A local groundwater management agency in Ventura County, CA recently started a pilot program that established a groundwater market among farmers in the county.

Following the early 2010s drought in California, laws were enacted to cap and eventually reduce the amount of groundwater that can be extracted. Recent advancements in water usage tracking infrastructure, combined with the law has led to a natural environment to create a cap and trade system.

Interestingly, farmers view water usage as a trade secret, and so the pilot marketplace is using block-chain to provide an anonymous marketplace. Groundwater management in California (and I assume across the nation) is regulated by a patchwork of different local government agencies and laws, but there is an awesome opportunity to provide a unified software based marketplace to establish a groundwater commodity market.

A market also facilities conservation as farmers now have incentive to lower their water usage and sell excess water on the market. A big challenge however is transportation of water across vast distances.

I don't think it's that. Some people are legitimately obnoxious and believe they can dominate you because they spend more time lifting weights, and they have really obnoxious philosophies and pet theories that justify their own behavior. They're the natural enemy of shier people, and as a result those types can be distrustful.
Seems short sided even from a bottom line perspective. For one, CERN is bound to employ plenty of experts that will familiarize themselves with the product and move on to other projects later and choose MSFT products. Additionally, CERN is such a high profile project that simply asking them to advertise the fact that they are "powered by Microsoft" would pay them more than any licensing fees.

But maybe they thought they could charge 10x the fees AND still get all the benefits.
It’s happening everywhere and one of the reasons is probably population. Earth was never crowded as it’s today.
>, but if anything these are just entry points into analog synthesis.

I just saw several demos of this Pocket Operator on Youtube and what I saw was more of a sampler than an analog synthesizer.

Samplers are more about sound clips manipulation. Analog synths would be more about waveform generators, sine/sawtooth/square, oscillators, envelopes, etc.

E.g. Pocket Operators makes it easy to record some percussive sounds. It auto-analyzes the input for transients and chops them up at boundaries. It instantly maps multiple pitch-shifted versions of those sounds to the buttons. Users then have a quick DIY drum machine that triggers custom sounds.

If these devices can also do traditional analog synthesis, none the Youtubers I browsed demonstrated that capability.

EDIT based on replies: Yes, I now see that searching youtube for specific devices such as "PO-14 Sub" or "PO-16 factory" will show the demos that manipulate synth sounds. Searching only for generic "pocket operator" gets you the sampler demos.
It's also a bad feature for bandwidth-constrained or low-power devices since it requires sending the whole topic string with every message. That's why MQTT-SN, and now MQTT 5, allow registering a topic string -> smaller ID mapping and then using the ID for messages at the expense of persistent state on both ends.
Before the advent of modern shipping it's not terribly surprising. Asparagus was once know as 'the food of kings' and has a limited growing period and requires a fairly large amount of land compared to what it produces. There's only really 2 harvests of asparagus possible one in early spring and the other in fall so absent modern refrigeration asparagus in the middle of winter would have been grown in a greenhouse increasing it's cost.

It's easy to forget these days where we're able to get most fruits and vegetables any time of year we please thanks to shipping letting us get summer produce in winter from the opposite hemisphere but produce has definite seasons and it used to be very hard and expensive to get produce out of season.
Moody’s Buys Climate Data Firm, Signaling New Scrutiny of Climate Risks
One approach is to use four sample points which lets us represent four different levels of coverage: 0, 1⁄3, 2⁄3, and 1:

Four samples actually gives you five levels depending on how many points are covered: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4. So these correspond to quarters, not thirds.
This reads like a promo piece for Teenage Engineering. The credit for the mini-synth revolution really belongs to Tatsuya Takahashi, the designer of Korg's groundbreaking Volca instruments. His Monotron synth was launched nearly five years before Teenage Engineering launched the Pocket Operator series. The Monotron is pocket-sized, fully analog, is musically useful and is supplied with a complete schematic; this last feature sparked a renaissance of circuit-bending and modding.

I think this is the exact right way of looking at it. 4xx/5xx are for layers that are below the business logic (like "is the web server able to route this path", not "did the application successfully validate the user's input data and allow them to continue on to the next step in a process").

It can get a little fuzzy for 401 and 403 errors, though; those seem to be returned by APIs pretty often. Not entirely sure how I feel about that, but I think those are a bit more sensible.

> My point, as I’ve stated earlier, is that there is a conflict of interest here. It's not that much of a stretch to think that the U.S government would like to delegitimize the CCP to further their own geopolitical and strategic interests.

And it's also not a stretch to suggest that a government that defines separatism and religion as two of it's three defined evils is committing cultural genocide on a large (millions+) section of it's country that doesn't conform to the rest of it's society.

> I expect you as a HN reader (but perhaps not the average layperson) to not view news reported in the mass media as infallible, but to scrutinize everything that is said with a high degree of criticality.

There is only so much time in the day, and today I'll spend most of mine scrutinizing the layout of virtual networking devices. In order to receive news and information about topics I am less knowledgeable about I unfortunately must entrust others with the credibility to perform this scrutiny on my behalf. The ones I entrust to do this may fail, but that doesn't mean that I'd necessarily do better than them.

Perhaps my original statement doesn't withstand scrutiny when put into certain context but I don't think it's hyperbole in this discussion.

There's plenty of serious health issues constantly competing for a small pool of smart medical peoples attention and with a limited capital.

Genetic tailoring still currently involves a high amount of specialist attention per individual and there is plenty of research and money going into it. I've heard multiple doctors tell me it's the future of medicine.

Whether it could use more attention and capital is certainly a good question.
1) Elon is a nerd. The media loves to do stories on darling nerds transforming the world and then tearing them down with classic American anti-intellectualism and clickbait links at every stage of the Hype Cycle.

2) Oil and big auto hate them. A small company made the technological offerings of car companies and are threatening oil to become obsolete? And the car companies have been whining about CAFE and the inability to make EVs for three decades now.

3) Stock speculators and shorters producing volatility and doing bets.

4) Americans are attached to cars, so all the "car guys" hate Teslas. ESPECIALLY since they smoke ICEs off the line. Go read jalopnik, Tesla is pursuing their two precious bastions of masculinity: the roar of an engine, and whether or not you actually drive a car yourself

Homes here in the Netherlands rarely have airco and many friends have no airco at work either. (Luckily I have at work but not at home) Today for the first time measured we had temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius.

Last summer we had a drought that made all grass fields look yellow and many trees losing branches and bark. They say with changing climate the current types of trees won’t survive. We are again low on water as farmers cannot use water from the canals.

Reading about SD cards reminds me of this idea I had. Is it possible at the moment to have a wifi or 4/5g transmitter small enough to fit into a chip within (or instead to bind to equivalent connectors of) sd cards to automatically upload sd card contents to a hub or router that can sync with the cloud? So that you can effectively have an unlimited capacity sd card? Anyone working on this?

I realized long ago so many of my long-term life decisions were based on thinkpieces in The Atlantic, The New York Times, or a similar publication.

Choosing experiences over stuff, eating only "real food" and cutting out sugar, getting more involved in community events and not being such a shut in -- all traced back to thinkpieces.
I have been using Anki for the past six months for French, more-or-less following the Fluent Forever method.

I found that the method worked really well for the basic vocabulary (pictures for easily identifiable objects), cloze deletion for basic grammar and other common words. However, I have recently noticed two related problems as my deck and knowledge of the language grows is size (I have about 5000 unique cards at the moment) surrounding words with similar meanings:

- I often find that in the cloze deletion cards I insert a word that correctly completes the phrase but is not the term used on the card

- I have found that with some words I know that the word belongs in a phrase but I don't know the words specific meaning. An example using English: if the phrase was "I bit the apple" I would know that "bit" is somehow related to eating, but wouldn't remember how it differs from "eat", "chew", ect.

I'm curious if you are anyone else has had similar problems. Particularly in regards to the second problem, as it is seems to have the biggest downside. I am thinking of breaking the gold rule of the FF method and just putting definitions on the cards to make sure I actually know exactly what a word means.
Went through the SE corner of Oregon last weekend, camping on Steens mountain. It's amazingly and wonderfully empty, which isn't how I'd like to live, but is great to experience. Had lunch in Fields, Oregon (no, didn't get the milkshake, as I am not a milkshake guy).
At the risk of missing the big picture, I think comments on their intelligence correlates to discrimination due to intellectual disabilities in a way race and gender would not.

Then the villainization of anyone who disagreed with this approach as people who simply think it’s okay to harass women only increased backlash.

Is it recency bias on my part to say it feels like this tactic is showing up in more places than it deserves to? The last American election cycle was terrifying to watch for precisely what you just described happening all across Twitter and elsewhere on social media.

I can tell you definitively that even if there is a simulation, it doesn't treat the brain specially and differently from any other matter in the (in our) universe. the brain has no special properties. it is not a radio into a higher level universe. it's just stuff, same as all the other stuff. no shenanigans, I guarantee it for you.

The end result of AI systems that make decisions that cannot be explained would be to instantiate these automated practices into de facto law.

At some point, if a decision process is widely adopted yet cannot explain itself, law becomes arbitrary. Ends justify means - ipso de facto. Power becomes unaccountable.

That's the best reason I know to demand accountability (and explicibility) from any system or authority, AI or not.

No, those places are quite socialized, they're not far off from nationalizing private real estate when it suites them.

Citation needed. I don't know of many 90- to 100- year old people collecting pensions.

There are some professions, mainly police/military, that permit retirement after 20 years of service. Those pensions are managed to expect longer payout periods albeit using the actuarial stats of their members which are not the same as the general population.

A conspiracy theorist can say reasonable things, however this exact thing is a circular argument: conspiracy exists but our proof doesn't look convincing exactly because it is conspiracy.

There are no generalizations in my comment which you implied.
"Pocket operator" is just the size of the device they're making. There are lots of them from samplers (like you're seeing) to little synthesizers: https://teenage.engineering/products/po#features

Regardless, these are driving the concept of small, packagable audio devices, which eventually leads to modular synthesizers.
Odd, on my desktop view, there is no option to change the method. It's SMS or nothing.
Fair enough. But the bar is rather low when it comes to commercial farming.

Now a jump to permaculture principles (which also eschews monocultures) would be the kind of innovation that would lay longer before the next “innovation” was required.

Tesla is singularly responsible for the destruction of workers rights? OK. If you want real worker rights bugbears, look at Uber and Lyft.

Their quality issues may exist, but they aren't that bad. They're not. Every person you talk to has lemon stories about every car in existence.

Tesla does not have a monopoly on irrational exuberance in what a company will accomplish. You are commenting on ground zero of internet startups. Tesla actually built cars.

CO2 credit sales are part of a market that actually forces companies to pay for CO2. There is nothing bad about that.

Massive overvaluation: Again, you are commenting on ground zero of wannabe unicorn internet startups. Uber's app can be replicated by a team of 10 in a month. Tesla has a competitive advantage in battery tech, vertical integration, and design, and could displace Toyota in a couple decades.

Fans are insufferable: ok, true.

I've no idea what the GP commentor is talking about. I don't know of many families that use messaging apps. Yeah, texts, a bit, but most of the families around me don't do this. Heck, most of the kids don't have cell phones until they get into HS, and event then, the phones are banned during the school day.
100%. I can guarantee that every single one of those weak guys decided to "get in shape" at some point in their lives, went to the gym for a week, then quit because "it's too hard". The followed up with a mountain of excuses about why they're too busy or they'd rather play piano or whatever other explanation is necessary for "I'm actively choosing to look like shit".

The funny thing is, physical appearance is the primary way we judge other people. Like Arnold said, "A well built physique is a status symbol. It reflects you worked hard for it, no money can buy it. You cannot borrow it, you cannot inherit it, you cannot steal it. You cannot hold onto it without constant work. It shows discipline, it shows self respect, it shows patience, work ethic and passion. That is why I do what I do."
I don't think there is a disagreement here. I agree with your long post conveying it's all fate in the end. I can still write about what I think while observing everything and knowing fate has made my impression. I just like the discussion because who knows if today will be the day to read something thought provoking around it.

Anyways, I'm not trying to convince anyone something is thrilling. I just find it thrilling and even while knowing I don't have free will in any regard of my life.

I think nobody can be right in the traditional sense (traditionally assuming free will exists and one person can be right). My views are just of how I wish society functioned because I think I would prefer to live in a society that cared about the misfortunate by fate. Maybe that's how the multiverse would work for people moving (after death) to a universe more suited for how they turned out. Still wouldn't bring free will but would be cool.

Anyway I'm not trying to cherry pick. I just thought I would express myself best with what I pulled out to write more. Thanks very much for the discussion!
