> Where is the lack of supply exactly?

There's a terrible lack in moving capacity. Sea, ports and warehouses are full of static containers, and that's bad: the optimal state for a container is "moving".
I don't know about too many tiers, but they've certainly run out of sensible naming ideas.

Who the hell signs off naming a product 'Zero 2' let alone the 'Zero 2 W' ?
I'd have a lot of brand loyalty to a company whose business it was to manufacture very well built but ultimately "dumb" devices. I want a TV that's literally just a dumb panel that can accurately display what I send to it, I want a car that's purely analogue even down to the radio and doesn't try and do things for me unexpectedly, and I want a thermostat that makes a satisfying "clunk" when I turn a mechanical knob and has no way for my smartphone (and every ne'er-do-well on the internet) to connect to it.

Surely there's a market outside of grumpy HN readers who know how the sausage is made for this kind of thing? Older people spring to mind, but also people living in areas of poor internet connectivity, people who value DIY repairability, and of course the ecological angle of avoiding the inevitable e-waste of the modern throwaway approach to consumer goods.
Oops, sorry, thanks!
While it will hopefully remain one way, it’s a matter of time the TV will receive updates and ads over DVB or other broadcast mediums.

Could even geo-target ads. TV could figure out its location by GPS, multilateration of DVB signal strengths, what wifi is around, or purchase/delivery information (you didn’t stupidly get your 85” TV delivered to your own house, did you???).

Would be cool to have on-demand TV or other data distribution given how much spectrum is available on DVB-T.

Just like satellite Set top boxes.
Right, although it seems to be a common misconception that such architectures are mutually exclusive alternatives. And terms are relative: Isn't a single microservice a small monolith on its own? Isn't a bunch of monoliths in an enterprise IT landscape that communicate via network so much different from a microservice architecture.
Increasing a buffer size can also make it look like the problem is solved temporarily when you really have a rate issue. It seems that filled containers are coming in at a faster rate than empty containers are going out. We've increased the buffer for empty containers at the dock but did we address the outgoing rate problem?

Why wouldn't the buffer just fill again? I wonder if we've reached a point where manufacturing a new container is more economical than hauling an empty back across the ocean especially if you include opportunity cost to ship actual goods.
Two points:

First, negative feedback is good. The problem here was a case of positive feedback, which are always bad. This Ryan person might be helping in the one crisis, but he has just installed a thousand new timebombs.

Second, the reason NYT has nothing about this is that NYT editors tell its reporters to find stories that seem to illustrate what the editors want said. NYT is not really interested in what is actually happening; NYT has always been that way.
Do you expect a single study to overturn decades of research and medical practice? Leaving aside that 'absence of evidence is not evidence of absence', that would need to be extraordinary evidence, right?

I'm not surprised at all you doubt the existence - it's a very common phenomenon that modern medicine/science struggles to explain (yet) and it's a very weird phenomenon. E.g. placebos still work when you know it's a placebo, it works for animals, it works so well that insurance will cover it etc.

Maybe Bad Science by Ben Goldacre is a good starting point as a book.
The lack of supply is in the market for cargo unloading at the ports... There are not enough cranes & container chassis to service the combined weight of regular demand plus the backed-up pandemic demand. The unloading infrastructure is very capital-intensive, and highly localized, and so far the shipping companies have been unwilling to invest in expanding unloading capacity.
It matters because it causes a new stacking context. Z-index only affects elements within the same stacking context, so you then can get weird behaviour that one floating tooltip overlaps something in Firefox/Chrome but doesn't in Safari because Safari doesn't create the stacking context.
That's the popular consensus here in LA, it's cheaper to discard the containers than to ship them back empty (and nobody at the receiving end wants enough of what we have to make it worth sending them back full). However I drive through the port area frequently and always see containers stacked well above the 2-high limit. I suppose that means they are not empty containers? There definitely has to be some alternate use for these empty containers. People have tried to build houses with them, but I think one issue preventing widescale implementation of that use is that quite a few of them were originally holding some kind of material that would be hostile to human inhabitants. And living in a metal box in the Southern California summer would not be feasible without expensive air conditioning retrofits.
Port of Oakland says hi.

> We need a team of economists to rederive the relative elasticities of various design choices and boil them down to a new set of design heuristics for space system production oriented towards maximizing volume of production. Or, more generally, maximizing some robust utility function assuming saturation of Starship launch capacity.

This is not really what economists do. Elasticity is not something an economist can “derive” or predict in advance of market developments with any reliability. It can only be reliably observed.

That is the whole point of a free market. What is possible—changes in elasticity between factors—emerges from complex behavior. As it emerges, new efforts can compete to take advantage of it, thereby themselves creating new possibilities.

This is why people are not re-inventing everything around the Starship vision yet; because it hasn’t actually happened yet.

There are many projects and companies sitting on the garbage heap of history because of, basically, a branch prediction error. They guessed wrong on direction or timing. Even if Elon is right about Starship costs, but it takes significantly longer than expected to get there, that’s a huge risk to projects that set it today as a dependency.

I recently bought a Samsung 4K TV and it came with a "free tv" service (that's also crammed with ads). It's intrusive, it auto-plays and can't be disabled and I just don't want it. I've never owned a TV as an adult before and was interested in buying a video console to play some games, so it's kind of my fault for not understanding how these modern TVs work. But even so, if I'm paying £600 for a TV how is it acceptable to have all this nonsense pre-installed on it that can't be disabled or deleted? Nowhere on the sales page does it mention any of that and all the reviews seems to be from happy people on day 1 of purchase. The only way around it is to connect up a third party receiver to it such as Amazon Fire TV or Apple TV...but still feel cheated as a consumer if I have to do that.
I noticed that on Ubuntu at least, `command -v` has the same output format of `which`, where `command -V` does not. Did you accidentally use the latter one?

The problem with trying to avoid the current smart TVs is that the industry has started to subsidize the pricing by selling viewing data. It’s going to be harder moving forward to compete on price without having “smart” features that are really a shim for getting the analytics and tracking packages in there.

I’ve been running a pihole on my home network which also actually removes a lot of client side inserted ads during video playback which is another huge upside.

What has been "traditional" is meaningless today: many women earn more, don't want to have kids etc. Also, saying "this model worked for centuries" is meaningless - you can say the same about slavery, all kinds of discrimination etc. Moreover, we are talking about the freedom to rather than being forced to take a paternity leave.

Is HDMI-CEC (Anynet+ on Samsung) a security/privacy risk also? I remember reading something about it being able to leverage connected devices Internet access a long time ago but I can NOT find anything to substantiate that now.

The statement only referred to the net motion of the vehicle and the deflected air. The fact that during that process the air here of there had higher or lower pressure is incidental, and not contradictory to this explanation. The air might have other things changed about it by the process, such as turbulent motion, but again those are incidental and are not contradictory to the general statement.

> I gather that it's become harder to ship back empty containers though, and presumably just scrapping them is not a sound solution in the long run either.

This is not obvious to me. The same ships are going back to fetch more goods, so why would they want to go empty?

Surely the cost of manufacturing a new container is (or should be) less than the cost of putting it on an empty boat.
Of course, but I think there’s a benefit to having these be first class states rather than just labels.

Don't connect it to the internet? Not saying what they are doing isn't scummy as all hell, but aside from having to navigate to HDMI 1 when you turn on the TV (for the models who don't support setting a default on boot) that should work perfectly as a dumb TV.

I find it interesting that Debian even cares whether 'which' is POSIX or not, given that they don't ship a lot of POSIX commands (e.g. 'ed' and 'bc') by default. It seems to me much of the value in such a standard is you can either rely on it or not; deliberately omitting some of the specified utilities, then using other utilities as arguments in a systems architeecture discussion seems like a self-contradiction. Unfortunately the Debian wiki entry on POSIX merely defines it and doesn't enlighten us as to policy decisions.
Yeah I've thought this too. Measuring TSA effectiveness by number of knives, guns, and TNT caught in backpacks seems insufficient, because the very existence of the TSA likely dissuades loonies from considering commercial aircraft as a viable option in their plans. But you can't measure the number of events that never happened, so we can't get a full picture of exactly how many attacks the TSA prevents by existing.
Love that game idea
The cement alone would take years to pour. The giant cranes have to have rail to unload onto, and it has to go somewhere. The computers to control it could take years to program. The harbor dredging and shore upgrades could take years. And its not all in parallel.

Maybe an off-shore port? With a floating causeway of rail? To do something quickly requires some out-of-the-box thinking.

sure, changing defaults for different use-cases is totally normal for any database. Best thing: CouchDB 3.x comes with shard splitting and default shard factor of 2 (previously 8), so you get best of both worlds getting started, and you end up with larger dbs you can split their shards on the fly.

I don’t agree that going with a publisher is a fool’s game. Yes, they take the majority of the income of the book, but most technical books don’t do all that well anyway. In return, they provide credibility and marketing support, as well as a certain amount of editing (depends on the publisher) and infrastructure support (ISBN, getting the book into stores, etc.)

For me, the credibility and marketing is more valuable than the money to be made. I spent a full year writing the new edition, close to full time, and I’ll likely never be paid what I’m worth for that time. But going with O’Reilly as my publisher means that a lot more people will hear about and read the book, and that’s a win to me.
> This isn’t a showstopper event, it’s a process stopper event.

Again, the PAR paper describes the specific examples where a single disk sector failure on a single replica can be a showstopper event — for the whole cluster, even precluding reconfiguration since the log might no longer be functional.

I know I've been hammering this point (single local disk sector failure = global cluster data loss or else global cluster unavailability), but it's really why PAR is essential for a distributed database, and why it won best paper at FAST '18.

That's an odd problem. A few possible causes jump to mind:

A. Someone is poisoning it between you and Cloudflare, but only for DNS requests directed towards Cloudflare.

B. Someone is poisoning it between Cloudflare and Gandi.

C. Someone was able to trick Cloudflare into thinking it is the authoritative DNS provider and its authoritative DNS servers are the same ones as its recursive resolvers.

D. Something got missed in troubleshooting. (Not trying to be a jerk, it's just always a possibility.)

You could probably surface whether it's A or B by playing around with DNSSEC.

I'm not certain, but you might be able to figure out if it's C with this: https://rdap.cloudflare.com

> Don't assume that launches for refueling operations happen during the launch window. The window is really as long as you want it to be for refueling.

Indeed, the parent comment was making a bad assumption. If you look at it that way, refueling can happen anytime in the 2-years between windows. So say 10,000 launches over 730 days is 13 or 14 launches per day. Given multiple launch sites, seems feasible enough (in the same sense of feasible as producing 100,000 tonnes of goods destined for mars every 2 years).

The article says different... The author's core claim is that unloading capacity is the bottleneck, specifically a lack of infrastructure (cranes - container chassis, mostly).

The costs of slowdowns at the unloading bottleneck is passed on to truckers, because most of them are contractors, paid by the load and not by hours worked... They're waiting in much longer lines than pre-pandemic, but aren't compensated for the additional time. So lots of truckers have quit driving.

So he's saying that the solution is to (A) invest in unloading infrastructure to remove the bottleneck, and (B) improve pay & working conditions to get the truck drivers back to work.

I agree with you but not only the ports it’s going to be the last mile of the supply chain.

Let’s assume they unload every ship in a week or two all of those trucks have to push the stuff to the right place. Maybe some of them had to layoff and or furlough truckers. Those truckers then get better jobs . So you still fail.

> The POSIX-blessed way of finding an executable program is command -v, which is consequently built into most shells. Given the standard alternative, Adams said, "surely no one competent would choose to have a package depend on `which` when a standard POSIX utility can do a better job".

While I can understand having this attitude, a whole lot of package build scripts, not just in Debian, but in the upstreams, rely upon which existing and printing out the path of an executable without a deprecation warning. I would expect a Debian maintainer to realize that. Debian does patch the heck out of upstream packages, but they don't provide everything, and all Debian users are not going to want to go to equal effort to patch all of the build files for packages Debian doesn't provide.
