> “Humanity should change its baseline behavior“ is a sign of someone who is more interested in decrying the status quo than they are in fixing anything.

The last 20 years in improving building and vehicle energy efficiency never happened?

> You cannot fundamentally change humanity

Also the last 10.000 years never happened.
Yes, and the carbon storage of all the seagrass sugar in the world is roughly equivalent to one day of automobile driving in the USA. But everywhere in the article it is phrased to make it appear like a world changing amount of carbon. Why?
The ‘cheap money’ issue isn’t a short term one. It’s been steadily dropping with only minor hiccups since the mid 80’s - about 40 years ago. The last time the US had a inflation hit, at that time due to the Oil crisis.

Mostly to keep juicing the economy, which has steadily been needing it more and more to grow/less responsive to stimulus.

Folks I know who have done the AirBnB route were often getting mortgages and buying properties to let out, using the short term cash flows to pay the (low interest rate) mortgage.

Which makes sense as an investment, because the mortgage was cheap (cheap money) compared to current cash flows.

It has become more and more
pervasive, until it stopped being able to make money due to saturation. Younger folks traveling around during Covid using AirBNBs helped (they were trying to avoid lockdowns and ‘dirtier’ hotels), but not sure how it is going to play out now.

Anyone who had a 30 year mortgage they got then is going to do pretty fine though as long as they have cash flow.
I tried installing Airflow locally to just play around with it and make sense of what it's good for and finally gave up after a few days - the install alone is insanely complicated, with lots of tricky hidden dependencies.
I agree, the anti-drone aspect needs to be low-latency. But I actually expect that soon, most drones will come with some anti-drones aspects, and some will will be multi-purpuse, capable of launcing some anti ground ordenance. For that part, they may come with a manual mode, for a while longer.
> some giant company isn't in the middle monetizing both sides.

It seems with Helium, it's not some giant company in the middle monetizing both sides, but the fiat/HNT exchanges that are doing that.
Sounds like a fantastic way to rapidly maim a hawk.

I would say never stop learning but also never stop practicing. I flip back and forth between study and coding (or music, or any other practice) to get some hands on in using what I just learned. Often, I stop in the middle of "real work" to learn something, or stop reading in order to try something.
Your brain needs glucose to function. It can only use ketones for so much of that. If you don't eat every 4 hours, you are probably depriving your brain of glucose. Might not matter if you have a white collar office job that mostly involves Slack and Jira. Slightly more relevant if you're working outdoors in hot, humid weather.

A handful of raisins or cashews would suffice for these, and spacing out snacks in this way leads to less net caloric intake overall
Do you have more examples for better tools, ideally open source (unlike AWS Step functions)?
Good point! Lowest wage I ever had was $7.40/hr. That was the minimum wage for my state at the time. It was a whole 15 cents more than the federal minimum wage.

15 cents * 8 hrs/day = a whole $1.20 per day above the federal minimum wage. It was awesome.
In most of the US a car is a necessity. Public transport is either non-existant or so badly done it is effectively unusable.
The TOR browser (based on FF) has this implemented for some time now. It resizes the window by a large (I think 50px) grid instead of single pixels. That way the window sizes are adjustable by the user, but still less unique than pixel adjusted.
Mainstream news is also in the business of manufacturing consent. When you see the big picture that what you're consuming is not facts, but an elaborate operation to sell you a narrative and make you feel a certain way, you feel like staying far away from it.

Maybe there's a compromise that would work, like an open office with lots of movable panels covered in sound-deadening foam traingles to break up the echoes (might look ugly for when the investors take a tour though...)
While I agree that PhD students don't get enough cash on a weekly basis to get buy, they are certainly compensated well above what is quoted in the article.

International PhD students by law cannot work more than 20 hours a week. Most institutions cap paid responsibilities at 20 hours a week. Most have 9 month appointments, most likely get the full cost of their tuition and fees waved. Most of the time waved costs such as tuition are not counted as compensation so are tax free. Most likely get healthcare.

A PhD student at U-FL has an effective compensation package well above 75k per year even though they only directly see 18k in pay.
Good point - tho if you are wearing protective optical gear and you can expect the enemy is not wearing it...
Who needs to buy 15 gallons of gasoline daily (unless in the transit industry or doing a long road trip)? Seems like a mismatch between frequency of earning (days), and car filling.

Most people fill their car weekly or less. Heck, since the pando, I do it less than once a month.
What I'm trying to convey is that it's a misunderstanding that the server renders the page for the browser, and that reporting innerHeight/Width properties to the web server ("the webpage") is a requirement for having anything pop up on the screen.
> If you can't be specific enough to be scientific about it, just keep it to yourself

Why?

What you're doing right now is telling other people how to live their lives. Is that ok, or should you be scientific about it, or keep it to yourself?
That's very true. I think that having a target that a student or parent can push for, that is independent of wealth (directly, if the program is free), is a really good thing to have.

I don't have any magical solutions other than that. I do understand that being able to provide resources for a student in early life is directly influenced by wealth and greatly improves the odds of success. How do we encourage this among parents who don't have this wealth? My mom used to wake me up early on weekends and put me up on the counter, making me recite times tables. Small things like that, that can help equalize the playing field because they are not directly tied to wealth, should be encouraged for parents.

This fits perfectly well in HN's title character limit: "Orwell’s 1984 about liberalism not totalitarianism, claims Moscow diplomat"
With only 5% of all IT spending on any cloud provider, “most” companies aren’t running on any cloud provider

Chomp chomp, the mega consolidation of power continues.

I wonder what may change over the next 10-15 years with regard to creating these huge, high-powered, too-big-to-fail whale sized companies consisting of a collection of large previously standalone enterprises?

Does tech move too fast to get trapped into regulatory controls?
I was a little skeptical of this because of the impact of state-level minimum wage laws that are higher than the federal, so I pulled up the data on how many people are paid the US federal minimum wage.

Turns out that 1.1 million people have jobs that pay the federal minimum wage or less. But that number does not include tips, and about 60% of those people work in restaurants or bars. It's hard to say how much in the way of tips they get, but it's fair to say that there are at least 440,000 people who are earning no more than the federal minimum wage and don't get tips to make up for it.

That's about 0.6% of the hourly workforce. For them, filling a 15 gallon tank of gas would take 10 hours of labor, or even more after deducting employee taxes.

Also, while the federal minimum wage demographic skews young, about half of the 1.1m figure above are over the age of 25.

Above data is per the BLS.
The vast majority of coaches don't make this kind of money. I refuse to believe tuition is insanely high because of coaching salaries. I was actually under the (possibly incorrect) assumption that coaches salaries come largely from boosters and things like ticket sales, jersey sales, etc.
I believe that FunnyBadger is pointing out that people have been pointing this out for a long time and is frustrated that nobody has paid attention to it until it became a crisis. You know, kind of like how we treat every other problem we have.
My grandma smoked with every meal and lived well past her 90s, what's your point?
3 years' of pain is worth it for many in computing, data science, and engineering, because it will definitely give candidates an edge for the rest of their careers.

But PhDs in some (not all) non-STEM fields almost seem like a blight on one's resume, and could make a PhD candidate's career harder, not easier.

Is that a signal there's an oversupply of PhDs in some disciplines? Possibly.

Interested to look into longitudinal studies of PhD students of different disciplines and where they end up 10 years' later..

A lot of speculators also bought assuming increasing property values, so if it’s flat for 5 years or whatever, then that’s going to nuke their gains. Meanwhile they’re paying out real cash every month.

Somewhat agree, but the game puts websites in a very tough place.

If you're depending on writing articles for income, either you do the dark patterns and scrape by, or you run out of money and close shop.

For news reports it's even worse because there's heavy incentive to use low quality sources for your posts.

I hate proposing yet another subscription service, but it would be much more bearable for everyone to have a netflix style model.

Flat rate a month in exchange for free access to quality news and content without the dark patterns.

I'm certinaly not holding my breath on that happening though.
There should be some limit on how far the price varies, but it is an illusion, that electricity costs the same independent of time. For normal household appliances, there isn't too much flexibility - you need light, when it is dark, cook for the meals etc. But with heating and especially with electric cars, flexible costs make a lot of sense.

Even more in the industry, which is the larger consumer of electricity and needs incentives, to shape there consumption on availability, as far as it makes sense. It could make sense, for a company to invest into battery storage, if it saves costs. Or alternatively pay the utility companies for providing this service.
Why do product teams need deadlines?
I would say the only defense againts small, cheap drones, are small cheap anti-drones. These would be able to shoot down the cheap drones at the cost of a few bullets and a gallon of fuel.

Interesting seeing this response after you just posted:

>If you can't be specific enough to be scientific about it, just keep it to yourself

Was this a tongue-in-cheek demonstration of your point? Or is vague criticism only unacceptable in academia?
Sure, but I seems like there was some miscommunication about the current research; what's active and what's a mere 'interest' in the department etc.

Anyway I've no horse in this race!
I think one of the biggest issues with nuclear power is that they are designed to last decades yet they need to bee maintained properly operate safely over time, which can be a bit expensive and responsibility shifts over time so it gets "forgotten" easily and leaders can blame their predecessors if something bad happens.

Well written article. One question I always have when reading such an article. Is it really worth it for these kinds of companies to run Airflow on Kubernetes. You could also run it for example on AWS Batch with Spot instances.
Loyalty cards, Bluetooth/Wifi sniffers, facial recognition and license plate cameras all gather identity / pseudonymity data. Backend servers correlate those sensors with PoS terminal data and sell the result to all sorts of unsavory companies / governments.

Not all STEM is created equal. While there may not be thousands and thousands of jobs for a biology PhD, there are over 1 million open software/IT jobs. The good paying jobs are focused on what we value as a society. Clearly we value tweets and tiktoks and apps on mobile. We don't value teachers and nurses and lots of other essential jobs. If we want change, that is where we need to focus; find a way to value contributors to society.
To be fair, if you graduate in four years, and are alright with state universities or community colleges, and major in some kind of field that allows you to be an engineer, university doesn't have to put you in lifelong debt. Many students do community college for the first two years, and then finish at a university, and end up on the order of ~$30,000 of debt. That's a lot of money, but generally not a life-ruining amount for an engineer.

That's not even counting the weird universities like WGU, where you can get a bachelors for less than ~$15,000 without too much trouble.
It was helped by the fact that they were more or less launching them blind. The Ukrainians had the help of intelligence telling them where the Moskava was and where it was going, and that's crucial information for an AShM strike. I doubt the Howthis had that sorta targeting.

It's not exhausting, you're just refusing to understand the other side of the argument.

Criticizing in a vague way is precisely appropriate in a situation where you don't want to make the criticism specific to a single circumstance but are instead trying to make a broader point about a systemic issue.
I remember reading a concern of the US Navy that one of the few means of successfully attacking a (carrier group?) would be a drone swarm. Something where they're overwhelmed with just the sheer number of drones attacking.

"Wealth does not last more than 3 generations"

This is my translation from "富不过三代”, an old Chinese saying about the impossibility of sustaining wealth.

In some similar way, the power and wealth of a nation also is unsustainable. Every powerful nation falls eventually.

And even the whole earth undergo patterns of up and down. 20th century seems a peak of human civilization, and 21 century seems a slow match to the inevitable crash...
that's not what i meant to say.

what's wrong is that we keep trying to find out who or what is at fault instead of trying to find out how to actually make things better.

the question is: how do you encourage men to stick around? what makes them leave? who or what is incentivizing single motherhood? if it is economical factors, then those factors need to change. those are what i gave as examples.

what i hear is: being a single mother is bad. you shouldn't leave your family. don't do that. but that doesn't help. we need to get a better understanding of what causes families to break apart. we need to provide an environment that supports families.

being a single parent is not a cause, it is an outcome. we need to fix the causes for that outcome, if we want to change that.

encourage parents to rely on each other

what is that supposed to mean? a cynical reading suggests that this means that if only parents would rely on each other they would not have any problems. how about the ability to rely on society? because that is what is lacking. parents are on their own. i don't know, but is that what incentivizes single mothers? because they can get more help that way? if that is the case, yes, that should change, but not by providing less help to single parents, but rather by providing more help to couples, so they can stay together.

> What makes you think anyone at the economist knows anything or would know anything about chinese economic policy.

I don't know enough to evaluate that, so replace it with whatever they are more versed in, like US economic policy. It's just an example.

> The only thing the economist is good for is revealing the western elites' political opinions of china.

But even their negative articles about China are two-sided. They usually don't catastrophise. I've read a lot of them and they don't fit with the Econ being a mouthpiece for "western elites".

You know, when I'm feeling down, or bad, or am just generally in a terrible mood, I write. I get it all out.

And then I delete it without saving it. Not only does it never see the internet, but it never even leaves notepad. Because the purpose of my writing is to sort out my own feelings and make myself feel better. Putting it all out there for everyone to see when there's no crime being committed is just personal indulgence without any perspective.

I wouldn't want to work with someone who would put me on blast like that, and I don't know anyone else who would either. This isn't even an event where someone else did anything wrong. It's just the writer misunderstanding what being a PhD candidate is about.
Most of it goes to academic instruction expenses, and operations. The fast growing expense is more likely the latter as administrations have rather grown in size per student.
Land appreciates in value too, even if the universities may own campuses, it remains in the balance sheets.

Research is also a cost, even though they some of it back, they aren't VCs so this can bleed money there as well, and pretty fast, especially for underperforming institutions.

I'm shocked shocked by the tuition fees in the U.S. But comparing with India and even Europe is a bit silly since those places don't compare in term of university ranking and average income level. Those professors/researchers are packed with long years of studies plus a loan they had accumulated themselves so it's a bit like a positive feedback loop.
