In some regions, sure!

But in places like the US Midwest and northeast, no. We need massive and I mean massive conversions to clean energy that aren't even on the radar yet for heating. Natural gas does not count as clean in a carbon constrained world. It's -20C out there for many days in a row.

Not to mention heating greenhouses, hospitals, commercial spaces, etc.

Plus, convincing everyone to bundle up may be harder than switching to clean carbon free energy like nukes or wind+mega-storage
Thanks, that seems to confirm my suspicion that CPM will have the lowest cost - provided we have well known inputs and well tracked output.

We've been carefully building out our LTV tracking so we can capture true revenue from all sources attributed back to individual campaigns, so I feel confident we're ready to measure.

Our top three networks are facebook, google, and applvoin, which all have very different methods of targeting, but this helps clarify how a strategy would work.

I want to adjust my fear to the real level of risk/uncertainty; in this case, that's still above zero, but the anecdote above helps drop it down.
That's a good question. If they were asking "Did you see a person who looked like (description of JustSomeNobody)?" That seems like it's clearly the vendor's information, because it's asking about his memory of what he did or didn't see. It doesn't seem right that your memories should belong to someone else.

On the other hand, if he happened to have a photographic memory and remembered your exact credit card number, expiration date and CCV, we would all say that that is not his information to give out however he wishes.

So, yeah. I don't know what point I'm trying to make except maybe introducing the idea of data "ownership" just creates more problems than it solves.
Hmmm it's almost as if the land of the free has some sort of social credit score program?

On the surface this isn’t shocking at all. And yet, when was the last time anyone really tried to compete with Facebook? Sure, they’re in the ad business like everyone else, but no one really competes with them on product.

Yet whenever we hear about Facebook culture, it’s about move fast and break things. Is that really a culture equipped for coping with regulatory compliance? In my experience, the answer is no.

So I’m really left scratching my head on this one.
I wouldn't agree that's a similar requirement to the one I laid out; a critical aspect of what I said is the ability to archive, and, at least officially, you can't archive a theater presentation. Unofficially, of course, we (for suitable values of "we") have a taxonomy of terms for the precise type of theater-based archiving one can do. But I'd like to make the archive requirement publicly-available.
According to the article ‘Zuckerberg deserves a hearing’. He didn’t show when called before the UK parliament, and if he doesn’t appear when it suits him, does he deserve a hearing?

> This is a shockingly unamerican sentiment to hear

So feeling fear when surrounded by 3 armed guards is "unamerican"?

My questions are why were there 3 in the first place, and why were they armed? Surely that kind of "show of force" could only be justified in response to a credible threat?

I'm not sure the path to electric vehicles is that long. It follows the same pattern as the article.

Roughly now buying an EV makes financial sense due to incentives. In a couple of years it'll have a lower TCO even without incentives, then it'll be cheaper up front with continued savings, then it'll be cheaper to ditch an otherwise working ICE as even taking a loss on its resale will be better than continuing to pay more for fuel and maintenance.

And at each step the increase in manufacturing level drives prices down further.

Fairly certain similar applies to hearing too, some countries are already mandating that new houses are not connected to the gas grid for example.
This is a great technique; I learned it in David Gries' Intro to CS at Cornell, but a lot of my classmates didn't think so, which elevated this to meme status at Cornell: https://quotes.cs.cornell.edu/quote/1369/
For analogy, what if the top 3 gaming publications ing the 90s (when Apple was struggling) refused to review Apple-only games, in part because Apple didn't buy ads in their magazines.

(Edit: The analogy is that they're not making it so you can't buy the games or the platform, but excluding it from the really credible praise.)

Is that evil? Is that legitimately within the scope of antitrust?

Edit: I actually don't know. I was going to agree with you until I thought of that comparison.
I'll never forget how I was strip searched coming back from Costa Rica. They went through every photo in my digital camera, ripped open all of my packaged food items, made little snide remarks to me, and ultimately made me miss my connecting flight. The whole time I was fully cooperative.

Only explanation I have for the level of examination is maybe because I was a young minority returning from a random latin american country solo(?)
The key point you bring up here makes me wonder what will happen in the future of society. Take this issue of liberty vs authoritarianism for the sake of security. We, as a society, are not going to come to any mutually agreeable decision on this topic. To see why simply try to go reductio ad absurdum on the topic. Imagine a device was built that could automatically track each and every person with complete and absolute identifiable detail at every single moment. There are people, probably quite a lot, that would fully support government deployment of such a device. It might not eliminate crime, but it would mean that 100% of criminals, whom the state chooses to pursue, would be able to be punished. Of course should the government become a bad actor it also means they could oppress whomever they wanted with absolutely ruthless efficiency and targeting.

People who trust governments to secure such a device and do not think modern governments can ever repeat something such as Nazi Germany will vehemently support the system and nothing short of the system. They'd see it as ushering in something approaching utopia. Those who do believe history has a habit of repeating itself will vehemently oppose the system in any way, shape, or form. They'd, in turn, see it as the first steps towards an unimaginable dystopia. And there are going to be big chunks of people on both sides. How are you supposed to solve this in a democracy? And as ever more issues become not only politicized but sharply polarized, this is going to be a recurring problem.

There seems to be no conceivable answer to this problem (the fundamental one, not necessarily just liberty vs security) outside of Balkanization. The founding fathers would have appealed to the conflict leading to a deadlock and thus no progress in either direction, but this itself cedes the case for one side or the other on topics like this. It's not a question of doing A or doing B. In such cases, deadlock would leave the question unanswered and thus neither side would get what they want. In this case it's a question of doing A or not doing A. And so deadlock is itself an answer to that question, giving one side exactly what they want.
I touch on some basic (but well done AFAIK) auth stuff over here:

https://lobotuerto.com/blog/building-a-json-api-in-elixir-wi...

I think the main reason it's not in the docs it's because in the end it's just an implementation detail. Have a look at how simple it is to protect some routes that needs the user to be logged in.
Of course, they are entirely within their right to just take your phone, and then never give it back. You "officially" have legal recourse to get it back, but in reality, you plain won't.

If you _really_ care about this, travel without your phone, and travel with a minimal-account wiped laptop that runs, has some apps, and has zero work or personal data on it. Stick some steam games on it at most. Then get a burner phone once you're in the country you need to be in, let people you need to talk to know what your new temporary number is, and restore your data from a secure source that you can access using your laptop. Then when you leave, "burn" the phone and properly wipe your laptop again.
I knew that the authors name as my late grandfather was fond of saying 'rang a bell'. This guy started in newspapers at 17 and ended up editing the Saturday Evening Post.

The Post at the time was the largest selling and most influential magazine in America. They actually sold the magazine like a newspaper complete with paperboys. My father was one of those delivery boys in Detroit during the depression.

That's really cool to know, thank you.

I'm not in a position to find out right now or for the next several hours, so, open question to the house: do Netflix's in-house movies have those numbers already?
Venture as an asset class sucks.

Returns also tend to be inversely correlated to fund size and fund reputation. Top 5 or 10 firms generate virtually all the returns in the asset class.
> You can inject people with testosterone and estrogen and observe behavioral changes (as people attest to in this very thread)

If sex-linked behavioral changes at explainable by hormone differences and can reproduced by in vivo manipulation of hormone levels, that supports rather than refutes the idea that intrinsic brain differences are not responsible for the differences.

In any case, though, the article does not support the upthread claims of either a view that there are no sex differences in mentality or that there are no physically-based differences in behavior, and all are social, because it addresses not behavior or mentality but brains.
People will hate when you try to go against the flow, but it's a good path. We've recently cut pretty much all video games and television, and our family is better for it.

Protip: Some people will feel judged by you simply because you don't do certain things. If you want to avoid awkward conversations, you might not want to bring up that you don't have a TV. It's stupid but some people get seriously weird over it.
Digital Privacy at the U.S. Border: Protecting the Data on Your Devices (2017)
You can't compete with Facebook unless you commit the same invasive acts that allowed them to collect their data in the first place. Nobody is going to willing enter their phone-number, address, all their friends, all their contacts, all their meta data, at world-scale, anytime soon to some new start-up.
That’s a very harsh dismissal and I don’t think it holds up well because it ignores the difficulty of switching. You can switch CDNs quickly, without needing any user actions, whereas it’s considerably more work to switch cloud providers and even harder to get users to switch their usage.
> Or that China _is_ a surveillance state

It is, as is the US. Or most other developed nations, if we're going to be honest with ourselves.

> Does the U.S. not hold the most patents?

The US patent system has a very large number of patents (maybe the largest number in the world), but how many are held by US citizens and companies? Foreign entities are allowed to register US patents (and many do) in order to be able to sue US entities.

In fact, this effect is significant enough that the Australian Government's Law Reform Commission noted in a 1990 report[1] that the existence of a patent system may actually have a net negative effect to the economy because of this effect.

Who says we're not "schizophrenic" now? Our common parlance attributes agency to blind chaotic forces in the universe; our visual systems are quasi-hallucinogenic in their mechanisms (making all sorts of "optical illusion" mistakes); and while we like to think we're singular, holistically consistent beings, our actual behavior is often better described by nested (and competitive) sub-agent neuron clusters: https://meltingasphalt.com/neurons-gone-wild/

It's worth considering that Jaynes' argument has as much to do with language as religion, positing a tightly coupled relationship between (spoken) language and subjective consciousness/qualia. "Gods" were in part an explanatory mechanism for the same phenomena of consciousness and (feeling of) decision-making that we experience today, which we now explain via "Self" narratives. In other words: rainbows, and our experience of them, did not fundamentally change, only our social stories about rainbows (God's Covenant -> Light Refraction).

Assuming one accepts a relationship between consciousness and language, it's also worth considering that language is a socially viral phenomenon, and so it makes sense that we might externalize consciousness explanations into a social space, via the common knowledge of our community's tribal gods, or a shared animist experience of nature. The innovation of the Self is a relatively recent one in this model; and even then, each of us frequently make the mistake of modeling other Selves after our own Self (the only god the secular world honors), resulting in biases like the Curse of Knowledge.

At any rate, Jaynes' argument is quite detailed and thorough, and difficult to make concisely. I found "Origins of Consciousness" to be a thought-provoking read, but I'm still not sure I'm willing to stake a strong claim For or Against the model.
"Lithium-ion has significantly higher cycle life than lead acid in deep discharge applications. The
disparity is further increased as ambient temperatures increase. The cycle life of each chemistry can
be increased by limiting the depth of discharge (DoD), discharge rate, and temperature, but lead acid
is generally much more sensitive to each of these factors."

"When determining what capacity of battery to use for a system, a critical consideration for lead acid is
how long the system will take to discharge. The shorter the discharge period, the less capacity is
available from the lead acid battery."

That’s an accurate description, and, as someone tempted to go for humor, I think HN’s constraints are valuable for me.

I’ll often have a knee-jerk post that’s either funny, caustic, or redundant. I find things go best here (with some ups and downs) when I focus on providing genuine info or insight that others aren’t likely to already possess.

Just use lodash for that.

Your example would become:

I'm not disagreeing with any of this. But I think there's additional perspective to be had.

I see a lot of conversation about early Internet and the health of the Internet. I think some of this is just because those of us who remember it, are starting to ache over it a bit for all kinds of reasons, one of which is because that's what old people do.

Today I got lunch with my 17 year old nephew. I asked him about what he does on the Internet and if he misses the "old Internet". First off, he has no context of what the old Internet is. He doesn't really care nor seem to feel like he's missing out. Second, he showed me what he mainly does. Basically it was a handful of group chats via Signal and WhatsApp, a whole bunch of web comic websites, and some YouTube series.

I felt like a dad of a teenager for a fleeting moment and my generalized conclusion was that he's consuming a ton of independently developed creative content. I was actually pretty proud of what the Internet looks like for him.

I asked him about curation and the ability to hold on to his favourites. How does he ensure that something he loves isn't gone in 10 years? This concept really didn't seem to matter to him. His perspective seemed to be that there's so many webcomics and the "memes" and conversations he has with his friends are ever evolving, there's not really a lot of time to care about the old stuff. Made me wonder if attachment to nostalgia may be fleeting as well.

Is this the full story? Of course not. But it made me feel a bit better about things and a bit more skeptical of the doomsaying I often hear and sometimes take part in.

I've heard that book recommended a lot earlier, in various other good books or articles. Would like to read it. But not the original one in RATFOR, rather the second version in Pascal. Just checked on Amazon, there is a copy, but not in Pascal.

I think Matrix still does. Lots of smaller/newer firms as well (i.e. Craft Ventures).
The Rust compiler does this. No out-of-bounds accesses and therefore no buffer overflows. So yes it has been generalized.
Drum Patterns from Latent Space
I agree with you.

To me the biggest issue with advocating for data ownership is that it puts the burden of privacy back on the user. I.e., I shouldn't have to micromanage my data-foot-print and give or deny explicit access. That just opens the doors for a barrage of requests levied against the average Joe user with lots of room for "accidental" approvals (similar to the "this site uses cookies" popups).

Privacy should not be a chore that the user is tasked with performing every day. Privacy should be implicit and extensive.

>Because Government privacy concerns don't really have anything to do with data ownership.

Could you expand on this? I want to agree here too, but I don't think I fully understand what you're getting at.
KSQL: What's New in 5.2
Perl is still available if you want to use it.

Naming arguments “a” and “b” is widely considered bad practice either way, of course it’s not more informative.
In that case, let's talk about a current privacy problem and see if the model OP is advocating helps.

One of the ways that Facebook fills out relationship graphs is by reading contacts. Both I and my brother own the information that we're related to each other. Both I and my brother own my phone number (I didn't make him sign a confidentiality agreement when I gave it to him), so outside of the bounds of common courtesy, I can't force him not to tell anyone else.

So if my brother decides to let Facebook scan his phone contacts, he's just giving away information that he owns, which is his right to do.

But if information ownership under this model doesn't provide any real protection to stop one of Facebook's primary data gathering techniques, then what's the value in it at all? What privacy infringement would this protect me from? If a store that I walk into could still claim ownership of the fact that I walked in and track my movements everywhere with facial recognition, and a website can still log that I visited and track where my mouse moves, and if they have co-ownership of that information, then they can still sell it to whomever they want.

A big issue with information ownership is that in order to make it logically scale, it has to be neutered to the point where it's no longer useful.

Registered Investment Advisor. Legal entity that allows you to manage other people's money.

VCs, hedge funds and wealth management tend to be RIAs. Private Equity I'm unsure. Wealth managers are all either RIAs, brokers, or banks.

The article is unclear. A16Z are forgoing a certain exception that VCs have, I'm not sure what their legal structure was beforehand.

You can look up all RIAs on the SEC website https://adviserinfo.sec.gov/
Advertising, at it's best, informs consumers of choice - if this were the type of advertising we saw in the modern world that's fine - posting a DIY tool shed build and including links to specific tools that might be useful is helpful, and I think that's why we've seen sponsored content come into prominence, briefly be useful, and then get swarmed by BS.

We need to find some way, societally, to limit how much of this wave'o'advertising we're exposed to - to place a value on time and remove the "cold call" style of advertising pitches. I was optimistic about ad-words when it first rolled out because, given the context awareness and unobtrusiveness, I thought it might kill advertising dead - and it sort of did. We no longer have the "Shoot the pirate" flash banner ads, nor the popups for v1agr4 since that over the top attention grab ended up being pushed out by more relevant product advertising... but we're backsliding again.

If you're an advertiser and I raise my hand and say "I'm looking for a power drill" or even "I'm looking for something to do on saturday" then feel free to make your case - but this unsolicited BS is like the bane that once was door-to-door salesmen, it's actually a hilariously parallel - your time is being taken, something is invading your private space and you're being interrupted from doing something you'd like to do to listen to someone shill.
This will be very good for the code. Attacking it will only make it stronger.
“On the other hand, we’ve got very recent case law from the Supreme Court of Canada, starting in about 2010, that says you’ve got an intense amount of privacy in your electronic devices."

If he went all the way up to the supreme court instead of taking the plea deal, the story might have gone the other way.

Well if CBSA continues with this practice I hope it ends up with a lawsuit and gets shut down by the supreme court.
Now Instagram users have to learn how to optimize posting time and how to cheat algofeed by adding unrelated hashtags and even tuning color scheme in photos. I regularly hear about such things from casual users with 50 subscribers, not SMM workers. It's much harder than knowing <b> and <img> tags.

With heavy videoization of social media, they also have to learn video montage and lighting.

Since Oscars has a marketing value, is entrenched among established producers in the field, and is perceived by the public to be open to what is considered to be a "movie", arbitrary changes to rules can certainly be seen as anti competitive practices - which many believe the government should care about.

While there certainly is other industries that would need similar attention, it's kind of low hanging fruit if you change you rules in a way that right now only prohibits a single company from entering. Especially when it's one many of the incumbents said colloquially, "Seems to have some beef with."
