With typical EV workloads you'd only do this type of fast charging on a roadtrip or similar. The remaining time you'd be charging at home at much lower rates.

Not to say there aren't people who only charge at superchargers, but as L2 availability increases I imagine that will be less and less common.

It would. Liquid fuels would still have an enormous energy storage to weight ratio advantage, but electric aircraft might become good enough to be practically useful.

I'd imagine there could be military applications too, once the energy density is high enough to be useful. If you have, say, a bunch of tanks that can run off of diesel or batteries, then you can recharge them opportunistically whenever power is available (i.e. if you're defending a city that still has functioning utilities) and save the diesel for when you have to move long distances. Basically, it makes the fuel resupply logistics more flexible, and it reduces costs and climate impact in peacetime if exercises are conducted mainly on batteries.
Yeah. It might as well be in flash.
I think it's also important to take into account the diminishing marginal utility of money. It's one thing to leave a FAANG job making 300k a year to work at a non-profit for 50k a year. But going to a startup making 150-200k a year can be a great trade if it genuinely brings more satisfaction. After all it's not like your family is going to starve making only 4x the median salary in the US. If you also get a lottery ticket in the form of startup equity then great, but it could still make total sense to make the move even if you assume (probably correctly) that your equity will be approximately worthless.

Can both of these things be true?

It also seems confusing that K, I, and KI are 3 different types of bird. How do you distinguish KI from KI?
I found this article that sort of covers similar ideas really interesting too.

Brian Balfour wrote about this a few years ago and I find that framing quite useful too (having led both innovation orgs within large mature companies as well as startups). Highly recommend a read.

He talks about market - model - channel - product fit. In that order.

I found it odd that they'd publish such a poor track record, so I checked the worst performing position ALLK (-97%). The stock was at 100-ish in December 2019 (their reference), and today it is at 3.22.

Consequently, it seems that the performance that they are reporting is that of the stock, not of their short.

Edit: fixed the reference date.

The real killer is that if the house needs work - and it will, because the housing stock here is very old and wasn't exactly well built to begin with - the cost of the work in the bay area is 1.5x at least most other areas of the country.
Yep, I agree. You can currently filter jobs by location and time zone (https://himalayas.app/jobs) but we haven't extended the functionality to our company search yet. We will based on your feedback :)

What 1980s fantasy is this 3x rule?

Median household incomes to home price ratios have risen to ~8x across the US as a whole , not just crazy house price areas like SF/NYC. Canada and Australia are far worse again, pushing 15x in some cities.

3x, if it ever was a rule, has been dead for a long long time.
I think your critique, if you examine it closely and deeply, is fundamentally an arrogant one. Sorry for the harsh claim, but I truly do believe this.

You are a new developer too. Everyone is. When it’s easy to learn something, it’s easy to relearn it, and it’s easy to learn things around it (because you don’t devote as much brain to the language).

All languages should target new, dumb devs, because all devs (including Rob pike) are new and dumb.
And I've seen too many non-functional W10 systems with a corrupt registry. AFAIK, Windows used to make automatic backups of the registry that you could restore from, but they stopped doing that several years ago. I don't care what Wikipedia says. It's a shitshow and a brittle system with an absurd single point of failure.

Repurposing old smartphones for audio players never made any sense to me as I normally run my smartphones until the battery is dead, and battery life is the reason that I have dedicated portable audio player.

I used to use Rockbox on an old Sandisk Clip - it was great and did exactly what I needed. Then it died and I discovered that Rockbox doesn't work on the newer Sandisk devices.

You'd have thought that the few basic features that I needed would have been implemented in their interface by now, but you still can't tell it to play all your albums in a sensible track order. Selecting Play All in the albums menu doesn't play all your albums in album order, instead it plays track 1 off all the albums, followed by track 2 off all the albums, then track 3...

In the end I had to fall back to writing a simple script to create a playlist of all the tracks in album order - it's not a great solution but it's workable.
Sounds like a '22 version of George Soros if true, but the the thread seems quite speculative. All the screenshots just document the Luna foundation's actions, no evidence of the 100k BTC short position or the other actions of the supposed attacker. While it makes for good reading, I'd take this with a pinch of salt - an anonymous attacker is also a convenient way to shift blame.
Thanks, glad you like the site!

Agree that there is more to a job than the number of perks (and perks don't often contribute a lot to how much you like your job!)

That's definitely not what we're trying to do - more so trying to give more power to job seekers into the inner workings of remote companies. In the future, we'd love to provide even more transparency beyond just tech stack/tools and go into things like what it's like to work there etc.

I didn’t follow that at all. That page shows the change in stock price for the companies, not the unrealized gain/loss from short positions. That doesn’t tell us how their portfolio has performed, but it suggests they have a good track record of calling losers. What am I missing?

Not adding generics, if you dig through the archives, was a pragmatic choice. Partly it was to help the process of language design, partly it was project management, and partly it was due to technical constraints. Generics is a big, complex feature. The team was prioritizing getting the most immediately valuable features shipped first, and didn’t want the introduction of generics to hit their limited resources too hard or distract from getting the fundamentals right. Generics implementations in existing languages at the time also made trade offs/interactions that weren’t appropriate for go.
Your implication, presumably, being that it is factually a poor way to judge character.

I'm trying to put some numbers on it

Let's imagine the bottom level of the mittlestand as 2.4M pa revenue - call that 200k pmth, 40/400 licenses at 500/5k. I think that is the barest level.

Now there is very little technology risk in most B2B saas. (Inam not talking about fusion startups here. That's what VC/gov is truly useful).

But a team of 2-5 people at 100k pa is feasible here.

This is not VC shoot for the moon, but it is also not worth putting in 2 years of runway (400k-1M) for equity. But it is worthwhile as a loan.

So IMO VC money could start handing out ridiculously low interest rate loans with big forgiveness clauses (dies with the bankruptcy of company?). The founder takes the equity swap or the loan depending on their vision of future. Add in some conversion later on and it seems one way to divide the market

I suppose the point is, if you have 100M to invest, which is riskier - 100 1M investments or 1 100M investment? And if you wait till later stages before deciding you probably miss out.
I can't see the article because it redirects to (through?) a blacklisted tracking domain: https://guce.advertising.com/collectIdentifiers.

It also makes us Europeans feel underpaid :) I have 20 years of experience and don't even make six figures. $350000 base pay sounds like a different world.

Tell HN: Don't Use Cloudflare
We are a reasonably medium sized company, with very tight IT budget. We were previously on GCP, CF sales team saw us use the free version and were happy to onboard us to their business plan ($200/mo). Now, after a year and half roughly, CF wants to move us to the Enterprise plan, claiming we are consuming a lot more bandwidth than what is "allowed" for the business plan and that they won't be able to provide us good uptime % at this rate.

A lot of this stuff wasn't communicated when we signed up for the business plan. There was no mention of limits, nor any contracts nor fineprint. The business plan was pitched to us as if it was the only plan we would ever need. And now, CF wants us to pay $3000-4000 a month which we clearly don't have budget for. I checked their fineprint, it says nothing about any limitations whatsoever. If you go to their pricing page, https://www.cloudflare.com/plans/business/ even that doesn't talk about anything of this sort.

I'm not saying CF is bad, but, their sales tactics are shady and there was a lot of integration done on our backends to migrate from GCP to CF. This really has left a sour taste in my mouth. If they had just been upfront, I could have saved all this pain and money.

Do you know of any alternatives to CF? If I can convince my top execs to afford $3000 a month, I want to make sure it's on something else and not on CloudFlare. Pretty sure this $3000 a month will be increased to additional for some other excuse later as I don't trust them anymore.
I was thinking of Google Cloud CDN, but it doesn't look cheap. We do about 200-300TB a month as per CF reports.

Any suggestions are much appreciated.
Yep, that's true! We do allow people to search by skills/tech stack in our job search but there's probably more we can do here to more tightly integrate our tech stack information with our skill information.
Most luxury bags are a few grand tops, not 100s. I'm sure they exist but that's not the norm. That's like someone buying a custom made $10 million Ferrari. Very rare.

Nah, it doesn't matter whether this is constitutional or not, because it isn't actually intended to pass. It's just typical grandstanding. (I'm pretty sure that neither party actually wants to shorted copyright to 56 years)
> I wouldn't ever expect to see a hub where the usb-c ports pass on the full thunderbolt capabilities.

Thunderbolt is specifically designed to permit daisy chaining (unlike USB). So it's actually quite normal for a device to pass Thunderbolt through to another, as well themselves being a Thunderbolt device.
Honestly I've been asking for more pay to come into the office from companies I'm interviewing at because rent is skyrocketing and my competition when trying to buy a home even within an hour of most of these offices is on the order of $100k-$300k + appraisal. My rent should be 1/3 of what I take home.
Regarding time zones: it seems if a company will accept any time zone, the site lists them all? Saying "any" or "all" would be much clearer.
I use it on biztoc.com with a one-year expiration cookie — It sends you a direct magic link and a manual ~2hour pin that you can copy/paste. pin with a "—" separator for readability which gets ignored during validation.

It's adding a small percent overhead in exchange for making it routable over a hub. Without the extra header it requires dedicated lanes.

The difference is like storing money in a physical safe where you still own the values, vs on a bank account where you are a creditor.

People would prefer to store crypto in the first type of institution.
I look at the perks a role offers and ignore any that don't apply to me, and I'm nowhere near clever enough to work for Google. I'm just a bit surprised that people who work at Google wouldn't do the same.

I don't feel underpaid, but I definitely feel like I've lost tons of ground in the last 2 years.

The floor has risen big time. Entry level jobs are paying up to 60k these days, whereas they were closer to 30k a few years back. Good for them, seriously. But watching the floor rise closer to you is never a great feeling.

I'm not sure investing in glorified ponzi schemes qualifies as doing more interesting things in with their money.

And then a bit above, one of the person interviewed spent 10,000 a year on replicas.
Isn's this the last 20% of performance being expensive and the last 1% prohibitively so? I imagine for high-end leather, you are raising 10 animals for 1 ending up having skin without any bruises etc.

Speculation: Then, in the end, this explains maybe 1/3 of the pricing, the next 1/3 is marketing (prime real estate in metropolises, extensive sponsoring, one store employee per customer, a doormen, ...) and finally some nice profit margin, looking at you LMVH.
Ballerina is quite interesting and its flexible structural typing seems to make it a great fit for solutions that weave together multiple services.

One thing that the article does not highlight is the interop story [1]. It is currently hosted on JVM, but that is supposedly intended to be an implementation detail. So unlike Kotlin explicit ffi bindings are needed. This may create some friction for early adopters, but I guess is necessary if the type system is substantially different from the java type system. This will hopefully also make ballerina applications more portable if alternative implementations emerge in future.

An iPhone is also quite a technological challenge, yet Apple doesn't spend nearly as much making it as people are willing to pay. Same goes with these bags, they are a luxury item that people will pay far over the production cost for. You literally buy them to show how much money you have, so it's the brand doing most of the work, and the bag-making process just needs to be somewhat professional.

From what I gather the factories in China that make the real thing will also make extra copies of the real thing, thus making it extremely hard to tell the difference.

The social element is maybe the most interesting, it's like a hobby for these ladies. What I've noticed through my life is there's always people who do some kind of cottage buying-and-selling on the side: friends who buy luxury watches, collectible cards, used cars, restoring old laptops. There's something universal about that instinct. Being socialites it makes sense they gather about this particular thing.
I wasn’t too sure based on the docs:

What parts of tokens does the server store in the Database (everything but the raw long token I think?)

What is sent to the consumer, and what do they need to send with the request?
The reason I'm still a bit skeptical about password-less authentication is because the cost savings opportunity is enormous. So enormous that it would be easy to lose sight of everything else.

About a third of Yahoo Japan's customer support requests where password inquiries -- the FIDO Alliance estimates the cost of a single password reset inquiry at $70.

It's hard to look at those numbers as a manager with bottom line responsibility and not want to go full password-less.

But as a startup your main interest should usually be growth, cost reduction is best addressed after you hit a critical mass.

It feels like the jury is still out on whether password-less converts better -- this article says it does, but doesn't go into depth. Anecdotally it seems to frustrate a lot of people (me included).

Password-less may be great, I just know that in enterprise the support cost savings are going to distort or render all other arguments moot. We have a long history of ideas that have come out of FAANG, worked well for them, and been cargo-culted into the rest of the world where they promptly turned out to be a bad choice.

Indeed, it's the chipsets that are the limit. The IP is complex, so there's no one who really wants to design whole new cut-down silicon to implement a "simple" USB 3 dock with fewer features to sell for less money. And since the chipset supports it, and technically you can't certify it as USB 3 without it (not that all these devices are fully certified), you might as well just use what the chipset gives you. In fact, in terms of implementation, that's probably the easiest as you just follow the reference design. So that's what they do.
Most tech workers in Europe _are_ underpaid (sample size: 1, me, an American living and working in the tech industry in Europe).
Turns out, just because something stays stable during peaceful times doesn't mean it's stable at all. And, indeed, looking at the mechanism by which UST was supposedly guaranteed to remain stable, it's clear that this day was inevitable.
Poster here. Two quotes from the article:

> By 2021, more than two-thirds of SA’s electricity came from variable renewable generation, more than in any developed economy we know of.

> This has had a big impact on prices. From having long had the highest wholesale prices in the National Electricity Market, by 2021 SA had almost the lowest.

Background: SA, aka the state of South Australia, has no coal deposits unlike the rest of the country. Australia is a big place, so getting transmission lines to there is expensive.
In early America you just built your log cabin with an axe and an adze.
So the concept of a prepaid sim card doesn't exist?
Exactly my thought when I read the title. I know the cost of living is higher in US but I'm always baffled by how much tech workers make on the other side of the pond. To me it sounds like a dream.
There's no way in hell it's close to 8x.

Just crunched the numbers, and an 8x mortgage would exceed my monthly take home.

I felt pretty uncomfortable at 2.5x. I feel a lot of people are probably extending out to 4 or even 5, but 8 would be irresponsible and I doubt you could even find a lender for that.
We should also make vim non-modal by default. Pressing characters and not getting output? Now __that__ is weird. I can't believe anybody new even tries it.
> The Registry sounds like a great concept but it's the worst architectural decision Microsoft ever made for Windows.

The idea is great, the problem is with the implementation. You can’t have a configuration database so central to your system and then implement it using a fragile database engine that breaks itself all the time.
Almost a classic example of a Veblen good. The demand doesn't increase uniformly as the price increases, but they'd probably sell fewer if they cut the price in half.

They've clearly found the sweet spot in the overall profitability curve, somewhere in the six-figure range.
