I´m really confused by some of the items on the list, but I only live out of the car for short periods of time (one week max) and not as a long term solution, but as a short term adventure. That said:

The mattress is nice, but if you make your car your living room, why not go all the way and buy a real foam mattress? The price is not much higher than this luxurious air mattress. Plus, you can get a larger foam mattress and cut it to fit precisely. I usually just use an extra thick self inflating camping mat. Good enough for a week.

The fridge: they´re a pain. Most car fridges use a Peltier cell instead of a compressor, so their efficiency and performance is bad (they can only generate so much difference in temperature).

The stove is ridiculously overpriced. I got mine for like one tenth of that and it boils water fast enough, even in windy condition. The biggest price hike here is a (copper?) heat exchanger. Which is nice if you are tight on gas and need to make the most out of it, but in a car you can carry a larger supply of gas. A bigger gas cartridge would be a huge improvement here: the larger the surface of the liquid gas, the faster it evaporates, which is super important in the winter. I had mine almost go out in very cold conditions. Plus, it adds stability, that big pot on small cartridge on a rock looks like a spilled soup waiting to happen.

The shades: I went another way, buying the deepest, darkest tint for my windows I legally could. As long as I have no light inside, I can use the car as an observation station, I see everything outside of it while staying hidden.

Sporks: they´re ridiculous. You´ve got a full car worth of space and cannot pack a cutlery set? Please.

The roof rack is indispensable. A lockable and sturdy storage for your roof is genius for camping like this.

What I would add:

Light. A headlamp won´t cut it, buy a small battery powered camping lamp. Adds a nice soft lightning and you won´t have to worry about shining into someones eyes.

Pillows. Yes, you can spend a few nights with a hoodie crumpled under your head, but a pillow adds a lot of comfort.

Shoe storage: you don´t want to sleep with your shoes in the same room, especially when also hiking. A lockable ventilated box that goes under the car is the way to go.

>> So, look, if you’re filling your car with some fancy, expensive gear, you want to protect it.

That seems to be the problem of this article. Fanciness and wow effect over function. Keep it simple, sweetie.
Re potential features such as blood pressure, there's an ArsTechnica article [1] today that might be useful - if you like Ars, that is.

Headline and sub-head read:

> Report: Big new health features are coming to the Apple Watch—just not this year

> Temperature and blood glucose tracking could arrive as soon as 2022.

Ars refers to the conflicting analyst reports in its intro:

Analysts and reporters have published conflicting reports about what to expect from the next Apple Watch. Some, like Nikkei, claimed it will have new health sensors, but others like Bloomberg's Mark Gurman have said that this year's model will offer no major new hardware features amidst production constraints.

My team is trying (something like) this pattern out. Initially I had the sentiment that many commentators here had, “this feels like re-inventing HTML”.

After discussing more the benefits, I am in favor of us using the pattern because it means we’re moving a lot of complex logic about deciding which “tiles” to show off of the front end client(s) where it can be hard to maintain. We’re centralizing it one place in the backend and surfacing higher level decisions to hide or show the tile, rather than surfacing lower level data the clients need to crunch and reduce into a decision about a tiles visibility . Since the server is a single place to determine which tile to show, we can do things like quickly disable a feature for whatever reason.

We’re cognizant it could become over complicated if we try to do something like reinventing flex box, but I think that using the pattern tactfully is sensible. We’re specifically only doing SDUI to decide which “tiles” to show, not to try to power things like the layout which we are hard coding on the client. I think of it less as SDUI (buzzword) and instead think of it as a helpful way for my teammates to understand “thin client fat API”
Yes, you also have to suffer being sick which can be very bad even if it doesn't kill you.

It's a sign of the weird conversations going on in our times that Science Magazine feels the need remind people that getting sick is bad in the title of this article.

I bought my first AW for the fitness aspects, but the above has become just as important. I'm not in a position where I can turn off all notifications, but I can glance at my AW mid conversation when I get a notification w/o missing a beat. If it's something I need to handle, I can excuse myself. Otherwise, it is way less of an interruption.

This is music theory for the 20th century, its what I got at school, dry and boring and instantly forgettable.
I got re-learned music theory in a pub by a guy who could do heavy metal growling among other real world music skills and never looked back.

Music must be enjoyable or it ain't music.
You're aware also that storage of all the nuclear waste produced since the beginning of nuclear power to today would require a remarkably small amount of space, which even in conditions of political turmoil (when are conditions not in some state of turmoil, often far worse than today?) is far from as hard to find as you're painting it with your fearful idea of all governments collapsing "eventually".

Specifically, for the U.S at least, in 2018, there were just over 80,000 metric tonnes of high-level waste that have been generated since the 1950's to now, all capable of fitting inside a single football field to a depth of just under 10 meters, and no more than 400,000 tonnes globally. That's pretty much all of it so far (sources: https://www-pub.iaea.org/MTCD/Publications/PDF/P1799_web.pdf, https://www.energy.gov/ne/articles/5-fast-facts-about-spent-... ). Between 1971 and 2018, nuclear reactors in the USA generated 3000 GW-years of electricity to make their 80,000 tonnes.

Also, given the average density of most spent nuclear fuel, 80,000 or even 400,000 tonnes is not a tremendous physical volume to find some safe place for in the largely stable countries where most of it has been produced for many decades. There are far more immediately dangerous substances and objects in much less stable storage conditions all over the world (small arms, conventional explosives, landmines, toxic chemicals we have no way of not producing etc) that should warrant far more concern for the deaths they could or even do already cause per ton of weight....

Also, to debunk a few general misconceptions about storing nuclear waste. Yes the source has a certain bias, but it delivers well-reasoned points and offers sources of its own: https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/nuclear-fuel-c...
>If you believe the former, you can start preparing for a world after capital, because capital has little point without scarcity. If you believe the later, the former program sounds like a formula for the manufacture of scarcity.

Where is the middle ground? The capital is the source of abundance. You need to maintain and take care of it. Neither side is willing to do that. The liberals will neglect it resulting in scarcity. The conservatives will destroy it because they can't handle abundance.

Zimbabwe had liberal land reforms that neglected doing actual farm work.

The conservatives will abolish farm subsidies to prevent overproduction of grains because they believe the extra labor can be used on something more productive. Then a drought hits and you don't have enough food.

Where is the middle ground? Build and create capital but also let it stay idle if its not needed rather than dismantling it.
Hurricane Ida: Before and after images reveal devastation
Hydro has significant issues as well. You need a massive flooded area, displacing many people and animals, and you totally disrupt the downstream ecology of the river. (See the Aswan dam)

It also doesn’t produce a ton of power. The Three Gorges Dam is a colossal project, displaced literally millions, cost a frightful amount of money, and produces 1% of China’s power. Also, if that thing ever breaks, many millions will die.

Should have been a couple of small nuclear plants.

Regarding hydro storage, it’s the same exact thing, except now you need two dams, one high and one low. This isn’t a practical solution everywhere, certainly not at a national scale.
Sciencemag usually have titles that don't fit in HN, sacrifices have to be made...
It’s easy to cause triple-NAT if you tether to a phone, or if you run VMs at home...

One of the vexing things about IPv4 (which is not really fixed by IPv6) is that endpoint devices are connected to the network but not really part of the network: there are different sets of protocols for connectivity within the network, and at the edge of the network. So an edge device (your phone, your VM host) can’t easily extend the network to more downstream systems (tethered devices, VMs) without hacks that hide the cluster from the network so the whole thing still appears to be a single device.
There are lots of cools aspects of podman, for the admin one the real nice things is its integration with systemd.

podman generate systemd <containerid>

to generate .service files which can then be launched via systemd.
MicroTik is solid and I used one of their routers for a few years. However, there's no support with mDNS across VLANs. You can obviously roll your own solution, but who has time for that? I prefer to have my IoT devices on a separate VLAN. Without support from the router, you're SoL if you want your devices to be discoverable by HomeKit and other services.

At the moment I'm using Unifi for my router, but I'd consider switching to something as secure as Mikrotik but with support for mDNS across VLANs.

> It’s fission, not fusion.

Fixed the typo, thanks.

> You mention solar panels. What are the externalities of those? Lots of harsh chemicals go into batteries, and we need a buttload of batteries to make solar work at scale.

Battery production in itself isn't as toxic as you make it out to be.

> But we have no plan at all for longterm storage of CO2 or battery/solar panel chemicals.

Long term CO2 storage has an easy concept: trees. Solar panels can easily be recycled these days - they are mostly glass - and battery recycling efforts are already underway, they should be at mass scale once the problem becomes relevant (since even used electric car batteries can have a long second life as decentral storage units).

> Regarding the accidents, I can only assume you mean Three Mile Island and Chernobyl or perhaps the Japanese tsunami. If you look into it a bit more you’ll notice that those were technologically ancient reactors.

Most reactors in operation today are ancient reactors, new constructions (Flamanville!) are plagued by cost and time overruns that put the infamous BER airport to shame, and possibly-new constructions (MSRs) are a pipe dream and/or have plutonium proliferation concerns.

> They all got hit by a massive tsunami, much more than the design spec called for.

California is deemed way overdue for a big earthquake (per https://www.cbsnews.com/news/california-earthquake-drought-o... and others). It is a really, really bad idea to build a nuclear plant anywhere close.

The pithy answer is “That’s why people build them in deserts.” However, electric grids need excess capacity spread across large areas for when demand spikes and stuff breaks. Luckily peak demand doesn’t line up with wide scale rain as AC demand falls.

Also, PV unlike concentrated solar does produce power during storms it’s just significantly less than normal.

You can have an outrageous amount of something that is not intrinsically bad. Money, or wealth in general, is not a bad thing in itself, but its distribution can be outrageous.
Since nobody bothered to read the article: They're installing five 30MW gas generators, which will probably be run a handful of times a year. This provides 1/15 the capacity of the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant and a tiny fraction of california's solar capacity. It's a tiny amount of power/greenhouse gas/whatever, no matter how you look at it.
So acting as a tax haven was not enough, they also have to undermine every other EU regulation to keep their cash cows happy? Can't we just kick them out already?

SF is a tough genre to swallow. If that's the question I can't offer you much without qualification. Gibson is a particularly egregious desecrator of English but only one. The genre gravitates to pulp. These are fantasy novels not just in their imaginary worlds, but in their imaginary psychology. Pulp fetishizes thin, simplified inner lives and relationships. That's as much part of the escapism as the tech. Enjoy it if you can but if you don't know what good prose is already, you won't learn it from Gibson.
We have been using something similar called “Sendy” for a few years now to leverage the cost benefits of AWS and SES. The licence fees are very reasonable and setup instructions are good.
If I were to install a Linux distro for my father again I would probably use NixOS, because he won't be installing packages, and then just maintaining the config file, automatic upgrades and killing older generations just works. Staying with stable and possibly having to patch the config sligtly (to fix upgrades) every 6m.

The learning curve is higher once you wanna start building software that isn't packaged already, that's when you'll have to learn to write nix expressions.

I've been planning to package FRRouting for NixOS, It'd be the perfect OS for a router, atomic forward and backwards rolls. (Except for user data, but that could be solved with ZFS snapshots, NixOS makes it VERY easy to use ZOL).

Nix is super unique, you can set up your own Hydra (the Nix build bot), run your own package cache, fork and maintain your own stuff. It's really more like working with code than maintaining a system.

Another great thing is that with Nix, once a problem is solved once, It's solved forever (Since literally everything defining your system is under version control).

I love it, but i wish to learn the Nix language proper and contribute back.

> If someone wrote such a proposal…

So, in this scenario:

* hiring manager tells the candidate they’ll get a “quick promotion”, but only if they “don’t suck”.

* candidate responds with proposed clarifications of “speedy” and “suck”.

* hiring manager drops candidate from consideration.

Did I get this right?

> And I'm highly skeptical a company will agree to a milestones-rewards plan for an individual employee.

And yet hiring managers play fast and loose with employee expectations all the time, even if their company would never honor such promises as a matter of policy.

How would you propose a candidate determine whether the hiring manager is making promises in good faith?
