> If you suddenly make using fossil fuels 10x more expensive people will switch off of them ASAP.

Yea, this just isn't true. Rich people will just pay more for the same thing. Poor people will just have to pay more to even get to their jobs. It's pure laziness to put this on dogma rather than actually come up with decent policy to shape the market.
Discovery in a court case isn't "leaking to the press". A court of law decided that the public's interest was more important in this matter.
>Letting the mob in, and then muting or banning after the fact can be exploited too easily.

This seems like the popular wisdom online, but is it really something that's abused so much (at all, or relative to the problem it exists to solve)? I've seen many more places with people terrified of the concept of moderators abusing their powers and places that refused to ban outright harassment and bigotry because the moderators were too worried about being seen as power hungry than I've actually seen power abusing moderators issue too many bans. (If you count "refusing to kick out harassers" as a kind of power abuse through inaction though, then I've seen a lot of that. Maybe this reframing would be helpful in general online.)

I believe you can already block people on GitHub and it stops them from interacting with any of your repos, and that doesn't seem too exploitable or broken in my opinion. If anything, they need more features along these lines and what you mentioned.
This is the best thing I've read all week.
As I detailed to the other person I was replying to, you won't find that. Try to re-read what I wrote.

If you are looking for that you are looking for the wrong thing. If you are on the fence about trying to qualify for a private investment because "law" its not your problem.

But if you are issuing an investment, it definitely is your problem.

I fully agree. As I understand it, the user was a teenager who did not know better and thought they made a sincere effort to contribute. Young and/or inexperienced contributors are prone to make somewhat similar mistakes, albeit usually less extreme. What message would it send if they were punished for this?

You are going against the narrative so you are getting downvoted.
Who informs nothing. Lots of companies knew who they were marketing to but went to shit because they didn’t know why.
My guess is the control group wasn't made of people with no history of antibiotics. They just used the model to predict the risk difference between zero and one time of taking antibiotics. The control was people from the general population, and the "test" was people who had already developed IBD.

Though there are people, like me, who are allergic to many common antibiotics. Between some bad reactions in childhood and an emergency three years ago (over two decades), I never had antibiotics.
Yes, they also have the problem that they (are usually implemented in such a way that they) break the back button[1] and make it so you can't easily jump to a well-defined block of the results you know you haven't seen.

I also see them frequently have a bug where they'll just keep cycling through the same first page-equivalent of results.

[1] If you click a result and then hit back, it usually just reloads the page and starts you from the beginning. I think the function of a back button changed at some point. It used to be that "back" was always instant and took you to the exact state of the page before you clicked a link. Now, there's a huge lag on all but the most minimal sites (like HN) and some reload of something gets triggered.
You don't get to ignore states rights just because they aren't particularly popular.

Also, look into "regulatory capture". Independent bodies tend toward becoming very cosy with those they're supposed to be monitoring.
Case studies like these are always selected because they’re positive; you don’t have to wonder about the biases. Someone else might want to collect the negative cases; Discord, for instance, and their fights with the GC.
It's funny how the media are saying this kid defending himself from the violent mob is the devil for using self-defense and protecting the city, but at the same time Jacob Blake (who was charged with sexual assault and had a long history of violence) is an angel. We are living 1984. The truth is the opposite of what we are being told. All values are inverted.
Okay, but I'm asking what does it look like? What kind of vulnerability? They presumably aren't using SuperDuper Secret Wifi to mirror data wirelessly to the moon, right? There are a limited number of outcomes at some point. They can't exactly change the encryption algorithms, otherwise clients fail to connect, and modern TLS (and QUIC) are designed to reduce algorithm agility in the name of preventing downgrade attacks and insecure suites. And they can't just break AES with an alien computer, because if so, why bother with the NIC at all? And again: How do they escrow the data they want out of the network, considering the extremely variable (and potentially secured, unknown, hostile) network conditions? If they can do that with some kind of host exploit or whatever, why not just take private keys in the first place? They could just snip ground cables then and be done with it, which is exactly how they got Google. (The most realistic case I can think of is somehow compromising entropy generation, perhaps.)

And finally, why do any of this when you can almost definitely just issue a gag order to a legal council, or behind-the-door threats to a foreign government agency to tow the line, or any number of things? You're dealing with governments who have immense global influence, not scrappy hackers who only have their wits and old laptops about them.

I'm not saying agencies don't have exploits, or they don't use them, or they don't spy on a lot of data, or that even some backdoors aren't real. But if you're looking a NIC offload device, immediately claim "Wiretapping", and can't actually explain how it wiretaps anything or what the attack model is, it's really just random speculation and fear mongering.
A VC will want to completely restructure a non-compliant offering and may bail because of that.

A VC won't bail from a compliant offering because they checked people on the cap table that said they were accredited at the time, they will bail because there are a lot of people on the cap table to begin with.
Romania is an outlier when it comes to internet speed.

But I know people from rich countries like UK, US, Germany with download speeds under 5 mbps paying more than you would pay for the most expensive line on Romania.
Insert shrug here. I definitely get headaches after staring at iPad screens all day, and definitely have to squint to see them outside. Don't really care if that subjective suffering doesn't reflect some medically recognizable consequence, I still choose to avoid it.
I didn't make the pick (and I wouldn't have picked Rust then, I still judge this move as way too risky), and I merely worked as a contractor there and the project was already 5 years old.

That being said, a few notes on Rust on this project:

Cons:

- finding people proficient in Rust was a challenge (but that's why I go hired, so for me that was a plus;).

- in the first few years of the project, keeping up with language changes (before Rust 1.0 and even after because the project had been using nightly Rust until 2018) added.

Neural:

- the library ecosystem was nonexistent at the beginning, but because Rust has good C interop, the project just used C libraries for different things. Some where replaced by pure Rust ones later on, some didn't.

Pro: (Note: the project had important performance requirements (regarding CPU and memory consumption) so had Rust not been chosen, the project would have been written in C++.)

- When your Rust program compiles, it never crashes (except on an assert)

- I've spent exactly 0 minutes in a debugger on that project

- I've done massive refactoring without issues: you just fix the compiler errors (which are now extraordinarily clear!), you recompile and it works.

So overall, the Rust bet was a big success for this project! But you're right: the company wasn't a start-up and the company's ability to count on an existing team was vital here because hiring a new Rust dev would have been impossible in the first few years. With Rust becoming more and more popular each year, the hiring issue shouldn't be as acute right now (well, especially since Mozilla fired dozens of Rust-fluent developers earlier this month…)

>Converting Epub to PDF doesn't necessarily yield a good quality.... at some point I was so annoyed by the relatively nondeterministially poor quality...

Is this ever true! I use three different workflows for converting ePub to PDF, and then look through each one and pick the one that converted best for that particular book. Generally speaking, the default Calibre conversion is almost always the weakest.
That makes sense. I think the authors actually submitted the latest article, but the community jumped on this one. Their submission: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24295756

Any chance you could consolidate this one into that thread?
My point is that these need very specific conditions to actually work and you need a lot of them.

For your average country even having 100 is difficult. Think of some flat place like Poland.

More than that, Germany isn't even the biggest producer/consumer of electricity... Imagine some place like China trying to ramp this up.

This sort of comment is not really relevant to the article that was posted, which is not about Go's type system, or convincing TypeScript users to switch to Go. I'm sorry that you don't like Go's types, but I'm going to guess it's not really targeted at your needs if you are a TS user.

It's okay not to use Go for your projects. But there's no need to drop your personal opinion of a language into a post about specific case studies of how that language is used inside a company.
> infinite jpeg storage to every human, for free?

How does one get free infinite jpeg storage from Google? Way back when I had Picasa and I'm 90% sure there was a paid tier. I recall hearing something about Google offering free image storage to Google Pixel owners but that is a far cry smaller number of people than "every human" and the purchase price of a Pixel device isn't free.
Interesting article, however I'm surprised the author only went into the time it takes them to create content.

I run a bootstrapped product called [SparkLoop](https://sparkloop.app) which makes it easy for creators to add a referral program to their newsletter, and by far the biggest (and most annoying) time investment we hear newsletter creators complaining about is marketing, not content creation.

For most newsletter creators, marketing takes as much (if not more) time as content creation does!
> so you could think about your computer with the same lens as you thought about your desk, for instance

I honestly never bought that, because I've never seen it in practice. Personal observation / anecdote time:

(I'll hesitantly be generalizing from myself & people I knew as a kid/teenager to entirety of my generation of non-English-speaking countries, but I feel it's justified.)

As a kid first discovering computers, I never got the connection between various skeuomorphic terms and their meatspace counterparts. Half of the time, I wouldn't even know what the word referred to outside computers! E.g. I was a proficient Windows user before I figured out that "desktop" is the top of your desk (or, in Polish, "pulpit" is something a very old school desk would have). I didn't know until many years later that "icons" are religious pictures. Or take window - the only connection between GUI windows (one or more rectangular frames in which an application is contained) and real windows (a rectangular frame you can see some part of the outside through, and that parents regularly ask you to clean) is the "rectangular frame" part. Might as well have called it a "frame"[0].

Point being: myself, and my family and friends, and (almost) everyone I came to physically know in my country - we've learned all these terms, in Polish and English, without understanding the skeuomorphism. We grokked the concepts through interaction and explanation of what happens on a computer ("programs draw stuff in 'windows', 'windows' can be resized, closed, etc..."). The terms could've been entirely invented words (like "foobar") for all they were worth - hell, they often enough were, from the POV of someone who sees an English word without knowing English.

Rich people have money, but they aren't stupid: why would they throw their money away on nonrenewable energy when they can just switch to something cheaper?
That's a fairly old statistic to pick, not sure if it was intentional or not, but the reality is lithium battery production has grown significantly since 2016 and shows no signs of stopping. The largest manufacturer in China, CATL is estimated to grow its capacity beyond 307GWh by 2028 [2].

"In 2019, LG Chem had the most lithium battery production capacity at over 50 GWh. LG Chem [is] increasing EV battery production capacity to as much as 110GWh by the end of 2020."

The design of a modern grid with battery storage would change as well - no reason to have singular giant storage plants. A mixture of solar, wind, and hydroelectric with distributed storage doesn't need to self-sustain 30GWh of storage, it needs to be able to smooth distribution and handle peaks. It'd be far more honest to look at seasonal average loads versus peaks, plus a buffer.

Spaceships and radio waves are cool and provide a unique solution.

Let’s not pretend this was the one true way to get around Comcast et al’s stranglehold though. That problem could have been solved politically with regulation plus (in the countryside) ground based radio, or (in cities) with regulation of cable infrastructure such that it was separated from packet-routing and customer-service.

If satellite ISPs genuinely are the solution to entrenched telcos then every streak of light in the sky is a testament to the failure to find a solution. We will look back and wish we had been able to achieve a system of sensible business regulation delivered by those elected to do so.

I think what Trump's presidency has shown, if only because he is a catalyst for hate and ignorance and little else, is that the sentiments that drove the civil war never actually went away and have probably gotten worse and drifted even further apart. His presidency gave a conduit for these things to bubble up to the surface. And there's a certain political party that partially shares the more hateful sentiments but also just wants to profit from them and manipulate the very people who are a subset of people that their policies hurt.

In theory, automation should make a lot of this easier, which why something like a datacenter could be a productive place to start— it's not like a mine or some other industrial setting where turning down capacity in response to changes in the electrical grid suddenly means you have a bunch of people who showed up for their shift twiddling their thumbs instead of working.
White supremacists exist in some quantity in all parts of American society. This should not be a surprise.

Apple's 30% only applies to digital content that further enriches the core app experience. That's my understanding. For instance, Apple does not take 30% of all Amazon purchases through the Amazon iOS app either. Nor do they skim 30% from any retail app.

However, if your app happens to be a game (a "free" game, for instance) and your in-app purchases enhance that game in some way (e.g. unlocking features) then Apple gets a cut of that.

It's obvious that the US is trying to emphasize what's going on in Xinjiang for political benefit. That said, it's pretty clear it is happening. Its important to draw attention to how powerful institutions influence media narratives, but that doesn't mean that we should disregard anything these institutions push. Rather, the narratives they propagate should be given increased scrutiny. IMO, There's enough evidence from both biased and unbiased sources that there's a cultural, if not literal, genocide happening in Xinjiang.

If you want anecdata, I'm friends with a Han Chinese - who is overall pretty supportive of
the CCP, mind - who was born and raised in Xinjiang. When they return to visit their family, they have relatively few restrictions compared to foreign journalists or tourists. They've told me that mass relocations - and deaths in the camps - are clearly happening, based on what they hear from local Uyghurs and from things they just see around their hometown.
It’s not reasonable to compare “optimization” between a zero-cost abstraction language like Rust and a GC-runtime language like Go. You write different programs in each.

There are idiomatic ways to avoid the GC in Go, and people do that in tiny places, but few people build ground-up that way, because it’s not the kind of program Go asks you to write.
Yeesh, I can't imagine migrating a large backend codebase from any language to any language.

And we're talking about migrating from Java..which is extremely well supported and probably the easiest language to hire for..
Ok, I understand, thanks for clarifying. My next question would be how many exposures would you need in a real-world setting to mitigate the issue? Ex. what's the actual likelihood of a satellite crossing your target piece of sky during a randomly chosen exposure, and how long will it be in the exposure, messing with your SNR?
I think GP is saying that if companies had to cover the cost of externalities (impractical, how do you measure and price this?) a free market model could work. This is the basis for the carbon tax as I understand it.

>And deeply nested object hierarchies are a no-go, too, because of the inability to do "partial borrows" of just a single field of a struct.

I'm not totally sure if this is what you mean, but FYI you can borrow multiple fields mutably using destructuring:

struct Foo(u8, u8);

fn main() {
let mut bar = Foo(1, 2);
let Foo(ref mut x, ref mut y) = &mut bar;
*x += 1;
*y -= 1;

Gas turbines are on-demand enough. There's a bunch of stuff grids can do at shorter timescales to deal with variations in demand that don't involve actual batteries.

Notionally, it was merged into the main article about the National Grid, but all the interesting content was discarded when that happened.
