You're not wrong, but underfunded transit agencies taking on highly entrenched land use laws in order to build slightly more optimally kinda falls into the category of boiling the ocean. It's not something they control, let alone have any sort of influence over. But what they can control, they did, and for a red state, they have a pretty comprehensive and rapidly growing rail system that is quite enviable compared to much bluer cities like San Jose or Minneapolis.

It should also be noted that Calgary faced similar challenges to SLC, and they optimized for it in similar ways: optimizing for total system length and highest frequencies per dollar spent, and often developing suburban park and ride stations. And over the last 40 years, Calgary has become more dense as a result. It has become one of the highest ridership per mile systems in north america, better than any in the US, besting even a 125 year old line with significant subterranean sections right through the dense core of Boston.
Yeah, 3d-printed guns are essentially nonexistent in criminal hands today. (to the best of my knowledge)

In memory representation also tends to have some data structure overhead so 5GB compressed -> 50GB uncompressed -> 100-250GB as a data structure (seems 2-5x is pretty normal). It starts out seeming pretty innocuous but quickly explodes. In addition, some things like Drill can do some automatic indexing/metadata recording which can reduce the amount of data it needs to access
Sounds like it makes sense, but nope.

Currently winter is "normal time", and wasn't changed when DST was created.

DST just pushes the day later in summer. If you woke up at sunrise on the winter equinox, that means you woke up awhile after sunrise on the summer equinox, so I guess we are "saving that wasted sunlight" by waking up an hour early in the summer.
Speaking of that..

What I find interesting is that the more you travel for leasure and meet people from other countries. The more that you learn about different view points.

Also the more gross that identity politics and shamming practices over viewpoints becomes. I'm not saying that you should support people you don't agree with. But, there's a heck of a lot of other cultures that are at odds with what's going on.
Think of those as proof of concept. Imaginative types will come up with all sorts of interesting use cases. It is a pixel display on fabric, do whatever you want with it... pulse it to music, send notifications, just animate living textures...
I'd say the opposite. Adjusting the clock is more disruptive, because your schedule shifts anyway in relation to astronomical cycles. But besides that you also mess up the clock. So it's better to leave the clock alone and to adjust your schedule if you need to.

I did it and it's worked out pretty well. If you've ditched your major debts then you'd be in an even better position to manage the ups-and-downs of contracting, so I say go for it!

As is implied by .well-known/security.txt there is in fact a whole registry for such well known URIs living under the /.well-known/ path https://www.iana.org/assignments/well-known-uris/well-known-...

> Part of me thinks that the root index.html should have link or meta tags for any and all of these. HTTP headers would also work.

As it is, anything interested in MTA STS can get the associated well-known URL and everything else doesn't care. If we put that into index.html or every HTTP header then everybody is burdened even if they didn't care.

> Perhaps I'm missing some obvious reason for why we're still doing the .txt thing?

If there's a significant software stack in which you're more likely to get what you expected from foo.txt than from naming it just FOO or foo then unless there is also a significant stack in which foo.txt can't work you'd be crazy to insist on not having the extension.

The IETF and W3C do not have enforcement arms, so if they standardise something that's harder to get right, less people get it right, harming its adoption. Sometimes that's just the price you must pay for something that actually delivers on its intended purpose - but often it is not and you should look for the simplest thing that works.
I think part of it is the commenters belonging to a community that has some sort of shared understanding. Whether that be a political leaning, or a desire for respectful comments (HN to some degree), or a view that flame wars and insults aren't a problem (4chan).

Yes, the process is patented by them [1]. But they've been trying to commercialize it.

It just appears that if you're making something cheap and high-margin like ketchup and putting it into disposable plastic bottles, it's probably more cost-effective for you if the customer throws away an almost-empty bottle and buys a new one, than if you spend more on the fancy coating so the customer can get every drop.

There's always a POSSIBILITY that at least one of every extinct animal still survives. It's not PROBABLE for many of them.

But as pointed out, there's a lot of wilderness in Tasmania so it's definitely PROBABLE and POSSIBLE that there are still some alive.
This tail end expense is maybe the largest problem with nuclear power. Economic systems and corporate structures are not set up for this. The whole economy is used to things costing nothing at the end of their life, or nearly so.

Done with a car? Scrap it, strip it, recycle the recyclables, and toss the rest. Done with a building? Implode it and cart it away. Same goes for almost all other pieces of machinery and capital.

Done with a nuke? Now you have another cost almost as high as building it to begin with! It's like having to buy your car and then spend almost the same amount to un-buy it at the end of its life span.

Yes such things can be priced in, but it requires a tremendous amount of foresight and discipline. There is a constant temptation to cut corners on any cost that won't be incurred for a long time, especially if that time is beyond the term of a politician or the career of a corporate bureaucrat.

Done with a solar panel? Send it to a bulk electronics recycler. Done with a wind turbine? Scrap it like any other piece of heavy machinery.

There are other industries with non-trivial decommissioning costs, like chemicals, oil and gas, etc., but at least the time frame is reasonably short. Nuclear decommissioning costs drag on and on, theoretically many times longer than the plant's useful life span.
Why go to all this trouble for a worthless addition to your site? It’s obviously not profitable or productive - any startup would kill such a feature so why are you demanding low-margin businesses have to keep such features around forever and actively invest in moderating them?
Yeah, personally I don't think that platforming implies endorsing, but I can understand why a company would be concerned.
I worked with HIPAA and am married to a physician. What he claimed isn't possible is entirely possible.

You are allowed to follow patient. You are allowed to track outcomes.

If a patient isn't actually in actually in your care, there are HIPAA defined means for reviewing cases for quality control.
Well for one, EVERY source of energy we could use is carbon emission free. If you want rocket fuel (with carbon emissions), you basically have to FIND carbon dioxide to make the oxygen to burn with and the fuel. MOXIE is doing this on Perseverance.

That’s why SpaceX/Elon are doing carbon capture funding: it’s necessary in order to get your rockets and people back from Mars. Essential to make it viable to figure out how to not rely on our biosphere as there isn’t one there.

All probes designed to last longer than a few hours HAVE to use solar or nuclear. No point bringing fossil fuels with if there is no oxygen to burn it with.

It also forces a sort economy of resources. Every attempt is made to recycle air and water, packaging, even from human waste.
> There was several courses I had to complete to "graduate". Each of these were run by a real player who took their job WAY too seriously.

I found this kind of things very fascinating. Isn't immersion the ultimate goal of MMO games? Don't the designers want to create a full virtual world so that people can join and forget about real life for a couple of hours? In that perspective, maybe having terrefic graphics actually hurts the real objective. I'm not saying we should go back to MUD, but I'm saying that MMO development teams should invest more in world building.

Thank you for introducing such a great poster to me. This guy is a gold mine.

Your individual reductions in consumption are pointless here. If you just ceased to exist it would not meaningfully move the needle.

At this point we need hard societal pressure via laws to make any kind of statistical difference. I’d prefer someone be a hypocrite pushing for legislation to reduce emissions (e.g. Al Gore on a private jet) than someone who reduces locally and calls it good.

There are just too many people that don’t care for “local action” to stop the impending doom.

That article was funny. Business owners complaining they have to open up in the predawn? How does SBUX do it? The one down the street opens at 5 am. Construction men working in the dark for an hour? What do they want bankers hours? And schools having to open 30 minutes later, Imagine we give the kids 30 more minutes of sleep in the am. These days they are like factory workers waking up at 6 am to ride the bus and get to school for 8 am. Crazy.....

Changing the clock back and forth is unhealthy for everyone. We need to standardize on one time for our sanity and health. I use to prefer Standard time but now prefer DST, I don't know it just agrees with me more now that I am older. Lets try it again and see if anyone complains....
I don't find it unreasonable to ask website / BBS owner to be responsible for content on their website.

I realize the Cantillon Effect is more associated with fiat currencies, but I don't think that's what I was aiming for. Bitcoin itself is extremely volatile, and having that indirectly tied to the S&P index could cause problems when another massive crash occurs.

After seeing the after math in 2013 and 2017, I'm really spooked about how Bitcoin is being somewhat interwoven into index funds, and this trend could potentially continue as more institutional money gets on the gravy train.
The most effective thing is probably banding together to vote in politicians that will actually do something about climate change.

It’ll be at least another 8 years until the US does that (unless Biden ends up changing course), and that’s way past the point of no return for the planet.

Even if Biden isn’t reelected in 4 years, it will just mean we end up with an even more climate hostile president.

In the very short term, people should be protesting in the streets to end the filibuster, and then immediately fund primary challenges to any democrat the stands in the way of the green new deal.
It wouldn't be helpful in this case, but I've long thought that the US should create marine "national parks" in the coastal waters. Within those parks, no fishing would be allowed, and no motorized boats.

I don't necessarily know if this is relevant. Coinbase's custody business is a relatively small (but growing) branch mostly for institutions. Its consumer product is not driven by the fact that it is custodial, but by its function as a gateway between the crypto and fiat world. Where you ultimately put the crypto you acquire through them is entirely up to you, and in fact Coinbase does provide a non-custodial wallet product called Coinbase Wallet.

Very interesting!

I suspect you could make a very Haskell-like language that's also really fast, but you'd have to base it on linear types from the ground up, and make everything total by default. (Hide non-total parts behind some type 'tag' like we do with IO in current Haskell (and have something like unsafePerformPartial when you know your code is total, but can't convince the compiler).)

That way the compiler can be much more aggressive about making things strict.

Man, I'm glad others are dragging you here, but HIPAA, pay attention here, SPECIFICALLY CARVES OUT INFORMATION SHARING IN THE CLINICAL ENVIRONMENT BY PRACTIONERS.

It SPECIFICALLY calls out that practitioners are allowed to describe in detail the medically relevant information of their patient to other people in the course of providing healthcare. This is NOT what HIPAA prevents, and to say otherwise is to completely understand both its stated intent AND how it's practically implemented in the field.

If you are a boarder patient (in a gurney in the hallway because there are no rooms available), a nurse or doctor IS ALLOWED to ask you questions, document your answers, and discuss your case in said hallway.

Informal discussions still happen ALL THE TIME, but practitioners use a room number rather than a patient's name, and because that information isn't personally identifiable, it's HIPAA compliant.

ER staff... still visit their patients. What on earth are you even talking about? Doctors and nurses round, they chart, they discuss and plan with one another. They communicate freely.

While there have absolutely been rare cases where information hasn't been shared as timely as it should have been (when, say, a requesting facility was foreign to another facility, and so data sharing was limited, wrongly, in the name of HIPAA), the positives of the law, which STOP a facility from just publishing your health data, or more importantly, prevent your health insurance company from broadcasting your data or selling it or using it for marketing purposes, is positive.

Patients should be able to receive quality healthcare without concern that their personal health history will be made public. HIPAA prevents the sharing of a patient's diagnosis or medical data without that patient's permission, which is how it should be.

But in terms of clinical outcomes, the hospitals still work. The nursing staff still works. And everyone knows damn sure they shouldn't be discussing a patient's name outside of work, or posting a case on the 'gram.

I think they are saying that your actions might make you feel better, but have no practical value.
Probably because they are a billion dollar mature company. Every company was a startup at some point but at some point they are a mature company that shouldn’t be called startup anymore. Stripe is certainly one of them.
> It must be far less than is needed for mining the uranium needed to generate the same power. Think about it; the copper required for the wind turbines is a fixed one-off cost that lasts the lifetime of the turbine, and can be recycled. Nuclear reactors need a continual supply of uranium (about 27 tonnes per year for a 1GWe reactor: http://bit.ly/3voR0II).

A single wind turbine can contain 3.6 tons of copper[1], so using your source for uranium used by a nuclear power plant in one year. Just seven and a half wind turbines use as much copper as a nuclear power plant uses uranium in one year.

If you replaced the ~100GW of nuclear power capacity in the United States you would need about 360,000 tons of copper. It would take the current US nuclear fleet ~133 years to use the equivalent amount of uranium. The above also assumes that wind turbines runs at 100% capacity which we all know they won't. So your going to need an additional 2 - 4 times more turbines and copper to replace the current US nuclear fleet.

> Furthermore copper concentrations are typically around 100 times higher than uranium concentrations, which means you need far more uranium ore than copper ore to produce the same weight of metal. Copper has been extracted with relative ease for thousands of years.

Also copper concentrations in typical copper ore is not 100 time greater than uranium concentrations. Copper concentrations are about 0.6%[2] and uranium is 0.1% - 0.2%[3].

Ouch. I get that client images that are not paid to be backed up to a different data center are lost and it's not their responsibility. But Veeam between data centers also not recoverable. That's really bad.
I agree. I remember years ago a friend of mine was found dead (took his own life) and a local news site reported it and had a comment section.

It was beyond horrible. People were commenting about how glad they were that this person they *didn’t even know* was gone. “One fewer idiot” type of comments. It was one of those things where it was so bad you didn’t want to look away.

The moderation was non-existent.

I just don’t get why a website would want to harbor a community that toxic.
That’s a weird argument to make. When people care about “the environment” they usually mean something like “keep the planet pleasant for humans”. Sure the humanity can commit collective sacrificial suicide to “preserve the environment”, but to what end? The cockroaches will do just fine either way.
I have so much nostalgia for things like print magazines. "Mad" was great when I was young. Maybe I wouldn't enjoy it much anymore - it feels like the endless onslaught of memes and webcomics fill this slot for me.

And yet, print magazines are still available. I will pick up a new issue of "2600" every once in a great while if I'm at a B&N and it catches my eye.

Congratulations to Jaffee, and to "Mad".
The websites should work without that stuff.
Chase did something recently where they blacklisted browsers, its just another case of "Whats old is new again" in terms of bad software development.
How doable is it to compile the data from all startups instead of just from YC?

I feel like this data should be one of the most important aspect of choosing a tech stack. Even though it’s hard to infer the data because there’s years of delay between inital tech stack choice and the success of the startup.
No one called you a fascist. But you clearly hold views identical to Le Pen. Comparing how you justified continued sending settlers to "overseas" France and how the same steps were justified for pre-independence Algeria is perfectly valid and honest.

Moral would be not killing other humans for power, resources, etc. I'm comfortable with my beliefs, and I understand your position as well. I personally understand the need for a military, but there are some weapons I wouldn't have been comfortable using when I was a military officer. Luckily, I have no part in those decisions today and I can share my beliefs without any risk to anyone else, "enemy" or otherwise.

With comments, they could have become facebook. They still can become facebook by offering comments, letting their readers create profiles and expand from there.

Newspapers aren't swimming in money because they don't go all in on online content. Moderating comments, choosing information for their readers, that's their core competence. Writing articles or printing is secondary.
Yep, I think net neutrality should solve the ISP and hosting problems (you can self host out of your basement). Domain registrars are harder; can we get net neutrality to apply to them?

From the videos I've seen of this kind of EL wiring, you're doing a diservice to electricsheep if you're saying this kind of thing can generate the graphics quality of sheep. It is funny(coincidentally) as I have the AppleTV 4k ElectriSheep running on my TV while reading HN and listening to choons. The stuff in this article can't hold a candle to it.

EL stuff has been around for awhile. The one thing this particular post makes impressive is the sheer size of it working. As soon as Lady Ada brings out these kind of rolls, then we might see some cool monochrome environmental input animations. What I'd love to see is a durable fabric with individualy addressable LEDs woven within that is as durable and washable. Then, maybe we can see some sheeps on clothing.

Until then, https://spacetribe.com/
Better to sing on a sinking ship than to die frustrated, angry and victimized.

There is grace in fighting against impending doom.

Life can be measured by how we approach things. Never lose hope. :)
I don't know that I entirely agree. The old Internet isn't gone, I spend more time at a couple topic-specific vBulletin forums than I do on HN or Reddit. The only aspect that might be better is the subtopic division. But I'm not entirely convinced about that, either.
