Couldn't all of the protections on current delivery be implemented in the interface on the other end of the cable, though? This is the approach taken by basically every other standard for negotiated power delivery. Even things like 802.3af which manage to deliver 48v at nearly an amp and with the complicating case of many valid devices not really tolerating any current delivered.
I'm building supply chain & logistics tech at Distribute Aid. We help grassroots aid groups meet more needs, more consistently, and work together to gain efficiency at scale.

We deliver $100 worth of aid for every $1 we spend on operations. Literally a 100x return for humanity.

The need is there. The scale is there. But it'll never get VC funding for obvious reasons.
People are moving out the city (or getting second homes) - that is exactly the trend you are seeing. The urbanization tide has reversed. For how long? Who knows...
thats actually a hardish problem to solve.

I originally had a feature like that, but I just couldn't figure out what background colours to use.

For example the asexual flag here https://ladygeekgirl.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/asexual-fla...

Its black, grey, white, and dark purple, I just don't know what kind of background colour would actually make text more legible.

I could do different background colours for each gradient, but thats probably even ugiler.

Do you have any suggestions?

> An ACA silver plan means you have a $4500 deductible. You will NEVER go to a doctor.

Silver plans are eligible for Cost Sharing Reduction (reducing deductibles to $500-1,000), and pay for doctor’s visits before deductibles kick in. And preventative care has no co-pay and no deductible.

> So you pay your $500 for rent. Add 150 for utilities. Add 200 for gas and 50 for car insurance since you're gonna be living in a rural place.

How much do you think gas costs in Iowa? The median rural/town commuter travels about 1,150 miles per month. A 2000 Honda Civic gets 27 mpg. At $2/gallon for around 40 gallons a month, that’s under half your estimate.

> Now you have $600 a month for food and literally any other expense. Say you never eat out and use staples like rice and beans as the basis for every dish, thats $250 a month (maybe you can squeeze out another $50, but one must have a slight bit of slack for say, a single gallon of ice cream per month).

You are out of touch if you think $250 per month is a “rice and beans” food budget for a single person: https://mymoneywizard.com/how-i-spend-less-than-35-a-week-on... ($67 per week for two people). A weekly trip to Aldi for my family of five clocks in at about $100, and we don’t even try to save money.

> $350 for everything else. Entertainment. A gym membership. Your medical deductible. Your sanity.

In central Illinois, you can have a sit-down meal for $10, less if ethnic food. Coffee is a buck. The Y near my house is $40/month for a very nice place with heated indoor pool, and making minimum wage you qualify for financial aid. The county one, which is also nice, is $25/month. Netflix is $13/month. A Verizon MVNO is $35/month. In Iowa City, you can get $1-2 well drinks four days a week: https://www.brothersbar.com/iowacity.

Northvolt | Stockholm, Sweden | Multiple positions | Full-time | ONSITE, VISA

Northvolt aims to become the largest manufacturer of green and smart Li-ion batteries in Europe, which is the key to the transition to carbon-neutral economic future.

From the software perspective, we are "Big Data IoT" and "factory automation". Examples of the software, data, and systems engineering challenges here:

- Developing a digital framework that would help to design and start new manufacturing lines quicker - Collect as much data as possible from batteries and send it to the cloud, given limited data transfer capacity - Leveraging data collected on the previous step to detect regressions and improve battery (cell) design (analytics, data science) - Building a secure software update system for a large fleet of batteries - And many more!

We are looking for embedded (Battery Management System) software engineers (development in C), Backend, DevOps engineers (the cornerstones of the backend/cloud stack are AWS and Go), Mobile developers (React Native), Robotics engineers, Computer Vision engineers, software product managers, and InfoSec engineers, and other roles. Please check all the available positions here: https://northvolt.com/career?d=Software+%26+IT&l=Stockholm
This is one of the most important problems to solve hands down. And not just for environmental reasons. I live alone and produce mountains of waste even though I consume very little. Every item I buy comes wrapped in unneccessary amounts of plastic. By the end of each week I have bags full of waste that shouldnt be there. I dunno how to solve for this but it´s seriously mind boggling how much waste is produced that has no reason for being there.
> 2). Draconian lease terms. This is a subset of the 1st point, but it's extremely difficult to price the market when you're required to give (move-out) notice well in advance of the actual lease date. Because the market here is so fast, you're basically jumping in blind-folded at what might be available when you go to look for a new lease. Great for landlords you can fill a spot in a moments notice, but horrible for a tenet who's trying to understand the cost of such a decision.

What do you mean here? Just that trying to avoid a month of double-rent means you lose negotiating power cause you have to pick something quickly enough to set up the move and be done in 30 days?

I would absolutely not give up my current market without having the next one lined up, but yes, this means if I'm moving purely to save money, I'm going to have some overlap. But usually I haven't had to have more than 2 weeks, thanks to non-immediate move-in dates.
Cleary | Full Stack Engineer | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE, REMOTE | https://www.gocleary.com/
Cleary is building an ‘operating system of the office’ based on the kind of internal tools that companies like Airbnb, Twitter, Dropbox, Google, Uber, etc build for their own employees. We're seeing great traction - we're working with companies like Square, Flexport and LendingHome, and just raised a large seed round from top tier investors. We're assembling an A+ team - currently just 7 people with backgrounds from Twitter, Microsoft, Cornell, Carnegie Melon, YC, etc.

You’ll get to work directly with our experienced entrepreneurial team, which includes three second-time founders with two prior exits. In this role you will wear multiple hats, reporting directly to the CTO, and will have an opportunity to take on a leadership position (if desired) as we scale.

> Or a bike, which is a thing, that people ride to and from work, even in "rural" areas. No gas and no insurance, even for an electric one (and those have come down quite a bit in price, to the point where the only cheaper cars are absolute beaters).

> Even "rural" cities/towns often have buses, too. They don't always have the most exhaustive coverage, but bikes can make up for that for the "last mile" of each way's commute (especially if the bus has a bike rack on it, which is becoming increasingly common for exactly this reason and because it's relatively cheap compared to the cost of the bus itself).

Bikes are not a viable commuting option in most of America, you cannot transport groceries or children effectively on a bike. This is the strawiest of straw men arguments.
hey! that was a (bad) design decision by me. I thought itd be cool. i was wrong. i've swapped out the design now and apologize, lesson learned!

I don’t think the buyers are aware they are buying fakes:

It seems subtly different (and more correct) to use outmigration, based on what the definitions here suggest. Emigration seems to suggest leaving the country, whereas outmigration seems to suggest leaving for a different part of the same country.
Which videogame have you been playing? This comment seems a bit off-brand.
> but very often those arguing that are also advocating for a reduction in birth control

Okay, but "people often have the wrong basket of opinions" isn't a strong counterargument to the central point being discussed.

> against the raising if the minimum wage

Raising of the minimum wage comes with price increases, which is a regressive way of guaranteeing a minimum standard of living. Expanding the EITC (or better yet a UBI) allows one to raise a child even if they are earning $10/hour.
How fake accounts constantly manipulate what you see on social media
It's easy to condemn this from afar sitting in a super-power democracy, in the ivory tower of free speech. Countries like Turkey, Syria, Egypt etc. are in the middle of geo-political chess games with propaganda coming from Russia, militant groups, militias, rebels etc.

Look at what happened with the Arab spring in Egypt... after the leaders fell, even worse parties and fundamentalist strongmen came in. It was lauded as a democratic revolution until the muslim brotherhood came in. Same shit happened in Syria -- now it's devastated.

There is so much outcry over TikTok being adopted in masse within the United States -- this isn't really that different. Facebook invests a lot of resources fighting fake news in the US -- I doubt it puts any efforts into propaganda (nor has the ability) that is spread in a place like Turkey.

The way to think about these countries behavior is -- imagine foreign governments were sending the KKK $100 of millions along with weapons across your borders. We got a taste of 1% of this with Russian interference -- but it is nothing compared to what happens in the middle east.
Why is it "complicated"? And why does that matter at all? Oh and BTW most people were from Transnistria, the factory itself is on Moldova's mainland.

End of an era. Browser gaming is a shadow of its former glory. Many of the best mobile games started as flash games here. Then Steve Jobs declared war on Flash and made in-app purchase games possible. Now casual games are the pay-to-win nonsense you see on the App Store.

If free markets are truly what is best for consumers, then casual gaming isn’t a free market.
I've been in a lot of well-run Roberts meetings, ranging from a dozen to a thousand people. People who didn't get their way always felt they'd had a fair shot at it.

I was also in a "consensus-based" meeting with a couple dozen people. It was dominated by one person who just kept insisting on getting their way, until everybody else got tired and "agreed."
Couldn't whatever EQ/delay compensation is performed by the chip just be moved to the PHY?
It's compounded because of the interdependance of companies and countires.
Yes, when prices rise, demand lowers as a continuous function.

It's not like nothing happens until it's an $800 difference and then there is "quantum leap" change.
To validate your concerns- yes, there are some companies that have traditionally been horrible snobs about their dev roles. However, even the chronic cases (I'm looking at you Google) have gotten better since the early teens. In my observation, the snobbery comes from a small but visible minority. IMO you'd definitely be able to transition after taking an SRE role. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if time as an SRE will eventually accelerate your career- senior dev roles don't just to get to do development, they have to interact with other roles like SRE and the business folks to solve larger problems.

Just keep on "doing dev" in whatever way you can and keep putting out feelers for a lateral move. You'll find something.
Heirloom consumer electronics and computers. Moore's law is failing, and the only reason we keep having to replace electronics is planned obsolescence and the fact electronics are still just designed with replacement expected by momentum.

Design laptops and cellphones to last 50 or 100 years plus. Start designing for a long term and mature computer industry.
The other end of the cable is generic USB and can often be a naked, logic-free 5V supply.
Also, they have no fucking idea what we're talking about, and "can't read their messages" just flat sounds like a bad idea to them.
knotso.com seems like a very clever name for a knot-tying instruction site or game. I'm not going to make one though. Anyone keen to?

The class of problems you can solve with a C program that doesn't touch the heap profusely is small. C programs that touch the heap profusely often do it in bad ways which are necessary so that they can be debugged to production. For instance, a commonly seen design decision in C programs is to avoid sharing objects, leading to increased memory use, increased calls to malloc and wasteful copying overhead. A Lisp program rarely calls the equivalent of strdup for instance; you don't worry about who is going to free this, and will two modules try to do it to the same object?
The other end being USB-A power adapters? There’s a vast number of those of varying quality. Some have zero logic and just output 5V/1A. No way they could be trusted for this purpose.

call this a “safety in depth” approach
Rule of thumb estimate for operating expenses for multi family is 50% (doesn’t include mortgage), and that doesn’t differ much just because rents are high. That means almost everything on your expenses column is more expensive as well.

Don’t get me wrong, real estate is a great investment, just not quite that great.
How is the sales tax regressive when there is a fixed percentage?

Like the more I spent the less I pay in sales tax? I don't think so.
I watch SF rents like a hawk. A decent 2ba/2br is $~4200 which is lower than a year ago. Also! I am seeing apartments come on the market - that haven't been on the market in 10 years: Views, custom kitchens, 1200 sqft, parking (wtf??). A handful of listings are starting to give out 1 or 2 months free (this is because they can't lower the rent due to rent control issues). But if you are looking in SF - grab something that hasn't been on the market for a decade - these are unique treasures.
Look at Class B van conversion, the Winnebago Revel is what I would have if single / no kids, I have seen people using as daily driver.
Annual physicals and flu shots are generally (possible ACA mandate?) free with no deductible. Maybe bad example choices?
Maybe this is just my ignorance speaking, but I think that using formal methods would take a lot of time; more than the projects I am working on are worth.

Also, I don't know how to do it. I mean, at school we had some examples, but those were for math-like stuff (how to verify that the algorithm calculating the square root actually calculates the square root), but I wouldn't know how to apply that to programs that are mostly reading something from database and displaying it on a web page.

Now that I googled a bit, I found a paper https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.03162 claiming that "Tools for formal verification of Java programs are in generally poor shape, and do not support recent versions of Java". That would explain why smarter people around me are also not using them.

Give me a tool that is easy to install and works reliably, and I will be happy to learn a new thing.

In my country those fakes were always sold as originals. To make this believable, they were sold as stolen.

So you'd be approached on the street by a someone who looked sketchy and offered a Rolex for USD$100. They'd open a bag and let you look into it to see the Rolex while they made a big deal about checking to see that there were no cops around.

If you declined, they'd drop the price by half. Must have been effective because they did it for years.

Ya. My grievance is not knowing the bounds.

I'd like metrics based on hours, or even work weeks (40/hrs). And then count everyone.

Count of employers, jobs (FTE and otherwise), hours worked, payroll.

Total population, working age population, number of workers.

Slice and dice into demographics, regions, quintiles, etc.

Then argue about overtime, wage theft, unpaid work (eldercare, childcare), total compensation (salary, benefits, equity), and so forth.
Couldn't it provide the low power until the device is powered enough to answer the fast charging question?
Is this an ad? Not only you mention a single engine, you also sell it as super easy.

The reality is that making good games is extremely hard, and has always been.

Unity is not the first game framework, there have been many along the years. Flash being one of them (while not even designed for that originally!).

Some of them are easier, some are more featureful, some have better graphics, some are specialized into a genre etc.

While some genres need almost no code, others are full of pages of tricky game logic. And that is without counting into account the engine code.

Further, Unity had nothing to do with Steam being flooded. The actual reason is that

1- Valve pivoted into being a distribution platform,
2- they stopped curating what goes in,
3- gaming exploded and became way more mainstream (along with streaming, e-sports and programming, all which helped a lot), and
4- people started making money selling courses, degrees and content on how to make games.
We're burning through savings, both personal and governmental.
Here's my brilliant/crazy idea: drive-thru mass. Wait, wait, don't leave yet. Hear me out.

Let's face it. Church is boring. Most of that time on Sunday is consumed with the same old filler material. The choir sings. You stand up, you sit down, you stand up, you raise your hands, you sit down, you kneel, you stand up, you sit down. You sprinkle in hymns in between prayers. There's always The Lord's Prayer, which everyone recites by rote like zombies. The pastor/priest gets up and delivers a sermon/homily that may or may not be interesting. You stand up, sit down, a basket lands in front of you and you drop a few bucks into the donation basket, stand up again, sing another hymn, then sit down.

Finally, mercifully, it's time for communion. You wait until the row in front of you has gone, then you stand up and, like a parade of penguins, waddle down the pews until you get to the aisle where line up like lemmings and shuffle forward until you reach your destination. There's a little "this is the body of Christ, this is the blood of Christ", yadda yadda, then you sit down, stand up, sing a hymn, sit down, close your eyes for the final prayer, shake everyone's hands and leave.

For Catholics, at least, the important bit is communion, that little 5 minute sliver in the middle of an hour is the most important bit.

But hey, I mean, you're a busy person. You want to beat the crowd to the post-church Olive Garden all-you-can-eat buffet or you want to watch the football game that starts at 11:30am on the west coast, and all of that sitting and standing and murmuring along with prayers is cutting into your valuable time!

So,... drive-thru mass.

You pull up in line. There's a sign at the beginning that says, "Turn your radio to 1530 AM". You turn to the channel -- or maybe you download this week's podcast episode?! -- and it's the priest with today's sermon. He's talking about how the world is a scary place, and the only way to survive is through the grace of God. Yadda yadda. It's a 5-10 minute affair, but that's okay because you're in line for communion!

You pull up to the window, and a deacon leans out and says, "The body of Christ", then hands you a cracker. You eat it as you pull forward to the next window. The deacon leans out with a thimble-cup of wine (or grape juice, it's so small, who cares) and says, "The blood of Christ." You knock it back, do the sign of the cross at the Jesus-on-a-cross hanging just past the window, pull forward, drop a few bucks in the donation chute, and then head out on your merry way.

Time elapsed: 5-10 minutes.

You saved your knees and back, and you got the sermon, the body/bread, the blood/wine, and if you're really feeling it, you listen past the sermon and catch a hymn or two, and beat the crowd for those unlimited breadsticks.

Seems like a win/win to me.
This is pretty good. I was wondering about CUDA and it looks like Nim has support for writing CUDA kernels. Is there a repository of kernel implementations I can take a look at?
It's the same in there, speaking for all of Europe that I know about. Young unemployment is crazy high and there aren't the opportunities.

For example in France it was around 50% unemployment for 18-20 population before the virus. Must be worse now with the virus.
Wow, yes, this, thank you, kudos, "please sir may I have another".... 10/10, A+, bookmarked, sharing, inspired...
im originally from moldova and this is so weird seeing somthing like this on hn homepage ... so ridiculous.

article doesnt mention the city, does it? would be interesring to know if thats transnistria, in which case its pretty much russian and moldova has mostly nothing to do with it.
This is better: "Cool, call your girlfriend while I listen to you two having phone sex. Right now. You have nothing to hide right? Let's hear it. I can turn around if that makes it easier, so you don't have to see my face. Come on then, you've got nothing to hide right? Should I call her and see if she's game since you're chicken?"
This is true, but but I've known a number of people in a similarly low-wage position who were never informed of that option until their 30s. I myself was only taught about that option at 20, two years into the workforce by a coworker.

Our education system often fails to deliver financial literacy and basic life skills to a large portion of the population, leaving them instead to overwhelmed parents trying to feed their families.
