There’s actually massive subsidies right now for lower income households in CA to install an EV charging system, amongst other green deals. Even for those at a higher price range, you can still get 1k back on your taxes for an EV charger install. The article failed to mention this…

Or just cast the pointer to uint##_t and use be##toh and htobe## from <endian.h>? I think this is making a mountain out of a mole hill. I've spent tons of time doing wire (de)serialization in C for network protocols and endian swaps are far from the most pressing issue I see. The big problem imo is the unsafe practices around buffer handling allowing buffer over runs.

>> the customers of offshore banks are likely to be from the wealthiest segment of whichever society they come from.

What a surprising discovery.

Governments with the most abusive tax policies still cannot realize that they cannot tax their way to prosperity.

Most creative and productive people, entities and businessed did, do and will use any tools at their disposal to escape barbaric tax racket and turn their attention toward jurisdictions where they treated better than in their own home country.

Trillions of dollars of wealth escaped and will continue escaping away from economies where ruling politicians cannot get their heads out of their bottoms.

Absolutely, and I suspect there are other things to consider as well, he certainly doesn't need minimum wage if he owns the land and lives on a diet that - based on my last trip to a Tesco in the north of England - would require significantly less than minimum wage to subsist on.

I'm not saying it's a life I want, but unlike an Australian or American farmer he doesn't need to drive for several hours to get to the nearest hospital/major shopping centre/his mate's farm. His sister's carers are paid for presumably by the UK version of the NDIS which ours was modeled on with all the good bits taken out because they were too expensive. Unlike an American farmer he won't spend the rest of his life paying for the ambulance and hospital stay from his stroke because it was covered by the public system.

It sounds to me like he is contributing to society as best he can, and as someone who has hiked through farms in the UK, and gazed at them from the train for hours on end, I think he has done more to improve the general condition of England than many other people can claim.

Quirky study, but in the best sense of it.
I have no doubt that Robin Hanson is a brilliant man, and I am aware that he has an extremely strong physics background for a professor of economics, but it would seem prudent at this point for those of us who are not domain experts to have somewhat Bayesian anticipations regarding the cross-disciplinary adventurism of economics professors. People read his blog. If this thing is indeed a ball, there will be plenty of astrophysicists happy to pick it up and run with it.

This doesn't mean that you're wrong that the paper is wrong, but Dr. Hanson should absolutely not be our referent for certitude on the matter.

Reddit's mobile site nags you constantly to download the app. They started restricting the comments you can read without an account. And their site redesign is just bloated and bad. Seems like every social media site gets popular and then starts turning on their users to squeeze out more ad money, more data, more rent and metrics and growth. I'm super glad HN exists.
Because they aren't: https://www.eia.gov/electricity/state/

California electricity prices are indeed sort of an outlier in the mountain west, because the area is very rich in cheap hydro yet CA has much less of it per capita. Nationally, they're right about the same level as you see in the urban northeast, and obviously much cheaper than limited markets like AK and HI.

In fact, if you look at that chart it looks very much like a chart of state per-capita GDP. Seems like electricity spending tends to track the overall economy, which isn't surprising.

Also, just for scale: at the $.17/kWh price listed, that means Californians need to pay a whopping $12.75 to fill up their 75 kWh Tesla batteries.
This seems to suffer from the usual problem of non-astronomers not understanding the breadth of the problem they think they're trying to solve. That is, they've vaguely heard that the problem is in the rotation of disk galaxies, and so they propose solutions that depend on the rotation (and maybe also on the flattening).

But the "dark matter" problem occurs for basically all galaxies, including things like elliptical and dwarf spheroidal galaxies that have no bulk rotation at all. (And also disk galaxies where a significant fraction of the stars and gas are counter-rotating.) The same applies to groups and clusters of galaxies.
I somewhat disagree that the famous answer is an instance of cargo-culting. Even if not for entertainment it's probably more valuable than literally answering the question posed. Let's say that you now have a method that extracts tags in the manner prescribed... now what? I'd bet the OP was only trying to write that method as a subprocedure for some larger task much more efficiently dealt with another way. In fact if you look at that poster's question history around that time, it's apparent that they were trying to render potentially-malformed XHTML.
Compared to this? "You should at least read the whole abstract before assuming you understand it." I can do the math for you, but it would be great if you could pitch right on in there yourself.

>Even people that I know owning olive plantations and processing installations don't consume a lot of it, they can't afford to.

I don't know what people you are referring to, but of course people owning Olive oil plantations consume lots of it if they like it.And workers in those plantations.

I have lots of experience in Spain, Italy and Greece and on those countries you have a lot of olive oil, and near plantations(like in Jaen or Sevilla) EVERYBODY consumes it.

It is common there to take raw oil with bread for breakfast. Some people just don't like it in raw form, but most people like the food cooked with it, that is typical in Spain or Italy.

They can afford it because olive oil is expensive, but not that expensive there, and friends and family give each other oil gifts in bulk.

Those prices are not what you find in a shop in California for a small bottle. They give each other 10, 20 Litters containers.

Sunflower seed oil is used for frying things in big quantities,not just because price but because it has neutral flavor,but olive oil is used a lot for cooking in general.

You make fish in the oven, you add olive oil. You make meat, you use olive oil.

I live in central Europe most of the year and of course I cook with lots of olive oil(and sunflower oil too).
I flagged it originally because at a glance it looks exactly like a scam. I unflagged it after seeing people actually having a discussion about it and saying there's something to it.
His Secret Obsession
What Is His Secret Obsession?
His secret obsession is a breakthrough program written by relationship expert James Bauer, based on over 12 years worth of research and experience. It shows women how to tap into a powerful life-long desire all men share, and harness it to transform the way men experience them.
This desire is half emotional need and half biological drive, and it is rarely satisfied in life or love.Once a woman knows how to satisfy this "secret obsession’ she will become a man’s highest priority for life.
This program is already getting incredible results for women in all walks of life across the world

The problem is that the only way to get more CPU, you need to assign more memory to lambda. Most node.js lambdas would have stable idle/low memory usage around 200MB but you get ~1/9of vCPU core, this have severe impact performance. You are forced to overprovision lambdas with more memory, even then performance is still very much a disappointment. People that sold promise of serverless framework should have a special place in hell.

The appeal of modified gravity lies in all the observations Sabine outlines here, that don't fit our understanding.

You need something to explain them, and the choice is either positing lots of invisible stuff, or modifying the laws of gravity. It seems reasonable to try both approaches, particularly since positing lots of invisible stuff has a pretty checkered history in science.
OSDL was almost certainly too focused on Linux vertical scalability at the time because that's what IBM and others were focused on. While things like NUMA optimizations became more broadly important over time (as those architectures became part of smaller and smaller systems), it's of course not how Linux primarily grew early on. The current LF executive director actually held that position at FSG when they merged.
Well if they weren't before, perhaps they are now?

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

The Mediterranean diet is a diet inspired by the eating habits of Greece, Italy, and Spain in the 1960s.[1][2] The principal aspects of this diet include proportionally high consumption of olive oil, legumes, unrefined cereals, fruits,[3] and vegetables, moderate to high consumption of fish, moderate consumption of dairy products (mostly as cheese and yogurt), moderate wine consumption, and low consumption of non-fish meat products. Olive oil has been studied as a potential health factor for reducing all-cause mortality and the risk of chronic diseases.

But the reason China gets away with as much as it does is that it's so big and powerful. If there were four mini-Chinas, it would be much easier for the rest of the world to say "we're not buying anything from you until you clean up your emissions."
If a comparable number of Xboxes were compromised through a game on Microsoft's own Xbox store then I would say that's an Xbox hack. It'd mean that the malware evaded the Xbox's security mechanisms (which are implemented at Microsoft's end when publishing onto the store).

For non-walled-garden platforms, like most desktop operating systems, a program being available for download isn't yet a bypass of any security feature. It'd have to do something forbidden like privilege escalation for me to count it as a OSX/Windows/Linux hack.
Not really. See Penrose for good rants about why higher dimensions introduce insuperable problems. Basically, if you start adding new dimensions, almost everything will leak into those higher dimensions and then you need to start adding on kluges for why we don't notice them except for the one desired effect.

There's a good discussion of this in his book "Fashion, Faith, and Fantasy in the New Physics of the Universe".

I know the coffee thing is just an analogy to make his point, so there is not much point in arguing about it. But since I face this question every morning, I can't help but say what I think about, and it is not latency versus throughput. It's latency versus risk.

For me it is tea, and not coffee. I have an automatic kettle that will bring the water to a desired temperature and then holds it there. I also have a small ceramic tea pot I brew tea in. I often rew 2 or 3 batches (I know which when I start). I heat the entire amount of water by default, even though that takes longer to initially heat.

Sometimes I am in a hurry and want the tea sooner. Then I consider if I should heat a smaller amount of water to get started faster. I don't think I have ever done that though. The reason is risk. (1) Will it heat the
water in time. The answer is yes it should, but that would be very bad if it didn't. Then my tea pot would
cool down as I waited. I think that might be bad for the tea quality. To me this is an assymetric bet. (2)
Will I even remember to put more water in the kettle. I am such a creature of habit. That would really mess up the tea pot temperature. (3) Will I even put the right amount of water in for the initial pot. That takes 2+ portions of water. One to preheat the tea pot, a small amount to rinse the tea, and then the portion to actually brew the tea. That would also be bad if I didn't have enough water.

Granted, a number of those items are just because of habit/momentum. If I normally heated enough only for he first batch of tea, then I might be hesitant to heat all the water ahead of time.

So for me it comes down to latency versus risk. I suspect this is a factor in "real world" decisions to.

For what it is worth, when I write software, I would say I dive in sooner and start writing something like an MVP, along the lines ofwhat the author is saying. Admittedly I plan more features than I plan on writing for the first version, kind of like giving yourself a good leve when playing pool.
Sorry, I was unclear; I meant we would love to hire all of these amazing people who come back to volunteer week after week, but we can't afford it so we rely on donated labor.

The (very small number of) paid staff jobs and volunteer roles definitely don't overlap. First because our lawyer agrees with you, and second because we feel like that would be extremely rude to have one person be paid while another person is doing the labor for free. If one person is getting paid to do the role, everybody doing that role should be getting paid.

We try to do right by our volunteers. For example, when we have a new paid opening, we tell our volunteers about it first. And sometimes someone donates some money with a note of "do something nice for the volunteers, if you can," so we'll throw a party for our amazing volunteers or buy a nicer lunch (everybody gets fed but sometimes it's boxed sandwiches with chips and other days it's a full taco spread from a local restaurant)..
If you want more insight into this with less pejorative language, ditch the ICIJ and the Brookings study and look at KPMG, Deloitte and PwC annual reports on the offshore industry.

I don't know--that French Laundry menu feels pretentious to me too. For example, many, many items in the description have unnecessary modifiers. If going for simplicity, they wouldn't be telling me it is "Maine" lobster tail, "French Laundry garden" cabbage, "Sacramento Delta" asparagus, "King Richard" leeks, etc. All of that is selling people on the idea it is quality, not simply trusting that the result speaks for itself. If I trust their reputation, I should be able to trust they select a good lobster tail, cabbage, asparagus and leek without them trying to sell it to me. Those sorts of extra food descriptions put me off (in the same way that similar modifiers in a, for example, Blue Apron ad do...)

And throwing in unnecessary french words is just as off putting to my sensibilities (but can be forgiven, given their name). So is omitting dollar signs. Or unnecessary italics. I could go on. My point is they absolutely are trying to put out a perception of quality food/atmosphere with their menu design, just in a different way and with fewer items than they Cheesecake Factory version. They're just doing the humble brag version of the same thing.
Do you think there's any level of taxation where a wealthy individual wouldn't want to do some "tax avoidance" in another jurisdiction? I suspect there is not.

first, the size and geography of the state make the fixed costs associated with the maintenance of its grid higher than in most other states

More specifically, PGE raises rates to pay for line maintenance but instead steals the money[1], goes into bankruptcy, raises rates again to pay for line maintenance and will likely simply steal the money despite all this.

Even more specifically, after bankruptcy, PG&E has dealt with possible line problems by cutting down a bunch of (historic) trees in my town, Nevada City, They're cutting (a few) trees around their lines as symbolic bandaid, as opposed effective, sustainable methods like installing the equivalent of GFI circuits or putting lines underground (note, Nevada City had actually previous paid to put ours lines underground, but "due to bankruptcy" PGE couldn't do that). And so when these new efforts fail, we'll have another increase in rates to "finally pay for it". And the fire situation need to be barely mentioned - poor forestry or global warming? Of course it's both and of course PG&E bears some responsibility for both.

A really good post - I think 'low/no' code generally gets a hard time on HackerNews, generally because it's place and application is misunderstood.

The success of PowerApps is a huge part of the Microsoft Dynamics appeal in the ERP space for instance - and they seem to be winning this segment very quickly on the back of it with tremendous growth.

The fact a relatively inexperienced user can create a new phone app that is fully integrated into the company ERP is a real point of difference.
Here's my approach - I think it will work for you, but you can use different tooling:

-Django server framework to handle templates, auth, routing, DB etc

- HTML templates and CSS (inline for one-offs, and CSS files for multi-use and defaults)

- Targeted JS without dependencies for UI manipulation and fetching data from the server as required.

I think you'll find the improvements in modern JS and CSS very nice. Flex, Grid, JS DOM apis etc. Ignore the bloated frontend frameworks etc.
