> Then by your standards, a state would be just as artificial.

Indeed it would be.

> And since a people precede a state, so to do their rights to own property.

Except that the concept of private land ownership without a state has yet to be demonstrated, specifically because said private land ownership is wholly a function of the state.

> If one owns land, no one else has any right to life or liberty with respect to it.

Says who? There's a reason why the rights to "life, liberty, and property" are in that order: property is meaningless without life and liberty, and liberty is in turn meaningless without life.

And further, because the state - like the notion of land ownership - is artificial, your ownership of land is at the mercy of those fellow members of society and their collective conjuring of the state - and its powers to enforce ownership over imaginary concepts like parcel boundaries - into existence. That said society happens to currently tolerate your exclusive claim on some parcel of land (without receiving anything even remotely resembling reciprocal compensation for the incurred opportunity costs) is a privilege, and one which can be revoked when it conflicts with the rights to life and liberty.

> Ownership is not a power that comes with the prima facie existence of a state.

With respect to land, unless you live in Bir Tawil or have decided to invest in deep sea and deep space real estate, said ownership quite literally is a power that comes with the prima facie existence of a state. That the state itself exists (ostensibly) as an action of the people it governs doesn't change the fact that your "ownership" of land is more of a lease, and that a superior landlord - the state - continues to exist.

If you disagree, then you're encouraged to brush up on your understanding of the difference between "fee simple" and "allodial" titles - hint: if you own land in a common law jurisdiction like the US, your land is almost certainly under the former kind of title, not the latter.

This isn't strictly true. Most SO traffic is logged out, most doesn't require strictly consistent data, most can be cached at the CDN. This means most page views should never reach their servers.

This is obviously a great design! Caching at the CDN is brilliant. But there are a lot of services that can't be built like this.

Having worked on a solar car as a student project, solar panels on a car are at best a marketing gimmick. There's definitely not enough area on a car to power a car anyone wants to drive, even under ideal conditions at a reasonable duty cycle, and issues of shading are even worse for a car than a stationary panel. Also solar panels are fragile and encapsulating them so that they are robust enough to be on the exterior of a car costs substantial weight. Putting solar panels on the car is only slightly better than putting them on the road surface.

If the car is decent as a plug-in electric car, then it still may be worth getting. If the solar panels are sufficiently non-intrusive they may even be close to neutral in terms of the utility of the car, but they do not improve it.

Cool tech!
You don't have to stand there and do nothing when beans or a lot of foods are on a stove.

Plus, I don't get the fascination of cooking "single" portions the last decade. The amount of time it takes to cook one portion of nearly everything, you can knock out 4-8 in the same 30-40 min time span. Leftovers next day, lunch or freeze it for a little while. You spent $3/serving and you technically saved more time in the long run and hassle just because you learned to utilize the whole pan instead of a small corner.

The question I have is: why on Earth is Go loading a function argument from the stack on x86_64 and RISC-V? Both normally pass the first six or eight function arguments in registers.

Certainly, Go (or any other language) is entitled to use a non-standard ABI for functions used internally, but why use an old fashioned inefficient one?

The nose is just somewhere for the front wheel to go. Otherwise the driver has to step over it to mount the vehicle. The VW looks like it's considerably higher off the ground which means more stepping up and stepping down, hundreds of times a day. You could put the wheel behind the cab, but that's terrible for manoeuvrability. It's better to have the wheels at the corners of the vehicle as much as possible.
Nah, running on production.

We already know there's a guaranteed loss on ICE braking. If that were the only difference between ICE and EV then I would totally agree with you...BUT

Cost/benefit analysis comparing ICE and EV changes wildly if the effective range of the vehicle is lower and the comparable fuel efficiency is not enough to justify the additional costs of EV.

These are fleet vehicles that get deployed all across the country, and they have to be serviced, moved, etc...I doubt the choice not to go EV was an oversight, considering that fleet has been one of the beachhead markets for alternative-energy vehicles.

Discussion last week https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26385374 (455 comments)
Interesting discussion evolving! Disclaimer: I am co-author of that paper as well.

That said: you may call it "suspicious" if the authors come to that conclusion, but on the same grounds it is likewise suspicious if the writer of a tool that has not excelled doubts the results :)

Let us rather look at facts - the benchmark is published and open, and actually similar figures have been reported by other, completely independent benchmarks. The paper has undergone tough scrutiny by 5 independent experts in the field before publication.

Doubting about the value of databases reminds me of the old times of COBOL vs SQL: "we don't need SQL data management". Incidentally, IT world since then has embraced databases of all kinds...and exactly arrays should be the big exception? That does not make sense. Tools will need to accept that there are other tools as well, and ideally discussion is merit-based.

"everyone who works with big array datasets already knows Python"...well, if the only tool you know is a hammer then...ya know. There are so many more worlds than just your comfort zone, python! Just think of R, for example.

PS: I am not questioning xarray - in projects we have used xarray as a frontend to rasdaman, and this combination works like a charm: python wrapper around scalability and federation, connected through the open OGC standards.

Learn things regardless whether you receive short-term rewards for them.

People saying "learn by doing" or "learn just-in-time" are essentially saying; only learn easy things that you receive immediate rewards. This results in shallow and high-supply knowledge.

The reason some knowledge is rare/valuable is precisely that it is impossible to learn from a short and immediate feedback/reward cycle.

This is the reason maths feels more difficult to learn than coding - there is no external reward. And why C is more difficult to learn than python.
I can confirm this, having tried implementing an ECMAscript interpreter. "I'll start with just my own knowledge and tutorials, then I'll only need to read the standard when something is ambiguous" will lead to many hours of rewriting code based on incorrect assumptions.

> The cost of paying someone too much over local market rate incurs obscene tax costs.

This is fascinating to me, do you have any examples of jurisdictions where this is the case?

Here in Germany the “taxes” (they’re technically mandatory insurances) than an employer will have to pay on top of the gross salary all have a salary cap, the largest one being around €85k. After that any increase in gross pay has no additional cost. Of course my personal tax rate might take a hike but that’s not the concern of my employer.
I actually love SMS 2FA ( And the rare few on HN ). It is the simplest form of 2FA that non-tech people will actually understand and use. Unless people want to argue 1FA is better than crappy 2FA.

SMS gets hatred especially in US because of how easy it is to socially engineer their way for SIM replacement or other SMS uses. Mostly because for unknown reason US has the absolute worst MNO in the world. In other places SMS replacement requires official forms to be filled as well as physical presence. It doesn't matter whether SMS is a form of 2FA of not, getting my SIM card without decent form of protection from Carrier is wrong in the first place.

And RCS doesn't seems / want / willing to replace SMS anytime soon. Carrier have little incentive to do so. It is backed by Google which means not everyone is on board including Apple. And GSMA has no intention to make a better SMS either.

It's one of those things where on rare occasion where it's applicable it really simplifies the code. Kind of like dynamically scoped variables.

It's been a while that I've hacked CL, but I remember method combinators being used in mixin-style programming[1].
A call-next-method is a simplification tool in that context, and it doesn't hard-couple your generic functions.
With concepts now in C++, I wouldn't be surprised to see a resurgence of template-mixins, and there it really helps to have some introspection into the partial ordering.

At the moment, the decision-making looks like a trolley-problem. You've set the trolley to move on the "let's vaccinate" track. You have a risk that there might be a person who suffers down those tracks. If you pull the lever to stop vaccinating, on its path on the other track, the covid trolley will smash into 20 people.

Because you will be held accountable for vaccination but not for progression of covid, you pull the lever to change tracks.

My rule of thumb is that a single processor core can handle about 100MB/s, if using the right software (and using the software right). For simple tasks, this kan be 200+ MB/s, if there is a lot of random access (both against memory and against storage), one can assume about 10k-100k IOPS per core.

For a 32 core processor, that means that it can process a data set of 100G in the order of 30 seconds. For some types of tasks, it can be slower, and if the processing is either light or something that lets you leverage specialized hardware (such as a GPU), it can be much faster. But if you start to take hours to process a dataset of this size (and you are not doing some kind of heavy math), you may want to look at your software stack before starting to scale out. Not only to save on hardware resources, but also because it may require less of your time to optimize a single node than to manage a cluster.

Yeah, the people who worship them seldom have an actual interest in science. What of it?

Julia is dynamically typed, but if the compiler can deduce the type of your expressions, it will usually generate specialized code that avoids dynamic dispatch. Getting rid of type instability (as it is called) is usually one of the first things I do when trying to optimize a Julia function.

The discussion about C++ lookup rules actually really reminded me of Julia, where functions are quite often overloaded and it is not always trivial to figure out which one should be called. For lack of a better source, there is something about that in this talk: https://youtu.be/TPuJsgyu87U?t=989
"Only" 6 5 higher mortality is huge excess mortality.

> Make a nuclear power plant factory and you can get those numbers way down.

Except we’ve never done that so we don’t know how big a scale we’d need to get costs down. In the absence of evidence, it’s entirely conceivable there isn’t enough economically recoverable uranium in the world for mass production of reactors to be cost effective.

Therefore the only cost estimate we can rely on is what we have actually managed thus far.

> Finally, cost probably isn't the right way to look at it. The issue at hand is mostly efficiency, where obviously the nuclear option wins handily.

I disagree with both of these claims. For the first: for most of my life, the argument against green power, the reason nothing changed, was always the cost. Make the solution cheap and the problem goes away all by itself.

For the second: so long as it is energy positive (EROI>>1, true for both), and the cost per unit is low (which you’re already dismissing), and you’re not resource constrained (we aren’t), I can’t see what other measure of efficiency matters much. The light-flux to electricity conversion efficiency? No more important than thermodynamic limits in a reactor heat engine. Resistive losses in transmission? I’ve just demonstrated that is irrelevant.

In the UK, we have letterboxes in our front doors. Nobody can drive up to them (mine is up two flights of steps!). So, last-yard post delivery is done on foot, and vehicles are used to deliver the postmen (and in urban areas, postmen will travel from the delivery office by foot or bicycle). The vehicles can thus be normal vans.

In the US, they have mailboxes on posts by the kerb. Postmen can drive right up to them to deliver the post. There, it makes sense to have specialist vehicles.

I suspect Sweden and Spain are like the UK, and not the US, in this respect.
