Thank God! Self driving cars are not a solution to the world's problems. Better public transport is. Why can't we have self driving buses that replace trams? The level of AI needed for that is already there. As the population of major cities grows, we can't expect everyone riding around in their own car. Public transport is better for citizens and the environment. We need to be reducing the number of vehicles on the roads and ideally not covering the planet with asphalt altogether. Trams in cities like Amsterdam and the London underground are much more efficient modes of transportation than self driving cars will ever be.
I've tried to keep a Zettleksaten several times now with no real luck. My most recent try was using TiddlyWiki, with each Tiddler being an entry, usually containing a single piece of information. Perhaps it's the way TiddlyWiki is laid out, but I didn't particularly find the filing system to be of any real benefit to me. After my 30 day experiment I had nearly 1,000 Tiddlers and the majority were interlinked. When I would click through the hyperlinks I wouldn't necessarily have any particular 'a-ha' moments that these articles on Zettlekastens typically try to convince you will happen when you use this filing system.

Perhaps I went about it all wrong, but I loved the theory but didn't find the particular application useful. I also found absolutely no examples of a real life Zettelkasten online anywhere. None. I couldn't even compare to see if I was doing it wrong because it seems to be the sort of thing that everyone writes about but no one practices.

More so, I absolutely wouldn't want to use a new third party app for my knowledge repository. Who knows wether or not it'll still be in development or even supported in a year.

I needed to learn Django a few years back and was aware that the play store was actually an awful place for discovering high quality games that were worth my time and that's how this project came to be. It didn't receive much love on reddit and it never took off. Inspired by a similar project posted here a couple of days ago that I just saw (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22063744) I decided to show my project as well and got some feedback.
In addition to using proteins for "all the machinery of life", animal cells use them extensively for purely structural reasons. Plants don't do this, so they need much less protein than animals do.

This is basically just a repeat of my earlier comment, because I don't really understand what you're asking about. I don't see why it's a mystery that an organism which uses a lot of protein needs to produce much more protein than another organism which uses very little protein.
Not to mention, the standalone iTunes Store is still called that, although it is certainly less successful now that Apple Music (the service, not the app) is available. And there is as of yet no plan to move away from the iTunes app on Windows.

It's unclear whether being able to insert a new identifier within an existing list of identifiers is a feature. That might just be a byproduct of needing to put the new card into a related area.

The Zettelkasten.de software appears to be pushing concepts that would have been impossible in Luhmann's system.

Ultimately it seems that all these information systems are just different implementations of nodes, edges, and containers.

Node: Do you want it to support formatted text and/or media? Do you want to be able to visually explore this node's edge relationships to other nodes? (Software often chooses one or the other; both would be nice.)

Edge: Do you want directed edges? Do you want to support Graphs and not just Trees? Do you want your edges to have configurable meaning beyond "this relates to that"?

Containers: Do you want to be able to collect multiple nodes together? Do you want a node to optionally be a container, meaning do you want to allow an edge to link a node to a container? Do you want to support non-hierarchical (Venn) containers, aka tags?

Outliners, Todo list software are almost always directed trees instead of directed graphs. Even with mindmapping / bubble graph software - it's weird how many of them are just undirected trees instead of undirected graphs. Even orgmode is at best a directed tree with tags - it's not a DAG unless you use something like org-brain, which has its own limitations. Wikis usually don't have the visual exploration tools - imagine being able to zoom out of a wiki and just draw edges and containers to put the nodes (articles) in.

Zettelkasten supported (somewhat) formatted text. Not really able to visually explore edge relationships without taking stuff apart. Undirected graph, generic edge meaning. Links probably often one-way and not self-healing (removing a card wouldn't remove links of all linking cards). Supported heirarchical containers, and a card could conceptually link to a container by having "2" link to "2a" which might include 2a1, 2a2, 2a3, etc. Supported tags, sort of, although there wasn't a way to search for all cards that had a particular tag.

Ultimately you find that different thinking styles require different combinations of these concepts, so there isn't a one-size-fits-all, and there isn't "one system" that works like how the brain does, at least not until we have a system that allows us to easily mix these concepts together into a custom implementation.
There are a lot of reasons things cost zero.

I think one is complements[1] (if the price of jelly goes down, peanut butter sales increase)

Apps are complementary to iPhones, so if Apple drives the cost of apps to zero, they sell more iphones.

For Google, if data sales are complementary to services, making the services free makes data sales rise.

Only thing I've noticed though is that free is associated with lots of unintended consequences. Free electric car charging means it's hard to reliably charge your car. Free web services means nobody gets good customer service. Even a modest co-pay leads to significant cost savings for insureres because free visits can easily tie up all health-care resources.

Keto + regular gym works better than anything else to get a man into shape quickly.

If you care about that a lot for some reason, then you should do keto and let the "experts" talk to the hand.

It might be bad for your heart/kidneys/whatever in the long term, but almost everything that's good or fun is harmful in some way and life is a terminal condition.

Also, nothing works for sustained weight loss.
Sure. They invest in electric mobility when it’s the hardest path forward. They aren’t perfect, no corporation is, there is always room to do better (Legacy automakers have had the same racism issues in their facilities; I can point to the Ford stamping plant in Northern Indiana and public documentation of it occurring there). Compared to VW and Dieselgate, they’re saintly. VW should’ve been dissolved for what they did. But Tesla using tax subsidies in Nevada and not meeting Buffalo inventive targets? Absolutely minor issues.

>since a smaller percentage would still prevent a country from printing new currency out of thin air.

When people argue against bitcoin, they say that limiting the supply is a source of deflation and that deflation is risky for a currency.

Money can be used to store value but first of all, it is meant to exchange value. Don't you kill your economy with such a supply-limited currency since your economy cannot grow beyond your ability of acquiring gold?
in NYC terms, LA is maybe 20% manhattan and 200% of the other boroughs, plus a whole lot of long island mixed together. the multi-modal areas are mainly medium density (~3-8 story buildings) so LA walkability is more queens and brooklyn rather than manhattan. the trains connect many of these neighborhoods, but with the great year-round weather, bikes or scooters work well for anything within a few miles.

cities like houston, atlanta, and phoenix have overtaken LA as exemplars of suburban sprawl.

They are _a_ solution, for sure. They just aren't _the_ solution. I'm not sure dense cities are _the_ solution either, especially as more and more work is done remotely. I think humans weren't meant to be cooped up in a tiny concrete box. I like my backyard, and the forest behind my back yard. One size does not fit all, and it's not really feasible to tackle lower density living setups with "public transport", at least not in a large country like US. Moreover, this isn't "either-or" thing. I'd love it if my car could drop me off at the train station and then parked itself at home, then picked me up on my way back.
I don't understand this. Can you expand on it?

Translation: we were caught with our pants down, we're now 10 years behind the leaders in the field, and when the tech actually matures in 10 years, it might undo Volkswagen.
A de-facto monopoly on the use of force is a domain of easily-defended rights within a broader context of anarchy. The two notions are more or less equivalent. Going from that to matters of "legitimacy" or even "authority" is all about taking that state of things as given and building a sensible set of rules and institutions around it.

Understanding Hdbscan and Density-Based Clustering
Lots of good suggestions here but one I’ll add is that maybe you should find a job working for a cause greater than yourself. There are a ton on nonprofits out there that are in desperate need of technical people to help them. My advice if you want to go this route is to stick to orgs that do concrete things for people, like find people housing, or teach English, or provide assistance with addiction, etc. I’ve done some non technical work pro bono and it was some of the most fun working I’ve ever had. You will have to accept a lower salary but if you’re looking for meaning out of work there’s nothing like it.
What would happen to life in the US if the dollar was no longer the global reserve currency?
No, I was being a bit facetious. My counterpoint was simply that as you just stated it's clearly excessive and that you know it is a lot even without additional context and so by extension it's not accurate to say that the number is "meaningless".

> Eating so few carbs even sends many new keto-ers into something called the “keto flu,” a sure sign your body is extremely pissed off at what you’re doing to it.

If you make any drastic dietary change (e.g., going from 300g carbs/day to < 20g), your body will be temporarily upset with you. That doesn't mean the dietary change is bad.

This piece really lacks in substance. First off, there's a huge variety of carbs out there: fiber, sugar, and complex carbohydrates for one, and they're all metabolically different. Second, there's tons of options between Keto and 300g/carbs per day: a low-carb diet.

What's missing from this discussion is the fact that many people eat low-quality carbs: high in sugars, low in fiber, and Keto is a simple method for removing the least nutritionally valuable items from ones diet: soda, chips, anything in a snack food aisle, etc. A more nuanced opinion would be: people need to a eat a different type of carbs: quinoa, or carbs from whole fruits and vegetables, for example. Criticism that keto takes this too far is fair, but the author fails to give a serious alternative to people looking to manage their diets. But it's farfetched to say Keto will kill you.
Parking technology must be full of fascinating stories. It's pretty much everyman against the faceless administration.

I once parked at a smart meter, but it wouldn't take my coins. I put a note on the windshield, went inside for a short bit and came out to a missing note replaced by a parking ticket.

I came to realize that the "smart' meter wasn't registering a car in the spot, so it would just eat the coins. I took a video of this and wrote to the parking authority (rejected), then took the video to the parking authority, then finally gave up and paid it. I think I was entitled to a final hearing but I didn't have the time. It was a little like wrestling a pig.
I think you are being overly critical and paranoid.

Legumes do fine and farmers could use less fertilizer if things like wheat could just grab nitrogen out of the air that is 78% nitrogen.
Jenkins works reasonably well as a job scheduler. The UI is functional if not pretty, it is fairly easy to configure and use even for a large number of jobs, and the plugin ecosystem allows you to extend it in many ways without writing any code.

"Why would the United States be the one to decide if Germany is allowed to build a pipeline to Russia or not?"

Because America provides defence for Germany, and Russia has 1000 nuclear warheads pointed at Germany, the US and others, and they are an antagonising state, actively trying to disrupt the governments in Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Ukraine, etc.

All these issues are quite fundamentally related, so it matters.

That said, I don't think a pipeline will matter that much.

The premise of the article is problematic because there are almost no alternatives for the USD outside the Euro, and possibly the Pound for a few things. The RMB can't effectively be a global currency until it becomes transparent, which means the CCP would have to give up control, which they won't do.

There is really nothing on the horizon - no digital/fintech/blockchain anything that will change the playing field.

If anything - as 5B people on planet earth go from $1/day to $20/day and come into the global economy, the USD will have even greater seigneuriage power.
> Apple music is pretty much exactly the same as iTunes was without a bunch of non-music related features.

Hmm, not really. I took a brief look at the UI during the Catalina beta and concluded that I wanted nothing to do with it. I have spent years learning how to use iTunes well. I'm not about to throw away that investment of time and energy on a new, untested app with a different UI. I'll stick with iTunes to manage my music library. Catalina will have to wait, probably forever.

I think self-driving cars are like fusion reactors, they're perfectly possible on paper and, like, totally 15years away from now.

I'm sure it'll be possible some day, but I'm not positive that it'll be possible in the general case before we reach the Singularity. And when we get there self-driving cars are going to be a small side-effect of this unprecedented revolution.

I can't help to draw a parallel between these threads about self-driving cars where many people are saying that it's basically a done deal and we just need to wait a few years, and that thread I read a few hours ago about the Boing 737 Max re-certification being delayed once more. I know it's a bit of a fallacy to treat HN has a singular entity but when I read the threads about the 737 the consensus in here is that "it's a death trap and I'll never fly one of these planes ever again" but at the same time we're totally optimistic that the industry will have perfected self-driving technology in our lifetimes? The industry has been cutting corners on planes that cost a fortune and didn't manage to make them safe to operate in unobstructed airspace because of a minor sensor dysfunction but they're totally gonna nail the incredibly complex task of operating a 1+ton vehicle at highway speeds in much less controlled environment?

I can totally see an ever-increasing amount of driver assistance in the future. But fully autonomous driving everywhere at all times? I'm really not so sure.
Don’t give your dot-org domain away to a private company
It depends on who you consider "very rich" and where the condos are. In many cities, a modest 1- or 2-bedroom condo can go anywhere from $500K to over $1M. The people who buy them are not extravagantly wealthy, but are part of the executive class that has seen its wages rise rapidly over the past 30 years, while median incomes are comparatively flat.

We do the exact same. Hands down it's the best solution.
Not everyone lives in a major city though. Certainly self-driving cars are less efficient than buses for transport within a denser city, but go a few miles outside the city (at least in the US) and you’ll find yourself far from practical bus range.

The situation may be different in Europe, but I think self-driving cars could be useful for navigating the sprawling American suburbs or less-dense cities. But yes, we shouldn’t attempt to replace perfectly functional and more efficient public transport within cities, only supplement where public transit isn’t (yet) practical.
> which could be done exclusively via the interstate system.

The interstate system already has working self-driving, even without any beacons. Inherently-safe roads like interstate freeways are already almost solved, and you can already buy a Chevrolet today that can self-drive the interstate system 99% of the time.

It's all the dangerous roads that need the help. The ones with bicyclists and pedestrians and parked cars and uncontrolled access and such.
Which proves the point the volkswagen guy was trying to make I guess.

We tried to solve this by putting some placeholder text in each field:

Machine (Iron Maiden)

Near (Manhattan)

Location (John's Bar)

So, "Near" is the geography and "Location" takes a business name.

We'll tweak it. Thanks for your feedback.
AI also has a lot of training data. Humans are highly adaptable but most of us have limited experience with situations like hydroplaning, sudden tire failure, etc.

Also self-driving cars could have better sensors that don't have blind spots, and the multitasking ability to monitor all of them at once.
Ask HN: What qualifies a GitHub trending repository
My GitHub repository gets 700 stars yesterday thanks to the HN post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22081419). However it does not appear in GitHub's overall trending list for the day. Instead it shows under Java category. Are there any other rules for the overall ranking besides stars?

Alpine: A rugged, minimal framework for composing JavaScript behavior in markup
The SkyTrain is a great example of how easily transportation technology infrastructure fails during even slightly unexpected circumstances. The trains were inoperable for multiple times this past week, for hours at a time due to snow storms.

Trains aren't exactly new technology, yet here we are with them still not functioning properly during what was actually a pretty routine snow storm. It doesn't leave me very optimistic for self driving cars, which will be significantly more compliced technology.
If gas supply based on that pipeline is controlled by a single state actor, that's the definition of not being competitive. The question is, why are people willing to prop up a monopolistic supplier in that manner instead of seeking real energy independence. Because Russian gas is cheaper right now? That's penny-wise, pound-foolish. The first puff is always free!
