Wouldn't any given approach rapidly lose efficacy as soon as its published?

I would even guess that a paper being published means that, at the point the paper started to be written, its alpha had already decreased to zero. Otherwise the writers of the paper would still be using that approach. That's how it can appear to provide no value even if you extrapolate it back in time.

When you say 40% market share, you mean by count of handsets?

Headcount is not “market”, market is dollars to spend.

When comparing Android and iPhone in the US, you need to compare % of wealth, or of disposable income, or some closer indicator of ‘market’ than head count.

Wallet count, not head count.

> I think their way out of their structural societal problems would be to emphasize the class issue and on decolonializing their governmental and economic framework as soon as possible (which I think part of the protest movement gets, and which isn't against Beijing's interests)...

A bit stronger than just "isn't against Beijing's interests" - this lets them cast it as a win for Beijing against colonial oppressors. Beijing gets a propaganda win, and doesn't lose a face-off against the protesters.

If you're doomed to use Windows, you could use AutoHotKey (if allowed to).

It is FOSS, the scripting language is simple (though not Python, like AutoKey, there is an old Python port of it), and there is a large community with decent documentation and examples available.

AutoHotKey, unfortunately, does not work on Linux, at all. Not even with Wine.

I love that the keybinds on macOS are rather universal.
How so? The same API is trivial to implement using threads and futures. A future, after all, is just a one shot channel or rendezvous point.

Async is just a way to get cooperative threads compiled to a static state machine, trading lower concurrent utilization and throughput for less context switch overhead and lower latency.
I don't see how this proves tangible lock-in. Teens can be brutally arbitrary when it comes to finding ways to exclude others or simply manufacture cliques to exert dominance/influence over the lives of others.
> Ops typo 0.01 as should have been obvious by the calculation.

It's not obvious that you made a typo there. Sure, reducing the cost by one cent is only ~70$ per citizen per year. But it's also only one cent, which is not much of difference, so you wouldn't really have a point there. The price difference to Germany on the other hand is about ten cents (=0.1 EUR).

What's more likely, you got yet another thing wrong after getting so many things wrong, or it was a simple typo?

> Only because they had insufficient production. If you do the optimization extra production vs vs storage. It's more or less X$/kWh for storage, but Y$/kWh / (numbers of hours you would be storing it) for generation.

There are days where production is 1/10th of the requirement, followed by days where production is double that required. Some days, there just isn't enough wind. What's the overcapacity required there? Where exactly does it show up in your earlier calculation of kWh cost?

It's pretty telling that you're ready to point out the demand to production discrepancy for nuclear, but when it comes to wind, which has far higher such discrepancies, you basically ignore it.

> Overcapacity is not inherently a bad thing as long as it's cheaper on net than the other options. It does absolutely destroy more expensive sources of production, but that's how economies are supposed to operate.

Overcapacity destroys electricity infrastructure if it's not manageable anymore. Negative energy prices signify that the grid is nearing its limits.

Also, if you end up needing 5-10x more capacity than base load, is it really still cheaper?
So you end up being spied by both.

Given the history of the industry, that's a good assumption.

Solar and wind are cheap and are getting cheaper, which will make up for a lot of intermittency. If you want a career in energy, look into ways to exploit intermittent cheap sources. There's free money waiting to be picked up if you can do that.

Yes, its better in several ways, but its also worse in several ways. It will take another five years to build a robust ecosystem for servers, and you'll still have to be careful not to import the wrong library or std module and accidentally block your scheduler. Plus the extra noise of .await? everywhere.

I'm not saying it was the wrong decision five years ago, but it definitely was a choice and there could have been a different one. I was responding to someone who said async wasn't an option five years ago.

To capture it was the right thing; is necessary to discarding Rabies. To kill it was a possibility, but not the only, having in mind that there was not humans killed or irreversibly damaged in this case.

Wolves could learn that humans are food, but can learn also that humans are help, and they are grateful for life in this case. The dog and the wolf is the same animal, and is one of the animals that we humans understand best psychologically. When people repeat that a wolf that attacked an human once will became a serial killer, forget that attacks can be triggered for many reasons and that dogs can learn from its mistakes also. There was not kill in this case, so if the wolf learned something is that humans team and are not easy to kill, not the opposite.

It was an elder and disperate animal, probably without a supporting pack and with months, maybe a couple years of life at best. Maybe would had deserved a second opportunity. Could had been a good candidate for a wolf sanctuary and end this days in captivity perfectly.
Show HN: Ed-tech app promoting in class participation
Hi everyone! My two friends and I are sophomores in college and together we have created an EdTech platform that is designed to make large classrooms function like small ones.

Our core feature is allowing students to anonymously ask questions in class through a web-application. These questions can be voted on allowing the teacher to address the most voted or most crucial questions. Check out our website to see what makes us special!

https://about.parstar.co

If you want a demo, send me a message and we will set you up with a teacher account :)

We would love any feedback on the viability of the product, design, and implementation of our current features, and if you have ideas of your own! Thank you!

PS: If you are a student or professor, would you purchase this product? If so, how much would you pay annually?

>Whereas a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08% (the legal limit in most states) might result in a concentration of 208 ppm of ethanol in the breath, a similarly impairing dose of cannabis results in 0.00001 ppm of the drug in breath.

Hi, I'm just curious if you have any reference to help elaborate on the similarities of imparment as it relates to negative impact on a persons abilities (especially those known to have significant impact driving preformance)?

Is there any studied or understood similarity between the level of driving imparment when breath samples measure 208 ppm ethanol vs 0.00001 ppm cannabinoids (you may have mean just THC here but it's not clear to me)?

If there is a similar increase in the likelyhood of a fatal accident when breath measures 208 ppm ethanol vs 0.00001 ppm of the devil's lettuce I'll eat my shoe!

I don't mean to dismiss any potential impact of cannabis consumption on the likelyhood of fatal accidents or injuries but I do believe the impact is often greatly misrepresented when compared to alcohol consumption.

They are real but greatly exaggerated by people using the aforementioned rhetoric and completely surmountable. People who claim they aren't are either trying to push an agenda (usually on authoritarian, nationalistic, and/or warmongering grounds), or not very well-traveled or have very narrow social circles not involving foreigners at all.

Your 12th century stories are interesting and all but do not reflect the reality of the world we currently live in. If you live in a large city and have a medium-to-high salary, which is a reasonable assumption to make given HN's demographics, it is in fact easy to get acquainted to other cultures by traveling often (possibly living abroad), learning other languages and/or befriending (or dating) foreigners. Much easier than used to be a couple centuries ago, in any case. If you do, you will find that deep down beneath the veneer of culture humans are very much the same. I don't have data to back this up, this is only from my mere experience.

Pretending that cultural differences don't exist is harmful and condescending; acting as though they were insurmountable and irreconcilable is downright dangerous and leads to disaster.

> If nothing changes

Something changes, but not necessarily something important for every code path.

Test could be to run optimization A x 1,000 then optimization B x 1,000.

So now I Run the test, edit optimization B, and just run the full test again. Running A again might seem wasteful, but what if something else where to affect A and B, if I just test B then it’s not obvious something other than my code changed. Perhaps as you say the heat sink is failing and my CPU is now down clocking.

The goal is to have a simple test that shows if I am improving things while also isolating that I am measuring what I think I am measuring. That’s not to say I will actually run several long tests repeatedly, but I may re run a test expecting similar results.

Anyway, all of the above has nothing to do with why as want a confidence interval. It’s useful for getting a ballpark feeling of the underlying data.
I don’t listen to music. Let me clarify, if I need to drown something out I put on the same half-dozen Classical music pieces that I can ignore while working, but outside that I do not listen to music.

So, yeah, not just sports fans who treat people like trash if they don’t partake in their hobby.

> The war on drugs has been incredibly damaging in the U.S., and I absolutely do not want the police to have even more tools to wage it.

I absolutely agree. I think having an easy way to test for sobriety will pave the way for legalization. It makes legalization much more palatable politically.

> The need for this device is coming from the police-industrial complex, not society at large.

I have a couple of friends who live in a state with recreational weed. They work on safety critical stuff (think construction). Because of this, they get random drug tested because being impaired can mean deaths. This also means that, even though weed is perfectly legal, they cannot use it because it is impossible for their employer to test sobriety at the job site. They desperately wish a weed breathalyzer was real.

You'll test positive in a drug test weeks after smoking. We need a way to test for sobriety. I don't understand how that can possibly be controversial.
I'd second Techmeme for tech news aggregation; great site and now with a newsletter too.

I actually built a general news aggregation newsletter inspired by Techmeme too (http://enclude.com) which uses ML to group the leading stories of the day together with the highest quality ones highlighted. My hope was to break people out of their filter bubble by exposing them to high quality coverage on the news of the day.

Did it as a daily email because I wanted it to be pushed to me and I wanted it to be limited meaning once you read it you're done. No need to suck up more time.

I've had no time to work on it and its in a state of disrepair but if anyone is interested in teaming up on it let me know.

The activists were explicitly campaigning for Google and all the other tech companies to take the exact same agressive, false positives be damned approach that they did to ISIS. They specifically pointed to the ISIS purge as proof that Google etc could do this and were wickedly refusing to do so. In order to justify their narrative that Google was evil for not doing this, they argued that the only reason not to do this was because Google was worried about it affecting right-wingers - even though in reality we know that it would be much more likely to catch reporters and analysts.

A better analogy would be if campaigners demanded the police be forced to arrest anyone who broke the speed limit with no exemptions, called anyone who opposed them supporters of dangerous speeding, and then were shocked whem most of the emergency services ended up in jail.

I don't think there's even any way around this problem. The activists want anyone who reports on the far right in ways they consider excessively sympathetic to be banned too, and you can't implement "how activists feel" as the policy dictating what's allowed on something the size of YouTube. It just doesn't scale.
From a quick look, the mentioned projects appear to be using a 2-space indent, but with 8 consecutive spaces being replaced by a tab character (with varying consistency - readline seems to do so always, the other examples less so).

> I'm sure they added tabs to give the convenience of being able to adjust the indentation to what I like

I don't think this is the case. It looks like the authors of those projects decided that a tab character always is 8 chars wide, and that one tab vs eight spaces thus only is a question of encoding the same thing. So they're quite far removed from the idea that each indent level should be a tab (which is what most "tab-proponents" argue for).
that's true, but I don't think a scale issue is the heart of the difference. Otherwise, for example, you'd think there would be very little police violence in rural America, but that is not true.

Warren Buffet must have a secret proof of P=NP then, that would explain how he has made billions trading.
I don't see how the argument is much different than for someone having some beers? If they have a few beers daily and blow over is this fair as it likely is not impairing them due to a higher tolerance? How is this different than if a regular weed user were to blow over, but also may have a higher tolerance?

The problem is that you can't really test for these tolerances, especially not in the field. That's why it's usually better to air on the side of caution and set a limit.
