If you need protection against malicious states or corporations specifically targeting you, this isn't good enough for the reasons you point out.

If you just want to avoid google tracking you via their various services to show you ads, this is probably sufficient.
Most probably because that tiny glider with a rocket bolted to it, is pushing more / has more dangerous limits than a subsonic airliner.
It's much faster to go outside the designed flight envelope if you're 3x supersonic at FL800 than cruising subsonic at FL320.
Well, when each country does that it becomes economically unfeasible. Such fines work and work very well, once FB realizes that they lose more money from unethical behavior than they make, they'll stop it. I don't believe that any corporation is evil. I do believe that there are temptations to do bad things in order to make money, even if short term. This corrects such behavior. Hopefully.
I covered the examples you cited already. Rampant inflation happens when people lose faith in the currency. That isn’t what’s happening here.

Trouble is that most 'bad' companies (banks/pharma in particular) allocate and write off money for fines as a cost of doing business.

These fines won't cripple a company, it will just allow them to test what limits they can push and so on.
Something a colleague once showed me: if you open PowerPoint and try to add a video to a slide, it also lets you record your screen. You can draw a rectangle anywhere and start recording. Finally, you just save the video and discard the presentation.

If they don't fix the issue they get a bigger fine next time.
I think it's unreasonable to expect so much from a company that doesn't make money.

The non-desktop docker product on it's own is crazy good, I think it's reasonable to expect docker desktop to improve once docker actually makes money from it and can afford to hire more engineers to work on it.
Multi-tenant virtual machines would be cool. One step closer to the grid computing and software agents (and flying cars) nirvana we were promised.

Whatever happened to Java multi-tenant JVMs (aka MVM)? I always expected that to become the norm.

Under the GDPR, fines can be up to 4% of world-wide revenue. I think the 225m fine should be seen as a first warning.
A substantial amount of the power generation in California comes from solar, whose output peaks at noon and drops off substantially in the evening. This leads to a situation in the 4-10 PM range where power usage is still at peak levels, but power generation has fallen off due to the drop in solar output. Natural gas peaker plants are used to fill that shortfall.

The California ISO publishes near real-time statistics on the grid where you can see this effect: https://www.caiso.com/TodaysOutlook/Pages/supply.html

Interesting technically but not really economically. Gravity is just not a very strong force compared to chemical bonds so you need humongous amounts of mass and a fairly large height difference to store an equivalent amount of energy as a few containers worth of batteries.

There is a reason that even though we've had the technology to make moving mass batteries for decades, the only form of such energy storage in operation today is pumped hydro.
Podman is great because we dont get root access on our boxes at work.

Even if it is a manufacturing defect, defects are not all created equal. Something that affects one machine out of 1 million can be a bonafide defect, but how much of a concern should it be in the general sense?
I know that HN loves calling everything a bait and switch, but this is not that. It’s a useful product - despite so many here that apparently use it but insist that it’s useless. Docker wants to grow their revenue and is going to start charging companies (who also presumably have some revenue) a fee for the product.

Absolutely normal business strategy.
Something to be aware of when considering a purchase of this device, is the fact that Google will stop providing security updates after August of 2023. GrapheneOS will also stop doing so after that date. This means you'll get a maximum of 2 years of usage out of this phone.
And of course no kill switch.
> I'm not aware of anything that works in practice, except for legally enforced copyright for at least a handful of years.

We have had legally enforced copyright all this time so why would any company take the risk and try out another business model. That we did not see one does not mean one is impossible.

The money spend on copyrighted content would not just disappear without copyright and could be funneled into content by patrons or via grants. Big-budged productions are also already getting funded by product placment and other sponsort-type deals.

Then there is also a cultural aspect: The existence of copyright creates a society where sharing is often not seen as a good thing. Where people are less willing to pay for the creation of something if that would mean that freeloaders could then get it without paying.

And last, I don't agree with your implication that the current big-budget films and TV are something that needs to be protected. Yes, changing funding models might change what kind of content is produced, but never in human history has there been a lack of demand for entertainment or lack of entertainment to fill that demand.
> Baseload should be handled by nuclear.

Nuclear is already a bad idea under normal circumstances, given that no country has a long-term solution for dealing with the waste, molten-salt reactors are vaporware (usually because it turns out molten salts are highly aggressive) and fusion has been "it's ready in a decade!!!" for like, what, half a century now. And that doesn't even take stuff like "who, other than the taxpayer, will foot the bill for tearing the reactors down" or "who, other than the taxpayer, picks up the tab in the case of an accident" and other financial questions. Nuclear is only "cheaper" because these side effects get conveniently ignored!

But it is an especially dumb idea in California with its earthquake fault lines. Have two large reactor accidents not proven by now that nuclear fission is extremely unsafe?

Who’s going to fund your open source alternative? Definitely not you, since Docker asking companies to pay a fee is somehow preposterous.
Do you know or reccomend and other sites that discuss similar subjects to HN?
It is worth noting that setting up a local demo with their docker-compose based script is roughly 30s of work:

mkdir listmonk-demo
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/knadh/listmonk/master/install-demo.sh)"

This will setup a local server on localhost:9000.

That said, I would personally recommend inspecting the bash script first before running it. The script in this case is not malicious, but it's a good habit to have.

It seems Faber-Castell also has this. E.g., https://d2j6dbq0eux0bg.cloudfront.net/images/28404083/189426... , the sign below "Triangular Grip" indicates that. I've been using the ordinary 12-pack and I remember reading about this on their packaging.

Of course, there are a lot of ways to explain this but it seems strange to me it did not converge on a patent dispute this being Germany, and they already had a lawsuit over claims on being the oldest manufacturer, what's another one between friends.

In the article the batteries max power output is 30 MW

It represents less than 10% of the max power output of the plant (380 MW)

When I read "The battery section will provide four hours of storage capacity at full discharge" I understand that it will provide 4h x 30MW = 120 MWh of energy. Do you understand it as 4h x 380 MW = 1520 MWh of energy ?

[EDIT] From other source [1] it seems my interpretation is the correct one: "The onsite battery storage facility will be capable of providing 30MW of continuous power for four hours."

That completely changes the narrative: the total energy the battery storage can deliver by itself is less than what the solar + wind provides at full power in half an hour. Also, this amount of energy will be delivered at a peak power of less than 10% than the peak power of Solar + Wind

Not a word about reducing consumption?

Americans consume more power than almost anyone and it's not improving our lives. Most of us can reduce our consumption 75% just on simple life improvements, at home and business. Nothing pollutes less than leaving the fuel in the ground. (Source: I'm not special and reduced mine about 90% and going. My latest electric bill was $4 and change (plus fixed line fees). In the spring I hit $1.40, as I wrote up in https://joshuaspodek.com/i-used-2-5-the-average-americans-el... and https://joshuaspodek.com/12-sustainability-leadership-lesson...).

It's a question of values and which ones we want to live by. Stewardship, family, community, resilience, enjoying what we have, humility toward nature, meaning, and purpose are always available but we have to choose them.
Sure, but as far as I understand democracy, for it to really work you need well informed citizens. I would say that metric isn't trending up in most countries on Earth at this moment.

Please provide any proof they work at all. Facebook has been fined larger amounts previously and continues to receive more fines for violations of user privacy. I would say there is currently very strong proof in the real world against what you’re assuming is true. Until a fine is ~10% of their stock value they won’t even consider it. This might as well be free for Facebook.
Similarly, what is the present feasibility of energy transmission via laser using satellites?
Yes, I totally agree that ‚why do we need this’ is crucial. But I ve seen to many cases in which main target was to develop instead pf give real benefit. Maybe it is caused by some companies immaturity in Ai field, just guessing.
> People still buy crypto with dollars and they have shown an obsession with the dollar value

This is an unfair criticism. When I travel to a different country I think about their currency in terms of my home country's currency.

People are "obsessed" with the dollar value because crypto is not currently the main currency/asset/payment method/whatever you want to call it.
So your point is that you (personally) don’t like their business model, and don’t like funding the company that created the free Docker software and ecosystem that you use all the time?
How many Pixels have they got?
Personally there are many ways to implement machine learning in production and this resource does a good job on giving you a detailed grand tour of all the fundamentals you need to think about. And to make the concepts more concrete, each unit has code implementation for an end-to-end project.

While some lessons can stand to be more well connected to the end-to-end project, the sheer amount of detail on some of the lessons simply don't exist anywhere else. The testing (https://madewithml.com/courses/mlops/testing/) and monitoring (https://madewithml.com/courses/mlops/monitoring/) lessons are clear examples of this.
Oh I agree; everything is a matter of making informed compromises.

I just thought the phrasing was a bit odd and absolutist, and somewhat misleading. I'd generally put a reasonable amount of trust in a Titan M personally - the risk factor compared to Play Services is minuscule - but I still want to be aware of the mechanisms of risk. Implying it's non-existent doesn't help anyone.
What do you mean by "index yield"? Average p/e ratio is 35 from what I am googling so that's 3% right there. As there is not much incentives to make profit (better to invest, buy other companies etc.) It should be higher than 3%.
If you mean dividend yield then it's a completely meaningless metric for obvious reasons. The only thing dividends matter for is assessing growth potential and how well the company is run (inverse correlation with both).

I think it's completely crazy to expect returns of 7-8% as they historically were. My view is that equities were criminally undervalued for decades, they are still undervalued but at least more reasonably priced now. It will take a while. I think it will a better world if you can't just get 7% or 5% or w/e almost risk free return. Once the returns are closer to 0 there will be incentive to deploy capital to create value which will be better for most, especially for the working class.

For AI better speech recognition is widely used and has a ton of benefits. For example nearly all radiologists use voice dictation in order to write faster/better/more reports.
Moreover, not everybody is fluent in English. Considering the article is about an EU-related fine, where less than 1% of the population uses English as mother-tongue, I'd say trying to be as accessible as possible is good.
Getting a bank loan (as a company) is actually really difficult in Germany, despite bank rate being negative for years now. Even for a business that does astoundingly well it will be very hard to get a loan if income is consistently re-invested -- so essentially banks only wanna lend money to businesses who have no need for it.

[1] is an interesting lit review on what drug strategies have been tried where in the world.

None of these papers seem to present strong clinical evidence that these drugs have actually been effective, vs some hidden covariate or something. A couple include interesting small-sample observational studies, but as I understand it those haven’t panned out in follow-on randomized controlled trials that have been done.

There are also a couple essentially viewpoint articles that are interesting. [2] is basically a pharmacokinetic calculation motivating further study, but no clinical data.

[4] is a hypothesis piece about hydroxychloroquine that draws on nine other studies. Haven’t been able to evaluate those because [4] is not open access, but this is one of the drugs that has not lived up to expectations in various RCTs that have been completed…

K-12 is paid for by local taxpayers, at an annual per student rate around $12k, about the highest rate in the world. If you can get taxpayers to pay an even higher rate for college education, then college would be covered too.

Of course, this means you'll still be paying for college, as a taxpayer instead of as an attendee.
I'm not sure which point you think you're refuting. Renewable options are here and are being used and grid storage is a solved problem, though with the current balkanised and underfunded state of the US grid it is unsurprising there are significant ongoing problems there caused by lack of long term investment in infrastructure.

IMO existing nuclear plants should be kept until they can be replaced easily, and the US may well take decades to do so as they are very slow on the uptake. Other countries are doing a lot better, some have reached 100% power from renewables already for short periods of time and are on track to do it for long periods in the coming decades.

Greenhouse emissions are not rising in the US, they are gradually falling as renewable options become cheaper and are built out and EVs spread:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_gas_emissions_by_th...

I'd expect them to keep falling given transport and electricity generation are the main sources.
Who else is protesting by still refusing the new terms and conditions?!

> Can i create a holding company, co-owned between me and next-of-kin and "invest" my money in it then let them liquidate?

You'll always have to transfer the stock to your next-of-kin somehow. This is where a tax would apply.

> Can i loan them the money?

Yes, but they'll need to pay it back someday. That makes the debt a taxable asset. (i.e. when you inherit you inherit the "asset" = the obligation, which is taxed with 50%)

> Can i gift them money?

In Germany the gift tax is the same as the inheritance tax.

> Can i store in trust?

Yes, and that's why I agree with you. It's just not as simple to avoid inheritance tax as you make it out to be.
Affordable housing is a jobs problem. If you could take your job anywhere then the idea of "unaffordable" housing wouldn't even make sense. Location is a monopoly and it derives its powers from many things, for most people it is simply the availability of jobs.

Well, while I like a lot of things about Graphene, at the moment there is at least one aspect of it which makes it somehow unusable (see https://github.com/GrapheneOS/os-issue-tracker/issues/24)

Currently Graphene does not support Network Location Providers. So, apps won't be able to get location when you are indoors and location lookups would be slow.

Also there is some strange conflict between Graphene and Calyx, for some reason unknown to me Graphene guys consider Calyx as "malicious project" (see https://github.com/GrapheneOS/os-issue-tracker/issues/632#is...). At the same time they use SeedVault which is developed by Calyx. I guess they need to add some notes on this into their FAQ.

So, while I think that Graphene has a lot of good properties (e.g. sandboxed Play Services are MUCH better than microg) and is somehow superior to Calyx, I won't recommend Graphene to a regular user who is privacy concerned but doesn't want to trade too much for privacy. For such people CalyxOS (probably a self-build) looks like a better option.
