A 2 or 3 kilowatt generator installed with a transfer box for key circuits is in the range of $3000 and will run for a long time on 5 gallons of gasoline.

(The install cost is the hard thing to know the price for, but it's not a big or complicated job, there are 25 minute youtube videos showing how to do it)

So it's a lot more approachable for me up front, and then there are tradeoffs on the operation side. If gas is available, the generator can supply 10x the power of the power wall every day for a span of days. If there isn't gas available, the solar panels are going to be nice. But there's a lot of bang for the buck in a small generator (I'm basing my price above on Honda).

Her client list includes CNN, NBC, etc.

Yes, she's an independent photographer who is often under contract with CNN, NBC, etc. Not clear if she was at the time, tbh.

That wasn't exactly my only point, the way the industry works -- CNN, NBC, etc buy content from people who go into dangerous situations. So these people are in-effect the "journalists". In her case, I don't know if she was credentialed or not, but given her lack of arrest (as far as we can tell), she likely was.

My wife has never been forced to publish anything against her will. That being said, she has disagreed with the editorial decisions of the paper on a number of occasions. This is not at odds with the freedom of association; every single organization is comprised of individuals that don't always agree with one another, but work together to overcome their disagreements. Nowhere has there ever been a guarantee that the freedom of association presupposes that every individual has the freedom to confer the exact same set of opinions to everyone in their association. Importantly, my wife doesn't feel like she's entitled to the power to censure other journalists or employees in her company. I know that I don't have the power to do that in my own company, nor should I.

There's disagreement within every group, that doesn't render the concept of free association invalid. The Catholic Church has its disagreements, but that doesn't mean that they lose the freedom to congregate because they're somehow no longer a bona fide association on account of that internal disagreement. The Democratic Party has its disagreements (heaven knows), the Republican Party is essentially at war with itself, the Libertarian Party can never agree on what it stands for because it's a motley crew of weirdos. None of this matters, they are all protected by the First Amendment, as associations. Whether they are traded on the NYSE, or they are 501(c)4 non-profit corporations, or they are just an amateur club, they are protected by the same First Amendment, and are subject to the same narrow limits on speech established by Brandenburg v Ohio (and all other relevant precedents).

Obviously the transaction cost to quitting and finding a new job is not zero; the Constitution's protection of the freedom of association has no guarantees on what the transaction cost to associate are. Just like free speech, you're free to say whatever you want, but you're not entitled to a free platform; promulgating speech costs money. You're free to keep and bear arms, but you're not entitled to a free rifle; guns cost money.

Associations are more than capable of gross misbehavior; but in manners related specifically to the publishing of speech and expression, they enjoy outsized protection, at least in the United States.
Pakistan and Bangladesh were part of the India that was then exploited. It would be impossible to apportion the debt between the three, which is in any case academic because none of the three get to collect on any of it.

How to assess the debt for the millions very deliberately starved, as recently as by direct choice of Winston Churchill, would be hard to imagine.
I agree it's poorly written - just like her twitter, and it even sounds nonsensical, but why is it nonsense?

The basic point seems to be that she has been handled differently than others (discrimination), made to wait a lot; and that she has been handled a "final decision" without any explanation, which she tries to present as a big no-no and against any inclusion effort that Google officially virtue signals.

Furthermore her point about how OKRs don't incentivize what officially is Google's policy (diversity, equity/egality, inclusion) seems like a solid point. Ironically Damore's memo tried to make the same "data driven" argument, and that made Google's blessed diversity team look pretty foolish, so he got fired because his style was also poor and nonsensical.

Thanks!
Yes, i've been speaking to some guys in the oil and gas sector and one of them told me that greasing valves in that environment is a process safety concern as the grease assists the valve to seal and prevent gas leaks.
We will definitely play the safety angle with these types of industries.
Thanks for the feedback
My comment sounds a little anti-blue collar, so I should clarify what I'm getting at. I grew up with roughnecks in and around oil fields. I'm looking at this through their eyes.

When they look at electronics, they see another thing about to break. These are guys that are used to dealing with industrial grade hydraulic systems and the like.

They also feel like they know what needs to be done to get the job done, and they are highly uninterested in introducing another way for the boss to more efficiently hassle them.

IMHO that means your biggest challenge is making fans out of the guys on the wrench through absolutely bulletproof reliability and convincing managers to not use it punitively.

I have a hard time believing this. Information was murky and information asymmetry was a big reason lots of people seemed to just apply to a flagship state u rather than look at more far flung or prestigious options, though the state u is prestigious in it's own right. There's certainly more noise now, but there's also a lot more signal (maybe the ratio is the same though). I suspect there's really fantastic info out there that's way more than I had applying to colleges way back when in 2010.

I'd be interested in doing an experiment to act like I'm in high school and want all the info on college applications and to see where I end up.

I think it's more complicated than just politics, as I was saying elsewhere (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26139732), public health officials advised against mask-wearing for general public initially for a very particular reason (possible shortages for medical frontline workers). As far as public healthy policy is concerned, where you cannot pass a certain threshold of complexity in communicating best practices to grandmas around the nation, masks work is a good enough message and it stands on pretty solid science: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.07.31.20166116v...

> Workers are still stopping to grease machines, they're still using the same amount of grease, greasing the same spots at the same scheduled times. Tracking this by cloud adds nothing really from what I can tell.

Except apparently they aren't if the initial claim is to be believed (that $21B of industrial failure is caused by incorrect greasing). If you integrate tracking hardware on a per-zerk basis, you can easily tell if a worker missed a zerk, etc.
This is bringing several interesting questions to my mind.

I wonder if the quality of noise has any bearing. For example, if you listen to pleasant music all day at work in an open plan office, does it have the same negative health effects as if it was road noise?

Do the deaf suffer the same effects of being exposed to noise? As in, is it a physiological effect of being near something loud or does your brain have to process the sound?

Learning to commit and push doesn't take that long, that's enough to maintain history and backup, which is what most sole developers need from git in the beginning. Then you learn branch or diff for cases when you need it. Then when you need to revert back to some older version you learn that. Then when you need to automate deployments you learn a bit about tagging or some branch structure for development, bug fixing, deployment whatever. You don't have to learn it all from the beginning, you learn as you go, that's at least how it works for me. Then you might learn bits and pieces for one time use and forget it later because you don't need to use it again for a year. It is just the normal pace of learning git, you don't have to grok it all at once

“A typical organization in the 2020s has:

Can people with expertise in this situation speak about how typical it is? I guess if you have all those services then you need your IDE to help - but surely this isn’t super common? If it is, what sort of size of micro service are we talking here? I’ve worked in orgs with 3M line codebases, and I’d struggle to find a hundred ways to partition the code naturally.
That's a flagship device. Obviously they won't be doing that to flagship devices.
> When they mint 1 Tether they sell it on an exchange for $1. They don't need anyone to upfront lock up $1 and then also sell it for $1...

According to the argument against Tether, your first principal here is wrong. In this argument, Tether mints a USDT and trades with someone who has bitcoin or other crypto and wants a stablecoin. What the trader believes they are getting is a coin which is 1:1 backed by USD. In this situation, it is not.

Tether gets bitcoin. Tether can then print more USDT which they trade for bitcoin at a higher price. They would then have an infinite money cheat for buying crypto assets (as long as people believe a USDT = $1) which enables them to drive the price of crypto upward.

Tether claims that the pattern is "Someone gives us USD, we give them Tether, they trade for whatever they want", this was provably false at some points in time.

I've been playing around with ipv8 recently (just for DS fun), and it definitely can work and is pretty cool. Unfortunate that it's currently Python-only, and the examples really lacked depth / practical coverage.

Biggest complaint: The wire object serialization for messages was a major PITA and I ended up resorting to packing everything into a single JSON-encoded string.

On the topic of distributed secure networks, I've continued on to combing through 0x-mesh, which is compelling to me because it's go and they've reused other open source libs as much as possible.

> > How many individual reporters at the NYT wanted to give support the Iraq war? And yet that's what the entity itself ended up doing, using their contributions.

I'm sure that individual NYT reporters disagreed with support for the Iraq War; but as a protected association, they are free to determine how they settle internal disagreements however they see fit. Every organization, group, corporation, and association has their set of internal rules, and the Constitution protects those associations specifically as it relates to speech and expression.

> Hence pointing to Equifax, which explicitly promulgates constraints on our individual behavior, and yet has escaped all sort of democratic accountability.

Not sure how Equifax is relevant. First of all, it isn't in the business of publishing speech; that's what we're talking about here. If Equifax wrote a blog post about how it should be free from legislation, it is well within its rights to do that. Second of all, if you're talking about Equifax's business practices, the user has no control over whether they interact with Equifax or not — THAT is the problem with Equifax. That's simply not true for Fox News or CNN or The New York Times where there's a direct relationship between seller and buyer. I'm not sure what Equifax has to do with any of this...
> It took me two seconds to write that. How much effort would it take you to debunk it?

How long would it take you to establish enough credibility to be able to make an accusation like that and have people actually take your word for it? There might be a few nutters out there who are so predisposed to hate JFK that they'll believe anything negative about him, but most people - even those who dislike him - would rightfully question such an outlandish statement made by someone with no credentials.

Dishonest people retain credibility when their supporters are trapped in echo chambers designed to keep the truth out. Censorship is a powerful tool for establishing and maintaining echo chambers. We need to fight echo chambers, not promote censorship.

The author is suggesting running your code (all of it) in a separate environment, that isn't prod. There is a passing acknowledgment that data exists, but nothing more about it. Very likely, he don't talk about data because bringing all of your data into another environment is indeed not viable for a lot of people, or even legal for some.

If you replace all of your data, it's still your code running there. But you must have some data, or your code won't run, and it must look like real data, or your environment will be fake again... where "look like real data" is completely problem dependent.

You assume that these traits necessarily lie on the arbitrary lines men have drawn between so-called “species”.

My point is that they do not, and that the line between different species indeed can be quite arbitrary, and can very often differ from one specialist to the other.

It is quite likely that the brain's relationships are not just 2- or 3-dimensional, but rather very highly multidimensionally interconnected.

When neural nets seriously hit the scene 30-odd years ago (I read a lot of the early papers, even having to mail off to get some in those pre-Internet days), no one seriously thought they were the way the brain works, just that they presented the opportunity to simulate a tiny slice of the way brains might work.

Conspiracy theories are only believed by those who already mistrust the target. If there's a lot of conspiracies revolving around something/someone, you have a trust problem.
An attacker does not have to wait in order to produce a parallel chain. He can mine his separate chain immediately after submitting the transaction.

Even with less than 50% hashrate, he is bound to find a few blocks in a row from time to time. Keep in mind that he can run the attack as often as he wants. This is why the recommendation is to wait for 6 blocks - it is very unlikely (not impossible) that somebody with a 20% hashrate ever finds 6 blocks in a row.

When an attack is successful, everybody will mine on the attackers chain - including the honest miners. The attackers chain is valid after all, it just has a different valid transaction set.

The significance of the 51% hashpower is that the attacker is guaranteed to succeed over a long-enough time horizon.

Reducing or removing the costs of mining a parallel chain (even for miners with 20% hashpower) reduces their cost to mine a parallel chain and weakens the security guarantee. If a miner can work on a side chain and get paid for protein folding at the same time, he can keep doing it without losing money on electricity. When he finally succeeds, he will also cash in the mining reward.
