It actually works quite well as it's advertised. It's a nice place to write notes.

It's a good reader for individual docs and articles. The gesture recognition isn't perfect, but it's not bad. The software is getting better regularly. I tried installing an ereader (koreader? I forget the name) but it needed gestures that were tricky to pull off (for a task switcher).

Is most powerful feature is it's presence. It's just relaxing to look at instead of a screen.

If you're thinking of one, get it for what it's advertised for. If you want an epaper general purpose tablet, get a boox. I went with remarkable because (a) I liked the use case, I've had Android tablets in the past and they suck; and (b) it's open enough that it'll stay usable even if the company stopped caring.
Given the recent bailout of private multi employer pension funds inside of a “COVID Relied Bill” makes me think the democrats will just bail it out.
Kerntype – A Letter Spacing Game
It does require more data and analysis, but is entirely possible. I'm not taking a stance on this (in reference to your 'dubious' comment) but I'm trying to elaborate on how this would be implemented.

Consider a database where each account has the owners name, local address, other demographic data in addition to their account balance. The database also stores their transactions.

Now allow businesses to have their own central bank accounts as well. The business has its location and type of business listed as well.

Assuming all this data is entered correctly and up to date the implementation of "$100 to be spent in 30 days on local restaurants" is as follows. Assume local is, within 10 miles of the account owners home, as a nonce value:

* Add $100 to person's central bank account
* Over the next 30 days person buys: shoes locally, a pizza locally, and orders a book from Amazon.
* On day 31 the central bank examines all transactions. By referencing each account money was transfered to the bank can lookup distance and type of business.
* Remove the unspent amount, if any, from the account.

Now, there is a fun edge case here: what if the person spends their $100 credit on books from Amazon instead of food and has no money left? Do they end up with a negative balance? This penalizes both people mispending money as well as those where they spent money at a place that is miscategorized ( for example, the local deli is categorized as a shell corporation ). So clearly the basic idea needs some work, but it is not undoable. Especially if business owners are incentived to have their information be accurate and up to date to recieve monetary funds.

Why do you say absolutely huge externalities? I like the theoretical idea of taxing for light pollution, and a huge majority of that tax would go to cities and suburbs using overkill lights. Starlink doesn't even stop you from observing the stars the way normal light pollution does.

Also it's not just the subscribers. The existence of starlink as a competitor will probably have a significant positive impact on millions of people.
How to Optimise Order by Random()
You’re having a rather odd take on these words! I never said they were hand waving away God. I said they were hand waving all the important details of what religion they were referring to, and about the only thing anyone seemed to agree on is a God somewhere (Usually) and we won’t get into most of the details. Many prominent founding fathers were atheist or agnostic, but that wasn’t the majority.

The American approach is a ‘if we don’t look too hard, it’ll be ok’, since otherwise you end up with the literal large scale religious wars that pushed many of these groups here in the first place from Europe. Or society wide pogroms like Anglicans/Protestants/Catholics have done to each other constantly elsewhere.

And if you think Catholics/Protestants/Mormons/Baptists, etc are hanging out in the same church at any scale, we must hang out with very, very different crowds. They are not all deriving calculus from the same book - or all even agreeing that calculus exists.

A closer analogy would be a bunch of high school English teachers arguing that math exists, and one knows algebra one, another knows calculus, another knows trig, and another is doing arithmetic in base 16 while everyone else is using base 10. And they all think the other is wrong, but not completely so.

But there is no actual math teacher in sight.
But see (if only as a “fun fact”), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanian_Cyrillic_alphabet
One common shortcoming I see often with math teaching (at a high level): the difference in difficulty between lecture problems and homework/midterm problems is sometimes absurd.

Right; good programmer, though, another story.

Many programmers using these were switched to them from something else, and in many cases are doing better work because of that.
I think "smoother experience on FreeBSD" is a myth -

The standard volume manager on FreeBSD is vinum/geom; ZFS ships its entire separate volume manager to the host OS, so you can't use mount/umount to control mounting a ZFS volume. Maybe it would be okay to move entirely over to ZFS's volume manager but it only supports ZFS's own filesystem, you can't use the ZFS volume manager with a normal FreeBSD UFS2 partition.

In both Linux and FreeBSD, ZFS's bolt-on ARC competes with the kernel's actual page cache for resources instead of properly integrating with it.

It's an out-of-tree filesystem for both OSes. Sure FreeBSD periodically imports it into master from OpenZFS (née ZoL), but all development happens elsewhere, and the SPL is still trying to emulate a Solaris interface on top of both OSes.

Is there any more concrete example of how ZFS is actually better integrated on FreeBSD compared to Linux, say Ubuntu? It takes ZFS snapshots automatically during apt upgrades, root-on-ZFS is a default installer option, etc.
Yes, likewise with almost all colonial areas. Asking the Japanese to stop eating curry, or the Hong Kongers to stop drinking milk tea, or the people of Qingdao to stop making beer, or asking all of China to stop eating egg tarts, would only wreak havoc on culture.

After a generation or two such things become assimilated and a part of local culture. The people alive today were born with these things, and they consider them their own.

There are several comments on this page from people who say they are in California and think this news is a good thing, and also seem to perversely think that it's not a terrible terrible sign for any native Californian who isn't already tremendously wealthy.

This is probably my biggest complaint about California: there is this incredibly wrong strain of thought that keeping people out will somehow make everyone's lives here better. It does not, unless you are benefiting directly from how housing austerity drives up prices of housing and everything else.
The government does not have a contract with each person. The way to implement this currently would be to either:
* Have a contract with each bank to give money to them to give to each citizen. This hits problems with trust on the bank, speed of distribution, and how to deal with citizens who have multiple bank accounts.
* Issue some set of stimulus checks, tax credits, and require documentation of appropriate spending at tax time. This feels very much like the plot to a modern Kafka novel.
To be fair, it never really got picked up so it's worth trying again and again.
Fun fact: the earliest alphabets in India, Iran, Syria are all descendent from Aramaic.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aramaic_alphabet

IIRC, proto-sinaitic gave birth to Phoenician and Arabic (with some lost alphabets like Moabite in there somewhere). Phoenician is the main branch, often called the original alphabet, and its two children are Aramaic and Greek, with alphabets in the "east" being likely descended from Aramaic (Brahmi script, proto-Farsi and Parthian, Syrian) and those in the "west" descendent from Greek (Latin, Armenian, Cyrillic, Coptic). Thus you would in fact expect Mongolian, being in the east, to be an offshoot of Aramaic if you knew it had an alphabet (it could be like Mandarin without an alphabet). That's the real question -- does it have an alphabet or not.

I only say this because a lot of people think that Aramaic script is some exotic thing, but it was the official language of the Persian (Achaemenid) Empire, which was quite large, stretching from India to North Africa, and Aramaic was a lingua franca of that era.

Then you are not the target demographic. That doesn't make it a bad idea.
As other commenters have mentioned, it is common practice to use such an approach to find genes that are associated with a disease (GWAS).

But finding a correlated gene is only the first step. One issue is that a single protein can participate in hundreds of seemingly unrelated chemical reactions throughout the body depending on the cell type and environment. So simply tweaking the genes expression will have many unintended consequences.

For instance, each cell is constantly maintaining a baffling complex balance between growing and dying. Any external perturbation has a good chance of either killing the cell or causing cancer.

@hellbannedguy interesting that you went to school with Newsom/Getty. I live in California, am a registered Democrat and signed the recall. He doesn't seem to comprehend, or has some discordian delight in the full horror of the drug epidemic and attendant homeless crisis and appears to actively encourage US homeless to move to coastal California, some of the most expensive and desirable real estate on earth, where he will 'provide permanent homes' for them.

The cities are overrun, sanitation and safety is badly compromised, yet half the US homeless are in California with more coming. This is a primary reason along with cost of living why people are leaving.

I should have been clearer. I am also talking about moment-to-moment spectral complexity or entropy.

I agree that the point TFA is suggesting seems to be about the spectral complexity at any given moment in song - what you might call the timbre - and how nearly pure the tones in their spectrograms are. (They don't specify what species they're showing. Looks like several, but I can't ID them by eye.)

My point is that no, in fact, many bird species produce vocalizations that are indeed spectrally complex (beyond even just harmonic stacks) from moment-to-moment.

Take a look at song from a blue jay (https://www.remoteenvironmentalassessmentlaboratory.com/expl... ; not the best example, or one I produced, but an easy one to hand), particularly the syllables near the end of the clip. That's an example of a complex timbre.

And lots of species produce song and calls with features like this.
I think you’re grossly overestimating the level of literacy.
I'm not making any statements on overall fighting ability. I'm making a statement on the performance of the power plants, which is what was the scope of the comment I replied to.

Debating the overall abilities of each airplane in the scope of their doctrine and battlespace is probably out of scope for an HN comment and involves much more than the aircraft themselves. All I'm gonna say is that in the context of the engagements the J20 is meant to fight it in it has a few aces up its sleeves that the US cannot match in large part due to differences in doctrine.
The dominant position of the USD on the world stage also might have something to do with the USA having deployed military to more than 150 countries at once and their involvement in regime changes all over the world.

Meanwhile the FED heroically partakes in piling on debt for the futures generations.

Oh... but we're bringing internet to the world! Just buy this $2,000 USD base unit and subscribe for $100 USD monthly so that your Yurt in the middle of no-where-ville has high-speed internet... What? You have no shoes and only one pair of clothes? Just buy new ones on Amazon and get next day delivery!

--

Bringing internet to the world is a noble goal, particularly if it's not brought to the world by the likes of Facebook, Google or Amazon with their clear ulterior motives. Unlocking access to the world's knowledge is critical for the future of all people... but we shouldn't achieve that goal through force, which is what is happening now with these massive multi-thousand satellite constellations against the protest of nations and people alike. The whole "get over it" attitude is staggeringly in bad taste.

I also highly doubt these mega-constellations + launch costs are cheaper than putting up PTP and PTMP radio dishes in regions that desire the internet. We can push multiple gigabits through these dishes now for backhaul "lines" and there's been great organizations installing these systems throughout Africa and other places for more than two decades. These folks just need more funding... but radio dishes aren't sexy - instead we're putting these satellites up in space where they impact every human being on the planet, instead of just those who are using them.
The A10 is incredible. I've watch pilots do things that should not be possible and are most probably against the rules. Obscenely short near-stall landings for one.

INHO, this is a terrible thing. The drop in population provides no benefit at all to those struggling to get along.

Austerity measures never help those who are struggling. It's always a reallocation of resources from those with less to those with more. And California has embraced austerity in housing and land for almost half a century now.

Under housing austerity, as the wealthier buy more and more of an ungrowing housing stock, those with more will have fewer people per house, driving a population decrease even as demand has not decreased at all, and has likely increased.

I do agree that California is currently a raw deal for anybody not in a high-paying career. Without drastic change, life will eventually get too hard for the very wealthy as they can no longer find anybody to do things such as repairing their house. We are still a decade or more from that, but this news is a very bad sign of what's to come.
If they want to cover the entire Earth with internet access, how is it that I see them come and go in bunches rather than just a steady stream all night such that there is always at least one overhead? Having a bunch show up and disappear doesn't sound like very continuous internet access
There was a golden era around the 2000s where Goodwill was amazing for deals - then someone wised up on values of some items and they just went nuts on pricing, especially anything that looks "high tech" - I suspect overpricing computers and not selling ANY of them is why the Goodwills won't take any computers anymore.

That is exactly how it works under the DMCA, yes. There are wait times involved, so it can take a few weeks to get it back up.

I am not sure if Youtube follows the DMCA or they're doing their own thing -- the DMCA doesn't necessarily say they have to put it back up or can't take it down under other circumstances, can't do their own thing.

You are unhappy and disagree with the decision but are they really "red flags"? In the GitHub issues you mention Signal does provide what seems to me to be good-faith reasoning behind their decisions.
You haven't explained how a new digital currency makes this easier. Any retail banking setup provided by the government for a new digital currency could just as easily make use of dollars and would provide equal benefits.

As far as I can, the only thing you can get with a new digital currency is the ability to decouple it's value from the dollar.
