Can't do that. You'd have the IMF and World Bank on your backs if you tried to place restrictions on trade. This is a one-way street.

It doesn’t matter if prices are falling if you make more money this year than you save by waiting an extra year. That’s the issue with hypothetical alternatives, they can’t make you money until you can actually buy them.

As to location. All the equipment you need for moving solar power around the grid like long distance power lines is exactly the same equipment you need for moving battery power at that location around the grid. Even better batteries charged with solar power get to avoid DC>AC inefficiency selling solar to the grid and AC>DC inefficiency charging the batteries. They get to skip out on equipment like redundant DC>AC inverters etc. You are even moving power through cooler power lines that therefore have less resistance.
This smells like the virulent detraction aimed at Trump, which a very large number of people tried to promulgate on social media. Sure, you can quote a bunch of subjective measures and conclude that he’s “stupid,” but he’s successful by every common understanding of the word. Trying to take a dump on him like this just comes off as jealousy.
Ask HN: What's the most stable form of digital storage?
I wrote a program which I'm proud of having done and would like to keep it for posterity. What's a good storage medium where I can keep and load again in the future? Requirements are: size < 1GB, must keep for at least 3 decades, must be easily transportable (for moves between houses and such) and can sit on a shelf. Bonus points for suggestions on an equally stable storage type that some computer will still be able to understand in the future.

> I bet it tracks directly with the gutting of the middle class starting in the 70's

This belief is oddly common, considering it has no basis in reality. The share of adults living in households with sub-middle-class incomes has only grown by 4% since 1971.[0] The share of adults living in upper-class households grew by more (5%)! And this even as the number of single-adult households has soared[1], reducing the average number of earners per household!

Salmon also became a staple in the American diet during the Great Depression, mainly because it was so cheap compared to other sources of animal protein. As Marc Reisner wrote in Cadillac Desert: "People who came through the Depression didn’t just eat salmon, they survived on it, and they were sick of it; it was known as poverty steak, because it sold for ten cents a pound.”

>People are willing to save and/or hustle for 5-10 years to get material rewards, but beyond that it feels pointless.

Let's test that theory. So assuming that person in their 20's doesn't want to move to the Bay Area/Seattle/Austin/NYC they can find a nice house in a metro area within a 20-30 minute drive of plenty of medium-high paying jobs, for around $200k.

So assuming they're smart enough to put 20% down on that house, they need to save around $40k. In your 5-10 year time frame that means they need to save $4-$8k per year.

So I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the generation dropping $1,200 on iPhones and having an average of 50 games in their Steam account can probably save like $5k per year if they really try.

Tipped employees are required to be paid minimum wage if their tips don’t equal 7.25/hr. Their employer is federally mandated to make up the difference.

The cost to code and market a Twitter clone would be a tiny fraction of $45b. If the existing Twitter is so bad that Elon needs to buy it and save it, then the value of the userbase is low - particulary considering that the time cost for a user to switch is much lower than say a Myspace to FB shift.

I am assuming that Elon is not this much of a dumbass - what am I missing here?

Where in the links I posted did it ever 'halt'? The only time it halted was when it confused the moon with a yellow traffic light in the middle of the high way. Totally not putting drivers lives on the road at risk. /s

The rest of them crashed or ran over an object; especially when the car was driving at night; suggesting a lack of proper night vision present at all. Again when used at night in one of the videos even with the driver attentive, it's a full on crash.

Perhaps is that why the regulators have formally investigated this faulty software [0] since they also think that it is a danger to have it malfunctioning on the public roads, putting the lives of other drivers at risk?

He’s the chief engineer and product designer at Tesla, and the chief engineer at SpaceX, as well as CEO of both. He led the design and engineering of rockets that land, cutting the cost of space travel by one order of magnitude. Meanwhile he created the most valuable car maker in the world and forced the rest of the industry to bring forward their electric car plans by a decade. And these things weren’t accidents, he often tells the world what his goals are before accomplishing them. And he’s the richest man in the world. He’s many things, but not unaccomplished.
It really depends on if he follows through on what he is proposing, which seems to be to allow for disinformation and hate speech. If that turns out to not be the case, then I might reconsider.
> Regulation is needed because people don’t care.

This is not how Democracy works. If, as you admit, billions of people don’t really care…who are you to force your will upon them? You know what’s better for them than they do?

It boggles my mind how people can think this way.
blake3 if you do not have to worry about compatibility with older things that do not support it
All of those things existed before Musk. Is he retroactively giving himself credit for those things like he did with Tesla?

EVs are over a century old. SpaceX was recreating NASA research. Subways have been a thing for over a century; literally millions of people use them every day. Paypal's tech stack used Thiel's startup's technology; they jettisoned everything from Musk's stack and moreover fired him for gross incompetence.
It's turtles all the way down, sadly.

The bitflip could have hit an OS distribution service. Yes, the target machines should check the checksum, but the distribution service could have flipped the bit before the checksum was computed.

But, yeah, ECC should be the standard. Also, Intel should be better about documenting where they've left holes in their online checksums, machine check exception implementations, etc.

The thing about slide rules and RPN calculators is they are “close to the calculation”. Algebraic calculators are a level too far away. So you don’t find, or notice, bugs as easily.

The same problem applies to GPs navigators and their small phone screens. You don’t actually know where you are the way you did with a big map, so can’t intuit when things go wrong (e.g. you’re in a parking lot or in construction that the mapping app doesn’t know about).

The newer systems are great for people who already understand what’s going on. But when they are the first introduction to calculating or navigating they are actually a negative influence.
First I'd need to create one.
I do want to throw in an alternative. Is it cultural, or are we all disconnected from the communities we live in because we now all view our communities as existing online? People used to be able name everyone who lived on their street and knew where they worked and a little bit about them. I have a feeling this is becoming a lot more rare. And it isn't so much of culture, but of becoming disconnected with the communities we live in. The Bangladeshi village is having BBQs with neighbors, not sitting on the couch doom scrolling twitter or consuming hours of tiktok videos.

Because people know their neighbors personally, they are less likely to steal and more likely to intervene when they see someone they don't know snooping around someone else's property. Or hell, even know who lives in the house.
This doesn't seem right to me. The relation between temperature and the kinetic energy of particles in a gas only refers to their chaotic, unordered motion. There is no reason why a directed bulk motion would have a compensatory effect on the random motion that causes the pressure. If you moved a box of air around, the pressure inside wouldn't drop.

I think this is turning cause and effect around. As a parcel of gas moves from a region of high pressure to a region of low pressure, there's constantly a force acting on it, which means it will be accelerated, and thus speed up. But I'll admit that doesn't give an intuition for why blowing air definitely does lower pressure, like in the classic experiment where you blow in between two pieces of paper and they move towards each other because the pressure between them is lower than atmospheric.
That's quite a rabbit hole to chase...but well worth it I think. Cheers!
But also remember that billions died so you could exist. Natural selection is what it is... selection, and those that are not selected.. are silenced.

Be awed by the beauty but also be wary of the horror that is existence.

Awe, beauty and horror are human concepts. Do not let that bias cloud your logic. When something is beautiful to you, you become blind to the horror. When something is horrible to you, you become blind to the beauty. Best way to view something, is to ignore both, and judge it dispassionately.

Nothing is beautiful, nothing is horrible. That is true understanding.

The notion that established field leaders, like large trees, stifle the undergrowth of new ideas, is not new. It is a partially self-correcting problem. Leaders die. However, there's no telling what some of the undergrowth that sprouted at the wrong time might have grown into were it given more light. Asking how we can do better is worthwhile.

A worse problem manifests when fields come to be dominated and policed by a commonly accepted orthodox dogma.

A less controversial example might be the common perception in Physics during the late 19th century that all the big things had been sorted out, and what remained was to fill in increasingly small blanks. This was a terrible sort of dogma to grip an entire discipline since it actively encouraged ambitious new minds to look elsewhere for discovery. Who knows what discoveries might have been made earlier if this kind of fatigue hadn't gripped all of Physics?

Modern examples are bound to be more controversial. e.g. Anyone looking for a silver lining in climate change is going to run into outrage and difficulty getting publications or funding. However, common sense tells us that huge, complex changes to massively complex global systems are bound to be, themselves, complex and mixed. Of course there will be good aspects, and taking advantage of them may be the key to dealing with the bad. Just suggesting this is enough to make you a pariah in many circles though. What kind of valuable and beneficial work simply isn't being done because of this?

Nowhere in the emails do the Saudi investors pledge funding. At best, they say they might be interested in investing.

Therefore, "funding secured" was absolutely an outright lie, unless words don't have meaning anymore.
It's a very bad move to make it explicit, if you can implicitly coordinate and hide your real intentions, by virtue of your colleagues mostly agreeing with you, while telling others a flattering tale of how principled and virtuous you're being. The latter takes much more effort to expose.

For a recent example, see the pleasing fable journalists give for when they consider race "relevant" [1] or "pertinent" [2] to a story, versus the venal reality exposed by a Washington Free Beacon project [3] sampling almost a thousand stories to suss out their real behavior.

On Form versus Meaning
> The cost to code and market a Twitter clone would be a tiny fraction of $45b.

No it wouldn't. Literally tons of people would do it and plenty of competitors have tried or are trying.

Per the value of the userbase and the cost of switching: well look at some of the competitors I mentioned, the ones Joe Rogan and others flock too when they get a temporary Twitter ban, do they not return immediately after their ban is lifted?

The cost of code and marketing can't beat Twitter's network effect. Getting Elon, Joe, and plenty of other personalities to move also is no guarantee that even a slight portion of the userbase switches.
I have many legacy Google Workspace domains setup for friends and family who are not tech savvy. They are all comfortable with the Gmail interface, so it will be hard to move many of them to a new interface.

I have looked at the companies mentioned and came to much the same conclusion. Currently I am contemplating ImprovMX (https://improvmx.com) which could provide an SMTP server and allow those domains to continue to use Google's no-cost option (https://support.google.com/a/answer/60217#nocost). If this option is anything like GMail it should be possible to setup the 'send mail as' account as the default to continue sending and receiving mail from the custom domain using ImprovMX's SMTP.

> What's a good storage medium where I can keep and load again in the future?

USB flash? HDD? SSD?

> must keep for at least 3 decades

Most storage mediums won't have problems lasting that long if they're stored well. Particularly flash and SSD storage shouldn't take issue: tape and HDD has a small chance of mechanical failure even if you don't use them.

> must be easily transportable (for moves between houses and such) and can sit on a shelf

I mean, I think most of our current formats do just fine in that regard.

> Bonus points for suggestions on an equally stable storage type that some computer will still be able to understand in the future.

Almost everyone is still using SATA. There is unlikely to be a world in the future that is unable to "understand" serial ATA storage.

I find this line interesting:

Amy, a white thirty-year-old mother of three, ages six, five, and three, had a boyfriend who worked steadily but insisted on spending on selfish pursuits. This is what eventually broke the young couple up. ‘He wouldn’t spend money for the kids’ food. I had to send my kids across the street to my mom’s to feed them and stuff. That’s what I got fed up with. I shouldn’t have to live like that…I said it’s time for him to support these kids instead of [me] being on [assistance], and he didn’t like it.’”

To put it another way: He didn't want to support another man's children (or various men's children). I think that's entirely reasonable but a better approach would have been to not get involved with Amy at all.
They offer a lot of products we couldn't normally get conveniently elsewhere as well where we are.

Trump's companies failed at selling steaks, booze, and gambling to Americans. (He also failed at launching a coup d'etat, but at least he succeeded at avoiding punishment for it.)

It’s much worse than that. I had previously assumed Musk knew what he was doing and was fooling around on Twitter in an effort to (unethically) crush short sellers. Now it appears like he’s an utterly inept businessman who took the first verbal sign of interest, rushed it to Twitter as though the deal was complete, and then blew up the deal in a hissy fit.

I still think what he’s done at SpaceX and Tesla is admirable, but after reading those emails I’m definitely a few percent less confident that there will still be a Tesla to service my Model 3 in the future.
Generally I don’t keep todo lists. If something is really important I’ll remember it anyways. If not, it doesn’t matter if I forget to do it.

The downsides of peer pressure. If you don't want to do a thing: don't.

I've been called some pretty bad names by captains of industry for not wanting to partake in their chosen 'team building exercises', not a team player and so on. My body, my rules and if you want to bond over kayaking, parachute jumping, alcohol, drugs or bearing your heart out to perfect strangers that's perfectly ok with me. But I will join if and only if I feel like it. And any kind of pressure is going to turn a 'maybe no' into 'definitely no'.

And that goes for backseat rides in fighter jets as well.

Twitter's userbase is immensely valuable, but the company's execution has both been slow to unlock its full potential and also is on a fairly clear trajectory of eroding the window of permissible speech on the platform which presents grave risks to society at large. For an activist investor of the right type, the former checks the box of financial opportunity, and the latter checks the box of impact opportunity.
A lot of things at Aldi are structured to make work efficient and need for staff minimal. Supposedly they pass the savings onto the customer in the form of lower prices. The staff often don't have a phone to answer either.
No one is making a surprise attack on one airplane over Sunnyvale.

Just look at this from a risk management perspective. Chance of aircraft being surprise-attacked in extremely well-defended airspace during peacetime: essentially zero. Consequences of that aircraft being surprise-attacked: loss of one aircraft and crew.

Chance of inadvertent release of weapons and/or countermeasures when switched on: apparently not zero, given the trainee's response. (An automatic response that I would be very, very, very pleased to see as an instructor!) Consequences: potential loss of civilian life and/or property.

So you have zero * (1 airplane + 1 crew), versus non-zero * (? civilians + ? buildings). I know which side of that inequality I'm landing on.
