Nice! Like the map with colors. For Schengen it is not accurate though, e.g. from Iceland and Norway all of EU is visa free.

I believe he was interested in hearing the details of the bridge deal.
Hah! I think that's debatable, but I won't. :)
Your point about political risk is very valid, but your points about the waste and cost need to be reconsidered. A big part of the cost is artificial, not inherent: regulation. A person may or may not think the regulations are a good thing, but it's not an inherent cost. The waste is not much problem. The amount of waste to power the lives of a whole family for their entire lives would easily fit in a shoebox and be easily contained in water. And most of that radioactivity dissipates very quickly.

You do have to be careful and read the fine print. This year, I was turned away at the Belarusian-Lithuanian border (US citizen) because I had read on that Wikipedia page that it was Visa free. In fact, it is only visa free if you arrive via the Minsk airport. Fortunately I was only driving through a tiny part of Belarus on my way to Poland so it was a simple matter of another 30 minutes or so of driving to enter Poland via the Lithuanian border.
Me either.

My last three Android phones (two Motorola and an HTC) have excellent sound from their headphone jacks. I use my phone and two iPads on a regular basis with headphones, and I've never heard pops between tracks or noticeable hiss with any of them.I

I write audio software on embedded Linux devices for a living. I know what clicks and pops between tracks sound like, and usually why they happen. But I don't think this guy's two-op-amo buffer is doing what he thinks it's doing.
One of the goals of the Potsdam Deceleration was to be intentionally vague about the terms of surrender, and the terms were never formally rejected. It doesn't fit the guidelines of the petition, and barely counts as an attempt at peace without bombing or invasion.

Sure, and your school experience is also not necessarily broadly representative of all education in the US. The US education system is generally known for having deemphasized rote memorization compared to the past and compared to other countries today, Asian countries mostly.
You picked a bunch of partisan issues then claimed your side is "right" and the other side is "wrong". I'm not even commenting on what's right or wrong, I'm just saying it's subjective.
Can you tell me where? I must have honestly missed it and so must have all the other people who think this https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/aug/19/bitcoin-u... is true.
I disagree with you. When you “owned” a physical cd, you had to ability to sell it. When you own the digital version it is not possible to resell it.
Is this an another way of saying that the only way to fuse to Hydrogen is to create a structure as large and with gravitational features that of a star?

Then a star/solar energy is the only way you will ever have large scale fusion energy generation and harvesting.

Paul`s remark is neat, on thursday I got a top of the range Nissan GT-R: after making $6612 this last four weeks and just a little over ten-k last munth. this is certainly the easiest work Ive had.

It's also a function of not yet having really cheap, scalable storage that's not limited by geography.

In any case, it's clear that nuclear can do the job if we're smart about it, because France did it.
Don't forget to mention that old waste can even be consumed in modern reactors.
The Guardian article doesn't say it is legal tender either. Legal tender has a very specific meaning.

The German source says that for some purposes it is "treated equally to legal tender" and that "exchanging virtual currencies to legal tender and back is tax free". Neither statement makes sense if it were legal tender.

Its status for some purposes is similar to that of other non-Euro currencies (e.g. contracts between private parties agreeing on it etc), none of which are legal tender in Germany.
Then does the bias you assume others to have not apply equally to you? It doesn’t matter what arguments are made here, if you’re all-in on blockchain you’re not going to listen to any of them. Also, how do you account for such scepticism from the community? Do you think everyone just irrationally hates new technology? Given where we are that seems unlikely.

Its not that he spent the time and effort to do it. I personally took exception the sentiment that iPhone owners are somehow less competent or capable simply because they would rather spend their time solving problems other than listening to music on headphones.
The other thing is, something can be both lame and popular. Its popularity doesn't somehow magically erase its shortcomings.
In the US, absolutely. In other countries, not so much.

No one has ever suggested that renewables = solar.

Renewables are always a mix of solar, wind, hydro, and - eventually - wave.
I think the same arguments can be said about P2P during the file sharing era. File sharing was often used for sketchy purposes most of the time, like cryptocurrencies, and people argued the underlying technology (P2P) was the key breakthrough especially for legal applications. While there are some minor cases of using P2P these days, it really hasn't made the impact that was expected. I don't see why the same won't happen for blockchain and technology underlying cryptocurrencies.

I think that’s sort of OP’s point. The criticisms that come up may be valid, but that doesn’t mean the whole enterprise is doomed.
With a known, credible blogger-author like in the OP, he could just specify a bitcoin address, and I'd send him the money, and I'd trust him to then email me the book.pdf, it doesn't have to be a fancy tit-for-tat blockchain transaction.

I'm guessing you missed where the guy took a dedicated music playing device (CD player of decent quality) and obtained other issues.

The fact of the matter is that most small devices have audio packages that simply are not up to the task, and that includes dedicated music players.

Nothing unhealthy with bread, rice, pasta...

In Sicily, as that is the example given, people are poorer than the European average and significantly poorer than the American average. Yet they have a healthier diet.

The issue of unhealthy diets in the US/Europe is not so much poverty but a culture of junk food and not knowing better.
It's not a standard at all. It's part of the answer to "Should the West be worried about China?" The West's plentiful historical/present wrongdoings don't really affect the answer.

I do agree that most have been trying to solve the wrong problems with blockchains, but to write off the technology in it's entirety seems rather ridiculous...

Is immutability not a powerful programming concept? Is it not valuable to be able to prove that a piece of data is exactly how it was years ago? Or to be able to prove that a given signature was created before the corresponding private key was lost/compromised?
> The single most crucial aspect of the Green New Deal is its proposed job guarantee, a controversial policy that says that every American can have a job with the government if they want one.

One of the pros/cons of capitalism is that companies and workers will fight policies that make them less money. The Holy Grail for any capitalist policy is something that does the right thing and makes money.

Doing the right thing is unfortunately optional. Making money is not. Idealists want big government policy to just do the right thing. Capitalists want businesses to have unrestricted access to making money. If we can align policy with both interests I think we can make serious progress.

In my opinion, I think we have a better chance at fighting climate change with a bill that fits in s piece of paper rather than thousands of pages of regulations and loopholes.
Or, you know, they can't afford buying a house, and make a virtue out of necessity.
At this point I’m reserving all judgement until I can closely examine the financials.

Often these types of extravagant projects involve the same type of “forward looking” growth estimates that almost never pan out after every middle man takes their slice off the top.

I really hope we don’t become too enamored with new political alternatives that our critical eye gets lazy.
There is certainly an opportunity cost related to all these bankruptcies - I agree with that. But without someone trying it, we would not know it would fail. So in a way, it is a valuable result as well. (and no, I do not believe someone can have perfect vision to know 100% one use of capital is right and another one is not - this is part of the process - trying and failing or succeeding)
One possible solution: get Bluetooth headphones instead, such as the equivalent Bluetooth Audio-Technica headphones to what's pictured in the post, the ATH-DSR9BT:

https://www.audio-technica.com/cms/headphones/6117c014c965cd...

"The ATH-DSR9BT over-ear wireless headphones employ Audio-Technica’s new Pure Digital Drive system, which allows the headphones to operate without a sound-degrading D/A converter that conventional wireless headphones rely upon. Instead, the ATH-DSR9BT utilizes Trigence Semiconductor’s Dnote chipset to receive the digital audio signal from a Bluetooth wireless transmission, process and transfer it to the driver where the digital pulses of the chipset move the voice coil and diaphragm forward and backward to create the sound waves heard by the listener."
Even on decentralized networks like ethereum/bitcoin, it's possible for governments and companies to have a major impact on network direction. True economic decentralization is more likely to come from products like Stripe Atlas that give small players scaling and distribution tools that previously, only big corporations or well-resourced founding teams had access to.
There is a flaw in your reasoning: By definition if a plant needs to be throttled then it's surplus power generation has negative (or zero) utility/value and therefore does not contribute to it's profitability whether it's running or not. Throttling the plant doesn't reduce it's profitability, since the power it would product at that point has no value - that's why you need to throttle it.

That wouldn't explain why young people in previous eras bought houses sooner.
I keep asking for one cryptocurrency based application or service with a lot of users that is not directly related to cryptocurrency itself and that is not illegal.

I keep getting nil. I keep searching independently and getting nil.

The closest I've found is the Sia storage network but it's hard to set up and not competitive with cloud storage. If I want privacy I can just encrypt locally before using S3, Backblaze, etc. If I want redundancy I can use two cloud storage services in parallel.
With due respect mate but you say that blockchain isn't comparable to the internet because you say so, and I say it is because that's what I work on.... How are we to move forward?

Should we have a discussion on what the internet is and what blockchain is? I mean, you define a blockchain by its ledger component while I believe that's only a small part of it...
I suspect that US military leaders would be much more hesitant to spend the lives of untold thousands of US soldiers, and a prolonged firebombing campaign would have been the most likely non-nuclear continuation. Whether that would have saved lives or cost more is impossible to guess

In the past I've used AP Circuits (https://www.apcircuits.com/home.aspx) and E-Teknet (https://e-teknet.com/) with good results from Eagle CAD pcb files. It has been a few years though, so YMMV.
The GP's post had "below the panels" in the description of the "wind farm", which was preceded by "actually, solar does have an impact". Surely the charitable explanation is that "wind" was just a mistake?
Author of DOOM's Black Book gets $0.77 profit from book priced $54 on Amazon
The economics aren't there. Solar and wind are well below the costs of nuclear and still dropping fast. Costs of energy storage are dropping fast as well. I think the window has closed on nuclear for the time being. Thinking as an investor it's too risky and too expensive to produce the same fungible commodity as a solar cell + battery.

We're fast getting to the point where wind and solar is going to wipe out fossil fuel generation - for new construction - in some places it already has. Never mind nuclear, nuclear just isn't in the game anymore.

I don't understand why anybody would use this site vs the wikipedia site. Can somebody explain the utility here?
I am not being sarcastic. By choosing the title he did, the author is setting himself up for comparison with a really famous work, and I have to wonder whether that was wise. It was, to say the least, bold.

Would I have reacted differently to something similar done by someone who is not Asian? Hard to say; I can't interrogate my mind with complete reliability from the inside. But believe the answer is no, I would have reacted the same way regardless of the race of the author.
I've used a few later versions of rule-based tools like https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/knowledge-engineerin... but never got to try the original Lisp ones. Merging ART or one of the other ones in Common-Lisp with some semantic-web tools like allegrograph would be interesting.
Not sure about the Åland Islands, but at least Faroe and Greenland have a different visa regime than Denmark (they are both not in Schengen. Also Danish citizen residing e.g. in the Faroe are not seen as Schengen citizen, or something like that).

Generally a hard edge case are all those autonomous or semiautonomous territories. Like all the islands of UK and France (some French territories are part of the EU, some are not). It's often a lot harder to get info on the visa requirements for those.
I guess this must be a regional thing dependent on population density. Where I live in the US, I have seen plots from my ancestors who died 150 years ago. I've never known of any relatives whose plots have been reused. Though the rate at which cemeteries are created/expanded is much lower than I would expect, even accounting for the fact that only ~50% of the population is buried. I've often wondered how to explain the discrepancy...
You could have started by putting forward an argument in support of your position, rather than an appeal to your personal authority.

Best time to build a crypto company. It almost seems like too many people in the HN filter forgot about how closely this resembles the dotcom boom and bust.
I checked one combination for which I am fairly aware of the details and I find multiple errors:

USA, visiting China.

It tells me 30 day stay, 90 day visa validity--but down in "tips" it correctly says I would get a 10 year visa. (In practice--I hold a 60 day stay visa, my (China-born) wife has a 90 day stay. These are by no means our first visas, though.)

It also says registration is required within 24 hours--this is the rule for urban areas, in rural ones it's 72 hours. Also, in practice this normally does not matter as the hotel does it for you--you just need to do it yourself if you're not in a hotel.

It also lists financial document requirements that AFIAK are not expected of Americans.
No, it's saying that large-scale fusion using hydrogen fuel requires a star, because hydrogen fusion reactions are very improbable. That reaction only happens when four nuclei collide at once.

Fortunately we have other fusion fuels that are much more likely to fuse, including deuterium, which makes up 1/2500 of the hydrogen atoms in the ocean. Most projects target the easiest fuel, deuterium-tritium; while tritium isn't naturally available on Earth, it can be bred from lithium.

If you want HN and other people to take Bitcoin seriously, it's in your interests not to make false or inaccurate claims.

It's anecdotal at this point but I think ballot harvesting did play a role in California. Why keep ballots from people you think might be opposing your party? Toss them and keep only those you think will vote for your party. Next time the Republicans are going to go big for ballot harvesting and I think we're going to see huge fraud issues.

Is Solyndra a good example of why government intervention to spur solar deployment has unintentional downsides that cost far more than the benefit provided?

I think that as the cost of solar and wind come down, then markets will purchase more of it. Heavy handed government mandate just doesn't work due to inefficiency and bureaucratic mismanagement.
I was confused by the order of countries and thought you were turned away by Lithuanians. Being turned away by Belorussians as a US citizen makes much more sense.
Why not just scrape the info from Wikipedia? It will be a lot easier for you to maintain, you'll have access to more data than you do now, and the information will be a lot more accurate. You can also fetch the latest info once a day (or more often for that matter) without worrying about your IP being blacklisted. Even if you had a million active users then I doubt you'd end up with more accurate and up-to-date info than what you can find on Wikipedia.

To me it also seems very misleading when countries that only allow 15-30 days visa-free entry are being listed as visa free. I like the layout of the website, but I personally can't see myself using it as long as I still need to visit Wikipedia for accurate information with regard to visa free duration.
A USB DAC connected to the old-laptop maybe? I have one on a Mini-PC that's the player for my music library - totally moved the digital-to-analogue conversion out of the noisy PC, and results in really clean audio.

Wow, that is the interesting article, not the wikipedia one. Some excerpts:
