It won't do so significantly for your average Joe. Rich people not hoarding their money can also arguably be good for the economy. Though I'm undecided on that issue.

That's a cost increase of $23,700 per year. Certainly not trivial (especially for a startup), but that's 1/5 of the cost of a junior engineer in a low cost-of-living market.

Is looking in a window not itself a 'search'? Like, a police officer dragging a street by looking in every window for pot or guns would presumably be indiscriminately searching without probably cause, why would it be different with tickets in windows legally?

My experience though is this particular style of parking pass is usually on private property where the people checking are not part of a branch of police though, and thus I think are not bound against unreasonable search in the same way?
I've used Graphiti in a project; as it looked promising on the surface. But as my needs grew, I often found myself fighting with the DSL. It makes the easy things easy, and the hard things very painful and hard. This is a problem with any DSL heavy framework.

If you have a toy project, than try Graphiti. If you're solving real-world problems; stick with GraphQL.

So I'm no expert but I believe there are actually two different notions of hardware acceleration at play here:

1) HW accelerated rendering in Firefox, which despite being unfortunately disabled by default on linux can in my experience be enabled (on about:config) without issues. This makes the experience of scrolling much smoother, so I usually do that. I don't think this has any observable effect on battery life for me. However, enabling this in Sway results in some very odd behavior that breaks certain things so I've had to disable it. I can go into more detail on that if you like.

2) Hardware accelerated video decoding. In contrast to the fist one, this makes a HUGE difference in CPU usage and battery life. However this unfortunately cannot be used in any browser AT ALL in Linux, regardless of setup or configuration. The way I watch youtube videos on my laptop is usually with mpv, which does use hw decoding if it is configured to do so.

I won't disagree with your ideas in general because I just don't know.

But in the case of Palo Alto, this isn't true. Parking is just hard enough to find that people generally do walk once parked. And there aren't enough people in downtown to keep it alive without the outsiders.
nonono, you're simply not getting it.

I don't use it for reason X, therefore I can project this reasoning onto those that disagree, and dismiss them by calling them outdated. So, obviously your use case is irrelevant.

Theres probably a cost/ durability element. You want that thick metal plate to be stainless steel (expensive), or protected in some way (slightly less expensive), wood ash is caustic, so could eat though unprotected steel quite quickly if not properly maintained.

It may be possible an over enthusiastic bbqer to overheat the metal plate, I don't know how likely that would be in real life though.

In Singularity, the system gets to decide what happens at SIP boundaries (and the kernel ABI boundary).

HIP is the full address space change, but any mitigation steps can be introduced in the IPC hand-off between SIPs (or at the kernel ABI) compiled into the untrusted process. This code is compiler controlled. The system is in ring-0 so IPC code gets full access to available instructions (such as mitigation is possible there).

Of course doing this makes channel communication in both directions slow for untrusted processes, but that is the cost of doing business with Spectre. And if someone wrote a browser that didn't use channels for talking to the JS engine, then all bets would be off.
The only way I've seen this addressed is using the idea that late responders are more similar to non-responders than early responders - so in a study where you suspect that non-responders have a different bias to responders you'd use late responses to get an idea about what non-responding people would have answered.
Because some real life systems are unintentionally racist, provide more precise results for light skinned people.
Good, intuitive introduction to matrices. Next steps could be showing that there are infinitely many different matrix representations of a linear map (different from the polynomials) and they can be used for function spaces, too.

I had a mindset that everything I do should bring in money and if it doesn't it's not worth doing.

It ended when after years of freelancing and occasionally working at/for small companies I got hired by a corporation.

Suddenly I was being paid more than I could hope for, for doing barely anything. I felt so relaxed and I never again considered my hobbies to be potential money makers.
I wonder how prepared Amazon is for return fraud. Having a 3rd party accept the returns, locally, makes them a more attractive target.
It's very easy, in fact. Because you don't use the stdlib, it requires handling some language items (the equivalent of having to write your own _start routine, for example). You set up vector tables just like normal, and you decorate things to tell the linker where to put them.

The canonical example is https://github.com/rust-embedded/cortex-m-rt if you want to get into the guts of how it works. For a more user-focused overview, check out https://github.com/rust-embedded/cortex-m-quickstart, which is a good starting point from which to drill down.
Totally fine obviously to have a preference. I would mention that even NY style pizza is typically cook at temperatures higher than your home oven can get, so this type of thing can still be useful. NY Pizzas I think are typically cooked between 550 - 650 degrees Fahrenheit I think.

As far as I know, cap-and-trade programs were successful in reducing SO2/NOx emissions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_Rain_Program

> Since the 1990s, SO2 emissions have dropped 40%, and according to the Pacific Research Institute, acid rain levels have dropped 65% since 1976.

...although it seems debatable whether it is more effective than plain regulation.

> However, although it reduced emissions by 40%, the US Acid Rain Program has not reduced SO2 emissions as much as the conventional regulation applied in the European Union (EU), which reduced SO2 emissions by more than 70%. Therefore, the effectiveness of the emissions trading element as a mechanism has been criticised, ...

It's probably that people who read HN are more likely to be interested in entrepreneurial pursuits.
It was really painless. I bought something without paying attention and got the wrong model. Normally this means when returning the item I'm out the return shipping cost, but with the Kohls return I just walked into the store with only the item I was returning (unboxed, even) and they scanned a QR code from an email on my phone. There was zero cost and I didn't have to repack a box (though I did have to drive to a store).
I don’t think I will. I’m not the one posting about the hypothetical boogeymen that a business I work for is going to grow so large that a cloud provider can’t handle it. As if some how that same business could build out a data center that could scale better than AWS or Azure.
Plus the returns area is in the back corner for the store near me, thus maximizing the chance you might see something you end-up purchasing impulsively.
> Likewise, uninstalling via a package manager handles orphaned dependencies automatically for you.

Yes, and fairies are real, and so is Santa. I wish things were this way, but the reality is that most package managers aren't 100% perfect when it comes to install/uninstall and cleaning up of stuff. opkg is especially bad at it. If you look at how it actually works, the core files of the package are handled by the package manager, which usually (though not always works). But most packages aren't just binary blobs to be moved around. Take something like mysql-server for example. Not only will it install the MySQL binaries, it will also create /var/lib/mysql for all the data, and a few cache dirs as well. It'll also add files to /etc/, /etc/defaults/ and so on. Oh, and after it is installed, it will start the mysqld process. When you try to uninstall this stuff, but default the /var/lib/mysql directory won't be removed. Who knows, you might want the data that's there. Oh and that config file? That's staying too. So if you uninstall and reinstall mysql-server because something went bad, you'll just get the same config and data. Is that what you really wanted? You can of course do something like `apt autoremove --purge mysql-server` and that'll mostly work, assuming that mysqld isn't frozen, at which point the pre-remove script fails to kill it and you suddenly are left with a system with an inconsistent state. Last I checked, opkg didn't even have a purge option. And it doesn't stop there. The pre/post install/uninstall scripts can do whatever they want, and if they error out, you again are left with a mess you will be cleaning up by hand. I have done this on many distros many times and it is always a mess. apt/dpkg are one of the better systems out there. The rest? They will make you want to nuke whatever device you are working on from orbit.

I am not on the "containers for everything" bandwagon, but the idea that opkg is somehow comparable in this case is laughable.
Yeah I run into a similar story here, small modern units aren't necessarily cheaper, unfortunately.

Normally you'd expect this to generate a lot of turnover because there's a decent chance you can find a better deal on a $/m2 basis within a year or so. Which is tricky for normal landlords, because you need to organise viewings and find another tenant, which leads to temporary vacancy and lost income.

But these hotel-room like units tend to be so so uniform and modern, that, like hotels, you can easily get them booked via an online system without even having to organise viewing days or whatever, or better, generate a waiting list online of tens of people who're willing to move into one the moment one becomes available.

We have small apartments that aren't age-limited here, too, but they start (based on building regulations) at 18m2. The 'really' small units of 15m2 are allowed only for student rentals, which are typically linked to an age (27) or university enrolment requirement, or both.

Oh man, I can't imagine the logistics with all this. Exactly what items are eligible? Do they enter in Kohl's system, or Amazon's system? Are they thrown in the same pile of returns to be put back on the floor at the end of the night by workers, or are they put in a special area that each Kohl's has? What if a Kohl's employees caves into an angry customer trying to return an ineligible item? Is that even possible?

Also at least at our local Kohl's, you have to walk ALL THE WAY through the store to get to the Amazon returns desk. It's upstairs, in the back corner. It is impossible to do an Amazon return at Kohl's without walking through tons of merchandise displays.

There are estimates that the Catholic Church spends around 3% of turnover on charity - which is far less than most charitable organisations do, and certainly far less than it could afford to.

Given the age slant of its members a lot of donations are collected from the elderly, many of whom can realistically be considered poor themselves.
> I see older people behave in certain ways and think I will never be like that. Then I realize that I will be, and that when I am like that I will not know it. And therefore maybe I already am like that.

The problem is that this isn't always true, and it's hard to know when, since there's another thing that causes all old people to do something: They all lived at the same time.

There are certain ways that older people relate to food that is based not around being old, but having lived through the great depression. The same with the baby boomers, etc. We can already see that people who grew up around 9/11 and the recession will be different in certain aspects.

Even hobbies, may have much less to do with being old, and more to do with carrying over hobbies from an earlier age.

Think of it like 'old people names'. Those aren't old people names, they're 'teenager names' 65 years later.
2) Sure we don't get screwed on registration like people in CA do but we still get screwed. People who buy used really get screwed hard because of the taxes on "value" as described.

3) Not really. Most of the cheap, cheap carriers (e.g. "The General") that keep prices of all the carriers low don't exist in this state

4)NH and Maine toll the tourist highways only. I have no problem with them making money off the people who will be the death of their states. Personally I think they should 10x the toll for out of state plates then refund most of it if you cross the border going the other direction. If you have to compare yourself to NY when it comes to cost of living or individual freedom you've already lost. I will agree that nobody with a brain should be driving in Boston/Cambridge.

I’ve poured through the EPA tables on the contribution of agriculture production to greenhouse gases, and the high level number is misleading. Typically estimates look at emissions directly contributed from agriculture, but they separate out a ton of linked factors. Like, the production of petrochemical fertilizers are not included in the “agriculture” emissions category; only the emissions that are released in using them to farm. Then there’s transportation emissions, etc, all in their own categories. (It makes sense to look at agriculture as a whole, since so much of it is geared towards feeding animals...)

Then there’s the opportunity cost for all the land that is used to farm annual crops for animals. That land could be regenerating healthy soil, and capturing carbon.

Bottom line, the official numbers aren’t by far an accurate picture. Animal agriculture, even in America, is a huge piece of the climate puzzle.
