Pretty remarkable considering the governments pro-coal and anti-renewables tone and policy. Australia still generates more than half of its electricity using coal and even brown coal. Inevitably the same dynamics that are killing the coal power generation elsewhere will play out in Australia as well.

Basically, periodic over supply of electricity because of solar leads to temporary shut downs of plants. That is expensive and makes these plants less profitable. That over supply comes both from renewable energy generated on the grid and home owners putting solar on their roofs. Each year there's more of it. And Australia gets a lot of sunny days. So, the pressure to shut down more coal plants just keeps on growing.
Define "perform". Power efficiency? Raw processing speed? Both?
Ask HN: How do you handle user-generated content in your apps?
Hey HN,

My name is Melvin and I am currently working on an MVP for a web service called View, to make it easier for developers to upload, process, and deliver media in their apps.

The idea came to mind while I was working on a photo-sharing app and noticed first-hand how needlessly complex and expensive existing services are.

I wished someone would create an easy-to-use and affordable API/SDK ala Stripe but for audio, video, and images.

Is this something that was a pain point for you? I'd love to hear about your experiences building apps with user-generated content.

Cheers

15mph is nothing in terms o safety (granted no break problems). On flat lane I hit that regularly without pushing hard, most people can handle that outside crowded areas.
I have a single hose AC (renting right now). did some research on how to improve the efficiency of the unit. I ran into this report by the australian government:

https://www.energyrating.gov.au/sites/default/files/2020-06/...

Adding a second hose to a single hose AC can improve effiency by around 100%... This is because portable air conditioners are tested differently to other air conditioners.

"The DoE found the addition of a second duct that uses outdoor
air to cool the condenser would yield an efficiency gain of 103 per cent for a retail price
increase of around US$8 (from US$534 to US$542)—a price/efficiency ratio of 1:103 (i.e. a
one per cent increase in price provides a 103 per cent increase in efficiency). Because
double duct portables are no longer available on the Australian and New Zealand markets,
suppliers are unable to communicate their benefits compared with single duct products.
The existing energy efficiency regulations on portable air conditioners appear to have had
the perverse effect of removing the more energy efficient product (double duct portables)
from the market, while encouraging the marketing of single duct portables, by allowing
unverified claims to be made about the effectiveness and efficiency of these products. This
RIS considers options to resolve this perverse situatio"

"The single duct portable’s performance information is likely to have been obtained from a
test that measured the cold air produced. Fixed air conditioners, conversely, are tested to
measure their cooling effect on an enclosed space. While a single duct portable may blow
cold air onto a person, if its performance was tested in the same way as a fixed air
conditioner, it could have a net heating effect on the room it was supposed to cool."

You (in the plura) saying that it may have come from the lab about a year ago would likely have led to being silenced or banned for it because of "misinformation". I personally suspect that was at least in part motivated by the then president being a proponent of the theory.
And conversely, the idea that everyone who voted to leave the EU was a credulous xenophobic idiot was a similarly false narrative peddled shamelessly by other segments of the media. The red-tops do not have a monopoly on distorting the facts to fit a simplified worldview.

I'm very wary of Whatsapp, but I don't think that's accurate. They have a LE portal, and in the FAQ they state what they are able to provide.

[ https://faq.whatsapp.com/general/security-and-privacy/inform... ]

> In the ordinary course of providing our service, WhatsApp does not store messages once they are delivered or transaction logs of such delivered messages. Undelivered messages are deleted from our servers after 30 days. As stated in the WhatsApp Privacy Policy, we may collect, use, preserve, and share user information if we have a good-faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to (a) keep our users safe, (b) detect, investigate, and prevent illegal activity, (c) respond to legal process, or to government requests, (d) enforce our Terms and policies. This may include information about how some users interact with others on our service. We also offer end-to-end encryption for our services, which is always activated.

So only metadata and everything that's not e2e.

Certainly, if the demands were complied with, metadata alone would be sufficient to rebuild your communication network if the Taliban already know who you are and what are you talking about.

Normally such fact is advertised in the readme, and the github sidebar will recognise and display the title of such a license in the sidebar.

It's commonly understood that open source software may be copyleft.

I think not mentioning a license that says "No use permitted" amongst some instructions on how to use it is deceptive.

Your examples are flawed. Gunpowder was known and used for centuries at that point. Hot air balloons were invented in France in the 17 hundreds. Steam engines were invented in Britain.

You might have something on noodles, but it’s a minor thing.
The issue is naming - term e-bike is used for everything while most if not all consumer "e-bikes" are actually pedelecs (no throttle, limited to 25kph and 250W, assisting only when pedalling). Every other e-bike is classified as moped/motorcycle which might require licence plate, registration and insurance. At least it should be like that in EU.
It is good idea in terms of long-term money spendings: if you already have good C++ HTTP framework, you spend less cpu/memory and can make web-service\site that can live forever for 0.00001 dollars a month.

Main fight must occur on the "C++ vs Rust" scene, but C++ certainly wont die in another 20 yers, so you happy using it for long-term projects.

I would say that is more like different cultures have different values:

Different ways of treating women, different ways of treating animals, different ways of treating the ambient, different ways of looking at work, different ways of looking at state, different ways of looking at religion, different ways of looking at morals, different ways of looking at neighbors, different ways of looking at property, different ways of looking at mating (...) While elites from any culture may be open minded and flexible, the average individual is not.

Elites may thrive in a multicultural society but the other incumbents don't. It's not surprising when they idolize any politician that respect them.
Bootstrapping GNU userland is a major pain point, and it's great to see GNU Guix taking it so seriously. There's even a section of their manual dedicated to it [1].

This is important, even if you don't intend to run GNU Guix itself. I care about building GNU userland for embedded targets, and even with a build system like Yocto, which builds specific versions of the entire host userland, you can get errors due to eg. an older gnu m4 not being buildable with a modern glibc. Thus, you end up essentially requiring developers to build inside a container.

This is paving the way for having everything required to build a piece of software just checked into the git repository. If you want to change it, you just commit it like everything else.

I mean, Long Island Iced Tea -> Long Blockchain Company got the "yay" [sic] of Wall Street but the "nay" of "people who recognized that an Iced Tea company claiming they could magically reinvent their business around blockchain with no specifics as to how"; and subsequently it turns out that, actually, there was no business plan and it was an insider trading pump and dump move. I'm sure before the insider trading charges that the executives of the company were absolutely happy to have market approval and leases on yachts, as anyone would be.

I should say, I think Coinbase is relatively well situated to capitalize on crypto, and it's a real business. I also think it's pretty well situated to shrink and deleverage if there's a decline in the crypto market. I don't think they're a scam.

I just mean that using market approval as evidence that the market is real, not a scam, not a trend, or does something useful is foolish. The point-in-time correlation of market success and fundamental success is nearly 0, even if the long-term correlation is very high.

Your only legitimate point about them being really stupid is that they are slow.

But this evolving and improving. It's the only hurdle to crypto having all the properties of a real currency. And it will be fixed.

On the other side you have technology that has now been working for 10 years. Have scammers used it? Yes. But that doesn't mean the technology doesnt work.

Is it deflationary? Yes. So was almost all currency before the 1970s. Do you stop buying TVs and electronics because they'll be cheaper in a few years? Not many people do. Deflationary currencies can work too.

Well done on the ad hominem attack of crypto people being anti vaxxers though. Very good. Why not add trumper in as well? That will really scare people away.

This is probably the best info anyway. What you speak about with a suspected enemy of the state is a lot less important for oppressive regimes than the fact that you (regularly) do. The content can be obtained from in person ... discussion. When a service doesn't care about presumption of innocence or torturing a few extra citizens, meta is probably all they need.

Now I do not think Taliban itself would be able to pull it off, but if the ISI is involved it is another story.

How to Build a Cross-Functional Team
Powershell is much more than that, you are only seeing the basic stuff.

It is the only shell that ships by default on modern OSes that builds up on Xerox PARC ideas.

It is not only .NET, rather anything on the OS.

It also handles COM, DLLs, OLE Automation, WMI, pluggable filesystems.

With Powershell you can easily automate something like use the currently selected cell on an Excel document, and use it as input for something else, including another active application.

Something like that would be possible on UNIX shells with DBus like protocols, and ability to load shared objects into the shell, but on typical UNIX fashion everyone does their own thing and thus the whole experience remains fossilized.
