You can do this but it is more expensive.

There are two stages: power factor correction, and the forward converter. The forward converter uses a transformer mainly for isolation. The power factor corrector exists because the transformer is an inductive load. If you have too much of an inductive or capacitive load on a distribution network you affect is performance.

You can make the power factor corrector, which does the rectification, out of active components that switch in time with the AC signal. This eliminates the voltage drop of the diodes which can be a few percentage points of efficiency and a fair bit of heat.

If you didn't need to isolate the power supply you could chop mains directly but you need to manage the radiated noise. The current designs try to maximize safety and then economy and then efficiency. Coincidentally, the power factor correction, done correctly, also helps reduce radiated noise by keeping the system synchronized with the incoming power. (This is not precisely accurate but is an interesting way to think of it.)

The bigger issue here is... what can Belarusian people do?

It seems nowadays any people acquiring power in a smaller country can only care about keeping this power, and nothing else.

And any revolutionary movement against dictators in these smaller countries can only hope for the replacement of one oppressive regime with another potentially more oppressive regime.

It's a lose-lose situation. And it makes me extremely sad.
The statistical probability of a crop randomly mutating a gen that would express a new complex alkaloid from scratch is close to zero (We know it because hasn't happened often in the last 3000 years)... but can be easily done with GMO.

To blend all those different techniques under the same term would be useless and confusing to both science and consumers.

"primarily with Apple Mail"

We started having this recently when sending quotations to customers. We ended up sending attached PDFs instead,so Apple Mail won't complain anymore. It can be either content or how the domain is setup,still not sure to this day.
It's not my job to construct your argument for you, if you think there's a viable point to make there then say what you mean for yourself.

As I've previously shown, Play Store is rife with apps requesting far too many permissions, I've no idea what Facebook specifically asks for.

Twice?
> It's not theft. But still it's most likely a contract violation of the contract between the production company and Apple. Apple would never in a million years allow any of their suppliers to sell Apple specific parts to the aftermarket.

Then it only concerns those parties and it's literally not our business to worry about.
Apart from the naturally contentious dialogue that happens on Twitter, the ethical ramifications of designing this study aren’t clear to me. Seems like as more data becomes available, recommendations will change.
[The original paper which introduced Monads to Haskell](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/...) is a fantastic read, and extremely easy to understand. It explains clearly why monads are a good option, and what problem they're meant to solve in Haskell.

In the article itself, the line:

> As it happens the computation will need the value of b before that of a. If this is a problem, we can write the definition of root1 as

Is actually quite interesting: the problem being described there is almost identical to one of the problems that Haskell had with I/O, which motivated the introduction of monads.
A mechanic is in a good position to notice that when a car fails, it tends to fail in certain ways. Far too often, though, they then generalize to claims that the car is likely to fail in that way, but that is not necessarily the case. It may be that they fail 1% as often as competitors and due to a relatively fewer number of causes. Without being in a position to see the absolute failure rate, a mechanic may incorrectly conclude that those parts they see failing are especially badly designed even if they are more reliable than the industry average.
Thanks for the insight, I really wasn't aware of the extent of their actions.

The quote I posted is a bit cryptic by itself. What I meant by it was that perhaps the US had plans that would lead to greater benefits for them in the region, but these plans backfired by inadvertently creating the Somali piracy problem.

They did everything right with regards to whatever they were hoping to achieve, but they still failed and then pirates happened.

> If $2/hr vs $10/hr is indeed the thing preventing repair being economical , that seems like it can be fixed with a mixture of incentives, apprenticeship contracts, and elevating the social status of "vocational education" (the name exists IMO only to serve as status-lowering).

That incentive is the $x per hour. And the low $x per hour relative to quality of life is what causes the status lowering. Status is not lowered by a couple words. A doctor spends a ton of time in “vocational education”.

I'm saying that what Facebook did has nothing to do with whether the device manufacturer has an app distribution monopoly.
I've proposed an approach that is simple, equation oriented and trivial to implement. I think a substantive discussion off its merits is more useful than arguing about consensuses.The Haskell alternative is to write what are obviously commands in what looks like C and I don't see this as pure. Sometimes the emperor has no clothes.
How long ago was the last viable standard-configuration OpenSSH pre-auth vulnerability? Was it within the last decade? If it's the Debian RNG vulnerability --- a platform vulnerability, not an OpenSSH vulnerability --- how much further back do you have to go to find the next one?
I know a guy who had a Cray at work (at one of the spooky national research labs that will remain nameless), which was of course on display in a room with big windows that visitors could look through to admire it. He knew a particular tour group was coming through, so he hid inside the Cray until they arrived at the window. Then he walked out of the Cray while zipping up his fly, looked up and saw the people gawking at him, pretended to be startled, flashed an embarrassed grin, and shuffled away.
Mail chimp stores it’s data in the us and German courts found that it breached GDPR because of US spy laws.
It’s easy to demonstrate that the IO monad is pure by reimplementing it in 100% pure code.

{-# LANGUAGE GADTs #-}

data IO' a where
Pure :: a -> IO' a
Bind :: IO' a -> (a -> IO' b) -> IO' b
PutStrLn :: String -> IO' ()
GetLine :: IO' String
-- more IO operations…

instance Functor IO' where
fmap f ma = Bind ma (Pure . f)

instance Applicative IO' where
pure = Pure
mf <*> ma = Bind mf (\f -> Bind ma (Pure . f))

instance Monad IO' where
(>>=) = Bind

The actual implementation in GHC is much more efficient, of course. GHC does all sorts of magic to hide the fact that it’s generating straight-line code instead of a tree-like data structure full of continuation functions. But it’s semantically equivalent.
That’s also art, just the one of making the fugliest building possible.
Yes and no. There is some value in the experience gained. That being said, there might be better experiences to be gained (i.e., stick with Mailchimp and learn some other tool).

Regardless, it's not simply about time.
Always necessary.

So you're saying that if we just allow them to request full permissions upfront then there's no need to go around the backdoor?

... not sure how that's supposed to be reassuring for user privacy concerns.

Again, on Android, you've got even things like flashlight apps asking for far too many permissions, let alone Facebook.
Agreed and it's expected, but the question posed was whether there's actual current instances of crypto helping people in the third-world, or whether it's just a bunch of hypothetical future promises of value.

You can’t.

Even quality brands have crappy models.

They are not necessarily the cheapest ones, it is possible that the 400w is fine, the 550w is crap, and the 600w is fine again, even if they are in the same series.

They can also change the specs over time, without any indication on the packaging.

You have to look for reviews where they actually disassemble and check the insides of the psu to determine if it is a good buy.

There is a forum local to my language where they keep track of the small number of truly recommended models, there must be an English equivalent.
GDPR as far as I know applies to anyone collecting data within the EU. But seriously the people who would think this is a great ad for mailchimp because the savings are so low are companies.
Correct, that’s what both companies do.
I think you have a good point, but is there any proof they have focus tested it?

My second question would be, are focus groups equipped to make a decision for potentially billions of users (given the sheer volume, and that focus groups are cherry-picked)?
Defaultname’s original comment isn’t flamebait. It just expresses a fairly mild opinion about the direction that Rossman’s channel has taken. It’s especially ironic that you should be so concerned about assuming the best intentions. When has Rossman ever done that in the case of Apple?!

Like defaultname, I also think that Rossman has done a lot of good, but that doesn’t mean that everyone has to love his YouTube channel or refrain from saying anything critical about it.
I would suggest you may not be the right person to use code in these repos.

That just means that you wrote evil into your default contract.

Terrible advice from an educational perspective.

I use Github all the time to find code samples, especially for 3D stuff, shaders, audio, emulation, demoscene... It's more common to find solutions to my problems in zero-star projects than in big ones.

Lots of people star my code-as-art experiments too, and from the forks I can see they find educational value in it.

Not everything in the world has to fit perfectly into some preconceived mold. Heck, in that case, the most interesting/educational things are trying to avoid that.
Yes. I had a Trello board specifically for this purpose.

If you're selective about the job you want then you have to cast your net far and wide until you find The One. Recruiters will ghost you, low salary bands will be withheld until the second or third call, you won't find out about team drama until one interviewer talks trash about another that you spoke to earlier, a remote job will magically turn into an on-site one because the recruiter told you incorrectly, your prospective manager will expect 60 hour weeks plus a mandatory on-call rotation with no compensation, twelve-hour-long coding assignments involving proprietary technologies and/or reverse engineering will be sprung on you prematurely, etc.

On the flip side of this you should know what it is that you're good at and want to do for a living. Since you know yourself better than any recruiter or future coworker the onus is somewhat on you to make sure that the positions you're considering are a good fit. You shouldn't, for instance, waste time interviewing for a mobile development job just because you built an app for your current employer for a few months once if you really aren't passionate about it and actually want to develop distributed back-end systems.

It's always better to hold out for a position that will set both you and your employer up for success. Taking a job just because it's there for a paycheck will leave both parties unsatisfied in the end.

All real and legit concerns. Fraud remains a big problem which is why returns are so high right now - we're all early adopters.

But there are new developments constantly. On-chain insurance against smart contract failure and hacks is a thing (see: https://nexusmutual.io/). More sophisticated insurance strategies to compartmentalize risk are coming up (see https://www.unn.finance/). Protocol design to reduce risk exposure are being experimented with (see: https://saffron.finance/).

It's all new and all very exciting. It's moving very fast and its really fun to be in. I haven't been this excited by anything since the early web.
I can see where you're coming from. It is an opinion I have from privilege - I don't live a privileged life but I don't struggle either (middle income bracket).

After reading your use cases I do have empathy for people in those situations, where governments and centralized agencies are corrupt etc - just not entirely sure this solves any of that.
> So like yes, you can implement insurance and messaging and contracts with blockchain. Is there a need to do that? Does it make sense? Would that business work? (Zero percent of such businesses have worked)

The tricky part of this, of course, is in the Bitcoin space “validity” hinges upon valuation. Unfortunately cryptocurrency valuation is based on narrative entirely, and narratives continue driving trading volumes even in the face of undeniable technological shortcomings, see e.g. the saga of continual unstable “stablecoin” implosions, or Ripple.

It is our business to worry about. Such gross violation would be stamped out hard in the US and EU. This is one of the reasons it's hard/expensive to finds parts if you are not in Shenzhen. There should be laws that disallow exclusivity of parts.

I went to the DDR museum in Berlin today. Part of their display is a whole exhibit devoted to how the Stasi monitored the lives of ordinary East Germans.

Honestly, it was kinda laughable. It was so primitive compared to what the 5 eyes routinely do to their own citizens with the aid of social media. Really, they tapped the phone lines but if you said "we shouldn't talk on the phone" that wasn't an admission of guilt or an indication that they should follow you.

And the normal accusation was "mental illness" if you started behaving in ways that the regime didn't approve of. Glenn Greenwald's latest piece [0] on his struggles with corporate media rang the same bell: "Depicting critics of liberal orthodoxies as mentally ill, rage-driven bullies, and shadows of their former selves, is a long-time tactic of guardians of establishment liberalism to expel dissidents from their in-group circles." Replace liberalism with authoritarian socialism and same same.

I was struck by how far we've gone towards something that even the East Germans considered untenable and intrusive.

That's including AWS's insane profit margin, though. I have my cloud deployments with Hetzner, where extra traffic costs € 1.19 per TiB, so that 100 MiB app download would not be half cent, it would be 1/100th of a cent. (And that's before we consider that Hetzner gives 20 TiB per month free traffic with every VM.)
I have seen far too many articles of these types.

Fuck this. Where is this meme coming from? The US does not do this. The US didn't do this to Snowden either. What notably happened here is not that Belarus arrested a prominent journalist[1] opposing the ruling regime. Tin pot regimes do that every week.

What happened was that Belarus used its air defense apparatus and a faked "bomb threat" to force down a foreign aircraft[2] to which it had granted airspace transit privileges under false pretenses. That's an act of war, sorry.

Obviously it's not useless. I'd say it's super important even, because it fosters a culture beyond the dominant capitalist culture of consumption for the sake of consumption which seems to eat away at every facet of living leaving complete emptiness of meaning in its wake.

It's actually happened more than once. Perhaps the person you were replying to was lying; doesn't make their point valid, because it has actually happened.

People can follow the most complicated step by step instructions if they're explained clearly enough, by someone they feel they don't need to trust, and there's an incentive to follow them.

"Could" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. My point is AWS and Apple's App Store are very different business models. Once is about providing compute resource while the other is about providing a single pane of glass for software purchases.

Sure, the App Store "could" follow AWS's pricing model, but it makes more sense for it not to given the App Store is more analogous to a shop like eBay or even a physical store like Argos than it is a cloud computing data centre.

This is why I said the AWS/App Store comparison isn't apt.
German Public Sector IT: The Good Parts

That’s an interesting point. Note however that there are countless stories of app removed by apple because they supposedly duplicated apple apps or os features. So, in some way they’re already in that boat.
There's an important distinction here in that Apple is a for-profit company, not a government. It responds to market forces, not democratic ones. Its motivation is profit and shareholder value, not some semblance of fairness or a good society.

> most people just want a safe app store

We already have an example of how users behave when there's a platform that has a default app store and the ability to install others: only a tiny fraction of Android users sideload apps at all, much less install other stores. Users who don't want to think about which app stores are safe simply won't; they'll use the default one.

Yes, Apple has bad behavior. Sorry, the conversation is sometimes unclear from my Hacker News reader app and so my changing the conversation is probably unintentional as I didn't realize I was doing it, I apologize.

Yes, there is long history of behavior, but I think that there could be more discussion about why Apple does things than just assuming bad behavior. I was trying to give alternative explanations than just "apple is being bad as usual."
I wasn't expecting this to be lip syncing, and so many negative comments here about quality and "I'd rather watch dubs".

To me, this is "good enough" to watch. I don't like dubs because the voice is out of sync with the character, and removes you from the story. I don't like subtitles because I can read faster than they talk, and then I'm left with words blocking part of the scene, and I feel like I know what the person has said, yet their still talking.

This is a great start, and they'll continue to improve in the future.
