The problem with LFP batteries is that they really need to be kept resonably close to room temperature in order to be efficient and safe to charge. This is fine if you're using them for some kind of off-grid home that needs to be heated anyway or for intermittent high-power applications like cars that can cope with the energy required for heating and cooling them, but it won't really work in this setup.
The php world invented the phar format [1] to deal with the single file tool/app distribution issue.

In fact, composer uses dependencies managed by itself in their sources. Then it gets packaged and distributed as a single file that includes all dependencies (composer.phar). That single file can be run by php as if it was any regular php file (including executing it directly and letting your system detect the required interpreter through the shebang).

honestly yes. Turning housing into a financial vehicle makes it hard for average people to afford. Housing cant simultaneously be affordable perpetually for average citizens and a investment expected to appreciate in value higher than inflation. trying to have our cake and eat it to has broken the housing market and been the root cause of much suffering and the last big economic rescission.

This is essentially creating an auto-immune disease in old age - by having the body target it's own cells. It's also not clear how the researchers prevented the immune cells from dying in the Thymus (who's function is specifically to prevent immune cells from being coded to attack cells in the body - it's like a UAT environment).

...but the bigger question would be - If this protein encoded a protein that identified cells which should always be eliminated in old age; why hasn't any mammal evolved to start destroying them?

It's more likely that there is some trade-off which we have not discovered yet.

Wow, that's an interesting write up of your experience as well! Yeah, an accident can give you a fresh perspective on life. And brain trauma also on your consciousness.

I wish someone would do some Schubert arrangements in a more modern vein, like Cole Porter-style jazz ensemble, to make his songs more listenable to modern ears.

Classical composer Howard Goodall called Schubert the last really gifted melodicist before the Beatles showed up, it's a pity his work isn't more accessible.
Global population stopped accelerating (had an inflection point, or: the "second derivative" went from a positive to a negative value) in the early 1960's. And so, overall population growth has been slowing ever since. It's difficult to say if or when population will reach a new, lower carrying capacity.

It's curious that population growth peaked in most Axis countries before Allied ones in WW2. It would make sense if each country's values were more aligned with others in their faction.

A lot of the older Keanu isn't CG, it's filmed. They switch to the CG versions later. This confused me a lot as well, as I was totally blown away with the first Keanu I saw.

"Even now people are confused, having watched the footage several times. “The first time you see the older Keanu that was a video shoot that we (Epic) filmed of him,” Pete explains. “After they come back after Morpheus that was all the CG versions. It was color corrected to match and look the same.” There is also one point where we see footage in the mirror this was real film footage that was comped in UE5. The first shot of Morpheus is also not CG, but then becomes CG when the young Thomas Anderson (Neo) appears. Even the desk scene at the beginning when Anderson is asleep was a real-time recreation of a scene from the original film."

Temporary import of goods is a thing in many jurisdictions. Have the sender fill out the paperwork correctly, and return the drive when you're done. Then you might be exempt from VAT, customs duty, and those infuriating processing fees the couriers charge you.

It's not /quite/ the same, but thankfully even after Brexit I can export broken electronics from the UK to the EU for warranty repair—without being charged a fee when the repaired item is returned to me. (The manufacturer in the EU isn't charged a fee either, when they receive the broken item.)

As for returns shipping, maybe you can shop around, but yeah, it can be expensive.
can you clarify how you got that result?

Not a MOND proponent but why does it exactly contradict it?

It’s a UDG with very little to no star forming gas and very low overall mass and density, looking up the galaxy it’s about the same size Milky Way but has less than 0.5% of its stars and much less than that when it comes to overall mass.

It seems that there are some papers that attempt to reconcile the observations with MOND and on the face of it the velocities expected if MOND holds true and are not far off from the current observations.

https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.04167

Considering the distance of the galaxy (72m light years) and the difficulty of establishing the actual mass of UDGs and even globular clusters at that distance it doesn’t look like a MOND killer not nearly as much as gravitational waves and the overall challenges to generalize MOND and make it relativistic.

Ask HN: Robust and affordable alternatives to Google Play for app distribution?
TL;DR: I am looking for a platform to distribute my dissertation research data collection Android app to ~50 adult study participants in the US. The most important features are the ability to quickly and reliably deliver app updates over one year, safety, affordability, and good UX (participants are non-technical Android users). I don't want to use Google Play Store.

To give you some context, for my dissertation project, I need to collect data using a custom Android research app installed on participants' phones for one year. The app requires a lot of permissions and continuously collects a lot of data. My colleagues discouraged me from using Play Store because Google banned their apps for no good reason and with no recourse, even though their research was approved by research ethics and human subject protections committees (IRB). This jeopardized their federally-funded studies and caused issues with their findings.

For this reason, I would like to distribute my app to ~50 adult study participants in the US using a different platform.

Four features are especially important to me. First, app updates need to be delivered reliably and relatively quickly over one year. Second, there can be no spyware, excessive tracking, unnecessary notifications, nudges to download other apps, and no annoying ads. Third, affordability is important because I would be paying for the distribution from my personal student savings. Finally, I would prefer a platform with good app update UX for non-technical users, including older adults.

So far, I have looked into APK Mirror, but according to their policy [1],

> If your app is new, doesn't have a proven track record, and not
> unique, it will likely not be approved.

I have also tried F-Droid, but at least on my Pixel 2 XL, updates of some apps downloaded from F-Droid often fail to install.

Would you have any recommendations on what other platforms I could look into?

Thank you.

This is the unifi controller service patched against the log4j rce. It's been out for a few days now; unifi claims there were no known exploitable vulnerabilities associated with log4j in the stock unifi controller configuration but released this out of an abundance of caution.

Given that unifi uses log4j, can be made to log everything, and by default logs things that users have control over such as their pc name, their mac auth username, various hotspot client parameters, the names of neighboring SSIDs, etc I find the original claim dubious but props to them for getting this out quickly.

Edit: clarified wording regarding "no known exploitable vulnerabilities"

No not at all. My comment was a reply to your argument:

> One of the things that distinguishes humans as a species is how extremely social, how extremely cooperative we are

Where I point out that what you are saying is not true in general. But it is true within a group (say a company) and not between groups (say between companies and OSS maintainers). Groups that corporate well within the group have an evolutionary advantage fighting other groups.

However I am not sure what the point is you are trying to make? My original point is that corporations/people don't throw $ at OSS maintainers for the work they do and expect them to maintain it for $0. That's a clear objective fact. So either treat your OSS project as a business and get paid to do your work or accept that outcome and stop complaining.

Still impressive technically and visually. Let's not forget that these things are running in realtime, they aren't a video. the whole "uncanny valley" thing is exaggerated. in the next 5 years you won't be able to tell the difference. In fact, you're brain will be constantly asking itself whether what you see is real or a 3D model. And I bet it did if you played the demo. That's a serious leap forward.

Now most videogames will still featured heavily stylized/cartoonish models, because some people are afraid of models being too realistic.

What makes you so sure? Do you have any supreme court rulings in this regards? Does your statement relate to the US only or to Europe as well? With respect to GPL3, on the other hand, one can argue with good reasons that "Tivoization" is allowed in certain cases (the license even makes explicit provisions); so here, too, appropriate judgments are needed to create legal certainty.

Busted. Yes, I am actually. Honestly I'm doing that as I'm trying hard not to trigger people. (a lot of people here are easily triggered.) But it is just to get better quality responses and to avoid fanatical ones.

We're in an age where the quality of public discussion has decreased significantly. I'm afraid of getting responses that doesn't really contribute to the conversation if I disclose my side especially on topics like this. This is me being politically correct in the name of pragmatism at the cost of ingenuity.

It also sounds like they may have just grown accustomed to the 2013 display over an 8 year period and haven't readjusted. I used a 2013 for several years, and it is lower resolution, muted, and dimmer than the M1. The pixels were almost visible. I might even suggest that because of the significant improvements to battery life and usability that they may just be tiring their eyes the natural way- by being able to use it more comfortably for longer stretches, to the point of RSI.

As someone else suggested, the improved panel and color reproduction may also be confusing their focus and causing them to attempt to peer beyond the image, similar to the strain caused by Hulu-style DOF blurring to change the focus within a shot or misapplied artistic blur in VR like in Avatar. That was the case the first time I moved to a HiDPI 10-bit display- my eyes couldn't tell where the panel physically was and tried to navigate depth based on shading information alone.
If we're measuring by total resource consumption regardless of location, is distributed computing beneficial? Your server can be less powerful, but the client needs to be more powerful. I'd think the primary difference is who's paying for it.

Opt Out of Cynicism
I (happily) write a lot of OOP code, "inheritance is bad, use composition" is such a trite and unhelpful dogma that gets in the way of any actual discussion about where inheritance is useful.

IMO, the case where inheritance makes the most sense is when you have a set of objects polymorphically answering some question, usually with a simple answer.

class Subset
class Whole < Subset
def of(items)
items
end
end

class Range < Subset
def initialize(from:, to:)
@from = from
@to = to
end

def of(items)
items[@from:@to]
end
end
end

which is used as such:

subset = Subset::Whole.new
puts subset.of(["a", "b", "c"]) # => ["a", "b", "c"]

subset = Subset::Range.new(from: 0, to: 1)
puts subset.of(["a", "b", "c"]) # => ["a"]

You can then pass around a Subset object anywhere (aka dependency injection) and push conditionals up the stack as far as possible.

Simply saying "inheritance is bad" gets nobody anywhere.
