Due to my recent job search for remote positions in the US, I've seen a lot of postings in CO which include the salary ranges. While some do use stupidly wide ranges, most companies post more reasonable ones. I'm able to filter out those in the former group because this law they have has effectively exposed their dishonest hiring practices, and the companies that aren't trying to obfuscate their pay have also been exposed.
It makes sense to talk up the guys you beat, since it amplifies your own achievements. Did the victors write about the Spartans?

>How can you prove that the people didn't just come back 6 hrs later and spend the same time clicking and viewing the same ads?

Why do you assume intelligent people who make decisions based on this haven't tracked spend by week, spend by month, regression models and the five hundred other ways to try and model this? We're talking about trillion dollar industries and you're assuming they don't do basic sanity checking.
When the message is that there should be literally no second of your day that is left un-dedicated to improvement and making money. Yes mental illness is a good word for it.

If you do that you will become insane and quite literally die. You will also fail at hustling because the vast majority of people are not in physical condition to maintain this level of output.

DOE announces $504M loan guarantee for Utah hydrogen project storing 150 GWh
Hey Joseph,

How does one prove that a hardware exploit is actually 'unpatchable'?

Thanks
Hah, I had a mac360! I used it when working on some early Kinect voice-recognition stuff.
I guess I just wanted to thank the people who replied :))
But I do agree I have issues - as you said I've replied yes yes yes I'll try oh well :(
I don't know that timesaving was mentioned, but it still would save time in terms of jumping in and out of games on the browser.

I don't see how fragmentation alters the cost-benefit of only paying for the timeshare of compute resources actually played. Cost saving would be assumed to actually increase due to fragmentation in the space.

For example, if I want to play AAA games on my own hardware my options are (basically):

1). Gaming PC

2). Xbox Series

3). Playstation 5

With streaming the options I can think of (OTTOMH):

1). Google Stadia

2). Microsoft xCloud

3). PlayStation Now

4). Amazon Luna

5). GeForce Now

6). Smaller gaming-pc-in-the-cloud providers (e.g. Shadow)

7). Rent a remote machine and set up Steam/Origin/Epic

8). Whatever Apple gaming-in-the-cloud me-too comes along in the future

I'm not sure it's a market that's struggling for competition.
Best of luck with this project. Tooling is probably the hardest to migrate since literally everything depends on it and you can't really it parts by parts, also it is the classic if it doesn't break don't fix it.

Would be amazing if there's a script to quickly convert common mk files and cmake files into chalet format, that would absolutely help with adoption amongst legacy codebases.
Yes. And it's interesting to note how successfully the Energizer brand has co-opted it such that when seening "Duracell Bunny", an HN poster wants to "fix it."
Honestly, I find it easier to start from something minimal, read man pages, and then gradually make the setup more complex, rather than start from a massive heap of settings handed down from someone else.
That seems like a very small value proposition. I doubt the reason we see many demos nowadays has to due with the burden of creating a custom build for the demo.
That's too short of a timeframe in the silicon world. If it's considered important we'll see something in M3, but more likely in M4.
Both.

It allows the code base to match the people structure and has various technical benefits.

I agree that a tree structure can work well for mapping UIs, but HTML does not. It was specifically design as a textual markup language. Its role has been expanded, but it has been done so poorly.

What really needs to happen it a separation of HTML from UI markup elements. HTML will be used solely for textual markup and a new markup language can be used for UIs. This would allow us to return to a proper separation of concerns.
Doing layout with tables creates a mess of non-semantic cells, with spans everywhere. That is hard to read, hard to write, brittle on changes, and obscure the actual content. If you take a random page from the tables era, the odds are great that you won't be able to tell what text goes next to what other text.

Divs that follow the document's semantic hierarchy and are positioned on your CSS have none of those issues.

Anyway, a lot of ways to use Bootstrap and other grid-based frameworks introduce the same problems back. And if you want to really display things in a table, well, a table fits quite well your requirements.
The US is still a pretty good place for people with highly desirable skillsets, no / small families and specific mindsets.

If you're Average Joe looking to start a family, a middling job and no assets or inheritance to your name, it's pretty mediocre (though some would argue "well you could learn programming").
Yeah, I've tried tailwindcss, but having many rules of css on one line isn't even at all legible, nor do I want to use horizontal scrolling.
Of course they're not the only issue -- no one's arguing that.

Do you advocate for the disclaimer only because 1) the sample uses their product or 2) just because they sell a product correlated to the topic?

I see a lot of articles that fall into #2 being published here without a disclaimer. And I think a disclaimer isn't necessary for #2. Even for #1 I wouldn't bother, but I understand the expectation.

Many advocate a lot against ads, targeting, etc. If we also advocate against promotional content, what would companies do to get attention and traffic?

> It's hard to comprehend disinvestment given that tuitions have increased 10x over a few decades, but

Disinvestement is the exact reason tuition has increased. The discount funded by state legistatures is being reduced, so tuition has to go up to balance the books.
This might be what that looks like.

(1) Kill the subscription

(2) Immediate Priority: Biz-dev deals, make sure every major release's early demo is available on Stadia. Expose people to platform without requiring them to switch from a console.

(3) Secondary Priority: Focus SDK development on indie developers. Offer generous streamed minutes for all developer accounts. Charge per streamed minute after that. Let developers pass on the cost however they want.

With open pricing, open enrollment, open SDK, developers could do really amazing things with Stadia: and would figure out the business model.

Google could focus on driving down the cost per streamed minute as low as humanly possible, with the broadest possible access.

Amazon certainly will.

https://indieweb.org/POSSE has some in-depth discussion - for the vast majority of people publishing doesn't really matter because likely few will read so why not just use your own site?

In the off-chance your writing becomes noticed, you'll have it there.
OTOH learning how to debug cmake will guarantee your employment for life so there's an incentive.
It's a lot like inline styles. The big advantage is that you create a design language with the helper classes, and then your devs are constrained to use it. No one can add a border radius of 11 if you only have utility classes for 8 and 16, or whatever. Historically you couldn't do that if you were using inline styles.

You could do it with a cascading approach, but if you're building a component based application (this is what Tailwind is really for) then you already have an abstraction for re-usability. Trying to layer another one on top usually results in a really difficult to reason about mess of interlacing components and style classes.

In short it's a way to use an inline-type styling approach, which is suitable for component based apps, without giving up the ability to constrain developers to a limited design language.

There are a TON of other benefits for utility classes over inline, but I think what I described is the biggest one (media queries, pseudo selectors, stylesheet caching for reduced page load, etc.)

> How did we go from removing <u> and <b> to calling it <div class="bold" an improvement?

You can still use <u> and <b> if you want to. Adding a utility bold class also works fine.

Hi! This is an interesting idea. However, there is a problem that arises- if you rotate the key, then old pointers now become invalid. And since the kernel is always alive and servicing requests (and contains structures with very long lifetimes) we don't believe this to be a practical solution.

And if you're really worried about it you do your work in one repo and "publish" to another.
Colorado's law is written so that it would apply to any job that can reasonably be done by someone residing in the state. So if you're hiring for a remote position, under CO law you have to provide a salary range. It doesn't technically matter where _you_ are located.

As a result, some companies have started explicitly excluding CO from their job postings. I'm not a lawyer, but I think there's probably latent lawsuits there. Especially if they employ anyone in CO already.

Along these lines, during the pandemic some restaurants were using QR codes for digital menus for "safety reasons". Scanning the code would pull up a prompt to download their app, or a third-party app. Hopefully that nonsense fades away quickly, but I doubt it.

Quebec politics are complicated but the 1995 independence referendum was 50k votes away from a Yes/Quebexit majority, and independentist parties regularly win at the provincial level. At the federal level the Bloc Quebecois is independentist and usually gets 20-40% of the Quebec vote.

Currently Quebec has strong momentum relative to the rest of Canada and their prime minister is a soft nationalist populist who likes to stir up trouble with the federal government but public support for independence in Quebec is still around the 40% mark. There's no realistic scenario where Quebec actually becomes independent in the short term.
What I find really interesting is that if these were conservative students that did the same (for any topic) the other students would have gone ballistic, the school sanctioned them, and every Twitter warrior under the sun blasted them to pieces, but due to some magical reason, none of this happens when it comes to China/CCP (this is not the first time)

Then people have the balls to claim that US liberal organizations don't bow down to China (or their money I guess)

I bought a lifetime license to a server at cloudatcost, just a cheap little thing for me to run experiments on. It was never used for webhosting or anything that was mission-related in the slightest.

It was a hundred bucks, one time only fee, so even with low resources and minimum reliability it was worth it to me because of the one time only fee.

2 years in, they sent me a bill for $90, saying that if I didn't pay it they would cancel the service. I showed them my receipt for unlimited lifetime access, and they came back with "well, you still have to pay".

I said "I paid for lifetime access" and they gave me the, "we have altered the deal, pray we don't alter it any further" line so I canceled the service and smack talk them every chance I get. If you sell something under a specific license you shouldn't be allowed to change your mind after the fact. If I wanted to pay $90 a year for a cheap VPS I would have gone with a reputable company.

As an infrastructure engineer it is my job IMO to provide tooling, information, and services to reduce cognitive overhead for my peers and customers. For my job wouldn’t exist unless we had software to deliver in the first place. Utilizing existing cognates developers have is important for communicating the trade-offs we make in infrastructure. Developers are already asked a lot of them these days and only increasing (part of why I’m not a straightforward feature developer whatsoever anymore).

With some level of empathy for our stakeholders we can be more effective as a team and customer-vendor and so forth.

I am not really concerned by developers figuring out that this is that easy partly because it frankly isn’t yet to help make systems scale. And the day infrastructure is legitimately brain dead simple I’ll breathe a huge sigh of relief that we managed to tame this mess of short sighted decisions and bits and bytes plaguing humanity. So sad to see how something so important to our society is this stupidly unnecessarily complex, but once we look into many other disciplines we can see how they have their issues as well and that we as engineers and laymen tend to just be blind to the inherent complexities of human systems.
The original title was too long for HN. It was originally "DOE closes on $504M loan guarantee for Utah hydrogen storage project with 150 GWh seasonal capacity."

At 150,000 megawatt hours of storage capacity, this underground hydrogen storage project dwarfs recent utility scale battery projects and will demonstrate long term, high capacity storage for renewable energy. Seasonal energy storage projects like this can store surplus renewable energy generated in "shoulder season" periods to meet the higher energy demands of the summer cooling season or winter heating season.

From the article:

Using 220 MW of electrolyzers, the ACES project aims to convert excess renewable energy to be delivered by the power plant owners into hydrogen, which will be stored in two salt caverns.

The project will be able to store months worth of solar and wind overproduction in the Western U.S. and help shift that electricity into seasons when there would otherwise be energy shortfalls, said Michael Ducker, senior vice president of Hydrogen Infrastructure for Mitsubishi Power Americas and president of Advanced Clean Energy Storage I, the company behind the project.

...

The project will be able to store 150 GWh worth of hydrogen, or about the same amount of battery storage DOE expects will be on the U.S. grid in 2030, according to Shah.

“This level of storage is consistent with the amount of seasonal storage the National Renewable Energy Laboratory research found is needed to decarbonize electric utilities in the western United States by 2035,” Shah said Wednesday.
PS to everyone - thanks to everyone here!
Someone asked me for help today, and following a plethora of suggestions, I SUCCESSFULLY asked them for payment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel so accomplished!! I started asking THEM questions about their project, what they wanted. I then asked them about their budget, their proposed use case of whatever software they're building, and crept in talks on compenstation etc - ie I mentioned how I had my own startup, and I can't help too much etc.

They're offering a reasonable 15% equity in their venture + wages!!!! As suggested by people here, I'm gonna get this all in writing, do nothing on the job until its written, and add clauses on late payments, etc!

I couldn't respond to everyone here - but I wanna say - THANK YOU! Big THANKS!! I think I grew the most today in like 2 years :))))))

"Millions of people lambasted Will Smith not so long ago for doing just that."

Wasn't that due to the fact that he acted in a way that looked as if he actually cared to defend his woman?

afaik it had nothing to do with violence but more against having personal honour or pride and thinking of one's woman as him alone and having a sacred relationship with her that anyone insulting / degrading her is directly insulting the man, and that idea triggers the feminists to the moon and back I guess.

"even if said speech meets the Chaplinsky definition of "fighting words", that does not exonerate or justify one man's violence against another."
Then what is a man supposed to do? go to court over an insult? be rude and start a shitshow of exchanging insults? take it and move on? wait for the other party to initiate the fight? or what?

I am not a westerner by any means, just curious.

This is a great question! What this means is that a software patch cannot fix the speculative execution behavior that causes the PACMAN issue since it is built directly into how the hardware operates.
> I'm not sure why absolute values are inherently easier to analyze than rates.

Simple: $10K is greater than $8K. Analysis is complete.

Is 10% better than 8%? Not always. It depends on how much you put in and what the duration for those investments are. This is trivially true, yet so many people ignore this aspect.[1] People also get confused between simple and compound rates.

In a lot of real world investment situations, the inputs and timelines aren't the same. In real estate there are plenty of investments that require a minimum investment and have a fixed timeline (cannot withdraw in that time period). Quickly: Is a $50K investment at 8% compound rate over 7 years better than a $40K investment at 10% simple rate over 5 years?

There are also investment strategies that require periods of holding cash. It's not trivial to compare those with, say, an S&P 500 investment using only rates.

The standard taught in the engineering economics classes:

1. Fix your time interval to whatever is relevant for your situation.

2. Compute the cash you will have at the end of that time interval (i.e. absolute amount)

3. Go with the higher one.

[1] Yes - even in the absolute analysis, you should have the same timeline, and technically it's equivalent to a rate comparison in that sense. But I've found that when people do the absolute analysis, they never seem to forget to account for the timelines being the same.
"Factchecks" are nothing more than left wing propaganda opinion articles, they offer little to nothing of value. The "circumstantial" evidence is damning and they STILL refuse to investigate it.
