In most disasters for which gouging laws would apply, won't the gas stations still run out even without such laws? The gas stations usually run out because the disaster stops transportation into the disaster area so the gas stations can't get resupplied.
Even i wanted to thank you for your contribution. I enjoyed your Apple 5w adapter teardown which I think is still popular. Wonder if the new 20w USB-C apple charger is still interesting.
Do you not believe people can focus on multiple different efforts? What makes you think this is 0 sum?
Today sucks. Continuing to create policies rooted in the fact that "today sucks" tends to be a path towards tomorrow sucking as well.

I do realize that creating good policies during a transition phase is especially challenging. But you tend to not get there from here if you don't bother to try to go in that direction at all.

Decrimilaziation is a good step in the right direction. Yes, there will be some pitfalls of taking it. We can and should work those and bringing up such concerns is a valuable part of that process, so thank you for doing that.

But it's not a good reason to take a good step. It just means "We also need to be concerned about unintended consequences for vulnerable populations." That's always a good thing to have your eye on, whether those vulnerable populations are children, women, people of color, the LGBTQ crowd or cis het white males with money.
Like it a lot, you can use https://joinpeertube.org/ instance for it. It's fairly easy to setup and operate https://docs.joinpeertube.org/
You're just as much treating procreation as a good unto itself, and couching it rhetoric about "unborn people" that quite literally don't exist, and as such don't desire existence.

A negative result means little, as you described.

A positive result means an immediate call to action, and a known type of malware. Chances that malware authors would produce a different malware with the same MD5 is close to zero (though, if pulled, it would be quite a practical joke).
That's what I assumed is the case, but my question is about how much data each country might have on the citizens of other countries, and whether that would affect this arrangement.

I was thinking specifically of the certain countries where you needed to hide the fact that you have been to Israel.

Or, for example, to Iran - where Americans need special government babysitters to visit the country but the Swiss don't. Wouldn't the Iranians want to monitor a Swiss-passport-carrying American as much as any other American?
My point was mainly directed at both PR and naturalization aspects of Canada that was mentioned in this post. Even if you are not a student, the road to PR in Quebec is long if you do not have meet the language requirement. Typically you apply for Quebec Selection Certificate (CSQ) which is a pre-requirement for PR. This pre-requirement also has a pre-requirement nowadays, which is getting an invitation to apply for CSQ through ARRIMA (which has a yearly cap). In total,even if you are not a student, if you do not meet language requirement, it can take 3-4 years just to get the PR, and 3 more for citizenship. Thus, my point was against the classic misconception of “easy path to citizenship” of Canada made by this post (and frankly by a lot of people in general, as they tend to overlook Quebec).
It seems that a large number of posts here are from the NYT. This always makes me wonder if they, and others, post on sites like this to drive up their page views.
There's lots of ways global warming could lead to colder winters.[0] For example, the temperature differential between Arctic and mid-latitude air normally keeps the polar vortex contained. As this differential decreases, however, the polar vortex becomes less contained. As such, the maximum latitude reached by the jet stream increases with the Arctic's temperature. This creates colder weather in some places. [1] [2]

As unintuitive as it sounds, global warming can lead to colder temperatures. It is up to people who disagree with this theory, not its proponents, to prove their case.

Show HN: Write plain SQL, generate Typescript types of result row and parameters
Write plain SQL, generate Typescript types of result row and parameters

Inspired from discussion in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26190256

This tool enable using SQL as the single source of truth. Avoid the need to manually keep the SQLs and types in sync.

It's easier to get good performance and simplicity using hand written sql then using ORM.

Just hack that for Typescript over this weekend (: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26211286
This article only catches its stride halfway through. At first, I nearly pulled a muscle rolling my eyes at the “the standard deviation of total returns” argument. Of course the standard deviation of total returns will be higher for stocks than bonds, because the potential gains are so much larger! A (penny + a lottery ticket) has higher standard deviation in total returns than just a penny, but that doesn’t make its risk meaningfully higher. Risk aversion only really kicks in on the downside, so standard deviation of total returns is a useless measure.

Luckily, I kept reading, because the option pricing argument seems extremely solid to me. The common sense notion that your expected downside gets smaller over time is actually wrong according to options pricing - actually, longer-term put options are more expensive. I don’t see a way around that.
How do you recommend practicing? I often have trouble with the basics, like connecting to repeaters. When I do, I don't hear much traffic or it seems like a semi-private conversation where it would feel "rude" to say something.

Do I just keep talking into the void and waiting?

Also, I have cheap equipment, so scanning is really slow and I don't know if it even really works. I can make simplex connections on 70cm and 2m with friends when I prearrange, but that's it.

I don't have tons of time but if I felt like I could hop into a conversation and be welcome (and others would be patient) then I would sometimes.
WWDC included discussion of "Reduced security" mode, which allows downgrading to old signed versions of MacOS, but I don't remember any disclosure of plans to permit arbitrary operating systems at that point - do you have a pointer?

Edit: The transcript at https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2020/10686/ discusses reduced security, but doesn't say anything about booting arbitrary code.
Ok sorry to keep pressing on this but I must understand it. Does it smell “bad” or just “strong”?

There are certain things that smell strong to me but not bad at all and sure the smell may be a bit tiring after a while. For example perfume or certain foods etc. There are other things, including food, that are both and can be unpleasant. Of course the obvious bodily ones but also fermented cabbage, some cheeses, old fruit etc can be unpleasant.

But I wouldn’t call the smell of a bigmac unpleasant. Or a steak and chips for that matter or spaghetti bolognese. If you were eating that on a plane it would be actually pleasant for me. I’d prob feel like eating the same and have a smile thinking “who’s the lucky devil tucking into that spag bol?!”
It's trivial to bypass. I just hit the Stop button before the JavaScript finishes loading, but private tabs, reader mode, etc. should also work.
At first blush, it looks to me (some random internet stranger) like this might qualify for Show HN, which tends to get more exposure for new projects:

But there is a risk in not taking risk too. If you had taken this advice over the last ten years (my grandmother did, for instance) you’d have missed the greatest decade in stocks and property for many years, and are much poorer because of it.
I think most people would prefer not having an extra OS underneath when possible.

Also, the G4 iMac is a special piece of hardware in my book. I'd love to Frankenstein an M1 G4 iMac.
The name for this is ‘variable reward’, and yes it is the root of gambling addiction as well.
I'm not in the US, and this article isn't paywalled for me (I checked).
The quotation raises an interesting point about equality. Maybe it'd be better to make there be no payment at all, then anyone who wants to participate _purely out of concern for the greater good and for no other reason_ would get an equal chance, and there wouldn't be perverse incentives then.
Your comment is akin to saying “it’s so embarrassing that Plato was having thought experiments about spelunking.”

Your comment — and the one to which it responds — is cringeworthy.
Sorry for stating the obvious - but it seems you found your “hard problem” then :)
She recently supported Putin becoming a perpetual dictator.
Not you. Just frustrated by the seeming religious fervor some Apple-haters have. Seems like sometimes people are willing to go through great contortions to figure out how whatever Apple did is wrong.

Totally understand why people might prefer Linux/ Windows/ Amiga/ whatever. People should just enjoy what they want.
Or also if your pilots have just finished their type rating and used to fly A320s. Hopefully they remember that you actually need to manage your throttle on a Boeing!
Problem with you who are used to USA is that to you making drugs illegal means putting random people into prison for years. For me it means the kids who go out to smoke weed maybe get caught once every few years and gets a slap on the wrist and a small fine. I see how the first creates more problem than having things legal, I don't see how the second creates problems for society and I'd suggest you try that before you progress further.
The first Final Destination movie starts with a ground observer scene of about that distance of a plane crashing right after takeoff.

I don't know whether your age fits, but maybe you saw this and recalled it in your sleep every so often.

It would be to Apple's advantage somewhat to make that happen right? Apple wants to sell hardware and does not mind people running virtualised Windows or Linux on it?
I have seen the incredible results of psilocybin, but these results are on adult brains.

MDMA I'm less sure about due to possible neurotoxicity, I'd need to do more research on it, but my mind isn't closed to it.

This feels like a huge dodge. Why do folks control dependencies? Why do so many foundation layers insist on breaking changes?

It is almost ironic, as linux is known for not breaking up the abstraction ladder.
This does not exist in Home versions of Windows 10 unless there is no active network connection.
Here's a modest proposal: All these benefits to a <100 year lifespan would be even more dramatic with a <50 year lifespan. Just think how much more meaningful each year would be, if you only got half as many! Think of how many more "firsts" there would be if we execute people who turn 50!
Lots of regions with bitterly cold winters have wind, solar and gas plants that function just fine.

I'm don't think you can do GPU or PCI passthrough on macOS. Not sure if/when Apple would consider adding that.

I'm glad the things I want to do on Linux are all terminal based. I used a tiling WM for years on Arch and don't miss it much with all the macOS WM extensions available now (Magnet, Rectangle, Moom, Hammerspoon, etc). Less themeable but perfectly functional.

Most jobs are boring if you aren’t interested in the problem they’re solving. I appreciate you throwing some shade at the otherwise hive mind here but you’ve kind of jumped to the opposite direction. I don’t find recording audio interesting but there’s a whole field about it and I assure you I know people who find the art of recording sounds interesting who aren’t “telling themselves” it isn’t just to keep from being depressed. People are interested in different things and programming, like math, is the art of abstract problem solving and there very much are millions of people who find the act of abstracting problems and automating their solutions interesting. Your comment is downvoted because you are claiming otherwise to a community full of these very people.

Sure programming is boring, to the billions of people who aren’t programmers just as recording audio or, for a “real world” type of fun like you imply, playing most sports, is boring to me.
I live in rural Texas. Tuesday it was 10-20 degrees here, today was high 60s, tomorrow will be 70s. Thursday I was wondering where to evacuate to if I ran out of propane, today I turned off the furnace because it was too hot in the house.

To think this would not have an effect on energy demand, and thus price, is delusional.
You may also get access through a local library (or via university). But as others mentioned, the paywall is easily avoided through blockers (no special config for ones I've used), reader mode, (or even certain links, feeds?)
Ah, the good old Disney "Black Diamond" nonsense again. It's a new reseller trap. (I know this particular case is more about the cover art but it's the same thing).

I really wish people would learn to look at sold comps instead of what the listing prices are.
Yeah we had all those too. Not sure where it was coming from but it was abundant in all varieties and as cheap as $1 a hit.
One danger is that dependencies are not getting updated regularly and one day one find oneself depending on a very old version of a dependency.

That is only a problem if the old dependency no longer provides the required functionality, though. In many cases, that will never happen.

The other is that it may not always be possible/practical for other people to be at the that exact version. Some libraries can depend on system libraries that cannot be easily upgraded. E.g., numpy depends on underlying system libraries and it is not always possible to choose whatever version. GUI-libraries ultimateley depend on system GUI-libraries which also, practically speaking, cannot be updated to any random version.

Ironically, the problem you've described here originates with dependencies not having stable dependencies themselves. This is why it's so important for foundations like operating system or other platform APIs to offer excellent stability and longevity, and more generally for libraries that want to be relied upon to offer clear version information and backward-compatible updates.

One question that one can ask, though, is whether one wants to experience that pain sooner or later. I am thinking of https://martinfowler.com/bliki/FrequencyReducesDifficulty.ht... here.

But what if you never have to experience that pain at all? Or if you can experience it only once, much later, when it really does become unavoidable, instead of experiencing a similar amount of pain multiple times along the way?

Look at the sketch graph in that article, the one with time between actions and pain as the axes. Tell me what it means.

Nothing. It means nothing. It conveys literally no evidence or data of any kind. And the entire argument rests on that non-existent foundation.
I'm curious what you think the solution is. I have my ham license and work in commercial radio, so I certainly have an idea of how the tools work. But even in an area with a lot of repeaters, there is pretty limited activity at any given time, so what are people supposed to do to get experience? ARES/RACES type emergency response groups practicing for cold war, pre-internet type threats don't appeal to everyone.

Sadly, the digital protocols for local use in the VHF/UHF bands available to new hams (2m / 70 cm) are generally boring 1980/90s-esque technology. Would be nice if a newer system came about for messaging and bulletin board type systems - voice doesn't scale.
My experience is that acculturation took a while, but it was much faster than the rate of political change in my birth country.
You can usually get a lot of useful and interesting information from the comments on HN submissions even if you don't or can't read the article.

Often, top level comments aren't even really about anything in the article. The article reminds the commentator of some tangent and they comment on that tangent. That top level comment and its comment subthread are in effect a separate article and its comments.

It's often these tangents that make HN comment threads worth reading.
Bills mount in Texas power market after freeze sends prices soaring
While I'm sure plenty of sites do, a huge venue like NYT has so many readers there is bound to be HN users among them that will post anything remotely relevant. Most times I see something on a major site that I think would be worthwhile for HN, it has been posted long before I saw it.
I mean. How much is classic Perl used in web applications these days?
Nah, I want to choose the kernel.

This statement is a bit presumptuous: "It's almost guaranteed you will never fully get Wi-Fi, audio, graphics acceleration, the trackpad, etc. working flawlessly."

Maybe I do not want all those things every time I boot. Apple used an "alternative OS" for their Airport routers: NetBSD. Kernel was around 6.x if I recall correctly. Seemed like Wi-Fi worked preety good, maybe even "flawlessly".

It's a computer. As the purchaser, I should get to decide how it is used. Using Apple software should be optional.

Let me see if I understand you correctly:

You are not a US citizen nor living in the US. But you would like me -- an American citizen who is living in the US and spent many years living in California -- to defer to your personal opinions about how best to manage the problems in my country.

I'll pass, thanks.

We have a several hundred year history in this country of crapping all over Natives and people of color and they tend to be the ones ending up in our prisons for years and years on end on BS excuses and to my mind this is a vastly more serious problem than some kid no longer living in fear if he tries mushrooms or something that it will leave him with a criminal record, which may not stop him from trying them and may, instead, begin his descent into a life of crime as he gradually figures out how to get away with more crap in a system that he knows for a fact is out to get him.

From a certain point of view, we're all biological machines designed to spread life, and the reason we want to be alive is because the creatures who didn't, didn't fight hard enough to get here today. So from that point of view, sure - choosing to be alive for as long as possible is about as meaningful as trying to get the highest score on an arcade game.

So sure, a person ought to be free to step off of the biological treadmill and come up with their own goal and purpose. But what alternate purpose do you propose? I've come up with quite a few that appeal to me, and for all of the ones I like, living longer is still beneficial.
> The wholesale power price was at the maximum allowable $9,000 a megawatt hour for five days from last Sunday. For a household, that translates to a $9 a kilowatt-hour electricity rate, compared with a typical cost of 12 cents.
Not if you're yearly income is less than $12000, and I don't think they'll go after you even if you make $100 thousand, because you still won't have to pay any US even if you do file (most countries have agreements with the US to avoid double-taxation below a certain amount). I know a lot of American citizens who live permanently in Canada, and not all of them file US taxes, including my mother in the decades she's lived in Canada.
what i want to know is who is still buying tape backups? lto-8 tapes are $85 for 12TB. that's not actually that stellar- you might not believe what good enterprise hard drives sell for!- but it's still 2 log2 orders of magnitude cheaper. it's throughput is faster than hard drives too! latency, alas, well, yeah, not so good. ;)

alas tape is just so niche. sadly. because it's so economically awesome & sensible. there's something so excellent about offline media, not-so-near-line media, endless reams of tape, bought cheap. endless storage, deep backups. and durable, easy to ship off.

vhs? meh. i see no reason to have any interest in vhs. tape drives though: i still just imagine a hard drive platter, endlessly unwinding. magnetic storage space, endlessly unfurling.
This is someone that doesn't love our craft. It's ok.

Romance can be taken away from anything, as meaning isn't objective, but a human idealization. In the end, everything we do are just atoms moving around, and after a few thousands years nothing will matter.
> your experience is an anecdote

Yes, all personal experiences are anecdotes. That's by definition.

> your experience is an anecdote and not data

As if there is something wrong with sharing anecdotes in a forum like this. This is not a scientific journal.

> I've met parents that were regretful of having children, but I have meet people who's only regret is they did not have more children than they did.

"Your experience is an anecdote, and you shouldn't share anecdotes here, but here's an anecdote from me to counter your anecdote"

> You may live in an environment where you have a limited set differing world experiences,

All they did was to acknowledge the existence of a fact they experienced personally. They don't have to see the whole world to do that. This sounds patronising. Maybe it's you who live in an environment where you have a limited set of differing world experiences? Have you never met anybody who regretted having children? How can you even believe that everyone who had children are happy with that decision, and have no regrets? I won't start with my own anecdotes, but there are many.
