What does non-profit news look like? A few rich people starting non-profit and making news might not be very trustworthy. I guess you mean a wide group of donors. But non-profits have a lot of trouble raising money without controversy. Imagine trying to solicit donations when every other story alienates half the donors.

And it doesn't really answer a lot of the hard questions. Who is going to actually write the articles, what's their political angle, and what are their career objectives? And how do you handle delicate topics with evolving information in a neutral way?
Heroku killed the app but it was fortunately span back up quickly. Apparently 512MB memory on a single Heroku dyno is not Hacker News scale.

I, on the other hand, think that this is part of a trend.

Because solar plus storage involves needing to build 10x as much capacity, and that's making dangerous assumption about storage that might not pan out.

So instead building out solar/wind also causes build up of at least gas power plants, if not coal.

No. There's a third side pushing for the Scandinavian solution. Pro-vaccine, but anti-mandate.

A little while ago, everyone wanted to be like Norway or Denmark or Sweden -- now they pretend these countries don't exist.

Edit: of course I got shadowbanned from Hacker News for opposing the surveillance state. Curse you.

Edit 2: someone below says "The Scandinavian countries all have vaccine cards, however, and permit people to discriminate based on whether one has those." Private venues setting access rules is incomparable to a surveillance state mandating rules for every person.

"The U.S. won’t jail you if you refuse the vaccine. But you have to stay home. This is functionally identical to the Scandinavian solution, minus public buildings."

I live in Denmark (mods, who are obviously watching me, can verify from my IP) and this is a lie. In Copenhagen today, you can go to stores, malls, museums, anywhere basically without showing a pas. Why don't you shadowban this person for "misinformation" since he is lying?
> All it takes is a nosy neighbor to report you (which might even be newcomers to the community), and you'll be surprised how soon they can be a reality.

Or perhaps not, depending on the politics of your Sheriff. In many rural counties where these laws aren't reality it's not because the government doesn't know, it's because it doesn't enforce.

(Of course this same thing happens in cities - just with different laws.)

And regards the bureaucracy. Yes, it is still very convoluted and unnecessary complex. But digitalization has advanced significantly in recent years.

The entire visa process was done online, I just had to go to the offices in the end to take picture for ID, but with a pre-scheduled half hour slot, so there was little wait. Taxes from filing to paying is trough a web application. Most proceses with my bank, health insurance, internet provider are via apps or web chat.

As mentioned many things are still too confusing for me to do alone and I would be completely lost. I have a personal tax person, friends advising me on contracts before signing and the company lawyers for visa stuff. But at least I no longer have to sit around hours and fill by hand long forms and start again from scratch if I make any tiny mistake.

I took the liberty to read a couple of your previous HN threads, and from context there's a chance you're living in US and you are an English native speaker.

Forgive me if the above is incorrect, but in case it is:

The majority of your world's fellow humans, wishing to be comp developers, already spent months or years (combined) of their individual lives in order to learn English as non-native-speakers to do just that.

Your "whining" (yes, it's intended to be somewhat impolite, but I don't think it's unreasonable given the above) that, in case Ć becomes the next-gen well-known programming tool, you'll have to spend maybe a couple of hours to update your keyboard mapping or learn some other way of quickly typping 'Ć' invokes 0 of my (and many others') empathy. Though many were helpful to suggest you how to do that quickly/correctly.

I hope my words will be deemed as 'fair enough given the context' :)
Taxes are not the evil gobernmint coming to "steal" the money you made alone. It's a price for living in a society that enabled you to make the money in the first place.

The process looks quite complicated and time consuming. I wonder how many FOSS projects will enroll. The criteria is alright but doesn't mention anything about library maintainers.

In the end, it's money so I get why it has to be so long form and time consuming but I think a lot of really good projects will either not take the time to enroll or give up in the middle.

In my opinion, such a fund should be set up for both big projects with orgs behind them and small projects with only a few people. Otherwise, it doesn't actually benefit or encourage anyone. Of course, the amount of funding could be relative to the size and impact but everyone should be encouraged to enroll. That way OSS can become a truly sustainable system.
I am used to it. The ability to see the world though an objective non-emotional lens is a skill many do not have unfortunately, that is after all how government retains power by way of emotional manipulation of the population mainly through fear or jealousy
> Why would randomly selected men in Boston not be a good enough surrogate for all men in the USA?

Because Boston isn't health-wise, demographically, behaviorally, environmentally, or in any other way representative of the US.

> Are you suggesting living specifically in Boston lowers testosterone?

Maybe. Or in urban areas. Or in coastal areas. Or the American Northeast. Or in places, America or not, near the Atlantic Ocean. Nothing in a study of men from Boston tells you that the scope of any effect is likely to be “the US”, unless it is clear enough to determine the actual source of the effect, and that source is known to be common throughout the US.

I would imagine that any potential piracy issues from being in a more open format would be relatively minimal for your intended audience (but maybe I’m being optimistic??)

Also the very nature of your content feels like it should be in a more technology-agnostic form to me, but I totally get the trade offs here.

> Water comes from wells drilled deep into the ground. Sewage goes to the same septic fields […] A modern solar rig can generate so much energy

Wait, this compendium of laws seems to cover all those things. Wells are ground-water, and there are many states with laws about how much ground-water you’re allowed to use.

A septic field is part of a small grid, and has to be organized, zoned, and agreed to, and use by neighbors.

And the article mentions off-grid solar is basically legal almost everywhere.

What’s wrong with also including the laws about pit-toilets and rainwater collection in an article about off-grid laws?

You see this across technologies all the time. Engineers overvalue simplicity, which leads them to pick the lightweight framework (e.g. Flask vs Django, Sinatra vs Rails). The project grows in complexity and they end up having to reinvent the more full featured framework.

It doesn’t seem very likely that hydrogen can compete against batteries for short duration storage. But storing electricity for weeks or months (to meet unusual peaks in demand or troughs in supply) is a very different market.

Today, natural gas (or where there isn’t a gas grid, oil) peaking plant wins in this market, but that isn’t an option when people plan for a truly zero carbon grid. All the models I can remember seeing for that situation need hydrogen storage or carbon capture - and carbon capture looks likely to be even more expensive than hydrogen. If renewables and electrolysis get cheap enough, hydrogen might even beat oil and gas here on cost.

>Informed consent should be coming from a discussion between you and your doctor if you have concerns, not the news or press releases (do you complain that magazine ads for drugs don’t give you proper information?)

The Pro-Vaccine doctor, Dr. Francis Christian in Canada that was suspended, then fired [1] merely for advocating informed consent would argue otherwise. Mind you, he was not saying halt the vaccine, but merely to inform patients of all the pros and cons before the intervention, but continue the campaign.

Basically, they are skipping the informed consent part.

> You are leaning very heavily on extremely rare reactions and making generalizations about exemptions which aren’t nearly true. Of course there exists unreasonable responses on every level, but existence doesn’t equal a fair review of the situation.

Actually, that is incorrect. I was intrigued from a medical perspective when the first person I know to get vaccinated then proceeded to have severe side effects. Highly anecdotal I know, but I thought - where there is smoke, there is fire. Once I started to look into VAERS, and read lots of the statistics about COVID, then I could see the misapplication of mandates by applying them to extremely low risk populations. Such that the cure became worse than the cancer for application of a vaccine like this to extreme low risk populations, particularly where the risk of dangerous side effects rise.

While we know VAERS undercounts adverse reactions ~ numbers range from 3x to 10x to 50x

The VAERS data [2] currently has:

16,310 DEATHS

75,605 HOSPITALIZATIONS

87,814 URGENT CARE

121,305 DOCTOR OFFICE VISITS

7,141 ANAPHYLAXIS

9,446 BELL'S PALSY

2,415 Miscarriages

7,868 Heart Attacks

6,812 Myocarditis/Pericarditis

20,789 Permanently Disabled

3,620 Thrombocytopenia/ Low Platelet

17,619 Life Threatening

28,168 Severe Allergic Reaction

8,153 Shingles

I've had a large number of vaccines in my life due to the countries in which I deployed. But, nothing like this in terms of side effects. VAERS data on all previous vaccine side effects makes a clear case for these vaccines as being much more dangerous in comparison.

Sex and gender are different, though. Sexologist John Money came up with the idea of using the then purely grammatical term 'gender' to describe how people presented themselves.

So originally people's gender expression was more or less just advertising their sex roles for mating. Now it's more of a lifestyle/aesthetic thing with huge amounts of variation that aren't really anchored to biological sex in any meaningful way except insofar as they adopt the aesthetics of one of the biological sexes.

Being fully off-grid is one thing, but I’d rather be self-sustaining. Like being connected to the grid but have enough solar and batteries to not need it most days, or at least could survive a few days without it. Connected to modern septic system and not have to pay high costs of sewers monthly. And connected to municipal water, but have a rainwater collection barrel just in case.
If that's the case, it wouldn't make sense to talk about NoSQL tradeoffs as if all NoSQL dbs were actually similar in any way.

Mongo and Dynamo also offer transactions with ACID guarantees these days.

> The moral hazard of legitimizing natural immunity is very real.

It hasn’t for other vaccines/diseases. For example when I went back to grad school and didn’t have a shot record they they tested me for anitibodies instead of using more vaccines. I was low on MMR so got a booster but didn’t need varicella and various others. No big deal.
