That's pretty brilliant thinking on Newsom's part: shut down all remaining nuclear and fossil fuel power plants (which has led to rolling blackouts already) and require that all cars are electric. Bold strategy. Let's see how it plays out.
Well probably because no one wants to run Kubernetes sidecar with 256MB of memory because the JVM is memory hungry.
>Actually, the only places in the US where incest (between adults) is legal are New Jersey and Rhode Island.[0] Which isn't exactly the "rural south,"

Yeah, but I was going for where it's moral/casual, not for where it is legal :-)
Not fast enough for serverless or commandline apps. Native images also consume much less memory (up to a 1/4 or even 1/5) which can save you a lot of money when using cloud services.
There's a difference in certain contexts between 'null' (i.e., a reader that is not initialized) versus DBNull (the value has been set as null by the db or something else). I still think its technically correct.

I get that it was annoying, but most of .NET before 3.5 was anyway. It's just nobody bothered to make the right syntactic sugar.
The front of my tongue no longer tastes, and barely feels anything, after dental surgery (probably local anesthetic from a root canal). I can still taste in the back of my tongue, thankfully, but my sense of taste overall has definitely diminished. I feel sorry for your cousin.

I had gotten the local anesthetic several times without issue, it was just that one time that I got unlucky. Supposedly if the sense of taste doesn't come back after two years it's not likely to, so I guess this is my life now.
Absolutely.

AWS or Azure will always trump GCP in my mind because Amazon and Microsoft have shown over the years they care about their customers on most fronts.
Startup time doesn't matter for long-running applications.

It makes sense for things like lambda or knative ("serverless"). Also command-line applications (including tools you might put in CI).

Also, while the JVM starts quickly you also need to do class loading, which can take a while for complex applications with lots of classes. This is also pretty important when running a JVM-hosted language like Clojure which has quite a few classes of its own.

I'm sorry I didn't see your comment earlier, or I would have linked to yours from mine

While I was researching some substantiation for my comment, I noticed that Wikipedia has a citation saying "Why a Right to Explanation of Automated Decision-Making Does Not Exist in the General Data Protection Regulation" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regula... ) -- any idea if the footnote is outdated, or perhaps the actual statute is more nuanced than one might think?
I don't think I have real claustrophobia (at least I don't have the slightest issue with sleeping in coffin-sized berths), but I do get a really unpleasant claustrophobic feeling when content is squished into a small area.

You can find examples where certain US states or EU states have more freedom in a certain area, but the USA has a much more absolutist view towards human rights than the EU does in general.

In the EU, rights are subservient to "the greater good" (as defined by those in power). Some examples:

Germany will arrest you for using "symbols of unconstitutional organization". This includes the Communist Hammer + Sickle[1]

France has forced many mosques closed because the government found them to be too extreme[2]

All employers in the EU have the right to ban the Hijab and any religious dress[3].

And of course, you can be arrested all over the EU for speech that is deemed hateful.

In the EU, you only have your rights within reason. Once the exercising of your rights makes other people upset, they are curtailed.

Again, the US and EU have different definitions of "human right". So depending on what you think your rights are, you make feel you have more rights in the EU than in the US. But for those things that the US decides to protect as rights, they are on average protected much stronger than in the EU.

In fairness, per his link, he's claiming it it's an average comp at a handful of big tech companies. But that's something of a bubble and mostly (normally) doesn't come with remote anywhere (even US anywhere) options.

It's a small percentage of developers and certainly people in tech more broadly.

Yes, if someone lands a job at one of the big SV companies, lives frugally, and are fine with living frugally the rest of your life, you can probably retire/semi-retire pretty early if that's your preference.
Paying the bills by being part of the problem is a personal decision
I think that is a really terrible characterization of how the author is portraying tech users. It’s written in sympathy, not condescension.
They have live streaming available now, which is more of a Twitch thing than even a Youtube thing, though YT does offer it.

This is different — user CSS requires a login and can override a skin, but is separate from skins, which are installed on the back end similar to an extension. Similarly, skins can have their own custom CSS in a similar namespace.

Also, you can use the `useskin` URL parameter to preview one of those backend-installed skins without logging in first, while user CSS requires a login.

Done! It was an issue with my gitignore not committing build related files. Fixed that. Thanks!
It just means that you don't need an external micro controller. It's more about having a fully integrated solution than some ARM vs x86 thing. Nobody is using x86 based micro controllers anyway.
One complication might be that "bullshit" and various other rhetorical techniques are often used to dismiss truths that one has no interest in pondering, and this may not always be a conscious and intentional action.

Of course there are obvious problems with this as well ("it takes 10x as much energy to refute bullshit than it does to spew it, etc"), but I think there is value in acknowledging the possibility that all humans aren't nearly as good at discerning truth as they perceive. Most people seem to get agitated rather quickly even at a topic-agnostic abstract discussion about our ability to discern truth.
I can't speak for every owner and I'm sure some don't, but I certainly carry my key card in my wallet 100% of the time. It just makes sense; what if your phone dies? You are already required to have your driver's license while driving, so it's not like you can avoid carrying cards around, and carrying one more card is not as much of a burden as a giant key fob.
This is reasoning that I've heard from MBAs themselves (I don't have an MBA myself, so would welcome any thoughts from actual MBA holders). The value of an MBA is in signaling, networking and knowledge, roughly in that order.

In late career, assuming you're doing well-enough that you'd want to pursue an MBA, you'd already have amassed quite a bit of business knowledge from the school of hard knocks, that likely exceeds the theory b-schools can teach (although they can definitely still fill in knowledge gaps say in finance or strategy etc.). The marginal value of the theory is even less if you majored in business in college -- the difference between a BBA and an MBA in terms of coursework is generally not substantial.

In late career, your experience and success (in different roles) is a generally stronger signal than credentials.

In late career, you'd have developed a fairly good network unless you're looking to pivot to a totally different field or industry.
I think it'd be an "indirect" GG because it's electricity intensive to obtain it, and that likely comes from a carbon emitting source. The same argument is often made about electric vehicles.

This is true for now. The IARPA SuperCables program exists to tackle this specific problem. Probably the solution will require converting microwave pulses into optical frequencies to get the signals out of the cold spaces with fiber-optic infrastructure.

If you read the broad agency announcement, they even have explicit energy dissipation targets (per bit). I think it’s something like attoJoules or femtoJoules?

My OS class that I'm currently taking sues Xv6 as a base for learning about OS implementation. The documentation is great and it clocks in under 10K lines if I'm remembering correctly. I'm really enjoyed working with it in class so far.
I personally carry my key card at all times. It's the size of a credit card in my wallet so it's no bother. Regardless of how good their network services could be, I would never want to depend only on my cell phone to drive. You know, the thing I own that's most likely of all things to run out of battery, break, get stolen, be out of service range. All things that would strand me.

No, it's the partial pressure of CO2.
If that were generally true then tropical zones would be overridden with bark eating beetles. Vastly more biodiversity occurs in tropical zones than in Arctic and Temperate zones.
Does it have to? Can we not have content made by whoever feels like it, like many of the articles popular on HN are not for profit, none of the (often insightful) comments are, the plethora of games and tools people create and share for free, etc.?

For professional videos, until there is a law that specifies that a monopoly (currently Google YouTube does seem like the only place where money making is possible) has to follow certain rules, they can throw you out for virtually any reason and it's not a secure way of making a living. So maybe it should be, but it currently isn't, and we can't currently force them to be.

Other platforms may not significantly help one to pay bills, I'm just wondering if that might not be okay given the sheer number of people who seem to have fun doing this. If not, we should make new laws.
Or European Digital Rights Initiative if you are in Europe https://edri.org/
Terms of use are not legally binding in case they contain something that contradicts the existing law, just like any other contracts.

For example, imagine an employer wrote an employment contract signed by all employees that said something obviously against the law, like "if you get pregnant, we are letting you go". Even though employees signed this contract, that specific clause was against the law, so there is no way to legally enforce it. If the employer tries to legally enforce it, they will be in for a rude awakening.

Another, more realistic, example. Let's say you are about to get married and decide to get a pre-nup. Both you and your partner sign it. Let's say both signed a clause that says "any future earnings made during this marriage will get split 90/10 in case of the divorce, not as a 50/50 split". If divorce actually happens, this clause will be entirely useless, despite both parties willingly signing it. Both of the people who signed it will be able to claim total 50/50 on the split, even if they initially agreed to a different split.

tl;dr: the law overrides anything one can put into their terms of use or any other contract.
1) Regard apartments, the government should make funds available to add charging to existing apartment buildings. It could also do stuff like add chargers to light posts, as I believe some European countries do. Also, we can normalize running extension cords out to your car as a temporary measure :). People do this with their $100k PIH Volvos in my neighborhood.

2) This is why I like the "carbon dividend" approach some have proposed. Tax people, but let some of the money flow back to the poorer members of society so that they can still live. I also think as a society we really need to question why we accept that there are just tons of poor people. Why not raise the floor a bit? Climate change (and pollution as well!) disproportionately affect the poor as well, so delaying action to fight it will hurt them in the long run.
Why is it harder to secure the cloud endpoint than the car? Is it immune to remote attacks because it lives in a data center? A CPU is a CPU. Code is code.

Having every car aggregated at one cloud system means if you got into that you could simultaneously attack every single Tesla in the world.

There is no good reason for this. It's just a mixture of "how things are done nowadays" and superstition.
This essay is filled with unsubstantiated suppositions.
While they're making UX changes, I'd love if they added a redirect from the mobile version to the desktop version when you click a mobile link on desktop. It's a minor annoyance, but one that seems to happen more and more.
Whether it's for the essence or the achievement of a particular degree, getting a better job earlier in life has substantial effects on lifetime earnings. Whatever the credential gets you, for whatever reason, it's advantageous to have more time to take advantage of it.

The parent could have used MD (there are some people who switch careers to become doctors in their 30s) and it would be the same... just having a chance to have been a doctor for longer will put you ahead.
Show HN: Open-Source Memex – Alternative Approach to Roam/Obsidian
This blog is a summary of a fun 1 month adventure I had with Knowledge Management Systems and building a POC that I thought had potential. It was inspired by so many of the products I see on Hacker News.

I’ve open sourced all the code + written down some notes on my insights/ architecture. Just a warning, the code leaves much to be desired as this was a mini project over 2-3 weekends.

At the moment, I have 3 key layers of the application.

The first is Chrome Extension which allows data collection. It tracks all sorts of data such as attention, time on page, scroll/ click and hover behaviour. It then sends this data to the Electron app.

The Electron app receives this data through an API and saves it down locally using PouchDB (data structure is compatible with Apache CouchBD and thus allows easy cloud storage).

Within the Electron app, I use an Express/ NodeJS web server to expose endpoints for functionality with the front end/ receiving data from Chrome Extension.

For the front end I use ReactJS.

If you’re interested, please read the full article! There are lots of videos of the application in action.

The advances in reactor design, especially from a safety standpoint, are pretty amazing IMHO. Shut it down and and start building these newer reactors like crazy is what I say.
I mean that sucks, but even without looking into the TOS this seems like the obvious result of any rule that involves multiple "strikes."
> Somehow considering or even listening to a different idea has become viewed
as weakness and something to be avoided.

Important distinction: This is not about weakness and avoiding harm to the
self. It's about caring for and preventing harm to the society we live in.

Relevantly, framing things with a language of personal weakness (both "this thing I want you to stop doing is weakness" and also "this thing I want you to start doing is not
weakness") is a common indoctrination tactic for manipulating people. IMO, you should worry about its relation to how you said what you
just said and where the idea came from.

When those "different ideas" are flat out lies, malice, greed, and anti-science peddling, then
it is something to be _prevented_ not avoided. Because we've learned from
centuries of directly observing how regular people respond to them even when
those people are strong and capable. Ignoring everything we know
from historians about human behavior causes real problems over and over again,
so it's probably best not to.

> I personally do not consider all 'sides' of an issue to be equal, and am
capable of considering an argument without normalizing it.

Even if this is true, history has shown repeatedly that it's not a sound model for preserving civic wellness.

> I think it is critically important to understand why some 'antisocial' idea
is resonating, especially if it is harmful.

We already understand why. Indoctrination works. That case was solved a very
very long time ago and there is literally no mystery left. Giving malicious
indoctrinators a credible and far reaching platform where the respected host jovially
nods along always proves to further their agenda no matter how much we wish
it weren't the case. On the other side, we have evidence and research on deplatforming now, and we see that it works.

> Remember that both the women's rights and civil right's movements were
initially considered antisocial and selfish.

You should be aware that this subtly invokes any number of informal fallacies:
equivocation, relativist fallacy, false equivalence, questionable cause, texas
sharpshooter, probably others (that is the problem with the informal ones).

A person who says that women and black people should not have equal rights is
the opposite of a pro-social narrator. Trying to represent it as otherwise is
bad news.
Note that in your prior comment you said: "There is nothing in the article that mentions anything related to politics.
Fungi seems to be easier to grow, has other uses as biomass and quite likely much easier to genetically engineer than insects.

Also more energy efficient since it’s only one tier, and quite likely less likely to get out of control and are more stable due to how they reproduce.
The experiment is fascinating--transferring DNA vs. transferring mitochondia fluid, and measuring the outcomes in normal cells. I hope we are able to gain more leverage over cancer in the future.

I'm not sure the comment is really fair but, in general, unless a company is paying for an Exec MBA program for a mid-level exec being groomed for higher level, a mid/late career MBA doesn't make a lot of sense in opportunity cost, etc.

Even if you take out the signaling/credentialing value generally, absent someone trying to make a real career shift (which becomes more difficult as you get older), it's not clear what an MBA--rather than maybe a couple of focused classes--buy you after some point. (But, for that matter, a PhD or other new degree probably buys you less too at some point.)
So how does this differ from open census, openmetrics, opentracing? It would be great if one open-something combined metrics and other observability tools in one spec/toolset like application insights does. Otherwise, developers waste a lot of time evaluating various open-whatevers, and having to use more than one.
Why do you believe management of the commons would fail under direct democracies? That seems like an arbitrary claim but maybe I don't understand the reasoning. I feel like any flaw that is claimed about direct democracy can be claimed about high-turnout representative democracy as well (and therefore broadly about democracy in general). After all, we elect representatives effectively on popularity contexts, echo chambers squeezing out marginal leads, and poor/manipulable information flows.

A related question: wouldn't a representative democracy always perform more poorly than a (benevolent) technocracy?
As soon as they have the 4k Relaxation Channel (on youtube) content I am there. One monitor is always dedicated to it and I currently pay Google so that I don't get work inappropriate ads playing. It would save me money.
I continue to be surprised that this still works, and wonder how long that'll last. It's pretty clear by this point that they're willing to try every dark UI pattern that they can think of to boost some silly engagement metrics. Community and long-term growth be damned.

This is true, but won't help very much either. According to Google Support [1], they don't decide what is or is not fair use, leaving it up to the courts. This means the default position is that nothing is fair use unless the content creator is willing to go through the expensive process of proving it.

Funny enough, they cite a case where a content creator (h3h3 productions) was able to prove fair use in court as an example of the system working. If you look into that case though you'll see that the claimant was only an individual musician and not a big studio, and even then the legal fees were hundreds of thousands of dollars.
