> What happens when you heat the ground and the water in it evaporates? What happens when you cool the ground and the water in it freezes? What happens to indigenous vegetation if you're messing with the ratio of air temperature to ground temperature all year?

Ground source geothermal has been deployed for decades without negative environmental effects.

The ground a few meters down (where ground source loops are placed) is a huge thermal mass, whose seasonal temp varies little, and space heating/cooling of buildings is not a significant enough force to overcome its inertia.

It is alao deep enough to have little effect on the air to ground temp ratio.

The biggest factor in that ratio is the variance it weather itself.

The ground source loops is highly localized near the building.

Putting up the building and the road to it was probably more damaging to indigenous vegetation than anything the heat pump would do.
I don't find it common. There was a recent comparison of photos from the past and current street lights. Current ones are way more white.

We know human systems experience them as well. But we can design roads and other things so that they don't trick us too much. We have very little intuitive design understanding of what can trick robots. And in a lot of cases this is also something how you can hack an AI system if you understand what it misperceives.

Wishful thinking, but according to his bio, he's been in more than a hundred film/TV roles, so there's quite a lot of his voice that's been recorded. There would be enough for his voice to be sampled and re-created for an AI assistant. Obviously this would require the approval of his next of kin.
I firmly believe in the absolute truth of mathematics, but I do not propose to deal with mathematical errors with cruelty, unless suggesting a correction be deemed cruel. The pythagorean response to the demonstration of irrational numbers was both reprehensible and not mathematical. If your proof is wrong, the most cruel response I propose is to ignore it.

My point is that there are some firm beliefs and some absolute truths that do not lead to atrocity.
I am also building an open source small robot for the farm. www.opensprayer.com trying to design for a total build cost of £2000. The idea is to use machine learning to identify weeds in my grass fields and selectivity spray them.

I think it would be rather hard to have such a system implement something like a sequence alignment algorithm, much less an NP hard problem like subgraph isomorphism, much less a humanly complex problem like tax filing software.
Ask HN: Why isn’t Wetware Computing mainstream?
I just read https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wetware_computer and I realized that synthetic biology + wetware computing would be a huge breakthrough for low power computing. It was studied extensively in the 90s but abandoned. Could it rise again?
Actually speedometers are required never to under-report the speed. They are allowed something like a 10% margin for over-reporting, but no under-reporting, to solve exactly the problem you describe.

I still remember the first installation of WhatsApp messenger on an old Samsung device of mine in 2012 as a high-schooler. It was incredibly liberating to finally discover an IM app that enabled me to send unlimited messages to my friends and not get hamstrung by SMS limits that existed in my country; especially one that was resource-light enough to run on my device's 866 MHz processor.

I'd largely glossed over Facebook's acquisition of WhatsApp back in '14 as just another big tech company eating up a smaller 'potential future competitor,' but in hindsight it looks like it was the beginning of the end of WhatsApp as a simple, reliable and ad-free private messenger.

Super glad I quit the platform in 2017 -- never been more tranquil.

In practice I’ve seen poor handling in Chrome on desktop when the router changes WAN IP. Chrome reports ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED rather than do something sensible — this problem doesn’t exist in HTTP/1.x. I assume it should just be reconnecting — or the server should be using the connection ID field properly.
iMessage would be a much better selling point if it was cross platform. Being able to only chat with other Apple users is kind of pointless.

> I encourage others to learn lisp. It’s really not a hard language, and the parentheses don’t get in the way after a brief period of acclimation.

Every time I try this, like twice a year, I get annoyed while setting up a development environment that supports the particular Lisp (usually Clojure), its syntax and the REPL. Last time I tried it was Spacemacs that didn't work as announced, on both Linux and macOS.

I am a Vi user and I would prefer to use that instead of learning a new environment such as Emacs. I want to set this up and have it work as frictionless as possible because learning a new programming language and its ecosystem is already enough work. However the Vim plugins (e.g. fireplace) also didn't "just work".
These are just some of my thoughts. Even my parents used to believe in fan death, and both my father and mother are very well educated. My father has a PhD, and my mother has a Masters.

The younger generation don't believe in fan death anymore. Still, many of the older Koreans that believe in fan death are very well educated. However, talking to my parents, they were not educated to think critically, and even today that is not a value that is stressed in Korea. Essentially the majority of older Koreans were raised in a society which had dictatorships, coup d'etat, assassinations, censorship, and government controlled media. Koreans had great economic success, but less freedoms, similar to the situation in China today. Questioning the status quo is detrimental, and keeping your mouth shut is a virtue still taught in Korea today. Knowledge such as fan death is just accepted as fact, and it stayed engrained until recently.

I don’t. This isn’t how Facebook works. Paid opt outs drain the highest-earning advertisees from the pool. That removes Facebook’s ability to charge dubious ad rates.

They do and they don't. Once, the only way to deal with the out group was to kill them. Slavery was developed as an alternative to killing. Now, we regard slavery as an abomination. Many countries are abolishing the death penalty. There is some progress, at least for a little while.

"Support costs" calculation often doesn't include the costs of not having support.

When I worked at GoDaddy, there were around 2/3 of the company was customer support.

At the current company I'm at, a cryptocurrency exchange, our support agents frequently hear they prefer our service over others because of our fast support response times (crypto exchanges are notorious for really poor support).

All of my interactions with Amazon support have been resolved to my satisfaction within 10 minutes or less.

Companies really ought to do the math on the value that comes from providing fast, timely, and easy (don't have to fight with them) customer support.

Google hasn't learned this lesson.
What makes you think the parent stopped looking at the submission at that point? They're simply reporting a spelling mistake. There's no reason to attack them for that.
I did this many years ago and it was great.

We actually got to a point where we had a couple of spare parts onsite (sticks of RAM, HD, etc) and so we repair immediately and then request the replacement. This was on a large HPC cluster so we had almost daily failures of some kind (most commonly we'd get a stick of RAM that would fail ECC checks repeatedly).
Yes. When the AWS status page failed to accurately inform their customers for several hours, AWS used Twitter to ensure that there was communication with their customers.

I wonder to what extend it's possible to include every executable from the standard apt-get ARM repository (but not any other resources) in the app. Since the code is included at compile time and bundled with the App, Apple should allow it. Then one could add some sort of apt-get shim that fetches the non-code resources and installs them; and something to catch system calls (which could maybe be overridden at compile time as well).

I think the internet is forking the consensus machine. It's now very easy to find a large number of people who share a belief system. People who, in the past, would have felt that they had unique beliefs and society would probably shun them, can now find kindred spirits and join a "movement".

See alt right, MRA, incels, and many other net-savvy extremist groups that only manage to reach critical mass due to the internet.

> These men were able to give the counsel they gave because they were operating at an enormous psychological distance from the people who would be maimed and killed by the weapons systems that would result from the ideas they communicated to their sponsors. The lesson, therefore, is that the scientist and technologist must, by acts of will and of the imagination, actively strive to reduce such psychological distances, to counter the forces that tend to remove him from the consequences of his actions.

But what happens instead is often enough that this "warm, fuzzy" feeling we get from that (awesome) story, is also evoked for the "awesome technology that can make a real impact to save human lives" or "make wars less bloody" etc.

Bottom line is, it cannot think. Even humans too often don't really think about what they are doing, but our machines cannot, even in their brightest moments. Not on the level we're talking about here, anyway. If they could, we would make damn sure it could not "refuse orders".

I remember reading in some Brian Acton interview that Facebook leadership believes that ads would bring in more money than charging businesses for access, integrations and premium features.

Living in a country where WhatsApp is ubiquitous, I really don't understand that. Is it just a lack of imagination on Facebook's part? Companies, from tiny ones all the way up to enterprises, will pay serious money to be able support customers over WhatsApp in an effective way. And then I've not even begun to consider the marketing channel WhatsApp could be (also without turning into a spam hotbed).

Facebook is the gatekeeper to WhatsApp, effectively a monopoly to a piece of core telecom infrastructure for a lot of countries. They could squeeze this out to the max.
Right now, they give all of this away for nearly free and share the profit with the likes of MessageBird and Twilio. TBH i'd prefer they tax businesses than my eyeballs.

And since my roommate in Japan fell asleep in front of an air conditioning and woke up with a severe bronchitis, I know that falling asleep in front of an AC isn't the best idea either. Luckily I was suffering from severe diarrhea at the same time, so we both had something to make fun of each other. Although his laughter sounded a bit weird due to the bronchitis.
We can't just say that people want X so we ought to allow it.

Who's "we"?

At least here in the US, >60% of the voting public are Facebook users. So we're not talking about "a significant portion" - we're talking about the majority. You sound an awful lot like someone trying to claim that "you know what's best for us".

I think it's clear that Facebook on the whole has detrimental effects on society.

I don't think this is clear at all. Rigorous evidence please! And not "oh look this bad thing happened" - because if that's the standard of evidence then we should ban cellphones, airplanes, riding lawn mowers, and chewing gum.

I think the downvotes were because "society punishing people for their views" doesn't really apply to a PR move made by a non-governmental corporation.

Also, sometimes "punishment" (Luckey got $100M, so hard to call this a punishment) is positive.

It's how some societies keep dangerous views, like racism or the support of slavery, from turning into harmful actions.

That seems plausible.
I 100% agree that these services are incredible, but I think you're downplaying the changes in the last few years a bit much, considering the tooling improvements and plummeting prices.

As an example: last week at work, we had a situation where some product designer types and some engineers were having a hard time thrashing out aspects of a particular thing we've been talking about. It literally took me one working day and ~$300USD, to go from an email thread, to an order of custom PCBs and parts to make 10 physical widgets, which will be in our hands this week. In the meantime, I can nut out the firmware on a dev board from the pile of such things in my desk drawer, with free tools, easy-to-get docs, etc. That dev board costs about the same as two or three pints at the local pub.

I think in 1998, an engineer at my level would've spent an equal or greater amount of time on making a document and illustrations to explain the concept and tradeoffs that go in to it, then meetings to talk over that document, and possibly still no concrete conclusion. Instead, we get a small pile of working prototypes to fuss with and iterate on - if we go in this direction then we're already a substantial step toward the real product. And, our main office is in California, the factory is in China, and I'm in a small city in New Zealand.

Sure, this was something that could be done back then, but only if you were in the right place, and had the relevant parts pretty well figured out, and it would've cost a fair bit more money.

Moldovans believe you can get sick from leaving a window open and the breeze coming in. You can be on a packed, sticky hot microbus and they will not crack open a window.

I don't think this superstition is specific to Eastern Europe because I've heard some Germans state similar things about leaving windows open and getting sick.
Thank goodness there isn't a consensus machine here.
It seems that the case being made there is that because the forces of goodness and freedom can't actually take on the forces of bad and evil whole cities must be leveled to the ground to drive out the enemy and the people... And then when the enemy is fleeing like rats it's easy pickings for the divine superior air power of the forces of goodness and freedom.

Obviously the billions to be made rebuilding cities by the banks of the forces of goodness and freedom is a definite incentive. Not to mention multi-national oil companies which will help rebuild these countries. Sure you might use chemicals like Agent Orange to defoliate entire forests so you can get at the enemy for similar reasons, but that's a small price to pay for the forces of freedom and goodness to prosper.

But what about real solutions? How about not starting wars and creating power vacuums and minding your own business. But you say war is our business. And I can't help but nod and agree.
