I recommend reading the technical paper if you're interested in the methodology seeing as it covers the things you're thinking about.
Trucks are explicitly limited by weight, ships are somewhat limited by volume. Container ships especially need to be loaded way up because the cargo is less dense than eg crude oil.

Heavy trucks are also a much bigger issue than international shipping, which is only ~2% of global GHG. 6.7% of US GHG emissions come from medium and heavy duty trucks, or 23% of emissions due to transportation.
The GPL is a system of perfect logic built on the foundation of a few flawed assumptions.

Flawed assumption #1: Others will or can be compelled to share their code.

Flawed assumption #2: Software is more or less independent of hardware.

China has no real interest in sharing with the west and there is no legal system to compel them to do so.

Software is a lot easier to produce than hardware. This gives hardware vendors (i.e. China) the upper hand in controlling the marketplace. For an example, see Android.

Have you ever tried to replace or update the software on your phone without the hardware vendors input? It's not easy because the hardware vendor has control and no interest in allowing it. And they could easily make it all but impossible if it suited them.

In other words, open source system software exists mostly to the extent that hardware vendors choose to allow it. Just because the PC platform has traditionally been fairly "open" doesn't mean it will always continue. In the history of computing, this is actually more of an aberration.

If China decided to sell low cost closed hardware boxes with some proprietary variant of Linux, there isn't much Open Source could do about it --- which is exactly what we have here.
Would it be though? I understand ships are heavy polluters, but the areas they are polluting in are much larger than trucks in traffic in cities. Cities are so much more dense, and you can see that effect in satellite imagery.
> Because that ability doesn't exist, there is no downwards price pressure anywhere at the consumer level for medical services.

It's important to note that the downward pressure you'd see here is only for elastic goods which most healthcare-related things likely aren't.
If they make it so that you have to 'unfold' it to see at least as an option, then I think it's a fine thing to add.

Ah yes. And I remember when doubleclick arrived on the scene, it was a popular opinion to say they were evil, or sneaky, big brother like. Google bought them and somehow the reputation lifted.
Sun have lot of energy, so it can be used as energy source. If you plan to travel at % of c, you will need strong enough radiation and thermal shield anyway. And if you have such shield, why not just dive into Sun for refueling? Humans can stay at high orbit, when interstellar locomotive refuels.
The 4-Word Startup
I think we might see more instances of this happening, not less. The thing is SF salaries are very high compared to just anywhere else in the world. There are many reasons for that (high rent, high concentration of talent), but I doubt these justify paying 300k when Uber can pay 80k to an engineer in India. To people saying the difference in salary is not large, it absolutely is large, and they can check https://www.levels.fyi/SE/Uber/Google for some data points. Not to mention this is just salary, cost of employment will include more things like real estate costs, health insurance, all of which will make this even bigger.

Also, India has good enough engineering talent that product quality shouldn't be an issue given good technical leadership. If companies can hire people straight out of bootcamps for entry level jobs, they can sure get better value by hiring someone having a very good CSE education at much lower cost. Even the vast majority of work at FAANGs doesn't require a Dave Cutler or Jeff Dean. For example, majority of engineers at Google are not working on Search, Colossus,BigTable,Spanner,Borg or the most important technologies. Most engineers just need to know how to use BigTable/Spanner, and that is much easier than designing them.

One way to do that would be to publicly fund research for clinical trials in drugs that do not have that moat.

It is totally possible to develop drugs without that moat, it just requires getting the money from somewhere.

I have no idea which method would produce better outcomes. Back when there was more science leadership at large pharma, I thought they would be more likely to take crazy bets that work out, that wouldn't necessarily happen at an NIH grant review panel. But last I checked most upper management in pharma are people that tout a PhD on their name, but it's for a field outside of a relevant science.

Yes, that is the direction things are going in. The remaining thermal power technology that's still (for the moment) viable is combustion turbines, which are internally heated (combined cycle does have an externally heated bottoming cycle, but only 1/3 the power output goes through that, and it shares the generator with the combustion turbine proper.) But even combustion turbine sales are falling; that's what's gotten General Electric in such trouble lately.
Ah right, thanks. EDIT: I'm confused that you got downvoted, your explanation was helpful to me.

Anyway, with this out of the way I'm happy to report to GP that there's places that can be easily reached from the US with current spaceship technology[0] where Trump does not rule and where politics is less polarized.

If you a looking for a 1:1 clone for the early web, you will probably be disapointed. Gemini takes way more design hints from Gopher then it ever will from the web.

It looks to be a reimagined gopher with some early web parts. Which makes me wonder how close their protocol is to the gopher one.
I believe there is a lobste.rs mirror (not sure about hacker news). It includes the comments, but in a read only presentation (gemini is more or less inherently read only; though there is a separate protocol called titan that handles writing for gemini servers that support it).
There's also the work on wireless charging via the roadway, itself. No, it isn't working right now but it's in its infancy. Only the very first prototypes have been rolled out, and they don't wear well, admittedly. Solutions are being worked on.

Technology is only limited by your imagination and your ability to problem solve. =)

I'm in exactly the same boat. I finally switched from HBO on Amazon Prime on the day South Park left Hulu and HBO Max became a Hulu channel that you can't watch with the Hulu app. (If that isn't confusing enough by itself.)

The HBO Max app is terrible, clearly first generation. Many standard things we've come to rely on in the Amazon Prime (or even Netflix) apps don't work in HBO Max. Navigation is awful and the placement of buttons and tabs leads you to stupid pages like "About" when you are trying to navigate seasons or episdoes.

The worst thing is that HBO Max app can't stream in the background on mobile. If you do anything else on your phone, the entire app stops and reopening it returns to the home screen! Amazon Prime Video and Netflix can both stream in the background in a thumbnail window. Even Hulu knows that you were watching a show and returns to the same spot in that show.

After paying for HBO for more than 20 years, I also feel jilted by this "one price, two classes of service" model. Not cool, HBO.
By fixing nutrition and adding some physical exercises. Though it’s slow, count 1 kg weight loss/week in average.
If inequality within a country matters, then inequality between countries also matter. For instance back in the 60s at least European countries produced cars and other things to compete with American cars. Today when a new technology comes out, like Facebook, it captures nearly all the value in America itself. American investors and their 401k, capture a bigger share of it (the more money you have to invest, more money you'll make, which makes it disproportionately go towards America, and yes, more towards some Americans). Even in America, HCOL (high cost of living) areas capture more value than LCOL areas.

This trend is just expected to accelerate. No to mention the strengthening of the dollar and flight towards the Dollar is another wealth transfer from ROW to the US.
That’s a bit racist.
Can we just accept habitable zone planets exists in every single star system around us?
Thanks.
So realistically we have two ways of colonizing this.
Either we cure aging so a few decades of space travel wouldn't make a dent in our life and our physical ability to colonize an uninhabited environment OR we invent real AI and leave space colonization to the machines as they have both don't age and can transport themselves at the speed of light.

I'd say machines will be cheaper.
I have not researched that until now but it appears the US is #3 for median disposable income behind Switzerland and Norway. If there’s a better metric I’m interested. However, I think it’s safe to say the typical US resident is not relatively impoverished. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disposable_household_and_per...
To copy text, selecting and pressing <Enter> or <Ctrl>+C works. To paste, one should right-click window title and select Edit -> Paste (Ctrl+V and Shift+Insert are sent as a hotkeys to the Linux). Or just right-click terminal window.

Another approach is to enable "Use Ctrl+Shift+C/V as Copy/Paste" in terminal properties and just use those shortcuts, they seem to work fine in ssh.
2 nights at the hospital for delivering a healthy baby may cost $50k-$100k to the insurance for healthy baby and mom.

The fact that hospital/physicians charge as much and insurance accepts to pay is not due to some unhealthy habits or chronic diseases in the US.

Edit: of course your point stands and the higher rate of chronic diseases makes it worse.

Not sure about speed, but clipboard integration works for me from the first glance (see my neighbor answer) and resize works, at least for vim and tmux. Non-ascii input requires more research, I think that with some additional configuration it should work.
Gopher will be faster by nature of gemini using TLS. However, gopher is inherently less secure than gemini. If you are wanting the TLS, gemini _should_ load your document faster than the https (even with minimal headers included for the https version, there is still more header overhead to just make the request and there is a lot more header overhead in most responses).

What a horribly myopic way to organize information. They seem to have unthinkingly copied from vernacular English various loosely defined concepts like "city". What do they mean by San Francisco? The City and County of San Francisco? What about Los Angeles? Is that the entire LA metro or just LA county? Is Santa Monica a part of Los Angeles or a seperate settlement? How is the concept of "city", "metro", and "town" going to translate into "市", "Burg", and "Grad"?

I wasn't the grandfather poster you're responding to. But I'll give you my perspective as a Brit. It seems to me a conflation of two separate things. The pro-business environment over the pond allows a lucky minority to capitalise and have a higher standard of living than most places in the world. That is a plus for people who can make it in the U.S. for sure. Glossing over the unlucky majority for the sake of the argument; this state of affairs doesn't seem entirely dependent on the lack of a national healthcare system. It just so happens that a slice of those lucky few don't want to lose their various golden geese, so they have been campaigning to keep the status quo.

Socialised healthcare is cheaper but my understanding. You could have your cake and eat it. I'm open to reading data pointing to the contrary.

This is weird. Really weird.

Using AI seems pointless. Not to mention that what need would an AI have for a planet. Might as well put a solar sail in our system. Maybe make a few thousand clones...

How about sending a whole village for the voyage? Some will die, some will be born, culture will be thought and the next generation would colonise the new planet.

I said secretly, so the sources are of course hidden. They will never show you the cellar blueprints, and will never confirm why they demolished the three WTC towers this way. But it started with Sears, and worked for WTC. Question is if they would demand it for future such skyscrapers, as they saw the radiation problems with the WTC. Could not touch it for 10 years. A more conventional destruction would be better nowadays, but those were the days in the construction business.
I'd find it an effort to standardize text/terminal-friendly accessible HTML+CSS much more appealing. And the TLS requirement seems to make it harder to get started for pure "fun" projects.

1.) There is already tech in development for batteries to last 1M miles.

https://www.autoblog.com/2020/06/11/catl-million-mile-batter...

2.) Energy required to produce the batteries will eventually shift to zero emission sources.

3.) Materials can be recycled from the battery even after its million+ mile use.

It’s hard to overcome the energy required to produce hydrogen plus the bad efficiency of fuel cells compared to batteries/electric motors.

If you fly business class you get waited on hand and foot the whole time, get plenty of space to lie down and sleep, and a reasonably quiet environment. On the next step up (ie not spending millions and millions of dollars on your own plane), you’ll be on a much smaller (probably noisier) plane with fewer comforts (you’ll likely be back to sitting instead of lying down), worse food, fewer supplies of things you might want to ask for (that you didn’t specifically request in advance of the flight). Depending on how your flight is organised you may also have stricter scheduling requirements (maybe you could turn up a few hours early or late but maybe you couldn’t rebook your ticket for a different day). And for all that, you’ll pay a lot more.
Here in India, for mildly symptomatic patients, Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin, along with zinc and some Vit. C are pretty much standard recommendation.

I'm all for these tools being published and used where appropriate. I'm only criticizing their description as the "gold standard for privacy protection" which seems disingenuous.
I poked around on an old Indy at a vintage computer show a couple years back, and the main takeaway I had was, “holy crap the UI elements feel instantaneous.”

I know it’s been posted here many times about how computers have become perceptually slow, but that Indy after a couple minutes of poking around really drove the point home in a way that no numbers ever could.

Computers have gained a lot, for sure, but they’ve also lost a lot. I wonder if it’s even possible to make a modern computer fast in a way that feels fast again.
Stopping is sort of a problem.
I think you are comparing it to the wrong scenario. Hiring for your own company(Uber in this case) is far different than outsourcing to an Indian company like Infosys and TCS. Microsoft already has a huge presence in India, and so does Amazon. I have interacted with engineers in FAANG in both India and the west coast, and there is no huge quality difference in people on the same job levels.

> 20 yrs. of that was spent in solitary confinement

Solitary confinement is pure torture, I can't even imagine how it would be to spend 20 years under those dreadful circumstances. I generally love lots of things about the US (never been there, I must admit) but I find their incarceration policies scandalous.
I agree the US provide a very high materialistic living standard if you are well-educated or rich - but as you said, focusing on the tech sectors is a very narrow view on societies as a whole.

As an European working in tech I really don't care about those millions of dollars. My income - very low on the SV-scale - is more than enough to live a comfortable life.

Compared to the Anglosphere this also means that there is a lot less pressure in regard to getting priced-out with a median salary. Public transport & infastructure is great, university education is cheap and housing is affordable (not just for me, but also my friends in other industries).

Personally, this feels more egalitarian and I prefer it to a society with higher GDP that comes with more inequality.
As far as we know Musk isn't keen on the idea of interstellar travel.

SpaceX's COO Gwynne Shotwell is, and has spoken publicly about it (and has allude to Musk's opinions on it [1]). That said the basic requirement is a significant propulsion breakthrough [2], current technology just isn't good enough.

You don't beat the speed of light, you just travel at an appreciable fraction of it an accept the fact that by the time you arrive everyone on earth will have aged n (>11?) years.

My reply was mostly meant only for the first 2 sentences, except the trucking part.

I was trying to evidentiate that charging stations built by tesla supplement home charging or any normal outlet. It's a bit different than building a network of superchargers because the demand would be a lot higher because a hydrogen powered car will be fully dependent of those specially built charging stations.

The main idea is that a BEV owner doesn't need a supercharger station to use his car. Sure, it'll be nice, but not mandatory; let's not forget that not everybody lives in US or W. Europe where the network is more developed.

> 2 nights at the hospital for delivering a healthy baby may cost $50k-$100k to the insurance for healthy baby and mom.

Maybe I'm misremembering, but we had a ridiculous high deductible ($10k?) when we had our first kid, and I don't think we met it.

That said, I complain about the price of healthcare and insurance to anyone who will listen, and I hope someday it gets sorted out. So far the only solution I've found is to get a better paying job, which isn't a solution for most people.
I’m not saying things are more expensive but that the total spent is more. What do you think Americans do with their relatively higher incomes? Evidence would suggest that for the most part they aren’t just putting the difference straight into their savings accounts.
> If your new Lisp is designed by anything less than a committee with people like Kent Pitman, Guy Steele, and Richard P. Gabriel, chances are that you will end up with something worse.

Nonsense. It's trivial to design a new Lisp better than this committee did, regardless of how well a job they did, because hindsight is 20/20, and this is 50 years of hindsight. Step 1: take Common Lisp. Step 2: fix the obvious design flaws and warts which have proven themselves irritating to everyone over the years. And there are many, everything from a lack of standard character set, to nods to ancient versions of Lisp (caddddr, association lists and property lists, grotesque mistakes in EQUALP and EQUAL, lack of basic functionality in hash tables and arrays -- broken equality testing, and seriously, you have to write your own function to copy an array or hash table? -- missing literals for standard data types, huge numbers of unfortunately named symbols, on and on and on). Step 3: done.
As usual, the comment section on HN is absolutely dominated by introverts. This is not a bad thing, but obviously the OP is asking a question that introverts don't care about so they shouldn't really be posting. "What problem? Things are fine for me; I've been training for this my whole life" is not helpful to those with this problem.

Being a hopeless extrovert, I really get how difficult it is not being in the office.

For me, I have to replace human interaction with co-workers with some other face-to-face source. I have been in the quarantine bubble with my sisters who live on the same street, and sometimes I have to go to my brother-in-law's house and talk to him for a few hours just to get that part of me out. It has also been helpful she's sometimes to work around my distracting children. I can't do it all the time, and more often than not I have to lock myself away in the office in the basement, but as another top commenter has said, those little sounds of other people interacting and living really really help. I plan on taking his advice and opening up a twitch channel while I work.

But what many introverts (including several members of my family) do not understand is that electronic interaction is like eating tofu when you really just want red meat. It's sort of helps but it doesn't really satisfy. I have to get face-to-face interaction. I have done things like plan a weekly fireside for those in my family with the same problem where we can sit around a fire six feet apart from each other.
