If you read all the books covering the history of the deregulation of the regulated electric industry in the US, their reasoning was clear. Many years ago, under regulation (and still for those areas of the US that aren't in a market), it was the job of planners to determine the load growth and to build enough supply to meet demand and get a steady ROR. We did really bad at this in (I think it was the 80s), so there was a lot of pushback in making customers pay for generation they didn't need. At the same time, combined cycle plants made it possible to finally de-monopolize the generation side of things. The theory was the free market would be more innovative than the regulated utilities and less wasteful.
I think its a fair question. Handing out unlimited well water rights in the 1860s was also probably seen as not giving away anything. There's plenty of water.
Good problem but yeah, I wouldn't engage with non partners.
I would say that my experiences have always been on the psychedelic bent. I used to “see around” objects and peoples faces would change on TV when I was a kid.

HTR2A is a big one for me. I have the homozygous minor alleles in rs594242 and rs582385 both having been studied and linked to mood outcomes.

But the other key factor is glutamate which leads to the ego dissolution. This could be from my GRiN2B receptors. (NMDA) where I have several very low frequency polymorphisms.

It’s speaking of serotonin my TAAR6 gene is so whacked. And they found it in my set lease it led to hire serotonin levels in the brain.

I’ve only had one or two times where I had hallucinations and not visions. But I know I have dopamine issues as well because I just can’t break down the amino acids that help make all the catecholamines.
That was a minor event to everybody else. I checked the PJM power grid alerts, and they didn't issue a geomagnetic disturbance warning. Their last warning was on 11.04.2021, and it didn't reach a level that affected operations.
I wonder if Spring has caused more wasted time, configuring its grandiosity, than it has saved people, and I say that because I don't know the answer.

Also, for some reason I always assumed the Challenger Deep was in the mid Atlantic Ocean. It’s not, it’s a few hundred miles southwest of Guam in the Pacific Ocean.
In case freelancing counts, let me give a shoutout to Tribe.AI. I no longer work there but my buddy is a cofounder and I hold them in high regard. Essentially, it's a collective for top ML/Data focused people to get together to collaborate on projects, remote by default and people all over the world (but they also do events both online and in person which is nice if you're looking for a community to be a part of). If you're also looking for an alternative to hanging out your own shingle as a consultant this is a way to get projects.
> he said he did it many times and would do it again?

Based on the videos I’m seeing of FSD in action, I have my doubts. Wouldn’t be surprised if this was a publicity stunt. Elon Musk has a very loose relationship with ethics and the truth. They’re just obstacles for him.
I work in professional open source, I find it fulfilling.

It's funny, I read this question and thought back to my time working for the government (military). One thing I really hated about it was the waste-- especially watching money being spent just to ensure the budget grew annually. I like the efficiency of the private sector.

Well that's not good.

From what I could tell back then, 'I' was the most likely to cause problems. B and C seemed to be relatively well tolerated, though not trouble-free.
Congrats on the launch! What are the main benefits of this approach compared to creating additional combo (multi-leg) products on existing exchanges?

There are already a lot of mechanisms in traditional markets that deal with revealing or concealing true demand (e.g. block trades, icebergs, etc). Market-maker protections can allow outstanding orders to be cancelled if you get filled up to a predetermined risk setting. Most exchanges don't want to add additional complexity and more order types unless there's demand for it, which is presumably how market structure evolved to where it is today.

Combinatorial auctions are very interesting, but what's to stop exchanges from (1) creating more common bundles that people want to trade; (2) matching them with price-time priority so everyone gets a fair price? Wouldn’t the auction model just create wider or locked/crossed markets?
I'm sorry, but that's on the datacenter provider to put their operations in such a free-market state. The fact that we would suggest that datacenters be allowed to run freely, and then tell residents that they need to stock up on batteries as opposed to mandating a winterized network is kind of appalling.
Those are interesting mental gymnastics you just did.

Rolling “black outs” in California in recent years were due to two reasons. When we approached maximum capacity, the California ISO requested large electrical users voluntarily reduce usage. In times and places where that wasn’t enough, some areas saw black outs. This is because demand on the hottest parts of the hottest days of the year breached supply/capacity by the western electrical grid.

Further, PG&E (one energy provider in. Ali for us) did create blackouts during weather that was most likely to cause fires with their equipment. These had nothing to do with electrical load/capacity, but with environmental factors.

PG&E has struggled to prune foliage from their equipment, which is one of the causes of recent fires. They claim environmental regulations are onerous, but this is the same company that went into bankruptcy after poisoning multiple towns (causing cancer cluster) and allowing a neighborhood in San Bruno to explode due to lack of proper maintenance on their natural gas lines. They were also found guilty of deaths (murder?) in some more recent fires.
I see your sentiment repeated a lot, usually from people who have only ever known Microsoft chat software. (this is not a judgement, just an oft-true observation)

I might recommend trying something else for internal communications for a while.

After 2 weeks you will understand what I mean.

I can explain it the following way: Imagine someone replaced your keyboard with a touchscreen, and that touch screen would sometimes display keys in the wrong order, or not register keystrokes.

On the one hand, you've lost tactile feedback of what you're typing, which is already a minor annoyance, on the other it's inconsistent even when it's working, and randomly so. Everyone insists it's superior because it was free and anyway: everyones using it.. and after all "it's just like any other keyboard".

But you know. I know. Bad tools are awful, inconsistent tools are worse.
These are conveniences. Yes, backup cameras have been mandated for ~7 years now in the US. One can surely still drive safely without looking at a screen.
What is a necessity of technology?
Likewise, I have car insurance but not contents insurance for my house. I can just buy a bed and a laptop if my (rented) home burns down, everything else is really non essential and can be picked up again slowly.
It might take time, but the fact that the government can't print free bitcoins as it does with fiat to pay off its usurious debt and devalue everyone's hard work is a compelling basis.
If you are where I think you are (where I am), this is also after all of the bribery scandals...
Eminent domain in the US can remove stuff.

But I can't figure out how things actually work in china.

It seems they have some people fighting back - do a web search for "chinese nail house" and you'll see some interesting houses existing amidst huge infrastructure projects
To me, the more advanced we get the more fragile we are from getting wiped out. Mainly because of weaponry that gets unnecessarily strong that can be easily triggered to wipe us out. It’s already hard for us to keep nuclear weapons at bay and we one deterrence mistake from huge set back. Now imagine 3000 years later what type of weapons we’d invent. Mini black holes? Antimatter bombs?
Called third party in New Zealand, I assume it's basically the same thing.
shit I would invest in a power wall and time shift my power usage to the night.
Very well said. You’ve put into words what my intuition has been screaming at me but has been unable to properly formulate. Thank you.
And your calculus isn't altered at all by the fact that Tesla isn't "society", it's a single for-profit corporation?
Yeah. I mean, if I was doing something risky.
> Thank you. And thank you for making it open source.

Sure thing. All browser extension source code is available to you anyhow, even if the author doesn't publish it.

> Why is it sometimes returning undefined?

Looks like a simple bug as some folks below have pointed out. It doesn't impact the functionality of the extension in any way here.
You're citing the cost of 1% of the network against the entire network's function. It's more like 750 "flights worth." To provide internet service to ~250,000 people - about one quarter the population of a major east coast city.

Also, these are consumable - much more so than cable plants.

Starlink is horrifically bad for the environment compared to ground-based infrastructure. As witnessed by the very high cost of Starlink service, which is likely losing mountains of cash despite that.

> For the sake of bringing internet to hundreds of thousands of people? By letting people shop online or stream entertainment they've probably paid for themselves in reduced car journeys already.

That's not how that works.
> 50 years ago, losing 40 satellites would have been a significant portion

made me think "100 years ago, it would have been (40/0)*0.01 = infinity percent", which probably means i need to lay off the coffee a bit.
Why reply to anybody you don’t want to talk to? Keep them on ice. If you have something they want, they’ll be happy to talk to you any time you want down the road.
In the result for multi-round bets, if we take the betting horizon T=1, we recover the result for a single bit. But the other way round is not obvious.
Precisely. Not sure people who live in glass houses should be throwing stones.
Yeah, I'm not aware of any radio stations near me that feature J-pop and Metal. Before I had a phone playing Spotify, I was burning CDs.
well, exactly that, to me that meant "any source aside from SpaceX" and you provided it so thanks.
I channel surfed right up until getting my first TiVo box (probably around 2002?). That killed it dead for me, by completely changing how I consumed TV (for the better).
I begged my doctor for a serum amino acid test. And the pattern Of high amino acids I had on a normal protein diet were trademark low BH4.

All of these were high. Arganine, tyrosine and phenylalanine. And my tryptophan was normal.

All of my branched-chain amino acids were high as well telling me I had a B6 deficiency.
The grid went down due to temperatures across the state. That's not a capacity issue, that's a hardening issue. Capacity is having hot spares in a SAN or whatever. But those extra drives won't help you when your RAID array decides to up and die on you which is what happened here.
SDR is not really the answer. To make a good radio requires high quality RF filtering, whether it be an SDR or a discrete design. The SDR part only replaces the IF stage and Detector.
Oof, called out, have an upvote, you're entirely right.

Frankly I wasn't aware they were on all three, I was just on google cloud and got affected by these whack-a-mole shenanigans, and assumed it was exclusive.

This is entirely my bad for not checking my assumptions and I apologise.

We can consider the limit T -> infinity to recover the setting with infinite number of bets (but need to look at the rate of growth, otherwise multiple strategies can give infinite returns).
Why would you keep 50 pages of document in main memory at once? It’s not like 75 is some magic limit that’s enough and 50 isn’t. No, if you stand any chance of getting anywhere near such a limit, you would certainly design your data structures so you don’t need all the content in memory at once, and so the difference is not so ferociously significant.

I'm saying that state legitimation of crypto conferring ownership status is an expansion of state power. State power should not be expanded.
of course there is, it's what every other company is doing: safety drivers with reporting requirements
The problem however is the RF interference generated by the central processor and the display. Adding an AM or FM radio is easy. The hard part is adding the necessary shielding.
(Example) When you go climbing somewhere, you have like a 40% of getting killed that you can mitigate completely by skill, and an additional 0.1% chance that something goes wrong by some fluke, that you can’t mitigate at all.

Pretty good if you go climbing 10 times a year. Pretty bad if you go 1000 times.
> If telegram was weak: Jan 6th and Jihadi terrorists wouldn't use it.

The Jan 6 dudes ("terrorists" and/or otherwise) put their ugly mugs all over Facebook, Twitter, Parler, and the public Internet. I wouldn't exactly take opsec advice from that lot.
A backup camera is more than a convenience. It gives you visibility that you simply cannot get without it. Unless the rear half of your car is transparent, every time you back up you do so with a blind spot directly where you're driving. There's a reason these cameras are mandatory on new builds.
"Does SpaceX not review the data / warnings before launch?" is peak Hacker News pettiness. Try not to assume the worst, especially when it's pretty silly.
It's worth clarifying that Griddy wasn't "charging" these rates in an effort to gouge, nor was this rate an active decision they made during the crisis. (You likely know this; just providing context for casual readers.)

Griddy charged a fixed monthly subscriber fee, and then passed through delivery charges, taxes/fees, and the 5-minute wholesale electric rate (IIUC, as set by the ercot market). These all came out of pre-paid customer deposits, generally backed by auto-pay when the account was below some amount. Griddy "charged" $9/kWh intermittently while demand was outstripping supply but the system was largely stable. This model was approved by the (de-)regulators.

After the large-scale blackouts, the public utility commission pegged the rate to the regulatory cap in the market for a few days. This was ostensibly to ensure maximum incentive to bring all possible generation back online (though plausible, I personally suspect this ended up just being a reward to large operators who owned both plants that were part of the problem, and plants still online to rake in market-cap rates for several days.)

Any retail power companies whose pockets weren't deep enough to stay solvent while paying ~200x normal wholesale rates for several days went under. In Griddy's case, bankruptcy was a step removed; these rates were passed through to customers via autopay until the transactions stopped clearing, either because the account was empty, or the customer removed the payment method. IIRC none of the providers were legally allowed to cut customers off during the emergency, so these turned into massive bills (though I think Griddy clarified pretty quickly that they wouldn't be pursuing anyone for these). Since Griddy was a pre-pay service, I doubt they had enough of a buffer to absorb these whole-sale costs without payment for long.
Would be nice to double tap to zoom. HN requires I switch to "desktop" for that to work. Oof!
First video, once you skip the first 17 minutes which have nothing at all to do with Starlink, is based on two premises: 1. That on-orbit and orbit-to-surface bandwidth will never increase, and 2. That the prototype receivers are the final receivers. 2 has already been proven false with the second generation receiver, and there's no reason to assume that, with so much of the fleet getting replaced every decade, that the network bandwidth will be forever so limited. I don't think laser link tracking is terribly difficult on-orbit, particularly among satellites that share one. It's also considerably slower than stated, falling at 7.2-7.9km/s, not 20,000km/s.
To be pedantic the assignment returns null (always returns the rvalue[1]), it's the const statement that produces undefined[2]

Safari supports neither webRequestBlocking (for manifest v2 extensions) nor manifest v3 extensions. If they add support for either option then I can publish a Safari extension too.
Yes, but less safely. Hence the mandate.
The reason is that the criminal justice system imposes heavy penalties for those convicted and therefore they have to be extra careful. My words have no real effect so I can convict anyone I like.
The BBB's National Advertising Review Board in the U.S. told Mint Mobile to stop using the word "unlimited" to describe its plan that included 35 GB of data and unlimited throttled data (at 2G speeds). (The plan is still not a bad deal.)

https://www.theverge.com/2021/12/21/22848536/mint-mobile-pre...

Deprioritized data is still allowed to be advertised as "unlimited" if it is not throttled to 2G speeds.
Not that big a deal, just need to find the UART port and get out your old reliable RS232 cable, reverse engineer the device, then you should be able to change the radio station.
Read the article - "Whether this is a good thing for the world is another question, one muddied by how poorly understood Telegram is, especially in the US. The vast majority of journalists still refer to it as an “encrypted messaging app.” This description unnerves many security experts, who warn that, unlike Signal or WhatsApp, Telegram is not end-to-end encrypted by default; that users must go out of their way to turn on the app's “secret chats” function (which few people actually do); and that only individual conversations, not those among groups, can be end-to-end encrypted. For the millions of people who use Telegram under repressive regimes, experts say, that confusion could be costly."

Even if you make the argument that telegram CAN be encrypted (only in 1-1 chats) what ultimately matters is how people actually use it, and that is probably in an unencrypted manner.
> I am going to guess that some people are trying to scrape the stack overflow data to make their own spinoff blog versions of it.

An interesting thought, but it doesn't fit with the description provided by SO of an evolving DDoS attack that originates from different networks in response to mitigations. It's not scraping. It's an attempt to deny service.
The degradation in responsiveness happened, but not for the reasons you state. In the 90s and 2000s, consolidation of media company hit a breaking point where one company owns the vast majority of stations in each metro area, they go on commercial at the same time, and you can't surf the way you used to.
> the homelab/SMB users end up dealing with it a lot more than might be naively imagined

As a home server administrator, I've wanted this feature for so long. Before this, in order to expand an existing array I'd have to fail every single drive and replace them with new higher capacity ones.

The only question I have is whether it supports expansion with drives of different capacities.
You're right - this just comes off as snarky criticism. That wasn't my intent. I actually don't have any strong criticism about it - I was just thrown by the quote boxes at first.
This is really useful, simple and neat product, thanks to the Cloudflare team!
The amount of innovation at that company and how they strive to improve the Internet deserves respect.

I guess the question is, how many voters can you persuade with $X,XXX,XXX in political advertising? But, I suppose, if the politician is being bribed with the offer of having $X,XXX,XXX spent on advertising for their campaign, perhaps there's not much difference.

Well I was more talking about the schizoaffective part. Ego dissolution is a large part of a lot of peoples schizo affective/schizophrenic experiences.

But I remember growing up when my friend started taking psychedelics and told me about their experiences, well that’s when I knew there was really something different about me because I never took the drugs yet their experiences were familiar.

I just don’t think we’re all supposed to see the world in the same way. I don’t mind my schizo affective side as much as I do my bipolar side. The bipolar part is much more disruptive in my life. But I think there’s a place for people who don’t see these things. They are valuable to me. You are valuable to me just as you are. Maybe it’s not that you need to take his medication’s but to listen to people like me when I say the ego is an illusion.

Then there's also Lily Tomlin

"I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific." - Lily Tomlin
And to be even more pedantic, the function works because it is applied on an event listener... When null[1] is evaluated (in the right side of the || of the conditional), it produces a TypeError... which in effect (due to no catch and evaluation continuing in a parent/event-driven scope) is essentially equivalent to an empty return in this specific context.

What fun! :-)
