Stating there isn't much lithium in a single cell isn't really meaningful; there are a lot of individual batteries, and the number keeps growing, so we still require a lot of lithium to be mined. Relatively less than other minerals, but still a significant amount and still destructive to the local area where lithium is mined.
The list could have been a bit bigger as I see that three of my favorites aren't even there.
I would love to own and run a bookshop. Not a posh, shiny one, but a small, out-of-the-way-full-of-old-books type one.

Sure, it would make NO money, but I'd enjoy being in it every day and that's what counts.

If you've seen the show Black Books, something like that, complete with Dylan Moran's level of customer service.
I don't see why you say not to remove the Google Play Services because I found alternative apps that work just as good, but either way, it was I think my only option because my LG G8 is not supported by LineageOS/microg.

Most words in Dune aren't random though. They are alternative spellings of Arabic words (in some cases, the real world spelling), some French, etc.
Hard to give benefit of doubt to elected representatives who wanted to form an investigative committee by themselves to investigate whether they themselves deployed Pegasus and spied on country’s citizens. “Yeah, right.”, that’s what SC effectively said to them here.
A good example of why racism is not a solution to racism. It doesn't matter that the intention is to help minorities, it will always end up harming them in unforeseen ways... Here's another way: artificially favour minorities in submission to education => employers now perceive minorities as unlikely to have attained qualification based on merit alone => -1 point

Every positive will turn into a negative - just stop being racist, in all ways. Equality != racism * -1
True but I put it there because Americans seem fond of it, not because I think the playing field is level.
What's the local environmental impact of drilling oil?

Because it's worse than lithium and contributes to a global catastrophe that threatens billions of lives.
Frankly, years ago, when reading it, I got the same idea, but promptly dismissed it because it couldn't be the case that all that people got it wrong and I was right.
What's the point of "awarding a cloud contract" to a single entity when from the perspective of commodification when the government can instead use all cloud providers (maybe in different proportions though) at the same time?

The point of the cloud is treating it like a commodity.

Unfortunately this smells very much like favoritism.
From the article: "All data found within this report derives from a survey commissioned by Intelligent.com and conducted online by survey platform Pollfish. In total, 1,250 white Americans were surveyed. To qualify for the survey, each respondent had to have previously applied to a college or university in the U.S. Appropriate respondents were found via a screening question. This survey was conducted on July 13, 2021. All respondents were asked to answer all questions truthfully and to the best of their abilities."

In other words, they used a single online anonymous sample, which are well known to be biased and - depending on where they sample from - provide less than accurate results. I haven't used Pollfish personally, but looking at their website, .95 USD puts them in Amazon Mechanical Turk territory. Granted, it's been three or four years since I used an online sample provider, but the reliable ones back then charged 3-4 USD+ per response and the fees escalated significantly if you had any specific requirements.
In Maine?

No shot.

> You can move more money, faster, cheaper and with way less hassle than a wire transfer.

My point is that the speed and cheapness a crypto system comes at a pretty significant risk.

Another major benefit to the banking system is that all solid banks are insured by the FDIC, meaning that if the bank fails, the FDIC guarantees all accounts held by the bank for up to $250k. In order to do this, banks have to meet capital liquidity requirements set out by auditors and meet certain benchmarks. Again, another thing that doesn't exist in crypto but should.

When everything goes smoothly, crypto works great. But if the day ever comes that a big company like Coinbase gets hacked and crypto is exfiltrated, it'll be a real test for the community because these are problems that have been solved for decades.

> In addition crypto exchanges and services have proven pretty reliable.

Look at the mt gox hack, millions upon millions in crypto was stolen in that hack, and there was no recourse for any of those folks. Who knows what is going to happen with Tether? You don't have look that hard to find the kind of financial criminality banking is so often accused of persisting in the crypto community as well.
As a factorio player, energy storages are as important as energy source itself. Especially for renewables since the energy sources are practically unlimited (and the efficiencies are increasing) but very fluctuate.

And if you see from other perspective, oil are both energy storage and energy source, which is "almost" equivalent with solar cells and batteries.
Is anyone else really disappointed where this era ended up? Mobile + cloud seems like darkest possible timeline you could tell me would exist when I was on my Commodore 64 dialing a BBS. I guess I didn’t understand the implications of everyone being connected and on at all times. It didn’t turn out as I planned. It all pretty much destroyed my family and friends.
What is this and how is it different from the other sitee that do the same thing
>dbSendQuery(con, "CREATE INDEX year ON yrpc (year)")

>dbSendQuery(con, "CREATE INDEX reporter_iso ON yrpc (reporter_iso)")

would sqlite use these for the query given?

it seems they wouldn't help with grouping, and the grouping seems antagonistic to filtering. if you're trying for performance, you can avoid having the query engine refer back to the original table during processing by using a covering index that includes the data fields in addition to the query fields

"CREATE INDEX covering (reporter_iso, year, trade_value_usd_exp, trade_value_usd_imp)"

or maybe even something like

"CREATE INDEX covering (reporter_iso, year, reporter_iso, trade_value_usd_exp, trade_value_usd_imp)"

Though I'm not sure how it's query planner would do with a duplicate column in the index.
[regarding return values, I was mostly referring to RVO that bypasses moves, but close enough].

So you are saying that assignment through out parameters will act as placement new, by constructing a new object? That's interesting, although it would be a big change from the existing language semantics (assignment is very different from initialization at the moment) so it would be very hard to retrofit.

Does that means one wouldn't be able to pass an existing object as an out parameter and would need to pass raw memory? Or the caller is responsible of destroying the object first? That has implications for exception safety.
It's only important at the right price.
I've got somewhat fond memories of that card.
I think it sat between my m3d and my first nvidia card (TNT?)
I remember it being incredibly cheap - and with DirectX support my first card out of the years of the dark proprietary wilderness.
True that: I know very few microcontrolers with overcurrent protection, you usually permanently disable a pin when draining too much current. I would still use a resistor with it, though having the microcontroller supply the current is usually fine.

Protip: microcontrollers can usually absorb more current with pull-downs (due to n-mosfets, plus internal power supply routing) than they can supply. So have VCC -> res -> LED -> µC and turn the LED on by writing a 0 to the GPIO. Make sure the µC doesn't overheat, and you can drive a lot of LEDs (or other circuits) like this. Double check the datasheets for the max ratings, of course.
all of that should reflect in economic indicators of parents and their say marital status/history etc... - you shouldn't need an imprecise proxy like race to level the playing field.
Doubtful. The government probably won't even get much. The lion's share of benefit will go to some mining corporation's stockholders and executives.
Unfortunately the SyFy adaptation reeked of cheapness to me. Plot-wise better than Lynch's movie, but aesthetically terrible, and with some pretty bad acting too.
I'm saying "lithium recycling" isn't yet such a benefit that we don't need to keep mining additional lithium.

Not to suggest OP was doing this, but it seems a bit weird to start your mouth watering at the notion of "I can't wait to strip 11 million tons of rock out of the side of this mountain, melt it down and refine it, so that we can start being clean with it by recycling."
Certainly diffuses responsibility from the institution to the applicant.
* England: what is even covid
> I've yet to see any actual movement away from it

From what I've read in various places the concern isn't people leaving, but certain groups (mostly young demographics) not bothering to join. This means that user numbers are relatively stagnant and that active user numbers will be falling as will average engagement (or whatever marketers measure these days).

I've seen some evidence of this: younger members of my hobby groups are not on there, or are just because the group is and they don't use it for anything else but receiving group updates.
> at the expense of all environmental concerns

Greedy lobbyists in the state capital would object to this. Ecotourism is seen by voters as one of Maine’s largest industries. Much of its real estate industry and its most well-known brand (LL Bean) relies on it.
As Europeans it is hard to grasp that some places may attempt positive discrimination based on race and many comments go in this direction.

But one of the things that most surprised me from visiting the US is the huge racial diversity, way more that we can enjoy in most of Europe, which is really a blessing for the US.

I invite Europeans to picture the scenario of a society where large groups of population are routinely discriminated, abused, put in disadvantage based on the color of their skin, or their names, or the places where they live. It is just normal that institutions have positive discrimination policies.

Oh wait, you don't have to do picture it since we actually do just that. It's just our "racial minorities" are even smaller and unable to form critical mass to cause change, something women and LGTB+ collectives more or less managed. See how immigrants are treated, particularly if they are not white enough.

Ask HN: Good Hacker New iOS Apps
Does anyone recommend any particular iOS app for Hacker News?

I used to use "MiniHack", but it seems to have gone out of maintenance and no longer works. This was the best one by far, that I found when I searched last time.

So far, I've tried HACK, Starling, and Hackers. I haven't been impressed by any of them. Octal looks like it might hit the spot, but I'm loathe to spend money on apps without much to go on...

Paper actually reduces pollution because trees are farmed and replanted in managed forests like crops with decades long seasons.

The more paper we use, the more trees we plant.
As a data data scientist, I also found this pretty confusing so I spent some time trying to understanding it better. I wrote it up as a blog post:

> Things like URL Autodiscovery are definitely desirable from an idealistic or academic point of view. However, I have never seriously needed such features.

Yeah I'm so tired of this bs from developers who treat their jobs as an idealistic academic exercise instead of doing what makes sense for the organisation. They don't work for Roy Fielding for christ's sake, so why are they spending so much time and effort supporting his research?
Yes, not sure of there reasoning but hardly a inditement for GDS and the G-cloud offerings they afford local and countrywide government services.

It is currentYear and overt racism is fine now as long as the discrimination is directed at white folks (or Asians in an academic context).
Interestingly if we have significant excess production from intermittent sources we can reduce our battery needs. Last I read the best cost/benefit ratio was something like 7x the energy production.

That said nuclear base load makes a _lot_ more sense.
> My point is that one microservice cannot easily generate links for another.

Right, if these are all REST services, then one service should not be generating links for another, it should be obtaining those links from the service itself.

> How does the customer microservice (that wants to be hypermediaful), generate a deep link into the order microservice, e.g perhaps to obtain the latest order for a customer?

It asks the service for a link via a call to a link it obtained from the service's stable entry point. Pretty standard stuff when you're reasoning about encapsulated systems.
Note most of the "alien" words in Dune are not random, but alternative spellings of words from Arabic, French, etc.
It's a typo, I meant a * b.

I agree on RPN, that was the point I was trying to make. RPN is more powerful, but is stateful and uses a rather complicated and unintuitive form of state (a stack). In my experience it's not true that people find it more intuitive to work with arbitrary mutable state of the kind imperative programming languages traditionally have.
I remember that there is something like https://seek-oss.github.io/capsize/ , not sure if it could work here.
Ask HN: How much detail should I give new users during onboarding?
I am launching a new macOS app that requires some computer experience for installation and the basic worfklow.

Does anyone have any experience about how complete and idiot-proof program instructions should be?

SIMPLE+ENCOURAGING VS COMPLETE+INTIMIDATING

If the instructions are brief, the program looks simple, but some people will make mistakes.

If the instructions are complete, people won't get stuck, but suddenly the process looks really complicated, even though it's not.

I started out writing very complete documentation, but pages for even simple tasks got really long. Anyone glancing at them would assume that I'm describing something really difficult.

————————————————

To give a couple of examples:

1. install the synch app normally and launch it

or:

1. open the DMG in one window

2. open your applications folder (cmd-shift-A) in a second window

3. drag the synch application into the app folder

4. double-click it to launch

The second option is more clear, but using this style everywhere makes a simple program look very complicated.

Another example:

1. launch the synch program and start synching

2. design normally and click "save" in the tool panel

3. when you're done, stop synching

or:

1. find the sync program in your Applications and double-click to launch it

2. select your website and click "Synchronize"

3. open a file you'd like to modify

4. when you'd like to save, click "save" in the tool panel

5. when you're done, close the file you're working on

6. go back to the synch program and press "pause" to stop synching

Sorry to be long-winded — that's kind of the point!

My inclination is to be brief, but even with very few users I have seen some really crazy behavior.

I'd say the adoption of HTTP protocols was certainly driven by firewalls. This was just as true for SOAP as it was REST. However, in earlier times caching was also important, and this is one of the places where REST beat SOAP. However, the caching idea seems to have been lost by most developers now.

For high volume sites we would cache at multiple levels. At the load balancer, on the CDN or in the browser - depending on how public/user-centric the data was. You would not expect a browser to return to the server every time for a 1 pixel spacer gif (oh the glory days), and you wouldn't expect it to keep retriving the user's name for the top of each otherwise static page.

However, things changed - the consumers of APIs were no longer browsers and the internet just got faster and faster. I can understand why developers just decided to forget about caching.

This is probably why most developers I now encounter just can't understand why the thing at the end of a GET or PUT url should be a "thing" not an operation.
true, most FB users really don't care. This is the media being wrapped in their own bubble yet again, they personally care a lot so this story gets a ton of media attention.

I've seen a few people point out that the MSM is actually mad because FB really has the same business model, they are just far more effective and profitable at implementing it. MSM has been pushing controversial stories for decades to boost their ratings, FB just used algorithms to do it rather than humans.

At its core this is about the traditional media's profit margins and cultural power being eaten up by FB and tech in general
And the key piece is always at the end:

"In no way does this turn the Raspberry Pi into a true quantum computer. Rather, Qiskit is used to simulate a rudimentary quantum computer. Practically speaking, it is similar to operating a quantum computer emulation on Raspberry Pi. The scheme would provide developers a means of investigating the mysteries and promise of quantum computing."
That depends. How much of the earth's surface needs to be mined to obtain enough lithium and other minerals to supply the world with batteries? And what will we use to charge he batteries?
The arguments I was referring to were the kind where someone was saying that the API _had_ to behave a certain way because this sentence in Fielding's dissertation meant it was WRONG to do x, even if there was no known immediate benefit and/or sound technical arguments for the original approach.

The reason I mentioned Agile was the common pathology of treating something as a holy cause rather than a tool — there's a certain mindset which assumes the former and resists any attempt at perceived deviation regardless of merit.
The Bene Gesserit was something I couldn't quite get a grip on, the gravitas house Atreides' arrival seemed to have, when they came to Arrakis, the different houses and their relationships... I had a lot of moments where felt I was missing context, because the scenes presented themself as "important" but I couldn't figure it out in that moment. Sometimes later in the movie some context was given, but during those scenes I felt "lost". I will certainly give it rewatch, maybe even read the books now.
Excellent. This light-mode holdout wishes for a white-background tournament.

With ALL new, cutting edge technology, especially the kind that breaks old, ingrained habits and ways of thinking, it takes time to build that awareness, educate the consumer and gain their trust before they open their wallet.

Was just stating facts, didn't say they were expected to solve slavery. But maybe they should be, now you mention it: we're talking about the richest org's/individuals in the planet, afterall. It was also an indirect criticism to this tech-startup-bullshit-lingo, full of lies and hypocrisy.
We can't turn US cities into Paris. Turning into Paris requires infrastructure, like subways and the like! But between tariffs on things like steel, gross administrative incompetence, labor union shenanigans, and environmental review laws, the US is incapable of building such infrastructure.

The city of Milan built a new subway line, and some of the cheaper subway stations cost €8 million. The city of New York added a single wheelchair ramp to Avenue H which cost $14 million. https://www.thecity.nyc/2021/8/17/22629915/mta-looks-to-ramp...

Someone's going to complain "but environmental review is important to protect the environment!" which is why NYC's congestion charge is going to be delayed and litigated for the next 10-20 years in environmental review while cars stuck in traffic spew pollution into the environment.

And someone's going to complain about me mentioning labor unions, too, and admittedly they're sometimes a small part of the problem (when not suing under the environmental review laws) but the Second Avenue Subway still had to give the unions a six-figure payout for using a tunnel boring machine, and every crane has to have someone employed as a full-time oiler because it's still 1910 and we're on steam power. European labor somehow manages to avoid these levels of absurdity.

Not that this is necessarily the top problem. The notoriously free-market pro-business right-wing New York Times (cough, cough) brought over the guy who was in charge of Crossrail, and he was shocked at how many people were standing around the dig site doing nothing. The MTA had no idea why most of them were there getting paid. The MTA also has a bad habit of completing Phase 1 of a project, letting all the contractors who know anything about it go on to other projects, then starting again from scratch on Phase 2 a while later, so that there's absolutely no in-house expertise.
>Not to say it can't happen, but there are quite a few new institutional and regulatory safeguards that (in spite of the attempts by some to neuter them) exist now that did not exist pre- and during the great depression that make such a thing happening again, or to the extent that it did, quite hard.

So it's interesting. 1 of the key rules is that you cannot borrow money to invest. You know what ive never seen all my life until recently? THAT! My bank and others that have nothing to do with me have been advertising, 'you can borrow $5000 to get your investment fund going!'

People said the reason the great depression happened was stuff like this.

I personally dont expect it's a depression level event. I think most people were hoping for this because it's better than extreme inflation like the 1980s. HArdly a prediction given inflation is so high already.
