When everything is twice as far away, it adds up. My wife and I work from home and we still manage 10,000 miles a year on the car. That's driving kids to school (just a couple miles each way), going grocery shopping (10 miles each way), driving kids to swim lessons (10 miles each way), going to grandma's house (120 miles each way), our one vacation (150 miles each way)

There's also zero useful public transportation for us. If I worked in the city, I could take the train, but it's 4 miles to the train station.
Neat. For people looking at alternatives for configurable dashboards i suggest sampler[0]. It has a weird license but free for personal use. You can report any output of a terminal command with a custom time rate. E.g. you can SSH and pipe HTOP of a remote system, query your local DB and do a timeseries etc. all in one place.

I would go one step further. Nationalize the company.

There is always talk about "if companies are people, how do we punish them when they break the law?". Well, what about nationalizing them for the public good for a certain number of years that matches what a person would get in prison for a similar crime?

They are burning through VC money by subsidizing the cost of each ride, thus artificially deflating its actual cost. Once the gravy train runs out, these ride sharing companies will have no choice but to jack up the prices to their actual value.

An Internal PaaS to Manage AWS: Don’t Do It
Please I have not attacked the professor at all. I have "attacked" an article which has you calling a statement which in all likelihood originates from the advice of an earth scientist > "bad science" and "mis-information" and has you defending the claim that the amazon ecosystems contribution to atmospheric oxygen "effectively zero" And that practically extends to co2 - any caveats are in fact in contradiction to the professors advice that fires and organisms use up all the produced oxygen. But we've already gone through that and are talking past each other now.
I certainly hope this is true but I hold a healthy degree of skeptism when using one of their cloud products. This is unfortunate, because overall I've found GCP to be quite far ahead of AWS in terms of product design and integrations.

According to the article, the gold bars are actually high-purity real gold. Then the difference in price must be the small markup that branded stamped gold bars get.
This seems very different from the normal forgery I would expect where the forger gets a large fraction of the bar's value.

If the bar is actually real gold, the nature of the damage is different. It's less about undermining gold than it is about undermining the brand of the stamp.

I don't see how that would work. Legally it's just a price increase. They're just claiming to state in advance where they're earmarking the extra money.

They may be lying about how they're earmarking the funds, and that may be actionable, but that's a separate issue.
A bare atmega328p-pu is 10x the price. LEDs are about 15x. Resistors and caps are, as another poster said, huge, but you're possibly getting factory seconds from an already mediocre brand. I buy decoupling ceramics and 5% resistors from China for peanuts but stick to RS online for caps where I depend on characteristics or reliability.

China sells a lot of older stock via AliX, so newer chips are hard to find and might be near the same price, but older clonable classics like a 2n7k are dirt cheap and just as good.

The paper "The Five Sexes, Revisited" which you can find at [1], is at best an essay on gender and recent changes in gender-based legislation, at worst badly written political activism, but most certainly not in the slightest a scientific investigation into the biology of reproduction.

It could also be as much skill, great execution and a market.
That's not housekeeping though, that's in the case of fighting cancer. And based upon the mechanism you lay out, that's with outside intervention. That doesn't seem to expand out to "general housekeeping" when you're also dealing with medical science trying to kill cancer without killing you.
YMMV. I change my own oil - it takes me less time because I can get the parts as part of a different errand, and I can do something else while waiting for the oil to drain out. If I go to the dealer I spend an hour in their waiting room with nothing to do, plus travel time for a special trip.

You can do a lot better than dealer prices for oil changes if you don't do your own maintenance.
Correct, if a business model works and is successful it can lead to a monopoly. And there are laws that try to tackle that.

The legal presumptions is that adult persons are able to stand in court and tell the truth. Declaring someone insane (is this even possible in civil cases?) is intentionally hard and must not be used to protect notorious liars.

It's not the plaintiffs fault that Wright sticks to these highly unlikely and susceptible claims. If he is unwilling (because he fears possible sanctions) to come straight, it is own doing.

Maybe he got caught in his own web of lies (an investigation by the Australian tax is mentioned in the order) and sees no way to step back. Maybe he fears the shame of being exposed. Who knows.

I'm sure there is ample legal precedence to establish partnerships and shares in common property in situations without a formal agreement.

You’re fine. If a crash happens tomorrow, in 20 years time it will have completely recovered. Read about investment horizons. Over that timescale, you’re not at the mercy of market cycles. Once you get a bit closer to retirement, that’s when you want to start minimising risks. 5-10 years out, you would start looking at fixed income assets and stuff like that. You don’t want to delay your retirement because your 401k had a single bad year. Until then, go nuts with high growth funds. It doesn’t matter if you have a -10% year if your investment is growing strongly on average over 20 years, you just don’t want that year to be the one where you’re looking to start cashing out.

Teuton, Eine Deutsche Programmiersprache (2006)
If it's worth doing, and in the case of Law necessary to a functioning society, then if you regard society as positive sum then things that are necessary for it to function are part of what makes it positive sum. You can't strip them away, they don't exist on their own, they are part of the system itself, they exist in a context, and discarding that context over simplifies to the point of the absurd. It's like saying sanitation is positive sum but one of things that is necessary to make it work, proper plumbing, is not positive sum. You can't strip off the necessary pieces of something like that and regard them as things in and of themselves.

Salary negotiation is an excellent example of your blinders in this. I suppose you see it as the employee gets X dollar, employer loses X dollars, so it must be zero-sum. That get's too hung up on the easily tangible piece of the transaction and ignores the more complex context in which the negotiations take place. In truth, both employee & employer get something out of it. Obviously the employee gets a better salary. The employer, by providing the employee with the things that help make them a satisfied worker, gets higher productivity than otherwise, and perhaps a higher guarantee that the employee will stick around. Both win. They are cooperating, literally part of what game theory, from where the entire concept of zero sum comes, regards as integral to many positive sum outcomes.

It's about money laundering. The stamps give a sense of authenticity, that the gold came from legitimate sources.

By faking the stamp, gold from other sources (e.g. conflict zones) can be passed off as being from Swiss refineries, and thus used to launder money.

Well-off parents will simply have more incentive to disown their child.

The overall goal of affirmative action is to allow smart children, regardless of background, to break through the socio-economic glass ceiling regardles of the parent's decisions and abilities.

Although it can be seeing as a noble action, it is to wonder whether too much incentive on one side distorts the market too much, forcing well-off parents to spend higher % of their income to compete with Affirmative Action, including in gray and not so gray areas.
the hype around k8s is unreal..... But should everyone even learn k8s? A lot of the core features of k8s and container orchestration is getting abstracted away at a rapid pace with more things being built on top of k8s. I see this at my current company where we have a ton of ops people who have only ever used vmware....with cloud migration and container focused workflows being the standard now they are fearing like they are left behind. So I see a lot of them learning to code, trying to learn k8s, trying to become more devops with automation. Its quite a steep learning curve.

But by the time they catch up to this technology I have a feeling it will become less important to administer k8s directly.

Does anyone know why Chromium hasn't fixed this supposedly old regression bug where opening large minified js file in the source tab hangs the whole tab/browser, sometimes for more than 10 seconds even on a fast machine. Can't this be done asynchronously or at least give the user a way to cancel loading it? If you open a large file and then close developer tools, reload the page and open developer tools again, it will try to reopen the last opened file again, blocking chrome for another 10 seconds. Very annoying.
> accept a drastically lower standard of living

With sequestration costs at $100 - $300 per tonne for worst-case industries, climate change will cost trillions world-wide. That's a lot of money, but hardly a "drastically lower standard of living". Compare with Iraq war, or Apollo + Vietnam. Much less sacrifice than WW2.

Houston doesn't have official zoning. It does have land use regulations, including off-street parking mandates, which act like de facto zoning.

https://marketurbanism.com/2016/09/19/how-houston-regulates-...

> Here’s the doozy: Houston mandates off-street parking for just about every form of development. This is probably the number one regulation holding back the city’s rapid densification and a major reason that car-dependence remains the norm. By requiring developers to build either parking deserts and garages, this policy encourages developers to bypass exciting infill and downtown opportunities in favor of developing in the suburbs where land is cheap.
You are asking Dan, but answering from the bleachers: I think it's mostly just the length. If you write a short and direct comment that people are likely to disagree with, you invite short, direct and disagreeable answers. If instead your 'meatier' response to 'psychometry' (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20813149) had been part of the original, I think the responses might have been higher quality as well. It's not that short and direct comments are inherently bad, just that as early responses they can set a tone that discourages productive conversation. In any case, I appreciate your opinions and would be disappointed if you revert to silence.

Fuzzy String Matching (2010)
I think it is a misguided attempt at making the content dynamically adjust to the device proportions, so the screenshot is large but not overlarge (over screen size) on mobile and desktop devices of different orientations. A laudable goal, if badly implemented (I can't scale at all on mobile, it distorts oddly when I zoom on desktop).

Either that or deliberate user filtering: if you can't figure out right-click (or long press) then "open in new tab" on your own, then maybe you are not the class of user the creator wants to support :-).

I doubt the inconvenience is deliberate, more a side effect of some other design consideration. There are smaller images on each of the widget description pages (though they also scale oddly in places) which in total provide more detail than that one image. Perhaps drop the author a polite message suggesting that they include a "view full image" link near the screenshot on the opening page or with the image itself as the mouse target?
