It's more like "passwords are startlingly dumb". Yes, they're conceptually simple. No, they're not so hard to do right. But! They are not ergonomic, relevant, or good solutions for the problems they solve.

If authentication is important, you probably shouldn't be relying on passwords for it. If authentication isn't important, you're just draining attention and energy from more important things, and promoting password-laziness and auth-fatigue.

Far too often, authentication is just another hassle, more of an antipattern than a benefit or necessity.
This reminds me (in somewhat the opposite direction) of the circular processes at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), which has broad powers over interstate electricity, hydro, and natural gas pipelines.

Unlike the SEC that goes after industry, FERC has frustrated thousands as a rubber stamp for industry and aggressive granting of eminent domain.

These agencies are in desperate need of balance with the courts.
Controversial opinion but I think we should all be reading way more primary sources and way fewer news articles.
Thanks for referring to Fairphone. I didn't know they existed and am considering getting one.
The whole meat of it is on the first 2 pages. Pretty simply says the SEC violated the seventh amendment by not giving the plaintiff a jury trial

Yeah, I wouldn't call those new words in the sense that "geocaching" or "blockchain" were new words when they appeared. Was "Biden administration" a new word in 2020?
about time! I think the common circuits are too far up their own ass to just take a fresh view at simply questions. 2nd circuit and 9th circuit just see too much action. Get a panel of judges from Texas and Louisiana for once (5th circuit) and they took a fresh view and came to an understanding that matches a plain reading of the constitution.

there were a lot of barriers to this occurring though, which is a bigger issue.
Recall that PV panels are black. They get quite hot, almost certainly hotter than plain dirt would if uncovered. Plenty hot enough that you can't touch them for more than a moment.

So are military courts going to close down since we’ve now ended the Afghanistan war? Or is that comma before “militia” going to mean that the time of war phrase is on for people who in a militia?

The barrier to entry for a software company is nearly non-existent these days, where it's still really high for hardware. I can learn how to code, write an app, market and sell it all from a computer I can buy from Target or Walmart. Hardware is significantly harder to learn, then I'd have to source components, and scale beyond a prototype takes a significant amount of money. Scaling software is done with a button. You see more software made in the private sector because it's so much easier to do.

It would be wonderful if it came to be but I find that hard to believe. The UK peak electricity consumption is around 40GW, so that would be enough to supply 1.2B people at UK standards of living. In just 6 years the entire world’s electricity needs would be met. Unless they count hydrogen and synthetic fuel generation.
DoH does not prevent your ISP from seeing the IP addresses of the websites you visit. It only encrypts the requested url. It is not too difficult to figure out which IP addresses are from which websites and block or manipulate them.

Learned first hand when trying to visit adguard.com with DoH enabled at a relative's. Comcast's router blocked the website by recognizing adguard's unencrypted website IP address.

DoH is not really hiding anything from ISP's.
Very helpful. Seems like it could be a huge deal. Am curious what the impact from a caseload perspective would be? How many actions are handled on an administrative basis vs how much capacity the relevant court systems have? And impact on duration- administrative actions typically handled in x time, courts take y time. Would love pointers if anyone has them.
Probably a good idea to not let people pay their taxes with a credit card.
That is the fast way. Normally it should be aged when it's still a head of cheese and not a slice in someone's fridge. Far as I can tell that takes more than a year, just because it's such a big head of cheese. The advantage of aging a mere slice is that it ages many times faster.

Right, but there are a lot of federal agencies that adjudicate and potentially give out harsh fines without actually being a court. If you are in that situation you do not have the right to a jury trial, at least until this case was decided.

Yes, they do. You absolutely give up freedom of speech and any rights of unreasonable search and seizure when you enlist. You don't give up every right, though. You still get the option of a jury trial whenever you want one. A commander's ability to levy administrative punishment relies on you opting in. You always have the option to seek court martial instead, the issue being they can levy much more severe punishments.
A fresh take from judges that barely get any action is something this nation needs. The conservative part is a distraction.

There are other circuits across this vast land that get even less action. All circuits operate within a silo of case law within that circuit, with a much lower weighting towards precedent in other circuits, and an even lower weighting towards rulings further removed.

Just need inspiration to try!

Does this hold true when controlled for heat source? If we are pushing to be off fossil fuels, it'd be worth knowing how much we will need in order to convert all existing methane/propane/oil furnaces over to heat pumps, and what that looks like during cold winter nights.
Do you find your job fulfilling?
I currently work for an ecommerce company and I feel unfulfilled by my work.

I want to find a new job but when I look at most job postings it is the same type of work that would be exciting to me at first since its new, but once I learn it would become boring. I have only had two jobs one year at an insurance company and 4 years at this current job.

My theory is if I worked in a different business then I might feel that I am positively contributing to the world rather than just helping sell something.

I am not sure if it is the field or that I just wasn't cut out to be a software engineer. I find the most joy in helping others and helping people, plants, etc grow.

Could you share your experience with this? Or if you do find your job satisfying, could you let me know what field you are in?
Solar is meant to handle peak loads, but spread out over the full day and night. Its worst case peak winter output will need to exceed usage.

The future will mean energy abundance during most of the year. An S-curve of cost decline and deployments means even 1TW could be a low estimate
No. They absolutely do not.

The closest thing that's true is this: Constitutional rights are always weighed against some government interest, and there's a lot of deference to the military with regard to government interest. So there may be things on the margins which are unconstitutional in every or nearly every civilian case, but are constitutional in the context of the government's interest in national defense.

However, those rights still exist, and courts must still address those issues through the appropriate balancing test.

EDIT: A cornerstone case to read, for those interested, is Parker v. Levy: https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/417/733/
This is silly. A conservative opinion writer could write the exact same thing about the 9th circuit court.
Did you have one? Or work on it? Really cool either way. Pretty amazing how far sensor technology has come. I remember going to an Analog Devices presentation for their MEMS accelerometers around 1997. They gave out a dev board I think I might still have somewhere.

The biggest difference between the two is how it runs.

If you have many clusters then you get to chose between many or one argocd instance. We run a few argo instances that manage many clusters.

If you use flux, all of cluster needs to have access to github. If you run argo you can restrict it so that the argo cluster (which manages many others) only needs access.

You still have to have argo get access to the child clusters.

I prefer the simplicity of flux, I like the read only ui of argo.

The thing I really don't like about argocd is that you have to give the parent cluster admin to every cluster it manages. If you use git webooks you've now had to expose your controller that can manage your fleet to the public.

Argocd also randomly has really bad bugs show up. Like completely ignoring appsets. Or pathological syncing cases.
Until averaged renewable generating capacity entirely matches averaged demand, money spent on storage is mostly wasted, because to charge it up you would need to burn fossil fuels. It will be radically cheaper, soon enough.

That is why so little storage is being built, thus far. Costs for storage are falling even faster than wind or solar ever did, because there is nothing to be overcome except limits on scaling manufacturing. The physics of energy storage, chemical schemes excepted, are a matter of freshman physics, so the drive is only how to apply the same principles more cheaply.

Simplicity is the greatest virtue: if you can make a storage system with just one moving part, you have the makings of a winner. Many involve anchoring something to the sea floor: an air bladder with a hose to an air pump and turbine onshore, charged by pumping in air; a float with a cable down to a pulley, thence to a winch and motor/generator onshore, charged by dragging the float down to the bottom; an air tank with an electric pump/turbine just wired to shore, charged by evacuating the tank.

The overwhelming majority of storage will not be batteries, ever. But molten metal batteries have massive advantages over lithium, longevity and heat tolerance probably most important. Iron-air batteries are much cheaper.

Hydrogen and ammonia synthesis will not be as cheap as the others, but have the massive advantage that, because tankage is cheap and transportable, storage capacity is unlimited; and when as much tankage as you care to keep is full, any extra generating capacity yields a high-demand product, thus extra revenue. Furthermore, if your local storage gets looking likely to run dry, you just buy more.

Compatibility with existing natural gas generators is a plus; thus, compressed air, liquified nitrogen, hydrogen and ammonia. Burning something with compressed air increases efficiency.

Energy Vault is bald grift, the Theranos of storage.

> It is fantastically frustrating, as it makes wealth-building through home ownership impossible

I think this could bring up a debate: should we expect personal home ownership be a wealth-building tool? Is it the most ideal method of building personal wealth? The expectation that our home is an investment on top of being a place to live could perhaps be one of the factors in areas with a housing affordability crisis. It's in the best interest of the current homeowner to discourage development that would reduce costs for other buyers.

> houses in Japan are probably twice as expensive per unit area compared to the US

I don't see this as particularly alarming, as homes built in the US consume and waste a tremendous amount of space. I think about the typical single family suburban home's attached 2 or 3 car garage and how much of the home's sheltered space that feature takes up.

I also think about the American expectation for luxuries like walk-in closets, having more bathrooms than people, and rooms dedicated to "man caves" and other single-use pursuits. To me, the American suburban lifestyle represents a place to store excess goods consumption – the home is a place to store a bunch of stuff that ends up in the landfill.

Tokyo fits the entire population of California in an area the size of LA County, and I personally consider that to be more of a good thing than a bad thing. When we spread out we waste finite resources and emit carbon dioxide with personal vehicle travel and destroy more natural habitat.

> Did I also mention that a "big" housing lot is 1/20 of an acre? Usually no yard, just concrete.

Much of the overall plot of North American homes are consumed by driveways, yards, and dead space between homes that are usually completely unused for most of the day.

Yards and driveways are major contributors to car dependence and poor public transit in North America. Yards usually offer very little utility and sit unused most of the day, offering zero habitat for animals or people. They reduce walkability of neighborhoods by increasing walking distances between homes and in the street grid.

"But where will my kids play?" Probably at a communal playground, park, sports field, and really they're probably not going to be all that excited by an empty field in the front of your house.

Finally, I'll point out that to someone in a vertical housing unit like a residential tower, ground acreage is entirely irrelevant. I don't think the owner of the penthouse unit of 432 Park Avenue is upset that their home represents almost no acreage once the building's plot is divided by the quantity of residents.

Yeah, I've heard that much of the recycling campaigns from the late 80s were actually spearheaded by the plastics industry in what was ultimately a successful attempt to shift blame from the producers to the consumers.
That's a shitty graph...
Yup: For time t, upper asymptote b, arbitrary constant k, value at time t y(t),

d/dt y(t) = k y(t) (b - y(t))

Solve that and get a sigmoid, lazy S, curve. Yup, the solution, easy closed form, first calculus, is in terms of exponentials.

Could use that to model, say, the growth of immunity to Covid-19. Once it was used to project the growth of FedEx -- pleased the BoD and saved the company.

Addition: Ah, will save you a little first calculus. In TeX,

$$
y(t) =
{ y(0) b e^{bkt} \over y(0) \big ( e^{bkt} - 1 \big ) + b}
$$
This is BS "could" does not mean "will". We get these types of articles every so often but I've yet to see any of it come to anything. My suspicion is that this research gets amplified by PR firms that service the plastic industry with the idea that the public will feel better about all the plastic that is being thrown into the environment and landfills.

Right now the only solution is to minimize plastic use as much as possible. Please keep this in mind.
The overwhelming majority of solar energy storage will likely be in batteries with little need for disposal: giant spinning flywheels, pumping water up high, storing energy in millions of smart thermostat homes by overheating/cooling them during peak hours to reduce demand at other hours, etc.

Yep. My experience as well (25+ years of experience). People are guided by emotions not logic. Logic is mostly used to defend the conclusion reached by emotions. Which is why high IQ people makes mistakes all the time but are more likely to get away with it because of their ability to explain it away.
yes, exactly the same as your second biggest purchase, Your car.

I don't know what the "right" thing is but AFAIK, Tokyo is way more affordable than SF, NYC, London. My guess is that's in part because housing is not an investment so they're is less incentive to lobby for policies that kept it going up.
This made me laugh so hard, not an ounce of bad intent to the previous post.
There is this book by Mariana Mazzucato: The Entrepreneurial State: debunking public vs. private sector myths

I haven't read it, but from the TOC, it looks like these are the technologies that are "invented" by public sector that the iPhone (and other smartphones) rely on:

* Giant magnetoresistance (GMR), SPINTRONICS programme and hard disk drives

* Solid-state chemistry and silicon-based semiconductor devices

* From capacitive sensing to click-wheels

* From click-wheels to multi-touch screens

* Internet and HTTP/HTML

* GPS and SIRI

* Battery, display and other technologies

Summary HBR article:
https://hbr.org/2013/03/taxpayers-helped-apple-but-app
It is a bit less of a problem for me lately, because I now feel somewhat more confident about many things in life. But for the most of my life, absolutely. It isn't like there is any real problem, but it was fear of the unknown for me. I was confident about how to make things, solve technical problems and such, and absolutely clueless about anything else. I was somewhat envious of how everyone files taxes on his own in USA. I just knew that my employer pays taxes for me, that I would have to if I want to start a business, and that I can get in jail if I fuck up. It isn't just about taxes, really, just anything law-related. But I had absolutely no idea what I actually have to do, or how do I even find out. I know it sounds silly, but it wasn't funny to me, it was infuriating helplessness.

Then I became older and just started caring less about doing things "the right way". It was liberating.
> In keeping with Founding conceptions of separation of powers, the Supreme Court has made clear that Congress cannot “delegate to the Courts, or to any other tribunals, powers which are strictly and exclusively legislative.”

I love this. I hope this trend catches on, I can't wait to gut these bloated agencies and force Congress to get back to work at the risk of a completely paralyzed society if they don't.

Any supreme court ruling, and court ruling, and any agency ruling or even from the White House, that acts as a Super Legislature instead of some other rationale, is going to get gutted, no matter how old or "settled" the case masquerades to be. Find a different rationale to reach the same desired goal, or rely on Congress, or the government cant be involved.
You are pricing battery storage in kWh but storage is measured in kW. $50-100 kW is "normal" for installed grid scale battery.

There is no realistic way to GENERALLY determine the price of the kWh coming out of a grid scale battery due to the large number of variables, such as battery lifepan, wholesale production rates, land and permitting cost, etc.
The point is that it isn't repeatable. Saying "oh I made bank investing in Tesla" is not useful information for another person making a decision now. Similarly, "Google stock went up dramatically between 2018 and early 2022 is not useful information for somebody who has offers in hand today from various corporations because they have absolutely no way of predicting future stock growth.

> NoSQL crowd has largely died out.

yeah, that was rather curious. Similar to how XML died out. Not with a bang but with a whimper. Not that NoSQL or XML are completely gone today, just like PHP. But suddenly one day you recognize these topics are no longer appearing on HN or elsewhere. Then you realize you're getting old and... oh my god... we're actually stuck working in a fashion industry and nothing matters, life is meaningless, and all this is dumb dumb dumb.

When HN and other techies find a new hammer they end up beating that hammer against every problem they see. Right now it's SQLite. I love SQLite. But man. Can we quit talking about it for one fucking day already? This is probably how it felt to be an Erlang fan when Facebook bought WhatsApp. I remember the decades of Joe Armstrong talking about Erlang on Usenet and no one caring. It's just cargo cult with no thought behind it. WhatsApp was successful using X, so if we use X we must be successful. People have this perception that Python is new and modern despite being, relatively speaking, the same age as Perl. Erlang was cool long before WhatsApp. It's really quite old tech.
