The only new take here is that it calls this artificial demand. Instead of just demand.

It doesn’t say it directly, but it is interspersed throughout: Basically because the author is researching price manipulation in cryptocurrency, and proof of work demand is correlated to price, that chip production demand is artificially inflated.

The counterpoints are that

1) miners have a much lower cost of production than the cryptocurrency’s market price. Their selling and dilution is not enough to bring down the market price as new and recycled cryptocurrency supply becomes a lower and lower percentage of the existing supply. (Edit since rate limited: I didn't say or imply that was their selling had any point or purpose, only acknowledging it has little and decreasing effect on the market price)

2) Miners reinvest into newer hardware, and there is a predictable or computable time before they are able to. Euphoria in wanting to do this will be related to the market price but the market price isn't why they do it. It is only verrry recently that miners could attract outside capital as they became publicly traded and the crypto institutional investors got big enough to also offer lending. The crypto financing space is self grown over the last decade, with still very little buyin from outside institutions.
At some point all of these chargers are going to have to start charging an equivalent to the gas tax to maintain the roads. EVs are heavier than their ICE equivalent.

I know some politicians want a mileage fee paid at registration but that is a privacy issue and problematic for low income folks.
Is this still working in iOS14/15?
Would it be an option to let someone else operate the system and collect payments/donations, and then you'd cover the rest of the costs? You wouldn't be able to get any profits if those ever come in, but I wonder if this would qualify as "not working" when all you're doing is giving software & giving money.
This article is about DC fast charging, which is absolutely critical for long trips, and not supposed to be used at all for local travel. There's basically zero overlap between use cases for them and for home chargers. Having a home charger doesn't help one bit when you're 300 miles away from home and now need to charge back up to drive 300 more miles.
If your editor keeps the selection once you paste, you can just hit tab / shift + tab until the indentation's correct. And there's no counting “did I copy the correct number of close brackets”.

I actually find Python easier in this regard, even in editors where I have to re-select everything I just pasted.

> Because the miners will stop their operations when Ethereum moves to proof of stake in 2030

Well, from the perspective of Ethereum, they will, since Ethereum will no longer be PoW...

> Because there won't be a hard fork from miners who would rather have PoW.

There might be, or they might use Ethereum Classic. That's all fine, the second biggest network (Ethereum) will still be PoS so they can do whatever they want.

I don't blame anyone for pursuing their self interest. I would do the same thing if I was them. But it's dishonest to say their primary motivation isn't economic. If they're fleeing something in their home country, they've successfully escaped it by getting to Mexico. Continuing to the US is an economic decision.
They were typos, as Peter's already explained. I've edited the old titles now. Good catch btw, I completely missed that!

Attorneys don’t use Git, but they do use version control software. Examples are NetDocs, iManage, and even GDrive/Box/Dropbox (which are also document management systems). It largely depends on the firm.

There are some differences between what they need and what software engineers need.

Lawyers will sometimes use version control as layers in a release system, almost like development/staging/production (where production is the final executed copy). So version 1 will be the form, and version 2 will be the draft, etc.

Other times they will use it in a similar manner to engineers. But the top version is the working copy, and once they are satisfied with that draft they will version up.

Engineers use git to track changes and revert changes, but attorneys do not typically need to revert and once a document is executed, prior drafts aren’t really that important.

So there are fundamental differences between how lawyers and engineers look at version control.

It would be pretty nifty if attorneys/clients could collaborate using a version control system, but it’s hard enough to get attorneys to try any tool let alone a group of attorneys, so it would be a real stroke of luck to wedge yourself in here successfully.

Background: made a document management system for a law firm.
Oh, I see. You're arguing in bad faith.

I don't even know how to account for that, really. Is it your honest interpretation of what I'm saying that black pignment is the literal cause of violent responses? Geez...

I mean, I don't think this discussion will be fruitful now, but just in case:

This is like logic 101. We're not debating that race causes behavior - it does not. But that doesn't mean there isn't an overlap between demographic and behavior. For example, there is an overlap between being black and being lower-income in this country. There is a relationship between low-income/poverty and violence. Do you understand that?

Skin color is not the cause. I'm completely happy to ignore it. You could equally say "people who respond aggressively are 3x likely to be shot." It is you making the racial connection, not me.
Glad I wasn't the only one bothered by that, it must be a recent(-ish) trend, I keep reading it more and more lately.
Anyone using this site should know that it is based on no validated method that I'm aware of. It's entirely speculative.

There are way too many people out there making "risk models" that are based on assumptions that haven't been validated, and methods that haven't been tested. A model is no better than the assumptions used to create it, and simply because a site tells you what they've done, doesn't mean that what they've done is valid.

"Miasma theory" led to mask usage, even during the bubonic plague. The technique of masking up is nearly 1000+ years old (and maybe there are older historical examples that I'm unaware of...)

The only time "Miasma Theory / Masks" didn't work out was Cholera in the 1800s, because that was from drinking-water instead of an airborne disease (which eventually led to the discovery of microorganisms and modern theories of disease). But there's no denying that COVID19 is airborne. (Sure, we had worries about physical contact in March/April 2020, but today in 2021 we know its airborne).

Otherwise, even the primitive middle-age peasant knew masks / miasma theory was effective to prevent the plague from spreading.
I know. The retrogression was worse than expected. Possibly, to answer your question, but the facts matter so definitely consult with someone before taking any action.
It has nothing to do with the keys. Those people were buying registration as vaccinated. The employees just registered them as vaccinated.
I appreciate the work going on to make high quality poolers for Postgres...I just really wish the work was done in-core so we could have built in connection pooling, or the work done to make grabbing a new connection as cheap as if you were using a pooler. It sucks to have to add complexity to your stack to fix a "deficiency" in Postgres' design.

Still, I am glad there is effort put into project even if I selfishly wish it was done in-core.

I don't know the numbers so cannot argue. But, even if they don't deter people (which I doubt), they sure help solving some serious crimes (I can provide plenty of examples). That means they help putting criminals behind bars - making the streets safer.

Cameras today can even be used as self defense. People are less likely to hit someone in public if they are being filmed. Look how phone cameras changed the way police do things for example. Why? because they know they are being filmed and cannot get away like they used to. I rest my case.

The tricky spots are the front top where the cables run over the top of the pack, that's a perfect spot for water to seep in and at the very bottom where the spray from the wheels hits the bottom of the pack. Once it's properly sealed that won't be an issue though, but in this experimental phase I'm eyeing the skies carefully before a ride to make sure I won't end up being drenched. A couple of spatters it will definitely survive but a full-on Dutch-dunking could well be problematic.

> And if CamelCase is so hard to read, why is it the norm for "high level languages"

That's over-selling it a bit. It's more common, but not dramatically so. Outside of class names, CamelCase isn't the norm for Python, PHP, CSS, HTML. It's also not the norm for shell scripting, but shell scripting has horrible readability for other reasons.

I believe CamelCase is more common for languages like Go, C#, and Java because they grew up in large organizations where having god objects/classes with 400 methods is kinda normal and having aMethodWithAReallyLongName is pretty common. One of the advantages of CamelCase is that it does shorten really long names.
When someone is killed by police they are not convicted of anything. You're also ignoring statistics regarding bias in arrest and conviction.

You're effectively saying that random people deserve to die because random people get convicted because they share a skin color.

Every independent variable should be graphed perpendicular. X and Y when graphed are perpendicular. If they are not graphed perpendicular it indicates that a change in X position must change Y (or vice versa) whereas being perpendicular makes it clear that they are independent and you can change one without any thought that you're changing the value of the other.

Complex numbers have 2 independent variables. The real and the imaginary parts. You can change one part without being forced to change the other. So you graph them perpendicular.

It's not really a convention, it's a rule that each independent variable is perpendicular (or else they aren't independent!). Complex numbers have 2 independent variables.
> Angry man against immigration: threatens to emigrate.

Bit of a weak and snarky straw man, friend. I'm absolutely not against immigration - what I am against is immigration to the UK, and any other already overcrowded place for that matter, when it necessarily results in destruction of the environment else destruction of quality of life for the population. Pod life will be miserable (intentionally miserable?) when it comes.

I agree with you on the ruling classes - who are ethnically distinct from and apparently contemptuous of the indigenous population, dating back to Norman times.

I'm a moderator here. It looks like we banned your account early on because you posted something that broke the site guidelines. We have to be strict about this when accounts don't have much history because HN gets a ton of troll accounts.

Unfortunately, this also means we have to make guesses when there isn't much information to go on, and that leads to false positives. Your account looks like one of those, since it went on to participate on HN in a good way. I'm sorry about that—we always correct these situations when we see them, but sometimes it takes time before we see them.

I've unbanned the account now, so everything should be fixed. If you need anything else, email us at hn@ycombinator.com.

Cafes and restaurants have pretty low margins, so I wouldn’t expect them to have capital available to retrofit chargers.
A big theme that I see in all of this is the fact that we have public health officials making proclamations with high certainty like "Natural immunity is inferior to vaccine induced immunity and therefore you need to get vaxxed even if you recovered from a previous infection" in a specific area of study that is ongoing and in constant flux. It's clear to me that we are only scratching the surface of understanding the immune system. Maybe they are right when they say this, but I don't know, and I strongly suspect the scientists don't know yet either, considering how much research is still on-going.

I was being told with absolute certainty by friends that natural immunity is less effective than the vaccines, while simultaneously a high-N longitudinal study from Israel is showing a rate of reinfection far lower amongst previously infected vs. breakthrough infections in the vaccinated. I think that the certainty of this conclusion is driven by antibody measurements, but not taking into account some of the things this study is mentioning, like memory T-cells.

One of the assumptions that is pretty baked into the public health folks that the scientists are definitely not certain about is the spike protein being the ideal binding target for MRNA vaccines. This article is indicating that they are searching for other targets to create a vaccine that functions, in effect, like what this initial one was SUPPOSED to do: Not be leaky. My suspicion is that the second generation COVID vaccine will be a one and done shot, with no boosters needed. At least I hope so.
I don't think you really understand the implications of that statement. You can't even have bronze-age level technology with 0 carcinogens. At least not with present technology.

You can't burn wood. You can't heat a lot of metals. Practically anything that requires smelting metal is out because of the preceeding two. Eletrical power is basically a non-starter, because the mining and refining both release carcinogens.

We need more advanced technology to be able to truly isolate those emissions, but we don't have the ability to develop that technology without releasing those emissions. The goal should be managing the amount of emissions we allow, and prioritizing the "emission credits" towards goals that can reduce those emissions further.
Interesting stuff. Thanks for sharing it!

>so I tried to turn the wheel to avoid it from going into the wrong lane but the car by itself took control and forced itself into the incorrect lane

Something doesn't add up about this report. Teslas are not fly-by-wire. Their steering wheel and brakes are mechanical. You can't turn the wheel without the wheels turning. It therefore shouldn't be possible for the computer to overrule the human. Considering that, it is unclear what intervention the driver actually did and what "the car by itself took control" means. My initial hunch is that the driver isn't being entirely truthful in an attempt to shift blame from themselves to Tesla. But even if that is the case, it wouldn't clear concerns about the safety of FSD.
Is there any documentation you'd be able to point to about how to structure this? Not the OP but in a similar boat.

Using Ethereum as an example, the code is open source. The Ethereum Virtual Machine is a cloud computer. As in, when you execute code on the EVM it is executing on someone else's computer for a per-use price. Hence, "open source cloud computing".

At least that's what I think the parent is getting at. I would agree it's a bit of an obtuse analogy and doesn't necessarily apply to all of crypto as a whole.
No, there is a direct relationship between the power exerted and the power the motor will add. There is a nifty torque sensor built into the cranks.
So it can provide piddling amounts of power given very favourable conditions.

Google Docs do not have the 1:1 feature parity as Word and LibreOffice. Law Firms are particular with their documents and templates. It have to be consistent across word processors which Google Docs lack. Google Docs is a ultra-lite version of Word/LibreOffice.

Lithium, yes. I am very comfortable trading the existential threat of climate change, the local environmental damage caused by fossil fuel particulates, and the massive damage done by fossil fuel extraction for the damage caused by lithium extraction. The quantities of lithium required are a couple of orders of magnitude less than the quantities of oil we extract annually.

There are a good half dozen viable methods of extracting lithium. Some are substantially cleaner than others, which are the ones we should use.
