But I think there actually are many similarities between China and US. China doesn't allow some Western companies to do business in their country, but US is also banning some Chinese and Russian companies without even a court decision, just because some guy from Trump's administration have decided so. And if we compare the volume of international sanctions imposed by both countries, China will not be a winner here.

That is where some of the most challenging images come from... especially with white 4pt type against highly patterned backgrounds. However, frankly with a jeweler's loupe even on the most difficult images, I can't tell the difference flickering between compressed and uncompressed at 4:1. If you think about it, H264 is 100:1 compression (PNG 20:1) so it's not surprising that human eye visibility (especially at 10bit HDR and 8k) is excellent.

For a quantitative estimate, PSNR is ~40dB even on fairly extreme images, which means less that those +/-1 code for 8bit sRGB. I'd expect even better from 10bit and natural images to be >45dB.

You could have added value to the ebook by way of adding annotations.

I'm not a fan of this recently-popular form of argument: "we're not banning X: we're just adding friction, so your arguments predicated on banning X are invalid". Support for a thing is continuous, not discrete. It ranges from full endorsement on one end of the spectrum to a total unrelenting ban on the other. The arguments against banning X also apply to adding friction to X, just to a lesser extent depending on how much friction we're talking about. If it didn't, you could defacto ban things by making them arbitratily difficult.

I still think there's a data sovereignty argument against the move we're discussing on this thread. That it's just friction makes the move less bad, but I think it's still bad.

I attempted to use SMS Gate (a fork) to do backups from the stock messaging app to the SD card. It didn't work.

> I did hear of some folks using their own IMAP server ...

I ended up syncing to a Dovecot IMAP server on my local Linux desktop, which seemed to work just fine. I was apprehensive about the complexity of setting an IMAP server up, but that turned out to be misguided - Dovecot was incredibly simple to get up and running. I assume SMSBackup+ would work just as well as SMS Gate did here.

I eventually ended up moving from the stock messaging app to QKSMS (GPLv3, Github, Google Play, F-Droid) because it has built in backup functionality.

Ok. I actually drive an electric bus at a u.s. college, we have an all electric fleet of 20 electric buses. Sure it isnt a massive amount, but I believe the opposite about maintenance. They are much simpler to work on, and the batteries actually have a longer life span than the batteries in tesla and such, though I will agree that range is much worse than diesel buses. There are more initial setup costs involved, but in the long run electric will be the way to go.

> ...huge battleship guns ... were slow to fire ...

I was curious about how fast battleships could actually fire, so I googled around and found a couple stats.

On an Iowa class battleship:

- Armed with nine 16"/50 caliber Mark 7 guns [1]

- Each 16" gun is quoted as having a firing rate of 2 rounds per minute [2]

- Each shell weighed between 1900lbs / 865kg and 2700lbs / 1225kg pounds [3]

So math says 2 rounds/minute * 9 guns is 18 shells/minute. That is 34_200 lbs (18 * 1900) and 48_200 lbs (18 * 2700) of ordinance per minute. I would not want to be on the receiving end of that!

EDIT: fixed some numbers I goofed after @CapricornNoble was kind enough to point them out. Thanks!

People need to be made aware that "purchasing" something with DRM means that you aren't purchasing the item, you're only purchasing a revokable license to access the item though software controlled by the vendor.

In a way, it's good that we're actually seeing the predicted issues with DRM (losing books, etc.). Hopefully it will help raise awareness.

Most of the visible contrail seems to come from engine emissions, though you can also see condensation effects purely from the dynamic pressure changes around the plane. Those are more obvious with fighter jets and acrobatic planes though, where they are generating more severe aerodynamic effects rather than sustained level flight.

Assuming the visible contrail correlates well with the part causing climate effects, an electric ducted fan might be a big improvement, by removing the combustion emissions. I don't know if some other fuel-burning engine could be combined with a ducted fan and sufficient emission controls to also serve this purpose.
Orthodox here, there's a couple distinctions. Unlike our friends the Catholics, we maintain that physical bodies and the physical world are good and natural. Eating delicious food can bring you closer to God, exercise can bring you closer to God, admiration of nature, etc.

There is a separate concept of "living apart from the world". My understanding of this is not "go live in the woods" bur rather "don't be complacent". It's striving for the best possible value system regardless of how people choose to act around you. Society can (and should!) be improved.

I also imagine there is the other side where the third party has crap data security. End users figure that their data is safe with Google and may not consider that there is a third party with their various levels of security.

I can see Google copping a lot of heat should Company X have a data leak and that data was originally gathered from a users Google data store, whether it is justified or not.
That appears to be a phrase made up by the writer of the Ars Technica article, rather than a quote. It's probably not worth getting outraged over the exact phrasing, it's just sloppy writing from a third party.

Loud in the South, certainly. That's how I was raised, and it's used as a respectful, though somewhat common/generic, term of address. I don't know that I or many Americans would be comfortable with the social implications of referring to some one as "sir" out of respect the way you describe it; it implies superiority rather than respect.
Or you can flip your assumptions and run 10X faster... everywhere. It was a tough investment, but we went GPU-first via Apache Arrow & Nvidia RAPIDS. (In this case, I'd look at RAPIDS / NVStrings before this.)
Presumably less secure is not the issue. Buried in the fine print of many of these tools that save you money or do other things with your account is explicit permission to share / distribute / use your data in lots of ways. It's explicitly not secure.

These scam apps trade off being inside the protected platforms, so users expand their trust assuming (incorrectly) that a third party app will treat their data well.

The article is Joan Robinson, 'Economics is a serious subject: the apologia of an economist to the mathematician, the scientist and the plain man' (1932). It's footnote 1 in Coase's 'The nature of the firm,' which I was prompted to read in more depth by a recent HN comment, so it's not an especially obscure document! The university library I spoke to does do inter-library loans, but I need to find a local library that will take one out for me. I haven't got around to doing that since I moved states 18 months ago, and I'm no longer affiliated with a local university. It's a pain, but something I probably would have resolved sooner if there weren't so many books digitised in the various proprietary databases!
Wow, this is a really great article. My favorite pieces of advice are the last four ones:

> 17. Write, teach, and share what you’re learning

I totally agree. Getting into blogging, and being a part of a blogging community can be a great way to connect with people in your field, and help others along the way.

> 18. Don’t take funding

Yes!

> 19. Take care of yourself first

This is too often under-emphasized.

> 20. Knowing when to let go

Something that we all probably struggle with.
Ah, yes, figure out which ux the user needs before they tell you who they are. Please, let me know if your genie is for rent. Otherwise, see other comments for how the detection ux with a default password entry caused issues for us.
1) Maybe a solution could be to give power users an escape hatch with big red warnings that doing so voids any support or terms of service guarantees, sort of like how Apple allows non-signed apps, but not be default.

2) Even with a mechanism like the above, part of the issue with communication/social data like Gmail is that you can’t control your own privacy perimeter, because the other party could inadvertently leak your data through another app they connect
Ask HN: Is it worth it to list your car on Getaround or Turo?
What I care about is the long term true of cost ownership.
I don’t care about the short term benefits.

Things to account for that I can think of:

- taxes you pay on revenues from Turo / Getaround

- Mileage your car takes (which means you can sell it for less and you need to pay for maintenance)

- Fees these services take (~40%)

- Looks like the main factor for car depreciation is time and not mileage (which is in favor of those sharing services).
One huge benefit of (robust) type inference is type holes. That is the ability to leave parts of your code unwritten and have the compiler infer what the type of those unwritten parts should be, and in more advanced cases, fill in the gap with candidate code.

The latter is something that isn't in any languages I would consider production-ready (although it seems tantalizingly close), but the former is already quite useful depending on how much type inference your language is capable of. If paired with the ability to search for code by type, it makes exploring APIs extremely friendly. Even without that ability, I've found the ability for the compiler to tell me what type belongs in a given empty chunk of code to be extraordinarily helpful for those times that I'm programming in a top-down fashion (scaffolding first, then fill in the concrete implementation).

> Three weeks after getting the top job, Ms. Su, a Taiwan-born New Yorker, jetted to Beijing to meet officials at China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

I assume the message is: ZOMG, foreigners are giving away US technology!
You gotta compartmentalize.

My meatspace identity uses a desktop that hits the Internet directly. It displays no interest in technical matters. Just banking, cards, shopping, general news, etc. It never accesses HN, or any of the other sites that Mirimir uses. Or that any of my other personas use.

Mirimir uses a VM, on a different host machine, and hits the Internet through three VPNs, in a nested chain. Some other personas use different VMs on the same host, connecting through different nested VPN chains. Some are Whonix instances, connecting via Tor, and reaching Tor through nested VPN chains.

So basically, each persona that I want isolated uses a different host machine and/or VM, a different browser, and a different IP address.

Google would be wise to do their due diligence with routing. They have street view, routes should be scouted and scoured for areas that might be tricky to negotiate for a self driving car. It would be worth it, I imagine after a while there won't be any majorly unique routes so the effort would scale down. Plus you'd have the best quality routing data on the market.

Disclaimer: I'm not a designer at all, and I have no design sense whatsoever. HN looks like something I'd design, except there would be no splash of color at the top.

For me, the most striking change in iOS 7 was that the icons lost all of their character. I put together some before and after examples:

https://i.imgur.com/hg8s50I.png

The design was... sterilized. I specifically remember that when I updated my iPad and saw the new Safari icon, I said, out loud, "what the fuck is that?"

Again, I don't know anything about usability or- well, I don't even know enough to have the vocabulary to describe what I don't know about design. But I thought the new icons were really dumb.
There are definitely very good and thought-provoking television shows today. I would definitely be in favour of students watching them in class too.

But that doesn't mean that books and other creative media made more than 40 years ago are useless. For one thing, books written in the past give us insight into our history (I hope we can both agree that learning about our history is a good thing). For another, some of the greatest thinkers are already dead -- the only way we can learn from them is by reading what they wrote. Our society is built on the foundations of our ancestors, and it's ridiculous to say that their thoughts have no worth. For one thing, history has a tendency to repeat itself -- so maybe learning a bit more about our history would help avoid future problems.
