Exactly! 75k is peanuts today, especially if you're single. Most people from my generation aren't even making that...what hope is there for them, let alone for Z.
This has been posted to HN a handful of times, mostly either ignored or criticized.

I’m posting it again in the hopes of fostering a discussion around the idea. Could something like this actually work?

What would it look like? Is the idea of defining harm so difficult and transient that it would always be a failure?
UK firms told 'set up in EU to avoid trade disruption'
Here's their website [0], but they don't have an English version.

Basically, they have a handful of workshops around the country where people can drop off computers and other related hardware, but they also work with companies who donate write-off hardware (there's a tax incentive). Anything they can piece together into working systems gets sent out to people who request it (these days a lot also went to schools who distributed it further) and anything that's unfixable or too old gets sold to a recycling company and partially funds the operation.

They usually ship the computers with their own Linux distro [1] and they also provide free tech support to people that receive their computers. I think they've given away over 4000 computers since 2011 (keep in mind the population of Slovenia is 2M, so that's pretty significant) and provided at least half of the estimated required computers for schoolchildren when the first lockdown went into effect.

P.S.: if anyone is interested in starting something similar in their own country, the software they use to manage everything is open-source [2] and they've said in the past that they'd love to help people set up similar projects in other countries, so do get in touch

This is really cool. Something like this should exist.

It seems like you could do it more easily, include all recent additions, and have faster search responses:

1. Mirror the current gutenberg archive (e.g. rsync -av --del aleph.gutenberg.org::gutenberg gutenberg)

2. Install recoll-webui from https://www.lesbonscomptes.com/recoll/pages/recoll-webui-ins... or using docker-recoll-webui: https://github.com/sunde41/recoll

3. Run the recoll indexer

4. Each week, repeat steps #1 and #3
I wish I had the source, but around 2004 I learned that the leveling-off point for happiness vs income sat at around 200k-250k per year.

I can imagine that the ability to buy stability drives these happiness curves.
This is how it should be.
So one current generation Starlink satellite is estimated to weight about 260. One one unit cubesat weighs 1 kg.

So discounting small details like deployment mechanisms and volume:

260 x 240 = 62400 cubesats for one Starship launch by weight.

> What's the difference between a SPAC and what used to be called a "reverse merger"?

A SPAC is created for the designated purpose to become a vehicle to take another company public. In a traditional reverse merger situation both companies are engaged in some regular business activity.

> Monoliths are pretty good in most circumstances

This 1M %!

I have seen a company being approached by an agency to design and implement them an e-commerce website that consisted of multiple web services and when I was asked for feedback, I said "start small; go with WooCommerce and when you hit it big, give me a call."

They are making 500K euros selling goods while being hosted on a shared hosting with a WordPress / WooCommerce website and the server spikes at 25% the most when traffic hit the website lol!

I will paraphrase the well-known "optimization / evil" and say:

Over-engineer your infrastructure before go live will definitely lead you to failure, let alone bankruptcy.
It's still way too slow. It's a big page of text. It should load in an instant.

In my browser, I see 1.75 MB sent over the wire and a 2.5 second load time. My big pages of text [1] need 105 kB and load in 0.4 seconds. Their compressed critical CSS is the same size as my entire uncompressed CSS file. They send more CSS bytes than I send bytes in total.

If you want to make a content website fast, it's quite simple: send just the content.

I think that's exactly right and I've even heard CIOs use the term "forced experiment." A lot of things companies have done which have turned out more OK than they necessarily expected were probably on some "Interesting idea. Maybe we should try this out in some indefinite future" list.
Right. However, the FBI actually has a very close relationship with all of the tech mega-cap companies. America scolds China for having their companies majority owned by the Chinese government but the effect of the pressure of the FBI is essentially the same. They get access to all information they want and if they don't they call and put pressure. These companies are often essentially forced to comply with FBI orders or requests to halt communication. If it was one company it wouldn't be a big deal but there is huge cooperation between all the mega-cap companies and whether the FBI actually orders it or not, them working together results in mass censorship on a scale that covers 99% of internet traffic.

The majority of Samsung's phones are made outside of China (eg their huge presence in Vietnam). It can obviously be done and done affordably. Samsung wouldn't do that just for fun. If Samsung can move their assembly out of China, so can Apple.

Oracle's JVM allocates your maximum heap size at startup, but these pages aren't actually assigned to either swap space or RAM pages until the first time they're written to (or read, but unless there's a bug in the JVM, it's not reading uninitialized memory), which triggers a page fault.

If the heap usage was high, and drops enough (maybe also needs to stay low for some time period), then Oracle's JVM will release some of the pages back to the OS using madvise, so they go back to using neither RAM nor swap space. On the one hand, the JVM should avoid repeatedly releasing pages back to the OS and then page faulting them back in moments later, but on the other, it shouldn't hold on to pages forever just because it needed them for a short time.
A documentary creator isn’t necessarily a leader. A bug filer isn’t necessarily a coder.

Why should we assume that someone with the capability to see the problems needs to also be the one to posit solutions? We have plenty of people in society whose job solving problems actually is.
I believe the person who said that was Agatha Christie.

As to measuring inflation generally via the proxy of housing, the relationship is confounded by regulation that subsidizes demand and restricts supply, especially in cities like SF & NY, which is almost guaranteed to raise prices. In lots of other arenas, e.g. access to fresh food, real prices have gone down over time in America.

How is this nonsense the top comment? Who upvotes this tripe?

To counter the calculations of the IEA (who are a world more informed than cbmuser, I'm fairly sure), this guy conflates the entire historic mix of two very different countries, one with a long history of coal, natural gas and lignite (those decreasing as renewables enter the mix).

I do not think that this answers the question. It also does not need to be in the EU. Do I have the option to get a second opinion from a doctor in Brazil or the US or Russia?

> But contrary to what you seemed to be implying

I never implied that, not sure where you got that from. I find this attack unwarranted.
This is brilliant. Thank you for doing this. Where are you sourcing the original text from ?

I grew up within an easy drive of the Salton Sea and had the same reaction: it's a pretty sad and gross sea, and it's a tragedy for the people who live there, but it's not a Mad Max wasteland (seriously, Indio is a 20 minute drive away). I don't know much about Slab City though.

The wonderful part is also its Achilles heel. Mastodon is advertised as an alternative to social networks, but since your identity is tied to your node, its much closer to joining a web forum structured like twitter with the possibility (but not guarantee) of interacting with similar forums. From that perspective it's great. When people offer it as an alternative to conventional social media, it comes up massively short for anyone not trying to live in a bubble.

Contrasted with facebook (or a twitter with groups), if you join a group of motorcyclists, there's little to no risk that you'll be excluded from the Scooter group of-which you're already a member because a few bikers got into a spat with scoot-gang, nor will you be excluded from any of the groups that get along well with scoot-gang.
well done - how do you spend your time now?
Well, the account credentials would stay in the local client wouldn't they? There is no hosted web version of this (yet!) and no central server so there is no one to leak credentials to. The only receiver of the credentials would be your email provider, and you are already sending them that in your normal email client.
You have to compare to investments with similar risk profiles. For example, 10 year treasury bonds only recoup 11.4% of their cost after 10 years. That doesn't mean nobody will accept that return. Not everyone is in a situation where equity index funds make the most sense as a marginal investment.
PSLV-C37
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSLV-C37
The mission was PSLV-C37, but they also didn't tell you that the SpaceX flight was F9-106 or that it flew on booster B1058. Would you describe that as the BBC's anti-American stance at work? Or maybe the serial numbers tacked on to the missions aren't really newsworthy, and anyone who wants more specific details can type "104 satellites" into google?

I vouched you comment back up because I think it's worth linking, but no need to ascribe some sort of malicious motive to the BBC here.

I feel like most people under 30 on this site and not in SV are not a millionaires.

Although it does seem there are tons of very wealthy people on here. I mean, I see one comment with 20ish million and another with 100 million. I'll never see that in my life.
I don't think its hysterical or fear-mongering to ask nuclear proponents to take into consideration the cost of managing nuclear waste.

I don't think its fair to draw a line in the sand and declare that those costs are for future generations and don't need to be considered now.
I’m telling you that black people in America have a culture that is descended from a lot of sources, and you cannot just simplify it as Anglo-Saxon, again because such a wide swath comes from the African diaspora that ignoring that means ignoring its most noticeable aspects. Gospel, jazz, blues, and rap are not descended from any Anglo-Saxon musical tradition, nor are our dances, or many of our foods.

American culture is largely descended from Anglo-Saxon culture, but that doesn’t transitively mean that all American culture is now Anglo-Saxon. The pockets of non Anglo-Saxon culture are not recent additions to black culture, they’ve been intact and distinct throughout their history. The Gullah people are American, not an expat community.
> You need to have a thick skin

Actually we need the rest of social media to have this, and then we don't need these alternative platforms.

There are simply too many people who have grown up without having any meaningful opposition in their lives - without having someone challenge their ideas and values and making them defend said ideas and values, and they simply do. not. know. how to cope with it.
Sorry - I am speaking specifically of the home brewing community. You can see them using, and recommending, glass marbles / glass balls all the time.

Yes, I cannot imagine this method being used in serious retail production.
No, it's not too harsh. A Mastodon instance doesn't even give you access to Diaspora* users.
It sucks when mail providers don't support standards like IMAP. Solution: Choose a better mail provider or make a second account with one.
How many square meters would you have to zero the albedo of to generate an equivalent amount of power with solar? Is or isn't solar-generated electricity magically exempt from the laws of thermodynamics that convert it to heat when you actually use it?

Comparing tradeoffs is what we should be doing, but it's really frustrating when people just pretend that their favorite technology doesn't have the tradeoffs.
Mental Model Fundamentals
"Germany had a lot of nuclear power"

No, they really didn't. At its height it accounted for barely 20%. It was dwarfed by coal, lignite and natural gas. It was never anything like France that went all in with nuclear.

Since then, German consumption has exploded, yet the non-renewables have stayed about static while virtually all new demand is met with renewables.
In large parts of the world (e.g. where I live, in Texas, USA) this is by far when the largest electricity usage is (because it's when the air conditioners are working hardest). So, yes we will have to have some non-solar energy, we could get to much larger than we already are (and it's growing fast) because that is when the peak usage is.
Yeah. Which is why I'm personally huge on paying plenty of taxes and having lots of social systems. If someone's time is spent fulfilling basic needs, it will take generations for them to get out of that.
Ask HN: Are there part-time remote web developer jobs out there
I am currently working in web development as a front-end developer full-time, however, before I started I spent about 3-4 months looking for a part-time web development job to no avail as I wanted to split my time up between my passion (music) and having a livable income. My search was mostly in the Toronto/GTA region.

Most companies I pitched the idea of part-time work too always replied that they would need someone full-time, so I got the impression that part-time web development jobs just aren't out there, at least in my region.

My question is, do any of you web developers out there have a part-time gig, or have seen part-time job opportunities for web development work?

Thanks.
Skinny guy, no obvious source of airway obstruction. Maybe that's why the cpap doesn't work. I think I literally hold my breath (some variant of so-called "central" apnea?) and foil the cpap that way.

Please stop repeating the "testosterone==aggressiveness" falsehood. There isn't a 1:1 correlation. Humans are way more complex than that.

> thus natural selection drives testosterone down

Also you are implying that natural selection is currently existing in human society. It does not.

...and that such selection works so fast that it changes human genome within a generation of two. This is simply impossible.
What's the best way to rip DVDs through the CLI these days? Are the error correction techniques in the DVD standard enough to ensure that a simple `cat /dev/dvd0` or `dd /dev/dvd0` is going to work (and, in particular, fail if an error can't be corrected)?

This is not what I got from the FAQ.
You’re right, and this is a good clarification. And it’s a list, where order matters, as each transform applies to the result of the previous transform. This is a place where any kind of composition syntax would be a huge improvement, as it behaves much more akin to a pipe than a list.

Nice to see another company covering all these steps and validating the work we've done at my company. Unfortunately we weren't as successful, or at least, our results were not as fruitful. A good score for our site (tracker.gg) is 70 on mobile. Turns out it's pretty hard to optimize the bootstraping of an application that can render 20 different websites! Mobile devices spend 1200ms on the main thread. It will be interesting to see how these changes impact our page rank when Google starts incorporating Core Web Vitals into its algorithm this year.
New Zealand and Australia seem to have done well enough. Though I accept the physical isolation of those countries makes it politically easier to make harder decisions.
Look at my comment history for a previous discussion but these studies also include theoretical costs for non-renewable energy called 'carbon pricing'. It's flat-out dishonest.

If solar power were the cheapest energy source, it would be unilaterally adopted until it's no longer the cheapest option--it's trivial to hook up to the grid, private individuals do it today. Unless of course there is a global conspiracy with the entire energy utility, semiconductor, and financial industry; private individuals; and municipalities to avoid profit seeking behavior.
> after controlling for physical activity

You say that like it's easy to do. It's not. That's not directly measurable, certainly not across generations. It's only barely become measurable in the past five or six years.

How would you go about getting this information in the 1970's? Self-reported data would be the best you can do. Getting actual measurements of that information is something which (I suspect) is not available at a large scale beyond a few years of data. Whether it is (even now) linked to measurements of testosterone at a large scale is doubtful.

I doubt that there is high-quality data on actual physical activity at a large scale at all, let alone linked to measurements of hormone levels from any of the 1990's, 1980's, 1970's, ... etc. It will only get much much harder going back.

So "controlling for" physical activity is a non-trivial task in the very best case.
Why is this a problem? Slippers are cheaper than hiking boots, but I am not expecting that slippers can satisfy all my footwear needs.
I got banned by WeChat last week for a while for using "unauthorized plugins". They seem to also be adamant about not allowing people to run WeChat on virtual machines.

Seriously, WTF? It's none of your business what device I use and whether it's virtual or not.

I got a cease-and-desist from Facebook many years ago for trying to write a Perl interface to their messenger.

I own and control my devices, damnit. I hate these walled garden messaging apps that seem to actively thwart innovation. All I want is a protocol (which I'm even happy to pay for!) and I will decide how messages present themselves on my end.

Many years ago I used Pidgin to interface to MSN, ICQ, AIM, QQ, Gtalk, Yahoo, Zephyr, and a couple others. It was great -- I had E2E encryption (sorry Pichai and Whatsapp I had E2E encryption on ALL of my messengers before you all decided to wall-garden your apps and then do some stupid PR stunt about E2E encryption years later), automatic human language translation, automatic LaTeX rendering, and a bunch of other features, all of which I don't have now because the messenger apps everyone uses now are anti-innovation. We've taken a huge step backward.
Fukushima was not long ago, either. I don't think it's a strong enough reason not to use nuclear at all given the alternatives, but all nuclear plants have fairly catastrophic failure modes in the event of an unforeseen problem and require constant maintenance and supervision in order to keep running. In areas of the world with little political stability or public funding, this makes other solutions much more attractive than they would be in an ideal world. Acting like people are being completely irrational in worrying about nuclear accidents is pretty disrespectful.
For me the best laptop I've owned is the 17 inch LG Gram.

Is this just a template for the landing page or is there a user section? I can't see any info on how to login to the demo app.

Also, it may just be me but the fact I would have to use Firebase scares me off this. I've heard more horror stories of seemingly minor Firebase usage generating massive bills than I have from the entire AWS system.
You can do it by hand with the dism tool like so,

I copied that from a ZDnet article with more details. Wasn't sure about posting the URL but searching will find it.
Whenever I'm showing symptoms of sleep deprivation my SO, who at a certain point in her life spent a few weeks helping a young man regain basic communication skills after a stroke, asks me if I'm having one at the moment.

One sign, which I observed in a few other sleep-deprived people as well, is the inability to form a coherent sentence - or even say a single word sometimes.
Yeah, that's pretty small as is.

Anecdata: I cut out all caffeine during quarantine and I've never slept better. But I was drinking ~12oz a day prior to that. And I also cut out all the other drugs in my life too. And the commute due to WFH. Honestly, trying to say it was one thing that made my sleep better isn't really possible, it's all entangled. But the SO says that caffeine was the major culprit.
Pyston 2.1 Is Blowing Past Python 3.8/3.9 Performance
Yes. This is one thing the USSR did well, they captured heat from almost all power stations to provide heat to the local city (that was probably built to house employees of the plant).
