I went down this rabbit hole myself. It's hard because advertising drowns out authentic reviews. Many of the reviewed bags are ridiculously overpriced. That money is spent in marketing wars.

A classic US-made(!) bag that doesn't have an outdoor bottle holder but will work for many people is the MEI Voyageur. They get lost in the noise because they don't appear to pay for ads and fake youtube reviews, but I've carried mine all around the world. Has an excellent hip belt, which is much more important than a laptop compartment. (You can buy a laptop case.)
Yes, you can use the sun to heat up some water or some other fluid and in an abstract theoretical sense you can use the heat in the fluid to produce mechanical energy, but any engine small enough to go into a car or truck capable of providing enough energy to reliably overcoming rolling resistance or to make the car go up a hill is going to need a much denser power source than that.
You have to look at exchange rates and relative incomes if you’re comparing US to Europe. (And a service fee is often tacked on in the UK for table service so it’s not unique to the U.)
I hate that PeaZip does not support passwords with a quotation mark (") in the UI. I haven't reviewed the code, but I am assuming that they are neither passing the password via a variable (linked library) nor via an execve call (less secure), but via some sub-shell which is a common attack vector and bad security practice. But as I said, I haven't reviewed the code.

I think that’s a reasonable argument, but in practice if Unix and C weren’t free it would have meant universities using tools that were closer to free — things like the UCSD p-system would have been more widespread. Different world; possibly a better one, if I’m right, which is unknowable.
> I went to Canada to see the eclipse and was absolutely shocked how cheap it was to go to the grocery store. Not only was the currency conversion in my favor, the prices were reasonable and aligned to what I remember from pre-pandemic times. $200 Canadian had a completely full cart.

Wait, what? As a Canadian I can assure you this is not the case. It is so much different than what you are saying that our generally passive population has undertaken a month long boycott of our largest grocer to protest the outrageous pricing. When I see American prices on social media, I am shocked at how much cheaper prices are, even with currency conversion.

I’d love to know what you thought was cheaper.
Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't intend to say that's what you were saying at all. My hypothetical used the words "you're" and that's just a bad habit of mine, it was not intended to indicate that I thought that you thought that way. I understood what you were saying, and I had no intention of attributing such ill-will to you. I was only trying to explain the logical chain that can lead to the original observation/opinion to be considered a taboo one.

For what it's worth, I'm totally on your side, but I was only trying to illustrate the problems with going down that line of thinking, and why some consider it taboo.

There are some deep problems in the social sciences right now. The fact that some feel reluctant to discuss things they believe to be true is a bad thing in my opinion because it eliminates the opportunity for counter-arguments to be made and considered.

I also think that the arguments on how standardized tests merely test affluence are terrible, and sometimes I feel that actually these arguments are surreptitious ways of ensuring that affluent kids get to still go to school, even if they wouldn't quite do well enough on the exams. The idea that SAT training is a profound effect is a bad one. Studying and prep will improve scores, but not by as much as people seem to think.

I have no position. I only take interest in relaying the state of the world. This is how labor is classified in said world. You will notice that in most jurisdictions, police, not considered labor, are not allowed to form true labor unions. In fact, where they are able to associate, the union is usually formally known as a "Police Association", or similar variant, so that it is not confused with a labor union.

I am not sure how you can disagree with the state of the world. Said state may be relayed with error, perhaps, but recognizing an error in transmission isn't disagreement. Besides, if I had a position, it would be in bad faith to share it anyway.
What?

Renewables are still subject to the laws of thermodynamics and other laws of physics.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_engine#Efficiency

Typical power stations (whether fueld by renewables or not) have efficiencies considerably less than 50% (the examples in this article give 40% efficiency for coal, 48% for nuclear, and 33% for geothermal).

Photovoltaics (not being Carnot-cycle heat engines) aren't subject to these specific limitations, but they have their own problems. Typical efficiencies for current mass-production models are around 20%, while "lab curiosity"-level cells still haven't broken 50%.

Note that this is just the generating side. There are also similar waste heat losses on the consumption side (for example, charging and discharging batteries is anything but 100% efficient, as anyone who's actually tried to use a modern laptop on his lap can attest).

This is only true recently as the interest rate hikes took a while to filter down to actual mortgages and then make it into the CPI numbers. Prior to that, groceries were a huge component of inflation.

I agree that looking around multiple panes is slow and arrow keys are slow, and that typical UI ceremony is unnecessary. But there's a benefit to seeing state changes and holding less state in your head. Kinda like `ed` versus `vim`. Someone comfortable with both editors would acknowledge vim makes some edits easier.

Of course, issuing orders still has its advantages. And yes, growing up with GUIs makes a big difference.
Elves and dwarves didn't strictly mean children's fairy tales prior to Tolkien. There's plenty of semi-popular prior art where they feature, like the Worm Ouroboros or The King of Elfland's Daughter. Poul Anderson also published The Broken Sword the same year as LOTR, which shows a lot of the same influences as written by a very different author.

Tolkien's importance is that the specific kinds of creatures he wrote became the default for virtually all subsequent authors and the popularity/quality of the works were pivotal in establishing fantasy as a "proper" genre.

> No I'm sure you can find clear examples of painting purely for self-expression much earlier than Goya

Name one.

Perhaps one can mention artists like Caravagio and El Greco. But all such artists addressed themes that were common: the bible and the clasiics. The unique thing about the romantic movement was that they placed immediate human experience above god and godliness.

Honestly, check out Goya's black paintings and you will see what I am talking about. I challenge you to find an equivalent precedent.
They are trying to trick you into thinking more taxes (and therefore more government) is a good idea, when the better idea is just enforcing antitrust law again because the problem isnt rich people, its the market power their corporations can exert. Amazon isn't the problem. Amazon being able to exert marketpower to abuse their customers and suppliers is. The solution is outlawing bad practices up to breaking up the market power abusing company if mitigation doesnt seem possible.

also, it is extremely annoying when people mislead by looking at personal income tax without adjuating the effective tax rate up by what has already been paid by the corporation. Dividend and cap gains taxes should be lower because the corp pays tax and how a dollar is earned shouldnt affect the tax paid on it. The goal is for the corp tax plus the dividend/cap gains tax to roughly equal what the tax would be if the person just earned the dollar personally and it largely does that at these rates.
Show HN: Trellis, ETL specifically for unstructured data
Hey HN — We're excited to share Trellis -- Run SQL like queries directly on top of your unstructured data.
We've built an AI engine that turns unstructured data into structured SQL-format based on the schema you define in natural language.

> Plus you cannot find a box of say 1G flash drives as cheep as a box of diskettes were.

Actually, that's close. On AliExpress, you can get 10 1GB USB sticks for about $15. Adjusted for inflation, that's about how much a box of 10 cheap 1.44MB floppies cost in 1990. It became a bit cheaper in the late 90s, but that's about the time CD-R took over for the purpose of handing out stuff.

Of course, these cheap USB sticks are not the most reliable by far, but neither were diskettes, at least for the cheap ones, they were absolutely terrible in that regard.
the substance of the actual allegations that were brought against spone is that she was sending harassing messages to parents, children and to coach. she admitted to sending some of those messages, but denied sending other messages. she was doing that anonymously either from a burner number or from random accounts. she gets convicted of that specifically. but then when interviewed by the op's journalist she denies sending any kind of messages at all.

Spone may not manipulate videos and images, but she definitely collects them. Still, she says she never sent them. “The charges were that she directly sent messages to the minors,” Birch adds. “That never happened. That’s the point.”

But did she send messages to the gym and the parents? There is a long pause. “No,” Spone eventually says.

I’m surprised to hear her say this, given Birch told the Washington Post Spone messaged the parents out of concern for what their daughters had put online. When I point this out, there’s another long pause. “If I said that, I said it,” Birch says, with a shrug. “It is what it is.”

Even if Spone is guilty of sending the five messages, she is innocent of the claims that made her notorious. Sending anonymous and unwelcome text messages is not the same as digitally manipulating images of minors.

in my opinion this is the core of the article. the charges of digitally manipulating images were never brought against her, but she got victimized as a result of police incompetence and a public witch hunt. the article thought tries to paint her entirely as a victim. birch is her lawyer, spone gets convincted on harassment of minors charges, birch claims that such harassment never took place, meanwhile birch and stone can't agree on which messages were sent even when talking to a sympathetic journalist. shouldn't the question of harassment be handled by appeal? instead of the appeal though, they are bring various pain and suffering suits against the county, which is entirely reasonable, but not quite what the article tries to imply.

in my read of the article a nasty busybody harasses people, happens in this kind of communities all the time, but this time the whole thing gets caught in a national witch hunt. the witch hunt is awful, but it lets the nasty busybody play victim across the board.

I wonder if pulsar based navigation is affected (probably not)
I am a cynical and curmudgeonly person so I am usually want to agree with your take, however I think you have missed something critically important:

Most technical people learn by doing. There is value in doing something even if you throw it away, even with hardware in meatspace, because it gains you knowledge and intuition about how the better/established thing works. This knowledge can be golden.

I have a very deep understanding of a lot of systems that most people never touch because they “just work” and are well implemented. I have that understanding exactly because of garbage toy projects (most of which I never shared). This knowledge has made me invaluable in many projects/jobs in my life, because nobody else bothers to understand those systems.

In fact, one of the most obvious (although perhaps not most efficient) ways to do clean room reverse engineering is to treat a system as a modeled black box and try to naively reimplement it using your own assumptions and then benchmark your outputs against the black box model. This reveals significant knowledge about the workings of the black box.

My understanding is that a lot of the reason is simply that Fedora stepped up. With the Arch-based distro, they were in the unfortunate position of working both on everything involved with developing and maintaining an Arch-based Linux distro and on everything related to getting Linux working on these machines (and Arch Linux ARM proved to be a fairly shaky foundation as well). Now, Fedora is taking care of the Linux distro development stuff, and the Asahi team can focus on drivers and what not.

My own experiences with Fedora are mostly positive, both with Fedora Asahi Remix on my Mac laptop and normal Fedora Workstation on my desktop.

Second this assertion or citation is wrong:

>for biological neurons e.g. "it is not uncommon for axonal propagation of action potentials to happen in both directions" - suggesting they are optimized to continuously operate in multidirectional way.

What is true is that dendritic spikes can propagate bidirectionally in some neurons (but can also fade or be blocked).

What we often forget is that spikes are a kludge to enable faster INTRAcellular communication (not needed in retinal processing).

The classic action potential connects the axon hillock (the spike initiation zone) to a variable subset of responsive presynaptic sites that may or may not release neurotransmitters that may or may not modulate behaviors of neighboring processes and cells.

The 3-Clause BSD doesn't NOT release copyright. The copyright holder extends you a perpetual license to redistribute and modify the copyrighted work, provided you adhere to the license. They still hold the copyright. Without them holding the copyright, the 3 clauses would be meaningless, since they'd have no way to enforce them.

Releasing the license is commonly refereed to as "public domain", but it's not actually possible to relinquish the copyright in all territories, and therefore people generally prefer some kind of license.

You do "you" as is your right. But what I hear when I read this is not that there are technical obstacles to the approach under consideration, but rather that there are social obstacles. Using the database this way "isn't how you're supposed to do it." I grant that has been the prevailing view for about thirty years or so, but to me it's unexamined received wisdom that deserves scrutiny every now and then.
This simply is irrelevant. A FOSS licence fully permits what Debian has done here. So, that is beside the point.
For what it's worth, the word "electronic" in that description is a lot more load-bearing than it looks, excluding machines such as the Harvard Mark I (ASCC) and Bell Labs Relay Computers, both of which were solving problems under program control years earlier (unlike the Eniac, which initially had to be rewired for every problem -- stored-program control was added years later).
