Business opportunities in real estate for people without a big budget
I am married to a teacher and can assure you that even in 'the West' there are kids without personal smartphone and without a single computer/tablet at home.

No idea whether heat aspect is worked around in OLPC somehow by carefully selecting materials used or whatever, my point is that making these laptops self-sufficient would indeed be useful (if at all possible).
I understand your point and sympathise, but Handling cash isn't free. yes, for small traders and personal use, cash is effectively free. but as soon as you start to put it into the bank, it incurs a cost.

Depending on where you are, this cost might be hidden from you. (banking in the USA for example is expensive compared to the UK)

However as you point out, those companies that provide PoS terminals take either a monthly fee, or a percentage cut.
Much appreciated, thanks. If it's really this easy, I wonder why HN hasn't implemented this feature on their end? :)

Yes, not the first but most open. In Leonardo da Vinci's notebooks there is a drawing "Draftsman drawing an armillary sphere" dated 1510 which shows a kind of drawing machine. It is 15 years earlier than Durers woodcut. But Durers one was published in a book at the time.

Wikipedia has a short timeline of perspective machines [1].
There is also a link to excelent classification and description of all the drawing machines. [2]

"not recycleable" sometimes only means its not economically feasable to recycle, which for example is true for diapers too (which make up about 30% of our houshold trash). There is some weird trash town in agypt that over 90% recycling rate especially with plastics (afaik).
The sorting problem is mostly due to people feeling like they can get away with not washing their recyclables and throwing anything into the recycling bin. If you have to deliver those recyclables to a local business in person and they can tell you to your face that you didn’t do it right and you have to take your bin over to a washing station and redo it before you can leave it there you can be sure it won’t happen again.

People will complain about the meta-information leakage of email but then turn around and suggest we should instead use something based on your phone number[1]. I guess this is a reminder that phone number based contact discovery has issues as well ... perhaps worse ones in practice.

With email the server operators know who is talking to who but do not necessarily know who any of those people are. Email clients will not show who has you in their contact list. There is no practical way to enumerate every active email address in use.

Imagine my surprise when one can actually give up MORE revealing information about yourself and your contacts just by installing BOTH Telegram and Signal apps.

Telegram: when you’re most concerned about association with contacts.

I'm a massive Julia fanboy, but I would not extend Python with Julia if I could choose not to. Julia has a _massive_ runtime with a hello-world script consuming 150 MB of RAM, not to mention the dreaded startup-time.

It's better and easier to use Julia as your main top-level "glue" language and call Python/Rust/C from Julia. Julia is in many ways a better glue language than Python - better multithreading, easier calling into C/Rust, etc. Then, over time, to the extent it is practical, you can replace foreign code with Julia code - because Julia is fast enough that it actually makes sense to do so.

If you already have a large Python code base and can't switch the top-level language to Julia, I would just not use Julia for that project.
This isn't a matter of having an incomplete understanding, thanks for the offhanded aspersion though. The fundamental problem is that the concept of manifolds in state space isn't really something that has a non-tortured real world analogy, which is a prerequisite for a five year old to understand. It's probably possible to express more simply with a video demonstrating the covariance structure of a data set visually, then showing how that results from a small set of vectors, but I've read enough textbooks to be confident that a simple, concise explanation eludes words.
What makes you think they don‘t? Actual physical visits are to eg finalze deals, when high-bandwidth communication is necessary. And by high-bandwidth I mean body language, spontaneous n-to-n conversations between all participants, etc.

> We use Python for data analysis as well, and for 95% of operations we are doing, numpy is fast enough that we don't have any complaints. But sometimes, we do wish to be able to take advantage of all the cores in our CPUs, especially now that we can easily get an 8 core CPU for a reasonable price.

I understand the sentiment, but in this case I wonder if it is less a python issue and more an issue with numpy. I don't see any reason why numpy couldn't execute the last line of the following multi-threaded:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> a = np.arange(1000000000)
>>> b = 2 \* a

The same thing applies to matrix multiplication. I'm guessing numpy has chosen not to for good reason though.

edit: Actually it seems numpy is multi-threaded under certain circumstances:

Two interesting things, and a third. The first is that the whole business is upcycling disposable products/material into more long term durable ones. The second is the success of the collection depends entirely on the demand for the upcycled products up the supply chain. (extrusion, sheetpress, injection moulding, and the stuff you make out of them) So inventing very long term useful things made from recycled plastic (bricks, roads, large boats) would improve demand for recycling.

The third is the collection point business is a straight bounty program, which seems like the most basic business model in nature. There was a guy who trained crows to trade cigarette buts for peanuts in a machine, and it seems like you could do the same with plastics litter collection. Maybe we could build machines that other wild animals could figure out that accepted litter and waste and returned food.

It's a very bad idea to use recycled plastic for anything that will face abrasion, harsh temperatures or harsh chemicals, or a combination. Or any plastic really, microplastics don't care about which generation recycling your plastic has been through.

Obviously the most important thing to do is to reduce how much plastic is produced in the first place. Plastic recycling doesn't solve the microplastic issue, it arguably makes it worse, so any scrap plastic should be responsibly burned for energy and that energy should go towards production using materials that aren't plastic.

Use plastic only for products where the use of plastic is necessary for some critical functionality, and cannot be replaced with sustainable, biodegradable, properly recyclable materials. And only for products that are meant to last a long time, all single use and disposable plastic (such as packaging) needs to disappear ASAP.
We don't elect the Bank of England. And while it's government as the US likes to use the word, it's not government as the UK likes to.
> It’s clear this is not immune to the sorting problem which is the root cause of why plastic recycling is unprofitable

Yeah, they depict collectors bicycling around town with a trailer and then washing and delabeling the collected plastic in a domestic kitchen sink. They would have to charge thousands per ton for the clean stock.
I should clarify, Ethereum isn't merely "Blockchain technology", it's a more programmable Bitcoin (with other trade offs of course). In that sense, it's useful for the reasons you mentioned. The point applies more to projects that think they can replicate some form of this success by just hashing a block and stringing them together.

I once worked at a company that paid bonuses based on a portion of profits, appropriately named "profit sharing". As long as the company turned a profit in a quarter everyone got extra money. Company financials were shared with everyone each quarter (even though the company wasn't public) and the percentage was calculated based on a specific formula (details of which I don't remember but included years of service, title etc) so everything was pretty straightforward.

It's definitely possible to make bonuses work via profit sharing (even for private companies) as long as the company is not trying to cheat its employees.

as you've alluded to, its not open to consumers, only financial institutions, with good reason. It gives you lots of access to do all sorts of things.

Now this isn't a usecase I had thought about. I mean there are APIs that I can use to interface to a specific bank that will allow me to do this. But they are hidden behind layers of bureaucracy.

I think the issue for _consumer_ banking is making sure there is enough screening to make sure its not as easy for scammers and tricksters to get money from you.

Probably lost in all the replies but use can use AWS SAM start-local[1] to run a lambda locally.

There's also a docker container to mock dynamodb locally.

When I'm just working logic... Unit tests are best, but you could also keep the lambda invitation endpoint to lambda_handler, then write your own main() function to do some setup (like assume role to the same role as the lambda execution role, set up env bars)... Then end by invoking your lambda_handler locally... Basically main() is your pathway to running the lambda locally.. with only the minimum code required to "fake" being an AWS lambda.

I'm a very happy Elm user. We've using it to power a huge website with lots of daily visitors. Compared to projects I've been on earlier with Angular or React, the amount of errors are minuscule. Basically no UI errors, weird states or broken subpages because someone changed something somewhere but didn't manually test that page.

Interop with JS is mostly fine. Just integrated Adyen, and it went without an issue (except their js bundle being 10x the size of our elm app..). Same with our map provider. We can call their APIs, and they can render/take over certain divs inside our elm app without issue. The only JS issue I'm having is for smaller synchronous stuff. Like calling small utils imported from JS is burdensome, as it becomes an async flow and the response can only be handled in our update function. But day-to-day mostly a non-issue.

No real changes for the last two years. But that's fine. No breaking changes (like from 0.18 to 0.19) and not really any big features I'm missing.

I'm very fan of elm-css. There are some minor annoyances, but having the css just be plain elm-code (with type safety even, cannot write invalid css) with functions and logic and stuff is very powerful.
