Obviously 5 > 3, and hopefully Android/Pixel keeps making progress, but I don't know that these numbers are directly comparable since Android does less through OS updates, and iOS updates tend to not perform great on old phones, so I wouldn't take these numbers uncritically.

Something practical not mentioned here is that the proton exchange membrane in fuel cells generally degrade in a few years and need to be replaced. This is a major expense. Degradation is accelerated if the hydrogen (fuel) or oxygen (from environment) are not pure.
I'm not sure a monthly roundup is a drop-in replacement. Presumably that could exist now, but isn't as effective for whatever reason.

On the other point, subsidizing drugs for those who need them is a perfectly reasonable goal. It just seemed to me (incorrectly, it appears) like you were suggesting this cost shifting lowers the total cost.
As KenoFischer says, they are not the same ciphertext, even if we consider a non homomorphic encryption system. Enc is basically a random algorithm, and we need it to return different ciphertexts for the same plaintext, otherwise it would be easy to break - if I know Enc(1) and the scheme is additive, then I'd know Enc(n) for all n...

The Pixel 3a has been discontinued and the 4a is either not released yet or cancelled.

But I had a Pixel 3a, it was the worst phone I ever owned. The screen coating had a defect that Google refused to fix. The body is plastic and the screen is more brittle than Gorilla glass, so it shattered after hitting the ground on its corner. In 13 years of carrying these things around, it's the only phone I ever broke.

This iPhone can't possibly be any worse.
How do you know this person is a "domain expert"? It's frankly outright foolish to give any weight to an anonymous "expert". Even then an anonymous comment could be valuable if there were links to sources demonstrating "consensus among domain experts", but nothing of the sort was provided.

Your comments about what internet forums are for is completely unrelated and also incorrect. Internet forums are for whatever someone is willing and allowed to discuss.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. has 434,164,946 acres of “cropland”—land that is able to be worked in an industrial fashion (monoculture). This is the prime, level, and generally deep agricultural soil. In addition to cropland, the U.S. has 939,279,056 acres of “farmland.” This land is also good for agriculture, but it’s not as level and the soil not as deep. Additionally, there is a vast amount of acreage—swamps, arid or sloped land, even rivers, oceans, and ponds—that the USDA doesn’t count as cropland or farmland, but which is still suitable for growing specialized energy crops.

Of its nearly half a billion acres of prime cropland, the U.S. uses only 72.1 million acres for corn in an average year. The land used for corn takes up only 16.6% of our prime cropland, and only 7.45% of our total agricultural land.

Even if, for alcohol production, we used only what the USDA considers prime flat cropland, we would still have to produce only 368.5 gallons of alcohol per acre to meet 100% of the demand for transportation fuel at today’s levels. Corn could easily produce this level—and a wide variety of standard crops yield up to triple this.

This entire comment thread is extremely spooky to me. There's such a willingness to be mean-spirited in the name of equality it's downright terrifying.

Does anyone else get sketched out about downloading putty from the official URL? I know its been around for awhile, but still seems like a suspect URL for such a popular program.
For #3 at least, an environment that separated within-topic from between-topic competition for attention might be a major improvement. A large search engine cooperating with a government might be able to pull this off by making content also findable on any major all-vs.-all feed ineligible for display: a preselected topic is embedded in each search, so search results can in principle be isolated from between-topic attention competition. This would almost have to start outside the US, but if it actually works it may then see wider adoption.

(I'd expect some radicalization/"evaporative cooling" memetic hazard to remain, but it should at least decrease in intensity, since one driver of increased self-radicalization is low viability of moderate, non-attention-grabbing content relative to overstated clickbait.)

This logic does not follow. If some third-party data leak results in my social security number being published, does that mean it is now ethical for a researcher studying that data leak to post my social security number without redaction?

This is not a contrived example: Equifax was, apparently, compromised in full, which means that all American social security numbers issued prior to that compromise can safely be considered 'leaked'.

The logic follows that I should be permitted to post anyone's social security number for any reason at all, without regard for the ethics of doing so, because "it's been made public" and therefore all ethical concerns are void.

I disagree with this premise. Context of disclosure matters, even if the information has been previously disclosed. Ethical considerations apply regardless of previous disclosure.

One disclosure of personal data does not negate the ethical considerations around that same disclosing personal data, even if it has been made public at any point previously. This approach ends up supporting doxxing — where 'public' information is used unethically to target individuals for harassment.
I don't know who would consider Pixels to be flagships. Other than the relatively pure Android and timely updates, and the relatively good hardware, there are better phones available.

Google is also very strict with their update policy, which means that after 3 years after release, the phone is EOL. I'm repeating myself on here but Nokia (HMD Global) is actually still providing my Nokia 6 from January 2017 with updates every 3 months. I recently went on a research mission for a new Android phone but noticed how bad the situation on Android still is.
Efficiency isn't, and never has been, a deal breaker. There are hundreds of millions of vehicles that have been built with efficiency levels far lower than the best in class for ICE, and they're still used. Efficiency is just one factor of many that contribute to cost of ownership and operation.

Even then, fuel cells are not super inefficient. At the low end of efficiency, PEM fuel cells are already more efficient than the vast majority of current generation ICE vehicles. And with SOFCs with novel heat recuperation technologies, 85-90% efficiencies are already achievable.

Ok, but you know the big majority of the users dont care were the content come from, or how its delivered to them. They care about what is being served instead of how.

If you guys manage to have some 'killer apps' on this protocol, where people will try to reach it no matter how its is implemented, than there's a chance.

IRC killer app is IRC itself, and they manage to push themselves as alternative in the nineties where a lot of popular protocols and alternatives like the web were still in the beginning.

Anyway, if you convince people over time to serve their content through this medium, with enough and interesting content, the user will try/learn to reach them.

But i dont know, i think at least they should be trying to use some p2p DNS system, making it easy for people to serve their own content, or revisit BBS and serve contents in tree-like structures akin to directories..

I feel that there must be something to really differentiate it from everything else. Some things that are unique, and that the web + others are not covering. Because if you think about IRC or Email, they have distinct features that web could never cover even being a mammoth protocol, while this doesnt hold the same way when you think of Gemini proposal.

Anyway, people trying to do something, to change things for what they perceive as the better is a good thing, and it should always be celebrated, because even when the thing doesn't stick it might need adjustments, incremental evolution or just to serve as a influence to something else or through experience inspire the creators to create something even better.

Ha. When I type I need to see what I have written. The tap response is slow feels like early Android mobiles.
You misunderstood. I'm not here to "exchange ideas." Neither was this a trap. My intent was explicit: "Here is an example of a topic HN posters have hostile, knee-jerk reactions to, at the mere suggestion that it exists." The responses were hostile, knee-jerk reactions to the mere suggestion that it exists. Their contention that it's okay to have such responses because they don't believe "white fragility" exists, and so are compelled to state this, and why, and why it's unfair to hold that denying its existence is a part of white fragility, is white fragility, is... exactly what I explained would happen. The entire possibility space of "arguing that white fragility doesn't exist" is encapsulated within the support structure of my argument. Letting imprudent individuals make your point for you isn't bad faith, even if it makes them feel bad.

No amount of talking around the issue takes away from the original point: the original "white fragility" post was an invitation to speak intelligently with one's silence. As with a parent who simply walks away from a tantrum, or a friend whose silence conveys dissent, simple acceptance of circumstances is all that was necessary to prove to the contrary the raised notion. The people who responded made themselves into case studies; that's all.

So here are some snippets from the first page of results of typing "reasons to be in solitary" into DuckDuckGo.

"There are a range of reasons someone can be placed in solitary confinement, including in response to violence or other serious security threats. However, the Vera Institute’s Segregation Reduction Project found 85 percent of prisoners were sent to disciplinary segregation for minor rule infractions in Illinois. Common violations included being out of place, failing to report to an assignment, and refusing an order." - https://www.prisonfellowship.org/resources/advocacy/conditio...

"Inmates have been sentenced to solitary for infractions such as refusing to cut their hair for religious reasons, or eating an apple incorrectly, which shows how broadly the offenses officially punishable with solitary confinement can be interpreted. The list of such offenses includes:

possessing any locking devices, including keys;
failure to make the bed in military fashion;
adulterating food;
demonstrating martial arts;
tattooing;
circumventing mail monitoring procedures;
indecent exposure;
misuse of authorized medications;
refusing work;
failing to perform work as instructed by a supervisor;
insolence towards a staff member;
unauthorized contact with the public;
being untidy;
circulating a petition;
feigning illness;
using abusive or offensive language.
Other reported common causes of solitary confinement are:

Possession of five dollars or more without authorization;
participation in a strike;
attempted suicide;
failure to obey an order properly;
“reckless eyeballing”;
failure to return an ashtray;
possession of an excess quantity of postage stamps."

"Contrary to popular belief, solitary confinement is not reserved only for the most dangerous prisoners. Often it is imposed to isolate detainees during the pre-trial stage of investigation, including as part of coercive interrogation. Solitary confinement for pre-trial detainees has, for example, been part of Scandinavian prison practice for many years. It is also used to lock away prisoners with – or who are perceived to have – mental illnesses." -https://www.penalreform.org/issues/prison-conditions/key-fac...
I don't think that really works with large leather bound books, especially in low light.

Three rows of three [vellum] books on a table: You're looking at lifting a several kilogram book at a stretch of 60-80cm (quartos are about 30cm tall) ... my reach is only ~60cm (at ~175cm of height). I think what you're proposing is far less convenient than you're imagining. Especially working from candlelight (in UK most people would have used animal fat lamps at this time, I gather; but if you could afford 8 books I'm guessing you could afford proper candles).
RapidQ was my stepping stone from QuickBasic to Windows GUI and server CGI programming. I could not afford VisualBasic and didn’t have a computer with enough disk space to install it. It’s still around online as abandonware and while it’s not “modern” any longer, the bang for buck in getting a simple application going is pretty high.

It compiled to bytecode so you could even compile (at least console and CGI) executables for Linux, and there was something similar to P/Invoke so you could call system functionality for advanced extending.

The author of RapidQ went on to develop RealBasic, but for a long time afterwards (and still today?) there’s a large community of people making extensions and addon components for it.

I agree that this 'review' mechanism allows police to bury mistakes when the review process is operated by a captive body, such as the police or their union. Correcting that process to independent review is an essential step.

I personally think that the review process should instead follow the jury duty process, where citizens are selected at random from the population to review police footage, but I would accept an independent review board as long as less than one third of the members are political appointees.

This is the webpage of TFHE, a recent and quite fast FHE scheme - https://tfhe.github.io/tfhe/ . They have a (surely incomplete) list of applications. I work in a somewhat related field, and I know that current FHE schemes can be used for things like voting and computing basic statistics when the data size is smallish.

I feel like that is a very optimistic view of social media channels. One of the things that would bug me is when I would tell a fan they should listen to the new album by X. They would go on Pandora and say "play X". They would get a hit song by X (or a song Pandora thought fit their tastes) and then also a bunch of songs by Y and Z. Who knows why it picked Y and Z? Because it was already people they listened to? It was like music they were listening to and Pandora didn't really have a reason to broaden their tastes? What if it was because some songs are cheaper to stream than others?

I have become disillusioned with Social Media as a discovery tool, compared to trusted recommendations or just random sampling.
I use the smallest iPhone and the biggest iPad, just because I feel they are the best form factors for my needs. A friend of mine would love to be able to use only an iPad mini, if only he could send and receive phone calls.

I've come across people mentioning Toastmasters online at least 3 dozen times in separate contexts over the years. Yet no one IRL knows what the hell it is or where to find one. How can something be so commonplace here and completely alien outside of online spaces. I've never been to one or had the word toastmasters ever mentioned in person before. Is this like an alcoholics anonymous, but for public speaking?
I haven't touched it in a while, but I wrote some code to extract data from apple notes and export to html, quiver, or bear formats. (bear is markdown-like, it looks like I targeted HTML for quiver.) It could be adapted to your needs if you know a little python:

It might need updating for features added in the last few years, but the cron job I have it running in is still working. (The html version dumps the drawings as svg, but png versions are available too.)
There’s little uniformity in women’s social and economic roles across the entire spectrum of human civilization, cultures, and history. Women have been equal members of communal tribes, religious and political leaders, agricultural and industrial laborers, fully subjugated and fully autonomous. Any attempt to place the diversity of these experiences into narrow, erroneous appeals to nature is so reductive as to be almost meaningless.

Oooo. So I think this is a terrible idea for most people, but something I would personally love. I'm a big fan of 3 monitors in a slight "wrapping" formation, but there are times when some event occurs on a screen which is literally behind me if I'm looking at one of the far monitors. It would be so cool to have 3D audio feedback that lets you calibrate to the layout of your monitors.
I completed the second interpreter in the craftinginterpreters book in rust. One thing I noticed was all the places the author was explicitly keeping track of lifetimes, I could do it via the rust compiler. For example, there is a function which should only be called with strings which will live for the life of the program. Easy to enforce with rust.

The only place where I couldn't find a zero cost abstraction was enum encoding, where enums are of different sizes.

For example

pub enum OpCode {
OpReturn,
OpConstant(u8),
OpNegate,
OpAdd,
...
}

It would be great if the compiler could use only 1 byte for the rest of the enums other than OpConstant, and more bytes for OpConstant, and use maybe the first 2 bits to store the number of bytes used, kind of like sds library by antirez. This is the only place where I felt my rust implementation was less efficient than the book's c implementation.

Off course, I could go the same route as the c code, and not use type safe enums by just keeping an array of bytes and doing the decoding myself, but I wanted to have full compile time type safety.
If you think the constraints make it trivial, try producing a solution with the same constraints. (intersection allowed but pinching and cutting not)
Not as simple as a bash script, but Obsidian (https://obsidian.md/) has this as a plugin.

Basically a button in the interface. You click on it and it creates a markdown file with today's date (example: YYYY-MM-DD). If one already exists, it just uses that one. You can also have a template that will be used when a new note is generated.

Not exactly a painting but this case got some fame.
Also seeing closures as a universal instrument to many cases, often overused.

Problem with them is disrupted control flow and implicit capturing of the context.
However, in cases where you have to guarantee something to happen after user code, the RAII guards can't replace the closures, because drop() isn't guaranteed to be called even in safe code...

The ECS GUI integration is an interesting direction. I think Rust ecosystem looked at it, and it was hard.
Am I alone in preferring the iPhone SE 2020 camera over the iPhone 11 camera in their examples? Not always but way more than I expected anyway.

It sounds a little hyperbolic but for $399 the iPhone SE 2020 seems to be shockingly good value.
Interesting. But I'm skeptical about the existence of an absolute truth. Because, ultimately, what would be the essence of what it is, truth? And why would it exist? What source would be the source of this truth, ultimately? And how would we know, especially as truth implies untruth and therefore the possibly of cognitive error?
Yes. The versions are OpenSSH 5.7 - 8.3, PuTTY 0.68 - 0.73.
