That is great to know. Thanks! Currently, my main use case for my generator is running a 240V well pump that knocks 5000W honda generators over. (PG&E has taken > 2 years to run a wire ten feed and install a meter, for ... reasons)

Future me will likely have use for a “mere” 2.2KW generator though, and I’m really sick of lugging a > 200lb generator around.
I presume this is for a family of 2-4; in that case it's arguably not much at all.

My mentality of what an airplane annual should look like is profoundly different then what he considers 'normal maintenance' on what he uses for work. Every single part of one of those machines has a ridiculously short time to live.

I've heard rumors that parts past their time to live would ship to less rigorous countries. Likely a bunch of EOL parts in the mix too.
A lot of business accounts sign up to activate Rich Pins which adds a few additional features when people pin from you site.

When you are signed up for this they will scrape the page the pinned image comes from to collect some extra info on the page to show along with the pin.

I’m not sure how if they do this if you are not signed up for Rich Pins though.

> I guess my argument is about letting the perfect be the enemy of the good

I see this as more when you're creating something. Like if you're writing software if it is good enough then don't continue if you have other pressing matters. Essentially this saying is about Pareto.

But when you already have things invented and you're just selecting things, this saying doesn't apply. We have 3 options: option 1 sucks, option 2 is meh, option 3 is pretty good. Which do you choose? It is pretty obvious that you should choose option 3. There's no other conditions on this problem. You don't have to spend more resources to get option 3. Option 3 is just objectively better, so why not pick it?

And if you think I'm exaggerating, I'll note that IRV is a 6% VSE improvement on plurality. STAR and RP are both 15% improvements on plurality. This is part of why people are frustrated. There's options that are objectively better, so why pick the worse one? And it isn't like they are differing in "betterness" by small amounts, we're talking about a pretty big amount!

You're calling 6% "vastly better" so doesn't that make 15% "astronomically better?"

Actually it reveals a twist in those in favour of surveillance . What they do they falsely accuse you of 'hiding' while you simply naturally expected not to be invaded.

They invade you and then they they kind of ask you what is the problem? you have something to hide? And some people say : Oh, we have nothing to hide. But the problem is the fact of invasion, not wether they have to hide something or not.

It's like someone invades your territory or takes your stuff and you say, oh, i don't really need those.
It's not the problem wether you need those or not. The problem is that you can't decide about it anymore, you right to decide was taken away.

You need a few things to go wrong in order to kill a lineman.

The load of the neighborhood looks a lot like a short to your generator. The lineman should be grounding the line because the power company and other linemen kill linemen by energizing things much more often than homeowners kill linemen and he wants to avoid that. Even just momentarily grounding the line shorts your generator. Most linemen are going to assume the line is hot (it often is) and work accordingly so either your genset breaker will flip when your generator tries to power the rest of the grid or you'll break something when the grid forces your generator to instantly synchronize with it.

There was a big thread on a popular VS owned forum that shall remain nameless and they were able to find two instances in North America of linemen being killed by back feeds and one of the stories didn't conclusively say the death was caused by a generator back-feeding the grid.

Yeah you should use a proper transfer switch but it's not nearly as risky as internet commenters make it out to be. The real reason to use a transfer switch is so that the system is stupid proof enough that you can make a different member of your household go plug in the generator when the power goes out in the middle of a hurricane.
People wanting to live in specific parts of California is only a problem if those places are experiencing a shortage of housing. SF is experiencing a shortage because of zoning regulations like height limitations and similar is the case in SD, there is not a physical lack of land that is precipitating the problem.

CoL is also more than rent, food could be cheaper if neighborhoods would quit advantaging local co-ops and eating out could be cheaper if the large cities like SD didn't outright ban cheap food options like meal carts. And that's all before addressing more ethereal aspects like the gas tax that disproportionately hits the state's middle and lower classes the hardest. California is expensive because Californians care more about principals than people.

> spending two decades maintaining marketing renting servicing paying taxes on and chasing rents on the property in the meantime, keeping up with and complying with city and state regulation

Literally none of that matters in deciding who profits from land and who doesn't, and that's my entire point. The landowners in SF who didn't put this work in were still able to capture the rising value, and those in Detroit who did put all these effort in, didn't get anything to show for it.

Land doesn't rise in value because the landowner put in effort to raise the land value. The community and the government increased the value through building a city people wanted to move to (through building public transit, art scenes etc.). Why should the landowner capture that wealth?

Also, your tax point is moot, because California caps property taxes at essentially the level you bought the property at, so all the gains are free.

> the city you chose turns into a boomtown it’s good luck you have not earned

Yes, this is exactly my point.

Let me give you concrete scenario of where the current system breaks down. Let's say I own an apartment building on the edge of town, and the city decides to build a new transit line to the community. Rents in my apartment building will go up; let's say by $100. Renters are willing to pay an extra $100 because they value living near a transit line more than the being far from one. But why should that extra $100 go to my pockets, while the government has trouble even paying for transit system? It's not like I was the one who built transit system, it was funded by the income taxes of the people who work there, and then built by the government.

I guess my question to you is, why are we so attached to this system? As I pointed out, almost all economists agree that land rents "not at all proportioned to what the landlord may have laid out upon the improvement of the land". So why do we want to push forward a system where the reward is completely uncorrelated by the value you provide? Isn't that antithetical to capitalism?

Edit: To address your points about engineers, I'm not claiming that engineers do "real work" or "if you get rich in a liquidity event you earned it". I'm simply stating the reality of the fact that engineers actually produce something (code), while landlords don't (what could they even produce, more land???). If my landlord didn't buy the land I live 20 years ago, it would still be there, no worse for wear.

It's not in your interest. It's in your interest to pay your employees as little as possible regardless of the value they produce. Your determination of the value of their labor being worth $13.00/hr is based not on any objective calculus, but the subjective nature of the labor market. You would of course pay less for the same work if you could, as your objection to the existence of minimum wage laws demonstrates.

It is in the interest of society, however, that your employees are able to feed and clothe themselves, find shelter and medical care, and participate in capital transactions with the ability to pay their debts.

Society forces you to afford your employees a modicum of dignity and value above that of livestock, furniture or raw materials, despite the fact that, in the cold calculus of supply and demand, cost and profit, they are precisely the same - purchased assets from which business value is to be extracted.

The inconvenience of having to consider the human condition in your valuation of human employees is the cost you pay for civilization and the benefits it provides (among which is a labor force to exploit) and the cost civil society pays to suffer sociopaths who would only consider ethics in their capitalism at the point of a gun.
I agree with you, but I don't think it will be entirely about personal finances. Inner city living is a lifestyle that has high-highs (easy work commute if you work in the city, more vibrant social life, nearby public transit) and low-lows (higher crime/violence, unhealthy air quality, terrible public schools). As the highs start to matter less (social life not as active, remote working more acceptable, etc), and the lows start to matter more (they have kids, etc), I think the natural progression is that they move out of the city.

> In the P51 Mustang, WEP increased the horsepower by 61%.

In his youth, my late dad flew P51 Mustangs in the Korean War. He told the story of how he and another guy were flying a photo reconnaissance mission (I think it was) when the other guy was shot down by ground fire, crashing not far in front of Chinese lines. My dad then shot it out with the Chinese ground troops, hoping to keep them away from his downed colleague until help arrived. Back at the base, my dad's best friend mistakenly heard that it was my dad who'd been shot down; as my dad described it, his friend climbed into another P51 and flew all the way across Korea at "full military power" (the term he used) to get in the fight.

My dad's shot-down colleague was killed in the crash, it turned out. I vividly remember my dad telling the story late in his life and getting pretty emotional: He was certain that, in trying to protect his colleague, he had killed scores of young men who had little choice about being there, who probably were just farm boys like him and had parents and maybe wives and children at home. I don't think he ever got over that.
Yes, that's why I said "You can argue that the pay is too high". But it's still "labour", in the socioeconomic sense.
So they're not fake, but uncertified. They still likely fly.
Are you sure about that? Many of these boards are sold by Chinese vendors, and usually shipping from China/HK is very cheap because their govt subsidizes shipping. You also have the fast courier option which of course will cost a lot more, but that's just one of the options. When contacting them just be sure they use a tracked method, and much better if they support PayPal which employs an effective user protection against missed or damaged deliveries, faulty products, fakes etc. That's what for example pushed me away from buying more Orange PI boards years ago since although the products are really good their manufacturer and vendor gave no other option than their Aliexpress shop that didn't support PayPal.

> This is backwards - in order to see how people treat people based on their profession, you can't make friends with them... because then they aren't judging you on your profession any more, are they?
> I think you're possibly lost track of where this started - I said A was lower than the B

I think you're unintentionally making my point for me. You may be missing the limitations of your singular example, and the archetype to which it belongs.

The reason you think that your vocation has anything to do with it is because you lack charisma to such a degree that the miniscule surface level that vocation affects how you are perceived has a significant effect on how how you perceive others to perceive you. You don't seem to understand that there are people out there who are extremely well off and very charming and who can make friends with anyone within half an hour such that whatever their profession is simply does not matter. Vocation is optional for them. The world is a playground for their charisma. Would they play alone? Of course not. The world is a playground for many with charisma, resources or not.

For you, the much more likely scenario is that your example is a common scenario for those that lack charisma, often those whose identity can be reduced to their vocation. But this is obviously not universal. For you to say A is lower than B when for all intents and purposes both your A(x) and B(x) are lower than either my A(y) and B(y) doesn't mean that A < B or A > B -- it could easily mean that x << y and that A(z) = z and B(z) = z. And if that were the case, you would never know unless you broadened your sample, and quite frankly, your viewpoint for how things work for others.

Is charisma highly variable within members of a vocation and within the general population? I would say yes, and trivially so.
It's not if it leaks, but when. And despite what you think about who's in charge now (whether it's your "team" or not) it won't always be that way.
Gayle's usage, "coding interview," specifies which part of the interview loop her book focuses on. Of course there are many other attributes and skills assessed in an interview loop: design, architecture, debugging, technical communication, experience, domain knowledge, leadership, etc.

The usage of "coding" with respect to the job often comes off as a polemic against those other facets. Sometimes this is what you want! Maybe you're breaking free of all that architecture astronomy and faux-agile BS to just build stuff. Maybe you're differentiating yourself from your senior colleagues who seem to write only documents. Maybe you want to hire someone to shut up and type, not pester you about tech debt. But these are all fighting words.

It gets old when people pick up this usage and repeat it without even meaning it.

> The WSJ is one of the few quite reputable news rooms out there.

The WSJ is owned by Rupert Murdoch. The credibility of their newsroom begins being compromised by his owning it. He will destroy its credibility utterly by selling it for politicial influence in news reporting. Just as he has everywhere he has bought media. The particular example of compromised credibility that comes to mind is the Times of London which is now Murdoch propaganda (all be it vastly more polite than fox news) where it used to do credible news reporting. Times reporting now can still be excellent but has a "be cautious" flag on it that it used not to have in the days prior to Mudoch. The man has become vastly worse in the past couple of decades as has everything he touches.
Both inefficient from an "amount of tax you pay" perspective and a "the amount of good each dollar of your taxes paid does" perspective.

> It's not so apparent in the online version, if you haven't read it before.

I think this is the core issue that leads to sentiment like OPs. Real news still exists, but it's the highly editorialized and opinionated articles that are shared more widely. News agencies universally are terrible at obviously differentiating the two to users.

99% of people when they open an article scroll directly to the content. But any discerning features (in this case, a small font A-hed link) are tucked way at the top. In this case, the A-hed link takes you to the A-hed home page but still does not offer any context to what A-hed is.

> So you don't have to worry that it's some broad decline in journalistic standards (at least based on this).

As long as the WSJ does such a bad job at separating "WSJ the proper news room" and "A-hed the not proper news room", their brand will suffer. OP is proof of that, and I think it's safe to assume the average HN reader is more astute than the average citizen. A tiny link to nowhere useful is not enough of a UI change for us to blame the user. The onus is on the news agencies to do a better job giving context for articles.

The main reasons I see for nim in scientific computing over python are:

(a) you need performance for applications outside of numpy / pandas & you want to avoid writing a C extension to do so (nim is also actually a good choice for python extensions via nimpy - if you are still using python as the main language of your project/system)

(a2) you want good concurrency (some would say python's async/await is good - but it feels too little too late to me) & you at least want the option of parallelism (like this article takes advantage of)

(b) you want / need the powerful macro system for dsls / custom (compile-type-checkable) language extensions.

There is a good future for nim in scientific computing (frankly, there is a good present) - but for it to be better, people need to be willing to forgo some of the ecosystem (when possible) and to help build that future.
