> Union contracts are employer specific (and in some cases, facility specific), and if the Tesla factory workers unionized, they could negotiate for stock grants.

This is true in the US, but it's not true in other countries which learned from our mistakes and implemented wage boards/sectoral bargaining, where a union contract applies to an entire industry at once. This makes the employer less likely to feel they're becoming uncompetitive by accepting the union, which is good since in the past they tended to react by having all their employees killed by the Pinkertons.

After centuries of philosophical and political hand wringing about the fall of Rome, it would be funny if it was caused by a natural event.

Rome was already in decline, but without this it would likely have been more gradual.
That looks to be someone presenting their opinion—not a statement of fact. Ironically, too, considering the guidelines they link guides users to not do what they're doing.

Except that it isn't.

Only the domain, and to some extend, the S3 costs are the "fixed" cost that you can even predict at first. A surge in traffic will surely increase the egress data, and that is easily $0.05-0.10 per GB.

Cloudfront is one of the most expensive CDNs out there, and after 2-3 years of use, I came to realize how much I was wasting money on. CDNs often work quite flawlessly if you have a good cache busting mechanism, and I was paying a huge premium for what was essentially a set-once operation.

Even more impressive for Euler. Most (not all) of Erdos work is considered of very limited quality, a little better than solving quirky problems in number theory or combinatorics. Euler on the other hand is a class on his own.

Just look at this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_things_named_after_Leo...

And as mentioned in the article and known by every mathematician there is a long list of things that were discovered by Euler but were named by the first person who re-discovered/popularized them after him.
AFAIK the seed phrase is randomly generated when you initialize the wallet.

Basically everything you wrote about GitHub Pages is wrong.

GitHub Pages is static hosting. If you don’t need Jekyll, don’t use it. There’s nothing special about it.

GitHub Pages does NOT charge for custom domains.

You can configure any branch for GitHub Pages, or even just the /docs folder on the main branch.

I think that has more to do with Walmart than being a greeter. There are plenty of high end luxury shops where there is a well groomed man or woman at the front door who does nothing but greet you and open the door.
It sounds like a heresy nowadays, but I think in order for society to be comfortable, there needs to be a strong feedback loop between reward (getting paid, getting promoted, getting attention from others) and doing something that others would willingly buy.

I am pretty convinced that a lot of the tensions in our society are caused by the fact that many of the things we need on a daily basis are produced by corporations where the feedback already is massively diluted by the time it reaches individual replaceable instruction-following workers. Just paying people for doing nothing would only make it worse. Since people wouldn't see a way to feel recognized by mindfully creating something others need, they will look for other means of getting recognition. And in the current climate most of these ways are very divisive, since they involve forcibly taking something from another person (or forcing topics into their attention) rather than producing something others would want to buy.

The tensions accelerated drastically when the COVID bailouts started and they will only get worse until we get most of the people back on track of putting their mind into producing value for others. Except, we would need to actually start enforcing antitrust and let a few behemoths crash to make that happen.

it's so miserably brutal to come into the comments of any article on hn where wealthy people (engineers) bandy about about working class people. i don't have much else to say because i'm not going to debate whether ___ tech company, at some (even nontrivial) cost to their equity holders, should help support people that make minimum wage. i'm only leaving this comment so that some can reflect on their position.
I believe there is a lot of hidden fight behind the scenes for Google to monopolize the web.

There are a lot of expectations from the public that Google maintains. Apart from delivering the best search results, they have to respect robots.txt, limit crawling frequency, deliver search results really fast, etc.

At the same time, lots of people want to game Google and spam search results so they can make money with ads. The competition is not fair at all - the websites can tell which traffic came from GoogleBot and craft legitimate responses while Google is not allowed to publicly crawl the website with a fake User Agent.

Many websites are concerned about their data being crawled (like Amazon, they certainly wouldn't be happy if all their price information is dumped as a database), and Google has to make sure that no robot can crawl too much of a website by automatically searching Google, and to that end they invented reCATPCHA.

It's not easy at all to build a search engine that behaves responsibly both to websites and to users. It's the ability to deal with all these matters really well that gives Google the monopoly power.
The likelihood that the UAW would roll in, start collecting dues and then do nothing with the comp structure seems extremely small.
Yes, sorry, I think I got the numbers wrong by a factor of ten. Most seem to use two or three 100 watt panels. So 300 watts is what they are getting in total for most of these build outs. But they usually leave space for fans. So I think absolute max might be something closer to double that.
So can you answer with this correction?

LOL. Hydrogen storage is much more invented than seawater uranium extraction. All the components are close to off the shelf; it's just a matter of putting them together (and for the CO2 tax to be high enough to make it worthwhile).

Seawater uranium extraction is at a much lower TRL (technology readiness level).

This is an excellent example of your hypocritical double standards on this subject.
This definitely rings true.

But I'd say it's not a feature of governments only, any sufficiently big organisation which centralise power ends up being like this. That's why large corporates need nimble startups to innovate: startups either innovate or die.

The government is just the largest example of this phenomenon - and they don't have any analogue for startups, they're just doomed to grow larger and larger over centuries until they collapse.

Look at the USA, once the perfect minarchist experiment and now the largest employer in the world.
I retired in 2017 but I worked for a large company that rented an entire 18-story building and many floors of neighboring buildings. Like many buildings it had a card, candy, snack shop not owned by the company. Also, in the multi-level parking garage there was corner rented out to a car detailing place. These people aren't even covered by the company itself, they were remoras on the shark. When the pandemic hit and the building cleared out, I thought about these businesses and how they're basically wiped out.
Minus the bundle deals, it sounds like you're describing iPhone.
let’s talk numbers. how much egress traffic would you have?

at 10GB per month you pay 0.8$/month
yes the traffic it costs extra, but a static website should not be GB (or even MB) in size.
Also, if you have a lot of traffic you should learn how to control the caching aspect.

i would also challenge you to look at what egress traffic costs in other places.
Drive prices followed a trend so well in the 1980s and 90s that I wrote a javascript based web page to predict prices and it worked up to about 1996 or so.

Back up with turbines and an adequate hydrogen store and solar/wind are as reliable as you wish.

(EDIT: we are in violent agreement?)
I already know not going to find any sympathy on this site but the truth is that something that shocks me again and again is how everyone preaches battery storage without thinking about how dirty and polluting the process is to mine the materials and turn them into a finished battery product is.

How can people ignore this end of the lifecycle of lithium ion batteries? Is it just out of sight, out of mind?

Same with the solar panels. To install them at meaningful scale, do people not think about the amount of mining, manufacturing and energy it is going to take to make that many panels?

It seems even more absurd given the limited lifetime of both solutions.

Genuinely curious how proponents of this energy system square all of this.

Star ICs who went into management but can't leave tech could end up micromanaging or just being an aloof unhelpful resource.
Who pays for the shadow generation system that we keep perfectly maintained and ready to generate 100% of system demand on the 5 days stretch of cloudy windless days? This cost has to be added to the cost of building a 100% solar/wind system.

Nobody is arguing the solar and wind power isn’t cheap, but the cost of power on those cloudy windless weeks is going to be real high to make having all that standby generation around. It’s the cost to achieve the same reliability and 99% carbon free that is expensive.

Money is imaginary and global warming isn’t so let’s just print some bonds or move some numbers around in some database and build it all!

> The missing stars aren’t being gobbled up, as they might be by a black hole, Jerabkova said. Rather "the orbits of the stars in the Galaxy are being affected/changed by the encounter" which may cause them to disappear from view because of the "disruption of the cluster and the tails," she added.

Spooky. Kinda reminds me of the disaster scenarios entertained ahead of the LHC's completion -- namely false vacuum decay. Is the next LHC the Great Filter? Is this "dark matter monster" actually proof of intelligent life (or was it just two extremely energetic cosmic rays going bump in the night)? Well, I severely doubt it, but it's fun to ponder.

If it's dark matter, as they propose, does dark matter convert normal matter as they seem to imply? Weird time to be born in this universe. It's expanding so fast that the skies that the skies will eventually go dark, but no worries, dark matter is only 90% done eating luminous matter and hasn't lost its appetite yet. I was taught that entropy guarantees heat death of the universe, but this is way more exciting than that.

The industries that manipulate tens of millions of tons of hydrogen each year would be astounded to hear this statement of yours. What are those facilities made of, unobtainium?
For sure. I'm not saying the big tech cos necessarily ought to do what I have done. My just sharing my private decision.
Also internal company politics. What would fix much of this, for many projects, is a very experienced product person with final say over every feature, reporting directly to the CEO / board, and outranking everyone else in terms of decision making.
Unionizing Tesla would almost certainly not "accelerate the advent of sustainable transport". More likely cause it to wither and stagnate for the gain of a privileged few as we saw with GM et al.

All it takes is your company execs or lawyers to be afraid of a stern letter, and ask you to cancel your project. If you're violating their robots.txt, you're probably violating their terms of service that's hidden somewhere. And your company doesn't want to risk having to pay hundreds of thousands to fight a court case. There's also venues besides courts for them to attack you, like contacting the publishers or hosting platforms for your derivative works. It's a chilling effect.

And I'm not making this up. This kind of stuff has happened to me many times.

How good is the hiding place? Both in terms of security (eg. a rock outside your house vs a safe deposit box) and obscurity (eg. on your desk vs buried in a field in the middle of nowhere).
yeah like, imagine you build a 10 story apartment building, and one small portion of it has live mycelium that accidentally survived, or some weird manufacturing lemon/error... then 5 years later you have to tear down the building due to the mushroom infestation
Yeah. That's why replaceable battery is a good idea but they disappeared in the recent years.
I don't disagree, the paper talks about torques as opposed to steerage.

That said, apparently this particular ship has a couple of 60MWatt bow thrusters so presumably one would use that given it has an even better lever arm with respect to the CG than the props do.

> All of that said, a bigger problem was dumping goodwill of developers. WP7, WP8, and WM10 all had new frameworks for apps that were needed for new functionality and didn't work with prior Microsoft OSes; calling the WM10 one 'Universal' was darkly humorous.

I think this was somewhat overstated, since compatibility in the other direction was great. I wrote a WP7 app that worked fine across WP7/WP8/WM10 that I supported until MS pulled the plug entirely on the ecosystem.
In order to prove that discovering calculus got harder, you would obviously need to show that the population of people who could discover it but didn't have prior knowledge of it was at least as large as when it was discovered. In addition, in order for there to be published (or even submitted) papers, you would need those people to not only not have any prior knowledge but to not encourter anyone with a highschool understanding of calculus in the review and publishing process.

As that is equally obviously not the case, I repeat; that's not how that works.

I tried out vercel for the first time this week after Github pages failed to deploy an already built static site 30 mins before a demo. I took a gamble on vercel about 10 mins before I had to demo and it was running with a few minutes to spare, from starting sign up to having a live site - all free. I'm upgrading us today, because that was an exceptionally good experience. Thanks for making a simple product.
I love reading about workers unionizing and getting guaranteed pay through the end of the year. But it’s ass backwards that we question whether it’s fair to ask this of corporations. It’s great that some do. But we should expect government to provide services and care for its citizenry.

To be clear, at a time when I’m working from home with reduced cost of living (no commute, not really eating out, and reduced spending on entertainment), I want my tax dollars to go to to those who aren't able to do the same. Pay for these workers to take care of their kids’ needs without worry about what news is coming tomorrow.
Dude. You are falling back to the "if it isn't already being done, it can't be done" argument. Please stop this foolishness.

Hydrogen is being stored in a few places. That the storage isn't larger isn't because of any technical obstacles, it's because there's no reason to store it now. In particular, when we can burn natural gas without CO2 charges, using the hydrogen for energy storage is pointless.

This doesn't mean hydrogen CAN'T be stored, it just means the market conditions for widespread adoption of an off-the-self technology aren't there yet.

This article didn't bring up taxes. In the US taxes must be payed in USD, that means there will always be a demand for USD.
I don't know how taxes are handled if I want to buy a tesla, but I am guessing you have to pay Capitol gains tax plus sales tax. It seems like it might be good to hold some USD, even if Bitcoiners/anti-inflationist are right.
Bitcoiners like to think they are the only hedge against inflation out there. Currently, that is obviously silly, at best it is a spectulitive bet that one day it will be a hedge against inflation.

The other thing I hear bitcoiners say is there is going to be an event where the government tries to outlaw Bitcoin, but it will be too powerful by that point, but that also doesn't make sense to me. Any large purchase has to be registered(i.e. A house, a car, I think anything over 10k). So, if you buy a house/car and someone robs it, who are you gonna call?

How long till there is a list of people with unsecured assets online?

That brings up another incompatibility with Bitcoin and the people who tend to own it(liberitarians). Every transaction is traceable. Who hasn't bought something and not payed taxes? Those days are over. The government is going to be aware of every transaction and they will get there cut.

I see the government winning the battle, but if you live in a democracy/republic "YOU ARE THE GOVERNMENT" so make it a good one.

I'm pretty sure the language being referenced was Common Lisp, which supports multiple dispatch (in CLOS). In a multiple-dispatch OOP system methods can be specialized based on any argument—this is somewhat like ADL in C++ but more generalized. Ergo, a new implementation of 'user' can override or extend more generic versions of 'is_blocked'.
