Business should be fully aware that they are judged on the entire experience.

So, TJ's are fully responsible for the parking arrangement experience even though, as they say, they are just tenants and its their landlords who are imposing this. Those facts don't make up for the bad experience.

Its still TJ's fault and at that location they have bad parking. Its now up to them to fix their bad parking situation. If they can.

Others have pointed out the landlord could put in a turnstile and charge $1 per entry. Indirect methods, eg tracking apps, are the equivalent. Refer to the parking situation.
> The underlying insight is that rates matter. If a system can handle 100 events a second, then 99 events per second everything is fine and 101 events per second the system is down.

Not really. You need actual theory to inform you whether 99 events per second is okay. See https://www.johndcook.com/blog/2008/10/21/what-happens-when-...

If it's walkable, the car drivers have made their choice and can pay for it. If they don't like the price, they can walk instead. Or, use their cars to drive a few more miles to a grocery store with more agreeable parking. There are more than a dozen Trader Joe's in LA, surely one of them has agreeable parking terms. And that's not counting all the other grocery stores in town.

You should look up the specific Trader Joe's the article is talking about on google maps. It's smack in the middle of Hollywood, within walking distance of numerous businesses and tourist attractions. Expecting free parking in that neighborhood is completely unreasonable.
Thanks! Sometimes I spend too much time on this site :)
That's not logical. Our country isn't a monolith. Lots of us are fighting for change so stop acting like 330 million people are all the same would be a great start. Complaints are one point of contention. Currently most people don't care much about their privacy if they find out it will slightly inconvenience them to try out an alternative. Until they get burned or FAANG does something particularly aggregious they just don't care much.

Sorry I didn't link to an issue but a concern with duplicity is more about its implementation which needs incremental backups to depend on the base full backup
(that you would make the first time) which means if you want to prune that base backup later on, you need to take a new full backup for later incremental backups to depend on instead of taking continuous incremental backups indefinitely.

https://duplicity.gitlab.io/duplicity-web/vers8/duplicity.1....

> When restoring, duplicity applies patches in order, so deleting, for instance, a full backup set may make related incremental backup sets unusable.

Other software mentioned have each incremental backups independent of each others, so you can prune any of it and the last one is still retrievable.
There are so many public spaces that would benefit from more shade, where the cost of building that shade could be offset significantly by having solar panels on the top. I'm thinking about things like public parks, car parks, open-air malls, etc.

I am increasingly seeing this exact thing put into practice, but it kind of blows my mind that the uptake has been so slow.

Carbon capture and emissions reduction are like diet and exercise: you gotta do both. Yeah, if we keep emmitting at present rates, carbon capture is still going to be a very expensive way to stand still, but if you reduce emissions and you're only capturing the carbon from those sources which are hard to decarbonize, then it becomes a much more practical solution.

I feel likes that’s not exactly fair and quite a bit of editorial censorship considering it was the original article title. Almost to the point I would ask if any of the HN admins have stock positions in Trader Joe’s…

Trader Joe’s is subjecting their customers to this and should be held responsible if if it was through their landlord. They still are an accomplice to this data harvesting by the fact they have a business relationship with the company doing this.

Did you guys remove Facebook from the Cambridge Analytics scandal post? After “they” weren’t the ones doing right?
Looking at edge cases often is the best way to find and understand the boundaries of something, to more clearly define it by looking at edge cases and seeing where certain "core" attributes persist or disappear.
If the providers can't afford the ads, they can't afford to pay Apple a 30% commission. If, on the other hand, they can afford to pay Apple a 30% commission, then they can afford an ad spend up to 30% to direct potential subscribers to subscribe directly, avoiding the Apple commission.

Netflix decided they couldn't afford the 30% commission, so they don't offer subscriptions in-app. It's really as simple as that.
You can't blame these managers really, because what else are they good for? It's like being a software engineer while not allowed to write any code.

Dark patterns and raking in money is what these managers do and take pride in. The system we've created made that so.
They should still compare solar+farm, to covering the farm with canvas shade and having the solar panels elsewhere.
In some other country your thinking might be valid but here in the US our #1 problem is that we keep inventing expensive partial solutions that require more expensive partial solutions.

For instance we not only have a dazzling array of private health plans that may or may not accept you but we also have a large number of government plans and public-private insurance plans.

Someday we're going to realize that people still aren't covered under Obamacare and invent yet another new program. What I do know is that we'll never scrap something old or consolidate two programs into one.

We got to the moon by making a realistic plan to get all the way there and get all the way back. We didn't create a "public-private partnership" that would get the astronauts 80% of the way there and hope they'd be able to ride the bus back.

Any plan that serves a few people who are convenient to serve who aren't already served is just going to make the remaining unserved people harder to serve.

A realistic plan is that you can wrap an optic fiber around power lines and old-school power lines at relatively low cost.

It's a fairly big problem that industry focused on the west coast has a distorted idea of what you can do with radio. Several million people have a line-of-sight to the Hollywood sign. There are no "white spaces" in Southern California, instead you can tune in 100+ OTA channels. The "ring of fire" topography makes it easy to offer services.

The 2 meter ham band is crazy crowded in So Cal and has driven people into the 1.2 GHz band. Even in NYC the 2 meter band is pretty dead in comparison. San Francisco startups keep piling devices into the 2.4 GHz band instead of the 900 MhZ band. They think 900 MhZ is crowded (it is in San Jose) but in most of the country 900 Mhz is all dead air. In most of the country about 10% of the possible TV channels are used.
What do you mean? I'm not paying anything upfront for using a cc afaik. There are cards with yearly payments of course, but they tend to be marginal.
We can drastically reduce our usage of jets though. There is no reason why people should be flying between SF and LA, or NYC and Boston. Those are well within comfortable range of high speed rail, which is electric.

Once we’ve shifted all the excess air travel over to rail, that will leave a much smaller set of jet travel to offset.
If my share of the cost is insignificant, then car drivers shouldn't be too bent out of shape about me not having to pay it.
Developers are playing musical chairs
Better clarity on the "best scientific knowledge" is one area for improvement.
And trailing commas. And unquoted keys.
The trouble for FB is that best developers have free choice of where they are going to work.

Yes, when you need to pay your bills and FB is going to pay a shit ton of money, most people will rationalize, bend and accept FB's offer.

But when people have basically free choice of where they can work this is when most of them actually start paying attention to non-financial aspects of their decision.

FB's model requires them to be able to hire a lot of really good developers. It may take some time, but if they have trouble hiring really good developers they may start a vicious circle with end result that they will be open to being caught by competition.
I don't think I'm capable of actual introspection or self-awareness during a dream; I feel and experience certain things but IMHO I can apply my consciousness to these things to properly notice anything about them only afterwards when I wake up.

I.e. the question "does that dream feel real" is only answerable when I have woken up and interpret my recent memories of that dream, which can easily be post-factum rationalization that has nothing to do with what I actually felt back when I was dreaming.

Best Practices and Tips for Writing a Dockerfile
Great write up! Using learned representations for content in personal knowledge bases seems like a huge missing piece of tools like Roam. This appears to go all the way to the other side of the spectrum, not supporting any explicit graph links, IIUC.

I feel like ultimately you want both. Explicit links are a useful navigation affordance with nice properties that spatial embeddings won't give you (e.g. you can explicitly establish a link between things that are not similar according to the embedding space).

More important than that though, explicit links let you train the embedding model to understand the dataset the way the user does. All of these embedding models are trained on graphs (word or sentence cooccurence graphs, parent/child comment graphs on social media, etc.). The graph structure in something like Roam can provide training data for updating and adapting the embedding space to the specific knowledge context in which it's used.

Conversely, if you have an embedding representation of your knowledge base, you can use that to suggest explicit links. The embedding space is the dense dual to the sparse graph of explicit links in something like Roam. It's a fully connected weighted graph rather than a sparse unweighted graph.

Maybe this system is meant to only focus on the spatial embedding representation. That makes a lot of sense. A fully-fledged version of this vision though IMO should include a bridge between these two dual representations.
Cool! I didn't know it was more widespread. I suppose the innovation here is that the actress and her double are twin sisters.
Yesterday there was some discussion of "Project Bernanke", so-called "quantitative easing" for DoubleClick's AdX. One could see similarities.

Here, Apple is helping certain "preferred" iOS app developers win against other iOS app developers. Apple stands to profit, the preferred developers stand to profit, but not other developers (and possibly users who will never discover their apps).

There, Google was helping Google Ads users, i.e., "preferred" DoubleClick AdX auction participants, to win against other participants in AdX auctions. Google profits (and brags about it in its internal presentations), Google Ad users may profit, but not the users of Google Ad alternatives.

Big Tech wants to facilitate "winner-take-all" scenarios. Healthy competition and parity amongst competitors (for user attention) reduces the profitability of the "tech" company business model. Big Tech would rather that user attention only be focused on what is most popular, creating more desirability to advertise to that single audience. A "Top 20" mobile app list, or top of page 1 of SERPs.

Concentration of web traffic, 80/20, network effects, and so on. Winner-take-all. The most ideal conditions for selling apps or ad services. The issue is not that they are doing this, it is in how are they doing it. They run and control the so-called "platforms" for advertising and sales and use that privileged position to manipulate outcomes that favour themselves. (And stifle competitors.)

Not “used to be” unfortunately. American banks took in somewhere between $9-15 billion (depending on source) in overdraft fees in 2020. It’s super gross.
It's possible to have document start and end markers in yaml:

---

Your application can mandate usage of these. But yeah, not ideal.
Interesting! In this case, was it used to avoid showing the camera?
I quite like that you no longer have to enclose all your C# code in a namespace { } block. Removes an admittedly minor aesthetic niggle about the language for me. It’s a bit more like Java now[1].

namespace X.Y.Z;

using System;

class X {

// ....

}

Now I wonder if the Java folk will (in a similar vein) someday drop the com/foo/myapp/Main.java requirement for a public com.foo.myapp.Main class.

The article brings up the massive amount of immigrants Russia is pushing at Poland through Belarus, but says that is believed to be unrelated. Well it wouldn't be so unrelated if either those migrants get the idea to flee back toward Russia, or if Poland decided to push into Belarus, however unlikely that may be.
I mean, that filter had its benefits, but it is also a really bad filter in many ways. Plenty of people who are smart enough to set up Trumpet Winsock also took that to mean they knew everything, and at the same time, some of the greatest minds of the last generation struggle with email.

I think more than the setup filter, the filter of having people learn what it takes to host their own content on the Internet is actually quite a bit worse. Since not only do we lose the quality bar, but it also has led to centralization.

Exactly what I think about the matter. Sometimes I use proprietary binary formats together with UDP where performance is critical (game servers for example).
TOML can handle nested data at the application level by using entity reference token semantics.

It does need an XPath traversal and search query format for application use and data references.
There's libraries that let you define a schema programmatically, and then infer the types.

There was certainly a period when having Japanese-made cars in an American car manufacturer's parking lot was an invitation to (however much I disapprove) have your car smashed up.

But in more modern times, there's certainly a general expectation to use your employer's products when it's reasonable to do so even if they're not your preferred options. There are exceptions of course and tech companies are usually more flexible these days.

Write to advance your career, but not for the reasons or how you might think. You’re not going to be a tech celebrity. You’re probably barely gonna get noticed.

But you can get noticed by the people in your immediate orbit.

Need to communicate an idea to a colleague? Write a blog article instead of an email.

This helps you in a couple of ways:

It polishes your English.

It polishes your thinking, and ensures you filled in the gaps in your thinking.

It creates a (more) durable asset than email/slack.

It impresses your colleagues and boss who may begin to perceive you as more valuable for having a public presence.

It would be nice if YAML wasn't horrendously abused the way it is. You have CI pipelines that let you construct DAGs to represent your builds, but you need several thousand lines of YAML and a load of custom parsing to get programming constructs in the string types, for example. And then each provider has its own way of providing those.

I don't have to re-read manuals describing how to do if/else in Ruby or Java or Lisp, but as soon as yaml and some 'devops' tooling is involved, I have to constantly jump back and forth between the reference and my config.

The main point being that the problem isn't the file format but the products that continue to push it, presumably because hacking stuff on top of `YAML.parse` is less effort than designing something that fits the purpose.
Actually it is. I’ve seen it.
Half is still a lot more than zero, which in turn is still not the negative you need to actually reduce the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. Carbon capture is the only option to undo the damage that's already been done, and to sustainably continue the activities where CO2 emissions are fundamentally unavoidable.
I worked at IBM in earlier days, and a couple of the Research people in the data storage group at Almaden and Poughkeepsie gave some great lectures and made excellent tools for modeling cache disk storage array performance that were based heavily on queue theory. This brings back great memories, thanks!
The main reason for multi-GPUs decline is that single GPU performance has grown much faster than both CPUs and RAM speeds.

Going multi-GPU on a high-end GPU today lets you run a AAA game at 4K with all the eye candy at 150 fps rather than 110 fps, i.e. visually undistinguishable. And at the low end, it's always better performance per dollar to buy a single higher-end card.

Of course this is all orthogonal to your point of PCIe switches. Anyone thinking about multi-GPU will buy a motherboard with at least 2 PCIe 4.0 x16 slots anyway, no switches required. You can even get motherboards with 2 PCIe 5.0 x16 slots without breaking the bank.
There are lots of them. Here are two:

Three Hour Interview with Neal Stephensen by Lex Fridman
> Demand for energy is largely inelastic, so costs are easy to pass on

Demand for energy is inelastic, but demand for O&G in the long term is less so because over time a higher price for O&G will push investment into alternatives.
Selecting a programming language can be a form of premature optimization
Yes, most startling was Intel iGPU drivers not installing, as well as AMD GPU drivers not installing for non-enterprise cards. Then people have mentioned wireless and bluetooth typically being nonfunctional. Your touchpad may not work if it is I2C or if the PS2 bridge is USB. You may also be unable to get computer peripherals to work if they are not designed to be driverless.

I suspect power management is also poor.
This seems appropriate to me and the contracts actually seem better than I expected. Had the states wanted to roll out their own digital id programs, they would need to pay for the design and infrastructure that Apple created.

I think it’s also just using wallet so the expenses of creating the item and distributing it on the state issuing the ids. Just like the ticket vendor is responsible for the costs of getting the ticket into wallet.

Although that cost seems low.

It’s surprising that the verge’s reporting is so unaware and oblivious to the
realities of the situation. It seems more like uninformed/incompetent writer than just apple negativity.
