You're in a tiny minority then, and it wouldn't hurt startups if a small segment is untargetable. In fact, they shouldn't worry about it for now.
Thanks for being transparent. If someone mentions a problem, and you have the solution, you should be able to politely and gracefully plug it imho.
This is all well and good in the UK. Bee bricks and bat boxes are great. But the largest predators in the UK are badgers. The real difficulty is how one accommodates bear and cougars. Even large deer can be a problem. Up to 200 Americans are killed by road accidents involving deer every year. Do we continue to close schools and break out the dart guns every time someone sees a bear in a tree? Or do we develop neighborhoods with pathways through which the even non-cuddly animals can pass without conflict. That costs far more than the occasional bee brick.
Someone not following a process is a failure of the process. The process should include proper training and regular oversight to ensure that the process is being followed - an audit will reveal if that training and oversight is in place. If you trace any accident back far enough, you'll eventually get to a point where it could've been prevented with better planning.
It depends. I’ve only heard good things from my parents about the municipal offerings in my hometown in rural-ish Iowa. Cheaper, faster, better customer service than the existing private ISP I had growing up.
In addition prions seem to contain disulfide bonds, which tend to make proteins even more stable. (RNAse for example has them and is notoriously hard to get rid off unless you treat it with essentially H2S).

I haven't found a source for that, but according to my bio teacher mad cow disease started, because they decided to lower the temperature to pretreat animal waste (such as bones and brain matter...) which then ended up in what cows get fed with. Wikipedia mentioned nowadays they simply leave out the bones and brain from the food.
It's a weird argument to make in this sub-thread. You started it by asking for "projects you’ve seen that are doing compelling[...]work". You got an answer.

You questionned its economic value. You got an answer. At this point, there are tons of other valid arguments you could have made ( it's too small, it's only one,etc ).

But you chose "reductio ad tulipum". It doesn't speak well of the strength of your case. Either that or you simply are not open to reconsidering your position, under any circumstance.
Rather than control theory you can use geometry to reduce the problems with cable driven robots. There are more but I like the Ambidex: https://youtu.be/aLaqMreVj9o
No, and this is expressly discussed in TFV. It's a flat 1% regardless of how many "post open source" resources are used. This is intended to encourage adoption of more POS (unfortunate acronym) once you use any.
>> The EPA's own studies have shown that to prevent a measurable decrease in IQ for children deemed most vulnerable, the standard needs to be set much lower, to 0.02 µg/m3. The EPA identified avgas as one of the most "significant sources of lead".

Atmospheric lead is pretty dangerous, more so than encapsulated lead paint inside a wall.
It would be very rare that any company passes the wholesale cost directly to the customer. There’s almost always some kind of markup, even for things like “administrative overhead”. Maybe that’s not widespread now, but the clear trend is reduced supply and increasing demand, so the costs will definitely go up.

> Do I think that the FCC would be trying to clawback money if SpaceX hadn't won?

Looking at this as a clawback attempt is the wrong framework. The awards are tied to contract terms with clawback-with-penalty provisions. The FCC has identified cases where it is unlikely that the contract terms could be met and provided an opportunity for those with grants to surrender them without penalty if they feel they could not meet the award terms. No effort is being made to undo awards, and if winners think they can meet the terms, they can keep the money.

Its win-win if award winners avail themselves of this opportunity, where they can't meet the terms, because it avoids an after-the-fact clawback with penalty which is good for the winner, and enables the funds to be redirected in advance rather than recovered in arrears, which is good for the government.

The mismanagement is that the places where it is almost certaibly impossible for the terms to be fulfilled, the FCC should not have granted the awards in the first place (of course, it is also true that applicants should have done their due diligence and not applied, so its not exclusively the FCC at fault.)
IIUC, cables are not subject to LLU in the UK (Virgin Media being the only cable ISP) but fibres are. Competition from fibre probably keeps cable Internet price reasonable enough.

It’s a shame Light Sport Aircraft (LSAs) never really caught on. Most of them use Rotax engines which take regular unleaded gasoline. They’re much more fuel efficient too!
That would be pretty cool. Also made me think of an idea (albient a super unsafe one) of having overhead power to connect to like an electric trolley.

I think the irony is that a circle of yes men form an echo chamber around zuckerberg, just like facebook has done for the general population. Eventually, he will be convinced that he is the internet messiah (if he doesn't already think that).

The parvo we must take care of our dogs from it
Parvo or parvovirus, named also canine parvovirus (CPV). it is a new viral highly severe virus or disease. Which basically targets and threatens directly the life of our dogs and our pets. Also attacks them that is why parvo in dogs is a really dangerous disease, but it's treatable and parvo in puppies is also stoppable. Therefore, as one of the people who really love these animals, we must protect them from the named canine parvovirus disease. As a dog lover, I will give you this article that contains a lot of informations about this deadly infection. Doing my best to guide you to keep your favorite animal lives in safety. This article contains the answer to the following questions:
1/What is parvo illness?

2/Is parvo contagious?

3/How much aged dogs are more targeted by canine parvovirus (CPV)?

4/How many types and cases there are in parvovirus?

5/What are the different signs of parvo and its symptoms?

6/What is the first sign of this virus?

7/How do dogs get parvo and what are his causes?

8/What are his stages?

9/How is parvovirus diagnosed in dogs?

10/How long does the parvo last?

11/What are the various parvovirus preventions?

12/Can a dog with parvovirus survive?

13/Can a dog get parvovirus twice?

14/Is parvo contagious to humans?

15/Is parvo contagious to cats?

16/What are the common misconceptions about the disease?

More answers to add to the others already given...

2. Mass evacuations by car are inherently inefficient, we should use public transport.

2. or... petrol supply requires transportation whereas electrical supply does not, the former does not seem inherently better than the latter.

2. or... it's as impractical for everyone to fill up their cars in an emergency as it is for everyone to charge their cars.

Honestly, I don't think petrol is any better here – we've just got more cases of this mostly working with petrol cars, and no examples either way yet for electric cars.

3. Oil refinement for an amount of petrol takes roughly as much energy as an electric car takes to go that distance, so we aren't just shifting oil -> electricity, we're actually doing (oil + electricity) -> electricity. This gives us an immediate and significant win on overall fossil fuel emissions even if electricity is entirely generated with fossil fuels.

3. Coal burning infrastructure is not in any way inextricably linked to the power to charge electric vehicles. Coal burning happens to be how much of the US/China gets its electricity for powering electric cars but the fact that solar power can be fed into the grid with no changes to anything else shows that the "inextricably" is false.

3. Coal burning happens to be used in some countries but in others, green energy production is far more available and there electric cars are much better for the environment.

> We need to realize that the motivation to deploy EVs too early is driven by profit rather than by motives in environmental protection and conservation of resources, then the really productive conversations can occur.

Companies are driven by profit, yes, however there are vast, immediate, benefits to the use of electric cars, as well as significant future benefits that can be realised as we transition off fossil fuels. Saying that EVs cannot be motivated by environmental benefits is disingenuous.
It doesn't hurt that new users also can't downvote by default, and that it takes nontrivial contributions to get that ability.
It's the read/readarray builtin that's creating the tmpfiles and that's not great, but the string substitution doesn't. My point was there's no need to call out to another program to do something that bash is capable of doing itself.
Why even pay for IPv4 addresses? Who says who gets to "use" them?
Confused - are you saying that you go to the grocery store on an impulse and those impulses are never from home? (Where one would store the bags) And maybe you’re saying you just walk to the store - you don’t own a car or live very close - so you couldn’t even store the bags anywhere that would be convenient for use?

I’d understand if that’s the viewpoint but this sounds a bit contrived. I find bringing my bags is same or less effort as dealing with the ones I have to get rid of at the end of the trip plus the tax included. And I hate throwing away things that are single use when I could easily use something that doesn’t have that lifecycle.
Maybe a positive covid test?

Orbiter 2016 is a brilliant game. I am currently trying to do a small space simulator in Clojure (https://github.com/wedesoft/sfsim25) and I probably should take a look at the Orbiter source code.
Elemental lead is nearly completely insoluble and very difficult to absorb. If entrained in dirt, even more so. Breathing vapors or aerosolized fine powders isn’t great, but uptake even then isn’t high compared to many other toxic substances - that is usually the dominant form however. It usually requires some kind direct ingestion + acid exposure of a significant amount of lead, or breathing in a large quantity of lead vapor or fine dust to get notable exposure.

Which is exactly what you get when every car in a city was burning tetra ethyl lead in large quantities, and/or kids were eating sweet tasting lead paint chips.

Leaded AVgas is a concern, but dilution of the resulting lead from combustion gets diluted very widely very quickly resulting in actual low concentrations. And since it’s not ‘every car in the LA basin’, it just isn’t at the scope or scale of a problem you’re making it out to be. We’re probably having bigger issues from all the random new stuff companies put into tires (including carbon nanotubes now), which then gets ground up and dispersed as fine power at the million ton scale every day.

Lead is not mobile in typical soil or water environments, and as long as the water isn’t strongly acidic, it settles out and stays where it lands. There is naturally occurring trace lead in most soils - it’s a somewhat common element.
Now do humans.
I worked with some true geniuses back then, and the idea of watching them systematically dismantle idiots in a public forum would give me chills. Alas, it wasn't to be. :)
How about keeping connection open from the webcam server or any host on the same LAN with a ssh reverse tunnel to a cheap cloud server?

For example when the webcam server is reachable on LAN at 192.168.1.2:1337 you can do

$ ssh -N -T -R 1338:192.168.1.2:1337 user@cloudserver.com

on a raspberry pi on the same LAN or locally in the webcam server and then you can access the webcam server from anywhere using cloudserver.com:1338
> He also afraid that something faster or more efficient than fiber would become more widely available over the next 10-15 years and then their network would be obsolete.

I'd take it a step further and argue that ideology follows policy, in that people adjust their ideologies to support the policies that benefit them, or to be compatible with the candidates whose policies would benefit them.

Hold up,

> Rumor has it (according to a report from The Information) that Google Cloud Platform is facing a 2023 deadline to beat AWS and Microsoft, or it will risk losing funding.

They're supposedly committing to stability and backwards compatibility. But the same article here says they whole department might be defunded unless they can become a market leader in 2 years, which sounds highly unlikely. Which means that their promises are worthless. I think they'd need to actually demonstrate at least 5 years of real API stability before the enterprise world starts looking at it more seriously.
Fewer of the wrong people, yes.

“ A few months ago, I was also shadow banned on Hacker News. I have no idea why, and I doubt that I will ever know.”

@Dang are people ever shadow banned, and does the system tell them this?

I vehemently disagree with shadow banning, it seems cowardly. If someone is to be silently muzzled or shadow banned, if you will, I think it’s proper transparency to notify them of this.

The sheer size of the US and thus the US market drives this in part.

Suppose you're a "big" ISP in Norway. Maybe you have almost half a million customers, and your corporate growth plan says you want a million customers by 2030.

Your engineers need a way to address all the backend infrastructure on your network. So, they give it all 10/8 addresses. No problem. "Do you need IPv6? Our customers are saying they want it?" "Not really, put it on the nice-to-have list and we'll get to it when we get to it".

In contrast your American equivalent has 20 million customers and hopes to expand to 40 million customers by 2030. Their engineers ran out of addresses in 10/8 for infrastructure years ago. So there are awful, miserable hacks they can do, but just go to IPv6 solves the problem. And hey, since your backend network is IPv6 anyway, you can just as well give it to your customers.

Once you bite the bullet, IPv6 first is actually cheaper. But most organisations aren't set up to think that way. The big changes resulting from the pandemic illustrate that. Can some (many? almost all?) of your office workers be more effective if they don't spend an hour every day commuting and then sit in a small cubicle most days of the week? The answer to that question didn't change from May 2019 to May 2020 but whether your employer knew the answer changed.
Stuff other people didn't say:

- You can make your screen black and white (gray scale) on both iOS and Android. This make is much less fun.

- If you have the habit of instinctively taking your phone and unlocking and opening something, make your phone harder to unlock (by having a hard to type passphrase and disabling the other unlock methods) and hide all your favourite apps deep under menus, submenus and folders. You can also wrap it on elasctic band, baby socks or whatever that makes it a little more inconvenient to automatically grab and unlock it. This may give you some time to realize you got your phone again and maybe it should go back into the pocket.
Ok, I understand.. it seems I had milder versions of cramps. The one I remember the most was when I basically had to grab the toes of my foot and pull hard counter to the cramping muscle and basically it ceased after several seconds. It was very painful but I didn't know they can be paralyzing.
It's fascinating how many here if someone goes against a Musk company immediately assume that it's due to corruption or protection for the incumbents.
Considering how Tesla benefits significantly from regulations (they make more money from carbon credits than selling cars), I think they are very good at taking advantage of regulation themselves.

Also regarding the current article, maybe it is like in the article SpaceX bit largely on census blocks that do not deserve government subsidies? Maybe they even did it on purpose because they knew they could use other means to provide broadband if they can't get starlink up quick enough?
Tesla invested a significant amount of money into building out a charging network for their cars. Toyota has been selling fuel cell vehicles for longer than Tesla has been in existence and they've made no such effort to create a network of hydrogen fueling stations. Even now with the threat of battery electric vehicles becoming the next platform for personal transportation Toyota continues to sit on it's hands when it comes to supporting it's own technology. Even their lobbying efforts aren't around trying to push hydrogen, it's around protecting their hybrid and gasoline vehicle business. Their actual efforts around hydrogen vehicles tells you everything you need to know: it's not viable and they know it. Toyota could be selling as many Mirais as Tesla sells vehicles, the demand is clearly there and people would pay a hefty price to get them like they do for Teslas. So why don't they?

HN's voting system is a bit complicated. They will remove the downvote button for various reasons. For example you can't downvote replies to your comments, only upvote. I think also if you are a newer user, you can't downvote.
Arguably it does make sense in the context of making a joke about 90's Internet slang as the author appears to be doing, but I agree it doesn't make sense as something you'd actually say to pause a conversation. On the other hand, it might actually have that effect...
48 miles is probably good enough for 95%+ of people. Also worth noting that that’s higher than any other PHEV in its class (SUV).
Ask HN: How do you figure out your career goals?
My company is about to wrap up our mid year review/promotion cycle, and I put in for promotion to senior engineer. I feel I've been doing good work with a big impact for the company and our customers, so believe there is a good chance I've gotten this promotion. So far in my career these types of promotions have been straight forward. I went from junior to mid, and then through various companies intermediate number schemes for their levels. The main thing though, is the work has pretty much been consistently the same, but just slightly larger each time. I believe this is really the last time in my career a promotion will be as straight forward as "Here's more money, and just slightly larger scope of issues we trust you with".

Now I've been thinking what comes after that? In the mainstream there seems to be two main paths. Either go towards the management track, or go towards the architect/staff engineer track. Both of them are drastically different jobs from one another with multitudes of pros/cons. A third, and less traveled option, seems to be to attempt to strike out on your own. The only one I can still have an idea from my current situation of what it would be like though is the architect track. It grows into managing larger, higher risk projects, but still is deeply technical in nature. The other two are so far off from what I actively do though it seems impossible to know that's what I wanted without jumping in and asking questions later.

That's the short summary of where my current crossroads are and advice on that would be great, but I think it would also be enlightening to hear how people handle their career goals in a more holistic sense. Do you have 10 year plans? 6 month plans? No plans? How do you tackle unknowns like above?
In London last summer I caught a whiff of a smell that I hadn't smelled in years - 30 seconds later a vintage Jag came around the corner and I realised it was the exhaust of a car running leaded petrol. I was struck by the fact that I could literally smell it coming.
> Honestly, do we need to politicize everything?

Government management of funds is political, by definition. It can't be “politicized”; the weird thing is pretending that it was ever apolitical to start with.

It's my theory that we need voting systems that go in more than one dimension. Correctness, Humor, Politeness and other dimensions are somewhat orthogonal to each other, and trying to cram all of that into up/down just doesn't work.
> ISPs can decide to arbitrarily block access to social media giants, or any other site, altogether. That is the bigger problem.

How is that the _bigger_ problem? This is entirely theoretical. ISPs have not done anything like that yet because it doesn't make any sense for them to.

Big tech, on the other hand, have shown that they are more than willing and able to destroy any platform they don't like. Big Tech has as much or more power over the internet than ISPs, and are much more likely to abuse it.
You could incentivise employers to provide charging at work, that would solve the problem for the majority.
