Nothing about reverse osmosis can't be scaled down in size or cost.

The actual membranes are $9 for enough for 100 gallons per day (retail prices, [1]).

High pressure pumps and hoses scale linearly. Solar panels scale linearly. Filters scale linearly.

In fact, using this solar fountain [2] as the basis for the design, and switching the pump impeller for a high pressure version, and the nozzle for an RO membrane and hose, you immediately have a drinking water machine for a few people for $20. The fountain already has a pre-filter built in.

Brilliant read.
I imagine any significant flow would cause turbulence and surface movement, causing the surface tension to break.
I'd never heard of this before. Would you know if the offer will hold good in the future (on signup now) or if it's only for something like the first year (and will be switched to the normal one later)?

It's also not clear what the jurisdictions of the company (I presume Latvia) and its data centers are.

i recorded all the sessions of my knowledge transfer sessions and put them on a web page. I also created a new employee forum to ask questions. Now i just point new joinees to go through these sessions and ask questions in the forum. Every quarter i review if new session needs to be added based on past answers in forum or some previous session needs to be removed due to outdated knowledge. It is working fine since last 4-5 years. I have now left the company however the system is still in place and other teams have adopted this practice as well.

> The idea that greed is positive and that helping others only "enables laziness"

Who says this? I've never met someone who thinks charity is a bad thing.
Most very dangerous transmittable diseases (like covid, TB, small pox), all moved from animals to human. Virus' in general evolve to not be particularly deadly, they can't spread if they kill the host. So the ones that do kill you, basically jump from one species to ours, and turn out to be very deadly. Bovine TB isn't a huge deal for cows, in the same way a cold isn't for us, but it'll really mess a person up.

Eurasia had much better options for domesticating a wide variety animals, so in general people lived in closer proximity to lots of animals, and generally unhygienic to boot. Which all lead to more diseases spreading over.

The America's only had a few domesticated species that deadly viruses could hop from.

I don't know if it is a good comparison, as European countries (France included) are subject to GDPR, which does not really have an equivalent in the U.S.

> there's no actually knowing anything, so we may as well pick whatever just-so story we like?

What do you think is going on here? There isn't enough evidence to create an accurate truth, we've got no way of deciding if an accurate truth has been uncovered and it doesn't matter at all anyway. The process by which "truth" is found has a heavy bias towards good storytelling and typically strong political overtones.

Do you feel HN is upvoting the story because anyone feels that accurately depicting the neanderthal lifestyle will have profound bearing on the course of the modern world? I doubt even the historians think that. Maybe something will come of it, but realistically everyone is in this for the fun of imagining what might have happened, and the joy of arguing about it confidently from flimsy evidence.
The point about learning to deal with unwelcoming environments is also that, after more than 30 years, the fighting spirit and a certain degree of agressive stance is still in me.

Eactly, I'm moving much more towards FreeBSD now because Apple is taking so much away from us power users. Its jails (and the ports collection) are amazing.

For one thing: I always require certificate logins on SSH. On Mac I used to simply change /etc/ssh/sshd_config to this effect, but since Catalina macOS reverts this with every update. Clearly they don't want me poking around in there :(

IMO if you offer SSH you should offer certificate-only access as well, either with a glitzy on/off button or with a config file change, whatever. But nope...

With Apple you get a lot of security for 'free', however you give up a lot of customisation in return, even in terms of security features.
>Now on the other hand, if Europe had suffered something like 50%+ death from American diseases while indigenous Americans suffered much lower death tolls from European disease - in other words, the reverse of what actually happened - then I figure that all bets would have been off.

The Black Plague killed off 50% of the population in quite a few countries and it didn't result in any invasion. I'm not sure the rationale stands without a technological imbalance as a basis.

Why all of this complexity to simply show a list of locations that can be rented? Maybe they can implement the simple ability to sort by price before tackling yet another new way to render a user interface to get around building native apps on basically 2 platforms ios and Android.

Rendering performance is one of the few things left that Chrome has up its sleeve as an edge over their competitors (mainly Firefox), at least on Linux.

Out of the box, Firefox has terrible rendering performance, not to mention hw-accelerated video decoding. Now, Chrome is not a whole lot better out of the box, since it still applies old "Driver bug workarounds" that have long been fixed in mesa/GPU drivers, but this is easy to circumvent with the `--disable-gpu-driver-bug-workarounds`.

I've been running Chromium with the said flag for over half a decade now, and I have yet to see one of the bugs manifest. Firefox on the other hand, has a similar entry in `about:config`, but one needs to tinker with even more flags to get Firefox to acceptable performance (Somehow, enabling xrender makes WebGL fast, but makes video decoding have weird jitter, etc).

The day Firefox gets comparable WebGL/video decode performance will most likely be the day I switch.

Well, to go by your prior comments, you're confusing "pick whatever just-so story you like" with how history is done. Feel free to continue, of course; I've more or less given up arguing with post-truthers in general, and certainly see no point in doing so here.

Yeah, no. The dynamics definitely changed, you're not just able to observe more. Think about this from a network-theoretical perspective: how is content- and sentiment-aggregation not only possible, but incentivized through the components which emerged from the economy of attention? How does this affect reflection? Which socio-psychological dynamics were enabled over the course of the last 20 years, and which systemic implications came with these dynamics?

We're not simply playing the games we used to play, far from it. You used to have some contact to society, but that's over. Your neighbours and your reality aren't the same anymore - but they used to. Every feed is individualized, the meaning of social interaction was reinvented entirely. And this statement was already true 15 years ago, an entire generation rolled in in the meantime. We're not just seeing more, I would argue that the opposite is the case. We're seeing less, because everything we see online is catered to what we want to see. That's how the economy of attention works, its the whole point of it. The implications of these changes are abundant.

> It is likely new on the market and I am tempted to say it has near-zero reputation for anyone looking for a private mail right now.

GP here. Not sure if you meant Migadu in this sentence, but Migadu is not new in the email market. It has been around for several years (don't want to visit the website to look it up). I also don't believe that it has near-zero reputation.
Wow, I didn't know about this and it is definitely connected to the prompt experimentation I've been doing with GPT-3. Incredible images and lots of exciting paths forward to generate new styles of outputs. I wonder how seriously this is being taken in the art world. It seems like it could be an incredible installation in an art museum.
They’re aggregating massive databases about us, so maybe it’s time for a database detailing the private data of the wealthy. I wouldn’t mind some naming and shaming.
They could have put Xcode on the iPad this whole time, at this point I'm fairly convinced they never will. Eventually they'll kill the Mac off and you'll be expected to use CI artifacts from your feature branches to test your code.
To be fair. Without constant refreshing shots it's very likely you won't be protected in 10 years either way.
This is a very insightful comment and I wish more people recognized the practical realities here instead of just complaining about change in MacOS.
I find it amusing that you group sustainability under social progressiveness, imho conserving natural resources so that future generations can live a similar life to current generations is an important part of conservative politics. Caring about the environment was for example a popular policy of the NSDAP ("Umweltschutz ist Heimatschutz" is something you still hear some nationalist parties say). Arguably environmentalism gained popularity at least in part because of nationalism.

For the other points I think the devil is in the details. If you only count parties as "not left" that are completely against sexual equality and immigration you will have a hard time finding anything. Perhaps the AfD would be closer to your "not left" definition, but even they have openly homosexual members in important positions, and I believe they're not against immigration of highly qualified workers...
You can opt to only ever use + and then put a lot of weight on spam score on anything not using the + (or using whitelisting without the +). It can also help when trying to figure out who leaked your data. Literally, data breaches have been found/exposed by a few heroes who used this feature.
1) The overall "mood" wasn't good, as we were locked in perpetual half-lockdown and other developed countries like the UK and US had a better vaccine rollout than us. - Now the country is opening up again, vaccine rollout is going well, so all is forgotten and forgiven.

2) There were multiple corruption scandals coming to light in the ruling party: In spring 2020 the halth ministry ordered overprized masks from politically well-connected entrepreneurs. In a different story, multiple backbenchers and local politicans of the conservative parties had backroom deals with the Aserbaijani dictatorship. The conservative party in Germany has often been caught in corruption, but it seems to hurt them much less than the other parties.

3) The CDU/CSU elected a candidate who doesn't inspire much confidence.

The dip of the Greens can be explained by a mix of the rollout going well now, the scandals being forgotten again, and massive (social) media campaign against the Greens, often on the basis of false information. (Actually reminds me of Hillary's emails)
>Remember that diseases travel faster than European invaders, so by the time they arrive at those locations the population is already in kind of chaos and traumatised.

What I got from that book was even more surprising. It's that by the time the Europeans got there the devastation had gone. The chaos and trauma one night expect from a horrific war had gone, like Europe 50 years on from WW2, this was over 150 (I think) later, so now instead was jungle, small villages, tiny populations. The scars back then were not visible to the Europeans, as disease hit these people a couple or more generations ago.
GP here. My points were about surveillance arrangements and information exchange between countries, like the Five Eyes, Nine Eyes, Fourteen Eyes, etc. Also, as far as I know, Migadu does not encrypt data at rest. Anyone who gets access to the servers gets access to all the data.
With improvmx.com you can point a domain at them, and then set catch-all forwarding to e.g. Gmail. Sending is possible thanks to most providers (incl. Gmail) allowing sending from different address after verification, and if you set DKIM and SPF it shouldn't cause any issues.

FTA: "Unlike some desalination systems, there is no accumulation of salt or concentrated brines to be disposed of. In a free-floating configuration, any salt that accumulates during the day would simply be carried back out at night through the wicking material and back into the seawater, according to the researchers."

The capabilities are freaking interesting, but let's say someone builds a big enough settlement on a coastline or island in which every building has one or more of these devices on its rooftop. Would this release back enough salt so that the surrounding seawater becomes hostile to its previous lifeforms? Also, since then the water used in the process would contain more salt, how much would that render the device less efficient?
It would be more sensible to assume that "trust me, I'm smart" developers will eventually work out what they need to do - possibly after the third or fourth time they lose all their work to ransomware, but more realistically, by following the inevitable online tutorials which will appear.

OS security is generally a shit show anyway. I don't think it's bad to lock down the OS for most users, but it should still be possible for expert users to get expert access.

If there are security consequences, they should be trusted to learn how to deal with them.

Most will - and the rest will have bad experiences.
>At the beginning, there were irregularities in her CV. Now she has a recently unearthed history of plagiarism in her book and the party tried its best to avoid confession of any wrongdoing.

The CV irregularities seem to be rather minor (probably deliberate) miss-translations from English to German, if I understood it all correctly. Definitely not good, but hardly worthy of a proper scandal. The plagiarism stuff is all BS. Did someone use ctrl-c and ctrl-v? Yes. To an illegal or even immoral extent? IMO, no.

> A pandemic of toxic individualism

Given the social constraints that the various lockdown measures imposed on us, I would argue that you are correct, but not for the reason you think. The response to the pandemic has, in a toxic and damaging way, turned us into atomised and isolated individuals.

Those demanding freedoms back, are actually requesting that we return to an integrated, social society.
That proves it then, what could go wrong...

On a more serious note the investing and fintech market is incredibly dynamic and competitive. Robinhood is popular because it has big shark backers who successfully convinced many young people that trades are free, even though the cost is just hidden elsewhere. Which more and more slowly come to realize. The whole brokerage market has the potential to be shaken up badly by decentralized exchanges. I'd not invest in something like this now and it's unclear why they would need the money anyway. They're cashing out.
To be fair Facebook used to send an enormous amount of spam emails, at least to me. Years ago when I used it somewhat regularly they used to constantly shuffle their contact preferences and the effect was that I was constantly opted back in to an insane amount of emails. Eventually I just started marking them as spam until Gmail blocked everything they send. I've seen family Email addresses fairly recently full of Facebook junk too so I assume they still default to sending a lot.
OK, so none of those things are dumbing down, they're just decisions you don't agree with.

Web apps on mobile are ugly, slow, and glitchy with few exceptions unless they simply display a document in which case there is no need to build an app.

The amount of silliness that companies go through to avoid writing native, well-performing apps on basically 3 platforms for relatively simple applications is quite impressive.
Notarisation actually appeared in Mojave, though it was not yet required. I also don't like Apple having to validate every app I run. Sure it adds security but in this case it depends on the decisions of hundred-billion-dollar company. Whose interests are probably not 100% aligned with my own. I miss the ability to override things when I deem it necessary.

Hello desktop looks good indeed, though a but too early for me too. Right now I use KDE on FreeBSD. It's a bit too 'Windowsy' but Gnome is far too much 'new Apple', taking away user choice, so it's not an option for me.
