I'm curious what sort of bandwidth they supply? Their suggested monthly donation of $20/mo is quite reasonable (less than what I pay!), and presumably that subsidizes those less able to pay. (Though, I presume they wouldn't mind a larger donation, if one made one.)

CSS Variables and How to Use Them
Trivial, eh? I would argue that the solution is not some imaginary set of sensors that could somehow flawlessly detect every class of psychoactive drugs that could somehow impair a person, including but not limited to: xanax, PCP, ketamine, cocaine, alcohol, GHB, LSD, mushrooms, marijuana, 2C-I, MDMA, MDA, meth, heroin, fentanyl, etc. Not to mention a myriad more prescription drugs, including sleep medication and antipsychotics which are perfectly legal to drive on, but can also be equally impairing.

... But actually to continue the work that we're already doing to implement self-driving cars. I mean, it's not just drugs, it's also tiredness, distractions, and simple mistakes. We can make cars safer by removing human drivers and replacing them with extensively tested machines. It will take a bit more time, but we'll get there.
Tesla has about 26% of the world's EV market share so their products aren't that unique. Making an EV isn't that hard - it's in fact a simpler product than an ICE vehicle.

Some of this, for the top 5 to 7, is public in the annual proxy; not just at Google but everywhere. Due to the principal agent problem the public data conforms homogeneously due to the retention of consultants to “benchmark”. However it would be fascinating to hear the OPs answer.
Ask HN: How to Live and Learn?
Constantly refrain from making posts because I believe everything has been asked already. Or will be, but somebody probably asked it better already.

Did not graduate from college, been working for 7 years as SDE/SDM. Would like to stop working and start studying as in, reading for 4-6 hours straight/day. I don’t want to be poor and passive income is low. What high pay low effort/automatable job can I take? Was thinking testing or quality assurance at a local software company. Remote job might work but would need to be preferably EU located.

Somewhat decent setup at home but no isolated room for work/study reduces flow state bursts. Should I look into renting an office? Partner manages to study on the couch or kitchen table but I find it difficult to focus so easily.

People drive drunk because they drink to socialize, and access to other humans is almost always mediated by roads. This is not going to get solved separately from car dependence.

DoT and DoH are encrypted but the endpoint can still see your DNS query and your IP address, so your info isn't private.

With ODoH, the DNS resolver doesn't get to see your IP address, so that information can't be logged or tracked.
I don’t think you even need to write, I have this shortcut[0]:

nmap <leader>d :w !diff -u % -<CR>

It writes the buffer’s content to diff’s stdin, and diff gets passed the filename (hence the current on disk content) to compare vs stdin (hence the current buffer content).

Only I wish it were run automatically by vim in aforementioned cases before whining (case a: recover, run the above, if no diff stop complaining; case b: rewind til last save, run the above, if no diff then replay and save without complaining)

so true so true

it is interesting to see all the justifications people are giving for Tesla's completely irrational valuation

Solar Roof/Solar Energy -> Solar City was going bankrupt and had to be bought by Tesla to save Musk's cousins (Rive) and his ownership stake in Solar City

Electric Cars -> Check out what is happening on Europe. People keep saying Tesla is doing very well in China, without understanding that Tesla has a very small share of China and BYD is the largest EV maker in China

Battery Storage -> So something that is a very small share of Tesla revenues will magically one day become a massive business?

It's one thing to say - It will add $50 billion to the company
Completely different thing to say it will add half a trillion

I like what you are saying here! My observations below.

1) When gradually most of your implementation is happening in a DSL / graph based system all of your best tools for debugging and optimizing are useless.

2) So often I've seen people make an 'engine' before they make anything that uses the engine and in practice the design suffers from needless complexity and is difficult to use because of practical matters not considered or forseen during the engine creation. Usually much work has been spent on tackling problems that are never encountered but add needless complexity and difficulty in debugging. Please design with debugging having an equal seat at the table!

3) Overly factored code is almost indistinguishable from assembly language. - Galloway

I moved here because it was close to the border and most of the horror stories I heard were farther into Mexico. Also this way I could still visit my father before he passed away and still easily cross to buy things in the US or get US mail etc.

I think too many HNers here have an incomplete picture of what makes something complex. There is genius in simplicity. Complexity can be best understood (for me) as simultaneous interactions of many simple things under the same roof, which we then consider to be in totality an object of reality.

Those simple things can be different in an infinite variety of ways, in which complexity can be derived. Personally, if I've jumped into a codebase that is messy and cluttered - unorganized... It's immediately noticable that the original project developers had a shallow and or narrow strategy for how they wanted to design their system.

Start with simple and useful mechanisms, which are the building blocks for whatever problem you are trying to solve. Complexity and abstraction can then be extrapolated from a simple yet brilliant foundation. I don't know how that isn't common sense.

Sugar and opioids are also legal, legality doesn't solve everything, it's also up to the consumers and the regulator to work on better ways to consume those products.

You would need to regulate doses, make sure it's not coupled with other substances to reduce ill effects on consumers, which isn't easy. It's obviously better than letting cartels thrive, of course, but legalizing drugs isn't a silver bullet, it's also a lot of work.

Going back, let’s say the top is $100M, let’s say the bottom is....(not sure how to guess this)....

Ok, so, the 7th executive made $20M based on this dated public doc (1). So let’s say the top slate is $250M. Going from $20M to $1M for everyone else is ... $900M? Anyways so $1.15B.

The real thing though it’s probably not the cash expenditure part. It’s probably the GROWTH you can get by designing it correct. You’d be okay to spend for results.

Anyways at a high level, let’s say you have 5 FTEs at $200k, plus overhead at 100%, that’s $2M on $1B or 0.5%? Meh, it’s a transaction cost.

An average of a financial portfolio over time won’t be a good measure of risk taking during that time period. Consider, for example, a portfolio of two securities A and B who have mostly offsetting risk. If you own one million units of A on Jan 1 and zero units on Dec 31, but the opposite is true for B, while the average holdings over the year appear not risky, the risk on Jan 1 or Dec 31 is extreme.

Show HN: PowerBell – KettleBells practices for a powerful life
Hi, I'm Ricci and I am going to introduce PowerBell to you.

It started with a pain, a timer that wasn't good enough, a note that no matter how you looked at it, sometimes you missed an exercise, a rest was either too long or too short. Tracking the progress was no fun either, sometimes forgetting to do it, linking the wrong practice to the wrong day and good luck keeping all the annotations in place in order to keep track of what you practiced and what should you practice.

And so it started, with a timer and a list of exercises which now is the Guided Practice and that would be good enough to keep the pace during the practice but it hit me, it can be all of the things I had issues with and I couldn't be the only one having them. Then I added a bunch of practices. But guess what? There are an incredible amount of combinations and after a while of making them you kind of forget what they were all about and so I built a place for them The Catalogue.

Pretty good so far, now I can choose a practice, do it and be good for the day but after a while I realized that I would like to see how consistent I have been practicing and see when I went off-track. Achievements solve that problem by showing you the current week progress and an archive of all practices completion; and as I would like for it to be, all data is stored on your device and not uploaded to any cloud, your data is yours only.

It's all fun and games at the beginning, practice, keep track, do it again and again and again and... , no matter how much you like doing anything you will become accustomed to it and be bored by it unless something changes, a bit of chaos makes its way in and keeps the interest alive.

Now that you know all of that, welcome to PowerBell. I practice almost daily and it saves me a lot of trouble. Keep in touch.

Besides the Smiley novels, The Perfect Spy is one of the most beautifully crafted of John le Carre's novels. Beautifully written with layers upon layers of meaning - each time you reread a Carre you see another facet.

If there was a theme across his books - he was always concerned with the nature of betrayal. "Love is whatever you can still betray". Betrayal of country, of a spouse, and even of a parent.
same. I'm patiently watching the market for viable recycling solutions which can be used at home.
I'm open to feedback! Mostly.... did it work? I build a lot of things and it's hard to find people to "practice" on. I'd prefer if you don't share how it's done yet... I'll be posting an explanation on that soon :-)
From the same article :
"“A Perfect Spy” (1986), Mr. le Carré’s most autobiographical work, tells the story of Magnus Pym, a double agent with a con man father modeled after le Carré’s own, and how the two deceive and are deceived by each other in an intricate skein of lies"
I’m sure a lot of people here will comment on his Cold War novels and their TV adaptation, but what is truly impressive to me is how he managed to switch gears mid-career and write blisteringly powerful indictments of the modern world. The little drummer girl (there’s a good BBC series of this, if you liked TTSS or NM check it out), Absolute Friends, the Constant Gardener..

Ford and GM have massive amounts of debt.

Ford is at 142B net debt. So if you add the debt to the market cap, you get about 177B.

GM is around 88B net debt. Add to market cap to get 148B.

At what point would you say women control enough money to fund enough companies for this to not be much of an issue?

Say you have $1B in VC money provided by women and their male allies. How many companies can that fund? How much press can that get? Over a few years, with new rounds being raised every year, will attitudes change?

With this press, is there a subset of female C levels and directors that want to work for a female CEO? I am pretty sure there is. Can this lead to companies that are female majority C-suite? For sure.

Sure, you might start in more traditional female markets, making products targeting women, but it would spread.

The real win will be when there is enough cooperation to pull this off. Women control a MASSIVE amount of money in the US. A few billion is peanuts. How hard can this be to put together?

> It would, like your eyeball, get the light of the stars from all directions, and would soon equilibrate to the same temperature

I see, that may be the crux of the paradox.

But if we assume that stars were born at some time then dark planets could be too. And if stars became to existence at some time it is not too crazy to think that new stars might be continually become into existence and planet too so new planets would get created continually to block the light.
How to Setup IHP with Elm
Much as I love Le Carré (and I say that as someone who has read every one of his books at least three times), I have to give one “criticism” which is that nearly all his books deal with decent but flawed upper middle class public school boys who went to Oxbridge, were more or less abandoned by their parents and have difficulty relating to the other sex.

When you read a perfect spy, you understand why :)

If Vermont decided to have socialized medicine, I don't really care. But implementing it across the entire US is not going to work out well.

I'm not a fan of socialized medicine, but let's say you want to do it. The first thing to do if you want it to be successful is start with a medium-small state, and then take over a part of the system (e.g. emergency care). Show us all how great that is, and slowly expand. Administrators would gain experience, mistakes would be fixable, hard social questions get answered, etc., and if everything goes well maybe the whole country moves over.

A big bill for the whole country from someone who thought things in Venezuela were just peachy in 2011 is not a path for success.
"Facts-first results in better business outcomes."

Let's test this, shall we?

Suppose you are in Exxon in the 1980s, working in a a facts-first culture, and you learn that there's no real scientific uncertainty that use of your company's main product - petroleum - directly contributes to global warming.

What do you do? "Stay focused on the goal" and continue to sell oil?

Experience from the cigarette manufacturing companies shows that marketing and spin can go a long way to increasing profit, so it's not really speculation that running a disinformation campaign will be effective.

And as we've seen, Exxon has profited well over the decades.

So, while perhaps while it's true that "Facts-first results in better business outcomes" ... perhaps it's also true what we need as a civilization and people are ethics-first companies?
