I've just specced up a system to deliver 1-2 KWh per day off-grid, and there are a lot more parts in the system than just the panels.

Apart from anything else, if you save on costs by sticking at 12v, you run quite high current. That 100w panel can fuck you up.
I'm not a writer, but I cannot right now come up with a less self-aware sentence. It's absolutely brilliant, I also love it.
What you are describing is also known as the 'grey rock method'.
I'm sorry you've had to deal with that.

And yes, it's very effective. And even better, allows you to detach and recoup your time and peace.

I just took it as straight up racist / xenophobic. I feel sad for any Parisians who read this article.

But on the other hand maybe it's just a narcissistic attempt at dropping that he's so important that he has a therapist in Paris?
Maybe try shifting to coding custom firmware for High Frequency Trading firms. The money is great and they need talent like you. If you can be a 10x developer in this field you will be worth millions.
There are weird pseudo-bootcamps that exist in the US that you can sign up for, but I imagine they're just as unregulated and harmful as "wilderness therapy" companies are.
I'm the biggest gold bug ever. Been holding this awful asset for the last 12 years.

This is the most manipulated, trash asset imaginable. The price of gold hasn't changed since 2011. It was $1900, still $1900.

Worst investment of my life. Maybe 2024 - 2030 will see some returns in gold like we saw from 2001 - 2011.

I'll keep investing in miners, because it's what I know and spend a lot of time reading drill results, balance sheets, etc.

But diversifying my portfolio. Oil has done particularly well in the past two years. There are many other interesting commodities.

Being a mentor is fucking awesome.

I'm a great fucking electrical engineer, but there's no project I've enjoyed like watching the junior people I work with start to apply what I've taught them.

They're now more valuable, and so is the company, because we can do more, better, and faster.

> Whatever passion young students have is unlikely to propel them through life and satisfy them.

What is that based on? I think it's quite the opposite: With some flexibility and creativity, you can make your life about something you're passionate about. I have little doubt about it.
> Not making them mandatory means they remain expensive extras, more expensive than if required on all cars.

If they were rare they might be more expensive, but otherwise it's the same system and will cost about the same amount to incorporate into a vehicle. Making it mandatory doesn't make it any cheaper. (Usually the opposite, in fact. From the POV of those manufacturing the safety systems, there's nothing quite like having the government mandate that people buy your product.)

Economy of scale is not guaranteed, or even really all that common once you get past early research and development or one-off custom products and into the realm of mass production. In general commodities become more expensive in response to higher demand, not less. If these systems are something most people actually want and consider worthwhile then they'll already have the benefit of any economy of scale which may apply without the mandate.
Because if the teachers says "some people are bad", then the pupils will ask: who of us are bad?

Who of our parents are bad?

Who of the other teachers are bad?

If you say "none", you will likely get caught in a lie.

I think most kids figure out by themselves that many people are somewhat bad. It's mainly kids who are slightly/somewhat autistic who need help with this.
> Yet the author is completely unaware, totally conditioned to believe unquestioningly that the US has uniquely "pervasive" focus on race.

That’s weird, given in the very article she described an incident where she was called ugly names for being black while in Korea. Crazy how she didn’t even notice that happening to her, and so obviously believes it’s entirely a US issue.
It was invented by Twitter as a code for "you're exceeding our rate limits" and just sorta stuck.

Less cool companies use 429.
Spending petrol (or battery power) to put your foot down on a long, straight and clear road is the most freeing experience you can have. Cars usually not cheap, but honestly you get so little for ones that cost more than $100k that I'd put the price cap of a non-silly car around there.
Risky in terms of them being 42, or due to the economy maybe not looking too great right now?

Unfortunately this means there's no incentive for them to change. Becoming a better person and having healthier relationships takes a lot of effort, and to them, they are giving up power (and becoming vulnerable) -- so why bother? And empathy for others will never be a motivator, here.
I remember that back in the late 1990s, when I had just learned how to use Internet, one of the first thing I went looking for was more information about Vangelis and his music. All I had back in the day was Portraits and Voices on cassettes. Oh, and a local radio station had Metallic Rain as its evening news jingle.

The Internet did not disappoint: https://www.vangelislyrics.com/vwr/ (Vangelis webring). One of the first websites I visited in my life.

And this webring is still alive.

RIP.
Ask HN: Leave my job or stick with it through recession
I've been at my job at a pretty sizeable public company doing distributed systems engineering for 8-9 months and it has not at all been what I expected. Most of my colleagues are really not great by my measure, and no one cares about what's going on.

I wasn't as interested in this company and team when I was interviewing but they absolutely crushed everyone else on compensation so went with them. Stock value has now decreased by about 80% though so it's actually gone below some of my other offers I had back then in terms of total comp but I'm still making > 270k TC all said.

I'm also the only senior (versus staff) IC reporting to a senior director which has been pretty bad for my day to day work as there is a level of information asymmetry between me and the staff engineers as well as a pretty big lack of direction from my boss. I've basically been sent to find my own work to do and to be perfectly honest I didn't sign up for that and am not really interested in hunting and then killing versus being put onto a project at someone else's behest.

I've discussed these issues with my boss and suggested solutions but nothing has really changed over the months.

I don't think this position is helping my career at all and I had planned on leaving after my stock vests in about 3 months and I put some more savings away to be fully stable financially.

Now with the recession I'm concerned about hopping to a new job at all, grass is always greener and all that.

My biggest concern is my skills will certainly be dulling here unless I spend a lot of time on my side projects especially if I'm here for another year.

My other concern is I'm at the top of my salary band for my position and given that this has been a bit of a crapshoot so far I feel like I could be on the short list for a layoff if they go there since I don't really have anyone going to bat for me.

What would you do in my shoes?
It failed because I didn’t execute well and chose the wrong market.
I'm pretty sure they have a wiskers or wire bonding problem too, and the water blocks clog.

I picked one up that was labeled "crashes while booting" or some such from the goodwill near my house for something like $20 some years back. Brought it home, and noticed that the water block got burning hot when it was turned on, and tubes feeding the radiator were room temp. I broke the water loop open and flushed it out, and a whole bunch of white crap came out of the block. So, whatever the coolant apple shipped with it, was clogging the block. Reassembled the whole thing, had a terrible time getting the air of the system, but in the end it ran pretty good for a while until I left it off for a few months, and it refused to boot. In an act of desperation I hit it with the heat gun and that magically fixed it for a few weeks, and it did the same thing like a year later when I tried to boot it again.

I ran some benchmarks on it to compare with a POWER4 I also have, and yah lots of clock, shitty IPC. It was really cool in 2001, but by the time apple was putting them in mac's they were pretty terrible in comparison to the amd/intel's.
Back of the envelope maths here, but there must be hundreds of millions of people in Asia who can't speak the same language their grandparents spoke.

Public schools seem to be a big factor in languages dying off. But you also can't ignore the prestige factor - "my native language is small/backwards/insular/unsophisticated, if I want to get ahead in life I better speak the prestige one and teach it to my kids".
It doesn't take much googling to answer that.

Edit: look you guys, We're not Bowdlers and have never been interested in language policing but I wouldn't have thought this was a borderline case.
You missed the point. I'm not qualifying the information released, I'm qualifying his treason. I'm not commenting on the constitutionality of mass surveillance. He went about it the wrong way, then ran like a coward and hid like chicken little.

Of course Snowden isn't going to admit he handed over intel to the Russians or Chinese, but it's most likely he did. Hence he's safe from justice today, right. Believe more in your hero though. I like my heroes to have an ounce of manhood and bravery like Russia's Navalny. Edward wouldn't have 1/1000th the struggle that man has faced. We could poison him, give him cancer, anything. He's not safe. He's just blessed to have been a traitor of America, rather than a totalitarian society like the one he resides in now.

And yes, I do consider the ACLU more qualified to handle any potential US gov't abuses of Snowden. There won't be any. He's just a traitor and a coward in hiding. Hiding behind the same cheap rhetoric here about "unfairness". Yet he trusts the Russian system. You can't make this stuff up. But here you are.

The worst book I’ve ever read in my life (that made me lose almost all my faith in humanity) but describes how manipulative people behave is “The 48 laws of power”.

I wish I hadn’t read it, but at least I know.

I recommend reading some Taoist or Stoic books after to keep from becoming deeply depressed.
I've been programming for almost 30 years, 15 of it on essentially the same code-base, and 5 years ago I could have written something similar to what you posted.

The part of being over-protective of the code-base particularly resonated.

In the end, it's not worth it. Yeah, you might do a lot of the work, yeah, it's good stuff, but that just means your good at your job. Help others up to your level, be patient, slow down, and make friends of your co-workers.

And then go ahead and learn something hard - that always does great for knocking me down a few pegs and remembering I'm not all that. I'm just a medium sized fish in a small company pond and there are people out there doing really significant work and you can learn from them. Hell, just switch JS frameworks, that's enough for a year's worth of feeling lost.
I thought this was pretty cool, but then 50% of the recommended posts are about NFTs, which are a known scam. They are also by the same author as this post. So this tells me the author isn't necessarily looking at things with the most critical eye.
I see what you mean, but I disagree with the conclusion: First, everyone grows up and discovers they won't be an astronaut or Messi or President; it's not such an emotional hardship. Much better to reach for your dreams and make the best you can of them than to never have tried. There's nothing wrong with a little failure, (and less wrong with a lot!).
>Wood, stone, pretty much everything is stronger than concrete.

Hang on, compressive strength is very, very high. Tensile strength is much lower so that’s why we add rebar and mesh.
TBH, the last time someone told me they were a 10x developer, I asked his co-workers what he was like when he left the room and everyone said that the 10x was all in his head and he was pretty close to being the worst performer in the group. He just had an inflated sense of his own skills. Despite getting fired from multiple jobs (including that one) for performance reasons, he continued to exist he was a "10x" programmer and he was just getting fired because the managers and CTOs were jealous of his leet skills and didn't want to spend their all their time looking over their shoulders.

I'm not saying that you're this guy, but this weird humble-brag post doesn't come across as sincere, and it's the kind of post I frequently see in reddit.

If you really are a 10x, then share the wealth by mentoring other programmers. A true 10x isn't measured by the amount of code they output, they are measured by their multiplicative effect on the productivity of their team.

If the US accrues enough "Oh, we don't talk to _those people_, we only sanction them" world states, they will encompass enough of the world's population to make it unreasonable for third parties to obey US sanctions, which they currently tend to (because the US sanctions transitively); and enough of the world's population to do things like replace SWIFT and/or drop the USD as their main reserve currency.

(Also, there's the question of the fate of the Ukranians, but I guess you're right in that the US doesn't care enough about that to negotiate with Russia.)
It doesn’t take much research to verify the writer’s complete lack of business acumen.
> Is this old info or a bad take?

Yes. With IPv6 there are still stateful firewalls on routers. An app/service still generally needs to do firewall hole punching via UPnP or PCP. The main thing that goes away is the rigamarole of figuring out the public IP address:

With my Asus RT-AC68U I can ping my IPv6 address:

But cannot connect to SSH from the Internet (but localhost works), or port 80 (if I launch 'nc -6 -l 80'):

Firewalls do not stop working with IPv6.
Yeah, this feels a lot more like 2000-2001 than 2008 to me as well. (And the lead-up felt very much like 1999.)

There's no incentive for them to change. If they can use people and then discard them for new supply, maintaining their power over people with manipulation and games -- then why change? Change would involve becoming vulnerable, giving up their means of power, and confronting their harmful actions.
it's also important to understand the difference between narcissistic traits, and a narcissistic pathology.

i.e. being narcissistic is not inherently bad nor evil, and unless there are other negative consequences that elevate the traits into pathology, I don't see why should we strive to eradicate narcissism
You have offended me.

This says there’s no cure for narcissism but that’s clearly and demonstrably not true.

Narcissism is when someone has excessive self regard, like they have a vastly over-inflated image of themselves.

Most people focus on making people revise that high self-regard but it’s much more straightforward to just actually become more and more and more awesome until your perception comes into line with reality.

If you’re really one of the greatest or most important people in the world, and you believe that you are, you’re just a realist.

This has been my preferred approach to solving the problem so far.
Just going by the article, it’s a really unfortunate situation. Their relationship seems… unsavoury, which may have led to the bitter feelings and vindictiveness of the lady. Part of me is sorry for her, and can see how the power dynamic influenced her to pursue the ‘relationship’. The other, more rationally inclined part of me sees this 29y/o, experienced and intelligent lady as completely knowing what she was doing, knowingly involved in a polygamous relationship, and herself having sex with multiple different people regularly, including other ‘powerful’ people. How can you expect to forge a lasting relationship with someone if you’re both f*cking your brains out with ten other people like bohemian bachelors? If anything this woman was unrealistic. Obviously we don’t know every detail, but this is as much as I can conclude from the article.
It could be probably be mitigated with some sort of coating.

It would be more expensive, but it would still allow for the repurposing of waste plastic.

So, she’s a prostitute, just one who has never slept with anyone working at Meta?

Well, I guess good on her for getting her Instagram unbanned by going through the official channels.

> Also I'm under the impression that "porn stars" actually make pretty terrible money for making porn, and actually make their money through things like stripping and prostitution

If you say so. I don’t know too many porn stars.
Anecdotal really. I honestly probably overstated that.

Ask HN: I found a pretty extreme data leak and I'm not sure what to do
Long story short, through a bizarre chain of events starting from trying to hire a contractor online an anonymous person (the title is from their perspective) has uncovered and has access to thousands of user credentials (email + CLEARTEXT password), associated addresses, company information, as well as associated active API keys for stock and crypto exchange accounts, and to top it all off some of them have withdrawal permissions.

The entity affected by this vulnerability is NOT a trustworthy company, it is not even a registered company. The service is operated by individuals and not under a registered business entity. The anonymous person wants to assure you that no sane person would ever subscribe to it, they are providing technically borderline illegal / grey area services (for they are not licensed as they should), yet there are thousands of paying active users.

The nature of access is such that it is somewhat hard for bots to find, which the anonymous person assumes is the reason it seems untampered with, but they have not tried executing write operations so they have no idea if it may only be read-only access and bots had a field day on it already - they doubt it at this point. The database itself also contains admin credentials to an internal administration interface which HAS write permissions.

Now, there might obviously be some documentation going on, but they are seriously wondering what to do with this before anything else.

As far as they see it, there are three options right now,

1) Contact the site owners themselves and let them know, but the... service they run seems shady, it is not a company, and the anonymous person worries that they might try to simply sweep it under the rug without informing their customers or doing nothing at all about it (if they are even still around, the last admin login in their system seems to be from March even though there are thousands of users still active)

2) Scrape off the email addresses and send emails to the affected individuals, warning them of the data leak, urging them to change their passwords and disable the API keys, however the anonymous person worries that their emails either get routed to spam or ignored by a good amount of them

3) Nuke the data to prevent any future harm

They are super lost.

Generic praise is kind of useless in the first place. Make your compliments specific. "You said, '<something you enjoyed>.' What a clever turn of phrase!"
To second that, the best programmers I know are quite upfront about how much they don't know.

This can have the paradoxical effect of people relying on them less in situations where they should, because they think the 10x doesn't know anything, and instead they turn to the braggart 1/10x programmer who claims he knows everything. (Not meaning the OP on this; I just know a guy IRL who is exactly this.)
