> “Did Elon Musk do it? Did he finally create something that isn’t a worse version of what we already have?”

This statement strikes me as ignorant even if we talk exclusively about Tesla. The idea that Elon hasn’t improved on existing designs across all of his current companies (or Paypal) borders on indefensible. Reusable and landable stage 1 boosters come to mind.
it looks very nice.
Yes, methane pyrolysis. You can search for "CSIRO Hazer Process" for an example. As I understand it, you bubble methane through a very high temperature liquid metal, and it pyrolysis the methane into hydrogen and graphite.

I am not sure of the economics or the conversion rate of methane.
The problem is that (the current form of) immigration doesn't solve that issue. I'm not intimately familiar with other countries, but Germany has very high unemployment among immigrants. At the same time, they need resources, and when they age, they're going to need to be taken care of as well.

That increases the problem and puts more load on the systems that are strained to begin with. That would look totally different if it was a different group of immigrants, but we have to look at reality, not a theoretical ideal.
It was pretty much a free market until world war two. So yeah, it has.
It is not even about malice. It is a straightforward consequence of how hypothesis testing is conducted. Greenland et al have a nice section on this:

> Despite its shortcomings for interpreting current data, power can be useful for designing studies and for understanding why replication of ‘‘statistical significance’’ will often fail even under ideal conditions. Studies are often designed or claimed to have 80 % power against a key alternative when using a 0.05 significance level, although in execution often have less power due to unanticipated problems such as low subject recruitment. Thus, if the alternative is correct and the actual power of two studies is 80 %, the chance that the studies will both show P ≤ 0.05 will at best be only 0.80(0.80) = 64 %; furthermore, the chance that one study shows P ≤ 0.05 and the other does not (and thus will be misinterpreted as showing conflicting results) is 2(0.80)0.20 = 32 % or about 1 chance in 3. Similar calculations taking account of typical problems suggest that one could anticipate a ‘‘replication crisis’’ even if there were no publication or reporting bias, simply because current design and testing conventions treat individual study results as dichotomous outputs of ‘‘significant’’/‘‘nonsignificant’’ or ‘‘reject’’/‘‘accept.’’

Nope. Because the certificate used to create the secret during the handshake must be kept secret. Apple uses custom hardware of this. Unless you think certificate keys should exist in main memory allowing for them to be stolen and your secure bluetooth connection to be compromised.

My guess would be it has biological/physiological reasons. Negative stimuli create a greater urge to act. Tabloids selling more newspapers with bad news than good ones, because the individuals that gave higher weight to birdsong than the signs of a predator approaching did not procreate, evolution at work.

It is possible to change though, patiently putting your own focus on positive things, which there are so many of. Takes work, but sooo worth it. Life is more fun that way too.
If any given area produces more people than they can handle, then it should be their problem. The dominant ideology in middle east is religious authoritarianism. If you're a liberal democracy, then its a self goal to get immigrants from there.

I'm an immigrant into the USA and was never 'required to be immunized'
The EFF's challenge is when people abuse the system (ie a partner requiring their partner to register as child), or abusive parents.

From the letter: "Moreover, the system Apple has developed assumes that the "parent" and "child" accounts involved actually belong to an adult who is the parent of a child, and that those individuals have a healthy relationship. This may not always be the case; an abusive adult may be the organiser of the account, and the consequences of parental notification could threaten the child’s safety and well being. LGBTQ+ youths on family accounts with unsympathetic parents are particularly at risk."

Should Apple should require verification of parental status? Ie upload birth certificate, photos of parents, child, whatever is necessary to establish true legal guardianship. Still doesn't protect the children from abusive parents though.

These features need to be killed off yesterday.
It is competative as a medium for energy storage and in some cases for transportation. The line losses on a hydrogen pipeline are tiny compared to those of electrical transmission lines. A two-inch pipe full of compressed hydrogen can deliver massively more energy than a conductor at the same price per mile.

Hydrogen as a direct swap for natural gas is an attractive concept in areas like mine that suffer very low renewable energies seasonally. (Northern winter. Little sun/wind for several months.)

"Real-life programming language" or "practical programming language" assumes that there's only one acceptable set of trade-offs for all "real-life" or "practical" problems. I suspect that what you actually meant was "a programming language designed to create industrial-strength consumer or business software".

As one of the maintainers has noted repeatedly on this thread, Pyret is a "real-life programming language" whose purpose is educational. Mathematica is a "real-life programming language" whose purpose is solving math equations. Performance isn't much of an issue in either case, so it's a perfectly acceptable trade-off.

That these languages weren't designed with your use case in mind doesn't make them illegitimate or inferior languages.

New cars have risen in price slower than overall inflation for decades (at least in the US). In real terms (comparing against flat real incomes), cars have gotten cheaper, not more expensive.

Japan is a weird mix of old and cutting edge. It's a country that worships traditions, but traditions need to be regularly questioned and challenged. Traditions prevent you from thinking out of the box and trying new things.

Interesting. I don't recall ever using my imagination actively like this. I didn't understand why other kids liked dolls/action figures.

But I guess it never occurred to me to want to be someone else.
I'm not sure I'm following, then. You think the basic idea of polyglot programming on top of Racket is sound; but that's what #lang does, and is the interesting bit of what we're talking about. The fact that it's specified with a line at the top of the file is a boring implementation detail - albeit the correct decision in my view, since the information about what language a file is written in clearly belongs with that file - exactly the same reason we have shebangs. But it seems like a minor thing to pick on to deem it "not Racket's USP".

Currently it seems that batteries are an expensive technology. And we have limited capacity for their production. So having plug-in hybrid EVs (which can run on batteries for most everyday journeys) or cars running on (green) hydrogen means that sufficiently more greener vehicles can be produced such that more emissions can be avoided sooner than if the focus was battery EVs. Furthermore, BEVs are heavier and cause more road wear (some wear scales with the fourth power of the weight over an axle)
Used this extensively when I was working on BitFort (abandoned project). It's really solid. If you're open source you can use the whole thing no problem. If you're closed source, a commercial license costs around $5k.

To be clear on what this is, it allows you to mount a git repo and use writes to the filesystem to autocommit and push to the remote, effectively using git and a server to synchronize directories between remote hosts.

That is not the same thing I would think of as a version-controlled filesystem. That would be something more like the ClearCase MultiVersion Filesystem, which allows you to define versioned views of an entire filesystem. This gives you the holy grail of versioning, snapshotting, backup, restore, synchronizing entire systems, with equal treatment of text and binary files, in a way that is totally transparent to any higher-level tooling that reads and writes to these files, that developers have been trying to reinvent for 30 years because ClearCase is proprietary and very expensive.
Those Redditors don’t know what they’re talking about. Documented evidence of two competing companies agreeing to “operate as one” is absolutely damning in an antitrust trial.

> Used by counter on GitHub is at 464. The way it's worded would imply that they are all violating the license?

Yes. My read of the situation is not that it's a license that intends to stop people from using it, but rather that it's a license that selects for a specific target audience that doesn't care about copyrights or is anti-copyright.

In my opinion, that's a perfectly valid audience to select for, although a license that specifically prohibited any licensee from ever filing a lawsuit over a copyright claim or sending a DMCA takedown might be a funnier way to accomplish it.

There was a horror story on Reddit a few years back, cross-posted to HN, where a single employee got their entire company's G Suite account banned for violating some Play Store policy using their work account. (as a consumer, not a dev)

The horrifying part was that Google went on to ban every employee's personal account as well because they were "linked" to an account that was banned for TOS violations. Imagine losing access to your email, Android apps, and photo library because a coworker you may not even know broke some TOS.

A Google employee entered the thread and said they were investigating, but notably ignored anyone asking "is it really Google's policy to ban people's personal accounts if their employer gets banned?"

I was pretty happy when my company switched from G Suite to Office 365.

(Amazon allegedly isn't free of these "guilt by association" practices - I've heard stories of people getting permabanned from Amazon because their roommate or family member returned too much stuff, since the delivery address was the same.)

It turns out it's actually very easy to outperform off-the-shelf file systems depending on what your metric is. I discovered this when I was developing BitFort (abandoned project) which made use of WinFsp on Windows and pure FUSE on Linux. In my case the secret was having all the paths available in a fast in-memory data structure. I was dealing with a remote cloud file system, yet I was able to open up folders and browse around the file system faster than NTFS can with LOCAL file systems because every path and the MIME type is already in memory. For some applications (i.e. if you have trillions of small files) this might be a memory hog but for most I imagine it would be just fine. Seems like something OSes should have a toggleable option for...

Mozilla never had #1.

And I don't know what world you live in, but Google has pushed Chrome with the equivalent of billions in advertising. There's simply no way Mozilla can compete with that considering the kind of budget they're on.

If you want a fair estimate, look the time it took for Firefox to slowly grind market share from IE6, despite an abyssal difference between the two browsers.
