Nitro's product also does it, but maybe they download the file from themselves or another vendor. Every internet-connected GPS device does it, and this has been the case since even before smartphones took off. If they don't, first fix in a day will take 10-15 minutes of solid reception.

Some GPS chipsets will perform A-GPS internally using a baseband IP stack, but most smartphones actually don't and expect a daemon to handle it since the OS has more sophisticated ways of deciding what network connection to use for the download. This is the most common case for Android, the OS downloads the file and uses a kernel module to provide it to the GPS chipset. The chipset vendors, including Qualcomm here, provide this service as part of their userspace components.

An IIOT LTE module I use has an onboard IP stack and AGPS implementation since it's intended for use in contexts where there isn't necessarily a conventional OS connected to it, maybe just a serial data logger or whatever. The A-GPS requests it makes contain so little data it's a bit comical, the bare minimum for a valid HTTP request. Another reason it's nice to have the OS do it is since that tends to get you access to a more complete HTTP library.

Why would you reinvest dividends blindly rather than investing in whatever is the best opportunity at the time? Highly doubtful that most are reinvesting, as most money is run through managers who will target a balanced portfolio. I certainly don’t blindly DRIP.

Your understanding of buybacks is wrong. You can’t “sell off” after the buyback as a buyback is mechanically neutral to share price. Cash holdings of the company go down such that NAV per share is the same after the buyback. It may go up due to sentiment or technical reasons, but not for fundamental reasons.

A company buying back their own shares must be judged the same as an investor buying the shares, if a company has a 1% earnings yield and no earnings growth, then a buyback is effectively the same as locking in a 1% annual return on that cash.

If the company shrinks, as it did with BBBY, then the buybacks were dilutive. Shareholders would have more per share today if BBBY had sat on that cash rather than buying back.

The math is simple, straightforward, and not really subject to debate… I’m describing the mechanics behind it. The realized value of a buyback can only be known with hindsight… you get nothing today. It’s a bet on the future of the company/earnings just as it is when an investor purchases shares.

Final note. You will pay capital gains tax on any future stock sales or dividends, so accretive buybacks can only be said to be tax deferred. In the end when you realize the investment you pay tax on that amount, which may or may not be higher tomorrow than it is today.
I don't know that I've necessarily seen suppression of views, but I have noticed an influx of what I call "reddit level" commentary. You know the type, usually low hanging puns or snarky replies that don't actually add any value or contribute to the conversation in a meaningful or relevant way.

As a rule, I immediately downvote these, because there's already a place for this kind of mad magazine garbage, it's called reddit.
And they still burn much less per-capita, so what's your point? Everyone should decarbonize quickly, but especially those wealthy countries that burn the most per-capita today, and who have burned the most historically and therefore benefited the most from the resulting wealth accumulation. And these wealthy countries should be sending truckloads of money to poor countries to help them with their decarbonization efforts, as recompense for their far outsized role in creating this problem to begin with.
His video was mainly about how that chart is inaccurate and outdated. For example, 12:50 in the video. From what I understood, one of the main downsides of the chart is it focuses on tongue position, but not lip position. There are different vowel sounds that have identical tongue positions but different lip positions.
> I'd bet that almost any town of more than 100,000 people, maybe even less, has places like this.

I'd argue the reverse--these kinds of co-ops are more likely to be found in smaller, cheaper, more rural towns. The key to these kinds of places is "cheap real estate with few restrictions".

As soon as the town starts getting too prosperous, they force these kinds of businesses out of the area.
Not so great title. There was no explosion at lift off, just a mass ejection of debris that was formerly the launch site.
Okay but I don't see why you're so skeptical of the policy.

This is all normal telemetry data roughly analogous to what most websites collect. Why are you assuming they're probably collecting much less?

Gotcha. I think I never dug into it because normal people generally don’t want to write in Markdown. The effort in doing that and manually managing cloud sync isn’t worth it. Apple needs to build it with WYSIWYG and have it work out of the box with iCloud.
Sorry, misread. So the worst case is roughly par with an ICE, and the average case is much better.

I plugged in an old EV (2012 Model S) and a Wyoming ZIP code to the DOE's calculator¹, and I'm getting half the CO₂. 220 g/mi for the Tesla, and 410 g/mi for the new gasoline car.

I'm sure you can find an electrical outlet somewhere in the heart of coal country that fares worse for the EV, but that's not really helpful for the general analysis here. If you find yourself reliant on pure coal for your electricity, then you have a good individual use-case to remain on ICE. But for the vast majority of drivers in the U.S., EVs are tremendously more efficient than ICE when weighing CO₂ emissions per mile.

I can promise that it won’t go 100x, but 5-10x is still possible and would be outstanding.
The title of the HN article matches that of the article linked to, but that title is wrong. It’s 711 Wh/kg. Still impressive, but 711kWh/kg would be almost 60 times that of oil (at about 12kWh/kg. https://www.forestresearch.gov.uk/tools-and-resources/fthr/b...)

> And if they wanted to do that and paid me for it, I might be interested in helping the environment.

Let me put it into perspective: making your Tesla (a heavy vehicle probably driving 1 person) drive more is not helping the environment.

If you want to help the environment, don't drive a Tesla, find something that burns less energy (like a smaller car, or public transports, or an electric bike).
More than that, you can probably fix the Lack.

Just get some cheap metal brackets and attach them to the underside of the table and the legs. Especially if you have a white Lack, you can paint the bracket and screws white and the table will still look nice.

And this would make it, dunno, $40 for the table and $5 for the screws and brackets.

People in cities need a small car, which is different than wanting a small car. I definitely had a small car in NYC out of necessity, but still wished I could bring my daughter's crib to my parents' place on the weekend (obviously impossible in a small car while bringing the family along).
You don't need a third party, you just need to check your network traffic. The issue is that this request is not sent very often because this data is valid pretty long.

But it's basically just fetching https://xtrapath4.izatcloud.net/xtra2.bin with cron (or some other subdomain, depending on the SoC) and uploading that to the gps module so it has atmospheric corrections.
I think if you take care of Ikea and you're not super unlucky or move very frequently, Ikea furniture for sure can last several decades.

And at that point... how much furniture do you really need? Does it really need to follow you to your grave?

I get that issuing stock is a way for companies to raise capital, but once it’s out there, how does a company benefit when I buy 100 of their shares from you? Is it different than the used record or book market?
I'm not that careful with my stuff, but I have some 15-year old Ikea desks that my wife and I have moved from the West Coast USA to the East Coast USA, then to an island in the Pacific, then back to the West Coast, then back to the island again. They are as solid as ever, and I don't foresee ever replacing them, honestly. I have no idea how people are so careless with their things, I have too many old cables so I have a problem where I never have the newest spec cable due to never having to buy new ones!

It's hilarious (in a way) seeing EUians comment on Americans.
Because the “do it yourself on linux” advocate tends to ignore all of the reasons why a person might prefer an easy to use, 3rd party managed services. Which could include not wanting to accept all of the compromises required to use Linux for personal computing, not having the competence to implement a Linux solution, or not having the motivation or time to maintain their own Linux-based services. So even when the solutions they advocate are perfectly decent, it tends to be associated with a lack of insight into how small of a segment people with the same competencies and preferences as them represent.
That's why I said it's "OCaml-like" followed by a colon: to highlight the similarities.

As for why it's an ML dialect, maybe (maybe not) it's more fair to call it "ML-inspired". Nonetheless, it's similar enough to the ML family to be understood by ML programmers. But yes, one of the major pillars of ML—the module system—is conspicuously absent in favor of Haskell-like type classes.
It is still my time and attention that is far more valuable for me than whatever I would get back for reselling Billy bookshelves and the likes.

It works for you, you have headspace and you are mentally well composed to deal with that crap.

I’m not, so much rather dump furniture on the curb/trash of course after checking with family and friends in case they would need or want to take it for free. If they take it and sell it off good for them.
I have not even seen the HN comment section before writing this post
C is simpler so long as you avoid "smart" code and stick to simple patterns consistently, like if/goto error cleanup or using libraries to deal with strings. It's not hard, just very tedious. Someone coming from Java or C# would quickly recognize that this is basically doing what they've taken for granted, but manually. Once they do, so long as they have the discipline and patience to stick to this approach, it's not really all that different. GObject is a good example of this kind of C.

With Rust, you have to think very differently about how to e.g. structure your data to make the borrow checker happy in many cases. This doesn't really translate to anything similar in other mainstream languages; it's a whole new skill that has to be learned.
> like Try::Tiny, with which it’s quite easy to forget that a return statement in the try block will do exactly the wrong thing

Try::Tiny does its best without manipulating the parser itself; it's been superseded by Syntax::Keyword::Try (which alters the parser to make flow control work as you'd expect), and in the last few years of releases there is a native `try` keyword right in the language (which can be used in older versions via Feature::Compat::Try, which is a shim on top of Syntax::Keyword::Try in old versions and a no-op in new versions).

> IKEA has always fallen apart when you try to move it...

I've had the same Ikea Jerker desk since 1998. It still looks like new, and I've moved across the country with it several times. I even bought a few more when I could... they stopped making them 10-15 years ago. Best desk ever made. Totally modular, so you can canabalize other parts and mix and match to get exactly the desk configuration you want.

Not on Android. AOSP is free, but if you want to ship the play store then you have to also include the other Google apps. It is the Google data harvesting and advertising that pays for Android.

I omitted windows with intent. There are things to like (i.e. centralization & control for business cases), but also many, many things to dislike.

If I had a chance to make one argument to the board of Microsoft, I would plead with them to create a separate "hacker" edition of windows that is true price and ships with absolutely zero crapware. Some argue with me that Windows Server is effectively this, but brand image won't improve much with that narrative.

Adjusted for inflation, Windows 95 cost over $400 on launch day. I don't mind paying big bucks for an OS if it's done properly. This is precisely the same issue we run into with TVs. You'll find HN complaining about it approximately every 30 days or so. Price gets subsidized into a shitty experience every time. At least in the case of physical goods you have some realistic arguments for not differentiating the product line, but when it's a goddamn piece of software that already has a bunch of editions I don't see why not.
I just came here to say this! (=
Just to add on, many of these vehicles actually get a lot more daily mileage than a there-and-back commuter. Their effective usage can be much much higher, which makes any efficiency/pollution savings proportionally more prevalent.

People buy long range cars not for commutes but because they want to be able to go on trips. If we can right-size EV's for commercial usage, the up front expense might be lessened even more.
Honestly, how do you move furniture? Do you want it over to 2 guys with a chainsaw?

Ikea furniture can definitely be moved.
exactly. Most stocks are effectively over produced digital collectibles. a stock should only be worth the potential cash flows it gives you in the future. period.

> You're mentioning security, which is interesting, because here it's not a question of security

I mention security because, by running blobs (sometimes entire OSes) in TrustZone EL3 / Hypervisor EL2 rings, OEMs / ODMs can pretty much do anything they want, including connecting to WiFi / LTE networks to phone home, analyse contents of the RAM, scan UFS / eMMC, track inputs / keys, and what-not; all without Android (Kernel EL1 + Userspace EL0) ever knowing anything about it.

> It's also fun that you mention Google doing security around Android... because the vast majority of people do send their private data to Google!

Agree. One good thing about Google tightening up Android APIs (and CCD certifications) in the name of security (and compatibility) is it only leaves Google with the keys to snoop on users. Careful "De-googling" of the ROM can take one a long way, indeed.

> My personal take is that if we want to control who we send our data to, we need to start from the easy steps: ...

The most common statement I make is about the misapplication of the NFL.

This is not an appropriate use of the NFL.

The original commenter is asking about a general solution that will work well for all problems presented at it. The NFL details fine-grained tradeoffs in _ideal solutions_ for specific traits in certain areas. Additionally, we're not operating in an unbiased space here, so trivially there is a best estimator without bias. So by that very fact alone the NFL is invalidated in terms of the method it is being applied in here.

This is something I feel frustrated seeing a lot of younger people entering the field do (not saying you are young or new, it's just the trend). If this was the case in this kind of a way we never would have gotten beyond MLPs.

Yes, indeed there is in fact a set of general solutions that works roughly well over everything and is biased towards the situations where people will need it the most.

No, it will likely not be the technically best performing solution.

What the OP is looking for I believe is convenience, stability, and reliably good performance.

Hence, the NFL is not applicable or relevant to this matter in the way it is being used.
I think it's okay, I use it because it was the first polished app I could read and edit notes from so many devices.

But the idea Notion is a 100M business, let alone a 10B valued company is madness.
I was very disappointed in that Kickstarter. Yubikey ran a 54% off discount May 4th last year and not knowing when I would get my v2 SoloKeys, I purchased two. I had them within the week and have since integrated them into all my accounts.

I debated backing out of the Kickstarter as the Yubikeys were working so well for me, but decided to stick with it and see what the SoloKey experience would be like. Yeah, disappointing. I ordered USB-A and USB-C keys. The USB-A key doesn't make a good connection with the USB port. It needs to be carefully held to register with the OS, otherwise it doesn't get power.
Interesting, I was happy to do it for $48k and thought there were no further room for negotiating. Can you share how your negotiation went down?
> In the US, the merchants had too much power to delay the introduction of Chip+PIN readers

Merchants had more power, but the ultimate deciders were consumers, who have not only a choice in merchants but a choice in cards.

> the risk of card-present transactions is dramatically lowered, independent of who is responsible for the fraud

Nobody cares if business goes down more than the fraud costs.

> Visa/MC were both bank consortiums

This is wrong. American Express is bank-like because it owns its own credit book. Visa and MasterCard are payment processors. They are publicly traded and not bank consortiums. This is crucial to understanding the power dynamic: the payment processors do not take diktats from the banks.

> America is not a "convenience optimizer" its a "changing consumer behavior is hard so lets not do it" optimizer

Sure. Friction avoided for not being worth the trouble is optimising for convenience.

I can personally tell you that had a card gone chip + PIN mandatory, I’d have dropped it, and if a merchant started requiring special payment requirements I’d expect compensation for the trouble. Many merchants, notably Starbucks, did this, but it could never go mainstream. And unlike countries where consumer banks were incentivised to lobby for reforms, that political will to override the public’s preferences couldn’t exist here.
There have been recent studies that said that, just like at one time there were recent studies that said the opposite. Neither is sufficiently strong evidence to be dispositive, though I'd probably lean towards the more recent ones.
>The biggest difference between a panel on Earth and one in space is the space panel is illuminated 23 hours a day

The average American uses (or should use) the standard deduction. Those using complicated tricks to pay less on taxes are a minority.
