> Such stuff wouldnt be in mass media ever because first, it reduces the competition chances of US armament makers

Mass media with global reach exists that is headquartered in, and has as much relationship to local arms makers as exists in the US media in countries whose armament makers are the competition to US armament makers, so that explanation seems inadequate and parochial.

Pro tip: you’ll look less like a propaganda shill if you don’t start using contextually unusual and inaccurate labels that contribute nothing to the substance of your message right after the same regime whose propaganda substance you are echoing does so prominently with the exact same terms the same way in its propaganda.
I seem to understand that the issue is about the "most of the logs" and on the company statement about their pellets being generally made not from logs (at first only by those that were "small, twisted, or rotten" and later also from "good" logs but of " species the timber industry did not want").

So possibly a good question would be which species these forests of woods are made of and in percentage how much timber is directly processed into pellets from logs.
LOL. That's legitimately entertaining and hysterical.
It's about tradeoffs. From where I sit (not running an ad blocker, but yes running several extensions on a corporate machine), the benefits outweigh the costs because while currently corporate IT has to allow-list every extension one-by-one, Mv3 allows them to have a policy where they trust the Chrome Web Store and allow us to install extensions as long as they don't demand XYZ permissions.

Game journalism has been dead for a long time. No one who is serious about games pays any attention to it, and they routinely mock everyone in games journalism, making constant comments about "journalist mode" that plays the game for you, etc, because they hold them in such low respect. Beyond that it seems like half the articles coming out in "games" journalism these days seem more interested in pushing specific political positions and discussing identity politics than actually discussing games exacerbates the problem.

Games journalism is dead it's been dead for a while, anyone making money in it right now is just involved trying to make the last few bucks before it evaporates.

There are some things that are uniquely beneficial for Postgres beyond the data storage - the main one I'm excited about is using PostGIS inside the browswer.

> Tesla has the vertical integration to eventually make a consumer robot.

As in "management unscrupulous enough to release an overpriced, unsafe, half baked product and adoring followers gullible enough to pay for it".

In that sense, they truly ARE "leveraging their FSD expertise in a new product space".
>>> Ultralight can emit raw GPU geometry / low-level draw calls to paint directly on the GPU without an intermediate CPU bitmap. We recommend this integration method for best performance

This is sort of where I am, and a lot of people are doing similar explorations, in developing custom GUIs inside the browser that leverage WASM for high performance graphics. I'm using a hybrid bespoke GLSL translations and raw pixel manipulated bitmaps to Canvas2D, eventually targeting a custom webgpu renderer. Main issue is simply browser fragmentation. And, of course, ever larger data visualizations!

Cheapest iPhone 14 (not pro) is 30999 TL. Minimum wage is 5500 TL in Turkey. %48 of workforce in Turkey earns Minimum wage. A junior software engineer mostly earns between 10-30k TL. A teacher earns around 8-9K. But there is too much variation, inequality so numbers may be way off.

Copying my comment from there.

Waste wood for power is fine.

Similarly other biomass from agricultural waste is good.

Key word here is waste, because it'll naturally be cheaper and more efficient to use animal droppings or the inedible bits of food crops or post-consumer food waste or sawdust or offcut branches that are only going to be dumped in a way that releases methane. This can make them GHG negative, and so better than even renewables, though they can't scale as much so they're only part of the solution.

If that primary forest was sold and cleared to make planks, then that might be a problem for Canada to look into, but people using the waste from the process is not.

The article tries to imply that the whole forest was clear cut and burned for power but they don't actually state that, presumably because it's not true. It would be a much bigger scoop if it was.

Once we get rid of the need to burn stuff for power by rolling out more renewables, it'll probably still make sense to process waste biomass via pyrolysis to achieve carbon removal.
> Nope. ~$250k is what she was paid, $1.6million is what she was fined.

If she was paid 250K and fined 1.6M, then she's going to pay in much more than she made. Do I misunderstand the terms of the settlement here?

> Classy

This is a fair point and I agree it doesn't sound _great_, but I would just like to see a little agency now and then. Both things could be true at once.

EE here. Not really about admin/IT. But I do wonder sometimes if I should have done software as a career. Mostly it's a grass is greener feeling when I hear about the high end of the salaries. But I do very well financially, the jobs are stable, and I write cool software to solve my own problems, rather than grinding on someone else's Jira tasks. I do lots of IT and computer admin stuff too, but also on my own terms. Setting up simulation clusters, remote hardware automation, development environments, storage, etc... so much so that our department hired a guy to take on some of that work.
Nissan cheaped out on the Leaf and didn’t include any battery cooling. A used Leaf that spent any time in a hot climate and was charged to get the published range is unlikely to have a battery at full capacity.

Your source is counting the share of electricity generation. My source[0] is counting the share of primary energy; including fuel, heating, etc. I believe the latter is more relevant for the current discussion (CO2 emissions and cars). Electricity is not even half of our primary energy use.

Haskell for Mathematicians
Not every mathematician likes Haskell.

(here are a bunch of them: https://math.andrej.com/2016/08/06/hask-is-not-a-category/)

and this feels to strong: "Haskell ... is very good at modelling certain branches of mathematics"

(Somebody cries "Haskell has no semantics")

Anyway, this is nice Haskell stuff and lay people can get inspiration of some nice mathematics.

And you don't believe you can do the same with an EV? When I test drove the first EV (a Nissan Leaf) I bought, I took an OBD2 dongle with me and evaluated the data after the fact. I was able to confirm the battery health and capacity, the charging rates seen, etc.

With that in hand, I was confident in the health of the EV and made my purchase.

In the future it may very well be possible to do the same home repairs on your EV. We're barely past the first decade of publicly available EVs. A number of early EVs have plenty of guides out there on how to replace and rebuild battery packs on your own, and aftermarket mfgs are starting to produce speed controllers and ECUs for custom EVs.

It's just a new wave of tech, and that too will become normal over time just like ICE cars themselves.
We start by recognizing that the option exists and then we discuss the merits and risks on forums like this one.
> Going from "not the best" as a high schooler to "not the best" as an adult is... fine? Its no major difference.

No matter how hard I try to improve the way my eight year old thinks about things, he always approaches new experiences with thoughts like "maybe I'll be the first to…" or "maybe I'll invent a better…".

I've seen this in my adult peers, but the wording is a bit different even though it's just as unhealthy e.g. "perhaps I'll start the next Facebook".

The sentiment is expressed in the popular meme quote: "Born too late to explore the earth, but born too early to explore the stars".

I reckon this was common in the recent past, but with the naïveté that comes with living without pervasive mass communication, those thoughts were more likely to be motivating than deflating.

The use of third party KYC services like Onfido is widespread in the cryptocurrency space as well, where over-compliance is the norm right now. Consumers are given little choice as to which provider stewards their ID scans, bank statements, biometric data, etc.

This user experience has trained the most vulnerable, non-tech-savvy audiences to provide just about anything requested when asked for ID verification. Including to phishers.

If you push back too hard against arbitrary, invasive KYC requests, you start down a path towards becoming unbanked.

The USA is badly in need of modern consumer privacy regulations.
Wow this is pretty awesome, thanks for sharing. Would love to see this packaged up as a browser extension so that it would automatically 'fix' any fandom wiki I happen to load up.

The fandom wikis are just...terrible from a UX standpoint. And it's a shame that such massive game wikis like Minecraft and Terraria are trapped on Fandom (via a former buyout of gamepedia).

A plea to game developers: If you aren't willing to create and host an official wiki, please help/enable your game community to create and host a wiki that isn't held hostage by a site like Fandom. Some of my favorites:

I'm sorry man. I recently visited turkey as a foreigner, and was shocked how far my overseas dollars went. I spoked to a Turkish taxi driver in the US, who reminisced 2007 where the lira was almost at the USD. Now you can get a full meal for $2.50 USD. I spent a night at a 5 star hotel in Istanbul, for the same price as a capsule hotel in Tel Aviv.

A lot of foreigners will think 'oh boy cheap holiday' seeing this news, but really it should make their stomachs turn. The common people suffer over such a frustratingly avoidable problem.
I was really surprised on my vacation last summer how often I saw EV chargers at hotels in rural locations. Especially in central and western Kansas.

Hard to tell. I pay for O'Reilly for myself since it covers a lot of my needs (nearly all tech books across publishers, conferences, and courses/videos across some publishers (manning, packt, wiley)).

$700 is a steep price to pay for a single go course.
> Cutting down a few square miles of it is really not a big deal, unlike in Europe, where similarly old forests are comparatively extremely rare.

Ancient forest is so rare as to be almost non-existent in Britain. This is because we gradually cut it all down over a long period of time [1], presumably on the iterated basis that there was a lot of it and that cutting down a few square miles was really not a big deal.

Some of it has been replaced in the last hundred years, but the replacement is of a very low quality, relatively speaking: mostly just fast growing conifers.

Supabase developer here.

I've used this to move data from a live Supabase database down to the browser for testing and playing around with things in a "sandbox" environment. Then I save snapshots along the way in case I mess things up.

To move a table over from my Supabase-hosted postgres instance to the browser, I just exit out of psql and run something like this:

pg_dump --clean --if-exists --quote-all-identifiers -t my_table -h db.xxxxx.supabase.co -U postgres | psql -U postgres

Keep in mind if you try something like this, our proxy is rate limited for now to prevent abuse, so it might not be super fast. It's easy to remove rate limiting at the proxy, though.
Yes! Was expanding and building a little.
Exactly -- the STATIONARY/TELEPORT experiences.

In other words, we can correctly assume the converse; Any application that involves the user moving in VR is presently a non-starter for the most part.

Now, how fun / interesting / useful are those S/T experiences, especially as compared to the hype of VR? I'd say a solid-but-small chunk of gaming at best. Right now, I feel like the MAX impact VR could have on the world would be roughly equivalent to the Wii's.

I'm not saying that nothing could flip the switch in the future, and I do acknowledge those "physical" careers that would benefit greatly, e.g. architecture. But I see nothing remotely close on the horizon that puts VR headsets in households on the level of iPhones or even Echos.

Do what's right, which is to protect your neck. The person doesn't really have anything of substance to add.

If the person did decide to go to the SEC, here's what you'd need:

1.) A good lawyer (don't go talking to investigators without a lawyer)

2.) A sit down with the lawyer and the investigators

3.) ???

4.) Worry if the death threats are actually meaningful

A dozen crypto bros may not be too worrying. But you don't know who else got juice from the scheme. There were already unknown boxing promoters mentioned. Boxing is a dirty sport with real organized crime ties. And crypto is used to facilitate huge amounts of money laundering, which attracts criminals of all stripes.

Easy for random HN commenter to say go to the SEC. In real life, there are consequences that the person just doesn't need.
I would argue for replacing the word "with" with "into" in the headline here, so it's clear what's being injected into what.
Privacy.com is not about hiding your identity from authorities.

It's mostly about hiding the fact that the same person, you, are paying to merchant A and merchant B. It allows you to easily have a card per merchant, and lock it to the merchant so that when its number is stolen, it can't be used anywhere else.

The domain name is a bit lofty, yes.

This “we have lots of it!” attitude is why we have very little old growth left.

But the story here isn’t “company that makes power by burning wood burns wood” it’s a company that receives money from the uk gov for “sustainable practices” and says they only burn waste wood is actually burning old growth.

An idea circulating through the population is more than sufficient to qualify it as a meme. "Virality", meaning prolific spreading, was never a necessary condition. Some memes are popular but some aren't, that has always been recognized.

Also jogging is quite literally a meme, from the 60s and 70s. That's when the pairing of the term and activity became popularized and spread through the population.
Also, in case you're curious, PostgreSQL logical replication to the browser wasm instance DOES work. I've done it. :)

> Is it because english isn't my first language, or is the title somewhat ambigious?

The truncated HN headline is a little ambiguous, though the most natural reading is correct; the full source title / subtitle is not ambiguous at all:

“Autistic children with imaginary friends have better social skills, just like neurotypical children /
Results suggest that pretend play provides similar social benefits to autistic children as it does to neurotypical children.”

Constraints force compromise.
For me it's interesting can this work without the need of external proxy server which seems to be needed only to overcome browser connections limitations and nothing else. May there be some more "internal" way to implement/allow these connections?
