Yeah, similarly in the UK we have a 'standing charge' (£/day) in addition to the 'unit charge' (£/kWh) - same provider though.

And I can't see why it wouldn't tie up with the reality of the costs. (Competitive downward pressure, and no silly anti-competitive cap as there is on variable £/kWh pricing.) From memory mine's about £6-7pcm.
You might be correct, but what we have now is an effectively subsidized system.

If it is properly regulated / priced to account for externalities (I would like some conservative regulation to make up for the unaccountable/unknown externalities, perhaps protectionism could function in that manner), then it would likely properly account for environmental concerns.

My top comment of course didn't even deal with the "environmental arbitrage" that international shipping represents. You make stuff where there isn't as much regulation/price accounting for externalities, THEN you ship it 5000 miles.

It used to be this amounted to simply getting to offload localized pollution on the third world, and the first world gets the benefits. You know like this:

If you want a good, modern "Web3" example of this, hm, why is Mongolia a new bitcoin mining hub?
My feeling is that mood-souring is universal, if unevenly distributed, across all communities. Part of it is lockdown, part is growing political divisions, and so on.

It's interesting that this post hits the front page on the same day that Facebook announces (admits to?) its first user drop. Everyone is just getting sick of being social online. From here on out, content is king.

In 10 years we'll look at the Facebook news feed as being the necessary intermediate step between Web 2.0 and whatever TikTok becomes.

Had to look up `district heating` ... that's a not a common thing in the US.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_heating
Simplicity also means less time in the shop when needed too, they usually charge by the hour. Also in the 80s I could totally see that. On the side of the road, hood up fix it right there. Remember they probably had CB radio which is limited range, no phone and the closest town is 50 miles behind you.

Also depending on the job it can make very good economic sense to DIY. My brother in law just had to fix something on his car. They quoted him 2500. He fixed it himself for about the cost of some used parts (80 bucks) and a half day of his time. Trucks are no different.
Well, at least in my case there was some hope that it would set a floor for internet service in larger towns where the local cable/telco monopoly just milks the customers for $100+ a month for really subpar internet service (I pay about that for 20Mbit upload from the cable co, the DSL provider can barely do 2 up 40 mbits down for roughly the same price). Where as a couple miles away the DSL provider strung fiber to compete with google and the price is less than they would charge me for said crummy internet.

The joke here is that the lucky few percent of people who can get fiber here have two choices, but the rest of us are stuck in the 1990s. And this is a dense area, far more dense than 100 miles W of here in the little towns of population 1k that can also get fiber from their local telco co-op.

Please don't confuse negativity with incivility. I'm also noticing a lot more comments that wouldn't look out of place on a Wikipedia talk page for some controversial topic; i.e. not directly insulting, but dripping with scorn and just barely toeing the line of not being flag bait.
Xbox et al is ~$17b/year in revenue. Meta's VR was ~$2bn last year.

I'm shocked it's that high, but, honestly, for an early effort, that's pretty competitive. If I'm reading Microsoft's 2005 annual report right, Home & Entertainment revenue was $3bn in 2005.

I still don't think VR is going to supplant console gaming, but console gaming is a big business--Xbox-level revenue would be a 15% increase in total revenue for Meta.

I also don't think Zuck's stated aspirations are a +15% boost in revenue by becoming a successful competitor in the gaming market, which is why it's so easy to criticize the insanely overstated goals of the "metaverse."

Vegan replacements work slightly differently. I think tips on how to substitute from brands and chefs are what's important to build trust in using these alternatives in recipes. We are working on introducing chef tips, will also try including tips from brands themselves.
Actually, I think the irony is the other way around. I've read that worldwide, MB vehicles dominate many markets (e.g. African taxi and trucking) precisely because they are so easy to do local non-dealer maintainance on. Most of the world thinks of many MB vehicles as workhorses, not luxury or sophisticated vehicles.

Can someone please retitle this to "Building a multi-million dollar mansion in the woods"? "Modern home" makes it sound quaint and interesting. Instead this is just someone throwing a lot of money at a giant dwelling.

Driving around double-trailers in Indiana always made me anxious

A bunch of American states permit triple trailers. Each individual trailer is a little shorter, but seeing all three going around a corner is a bit unnerving. Especially if they're heavy-load trailers that haul stuff like gravel or ore, because those are much longer to spread the weight out.
I follow Starlink's IP space and connectivity closely, if anyone is interested, see this: https://old.reddit.com/r/StarlinkEngineering/comments/ofly6k...
Yea, I've got family members who personally would do it with generators and window air conditioners.

They'd take a trailer with them when evacuating, and load it up with everything they could find locally in stock before returning home.

Now, they might do it as a favor for friends, but they make sure they've got each one claimed before purchasing. Whereas before, a profit margin made speculative buying worthwhile, and would cover expenses without worrying about having to sell 100%.
there is an interesting item in this:

“...researchers grew neurons from stem cells derived from AD patients. Exposing the cells to sildenafil led to increased growth of neurites, which connect neurons to each other...”

So although Viagra might help protect against Alzheimer’s, this also sounds like a way to renovate the nervous system and repair degeneration and injury.

I’ve already noticed I have more interest in reading and other intellectual pursuits when under the influence of sildenafil, and I theorized it was the improved blood flow affecting the brain, as in a rising tide lifts all boats...I asked my doctor for an extra-large prescription but I didn’t say exactly why. Eager to find out how this research works out.
You're just not a bookmark user. Many people are, and Chrome is a much worse browser for those people than, say, Firefox where you can display a persistent bookmarks column. I have a folder with a couple dozen bookmarks of webcomics I read. I have a bookmarks folder with studies and papers regarding points of contentious online discussion I can reference without relying on Google. I have a folder of blogs I enjoy. I have a folder of bookmarks for various projects I find interesting, and every couple of weekends I pick one and give it my best shot. I have a folder of reference pages and sales pages for my project car.

in practice you won't use most of them

No, you won't use most of them. Because you're not a bookmarks user.
Not a medical guy but ipilimumab and friends may help do that. They blockade ctla-4 which downregulates cd4 activity. A combination may result in enhanced results.
Exactly. You see "both sides" using the exact same rhetoric--"My side is obviously right and X people agree. This other side is hopeless." This then quickly and naturally devolves into authoritarian feelings, proposals, and anger. I think people who participate in such arguments fail to see how history is replete with examples of how this type of angry spirit leads to nothing but war, subjugation, and death. In other words, it's an egotistical expression that lacks historical wisdom.

The Index has plenty of VR titles; there’s a whole VR section in steam with all the standard ones (there really aren’t that many native VR games, maybe a hundred give or take), Half Life: Alyx, Serious Sam VR, etc.

My favorite VR experience was actually a game that wasn’t designed for VR but sort of serendipitously worked extremely well (Elite: Dangerous). Space dogfights in VR are incredible and super-immersive. It still gave me a headache after a bit of playtime but I usually pushed through until my ship was out of ammo and I needed to reload.

But after playing E:D in VR, most VR native games like Space Pirate Simulator, Beat Saber or Superhot VR just feel like shallow toys. E:D is closer to an immersive experience than any of them; I actively wanted to stay in VR longer but my eyes would not let me.

> I don't get what you meant here.

I meant that it’s hard to simultaneously perform VR and non-VR activities (or switch back and forth between them quickly).
Dynamic SVG for Wikimedia Projects (2017)
I've tried it a few times.

I wanted to use it a couple days ago to help me understand how a bad state could be reached in a program I was debugging, but found out the tla toolbox no longer starts because it depends on something that's changed in the current java environment (anyone remember write once run anywhere? it was always a lie). I don't have the patience to fight more tools than I absolutely have to.

I guess that's my biggest obstacle to using TLA+. I would likely use it if I could just install it from my distro's package manager and have a single clean binary that can be invoked from the command line like a compiler, passing it the path to my model. I find the java gui ux to be repulsive.
It doesn't have "no" braking. But it has a hell of a lot less than it would if there were some restriction on it, e.g. a throttle.
> This doesn't seem like an absurd amount of money to have power when your system inevitably goes down for a time.

It's an incredibly low amount of money to have 24x7x365 reliable power. The alternative (off-grid systems) cost tens-to-hundreds of thousands of dollars. $10/m is nothing, and is arguably too low. The solution should be to charge all customers a higher fixed monthly charge for grid access and distribution, and then charge less for the power consumed.

> because the math co-processor was deactivated on the same chip

I don't know if this is true of your specific example but modern CPUs SKUs that are differentiated by core count do the same thing except they disable those extra cores because they are faulty but will disable a working core to make a quota.
Depending on where you live, there might be on-going fees (regular medical, psychological exams, etc, paid by the license holder). This kind of license is assumed to be used for revenue generation, so the fees are not supposed to be a problem.

iPhones are great hardware, sold far above cost, that are very much mainstream and changed the shape of the entire product field.

Apple's VR doesn't have to compete with the Quest on price if their product is that much better. Which, hey - it's Apple. They might be able to pull that off.

> Whether or not you should be "forced" to take it should be based on risk to others in the situation that it is being forced, just like you are "forced" to not speed while driving on a public highway.

I really wish people would stop using this analogy. Driving is a privilege not a right, and you earn that privilege by following the rules.

Living without compulsory medical procedures is a right, not a privilege, so it's the complete opposite case. You need a better analogy.
In my 30s and 40's I could drive 14-16hrs a day without a problem, in a stick-shift car, in the USA. In my 50s, 10hrs is still reasonably OK.

However, a 4 or 5 hour drive on roads in the UK in an automatic modern car and I am completely exhausted.

At least for some of us, the road conditions are a far larger impact than the features of the vehicle.
It’s not inflation. It’s literal money paid out via the government paying interest on its debt obligations (which were higher as a result of the bailout money than they otherwise would have been).

I agree that they should have done what they did. I do not agree that it was net profitable.
Arm does have an advantage with a looser memory model, which makes it easier to get good bandwidth. Graviton2 and Ampere Altra tend to have more cores than common x86-64 servers (64-128), which helps as well.

90% is more than I'd expect though, can you post the numbers and which code you used? Enough to replicate (compiler, compiler flags, code, etc).

I've tracked down lower than expected numbers before, there's many causes. Compilers (temporal vs non-temporal), GCC vs Intel vs Other compilers, surprisingly large differences because of using new or malloc instead of static arrays, having two Dimms per channel (lowering the speed to DDR4-2666), various BIOS settings including a NUMA disable that stripes across all channels that apparently makes some windows codes run better. In a surprising number of cases just having dimms in the wrong slots will do it.

The fact that I can find articles discussing T-cell response all the way through the pandemic with a simple Google search seems to indicate that people were talking about it.

Never SSL
As a serious answer:

Because you don't employ people. From a taxation perspective it's much better to have companies running on quite low margins that allows them to keep existing. It's why some companies get subsidies so even though they are barely profitable, their employees, the voters, can stay happy.

Netflix will have X engineers at +$300k/year paying taxes, injects money in the TV/movie industry with their productions and is overall a positive for the economy.

Additionally:

> Why do I as an individual not get any of these benefits? Why can't I deduct the depreciation of my assets on my personal taxes? Why can't I change the way I pay for goods to avoid paying taxes?

While I don't know where you live or your financial situation, there are probably a ton of benefits/tax credits that you do in fact get to incentivize a specific behaviour (think retirement account, tax-free saving accounts, etc...)
Highest Nobel prize per capita. Has an advanced military intelligence arm and released soldiers are great employees for the IT security sector. These two combined create a strong cyber security presence.

Regardless, I don't know what regulations you refer to when the US and China lead the charge on actively spying on the entire world. The US drags down with it many western countries. Which is how the "5 eyes" was created. And no one bats an eyelash.

After the US was exposed for what the NSA did against its allies, no one was persecuted and the Senate was powerless to do anything. All inquires were met with "classified". So, at best, the propaganda over there convinced one person that there are regulations restraining military intelligence and the CIA.

I've been a lurker on HN for about a decade. This is literally the first comment that I have posted.

Part of the reason is: while I am thoughtful, reasonably well-informed individual, I never felt up to the task of putting in enough effort to create an HN-worthy comment. This was inspired almost entirely by the _quality_ of the kinds of comments that I saw over the years -- at least for the kinds of posts that drew my attention.

- Many (most?) of the comments were made by experts
- They often included disclaimers, especially when the poster considered themselves an amateur
- They often included sources and links
- They were conspicuously respectful and humane
- Meta-comments were productive, and typically stopped propagation of nastiness before it could take root

Often enough, comments would truly enrich the original post, and I was truly grateful for them.

This was a stark contrast with the subreddits that I frequented. (I gave up on reddit a few years when they changed the default format to be more attention-greedy.)

From what I've seen, HN has become increasingly noisy -- at times, it's angry -- but overall, it just feels loud and crowded.

For that reason, I've basically stopped reading comments at all, even if there is high-quality content in there. It is a damn shame.
For some context:

"The flag of Mississippi features a white magnolia blossom surrounded by the words "In God We Trust" and 21 stars, on a red field with a gold-bordered blue pale. It was adopted on January 11, 2021 and replaced the previous flag that displayed the Confederate battle insignia in the upper left hand corner, which had been retired on June 30, 2020."

I've done what feels like engine braking in "consumer" diesel trucks. Since I never had to flip switches or anything, how does the engine know how to enter into this "engine braking" mode?

Never even crossed my mind that diesels don't natively engine brake. Then again how diesels work is a bit of a mystery to me... mostly because I never bothered to look into it much.
It's a thing in the US. If you're ever walking around Manhattan and see steam coming out of a traffic cone, that's the side effect of district heating (groundwater hitting the very hot steam pipes and vaporizing).
Interesting. Would love to include feedback from users into the recommendations based on recipe types.
The fuel system doesn't provide restriction on the air going through the engine.

A diesel engine that's not dumping in fuel (because your foot isn't on the pedal) has about as much engine braking as a gas engine that's run out of fuel but the operator has floored the pedal.

A gas engine has a throttle that can restrict airflow. A diesel can either be equipped with an exhaust brake or compression brake. The latter is tons more effective but louder.
Those numbers are actually really close to reality for some of the electrical vehicle rates, which go down as low as $0.21 for off peak, around $0.40 for part-peak, and $0.53 for full peak. Other TOU rate plans only go as low as $0.31 during some seasons, and peak in the mid 40 cent range.
