There is real value to signal. I am debating contributing myself now that it appears to be a more commonly used application. As long as its not mandatory, I think it should be fine. I am saying that specifically because it was hard enough to 'lure' my family and friends there. They may not see the same value I do.

Put the whole thing in the dark, small solar cells on top and then short circuit them through a coil, that could power a tiny gripper whenever they are lit up.
But you can increase the “hard-coded” amount of memory in this CSS demo too.
OP hints at this - but the problem seems to be net metering lumps capacity payments in with the cost of power.

Some markets run a separate capacity market that rewards power generators explicitly for their capacity - independently of whether they actually generate any electricity. (California's market (CAISO) doesn't do this)

A long time ago I was involved in setting capacity market prices if y'all have follow up questions.
I had some luck with a subset of friends but not all of them. A big group is still on Hangouts or whatever Google calls it now. My advice is you target 2 close friends and propose to try it out for a week. If you win them over then you can start working on more.

Software advocacy isn't easy by any means. Most people want to not shake the boat of their current habits especially since it will take effort and time to get accustomed.

One of the worst things about Donald Trump was that if he or anyone adjacent to him actually said anything good, it immediately became toxic.

That wasn't the worst thing about trump.... it's the worst thing about the media coverage of him. You're blaming him for how media covered him.

The more and more that banks and other organizations do things like this, the more and more sense crypto makes in general.
I get that the term "coding" to a jaded programmer or engineer is just translating, but as part of his post he talks about teaching problem solving. Programming languages, or rather the knowledge of how to "speak" in a programming language (coding) provides a medium to express a problem's solution. So maybe I'm not understanding why we shouldn't teach kids to code.
not really ... anybody with 3 people vetting them can upload to arxiv.
Nature Scientific Reports have a decent review cycle.
Yes, it's easier to get in than into Nature or other top level publications.
Yet, it's still harder than some 2nd 3rd tier conferences (at least in computer science).

However, I agree with your sentiment. Don't take it too serious
You just described one of the many problems with the media and then blamed it on Donald Trump. Why couldn't you have said "One of the problems with the media is..."

> Trust is the most important thing in crypto.

No it is not and neither should it be. Blockchains are 'supposed' to be trustless with no need to trust a particular group or some group of keyholders. Otherwise, what is the point?

There is no point in promoting decentralization when the whole chain was reversed due to a hack (The DAO hack) or users still resorting to using centralized exchanges rather than 'decentralised' ones or even running most of the nodes on a centralized server.

I hope you have not proven that you have misunderstood the point of their decentralization claims. It makes it very easy for them to dismiss your comment.
my bank automatically does this without me needing to do an update. worst case it just puts the money back into my account.

> I'd basically just say though that if you want a company or state actor to be able to reverse transactions, you probably aren't interested in cryptocurrencies, and that's fine.

reversing transactions are basic functionalities. we have enough issues as it is with fraud etc. having transactions that you cannot reverse is a complete non-starter.

Veganism is objectively kinder towards animals, the environment, and often your own body. The rainforest argument is bullshit since something like 70 percent of soy is used for animal feed. Who cares what trolls say.
Am241 smoke detectors (i.e. ionization smoke detector) might be an older technology, but they’re extremely common, at least here in the US.
This hits on a subtlety that I see all the time, which is that simple and hard are not opposites.

Some things are simple, some are complicated or complex. The degree of difficulty is basically orthogonal.

Running a marathon in under 2 hours is incredibly simple. All you have to do is pick a point 26 miles away and run in that direction. But it sure isn't easy.
that's just a thread of paid picrews. What is the value-add that Web3 offers here? That your avatar comes with a digital slip of paper you can use for speculation?

In terms of ownership, so far, I haven't seen any NFT space that actually adds any value over picrews let alone comissioned artwork. There's no legal framework binding the blockchain ledger entry to the copyright of the images and even if it existed, what's the value add over traditional proof-of-purchases?
>> The power draw is around the same as a fairly typical lightbulb from 20 years ago, so I can totally live with that.

Since you mentioned pounds, I just want to address the power consumption part.

At averaged 100W power usage, the system will use 2.4kWh of electricity every day. In UK the energy prices are absolutely exploding - with the government estimating that the "average" consumer will be paying 28p/kWh of electricity from April. At that price, you are talking £20 a month in JUST ELECTRICITY to keep the system running. That's more than some basic broadband offers in this country on a per month basis.

Yes I know that's not an option for you. But damn, £20 worth of electricity a month just to keep my internet router running? That's crazy.

It's called sarcasm. Any acknowledgement of natural immunity has been deemed unscientific conspiracy theory in the mainstream in the US for the past year, only accepting vaccination as a solution.

Yeah, the CCP's finger on ByteDance isn't awesome and it's possible it feels less evil merely by chance (it hasn't been worth it to weaponize, nobody has thought that far ahead, etc).

I do wonder if ByteDance does really just want to chase profit here though, and letting TikTok be weaponized by the party would hurt that.
If some states weren't captured by utility monopolies, then solar users would be legally allowed to disconnect from the power grid, potentially solving the first issue. It's amazing to me that this is illegal anywhere.
If I recall, Adorno diagnoses it as the willful ignorance of seeing actual real world internal contradictions that is inherent in various "holistic" philosophies. Papering over conflict and disagreement with hand waving about oneness which actually masks an authoritarian imposition of unitary identity or aesthetic vision -- an ideology of "natural balance", which sees certain groups (Jews, socialist radicals, intellectuals, scientists, doctors, whatever) as disrupting this equilibrium.

Obviously vaccine opposition is one of the penultimate forms of this.
Waterproof RJ45/fiber/USB/UHF RF/anything is not new. Completely waterproof and weatherproof broadband wireless access point is not new, that's what cell tower equipment are. Those had been around since late 20th century.

Now, a proprietary, weather hardened, friction fit, outdoor connector that repurposes USB-C? that's user hostile new.
The current consensus is that TikTok takes the time of users. If that is true, every social media other than TikTok is in trouble.

A neighbor of mine died after CAR-T treatment. It can be a miracle, but as the article mentions, you can have a very bad reaction resulting in death.
I did not intend to imply that the people submitting fraudulent applications are blameless.

But I expect better and more from professionals working in lending operations to do their due diligence and verify incomes. I believe I read about underwriter who were simply signing out stamping that they verified the loan application, but did not actually check anything, committing fraud also.

There is also a problem that is exemplified by VR chess or VR poker.

Anyone who wants to play chess or poker online most likely already has without VR. Sitting across a virtual table with a virtual person with an annoying headset on to play chess or poker online is practically a downgrade from what we have now. It is a one off parlor trick.
Right and that’s illegal.

Google and Apple if they worked together to manipulate the market, that’s grounds for fines etc.

Kicking apps off their app stores would not qualify and should not qualify.
not generally, rather occasionally, if you happen to be a resident in a first-world country that follows all the demands coming from the US and the bloc.

> On twitter specifically, low quality clickbait is almost always tied to policy violating , if not illegal activity.

What is your evidence of that?

The OP was about spam not scams. I already identified that you were moving the goalpost or unintentionally projecting a different issue onto this issue.

My point is that spam on Twitter is to be expected. Taking Twitter seriously as a discussion platform is as naive as taking Tik Tok seriously as an video education platform.
Sure, thought that was implied. WETH on Solona is not the same thing obviously.
The geo tieing makes more sense as a product of spectrum regulation. If you move the Pico station they might not even own the resulting local spectrum.

I'd say that depends more on how much you are willing expend on hardware to drive it. You could slice your coils into tiny segments (essentially: just the tops) and then use the back of the PCB to drive them. They'd be magnetic pixels. Maxels?
Do European trucks make less noise too?

I'm from Spain but moved to Mexico 13 years ago. Here it's somewhat common to hear truck noises like when doing engine braking. I don't recall ever hearing that in Spain.
Probably Switzerland does that too. That's still very small fraction of the whole world.
> Whatever you say about privacy Signal is not an ally of user freedom.

Good reminder for those that don't know, but did anyone ever claim otherwise? From the very start, releasing the source code was meant exclusively as a way to ensure trust == security. It was never about software freedom - the only freedom the devs mentioned was freedom of speech (encryption and censorship-resistence).
Kinda hack, but if you choose a different currency, the tiers are lower. (With Revolut you can use almost any currency and FX fees are 0-0.5%).

For example with PLN min tier is 12 PLN = 2.64€
Almost certainly a prototype for the NGAD. With rhetoric and now actions from both China and Russia the US is feeling the threat.

There is a need. The F35 is really a multi-role fighter/attack jet. F22 reportedly still reigns supreme in air to air combat, but they killed that program and it would apparently be impossible to start back up, so there is incredible pressure to have a new viable air superiority fighter.

The F22 is also a short range fighter that the US has too few of to risk losing. It is valuable for domestic defense and NATO defense, but less valuable for defending airspace in places such as Ukraine or Taiwan.
Right because anti-semitism and replacement theory didn't exist until Facebook..

And uh, does the genocide of the Uigher population somehow not count as an evil? I mean I know they are Muslims and not Jews but seems like we should be concerned about them being forced into camps and sterilized...
Ignored? By whom? I am not a virologist, but actual virologists sure talked about T-cells in public forums. Or moreover, that we have to have some degree of humility about exactly what are the correlates of immunity for this disease.

And this podcast had Fauci on, so it’s not like they weren’t some degree of notable within the immunological academic sphere.

I think it’s time for Hanlon's Razor here. Antibodies were easy to measure. Antibodies probably meant people wouldn’t get sick and wouldn’t spread this. So policy makers, being in a tremendous rush, really glommed onto antibodies, and just got stuck in that mindset, because it’s hard to turn a ship around. I don’t know where there would be a conspiracy—it’s just that this whole thing is complex, and politicians are not virologists.
Unusable is a big stretch
I think that those of us who put substantial effort into tech and tech-adjacent things before we were 18 are another group entirely. We cheated and put in the time before we realized this was supposed to be difficult. I also think that (depending on how old you were when you got started) those of us who started as kids got to take advantage of younger brains' neuroplasticity and that makes things seem easier.

Big O and discrete systems, for example, both make perfect sense if you've internalized how computers work on a fundamental level. And usually what trips people up about understanding computers is how alien they are/how different they are from the natural world. If you're a child, then you haven't learned enough to think computers are 'weird' so that brain block doesn't exist.
I do think that this is one of the few things that blockchains offer that is unique. It enables the financialization of everything. Suddenly I can make financial derivatives of ape jpegs or other transactions or any thing I can find on the blockchain.

A big question is whether this is good. We've seen surveillance capitalism turn much of our lives into advertising derivatives over the last two decades and many people think that this is a bad thing, enabling megacorporations to extract value from our ordinary lives. I can see the same thing happening over the next two decades with megacorporations extracting value by creating financial derivatives of my behaviors as expressed on a public blockchain. And I'm not super excited about corporations betting on how much money I will pay to watch a superhero movie or whatever.

We saw how much damage financialization of just mortgages could cause. Imagine how much damage the unregulated financialization of everything could cause.
Quite the opposite I'd say... in my experience, Lispers tend to say "Lisp" when they are being inclusive of the whole family of languages & its philosophies. This convention began way back in pre-Common Lisp days, when there was literally no common standard: much as we say "Unix" to refer to the family of related-but-different OS's that once proliferated.

Generally I've seen capitalized LISP used only to refer to the original language, from McCarthy's lab (e.g., versions 1 and 1.5). By the time Interlisp landed in the late 60's, the all-caps convention has already begun to slip.

That's not to disagree with your own experiences: I just suspect they are "regional", so to speak, and not reflective of the larger Lisp community.
Survivor bias: There are plenty of ways to consume pot that don't "stink up the place" (vaping, tinctures, and edibles among them) that are preferred by many. You're only smelling the weed from people smoking in specific ways. My brother-in-law's house smells like weed the second you step inside but is a perfectly unsmelly suburban home from the even the porch.
It’s typical click-bait YT style: you keep watching and watching waiting for “it” to drop and then the video is over, your time is wasted, and someone made a few millicents or whatever.

I’ve learned nothing new except that there is a custom cable that is somewhat expensive to replace.
Crypto (and more so Solona) has an extreme trade deficit, it's importing way more capital then it's currently exporting (the primary export today is blockspace, I think as DAO's start running SASS services, that will increase the exports). The impact today would be nearly zero. As the deficit evens out, that might change. The local crypto economy is pretty young (it's virtually brand new). As it expands these capital flows will probably change.
That kind of says a lot about the people using Yelp though

> When central bank/governments lose control or get greedy you end up with hyperinflation.

Instead you have hyperdeflation. Wonderful.

> Derivates don't increase the money supply itself, they play tricks using the underlying asset.

That's why I said "effectively".

> If you hold the Bitcoin asset yourself, someone playing with derivatives means very little to you.

That's complete nonsense. There are countless examples where derivatives have affected the price of the underlying asset. I gave several. Derivatives drove up the price of GameStop. The subprime mortgage collapse devastated house prices even for people who didn't hold a mortgage at all.

> On the other hand, in the current system, you have no access to the underlying asset.

Let's be honest: you don't have access or any control over the underlying crypto asset either. 0.00002% is really 0%. Bitcoin is concentrated in very few hands [1]. The vast majority of BTC is held and not traded [2]. Lots of people are holding ("hodling") BTC on the expectation that the price will continue to rise.

That's... a bubble. Eventually that sentiment will turn and some large unaccountable players will simply dump it and get out.

> In other words, everything you are using _is_ a derivative.

No, it isn't. The cash itself is the asset. What gives it value is that it is backed by [insert government here].

> Even something as simple as keeping your money in the bank means you are using a derivative.

No, you're trusting your money to a custodian that is overseen by the government.

> That being the option of the bank to hold no reserves for the money you deposited.

Again, wrong. Banks are required to hold a portion of their assets and loans in hard currency. This is the fractional reserve system.

A lot of former gold bugs love crypto. They too are under a lot of misconceptions (eg the USD has never once been 100% backed by gold). Additionally, fiat currencies are a response to the problems created by trying to peg assets to other assets yet we're going to learn those same lessons with so-called "stablecoins".

Ask HN: General Mood of the Community
Has anyone else noticed that HN feels a lot more angry all around lately? There seems to be little peace or excitement in people's comments. It feels mostly like people attacking each other or attacking something.

I know the pandemic has been hard; but, we've got to fight to keep our peace through this and not attack others during this time, where we can.

Due to the orbits, the northern US has the highest concentration of sats. Specifically I think if you use the Washington-Oregon border and extend that line across the entire US that's roughly where the highest concentration is. That said, I think they already have full coverage in the entire lower 48.
>> For instance, pricey CDs prevented lots of people from listening to music.

Nope. Nobody I knew in the 90s had this issue. In fact, higher prices caused more people to listen to more music. Unable to afford CDs, the kids turned to Napster. After that they had access to more music than any generation in history. This in turn forced the music industry to change, to create online delivery platforms. Napster might be gone, but those 90s CD prices are why we have streaming services today.
This is ultimately a cultural challenge, not an analytical challenge. You don't win cultural battles with intellectual debate, rigorous analysis, or facts. You win cultural battles with politics and power. That means finding a way to get "the wrong people" off the bus and "the right people" on the bus.

The historical analogy in Microsoft is more correct than one might think. For Microsoft, it was a question of relinquishing control (e.g. going from proprietary to open) that helped them grow so much again. They are in many ways, a wholly different company than 20 years ago.

If Facebook could have embraced the mainstream interest in privacy and converted themselves to become a global digital identity provider, they could have become so much more and be on ethical side of history. Now they are almost pursuing both, while not realizing that they have to let go of one (and incur short-term losses) to pursue other.
They could throttle bandwidth selectively, based on destination IP address range.
I have no affiliation and looked at both articles. It would have been nice for them to acknowledge where the plot design came from, since that’s a copy of their doc code. They did add a section on locating and applying a custom style sheet, and an introduction that read easily. That possibly enough.
