We've definitely got a lot of work to do to prove that this solution can truly be carbon negative (we're actually partnering with the University of Michigan to test this over the next couple months), but many scientists agree that "bioenergy with carbon capture and sequestration" is one of the most promising forms of carbon removal. With biofuels, we could remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere for an order of magnitude less than direct air capture.
Yes, I do. I recall they had ads where they showed the amazing things you could do with one-line commands at the shell - they had examples of pipelines including grep and awk etc. I remember being amused that these familiar idioms that had been used in the Unix/Linux world for ages were being presented as amazing new capabilities.

> He saw first hand that these trucks have far less payload capacity and range, plus the batteries lose > 40% of their range in cold weather [2].

Why not use a auxiliary battery heating system that uses some kind of fuel (i.e. biofuel) for this scenario? The amount of fuel needed to heat a battery to its optimal operating temperature during cold weather is probably orders of magnitude less than the amount of fuel needed to propel a truck, so the carbon emissions would be minimal. The same system could also be used for driver cabin heat.

Hi HN!

I'm one of the engineers working on Telepresence. I've been working on it on-and-off for about 2.5 years (but with about a continuous year of "off" in the middle there). To me, Telepresence is about making Kubernetes development accessible/palatable to "traditional" developers who are skeptical/hostile to this whole "cloud native" thing (developers who are like me).

A big part of 2.1.0 is open-sourcing another big bucket of code with the CNCF, so I'd be remiss if I didn't give HN an express link to the code: https://github.com/telepresenceio/telepresence/tree/release/...

I'm here if you have any questions!
The one thing that really works for me is the speed/cruise control. I find that setting it takes my mind off watching the speed limit and gives me more time to look around for people who are crossing the street etc. When I recently bought a new car I eliminated some cars from consideration because they refuse to engage their speed controls at city speeds. I don't really understand why Toyota, as an example, refuses to engage the speed control below 45 km/h. My old VW would allow setting the speed control at any speed, even at a walking speed in 1st gear on a manual transmission.
Sounds like OP was describing compression. And there has been a trend toward dialing up the compression — but I thought it was to make the tracks "louder", stand out. I had not heard any car connection.

I mean, if it actually works, it would be turning plants into concrete, locking up their carbon. That would indeed be carbon negative. Probably a very inefficient way of doing so, if your only goal was turning plants into stored carbon, but if you're also getting zero-carbon shipping then it sounds pretty good.

Just to clarify: trans-atlantic shipments take a week port-to-port, e.g. Newark, NJ, USA to Antwerp, Belgium. (Bangladesh to Italy via Suez-channel looks like a 2-week voyage, or 3 weeks to the US west coast. Especially the latter would probably have quite a few stops on the way along the Asian coast.)
You get better economics than shipping via air-freight from one full pallet and up. Overland truck transport to and from the port is still cheaper than air freight, at least in the US and central Europe.

For these major routes, there are typically at least bi-weekly voyages scheduled, so for this kind of distance, you can expect about 11 days pretty uniformly distributed +-2 days, if you pay to get on the next ship.

This may lead to (committing to) paying for the spot on the ship when your pallet is ready for pickup at the factory, not when it arrives at the port) and use low-delay overland trucking services.
Which operate e.g. in lockstep with the port processing to get your pallet on the move within half a day of the container being unloaded from the ship, ideally having containers pre-sorted at the origin to match truck routes at the destination.
So they can go on a trailer directly from the ship and rotate drivers on the delivery tour, spending only a few minutes at each drop-off.

Because those can't rely on customers to be there and get you unloaded in less than 5 minutes, they need locations they can unload at with on-board equipment. They'd notify the customer with a GPS-based ETA display, so the customer can be ready and immediately move the delivery inside.
Rely on 360-degree "dashcam" coverage and encourage the customer to have the drop-off point under video surveillance, just to easily handle potential disputes. Have the delivery person use some suitable high-res camera with a built-in light to get some full-surface-coverage photographic evidence of the condition it was delivered in.

I'd guess with a hydraulic lift on the trailer's back and some kind of folding manual pallet jack stuck on that (fold-up) lift, so they drive up to the location, unlock the pallet jack, un-fold the lift, lower the lift almost to the ground, detach the pallet jack to drop it the last inch/few cm to the ground, pull the jack out, lower the lift the rest of the way, drive it on to the lift, open the container, get up with the pallet jack, drive the pallets (one-by-one) for this drop-off out of the container and leave them on the ground, close and lock the container, re-arm the jack's hooks, shove it jack back under the slightly-lowered folding lift, make it hook back in, fold it up, lock the hooking mechanism (against theft at a rest stop (short meal and toilet breaks exist, but showering can be delayed for the up to 2 nights)), fold it all the way up, and go on to drive to their next drop-off point.

I agree 100%, but have these sorts of guidelines been included in the right to repair bills that have been making the rounds here in the US?

They should be pretty common sense parts, but I'm not sure how they're actually determining these things in the bills which are being proposed. Do you have any more insight into what's being proposed?

Typescript is fun because when something breaks I get to play “am I stupid or is Typescript?”

It seems to be about 50/50 and I get a little ego boost when it’s not my fault. Go is no fun, when something breaks in Go I know for sure I did something stupid.

My favorite is when Typescript/Angular magically fixes itself, which I swear happens even though nobody believes me. Sometimes I think JavaScript held together with duct tape might not be completely fool-proof.

That said the “tele-sense” or whatever it’s called that tells you the errors as you type is truly awesome and so I put up with the weirdness and occasional wasted time.
I can't recall (and probably didn't know at the time...it was far from my area) where products were sourced for the Indonesia stores.

Prior to the early 2000s, WalMart had a strong 'buy American' push. It was even in their advertising at the time, and literally written on the walls at the home office in Bentonville.

Realities changed, though, as whole classes of products were more frequently simply not available from the United States, and that policy and advertising approach were quietly dropped.

Just for the hell of it, I did a quick youtube search: "walmart buy american advertisement" and this came up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XG-GqDeLfI4 "Buy American - Walmart Ad". Description says it's from the 1980s, and that looks about right.

How is this different than traditional news headline construction, other than it being done manually?
This is an interesting idea - great to see people trying out new innovative ideas. I would have a couple questions:
1. How much energy is required to extract and regenerated the adsorbent?
2. How much energy to store CO2 and how much space on-site?
(First two questions are trying to discern if it is truly a net negative product or if the remainder of the process diminish the carbon balance significantly)
3. How much are you anticipating selling CO2 and what is the level of purity (we use it for one of input gases at our company)?
4. What is the reload time for the trucks CO2 wise - and how much of an operational hurdle is the implementation/execution? Truck fleets are notorious for not wanting to change their systems, especially for new untested tech. (It is a thin margin business - risk tolerance is low)
5. Unfortunately you can't claim CO2 credits unless you sequester the CO2 - however selling to cement or other industrials you can lower their carbon abatement costs! Therefore for pricing you would price above typically CO2, but low enough that you are saving them abatement costs.
No, you're not. I'm personally under-convinced this test is measuring anything more relevant than who in the sample group notices interesting-but-irrelevant details.

FWIW, the Safe Browsing interstitials are managed by a slightly disorientating bunch of browser/renderer interactions mostly initiated by C++ that basically delivers chrome://interstitials/safebrowsing?type=malware instead of the page in question, IIRC with the renderer setup so you can't right-click and view source etc.

From a pure perspective, yes, you should be able to use headless mode and run some sort of validation on the HTML. That would make things really straightforward.

In practice... the easiest explanation is that I just spent about 35 minutes trying to find a live test/example safe-browsing trigger so I could check whether right-click is disabled, and I couldn't find one. Even after firing up a separate Chrome profile and verifying Safe Browsing was enabled at chrome://safe-browsing/, modifying /etc/hosts to point http://malware.testing.google.test/testing/malware/* anywhere did not work, none of the links https://testsafebrowsing.appspot.com/ generate any scary red warnings (and now my Downloads folder is full of EXEs), and I'm kinda sitting dazedly scratching my head a bit. Maybe all this requires some magic sauce I'm not aware of, or maybe it's just quietly bitrotted (doesn't seem to be the case?)... but the overwhelming lack of determinism is what makes trying to automate this next to impossible.

You just have to shove the website into a browser and screenshot the output. Because the chain between "load URL" and "user sees red" is that rickety, that there's no clean way to test it. D:

> They have sprinklers, with the reasoning being that the burning racks' data is gone anyway if there's a fire

I think the real problem, per that post, is this:

>> They are simple sprinklers that spray with water. It has nothing to do with very high pressure misting systems, where water evaporates instantly, and which save servers. Here, it's watering, and all the servers are dead. It's designed like that. Astonishing, isn't it?

>> Obviously, they rely above all on humans to extinguish a possible fire, unlike all conventional data centers.

(all thanks to Google Translate)

This strikes me as a terrible safety system because even if a human managed to detect the fire, they have to make a big call: is the risk of flooding the facility and destroying a ton of gear worth putting out a fire? By the time the human decides "yes, it is", it may well be too late for the sprinklers.

> and at least sprinklers don't accidentally kill the technicians.

Not a real risk with modern 1:1 argon:nitrogen systems – the goal is to pump in inert gases and reduce oxygen content to around 13%, a point where the fire is suppressed and people can survive. You wouldn't want to be in a room breathing 13% oxygen for a long time, but it won't kill you.

All in all, it looks like this was a "normal accident"[1] for a hosting company that aggressively competes on price. The data center was therefore built with less expensive safeties and carried a higher risk of catastrophic failure.

Right now, we're probably at around 60-70% lifetime reduction (we're doing a comprehensive lifecycle analysis during our first pilots this summer). Over time, as the capture rate of our device approaches 100%, we think we can get close to 100% CO2 capture (since we'll be capturing the emissions from the truck and from transporting the CO2 to an end user, the main source of emissions). The only other source of emissions is the energy used by the pump at the offload station, and our early partners are powering that with renewable energy.

Your explanation of the wage gap is wrong.

The supposed wage gap is actually a reflection of the effort gap (men work substantially more) and death gap (men die at work 10x as often, in the US).

Feminists just want equal pay for unequal contribution.

The wage gap would disappear if women closed the effort and death gaps.
Hey, this looks really cool.

In my line of work [1] I talk to a lot of developers about productivity, here are some questions about what you've built in the context of that experience:

1. I think (as you mentioned) "number of commits" or "number of pull requests" merged are proxies for productivity at best. Most teams that I've seen care more about "are the tasks for the epic being chipped down" - is that something your tool can help estimate as well? The progress bar for the epic? It'd be nice to get a table of the metrics and where they come from.

2. In the same vein, "scrum with epics" might not always be how teams decide on units of work, do you support other methodologies?

3. You mention deployment frequency a lot, but that seems tangent to developer productivity - Isn't getting things deployed quickly mostly for the benefit of the product folks? (getting feedback faster)

4. How does maintenance work fit into this? Does a developer who spends most of their time refactoring show up with "worse metrics" than someone pushing copy changes to the landing page?

After being introduced to Christopher Alexander's conception of life* through his The Nature of Order textbooks (so verbose...), it's brought a clarity to existence I've found otherwise lacking from other quarters.

Simply put, every thing (and grouping of things up and down the scale of size) is more or less alive depending on the order / configuration within itself and in relation to the things surrounding it. So a door can be more or less alive, taken by itself or taken in context of the wall, floor, and ceiling around it (and so on). Or compare a city with no sidewalks, completely paved with concrete, all buildings identical, square grid streets, no plant life whatsoever to some of the great cities in Europe which organically grew according to the needs of the populace over time. Can't you say one is literally more alive than the other, both the physical city itself as well as its inhabitants?

Since adopting this perspective, I've been able to make great strides in improving the order of my home which has resulted in an increase in well-being and mental health. The house is more alive and so I'm more alive for it, and vice versa, and so the positive feedback cycle continues.

> Your unit test suite should also be able to catch all these things with the right assertions.

A type system lets you precisely define the structure of your objects in the same language. It's a kind of documentation of implicit information that forces you to keep it up to date and write the annotations in a standardised way. It doesn't replace tests, but it is more precise, compact and you get near instant feedback after every modification of the code. The additional transpiling step might seem like a delay, but only if you don't consider the time saved by the type checker.

When working with other developers it's also useful and gives me the structure of all their objects at a glance.

And for me writing unit tests is pretty much one of the most boring and cumbersome part of development, second only to things like reading documentation in an attempt to figure out why that one DB installation is now malfunctioning since I pushed a commit in a different project during full moon. The fewer tests I have to write the better.
