- The grid where I am is 90% non-CO2 emitting; nuclear and hydroelectricity with natural gas supplimenting it. We phased out the last of the coal plants 15 years ago. More places should, the air quality in the whole province improved markedly after.

- I drive a car with a small 14kWh battery, and a backup ICE for when I need it. 90% of my miles are electric. I don't understand why this model isn't more popular. I see no need to drag around a 60kWh battery "just in case" I need that extra range.

- Lithium isn't the huge environment/social problem really. Basically big evaporation ponds in desert areas. There's even some work being done to pull lithium out of abandoned oil wells in some locations. Some of the other components are a problem, such as Cobalt in some formulations. But all these formulations can be played with. And they are one-time for the whole vehicle, rather than requiring continual extraction. And can be recycled. Can't recycle petroleum or hydrogen.

Meanwhile the only practical sources for producing hydrogen require fossil fuels, typically natural gas, and end up emitting CO2. Emitting CO2 is not necessary for EV usage. But most practical sources of hydrogen do. And the efficiency is far lower.

Ask HN: Best Apps/Systems to Organize Reading Material
Does anybody have suggestions for apps or systems to organize reading materials? Eg. articles, papers, books and notes. Right now I use Pocket, but it's pretty much to read a quick article and throw it away. I've kept lists of papers/articles in Trello or Evernote, then I'll make notes in Evernote. I use Kindle to read books and then I translate highlights into light notes in Evernote. It's a bit of a pain though moving between the apps, and I've lost some faith in Evernote lately.

I'm looking to organize and keep track of past articles and keep lists of things to read by categories. Before I invest more into the tagging/list features that Pocket has, I'm curious to see what other people do.
To specify further: this is a problem in Teslas with autopilot 2.0+ hardware, where they switched from 1 front facing camera to 3. That left no room for the Bosch rain/light/humidity sensor, so they put developed their own light/humidity sensor, but still didn't have enough room for rain sensing hardware. The solution was left up to the autopilot team since it was assumed (wrongly) that sensing rain using a camera was easier than using specific optical sensors designed for the task.

Source: I worked on the replacement TH sensor.
Since there is no NAT in an IPv6 deployment unsafe services you typically want to prevent access to look like non internal ranges. Whereas in your normal IPv4 deployment you might have your protected service on 192.168.4.111 with IPv6 it will just share the same prefix (potentially) as your host.

Although I oppose cancel culture, I wish more people pressured Netflix into airing such documentaries.

However, Netflix did produce an excellent docu on Jeffrey Epstein, so perhaps they chose to forego this docu for other reasons than it being controversial in some areas.

The idea was around, it just wasn't very practical at the time due to various constraints on engine size and component layout. It was simpler to keep the driving and steering wheels separate. The stereotypical American car with a huge V8 filling the engine compartment and an equally massive transmission wouldn't leave much space to route the driveshafts[1].

Also, FWD requires a differential too.

This is something more companies need to realize: Yes, you should be easily and quickly reachable by phone so that when (not if) things go wrong, I can get good service and resolve it quickly.

But if I'm calling you, you have most likely already failed. If I'm calling for information, your documentation has failed to make that information accessible (it either wasn't documented, or not easy enough to find). If I'm calling to resolve an issue (technical or billing), it would have been a lot better if it didn't happen in the first place.
I am starting to see this myself. I had to send back a lot of my toddler's Christmas toys due to "good" reviews which were obvious fake. The quality and scale of the toys received was horrible (think dollar store quality). The amount of garbage you have to wade through is becoming concerning.

Netflix is available in 190 countries [0]. That's an advantage over a traditional distributor. But it ties their hands on what kind of content they can make. A large enough country will certainly hold sway over what's allowed to be on Netflix, even if they only air it elsewhere.

Apple TV+ is an even bigger problem because of Apple's dependence on China. Doesn't matter if Apple TV+ is even available there. It simply cannot produce content that China finds objectionable. China has chastised companies for much less [1] [2].

What's happening in Yemen is a tragedy from a human and from a humanistic pov, and it is very obviously underreported in what we call mainstream media. That doesn't do the topic justice, and in a polarized world, to do the topic justice may well be called "to say the truth".

I'm terrified of Apple's strategy here. It's a clear message that the strategy of independent manufacturers and vendors is far less effective, at least in a modern context. We're going to see Apple eating up increasing amounts of the market, which is concerning when I particularly care about freedom and Apple is all too eager to lock everything down. We're going to see other companies increasingly look to vertical integration on a scale that we haven't seen in decades. In 50 years, there might not even be any independent manufacturers anymore. Either you buy in to the Apple stack or whoever owns the only other competing stack, if one exists. We'll get to reminisce about the good old days when we could still choose which GPU/CPU/MB/RAM/etc to buy from which manufacturer for the price that we prefer.
> This is not true in general. There are older models that which cannot run linux. A few years back I uncessfully tried to flash a very minimal <1 MiB linux on an old TP link router. I was able to flash the rom but I couldn't boot, because there was not enough memory available.

How long ago was "a few years ago"? What model number was that? DD-WRT has been ported to the Archer series but if you're talking a ZyNOS based router then you're probably out of luck. Those ZyNOS devices are the real bottom end of the market though. Even the ISP routers here in the UK are generally a step up from those. Particularly these days now that households have an expectation to have kids playing online games, streaming Netflix and such like (even before COVID-19 hit ISPs have been banging on for ages about how their routers allow you to do more concurrently). And with TP-Link, the Archer series are all Linux based or Linux compatible and they start from ~£50. So you'd be really scraping the barrel to find something that wasn't these days.

> I agree that perfromance will be problematic, but this does not render microkernels useless in general for constrained devices.

Any OS designed around kernels, memory safety etc would be useless in general for constrained devices. This isn't an exclusively Linux problem. On such systems the whole design of how software is written and executes is fundamentally different. You don't have an OS that manages processes nor hardware, you write your code for the hardware and the whole thing runs bare metal as only one monolithic blob (or calls out to other discrete devices running their own discrete firmware like a circuit). That's how the N64 works, it's how embedded devices work. It's not how modern routers work.

In 2020 it's hard to think of a time before operating systems but really that is the way how the N64 works. Anything you run on there will eat up a massive chunk of resources if it's expected to stay in memory. So you might as well go with a tiny monolithic kernel and thus shave a few instructions from memory protection and symbol loading (not to mention the marginally smaller binary sizes due to any file system metadata, binary file format overhead and other pre-logic initialisation overhead (such as you get when compiling software rather than writing it in assembly). If you're going to those lengths though laumars point kicks in: you're better off just writing a "bootloader" menu screen rather than a resident OS.
Conversations are different from documentaries in that they require two or more people, whereas documentaries is someone talking at you.

As for media, there are different mediums of media that allow for more trickery. For example, if a documentary says so-and-so did X, it would take some while after viewing the documentary to check if so-and-so really did X. You are putting faith with the people creating the documentary to tell you the truth. Whereas, good non-fiction books lay claims with sources to back the claims, so you can immediately go to the source to see if the claim is really true.

Also, video can be a very emotionally salient medium, thus may impede your more rational modes of thinking.

Note: I am not against documentaries, nor is this a take on the Khashoggi documentary.
A step-by-step guide for making sense of 2020
I think he wants to spread awareness that people in power can use technology and medicine to widen the class divide, and biotechnology shows signs of going that direction.

I think that a biohackers’ line of reasoning goes: the same way that some pills once existed as ground-up herbs, today’s biotech (and vaccines) started as ground-up biomaterial.

Of course people have been hurt from eating herbs and injecting biomaterial, so testing and quality control will always be a massive issue.

I still see a biohackers’ rebuttal, however: sometimes people are hurt by their own cooking, or restaurant food, so the issue of quality control among mass-distributed biomaterial is not totally new, and not insurmountable.

A lot of those issues are fundamental to mailing lists and e-mails. They do apply.

Having text formatting tools is really useful when communicating things. If you don't need it, okay, that doesn't negate its usefulness for others.

DKIM/DMARC/SPF. The rest of your paragraph is tangential, applies to the entire world and all tech where identities come to play, with a few smaller exceptions.

You do realize that's an absolutely ridiculous demand, it's up to the project to have a configuration they like.

That's a feature, not a bug.

Yet in so many others it lags so much behind. In all the aspects you very conveniently did not address in your last comment.

> Microsoft disables (without notice) GitHub accounts of anyone who's a citizen or a visitor of the geographic places

There are more options out there in addition to GitHub.

That's a very absolute statement. Just calling it "superior" would've been a stretch, "far superior" is borderline delusional.
There are plenty of other branches of engineering with similar reliability goals. When I eat my lunch with a fork, I expect the prongs of the fork not to fall off... And so far, in my whole life of using forks, the prongs have never fallen off. The fork has been 100% reliable. It has always worked.

And before you say a fork is unrealistically simple, a metal fork is still the result of centuries of metalworking, casting, mining, etc. I'm sure some early forks did fall apart. But now, we have it refined, and they're close enough to bug-free.

I think the way to achieve it is to have a fixed feature set that you never add to.

What you said about social media is absolutely true wrt to trying to have nuanced conversations. It is not true when it comes to fact gathering. For example, my own opinion of Khashoggi changed when I read twitter posts from people I follow for completely unrelated reasons but who happen to have known him personally.
