As per the headline, it's "long-duration storage" meaning that you can potentially wait a while (days, weeks) before that discharge of stored energy.

From the article: "many hours up to many days"

> "Long term energy storage", to me, should be defined as being able to discharge at max power for like a day or more,

"Long term money storage" should be defined as storing more than $10 000 - yes, no, or irrelevant?
I know, right? :)
>And why would immigrants have lower life-expectancy (in reply to comment about immigrants of low socio-economic status)

So lets phrase that taking into context in which the question was asked:

And why would immigrants of low socio-economic status have lower life-expectancy in a nation where those where of low socio-economic status have lower life expectancy?

The question is self answering.

> Where's a profit in cheap housing/low rents?

1. The size of the housing problem grossly outsizes the budget of the public sector. Its not even close - this problem can only be addressed through private capital.
2. Private capital will only build things that are profitable with a comfortable margin considering unexpected costs and other, possibly more efficient allocations of the same capital.
3. Every regulation/requirement you throw at housing developers increases the minimum cost of new housing. As it currently stands, its mostly a physical impossibility to build middle class housing in SF profitably given existing requirements (which effectively add a couple hundred thousand to each unit). This means that no middle class housing will be built.

If you want more affordable housing, you fundamentally need to change the incentive to build affordable housing. You can't do this and chase off developers at the same time.
I’m very happy with MySQL currently. I started using it because AWS Aurora supports it a bit better than postgres. I haven’t had any regrets since.

It’s great when you just want simple relational storage without a lot of features or ceremony, but need a bit more than SQLite. It’s fast, predictable, and gets the job done.

Postgres is great too and offers more, but sometimes that can tempt you to try to do too much in the DB layer.
I never understood people who are in such a rush not to survey whats available.
Makes sense. You've got no grounds nor successfull predictions done in the past.
Right, the associated talking point is that it might be impossible to replace the worlds cars fast enough to reduce the emissions in the next 5 years. Also some people think battery production will hit a hard limit because of resources. I can’t judge 100% but I have a personal opinion on those points.
Kiwi browser is basically chrome but with full extension/dev tools support. Nothing custom, all stock chrome. But I know the devs behind that browser rely on data collection themselves, so it's less than ideal (you can I think turn all of that off but I'm not sure). But it shows that it is possible to have full add-on support on mobile chromium. Especially considering Kiwi was developed by a single dev initially.

Most open source chromium forks on Android don't have add-ons though, so kiwi is the best option. I guess it's usually because those forks are usually very privacy centric so add-on support is far from a priority. Kiwi on the other hand is basically stock desktop chrome

ISO to me seems like an absolute nightterror of an organization. The Main-Moderator of https://old.reddit.com/r/iso9001 runs a blog here:

https://www.oxebridge.com/emma/latest-blog-posts/

And almost every time I read anything from there, I just… Ugh. I don't even know where to start with describing the extent of just how much of a shitshow ISO represents.

Edit, perhaps like this:

After for many years intensely thinking about the organizational problems involved, I've come to a conclusion which seems rather very absurd to me:

ISO could only deteriorate to this degree because of two things:

1. An absurd number of decades-long-standing bugs in Microsoft Word's Master Documents feature: http://www.addbalance.com/word/MasterDocHudson.htm.
This tacitly yet tremendously increases the organisational costs of writing policy, process documentation, work instructions, &c. documents in a truly fully standardized manner (don't even get me started about ISO authoring tools, especially not about their internal ones. Microsoft Word Wizard .wiz files. I almost fell from my seat when I originally learned of that.); many of those working in pure IT organisations fail to realize this because there exist a lot of workarounds implementable when one has a large tech-affine workforce, but these workarounds don't work in large traditional enterprises. Some of those have invested in workarounds—most haven't, think they couldn't, and thus won't.

2. A feature parity gap in the file save dialog behaviors of Microsoft Excel (Filename suggestion doesN'T get pre-populated based on Document Title file metadata field) when compared to those of Microsoft Word (Filename suggestion DOES get pre-populated based on Document Title file metadata field). This makes semverdoc.org enforcement impossible in large organisations still stuck in e-mail–as–version–control–for–Microsoft–Excel–land, i.e. the majority of them, and There no replacement exists for Microsoft Excel in most large enterprises.

Everything else seems like it just mostly comes down to sociopaths hiding behind cluelessly middle-managed misunderstandings.

And the really sad thing:

If said sociopaths really grok'd all of this, they'd probably do their damnest to undo this middle management incompetency compensation competence failure, because while it might seem like this ends up profiting /someone/, it actually does seem like it actually represents one of those rather very rare true loss–loss–loss scenarios.

Come to think of it, see also:

Okay, thank you guys. I think it's quite hard to estimate, weather using it is a good idea, ux/cost ratio wise.
> So, Middle Earth had coal, but did it need coal? I don’t think so.

The author focuses on energy sources for machine power. But what about generating high heat for metallurgy? Coal burns longer and hotter than wood, and releases fewer particulates. Also coal is more energy dense than wood, making it easier to transport.
> But I have a hard time believing all black market guns, or even the majority, are stolen from residences.

Many are likely stolen from cars. Leaving a gun in the glove compartment isn't terribly uncommon in America, nor are car break-ins.
In most countries in the world, $4K charge is absolutely not negligible.
Huh. I wonder if that CO2 gets released.
> Helping other people instead of doing their assigned tasks

Hehe, that's totally me. That one is really hard, though, because it's also arguably my job. Keeping other people unblocked is the best way to accelerate the team's overall output.
They think that is the thing Americans are going to get offended about? Come on, now. We're WAY crazier than that.
The game's troubled development is probably documented better than the Titanic by now, but FWIW there were a number of points in development where the final product was playable, but didn't get out to store shelves for one reason or another. A few leaks of those various builds actually surfaced recently, and a lot of people found pretty reasonable grounds for the game's development restarting. One of the alpha builds even used straight-up porn as a placeholder texture... I empathize with the project manager(s) of Duke Nukem Forever.
> hence why RBR's win last year is considered to be a fluke, and likely a form of cheating if some are to believed: I don't know the full details just the clips

Considered by whom? I follow the sport and I don't have any idea what you're talking about. The last real instance of a serious rule infraction (let's ignore the Racing Point "pink Mercedes" nonsense) involved the 2019 Ferrari power unit, which started out stronger than everyone else but mysteriously lost some power after the FIA scrutinized it and issued updated guidance regarding fuel flow regulations (and settled with Ferrari on the matter secretly).

The only thing about last year that was a "fluke" was the way the final race was officiated.

> I don't doubt the prowess of either when it comes to designing cars or bikes, that much is clear and the work speaks for itself; where I fail to give them praise is in understanding that they simply cannot put themselves outside of the engineering domain and realize that the total package of how a chassis is developed must be tailored to suit the pilot if it is to win consistently.

Red Bull seem to have done this particularly well with this year's car. After Ricciardo left, they suffered years of Max being trailed distantly by his teammate, but Perez is a legitimate championship contender this year (whether Red Bull management truly want that or not). More to the point, the car is not only faster but a lot more drivable than that of their main rival, Mercedes. When it comes to tailoring a car to its pilots, what more could you want?

Nah - he calls himself a gnostic christian. From what I've read (he has a bit of a history in the news), he draws his beliefs from the gnostic gospels more than from the Bible. He's religious but not Christian in any conventional sense.
I've suspected that the next place cryptocurrencies will see usage for actual consumer payments will be porn. It makes so much more sense than going through the suffocating mastercard/visa networks, and porn has historically been one of the industries most willing to try new technology.
Another angle is unbounded horizontal scalability across tenants. If your application can be divided cleanly between different customers and one customer can be served with one instance (see "How many more users could you support if the amount of time you had to await IO for each was reduced by ~2 orders of magnitude?") then scaling to more customers is extremely simple and linear.
It doesn't block Microsoft trackers due to a search deal:

> CO2 to methanol is energetically uphill. This is going to take energy to do. A lot of energy.

What if we use "free" solar energy for this. This could also be a carbon sequestration technique. It might not make sense now, but 20 years down the line - when most power generation is green except jet fuels, ships and reserve gasoline to electric generators.

Bottomline, it could accelerate the shuttering down of oil wells 20 years from now.
> A question for those of you still using vim. Why do you use it over Neovim (if you have heard of it)?

Vim has a minimal set which you can install.

Lua is a red flag. My editor shall not have any dependencies. Especially those who can give strange errors and you cannot fix them because " lua has its own build system".

Yep, Ron said it was in development for some time before the April 1st announcement.
Are you saying nobody should be regulating it?
The 65816 has stack-relative addressing, and a relocatable direct page which can act as a sort of frame pointer, but it's still a far cry from being compiler-friendly. Severe annoyances include the painful lack of registers, having 8 and 16 bit be a global mode switch instead of just specifying the size in the instruction, lack of a barrel shifter, and the near/far pointer distinction. There's a reason why there have never been successful ports of GCC or LLVM to that architecture, even out of tree.

That makes me chuckle that they use CO2.

It would look like a good idea only if they somehow compel their customers to buy only CO2 coming from a direct-air-capture facility.

Or even better, if they attach a small direct-air-capture device to their "bubble". (it would not need to be extremely efficient, as I understand that the CO2 is then captive of the storage [I'd add... in a normal operation mode... because we never know what can happen with incidents and that's why I push for DAC before it's too late and it's already everywhere])
Even when you express it clearly, many juniors won't understand and will feel frustrated. Some things can't be taught and must be experienced. Every junior developer must work on a crufty legacy codebase to develop understanding and habits for writing maintainable code.

Large companies pick experienced internal transfers for shiny new projects and hire externally for unglamorous legacy systems. Since all new grads are external hires, they end up starting out on legacy systems.

I recommend that junior devs start out at Amazon. They will learn a lot of important things in a year or two: the pain of technical debt, the value of automated tests, the pain of production issues when you're on call, that working overtime is not rewarded and does not solve job insecurity, and that switching companies is a great way to get more experience and earn more money.
Highly recommend his blog [1] - where he often writes bite-sized math-y articles. I have personally benefited from it; I was looking for ways to sample quickly from a mixture of Beta distributions when I stumbled upon his post on the Kumaraswamy distribution [2], which takes on Beta-like shapes but has a closed form expression for the cumulative distribution function (CDF). The latter property makes generating samples from it convenient and fast.

This is literally not true and specifically not true when that house was acquired by one partner before marriage.
For those confused by the title, here's what's going on ...

Mastercard/Visa are required by law to not knowingly allow the purchase of illegal goods/services (they can't facilitate the payment of illegal activites).

As such, they require such websites (merchants) to prove that individuals in such videos are of legal age (no minors in the videos, because if so - that's illegal and horrible).

This seems totally fair, commendable and hard to disagree with - if you ask me.
Ask HN: Who Votes on New Submissions?
I have been using HN for a while now. I always check the top posts only, looking at the new submissions doesn’t seem worth it because most of them won’t be interesting.. But for HN to work someone must be going through all that noise early on and upvoting the good ones.

How many of you are doing that? Why? And, thank you whoever you are!
How should I go about disproving to myself that my memory is accurate and I am in conscious control of my actions? I hear it said, but every time I call upon my memory of something long ago that is externally verifiable, I am pretty much always accurate (either I get it right, or realize I don't know).
I'm on board with 'naïve realism' as a concept, the tendency to attribute rationality to people one agrees with and irrationality and bias to everyone else seems natural and obvious.

However I'm not sure how they're trying to apply this idea to solve conflict or 'political fractures'. It just sounds like.. marginally less naïve realism? The conclusion shouldn't be that we teach people about naïve realism and then we will solve our problems, I think the correct conclusion is that different people and groups can be entirely rational and also in fundamental opposition.

Rationality is instrumental. If two people start with different assumptions or in different places they can both be entirely reasonable and unbiased and also arrive at two very different points. Teaching them to recognize this rather than thinking the other side is delusional is fine, but it doesn't actually resolve any conflict.

It's naïve to think you're objectively right and everyone else isn't, but it's equally naïve to think being subjectively in disagreement is somehow less substantial. The "Golden rule" the authors provide in the end seems in fact to straight up contradict their diagnosis:

"Proceed from the naïve but charitable assumption that when people respond in ways that are surprising or offensive, it is generally their perceptions, assumptions, and construals, rather than their basic values, that differ from our own"

This is not charitable. If naïve realism is the problem then it is precisely our basic values in which we differ, not our perceptions or capacity to reason.
And what about the install script? That one is still failing.

You misunderstand math, the argument in math isn't "these axioms are true", but instead every paper goes "given these axioms, the following result can be derived". Mathematicians can all agree about the second, and then they agree to disagree about the axioms, and therefore reach maximal levels of consensus.

If politics was like that instead of the current "try to make the other side seem as different as possible to sway voters" then the world would be a much nicer place. People are too stupid to do that though, when they try they still fall for the fallacies mentioned in the article. Instead of just looking at how the different sides starts with different moral axioms they instead focus on how the derivative results differ and call the other side morally corrupt based on their derivative results being so far from what this side sees as optimal.

Firefox isn't Chrome that's not labeled Chrome, though. Less customization doesn't mean it's necessarily more Chrome-like, especially lately where Chrome's implementing things like tab groups and keeping more or less the same UI design. The new Firefox looks more Safari-ish than Chrome-ish. to me.
