There is always a shortage of electricity. Someone could always use more if it were free to do so. Economics is the study of the allocation of resources in the face of scarcity -- that is, all allocation of resources except perhaps breathable air. There's no need for a euphemism here because limitations on the consumption of energy are ever-present -- demand shaping is simply about making the signal stronger.
In this spirit, I really like this disclaimer from the conclusion of a preprint on the arXiv [1]:

> This paper is not intended for journal publication. Therefore, it lacks
the delusional claims typically found in published papers about its
(simultaneous) relevance to drug design, nanoelectronics, photonics,
spintronics or any other fashionable application. Also, everyone can
sleep at peace without worrying about missed citations and their h-index
(and without e-mailing me to complain about them).

I use

git push

and that deploys my static site, which I think counts as "Heroku but even easier".

For this to work, in the bare repo I push to, over ssh, the post-update hook automatically pulls into a non-bare repo:

#!/bin/sh
set -e

echo -n 'updating... '
git update-server-info
echo 'done. going to foo'
cd /home/bar/public_html/absolute/path/of/a/non/bare/clone
echo -n 'pulling... '
env -u GIT_DIR git pull
echo -n 'updating... '
env -u GIT_DIR git update-server-info
echo 'done.'

You can use rsync too, but I think Git is substantially better for this kind of thing.

Now of course this assumes that you already have a server machine somewhere, which you can ssh into, which is running a web server, and which is already in DNS. I've been in that situation for 26 years now, except that at first I used telnet. So I kind of take it for granted.

It sounds like maybe you're looking for a way to not run your own web server process, instead sharing the burden with other people, like a PHP shared host from 15 years ago. If that's what you want, maybe you should share the server with a few friends? Like, two to eight? That way you don't have to give up the ability to solve whatever problems come up with the server.
I don't know man, I don't think the coderpad thing should be your litmus test. Would looking at their github and talking over something they've written suffice? Why not? I get too nervous to code in front of someone on coderpad. It sucks, my mind goes blank. But otherwise I'm a pretty goddamn productive programmer. I've interviewed with a lot of places and the only place I could get traction with agreed to forgo the coderpad and just look my github projects over. Everyone else loved me from talking to me but were dumbfounded when the coderpad shit came up. I feel like I'm kind of fucked in this field I've worked incredibly hard for the past decade in.
That’s the point of a hardware wallet: nothing goes out of it. So no machine can read the private data from it.

Just like a smartcard (like a yubikey).
I'm mostly concerned about visualization, so if you have actions/guards that don't appear on the visualization, that doesn't help me. Similarly, by recursion I meant putting states inside states (from a behavior perspective you would call them compound states); Both PlantUML and XState supports that.

Parallel states [1] are compound states with multiple distinct regions, where each region transitions separately. It does not necessarily imply threading on the programming side, it might just be multiple separate actors. Both PlantUML and XState support them.

One weird thing I notice living here in Japan are how practically everywhere you go there seems to be old people doing useless jobs presumably just to provide dignity - I don’t know the particulars on why that bank is hiring someone to stand all day saying “welcome” to anyone who passes through the door, or the elderly men on construction sites that bow at all who pass, but maybe it’s not as crazy as one thinks.
Isn't demand shaping things like discounts during certain periods? My electricity provider lets me set a 'free hour of power' every day, as long as that hour is off peak.
robots.txt is not a terms of service. Even if it was, it wouldn't be enforceable for a public website. You would need to prove that a web crawler is maliciously causing disruption to your service, and that is not easy.

“ My research leads me inescapably to the opinion that the major cause of the American Negro's intellectual and social deficits is hereditary and racially genetic in origin and, thus, not remediable to a major degree by practical improvements in the environment.”

Shockley was a candidate for the Republican nomination in the 1982 United States Senate election in California. He ran on a single-issue platform of highlighting the "dysgenic threat"

Shockley's name was not on any of these patent applications. This angered Shockley, who thought his name should also be on the patents because the work was based on his field effect idea. He even made efforts to have the patent written only in his name, and told Bardeen and Brattain of his intentions.

Some context for the kinda. I’m not impressed much by a guy who can crank out papers and be important in post-WW2 U.S. I have no idea what qualifies as great scientist here. Seems more like you have some “scientist’s legacy ruined by him being a bit of a jerk” angle.
There are rarely shortages of electricity in the US. There were some in California during Covid, and the state had to do rolling blackouts. But no, there are rarely shortages of electricity.

Yes, someone could use more of it than we could supply. But they don't. The existing supply is sufficient to meet demand. And when demand changes, we are capable of increasing supply.
When you add in "responsibility" like that, it becomes very vague. What does it mean for a company to have morally transgressed? Does it mean that it has violated its conscience, or does it just mean that it's an unfortunate behavior we would do best to punish?

Companies are inert objects. They do not have consciences. I can't say that a company does an evil thing, any more than I can blame a rock someone else threw for hitting my head. It hurts, but I can't very well blame the rock for it. Companies are just like driftwood in the ocean; their motion is defined solely by the forces acting upon them.

What is left, then, is to suggest that society should go after the companies that don't do what we want. But this can never be done by individuals. It has to be done by unions, governments, or something of the sort. It cannot be done by the companies themselves, and it cannot be done by individuals.

When you suggest that companies are doing something wrong, and not the government for failing to regulate them, this is tantamount to suggesting that the responsibility for punishing them actually lay on the individual. But to do so makes the primary victim into the perpetrator of the aggression against him. It is a terrible thing to do.
Nope. We went pro se due to the racket - the maximum fine is less than the cost to hire a lawyer. Who would think that a 'justice' system would financially punish an innocent person more than a guilty one?

There are actually two scenes in Good Fellas that explain it perfectly. That the mob fills the role of the police in providing protection to those who cannot go to the police. And the classic "fuck you, pay me" scene. We violated your rights? Fuck you, pay me. You're innocent (not that they treat you that way)? Fuck you, pay me. The charge lacks probable cause? Fuck you, pay me.
But if you don’t have that trusted connection already, there is no reason to keep paying a service for not sending someone over.
> Union contracts are employer specific (and in some cases, facility specific), and if the Tesla factory workers unionized, they could negotiate for stock grants

If it was my factory, I would cut the stock grant and fire them all - unionized or not - to end a clear message to the other factories: "you only have one job, while I have more than one factory"

AND they were generated via secure hardware? or did he just spin up a new key on an already compromised machine?
Yes, those incentives exist to try and shape demand. But in practice, people rarely take advantage of them. And some things really can't be shaped. The pumps that deliver your water cannot have their demand shaped, unless you're willing to go without running water for some hours of the day.

That’s a problem if you’re an island isolated from everyone else, and you don’t have geothermal, hydroelectric, or nuclear options. The better question is how much capacity you’d need on a national grid to be able to handle large regional sags in production without endangering people.

As we recently saw with Texas’ catastrophic fossil fuel production failures the big problem is not the source but poor management and not being able to get help from the neighbors.
That's why it's called 'bio-hacking'. Implicit in the name is the assumption that you can have the benefits of something without the natural drawbacks.

Would your ranking change if you assumed you'd be running Jekyll and deploying to Github pages?
My guess would be persistence in other parts of their network used to get the credentials of that developer in some way. Perhaps some internal webapp; perhaps credential reuse with some other system; perhaps malware installed in some development tool or script that the developer would pull from some other company system and run on their machine. Perhaps even phishing, which is much more likely to succeed if you have compromised some actual coworkers' machine and can send the malware through whatever messaging system you use internally.
That's lithium batteries, isn't it? For storage to balance out fluctuations in renewable sources you shouldn't need to use lithium.

It's used in cars and consumer devices because it can store a lot of energy for its size and weight and you don't have to mollycoddle it to avoid memory effects.

Those are much less important concerns for this application. You'd build you battery facilities somewhere outside your cities, perhaps near where you build your solar farms, and you don't need the batteries to move. Batteries that take up more room and/or weigh more than lithium batteries for a given capacity should be fine.
Granted, even ABI-stability to some extend is difficult.
I remember that I have some cheap wifi adapters that aren't supported by in-tree code, but came with a CD (small diameter) that had the SDK on it.
This was unfortunately for the old timespec or w/e the exact struct is called, and I could have ported it to use the new API, especially considering that there are in-tree and/or up-to-date versions for closely related chips, but honestly the lack of easily-accessible tooling for that discouraged me from doing so.

The reason I got them initially is that, some about 2.5y back, they were sold on Aliexpress for 3.50 EUR (~5$) and could do dual-band with at least 40 MHz channels, iirc maybe even 80 MHz on 5GHz. They are just tiny USB-A dongles with a USB 2.0 HighSpeed host interface, but they could do station/softAP/station+softAP, obviously restricted to a single channel.

There's a related issue of a rtl8812-au or rtl8821-au (or compatible) stick (Edimax EW-7822UAC) I got before that, with a USB 3.0 SuperSpeed host interface, intended for trying out a remote radio head point-to-point configuration using polarization-duplex with a recycled satellite-TV dish on each end, as it could do AP-mode on 80 MHz wide channels in the 5 GHz band on Linux, with a 867 Mbit/s link rate (assuming full polarization multiplexing based on the stick's 2x2 MIMO and a circular polarizing feed antenna).
Maybe he has no plans to offer stock because such incentives don't really work when your labor supply is captured by a monopoly.
Let me introduce you to flow batteries. Lithium is a terrible choice for grid scale storage, except maybe as a secondary use of idle EVs.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_battery
I agree entirely. I chose the 1 hour of storage as a number because I had to say something, and I didn't want to go to low as it would undoubtedly knee jerk responses of "that's not enough, you need X hours".

The main point I was going for is that we shouldn't think of a national network in the same way as we think of a off grid house with solar, where you have to deal with many hours without sunlight, and have storage capacity for several days of rain.

In a similar vein, the intermittency of solar and wind look bad when you look at isolated generation instances, but when you have a continent spanning network, the intermittency is reduced as the wind is always blowing somewhere, and the sun is shining for many more hours than when you look at any single point on map.

Again, I would love to see the numbers if you were plan out a realistic build out of this ideal network. It would probably be a pretty big number, but how would it compare to building out with nuclear, or even just lots of coal power plants from scratch.

Turning India over to the mob, video by video
Based on price versus odometer, it seems to me that the smart play is to buy a car with about 80 or 90 thousand miles on it, put another 20 thousand on it, and then sell for about the same price you paid. The buyer of a lower mileage vehicle pays a premium, while the buyer of a higher mileage vehicle has the experience of driving an older car with about the same ability to resell it later.
From experience, surprisingly, no. It helps if you do it occasionally but when done regularly and at high doses, I ended up just getting cracked out and becoming.. for lack of a better word, kind of crazy.

They are good for essays though.
to everyone saying it's someone the nephew knew that stole the crypto, it can't be, right? because OP confirmed the thief's address had transactions from other addresses, so this seems like a remote adversary.

i'm very sorry to hear he lost $40k, especially because he was saving it for college... i can't even imagine that much money being a student so i just hope you guys can find some way to work this out... i guess.

that said, i don't think Ledger's security is to blame here... it is infinitely more likely that your nephew's computer was infected with something. for example, if he kept his trust wallet passphrase as a screenshot, perhaps that screenshot synched via iCloud to his PC, from which point the attacker was able to pick it up? or they were able to retrieve his iCloud session cookie?

there are a million times more entry vectors if you consider the PC (or, hell, Mac, or whatever it is) as the infected device. i'd wipe the shit out of it and start fresh, if your nephew intends to do anything else with crypto in the future.
Sounds like something that should be investigated by the relevant authorities, esp. if there are multiple people affected.

In the abstract I would agree, but there are degrees of offense before firing someone -- I would imagine I would not be fired for doing same when organizing who to invite or not invite if I was organizing a poker game ("invite anyone, except this guy"). So the actions here seem quite harsh and retaliatory. I haven't read the NLRB's report, but my thoughts are similar to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26598779
Shame on "Ms. Affirmative Action" at Harvard for "punishing" Martin Nowak with only two years of probation.

Nowak aided and abetted a convicted child rapist by conspiring with fellow accused child molester and Epstein best buddy Alan "Dershbag" Dershowitz to help Mr. Epstein evade prosecution on pending federal racketeering charges in exchange for hundreds of millions of dollars in donations to Harvard from Epstein's estimated $500 million estate, that was laundered in part through other members of Mr. Epstein's billionaire child sex-trafficking ring that included Les Wexner, Leon Black, and Glenn Dubin.

Hopefully there are a few like-minded students at Harvard that will keep the pressure on their university's administration like these brave souls over at MIT are doing:

https://thetech.com/2021/02/25/mit-administration-epstein-op...

As for the punishment that Claudine Gay now deserves, that's a difficult one to decide. But if she has a daughter that is around the same age as any of the girls that Mr. Epstein abused on "Pedophile Isle," and like Alan Dershowitz, she believes that the age of consent should be lowered to 14 so middle-age guys can "partake of the forbidden fruit," as he likes to call it, maybe her daughter needs to be sent over to spend the night ... with Richard Stallman!

Anybody using S3 static hosting? How does that compare to some of these others, specifically on price?
It adds complexity in infrastructure and becomes a separate translation layer. I haven’t run a presto deployment, but have worked adjacent to it, I do think it brings advantages. But a lot of client side ‘whatevers’ connect to a lot of different database/storage technologies already, adding another complex layer to the mix might not be worth it.
I am very well aware, I've made the "real thing" at least 100 times.

I very rarely have enough cheese in my house for mac and cheese, especially the right kind of cheese. If I want to make it from scratch I have to plan ahead. However, I always, always, always have butter and (oat) milk in the house though, 24/7, so boxed mac and cheese is always an option.

I still strongly prefer the taste of boxed, it's simply amazing in an indescribable way.

Can you give us more reason as to why you're 100% sure the paper was not accessed? You don't need to tell us where it is/was, but your extreme certainty in that fact seems greater than the certainty I have about almost anything in my life.

Another possibility no one has mentioned yet: is it possible your nephew is lying? Perhaps he "stole" the cryptocurrency from himself, and went to his relative hoping they might give him pity money to get him back on his feet? Just a wild guess.
For what it’s worth the worst toilet paper shortages were because home use increased dramatically and business use distribution wasn’t readily adaptable to that kind of market or distribution.

Your first point is spot-on.

But about the rest...the Ledger's wallet's seed words were on paper, never seen by a computer after it was generated.

His Trust Wallet, however, did have his seed words on his phone. But again, it has a 6-digit passcode.

One way to look at this is how long it would take to read the whole drive with a serial stream of 4kB random reads. The 1980s drive would take about 3 minutes. The SSD would take around 8 hours. The modern hard drive would take about 10 months. It's not a surprise to anybody that small random IOs are slow, but maybe not how slow. It's a problem that's getting exponentially worse.

> What's even more incredible to me is that the researcher somehow recreated exactly the same / correct traffic pattern on their local testing setup, so that they were able to compare the traffic with the production environment to detect that there was a problem.

Yeah, that's another thing that has me confused, but I figured one thing at a time...

Thanks for the response, that pre-set PII flag does sound plausible, though it's odd that they'd never mention it and mention a 'four-tuple' instead (sounds like they're trying to use terms not everyone knows? Idk, maybe it's more well-known than it seems to me).
I have the transfer-to addresses. The thief has done this multiple times...for 7.5 BTC too, in one instance. He's not lying and has never been known to lie.

I'm sure in the same way you can be sure that if you were tasked with doing the same thing, you'll feel 100% confident that no one would be able to access that paper. And even if they did, they wouldn't know what they were looking at.
