Even "simple" solutions like those you've proposed so often wind up having unintended consequences.

For your first proposal, I wonder about folks buying a house through an LLC or trust as folks often do to protect their privacy. Are we banning that? I also wonder about inheritance - if I own a house and my parents die, leaving me their house, how long do I have to sell one to be "in compliance?". Maybe their house needs work and I'd like to spend a few months or a year fixing it up to maximize what it'll sell for. Is that ok? And speaking of timing - I remember during the wave of foreclosures after the last housing bubble, banks kept a lot of houses off the market for a while to moderate prices, rather than listing everything at once and panicking the market further. Seems like banks ought to have some leeway to maximize their return (e.g. if a house has a pool and is foreclosed on in the late fall, maybe they judge that waiting until spring would get a better response from buyers).
Agreed, also I think he's breathing into the bag not out of it. If you have a flotation device that's not fully sealed then you need to periodically re-inflate it a bit. It's the equivalent of keeping a leaky boat afloat by bailing water.
This is very interesting but I wonder if the housing crisis is not reflected in that chart because it's an average of presumably average American mortgage rates. What about California mortgage rates? I'd love to see that last chart restricted to California where the prices have skyrocketed.

The year 1816 was known as "The Year Without A Summer" because it was 3°C cooler (in France) than normal. Crops failed, and there was much misery throughout the world.

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

Scientists later determined that the 1816 temperature anomaly was caused by volcanic eruptions in 1815 and 1814, which sprayed volcanic ash and sulfuric acid into the atmosphere, thereby shading the oceans and preventing them from storing the usual amount of heat over those two years.

Our modern Civilization is more vulnerable to an average once-a-millenium volcanic eruption than it's ever been, on account of our numbers and our dependency on supply chains for our sustenance.

From the linked article: "In fact, the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization estimated the 2012 worldwide food storage to last for 74 days." (pg. 9)

Grains are useful because they store well. Storage is not economical, but it is essential for reducing the suffering which would result from an 1816-like scenario in our modern world.

Edit: the 1816 anomaly is classified as a volcanic winter [1]. Solar minimums have also resulted in years/decades with cooler summers than normal.

San Jose limits annual rent increases to 5%. That seems reasonable (unless inflation gets out of control). Tenants aren't immediately forced out of their homes if the market rate jumps 20% in one year. But landlords can still eventually raise rents to market rates spread out over several years. There's no absolute limit on maximum rent.

Ravens are among the smartest birds out there. The fact that it was not injured is probably not a matter of luck. It most likely understood to some degree the danger of spinning blades.

They're also pretty skilled at flight. A wildlife photographer snapped a few great shots with a raven landing on an eagle's back _in flight_.

For for a couple of places yes. For the literal global economy it will take years to make the switch. I think renewable energy is great and we should definitely switch to it. But the sheer scale of the transition is enormous.

From a different article that describes the same press release:

> Pfizer’s press release did not include any data on the extent to which the vaccine reduced the chances that children would become sick. Gruber [senior vice president of vaccine clinical research and development at Pfizer] said that there were not enough cases of illness to tell. But outside experts said it was reasonable to assume that similar levels of antibodies would mean similar protection from disease.

This is amazing. We have no data to prove that our magic juice does anything clinically useful to children because there simply aren't enough children getting sick. But children need MagicProtection(TM), so let's file for authorization to deliver the magic juice to children anyways.

(Of course, the vaccines have been proven effective for adults. It just happens that covid is orders of magnitude more dangerous for adults compared to children.)

Win2K, good memories. Used it for Delphi and some C++ Builder development between 2000 and 2001; pretty solid, probably more than XP (at least until XPSP2) but needed some more horsepower to use it properly.
I'm not following how moving the options out of the function parameters and into the call chain makes the actual function more maintainable. It's still doing the exact same thing with the exact same options it's just pulling them from elsewhere. If anything you now have more functions to maintain on top of the function that does many different things based on the calling info.

I believe OP's gripe is precisely this. Most people go to the wilderness to escape technology/work. There is a reason why we don't run fiber optic lines and electricity to every park and it isn't because of cost.
As much as I'm irked by language partisanism, that's typically justified on the basis of ease of installation or attracting developers. Since this otherwise great looking product is a closed source binary then it would be hard to justify.

Nuclear is risky?? I've heard the opposite, nuclear power plants tend to be extremely safe. You probably think it's risky because of 2 or 3 large scale accidents in the last 50 years or so. While those have a large impact, I don't think I would consider nuclear "extremely risky" just because of those.

One of considerations for LNG is that it's not purely an economic concern as from a country perspective energy independence might be considered just as important as climate change (in the short term) and it's worth paying some premium to secure it. Just as Europe has farming subsidy policies that essentially result in Europe paying a premium for food over what would be a "global market price" (importing more food from e.g. Africa and exporting less food), mostly in order to ensure long-term food supply independence.
I live in Germany and for whatever reason I have literally never received a spam call here. I can go months without receiving a single call these days. I'm not exactly sure if spam calls are not a thing here or if I've just been lucky. But yeah I see how that can lead to different preferences when it comes to voice mail.

the only difference is in the tooling

code completion for methods names works much better than autocompletion for objects' fields.

And you can't mistype a method name, it would not run and give you back a - hopefully - meaningful error, while the same is not true for objects' fields.
Humans are typically terrible at understanding risk.

I've had a lucky path to learn a bit more about it than many, training and competing in high-risk sports - downhill ski racing, rock climbing, and sportscar racing. Among those groups, it is almost axiomatic to understand and chat about "smart crazy" vs. "dumb crazy" - everyone knew immediately what we meant, but no one really defined it.

The best definition I heard was from an auto racing coach with a military background (another high-risk venture). He put it as:

The difference between using knowledge, technology, and skill to manage risk vs getting away with something.

We can use knowledge, tech, & skill to have entire careers in situations that will kill us in an instant, e.g., high-rise construction, steelmaking (after safety became a goal), deep sea diving, flying, etc..

Of course, there are many stunts that will kill you but not every time -and people get away with them all the time, until they don't, e.g., drunk driving, gambling. These are all essentially forms of Russian Roulette.

And yes, sometimes knowledge, tech, & skill aren't enough, and you must just go ahead and yell "never tell me the odds".

Knowing this early has definitely helped in life, but I'm not sure it has made me a good investor. I'm seeing a pattern where I had a great investment thesis, but didn't follow through as fully as I should - invested too little, sold too soon, etc.. Of course, easy to see in hindsight, but perhaps also too much awareness of how much the markets are too much Russian Roulette and too little skill. That said, I've also avoided many large potential losses.

Perhaps the best advice I saw about this was tacked to the door of a rock & ice climbing school:

Good judgement comes from experience.
Experience comes from bad judgement.

(The key is that you need to ensure that your bad judgement is never quite bad enough to take you out of the game)

Good luck to us all.

Only a fraction of the renewable output would have to be routed through hydrogen, though. It turns out this is still cheaper than new nuclear for providing "synthetic baseload" supply, especially if one looks at projections of how much renewables should cost in the time it would take for any new nuclear plant initiated today to come online.

I’d love to see the same charts in terms of monthly payments on a new mortgage, rather than sticker price. The price itself matters in terms of downpayment, but ultra low interest rates are a huge factor. Right now, interest rates are so low that a huge mortgage has the same payments as a small one years ago would have been. Especially when you take inflation into account.
Depends how expensive the electrolyser is. Just because I did make something when I was 9 years old that could fill up a small jamjar with hydrogen, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s economically viable.

(I have no idea either way if this is an important limit or not. Just that it can have other sources of downside besides merely using otherwise wasted energy).
The capital costs mean the plants cost more to run than they would otherwise, but this wouldn't necessarily factor into the price. There's no reason to pay more for extra energy that costs more, so adding a plant that charges even more than the market price would not be able to sell any energy: the market already provides for demand at a lower price. What might actually raise the price is plants going offline, or existing plants raising their price. These things will probably happen, but they could happen anyway regardless of whether new plants come online.

To attempt an analogy, if I put up a sign that I'm selling iPhones at $6000 each, that won't actually raise the prices of iPhones. That's because customers can already get enough iPhones from Apple, even though they complain that Apple sells them for too high a price too. My offer is just never an alternative, not until Apple raises their prices much much higher (or goes out of business).
Fivetran to Acquire HVR; Raises $565M in Series D
Those are just image classifiers though. They associate this pixel patters with the character string "table". They might be able to recognise this image as relating to both table and person, but most likely as competing possible classifications. They generally don't have a concept of relatedness between classifications. They have no spacial conceptual model relating concepts like 'above', beside', 'below', distance, etc.

They also have no idea what a table is, no general concept of furniture, or even of a table as a physical or 3 dimensional object. They certainly have no idea how it relates to the human form or what "sitting" on something means. It's literally just pixel pattern => string("table"). That's it.

There may be some experimental models that attempt such things, but the image classifiers that get all the press these days are very good at classification but nothing else.

I can't read the post, but it seems the author seeks to work from forests . Also doubtful the appeal of living in a van is working from a city.

It's not difficult to have a minimalist lifestyle from an apartment in the city. I sense the author felt a void in their life and decided to experiment w/ a van. And odds on favor is it will be temporary as it is not addressing the root cause.
while "official" hostPath feature is intended to provide the same result, it is being watched by practically all security and compliance tools, so such access can't go unnoticed.

I really enjoyed reading this. It makes me want to call the developer for support just to make my day better. :)

I’ve worked with a lot of people who don’t understand technical offerings and analytics well (both coworkers and customers) and have learned some similar lessons. Making oneself available for these kinds of calls seems like a distraction, but it prevents so much more unnecessary and/or misunderstood work than a more structured queue as long as it isn’t abused. (To do this, hiring needs to factor emotional intelligence, too; our talent pool defaults to slightly less polite than the older Japanese professional customers the author describes.)

I try to maintain small enough connections between teams that an informal approach to balancing this kind of support can be used and most of the conversations can be directly between the person with the direct need and the person who owns the relevant service or worked on the project. Trying to scale it and introduce PMs and middlemen to save time is counterproductive because they often can’t explain the heart of the problem, so the interruption doesn’t pay for itself, and instead of bringing emotions that communicate valuable context to the developer, the middleman brings emotions related to their job, desire to please their boss, frustration at being assigned a low-context task, etc.

So when that “scaling” is unavoidable it’s always better to force work into a structured process because you might as well minimize time and communication if you can’t get the right two people to connect.
When I was instructed to deliver someone's layoff paperwork I had to do this. I scheduled a meeting with the guy with no good purpose, just a meeting in a weird room nobody usually uses for meetings (we were laying off a lot of people). He immediately asked me what it was for, and of course I couldn't answer. He knew then exactly what it was about.
Wonderful to see Longhorn mentioned. This defined my middle school tinkering days, and eventually got me into other OSes like Linux.

No, not at all. Nuclear is used for base loads, not to compensate fluctuating electricity production of other sources.
Best practices for software development interviewing 100 CTO's from startups
I offer phone support for a niche accounting app (https://quailhq.com), and everything in this article rings 112% true to me -- but especially this:

> ...all sorts of people call you, and I’ve really learned a lot by talking with users directly on the phone.

Sometimes users call me because they want to report a bug, or they've forgotten their email address. Sometimes they want business advice (!), or they have a niche feature they want to request.

> This may be a virtue of the Japanese, but, basically, everyone who calls is civil and polite.

Hahahaha. Haha. Hah. Ahem. The biggest surprise to me when I started offering support (first email, and then later by phone) is how _aggressive_ people can be. My app has two classes of users -- one free, one paid -- and the paying users are almost invariably polite and efficient while the free users can be really quite...hard to help. "YOUR SHITS BROKE FIX ASAP" is my favorite password reset request, etc.

All of my users are American (or Australian), which might have something to do with it. Happily, once you break through that aggressive exterior and people realize you're just a person trying to help them out they almost invariably do a 180 and become helpful and polite, and we get whatever it was straightened out together.

It's almost like there's something cultural happening in America that's making everyone assume the worst when interacting with people they don't know...
