It has an app (and an API) and monitors CO2, humidity, temp, and VOCs. I like it a lot. For me, it mostly serves as a reminder to open the door for a few minutes before bed and let some fresh air in.
How many plants are needed to counter this?
Because the few people who would have their cars crushed vote. They are not a large group, but small groups voting as a block are enough to change an election. If a politician wants to keep her job she will be careful angering groups like this.

Also, in the US the 8th amendment prohibits excessive fines. It is likely that courts will look on crushing a nearly new car as an excessive fine.
UAV Regulation – Needs and Possibilities
I got this model several months back and have been really happy with it: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FYWU2IS/

I got it to monitor CO2 levels in a house without central air. It's pretty amazing how quickly it rises without the air on or a window open. If the air in a room feels "stuffy", it's probably over 1000 ppm.

I get that is part of bitcoin, not the protocol failing, personal irresponsibility etc etc.

But I’m seeing less and less a justification for the deliberate lack of security in the bitcoin world. So a hack like this happens. Regardless of how it happened or who’s to blame, why continue to tolerate bitcoin? What is it giving you that’s worth the enormous mountain of precaution that you need to take to secure yourself?

For starters, the whole voting machines concept is a essentially a ploy to exploit wide-spread respect for computer technologies in society to sell hardware, and software. It reduces observability compared to pieces of paper, and doesn't solve any real problems.

How the hell has no one said insurance yet?! I guess this mostly applies to the US, but I wouldn't want to work at a place with bad insurance.

Otherwise

- fun/intelligent people to work with

- vacation, both in length and ability to take it whenever I want (I have 20 days right now)

- ability to take an hour here or there to get a haircut/deal with bureaucracy/etc. I guess wfh is included in this

-office being in a convenient place close to public transportation with lots of lunch options nearby

Stuff I don't have that I'd like:

-natural light/a view

-summer hours would be amazing
uh, insurance?
Yes, it's a helping profession. The goal is to form models of mind to be used to help people feel/live better. Not to understand the brain.

That's why you can have multitudes of wildly conflicting theories and schools of psychotherapy, where most of them work to achieve the goal of wellbeing, but none of which achieve understanding of how human brain works. (of course, some pretend they do, and try to portray this to the patients - as if the ideology the school of therpay holds is the truth about the human brain)

There's nice discussion of this in the book "Health & Suffering in America by R. T. Fancher"
This is a different topic. This is a waste due to the production not meeting demand. The waste you talk about, is included in the demand usually.
Internet Thearts and Malware Analysis
You could get all the features of Rust by just taking features from an ML-family language and adding some low level memory manipulation capabilities, plus the theoretical work on lifetimes and all. It wouldn't "look like C" but it would be the same things.

You could get to any modern dynamic optionally typed language by just starting from Common Lisp, dropping the s-expressions and macros, and replacing default datatypes with something saner and easier to learn/teach.

There's a huuuuge bunch of intermediate steps that could've just been skipped. Maybe C isn't one of them, it was inevitable - of you wanted a portable higher assembler usable on 80s computers you could've only invented something like C. But Go, D, Julia etc. only repackaged existing knowledge...
Since we're all being pedantic here... stock prices are based on the value in which investors place bids on the equity value per share of the company. Investors typically value that number on the present value of expected future profits, but like all complex systems, it's never that simple.

pbreit is also potentially correct - software companies have the capability of producing massive windfall cashflows (and therefore profits) and hence why the market cap is so high.

What isn't being talked about is that a path to profitability isn't clear. All of us armchair financial analysts don't have any insight into:

- What are the unit economics of a car ride and what elasticity of pricing is there in the market?

- Is the fundamental thesis of future value all based on self-driving cars?

- Once particular markets mature, what operating expenses can effectively be "turned off"? Has the company already proven this in their mature markets?

Personally I think uber and lyft are doomed as companies and will go the way of Groupon, but deriving that analysis by reading quarterly financial statements on net income is a fool's errand.

PS - And yes the parent commenter clearly lacks basic public market equity acumen as $775M was a quarterly revenue...smh
I get what you're trying to say, but I don't think we should turn off industry experts because of their past.
>low load = low exhaust temp = catalytic exhaust processing doesn't work properly

It's not 1970 anymore. Those cats are right behind the exhaust manifold for a reason and that reason isn't to save money on piping.
My point was that the same is probably the case with many among these 4,000.
How does air recirculation with increasing co2 compare to having to breath/smell car exhaust, cigarette smoke, etc through vents? I started doing recirculation as my default years ago due to that.

If you have a well paying job getting a work visa is by all accounts not difficult. If you’re legally resident for twelve years you can naturalise, or seven years if you’re married to an Indian citizen.

Most developed countries will let anyone with the requisite funds buy property, with no particular restrictions on foreigners. It’s certainly the case in the EU, Japan, the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

Calibre can integrate with Goodreads if you use the plugin in Calibre for Goodreads. This way you can synchronize your shelves and progress. There's an obvious downside to Goodreads: your privacy. Having all my privacy settings as high as possible, I do like it, but a data leak would expose my personal data.
How else do you give a sufficient deterrent if the fine doesn’t hurt and make you reconsider future actions?

A couple hundred dollar fine is not a deterrent to me speeding in my car, but multiple thousands of dollars would be.

Hey Adrian, I've recently been looking into this area and stumbled upon your site only several weeks ago. I was wondering if musical instruments would fit into the "art" investment category as well, or is it a separate asset class? Stradivarius/Cremona violins, Steinway pianos, etc. Would rare musical instruments yield similar returns on average?

Twitter Algorithm Change Now Promoting Conservative Tweets?
Today I woke up and my business Twitter account, which has never tweeted or followed anything even remotely political was featuring 3 tweets at the very top of my timelines from highly partisan, conservative republican accounts.

Ask HN: Tag-based personal document management systems?
Dear HN,

I'd like to ask if anyone has recommendations for a document management system for private usage.

My use-case is as such:

- we have a capable multi function print/scanner scanning to a Synology NAS

- we have a plethora of docs which don't categorize neatly

- we would like to be able to "tag" documents as "insurance", "health", "husband", "wife", "kid1", "germany", "private" rather than be forced to pick one category for them.

I don't really mind what the solution looks like, but something like macOS file tags are too "fragile" and likely to be overwritten by a careless copy from my terminal, or not survive over a SMB network mount, or similar.

My first instinct was to write something, moreso when looking around and seeing that all document management systems I found seemed to be geared towards big businesses, and were horribly complicated, expensive and cumbersome with nasty UIs.

For our volume (a few thousand docs each year, tops) a FUSE filesystem which supported extended attributes and maintained a CAS database of file hash to "tag" and exposed the tags as directories would work beautifully I expect, but I don't want to reinvent a wheel if I can avoid it.

Any recommendations HN?

The simple truth is that society doesn't need computerized voting technologies to have fair elections.

destruction for rare Earth metals and shipping everything all over the world is not insignificant.

Actually, comparing to the lifetime emmisions of a regular vehicle it is.

For example a container ship full of hybrids from Japan arriving in Europe or the US is responsible for emissions in the order of what a full tank of gas per each of those transported vehicles would create.

Meanwhile your typical hybrid over its lifetime saves more than its weight in gasoline - thrice that in case of taxis.

I blame Top Gear for over-dramatizing how much shipping and production matter. Most of the environmental impact always did and will come from the usage of a vehicle.

Although that's nice I don't believe it has everything I want from an export.

Many services who provide an export don't consider that one might actually use the information without the app again.

So it would be great to not only be able to save some loose documents but also to keep relations etc. intact.

I know that this is not easy to achieve but it would be awesome and give you real freedom.

I think you have the wrong end of the stick. Plenty of companies do that, sure, but Microsoft has always been a very, very aggressive mass-market player. Their software is used in enterprise, sure, but it’s by almost every enterprise, not just isolated niches.

They’re competitive on prices too (although it’s tough when many of your direct competitors are free). Compare MS Office with something like Maya or AutoCAD, say.
Why should people from less populous countries get special treatment? Treat everyone equally, set a quota for work visas every year and auction them all. If you make it ten years, paying tax the whole time you can get a Greek card. People are individuals, not representatives of their groups.
You don't need fresh on all the time, but for long trips I will switch to fresh for at least five minutes each hour. You just want to cycle the air in the cabin for less re-breathed air.
Far too many to be plausible. You'd need to live in a terrarium. Which would certainly be nice, but it's a lot of maintenance...

There are plants that do pretty well at air filtering, though not as well as a HEPA filter... but for CO2, they won't absorb more than they can use. This means you need dozens, and also that you'd need grow lights to keep them photosynthesizing as fast as possible.

I've seen an office that was built like that, and it was actually a very nice experience. The owner enjoys spending as hour gardening each evening, though, which is important.
Maybe you didn't notice, but the domain this tutorial is hosted on is for the iOS app "beorg", which allows you to access and edit .org files via iCloud/Dropbox/WebDAV/Box (though Box requires an in-app purchase).
I’m sure many do come from customers. But the idea that exchanges never buy bitcoin from each other to maintain their stocks seems quite a fantastical claim to me.
It's in an offline wallet, right? And backed-up somehow incase the hardware wallet dies. And that backup made with an known-clean, freshly-installed, offline computer to avoid malware stealing it when you're making the backup.
The problem that I see is that the child had no choice in the matter. Imagine if you turned 21 and were kicked out of the country that you grew up in and had to move to a country that you haven't been to since you were a baby. I don't really know what a reasonable solution to this might look like.
+1 for flexibility.

Imo a flexible work schedule (wfh/remote work is included here) more than pays for itself in mental/physical health, lower stress levels, and the ability to focus when needed.

I would turn down a 15-20% pay increase if it meant losing my ability to have a flexible schedule.
Very good metaphor and I see what you’re saying. And I’m convinced you are correct now. The only thing I’d add is people would still have to weigh the indirect costs of the Chinese wine which might have an emotional cost from supporting economic injustice or lax environmental laws. But the data is pretty clear that nearly zero consumers care about this and would be better off with their $5 (Chinese) chuck.

Tencent replaces PUBG with a Chinese government-friendly alternative
That is a natural progression. We could make a model T with only safety and emissions changes for pretty, lets say $5000 to give it a number. However if you buy a 7 year old car for $5000 it will have electric start, a heater (not to mention AC), a radio, likely heated seats and other luxury cars. So you are likely to not buy the base model new car. Thus all new cars need to provide luxury items, any luxury that turns out to be popular with customers quickly gets added to the base model (unless it is expensive even at scale)

This is just not true.
I wonder if this might be due to the fact that most fighters will train against right-handed fighters so left-handed fighters might be less predictable and thus have a higher win-rate.

This will cause them to be more successful, and more successful fighters are more likely to stay in the sport and thus this leads to them becoming overrepresented.

If everybody stays with PayPal at this point and just accepts these practices, then I guess it won't be long before the other payment processors follow the market leader.

Also times have changed a bit. It's not like eBay is still the biggest market on the web and auto filling forms with your credit card information has gotten a lot easier thanks to modern browsers.
Little bit of a preface; I dislike bitcoin because of scaling reasons and reasons due to power consumption per transaction. So don’t assume I’m a supporter.

That said, how is this different from having physical cash in a bank, or a digital ledger that pushes money elsewhere and is only caught much later.

The answer is only that it’s an immature global system, there’s no (current) list of black market coins, which is entirely possible to create- meaning hacked bitcoins would not re-enter circulation and the value diminishes wildly.

The effect you’re seeing currently is due to an immature currency market which has never been held to the same standard as our fiat currency market. It also hasn’t been battle tested over hundreds of years. Of course it is deficient.

I’m not excusing them, I wish that people with little to no security chops would not be involved in financial matters, but a lot of these companies sprung up out of hobby projects many years ago and one could argue that the industry they’re in has changed around them. It’s not as big a deal if someone steals 4000 bitcoins if they’re worth 20c each.
Not nearly enough power or impact for that. The masses of miners who could roll back will not care for their plight and even billions stolen is worth less to the community and miners than making sure all transactions go through. For example; imagine what else is on that block chain they'd have to also kill? How many times exchanges been hacked and no re-dos? How could bitcoin keep it's status as super-solid if they allowed such things and it's only that status which gives it value? Totally untenable for bitcoin.

I take the libertarian non-aggression principle-based point of view on many things, especially immigration. Basically, there's a group of people (the government), that's threatening violence on me and my family because of where I was born. This is my home. The constant threat of violence that's associated with temporary statuses like the H-1B really really suck. Yes, I chose to make this my home. You have no right to threaten violence on me and my family, when I've done absolutely nothing morally wrong. C.f. https://www.zeroaggressionproject.org/
800ppm is a fairly typical value for indoor CO2 and not really that shocking.

Fun fact: We've known since ~1850[1] that we should probably stay below 1000ppm for indoors, but we based the measure back then on body odor :) (It still bugs me that oddly cognitive impairment starts at the same point a body-odor measure from the 1800s put CO2 levels, and I keep wondering if we're seeing confirmation bias in action)

In general, where you end up is based on airflow. To get below 800ppm, you'll probably need to increase outside ventilation to >10dm^3/s.

I picked up a CO2 monitor a while ago myself, and the biggest surprise was having it on in the morning in our bedroom with the doors closed. It was easily over 1000ppm IIRC.

Ever since then I've made sure to set my AC system to run the "house fan" for 15 minutes or so every hour at night just to circulate the air in the house, and while the numbers went down significantly, anecdotally I swear that I wake up easier in the mornings now.

Another surprising place that really high CO2 concentrations show up? The inside of full face motorcycle helmets when at a stop. IIRC they quickly reach as high as 20,000ppm! There is also some speculation that full-face motorcycle helmets that stay closed in an accident are more dangerous in some ways, as the high CO2 concentrations in the helmet can be really dangerous to an unconscious person's brain function.
