I don't like the fact that the prices can wildly differ between different TLDs.

I think it was nice that it was easy to recognise website.com was a website too, whereas website.wtf is less easy to identify, but then now there are more available to makes it easier to get a shorter, better name and can make the pricing more competitive, hopefully driving it lower for everyone.
I haven't driven an EV yet, but from what I hear regenerative breaking is much stronger than engine breaking with a manual car and can essentially bring the car to a stop in city traffic.
That's likely the size of the entire checked out tree, which would include all of the files.

I just ran the command here and my AOSP 11.0 checkout is 54GB, minus any git history, since I clone from a local mirror and use '--reference' to avoid having to copy objects.

A lot of the size here is from the various prebuilts, AOSP build is quite self-contained (jdk, clang, etc) and barely uses anything from the host.
>> The only feasible way to stop digging fossil fuels is to get their price so low that it is not worth extracting them.

Not sure that would have the impact you think. In convinced that suppliers would just stockpile in this case. Remember at the start of lockdown when cude turned negative on the stock markets.

Didn't really do much other than push the price of petrol in a car tank upwards.
Why is crypto even part of an infrastructure bill? If you want to pay for the bridges and stuff just fix all the corporate tax loopholes that add up to more money anyway.
Honestly "a great CSV reader" is the only thing it has going from my experience. Other then that, it is not intuitive, a kitchen sink of features, memory greedy.
You are wrong. Every broken window is seen to.
Truetrue, it need's some caching and cpu capability, like the map when your offline...stuff like that..but with 5G...well we will see ;)

The unrelenting Taliban aggression into Afghanistan, the ancestral heartland of the United States which Americans have inhabited for millennia, is outrageous.

State of Julia: the future looks modular, generic, and fast
A lot is changing in the US society and some not for the better - if you compare to even 80s/90s, the strength of the institutions has eroded and the trust is all but gone. The “so far” may not last much longer.
Maybe dismantling the nuclear industry was a bad idea?

Particularly when the politician who oversaw it is now working for Rosneft:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2005/dec/13/russia.germany

If anything, I really hope this spurs Europe to build out widespread modular nuclear power plants across the continent.
I beg you pardon, im not arguing for the idea of a earth to moon microwave power link as viable. or sensible. I think it's beautifully insane, i have severe doubts about the actual practicality of such a thing, etc.

But thats the thing: now i want to do a mad max maser on a truck with maybe dozens of magnetrons if i could tow a generator...

It fits with my "Orbital Slingshot" project so well, too.
I took a look at the site as well, and planned the DFW->LA trip I mentioned earlier in the thread. I was shocked at the number of stops required just to get to the Texas border. That's normally a full day, but now it is 2 days. It's just not viable yet for cross country. I'm not saying stop EVs. I'm just saying stop with moronic concepts of using something it's not designed for. A 300 mile range is plenty for 99% use cases. Solve for the low hanging fruit. Lower pollution in cities where it collects the most. Then, continue working on larger battery capacities for longer trips. Harping on the viability is of what we have now is good is just doing a disservice.
See comment above from InTheArena.
A degree from an "elite" school costs about the same as an expensive luxury watch or car, and I'm sure that many applicants see such a degree as a prestige symbol that defies utilitarian value. Just because the author doesn't see the logic doesn't mean that there isn't any there, or that anyone is being swindled.
I think the point here is rather that power load at night can be much lower than power load during the day, if most of the energy is going to optional processes like making oxygen and/or rocket fuel.

1) You can still block network via a native firewall ( it's in app settings ), currently the only issue is that network via VPN bypass the toggle.

>Meanwhile, the US has been pressuring EU countries for years to not source their gas from Russia

To force them to buy more expensive LNG produced mostly in (surprise!) the US. To me it's nothing more than a case of failed geopolitical extortion.
I stopped reading at "what's the difference between a massive cover up of subverting the most basic tenants of how your systems are designed and never claiming those tenants in the first place".

That's exactly what I just explained, and I don't enjoy these kinds of circular back and forth.

If you feel like an OS where the biggest comfort is you can tear out it's core works best for you, go ahead.

But I will point out starting your comment with "I'm not going to get into the most important aspects of how secure a modern platform" is not a ringing endorsement.

-

I work on embedded Android for a living, so it's not like I'm afraid if what I don't know or something, iOS is a demonstrably privacy-oriented platform.

A mentality of privacy first even if it's just for the sake of marketing differentiation will always come ahead of a mentality of "data collection so we can sell ads", you're not going to change that for me with baseless insistence.
What we should really be hammering on I think is the vendor lock-in, walled garden, and monopolistic aspects.

To me this CP scanning nonsense is Apple waving a carrot in front of the Establishment to get the Anti-Trust heat off, while selling everyone else on further degrading privacy through a slam dunk deliverable to satisfy the short-game players, but that's just me.
> But that isn't the point. We should stop buying new ICE vehicles as soon as possible.

Well, I agree entirely with that. But TFA said we should all stop driving them now, and that's what I was asking about.
I think that mainly happens when they are bought for fleets where cars are issued to drivers who did not choose the PHEV. The drivers are often told that they can be reimbursed for fuel and only need to turn in receipts, but there is no provision for reimbursement of electricity. This pushes people to just drive them as hybrids instead of EVs.

I’ve got to think that anyone who chooses and buys their own PHEV has done so because it meets their needs and they plan to use the EV mode significantly. Most PHEV drivers that I know hate it when they have to switch to gasoline partially because of the added noise and cost and partially because it seems like a kind of failure.
We to the north-east of you do :)
> Making it system-only still isn't ideal. It then requires a full OS update to push updates to microg/playservices

It does not, you can update system-apps out of band just fine.

Google does it with Play Services (and many other apps), and we have our microG builds in our F-Droid repos for out of band updates.

In fact, that is one of the big selling point of Play Services - the fact that it gets updated outside of OS updates, which means that you have a recent / the latest version on all devices regardless of their update record.

And therefore anything implemented in Play Services can be used even on older Android versions.

Energy from natural gas is much lower emission than coal and very cheap and easy. To fossil fuels by 2050 you'd need to be building a nuclear plant every three days to get it all done by then. That natural gas is being dismissed shows anyone looking at this seriously that net zerio will never be achieved.

It's usually to point out commonalities to get people to emote when having a conversation I find.

Yes comparing the scales of the Chinese sensorship to googles deplatforming of uncomfortable topics is not nice.

But explaining how one can lead to the other also explains to people in the west why something is bad. Especially when people would readily sleep walk into enabling technologies that would enable state sensorship at a level that would concern everyone.
Ask HN: Any good CV services in 2021?
Can someone point out a good CV creation/update service these days ?

As in something where one can submit raw text and get:

* good looking recognizable format and not just crappy stock templates.

* Industry specific copy that can increase chances of hiring people spotting you.

* Advice on improvements, filling up gaps, certificates, etc.

All I could find were dodgy one off fiverr services.
You realize that the Afghan people by and large do not want Taliban rule, right? Very few want to be ruled by a violent, oppressive theocracy. Personally I would like the US to leave Afghanistan as well, but I have sympathy for the people who may have to suffer Taliban rule. Ideally the international or at least regional community would step in.
I happened to go to the Lynx Wikipedia page on seeing this news - I never realised it was based on libwww, the original library written by Tim Berners-Lee and Jean-François Groff for HTTP clients back in 1992. Presumably the fork is pretty much unrecognisable at this point, but what an incredible heritage!

Thorsten Glaser appears to be another from the BSD school of "perfect" programmers who are held back by the inadequacies of literally everybody and everything else in the world. If only the TLS protocol was designed by Thorsten, and everybody else used it the way Thorsten thinks they should, then this program would be correct so it's not really his fault, it's our fault. See?

> Nah, SNI is a rather recent thing. But…

This "rather recent thing" was standardised in 2003 and thus is old enough that if it were human it could vote in a lot of the world. But it's true that in some versions of Lynx it wasn't available until July 2018. They only had three years to identify this gross parsing bug.

>Simpson’s paradox explains the risks of comparing data without taking all variables into account

Unless of course, when you are counting covid-deaths.
Yeah, I think total cut off is weird. Maybe allow for it most of the time, but do "tests" where the signal is lost due to high winds damaging an antenna. Then the people have to don space suits to put it back together, etc. Otherwise, a compress collection of text only messages wouldn't be that big of a deal to send back and forth would it? Maybe a couple of images each day? Hell, we receive images from Mars daily now.

Sometimes, these "tests" are unnecessarily obtuse. I understand, test the most extreme, but sometimes that unlikely extreme is enough to cause people to not care.
Plain auth websites are pretty uncommon these days. That said, if using other authentication methods are annoying or inconvenient in Lynx (I don't know, I've never used it) then there may be some correlation between Lynx users and plain auth websites meaning this could impact a large fraction of Lynx the userbase.
The article describes the Afghan Air Force as struggling. But they literally don’t have anything close to a B-52 in their fleet, in fact they have no bombers at all.

It won't let me reply to your response to my response to this comment. But just let me say that as an engineer with tons of RF experience, you're full of shit.
AFAIK the Afghan commanders stole their soldiers pay so the soldiers sold their weapons to the Taliban. The Taliban taking it back over seems like a natural consequence.
Weightlifting can also be a huge help in this area-- among other things, it forces you to stretch less used muscle groups. You should be prepared to care for yourself on off days, but decent nutrition and massages every so often are more affordable than you think.

I think it's something you just have to learn to believe it. Otherwise you'll doubt it forever and ever. APLers have learned, and they want to keep their symbols.

I can only speak for myself, and I know I'd be confused seeing code that says (enclose bind grade-up index right), but when I see it spelled in APL as (⊂∘⍋⌷⊢), I will immediately recognize it as sort.

It really does feel similar to the difference between "es you es aitch I" and "sushi".

I don't need to spell out every symbol, that just makes it harder to pattern-match and see the meaning.
Thanks so much for your response, as well as your work on Thunderbird/MailNews! I’m pretty sure I must be using your code every day, it’s really appreciated.

That all makes sense, I think the reason my uni refuse to allow normal IMAP is because they’re trying to enforce 2FA-only access to their systems, which could become more common down the line.
Except that there are still something like 300 marines in Kabul.
Japan is a very large consumer, especially with nuclear being shut down there.
From many other articles I’ve read, “struggling” refers to an inability to manage even rudimentary maintenance of their existing fleet or deploy what they have effectively. Note that the Taliban don’t have an air force at all.

The Taliban regime is going to be hostile to women. It'll be a return to violence, executions, and feudalism. Yet I see a lot of liberals that have no problem with a Taliban takeover and would rather see a US withdrawal.

I'm a liberal person, but I think Taliban takeover is a horrific outcome. What's the argument / angle here?

Furthermore, it seems to open the geopolitical sphere for China to step into the vacuum. It gives them more people to sell to, and a broader Belt and Road. It's strategic for their exports, too. That seems to not be in the interest of the United States.

Also, US troops in Afghanistan are positioned close to the Chinese border, which seems like a thing the US would want in order to apply pressure.

What's going on? I don't understand the withdrawal at all.
Is it possible the country has become so heavily dependent on western money that insurgence happens to bring back the flow of cash from returning western military presence there?
Hey, a concert instead of bombs might promote goodwill and healing in a war town land. Though I'm not sure how well an Islamist group would take to 'Love Shack', it might actually further sour relations.
Based on my family's connection to the oil industry (farmland being drilled in OK), when the prices drop, they stop pulling out oil. It's stockpiled by leaving it in place, there's no point in pulling it out when that means you have to pay the landowners and find a way to store it for the longterm.
A lot of learning curve come from them essentially being array programming languages (like APL). They are powerful, but just very different if you aren't used to them before.

The alternative really is to write simple imperative style scripts with for loops in your favorite scripting language. Script will be much longer and likely more prone to errors, but the learning curve for simple tasks is just a lot less steep.

Eventually learning the array oriented approach is worth it though. It's the usual trade off in how much time is it worth learning a new tool vs kludging some old tool that doesn't quite fit for the task.

> Do we really think criminals don’t know mathematics or programming ?

Yes, by and large yes I do. Amon is a great example of this. Surely in the world this author is imagining no criminal would get caught up in a scheme like Amon since there are criminals that know "mathematics or programming", except... no one noticed/blew the whistle and instead the FBI rounded up the users of that device.
The EPA does not even produce fuel economy estimates for vehicles as large as the F-350, but data I can find gives about 13-14 mpg in real world use, perhaps about 20 mpg on the highway in ideal circumstances. Meanwhile the 2021 Outback (which is not particularly fuel efficient) is EPA rated at 26 city/33 highway, which is significantly better.

I'm relatively new to Pandas after years of working with Apache Spark. I've found it to be relatively intuitive.

Crypto is tiny proportion of your assets. Even in the most favourable scenario, where you own nothing but crypto, you're still vulnerable because you have a physical body. The simple fact is that crypto does nothing to hinder the government's ability to control citizens.
This is a bad take. All headlines are sensationalized for clicks, subject doesn't really matter.

If you ignore the headlines and do your own research on climate change, it's pretty nearly impossible in my opinion to come to the conclusion that we're not utterly fucked.

If anything news stories tend to focus only on individual events rather than larger scale patterns and potential feedback loops, so they often understate the actual scale of the problem.

I actually think there's been a conscious effort by some entities writing about climate change to focus on the short term immediate stuff because they realize that talking about the big picture would make people completely apathetic and hopeless.

I was studying marine biology last year and holy shit, the low end predicted effects and feedback loops -- even only looking at the ocean -- are going to be utterly catastrophic.

The planet is going to be unrecognizable for future generations -- enjoy the last bit of stability while it lasts.

Ultimately humans were very 'lucky' to evolve and exist in a period of extreme abundance and stability on Earth. We've totally squandered that with our ignorance, hubris, and drive for short term profit and now we get to see the flip side
This is a nice looking project, with the focus seemingly being on drivers for common devices. (On the other hand, after having looked at Oberon, Inferno, and ChrysaLisp, if I were to embark on such an undertaking, I would rather let my imagination run wild and try to create something completely alien and fun to explore even at the UI level.)
But, what can replace it in the python ecosystem?

Apart from using xarray whenever feasible, but that's just one small part (and always in conjunction with pandas).

It depends how "work" and "mining" are defined in this context.

In PoS, as in PoW, security comes from computations done by network participants. For example, in Algorand, nodes generate a proof that they ran a lottery with the correct seed. That's still work, is it not? Does it matter that it's more efficient work than the work that is done to maintain the Bitcoin blockchain? Can someone formulate an argument as to why this should be excluded from the definition of "mining"?

Without rigorous technical definitions, the result may just be that PoS networks adopt terminology like Efficient PoW and Efficient Mining.
Here in Canada, the climate crisis gets used as a political tool to tell stories that makes the other political parties look bad. This leads to endless policy lurch, and climate stalling. Elections can't fix the problem because we are stuck with first-past-the-post elections and all the networks of patronage like it that way. This is why I advocate for electoral reform, specifically a Citizens'Assembly on Electoral Reform. It's how we debug the system.
