But a 100ml beaker would only require 10W

1. Control over the value 2. Control over inflation 3. Free trade
Russia has chosen to just go for one of the trifecta, and have lost all trade and has skyrocketing inflation - but manages to keep the ruble trading high for propaganda purposes as it's seen as the "quick way to measure" an economy.
1914 saw large imperialist empires on both sides. There were no real "good guys" in that war, as both sides were looking to either keep and consolidate power over colonial empires (the Entente) or break up the colonial empires to get some for themselves (the Germans and Austrians).
1939 saw an ambitious despot attack democracies to brutally subjugate them. That is also what we are seeing now.
1) There are now so many people who would be seen as geniuses 150 years ago that they drown each other out, leaving little space in the spotlight for someone to gain the culture defining attention a genius in 1850 might have gotten.
2) In addition, the culture that would be defined by such a genius is now several orders of magnitude more complex than it was in 1850. That means getting everyone to agree on anything is a much harder feat now, much less to get the zeitgeist to agree someone is a genius. (Just look at people like Gates, Jobs and Musk - just as quickly as they are seen as geniuses by one part of the culture, another part wants to drag them down again).
The alternative is to let him repeat 1939.
The lesson learned should be that if you don't stop the thug with force, then he will eventually become strong enough to stop you.
That said, you can easily buy a simple analog alarm for a few bucks.
The last years, my Facebook feed has been completely dominated by a few groups I'm in (OK, I guess - but not what I signed up for originally), news and commercial entities I have "liked" at some point, and ads.
I never see my friends there any more, unless they're the marketing hustle type. It feels honestly not entirely unlike LinkedIn, which is not a compliment.
As a test, I visited some of my better friends profiles to see if they have posted anything lately. None had. For YEARS. All their content has moved either to Instagram or Snapchat, or they have just stopped posting altogether.
But my group of friends still use Facebook as our primary Event invitation system, and roughly everyone has FB Messenger (as that's the standard here in Norway).
I think it simply is because very few people would describe in text a white couple as a "white couple" and not just as a "couple". In a majority white culture there is no reason to specify skin colour when both are white. It's just a couple.
On the contrary, I think it would be very normal to write "black and white couple" for an interracial couple, and because "black and white" also contains "white" thus those images would show up when you search for "white couple".
This is easy to verify by looking for the word "white" around the images Google returns for "white couple", and they are definitely there - often in the image title itself.
However, if you just search for "couple" then you'll find what you are looking for. At least on my google 9 out of 10 results are a white couple.
It's usable for almost all government agencies or official stuff online here, but I haven't seen anyone use it for third party auth as it costs roughly 10 cents per login for the service using it.
It's only recently that parts of the progressive movement has radicalized.
It's based on net worth, not income. But net worth of billionaires is incredibly inflated by the way we measure it.
Bezos' net worth is based on the stock value of Amazon, and is based on taking the _highest_ price someone is willing to buy 1, _one_, share of Amazon and multiplying it by the amount of shares Bezos has.
No one is willing to pay 200 billion dollars for Bezos' shares, and saying they are worth 200 billion is simply false.
His net worth is dependent entirely on other people being willing to give him money for his Amazon shares, and that is dependent entirely on the value Amazon brings to its customers, or how willing people are to give Amazon money for Amazons services.
Now, if Bezos decided to sell all his shares for cash he could surely get billions for them, as Amazon is generating incredible value, but not 200 billion.

If the ARM macs can run Intel 64 bit software, but not 32 bit, then removing it in Catalina makes perfect sense

What kind of licensing would be interesting?
Any particular expense software you'd love to see me build integration for?
In general I'd love to build this so that it works as smoothly as possible with your current workflow, and that probably means integration on some level - or at least interoperability.
Hi HN! Long-time lurker and first-time poster here. Hope this tickles someones fancy!
After a serious learning curve I’ve just managed to launch 1.x of my first app and side project - “Receipt Runner" !
It’s so scary to put something out there!
Receipt Runner is a simple little thing that finds receipts for me (and you). It saves me 2-3 hours of work every month that would otherwise be spent searching for, finding, printing-to-pdf, and delivering receipts for all my digital expenses.
It should work with any Gmail / GSuite email and any bank. (Support for Office365/IMAP coming if demand is high enough!)
It’s built in Electron (shudder) and started life as a web app before I realised I would never trust a server with this kind of data. To work, it needs access to both your emails (!) AND your bank transactions (!!). So now it runs locally, and all data is kept on your own computer, 1999-style. Anxious to see if it’ll work out!
It’s taken me two years, a lot of work, and a lot of learning. I’ve probably made the most common mistake and done way too much work before putting it out there, but it’s out now! If no one else ends up using it, it’s at least excellent for my own use and I’ve learned a tonne.
Built with Electron, React, and Node.
Test it out and let me know if it works for you!
