It’s roughly comparable for extraction cost for comparable weight: large variation depending on circumstances, etc. but you need 63 kg of Lithium for a Telsa that should drive a million miles. You’d need 50 thousand gallons of gas (200,000 L or 160 tons) to cover the same distance. So about three thousands times worst. The lifecycle balance isn’t something you can draw at scale on a high-definition screen and have the electric impact occupy more than a pixel or two.

Same for Cobalt: it used to be used to make batteries, so there are worrisome stories but the metal is also something that refineries put in gas so… kinda the same: you are comparing a component with a consumable.

Finally, you mention China, or you could have asked about Chile to, for Lithium. Neither are really the largest producers. They sure sound politically scary but it’s harder to paint Australia has a dangerous dictature. Scary countries aren’t the biggest marginal plan if prices go up: the reserves in Canada and USA are more promising.

So yeah: shifting to those technologies will force a big geopolitical change and the executives at fossil fuel companies who boasted being accused of war crimes as a sign of commitment a sure way to advance their careers in front of large group including me (sic) might have a bit of a reckoning. I’ll let you guess which war zone, environmental disaster there were talking so causally about, because they are so many — hint: they were also accused of genocide there; except that’s not really a helpful hint, is it? The oil barons in the Gulf who routinely use slavery and prostitue girls as young as 7 or 8, both in broad daylight, might have to change their lifestyle too.

Some people think that having a CEO posting weird meme on twitter, or advocating for long shift to end [see paragraph above] is unacceptable. Sure, it’s improvable as far as leadership goes, but… I like to ask: what’s the alternative? If we don’t have that, what do we have? In my case, it’s the eyes of a little girl, dragged through the hall of a luxurious hotel in Dubai. The documentarian who filmed and commented that scene had no doubt what was happening, or who paid for it: he did, every time he filled his tank.

Totally agreed. You basically digest food better this way, and use the most of your food, good advices (eating when you feel like it, and only how much you need)

People will often turn to a lot of physical exercises when they want to lose weight, but the important part is your food consumption, minimal exercise is of course still a good idea

One could argue that faults in the engineering and construction are also a fact of life, yet that doesn't mean we excuse them and it doesn't mean that assume that a failure is due to those faults. Investigations are performed in order to ascertain the truth.

I think the authors comparison to the historical development of trains is appropriate. Investigating IT failures wasn't as important 50 years ago because IT infrastructure was not as critical. Investigating IT failures today is critical because the functioning of society depends upon it.
I'm not sure where this perspective comes from. Rust is growing extremely quickly, far outside the HN bubble.

Rust is used by, and financially supported by, many of the learning companies in the technology industry: Microsoft, Google, Facebook, AWS, Dropbox, and others. It's being piloted for use in the Linux kernel and is already accepted into Android.

Unlike Ada, its development was never bootstrapped by public funds and so all of its growth is due to its practical benefits.

I don't know why fighter planes are the standard to reach, but Rust is even being used in aerospace: both Rocketlab and SpaceX have made public statements supporting Rust or are hiring people with Rust expertise.

No, as a sysadmin your job is to deliver a working system. To do that it usually helps to understand how the system works, but it's not a necessity. As long as something keeps working, and you're equipped to go digging if and when it's necessary, it's fine to not understand or know how something works.

> All this will do is drive up the cost of housing as remote workers compete for it, driving out the locals.

Rural America is huge. If every single person in New York city got themselves a suburban house, they'd take up 0.1% of the United States (about the area of two counties).

Housing is expensive in cities because 10 million people want to live in the same square mile. The US, however, has 4 million of those square miles. (Everyone in New York City could move to California and have 10 acres of their own. I did the calculation with the intent of showing that everyone in the country could have their own square mile, but that's not true -- I didn't realize how big a square mile actually is.)

Remote workers probably aren't going to raise the cost of living that much. It is certainly possible that they could all move to the same place (i.e. turn Aspen, Colorado into New York City), and that would be a problem. But if people randomly move into rural areas, there just aren't enough people buying 1 million dollar apartments in the same place to "gentrify out" farmers.

I'll also point out, that remote work doesn't necessarily imply that it's possible to move to the middle of nowhere. You still need a good Internet connection, and many people want to live closer than an hour's drive away from a grocery store or hospital. I work remotely but I'm happy to live 3 minutes away from Manhattan. There are factors other than commuting to work that account for where people live.
Thanks for the mention of Rust in Action! I am curious about how you found you discovered it.
I must add to this that I'm a bit overweight, since I don't do any upper body training. I have a BMI of 28 with strong muscles in the legs and probably a good heart, but a lot of belly fat. My HRmax is usually a bit below 180, but definitely above 175, so I'm in anaerobic mode at above 145, where 150 to 160 is what I usually aim for, tending towards the lower limit.

My theory is that at this point I'm somehow just taking the energy out of the body fat, but I'm probably very wrong with this assumption.

What's happening in the Amazon is an obscene travesty, but overall global forest cover has been increasing for about a century. The 80s and 90s saw the ozone hole and acid rain problems addressed and ultimately put on the way to being righted.

Fire frequency and intensity in the US are a function of warming and really stupid forest management, with density, deadwood, water table policies, and other localized aspects being used wantonly as political tokens.

We need to do so much better. We also need to be much more competent at scale. It's possible. It's necessary. There are too many big real problems for the current state of disarray to last, one way or another.
Ask HN: Low vs. High COL advice for dev
Hi there, I'm a software engineer at a big tech on the west coast. Due to the pandemic and remote work, We have been living in a small town in California, awesome cost of living, great house. With my employer calling me back to Seattle, I've decided to transfer teams.

I have the choice of one team, in a field I've always wanted to learn more about (health tech) but unfortunately is located in Seattle, and will require people to come back to the office for 3 days of the week.

I have another team that will actually support remote work, and the whole team will be working remotely. I’m interested in their product, definitely not as cool as the Seattle team but it wouldn’t bore me, and not having to move is a huge plus in time savings. I have some ideas for side projects that I’ve been wanting to work on but haven’t had the time to tackle yet.

The big question I have is, If my goal is to start a successful startup (not unicorn status but a product that people love), should I prioritize learning and growth on the technical side, by staying where I am, take a less ambitious remote team, and have more time to work on my side projects and grow as a builder? Or should I move to Seattle, since it would probably give me a better ability to develop relationships and network with the tech scene there, possibly finding a cofounder?

My technical skills I would say are not that great, I only have 1 year of experience as a developer, which is why I was leaning towards staying and focusing on projects. However, people talk all the time about how important networking is. Does living in an expensive place like Seattle really matter for networking as a dev, if 90% of your time is at work with the same coworkers anyway? I was thinking I could drive out to conferences occasionally to build out a similar network, but let me know what you think!
Agreed. But one impediment to sharding is bad DB design, which is rife right now because everyone starts with Django/Rails/Laravel and starts treating the DB like a document store that happens to have some relational features.

Yes!
Hiring manager care for what you bring to the table matches what they are looking for, assuming you get along well and such. It is likely you will get interview call. Your company's income statement does not matter.
Not getting interview call does not mean you are not qualified - it could mean you are not qualified enough amongst the pool. Some recruiters/agencies have shill jobs just to attract candidates.

Thanks just wanted to make a rough approximation since a purely coal/petrol network is not realistic anyway.

https://www.eia.gov/tools/glossary/index.php?id=Net%20genera...

I believe it’s electricity generated at the plant, so we should add 5-15% for transmission losses and 8-20% depending on charger efficiency.

Assuming 5% transmission and 10% charging loss using the well-to-wheel figures you posted charging in a 100% coal grid should be equivalent to and around 5.7l/100km / 41mpg IC car.
A post-mortem should not necessarily blame the individual, but blame the circumstances the individual finds themselves in.

Yes, a hard-coded password is bad practice. But does the company have a bad culture of keeping configs in repos? Maybe management thinks it easier to commit configs with sensitive data, than to set up proper deployment shit. And after all, the repos are private, so it should be fine yeah?

Bad code ending up in production is something you'll see often. Does the company have nice test suites for everything? Continuous integration pipelines? E2E tests? Or is upper management pushing everyone to their limits, because "fuck it ship it"?
Pin Codes for HP LaserJet Service Menu
Yes. Almost.

But the point is explicitly not that the issue is short-termism. I am not going to go over everything again, but the issue is not solved (as everyone today thinks) by bailing people in.

Look at Tesla's exec package: Elon's package is what...$100bn? He will lose money if the stock goes to zero, but that is still a very one-sided risk for him. So doing long-term packages makes no difference because the reward is all one-sided, no risk, and the fundamentals usually aren't changed. It actually makes it worse because you dangle $100m in front of someone on a base package of $500k salary...they will believe anything to get that money. So timescale isn't relevant (again, the market isn't short-term...every investor wants a "one decision stock"...you buy, hold for the rest of your life).

As an example, this is why you see so much M&A...it makes no sense but you buy revenues from another company, you get growth. Execs don't care about the price, you just need growth, you just need to hit your targets. Whether they are short or long, the issue is with the incentives and target (although are wrong for a few different reasons I have already mentioned, and I haven't yet seen a company that has managed to structure pay perfectly...most just wildly overpay for very mediocre execs who add nothing).
I grew up in the 60's and read a lot of Science Fiction in the 70's as a teen. I found a lot of optimistic takes on the future, which are largely being born out: incredible advances in medical technology, home computers and now computers that fit in a pocket, affordable ability to communicate, video conference or travel anywhere in the world, the failure of totalitarian communism, amazing space telescopes, civilian space travel, phasing out fossil fuels for solar and other renewable energy and so on. I'm optimistic we will invent technology to deal with climate change and food/water shortages.

Yet after the Vietnam war, race riots, Charles Manson, the oil embargo and 12% inflation, the media just loves to promote doom and gloom about the future. I think anxious people shop more to distract themselves. Sometimes I feel like a lone optimist.
Yes. They are the subject of this thread because they are a significant portion of the unemployment lower-to-middle income employees receive. They are worth discussing because, as you note, part of their goal is to avoid a protracted economic recovery, but they are having a counterproductive side effect.

From the article:

> After 37 years, I still get forced to work 12 hours a day, seven days a week... I make $20.50 [an hour] after 37 years here.

Assuming they obey overtime laws, he's' making $112,996 a year ((40 * 20.5) + (44 * 1.5 * 20.5) * 52).

I think that has something to do with it. There likely aren't any alternatives where someone with that skill set can make nearly double the median income for Topeka, Kansas. But there are probably alternatives where they can make maybe a half that at more reasonable hours.

I'm a serial startup founder and LOVE working with other founders or former founders. They often come with a level of maturity that few managers have -- they know how hard it is to run a business, to raise money, hire/fire, etc... This is especially true in your case, where you built something that got some traction.

I would say there are TWO problems you have right now.

1. Recruiters are not the people you want to reach out to. Reach out to the entrepreneurs who are running the businesses you want to work for... This implies that you might have luck with scaleups/startups or founder-led companies... The important piece is: recruiters will rarely have the appreciation for your experiences that other founders do, and most companies don't explicitly seek out ex-founders... So you'll resonate with the founders but NOT with a recruiter who has a checklist of skills.

2. Make sure your "about me" section in your resume outlines the difficulties of starting and scaling a business, and why you are so unique... Good executive recruiters know that special people struggle putting their experiences into a cohesive checklist, but then your "about me" section needs to be really compelling.

I agree. So far I have never heard any good arguments for why it should be more than an emergent property.

Any aspect of consciousness that is usually brought up can either be attributed to some brain function, or the aspect is a wishy washy, hand-wavy property the emergence-skeptic can’t quite define.

The insight from the study of the minds of brain-damaged people alone gives fascinating insight into the interplay of mechanical defects and their experiential effects.
Mongoose (MongoDB ODM) model name pluralization logic
uBO's advanced mode has been my replacement so far.

I have struggled to use it in the past because I was trying to directly map uMatrix rules to uBO dynamic rules, which isn't really possible due to syntax differences. I've realized now that I'll have to embrace both uBO's dynamic rules and uBO's static filters to truly replace uMatrix.

For example, I like to block all XHR requests by default. In uMatrix, the rule `* * xhr block` handled this for me. While uBO's dynamic-rule syntax does have an "xmlhttprequest" keyword, it cannot be used in a blanket rule like `* * xmlhttprequest block`. I had to use the static filter `*$xhr` to accomplish the same blocking instead.

This was a bit awkward at first because I had to compartmentalize rules for different request types based on the limitations of the dynamic-rule syntax. I've been using the uBO wiki on GitHub and r/uBlockOrigin as references to help me understand the differences.

I've also been using uBO's logger to help me generate rules and filters. Clicking on a blocked request will pop up a dialog that can be used for pretty fine-grained blocking. Seeing rules change on the fly is also nice for learning the intricacies of uBO's filtering capabilities.
The short answer is that doesn't always work because the U.S. is different in important aspects (and this doesn't mean necessarily claiming American exceptionalism).

I think there are some problems when you bring in the "Why don't you ask every other country?" argument. For one, not every country has the same protections that the U.S. carries in the Bill of Rights. This is why you can't, for example, use this defense when it comes to banning intolerant speech even though it may be done elsewhere.

I think the generous interpretation is this law feels like a "show me your papers" statute which the United States generally has a philosophical angle against. It would be comparable in some people's eyes to a "Show me your vaccine card" enforced by the State. Pragmatically, the ID law may also create de facto racial profiling. Although I think the opposite side of this feels the issue is more about State vs. Federal immigration enforcement than really striking down the "show me your papers" provision.
Jet Li isn’t in the movie, I’m not discussing Matrix Universe. Just guessing how Li’s reaction might sprout from the movie plot.

Not directly the same as the Dr. that engages, and disclaimer I do not know this space personally very deeply, but from a lot of friends that have streamed a good bit it can be more toxic at times than not. Mental health generally in the US is an under talked about thing, and there is a lot of stigma around it.

Streaming seems to only make much of the already existing issues potentially worse. For twitch or others, they don't take much of an active role in ensuring creators are taking care of from that perspective. For mental health to be a priority it seems like that piece needs to be separate from the business of stream as much as you can or your missing out on $$$.

All good, the sentiment is very much shared amongst entrepreneurs and fortunately spreading after the whole “follow your passion” BS.

Lots of successful people nowadays now say “do what you’re good at” or “do the unsexy things, or the things no one else wants to do” and the passion will follow. That’s a much more pragmatic and realistic approach.

Personally I really enjoyed software and coding, but after doing the grind at SV companies and my own gig I’ve come to realize that on a risk-adjusted basis, the larger tech companies are a better way to make money.
Agreed. It is eye opening without being overly indulgent in fear peddling.

Ok... now think this through. Imagine there were no strange symptoms, and so no stories, and you wanted to create the stories... what would you do to cause the symptoms? The attacks, right?

Or are you suggesting a foreign power that wanted to cause fear would just hang around and wait and hope for symptoms to appear out of nowhere?
That feeling of being a lone optimist is ever-present for me as well. Sometimes I think it’s just a lack of real transcendent and great art. If science fiction’s heyday is over, which artists are seeing and imagining the future today?

My personal biases incline me to think psychedelics have an important role to play.
Anything you can do via speech in a group can be done faster and easier by text as everyone can talk at the same time without overlap and you have continual access to all of the history of the conversation. If you feel a need to meet in person to get "speed of flow" and "interaction" it just says more about how you were trained to use language than it does about the problem you are solving.
