Thanks for that clarification, we did in fact finance the initial capital, we were re-doing the roof and as part of that we chose to refinance the house to take advantage of the lower interest rates. And yes, there were government rebates in force at the time, the actual system cost was closer to $40,000 but our part of that bill was half or $20,000. FWIW the refinance which only added the cost of the roof and panels to the balance and reduced the interest rate left us with a smaller monthly payment with a similar pay off date (replaced a 30 yr fixed with a 15 year fixed)

As for costs, maintenance included replacing a failed inverter, that was $3500, and a panel, that was $450. The way in which electricity has also changed, when we started it was just kilowatts in vs kilowatts out annual true-up, they dumped that and switched to time of day, but changed their mind when the economics didn't work out for them, and now they are on the tiered system. They also blew up the town of San Bruno and convinced the PUC that they should be allowed to raise rates to cover their costs, so the price of electricity has gone up. Net result is that we didn't save as much per month when we started, incurred maintenance costs above the original $20K, and PG&E has changed the rules several times on how the accounting works. Fortunately all of that complexity can be factored out just by computing the bills vs what we paid.
I agree with cycling. The weather conditions, traffic and even the route can be different each time you get on the bike. Heck, getting a flat tire breaks up the monotony really well (also gets me using creative words in the process of getting the tire on and off).
Centralized Platform for Ordering Wholesale Products

Service designed to centralize ordering between restaurants and wholesalers onto one platform. Wholesalers can manage inventory and easily update pricing, and restaurants now have one platform to order from.
Good. Why do the good people of NYC need to be taxed just so their taxes can be given as corporate welfare to a large corporation that will then come and organize other New Yorkers’ activities in such a way that money is siphoned out of the city?

If we want to create jobs, we don’t need a giant corporation using our tax money to help organize this human activity. We can hire each other for our own local purposes.

If we want to keep NYC rich then we don’t exploit the labor of the local population to send money out of the city.

The biggest US export by far is Dollars, ever since Bretton Woods they are in demand all around the world. We trade them for stuff others make. It has made Americans lazy and fat.

Do you really want jobs? Like race-to-the-bottom Amazon warehouse slave jobs? Is that the goal of humans? No. It’s just fed to them.

Donald Trump said he’ll keep the jobs in this country. Bernie said he’ll keep the money in this country by preventing corporations and billionaires from offshoring it through loopholes.

I know which goal I’d prefer, if I wanted Americans to be the masters and not the slaves. (I happen to believe that money going to poorer areas is good, so I don’t hold that nationalistic position - but if I did, I would want the money to stay, not jobs.)
China started chipping away at that agreement almost immediately.

At first Beijing "just" restricted the continuing progress toward democracy. They'd promised to leave that to HK.

Now they're much more active about it, intervening in law, freedom of press, day to day administration, the make up of the legislature, etc. Then there's the kidnappings of booksellers and publishers, and continual pro Beijing immigration.

Seems right to be very wary of any promises writ there.
Money transfers happen like Person -> Bank -> Clearinghouse -> Bank -> Person

They aren't free and instant because people and systems are involved in making them happen. Funds have to be verified, systems to make sure the money is there, fraud monitoring, regulations, mistake handling, etc etc. A lot of stuff goes on in the middle during the transaction and mechanisms need to be in place to prevent crime and fix mistakes.

Blockchains make this process a little better because instead of code setting rules and interacting with APIs, the mathematical characteristics of the blockchain end up doing a lot of the "work" involved and are simply more convenient for everyone.

I'm guessing that eventually central banks (like the Federal Reserve) will issue their own cryptocurrencies for banks to facilitate transfers.

It's not sexy or rebelling against the man, distributed crypto ledgers just have better properties than crusty databases and APIs.
I don’t love submodules, but I think the difficultly comes because they require experience to use properly and you have to learn the gotchas, like everything else in git. IMO a workflow that requires synchronized versioning across repos is inherently complicated, and that complexity is hard to hide. Submodules are probably better than manually keeping everything in sync with tribal knowledge, which you are probably doing if your PR includes instructions to merge at the same time as another PR.

I very much doubt this is true. Just as a sanity check, the A380 has slightly more than double the fuel capacity (320 kL vs 156 kL) of the A350, and carries twice as many people.

At least at maximum fully loaded range, the fuel per seat is going to be very close. The problem starts when you're unable to fill the plane.
Out of curiosity did you watch the linked video? This isn't "Pizzagate" looking for pedophilia where it doesn't exist. The girl posted a video titled "sassy cop roleplay" featuring dialog that sounds like it came from a traffic stop in a cheesy 90s porno, but updated with Tinder references. It's not illegal bit that doesn't mean that YouTube has to host it. They've certainly deleted and demonetized videos for less.
I'm amazed about once every three years when I hear or read something that reminds me delphi is still around.

I have the opposite impression of Helm. I'm seeing vendors and other companies cranking out and sharing Charts at a rate I've never seen before.

There are some review issues in the main upstream Helm Chart repo, but that's due to volume (which is now higher than ever).

Fully agreed. And if you don’t like the people in Congress, start volunteering for people you think are good. Or make yourself into one of those people. It’s not fast, it’s not easy, but it is possible. And fight for law changes that will help change - I would highly suggest advocating for ranked choice voting.

That's exactly the comparison I want: he took his time and demonstrated that it can be done give the time available to us. If you can only give six hours, then I guess it would take eight years. There's also another lesson to be learnt here: don't do everything form scratch :P

I don't think that anyone pays directly. This is estimated ad income.

But viewers most likely include other children. Plus the soft pedophilia market. Which is huge.

And yeah, this is just a more sophisticated take on the cam whore thing. With lots more protection of performers from their audience. As long as it's totally child-driven, I don't think that it's problematic. But when parents are pushing their kids, it becomes exploitation.

What's wrong with python?
you talk for 15s about it on that video. I will try to read the secondary paper on this... but doesn't look like it can protect against someone just generating hashes for multiple accounts from the same stored data.

P and (the fake) P2 can both reply to V with perfectly normalized storage.

But regardless if the protection works against bad actors, it definitely "works" against good actors if you take into account storage prices. E.g. P1 and P2 are two distinct good actors. They both pay cloudProviderA for storage. P1 and P2 bid on the same filecoin storage contract. They store that independently of each other, but cloudProviderA normalize the storage (with their own backup and consistency solutions). But with this protection scheme, since the cloud provider can't normalize, the cost will eventually go up because their normalization margin got erased. Over time, the data storage cost for good actors will go up, while for bad actors (assuming they are possible) the profit will increase.
It’s not “wasm just needs to be able to invoke them”

Because the wasm memory model doesn’t have typed memory - if you call a dom api and get a handle back, you need to store it. Then you need to be able to pass it back to the host vm.

So now your wasm code needs to make sure the handle stays live - wasm by design doesn’t interact with the host GC, so you have to manually keep the handle alive (refcounting apis or whatever), and the host VM has to have someway to deal with you trying to use the handle without having kept it alive.

Similarly because wasm is designed around storing raw memory in the heap the wasm code can treat the handles as integers. Eg an attacker can just generate spoof handles and try to create type-confusion bugs, or maybe manually over release things.

So the problem isn’t “how do we let wasm make these calls” but rather “how do we do that without making it trivially exploitable”.
Since JP Morgan is the one backing the coins with USD, and controlling who mines, they can do whatever they want to fix errors or crime. If something goes wrong they can just mark the "bad" coins as tainted and refuse to exchange them for USD and give you new coins to fix the problem.

Paper money was created because it was more convenient than lugging around precious metals, this is just the same. It has no value on the market by itself, it's just a way for a bank to account for stored value.
It works, but supposedly this works better.
The "entire project" was the full 800+ mile network as promised in Proposition 1A. Quoting from the ballot pamphlet[0]:

"Proposition 1A is a $9.95 billion bond measure for an 800-mile High-Speed Train network that will relieve 70 million passenger trips a year that now clog California's highways and airports—WITHOUT RAISING TAXES (emphasis theirs)."

As aside from your misdefinition of the "entire project", we're not even getting the Phase 1 we were promised at that $77B price point:

"The current price tag is $77 billion, up from $33 billion when the project was approved. Funding has become a problem for the rail authority, which can’t afford to complete even a partial operational segment — slow or fast. In its 2018 business plan, the authority deleted construction of a 13-mile tunnel under the Pacheco Pass from its first phase because it did not have enough money. The decision will leave about 80 miles of track in the Bay Area disconnected from 119 miles of track in the Central Valley."

This is not the 520-mile, contiguous, 220MPH LA-Sacto-San Jose project that was promised for Phase 1. Not remotely close.

And I'm not even counting the promised Phase 2.

It's really easy to let exceptions raise and pass through in languages like Python. In Go you'll typically return and handle errors explicitly. This makes it easier to reason about potential failure modes and behaviors in some cases.

But it is very verbose error handling.
Microservices solve a business organization need. It brings nothing to the table from a technical standpoint except complexity and overhead which might be required if you run a large company.

I would say, don't use Microservices unless you have 100 or more employees.
Amazing results, how excited are you? :)

You're right, I noted too that the comparison isn't direct but then, I wasn't justified in calling out the gap claim as wrong, so sorry for that. I think it'd be nice however, to have it undergo an external or more neutral test of performance. I say this without at all doubting the quality of the results.
Chernobyl didn't have a containment or shield building. Manually disabling the safety systems didn't help.
I asked this once at a K8S presentation and the person answered that he found it was about a team size of 35-40 engineers that migrating to microservices started to make sense.

That's the point!

JP Morgan is using the blockchain instead of mysql and a pile of code. To them and their customers it has nicer properties. It doesn't at all change the details that a bank is facilitating money flow, just how it is done, and at that a little more efficiently.
Wubby has a couple videos that are great deep dives into seedy, exploitative, multi-million view videos run by obviously sketchy account networks.
Well, in my case no one cares. Their systems are 1000% connected with google already. Google Ads (adsense, adwords)integration on ecommerce is far more intrusive, they have the complete data. Most websites do not care about Google taking their data. They use Analytics, Tag Manager, Search Console, Gsuite are just to name a few. I don't think I've ever met any company without google analytics already installed, before or after the project.

I kind of hate hackernews for this neverending google data collection circlejerk.

Agree it's not the best criticism, but there's at least some validity to it. I think the main issue is that this is an extremely heavyweight architecture that will incur a disproportionate level of administrative overhead - you would need an ample team of competent full-time devs to build and maintain this system properly. It's like an advertisement for a giant excavator where the excavator is featured crushing a soda can. It's an impressive piece of machinery, but the task being used to demonstrate it is comically mismatched with its true capabilities.

Two things I love to do for monotony are:

1) Take a random stroke from a pen and use that as starting point for making something interesting on a piece of paper. Sounds silly but it is fun and I have had a couple of people ask for them when I was done.

2) Go to a second hand store that sells a variety of things. Look all over the store and see if there is an item that screams to come home with you (if you want to make it harder take something with you to donate/sell before going). You never know what you are going to find and you'll have a story to go with it.
Some practical considerations that nobody talks about are 1) the 7 train that would have served Amazon's HQ2 location would be hard pressed to accommodate 25,000 additional riders. The 7 train is notorious for delays whenever there is in-climate weather - for at least the past twenty years the slightest precipitation knocks out the signal system and the segment connecting to manhattan shuts down every alternate weekend and whenever the weather is in-climate for maintenance. 2) housing in the area if at capacity so not sure where they think 25,000 additional people are going to live 3) schools in the area are over capacity so not sure where they think the kids of the 25,000 extra people were going to go. I've also observed that Amazon employees live in utter terror of being out of contact - I'm under the impression that missing a support call results in immediate termination - and there are numerous dead spots within the city and along commuter corridors where you will be out of contact for prolonged periods of time.
Depends if they can hold. A lot of speculators are going to have to take an L if they thought they were going to flip as Amazon ramped up. Especially if they took debt to do so.

Well, probably not. OP said they make half their monthly salary from it. That site makes $300. Maybe OP is in a poorer country and makes $600 as a software engineer, and uses a Mac.

They did post about it three years ago, so it seems linked to them. But I'd wait for OP to confirm: the person posting is not OP and may just be guessing based on OP's post history and having searched 1k projects.
"Now here’s the same type of train as in the above photo, but on a dedicated HSR line in Germany, where it goes nearly 200 mph."

A train with diesel locomotives running at 50MPH is not "the same type of train" as an electric train running at 200MPH. Using even nearly-identical rolling stock is not what defines the "train".

"They’ll feel a slight bump during the Merced stop as a diesel locomotive is coupled to the front."

Well, that, plus the 30+ minute delay each way.
