The thing is, with apps providing start and end point, they don't even need to be able to handle a full city to get a benefit. They can geofence really aggressively, and the moment they can ditch the safety drivers from a sufficient subset of journeys based on routes requested, they have an advantage.
Yes, my entire first half of the career was in such an orthogonal industry. I learned how to write software out of necessity and now that I am working in a software engineering team, I kind of miss my old days. There were no endless jira tickets, no code reviews, just pure solving problems and fixing things. You can try to write letters to companies in agriculture, food production, manufacturing, chemical plants, beverage (wine, beer, etc.), textiles, construction, lumber, etc. Pay won't be good but if you have what it takes, can definitely become a favorite person of the whole company and depending on leadership skills, you can rise up quickly and start taking on bigger responsibilities. An example would be finding manufacturing defects in production lines - stick a bunch of cheap industrial cameras, use OpenCV to build an app that can detect them, use polarizing filters to remove plastic wrap glare, automate barcode scanners with ultrasonic switches, collect important manufacturing data such as units/hour, build a statistical process control system, build GUIs for operators, etc. In your letter explain what sorts of things you can do for them.
sure but HN has downvotes that act as deterrence to content that is not acceptable to others unlike any other platform where you can only say yayy but not disagree. that has its problems.

i write a comment on HN, then another later. occasionally i check the replies in the comments page that makes me answer but the thread does not go too deep for me. i do not spend "that" much time here.

Thanks for the link, it nicely explains what I tried to summarize in my posts about the misconceptions of base load.

May be it should be added that of course renewables can be dispatchable if not all of their available capacity is used all the time. The typical gas peaker plans are idle 90% of the time. But people complain less about that, as gas plans consume gas to run, while e.g. solar cells don't have any additional costs for producing electricity vs. not producing electricity. So it seems like a waste to not operate them at full capacity. Yet, the situation isn't that different from a gas plant idling most of the time.

Annectodal, the French grid is mostly nuclear and they of course face the problems with running a varying grid load with "base load" power plants. The solution is, to run their nuclear power plants at an average of 75% of their full power, this gives them more ability to regulate the output, but of course it means, that the cost per energy produced raises, as they usually are not fully utilized.
Which probably is the reason, why France is exporting a lot of electricity - with the European grid it is cheaper to have a varying export than a variable production.

Are you just guessing though? There certainly was coordination between IBM in the US and IBM in Nazi Germany even during the war. Look at IBM and the Holocaust by Edwin Black for example.

In short, image maps work(ed).

The author, Rod Nave, is old, possibly retired, and probably self-taught in HTML 3.2.

Image maps were the modern tech in the years after Fulton County started pushing internet to residents---1995 or so. I don't remember there being any alternatives at the time; CSS was mostly supported by many browsers, but div tags weren't in widespread use.

For a non-programmer, it would be a herculean effort to learn and transition existing material to a new technology, and the benefits might not be obvious to someone focusing on teaching physics to 100 undergraduates most of the year and seeing the widespread, positive impact of the current implementation.

No, this is the wrong analogy.

Amazon's added value is in bundling open source tools and in provisioning and autoscaling. They don't make hardware, they don't generate electricity, they're not an ISP. They outsource the actual hosting part to other people.

If you just want to host stuff you can cut out the AWS middleman and rent a data center location for much cheaper. (Like, 4-5 or even 10 times cheaper.)

And yes, as a programmer/devops/sysadmin thinking about provisioning, autoscaling and packaging is your job. And yes, you absolutely can do it more efficiently than Amazon, because economies of scale don't apply to IT human resources. (Software projects don't become cheaper to make when you hire more programmers, quite the opposite, in fact.)
Instead of disabling them, they should let them operate, but play only ads.

Where /e/ shines in terms of easy of use, and Graphene shines in terms of security, Calyx has made wonderful choices in terms of privacy.

"GrapheneOS is focused on substance rather than branding and marketing. It doesn't take the typical approach of piling on a bunch of insecure features depending on the adversaries not knowing about them and regressing actual privacy/security. It's a very technical project building privacy and security into the OS rather than including assorted unhelpful frills or bundling subjective third party apps choices."

It's more than that. Ultimately at a certain point TVs are blank slates, and become identical. At that point it's a race to the bottom on price, as opposed to features. TVs might have multiple inputs and outputs - but if they don't, honestly that's a $10 problem so there's a lack of reasonable differentiation.

Enter "Smart TVs". Consumers can theoretically choose one based on built-in applications, versions of Android (in theory). At the very least there is differentiation. The frustrating part is that at least here, it seems like these TVs are starting to lose features like optical outputs and multiple inputs.

I literally just want a dumb slate with >2 HDMI inputs and an optical output. That's no longer an option in Israel. In calls to 16 different stores based on what's available in the country (zap.co.il) your order is always "out of stock" and the call devolves to upgrade to a newer TV that yay has Android XXX on it. Inter-connectivity is becoming difficult to purchase.
The point is that a "level 4 system" like Waymos is never going to trickle down to personally owned vehicles, because nobody wants to pay the hardware premium required for Waymo's autonomous system if it will be locked down to a specific city with specific routes.

Which is exactly GC's point – they don't want a car that can drive itself in Phoenix and SF and that's it. Most people either want a car that can make their life easier for a huge portion of driving but still require them to be in the driver's seat (e.g. Tesla's Autopilot) or a car that can actually drive itself basically anywhere (e.g. Tesla's FSD). Waymo's Level 4 just isn't that appealing for a personal vehicle.

This is why the SAE level system is poorly thought out and not particularly useful for anything except arguing over minutiae.
Leibniz (who invented calculus as you learn it in school) invented a system where along each edge of each card was a row of squares with either a hole or a notch open to the edge. Each square corresponded to a category or property. To select all the cards that conformed to either of two categories, you stuck rods through the stack at the corresponding squares, and lifted: OR. For AND, you would use one rod and lift, and then again in the cards lifted, at the second position. For NOT, you use the cards left behind. So you could apply any arbitrary boolean expression to as many properties as you had squares on the edges. He meant to categorize everything in the world that way.

That method was used for searching in a data set for centuries, until punch-card sorting machines, and then computers. Index cards used to be essential for organizing anything.

I went from one end of Indonesia to the other looking for index cards, to make flash cards for vocabulary. They could not be had for love or money. But I finally found "visiting cards".

Really nice indeed, thanks for the tip.
I just want to say that these are unrelated: opening a bank account doesn't actually require a proof of residence in France by law, it's the banks themselves that often require it (but when you move abroad they are generally happy to update your address without proof), needing a check for renting is absolutely infuriating but also not a legal requirement, only something private landlords usually ask (publicly subsided housing and student accommodation organisations that regularly see foreign students generally allow other means of guarantee).

So these are entirely problems with private actors, not the French administration - you will find that the French administration is often very helpful when you need to pay things to them, most means of payment are possible, foreign credit cards are no problem for example, and they even take American Express for paying fines.

And wealthfare fraud is not conducted with checks, although it might require false proofs of residence.
For land based installations, start as simple as transportation. You certainly don't want to assemble the blades on-site and the contortions they go through for trucking the finished blades are already quite crazy. Had the Cargolifter airship not been abandoned, I'm sure it would be used exclusively as a wind turbine parts carrier.
I'd like to hear more about such limits. Do they base it on total money withdrawn, or number of withdrawals? If you don't mind, what was the limit approximately? Is it only about cash withdrawals, can you use card and online payments as before?

I am using electricitymap for the daily distribution in Germany and energy-charts.info for longer term statistics. While they are not perfectly aligned, it is nice to see how wind often is strong when there is no sun and vice versa, both in the daily and the yearly run.
Unfortunately I haven't seen many statistics how large an European grid would have to be to achieve a perfect wind distribution as weather systems pass over europe. But just connecting France and Germany for wind power would reduce the weather influence a lot (requires France to build more wind power first, of course).
I like the Atom C-series... interesting option for edge deployed equipment.
History books often contain contentious or unusual behaviour. The same for people reminiscing about others.

Jobs yelled at people, fired them, and apparently worse? I don't know all the specifics, but...

Of those he yelled at, how many conversations, without yelling, were had first? How many were had one on one first, but he was ignored?

How many pleasant, amicable conversations were had. What's the ratio?

To hear some talk, apparently Jobs was walking around Apple HQ, just randomly screaming at, and belittling others, all day long?!

This seems inaccurate.

And the 'style of the time' is critical, as parent says. You cannot judge a person's leadership style by today's standards, that's absurd, instead, how would Jobs be rated against the average manager/boss of the time?

In the 80s, I had many a manager/boss which would be know to yell and belittle people. People would also crack racist jokes, make fun of alternate life styles, and in many cases only doing it to fit in, not really even caring or thinking wrong of it.

History must be viewed as a contemporary would.

Yeah, as far as the first links go I was aware and that's exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about. I'd love to hear from someone who has more knowledge about the engineering of the 5G towers for that reason.

And you're right that there are issues with penetration the higher the frequency. Which is why it's surprising to me they'd use such extremely high frequencies. Something as simple as rain significantly affects the signal with 5G, there's a phenomenon called rain fade. Then there's the problem with indoor penetration. Without having in depth knowledge of the tech it just doesn't make sense to me from a simple physics point of view. The disadvantages seem to vastly outweigh the slightly higher bandwidth, which immediately breaks down anyway as soon as the conditions aren't ideal.
I’ve seen one of those combo things in my entire life. They’re awful but certainly not common. The front loading machines allow you to have the machine inset under a kitchen counter which is a common place for them in the UK. Separate “laundry rooms” aren’t common and neither are basements so the machine needs to fit in other use environments. I used top loading machines for a while when living in Canada and had constant problems with the detergent staining clothes.

Regarding the sizing again, I’ve never had a problem. I’ve also never heard of anybody washing a comforter (although I don’t call it a comforter so maybe I’m misunderstanding what you mean). A comforter (or duvet) has a cover on it and you wash the cover.
> I'm sure this can (and does) happen basically anywhere, but according to this article one state in India alone has 40k "dead" people, so the scale is way different.

India has about 20 times the population of France. So if it's normal for something to happen to 2k people in France, then that alone scales up to 40k people in India.

> Trust me, searching through a stack trace on a centralised logging system isn’t fun.

A stack trace is still better than a one line error with no context. It's a kind of 80% solution - it's not ideal (a perfect error includes only the relevant context), but getting it's much better for 0 effort than error codes/values give you for free.

> If you’re writing software that doesn’t do input validation and bounds check then you’re a failure of a developer. Sorry but this is the bare minimum I’d expect a developer to do.

So what is the profound difference between doing input validation in your own code vs letting the array accessor do it?

> minimize our privacy.

That’s not a neutral stance. The idea that anything that happens on a computer should be completely free of law, trace or any kind of governmental control is not just a stance of “we want privacy” and in fact most of the pushes are just establishing the exact same level of accountability that you have always had in pre-digital financial systems.

The government has always asked you to truthfully under penalty of law report your income and financial activities. The fact that it was difficult for them to tell if you lied is not a question about rights that’s a question of accountability.

The government has always had financial regulations for banks, financial institutions and securities, the fact that it has been easy for people to ignore those rules is not a question of rights, it’s a question about accountability.

You claim neutrality but the very framing of the discussion you take is an extremist point of view. It’s essentially like saying “The civil war was about states rights and I’m neutral about if they where right”
If you are ever on the hiring side of the fence, you will have a better understanding of what people are looking for. Companies generally have a stock way of describing the qualifications for programmers, but what they actually want is someone who can do the work and make them money. When you apply for a job, that is what you want to get across.

Maybe if demand were low for programmers, degrees would matter a lot. It is a way to weed out people if you have too many applicants. But demand is high, and supply (from what I understand) is relatively low. So work on selling yourself. I imagine people's github profiles mean more than a degree does these days.

But please note: I am an American former programmer, so take what I write with a grain of salt.

I agree that this alway needs tweaking, improvements. And some countries need more election laws to help clean things up a bit.

But there will always be strife, otherwise, everything is perfect, therefore, why even try to change the status quo?

I have couple of iDevices lying around in need of battery replacement, I decided to remove the bulged battery from iPad Air 2(for safety) and in the process destroyed the display, The ribbon cable tore like tissue paper) and cut my finger(I've been repairing my electronics all my life, this was the first time with Apple devices).

My next plan was to order replacement display, batteries for that iPad and iPhone from iFixit but after a hard-thought I decided to not put any more money into this ecosystem and rather buy a PineTab (which cost cheaper than the replacement parts for the iDevices).
