How? By whom? Why should we trust you or your sources?

Your thesis is that no one can be trusted to decide what is truth and what is a lie... then you follow up with several "facts" which clearly share a common ideological bias. Like most people who pretend only to be concerned with the integrity of the truth and ask "who controls the truth? Who watches the watchers?", you're just attempting to move the Overton window by pretending an anti-leftist narrative is a neutral one.
A Long List of Failed Projects
How much energy do you think would be required to air source sequester all of carbon we’ve emitted into the atmosphere over the last 100 years? I don’t believe we have any shortage of demand for electricity, and loads will be structured to accommodate variable generation (this is typically referred to as demand response).
It's being downvoted exactly for the reason that this topic is important.

Too many people are hopelessly trapped in their narrative bubbles and unable to calmly evaluate arguments against what they've been taught to believe.
Once you only care about silencing those who would point out fascism, it becomes easy enough. Watchful moderation willing to act is necessary.

I'm unsurprised that HN is being exploited this way, but I am pleasantly surprised that there are people seeing them in operation like yourself and the others speaking up.

The truth gets buried, ultimately, not by these bad-faith arguments, but by the giant thread above consisting of those who prefer to live in the world of the 90s where Republicans and Democrats worked to further their specific interests collectively in an organized fashion, and listening to both sides made sense.

I don't know if the memo is going to get out: those Republicans are gone. Those days are gone. Once the party has turned fascist I don't think there's going back, it's not like they can turn away from their deceived or delusional voters.

HN isn't a politics forum, its only function is to provide value for YCombinator. It can't address these foundational failures in human thinking.

But it's informative to see it struggle and fail.
If you have one wallet with 17 addresses, doesn't this defeat the whole "your entire bitcoin cache can be protected by memorizing one 12 word phrase" aspect.

>Wikileaks likely did spread information which was provided by and served the interests of Russia

There was a strange schizophrenia about those email leaks from DNC media outlets.

They routinely said that it held nothing of any interest (e.g. the story about the recipes - https://www.vox.com/2016/10/12/13253852/wikileaks-john-podes... ) but that it was also done to serve the interests of Russia and derailed the election - https://www.vox.com/2018/7/13/17569030/mueller-indictments-r...

The idea that truthfully informing voters about the views and actions of a candidate was reprehensible if it affected the outcome of the election was never actually justified, it was simply assumed.
Thoreau says this, in The Maine Woods[0]. (EDIT: Thoreau says that he lived in a tent in Maine, not at Walden Pond.) The author of TFA got it a little wrong. Note to those wanting to replicate this: I'm pretty sure Thoreau's tent catches fire at some point. I'd have to re-read to confirm or deny if it had anything to do with setting the tent in front of the fire, as the author of TFA does.

How Silicon Valley Profits from Time
"the problem with this news source, is that it requires thinking to parse!"

Sorry for the jab, but I think this is our current political situation in a nutshell - surface level, emotional takes are the primary way people engage in news and thus politics. It's hard to engage deeply, but it's required in order to build your own narrative, rather than just take on someone else's.
Narrow tyres tubeless is a no-go as the high-psi required to get the tyre seated and shaped can cause blowouts, especially if you get impact such as a pothole.

Going for wider tyres means you naturally can go lower PSI, but if you drop PSI with tubes you risk pinch-flats ('snakebites'), where striking a hard edge causes both edges of the tyre to puncture (like X___X on the cross section, rather than \__x_/ of a normal puncture). If you go wide, you can then drop the pressure more as you don't have a tube to pinch. This gives you the great comfort, the pliability to absorb road imperfection (which improves speed), and less likelihood of puncture.

As an approximate pressure guide:

# weight in kg. front load probably 0.45 (45%). tyre width in mm
weight_front = weight * front_wheel_load
weight_rear = weight * (1 - front_wheel_load)

psi_front = (338.14 * weight_front / tyre_width ** 1.5785) - 7.1685
psi_rear = (338.14 * weight_rear / tyre_width ** 1.5785) - 7.1685

This should ballpark you 15% tyre deflection under load, which was a guide from an old bike magazine on a balance of rolling resistance and comfort.
Makes my day to see this company on HN. Their Barlow Pass tires in tubeless setup have been an excellent addition to my commute bike. Supple, great handling. There's an efficiency lost on a gravel setup vs road bike, but that's mostly the geometry than the tire.
And yet they don't make uBlock Origin a pre-installed plugin for 500 million mysterious reasons.

A good training template is basically what you’re looking for.

> What you've forgotten here is that doubling or tripling the carrying capacity of electrical infrastructure isn't a trivial task.

This has been studied recently, and the supposedly numbers aren't crazy:

> The increase in transmission needs as renewable electricity supply grows, for all 80%-by-2050 renewable electricity scenarios, result in an average annual projected transmission and interconnection investment that is within the recent historical range for total investor-owned utility transmission expenditures in the United States (i.e., $2 billion/yr to $9 billion/yr from 1995 through 2008) (Pfeifenberger et al. 2009).

> New transmission in the high renewable electricity scenarios was found to be concentrated in the middle and southwestern regions of the United States, mainly to access the high-quality wind and solar resources in those regions and to deliver generation from those resources to load centers.

> It's actually "hlyab" / "hleb", without the extra "k".

Not to worry, it's just transliterated like that because it's a velar fricative, sort of like—but not completely similar to—the Ch-sound in the German word ach. In any case I think you'll agree that it's pretty distinct from the breathy H-sound commonly found in Germanic languages.

> He used to say Norwegian is very similar to English. Is that true?

Yes and no. Bessides both being Germanic languages, English has a ton of Germanic loan-words from the viking age, and indeed older related words from the Saxons themselves. This makes part of the languages familiar to each other, and thus easier to learn. But really, the thing that makes English the most easy to learn for Scandinavians is the lack of dubbing on British and American films and TV shows over here. Being smaller nations, it's viewed as more economic to simply subtitle foreign shows. On the other hand, the guys who seems to have the easiest time learning Norwegian, outside other Scandinavians, are the Dutch. On the other hand English has way more Latin and French loanwords than in Scandinavian (though, granted, Swedish probably have more modern French loanwords due to their French lineage king).

You've got a similar situation, if you picture the different Slavic languages, such as Polish vs Bulgarian. I bet you think Bulgarian is easier to learn than Polish. Correct me if I'm wrong. :)
I mean any package team who harasses people exercising rights they've explicitly granted is a bit concerning.
> in theory, wider tires are faster due to their shorter contact patch, which deforms less as they roll

What is meant by "contact patch"? If it means 'portion of tire in contact with the ground': Assuming the tires are the same circumference, I'd expect the front-to-back dimension of the contact area to be the same, and being a wider tire, the side-to-side contact dimension to be larger, creating a larger contact area.

And given equal force on the tires, wouldn't the same force deform a smaller contact area more, not less? What am I misunderstanding?

> Laboratory tests on steel drums eliminate the rider and thus the suspension losses. If you look at hysteretic losses alone, narrow tires run at higher pressures and thus flex less, meaning they absorb less energy.

> We tested on real roads, with a rider on the bike, and found that the increased vibrations of the narrower tires caused energy losses that canceled out the gains from the reduced flex. These suspension losses are mostly absorbed in the rider’s body.

How do hysteretic losses apply here?

And, why does the increased vibration cause energy losses (which I take to mean reduced efficiency of energy used for movement)? If the energy is absorbed by the tire or is transferred via other bicycle components to the rider, what's the difference in energy loss/efficiency?
> use rain water for the toilets

I'm curious about why that's not allowed
The main thing I get out of it is super amazing fuzzy-search of my terminal history. Normally with bash's built in CTRL-R reverse history search, you pretty much have to know EXACTLY what you're searching for, and if there are a lot of similar commands between the most recently run match for a search and the one you're ACTUALLY searching for, you may have a really hard time finding it since you have to go backwards through the commands one at a time. For myself and many people, we were getting really good at typing `history | grep '<regex>'`, maybe with more pipes to grep for further refinement.

But with fzf[1], that whole workflow of searching through your history is probably two orders of magnitude faster. Now you hit CTRL-R and you start typing any random part of the command you're trying to remember. If there was some other part of the command you remember, hit space and type that search term after the first search term. FZF will then show you the last 10-ish matches for all the search params you just typed, AND it will have done all this with no UI lag, no hitching, and lightning fast.

I don't know what other people use FZF for, as this is the SINGLE feature that's so good I can't live without it anymore.

Yeah the reason they stay in the higher range is because they're pumping from a source of higher temperature in the first place. They're also more effective at air conditioning because they're pumping into a cooler medium.

Fully agree here - I would say that I am a bit shocked at the lack of regulation regarding access to people’s identity documents as compared to credit cards. Credit/debit cards are your money, and there’s an entire network of both regulations and intermediaries working against fraud in this space.

Your identity can create new credit cards. It can take out loans. It is inherently a higher order security risk, and therefore should by default have more restrictions. I as a consumer trust Stripe to do the right thing, but I do not trust its customers. This seems to be the most reasonable stance, but yet the policy does not reflect that. I am concerned that this wedges open a really big new avenue for cybercrime without having any sort of regulations in place a-la PCI audits.

Any idea how this works compared to eg GNU sort --parallel? (or clever tricks with partial sort and merge)?

I'm guessing rg can be faster in general - because of less memory allocation/copying by sorting before outputting?

Nice catch. Not sure if you're making fun of the fact that it took so long to record all the takes for this video, but 1.5 hours seems reasonable. As an amateur, it would probably have taken me 4-5 hours to record that.
Must be one hell of a remodel then, considering Teams is an electron application.
I'm considering this too but I might just wait till the beginning of 2022 hoping thats when the entire world opens up. I can't break my lease before November, so that helps me stay at my job. So many ideas though for 2022,

1. Cycle Eurovelo 6

2. Drive through the Pan American Highway

3. Learn different things at different places, Muay Thai in Thailand, surfing in Bali, Kali in the Philipines

4. Just travel doing nothing for a few months and then try 12 month 12 startups or something.
I think this piece, referenced in one of the comments to the one you reference, is particularly on point:

If they’re causing you problems, consider replacing them. Otherwise I’d just wait until you get a flat — no point in spending money on something which isn’t a problem. You’re commuting so you’re reliably putting on mileage without [presumably] getting in to dodgy situations or trying to shave every second or gram off.
Nobody knew what Google+ was.

'Company A strategy vs. Company B' is not something 'people' think or know about.

That's something for people in the industry to think about.

Ask your mother or father who work in Real Estate and Healthcare what 'Google+' is (back in the day) and they wouldn't really know.

And nobody knew what Wave was. I used it and couldn't understand it, other than it was a means to communicate with other people. Colossal product marketing, usability and communications failure.
Interesting, some of those older tank-less systems only kicked in if the flow rate was high enough. I used to have a really old tank-less system from the 1940s, it was just a heat exchanger in my oil heating steam boiler. This was massively inefficient, but it did provide infinite hot water..

My only complaint with my new (2013) tank gas hot water, is that the tank already cracked and had to be replaced. It was not cheap: $2200. This is a rip-off, but contractors are expensive. I think the new tank-less systems are supposed to be more reliable than traditional tank heaters.
> However, the fact that this stuff happens repeatedly for Christian institutions and rarely (almost never, in fact) for others is not something that escapes me.

Probably just because there are a lot of Christian institutions.
The easiest solution I see is to write a custom screen-lock for Linux. That could be defeated by a simple reboot, but the hapless roommate in this scenario wouldn't know to do that.

I feel the notion of "I don't want to deal with HTTPS" is mostly to blame on the ridiculous UX of cert management in the past. The act of creating a CSR alone using openssl is reason enough to justify the emotional rejection of HTTPS.

Since I switched all my setups to Caddy [1] using HTTPS by default has become an absolute no-brainer and nothing to care about, as it simply happens automatically due to its built-in ACME support.

If you're going OVER imperfections (i.e. high pressure tyres), you lose some energy going 'up'.

If you go THROUGH imperfections (lower pressure) you don't lose so much energy going 'up' as the tyre absorbs rather than bounces you.
So, I wasn’t thinking Apple or Google when I wrote this because those are giant companies that hire globally. Most of Apples profit comes from products produced far from the valley. That said, I’ve worked with lots of veterans of Apple and Google and there quite literally is no correlation between having worked at those companies and being good. I believe that the current hiring environment in software is so broken that being hired by someone is effectively arbitrary.

Similarly Microsoft and Amazon are not valley creations but are giant profitable companies that hire tech workers from a wide variety of regions.

When you hire as much of the industry as those companies do its not at all surprising that the talent in them runs the gamut. They represent so much of the industry it would be near impossible not to have a big distribution of talent within them.

But when you get into the rest of the ecosystem is when it gets pretty ugly pretty fast. So far as I can see the biggest correlative factor with engineers in the valley is a capacity to move there. That filter does not trend towards being good at the job. And I’ll stand by my anecdotal opinion.

I think the more amazing thing that some firms are able to overcome this talent problem is that it took a global pandemic for the opinion it being an issue to change.
Not just in Visual Studio. main is usually (always?) not the entry point on unixoid systems either, that's much more likely to be _start, which calls main() down the line.

Nevertheless, main is treated specially by the compiler for the aforementioned historical reasons, for example to not warn/error out if it does not return a value despite the type clearly telling so.

Observe:

% echo 'int main(void) { }' > foo.c; clang -c foo.c

<no output>

% echo 'int foo(void) { }' > foo.c; clang -c foo.c

foo.c:1:17: warning: non-void function does not return a value [-Wreturn-type]

int foo(void) { }
^
1 warning generated.

As you can see, clang is happy to ignore the missing return value for main(), but not for foo().
Or they wish to extend the powers to detain, arrest and issue fines so that they can be based on over-broad and ill-defined premises.

My issue with Matrix is the philsophy attached to it. The founders and its most vitriolic supports are activists, through and through, and view Signal as a messaging app for activists.

When the Cellebrite malware was added to Signal by the developer(s) I mentioned that Cellebrite was used by legitimate phone carriers to transfer data between an old phone and a new phone.

I asked why my elderly mother, with whom I speak to over Signal, should be liable for a potentially broken Cellebrite machine (costing thousands) if the Signal malware were to break it. There's no precedent on whether or not she'd be liable, so there's a possibility she would be.

She never consented to her phone being used as a weapon. She doesn't understand the stuff going on. She uses Signal because it's simple, easy to understand, I'm just a few button presses away (we don't live near each other) and the call quality is unmatched.

I got a few very angry responses, telling me to uninstall Signal if I wasn't willing to be an activist for their agenda. They were perfectly okay with their philosophy being projected onto their users and didn't see any issue in the fact that users did not consent to it.

Which is strange, because they're annoyed with other Big Tech firms doing... well, the same exact thing.

I really hope Matrix improves its UX since I would immediately switch my family over to it if they could just understand how it worked.
Millennials: The Blamed Generation
Yeah it really is hilarious in a way, because you can take many business owners' constant blathering about the so-called free market and throw it right back in their faces:

"No one wants to work for poverty wages in my shitty restaurant!" Sucks bro, that's the market. Raise your wages.

"If I raise my wages I can't stay in business!" Sucks bro, that's the market. Make your restaurant less shitty and get more business. Innovate. This is just competition - we like a little competition in America. You're not against America, are you?

They're just as reactive / emotional as the liberals they decry for being emotional. I know that schadenfreude isn't a workable foundation for a political outlook, but watching these people become ever so slightly uncomfortable about their position in the world before we inevitably return to pre-Covid status quo ante is worth a good chuckle.
> Otherwise, why is critique of the center different from attacking the left or the right?

Presmably the OP meant "it's crazy to attack the center with equal fervor that one applies to the opposite extreme". E.g., leftists attacking everyone to their right as uniformly "far right", using language like "white supremacist" and "literal Nazi" to describe anyone who is not far-left, etc.
