> so High Speed Rail would be a slower and costlier substitute for long-distance flights, and a maybe-faster but drastically less flexible alternative to <300 mile travel.

Lots of people in the US fly distances in the 300-800km range cited in the article. So equating long-distance and flight doesn't seem right. Trains are no less flexible than flights (or busses) over any distance (obviously they can be slower); they only lose flexibility when compared with cars.

> One example: in truth intercity buses are very widespread in Europe, and not only do they fill in gaps left by the rail system, but thanks to expressways on some routes they be as fast as "moderate-speed trains" too.

The article's author says more or less precisely the same thing as you've said here. In addition, the flexibility of busses is not the same as the flexibility of a bus. Yes, bus services can range from inter-city routes moving at 80mph to local ones servicing small villages. But these are never the same busses.

Right. That's called "lemon socialism". Britain, in its most socialist period, the 1950s, had the government owning the railroads, the coal industry, and the steel industry. All lemons, and all way overstaffed.
Fair warning about Dark: I personally found the first season to be... well, not as good as the next two. It is very slow paced and does that modern TV show thing where basically nothing seems to happen in any given episode.
This looks like a pump and dump scheme in its finest form. Nothing changed over last year in regards to energy consumption. There's no way that Elon or those in Tesla discussing this were not aware of this prior.
Regarding auth, I absolutely bought to JWT cool-aid but honestly if you're still on the monolith phase just use the most popular auth framework for your language. JWT adds a lot of complexity and room for misconfiguration, you do get something in return of course - it is stateless (hence scalable), works great with microservices, and improves your security model somewhat by separating issuing from verification. But you do have to pay for it, expiry gets tricky, the client code gets trickier, permissions get trickier. For most people it just isn't worth it
In my opinion, operators overloading could be safely used if they were explicit.

With something like that:

There is no possible mistake.
I get what you're saying, but the average is probably used because there isn't public information to do this in real time.

Plus, the timescale of changes wouldn't work with this format and the author's intended message. You'd have things fairly constant for a few hours in a row, then +40 million one day and -60 million the next.

MSTR down 10% to $500 (60% off the highs) depsite btc only being down 24% from highs. Put options on MSTR plus being long BTC seems like a good micro-strategy. MSTR is overleverged and at risk of defualt if btc falls below $10k.

Welfare is a plague.

I know so many people who did not work because it would cut into their welfare.

I know so many homes that lived lies (separate fake addresses, never marrying) so they could get welfare.

I've seen welfare programs (wic, food stamps) exchanged for cash..

I've seen emergency rooms abused with medical cards (something most yuppies do not even know exists --- most do not seem to know most poor people already get free healthcare).

It's a sad thing. Reality on the privileged persons terms, I guess.

We gotta thank the Bush admin for this. Obama had the opp to make things right, but passed and instead gave them a wink.

For those like myself ignorant about the company, Notion appears to be a project management tool with integrated wiki and docs support. With at least a claimed strong user focus.
DOGE's drop over the weekend also more or less coincided w/ Musk's appearance on SNL (where he called it a "hustle"). If you recall, the previous rise in BTC also followed closely on the tails of the news that Tesla was getting into BTC.

Wow these look great! My family has two 2013 Macbook Airs I need to replace soon, and the latest Apple options feel like big compromises. I love that I can get high levels of RAM. Linux support is a hard requirement for me though. And I'd love to see some numbers re battery life.

Engine failure is the most important thing you are trained for when you transition from flying single-engine airplanes to multi-engine.

Fully agree. I have a couple of old C2D/C2Q machines still kicking around and after upgrading their storage to SSDs, running the latest Win10 builds they're still totally viable day-to-day machines… well, until you fire up a notoriously heavy web/electron app, and then they're suddenly on their knees. If the devs working on these apps had to use such machines even a single day per week I'm sure we'd see marked improvements.

Ah, the contrarian dynamic strikes again:

(1) an initial wave of objections to the article;

(2) a second wave of objections to the objections;

(3) those get upvoted, so that

(4) the most popular comment becomes the one about how the site is so negative, all people do is complain, etc., producing

(5) irony!

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24215601

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25434665

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...

If you study this phenomenon, it becomes clear that the difference between (1) and (2) is not negativity, just timing. And the upvotes of (3) are negative in the same way. Negativity about negativity is not positive. It's an idempotent operation.

(Edit: I hope it's clear that I don't mean to pick on you or anyone else personally! This is a systemic problem that we're all part of—that's kind of the whole point actually.)

If we want a solution to the ambient negativity that can afflict HN threads—which we do—we need to tackle it a little more deeply. We all need to become aware of how the same negativity that we perceive in others exists in ourselves, and without cheap avoidances like "well, the others do it worse". It always seems like others do it worse; everyone experiences that. It is the chief way we avoid looking at ourselves.

If we admit that we're all just mirroring our own denied negativity to each other, we can start taking steps to a solution. Not that we'd never be negative any more—but maybe we can get less mechanical in our responses if we learn something about how the mechanism works in ourselves. Denouncing it in others doesn't work—that's how the problem recreates itself: all this disowned negativity keeps circulating through the system, when what's needed is for people to work with it internally so that it can start to shift a little.

That's why the site guidelines now include this line: "Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community." – as a baby step in that direction. The HN community has been around for long enough that I think we can take this as a task to work on together. It would be a big step towards optimizing this place for curiosity (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...), which is what we're all here for.

Let's see what pops out when Intel points it at XKCD
I don't think it has anything to do with energy or the environment. I think Elon Musk distancing himself from Bitcoin is a consequence of the recent spat of highly publicized ransomware attacks using bitcoin. Elon Musk is connected to the military-industrial complex; it is plausible the federal government has given him forewarning of an impending war on crypto currencies, to make sure their asset, the guy who launches lots of their satellites, doesn't get caught in the crossfire.

This is pure speculation of course.
but in a pump and dump scheme the dump is the result of the orginal pumpers selling, not from the pumpers wanting to make the stock go down. It is in the interests of the pumpers to keep the stock price inflated as long as possible.

People with mental health issues have greater social needs. A desire to be isolated doesn't equate with low social needs. For example, depressed people may want to be alone, but require more effort and energy.

My take: this was calculated.

Notice an opportunity for easy money and get into Bitcoin under the pretense of selling cars for it, then pull out "temporarily" citing environmental reasons. They are now in a comfortable position to hold onto it for how long they might want to, without getting too many questions why a car maker is speculating with crypto coins. If they might need cash (or have to pretty up the quarterly results) one day, cash out some. In the meantime, post doge memes to keep crypto in people's minds.

Profit.

A huge portion of the population is directly receiving benefits that enable them to pay for life critical medical care/meds, food, and shelter including a majority of people receiving social security and every military member and other government employee.

The entirety of the population is doing business in dollars that would end up worth nothing which means everything grinds to a halt while people figure out how to reorganize this brave new world. Right now you own what you own courtesy of the government providing armed men to keep others from taking it and courts to settle differences.

This reorganization would inevitably mean that different groups compete to be the new powers that be. The obvious inheritors would be the existing state power structures which controls lots of armed men and women but nothing is stopping people from setting up their own feifdoms and disagreements about who controls what could trivially have to be settled by shooting each other.

It's not like we don't have plenty of examples of failed states collapsing. Look at Yugoslavia for example. Can you provide me with some counterexamples?
Not all N=1 examples should be discounted. Your example is much more believable because there's fairly good reason to suspect that the agent was lying on the basis of nothing more than the race or gender of the person (although there could be other explanations, such as the original buyer pulling out in the intervening time period?).

In the case of the OP, there's no reason provided to suspect racism. Merely the correlation created by two or three data points. That's grossly insufficient for drawing such a link and it's also where the article crosses over into outrage stoking and irresponsible borderline misinfo more than anything.
Do you mean during the pandemic? Otherwise, how big is this population?
There's some validity to the criticism, but that's more the intersection of short-cycle methods and American "hustle" culture than anything to do with an MVP approach itself. People with more integrity can take an MVP-centered approach and just be honest with customers about where they are.

Indeed, I think that honesty works better; underpromising and overdelivering is a great way to build trust among your initial customer base. Trust that you need to carry people through the inevitable bumps and anticipations of an early-adopter experience.

I don’t have enough context to feel confident in a position either way on this one.

On one hand, yes, having the last appraisal that was apparently conducted for a white family come in higher is a huge red flag.

On the other hand, I’ve had drastically different appraisals come back on my own home (~30% delta) and note that the lower appraisals were in early 2020 while the higher appraisal was almost a year later. A lot can happen in even a “normal” real estate market in a year, and 2020 was in no way normal.
Government persecuting former officials is a tricky problem, because it‘s hard to strike a balance between

How is this a pump and dump? They never dumped. It is certainly stupidity from Musk, but I don't know why you are implying maliciousness when they are still holding Bitcoin and therefore they are equally hurt by this drop in value.

We are going through this currently. Have a large new system going in which relies on OAuth and JWTs and our IAM team is now spending a lot of time & energy with the developers on all of the use/edge cases with tokens, expiry, security, and whether the code should be in the client or the server. In the end it'll work out, but I completely agree that grabbing the most popular auth framework for your language will save a lot of headaches in the vast majority of cases.
Is that distinction just talking about vowel sound? Because those words are quite distinct to me because the "d" and the "t" remain entirely distinct sounds.
