California has gone from virtually non-existent solar to generating 14% of it's power in well under 10 years and the growth is accelerating. In the same time period, the amount of power generated by wind has more than doubled.

Given how much of California power generation is natural gas (nearly 50%), if we can move to a future where batteries aren't a solved economic problem but natural gas plants are used to provide supplemental power to "unreliable" renewables, that's still an absolute win.

>1.5 degrees

I was under the impression that there was worldwide consensus that we will pass 1.5 -- that it's too late to realistically prevent that. More, that if you count from the late 19th and early 20th century averages we've already passed 1.5.

Autonomous drone delivery "solves" many of the issues when compared to having the FedEx/UPS truck and a driver drive to my location, not the least of which is the small army of locally-based drivers who want to be paid in local wages.

Depending on who you ask, driverless vehicles are either right around the corner, or 5-10 years away. Meanwhile, drone delivery is possible, right now, and the airspace above my house is generally empty. (It's being done "in prod" for medicine delivery in Rwanda. iirc those are not autonomous though.)

Like delivery options that exist now, I wouldn't expect drone delivery to be instantaneous either.

> > Would you approve of a law forbidding the use of cameras in public places?

> This one is difficult. At any earlier time, no.

I suspect the best solution here is laws around how the data from public cameras is stored and processed. Cameras that store a temporary loop of data, delete it after a day or two, and don't upload that data to the cloud are one thing. Cameras that upload every image to the cloud for permanent storage where face recognition software is used to track you movement around the city or your emotional state throughout the day are a different beast.

> My company has a ton of apps on multiple Kubernetes clusters, none of them very big. From my perspective, it's a huge win in operational simplicity over the "old" way. Docker itself is a benefit, but the true benefits come when you can treat your entire cluster as a virtualized resource and just throw containers and load balancers and persistent disks at it.

And I agree. However...

I'm referring to the companies and people who don't think like you do and instead think, "We need to build everything as a microservice and have it orchestrated on K8s". I'm thinking of the people who have a monolith that's scaling fine, solving a problem, and generating income, but an executive has been sold on K8s and now wants to refactor it.

Your use case makes perfect sense, but very few people are thinking like that, sadly.

In my opinion if you're starting out with Docker and K8s, you're going down the right path, but only provided you're not starting with microservices.

Like you said it's a tool and like with most tools there is a balance between over engineering its use.

> Could you find one economist that would say that an unpriced externality is not a subsidy?

All of them?

>This isn't a tortured analogy, it isn't an unconventional use of the term, these things are economically equivalent.

No they are not. This isn't the equivalent of a tax break that other companies are being taxed for. It's a think for which no taxes exist for anyone. No industries are being taxed for these externalities.

It doesn't fit any of the dictionary definitions: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/subsidy

>Most people don't know the word "externality," so using a less precise term that they do know is not in any way deceptive.

It's not a less precise term. It's the wrong term. Might as well call it a bailout if you're going for political outrage.
New Zealand used to have a dawn chorus of birds before it was settled by Europeans.

"When Captain Cook came to the Queen Charlotte Sound in 1770, his botanist, Joseph Banks, described the dawn chorus he heard in his journal.
'This morn I was awakd by the singing of the birds ashore from whence we are distant not a quarter of a mile, the numbers of them were certainly very great who seemd to strain their throats with emulation perhaps; their voices were certainly the most melodious wild musick I have ever heard, almost imitating small bells....'.

The dawn chorus doesn't exist now for two reasons: forest was felled and converted to farmland, and bird/egg eating mammals were introduced.

New Zealand is trying to stop the decline in our bird numbers and threatened species, and we are even succeeding in small areas. We have been leading the world at completely eradicating pests from some islands, and fencing off some forest areas within our cities, and eradicating all mammals (rats/stoats/cats) within them.

Fortunately New Zealand is quite progressive on environmental issues (although we need to do way better), and about 5% to 10% of our parliament is the Green Party (who regularly have real power by forming coalition governments or strategic voting on bills). I think much of their policy is whacko, but as a minority they work well to effect change and represent the large number of New Zealanders that care deeply about our environment.

There is no need for artificial meat, just eat less meat, and eat more veggies, nuts and beans. They are way better for you and provide a lot of micro nutrients (anti - oxidants, phytochemical etc) that may or may not exist in artificial meat. Artificial meat is a processed food, and like any other may have the same problems.

You proved my point ironically. It is all about "punishing the bad ones for their past sins" as opposed to going forward the impact of the law - the part to actually think about. Instead straight to emotionally knee jerk driven narratives of "they are bad and must be punished" instead of what the law is actually about. See emotions come out and the thinking on the topic like "would it actually help with Cambridge Analytica 2.0" go kaput.

It is an old trick narrative for pushing terrible "tough on crime" laws for advancement. If you point out that it isn't a well thought out idea you support bad people!
That stylization is very exhausting (yes, I know what a "ket" is)
It's pretty presumptious of people to assume that when they visit a website that it's just "their" data. The website receives the user, just as much as the user comes to the website. The data of visiting a website belongs to both the company and the user. To simply assume that it entirely belongs to the user is just wrong.
Well, what's the alternative? Things like wind and solar advance quickly not because there's a bit less regulation, but because there's massively less. Turbine and module designs don't have to be approved by a controlling bureaucracy. And they can get away with empirical, field-testing-based improvement because the consequences of field failures are manageable.

Nuclear is not like that. Learning-by-meltdown would be completely unacceptable. It's not even acceptable in non-democracies. And even aside from that, proliferation concerns would guarantee a controlling bureaucracy exists.

You're correct in other ways as well:

The "lightning" network (heh) still requires slow Bitcoin transactions to initiate and close. And it's between two trusted parties anyway, so this negates the need for a trustless network like Bitcoin.

A far better "lightning network" has existed for many years. It's called a shared SQL database.

Then I accidentally broke the GX85, and it didn't take long to get the itch to take photos again. So I finally made the jump to full frame with a used A7RII. Man, big difference. In image quality and size of course. Not trying to convert you, M43 still has a place in my heart, but check out used prices on the Sony Alphas. You can get something like an A7II for less than the cost of that Oly 12-40. ;)

Although I'm a big fan of Algolia search (because it's freakin' fast) I happen to know little to nothing of your search model other than what I have learned from Algolians chipping in right here on HN.

I used to be quite impressed with Lucene, even at version 1.0 (when a fuzzy search meant a full table scan), then watched in joy when they conquered the search market, before realizing how it struggled (and still does) with, well, I hate to say it (because I'm usually ridiculed when I bring this up), y'know, big (-ish) data. The proposed and popular solution: sharding the data onto a cluster of machines.

Algolia seems to be a focused, streamlined and more efficient ElasticSearch, at least in the FTS use case.

I've worked almost exclusively in e-com for ~20 years. Algolia FTS+personalization seems to fit the e-commerce use case pretty darn well.

I wonder, regarding "Algolia Query Rules" (which also seems like a real killer-feature for e-commerce):

>> automatically transforming a query word into its equivalent filter (“cheap” would become a filter price< 400...

How do you translate "cheap" into "price<400"? By maintaining a dictionary? Also, what if some people think 400 is quite expensive?

I want to build or implement a search engine that is inherently self-maintained in the same way you and me are self-maintained. As humans, however, we do have a serious flaw. In order for us to maintain an index of our knowledge we need to sleep. To start with I'd like to try to mimic that construct, then move past it.
This is kinda bullshit though. Our lifestyle is the problem, which is multiplied by our population. If you just took the US and Europe, wiped out everyone else, we'd still be destroying our world.
OK so if I understand you, you are worried that companies are collecting data on people and then using that data to give them more personalized ads. These ads may convince people to buy or do things that they otherwise wouldn't. It's not just that people would buy Chevys instead of Fords. They could be convinced to vote differently and support harmful policies.

I hope that's an accurate summary of your view.

I have a few points.

First, I don't think targeted advertising is much more effective than your typical magazine ad, TV commercial, radio ad, or movie trailer. In all of those cases, the advertisers know the demographics of who is consuming that media and can target pretty effectively. And if targeting was far more effective than old school ads, advertisers would pay significantly more for targeted ads, but they don't seem to. CPC for Facebook and Twitter is about the same (~50 cents), despite one allowing for much more fine-grained targeting. And I doubt LinkedIn does better targeting than Facebook, but LinkedIn's CPC is 10x higher.

Second, is this an instrumental value or a terminal value for you? eg: If all advertising were banned (or at least heavily taxed), would you no longer want a ban on companies storing customers information? If so, I'd like to hear why.

Third, what if we could pass laws that caused the benefits of targeted ads to outweigh the downsides? For example: We could ban targeting for politics. Then people could still get ads for more things they want, such as some software that would help them or some new barbershop that opened near them. That seems like a win-win to me.

Lastly, whenever I see an argument between to sides, I pay attention to emotions. In my experience, the less emotional side tends to be the more correct one. If a side mostly engages using disgust, anger, and catastrophizing, I get very suspicious. If I had to pick the more emotional side in this thread, it would definitely be the side that accuses the other of, "violating basic human decency", of being "horribly unethical", and doing "stupid privacy violating shit". On the other side, pretty much everyone against this law seems to think it's mistaken, not evil.
Also known as "awesome goto".
I almost always prefer hotels over AirBnB-style accomodations, but when I do want a house or something, I use VRBO rather than AirBnB. At least within the US, I find it more to my liking both in terms of booking experience and quality/selection of properties. No idea how it compares outside the US, as I always book hotels when traveling abroad.
So the problem here is I may already have a function in my program called bcmp, which takes no arguments and prints "better consider more possibilities" to standard output. This is all fine and legal. My program also uses memcmp, because of course it does. But now calls to memcmp are going to be replaced to with calls to bcmp, which does not have the same effect at all.

I should have said "whitespace" sensitive. I use either spaces or tabs depending on whatever standard was set by the codebase I work on (for personal projects, I use spaces).

As for screen real estate, I couldn't care less. What I do care more about is not wasting time making sure indentation levels are correct after a nasty merge, or fat fingering something that changes the logic of a statement, or not being able to easily move a block to another or not being able to visualize which blocks are collapsed or not due to a lack of separation, etc.

I've spent plenty of time in languages that are whitespace sensitive (python, haskell primarily) earlier in my career, but I would never go back.

Epic has to pay publishers for exclusivity and most of the time still only gets one year of exclusivity. Steams strength was always the long tail, and personally I'm not that worried about getting games a year later.

EA (Origin) and Activision/Blizzard (Battle.net) have their own launchers and don't publish on Steam. But while those are some of the biggest brands it's a tiny portion of the overall industry: maybe 4-10 dozen exclusive games in Origin + Battle.net + Uplay + Epic Store, but a few thousand on gog and a few tens of thousand on Steam
