While it may impact GDP, it may not impact productive output. Less stuff will be consumed for the same output. There will be impacts on how money is shuffled around; fossil fuel profits flow from fossil fuel share holders to CCS companies, fossil fuel workers will be displaced by CCS industry workers.

As renewables come online at cost parity, they will displace fossil fuel usage. That will cause a dramatic decline in fossil fuel price as oversupply becomes a constant problem. So people buying fossil fuel will be spending less for the same result.

Now, one might make the following observation; we've taken fossil fuel profits away and consumed them immediately rather then re-investing them (what capital owners typically do). This means less investment and thus growth. Frankly, I find the hypothesis not so compelling. There is little evidence that capital is the bottleneck in Capex spending. My view is the world suffers from too few good ideas chased by even fewer people/organizations and under the constraints of bumbling governments.

GDP issue aside, at 100$/ton this only adds 1$/gallon to the price of gas and 0.50$/therm to the price of natural gas. That's definitely absorbable by the declines that will happen from oversupply.

To me the article makes perfect sense. They tell what Vizio does and explain why this is so, and why this is even expected behaviour in capitalism. They also list countless other companies that do the same. After all, it's all about incentives... In this case it is money, but it could be paperclips just the same.

You say that, but through brute force they managed to have camera movement + CGI in (only?) this scene:

But yes, obviously they could not have done the bullet stuff with CGI.
> particularly notable is that the biggest 10% of farms take 90% of the subsidy

This is the real problem.

I wish somebody would come up with a simple mechanism to stop all subsidies to companies over a certain size. Yes, it will be gamed, but it's still better than the outright crony-capitalism we have today.

If you believe Google blocked Firefox for competitive reasons, how would you explain

- The Google engineer's explanation (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8495498) - do you think he was just plain lying?

- The Firefox performance bug he mentioned (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1087963). Do you think Google engineers went out of their way to search for new performance bugs in Firefox, then figure out how to introduce those bugs in Inbox's code?

- If Google wanted to use Inbox support to hurt competitors, why would they invest engineering resources in making an Inbox app for iOS? Considering that Android vs iOS competition has much more impact on Google's business than Chrome vs Firefox competition (e.g. see how much Google pays to be the default iOS search provider).
There are other massive bills in the pipeline and also next year's legislative session.

Yeah, I think I need to tweak the snap distance a bit further. Sometimes pieces snap together unintentionally while dragging across the canvas, which surprises users.

Would you be able to clarify the second point? You can drag groups of pieces to connect to other groups. But I have a feeling you're talking about something slightly different.

Very interesting piece of information from one of the wiki links: apple will only allow one fingerprint to be associated with drivers license info, to tie the driver's license to only one person and not everyone who may have device access through their fingerprints:

- The group is accused of falsifying log records afterwards.
You see this quite a lot. There does come a point where adding more solar … when a certain percentage of your production is already solar … there comes a point where more solar is a whole lot more expensive and less reasonable.

But that’s really more of a “80% of our power is solar” problem and the US isn’t even at 3%. The percentage of usage which could be handled by solar is usually far underestimated.

We don’t need to care about limitations of solar for a long long time.
For the longest time I used to "email to self" interesting stories for reading (through the comments) later.

Then I created tinygem.org [1] to automate this process with a browser bookmarklet. Now I had a place to send stories I want to read later.

Finally I added auto-discovery based on my saved links, because a lot of interesting content gets lost in HN New, Reddit and other places that I simply do not have time to check daily.

They (FB and the news media) do indeed.
Since no one mentioned so far:
The LOD law suit made FB unable to get any approved green card app since last few months of Trump.
This is the top reason why Indians & Chinese are not taking FB roles.
It has been recently resolved. If hiring gets better for them I'd attribute it to green cards than the rename.

Come on you guys. Grandiose invocation of Nazis in contemporary arguments is literally the ultimate flamebait cliché. This isn't hard!

Since everybody knows that, nowadays the argument is "yes but my grandiose invocation of Nazis is the real one, the one that civilization fails to heed at its peril". We heard that for a certain 4 years all going in one direction and now the people who didn't like that use the same rhetoric to bolster their notion of civilizational collapse. This is one more way in which ideological battlers of opposing sides resemble each other more than they resemble anyone else. Hacker News is intended more for users who can make do without Nazis in their arguments.

In any case, all the priors are so against it working that you're better off without them anyhow. Nazis don't strengthen your case. All they do is rev up people who agree with you and piss off people who don't—the hallmark of flamebait. There's no persuasive there there.
The prime minster stepped down, but his second is taking over, and she's been more or less as involved as him during all this. Lots of other political aspects (and probably soon private ones) surely did factor in the timing.

Regarding the guy responsible for the health authorities. He looks quite old so it makes sense for him to retire, especially after a significant very special "project" is "done". Tegnell's wife (who's also been a public face during the pandemic) is taking over. Doesn't look too me like they're trying to start over.

No opposition: Really? There's been plenty in the news about the handling of the pandemic. TNT seems completely out of touch with reality. Could there be an alternative explanation why there's no uprising? Maybe people in Sweden in general isn't super dissatisfied (in general) with the outcome? I think it's clear even just from this thread that the view on how Sweden had handled the situation is mixed/unclear.

As for your last statement. There's a lot of difference in quality in the numbers from all countries more or less.

I'm a Swede with a relative who worked at "Folkhälsomyndigheten" during the pandemic who have also heard from other sources how these numbers/stats are collected in various countries.

PS. I'm not saying Swedens strategy was right or wrong. I'd say we need to wait and see what actual science has to say after we're all done with this. Instead of seeing random things as signs and thinking it's all a conspiracy.

This is amazing! Does anyone know if KVM hardware virt works on EC2 / ECS / Lambda / other cloud or VPS vendors?

Also, does anyone know which versions of Windows have restrictions on where you can run it? IIRC, recent versions stipulate you can't just run your own copy of it virtualized without an approved hardware vendor? Or maybe I'm crazy. I know with MacOS the EULA states you can't run it on anything but Apple hardware (thanks, Apple).

If only their EULAs weren't so restrictive, it would be easy to spin up a build+test cluster for your apps for all platforms. Sucks that developing cross-platform is now legally/financially more troublesome than it is technically.
> Loads of people become nurses and teachers because they want to help people, even though they don't get paid much

I know it's not the primary point of the post, but define "much". An RN makes around 80k on average, they're also hourly and can generally pick up overtime whenever they want. Nurse anesthetists make double that at minimum, practitioners are north of 120k. It may not be as much as a FAANG position but I'd consider that decent pay, especially for such a stable position with decent WLB(omitting pandemic). Up until the past few years RN only required a 2 year degree.

Teachers don't make as much, but average pay in my lower cost of living area, just crossed 60k. That's not terrible, especially considering they only work 9/12 months and can get more for summer school or many of them find side jobs.

One issue with solar is where we put it all. If it turns out that a meaningful portion of farmland has an excess of solar energy, that takes a big bite out of the problem. Powering the US entirely on solar might take a land mass equivalent to 2% of the country... Only a small portion of the 40% of US land area used as farmland.

I don't think fusion is coming soon enough to be part of the plans for Climate Change. People working on fusion reactors have been misleading the public about progress. They have been using a "Q" value (energy in versus energy out) to describe some internal process rather than the entire process. So when they say something like "67% efficiency" they really meant "1% efficiency."

> And a lot of people knows this. So for the past few years it turns out plenty of people are willing to sell their watching habits for a cheaper TV.

Because every TV has all the ways it spies on you listed as prominently as the price? And there's a near identical model for sale next to it, without the spying-enabled discounts?

Framing this as consumer choice implies consumers were informed and given a choice, but they were neither.
I once had a coworker I didn't know very well say something like "I noticed you seemed a little off during the last meeting, is everything alright?". I'm sure they meant well, but the comment was jarring and invasive. It felt like on top of everything else going on at the time, I needed to exhaust more effort worrying about how I appear on camera.
It obviously doesn't and they never claimed that it did. The point is that it's cheaper on the margin to stop polluting than it is to keep polluting and then clean it up afterwards.

Yup. This exact thing pretty much lead me to a network admin job during college. I had friends that got hired as admins in high school, by the high school, and I was super jealous. The pay sucked but it was a humble start to my career in tech.

I'm not an expert, but it's not obvious that the camera angle actually changes (as opposed to postprocess movement) in the one shot where the camera actually moves.

This one was probably much more effort:
https://youtu.be/6z9qws7M8q8?t=275

You're not contradicting the parent comment though. It's not obvious that they had tracking back then. I wouldn't be surprised if they did it all manually, frame by frame.

I'd say not a chance in hell they'd be able to do a good job in 1992 doing effects on a running Robert Patrick while the camera is on a vehicle.

It was cutting edge back then, but not that cutting edge.

Is the alternative Apple controlling all of these peoples’ identification information? That would be way, way worse, than states having to host their own citizen’s information.
This is because numbers are automatically converted to strings. This makes many things easier.
I'd say it's more likely that the adblock model will persist into other forms (proxies, anonymizers, etc), and you'll see a rehash of the early 2000s Tivo lawsuits in which someone like Vizio claims that it is unlawful to stop the camera on the TV from surveilling your living room.
Seems like if you just wanted the side shot and not the straight on shot as well, you could of just pulled the helicopter on a low trailer using the median partition to block. The straight on shot would of required deleting the trailer which may have been difficult but certainly would look better than any CGI attempt
Yet Jurassic Park was just two years later and combined CGI with moving cameras in some scenes.

It could also have been achieved without camera tracking by painstakingly rotoscoping the effect into each frame by hand, which I guess would also count as "CGI".
I've seen SmartTVs pop up with "Watch your stream on Service X" after ID'ing the content (presumably from fingerprinting the image or sound) coming in from HDMI. A smart TV I had kept offline for a few years to prevent this that someone "helpfully" attached to WiFi.
Like most things, the final answer is probably a mix of everything.
I think it is moral and ethical (and is and should remain legal) for professional adults to voluntarily consent to risking their lives in exchange for payment.

It's not really anyone's place to dictate someone else's risk appetite. Stuntmen and Stuntwomen know what they are signing up for. They are the ones choosing to risk their own lives, not anyone else.

Some people really love doing crazy shit and making wild art. I still quote Terminator 2 decades later; it is epic art regardless of whether you personally like it or not.

Cranking out more solar panels is easy. Actually making the grids larger or have more storage requires the type of planning competence and cordination we suck at.

Solar panels are popular precisely because they don't require that planning competence and coordination. So if we go full solar wind, we will slam into a wall we are utterly unprepared for, despite, yes, getting better at solar and wind themselves with volume.
Renters and buyers are increasingly in the same boat - the one where people with money in the bank are finding there's nowhere to live.

In the case of renters, many with savings are facing homelessness - once those savings are burned up on hotels. This isn't a dramatization or overstatement. It's what I'm witnessing personally and very nearly happened to us. We were one of the few to beat long odds and score a place to live.

That part was talking about the traditional ground effect. There isn't much study about what happens when you have a ceiling over a helicopter because that doesn't happen very often in real life. Note the discussion of the air flowing off of the blades.

I was thinking more of the low pressure zone above the helicopter being disrupted by the overpass. Apparently it wasn't too bad since the pilot managed the stunt twice without injury, but it's a possibility that would have had me crapping diamonds if I were asked to pull it off.

I'm fairly sure the people doing these stunts do them because they love doing them, not because they are being forced to perform them. If people want to risk their lives for a few seconds of film, why stop them? People are into all kind of weird stuff, as long as they don't hurt others, I don't see what the problem is.
Good points! With my websocket test I'm currently experimenting with syncing micro actions rather than syncing the full puzzle state every time a user makes a move.

Lovely corporate ethics. I posted this in our company slack room as an example of how not to act for bizdev

Google benefits too much from this sort of arrangement to have any incentive to stop it, even though these are unauthorized advertisements that are specifically against Google's AdWords TOS (side note, I wonder if there is a legal avenue to follow when a vendor doesn't follow their own TOS? An interesting thought...).

This is also a recurring issue with all of Google's advertising revenue -- malicious behavior such as fraudulent clicks, unauthorized ads, etc., are a decent portion of the revenue stream, and Google is financially incentivized to keep these sorts of abuse going until the ruse is up and the accuracy of their system is called into question publicly in a way that scares away advertisers, but with NDAs and corporate secrecy, it is far too easy to keep things unbalanced, and keep abuse like this in the dark.

Business models like this demonstrate just how dire the need for regulation is in some areas of the tech world, particularly among FANG.
