Yup, this is it, IMO.

On my OG Motorola Droid, I once tethered my laptop to it and downloaded a torrent.

In 15 minutes, I drained 25% of the battery. IIRC, it had a ~2,000 mAh battery. That meant I was pulling 2 amps from it. This was back in 2010, when most phone chargers and USB ports were still only 500 mA.

If I had relied on USB power, it wouldn't have been able to power it.

Oh, and yes, the phone got incredibly hot during this time. I thought I was going to burn my hand when I picked it up.

> Perhaps not valid or invalid, but surely an opinion can vary in value to you personally, perhaps even in value to society.

Fully agree.

I just get tired of seeing people claim that someone's opinion is wrong because they have some other view point that contradicts their opinion. People also intentionally blur the lines to try and get support for their argument, to me claiming valid/invalid on an opinion is one of the methods I see fairly often.

> Clothes dryers in the US alone (5% of humans) use the same order of magnitude electricity as global bitcoin mining.

A paper about the wasteful energy usage of dryers:

https://www.nrdc.org/sites/default/files/ene_14060901a.pdf

On average, Americans dry five loads of laundry a week, spending about
$100 a year to power a typical electric dryer, or $40 a year to operate a
similar natural gas dryer. In total, dryers now represent a $9 billion
annual national energy bill – about 6% of residential electricity consumption
and 2% of residential natural gas consumption. They consume as much
electricity per year – 60 billion kWh – as the entire state of
Massachusetts, and are responsible for 40 million metric tons of annual
carbon dioxide emissions. By any measure, their energy use and
environmental impact are large enough to be worth doing something about.

60 billion kWh are 60 TWh, this site claims Bitcoin needs 125TWh (theoretical min. is 50TWh, max. 292TWh).

Exactly. This is why Mozilla, as the only credible custodian of the only credible Chromium/Blink/WebKit competitor, needs to wake up and die trying to stop that future, if needed. If they lose that war, there is no reason for them to exist over Brave or Vivaldi, for example.

There have been many companies that have tried to implement a bitcoin/cryptocurrency payment scheme - somehow, not many of them have stuck with it either due to high fees or instability in the cryptocurrency itself.

We'll see if this pans out, but somehow I doubt it will - like almost every other time it's been tried.
What do you mean? You realize even private media receives massive subsidies in Canada? And that those subsidies are usually promised at election time meaning there is a clear incentive to not cross the party that promises the most money (vs let's say a party that promises to slash support for the media). Even provincial government are starting to provide massive amount of cash to "support our journalism"
The examples aren't displaying for me.
Ask HN: What remote work dreams didn't come true for you?
I know some folks have worked remotely for years, but a vast number of us are coming up on 2 years of working remotely instead of being in the office 5 days a week. Life is different now, but not as I expected. And I also don't feel like I'm as good at it as I expected.

Looking back to the days before I worked remotely, it sounded amazing - no commute, no dress code, no obnoxious cube neighbors, etc. And those aspects of remote work haven't disappointed.

On the other hand, I always felt like if I was working from home I'd find ways to exercise while working and I'd work on language learning by immersing myself in foreign language audio (news, music, podcasts, whatever).

Neither of these panned out. Maybe partially because my work projects have been extra-demanding, maybe partially because I don't multi-task/context-shift well.

What remote work dreams didn't come true for you (or alternatively, how did you make your remote work dreams come true)?
I said there was a moral aspect to taking medical talent from poor countries. You say that you don’t completely disagree with this. So it sounds like you too believe there is a moral aspect to this issue. Great.

I'm not willing to condemn some poor Pakistani doctor to a life much less comfortable than he could enjoy here AND force US citizens to pay extremely high prices for medical care to protect the incomes of US doctors. If you are, cool.

You assume that I’m opposed to giving licensed doctors in other countries an exemption to going through a U.S. residency program in order to practice in the U.S. You are making assumptions that are not justified by what I have written. There are at times valid reasons to restrict medical talent from easily leaving one country to another and there are times where there aren’t really any valid reasons for doing this. I was responding to your statement, “there are no valid reasons….”

Your argument here is way too black/white given the complexity of the issues involved. Thinking that “…condemning Pakistani doctors…” and “…force U.S. citizens to pay more” are the only or are necessary outcomes to not allowing Pakistani doctors to practice medicine in the U.S. without going through a U.S. residency program is not correct.

The truckers were given TWO YEARS to get the jab and they refused to. They only need the jab if they are going into the United States and returning. They can do trucking within Canada without a jab. Also, the United States has imposed a similar mandate on truckers entering the US but I don't see the convoy protest that. 90% of truckers are vaccinated BTW.

I find it completely hilarious that I can't use my smartphone to do some programming, even a few lines of python.

It's kinda true that unless an app can make money, a quality app has almost zero change of existing, while it's really not true on desktop. The APIs change too often, too much planned obsolescence, etc.

I like my smartphone but I agree with this article.
As an Online Person for nearly 40 years, many things in this resonated with me. The "engagement has a sample bias" part seems particularly relevant, and neither OP nor I are the first to notice that people are more likely to speak up in disagreement than in support.

Overall, I think many of the ills that OP describes come back to the same thing: writing on the internet is mostly more like public speaking than normal conversation. This is especially true for blogs, but even in places like Twitter or here there's a division between you as writer and many strangers as readers. That's not how people normally operate IRL. In-person discussions are usually among only a few people, up to maybe a few dozen in a big conference room, and they're more interactive. One-way speaking in front of hundreds or thousand of strangers is something many people never do, and many more consider it the most anxiety-creating thing they've done. But here online, we all do it all the time, and we all learn to do it in a very particular way - using the voice of authority (or the "high school debate club" voice) instead of our normal conversational voice, anticipating disagreement or even hostility (see above about sample bias), and so on. The more antagonistic the forums you've been in, the more you'll adopt that style yourself. Just look around right here. It wouldn't be at all surprising to see examples outing themselves in replies to this very comment. And yes, I'm exemplifying that tendency myself. It's deliberate, so no need to call me a hypocrite for it.

I've been thinking about ways to foster a more "living-room-like" environment without these malign effects, but haven't really come up with anything. Maybe the so-called metaverse - for all the other issues with that concepts - will at least feel real enough that people will feel inclined to interact as their normal selves instead of as their current (and generally not so congenial) internet selves.

Doesn't that just push the same question back a level? Where are these other platforms getting their profits from to sustain such high yields? If there's high demand for high-interest crypto loans, that means there should be platforms one can point to to trace the source of profit - the high-interest loans that fund the high-yield deposit platforms that fund this medium-yield deposit platform?

The whole thing sounds incredibly scammy.
> Similarily there have been many tools that let you add so-called ASCII-art diagrams to Markdown documents.

here-in is the nub. these are self contained(/embeddable?) editors of what is essentially non-textual content. there's a concealed inner data-model which is rendered/transpiled into text.

i far far far far prefer a text mark up, which is easy to directly edit, which is fairly readable on it's own (imo mermaid reads very nicely). maaking the inner data model both explicit directly workable like this is ascendant beyond compare.

mermaid also has predictable rendering rules, where-as there's much more author's opinion/whim about crafting ascii-diagrams, which are open ended. this makes it more predictable as a reader, with diagrams following common layout & flow patterns that one can come to expect.

the other boom to mermaid is it's not that hard to parse. i have investigated how available the mermaid team makes the parser but having a relatively-simple well-specified machine readable format opens so so many doors.

absolutely the right choice using human editable text markup inside human editable markdown.
> Crypto to me reads increasingly like classical finance as time goes by. The parallel here is that banks lobby against new regulation, then once the regulation exists as a moat, they lobby to keep the regulation.

If you focus on the centralized institituions like cryptocurrency<>centralized currencies exchanges, or centralized lending platforms, then yeah, they sure get closer and closer to classical finance (except being based around decentralized platforms).

But if you look at actual cryptocurrencies, without focusing on the exchanges or any other centralized parties, they actually get further and further away from classical finance. But it requires you to read GitHub/IRC/Matrix/Forum discussions between developers, rather than following reported news.
Oh yeah, hg was way easier to learn, and IMO to understand. I'm very happy that I learned hg first and then picked up git; I think learning hg first was "easy mode" and then extending to git was easier to learn in turn.

Repeated exposure to uncomfortable situations is a great way to reduce that anxiety. Even if students get a few bad grades in the process it benefits them in the long run.
Lol, "all it needs is water" is a bit reductionist. Obviously there are a ton of factors why certain stuff is still grown in Europe despite it being economically challenging to do so. Some of it is the actual will to keep certain products typically local, for cultural reasons that are not going to change. Besides, the few times African countries ended up being economically reliant on crops for exports to rich markets, disaster followed when prices dropped (as they are wont to do from time to time). They are currently busy exporting all they can to China anyway...

The African issues are many and multi-faceted, they won't be solved by growing more stuff than they already do.
It's mostly the other way around. Because of demand, doctor's salaries are high, and so the cost of education increases because new doctors can absorb the high loan payments.

I am working on one that is aimed at book discovery by recreating the feeling of walking around a physical bookstore (but reimagined for the online world).

It is called https://shepherd.com/

I launched about 9 months ago we are slowly getting there :)

How does it work?

I ask authors to recommend five around a topic/theme (so every book on the website is personally recommended by an author who is passionate about it). So you get some great recommendations on things like:

The best books on artificial intelligence that are not full of hype and nonsense
https://shepherd.com/best-books/no-hype-and-no-nonsense-arti...

The best books that tell a cautionary tale about world-changing technology
https://shepherd.com/best-books/cautionary-tales-about-world...

The best books whose dystopian visions were eerily prescient
https://shepherd.com/best-books/dystopian-visions

Then, I build out bookshelves (aka topic pages) using NLP. This is very new and only 30 days old so I am still improving the engine / topics. But, it is all tied to Wikidata so you can search via Wikipedia topic (and some other cool stuff down the road).

Bookshelf on artificial intelligence
https://shepherd.com/bookshelf/artificial-intelligence

Bookshelf on neuroscience
https://shepherd.com/bookshelf/neuroscience

Right now I am working to roll out a big improvement to the recommendation engine. And, then to integrate book genre data, which is a massive project. I want to be able to go to the World War 2 section and say "show me all historical fiction", or on the AI bookshelf to show me all "science fiction".

Let me know what you think :)
Agreed. It was a version control system for humans. Unfortunately the Hg people decided that the only stable interface would be the CLI, which made it infeasible to build the likes of GitHub around Hg, and GitHub (not Git itself) is what drove Git's success.
But what OS do you run on it? Is linux well-supported (regarding throttling, sleeping, etc)? I can't stand the macOS gui.
I left long ago for Vivaldi. Glad I was gone for the ads in the search bar by default. That kind of behavior, to me, shows a change in priorities away from the user.

In Vivaldi you can set nicknames for bookmarks. So you could type

“Ctrl+L” to select the address bar

then

“rv” or “vid” or whatever you want, to take you to the bookmarked r/videos page, which you can also leave out of the bookmarks bar if you don’t want the clutter

I do this all the time now, since most websites I visit are my frequently visited (probably true for everyone). Optimize life’s most used code paths my friend and come on over to Vivaldi. This is not a paid ad lol.
Sorry Dan, wasn't trying to post duplicative content! Will do a better job looking for similar threads in the future.
I'm not sure you quite understood my point? I'm not claiming that uarts are the end-all, be-all. What I am saying is that, even with the features of 'sockets' e.g. being able to be a 'server', ultimately, when data transmission happens, it's as if you have a virtual uart.

I don't care about the specific uart-level detail here.
> 4. trustworthy

What does this actually mean? Trustworthy under which circumstances, in what security model?

I'm terrified it means "unbreakable DRM in a way that is harder still for consumers to use or bypass" rather than "the code is not vulnerable to side-channel malware attacks". A lot of this could either be brilliant -- applications can't look at each other at all, unless one of a few trusted utilities such as screen-readers or keyboards, for example -- or utterly horrific from a user point of view. "Attestation" is mentioned in one of the end goals of that KVM Forum pdf, but it's unclear whether or not they mean a Qubes-like OS with the user as the hypervisor, or the user completely and utterly locked out of being the hypervisor, ever. One of these I think could be quite interesting -- especially without hardware attestation. One I think would be awful.

Part of the reason I (thoroughly break) Android's security model and run a rooted image is to have knowledge that I have control over everything in my device. It's important to me and I worry that these efforts will ultimately take that way from me.
I think the previous post was sarcasm.
As far as paid products go, it seems like a no brainer to offer paid plans for privacy focused email or other g-suite-like collaboration services. It seems like Mozilla needs additional revenue streams.
