Yes and no. Spinning the motor will generate a voltage but if it's not connected to anything there's no current flow and so the only resistance is friction. For it to act as a brake, something has to use the current - for example, charging the battery or more simply just shorting the motor (try turning an efficient DC motor with the wires open and the wires shorted - even with a stepper motor, you'll find a huge difference).

Generally speaking I believe the officers want to do the right thing, but the system is an intertangled web of perverse incentives.

Of course, SQLite is great for a lot of things, including small websites, or nearly anything mostly read without a ton of writes. It's not much at all over the top of modern disk io... nvme drives are crazy fast. My only thinking is in terms of additional concurrency, or for that matter, multiple shared access since FB can grow from embedded to dedicated server... I often think of it as a few steps between SQLite and Postgres for some scenarios.
> The same additional amount in the hands of the top 80% or so of Western hands would be frittered away to no noticeable benefit - we could get by with a lot less.

We could, but getting by with less out of choice is much better than getting by with less out of deprivation (like you said, "if you don't have enough, more is very, very much better"). And if your solution involves a large group of people depriving themselves to benefit those on another side of the world, I'm afraid there's no historical evidence to suggest that it will work even a little bit.

> sometimes it takes a regulatory shove to get there.

Almost all the time, additional powers granted to the government for that regulatory shove are not relinquished. Virtually all the time, a government that is powerful enough eventually becomes tyrannical. We have to weigh that very real possibility against the cost of what appears to be inefficient outcomes.
Maybe "Also the creator of JavaScript" is a tongue-in-cheek contention with assuming that JavaScript and "the world's most popular language" are one and the same.

Popular itself is a squirrelly word here. Popular can simply refer to as "most used" (by this metric, Xi and Modi would be the world's most popular leaders, since they lead the world's biggest populations), or it could be "most liked" by some other measure (I have no analogous leader to nominate here).

Nope. I don't use any Chrome/Chromium based browsers at all. I stick with Firefox and on rare occasions, Safari.
Yeah, that's a fair point but isn't it true that a mostly discharged battery will still have enough charge to perform some limited functions. E.g. even in a normal car I think a dead battery can power the lights even though the starter only "clicks".

Nonetheless, I'm a rather conservative type of person and see your point so in my "dream car" I might want a way to manually put the car in neutral (or free-roll mode, whatever you want to call it). That's why locking hubs came to my mind in a prior reply.
Deceleration isn't really an option. Many developing nations are going to continue to have increasing energy needs. To ask these countries to reduce their energy requirements is to ask their citizens to live a lower standard of life. Hypocritical of those in the West to make that request.

The only real solution is to make energy ubiquitous and plentiful. Governments should be investing 100's billions of dollars into fusion tech. I don't think there is any vision or foresight. Ironically, Oppenheimer came out this year highlighting the development of Los Alamos and the impact of federal projects.

They redid React's official documentation and tutorials recently. I find them easy to follow, you should check them out. React is not necessary the "best" one but it's big and popular enough that learning it will give you a head start in all the other ones.
That's what I say in my comment, OP's ranking is quite misleading.

The ranking I linked and quoted in my comment's is much better. See the About tab. It has 4 evaluations and it doesn't use GPT-4 to evaluate.

Also the top one is a tuned Llama 2. Also clarified in my original comment.
There's no need to "find" the data when the receiving powered IoT devices are in perfect sync with the transmitting base station, because then they can be addressed directly.

Let's say, for example, that you have 256 time slots of 0.1 seconds length, with 256 devices present in each time slot. Each of those 256 IoT devices wake up simultaneously in their respective time slot in sync with the base station beacon and listen if the base station is trying to address one of them specifically, then the rest who aren't being addressed go back to sleep.
There's an old Sys Admin saying (perhaps from Allan Jude of ScaleEngine) that goes something like "if your data doesn't exist in at least three places, it doesn't actually exist at all..."

That is to say, if Tarsnap is the only place you've keeping sensitive/important data, then you're "not doing it right" as a backup. Things happen... your hard drive can die suddenly, and a data center bursts into flames all on the same day.

Just for the sake of discussion: couldn't the same thing be achieved with sepparate code bases of puppet for each component and the infra? I'm no big fan of monorepos either.

The author very clearly doesn't want your sympathy:

> I was never so naive to believe that they’ll just let me go around forever, piggyback on their platform and reap most of the benefits. Even though what we were doing was not forbidden - it was clear that Shopify would disapprove of it.

They made their money while they could. They are disappointed they couldn't keep going, but it doesn't seem like they feel "entitled" to continue.
Fun thing about a car: They have computers that measure all those factors! Your engine knows the air density, air temperature, the rough gravity vector (used for things like hill start assist), lots of info on tire performance, speed, fuel flow, etc etc etc, with more modern cars getting things like GPS details. The estimate they use for range is based on the average fuel economy you get, not some fake model made by the EPA that doesn't represent reality.

This has been true in Toyotas since at least 2004, so I would hope it could be true for a "Luxury" car from a "tech" company.

How does it read like a success story? The bottom half of the article is all about how Shopify pulled the rug out from under them by giving them 3 days to tell their users about "breaking ToS", locking them out of their app, and ultimately seizing their account.
Your second sentence is correct, but it takes a lot more torque to turn a generator at a given speed when it is driving current through a load, than it does when it is open-circuit.

Inside the motor/generator, what happens is that if there's current flowing in the windings as a result of the EMF induced by turning the rotor, then, loosely speaking, it creates a magnetic field which opposes the rotation - but if it is not connected to some load (or a short-circuit) there's no current, even though there is still an induced EMF.

It's a standard case of the conservation of energy - if it were not the case, you could put an arbitrary number of generators on the same shaft, all supplying power to external loads, and then use the output of a couple of them to power a motor spinning the assembly...

If you are turning a motor/generator slowly, then the difference in torque is not much, but I am responding to the implication that the motor would have to be mechanically disengaged in order to disable the braking effect.
Part of this evolution is from funded development to opensource development.

Then there is language variances like flavors so what ends up happening is a million different conceptual primitives that fundamentally the same.

It isn't the same because of a few things. At the end of the day too it is also about how good the support is over the rest. If a new MQ can demonstrate better tooling nothing stops a company from adopting it.
My 2 cents here: It's not always too bad or weak to assume some platform risk to make some business.

Just always keep in mind that, it's not forever and that you should preserve some of that piggybacked money for less risky endeavors. I think business that are mounted over a giant, whilst prone to be killed anytime, can be used for a quick buck[0] as part of a larger plan. In this case, the author was aware of that, but more fore-thinking would have helped.

For instance, I leverage Telegram bots to make some business, but I'm ready for such an scenario where Telegram, decides:

- To make its API paid.

- To copy the features of my bots into product features.

See what happened with Reddit's API. WordPress purchased WooCommerce and it became a happy story, but it could have gone wrong and become a horror story where the purchase could have not happened, and WordPress gone into destroy mode.

I tread lightly.

Think in terms of energy per symbol and it makes sense. When waiting in rcv mode you're paying energy for zero symbols.

The other is transmitting short packets at high power/data rate is a win vs low power low data rate long packets because your energy per symbol is lower with the former. And people that show know better seem to make that mistake a lot.

What people tend to overlook is:

- SQLite is typically used on same-host without any networking…

- Meaning that latency is much, much lower…

- Meaning that you will have much fewer overlapping transactions at any given point in time…

- Which results in less memory usage and…

- An SQLite instance will remain “low-latency” in wall-clock time even under pressure…

- And you have more leeway for ping-ponging (the N+1 problem) which can reduce query complexity, amount of indices, etc

In short, the performance you can squeeze out of a SQLite system is is unexpectedly high, as long as you can fit app+db on the same machine. Instead, I believe you’d choose a single-master networked db often for other (legitimate, but typcially not perf) reasons.

As a meager indie dev, this is a very appealing trade off. I’m not a db expert, and looking at the total complexity and churn in the field, I really don’t want to become one. SQLite has like three knobs. And as a bonus, I can run the same system on client machines.
Maybe we could have some kind of tax you must pay before going to the polls, only allowing land owners to vote, limit the number of polling places in the wrong neighborhoods, make it a crime to vote without state issued ID but make sure the state issued ID is inconvenient to get in the wrong neighborhoods.

That will really make sure only the right people vote and they only elect the right people.
The penalty seems less than a slap on the wrist for Zuck, but I suppose there's the moral value at play. It's also sad to see the left/right flame war slip into HN. The comments are appalling and remind me why I went cold turkey on social media.

If you have a cop as a family member, you are at an elevated risk of each of those, and much of that is the special risk of getting both simultaneously.

I sometimes think it might be nice to grow some quality pipe tobacco in my garden. My understanding is that if you intersperse it with other plants it acts as a natural pest repellant. And while I'm virtually a non-smoker (about 20 cigarettes in my entire life and a handful of cigars), I can see the appeal of occasionally smoking a pipe packed with tobacco that I grew and cured myself.
Yeah, I think that's the ambitious moonshot at least for Fuchsia team, and Google might hope it to be realized. But it probably also acknowledges that it's a very unrealistic goal. More likely scenario is to gradually replace some important core systems (including its kernel?) with Fuchsia while keeping the overall Android ecosystem.
Oh, I didn't see it got flagged... Breaks my heart every time to see this happen when someone gives a voice to the voiceless. Then again, I would have disagreed with myself only 3 years ago, before I took some time to inform myself about ethics, especially in regard to non-human animals. Wish I'd have done it sooner...
Best business lesson I've ever learned: never build your business on top of someone else's business.
This. It’s basically tit for tat by the EU.

Why should Shopify be allowed to decide what two other businesses (merchant and OP) willingly do just because they own the platform?

No, they shouldn't have to play whack-a-mole, I'd argue they shouldn't be allowed to.
Vivaldi's configurability is amazing. Definitely recommended if you like toggles and checkboxes for damn near everything.
It doesn't quite matter how long the years of data are, it is still one single timeseries. That's one of the most important things in time series econometrics. You need to test long time series along multiple securities preferably across different geographies. Taking a 50/200 MA crossover over a single ETF literally proves nothing.
10k was the limit in most of Canada until the 2000s. Since then most provinces have adjusted their limits.

It is now 35k in BC/SK/ON and 15k in MB/QC/NB.

Alberta is the outlier as usual. They're raising the limit to 100k next week.
> you just need a business model that spins off enough money to cover the empire building.

Maybe so. But those business models don't just grow on trees. And once you have one, they don't maintain themselves, either. Someone competent has to keep that business model spinning off that kind of money.

In other words, even in that kind of company, competence actually matters for at least a subset of the employees.
Seriously. I absolutely did not expect someone on this website to lead with "I cannot say black [people] are mentally inferior" as an example of how they are being censored. Usually they reserve that for more private channels, like after they've gotten someone to move to Telegram.
Do you have details on what kind of complaint you filed?

I have an iPhone with a similar problem -- physical SIMs work with any carrier. However, T-mobile ESIM is the only one I've been able to get work. T-mobile insists the phone has no lock and tells me to go to Apple. Apple tells me to go to T-mobile. End result is I can't activate any ESIMs outside of T-mobile's.
For a product built by 2 people it was enough for both of them to retire (albeit humbly) or seed a more ambitious company.

Anyway, their best move was to take the money. They gambled that, even after noticing their work and our customer's feedback, we wouldn't turn around make our product better. They lost that bet.

Meh. Different technologies aren't inherently better or worse than other technologies. They're better or worse for a specific set of circumstances. What I hear Karthikeyan saying is they don't need features ReactJS offers.

Like for instance... Apple Integer BASIC was a GREAT technology if all you had was an Apple ][ with 16k of RAM and were writing programs that interacted with a single user via the keyboard and monitor. If you have an array of hosts serving a web app and it's persistence tier up in someone else's datacenter, Apple Integer BASIC would not be my first choice.

But HTMX with it's conflation of presentation and business logic would also not be my first choice.
You broke the site guidelines badly in more than one place in this thread. I realize you're trying to defend someone's work against what you feel is unfair criticism, but breaking the site guidelines yourself, with swipes and name-calling and flamewar, is exactly the wrong way to do this.

Food and water are not significant obstacles for a rich society. Desalination would increase the price of water from 0.2% of GDP to 2%. Greenhouses produce 1000x as many calories per acre for 10x the price per calorie. (And a 10x of ingredient prices would only double the final cost)
You are extremely biased. I have both owned a Tesla and non Tesla EV. Non Tesla EVs are way more conservative in their range estimates and you can actually beat their estimates. People routinely beat BMWs advertised EPA range - something you will never hear for a Tesla

It's the most straightforward explanation I've found so far. I'd love to hear if anyone's found something better though.
No idea, but I am interested too. One of the reasons this was probably created was because of a network constrained environment where data is expensive in more than one way.

Cloud Providers can be expensive.
Honestly, twice the time it takes to refuel an ICE would be perfectly acceptable. I'd just stretch my legs and use the bathroom while the car charges instead of gassing up the car and then wandering inside.

But I fully agree with you: "Twice the time it takes to refuel an ICE" would mean a roughly 10 minute charge time.

Ask HN: How does this specific Google spam work?
So I was searching for a supplement online, and found a link on the first page of Google to an American university's department of medicine website.

When you click on the cached version it shows what looks like a version that once existed on the department's website with all the spam text. However when you click on the live version on Google it immediately redirects to a different website (which includes different spam text).

This made me wonder how this works. I doubt the spammer still (if they ever did) has access to the university's domain manager (although I suppose this is possible) and redirected the specific url (the one found on Google) from the domain manager. Because if that is what the spammer did, wouldn't it likely already be fixed, given that the cached version of the website is no longer the live version (indicating perhaps that the university recognized they were compromised and fixed the page)?

But if the university fixed the page (i.e. deleted it, as it is an unique URL made specifically for the spam and not a preexisting one), wouldn't they have also probably realized that there is code somewhere on the site causing it to redirect immediately to another domain? Or that someone accessed their domain manager and has a domain redirect set up?

Does it seem like they likely at some point had their spam posted on the live version of the university's website and also had a redirect set up either via the domain manager or code on the site?

Unsure if I am allowed to include the specific link or university's name.
you're the one complaining ;)
