They won't have zero value after 10 years. But depending on how much the battery wears out, and how much tech and costs advance during that time it could make sense to put in a replacement battery with better than OEM performance. This happens to an extent now with hybrid vehicles, you can get an upgraded battery pack for about $2k all in. An OEM battery is $2500 plus labor. Tesla retail price for a replacement battery is $16k right now, aftermarket for EV would be less. Even factoring in the full OEM price for maintenance, once you account for all of the other maintenance and fuel cost an EV is price competitive overall.
Also plastics scratch more easily. Something like plexy glass also breaks pretty easily similar to normal glass. Poly carbonate is much stronger but also quite expensive even when compared to normal glass. It also scratches easily.
1. Correct, my point was to emphasise that the implementation is the same. I've just updated it, thanks!

2. We often make the assumption that pages can be flushed to disk atomically, which is not very far from true on modern disks. Because the only update that really needs to be atomic is for these tables, they're all stored on one page. Since these pointers are all 64 bits in size (since 4k = 2^12, 12 bits in each of these are 0s), after a header of a few bytes, that leaves about 500 positions. The first few are probably more often atomic than the last ones, especially on very old disks.

3. It's still very important, but less so, because the Pijul repositories are much lighter on disk. Copying 1Mb is fast, but copying 100Mb is 100 times slower. I still like this feature, because (1) it costs almost nothing extra and (2) I really like the implementation.

This video is based on a different paper from 4 years earlier and it uses a different technique.

If you read the new paper, one of the main properties of the new technique is that it does not affect the wood lignin, so that the final transparent wood has the same properties, almost, as the original wood. In this video you linked to, the techique involves completely removing the wood lignin (see 4:08). Clearly not the same thing.

Another huge difference: in this video, the wood is dropped into a boiling chemical solution for 12 hours. In the new paper, the solution is brushed onto the wood at room temperature, then the wood is left exposed to UV light (which can come from natural Sun light) for just one hour.

The video uses boiling, distilled water to wash the wood (for only around 15 minutes), then hydrogen peroxide (in an awkard attempt at removing the lignin left) after the chemmical treatment of the wood, while this paper just mentions using ethanol (5 hours immersion) to remove just the chemical solution from the previous step.

The video mentions that after all this, the paper it's based on says they still need to boil the wood into a 8% peroxide solution (the video author decides to use much less, though, at 3% due to "foaming" problems) until the wood turned white, after which they use ethanol to remove the chemicals. In the new paper, this step doesn't exist at all. The UV light is enough to achieve that and the wood had already been washed with ethanol.

Only the last step, using vacuum to infiltrate epoxy into the wood, seems to be similar between the two different papers (though the author of the video did not have a very good techique to do that... both papers are quite lean on details, so the author of the video can't be blamed here).

I mention all this because you and other people in this thread are choosing to dismiss this new paper based on a video about a completely different paper, using a totally different methodology, which shows that you're either trying to intentionally present misinformation to HN readers, or that you didn't bother to read the new paper at all and just assumed nothing new in it.

Please avoid such behaviour in public forums, the last thing we need is more disinformation and lack of depth in our dicussions.

You've dismissed (or are perhaps not aware of) a substantial chunk of winter climbing with this analysis: so-called "water ice" (as opposed to "alpine ice") climbing. Waterfalls.

For most people in Guangdong, Cantonese is at most a spoken language. They learn Standard Written Chinese with Mandarin pronunciation at school and if they want to write down something said in Cantonese, they might substitute characters of equivalent meaning (e.g. 是 instead of 係) or with similar pronunciation instead of the "official" characters used in Hong Kong.

The Hong Kong government is not much different. Their actual language policy is "Chinese and English are the official languages of Hong Kong. Committed to openness and accountability, the Government produces important documents in both English and Chinese. Correspondence with individual members of the public is always in the language appropriate to the recipients. Simultaneous interpretation in English / Cantonese / Putonghua is made available to meetings of the Legislative Council and Government boards and committees as needed." https://www.csb.gov.hk/english/aboutus/org/scsd/1470.html

So they recognize Cantonese and Putonghua as different spoken forms, but only one written language. I've never seen a Hong Kong government website offer translation into both Cantonese and Mandarin, it's always just Standard Written Chinese with a choice of Traditional or Simplified characters.

Most written Cantonese content on the internet is probably produced by Hong Kongers in informal contexts such as forums, but then it's not clearly marked as such and might be mixed with Standard Written Chinese and English.

I think the largest collection of monolingual Cantonese text is probably Cantonese Wikipedia (which is small) and the largest collections of translated Cantonese I'm aware of are even smaller: Tatoeba with 6095 sentences https://tatoeba.org/eng/sentences/show_all_in/yue/und and CantoDict with 1547 sentences http://www.cantonese.sheik.co.uk/scripts/examplelist.htm

But there might be larger datasets I'm not aware of, which is why I was asking.

A person having an an immune system that can be vaccinated with traditional vaccines (including mRNA), while not developing meaningful resistance (such that a second infection isn't serious even if possible) from an infection where they needed antibodies, doesn't seem very likely. And if they were treated with antibodies once, they could probably just use them again, so it doesn't seem important.

Nevertheless, it would still be moderately impractical in the sense that a vaccination immunity should (probably?¹) be more effective than immunity after an infection, but it may not properly develop until the vaccine is administered without (much) antibodies present.

¹ is there any evidence or a sound supported theory that a coronavirus vaccine is more effective and/or long lasting than immunity after an infection?

I added this statement: "Keep in mind this is a demo app subject to change in the future. You can download your docs at any time." as a warning to anyone who might be using this site with expectations that the data will be persistent.

Ultimately I figure the only solution for a production app is to either do a better job educating users on these issues, or scrap the offline persistence selling point entirely (and just rely on it as a cache).

Bandcamp is 15%, Leanpub is 20%, right? (For sales alone, leanpub also seems to be a lot about the publication process, i.e. how to get the book made, not just selling a finished PDF/epub)

Another interesting shop I've discovered for me within the last year is itch.io. It's mostly for games, but I found out that this includes more and more tabletop role-playing games as e-books. The site is responsive, the individual "store fronts" often have unique customizations, and payment/downloads works reliably. And the RPG PDF market is similarly dominated by a single entity (drivethrurpg), so getting away from that feels good, too.

They also feature an interesting revenue sharing option, where you're deducated the payment processor fees (stripe,paypal) directly, but after that the amount you pay to itch.io is totally customizable (and even their default is just 10%).

There's also a culture of "pay what you want" publications and people paying more than what's asked for. This is partly due to publications often being smaller and more frequent, instead of big honking monographs. As opposed to the programming/entrepreneur market, where e-books often seems ridiculously overpriced for what you get ("here's slightly value-added rephrasing of the react tutorial, that's $49, please").
Are you about this? Last time I've checked SSH SOCKS5 only supports TCP traffic, UDP isn't supported and needs extra steps through tools like socat to wrap UDP in TCP.

The UK quite correctly determined during WWII that to feed the population during a blockade, it was much more efficient to eat potatoes and peas and so on directly and make bread from wheat, than it was to feed livestock for meat and dairy.

That is as true today as it was back then. Especially when you're feeding the cattle soybeans, which are perfectly good food for humans.
One can further tunnel SSH inside of TLS with Stunnel [0] to get through firewalls that block SSH but permit arbitrary TLS connections. Loading a website through this requires three layers of TCP but assuming the connection is good this should be okay.

A couple reasons for a regular VPN: they can be made automatic and persistent so the tunnel is always ready for use, they can tunnel other protocols besides TCP, they can tunnel entire networks, and using UDP as the tunnel protocol helps avoid the TCP-in-TCP congestion issues.

I ended up syncing the data to the server, and emailing the user with a "magic link" with the decryption/auth keys in.

To begin with I didn't store the encryption key, but too many users lost the original email, so now I also store the user's encryption key, which is lame from a privacy point of view, but for most users is what they expect.
There is not a great need to minify many languages other than Javascript. The way I see it, the need arose mainly because it took such a long time to agree on a bytecode representation of JS.

I would say that Javascript was not at all designed to be delivered the way that it is. The design characteristics of JS that allow minification, I think are just happy coincidence.

Consider that Javascript early on was marketed as a companion to Java (applets). Java, of course, used a bytecode representation to deliver programs on the Web from square one. If Javascript had been designed for efficient delivery of "compiled" programs, bytecode would have been the obvious choice.

I think my point is, languages are not generally designed to minify well, because minification is the technique of last resort for efficient delivery.

Stunnel and ssh tunnels don't put TCP inside TCP so it shouldn't risk any TCP-in-TCP congestion issues?
So if the AZ vaccine was the only vaccine available to save Americans’ lives (which it’s not) and it was 100% effective (which it’s not) and the FDA delayed its rollout by a month, by your argument the FDA’s delay would have caused 105,000 (3500 x 30) unnecessary deaths.

1. Those numbers don’t work. There are other vaccines in play which can have a disproportionate impact on the death rate if they’re properly targeted at people at highest risk of severe infection. You don’t need herd immunity to prevent most deaths.

2. I’m still not seeing the ‘two million’ deaths you mentioned?

It’s not actually being slow once submissions are made . As said, other vaccines were approved more quickly. And if you want a comparison, it’s acting much more quickly than the EMA seems to be.

> What is the reason why Lisp allows you to use the hyphen for an identifier name?

Lisp has only ~7 special characters: (, ), #, ', ", ` and wite-space. All others are valid as part of an identifier, alone or together. So for example "---" is a valid Lisp identifier, just as much as "aaa".

There is no subtraction operator in lisp. "-" is simply the name of a function in the standard library that implements addition (technically, it might be a special form and not a function, but that's beside the point).

> This overloads the subtraction operator. And it makes the code very confusing to read.

a-b-c in Lisp is unambiguously an operator. Subtraction would be (- c b a) - you can't really confuse these two.

Subjectively, I happen to think that hyphenated-names are much easier to read and type than camelCase or snake_case. I think most of the world agrees as well, since this is one of the more common typographical roles of the hyphen: joining words, such as 'pre-approved' or 'ill-defined'.
That comes in very handy. Bookmarked.

- Devs can be dicks to each other

- Managers can be dicks to devs and vice versa

- Devs need to get outside more, not just when travelling to work

- Devs should look up and not play games at lunchtime

- Devs should not eat their lunch at their desk

- Devs should enjoy good coffee but not be weird about it

- Devs should mix with others in the company, even sales and admin

- Devs should leave their work at work

- Devs should go outside to places where they can find a partner

- Devs should say hello to people when they arrive in work

- Devs should say goodbye to people when they leave work

- Devs should either walk, run, climb, garden, chop wood, sail, fish, build and/or go out for dinner at the weekend.

Got it.

Not sure if this was clear here, but when you create an account on this site, the docs do sync to a server automatically. The encryption key is derived from users' passwords (Userbase handles that part). This way if users lose their locally persisted data, so long as they still have their password they're good to go (or vice versa). It's only if they lose both that they lose their data.

But still, given your experience, it does sound like it would be challenging to sell an exclusively offline product using browser storage. Appreciate the insight.
Plenty of non-white people are libertarian. It’s in the interest of mainstream political parties to say it’s only an ideology of straight white males as a way to dismiss it. But this simply isn’t true.
