Today, I drove home from Las Vegas to Portola Valley. I went 95->6->120 over Tioga pass, then home.

I've driven this route over several decades. My recollection (corroborated by a few Kodachrome slides) is that my windshield would be smeared with bug impacts by the time I got to Lee Vining, necessitating a stop at the humongously overpriced gas station so I could use their window cleaners. Since about 15 years ago, not so much.

I had a total of three bugs at Lee Vining today. I bypassed the gas station and window cleaning, went over Tioga.

If we're really missing the quantities of bugs my anecdote may illustrate, it's no wonder the birds are missing, too.
Yes! If this could be mashed up with different levels of diagrams I think this would be extremely useful for visualizing the components
Because people invest big chunks of their lives in communities. I realize that many tech workers in SF are normally ignorant of the lives of the people around them though.
The parent comment was “if you want this policy, tough shit move to Europe”. If the policy is popular here, why doesn’t parent comment move?
Great place to get a drink. So is Fat Jacks.
Can't read the article so I don't know if they cover it, but this whole topic is unproductive due to binary thinking. The mild rent control being enacted statewide in Oregon and California doesn't seem much like the strict rent control resulting in people having far below-market rents?
Your proof is that you “personally know a lot of people who know and insist on not opting out”? That’s anecdotal evidence at best (aka not proof).
Even if this was the case, and even if there was no realistic workaround to it (the article you linked mentions aerosol emission mitigation), this will happen at some point. Would you rather this happens now, or when the world has warmed 5 degrees already?
You actually said 2 things. I thought your first point was perfectly reasonable, as you misinterpreted it.

> Whats with companies constantly throwing people in the trenches and forcing them to be in constant maintanence mode all the time?

> Because companies like to make money, and they can't make money when systems fail.

The second issue you raised is a nonsequitor, because you clearly misconstrued the initial point. Your refusal to acknowledge there was a different interpretation, pretending you meant something nonsensical on purpose, has compounded the optics.
GL with that.
Full blown commie blocs make more sense than rent control. If you're going to give stuff out for free, just go all the way. The government trying to make a compromise that depends on straining the market in some artificial way never ends well. It's the same with healthcare. Look at that mess. It was better when it was free market and would probably be better socialized, but in between it's trash.
I was assuming 100% solar, but sure you could go for wind.
There is the general game of how much overcapacity you are willing to build -> in traditional grids your generation is slightly exceeding you peak needs. However, in renewable grid you probably should build significantly more (>>2X) than your peak needs, and minimise your need for battery storage.

That gives funny dynamics, where for some days electricity prices could be 0 or even negative.
LA and Boston did this and now just have vacant high-rises to show for it. And, really, greedy homeowners are the least of our worries compared to real-estate developers and landlords.

I've seen the idea of a vacancy tax thrown around. Not sure how effective it would be, but might be worth trying.
Do you think it is likely that the person you're replying to doesn't know this or are they simply calling attention to the fact that Medicaid recipients receive care that they themselves do not pay for?

Is the statement in some way unclear? Care to suggest a rephrasing?
I'm running Fedora on a maxed out X1 5th and it's the best Linux laptop I've ever had. The T series would work fine too (sometimes I miss one extra USB port).
More to the point then, is there anything that sits between the high quality generalist journals and generalist scientific magazines (Nat Geo. and the like)?

I can and do read Nature and Science, but outside of my PhD field I find it pretty slow going and often feel like I'm missing out on what could be interesting findings due to not having sufficient background to fully understand the problem space.
I don't think that specific part fucks over Facebook; Facebook doesn't sell data (it sells ads based on the data, which, having skimmed the law, it doesn't seem to cover).
If you want something long term, you must own.

I'm not suggesting it's easy to own, but emphasizing that the rental market is a market, and rents change whenever a new contract comes due. If you want to smooth the rates over a long time horizon, buy something or sign a long-term lease.
Hey there! I built this after trying some of the mainstream solutions. Some of them tried to do too much for me, while others didn't combine tracking+invoicing, or were too expensive imho. I created it for myself and after a few months using it, I'd like to make it public.
> Many products could be produced without fossil fuels

Sure. But at the same price, at least initially? A delivery company will change its fleet to electric trucks if it costs less. Otherwise, it means that the consumer has to pay the price difference.
Sure, for labor-intensive crops, you might think that.

But the US doesn't subsidize labor-intensive crops.
A lot of existing policies favor the existing owners of the real estate (not even the renters)

"Not everyone is entitled to live where they want" is like... OK sure. But only land owners used to be able to vote. It makes a lot of sense to help out renters through policies that might harm owners.
Something seems off here. She is suing Lyft, ok. NO WHERE that I can see, does she demand that her rapists be prosecuted and be sentenced for their crime. Her focus is only on suing Lyft. If I was raped, I would be demanding that my rapists be charged and sent to prison, not only for closure for myself, the security of knowing they are off the street and I'm not in danger anymore, but also knowing they won't be able to do this to another woman! Instead it's all about Lyft not taking her complaint seriously and being insensitive. It appears she didn't even tell them what happened right away. Am I missing something?
Oh, I thought they meant the currently active laws. My bad.
How can reserves be too low when there are $1.4 T in excess reserves? How can repo rates spike to nearly 10% when the interest earned on those $1.4 T reserves only yields 1.80%?

edit: more questions. As I understand it, the "repo market" is broader than only banks. Why is it that the Fed performing repo operations will alleviate the liquidity issue in the repo market, unless it is some such bank borrowing in the repo market that is the cause of the problem? And given the point about the size of excess reserves, and the low yield they earn, is there any way for the repo rate to have spiked unless there were some bank that weren't able to muster adequate collateral?

Just because your hacker news user id is anonymous doesn't mean your account can't have an ad targeting profile built based on it if HN decided. They are sort of independent, and most sites don't care so much about who you actually are, but rather that you can be shown relevant ads.

I'm not even in their country, pretty sure I'm not going to get extradited for breaking the privacy laws of a jurisdiction in which I have no physical presence.
I think the silliness comes from trying to apply idea of subsidies to people, the concept is meant for companies operating in a market. It's meant to address fairness of one company competing with another.
You say that but the vast majority of housing being built in CA is "luxury" accommodations. Luxury homes, luxury apartments, luxury condos. Nothing else justifies the cost of land, the developers say, and hence nothing else gets built. Meanwhile short-term rentals are cannibalizing existing housing stock. I was born here, and like hell would I tolerate some random fuck telling me I'm not entitled to live here.

You're saying the only people entitled to live on desirable land are wealthy assholes coming from afar? "I'm sorry, the only place you're entitled to live at your income level is that shithole next to the meatpacking/chemical/whatever plant. Why are you complaining? You can live with all your other equally-abled friends!"

This is how you create ghettos.

Literally the second sentence of the article
Rent control in SF is not really a problem:

https://www.cato.org/publications/research-briefs-economic-p...

Pretty much the only study I’m
aware of that took the issue head-on, from the Cato institute.

They found that rent control greatly benefits recipients, that rents increase diffusely citywide (about 5%), and that the overall positive and negative impacts were roughly equally balanced (~$3Bn over 17 years). The net is slightly positive, in fact.

In other words, rent control pretty much does what’s printed on the tin: helps certain renters a lot, hurts others a tiny amount, averages out to zero net impact. Here’s the TL;DR:

”On net, incumbent San Francisco residents appear to come out ahead, but this is at the great expense of welfare losses from future inhabitants.”

You can certainly debate the desirability of that outcome, but it’s exactly as advertised.
You’re still saying “tough shit”, but only to younger people and families. Mostly seniors and older people are protected.
Seasons might play a role? Summer is almost over.

Ask HN: Accounting Software with Best API
We're looking to streamline our accounting entries, integrating it with our online platform, and develop additional tools for our users, there are a few options.

What is your experience with programming for your accounting software? Would you recommend it?

Any suggestions would be helpful for myself, and others. We're specifically looking for software that is meant for small, and medium sized businesses.
You could also go full docker and experiment with docker swarm. I have little experience with swarm itself, but AWS ECS has deployment strategy. You could say you want 50 container instances on a fleet of 50 machines with deployment strategy of spreading across all machines and you would guarantee that every single machine is populated with a docker container. Maybe try to look for a similar functionality thinking about you bare metal machines as a single fleet of instances. Do you manage your containers configs with environment variables? I think docker also let's you share the hosts environment with the docker container, so you can pre provision the server with the necessary information and once the swarm is deployed, the container figures out what to do with the hosts env. Applying that to the spread across machines deployment strategy and you solve your problem.
What is an ACH?

And when you say "Connect your bank account..." does that mean this only works in the USA? Would be nice if this was mentioned somewhere.
In SF anyway, there are more renters than owners, and we live in a democracy, so the incentives are obvious.
I'm going to make the point that this is comparing an actual warts-and-all reality to a hypothetical "someone very reasonable will just get it right" system - the reality will never measure up to an ideal. That out of the way...

Public policy is not a magic wand that creates something from nothing. Governments that believe that tend to be called socalist and the worst case scenario for socalist governments tends to be much worse than for capitalist governments. Public policy can allocate resources from people who make money to people who make less money, but it is a lousy tool for trying to create more housing when there is not enough housing. A much better policy would be to remove government restrictions that actively prevent or disincentivise people from building housing/renting it out. That is to say: less controls on rent and construction.

> 4.8 million households in the U.S. depend on Section 8 to afford rent. These are direct subsidies to landlords to house these people.

I don't like welfare either, but it is certainly a step up from rent controls. Rent controls are an actively destructive policy that work directly against getting everyone in a house. Welfare is only questionable incentive structure and some welfare is appropriate.
> The parent comment was “if you want this policy, tough shit move to Europe”. If the policy is popular here, why doesn’t parent comment move?

If you want rent control, I'm saying you should go elsewhere.

If you are against rent control, my comment did not imply what you should or shouldn't do.
Correct.

They're semantically European but syntactically not. :-)

i.e. in the OECD countries..

So insect population changed drastically within a decade? A decade doesn't seem that long for changes in cars.
Agreed, no regulations or over-the-top ridiculous regulations are both likely awful.

I also agree that "owners" are likely to try to influence politicians. However, "owners" intentions are probably relevant to the discussion. For instance, there may be existing owners who want to have zoning that prohibits new construction for multifamily units near their golf course. They would see a "developer" who wants to build multifamily units as "bad". Presumably, in this scenario many would support the "developer", ceteris paribus.

On the other hand, if the "owners" were in an area that was being gentrified and there were "developers" who wanted to construct luxury condos in the area (with similar density to the multifamily units discussed above), the "developers" would be "bad" and the "owners" would be the good guys to many.

Politics is inherently involved in both cases as you allude to in your response. The question is which politics is going to better resolve the "crisis" - it appears many will bet on politicians/government to resolve the "crisis". While most politicians can talk a great game, I haven't seen a lot of results from any of them from either party in any geography which tempers my confidence politicians have anything to do with a solution...

Does a semi-automatic handgun qualify as "high-powered weaponry?"

The "Laboratories of Democracy" idea is unrealistic for firearms, and most issues. States don't control their borders. Though, it's against federal law to buy a handgun from an FFL out of state and a long gun can only be purchased out of state if said long gun is legal in a buyer's home state.

In general, do you think that gun crimes (e.g. possession of a firearm by a felon) are adequately prosecuted?

I'm not interested in talking about the US Constitution. We both already know each other's arguments. I'm not even interested in changing your opinion. I'm a lurker, but I've read your comments for years and respect you.

The logistics of your ideal scenario interest me. Canada gave up on registering long guns because it was infeasible.

Would you support a law requiring background checks for all purchase of firearms under the condition that the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) is made available for all citizens to use (not just FFLs), free of charge, using a driver's license number of the potential purchaser?

Do you think that the progression of low-cost CNC machines, such as the Ghost Gunner, is a hurdle for the gun control measures that you want implemented?

The serialized lower receiver is what is considered a firearm in America. Do you want to regulate all firearm components, such as barrels, handguards, etc?
> That magic wand is called public policy.

Public policy doesn't exempt resources from economic forces, it's just a mechanism to divert resources from one area to another. It just allows you to fudge a little bit, push resources here and there. The Soviet Union eventually collapsed because towards the end for all their fudging they couldn't keep up net economic production. All effective policymaking comes from understanding constraints and operating within them to achieve the best outcome. For that reason - pretending that constraints don't exist is a recipe for bad policy.
Yes, if you arbitrarily decide that “I don’t have to be consistent with regard to that issue”, you get to weasel out of all kinds of inconsistencies.
Do you just want to log the scripts execution or do you want something more structured? If it's the former you can redirect the output from within the bash script with this (apologies for any condescension, I'm not familiar with your skill tree):

if [ ! -t 1 ]; then
exec > /my/log/file 2>&1
fi

The if statements tests if your at an interactive prompt, if your not all output from the script get's redirected to /my/log/file. The above poster is instead redirecting into a subprocess " > (tee)" that will both print the output and log it.

It should be noted that often the bottleneck is the terminal itself, try running your scripts with a "> /dev/null" to suppress output and verify the slow part is actually the script.
> 1,000 pellets for air guns

Airgun pellets are not BBs. BBs are small lightweight plastic spheres. Airgun pellets are ammunition for airguns, they are usually moulded lead or a lead free alloy. Some pellets may be metal ball bearings, but usually that are shaped with a round or bullet like head and a flange at the back.

Search AliExpress.com. There are loads of sellers of plastic BBs. I doubt they are licensed. But there is notably no airgun pellets for sale!

That should have been Chef's only response, really.
(That, and they still need to explain how a former developer somehow managed to break something.)
I've been living in the same place for 3 years in CA, right on the beach. Have not had any rent increase in that time. It's probably a rarity, but pretty sure this will ensure mgmt raises prices to the max every year as they know they can't do large increases when they need it.

So this will likely hurt many, many other renters. Not to mention makes it harder to move across town (they'll do massive rent increases every time a unit is vacant in anticipation of not being able to do it while you're there) and will hurt any newcomers to the state (ya know the same shit we like to bitch about Boomers doing).
> You're saying the only people entitled to live on desirable land are wealthy assholes coming from afar?

Rich or poor, asshole or not asshole: No one is entitled to live anywhere.

There is only a market price. That's all.
All "blue" cities unsurprisingly. It would be incredibly positive if they turned this around. The government is not the place for community action, your homes, neighbours, streets, churches, farmers markets, local watering holes, et all are.
Do I take it that you don't want to address any of the other issues I raised?

If you really think that "creep" means 'fat and ugly', then why do you think Stallman is ugly while I don't? A lot of people are fat and ugly. Most aren't considered creeps. You called out Bieber's creeping behavior, so what's your definition of creep that doesn't involve being fat and ugly?

Congratulations on your doubt. What evidence would change your mind?

Are you one of those men who like to leer at attractive women's breasts, give wolf whistles to women walking by, and tell women 'they need to smile more; they are too pretty to be sad", and say it's meant as friendly compliment?

Because if so, you are one of the misogynist problems in this world.

If not, then there's plenty of examples right there of women who do not consider those to be 'friendly behavior' even when the men regard it as such.

Again, "Autistic people" is not an excuse for 30 years of continued behavior in Stallman's position. The vast majority of autistic people are not sexual creeps.

So what? It takes two Google searches to find Nazis living in Antarctica, Flat Earthers, and Moon Landing denialists. As far as I can tell, there have been no pope which advocated for the political, economic, personal, and social equality of the sexes, and especially not at the time of Galileo.

FWIW, I looked and didn't find what you were talking about.
Means is a form of entitlement. Free market economics creates massive inequality. That's the whole issue at stake here.
> why doesn’t parent comment move?

you'd probably get a better answer if you were to ask the person who made that comment.
Well, of course, because that's what the bill is forcing your landlord to do.

If they, looking at housing starts and the economy and projecting out, think that there's a chance that there'll should be a 40% increase over five years, they now have to raise your rent to have a chance to get there and also know that the other landlords in the quasi-market that they're competing with will be doing the same.
The report linked in fact does such gap analysis.
