While not an HT, the TM-V71A is very popular for LEO usage because you can easily ramp up to 25W when needed.

That kind of depends on the price pr gb.

To use the power analogy, when I was young the price of power was relatively high but in recent times it has now dropped to 0.6 NOK / kWh so even charging the car from 10-80% (~61 kWh) cost 40 NOK or $4. I do not get mad at the kids leaving the light on like my mother did to me.

I (or rather my job) currently pays about 1000 NOK/ month for unlimited 500 MBit synchronous fiber internet. I transfer maybe 500 GB/month so for it to be cheaper for me it would be under 2 NOK/GB or $.2 which sounds really high but that is what I currently pay with my usage.
In my opinion, the first is a terrible interface because I have no idea what any of the parameters do, not because there are so many. The second is a good interface to me because all of the values are labeled. I don't see any problem with having this many parameters when all of those parameters are relevant (see: Vulkan). Named parameters often implies default values too, which means you wouldn't have to specify them all.

I basically emulate this in other languages, like Rust, with an “options” struct that has default values.
> we can do more to accelerate the electrification of everything

Definitely. The first thing is suggest is replacing old gas furnaces with heat pumps. No exotic tech needed, just bigger scale to reduce upfront prices.
Prusa 3D printers are open source and they are able to directly compete on the market with clones. In fact Josef Prusa is quite happy with the clones.

And then there’s a wealth of examples in open source software on how the engineering can be sustained. Blender is a great example - they accept donations from industry and users and they pull in $2m a year. The raspberry pi foundation is supported by industry players and hardware sales.

It seems to me there’s ways to make it work.
Since refusing these customers would results in the same, nothing.

But it would be nice that attached to that rating was a rating of the customer "this person gives an average of 1.5 stars" on the platform. And maybe weigh that rating as such.
It will only be a matter of time before sites like Washington Post detect a Brave user and ask for instant transfer of BAT for access.

Although Brave uses Chrome's UA, I think we can ask Brave for it's actual UA - https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/8216

I give WashP as an example because they are extremely anti adblock and most subscribers see ads too. They also have very hard ways to opt out of third party tracking.
Local memory can also be handy in general-purpose computing - there's always some data that belongs to a given core that doesn't need to be consistent across shared memory.
From Wikipedia:

> Microaggression is a term used for brief and commonplace daily verbal or behavioural indignities, whether intentional or unintentional

It’s the unintentional part that I take issue with, which means that it’s not on you to understand the context of my statement, it’s on me to imagine the infinite variety of ways you might interpret my statement and vet them for possible insensitivity before making it, which is obviously impossible.

I agree that your definition makes perfect sense but I don’t think the sort of people who spend a lot of time worrying about micro-aggressions agree that the intention of the “aggressor” matters, as is perfectly evinced by this situation:

> “We would rather not take his course than to endure the emotional exhaustion of carrying on with an instructor that disregards cultural diversity and sensitivities and by extension creates an unwelcome environment for us Black students.”
Agreed, this would align incentives nicely. Maybe we would see more innovation in compression technology that way.
I have the Kittens Game open in another tab. A few hundred years in on my 6th reset. Yet, for some self-destructive reason, I clicked this.

I played this a few years ago and I think I "beat" it? I don't remember having any path forward after I did all the things (I won't spoil it here), but I maybe just felt like I went as far as I wanted to.

I remember one of the original bittorrent guys asking for help/recruiting on some IRC channel. He said it was a transformative project. He was laughed off as the next "wanna create mmorpg" guy. For once they were wrong.
3 years, not 12. BEP 52 was based on BEP 3 and kept the same metadata, including the creation date.

Because it is insanely expensive to actually provide that. The nature of internet traffic is short bursts, not 100% utilization. In a commercial setting you can purchase fixed pipes that are entirely yours and they’re tens or hundreds of times more expensive.

Why wouldn’t you want to pool bandwidth with your neighbors so you could all get faster speeds when you were using it instead of rate limiting everyone?
It'll be interesting to read the sections on code and technology sharing.
Maybe not 'responsibility', but I guess it'd be nice to have some kind of proxy protocol so that seeders can proxy requests for people with annoying ISPs.. or they could just use a VPN like everyone else =P
> but rather to the (common?) phenomenon of government issuing a RFP or similar with unnecessary requirements/specifications that purposefully exclude certain possible suppliers, or are even tailored specifically to a certain product, while ostensibly allowing for a bidding process.

Correct. Also incredibly common. By the time they are discovered the money is already spent and the system is implemented. Not much can be done then.
Waist-Hip-Ratio
It sounds analogous to the question of deterministic memory usage (vs GC), but at a hardware level and for runtime instead of memory
Just do new things. Go to new places, talk to new people, try new things. It can be as simple as not taking the same route to work/grocery store/etc every time. Mix it up.

Some claim that time feels quicker as you get older because each passing minute is a smaller and smaller portion of your life(e.g. summer for a 6 year old is 5% of their life, whereas it is only half a percent of the life of a 50 year old). But I don't buy that.

Time goes quicker as you get older because people get stuck in the same routine, and it is quite easy to compress memories together when you do the same thing every day. So, go explore, every day, even if it is just mental exploration through books or music, and time will surely slow down.
I’m replying to everyone individually so I apologize for repeating myself, but wouldn’t Prusa 3D printers prove your point wrong? The company has grown quite a lot year over year. They acquired a company that designed SLA printers and open sourced it. They directly compete with clones. And then there’s all the open source software projects which survive despite zero sales revenue.
No mention of cabbages?
n-o-d-e seems to have the best designed project out of all of these. Like it looks like something I would actually want to buy. Though it does depend on the price. All of these hand-held devices look really attractive until you see the price. For instance, I love the design of the GDP Pocket, but that price keeps me far away.
An individual's peak alpha frequency can determine whether two closely spaced flashes of light will be viewed as a single flash. People with faster IPA (individual Peak Alpha) have a faster frame-rate, a faster sampling frequency [1].

In principle, one might use TACS (transcranial alternating current stimulation) or other rhythmic stimuli to entrain IAP and boost one's frame rate. Present work shows that TACS can lower the frame rate, making people more likely to fuse flickers than distinguish them [2].

Oh I want one of those "Timberjack" machines. (well without the timber cutting stuff). Based on some of the papers I found on the OSU project it seems like you could replace the entire computing infrastructure it was carrying around with about one pound (1/2 kg) of computers.

I don't suppose you have a pointer to an IK paper on the 4-bar linkages do you? Looks like something that might be fun to cons up with servos.
Yes, I am aware of this history as I am a geocacher. Before May 2000 the accuracy of civilian GPS was very bad, perhaps 100 meters expected error.

Setting aside the fact that BitTorrent came about long before BitCoin was a glint in Satoshi's eye, it's still massively used for content distribution, on top of being a foundational technology to several industrial applications: Apache Spark, for example, uses BitTorrent to shuffle/broadcast data around cluster nodes.

Even when BitTorrent alternatives are used in its place (such as IPFS, Dat, or Kademlia), BT was still a massive influence in all of their designs, and to the design of any other DHT that came about after its release.

All of these, plus other systems that are (in abstract) similar constructions, have several industrial applications for asset distribution (Netflix uses IPFS to distribute container images internally [0], Uber and Alibaba do similar things) and network management (DNS for example, is really just a DHT, as are several other network protocols)

Ever since BitTorrent came about, it has unequivocally been a resounding success. It never for a moment had to look for applications, there were already plenty since day one.

No reason you can't do this with the existing protocol. I'm not sure how much it helps from a legal POV and i suppose it depends upon your threat model, but, its fairly trivially doable.

Notice how this doesn't bar it from approximating human discourse. In fact, it's a staple of how we communicate and would have to be one of the essential tools in an impersonator's toolbox.

"The above quote couldn’t be more incorrect despite sounding intelligent" could be leveled at comments on any HN submission.

Though it can't confirm that the speaker is incapable of reason, else us humans would be in big trouble. The reason that we know that GPT-3 isn't capable of reason is because we know how it was made.

If we ever achieve general AI, I think it will emerge from as black a box as human consciousness, and we will be back to bedrock on philosophical questions like "are we actually conscious?" and "when does something become conscious?" except now we won't have to ponder those questions alone.

> If it is, I'm leaving my FAANG role for Netflix - it's very refreshing to hear people might be motivated by larger causes.

I don't get it. What's the larger cause here? Netflix is not doing anything special for the society. If you talk about engineering, they certainly have an excellent engineering culture, but I don't think they're implicitly more talented than many other companies.

I actually see it (but obviously, it's my opionion) as a very skilfull marketing targeted at outstanding but naive engineers (that is, people who sacrifice their work/life balance for the company). In a cynical way, it's like the nigerian scam, but oriented at intelligent people.

A company like Alphabet is more than 10x the size of Netflix. Politics and inefficiency is pretty much inevitable at those magnitudes.

If you want to circumvent the law, you must find a legal technicality, not a technical technicality.

The key weakness in every smartass technical technicality to circumvent the law is forgetting that intent is core concept when the law is interpreted in the court.

Did the defendant have intent to do X? Did the defendant use some purpose build technique to avoid doing the most literal interpretation X ? .. Yeah, defendant is guilty of doing X.
Some thought experiments for you to try:

- Does this guarantee that you get the speed that you pay for? If not, then should the price during heavy congestion cost less per GB? I’ve had the unfortunate luck of having lived in areas where the internet is unusable for anything other than email and light browsing during peak hours. Bonus: Do you know why this happens? If not, I encourage you to research this.

- How will this affect the advertising model of the entire internet economy? If you, like me, have lived your whole life on a mobile data plan that is priced based on data usage, you’ll realize just how much bandwidth is consumed by advertisements (worst are the video/audio types that auto play).

- How will this affect “future” technology such at smart homes? Most devices send data back (Amazon Echo devices) and the growing security camera ecosystem that sends recordings to the cloud would suddenly cost users a ton more.

- Speaking of cloud, what will happen to the gaming industry that is heavily cloud based? Many games don’t even ship in a completed state anymore. Instead, part of the install requires downloading a ton of additional updates. Not to mention online play, DLC, etc.

There a many many more everyday examples like this that would be heavily affected by pricing per GB. Your question sounds like a simple solution but like many things in life, that is rarely the case.
Mindfulness can likewise be used to slow down subjective time.
“eventually my issue was immediately resolved”

You could have a protocol where every block of the file is actually two "random" blocks XOR'd together, but this doesn't really work. If you create a new 1GB torrent, you'll need 1GB of new (never seen before) blocks with ~100% probability, so it will be obvious who's seeding the data.

Or you could make the block size smaller (e.g. 1 bit) and tell the lawyers to piss off because 0 and 1 are public domain.
I'd caution against memo culture, actually. I only have a sample size of 2, but in two organizations I've been in that tried to adopt something similar, this is what happened:

In the first org, there was a lot of pressure that any such memos had to be highly researched and data driven (also borrowed from Amazon, I imagine). In reality what this meant is that drafting a memo even for the smallest decisions or ideas became a large laborious effort, which nobody wanted to do and/or didn't have time to do it. The result was that everyone procrastinated on decision making, if they even participated in it in the first place, and I knew a fair share of colleagues who didn't even bother to pitch their ideas because of hating the memo system.

In the second org, it was the opposite problem: in an attempt to make memos "painless", there was much less pressure on making the memos "high quality". The result: every "memo" was a hastily scrawled together draft of random notes that didn't make much sense, and we had to spend most time in meetings going over the "memo" to decipher it and have the author explain it anyway.
The word in question is not "neger", it's "svart". Translating to "negro" and "black", respectively. The former has been considered old-fashioned or pejorative for a couple of decades, the latter has only recently become disputed.

The politically correct version for "svart", would be "med mørk hudfarge" ("with dark skin color") or, if you want to push the edge of propritey, "mørkhudet" ("dark-skinned").

And sure. If someone takes offense or are clearly hurt by it, it's not like I'll go out of my way to insult them. But it's five syllables where one would convey the same meaning, without any intention of offense. It's not a hill I'd choose to die on, but as a matter of principle... I'd very much prefer if we wouldn't adopt an excessive fear of insult here.

I'm pretty sure that most people who take offense at this, are taking offense on behalf of others. Which is in itself a somewhat superior or paternalistic attitude that I'm not sure that all minorities appreciate.
tl;dr:

"Does storing bread in the fridge make it last longer? Yes."

But not mentioned is that it lasts even longer if you stick it in the freezer until you need it, because plain bread freezes and defrosts just fine.
SHA1 has a collision, so now it uses SHA256. How long until a SHA256 collision? Shouldn't the new protocol just add support for many modern hash functions, and client updates can disable support for hashes that become insecure later? Or does this introduce its own headaches? That's what SSH does, right?
I wonder if noticing time going by so quickly is an indicator to start doing less. I think boredom could help with self-reflection about how you're living life, and really notice what makes you happy/unhappy. Doing smaller lifestyle correcting could be better than holding it all and having a mid/quarter/yearly-life crisis.

I don't need to be warned about a sound because a similar sound with a different meaning is used in negative ways.
On April 15th (Tax Day), the Long Now Foundation was approved as a recipient of a "$150,000-350,000" Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan, allowing it to retain 21 jobs.

Even without the PPP loan, it's doubtful that the Clock of The Long Now was in jeopardy — Bezos' wealth soared to $200 billion during the pandemic, a new record for the world's richest person.

There are a few things I wish this addressed, but it doesn't. Off the top of my head:

1. the new hash function is going to be broken eventually - what happens then?
2. support for "remixes". It would be nice to reference pieces from another torrent. Example use case: adding subtitles for a movie. Right now it requires either downloading the "main" version of the movie and getting the subtitles externally, or sharing the file from scratch.

A v2-aware client that also supported v1 and hybrid torrents would tick all boxes and be able to participate in multiple swarms (for the same torrent).

The main issue that I see is the existence of millions of torrents in private trackers that would have to be manually updated for v2.

Are people going to bother? I think not. So for me, v2 is practically a new-torrents-only affair.

If you consider ability to work flex hours or WFH as part of your employment package, they don't offer WFH but they do offer more money. Overall comp is still high. What additional data do you need? Relative value of WFH vs cash to various demographics?
The issue is that there's no way to know what this limit is. I understand the cost, but then tell us exactly how many GB I can use at full speed and when does it start to throttle. Instead I have to rely on internet anecdotes.
It ultimately has to be experienced, since it's about dropping/representational out of the discursive mode in which we spend most of our waking time (the default mode network in cognitive science). For me it feels like returning to reality after a VR session. Or like exiting a hall of mirrors. Experience gets imbued with a feeling of stableness, stillness, contentment and appreciation of the simple fact of just being.

Behavioral Economics
I agree. There are a (very) few experiments that show the effect of gravity in a system with strong quantum effects.

Fox example you can split a ray of neutrons, direct each beam through a different path with different height and then make them collide and see the interference pattern. The idea is that the split creates a superposition and each half has a different gravity potential, changing the orientation of the experiment produce different interference patterns. (The details are in the book of Sakurai "Modern Quantum Mechanics" pp127-129, with data from an experiment of Colella, Overhauser, Werner (1975).)

I don't understand why the old experiment was not enough to falsify this theory.
