Thanks for that thoughtful reply.

Recently I've been throwing around the word democracy as a way of calling out decidedly undemocratic political activity, because of the positive connotations the word has, given the narrative we're taught in this country that democracy is good, we are a shining beacon of democracy, spreading democracy to those who don't have it, etc. Perhaps trying to use the veneer were taught against those in power playing lip service to the will of the people? It's not as easy for people to shout down the idea of democracy as it is to argue with typical partisan positions.

I've been interested in Switzerland lately, where the people seem to have retained power over their representatives, being able to petition for referendums to add or remove any law they don't like, and with much smaller political structures, having cantons the size of U.S. counties that enjoy more independence than U.S. states.
Enjoy the ludicrously high salaries while they last.
You're right. So what we need is strong institutions which are controlled by decentralised power levers. What I have in mind is cryptographic based control combined with concepts from liquid democracy.
Well, 70% is oceans. So of the land 20% would be the majority of terrain. Also, hovercraft probably push that number even higher.
That was awesome. What a great presenter. Thanks
It has indeed enabled the professionalization of the endeavor, but the shift in incentives for content creation has irreversibly changed the shape of the mainstream internet, and not necessarily for the better as far as the user is concerned.

The monetized web has in a lot of measures exceeded the frontiers of what the ragtag petite bourgeoisie of the early internet could ever be but, in the process, the great majority of us (both users and the very long tail of non-top content creators) have invariably become peasants.

I'm not saying there was any other way to have what we have now, but what we have now kinda ain't sooo good when one isn't the middleman in a process architected for the middleman's benefit.
I worked in the campus post office while in college, and one of the most memorable days during my time there was when a box of live bees was delivered. It was about the size of a small loaf of bread, wooden on four sides and covered by screens on the other two.

We set them aside from the other boxes, near the counter where students would come to pick up their packages. It sat there buzzing quietly all day and generating a lot of surprised looks. Pretty neat.
I remember hearing that the very long walk between South Kensington station and the Exhibition Road exit (for the museums) is because the line was routed far away from Exhibition Road to avoid vibrations from the trains disturbing sensitive experiments at Imperial College.
Perhaps you should - if we all did, we'd reduce the spread massively.
Congrats on the launch! Like everyone else, I wanted to say great splash page and the syntax looks quite beautiful. Will do more of a deep dive once I get some free time, but it's quite promising.
It would take a lot. Humans can be incredibly brutal when their opponents aren’t alive. Autonomous drones are more of a threat and even then a ballon full of string would put most out of commission.

edit: that’s not to say they’ll never be an issue. They almost certainly will, but fighter jets can’t hold ground and neither can any robot.

That's for phase III trials, which I am sure will be conducted in countries like South Africa. This is not there yet, and phase I safety trials are easiest to conduct in the vicinity of the researchers and good hospital infrastructure.
For sure! For sure! I imagine if we're lucky we could get a grid scale chemical energy storage solution in the next 10 to 20 years that will make lithium seem like a waste of money. I was mostly curious as to how viable these grid scale batteries are materials wise right now.

Currently, lithium batteries are the only storage medium that is efficient enough (~90%) to allow photovoltaic solar to compete with nuclear and fossil fuels. Pumped water storage is okay at 80%. Molten sodium on those cool solar thermal generators in the desert is pretty good since they don't add a step to the generation process.

Liquid air is 50% efficient when used with heat exchangers, molten salt plants are at about 70%, and gravity is about 90%. Gravity is efficient but supremely low density requiring huge installations for even a few megawatt hours. As panels get cheaper and more efficient, these storage mediums will become cost effective, but for now are relegated to neat research projects and demonstrations. I imagine that molten salt will end up being our goto in 15 years or so if nothing cool like metal air batteries comes out before then.

Right now it seems lithium installations are only at a scale for grid stabilization when paired with natural gas peakers. However I can see that changing a lot as power prices go up from carbon credits and we start manufacturing more cells.

But yeah, I prefer nuclear too. We can do nuclear now. Modern designs are just waiting to be built and tested. Ones that can also do peaking like the natrium reactor. What's more, they will allow us to grow our industry at the same time without adding more carbon to our atmosphere.
You're not wrong, but those circumstances are so exceedingly rare that activating an armed robot should require a warrant or some other way of rate-limiting their invocation.

Ask HN: How would you try to validate this data science project?
It's an image crawler + labeler: https://gigaimager.com and I'm working on it with a couple other HNers

So far, we've just been reaching out to individual developers (via reddit and discord), however it's been hard to identify those who have a current need for image datasets.

I've read many times that PPC should be avoided at this stage, but I'm curious if people here have had success with using PPC to validate an idea.

I'd also be interested in hearing how other data science startups validated their concepts if anyone can share.

Restricting a line of business to incumbents creates government privileges and exacerbates inequality. If you own a gas station, you can continue to run it, but if you want to build one, the government forbids it. People who live in Petaluma will still find gas stations, so this prohibition will do very little to reduce gasoline consumption.
Given my experience as a sad participant in Teams meetings, I'll go on a limb and say Teams is probably running an electron shell implemented in x86 code calling a 64bit shim layer inside an ARM hosted VM.

Even newcomers?

I've had my education in a engineering focused campus so that may skew it, but even not IT related area had programming courses to, at least, learn the basics.

Do the newer researcher still show reluctance to move from Excel or is it an old guard kind of deal?
That is a really difficult call to make because research into HIV/AIDS has generated a great deal of information about viruses and potential ways of treating or controlling them. This is similar to the arguments about the space program being an expensive and largely irrelevant exercise even though all sorts of critical technology for weather satellites, solar power, electronic communications and so on came more or less directly from exploration and development of space.

Yeah, me too. I got Lyme's (in my backyard) and just finished up my treatment a few days ago (only 10 days of doxycycline). I had the rash, but now I'm concerned that some infections don't show one. I'd jump at a vaccine in a heartbeat.

librespot is a reverse-engineered thin client (using the same api that e.g. your "smart speakers" would).

This is great. QGIS has to be one of the best pieces of OSS that I've ever encountered. Sure it has a steep learning curve, but it has so much flexibility. Chloropleths/USDOT data/USGS data and LeafletJS are where I've spent most of my time, but seeing how to create topographic maps is always worth a read.
Easy to self-host and probably less expensive to host than all the MS Office licenses used for MS Teams or paid Zoom licenses. I set up Jitsi Meet months ago and all I ever had to do was to add user accounts using prosody on the server (which should be improved imo). I've not needed to touch anything since first setup, except for user accounts. It just works. What's more is, that some solutions like MS Teams still is not able to properly work on all browsers. While Discord has solved this problem for ages and Jitsi Meet simply works in all modern browsers. I have a hunch, that with MS Teams there is active unwillingness to make it work properly. How else can this be explained?

EDIT: Just to be clear. I'm hoping that we don't unknowingly live in a universe where all elderly people are secret underworld mob bosses. However, I'm honestly not sure how you would tell the difference between a sufficiently proficient elderly mob boss and someone who's just old and hasn't kept up with changing trends.
Yeah, it's a phase 1 trial. In phase 1 they aren't even really looking at if the vaccine is effective, they're making sure that it's safe/side effects are reasonable, and maybe getting some dosage information out of it.

How much money a single person needs to earn to get by in every U.S. state
Part of me thinks that the rule is so well-known that the writers didn't both to include it. Like "don't use a handwritten resume" isn't something we need to tell readers.

I could be wrong about that, but the data doesn't lie. I've read far more resumes than the average human being - 20 years in recruiting, 7 years as a resume writer, thousands of writing clients - and definitely <10% of the resumes I receive from clients include the word "I" anywhere at all.

If it's not a given, I guess it would be one heckuva coincidence that 90%+ of the tens of thousands of resumes I've seen all don't use "I".

It seems to older me that punctuated equilibrium is some kind of natural law.

Incremental progress may be ideal. Alas, whatever forces that may be, trying to preserve the current equilibrium, fight off change. Until the compulsion to change overwhelms the system.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

So when humanity finally goes carbon negative, it'll be despite the opposition, because they couldn't defend the status quo any longer. Then all that bottled up change will be like a dam bursting.

Hopefully it'll happen sooner than later.
Oil companies not telling the truth about the environmental impact of their processing should be dealt with in a way that take all of the profits, and then some, but since most all politicians here have taken money from them the odds of that happening seem very low.
Your words seem measured and reasonable, yet your final paragraph makes no sense at all.

How does nuclear help avoid the need for battery storage on a carbon free grid?

So many people claim this, and yet as I say it makes no actual sense. Has anyone attempted to flesh this proposal out beyond a snarky comment every time renewables get mentioned on a news article?

I'd love to be proved wrong, but as far as I'm aware there's no way building any more nuclear today makes sense unless you believe that solar and wind renewables and battery storage and green hydrogen are some kind of elaborate hoax that doesn't really exist or work.

So what are you proposing exactly? How does subsidized nuclear prevent the use of storage on the grid?
In addition, Zoom developement is largely based in China which has an even less stellar record and definitely does not respect GDPR.

Every major browser other than Google is taking proactive steps to limit cookies right now. Firefox very recently announced better cookie deletion for sites; they'll now try to delete cookies from other domains that are linked to those sites. This is going to get progressively better and better.

But the sentiment here is exactly what Google promotes. It begs the question over whether or not we need to compromise with content-holders on privacy. We don't, no browser other than Chrome views user tracking as a necessary compromise with advertisers. There was a point in the past where we might honestly worry about whether it was feasible to block 3rd-party cookies, but since then multiple efforts and improvements from Mozilla and Safari have made it clear that browser manufactures don't have to get advertisers' permission to push code.

Google is refusing to proactively move forward with steps that everyone else has agreed are necessary, because Google is mad that we're not thinking enough about their business interests. We have a good path forward, Google is blocking it for a large number of users, and then Google is complaining "why is no one else except us coming up with solutions?" But we have come up with solutions, they're just not solutions that Google likes.

The caution from Chrome about cookies is really interesting. Chrome broke web audio, alerts, the dev team is regularly openly hostile to suggestions that the consensus process moves too quickly. They tried tried to deprecate the url for crying out loud, but now they want to be all cautious about cookies? Sure.

> There is a huge astroturfed war going on.

Agreed, but not in the direction that you're suggesting. The general public wants better privacy, they don't care about whether or not it makes advertisers happy. Nontechnical users are often misinformed about tracking and they often lack technical skills or willpower to increase their privacy on their own. But that doesn't mean the public doesn't care about privacy, ordinary users do support the figerprinting protections Apple is building into iOS, they support the privacy changes Mozilla is building into Firefox. Most ordinary people are on the side of privacy in this debate.

Advertisers are desperate to argue that users are being harmed or that moving forward without an alternative tracking system is impossible, when the reality is that even the nontechnical public has turned out to have overwhelmingly positive feelings towards on-by-default technical measures to reduce tracking. The astroturfing here is the FUD coming out of companies claiming that we need (for either moral, technical, or PR reasons) to compromise with advertisers before we can move forward removing 3rd-party cookies.

It's really only Google who is lagging on this stuff. If they want the least private browser on the market, then they can have it. I don't think we need to hold back everyone else while we wait for Google to make up their mind about this.
it would be irresponsible of a corporate officer to not optimize for profit as decreased operating expenses vs the risk of environmental litigation.

Isn't the other possibility, though, that the game was just too cheap at $60? And only launch, mind you—I do think another issue here is just how quickly even high-demand games get marked down in price. (This is not entirely in the manufacturer's control—but Nintendo somehow always manages to maintain the prices of their games. Nintendo is doing something smart which no one else is doing...)

I don't know about you, but I like big-budget games! I don't think Bioshock Infinite would have been as good if they had to pair back the art team that constructed that gorgeous floating city, or lowered the amount of experimental iterations which made it possible to get the gameplay feel just right!

There's several ways to avoid the issue in Excel. If someone working with Excel isn't able to learn that (heck, a simple template would suffice), I have no hope the same demographic would have any success with R or Python.

It's easy to hate on Excel or Microsoft, a "dumb" program and a faceless mega corporation. Don't get me wrong, I'm no fan. But the real question is what are journals doing?
