Didn't know that about Tokyo, such a cool, unique city! Thank you for the perspective.
We have a lot of data in UI tables, so I wanted to write code that extracted the cell values to a ROWSxCOLUMNS matrix, that I could reuse in each test.

And... I just couldn't figure out a way!

Made their own stripe? You mean cut out the middleman? Lots of companies with large processing volume do this. Pretty normal, it saves a lot of money, any gateways or ipsp dealing in high risk take hefty fees.
> i’m curious why you don’t think it’s a reasonable value to also reduce plastics?

If they’re not actually the problem, then why reduce them? Lots of things would be bad if sufficient quantities got into the environment, but we manage them well to avoid that, so don't consider them problems.

But say they are somewhat of a problem, we have to ask how much, and how this compares to alternatives. People talk of things like glass. But they tend to just imply that glass is better. Is it? For example, I think it requires much more energy to produce (and possibly to recycle). It’s heavier, so that means more energy used to transport it. I don’t know myself what the exact tradefoffs are. Again, I’d like to see rigorous arguments/evidence.
That's a ridiculous illogical comment. I was not commenting on the raid at all.
Your claims are not supported by the article linked.
As others have mentioned, while this may seem like a good idea, the results are often bizarre, and it's not hard to see why - the metrics and algorithm are here: https://github.com/ossf/criticality_score#criticality-score.

That algorithm seems unnecessarily complicated and includes somewhat dubious metrics when, in my mind, the only thing that really "counts" when it comes to "criticality" are "how many other things use/depend on me", and there are much easier ways to determine this:

1. For languages with a common package repo, how many other packages depend on me? With NPM, for example, it's pretty easy to figure out how many other packages depend on a given package.

2. For "top level" projects, look at downloads.

My guess is just looking at either (or both) of those metrics would give you better results.
Personally I really like Lex's interview style. He is clearly a very intelligent, thoughtful and compassionate person. He asks great questions, listens to the guest, and always has an upbeat personality. What more do you want? I personally am tired of interviewers that are way over the top like most comedians, pop scientists, etc. I hope he reads this keep it up dude.
Chargebacks are a safety-net on top of payment systems. It gives peace of minds to users.

I don't think they will launch a full-fledged cryptobacked anything, but if they do, chargebacks are a nice thing to support to boost adoption.
Now that I'm thinking about it, I feel like that use case is mostly covered by YT reviews these days
It depends where. If the money flows from one stock to another :no inflation. If it trickles down (very unlikely) we get inflation.
Toyota shipped "ICE engine powered cars, supplemented by a tiny electric battery".

When they did fully electric RAV4 EV, they got the batteries from, wait for it, Tesla.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_RAV4_EV

Per Musk, when original RAV4 EV contract expired, Toyota wanted more batteries but Tesla refused because at the time they were battery limited even for their own cars and the planned Model 3.

Toyota apparently was incapable of doing the battery themselves so they terminated RAV4 EV production.
Article makes zero mention of the charging voltages.

Since this thing is meant not to charge a single bus, but rather a fleet of buses, it's almost certainly not safe for the general public to get anywhere near it.

This thing is in the same class as transmission line transformers.
You would, actually. But you need to somehow account for revenue above and beyond the amount of liquor you’ve actually served. So my hypothesis is that money laundering bars just pour stronger drinks than fully legitimate ones, or tolerate more “shrinkage” in general.

(According to a bar manager I once knew, bars inherently have higher shrinkage than other businesses anyway; in bartending, you don’t get fired for stealing the occasional bottle or giving away free drinks to your friends because every bartender will do one of those, but if you do both you will get fired. I don’t consider this guy a reliable source, but it seems plausible; stevedores were notorious for liquor theft prior to the invention of shipping containers, so why not bartenders?)
Thank you! I looked into the book and it looks very interesting and I'm going to read it!

Isn't the language almost extinct and the community almost wiped out? I remember reading a while back that there are only a few hundred speakers and as more canadians move into the area, the inuit community and language were being endangered.

Is there a systematic campaign to preserve the language and/or community? At the very least to set down the vocabulary/grammer/pronounciation/etc?
Why doesn't Million Short suit you? It is precisely that toggle to cut out the big commercial websites.
Telling you exactly what information they're gathering in exchange for asking you to opt in is an interesting definition of sneaky.
Couldn't this just be called 'monitoring'?
I would have thought Walmart was the company best positioned to handle Amazon. They already had stores and warehouses throughout the country. I would think they could have leveraged and expanded what they already had. Instead they have been very late to the game and don't seem to be trying very hard to compete.
I don't understand how gnucash is more critical than Arduino, wine or nginx. Is gnucash very widely used?
Wow, that was really cool. I didn't know about propolis, yet again I'm more amazed by honeybees.
FWIW, I didn't intend "deeply dissatisfying" as criticism against your writing, although I phrased that poorly so I can understand it coming across that way. If anything I feel for you when that unfair surprise hit you. It just sucks that it's possible, and that the odds feel against us when we're seeking a refund.
MC & Visa do business with thousands (millions?) of adult shops in the US. They have no moral compass or concerns about being involved in financial transactions with porn purveyors.

They do have a tremendous aversion to people involved in criminal activity or at high risk of doing so. Once PH started publicly flirting with that threshold they got dumped.
> it's in the range of the sort of power that a high-end electric car motor might draw

... for a very brief period of time.

Please don't use horsepower as a measure of electrical power, it's misleading. All the stuff around us that is commonly measured in horsepower is fossil-fuel-burning equipment with fossil-fuel-levels of energy density at any given cost point. They make hard things seem easy because they don't have to be rechargeable.
how would you prevent theft?

I wrote a discord bot my gf and I use to update a shared ledger file. It syncs to a git repository every 5 min if changes detected. It can report on current owed money between us or monthly recurring payments eg. Gas, electric, rent.

The latency is fairly negligible, to me at least. Plus if you're already searching in DDG it's faster to input !g than to go to Google. Also I think it's nice to give them that info where they could be done better.
Putting a few concrete examples here to help people really get this:

- Single adult earning $52k a year in NYC makes an extra $1k. -Only- considering taxes, that extra $1000 is actually an extra $603.

- Single adult earning $52k a year in Idaho makes an extra $1000, after taxes that's an extra $634.

- Single adult working in NYC making 220k a year makes an extra $1k, that becomes $523 after taxes.

- Now let's factor in benefits: Single parent of 2 children in America, earning nearly anywhere between $20k and $40k: earning an extra $1000 will earn them somewhere between $100 and -$500 after taxes and benefits. Yes, that's right, you can earn $1000 extra and end up with _less_ money in your pocket! If you're wondering how, take a look at the Atlanta Fed's page on the benefits cliff.

Why would this be desirable for cloud providers to implement?
That link doesn't even show that they got an interview. It shows that they got an email and some application advice—entirely generic advice, the same things (be concise! for god's sake be concise!) that pg would have said to anybody.

Scott and I were in the same YC batch as Airbnb. We had no connections and knew no YC founders. It's simply not true that you needed "friends with connections" to get into YC, then or now. It's not necessary, and it's not sufficient either.

I don't mean to be a stickler but it's harmful when people imply such things. It discourages founders who don't have friends-with-connections from applying. That's really bad—what if they're just the sort of founder YC wants to fund? A lot of people are, who don't think they are—and maybe they lack the self-confidence to try, or they're teetering. If they run into HN comments or whatever that cynically say "it's all about connections", they may teeter away, and that could have a huge effect on their life. Getting into YC, knowing no one and having no special connections, changed my life bigtime, and that's true of many others as well.

We met the Airbnb founders in the waiting room because our interview was right after theirs. They were super nervous, as were we, so we bonded around reassuring each other that their startup was great. I remember Brian saying that they had never heard of YC, but they knew the guys at Justin.tv, who had encouraged them to apply at the last minute, and that was why they were there. So the primary effect of the "friends with connections" was not that it got them into YC, but that it got YC into them—i.e. it got YC on their radar in the first place.
You can, but that's simply one N-times-thicker cable.
Well, GMail does read email, fulfilling jwz's law, so there's only one more law to go.

Maybe something like emacs, but AMP-based, and we'll have the worst of two worlds!
lmao you dipshits. this is an epitaph.
>This is a pretty bad article.

The main problem I have with the article is that it's factually incorrect about it being easy to spoof an ip address in a situation like this. It's easy to send off a fake ip address if [1] your ISP permits spoofed ips (which it shouldn't) and [2] you don't care about a response. But in this case the user had to actually log into the system, which is pretty tricky to do with ip spoofing. (There is some debate about it potentially just requiring an email to be sent to a mailing list, but even SMTP requires various responses).

Given the level of technical difficulty to do this, it seems extremely implausible that someone would go to all that effort just to send out this message.
Every service needs early adopters, perhaps you are not one of them? Nothing wrong with that just as there's nothing wrong with wanting to try new services, more so when not happy with what's on offer.
Despite being your nightmare, with my 13th kid due this summer, I'm going to agree with you on the farmland. Paving over San Jose was a terrible thing to do. San Jose was the best place to grow apricots. In general, all of the Silicon Valley area would make wonderful farmland. It'd be better to live on the foothills on either side of the Central Valley, or even on the Nevada side of the Sierra Mountains.
This was my exact experience as well. I was an early user if sensible and loved that it was yaml. Then had to deal with jinja inside yaml. And finally a syntax for loops appeared!

I have run into the same type of issues with salt.
You seem to think I know why people are furious. I don’t know what is in other peoples’ minds. I’m just telling you how I look at things. I‘m already rich, but even when I wasn’t I was never motivated by envy or hatred of those who had more than I did.

As far zoning and hospitality regulations: it is scarcely exaggeration to say that a municipality can come close to ruining your life, and certainly your personal fortune, through whimsical application of them. Perhaps you live in a place where these things don’t matter, or, more likely, perhaps you’ve never been in business for yourself. I live in Seattle, where they will cheerfully shut down your business for weeks because you have an electrical outlet 6 inches too close to the wall.
The difference is forcing people do do something vs giving them options and letting them decide. I don't know how many more times I need to explain myself. People have agency. Authoritarianism denies our agency and defies us to use it. That is how you treat cattle, not human beings.
The competition is Android.
I'm biased because I work at AWS, and even more biased because I now work on our IAM team, but I really like AWS SIGv4 and IAM policy. SIGv4 signing itself is request-level, and is incredibly simple with a tiny pre-authorization TCB. IAM policy is a full and expressive authorization language with a rich grammar. They're then paired with an ecosystem of features like CloudTrail and last-use-of-credential that give meaningful controls that avoid trade-offs between availability and security.

It doesn't have to be AWS, but I do think that solutions in this space really have to be operational services, and not just technologies or standards. It has to be someone's full time job to look at this stuff and make sure it's working and secure, and that's just very hard to match. If I quit my job tomorrow and was building a startup, I'd use AWS API Gateway's SIGv4 and policy support and leave it at that.
Then I'm wondering how a mobile phone could pose such a threat to an aircraft. I imagine this sort of storm would cook their instruments, or at least make them go crazy for a while, and likely induce corruption in their digital systems. As we saw with bad software in 737 max control, trouble in those systems can down craft, i think you're underestimating the risk.

snarky comment = joke
Changing the search provider wouldn't matter. The commercial nature of Google's results has almost nothing to do with Google and almost everything to do with SEO. Search results are far too valuable a piece of real estate for rankings to not be correlated with money. I guarantee you the army of marketers and full time SEO ninjas at Conde Nast will always figure out a way to get their content past your "no corporations allowed" filter.
I understand where you’re coming from. However couldn’t the even simpler explanation be that viruses frequently travel from bats to other species, this lab is in this city because there are a lot of bats with viruses there, and the thing that they are there to study ended up happening?
"Double the life" is unrealistically pessimistic.

A cul-de-sac gets far, far less than double the traffic of a normal road, and vastly less traffic in the form of heavy vehicles. Road damage is proportional to the 4th power of axle load (according to the US GAO).
Wow, thanks for providing that link. It really amazes me to see how much we don't even realize we attribute to hindsight.
You got me. Thanks for the great collection of articles, I can't stop reading!
And so is your comment.

Why does why she was fired relevant? Also your article goes literally against what you said.
We used Cypress for a while at Notion but removed it due to high memory usage and crashes. Instead we use a very boring stack of mocha + selenium-webdriver + Chrome on Linux. That’s not my favorite either, because we have to paper over all of the crufty Webdriver/Selenium abstractions that feel like they were designed for Java.

I would much prefer to use Puppeteer or Playwright now that they’re starting to stabilize - for a while they both either didn’t support Firefox, or required custom builds of browsers.
After using DDG for years, I sometimes try Google when DDG does not seem to deliver. Every time I am disgusted by the sheer amount of crap it shows me. Videos, shopping, news etc. I'll take DDGs clean result list over that any time! (And usually, Google has the same results as DDG anyway)
Thanks for breaking this down -- that makes a ton of sense. I've sene OPA's use along with k8s but haven't seen much use of it outside k8s yet. It seems like almost a special case.

My biggest problem with a lot of these generic computation (you could view OPA as generic computation but with a focus on auth) is that they bring their own DSLs -- I'd love to see something like CEL that's based on regular programming languages, and the only way I can think of doing that right now is through WASM.
Google Photos is a good example of what makes it hard to switch: I can search for text in the images, object categories, etc. and Google does a half-decent job of finding what I’m looking for (e.g. when checking into a Hotel, I’ve searched for “license plate” to get my car’s license plate number or, if I remember a bottle of wine I liked, I can search “wine bottle” to find the label).
I think you're overestimating the difficulty of moving 500A. As GP said, liquid-cooled cables are the solution and come in reasonably-sized cable thicknesses (CCS form factor). This is ITT Cannon's product as an example: https://ittcannon.com/core/medialibrary/ittcannon/website/li...

Also note that 1000V isn't an upper bound; many vehicles under design now will be ~1000V, and I expect that to push up to at least 1500V within the next few years.
You're right, but I think since gateways are so hard on non-mainstream content like porn it was made out of necessity rather than cost savings.
Interesting take about information availability on labor supply side. I feel like it's the opposite though. When I've been a part of BigCo salary band creation projects; the information we use is widely available. I've actually been a part of one that started by scraping glassdoor, salary.com, etc. Then we felt it would be good to buy the official data sets and they essentially where the same. However, it's not extremely clear how the equivalent would happen in contracting where it's usually custom bids and rates are much higher because they include non-labor components.

What I know for a fact happens, is if (for example) I were Accenture bidding on a project, I know I'm probably up against Deloitte on this project, let me buy my old coworker a beer, the one that now works at a Deloitte, magically both bids have same rate or Accenture slightly undercuts. This is labor intensive though, so what I'd really do is just bid you a price based on what I or my boss already know Deloitte is going to bid because we've already had those beers and the conversations are just common knowledge at this point. So it's not really collusion, but has similar consequences.

On the other hand, salary bands typically are referred to as "market rates" which is a misnomer. There's no way an efficient market should have that amount of deviation as you mentioned.
Guess who makes it hard to submit many templated apps in an automated fashion? You guessed it, it's Apple.
Do you need accommodations.. officially. If not, wouldn’t you be.. not disabled, for the purposes of this question?

I ask, earnestly.
I feel the same way in the sense that I'm much more cynical about tech than I used to be.

I take solace in the fact that writing code and building things (especially physical world things!) is fun. Web backend is getting duller by the minute, though.
> Google's search is still far better than the competition.

Bing now gives me results from the customer intranets kind of like an improved version of the old Google Desktop Search.

Google has, despite us telling them again and again, "improved" search to the point where it can find thousands of pages that contains something somehow similar to what I searched for, yet completely irrelevant.

I.e. not worse than the competitors, just equally bad.

Except maybe Google fails in more spectacular ways on search thanks to AI: some of the irrelevant results feel uncanny, like: I can see how they got there, but seriously: it doesn't match what I searched for and it utterly irrelevant.
PRISM is not NOAA raw data. It's a product produced by interpolating data from validated weather stations, taking into account elevation among other things. For example, doing straight interpolation between weather stations without taking into account elevation can lead to some very wrong results. In fact, PRISM stands for "Parameter-elevation Regressions on Independent Slopes Model"[0]. Also, the high-resolution PRISM data is not free, as it's a data product of OSU/NACSE. It costs real $$$.

Aside from point, weather station observations, most weather/climate data is gridded and you are right, GDAL provides lots of tools for processing and transforming gridded (raster) data products. DevelopmentSeed (no affiliation) creates some neat tools and I'd recommend following OSGEO[2] and the FOSS4G conference.

> My current project is to convert a Mazda RX-8 I

And do what with it?

I'm a Nissan guy, and only reason to ever get a Mazda was to be able to bounce a 13b/20b off redline on the track for the ~30k before it needed a rebuild, why would an EV RX8, arguable the least interesting of all the RX chassis be a good platform?

I'm not trying to discourage you as I think it seems like a cool thing to play with if you have the time/money, but what adjustability would you have not found with a 13b/20b in it?

>they've allowed them for months now.

It's very hit or miss. When I go to Ralph's by me during the day, they say no reusable bags. When I go at night they're fine with it. My Trader Joe's only allows reusable bags if you bag the groceries yourself; the employees aren't supposed to touch them
You've explained why it's hard for Google to not give me resources I can't pay for, but that's not what I care about, or what I'm asking for. What I'm asking for is a feature where I set a hard limit of $100 and that's the most I get billed - if my account accidently uses $5000 of resources before Google reconciles the usage with my budget then Google automatically waives the additional $4900 and then limits my account in some way until the problem is rectified.

Practically every time these blog posts come up they end with the provider refunding the costs. I just want that refund to be a feature.
If you look at the first article, you will see that it does in fact support the facts I presented:

[1] The state epidemiologist asked her supervisor to temporily remove the data: "“Per Dr. Blackmore, disable the ability to export the data to files from the dashboard immediately. We need to ensure that dates (date fields) in all objects match their counterpart on the PDF line list published,”"

[2] Rebekah assumed this was censorship: “This is the wrong call,”

[3] Her supervisor asked her to re-instate the data one hour later: "Then, just after 6 p.m., the I.T. director emailed both Jones and Dr. Blackmore. “Re-enable for now please.”"
