Almost certainly not except in very limited cases.

Big Wind is designed for reasonably contained fires, often fuel-fed as with oil or gas well fires. There, if you can extinguish the immediate flame, you've got a chance at capping the well, cutting off the fuel, and preventing further combustion.

Wildfires are more akin to a battle front, or in their worst cases, a literal storm of fire which behaves unpredictably and doesn't simply advance across terrain but can skip and jump, creating tremendous winds in the process. Fire tornados in recent Northern California fires picked up and tossed trucks and heavy equipment, killing several people in that process.

Wildfires also tend to advance not simply as a flame front but through blown embers, which can carry the fire foreward 100s of metres, or even kilometres, from the primary flame front.

Combatting is more a matter of saving people and property --- evacuations and "treatment" (clearing brush, foaming or gelling walls and roofs, possibly setting sprinklers and soaking ground and surfaces), "fuel denial" through brush-clearing, cutting fire lines, and back-burning, and laying suppressant through aerial attack. Fire lines may stretch for kilometers, with crew deployed along them. Methods used are far more strategic than tactical.

Wendover Productions did a pretty good "How Fighting Wildfires Works" video four years ago:

Agreed 100%. I had an opportunity for a managerial role, I took it, I thought it would make my career better.

It didn't. I crashed, burned, couldn't write as much code as I wanted and managing people is an entirely other and opposite skill than writing code. I quit, I took a break and I'm now planning on writing code as an engineer for the rest of my career. I'll leave herding cats^H^Hdealing with people to more suited candidates.

You can't know that your current choice is a mistake. That's an unproductive attitude to have in life.

I've just done my taxes using the country's digital sign-in.

- Go to tax website

- Click on log in

- Website tells you to open the app

- App tells you to push a button, this shows a four letter code

- You type in the four letter code on the website

- Website shows a QR code

- Scan the QR code on the app

- App asks you if you want to sign in to the website, hit yes

- App asks for a 5-digit PIN code

I think there was another confirmation, but anyway, there were a Lot of steps and I'm not convinced adding more steps made it safer. I mean they could've skipped the first "type a four letter code" by just showing the QR code directly, it can tell the app what code to use and what website it is, etc.
True. I'm curious what this sort of hit replacement would look like in practice. But, you can't add it in after the fact, so you at least have the option of writing contracts that give you the formal guarantee.
At my company we joke about how many of us hired during covid are really short. Remote hiring seems to have been a great leveller, at least on that one front.
And they almost always say that that information is optional and will not afffect the hiring process.

Don't repeat the same mistakes, it is boring. Make new mistakes, much more learning happens that way. There's probably a Yodaism in there.

The meta level is to recognize classes of mistakes and create a process around preventing them to help avoid future mistakes.
Strange they'd lean on a country code TLD since those can go sideways for political reasons.
Bad references can ruin careers. When you're talking about the difference between getting a $500k per year job and being completely unemployable, it makes sense.

That all said, people usually start with intimidation, and that's usually enough. Very few people believe in their vendettas enough to die for them, and very few people want to kill or have someone killed, just to make a problem go away, if they don't need to do so.

I do have stories, but I'm not going to share them, for obvious reasons. Only one of the ones I know well involved a person actually dying, but quite a few where people were "roughed up" and are now disabled.
I hate that the reward here is candy because I absolutely detest sugar. And in this scenario I'm conditioning my kids to eat candy when they do good.

I try to reward good behavior more so than I punish bad behavior. Things we're definitely simpler when they were younger but now they lie and make up stuff. I never lie or make stuff up. So, where does this behavior come from? And I never punish them for telling the truth.
For lower prices, not free so why would the government care since the government wouldn't be the ones footing the bill.
I personally am stunned that the advice for logging is taken as canon.

I can see using container stderr/stdout as a way to collect exceptions, but using it as a source of exceptions, access logs, authentication events, all mixed together where splunk or "hadoop" will parse it for you? Madness.
Exactly. I've always been told in hiring/legal meetings that it's ok if the candidate voluntarily discloses information about their religion/race/family status, you just can't go looking for it, and you probably shouldn't follow up about it.

Essentially, as long as your question has a reasonable answer that doesn't involve bringing up any of the protected attributes, it's fine.
This is a ridiculous argument. Reputation and social proof are basically the core concepts governing how humans interact with each other.

The process should certainly be made more equitable but discarding personal recommendation as a concept entirely makes as much sense as having all humans work at night and sleep during the day.
What 10 years ago was called malware comes back today as a security product. These are often questionable and offer surveillance options so users should take care. BYOD is basically dead with this strategy. Perhaps that is a positive at least.

For some companies such security is necessary but I heavily doubt that investment for many will be worthwhile. This will quickly mix with bossware and will further damage the IT security industry. The IT security industry - slightly less scummy than scammers but just as expensive. Even the phrasing "legacy security" for network security sounds extremely sketchy.
Can you make a purely mechanical solution to the tracking problem, at least along a single axis? If you put a water container on the left and the right side of the solar panels, the one in the sun will get hotter, expand, and that can move the solar panel. It's moving parts and extra cost, but no energy consumption.

I'm no engineer, so I can't determine whether it would work, but on the surface it looks like it should?

Some feedback: "This is the first test on our app", "Option1, Option2, Option3, Option4", random pictures of fingers, "Dddd, "Eeee"... doesn't really give any indication on what this app is about or what it's supposed to be used for.

I spend 10 minutes looking at those screen shots, but have no idea what this app could possibly be about, and I can't see how it relates to the description about politics - it makes no sense!

Crypto is an industry covering thousands of different projects.

Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities was once the 6th largest market maker in S&P 500 stocks --- run by a former chairman of the NASDAQ stock exchange with thousands of wealthy, famous clients.

Having a good back story only helped him proliferate his con.

Tech isn't nobel. Tech serves bad purposes just as easily and faithfully as good.

Assigning altruistic characteristics to tech smacks of religion more than reality and really discredits your argument.

> unless you posit that there actually is an effect but a confounder perfectly balances it out in the opposite direction.

No need for an exact balance; ther study found that there was a positive correlation between mask-wearing and infection. That suggests there was a confounder of some kind, and and that it was more than sufficient to overcompensate for any protective effect.

The only explanation I've seen offered for the positive correlation is that people wore masks more when infection rates were known to be high; that explanation is obviously a confounder.
I watch loads of Youtube channels specific to my areas of interest, outdoor sports and musical instruments and tech. I see the odd short on the feed but I just ignore them.
So in short, it's built on the solid foundation of stupid people.
I was also really annoyed by Youtube Shorts and that you can't disable them, but if, when you see the shorts reel, you say "Not interested" to all of them, they will be gone (for a while at least).
Good that the compensation is not changing in the country, but why not bring compensation parity with other countries as well. If they are going towards compensation determined by role not market location, they should do this.

I think Bankman-Fried is a realist. He understands that a lot of token economics don't make sense. Having a non-yielding asset pay some kind of yield is the crypto equivalent of a perpetual motion machine. It can work short term but long term its impossible unless the token has some other means of creating wealth (e.g. fee for some gambling scheme)

But I think what he is doing is still valuable. He's creating financial products for this space and an important financial product is the ability to bet against something. This exerts a downward pressure on the asset and incentivizes people to find the most fraudulent projects and bet against them.

Most of these shitcoins are trading in decentralized exchanges. What's the alternative? Ban certain types of math? Regulate what websites we can list? Try to dox the dex operators?

Your role in any institution hinges so much on perception and past behavior that a larger change may require a change of workplace. Once perceptions of colleagues are fixed, it is almost impossible to change them and get another "reputation." You'd have to apply somewhere else for a position that better suits your expectations, and if you can't get one, change your expectations or work further on your CV.
Show HN: I made a site where you can travel in space in your browser
I made this site using R3F (https://github.com/pmndrs/react-three-fiber), a React renderer for 3JS (https://threejs.org/).

The celestial bodies are Three.JS meshes.

I used loaders (namely 'useLoader' from R3F and 'GLTFLoader' from 3JS) to import 3D models, such as International Space Station. More on loading models in R3F: https://docs.pmnd.rs/react-three-fiber/tutorials/loading-mod...

I've future plans for this side project. It would be great to hear from the HN community before diving into them. Enjoy!

P.S: Getting an empty (probably black) screen? This app shows up in browsers that support WebGL2.0 (most modern browsers do). Check this site to see whether your browser supports WebGL2.0: https://get.webgl.org/webgl2/

P.S.S: There'll probably be responsive design issues. I'd highly encourage you to use a desktop version or rotate to landscape while using a mobile version.
Thermal for heating/hot shower or thermal for some adventure in driving a generator?

For heating, photovoltaics supplying a heat pump is starting to give direct thermal a run for the money (well, not actually for the money yet, direct thermal is still cheaper, but at least in terms of how much you could harvest from a given roof area)

If money isn't an objection at all, e.g. if you strive for that sense of achievement of a good setup, there are hybrid modules that pick up the 20% or so photovoltaics achieves and still funnel the remaining energy into heating a liquid medium.

Aircraft rental fees are the most expensive part of getting an ATP license, but all sorts of people manage to afford it. They get support from parents or work other jobs or take out loans. Midway through the training program many of them get a CFI license and then work for the flight school training new pilots, which helps defray the cost of building up the necessary 1500 flight hours.

At some point the pilot shortage might get severe enough that airlines have to hire pilot trainees with little or no experience and then pay them to go through a training program. So far that hasn't been necessary but it's a common model in other countries.
You are looking at the darts that didn't hit the bullseye, or fell on the floor.
The theoretical limit they discuss in the paper is 100gbps over 300m, 1tbps at 100m. So that seems a lot like a log function? Soo, 10gbps with 900m & 1gbps at 2700m. Theoretically atleast :)
Not to be rude, but how many people died in the process? There is a reason Taiwan had less than 20 deaths in the first year of the pandemic and still have less than 1000 in a country of 20 million while never having a lockdown. It's only absurd if you don't value people's lives over things like convenience.
Will definitely take a long while. People in general aren't up to be criticized on that one, even indirectly.

Children are like cute kitties: no one wants to see them tortured, but they don't really get to be treated respectfully in any way or form. The flag for "do I respect them?" is always set to True and yet it is almost never reflected in the actual behaviour towards them.

People are at least willing to entertain the thought that you aren't an absolute idiot, might be acting in good faith and have some sort of internal capacity for morality or ethics if you're an adult.
Not to be shit-eating, but I never understood why people use python instead of Go other than for ML teams. I program mostly in Java and Go so would love a perspective.
The accounting of "cryptocurrency" is still being developed, but, yes, Bitcoin holdings take an impairment when their value drops below a certain point. This doesn't typically affect cost basis. It may be deducted as losses on a tax return but that might impact cost basis. I've heard from other accountants (a year or so ago, so take this with a lump of salt) that some companies are trying to account for cryptocurrency as inventory, as a "hot asset," as cash equivalents, or as intangibles.

A quote from the Declaration [1]:

> Refrain from blocking or degrading access to lawful content, services, and applications on the Internet, consistent with principles of Net Neutrality subject to applicable law, including international human rights law.

Can you explain me in plain English what does this paragraph mean? I understand a concept of Net Neutrality as when your provider gives you (for example) an access to youtube when you are out of funds - this is a violation of the Net Neutrality concept. But this paragraph definitely treats Net Neutrality as something else.

And does this part of Declaration allows using torrents without fines as in Germany?

We have Terabit DSL, G.Fast, XG.Fast DSL. I think post pendamic we can all agree on we need faster, more reliable internet connection to every home. And Fibre is the only way to go.

Hopefully all the leaders around the world can understand that and spend some money making 1Gbps Internet connection much like the old phones line or water pipes. A requirement in home.
What happens when the shortened version becomes ambiguous?

For instance that's commit 9e02977bfad006af328add9434c8bffa40e053bb.

What happens when someone creates a commit and that happens to have 9e02977bfa-e-something?

I'm not even sure what github does here. Does it just refuse to select a commit or give you a list of candidates and you have to check the date (given that your link presumably was unambiguous when you wrote it)?
The wording in the article is specifically:

(Not OP but) This quote most likely is not about free will. But how life is random/chaotic. Two people in same situation doing exactly same thing might end up with different end results.

In professional poker there is a rule/saying, "you can do everything right and still loose" (due to chaos).
The trick is to not over-think your mistakes, if you made a stupid decision reflect why, if you didnt make stupid decision it might not have been a bad decision, just unlucky.

You cannot control the chaos only adapt and look ahead, instead of if only i did this or that i would be better off. You cannot know for sure if something would happened or not.

You absolutely have free will to do something about your situation, but you cannot guaranteed outcome.
I don't think anyone publishes statistics on this, but the thing you have to understand about Silicon Valley is that it runs on reputation. Skills are commonplace. H1-Bs have skills. 20-year-olds have skills. Instead, people get the good jobs based on what they can force other people to say about them, not based on what they can do. Silicon Valley is also a place where success forgives all sins, full of people with very little in the way of scruples, and where vendettas are generated all the time over the smallest shit.

This isn't limited to Silicon Valley. In any business where reputation makes the difference between 7-figure salaries and unemployability, you're going to have people who'll stop at nothing to "fix" reputation problems. That being said, these things usually don't run all the way, because even Silicon Valley people don't kill lightly, so there's a series of escalations before it gets to that, and most people aren't willing to defend their vendettas with their lives.

Not necessarily, but it has attracted the best schemers and con artists in the world in one big party over the last couple years.

I’m very interested to see what happens with these nations that have adopted bitcoin as a currency, as it seems like they are destined to relearn the pain that having a deflationary currency brings.
This thing looks like it'd be great if I wanted to use it to support 3000 store fronts or if I wanted to deploy as a remotely managed network probe to all my SAAS customers on the premium tier, or some other industrial application.
