> thin clients make hella sense, are still something I lust for linux being able to do well

It is a complicated area. Sun got somewhat successful with SunRays once they had virtualization on the servers and could run Windows. Quickly after iPhone and iPad came which are not as thin, but offer many of the same benefits with more power on the device.

The remaining niche for Thin Clients is very small.
How do you bind a /tmp/empty to /home/$USER with unveil, so that you can see and capture the files some program creates?
DuckDuckGo has gone on the record I believe and said that they don’t have the resources to do this and so that’s why they use Bing as a backend. I think it is possible for them and others to try a consortium but I don’t it’s likely that they will succeed in dethroning Google.

I think that’s the question here: who do you trust more? The government(s) or Google? I think that the walled garden Google has built around the open web is based on a natural monopoly on web crawling, which means that it’s economically more efficient for there to only be one entity engaged in that activity.

So, who would you rather have in control of web crawling? I’ve seen what Google has done to the open web with this power and I don’t like it and so I am willing to fight to give the government the chance at wielding that power to protect and develop the open web.

I won’t go so far as to say I wholeheartedly trust the government in all things, but rather that for this particular aspect of the economy, based on my research and classical economic thinking, that I would trust giving the government this power more than I would with letting Google keep it.
You could do that but then your comparison is obviously biased and not very useful.
What I’ve noticed is that most criticism towards the Chinese/CCP on Internet forums is unsubstantiated and is often times nothing the USA or its allies haven’t done or are currently doing.

Because it’s framed in such a way the Chinese are portrayed as some sort of supervillain. Combine that with the fact that many eastern Asians are of Han descent and “look” Chinese (whatever that means, it’s a big country) - and this is the result.

It’s unfortunate I’m not fluent in other languages because I’m curious if other countries’ online communities say things about the USA similar to what we say about China.
My thoughts on adderall are: I don't think Doctor's even actually prescribe that anymore. You'd likely get a modern drug that is timed release instead.

> This is all within the 3.5-inch form factor.

Data density is great and all, but this line got me wondering if we wouldn't be supporting more than just the 2.5" and 3.5" form factors. I'm suspect there would be a market for storage devices with twice the volume and 50% or more storage. Or does the 3.5" form factor have something to do with the limitations of spinning rust tech?

>At least for Bitcoin, don't miners effectively control consensus?

They completely control consensus when it comes to transaction ordering, but for other network parameters like emission rate, they don't have any control. If they decided to bump block rewards by 2x none of the blocks would be accepted by exchanges or merchants, and it would effectively be a hard fork. Segwit2x had majority miner support but failed because it couldn't get enough community support.

We will definitely write about it soon.
The electronic components that create microwaves (magnetron, transformer etc.) are only 50-70% efficient at making microwaves the rest being lost to waste heat. In order for this device to be 96% efficient they must be capturing waste heat in the water through some sort of heat exchanger.

Whats the point then? A resistive element immersed in water converts nearly 100% (probably some light losses at the elements base) of the energy to heat in the water its immersed in.

So on one hand you have complicated expensive microwave system that still resistively heats the water in a much more complicated way losing 4% still to waste heat or you have a much more simple resistive heating system that probably does better.

I wish we could just stop using street lights or at least turn them down significantly. I've done a lot of walking at night and a lot of the time you can see just fine. On darker nights (no moon) you can simply carry a torch. There's simply no need to floodlight entire streets all night long.

There is a lot of research into the effects of light on sleep quality and it's bad. I have to put significant effort into blocking out street lights in my bedroom which means using blackout curtains even in winter. It's also bad for birds and other wildlife which rely on lighting to determine the time of day. I used to live on a street which turned the lights off completely at about midnight and it was so much better.
Only for people that make mistakes.

But the person who the money/etherium is sent to could be the charity, no? As in, people donate their digital art or whatever to a charity and the charity auctions off the NFTs to raise money.

That’s the way real life charity fundraisers sometimes work: you donate a physical object and they sell it to raise money. The benefit over you selling at and donating the money is that you don’t have to deal with selling it. The usage of NFTs here would be to take advantage of the mass hysteria(?) surrounding them to drum up the price.
What’s interesting is we’re seeing the ending of the 2 year Moore’s Law doubling rate at the same time (as we reach near the limits of the physics of photolithography as we reach toward EUV light sources... if we go much shorter wavelength, we get inherent shot noise from the high energy of the photons... and this in addition to device-level quantum effects), so we might never quite reach the point where SSDs totally take over. Also, even tape seems to be defending its niche from hard drives.

Also, higher RPM hard drives are still a thing and are holding their own to some degree. The higher RPM can help with rebuild times and to reduce the impact of the lower random IOPS. Also, conventional hard drives do not have the write limitations that (especially cheaper) SSDs have, although that has improved over time.

So I think we’ll just see a continuation of the three-tiered system of storage for many years to come, but with hard drives increasingly disappearing into the cloud and away from consumer devices. SSDs for most things, hard drives for bulk server/cloud storage, and tape still for cold, long-term-stable storage.

I think we’ve already seen a plateau in storage cost reduction as SSDs are not cheaper per TB than HDs. I think we’ll put more effort into being efficient with storage management in the future as we can no longer simply rely on doubling storage capacity every couple years.
Really? Can you expand on that? I have seen Fibonacci being the poster child of the usefulness of memoization and maybe tail recursion, but never parallelization.
Nokia knew they where about to get eaten by iPhone and Android phones, so they made a exit plan and sold to Microsoft. Microsoft didn't like open source so they replaced the OS with their proprietary Windows OS - one OS/platform on all devices (phone,tablet,desktop) was a novel idea, windows 8 was great on phones and tablets, but everyone hated the UI on desktop.

She’s a journalist - that job is supposed to involve critical thinking, not regurgitating press releases. If your criticism is that she’s factually correct but not fawning it sounds like she’s doing her job well.
That verizon would do that is not surprising. They did not want to budge on those dataplan costs. Touting 'superior network' as their selling point. It was not until they tried to move into M2M that they realized no one was going to pay 45 bucks per MB and that AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint would sell data and text at a much more reasonable rate. The original iPhone was neat but not much better than everything else out there in that category. Its one killer feature was that unlimited plan. That turned a remote device from something you did very little with because you did not want to get reamed on the data plans, to something you could hook the internet up to. It took verizon ages to realize it.

How's that possible? JS does not have a good reputation in sci prog, why would clio have?
Oh, it's an ex-lawyer? Not just some random guy sitting in his car? Thanks for including that tidbit, so I know this arbitrary YouTube video is credible.

Or maybe, just maybe, you're doing the same thing you complain about, and cherry-picking your sources and relying on stories that support your existing biases.

The answer is not to reason every sentence from first principles, like the HHG2G character who is pleasantly surprised every morning to discover that a pencil makes marks on paper. At every point, new information builds on previous information, and that usually works out reasonably well. There are exceptions, perhaps most notably in the case of the NYT, the post-9/11 Iraq war, but most of the time it works better than any other solution, and more importantly, any alternative would work less well.
Distributed computing is when you take a bunch of tasks one computer (or CPU/computing units of choice) usually do and spread it out to many computers (or CPU/computing units of choice). This is to give faster execution compared to if you did the work sequentially and is generally a pattern that is gaining more and more popularity as of late.

A distributed programming language in this context means that the programming facilitates this paradigm so it's easy to do distributed programming with the language. In the case of Clio, it also means it is distributed by default, so you write code like normal and it's executed in a distributed fashion.
Please can you specify what "proper" value types mean? C# structs already provide value semantics but what is missing?
I cannot speak to what might've been contained in the contracts, but I am fairly confident that master/slave terminology wasn't used by the recording industry, just "master" and "mastering".

Google Ngrams/Book Search seems to validate this, too. I could find no results related to the recording industry that used master/slave terminology.

I'd personally be leery of accepting sources post-2020, due to the confidence with which people can recall false memories.
Ha, that's a good point, though I think if Apple were to implement something like it, there would be a ton of rules. Perhaps banning network requests from the free app (no saas, no tracking) or limiting it in some way from being abused.
The cost of climate- neutral agriculture
Arguing that two programming languages must be considered to have the same performance just because they compile down to the same technology, is flawed.

Otherwise you couldn't make performance comparisons between C, Rust, Go, Haskell, Julia, because they all compile to assembly
You still cannot ship the resulting apps though. One has to hack around with the likes of Kivy to get that. On Maemo you could just ship a Deb (at least outside the braindead Nokia store, which was restricted to C++).

The discussion here, earnest and otherwise, is like catnip for ngate.
Bitcoin is a direct assault on the authority of central banks to control money supply and set interest rates.

The time is long overdue for citizens to start playing a more direct role in these two important functions of monetary policy.

Bitcoin also provides a convenient method for holders of this currency to lower the taxes that they are forced to pay in order to fund all of the waste and corruption not only within the federal reserve banking system, which is a revolving door that connects to Wall Street, but in other government agencies as well.

Stiglitz, who has spent most of his career living on a form of UBI courtesy of the parents who are desperate for their kids to attend Ivy League schools, is not very credible as a result on the topic of who exactly US monetary policy is intended to benefit: Wall Street fat cats sporting Ivy League degrees (enabled by their heavily lobbied allies in government like Chuck Schumer) or the Main Street average joe?

I/we do but sometimes you just overlook something especially if there are a lot of changes. But having someone else review what you do almost completely removes that problem.

I usually do not look through all commits again when a basic review already happend and i "just" integrate the review comments. That is where for me personally these problems happen that git-autofixup is sometimes wrong but in over a few thousand commits in the last months this happend only thrice.

Arguably, if the model can identify me from a picture, then the model IS "indentifying information" (in the most literal sense).

Because Clio is not JS, it compiles to JS?

There is plenty of ways of making JS handle any "scientific programming" you can throw at it. It'll probably run slower than what you can do by default in python-land or Julia, but since Clio seems to automatically parallize your code, it might have a chance.

There is also period underwear (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8021090). They are not as resilient/inexpensive as cups.

It's funny, from the votes on my comment it seems like I came across as seriously criticizing Julia (a language I admire) rather than just being hyped about that video (which is excellent).
I'm not saying you can't, I'm saying that since the code that eventually gets executed the same way just one layer down, it's not useful to JUST consider the performance.

You're not using TypeScript to get faster JS execution. You're using TypeScript to get types in JS. Compare development speed and avoiding bugs together with performance in that case. Same for Clio.
In the art world it's a pretty straightforward formula:
-Buy out the estate of a 3rd tier artist who once drank a beer with a famous artist
-Created slick marketing materials written by an art critic who was paid a lot of money to hold their nose
-Place several key pieces up for auction and an accomplice buys them at inflated prices
-Market is cornered, established prices are high, nothing left to do but sell to buyers who are too lazy to form a critical opinion and who instead rely on the manufactured signals from steps 1, 2 and 3.
-Once all the best pieces are picked through you still have a bunch of inflated junk that you can use as collateral for other nefarious schemes.

Why not destroy such sceptics (on HN or anywhere else) regarding the rate of climate change and related topics? All you have to do is demonstrate that the data presented by them & their interpretation is garbage, nonsense or whatever else you want to call it.

Yes. You either declare Chapter 7 and get to keep what debtor protections allow you to keep, which varies wildly by state; Texas and Florida have very strong protections for example. Indiana and Illinois debtor protections are...less robust.
