The gigafactory produces 20GWh of batteries per year [0], or 0.002GWh/hour. So, its more like a megafactory by your system.

I think it was just meant to mean "a factory which produces 1-999 GWh of batteries per year" - not per hour.

edit: this newer 2019 source suggests a 35GWh/year as a "theoretical output". Still orders of magnitude away from a GWh/h. https://electrek.co/2019/04/14/tesla-gigafactory-1-battery-c...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't that would mean it would need to be appealed? Why would the defendant appeal when the court ruled in their favor?
Just yesterday I tried to type "Network and sharing center". Apparently it does not exist in the index which is quite annoying, I have to click through the control panel (after accidentally ending up on a web search). Windows 10 is an odd beast with multiple generations of UIs all nestled away.
This. Isn't a divider useless if the HVAC system is recirculating and pumping virus-laden air everywhere? This has already been shown to cause some outbreaks.
I don't think we trust the state to "teach people lessons" (ok we're not talking about public schools here). We trust the state to deter people from causing physical harm to others. For example, the united states constitution (not that that's followed anymore) doesn't explicitly charter the government to "teach people lessons" it charters the government to act in the interest of the "general welfare".

Because western states have happened to have chosen over the centuries to protect the general welfare by justifying its methods as "teaching people lessons" is neither explicitly permitted in any charter so far as I know (admittedly a small subset) nor necessarily desirable. I think it's not a n unfair argument that over the few centuries of modern history you can point to several incidents, sampled across many different nation-states, where particularly disgusting injustice has been promulgated under the cover of "teaching lessons", as if the general cover of "greater good" weren't bad enough.

As CS lewis quipped, "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

It's disingenuous to conflate a private entities exercising their rights to "refuse a problematic client service" with infringement of the constitutionally protected free speech by a governmental entity.
For a while I dove into this topic heavily and it seemed that most of the resources I’ve found were good and surprisingly similar as the sample size got larger. Initially I was pretty skeptical about some being less authentic but that mattered less as I’ve gone on. Sorry for avoiding the question, but I’d say doing some research will reveal its own path that will be somewhat personal and different than others’.

It makes a lot of hard physics problems (Maxwell's equations, relativity theory, quantum mechanics) much more understandable and (I'm told) unifies them in a common framework. I think it will help your average developer become comfortable with these areas of physics.

To make non-App-store apps annoyingly unusable, so the App store will sell more apps, instead of people downloading in other ways?

Just like Apple cripples the Safari browser and PWA apps.

Long term, maybe Apple wants to be able to remote-forbid apps if Apple is developing their own competing app?

Whilst most developers working at Apple understands this, and don't like it? Maybe the developers even feel happy about people here at HN being disappointed, and think that "now the business people here at Apple notice that this causes disappointment" ?

I wonder how accurate an app could get with movement detection if you lie down with your phone on your chest. Probably not very, but might be useful.
After this, you can be sure the developer interest will go down even further

Music Sequencer Written in FoxPro 2.6 (Windows)
I did do some longer sessions (30-60m) in the beginning, which may have helped it to "click", but -- YMMV -- for me, ~10m is the threshold where it can suffice for the day. Increasingly in recent months I'm able to effectively meditate while doing other things, and it's more a deliberate letting go and and complete immersion in the present than a focus of attention on breathing... but starting my day w zazen is essential.
Just from my own experience, I wonder if a lot of the benefit of such things is simply from habitually paying attention to your body, whether your lifting technique, or your breathing.
It's an interesting idea. We'll consider it. Thanks!
AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner Practice Questions – AWS Security Fundamentals
This is about after that.

> Judge Coughenour ruled that the police were within their rights to look at the lock screen at the time of Sam’s arrest, as there are circumstances in which a search can be made at the time of an arrest without a warrant.

> Investigators conducting a search later, however, need a warrant, said the judge.
It's a bit of a chicken and egg situation. For years I had poor posture (typical nerd-neck) to the point where standing up straight I couldn't actually breathe properly so I slouched around everywhere instead. My chest and neck were too tight to fully inhale otherwise. I had to fix both at the same time.
Security of Bubblewrap-type sandbox vs. privilege separation between Unix users
Almost every user of a computer nowadays runs untrusted code (does
not have to be known-malicious, e.g. some complex closed-source tool)
and processes untrusted data in complicated formats; but doing that
securely seems to be a complicated topic, especially with the
hardware vulnerabilities that were greatly publicized in the last
couple of years. I presume security researchers would use more
reliable isolation methods (a virtual machine or a separate physical
machine) than the ones I want to discuss here: Linux seccomp-bpf.
(OpenBSD folk are welcome to give their insight, but I have almost no
experience with OpenBSD so I am not talking about it.)

Seccomp is obviously great for applications like Chromium, where a
multi-process sandboxed architecture was part of its design presumably from the
beginning. But what about the other, more common, usage of seccomp;
running untrusted code or processing untrusted data with various
sandboxing programs like Flatpak/Bubblewrap, Snap, Systemd-nspawn,
Docker or Firejail? Is that secure? Does it make sense to have it in
addition to or instead of established Unix methods of privilege
separation between users? Why?

To expand on the "established Unix methods", I am thinking about
executing a process with an unused UID, GID, etc.; while stripping
capabilities in the case of modern Linux. The administrator or
"power-user" would accomplish this by writing C code or using
utilities like setpriv or setuidgid. (Although a separate setuid-root
utility may be needed to provide the functionality in a rate-limited
way to less privileged users.)

I am assuming in the question that in both cases the new technologies
like Namespaces and Cgroups may also be used.

Possibly related HN comments (basically, a possible issue arising when sandboxing complex utilities is requiring syscalls that make the sandbox useless):

Worldwide poverty has not been increasing.

The rest of those statements are pretty clearly facts. A statement like this is very a matter of statistical interpretation. A lot of the claims of decreasing world poverty stem from a decrease in those said to make "pennies per day" however, such a group could also be describes as "those outside the money economy" and thus an increase in assigned earnings to this group represent decreased poverty is debatable.

See: Bill Gates says poverty is decreasing. He couldn’t be more wrong

I always thought WebAssembly had a lot of potential, however, in practice it doesn't seem to have turned out that way.

I remember the first Unity demos appearing on these orange pages at least 4 or 5 years ago, and promptly blowing me away. But, after an eternity in JavaScript years, I still dont know what the killer app is, technically or business wise. (Side note - I encourage people to prove me wrong, in fact I'd love to be! Thats whats so engaging about discussions here. I'd love to see examples of what WebAssembly makes possible that wouldn't exist without it.)
Youtube doesn't care whether they actually have the rights or not, that's for the courts to decide. You can submit copyright claims on whatever on Youtube, they don't traverse the complex web of agreements and assignments to see if you actually hold copyright to the thing you're claiming.

iOS actually isn’t much better here. Occasionally I’ll see something on Apple News that I want to share with friends who don’t use Apple News. I just want a web link. But despite Safari being literally the only icon I’ve ever tapped on to share something from Apple News, I have to hit the “...” and then scroll to find Safari buried in the list. I have to scroll past Strava despite (as far as I’m aware) Strava not even being able to open the link and me never having used it to open the link.
A few years ago, oh hang on, more than a few years ago, Jobs was still alive - I was training at a muay thai gym south of bangkok and I met the executive chef on Larry Ellison's yacht.
He was training to get fit, because a wealthy couple had told him if he could lose weight they'd set him up with a cooking show.
Jobs often borrowed Larry's yacht, and he had galley stocked with everything Jobs wanted, except that Jobs wanted fresh fish from a particular Hawaiian fishing company, fresh every day.
So there was a young, beautiful woman who flew to meet them every day that Jobs was on board, wherever they were in the world, who would charm her way through customs with a big dead fish packed in ice.

Guess he liked fish.

The original quote from Franklin was about liberty not freedom. A suttle but vitally important distinction as freedom requires security where liberty does not. If you sacrifice freedom for security you still at least have security, as in a despotism, but if you sacrifice security for freedom you have neither. Conversely if you sacrifice liberty for security you have less liberty without any increase in security just resulting in a net loss.

Google prioritizes time to first draw. Do they prioritize time before the page is completely loaded? I don’t know the answer but if they’re going to stay in the business of ranking pages on speed, they should be putting that as a higher priority for their rankings. Too many times I’m reading the content and yet the browser is still loading... something. What? I have no idea.
+1 to dead lifts... one of my favorite exercises. They are great, especially for most of us that stay in front of the computer most of the day, they are awesome and getting your body form back into the right shape.

Just be careful with form, and learn the technique well before increasing the weights, as they can be intense for your back.

I also did meditation on and off for years, without much benefit. Then I went to a 10-day silent meditation course (the free Goenka one). On the third day it clicked. Now meditation is extremely useful for me. My life has improved a lot since then. I meditate about 4-5 one-hour sessions per month.

> Suicide is not such a rare cause of death.

Yes it is. There are about 3 million deaths in the US every year. Suicides account for 1 to 2% of all deaths. Meaning suicides are a very rare cause of death.

> Suicide was the tenth leading cause of death overall in the United States, claiming the lives of over 47,000 people.

Tenth? And I'm guessing there is a significant drop after the first few causes of deaths. Right?

> There were more than twice as many suicides (47,173) in the United States as there were homicides (19,510).

This doesn't imply that suicides is a prevalent cause of death. It implies that homicides are even a rarer cause of death.
We've been using Twisted at work for over a decade. We are finally completing our upgrade to python3 after much effort and pain. That means we are starting to look into the native async functions in python3.

What I realized the other day is that Twisted treats everything like an asyncio Task. That seems to make most of the more confusing gotchas just disappear. I suppose it's a matter of what you're used to though.
Have you tried counting backwards from a big number like 5000? I had a guided meditation once that used this method. The longer number and slightly higher cognitive load is apparently useful to distract your brain from distracting thoughts and imagery. Just enough work to keep it busy but relaxed. I lost track a lot, they said just pick the last number you remember without trying too hard and continue.
"reflow" or "layout jank" are ones I've seen a fair number of times (not sure if "jank" was intended as "stuttering" or "unreliable", but both work if you go for the feeling)
An example: I decided to build a simple temperature monitor to see what I could do about energy use. Simply put, it's the easiest way to tell when the heating system is kicking in and for how long when you're dealing with decades old technology. What I discovered was interesting. In addition to telling me the expected, it showed things like: when I went to bed at night, when I got up in the morning, and even when I got up in the middle of the night and for how long. The times weren't exact, but it provided pretty good estimates for an indirect measurement using a very crude instrument.

Now imagine what could be inferred from your meat grilling data.

I am not saying that that people go around doing nefarious things with your meat grilling data. In fact, there is a very good chance that it is not even being collected. Yet we live in a world that is hungry for data of virtually any type and in any form, which makes both data collection and nefariousness a possibility when that data is being handled by an Internet connected device. Personally, I find that possibility creepy - even if no harm is being done.
I guess I'm much more conservative than other folks, but I think we've scratched only 10% of the surface of the benefits that things like Kubernetes, Consul, Vault and Terraform should/will provide.

So they're on the list. I feel like at my job I'm pushing at the edges (as far as running large scale, stable production) and we've still got miles left.

Also Bazel.

Just an estimate. Revenues about $25B a year with net margins around 15-20% works out to $4B to $5B in profits a year. It’s possible margins are slightly lower than that but historically they were 20%+.

The rest of the market is roughly $100B, and has net profit margins of 2-3%.

I keep mine next to my desk and use it when I'm bored or need a moment to think. I tried following the recommend pattern of use in the instructions but didn't stick to it for very long. Now I just use it when the fancy strikes me.
This. Yes the option of a walled garden is a great thing and I wouldn't recommend anything but an Apple device to my non-technical relatives. But if Apple also wants to make the $$ that comes from selling "pro" gear, they need to stop relentlessly consumerizing and turning OS X into iOS. I don't think they realize the level of ill will they are engendering in the developer/pro market.

Perhaps it's time for a "Pro" and "Home" Mac OS.
Is Youtube really better at identifying the music? For one video my father posted we got a complaint that some company owned the song for the part where my sister was playing the piano and singing. It offered the option of muting it or allowing ads with the money going to the company. What it didn't say was what song specifically it thought the video had. So though they offered the option to contest it there was no way for us to do that without this information. The lyrics were something my sister had written herself, so it was very likely that it was a false match. It obviously had a recording of what they thought matched or it couldn't have made the comparison. But without allowing me access to that recording there is no way to know if their algorithm is any good.
I host two small websites on my $5 DO droplet, and I use Docker to keep everything its own space. The entire deployment process if I wanted to start with a brand new VPS is about 15 minutes. I think Docker makes my deployments a breeze, and it hasn't forced me to cough up any extra money.
Oh, I thought you were talking about how EBS disks are presented as NVMe even though they run over the EC2 network fabric.
You're right, it would need to be appealed. The defendant would not appeal, but the government could, and likely will if it views this as a significant burden to police practice. An important thing to note is that federal district court decisions are not binding on other federal district courts (the decisions are persuasive authority, but do not force another judge's hands). Any other judge could decide not to follow this rule. Only if the rule is announced by the 9th circuit would district courts in the 9th circuit have to follow the rule.

My main point is that while this is a promising decision, it is very far from the law of the land. And, as the original commenter pointed out, even if the 9th circuit upholds this ruling, the 9th circuit is only one circuit among many, and is often viewed as the most liberal circuit and not necessarily representative of the federal judiciary as a whole.
Rainbird's app similarly registers intent filters for PDF, HTTP, and a few other things.

Kubernetes could have been written in Typescript, for instance. Pulumi is for writing infrastructure as code in Typescript. Is Javascript a systems language, them?

Keyword being "closer" to the operating system, of course it doesn't mean just syscalls and Assembly. If you define "system" in "systems programming" in this broad sense of "something that other things call" you dilute the meaning of the term. Any program becomes "systems programming" then.

I'm sure that most people didn't use the term in this sense before Go's creators did and till this day I see only the Go community re-purposing the expression. I'd be happy to be proven wrong, though.
This looks like an interesting project. I found the naming creative: (S)y(n)chronous (a)udio (p)layer.
