i'd say synth gas would be more versatile option. Also they can like Iceland export the energy as aluminum or similar products taking a lot of energy to produce. (and a bit dreaming - i think Andes is the place to build a large rail gun style space launcher, and not just for one launch per week like, i mean large spaceport launching stuff non-stop and this is where beside launch energy you'd need energy to produce fuel for the upper stages)
The same is true in fencing.

Though it's mostly because fencing (or boxing) a lefty as a righty is unusual enough that you have less practice doing it. While the lefty pretty much only fences (or boxes) against righties. It boils down entirely to comfort. Someone with a good lefty in their club/team that they regularly practice against won't have much difficulty with it.

What's really funny, by the way, is watching two lefties fence against each other when neither of them have a second really good lefty to practice against. It just looks... awkward.

Of course then you get to a high enough level and it's 100% footwork, and the lefty/right bit mostly stops mattering.
I'd be interested in seeing the math. Would multiple hops and satellites be required? What's the power loss for each hop? What's the cost and capacity for each satellite?
Everything is 20-20 with hindsight. If a school bus went through a rusted out guard rail killing a bunch of kids you'd be hearing about that instead.

There is no winning in these kinds of situations, you just try your best and hope to not be the unlucky one who presided over something that went south. Of course sucking at your job makes it harder to get it right but even if you're good the risk is always there.

The ironic thing is the people of Flint can probably relate to this dilema a heck of a lot better than a bunch of HNers who have no frame of reference for this kind of thing.
> Wealth of nations, book 1, actually. "toil and trouble" could be interpreted as "labour". I certainly take that interpretation.

You are free to interpret it any way you like, but then taking your interpretation and saying that is what Adam smith was trying to say, when it is quite literally not what he said, nor even close to what he said, is called lying, and that is not really okay.
> No, that’s not what is happening

The issue is, you might get a thousand reader interested in the physics and chemistry of film in a specialty magazine about photography. And the oral history of black photographers of that era and the tricks that they used to capture these hard to get ranges of color.

Or, if you write it online and blame racism, you can get 100'000 readers once you get someone majoring in liberal arts to share it.

Good taste is simply a matter of depth.

Take for example coffee. If you have bad taste, you just buy supermarket instant coffee and use the cheapest cafetiere.
If you have taste, you've researched what makes coffee good or bad, buy whole beans roasted locally, and acquired a coffee brewer where you can control the extraction to get a good result.

As long as corporate banking is our value store that’s true.

I’d rather see humans themselves as our value store and motivate, teach, and mentor each other to do the logistics work to that end.

Letting banks gamble with our deposits when we’re all in the habit of doing these things daily anyway seems like pointless extra steps.

I think people are more willing to be a stable mesh network of agents for each other than history full of feudal warlords will let us believe, we don’t need to prop up ephemeral tent poles. That’s just old story.

Bonobo tribes have been observed killing alphas and then developing social harmony. Not saying we should behead billionaires, but austerity for elites would be a figurative death.
Interesting.. i thought it wasn't a good idea, based on this video (The Problem with Solar Energy in Africa, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OpM_zKGE4o) where is stated that Europe failed to do something similar connecting the North of Africa (Morocco and Algeria) to Europe (south of Spain).
> They're not rich enough to do it all.

But we're not talking about doing it all, we're talking about meeting its minimum legal requirements. If a city doesn't have enough money to do that, then presumably it should declare bankruptcy.
While there are clearly bad (and some interesting) ethical aspects of the Fappening, it was not a big problem for society. Everyday many people experience the same violation of their privacy (revenge porn sites, accidentally sending nudes to the wrong address, etc), and life goes on. (And as far as I know nobody of the affected celebs have taken drastic measures, while unfortunately this cannot be said for non-celebs, as cyberbullying regularly gets people to attempt suicide with "success".)

Similarly the day-to-day ransomwares probably cost more than securing browsers will.

The developers have constrained themselves by refusing anything that falls outside of the scope of a strongly typed unit-of-work implementation.

This means we will probably never get:
1. Ability to pull non entity types out of the database without a whole lot of boilerplate. See the bizarre obstinacy here: https://github.com/dotnet/efcore/issues/10753

2. Any kind of bulk insert/delete/update ability. It's been a "to do" for years now.

3. Much better query composability.

Basically their response is to just use raw SQL for anything that isn't a unit-of-work feature. They're missing a lot of benefits that a ORM could provide when they say that.

The ef.core team feels like a lot of rejects that were stack ranked out to their own team. I know that is mean to say, but they iterate extremely slowly compared to teams like asp.net .core, visual studio code, c# language group, f# language group.
I make it as (100%-3.5%)^15 ~= 58.6% retained.
Pure natural selection? Crap like this works, so it is inevitable that the more hostile your marketing is the more users you are going to get, and thus the more likely someone is going to submit it to HN.
It's really not that hard [1] and can be used relatively easily for DoS. Privilege escalation with it is beyond me but I'm sure someone can come up with more reliable ways of exploiting it.

I was a web developer in a previous life. You can write basic standard code and Firefox/Chrome/even old Edge works fine, but Safari has a million little things that are buggy or don't work, or break at random in new versions. I wasted so much time hacking random bits of code to support iPhone. In 2021 now that IE is finally dead, I'm sure Apple is singlehandedly keeping BrowserStack in business.

The first one that comes to mind is the <input> select method doesn't work[1], although MDN claims it does. It works _sometimes_, for reasons I couldn't discern. I'm not sure about you, but I wouldn't call selecting text a fancy or bleeding edge feature.

I see some pretty toxic stuff on Youtube that needs to be pushed back on.

My son recently got shunned by a close friend who came under the spell of a "blackpill" incel because my son is taller than him and thus "mogging" him.

The media only cares about inceldom when there is a mass shooting, but short of that there are people on Youtube (Wheat Waffles I'm talking about you) who are merchants of despair right out of Danganronpa. This is the new frontier for "cult deprogramming" even though it is not associated with economic exploitation like Scientology or organized violence like Islamist Terrorism.
Scary and chilling': AI surveillance takes U.S. prisons by storm
I would have assumed corona discharge would be worse in sea-water & made this basically infeasible. The air or sea-water around such high voltage cables gets ionized, even if a strong insulator is used (via quantum tunneling?). I would have thought this effect would be worse in sea-water but perhaps not.
For one, the power cables seem to be thicker and better shielded than the fiber optic ones.

That aside, I don’t think any economy will rely purely on imported power - backups in the form of natural gas plants or grid scale storage will likely need to form part of the mix - there’s already the chance of some cloudy or rainy days over the solar farms, so it’s unlikely there isn’t a contingency.
They are working via WARP VPN, which is good. I wonder how do they differ those services, by headers only?

Loaded down with crap.

What businesses want Xbox companion and xbox game bar running on all their work computers - seriously -> if you are on Microsoft search for xbox on your work computer.

Does Candy Crush Saga still come on the business pro ISO installs? That used to make the office laugh - who is paying $200/machine to get candy crush saga pre-installed.

In fact, the trick was they also had a separate app called app updater that would reload these things even if you uninstalled Candy Crush.

Too funny! The only way to get candy crush to go away was to uninstall it, then uninstall app updater - though people didn't date do that biz side because they didn't know what else app updater supported.

The power loss when talking about cables is considered to be quite a bit at about 50% from napkin calculations.

The power loss of beamed microwaves is a bit more. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egyr.2020.12.026

> Finally, the simulation of the long-distance high-power MWPT system can achieve 8.5 kW DC power with about 1% DC–DC transmission efficiency at the operating 2.45 GHz frequency and the 10 km distance away.
> Time and time again, a 1-2kloc Python prototype, the bulk of which was written in a week, would take months to translate to C++, at times longer than the whole process of research+prototype.

I've heard reports like this for many years.

My pet theory is that the discrepancy here is ~10% static types and ~90% memory management. Having a GC (or refcounting or whatever) fully baked into the language so that you don't have to think at all about how values are passed around and stored is a monumental productivity boost. Possibly the biggest win in software engineering productivity in the history of the field.

They have just overlooked that China has a solar area which is comparable (or just a tad inferior to Chile's).

Gobi Desert.

It's far easier to harness solar there and then push it onto the coast than building a 15,000km submarine cable

Old family wisdom: There is no "normal" for normal (meaning non-C-section) childbirth. A mother's physical and mental recovery timelines will vary (possibly widely) with each birth, and assumptions that it'll just keep getting easier tend to end badly.

(C-sections are somewhat more predictable on the physical recovery side...but do not lack for issues of their own.)
Maybe another way to approach this would be to do away with certain value-loaded terms and talk instead about how all human behavior is best explained by a complex, partially understood, but limited set of spectrums that will inevitably prove maladaptive to many sets of circumstances in a way that might seem "obvious" to most everyone else.

I think there's lots of value in using provocative terms to make that point. If we can accept that everyone really is "stupid, lazy, and insane" I think that should end up robbing those words of their sting. It should prime us to be more compassionate and patient with others and ourselves, not less.

I also don't think we can get away from the fundamentally disappointing nature of this without making a totally separate point. It's probably true that any given person is also predisposed to be very well adjusted to many sets of circumstances (i.e. to be kind, brave, and pretty damn clever in their own way etc.), but that's clearly not a guarantee in the same way.
>It has many loopholes, such as assigning each of your 5 properties to your wife, daughter, aunt, shell company or a dog

Shell company of a dog doesn't have a primary residence.

As for the rest, either they'll have to live there (in which case, it's fair), or they'll go behind the bars for properly tax evasion.

And it doesn't take much to find out that a property listed as primary residence for tax purposes is being rented out. Add some reporting incentives, and hey, that loophole takes care of itself.
Good point. Suppose I was assuming that wasn’t a factor here since they said they would have quit if not for employer based insurance.
It was hard to build a DC network in 1900. It's easy today with modern power electronics, which Nikola Tesla didn't have. In fact building a DC network is somewhat easier than AC now because phase-matching is unnecessary.
That applies to omnidirectional broadcast of power rather than beams.
Show HN: AI assistant to help you find the perfect restaurant for every occasion
Hi HN,

We want to build an AI assistant to help people make better decisions. To get started, we decided to pick a decision all the founders struggle with: where should you eat tonight?
With our alpha, we are trying to solve the problem of users typing a complex restaurant query that could be broken up into filters. One of the problems with current AI solutions is that they don’t make it obvious what the AI understood from your query and used to produce the results.

We also wanted to test if the chatbot interface makes it easier to decide than regular search does.
On the technical side, we’re using state-of-the-art natural language processing (NLP) and planning to dramatically improve AI capabilities over time by taking advantage of the rapid pace of AI improvement.

Happy to answer any questions about it!

Chile is among the best places in the world for solar power, projects are being completed with power guarantees at costs under $0.03/KWh -- a 25% increase or even 50% increase would be pretty cheap power, according to the EIA still at least 1/3 cheaper than electricity from an incremental advanced nuclear plant.

I'm not sure how you mean "egalitarianism is a trap". Where does this egalitarianism exist? Wealth gaps are massive and continue to grow basically everywhere in the world. There's now a large class of people who own nothing and likely always will.

Or do you mean you oppose specifically legal egalitarianism? That all people should not be equal under the law; some more equal than others?
In a better world you'd also get paid time off after a car crash , heart surgery, etc.

To be clear, I don't think you're being obtuse at all.

Fractional reserve lending means that an increase in the monetary base is a result of lower interest rates - money supply operates on a pull model not a push model. Lower interest rates mean a more expensive house costs the same per month when mortgaged, which in turn increased the outstanding supply and balance of mortgages, hence new money. Lower interest rates increase the price of houses, but to a much lower extent the affordability of those houses - which is more likely to be measured on the monthly cost of a 30 year fixed loan. It will move the goalposts on down payments, however, but down payments are only 2-20% of the cost of the house.

In my opinion, however, I believe zoning to be a much bigger contributor to overall affordability.
Neither has Rick Snyder.
> Almost every Western country without fail requires dual incomes to afford a basic lifestyle

It will be remiss not to mention that America stands alone among western countries in not providing livable subsidies/incomes to recent parents, and expects them to be back in the workforce after a couple of weeks. The rest of the western world is far less aggressive in "forcing" women back to work.
The only default-deny rule for incoming traffic for general-purpose, up-to-date hosts should be the one built into the OS which rejects incoming connections to ports where nothing is listening. (If you enable UPnP, as most routers do by default, this is the policy you actually have in practice… just with more steps.)

If you can get around the firewall rules with something like STUN then those rules aren't really doing you much good, are they? By all means, put random IoT devices on a separate VLAN and block all incoming connections directed there (without UPnP). And be sure to block all the obvious workarounds like STUN for that VLAN or there's no point in having the firewall. But for PCs, smartphones, and the like it should be possible to connect to their open ports from outside the network using their public IP addresses without any tweaks at the router. These devices are perfectly capable of securing their own listening ports.

And you think discord users are a good sample of the population? It's absolutely not true that not everyone could just pick a skill like programming and work on it until they're employable, especially as many people need to start working as soon as possible to be able to survive.

If you had to work 50h/week plus 3-4h commute every day, how would you study programming exactly? If you didn't have access to a computer, how would you do it? If everyone around you made it seem like it's an activity out of your reach, how would you figure out it's not?

Putting pants on Django – Part 1
I don't generally mind chatbots, but I absolutely hate how they are often implemented.

I absolutely acknowledge the fact that they can be an Amazing tool to to help with first level support. However, many companies seem to use it as a substitute for human support interaction for any kind. Companies can perfectly go ahead and use Chatbots for their first level support, but please refrain from having the customer jump through 2000 burning hoops just to talk to a human when the chatbot isn't able to help.

As for intercom, it's true that most SaaS companies have them. I assume most use it as a tool to let even the most early stage sideproject seem like a legit business backed by a team. I understand that Intercom is simple to implement and seem promising, but as soon as intecom is pinging me first without any interaction with the widget I'm leaving the site
They don't introduce a fingerprinting risk if there's no permanent acceptance, only session based acceptance locked to the origin domain. And you're bashing WebXR? Without WebXR, we couldn't even have VR/AR displays work on the Web. The lack of WebXR would be hostile to any user who owns a VR headset these days.

So what, you want VR/AR to be centralized to app stores only, or to a Facebook metaverse? Because that's what's going to happen if there's no way to author and host your own VR software.

And most of the fingerprinting risk being used in the field hasn't even come from these newer APIs, but from much older APIs which surfaced versioning information or HW specific limits, or rasterization differences, without requiring any permission dialog. For example, canvas fingerprinting. Even plain old CSS could be used to detect previously visited links by styling a button and measuring it (before the bug was fixed) None of those were behind any kind of permisson dialog or container.

Can you provide an example of some ad network using WebUSB or WebSerial or Bluetooth in the wild?

Yes exactly. The only way to close gender gaps is to force men to do less work outside the home, not women more. (Men doing more work inside the home and women less follows from that more easily than in the other direction.)

Better childcare / pre-k can help too, but there musn't be a gap between when at least partial leave ends and childcare begins.
