vessels are only allowed to drop anchor for 72 hours, according to a law codified in 1987 by the Richardson’s Bay Regional Agency. After that, they are supposed to leave for at least a week before returning to drop anchor again.

Problem is, that law wasn’t really enforced in the quarter of a century that former Harbormaster Bill Price patrolled Richardson Bay.

After Price retired in July 2019, the RBRA hired Havel to finally implement the anchorage’s 72-hour time limit and to ensure that every vessel in the harbor is seaworthy — a contentious term among seamen, especially those living, working, or recreating on Richardson Bay.

[...]

Generally speaking, these guidelines are meant to determine whether a vessel is “a risk to life, limb, or property” and/or poses “an environmental hazard.” While these rules are ostensibly in place to protect humans, wildlife, and the broader ecosystem, the anchor-outs of Richardson Bay say the RBRA is unfairly targeting those living on their boats while ignoring other abandoned, derelict, and drifting vessels. This accusation recalls critiques of other so-called “poverty taxes” — regulations that may pose something of an inconvenience to individuals with means but threaten the very livelihoods of the poor.
Exactly. It is nice for "flex-work"--go walk the dog or run some errands or something, but still be "semi-available" for questions, but not "at the computer".
OneNote has free-hand drawing as it's primary mode and it does that well, but still it fails at being a whiteboard.

I don't think it's haptics, I think it's the spacial layout and the social interaction around the board - I can see if you follow along as I draw or talk, I can see where you are looking, I can point out something already drawn, you can point something I have already drawn, you can draw something on top of my drawing, we can easily take turns without trampling each other. I can also get back to it the next day and point something out during a follow-up discussion; the board being in the exact physical location helps jog the memory.

There is also something about the large space. Drawing in OneNote on the iPad I technically get more space, but I still feel cramped. Next to a large whiteboard I feel like there is no limit to it, and it opens up my mind. Maybe it's just being close to a large surface I can't see the edges so I'm not thinking about them. If this theory is right then a relatively cheap 21" designer drawing tablet might prove to be a superior whiteboard compared to the 10" iPad.
That surprised me. Not exactly sure what other options there are, maybe impounding them somewhere but they would just accrue fees that couldn't be paid and probably be destroyed or auctioned (if anyone actually wanted them).
> I was having a look today and one of the biggest gainers YTD with a market cap of ~$15.25B was GameStop... yeah ummmm okay... that makes sense.

Gamestop is clearly an exception. Of course silly stuff happens with stocks.

> Cryptocurrencies are also used everyday no? And since it's not going away any time soon, seems as though

They're not used for anything other than speculation, crime, money laundering, scams and BS like NFTs and cryptokitties though.

> these young people are smart taking advantage of this crypto market early, before regulations kick in.

Not sure what you're saying here. You think regulations are going to send values higher so they're smart getting in early? Or you think they're smart taking advantages of all the volatility before regulation puts a stop to all that? If the first then you're wrong. If the second then you're just encouraging gambling.

Also, I challenge anyone to go and spend a few minutes browsing /r/cryptocurrency and come away with the impression that "these young people are smart".
The best way to get cash out is to not get cash out. You run "business expenses" through the company: laptops, your internet, cell phone, monitors (maybe you need a really big one, like a TV size.) Get creative. It's like getting a ~40% discount on everything you buy that way, since you're paying with pre-tax money. If you're lucky, you'll have very little profit. Pay yourself a small distribution with some of the remaining cash.
> Thanks! I was trying to really push the idea of having it be almost a business book with code snippets. When I went through college, you could either study business or study software. But these days being good at both is kind of table stakes

1. I will buy a business book with code snippets

2. I am biased abt 1, because I also agree with the premise that being good at both (or at least passable) is table stakes these days
To be honest, I just assumed the "Live" service was a subscription but it actually does appear to be one-time.

I should note, however, that it seems the drive is built in and not easily user replaceable/swappable, so it's not really "however many terabytes you want".

Thanks for the laugh. To miss the point so amazingly, it's beautiful.

Woeeee is you, you struggled sooooooo hard and now some random person tells you that you only made it because X and that will somehow social disparity... because?

What, you're going to be extra mean to people who aren't in your social strata or something now? Like us vs them or something?

I mean, you realize:

Suppose you're middle class, and you haul ass to get ahead. You're not born into abject poverty or anything, but you really DID need to work hard. And some asshole, who probably hasn't worked nearly as hard as you, comes around and tells you "well, you made it because you're white, male, or tall" or whatever (I, personally am only one of those things).

Thats... that's me. Literally word for word. Down to "one of those things". Or did you... not realize most of the comment is not about me?

Someone tells me that I only made it because I'm male and I won't even give them the time of day! How often is this happening to you that you're crying about it?!

And if I was forced to reply, it's so easy to say the absolute truth: being male didn't hurt! Like holy shit, I struggled and sacrificed but being male never hurt!

Maybe that's what's really hurting you? The fact that despite struggling, there's some property of your path that was out of your control but made the path easier? Yup that's how it is.

No one is 100% self-made. Being cognizant of that helps you be a better person.

Public-facing Synology devices got hit in the past too, but they just used it to mine Litecoin. I think someone calculated it and figured out that it cost something like $400k in electricity to mine $100k of coins on the boxes.

Aha! It was $600k in dogecoin in 2014

https://www.pcworld.com/article/2364120/hacked-synology-nas-...

That’s worth around $125m today (assuming straight hodling).
I think it would work. The IRA would either need to be a 401(k) rollover (MAGI limit, again), or from before.
That's better than what Chappelle's was reported be.

What's mindboggling to me is the sheer number of spy satellites that were more or less each equivalent to Hubble.

There are estimated to have been something like seventeen of the KH-11 satellites, each one of which cost something like 2/3s of a Nimitz class aircraft carrier.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KH-11_Kennen

And there are an unknown number of its successor, but probably at least 3, where they updated it for stealth.

It feels like a parallel universe where what is a technical struggle and tour de force here, is churned out by the dozens.
Microsoft had unified their software architecture across various form factors.

So xbox, (phones?), tablets, laptops, desktops, servers ran the same Windows essentially with different shells.

Windows also supports multiple hardware architectures - we just need the external ecosystem to thrive as well. We see it in graphics with nvidia and amd but compute/cpu progress limped through most of 2012-2018?.
Does it come with any guarantees of lifetime for those patches though? Is there any reason that Apple can’t drop support in two years?
That would be a silly point. Puts don't even show up in the short interest and are a great way to short a stock.
Learning how to not work. I realized that sitting down on the couch caused me anxiety as if I wasn't getting shit done.

Once I forced myself to be okay with "I'm taking an hour off right now", I started to re-learn how to relax.
I’ve seen this a couple times and, whatever Tesla’s plans might be, the current Tesla lineup is not a “rent extraction” scheme: the only subscription is the option to pay for cell connectivity for media and a couple other things.

If anything, it’s traditional manufacturers like BMW ( https://www.businessinsider.com/bmw-subscription-model-for-f... ) that are pushing for this, not Tesla.
Once again you are leaving out an important detail. The amount of money that you pay the tax on for a Roth is often orders of magnitude less than a traditional IRA, regardless of rate. You are avoiding A LOT more tax with a Roth. It's a fixed initial payment with a Roth, yet it scales indefinitely with a traditional IRA. It's a huge difference.
I wonder how difficult it would be to make something similar that generated 3D models. Most of the examples look like they'd make good video game levels.
Ask HN: How to manage disagreements in job and daily life?
I am not from the US. As a manager, I got feedback beforehand that I should not tell people what to do and use authority as bank balance. My manager told me that I should let chaos happen, let engineers make mistakes and then jump to resolve.

I take reverse approach where I am trying to be protective of the team.

Lately, I see number of disagreements that I am seeing with me or within my team or org has increased. No one agrees to anything. People just argue endlessly without reaching the conclusion. Then, one or two people take charge and whole things get done that way and others either grunt or support them. Yet, later they blame manager for not going things their way.

So, the question is, how to handle disagreements? I don’t like constant arguments and discussions. I rather prefer getting things done. Please suggest.
Ketamine and the Return of the Party-State
This is why I sold a website making about $150/mo in ad revenue for $5k. I knew the site could make more, but had other things on the go and I couldn't spend the time on the site to improve it.

The person that bought it from me did make those changes and did make more money, but I just didn't have the time to get there. Win-win for me
Can't wait for my 3$ as compensation for losing all the data. Seriously now. A class action lawsuit should end with the culprit being out of business in cases of extreme negligence like this one. Anything less just incentivizes them to weight "risk/benefit" of not doing anything

> How does Devise handle 'revoke all sessions for this user'?

The cookie has both user id and a special token which IIRC is a substring of the user's password salt. Retrieving current user from cookie includes not only looking up by id, but also verifying the salt. So if you change the password, the salt is also changed and all the old sessions will stop working.

Imagine if your cryptocurrency wallet or passwords was on this cloud only system. It is designed to backup your data on the cloud and then it deletes it instead.

Not even their cloud is doing well for its self then. Exactly why I kept on pushing for self-hosted systems; in this case a local NAS.

I was never clear on how much difference it made. Either you pay (say) 20% up front or you pay 20% later. With compound growth multiplying in the middle, does it really make a difference to how much you have at the end?

0.8 * (1.07 ^ 20) == (1.07 ^ 20) * 0.8
Yep, and I’m sure dang has silenced some people talking about [what they perceived as] human right abuses because that poster was [in dang’s subjective judgement] talking in a way that harmed the health of the community.

I stick around this forum because I trust dang’s subjective judgement to be broadly wise. Partly because this is because the one time they chastised me I re-read my comment, gave it a second thought, and concluded “yep, thats easily-misinterpreted enough that someone with broader context on the overall health of this forum should remove it.”

Oh, one of this new age bullshit generators. How cute!

But: As long as the machine doesn't understand what it does this won't work—and current reality is that machines are still light-years away form actually understanding stuff.

Also besides it's very funny to watch one of those bullshit generators I'm not sure where the point is in trying to let it generate code. It's obvious it won't produce anything of value or even usable (besides the most trivial cases where it had seen already a valid answer). Especially as writing a machine understandable specification of what at computer should do is actually CODE… Maybe some don't know but: Just typing in the code is not what developers usually get payed for! ;-)
> Yay because being trans is all about being raunchy hey ho

To be fair, while that is a common attitude toward trans identity, it’s also a common attitude toward humor (that is, lots of people equate good jokes with raunchy ones.) It’s hard to tell which consideration is in play.

> "That's easy" says the fourth lady. "A player is in an offside position if any of their body parts, except the hands and arms, are in the opponents' half of the pitch, and closer to the opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent".

But that is just explaining offside position, which is only part of the offside rule.

Oh, that makes sense. Your explanation made me realize I was assuming a few things about the language that apparently aren't true. Thank you.
That’s fun! Yeah, I buy it, but to the extent it works as a counterargument I’d say it’s actually more of an inevitability.

Could not read full article due to paywall, but the claim that Mantel made a positive contribution to Historical Fiction is hard for me to agree with it. Her text is sparse and abstract (that is it is absent the historical context, and concrete depictions of minutiae of the time period), lacking in poetry, her characters speak, think and act as they were living in our times, that I have a hard time considering it as historical fiction itself.
What modern Historical Fiction aspires to the grandeur of the works of Walter Scott?

They do, indirectly because market makers hedge the puts they sell by shorting the underlying.

Very exciting stuff. I wonder if it'd be possible to bottle this CO2 and sell it to vertical farms (to produce bottled oxygen for hospitals or for their own plants or whatever) or diamond makers or some such. Would such a thing be possible?
no, I didn't. I just assumed they were slow to do the migration.
The price should include the cost of everyone who works at the business.

Tipping is just a way for businesses to avoid having to pay their workers and instead pass that responsibility onto the customer.
For what it's worth: the company (HR in particular) logs everything you do, so that in the unlikely case they need to justify firing you, they have ammunition. Even if it's unrelated to the real reason.

This is especially true of companies with sensitive contracts, data, or relationships where they have all kinds of reasons to want to cover their butts. They may intentionally ignore you doing something you shouldn't, just to silently build a case and keep it in a back pocket.
Can they try going the Apple way and banning alternate app stores and sideloading in subsequent versions of Android? What then?
At least in 2019, you could say there's clearly a surplus of low-skilled labor. In 2021, it's a lot more mixed because of people relocating due to covid, so it hasn't quite settled down yet, and there are genuine unskilled labor shortages in large metros. It's gonna be a brutal snap back, or there will be an even larger class of nuemployable, due to covid-driven automation.
This should really trigger some kind of mass recall like what is done for cars when there is a safety issue. WD should be obligated to try to make contact with every user of the product to refund them.
Yes, of course. It’s turtles all the way down - that’s how the incumbent exchanges do it too :)
Curious if this could be used to generate UI mocks. Pass in a whiteboard sketch and you get the mocks out.
From what I can find, this particular device was launched around 2011, and went end of support pre-2016.

(Although potentially something that in hindsight WD would have wanted to patch anyway - assuming end users patch things).

And maybe highlights that support lifecycles for IoT devices should be longer.

Correction: End-of-Support appears to be last manufacture date (2015) + 3 years, so assuming 2018.
Dumb hard disks are still fine I'd guess. Just don't go for any "smart", connected or networked device. I have several plain backup HDDs from WD and they, IME, have been more reliable than Seagate from a hardware point of view.

Why? I find this species and human existence to be intolerable and loathsome. I think humans are shit. I have hated being alive for decades, and have held on for too long only to see everything deteriorate.

In my view, it's better to self terminate now and save resources. To be clear, I am destitute and have zero intention nor desire to participate in human culture again. It's why I gave everything away in preparation for suicide.

__Practical Reasons__

I've dealt with unresolved bullying and abuse for decades and decided enough was enough. Past the point of no return now.

I also have an untreatable medical condition that has wrecked my quality of life for decades.

Hoping to finally do it this time. Too many false starts.
Off the top of my head, what I'd like to use:

WhatsApp or whatever other messaging apps. Banking apps. Pocket. Actually decent ebook reader. Actually decent podcast app.

At all the jobs I've had, any code that I write using company-owned resources, even if done on my time, the company asserts ownership over. I like to work on open source projects on the weekends, and so that absolutely requires a non-work computer.
Thanks for detailed reply. A bit late, though. I don't intend to return back to normal. I don't wish to exist off of the system. This leaves one option: self-termination.

As per other comment, I find human existence to be disgusting.

This is not by any means an acute decision. Years in the making. I ran out of food money a few days ago knowing I'd face this decision yet again.
Parametric study of pulsed laser deposited (PLD) WSe2 2D transistors
So this reminds me of the dude that was doing repairs on teslas from a few years ago -- The Rogue Tesla Mechanic Resurrecting Salvaged Cars [0]. He runs a channel called Rich Rebuilds[1] (I'm not a subscriber) a company in New Hampshire that specializes in repairing Teslas, and has a recent video on his relationship with Tesla (and the community of fans)[2] (which I haven't seen yet, but watching now).

I don't follow this channel but I do not remember Tesla being particularly encouraging of the trend, similar to other defacto closed ecosystems. They're definitely not egregious but just a little bit closed-by-default.

How do you handle brew? It makes all the /usr/local/bin stuff belong to the regular user which installed it. Other users had trouble working with brew-installed stuff, last time I tried a few years ago.
I've seen similar hiring practices in a few companies for line workers (who were qualified staff), but never for management positions.

Essentially the companies overhired by a factor and then did practices such as pair or team programming. Credentials were seen but not given special treatment, and while there was an entry test, it was minimal and meant only to not waste time of the people hiring.

The elite positions were always handled very differently for no particularly good reason beyond conservatism and elitism.
