Yes, you can try, but first You have to find employer that is charitable enough to pay You for doing nothing (I have said nothing in my post about forcing employers to take on grifters, just asked to recognize that commute is hidden cost for employees and should be normalized).
Interesting! Thanks for the good information.
I see such usages as goverened more by either 1) concern over libel or similar lawsuits or 2) strong but not absolute evidence. Possibly in the case of 2), the evidence exists, but disclosure would compromise or endanger the source.

That said, yes, the headline eyeroll is warranted.
Chamath did it better. Even in the stock market it's not a crime to make billions peddling nonsense to retail.
The product key is a user-submitted comment on archive.org, I don't think you can hold the project owners accountable for this one.
After seeking medical help, my doctor did discover I had a critical B12 deficiency, but AFAIK there is no connection even though I had nerve damage from the B12 issues.

Apparently a healthy number is 500+, most people will present with issues in the 250-300 range, and I was at 166 when critical is 144ish.

I have to take a daily pill for the rest of my life and things have improved, but the VSS is still the same.
The political ruling class of the US sold out their people for short term gain (starting around the 60's or so). Working hard for a high trust, tight knight community is likely the ideal state for most people. The solution isn't retreating further and isolating yourself - the solution is figuring out how we can be a cohesive society again.
The difference is that you can now casually manipulate a spreadsheet of the size that would choke a supercomputer back then … on an iPad.

My watch has orders of magnitude more processing power and working memory than my first PC in the mid 90’s. It weighs maybe 200 grams and runs on battery power for ~20 hours.

If that doesn’t feel like progress then I dunno …
What about their taste? Can they feel neutral or do they get in the way?

Edit: interesting that somebody bothered to downvote a mere question. That does not seem to be very hacker-like.
Sushi rolls also stay together pretty well, so there's probably more ways to go about it.

More probable than not than in some years all it systems will have some sort of crypto ledger

The financial industry will keep an eye on it, and will definitely implement it internally and B2B

There are very small project tutorials, that implement small blockchain in your favourite language. But there are also small machine learning tutorials that are also interesting
Eh it’s clearly a violation not to mention the trademark violations everywhere. it wouldn’t take much to go through the image to find unlicensed msft programs and likeness. Sometimes hn confuses how things ought to be reasoning from first principals with how they actually are.
A properly wrapped burrito doesn't need edible adhesive tape.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with demand leveling. Devices with large battery capacity are absolutely what you want to exploit to buffer short term shortfalls in capacity. It's comparatively trivial for car owners to limit charging to off-peak hours, so we should absolutely do that.

That said: the reason this is a problem at all is Texas's criminal joke of a power infrastructure, and that deserves to be dunked on irrespective of mitigation strategies.
Every time there's a post giving advice on making money or entrepeurship, the majority HN response is "but success is mostly luck" + "you need not want this kind of success". But when there's a post on, say, how to win at poker, people don't feel this need to bring up these points, even though they still apply at least as much. Somehow we're unable to accept the concept of picking a game and playing it when the game is getting rich or making an impact. I suppose it's because this game is so culture dominating that it affects those who don't play it too, as it makes everyone feel like they're supposed to be playing it, and resisting requires extra effort.

I guess this is fine and inevitable. But it makes me wonder where to go to find focused quality discourse about entrepreneurship / getting rich if not HN.
"By the time the 1980s came to an end, it was unusual for a household to be without a personal computer."

As someone who graduated college when the 1980s came to an end, I can say it was unusual for a household to HAVE a computer. They were a major purchase, any communication with the outside world was via dial-up modem to a BBS, and most families had no practical reason for them.
>fight them using regulatory capture and refusing to engage in business with them

Can you provide concrete examples?
I don't disagree with any of that, none the less, they were selling at $3K then and have to cut price to $300 to sell now, so people are obviously 10x poorer now than in the 80s. Can't argue with actual historical economic activity.

Its worth pointing out that I was paying something ridiculous like $115 for health insurance around 1990 and its running about $1750 now for my wife and I, and that's with horrifying copays and stuff. Somebody with $70K is still getting $70K, they're just spending it on rent and medical expenses now instead of $3K hard drives.

On one hand, instead of life involving $3K hard drives, now we supposedly have better medical care and nicer houses. On the other hand, its not like lifespans are increasing, LOL.
The Royale theme remains one of my favorite OS interfaces to this day.
to #3 I think most people want to easily swap out their screen and batteries and maybe usb/lightning port. Those are the parts that usually wear out. I doubt any expects to swap out the BGA and RAM other than maybe a professional tech who wants to do it for bragging rights.

can somebody explain how these organizations handle a bad actor or collusion towards bad goals?

Say somebody comes along and wants to use Oracle suddenly, what sort of measures exist to prevent that from happening, how is arbitration, enforcements and distribution of profit calculated?

The only successful corp i can think that is similar to this is Valve but it isn't quite worker owned, it seems to distribute profits more fairly.
FWIW, happy you're doing this! A better process would make so many peoples' lives better.

The ONLY people who should "get used to 'em" are new/recent grads looking for a junior-ish IC job. For them, it's just a fact of life: they had to learn history & biology to get their CS degree; they have to learn leetcode to get a job.

Interviewers should make a better process, as you're doing.
I bought mine to get some quality gaming time in my busy week (basically commuting in public transportation time).

I had extremely high hopes for this little thing, and they have been surpassed.

As a guy who manages a lot of linux boxes and daily drives them too, I have decided not to fiddle with it and just consider it a gaming appliance with HUNDREDS of verified games from my library already (long time humble choice user, who has always been better at buying games than actually playing them...)..

So tldr: if you need a on-the-road gaming fix with actually fun games (my Switch has less than 20 hours of use) the Steam Deck is a no brainer.

Also, I think it is going to change pc gaming forever (bringing in the console like optimisations and proving that proton works fine - hence hopefully breaking the windows/gaming cycle...)
Frankly, from what I've seen, I suspect that more than 50% of the valuation of most cryptocurrencies comes from people with that mindset.
Those ideas aren't actually coupled. It makes sense to charge cars (and any large battery devices with duty cycles longer than 24 hours) off-peak whether or not the power is provided by solar.
you have a few examples of this?
I’ve not, not seriously anyway. I do have a few acquaintances that are Unitarian though, I should ping them on that topic. Thanks, I appreciate the suggestion!
The main factor (in my considered opinion) is the life of the soil. The "secret" of getting the best taste and (I assume but have not measured) nutrition is to treat the soil itself as a kind of organism, feed it things like diluted milk, oatmeal, wood chips, kitchen scraps, etc. and it becomes "inwardly alive ... akin to the vegetative":

> Then the earth itself will have the tendency to come inwardly alive
and become akin to the vegetative.

~ Herrman Andrä, 1962, in re: Hügelkultur; (ah, he's quoting Rudolf Steiner from a "1924 lecture on biodynamics" but it's still evocative and descriptive prose despite biodynamics being pretty "woo-woo".) https://web.archive.org/web/20190715152357/http://pubs.cahnr...

When soil is healthy plants grow vigorously with minimal pest problems and no fertilizers nor pesticides, and yield and quality go up. E.g. I have lots of slugs in my garden, but almost no slug damage. You also do things to encourage the local mini-ecosystem. For example I have these plastic panels that serve as flagstones but also function as habitat for centipedes. Every couple of weeks I lift them up and throw some cuttings under there to keep it from getting too compacted. Centipedes are apex predators at their scale, like wolves or lions, so having a healthy population of them is both a indicator of ecosystem health and a crucial factor keeping other bugs from growing out of control. They cannot regulate their own moisture levels so they need a perpetually moist environment to survive. By providing that in my otherwise pretty dry micro-climate I get free pest control.
I worked at a company in the late 90's that made some of (or first) Braille computers. The braille dots were actuated with Piezo driven at over 200 volts. The piezo compound was proprietary and supposedly the blending process was done by two or three old women in Germany.
Anyhow, we had a retired French physicist (French civilian nuclear program) working on driving braille cells with Nitinol under a SBIR grant. Unfortunately we were not able to get past prototype stage.
The was a very interesting place to work.
Almost forgot the lead- I still have a package of "Muscle wire" that he gave me.
It was a carburetor that ran on water "I heard about in the 70s" when I first heard that story in probably 2006.
I've got a Samsung Xcover pro. It has an easily removable back plate and a replaceable battery and is IP-68 rated. My old Casio was in the same vein. Maybe you couldn't get it quite as thin, but they did away with the easily removable battery long before they started trying to waterproof it.
Resistive heating is more efficient than burning gas for heat. Gas has been historically cheap, so burning it has made economic sense over using electricity.

Heat pumps are kinda what the sound like. Pumping 30 degrees of heat inside to keep warm takes more energy than pumping 20 degrees of heat outside to stay cool. Heating costs will come to dominate residential energy usage as people electrify their homes. A/C will be number two or possibly number 3 behind water heating.
That's simply not true. I get paid a surge price to export my solar power.

The UK sets a minimum floor for export pricing, but companies are free to charge more than that. Thanks to the power of the free-market, I switched to a provider who did time-of-day export pricing. I (or rather, my battery) can decide to sell the electricity back during peak hours.

And, as for vehicles, they'll slurp up whatever is pumped to them. They control how much load they're willing to take.

Could abuse happen? Sure. But it sounds like the situation in Texas is already pretty abusive.

They were always so dressed up, like they were planning on attending a wedding and at the last minute decided to play Donkey Kong.

The real world looks as it always did, as I sit here "computing" in my gym shorts and a dirty tee shirt from changing the lawnmower oil this morning.
So? Evidently people who properly wrap their tacos "all the time, every time", aren't the target of such an invention.
Texas is ridiculously pro-energy. It doesn't matter what type of energy, either. Just look at west Texas oil fields - thousands of rigs pepper the landscape for tens of thousands of miles.

NIMBY attitudes are not as popular in Texas.They really don't care what the world looks like. As a result, Texas has a massive amount of solar / wind production. They beat their own production goals, repeatedly.

It would seem like a good idea to just sprinkle in solar and wind farms all throughout west Texas. Then setup high voltage lines to run the power to Albuquerque, El Paso, Waco, Odessa, Midland, etc.

For perspective at the extent of oil production (and their lack of care over the landscape), look on Google Maps at Andrews, TX
It's very interesting what you say, how you miss certain aspects of companionship. Do you find the maintenance of friendships and of intimate relationships difficult in the same way? Personally I find almost no overlap between the two categories.

I've actually found most of my most intense friendships via computers - though those are few, and to be honest I've mellowed in my middle age. I'm trying my hand at making friends through social activities more these days - I definitely enjoy conversing, and sharing a laugh with them.
But they are not knockoffs.
Apple tried to make the MacBook Pro just a few millimeters thinner and gave us the disastrous, almost-universally-loathed butterfly keyboard. I feel like your view that Apple engineers have massive design margins they are choosing not to exploit is just not real.
The blowers may be “air curtain” that reduce loss.

The walls in hotels are just cost snipping and not unique to Texas. Somehow sticks on bricks construction is ok for commercial construction and saves money vs the prefab concrete stuff that was common from the late 90s until a few years ago.

The problem with Texas is that it’s governance is controlled by resource extraction types and reactionaries seeking a theocracy. That combo, even with the vast resources, prosperity, and wealth of Texas results in things like designed to fail power grids.

Alot of big states have similar problems with different casts of characters. My home state of NY suffers from the sharp divide of the NYC Metro area and everywhere else. Policy is made by folks who don’t even realize that other regions of the state exist.
The first one? It's colored with dye to be visible, the second one is what the actual tape would look like.
> But just like tires, if you insist on doing the work yourself, you’re going to need some special equipment.

That is not a constant of the universe, and is entirely dependent on the design. A long time ago, I had a Palm Treo 650. The removable back cover didn't require any tools to remove, after which the battery could be popped out. I could carry spare batteries with me and swap them out as needed.

Does this change the design constraints? Yes. But pretending that it's outright impossible ignores the decisions that were made during design.

Insider trading is arguably a good thing. It makes markets more efficient, and puts everyone on an even footing.
Nope. Not eating that even without food dye... Enjoy the chemicals
I prefer markdown. I edit .md files in VSCode, while `jekyll serve` provides a web preview. VSCode has its own markdown preview, but I often have embedded images, videos, and LaTeX, so I use Jekyll's preview which shows exactly what readers will see.

Indeed computer science is not trivial.
MTG:Arena can be payed F2P and is much cheaper to buy a top tier deck due to having wildcards. I highly recommend it. (It’s a different experience to playing for fun with friends at the kitchen table, more focused on “the serious/meta game”).

Also you can do drafts really easily and cheaply, which gets you into the really layered EV/Sklansky-bucks territory.

Who still has their first computer? My TRS-80 Color Computer 2 is sitting quietly in my garage, in a box that contains it, the TV adapter, the Color Basic manuals, a Radio Shack joystick and a half dozen cassette tapes with programs I wrote as an 10yo in 1982.

If anyone at the Computer History Museum reads this: Get the 70s/80s micro computers out from behind the display cases!!! CHM has at least one of every computer you can think of, why not take the extras and put them on the floor for visitors to play with? It's like torture wandering through the displays and not being able to play with all those computers and video games you lusted over as a kid.

Normally when asking for a burrito you tell them the toppings one by one, never all at once. Withholding information is the best way to get an overstuffed burrito and your money's worth.

They're hard to wrap properly, so tape might help.
>> Sport is probably the worst possible analogy for any fair economic system. It promotes cooperation between people only as far as crushing your opponents team go. How exactly exactly promotes cooperation between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid within it's rules ? Who would want to live in a world where there is place only for one winner?

Remember when Zidane head-butted the Italian player and France lost the World Cup because Italy got a penalty shot? Because the referee called the foul. Because both teams agree to cooperate and respect the decision of the referee during play. If you didn't cooperate, no sporting even would be fun to watch. Soccer (football) would be about as much fun to watch as a brawl - which is what it would turn into. But both teams agree to guidelines on what makes a good football (soccer) game.

Imagine a world without competition and you'll see a world that's dead inside. You'll see a world that drives Trabants and you have a 5 year waiting list for something like a Commodore 64. It's because Sony and Microsoft are competing for your gaming attention/dollars, or Intel and AMD are competing for your desktop, that I can have a nice graphical display on a computer that, inflation adjusted, cost me 1/5 the price I paid for my first computer in the 1980s.
It won't though, the statement I'm replying to is normalized to one house.

There's just no cheaper way to heat a house than to cool it, energetically speaking. Economically, sure, maybe you have a back lot and cordwood, who knows.
Legislation to tell people what they can do with the electricity that they pay for?
Right.

I don’t think the British decolonized because they wanted to either.

I understand Hong Kong during the 1950s or 1960s wasn’t exactly peaceful, but they handled it better than the other former European powers.

That is to say, they wanted to retain influence if not control.

Though you have flare-ups like the Falkland Islands; which from an outsider’s perspective seems weird that Britain retained influence and not given to Argentina.

Edit: Just to be clear, the British really screwed over nations like China. So it’s strictly about how they handled their pull-out in the last hundred years.
Wish they would have said. But then is it "safe" to eat a lump of the stuff, fast food standards and all...
Smart move. Ohio has a well diversified economy and they really standout among rust belt states.

I read semiconductor plants need a lot of freshwater. It is confusing why Arizona is receiving so much investment in fabs. The entire west is lacking in water. With the exception of the Seattle area; there isn't a city out West that doesn't have a major water concern.

Meanwhile the Great Lakes have the largest bodies of freshwater in the world.
The oldest and most mind-boggling process ever devised and foisted upon readers lies at the bottom of many of those ads -- "circle ### on reader service card."

It was a cruel joke for the ad to spark your interest whereby you would circle the number, mail in the bingo card to the publisher (3-5 days), whose lead management group would process it (3-5 days), then send the lead to the company or dealer (3-5 days), who would assign it to a sales rep (3-5 days), who was working their leads and getting back to potential customers (3-5 days), who would then ignore the call because they had lost interest in the product or couldn't remember requesting information.

Compare that with today where making a phone call to the sales team takes too long (3-5 minutes) and it's easier to just go get the damn information yourself.
One of the best moves our team ever made was moving to code review means actually checking out and running the code in our IDE. So many little improvements happened: logs got better, runtime-messages got better. Since we were reviewing in the IDE, running the profiler was a snap, and dropping a breakpoint in a diff lising let the reviewer inspect state right at the point of change. Another benefit: it was a lot easier to fix bugs found in review than just punt to the original developer... so the reviews became a lot less painful.
