I think that your recollection is incomplete or garbled. Modern solar panels are about 20% efficient. They can generate about 200 watts per square meter in midday sun with clear skies. 2000 to 3000 watts of panels would be about 10-15 square meters (107-161 square feet). Do these vans actually have roofs that large, completely covered with panels?

You might expect roof top panels with sub-optimal orientation to generate about 12.5% of their peak rating when averaged over a year. That would be 375 watts, annualized, from a system with a peak capacity of 3000 watts. There is no van-portable battery system currently on the market that can store 375 * 24 * 23 = 207,000 watt-hours. (For comparison, the Tesla Model S battery stores 100,000 watt-hours.)

My guess is that you are not correctly recalling how much solar capacity these vans have installed. When I Google for van life solar I get guides and kits referencing much less power.

For example, this guide:

https://www.genericvan.life/2018/04/30/complete-vanlife-sola...

uses a single 150 watt panel. Based on the photo the article includes, I don't think that the van rooftop has room for more than 3 panels of this type.
"tipping" culture strikes again! When the wage for certain service workers is too low, we try to subsidize it by tipping them. Now when the government doesn't provide enough coronavirus relief for service workers, some of us keep them on the payroll as a kind of cornavirus relief.

I wonder if the days of "digital" content is numbered (from a purely "speculative fiction" point of view)

As someone who consumes plenty of science fiction, I could easily imagine a sci-fi story that breaks information down into some epochs...

epoch 1, "analog": the incoming signal is the raw representation of the data, like grooves on a vinyl record or AM/FM radio

epoch 2, "digital": data is encoded in binary format, and possibly compressed

epoch 3 "???": you don't store the data itself, you store a neural network backed function that can reproduce the data in many different ways based on inputs. I.e. you don't store a video of a chair, you store a neural-net that can approximate the chair from any angle with any light source, PLUS you also store a "camera track" that can be used as a pre-defined input to get a preset "video". But at any time, the user can "unlink" the track and operate the "camera" as they choose.

yeah, the Ledger situation is still a mystery to me, and i can’t profess to know all that much about the security of the device.

i mean, humans make mistakes, and i suppose there is the chance that he slipped up at some point and typed it into his (probably) compromised computer at some point. but if i were take your word on it that that never happened... i really don’t know.

Eggs are usually refrigerated in Norwegian supermarkets. I usually keep them in the fridge at home too, but they usually keep a couple of months past the expiry date. When in doubt I just try the water trick before I fry it. I'm sure it would be safe to keep them in the pantry too, but we don't eat eggs that often, so I just put it in the fridge.
Trying to get my head around the meaning of "6.7x less effective". Does that just mean the effectiveness is divided by 6.7? IE, Pfizer vaccine goes from 94% to ~14% against P.1? If so, yikes.

Edit: Ah, should have read more closely. Those are decreases in "neutralizing activity in serum samples", but that doesn't correlate directly to decreased efficacy:

The clinical relevance of the lower neutralization activity for either mild or severe Covid-19 is not clear, but efficacy in clinical trials was lower for all three vaccines tested in the midst of transmission of the 501Y.V2 variant in South Africa than efficacy in trials conducted in countries with preexisting variants. Efficacy was higher by a factor of 3.2 with the AZD1222 vaccine in the United Kingdom and Brazil than in South Africa (70% vs. 22%), higher by a factor of 1.8 with the NVX-CoV237 vaccine in the United Kingdom than in South Africa (89% vs. 49%), and higher by a factor of 1.3 with the Ad26.COV2.S vaccine in the United States than in South Africa (72% vs. 57%).

They don't look incredibly similar. They have common features that are not seen in the vast majority of others, which tricks your brain into not looking at their other features. It's the same as thinking Han Chinese people or Irish people look incredibly similar.

So I’ve read through the comments, and I can see that you’re adamant the seed phrase isn’t the attach vector, but I’m going to be listing things down in order of what I see as being a rough probability, please don’t see any of this as accusatory in anyway - it’s more that I keep an eye on OpSec for crypto generally despite not being an expert.

First question; was the amount stored on the ledger stolen during a transaction? If so then he may have been exposed to the same targeted Metamask attack as experienced by an NXM founder https://medium.com/@hugh_karp/nxm-hack-update-72c5c017b48. This wouldn’t explain the BTC and LTC transactions though.

My collection of possibilities:

1. The seed phrase was exposed. Maybe not from your piece of paper, but perhaps it was saved onto a text file, jotted down into notes, captured somewhere else. I realise given the other comments you are likely to disregard this one, I get it, but it still seems to be the most likely from the outside looking in.

2. The computer used to make transactions was hacked, as per the Metamask hack above.

3. Your nephew got into trouble and needed money. I’m not saying he’s lying to you, but he could be trying to save face.

4. A device on his network got hacked and he was subjected to a pretty targeted attack which could have made false transactions on his behalf if he accepted the certificates on his device, maybe. Perhaps a worm on his computer propagated to his iPhone to read the trust key.

5. Both ledger, and Trust are compromised to remote attacks. This would mean someone has found a way to read the seed phrase from ledger and trust remotely and then dump the wallet entirely. This would also make him probably the first person in the world to face these vulnerabilities on both apps. Hopefully you can see why 1 & 3 seem more likely than this.

Not really, if you consider the source of these beliefs.

One group got their perspective from the cultural monopoly in media and academia.

Another group got their perspective from mainstream conservative media.

Another group got their perspective from social media trolls, charlatans, and grifters.

Another group got their perspective from cross-sectional media and/or social media.

There's some blending between groups, of course, but given the highly polarized nature of the last few months and years, they're mostly distinct.

As a cross-sectionalist, I believe that the extremity of all perspectives presented are hugely inaccurate.

Of course, this perspective is not welcomed here. In part because most that visit HN subscribe to the cultural monopoly's narrative, and in part because the general dislike of a highly abrasive, tactless, outspoken former president.

But, trying to be as unbiased as I can, I stand by a rejection of the extreme perspectives. I hope nobody feels offended by what I write here.

If you double your defences, you double the cost but advanced attackers still get what they want. "Ratchet up defences" does't mean simply doing things a bit more correctly, it requires you to hire many expensive people to do lots of things that you didn't do before. This article is a good example - the company as described seems to have a very good (and expensive) level of security already, the vast majority of companies are much less secure, and it still wasn't sufficient.

And if you increase your defences so much that you're actually somewhat protected from an advanced attacker, you're very, very far on the security vs usability tradeoff, to get there is an organization-wide effort that (unlike simple security basics/best practices) makes doing things more difficult and slows down your business. You do it only if you really have to, which is not the case for most organizations - as we can see from major breaches e.g. SolarWinds, the actual consequences of getting your systems owned are not that large, companies get some bad PR and some costs, but it seems that prevention would cost more and still would be likely to fail against a sufficiently determined attacker.
No, you have salt caverns with a volume sufficient to accommodate a lot of hydrogen. Actually implementing such a solution involves massive scale electrolysis, and either massive scales of oxidation cells or gas turbines designed to burn hydrogen. Neither of these things have been done at anything remotely close to the scale required to make renewables feasible.

Back in the 1950s people thought that nuclear power would be effectively free. But actually building it at scale exposed challenges of implementation that weren't foreseen. The cost of a system on paper and the cost after overcoming the challenges of actually building it are two very different things. For hydrogen storage, you only have the former.
Is the seed phrase on his trust wallet the same seed phrase as his ledger?
Source? I had no clue.
I think it might depend on the cheese you’re using! In my experience the roux makes a big difference. We use a blend of Gruyere, Fontina and Cheddar (in 1-2-2 proportion). The hard, soft, and middling textures mix best when they’re gently cooked together in our experience.

In the states most recipes will have you finish in a casserole dish with bread crumbs, but we find it actually tastes better if you skip that step, for whatever reason.

If anybody has suggestions on other cheeses to add/substitute in this mix I’m all ears!
> The average citizen in 200 years will be approximately 50 times wealthier than we are today

I wish I could share your optimism. If the current wealth gap trend is continuing, the future won't be much different than nowadays. It's even harder to buy a house and/or build it today than let's say 30 years ago.
When I was in high school in Montréal, waaay back in 1995, our French teacher would tell us “qui écrit, lit deux fois” (“the one who writes, reads twice”), as a motto to encourage us to copy the texts we read via handwriting, instead of really just reading. And I can attest that it works really well. I remember a lot more when I write. On the surface, it’s slower; but in really, if I took the same amount of time to only re-read the same material without copying, I still wouldn’t remember as much.

There are also quite a population of free and independent people with non-trivial levels of education capable of identifying how politically expedient it would be for the field of virology and for China in general if the blame could just be deflected away from anything having to do with how they do research.

Just because you have a Ph.D doesn't mean you can't or shouldn't be called out by those without. The world was impacted hard by this, and the required, rather quick independent verification and transparency that would quickly absolve WIV of any suspicion has not been forthcoming. What has come from "experts" has been tainted from the start by conflicts of interest in doing anything possible to avoid further restraints on possible avenues of research, combined with China's shiftyness regarding the early days of the pandemic does not lead to or inspire confidence in the establishment narrative.

Just because everyone else seems to believe human beings aren't capable of doing stupid, self-serving, but ultimately destructive things doesn't mean everyone else has to drink that kool-aid.

One of the fondest memories of my life will be my mother reading me "The Mouse And The Motorcycle" when I was just a chunk of a lad. For my entire life, my answer to "Who is your favorite living female author?" was Beverly Cleary. I feel that I, and the world, have been stripped of a little light today. We'll never recover from this loss, but I hope that we can rebuild in the precocious and excited spirit her books embody. Rest In Peace.
Well, on one hand at least the money goes directly to the one in need and not through the government as a middle man. There's no department heads or managers of managers to pay in between this transaction.

When it was short term, I can see the argument both for decency and for a smoother return of keeping people on. I was surprised that my employer pretty much instantly dumped all the facilities related staff when we went to wfh. But now that it has become structural, it's hard to fault places for adapting. I read comments about people continuing to pay their barbers or cleaners. Are they just going to keep doing that? At some point, and where I am it was probably once we realized we'd still be wfh at the end of last summer, I think it's perfectly reasonable to restructure the business to reflect reality. People doing jobs that aren't needed will realistically need to adapt. When things change back, companies and the labor market can adapt back.

It's called loyalty, it goes both ways, but American companies don't understand it today. You shouldn't just treat people like a tool or equipment like American companies tend to. Sometimes people need something from the company and the company provides, then in return the employee works harder when they can.
Black Lives Matter was diverted into irrelevance in the same way. Lots of noise about statutes and names, not so much about Federal prosecution of cops and stronger civilian review boards.
I actually can think of uses for this. One, it would be great as an around-the-house automation UI. Like a universal remote on steroids.

Two, I can see kits of these (piles of mobos and peripherals) being super handy for hackathons, robotics clubs, field work, etc. Especially if you had something like the Automation Hat - an interface to some high power transistors and relays.
Interesting, looks like you're right. Also looks like you can improve the home (even DIY) and use that improvement to erase negative equity. Though of course it has to be the 'right' improvement, like kitchens and baths.

In college (in the US, 2015 ish) I worked at the on-campus bookstore part-time. My only job was to say welcome to people and ask if I could help them find what they are looking for so that we'd get graded well by secret shoppers.

Ironically, as soon as they began to ask where to find something I was required to point at another employee and tell them "He can help you!" so that I stay at the door doing the same thing over and over again.

Comic stuff.
> To repeat the key info from this case that makes one question the NRLB ruling...

These issues (among others) are addressed at length in the NLRB's decision (https://apps.nlrb.gov/link/document.aspx/09031d45833d3fce) which takes into account probably thousands of pages of briefs, witness statements, and legal analysis.

The decision itself is only ~50 pages and is readable without a legal background. The section "credibility findings" which starts on page 32 might interest you.

> Would looking at their github and talking over something they've written suffice? Why not?

For a simple reason. I don't want to select only people that have github projects. I think it is wrong.

If interviewers grade candidates based on github projects then I can bet there will be market for people to fake their projects. It is just reality.

What about creating incentive for people to work entire days, at work as well as on a private project? Is that ok?

You landed your job based on github project? Good for you.

Those gas turbines you're referring to can simply be modified natural gas gas turbines. The only limiting factor would be electrolysis, but that is already something people are planning to build a lot of.

I'm not sure why this is news. Yersinia pestis (the plague) first showed up in the 540s AD in the form of the Plague of Justinian. In fact the plague occurred just as Justinian's armies were over extended reconquering the western portion of the empire, essentially dooming the empire in the long run due to its diminished demographics.

This preserves the exact lighting equation that the NeRF learned, while traditional voxel rendering is limited to traditional lighting equations.

You would have a hard time voxelizing a NeRF, because you can't extract a traditional lighting equation out of it.

not to mention, there's probably ledger wallets holding much more than that. think bitcoin whales or HODLers from 2012. If they really had a 0day they certainly wouldn't be wasting it on some kid with only $40k in crypto holdings. If they did, it would be part of some sort of coordinated attack that everyone would be reporting.
Allowing people a sense of dignity and purpose is really fundamental to mental and physical well being; it's a concept that should resonate with us in the tech industry since lack of either or both is one of the precursors to burnout.

It's possible that those wallets are compromised, but it's quite strange that both of them would be compromised at the same time. It's also strange that someone in possession of a compromise for one of these wallets would use it for merely $40,000.

To me it seems more likely that your nephew is mistaken about some aspect of this story. Perhaps he used some malicious software and subsequently forgot about it. Either way, there is nothing that can be done.

In the future, your nephew would be better off using traditional saving methods rather than self-controlled cryptocurrency. If he can't figure out what he did wrong, it's likely he won't be able to prevent it from happening again.
