Lithium seems like a bad fit all-around. Plus, just charging all those batteries would put a ton of local strain on the grid. I think this would be an ideal situation for liquid flow batteries. Those seem like only a matter of time, I don't think there is any chemistry /physics reasons preventing their commercial adoption, just engineering.
The V-1. The V-1 was a cruise missile with a pulsejet engine. The V-2 was a ballistic missile with a rocket engine.
"force browsers to use a CA they control" is an essential ingredient. The article you linked mentions they have performed some CA trickery but does not mention anything about them having done it "for decades" and does not indicate that it is a widespread phenomenon.

More explicitly: blocking individual YouTube videos requires control of the routers all traffic flows through AND control over the encryption of that traffic. If they cannot read the encrypted traffic then they do not know when a banned video is being watched. To date they have not exercised that level of control, they have not implemented a way of banning individual videos and it would be difficult for them to implement.
> so he has a Constitutional right to publish on GitHub.

No he doesn't, he's merely allowed to do what Github lets him do.

Anyway, this is getting rather silly, so I'll leave you with this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohDB5gbtaEQ.
So much for Apple being "environmentally friendly"...

As the saying goes, "reuse comes before recycle".
it's not binary. We'll likely start seeing hybrids that follow the cost curve down while scaling up battery capacity.
Obviously not…

You can’t possibly have a legal copy of the software without expressed permission of the author. They may not care who does what with it (IDK, implied permission?) but they could change their mind at any time and chose to enforce their copyright. Which also means first-sale doctrine doesn’t apply as there was no “first sale”.

I also “make copies for my own use” of TV shows, written things, &etc and don’t think anyone would claim that isn’t violating copyright law, especially the producers of said content. In fact, I know this to be true as they have sent me nastygrams via email before. Also, by your reasoning, any company, like a cloud service, could take any code they want as long as they weren’t committing acts of distribution and use it however they want. I think we all know this isn’t the way it works because the anti-cloud licenses which have become popular lately would mean absolutely nothing.

And fair use is not really applicable to the current discussion because statically linking a library without permission isn’t fair use.
Well, exactly
Is it possible your network disables multicast?

On a typical home network I've never really had any issues with mDNS. It works great on Mac and I've got it running fine on various bsd's and linux. I found mdnsd worked surprisingly well on FreeBSD, and took less configuration that Avahi. I will admit that windows doesn't seem to play that well with it.

I'm curious what you tried that didn't work.
Enjoy my brain.

They're aiming for the niche market that's slower than air freight but faster than displacement hull cargo ships. Not sure if that market is really large enough for a viable business, but we'll see.

Indexer for Solana ( Check comments)
Indexers are one of the most valuable feature for any Dapp application. Whether you are launching your in-app marketplace, building your storefront, or any Dapp around NFT, most probably you need to read NFT metadata and run query and search on them.

We are proud to bring this feature by default for Shyft API users. Use Shyft APIs to make your Dapp’s NFT queryable and searchable. We automatically Index NFT data in DB so that you can do the query and search on them and make your Dapp useful for your Users. Let's talk about if you need to build this feature in your Dapp.

If you want to DIY, get API key here https://shyft.to/get-api-key, and read the docs here https://docs.shyft.to/

Many ships already use wind power. I don't think you'd be able to harness the wind, convert it to electricity, and use the electricity more efficiently than a sail.

It's really bewildering when this happens. I've accidentally picked up food from one of these places and I nearly could not find it. It was a faceless nondescript commercial building that looked abandoned until I saw someone else walk out the door with their food order. Then I walked in and the place looked like some industrial building versus a restaurant. There was just cement floor in a small room, and I gave my order through a metal lined hole in the wall and they gave me my bag. Very oddly, in the background, I noticed Chic Fil A also being prepared in this ghost kitchen by people in tshirts. Such a strange concept. I made sure to never order food from a place that wasn't a brick and mortar again, and to call up restaurants directly.

Huh, I misunderstood the virtiofs mechanism.
Ask HN: Where in Bay Area are early stage startups and entrepreneurial ppl?
Where should I live in the "Bay Area" to be closest to the people who are working on early stage startups, or just be around people who are entrepreneurial minded?

I've only ever been there a couple of times, both times to the San Jose area for work. Most of the vibe I got was that it is mostly families and suburb, amidst a myriad of massive corporate campuses. Is this area mostly full of more mature, established companies?

Where can I find a big concentration of like-minded people and early stage startups? As for me I'm a software engineer professionally and I got excited about startups and the bay area after discovering some podcasts involving startup founders or VCs, or general business/interview discussions during the height of the pandemic. I'd definitely like to try this as the next challenge, more than continue to work at a big company.
HAXM isn't really that relevant anymore.

QEMU now directly supports using the HyperV hypervisor via the Windows Hypervisor Platform by using the "-accel whpx" option. This gives you the benefits of HAXM-like speeds in QEMU without needing to disable HyperV, WSL, and Docker. It also works on both AMD and Intel processors and supports nested virtualization.
Nice story. Thanks for sharing.
I'd be inclined to think it's simply an error if people didn't return to HN to post strikingly similar stories month after month. Meanwhile, I rarely hear of similar stories with AWS or Azure or IBM or any other similar service.
Yeah, lithium mining is not even in the same ballpark as bunker fuel used to power large cargo vessels.
265k sq ft of solar panels roughly reduces the amount of battery needed by 3% to go any given distance, his math says. It is unlikely this costs less than the 3% of battery reduced.

And of course, you can't readily make the whole upper surface of a container ship into panels, because cranes lift containers off the ship.
How many tons of earth need to be processed to end up with 80k tons of neodymium?
Indeed, I think this is a even more accurate characterization of how government actually works.
They always have relied on live performance (and to a greater extent, education). Talk to some professionals in the industry some time, they're not going to talk about records as a source of income.

I could write a ten page rant on why AI and automation aren't a threat to musicians but it basically boils down to the fact that music is a human spectacle and we will continue to grow the industry through performing live music much like a robot that can mimic Tom Brady isn't a threat to teams selling tickets to see Tom Brady play live and people to watch it on TV (which exists, by the way).

At the end of the day, technology that lowers the barrier to entry for records and distribution is a massive boon to the industry at all levels. The rising tide lifts all boats. The companies doing interesting things with AI in music aren't just generating old shit, they're making tools to give to the next generation of creators to create new shit that no training can replicate, because it has never been done.
Container ships don't, but eg. oil tankers do.

Much of the benefit of solar and batteries would be obviated by the need to propel their own bulk along though.
David Bohm is an interesting physicist, he often gets 'eggs' chucked at him for his Pilot Wave interpretation of QM but that shows he was a lateral thinker trying to find an explanation for one of physics' most intractable problems. But he was no lightweight either as we've seen with his work on the Aharonov–Bohm effect.

That said, I'm ashamed to say I've not had a copy of his book Quantum Theory in my hands. You're one of many I've seen mention it in recent times so I'll have to remedy that. :-)

Incidentally, I have read the original Aharonov–Bohm paper. Understanding that physics I reckon is crucial to getting a good handle on EM, potentials, etc.
I think the reality is it technically hits this legal grey area. The whole, dating for years and one kid turns 17 while the other is 16 (or whatever the boundary case may be)...this letter vs spirit of the law argument.

It is by definition distribution of this material and to have software edge-case exceptions allowing certain situations through is something I can't imagine anyone willing to sign their name to endorse.

It seems from a heartless management perspective that the simplest decision is to walk away from the whole situation, wash their hands of it, and accept this as collateral damage.
Wasn’t the whole point of Brexit to have less regulation on things like region of origin? British Fanny is just as good as continental Fanny, even if it isn’t as popular. It’s not “fake Fanny”, it just gets less exposure.
Thanks for your detailed notes, I’ll look through your links.

Just to clarify for context, the “letter” definition is only relevant for tags, so outside of #tags (in item descriptions, or group titles) you can use any Unicode character you want.

Yes, parsing sql is not straightforward as there are many dialects.

But the rest of the article is confusing. There’s not very many instances where someone needs to parse sql - there are ORM libraries that generate the relevant sql dialect. This has been the case since the early 2000s; see Hibernate. And for C#, there’s LINQ to SQL.

The last sentence then goes into the “sell”: if you need help parsing sql, contact us at xyz…
These huge ships should be nuclear powered like navy ships.
No, it's a container to put bread into. Usually with a sliding roller door type contraption like you might see on a garage door. They were often curved in a bullnose fashion, like the front of the origin C64. Which I guess is why they draw the comparison.
There also was automotive industry. Audi is originally from Zwickau. There was a BMW factory in Eisenach. Jena was a stronghold for optics and glass industry (luckily still is to a certain degree).
FEX decided to not support page sizes >4k, which is fair (it's a lot of work), but it means that it won't be usable on Apple silicon, so that's not an option.
Electrical engines are far simpler than internal combustion engines, so if anything this favors EE even more.
Container ships with cargo must be like 50x the weight per unit of crosss-section compared to large wooden frigates. Way too lazy to do the math but I’m sure you’d need outrageously tall masts and sails to get any significant speed.
[x]it! files are UTF-8 encoded by default. The predefined syntactical elements (such as checkboxes, priorities, or due dates) are composed from ASCII characters, but outside of that (e.g. in item descriptions) you can use all available Unicode characters without restriction.
The 12” MacBook was amazing?

It ran windows with battery life better than macOS. It was a solid form factor. Never over heated. Great for traveling with.

Rocket engine, turbojet, pulsejet, ramjet, scramjet.. I don't think missile implies a form of propulsion. Before WW2, both America and the UK experimented with propeller powered cruise missiles too.
You'd be surprised how many programs running on things that aren't web application servers which end up using relational queries.

I remember my first encounter with it under the hood. It was a huge list of all my location data stored on my early generation iphone, you had to pull some tricks to extract the file off of your phone and then boom I got a map of where I had been around 2009 better than even I remember it. I think there was a congressional hearing over this. Now they just store that stuff off of the device.
Immutable smart contracts on blockchains are available to anyone with the few dollars worth of ether or other base chain currency necessary to execute the contract on-chain. They do not cost anything to operate after being deployed. In that sense, Tornado Cash is a protocol, that has more in common with HTTPS than with a business operation. Smart contracts can be thought of as software-defined protocols. Given that HTTPS and other forms of encryption are used on the regular, for both good and nefarious purposes, I see no reasonable argument against mixers. There has to be a path for on-chain privacy. It is a human right. It's also a U.S. constitutionally protected 4th amendment human right.
There are massive ecological costs to extracting, processing and shipping even more massive quantities of dinosaur juice around the oceans, and they suffer "mishaps" quite frequently.
“Confidential Computing” is an up-and-coming model in which a user (e.g. cloud customer) trusts a hardware vendor (e.g. Intel, AMD, nVidia), and that vendor has a mechanism by which systems with their hardware can run user code and attest, remotely, to the user that the code has not been tampered with and that the system’s owner (e.g. Amazon) is not exfiltrating user data.

This could be used for DRM or nefarious purposes, but that’s not the point.

Obviously this is no more secure than the underlying hardware. All the attacks against SGX, for example, will still apply unless they are fixed.
There’s definitely some fun math party tricks in here if we can start with 1x cheaper = 0% cheaper.
Against Generality (2016)
I understand why some governments do such things for businesses but my situation was for an entrepreneur visa application, the cash had to be there for six months to simply begin the process, what happened to it afterwards was irrelevant, I could invest in Dutch tulips for all they cared.

Amusingly I was not even required to incorporate there to get the visa unless going into certain industries, was clear with them that domiciling in Singapore makes far more sense for a saas startup and they had no problem with that.
Honest question, where are we getting all the lithium for all these electric-powered vehicles? How many mines is this?
The 12” will be (in my personal memory) the best Apple product I have ever owned.
For me the pivotal point was when iPhone XS outperformed 7700K with number crunching. It was some weird benchmark and everyone could find issues with it. But it did show tremendous progress happened with mobile chips performance and desktop stagnation.

For a fair comparison, you'd have to know how big the engine and fuel tanks are in relation to the batteries and electric motors.
Yeah, put 100kg of high grade uranium or plutonium on a ship with 30 crew and sail it past somalia. Great plan. I mean assuming it gets there and doesn't melt down and contaminate an entire sea because of how well known the shipping industry is for not cutting corners. It'll also definitely not result in nuclear waste getting dumped wherever.

I mean there's at least a chance that the nuclear reactor which costs 10x as much as the proposed electric ship will get stolen wholesale and used for civilian purposes, so that could be an upside.
The technical bar was higher - the article itself had notable people seemingly proud of (with a little trauma?) getting their SLIP connections working. And how that itself seemed a step up towards greater access. Pretty sure namby pamby PPP was my first connection hehe
I wonder if building nuclear ships that float in international water could sidestep some of the NIMBY-ism for nuclear power. I think some company might have already pursued that approach.
I was actually wondering if they meant fusion.
Water is actually a very unusual substance in that it expands upon freezing. (Plutonium being another)

Most materials instead contract when freezing.
They could also redesign container ships to carry fewer containers. If automation can reduce the crew requirements and wind power can reduce the fuel consumption, a larger number of more efficient ships might be more viable than a small number of super transports.
I'm using node-red for this kind of things.
(running on an old samsung phone, using screen as a kind of dashboard)
in past I use ifttt for this kind ot things and one of the biggest downside of ifttt was with ifttt you can only use one trigger, like;

if bla bla - do bla bla, but in real life I need triggers be like;

if bla bla and if bla bla too - do bla bla
basically I'm talking about using more than one trigger or a combination of them.

(I'm not using ifttt anymore I guess they have a pro tier doing this)

some trigger ideas
- follower / unfollower based triggers (some kind of activity on follower count triggers the flow)

- threshold based triggers (more than x comment, more than x likes etc.)

- people based triggers (x people tweeted or x people commented)

- word or hashtag based triggers (someone tweeted about x)

And last, for me social media isn't enough for triggers. Maybe you can integrate not only social but some online services too like;

- telegram, discord

- google (mail, analytics, calendar, drive, forms)

- netflix (new episode of x or new movie by x)
Me too. You can't build a combine harvester with labor alone. There's a hell of a lot of capital that went into producing one. Land, mining equipment, metal smelters, machine shops, trains and ships, and assembly facilities.

It takes skilled labor too, but you can't make most things purely out of skilled labor.
No, they suggested using stolen bank accounts to receive the artist royalties.
But are they as durable in corrosive environments? They’ll be competing against 100+ years of marine diesel engine development.
The answer to combating military armed drone swarms is simple:
Nuke the SOBs that use them.
Dead men/women/theys don't build, deploy or use armed drone swarms.
Nuking them, in the long run, will save more lives, cost less and end conflicts sooner.
Although it may not be PC to say it these days, the aim of war is to defeat the enemy as quickly as possible...and, like it or not, the most efficient way to do that is often to kill as many of them as you can as fast as you can.

Kites and cylindrical sails are worth the cost and logistical difficulties as a suppliment in some niches, but are not enough on their own.
What support does apple provide for other OSs? I thought that work was entirely community driven?
I don’t agree with this. What I do think is there are lots of “firms” that suck up all the money and efficiency from a project. They have no real desire, or skill a lot of times, to build a successful app but instead to game jira and enjoy a steady stream of suckers.

I’ve been through multiple YC companies now (arriving right after they were funded) and they all pretty much throw money to these code monkey shops that target YC and work with them.

Not just that but I’ve met “scrum masters” who’s entire schtick was consulting YC firms (or other early stage startups) and brought to the table senior engineers of below or equal to mid level quality.

I’d really hate to see how many founders with good ideas saw there time and effort wasted due to a trusting of firms like these.
Yeah don't use xyz they make you pay your taxes. What scumbags.
I have dns-level adblocking, which leaves white squares where the ads should have been... many many white squares on vice.
Thanks for your feedback. I think for the status characters there are a lot of imaginable variations and preferences. In the end, I thought that restricting the spec to a single character per status would help to confine the overall complexity of the file format, so it’s a bit of a tradeoff.

> "Over 40% of [fission products] leave core [in offgas]"
"Large fraction of cesium, strontium, and iodine end up in offgas"

That could, in theory at least, be an advantage if you have a good process for capturing and storing that offgas (reacting it with something to make it solid and then glassifying it, for instance).

In a traditional fission reactor, gaseous fission products cause swelling and cracking of fuel pellets, and builds up pressure in the fuel tubes, which is one of the factors limiting fuel burnup.
So you say we should price in all those fossil and renewable sources which help France and they rotting nuclear fleet these days?

The whole "criticism" (more like: meddling) of Lazard grew from the fans of nuclear. It doesn't make any sense but to make nuclear look better. However it backfires spectacularly these days.
We looked at Bupa. Is that what you have to supplement? We're earnestly interested in coming back to the UK. But our fear is having more children. It didn't seem like private made a difference in that case.

I had an inexplicable leg I couldn't walk on. I paid for all my x-rays and MRIs after waiting for the NHS for 6 months. If some 500 GBP supplement fixes these problems, that'd be great. As I understand, private health care in the UK is more for bedside manner and responsive GP phone calls than for anything substantial. But I'm selfishly interested in being wrong.
