Two problems with electric everything:

1. At least for now, the power still goes out. Maybe I'm still smarting from a week-long power outage this past winter, but in the US, our electric grid is fragile in many places, and we are probably decades away from it being more resilient, so more dependence on electricity is more reliance on large utility providers. Dirty fossil fuels are still better at being able to be moved around in bulk - gasoline has 50-100x the power density of batteries. Electricity has more potential for being decentralized, but we are far away from that.

2. Electricity tends to mean miniaturization and computerization. That tends to mean more difficult to repair; someone related to me a story about a small village somewhere in Africa that was reliant on a gas-powered pump for the well. They had to get gas for it of course, but if it broke down it was simple enough that nearly any person in the village knew how to repair it. A solar-powered pump would eliminate the need for gas, but no one had the tools or knowledge to repair it if it broke. Additionally, with manufacturers desiring ever more control through embedded DRM, it leads to a future where even if the electric power is available, we might not be able to use it because we didn't pay the licensing fees.

These are perhaps very dystopian concerns, but recent world events somehow make these sorts of concerns more realistic.
This article has a really misleading feel to it. It appears like it was designed to lure clicks through the title, but in fact it's simply suggesting a bare-metal hypervisor on another machine.

Regarding fertilizer I don't think there is panacea due to its dependence on Natural Gas. Also, it doesn't seem to be problematic for India and China as they are open to import oil and fertilizer from Russia.

Looks like US is not just sanctioning Russia, but also sanctioning poor countries, adhering to US, that depends on Russia fertilizers, wheat, cooking oils etc.. Anyway, US don't have any choice, but this also proves reality always foreshadow ethics. I hope countries will focus more on peace, rather than promotion of hawkish ideas.

A policy book is also being prepared accommodating features and conditions from each geographic region with specific and actionable guidelines. This could be adopted as formal governmental policy directly.

Ukraine's “Three-to-one” advantage via morale and determination
I wound up having to quit playing Satisfactory at the final tier because no matter how I sliced it it was going to take a ton of time to accomplish.

It was either make an imperfect solution and let it run for a hundred hours, or spend a hundred hours optimizing a perfect solution and then letting that run for ten more hours, or something like that.

At that point, I just tapped out. Building my factory just stopped being fun at that point.
Did the same, use Mastodon now. It cannot replace the good parts of Facebook or Twitter for me, but it’s interesting in its own way and it’s not poison.
Here comes the Rust people saying... should build everything in Rust it will fix all your problems and solve world hunger.
but if we're getting at the point... like the real point..

everything knowledge comes in trees. skills, abilities, talents are all the product of tradeoffs between time and choices of focus. the lazy approach is to attempt to linearize these trees when evaluating people, institutions, programs and the rest. it's this laziness, this linearization, this attempt to construct a global ordered set, that causes all the problems.
So.. what's your favourite oneliner? (also it will be an example of the kind of thing you mean)
Because in the time it takes to physically swap some batteries and charge others, you could have just charged them all and that would be simpler and easier.

One of the things that's counterintuitive about batteries is that if a battery is twice as big it still takes the same time to charge, not twice as long. (That's assuming you can supply enough power to charge at the fastest rate the batteries can handle.)

I don't know who you're reading that you say "no one ever thinks about economic costs of trying to do so". I feel like people think about these costs all the time - it is the comparison to costs of continuing GHG trends and climate change impacts that is really staggering.

its not exactly ELI5.

The CLI (Caller Line ID) field of a "incoming call" message isn't adequately policed. This is sort-of baked into how telephony works. It's stupid, and it should have been thought about more. The CLI field isn't how the call routes, its just how the caller announces who you are. Telephone call routing uses other data fields, its part of SS7 and the other signalling systems the phone network uses. The field which comes up a mobile call, inside "payload" isn't how it routed.

Imagine some company has the indial range 667 2200 to 667 2299.

If you dialled from your assigned handset 667 2241 the CLI can say 667 2200 so it looks like you come from the switch (in this example we assume the company's PBX operator is on 2200, and you publish 2200 as the incoming call number) so people don't learn your office handset: thats why they permitted it.

I have no idea why they allow to to "lie" above your indial group range. But they do.

STIR is how in a VOIP world people are approaching the fix. But really? the FCC and other national regulators have to tell the telco to stomp on the fakeout, when people inject calls into their system.

This has parallels with "envelope sender vs RFC822 header" in email. Or spoofed source if your ISP doesn't do BCP38. Guess what: SPAM is a problem in email (duh) and spoofed source is how DDoS can happen. "telling lies" in end-to-end communications is not helpful.
I doubt there will be a non-biased compilation that doesn't bend narrative here or there.

But it will be interesting to compare my own experience to what people will try to make out of this later on.

Regarding COVID at least in my country it was pure madness. A lot of double standards, different media channels skipping different bits to bend the narrative, people who did little trying to claim credit, discrediting people based on information we have today even if they acted okay-ish given what we knew at the time....

It's very interesting to watch history that I witnessed being written. It will be even more to see how people reflect on this 20 or 50 years later. A lot of food for thoughts if history we know reflects what actually happened in other cases.
I very often like/share/upvote comments just to promote stupidity of the author. My followers are fully aware that I like something stupid for the lulz, not to promote it. If author of a stupid comment thinks they're being liked, that's even better for the lulz.

Recently I have been reading a lot of news and IMO they are mostly useless and misinform more than inform. A few sources can provide valuable insight about things happening right now but still it's mostly pointless, even for active investing. The market is more efficient than the news industry and stock prices are mostly uncorrelated from world events on the short term.

Except, when it comes to prosecuting people they usually make a deal where they pay a $50k fee or whatever, or they just don't have jurisdiction over the spammers and they'd rather sanction Russia than sanction India or other countries that are originating a lot of the SMS and robocall spam.

Is that so? That makes Incontinentya Buttocks even funnier.
I feel similarly. Though this has come about after years of yearning for a special life.

Eventually I let go of that, and found life much more peaceful and less strained.

Admittedly of late, it’s creeping back somewhat (old habits I suppose), but nothing like it was.
Related to the opening of this article – it is interesting to see how one can get completely soured on certain products or experiences because, by virtue of their profession, they see the dirty underbelly of how things in that industry actually work.

Someone who has read cruise contracts in detail will never want to go on one. Cooks with experience in commercial kitchens never want to eat at a restaurant again. Someone who is familiar with standards of bridge inspections in most towns hesitates every time they drive over one. A computer security expert keeps their most valuable information under lock and key in a physical safe rather than online.

My conclusion ultimately is – everything is running on goodwill and duct tape, and ignorance is bliss.
Collaborate with kindness: Etiquette tips in Slack: use email.

- "1. Never send a direct message that just says “hey” or “hello.", write longer messages -> use email.

- "2. "Write longer messages that scan quickly" -> don't use a chat app for your messages, use email.

- "3. Use threads for effective team collaboration. Seriously." -> use a mailing list.

- "4. Replace short follow-up messages with emoji reactions" -> don't do anything when it's not needed.

- "5. Reduce off-hours pings with Do Not Disturb" -> set up a mail responder.

One of my friends reminded me of CrossOver, which has eliminated that last small gap. And it is nice to finally be able to give back to the WINE community after using it for so long – I think my first use of WINE was Red Hat 9 in 2002.

The only one I can think of that isn't a total niche is SQL Server. Siemens NX dropped Mac support a while ago, but the Linux version is CLI-only. There are some more niche software (PaintShop Pro, A&B, Pro Motion NG) that suggest WINE for Linux users but I don't know how much that counts.

Pelosi knows whether google are going to have a whole bunch of very expensive anti-monopoly regulation get up. She might even influence that. Her assessment of the prospects of competing regulation is non-public and could change when she has a shower. She is right in the non-public information /by/ /definition/. And when she says she won't let her family financial interests affect her judgement do you believe that?

It's not "illegal" for her to tell her husband to buy google and then work to kill that regulation. There is zero prospect of her being prosecuted if you could prove that beyond all doubt.

Smell that stench wafting out of Washington. Got nothing whatever to do with R v D so we need to make sure we bring up republicans here to kill any chance of reforming the endemic (yet legal) corruption.

I simply don't believe you can regulate something you own. If you do, sure, that's your opinion and you are entitled to it. I believe that regulatory intent is non-public, that seems pretty clear tbh. I believe her husband would know if she had the knives out for google to take one example as he would know if she was going to make sure they aren't going to run into regulatory issues. Disagrees, sure, but there's not much to talk about beyond that. Maybe an illustrative example helps.

If you traded based on knowledge learned from the CEO of google that he'd privately met with Pelosi and she was onboard for google to do anything it wants without any further regulation while simultaneously she publicly claimed she was going to regulate them back to the 1970s. You can go to jail for trading on that information, so can the CEO, and yet she can't. I hope you can see the point now.
You might like some of the games at matrixgames.com and slitherine.com because they specialize primarily in turn-based strategy/war games and have a ton of them. However, while some of them are 'pick a scenario and play', others are hugely complex with full production, logistics, research, etc.

Yes you knew what they told you. Yes they looked at for a minute. Yes, out of a class of 950, it made a difference for 20-30. But I bet, privately, they spat on it. They had plenty of experience with total nerds who founded industries or disciplines. Remember, physics, chemistry, EE, material science, that’s 40-50% of the class: physics up to quantum mechanics. Entire undergraduate body: special relativity with 4 weeks of problem sets, and derivation of the magnetic field from this. When you’re 18.

Nuclear drones!!1one! Problem SOLVED. Gee I'm smart. ;)
I'm starting to get sick of the neverending "rust good, c bad" sentiment on HN.

Bugs occur in rust code too. It's not a silver bullet to fix all problems associated with software development. Each language will have its own set of issues and quirks. It's easy to pick on C because it's been around far longer than most things. Give it 40 years and people will be saying "rust bad, new thing good".
Phone support is a good example. You may have 20 support reps that have unique numbers, but when they call out to you, the number that shows up is the support dispatch number.

Support dispatch may be subcontracted out to an entirely different company (that may change over the months/years), so you'd still need to ability to spoof numbers you technically don't own.

I agree there needs to be more controls and regulations in place though. The status quo is unsustainable.
It’s interesting to me that the carriers are intentionally devaluing the one protected monopoly they have. Nobody wants to receive phone calls or even SMS any more, because the spam/spoofing is so bad. One has to assume that they plan to simply monetize it until it’s gone. Then, it will be just IP over 5G with a race to the bottom.

In the mean time anyone who can’t just whitelist phone numbers loses. Being a business must suck.

Is there somewhere to read more about electric container ships? I'm really curious about the battery infrastructure they have in mind. If a battery is the size of a container, is it really worth even swapping them out mid-journey? I mean, if you're carrying a thousand containers, what's a few more containers of batteries? (And considering all that fuel storage space now available...)
Not all people use the Twitter interface. I used Tweetbot for years and "like" has no effect in that app, as it has no algorithmic feed. Since there is no way to bookmark a tweet from that app, that's what I used the "like" button for.

I'm not the only one either. Lots of people use Twitter this way, whether the Twitter devs intended for it to be used this way or not.
This is only valid if it’s a US company and many of these are originating outside of the US. Many shady companies outside of the us simply ignore the fines.
Thanks, I just started using it, seems awesome. I found though that after hiding "reply"s once, I can't get them back.[0] They reappear for 1/3 of a second then disappear again. But I've realized "reply" really is never needed at all - just click on the comment time to get to the reply page. Just that one feature makes every HN page much more readable. HN should change to be like that, I think. The new comments thing is cool too. And blocking/muting will be very satisfying next time someone is a twat to me on here :-) Strange how it's not more popular. The vast majority of comments on HN about it are yours!

There was a time when the internet was a mythical place, full of fiction and unreality - cyberspace. Nothing was taken for granted here, and everything assumed false.

The culture has shifted. Now we expect the internet to be a faithful representation of reality, the truth - whatever terms you want to use.

There are those of the first order, and those of the second. Before those of the second criticize those of the first, observe that:

"You can be whoever you want to be. You can completely redefine yourself if you want. You don't have to worry about the slots other people put you in as much. They don't look at your body and make assumptions. They don't hear your accent and make assumptions. All they see are your words." [1]

I have had ideas to build a GPS based prototype on my own as a hobby project (both the hardware and software)... other than that I don't know of commercially viable ones.

However, in practice the cables are no issue - you can have them installed and dug in the soil rather trivially (the cable is shot in). Once done - you'd never notice them ever again. No go zone can be organized with magnetic strips (also buried).
Obese women’s offspring have double the risk of hypospadius, and women having babies after 40 have 4x the risk of hypospadius.

Metformin is a drug that men are probably 100x more likely to be on at 45 vs 25. Therefore men on metformin are far more likely to be reproducing with older (and likely obese) women.

I’m not saying this explains all the correlation, I’m just saying if the study doesn’t really make a good effort at addressing these confounders, its not worth reading.

Bought a house for $600K USD in 2009. It's worth almost $1.5M USD now. This is in Oslo, Norway.

EDIT: Getting an education, and having a job since I was 19, is probably also a good investment. :)

EDIT 2: Adjusted for inflation, that $600K sum is close to $800K now.
I appreciate the sarcasm because it provides a different perspective.

Obviously U$228k is a good salary for many software developers, but there is additional context in my original post to understand that, maybe, it is not adequate for my engineering level. Nonetheless, I welcome the criticism because maybe the offer is good enough to acquire my experience, or maybe it is better than I deserve.

That’s not very informative without knowing what the average is.
>All the same kinds of people are in still in charge.

Very true.

However the quality of those kinds of people has declined further while it has become easier for complete non-leaders to attain leadership positions around the world.

The political & financial leadership shortcomings across-the-board are more disappointing through time since it doesn't seem like there is enough sophistication to avoid war as well and preserve what prosperity there is.

So this is all basically threatening peace & prosperity, that's what really gets people worried.
