I had a similar, though certainly not as bad experience. I was sitting with friends at a lookout and I wandered off to take a leak. I jumped over a side fence to give some distance, not realizing that there was nothing on the other side.

I realized what had happened. My thoughts were along the lines of "I'm about to be in a lot of pain, I may as well enjoy it on the way down". I was also horizontal on my back.

It ended up being a 10m drop, so not as big as in this story (I went back and measured it another day). It was soft dirt at the bottom, and there was sort of an indent in the cliff at that point so I missed any jutted-out rocks coming down. When I landed I bit through my tongue and was horribly winded, but otherwise ok.

I am religious but also remember making a firm note on the way down that nothing supernatural appeared to be happening, mostly because prematurely assigning meaning when these things happen tends to annoy me. I don't think I ever thought I was going to die, maybe at 10m I didn't have enough time. I just remember looking intensely at everything thinking I probably wouldn't get the opportunity to fall off a cliff again.
Do you assemble these yourself? I don't really care that much about the console, more about the fun and reward of building it yourself. I see it more as a fun project.
The problem with solarpunk is right there in its name: Nearly everything that gets labeled solarpunk is simply not punk.

Punk music was born as an expression of the cultural and economic alienation of youth in Thatcher's UK. Cyberpunk was the extrapolation of this into a world defined by the trends of the 1980s: accelerating technology that dehumanizes, unchecked globalization, runaway capitalism that leaves a permanent underclass to make do with the castoffs of the elite. Its enduring popularity is no doubt due to the fact that these trends are very much with us today.

Offshoots adapted this to the fears of other eras: Steampunk replaced accelerating solid-state technology with industrial-revolution mechanical technology. Dieselpunk traded it for the terrifying innovations in mechanized warfare of the early 20th Century.

Egalitarian societies living in clean cities powered by sustainable energy are not punk; they are worlds that would lack the need for a punk subculture. They are hopeful, utopian visions – and just as dystopias warn, the value of utopias is to inspire.

Maybe "solar utopianism" doesn't sound as cool as "solarpunk." But calling it what it is will let us appreciate it for what it is.
You can grab a copy of the 8008 User Manual here:

The 'download' link works, after possibly answering a google image captcha.

On pdf page 2 the "features" says the I/O lines are TTL compatible.

On pdf page 15 begins the "electrical specifications" section, and it looks like they just pull the outputs down against Vdd with a MOS transistor (see "Output Buffer" diagram in figure 7).
When I was younger I bought a learn Mandarin book of which at least half was stickers to put on objects around the house, it was surprisingly effective, because every time I opened the fridge for example, I would see the characters and pinyin and say the word aloud.
Technically, even streaming is making a copy.

Yes, that is why streamed content is now generally covered by streaming-specific licenses, as noted above.
The fact that every decision public companies make is done to maximize profits. If Ben and Jerrys didn't cultivate this image they'd just be another company selling overpriced ice cream. Instead I think it's fair to say they're an institution. That's not to say the people running B+J don't believe in the cause they're donating to, I'm sure they do, they just also believe it's good for business.

It just dawned on me that you could use the Vol=Vdd-Vt property of the inverter to level shift up the IO output closer to ground. Especially if one did a circuit that did Vol=Vdd-2Vt one could get a low output that’s pretty close to ground. Is that what they did?

I always find that behaviour somewhat arbitrary, as it was just the British empire that switched from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar that month. Most of mainland Europe already switched around 1582.
It costs money to publish an iOS app in a way that it does not for Android. In addition, the Android app was able to leverage the fact that Anki's desktop app is written in Java. It has nothing to do with an idea that "iOS users are rich". It is easy to recommend Ankiweb instead since it works well enough for mobile.

(I also question whether there are really a significant number of people who type -- at least Latin characters -- faster on mobile than a PC keyboard, but that's a digression)
> President Donald Trump expressed approval of a concentration camp for Uighur Muslims in China during a private meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, according to former national security adviser John Bolton's upcoming memoir

> Xi "explained to Trump why he was basically building concentration camps in Xinjiang," Bolton wrote, citing the interpreter's account. The interpreter added that "Trump said that Xi should go ahead with building the camps, which Trump thought was exactly the right thing to do," according to the book.

> Bolton also wrote in the book that Matthew Pottinger, a retired US Marine and the current deputy national security adviser, "told me that Trump said something very similar during his November 2017 trip to China."

Make no mistake about it, Trump's anti-China rhetoric arises purely out of Xenophobia, not concern for Uighurs or human rights.
To be fair, when you use regular sockets you also don't get much visibility into what your OS is doing, by default. If zeromq provided the information it would definitely be used by app developers misguided to how they are supposed to use it, exactly.
> A language cannot be Turing-complete if it completely forbids non-termination, there is no way around this.

I do acknowledge this. My point is that turing-completeness is not necessarily a desirable aspect of a language. You can check out Agda if you are interested in what can be done with a total language.

For some use-cases, like seting up a mainloop, you need an escape hatch because that mainloop is not going to be total. But not every program needs that. Conversely, a programming language that doesn't care about totality won't be able to sere other use-cases, such as building proven programs. My understanding is that it's much easier to build an escape hatch in total languages, than it is to retrofit non-total languages to prove programs.
The doctor must have been making a bad inference. They must have assumed he had already had been given opiods because he didn't look like he was in that much pain (before the reduction). I wonder if he wasn't guarding his shoulder (because of the spine injury), which would probably make him look like he had already been given painkillers. Dislocated shoulders are incredibly painful if they are in the wrong position. And not particularly painful in the right position.

I can't imagine having a shoulder reduced while having a broken back and ribs (and wrist!). The forces required (and precise positioning) to do it comfortably would be hard if they had a broken back. My shoulder was reduced via the Snowbird method [1], which was not very painful. It requires a ton of force on your spine (and an assistant pulling on you ribs!), so obviously a no-go in this case.

>"Solarpunk," to me, sounds pretty wholesome and very much in line with the direction that society wants to go.

I'm not sure if you're paying attention, but current society wants capitalism and consumption until the earth has been pillaged. For instance, Joe Biden said no fracking after 2050. That's 30 years from now.
This is not true. You are always trusting someone. <-- that is a really really big period. In this case you are trusting the authors of the code which this process runs on. The machines that this code runs on. And last but not least the fact that no one has control over majority of the nodes. You are always trusting someone or something.

> The use-cases for Serverless / FaaS are fairly well-known, but you could use faasd at the edge, in a smart-car, as part of an IoT device, for crunching data before uploading samples to the cloud, for webhook receivers/alerting, bots, webservices, API integrations or even providing your own APIs. Compute is compute, and OpenFaaS with containerd makes it easy to both consume and provide.

Bear in mind that faasd is also used in production where users don't want to maintain a Kubernetes cluster, but do want a few APIs, websites, or functions.
Author of the original post of this thread. Thank you for the detailed explanation. Do you suggest that I upload these screenshots to Wikipedia directly and indicate that these screenshots are available as fair use?

My intention here is to make these screenshots that I took on my computer while playing the game available on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digger_(video_game), so that this Wikipedia article contains a few screenshots of the original 1983 PC booter version of Digger, not just that of the 1998 remastered version.
There's ^H for that.
I'm pretty sure every single game streamed cost more than $2500 to produce (some over $100M), and that streamers are doing it for financial gain, often putting themselves in the highest tax brackets.

More importantly, the law is the law, and it's bad business to detract from that fact.

Twitch isn't any different than the screenshot case... it took art to load the DOSBox programs... sending the right input signals to the various programs to allow the screenshot to be taken.
How is uber and lyft not the goliah when they have billions of dollars poured into them vs the local tax companies...?

Uber is global, your local tax company is not. Plus your local tax company is restrained by you know, laws.

Amazon vs Walmart is also not a good comparison .. I believe this david vs goliah is mostly start up people that think too highly of themselves! In reality you have Google, Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft... all huge companies that have been dominant for decade + and aren't too different from the post.

For what it’s worth, you might not get great answers here. HackerNews readers tend to have a relatively negative view on crypto, and many people involved in the space thus tend to avoid discussing crypto here to avoid accidentally getting into a flame war. If you’re interested, I might suggest reading Coindesk or visiting the Discord or Telegram of interesting projects.
Thanks! I hadn't even considered the possibility of reverse charging really imbalanced cells. Not an issue for anything I use those recovered cells for, but certainly something I'll watch out for.

A centralized messaging platform using blockchain? You may be kidding.

SWIFT has been playing with blockchain for years, always backing off. They had a partnership with Ripple once, some hackatons, a lab dedicated to blockchain. Former CEO even bragged about making bitcoin transactions himself.

There was one corner use case around GPI and R3 Corda announced in 2019, but I doubt it ever was used in production.
Tunneling doesn't mean jumping. The probability wave of the particle does exist inside the barrier, see e.g. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:TunnelEffektKling1.p... So yes, it "tunnels" through the timer field also, but the probability of interacting with the timer field is not zero.

I would be interested if the Lamor clock also shows a shift in the reflected particles. Because that would mean, also the reflected particles spend some time inside the barrier.
It's a bit tricky. From the 8008's perspective, it's running on -14 volts. But the 8008's Vcc (i.e ground) is connected to +5V, and the Vdd is connected to -9V. So when the 8008 outputs a 1 (high), the output is +5V (more or less), which is TTL-compatible. When the 8008 outputs a 0 (low), the output will be negative. Apparently, TTL is fine with negative input voltages, so this is acceptable.

The point is by shifting the 8008's supply to +5V/-9V and ignoring ground, the outputs automatically work with TTL.

Ask HN: Sound multilateration/TDOA with observer privacy
Short version: Hello HN, I'm looking for a solution to do multilateration/TDOA of an audio source with multiple observers, where the location of observers can be kept private.

Long version: There's an increasing amount of illegal and heavy fireworks being thrown around here over the last years, usually starting somewhere early September and lasting through the winter. Loud bangs, scaring kids and pets and damaging public goods. A few years ago I whipped up a proof-of-concept mobile app that detects a sudden increase in audio levels (BANG!), syncs time over NTP and sends a message to a central server with location and timestamp. The server correlates incoming messages and does basic multilateration/TDOA to determine the location of the fireworks.

I'd like to deploy this on a larger scale, offering the app to others as well, as this gets only effective with a larger number of observers. However, I have concerns over disclosing the location of participant - the usual privacy reasons apply here, but also the fact that pro-fireworks-punks tend to threaten the anti-fireworks people and terrorize their neighborhoods with even more fireworks.

I found one paper describing a mechanism and protocol similar to this ("PrOLoc: Resilient Localization with Private Observers Using Partial Homomorphic Encryption"), but this feels pretty heavy and over my head. Also this assumes the observers know the absolute distance to the target location, instead of having a relative time from a common clock, so I am not even sure if this algorithm applies to my problem.

Any insights, theory or papers on this subject much appreciated!
Made in the USA is a bit...of a pipe dream. U.S. cost of living is higher, so prices for all products would skyrocket.

However, there's MANY countries that are NOT China. We could instead certify products against supporting bad regimes, and using slave / prison labor in the supply chain.

Instruct. Explaining it to other people is helpful for developing your ability to express mathematical ideas (any idea really). You'll learn where you're limited in expressing your understanding and be forced to develop the language.
So in a word, timestamping right? Because if you want to have non-renegable contracts then any digital signature will do, and you can sign a commonly agreed timestamp into it like "I will provide service X as of 2020-10-24T21:57:14+0200 <insert signature>". The only thing you can't prove is when it really was signed, sent, published, that sort of thing, and for that a timestamping service can be used (which other comments already mentioned).
Concrete resorbs CO2 from the air after you pour it. This carbonation of concrete can cause corrosion to rebar or other re-inforcments. A large portion of that CO2 is eventually reabsorbed back by the concrete. Depending on the mix this process can adsorb 1/3 to 2/3rds of the CO2 produced during production. However, this is a slow process and we keep making new concrete.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_degradation#Carbonati...

Also there is the all energy used for processing concrete which a lot times is not from CO2 neutral source.

What's everyone's thoughts on this article?
UK did earlier this year, and threatened sanctions. China called it fake news. Not much has happened since.
Thanks! The pin out on page 2 has no ground, so what are they pulling down to? That’s my question. I can imagine a couple of ways to do make the TTL levels so I’m curious which way it was actually done.
Call me cynical but I'm still confused by this.

If the issue is that people are taking cars for joyrides why not just have the car post a route file to a database or to its own computers of all the trips. Are auto suppliers really taking joyrides AND hacking into the computers? If you are capable enough to do that wouldn't it also stand to reason you'd be capable enough to disable any tracking units?
There's a really good reason for that, it would be almost impossible to handle all the dependencies, you would add an entire dimension (time) to the dependency tree and that is a lot of information to process for very limited returns. Most do maintain old release DVD/CD iso and that's about as good as you're going to get if some app you love makes major changes or is completely removed.
When I was kid, I remember my parents yelling at me playing 'useless' games at the end of the street with my 'good for nothing' friends.

When I was a teen, I remember them not liking me watching "too much" of TV and grumbling about reading 'no good' fiction magazines.

Now this.. "get off the phone" advice.

The key is, the choice must come from with-in, like Diogenes of Snopes[1] tells Alexader the great to stand out of his sun.

Until the kids are capable of making the choice or until the kids turn into adults, parents and schools must create an environment that shows descent maker's alternative to phones. This needs lot of work on behaf of schools and sacrifices on behalf of parents.

If the math of this has been known for a while, has anyone done the e2e math of what a FTL communication through this protocol would look like? Seems like it should be a straightforward calculation.

My guess it it is a straightforward calculation, and that it is real. We'll have a hard time dealing with it existentially, but the math will be right and the physics will eventually be shown to correspond.

We'll have something where a particle can be entangled with its past/future self, the future self being affected by the past self and vice versa. And that should be okay. It'll reignite the debate of the possibility of changing the past vs the lack of free will, effect preceding cause, but in a way it will push the "shut up and calculate" forward because it's all math.

At least, that's what I somewhat hope will happen. It kind of reminds me of the relativity revolution. There was an inconsistency in E&M theory due to the constant speed of light, and we invented all kinds of ways to work around that, when it turned out that if you just assume constant speed of light then it worked out. Same thing here, we're philosophically rejecting FTL communication but perhaps the right thing is to accept it, follow the math QM gives us, and recognize that it's possible, that it's all just math, and while it's mind-bending, it's not actually all that spooky. Relativity is just the limit case of zero tunneling.

QM is tricky, as soon as you think you have it cornered with a contradiction, it slips away at the last second.
My guess, we'll discover that yes it is possible in a closed system for a cat to send the signal back in time that triggers the gun that shoots its former self. But it's not possible for that contradiction to escape the system, so upon opening the box, you'll always see a live cat. Or something like that.
Legally, even running a program is making a copy (from disk to RAM):

Yes, that is why 17 USC § 117 provides that making a transitory copy necessary to run the program (such as a RAM copy), or an archival copy of the data needed to run the program, are both explicitly not violations of copyright.

I think the question is whether the license YouTube implicitly provides to copy so one can stream also extends to downloading to a file. Probably not.

It does not. Youtube does not explicitly, or implicitly, provide the user a license of any type. Youtube has licensed the right to provide a temporary copy of a video to a user.

Why that should be youtube-dl's fault is yet another question, of course.

It normally wouldn't be...except that some idiot decided to include unit tests to make sure that youtube-dl could be used to download music videos covered by RIAA licenses. That basically makes the RIAA's case, especially since youtube-dl must be regularly updated to handle Google's countermeasures.
"Inside the barrier, the atoms encounter, and barely interact with, a weak magnetic field. This weak interaction does not perturb the tunneling. But it causes each atom’s clock hand to move by an unpredictable amount, which can be measured once that atom exits the barrier. "
