Reading those specs... I don't see any reason to buy it. It is worse than my current 1 TB WD Blacks (spinning disk, not SSD). And much more expensive too! I feel disappointed now... I was hoping SSDs would have been improved by now enough to make them good value for money for someoen that needs crazy amounts of storage.
Building a search engine is mundane compared to developing CPUs. It is a matter of brute work basically, an army of programmers. CPU design is a lot more sophisticated.
This is an inappropriate, garbage use of HN.
Sure? All of these evil companies have had many, many good quarters (decades worth...which is pretty long term) and now have tens of billions of quarterly profits at their disposal to invest in wherever the next decades of demand will be.
Eschewing profits now to fuel growth with the intention of making large profits later is the exact opposite of that.

Cargo culting one’s way to attempt obtaining results seems like the default approach of leadership unable to really adapt the proper lessons from other organizations and apply them to their own. If I as a person look up to a world class bodybuilder as a scrawny weakling, the solution to achieve that goal isn’t to just eat like a bodybuilder but to train like one and that usually means dropping other activities like playing a bunch of video games (not that it’s mutually exclusive - see Henry Cavill). But we as humans do the same thing all the time (how many people think of rich people in terms of consumption or some sets of personalities from popular media rather than to look at the data fully). However, there is a lot to learn and enjoy in the process, and companies that do well learn to have clear goals and processes that seem genuine and that employees can connect with. When people stop feeling this connection, they simply stop doing the habits at the individual (not working out, relapsing, etc) or disengage in organizations (burn out, disillusionment, etc)

City and state governments can offer temporary tax breaks for building new housing in certain zones to attract capital. This is already done in a way when government is trying to attract capital for new industries via SEZs.

I'm not excusing it, I curse Slack every day I have to use their Electron app (though mostly just use it in a browser tab now) but we have this exact same conversation every time anything about Electron is posted on HN. None of the parameters for making the choice have changed since the last time we did.

Your example is straightforward cocercion, it's not what Gramsci was talking about. He argued that culture and religion instill bourgeois values.

It's very tricky to tell people that their desires, beliefs, culture, and religion are merely ruses to further domination. It blurs the line between coercion and consent. It seems to suggest, paradoxically, that people can only consent to things that they ought to consent to, according to the beliefs of the person making the judgement (in this case a Marxist intellectual).

People need to remember that using up the available renewable energy on crypto just means there's less available for other consumers to use. The idea is to reduce electrical demand which makes it easier to shift towards 100% renewable. Adding all that electrical demand just keeps around non-renewable energy longer since few countries are able to go 100% renewable on their current demand.
It's software development. It's true that the scope is flexible, but it's not to a point that I think I'm doing an uneven amount of work compared to what I'm being paid, and if the additional features are too big then we begin working on the scope for another bid.

To avoid major bugs, I make it clear up front that if they stick with the stack that I choose for them (which is a stack and development pattern I've been using for the past 4+ years), the product will be delivered quicker versus if they need to use a specific stack.

Typically the client doesn't care how the product is built and generally doesn't care how it looks as long as it's easy to use and does the job they need. Everything is outlined in the bid/contract so there are no hidden surprises about the work being done.

Fixing under-engineered code vs. fixing over-engineered code
>Ah yes, competition is what causes higher prices.

Since no one said that, I don't know what you are talking about. This has nothing to do with competition being bad or good. The US isn’t the only country with private insurance. The US model competes in a fee-for-service model, instead of based on things like positive health outcomes through global budgeting, like Germany or Canada. The US model has providers negotiate prices which each individual insurer, with the actual costs being hidden and complex, instead of a transparent “all-payer reimbursement rate” for each provider[1]. Maryland, the only state to use global budgeting and all-payer reimbursement, is saving over $100,000,000 per year on healthcare spending compared to the national average[2].

I really do not understand how people can act like quality healthcare at lower prices is some utopian dream, and not the reality in every single high-income country except the US. That people can look at the US spending 3 times more money on paper pushing as the next highest country, while not even cracking the top 10 in spending on preventive or long-term healthcare, and throw their hands up and say “its unsolvable!” [3] How people can look at the American’s barely middle of the road health outcomes and think the out of control spending is somehow actually leading to quality care. The condescending dismissive attitude in the face of mountains of data from working healthcare systems around the world is truly stunning.

> One of the most often cited results from Sheehan et al. is that the fossil energy ratio of biodiesel is equal to 3.2. In other words, biodiesel yields 3.2 units of energy for every unit of fossil energy consumed over its life- cycle.

> Recently, a 5.54 fossil energy ratio (FER) was reported [1] which means one unit of fossil energy input is required to produce 5.54 units of biodiesel energy output. This FER shows a stunning energy return of biodiesel that surpasses other fuels [2].

Seems fine. And that's probably without even trying to use all electric equipment.
FWIW, this isn't new. Netflix has been showing custom thumbnails for almost a decade now. If the author is getting nothing but scantily clad people, it's because they mostly click on thumbnails with scantily clad people.
I see the connection, what I'm suggesting is that you knew what they meant when they said guy, meaning you did not need to suggest that they thought women didn't exist on the internet, nor did you need to suggest that they were assuming everybody on the internet is a man.

Both of those statements are bad faith.
You can run an industrialized economy on renewable energy. It just wouldn't look the same as the one we have developed in the presence of fossil fuels.

If there were a colony of modern humans established on an Earth-like planet that lacked surface coal seams, didn't have limestone deposits for cement, and lacked oil fields, you wouldn't expect them to shrug and say "Well, back to the stone age, I guess."

No, instead, they'd set up smart grid networks to use power when wind and solar were available and consume less energy when it was not. They'd use DC-DC converters that were more flexible under brownouts, where early energy systems didn't have that technology and had to rely on fixed transformers and fixed frequencies. They'd connect long distance, high-voltage lines between areas with hydro and geothermal energy to regions without, using pumped hydro storage when variable energy sources had excesses. Yes, they'd run Sabatier process factories to generate synthetic hydrocarbons for plastics and portable fuels, they'd precipitate calcium carbonate from ocean salts and atmospheric CO2 to make cements and ceramics; these would probably be less plentiful as a result of their cost and because they'd be aware that they don't decay but they wouldn't be nonexistent.

Our energy systems are moving bit by painful bit in this direction already. Indian, African, and other growing economies are growing in a world where renewables are cheap, where we have tech that makes them more usable, and where there's a lot of knowledge about climate and environmental science so they don't have to make the same mistakes we did.

Yes, the industrialized world works the way it does because of a history of fossil fuels. It may even have been impossible to jump-start the industrial revolution without them. But it doesn't have to remain that way.
Cryptomining incentivizes green energy investment
Dunno - my Italian partner refers to fresh thick focaccia when we're in Italy as 'pizza', so I think there's a little missing from the translation into English.

Suffice to say, I think Italians have a wee bit more of a right to define the word than I do.

Oh man, I just ran into this. I work on a product that has a 3rd party API so other people can write plug-ins to extend the functionality of the app. It's great for users and developers. We received a bug report related to a particular plug-in, so I went to download their demo to see if the problem was on our end or theirs before contacting them. Here's how the process went:

1) Go to their website and click "Download"
2) Prompted to enter email address with no way to opt out. Shit. Go to mailinator.com and create a fake email address to enter. Enter it.
3) Wait for them to send the real download link to my fake email.
4) It came in almost instantly. Great! Click on the link.
5) Click to download the installer package. Wait a few minutes.
6) Run the installer package.
7) It needs the same email address and password so it knows I'm a "legitimate user" just to install the thing.
8) After entering it, it kicks me back to the web page for some reason. No idea what it's looking for or what I'm supposed to do on the web site, so I go back to the installer. Oh it's not an installer. It's an installer installer. It's going to download the installer I want from a list of dozens of possible installers. Download the real installer.
9) Run the real installer - It lists dozens of products. Find the one I want. Install it.
10) Prompted for email and password again.

And keep in mind this is all before I'm actually a customer. I haven't paid anything and am trying to evaluate the software to determine if it fits my needs. (Or I would be if I were an end user.) Honestly, if this weren't for my job, I would have given up on step 2. Fuck these people. I'm trying to save them time by seeing whether the bug is ours or theirs, but they're actively wasting mine and everyone else's who downloads this crap.
Overload is, it becomes disorganized after adding on too many things. BATF for example, eventually one big text file gets filled with no longer relavent things, and it becomes hard to navigate to find whats important.
At my funded company: external accountant / renta-cfo, selected from a list of two or three shared by one of the VCs. We could have fought for a person we wanted, but why? At early stages, one competent cfo is probably the same as any other. That person attends board meetings and directly communicates with the board.
That's totally true, but it's also true that if we reined in consumption, altered our habits and focused on reusing more then we are doing two things. First, we're taking ownership for our responsibility in this whole mess (acknowledging that there are trees in this forest), and second we're hurting oil companies where it counts. If we don't consume they can't supply.

If we wait for our governments to hold them to account we're not going to get anywhere.
The 400 figure (or even 350) is for the “metro area”, but while metro might sound like city, it’s not. That’s a huge area with large swaths of rural land. There are large municipalities with under 30ppl/sq km which lie inside the metro area. This scenery is pretty typical: (try to streetview-walk to city hall…)

https://www.google.com/maps/@59.8794892,18.8876507,3a,75y/da...

The confusion is probably because the “greater Stockholm” and “Stockholm metro area” were defined to be synonymous.

So greater stockholm isn’t even a city + suburbia, it’s downright rural for the most part (which is of course evident by the 400 number). Next to me is a 20sq km national park forest, for example.

The density in Stockholm city proper is 4-5000 per square km which is pretty typical. It’s simply surrounded by a massive area of very low density which is still called the metro area.

Also what areas are included in such density measures? Buildable land or also including e.g. water? if you consider the amount of area consisting of water in central Stockholm, the density per land square km must be quite high if it’s the overall density that is 4-5000/sq.km

Dramatically increasing the density in the city itself would require building tall buildings in what is currently (most likely) green space in the city. That’s not possible for the foreseeable future. There are a few highrises popping up on former industrial land in central locations, but it’s not going to make a big difference.

There is no problem building housing in the largely rural Stockholm metro area, but far from the city there isn’t much demand either.

I’m not saying there isn’t a lack of construction - but the areas where there is both demand and space aren’t as large as one might think just because the density overall is low.
I'm less troubled that the censorship actually happened, as much as I am troubled by the increasing demand for such censorship. social media networks give you all the tools you could possibly want to prevent you from seeing posts you don't want to see, but that's not good enough—people are demanding that people get deplatformed for speech. ubiquitous smartphone and social media access brought about the slow death of the "libertarian free speech haven" aspect of the Web, and there's no reason to think those ideals will come back into vogue anytime soon.
There is a market for the products they supply at the price they offer, there is a demand for return on investment they provide in a global financial system (and just try to disconnect from that).

I hate that companies are ruining the environment, I hate that companies are killing people with unsafe products, I hate that companies are mistreating workers, I hate that countries have bullied their way over indigenous peoples to "own" the country I live it, I hate that companies profit off of promoting things that destroy humanity as we used to know it.

But I don't see there being a clear line between who is "good" and who is "bad". My own answer, which I expect will please very few, is that we do our best in the small sphere of influence we have to be loving toward all, and beg God to save us.
When people talk about "subsidies" to oil, what they really mean is lower retail taxes for gasoline at the pump.

This isn't for the benefit of oil companies, it's to placate voters, who want to pay less at the pump.

It's not as if the US government is running around dropping truck loads of cash into insanely profitable businesses.

And no, if gasoline had higher taxes, that would not be absorbed by the oil companies. It would be passed on to the consumer just like every increase in oil prices is. Gasoline has a very flat demand curve.
Can confirm. I had several gratuitous movie posters in my room growing up, which told you very little about the actual content of the movie.

Thanks, we agree! Our program is currently targeted towards individuals, but we definitely think similar programs for companies are a great idea too.
I see more and more of these types of comments that just go so far out there as to be absurd, and I'm glad they're downvoted.

You have a long way to go to prove that this vague, evil entity called an "oil company" has a will of it's own, and that will is to destroy the world. My guess is that the will of this entity is to make money, and an unfortunate side-effect is that it damages the earths ecosystem.

But then I'm not prone to ridiculous hyperbole.
Don't see any evidence X11R3 is involved?

Another relevant point to consider is "is that 10% worth it?". The answer is absolutely yes - trust in a maps app is critical.
Aha, thanks for clarifying that! Been reading up about it and it seems like a pretty solid idea. Doesn't look like there are any major projects underway though.
(We've reached the default threading limit, so unsure if this will be visible...)

1: I don't believe there's a moral value attached to being in the waiting list. Everything else equal (completley ignoring personal situations, current housing, income etc), everyone waiting "deserves" an apartment the same amount.

2: My view is that there's actually an inverse relationship between "deservedness" (taking personal situation in to account) and amount of time waiting, especially on decade timescales. People who have been waiting for 20 years are older, have had more time to potentially save money, are arguably more likely to have a resonable housing situation. Basically they are "point wealthy", they weren't forced to spend their queuing points on a bad apartment after 8 years, they are still collecting more points waiting for the nicer ones. And the fact that they can do that, to some extent, indicate that they are in a better situation.

(2b: It would eliminate the absurd situation when people live 30 years of their life in an expensive house, collecting queue points, and then sell the house and move into a rent controlled apartment.)

3: It would incentivise/allow a centralisation of the allocation system and increase mobility between cities.

Right now each city have one or a few different queues. People are generally not signed up to all queues across the country, because of hassle and cost (each queue is like 0-20 USD / year). So if I wanted to move to say Gothenburg, I would start from zero and be years away from an apartment.

Because of this, there is no interest from anyone to create a centralised queue. If everyone joined the central queue at birth, it would be meaningless!

But with a lottery based system, a central queue would be no problem. I could just select the cities I'm interested in at the moment, and have the same chance as everyone else. I could take a "bad" apartment, because I'm still in the lottery and might win a better one to upgrade,
Aye, chillies and peppers generally are the one that blows my tiny little mind - to think of all the cultures, spanning right around the world, almost back to the Americas again - whose cuisine relies so much on those delicious things.
A stigma in recreational sports too.

See it come across as "I got 2nd place in a men's triathlon. I found out the winner is on TRT, which is not allowed. How do I get them DQed so that I can rightly claim my medal?"

Which to me makes sense, but age groupers don't get any blood testing done, so it's a bit of a he-said she-said thing.
It's mostly not ML either. There were production hiccups do to covid, increased consumer demand for chips due to covid, increased demand of mobile chips because the mobile industry is still massively growing, among other issues.

Crypto and ML are each rather small aspects of the issue at hand.
