The battery in a BEV accounts for a substantial portion of the resources involved in its manufacture. The battery forms basically half the mass of the entire vehicle, and we're not talking about a sack of unprocessed dirt here. If it has usable life left for energy storage purposes as-is, we should absolutely take advantage of it.
I don't care how it is used as long as the technological advances transfer back to civilian headsets too. We already have unmanned weapons that can vaporize cities. Adding a human back into the mix doesn't sound all that bad.

There is - huge spike in demand for talent locally in the last 5-10 years as this business model started becoming popular. Also seeing smaller agencies being acquired by larger ones in some decently sized acquisitions recently.

Initially the local IT sector was undeveloped, there were quite a few good engineers working in really poor condition, the only decent option was relocating to Western Europe.

So there were experienced developers available for cheap, and, compared to India, Central/Eastern Europe is closer to US (some overlap in work hours), usually a much nicer destination to travel to for offshore offices (depending on the country, Croatia for example is a really nice tourist destination, good English level and the culture should be more familiar).

So initially that higher quality talent got absorbed at below market rates (especially for US standards) and there were quite a few success stories and reputation builders. But now as this model expands competition is driving up the price locally as well - there just isn't enough people to outsource - they are starting to scrape bottom of the barrel talent, asses-in-seats, straight out of college Indian code farm model with all the problems that had. Also portals like toptal made it easier to skip these agencies and work directly for clients so now the agencies have to compete with that for talent.

I think the peak for this agency model is behind us and I think the quality has started to drop (there were a few smaller agencies that built their reputation like I described above and had great success, they used availability of local talent to built respectable teams and getting hired there was a resume highlight, sort of like getting hired at FAANG on a local level. Nowadays they are hiring people they would screen out after an initial call and it's selling asses in seats, cashing in on built reputation)
Existing HoloLens devices show semi transparent holograms overlaid on the real world so to speak, in a viewable frame size resembling something like a oversized postage stamp. (That is, holographic content does not fill your entire field of view.) It's not conducive to showing 100% opaque video content for a live drone feed, in my opinion, due to technical limitations (opacity, rendering proximity) and human comfort issues.

I appreciate that they're offering "custom" units and could theoretically fix these issues. But it _sounds_ like it'll be more of a ruggidization and compliance realignment of existing hardware. Pure speculation of course.
It's manufacturing I guess you'd call it. It normally doesn't bother me. Most everyone here has a good variety they listen to. It's just the two I'm working with right now who are apparently ok with listening to top 40 stations all day long. It's largely my fault. I could have said something, but I was in a pissy mood to start and I tend to come off nastier than I mean to when I'm in a mood.
That's what I tried recently among others, it's the website equivalent of an IDE. And when I actually started entering some regex it started throwing errors and timeout messages for inputs that standard grep will happily chew through in fractions of a second.

On subpar hardware that site is a single collection of annoyances, including window-filling loading screens.

That said I tried UP and it works very nicely for what I need.

I think this is correct right now, but the biggest cost by far for generating green methane at scale would be the energy costs for electrolysis to get the hydrogen from water. If renewables continue to fall in cost, we may rapidly reach a point where we have a huge surplus of green energy for parts of the year. There are already places in the US where energy prices regularly go negative due to excess wind energy, for example.

Folks have talked a lot in the past about using excess energy from renewables to generate hydrogen gas, but hydrogen alone is a lot harder to manage, is much less energy-dense by volume, is impractical to liquefy for storage and transport, and isn't compatible with existing infrastructure. Methane solves all of these issues, and doesn't take much additional energy to create beyond what you must spend for hydrogen alone.

This reminds me of the toilet paper site from last year.

From no traffic to 10+ million visitors and being featured on late night talk shows. It was 6 lines of JavaScript and took 20 minutes to build but peaked at making $5,000 a day from ads.

I ended up chatting with its creator on how he built and hosted it at https://runninginproduction.com/podcast/35-determine-what-yo....

But since then it looks like he transferred the site to someone else because now it's an e-commerce shop instead of a toilet paper calculator like it once was.

... but why?

I'm not military, so maybe I'm just not seeing it... but what use cases does the Army really care enough about to spend $22B on AR headsets for? I could maybe see a billion here, a billion there... but $22B... on AR headsets seems batshit insane.

Certainly can't imagine soldiers in a firefight keeping them on. Maybe logistics use cases? It was hard enough to find commercial use cases for HoloLens, so I can't even begin to imagine what is important enough to source this kind of hardware.
It’s less elitist and more it’s a simple measure that the masses can understand and very simple and easy to implement. Security is hard and security/ encryption done right is even harder.

I have piholes with dnssec running at least upstream for privacy. And a vps I use as both a socks proxy and vpn here and there. But I have the technical know how to implement that.

Let’s say, my parents just wanted a way to make sure their traffic was encrypted from either their ISP or Corp provided iPhone. I wouldn’t tell them to go build a Linode or use Pi-hole. They don’t care. But a vpn with a decent trust rating with nothing more than a login would do it and is easily achievable.

Would I still advise them to be congnizant that other lower level spyware may be on their Corp phone, sure, absolutely. But that’s not always the case. My org doesn’t do that. We give you a phone and pay for service. You can use your iCloud and we have the ability to lock it/decom it because we own it. And can lock them out of email but we can’t run find my iPhone on it.

There have been requests to our provider for more traffic data for x user. So even I run a vpn when using their data.

Another example. I had a buddy going to China for a couple months bye wanted advice on how to secure his stuff. I advised him to use burner devices and chnage passwords yadda yadda. But then the question of accessing email, such as gmail came up. The great firewall is pretty nuts. I set him up an account on my vps and enabled obfs etc on the vpn.

But he also used nord as a backup because he had ton of options there geographically dispersed. In the end, all he needed was nord at all. And when the firewall dropped his states to one node he would just reconnect. It worked just fine.

Thanks for pointing out the tweets.

The mistakes called out in the tweets look like typos that are not critical to the major conclusions of the paper.

For instance, if the paper is about how IUD insertion changes over time, and consistently mislabels “per 100000” as “per capita” in one of the graphs, then the percentage change is unaffected by this typo.

But if the curve in the graph were altered, then that would be a significant mistake (and a fraud). But it doesn’t appear to be the case in Zenz’s work.

If major conclusions are affected, the papers will eventually be retracted. But if those are only typos, the papers will survive. So we will know.

Can you tell me how major conclusions in his papers are affected by these changes?

And also how most citations in the Newlines report are affected by Zenz’s work? I fail to see the connection of those citations to Zenz, like those I pointed out above.

> He then tried to cover it up by changing the revision date, an act which amounts to academic fraud.

Changes due to typos like this are not considered an academic fraud, unless these changes affects the major conclusions of the papers significantly.

In the area I work with, I frequently see similar typos in research papers. No profession researcher bothers to call out such minor mistakes in tweets. And mistakes on revision dates after correcting typos are not considered fraud.

That’s why I asked for peer-reviewed criticism of his work, not random tweets that nitpick on minor issues.

I've got nearly identical symptoms, and while it does come back now and then, I feel like I'm finally on top of it. I spent about a year trying various things, including exercise ( which actually only seemed to aggravate the symptoms rather than helping), various targeted stretches, physiotherapy, rest, ice, compression, wrist support braces, various ergonomic keyboards

What ultimately worked for me was a combination of massage therapy and self-massage.

I found that I had a large number of muscle knots/myofascial trigger points in my hands, forearms, tricep/biceps, shoulder, and back. Working with the massage therapist we slowly worked them out. In particular I found targeting the teres minor, which is a small muscle below the shoulder almost in the armpit, to be one of the breakthrough moments. Normally I have no back or shoulder pain, but when you find these knots and you start poking at them it can be incredibly painful.

I now have a home self-massage routine that I do regularly, especially if the tingling or any pain comes back, and it really helps. I use a combination of tools, including a lacrosse ball which I use against a wall on my forearms, back, and shoulders, and teres minor area, a Theracane massage stick, and a forearm massage tool from Armaid.com. The combination of the Armaid and Lacrosse ball really helped work the knots out of my forearms, and I highly recommend both of them.

A book I found useful was "The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook" by Claire Davies. I coupled this with a muscle anatomy book to help name/identify muscles to search in the Trigger Point book. The location of trigger points and symptoms as described in the Trigger Point book were uncannily accurate, it was literally spot on.

There are some good youtube videos, blogs, and websites of course. A few I found particularly helpful were the "Doug and Brad physiotherapy channel" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzVO9DU-bog), and the Painotopia youtube channel and corresponding website: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCwTpwn8lWZQ_lXfUPL1JZg/fea... https://www.muscle-joint-pain.com/ the Painotopia website is full of info, but I did find that I had to search around to find a bit.

Anyway, that's what worked and is working for me. I believe that stress, posture, and computer use, all contributed to developing these muscle knots, many of them near the ulnar nerve.

Everyone's pain, symptoms, and causes are different. Good luck! If you have any questions or want more info send a comment and you can drop me an email: my HN username @ gmail.com

Ask HN: When do you decide to change a job?
I never stated I don't want a boss, because I actually DO want one. A boss denotes a full-time job which is what I want most. I am missing out on health insurance and retirement benefits big time. I miss the interaction with co-workers. It also gets lonely when you are the only US developer in the company and the others are offshore. I never had that experience of being in a room with other developers that are wiser than me and bouncing off ideas with them and I would like to have that experience.

When I was very much doing 90% PHP work in my agency days (WordPress, Magento, Joomla...) I got some offerings for Magento but I mostly did front-end work in Magento and found it to be an easily breakable and over-engineered piece of work.

I didn't use Drupal at work but I was more interested in it. The Drupal job listings I have found were weird: They all required previous Drupal experience. I need a job to get Drupal experience but I cannot get it because I don't have it. I don't doubt that it would be a lot more versatile than WP though.

Not interested in founding a business with a partner or continuing freelance because it's too much uncertainty and risk for my taste. Just need a 9-5 with more stability. Permatemping gives me the worst of both worlds. You have to pay more on taxes, get no benefits, and you get paid less than you would if you were contracted from an external agency.

I'm not much of a social person, and since 2014 I started working remotely 100% of the time. I guess that physical isolation from co-workers was affecting my interview performance somehow?

Because the main issue is those 9-5 full-time jobs have super hard interviews, including the ones that don't ask you algorithmic questions. It's like they're on a different planet with how they evaluate me.
