LEDs are not constant current devices. They are diodes with non-linear I-V characteristic curve.

The question of supplying LEDs with CC or CV power supply is only the question of efficiency and cost.

Most LED strips are made as a serial/parallel combination of LEDs with an added resistor for each segment, to get the desired current through the LEDs in a segment from a ~12V CV power supply.

You don't really have that much choice when it comes to LED strips. CC power supply would need to generate thousands of volts or you'd need a bunch of them. And that would be costly.
Trading and approaches of the pineal gland; Fernando Martínez Gómez Tejedor
At this point there is no complete relationship between the action of tradear and the control of the pineal gland as a structure that completely controls the trading system, however it is well known that many of the functions that the pineal gland has within the human being they are perfectly used for the improvement and activation of thought and reasoning systems, a fact that improves and evolves the level of analysis and decision-making for a trader, which is why the trading expert Fernando Martínez Gómez-Tejedor has taken the task of studying the control of your own pineal gland, exercise it and strengthen your study in the workplace.

Few people are able to achieve total control of this gland that is part of our body, with the measure of age begins to slow down the segregation of the substance that helps us control our sensations. Promoting that gland to reactivate those stimuli for the control and benefit of our own sensations is not simple, but some have achieved it, others have taken the initiative to offer courses and workshops that help us understand what it is and its function, such as the businessman Fernando Martínez Gómez Tejedor did it mid-year in Madrid. An attendant to this workshop completely recommended the assistance and guidance of the trader who explained in a professional and simple way each one of the aspects of this area that has led to the success of many. And what do you think, dare to reactivate your pineal gland?
And this yet another example of the HN bubble. My parents retired at 55 and 57 in a small town and have never worried about money. My dad had maybe a million in retirement as a factory worker and my mom retired with a pension as a school teacher.

My mom did low pay volunteer work as a consultant for a few years after she retired, but now they are in their mid 70s and not “worried” about money between social security, a pension, and retirement savings. They don’t live an extravagant lifestyle.

That being said, I understand that they are fortunate to have had a guaranteed pension and paid for health care at 55.

On a more practical note, seeing that $120K a year is twice the average household income and even if you add another $25K for insurance, if you consider a return of 6% a year, most people could live comfortably with $2.5 million in investments. That would be even easier if you have a paid for house.

You're welcome.

Here's another quick example. It may or may not touch on your or the GGGP's point. So, no need to reply. I just thought I'd post something more while we wait for their reply.

say now - INIT now

This displays the time difference between the normal run-time moment that the `now` call before the minus is called and the `now` call after the minus sign which is run during the earlier INIT phase of execution: https://docs.perl6.org/language/phasers#phasers__INIT

In P5, phased code didn't return values so one needed to create a variable and initialize it elsewhere in the code.

P6 has many more phasers than P5 and allows many of them to return values to code that's run at a different phase. (This is sometimes called "time traveling" code.) This saves a lot of jumping back and forth needed to understand a fragment of code.

To be honest, I think I mixed up your comment with another person who mentioned several other sources including Daily Kos (which used to have a pretty good left presence that was almost completely driven off the site in 2016).

Some of the sources you cited are somewhat to the left, although I would characterize most of them as progressive left and not "leftist," which to me implies something like democratic socialism, syndicalism, libertarian socialism, or something even farther left. (That said, The Nation does have a front page article up from Chomsky! Good on them.)

After 2016, I noticed that many progressive outlets spent some time dipping their toes into neoliberalism -- lots of subtly pro-capitalist and pro-interventionist pieces, basically cheerleading the pre-2016 global order -- and as a result I tuned out from most of them. This may have changed? I revisited some of the names you mentioned and I don't see it so strongly anymore.

Note that CRI (Colour Rendering Index) is a bit bogus. It came about when florescent lights became a thing and was originally based on a sheet of printed colour swatches. RGB LED lighting promoters have pointed out that CRI doesn't really reflect the goodness of light sources other than florescent in practice.
The military disasters referenced are the Battle of Cannae and the previous Battle of Lake Trasimene, both of which suffered appalling losses by the Roman side when they were trapped unable to retreat. After those Rome relied on the unflashy but effective tactic of Fabius the Delayer to defeat Hannibal over a period of time, rather than risk yet another disastrous confrontation.

I respectfully disagree on Google being entirely transparent about tracking location, especially if you run Android + Google Play Services. I have a tablet (Pixel C) that runs LineageOS + Google Play Services and a Phone (Nexus 5x) that runs LineageOS vanilla (no MicroG, no UnifiedNLP, no Google Play Services). Some things I have noted:

- When you install MicroG/Google Play Services, they take over location services (i.e. they run in /system/priv-app, and if you disable their location, location on the device is disabled totally).

- Android by default has the default on option to scan wifi and Bluetooth when you turn them off to find wifi/bluetooth and coorelate it to your location.

- On my Pixel C, when if I try "high accuracy" or "battery saver" mode Location services, Google Play has tried to force me to agree to their location tracking and I have disagreed every single time. Location services does not work if I use "device only" (which is supposed to only use GPS).

- I have noted that on my phone now, if I disable location and then reenable it when I have moved more than 20-30 miles, the GPS has to reacquire the signal and can take up to 2 minutes (I also tried it when I drove several hundred miles, it took several minutes to reacquire). This is indicative of the GPS module being off totally. This was not so when it had Google Play Services on, it was able to reacquire my location extremely quickly, sometimes almost instantaneously even if I moved a long distance. I suspect that Google Play was still tracking my location even if I turned off location services (due to it totally controlling my location).

- EDIT: Another interesting note is that on my phone has had location services off and then turned just back on (i.e. no GPS lock), it appears to give the last time GPS was acquired as my current location. OSMAnd shows that location but says it doesn't know my location, but other apps do not realize that. I am suspecting that Android does not necessarily have a "stale" location, just the last reported location.

Putting my tin foil hat, I hypothesize Google anonymously tracks your location even if your location services if off (allowing them to do traffic, how busy a restaurant is, etc.).

EDIT: As correctly pointed out, networked assisted GPS is a thing, and may also play into the differences in GPS reacquiring. I believe that network assisted GPS is in AOSP. When I turn on and off GPS in Android, it appears to have the almanac for where to look for satellites based on SatStat, and how quickly my phone acquires the GPS signal is a function of where it used to be compared to where it is now. In addition, UnifiedNLP [1] scans for networks/cell towers and correlates it to location, it does not appear to implement networked assisted GPS.

IP-based location isn't very accurate due to IPv4 addresses becoming a scarce resource.

Mobile 3G/4G data networks are reusing those IPs, so at best you'll get a country or state-level accuracy.

The IP of home / business connections can be static and the accuracy can be good, however you're not taking that IP with you when on the move. So in order to track a user's movement, online services have to link that IP to some unique identifier of that user.

It's not insurmountable of course and native apps have no problem in generating such unique identifiers per user, however without consent it's now illegal to use a user's IP for tracking his location under GDPR and it's also illegal to generate unique identifiers for users without consent. Even logging IPs is now illegal, unless you're doing it for security purposes and only for a limited amount of time.

Also the Terms of Use documents aren't sufficient, there are already many lawsuits active and we'll soon hear of the fallout.

its maybe interesting to read up on what these kind of intelligence services amounted to before the internet and what they generally did. then you can translate these activities to the digital age and see very easily what they do and don't do.

even in the first episode of cryptolog (nsa) they state that collectors 'might chose or not chose what rules to adhere to to complete their collection job'. so theres rules not to do things and people with choices (like everywhere in life) and these choices aren't aligning to these rules. like always, a channel for plausible deniability and if the shit hits the fan a scapegoat is chosen to mitigate any damages if public eye caught something suspicious. plain and simple how the intelligence agencies work in whatever context.

Web Tweeps – A list of developers / designers / artists to follow on Twitter
One of the sites opened fullscreen mode to hide browser UI. Note that currently web browser developers are implementing a fullscreen mode with keyboard lock that is much harder to leave because it blocks most of system key combinations: [1]. The only keys that will still work are Ctrl + Alt + Del or holding an Esc for two seconds. And as I assume you cannot leave it using mouse or touchpad.

Another problem is that browsers are tol complicated. Building Firefox from source requires you to have a powerful machine with multicore CPU and lot of memory and comilation would take a lot of time. This could stop people from contributing fixes.

Ask HN: Is Google infiltrating HN?
I have seen a bunch of articles to do with Google products created with accounts just a few hours/days old.

e.g The dozens upon dozens of Flutter articles

I have also seen lots of slandering of Google's competitors and praise of Google (Even if they weren't directly referenced previously) in comments. Also created by accounts fresh accounts.

Do you think they could be doing PR on HN? Or am I just noticing it because I think they might be doing it?

Groundbreaking study examines effects of screen time on kids
Two things:

One: If this is the best Flutter has to offer, it needs to go back to the drawing board. It's too verbose. 20 lines for a custom app bar. 7 lines for a contact list title. An entire page? Good lord, 24 lines.

The only part it got right was the data-driven-esque portion at lines 66-76. Most UI development should look like this.

But if you're telling me I need to write imperative code to set padding, much like the article complains about, you're wasting my time. In fact, most of the code shown here is imperative. It's not declarative in any sense. The entirety of the ViewController definition is imperative.

I've written UIs my entire career. Entire career. This isn't progress. It's why teenagers are having so much fun with web technologies, and in my adult years I've been dying to see something come out and replace them.

Two: You need an answer to the visual formatting model [1]. Yeah, you know, the W3C recommendation from 2011, which practically speaking has existed since '09, and frankly before that, CSS1 was great for a majority of work. Facebook's answer was Yoga. Great, but that's only the beginning.

Most UI examples seem innocent enough when you're providing samples only a few hundreds of lines of code long. But codebases are filled with these things into the 10s and 100s of thousands of lines of code, and all too often that's literally only for positioning elements around.

Separate from this, you need event logic in entirely separate files. Yeah, I know it's not really how people do things in React these days, but it's a hard step backwards. I firmly believe this. It's another reason why people are holding on to Vue, which, granted you can put an entire component's code in one file, but eventually you will really, really, not want this.

You'll eventually want to think of things in classical styling separate from logic, and logic from layout, which all coincidentally have been in place with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for decades.

Apple isn't the target. They're a non-player. WHATWG and W3C are.

Anything else is acting like an athlete trying to compete with an old man.

The author appears to fall into that category.

They seem to acknowledge this:

The above graph is misleading in one way though because it is dependent on a specific metric, GDT_TS, which only measures gross topology. If we care about high resolution topology, which we certainly do for most practical applications, then a more appropriate metric is GDT_HA, and using it the picture looks a bit different:

[graph]

Still a good trendline, but much further down from a “solution”.

Another caveat is that both of these metrics measure global goodness of fit, which is important in terms of the basic scientific problem, but is often not indicative of functional utility. Local accuracy, for example the coordination of atoms in an active site or the localized change of conformation due to a mutation, is what is often sought when answering broader biological questions. Global metrics hide local discrepancy by diluting it in the sea of generally good agreement between experimental and predicted structures.

and

Even for MSA / family-level predictions, there is the question of desired accuracy, which hinges on the biological application. If one is predicting protein structures to ascertain their general fold for function classification, then high accuracy is unnecessary. If on the other hand the objective is to design small molecule drugs that bind proteins, which require ~1Å accuracy in the local pocket, it is unclear if we have made any detectable progress.
Slavery and genocide didn't suddenly appear at the same time as capitalism as you and I would recognize.

Capitalism means free markets. Free markets means freedom to buy, sell and invest. Freedoms must be protected, and the freest markets have the strongest protections for person and property. Freedom and security go hand in hand.

If capitalism is responsible for slavery and genocide, then it's also responsible for eradicating slavery and genocide within its sphere.

Alternative economic systems don't magically promote human rights. Let's discuss the gap between rich and poor in China or Cuba. Or ethnic suppression and genocide in the USSR or China. Or endemic racism in Cuba. Or systematic impoverishment of millions of people in oligarchies across Africa and South America.

I'm still waiting for socialist systems to make a billion people freer and happier, instead of dead, impoverished or imprisoned.
