It's mostly because the political culture of SF is trying to solve a mental health issue in compromising way, because the real solution set is not a local level thing, but a state and federal level thing. It's same with the current DA, trying to activist create an alternative to arrest vs. using social workers, while such a solution needs more than the power of the DA's office to properly implement. So you get half-assed solutions that don't actually solve anything much.

Also pure corruption. You'll notice there are a bunch of regions where the homeless roam, and bunch where they do not, and there are very good reasons as to why that is the case.
Why do you keep referring to them as projects, why not call them schemes which is much more apt

Questions should be communicated mostly in open chat so everybody can learn from them. Then later others can answer the same question for you. Operational roles should be rotated as well so people can concentrate.
This time. A fire on board a vessel is highly dangerous and should always be avoided if possible. If a car was the cause of the fire, additional safety measures should be implemented on these types of vessel to potentially save the lives of the crew.
Can we say a country is a community? Then many such communities are working really well today still. The biggest problem when a community grows is the partitioning of this community, a successful big community is the one which found a way to union many smaller communities around one idea and make the whole system work together. Your examples are touching only commercial businesses for some reason. Community there is just a hoax to _engage_ you, utilising your prime urges to connect and communicate with people. Commercial business only goal is to get more coverage and cash flow really, so they choose growth strategies to get their service more drug-alike but they can't (and probably don't want to) build a great community pursuing these.

I'm in Denmark, which I would not have expected to be the simplest place for taxes, but evidently it must be because I don't have any of these problems you do with VAT, although I only invoice one time per month it's true so maybe that is the difference.
I couldn't support this more. Daniel has done a fantastic job and if the project has money it should pay for yhd hosting and admin.

I would say that as any small "business" matures it should start paying for all the stuff that others are paying (directly or indirectly).

Apart from anything else it encourages long-term sustainability that outlast individuals.

Heroku didn't failed, they have been a huge innovative solution for a world generation in of developers. As a CEO and developer myself, I do believe that the next gen platform would be based on a similar experience as Heroku, but on top of the best cloud service providers.

E.g: Qovery.com is the Heroku-like experience on top of AWS

Probably because IQ, while a poor measure of general intelligence, is a really good proxy measure for socioeconomic status.
You are by yourself and will never understand the solidarity that workers have in each other. That communities have in each other if this is how you view life.
This reminded me of the famous 1993 paper by Sagan et al[1] where they used the Galileo probe to try to detect life on Earth through analysing the spectra of the athmosphere and detecting chemical concentrations that could only be explained by life(or that's the hope anyway).

For me the most exciting prospect of the JWST is the ability to analyse the spectra of atmospheres around exoplanets. We could have tantalising evidence of extrasolar life in just a few years.

I totally see your sentiment about Portugal but not sure you can then confidently arrive at the conclusion “no matter the country you’re in”. When something is dysfunctional in one country that doesn’t suggest it’s the same in every other country? I’m sure Scandinavian countries also have their issues but folks living there might generally dislike their high taxation less than in Southern Europe.
I think you need a new value each year, otherwise of course if the economy goes well people will buy your land off you cheaply.

So you get to decide your tax each year but if you save yourself too much someone else will grab the excess value.

Daniel has sincerely enriched all of our lives, and I will support him with virtually any decision he makes. I'm not entirely sure what he means in this by "server hosting and management" though. Like, will he operate a data center? Is there context for this that I haven't read about?
3.7v but they charge to 4.2v, but it doesn't matter, because the dynamo is going to produce variable voltages and currents. so it's going to go through a boost-buck converter and that will output 4.2v at whatever current it can.

A quick search shows Garg's net worth is ~4B. Despite previous actions he deserves some amount of respect IMO for putting his own money on the line here.
It's a small enough group that I'm likely personally identifiable anyway, so will be vague and try to stick to public info and my personal conjecture.

Let's just say that the legal shenanigans of the time caused me to lose my job (part of the sale of Imagination Technologies required closing some countries offices to avoid more interference from various regulatory bodies). Judge bias accordingly.

And all their noise about "Ground up redesign using no PowerVR tech" kinda conflicts with them still to this day paying for an architecture license - the very thing that they claimed they would be dropping in their press release that caused the imagination technologies share crash and corresponding sale. And this is without even going to court - they issued a press release then immediately relented (and have continued to relent for over 5 years now) at the slightest question. And then scrubbed all mention of that press release.

My general suspicion is apple intended to game the market by intentionally dropping the share price and simply purchase PowerVR at a discount - but in the process pissed off enough people that they rejected the offer, even if it was "better" in terms of value. Or just let them go under and pick everything they want off the resulting fire sale - I heard rumors that apple had already put in an offer to purchase the company that was rejected, and under UK regulation a failed takeover attempt can't be re-attempted for some time, that much of this happened within (again, according to fuzzy scuttlebutt, nothing definite)

That or the legal/C-suite of apple don't actually speak to the engineers of apple anymore - they honestly thought that it was a completely ground-up design that didn't derive anything from PowerVR tech, and just send out the press release thinking "Why are we paying for this??" - then the engineers shuffled in saying that actually they couldn't put together anything better that wasn't a direct derivative, and their noise about a completely internally designed-from-scratch apple GPU was a bit of a stretch.
I mean, the female hyena gives birth through the clitoris. Not all evolutionary decisions are optimal for the individual. Some are just horrifying and weird.
1) I didn't joke about that, but about being an NSA agent trading inappropriate pictures.

2) I agree that it's an obscene joke. My humor tends to the gallows and tends to get me in trouble, particularly with those who don't have one

3) but you know what's even more obscene? NSA's warrantless mass surveillance. NSA analysts trading pictures. A joke about it is not the thing.

4) That's an argument against literally any joke. To generalize your argument: "thing isn't funny because bad things happen". "It's not funny to joke about chickens crossing roads because unexpected animal crossings cause thousands of deaths every year!" That's you.
You don't know the equation you came up with is correct, but it is at least describable, so if someone doesn't like it they can live elsewhere I guess, or argue about it at the next town hall session. If a bad equation is designed, then that's a problem, but it is a general bad governance problem that effects everyone, rather than an arbitrary lightning-strike problem like a bad assessment.

Floor plan or paint color -- the point of a land value tax is that it is based on the value of the land. Floor plan and paint color would be improvements on the property, so they would be excluded.

Agreed. Argumentation is defensive by nature; by asserting any contradiction one could be described as “defensive.”

It’s a nothing rhetorical gambit and a pretty bald one at that.

Iq is a course and imperfect metric, but it is a decent proxy or general intelligence.

I think that to do the actual 'ro-ro' (roll on roll off) they are shipping the cars with a decent bit of charge in the battery for the roll-off stage.

It would probably help a lot to ship them with less charge.
Thanks for sharing @mstef9! I somehow missed this one in my research. I'm a huge fan of all efforts to make Go a serious contender for building full-stack web applications.

Ent is a nice choice for the ORM. For models, I'm planning to go with a combo of sqlc + xo. I want to tie the DB schema to your application.

> I think what you meant to imply is that it’s not backed 1:1. This isn’t only an issue with Tether. This is the case with any fractional reserve banking system.

There is a minor difference, though. On a typical fractional reserve bank the deposits are backed by assets worth more than what is the worth of the deposits.[1] Not only that, there are other liabilities that take the possible losses before the deposits are being hit.

On a typical stablecoin, there is a reason to suspect that the coins are backed by assets worth less than the market cap of the stablecoin.

The difference may seem subtle, but it is a difference of a legitimate business and a despicable scam.

[1] In case you are interested, you can go and check the balance sheet of any bank you want. The part where the value of excess assets to back the liabilites of the bank (deposits etc) is listed under "Equity"

I just spent time driving through the gulf coast and came to a similar conclusion. Have you all seen Mobile, for example? Oil rigs as far as the eyes can see. Stopped by the gas station to see these poor, filthy men counting change to buy tea and cigarettes.

It made me really think...these people work way, way harder than me on something way more important to society (right now). Why are they so mistreated? Why do whole cities , usually poor, have to deal with the eyesore and potential health issues of oil and gas? And why do oil companies, who are unmistakably the richest in the world, pay less than tech companies who lose money each year?

It just feels like some weird, giant imbalance. If you asked me today whether I'd rather go without Twitter, FB, and Netflix...or gas and plastics, sorry, you lose Silicon Valley.

I don't have any answers or even suggestions, just thoughts and questions for now.
> you can certainly time the market using "buy and hold", by waiting for the right moment to buy.

Yes that is timing the market because you wait for a certain time point, as opposed to just buy once you have enough liquidity.

> Dollar-cost averaging is a form of timing the market

No it’s not. It’s like saying passive is a form of active investment because some group of people pick the stocks that come into an index. Timing the market is betting on a given change, while dollar cost averaging is based on empirical analysis and is independent of the events the investor thinks will happen.

I mean the difference is actually simple and clear. One investor is telling “I bet something will happen soon“, the other “I have no idea what will happen”. It could hardly be more clear cut.
I was comparing it to a Heathkit versus a pre-built PC, suggesting that there's a nascent industry of a lower barrier to entry for the sbc/Arduino hobbyist market forming in the same way that the microcomputer world of 1977 was a way way different than 1974 - you could just buy a thing and plug it in - no assembly code or assembling parts required.

It's an interesting marketing play. I wasn't suggesting people go out and make it themselves instead. Do it if you want. Buy the thing if you want. Whatever
> Again, that is your specific opinion that is not shared by everyone.

Well, the market agreed with you up until few months ago, now it really does seem like we had quite a few bullshit companies. Not all of them of course, but lots.

They are tax hells. Crypto has been such a special case in Germany, which feels much more an exception than the norm.
It’s absolutely incredible that such a critical piece of infrastructure has to make such an announcement. Many companies that depend on Curl would spend $12K on a new rug for the office.
Well there's an active community of people writing their own operating systems. Why do that when Linux is available? I don't think a further reason is required for the hobbyist.

But there are various actual products which result from efforts to create a minimal forth that are interesting. One of my favorites is the J1 CPU: https://www.excamera.com/sphinx/fpga-j1.html

Also I think many of these personal forths have explored interesting areas of programming language design, and when I have read about those which have been made public I often learn something new. It's like code poetry.
I have been using the previous hisense a5 for years, it is absolutely wonderful. Maybe the Smallest ereader you can buy, with all of my note taking apps. Best way to read hacker news and my rss in the morning.

One caveat: I waited to buy mine until some one discovered a way to jailbreak. I have AFWall firewall so that no apps can connect to the internet without my whitelisting, which makes me feel better about all the Chinese crap. I also meticulously removed as much of the default apps as I could permanently, and disabled the rest.

I am dreaming of a Google pixel or Apple device with epaper so that I can trust it as a daily driver for everything.
Thanks for sharing @sunfmin!

> A more appropriate methodology would take into account wet bulb temperatures,

Are there any recommendations for accurate API accessible wet-bulb temperatures across the world?

I've been looking at this website for India[1] during the heatwave and I'm not sure whether its accurate. Also, is there any reproducible DIY project to measure wet bulb temperature with a digital output for daily use.

Whatever the soviet union was or wasn't, it was still a society. Making such exaggerated claims makes it difficult to lend the rest of your arguments any credence.
It probably makes more sense to carry three pounds of batteries. Small wind turbines that are close to the ground hardly produce any power. Or two pounds of batteries and a small solar panel.
Fuel is also carried by special ships with extra precautions, but electric cars are carried just like normal cars without any extra safety.
To be fair, many (all?) of these ships are burning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_fuel_oil, which is not at all like petrol in that it requires preheating and atomisation to burn.
Yeah it’s a pretty surreal feeling especially considering how Germany has an absolutely antiquated system on startup stock options that would simply tax your potential gains to oblivion, which ranks bottom in Europe together with Belgium.

Any recommendations off the top of your head?
> First, you need a minimal, standardized markup language for sending documents around

> Then, you need a browser.

I can't not think of the Alan Kay talk "The computer revolution hasnt happened yet" from 25 years ago. Some quotes:

"HTML on the internet has gone back to the dark ages because it presupposes there should be a browser that understands its format."

"...ever more complex HTML formats, ever more intractable."

"You don't need a web browser".

And in fact, this was correct? The model that we have, now has a spec so enormous, that it's common knowledge that it's impossible to build a new browser from scratch (although maybe somebody can prove common knowledge wrong). And having document nodes that create a DOM tree might be useful for... something... but it has proven to be a gigantic obstacle in delivering content on the web. Almost everything we do today tries to ditch this because it's just so complicated, but all the frameworks that work around this give us magic and deal with it in the background. It's therefore still slow and it will always be slow.

So maybe to fix things we should try something other than what we already had that didn't work.
> It's irresponsible to bid 20% over what the house is worth . . . emotionally attached

If you are young it can be perfectly sensible to bid far more for a home you love. An “overpayment” is paid over many years of happy living, which can be a worthwhile trade.

Living in a cheap economically sensible shithole for too many years is a bad idea, unless you have no other choice financially. The problem is making sure you buy a home that makes you happy. Overcapitalisation is sensible if you can afford it, and if you truely do get valuable pleasure from living in your home.

Yes, do take care to avoid the mistake of buying a home and getting chained into a situation you end up hating.
That sounds like such an ideology-driven answer. Wonder if you’ve actually personally experienced working and living in both places.
This article is not about if EVs are safe. It's about the fact that putting out a fire when batteries are involved is hard.

Every week there is a fire on a cargo ship. Most are not caused by the cargo. But when the cargo catches fire you want to be able to put it out before the whole ships turns into scrap.
no matter the brand, being hot while charged wears capacitors out.

drop the operating temperature of a capacitor by 10°C and you extend the life by 10x. The inverse is also true.

Crappy caps will die more quickly than top of the line capacitors, but they'll all die eventually.

I feel like people are going to keep using FAANG for a good while just because 1) MAMAA is not as recognizable yet, and 2) FAANG has the generalized meaning of "big tech company" and most people get that
There is some amount of non-trivial work that goes into keeping the lights on for a large and popular project such as this. I imagine the $12k/yr goes to paying for his time and availability to manage this setup with a small portion of that paying for what is not sponsored directly. There are also probably other hosted services that this would cover.

$1,000/mo is such a small amount in the grand scheme of things, a rounding error to even a medium-sized, revenue-generating company.
Examples were given about how those things are accomplished today.

Develop Text Sending Application
Hey There,

I have a quick question for developer communities. Actually, I am going to develop a text-sending application. And the main requirement is-

CASE-1: If the receiver doesn’t install the application the text message should be sent into the text message to their SMS box.

CASE-2: It should be not necessary that the sender and receiver both have the application.

Please suggest me some ideas? How can I develop an application if my client asks for this requirement!

If you have any ideas, we can work together!
