I have a OnePlus 8t since last october and have not found any issue on the battery side. On the contrary I'm quite pleased with battery management since i can charge it in 30 minutes from 0 to almost 100%, so usually i just charge it for 5-10 minutes and I can use it all day easily.

With full charge on average I get around a day or two without recharging with mostly firefox, youtube, messaging apps open and some light gaming.

Battery saving mode gets me almost 1 hour more of usage when I'm at 15%

Haven't really had any signal problems and 5g isn't that much of an improvement around where I live so it's not really a concern for me but ymmv
Sure, but Bitcoin's wealth and access is also very concentrated. If you replace USD with BTC, you still have a power imbalance, just a slightly different one.
Pretty sure Amazons entire backend is C++. Hard to get much bigger than that.
I'm sorry you have not found a use case. I assure you one exists, as myself and many other folks have found it.

No, I won't share my use case with you. You have to find it for yourself. There is plenty written about it if you have an open mind.
You know what actually bothers me the most about all crypto-currencies?

None of them are actually money, like in the paper-or-gold-coin sense. They're all ledgers.

The thing about money is that I can hand it to someone. Possession of the money is possession of the money and third parties don't need to get involved in every transaction. I can hand someone dollars and take a sandwich and walk away, transaction done.

The problem with a digital currency, of course, is that when you hand someone a sequence of bits, they don't go away from you, so you can hand that same sequence of bits to another person.

The "solution" people came up with to this problem was to not solve the problem, and instead solve a different problem, how to have a distributed ledger.

Which is like, neat and all. But also infuriating. We don't have crypto-currencies, we just have crypto-banks.
Sure. Company wide email: "Careful with these demographics: make sure to re-interview them before joining your team, they might not have had a proper technical screen."

The lawsuit would be hilarious.

Fully vaccinated people can:

- Visit with other fully vaccinated people indoors without wearing masks or physical distancing

- Visit with unvaccinated people from a single household who are at low risk for severe COVID-19 disease indoors without wearing masks or physical distancing

- Refrain from quarantine and testing following a known exposure if asymptomatic
I think it depends on what you intend for it to be used for.

The reductionist view of it is that it's a workspace for crunching numbers. But in practice, Excel is sometimes used like a frontend for a database engine, with sometimes heavy scripting to integrate into software processes and workflows. I think Excel's ability to stretch beyond what anybody would still reasonably consider the scope of "spreadsheet software" is why Excel is as entrenched as it is.

I don't think many programmers see it as a safe or ideal way of handling the kinds of workloads that people use it for, but I think we all acknowledge its unmatched ability to let non-programmers automate data crunching.

Looks like a cool project! There's no network functionality in wcp at the moment, but it's definitely something I'd consider adding in the future.
It may be trusted by the store or the payment provider but I most certainly don't trust the terminal in a random store. It could be fake or modified and I would have no way to know. I can't trust it to show me the correct amount.
Security is not usually the main use case of a service, but a necessary feature of one. Bitcoin can do many things, and its main use case right now is store of wealth, so with your examples you've demonstrated you don't understand its most basic function.

When you notice that multi billion dollar transactions of Bitcoin are made every blue moon you might not be scoffing at what its security protocol is providing it.
Seems better to have more elections than be stuck with someone for 4 years without any chance of recall. How is more elections worse than fewer?
you've implicitly bought into the finance perspective, but it's not the only valid perspective by a long shot. consider at least the humanist perspective that people need to live in housing, and that it's not all about money and wealth. this is a critical weakness of many economics perspectives in relation to how the world really works, and an active area of research in economics.
> Technology is deflationary, things should get cheaper because we go after producing them in creative ways one demand is high.

And as a consequence the wages you earned by making tech year ago should have less value than the wage you earned today. You should expect small inflation. If you want deflationary money, wages should decline year by year.

If you want to save, don't hold cash.
AFAIK, no such thing as a particle as traditionally discussed exists at the subatomic level. A ‘particle’ is really a quantum excitation of the appropriate field. At least that is how we learned it in particle physics using current field theory and Feynman diagrams

What non-spreadsheet programming languages/environments do you think work better than Python/Jupiter?

I’ve been fairly happy with the default Matlab IDE personally. Visibility and representation of data has the straightforwardness of a spreadsheet. But surely there must be others?

One can debate the merits of the claims in the article, but “flagging” this article is a bit disturbing. Yes I know it’s HN policy that users can flag any article for any reason, but perhaps this policy should be modified since it stifles nuanced discussion.
Yes, absolutely that is my understanding of immutability. It's why I asked the performance question, but Immer docs are convincing, I see your point.

Not a surprise to me that mwestrate is the author after seeing the description of Immer - he has an excellent graph knowledge and applies clever architectures & optimizations from that.

I recognize it's completely different from how MobX works, I simply mean to say that I feel MobX is superior and this mere idea of mutability / copying instead of smartly updating a graph and correspondingly only the observer portions of your UI seems like the core of that
I agree with many of these points, here are some thoughts on how we deal them:

> Most enterprises are wary of handing over control to a vendor

Great point, we do have the Enterprise version, which is self-hosted.

> Do you find a lot of Lisp/Clojure devs out there for when you need to expand?

We won't hire engineers based on the language they know, but instead in general engineering skills, and they can learn Clojure here (already worked for the first one:)

> You still have to audit those things

Yes we do, but mostly to trigger alerts if anything happens there and to show that the accesses are either from Runops or the applications during audits. This is way lighter than relying on these as the source of truth for trails.

I'm curious about the Change Management features you think are missing. We do have review workflows and other CM-related features I didn't add here, this demo shows some of it: https://see.runops.io/videos/demo
> are already searching for the wrong tool from the beginning

Agreed, that's why I wrote "realizing" and not "having". Some devs use Redux as a hammer when they actually need a screwdriver - they just don't know better.
>Moreover for the vast majority of people on earth would still have basically zero money relative to the emerging bitcoin oligarchs. It would be a grossly unequal society, where there would need to be some non-math-based approach to getting money from the wealthy to redistribute to the less fortunate.

Those oligarchs won't be able to print more bitcoin or exclude (sanctions) their political enemies from conducting trade. Seems fairer than the current system.
> One should not, and cannot afford to, use transnational conglomerate controlled platforms for building a small business.

I think slightly differently here. Building tools to leverage these platforms seems like a really easy way to generate some revenue. I think relying on that revenue is the problem. So many companies build just one revenue stream. When that revenue stream is interupted or destroyed the company is destroyed. The whole do one thing and do it well is the core issue, do one thing until you reach a certain point and start doing another thing, and repeat.
That’s not remotely true for US corporate work. Companies want to protect their investments - progressive discipline policies are set up with the intention of avoiding the liabilities and wastefulness incurred by the hasty decision making of a single individual. Most companies reserve their “at-will” status, but in practice getting fired on the spot for an exception or omission (non-criminal) is pretty rare. Usually there’s a layer or two before outright termination. It took me years to appreciate the fact that my skills and knowledge made me more valuable to a company than a single screw-up could overshadow. Took a lot of stress and anxiety off my shoulders when I did.

That's what worries me too.

The problem with applying CPI to an individual's situation is that nobody is average across several dimensions. One person might live in the midwest an have experienced next to no housing inflation, modest food inflation, and be heavily reliant on gasoline (which has gone down in price over 10 years) due to rural living.

The same person living in Seattle might see housing prices double since they rent, food prices explode, since they live in a gentrifying area where low-cost grocers are replaced by high-end organic ones, and gasoline might not be a huge component of their spend because they drive a beater Prius 15 miles a day.

Those are two people, buying pretty similar things who experience inflation very differently than "average." Luckily, the BLS does provide different CPI figures to account for different groups of people -- for example only looking at inflation data for Seattle -- but people generally never discuss those.
There is the "Integration Tower" structure at the south side next to the new orbital launch pad. If the plan is to catch and re-fly then that would make sense.

How? Subsea power cables, optical fiber, and pipelines (?). Midsize autonomous ships providing a cost effective alternative to truck and rail transport. Promotion of English as the lingua franca. Policies that attract new talent and promote the free movement of goods and people between new coastal charter cities. Partnering with people in the same boat (or sea).

Adam Smith not only promoted specialization but also extending the "reach" of trade. Politicians have the power to ruin things but they only succeed when riding the coat-tails of talented makers. I'd focus on promoting the makers rather than punishing past ruiners. Nihilism is never the answer.

I may be wrong but my understanding is that this is just a limitation of Gmail's IMAP implementation. Every IMAP client I've tried so far displays tags as separate folders.
> I wonder why this olive branch of “right to exist” doesn’t also extend to the Palestinian government?

The right of a homeland for the Palestinians has been recognized since before Israel was even granted statehood by the U.N as part of the two-state solution.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-state_solution

The PA has been recognized since the Oslo accords in 1995.

Hamas in the Gaza strip is not recognized by Israel and its allies, but Hamas does not recognize Israel's right to exist:

And again I am reminded of the joke, "Computer Science could be called the post-Turing decline in the study of formal systems."

> this notion [of programming paradigms] sits ill with Kuhn’s classic conceptualisation of a scientific paradigm as a dominant world view, which supersedes its predecessors through superior explanatory power.

That much is (almost trivially) true: all of the programming paradigms are within a single scientific paradigm (the current one). (Even Logic Programming, which otherwise could be considered as close to a true superseding paradigm, if it ever actually supersedes the functional/imperative paradigm.)

You have to look to Cybernetics to find mechanisms from beyond the current scientific paradigm.
Maybe there's some overlap between HN anti-crypto crowd and those who remember Bill Gates track record at MSFT (ex: IE antitrust, anti-Linux).
But I've always wondered: why should business writing be like Hemingway's writing? He wasn't writing for that audience. Seems like it would be better to find examples of good writing for a business audience and use those. Same thing for journalistic writing: that's not what Hemingway was doing. Maybe take all the Pulitzer winning journalism from a few decades and use that or something. But it just seems weird to pick one arbitrary literary writer for this kind of exercise.
All newspapers in India have reduced the number of pages in their print edition by 30-45%. The paper with the highest circulation in India, The Times Of India, has become so commercial it's now known as the The Ads of India. Every front page and literally every second page has either full page or half page ads. The quality of the journalism is abysmal with super shallow articles and grammatical errors. The websites of the newspapers are even worse with headlines always revolving around cricket and entertainment. In fact, some regional news websites have "Ask the Sexpert" on their main page. It's a cesspool.
Doesn't electricity have a limit on how far it can be pushed through a wire? Looking for a little enlightenment on this topic.
"Arabs aren't forced to do military service but they're welcome to do so"

Exactly the same situation in Apartheid South Africa. There were whole battalions of volunteer black soldiers. Hell, after 1981 there were even black commissioned officers.

But under no circumstances where they arming and training the 'enemy' wholesale - as you said before your edit 'to protect THEIR people'. (Telling choice of words there).

You keep making my case for me.
Why would they? It lands under thrust like the Falcons, with two major differences:

1. it goes back to its launch area rather than merely going down as the Falcons do (why the Falcons need to land on a ship)

2. it's too heavy to get enough air resistance by falling vertically like the Falcons, so it does this amazing belly flop with a "flip and burn" at the last moment
The article mentions that paper fashion came to an end due to environmental concerns, and also mentions that the subsequent fast-fashion trends were even worse from an environmental standpoint.

Paper's damaging environmental footprint is due to its production, not its disposal. Virgin paper production involves chopping down trees (this is somewhat ameliorated by sourcing from managed forests, though many managed forests are monocultures, leading to its own set of issues), bleaching (though unbleached paper is an option), and lots of water/energy usage (improper water management can turn it into a pollutant of sorts [1], and energy production from fossil fuels leads to air, water, and land pollution). Paper from recycled materials causes less of these issues, and has become better in quality over the past decades.

Assuming there are no harmful or non-biodegradable additives or materials added to the product, paper will disintegrate quite fast if left outside, and even faster if composted.

No one here is arguing for replacement of military force, your brain got stuck by a common fallacy it seems.

Notice how displacing some military force usage by changing the motivation or capability for intervention (for example to maintain a currency advantage) might be in itself a Good Thing (tm) and how it does not require replacing armed forces entirely.

A measure that becomes a target often stops being a good measure.
There isn't a hard policy; it'd be a case-by-case decision. If there wasn't rough consensus, it'd be up to the release manager and technical board to decide. So far, this hasn't really happened: there have been a few bugs that have delayed releases by, like, a few days or a week, but nothing so severe that has seemed to warrant pulling a feature down.

Genuine question: Have you read the article?

The article is just as much for those who are trying to help women and minorities as it is for those who are biased.

If I follow an IG page, I sure don't want them to then go about collecting my data. And we don't know what data the OP was collecting.
Closeness to the water is a requirement so that if a rocket fails it doesn't land on people. And you don't want to launch to the West so that you can take advantage of the Earth's rotation rather than fighting it. (Launch sites on the West coast are for polar orbits which launch either North or South).

Given those requirements, there's no location that isn't vulnerable to hurricanes. Boca Chica actually doesn't get many hurricanes compared to Florida or further North on the Texas coast.
I generally ignore environmental opinions from anyone who owns multiple Gulfstream jets.
Ethereum and Litecoin for example are far, far less secure than Bitcoin. The centralization of ETH will continue to increase, and mining hardware for Scrypt for Litecoin is nearly non existent in comparison.

There's definitely a lot of use-cases for decentralized blockchains, I agree. If implemented correctly they could fight corruption, improve accountability and traceability and whole lot of other good things. The thing is, blockchain =/= cryptocurrency and therefore blockchain =/= bitcoin. Btc is a cryptocurrency that happens to use blockchain as a decentralized way of signing and keeping track of transactions.
The one that drives me insane is that while editing a cell formula, that using the arrow keys move cells (and update [read: wreck]) the formula rather than moving the cursor within the formula you're editing.

> If I understand correctly, by design PoW gets harder with time, so it becomes ever more expensive to mine BTC.

You misunderstood (or possibly were confused with the ethash "ice age"). PoW difficulty follows daily dollar emission, which is proportional to the product of price and block reward. In Bitcoin there is a large lag (up to 2 weeks) though between changes in the latter, and changes in difficulty. Miners who can't turn a profit will stop mining Bitcoin, causing difficulty to drop. It will always be profitable for the most efficient miners.
Some years ago I did a similar thing using genetic algorithm. I was researching it's use in generative art.

Oh... I could have sworn the "solipsistic change taking place in discourse" was that no one truly knows anything, that we're all just making shit up and stacking the shit into empires--indulging the pastime of 'bullshit-science' because we're afraid to admit we "don't know" and that ultimately the only thing we are in control of regarding knowledge is that of completely letting go of control.

When you think about it, we don't even know what knowledge is--what is it to posses (can it even be possessed?) the 'essence of knowledge'? Kinda makes you wonder if knowledge is nothing but the 'spiralcy study' of inevitable and ineffable Death--If all was known, could we really claim anything was ever truly alive?
This response and the GP are so useless to OP.

I suspect that OP has already learned quite a bit about platform effect and will carry those lessons with them forever.

Further, posting this is certainly intended as both a warning to the wise and a call for help.

Saying variations of “platform effect is bad” is simply repeating (with substantially less authority) what OP is already telling us. It’s punditry.

Rather than repeating what we already know, do you have any ideas or advice on how OP can get out of their current pickle?
Solar thermal is more efficient than photovoltaics in terms of energy captured per unit of surface/land area. However, photovoltaics are significantly cheaper per unit of energy generated. So, solar thermal makes more sense in space-constrained environments rather than vast deserts.

Solar thermal also makes more sense where you're directly utilising the heat generated, eg: for industrial processes. If you're just using that heat to spin turbines to make electricity, you're adding a layer of inefficiency.
That's not what I'm claiming at all. It's not about the medium it's about the structures, constraints, and goals of the work.

I'm also not claiming that podcasting can't be journalism, just that the structures necessary for it to be aren't widespread or generally highly valued by podcasters as a group. Plenty of journalists do use it as their medium but that doesn't make podcasting and journalism the same thing.
