The person is mentality ill. Their sentences break with grammar. The have no literal meaning. Commenting on anything they say ("He’s already stated that he’s lost $15M of business") is meaningless.

Perhaps how to respond might be worth talking about. I think it's simple. Do not. Don't blog. Don't email. If you have to, talk to the police.

It's possible they are a GPT. I think if the AI ethics people weren't the awful people they are, this is something they would have discussed by now. The two will overlap and it will become an actual ethics issue, especially when GPT tries to act like they are mentally ill.

Cannot prove some program is correct, in general, because that’s effectively the halting problem. But in practice it is sufficient to enforce (prove) the absence of behaviors via constraints like types or contracts.

Yeah but that's going to be paid for property insurers or perhaps federal disaster relief funds. ERCOT successfully externalized the cost of coping with frigid temperatures, allowing them to provide power at lower prices.

Plastic has found its way into water everywhere on Earth [1] and they don't degrade for centuries. Instead of making people recycle, why not tax the externalities upstream and nudge corporations into using biodegradeable materials?

I don't think anybody said the market solves all problems. It's completely possible to have a free market with some regulations, you just say that to participate in the market you must meet certain reliability standards, like being able to withstand low temperatures for a long period of time. Private businesses can count on being bailed out when once in a few decade disasters happen (which makes some sense, imo, since it's not efficient for each business to prepare for disasters), so the only way they will prepare is if they are required to.

A nitpick, I'm living in one of these countries that "eradicated Covid" and the frankly obvious truth is they didn't, their borders were completely open for months after covid was detected and spreading like fire, and they never adapted the widespread testing and mortality classification regimes like the US did.
Maybe the difference is mostly marketing in that SpaceX seems to make more of its non-governmental identity than many other US companies and within the US other companies, if thought of at all, are thought as part of their linguistic or national heritage. Like Arianespace "is" French or any *cosmos "is" Russian.

I was thinking that SpaceX seems more private because they have a seemingly valid consumer market with StarLink, but how different is that from Hughes, HughesNet, EchoStar and Dish Network? Ok, Hughes didn't build their own rockets but they still had to pay for them.

A lot of people here are talking about how school really is just babysitting a lot of the time, and it's reasonable to say, and it's just getting dragged because it was broadcasted. I don't really believe that, but I think more to the point, you'd hope that people that get on the school board believe that school is more than that. Like, if that's a position you've pursued, I would hope that you believe in public education as an important part of serving the welfare of all people, of its ability of reduce poverty long term, blunt its worst effects short term, provide us with a literate electorate, etc.

If you don't have a spark of that, why would you get yourself into that office?

And if you do believe in schools as a powerful public good, how could you belittle the parents who maybe are finally reaching a fuller understanding of how critical the system you guide really is?

People running public schools shouldn't just be trying to figure out how to be as open as they safely can be, but they should be figuring out how to capitalize on the increased demand for schools to get resources to improve public education for the next decade.
"Grid operators" are the regulators. They're the people the government by statute gives regulatory authority over the grid.

The alternative to forcefully disconnecting people is to get people to volunteer because the prices for not doing so are higher they want to pay.

It's plausible that they had an information problem that should be addressed, i.e. people didn't realize that they're paying dollars rather than cents per kWh and correspondingly didn't cut usage. Maybe some kind of messaging system where everyone gets a text message estimating their monthly electric bill at their current usage and price, causing tons of people to say "oh crap" and go do something about it.
Any competitive launcher should be reusable. Blue Origin's New Glenn could be SpaceX's biggest rival.
>And what I and a lot of others are saying is that no, they are not experiencing similar problems.

Didn't you say before that you didn't try and not even intended to? How you can say after that that you do not experience it? I mean how would you know? It's pure guess.
How would you know about others? You simply can't.

I didn't state anywhere here that _all_ are experiencing what I have , I only presented facts of my personal experience and suggested that this is worth checking because I sense tendency. Too many problems for one computer.

Instead of listening to the facts people are trying to downvote and avoid seeing the fact or inventing some stories about some mysterious hardware problem that I didn't observe. Apple diagnostics didn't observe it too.

I do listen, there is always a possibility of hardware problem but even if it's a hardware issue it's still an issue speaking about quality. One thing is to have such possibility in mind and another immediately jump into conclusion that there are no problems.

Modern software is full of bugs, many of them people usually do not notice, but they are still bugs and they are still there. It's such a surprise for anyone around here? I mean any developer with some experience aware that barely something works if it works at all.

I state observed facts and get downvoted even for that on the site that supposed to be respectful to the facts and reason. I do not understand should we listen to BS or Facts in 21th century?

No one have pointed out to one mistake or were I was incorrect in my statements. They just downvote and trying to ignore what have happened in reality. I would not suggest a hardware problem in such case, I would suggest a 'mind' problem of those who have managed to downvote perfectly checked facts and reasonable arguments.

a former colleague started another startup here, Akita, so I've been thinking a bit about these. I like this idea as a developer for when a third-party API stinks, but as an API provider, this a painfully indirect approach. I want to document our APIs and generate good UIs for that, and less interested in reverse engineering & comparing, which these focus on, and I assume, are thus less focused on doing a good job when we can give that data.
But that's why I don't go to those sites, and come to HN instead.

Just like I don't look for something to eat in a latrine.
They obviously need (and apparently lack) some kind of system for notifying people when prices are spiking unusually high so that exactly that can happen.
Again, I’ll ask more directly: do you think 0.45% of the budget will solve those environmental problems enough to offset what is lost in aspirational benefit? I think where we disagree is that you seem to think both are mutually exclusive

You can also do that 100% legally as a non US citizen (I did), with the added advantage of not paying US taxes.

You have to pay taxes and social security in the country where you reside, not where you are a citizen and/or work (mostly).

Why should I pay 3rd parties to send my own crypto to my users, from my own node? I'm already paying the hosting. It isn't free. I've invested in the server.

Fees make microtransactions impossible. Running a node gives me direct access to the Nano network.

I live in a country with many American expats, none of them have had any problem whatsoever to access to banking services, including opening accounts

If you're question is 'why can increased CO2 lead to colder weather in Texas?'

There's a huge difference between describing average temperatures (what people describe as 'global warming') and describing the temperatures on any specific day.

Previously, a strong jet stream air current trapped cold polar air far north of Texas (which is say 30' North latitude). As the pole's warm, the jet has become pone to weakening allowing cold polar air to move very far south e.g. 90'N to 30'N in Texas, which sits east of the rocky mountains in the US.

Effects like this are why a lot of people are using the term 'climate change' more frequently. Because an increase in CO2 means more than just an average higher surface temperature. Weather changes and instabilities will grow more common, with a bias to warmer events over all.

Think of it as the 'variance in the weather' is growing along side the mean weather (temperature) is going up.

Yes, as an American I'll agree our politics has plenty of instabilities as well.
> Are you uncomfortable supporting your position?

Unlike you, I am not. It simply comes back to an issue that you have been avoiding for quite a while:

All of today's grids started with smaller, less-connected entities. That is not an adequate justification for the current situation. The idea that Texas alone is somehow constrained, by forces beyond its control, from changing with the times, is absurd.

There are obscene penalties for improper reporting of foreign bank accounts via FATCA regulations, even if you made a prudent attempt of doing so in your US income taxes. Due to this, you always have to use a CPA as a form of insurance when filing US income taxes abroad.

You must have a bank account in Croatia, for example, to get various things done with Croatian government bureaucracy. Generally speaking, some German and Austrian banks will do business with American citizens. It is important to be gracious and patient, as FATCA is a huge pain.

There is a Foreign Earned Income Exclusion on US income tax returns. For 2020 it is $107,600, and for 2021 it is $108,700. Obviously investments are another story. But, many Americans abroad do not have to pay US income taxes, but they do have to file them.

In the US, with good health insurance benefits through a large employer, my out-of-pocket costs were around $25,000-$30,000/year. Even if I paid US taxes on top of the European taxes, it is not the worst thing in the world: I never have to worry about being cared for here, and the doctors have a lot more time for me here, and can follow my case better.

I also require an orphan drug to stay alive, which costs hundreds of thousands of dollars per year in the US, typically covered by insurance, but not guaranteed. So, I could always end up with an obscene bill in the mail. (It has happened before and I have been lucky to get off the hook.)
Why you expect it ? I ran apple diagnostics. No issues found.

Nand2tetris is pretty awesome if you don’t already have strong CS fundamentals and feel like you “know how computers work”. If you had a good C.S education though you may not get much out of it.

Here is a cool one I worked on awhile ago when I wanted to learn more about foundationDB: https://github.com/richardartoul/tsdb-layer

A long time ago I wanted to learn about regular expression engines so I wrote a tiny one: https://github.com/richardartoul/regex-engine

I built this with some friends a few years ago: https://hyperdash.io/ (building the backend for this was a good learning experience and I learned a lot about writing multi threaded software making the python SDK).

Those are just some examples to give you an idea, but to be honest it’s hard to give a good answer because side projects are deeply personal.

It takes serious discipline and motivation to spend your nights and weekends writing code when that’s how you spend your working hours as well, so it’s really gonna be about what motivates you and will keep you engaged while also gaining “high leverage” skills (anything fundamental in the realm of networking, compilers, databases, data structures, etc. basically anything that’s not just another language or framework)

The main problem with drugs is when companies in pursuit of wealth and power sells highly addictive drugs to kids ruining their lives. Imagine if instead of putting sugar in everything they put addictive drugs in everything, that is what full legalization would result in.

Harsh punishments for personal use are nonsense, USA are just insane on that, but I don't think making everything legal is reasonable.

The iMac G4 didn't support virtualization, so booting an alternative OS is more attractive. And the Nvidia GPU is probably easier to find cross-platform drivers for. New drivers or some sort of IOKit compatibility layer need to be developed for the M1 GPU (which is orders of magnitude more complex).

(I can run OpenBSD on any modern piece of hardware, though; the novelty and nostalgia are in running Mac OS 9 on that.)
That tends to be the deciding factor. If you live somewhere with many US expats, the banks are usually willing to jump through hoops to get you as a customer.

Housing is only a side effect. The main thing is, Canadians do not make enough children. With fertility rate less than 1.5, immigration is the only source of healthy population.
That said, current requirement to have a job to immigrate, makes government locked in its own bureaucracy in current conditions. Businesses need people but no one wants to bet on human resource which needs months if not years to get there.

US with 1.75 is not far ahead, and recent administrations games will soon create a similar crisis.
Green energy kills. They killed the coal industry, along with a lot of sick and elderly folks. China and India get to build a new coal plant a day. Americans pay them billions. And Americans die because zero sum lawyering fools have no soul are a happy to take money from marxists, dictators, jihadis and other crooks, grinding up their own people and selling what comes out.

Knowledge exists in things that are built. When you tear it down because you are using the law to become a movie star, you loose all that knowledge. People long ago knew about windmills and natural gas. There's a reason why they used something else. Natural gas is dry, very difficult to seal. What's the carbon footprint of fixing all those mistakes? You would have been better to just leave it alone, but then no one would want anything to do with you.

And you talk about regulations. How about we dive deep into that. Who do you think writes those? The apex predators of the markets you are regulating. The regulations will shore up pensions that go to organized criminals, and foreign aid for gender studies in Pakistan. They'll find some fool to slap the green energy fraud label on it, and rolling brownouts nationwide.

Our leaders are owned by people who hate America. They are outright hostile to Americans and now are openingly killing them at home for money. Won't be long until the push the button on the entire nation, and crude adolescent Maoists use what's yours as their summer home.
I think there is another way to look at it. If not for Apple’s hardware policies, you would just be able to run your favorite OS on their hardware. It’s the fact that they publish EULAs and NDAs so long that it probably wouldn’t have fit I to the RAM of their first computers which actively slow down or prohibit any work by developers. Why isn’t it Apple whom we should find unappealing?

For the digital nomad visa in Estonia, for example, you need connections there to essentially get it.

Czech Republic has a self-employment visa that allows you to work without formal business connections within the country, which is pretty unique among the European Union.

Generation is supply. If it freezes, supply decreases.

> It's entirely possible that it isn't profitable for them to do the winter-proofing. It's only needed once every decade or two.

You can get your house to zero electricity. Drain the pipes etc. and turn off the main breaker.

You're not going to want to live in it then, but staying in a hotel for a few days costs a lot less than $15,000.

There are also less drastic alternatives which would be taken by people with the ability, e.g. a lot of people have gas generators. Give them a sufficient price incentive and they switch off the grid and use their generator. Which happens at a lower price than it takes to cause people to move out, so it happens first.

Compare this to rolling blackouts where you just freeze people at random without notice and their pipes burst and flood their home etc.
