This is just not an important issue for home charging. This is why:

You just use a Tesla like you use a Plug-in hybrid like a Volt. Charge at 120V every night for about 12 hours or whatever (worth about 60 miles a day and 400 miles a week) and you’ve got a buffer of about 300 miles, which is the same as my Volt. If you ever drop too low, just fill up at a fast charge place. I fill up my Volt maybe once every 6 months and it has just 35 mile electric range. A trip to the Supercharger every 6 months is not a problem, and I’d never need to do it except on road trips (unlike my Volt which occasionally uses up its 35 mile EV range on errands and I need to dig in to that 300 mile buffer). Even with just a 120V charge.

Beats going to the gas station every two weeks like y’all have to do. Comments like this really show that non-EV owners simply don’t understand what owning an EV is like. Buy a plug-in hybrid (one with at least 35 mile range and capable of going highway speeds pure electric), which has no risk of “range anxiety”, and you’ll understand why you really spend almost no time charging compared to how much time you have to spend going to gas stations with an ICE vehicle.

The issue with people switching to non-EVs is they either have a small, pure-electric EV, they have life events that mean there isn’t an EV available that fits their requirements (frustratingly, no one offers a plug in pickup truck today), or they had to live in a place that won’t let them plug in (which is a good reason to consider a plug-in hybrid).
We mustn't forget the cambridge analytica shenanigans either.
With just one phone your phone can point an arrow in the direction of the airtag and give you a distance to it. Tested it out a bit and it works pretty well but its short range.
The problem isn't that these machines are from the 1960s. It's that we stopped making machines like that. I'm sure someone somewhere along the line convinced someone that it'd be better to do it all over from scratch, but if these machines lasted 60 years, then they can't be all bad. In Italy, there are textile manufacturers that use looms that were built in the 1920s and still make cloth perfectly well, just like the old times.

We do this all the time with technology. It's because we're addicted to change, and we have no judgment about how much change we need and where.
Canadian English has a bunch of britishisms and spellings that are artifacts (artefacts?) of its more recent history as a commonwealth dominion and probably French influence. Colour, neighbour, centre, defence, etc. Our ESL teachers are popular internationally because of our relatively "neutral" accent as well, and a reputation for a level of general agreeableness that aligns with some of the traditions of some other cultures. Maybe it's just the first alphabetical one on the list, but these are other factors. This article is about the locale for text, so maybe it's not a spoken English thing.

However, I could see why someone would want to avoid acquiring a southern accent if they weren't from there, or moreso, that rising terminal of the US west coast. (I suspect people in CA tech companies would be a bit less sensitive about others over explaining things to them if they realized that to anyone east of the Sierra Nevada, most of what they they say sounds like a question.)
Matlab is great. I won’t hire anyone who only has experience in it though, like I might hire someone who only has python numerical analysis tools experience. It’s brittle and difficult to put into production in my experience.
Get a decent acoustic guitar. If it sounds good on it you’ll probably be able to make it sound excellent on an electric. Every little imperfection in technique shows on an acoustic. Being more difficult to play only helps when moving the piece to an electric.
Probably also doesn't force documentation.

Samba was able to get documentation for SMB/CIFS this way.
Sorry for picking you specifically ;) there's many of these posts here.

I do have to ask though. You mention it's good for gardening so I gather you have one. You mention vermicomposting which sounds like you specifically bought worms and use them in the HungryBin?

Can you elaborate on why?

Personally I just have a bunch of 2x10s in a corner of the garden and we throw all of or organic waste in a there. In fall I add all of the leaves from the trees. In spring I have compost I spread in the garden. I did literally nothing else except for turning it from time to time. Sometimes it gets hot and smokes. All by itself. I don't do anything special. Lots of worms in there too. All by themselves.

Most of our neighbors put their green bins out every week and in fall they put lots and lots of paper bags with leaves out. Why?
https://taproot.watch already shows Taproot activations by blocks and miners.
That's the wrong way to think about it.

The number only matters as long as it can subdivided sufficiently to buy the smallest priced thing.

You're thinking of it as a fixed sized pie and thinking dividing it doesn't make a bigger pie. But it's not fixed, the whole pie can grow as bitcoin increases in value. It's up to one trillion dollars now.
A drastic dramatic change needn’t mean that it’s not a stupid change.
the most recent update to the W3C's own research webserver, written in Java, called Jigsaw, seems to be dated in 2007. I used it for a lot of purposes until 2002 but I don't know why I stopped working with Jigsaw only that by the time F# emerged in 2004 I was absorbed into a new direction :

https://jigsaw.w3.org/

iirc Jigsaw was used to develop and validate the WebDAV protocols and XQUERY which at the time I remember thinking XQUERY was sure to be the future as implementations of advanced data management and manipulation and query and distribution and declaration looked to be what the whole point of webservers were for. The incredible distractions caused by "rich media" as opposed to multimedia as it was understood then, are really worth thinking about.

I think the real problem is that a small set of companies are exercising control over what people see and read.

Facebook's censorship (which includes algorithmic timelines, prioritizing some things and censoring others) is an existential danger to the wellbeing of our society. Any organization that can decide what links and text can be shared from neighbor to neighbor or from friend to friend is in a position of massive power.

They even prohibit links to certain tweets in DMs.
The only reason we're talking about them is how marketable they have managed to be.
It can be used via the web, but it hides those features from you. If you're on a system where the desktop app cannot be installed, it reveals those features again. It's not that the features don't exist at all in the web version, they do but are hidden if you're capable of installing the app.
"Though Dogecoin has an unlimited supply, the actual inflation rate goes down, making this coin deflationary. So, those who criticize Dogecoin for having an endless supply are wrong. They are missing the bigger picture."

I'm a little surprised the Michigan or Texas DAs haven't filed anything.
I mean.. sure. But it's definitely not 'designed to work' that way, and to be clear what I was objecting to was the tablets being described as 'flying in the face of the way [the dishwashers are] designed to work'.
You going to pay for my tow? The increase in cost to the apartment complex that's going to get passed straight to me on top of the cost of the electric vehicle?

How about maintenance? I do most of my own work on our vehicles. I bought an older truck because I didn't want to deal with all the electronics. Now I'm supposed to buy a vehicle that's not only all electronics, but has potentially dangerous batteries that I don't have the skills to touch? My windows roll down with a crank handle. That was one of my requirements when I bought it. When that mechanism breaks, I can get replacement parts out of the junkyard or off ebay and throw it back together with a little common sense.

I am all about the environment. It's a big deal for me. I cannot, absolutely can not, make an electric vehicle work for my lifestyle. My horse injures her leg, you going to pay the extra $50 for the vet to make a farm call on top of the $500 I'm already going to owe for meds and treatment? That's if it's within office hours. Because I can't haul even my cheap little straight load with a Tesla.

Electric vehicles make sense in the big city. For us out here, who need to haul livestock, hay, shit, even just furniture to move, an electric vehicle is not an option if you can't afford 2 vehicles. Oh, just hire movers. Get delivery from the furniture store. $50 to deliver a grill that doesn't fit in an electric car and you know what kind of vehicle is going to deliver it? Surely not an electric one.
This doesn’t seem like the right math for a mortgage. Are you saying it was a 1% simple interest loan? Because if so, that’s astonishing. I’ve only ever heard of compound interest mortgages.
Shout out to the docker.io debian/Ubuntu package maintainers, which is what I use on all systems I manage.

After being burnt badly by the "official" docker auto-updates breaking stuff a few times, I've had enough and seeked a better solution. Turns out it was already there, no 3rd party package repos required.

Linux distros package managers go to very great length not to break users' work environments. They keep things working, secure and stable, and I am very grateful for it.
How cute, people still think lightning network is a serious attempt rather than plausible deniability to keep the crypto speculation charade going.

I still think Apple should bring some manufacturing back to the USA---if for nothing else---Goodwill. I do give them credit on customer service. As far as I know it's still American accents.

I am aching to drop Apple. I will buy their used products, but try to avoid their pricy new stuff. I don't need the latest, lightest computer either? My budget is not what it was ten years ago either?

I am waiting for a viable alternative, and it's pretty bleak.

I honestly fear what's going to happen to this once great country. I fear workers are becoming as disenfranchised as myself.
This is the "move fast and break things", "grow at all cost", "ask for forgiveness instead of beg for permission" culture. Facebook is the most obvious and visible example of this, but I fear it's permeated far beyond that in our industry.

thanks, this helps. i've tried different search terms with little success (descriptors for resource-based independent learning in groups are hard to refine). i'm retired so my professional affiliations have lapsed. and, with the freedom to pursue my interests, the possible topics are all over the place. but i'll look for some SIGs that might work (cultivating Australian native plants, tiny compiler design, etc).
Note for headline-only readers: the “normalization of deviance” here refers to organizational issues, referencing the term as it was coined in regards to the events leading up to the Challenger incident. It is not, as far as I can tell, intended to be a stigmatizing remark about behavior considered “deviant.” It’s probably worth noting this since it’s easy to interpret it that way from the headline.
The article equates usd inflation with the increase in the supply of dogecoin, but the two charts measure completely different things.
There being a cap is relevant, because it makes your currency deflationary and therefore a poor medium for exchange and a very poor medium to base an economy around (as, among other things, it increases the real value of a debt over time and discourages investment). Small amount of deflation are dangerous - but if everybody used BTC for everything the deflation would be massive and the effects severe.
Espanso - Cross-platform Text Expander written in Rust
I started seeing them in supermarkets (in the UK) ~5 years ago; actually I think I only noticed them after a colleague mentioned using them, so maybe that's not accurate at all.

I've never used them though, they seem to solve a problem that barely exists, and at quite a premium.
The standard symbol for "square miles" is "sq mi."

"m²" or "m ^ 2" universally refers to square meters (unless you've established unambiguously that you're talking about miles — and even if you have it should still be "sq mi").

I know the author will get flak for this because this is HN, and Google Chrome has really bad reputation here (and understandably so). However, just try to develop a modern web app and you will quickly wish that all of your customers used Chrome exclusively.

And "just make mobile apps" is not the answer here. There are many situations where a web application is by far the better choice for a company or a product. It's really a shame too, because Chrome could really use some competition.
I think you misunderstood my point.

I'm not saying the price can't increase, I'm saying that dividing coins does not reduce scarcity.

Edit: Updated my original comment, turns out I'm the one who misunderstood your point. We actually agree.
It works as designed right now, but it's still designed for crypto nerds, not normal people. I've gotten an open balanced lightning channel using electrum but it was not easy or cheap.
Isn’t a warranty of merchantability thing? If something is described as doing X, and you take X away, you’ve taken value from my property.
They're doing a similar thing with the gmail app, at least on iOS. Practically everything now opens within gmail instead of the actual app. Google Meet links now open in gmail instead of Google Meet. I know they're both owned by the same company... but I don't want to give the gmail app microphone and video permissions.
I was just thinking the other day about what it must be like to work for Facebook on their security team (I'm in security myself). On an infosec team I have an idea of who the attackers are - there may be multiple, ranging from disgruntled employees to nation states. I think about their incentives, capabilities, and how to reduce risk.

At Facebook... I'm working for the attacker. You're protecting users from some set of other attackers, of course, but like, if the idea here is "reduce harm to the user", you're working for one of those attackers.

Facebook is essentially normalizing a breach. It's not really particularly different from some threat actor gaining access to a database, except that the users "consent" (if such a thing is possible - as if users understand the implications of their consent, not to mention the tracking that happens without consent).

As the post notes, and as Facebook states, " Longer term, though, we expect more scraping incidents and think it’s important to . . . normalize the fact that this activity happens regularly."

Of course, this makes it clear that protecting users isn't the goal, protecting the company's interests is the goal. It feels like engineers and others may be in need of a hippocratic oath - a commitment that makes it clear that, while you may be employed by some entity, you must do no harm. You have ethical responsibilities that extend beyond the scope of your employment to that entity.

I had ninja-edited to be clearer, but perhaps I was too slow. I was simply noting what the equivalent two locations would be in W3W.
The commenter asked for free research, which I'm not about to reproduce for them (at a minimum it takes the time to format/reinstall a machine), so rather than not answer I told them precisely what they need to do to get the data they desire.
Although there is definitely bias, the facts choosen in the quote are alarming regardless.

Sounds like a gated internet community. Given the current state of online discourse, that’s understandable. But a little trolling, with the appropriate level of cutting wit, goes a long way towards skewering the bloviations of the thought leader class. It’s most unhackerlike to side with the mods.
Why not start your own news publication? Run it according to your own rules.
If you play chess and want to improve your game, then one of the best ways to do it is to make it a a habit to ALWAYS take at least 30 seconds for every move. Even for very trivial recaptures. This is because in chess one small mistake is enough to blow the whole game. You may be observing something similar. The time candidates take on your warmup question may not be indicative of skill.
Exactly. Most people just spam them with some completely arbitrary low-ball bid. If someone was actually checking the project descriptions and bids to make sure they had some minimal amount of quality, it would work a lot better. Or at least filter out people who were unwilling or unable to put in a minimum effort at the beginning.

That's one reason why I think my idea might have a chance. If anyone ever actually uses the site.

But on freelancing sites, there are actionable descriptions (a little bit like specs) on a few of them. You just have to go through a lot to find those.
I'm not complaining, but I'd like to point out that I think this violates HN's terms of service: "You agree to not use the Site to:

email or otherwise upload any content that (i) infringes any intellectual property or other proprietary rights of any party;"

It seems like sharing a link to copyright infringing content (archive.is) could be considered Contributory copyright infringement (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contributory_copyright_infring...)

By analogy, how is this so different from posting a link to a pirated movie originally from Netflix? Because it's text?

I think we have a case of normalization of deviance right here on HN. Illegal or stolen content is posted in the comments here all the time.
Oh, there's a certificate issue. I was wondering why Smart Screen was giving me a hard time about the download even though I was... fairly sure it was legit.
Another interesting coin is Polkadot (DOT), which, similar to Dogecoin, has no supply limit, and similar to Cardano, uses proof of stake.
BTW thank you havernator, because I have just realised what I can do with the setup I'm almost ready to pull the trigger on that'll give me a surfeit of online capacity (at least a baseload can be maintained while the rest is used for work instead of cloud time) : I am definitely going to investigate the possibility of providing a high level of standards specifications for simple web serving. If the W3C Jigsaw project had been maintained, I'd simply put it up and invite interested users to persuade me to send them a shell login. OK obviously that's far too naive today, but I would love to run a especially standards compliant host for negligible nominal or even no charge so people could maybe get a view of better ways to present the WWW.

frankly I think that unless we do things like this, the Internet is simply going to become a closed shop to anyone not wielding enterprise budgets and legal department capabilities.

Fermilab video is hard to grasp intuitively to me, but one important thing it did was it cleared that confusing misconception of acceleration, which was induced by [too many] other videos.

After watching these incorrect videos it was still unclear why acceleration even matters, because with 1g accel in space you can reach subluminal speed in a matter of days, and then, at the distant location, turn back with just 2x long 1g again, and then “brake” with 1g again to land on earth. While the twin on earth experienced that 1g all the time. One may even pick a distance and a (probably hyperbolic-y) route with rotations so that all of the journey would consist of a constant 1g for a flying twin, exactly as a sitting one experiences. Put them both into opaque boxes, knock senseless for a couple of hours at launch, and neither of them would even tell who is where, until opened.
“pronouncible gps coordinates” is a great idea, but hardly seems like the kind of thing you can claim to own, barring specific implementation
I’m not sure I understand your point? My understanding is the intended users of Salesforce are most certainly the sales team.

And I say this out of experience with using it as part of a sales team at a car dealership I worked at years ago. Every sales person in the company was expected to log all the customers they interacted with, track phone numbers & other info, set reminders to makes sales calls, make notes of what you talked about in said sales calls, et cetera, et cetera. And management was adamant that we did these things.

And for good reason. Sales is a very data driven industry, so to your point yes, it’s great for upper management to be able to track & aggregate all of the data company wide.

It’s been too long since I used it for me to really remember or comment on the performance of the software. But if it’s as bad as the OP is saying that’s a real problem. If you have a whole sales team using this, and performance issues are constantly slowing them down and wasting time, that’s something that should seriously be addressed.

I guess you’re saying though that they just don’t care if the sales team experience sucks? As long as management gets their data?

It could be fuel, if you consider fuel to be one of the resources a star can provide you.

If your fuel is something that is inside the star (or star's orbit), and you have a means of extracting it, then you can use the star as a refueling point.

You're right that using the star wouldn't require less fuel overall, but it could provide you access to extra fuel along the way.
