Typically light poles are designed for pre-LED lighting, which consume 0.25kW-1kW, not 50W. And the design would usually accommodate a bit more than that.

Overnight light pole charging won't be delivering 100kW fast charging to a car, it will be for longer term parking, like overnight.

Averaging 12 hours at 1kW delivers enough charge to cover the average distance driven in the US. Non-average driving days will require using a fast charger or work place charging or charging at any number of other places.

Charging will be as ubiquitous as the rest of our car infrastructure. Personally, I'd rather we get rid of so much car infrastructure and devote it to transit and parks and bikes and walking, but I'm far outside the Overton window when it comes to that. However, being outside the Overton window also lets me see how we spare no expense when it comes to creating car infrastructure, and how charging infrastructure is a tiny tiny fraction of the massive amount of spend on the rest of car infrastructure.
Starship launch price should only be a couple millions (see the article).

<100M is _technically_ right, but very far off. Since Starship will be fully reusable, it's upfront building investment (the ~100M price-tag you are referring to), spread over the lifetime of the vehicle, plus staff/maintenance/fuel for launches.

Falcon 9 was already a +10x reduction (~~1.5B per launch -> ~70M, likely cheaper for reused boosters), and Starship will be another +10x cheaper than F9. This means Starship will be >100x cheaper than competitors (excluding small-sat rockets like the Electron)

That does not sound like a libertarian view at all.
It's amazing to think how much welfare a single person's free work can add to the world. Basically FOSS but for learning math. I used this site ~12 years ago when taking calculus courses, and more recently I put it as a recommended resource on my syllabi when teaching those same courses. Apparently many others benefitted as well. A gift for exposition + selflessness + a permanent domain name (I'm guessing, due to his job at a university) = profit for everyone.
Isn't that how most people would have understood the offer anyways? Why should Google store the photos from e.g. your new OnePlus for free just because you owned a Pixel in the past?
I did doordash Grubhub Ubereats etc for about a year while I had no income. It was a lot of hours, barely paid the bills(Single income, with child household), did madness on my vehicle. It was good because it was all I had but I wouldn't want to go back to that.
That's about right. I was working on a an AWS project a while ago while a colleague was working on a procurement project. What's when I had the realization that 1) AWS services are nothing special 2) there are usually superior SaaS options for each service 3) therefore the primary value I got out of AWS was the fact that I wasn't pulling my hair out like my colleague
The country is divided because the narrative has made it so. There was never division until politicians and their PR engines decided to divide us... to conquer us.

Government has become too large and our news media has gone under the control of said gov. For crying out loud, even China has a large presence/narrative control of Reddit and from a userbase perspective, Ghislaine Maxwell [1] has been controlling the narrative on Reddit for years [2].

Obama, it’s a joke if you think we can all simply be aligned. It doesn’t work like that. We all have different lives and issues we are facing. We all have different needs. If you want government to be more functional, scale has to be decreased. The USA is simply too big and diverse to meet the needs of all with one stone.

Finally, painting one man, Trump, the way you are is simply wrong. One man can’t destroy a nation - and if one can - then this nation was never meant to survive. Luckily, he can’t and this nation will prosper long past your book publishing.

Enjoy your pizza and dogs. The citizens of the USA will win no matter what you do to try to stop/hamper it.

Google 'subsidizes' some of their services by leveraging them to gain valuable information. Google voice was used to train their voice analysis algorithms. Recaptcha has been used to transcribe text for google books, road signs etc for street view, and now objects for waymo.

If I had to bet, photos was subsidized by the value of the training pool it generated for their object recognition neural networks. The cost of image storage has only gone up, and the I would image they have enough images to train on, so they did the math and removed the major incentive (unless you buy one of their phones).

I would also bet that they had a meeting at some point trying to figure out how to push people to sign up for google one storage. I just wish they had decided to offer legit customer support for paid users.
If you think it's the last major gasp, you're gonna find yourself awful disappointed. One does not simply kill a jobs program. There'll be SLS, and then some other 2 trillion dollar airplane, then some satellite system, and again and again forever. Nobody votes to kill these projects because of the jobs they maintain. There will always be more

I think you’re misreading our situation. We run phone and computer repair shops as our primary business. Uber is his part-time side gig.

We do pay into unemployment, as we are both salaried workers of our own business.

He did not take unemployment during Covid. Our stores were considered essential, so they stayed open.

That is pretty much the point of part-time driving. You have a full-time job or business that pays the bills and you just want some extra cash.

The extra cash from Uber enabled him to pay off his car quickly and continues to provide extra money for our family. It is not a full-time income, nor do we ever expect it to be.

This is our situation, and I understand that others are different. However, you specifically asked about him, so I replied with our details.

“This is the same sort of logic that some people have that people shouldn't be allowed to make choices in life because they "might get it wrong". People should be allowed to make their own choices in what they believe to be their best interests and they should be allowed to get things wrong.“

I am not making any argument that can be construed as this. You are misreading me if you think I am. I agree that people should be allowed to make their own choices which is why I strongly oppose government regulation of software distribution. It’s also why I support people’s right to choose platforms like iOS.

“Something has to change. We are sliding back into the 1980s where all the computer hardware was incompatible with one another.”

I’m not sure freedom and compatibility always go hand in hand, but I agree that something has to change.

As to the tinkerers and people building their own rigs - the idea that there is a large spectrum. I potentially agree.

Serving those people well is a hugely untapped potential. I used to believe that Apple would see this, but I no longer do. I suspect that Jobs would have done.

I would like to think the open source community and commercial ecosystem outside of Apple and Microsoft can seize the opportunity.

We won’t if we spend our time feeling victimized by corporations doing what corporations do.
I think that's related. I think also for a lot of web pages, they have ephemeral state that would not be captured by a bookmark, so they get left open and accumulate. One can never know sometimes which page will succeed as a bookmark or just fail.

Hi everyone, I am interested in learning more about nested nodes errors in a Graph. Can anyone point me to any reading resources(blogs/articles/videos) on how any of these popular GraphQL API handle their graph errors?

Or can anyone recommend a few well-known and battle-tested patterns?

Is there a 'readable' code sample of how that would work?
We have an open space workshop and hack shop in my town, and it’s frequented by quite a lot of people. You’ll see anything IoT, 3D printing and Linux you can imagine being hacked upon. You can also see people building race cars, or ideas that eventually turn into businesses.

Everyone has an Apple or android device, and macs are easily make up 90% of the personal workhorse laptops. Because at the end of the day, technology that just works, is nice too.

I get that it’s probably very different in crypto communities, but we don’t really have any of those around here. I wouldn’t say that real hackers aren’t using walled gardens though.
From photos you can find every person you (in person) know, everywhere you've gone, everything you do, everything you own (and don't). So long as it shows up in a picture once. If storage for 200gb costs _them_ a couple bucks, and that's the price of a few ad (conversions), it would seem to work out. I'm an outsider of course, would be interesting to understand the actual economics from someone more familiar with the details. Of course, if the story were this rosy they obviously wouldn't be charging. So I'm sure its quite a bit more nuanced than this.

Odd.

No need for someone to do that. The process and distribution method kept you from that.
I can attest to using Chase sapphire reserve getting DoorDash and American Express platinum getting Seamless (from Lyft Pink) and Uber Eats.

How on earth does saying the word "I" correlate to self obsession? It's an incredibly generic, flexible, common, context-sensitive word.
I feel like I'm living in a different world than this thread. DoorDash is practically giving away money with their service it's unreal.

DashPass is $10/mo which which turns every delivery into ~$1+tip. The idea that I can buy 30min-1hour of a real human's time and labor for $3-4 to deliver me food is silly.

My usual Indian take-out order is $16 if I spend 40 minutes for the round trip or $18 to get someone to deliver it to me.
Absolutely correct. If you are trying to sell to a Big Co, price should probably be about the 10th thing on your list to talk about.

I did that already with a ThinkPad T495. Couldn't be happier. With Arch Linux and KDE it's objectively far superior to Mac OS for development (I do mostly TypeScript and Rust).

The crazy thing is that I've been blind to the massive improvement that happened in Linux-land for the 7 years I was using Mac OS.

Of course there is still some PITA with missing productivity software (in my case for hobby photography), but so far I am determined to suffer with open source tools and maybe try to contribute a little.
Because Docker has a large financial incentive to get it working?
This is not necessarily true - deterministic EC signatures are now recommended, eg EdDSA or [1] for ECDSA. (To prevent some side-channel attacks you might want to reintroduce some randomness).

On the other hand, it’s now recommended to use PSS padding with RSA, which requires a random value for each signature.

Things like this are why I continue to use old hardware and software, and my laptop runs Coreboot.

People will try to spin that as "insecure" or worse, but how is a system with no open ports and zero unsolicited outbound network activity any more insecure than the invasively user-hostile spyware-ridden software today? It's because they are trying to "protect" users from themselves, which so conveniently means taking control away from them.

Many will argue they don't need or want that control --- but that also has consequences for those who do, as the minority slowly gets squeezed out; and when users realise how much they can't do anymore because of these restrictions, it will already be too late. That classic Franklin quote has gained a new meaning in these times.
I’m curious what you’re looking at to create that paraphrase. He says that about how to fix the problem, but I don’t see him dodging predictions.
I'll try my heavily downvoted comment from another thread again (I do regret the wording "wake up, people", it sounds too much like conspiracy nutjobs, but whatever):

Wake up, people. Free software is the last line of defense we have left before technological tools are completely taken away from us, and we all have to live our digital lives at the behest of Giant Megacorps.
Technically: one must have the private key to perform decryption. There are many schemes that attempt to protect the original key and derive a decryption key, or do various other things to prevent disclosure of the private side of a key pair.

Practically: the point is not to "secure" anything, but to make it obvious that any infringement is due to "circumventing a protection device." Circumvention is also not allowed under DMCA, because it was obvious to the authors of the law that to view content one must indeed decrypt it.

Second one is also a standard statement, but not standard to actually see. Honestly I don't know that I have ever seen that statement out in the wild. It's like something you study about in school - but rarely see.

It could mean anything, with regards to discrepancies found in the financials. The main thing is that, what was found is material - and when you are talking about numbers this big - the discrepancy must have been significant.

For anyone who doesn't find that funny, I'd say asking why should be the most interesting question of all.

Right. The recent problem (in top-level OP, and that you were presumably experiencing) was not just first run, but the behavior explained at the GP link (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23281564 , HN thread for https://lapcatsoftware.com/articles/catalina-executables.htm...) is just about first-run, so the behavior explained at the GP link is not sufficient explanation for the recent problem, it's not talking about the same thing.
Because M1 has virtualization and emulation support, unlike the A12Z (not M1) ARM processor on which the docker issue was opened. This is explained here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25073010

And Docker has the motivation and means to patch and build the M1 Arm version.

You can take it directly from the Docker people:

> Thanks. We're working closely on this with Apple. This is expected right now (and indeed there's nothing we can do about it yet) as the new chips don't have virtualisation support yet.

Notice the lack of panic or any mention of "it'll never be done", even implied.
Apple showed it on stage at WWDC, along with Debian ARM running inside a VM. It's coming, if for no other reason than developers inside Apple need it when writing infrastructure software. (Honestly, I'm surprised that Docker didn't get the same pre-release hardware Parallels did)

I'd bet people with school-age kids are significantly more disproportionately affected by the need to buy a device this year. Few schools already had devices kids could bring home, and families with children skew lower income.

By comparison, people who can work from home often already have work-provided computing devices, and for those who don't, they are higher income and likely already had a suitable device.
What if you have two Mac-Chip PC’s each screening each other’s network requests per your definition?

Is that a work around? Maybe there is a simple device that could route a mac’s own ethernet connection back to itself through USB and then you can set up a filter that exports through the ethernet.

If someone could make such an easy to attach/setup device, it might a good business opportunity.
Yes and no. At least it created a modest tinkering culture while the mainstream went with smart phones. I wonder if RISC-V will help us getting over ARM* or if RISC-V SoC vendors will try to create their own walled garden, proprietary interfaces and GPUs/codec support.

* = The issues with the Raspberry PI are both with Broadcom's closed source hardware (there are other tinkering boards with more open hardware) and of course with the license model of ARM.
I recognized this 20 years ago but my recognition was crude. What I noticed early on, in almost every place I worked, was most of what could be called office politics for software devs/engineers boiled down to maneuvering to work on API's or even some place lower on the call stack.
