You can. I've done that with Audible in order to make cash purchases. With that said, the app has taken a hit since it's clearly optimized for its primary installation target. I can technically purchase through the app, but prices are buried and sections like "deal of the day" have been removed entirely.

Strangely, even though I installed the app through the Amazon App Store, the Google Play Store will overwrite it when an update is available. And then I'm back to a version that can't make cash purchases. It took me a little while to figure out what was going on there. The solution was to disable auto-updates for the Audible app from my Google Play Store account. But, why is Google replacing an application installed by a different source in the first place?
worth noting that the electric F-150 does not use a heat pump yet for some reason so cold weather performance will probably be poor.

I'm not sure why anyone is making EVs without heat pumps - that is something Tesla pioneered years ago - and seems to be the obvious route to take for heating.

I can see agricultural land going down even further in the future as techniques, incentives, and people dynamics change.

How much of what we farm is really just 'superficial agriculture' and not 'survival-driven agriculture'?

For example: gigantic monoculture fields of corn in the midwest US, groves of almonds and grazing crops in California, huge amounts of grasslands for beef. (I'm sure there's more examples too)

It just seems like many of the ways agriculture operates doesn't make sense from a needs-based perspective and certainly not from a nature-enhancement perspective either. Farmers just do their job of growing, and then money does its job of convincing.

There are some very intriguing links between the Mittani and the Indo-Aryans. There are very similar words in Mittani and Sanskrit. It would be interesting if some of these clay tablets provided more background on this link.
I don’t think that your statement about Great Britain is correct. If so much land were devoted to agriculture in the Middle Ages, there wouldn’t have been much of the forests left to devote to shipbuilding during the early–middle modern period.

It is true that some land that is now urban or used for grazing was more once intensively farmed (especially eg in the highlands where most agriculture is sheep farming). But I think the amount of land devoted to crops, and certainly the kind of intensive growing that leaves little room for wildlife is a more modern invention.

I would guess that land devoted to agriculture (maybe except for some kinds of grazing) probably peaked in the 20th century, perhaps during or shortly after the war when food imports were harder to come by.

It is cheap way to get badly tasting vegetables. There is real, huge noticeable difference between tomatoes raised via hydroponics and not. Unless they manage to make them super packed with nutrients, which they are definitely not, there is zero reason to eat them.
I think there's a certain limit where the line losses just from the resistance of the wire would be greater than the dissipation losses from converting the electricity into microwave radiation and reconverting it on the receiving end.

Then again, if we had that technology available then it would make the most sense to have solar panel satellites beaming their acquired energy down to receiver stations rather than generating it on earth and sending it elsewhere.

I wonder how much London, New York, LA, or Dubai would pay for electricity that also cuts 1% of the sunlight overhead while it is being generated, making the weather cooler and decreasing the amount of electricity needed in the process?
That is a fault of imagination ;) Think "processed oil refinery sludge" or some other such industrial horror.

>Healthy soil can be cultivated at scale, so if quality is the top priority that's not an issue.

The larger issue is that consumers have no way of assessing the nutritional value of the items they're purchasing at the point of purchase. Cost is mediated on the basis of weight, which results in water-rich, nutrient poor, taste-poor produce. Saline injection into meat is another similar issue.

How do we make growing nutritional food profitable? Foods that can be sold on the basis of nutrient specific benefits, like Golden Rice or Vitamn D enriched milk can be marketed and sold on that basis, but comparing two beefsteak tomatoes grown in differing soils is not possible at present at the point of sale.

Typical food certification strategies, such as Organic, DOP, AOC, and other regional growth indicators don't seem to fit the bill. It's also unclear whether or not there is a market for inspections on the basis of nutritional value - from an organizational standpoint, it shouldn't be too difficult to have an inspector randomly audit crops and send samples to a lab to be HPLC or Mass Spec'd, but whether or not another certification mark changes buying patterns is unclear.
On average, things like map apps aren't used anywhere near as frequently as web browsers, especially if you include webviews in apps. The browser eating your battery for lunch has the potential of being device-ruining levels of bad.

For M-series Macs, this is somewhat mitigated by the sheer size of the batteries those have – even if Chrome docks your battery life by a few hours you're still looking at a full work day without having to plug in. That's a lot less true for phones, especially for smaller models like the iPhone SE and iPhone Mini, which can be taken from manageable to untenable by a frequently used battery hog.

Okay I think I understand better. When I was a student the student health fee you were told was not insurance and compulsory. You could get insurance through the school for $1200/semester. This was mainly international, grad students and their families.

Like many first in their family college students I soon discovered a lot of scholarships only covered tuition (and books) and I was left to make up the difference in housing, meals, and fees. I felt the fees were a sly way for the college to scam money out of students. I was required to pay an athletic fee but they weren't required to give me tickets to every football game.

For schools, MBA programs are such a money pump if they were entitled to charge more they would. A lot cases the employer pays for the MBA program and they don't have the wherewithal to scrutinize excess fees. So, you end up with online students paying student health, rec, bus, and athletic fees.

The documentation is a big point, but to me, two other points are just as important, maybe (probably) more so:

1. The standard library is very good in the sense it covers a fairly wide range of areas and gives you some idea of how to use Go idiomatically (I feel this is more important in Go than in other languages I've used).

2. The language just feels right to me. I have not met any other language that feels like it was optimized for my brain that well. I recently made an attempt at learning Rust, and I kind of got it, but I eventually gave up because the benefits did not seem worth it to me in light of the steep learning curve. Go just clicks with me. It's not the best language ever by whatever metric you choose, but for my needs, it is the right language.
I’m a homosexual. Living in cities provides a network and security that living in more remote and rural places does not. One day (hopefully) cultural circumstances will change and I can avail myself of the benefits you mentioned, but at present living in culturally unpredictable places is simply a gamble whose return is not worth the roll.

Yes, and? Ukraine isn't going to be part of NATO, Zelensky already conceded and it's not even possible with a conflict in the country. So that mission is accomplished and is not the actual reason for the continuation of the war, as I said.
They both have good patches of documentation and bad ones. They're both better documented than, say, Ruby. Go has multiple edges, not just simplicity, but also a larger user base. You couldn't reasonably disqualify either language basd on their documentation. Certainly, Go is easier to pick up than Rust, but nobody's arguing that.
That’s what the grandparent comment said, what specifically do you find wrong with the UI? I for one really enjoy it and the keyboard shortcuts.
Can someone explain in layman terms what Rocket.Chat is? Is it a Matrix client like Element? Is it a protocol?
> Hopefully AMD gets the Rx 6800xt working with ROCm consistently

I am a maintainer for rocSOLVER (the ROCm LAPACK implementation) and I personally own an RX 6800 XT. It is very similar to the officially supported W6800. Are there any specific issues you're concerned about?

I know the software and I have the hardware. I'd be happy to help track down any issues.
That's pretty much precisely what this is, with 10 heads visible (there are several other banks of cabinets), each of which can address, erm, access, only a fixed set of storage (a 20w x 25h bank of drawers).

Or what would happen if the data required reindexing or sorting.
There are multiple chat clients that support Matrix already [1], Element is just one of them. Separation of concerns is a good thing as products mature

Of the 26 million acres of farmland operated in Iowa, 152,000 acres are irrigated or 0.58% (2015). Municipal, industrial, etc. water is quite often groundwater, but the farmland is 99.5% not irrigated at all.
I think this is more likely caused by grad school being a poor investment for the average American but a great investment for a foreign student looking to get a job in America.
Unfortunately Firefly is not really a double-entry bookkeeping system. There is a differentiation between source and destination accounts (called expense and revenue) which makes reverse transactions a pain. I pay 100€ for furniture in May and return it in July. Now I can either create the furniture store as both source and destination account or delete the first entry. Both is equally bad in my opinion.
I think a much better solution would be to differentiate between my accounts and 3rd party accounts.

Also, what I was struggeling with (and not only in Firefly, but all budgeting apps) was the sometimes significant delay between the purchase and the bank transaction. In addition there is the issue with split transactions from imported transactions. Basically manual data entry is too much work and automated data entry is too faulty. I roughly sketched a process in my head which could solve that.

It basically disinguishes between manually added information and bank information. Both is stored and then combined to one transaction. This closes the gap between the bank domain and the "user domain".

1. Let the importer bring in all the bank transactions with the date, the transaction is executed. Display on the right.

2. On the left there are manually entered transactions, possibly with split transactions.

3. Now you make matches.

4. If there is no manual entry, you can add some information like splitting the transaction, add a date you did the purchase, etc. by clicking on the bank transaction.

5. All the above could be automated by rules. Like making matches, giving it a pretty name, assigning a category, etc.

6. Last step: Manually sign off all the matches. If a time period has only signed off transactions it gets a "true" designation otherwise a "preliminary".

Happy to hear about your thoughts on that!

My anecdotal reasoning is weed outside of states is generally of a lower quality and expensive, and doesn’t burn evenly. Tobacco helps with that and also created a unique high combining nicotine with THC.
Normally I might agree with you, but after dealing with this landlord for six months...I don't think that a charitable interpretation is warranted. I won't bother going into details, but there have been no violations on my part, and I can't say the same for them.
I was told by London youth in the 90's that the reason they mixed in this fashion is that weed in Europe was often only available processed into hash-hish to be compact for micro-smugglers so it was easier to have a consistent level with very inconsistent supply potency by varying the amount of tobacco.

Success begets success: what are the basic heuristics of success?
Is success really complicated as gurus, experts, and influencers want us to believe?

How can the wisdom of the HN crowd unpack the algorithm for success?

I'll start (Cunningham's Law):

- Set a directional goal, the vision.

- Start taking the first step.

- Improve 1% per day.

- Compare where you are today to where you were yesterday, that's the one and only measure.

- Expect failures and setbacks along the way.

- Celebrate showing up each and every day.

- Collect knowledge and friends along the way.

- Keep on going and don't stop.

The end: the process is the goal.

Supersonic flight has superlinearly more drag than subsonic flight. IIRC, n^4 or n^5, while drag was normally n^2 kinda thing at subsonic speeds.

Concorde was progress, but backwards progress in terms of what matters in terms of global warming (etc. etc.)

You can reduce some drag by flying higher (thinner air, less drag effects), but that also requires more fuel to reach higher into the atmosphere. So its just inefficient all around.

If it is truly the case that the second envelope has equal probability of having half or double the amount of money as the first, then you can prove that the probability distribution of money in each envelope is not well-formed (has total mass either zero or infinity). This means the premise is already contradictory, and further false conclusions (such as "P and not-P" for P="it is better to switch") are not surprising.

I've been donating to SomaFM for many years, and it is my music provider of choice in my home office (Space Station Soma for me). Some years ago I had an afternoon to kill while visiting San Francisco and Rusty was kind enough to let me stop by and say hello. A quick 10 minute visit turned into one of the most interesting two hours I've spent in my entire life. Rusty gave me the whole tour of the software interface that runs SomaFM and we had a fascinating discussion about the history of SomaFM in particular and streaming music in general. Thanks again Rusty!
I think there's another big reason: simplicity. The language spec is very short and readable, and there are very few concepts to learn to be productive with it. Compared to most other popular general purpose languages, this is a refreshing–if at times frustrating–quality to have.

Rocket.Chat is basically selfhosted slack.

They now have a feature where it can federate with matrix. This means rocketchat users on your rocketchat instance can talk to matrix users on a federated matrix network if you enable it.

This means you could use the Rocket.chat server and Rocket.chat UI as an alternative to a homeserver + matrix client.

I don't believe this allows using a matrix client to connect to rocket.chat server's directly or vice versa.
Very cool. Are you planning on developing any of the hobby into a commercial enterprise, or do you already?

> when the profit mechanism itself is the cause for most externalities.

I was pretty clear.

I'll break it down for you though! I have costs, and I have sales. sales - costs = margin (or, profit). If my sales are steady, what's a good method of increasing margin? Reducing costs! How is this generally accomplished? By making some other sap pay for them: externalizing my costs.

The profit mechanism actively incentivizes externalities. This is plain fact, and there's nothing "clearly false" about it. Our economic system encourages externalities, and then builds enormous state apparatuses to quell the effects. You're free to ignore the facts, though.

> What is communism’s record on environmental protection?

How is this relevant? And why is state planning the only solution in people's minds to replacing capitalist markets? There's more than either/or here.

> HUMANS aren’t good at understanding externalities.

We understand them fine. We're being literally paid to create them, though.

> which is why we have regulation.

Yeah, that's working great so far!

We know it could have been a big problem by the small things that got omitted and became problems.

You can argue that we didn’t need to pump hundreds of millions into it; but it is a fact that there would have been a crisis had it not been actively averted.

The same issue exists now with 2048 and we’re already seeing problems (on things that date far into the future) and we will likely need to expend effort and energy in avoiding this issue: especially on embedded devices.

If you’re denying that there would have been a problem then I’m afraid you’re simply mistaken.

I think the assumption that "for all x, p(x) = p(2x)" implies a uniform distribution on the natural numbers.

Imagine we have a distribution that satisfies that assumption, and then someone tells you they've sampled from that distribution and found that the result is of the form (say) 7*2^k, for some k > 0. That conditional distribution for k would seem to have to be uniform, right?

Honestly, for this specific case, I prefer one_or_none() to return an iterable with zero or one items, and then just doing:

for foo in one_or_none():
do_stuff(foo)

If you don't control one_or_none, but it returns an Optional, you can wrap it with something like:

def optional_to_tuple(opt_val: Optional[T]) -> Tuple[]|Tuple[T]:
return (opt_val,) if opt_val is not None else ()
I suspect the market is different enough to matter. Rocket.Chat caters heavily to the Slack/Teams-type business chat. Federation to it likely often means federating with partner businesses also using Rocket.Chat.

Element targets individuals participating largely in public chat rooms, I suspect it's design will remain significantly different for that reason.

Different apps with different purposes, but compatible.
