Most of Apples' worst excesses seem to be around the management of the app store. Even Tim Cook expressed frustration at the lack of leadership in that department. I don't think this is representative of Apple as a whole. Although the company must accept full responsibility for even their lowest common denominator.

Solar is hardly over-hyped. It has always over-delivered since the first panels were built in the 19th century. No one predicted such a success and so incredibly low prices even 20 years ago.

Could you explain what you mean by "hyped in a marginalist way"?
It's _mostly_ due to how human vision works really. Our visual system is good at focusing on certain parts, and the rest just gets elided unless you specifically focus on it. VFX are magic tricks put to film.

A great and quite unconventional book on Algorithms is "INTRODUCTION TO ALGORITHMS - A Creative Approach" by Udi Manber. After leaving academia the author was hired first by Amazon (A9.com) and then by Google. At some point around 2010 he was responsible for all search products at Google [0].

The book not only describes the algorithms per se, but also teaches how to think about the algorithms and the problems they are solving. I enjoyed it very much as a complimentary reading to the classic Knuth volumes.

Isn’t this generally true in other industries too? Small cafes can’t compete with Starbucks, there are no mom and pop pharmacies, small grocery stores can’t compete with huge/ugly chains…

At this rate, the entire planet will be ruled by a few dozen mega corporations. This sucks, but I don’t know what can be done to mitigate the situation.
Fair, but I think it's a good bet to say that people who aren't (for lack of a better word) "present" at their jobs would be perfectly fine not being there, if they weren't required to be.

And I know HN is fairly skewed towards people who want more from life, but there's a lot of people who just don't.

And I feel like they'd be over-represented in an opt-out-of-work cohort, if a basic income allowed for it.

I don't imagine a person like that goes into work saying "I'm going to do a bad job today." I think they just don't value the work they do enough to try to do it well. And they'd rather not, if that were an option.
Is it that difficult to build an open source Visio firmware that strips all the ads and has it operating like consumers want?

I imagine that "open source intelligence" means pay-to-play surveillance databases that are generally out of the public's eye. If you call someone directly and sound like a reasonable person, most people will talk to you.

To give you an anecdote about how comprehensive these databases are - I signed up for Oracle's free VPS, just to see how it was. I gave one of my vanity VOIP numbers rather than my direct number (it looks like a made up number, think 222-333-4444). Since they have such a high touch sales process, this apparently got personally reviewed and flagged as fraud. Rather than getting an email or call from my card company, an Oracle rep ended up calling the landline of one of my past residences to try and get in touch with me. The number had never been given out as a contact for myself, but seemingly came up on the list all the phone numbers associated with me.
The correct headline should be Vizio makes more money by selling ads than selling TV themselves.

We are only a month to 2022. This shouldn't even be a news headline. There are also plenty of other TV brands that does something similar. It is the whole reason why you can buy a 4K 55" TV for a $~450.

And a lot of people knows this. So for the past few years it turns out plenty of people are willing to sell their watching habits for a cheaper TV. Unfortunately TV business in itself is a low margin business. Unless Apple decide to do something about it I dont think there are any company that could change the game much if at all.
Deploying website with services like EKS, Fargate, EFS, EBL in AWS (2020)
The good news is, since it's a feeling, it will fade naturally if you don't actively hang onto it and keep bringing it back to consciousness in order to punish yourself. If you believe the right thing to do was to intervene more decisively than you did, just resolve to take more decisive action the next time you hear something like that. Decide that learning that, was the purpose of the experience. Before learning that, you obviously didn't know it yet, and you did the best you could with what you did know at the time.

That assumes a uniform cost for energy spent, which is not an assumption that holds true.

Cool concept! Few ideas:

2. an option to select a group of puzzles and move them, just as you categorize and group puzzles in real life
You're correct, yes, I didn't realise how generous the free tier is. If you're doing fewer than 500 updates per month, Cloudflare looks good https://pages.cloudflare.com/

Personally the addition of solar panels to my roof has the added appeal of reducing the wear and tear of my roof.

The panels must be in the sun, so they'll always be getting that UV damage if they exist outside at all. May as well let them do double duty on my roof in that role.

It'll also help keep the solar thermal gain out of the house, reducing cooling costs...
The same report you linked (https://www.ucl.ac.uk/bartlett/energy/sites/bartlett/files/c... page 10) includes interesting parts regarding e.g. climate change damage to agriculture like "temperate regions in Canada, US and Europe have positive GDP impacts whilst negative impacts are expected in India, other developing Asia, the Middle East, Central and South America." It does not go into that detail for the other types of damage because there it's just different rates of negatives, however, it's reasonable to assume that the regional differences there are also just as large.

It's hard for politicians to ask a Kansas farmer for a large extra tax for CO2 removal if the main justification of it is that it eventually will prevent much larger costs to someone else overseas.

In essence, policy decisions are made on a national level, mostly by people accountable to their own citizens and needing their approval (no matter if in democractic elections or needing to sustain their authoritarian power) - and you can't match national costs (since any decision to pay or invest will be national) versus global benefits of mitigation, you need to consider what the local consequences of doing nothing are going to be as that is what is going to drive all the actual action and decisions even while the same politicians make empty talks about global solidarity.

It's a pissy rant that goes way off topic, but none of it is wrong.
Thermodynamics is about entropy AND enthalpy. A stationary algae bloom using otherwise unused sunlight can be a lot cheaper than trying to fly a heavy battery along with 300 passengers. Earth is also full of natural alkaline minerals that can be used as cements or for soil enrichment while naturally absorbing acidic carbon dioxide. Direct consumption of electricity for carbon capture is not necessarily the main solution, but fine for when renewable or nuclear energy would be otherwise wasted.

I could be totally wrong with this guess, but my fear is that it involves fitting high-order polynomials to some kind of scientific data. In my experience, a lot of applications of polynomials happen because physical scientists have never heard of, or are uncomfortable with, fitting data with anything but polynomials, even though splines are generally far superior for data-driven curve fitting.

1. "Democrats as Marxists"? Please. I'm in Canada, and general perception is that USA Democrats are much in line with our Conservatives . Our Liberals are overall further left. I wonder what you'd think of our NDP, which is our third mainstream party and essentially socialist.

And then let me tell you about actual communist/marxist-leninist parties of the country I was born in! It seems that so many people spew words they think are bad and intended as an insult ("You're a socialist!!!!" "Umm, yeah; and?"), more than having any remote vague understanding what they mean.

2. "Democrats want a one party rule" - I don't follow this. Is there any party that wouldn't want to always win? Is there a perception, anywhere, that USA Republicans are the party that enjoys democracy and power to the people? :) I feel there's more details to this particular statement that I'm not getting. Are we looking for word "Dictatorship"?

3. "California is total shit. "

I mean, that's subjective. You may well feel so. It's my personal favourite part of USA, but I do get the feeling we'll disagree on many things in life:). My other favourite places in USA, whether Boston etc, are probably not in your top 3 either :).

4. "Stop pretending to be stupid. "

I honestly am not; I don't spend enough time in specific echelons so claims like this take me by genuine surprise. It's like the time my well-educated aunt in Europe suddenly one day said "Hilary Clinton is part of Jewish way of taking over the world". It's those "Umm, what???" moments where I get that I may appear stupid, but they are genuinely unexpected and I haven't a foggiest where they came from.

I don't feel our perception of reality on the ground, risk, and likelihood of that risk is sufficiently similar.
As horrible as those allegations are, let's appreciate that the U.S. military may be about the only military force that is both capable of committing these mistakes/war crimes and investigating them.

Just imagine what would happen if Russian or Chinese military lawyers or journalists tried to do something similar.

Which number do you think is larger, the cost for the US to dictate industrialisation policy for the rest of the world or the cost for the US (and possibly other governments more interested in reducing global warming, if the tech is there) to offset some of their emissions?

The problem isn't getting wealthy Californians to swap their SUV for a Tesla, it's getting poor Cubans to give up the only car their government will allow them to afford, cryptoenthusiasts to give up on Bitcoin, Saudi Arabia to decide it doesn't want to exploit its only resource and China to retire its recently constructed coal power plants. That doesn't just require lots of money, it requires magic

One point which I think bears mentioning with respect to performance is that even with O(1) access, the performance in the real world of a list implemented by a list of pointers vs a contiguous block of memory will be very different. This is because programs often iterate over lists and a list implemented by a contiguous block of ram will have MUCH better cache locality.

AFAIK, this unfortunately wouldn’t be possible to implement in Python though because I don’t think there would be any way to know how much space to allocate for each item in the list.
The article doesn't have to say it because it's just the way that google ads work. It's a bidding-based system, so at the most basic level the person who bids the most wins the auction and their ad is shown. If the LTV of a customer is $100, and there's a 3% processing fee for web transactions, then Tinder will bid up to $97 to acquire a customer. So Apple has to pay at least that much to acquire that same customer in order to win the ad auction. Once Applr has paid that $97, the user now downloads the app and subscribes via Apple’s IAP system. Apple takes 30% of those revenue while Tinder gets 70%; so Apple gets 30%*$97 = $29. So they've spent $97 and received $29 ----> they have a negative $68 margin on that spend.

I'm not totally convinced by these English-like regex languages. Regex itself seems like a reasonable language:

[a-z] means a to z

x* means 0 or more xs

...

The problem is that

a) whitespace is significant, so long regexes start to become unreadable

b) no easy way to nest regexes

Perl 6/Raku seemed to solve this by making whitespace meaningless by default and allowing regexes to be nested into other regexes or entire "grammars".

It literally turns abundantly free solar energy into electricity. Where is the hype?

From what I understand even at 100 miles the loss of energy is about 5 percent. You may need to build more transmission lines at some point - but I would still wager there is no way that it is energy efficient to build a frame upwards + have people get on special tools to maintain things 10 feet above the ground.

In places like Colorado there is very cheap land that is not very good for farming about an hour away from Denver and it certainly seems like it would be cost + energy efficient to build out there instead of up.

Anyone who uses the terms "spying" and "surveillance" to characterize this business model is being misleading in order to push an agenda.

These terms imply some kind of personal connection. The police will put a suspect under "surveillance". Someone might "spy" on their spouse to see if they're cheating.

These are the sorts of scenarios that these terms call to mind. These imply a deliberate and focused invasion of privacy by another person who is specifically looking to uncover and reveal some information that you want to keep secret, in order to use it against your interests.

This really has nothing to do with a computer system automatically collecting data on what TV shows you're watching and the vendor reselling this information in aggregate from millions of users (or, just using it to allow some other vendor to automatically and impersonally select an ad to show you, along with millions of other users in the same algorithmic category).

It's a false equivalency intended to manipulate your emotions into fearing a harm that does not exist. The reason they have to resort to this sort of technique is that they can't point to any actual harm from this practice that ordinary people would care about, so emotionally manipulative trickery is their only option.
I try to avoid the debugger. I know what my code is doing because I have unit tests and yeah I'd like to think simpler code.

If they actually can increase the concurrency now, that's good news!

We asked for that as well, and at first the support said they did that, but turns out they increased the Athena queue length instead of concurrency - so the queries wouldn't fail (until the queue is full, anyway) but the throughput was still the same.

Then the team of AWS account managers and solutions architects (who assured us many times that the concurrency can be increased) get into a email discussion with the support and Athena team, before coming back and telling us it cannot be increased. No apology or anything. Recommended us to run Presto on EMR instead.

It was a sobering experience in how AWS operates.
