If Magnus Carlsen runs around lying and killing people, I don't need to play 4-D chess better than him to judge him.
Wow. Talk about over-reliance on mechanized, industrial-scale systems...
Telegram has always felt like the catch-up of the messenger apps. I don't know a single person who uses it.
And yet you didn't make an attempt to name a single one. If there are it shouldn't be this hard to provide an example. Could it be that they're all so forgettable that they're completely gone from your mind five seconds after you scroll past them?

Show HN: I made a highly opinionated web builder
Hey folks,

This is my longest and most complex side-project, which took me approximately ~500 hours of work.

- Background
I like front-end programming but don't like the process of web design. Implementing design in Figma and then reworking it in HTML feels redundant.
I want to skip Figma if possible. A solution to streamline that process would be a web builder, I thought. But a web builder like Webflow feels so
much more complicated, they GUI-fied every CSS rule. Everything become sliders and buttons just to set a few line of CSS.

Framer is a better alternative than Webflow, but still, sometimes I can't figure out how to do things that are usually so trivial in CSS. Not to
mention that it also doesn't support exporting code.

- Solution
I just want a web builder that's basically just text editor but with a few of DX improvements. I think it would be a good idea to couple something
like this with a utility-first CSS framework like TailwindCSS. Sure, some people hate Tailwind, but I've been sold to the idea of utility-first CSS
since before Tailwind era (using Tachyons). It really improves my dev velocity and I think it can be improved further if there's a better tool that
interface with it. That's why I made Rakit Studio. You should really check that out. It's free, basically like JSFiddle but crafted specifically
for creating web pages with TailwindCSS.

Feedback is really appreciated.

Cheers and have a happy day! :D

6 wait states seems awfully slow, how come it takes so long to address memory on the card?
The fine structure constant is dimensionless and would be different if c were different. When doing a unit conversion, one also has to alter other constants so as to be consistent with observed reality; whether one alters other constants or not is the difference between talking about a change in units and a change in c.

Probably not exactly the same side and orientation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libration#Lunar_libration: “over time, slightly more than half (about 59% in total) of the Moon's surface is seen from Earth due to libration”

How can you speak for all of EU?

There's ways to make life for small-entrepreneurs easier.

I need this kind of deregulation. Example, i m taking microtransactiosn for my game. Giving out VAT invoices for all of them is an impossible task. You need to account for the different VATs in the area (and how they change over time). The cost of the accountant for all this would be many times more than the tiny amounts of the transactions. So i have outsourced the money collection to a US-based merchant-of-record who withholds a large cut and pays out once.

I think a lot of people can point to friction like this in all the places. This has nothing to do with "rughless growth by investor money", but with common sense. There is too much BS work going on in europe, much more than should be allowed

That's fine. The idea is to record them with lot of metadata in situ. Recording what is going on with the whales.

And also about their surrounding (sea state, surface weather, position and activity of boats, prey animals etc etc.)

You might as well be a compatibilist. Yes, it looks like free will exists and the universe is deterministic, consequently free will is compatible with determinism. Then you can realize that the myth that free will is incompatible with determinism is just a superstition.
Nothing in this world is black and white. Nothing is 100% renewable.

Renewables are a classification that generally only implies that there’s no material that is spent/burned/fully degraded during normal daily operation. And of course you can recycle some of the materials at end of life.

How much depends on our technology. We don’t really know how recyclable the solar panels we produce today are because they will be recycled with the technology we have in 20-30 years. I suspect we will be able to recycle almost 100% by then. There are already companies that have processes that can get very high recycling rates at a decent cost today. And I think all the technology around processing/reprocessing materials will improve exponentially in the coming decades, because most of the capital that went to oil/gas will go in that direction instead going forward. The success of countries will not be based on how much oil they can get their hands on, but on how much useful materials they have and how well they can recycle them.

I think countries that don’t transition EVs now are making a huge mistake simply because the wealth of countries in a couple of decades will be measured in no small part by how much copper is within the country, since that will determine how much the country can do in terms of transportation and industry.

Ratios only matter in vibrations (frequencies) because the vibration is a non-uniformity within a period. Translational speed isn't like that.

The main point of special relativity (Lorenz transform) is that it is a mapping between [0, c] and [0, infinity], so ratios to speed of light are not absolutely definable. Light has infinite speed in its own reference frame.

For me to understand what you mean here, I'm going to need examples... for the stuff I work on, the things you are saying here are verifiably impossible.

There is no possible way to
1. get a complete picture
2. understand all the constraints

because we pull data from the real world, and the real world is constantly changing, and we still don't even have a single theory of everything in physics.
There is some (I think valid) belief that the IPCC is an overly conservative (not in the right-wing sense) political committee who are as concerned with optics as they are science and do not want to sound doomerish themselves (and that makes sense to me). But their best path scenarios assume that we'd be drawing down carbon emissions steeply by now and beginning carbon sequestration programs (which don't seem to be developing fast enough) in the near future. As I said, given that we just experienced the largest ever increase in year-over-year CO2 levels, it seems we are still going in the opposite direction. Even the IPCC has said that the consequences of exceeding 1.5C temperature anomaly are dire, and we are clearly going to do that. And so they move the goalpost to 2C (again, I can't fault them for that).

I've followed the science rather closely and what becomes clear is that we just can't understand the climate system in its vast complexity; it's quite possible that there are dragons lurking that could cause a cascade of feedback loops that end very badly for humanity.

I suppose I'm just wired differently than most; it seems that others believe that because there is ambiguity in projections, they can just assume that all will work out. Many seem to believe that god or some force will watch out and protect them. I wish I had this belief as well.

I don't know whether it makes physical sense. There are other fundamental constants, too. Changing just "c" might lead to stuff like "atoms can't exist" or "the universe as we understand it would not evolve," etc. Or, not.

Changing "c" is different from just changing your units.
> I think people get the wrong idea by measuring P(X is good | people are excited about X) and finding it to be low. But P(X is good | people are not excited about X) is vastly lower

Only if you're including things that don't exist. If you restrict yourself to things that people might conceivably talk about, that probability is actually very high, for the simple reason that bad things are exciting specifically because they are bad.

Here are some boring things:

- bread

- sunlight

- air

Note that starvation, darkness, suffocation, dehydration, and being orphaned are all much more exciting than their opposites.
I use it since 2014 and have felt that it's very performant (more so than Signal or Whatsapp, Messenger, or Viber).

It looks like the graphic at the top has 3 more years. It looks like "big down", "up", "up". The last point is 2020 and is slightly bigger than 2017, but it may be noise or some effect of covid-19. I agree that it would be interresting to see more data after all states use the new method, but the change of methodology is a possible explanation. In particular, because the new methodology includes death during one year, that are easy to be ignored if there is no checkbox.

Is the data split state-by-state available? It may be interesting to analyze it.
I don't know the whole of the compatibilism arguments but they're just defining a moral framework within which you're still accountable. It doesn't say that free will is real.

It can all be broken down as follows:

Rewind time by a certain amount where the entire universe is exactly as it was at that instant. Start the replay. Do you make all the exact same choices, is the universe exactly the same when we get back to the present time?

If the answer is yes, then most people will accept that rejects the most common understanding of free will.

If the answer is no, then by what mechanism were different choices made? How did the neurons in your brain fire differently to make different choices? It must be random. And if it is just random, then that, to me (and many others) also rejects the most common understanding of free will.

But, that doesn't reject the idea of accountability within this system, because accountability is the feedback that directs the neurons to fire in a certain manner to make choices that soiciety prefers. If there was no accountability, no punishment for behaviour that was harmful to other individuals, it would not have good outcomes. So the system creates accountability. It must, because that accountability is part of the physical process by which choices are made.
...and explain why you think it's good.

This part is important since I'm still yet to see evidence that the AI artist is capable of thinking more deeply than "(full_body:1.2) , best quality, (8k, RAW photo, best quality, masterpiece:1.2) , (realistic, photo-realistic:1.4) , ultra-detailed, (Kpop idol) , perfect detail, looking at the viewer, makeup, pretty South Korean lady wearing a bathing suit, wet skin, light reflections, angelic cute face, half body shot, short brownish black hair".

Oh and I also use it for messaging sometimes. But my main use case is participating in various groups, like in a forum way. And my peer group does the same and I have not met a single person that uses telegram mainly for messaging. Most also have signal or whatsapp for that.
Given the location of Telegram's servers (Dubai), and the nature of the government (neutral dictatorship) and the lack of encryption, my default assumption would be that not only are they selling access to your data to major governments, they've probably even streamlined the bidding process.

> Why is there a need to have specialists just to interface with one's local government

True, in theory you shouldn't need it. And more than current officials, there's a lot of legislation that is to blame, but this is besides the point.

You consult with specialists because they know how to pick the best option for you and how to do it without wasting time. I'm all for DIY but sometimes you'll just bang your head trying to do it alone.

Of course, sodium can be used in its metal form directly to produce electricity in a fuel cell e.g. as described in US3730776A (https://patents.google.com/patent/US3730776A/en). The fuel cell does not require any special materials, however it still is a challenge to construct from the engineering point of view. Also, the proposed design can be greatly improved with additional knowledge about the reactions occurring.
The resulting sodium hydroxide solution can be recycled using the well known Castner process, the "waste" hydrogen resulting from both reactions can be used as fuel or for other industrial processes.

Btw. the energy density of sodium metal is 3694 Wh/kg and 3555 Wh/litre - so an order of magnitude more. Also, the advantage of decoupling capacity from power is dramatic. Of course, you can also split the process of storing and releasing of energy which can be an advantage. Last but not least, sodium in its metal form is not hard to store or to transport. At ~100°C it becomes liquid and therefore even easier to transfer using regular steel pipes.
Yes, afaik the whole point of all this tech is that it is compromised by design and intended to allow agencies/governments/corporations fine grained access to each individual.

A phone number is still required for registration. As of a few weeks, it's not necessarily communicated to your contacts anymore, which solves a few concerns (but not all).

I was worried about this, but I use Signal daily and I haven't even noticed anything in the UI about this, it seems like a non event in the end.
So the entire argument for "Telegram isn’t a secure messenger, full stop." is that E2EE is opt-in?

Its negotiable and its 2min, not 90 seconds.

The "management" time taken to write it down and pick it up again later is not worth the effort.
