Ultralarge ships (top 161 in the world edit: that number of ships is a decade old, sorry) all carry at least 5,000 40' containers (and up to 10,000). That sounds like a lot, but right now the Chinese factories are cranking out about the 600,000 a quarter. (Note, I'm talking about 40' containers, but the industry talks about 20' so you may find double my numbers on a search.)

They seem to cost about 2,500-4,000 to purchase new, so theoretically they could make 20-28MM loading them with empties (if they were worth the same as new). I don't know how long it would take to load the ships with cargo, but there are currently $24MMM (that's 24 billion) in goods anchored outside the port of LA waiting to be unloaded. So 3 orders of magnitude higher. How much of a premium must load/unload capacity be at right now?

If we weren't truck limited, we could just move all the empties far away and stockpile them until they can be profitably returned. But I know people who have tens-of-thousands of dollars in tons of raw materials (think universal inputs) stacked in a warehouse they have to vacate soon and they cannot even give it away because of transportation costs. They're going to have to pay someone to take away the things they (correctly assumed) they could buy for almost nothing last year and would be worth more today.
At least HTTP status codes can reasonably point to where the error is:

2xx - Fine, you get to decide what to do
4xx - Problem on your end, mate
5xx - Problem on our end. Sorry, mate
3xx - It's complicated...

GraphQL responding 200 to erroneous queries is... surprising (assuming only HTTP semantics), but what kind of errors were these?

Of course, we're assuming servers implemented by at least semi-reasonable people.

EDIT: That said, I'd actually be happy with a protocol-level 2, 4, 5, 3 and leaving the rest up the application layer. I know that isn't very HATEOAS, but in practice all people truly want is RPC. (Sadly.)
> Isn't that the stereotype? I thought London area is considered pretty posh.

I think what you're getting at is Estuary English, which is spoken around the estuary of the river Thames. It's pretty close to Received Pronunciation which is sort of the 'standard' English as it used to be spoken on the BBC. And probably what most Americans would classify as a posh English accent or even as just 'British English'. London also has Cockney though, which I don't think anyone would say is posh.
I like this site, it helps me a lot with pronunciation especially someone like me that doesn't go on the TV or watch many videos.

Since the day knowing this site, I found out that I had pronounced many words incorrectly in the past.

A few things people have pointed out, we have to go through sorting out the accents, multiple pronunciations for the same word, etc... But this is very good for the basic pronunciation search.
Yeah, I'm coming from Linux where it's easier to know what's doing what.
Depraved indifference (we don't care how much this will annoy users) rather than bad faith. Given the lack of maintenance burden and the amount of stuff that would break in $bignum scripts, the idea that removing it was seriously even considered speaks volumes.

I would phrase the Bible as a whole to be about something entirely different then what you have described.

It is the description of a people's experience of their God, stretching across thousands of years and dozens of generations.

Reading it gives the feeling that you have lived many many lifetimes seeing cities, dynasties, and empires rise and fall.

Who that God is, is something puzzled throughout and not done justice by comparison to any single nature spirit or polytheistic deity.
If you want to see no zoning in action go to Houston, TX. You can build anything anywhere. You will find a stately mansion next door to a gas station and a titty bar. The result has been the rise of MasterPlan communities and developments. See SugarLand, TX. Imagine your homeowners association with the power to regulate and control businesses in it's area as well.
I actually think forcing someone acting in bad faith (to use the sibling response's nomenclature) to accuse scientists out loud and directly in such a way is the right approach here.

The reason for this is that it forces the bad faith actor to enter the scene, they can't just slink away once the damage has been done and point back at the "doubt." It breaks the 4th wall in a sense, forcing the audience to realize that there is an active party with their own agenda in the scene.

Effectively all a scientist has to say is "The literature is an evolving work that reflects our current understanding. There are many factors that are involved in making public policy, and it seems that you are looking for a way to limit the influence that science can have on that policy to further your own goals that are driven by other factors that seem to be at odds with the public good."

It would be nice if they could also say "Anyone can read the literature for themselves ..." but unfortunately that is not currently the case.

It is true. It is just that who they wanted to marry was not whom they had the right to marry. A gay man had the right to marry a woman just as much as a straight man had.

Thanks. Would my backend also handle the database changes or does Motor Admin still do that with a custom form?
It takes time to load them, and shipping rates from Asia to the US are at an all time high, so they want to hurry back.

Many properties owned by LLCs are actually small-time investors, individuals, and families. LLCs only became a popular/viable way to own real estate in the last couple decades. Now they are the recommended structure for most rental property owners - whether individuals who own 1-5 properties, or huge institutional investors who own thousands.

I would bet that a good chunk of the trend you’re asserting is just small time rental property owners increasingly using LLCs to limit their liability.
> I like the feature that automatically tags people in pictures.

Yeah, when it first launched I thought "this is what facial recognition is for," completely oblivious to the privacy concerns.

In a world where privacy wasn't exploited:

A photo album that automatically finds you in other people's photos is really awesome. Imagine you went to a concert and your phone died, there would likely be dozens of photos with you in the frame. You could likely amass a treasure trove of unexpected perspectives of your memories, from complete strangers.

Fun ideas that are completely incompatible with reality...

> and housing is massively more affordable than elsewhere.

Compared to NYC and SF? Sure. Compared to everywhere else, no:

https://kinder.rice.edu/urbanedge/2020/06/23/rents-and-home-...

https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/...

But then that's just saying you'll find more affordable housing in cities that people don't want to live in, which would then go along with your point.

> Not to say that it's necessarily a model to follow: there's a lot of sprawl involved. Just saying that "abundant housing has some real benefits".

I've heard it isn't a nice place, but I've never been before so can't judge.
The publishing industry was disrupted by technology in 2007 when Amazon released the Kindle. It took a few years, but for a while, independent book authors were rivalling the "Big Five" publishers in terms of both sales volume and books sold.

Part of this was driven by the big publishers' response to indies: they raised the price of their own eBooks to protect their hardcover market. They even illegally colluded with each other, along with Apple, to force these higher prices across the industry.

But they were sued and lost, and the result was a lowering of big publisher eBook prices across the board. On the independent side, the problem was that too many people were publishing too many books. It was impossible to keep up, and there was no good system for finding the "best" independent authors, since tastes are so subjective and the vast majority of independent authors didn't have any money to spend on marketing anyway.

So that leads us to today, where the "Big Four" (trying to become the Big Three) still have access to their promotional machinery, which includes retail bookstores. There are a very few insanely successful independent authors, and a veeeeeery long tail of folks that have no way of getting noticed in the crowd.

Still, the sales volume of traditional publishing and independent publishing remains about equivalent even today (it's hard to get exact numbers because Amazon doesn't like giving them out, but apps like KindleSpy offer a broad estimate) It's just that the latter is spread out among many more authors.
You answered your own question - it's a play for the next generation.

My kids bounce between a multitude of shared digital spaces (games, chat, social, videos etc) and they would be right at home at some kind of metaverse that would bridge them all (if that's even possible).
Since I watched the highlights reel mentioned in the article [1] I wonder if there exists sort of a doctrine in recent PR video production to always include a super annoying aspect of choreography to keep people from thinking too long about the actual message.

Here Zuck and friends are trying neurotically to keep their fingertips at 1cm distance at any time. Waving their hands as if they were mockups.

In recent Apple event recordings Tim, Craig and the gang cannot get their feet together like anatomically unchallenged humans would do when standing casually. Always more than shoulder's width apart. I've observed something similar once after a mountain biking contest, got to do something with the saddle.

It's obviously not pleasing to the eye (or is it me?). But I cannot see a compelling reason and I refuse to take this as a coincidence. Why???

Transferring objects from one world to another may not be desirable for a few reasons. This could lead to coupling of world economies where something that is meant to be - intentionally - scarce in one world now finds itself with an overabundance.
Yes we actually did have a couple questions on how to change the background color, and realized that using a container is "doable" but "not intuitive", so definitely something we should improve on!

And yes the context menu is covered when it's near the top , a bug we need to fix.

About the color, I am not sure whether you want the ugly color or you don't lol, but you seem to have figured it out :D

Thanks for the feedback!
It's interesting how this author is essentially guilty of the very thing she accuses others of. She has simply taken for granted the totality of the Official Position as true almost as a matter of principle, and even though there is divergence of legitimate opinion on the subject.

"First, researchers must learn to identify authors of research, and their relationships with industry and with non-profit groups that have specialized agendas."

Conflicts of interest can be useful to know, but this borders on ad hominem. The whole point here is to engage with the argument being made. As I wrote elsewhere, doubt must have a rational basis. If someone is sowing irrational doubt, then you can counter it by showing why it's irrational and unjustified. You can't stop others from spreading manufactured FUD, but you can respond to the FUD by showing that it is FUD.

"Second, scientists should consider what kinds of argument the data and conclusions serve."

So begin with an official narrative and official political ends and advise scientists to refrain from publishing anything that goes against that narrative or those ends? No, thanks.

Also, the author does not seem concerned about the pervasive low trust in our political institutions today and how enacting certain polities feeds into that distrust, even though that concern falls entirely within the bounds of things that she seems to think are worthy of consideration.
How many years do we have left to slash our emissions again?

How many years to we have to keep listening to the "stop living your ugly human lives" rhetoric before we realize that the "save the trees" activists caused insane amounts of pollution and death through uncontrolled wildfires, the "anti-nuke" activists directly caused global warming, and the idea of an individual carbon footprint was a creation of oil companies to distract from systemic solutions to systemic problems?

You solve problems of scale at scale. If people want something en masse, you figure out how to make that thing efficient. If people want something that is currently bad, figure out how to make it good. The more energy we can consume sustainably per capita, the better. Now make that energy carbon-free, at the system level.

If you want people to pack into cities like sardines, make it actually better, quieter, cleaner, and cheaper, even for people with kids and dogs and hobbies and kayaks. My years lived in various parts of supposedly good cities have been noisier, dirtier, tinier, slower (it takes up to two hours to go a few miles by any mode of transportation -- that's a lot of wasted fuel) and more expensive than elsewhere.

You don't tell people to lower their energy, you build desirable technologies that use less energy automatically, and most importantly, raise the energy consumption level that is sustainable by building more carbon-free power ASAP.

I've generally seen pumped-hydro quoted as 80% efficient.

> It is the absolute best solution there is.

I prefer checklists. With a checklist, I can mark my progress as I go through the motions and, more importantly, interrupt the work even for several days, before I pick it up again. Checklists are much, much easier to adapt. They can also hold more information than progress indication, like important outputs of the procedure that need to be used somewhere else later, etc. They can be archived in case I need to understand how I did it on that particular occasion one year ago.

Google Docs added checklist a while ago and I think they are very handy. And very KISS.
It is absolutely not a rewrite of Darcs, the main difference being that Darcs works with transforms only, whereas Pijul has points between the transforms, allowing it to scale to much larger repos.

I would classify it as slightly more than communication; a metaverse also has to give you some way to "inhabit" it. We're communicating on HN, but HN doesn't really have a way to inhabit it, so I wouldn't call HN a metaverse.
The fact that only 42% are now self-managed (54% managed by paid professionals) leads me to believe that the trend is still against the kind of small-time recent immigrant landlords that the post I was replying to claimed to be the typical landlord. I agree some of the LLCs are investment vehicles for individuals, who buy a property, wrap it in an LLC, and pay a management company to rent it out, but that's a bit different (these are just passive investors buying into an asset class managed by professionals). It'd be interesting to know what percentage though. By number of units (vs. number of LLCs) my bet would still be towards most being larger-scale operations.

In fact, as of the time of that report, one of the largest real estate investors in the US, Blackstone Group, was organized as an LP and went in that category (they changed forms to a Corporation in 2019). A few large real-estate investors still organized in the LLC/LP/LLP form are the BH Companies, UBS Realty Investors, Harbor Group International, AEW Capital Management, and Invitation Homes.

So the rules can be codified sufficiently to test people on, but they can't be codified for a computer?

The only one that sounds more difficult to codify is telling people of the existence of duplicate functions. But as someone who contributes to the linux kernel, I can tell you right now that the only way that works reliably is to have a very large pool of reviewers. Very experienced engineers frequently miss what people are doing in other parts of the source base, the name might not be what they expect, etc, etc, etc. In the case of linux there are a fair number of duplicates, or similar functions, and people write coccinelle patches to replace them on a fairly regular basis after they have been in the kernel for years.

So, I doubt giving someone a formal gatekeeper flag, really helps vs just having wider change review.

Well, we're talking about costs. That's why I asked.
Every generation thinks their problems are the worst. It’s just more of the same political fighting where one side demonizes the other to try to get people on their side. The world moves on until the next time they need to demonize someone and nothing of importance really happened. There is no collapse, just on to the next candidate.
>Democratic rhetoric about “Jim Crow on steroids” is precisely about these restrictions such as number of days of early voting—which are still generally more liberal in these states than in advanced western countries.

We are supposed to be the flag-carrier for free and fair elections. That means fairness with respect to the capability of all voters to "get to the polls", however that may be. We meet them where they are, not the other way around. The alternative opens the door for nominally-unrelated-but-practically-critical barriers to voting - like underfunding public transportation, for example.

>But that’s exactly what’s happening. Foreigners aren’t looking at the actual laws in Florida or Georgia and comparing them to their own laws, they’re hearing Biden call those laws “Jim Crow on steroids.”

>Except, apparently, the “facts” regarding the actual content of these laws.

Let's be clear: I am glad that foreigners recognize the righteousness of American elections when they're at their most free, regardless of how that might impugn their own processes. But that's not where my argument draws its legitimacy. It comes instead from the appropriateness of less restrictive election laws in the face of America's particular values and America's particular history. The actual content of restrictive voter laws allow conduct that is substantially similar to the Jim Crow-era conduct - of the segregationist governments that today's Texas and Georgia and Florida and others are heir to - that the VRA was meant to curb.

If you don't want to be accused of conjuring Strom Thurmond's ghost, don't pass laws he would have applauded for reasons he also would have applauded. You accuse others of not looking at the content of laws when you refuse to critically examine the content of our history.
Simply fantastic! This is really impressive work and very clear too.

Many mom and pop landlords are exempted from housing regulations, and are afforded much more leeway in terms of rights and discretion than larger landlords are.

Almost all of the issues I've had while renting were with small landlords. Corporate landlords at least held up their ends of leases in my experience.
