15% is still a non-trivial amount. I assume some newer housing also uses electric heating only -- either direct floor heating or electric boiler. Is that already included in those 15%?

Anyway, renewables alone can't completely replace coal or gas, since their output is relatively unstable and unpredictable. So far Germany has been ignoring that problem while shitting on neighboring countries which cover for their fluctuations and which obviously can't pull the same trick now.
I didn't even know that minimum parking was an issue, where else can I read about this? How prevalent is it in other cities? It sounds like some 50s/60s era white flight policy permanently enshrining cars into city life.

I've been to Bentonville (~2016) quite a bit for work, always said I'd go to Fayetteville next time. Bentonville wasn't anything worth writing about for how I want to live but I can see it being an attractive place for quite a lot of people, I was kind of surprised by how underpopulated it seemed. I guess not a lot of jobs outside of the obvious few. Crystal Bridges was a great museum, the Ozarks are lovely. In general I felt a lot more positive visiting that area than I was expecting to.
I don't know when this was the case but it hasn't been since I've been using it.

I just added the repo to F-Droid: https://newpipe.net/FAQ/tutorials/install-add-fdroid-repo/
What about honest hype? I would tend to believe there could be such a thing. Maybe it doesn't make sense. Let me try. "Rust offers strong memory safety guarantees without the usual runtime overhead of memory safe languages. Ease of development tend to suffer, but it's the best choice when both security and performance are crucial."

Not sure I convinced my self here. But yeah, something like that.
The hand tracking is Ultraleap's assuming they actually deliver the Linux software at some point in the next few months. We're considering backups like using mmWave RADAR. It shouldn't be too intensive (at least not noticeable so far), but I'll double check.

The LED matrix display is for the outside. In both the founders' and regular, the internal display are Sharp 2448x2448 LCDs.

The regular edition will have a LED matrix display only if we sell enough units, basically.

I think I heard about VR-OS but haven't looked deeper; focused on the HW right now.

Steam works on Nix afaik (although George is the main Nix user); a Windows VM... should work?
Ha, and my friend submitted music for this commercial and did four rounds of it.
> definitely not snobby

Your perceptions differ from my own. I used to idolize SV until I moved here. I have never met a more entitled group in my life, and I grew up with multiple billionaires' children.
I am sorry for your loss.

I lost my father early. Much earlier than you did. I am sure his death could have been avoided by different life decisions. I have also lost my friend. In the end the end is end and regret does not bring anybody back. Still feeling sad is humane. You probably need some time for mourning. To not forget but to accept the new reality without him.
Note that in the U.S., all cows feed primarily on grass or hay for most of their lives.

Cows get fed corn in the following situations:

- in the last few months, cows are "finished" on corn to fatten them up faster

- at large-scale farms, hay is supplemented with corn during the winter in areas where grazing is not possible due to weather (i.e., snow) to maintain a year-round supply of cows ready for slaughter
> Easily solved by sending illicitly obtained bitcoins to the government—which they can trivially ask you to do, or automate on the exchange that you're on.

Which means I can easily launder my own money by claiming that "someone" sent frozen cryptocurrency to me "maliciously".

> The government has no need to confiscate bitcoins when it can prevent their legal use without confiscation.

The government has no more ability to prevent use of Bitcoins than it does to prevent use of cash or gold. Again, making something illegal doesn't prevent it from happening anyway.
As someone who's used a Quest 2 for hours and hours with a heavy 3rd party head strap, over-the-ear headphones, and a battery pack strapped to my head I wouldn't worry about the weight too much. Even playing intense games where I had to move my head a lot it was never my neck/back that hurt--it was always my arms, haha.

That's really going to be the new RSI waiting to happen: Moving your hands in the air constantly. Try this: Pretend you're scrolling a really long web page a little bit at a time by holding your hand in the air (in front of your face) and doing a pinch with your fingers like you're grabbing something, lifting it up, then dropping it again. Do this motion very slowly (like you're reading) for like 10 minutes straight, over and over again. Now do the same thing, pretending you're looking up at a VR "window" or down at one. How do you think your arms will do after existing in this VR environment for hours at a time? :D

As long as we can scroll/navigate with the keyboard everything should be good though
They don’t ask you for credit card details for their Free Tier version. I know because I’ve had that for over a year now.

In fact, their free tier is designed such that you only use free services. If you want to use their paid tier, you need to explicitly upgrade. I like that because that means I’ll never run into any unexpected charges.
This strikes me as very shallow. I would grant that this is an unusual pattern, but I don't think it follows that the language as a whole is poorly designed because of that. It's simply a different design, not necessarily a worse one.
> So how do I use my Kindle? No WiFi, no signing into amazon.com, load all books over USB. To acquire books ethically, I first look at an author’s homepage. Direct purchase is the best option. No need for a middleman. For example, the author Cory Doctorow offers direct distribution.

So, basically, turned into a crappy Kobo. They're far better for this sort of use, the hardware is solid, you can hack it however you care, and it chews on just about everything.
These shouldn't be thought of as orthogonal issues. You can dramatically improve the walkability of a place by reducing the amount of space reserved for parking.
There's a balance. Reading golang code is very burdensome because the reader has to read many lines of code which can amount to nothing more than a map/filter/reduce, and those are littered everywhere. Same with error handling, which is pervasive and distracts from what the code is trying to do.

Obviously, it can be taken too far as with the case of C++, but golang is in the opposite extreme where a lot of code does very little and is not clear what it's doing.

> and you can spend your cognitive load on the genuine complexity of your problem

Which is what a good language lets you do. In golang, a lot of time and cognitive load is spent trying to express your ideas in very unsafe and verbose manners.
I usually fly Spirit right now (college student) so I'd love to see a source for this.
Complying with the GDPR doesn't require extra money, it's just all these companies have become obsessed with providing surveillance for google, etc and would rather keep doing that than not.

Which fine, it's their business, but saying this is because of "compliance costs" is nonsense.
I sometimes wonder whether the invention of the public lending library could happen today. Had the concept not been given a prior place in our minds, the very idea seems otherwise inconceivable in contemporary society dominated by corporations.

The lack of consumer-oriented legislation is the proximal cause for devices phoning home, spying on you, locking you out of the goods you've purchased (that is, dictating how you can and cannot use the good) and which resist the user's need to repair or extend.

The author's solution is to apply duct tape and glue to arrive at "ethical reading" (really, it sounds more like ethical vending). However, I think it is a problem which consumers can't buy themselves out of; pro-consumer legislation is required.

Being choosy about where you buy your ebooks is fine, but we didn't get better automotive safety standards by just being choosy about the kind of cars we buy in the first place. It was a political -- not a consumer -- process that brought about change.

Exactly. We are currently debating $10 vs. $6 to store 1000 hours of music.

The only answer to my actual question so far indicates that when it gets down to $1 vs 60c, they’ll just say “Whatever. Leave it uncompressed.”

Thus 90% of the discussion has instead been about 4G streaming lossless real time voice and podcasts to mobile devices with price-gouged storage to be listened to through very lossy Bluetooth compression :p

And, 9% has been about how FLAC as a container format did a good job standardizing metadata. But, that has nothing to do with audio encoding within the container :P
Looking for tool or someone to build slack tool for social media listening
I’m one of the co-founders of Pigeon Loans (W22). We made a smarter way for lending and borrowing between friends, family, and people in your community.

On social media (Twitter, Facebook, reddit) people will randomly ask for help or complain about a loan situation they are dealing with. We are often able to DM these people and bring them to our platform at a very high rate. The challenge is manually looking for all these conversations.

Current tools are bringing in too much noise (a lot of irrelevant conversations). We are willing to pay for someone to build an effective solution for us as it will bring in real business. Perhaps even one that uses machine learning and GPT-3 to get better over time.

Let’s chat if you have an idea or a product you can point us too.
in California and I think in all US states, significant and continued corruption is decades old.. forged-copies of official IDs are sold on blackmarkets, best if copied directly from the original, right? .. this extends into the US Mail handling of the IDs after they are printed but before they arrive at the citizens' possession. It is not discussed in public- why?

For me personally, and I know others as well, I can't stand ads, if it comes down to the end of the world or accepting ads, goodbye world.
So naturally I go quite a bit out of my way to remove ads and build tools that remove ads, everywhere I can.
With YouTube's current trend of doing the worst job possible (see removing dislikes) there is no way in hell I'm going to be paying them anything.

The official YouTube app is unable to play 2160p 60Hz video on my Android TV because it stutters and falls back to 1440p 60Hz. Doesn't matter whether I use the native app or the built-in Chromecast. NewPipe doesn't have any problems.

The official YouTube app also sometimes just decides that 480p is enough for everybody and refuses to play any higher resolution until I force-close the app from the Android settings multiple times. Since using NewPipe I have never experienced a video playing in another resolution than the highest available.

Plus, since Google/Alphabet is doing everything they can to funnel as much money away from the EU via various tax avoidance systems, I don't feel any shame. I try to donate to the creators via various channels, if one is available.
That would be a handy thing to do. A workaround could be to have a raspberry pi or similar as your ssh access point to a local network via ngrok, with your main ngrok service running on another machine on the local network in screen or tmux. Then just ssh into the raspberry pi, connect to the machine running the main ngrok service, drop into the session and reconfigure as you like?
A 10 inch tablet is definitely streets ahead for PDFs, which are usually authored for A4ish paper anyway. Shrinking that down to 6 inches is pretty horrible, even with a hiDPI eink screen, and if you zoom and pan, the update speed is dreadful.

However, I do far prefer reflowable text on an ereader. I just had to give up on the idea of one device fulfilling both use cases: you can't have a 100g, one handed, two week battery device that you can read in a sunbeam as well as a device that can handily render a PDF and allow smooth zoom, pan and searching.
> We can distribute videos for free, you remember that, right?

Outside of a purely P2P system like Peertube, how would you distribute videos for free? Are there not server costs?
If you are disturbed by having your picture taken by a cop, then you should probably get rid of your smart phone.

What a strange thing to read. I've been to dozens and dozens of urban places in Europe that have streets without sidewalks.

Or in many of the places, the sidewalks exist, but are useless because cars are allowed to park on them.

I've never understood how people in wheelchairs are able to get anywhere in most of "civilized" Europe.
Do they care about the FS just silently eating data? I ask because btrfs has been known to do that. Sure, you're not replacing the drive, but you're probably wiping the VM's disk image and creating a new one.
OMG thank you for posting this! The last thing I knew about open firmwares for e-readers was OpenInkpot, and that seems to be dead for a long time.

Now I can finally revive my kobo without having it nag me for full internet access all the time. The only way it would let me transfer my local files there without some full online sync detour was opening its browser and downloading them from a python3 -m http.server :D
Maybe people don't believe it.

The cheapest flight I can see on SouthWest.com is $60, for a 1 hour journey from Atlanta to South Carolina.

The cheapest flight with Ryanair from Copenhagen is $9, though it doesn't include checked luggage. It's also an hour.

An even cheaper one is Kraków to Eindhoven, 2 hours, $6. There are fewer dates for this price though.
That might have been a reason. But ads were a known way of monetization. Long before the internet. And in the early days, before it grew to become its own thing old models were just done in the new medium.

Like newspapers. They had ads. So also had their digital versions. And hey. It was a fad. It would pass. A lot of execs did not take it seriously.

Why invest in a payment system for these few strange people online.
Thankyou for that! I thought perhaps it may be a corruption of countenance but that doesnt seem to make sense given the original translation either
Those are done much better with a web site (for many purposes, a static website with no Javascript is sufficient!) than by downloading a gigantic possibly-insecure app.

I was in jail with a guy who robbed a 7-11. This is how he got caught:

Goes into store, masked up, with gun. Sticks up cashier. Walks cashier back to manager's office and sticks up manager. Cashier takes moment of distraction to try to call 911 on her iPhone. Robber sees and snatches phone off her and puts in his pocket. Takes all money from store, exits out back to waiting car, takes off. Clean getaway. 15 mins later pulled over at intersection by cops swarming from all directions.

Immediately after robbery, manager called cops. Turned up two mins later. Showed them Find My iPhone on the store PC. Cop radios everyone in area and directs their movements. Game over.

Funny thing with jail is that you get to really like guys even if their crimes were bogus. He was a funny guy and I felt bad for him because the previous two times he'd been locked up for armed robbery he had got out to find his wife pregnant. He'd adopted both kids and was very sweet to them on the phone when I overheard him, but honestly, his wife is probably pregnant again now.
As long as Google put something on the web that can be accessed using standard HTTP calls, there’s no obligation on anyone’s side to use the way of consuming that is most convenient for Google. If Google want to control it, they can sell CDs, embed ads inside a video or similar. Or just get of the web. But using HTTP on the internet the way it’s intended to be used is totally ok.
What would that user experience look like? $0.50/mo per channel? $5/mo for all minecraft channels?

Given the overhwelming negative response to how cable priced and bundled channels, and the simplicity that competitors like Netflix have, I'm not sure users would prefer that.
I'm pointing out the inconsistencies of the liberal ideology.
Hi, JD here, Hydra's CTO. Thanks for the interest and questions!

Today, queries need to be Postgres-compatible to be intelligently routed, but queries with specific query syntax or functions beyond Postgres can be routed with our manual router[1]. This is our first solution to this problem and plan to iterate in response to customer pain.

Sorry for the confusion! Data moves asynchronously -- we're not trying to implement multi-phase commits -- but we can act on data very quickly once committed. Our solution here uses Postgres logical replication. Using the Data Bridge is optional and a customer's existing solutions are welcome as well.

Exactly this. I run this setup personally: mailserver on my home PC with a relay on my Hetzner dedicated server.

The relay proxies all inbound and outbound mail, performs spam filtering but stores no mail.

I do this because my home PC's IP changes constantly, and my ISP also blocks port 25.

Relays are easy to setup, mailcow-dockerized has built in support.
>they should have caught this 5-10 years ago

They mostly did. They've been warning about this for 3+ years now (see this report from the FCC back in September and October 2019)
https://ecfsapi.fcc.gov/file/102214765103/AVSI%20RA%20Interi...

They couldn't have warned folks about more than a year or so sooner than that, because the spectrum bands for 5G hadn't even been fully decided prior to it. (The public notice of band reconfiguration only got announced back in May 2019)

Interesting, thank you!

Why does 100M vectors not work in ES?

- Is this a configuration issue -- common for ES users -- or something fundamental?

- It sounds like latency is the main thing. Any numbers intuition here, and any other dimensions of concern?

AFAICT ES is using the same OSS vector libraries as pinecone, weaviate, etc. ES in general is used for > 100M documents, e.g., logging, so this is surprising.

We are seeing growing interest by our ES/Splunk users in combining our viz tech with vector indexes, so I've been wondering about these, thanks! We currently go out-of-band at the compute tier or dump in our own indexes, but are thinking through managed flows, where fundamental limits gets interesting.
It's funny how piracy solves pretty much all of the problems, while being the free variant.
I was not aware of those, they look just lie what I needed for my Kobo. Which one would you recommend?
>" Obfuscating (because that’s what they are doing not encrypting for security). Revisiting releasing documentation is more effort than posting it on a damn website."

There is a great deal of encryption on modern vehicles; most new models have encrypted communications backbones.

>"Takes time and money. Writing code, developing tools, and creating repair manuals has to be done either way."

What takes time and money? Obfuscation, or creating open tools? I think you may be surprised to learn how poorly the 'design-side' supports the 'service-side' in automotive and other vehicular industries.

>"How in gods name is making something accessible more expensive when you are already doing these things for your internal technicians."

The automakers do a lot of ad-hoc stuff, and they're often inconsistent between models and platforms. Making things uniformly accessible is different from their normal modus operandi, and likely more expensive.

Wow, that's indeed a very niche learning strategy. (: I like it though!

I'd definitely like to expand the configurability of jpdb up to a point where you'll actually be able to do something like this in the future. Unfortunately that's not going to be anytime soon, so you're definitely better off with sticking with what you have now. (The most immediate feature that I have planned soon-ish are pure kanji decks; the necessary customizability for the rest will come much later.)
That's pretty much every reader not made by amazon. My kobo takes any epub without complaining.
Somewhat amusing that the radio altimeters in 737-200 models aren't affected, while all others are. The 200 models entered service in the late 1960s.
I like the idea but how does one go about getting a photo of a police officer and their badge number etc without getting smashed into the sidewalk face first?
I mean, you're supposed to be at the gate when boarding starts. For all practical purposes if you miss boarding you've missed your flight even if the plane hasn't left the ground due to safety rules about letting passengers go after the door is considered closed.

There's a bit of a checklist of things that need to be completed after the door gets closed and the gate pulls away. They're often incentivized to try and speed things up, so if there's nobody at the gate anymore to board they might assume those passengers decided not to go on the flight. Especially with people now checking into flights the day before, the airline may not even know if the passenger is even at the airport and would realistically show up to the gate anytime soon as checking in means pretty much nothing these days.

They're not scamming anyone. Your ticket said you were supposed to be at the gate to board at a certain time. You weren't there, so you missed the flight.
I really hope that activitypub and the federated web end up becoming the technologies that "win" out of all the nonsense that is "Web3", but the wildly successful monetization of traditional web platforms and the "different-but-more" monetization of the crypto-obsessed vision of Web3 are nearly impossible for platforms like Peertube and Mastodon to effectively win out against.
It is shaming the abuse of a naked body, and the mind that goes with it. I have more respect for the beauty of the naked body than do porn producers and consumers. Real meaningful sex is respect for the naked body, porn is a poor, pathetic, addictive, mind altering and weakening synthetic substitute. Get it?
You can definitely notice 2 lbs + butted tubing upgrade while riding a bike. It's essentially why Raleigh offered 3 grades of steel bikes in the 70s :

28 lbs : carbon steel (2 models)

25 lbs : 531 butted main tubes, forks (2 models)

23 lbs : 531 throughout (2 models)

The super course was a bit of an aberration (27 lbs; 531 plain gauge steel main tubes only; only a 1 lbs upgrade from carbon steel; the 531 did not improve the bike but the sticker on the seat tube conferred bragging rights!)
Yes, it is. It's also the fastest and best available free website offering.

Just Jekyll could be replaced by Hugo, if you care enough. This has much more features.
