I spec’d my 21kw system with IQ8+s for this reason. It’s future proofing distributed generation by being software defined (Enphase’s Ensemble system). Highly recommend them to anyone considering residential solar, and go for as big of a system as you can (and your utility will allow, if they limit based on usage history; tell them you’re buying an EV if necessary).
Wit.ai?
Agreed. One of our employees is visually impaired, and it is shocking how many Spas are entirely incompatible with a screen reader and standard keyboard nav. With a MPA, most of the things that a screenreader needs come for 'free' just by being standard components. When everything is wrapped in JS and is slightly different for each page, it's frustrating.

We have changed quite a bit of our software systems in the past 1.5 years, and I have dropped multiple vendors from consideration over accessibility. Many B2B SaaS salespeople just give you a blank look if you ask about usability for a blind user.
I would add that "a formula" doesn't mean it's bad. I regularly drank beer since like when I was 14 until when I was like 35 or something? I do it way less now but still sometimes drink beer.

My favorite style changes. Sometime I just drink a new one because like dopamine hits and I get excited about the potential novelty and discovery. But it's beer, and I think there's nothing wrong with it. From bud light to like whatever quadruppel or super IPA monstrosity someone in the Bay Area decided to brew and that may work as an antiseptic, I like them all. There's a formula and I like it, and I also like Marvel movies. Maybe I'm a basic bastard and I'm making a cardinal sin by spending my money on non innovative things and I should be only watching surreal pieces shot in a single take where at least one actor committed suicide or got addicted to opioids while shooting the movie. Don't get me wrong, those are great too and specially the followup documentaries. I also can then participate in high stakes intelectual debates. But that's a formula too.

And maybe I should drink sours but fuck that.

But yeah I think your analysis is great but I also think it's important to say that milking successful formulas is not wrong or morally reprehensible. If you scam people or whatever while doing yeah that's bad, but letting the chicken lay the golden eggs and not changing anything about it is pretty much ok in my hierarchy of sins.

A lot of IDE plugins will tag code smell as things that may potentially be a bug in your code. I like that more objective use of the term.
Not sure why you put Tesla in the list. They still grow substantially, just added two new large factories (Germany, Texas) and about to build another one (Indonesia).

>The consumers just aren’t complete idiots.

The consumers kinda are the idiots here. They know what they like, but they have no idea why the content is getting worse. Why shows are being pulled. Companies that had their content on Netflix realized they were facing an existential crisis.

Ever played Settlers of Catan and find out another player had 9/10 victory points? Everyone does everything in their power to not trade with that player, send the robber, and limit their chances. It's the same with Netflix. All other studios realized at some point Netflix would become so strong, even the royalties Netflix pays for their content would put them out of business permanently. There is no amount of money Netflix can pay for other studios content. Consumers only see the net effect of good shows going away, and imagining reasons why.
construction cost?
Well it's released in 1999 and it is still actively maintained. It's awesome to see a long time commitment.
The social cataloging site Rate Your Music has a very in-depth genre tagging system. For each album and track, users debate and vote on which primary genres and secondary genres apply. For example Radiohead's OK Computer has Alternative Rock and Art Rock primary genres and a highly controversial Space Rock Revival secondary.

Each genre has a lineage of parent genres so each release tagged with a genre must also be a part of each parent genre. For example: Electronic > Electronic Dance Music > House > Tribal House. Also: Rock > Metal > Thrash Metal > Technical Thrash Metal.

There's a queue for submitting proposals for new genres and modifying the definitions of existing ones. There's also a complex chart system for filtering releases by genres, types, and descriptors. I think I last heard there were ~1300 music genres on the site.

Most of users never paid it, and skeleton of the team they had was supported also by contractors, and most importantly, ignoring any abuse. That was ok in those days, but it wasn’t sustainable as they grew. Dealing with abuse, spam, misinformation is very costly, even when you’re e2ee.
clickhouse is more generally olap and not suitable for oltp, you could call it an olap+timeseries solution similarly to how you position timescale as oltp+timeseries

You are correct, TimescaleDB is time-series + OLTP. But I would argue that ClickHouse is just OLAP, but is better at time-series than other OLAP. But maybe now I am splitting hairs (and my apologies if I am).

how much of timescale's performance would you say is inherited from PostgreSQL?

The performance areas where TimescaleDB shines is mostly stuff we have built. But the reliability, tooling, and ecosystem are mostly inherited from Postgres (which I think is a very good thing)
I've also heard very bad things from colleagues about their time there.

> Casinos are not the same thing and exist to part fools (or rich people already set for life) from their money, no matter how badass some movies make them out to be.

Viewing a casino as a place to make money is certainly an error. However with smart play and a bankroll of $20,000 or more you can get a VIP experience at an excellent average price in Las Vegas. A room, food, and beverage comp from your host can easily have a nominal daily value in the low four digits if you have a nice room and eat and drink at the nice places owned by the property you play at. You will be expected to spend a minimum of four hours a day at the tables though, so it’s not really worth it unless you enjoy the games. Personally I find blackjack and craps entertaining, albeit for very different reasons. Incidentally those games are very close to even odds.

You don’t have to beat the house edge, you just have to beat the house edge less their marketing budget. The casino allocates marketing dollars, that is comps, based on your theoretical loss. Last I knew for blackjack the theo assumed a 2% house edge and marketing will refund about 30% of that in comps. That’s regardless of how well or poorly you do. Since even competent basic strategy brings the house edge down to a 0.5% you’re already ahead there.
The rest of hackernews seems to have decided that plutonium is a step on the way to solve the waste problem. What's your take on that?
On the other hand, we have so many programmers who are only good at programming and have no understanding (or interest) in the world beyond, meaning their algorithms and design patterns might be good, but their product is not, because they do not really understand the problems their users are facing and even if explained, cannot relate, therefore cannot really solve it.

There exists jobs for "pure programmers", but most programmers should have at least a basic understanding for the problem space they are solving. Bonus points if they really understand it and still listen to the full time experts of the field.
> we were offline by default in our lives […] Now it is the other way around - we live online by default, sharing photos and videos from a concert almost in real time, photos from a museum, etc. I think it took away its novelty.

We’re probably the same age, and I definitely see people matching that description.

Just to note, there’s also a decent number (most I know?) that went almost the opposite way:

“online” was a novelty but also the only place to share their experiences and participate to their community. With a group of friend we pestered the local com. company for broadband and were among the test group when they decided to start, and spend a crazy amount of time on IRC/ICQ/usenet.

I recently met again with some of the old friends, and our facebook accounts are stubs to keep our name. We’re still on other anonymous SNS but it’s clear we don’t want to share more than needed, and don’t want to spend too much time on it overall.

Basically now that “online” can be used anytime from anywhere, there’s no need actively seek it and novelty is gone so we’re more restricting what we do there.
DDD is something that most shops arrive at naturally without having to force paradigms to fit.

Other shops dont arrive at it naturally and it is just friction all the time trying to apply a practice without groking it.

If you expect your solar panels to power your house when the grid goes down, make sure you check that. They most likely will not, unless you've added a battery and switches.
That's a heart breaking story, but there are plenty of ex sex workers, some of which were in even more coerced situations (not emotional pressure from a boyfriend but threats of physical violence from a gang) who prefer decriminalization because it would have made it safer for them and would have allowed them an easier exit from sex work.

Maybe women are more against decriminalization because they've dealt with sexual coercion. But given that much more women think it's morally wrong to be a sex worker or to buy sex work (which doesn't have to do with coercion) I suspect that has little do with the difference. Instead i think the majority of the difference is that women think prostitution is wrong even when entered into by two willing and consenting parties, and this is why they're against decriminalization/legalization.
I can imagine.

> But that's a problem. Watching a whole season makes you more invested in the show, so you're pissed off when it gets cancelled.

This is because consumers have been conditioned since last century to assume this is how things should be. Netflix is trying to create a new [better] experience, and this is how they are going about it. Pilots of shows suck! Almost always the second episode the characters are more realistic, more developed. Sure, it hurts when the season gets pulled, but it was a much better experience during the run. Why say it's a problem? It's just "different" from what you personally expect.

The article doesn’t include the word “baseload”, which is an important consideration. Utilities pay more for peaker capacity. For the same reason, market pricing regulations need to encouraging sources that provide a base amount of power despite weather conditions: network reliability and security of supply are valuable. (Let’s ignore Texas though).

In New Zealand, we are dependent on seasonal rain for our hydro-power, and in some years we run dry and the whole economy is affected. In NZ the 1992 power crisis due to a 1:100 year drought required 10%-15% reduction in power usage nationwide, which caused a 0.6% reduction in the NZ GDP: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/how-we-learned-the-lessons-fro...

Even a predicted security of supply risk of 1% has consequences (even thinking we could run dry causes costs). Fantastic article: https://www.newsroom.co.nz/will-nz-run-out-of-electricity-th...

NZ is lucky that if we install solar electricity, we can effectively store it in our existing lakes, no batteries needed. We are unlucky that politically our government wastes money[1] on subsidising electric cars, when they could subsidise solar instead (in fact it just needs political will, private investors have $X*100 million plans already designed for solar, but surprisingly held up by lack of interest by government).

Netflix has worked to infer predictable returns by using ratings and habits from its 222MM subscribers. They model potential market size against production and marketing costs, assess risk, and make decisions informed by all of it. Lots that can go right and wrong, but it’s a solid approach.

It is. But I was amused when I encountered it and saw that it repeated design decisions made to cram AutoCAD into a DOS machine. Do they still have "redraw" and "regen?"?

I think you've hit on the most significant objection to this analysis. The paper even distinguishes between cases decided by the admiralty and "at law," then discards that distinction to push the idea that forfeiture inside of clearly demarcated judicial jurisdictions has precedent.
Drones are the new swamp gas. Jokes aside, it's pretty ballsy and rather reckless for a civilian to harass Navy ships.

> That's already 2 orders of magnitude more data than suggested by the OP, even under very conservative assumptions.

If we estimate a search input as 50 bytes and the results as 25 4-byte ID numbers, then multiply by 100 million, that's 15TB, one hard drive or a couple SSDs.

And a hard drive full of clicks can fit a trillion.

So even at 2-3 orders of magnitude over a billion, we're not looking at huge sums of data.

And it's quite questionable whether you need special systems dedicated to keeping that click data pristine at all times.
There seem to be a few shows they do it for, but it's not the standard.
Like every other profession with a supposed shortage the pay and work conditions suck. And guess what shortage…

While I have used FreeBSD before on my desktops (starting with version 8.1) and love the design of the system along with the UNIX feel, I do not really see how it can become popular with the WiFi stack in shambles (my current Intel Wireless device gets half of the speed it does on other OS) and other quirks. I feel that a lot more of the donations should go to working on FreeBSD device support if we ever to dream of it going popular.

There are some cases where it needs to be digital. Paper is great for smaller projects, but it doesn't scale.
One possible a consideration would be that "softer" hiring metrics breed mediocrity and complacency in the long run. Should the company in question to pivot into a more, let's say, intellectually rigorous direction, how should they handle the predicament they've put themselves in without the end result being bankruptcy, mass layoffs, bad PR, or some combination of the three?
Sorry, my bad.

No, sadly that return is based on my infrastructure costs, which I can't keep increasing and get the same return. But yes, I'm doing better than 50X my monthly infrastructure costs with this, which are my only actual risk.
You don’t think the ability for a set of mutually exclusive flags to introduce illegal states (a disabled, yet visible object) into a program is a code smell? I think the array approach is far more elegant, if implemented properly (concurrently) and efficiently.

More generally, I usually take boolean flags as an indication something may be able to be factored out. Rather than a sort function with a flag alternating between LEQ or GEQ (ie sort(boolean ascending)) , I would prefer separate sort_ascending or sort_descending for example.

The reason we don't have reactors that recycle nuclear wastes is because ecologists have attacked the next-gen model with a bazooka.

I tried co-housing for three months with 6 people my age or older. It is very different than living with people in your 20's & 30's. Everyone was way more considerate: the place was clean (we all had chores), most of us liked to cook so there were periodic house meals. The only thing I didn't like was that I had my room and that was it. I'm into hobbies and there wasn't a garage or shed, and the basement was storage.

I liked it, I had no complaints except for not enough fridge space (we had two) and not enough craft space. I would need a shed for my ceramics. I could definitely see myself doing this.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I was dating at the time and it was about 50-50 between people who thought it was cool and people who were like "no effing way."
I can't match the near-unhinged brilliance of the above comment, but I'll add that many meditation traditions encourage serenity by inspecting the details of the ordinary instead of a constant grasping for new stimulation.
In that case it is a trivial obvious observation not worthy of elevating to a “principle”.
I know a number of people who have just gone back to torrenting everything they care about (such as For All Mankind or Foundation) and are very unlikely to ever subscribe to a 2nd, 3rd, 4th streaming service.

They either picked netflix and have stayed with it at $22/mo or have changed from netflix to 1 other service like paramount+ or whatever, but the idea of paying $50-60-80 a month for more services on top of their residential broadband connection at $55-85 is a non-starter.

> Netflix losing subscribers is a false narrative.

So is that why the increasing competition from the likes of Apple, Disney+ and HBO, recent price increases and password sharing loopholes have plagued its growth?

All of that explains why they are (still) losing subscribers. Pulling out of Russia, just accelerated it and that was self-inflicting.
I think we should be building the best LWRs right now to decarbonize immediately: ABWR, APR-1400, AP1000. My favorite decarbonize rapidly at scale idea is to build a shipyard-based nuclear reactor gigafactory and mass-produce floating PWRs. (This was actually almost done in the 1970s in Jacksonville Florida. They had a manufacturing license from the NRC, the world's largest gantry crane installed and, everything [1]).

Assuming we do build 1000+ gigawatts soon, then we will need to look into nuclear fuel recycling with breeder reactors. The most popular Gen-IV concepts in this area are sodium-cooled fast reactors (SFR) and thorium molten salt breeder reactors (T-MSRs). We have 450 reactor-years of experience with SFRs and like 5 with MSRs. Many of the SFR years were not great, and the MSR tech performance has never been seen at industrial scale (though China is about to turn on a T-MSR really soon!)

So yeah I'm kind of a "decarbonize now with what we know 100% works" person. Focus on Gen-IV is fine for some people, but I think the industry and fans of the industry are way too overhyped on Gen-IV and not nearly hyped enough about Gen-III+. Japan can build gigawatt-class ABWRs in 36 months.

We had a ABWR licensed and ready to build at South Texas Project but we just let it sit there. What a sad sad thing. That's a billion carbon-free watts we are not using.
