I had a similar question about this quote, so I did a bit of research and wrote a separate comment [1].

Most of the change in Iran seems to be as a result of US sanctions significantly cutting the amount of product exported. They were in the $60-70 a barrel range prior to these sanctions, like most of the Middle East. I actually think this piece is awful, as it leads us to believe things like "Iran doesn't have the expertise" or "Iran has harder to access supplies". In reality, Iran just needs to export oil in a world without restrictive sanctions to reach parity with the rest of the region.

OK, but the article also gives multiple examples of having to hire back the same (American) worker after they left because nobody else could do it.

So either the market doesn't work at all and cannot exhibit enough demand to cause a supply to exist (perhaps the offered pay would need to be so high that the endeavor ceases to be profitable?), in which case throwing government regulation at the market to artificially restrict supply certainly won't help anything, or companies are able but unwilling to pay high enough wages, at which point we're proposing using government regulation to punish American businesses who don't work the way we want in the hope that they concede defeat, which hardly strikes me as a pro-American position - and more practically doesn't seem like a way to make American business more competitive.
Surely, "it is not because of", every language is ok. But experienced programmers will choose the most suitable (most efficient, either in runtime performance and development speed/quality) one they think.
Don't worry, nothing I said is specific to newer bikes. Definitely, older bikes can present unique challenges but swapping tires hasn't changed. (Unless you get into tubeless... I wouldn't recommend it for road riding...)

How difficult it is to remove or replace a tire really comes down to the tire/rim combinations. Different types and sizes of tires can make a big difference.

Some combinations can definitely be trickier to mount, but with the right it can usually be down without too much physical strain. Mechanics in the bike shop do it many, many times each day after all.

Iran had a 69% decrease in oil exports (In terms of barrels exported) between 2018 and 2019, as a result of US sanctions [1]. I don't think refined vs unrefined is the biggest issue, given that a reduction in quantity would be hard to recover in terms of quality.

Not an expert, but the doomsday peak scenario seemed predicated on no fundamentally different oil sources becoming available (e.g. shale).

As it played out, fracking technology matured, and a lot of additional supply was "added" once the price crossed a threshold.
Just because things are itemized on a bill doesn't make the total any higher.

In fact, I would argue that I would much prefer an itemized bill to a black box total. It's much easier to sneak in extra charges if everything is rolled into a single total.

Perhaps what you mean is that you don't like having to keep in mind that all your prices don't include tax and tip, which is so common in the US, that everyone just instinctively knows it. To the point that if you try to include everything into the price, people will consider your prices too high.

It's very difficult to shift public habit.

> At the end of the day, there are only 3 things that matter for a rocket engine: exhaust velocity, how fast it can burn the fuel, and the mass of the engine.

While those are primary factors, and a rocket won't go up if they aren't good enough, they aren't the only ones (or else every rocket engine would be hydrolox staged combustion, like the SSMEs). Other key factors are engine cost (SSME does terrible here), fuel type (hydrolox needs way larger diameter boosters, isn't worth it for first stage), combustion stability (allows engines to throttle, key for max-Q and reducing max g as stage empties, especially on upper stage), reusability (important for some systems), controllability (how quickly it can throttle)... While their importance gradually diminishes, there is a list hundreds long of different trade-offs made in engine development.

That is, instead of eliminating the older, more invasive diagnostic procedures and making the world a better place for all of humanity, Natera instead opted to charge extra for it (regardless of how much it actually costs to them) because they know people will pay more for it, and Sequoia is celebrating this and championing it as an example to be followed.

But that's nothing new. Oil prices totally collapsed in 1998 and then rebounded several years later. Investors are aware of that possibility and plan around it.
I depends on what we're updating. ATM I suppose I generally trust a core OS feature's devs to be trustworthy. On the other hand I don't trust random app that was trustworthy to stay trustworthy. Maybe they decided to add an analytics library or maybe it's a game and the decided to add an anti-cheat kit, both of which are essentially root kits spying on me. Maybe one of the libraries they use decided it would be good to do something similar so the app devs are trustworthy but the library devs are not.

I find it strange that we trust as much as we do on our computers. Would you let 1000 people walk through your house unsupervised and unannounced? Would you expect everything to be ok after? Yet so many apps are created either directly or more likely indirectly via its dependencies by 1000s of people. Each one of those people has to be trusted. That's insane IMO. And as we get more and more connected the incentives to do evil rise.

From say 1993 to 2010 I mostly didn't care that Windows wasn't sandboxed. Now every app I download is trying to spy on everything I do either for marketing directly or for analytics which is then shared with "business partners" who then share it with others.

I wouldn't have to worry as much a random library is going to do something bad if it wasn't possible for it to do something bad

Why would China wander over to Australia? China would probably look west into the Indian ocean more than they would look east, because that's where their oil comes from. They'd also have to get past Indonesia first, and frankly Australia has had more foreign policy problems with Indonesia in the past than with China. East Timor and illegal migrants come to mind.

Australia is as safe from a war in Eurasia as the Americas are. The events of WW2 made that quite clear. Imperial Japan even at its greatest extent was only able to make bombing runs on Australia's north coast. Frankly, there's nothing really worth fighting over as far away as Australia is from the rest of the world. Australia's key foreign policy objective is to play nice with the global naval power. Not because it needs protection, but it needs to not get locked out of the global shipping and trade network.

Mexico is planning to build a new refinery, while oil is key it is also important to mention which countries have the technology to process this extra oil into products. Mexico depends on US technology to do this for their gas. Once they built the new refinery this no longer going to happen. Something important to consider for our balance sheet and American workers
Kanban.
That's true in a global context, and I think warrants a discussion. I expect, however, in this article that the discussion would be accompanied with the obvious related fact: this statistic is mostly caused by US geopolitical policy by decreasing the number of barrels which can be exported.

A US writer supports the header "Prepare for more fragile, or even failed, states and the risks that can accompany them.", with these facts. I find it quite disingenuous, I'd be happy to discuss that if we disagree.

The language makes people (Some of them even in this thread) think that there is something intrinsic to Iran as a state, rather than just US geopolitical policy causing chaos for banana republics and oil adversaries of the US. Overall, the fact isn't linked at all to oil's current collapse (Which is the article's context), as Iran is still in a horrible spot even if the price doesn't collapse.

Jeff Skilling could probably give some real fantastic advice on business and finance, particularly structured products, operating, etc. That's not to say you'd want to FOLLOW the advice, but it would likely increase your knowledge or insight into something.

Having multiple access points with different BSSIDs (sibling comment explains those) but the same SSID and credentials is how network roaaming works. As a client's signal strength goes down (and also periodically) it will scan for other APs. If one of those APs (with the same SSID and credentials) has a better signal, the client will usually switch to it to maintain good connectivity. For larger corporate networks it's fairly common to have multiple APs for one SSID to have WiFi connectivity over a larger area, but it's becoming common even in home environments with the two APs being 2.4GHz and 5GHz.
That's kind of their daily bread & butter.

I grew up in an area where oil had been found decades ago. There was mini oil rush and then ... it was discovered to be not as accessible as initially thought. Suddenly the rush was over.

It was a very fast boom and bust.

For a good 20 years I saw bumper stickers that said something like "Please God give us another chance, we won't screw it up this time." It was a very midwestern sort of self blame for a thing that wasn't anyone's fault.

Decades later... they got their shot again and the boom lasted quite a bit longer, until recently.
Out of curiosity: what is the use case for SQL window functions in application programming? Unlike most SQL, it doesn’t seem to reduce the order of the data coming back from the server, nor do anything especially faster than can be done on the client - and has the disadvantage of extra load on the database (which is harder to scale).

Is it only useful for ad hoc/analytical queries, or am I missing something?
That's true, but just looking at the code of some example application you've found online won't shed any light on what those trade-offs are.
It's not about health insurance and 401k contributions. Freelance workers have a lot of non-billable hours that they spend "working" but can't charge for (e.g. marketing yourself to clients, networking, administrative overhead).

>> When the price drops, they can no longer cover their entire budget and will need to borrow or reduce their spending.

And there is another angle to these numbers. They are the prices based on recent exports of oil. Iran isn't a silly country that requires $300 oil to break even. Their oil exports have dropped in recent years. That drop (sanctions) is a separate factor than oil price. If oil exports a halved, the break-even price doubles. But if oil prices climbed Iran would probably find a way to export more oil, decreasing its break even price to something more reasonable.
An increasing proportion of Norwegian spending is already covered by the revenues from the Oil Fund. This crisis has seen a near perfect storm of massive increase in welfare spending, massive fall in the value or the Oil Fund's assets and massive decrease in the price of oil (and hence the input for the Oil Fund). It will be very interesting to see what happens with the fund in the next 10-20 years.

EDIT:
To be clear I am glad the fund exists. It has been and is a much better way of using the natural resource bonus. However, I strongly suspect that Norway will use the entire fund cushioning the transition away from being an oil producer.
I found the word 'climate' appears once in the article. Which is more times than it appears in the comments so far.

Indeed, a 70% drop in exports would be difficult to recoup.

However, for sake of understanding: currently about 4-6% of global oil and gas is used to produce plastics. This represents about $600 Billion in total market value.

The total global crude oil market is about $1,800 Billion if oil is $50/bbl.

So it seems that you get roughly 5x higher revenue on a barrel of oil turned into plastic than sold in its unrefined state. Probably much more if oil is $20/bbl.
Ask HN: Preferred SaaS Purchasing Options

Let me flip it around the other way: because many people were not casually poisoned due to laws about drug safety, aerosolized lead and lead paint chips, food safety, seat belts etc there are more people around today to develop new things.

> Meanwhile the bureaucratic red tape around initial testing allowed the virus to spread

I see this lazy argument all the time. A test that has not been characterized and qualified produces unknown results (what percentage are false positive? False negative? Does that improve if you tweak the protocol?). If your test produces unknown results they are simply noise, and increasing the rate at which you produce noise cannot improve your judgement.
