There's very much a system of water rights already in place on the Colorado river. The problem isn't solved.
$150 is not exceptionally affordable. There have been many PCs and laptops for that price for a long time.

The main barrier to devices actually being affordable to most people are import taxes. The majority of the world's nations have very high duties. So either you have to produce completely locally or convince governments to stop shooting themselves in the foot out of greed.
Agreed. HN for high scores for now I suppose! 347,319 in 0.7 years best I could do in 15 minutes.

> “We are facing the growing reality that water supplies for agriculture, fisheries, ecosystems, industry and cities are no longer stable due to climate change,” Trujillo said.

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. See Figure 2 (page 10) [1]. This is a decades-long trend of outflows increasing based on estimates of inflows that were unrealistic from a particularly wet period.

In some ways this is just like the mass shooting problem: people look around for all sorts of reasons that aren't the obvious, which is the easy access to firearms. Here too people look around for any reason but the obvious: agriculture is using too much water.

Agriculture is simply going to have to transition to using less water-intensive crops. We're still "exporting water" to China in the form of alfalfa [2] in addition to other water intensive crops like almonds.

We don't need desalination. We don't need cities to cut back on water. agriculture will have to take the hit on this one.

Mach 3 is an amazing technology (find the dumb razor that works for you), and I don't touch shaving cream. I'll use some soap for some lubrication if I want any.

Modern electric toothbrushes actually clean your teeth better. More of a hassle, but with a payoff.
You’re right it’s a bit harsh. I admit I don’t fully understand the reason why obese people can’t climb out of the hole they’ve dug. It’s psychological like you said but also societal (food is becoming less nutritious, as well as readily available empty caloric foods). If people lack the ethic to revert course then we need to start fixing the underlying issues causing people to overeat to such an extent in the first place.

I still think it’s helpful for people to know that their weight issues are usually fixable as long as they have the determination and desire, there’s people that do this every day and share their journey
I’ll get my top people on that right away

I think of NFTs as a DB entry on a shared database.

The benefit is someone else can make a marketplace, analytics or other tools that work for many items across many games without you having to spend time implementing them yourself or creating and maintaining an API for this data.
Because the EFF reliably argues that what apple is doing is "bad" and we should open things up so default (govt) laws apply instead of the apple walled garden rules.

What has happened is apple has taken on things that EFF / govt have failed to succeed at in the broader internet / app / tech space. They are leveraging their market power to demand concessions that users would NEVER get negotiating individually, and that govt has completely ignored in the online marketplace world.

These are things as simple as crystal clear trial terms where ongoing monthly cost is in EXACT same font as promo rates and much more. Why isn't that the rule everywhere? Even if it was the rule, where is the enforcement? We see overseas call center scammers ripping off folks blatantly day and night - crickets.

So the moralizing from these folks who seem to do nothing to solve real programs is tiresome. The market is speaking, and it's away from trust in govt and eff and into trust in Apple with correspondingly insane profit margins to apple as trust is substituted.

I'm not saying this is a good thing, but I'd like to see a LOT more done by govt against MANY MANY pure online scams and bad behavior. Instead, EFF and the govt are fixated on folks like apple that frankly are showing the EFF up horribly by creating spaces online that users like.

And yes, that includes the CSAM content stuff that EFF freaked out about. Average users will WANT these controls for their kids etc.
>biodegradable

Okay, so is this biodegradable, or is it "biodegradable"?

For instance, PLA is "biodegradable" - it can only be composed in an industrial composting plants. Does this chassis simply disintegrate into plastic compounds, or is it reduced to bio-friendly materials (carbon dioxide, water, and biomass)? Can I throw it in my compost heap and have it rendered as biomass after a couple months? If not, it's going to take up room in a landfill.
People who wear normal glasses already 'enjoy' a terrible field of view.
no - for me it's anecdotal and I accept that is weak evidence by any reasonable measure. I guess you can cite things like the Oculus app being the most popular download on iOS last Christmas, etc.

But the way I see it rippling through that demographic is pretty crazy ... the kicker is that to join in with multiplayer you need a headset to play. So once a couple of them are doing it there is a pretty strong pull for the whole group to get on board. My theory is that this demographic is a bit "under the radar" and hence we are seeing less reporting on this than you would otherwise.
I have seen Twitter used for publishing small bits of immutable data - not perfect but covers a lot of use cases.

you're thinking of the second ave subway. that's where the $2B/mile figure comes from. and that's nothing compared to what we're about to blow on the gateway project. portal bridge was coming in at $10B/mile last time I checked, making it by far the most expensive bridge ever built. and it's just a normal bridge.

but if VTA gets it's way and builds the SJ BART extension i'm sure they can put out some impressive numbers of their own (this extension should not be built at any price btw).

the insane cost of transit development and housing in the states are two sides of the same coin. to a first approximation they are caused by the same thing, and cause the same problems in our cities.
they arent really water rights, they are fictitious entitlements to more rainfall than exists.

A contract promising something that breaks laws of phisics would be considered invalid. These rights should be too.

Climate change is the ultimate scapegoat for everything! It’s a politicians’ dream, something nobody can solve but everyone can blame
This! SO much, this!

This is precisely how I feel about the situation.

The EFF article doesn't seem to provide a solution that keeps the privacy control still in favor of the user while breaking down Apple's monopoly of an app store. Until there's a proposal that includes incentive for companies to protect their customer's privacy (as you pointed out, this is not something you can just control with code, this is something the company has to actively pursue and enforce) while enforcing the freedom of choice and inability for Apple to force high commissions to make apps available or sell anything, really... then what we have is still going to serve a large part of the market in a net positive way.

> Exactly. Once again the free market to the rescue. Price the water based on supply and demand and watch how much more efficient farmers get.

Ah, yes, have the government change the price and the free market will take care of everything. We need regulation and enforcement, not just a movement in decimal point and fine print for a few parties.
Why do you assume malice?
VPN is definitely one trigger. A friend with a completely genuine and tame account got blocked for months and the only non-standard thing he did was access it via a VPN.

Unfortunately, the non-spammers using VPNs are unlikely to be desirable users (high level of contribution, receptive to ads) so might be seen as acceptable collateral damage.
Yeah, I get that distinction, and the vagueness of the phrase 'open source' doesn't help with this kind of definition.

If IBM put US$1B into 'Linux' 22 years ago - but this was a small part of their operating budget at the time - do we look at absolute or comparative value?

If IBM buys, three years ago, RedHat for US$34B, does that mean IBM is now the biggest 'open source' company? (If so, the next question is obvious.)

It’s easy really. Walk. As a senior it’s insulting to expect to do a four hour take home test. When you hire a Michelin star chef do you make them make you a four course meal to prove they can cook?

Do you make a surgeon do four hour surgery?

It’s absolutely asinine that we accept this behavior in our industry. You’d be laughed at by every possible candidate in other industries.
People can quit whenever they want which is the main point.

Instead of banding together and threatening the management and owners with strike action it’s better that they quit because maybe there are other people who are happy to do the work without a union.

I think the problem is most people don’t imagine themselves as owners/managers. If they did they would oppose unions too because they would not want their autonomy taken away.

I believe this can be fixed with kerberos, but in practice very few people probably deploy it that way.
Sure, it's easy unless:

* You are dependent on your employer for your work visa;
* You are dependent on your employer for your health insurance (US-specific problem);
* You have don't have much experience in industry and thus will not easily be able to find a similar job;
* You don't have enough savings to be able to be unemployed for a period of time while you find another job (doubly so if you have dependents or you have a non-compete agreement which would make you unemployable for a significant amount of time);
* You have a criminal record that makes hiring far more difficult; or
* There are few competitors in the space where you have expertise (or the few competitors you do have wouldn't hire you for one reason or another).

There is a very large number of people which would fall under at least one of the above points.
I’ve seen a lot of full-day (realistically 4-5 hours) interviews end in a no-offer. This is obviously true for one-of-one positions (CISO and other singletons), but even for one-of-several, candidates sometime bomb.

The question was "how the US government can stop people from making a transaction on the blockchain?" More specifically: what government who would have the capacity to stop people from using a dapp?

Can the US government stop people from getting their (completely KYC'd) crypto and exchanging on Uniswap? Can it stop them from making a Tornado Cash transfer? Can it stop them from buying a domain name on ENS?

The answer, of course, is no, they can not. Your talk about government reach is just unrelated bullshit.

Hmm, interesting, I may have been misreading you.

I agree that 6-year-olds and other people without any production sysadmin or SRE experience are going to have a pretty bad time learning to build and deploy a Kubernetes cluster.

My point is that any professional sysadmin or SRE can learn Kubernetes just fine. Yeah, there's a lot of stuff, but there's just about as many moving parts as I expect for a system that handles what Kubernetes does. You also mostly don't have to pay complexity cost for many optional features you don't care about; you can get a minimal cluster up, and then grow it as you need more features.

I don't follow what you're saying about port 443. The kubelet API is not listening on port 443 by default. I'm as confident as I can be without checking that no kubernetes components listen on port 443 by default.

Speaking more broadly, I agree that someone with no SRE experience and no network security experience won't get much value from 30 seconds of nmap. What I was trying to say is that "accidentally exposed the kubelet API to the global internet" is something that I expect a competent sysadmin to be able to detect and notice with 30 seconds of nmap.

When I'm saying "deploying kubernetes is fine", I'm saying that anyone who has any business running nontrivial production services in a professional setting will not have any trouble learning to use and deploy Kubernetes. Deploying a cluster does require competence with sysadmin or SRE fundamentals, but not particularly more so than other systems that handle similarly-complex topics.

Also, any junior sysadmin or programmer should be able to learn to use an already-running kubernetes cluster to deploy basic services with no trouble and just a bit of time. I have trained quite a few people on this, and it really does go just fine.
They'd probably rent for $3k month. With no water.
> It is more about inertia.

Can't agree more. A few years ago, I joined a large healthcare organization to take a break from the startup grind. During my tenure, I witnessed the selection process of an issue tracking system and a chat platform.

They picked Teams for chat even though Slack ruled, and Teams was way behind in features. Why? Because it was the easy choice. They had the typical Microsoft stack just like every other large company, so go with Teams even though it sucked.

They picked Jira for issue tracking. Why? Because it was the easy choice. No one knew how to fully leverage it, and there was no way workflows would get buy in across the whole organization.

In large companies, especially non-tech ones, tooling decisions are driven more by laziness and CYA than what's the superior product.

I'd add "* If they have a portfolio, then, for Gods' sake, look at the damn thing."

"Draw the Jackass" tests are what you give folks that have no track record, and nothing to show you what they can do.

Speaking only for myself, I have a portfolio of over 40 open-source repos (single-origin -me), containing multiple build and deploy applications, SDKs, libraries, tests, hundreds of pages of documentation, dozens of blog posts, a decade of checkin history, and testimonials out the wazoo.

It is a mortal insult to ignore that (or, even worse, indicate that "I probably faked it"). If you want to hire people, then I suggest that you don't start by insulting them.

These are not people that you are doing a favor, by hiring them. These are people that are your equals -or better. I spent 25 years, interviewing and hiring senior-level engineers. I never gave one damn leetcode test. I did spend a great deal of time, drawing out their passion projects, enthusiasm, and personalities.
While true, there is:

The problem isn’t the four hour take home. It’s the multiple interviews then surprise we need you to interview for two days with our junior engineers all from MIT and Stanford and go over how you think you would improve our systems. Thanks but no thanks.

Back to 3.5" / 1440kb is not too bad. Though the new drives are kinda crap compared to old ones in reading many disks.

But going back a little further-- reading Mac 800k disks, or 5.25" floppies, or things that are not DOS formatted--- gets harder and harder.

Came across this video today, it's an interesting look at how the lake level has dropped over the years: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCBG_aVkv4s
The take home is a no go because its goal is make me invest my time with no corresponding investment of the other person's time. From a game theory perspective that makes my time disposable to them. I'm used to full day interview rounds and in principle I don't mind doing a 4 hour programming exercise, but only if one of the company's own engineers is there in the room with me talking to me while I work. That way we are both investing time. A paid initial engagement is of course also fine. Or perhaps a $1000 donation to the nonprofit of my choice would do it. I'm not necessarily in it for the money myself, but I need to see evidence (in evolutionary terms, an "honest signal") that the take-home isn't an exercise in bullshit.

The other trouble with take-homes (as someone mentioned) is the incentive to incessantly refactor and polish the code, write tests, etc. So it goes way beyond the 4 hours mentioned. I felt ok doing a 30 minute thing like that once, but only because it was a timed online test, "press go when you are ready to start". So I knew it would not run over 30 minutes.

The take-home thing might not immediately be a red flag to a naive participant, but once you've done a couple of them, you get to realize they are bad news. The exact reason companies want to do them (so they can burn the candidate's time without burning any of their own) is the same reason experienced candidates know to refuse them.
Yeah, I was just thinking about this before reading what you said. Thinking about the possibility of Meta running their own store is a horrifying idea.
Tweets can be deleted though - that’s not an immutable store of data.
Metrics will always be "gamed".

The key is making the "game" the easiest way to get teams to do what you want done: A/B testing, TDD, etc.

Once you've built in that institutional muscle memory, you can deprioritize and move on to other things.
there is no definition that you can attach to "class", that makes it correct for this usage, unless you want to change what the word means. Heres a good quote [1]:

> an expression /re/ can be used to specify a range of lines (matching the pattern), which can be combined with other commands

So the command contains a regex, but its not a regex itself, and its not a class of regex. Sorry, but you don't get to just say "well that's not my definition", and get out of it. Sometimes, you're just objectively wrong. It would be like saying you "donated" something, when you really "pledged" it.

Comment := (name, time, text)

…and everything else is culture or auxiliary tooling. It’s a schema as old as Web 2.0 and it works because most people just want to talk to each other and search for stuff they think or know is there.

100% of the time I just want to announce either what I want to do, or comment on something that’s in progress. The communication and progress tracking are the most important things for keeping me and my team aligned.

What does Jira get wrong? Bureaucracy. Modern day online triplicate form filling disguised as “agile” is still pen pushing.

Pro-forma for bugs is friction — I should be able to file a bug without having to think about how to categorise it. Have another tool / view for nagging me about that, not the create-bug workflow.

Epics / stories / tasks / sprints / bugs: what if I make a task when I wanted a bug? What if made a spike that’s really a task? Why does this matter so much at the top level of the “task” entity — it should just be a tag on a task and nothing more fundamental than that. Let me modify the structure of my task tree myself.

Clutter, of course. Jira has 15 fields of stuff per issue that could just all be tags once we’ve spent the first week shaking out what kind of patterns are appearing in our own team’s workflow.

Projects: why is it a three stage process to move an issue between projects, and why should the issue id change when it moves? What if a piece of work is small but spans two projects? Tagging not taxonomy please.

Jira feels like it was designed for contributors and teams with zero discipline. Tech teams with any kind of serious hiring bar and leadership structure should have zero problem with trusting their staff with being succinct and meaningful with communication, including with how they track tasks. If you need Jira to enforce this, then I feel sorry for you as I pass you by to join a different team who know how to and want to work together without form filling.
And who's to say that the current management isn't doing a poor job? Based on Glassdoor and Blind, they've been experiencing high turnover and mixed reviews at best. So why shouldn't the management and owners be held accountable for questionable decisions? Why are you so insistent that workers get no say, and can only leave? On what basis is blind obedience mandatory in the workplace?
MariaDB does too, I have a feeling I've noticed others at some point, but that was one that came to mind.
