I've thought it would be great if there were rentable battery trailers that had an extra full charge or two built in, plus maybe some extra storage.

uHaul could make a killing off of them for people who want to take their EV on a road trip. If you could get 600 miles off of a single combined full charge you would be in the range of reasonable American road trip distance, and you could make the choice to stop and eat and occupy two chargers to get another 480 miles or so out of a 30 minute stop.

I usually clock about 900-1100 miles a day when I'm doing a destination road trip, so I would still chafe at that limit, but it would beat the heck out of sub-300 mile limits between long breaks for me.
A recent Model S would do the trip in a half hour of charging. Maybe whatever generation you had and the chargers at the time weren't the same, but in the EV space you can't assume things stay the same even quarter to quarter much less year to year.

And I do agree, not everyone's needs are fully solved by EVs now and may not in the future. But so many people hear about range being an issue that they assume it is for them, when in reality an absolutely massive chunk of not the majority of passenger cars on the roads can easily be swapped for an with zero negative to the owner's life. But people often actually think they've got to have a car that can go 1,000mi in a single charge otherwise it's just a massive inconvenience even though they may drivea 500mi trip once a year if even that.
If it were on the beach and exposed to the sun and wildly varying daily temperatures, I imagine that there would be some chemical reactions still going on in the bottle.

I'm not a chemist or an alcohol connoisseur though, so I couldn't tell you what that would be, but to my reasoning it would explain why valuable alcohols are kept away from sunlight in temperature controlled rooms or at least underground where the temperatures don't change much.
>I think approximately everybody agrees with these ideals

Maybe in vague theory but in the past several years, every time a cop shoots someone without just cause there are a lot of people defending them. Hell, they get donated millions to defend themselves in court! Strangers send money to a random cop so he can afford expensive legal council to keep him from being guilty of a crime. Surely that can't be read as everyone wants accountability right?

I propose changing the HN headline to just delete that parenthetical, or if you really must keep it, "(Organic Matter)" seems less confusing.

Technically correct. Bing, who powers your search engine, did.
I guess I don’t understand what it means to serve something in this context or how it is relevant.

Not that I was saying that but ok, is there one?

The early 2000's recession, which you would have just missed, brought about a major trend shift that realigned more of tech to Web 2.0 ideas. When good programmers are laid off, they find themselves pushing fundamental parts of the software stack forward that "nobody had time for" before.

So, we are absolutely in for another such shift - the easy money spigots are turned off - but probably in a different direction. It's definitely not the case that the software world has run out of interesting problems.

I think another part of it is the difference in research funding philosophy at Xerox PARC in the 1970s compared to the funding philosophy of most companies and government agencies in the past 20-30 years. Xerox PARC researchers had the rare opportunity to pursue their research interests and not have to worry much about funding, not only for their salaries, but also for the equipment that they needed. In the early years of Xerox PARC researchers didn’t have to constantly justify their work to company executives. It’s amazing what researchers can do with a vision, cash, and little external pressure.

Today such a research environment exists only in our dreams, short of winning a MacArthur Fellowship. Most researchers today work in environments where their direction is heavily influenced by the people funding them. In order for researchers to pursue their own research vision and be paid for it, they must persuade a company or a funding agency that the pursuit of this vision will benefit the funders. Researchers also must justify their research activities and constantly produce deliverables such as patents, publications, and prototypes in order for their performance to be assessed by their funders.

While this more directed form of research has also definitely led to many innovations, the trouble is that only the research that fits the visions of those funding the work gets funded and thus proceeds. However, what about research ideas that don’t meet the interests of companies or government funding agencies? This is one of the reasons why we need to promote curiosity-driven research; society could be missing out on future revolutions in science and technology if our imaginations are limited to what we can imagine today instead of letting exploration take its course.

The fact of the matter is that there are millions of places with loops like for(...) {charAt(i)} so it is by definition useful in practice. If Java had pushed iterators more strongly, perhaps it would be possible to make the switch.
Yeah, honey locusts are pretty wicked; their thorns have thorns. I first met them on a trip to Utah, where they commonly occur in urban settings. They aren't native to Utah, so I imagine some brilliant city planner must have really hated the idea of children climbing trees. Which doesn't really explain the delicious mulberry trees of a similar age that I encountered.
I've been following this guy on twitter and it seems like he's kind of jumped the gun twice at this point. Was really quick to celebrate the new superconductor, and now he's convinced it's over. I think we just need to wait for replication attempts
I understand that you need these to be a full "search engine".

What we really want to know is if for links alone - what extent do you index? Let's ignore the knowledge graph, let's say we just want a simple word match.

I'm surprised you didn't have techdirt's homepage indexed at all. "techdirt" did not return "techdirt.com". To me this means you aren't indexing the home pages for popular websites at all - let alone their content - and rely effectively exclusively on bing with maybe some "caching".

Talking about links alone - exact word matches with the domain name (or page content other than your knowledge graph), what do you index?

What specifically do you do other than adding sites manually to a list and I assume "caching bings results"? To me this would still be 99.999999% ~= 100% reliant on bing for search results.

This isn't meant to be an attack in anyway, I'm just looking to clarify what's going on.
Modern GFCIs are kind of a wonder-device, in that they prevent bad wiring but also make other types of bad wiring safe - you're much better off putting an UNGROUNDED GFCI in instead of miswiring a 3 prong outlet or adapter in an ungrounded box. It's my go-to now to "fix" two prong outlets.

HN is now subject to astroturfers? The comments in here are insane
NIH has shifted in meaning over time. It used to literally mean Not Invented Here.

In the original sense, the NIH approach would be to invent a rivalling technique to the message broker. That is indeed a questionable idea.

Could be a standard workflow to many designers.

At least for new products. But I think some of these steps can be forgotten in established products. Many teams find themselves building features stakeholders asked, and DT can help going back to discovering what users actually want

However this can also backfire and good independent ideas can be shut down because they weren't found in the first 2 steps of the Design Thinking process.

With DT thinking "solution first" is kind of forbidden.
That was indeed my interpretation of that half of the conversation. That they were claiming that the axle is suspended (tension increases with downforce) by the spokes above the midline of the circle, which is what Brandt vehemently contended was false.
Physical SIMs can also be and are segregated to a specific network e.g. it’s still possible to buy only 3 or 4G SIMs that are cheaper heck until recently even 2G only SIM packages were a thing.

As far as the other problems go it’s the same with physical SIMs again.

Nearly all physical SIMs today are provisioned OTA so it quite often can take 24-48 hours for your physical SIM to activate especially if you migrate your number between carriers.

The only way to get an “instant” SIM provisioning is to go to a large physical store even the smaller ones are pretty much the same as getting the SIM delivered to your house i.e. they take you through the same phone/internet based activation and provisioning process.

You’re also wrong about the internet requirement the provisioning system for eSIM does not require internet on the device for access the QR code is essentially an authentication code that combined with the IEMI allows you to register with a carrier.

You usually do need an internet connection on another device to get the QR code in the first place but if you can also use a checkout terminal or just get a paper print out of the QR.
A summary to motivate reading the paper:

Invar, a nickle-iron alloy, was commercially highly relevant for accuracy of mechanical watch balance springs in the 19th century. Investigations of that presumably lead to the 1920 Nobel in physics.

The article claims to produce the first equation to model this effect accurately, together with an experimental technique to validate the main components. This would support in-silico material exploration, esp. predictions for high temperatures that induce expansion.

But because this demonstrates phase shifts in how electrons interact, the significance could be broader that just the use of constant-size invar (iron/nickel alloy).

Paper excerpts:

----

Here we use a thermodynamic Maxwell relation to explicitly separate the contributions to thermal expansion from phonons and spins. [...] These two contributions were measured by nuclear resonant X-ray scattering on Invar under pressure. We find that a competition with phonons is necessary to complete the explanation of the near-zero thermal expansion of Invar.

An advantage to [our] equation is that the two main components of thermal expansion—phonon and magnetic—can be experimentally obtained by nuclear resonant X-ray scattering

Excellent agreement between experiment and theory is found. There is a remarkable spin–lattice coupling, and a precise cancellation of the phonon and spin contributions that causes the anomalously low thermal expansion in Invar near ambient conditions of T and P. Furthermore, the transition to a more typical thermal expansion at higher pressures is shown to arise from the magnetic transition to the paramagnetic state that quenches the negative contribution from the spin system. Finally, the electronic contribution is found to have only a small effect on thermal expansion.

Electric bicycles baby.
That’s because it fundamentally doesn’t actually impact all that much.

By most people’s account, the actual coding part of programming isn’t really a majority of their time. Domain research, speccing, debugging, testing, planning, etc. the microscopic savings in key presses are just really such a strange thing to even debate about when you think about it.

Major tersness pushes also tend to cause “symbol soup” and, personally, I find symbol soup very hard to digest.
Sorry, I was talking about the data.
In other words, you’re seeing results that Bing wants you to see unless it raises a big enough stink for DDG to manually override. They default to being a wrapper for Bing.

Edit: Since you edited, no one is arguing that their whole spiel isn’t about privacy. What I’m saying is that they refuse to admit that they’re a privacy wrapper around Bing which would make their value proposition quite weak. They puff their chest and pretend to be a big standalone player in the market but they aren’t. You aren’t at the whims of DDG as a user, but at those of Bing/Microsoft. If you’re cool with that, carry on, but I’m not going to let yegg continue to make vague statements uncontested. If they’re so sketchy and dishonest about their role in deciding the links, what else are they dishonest about? Some of you let a lot slide because they’re the underdog.
These problems are already solved for very high end aftermarket exhaust systems, which use Inconel.

The kind of person who is unwilling to be a cop without qualified immunity is 100% not the person who should be allowed to be a cop.

No other job in the US, including ones that can cause negligent death and send you to prison, has qualified immunity. If a cop can't do their job without breaking the law, something is very wrong with the law or their job description.

>dangerous, low-paid job

It is not even remotely either of these. Cops die less on the job than sanitation workers. Most cop deaths (excluding when covid was the primary cause) are caused by car accidents. Is the police union attempting to stop car chases which have shown to be dangerous and ineffective?
What are the tradeoffs you're putting up with given the alternatives? Chrome-- data collection galore...
The previous statement seems to answer that reasonably well.

Then how do you explain what we see? Tech Dirt disappears from both Bing and DDG indexes at the same time. Google, meanwhile, has 136 thousand pages indexed on techdirt.com domain
Google's black box ad optimization stuff probably links you with the doctor via your searches for them and then links the doctor's searches about your conditions to you based on your own related searches, or do they have safeguards for this?
That only works if all SO contributors band together and make decisions as a collective bloc. At the moment you are only speaking for yourself. Most others who add value to the platform are going to keep doing so regardless.
They can do better, however, it takes time and effort to do that - they can and do augment Bing results with other data sources when needed, but up until recently there was no need to add anything extra with respect to Techdirt; it certainly makes no sense to index all of the internet and try to duplicate all the search results for every search just in case Bing has filtered something out.

> at this time Windows doesn't have a workable app-level RA implementation

To make this work, I suppose it will finally be necessary for Windows to disallow all user-space code injection (e.g. in-process hook DLLs), including from assistive technologies. I guess this tightened security could be a per-app opt-in feature, at least initially. UI Automation on Windows 11 may finally be ready to take over the work that in-process injected DLLs (particularly from screen readers) previously did without performance regressions, though as far as I know, this hypothesis hasn't really been tested yet (or if it has, that happened inside the Windows accessibility team at Microsoft after I left). The trick will be to give the third-party screen reader developers a strong incentive to prioritize moving away from third-party code injection, without harming end-users in the process (i.e. not suddenly releasing a browser or OS update that breaks web browsing with screen readers).

What other changes or API additions do you think will be necessary to enable workable app-level RA on Windows?
Why do you suspect this is T-Mobile's fault? It's equally probable they are the only carrier with an eSIM provisioning system that actually works.

>My assumption being if you use the same sleep/active cycles between transmit or receive, then you should see similar battery life? Is that not the case?

I don't get your question. Use the same sleep/active cycles for what? If you're asleep you use almost no power. If you do CPU processing in that time you will sue more power. But do CPU processing for what? Most battery powered IOT widgets don't usually do any CPU heavy application, they just collect regular sensor data and forward it to a base station which forwards it to some cloud service. And any way, any modern ARM core consumes much less power in operation than a RF recover or transmitter which are the big gas guzzlers in this case.
Dabbling in gamedev as a teenager definitely numbed my enjoyment of video games as an adult.

What would you do if you genuinely believe you'd discovered something as potentially important?

1) Get paranoid, figure out where you've gone wrong

2) Kicked it as hard as we can, can't find a problem. So...

3a) Keep this potentially important result under our hats for as long as it takes

3b) publish it with with some risk of embarassmment, and - hopefully - get others to either verify the result or point out where we went wrong.

I'd always go for b) - after strenuous effort to falsify my own theory.

Of course, some people - scientists are not an exception, just less susceptibl to it - can't bear to abandon a lovely result.
It seems like this shouldn't be a hard concept to explain to software devs. We're knowledge workers. The company hires us for our knowledge (knowing how to tell a computer what to do) and then retains us mostly for our knowledge (understanding the resulting code), so that when that knowledge is necessary, it doesn't need to be recreated.
The real question is what extent do they index sites themselves?

If they're manually adding a entry for "insert site here", maybe some "caching" of bing's results for the biggest most common searches then IMO that's still 99.999999% ~= 100%
It's a very interesting effect, magnetism 'perfectly cancelling' out thermal expansion.

You could probably via ebtables as they inspect ethernet frames directly. That can be used for example to not allow VMs on host to spoof mac addresses.

But easiest way is just don't allow app to run with permission to access raw socket. That's it.

The problem is really that there is no way to get UDP interface that also gives you mac address of the packet so raw sockets are only way to do it.

Similarly there is no interface to send ICMP packets other than raw sockets.
If you are a tourist for a few days then I understand completely not wanting to waste time looking for a local SIM.

On the other hand, if you are a regular visitor to a country, or you are meeting a local who can hook you up, or you are staying for a while, then it may be worth getting a local SIM. Some countries make it easy, others make it difficult. In UK for example it’s very easy to get a SIM and the local prices are about half of Airalo (which doesn’t seem to offer an unlimited data plan).
