The additional costs related to cryonics, aerodynamic drag, safety issues, and material embrittlement mean that liquid hydrogen will never be a viable commercial aviation fuel. It seems attractive in theory but ends up being totally impractical when you get into real world details.

The way forward is absolutely going to be battery power for short flights and synthetic liquid hydrocarbons for longer distances.

It is actually quite simple to understand. Don't be arrogant in proposing to "buy" a part of another country, because "they don't know how to take care of it". This is the kind of mindset that is counterproductive for the environmental debate. The Amazon belongs to Brazil, the same way that the Swiss Alps belong to the Swiss people, the oil reserves in Texas belong to the Americans, the plastic filled rivers that go to the ocean belong to China etc. There are no simple solutions - low hanging fruits - to the environmental problem. You could easily argue that we could just forbid the US of extracting oil from Texas to help save the planet. But that doesn't seem reasonable either, does it?

Once again, that doesn't mean Brazil should just burn the whole thing to the ground. But the way this will be accomplished is not through hypocrite, neo-imperialistic BS politics. But rather through economically sound negotiations, international agreements, multilateral commitments, that are advantageous for the parties involved.
When did they close that loophole?
KYC-less and Open API for fiat to crypto conversion
Hi, Alexis, CEO of Bity.com here. We are a Swiss crypto broker since 2014. We have designed and built an open API that can be used to swap crypto for fiat. You can sell your BTC for EUR and we will make a bank transfer to your account. If you open a fiat to crypto order, you will receive instructions on how to send a bank wire to us. Once received, we will send you BTC on your wallet. In order to ensure Swiss AML standards, you will have to sign a message using the private key of the receiving account.

On bity.com, you can make a simple payment using without the need of an account with us. Just follow the steps. This is basically like if you go to a forex shop and change some Euros notes for CHF notes.

For developers, we created some tools to help you integrate the API in your own application. The API was mainly designed to be implemented in wallets. The documentation of the API is available at https://doc.bity.com/exchange/v2.html

On the bity.com frontpage, you can use our API based our reference implementation in JS https://www.npmjs.com/package/@bity/react-exchange-client . This package itself is based on https://www.npmjs.com/package/@bity/api . We hope you like the different tools we provide.

Currently our API support BTC, ETH and CHF, EUR. It supports payments to IBAN accounts only. The limits are currently 5000 CHF per transaction per day, like on Bitcoin ATMs in Switzerland.

KYC-Less? Yes as for small amounts, we don't need to verify your account. We will still need some details like your name and address. This is not for KYC purpose, but our bank will not be able to send a payment to an IBAN without us providing the proper name of the account holder. This data is actually routing data.

In the future? We want to add some more cryptocurrencies and fiat currencies, we want also to add support of non-IBAN accounts. We will also be adding an authentication layer that will allow verified Bity users to use the API without the limitations.

In regards to your edit 1, cost benefit analysis isn't just about a company's bottom line, it's also about the types of architecture and services that are allowed to exist online. Github is not the primary way that PII is leaked online, you're thinking of Pastebin.

Should Pastebin be allowed to exist? Should the Open Source developers behind Wordpress and Ghostery be liable for not scrubbing PII off of websites? The "cost" here isn't really money, it's a social cost. It's regular people's access to services that, on net, make their lives much better.

I'm not worried about Microsoft making less money, I'm worried about damaging one of the best software repository services online and making it less useful to ordinary developers.

In regards to your edit 2, Github is a collection of software repositories. Say you replace all social security numbers with <number-redacted>. If I'm a screen scraper, that doesn't block me -- I can just clone the repository. There is no way that Github can block this unless they delete or replace the numbers in the actual uploaded code, which would obviously be a bad idea.

In regards to your edit 3, are you planning on linking Github repositories to real-life identities? Probably not, since that would be a huge privacy problem, and you're trying to improve privacy.

So what happens when ownership transfers? Or when someone makes an innocuous repo and then later on pushes PII? Note that this is not an abstract problem, we've seen multiple malware attacks on packages, browser extensions, and phone apps that boiled down to, "it looked safe, and then somebody stole the credentials or just decided to push malicious code."

Keybase Proof
I'm a bit confused how to verify my HN account on Keybase? This post was flagged and I am happy to remove it, but is it not necessary to claim our identity by sharing it to our accounts the way we did for other platforms? Seems so complicated to verify, the only reason I am setting it all up, is due to the fact I am learning code and want to connect all my communities so that when I do start sharing more valuable posts, it is easier for friends to follow my accounts.

Why would anyone choose to use hydrogen for storing surplus power when other storage mechanisms are so much more cost effective?
Absolutely terrible. I can see why data science types who use / produce a lot of (typically throwaway) Python code might be enamored with this, but as far as the Python language goes, functorflow will be another nail in its coffin if it ever gains mass-acceptance. It will turn the already messy and inconsistent ecosystem into shambles that no sane person will want to build anything robust on top of.

With the mass migration of Python developers into Go, this is the last thing that Python needs.
Time of life isn't important, duration and ridden distance are. If a bike you have for 20 years only moves you 100 miles (probably less for most bike owners due to low utilizatio ) but a shared scooter can make it ~500 miles in 100 days, the scooter is better.
Have you considered reserving some opcode space for future extensions?

This would make it easier for CBEv2 to add types without changing how a byte is interpreted.
In terms of energy efficiency in powering moving vehicles then yes, hydrogen is as energy efficient as anything else. That's why I complained about it's energy density rather than its efficiency in that context. In terms of grid storage batteries are ~99% efficient and pump storage is 75% efficient.

Exactly. When the international community makes it clearly more (short term) economically advantageous to preserve the Amazon, then we will have a more sustainable solution.

All of the Bill of Rights are individual rights, crafted to address complaints of the states about individual protections, most notably by the Anti-Federalists.

If, as you claim, there was not individual rights in previous drafts, it would be useful if you addressed why in the ratified Amendment they did add it. Because if it’s as you claim, that is pretty solid evidence they wanted the individual rights.

Also, why did the vast majority of the states make it abundantly clear when making their constitutions, modeled on the Federal one?

That testimony is highly misleading. Taking the highest estimates possible, which are based on essentially a conspiracy theory, the number of influenced voters is much lower than 2 million.

He claims they moved 2.5 million votes, not voters. This relies on an assumption of straight ticket voters and about 20 votes per voter. He doesn't correct people when they make the votes/voters mistake.

And even that new number, 100k voters swayed is not really well founded. He makes a couple of overlapping claims, one of them I looked into deeply and found that using his own papers, a reasonable way of expressing it was that 8-10k additional votes for Clinton was a reasonable upper bound, as he claimed, might be affected.

And the number was likely lower (and was only that high because more people identify as democrat than republican in the US).

This isn't true, mocking other cultures is very common and accepted in many parts of the world. In Sweden we have entire books full of jokes on how stupid Norwegians are and they have their own about stupid Swedes. And no, we don't hate each other. Anyhow, we stopped joking about Jews because it attracts racists and extremists, not because joking about groups isn't funny.

Yup. Quite different. Similar to RuJIT but I’m trying quite a different approach to trace recording and using CraneLift, an optimized code generation backend, rather than using tinycc

Light weight JIT only helps to remove the overhead of GCC etc. Not to be able to inline, constant fold etc. Something like the JRuby IR is required for that.
The thing is: being critical of the government is the literal job of journalists - everything other is propaganda. The press is supposed to be part of "checks and balances" - and the way Trump regularly attacks all press that doesn't lick his boots (=everyone except Fox) is worrying.

And on the other side, the government should be impartial and only look at the financial and technological sides when procuring stuff or enforcing regulations. Trump's opposition to everything Bezos is obviously everything but neutral.

I had a job paying that kind of money when I was in high school working on applications for a large internet provider.

The skills came from learning to program starting in the 5th grade.

So first year students don't make that kind of money but as a first year student you might have skills that were honed earlier which allows for that type of job.
> SSNs do have a fixed format but other things could potentially follow the same format.

I even have trouble with this premise, in addition to general agreement with a lot of the other comments in this tree arguing that SSN detection is a red herring.

I agree that displaying SSNs for human consumption has an agreed upon standard format. This doesn't imply that code (and therefore any tests or distributions of data) working with SSNs is handling them as XXX-XX-XXXX.

I've seen plenty of clients storing them without dashes in database tables. I saw one storing them as INTs and handling padding in display logic. I don't know if an SSN can start with a leading 0, but they guarded against that.

Especially given the storage and memory implications of a 32-bit integer vs a 9-11 character string, I see lots of reasons to work with SSNs in code as ints. Should we flag all ints as SSNs? Or maybe we can be "reasonable" and flag any integer in the range 100,000,000-999,999,999 (aka 100-00-0000 to 999-99-9999) as an SSN?

I can trivially generate a list containing all valid SSNs with a simple loop. Should I hesitate to publish code with loops over integers in the range above? That code could easily be used by a malicious hacker to generate the SSN list!
I don’t think the problem we should be focusing on is how to remove salt from water, but what to do with the salt after it has been removed.

That's correct. UEFI firmware will execute a PE image (the same format that Windows executables use) on a FAT32 file system, and can access UEFI services to execute a kernel.

>As someone neither American nor Chinese I feel China's far less likely to come along and bother me when I'm minding my own business than America is.

Well no shit, only one of these two countries has had the capability to project power globally for six decades. To say China hasn't intervened in e.g. Ireland's affairs is to say pretty much nothing about its (un)desirability as a global leader.

Within each country's sphere of influence though, I don't agree with the above statement in any sense though. China is far more active/aggressive (and amoral) in the affairs of its people domestically and in its regional sphere of influence than the US generally is.

Overly litigious firms causing rising legal costs across industries? I don't care if it's hard to solve, the onus for fixing it is on the firms, they figure it out or face penalties. Perhaps in the interests of helping the disenfranchised we could institute something like what real estate has, where banks are required to sell a quota of mortgages in certain areas regardless of the financial viability. Lawyers could be forced to seek out clients they would ordinarily never entertain due to the risk of loss. If would stink for them, but what do I care? That's their problem.

Test results are very easy to fake. The "gold standard" is whether outside groups can run the same tests and reproduce the same results. Peer review doesn't mean much more than "this paper seems interesting and is well-written and properly formatted."
The article doesn't propose we do away with peer review, but rather that lay audiences stop pretending that peer review is a "gold standard" by which the quality of research can be judged. It's "gold standards" the author proposes to eliminate.
> “The real impact comes largely from two areas: using other vehicles to collect and redistribute the scooters; and emissions related to producing the materials and components that go into each scooter.”

I think the first point can be drastically improved using city-wide electric docking for scooters and encouraging users, via pricing, to leave them in such points. Large vehicles will then be used to reshuffle scooters only to compensate for assymetric demand, much less important than charging.

The materials point can be improved by increasing reliability of the platform and mass recycling. Price competition and proper carbon and pollution taxing can optimize this automatically.

>, bearing in mind that editors and peer reviewers aren't paid a dime by the publishers?

The peer reviewers may not be paid but the prestigious academic journals (Nature, Cardiology, etc) do have paid editorial staff. E.g. the initial rejections of papers and rounds of back-&-forth copy-editing with the author are handled by the paid editors and not the unpaid peer reviewers.

That's not to say there are also journals that are run by 100% unpaid volunteers but I'm unaware of any particular Elsevier journals with that labor structure.

(However, this is not an endorsement of Elsevier's high subscription fees.)
