Made me chuckle. Until SSD are within the reach of a reasonable price range we're out of luck. I have resorted to leaving my NAS off and turning it on when I need it.

For reference here's the drives I have. I don't think they're by any means the loudest and nor are they the quietest. The perception of noise can be a lot to do with surroundings, if you have wooden floor instead of carpet and a whole number of factors. For me the constant whiring is too much.

We don't know, because manufacturers made sure that doesn't happen. There is no equivalent, premium-priced privacy-respecting TVs sold next to "smart" ones. And they definitely don't advertise the user-hostile "smart" features, such as telemetry and forced ads, as prominently as the price.

What we do know is that even the least price-sensitive consumers, that buy the most high-end TVs, aren't given the option:

Buying a product knowing it has ads in it is one thing, but users on Reddit and elsewhere are understandably angry about ads suddenly being patched into their devices—especially in cases when these devices are multi-thousand-dollar 4K Sony televisions - https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/04/google-pilot-program...
I agree - a used corporate small form factor PC from the likes of HP/Lenovo/Dell has tons of power for HA and can still be had for a next to nothing. They also sip power - under 10W at the wall at idle.
It's probably both. That doesn't mean it isn't true. And a little to counter the mostly pro nuclear articles on HN doesn't hurt.

Basically, there's no such thing as a profitable nuclear plant. Every nuclear plant in existence exists only because of vast amounts of public funding. People make lots of money with them but that's always courtesy of local tax payers and clever businesses making sure they are not on the spot when things get expensive.

When the price per mwh for renewables is an order of magnitude lower (or multiple orders long term), it becomes feasible to do really inefficient things with renewables and still be more cost effective. Things like simply installing 10x more than you need. Or using that excess capacity to generate e.g. hydrogen. Or just spending a lot of money on energy storage. Or building cables so power can be imported/exported between areas with surpluses and shortages. That's why Europe doesn't have rolling blackouts. It has a lot of wind and solar. Some countries have months where they use nothing else. And then winter comes and the lights stay on and no blackouts happen. There are challenges, sure. But they are addressable.

What's going on in the market is that legacy power generation is being dismantled more or less prioritized by cost. That's why many formerly coal dependent countries at this point are pretty far done getting rid of coal. Even some parts of the US with traditionally very strong coal lobbies. It just stopped being economical years ago. And that stopped being in doubts soon after. Gas is going to follow the same path now that gas is no longer cheap. Even just the wild price fluctuations of gas are problematic. You can't plan a business to stay financially healthy if the prices of your main resource fluctuate all over the place.

Nuclear has been in decline for decades. Old nuclear plants are exploited until the investments for keeping them going fall out of favor with local legislators. New nuclear plants are deeply unpopular and a relatively rare event at this point. Closing existing plants is likewise unpopular because of a sunk cost fallacy that makes it tempting to spend some more. But even that runs out at some point.

New plants occasionally get build of course; but rarely on budget or time and usually with vast amounts of public funding. Decommissioning nuclear actually requires investments as well. It's expensive and typically not actually factored into electricity pricing. Just like storing the waste for millennia isn't accounted for either. Or providing perpetual security to prevent terrorists doing things like building dirty bombs with stolen radioactive waste or simply sabotaging a plant. All that depends on public funding. Nuclear plants are stupendously expensive if you consider all of that.

The corruption pointed at in the article is basically about how public money has been used for decades to keep expensive nuclear plants going. Big spending infrastructure attracts all sorts of behavior. And where there is big government spending and not a whole lot of scrutiny, corruption is going to happen.
Another approach to that kind of vague code requirement might be for compliance software to do automated checks and also spit out the list of for-human-checking items. If the permitting authority only has to do things like "check the sliding door handles aren't daft" and not also "measure a lot of distances to emergency exits" it ought to speed things up still. The question then would be: are code requirements mostly of the objective "electric sockets must be at least 1m away from the bathtub" type or the assumes-human-evaluation "doors must be easily operable" type ?
People still use integrated navigation systems?

That makes sense. Could well be. Has significantly more gas been added than renewables over that past decade or so?
I'm somewhat of a Flask pro but have struggled to find a good entry on how to use it as a backend for a native iOS app (for someone who completely missed the Swift train). I guess it starts with migrating to Fastapi?
Preventing it from getting into the wires is the only option I know of.

Either cable-management to put all the cables off of the ground or in gutters, or block off the area using magnetic tape, virtual walls, or redzones depending on your vacuum.
You measure the pressure you need to apply, to stop the blood going through the cuff.

It’s probably not possible to measure blood pressure perfectly. +- 5mmHg seems to be a completely normal error, probably even more. But it seems to be good enough.
It's apprently not very accurate but I suppose good enough.

Germany's energy transition to green is arguably not a failure. Renewable energies manage to replace most of nuclear production in 15y while still reducing coal usage: https://energytransition.org/2018/01/german-energy-consumpti...
It's interesting that we are now at the stage were people demand real life examples of economies having completely transitioned to renewables. The are no real-life examples for economies being 100% nuclear and nuclear power plants have been build for 70 years (receiving large subsidies the whole time), so why are you demanding from a technology 20years old what the much older tech has not achieved? It's not like electricity grids can be changed overnight.

My bad. English is not my first language, but my favourite ;-).
We're currently working on including the lobbying costs of each provider on our website (https://findenergy.com), because we believe consumers should be aware of what providers are spending their money on.

We've also begun building a full industry map of who owns which power plants and the chain of parent companies / subsidiaries. Quite amazing how deep the rabbit hole goes on the thing that all of our modern lives rely on but many of us take for granted. For example here: https://findenergy.com/providers/first-energy/#overview you can see all of the companies tied to the company at the beginning of the article.

If any journalist or fellow dev is interested in this space, feel free to drop me and the team a note at alex@findenergy.com
Why restrict it to circulating supply? Is there some other type of ETH that isn’t circulating?
Do you have a plan for when these devices start including their own LTE modems?
Interesting thought experiment: if these become as common-place as "smart" TVs... you'll be left without a fridge. Are there any laws governing that some sort of refrigeration has to be available? I mean... seems like "the market doesn't provide fridges to part of the population" should count as a major market failure and should be regulated to avoid it?
My parents just got one of these POSes. What a UI fiasco.

And my mom is afraid to let anything drip on it, because they told her she needs special cleaner or it'll ruin the finish. And my parents are not gullible people.

Look forward to more of this shit, too: CA just outlawed gas appliances in new houses. But in an area stricken by permanent drought, do they do something sensible like requiring greywater recovery systems in new construction? NOPE.
In addition to what you say here, if we're going to actually solve the CO2-emissions problem, we're going to have a HUGE amount of variable load to match with variable production.

We're going to need a massive amount of green hydrogen for trucks, planes, ships, e-fuel, fertilizers, steel, etc. That's going to be fairly easy to balance with the variable output from renewables. The cost of electrolysis is also coming down, so over-capacity on the load side is also viable. It may even be possible to store some of the hydrogen, and feed it back into existing gas peaker plants (expensive, but should only rarely be needed)

People who say we require nuclear (I'm not against it, just skeptical of the claim that we require it, or that it makes economic sense), rarely seems to keep the big picture in mind. CO2-emissions is about far more than electricity production, and most of the required solutions will inherently add energy storage or load balancing capability (since that's part of the reason we use fossil fuels: they help us store energy for when we need it)
Isn't a very similar EU regulation already well beyond the proposal stage at this point and is currently getting implemented? If that's actually the case, I don't see how it wouldn't make it to the US once the systems needed are already available. Unless the alcohol interlock system/drowsiness detection isn't a type of killswitch, though from what I understand that's pretty much what's being proposed in the US.

> Summary

All new vehicles sold from May 2022 must be fitted with advanced safety features, including:

monitors that detect when a driver has become drowsy or distracted

emergency stop signal to help prevent rear-end collisions

rear-view camera or parking sensors

alcohol interlock system to prevent drunk driving.

These systems will help reduce serious accidents on Europe’s roads.

This initiative sets out the test procedures and technical requirements for approving vehicles fitted with advanced safety features.

Tried the Android version here in the Netherlands where there's an extensive open API for public transport (https://www.openov.nl/, providing live delays and schedule shifts for almost any stop out there).

It suggested such wonderful trips like "just run the entire way at about 72 km/h", "take the bus to Germany, wait for twelve hours, then go back by bus and walk the rest of the way there", and "take the train in the right direction, then switch to the hour long bus ride that leaves at the same time as the train ride but takes three times as long".

I appreciate the attempt here, but there seems to he a big focus on German public transit so I probably wouldn't use it outside Germany. Hopefully there are some public transit fans out there that wouldn't mind giving my local regional routes a bit of a polish one day, because the suggestions it gives me right now are just plain comical.
The amount of fans with a credit card and/or a paypal account will dwarf the amount of fans with a crypto wallet. This means that unless you target a very specific audience where you could expect that many of them have a crypto wallet, you will likely get a larger amount of donations if you go the paypal/stripe way than if you go the crypto way.

It's not like cryptocurrencies don't take a cut (in the larger coins, transaction fees are often higher than the amount of money most fans would like to donate) or sell your data (usually not the coin devs themselves, but there are definitely companies/exchanges out there correlating transactions and selling data about them). Stripe and Paypal might not be great, but just because crypto is "not Paypal" does not make crypto automatically trustworthy.

It might just be me but I genuinely never liked the by now archaic design, instead it's always been about how the culture and community was very vibrant and different (talking about anime on 4chan vs a dedicated fan forum) each time.

In fact if I really were to be nostalgic with web design it would have to be the successor to simple web when every website was unique in its design (there were some fads like the website should look like an early dnb CD cover with really small text).

100%. People I know here at a T-20 Southern California school just cheated their way through classes, just grinded leetcode through university and have high paying FAANG jobs. It's just a matter of what you want from an university education and why you want a degree tbh.
> So rates get pegged below the natural rate of interest (which equilibrates supply of savings with demand for productive investment)

But the only body even attempting to determine what "productive investment" is and respond to it is the Fed. Savers are interested in money returns or at least preserving their holding which in many feasible circumstances (chronic instability, zero sum economies with fixed currency supply) is most reliably achieved by not investing in anything productive, not whether their investment makes optimal use of a country's productive capacity. There's nothing more "natural" about production decisions taking the spot price of a commodity the monetary authority has designated as money, or an arbitrary growth rate for money, or how badly undercapitalised wildcat banks are as inputs, and there's nothing about a regime not trying to avoid bubbles or busts that makes it inherently less likely to result in them.
Recently an article on Bambi and how different the Disney version is hit the front page.

And now this, makes me wonder who the audience of early Disney movies was.

Sure they’ve watered down both Bambi and Pinocchio, but they couldn’t have had young children in mind when they decided to adapt such stories.
> This should work on other FIDO keys like Google's Titan, but we don't have access to one over here and as such haven't tested it.

For my trusty HyperFIDO Mini (usb id 0x2ccf:0x0880) this doesn't work, though it's rather old (1st gen) and maybe they refreshed it to support this. ssh-keygen fails with "Key enrollment failed: requested feature not supported". I wanted to replace it with a USB-C (& maybe NFC) device anyway, so seems like a good opportunity.
How accessible is it? I had trouble deleting the prefilled values with a keyboard.
Which raises the question of whether using hot water from the water heater (at least as a starting point) would provide a net savings. It's not as if the dishwasher hoards very much water for a load.

> Discord also has its own styles of memes

I think you're misattributing the medium to the.. dunno, zeitgeist? of communications.

As the servers/communities are so closed off (relatively, compared to other things) I don't think the comparison to reddit stands. I'm on several gaming discords and even they're varying so much, the only overlap is general memes. I've not stumbled over any sort of discord-'in'-language. On reddit you have upvotes or copypastas or cake days or whatever, but as others have said, Discord is more like email - not even like IRC with some of its oddities.
Not likely, but I don't have US stats.

Usually, the numbers you get are installed capacity. They aren't really helpful, because renewables load factor is significantly lower than other energies.

That being said, even factoring that out and relying on demand fulfilled instead, a renewables+gas system still usually sources most of its energy from renewables. If you see a system where most of the power comes from fossil fuel, that means renewables aren't dimensioned to service all the power needs.
I think just wiping the fees/charges off commuting would be a good start. PT / Fuel costs are still a thing as they continue to increase. Not everyone is using EV. Yet.
She got captured by her own success: after she got successful, CEOs of crappy companies, like Teladoc (number 1 position in their genetics ETF) started to approach her team directly and the days of using open data for evaluating stocks was over. At this point ARK invest is looked upon as an exit strategy for startups instead of making profit.

Any sane person knows that Teladoc has no experience in genetic therapeutics (unlike BEAM for example, which has a chance of fixing genetic mutations without a double stranded break...I call that disruptive innovation).
> blatant securities fraud(s)

Yeah, a dispute with the SEC about the meaning of a twit is much more important for the world then the millions of children breathing unhealthy air.

Really details of security law that basically hurt nobody except some short term traders as most really is the most important thing in the world.

Seems like that is for the costumer to decide and they were happy and even want to extend the system. But I guess twitters opinion

Talking about something you like is not illegal. In fact by just mentioning dogecoin you made it more famous and pumped it.

Unless you can prove pump-and-dump scheme its totally irrelevant.

You mean the index where oil companies are ESG compliant and Tesla isn't. Yeah that really is far more important then lying millions of cars gas output. Like, why would you even care about that?
Show HN: Top Links from Hacker News, Reddit, Techmeme, PH on a Single Page
Hi HN, this is something I created for my personal use and I have been using it daily for a long time now. It’s a page that shows top 25 links from the sources mentioned in the title. Updates every 10 minutes through a cron job and new links are always added to the top.

Some more details: It’s using simple heuristics like minimum upvotes/comments to select the links. For techmeme, only the first headline on techmeme.com is considered a top link. For reddit, currently fetching content from only a select few subreddits.

It’s just a simple page. No ad. No tracking. It’s the first tab I open in the morning. Suggestions and feedback are welcome. :)
It might later pay you back what you spent monetarily, but the inconvenience is not merely financial. It seems crazy that I'm having to argue that locks and insurance are not interchangeable.
I think people are very harsh on Cathie Wood. At the end of the day it is an ETF fund. She sets the % holdings and that's it. It trades by itself every millisecond of every day to maintain those allocated %s. Of course it will rise and fall with the market, as it has done. Pretty much every tech/growth focused fund has done the same thing over the last two years.

It is very telling when people start writing "career obituaries" like this just because a stock is 50-70% down. What is it that Warren once said: If you can't stand your stock pick being 50% down then you shouldn't be doing stocks?

The macroeconomics is clear. Depopulation and digitisation are the major trends that will define the coming decades. If you're -50+% down on your tech/growth picks right now. It may be 1000%+ (gains) by the time you actually want to draw-down your investment during, say, retirement.
Yes. A lot of it has been burned (sent to nonfunctional addresses), for example.
Here is it:

Just check how many RAM they have, how many disk slots and what is their connector (SATA/SAS).
Look, this is really a pathetic line of argument. If you’re selling self-help books, sure go ahead.

This discussion is about minimum wage, wealth gaps, and relative compensation of CEOs. You do realise that? If you think everything is perfect, feel free to ignore such threads. The status quo exists and doesn’t need your support.

Saying that working class people can just work harder and get higher paying jobs, doesn’t solve anyone’s problem. In fact, it only furthers the problem that only some jobs get a living wage, and even fewer jobs get a good wage.

I have no idea why you think it’s okay to tell poor people to “just improve their situation”, and contribute both their/our tax money towards enriching the wealthy.
The crypto ethos is antithetical to that of non-commercial content creators - putting a crypto wallet address on a website is like putting a big banner saying "I'm helping legitimise an environment destroying pyramid scheme to enrich myself, and I'm probably into lots of other shady stuff too", which might be fine for venture capitalists and their like, but not non-commercial content creators. Putting a donation link to something like ko-fi.com on the other hand is a better look for that sort of site.
A whole new encryption scheme that will change my world. I’ll share it here when it’s polished up.

It allows you to encrypt anything and can be decrypted by anyone after a certain point in the future has passed. It uses the new NMA announcements (signed timestamps) from the Galileo GPS satellites to “prove” the time has passed and generate the decryption key.
Interesting to see the difference between Belgium and the Netherlands. I usually pretty much group them together in my head but here they're at extremes
These are nothing like the same. These are private equity funds. Cathie Wood is just a publicly traded ETF. It only trades public stocks.
Yet if Prolific support the fakes, they end up wasting time and money trying to provide tech support to people experiencing issues with fakes, or having hostile customers trying to get refunds on fakes from Prolific.

The better option is to find ways to ensure you are buying legitimate items, such as avoiding Amazon, eBay, AliBaba, etc.
"We'll be there soon" : Germany for 20 years

Due to the gas issue with Russia Germany is planning to re-commission 15 coal plants, that's 10GW of capacity. 20 years ago, Germany had roughly... 10GW of nuclear, now decommissioned.

Source: https://www.montelnews.com/news/1323149/germany-may-allow-re...

But again, let's repeat all together "lets overbuild renewable capacity, non-proved large scaled battery storage, a lot of smart-grid and some hydrogen storage".

The biggest world hydrogen tank, the one used by the NASA, can power-up an average natural-gas station for roughly half a day. But hydrogen is the future for sure!

Technosolusionism is actually one of the biggest problem we have. You want to solve this CO2 issue, first reduce your consumption by at least 80% to reach Paris Agreement.

But don't worry, if we're not doing it by will, the laws of physics and thermodynamic will do it by force ;)
