"but we don't have as much of a demand for it."

You don't actually know that. I can buy lipstic, and you can measure that in your statistics in X billions.

But I have also been "demanding" fusion for 15 years. I am prepared to soend real money on it, buy I can't buy a fusion, and you have no way of measuring my demand for fusion against my demand for lipstick. There is no 'fusion party' I could vote for either.

Also, the best way to suport green energy is to get a green energy provider rather than solar panels - its more efficient both in terms of physics and allocation of capital.

What happens when all of your co-workers quit?
For a small scale, one relatively secure, but somewhat inflexible, approach is to generate a large batch (say 1 million) public keys (use a deterministic wallet like Electrum uses so they're all governed by one secret key) and just store them on the payment platform site, issuing one per order. You have a distinct address and no private keys have to be online.

If you want the whole deal of getting USD or similar in your bank automatically, I would suggest investigating payment processor services that wrap all of that for you.
There is an undercurrent online, even on HN, of something generally approaching "price discrimination is totally fine so long as it results me paying a lower price." As soon as more "fair" price discrimination schemes end up with the user paying 2, 3, 4x more than others (or than what they've paid previously) it's a great social injustice.

I don't like it either but it's kind of silly to spend most of your professional life trying to help companies maximize revenue then get upset when as a customer you can see that you're helping companies maximize revenue.

Please don’t conflate “the causal chain I have mentally-modelled to be responsible for my lived experience” with “my lived experience.” I don’t doubt that you saw what you saw; but that doesn’t mean that you’re suddenly uniquely qualified to judge what particular interaction of hardware and software features could have led to you seeing what you saw.

> But if the voltage is not being supplied correctly I would consider that “Battery Health”.

“Battery health” as a feature — i.e. the thing Apple implemented as a response after being sued about not having exposed it to users — only tracks what voltage the battery is putting out, compared to what voltage it would be expected to put out given its lifetime number of discharge cycles and current charge. Which is all the previous, hidden algorithm for “battery health” was basing its decisions on, and so is all that got exposed for manual control.

(As it happens, it’s exactly the same algorithm that leads to a macOS laptop saying “Battery Needs Servicing.”)

This algorithm is meant to detect one thing: whether your battery is like a leaky gas tank, where the amount of voltage * amperage you get out, is less than the amount you put in. Unlike other battery problems that are down to faults in the battery, this problem is an inevitable (100% eventual failure-rate) problem for old, used batteries to suffer, so it’s important to remediate and impractical to offer free replacements for. It’s literally just “wear and tear”, like, say, tyres going bald.

If a battery issue is something that only happens when the CPU boosts i.e. if it’s flaky in a “sometimes perfect, but situationally does the wrong thing” way — then that’s not regular wear-and-tear, but is instead an actual fault in the battery.

The battery health tracking algorithm has no way of knowing† if your battery is faulty. If it could, it would probably say “this battery is broken, please contact Apple for a free replacement.” Because a faulty battery, of exactly the type you described, is a warrantee-covered problem.

† Really, no software can know/predict how a given power source will cope with increased load. This is why we don’t have OS logic in desktop PCs that can convert “a PSU too weak to power your CPU + GPU together at maximum load” into “so they down lock” rather than “your computer spontaneously powers off.”

Seems plausible, slimy, but also allegedly debunked and not a controlled test (at least show two phones w/different battery levels side-by-side with the same ride).

I find a LOT more concerning the allegations regarding racism and charging blacks more -- and down that chain there is a pic of two phones side-by-side with one black and one white hand, and prices of $57.80 vs $32.58 for the same ride [1], along with other mentions of the same phenomena in the thread. Another one [2] showed $48.91 vs $33.67, but only screenshots. Obviously it is possible that this is somehow manipulated, but, this kind of "personalization" is definitely possible.

What is almost more surprising is that Uber evidently doesn't detect these tests and ensure that two quotes to the same destination from the same location at the same minute aren't shown the same price. If they want to "personalize" according to race, battery level, or whatever, you'd think they'd at least be as good as VW at avoiding scrutiny (after all, Uber is supposedly a 'tech' company, vs VW being merely a car company).

Blame for incurring the wrath of the US? I don't think so. Sounds a bit like "stop hitting yourself" or "how dare you resist our CIA overthrow!" Maybe if this guy was on a terrorist list or something, but I as an American don't like being blamed for things my government does.
> and you probably don't want to see it.

Hard disagree. I want to see everything from everyone I follow in a specific newest-to-oldest order. I also don't want to see other shit in my feed (X liked Y, who to follow, whatever), but I'm fine with having it outside of the main feed (be it a sidebar or a click away).

I also want to "tag" my follows into lists (family, close friends, topic X, topic Y), allowing me to filter through the timeline.

Currently only Twitter and Mastodon allow me this use case, and that's what I use on a semi-regular basis. Everything that deviates from that (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube's home feed) also loses me as a regular visitor with zero exceptions.

But the reason everything deviates from that eventually is clickthrough rate on ads. If my timeline is confusing enough, I'm more likely to click on ads.
This is super cool. I don't work in medicine but I understand that, in less cases than sepsis, testing often isn't done at all. I'm sure this leads to a lot of wrong or unnecessary prescriptions and increases antibiotic resistance in the population.

Hey! So this is the specific recipe I used - https://www.wellplated.com/instant-pot-vegetarian-chili/ .

The basic idea is:
- Chop up the sweet potatoes, peppers, and onions. This takes me a while lol.
- Start with saute mode, heat the oil, fry the onions, then add the garlic, spices, peppers. The saute part overall just takes me around 5-6 mins
- Add broth, quinoa, chopped tomatoes, and cook on high pressure for 8 mins (the actual cooking time is longer because it takes some time to reach high pressure, and then to depressurise when done)
- I use canned beans, so I just stir them in right here at the end and let them mix for 5-10 mins

(But this is all described in that recipe)

I can basically make 8 good sized portions of this if I fill my Instant Pot, and it's cheap and very healthy. So it's become almost my go-to meal. Oh, and it freezes well too!
I mean corporation are just optimizing to make money which (at least to me) is not an issue, but we must set rules to make sure that this gross overreach stops otherwise we'll have mics in every room and any shred of privacy that might've remained will be gone.
We know this is the case because there are some documented cases. It's just a matter of whether this groups size and weight is worth sacrificing the other.
Postcultrev says the rules about proving consent etc make it a lot harder for small indie producers. But is it really that hard for them to prove consent and identity for a small number of performers? I suspect that’s a lot harder for a bigger platform, right?

Like I said, the simple truth is that you must count your calories, with no cheating or excuses. There are several difficult parts in the implementation:

Your brain doesn't want you to count calories, nor does the food industry. Your ability to estimate calories is not likely to be very good. I mitigated this by eating almost exclusively pre-packaged and labeled food and intentionally overestimating any time I deviated.

Your energy level will suffer, at least at first. You kinda just have to push through this, but caffeine (or other stimulants) can make it a bit easier.

It's hard to stay motivated. I found an athletic activity I enjoyed, which provided motivation because bodyweight was a significant limiting factor. It also burns some calories, which helps absorb the blow of any underestimation. Do not allow yourself to count these negative calories in your total, it's just an excuse your brain uses to try and get you to eat more. I also weighed myself every day to ensure I was moving in the right direction, but be careful because water weight can make it seem like you gained or lost a few pounds day-to-day.

Oh yeah, your brain will try and trick you into eating more. I can't tell you the number of times I'd somehow managed to convince myself I hadn't actually eaten lunch yet or only had one serving of something. Be on the look out for this.

For some reason, the people around you won't like that you're losing weight. It's weird. They'll encourage you to eat more if you go out to eat with them, they'll re-offer you food even after you've already turned it down, they'll try and get you to skip exercise, they might even tell you that you look sick and unhealthy. Unless they're a doctor, ignore them. Actually, even if they are a doctor take it with a grain of salt.

When you fuck up, just accept it and move on. If it is a small amount of excess you can make it up by cutting a little harder for a few days after, but if it is big it's best to just pretend it never happened.

Once you reach your goal weight the hardest part starts. You have to start bringing your eating habits back to something kinda like normal so you can maintain them forever. You will, unfortunately, never be done. Trust me, the second you let yourself believe you can eat like a regular human being again you'll put on 30lbs and have to work that much harder to get it off. No one you know who hasn't lost a bunch of weight will understand.
You could do an n-way multi-boot, with an instance of the OS for each person. It's definitely small enough to support that.

The world needs ditch diggers too.
I was thinking about doing a kickstarter to rent a boat and spread iron sulfate somewhere in the ocean. This causes a phytoplankton boom that captures some carbon.

This is against the UN law of the sea but the United States is not a party to that treaty. You might have trouble if you tried to dock your boat at any countries that are not in red on this map

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

It is a little harder to do right than it sounds. The first time it was attempted there was a current that sucked the iron down into deeper ocean layers where it wasn't effective. You need a whole flotilla to do oceanographic observations to know that the iron is dispersed properly and that it really works.

For the record I talked with an expert in the field (somebody who goes to those IPCC meetings) and was told NOT to do it. One argument against it is that if you promote production in one place by adding nutrients you are subtracting other nutrients and there will be less production in the future. Another is that you could create blooms of harmful organisms.

The "standard" method of disposing of CO2 now is to purify it, compress it to 1500 psi and inject it into a saline aquifer or an old oil reservoir.

You could get that CO2 from pyrolysis or combustion of fossil fuels or from biofuels. That last option is

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

which is a mature technology on paper but for many reasons it is not being done on any scale. The best case for it now is to capture the pure CO2 which is produced from fermentation at an alcohol plant.

Whether you use fossil fuels or biofuels you have the problem that the CO2 has to be very pure to handle in the pipeline, specifically the 78% nitrogen composition of the atmosphere is problematic and you need to either separate the CO2 from the flue gases with

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

or you can separate the N2 from the O2 before combustion.

That kind of scheme is worth paying for in my opinion because you can measure the CO2 as it goes in the ground.

This kind of thing

https://www.fastcompany.com/90510254/ever-been-to-a-green-sa...

targets ocean acidification more directly but it's the #2 example of a scheme I don't want to pay for because there is no way to measure it. (#1 is planting trees... trees might have grown there anyway, you might cut them down, they might burn up, etc.)

"The end of social media" is quite a lofty statement, bearing in mind that facebook, twitter, ect... are social media, but social media isnt facebook, twitter.

It'd be like if there were some massive drama involving Netflix and YouTube. You wouldnt call it the end of streaming, or web based video. There'd be a massive shift in the market certainly, and I think eventually social media will look completely different to how it looks now, but thats not the end.

It might sound like I'm arguing over semantics but I'd disagree.
It would certainly be a nice time to stop using SSNs as keys, SMS as 2FA, and more importantly having next to zero consequences for this kind of stuff.

At this point we just expect this to keep happening over and over again with nothing changing, it's a very strange thing to observe...

Besides going with the common low-budget brands, like Sceptre, you might find some dumb commercial TVs.

However, commercial TVs leave a lot to be desired. They generally put the focus on other aspect, like higher brightness, instead of color accuracy because they are intended to be used as signage. Hotel TVs tend to have hidden and hard to navigate sub-menus so guests dont mess with the settings too much.

Realistically, its easier to get a smart TV and just not connect it to the internet.

Google TV is also coming with a Basic TV mode for their Sony and TCL models. Basic mode is supposed to reduce the menus to a few basic functions like input switching, etc. [0]

According to the article it's not the mental exertion that causes the weight loss, it's the stress and anxiety players experience for extended periods of time, quote from the article: "Grandmasters sustain elevated blood pressure for hours in the range found in competitive marathon runners".

So it's unlikely extended periods of mental exertion would have the same effect without having additional stress or pressure.
You cannot, because the models are shipped the OS image. Apple would have to publish a new OS update every day new memes come out.

If you're talking about photo library scanning, people would have to be saving the memes to their photo libraries, cloud syncing would have to be on, and they would have to save lots of them.

If you're talking about using the iMessage content scanning, this only applies to under-13 accounts, and it only notifies parents associated with the account.

If you are suggesting that Apple would be compelled to modify either of these to do something else, why would they bother with these, which are built with many constraints and multiple levels of failsafes, rather than just implement a new feature? Governments could ban end-to-end encrypted chat like iMessage. They could demand the next iOS update uploads your saved social media passwords to them. It's not very plausible that anyone would want to modify _these_ features rather than just implement something more direct and harder to evade.

Governments could make these demands at any point. They do not need to wait for this feature and then spring into action. The Chinese government did regarding where iCloud data is hosted for its citizens. The US government did regarding the San Bernardino iPhone case, and Apple fought back very publicly in court that any kind of modification of the OS was unacceptable.
