My friend an I made a simple RSS aggregator to use with HN and other news feeds for ourselves, However we thought we would share it with everyone else.
Please check it out and give us feedback

How do you define "too much authority", and what are the questions that allow you to find that out?
I kind of love the ridiculousness of the idea of someone who cannot be sworn in running anyway.
In the US it takes about 14 years for a new fission plant. You can make a lot of PV panels, wind turbines, and storage in that amount of time. You will also get economies of scale benefits and technology improvements.
They also have Google One now for 2$ a month.
Hopefully, this will be humanity's last problem of this kind.

Or, now that I think of it, hopefully it won't be.
Speaking as someone who lives off grid: solar technology today is more than good enough to solve this problem, but people will have to adjust their lifestyle to consume less energy. Switching to a finite off grid battery bank it's remarkable how quickly you adapt to just doing less energy intensive stuff.
The 20 Best TV Dramas Since ‘The Sopranos’
What precedent Apple has been doing it for years by not allowing apps chinese government disapproves off. Or most media companies censoring parts of movies according to the censor boards of the country they want to play on. Even some european shows/movies have had censored cuts in the US for rating purposes.
The opening chords of So What capture this feeling perfectly.
Yes they also have to be the best of the best or they get kicked out.

You wanna get paid well you gotta make some sacrifices
How is the Google way not even more so "moving as much of the burden and repercussions onto the consumer as possible"? They let fraudsters kill your accounts just so they don't have to take any liability or staff humans.

I've said this and will say it again, Google doesn't know how to deal with humans. They've failed in every endeavor where humans have to be in the loop.
> Audiophiles aren't going to buy it since it only had a 3.5mm jack on it

Apparently the Chromecast Audio supports optical digital output, but Google never seemed very good at publicizing that feature. They had some instructions hidden under "Compatible cables and plugs" here:

https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/6280276

(That said, I just double-checked my studio monitors & they only have analog XLR & 1/4" inputs anyway.)
You should compare all aspects. How much land it uses, how much energy it produces over 50 years, how dirty is the manufacturing process (solar panels involve extremely toxic materials to be made) etc... Its not black and white.
You're pretending like arguments live in vacuums.

Your use of analytics undermines your argument because it's clear you don't actually believe what you're writing, which means you're not presenting the entire set of facts as you believe and understand them, which means you're lying on some level, either to yourself or to your readers.
“Proof-Of-Work” Proves Not to Work (2004) [pdf]
The same way you say, "At XYZ Corp, I earned $125,500 per year." --- namely, you don't.

You don't put these numbers into your resume when they are nonzero, so why put them in when they are zero.
> that discriminates against these people in different ways

That's the sad state we are in and in my view is getting worse or perhaps I am getting old and cynical.

Also vice presidency. They have to be eligible to be president, since most of their job is to be a hot spare.
Yeah I think that’s the one! Where did you find this? Is it business 101 stuff?

Mastercard is a part of society, its actions are "society reacting".
Entirely false.
right, good point. didn't think of that. you can push after --amend but gitpitch may not work with that.
So only murderers should judge other murderers?

Hmm.
it costs $xxK to buy a car. It costs 0$ to use Gmail, Drive, Youtube, etc. These two are not gonna have the same level of customer support. Fi is a paid service, and I do expect it to have a better support (which in my own experience, they do), but to compare Google as a whole to Toyota doesn't seem fair.
Do we have similar resources for Discrete GPU's? I checked on wikichip, the GPU information is hard to come by or I am missing some Google fu.

Thanks for sharing the above very useful resources, blocked my Saturday for first scan!
how many thousands of square miles of arable land did we hand over to corporations to turn corn into biodiesel? How many of those square miles dump phosphorous-rich run-off into the Mississippi, creating a deadzone of how many thousands of cubic miles in the Gulf of Mexico?

Ever been out West? The suburban roofs alone provide enough real estate for most solar. Imagine if we turned the roads into solar. There's plenty of space for solar.
ASRock DeskMini A300 PC Launched at CES with World’s First AMD Mini STX Platform
FYI, this was written in 2008, before IF became a thing.
When we establish a Mars colony it will probably take centuries before it's truly self-sufficient. I don't see the point of starting with a self sufficient colony on Earth, especially if the challenges are quite different from Mars.
The hemp flowers are good, cbd is interesting. We did a small experiment using hemp as replacement for tobacco. There is very little psychoactive components. The difference is that it smokes like a dream. When the user runs out though, tobacco cravings come back full swing. It could become a good harm reduction technique for tobacco/vaping users. Still the production is just starting in my state, so it's rare and expensive.
You're going to buy more just so that the next version of Chromecast/Cast/Home/whatever drops support for them?
Talking about the bubble to the bubble is a tough road to hoe, so good luck.
The Next Generation Galaxy S10 Smartphone Will Be Launched on February 20, 2019
Like when dead people win elections. A dead guy won a seat in the Nevada legislature this past November.
Well if regular Chromecast would have a 3.5mm port then fine, but I wouldn't be holding my breath.
> Obviously sarcasm, but as a non-car-owner I get a kick out of people freaking out about these scooters taking up public space. Meanwhile every street in the city is full of cars...

I don't follow...these things aren't comparable. Cities have developed a common infrastructure over decades to facilitate car ownership and usage in everyday life. While they may do the same with rental bikes and scooters in the future, they have not yet done so.

We also have a rich body of legal literature pertaining to car ownership, storage, usage and property laws. Likewise, we don't yet have those precedents for rental scooters stored on sidewalks. What we do have is a rough patchwork of sidewalk and property laws we can try to extrapolate from. How's that for efficiency?

That you get a kick out of peoples' dissatisfaction about this, for the reason you stated, suggests to me that you don't actually understand why they're upset. I don't think most people are strictly concerned about how literally space-efficient the scooters are; rather that they have a tendency to be parked on a sidewalk. People would get pretty upset if cars were suddenly parked on sidewalks without oversight too.
> the ordering remains monotonic

That only holds true if you assume people will act the same exact way and with the same exact outcomes. This is a silly assumption to make when you significantly change both the incentives and the difficulty.

> The scraps ... will go to addressing externalities and common goods.

What world do you live in?
Wouldn't this be redundant, as Amazon has already bought out Twitch?
Is there some disadvantage to using a dedicated Google account solely for Google Fi?
The people dont care about decentralization or centralization. This is all a big generalization, but humans are lazy and when it comes to making a moral choice, they're going to pick the path of least resistance and completely ignore all moral consequences. Its looks like at the moment centralized services are what the people want and it's what they deserve.
I've been doing this for years without any trouble.
PayPal and eBay might as well be direct and just tell the seller/receiver to outright fuck off. It's a scammers paradise between the two. They are both awful corporations that blatantly support obvious fraud. They don't give a shit. They should be criminally investigated.
Each house of Congress is the judge of its own members' qualifications and elections returns, and together they are the judge of the qualifications of the President and Vice President. In principle they could allow Musk to become President; in practice it would never happen. (It's also possible that the courts might step in and forbid some candidacy on qualification grounds, but I think that's unlikely.)
I'm curious to know how relevant this study is to the tech used today... Especially cryptocurrencies..
Solutions that concentrate control in the hands of a centralized authority? No thanks.

I prefer solar, which is still highly underutilized and way easier to keep independent of central control. And wind, and hydro. And I just take the headline to mean that somebody at the WSJ stands to profit from a (unlikely) nuclear power resurgence.

BTW for anyone who brings up the problem of the sun not shining at night, that is a solved problem, with the ongoing advances in and availability of battery technology.
The Antarctic is actually heavily protected by treaties preventing colonisation and exploitation of resources.

This all goes up for grabs when the treaties expire in a few decades and it's presently an environmental issue to try and get them resigned rather than have an oil rush there.
Other than the fact that musicians and music have been victims of censorship? Other than the fact that musicians had to overcome attempts to censor music? Whether it is ragtime or rock 'n roll or gangsta rap or even classical like mahler. You would think a profession that depends on free speech protection would be more sympathetic to free speech.

Also, in many instances, you can predict someone's political views with some accuracy just by their profession.
The fear is that Google might turn Gmail down? Seems implausible, no?
What were your biggest lifestyle changes?
> Why should they continue to give this person money if they don't want to?

They're just managing contributions, and taking a cut. So it's not like they're paying a salary or whatever.
I've waited almost 15 minutes for an ssh(1) to a server to complete, with a latency of 1-2 minutes per command.

30 seconds, predictably? I'd take it any day over that.
Personal solar installations are the least efficient and least reliable form of renewable energy. It’s great for people like you who are really motivated to do it, but telling people to demand less energy is not a solution to the worlds energy demands. I highly question how responsible it is to promote such a patently unviable solution as being a realistic way to meet global energy demands.
>c. When alpha goes below 2, the expected return also becomes infinite, so ERiβ=∞∞. This is an undefined quantity and can’t be compared apples to apples to ERm. Are these good investments? What we know is that early stage venture funds seem to have alphas of about 1.95, just below 2 (see the post I referenced above). This is the area where venture capitalists operate.

To me, it seems that there needs to be a better technical model to describe risk reward in the alpha < 2 area. How do you even define beta/alpha for something pre revenue?

Do you know of any interesting conditional expected return models that incorporate time value of money?

Only thing in my mind that makes sense to me is if there was a concept of delta-neutral investing like there is in options market, where you should invest in an incumbent company while at the same time taking a position in a start up that could put that company out of business in the future, while trying to manage the position by taking profit when the value of the incumbent starts to exceed the amount invested in the start up.

I'm interested, could you share with us the the entire metric you used to determine the relationship?
This is a fairly new requirement; it used to be possible to buy a SIM anonymously in Germany. Apparently some politician said "but terrorists" and put a stop to that.
There was still wild hemp growing from when farmers grew in So Wisconsin & No Illinois when I was growing up there in the `60 & `70s. My grandfather used to point it out as we drove on the rural farm roads.

Nobody really paid any attention to it until guys started coming home from Vietnam and they'd point it out.

When I was around 11-12 some friends and I got our hands on a paper grocery sack full of plants someone had found. No buds on them, just leaves and stalks. We probably smoked about half of it up before someone older told us it was "hemp" and wouldn't get us buzzed. It was about a week after that most everyone I knew had heard about us. Kids were getting "grounded" all over town just for knowing us.

Soon after the local Ag Dept guys started campaigns to eradicate it and did a pretty good job of it. Probably sprayed tons of pesticides along miles and miles of those old farm roads to do it.
This is a good point. Local energy co-ops can create their own solar farms.
Definitely, and as a result I wisely stay the hell out of Saudi Arabia. I’m also known to avoid North Korea while I’m at it. I certainly don’t try to change their legal system from my keyboard.
> I would love to see pharmacy advertising banned from television and streaming services

In every country in the world it is, except two. The US, and New Zealand, where it is being phased out, and was only allowed in the first place because the US demanded it as part of a trade agreement.
I don’t think they meant it was the only solution for everybody on the planet.
I read this book over and over when I was a kid.
I don't find this compelling. I will probably read this article, but only after I'm done trawling through all the comments. I read the first story like this that I ran into, because it was interesting that such coordination and planning could happen in the MMORPG world. But when these stories of coordinated griefing and betrayal are the only things you see coming out of EVE, you have to wonder if the people playing this game are all just a bunch of dumb cunts.
>I think the part ignored by so many is the need to decentralize the computers into the home. I'm not talking meshes or shared resources

This same thought has popped up in my mind as well before... I think it's a probable future only if these devices are discrete plug-in and forget machines and generate revenue for the owner.
This is Musk we're talking about here. He might have decided this over lunch a few hours before the announcement.
> social activities of government can only be funded by budget-constrained financing

> commercial activities can be funded via issuing currency through fractional reserve banking

It's because the benefits of social activities cannot be captured and its value extracted. Commercial activity can - and therefore, there's motive for somebody to fund it to get richer.

The Mythical Man Month by Frederick Brooks

It's not very recent. The shilling hit a low point in 2008 and appreciated by over 3000% from 2012-2014.

According to what I read the "stability" prior to the central bank was a result of an equilibrium between the value of a note and the value of the paper it was printed on. Since there wasn't a central government printing money, it didn't decline further, but tying up $100 in paper to represent $100 seems pretty suboptimal.
Dont forget about device maintenance, which is a huge burden. Users of centralized services never have to worry about upkeep.

Apple AirPods. They’ve been a pleasure to use unlike any other headphones I’ve had. The way the automatically pair to all my devices works well and the method of choosing which device is connected is well-thought-out.

Apple Watch is also well-designed. It doesn’t try to do too much, and every feature has become well-implemented over the years. For example, it used to be a slow and annoying process to load music onto it. In recent watchOS I never have to think about it, whatever I’ve been listening to recently is there automatically and ready to send to my AirPods. But the feature I use most and which was the reason I bought one is Apple Pay, specifically that in Japan it supports mobile Suica for riding public transportation. Since the underlying technology for Apple Pay has been used in Japan for a long time, many businesses including almost every convenience store and even some vending machines supported it out of the gate.

“Helper” brand 65W USB-c charger. I can’t find it online anymore, presumably because it’s unsafe like many chargers. However, for $30 it has 1 USB-c port, 2 USB-a ports and compact adapters for most countries’ power outlets. It works for all of my devices including Nintendo switch and it’s dock (it uses a voltage which is often not implemented in USB-c chargers). I have 3, for home, work and my bag.

Raspberry Pi. It has some annoyances and I wish the design itself and processor selection was different. But, it was cheap enough and popular enough to arrive at the end result of amazing community support.
There are various levels of screening tests available (but not required) like ultrasounds, but the more definitive diagnostic tests (like amniocentesis) are more invasive and carry some risk to the fetus.

If you aren't sure that you'd abort the fetus if a genetic abnormality were detected, you'd probably be less likely to take a screening test that poses even a minor risk to the fetus. (of course, there are other reasons to know, like if you are considering a home birth versus hospital birth, you'd want to know if the baby will have any special needs at birth)
What's the interest in hemp other than for marijuana? It's the least useful of the bast fibers. Sisal, jute, and manila all have big markets. Hemp and kenaf are niche products. The EU has allowed hemp production for years and it's still a tiny business.
Bill Gates gave an interesting TED talk on this subject[1]. He said that in terms of the real politics, the only way to move to 100% renewable energy is to make it cheaper than fossil fuels so the naysayers have no reason to object. To that end, he has been investing heavily in TerraPower, a company developing a new kind of nuclear reactor that promises to be much safer and use the depleted uranium from other power plants as fuel.

Unfortunately, TerraPower recently received a major setback. It took them 10 years to secure a deal with the Chinese government to build one of their prototype power plants there, and now the Trump administration's aggressive stance toward China has killed that deal. Hopefully they'll be able to find another arrangement before they run out of funding.

It's hard but it's not "practically impossible". One route is to get permanent residency in Hong Kong first, then apply for Chinese citizenship there, which is much easier than directly applying in China.
How do you punish .com if they misbehave? Move every site off .com?
I think you've nailed it regarding problem-solving mentality and not overstating capabilities. And yes, I've sat right next to a salesperson and had to swallow my tongue while they told a customer that we could deliver something that we absolutely could not.

Fortunately, some of the side projects I've seen that have become successful don't appear to be overselling themselves based on their websites. So there must be room for success just by learning a process of how to get noticed by the right potential customers, and then plainly speaking what the product is.
But I can get a TMO customer rep on the phone in under 60 seconds. And just did, moments ago, to get an unlock code for an iPhone I sent with a friend who moved out of the US.

>most composers after him - Bartok and Messiaen being important exceptions! - sound abstract and unmusical.

I don't find Shostakovich abstract or unmusical. Possibly an additional exception?
Most US preemption devices are just a visible (and sometimes optional infrared) stroke at 80Hz. Visibility to the sensor/receiver device is largely subject to prevailing light (bright day, more challenging, night/shade, then it's easy to pick out the strobe).

I banged my head against this issue quite a bit last year. Specifically the thing that tripped me up, is how many fields can either have single value or be a list of values, and figuring out what is meant semantically when it's a list or a single value.
“You can just move to your own <other TLD>” isn’t even remotely plausible. Any site with worthwhile traffic isn’t going to just forklift to a new TLD and convince all their users to switch over. Imagine if .com was considered untrustworthy and suddenly every user in the US had to use google.othertld, facebook.othertld, etc.
I don't think it has anything to do with launch costs. Satellites take a very long time to develop, and they're hundreds of millions of dollars. You have one shot to get it right, and lowering launch costs doesn't really make a big dent in that.
