Cable cars, trams, busses, trains, taxis – if SF and Seattle have poor public transit, I've never seen a place which does then. And I say this as someone who lived in and extensively used said public transit in both cities.

Let's hypothesize about a utopian city where a person's housing is, at a maximum, a quarter hour walk/bike from their job at Apple. The moment that person switches jobs to Google, however, they have to choose between moving or losing every benefit the utopian city layout has provided. Worse, their new commute would be explicitly working against the design of this hypothetical city.

Workforces should not be (and are not with suburbs) tightly integrated into where they work. This is something important to consider. You can't have the same density of employers that you have today if you're also packing in the other services (residential, markets, drug stores, laundrymats, etc).
Please try to sketch this out. Grab some daily production and consumption numbers from somewhere and then increase the nuclear (basically shift it straight up) and/or increase the solar (stretching upward is a rough approx but we can also flatten it) to levels that cover roughly 100% of demand. Look at the bit where both are running at the same time and compare it's area to the rest. Why is this duplicated "baseload" useful? Try it again with wind, which is much cheaper and faster to build than nuclear. The conclusion should be fairly obvious.
Yeah, so cancel was the wrong word. Suspend. Domain registars send out many many notices that domains are expiring. Even when one has expired, there is a definite grace period. I have benefittted from that grace period on occassions.

To outright cancel an account would be bad.
For 1125$ per month, your pricing page offers 10-20hrs of coding time. How do you decide if a client gets 10 or 20 hours? That’s a huge difference...
I use Zoom for the simple reason that it provides end to end encryption and can seamlessly support large (50+) team meetings.

Other than WebEx, which is more cost-prohibitive and has a clunkier UI/UX to boot, I believe there are no other video conferencing apps that can provide the service I'm looking for (which is 1. E2EE, and 2. support for 50+ attendees).

_Is_ there anything else that can provide this, besides Zoom or WebEx?
Even the smartest people can be wrong and it can take an outside perspective for them to realize this. This isn't an example of someone "fileting" another's argument. It's an example of two professionals have a conversation and arriving at an agreement.

Nelson was making an extraordinary claim so the odds were definitely against him.
Cui bono? In the private sector we have auditors, we have segregation of duties, we have scheduled backups. When people's lives are on the line you would think the government could be at least as good as the private sector after all they create many of the regulatory nightmares that require WORM drives and other technologies for accountability. This leads me to believe this is either gross negligence or intentional.

Demand the government follows its own recommendations and put penalties for governments out of compliance.
GC is just fine for OS development, as proven by Xerox PARC, ETHZ systems used in production.

The problem is more of mentality and not having management willing to push it down unbelievers no matter what, that prefers to recycle UNIX clones instead to save money.

Companies have been destroyed by courts, but very few, very infrequently.
They definitely removed it years ago, at least for me. The option to check mark “Amazon.com” as the seller was there and then it wasn’t over and over, and then eventually just disappeared.

Edit: I just searched shelf and hot sauce on Amazon.Com on iOS Safari, and the filter options do not show any way to restrict to items sold by Amazon.com.
I like this take, I think I've been tired of arguing with people so I've been looking for some form of compromise. This seems to compromise nothing while keeping the system that certain people desire in tact. I dig it.
> Now if they're sniping you from a mile away, that's a bit worse.

Humans snipers regularly make kills at that distance or farther, so that's not really a new threat.

I'd be more worried about the development of supersonic AGMs that are smaller and cheaper. Right now, it doesn't make much economic sense to fire a $10K USD missile to kill random people (though the USA does it anyway), but if it only costs $1K... now you're starting to get to WMD levels of murder.

Perhaps, but it's irrelevant here. The fact is people who are looking for dates congregate in different places at different times. If Tinder is no longer the place to be, something else has taken its place.
I hate Teams because of other issues[0], but the video and screen sharing are really good.

I think that remains to be seen. Exact calculations will give you 24 bits, but in computers, floating point calculations typically aren’t exact.

If, as this article does, you compute all your intermediate values as 32-bit IEEE floats, it would hugely surprise me if you still got 24 bits of precision after 1 division (to compute y/x or x/y), 15 multiplications and 14 additions (to evaluate the polynomial) and, sometimes, a subtraction from π/2.

(That’s a weakness in this article. They point out how fast their code is, but do not show any test that it actually computes approximations to atan2, let alone about how accurate their results are)

Getting all the bits right in floating point is expensive.
Target does this as well. Super useful to get in and out, limiting my contact with potentially infectious people - though I usually use their curbside.
I would guess that there are not enough traffic in the area. Or that the traffic is very predictable.

Again, the tech is there, and it will work with driverless only. My point is against mixing with human drivers.
What you're describing is practically impossible in a capitalist state, both due to political unwillingness and by juridical obstructions. One has to realize that the main function of a capitalist state is to secure private capital and facilitate profits for the capitalist class, in short - to preserve the class hierarchy.
I was trying to be simple and now we've reached the pedantic stage.

If it was a team effort, we may use "Contributed to development of an iOS game that earned $10M in revenue.".

If it was an individual effort, the bullet I wrote earlier could included a term to clarify that, like "Independently...".

As for 'us on HN', about 100 HN users hire me every year. I even have a discount code for HN users on my HN page here (I got 3 HN orders in the past two days, probably from people reading this thread). I'm familiar with how to write accomplishments on resumes, for HN users and others.
It's not about defending it, the goal is for it to change.

And that can't possible be by exporting our waste and blaming the ones we are exporting to. Yes there are some ridiculously low hanging fruits in some parts of the world, and more effort must be put into that (from our end as well).

But that doesn't excuse us for not taking the, still low hanging fruits, that we have readily control over.
So everything is done between the client app and AWS. Under the hood it is using the AWS SDK. We don't store any keys or any of your data on our servers. So, the user has to have access keys, and they can also have their session token. We also have it setup that it can read from your .aws/credentials file, so if you have a process that automatically updates that file, the session token is also automatically updated in the app.

Some percentage of the users may be OK with not knowing if there are bots. Get a few attractive "people" to match with you, get a self esteem boost and move on with your day. And there is the lottery element. What if this one isn't a bot and actually picked me out of the thousands of other options.
I've always been bothered (maybe not the right word... intrigued?) by how it's taken as axiomatic that a negative multiplied by another negative must be positive. I can see why it's defined that way, and can't see any other way to define it, but it also leads to a lot of irritating arithmetical inconsistencies.

That's a good way to frame things which is something I now do a better job with. My clutter problems were/are mostly from old me not thinking in that way.

have we managed to pass any laws to stop these companies from saving a few bucks to not manage their methane emissions? no.

i think its because we have actually internalized this idea as a society.
The increased cost aspect is interesting, and is something I've recently learned about. Fortunately our local goodwill is very active in pre-screening items when you drop off so I don't feel a huge need to get into the weeds with it.

For recycling, it sounds more and more like our current systems just aren't well designed. If there is so much incidental complexity downstream that can actually ruin the recycleability of other items, we as consumers should aggressively under-recycle. But then that makes recycling that much less impactful as well. I don't know what the right answer is here other than we need to improve the sorting/processing to avoid consumers needing to understand the intricacies.
"Can't stop my kid from sleeping around, but at least he/she won't get cancer", and harm reduction efforts, in general, are consequentialist. Some academics devote their entire lives to the development of moral theories, and the majority of them aren't consequentialist. There are other ways to reason about decision making.

These efforts don't work, anyway. Thanks to the sexual "revolution" and promiscuity being viewed as morally neutral (if not positive) in today's world, we now have multi-drug-resistant strains of gonorrhea, syphilis, and chlamydia. No doubt, if we develop leaky vaccines against common STDs, we'll just end up breeding vaccine-resistant strains of them.
Almost no vaccines are sterilising and that is a very high threshold to meet.

Polio and measles vaccines are not even sterilising. It is much more realistic to achieve herd immunity with vaccines than it is to create a sterilising vaccine.
A vaccinated person has equal viral load to an unvaccinated person? That's not substantiated by any of the available evidence AFAIK.

Early on the question was "can a vaccinated person transmit the virus?" and the answer to that question is yes; but, even with a low viral load, that can still be the case. So the vaccinated person can end up transmitting, but not as much, as an unvaccinated person. If the person asking the question wants just a yes or no answer, then the answer has to be yes. But that's not the full picture.
Agree, people are spending weeks of effort to figure out how to deploy their app which has 3 webservers and one RDS database via kubernetes because 'thats the right way to do it'.

Kubernetes is a solution to a problem hardly anyone has, and it is maddingly complex, and large parts of it are poorly designed. If you have a large team deploying many services and can afford full time devops staff, it is a good solution to many problems, but probably 90% of the people using it would find things to be simpler and more reliable without it.
Too many stations in my area of the US (western Ohio) allow this. I was a cashier at my family's independent gas station for a number of years, and it always pissed off customers when we stopped the dispenser when they walked away / got in their car / etc. It's a legitimate safety and environmental hazard (some hold-open latches don't disengage reliably on some filler necks leading to gasoline rolling out of the tank onto the ground). People get used to lax non-safety conscious stations and then act like jerks to the employees in stations who do care.
I like your point about cohesion. I'm not an immigrant here so, perhaps obviously, I agree. I have worked on teams and accents of those I have to collaborate with is a big factor in determining overall "friction". Often if the accent is too strong, it really makes the interaction dreadful because I (and others) want to understand you but it's difficult and embarrassing having to ask "what?" three times per sentence.

I don't think you need any better example than support call centers. How many people routinely avoid calling for support or simply loathe the idea of doing so because they're like to get someone with a heavy Indian, Filipino, etc. accent that leads to the scenario I mentioned above ("whats?")? When it comes down to it, it has a real cost in many ways.

Well, heuristics, and probably a lot of classical controls theory and inverse kinematics/path planning.
> there was a strong push in the opposite direction, asserting that it's psychosomatic / "only in your head" / "here's some antidepressants."

As a counterpoint to this, my first exposure to chronic fatigue syndrome came while I was dealing with depression and getting psychotherapy for the first time. CFS popped up in the news, and a friend guided me to a web forum where I'd get the "unfiltered" version from people who suffered from it. What jumped out to me about that community, given my struggle with depression at the time, was that it was a cesspool of stigma against mental illness. The experiences people reported varied over a wide spectrum, but there was a significant contingent of people with classic symptoms of depression along with the vague physical complaints that most people have, outraged that doctors would be so insulting as to suggest depression or other psychological explanations. If there was one belief that united the community, one shared credo, it was that they deserved a physical diagnosis because their dignity required it, and they would not accept a psychological diagnosis because it would render them unworthy of sympathy. One person summed up the consensus succinctly by saying it was an outrage for doctors to suggest that they were "just too lazy and too stupid to get their lives together." That was unwelcome, but valuable, confirmation of how some people saw depression, and it made me more guarded about when and how I talked about it.

So it cuts both ways. I'm sure there are doctors who arrogantly label any patient they can't figure out as "crazy," but I'm just as sure there are patients who overreact, angrily, to any mention of psychological causes or treatments.

It's the correct demonym for people from Livermore and also a bit funny. One of the breweries in the area even named a drink after it.
One reason that a lot of very intellectual people express a skepticism of capitalism is because so often you see very successful who aren't very bright. It's typical to see a small-to-medium business owner worth $20 million, who's maybe above average intelligence, but nowhere near the brain power of say a physics PhD who's grinding out postdocs at $45k/year.

I think one reason for that is because the market price system already does a lot of the intellectual heavy lifting. In many cases the market gives you very transparent signals about relative cost and scarcity of resources. For a typical entrepreneur, it's often just about putting in the hustle, grit, and risk tolerance to convert low-priced inputs into high-priced outputs.

For example, I can pretty clearly identify that my area needs a car wash. A lot of homes were built in this zip code recently, and there's no car wash to service a new, large market. The car wash business model is pretty easy to project. With a tiny bit of research I can easily figure out prices, wages, rents, etc.

Opening and running a successful car wash would not be a hard intellectual problem. What it would be is a hard pain-in-the-ass problem. The challenge of owning a car wash isn't solving differential equations. It's waking up to an emergency call at 6 am that your bathroom's flooding, and half your staff called out sick because they're hung over.

And most importantly they have only one listing for the same item. In Amazon and Walmart you have multiple listings of the same product by different sellers at different prices. In Amazon it's really annoying to see several pages of basically the same product.

Elderly people don't want robots, and yeah, good things© are unlikely to happen anyways. When new startups want to help people©, they are actually forced to go where the market is. "Well, only two years working for the autonomous drones for the army and we'll focus back on helping farmers". And years go by. Employees can believe in that vision, but can be tricked for years. They should change jobs. (there was a very true and touching testimony in this book (fr)[1]).

Also I believe 50 firemen robots is unlikely the best way to fight a fire :p Like autonomous cars: impose autonomous cars to lower car accidents in cities and save lives©? Just design the streets differently and prevent the cars to drive so fast…

The median home price is $818k [0]. That works out to about $3,400/month. To afford that you need to make $130k [1]. That is an 89th percentile wage locally [2]. And that's a single family home. In the cities for that price we're probably talking about a condo with a $500-$1000 monthly HOA.

The vast majority of the value in these homes is appreciation. Having more in appreciated asset value than 90% of your neighbors could ever catch up to through wages is exactly what defines the moneyed, flying-over-everything class.

I have a home in California, btw. I was able to stretch for a 1BR condo by earning half a million a year. That is definitely not what most other homeowners did, and it's not as if the people with 2BR and 3BR have even better salaries. They have wealth.

You're arguing for reducing options for people who don't have money to ... make yourself feel better? Surely them having an option to choose for themselves is better than no option, unless you think you know better than them (which would be pretty arrogant and small-minded of you IMO).
I think you miss the point: it’s a friendly in-joke that the people who stay in that area are “morons”.

You see this in places where there isn’t much to keep you there except your profession, typically government. I’m aware of Livermore and Lemoore, but I’m sure there are others.
The military has a defendable reason and history behind destroying documents on the way out in an emergency or as a policy. Gaining and losing territory is part of the business, and the new people coming in are presumably "the enemy". Information being destroyed after it has ceased to be useful is also in the military interest, that is not true of the legal system. The military is also in the explicit business of intentional killings and disrupting existing governance systems, both of which are NOT policing goals.

Police departments do not have "the enemy" and should not have a contingency for evidence destruction. Ever. There is no circumstance where it is reasonable to assume that frantically shredding documents serves the public interest. They certainly shouldn't be destroying evidence in a building that isn't the target of protests.
Reading the info so far...I would advise a frugal dose of
moderate optimist toned down with a spice of healthy scepticism:

"The lab hasn’t yet reproduced this month’s results, and Herrmann cautioned that doing so might not be straightforward. “We don’t know what variability will be in successive shots. It’s a nonlinear process where alpha heating heats up the fusion fuel and creates more fusion, which creates more heat.” Herrmann says the 3.5 MeV alpha particles, which remain in the plasma, produced 20% of the fusion yield, with 14 MeV neutrons accounting for most of the energy."

"The lab is still analyzing the results from the shot. It’s not yet known which or what combination of advances to the targets, laser pulse lengths, or other variables led to the leap in performance. Some of the instruments were saturated by the unexpected yield of the reaction. A few that are used in the target chamber for other, non-ignition experiments will need repair."

"Herrmann acknowledged that the announcement deviates from the standard practice of peer-reviewed publication. But the results, he says, were leaking, “so we wanted to put it out so people could discuss the facts.” "
That style sounds like it's mutating variables when other variables change (that is, mutate). That doesn't sound like a good fit for Haskell...
I don't think the point is that this is causing wasted CPU cycles, it's that if something shows symptoms of being written by incompetent programmers, it's likely they were incompetent in many other ways.
