On a long enough timeframe and nothing else changing, yes it would just fill up. Realistically, it gives them breathing room to get the rest of the rate up.

I am curious what the costs of making a new container and recycling the old instead of shipping them back is. Trade isn't symmetrical. I assume shipping them back is cheap because otherwise the ships are going back nearly empty, so it's almost free to ship them back.
People like me are stuck. Not like we can return the TV's after years of owning them.
The primary reason is that it doesn't have the capacity of Los Angeles and Long Beach. It has fewer cranes, less lot space, and importantly, less rail capacity serving it.
So I think we agree! The initial meeting OP mentioned (where they were like "let's make a list!") probably took place around 2017. I'll certainly grant your point about when more detailed work began. I'll also grant that who knows, maybe they didn't sign off on the concept of listening to the feedback until a year later.
>Keeping it tightly controlled like that also makes it harder to crack

Can you elaborate?
I agree. Similarly relativism can evaporate some pain. You can feel pretty bad if you think you're alone in a situation. Just knowing someone went through the same issue relieves part of the pain, even though nothing changed in your life.
Only reason Boston won that year? Clemens got narced out. A fastball right between the eyes really does a number on the stats. What would be the programming job market equivalent? San Fran has all the money. Only because they found a palatable disguise for their political machine. And look at how their politicians brag about it. "Silicon Valley was the only people to make money during the pandemic." "Oh yeah? It's because you are a crook. You're a thief. You steal from the sick. You abuse your power and lock down everyone just to enrich yourself."

Interesting read, thanks. I've delved into websockets and hit some interesting issues. I don't think I've had this scenario - that I know of - but this is good to know.
Scottish islands produce 30% excess clean energy, turn it into hydrogen
I’ve seen this kind of thing happen at companies. There is a serious problem that all the lower level people know about, but nobody says anything to the higher ups because nobody wants to be seen as a troublemaker and potentially lose their job. Everyone assumes that eventually it will become so bad that the higher ups will notice. That rarely happens in my experience. Instead things become bad and the solution is layoffs, reorgs, etc. In the midst of the chaos we can often make the change that precipitated the whole crisis without anyone becoming wiser. Rinse and repeat.

Same for me. Tried to use it for various things but it never works well for me. Now it is function as a Zoom meeting and videos. It is so locked down which make it behaves like a smartphone rather than actual productivity device.
I dunno about that. A lot of the article is talking about incentives. The ports enjoy a monopoly, and the manner in which they're handling these delays allows them to charge exorbitant fees to everybody using the port. And, sure enough, cranes are expensive and have a long lead-time, especially when steel is bottlenecked. Fixing this would be costly and the ports are probably concerned about building up capacity that won't be necessary when the problem clears. When the solution is expensive and the problem is profitable, is inaction "greed?"
So make a law that says doing crooked things is forbidden (oh - hang on).
Yes you can use your DSLR as a +500g (without the lens, or the mic, or the cage) dongle. There is a huge list of problems with this approach but it boils down to the simple truism that, for pros, ports are good and dongles are bad.

The most annoying thing when learning to program is that experienced programmers take your bullet points for granted -- and don't explain them well / don't explain them at all. But grokking those bullet points has a significant material impact on your ability to pick up the actual language itself later on.

The same is true when you're experienced -- programmers often say that programming is easy, which is because _syntax_ is often easy. It's the mechanics of how everything fits together that is difficult, and is often overlooked as a concept.
Or, and this is radical, we could just stop buying cheap Chinese-made crap like inflatable Halloween decorations made from petroleum products and shipped across the sea using bunker oil.

Or, we could pass strong right-to-repair legislation and mandate 3-5 year warranties on electronics so that my 55-inch Samsung curved LED TV can be fixed when it dies at 2 years and one month old.

Or, even more radical, we could stop squeezing out consumer babies and training them in our wasteful ways.

But no, let's keep feeding the bloated consumers of America. Let the planet burn!
I personally try to collect nothing. I essentially "collect" two things

Every material thing you own can weigh you down. I try to make sure I use everything I own vs owning things just for the pleasure of owning them.

I have pre kindle books that I wish I could convert to kindle.

I wrote amazon suggesting I give them my books for free, then they give me the digital copy at a discount (maybe 50%?) At some point I might buy the kindle versions and then sell the books to a used bookstore (at 25%).
Thanks for this. The article was a nice read, and one I hadnt seen, though I'm relatively new to participating here. Interestingly I noticed this comment [1], which was basically what happened to me when i emigrated to reddit back in 2006 from Digg.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that the 'stacking rule' meant that people with more empties than they could stack 2 high on their property were "storing" empties on trailer chassis that carry one container.

As I understood it, by letting them stack empties higher, it freed up trailers to be used by trucks to go get containers out of the port. When that happens the port then wants empties to put back on the ship (or full if they are going somewhere) and then the ship can continue on.

So the "win" here was that more trailers would be available to take full containers from ships and that would move things along.
Think the perferated panel is the top, and the rear intake is completely exposed.
It’s time to load. An empty ship may be halfway back to China to get a new (overpriced) load before a similar ship is loaded with empties.

Retrofitting a Classic Mini with an Autonomy Stack
Granted, the original idea was on real property. But practically speaking, is there much difference with the way IP law works in the US? Patent trolls are essentially rent seekers, with similar economic effects. Even worse, it's much harder to realize you're infringing a lot of the time. At least with land there are lines in the sand you can look up at a county clerks office.
What stage in the process of disputing the patent's validity are they at?

Are there higher judges they can appeal to for a more rational outcome?
It would be amazing for students.

In college a lot of students get a device that needs to last for 4 years, not knowing what classes they’ll end up taking (often they switch majors).

Lots of students will get iPad Pros as their only device. When they decide to take a class that requires coding, they’ll run into all the support problems, and either need to do all their work in a library or pony up more money they don’t have to get a worse-spec computer that they can actually do their assignments on.

These classes typically have support guides for MacOS and Windows. Even making it possible to install MacOS on an iPad Pro would make the device good enough to be a student’s only computer.
I can see an interesting and controversial entertainment series based on an alternative history retelling of Einstein, in his role as patent clerk, reading John Michell's work and that is the seed which inspires Relativistic Theory. Tie the work of Mitchell and his world to Einstein's. The juxtapositions of time and culture, British 1770's versus Germany's early 20th century would be quite entertaining on their own.
Hey, great work. I have a small feature request. I want to be able to give feedback on code to my students, just like in github. Click on a particular line(number), a text box pops up and then I can type in my comments. Is it possible to build the feature?
Bandit is an HTTP server, not a client. It performs the same job in the stack as Cowboy does currently (just up to 5x faster as this post's title alludes to).

The Bandit project shares a small amount of code with the Mint project (Andrea & Eric were kind enough to factor out their HTTP/2 header compression library for use in Bandit), but this is mostly due to HTTP being a largely symmetric protocol (ie: there is a lot of functionality used equally by both clients and servers).

Yes.

> A bureaucrat insisting that stacked containers are an eyesore, causing freight to pile up because trucks are stuck sitting on empty containers, thus causing a cascading failure that destroys supply lines and brings down the economy. That certainly sounds like something that was in an early draft of Atlas Shrugged but got crossed out as too preposterous for anyone to take seriously.

This is a little disingenuous. From what I understand, this was a rule put in place a long time ago, in a different context. The ramifications of such rule under unprecedented stress weren't understood or foreseen. Infinitely stacked containers would probably be an eyesore to be honest.

Great they removed the rule, but don't forget about Chesterton's fence.
I followed this on Twitter and think some clarification is in order.

1 - Joe immediately regretted using the word "loser" https://twitter.com/JTLonsdale/status/1453420638832635904

2 - The headline is missing "in an important position." Joe's statement applies to the top leaders of a company/country, not everyone. He's saying people like the CEOs/SVPs of a company, or the presidents/cabinet members of a country, shouldn't take six months off without staying involved even part time. That's a reasonable take that I think most boards and top executives agree with.

It's not like you have to spend your entire life at work and can never see your child. It's just that top leaders at a company have commitments to the company that shouldn't really be dropped for six whole months. If you're in one of these positions, and you take time off (for any reason), it either needs to be a short vacation, or you need to stay involved at the same time (like a vacation where you're still checking in for important meetings).
They're breaking a story that didn't actually happen - the article itself says that the boatride isn't the reason for the policy change, it just sounds nice and marketable. They also admitted that they got influential people ready to retweet the story - also a marketing move.

Before I was a lead research engineer at CMU, I only rarely showed up on search results for FAANG companies. After a few months of being there, I started appearing rather frequently, and their recruiters would even argue with me that I should interview with them. A Facebook recruiter once told me they targeted me specifically because and I quote, "we know smart people are there". My favorite line of BS from them was when an Instagram recruiter tried to tell me, "everyone is our kind of candidate" LOL!

Being a lead research engineer isn't quite the same as being one of the PhD students. Although I did get quite a few people there who insisted I would be great for FAANG, it remains impossible to get in. Meh. I refuse to pay for leetcode premium and effectively cheese my way in.
If that's Samsung interjecting onto other apps, that's horrible. I guess if it's Hulu it's still horrible, but feels less chaotic and it's easier to reason about whether the Hulu value prop alone is worthwhile given the price vs. ads.
"TDP" as such is going away for Alder Lake. Intel is now using a much clearer base power and turbo power number. So for example, the new i5-12600K has a Base Speed of 3700MHz @ 125W and Turbo Speed of 4900MHz @ 150W (if and when thermals allow it) [0]. The old marketing would've just called this a TDP of 125W.

> The problem with this theory is that while they differ, they don't have opposing bias

I think the theory still holds, in that we see different results than if all of these bodies were picked with the same skewed representation at whatever the appropriately weighted average skew would be to match the existing "overall bias".

This, of course, very much depends on the exact scope of what we mean by "the theory"; I would limit it to a statement that distance between who is represented by various government bodies can have a moderating influence and that this can be positive and important. I agree it can be overstated and in particular that it doesn't fully (or nearly) compensate for the biases in the present system.

You are very much correct to bring up differing terms and term lengths as another moderating influence over time.
Presumably, nothing could "force" them, but without cooperation they would simply be blocked forever in Germany.
This article is ridiculous. "It's so easy but nobody expected it to happen!"

Most of freight is run off spreadsheets and over the phone or by email. Flexport is built around digitization and optimization. Half of the appeal of their product is that it gives customers improved visibility!

It's therefore not surprising that a local city mayor didn't realize he had the power to unclog the US traffic jam. Referring to him diminutively as a bureaucrat is unfair. This guy almost certainly didn't even realize he could do anything to fix the problem and the fact that he resolved it in 8 hours (!) is something to be celebrated, not chided.
Yeah, I have an Apple TV 4K on my LG dumb TV which does all this (AirPlay also being far superior to Spotify Connect), though it's the dumb TV that will play back anything off a USB stick. Willing to bet this TV outlasts a "smart" Samsung by many years.
The price of high quality paint, insulation, structural reinforcements, and exterior drainage sounds expensive.

I've never messed with containers because digging yourself out of the thermal hole of starting with a metal box still doesn't sound worth it.
Not sure if serious or sarcastic. If serious, I'd love to hear more about your world view here.
> my personal rule is that it should be older than a year ago before I'd submit it again

That's indeed the rule, but only when the story has had significant attention (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html).

When a story hasn't had significant attention in the last year (or a bit longer), it's ok to repost a small number of times.

Well, we can talk about dropping atomic bombs on Japan during WWII if you want. The discussion isn't going to be a very simple one.
> A bureaucrat insisting that stacked containers are an eyesore

No, that wasn't the case. It was a Fire Department ordinance for the city and not the port. It didn't apply to the Port of Long Beach itself. This is a photo from October 19th, before the emergency order on October 22.

Containers are stacked five high.
From Ryan Peterson's description, it was more that there was no space left to unload full containers from ships or empties from trucks to then pick up a full one from the ship. In essence container grid lock.
Less efficient, but when the energy is used, the weight is gone. And that turns out to be important for efficiency.

You could also look at it as putting down a storage chest so that you can run down a belt and pick up all the items that shouldn't be there, or sticking a chest next to your un-barreling factory while you work out how to get a return train back to the barreling factory, or putting down some fuel tanks to hold light/heavy oil while you research advanced oil processing (before the basic oil change).

I'm skeptical that this will fix the problem by itself, but it buys time to observe the system in action and adjust capacity on other bottlenecks to bring it back into balance.
"Microservices" are not an architecture

Searching the Nix package repository can give you a good idea of how prevalent some software are used as a dependency because Nix packages requires all dependencies to be explicitly specified by design. Now, a quick search for "which" yields 2.5k hits [1]. Although a non-negligible portion of hits are just common uses of the word "which" in code comments, the other large portion of the hits are indeed dependencies on the "which" package. Although the use of the "which" command might potentially be fragile when considering cross-platform use, it seems like a really bad idea to deprecate it from a pragmatic point of view.

Yeah the USB is the kicker. I want to avoid using some crap like Plex, so unless there's a super simple and reliable way of streaming 4K MKVs over the network it is nice to use the pendrive.

I suppose the TV can still use the pendrive even offline, actually.

What advantages does an AppleTV 4K (£169) have over a Roku Streaming Stick+ (£45)?
Yeah, that's fair. But the original first operational launch of the Falcon Heavy (USAF STP-2) was to help certify it for the National Security Space Launch. So one of their main targets was to get classified business that was going to the Delta Heavy rockets. So I don't know how much/little NASAs planned use of the Falcon Heavy affected their decision.
This is what confused me. The discussion made sense to leave it up to the browser to implement, but I can't understand why they didn't require it in the browser WebSocket implementation — they even suggested it and then forgot about it.
Humans are not perfect, some of us get angry at the perception of being superceded by those less experienced. Some will dig in their heels and not fix the issue if it means admitting they were unable to see the problem and suggest a solution.

So that's the beauty of how it was communicated. No blame was placed on anyone, plausible deniability was given out to everyone, and he pre-empted being derided as a layman who doesn't know shit by pretending to accidentally discover the issue. In one fell swoop so many egos were placated and a plan was laid out on top of all that. No back and forth, just all boxes checked and all given license to proceed forward with enthusiasm and intent.
> The problem with any such "climate disaster" is that humans are incapable of conceptualizing the impact of such slow change.

It certainly seems that way (that "that humans are incapable of conceptualizing...", or even better, replace "conceptualizing" with "<X>"), but is it really so? It is surely presently "true" (if one ignores potentiality), but is it absolutely true (across time and all potential paths)?

As a thought experiment, if you rewind 30 or so years, would this statement be an absolute Truth: "Humans are incapable of writing an operating system that <does all the things that Linux does in 2021>"?

Also consider: if Richard Stallman, Andrew Tanenbaum, and Linus Torvalds had done something other than what they actually did[1], where would we (and the internet, etc) be today?

If you then consider humanity's ~paralysis on climate change (or any of our many problems) in this context, doesn't the situation we find ourselves in (on all fronts) seem more than a little absurd? I mean, if we never actually try[2] to achieve something, should we be surprised when we do not achieve it?

[1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux

"Linus Torvalds has stated on separate occasions that if the GNU kernel or 386BSD had been available at the time (1991), he probably would not have created Linux."

[2] Is it not reasonably true that not only do we not try, but we don't even think about trying, or think about desiring (a plausible pre-requisite for trying) to try to think about trying , etc etc etc, recurse to infinity.

Another way to look at this is anyone who can take that much leave is absolutely privilege compared to typical working class people. Back when I was working minimum wage or near minimum wage it was rare to even see women take more than a month off.

Many new fathers would only take one or two days. So at least with my working class background this is a couple of privileged people, from an extremely privileged class complaining about how much they should use their privilege.

The landlord doesn’t care all that much, while you can get three or four months of unpaid leave no working class person can afford to take all that much time.
