On the decentralization front, I think we need to normalize "Level 1 Chargers" everywhere as an alternative. A "charger" can just be a standard outlet or three in a handy to access spot. No need for credit cards because the Level 1 electricity rates are probably cheaper than parking costs or other things people will be doing on your site anyway. (It's "basic hospitality" at that point, like how phone chargers have started to proliferate in places like coffee shops.) No need for a central database or status checks, because you can just put outlets everywhere and then expect people to find them/use them as they see fit. The more "Level 1 Chargers" that exist in the wild the less people think Chargers have to be gas-station like "pumps" and maybe the more that understand electricity is just electricity and doesn't need to be centralized in the same ways as gas stations. Yes, Level 1 Charging is slow, but it is still better than no charging, and as an available, massively decentralized option it can help drive down costs of Level 2/3+/Fast Charging.

I agree it’s hard to quantify, and I agree US prisons aren’t really worse than Chinese ones. Rather, I believe they are roughly the same. Thus, condemning out one without even mentioning the other is simply dishonest. Especially when the condemning side is the competing perpetrator, as is usually the case with anti-Chinese propaganda.
Local community input isn't really "more voices". You're only counting one small group of voices, and those voices are mostly used to rent seek. I'd argue that the Japanese system of national streamlined zoning incorporates far more voices than local community input, since it represents the whole country instead of just the neighborhood.

Genpax | Engineers (full stack, frontend/backend, product, devops) | Notting Hill, London, UK | ONSITE (hybrid/flexible) | https://www.genpax.co/

Genpax is building a game-changing bacterial analysis platform. Using bioinformatics, we can help hospitals take early and effective action against outbreaks of MRSA and other pathogens. This is an opportunity to have a real-world impact on thousands of lives each year.

At Genpax our goal is to radically increase the utility, scalability, and speed with which whole genome sequencing (WGS) data delivers infection control solutions for human and animal healthcare worldwide. This will enable proactive control at early stages of outbreaks, and to respond appropriately to more dangerous or more antibiotic resistant strains. We have developed unique solutions to address the challenges and our goal is to provide access to these solutions in a fully scalable system.

We already have a world-class scientific team of bioinformaticians, and we're building out an engineering team to match. There are really interesting engineering problems to be solved: scaling and optimising our analysis pipeline and the bioinformatics algorithms we use; building out our interactive graph-based user-facing product; developing cryptographic techniques for analysis of anonymised data. We're still in early stages - so far we’re using Python, GraphQL, React/TypeScript, Postgres and AWS.

£45-95k + equity, based on experience.

I recommend people click into the link and read the full quote.

The quote snippet is out of context and feels like its done strategically.
I am not saying it’s not producing art, I’m saying a human instigated the machine to produce it; it’s a robot with a bunch of brushes in its hand. The difference between that and life evolving to fill a gap in a vacuum is the computer did not do that on its own. Semantics, maybe, but a computer did not evolve until humans did. Fish and moss evolved independently of humans; that’s the difference that distinguishes whether AI is intelligent to me. I would define it as a memory store for contemporary human sensibilities, not a independently bodied entity.

That said, if people want to wax poetic privately in their own jargon, whatever, of course. That’s democracy.

But the refined over thousands of years corpus of knowledge “contained” within STEM fields has been shown over and over to be our most reliable guide humans have come up with for building a society. Nothing in there attempts to define what is and isn’t intelligence; it’s a model of what matter exists and how it coalesces at various “speeds” relative to light. Needing to define if AI is this or that is a romantic human thing; very subjective.

Where a physical thing “is” is hard to argue. Where a thing fits into ones subjective mental taxonomy is easy to argue.

Having worked on one of the most bloated SPAs at Google and doing an SRE rotation to optimize exactly these metrics, I couldn’t agree more on the hypothesis that this is where complexity, jank and fragility arises.

This is why our startup set out to build the best-in-class frontend for cloud computing and making a bet on SSR. I’m from a JavaScript background and personally think hate for the language is undue. V8 is also a marvel of engineering. We elected Go for our application language. It’s faster for our purposes but with SSR the domain language isn’t as important. We could use Haskell if it was fit for the problem domain. We empathize with how ideas such as “user-perceived latency” came about but SSR is a much simpler model and our philosophy is that “simpler is faster is faster”.

I think they were talking about DDG with that part.
As a US prisoner I was worked until my hands bled, regularly forced to do things declared torture by the USA courts. Feel free to complain to the prison guard in charge of the complaints process. You have no access to the courts until you have exhausted the prison complaints process. Complain, and you will be placed in a cell with some unsavory characters, your room will be 'shaken down' every day, including your cellies stuff, and it will be made known the shakedown is due to your bucking the system. Your cellies will make sure you stop complaining and their cell stops getting tore up. The USA system is all for looks, but is impossible to actually get any access to remedy once you are on the inside and no longer in the world.

FYI: Things like fast food franchise remodels regularly have American forced labour doing a lot of the CAD/CAM work. If you eat at American franchise restaurants, you support American prisoner slave labour. [edit] here is a pretty government website promoting you to use slave labour: https://www.unicor.gov/Category.aspx?iStore=UNI&idCategory=1...

here is the US Constitution 13th Amendment banning slavery:

“Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”
Okay, I think that’s it: to me, using methods of conventional warfare, but aimed against civilians instead of military, is no longer conventional warfare.
I guess for a few years there might have been a market for hardware MP3 decoders. I faintly remember back when playing MP3s did take a sizeable chunk of CPU time. But after a Moore cycle or two the cost was negligible, and today Spotify probably spends much more CPU on drawing its interface than decoding the audio stream…

> Lisbon and other metropolises indeed are bad, but because a incredible amount of people want to live there despite lack of enough land there.

And infrastructure. Lisbon is incredibly dense, partly due to its historical neighborhoods that's impenetrable by modern surface traffic, and a subway network with insufficient reach for a growing metropolis, resulting in everyone packing themselves denser in the few desirable areas.

A couple of reasons:

- During the MS-DOS era, there wasn't really a standard API for sound, so using a cheap, off-brand sound chip (including anything that might be integrated) often meant compatibility problems. Even though it might not necessarily have offered the highest quality sound, Creative's Sound Blaster line was the gold standard for compatibility during this time. Standardized sound APIs have largely eliminated this issue.

-Throughout the '90s, music for games (and a number of other applications) was distributed as MIDI (or MIDI-like) instructions to be generated by a synthesizer, and the quality of the music was very much dependent on the synthesizer used. The Roland Sound Canvas series was the gold standard at the time (in part due to its quality, and in part because that's what the composers themselves used), but it was very expensive and out of reach to the mass market. Software synthesizers were either too slow, or the quality sucked. That gave an opportunity for sound card manufacturers like Creative to offer higher-quality hardware synthesizers on their sound cards than what cheap/integrated cards could do. These days, most audio is PCM, and hardware is perfectly capable of high-quality software sound synthesis, so hardware synthesis has become a non-issue and modern consumer sound hardware doesn't even have hardware synthesis capabilities anymore.

- During the '00s, sound cards began to offer accelerated environmental and positional audio (e.g., Aureal3D, Creative EAX), which games quickly adopted to improve the sense of immersion. However, changes in the Windows audio architecture introduced with Windows Vista broke this functionality without a replacement. Advances in CPU hardware have since allowed this type of processing to be done on the CPU (e.g., XAudio 3D, OpenAL Soft) with acceptable performance.

In the current era, we do have dedicated soundcards, although not in the form of PCIe add-in boards. External DACs (either dedicated USB, or integrated into a display or AV receiver) are popular, as are the DACs used by wireless/USB headphones. Also, there has been some work done to utilize the computational capability of GPUs for real-time audio ray tracing.

>We are also considering a pricing change for our individual plan which is currently $10/month ($120/year). It is clear to us now that providing superior search quality at the current price will not lead to sustainability and that we will need to increase it.

I guess I will be part of the 70% that will drop. Back to DuckDuckGo it is. Great product, enjoyed using it, but $10/mo for searches was tough to swallow, there's no way I can double that. I was really enjoying it but their cost per search is waaaaaaaaay to high and they need to seriously look at which APIs are costing them so much, and just drop those. I don't necessarily need infoboxes with my search. I'd be happy with just the indexing.
"can you set this value in a TXT field on your DNS" or another domain-level challenge-authentication mechanism would be one. Sure, anyone can buy a domain but in theory that is what Extended Verification is supposed to represent, so if you get a valid handshake from an EV domain then in theory you're talking with someone representing the organization that the EV certificate was issued for.

Of course in principle you can get an EV cert for any company as well, but now we're talking about determining whether a company is sufficiently well-known to accept, which is not something that can fully be solved deterministically since that's a human judgement, there will always be some grey areas. But, there are certainly a lot of companies that could probably be "automatically verified" in some fashion (ford motor company? reasonably well-known, and this is their domain...) given some sort of authoritative domain -> stock mapping, and that's not impossible to do if you trust the EV scheme.

Anyway, not perfect, but challenges based raises the bar a lot from "register domain with godaddy and sign up for let's encrypt" to "first you have to get an EV certificate..."

Of course, since such a mechanism is not widely used... not exactly going to find tons of official support for using it like that. But the mechanisms are there!

I'm pretty sure mining a empty rock from thousands of km away of 0.000000001 of its mass is less risky than mining the same thing in our backyard. Zero risk is impossible, but we know the risk of doing the things we do right now.

So unless you are willing to give up on the things that allow you to post this very comment on HN, the the building materials most come from somewhere. Better it come from the moon that the amazonia.

The option of not mining at all exist, but the chances that it happen are so low betting on it would be like hoping to win the lottery to pay for your hospital bill.

Maybe 100% of students choose to never again patronize the bakery and think that Oberlin shouldn't have to pay the judgement ... tough, not relevant.
> I think the ratio of men:women is about 2:1 on most apps

Ratio is actually 3:1 and I agree with your viewpoint partly. People just keep swiping while talking to each other, so I don't see why x would be taking more time than y, however, women do indeed also need to spend that time finding their matches and QA them (excuse the engineering term), so I don't believe there are any parties winning here.
I agree with you, but it's interesting to me to observe that you haven't been downvoted into oblivion, which I think _would've_ happened if we were speaking of packaged PWAs in the form of Electron/desktop apps. Do you think the same arguments apply in that arena as well?

I don't understand what's interesting about this story. They won an enormous judgement (I think understandably --- that they were clearly in the right in this case, and they were wronged by a wealthy organization). They judgement was appealed. The appeal failed. Oberlin is going to pay. The courts will force them to pay. Seems simple. Bari Weiss knows the answer to the question posed by the headline; she could have just, you know, added the sentence "Yes."

You're debating a term I never used. If you don't like how someone else uses it, then you'll have to ask them about what they mean, because I didn't use it.
