Depending on where you work or live (I'm in Bellevue in a condo w/o charging in the garage), it actually is quite practical to live with an EV without charging at home.

I have an i3, and both my office and the Lincoln Square Mall have free charging. If I drive to work maybe once a week or stop off at the movie theater, I end up charging my car to 75-90% and have plenty of juice for the rest of the week. I don't drive a whole lot so I might not be a typical case, but it's definitely possible to live without a home charger.

That being said, I am working with the HOA to get them to permit me to install a charger in my parking spot since I eventually do want one for convenience.
In fact libertarians were originally socialists, railing against capitalism as a tool of the state, back when the state used to break up eg strikes with violence. See Oscar Wilde for instance, “Man’s soul under socialism.”
I think they failed to mention other sites. Here in Springfield Missouri we have an AT&T building which seems highly fortified like what is described in the article.

> make sure your holdings are prepared for a recession

How do you do that? If you're market-invested, there's very little chance of actually predicting the timing of the downturn.

Perhaps sell while confidence is high and then buy like mad when prices have gone way down? Sounds risky...
True. Traefik is not nearly as easy to set up, though.
Nobody wants to invert the power dynamic, just make it less top heavy.
I don't have any issues with Netflix on either Linode or Digital Ocean personally.
There used to be a bug in the Linux version of the filesystem that prevented partitions of above 70MB or so to be created (shortints FTW!); however, that is fixed now.

Far worse is it that there is no good, unencumbered (looking at you CDDL license) version of UDF fsck.
> Using USB-to-parallel-adapters does not work

Have you tried modifying the Device Manager configuration for the USB-to-parallel adapter to assign it the I/O port and IRQ traditionally associated with LPT1 (I/O port 0x3BC, IRQ 7)? Changing exactly those kinds of mappings are the whole (original) purpose of the Windows Device Manager :)

The other thing you could do, though, is just run the automation software in a VM, and map the USB parallel port to the VM's LPT1. It's the IBM z/OS philosophy :)
As I understand them, this isn't quite what I'm after. These are Lisps implemented in Python (at least Hy is -- I'm not familiar with Pymacs). I'm not fixated on Lisp, and just implementing an L1 (L1=Lisp for the sake of the example) interpreter on L2 doesn't seem to be what I'm after. I want to be able to use whatever language (L1) I like (within reason), and be able to call out to packages that happen to be written in whatever language (L2) the package authors preferred. Obviously you need to have the L2 runtime available, which is presumably how CLR (and JVM in the hypothetical above) sort of do this -- everyone runs on a common runtime, sort of like everyone use to compile to the metal so that (modulo struct wrangling) it didn't matter what L2 was bcs at the end of the day everyone talked machine language. The stupid obvious way to do this is, of course, just RPC where you call out to a python (or whatever) server, and this is what I actually do now, but the overhead of communications is ugly if not slow, and there's all sorts of issues with debugging etc.
99% odds that is either a ILEC telco central office or a large electrical transformer substation. If electrical grid, similar to the big part with no windows at 970 Burrard in Vancouver. BC Hydro headquarters site with giant substation that later became office and residential condos.

edit: I just moved down the street a bit and it says Bell Canada on the building. It's a CO.

Another way you can tell for sure with a building like that, is that there will be a locked panel or set of highly protected hose ports for generator diesel fuel refill, from alley or street side tanker truck delivery.
Can you restate that more precisely?

In particular, I'm not sure what sets comprise the numerator and denominator of "most technological revolutions".
The economics of land mines
> Specifically he used the segment to point out that Xi Jinping has more power and influence than almost anybody in China's history, that a personality cult has started to form around him, and that he is using that power in ways that has a wide range of long-term profound domestic and international consequences, including America's place in the World and perhaps even democracy's.

Having a mainstream liberal thought leader (in my opinion) like Oliver breaking silence on whether the rise of China, while it is still an authoritarian state, might pose some risk to America is a very welcome and I think significant change. I can't recall the other incidents, but this isn't the first time I've noticed a change in the mainstream information feed on this topic, hopefully this is the sign of things to come. I would love to see a bit on China still enjoying the benefits that come with developing nation status within the WTO, despite the massive economic transformation they've undergone (with a little help from Western CEO's along the way) since their original inclusion.
>I ask people to make their own arguments because I think it's lazy to post things that even you don't understand.

My degree happens to be in economics, but okay. The argument is that trade barriers, both unilateral and bilateral, cause economic losses and are therefore bad. The belief that asymmetric trade barriers result in the unrestricted country "losing" is wrong - removal of trade barriers results in a reduction of deadweight losses even without symmetry. This is well-supported economic consensus with acceptance among economists comparable to that of climate change among climatologists.

>Okay so he admits that externalities can outweigh our more traditional views of gains from trade and then he moves on to state and refute a different argument.

No, he really doesn't. His point is that the proper solution to externalities is to price them in domestically, and tariffs in lieu of environmental policy harmonization are "second best" with unconvincing arguments in favor.

However, this discussion is about using tariffs as a tool to combat externalities unrelated to trade and is tangential at best to our discussion.

>The case for these tariffs is best going to be made through the externality argument though and tariffs/trade restrictions are an example where we believe externalities are outweighing our benefits. Seen through this lens common economic reasoning would tell us that a large improperly priced externality requires a tax to bring the item up to the proper price. In trade this tax is called a tariff and it's common sense to use it if you believe your country is being indirectly harmed by free trade.

This is precisely where Trump is wrong. Removal of trade barriers has positive externalities, not negative. It is a Kaldor-Hicks improvement.

>Trump (but more probably his advisors) believe there are large external effects to having a strong technology industry at home in the 21st Century. Accordingly they are using tariffs and trade restrictions to maintain that.

This is not in line with their stated reasoning. They believe tariffs are necessary because trade deficits are losses.
Last summer, around the time my mom passed, someone who teaches out of my book sent me a picture of her class. Just by coincidence this was near to where my mom and dad grew up in the 1940's. It was a room of bright people, all kinds of shades, who wanted the American dream and were working through Linear Algebra on their way up there.

So no, I'm not doing that. :-)

Well Microsoft is about to be fully integrated if they make their own CPUs for their PCs like Apple is about to do (and sorta like how they designed their own XBox processors)... Let's see how that plays out for them and if this anti-vertical-integration theory holds.
Switzerland, Hong Kong are banking centers. Singapore, and Macau focus very heavily on manufacturing and pass through trade.

One issue I have with economists and their theories of tariffs is they are unable to consider the effects of institutional tariffs and subsidies. Meaning companies while the could buy foreign products instead buy locally produced ones. And the banking sector shows strong preferences to who they extend capital to. For instance providing capital to build a factory and refusing to loan money to buy back shares.
If the goal of the project is generalization, you likely want to shy away from opinionated heuristics like the former you mention.

In the development for the Magic the Gathering AI (Duels), one of the restrictions is "don't cast harmful spells on your targets" even though for some edge cases this is actually the optimal thing to do. They traded a smaller search space at the expense of optimality.
Ask HN: Advice on where to incorporate a SaaS startup, we can't in our country
We are building a SaaS targeted to European companies. We are based in a latin american country where the exports of services is treated the same as the export of, for example, a container full of apples: For each SaaS subscription over a $1,000 we sell, we need pay a customs agent a fee (starting at ~$150). Also we would like to use Stripe and their broad range of european payment methods, and Stripe is not offered in our country.
As incorporating in our home country is not an option, we are looking for a place to incorporate.

We can incorporate a company in Europe, to be "closer" to our customers. Ireland seems a good option as they speak English, and they will stick to the European Union. There are some tax advantages as well, but I don't expect to see much profits anytime soon. In the other hand, for non-EU residents, they require to buy a $1,000/year insurance (plus the registered office fee, the company secretary fee, etc) and there are not many resources and tools on how to operate your irish company. I fear that I will have to hire a lawyer or an accountant for even the smallest question. Also it looks like that I need to fly from my country to Ireland to open the bank account.

The other alternative is to set up a Delaware C Corp or LLC. There are plenty of resources and tools to help you run your business and there are services (Stripe Atlas, Gusto) that makes it easy to start and even get a US bank account. Also, if everything's goes well, we may look for US investors and I guess it is easier for them to invest in a well-know structure, such as a DE C Corp. On the other hand, it seems odd to have a Latin American-based US company selling to Europe.

We are talking to lawyers to sort this out. But it would be very helpful to know your experience and opinions as fellow entrepreneurs and investors.

What about that manager "sounds like a dill-hole"?

Realize that we have one very biased viewpoint with some very broad claims that cannot be verified.

He "was told to do many things that [he thinks] was not a valuable use of [his] time". Not his call. He doesn't get to allocate his time to parts of the project he feels "deserves" his attention. In some regards, it feels a little arrogant.

And he pushes back on them. He _creates_ the very stress he is decrying here. His capacity to deal seems to be quite low.

And then he asked for a day, blew up, then got two weeks. He apparently was told he was going to be on leave for two weeks, but assumed he was being fired. And since, in his mind, he's always right, that's the mindset he went home with.

He blames his wife's miscarriage on his manager. Because "she was so stressed" over it. Let's ignore how this guy seems to turn everything into a life or death struggle. Stressing himself out so much at work that he gets a 2 week furlough, the stresses out so much during the furlough, that the shorten it to a week.

And despite claiming earlier that being fired at that moment would leave him homeless in the street, a mere 4 months later, he acquired enough capital that a $30k severance was enough of an addition so he could work his startup for a year. 4 months. From homeless to having a year's worth of backup.

And apparently was able to find a job. Which he probably could have done 16 months ago as well.

When someone's life is crisis after crisis and nothing ever seems to be their fault, you really have to wonder just how biased their views are.

I mean, he's down to essentially blaming not wanting to follow Amazon's style guidelines on causing his wife to miscarry. How about this? Don't want your code held up on styling complaints? Follow the fucking guidelines. Regardless if you like them or not. Those guidelines are for company-wide consistency, not anyone's personal preference. And if those guidelines are what he was complaining about, it's no wonder he's had 8 jobs in 17 years. He's so goddamn convinced that only he knows the one true color of the bike shed, that anyone who disagrees must be wrong.

And it doesn't matter just how good that person is at other things. If the minute you ask something of them that they disagree with, they shut down, you just can't work like that. Discussion is fine. Disagreement, to a degree, is fine. But when a decision is made, it needs to be executed.

Why was there a 6% tariff on motorcycles to begin with? That tax wasn’t in response to Trump. That tax was to protect EU industry which is exactly the problem. The EU has long engaged in protectionism — when the US does the same, somehow that’s a scandal? Let’s be intellectually consistent here. All tariffs are bad except in the case of dumping.
I've been a vegetarian for a bit over a decade. (Ovo-lacto, not pescatarian, so I'll eat dairy and eggs but not fish) insects are undecided, but I try to avoid foods that would force a decision (good bye, junior mints). I try to pay attention to labels, but when eating out will often go for the basics. (If they offer a veggie burger, I won't try to find out if the cheese used animal-rennet, and I'm sure there has been lots of sugar bleached with animal bones)

I think I'm a decent example as I loved the taste of meats and wasn't (and still am not) into many veggies outside of basic staples. A kale and quinoa sandwich with sprouts and bell peppers with fresh tomato sounds like a wonderful thing...for some other than me to eat. My family has lots of fishermen and hunters, so meat was an unquestioned norm while growing up.

For me the cause was empathy...if I couldn't kill the animal because of emotions, why is it okay to make others do it? The various other logics of sustainability didn't hurt, but that was the deciding issue. I think that will resonate with people in the future who do switch, but I dont think it will particularly convince anyone TO switch.

I tried cold-turkey (awkward word choice) but found I was seeing stars constantly after a few months. (My guess is that my college go-to's of ramen and mac and cheese weren't a full nutritional load) After that I returned to meat eating, but I had lost the taste for red meat - it now just tasted oily and gross. After a few years I noticed that my tastes had slightly expanded (salad bars were still full of things I disliked, but lettuce itself was now okay). I started dropping a meat category each year (pork, turkey, chicken, seafood) to allow me time to find the right substitutes. I completed the list 10+ years ago and I've not had particular troubles, though I use a lot of meat substitutes while cooking.

Eating out and shopping have become easier over time, but only gradually - finding a vegetarian meal that doesn't assume you want ALL THE VEGETABLES is hard at the average place, and people dont all define vegetarian the same way (Indians seem to share my norm, but Chinese and Japanese use oyster and fish sauces in the "vegetarian" foods all the time, Thai is a toss up on that, plus it is hard to know if their curry paste is shrimp based, and Americans often seem to think every vegetarian eats fish, particularly in some regions. Plus the US south uses pork as a seasoning - a good portion of the vegetable sides menu at, say, Cracker Barrel is non vegetarian.

So while I think vegetarian will become the norm...I dont think it is on the cusp of being the norm. Plus vat-grown meat could totally change the equation, though it still has a long way to go. For now though, the gradual increase I've seen since the 80s has continued, and meat eaters vilify it less often because more of us are vegetarian WITHOUT trying to shame/blame other people for their choices/scenarios.
From my experiences (currently work with several Fortune 100 health insurers/benefits managers, and have previously worked for another large insurer, a major academic medical center, and a large pharma company), healthcare organizations tend to be rather cloud adverse (most of our contracts very explicitly forbid us from using any form of 3rd party cloud computing). So while I agree that much of the heavy lifting will shift to the cloud (or already has), I expect health analytics will continue to favor on-premises solutions (GPU’s still tend to be pretty rare compared to CPU based clusters but are slowly becoming more common).

I think one of the goals of having fewer keys is to minimize hand movement. This should translate to faster typing, and not having to look down from the screen to the keyboard to find a key.

Although I agree that both more and less keys have benefits.
depending on the market it would be in your best interest to clear your name before you leave. I'm not sure about Seattle or SV, but many of the other markets that Amazon is in are smaller in comparison and having a bad reputation at a larger employer like amazon can make it difficult to find work elsewhere. But absolutely leave and start fresh in addition to appealing.
> His huge mistake was to ignore my plea to take the day off to feel better and be able to handle the situation. Had he done so I believe everything that happened could have been avoided.

After reading your account, I agree completely. I spent nearly 6 years at Amazon, and I know how it can get.

> I did continue to do the work, and voice my complaints, it just eventually got to the point I couldn't handle the stress, so I talked to my manager to ask how to move forward. He did nothing to really relieve my stress and just ordered me to do it anyway ( which I did; even under all the stress )

This comment isn't aimed at you, but at anyone who may find themselves in similar circumstances: leave work immediately for the day. What would happen if you came down with food poisoning or started coughing uncontrollably? You'd leave without a second thought. Do so in this circumstance - send the "I'm not feeling well, heading home" email and get the fuck out of the situation that is causing the uncontrollable stress. Get some perspective and address the situation the next day.
when you have to manage a large number of services with a bunch of different devs touching things, Docker is almost required to get a consistent development state.

There's literally nothing wrong with reaching for Docker right away. It allows you to have the same, repeatable development environment. Maybe you deploy to production without Docker, but any project I start I'll reach for Docker right away.

I have often wondered something similar about these self-help books. I've tried a number of these diets over the years and they all have a thing in common: the diet is very if not outright impossible to follow.

When the diet fails to achieve its goals, inevitably, I blame myself.
I'd prefer a serverless restaurant even if the price was exactly the same as with the full-service.

It's like the difference between an old-style Taxi and an Uber, with the latter you just get up and go when you're done. The whole dance of flagging down the server to request the bill, get the bill, oops the server disappeared before you could pull out your card, wait for 10 minutes while they are off exploring Narnia in the kitchen cupboards. Finally they come to take the card and disappear again, what should have taken 30 seconds is now at 15 min+, hope you're not missing your show... ah, finally they're back! Now try to figure out the tip line, with the air of one who is trying to convert Fahrenheit to centigrade in your head while your house is burning down.

Waitstaff-less high-end restaurants expand the audience and frequency of visits of people who can now enjoy these better-than-Chipotle dining experiences. Much like Uber, which doesn't only cannibalize existing providers but actually creates a whole new category of short rides that you would never have previously considered using a Taxi for.

The hope is that fusion will, indeed, be less complex and expensive than fission. This is for a few reasons:

1. The fuel is much more common and easier to handle - uranium and plutonium are a pain to extract/transmute, handle, and package.

2. The radioactive contamination is limited to induced radioactivity in the structural materials of the reactor core; there aren't the safety concerns of radioactive neutron moderators and the like that you see in a fission reactor. Preventing the release of those materials in the case of accident is one of the big drivers of fission plant costs.

3. The core itself is fail-off, again reducing the cost and complexity of safety measures.

4. They are not dual-use (civilian/military) to the extent of the fission supply chain.

5. By comparison to the rather indirect method of using solar panels and wind turbines to extract energy from solar radiation, steam turbines are a simple and efficient way of extracting energy from a fusion reaction. The Sun is enormous, but a fusion reactor would be right here and we can extract energy from one with well-understood, efficient technology.
