It's also possible that is not feasible to do all that maintenance work and still keep the rates at what they are now. Until now, PG&E made believe like they were maintaining and state officials made believe that Californians were paying a market rate for power. Apparently they have to maintain an area roughly twice the size of Portugal https://www.pge.com/en_US/about-pge/company-information/prof... in all kinds of terrain.

So now CA state will probably take over and do something with liabilities.

> in developed post-Communist countries where people are especially dissapointed.

but are looking back at protectionism and far right politics, so their disappointment it's not something to really look up to, it's something to be scared of

Not only because the economy failed them, but because their anti communist sentiment made them reluctant to even engage in more balanced economies, because they are seen as a return of previous era when they where dominated by USSR.

So their disappointment is more like "society is not awarding me enough for my skills and my diligence" than "we should inject some socialism back in society"

And the enemy is the old same (it was an enemy in communists country as well)

Look at Poland for example

thousands of far-right activists and supporters marched to the U.S. Embassy in Warsaw to protest a law signed by Trump last year — the Justice for Uncompensated Survivors Today Act — that aims to help Jews seek compensation for property lost during the Holocaust.

Which is even worse than living in a country like Italy, where I live, where if you go to the hospital you don't have to rely on private insurances (good luck with that) or your own private money breaking bad style.

Yeah, that's the part that seems to get dropped in the discourse. Even when these vices had well-known places to gather - like the Silk Road, for example - they still leaked through into the world. But, after some of the most prominent platforms got busted, they're now scattered, so of course, some will try to get on encrypted platforms.

It's the same as a social media platform dying. Kik's recent demise undoubtedly brought a bunch of teens onto similar apps while some maybe reverted back to Facebook.
I honestly don't know exactly why it rubbed me the wrong way. Maybe because he's railing against capitalism (I can't even count the number of assertions in the article, and very little explanation or evidence is offered) and then procedes to try to sell his book based on what I personally think is a shallow understanding of the subject matter.

In general, complaining that the pop culture version of something is shallow and ineffective compared to a full understanding (which ironically, the author lacks), could be generalized without lack of accuracy. If you did that, it would be hard to find some ideolical construct to point a finger at, which seems to be his main objective.

Pushing your opinion is obviously okay in a newspaper. That's his right. I just won't be paying for it.

I've lately noticed a gradual decrease in the "detached analysis" coming out of The Guardian in favor of more idealist in-group circle-self-satisfaction. This probably feels good for some people but I don't think it's the way forward.

I never thought about it that way, but this is kind of true. Many apps I use everyday on Linux are available on Linux because they are built using Electron.

"The only people who are experts in a particular industry are the people running the businesses that make up that industry."

Funny. Yes. I worked at a consulting firm doing permitting for California (wetland delineations etc). The only way to get something approved was to use a former gov employee. They could write a proposal "correctly", attach the correct docs, etc. Gov employees knew the cash wasn't in their position, but, in consulting later on. Tin foil hat on: I also think, the Gov employees knew when a proposal wasn't from a former Gov employee -- and would reject -- thus keeping the cycle going.
Why do you think special relativity or quantum mechanics are “big leap” things? Those are huge systems of theories comprised of thousands of different experiments and mathematical results driven by thousands of different researchers, almost all of whom were pursuing very small scope, narrowly defined incremental gains of knowledge. Even modern quantum computing follows this pattern. People are not solving it with lots of leisure time. They are solving it within private companies as full time researchers or via industry grants, federal grants, university pipelines of incremental experiments, and focus on very straightforward scalability of known existing systems and so on.

If anything, examples like these highlight why the Thompson quote _is wrong_.

After 20 years of not using caps lock, two things happened in the last couple of years: (1) I taught myself to touch type "properly," and (2) I started using an IBM XT keyboard (the first layout in the linked article) with caps lock easily reachable with the right palm. Now I use caps lock and love it.

(I put "properly" in quotes because many---even most---type in a different way quite successfully. But for me, it really helped reduce the number of mistakes I made. With caps lock, I don't have to mess that up when I write LONG_UPPERCASE_CONSTANTS.)

California is a gigantic tinderbox of mismanaged forests, tons of dead and dry material laying around and with climate change, shit is even drier.
California is going to catch fire whether the power is on or not. A fucking car trailer started one of the major fires last year.
There's at least a decade of completely piss poor forest management responsible without controlled burns and fire breaks to plan for the _naturally destined to occur forest fires_.

I totally agree with you on this, I was just observing an unfortunate byproduct of an otherwise great system.

I agree, I'm certainly not demanding that anyone do anything to "solve" this issue.
If The Gardian stops telling people what they want to hear today, they'll have fewer paid members tomorrow.

There's more demand for spin based journalism (or activist journalism) than reporting nowadays. I suppose The Guardian - like others - are following the market trend.

I've heard the idea that all the different products were a cause in Nokia's downfall, since all the different product lines wouldn't be as profitable as one big series and it would prevent the designers and marketers from focusing on one model only, dispersing the efforts of the company.

Well, while its your right to avoid Nim for its syntax choices (I dislike the case insensitively strongly too), the tone of the comment makes one wanna reply "Just don't let the door hit you on your way out".

It's not as if some non-user of Nim announcing they'll avoid the language is any great loss.

I think that it depends on what you are doing. If it's just VPSs, then you may be able to scale farther than you think with DO.

If you want to do Lambda or use two or more of the other 1,000 AWS services, DO probably can't do it at all. But also consider things like Cloudflare or Netlify if they are applicable.

You will pay a high premium to use AWS. That might not make sense if you aren't a funded startup or don't need the broad range of services.
Please cite a source for this. Ethics are supposed to help with Buddhist practices towards achieving enlightenment from what I’ve read, not the other way round. If they came about as a result of meditation automatically, the Vinaya would not need to list so many rules for monks and nuns.
The character × is not universally used for multiplication - in various places in Europe we use . for multiplication, and not the · character, literally . as in 12.34 = 408. The only time × is used is for vector cross-product. And similarly we don't use ÷, we use :. I always thought * and / were a good compromise - the former for looking just like a fat dot, and the latter because it looks like a fraction written on a single line.
Plex perfectly encapsulates that philosophy.
they only have nearly twenty thousand miles of high tension power lines to look out after, how hard can that be /s?

then throw in a hundred thousand miles of everything else.

problems look simple until scale is understood. the real truth here is PG&E is effectively a state run corporation, they are so heavily regulated and managed by the state that the only "corporate" part of them is the investors who buy into these state regulated utilities in hopes of safe returns.

so in effect, the real guilty party here is the state government but the illusion must be kept in place that they are instead the fixers.

One of the biggest sources of browser security flaws was browsers during that era, also. Moreover browser makers had access to the Flash source code, and Flash was an open spec anyone could implement.

I don't think it's as simple as "web secure, everything else bad". For the very longest time only Chrome and Safari had working sandboxes, and there wasn't a huge difference in the exploit stream between WebKit, Flash, Java and Adobe Reader. They all had somewhat similar feature sets.

Ask HN: What follows after a great idea?
Ok, so, there is a lot of talk about startups and new businesses. However, despite the number of sources I read, I can't figure out where to now. I have several great ideas for products, small-batch start up. Eventually an UNfinished plan for expansion and so on, but I am just sitting around with these ideas in my head and don't know what/where to continue.

>In all fairness, multi-day power outages are a really rare event in a lot of places. And many households that own an EV also own an ICE vehicle. Also if power is out, you're not going to be able to fuel up either in the affected area.

Hah. I thought about this. In NY, we lost power for a month after hurricane sandy because the public utility completely imploded due the years of corruption finally reaching criticality when the hurricane came through. It was so bad they privatized the power grid. Anyone with a EV would have been absolutely fucked in the meantime. We even had gasoline rationing because :surprise: many gas stations had no power to run the pumps. (Gas stations now mandated by law to have generators).

Present, one is better off having an ICE vehicle instead of an EV if one lives anywhere with bad weather events and not living in a city where you can just walk everywhere.
Then it limits me as a programmer to have to use said UI...
Is there any good introduction how the original editor worked? I think I tried to use it once ages ago, but it wasn't really intuitive for me to use it for anything...

The part I remember: You could draw something, then advance to a different point in time, move stuff around there, and then this would form an animation(?).

What I didn't get at all: How would one be able to make a game out of this?
Personally I find the UI and terminology so willfully - almost obstinately - different to github's, that it's an absolute pain to navigate. I'm sure I could get used to it, but just now I just wanted to jump to the code, and it took roughly 30 seconds to find it hidden inside the 'repository' tab.
Married with 3 kids. I think the multiple errors in your assumption is due to poor thinking on at least two counts.

I live in the city, as my question may have suggested, and my family can cycle and walk and take the tram and bus and train everywhere we need to go in the city.

Also, we do have a vehicle, it's a campervan. We don't need it to do the shopping because we're walking distance to some small stores and get deliveries of groceries and fresh, organic vegetables (yum).

The reference to the safety of scooters may require you to provide some evidence. The children are required by myself to wear a helmet and their health is better.

No, more like not turning activists into content status quo followers. But it's problematic to discern the two.

> Agreed, macOS is much quicker to get going

It really depends on what you're preferences are. The author is customising Ubuntu to behave like macOS, so naturally it will take longer. I have the opposite problem where I've spent hours in total configuring macOS to be more Linux-like and it's keyboard controls are still not quite "right", CLI isn't quite "right", etc. It's still a nice OS to run but it will never behave quite like the my personal preferred platform.

However I'm not saying one OS is better nor worse than the other, just that the level of personalisation on modern OSs will always depend more on the person than the OS.
Facebook Agrees to Pay Cambridge Analytica Fine to UK
All this to say, it’s the governments fault for allowing PG&E to have the incentives it does. And I’d agree with you to an extent, but the solution being privatizing it and deregulating the power system is... maybe not the best. Corporations almost always have the same incentive structure as what you’re saying the CPUC has, short term profits over long term. The only difference is that rates would be higher along with PG&Es profits, since nobody would go in and build a second power grid and they’d have a de facto monopoly.
Hey, thanks for the question. Policy testing is described in detail here: https://www.openpolicyagent.org/docs/latest/policy-testing/

As for where policies are stored, we keep them with the service and later mount in a K8s pod as a ConfigMap. OPA then downloads missing data from the Bundle Service. Integration testing is more or less the same, with OPA declared as a container in Docker Compose.
