Found an interesting article on the topic: https://slate.com/technology/2011/09/paper-versus-the-ipad-i...

According to the article, if you already have an iPad, it’s better to take notes on that than to use paper, by a lot. 7 hours of iPad note taking equals 1 piece of paper (in carbon dioxide equivalents).

However if you’re buying the iPad just for the purpose of taking notes, it is probably better to just use paper. Unless you’re going to use more than roughly 8,000 a 13,000 pieces of paper (depending on the type).

So as far as the remarkable goes, my guess would be that paper wins unless you take an insane amount of notes.

There are obviously other factors to consider when deciding between remarkable and paper. I just found these numbers interesting and have absolutely no problem with people who take notes digitally. I have way too many computers/tablets/phones/who knows how many other electronics to be judgmental of this sort of thing.
Laser Powered Future
Just had the random thought that instead of having batteries, we should just install actuated lasers everywhere that can track solar panels on our portable devices to power them.

Feel free to tear into this probably really awful ides.
You're thinking of a communist society. America is capitalist; the latter is market-driven, and the citizens pay for their own microphones to spy on them.
I think you'll find that the energy density and energy co-location of a gas tank to be far greater than a battery.

Far more negative outcomes are possible with highly flammable fuel only separated from the outside world by a thin metal membrane.
>I wouldn't even say that the mp3 sounds worse, just different.

If you're comparing against lossless, sounding different means sounding worse.

The goal is transparency: Preserving the qualities of the original audio that you can actually hear, while occupying less space.
A great way to clean our water is to ban what creates the pollution going into it, especially single-use plastic, factory farms, and a lot of packaging. If they want to take baby steps, use proper accounting -- that is, charge manufacturers and buyers the true cost of cleaning the pollution their products make, which could be through a tax on pollution so those who pollute pay to clean it, not all taxpayers. Think Coca-Cola as one example of many.

We can spoon out the flood, but as long as we have to turn off the spigot, now is the most effective time.
To extend your simile, in this case Epic appears to have accepted a booth in a marketplace where there is significant foot traffic, easy access and well tested distribution channels. They are quite content selling their wares there yet do not want to pay the asking price and are actively telling people to go to their own marketplace on the other side of town.

Doesn't sound like a vendor I would want in my market either.
The TL;DR is that he had to pay to exercise options and then also pay the tax bill. A common problem with startup options.

The author’s suggestions are great if you can convince the company to write special grants for you that differ from others, but good luck getting some of those requests through if you’re not a very valuable employee. If the company has a 90 day exercise window, they’re probably not interested in granting a single person a unique 10-year exercise window.
We need to know how people settled. Was it permanent dwellings, limited-lifespan dwellings (wattle/reed), seasonal dwellings, or nomadic dwellings. If people kind of moved from season to season, or as local resources get depleted, then water creeping up is kind of just accepted as "they way things happen." If it was settled for hundreds of years and then water crept up, sure, I can see that being considered a flood if it happened quickly enough.

I guess we may have to live with guesswork as I doubt we'll have convincing answers.
Because it’s the expected behavior. If you showed up to an interview for an attorney position and your interviewer was shirtless you’d think they’d lost their mind.
I say laser because its kinda hard to make narrow beams with traditional waveguides.
> By the same token, drinking alcohol in shots, cold and concentrated, is about the worst way to consume it, because most of it is then spent ruining the liver, and little actually reaches the brain. Sipping a glass of wine does not compare.

That really isn’t how alcohol works in the bloodstream. Once it’s through the GI tract there is zero difference in what the source of alcohol is. Further, the liver takes a long time to break down a shot of alcohol or a glass of wine. The only real difference is to the throat, stomach lining where more concentrated alcohol can be a larger irritant. But again once it’s in the blood stream it’s both significantly diluted and rapidly spread throughout the body.

Now sipping wine with food does significantly slow absorption, but it’s the same effect if you take a shot in the middle of a meal.
It's not problematic. Just because Toyota happens to sell a product that contains a multi-purpose computer with a display, Toyota is not suddenly obligated to release free tools and libraries to allow third parties to port Firefox to their cars' head units. Having such a requirement would be insane, not to mention impossible given the existence of copyright laws[0]. Toyota's software is proprietary; if they don't want to release tools and libraries, that's their prerogative.

[0] And before you start arguing in opposition to intellectual property rights, remember that copyright law is necessary to enforce the GPL. Without the protection of copyright, GPL software cannot exist—everything becomes de-facto public domain, with none of the benefits of copyleft rules.
There is a BSL-2 lab in the Walking distance from the seafood market. See trompetenaccoun's comment above.
I'm not sure how society (or at least the US, because that's the only society I'm familiar with) can properly tackle sleep problems.

Encouraging people to track their sleep would be awesome, but $130 is still completely out of reach for low wage workers. You can save up for a $400 phone or some other luxuries that bring joy into your life but $130 towards sleep tracking? Nobody will want to save towards that, and I'm not sure they should.

My idea if society wanted to tackle this issue would be for the government to step in and provide these smart watches to everybody, much like how some companies have giving fitbits to all their employees to promote more walking and awareness of sedentry. The US already spends $11k/person/year on healthcare, so a one-time cost of $130/person seems small and could even break even if it encourages people to be more active and helps with the obesity crisis.

Unfortunately because it would be the government promoting this, there will be people convinced that it's another device to spy on you through. I mean, it's a device constantly measuring your heartbeat and movement to see if you're sleeping or not. Some sherif would probably try to subpenea Garmin to see the heart rates of people suspected of a crime.
Huh? You can't just keep importing, because your trading partners want to be paid.

In the long run, imports and exports have to be balanced.

(Some countries export capital goods, like the US: when Chinese investors buy American startups or real estate that doesn't show up on your usual export statistics, but essentially it's still an American export.)

So if you are importing, you can't help but develop exporting industries.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by bargaining chip? What's there to bargain? You just declare unilateral free trade, and let other people decide on their own policy.
Likewise, fancy AIs playing starcraft take also unpredictable moves that well trained human players would never suspect.
It's around 15% of the population (48 mil) of us population for marijuana. So yes the traffic stops were positively correlated with drug possesion.

NB: The most optimistic reason for this correlation would be: 'Drug possession' correlates with 'drug use' correlates with 'driving while impaired' correlates with 'driving in a way that gets you pulled over'.
Sounds like a huge number, but it’s only about $100 per US citizen, spread across multiple years for these projects.
Israeli lives are worth at least $400 / year each to the United States, given the $3.3B annual aid and a population of 9M. Since 2007, when the US stopped economic aid, it's been entirely military aid. (https://explorer.usaid.gov/cd/ISR)

In total, Afghanistan gets more, $4.9B, but that only comes to $129 per Afghan. (That's the "you break it, you bought it" plan, I guess.) The next highest is Jordan, $1.7B or $170 per each. (Yeah, we're paying for both sides of this dust-up.) So I think we can agree that Jewish lives are worth quite a lot. Just wish they could get along with their neighbors.
How does this stop the next thief from doing the same? Looks like I will loose everytime and the thief has no consequences other than someone analyzing why they did it? Who cares about my loss?

Keep in mind, I'm not advocating putting someone in a box. I have no solution either. I haven't seen proof that doing what CA is doing reduces pretty crime either. So paint me skeptical
Massive kudos, SSHTron has to be one of the coolest hacks I've seen. Really enjoyed playing for 10 minutes or so :D
Thank you for your reply. I'm sincerely sorry if I hurt you.
Tesla was relying on direct subsidies to customers for purchasing a Tesla. That's a little different than government contracts or massive tax breaks.

I learnt this one early on and definitely still encourage it (but aware of your caveat too). But I describe it differently when I'm coaching, and I think I've used the phrase "try to get your conditionals out of the way early".

My rationale is that having done this, I'm left with a smaller combinatoric mental space to work within. Like "if the program counter has reached this point then I know for a fact that X, Y, and Z don't apply - the function would have exited early if they did". And that then means the remaining set of things I have to keep in my working memory is reduced, which makes life easier.

Is that similar to how you see this advice?
Τσελσι vs. Λεστερ, αλλάζουν τα δεδομένα τώρα
Η Τσέλσι αναμένεται να υποδεχτεί τη Λέστερ Σίτι στο Στάμφορντ Μπριτζ στην Πρέμιερ Λιγκ την Τρίτη, με τις δύο ομάδες να προσπαθούν να αυξήσουν τις πιθανότητές τους να τερματίσουν στις τέσσερις πρώτες θέσεις της βαθμολογίας για να αγωνιστούν στο Champions League της επόμενης σεζόν. Η Λέστερ νίκησε την Τσέλσι με 1-0 για να κερδίσει το πρώτο της FA Cup στο Γουέμπλεϊ το Σάββατο, οπότε θα είναι μια γρήγορη ανάκαμψη και για τις δύο ομάδες

We'll tell a higher-up why his new plan is stupid and that we're not very excited to waste our time it

I'm curious how this scales. In your culture, how do you deal with a thousand people in a company feeling comfortable telling the CEO how wrong he is? What happens when 500 people think one way and 500 think the other?
Yeah, I think Tesla is just shooting themselves in the foot here. They should be sponsoring a healthy third party aftermarket, they should be adding easy to use ODB ports, they should be publishing service bulletins. And if indeed Munro and other EV enthusiasts are right that maintenance costs will be 90% lower, Tesla should be offering 20 year warranties on their car to give potential buyers, especially used car buyers, ease of mind when purchasing their cars. It's a new tech, there are lots of question marks about long term reliability, so if Tesla is so confident that these are non-issues, they should step in and insure car buyers from these risks. If indeed these cars are incredibly cheap to maintain, it wont cost Tesla much and will open a floodgate of new buyers.
Unrelated to what you're saying, but how are you both an attorney and a dev? I think both professions on their own are demanding, let alone both.
The Mediterranean has been full throughout human prehistory.

Some think the Black Sea was much smaller, and filled up, during the period in question. But evidence there is inconclusive.

We know there was a cataclysmic meteor strike toward the west end of the Persian Gulf, well after it had filled in.
I don't understand your argument. Jewish Palestinians plus non-Jewish Palestinians do make up 100% of Palestinians.
Ha! I literally just sat at my PC and saw your response at 3m old. Yea I've noticed I tend to test pretty well on all the official charts but really can't hear a difference in a lot of "audiophile" stuff people claim night/day differences. I had a beat up, 10+ year old pair of sennheizer hd600's that I never got tired of listening to. I finally had them refurbished and they don't sound as "easy" to listen to.

One thing is I suffer from tinnitus or something because at night I am always aware of a constant noise or "roar" in my hearing as well as my visual noise in my eyesight. I have pretty terrible eyesight so my hearing circuitry may have just amped the volume a bit to compensate (like upping iso on a camera).

In both our cases I wonder how much of this is just our brains have learned to pick things out of the signals are ears give vs our ears actually being more/less capable than other people. I think my brain has just had a lot of practice. I've always loved music, practiced classical piano hours a day when I was younger, and cut my teeth programming learning DSP algos for audio processing. I recently did a hobby project involving reproducing NES music from ROMs and that involved just listening to raw square/triangle waves and literally just following intuition to get everything to sound right. I'm willing to bet my case is one more of training than raw ability.
I agree. I’m shit at chess and even I can see the solution to the first problem presented.

If we’re just going to say, “no one will ever do that in real life” then the humans will just start finding AI weaknesses and how to maximally exploit them.

I play board games and I definitely “play my opponent”.
Growing up, my Dad had a few years working odd shifts. 3rd shift was the hardest on him physically as he had a really hard time sleeping during daylight hours. 2nd shift was the one that made him demand a return to 1st shift.

There was about 18 months where I lived in the same house as him and literally never saw him. He would leave before I returned from school and arrive home after we were asleep. In the mornings, we'd be off to school again before he woke up. Combined with him having to work 3 of 4 weekends a month, it was hard on all of us. He did what he needed to provide for us and I am grateful but I'm more grateful that he's enjoying a decent retirement today.

>Some relatives of mine got to experience a fun little hostage situation with, "either you pay [absurd figure] per month for a couple years for drug rehab at a facility we chose, for your adult kid, plus smaller amounts of money for other stuff pretty much indefinitely, or or they rot in prison rather than getting out on probation".

The entire host of companies people are forced to do business with by court order are like this. Rehab, post conviction monitoring, etc. etc. They're all scum. And they get away with it because nobody will defend criminals.

Every time something like OUI comes up in passing on HN there's be a miles long comment chain where everybody is piling on about how they're terrible people. Sure, fine, they may be, but they also have rights. People like you (probably you reading this very comment) are why ignition interlocks and ankle bracelets can be made that report false positives left and right, the companies that run them can charge stupid amounts of money and get away with it all. Because your principals go out the window as soon as someone is convicted of something you don't like.
I might not be able to hear those frequencies, but I can sure as hell hear the artifacts. All I need to do is use my $300 B&O headphones.
Ask HN: Why are dynamic type systems important?
Is there really a necessary use case? If a type is eventually expected to meet the parameter requirements of a procedure, what is the benefit? You could argue that in a language where all types are compatible with all operators this isn't true. But you can't always write code that's compatible with all trivial types.

Working with Python, a lot of times I find myself having to figure out the type anyway.

Is it just to make higher level languages more friendly to beginners, until they learn enough to realize data types do exist?

No, I'm saying that "mincemeat" has nothing to do with meat preservation. Mince pies certainly exist (though in my neck of the woods, it's more likely to be a tourtierre).
Nickpicking: the CCP foundational congress was held on 23 July 1921, making it 100 years old in a couple of month. The Red Army was founded on 15 July 1927, which is why it is generally assumed (seriously or not, I don't know) that China aims at reuniting with Taiwan before 2027.

But the CCP has been controlling mainland China for a little bit over 70 years, indeed.
So what are we supposed to do about it? Work less? Lol.
Thank you for this comment. I had a hard time putting into words the aspect of “barrier of entry to change” which makes everything else “click”. It’s such a simple context, but hard to put into actual simple words.
> if the source was natural and zootonic, we would have expected to find the intermediate animal by now.

Only if you assume it's both widespread and endemic in the intermediate animal population.

If it's spreading at low levels through that population for some reason (like being a less social animal) then it's trying to find a needle in a haystack, and that's on top of the needle/haystack of identifying the correct animal and population.

If it's not endemic we may never find it, perhaps the intermediate population were well on their way to herd immunity before the virus jumped to humans leaving little to no trace.

There are some other possibilities too, like it could have been transmitting undetected among relatively isolated humans (like small farming villages) for some time before an infected farmer visited a market. This would significantly broaden the scope of when and where the infected animal population was.

That we haven't found the source yet is incredibly weak evidence.
The bottom goes in and out of prison and does just fine. You can't threaten them because they have little to lose. A year working less than ideal jobs and they're back where they were.

This is how you threaten the middle. You threaten their wealth and their careers.
because you didn’t pay them yet. you probably don’t have instant deposit so they were waiting for the money to clear from your bank account.
A blockchain-based TLD like dot-hns would be one thing, but that's not what Handshake is, right? Handshake looks at the existing DNS infrastructure built over the last 35 years or so, says "oh, that's ours", and sells shares in it.
I wonder if it's a good way to hire "people who job with technology".
That is exactly the point. It's not about proving your point or bring proven right or wrong. It's about understanding the other point of view. That's what discussion is all about.

Is Slack Destroying American Companies? Q&A with Antonio Garcia-Martinez
Maybe he means that China is less like a country and more like an organized crime syndicate wearing a nation's clothes?
Same with me and my wife. Getting two Tiles was a life-saver, and good for the relationship ;)
Not Dutch, but I imagine the CEO directly tells the 500 people who disagree to piss off.
Very good question with a very short answer: by asserting your rights and sticking to the script. It won’t stop you from getting railroaded but it could save you in court if you end up there:

1. When they pull you over: Why did you pull me over?

2. When they ask you questions: I’m not talking about my day

3. If they keep asking questions: Am I being detained or free to go?

4. If you are detained or arrested: I plead the fifth

5. Stop speaking [0]

The supreme court decided that a traffic stop is just that, it’s not a license to hold someone on the side of the road and wait for a drug dog beyond the time it actually takes for the traffic stop + ticket. If there is probable cause / reasonable suspicion, vague but important concepts, the officer will not need a drug dog to search your car. But if you fail to assert your rights you may unintentionally consent to wait around for a dog you have no responsibility to wait for.

This won’t stop you from having your rights violated in the moment, but failing to assert your rights (or worse, waiving them) will ensure that you don’t have them later in court if that’s where things head.

But what’s the point? Political conversations, even civil ones where everyone walks away understanding each other’s POV and agree to disagree, usually aren’t going to accomplish anything concrete, because very few people have the opportunity to affect government policy.

The best case scenario is that talking about politics doesn’t make your relationship worse. The most likely outcome, as you’ve noticed, is that we both leave convinced that each other are idiots. The good outcomes of more ordinary conversation, where we learn from each other and put what you learn into action, doesn’t exist. So what’s the point?
Be careful what you wish for. The best ROI form of punishment is fines. Government loves fines because they make money rather than cost money. Nobody wants to live in a police state that hands out fines for everything.

It was fun at first, but I left on the first Mailchimp ad.
Yes. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'd be surprised if any of the subscription streaming audio services let you download unencrypted, unencumbered FLAC/lossless files. That would seem to run counter to the whole concept of a subscription pricing model.
‘Anti-White Watch’ Is the Racist Answer to Surging Hate Crimes
Interesting songs. "Crossing the Channel" doesn't seem to have a strange tempo so much as the piano chord on the offbeat (and perhaps some swing on it as well, I can't quite tell).

The problem I think AI generate music has to overcome is that it kind of meanders around without coming to any "conclusions". That said, perhaps this is the perfect music for wandering around a town in an RPG!
It's why they target news agencies such as AP. Now you can't get pictures on the ground. So we all have to rely on is low resolution maps to judge damage. "Security measures", or so they say.

This comes up periodically. The status does not seem to have changed in quite some time. They don't even have a scale prototype yet, much less anything like a full scale design. No place to build it, etc. At this point it's vaporware.
