Dehumidifiers aren't what's thermodynamically impossible, of course; Fontus was just making quantitative performance claims that were thermodynamically impossible about how small their system would be and how little energy it would use.

You don't need to sink to citing YouTubers to figure out how much water air contains. You can just consult a standard psychrometric chart: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:PsychrometricChart.S...

You can see from that chart that at, for example, 20 degrees and 30% relative humidity (which, if you're not aware, is pretty dry), you have about 5 mg of water per gram of air, or about 5 grams of water per kg of air, which is about 0.8 cubic meters (1.2 g/liter). So if you want to produce 10 liters of water per day for your family, you need to run 2,000 cubic meters of air through your dehumidifier. (Or a bit more because you can't reduce it to 0% humidity.)

That might sound like a lot, but it's per day, so it works out to 49 cfm, which is not "big fans and lots of power". If we're talking about a 300 mm square aperture it's 260 mm/s of airflow, a breeze you can barely feel, which requires a totally insignificant amount of power compared to the actual refrigeration involved. This is not going to fit nicely on your bicycle like in the fraudulent Fontus videos but it is entirely reasonable as a household appliance.

Solar electricity is free if you aren't using it for something else.

As for bacterial growth and filtering, yeah, that's a real design constraint, and it's one that HVAC systems have fallen down on in the past with disastrous results, but it's not some kind of unsolved engineering problem. Every air conditioner, sea voyage, and water tower deals with it. Here in Argentina just about every house has a rooftop drinking-water tank, where we control bacterial growth with chlorination, by impregnating the tank plastic with bacteriostatic agents, and by making the tanks opaque so algae can't grow. Thousands of years ago, mariners dealt with it by dropping a silver coin in each amphora of drinking water.

It would be a more difficult problem if a dehumidifier were warm and moist, but actually it's cold and moist.

As for the relative costs of tankers and electricity, well, that varies depending on where you are. Around here supply chains are so unreliable that I'd hate to rely on a weekly delivery from a water tanker in order to not die of thirst in 48 hours. (Fortunately, I live a few kilometers from the biggest river in the world. Water is not a problem here, though in places pollution is.)
The idea is not to actively store it, but dump it somewhere where it will store itself.

Europe is a great example of how we have the technology to transfer huge amounts of gas, and the challenges are largely politics and capital.

Ask HN: Has the quality of HN Discussion changed during the pandemic?
TL:DR:

From a mobile device, no matter my intent or effort, I suspect I'm less likely to be able to engage in discourse with the level of organization and expression I'm accustomed to compared a "full-size" computer. Curious on the ramifications both for me personally as well as the sociological implications for the community discourse.

Explanation:

I was thinking, and there seem to be a lot more typos due to input errors from mobile devices:

1. Thumb keyboard off-by-one errors.

2. Bad auto-correct.

3. Automatic speech recognition gone wrong.

4. Combined with: On a tiny screen, it's harder in general to detect input errors, especially in long strings / paragraphs of entered text.

I'm asking because I find myself browsing HN more and more from my phone during the pandemic, and find that more of these errors slide past me compared to what I typically expect of myself.

And then I was thinking, if more people posting from mobile, where it's quite difficult not to let these small errors through at as good of a rate compared to a proper desktop or notebook computer scenario.

Curious on your hot take! I'm certain Mr. DanG knows a lot, but maybe not all.
How many years can mobile phone companies, their service providers, and trade groups leverage the two characters “5G” for press hits and organic search traffic?
Of course not. My question was about how equivalent pork belly is to bacon. It appears that they are only vaguely equivalent. If I wanted some fatty pork, pork belly would be a good choice. If I wanted bacon, pork belly is not a substitute. thank you for the suggestion.
A big part of it is increased demand caused by the disruptions themself: a lot of companies are now stocking to have enough to run production for the whole year, while otherwise they'd order just-in-time. That causes further reduced availability, which causes more companies to stock up, repeat ad infinitum.
My understanding of the GDPR is that it doesn't apply if the analytics are fully anonymized, and only partially applies if the analytics are pseudonymous[1]. It's exceedingly likely that one of these cases applies, since the ID in question is tied to a single Mozilla installation, not individual user or even browser profile.

AirMyne is trying to remove CO2 from the atmosphere and sequester it attached to rocks underground. Pumping surface water down sequesters surface water down deep that recently collected CO2 from the atmosphere, and exposes incrementally less-saturated surface water to collect more.

The important difference is not how the CO2 is collected, or where it ends up. Ultimately, what matters is how much mass of CO2 is collected per unit cost, and how much CO2 is collected in total. I.e., how profitable is it, and how much difference does it really make? We need methods that can move CO2 out of the atmosphere by, ultimately, billions of tons per week.
I think it is the fate of companies that got big on innovation, but lost their edge because they got too far ahead and priorities shifted. They lose their ability to be innovative as others catch up so they have to find other ways to give shareholders value.
I initially thought this was a fringe comment, but I was surprised to learn that your criticisms have basis, with adherents like Milton Friedman [1]. It certainly toppled my presumptive association of the AMA with putting patient care first.

This also wouldn't be so bad if people were capable of nuance instead of acting as if everything involving data were the same thing. I won't claim Mozilla is in any way perfect, but even as someone who is very much pro-privacy it is a little bit ridiculous how much people loose their shit about tiny things like this and claim there is no difference to what other trackers do.

And one advantage of short or medium length sausage menus on PCs is that they probably don't require any scrolling.

In my opinion, that's what's so nice about them; natural to scroll on mobile, and probably not requiring any scrolling on PCs.

If the items don't entirely fit on most PC screens, then I would take that as a hint that there's too many items for a sausage menu to be a good solution. (subsequently reaching for hamburgers, reducing the number of items, or exploring other options... eg. a sausage menu could also be more than one line?)
Can any automated solution be reliable enough? I don't think so unless you can prove it does less harm than a professional medical translator.

It appears that the early release, demo units had a software problem. Wall Street Journal has confirmed that. I expect that a firmware or OS patch will fix that. The camera is a 12mp camera similar to the excellent one in the iPad Pro and should not be producing that kind of results.

I contributed a number of file formats a few years ago (and attempted numerous others) but ran into a number of problems with certain file formats:

1. It's not possible to read from the file until a multiple byte termination sequence is detected. [1]

2. You can't read sections of a file where the termination condition is the presence of a sequence of bytes denoting the next unrelated section of the file (and you don't want to consume/read these bytes) [2]

3. The WebIDE at the time couldn't handle very large file format specifications such as Photoshop (PSD) [3]

4. Files containing compressed or encrypted sections require a compression/encryption algorithm to be hardcoded into Kaitai struct libraries for each programming language it can output to.

The WebIDE I particularly liked as it makes it easy to get started and share results. I also liked how Kaitai Struct allows easy definition of constraints (simple ones at least) into the file format specification so that you can say "this section of the file shall have a size not exceeding header.length * 2 bytes".

Some alternative binary file format specification attempts for those interested in seeing alternatives, each with their own set of problems/pros/cons:

Tim Duncan is a bad example.

Tim Duncan is close to 7 feet tall. Supposedly roughly 20% of men 20-40 who are 7 feet tall are in the NBA. What percentage of men of average height are in the NBA?

When David Robinson was in high school, he was not considered an NBA talent. When he grew to over 7 feet, he was drafted first and is now in the Hall of Fame.

Height is a huge advantage in basketball. Larry Bird said that if he wasn't 6'9", then he wouldn't be in the NBA.

Tim Duncan was a great player, great mind, and great leader, but height was integral to how he played.
Chrome loves to eat huge chunks of available CPU on my MacBook while watching YouTube videos. I use ublock origin so my fans are basically never running otherwise, even on other streaming platforms. Netflix does tend to run the fans continuously, but at a very quiet, low rate.

This machine is ooold so having the fans run at max always makes me nervous. This never happens in firefox. I've talked to friends on relatively new MacBooks and they all run into the same issue with Chrome + YouTube.

Anyone know what the he'll Chrome is up to with this?
Why would the government take on actual work which they would promptly fail at and profits would soon go to zero ? They can just keep on collecting the sweet 21% corporate tax in addition to payroll taxes and income taxes on all the employees instead.
Oh, I thought lostcolony had already eliminated that specific scenario as not being bigoted. It can be biased, but it wouldn't be bigoted if there are justifiable reasons for not making the switch. That isn't prejudice as it is a decision made after the relevant details are known.
My brother, his girlfriend, and myself were on the way to a Halloween party in rural Tennessee on a fairly empty stretch of highway (though it was around 3pm). We reached a quiet point in the conversation and after a few seconds someone said "that's funny," to which all 3 of us in the car replied "what is?"

There's no way for me to appropriately convey the timing that 100% convinced me none of the 3 of us said "that's funny"
That only works if the market recognizes the long-term impact of financialization and prices the company accordingly. Otherwise you'll be paying more than the company is actually worth. By the time it becomes obvious that the company was overpriced it's too late. Whatever actual value might have been there back in the day has already been destroyed.
> the issue only arises/arose when mounting from macOS into the VM

Isn't that the usual case: you have your code on your local filesystem and then run it using an interpreter in the Docker VM?
Does this even help with that though? Without some further means of identifying users, what use is there in saying download#123 got installed x times? Even if you add the obvious IP information to this, then what? Run GeoIP and say "oh, interesting" when they do or do not correlate?

What could they realistically figure out from this that could help them figure out how people are getting Firefox?
I'm giving you an up vote as I think your opinion deserves to be heard...

However, I think you are wrong and haven't justified your point.

When I look at the work of someone like Gregory Crewdson[1] who has an idea, builds a set, lights a set, posses models and then processes multiple negatives into a final finished image, I see something.

I think it's art because it's a deliberate, complex thing. I see no purpose in it other than to be pleasing. I don't know where his vison comes from but it's much copied but, to my mind, so far not equalled.

Which is a long way round to saying, I like it. :P

If David Lynch films are art then Gergory Crewdson photographs are the same kind of art.

1. He actually uses a whole team to make his images but I'll just talk about him to save on confusion.
I've been successful enough, but glancing at my bank account it doesn't look like i can literally buy 51% of any company I've heard of. Have you done it? Or can you help point me to someone like myself who has? If 'you' meant "Private Equity Firms that specialize in hostile leveraged buyouts", are they numerous enough to squeeze inefficiency out of the Fortune 500?
While reading this update, I can't help but think about the book Seveneves whose whole message seemed to be think of what we could accomplish if we just looked beyond this Red vs Blue crap.
- The entire center-aligned blocks of text on the page moved over in relation to my scrolling for some reason

This one kind of makes sense to me. It's the browser's way of telling you "you're doing the right thing to scroll the whole page over, but there's no content outside of your viewport so we'll just snap you back after we let you peek to see for yourself".

The rest... yeah, it's definitely an overloaded pattern.

By that logic we should use car payments from cars bought 5 years ago instead of car prices today. Why doesn't CPI do this?

We should use mortgage payments from house bought 10 years ago, not estimates of current rents.

If I buy 100lbs of canned goods from Costco 10 years ago, we should use that pricing instead of current price of canned goods too.

If you are arguing that using backwards looking rent levels make sense, surely you must agree with these changes too, which are 100% logically consistent with that viewpoint? Otherwise you are just being intellectually dishonest

To say that CPI reflects prices paid over market rates is not even accurate because we don't measure fixed costs for most goods in the CPI, only current pricing. Rent is the only exception, where methodology is not aligned with current market pricing.

The Fed uses CPI as their primary tool for gauging inflation yes, among many other factors such as labor market tightness and so on. Core PCE specifically. Their entire inflation target is built around this as a metric, if you weren't aware.

Why you feel the need to defend it is beyond me. Clearly from a pure statistical sense, using backwards looking data to assist with forecasting is statistical nonsense. You can try to compensate for the flawed metric, with your own forecasting, but why not fix the metric to begin with?

But think whatever you like. I can't respect your view unless you agree that we should use lagging factors across the board to make measurement methodology consistent. Otherwise what is even driving your view? Bias?

What you're describing is a consumer expense index, not what I would think of as a consumer price index. And looking at locked in expenses from the past is largely useless from a monetary policy perspective.
What part of Mozilla's behavior makes you assume they don't? It's easy to come up with some dubious internal justification to store IPs (like to determine where to focus internationalization efforts).

This seems like it would just crash or make your program get into an inconsistent state. What happens if you are executing a transaction but mid transaction your binary gets updated and your transaction now has done half of what's needed by the old version and half of what's needed by the new version. I don't think it would be that hard to get into an inconsistent state.
That's basically what wasm attempts.
It makes no reference to lifetimes in the article, other than to say the outer electron shields it.

The Wikipedia article mentions that it has a high energy, which aligns with the original article, which also states they figured out how to lower the energy.

So, mixed signals... it could be stable??
Context is subjective, precision is universal. I (perhaps wrongly) don't think of HN as a USA-centric site based upon USA-centric discussion - I think of it as a global community - so my context expectations are set accordingly. But obviously, others may think differently.

I don’t need to “see his code” to know whether he is good. He is able to produce software that people pay money to acquire without the sliminess. Software is a means to an end. Not an end onto itself.

They were incentivised to not properly prescribe opioids. Don't be so quick to let the doctors off the hook. They're pleading ignorance isn't going to work. These were highly intelligent people who knew what they were doing and did it anyway in exchange for bribes from "Big Pharma".
Thanks, this is awesome stuff. I’ll have to give it a shot sometime.

I’m also seeing a full text search API, which is again, incredible, especially if these indices are relatively complete.

The article doesn't mention this as an issue? Actually, for Spanish it indicates the opposite.
I did actually skim through other apps that've been linked in the thread, and I didn't see one that seemed like a direct competitor with the combination of emoji + automatic face detection. Granted, this could be me defining the market too narrowly, and many people might get by without one of these just fine.

(My own App Store searching turned up one called Face Blur which seemed to have emoji as an option... as a subscription, which seems like a non-starter.)
An incredibly large amount of the complexity that exists in today's internet infrastructure could be eliminated if we didn't have to worry about security/trust. No need for HTTPS, encryption, or even passwords for that matter (in a perfect world where everyone is who they say they are). No need for certificates, no need for public/private keys, no need for ASLR, etc.

Of course, these protect against more than just malicious behavior, they also provide safeguards against human error. However, in a world where malicious behavior didn't exist, many of their designs could have probably been far simplified..
Sorry to hear about your father.

I agree we're letting our guard down far too soon and it looks like we'll will probably see another surge based on what's happening elsewhere around the world right now, and what we've already been through.

I live in a Deep Red county in rural Missouri. So far it's about 1 in 60 confirmed infected that die from it and around 220 that have died so far. Almost no one here wears masks and less than half are fully vaxxed and boosted.

If it's just a more convenient way to push a button on the Roomba (or avoid waiting for the timer) than the statement that a bunch of products stopped working was pretty misleading.
Forgive me if this sounds foolish, I don't know how this stuff works. Could it be possible to somehow write something like this as a requirement into the corporate charter or articles of incorporation such that if these terms were violated the company would have to be dissolved (or some other equivalent nuclear option)? Has there ever been anything like this e.g. 'if company ever stop selling x, it has to close down'?

A lot of popular password managers share them across subdomains by default, so if you manage to get this on a subdomain of the target domain it'll work fine.
Correct, it’s effectively the moral hazard problem. Where executives capture the upside (of short term gains in stock) and pass on the risk to future execs/shareholders.

Very difficult to align long term incentives unfortunately, unless the company is founder led.
