A deal breaker? Seems that’s a good thing.
One way this could work is if we massively scale up renewables. While from a climate perspective you'd want energy to be as expensive as possible as long as there's fossil in the mix, from a social perspective you'd want it to be as cheap as possible. Ideally, all neccessities (power, food, water, transportation) could be made so cheap that everybody can afford them, and they cease to be commodities.

If you produce so much power - think solar on every rooftop, maybe one day fusion or clean fission becomes available - you will neccessarily have some way to store surplus energy. Especially with solar and wind. I can imagine that one way to do that will be synthetic fuel from air or from trash.

So yes, today it is not feasible (with today's technology and society). But I think it is not more unrealistic than other ideas popular around here, like hyperloop, fusion, or self-driving cars.
human rights abuses are exactly the kind of things that happen when the public opinion is manipulated in certain ways.

How is that a suit against the company and not the (now former) CEO?
The propaganda is there, it's just sufficiently well evolved that you can't see it. It even works as you say it does, which is amazing.

Consider the way that Biden keeps blaming lockdowns and government measures on the unvaccinated. He keeps saying, everything can go back to normal, if only those annoying unvaccinated people get the jab. Literally "the unvaccinated are undermining our way of life", as you put it. But that's illogical because if the vaccines worked, there'd be no need for any more measures. People could decide to take it or not and deal with the consequences themselves. Health insurers could take it into account in their premium calculations, if necessary.

Instead they are keeping the measures and using them as an excuse to pit Americans against each other. In reality the measures will never end until people collectively insist they are removed. Israel is a good demonstration of what happens in a country with high levels of compliance: over a million people who thought they were vaccinated, are now having their passes revoked, because they didn't get a booster shot. How many "boosters" are necessary for this particular vaccine? Probably an infinite number. They certainly are not any way to restore life to normal given government attitudes so far.
This is 100% correct. The last thing we need is more inefficient aviation for the super-rich.
It's always entertaining to see techno-luddites on HN - where the average person is wealthy and probably drives a gasoline car for most daily activities.

This is like criticizing the automobile back when only the ultra wealthy could afford them and most people still road around on horse or foot.
What is not interesting to you may be interesting to others. Someone "wasting" time on something you don't think useful doesn't prevent others working on something else.

It's not like society is bound to work on one thing at a time...
> I think the issue comes when results are reported and consumers try to use those results to determine which behaviors are risky.

Well, consumers are doing it completely wrong if they're looking up to papers as established and definite references regarding scientific findings.

Papers do not define reality, at most they only describe the author's perception of reality give their circumstances and current understanding, and reflecting the current state of the art. Thus observations might be off, but still interesting enough to spark further work to build up knowledge and clarify misconceptions.

It's like the parable about the blind men and an elephant[¹]. We might have an academic paper describing a novel species of trees that have a strong correlation with snakes, and consumers would be using that paper to justify shooting at treetops just to be sure they aren't attacked by a snake.

Drive letters never caused much issues for me.

Registry is a good idea. They just had to iterate on it a little bit more, IMO. More data types (like enums), better interoperability with standard tools, built-in documentation, better UI, exposed backup/restore functions. Registry had great potential. It's better than flat /etc filesystem with miriads of configuration formats and clunky non-coherent documentation scattered all over. They did not realize this potential, unfortunately.
I remember seeing somewhere GDoc to Markdown converter.

After the initial discussion is finished, the Google doc can be converted to the [Github-flavored] Markdown and stored in the [Github] repo.

It would be a good idea to create an initial GDoc based on the markdown template from the repo.

Frankly with the speed of Github innovation, they will be adding GDoc-like commenting and collaboration soon.

Not sure how it can be integrated with git branches though.
How does cost per passenger-km compare?
Nope, Portugal has always been like that. Being humble and caring for other is ingrained in their culture. Portuguese have also a privileged connection with Brazil and are well aware of the dangers of acting stupid.

Fascism, brains turning into cheese and people acting like a flock of sheep is the definition of Qanon. Couldn't be more alien to Portuguese society.

The interesting question is why other countries don't understand the idea.
The biggest problem is people (an entire profession) claiming to know how the economy works.
We over-water because we fear the watering isn't enough, we care for the plant. Just like parents' unconditional love for their children.

Nothing is ever non-obvious in hindsight in the social sciences ;)

That said, I like that one way this can be read is that being a C-level executive is typically not about some inherent skill or talent. Instead, people simply grow into the role when given (and taking) the chance. This has implications on what a just level of compensation would be.

I wish there were more details to the claim, because my hunch is that most people regret becoming middle-management, squeezed between whom holds the budget and whom does the work, unable to affect neither but responsible toward both.

Of course that line of work sucks!

> Crypto is for the ultra banked.

Sometimes the bottom of the comments stack on HN has the most profound comment in the entire conversation. I think this is a good example. By the way, congrats sub7, you invented the phrase “ultra banked.” I hope the investment banks credit you when it lands in an analyst report.
Didn't they take the batteries out before launching the thing?
Exciting! I remember being captivated by an old man at a retirement home recollecting farm work with horses. I don’t remember what he said or how I came to be listening, but it might have been a primary school project or something.

There is a project to collect old diaries https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=X0hi2Q3TAK8

Perhaps they take audio too? Or perhaps there is some similar archive for non-diary recollections and things?

And perhaps you’d like to share online?
Yeah because LCD is generally cheaper than AMOLED and yes iphone screens were pretty common and replacing them is quite simple.
To put it in a C context: it’s a function with a single argument ‘pkgs’, which returns a struct with one field ‘deps’, which is an array of package structs.
I think it is important not to demonize Facebook too much. I'm no fan of them, but I guess they don't really care about what people read on their feeds, as long as they are glued to their phones and clicking on ads 24/7. Sure, they have tremendous power over the information that people consume, but my guess is that they are quite reluctant to use that power because with this power comes great responsibility and also vulnerability.

On the other hand, others see this power and want to use it. Thus recently we see a lot of "they are a private company, they can do whatever they want" when somebody likes how they handle some situation and "they have become too powerful, they need to be regulated" when somebody doesn't like that. This is a kind of a game where whoever makes facebook do their bidding wins, and facebook itself is reduced to maneuvering between various demands and interests without much agency of their own. That's quite scary as well.

My guess is this will end up with some kind of quasi-censorship regime, "voluntarily" installed by facebook (because, you know, first amendment), so that they can continue to collect their ad dollars unmolested. The beginnings are already there - various fact-checkers etc.
Ha, my first thought.

And actually what I did when I formed my first company. I had two plastic cards designed, one for me as "CEO" and another as a press pass with me as "Chief Editor", which actually got me into some expos!

Blogs were new and people didn't know how to treat these "online magazines" and "journalists".

I even had people from big newspapers contact me with requests to use my online comments in their articles. Good times.

So embarrassing to remember, but I had a lot of fun.

A hallmark of facism is the deliberate suppression of nuance. Every single thing is distorted to align with a particular narrative of fear. Fear of Jews, communists, or secret cabals of lefties using masks to destroy freedom.

There is more nuance to masks. They cover your face! They make it easier to avoid surveillance. Maybe the purpose is to prevent snot and phlegm from becoming air born. Because they are a terribe mechanism of control.

People can make personal choices to comply without it being driven by fear. But your attitude is driven by fear.
Thank goodness for people like this person - I would not be surprised if many firms would do as well, if not better and with improved internal culture, if promotion was done simply by random selection of candidates in the different role categories. The amount of randomness for a new candidate is higher when going external than it is for promoting from a pool of people you know, so good on you for using this path.
How about "lobbying journalism"? Tho, I've read that in the US lobbying isn't seen as bad as elsewhere around the world.
I can get 10 Wemos D1 minis delivered for $20 and 30 cheap soil sensors for around another $20. (Chosen for wifi connectivity which bare Arduino lacks. One micro can monitor many sensors, but most don’t want a bunch of wires everywhere.)
It’s often the case that it costs more for the power source than the micro and sensor.

These aren’t Arduino brand arduinos just like your office xerox isn’t necessarily made by Xerox.
It also massively reduces the value for thieves since even the parts become worthless.

So, according to the article, Boom intends to make their plane carbon neutral from day 1 (by using fuel generated from atmospheric carbon). Clearly that is intended to address concerns like yours.

I'm not saying that M-Pesa is perfect but

1) I mentioned M-Pesa because it is the largest one in Africa. There are also smaller players there.

2) While there are problems that is specific to M-Pesa or even conventional currency, looking at the landscape of cryptocurrencies some problems, which in my opinion is inherent in how do you define value, are problems that even cryptocurrency has fallen trap into.

Which is a ridiculous claim, both because 1) crypto is not more accessible, and 2) being able to access more financial services doesn't make you less financially illiterate.
Actually there is another good reason for this, and that is preventing theft.

What is the point of stealing an iPhone 13 if you can't just sell the phone on (because of iCloud lock) and you can't chop-shop any of the expensive parts because they're all cryptographically registered?

I wonder hot financing works for a project like this.

How can one push up the valuation of the company if it´s just doing R/D for years? Aren´t all the original investors and the founder diluted to nothing after two round of funding? Or did the founder start with a couple of million of his own money, meaning he still owned 100% after the first investment rounds? Also, how would this work with YC - don´t they take like 8% for a relatively small amount of funding?
This is a fallacy that is mostly driven by difference in personality. People are roughly divided into people who are driven and interested by "things" (nearly the entirety of this website) and people who are interested and driven by "people". There is some crossover with objectification of people but thats not relevant.

Scientific methods relating to historical and archeological discovery are immensely important, this article in particular highlights something that may indicate many other hisorical letters/documents may contain previously missed information that while likely mostly mundane minutae, a shining example could alter how we understand history and the interplay of historical figures.

That said it seems this just referencing a less common use of a specific technology to solve a problem which I suppose is appropriate
Many realtek wifi adapters cause issues on Linux, and require buggy kernel modules. You should do some research before getting a wifi adapter. I just repurposed a wifi extender to be a wireless "bridge" from wifi to ethernet.
This is ridiculous crypto pumping.

None of this works unless the world already runs on crypto. And not even El Salvador actually does that, because the populace hate the bitcoin system, the official payment network is completely unreliable, and the unofficial wallets don't have the fees subsidised.

The most common issue with "banking the unbanked" is a lack of sufficient documentation. This is not a problem in El Salvador, because they have a national ID card, and you can get a basic bank account with that.

And yet, only 30% in El Salvador have a bank account. What does crypto do about that? What need does crypto fill that the existing basic accounts are failing to?

I wrote a book chapter about this crypto marketing buzzphrase. It's been a common buzzphrase in bitcoin and other cryptos since 2013 - and zero of these people have ever given a joined-up account of how this is supposed to work in practice. Not even Facebook, when they put banking the unbanked as a key advantage of their proposed Libra cryptocurrency. https://davidgerard.co.uk/blockchain/2021/02/12/libra-shrugg...

"Banking the unbanked" is a complex problem, and crypto addresses none of the hard bits.

Unfortunately there’s no shortcut other than investing several hours reading tutorials and then repeatedly breaking stuff on your own machine until you start to understand.

It’s worth it though. There’s something magical about having an entire machine configured declaratively.
Can supersonic aircraft be as big as the 747 etc jumbos without much worse energy requirements?

Or does the fuel consumption rise by a factor?

I can see the Concorde had almost mach2 as top speed?

Is there another Sonic boom at mach2,3 etc?

Unless it's a fuel efficient mach3, there's not much point to it, most flying time improvements should be done on checking in and boarding, the flight itself for flights less than 2 hours in duration can't be optimized , a supersonic plane wouldn't even accelerate to top speed before it has to slow down on short flights like paris-london.
The Fed employs some very clever people. They never believed that public fears of inflation tend to be self-fulfilling. They "believed" officially because if they didn't then their policy would be reckless, and pointing out the rather obvious reality like this Rudd bloke is doing might well be bad for a career.

The logic is like saying we would all get a pony if we believed hard enough. Economics doesn't work that way, there is an underlying reality that people are trying to sniff out and some error bars around where prices end up because the signals are all noisy.

Actually it seems most of the information about Marie antoinette were actually politically motivated slurs made up during revolution.

Can anybody tell how such a plane will sound like over land? Growing up in Europe in the 90s, we regularly saw fighter jets doing maneuver and we called the noise they make a sonic boom: a loud, scratching and thundering noise that seems to come from the wrong direction. But I've also heard that planes almost never flew supersonic over civilian areas and an actual sonic boom sounds like a double clap, and is much more terrible. So is the noise I remember a sonic boom or not?

I think I could live with the kind of booms we heard as kids, as they were not worse than "regular" airport noise and the double- or triple-glassed windows common here block them out mostly. Especially since a civilian plane will have >30 years of technological advantage and will take noise into consideration, which military designs likely don't.

Although with a reservation, they clearly do recommend it.

Pretty disingenuous for this guy not to mention the potential benefits of such measures, namely: iPhones become pretty much worthless on the black market, discouraging theft.

I'm more worried about someone stealing my phone (where the cost is the whole value of the device) than I am about breaking the phone (usually my fault) where the cost when repaired by Apple is fairly reasonable.
There's a view that over reliance on software contributed to the total loss of flight AF447 (since pilots were not sufficiently experienced in how to fly the plane in the various fallback modes to be able to react appropriately in an emergency).
Not at all suggesting they have morals. I'm suggesting it makes business sense to avoid targeting hospitals. Because people will come after you much harder if you do that too often.
