> It only seems cheaper because we don’t account for the labor and opportunity cost of the (usually) women who stay home to cook the meals.

Well, there's a big difference in cuisines. For instance, I've been to plenty of great Indian lunch buffets, but most East/Southeast asian food is not amenable to buffet timing. If you saute a leafy green, you need to eat it right away, or else it gets all wilty. There's nothing sadder than a bunch of pathetic looking spinach over a chafing dish or under a heat lamp.

Indian food usually tastes better the next day, after the flavors blend in to each other.

As for making sense from an economic standpoint, we should all be eating lentils and rice with no seasoning, with some vitamin supplements once in a while. Problem is, nobody wants to do that.

Yes I agree. After a month or so, I wasn't expecting things to change.

Of course, this begs the question - is it actually better or is it just that I'm accustomed to it now? All I can say is that going back to the old keyboard feels very wrong.

Nobody teaches anyone about cover during a nuclear strike anymore. In fact, the concept is frequently mocked as cynical Cold War era propaganda.

How do you think we get additional usage of fuel types? By growing the generation capacity.

The point is, there's no sign of the expansion of natural gas usage slowing down. Install base of power plants/generators running off natural gas is growing.

I haven't got all the figures to hand, but consider this report, which covers changes in electricity production in the southern states of the US:

https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=33992

In particular, look at this graph:

https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/images/2017.12.05/chart4.p...

Can you at least admit that, in 2017, natural gas capacity grew faster than renewable capacity in southern US states?

Few points which i would like to add:

1. India does have very large middle class population and most of their income is unaccounted.

2. Majority of middle class Indians who belong to certain religion/caste hide their income so as to get many freebies and reservation benefits.

3. Very few rich individuals pay taxes and file correct income tax return. Government is very much responsible for this as filling a simple itr form consist of many different sections and people avoid getting into official paperwork.

4. Though poor people are given various subsidies on paper but because of lack of education they barely know all the scehmes running around them and politicians eat most of their money.

5. Longer judicial proceedings make it even more tough for the system to catch corrupt individuals and implement good policies.
Probably because they don't know where to take cover.

Depending on how much time I have, if I had to take cover, I'd either load up supplies in the car and head to the 3rd underground floor of my office parking garage (but away from the vent stacks in 2 corners of the garage), or if I have less time, I'll jump the fence at the apartment complex next door and hide out in their one floor underground garage.

I live in a wood-framed house, so it's going to provide less protection than an underground garage, though still better than running around the streets.
Doesn't everyone know that the best defense against such an attack is: "duck and cover"? Further, the desks of school children could be used as shelter/cover since everyone knows that these desks are made of the most powerful adamantium/vibranium alloy.
Not necessarily. Safety for cars was nothing at the start. Until the 60's car companies were actively avoiding discussing about it in order to promote the macho, sexy, powerful car image. Then it became hygiene: you had to have it. Now I'd say it's a selling point: companies actually promote cars presenting their NCAP ratings or whatever extra safety features in order to draw customers.

Of course, it's different when your life (or the life of your loved ones) is on the line. But even though we won't quite be at the same point, the stakes are increasing for software. I'd imagine in 20 years we should be beyond hygiene.
- I also looked for a way to find more info about you, like an About page, or preferably a link to LinkedIn or something like that, but I didn't find one.

What type of information about me are you looking for?

I get told a lot I talk too much about myself and that needs to stop. In this very post someone suggested I redact a "personal anecdote" that they felt was overly personal and not pertinent. It indicates I was a military wife and homeschooling mom for a long time, yet had a high call back rate on my own resume when I did go to job hunt. I feel that is pertinent.

I have lived a very private life. I participated in an educational organization because I was a homeschooling parent. People label that personal info. I was an educator. I ran a small private school under California state law, but my students were my own children.

Tokenadult is also a homeschooling parent. I knew him elsewhere before I joined HN. He ran a homeschooling website for a time, as did I. But he also is a school teacher.

I can seem to find no means to claim my experience and credentials. It all gets dismissed as private, overly personal, anecdotal, etc. No one wants to hear, much less give me credit, for those accomplishments.

It seems like a trap I cannot escape. Having been a homemaker, it is like nothing I do will ever count.

I have six years of college. I have moderating experience. I have run websites for years. Men here who run websites are webmasters and it is respectable. I am dismissed as a mommy blogger for doing the same thing.

So what info about me do you want? Because that is the opposite of what I get told routinely and seems to be a Gordian knot I can find no means to cut. I'm not a man. I haven't lived like a man. Every single thing I have accomplished seems to not count because of it.

Thank you for taking the time to look it over and reply. Some of that is very good info. Please don't take the focus of my question as a negative. I hope you can say something that helps me sort this particular detail out.
>Or do you expect startups to compete on a standardized API?

At least an API. If that's what customers really want, at least now there is chance somebody will provide it.

>why should I have to employ a monk looking through my bank statements to be able to get access to them? Sure that can be a basis for an idiotic hack

Because the banks themselves are completely uninterested in providing API access to you and somebody with a legal team has to shoulder the liability for providing it.
underscore is a good counterpoint. jQuery is a great library, but I think it's arguably not what people mean when they talk about standard libraries, which has more to do with the question of why in the world there's a leftpad package.

> Why is JS having package management seen as a downside? It's an upside in every other language community

FWIW I'd say that thinking of package management as an unqualified upside in any language or environment is a mistake, though getting deep into that argument is not on my to-do list for the day, as convincing anybody who isn't naturally amenable to it would probably require going over the groundwork involved in groking JWZ's famous quote about regular expressions ("Some people, when confronted with a problem, think 'I know, I'll use regular expressions.' Now they have two problems.") and some philosophy about automation and the attention economy.

But package management is convenient for sure, and there's any number of situations in which I use it and am happy about it, particularly when I'm installing things where I'm primarily a user rather than a developer. The specific complaint about JS is based on the observation that the dependency tree seems to be fine-grained and transient in what seems like an unusual way to me. In that situation, I suspect the problems that come with any other pm system are likely magnified, including developer dependency on it, which moves from convenience towards necessity.
I take a very different view (similar to the guy who made a toaster from materials mined from the earth): as a maker, with a PhD in biophysics, I can learn how to do all those things and, through an incredibly tedious process, reproduce what they've done. For pencils, that's pretty easy. Graphite mining, paint formulation, wood sourcing and processing, ferrule production and application, rubber polymer manufacture and application- those are all straightforward industrial things that a well-educated person can learn to do with a combination of the Internet and a good university library.

A much harder thing woudl be to reproduce a modern quantum physics lab- I don't think any one person could master all the techniques required to do that from raw materials. Too much tech stack to walk u.

[I had to go back and reread it a couple of times...naturally :)]

I guess part of what bothered me is what makes it well written; there is so much of the discussion spent on background, which felt like stating the obvious to me. It wasn't clear to me how specific the conditions needed to be for the attack. They use GnuPG as an example, and ostensibly rely on knowing the algorithms that the decryption and encryption functions beforehand. With knowledge of the implementation, they're able to trace execution, and subsequently infer each bit of the victim data that they want to probe. They also need to know the victim's cache characteristics; hierarchy and timing.

It's a far cry from arbitrarily reading memory on an arbitrary victim.

Nit, but it is not _also_ called a ferrule, it IS a ferrule.

Just because a bunch of people haven't heard the word before doesn't mean it isn't a real word with an established meaning. So everywhere you see a ferrule used, it'll not surprisingly be called : a ferrule!

> "Total fossil fueled generation is well below where it was a decade ago. The rapid rise of natural gas generation has been more than offset by an even faster decline in generation from other fossil fuels, coal in particular."

That's the problem I'm trying to highlight. The decline of coal is the ideal opportunity for renewables to rise to become a greater portion of the energy mix. Instead, we see natural gas taking its place. Natural gas is abundant and cheap, and causes less pollution than coal, but is still a polluting source of energy. Renewables now have to fight against a new, stronger incumbent, rather than taking the place of a dying one.
How can I deal with managers that reject software engineering design patterns?
Um, that's not "another use for the word" : it is in fact the exact same use as all the other examples. Perhaps you meant "another place where a ferrule is used".
"What does HN think? Is this a viable business differentiator for them, long term? Or will they have to shift to the 'dark side' of personalized data and services to remain competitive in the future?"

Honestly, I cant possibly trust Apple to always do the right thing. A corner stone of digital privacy and security is being in control of your systems and data which Apple takes away from its customers. When I buy and use Apple products - I have to have faith in Apple to do nothing wrong with my data or send me a malicious update that compromises my system. It is all closed source and you only get occasional white papers explaining technology in abstract terms about their intentions. There is no independent person(s) that can vouch for Apple's integrity in building the systems the way they claim so.

That said, based on current status quo, I'd rather warily trust Apple with some of my personal data like GPS location, browsing history, Notes etc than Google or Facebook given the latter have a business motive to sell me out.

So when my friends or relatives ask me what phone/computer I think they should buy, I opinionatedly recommend iPhone + GnuLinux for the tech savvy and iPhone and Mac for the non tech savvy. I also give them a mini 5 minute lecture about

Encouraging of what? More centralization of data processing? Less control for the consumer?

Not at all. That is about data protection, not about machine readable interfaces. First of all, being able to access my data does not in any way allow me to initiate transactions, which is a ciritical part of banking functionality. But also, being able to access data does not at all mean being able to process it using a computer. I can have access to all the data companies store about me now, and most of them will simply send a letter with a printout to fulfill their legal obligations.

Natural gas is ~1/2 as carbon intense as coal. It's a good thing when it displaces coal.

Of course renewables are much lower, as that table shows. But meeting current demand with new natural gas generation is still a big improvement over old coal generation.

"THIS IS FOR REALZ PINKY SWEAR NOT A DRILL"
Either the Curl developers are at fault somewhere, which I somehow doubt, or distributions are really special snowflakes, which I also doubt, or software distribution in the Open Source world is, in my opinion, flawed:

> Finally, I’d like to add that like all operating system distributions that ship curl (macOS, Linux distros, the BSDs, AIX, etc) Microsoft builds, packages and ships the curl binary completely independently from the actual curl project.

Why would everyone rebuild it? There are some security considerations (matching source and binary; disabling "dangerous" stuff) and some feature considerations (disable stuff you don't need to reduce resource usage - maybe), but conceptually this seems so wrong to me.

Conceptually I'd want downstream packagers to talk to upstream developers so that upstream has reasonable defaults and settings and I'd want packagers to just package and make the package follow distribution conventions. But rebuild seems overkill.

Maybe I'm missing something obvious?
The mocking isn't unjustifiable though. I mean the turtle/duck and cover is quite pointless, at least in the case of a nuclear strike (unless you're maybe on the far edge of it, in which case a ditch might save you..and that's big might).
