It used to be worse than that, until only VERY recently you need a China bank account to set up WeChat payments, and you need a China +86 mobile number to set up a bank account.

Granted, if you are fluent in local language you can get a mobile number and bank account in less than an hour if you go first thing in the morning to beat the lines, but for tourists who do not speak Chinese it is basically damn near impossible to navigate setting all that up.

That said, international tourism isn't a big revenue generator, they care FAR more about the domestic tourism market, which is many times bigger. Foreign tourists are largely an afterthought.

Even now, domestic tourists can just tap their national ID card to board trains but tourists usually have to stand in line to buy paper tickets, or even if you get your bank account and all set up to buy tickets online, you'll still need to stand in line to print out the ticket because the electronic readers at train boarding gates don't support reading passports or foreign IDs of any sort.

The really interesting thing about e-ink for me is having a low-power, high-resolution computer screen; an old Nokia 84×48 LCD uses about 3 mW, a megapixel-class Amazon Swindle uses 100–300 mW during active use, and a modern megapixel-class cellphone screen uses about 1000 mW. Unfortunately, you just can't get high-resolution, low-power e-ink screens unless you're an ebook manufacturer; not only are the manufacturers uninterested in talking to hobbyists (or distributors like Digi-Key!) rumor has it they stop talking to you even about volume buys if they find out you're not making an e-book device.

So I thought this article was going to be about that!

Last year I learned that there's a kind of LCD that has even lower power consumption (during active use) by virtue of printing a whole flip-flop onto the glass at each pixel, called the "Sharp Memory LCD": https://www.adafruit.com/product/4694 not cheap at US$45 but available, and 400×240, a high enough resolution for everyday computing tasks. There are a variety of sizes available, but this particular display advertises “50 μW static, <175 μW dynamic”, that is, 0.05–0.175 mW, which is a really substantial improvement over 100–300 or even 3. And it's transflective so you can read it in the sunlight. At last, something you could plausibly build a battery-free portable computer with! And, as a bonus, it updates fast enough to play video games on.

Pulling once on a pullstring to wind up your computer yields potentially about 25 J. At 300 mW that yields a minute and a half of usage. At 3 mW, two and a half hours of usage. At 0.2 mW, 34 hours of usage. So below 1 mW you're into solar-calculator territory; I disassembled one of those solar garden lights with an LED and a rechargeable battery in it and measured its 38 mm square panel at 8 mW.
Biggest speed difference I’ve seen for my Kobo was adding a faster class 10 Micro SD. The one they ship with is fairly lousy. Plus now I get 128 GB instead of 8 GB.
I feel like this is another major factor on the poor implementation and adoption of eBooks that doesn't get bitched about enough; the infernal eInk display patents. I shudder to think what kind of display world AND publishing world we'd have today if they hadn't sat on it for this long...
I wish it was but I'm afraid it's not.

This is an absolute fairy tale. The problem is it is a commonly shared one in the US.
I pay for YouTube Premium, it is the single best streaming subscription could I pay for (in general, dollar for dollar, etc) and it's not even a close call. As someone who watches a lot of recurring creator content & a few dozen household / automotive DIY videos per week on mobile + desktop + set top box I cannot see myself reentering an ad-supported YouTube or playing the ad blocker game.

However, YouTube content goes through waves, at the moment burnt-in ads are pretty significant in longer form content and fairly annoying to skip through. This might get way worse and it's not the fault of pirates, YouTube policy or as simple as content creator greed (unless they are shilling a scam I suppose). I predict in the coming years we'll start to see some creators making noise about Premium's payouts changing or being unfair, not unlike the ongoing conversation about Spotify and other music services.
Laws regularly go obsolete because of new technologies. The issue isn't the letter of the law but the inflexibility in adjusting to new, more intrusive ways of invading privacy.

That law was written at a time where it was believed humans don't have databases in their heads. That is still true, but the effect can now be simulated with a mobile device, which brings new threats to agency as a free citizen of a nation.
Or you get out on bail and go to Mexico instead of your trial.
While I agree with everything you said to a certain extent, I agree less that their expertise makes them uniquely qualified to engineer the flight software for the prototype helicopter on Mars. It is quite a different environment, but there is certainly plenty of crossover. I think JPL has enough expertise in this domain, though.

But yes, it's a wonderful thing that a fairly-accessible linux distribution is powering space missions in this era. It's long overdue, I think, and many of the JPL folks would probably agree.
Runtime Type Information for TypeScript
refs (and their various flavors) aren't really pointers though. They're a higher-level abstraction on top of pointers. For example, you can't have a ref of a ref, nor can you use a ref as an independent type, whereas both those things are possible in Go. refs, as their name suggests, are basically higher-level annotations to allow for pass by value or pass by reference, whereas pointers are lower-level independent types (usually in languages which only support pass by value). The point being here that references are a higher-level concept than pointers since you usually will use the latter to implement the former.

> As for green threads, I think in case of Go they can't really be considered a library thing due to language integration of goroutines and channels. It's also not quite the same as C# async/await, because the latter isn't really a threading system so much so as syntactic sugar for CPS; it's entirely possible to have a single thread running the event loop.

Again this isn't really a language thing anymore though, it's more of a runtime/operational detail. You could implement goroutines with CPS if you wanted and async-await could be implemented by green threads. Off the top of my head I can't think of anything in the API of goroutines or async-await that would allow you to distinguish whether they're being implemented by CPS or green threads in the background.
Maintainer of the list here. Take a look at my boringproxy project. Once you have the clients running on each machine, all the tunnels can be managed through a web UI on the server. With a little elbow grease[0], you can also SSH into any of the clients (as long as they have sshd running).

The President's own Vice President, Attorney General, Secretary of Defense, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, et al. refused to participate in any of the schemes. Republican governors refused to participate in any of the schemes. Republican secretaries of state refused to participate in any of the schemes. The DoJ is now investigating and charging everyone who broke into the Capitol (-ol, not -al), who were evicted the same day by the National Guard, Capitol police, and DC police.

To me, that's a bunch of clowns without a plan.

A serious attempt looks like someone sitting down, planning out an attempt likely to succeed, and then enacting that plan in a competent and responsive manner.

Trump lied on national news, shouted from a podium, and inspired a riot.

At the founding of our country, that would have been a Tuesday.

For me to be concerned, I would have needed to see any other person of executive power or branch of government participate in the plot. Or enough members of Congress to actually threaten the normal process.

And if it had been successful, then you know what everyone does? They march on the Capitol and demand the rule of law be adhered to. Coups require consent. Withhold that, and they crumble.
The definition of theft is to take something with the intent to not return it.

Once you found the backpack, you would have to return it to the thief for it not to be theft.

Hopefully you wouldn't get prosecuted, but you are then at the whim of the prosecutor. If the thief calls it in you've created a bad situation. I was in jail and saw weird crimes like this. A guy bought some dope for $40 from a dealer, but only handed him $20 and ran off with the dope. The dealer called 911 and reported the stolen merch. The buyer was in jail with me. WTF.
At some point, YouTube realized they are more-or-less the only game in town and started to go from 1 ad every 0.5 video to 2 pre-roll ads, a mid roll ad and sometimes at near the end another ad. They also made some 30s-1m ads unskippable.

You are right. Perhaps I should have said more influential over larger chunks of the economy. Less political and more powerful than the FCC.
American here, let me spoil it for you: If a cop tries to scan your face, you LET THEM.

You do not move, you do not pout, you do not cover your face, you do not duck down into the car, you do not roll up your window. You LET THEM SCAN YOUR FACE. If you are feeling particularly privileged, you may gently, at-most-once, convey (ORALLY ONLY) that you do not wish to be scanned/photographed.

Then you fight it like hell with the police department's grievance process, with your local courts, and with your local city/municipal council, who should have budget oversight to the police force.

Headlines like this get people killed. Seriously.

Youtube could communicated the number of blocked ads, and lost revenue, to the content creators. Content creators could either push the Patreon route (this seems required for any remotely controversial topic), or encourage watchers to disable ad blocking for their videos.
Tbh I would just pay for YouTube if it were just a video platform that was consumer-friendly, for example LTT's Floatplane service, which I have paid for in the past.

> Given that the data seem to suggest more code is written in Go, perhaps it's just that code is in general buggy and that is a hateful thing

Maybe? I'm not convinced. If that was the case, I assume that I would have seen someone accusing Rust of shooting them in the foot.

Again, while Rust is my current favorite language, I make no claim that Rust is perfect by any metric.

> but it means the language isn't getting in the way also.

Probably? I don't practice go sufficiently to be a judge of that.

I know that the Rust community would definitely assume that the compiler (or at least clippy, the standard linter) should get in the way of anything that is obviously (or not-so-obviously) going to cause a bug sooner or later.

I have mixed feelings about the monetization. I also like creations just for creations sake, but it'd be hard for me to argue that I haven't benefited from a lot of great content that wouldn't exist if people couldn't dedicate themselves full time to making it. A lot of people may say (and feel!) they'd do it just for the love of it, but reality can get in the way of that when you've got to make a living.

That's not to say that there aren't better ways to make that living than ad revenue. I much prefer direct monetization.

It is more subtle than that. There are various protein molecules that vibrate inside the cells as a part of their normal functions including those responsible for immune system functions. As such there are absorption spectra due to resonance with vibration frequencies. This was mostly ignored in past, but there are speculations that 5-5O GHz radiation can be absorbed affecting molecular functions with unknown consequences.

I’ve been in the room when a very expensive lawyer couldn’t reliably predict if an almost brochureware website was compliant because the multi-tenant web server it was sitting behind was logging IP addresses for anti-abuse purposes.

Now it’s my belief that it was compliant but guess what is less risky than trusting my beliefs? Blocking European access.

You can wish GDPR doesn’t have compliance costs but that doesn’t make it true.

It makes headlines because almost all cities in the US still require a minimum number of parking spaces per building, even if it doesn't make sense.

Even if it is common sense, it is new and rare, which is newsworthy.

Well, if a call such as `append(...)` (without the assignment) can either succeed or fail silently depending on side-conditions, this specific example seems to suggest that a developer cannot trust the result of tests.

>The original article, and my comment, is about experience of American butter buyers.

No, it's about how the shapes of butter sticks in the US vary by location. As joekrill said,

>OK, this is all well and good, and may be accurate... But this article is talking exclusively about the shape the butter is formed into. It doesn't have anything at all to do how it's made, or what ingredients it uses, or where it comes from.
> It's use has a fixed duration and scope of action.

Sounds like "15 days to flatten the curve".

> Everyone who was arrested at the illegal occupation is being given the same rights and freedoms everyone gets in this country. The accounts and crypto wallets being frozen and seized are those that belong to people organizing and funding the occupation.

"occupation" is an interesting word choice. Others might describe it as a protest against an unwarranted violation of their rights and freedoms. The "occupation" was a response to new (rash) government policies, undertaken to make them reverse those rash policies. This is what healthy democracies do.
> You don’t own the book. You cannot lend the book. Renting Kindle-compatible eBooks from the library is arduous and limited by artificial constraints; you literally need to return a book before another person can rent it.

I think cryptocurrency is polarizing. While the technology is interesting, the current landscape of related businesses is discouraging.

> One argument seems to be that cryptocurrency is purely speculative

With stock you get part ownership. Buying gold relies on the inherent demand for and usefulness of gold as a metal.

Cryptocurrency is like exchanging your country’s paper money for other paper money that is hard to counterfeit but is not backed by any country. It might be okay if your country’s money is crap.
I was looking at this before and went to https://open.tube/ to explore the content to see how the community looked. The front page had a video of extreme violence on it and I never returned. Looking now the front page is mostly political flamebait.

A real community growing on the back of this technology will require either YouTube screwing up royally or some sort of grassroots effort based on micro payments to content creators (as opposed to ads) I think.
