The other fix would be swappable batteries. But it would require a huge engineering effort.
I will challenge every use of dynamic (and var, for that matter), unless it's used in the very few appropriate cases.

This sounds interesting. Can you kindly link an example for this technique?
This sort of development seems good, not exactly from an moral point of view, but from the point of view of long-term reliability of the internet.

The IP protocols have some expectation of end-to-end packet delivery. Over time we found ways in which networks could be kept "working" with this requirement relaxed. Except what could be known to "work" was just whatever was tested by the manufacturers of various middle-boxes, making change and development of new ways of solving problems harder than it should be.

The less visibility middle-boxes have into what the the traffic is, the less they are able to selectively screw things up and the internet will be more reliable for it.
Hi! I'm one of the founders at GBatteries, please let me try to clear that up.

We've demonstrated 5 min to 50% charge, 10 min to 100% - I’ll edit this to include a demo that we’ve done at CES 2019, and that we’re now exhibiting at the Detroit Auto show demonstrating.

[EDIT] Video here: https://youtu.be/kSLrqR4TfnU
Note: Charging times can vary by ~1 minute here and there, because the algorithm is adaptive and characteristics of batteries change from moment to moment.

>First read says that they're delivering 60kWh in 15min, or they're pumping electrons at 240kW. This is just nonsense -- most deployed DC fast chargers are 50kW... the charger companies and the OEMs are experimenting with 200kW chargers, but those are liquid cooled. So physics says this is nonsense.

>Okay, so second read: the 60 kWh is distracting technobabble, and what they're ACTUALLY doing is "adding 119 miles of range in 15 minutes."

There’s a mistake in the article, in both cases it should be in 5 minutes; should be corrected shortly.

In this example, we’re talking about a 60kWh battery with 238 miles of range (Chevy Bolt). Right now the car charges 90miles in 30 minutes, or 15 miles in 5 minutes because the manufacturer limits the charging rate for the batteries in order to preserve their life. Our technology can enable these Li-ion batteries to charge in 5 min to 50%, or 119 miles. This example assumes that the car goes to a fast charging station that has enough power to charge the vehicle in this time; fast charge infrastructure that’s currently being put up by companies like Ionity (350kW), Electrify America, or Charge Point (500kW capability).

The problem with batteries today is not charging speed; it’s possible to charge any battery quickly, but the faster you charge a battery the faster it will degrade. Our technology is able to decrease the irreversible chemical reactions that happen during charging, so that the same batteries can be charged fast without compromising cycle life.
Why not both? You can do sports betting, just not online.

Note IANAL, but there doesn't seem to be a necessary conflict.
It hurts customers, but the big companies will be fine. HBO and Disney can afford to do this.

They can also put things onto more combined services like Hulu. Amazon selling individual shows and movies also makes it easier.

I'll probably cut Netflix the way things are going. I really only want a few of their original shows. Every time I open the app it feels like a mountain of crappy content to sift through. Amazon too, but it's prime at least.

It varies though. Lately I've been watching lots of Hulu stuff.

I'm fine with spending the money for a service that's worth it. Disney, maybe since I don't have kids. HBO yes. Combined services like Netflix or Hulu, for now yes. CBS no, I'm not getting their streaming service just for star trek. NBC ad supported, absolutely never. I will never use a service that shows ads.
I'm generally sceptical of all studies about coffee for this very reason. There's a lot of bullshit studies around food and supplements funded with people with strongly vested interests in selling more product. It's a real problem. For any given supplement, you can often find multiple studies supporting its use and multiple studies saying it's harmful.

When it comes to coffee specifically, if you listen to the studies about coffee, it's some panacea full of anti-oxidants. However, it's a stimulant, it increases cortisol (stress hormone). Stimulants generally makes the body prioritize immediate energy spending over regeneration/healing. There's been a study claiming that caffeine decreases neurogenesis, which should negatively impact both long-term memory and mood.
Anecdotally, I knew a smoker once who liked tea.
All of that remains to be seen. There are two major causes to this particular outcome.

1. Article 50 is an exceptionally poor piece of legislation if your objective is to deliver a smooth and equitable separation from the Union.

2. The Irish border is very sensitive and prone to violence, and the Irish government has successfully ensured that their concerns addressed in the form that they have been, within the withdrawal agreement.

>Under the Fordist model of mass production and consumption that prevailed for much of the 20th century, industrial capitalism achieved a relatively benign balance among the contending interests of business owners, workers, and consumers.

Capitalism is like the presidency, as soon as the new iteration comes along, everybody looks wistfully back to the previous administration.

>Enlightened executives understood that good pay and decent working conditions would ensure a prosperous middle class eager to buy the goods and services their companies produced.

Should I laugh or cry at this? Where were these enlightened executives when...oh, yeah, they were asking governors to call out the national guard to roll out machine guns on flat cars and shoot striking strikers and burn their family's tents.

>This is not to suggest that our lives are best evaluated with spreadsheets.

If they were spreadsheets, the implication would be that someone human would eventually look at them. But the whole point is to abstract such away from the human.

I forget where I read it, but someone who studies these things, presented that during the middle ages, the so-called trial by ordeal was really about doing two things, [aka the touching, for example, of a hot iron the accused's arm or palm and then bandaging and seeing if it was healing or pussy after a set number of days] wasn't about belief in some supernatural judgement but a way removing both God and man from the need to make the decision. Really, have we gotten so far away from that?

Also, people downplay Foucault, but I think more and more that might merely because of how topical he is, even after all this time. The panopticon has become unclothed from its steel-and-concrete body to be reborn transcendent.

>A less tendentious, more dispassionate tone would make her argument harder for Silicon Valley insiders and sympathizers to dismiss.

Considering where this article is from (and thinking of Wallace Stegner, who was supported by the CIA in regards to the Iowa Writer's Workshop to attack communistic and other such anti-capitalist elements) I can't help but recall a passage in one of Stegner's own books on writing praising the dispassionate, which, along with 'show don't tell' were expressly promulgated to prevent and inculcate writers from undesired politics (and that isn't a joke[1]).

It's not best of 2 - it's a new vote. It supersedes the old one, and when you lose, you don't lose _permanently_ - in any functioning democracy, there's _always_ another vote.
No, not really. The trade off I make for my Tesla is that I spend 0 time at the pump 359 days out of the year and about 45 min at the pump on 6 days when I take a long trips. Though, on those days, we are in the restaurant eating while it is charging, not just sitting there staring at it.
I feel embarrassed playing with this
Currently I would probably be the overall manager for any that I'm involved in, but it could be anyone as long as they have the skills. And the manager is mostly just making sure the whole system keeps working well, while individual monitors (everyone is a monitor) are the ones most directly keeping people on task.

It sounds complicated, but it sort of takes the approach of "everything should be a simple as possible, but no simpler." It just has enough indirectness to make it much less susceptible to "death spirals."

It differs from working for "the man" because you still decide what projects you want to work on and so forth. You are working for yourself, but the system (manager/monitors) is helping you keep on task in ways you have already decided you want to do.

Really, the manager can be considered an agent of your long term interests (i.e. your desire to finish your projects and otherwise get things done), helping you defeat your short term interests (which might be your love of sleeping in, watching TV or playing video games, or whatever it is you do when you procrastinate).

Get in touch if you want to join. I've got a few people but we could use a few more. We are starting a new group since I've sort of spun off the old one

That's certainly a possibility too, but do you think it's one that EU leaders are willing to bet the future of their superstate on?

The UK has a lot going for it. It might not be hunky-dory immediately after leaving, but there's plenty to suggest that the UK will do just fine in the medium to long term.
>another DDG shilling thread on HN

I know this must be a coincidence that so much shilli.. I mean love for DDG is being expressed through those countless posts on major online communities like HN and reddit almost on a daily basis.
as I'm sure you are aware: the texts of the constitution and the Lisbon Treaty are essentially completely identical

the Treaty was a device created to pass the constitution while bypassing the need for referendums

> "The electorate rejected version 1, so we redrafted until it was acceptable" sounds like a pretty good policy to me

well yes, that sounds reasonable, except the electorate were not given the option to reject it a second time, because they might actually do that
The OP is fairly opaque in their acceptance of socialist ideas- perhaps if you disagree enough to comment the very least you could do is provide some substance.
How does a blocking CSPRNG mitigate this attack?

Again, it makes no sense to say that a CSPRNG can start "running low" on entropy.

Here's what djb has to say about this:

Cryptographers are certainly not responsible for this superstitious nonsense. Think about this for a moment: whoever wrote the /dev/random manual page seems to simultaneously believe that

(1) we can't figure out how to deterministically expand one 256-bit /dev/random output into an endless stream of unpredictable keys (this is what we need from urandom), but

(2) we _can_ figure out how to use a single key to safely encrypt many messages (this is what we need from SSL, PGP, etc.).

For a cryptographer this doesn't even pass the laugh test.

(Unless you're talking about the early boot seeding problem that /dev/urandom has on linux, which is a very real problem).

For reference, here's the classic source I think you're referring to: https://www.2uo.de/myths-about-urandom
No, the alternative is not a hard border.

The alternative isnfor the UK and ireland to simply refuse to enforcr a hard border and dare the EU to do it if they are so upset about customs.

What, is the EU going to station troops there, because of trade deals?

Neither Ireland or the UK are interested in enforcing any sort of hard border. It is instead the EU who would become unhappy about broken trade deals.

It's double jeopardy, there is a case for a fresh vote because new facts (May's deal/No Deal) are present. If there are new facts after this vote (for example a new A50 or similar) then there is the case for another one.
I’m also happy to see this move, but I tried to give Apple Maps another chance recently and it’s significantly behind Google. I didn’t even last a day. Especially if you’re trying to find things around your area, which is probably 99% of my usage.

Think about practically any political issue, in the US or elsewhere. "Fair" and "sensible" are rarely anywhere near the primary considerations, are they?

I do think what you suggest would be fair and sensible. I do not believe the voters will see it so reasonably.

I'm from Ireland, where we had something similar happen. People still talk about how the govt will just hold multiple referendums till they get the answer they want on an issue. This is in reference to referendums that happened 10 and 20 years ago. It doesn't matter that these decisions have proven positive for the country - there's still resentment and bitterness, and this was an issue with far less emotional weight than brexit.
So, option 2 (May's deal) is off the table. It's not gonna happen. That was today's vote. Maybe if they stall for another couple months and vote on it again in February or early March it might force the issue, but I doubt it.

Option 4 (second referendum) isn't necessarily on the table, because the UK cannot hold a referendum in the time they have left until the Article 50 deadline in March. They would have to ask the EU for an extension, and there's no guarantee that they'll get one.

Option 3 (pass an Act of Parliament to revoke the Article 50 invocation) is possible, but just like May's deal, I don't think the current Parliament has the votes, and there isn't time for a general election before the deadline. It's also a relatively permanent option--the legal opinion seems to be that a country can revoke Article 50, but they can't just keep invoking and revoking Article 50 over and over again in bad faith, which would seem to preclude any sort of "let's revoke Article 50 and we can just re-invoke it later once we realize what we actually want out of this".

Option 1--No Deal Brexit--is just what is going to automatically happen absent some sort of uncertain intervention. You can't get a second referendum or even a new deal done in time for the Article 50 deadline, you can't revoke Article 50 unless you're actually committing to remaining in the EU, and the existing deal is dead in the water. And, in a certain sense, Option 1 is really just a manifestation of the idea that, in a democracy, the people get the government they deserve.
Why 3 Phase AC Instead of Single Phase?
Dark roasts are easier on the stomach than light roasts as the roasting process reduces the acidity of the resultant brew.
The best thing for Britain would be to just give up, accept that there will be no deal, and spend the remaining time making as many preparations as possible, and piecemeal deals on smaller subjects.
My larger point was about all of the data, not biometrics specifically. Great, your fingerprint never left the device. Everything else does, which is probably way more personal data than just a fingerprint. Your fingerprint really does me no good unless I want to try to frame you for a crime, or want to get into your specific device or other thing that requires biometrics (maybe your work). Your data, I can make use of a lot of if I were criminally inclined. Your credit card numbers, your ssn, your investment accounts, your pics for making false ID's, passwords, or any other data that has ever flowed from your device. You'd have to be pretty sophisticated to be able to make use of someones fingerprints, while basically anyone could use your credit card number. Which is more valuable and larger vector for exploit?
> Brexit happens March 29th

Worth noting this date isn't immovable, though it is the date if nothing changes.
> This strikes me as a hypocritical position. I bet you'd say otherwise if e.g. the will of the people was to remain, but the government decided to exit, because in their estimation it'd be better for Britain.

Your bet would be wrong. If the data showed exit was superior, I'd hope the government went for it. I am entirely comfortable with the government making decisions I don't like; I'm American and am used it it.
It has been suggested that the conference speech where May (chasing a soundbite) said that the UK would not agree to a deal that involved the UK being subject to the ECJ

a) was never shared with her cabinet

b) May didn't realise at the time that this meant, by extension, leaving the Single Market and customs union.

In another era it would be hard to imagine policy being formed by pure accident...but I am beginning to believe that this may be true
At the individual level, it seems a lot like gambling but insurance is not about individuals, it's about the pool.

You and a million other people give State Farm $12 so that in the event of fire or flood affecting a subset of the pool, there's enough money collected to pay out to make claimants whole.

There are no "winners" in the insurance game, only losses. If they have to pay you, you've already lost both the premiums you've already paid as well as what people or property were damaged (gambler's fallacy at work-- your entire neighborhood is smoldering and your family is dying painfully in the burn ward, but here's your insurance check, you winner!).

In your case, even if your apartment does burn down, it's not like you walk away with a windfall (unlike gambling). The adjuster is going to see to it you end up no better off than almost-exactly how you were before the fire. You don't "win" anything, and the meager payout you get can't always replace who or what you lost in the process.

Everybody involved also loses if more peoples' apartments go up in flames than there is money in reserve-- unlike with lotteries, where the payout is distributed equally amongst the claimants.
Hi, I'm one of the founders at GBatteries - sorry, the article had a mistake on publishing; should be 5 minutes for that example.
I think you are misunderstanding. Apple moved Chinese iClouds to Chinese firms. So yes, Chinese iCloud users in China will be under the full surveillance of the government. Which they always have been. But that has no impact on anyone outside of China.

Which just comes to show that those regulations were stupid in the first place. Let's face it, a lot of the wealth they extract is out of big chain hotels, not the "community" and it is actually good that this wealth spread across the board rather than within few hotel chains.

It would be interesting to see a study that examines how different foods impact these when introduced in an average diet.
I'm not sure what your point is then, to be honest. Yes, final products often take a lot of experiments and tuning. But I'm not sure all of that is "inventing" any more than testing software and fixing bugs is "inventing". When is tuning inventing and when is it not?

Everybody on both sides considers the deal a huge compromise and hope that by voting it down, their prefered solution will become viable.

I bet however that if this deal was put to a single ranked vote against all other options, everybody would put it as nr 2 and it would comfortably win.
Good. I will continue drinking French Roast then.
Traditionally it was by browsing around "More Like This" on something you liked, delving down the rabbit hole. For instance I watched a few European captioned shows, and each of those led to more that I have loved (Dark, Borderliner, Bordertown, Hotel Beau Sejour, River, among many others).

Unfortunately many of their interfaces don't support More Like This.

When people claim Tor is a NSA honeypot I have now a default reply: how much faith do you have in the opsec of NSA to run continuously each year with leakers like Snowden and Manning? opsec is hard to do for dedicated security researchers. It is very hard.

The difficulty of OPSEC is why I personally have faith in that the engineers for nuclear reactors are not all undercover foreign spies. Even for the most well funded organizations, doing perfect operational security for decades on end is an almost impossible task. If you also need to produce results, like if the majority Tor relay operators were all secret NSA employees, I see that as close to impossible to do for 16 years.

> assume we’re never totally secure, and act accordingly

That is true. Assume that at any given year NSA could be running the Tor network only to be discovered the next year. I do however doubt that they have that good opsec to have been running for 16 years, through all the leaks, and not be discovered.
In my view, Google is far worse. The company took entire internet and bent it to its advantage. It has monopolized search and delivery of information, and it has monopoly on digital advertising. It’s actually destroying creation of content online, because there is no money left to creators, such as journalists, bloggers, etc. There is a reason why The Guardian has donate button under its articles: it’s one of the many outlets that is struggling because of the unethical black hole called Google.

PS I just came back from CES as a journalist. Tried to get in touch with Google folks, and they are literally behind the walls, unavailable for interviews. It’s all hush hush. Security at Aria suites where they were present. No access whatsoever. Their main booth at LVCC was staffed by temps hired in Las Vegas, whose only job was to jump and shout Hey Google! Truly dystopian.

I voted leave, and would be quite happy with no deal - and the gangsterism of the EU in the negotiations has only stiffened my resolve, and I gather there are plenty of others that feel similarly; this is one of the reasons that some remainers are scared of a second referendum - their is a chance the leave vote might actually increase, and then they'll really be up the spout because any further shenanigans on their part will make it transparently obvious that they don't give a fig about democracy.
