I don't recall where I had seen it, but there was a study at some point on the cost of covering the Sahara in solar panels. The CO2 emissions from the resources for the transmission lines- in steel and concrete especially- meant it would be a net positive CO2 contributor even after shuttering fossil fuel power plants.
and it still wouldn't be hyprocritical - free speech has nothing to do with being able to say anything somewhere and avoid consequences. It only has to do with protecting your ability to say those things.

If you call your friend mean things on twitter and your friend decides to stop talking to you, freedom of speech has not been violated.
I recall thinking that was an excellent blog post too… until I actually mentioned it to someone who knew something about the Aztecs, at which point we realised that both it and Clendinnen badly misremresented Aztec society as compared to European society. The relevant conversation may still be found at http://verduria.org/viewtopic.php?p=33912#p33912.
This may not answer your question on how to find users for your tool, but may be a suggestion to change "target audience" of your "productivity tool" from email recipients who get these sporadically to email senders whose job it is to send them (i.e: productivity tool for someone whose job it is to do a task and who want to do their job better and who could spend money on your tool as and write it down as tooling cost as opposed to individuals rarely receiving emails who'll see it as a nice to have and pay for it from their own pocket: how valuable is it, really).

There's an asymmetry here: do people receive more emails from recruiters than do recruiters receive from candidates?

I suppose you could change your product to serve recruiters and solve the problems they have. Maybe your product will help them so much that people will not feel a need to create a tool to deal with emails from recruiters, thereby eliminating that problem as a bonus.

Extractive summarisation of news isn't very hard, I guess it doesn't hurt to put it in an API wrapper and have a pay per use model, but don't expect this to sell.

Also FYI, depending on the News outlet the important info is usually at the top - it's maybe the first thing they teach you in Journalism (don't bury the lede). You don't need to read the "Bible-size" article if you read the first paragraph and it's well written.

However, if you did abstractive summarisation instead, that might be more interesting esp for financial news - you might have buyers.

They're accused of making employees feel "uncomfortable, intimidated and bullied".

Without knowing the details of the situation, I'm not sure we can confidently know whether these employees were being jerks or management were being jerks.
Ask HN: Why not combine Zoom with a restaurant chain to provide remote dining?
This way you would be able to take someone out to eat who is far away from you.

The restaurant chain could even provide tables where some of the seats are replaced with displays so you can easily see and talk to the people you are eating with.

You could even synchronize the actions of the two waiters/waitresses to make it seem like you are in the same restaurant.
Forever chemicals mean those with half lives over ~100 years.

PFAS potential chemistries number in the >quadrillions (because of the unbounded nature of molecular arrangements/variations).

PFAS half-lives also can range from seconds to centuries.

PFAS chemistries with greater than 100 year half lives (those developed during ww2) can be broken down quickly with catalysis such as Pt nanoparticle driven catalysis.

Recent research on PFAS in blood has found that blood donation is one way to reduce levels. (Tech could be implored to scrub said blood in principal).
As a thought experiment I once imagined electric trains running between populated areas and desert solar farms. Maybe they carry "green hydrogen" or perhaps just big batteries. After a few minutes and a good chuckle I moved on.
This is the thing - if you're going to be like Apple and dictate design, you have to get it right. macOS and Apple hardware is not to everyone's taste, and they make mistakes, but they prototype and dogfood and iterate like crazy and they have thumbnails in the damn file picker.

Yeah we are waiting on accountant to finish taxes (which are on extension) for 2021 so we can submit and get a statement of good standing with RI so we can renew our registration.

I got in touch with accountant today to see if they can escelate but they are still a few weeks out.

Elon Musk told Twitter (TWTR) employees that racist tweets should be allowed

So does that mean you should be allowed to think your boss is an asshole too??
This is why your CEO shouldn't be spending his days on Twitter bleating out college freshman-level hot takes on "freedom of speech." Right or wrong, this sort of thing will become like catnip and make everybody look ridiculous.
So what car would you rather own ? Which car company has owners that align with your values?
The employee/employer relationship is what’s different, along with the context (workplace activity) of where the communication is taking place. Unclear on why this is being disregarded. When did we start presuming that freedom of speech included the ability to, without consequence to your performance evaluation, talk shit about your employer or boss? The employer/employee relationship is all about your performance in relation to your compensation. Talking shit in a consequential way (in view of employer) reflects poorly on your performance for many and various reasons. When threshold of nuisance is exceeded, gtfo. Your contribution is eclipsed by your distraction.

No, five people were fired over this bruhaha.

Also, particularly exceptional contributors may continue to sign open letters about Musk.

Musk is free speech warrior that's why he is about to be taken to the cleaners on this Twitter deal.

...except when that free speech is a respectful letter crafted by his employees asking him to tone down his social media because it's reflecting poorly on their work.

Recommend watching this Google Talk. The way information bubbles up from experts right down to media through several layers of summarization and omission of facts is dubious and lacks critical oversight.

Your enthusiasm and blind trust is exactly what we don’t want in scientific inquiry. We want more skeptics when becoming a skeptic is considered politically motivated or otherwise.

Science only works when skepticism is fundamentally a feature, not a bug.

Prediction models have error bars that have wild std deviations, yet by the time people like yourself consume information through Climate activists, it has gone through about 7 layers of abstractions. Recommend reading Alex Esptein’s books on Climate alarmicism.

What I can accept so far is that there is some global warming due to human activity. It’s impact and severity is still questionable and not conclusive even by the experts of Climate science from NOAA, if you actually read the publications.
I think the problem here is the weight of the batteries and the need for power to move them. Maybe hydrogen by electrolysis would be more favorable, but then you need to pipe in water.

I feel like places like Russia would be too risky. Russia is just as interested in hosting "truthy" information that the US has problems with as anything else.

So you're hosting some leaks the US doesn't like, Russia decides there's a narrative around that ... but not all the leaks match that narrative and now you're in just as bad a place as any other.

Less free countries are just worse options all around ... and moving data isn't going to impress some of those countries / your locals will get harassed or worse if the same organization is hosting content they don't like elsewhere ...
Just a question: but are you considering the frequency of usage for a particular symbol in that suggestion? If {} is for opening/closing functions or code blocks/scope AND [] is for making arrays, lists, or some other data structure: do you only want them switched where, idiomatically, where there are less function definitions vs instances of the data structure? Or is it an overall objection to any shift+key operator in a basic syntax?
Oh but there is more employees can do than just work elsewhere for some other indifferent, childish blowhard; employees could not work until these childish snowflakes are dealt with.

Real trade can happen without the speculation game. Some people may not get to build rocket engines in such a system but the species doesn’t owe a minority of first world engineers everything they want anymore than it owes an even smaller minority of billionaires.

The propaganda has worked really well; you seem to actually believe human agency is coupled only to the money making endeavors before us today.

Past technology is a joke relative to ours and so will these fancy things we make today seem to the future. Fleeing Earth on rockets is not the only path. It’s the only path we are allowed to speak to. Alternatives would cause the wrong people to lose privilege and power.
> The whole point of the letter seems to have been “Musk’s behavior is detrimental to the company.” This implies that they care about the company and want it to succeed, and that their loyalty lies with it, not with Musk. As well it should. Tesla, SpaceX, etc are (or should be) companies, not cults.

Here's an experiment. At your place of work, circulate a document criticizing leadership and how they're all wrong. Make sure to publicize this loudly to people outside the organization. See what happens. What should the appropriate response be?

You have to work with these people and its incredibly distracting and out of line. These are children that think they can just shout down leadership and suffer no consequences. The rest of us who live in the real world understand that hierarchy doesn't exist arbitrarily and we're not entitled to have someone pay us while we're spitting in their face.
Whether they are offensive is a personal opinion and it's fully your choice whether to take offense.

Personally I don't. I also don't take offense at anything Chris Rock or Ricky Gervais says. Others do take offense to what they say. That's their choice, their opinion, and not one that can or should be enforced on others.
Musk is a total snowflake who cosplays as some sort of defender of free speech.

He's been tweeting random memes and joke content for many years. The only thing that changed recently is he said he might vote Rep rather than Dem.

Musk was a fool for bringing politics into this. But its also pretty dishonest for employees to claim to feel intimidated and bullied just because he's considering endorsing a different political party.
I have had MX Ergo failing due to switches wearing out after ~3 years of use and several hundred hours of Factorio. Both MX Ergo and M570 share the same D2FC-F-7N switches, so durability should be similar. I've replaced the stock D2FC-F-7N with D2F-01F for over a year and half and it has been working great since.

So Elon is a troll because he posts things you disagree with? Because that's the only explanation I can think of here. You didn't provide any evidence to support this assertion.

If you can say that, then you can say that Amazon’s prices and the taxes it pays on its revenues aren't directly connected.
We have these 'electricity trains' already in a sense, but they are tractor trailers containing fuel oil. It's not as crazy as it sounds, but there are better solutions available.
Over the past decade or two, the FDA has completely and comprehensively abrogated their regulatory duties.

They had an active role in marketing opiates as safe. They cannot keep factories safe enough to feed our nation's infants. They steadfastly refuse to remove harmful chemicals from our food and water supply.

It is utterly sickening, literally and metaphorically.
a company I used to work for would sometimes have to bulk book rooms with little notice for certain types of response operations. Sometimes we'd get a room key with a number when we checked into the ops center, sometimes we were simply told what hotel we were at, and all we had to do was give a company name and our name. Sometimes they'd ask to see our company badge but that was about it.
You're of course right that James Damore never sent mass unsolicited emails. However, this doesn't change the fact that unsolicited email is commonly acknowledged as a possible form of harassment and/or cyberbullying. It should go without saying that this might also create a hostile work environment.
Never sending another "unsolicited" email or slack message at work ever again for fear of being accused of "Hijacking internal systems" to ask Johnson for an update on the sales report.
There is no “how much it should cost”. If there are a lot of people who do not have better opportunities in life, then it will be lower priced. If people have access to better opportunities than spending time delivering food, then it will be higher priced.

When my family goes to their homes in a developing country, they have drivers and cooks and maids, because there is a huge supply of poorer people willing and able to do those things for a sufficiently low price for my family.

When they return to the US, they have to do all of that themselves, because there is not a huge supply of poorer people willing and able to do those things for a sufficiently low price.

Same thing applies to being able to shop on a Sunday evening, or get a burrito at 11PM, or 2 day delivery. I like seeing fast food stores closed due to insufficient labor, because that means the people that used to have to do those jobs for menial wages now have a better option.
Calculating the differential cost of code changes
Banning substances one after another has proven to be quite useless or even damaging approach. Another, less studied and potentially worse chemical compound will always substitute the banned ones. It’s an endless game of whack a mole to keep banning a substance for next random one to spawn.

More correct approach might be that if you want to use a chemical in food packaging or children’s equipment, you must first do long-term studies that prove its relative safety to other studied compounds. In time the world would start accumulating safer products. I won’t hold my breath though.
Credit Suisse may thought it was rude, may have been thinking about maintaining the relationship long term or may have suspected liquidating the assets would net it less than what was owed with no recourse for the other part.

You may be qualified for that, actually.
His time at PayPal was not concurrent with SpaceX and Tesla.
Hilariously, in both threads I have not seen a single comment claiming that "spacex is a private company and free speech doesn't apply and blah blah blah".
Great to hear! Hope it serves you well.
Haha, yes, I definitely realized I was doing some extremely on-brand yak shaving when I did it.
Musk himself isn't "bikeshedding" and "sowing internal discord" with his behavior? I've worked at companies before, and if you've ever worked at a company you'd know garbage flows down from the top. His behavior as an executive affects everyone and the company's goals.

It says that being trendy can be very profitable in the short term, but being boring and reliable works out well in the long term.

Consider that well over half of all Teslas have to go in for service within the first month of ownership. For such an expensive car, that is not a good look. Look at how many ex-owners now say they'd never buy another and refuse to recommend them to friends. Go ask GM and Ford how hard it is to regain a reputation that you have squandered.

I enjoyed my P3D. Mostly. It went like stink, which is why I bought it. Lots of misfeatures, though, and still missing obvious features every other car has. I'm in the camp of "won't buy one again, unless something big changes, the competition is better." and we are growing quickly in number.
You'll be surprised how many people are looking for a job and these companies know the numbers. That's the reason why they dictate the process. In some countries there's just not enough population to fill all the vacancies so the workers dictate the terms. eg South Korea.
The open-source IllumOS code in FreeBSD had fallen behind Linux ZoL (ZFS-On-Linux). FreeBSD adopted ZoL to keep up with new bugfixes, enhancements, etc.

https://www.freebsdnews.com/2019/01/10/zfs-on-freebsd-zof-is...

So, for open-source, ZoL is the 'mainstream' ZFS.
Wouldn’t a counter point be that the CEO’s behavior filtering out employees that care about Tweets deeply be positive?

Knowing that people like you with your reasons for not working there are not present and harassing people towards your view point could be a recruitment draw no?
When the news broke that Amazon was doubling the salary of corporate employees I mentioned on here how it felt wrong in comparison to what they pay their warehouse workers and drivers and got some backlash on here. A lot of talk about how an engineer provides XXX% more value and supply and demand.

Warehouse jobs are back breaking. I don't think they need to be paid as much as a software engineer, but they should be paid a decent wage and have decent work conditions.
I find that doubtful.
So free speech absolutist means you tolerate incoherent yelling in all places at all times? While you're trying to focus and get work done? While you're trying to sleep? At your wedding? At a funeral?
Edit: To put it more succinctly, Musk isn’t interested in free speech, he’s interested in his speech.

————

For what it’s worth, I agree with you, but I think that’s one of the least interesting parts of the issue.

From the context of the worker, there’s isn’t too much of a functional difference. Musk is acting as the arbiter of others’ speech. So he’s allowing anybody to say anything, unless it goes against the company line.

It’s not governmental control of the little people, but it’s still hella control of the little people, by a body that can’t be held responsible to the workers (the chances of Elon being voted out are nil).

Ultimately, I think we’re both agreeing that there can and should be social consequences for speech, it’s just that Elon has an army of well paid lawyers to help him avoid those consequences. In this case, the giant power imbalance seems like pretty fundamental framing to this issue. It’s not like both parties would suffer the same consequences for making the same statements.

(In short, if you don’t trust the government to regulate your speech, why on Earth would you trust a single unelected individual to do so?)
> It's funny to see this dynamic at a time when the federal minimum wage is still stuck at $7.25/hr.

If we raise min wage then they'll just fire people to make up the cost, not sure it's going to help
> His accomplishments are long and impressive

What are Elon Musks accomplishments? His ability to get financing? Hiring the right people to push the success of SpaceX and Tesla? His ability to inflate the stock price of his company (above that of a historic bull market).

This isn't a cynical comment, I'm honestly trying to understand his actual accomplishments other then the ancillary praise one gets in America just for getting rich(er).
Wow! Does anyone know what is built on and how it is this fast?
> I'm fully on board with the Wayland idea that an application shouldn't know or be able to modify its window position

Why? Genuine question - that sounds like an incredibly opinionated position for the display server to force up the stack, and I don't have a good intuition for why it should be necessary.
I'm not sure if I agree with you here. I don't know of a single smoker who actually blames the cigarette manufacturer.

You could argue prohibition was good because it drove all of those "evil" profiteering alcohol companies out of business, but at the end of the day the consumer demand was still there.
