VP9 is an open format but can still be encumbered by patents. $20 says Google gave Apple an indemnity agreement for VP9 support for YouTube only which is why VP9 is locked down so hard in iOS. So if Apple enables VP9 and gets sued for patent infringement for their VP9 implementation Google will have to pay for some or all of the legal costs and/or judgements resulting from them.

As a huge Fastmail fan and user: This was a bad post, and if the CEO is rolling around the comments today: Just delete it.

ProtonMail and Fastmail serve very different threat models, and glossing over the differences between end-to-end encryption and not is disappointing. I choose Fastmail because my threat model isn't particularly concerned about the company's servers or government intrusion, but for the folks who do need to worry about that, Fastmail isn't a good option, and even a Fastmail blog should be willing to plainly and openly admit that.

If anything, Fastmail should even encourage people living under oppressive regimes or involved in sensitive whistleblowing activities to consider ProtonMail... even if they then use Fastmail for everything else.
I love the product. And I have listened to the founders on several Georgian podcasts. They are super inspiring!
“Safety” depends on your threat model.

Frankly, if they rip off school districts in order to keep kids from inhaling nitrogen dioxide, that's still a better business model than most of the ones I've heard.
The parent you’re replying too has no problem with tenant-friendly laws: rather, these occupation limits are both tenant and owner unfriendly, because you can’t live together in non-family arrangements that you might prefer (as a tenant or as owner). I sympathize.

With regards to your example, if you’re rich enough to be able to afford leaving a property you own empty, then I have little sympathy. It seems like their cities and states should introduce a sizeable vacancy tax. Or, as they did in Amsterdam in the 1980ies, tolerate squatting. And yes, maybe see if there’s something that can be done about backlogs in eviction court, but the baseline for me is that it should never be feasible for an owner to leave their house empty.
Only in the bad sense, as we're still subject to the dangers of nuclear annihilation, cosmic disaster, vulnerable world hypothesis, etc. at pretty much every moment.

We could have already exhausted all of the easy to obtain energy and resources, and that would make growth very hard to sustain at a level where we can expend extra effort on space exploration.

Imagine an alien civilization that didn't have a Carboniferous period where energy was just left sitting around and accumulating for future use.

Now imagine us exhausting it before we expand beyond our planet. That's the worry. Will we be able to tap into renewables in a way that sustains growth? Maybe. We're not there yet, though.

Per-unit rent will go down if you increase supply of housing, but the value of the land underneath will go up if you increase the amount of houses allowed to be built on said land. There's one part of "standard economics" that a lot of people forget with property, which is that land in desirable locations is of limited supply and you cannot increase its supply.

Land at the boundaries of a city is not equivalent with land in the centre, because of location value.

I do agree that #2 should stop, but be warned that it doesn't solve land values going sky-high; it actually increases land values. The solution is land value tax, a la Henry George.
I don't if it's due to actual improvements in quality, or just the fact that every other media outlet is getting worse, but it seems like the quality of the reporting in the NY Post has been getting better in recent years.

I still don't get that TCO for EV is higher than Diesel.

On the consumer side, let's look at Tesla Model Y vs. Lexus RX 350. I am using "premium" makes on both sides of this equations. If we want to go with a cheaper ICE then it should be compared with a cheaper EV. Idea being, there is a reasonable comparison where EV comes out ahead on TCO.

Cost / mile: $0.04 vs. $0.10
Difference in purchase cost: $55K (base model Lexus) vs $59K (base model). Include $7500 Fed Credit this comes to ~$56K (assuming a 35% marginal tax rate)
Average miles per year: 12K. So fuel savings of ~$720
Even assuming a very generous cost of capital even TCO over 2 years beats ICE. That's before maintenance costs (which seem to be lower for EV).
> There is no valid intention with regards to storing an infinite number series in a finite data storage unit - the example that was brought up.

No, the example that was brought up was overflow of a signed integer.

Programming languages do a variety of things here, but you don't seem to be familiar with anything except C++ so let's tour briefly.

BigNum languages. In these languages the limited storage size of a machine register is merely a consideration for optimisations. A programmer who is counting people on Earth, estimating global disk storage capacity in bytes or how many Hydrogen atoms there likely are in the visible Universe, needn't worry that there will be "too many" since the language has their back. There is a limit because machines are finite, but it isn't a real concern. Modern Python and many Lisps are in this family.

What is this "integer" of which you speak? In these languages they chose not to worry about the integer types, or at least not to expose them to programmers. All numeric values are floating point. Tremendously large numbers can be handled, albeit they cease to have integer precision. Javascript is in this category.

You can't do that. In these languages overflow is simply impossible, the compiler is doing enough type checking to figure out that your program could overflow and reject it on this basis. Some languages (including Modern Ada) can do this if you request it for specific variables, but this is how WUFFS works all the time.

Overflow is an Error. In these languages overflow is a runtime error, your program must handle Overflow the same way it's obliged to handle a File Not Found error. This might involve control-flow changes like an Exception and of course you can handle that overflow badly but that's on you. Zig treats overflow as an error.

Runtime failure: In these languages overflow is an immediate runtime failure. Some C and C++ compilers can be told to do this, and it is the behaviour of Rust's integer types in debug builds.

Wrapping Overflow. In these languages overflow causes the number to "wrap" back past the opposite end of its range. This is pretty unintuitive, but it is at least defined. Java does this, most assembly languages do this, and Rust offers Wrapping<T> for integer types to give them this behaviour, it will also do this for integer types in release mode by default.

Undefined Behaviour. This is an extraordinary response. But, it is what C and C++ chose here.

So while you may say there was "no valid intention" the reality is that people simply underestimate how high they might be counting or overestimate how big these integer types are in languages like C++, and so they ran into an overflow, and that's all it takes in C++, whereas in these other languages something better happens. This is perfectly normal code, it may not be the right solution (although in some of the language classes described above it works fine), but "Undefined Behaviour" is an astonishing punishment for this oversight.

Another anecdote - We sold a house in late 2020, decided to get an offer through zillow first, since we had a newborn and staging would have been a hassle.

Zillow lowballed us 10% under their zestimate, and still tacked on an 8% fee - we ended up going with a realtor instead, and ended up getting 15% over the Zestimate, with a 6.5% fee.
I believe batteries and electric motors can replace almost all applications of gas engines. However, diesel engines still are a step too far now IMO. Most people have never operated a diesel engine. Their efficiency is very impressive. My 7,000 lbs truck with a Cummins diesel engine gets better MPGs than my partner's 4,000 lbs Mini Cooper Countryman.
The upfront price difference should be offset in the long term by buying cheap electricity instead of expensive diesel.
> Hmm...buses that (per the article) cost 2x or 3x what diesel ones would.

What about when you consider total life cycle costs? Diesel fuel costs often many times of cost of the vehicle over its lifespan.

Fuel costs will likely increase quite a bit in the future.

Knee-jerk reaction and discrimination against the Russian people.
The truth is that normal people like abusive software. Using software that gives them freedom also gives them the responsibility to understand the behavior of the machine which is something they do not want. No amount of evangelism or possibly even education will fix this. IMO for their own good people who behave this way should not be allowed to use computers and should delegate the task to people who are willing to think through the consequences of using a particular piece of software.

Allowing normal people to use computers is cruel in the same way making a dog order its food over the telephone is.

You missed the part how it was about the conflict of interest. "We're on the same side" wasn't really true.

Especially at the higher level, Mozilla was complicit in accepting money from a competitor.

Make no mistake, that absolutely distorted how they ran the company over the next decade. That's why Firefox is so "meh" right now, why Servo got killed, why Mozilla is being seriously mismanaged.
I bet humans could have done a lot better than -$881M, and it wouldn't have been very costly to employ them. How many homes did Zillow iBuy in total, 10-20k? If it takes 5 minutes to evaluate a house, that would be 100,000 minutes, which is ~50 people working full time for a week. Spending $100k on that could have saved 100s of millions, plus it might have generated better training data for the model.

NIF never had any intention of producing sustainable fission; it was a re-branded weapons program.

ITER and its spinoffs share the failing that, even if 100% successful in all their aims, power produced would be much more expensive than from fission. But fission is already uncompetitive, and gets moreso every day. So, the longer they take to get to their projected endpoint, the farther they get from usefulness. And they are today far from useful.

TOTP is the most easy way to implement two factor authentication, but is not very user friendly. I'm fairly certain you refer to this.

WebAuthn is more friendly, because you can either enroll something you have (a Yubikey) or something you use (your device - via Windows Hello/iOS fingerprint reader/etc). This of course requires the service to support multiple enrollments, and WebAuthn by itself is much more complex to understand and use. Logging in is just a matter of username/password + fingerprint/Yubikey/Windows Hello.

When we didn't use JIRA or similar apps, I had a hard time remembering as well. But with JIRA I look at the ticket I'm working on (and the ticket is displayed on the screen) and say "I was working on Ticket XYZ". Of course, they can look at JIRA themselves and don't need me to say it. But that's what stand-ups are anyways—a status update when you can already see the status from JIRA. But that's a different topic.

Sure you are. Your comment is a classic example of what I call 'sore winner' literature.

The average lifetime of a schoolbus is 10 - 12 years, so if they do manage to keep this service going for a decade, that's pretty good -- in 10 years the schol district would have been ready to refresh their fleet anyway, and hopefully the reason this business can't survive long-term is that electric buses become cheaper and ubiquitous.

I think it's important to keep the electrification and subscription aspects distinct.

Electrification of bus fleets is an absolute good. Electric buses may cost more in the short run, but for the sake of children's health, not to mention the world they live in, school districts should be dumping diesel in favor of electric as soon as they can afford to do so. As taxpayers we should be ready to foot the bill.

There are real concerns with privatization of school bus fleets though. Safety obviously, but also advertising and marketing to children as other posters have pointed out. If a company offered school districts a subscription model with diesel buses we'd be rightfully suspicious of where this could lead. We should maintain these suspicions even as we encourage phasing out diesel fleets in favor of electric.

Sure, because those tenants signed contracts with perpetual leases (as also understood by the landlords who provided the contracts). Evicting in SF means you can't turn your property into a Condo (only a TIC) - so to maintain the value of the condo conversion option, landlords pay tenants to leave. The buyouts are proportional to the rent difference so it's not surprising that someone who's rent is increasing from say $1k/month to $4k/month would need a large sum of money (that's taxable!) to be convinced to leave.

Call the buyout $100k -- best case scenario, it's taxed as capital gains so you'd take home $85k. At $3k/month increase in rent, you'd be looking at a little over two years before you're below water.

Housing in California is broken in 1,000 different ways but the tenant buyouts seem to be pretty minor in the grand scheme of things.
