As with everything there is a slight exception (doesn’t look like you were talking about this case): if someone jokes about doing something forbidden it’s proper for a manager to say “sorry, but I don’t like even joking about that because violating safety protocol/falsifying govt form X/paying a bribe even where it’s the country’s culture is grounds for immediate termination. Let’s just move on”.

Sometimes we joke about things to reduce fear, but sometimes joking about things normalizes them.

Well, you can disable sandboxing if you want, although it's not recommended. This lets you run a package manager that requires networking in a derivation.
I was specifically contrasting the two to question whether there might be some point in the middle that avoids the downfalls but is still practical. Some balance that could be doable and acceptable.

The original proposal was to do something that almost no consumers do: eliminate beef consumption. I was not proposing to change consumer behaviour so much as producer behavior. Of course it would impact consumers significantly in the prices they pay.
True. The convertible beds in trains in India makes it so much more comfortable.
You cannot dive with an inflated goatskin, unless you carry extra weight, like stones.
Why would you think that? When you're happy, you're content.

People who feel like something is missing usually take impulsive actions and ever-increasing risks.

Chasing one thrill after another because otherwise you don't feel happy, or anything at all.

That's unhappiness, something close to it or even worse.

Is there less of a danger of creating earthquakes from the fracturing since it is only done once in a specific area?
Fracturing 100,000 geothermal sites seems like it could possibly cause some earthquake problems. I wonder if extracting the heat in some types of rock will quickly deplete it, is this really workable everywhere, does the heat flow through rock fast enough? Otherwise it sounds fantastic!
Science isn't about formal and absolutely certain proofs. That's why we have things like the 5 Sigma standard for evidence in physics. We come up with a plausible theory, then look for evidence that it makes useful predictions. No experimental verification can be truly absolute though. Also consider the fact that Newtonian mechanics was superseded by Relativity, and that even though relativity and Quantum Mechanics are thoroughly verified across many domains they are also inconsistent with each other in some ways.

We don't have absolute knowledge in Physics, or science generally in the strict sense that this video and philosophers of logic discuss. We only have useful theories that describe the world very closely to reality across most situations.

We also very importantly get to conclusively rule out an awful lot of ideas and theories. That's very important work. It is all about levels of confidence though. If you think about it, you probably already knew all this, you just hadn't considered the consequences yet. We're all in that boat about a lot of things. I'm afraid in the grand scheme of things, despite all out truly incredible accomplishments, it's also true that we're stuck with fairly limited mental faculties.

As to why? Well, we need to feed and clothe our children somehow. That means figuring out how to get stuff done. Working out explanations of the world that verifiably work, more or less, has turned out pretty well for us.

Just to share my own setup, I've been living in a van for the past year. I develop mostly via SSH and RDP so I found that any connection was important and total bandwidth wasn't the highest priority. Also in the US, way better coverage of 4g. Because of that invested fully in 4g and not at all in 5g.

* 11 in 1 Panorama External Antenna (LG-IN2447) around $500. 4 internal cradlepoint antennas, see photo below. In retrospect would not have invested so heavily in wifi antennas and bought more 4g. I also added a little antenna lifter to make sure it has line of site of all cell towers, I wanted it to be the highest point on my sprinter van roof.

* Cradlepoint IBR1700 1200M-B around $900 on ebay. Runs on 12 volt, a ton of antenna ports has 1 internal modem that supports big US carriers, came with an additional modem that does the same for carrier aggregation. A bunch of different ways to configure the router to aggregate links, mostly I switch back and forth manually, I found that if there was an issue it would be obvious and I could just switch the link. Cradlepoint software wouldn't handle issues and signal strength that well. Honestly one carrier has been plenty good for me though and between ATT and Verizon, I only have issues in the national parks where there are cell dead zones.

* Verizon and ATT 4g cell plans. I added 1 line on my family plan for Verizon and the same with a friends family plan with ATT for $20 a month each. Took some phone calls into support to get it to work but after some escalations in the support chain I have unlimited 4g data. Total bill is around $50 a month.

* Still room to add more sim cards and more antennas. It honestly works great though, get 20-150 mbps basically everywhere.

Ask HN: Please help I could not find a drawing tool that was submitted to HN
Hi guys.

A few months ago, I found a very interesting link on HackerNews which feature a cool drawing tool that can visualize the architect of "normal" web applications. I can vaguely remember these features:

- Can be drag-and-drop-ed

- Written in React?

- Interactive: put a frontend somewhere, a backend somewhere, and a database in anywhere else, and you can push a button to look at data/dots that go from frontend to backend, and from backend to database

I have been looked around for nearly two hours at my bookmarks, my history, and even on HackerNews's Algolia, but I could find nothing. Can someone please help me with the finding?

Thanks a lot!

A related oddity - according to "Navies of the Napoleonic Era", Turkish ships had higher decks than was normal for other navies allegedly to allow for elaborate headgear, even though this actually compromised the stability of the ships.
Having experimented with something that wasn't GraphQl, but used similar concepts (let the front-end fish out whatever it wants from the back-end), it seemed like paradise at first, but then:

1-We wanted to make schema changes on the back-end, but the front-end queries were tied to it.

2-We had no great way of knowing what was safe to move, and what wasn't. Sure, we could look at requests, but we have multiple environments we support. What was our API, and where did it end? Now it was the entire database!

3-When we had to source data from elsewhere, or provide it via logical abstraction, we ended up piling hacks on top of the data structure's "API" from the back end that was now replicated in the front-end in order to "maintain it.

Separately, on REST itself, it gets kind of weird if you want to map upsert onto REST, but upserts are useful, and sometimes a requirement. The "single resource path, multiple operations" gets diluted a bit.

> So it seems that Big Tech is actually taking concrete steps to become carbon zero, and even carbon negative. The article is complaining that they are not spending enough money lobbying for climate legislation.

Yes. It is good that they are cleaning up their own house, but to avoid the worst of the climate crisis we need all the leverage we can get.

We are out of time, we need to act now. In other words, big tech also needs to step up their lobbying, because federal legislation is the biggest lever we have.
My suggestion is that while we talk about the concept of objective measurement as the one and only source of truth, deep down we are keenly aware that it is not.

Either this means that our intuition is wrong, or that empiricism is not sufficient to fully model reality.

If you are leaning towards the latter, I suggest a subjective experiment: do you think you are an automaton simply reacting to stimuli in a complicated fashion, no different than machine? Because empirically no one can ever say otherwise. Yet, if you are like most people, you know for a fact this is not true; that you experience reality is undeniable.

Let's suppose (it's probably true) that there's an absolute minimum amount of calories your body must use per day to stay alive today.

Is that amount even sufficient to stay alive every day? Maybe your body can reduce some organ function for some amount of time, but it can't keep it shutdown forever.

ok, let's assume we're talking about the minimal burn rate that can sustain your body without shutting down any organ function what so ever.

Does that mean your body is burning exactly that amount of calories every day like a clock?

Certainly not. It's probably burning a lot more to help you move and think and deal with the daily stressors.

When you cut calories what generally happens is you feel lethargic. As if you can't muster the energy to do what you want to do and which you could previously do without problems.

I'm not into "studies" but I'm pretty sure there are some studies that show people who cut calories after a while their body adapts and lowers their base metabolic rate.

For non-imperialists:

Sorry for not having references, but to add to your very good comment: Working out triggers hunger in us, and I believe I've read somewhere (research?) that hunger overcompensates compared to how much was burnt, so working out (regardless if cardio or weights) is actually bad for losing weight.

Then of course it can be good for your overall health (in particularly your mental one) so that in turn might help you (and be good for you), but if your only goal is losing weight, I'm not sure this talk about exercising is so good.

My eReader hits, for me, the exact perfect balance between a computer (or phone) and a physical book.

> Perhaps you like being able to carry a never-ending stack of books with you wherever you go, without having to actually lug them around.

This, and the ease with which I can grab a new book when I finish my current book, are the biggest selling points for an eReader. I read a lot of long works, some more than a thousand pages long, and having that in a Kindle's form factor is amazing.

But, just as importantly, my eReader isn't a tablet, phone, or computer. I'm not distracted by alerts and notifications. I'm not tempted to jump on Reddit or browse headlines.

My eReader is instant, portable, and distraction-free; it's basically the perfect reading environment.

I still collect physical hard covers of the books I want to collect, but for the books I'm just reading for entertainment? eReader all the way.
Do you have any tips/signs to look out for :-)
This YouTube video on A/UX https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwrTTXOg-KI is one of the best things I've found about the subject. (It has a usable transcript.)

On the subject of what happened with Big Mac, the Macintosh II and NeXT, https://lowendmac.com/2013/apples-bigmac-project-failed-prec... and some of the articles linked from it https://lowendmac.com/2013/next-years-steve-jobs-before-triu... https://www.aventure-apple.com/le-big-mac-apple/ (Google Translate: https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=fr&tl=en&u=https:/... ) is the best intro that I'm aware of, though there are some additional, important bits of information in Steven Levy's Insanely Great ch. 9 ( https://books.google.ie/books?id=Y6ZQAAAAMAAJ&dq=insanely+gr... ) and the Isaacson bio's ch. 13 ( https://books.google.ie/books?id=JT6FCgAAQBAJ&printsec=front... ). TFA links to some of these, but it missed some of the information in them. (Unfortunately the Adventure-Apple piece needs one big caveat, that it mostly doesn't cite any sources.)

There's also yet another whole strand of Macintosh-adjacent Unix in the Network Server products: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsVAdrdkyoA .

Some key points from these:

* I have little idea how well-founded Apple's detailed legal complaints were, but the overall claim that "Jobs had done research for a next generation product and taken the key staff, namely Page from Apple to make it reality" is almost surely absolutely right, and NeXT was conceived an attempt to do Big Mac outside Apple using the Big Mac team from Apple. One thing that TFA and the LowEndMac miss is that Jobs, apparently, wasn't the instigator: according to Isaacson, Rich Page and other Big Mac people contacted him and begged him to launch a new company when Big Mac was cancelled. (ISTR seeing this confirmed elsewhere, too, but I don't recall where atm.)

* TFA says that "[a]ll that I can find of the Big Mac project is this insanely low resolution image" showing some hardware and a screenshot of the GUI, but it links to an article which features this glamour shot of what was apparently an industrial design for Big Mac: https://i0.wp.com/www.aventure-apple.com/wp-content/uploads/... . (And this is cited: it's apparently from the Appledesign book https://www.worldcat.org/title/appledesign-the-work-of-the-a... .) The resemblance to the original G3 iMac from over a decade later is obvious. Beyond appearances, some other hardware similarities include a lack of internal expansion slots (according to Levy's book, Jobs maintained his opposition to "slots" through his departure from Apple) and a focus on external expandability instead: the G3 iMac was an early adopter of USB, while Big Mac apparently had Apple Desktop Bus. In fact, according to the Adventure-Apple piece ADB was originally developed for Big Mac under the name of Front Desk Bus (though as usual I see no reference to substantiate this). The single most obvious divergence is that Big Mac couldn't display colour, though no doubt this is because of an underlying similarity: the Big Mac project was trying to hit a roughly G3-iMac-like price point in the mid-'80s.

If the company is firing someone it's [probably] because they're in a better position without them. I probably could have phrased it better but it's somewhat tautological so I didn't think it would be that offensive of a statement :)

Frankly, it can be a liberating experience, releasing the ongoing feelings of certainty that things are not going right and uncertainty of what's going to happen. Better a horrific end than horror without end. Though that's coming from a privileged position of IT where it's reasonable to find a different job with acceptable (even if lower) pay relatively quickly. Of course, if it was a surprise firing, then it's bad all around; but firings should not be a surprise, they're an inevitable outcome when things aren't good, both parties know that things aren't good, and they have tried to make them good and it's not working out.
I really miss G Talk, it was such a simple & light app and it just worked.

But I think the reason why Google didn't keep it is because there is no way to insert ads into it.

This is the main part about Google that we have to understand - Google is an ads distribution company. Like a billboard company or the company that plasters ads on bus stands & public benches. Any product they have will have a place to serve ads.

Serving ads in Gmail was a bad idea, but they have a nice user base. So, now they are offering it as a service that you pay for. I hope they come back to that.

Your google id needs to be used as an id instead of relying on mobile phone numbers.

I hope they bring back G Talk.

The issue with meet is the hassle of sharing the code with everyone. They should just have the option of a friends list.
What is "lobbying"? Lobbying is a process where subject-matter experts discuss policy with lawmakers. Lawmakers are not necessarily experts in 100% of topics, are they? So the industries have experts that lawmakers talk to. And of course, these industries make political contributions.

With no lobbyists, lawmakers are likely to be fairly clueless. With too much money and influence, lobbyists really call the shots, and Congress is basically subservient to them. There's a space in between where lawmakers are informed but don't owe lobbyists anything.

Energy retailing is, AFAICS, a very low fixed cost business. You don't need to own any expensive infrastructure. You just buy electricity from the wholesale market (usually time-varying, although careful operators can of course hedge their positions), and sell at fixed price to consumers. You essentially need a web site and a bunch of annoying telemarketers.

It seems what has happened is that many of these retailers are some small fly-by-night operations. When wholesale prices are low, they make a lot of hay (making sure to store that somewhere that regulators can't get their hands on them), when the wholesale price rises, well, declare bankruptcy, and start a new company doing the same. Rinse and repeat.

Regulators should really step up the game, making sure that retailers are properly hedged etc. Or then forget this idea of "deregulated" electricity markets.

You have to take interest rates into account. The amount you pay, monthly, for a mortgage of the same size is very different at different interest levels.

What people care about is their monthly mortgage payment - that's what makes a home affordable or not.

(Which isn't to discount that downpayments are a percentage of home cost, and that's pricing people out of being able to buy anything at all, even something they can easily make repayments on.)
Note: "a supervolcanic eruption
has not occurred in the Holocene (past approx. 12,000 years) and, therefore, modern
human civilizations have not witnessed such an eruption."
One thing this ignores is interest rates and availability of credit.

The biggest determinant of homes people buy is not the total price, but rather how much cash do they need for down payment, and what will the monthly payment be.

With low interest rates and increased credit availability ( you don’t need 20% down payment in many cases now), people on the same income are actually able to buy a more expensive home.

I think looking at monthly mortgage payments to income ratio over the long term might actually be more informative.

I'm not sure how your comparison of personal experience against prices you pulled off the internet makes the standard of Japanese building any better?

You can find cheap rooms in either city, you can find bargains in either city, what you won't find en masse in Tokyo (nor any other city in Japan as far as I'm aware) is housing with walls that seem like walls and not paper, with insulation, and you certainly won't find central heating.

Yes. also wingspan and wing sweep as well as flap configuration can affect how an airplane flies as pitch changes (and as distance to the runway changes). So while other aircraft might dramatically lose lift with this type of maneuver, the G280 doesn't.

Agree that it's a bad idea to get creative with flying airplanes.

That said, this maneuver might tend to reduce landing "float" which introduces its own set of risks.

But still not a good idea.

In most US States the company’s ability to fire you is hardly constrained just as your ability to quit is unconstrained.

Everywhere in the US you can’t be fired for your country of origin or due to age (these aren’t always easy to prove of course) but, for example, if the boss decided to get rid of all left-handed people one day that would be perfectly legal.
