Being the "fun" guy is cool up until about the age of 25, and even then you aren't really taken seriously in the dating world.

After that, a potential mate will take the stable, serious guy 9 times out of 10.
It's funny because it's true.

Instantly took me back to the late 90s. I remember trying to optimize images for 16k colors, and dealing with all the weird, disparate javascript versions.
The question is still what’s more efficient and cheaper. If storing a huge amount of liquid hydrogen in a tank and using a % of it to keep it liquid is cheaper than the methanol infrastructure and its multiple conversions, then it will succeed.
How does the peanut gallery feel about Sleep Number beds? What about Purple and others of its ilk? I have never tried any of these, but I am evaluating new mattresses and don't want to spend money on something massively overpriced.
and the WSJ is one of those subscription companies that uses dark patterns. When I had WSJ ~2 years ago, there was a separate page for people living in California where you could click to cancel, and everyone else had to jump through hoops.

Glad the FTC is going after this nonsense [1].

Live TV from Apollo 11 had a huge cultural impact. People who were born before the Wright Brothers flier watched the moon landing on live TV. They had an incredible sense of Progress that we seem to have mostly lost.

NB: much as I disagree with Dang's rationale here, HN mods almost never flag or remove comments, HN readers do. Mod actions typically show as "deleted" AFAIU (something I've had explained to me repeatedly by dang but cannot keep straight).

That said: HN's policy of strongly deprecating discussions of political hot potatoes does mean that HN has a de facto status quo bias, which is problematic in general and in this case specifically, as the issue raised in the flagged comment upstream is assuredly material for some Apple employees objecting to Apple's ultimatum.

If you want to build this IRL, take cues from the MuteMagic. I wrote a paragraph of suggestions, but then clicked through to the MuteMagic and realized it was 80% of what I imagined. All you need is an IR blaster that can be aimed at a TV receiver; no remote stealing should be necessary for most TVs. Wouldn't be terribly hard to do with Arduino/Raspberry Pi either, if you want a fun weekend project.

As for the advertisement detection... that's the hard part. You'd need a well-tuned solution that doesn't break on scene transitions or channel switching. Definitely an easier project than it sounds though, and I recommend looking into that stuff if it interests you =)
> There's no efficient / cost-effective way to extract lithium from spent batteries for reuse in new batteries. We might in the future but it would require some scientific advances + expensive commercialization to scale up.

It's already 95% efficient.

No fundamental scientific advances are needed.

It's already being scaled commercially.

One example:

I also do not like "crypto", but I do not think this type of restriction is great on a paid service. Maybe, maybe it could be argued for public repositories. Or if it was free. But like, why does Drew DeVault care that I would have a private repository with "explicit sexual content"? On an account I pay for?

And even if you agree with the current set of restrictions, are you sure it will not be further expanded? I am not.

You can’t break ads without breaking Google.

It’s like an Oil Rich Nation. Pumping oil is the only thing they know. They’ll build shiny cities, crazy buildings, and fund moonshots. But nothing else will compare to the profits of oil/ads, so nothing else can possibly matter.

The only big oil economy that isn’t totally dependent on their energy industry is the US, and only because we had other natural resources that allowed us to diversify early.

To divest Google from ads they need another source of infinite cash. If you can discover that, it’s way more valuable to you on its own instead of within Google. Maybe they can find a few thousand smaller side businesses to supplement revenue, but they’ll always be individually disposable (as we see now) and subject to cancellation.
I think people are getting hung up on the wrong things.. stoicism advocates for either actually changing/controlling the thing, or not worrying about it.

More often than not, people are caught in the in-between where the spend absurd amount of time worrying about a specific problem but are unwilling/unable to take the action to resolve that issue.

The other side of that is that sometimes things happen to you for which you have no control. An inoperable brain tumor, the weight of the death of a friend, your company going under, etc. in those moments, all you can ask for is to handle those situations with grace, virtue, and reason. And how you handle those situations (those uncontrollable ones) is completely on you.

(Anecdotally, a friend of mine, who identifies as an adherent to stoic philosophy just organized his workplace and lead the unionization effort! He felt like he had the tools and power to help organize and make the changes in his work place! we told him that it was impossible/improbable and he's proved us all wrong.)

Be the change you want to see in the world.
The core disappointed with credit cards and also banking in general in the US, is the existance of a company called Plaid--which generated $170 million of revenue in 2020 parsing transaction data.

There should be a standard interface to pull transaction data without having to rely on a third party as it rapes your privacy.

Notably, this apparently exists in EU.
probably the wrong way?

Some of these comment are sickening.

Check out Jeffrey "JB" Straubel's new company, Redwood Materials[1][2]. They recycle lithium-ion batteries. He was Tesla's former chief technology officer.

They are essentially a lithium mine that's using a very high quality ore, ground-up batteries.

There are other companies doing this as well. [3]

The continuous power though is actually quite minuscule in this context. NASA has a lot of test data published, e.g. for their 125 000 liter storage tank, the heat ingress in 24 h is 7.2 kWh while the energy content of the hydrogen in the tank is 290 000 kWh.

What is being proposed for energy storage is signficiantly larger than this, and then the square-cube-law gives even less heat ingress as compared to the energy of the tank contents.
We're not asking you to expose yourself or anyone else to any danger.

But you must realize that without going into more detail, we honestly have no idea what you're trying to communicate.

I read your post, and I still don't understand what the war, and embargoes on Russia, have to do with an open source project changing how they do things. From reading other comments here, other people are also confused.
Well, you don't have to check it _immediately_. I think as long as it's visible and you see in O(days) it would serve its purpose.
That the social and communication tools they prefer are not the tools you prefer does not mean they are asocial.
I adore Gitea. 99% of the stuff I keep there is private code, where Gitea is basically an SSH-able Git remote. However, I occasionally want to share a project with a friend, and then it's trivially easy to invite them to collaborate with me using the same infrastructure I was already using.

Minus that last part, I'd just stick with plain Git. It's everything I need for my own personal, only-for-me projects.

I got into making games around that age, back in the mid 90s. I used a tool called Klik and Play which didn't require any coding, everything was visual. It really clicked with me, I had a lot of fun and learned a great deal.

Klik and Play is ancient history now, but the company that made it is still around, might be worth a look: https://www.clickteam.com/

Who cares if they are ancient; they work with ease and they are easy to set up and backup, something the gen-z misses terribily and fails to understand over and over reinventing the wheel.
No. I want a speed limiter, something that means I can drive freely and worry about my high speed, not something that keeps the car going even when I take my foot off the gas.

I mean, I guess that might be better than Tesla's randomly slowing down then unexpectedly accelerating again mess, but a simple limiter is far better. The Tesla even has one, but you can't activate it or change it's speed except by going into the valet menu and assigning a PIN. It needs to be adjustable while you are driving with the controls on or around the wheel so that you can set it when the speed limit changes.
Is that “in fact”? I would argue that quality is relative, and when your comparison point is, “no access” you may consider access in any form to be of “superior” quality.

Overall I reject the negative attitude towards brands who have seemingly “gotten worse” over time in the same way I accept newcomers to the gym. Goods becoming more available (people using the gym) is a good thing, even if my personal experience gets marginally worse (access to equipment decreases).

That's just daft though. Defining women and men in terms of clothing, haircuts and other adornments is awfully regressive. It's like 1950s-style sexist stereotyping all over again.
The Gulf Stream and generally just being close to the ocean has a massive effect at making the climate a lot more mild in the North Atlantic.

Not only that, but due to the way the winds move in the US places like Minnesota and the Dakotas also tend to get absolutely hammered from the jet stream by arctic air.
Maybe I'm unusually anal retentive about this, but I have every bank account, PayPal, Venmo, both credit cards, every brokerage, 401(k), HSA, IRA, mortgage, everything... in Quicken, which I check every single day. 1. Start Quicken, 2. Hit Update, 3. Get Coffee, 4. Review everything in boldface to make sure it's not a surprise.

I have the next month worth of bills and paychecks "below the line" as future transactions, so not only can know what's in my checking account today, but I know exactly, to the penny what will be in my checking account on 18-Feb.

I've in the past found credit card fraud/mistakes within a day of being charged, and have fixed them quickly, before even my next paper statement was printed.

Some friends I know don't have any idea how much is in any of their accounts outside of occasionally seeing a number on an ATM receipt. They might have a budget, but no idea how much all their monthly charges add up to in reality. And yea, they always seem to be forgetting about some subscription or charge. I couldn't live like that--not for me.

From @roelschroeven's post [1], rolling during landing was part of the design. It's possible it didn't roll as expected, though, blocking the solar panels. However the fact they were able to separate the rovers makes it seem like it could be a technical issue with the panels instead.

You're able to actually translate the language? I assumed it was not decipherable and you just have to figure it out from the parts that are translated, trial and error, and interpolating/extrapolating.

My feeling is that like in 2001 it would have been valuable to get people to switch to a non-extendable hash by default because people were freelancing their own MACs, but sometime in the intervening 2 decades people switched fully over to HMAC, so that if you're dealing with someone who is literally writing their own prefixed key hash MAC, you've got bigger problems than Merkle Damgard.

The 8086 was a stopgap, to have something to sell until the 432 was finished. Maybe they wanted it to be an evolutionary dead end, and 16MB address space was too dangerous? Notice also how the 80186 was PC incompatible.
I feel that during the last two decades only Java and .NET ecosystems have come close to the experience, including Android and Powershell/Windows/.NET into the mix, naturally with caveats and plenty of "yes but" counter arguments.

I consider a lost opportunity not to have turned ChromeOS into a kind of Smalltalk like experience with a mix of Flutter/Dart.

Naturally one can argue Common Lisp experience with Franz and Lisp Works, Raket, or Smalltalk, are the closest to the Lisp Machine ideas, but their mainstream opportunity is now lost.
I get the concern. At the same time, when my card was stolen last year, it was helpful to not have to update my billing info on 8,000 different vendor websites or risk having an account cancelled. I think tying a credit card to an account number versus an account as an entity is becoming somewhat antiquated.

Not sure if it's still the case but it used to be that if you changed your address to California you could cancel online since IIRC it's a law there.

I have this memory of having to do that to get rid of the wsj after I made the fatal mistake of forgetting to cancel after a trial.
Alternative headline: People who actively use their subscriptions are being subsided buy those who don't. If you use the gym a lot be grateful people are paying that don't. If they did, the gym would have no room.

While bits based subs are not quite the same, still holds that if people who don't need that sub any more cancelled then others would probably pay more.

Have you ever dreamt of your phone, something you hold onto and interact for goes at a time? You don't dream cell phones because (to your mind) they don't exist. They'rea boring box. Instead they are like the wardrobe to Narnia, a portal. Its what's through the glass that we're interested in.

With that perspective I finally understand why people spend $1000 to get a faster, bigger phone. Their reality's lag, and how much of it they can see is tied to that update.
Ah yeah. The good ole' storage unit scam. They all raise the prices about every 6 months. I just rent a U-Haul for a day and move it to a new place. And it forces me to throw things away that I truly don't need. Over the years, the amount of stuff I have has been shrinking and I have less to move.

Rinse and repeat every now and then.
This article looks like rampant speculation about which differences between Teslas and other vehicles would cause the observed crash disparity. Some other society-level stats which might be of interest:

(1) Tesla drivers skew heavily male (70+%), and male drivers are much higher risk (2-3x, though not as dramatically different when older)

(2) Tesla drivers skew upper-middle class, the Tesla itself isn't cheap, and people who drive more expensive cars tend to drive worse (could be confounded by gender or other factors, but when uncorrected it's a correlation that exists).

(3) Teslas are insanely heavy. Pickup trucks have higher crash rates than sedans too.

And so on. Is there a better version of this article that tries to study why there are more crashes rather than just guess?
Except it would be if you just drove it around a city. So which number should they use

Almost anything is better. Wealth tax, regulations, minimum wage, anti trust laws, land tax, whatever. Just don't do price controls unless you're correcting for market failure. They're objectively bad.
In the end, unless you're down with having the cabin be freezing during your drive, you're going to spend a good bit of energy warming the car. This energy was "free" in an ICE, but it has to come from somewhere in an EV, and that somewhere is the same place as where you get your range energy.
Got it - this is an oligarchy where the laws are used post facto to justify your own personal views. Essentially, one doesn't have rights because they are subjected to the whims of a few, undermining one of the main purposes of laws and process.

I'm assuming it's not a giant 15M ton chunk of (highly reactive) metal in the ground, but rather they took a bucket of dirt, analyzed it, and extrapolated how much lithium is available in the ground. My question is, how much "earth" do they need to dig up and refine to extract this amount of lithium?
I'm reminded of my great granddad telling me when they first used cars to deliver mail in the rural US. He told me the first winter he would often harness Nellie instead of trying to take the new car out when it got wintry.

I think that true global reserves are much higher than what we know now.

Before, Lithium was important, but not nearly in the quantities needed for EV's. Now that EV's have picked up, more people will be looking for Lithium, and that will make all the difference.

Hans Reiser was convicted of first degree murder. It was premeditated, not a crime of passion. He ruthlessly planned it and executed the murder of his wife. Only because of a plea deal was he sentenced to a second degree.

I bought a 3-4 DVD set of Debian Sarge with near everything.

Autopay is evil. I have nothing on autopay.

Instead, I have a monthly reminder to pay my bills every month, with a list of all the bills/sites that need to be paid. There's 11 things in the list, but not all of them have a balance every month. I do this towards the end of the month (instead of at the beginning of the month), so that I can include rent in it too, and pay _everything_. It lets me see whether my spending is creeping up and gives me an opportunity to cancel useless stuff. It doesn't take long (5-30 mins depending on how detailed I'm being).
