I'm not saying otherwise, although i don't have any experience with multicast (i just know people who were playing with that some years back). Feel free to point to some more detailed/critical resources if you have links at hand.

But even on unicast networks Bittorrent (and other P2P protocols) largely outperforms any cloud provider in terms of bandwidth, especially in parts of the world where your "cloud" company has no infrastructure.

What i was denouncing is that many ISPs (at least in France) make sure if you have 10Mbit/s upload it will work fine on a route to Google, but you won't ever get the full 10Mbit/s to your literal neighbor who's using a competing ISP... You'll be happy if you even get 1Mbit/s.

There's no technical reason for that, it's all political/economical considerations (the same that make us have asymmetric bandwidth, no static IP, no configurable reverse DNS, etc).
Slightly tangential, but Markdown does actually "kinda" support comments with a little bit of abuse of the link syntax. Almost every renderer will swallow the comment in the following example:

> This is a quote of some kind

[//]: # (This won't be in the rendered output.)

Blah blah blah

Keypoints brings a lot of other things to the table than just comments, including an upcoming possibility of crosslinking between PDF docs [0], but I've wanted to add annotations often enough to small Markdown documents enough that I've memorised the above little trick. It even works with the original Markdown.pl implementation.

Foldables are generally a stupid idea.

I really liked the detachable idea LG was putting out, but their out of the OEM race.

Seconded. I'm happy that my Mate20X came out just before Google yanked Play Store access to all subsequent Huawei devices.
The electronics industry has been anti-customer for a long time now.

I stopped buying Sony back in the late 90s when all the DVD copy protection started. Then they added Cinavia, and so on. I don't agree with piracy, but I certainly don't agree with being told how I can use something I've purchased.

And just yesterday there's the story about Dymo crippling their label printers if it does detect... RFID in their own paper.

It's going to get worse.
Why people still believe in the 'soulmate myth'
If you’re wondering why it would appear so:

Most flags are made of two regional indicator symbols, like this for the United Kingdom which has ISO 3166 code GB:

U+1F1EC REGIONAL INDICATOR SYMBOL LETTER G
U+1F1E7 REGIONAL INDICATOR SYMBOL LETTER B

If the font has flags, it should render this as a Union Jack, but if it doesn’t, it should render something along the lines of “GB” (which, frankly, is generally more useful if you try using flags without labels).

But Scotland has the ISO 3166 code GB-SCT, a format the regional indicators weren’t designed to cope with (for better or for worse), so it uses a different encoding technique and is comprised of the following sequence of seven scalar values:

U+1F3F4 WAVING BLACK FLAG
U+E0067 TAG LATIN SMALL LETTER G
U+E0062 TAG LATIN SMALL LETTER B
U+E0073 TAG LATIN SMALL LETTER S
U+E0063 TAG LATIN SMALL LETTER C
U+E0074 TAG LATIN SMALL LETTER T
U+E007F CANCEL TAG

As you observe, this has a significantly worse fallback behaviour: the tag characters are non-printing, so you get just a black flag.
FaceID sucks in the car when mounted on dash. Find myself moving my face around to login sometimes while trying to watch the road based on mount location. TouchID can be used easily while maintaining constant eyes on the road.
Germany seems to have gotten rid of sütterlin as well. None of my German friends can decipher it. I figure on using it for communicating with my U-Boot fleet, nobody will know what my commands are! HAHAHHAHHAHHAAAA

Detecting cat pictures is nothing compared to deciphering sütterlin. Even Unicode has rejected it, despite accepting useless text like Linear A.
Lean Branching – a Git branching model to keep clean history
Awesome job. I have also made another Clojure interactive tutorial which is more advanced, even showcases how to use React with ClojureScript. It is available in https://orgpad.com/s/clojure-tutorial and I have made a video about it in https://youtu.be/lJxvKNjRdu8.
Absolutely agree, this was a red line for me as well. Coming with pre-installed crapware is one thing, but installing it during a security update is just malicious. I switched to a Google Pixel 4a with Calyx OS around a year ago and never regretted it even once. I mean -- what are they thinking about their userbase? They didn't just lose a customer they've gained an enemy.
You’re right about it not being habitable, but since when has that stopped humans?

Logistically speaking the only “op-ex” we couldn’t really bank on getting plenty of from Mars itself is Hydrogen. Not because it’s not on Mars but because it’s clearly unevenly distributed. So obviously it would be foolish to not have plans for that. But hydrogen is bloody everywhere in the solar system. Yes it’s not convenient but it’s cheap. If we’re talking about 10 and 20 year plans, then you just harvest icy asteroids or tow a convenient comet in place.

Fundamental issue is rebuilding infrastructure on earth. Beyond that it’s all doable with current technology and a solid commitment to make it happen, I don’t see a financial case, I see a potential social one. Yea your going to be living under meters of regolith and breathing recycled air, drinking recycled water and the place might smell like Body odour more than most like due to limited water supply…. But it sounds no worse to me than the sort of hardships faced by early settlers on the American frontier.

With re-established infrastructure we get to manufacturing essential equipment chains, I’m assuming starship level logistics so that’s a million tons to Mars. A million tons of equipment designed to and this is critical… oversupply the needs of the people to come, because there will be losses on all fronts, energy has resistance, plumbing has leaks, people make mistakes, all of this is realistic.

I have to be clear. I’m not picturing some fancy space tourist thing, I’m picturing a technologically dependent hard scrabble life of constant vigilance against life and death failure scenarios. But we have the technology to do this right now if we can put enough mass on the surface of mars to oversupply the losses we know our systems currently have. Only water supply makes that tricky… but we continue to be surprised by how much water is spread around mars in frozen pockets and there’s always the comet option. Cut it up in orbit and ship it down with a cheap but good enough spray on heat shield and a strap on parachute if you have to in order to minimise losses, we developed prototype systems for emergency re-entry in the early space age, sure it probably wasn’t safe enough for people, but frozen chunks of water don’t care if you jostle them too hard, they have no bones to break just can’t let it get too hot. Yes the need for a comet might push the start date beyond the point where I’m young enough, but it might not because we’re not exactly surveying for likely mars water supply comets and we might not even need it at all if we keep finding frozen water and brine under the surface.
Technically true but from the way I understand the article they are implying Oblongular.
> You're paid to create value for your employer.

Not quite. You're retained to create value for the company, but you're not paid based on that value. You're paid based on what it takes to keep you there and not quit. In some (many?) cases that may be far lower than the value you create.
I use “crypto” (ew) to buy drugs and pay a couple of tax-evading employees salaries in DAI.

I don’t think “crypto in general is, at best, just gambling” is fair, there are significant other uses.

I don't think it would necessarily have to be all that humongous: Have your tent permanently erected on the sled, on top of the supplies. Not necessarily fully erected; spread out and attached at the bottom (probably / preferably on a rigid floor above the supplies down on the bottom of the sled), but collapsed down on top of the floor or supplies. Perhaps with a solid(ish) "lid" for a roof and collapsible textile only for the walls. Keep your sleeping bag and hammock and other use-every-night stuff in the tent, above the floor or other supplies. If you go with a rigid floor you might sleep on that; if not, you'll have to go with a hammock (which is probably preferable anyway).
Try Turkish, everything is spelled as they are written, although the grammar will make you insane.
> All the spammy answers just saying "@threadreaderapp" or something like that - THAT is the worst in my eyes

Agreed, I wish Twitter would just crack down on that and ban bots like that.
It is, but it's worth making the trade-off explicit. In a day and age where 1/3 of the world population drinks water polluted with lead, and a recent study was published this week on HN claiming out of over 1000 water streams studied only 2 were unpolluted by medicine, the chemical treatments and quantity of water required for some production are key metrics to consider.

I mean it's not that i'm not worried about CO2 emissions. But tackling this problem is super easy and it's just no politician/businessman is interested in the answer (degrowth and low-tech). Forever-chemicals and polluted water sources on the other hand is a much harder and yet mostly-undiscussed problem beyond collapsologist circles.

+2°C is worrisome and will have significant damage on many species. Polluted water sources challenges the very idea of humanoid life in much of the world. It's interesting to note that both problems have the very same origin (industrial capitalism) and the same solution: don't produce shit we don't need, don't produce un-durable stuff, don't produce stuff from cheapest imported/synthetic materials.
Amazing!

Maybe a better approach is to follow them from a distance with small autonomous drones.
I was always wondering why something like this doesn't exist already! This is really great.

Would it be possible to add `add-libs` from `tools.deps.alpha`? https://insideclojure.org/2018/05/04/add-lib/ Then you could add libraries at runtime directly from the REPL

You could then pair it with a pastbin and share/run code snippets (with some URL shortener). Could you imagine the possibilities for bug reports for instance? :D You could reproducibly demo bugs (well and features as well)
Agree. Plus you don't sponsor the throwaway culture.

Have you actually tried? Do you have a video of this? Because as far as I know, and I actually work with electrophoretics, physics limits the speed of the ink. I hope you're not confusing something like A2 mode with actual display updates.
I’m happy to see developers pushing the branching status quo forward. Honestly, most of the companies have pretty messed up branching, and we have the tech and intelligence to do way better. Methodologies, like Lean Branching for instance!

Keep it going!

Really? How so? You just buy colored tiles, transfer the outline to the mortar, and put the tiles in like paint-by-number.
This is not coming from Font Awesome; you’re using regular emoji, and depending on the host being able to render it. U+1F355 SLICE OF PIZZA has been around since 2010, but the Scotland flag sequence is from 2017 and some platforms have been deliberately not including country flags because they are generally not necessary (though the Scottish flag suffers more than most because of its composition, see my other nearby comment) and they are the subject of a few international disputes (e.g. PRC objects to Taiwan’s flag being included) and so it’s easier to just keep out of it all.
Similar to others here, I disable all interruptible notifications except for family sms and calls.

Apps that I allow to notify me (there are a few), do so by sticking the notification in the system tray - this way, I dictate when I receive them.
You make a good point. Are people successful because they are happy, or vice versa?
> We saw four times as many awards earned by the initially happiest soldiers

They have conflated the idea of winning an award with being a top performer, but winning an award has more to do with being well-liked than being a top performer. There are top performers who don't win awards, and there are people who aren't top performers who do win awards.

Really what they've shown is that if you want an award, you should be happy, and people will think you're a top performer. If you don't believe me, wait a bit and people will be citing this study as proof that happiness leads to top performers, hence happy people must be top performers.
> The problem with e-ink is no so much the poor gamut

I don't understand what you mean by "poor gamut". Gamut of grayscale?
Was the top level comment edited or something? I see "disadvantaged by race, gender, sex, class, mental health, and other forms of discriminitation as well as poverty" which includes a lot of the issues you mentioned, it's you who focused on race exclusively.
You still can't avoid the performance penalty of a tree allocation for something like bracket pairing. Or AST analysis or any one of billion things people want from a code editor.
So the author had a folding phone that failed and couldn't get it repaired/replaced. The narrow take is that you're kinda crazy to buy a folding phone but Samsung was selling them so is really on the hook for the inevitable issues.

The story of getting it fixed is really why people love Apple and even Amazon.

I've had the Wifi go unreliable on an iPad. I got a Genius appointment for later that day. They confirmed the Wifi module was shot and just gave me a new device on the spot. They even offered to do the transfer for me. This sort of convenience is what gives people confidence in buying Apple products.

Even something as simple as accessory access matters. If my Macbook charger dies, I can walk into any number of stores and buy another. Dell charger? Not so much.

Amazon has pretty accurate shipping estimates. This matters. So does Apple for the record. Just last week I got sent the wrong product. I didn't have to talk to anyone on the phone. I simply went to my order on my phone and clicked "return item" -> "wrong product" and the entire matter was dealt with.

I don't want to deal with support that is deliberately hard to contact that is monetarily motivated to not do anything for you.

As @svantana mentioned this unfortunately does not remove any personalization in Song Radio, etc. As long as you're logged in, these auto-generated playlists will contain exactly the same (personalized!) list of songs, regardless of whether you open them with or without the `si` and `utm` parameters. Removing `si` and `utm` just removes marketing / referral tracking information.

I'd be looking at microPython on an ESP - programming is simple; you get easy access to the GPIO/UART/etc; there are MQTT libraries; and the software & platform will be stable. What's not to like?

If you go for the Linux/Raspberry option, the coding will be of similar difficulty (perhaps a fraction easier). But Linux / RaspberryPiOS puts you on the never-ending upgrade and security path. There's not much in the way of attach surface on an ESP, but a Pi needs more thought. Especially as (over time) the little Pi is likely to acquire more complex apps ... a web front-end would be tempting :) ... but then you have to upgrade a webserver, and keep all the libraries up-to-date...

Keep it simple.
Hey sorry I didn't see this reply until now!

We take the transcripts and run natural language processing models on them to find keywords, n-grams, and pronouns. We then categorize the pronouns according to type (person, organization, media, location, event, etc.)

The search engine itself is just transcripts in Elasticsearch.

From the feedback I've gotten so far, I think the best thing to do is actually integrate this with YouTube through a browser extension, and have users call the backend to do this processing on-demand (with caching of course). It seems the video breakdowns are more important than searching for most people, since with YouTube you can do some kind of content searching, just not very transparently.
Google and FB are unscrupulous and terrible.

But it is absurd to insist the only two valid transaction models are offer paid service (which I assume means for money) or gift. Even in your hypothetical, it would not be unreasonable for them to give me a donut in exchange for taking notes on which donut I like and handing me a coupon for my next donut.

To me, the issue is not the data collection. It is the lack of transparency.
Benjamin Franklin was his father's 10th son, and his family only had enough money to send him to school for 2 years. He started working as an apprentice at age 12. At 17, he ran away from home and supported himself doing menial labor in Philadelphia print shops.

He ended up very rich, but he didn't start that way.

I read a book by a Czech resistance guy who managed to escape the death penalty in a Nazi court by feigning enough stupidity and "only" got sentenced to 10 years in prison in Glatz (nowadays Klodzko in Poland).

According to him, they spent their prison days working on manually recycling old ropes for the German war effort. In 1944-1945.

People that barely participate on HN are the ones with the loudest voices when it comes to what should/may be posted and what not. But you have all the power you need to improve HN right at your fingertips: quality submissions, rather than ASK HN's requesting blanket censorship, upvotes of articles on the new page that are interesting (and note that there is more than one new page). That's far more effective than a ban on one of the most popular social media sites, that also happens to be a pretty good conduit for timely stuff.

Have a look at a couple of these pages and decide if you wanted to lose all of the highly upvoted links:

I don't think the parent is making a strong claim in this direction, moreso that Facebook/Meta has very few new innovations and prefers to acquire them.

Other companies are also quite profitable or have strong market caps but are also not innovating and prefer to acquire new innovations (Oracle being a prime example).
