Fair enough and perhaps in a few years my above comment would reach the same infamous status as the ones made on HN when Dropbox had launched. I wish the founders all the luck, I truly do.

Having said that, my comment was not at all about trivializing the idea or its future potential. A contact list can very well be the trojan horse to launch a new social network/IM platform.

My comment was more about that such founders have deep connections from the point of view of both access as well as availability of resources, have broad and deep insights due to their past experience and are obviously experienced and smart, and as such I would have liked them to tackle harder problems. That is all.

What is the use of Effuel Eco OBD 2?
There is a requirement for individuals to Effuel Eco OBD2 gas as it might last soon as well as also due to the fact that it is choosing the month-to-month expenditure of the person. It suggests that the gas eaten by a persons auto or bike or any vehicle needs to be regulated so that the cash being invested in it can be put to various other locations. This way the gas will additionally be saved which may be utilized in the future. Therefore, there is a need for a cutting-edge manner in which can help to conserve fuel.Click Here https://apnews.com/press-release/ts-newswire/technology-indu...

Hi!

We built this page while iterating on crypto futures trading algorithms, to give us a better intuition for what prices look like across exchanges and how those relationships change over time.

Data is streamed from 4 exchanges that list Bitcoin/USD Inverse Perpetual contracts, through separate WebSocket connections. The combined order book view at the bottom shows price levels and aggregate available volumes. Charts at the top summarise price changes/volume share/current weighted midpoint.

This is still somewhat of an MVP and we'd be keen to hear any thoughts/suggestions :)

We've written a bit more on our thinking behind it here: https://coinlobster.medium.com/coinlobster-live-combined-ord...
Sounds like it's time for the game authors to provide some servers with the compute resources to do this background processing.
Suppose you don't want to use a JS framework in your application, and you instead want to serve HTML and CSS via server-side HTML templating. I do understand the premise (mentioned many times in the comments here) that semantic CSS classes have somewhat limited value when you're doing all your HTML via templating.

Are there CSS frameworks that help with responsiveness, and work well with templating, but are designed to work exclusively with SASS/SCSS and not leave utility classes visible in the compiled CSS? Preferably something that doesn't start with "let's make h1 and p and ul all completely unstyled", and instead has reasonable defaults that let HTML work like HTML?

Which is why I suspect the obsession of education around the world with biological classification dates to the period where most people lived in the country, not in urban spaces. Us city kids, we didn't get to spend so much time in the woods, to see so many different kinds of plants and animals - and the ones we did, we've already known by their laymen names.

Tangential: it would be helpful if schools explained to kids that all classifications are arbitrary, in biology and otherwise. Their value is in being useful, not correct to some magic metadata tags attached to things.

In context of school biology, I wish we spent more time approaching the classification like: "See that thing in the picture? We classify it as X, because it has $property; subtype Y, because it has $different-property; ... subtype ABC, because initially biologists thought this is different from BCD; now we know it isn't, but the classification remains for now". It would all feel much less boring this way.
Essentially the US replicated what the USSR had as state censorship but with private corporations and it is impacting international communication not only US. The best part is that some people think it is for the greater good. When you would like to talk about it you are getting downvoted.

When there is a lack of information, our imagination works. It is taken to the extreme with roguelikes (with ASCII graphics) such as ADOM. Even now, Jupiter Hell (the successor of DoomRL) is less attractive for me because of its polished graphics.

But I think that there is another aspect - polishing gameplay & pace. Contemporary shooters often have too many cutscenes, too many things to add to the story (and equipment, and everything) that distract from instead of complement the experience. The minimalism of games like Doom, with a fast, uninterrupted pace, is still a masterpiece. Fine-tuning mechanics is hard.

I don't own an electric car although I do have space for charging. My office is two miles from home so I could easily manage a week on one charge so a slight inconvenience measured against the 'convenience' of a petrol station would be no big deal for me.

I already despise having to fill up with petrol and always delay it until the last minute so that would be an added incentive for me.

Also, could not public car parks, workplaces, supermarkets, etc be used as public charging points?

In reality, we're talking about no new petrol/diesel cars in 9 years which means second-hand cars will be available for at least 10 years after that. It isn't as if you're being asked to make changes overnight?
As Chinese you don't need to register when you move. There is Hukou system which determine which city/province you belong to (mostly used for welfare system), the system basically require you to have a permit to stay and work in a different province. It was quite strict 30 years ago because of the imbalance between provinces, many migrate workers. Residence address is not important as in western countries (where your bank account links to your residence address). That said, hotels (and netcafes) do need to register customers' ID.
There is definitely support, but it is nowhere near what is documented in FHIR website. You can look at the search capabilities for example : https://www.hl7.org/fhir/search.html.
You made me exhale in amusement at this comment, because it is true to a degree.

Do you think most people don't actually mind this kind of education? I'm asking because I'm baffled this is the way education seems to work in most places and has done for ages . I also assume that something would eventually change if enough people disagreed.

Or might it be because that is still how we think about the employer-employee relationship and the latter's duties - follow orders and ignore your individuality?

> Thus, when your phone clearly indicates say 20% battery remaining, if a high load were to be applied, the last 20% would be inaccessible because the battery sag from the spontaneous high load would cause a reboot.

So, I treat the battery readout as basically a scale of "high / medium / low". This works well with the empirical fact that a 20% readout might in fact last longer than a 50% readout.

What I don't understand is that most other people seem to treat the percentages as meaningful. They certainly aren't based on "time until a recharge is needed", which is what people want. What are we notionally seeing percentages of?
A quaternion is a kind of multivector consisting of a scalar + a bivector (a bivector is an oriented magnitude with the orientation of a plane). You can get one by taking the quotient of two 3-dimensional vectors (a vector is an oriented magnitude with the orientation of a line). Note that a planar “complex number” is the same kind of object as a quaternion, just with the bivector part always oriennted in the same plane.

When people limit themselves to Gibbs-style vectors or to quaternions as a primary formalism what they are doing is pretending that vectors and bivectors are the same kind of object, and this pretense leads to massive amounts of confusion. cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudovector

The biggest thing GA adds compared to quaternions is that the same technology generalizes to higher or lower dimensions and to pseudo-Euclidean spaces (and to generalized Möbius transformations, non-metrical contexts, to modeling points and circles as multivectors, etc.), and there are many vector identities which are awkward to express when you are pretending that vectors and bivectors are the same.

Another advantage is that you don’t need any arbitrary conventional rules about multiplication of {i, j, k}, since typically the basis is specified in terms of orthonormal unit vectors e.g. e₁, e₂, e₃, so that it becomes very obvious how basic bivectors e₁e₂, e₂e₃, e₃e₁ should multiply: (e₁e₂)(e₂e₃) = e₁e₃ = −e₃e₁, etc.
Greed makes people stupid - I think there was even a study, which proved it. And Bitcoin is all about greed and nothing else - it cannot be used for payments (it's slow and expensive) and it has a false promise of privacy.

Sure but the government could do something about it, but they do not, partially because it supports their agenda.

I guess a big factor must be to ask what they would gain. Domestic PR / distraction is one thing, but Crimea also has warm-water ports, and a (largely?) ethnic Russian population.

Eastern Poland has... some farmland, some ancient forests? People with a 5-generation deep tradition of suicidal attempts to kick the Russians out? Whereas the Baltics are sandwiched with Kalinngrad, and some have fair-sized Russian populations, who can be painted as oppressed. That seems much more concerning.

You used to be able to replace/extend ThinkPad parts quite easily. We'd buy base models exclusively and just add extra stick of ram and flip the CD rom to another hard drive or battery - those were super cheap high quality laptops.

> MMS as a protocol that works with everyone

> MMS is the safe fall-back when unsure or if it fails.

Except when it isn't.

The mechanic who services my cars is the only person I know (since at least 15 yrs) who has this strange thing for MMS. He always tries to first contact me with MMS before calling me, and I've never received any of those, not even once.

I never really bothered, but the last time I checked (15 yrs ago), MMS required some additional setup.

So "MMS works for everyone" isn't really a thing

> No I don't. How disingenous. The claim was that it would reduce the cost.

But you agree that it would increase the developer split. Thats good enough for me. Glad you agree that it would increase the developer revenue split.

> At the moment they do.

Ok, and it is still a good thing, that in the moment, for a certain period of time, that developers would get a better revenue split. Thats still good.

> it won't benefit anyone except for EPIC.

I would still rather that a game developer get more of the money that their game makes. Thats still good.

> Also EPIC are buying their way in.

Ok. Even so. That means that in the mean time, developers could benefit from Epic buying their way in. Thats still good.

> That was the agreement between them and the app publisher.

But the agreement could be illegally anti-competitive. Therefore your argument would not be valid in that case.

> They are owed that money

You have no basis for claiming this to be the case, because the lawsuit could still find the arrangement to be illegal, and also the law could be changed later.

> . EPIC want a sea of launchers

If a game company wants to have their own launcher, that should be their right to do so. I would be happy that they get a larger cut, from having their own launcher.

> It is about one large company EPIC trying to force another large company's hand

The precendent that is set would allow other app stores to be on the IPhone as well. Even if you think Epic is doing it for its own benefits, the precent set would allow other game developers or app stores, to be on the IPhone. That helps those groups.

> There will be two dominate app stores.

I still prefer 2 app stores to 1 app store. Also, it would allow a 3rd and 4th or 4th app store to be in the Iphone, if anyone wanted to do that.

> it won't be the indie dev hacker

Well, it would help any indie dev hacker that is now allowed to be on the IPhone, without being forced to go through apple. Those people would benefit.

I don't disagree, though it does come down to cost-benefit. Masks are a no-brainer IMO; they're cheap & data generally leans towards them having some level of efficacy even at the lowest ends of the cost-spectrum (ie cloth coverings), and they appear to have rapidly-increasing efficacy as the cost-spectrum value rises (ie N95+, respirators, etc).

I should have included the last sentence from that paragraph in the study, because it's pretty concise:

"Therefore, careful consideration should be given to the cost‐benefit of implementing such measures."

IMO it'd be impossible & fruitless to attempt to get even moderate numbers of businesses to do health & temperature screening, much less small businesses; it's just cost-prohibitive, and with the benefit being mediocre at best, there are likely better places to allocate resources.
I have never nderstood people buying Apple.

Some people here mention paying a premium for a premium service but i dont see it:

- best case scenario you buy a tech which is 1 year ahead in quality, but if you buy a computer for min 5 years this reasoning makes not so much sense to me.

- you still have a thousand limitations such as games, compatibility with other devices, being locked in and the planned slowdown of devices when new releases are here..

Most people i know who had apple computers or phones did not even buy it for argument 1. They were just laypeople who just bought it because they thought it was cool, and actually were surprised by all the limitations afterward.

To apple only made their money on the power of FAME and "coolness" only. I dont see how the "product" has ever been any better at any point. (Ok except the iphone in the first smartphone years.)

> it's no different from buying a house on a mortgage.

It's very different.

The mortgage equivalent would be an investor taking out a loan to buy out the mortgage, transferring the deeds of the house to themselves. And then transferring the loan into the mortgage-payer's name and making him responsible for paying it off.

They've really done nothing except use their superior credit status as abritage to obtain a tangible asset.

There’s no sun in the winter for solar, and the winds are often too high for wind power - they’ve got I think three turbines over at Scott, just around the corner from McMurdo, but they only cover a small percentage of their power - the rest is diesel.

They tried nuclear at McMurdo, way back when, and ended up with 10,000m3 of contaminated rock they had to export, as the aptly named nukey poo was a bit... poo. Poor reliability, not much power, lots of contamination. All that’s there now is a plaque and an NSF rad monitor a little bit up Obs hill.

In Antarctica, geothermal would probably be the most reliable renewable power source for somewhere like McMurdo, as they’re practically on Erebus - but way out in the interior, you’d have a few km of ice to contend with before getting to any kind of geo-anything.

Weirdly, I was walking along behind a tractor yesterday, and found myself enjoying the stink of diesel fumes - it took me a few minutes to realise why - it’s the smell of Antarctica, minus the Penguin shit, as practically all power there comes from burning diesel!

As to a Mars analogue, the dry valleys, just over the sound from McMurdo, are pretty close, and a lot of research of the “will it work on Mars?” type is carried out there - much of the Viking hardware was tested out in Taylor Valley, for instance.
I can't believe how much of an echo-chamber these discussions get. Its like proper politics - once people chose their branch of religion, be it faith in god or in their phone manufacturer, they go to great lengths to twist reality so that their favorite comes always as good guy. Cognitive dissonance anybody?

I have no stake at this topic, never owned an Apple device and I don't feel other manufacturers are significantly better, but its a bit sad to see so much apologism at otherwise great place like HN. Or its just paid comments either from employees or otherwise employed, I mean we're still just on general internet and its still 2020 so its unfortunately pretty normal.

In any case, if you guys try to defend these seemingly amoral actions of Apple, the real effect is exactly opposite.
There were two system in the past: hotels for foreigners, designed to take passports and hotels for citizens, taking only IDs. There has been recent national system upgrades, now Chinese can use passport as identification (although still not universally). Since last year, you can use passport to check in high speed rail stations (maybe still not all of them) without queueing up in exchange for a real ticket. The direction is clear. It is a big IT system with different departments, I can imagine the problem will be gone in the future.
