Is this strategy still going to work if everyone is doing the same thing?

My local supermarket has a couple of electric car charging points, amongst perhaps 200+ car parking spaces. On a busy saturday most of those spaces are full.

Certainly it's possible to install a charging point at every parking space, but it requires both a large scale building project to lay all those wires (the existing charge points are right by the supermarket - where the power is already available), and also potentially an upgrade to the local power network.

If each of those cars is fast charging at 50 kW, the supermarket carpark will suddenly be consuming 10 MW. Assuming a constant cycle of people, that's equivalent to the average power usage of 20,000 houses.

Just in one supermarket car park.

Fortunately it's unlikely everyone will charge every time they pop in, but it's something that has to be considered carefully. The electric grid has to be sized for peak load - most of the time it's not near capacity. If we're going to slot electric cars into the existing grid we have to manage demand very carefully - which means only charging cars when electricity supply is high or demand is low. Everyone rapid charging whenever they feel like it (eg during the Saturday shop) will cause huge stability issues.

The most straightforward way to manage it is to try to get as many cars as possible charging overnight (or charging whenever they're idle) and then manage when they actually draw power centrally based on electricity supply. That means extensive kerb side charging points.

This is a reason things will get slightly out of line but not to this degree. You can (and I did) buy all the NOs in the Predictit electoral college market and get a guaranteed immediate return.

If you can buy n NOs for less than (n-1-0.1) on predictit you'll make money net of fees.

The bigger issue is trader limits. I could only take $50 worth of arbitrage because I can only own $850 worth of shares in each bracket. They also limit markets to 5k traders (which most markets have hit at this point) so other arbitragers can't come in and correct the prices.
> quality will deteriorate over time

Jonathan Blow's talk "Preventing the Collapse of Civilization"[1] makes a good argument that software quality has already suffered significant deterioration. We've just gotten used to software not working. Reboot the computer; refresh the webpage; spend the morning trying to work around the "improvements", regressions, and removed features in the software that forced an update.

If NK attacks SK then the US will obliterate NK. The US does not need to use artillery to obliterate Pyongyang. Pyongyang cannot be defended against US weapons. Seoul and allies cannot defend against NK weapons.
Programming in my world is about anticipating abstractions, without actually abstracting. We write code for it to be changed. We know to a certain extend how the specifications, design and code are likely to change over time. We anticipate the kind of abstractions needed to accommodate that change.

This in turn influences the choice of programming language, unit testing, naming, modularization, infrastructure...

Just as a simple counter example: I write my code so I minimize the amount of state and provide good type information. The advantage is that future (re-)composition in other abstractions of the code will continue to work.
right, but what underpins the usual rules of employment is based on what the society wants. Like democracy - it is literally a contract, written in laws. And yet it is also a social contract.
One toolset to cover your UX process needs
It's not really "suppressed", it's just slightly less convenient to view. It only takes one extra click to read.

I assume that you're aware of the HN setting that allows you to see dead posts. I assume that you're aware that clicking on the time of a downvoted post makes it completely visible.

However, once a post is flagged or dead or the user is banned, it's not possible to reply to a post. That's certainly by design and I doubt that HN mods will ever change that.

As for understanding the overall zeitgeist of HN, keep the following in mind, I stole it from somewhere but don't remember where. It's the best explanation that I've found: HN is open minded about intellectual inquiry as long as that inquiry doesn't challenge anything an average Californian already believes
Imagine I am traveling the world while working remotely. Am I going to have a different compensation based on the present location? On my tax domicile location? What if I move to Monaco? If I spend time in some super cheap country, would the company reimburse my flight ticket that might be worth 5-10x the average monthly salary?
Thanks! It works now.
Judging by that, Elon Musk is a seriously smart man. I've worked at places with that tendency, and he's described the issue well.

Used too generously, acronyms make it impossible to gauge the complexity of the thing they're describing. Say that my system compromises a CCP, a SBS, and a RCS. That could mean "an afternoon and $1000" to "we need to build an entire supply chain". How do I begin to budget that, financially or mentally, based on three letters? Cynically, is that difficulty the point?
Oh yes - if you are operating at the middle to high end it's a great system.

But if you want "Read a tiny table once an hour, carry out a simple action in the circumstances are right" then paying for a database to be taking up a core 24/7 is not going to work for you.

So I wish it scaled down as well as up.
That interesting. Reminds me of Haskell's Foldable[0] and Functor typeclasses, which abstracts over containers as well.

This hypothesis doesn’t hold up since THC is only effective when it’s heated up. You’d have to ingest a much bigger amount of raw material to achieve a high that makes you forgetful.
Isn't it more important for the community to fight against closed drivers at the level of legislation than engage in these endless reverse engineering battles?

Why don't all these Pinephone fans put more of their time and their money into funding an international effort to reverse closed blobs instead of repeated crowing over the success of their reverse engineering efforts and how willing they are to fork out good money on outdated hardware?
An architectural side effect, at least in the case of Rust, is that when a file includes many data structures, they're going to be visible to each other.

Depending on the case, this may have practical implications or not, but architecturally speaking, it's not good form.

A practical side effect is that having a lot of data structures is going to clutter the outline view in the IDE.
Why would SK and allies use the same weapons as NK instead of the far more advanced (capable) weapons SK and allies possess?

Both Seoul and Pyongyang are within range of their adversaries' weapons.
>A single, and final, shot.

There are few circumstances where this refrain, so often repeated, would be so stupidly ignored by any of USA's enemies.

Presumably, a feeble opening shot such as this would be a precursor for a counter-, counter-attack, for which USA is not prepared. Because, after all, the USA is sure it will obliterate its enemies - and thus, the 'eye for eye' response would have to be something USA is really, really not prepared for.

Such proclamations as are allowed here, lend me to the thought: I wonder what that is?
The very first versions of WoW were actually faster with Wine.

And I think they still officially-unofficially support playing WoW through Wine. Basically they check that it still works after every release and don't use any super-weird APIs Wine might have issues with.
The obvious example that springs to mind, is a Mini in a TV box.

Also, the iMac could lose that bulge in the back.

MacBook pros could become only as thick as required for the keyboard, with the logic engine in the display section.

Batteries could become much smaller. We probably have good enough runtime, now, so it would be about reducing battery size.
I think the percentage of families that earn enough for that kind of mansion is below 1%
Not many houses come without petrol/gas stations on their drives. Yes its an issue at the moment with batteries and charging but tech will catch up with rapid charging points etc.
Yes, and from how I understand it, it is also a native app in android/ios.

But I just checked on my Mobian install on the pinephone and that app looks a lot like the telegram web app. Which, by the way, is one of the best executions of webapps I've seen to date.

Edit:

I should clarify, I mean the telegram app that came preinstalled on mobian. There may be others that I'm not aware of. On ubports there were at least two IIRC

Edit 2:

And going by this GH issue [1] there is in principle no reason to not run the native QT app on the pinephone. Of course, I'm not sure how it would handle the sreen size etc. And it is only for the snaps apparently.

Edit 3: disregard edit 2, I'm stupid. Thanks to @linmob for the correction. :)

I don’t think I’ll ever understand people that buy consoles, especially for FPS games. The controls are terrible, the FPS is terrible, the display is probably terrible if they’re using a TV, and the number one reason I will never understand: paying money if you want to play multiplayer. So you’ve already paid money for the console, you paid an exorbitant price for a game that is rarely on sale, and now you have to pay _more_ money to Sony/Microsoft so that you can use the internet? What the actual fuck? I can’t understand how console players aren’t rioting about this. Imagine the outrage if Microsoft prevented you from playing an online game on PC saying “Please buy a Windows+ subscription for online features”.

I bought a PS4 to play Crash Bandicoot when I wasn’t sure it will ever come out on PC (also fuck exclusives - a whole another debate), but since I bought it on Steam the console is a glorified HBO player. I don’t even use it for Netflix because using my fire TV stick is faster.
No public transport and not enough space to have off-street parking is a pretty terrible combination.

Want to rent something as cheap as possible

I don't know about the US, but certainly in Europe a shared room in a hostel is always much cheaper than anything on AirBNB if you're really on a budget.
This completely misses the point of the GP (or is that GGP) though. It's not a debate whether NK could survive, it couldn't, but Seoul is indefensible.

Everything I've read suggests the Seoul is a casualty of any conflict. Regardless of the eventual 'winner'.
Totally, I spent some time with my parents, grandparents and uncle in a very large house (800 m2). We didn't even feel like we were living together, it was more comparable to living in the same apartment complex. We even had internal phone lines.

It was actually shocking to me because I usually lived with my parents in a small apartment and we were always aware of each other presence. It that big house, we actually had to do something to see each other, we could stay all day in our rooms as if we were alone if we wanted to.
This was exactly my problem. I tried to love DDG, I really did, but this behavior was so annoying that I turned back to Google a few months ago.

...why? How many people ever looked at Sony's pages of game releases from the 90's? If a person who relies on that content wants to preserve it they should make their own copy (or a physical copy).
In a remote setting, over communicating is key.

Some signs that the candidate is good in communicating:

1. They number each point. This helps person replying to address each point separately.

2. When hiring, a candidate is asking a lot of questions. An email with a proactive communication is a win over another candidate that fails to communicate, is silent, or inability to communicate over writing.

This should allow for the responder, manager, whoever, to respond back and also synthesize whether follow up call is required. Writing is one channel for communication and can be efficient if done right.

I also found that non-english native speakers tend to write quite well. Superfluous words are omitted and usually the "essence" of the idea is straight to the point which makes it easy to clarify any ambiguity, if any. Whereas you might expect to literally take on face value what was written by a native speaker without hesitation.
> Competitive, and not monopolistic, markets, produce the best outcomes for all consumers. If you subscribe to this belief, then an increased competition between the governments can only result in an increase in standard of living of everyone in the world.

It's one thing to allow remote workers from one country to work from anywhere in the world. It's a completely different thing to create a universal and homogenized labour market for tech work.

Universal salaries would allow established and well funded companies to hire anyone anywhere at massively unfair non-local salaries. Individuals would be better off but the job market for equivalent local jobs would suffer and, as a result, new companies in those nations would suffer too.

The difference in purchasing power of the established tech companies in rich nations would annihilate the local labour market competition. It would become next to impossible for non-rich-nation startups to hire the best talent because of the huge opportunity costs potential employees would face. Exporting the benefits of economic privilege like this at the expense of host nations is textbook economic imperialism[0].

Individual benefit isn't the only lens that this issue needs to be examined through.

Apple Drops App Store Fees to 15% for All Small Developers
Cost of living is a swindle, at least when it applies internationally and cross culturally.

If you want to live like a local in Jakarta (to use an extreme example), you can do so very cheaply, $180 a month for a room, eat rice for breakfast lunch and dinner.

If you want to live like a San Franciscan in Jakarta, it will cost as much if not more as in San Francisco. An apartment will cost several thousand dollars a month. Non-native food that gets imported, such as olive oil or cheese, will be very expensive.

So which is the definition of "cost of living" of a city? Is it how the average person lives there, or is how much it costs for the same lifestyle as where the company is based?
Apple Announces App Store Small Business Program
Is financing this sort of thing for a small circle expensive? I would (naively) think it's ~$5/month for a DigitalOcean droplet (adjust for your preferred hosting service) and maybe a bit more if you want a domain name (probably, if it's for non-technical family). But I haven't looked into it in much depth myself. Still a great goal, though, and I'd like to do the same at some point.
Interesting. This made me realize that a possible reason why some find the modules concept confusing is that it conflates the concepts of inclusion and namespacing.

Well, I'm not sure actually. It seems to require more dimensions for causal events to 'propagate' in time. I was thinking that events can't change the future instantly, because information can't travel faster than speed of light (which is the normal passing of time). So if I travel from million years from the future, it should take million years for the change to propagate to my original future.

I find that even after learning someone's name I can only remember it if I am regularly using it. For example, I'll work with someone and use their name every day for months but then after a few months of not working with them I can't remember their name.

This makes it very difficult in organizations that are setup where you directly work with a small number of people but also socialize less regularly with a larger group. For example, at church I can remember the names of people in my Bible study but not people in the larger congregation. At work I can remember the names of people on my team but struggle with the names of people on any of the teams that we interact with.

I wonder if the notion of a cover letter is waning in tech recruitment. Did you write a cover letter for those 250+ positions, and if so, I wonder who read it?

When I applied for IC roles in the past I put a fair amount of thought into writing a good cover letter. Now, as a hiring manager I am normally just passed resumes by internal or external recruiters.

The article has me thinking that it might be worth requesting to read the letter, but I believe it's optional, so I worry it might narrow the funnel too much. Also I am conscious that much, if not the majority of the talent pool in my region have English as a second language, so I'm keen not to judge formal writing skills excessively, which could exclude otherwise good informal communicators and coders.
You never work with people working in different countries? In the same company, or just some partners (suppliers, customers…).
There is no "uk (and the rest of the worlds) attitude to global warming".

There's s a small group of rogue countries like US trying to do their best to burn the planet while undermining climate agreements and not doing anything about climate change at 16+ tons of annual CO2 per capita, while some others are doing a whole lot, for example UK has pretty about halved their emissions from already a lot lower starting point, from 10.3 to 5.6 tons in the last 40 years.
When employers ask employees where they live, they may already know the answer and ask only to indirectly answer others questions.

I would think what is documented and certified when filing taxes will be important, perhaps retroactively. Jobs and new software tools may pop up to help companies better understand their geographically distributed workforce from an accounting perspective. Employees with legal challenges (past or present) have the potential to reduce productivity.
An anti-ballistic missile treaty no longer makes sense, when there were only two or three sides and all of them had enough missiles to overwhelm their adversary, there is no point in even trying to build an ICBM defense program.

There is a huge precedent of ICBM defense programs being canceled due to large costs and questionable benefits in the face of a full scale attack from Russia.

That is no longer the case, now North Korea has a handful of missiles, with no ballistic missile defense the US would be vulnerable to an attack from North Korea.

Sure, such an attack would result in a retaliation. But the duty of the government is not to avenge it's citizens but to protect them in the first place.
It's worth noting that with the prevalence of day-one patches these days, it's entirely possible that the code on the disk is a barely playable mess.

It raises big concerns for archival—we'll eventually have high quality emulators for all of these systems, but to properly archive the games requires also archiving patches, which is difficult from both a logistical and copyright standpoint.

The only way to talk about war is to be prepared to understand 'the other side' of your argument. In this case, you're setting yourself up to have to answer the question: in the 21st century, which nation state has started the most wars, committed violent hostilities, and murdered innocent citizens at massive scales, the most?

Yes, it goes against the cult of Effort, "10000 hours of deliberate practice" and all that. But I believe you're 100% right: those at the absolute right end of the distribution are often gifted. They work hard, too, but that is akin to sharpening the knife. It is not the knife.

I'm reminded of a documentary on Tiger Woods on one of the Discovery channels where the voice over is going, "How did Tiger Woods become such a genius? Was it his family's Buddhist traditions?", and it went on to list a bunch of possible factors, all the while showing a clip of Tiger Woods playing golf with absolute perfection AT THE AGE OF FOUR! I had to laugh at the mental effort being expended to avoid the horrific conclusion that he was born with it.

You're not necessarily hiring people you're working with, even if you're hiring for your local office.

Say your company has an office in Germany, well you're going to communicate with colleagues whose native language is German. Or say your company decides to select a supplier from Japan, you have to communicate with them. You can't say they shouldn't have been hired in the first place.
