Ask HN: Good references for oncall alert reference
In my organisation, everyone writes alert reference (handbook about how to fix an alert during oncall) in different way which creates frustration for oncall person. I am looking for a good template for alert reference. If you have any thoughts on it, kindly share please.

Problems:
- They become big as the architecture gets complex.
- They are mostly vague because noone knows all the possible causes of an alert.
It's meaningless depending on what you're trying to predict.

In this case, no doubt they want to "predict" that the market for expensive electric cars will be limited. Of course the current owners of a Tesla are homeowners with garages that care more about having a fancy car than about the total cost of ownership.

But at least in the sedan market, the top 4 sellers (in the U.S.) are the Toyota Camry, Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, and Honda Accord. More people want pickup trucks and SUVs, but for those that just prefer a sedan, they just want something that works and is affordable.

Given all that, the total cost of ownership is a better tool for comparison, but obviously this article only looks at fuel costs and opportunity costs, without including other relevant variables.
Worth noting: Andy Slye did an in-depth real-world analysis of his Model 3 for the first 10k miles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0MjZOR89Fk

He got $0.0206 per mile. Much lower than the article's estimates.
Well, Switzerland may not have access to a sea, but it has a haven. A tax haven. A lot of ships are owned by corporations in those.

Yeah but this isn't a home. Most people don't want to buy a 20k masonic template and live it in. Given what the upkeep must be, your most likely buyers probably want to rent out the space to businesses. So it's priced according to what the demand is, which is apparently small.
1. I think I'm conscious. Therefore, under the axiom "Consciousness experiences the reality in which it lives the longest." I must be experiencing the reality in which I live the longest.

2. I am not the best version of me. I'm 40 pounds overweight, I have poor sleep habits, I wheeze going up stairs, I don't wear sunscreen when going outside in the summer. There is strong evidence that all of these things shorten my life. There's a couple of moles I occasionally worry about yet I do nothing.

3. So either the versions of me that keep perfectly fit, exercise just the right amount to maintain health without putting too much strain on the body, wear sunscreen, and keep a regular sleep cycle of an appropriate duration are inevitably doomed to die young (is there a 100% chance of a famine across all quantum worlds I exist in, where I'll need to survive off of my body fat for 3+ months?), I am not actually conscious, I just think I am(?), or the proposition "Consciousness experiences the reality in which it lives the longest." must be false.

(Now obviously, you can't take my word for me being conscious, because that's exactly what a p-zombie would say, but you can ask yourself if you are conscious and if there is any way you can be better than you are now; if the answer is "yes" to both questions and you still believe in quantum immortality, you should start trying to figure out what inevitable catastrophe your life-shortening vices make you suited to survive, more than not having those life-shortening vices.)
Fed Up with Facebook? Here Are 6 Alternatives
Sorry I worded my comment poorly. I meant that the code examples at the top don’t seem to prioritize showing those distinctions. If you scroll down they have a separate section but I think it would be nice to showcase all the features on the first samples so that you can see right away how it looks.

> An illusion is just a false perception of reality

False perception to whom?

> Why couldn't I program this computer to think it's conscious

Who is thinking it is conscious?

> and to experience its visual data

Experience how?

All these words you're using already require consciousness.

You're essentially saying "You don't really experience at all, you're experiencing an illusion!" Can't you see how that is a contradiction? The experience of experiencing an illusion can't itself be an illusion. And that's all we're saying consciousness is: that experience. If you experience anything, that's consciousness.
This is certainly cool and I love my Craftbot 3d printer. However, one has to mention the problems with using 3d printed devices like this. This is not to tear apart the project, but I would hope valid criticism. Medical gear like this is commodity stuff that is actually very inexpensive. I do think 3D printing will democratize the really expensive medical equipment, but we are not there yet.

#1 cleanability - It is very hard to properly clean a 3d printed item and each print may be a little different than the others.

#2 Cost - For the same cost, I can buy a stethoscope on Aliexpress that is made from aluminum and pvc. For about $5 I can purchase an actual Littmann replica made from the same durable parts as the previously mentioned steth from Aliexpress. The same goes for all of the designed products they have.

#3 Durability - PETG and ABS are relatively durable, but they do not compare to aluminum in terms of strength. In emergent situations, I would not trust plastic for my gear. In the clinical setting, I can see the use case, but still like the term "buy once, cry once" when it comes to tools that will see lots of use.
I don't think here are available storage solution for renewables and even if there was it would need to be a solution scalable without a risk of running out of resources to make the batteries.
Renewables are great but they work on the shoulders of nuclear/coal which need to pick up the load when there is no sun/wind.
Renewables feel like paying more for getting less with different but not necessarily less pollution issues.
It's like image hosting sites, right? Eventually they all turn into ExpertsExchange and another site springs up that promises to do it all different. StackExchange held out longer than I would have expected.
On reflection, I will say one thing:

I consider Apple's restrictions on monetizing apps to be shenanigans. It feels normal to me for them to insist on a cut from app sales and in-app purchases.

It feels like shenanigans for them to try to block developers having revenue side-channels. I know this is very uneven, for example, I can download an Amazon Prime app and use it, even though I pay for Amazon prime elsewhere.

But in the Amazon app, there are certain things I can't buy in the app, nor is the app allowed to link me to a web page where I can buy it.
“Hi regulated utility, I’d like to pay more for a premium product that your government overseers will have no problem with your providing.” :)

Less jokingly, actions like contacting a company (especially as a customer or as a potential customer) is more effective then you think- companies want to keep their customers happy and it’s pretty well assumed that one customer complaining means many more (probably thousands) thinking the same thing.

Hey, Dewriter: you posted a similar link earlier today, but it seems to be gone now, either deleted or flagged.

Have you checked the Guidelines [1]? I suspect HN is not the right forum for that type of content.

Posting to see what HN thinks about the companies listed here.
Try remoteok.io and weworkremotely.com. Dice or Indeed might work too.

It's not so much looking for part-time remote work, so much as looking for remote work and then seeing if they'll handle part time.

Independent contracting or consulting is also an option, but that has it's own caveats -- but might also be a better fit.
That stuff exists, it just costs a lot of money. Well, except for a functional family, money can't buy that. Want a house that looks clean and perfectly staged all the time? Hire a full-time cleaner to come every day and sweep, pick up, do the dishes, etc.

The lie in those commercials is that their target audience can never afford something like that. So in a sense, you're right, they're showing "you" what you can never have.
And for most of the history of the consoles you had to have overpriced developer machines. Are you proposing that Apple be forced to port XCode to Windows?
Sort of, but if they're going to drag in purchase price differential, they need to add in other total cost of ownership figures, like repairs, as well as list the feature delta. Most of that cost difference is in the features included in the car other than the EV portion, so it's disingenuous to use the full value in comparing fuel costs.

I doubt people are buying a Tesla because they think it's cheaper long term, but fuel cost is part of that decision.
Whoa I didn't know this! What a shame.

Apparently the same thing has been happening to Elora Gorge. And any of us on the GTHA region have heard the sunflower farm story, I'm sure. (https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-how-the-quest...)
That's just the way Google chooses to use OAuth when handling user data.

> I'll almost certainly have it only allowed in headers irregardless of the HTTP verb used. This does mean you won't be able to use your browser to test GET's,

There is very probably a way to (ab)use HTTP Auth for this such that it's still possible to test GETs with simple URL strings or links in a browser.
What applications in the Apple store are able to function as the default SMS app or the default web browser engine? On Android, I can use Signal for SMS and Firefox for browser engine. On my spouse's iPhone, the iOS applications with the same names are severely restricted in their functionality. Blocking ads, scripts, and tracking is significantly more difficult.

If you believe these are core OS functions, and therefore not subject to competition, Microsoft has a old story to tell you about Internet Explorer web browser and Windows 95 OS.
I'm not a doctor but I've dated enough med students to tell you that the value proposition of being an MD is far overrated. You have no more earning potential than a typical SWE, or less if you're not one of the top earning specialities. But the top earners don't hit their potential for a LONG time, and work insane hours. Probably most doctors are lucky to be broke, ie just finished paying off student loans, by 40, assuming a normal med school timeline. It makes more sense economically and sanity-wise to switch to law.
It could be a magneto as well, which is more finicky to tune, but still mechanically simple and robust.

One of my major requirements when I was shopping for my last car was that it not have a cell modem to enable connected car features. It's too difficult for them to monetize your data if they can't get it off your car in near-real time. I also reckon it's a bit more secure.

The car salesmen have no idea about whether the cars they're selling have modems or not, so I found you have to ask about them indirectly in terms of features. I has success with this line of questioning: 1) Does this car have connected car features? 2) If it does, and I decide to get them later, can you enable them from your computer without me having to bring my car in? If the answer is yes to both questions, the car has a modem.

Unfortunately, my wife wanted a car that failed that test. However, my research had indicated that those features seem to be implemented by a module that's separate from the entertainment system. Hopefully I can physically disconnect it without the car nagging about it being missing, but that's a project for another day.

The Tesla lets you set a preferred charging time, so you can just plug in and it will charge off peak in the normal case. You can then override that if you need to charge now.
I don't know if it is my habit or what, but the font is wider and bolder than what I had before - Victor Mono.
Yes. I'm not saying the articles conclusion (that fuel costs are why electric vehicle market share is growing slowly) is accurate. Just that an argument only about the cost of electricity isn't really sufficient to dispel the premise.

Total cost of ownership is a lot more than purchase price and fuel cost. You and I agree on that.
HAH! Was shopping for something similar, albeit a 2012 and/or 2013 that a local dealer has in stock.

Same idea though: drive it until it dies and then pray that uber/lyft/whatever is mature enough that I never have to think about it again.
Wait is this for Master's degree too?

> What happens when version 2 of the hardware appears, and moves the bit to a different register?

You adapt your code for that platform. I don't know why developers today have such a love affair with unnecessary abstraction. Abstract when you need to; never before.
Sure, wars aren't supposed to be sustainable. That's why people start them.

I agree a monopoly over a small market niche sometimes happens even in antitrust contexts. That can happen with or without price wars. I also agree monopoly pricing power is bad. (Although not nearly as bad in a niche, because other well-funded competitors get an incentive to step in the more prices get out of line.) But none of this is proof of the death of an industry.
Yeah, changing the font if you had specifically configured it before would have caused some angry reactions I imagine...
Finally car manufacturers can kill the used car market just like video game companies killed the used game market.

I'm sure its not going to be long before you don't _own_ your car, you just purchased a license to use it for a period of time.
>Part of the confusion is that this particular software library, crypt32.dll has in fact been a core component of Windows going back all the way to NT.

If the vulnerability is specific to ECC, that didn't exist until around 2004.
Or go with something that can do a bunch of different solutions: https://github.com/StreisandEffect/streisand Streisand sets up a new server running your choice of WireGuard, OpenConnect, OpenSSH, OpenVPN, Shadowsocks, sslh, Stunnel, or a Tor bridge. It also generates custom instructions for all of these services. At the end of the run you are given an HTML file with instructions that can be shared with friends, family members, and fellow activists.
- Groupthink is a very real thing, and stronger than most people realize. People in a group will hold and defend beliefs that they would never individually hold, simply because they're (perceived to be) part of the group's beliefs.

- Being results-oriented can be detrimental to doing anything useful.
>Allstate you need 50 drives a month to qualify for the discount, and hard braking or speeds over 80 disqualify a drive from being counted for the discount.

The really stupid thing about this is that driving 80+ and the occasional hard braking is just normal traffic condition on some roads at some hours. Penalizing people for needing to use those roads at those times and acting like every other normal human around them when doing so defeats the point of insurance.
This could be an indication that you are not the target audience.
At least in my 2019 Subaru, that DB is already badly out of date for my area. Amusingly, it's all on the high side - 80 for a 75 zone, and 45 for a 35 zone. It's also usually late in registering the switches, by a good quarter mile in some cases.
Yes, I suspect it's different backgrounds. I was never exposed to creationism as a child.

I'm curious what led you away from creationism. Was it purely a matter of observing most people aren't creationists and deciding to go with the crowd? Or did people argue with you about it (perhaps implicitly via things you read or watched) and you came to realise the arguments didn't hold water?

Given no competing evidence against it, I'm happy to go with the apparent consensus on a topic, especially if it doesn't matter to me. Where there's disagreement combined with a question that matters though, argument-by-apparent-consensus doesn't do it for me anymore.

Partly this is because of what I saw in the Bitcoin community. That whole community lost its mind after a small minority of people hijacked the communication channels, started deleting any posts they disagreed with and loudly insisted that their (crazy, unsupported) views were actually the scientific consensus, that anyone who disagreed was either uninformed or - when they couldn't quite get away with that argument - simply in a tiny minority and should be ignored. None of that was true but because concepts like "consensus", "intellectual minority", "edge of science" etc are totally subjective they were able to effectively create in people's minds that belief despite that it was false.

I see a lot of that sort of behaviour in academia now. There are people who say, wait a minute, does that claim stack up? And in response what they get is "Shut up, you aren't qualified to have an opinion, 97% of scientists all agree so they can't be wrong". Such claims of consensus usually fall apart when examined, but you can't get the word out because those same people are doing everything they can to silence disagreement.

That's why I don't think we can really trust much academic output. The signs of groupthink are all there. Note: I distinguish between science and academia. Lots of great science is done by corporations, e.g. in the field of AI. It's the institution of academia that has the problems, not science as a concept.

To me, the people saying that race/gender are heavily tied to IQ look a lot like Creationists, and I ain't getting pulled into that trap again.

Look in what way? The people I've seen say that are all scientists or people quoting them. I don't like these conclusions either, because I'd like to believe my own intelligence or IQ is related to hard work and not DNA. As would everyone! But I can't just blow the people off who have research showing these things because of how they look. Surely that'd make me the whatever-ist?
The ligatures are optional. VS Code lets you toggle them on or off, Notepad++ doesn't support them (but there is a plugin for that).
Do Teslas not have brakes? Or do they use disc brakes?
That's interesting. Because most fonts are protected by a copyright-based license, that they don't seem to have any trouble enforcing.

FWIW, Linux has supported large PID's for a very long time. It just hasn't been default until now. I only mention because of the wording "decided to allow". It's been allowed for a very long time.
The fixed hardware that is long-lived and affordable is possible because the hardware manufacturer subsidizes it, especially at the beginning. If they were not able to rely on money from game sales, the hardware would be much more expensive.

An alternative way for companies to make money manufacturing gaming hardware is to keep the prices low until there are a lot of great games for the system, and then jack up the hardware prices later on.

So you might want a hardware standard that multiple companies could produce, which games could interface with and be portable between..

Eventually it just turns back into PC gaming.
Isn't IP implemented at the hardware level nowadays? Is it still possible to buy any consumer-grade network hardware that allows to replace IP?

It would be great if the site presented a side-by-side comparison of IP vs ouroboros (and had an acronym btw) for people to have a quick overview instead of digging through documentation.

Which is super scary. A couple years ago one of their firmware engineers had his NDA expire, and he posted some stories about his time there in some forum.

One of the stories that stuck with me is they were really sloppy with their updates. One time the pushed one that wasn't fully cooked (it might have bricked some, I can't remember), so one of the engineers literally wrote a script to SSH into each of the cars to roll back part of the update.

the article seems to take a stab at cost of ownership which is hardly why people buy a Tesla. If we are being pragmatic the lifespan of the battery itself is to be considered as well. after 8-10 years some are reporting range losses close to 100 miles.

https://undecidedmf.com/episodes/2019/10/29/how-long-does-a-...

a 10 year old camry, well maintained if anything, will stay level in range as cam lobes and valves seat, and piston rings set into the grooves of the cylinder wall.

if you really wanted to trump the fueling cost of a Tesla, you might consider just buying an older Honda. with lighter weight and lower horsepower they will likely be cheaper to "fuel" than a new Tesla 3. walking and public transportation are also cheaper than Tesla ownership. Then again owning a tesla is rarely about the cost of ownership.
