All the data I see does not indicate that people are buying regular houses as collectibles in hot markets. There is simply that much demand and basically no supply, especially in western cities. I do not have hard data on how many of these sales are owner occupied or not, but from personal experience over the past 10+ years, none of these neighborhoods seem empty for part or all of the year.

What's this based on ? AFAIK many school districts already contract out their school bus service. Are we seeing that in those cases?
I guess you have shown that in the luxury segment the TCO comes out better for EVs. Many people are not buying $50k+ luxury vehicles. Care to run an estimate for something like what I was buying a year ago? I was in the market for a loaded 5 year old vehicle with 60-80k miles for $10-13k (Dodge Dart for example, also liked a few Ford Fusion options). There were options like this available, though I happened to stumble upon the apocryphal 13 year old 175k miles $1,000 Honda and went with that.
If you're leaning towards stripping all your writing down to list form, you may want to read Tufte's analysis on the role PowerPoint (aka writing everything in the form of bulleted lists) played in the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster [0]. I used to write exclusively in bulleted list/outline format until spending time with Tufte's analysis. Now I get that the connective tissue of the document is vitally important to the reader even if it's not important to the writer. If you don't put in the connective tissue, your reader has to do it for you and they'll probably do it incorrectly (leading to, for example, the failure to prevent the Challenger disaster).

As a widget maker, I'm pro widget-users even though I technically have an adversarial relationship with them. In particular, I'm pro widget-users because without them I would be without money and without me they would be without widgets, so we're both supporting each other against the harsh forces of nature that would leave us all destitute if we didn't work together.

The dams are pretty impressive but more impressive, I think, is seeing the perfectly straight canals they dig. I saw one at least 100 feet long on an oxbow of a river when I was paddling as a teenager. It was dead straight.
Google results are the one thing keeping me on Google. Not sure why getting the almost indisputably best results would be bad. Even if they are getting worse, they're still miles ahead of anyone else.

I've been waiting for a Kagi invite for a while because I've heard good things on HN about it. Finally got one a couple weeks ago. Finally switched off of it and back to Google yesterday. The results weren't even in the same ballpark, despite me really wanting it to succeed.

macOS 12.3 solves 2019 MacBook Pro 16“ overheating issue with external monitors
For context, there’s a 231+ page thread on MacRumors of people complaining and troubleshooting the issue of excessive heat/fan noise when using specifically their 2019 16" MBP’s while plugged into external monitors of certain resolutions/frame rates, even at idle with nothing running.

The root cause was a bad GPU driver. Throughout the years, people have tried various workarounds, like using the laptop in clamshell mode, force enabling HiDPI mode for the monitor, using Monterey's Low Power Mode. (Some solutions of which I discovered myself.)

But now, this issue is fixed by Monday's macOS update, no workaround needed! People have been celebrating in the aforementioned MacRumors thread. In Big Sur and earlier, idle GPU usage was ~18W. This is insane power draw at idle. In earlier version of Monterey, ~14W. Using low power mode, ~6W, but this required compromises like disabling CPU turboboost which may matter for some workflows.

But now in Monterey 12.3, it's now ~6W straight up, no compromises or workarounds or fiddling with settings needed!

No longer do I have to deal with loud fans at idle with just a monitor attached or extremely loud fans when doing simple stuff like zoom calls and screen shares. So if you have this model MacBook, go update to 12.3!

I actually don’t use google (search or other services aside form YouTube) very often. As for “everyone”, I assume habit and momentum. People are used to it so it’s hard to change to something else. Many people also don’t know what alternatives there are.
Long delay, but as for your first point I was thinking of a simple mechanical timer such as the one below. I think that could be set in around the same amount of time if not faster as long as it is kept within reasonable distance of where you stand while in the kitchen. Of course it doesn't solve the other problems.

I'm 100% with you on that. If you frequent Audio Science Review forums, you'll see that kind of crap get called out all the time, including subjective/placebo adjectives like 'warm' and 'clinical' about equipment and other snake-oil goods like 'DC purifier's and 'diamond HDMI cable's.
Not sure if you read the post. They don't advocate for replacing Google. They want to add onto Google and other search engines.
How, exactly, does Google keep users hostage for money?
I don't know that I've ever had the option of an in-service rollover. I googled it and saw:

> According to the Profit Sharing Council of America (PSCA), up to 77% of 401K plans include a provision for in-service 401K rollovers. Many of these only allow plan rollovers when a worker reaches a triggering event such as reaching retirement age, disability, plan termination or reaching the age of 59 ½ years.

So even many of those who are in the 77% who have in-service rollovers available don't qualify for them.
How much will they weigh compared to a Diesel bus? Road damage is to the fourth power of axle weight. Any cost savings may be just shifted to the road department for fixing pot holes. I think the VW EV is almost twice the weight of a same size ICE car. 16x the road damage.
Plus, how much damage when this EV bus slides on the ice and hits something? Twice the damage if twice the weight.
I completely understand why accessible websites are important and fully support the cause. But I cannot stand doing the work!

I do some work for a Very Large Corporation that was sued over accessibility issues with their website and settled for a large sum of money, so their legal department is on high alert for this. They have a dedicated accessibility testing team, and I will often get a suggestion on how to fix an issue, fix it, and then someone else will test my fix and give me a totally different suggestion on how to fix it. It's infuriating.

I'm no expect but I wouldn't be surprised if there's some level of 'learning' and 'teaching' that goes on in groups of beavers that lead to different types of dam architecture in different regions.

Beavers are really neat to me because they seem like they have the right sort of body type and proclivities to be really expert tool makers. They're one of those species that would probably take over the human ecological niche if the human species just blinked out of existence tomorrow.

People always love to talk about tool-making animals like crows and chimps and that's cool but I've always been fascinated by examples of animals that build complicated and vast structures like beavers or ants and termites. It's interesting to me that we've domesticated animals for so many purposes but not for construction. Like we have domesticated animals for eating (cows), for riding (horses), for self defense/hunting (dogs) pest control (cats) but I can't think of an example of using animals for construction. I guess using grazing animals for trimming grass/scrub is maintenance which is similar.

What I find remarkable about the video I linked to above is that once that beaver has it's Maslo's hierarchy of needs is met it seems to want nothing more than to collect the appropriately sized/shaped stuff to dam anything that resembles a waterway. If we could some how find some way to harness that, if we could engineer a species of animals that we fed and nourished and they would go out in the wilderness and do remediation work for us, it could potentially be so much more sustainable than using heavy equipment or other alternatives and cheaper than using human labour.

This article is really not that good, it suggests a bunch of obvious reasons why Google has a moat (Chrome, everyone's personal data) and misses some others (brand recognition). Then it goes and an explains reason why OP thinks Google sucks (to be fair I agree with him, but they're pretty subjective). Finally, OP claims that people are abandoning Google. Their single data point is that since 2009 there have been fewer searches for mortgages, because that couldn't possibly have been the result of an mortgage-driven recession in 2008.
>This is a fairly standard reframing when your product has lower TCO but higher upfront costs.

I'd say it's the opposite a lot of times. EVs are one such product. People will say, "sure I'm paying 20k more for the car, but I'll make it up in fuel savings and zero maintenance!" without ever calculating how much fuel and maintenance you'd actually have to use to break even. Then, of course, there is the regulatory and temporal risk that energy costs today aren't what they might be down the road, and that there are some high-ticket items an EV can have fail itself.

It's hardly ever a no-brainer, because the invisible hand tends to make it so.

I believe “virtue signalling” means any form of protest which will not, and does not really try to, have any actual effect on that which it protests against. Any small actor protesting and boycotting something which they are unlikely to affect and even come into contact with, therefore qualifies. The protest is not done to affect any real change, only to signal virtue.
The Access and Assistance Bill doesn't prevent anybody from offering end to end encryption.

The media coverage was very "sky is falling" but the reality is that it only requires you decrypt content to which you already hold the keys or to which you can obtain the keys without compromising the security of untargeted users.

Any laptop with latest-generation AMD processors, efficient RAM, and an efficient SSD will work. I use an Alienware m15 r5 Ryzen edition wiht an RTX 3070 - I get around 13h of battery life on idle (low screen brightness, 60hz), and around 8-10h doing work - that means Firefox, CLion, Dolphin, and a few terminal windows open. - but compiling rather infrequently, perhaps spending 2% of my time compiling. This is with 1 NVMe SSD installed - my other NVMe SSD is quite inefficient and drops battery life. I also run KDE with a lot of blur and eye-candy enabled and a bunch of extra stuff that eats battery.

If you really push battery saving to the very maximum, you can get power consumption with a similar setup at around 7W, which means a battery life of around 12 hours with a daily workload. However, as it is now, I am using between 7 and 9 watts, which results in a battery life of around 10 hours.

To get this to work on Arch Linux however, it was a serious headache, took me around 9 hours of work.

This seems comparable to what my friends with an M1 Pro MBP, 14", report, which is 8-9h on essentially the same workload.

I get better power consumption on Windows, however, unless I fully and completely disable the dedicated GPU (I use hybrid graphics).

My understanding is that "virtue signaling" implies that the primary goal is performative with minimal personal risk and minimal commitment to productive action. The example that comes to mind is a company that spends far more money informing the public of their charitable works than they do on the works themselves.

So an in-person march, trucker protest, sit-ins, having a private conversation, calling your representative, making personal sacrifices, attempting to bring attention to lesser-known issues, donating money, engaging in dialog to convince someone of your position, etc would not be virtue signaling.

But things like posting "Let's Go Brandon" online, or changing your profile picture with no further action, or unironically using terms like "virtue signaling" for internet points might qualify as virtue signaling.

Using Octopus Deploy to Simplify Complex Deployments
Here in Ireland, our reputation with raw material is important, because what we make is traded as best-of-breed, which in agriculture means any meat is grass-fed and free-range, and any fish we catch is mostly from managed wild stock (important for salmon), or explicitly labelled as farmed.

The big initial scandal around that was around live cattle exports to the Middle East. This was largely down to animal cruelty, because live exports happened because nobody wanted to export halal meat from Ireland. Amongst other things, this eventually lead to the establishment of halal slaughterhouses in Ireland, which, while it didn't entirely eliminate the animal cruelty argument, at least minimised it.

It doesn't hurt that everything in the EU is traceable.

Mind you, then there's the whole horsemeat scandal in the EU. Me, I've no problem with horsemeat, but I'd just prefer it to be labelled as such. It's not all that terribly different from beef.
Parallel opposite faces isn't a requirement for fairness either. A standard d4 doesn't have that.
This is very cool, but I imagine would be favored by people already well familiar with programming. When the average person sees the "Socket I/O" quest, they have no natural reason to find it interesting besides the small percent of people who will just do any task if it's part of getting to 100% completion. IMO a more enticing premise would be to wrap every task into an internal narrative.
It’s probably innate, like how spiders know how to build webs. Evolution has optimized the process to the point where the algorithm is baked into the hardware.
My point isn't that people don't use their collectible homes to live in. There are undoubtedly some vacant homes used as collectibles, but that's not the whole problem. The point is that the value of the homes are largely divorced from the fact that people need homes to live in. The fact that home prices have skyrocketed recently (and certainly not simply due to population growth or a reduction in supply) ought to make this fairly clear.

> Additionally it kind of strains belief that people are buying homes, paying property tax, etc. just because they like collecting them the way a kid likes collecting pokemon cards. More likely they'd buy a home because they expect home prices to rise and they'll be able to sell the home for more in the future.

That second sentence is, of course, precisely what I'm talking about. Although that is also the same motivation, at least in my experience, of a lot of Pokemon card collecting. When I was in middle school, you could buy a Charizard for $100, and it wasn't because you could win back that $100 by playing that Charizard in a tournament, and it wasn't because you got $100 of value admiring the aesthetics of the card. Also of note, those Charizards now sell for tens of thousands of dollars, and it's still not being of their value in competitive play or their aesthetic value.
Best way to encode video is to use a scene detect algorithm to chunk up the video into multiple parts, configure your encoder to encode those parts with a single CPU thread, and spin off one thread per scene to your CPU's max amount of threads. You then just concat the scenes together afterwards.

"Glory to Russia" ("Слава России") is the name of a national series of patriotic children's contests supported by the President's Fund for Cultural Initiatives: https://www.deti-rossia.ru/. It obviously does not compare to "Heil Hitler".

"Eternal glory to heroes of the Great Patriotic War" ("Вечная слава героям ВОВ") is a common refrain in Russian remembrance of WWII. You will see it on signs and on TV around memorial holidays. It obviously does not compare to "sieg heil".

Russia also had a nationalist movement that collaborated at times with the Nazis, the Russian Liberation Army. And Russian nationalists have attempted to rehabilitate their leader, General Vlasov, since the fall of the USSR, much as Ukrainian nationalists have Stepan Bandera.
