This spotty internet in Berlin is interesting. I have a Vodafone cable and I get 5 minute cuts to tje connection every now and then. Usually around 6pm to 8pm. Always five minutes, the modem blinks the lights and internet is back on. Every now and then it happens earlier and that really sucks when having a zoom meeting.

I monitor my internet with Grafana and can provide stats for these problems for the past few years...

> This is not an accurate reading of history.

Is there such a thing as an "accurate reading of history"? I posit it's impossible.

> Turkey had, in fact, been destroyed at the end of the First World War.

No. The ottoman empire essentially was.

> So rather than being the Western puppet you portray him as, Atatürk was quite aggressive in defending the sovereignty of the new nation in a way that very early on led to military conflict with Western powers, conflicts which he won.

Ah yes, the turks "beat" the british empire, french "empire", the US, etc combined. Does that make any sense to you?

Ataturk did what "the West" wanted. He ended the ottoman caliphate and created the modern turkish republic.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abolition_of_the_Caliphate

The West offered the turks two choices. Create a turkish republic and thereby ending the ottoman empire. Or enduring the destruction of the Ottoman Empire AND the turkish nation. The turkish elites "chose" the former rather than facing complete annihilation. And turkey has been a vassal of the West ever since. Not that they had any choice in the matter, no more than japan or germany had a choice in the matter.

There is an "accurate reading of history" and deciphering what is really happening. Europe had been wanting the ottoman empire destroyed for hundreds of years. Ataturk gave them what they wanted.

To think that ataturk or the turks decided the matter rather than the US, Britain, France, etc combined is rather naive. Do you really think the turks wanted to go from being the leaders of one of the greatest and wealthiest empires to a middling nation begging for acceptance at europe's doorstep? I don't think so. But the power dynamics being what they were, it is what happened.

> The size of the Tesla is the about same as a Volvo V60

Of course a model 3 doesn't have as much space inside as an estate/wagon. It makes more sense to compare a model y there. I could only find rear seats folded where it's 1920 L for model y and 1440 L for v60 (That might include the Y's frunk as well; the sources are not clear).

The 3/Y also crush the volvo for aerodynamics at 0.29 vs 0.23

In real world driving at 110-120 km/hr I get well under 150 kWh/100 km in my SR+. I wasn't able to find the ADAC testing, but they either did it at 130 km/hr+ or it was quite cold out.

You seem to be trying to say something, but you left out whatever you're trying to say.
Some basics of how people learn that I've found is:

* What do they know now (or think they understand)? You can only build knowledge on existing knowledge, so first find out what foundations exist (this connects to the author's "listener's worldview" idea).

* Tutoring (1-on-1) will almost always be better than teaching (1-to-many) because you can (if you try) better understand what's being understood and what's not.

* Learning is construction of desired knowledge, so learners have to "do" something and be provided quick feedback to build the desired concept (which is why learning on your own with little feedback is subject to learning the "undesirable" thing, even though it might have "worked" for you).

I did a talk on this topic (Human Learning) that you can find on YouTube (JitterTed.TV).
I fully agree with the statement, although the solution may be difficult. In general, there has to be a way to give negative feedback. Without any correction feedback loop at all, the worst of the worst is thriving.

Negative feedback is not just for consensus, also as a quality filter. I'll start with the example of Medium, the blogging platform.

The idea of this platform is to encourage long form high quality writing. But that's not what's happening. Every topic is hijacked by people gaming the system, producing endless streams of lazy articles that lack any original thought, any sources, nuance, any quality.

There's no way at all to give negative feedback other than blocking each individual author or writing a critical comment. Both don't solve the problem. I consider it an existential problem for the platform as only crap comes to the surface. Why would I possibly pay for this garbage? There has to be a way to clean the garbage.

So here, the idea of negative feedback is to serve as a quality filter.

On Twitter, it's a different use case. It's to reduce harm. Twitter is an outrage platform. Saying dumb, extreme, unhinged things will maximize engagement. The goal of negative feedback here would not be to censor anything, instead to tell the algorithm to dampen the "spread" factor. Show the post with lots of negative feedback less prominently in timelines, which will reduce the amount of retweets, new followers, etc. Somebody consistently extreme should not be rewarded for it.

Arguably, on Twitter it's going to be difficult. The way things work currently is their business model. Further, there's the mob mentality likely to abuse any such mechanism.

I'll end with an example where negative feedback is implemented extremely well. It's the dutch site tweakers.net. They have a pretty sophisticated comment system.

You vote on individual comments roughly like this:

-1: troll, offensive
0: off-topic, irrelevant
+1: on-topic (this is the default level)
+2: informative (enriches the topic)
+3: excellent (well researched essential addition)

So you give a quality vote, not an opinion/agreement vote. Some people still opinion vote, say a comment like this:

"Microsoft sucks"

And then give it a +3, instead of the -1 or 0 it should get. Do this a few times and they take away your voting rights entirely. You get one chance to get it back by begging, and if you promise to better your ways. Screw it up again and it's gone forever.

A fairly involved system, which will obviously not work everywhere, but it's really good.

> 1.5L engines are still pretty sizeable once you take into account the head, valve cover, oilpan. Then all the external parts needed to support combustion like water pump, radiator, coils and their wires and engine mounts. The total volume is a lot more than the 1.5L cylinders. Add in the fact Volt can directly power the wheels with the engine and now you are forced to put certain components in very specific, highly valuable places.

This entire paragraph is like saying an electric motor needs batteries and those batteries need cooling systems and those cooling systems need pumps and those pumps need power and...

No one claimed the entire drivetrain is 1.5L, but 1.5L gives you an idea of how relatively small the engine is. All the components you listed scale down in turn. Smaller engine running at a better point in its power band needs less cooling, less oil capacity, fewer oil changes, etc.

> The worst now outweighs (in this case literally as well as figuratively) the best.

I don't believe in this view point if we're being realistic about a low emission future.

We have an extensive gas infrastructure just sitting there today, meanwhile we have grids that can barely handle our current demands.

PHEVs are a chance for innovative solutions to that. Imagine power companies being able to direct people to use gas during (what will be increasingly frequent) extreme weather events then switch back.

And consider that PHEVs don't need to be Voltec-style all-in drivetrains. Conventional car designs can be converted to PHEVs like the old 3 series ActiveHybrid was.

And while people immediately recoil at the less than optimal results of not designing from the ground up around batteries and EV requirements, there's no changing the fact that designing new cars is expensive.

Affordable PHEVs based on current designs could open up EVs to more segments of the market than currently possible.
> Telegram has a lot of hacks but HN doesn't throw a fit.

It had the attention of HN. They seem to care about both Telegram and Signal's flaws. Just like you highlighting the 'security issues' in Telegram, there is no escape of highlighting Signal's 'security issues' and security researchers will do exactly the same. Once again, there are no exceptions.

> Besides, Telegram still isn't e2e by default, doesn't have e2e groups, and has no security audits. I'm not sure why this is in the same category as Signal.

I expect better from a 'secure alternative' that claims to be focusing on 'privacy and security' and that also proudly shows its list of security audits. Despite all of that, they introduce their own cryptocurrency coin just to get it listed on an exchange and used in Signal, Similar to Telegram's own cryptocurrency venture which failed. [0] Combine that with the security issues in this post which one of them taking half a year to fix and still using a phone number to login, it is no different to Telegram. They still haven't even fixed this serious security issue either. [1]

The worst part of all of this is their prioritisation on addressing these issues and went in favour of creating a cryptocurrency coin just like Telegram, which most likely explains the 7 months to address that security issue. At this point, their claim of upholding privacy and security is already damaged by all of the above.

"Businesses do have special considerations around discrimination outlined in the Americans With Disabilities Act and the Civil Rights Act, but these would not preclude a company from asking a customer or employee about vaccination status."

This needs to be changed either businesses can get all private health information or they can get none.

Our private information is not a candy in the candy shop so anybody can pick whatever he likes at the moment and "consume" it.

In Europe GDPR prevents private businesses to seek and gather any private health information from employees because there are many faces of discrimination not only vaccine one.
The smallest routable network on the Internet is a /24, so you wont be able to buy/own anything smaller than that, you would usually rent from your service provider.
It comes down to the paradox of tolerance. Abiding by civil discourse and norms puts the establishment (status quo) at a structural disadvantage.

Reactionaries, motivated by fear, fueled by resentment, keep upping the ante.

Liberals, conservatives (philosophical, not partisan), everyone else just can't bring themselves to believe the anti-majoritarian rhetoric is sincere.

Technological progress always disrupts society. Immigration always fuels xenophobia. Expanding the franchise always triggers backlash (retrenchment). Inequity always begats right wing populism.

The only notion I have is calm everyone down. Tap the breaks on tech. Stop advocating for immigration. Enfranchise people on the down low.

Most importantly, reverse inequity. Get the ginni index back down. By whatever means possible.
This is happening in Seoul, SK and Toronto, CA right now. I wish it weren't coming to parts of the US, but also, I don't see why it wouldn't. Only with sustained economic decline would home prices drop. Or, maybe if supply increased substantially, but people in the suburbs love their home values and that sort of thing tends to turn people into NIMBY's.
You have to preheat the pan, just like you do with steel. I make eggs almost every day in either an All-Clad D7 skillet or a Field cast iron skillet. You need to pre-heat the pan and then add fat/oil. You also should avoid high temperatures for delicate foods. I've been cooking this way for years and never have problems with eggs sticking. On my stove the burner goes to 10, I use 5-6 with a steel pan, maybe as low as 4, for eggs. After it gets hot enough (can tell by feel) I add a small pat of butter and swirl it around the pan and then set it back on the burner and wait for the butter to start to foam/bubble. Crack in your eggs, use a turner/spatula with a narrow enough edge you can get under without tearing them to flip. Easy peasy.

> House prices are going up because there aren't enough of them.

It's an interesting premise, I'd love to see more data on this. It's a very common claim but at least on a macro level there's a lot of indicators that would make me assume otherwise.

Typically if there isn't enough, you'd expect that the general trend has been that the availability per person is decreasing over time.

Availability can be measured in a few ways:

- Number of persons per home
- Number of square feet per home

Ceteris paribus, if either are going respectively down and up, you'd see increasing availability and would assume decreasing scarcity.

The number of persons per home has been decreasing for 150 years, and dropped from 3.4 to 2.5 (-30%) in the past 60 years.

The number of square feet per home has more than doubled in that time. In other words, we have 30% fewer people and 100% more space. The square foot per person has increased by 270% in the past 60 years.

Of course you can still not have enough if demand has grown much faster. But instead I think there's good indications (and plenty of studies) that price increases are mostly being driven by low interest rates and a culture around seeing homes as a speculative asset instead of just a home that happens to have some of your capital locked up in it.

Also a UK dad, but one who quite a few years ago picked up a book for a US friend's kid on the basis of a name, Binky, rather than a familiarity with the drawn character of the same name in the Arthur circles. Anyhow, this kid had liked the Arthur-world character Binky, but I picked up a book called Binky's Guide to Love.

Not the same thing at all. It was from Matt Groening's Life in Hell [1] output, and earned me some parental frowns.

The upside was that the then six/seven-year-old kid took a shine to, er, "new Binky", and by 10 was an avid fan, and since then has been a collector via second-hand bookstores. Now in mid-teens, I like to think that this has had only positive effects on that growing mind.

I've had one for years. I use soap and a steel wool pad on it, dry it off on the stove and use some oil and maybe a bit of garlic in it afterwards. It's fine. No rust, no sticking or anything. Never had any problems.

As long as you don't leave it sitting wet there should really be no problem with them.

These are all getting removed. I assume this will as well. Of course Facebook announced today the same requirements just now. Not coordinated at all.
UI and UX are two very different things. UI is any interface an user might use, be it a app on a phone screen, voice commands etc.

User experience is the study in how to optimize an users' experience, so that they can solve issues or tasks faster, easier or better. UX might affect how an app behaves or how it looks but it isn't tightly tied into the visuals of an application. Aesthetics are just a small part of UX but usually a rather big part in UI.
That’s what folks said in the 2000s. In fact that’s what they always say.
Compress then encrypt opens up one important vulnerability: if an attacker can control a part of what you're encrypting (which they perhaps can on an average laptop drive, think a cookie in a webbrowser), and they can observe the size of the message after it has been compressed and encrypted, then with repeated attempts they can guess part of your secret and wait until the compression algorithm succeeds in matching part of their data with your secret.

TBH, with whole-disk encryption I would not worry too much about this attack (the threat model is almost always theft where repeated observations of the cryptext after being modified by someone with the key are not practical), but it was core to a lot of vulnerabilities that basically forced TLS-level compression to be almost universally disabled.

Ask HN: Has anyone used Amazon Braket or written about it?
My impression has been that Quantum Computing (as a profitable and productive thing) is still a while away, but it’s also a thing that’s in my AWS dashboard. I’ve tried googling for Amazon Braket, but the results are full of Amazon docs, Amazon SDKs, news articles about the announcement of the service, and a couple fluff blogs that seem to just paraphrase Amazon’s marketing material.

Has anyone here used it? Has anyone done a “straight dope” writeup about what it’s good for? And side note: Does QC actually have pharma/chemical applications, or are people just copy-pasting from the Deep Learning articles?
