Hmm, the article was somewhat interesting, but after spending 15 minutes with it, I felt it just ended up rambling without a clear point.

Not that that's a bad thing -- there's something to be said for long narrative. Or reading something for atmosphere.

But especially for a coastal eco-website/magazine, I would think the writer would try to emphasize more of a focused point or question / issue for the reader to ponder. Like the need for fisheries management, or the cost of shipping fish around the globe, or the struggle of a quota'd fishing boat, or something like that.

This one wandered among several different topics, touching each one briefly but never really sticking to a theme and driving the point home. Even the last paragraph, which usually ends up with a question or big point, read just like any other paragraph or sentence. Ah well.
Re-read the person you're responding to, I think you'll see your response makes no sense. They didn't say "replacing them with nicer cops", they said: replacing them with social programs, housing, education, healthcare.

None of these require cops. Yes, you likely need some form of police force for the very, very edge case scenarios where the others won't do, but abolish police means abolish the police.

On one hand it's amazing bit on the other it shows a certain level of inefficiency. In my view one of NZ's biggest problems when it comes to productivity is the need to duplicate effort in so many areas.

I hate saying this but I'll say it anyway, as someone who has spent considerable amounts of time trying to get things done in Japan, I would say that you're right.

There is likely some ridiculously inefficient process which obviously requires changing but for cultural reasons it's hard to change things so they're stuck in this strange situation.
Thank goodness for those thieves. Imagine if it had all been left there.

Hello,

This is the author Xianjun.

When communicate with commercial device, tcp can achieve ~30M, UDP can achieve ~38M in 20MHz 11a/g non MIMO mode. We are still working hard to optimize the whole design, because we know it is not mature enough and there is still lots of work to be done. For example, the original PHY rx openofdm design is simplified a lot for a quite small fpga which means performance (like sensitive) is sacrificed. Now our FPGA is more advanced than the openofdm FPGA in USRP N210, so there is a chance to improve a lot on both performance and features (like MIMO and new standard). Recently nlnet.nl gives us a short term fund to complete the 802.11n feature: https://nlnet.nl/project/OpenWifi-80211n/index.html

There are lots of information (including throughout) in the readme and “project document” on GitHub (https://github.com/open-SDR/openwifi). Worth to read word by word.

1000 tons of CLEAN ammonium in good shape. It's rather hard to explode all mass of pure ammonium or even ANFO in mines, it's routine to find unexploded pellets all over the place. It's even harder to explode whole mass of ammonium which sat for several years in humid conditions (ammonium nitrate is VERY higroscopic).

By running a successful business?
Some people really need to get a proper perspective on this. Did he bribe people? Did he extort people?

Yeah, he was running a competitive business where he took advantage of his market position... just like any other business.

But oh, "I love my iPhone, and Steve Jobs is therefore my hero. So Apple is good because it loves it's customers".
Germany has a force separate from the police to handle parking infractions and things of that sort (Ordnungsamt), and they're not armed. I think this is somewhat common in Europe.
I somewhat agree with you. If both parties have guns, then it is only question of who shoots first. Even small error in judgement, can end up shooting and tragedy. We seriously need to look into gun control.
I believe Hezbollah's use of ammonium nitrate for explosives is well documented.
> The alternative is to simply assume all of Amazon's package traffic is going to be lowest-margin and price appropriately.

This seems like the simplist way. The company could take a sample of 100 Amazon parcels, analyze the marginal cost of delivering each (how full was each van, how much did it add to each route, etc), and use that as the basis for price negotiations with Amazon.

If that means Amazon pays more than other customers, fine.

> We even "accidentally" landed in Tibet for 2 weeks and visited the Everest Base Camp near Shigatse.

Presumably with an entry permit and guide? I visited this camp, the one next to the Rongbuk Monastery, last year. It was quite a touristy spot. And the toilet facilities were horrendeous. There was an another base camp closer to the Everest, but only accessible if you have an "Everest permit". How was it 14 years ago?
Pocket misses important functionality, like the ability to edit the title of the links.

This is particularly annoying for PDFs, because it can't extract titles from PDFs. If you bookmark something like [1], Pocket's title will be "ifl2014_submission_13.pdf" instead of "Church Encoding of Data Types Considered Harmful for Implementations".

Also, up until a month or two ago, the interface was anti-web, as searching did not have a URL you could use, so you couldn't set Pocket with a custom search keyword, for doing quick searches.

The biggest reason to use bookmarks is the AwesomeBar. For the example above, if I start typing "Church Encoding", Firefox will also search in my bookmarks. That search bar being multi-functional is awesome, because I don't have to remember to search my bookmarks. If searching in your bookmarks doesn't happen often, then it's just cold storage. Plus it's always nice when it saves you a Google round-trip.

There's also the issue that in Pocket I end up saving trashy articles that I don't necessarily want to archive. Although it's nice to remember a read article and find it again in Pocket.

Anyway, I wish Pocket would evolve into a Pinboard replacement, but unless it provides the capability of editing titles, and possibly descriptions too, then it can't be a replacement.

> And if you have some way to enter the numbers so online transactions still work, then what is the point of the encryption?

Why not allow plugging the card into the computer just like a yubikey for online payments? It would be quite difficult to pull off, but credit card companies can save a lot on fraudulent transactions if it is implemented.
Unfortunately i couldn't find evidence of the pattern going any further or back (195, 591, 2195 etc).

My impression is that things are drastically different if you’re going for a top professorship vs something else, like a job at google. If you’re going for a professorship then basically nothing matters until you strike on an idea that hits it out of the park in some way. And it’s a tricky combination of technical and political fitness. Depending on your work, some schools will like you more than others.

If you’re just looking for a job in some research lab then a basic “get it done” process on an incremental result works fine.
> Anytime I see comments referencing “gO To rEdDiT” I can’t help but sigh at the hypocrisy. Your comment adds nothing to the thread and only reduces overall discussion quality further.

This is completely wrong. If Reddit sucks, and people are making HN like Reddit with low effort content, then what recourse do we have other than to say so? Or should we just let HN turn into another low effort shit content site? You can disagree with whether or not this content sucks all you want, but again, the sentiment is totally off base.
Black person here. Generally speaking, we just want swift accountability when police do fucked up things.
And I must say, though this thought is controversial. If you are a white man born in America, feeling guilt is what you’re supposed to feel, as a human being. Not personal guilt, as few even living today are directly responsible for the systems that came before. But guilt from being born into privilege in a society built entirely to benefit you, from the net worth of your parents, to the quiet mono-racial neighborhoods that are the after effects of federal redlining.

Born poor? That means you should understand the plight of people trapped in hopeless poverty more.

From this article, it is 15 joules per gm of energy. That means 0.5kwh is generated for 100kg of these cells - typical battery weight in EVs.

But this is continuous process. So in 24hrs, you would get 12kwh which can be stored in super capacitors.

Assuming 10kms per kwh of EV range, this would be 120kms per day.

And if we allocate more kgs for battery, the range would increase.
I went looking for these things you claim are there, and you're right! They are hidden in the screenshots without nary a mention!

This is what the website SAYS:

"What if we had a tool that could work in straight lines or… well… not straight lines? [...] We built a new style of text editor from the ground up to better support creative thinking. Clover lets you explode traditional documents and work in a more free-form manner for better brainstorming, mind-mapping, and exploration."

Notice the difference between what YOU said, and what the WEBSITE says? You produced a useful list of features; the website blabbers in incomprehensible marketing-speak.

Sonar works far better than lidar for precision seafloor scanning.
In 70 years of physics we went from the photoelectric effect to the Standard Model. But for the last 50ish, it remains the standard.

70 years from the first flight to the concorde and the saturn 5. But in the 50 years since, improvements in aerospace have been incremental.

In 75 years we went from ENIAC to TFLOPS in a laptop. But looks like that breakneck pace is slowing down sharply. We've been doing AI nearly as long, and have gone from say, Eliza to GPT-3. A huge advance, but not AGI.

A lot can happen in 50 years, but we've already had our first 70ish years with AI without an AGI breakthrough.

To the definition of AGI in the link, maybe a hundred million data scientists can hone a million models, one per "economically viable" task, and start chipping away at the 95% of the economy target, but till now I'd wager AI has put many more people to work than out of it.
The law dictates when it's okay to shoot people in self-defense. No person should receive special extra privileges to shoot people with a different standard.

The police do not legally have that right; but in practice they get to murder anyone they want and get away with it.

The rules for the police are very different than the rules for everyone else. That's due to inequality in the application of the law: the rules that apply to you and I do not apply to them.

Perhaps you, as many do, think the police should be in a special class of their own, above the law.

I think the laws should apply equally to all people.

Presumably, high rates of investment drive up prices (since supply is somewhat constrained). High prices reduce the ability for people to purchase, so they have to rent, but then higher purchase price means the investors have to increase rent too. This means there is a lot of demand at the low end of the housing market, where houses aren't as well maintained/insulated/upgraded
Second this and i'm glad you described it so well. No matter how hard most companies try to create an atmosphere of "family" for their employees, it fundamentally rings hollow almost all of the time, and by definition it has to for exactly the reasons you stated. These are organizations that exist to make money for themselves and their owners/investors, not to support their staff through thick and thin, bad or good (as a family or tribe is almost morally obligated to).

Any employee who isn't a total fool should know this and the executives certainly do because they have to to keep their efficiency numbers and bottom line looking decent. So any claims to the contrary just sound forced, false and absurd because that's all the are, the employee equivalent of some corp also expressing loving platitudes to its customers

Example: during the pandemic I've seen several major banks and other corporations send out emails and publicity material with phrases like "we're all in this together" scattered around it..... Yeah. as if my own experience as some random individual customer or employee with limited resources and all sorts of personal struggles in any way relates to their main concerns as a multibillion dollar corporation.

So yes, comparing almost any company except a literal extended family business or a small startup staffed by a group of close associates and friends working together to a tribe or family group is empty nonsense 99% of the time.
The worldwide market for aviation and space launches is far larger now than in the 1970s.
It's pretty clear all Trump cares about is himself and to a lesser extent his family. He is terrified of losing for a myriad of reasons, his narcissism being the main one and he will watch the country burn if it means avoiding that.

>replacing them with social programs, housing, education, healthcare.

Unfortunately, this part is extremely vague and is missing a track record. So how it ends up in the real human world, is police funding gets cut and the funds get diverted into corrupt politicians' pockets. Like the Chicago mayor that successfully reduced police funding only to have a separate police detachment placed near her home.
Of course there isn't, hence why instead of providing you a source, OP just tells you to look up some vague thing. (Hilariously, you are now the top result for 'nypd brownies unarmed')
> I also think most activists are aware of this.

I'm sorry, but how did you come to this conclusion? The first thing that comes to mind is the new tactic used by activist, saying something to the effect of "If you are not doing something to prevent racism, then you are guilty of being racist." Which is what (I believe) lead to this thing: https://www.businessinsider.com/white-protesters-confront-di...

I'm not disagreeing, it was an honest question and your answer is reasonable.

We should aim for 100%, but it's unlikely we'd ever get there in the real world.

What would make a good metric is having a similar score across all communities as well. Obviously the black and Asian communities have a different perspective and that's something that could be fixed.

Hmm, curious. I suppose I would wonder, then, if there's no dataset how any algorithm could be developed. What I mean is ... once you've developed something, how do you test how well it performs? How do you analyze the effectiveness of the algorithm, the false positive rate, etc.

> Is there room for a modern PhD that values breadth over depth?

How little depth? You can read a whole bunch of popular books on a wide variety of subjects during your lifetime, and that's fine, but its very low depth. You can't do much with that knowledge.

I think you need to realize is that a PhD is not a "study". That is a Bachelors/Masters program typically, where you mostly consume the knowledge of others. A PhD is about becoming a knowledge creator.

You can become a knowledge creator without a PhD, no question about that. All you have to do is learn some field of study (via online courses or going through textbooks), do enough literature review to identify an unsolved problem (listen to technical talks), and finally solve it by dedicating a year of your life to it. You can then move on to a different area if you are bored of this area.

> modern P.h.D. students spend more time than necessary dealing with administrative functions like teaching, grading, and paperwork for the university

This is a problem of economics. The students who are on fully funded scholarships don't do any teaching or grading, and I am sure anyone can handle the 10 hours of paperwork per year. Either you can be good enough to get that scholarship or you can save/borrow 125K and do a Phd unburdened by anything.
You have a good point. However, to be a bit pedantic, fully reusable rockets, which we are very much knocking on the door of, are a major stepwise improvement.

My understanding is that in many historical examples of civil disobedience there was often an prior understanding between the protesters and the police as to what was going to happen. In a sense, it was scripted.

I'm not going to try to justify the police actions in Austin -- I don't know the details, but it seems to me that taking a large number of people into custody with no "script" and with the people not ready to be detained is probably quite hazardous, stressful, and ripe for something to go very wrong.

> Folks, this concept isn't that difficult, and there seem to be a bunch of comments arguing about what civil disobedience really is, as if we didn't have hundreds of years of examples and jurisprudence to go by.

I think what I've learned it discussing this is that in fact most people don't understand the philosophy of civil disobedience. Most people seem use the term to mean "breaking things, intimidating people, and baiting the police to draw attention to a just cause". And there is a unexplained rule that determines when the cause is "just" enough to excuse committing the crime that draws the attention.
I don't know if this comment is out of place, but it makes me realise the 'Americanisation' of the world (whenever that takes place) is not only the exporting of 'democracy', but also USA-style surveillance (and also American prudish cultural values - see Facebook as the instrument of that).

It makes me realise that on some level, it's great we see countries who refuse to bow down to such 'americanisation'.

I'm certainly not advocating for countries having despotism and corruption in their own right, but on some level, we need diversity.
