Yeah, timer or grid controlled water heaters are old and busted (especially with bacteria concerns due to a lack of in tank convection). New hotness are heat pump water heaters that are very efficient and can even add cool air to a conditioned spaces by their inherent operation. Electric vehicle charging orchestrated as large aggregate loads are what replaces “the humble water heater.”

Tankless heaters are great if you’re burning gas, but electric versions are wildly inefficient versus a heat pump and require very large circuits and service entrances on the load center/breaker panel.

Six months after reports of Parler's API-based data breach, you'd think it would have at least been on their minds.
Large tanks are cheap, square feet of residential space are expensive. Tankless water heaters work well when powered by nat gas, but if you want electric it’s not great.

I’ve been intending to do solar water heating, and convert from gas to electric, but the old heater gave out at the wrong time. So the current plan is build the solar and make a new place to move the electric tank into, then use the other tank for extra storage of the solar heated water. The good news about climate change is that I never have to worry about the pipes freezing any more.

Does multi user posix really get much use still? And should it? The model is how old now and we're still finding vulnerabilities more or less by design. Computers are so cheap that almost everyone has one in their pocket, and most in the first world own 2-3. Multi user operating systems just don't seem relevant anymore.
> I don't see why he would be more qualified to assess the pros/cons of the GPL than the Linux and GCC authors.

I don't think he is. I would be equally frustrated if Linus Torvalds made an argument about the pros and cons of each license and people replied with generic proselytism.

My point isn't that Carmack's status means people should automatically listen to him. I'm saying he made a thought-out argument, based on practical considerations, and the way most people answered didn't really address the argument, so much as re-state a previous held belief that license X is better than license Y.

I have a few servers that I have in a rack in my basement for various projects and work that I do. I ended up having to cool it in the summer so I made a small room around it to limit the amount I had to cool.

When I replaced my water heater, I went with the hybrid model and dropped the AC. The room stays cool, my water heater uses less power on average and I don't have to fire up the ac unit at all.

Curating Curation
I think Netflix doesn’t have enough content to do this. They have their own originals and just a thin layer of other stuff.

So I think any truly personalized content channel would get exhausted quickly.

What I’d like to have is just a channel of curated or semi curated movie content that I can leave running or forward through to watch.

I recently stayed in a hotel with 6 channels of hbo. It’s kind of refreshing to have “hbo comedy” with random stuff like Beverly Hills cop and billy Madison on at 2pm in the afternoon.

Netflix doesn’t have enough content to do this, so they keep recommending the same crap originals to me over and over, knowing that I don’t watch them.

Vendor lock-in makes switching if a better option comes along significantly more difficult.

At the same time, the near-guarantee of the vendor that has the lock means they have far fewer incentives to be responsive to changing needs by the client.

In addition, given the lock-in, whenever 3 or 5 years maintenance agreement contracts near their end, the Vendor has significant leverage to demand more $$$ for pretty much the same level of service.

The overall result is a lower quality product that can eventually put the buyer years behind the current best-of-breed capabilities, all at a significantly higher cost.

I found that the book "The Technology Trap: Capital, Labor, and Power in the Age of Automation" by Carl Benedikt Frey offers a well constructed historical scenario where the current situation we are fits in.

Going into a more polar and personal view, I think that there are not enough jobs at the moment for the western people. So we create them, and handout "fake" rewards for them. Why? Because work has a social utility to provide purpose for individuals. Since we haven't yet found a stable social solution for people not working and having purpose, we are living in a limbo which we might never exit. It also appears from afar, that the is a void to fill in most institutions and that smart people are not being incentivized to fill them

Hi there! Can you email me at catheryn@ycombinator.com with a screenshot so we can figure out what's wrong?
While I agree democratized 24/7 stock settlement would be cool; It's hard to believe an investment seeking startup would want what's best for the common man - hopefully at least better than wall street does.
I like politely disagreeing conversations - they are more productive! So, thanks.

I get your gist, but I don't agree. The analogy I think of in this case is ancient Greece - let's say Athens. Imagine a precocious boy who discovers he can walk on the ocean floor by fitting an inverted bowl over his head and breathing the trapped air there for a time. He continues to innovate, and attaches a hose. He makes discoveries!

Thrilled by his success, he pitches the idea of making an underwater map of the entire Mediterranean! The benefits would be vast, to all the sciences, and would make the sea safer to travel. All the problems can be solved: too deep? Longer hose! With enough ships, enough diving bells, and divers, there is nothing physically impossible about doing this.

But of course, it's not worth doing. Such a project could have consumed an entire economy indefinitely. To attempt it prematurely would have been folly - a folly we call pride. The Mediterranean Sea is not that big compared to other bodies of water on Earth, but it is still truly vast, effectively infinite, on a human scale. Even with modern equipment a full mapping of the Med is a truly daunting task.

SpaceX is doing excellent work changing the economics of delivering goods to orbit by a factor of 10x or 100x. But even so, we are still at the diving bell level - or even worse - when it comes to space exploration and colonization. I DO NOT believe it makes sense for us, the modern Athenians, to even start spending enormous sums mapping the Med with sailboats and diving bells.

This is called a "droud" or a "tasp," and it is a terrible idea. It's the perfect drug, and you'll lose all the things pain is there for, like protecting you from harm.

I'm not anti-drug, but some mechanisms are outside the human's capacity for self control, and pain remediation is one of those.

I don't think there is a philosophical agreement on what constitutes "individualism", so I won't try to speak to that.

However, for the purpose of this discussion, we are talking about a society's relative tolerance of individuals choosing to live their life the way they wish and a relatively weak emphasis on social conformity.

I'm sure someone has done proper quantitative research on this, but offhand, I think the Netherlands would score pretty high.

P.S. I used "Western standards" to differentiate from developed Asian nations like Japan, Korea, and Singapore which are more conformist.

It's fair to say Augustine did more reconciling with Neoplatonism. Aquinas did some. I think Aquinas was more wary of relying too heavily upon a philosophy that he saw as incomplete. Even "the philosopher" could not provide a comprehensive framework for Christian philosophy. When Neoplatonism was useful, he would take parts here and there, but he was under no illusion that Neoplatonism provided a sufficient framework for understanding the world. The early Italian renaissance philosophers were far more taken with Plato and the Neoplatonists. Marsilio Ficino, for example, probably went too far trying to reconcile parts that were (arguably) fundamentally incompatible with Christianity.

Yes. One use case is application sandboxing; the users aren't separate people, but separate programs. Eg on Android, each app is a "user", and Linux filesystem permissions are used to control what the apps can do. But there are also a few instances where you still see the different-users-ssh-into-the-same-server model; for example that server might be controlling a cluster, and have users ssh'ing in to do otherwise-slow computations.

TEN YEARS ago Peter Turchin, a scientist at the University of Connecticut, made a startling prediction in Nature. “The next decade is likely to be a period of growing instability in the United States and western Europe,”

On the contrary, I'd claim relative instability was predicted by a fairly large group. The decline of the US has been described and predicted across the political spectrum. Gridlock was a pretty visible thing ten or thirty years ago.

pointing in part to the “overproduction of young graduates with advanced degrees”

This is an ...uh, bizarre definition of "elites". The elites are broadly rulers, the owners specialized, etc - those consuming and managing a significant portion of a society's resources.

As far back as ancient Rome and imperial China, Mr Turchin shows, societies have veered from periods of political stability to instability, often at intervals of about 50 years.

Things go up and things go down. A remarkably prescient view /s.

This article reads like "collapse of complex societies"[1] for idiots. Where lots of young people with PhDs figure in these speculations is hard to say (I mean, this is small of any elite overreach). It's sad how many poor quality articles like this one have been popping up here lately. I suggest the original Tainter as well as Jared Diamond's Collapse, at the least.

Edit: I should also note The Economist may well be misstating Mr Turchin's on elites but this is the linked article.

Giving a company daily scans of your face is much worse than a credit card number. Your face can't be changed, and can be used to identify in public (at least while you're walking around). Meanwhile a credit card number can be changed at will (just call your bank), and can't be used to identify you in public. If a company holding your credit card number gets hacked, that can be resolved with a 10 minute call to you bank. Good luck undoing a hack after they stole high quality training data (deepfakes? surveillance?) for your face.

- C pitfalls, probably documented all over the place.

- C idioms. These are hard to locate for most languages; I wouldn't know where to look in case of C.

- Kernel-specific C idioms. This is probably easy to locate and well documented, but I'd still expect it to be several thousand words.

- Code formatting tools. Are there any canonical formatting tools for C, or is it fragmented like for most older languages?

- How to test C code, which IIRC requires jumping through quite a few hoops.

- How to deal with text, which is a nightmare outside of ASCII in most languages.
