The Ukrainians will definitely take some losses, but nations defending themselves from an attack have higher motivation to bear them. Plus, the worst danger for Ukraine - indiscriminate shelling of cities such as Kyiv and Kharkhiv, where a lot of civilians live - has receded with the failure of both Russian offensives. Russia does not have enough missiles to turn entire metropolitan areas into rubble, and conventional artillery can only shoot so far.

Americans usually do not riot over money spent on the armed forces, otherwise the Iraq and Afghanistan campaigns would have led to a country collapse back home - both were an order of magnitude more expensive. I would even say that Americans are, of all the Western nations, the most complacent about high military spending.

Inflation and supply shortages are a real thing, yes. Definitely worrisome. But if Russia can be knocked down from their imperial madness for some decades, I'll buy it. Things look a lot different from behind the former Iron Curtain, where I am from; being under Russian yoke for decades will make you say "Never Again". Of all the tyrannies of Central Europe, only the Nazis were worse than the rule of the Kremlin.

I do not particularly care about Saudi Arabia (IMHO it is not our ally, but a major source of terrorism and extremism, exporting Wahhabist and Salafist ideology by the truckload) nor Mexico. (What reason would Mexico even have to join any pro-Russian coalition?) UN is generally a corrupt sham where the most useless diplomats and politicians of the world are disposed of.

Yes, I think that both Ukraine and its backers are by now invested enough that they will persist until they break the capability of Russia to engage in war. European land wars are like that and always have been. Americans may view things differently, because their wars are usually fought abroad. For Europe, war is an unpleasant, but historically familiar phenomenon, and countries generally only surrender if they really cannot fight anymore.

Which is the state I expect Russia to reach sooner. Their logistics are abysmal, their industry isn't in a state to support such attrition, and there isn't a single industrially developed country on Earth willing to throw material support behind them. They can get Eritrea to vote with them in the UN, but Eritrea won't supply them with tanks and planes.

And the only major power that was their hope, China, does not look willing to shackle itself to the corpse of a dying empire.
Many (most?) employers ask if you are disabled when filling out a job application. I personally don't consider myself disabled, but I have one of the conditions that is listed as a disability in this question. I never know what to put. I thought it wouldn't matter if I just said, yes, that I'm disabled, since I literally have one of the conditions listed, but people online who work in hiring say I will most likely be discriminated against if I do that. Sure, it's illegal, but companies do that anyway, apparently.

I wonder if the answer to the disability question is something the AI uses when evaluating candidates, and if it has learned to just toss out anyone who says yes?

> Fame and wealth does some weird stuff to people.

This is the crucial point. Power corrupts, a painful fact long established. Therefore, when the power and wealth of an individual grows, they deserve more scrutiny and criticism. You don't "give them a break because they're human". The self-preservation of society and freedom itself demands that we closely scrutinize the powerful. If you don't want to be scrutinized like that, then it's easy to avoid becoming a leader. It's a cliche, but with great power comes great responsibility, and Musk is still acting like a child half the time, egged on by a legion of equally childish fans.

Perhaps you're not aware that the number of Italian-Americans is almost half of the population of Italy. My two favorite pizza shops in my town? They're both owned and run by Italian families. This is the norm, not the exception. They even grow their own tomatoes! This isn't always the case for the national pizza chains, but you'll be hard-pressed to find an American claiming these chains are their favorite pizza (sadly, they do exist - but they're not the majority!)

It was Italian Americans who developed the New York Slice. It was Sicilians who developed the Chicago Deep Dish. You call it cultural appropriation. I call it immigrants bringing their food with them and further developing it.

Does that make pizza American? Well, I've noticed most of what the english-speaking world calls "pizza" is actually a pizza of Italian-American origin, not the Neapolitan pizza hailing from Naples. I think this is what the OP was referring to.

I don't think it's weird. I know a lot about the life of Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy and Bernie Madoff, but that doesn't mean that I like them. Not trying to compare Musk to a serial killer or a Ponzi schemer, but my point is that I think most of his critics will acknowledge that he's an interesting person, even if they think he's a douchebag.

I would generally consider upper class to be wealthy, of course it's not a very specific term, individual definitions are going to vary greatly. A successful SV engineer old enough to have kids can easily be worth a few $million. That seems wealthy to me, but it's a subjective measure. I guess you could survey a bunch of people to try & get consensus on it, and evaluate the benchmark from there.
One thing I really like about this new Elon is, while he is liberal, he's more real. There are a lot of liberals playing a part - like towing the liberal line. However a lot of ACTUAL liberals in person might be like, shit let's stop abortion or lets stop illegal immigration or lets cheer black people but I don't want everyone on TV to be black (I'm not saying all of them - but real people have actual opinions like that). There's too much focus on hyper liberalism or LEFTism right now and I rather think the word is not unhinged it's REAL. Same REAL that elected Trump.

Take away the chain and you are on the slippery slope to electric motorcycle. This thing is clearly meant for an electric moped. Up the batter/motor power a little and the human input becomes irrelevant. You are then driving an electric motorcycle with some pedals for topping up the battery. Absent the chain-to-pedal drive, the only difference become e-bike and e-motorcycle is some arbitrary line about battery/motor capacity.

Alfalfa is one of the most water efficient and nutritionally rich crops there is. It is also one of the most drought resistant crops. It is hearty and reliable, unlike corn which is far more wasteful when it comes to water.

> Deep-Rootedness—alfalfa roots are commonly 3-5 feet deep and can extend to 8-15 feet in some soils. Therefore this crop can utilize moisture residing deep in the profile when surface waters become scarce. It shares this property with crops such as orchards, vineyards, and sugarbeets and safflower, unlike crops such as onion, lettuce and corn, where it's easy to lose water past the root zone.

> Alfalfa's deep roots are capable of extracting water from deep in the soil, thus much of the water applied is not wasted. Additionally, deep roots enable the crop to survive periodic droughts.

> Perenniality—The fact that the crop grows for 4-8 years, grows quickly with warm conditions in the spring is a major advantage of alfalfa—it can utilize residual winter rainfall before irrigation is necessary. This is unlike summer-grown annual crops that need to be replanted each year (water use efficacy is low during this time). In many areas, the first cutting of alfalfa of the year requires zero irrigation– supported only by rain and residual soil moisture.

> Very High Yields—Alfalfa is a very high yielding crop, and can grow 365 days a year in warm regions (such as the Imperial Valley of California and southern Arizona). Its biomass yields are very high—we can get up to 12 cuttings per year in those regions, and growers with top management can obtain more than 14 tons/acre dry matter yields. High-yields create higher water use efficiencies.

> High Harvest Index, High Water Use Efficiency—Alfalfa's Water Use Efficiency is not only due to high yields, but because nearly 100% of the above-ground plant material is harvested (known as the harvest index). In most seed-producing and fruiting crops, only a portion of the plant is harvested (typically 30-50% of the total plant biomass).

I've got the same type of deal here. I just worry about skills getting outdated since I'm only working on an in-house system and doing mostly maintenance. But perhaps that fear is overblown.

I could easily hop to a gig with more responsibility and more opportunity for increasing my skills - but also more stress.
I started becoming concerned about peterth3 when I read his HN comment in 2022.

He started diagnosing people online either without meeting them or knowing them personally. It's sad in some ways. I'm sure he's a decent engineer but he'd be 10x happier and more effective if he focused on himself and not trying to find fault in others.

This story looks like a repetition of the playbook seen in Berlin along all these years. Once defined the Startup Heaven, now the housing market is hotter than ever and rents are skyrocketing too.

A lot of people can't deal or afford the rent anymore, building new apartments is going at a slow pace and whenever a new housing project comes out, it's already sold out. Some houses have reached the 1 Million Euro price.

Lisbon is set to follow this same path which will make everything worse for people already living there.
Of course, but that's a different problem. There are plenty of engineers earning $250k at FAANG who were good enough at grinding leetcode to get their foot in the door but aren't producing anywhere near that much value. Or NNPPs hiding out in Fortune 500 companies quietly pulling in $120k for decades. Sure it's annoying CEOs can be paid so much while failing utterly, or conversely that they can succeed by luck or circumstance that they don't deserve credit for. At the end of the day though, a good CEO can be the difference between life and death for billion dollar companies often enough that the market is what it is.
> From a selfish standpoint, this type of system discourages spontaneous trips. When I did my road trip three years ago, I already noticed the trend of mandating an RSVP for any activity. I am not against any RSVPs as I understand the concept of resource protection, but with a greed-based system with profit and not sustainability as its goal, there are fewer incentives to set aside spots for walk-ups.

The increased demand makes `walk-ups` a logistical headache for workers (volunteers) on the ground. If there are X amount of campsites available as first-come-first-served, the campground host then has to spend time turning away people all day when those spots get filled by 9am.

I'm not certain what the solution is for bringing the type of spontaneity back that many people crave, but the reservation system is in place for a reason. Crazy demand for nature.

There are places where cattle can free-range and graze, and grass can be cut during the summer to feed them in the winter. I live next door to such a farm. I doubt they use any water that doesn't fall from the sky.

> This would never happen with a macOS update, which uses an immutable root file system and APFS containers to switch the root after an update.

There are still things that cannot be interrupted like flashing firmware blobs, on many devices. Before apple distributed updates using FS snapshots they would reboot the machine first and block the user with a message that it cannot be interrupted.

It's also not a completely free or well implemented solution because (even as an x-apple user) I am made patently aware of just how absurdly huge their updates are, even for the smallest patch... incremental distribution and immutable FS based updates are not fundamentally incompatible, so I guess Apple simply doesn't respect user's bandwidth or assumes all of their customers have gigabit downlinks for the exclusive use of Apple devices.
Edison wasn't necessarily an inventor either.

That said if you're a patron of inventors then you are an inventor. If you can manage the pain of failing and failing and failing, then in my book you're creative and a co-inventor.
>Edison

I agree, and think of him in much the same was as I think of Edison. It's strange how polarizing a figure Musk is. It seems like a majority of people (or maybe a vocal minority) either want to attribute every single thing to his own personal genius, no help from others or good fortune. While others view everything he's accomplished as nothing more than luck born out on the backs of other people's labor. I don't know where the balance lies between those two extremes but I doubt that either one is very accurate.
My experience is that, when under oath in a deposition, doctors tend to be very noncommittal on the diagnosis.

Not that not having backups is something that you can sue the company for as an investor. If you say we have the June 2020 version, but not the july one you asked for you are fine, (it is reasonable to have save daily backups for a month, monthly backups for a year, and then yearly backups). Though even then I might be able to sue you for not having version control of the code.
Have you seen a high-end bike? The gears have batteries, electric motors, microcontrollers, and sensors. You'll also find wireless power meters, GPS, and even radar sensors for traffic on a contemporary bike.

You get the idea. At the leading edge, bicycles are already extremely complicated. If we're comparing this idea to a bicycle from 2002, it's complicated. But I'm not sure that it's that complicated compared to the kind of bike you'd find in the roof rack of an Audi S4 Wagon :-)
you're not missing anything. they don't outperform normal solar panels. The difference is that this might be easier to set up and maintain in an area with limited technological development.

One of the most extraordinary things today is that solar panels are now so efficient that you can collect light across the whole solar spectrum, then feed that to LEDs that emit in exactly the spectrum that plants want, so you can actually grow more plant yield with less light than they would outside in direct sunlight.

Regeneration on a bicycle is only possible on hub motors, which usually have a planetary gearset to have acceptable low-end torque, and that gearset has significant drag.

Mid-drive bicycles are able to leverage the freewheel, and thus have very high coasting efficiency.

You don't really seem to know much about this. It's odd that you seem to have formed strong opinions on said subject.

There is fierce competition in the industry for efficiency/range/price...not really sure why you think you can just casually stroll in and go "well DUH, folks, just do..."
For some of the things the author complains about there really are no good options. You can only shove so many people up the Half Dome cables on any given day or so many campsites in Yosemite Valley before it becomes a nightmare. You can't just build more of the experiences people are looking for in national parks like you can build taller buildings in a city. So your options are to ration by price (which NPS/etc generally don't do), to ration by luck (lotteries for e.g. Half Dome), or to ration by ability to plan ahead (far-in-advance reservations for campgrounds). None of these are great but what is the alternative?
