tl;dr: American tunneling labor is 3-4x as expensive as Europe. There are other factors but this is the big one.

Also, this sentence stood out:

> [for Europe] Infrastructure projects are evaluated and funded based on needs and economic benefits rather than political interests.

Basically saying Europe's not corrupt, America is.
Remember that the RPi SoC isn't primarily ARM. There's a multistage process to boot the VPU/GPU which in turn runs the ARM as a sort of child.

Well it is, because Europe is able to get their labor much cheaper, and those guys ain’t starving.
... no it doesn't. Like not even close.

The best policy is to subsidize vertical farming near population centers until we have such a surplus that we can start slowly reconverting land away from agriculture towards natural forests/plains/etc.

It will be a very long and slow process, but it is a path forward, and there are huge benefits. If we get the technology right, we wont need pesticide, herbicide, etc.
I mean regardless of measurement, the gearbox ratios, engine RPM, and wheel/tire size plainly dictate maximum possible speed.

Why even use GPS for this, as opposed to a known distance and a clock, or an on-site laser (or whatever electromagnetic wave) based system? Seems like using satellites is unnecessarily complex and error prone(esp. civilian GPS).
I'm wondering if it has to do with being in a similar labor market? It may be easy to get cheap labor from cheaper countries. But this is a guess.

My wishlist would be no HDMI at all. Proprietary and licensed, while we have as capable (if not more) options available.
But to organize memory you need some idea of how much you are using (e.g. how big the in-memory hash table is), and be able to free it in a reasonable pattern (e.g. deallocate the whole heap/arena at once). Both things are difficult in rust currently, and memory mapping doesn't help with either.

Memory mapping serves a similar purpose as temp files: a way to tell the OS that it can freely page that out to avoid uncontrolled swapping. But you need to do the organization yourself to keep that access sequential, which is hard to do in rust for the reasons that I mentioned.

If you memory map a hash table and have memory pressure, you'll go into the crazy bad scenario of a page-in for every lookup, which is avoidable with better organization.

I think we are basically in agreement but perhaps my point was not clear.
Fair point. Important point, too. I would merely say that independence gives you the opportunity to create stability. But you still have to make it happen, and it's not as easy as it seems.
Unless I misunderstand git-ssb does this.
Yeah, AFAIK the general thought is that if you're doing something sophisticated enough that you want a good processor, then you clearly have to be a huge manufacturing operation mass producing these things on an assembly line with all the proper equipment, in which case you actually prefer BGA. The only people who want easier to solder packages are hobbyists, who are unlikely to ever make a dent in the market (sadly).
This seems an appropriate topic in connection with the recent posting[0] about Charles Turner. I hope his work appears in the reference list, alongside the Harvard eugenicist. I know which neglected body of work I think is the more significant.

Old iPhone hardware probably has a BOM less than $100.

Giving students a $100 phone + $10/mo of cell internet access for 9mos out of the year pays bigger dividends.

Besides the longest essay you have to write on the ACT, SAT or AP tests is about 300 words. You can do that on a phone - kids do it now on paper.

What if kids cram tests on their phones for a few hours then read books the rest of the day? Maybe take your phone outside. Sounds like a decent enough curriculum to me.

Anyway my point is you don’t really need a keyboard in education. And with that the logic of this stuff as an educational policy kind of goes away.
What effect do yall think this could have on AI? There is literature describing performance advantages of using Fourier transform space for convolutional neural networks

And if anyone has any questions about the US Digital Service, please ask!

It's a really remarkable window of time right now to make government work better for the public using technology and design.
OK - so I don't know - but here is why I said NO:

I've worked in the industry since 1997, with one of my first experiences in 1997 with a double-digit CCIE cracking a cisco 3640 who told me how the NSA required them to place back-doors into all cisco devices - and he was under NDA, but he told me anyway...

Then working at intel...

then working with Mirantis+intel+redhat to build out "secure computing clouds" -- and shortly after, it was revealed that they put the back-doors on the actual intel procs...

And the USA bitched about the chinese back-doors on all Huwai chips...

And intel and Huwai were comepeting on Openstack hardware...

I mean FFS - EVERYTHING is compromised.

Then Snowden happened

Then FB - NSA revolving door...

I have encountered spyware-hardware in everything...

Then built out spying tech with Vizio, Philips, LG...

So yeah - I don't even care about privacy at this point - because it doesn't exist.

Maybe Ryan Lackey, Chris DiBona, or David Sifry can give you more insight...

But fuck - there is no such thing as privacy. So just say fuck it.

Oh, and just to further clarify:

Echelon, Carnivore, AT&T Room 641A [0] --- Guess who was on floor 7 of that building directly above 641A when they were founded -- TWITTER.com

And guess who bought MAE WEST after the patriot act was passed; Cerberus Capital (north first street san jose)

and guess who owned PAIX (Palo Alto Internet Exchange) Where all of stanfords traffic passed through

And guess who was trying to ensure that CARNIVORE was installed all over the place - so they just fn bought the IXs --

Anyway - just assume a FN NO PRIVACY policy - even VPNs are all suspect....

You find legos and arts & crafts infantilizing? I would be all over that, but I'm a 24 year old man so maybe we can't compare so much.

It's definitely a bummer if you're only seeing these kinds of events, but I also think these should be welcomed and encouraged as well. These activities bring kids of all types together and get the creative juices flowing. Why should it not be so for adults? There is countless evidence of controlled experiments demonstrating improved mental health and social connection in participants through these activities.

I recently worked for an educational NGO in India that runs social and emotional learning sessions primarily for underprivileged children but also for many adult clients in industry and public education. Countless documented success stories around self-empowerment in the face of much adversity, including representational. The vehicle that has facilitated this growth? Activities just like this. It just has to be done right to avoid distraction. Passive engagement doesn't do anything. Of course, these sessions were complemented by focus groups and more direct discussion, but in no way was any of this dumbed down by the visual arts.

Have you attended any yet? If not, you might want to give it a chance. Your aversion may just be ignorance. Legos and arts & crafts are not just for kids.
Really wondering how much organized crime has to do with this.
A cochlea? Yes, that does occur naturally, and it does work to allow us to hear different frequencies of sound...

So, now the next question is, could we prove that a cochlea implements a Fourier Transformation? Note that this Fourier Transform isn't applicable to all frequencies, that is, our ears cannot hear vibrations beyond a certain high pitch, so if a Fourier Transformation could be proved, we could almost think of this as a Fourier Transformation inside of a specific range of frequencies...

But anyway, an interesting observation!
That’s because western leaders were more than happy to let China manufacture things ‘over there’ so we could wash our hands clean of the environmental damage our consumer choices were contributing to.
Totally agree we're going into uncharted territory, but does CO2 have a feedback loop like you say? The thermal forcing function is logarithmic, and a hotter earth means a technically wetter and perhaps greener earth, at least in the near-term.

I have no doubt we're all in for a wild ride but I think we know significantly less than forecasting doom for certain.

For those interested there is a cool relationship between a convolution and a Fourier transform:

Any measurement inaccuracy or calibration issue here is going to be <1mph anyway...

It could never explain what was seen. Either someone foolishly read km/h numbers as mph, or the whole thing is faked. Considering the silly animation of the camera view on the video, I suspect the latter...
Would you actually name this feature "drop less important traffic"?
Trey Parker had a similar reaction [0]:

“But when Parker got to see himself digitally altered to look like Al Gore, he said, “It was the first time I had laughed at myself in a long time.”

Parker added: “I always hate watching myself. Even with ‘South Park,’ I have a perfect image of what it’s going to look like in my head all the time. But on this, there were moments where we felt like kids in our basement again.”

To Parker and Stone, the experience also reminded them of “The Spirit of Christmas,” their 1995 homemade short film that became a viral sensation in a more primitive age of the internet and paved the way for “South Park.””

I just think that anything "big" can be used as a tool for political fight in the US. Political filibuster costs time but infra-filibuster costs tax money (massive). Really feel sad about this.

I'm wondering when this began to happen. I don't think this was the case from day 1.
Reverse engineering a published app isn't the same as "spying".

It seems to be just decompiled java code from the official apk. Nothing wondrous there. Anyone can do the same to any Android app.
This is just compiled jars? not even decompiled bytecode or anything? Can't you get all this stuff just by unzipping an APK file?
This reminds me of home computers like the Commodore 64 and the Amiga. That you get all that you need in a ready to go package! Great idea!
Why writers need to learn the skill of leads.
My experience - from doing devops consulting and moving clients off AWS every chance I get - is that it's bad business for devops consultants to move clients off AWS in terms of short term billable hours, because clients spent more money on me when they're on AWS. If I was after maximising billable hours in the short term, then I'd recommend AWS all the time...

As such a lot of devops consultants certainly have all the wrong incentives to recommend it, and these days most of them also lack experience of how to price out alternatives.

E.g. a typical beginners mistake is to think you'd price out a one-to-one match of servers between AWS and an alternative, but one of the benefits of picking other options is that you're able to look at your app and design a setup that fits your needs better. Network latency matters. Ability to add enough RAM to fit your database working set in RAM if at all possible matters. And so on. With AWS this is often possible but often at the cost of scaling out other things too that you don't need.

And most developers won't do it if you don't give them budget responsibility and make them justify the cost and then cut their budget.

Development teams used to AWS tends to spin up instance after instance instead of actually measuring and figuring out why they're running into limits to keep costs down. Giving dev teams control over infra without having someone with extensive operations experience is an absolute disaster if you want to manage costs.

I work for a VC now. When I evaluate the tech teams of people who apply to us, it's perfectly fine if they use AWS, but it's a massive red flag to me if they don't understand the costs and the costs of alternatives. Usually the ones who do know they're paying for speed and convenience, and have thoughts on how to cut costs by moving parts or all of their services off AWS as they scale, or they have a rationale for why their hosting is never going to be a big part of their overall cost base.

The only case where AWS is cost effective is if you get big enough to negotiate really hefty discounts. It's possible - I've heard examples.

But if you're paying AWS list prices, chances are sooner or later you'll come across a competitor that isn't.

> The author of the article is specifically struggling with his evangelism. He says he thinks the world would be a better place if everyone used spaced repetition. I don't know (can't imagine honestly) what sort of utopia he envisions, but he needs to show instead of tell. Just like I need to.

This standard isn't tenable for some things.

For example, I think the world would be a better place if we gave everyone free healthcare. What's that, the standard for this has to be me literally doing the thing I'm advocating for?

In a similar vein, all the author's really saying is "if people cared about learning, and implemented strategies to learn, we'd live in a better world" (a more informed, thoughtful society perhaps). Whether SR actually accomplishes any of that is questionable, but the idea that people continuing to practice to learn will improve the world does not seem like it merits a "show me and I'll believe you" answer.

Just like it's unreasonable to say "well, implement free healthcare, until then I won't believe that it's worth doing", it's unreasonable to say "convince everyone to use SR, until then I won't use it or be convinced". It's an impossible bar.

It's also impossible to lead by example for aggregate behaviors. If you think that a park would be better if everyone picked up dog poop, and you lead by example by picking up all your dog's poop, that doesn't mean you're wrong if other people still don't pick up their own dog's poop.
Ask HN: Paid email service provider for poor people?
In face of the recent discussions regarding Google locking out users for no reason [1], I've decided to look for an alternative email setup. The common advice here is usually something around the lines of Fastmail or ProtonMail with a custom domain. Well, I'm an unemployed student in a third world country where the minimum wage is 150 USD/month. Considering a .com domain registered with Namecheap plus a Fastmail or ProtonMail plan with custom domain support, that would cost around 6-8 USD/month. For comparison, the only subscription I currently pay for (besides bank fees and etc) is Spotify, which costs me 1.5 USD/month with the student plan (I actually split this with a friend).
With that said, what would be the best cost-benefit setup for a safe, personal email service? Thanks.

This works great for a media organization like ours. It's not hard to convince a company that sells power plant control software that anyone who reads utilitydive.com is a good candidate for their ad.

But it's gonna be tough for sites that are "general interest" or even very specific but on a topic that just doesn't have big ad budgets behind it. Our approach also depends on building a recognizable brand in the industry and having a robust in-house ad sales and operations people.

I'm not here to defend programmatic advertising, but I think if/when it goes away it's gonna suck for a lot of small indie sites.
