You’re not risking your principal but you can be risking your life. Who ever died trading on the market? My wife had a friend who died last year from COVID at 33. His last tweet was about how his dick manager at T-Mobile was forcing them to come into work despite the global pandemic. A life wasted in the name of selling cellphone plans. T-Mobile stock hit an all time high today tho.
>I, like you, know how to cope but is that really better than not needing to know how to cope at all? I wish I shared your optimism.

That depends on how bad it gets. Everyone has a breaking point and I'd prefer having experience to deal with it. There's not a single person on this planet that won't go through some sort of catastrophe in their lives.

I think it's naive to assume these people that get selected haven't had to go through difficult emotional challenges.
It doesn't have to be this way! You're on HN, a lot of us are actually doing what we enjoy, or at least are pursuing that goal.

I recognize that's the result of a whole heap of privilege, but I don't have to work and still do because it fulfills my desire to build things and... well honestly, make money.

Hi, thanks for hanging around; the idea seems exciting! A few questions (likely FAQs):

1. How much thicker & heavier is this laptop than similar screen size MacBook Pro and Thinkpads? (Is the battery life comparable?)

2. Is there soldered-on RAM and/or expansion slots?

3. Can this run linux without any hitch?

The headline is not only wrong but it is intentionally misleading.

I don’t understand the games people play when certain financial numbers line up and they want to “give credit” for all the profit to one thing or another. It’s not reality, and it’s not how a company is run.

Tesla is trying to grow as quickly as possible, and will deploy as much capital to that end that they can do so reasonably efficiently.

They sold about $10 billion of product with a gross margin over 20%. That’s $2 billion of gross profit that can fund their growth. They also had ~$500 million of credits due to making all those cars, so it’s $2.5 billion in gross profit from selling cars that funds their future growth. Additionally they apparently reported another ~$100 million of capital gains from Bitcoin. That’s an additional 4%.

The Bitcoin did not drive their profit. The credits did not drive their profit. What drives profit — when selling a product with 20-25% gross margin - is how much you are spending on future growth. And they are growing at 50% YoY which is nothing short of incredible at their scale.
I don't use Reddit so I don't know what you are referring to but I can guess.

A system in Argentina can be better than a system in the US while also having worse politics in Argentina than in the US. The system in use isn't the only thing causing politics to be the way they are. The system in Argentina does look better to me while the political situation does not.

there are expensive filters you can get for your whole house that filter out chlorine, lead and PFAS. They're about 800-2000 bucks.

you can learn to cook on stainless steal as opposed to "not stick" pans. Even a lot of "ceramic" pots/pans can be suspect.

You can switch to a french press for coffee (all coffee machines pass hot water through plastic before gettting to the pot). French Presses are a pain in the ass to clean, and it's been proven than French Press coffee having a lack of filter, somehow raises LDL cholesterol. I don't know a solution around that.

but good luck shopping - damned near everything comes with some kind of plastic/water proof container. Just try avoiding plastic when buying cheese, yogurt, milk, frozen veggies, ice cream. Everything - even fresh meat and produce, is typically wrapped in more plastic than Laura Palmer.

And health with food works just like technical privacy. It's a lot easier if you live a lone.

If you have an active social life, a romantic partner or a family -- good luck. Because now you're the crazy person avoiding grease resistant pizza boxes, telling your kid "no you can't have bottled water" at the soccer game, and generally looking like a crazy person and driving your partner mad who just wants to enjoy their life.

Agreed, but you CAN say that the business of selling cars is a long term endeavor and the regulatory credits are transient. Invest accordingly.

Not so easy.

I did a deep dive into the container ship industry many years ago in order to understand unit economics and how certain technologies could improve the ecologic impact of this massive industry. It was very interesting. I learned a lot.

I see a lot of comments about going electric, hydrogen, solar, sail, some kind of hybrid, etc. I don't think any of this is near any time horizon I can name or recognize.

Why?

Cargo ships use something called "Bunker Fuel" [0].

What is bunker fuel?

Well, to put it simply, it is what's left after you take petroleum and distill it into various grades of gasoline, diesel, industrial oils, etc. It is often referred to as "the bottom of the barrel". Another way to think of it is that bunker fuel is the waste product. Some grades of bunker fuel are so thick you can walk on it and will only flow if heated. This should not come as surprise, asphalt is the next level down and that stuff is solid enough to make roads out of it.

Why did I say "not so easy"?

Because these ships are effectively burning the waste product from the manufacturing process that leads to all the fuels and lubricants we consume in massive quantities.

What does this mean?

If we stopped using bunker fuel next Monday, what would we do with the absolutely massive amounts of bunker fuel produced every year? Think about that for a moment.

Sure, hydrogen and electric sound "clean", but you would have a potentially larger ecologic disaster in having to dump bunker fuel somewhere. The bottom of the barrel isn't going to magically disappear just because we transition cargo ships to something else.

What to do then? It's a tough problem. One solution, maybe, I don't know, is to evaluate how efficiently and cleanly we might be able to burn bunker fuel on land vs. on a ship. My point is that we might be able to extract and use this energy in a super-clean way, to charge batteries or whatever. I haven't studied this at all. I would imagine that if we set out to truly create a super-clean process to burn bunker fuel on land for energy generation it could be a good path forward. I don't know how much better we could do on land (in terms of clean burning) than on a ship. I'd like to think we could do a lot better.

I do think the future is electric, in some form. What I can't see or predict is how we transition from today's reality to that reality. This isn't a case of just having to solve the containership problem, you have to solve the entire oil/fuel ecosystem because, if you don't, you are going to have astronomic amounts of bunker fuel (waste product) to contend with. This is how shifting cargo ships to electric could actually be worse for the environment than letting it be and working to make them as clean as possible. Weird, isn't it?

You're misdefining rich I think in the sense it may be being used in this case as a proxy for "companies and taxpayers doing things to obfuscate their actual flow of monetary value".

Even if one makes say 1000000 in income, no equities, and takes the standard deduction, they are not the Rich being lamented here. They would not be doing end runs around tax obligations.

Yes, you blow the minimum wage folks out of the water salary-wise, but it doesn't mean they are in any different a boat than any other tax payer trying to do it right.

Which can actually be surprisingly difficult if you do anything other than basically "money comes in, money goes out". I'm actually somewhat afraid of doing any of the more advanced reading in the tax code, because it'll probably end up with me makimg a few appointments with the IRS to get someone to explain things to me. Their writing style is terrible, and I tend to lose track in the forests of ambiguous antecedents.

I say this as someone who isn't a stranger to reading legal docs or standards for fun.

No but it does matter to the readers understanding :)
Electrifying the country happened a long time ago and had clear benefits. Continuing to emit GHGs happens today and has clear negatives. Alternatives are available, and switching does not increase the number of poor people. The cost of CO2 today outweighs the benefit of having to invest less into new infrastructure. Poor people, by the way, are those who are most affected by climate change.
I've lost 10 points here for asking questions in good faith.
You can control for that with casting. I don't think it was until Ira Glass came around that we got away from it in radio.

Looking back even further, consider the influence of the electric microphone on music. It used to be that you had to be able to project to the entire room with your own power, but now many quieter varieties of voices are able to compete too.
Ok. Add nasty chemicals then. I think, even cheap chlorine can do the job. In my case higher temperature was enough. I rented a flat that was staying empty for long time and had these problems. Increasing temperature of the water and letting it run for 5 minutes solved it.
I am coming to think that it's precisely the "distributed" bit that nobody really wants.

For example, distributed version control systems are often held up as an example of some form of precedent for blockchain-type technologies. But I've never actually seen a truly distributed (in the blockchain sense) deployment of Git. It's technically possible, but it just doesn't seem to happen.

Similarly, I'm not sure people actually want immutability. They want the ability to edit history, they just want it to not be an everyday thing. In a discussion about the relative merits of different distributed version control systems, someone invariably points out that the thing Git has that makes it more usable in practice than any of the others is that it allows you to rewrite history. In the repositories I manage, I even mandate it, in the form of requiring people to rebase before merging into the main branch so that we can linearize history. As salty former Mercurial user, I used to do the opposite and ban the practice, until I realized that rebasing and squashing is more practical in the long run. I'm trying to run a software project, not an episode of Hoarders.
I feel the same way. It seems like the government wouldn't do it, but was practically encouraging the company to pay.

Well, D have a GC, and by design cannot have a GC with good performance, because of its complex mutable object system

OCaml, can achieve good GC performance because its immutable by default

D by design, will never outperform OCaml, at least this is my understanding

That, and I think D's community is too small to fix the language, while it does have several brilliant members and developer, its just too small and underfunded

So, you have two reason why D should not be an option
the first technical ( D will never have a good GC ) the second is more of a logistics issue, the community is just not there to support a language as complex and as ambitious as D and deliver on all its claims
No one has any money. That's the big problem today. The people who have it went far away, and turned their backs on everyone. The best way to sell is to live there. Go there and live among people and it's easy. But today everyone is poor. Nothing wrong with being poor. Wealth today is about being opportune.

You can commoditize people. Churn leads. The top of knowledge is known by a few people in the world though. The authorities who can speak truth to medical researchers or experimental scientists can't be churned. So you are just wasting your time.

You're going to sell. Sell what? Do business what? Work what? $20 trillion economy. Much better for everyone to just jump onboard. The world would be a better place if you could work remotely running essential services without having to travel to Africa or Asia as a corporate hostage just so some jerk in a suit can buy a bigger yacht.
I think they were refering to a lack of interpreter competition. Sure there is pypy, jython, ironpython etc. But they arent competing. They are just used for different usecases.

Yes, and this happens also in many other arenas. I've only done a bit of flying, but in my experience in speed sports such as Downhill ski racing and auto racing, you must be mentally able to switch your goals in a fraction of a second, from [win the race] to [save the run] to [save your life], without hesitation.

Sometimes you succeed in [save your life] and are still on-track / on-piste pointing in the right direction and are back to [win the race] in the space of a few seconds. Other times, you are on the sidelines, and hopefully not on the way to the field clinic.

But the switch in perspective must fully committed and absolutely not include [save the equipment], which is replaceable, even custom one-off gear. Anything else is over-constraining the problem and inviting disaster.

That had military targets including rocket depots, as you said targeted and that after doing a roof knock to notify the residents to evacuate. They have a few hours to do so before the building was destroyed, keep in mind that Hamas had offices there and rocket depots.

> The slavish subservience to authority and desperate clamor to lick boot sickens me.

Have you considered that the "desperate clamor" might just be a clamor to do the best thing ? And just how would we do that?

Your entire attitude seems to be predicated on the idea that nobody actually knows anything, there's no point listening to "experts" (even putting the quotes around the word is intended to be dismissive), and there's no way to spend time learning more about something.

I thoroughly reject that POV.

Look, you've provided a great list of terrible things that the US (and other) governments have done (though it's necessarily incomplete and mostly rather recent). But in the context of your point, so what?

What about the experts that know how to build bridges properly? What about the governmental policies that actually result in positive changes? What about the doctors, engineers, designers, architects, farmers who actually do have a better understanding of their fields than an average person?

I don't disagree with you about the lamentable actions of our government and the processes/structures that allow them to happen. But I reject the implication that this requires me to just be infinitely cynical about everything.
I dont think i missed the book, i just have a different view of the situation. It's true i didnt read the book, and dont feel compelled to read it, but also dont feel offended by it or have any desire to punish the author. It's just a book, paper covered with some text.
Everyone has the right to defend themselves when they are attacked by someone, threatened or endangered by someone's actions. But it's not that type of situation. And so taking actions against the author to harm them, cause trouble or harass in any other way is not self defense at all, it's actually quite the opposite.
In addition to that, drawing conclusions from the text of the book to assume the author would mistreat female coworkers goes a bit too far. Author can be a total asshole and have totally messed up views, but if he doesnt act on them then how do you justify harassing him?

Hmm, I remain skeptical. The idea isn't terrible on the face of it, but I would want assurances that they can't get more knowledge about who I am, including getting any additional information of the key.

I don't care about assurances that they don't do that.

The other issue is more practical: few people have such a key (especially when they won't support what is built into computers), and I for one am more likely to solve a captcha, or close the page, than I am to take of my headphones, go to another room and find my jacket to get my fido token.

The idea isn't bad, but we need to get to a place where bots aren't bad and that websites can deal with them.
