Yeah, i think the authority method is better to be honest.
Not sure if you are being satirical or not.

Political extremism is at an all-time high in Western democracies: The US has seen a president that doesn't respect elections, an attack on the capitol, an ever widening gap between the left/right 'tribes', and poor and rich. Far-right extremism has overtaken Islamist fundamentalism. A decline of newspapers, 'the media' and journalism in general and the rise of Fox News and the like.

That's not a US exclusive: UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Poland paint a similar, slightly less pronounced, picture.

We live in a period of unprecedented peace in Western democracies and all signs are pointing towards increased nationalism and instability.
The collapse of MTGox already proved this theory wrong many years ago.
I’ve thought that it’s a mistake for me to try to learn information management from programmers. They seem to mostly have a bunch of code-solutions to those problems but don’t really have much insight into the workflows and mindset that is needed to truly handle information in a good and principled way (it seems that they often just want to manage their personal notes).

Maybe that doesn’t make sense. So here’s an analogy: if you wanted to type really fast, who would you ask: a programmer or a stenographer? Sure, the programmer might have the income and idle inclination to invest in fancy keyboards and to spend some time on text/code snippet management, but the stenographer is the only one of the two who really has to be able to type fast in order to be able to do their job.

I started an information management course on Coursera, hoping that I could apply some of that stuff to my own interests. However I aborted it since it didn’t seem relevant to me.

Would have been nice to learn how to properly organize information. Maybe I should start with organizing physical documents.
The ones that are currently live tend to have features that try to negate this (randomised uncrossing times, price collars, order priority based on arrival time or size)
You can install their patched version of fontconfig on Arch

- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fontconfig-ubuntu/

Then you can use their font config confs

Here is the list they are using: https://hastebin.com/fukibunuji.conf

Copy paste what you have in your ubuntu install, then believe me, fonts will look similar!

Make sure to also install the ubuntu font familly

https://archlinux.org/packages/community/any/ttf-ubuntu-font...

And set your font hinting to: slight

So ESG_Hound here has an issue with the FAA that they should not approve this application because it is missing data?

If so, the FAA has a pretty functional portal for public comments on applications. I'm sure they have made their concerns known to the FAA?

Given how "by the book" the FAA has been on their test flights and their stated concern of risk to public safety I am not sure I would be persuaded by an argument that the FAA was "rubber stamping" anything here. Is that your impression?
When you change jobs, assuming you are not going to work for a company in the same industry as the previous, you are throwing away domain knowledge. That's a big opportunity cost! The reasons to switch may be valid but you should keep domain knowledge in mind as well. Otherwise, after a few jumps, you will flatline no matter what where you go.
That's what happened when MTGox collapsed many years ago.
I suspect privacy VPNs remain a minority use case, dwarfed by people connecting their home office computer to their corporate network.

Moved into a small company that does process control (SCADA) systems development. Took a fairly large drop in salary but the work/life balance improved and job satisfaction increased.

I'd previously done a lot of work in embedded SCADA systems (hence the fit for working with with FPGAs in HFT).

I left mainly because I genuinely felt that there was a certain futility with ultra low latency trading...it's less about trading and more an arms race between quants and techies of different companies, all with deep pockets.

I guess embedded SCADA systems are my comfort blanket :-)

What's your realistic policy for energy storage that's required for renewables?
Indeed; Software Engineering and IT Admin need to be professionalized, in the sense that both individual practitioners and institutions take personal legal responsibility for the systems they implement.

But also, gross negligence doesn't justify criminal trespass. You can't walk into someone's home and touch all their stuff just because they left their front door open.
My impression is that English is not the authors first language. So I usually give them some slack rather than being quick to criticize.
Obsidian is so great. I switched from RoamResearch and have hardly looked back.
The problem with this kind of excuse is that "desensitize people to committing violence" has absolutely nothing to do with a kid becoming a criminal but non-violent hacker. If there is a good reason to be concerned about the prevalence of violent video games, it doesn't apply here. So I won't bother to debate whether there's any evidence to support your implicit suggestion that violent video games contribute to actual criminal violence.

If you're expecting agreement, remember that you're on HN. As far as I can tell, most developers have been vocally and fervently against being held liable or even accountable for bugs, design defects, security issues, etc. <sotto voce> probably because, collectively, developers produce so many of them.

So essentially, this means that the foundation is setup for the benefit of companies that would otherwise deem the use of open-source software too risky since they cannot be legally sure that they will be able to use this software for their business.
Wow, thanks for sharing these. Didn't even know Obsidian has plugins/themes community before your comment :)

PS. WebClipper is super helpful!
A blanket assertion that "drawbacks far outweigh benefits" with no rational argument behind it is not helpful in this discussion. The article you are replying to makes the case that it is, and while you have a right to disagree, and are even welcome to go ahead and make your case, you are not adding any value to this discussion by saying "clearly this is wrong" and just leaving it at that.
I'm the author of the comment. The definition of base load:

The baseload[1] (also base load) on a grid is the minimum level of demand on an electrical grid over a span of time, for example, one week.

A renewable system has to meet this minimum demand too, otherwise the lights go out.

> The rest is just math related to how much energy generation and battery capacity you need.

I'm very pro-renewable, but aware of how difficult this is going to be. These are massive social and engineering tasks. For example, to look at the numbers in the UK, we're talking about construction of big new hydroelectric storage stations, or millions of batteries (potentially as EVs). [2]

The need for renewables to provide baseload power demand depends on big infrastructure development. Germany hasn't kept pace with this need, relying on French nuclear instead, which is why I said their Energiewende hasn't always been practical.

Healthcare fields are the largest cluster in STEM, so it would be more accurate to say that women are severely underrepresented in some STEM fields - broadly, those that have to do with "things over people (and animals)". Is that due to societal stereotypes, though? The case is not that obvious.

Before? The new movie has been in the theaters for a month or so.

I am sucker for sci-fi but I've been burned by the director and music author multiple times already. Also, I am a chicken shit and unwilling to spend a few hours in a big room with many other people during the pandemic

Looking at what people have been saying after watching it, my fears seem justified. Turns out the new movie is slow and the music as just as obnoxious as promised.

Most likely will hate watch it in a few months, though
> you can't ignore the fact that some nations, like Germany, are managing to meet their targets while phasing out Nuclear.

What targets? Germany now has an energy crisis on their hands that can't be mitigated with renewables, and they fall back on coal and gas.
Without any subsidies at all, nuclear can not compete with solar + storage in costs.

If we want nuclear to survive on the grid, we need to figure out how essential is actually is, and then work out market structures or subsidies that will keep nuclear around.

It's too late for Diablo Canyon, the decision to close was made five years ago, and the only reason to extend its life now is for an emergency but if extra generation capacity on the grid. If DC's life is extended 10 years or so that way, it may provide a bridge to a new generation of SMRs, but I am extremely skeptical that SMRs will be any cheaper than other large thermal generators of electricity, and those cants compete on costs now.
Weirdo unnecessary animation as the almost nonexistent results grow in makes the site look and feel janky. Individual results with relatively small text in bubbles is MUCH harder to scan than traditional vertical results scanned top to bottom.

Since there isn't really much in the way of results I'm charitably assuming the backend isn't meaningfully finished yet and this is just meant to showcase not the results thus far so much as the UI which unfortunately because of the above problems is uniformly terrible.

Lose the animations nobody cares and please consider a more traditional listing of results.
So they are all one-fifth special then.
I work on exactly this at work using Python/Django along with:

- Python Social Auth: handles social login

- Django Rest Framework: does all the heavy lifting for API dev

Django takes care of all of your other requirements such as user management, DB migrations, interaction with both PG and SQLite via both the ORM and raw SQL.

This app runs on Heroku and is quite easy to deploy.

You mention wanting to generate the API from OpenAPI spec, but this is not needed with DRF. Instead, the API is generated from your models + sterilizer + view code which in turn generates an OpenAPI spec for documentation purposes.

I've worked in a number of other languages/frameworks and I can't imagine anything that does more heavy lifting for you than this stack, which in turn lets you focus on the business logic.

More importantly, this stack is battle tested, and very well documented (except for perhaps Python Social Auth, which could use some doc love).
Would you considered using intel_pstate=passive, and then use x86_energy_perf_policy/cpupower to turn the knobs on how to influence the governor? This'll let the CPU do its lower latency internal frequency changing. But of course, its not a one-size-fits-all approach for AMD/ARM.

Yes, and they'll find the authoritative books. Of course a general reference librarian is most helpful to a general audience. If you are a professional developer, you want a specialist reference librarian, for example, one in computer science.

IME the specialist librarians are generally at university libraries, but they will answer respectful questions from the public up to a point (they aren't going to do a research project for you), especially those in public universities. For example, I was looking for a history of a specific time period of a certain country. There were books available, but I couldn't discern the credible from the nonsense, the fringe from the consensus from the advocate for a specific theory or cause, etc. I emailed the specialist librarian for that region of the world at an Ivy League school; they had a PhD from Yale in the field, and of course could immediately tell me everything I wanted to know, and even generously shared more recommendations.
> What is a more objective foundation than independently verified, experimental evidence.

This sounds like the classic is-ought problem. Experiment can, up to epistemological and ontological limits, only tell us about what is. It cannot tell us about what ought to be. If it appears to you that it can then you’re implicitly slipping in an additional ethical premise.

> So the apparent presence of this limitation is evidence of a higher power? How can you be sure that what you consider 'correct' ethics is objectively good?

I can’t. That’s one of the limitations of abductive reasoning. Unlike deduction it cannot reach absolutely certain conclusions. And if I could this entire thread would be moot. As for correct ethics, I accept Peirce’s view that ethics, like logic, is a normative science. Just as logic is defined to be the normative science of what is true or false, ethics is defined to be the normative science of what is good or bad. Hence my question about whether or not that science is trivial and admits whatever conclusions anyone says it does, or not.

If x number of people are asking for something, all of those people are asking for it. I think it was pretty obvious I wasn't claiming all spotify users are asking for this.

I'm a PO so feel sufficiently qualified to state that user analytics data is completely redundant for looking at small use high value features & undervaluing direct user feedback from your 'power users' is generally a bad move.

Again, just because not everyone needs/wants a feature does not make it useless or not worth implementing.

Data doesn't tell you how useful a feature is, it tells you how frequently it's used & how many people use it. They are not the same things.
You say stand-alone VR is bad, but I (and a bunch of other commentators) say the Quest 2 is actually impressive… but your only replies are that the company is bad.

No one is arguing whether the company is bad, that is not relevant to whether standalone VR is bad. How is it bad when everyone is saying the experience is actually really good? You can’t just say the company is bad, that is irrelevant to the point.
How about some empathy for the person who actually died? Or is that not “appropriate”?

> The UK equivalent was entrusting all drivers with a box of coins

This was in the 1950s and is described in Peter Hennessey's excellent book The Human Button.

It's been a while since I read the book, but from memory the cabinet office also purchased an AA membership so that the prime minister's driver would have a key giving them access to the private AA phone boxes that were fairly common back then. They had an arrangement with the AA call handlers to allow the PM to be connected to the appropriate part of government in an emergency.

Meanwhile the US and Russian government probably had satellite...
> So ESG_Hound here has an issue with the FAA that they should not approve this application because it is missing data?

I don't speak on behalf of him. But... it seems that yes, the FAA is complicit in this thus far.

> If so, the FAA has a pretty functional portal for public comments on applications. I'm sure they have made their concerns known to the FAA?

The FAA public stakeholder hearing is tomorrow at 5pm. Yes. The idea is to drum up support before the public hearing.

https://www.faa.gov/space/stakeholder_engagement/spacex_star...

> The FAA will hold two virtual public hearings to solicit comments from the public concerning the scope and content of the Draft PEA. The hearings have been moved to October 18 and October 20, 2021 at 5:00 p.m. Central Time. The FAA invites all interested parties to attend the meeting. Register to attend here.

By publishing the qualms of the PEA document SpaceX submitted, people will have the precise, technical arguments needed to ensure that the meeting tomorrow can go more smoothly.

----------

ESG_Hound seems focused on the natural gas issue. There's a few other groups who have studied the rocket-launch assessment side and have also come up with concerns.

-------

The process was _SUPPOSED_ to be SpaceX preparing a comprehensive PEA for the public to discuss. However, all sorts of details with regards to natural gas seem to be missing, which means that SpaceX has either purposefully, or inadvertently, sabotaged the conversation and the environmental assessment process.

All we'll be able to do tomorrow is point out how inadequate some of these calculations are on the PEA.

What's unclear? My motivation is obvious as day. I don't want a tightly coupled world where random spots on the earth get to tell the entire internet how they have to operate. It would be so easy to let endless rules beset us, would be so natural if the greatest, vastest, most available frontier humanity has available to it got snuffed out, bricked up by each & every law someone wanted to make.

there's no signs of hope. nations are going to be endlessly greedy, demanding end to frontiers forever. even projects like gdpr, which seemingly help citizens defend themselves against big powers that be online, still do little to create positive-liberties, positive-rights of citizens: a citizen with a VPS can't do anything more than they could yesterday.

> Piece by piece, the mythology around ridesharing is falling apart. Uber and Lyft promised ubiquitous self-driving cars by as soon as this year. They promised an end to private car ownership. They promised to reduce congestion in the largest cities. They promised consistently affordable rides. They promised to boost public transit use. They promised profitable business models. They promised a surfeit of well-paying jobs. Heck, they even promised flying cars.

What other company needs to justify its existence this much besides "our customers find us useful"? I know Uber and Lyft has made my life better, otherwise I wouldn't have used them. I imagine the same is true for the millions that have used their product.

Let's be honest what attacks on ride sharing is about. It's the remnants of grievances regional taxi companies had over facing competition. And it was strangely picked up by large newspapers. I'm old enough to remember taxi cartels pre-Uber. I remember being unable to find a taxi in a bad neighborhood, or going to a less populated area or when its raining. I remember the inefficient routes, the dangerous unaccountable driving, the "broken" credit card machines. Others remember not being able to get a cab because their skin is the wrong color or not being able to drive a cab without renting out a medallion from a medallion hoarder or having to take a second mortgage out on their house to afford a medallion.

Taxis existed since the invent of cars. I don't see why an app to book taxi rides should draw such scrutiny.
... on a sunny and windy Sunday. But still...
An interesting strategy to compete on price and accuracy.
Maybe there is more to it that you're missing?
Ride sharing’s empty promises can be chalked up to corporate PR… I don’t imagine most riders or investors consider those when calling a car or investing.

Wrt the measurable externalities (traffic, pollution, etc) - don’t these exist due to the stronger data capture (app based) and public scrutiny? I have a difficult time believing Uber/Lyft are worse on these metrics relative to traditional taxis
Any search engine except google itself is a joke site at this point, there's no way for any company to reach that level of collected data and subsequently extracted heuristics. They have a huge head start and will just collect more in the time a new company will take to get to the same level.
In short, if someone wants to pick a fight with an open source dev over e.g. copyright, it's much easier (and more of a deterrent) if it's an entity like the .NET foundation defending the project, instead of the dev having to foot all the bills (and time) themselves.

Beyond that, the .NET foundation would, in theory, also be able to provide resources for project maintenance (think CI hours) and events (funding for conferences/meetups etc.).

(Disclaimer: I am entirely uninvolved, this is what I recall from reading the discussions.)
Perhaps Conservative MPs could review their own post histories and be 100% sure they have not sowed division and hate, especially around Brexit. Or maybe just review Boris Johnson's own newspaper column where he has said some things that many find offensive. Boris runs a Trumpist government that gained power by sowing discontent and division.

Or it is anonymous tweeters of course.

I noticed one Conservative MP followed by thousands of bots presumably there to make him seem like an influencer to the algo. Then these weird networks of retweeters pile in to amplify what he said.

But it is everyone else who is at fault....
