This is what I was talking about when I dissed you for saying anything that wasn't existing yet couldn't exist. You need to censor your prejudices about renewable energy, your irrational dislike for it is leading you astray.

These are engineering projects, not science projects. They are becoming practical not because of huge advances in science fictional novelties, but because the economic context (where fossil fuels are going to be gone, one way or the other) is making approaches using largely off-the-shelf things competitive. Thermal storage, for example, is almost steampunk.

The big question with renewables is not whether it can do the job -- it clearly can -- it's which of the many subsidiary technologies will win.

> This tells me that having debt and no way to reliably pay it off is a really bad situation to be in.

How do you get that from this model? In this model it's equally as likely to go from -50 to 50 as it is to go from 100 to 150.

What I get from this model is there may be natural discrepancies in wealth not necessarily attributable to a systematic bias. It's what Taleb likes to call Mediocristan vs Extremistan. The tallest person won't be 100 times taller than the median person, but the richest person may be well over 100 times richer than the median person.

A fair game with power-law distribution unequal outcomes. The idea of inequality of outcome isn't itself an issue: problem comes when you start drawing inferences from this that aren't supported.

Just because the distribution produces ultra-wealthy doesn't mean those ultra-wealthy are any good. If actual merit is distributed as some percentage of the population, this experiment PROVES that allowing the power-law distribution to develop, means you are most likely taking resources from those with potential merit and awarding it, through random chance and the power-law mechanic, to an undeserving recipient, more often than not.

That's because the ultra-wealthy is just as likely to be useless as the ultra-poor, but each ultra-wealthy consumes resources equal to hundreds or thousands or millions of ultra-poor, some of whom would be useful and capable if they weren't at that lower boundary (which is a pretty crippling condition, as anybody knows who's been there).

Doesn't mean the ultra-wealthy can't be useful and capable… but the odds are increasingly against them, the farther up they are on the distribution.
> If Netflix starts cracking down on things like that it's just going to get really irritating for customers.

They are likely to err on the side of caution. Spotify already does this, on the same restriction, and it is a complete non-issue.

> Single household opens up a whole can of worms.

It really doesn't. Do you live in the same house? Then you're covered. And there's lots you can feed in to a ML model to catch out people who have devices that have literally never appeared together in the same household to spot suspicious activity and, for instance, for 2FA.

If that just stops people reselling accounts to strangers in different countries alone that's a significant win for Netflix.

> I can't wrap my head around how the printer market has turned into this absolutely dispicable, foul state that it is in right now.

Rent. You are effectively renting your printer, supplies are the payments. The hardware is expensive, sold cheaply, and supplies have high margins to make up for it.

It is often investors forcing this model.

I think that needs to be coupled to something implementing Douglas Adams idea of an Electric Monk:

"The Electric Monk was a labour-saving device, like a dishwasher or a video recorder. Dishwashers washed tedious dishes for you, thus saving you the bother of washing them yourself, video recorders watched tedious television for you, thus saving you the bother of looking at it yourself; Electric Monks believed things for you, thus saving you what was becoming an increasingly onerous task, that of believing all the things the world expected you to believe."
> So below the threshold you get pushed down, above the threshold you get lifted up. It takes incredible effort and discipline to pass the threshold from below.

At the very low end you could be pushed down. If you can only afford $5000 for a car, it'll be expensive in the long run. But its also true that on the high end you get pushed down as well. If you have a lot of money and feel the need to buy an expensive car that's no more reliable than a much cheaper car. Plus you have to pay more for insurance, maintenance, etc.

Cool site, nice one. There's potential to save a lot of time when going back and forth between cropping tools. One of my usual workflows is reading big PDFs and I want to pick out the parts that are relevant to me. I could use a highlighter, but that wouldn't filter out the rest of the document, so I typically use a screenshot tool to grab specific areas and save them as pictures. But it can only make one screenshot at a time, which is a lot of overhead.

It would be cool to enhance this site so that it takes a PDF with multiple pages and allow you to do the same for that. But that's probably a lot of work compared to uploading a single picture file!

Except the nature of inkjet printing makes it just look inferior to the crispness of laser.
Even if this issue was real, we can safely assume the "solution" coming from the right-wing lobbyists would make it easier for Christian religious extremists to continue their usual grooming practices. Same reason why they don't outlaw child marriages.
Exactly. It's an experimental, easily reproducible, look into boundary conditions and wealth distributions in the total absence of merit or value.

Basically a proof that simple exchange of value can and does produce massive immiseration that serves no purpose and signals no possible merit or value.

Add any degree of either merit, or exploitation and criminality, to the mix and the distribution will just get even more ridiculous.
> Apple not allowing competition is the root of all evil.

There are plenty of browsers available for iOS. In all the ways that matter to consumers, they can choose a browser and the services associated with it.

All the WebKit haters are so loud and driven in their quest to "liberate" others, while the alternative is just looking for the most optimal ways to monetize their browsing habits. Google is the company US legislators need to beg not to collect personal information so citizens can be safe... which makes them much closer to the "root of all evil".
I did the same for a while, but it was a mess (700+ unsorted bookmarks on my main computer, 100s more on others).

I tried shaarli, but soon after I tried to build something myself, and I created share-links.

It's an open-source Django app that you can self-host, and that lets you store (and share!) links, titles, descriptions, and tags. Then it display them in a nice way (for me : not much css, a simple page with no js).

It took some dozen hours to get to the point where it's really usable, and it still have problems now (comments are not moderated, I just realized that you can't add a description in links or tags, but I will fix this soonTM).

Here's the link of the repo: https://gitlab.com/sodimel/share-links/

One cool feature is to set your browser homepage to the url that loads a random page : each day I get a cool article to read/concept to discover! (here's my own instance random link url: https://links.l3m.in/en/random/)

That's my useless side project (because shaarli already exist and it's way more mature).
It feels like flow: described a century earlier.
Uhm, that would be great. Not having my Cinema filled with comic book (or whatever the flavor of the decade is) trash but quality passion projects from people that actually care about art sounds amazing. And most money would go to actual artists and not faceless mega corps.
I think more generally it is a great example of this bias we have of taking high dimension, complex processes and reducing things to one or two variables.

If you want to print something once a month you can buy a cheap printer for like €40 – which is probably subsidized because the manufacturer thinks they will earn it back on selling you overpriced ink. But they won't since you will buy a single toner and cover all of your printing needs.

Anyway, I don't have a printer. I always just take my pdf and take a walk to a local printing service.

Until my kids were a little older, I had an old HP laser printer and then one of those cheap Brother devices. Now I use a little HP mfp with instant ink… it’s essentially a worry free existence.
Or there's just increased competition for screen time--including from the likes of TikTok and YouTube. And screen time is, if not zero sum, at least zeroish sum; there are only so many recreational hours in the day.

To be honest, I'm a bit surprised theaters seem to have actually bounced back reasonably well from COVID. I guess that a lot of people find them, among other things, a relatively low cost/low friction option to get together with friends, go on a date, get out of the house, etc.
My local library allows me to print for a few pennies per page. I need to print things so rarely and don't want a printer taking up space, so I've been using my library most of the time.
I have a three year old daughter. In her three years of life, I have recorded hours and hours of high quality audio of her. I've also encouraged her to bang on keyboards and drum pads and guitars, and recorded all of that, as well. I then took that material and chopped it, mutilated it, sequenced and mixed it, and released two albums of what I'm calling "classic industrial music", all under a pretend band name, with the credited musicians being my daughter, and our teenaged dog, who is also featured on many of the recordings.

Naturally, I then released these two albums to the world, where they have sold roughly 0 copies. This doesn't bother me, though; that was never the point. It is, in essence, a long-term elaborate "performance art" piece, that is intended for my own amusement, and possibly my daughter's amusement, once she gets old enough to "get" the joke. In the immediate time, I get value out of seeing her enjoy playing instruments and making sounds. And I'm giving her the experience of making music, in whatever way she sees fit, before she ever gets taught a bunch of nonsense about what ways are OK and not OK to make music through more formal training.

Any project that naturally holds your interest, is probably worth pursuing, regardless of the overall value to humanity. At least for a little bit. Because you're generally going to walk away with knowledge you didn't have prior to starting it, and benefits you wouldn't have predicted had you not gone down the path at all.

Oh yeah, also; don't take advice from me. I make horrible choices, then I commit to them.
You do not need an IP to broadcast a transaction, you could feasibly do it on paper, or broadcast through a remote node or overlay network gateway through TOR, I2P etc.
I find the outcome unintuitive. Each person has the same starting conditions and then randomly gives away a dollar each round. There's no interest or compounding factors mentioned. My intuition is that, given enough rounds each person could be expected to receive as many dollars as they give away. I guess pure chance would mean some so better or worse than that at any point in game, but overall I expected less variance and more people to be clustered around the starting amount.

There's also the possibility the random number generator is not sufficiently uniform.
um, they aren't missing anything (but see below). they are k8s, just as you rarely run the Linux kernel without userspace.

so if you want to get the genuine original mainline experience you go to the project's github repo, they have releases, and mention that the detailed changelog has links to the binaries. yeey. (https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/CHANGEL... .. the client is the kubectl binary, the server has the control plane components the node binaries have the worker node stuff), you then have the option to set those up according to the documentation (generate TLS certs, specify the IP address range for pods (containers), install dependencies like etcd, and a CNI compatible container network layer provider -- if you have setup overlay networking eg. VXLAN or geneve or something fancy with openvswitch's OVN -- then the reference CNI plugin is probably sufficient)

at the end of this process you'll have the REST API (kube-apiserver) up and running and you can start submitting jobs (that will be persisted into etcd, eventually picked up by the scheduler control loop that calculates what should run where and persists it back to etcd, then a control loop on a particular worker will notice that something new is assigned to it, and it'll do the thing, allocate a pod, call CNI to allocate IP, etc.)

of course if you don't want to do all this by hand you can use a distribution that helps you with setup.

microk8s is a low-memory low-IO k8s distro by Canonical (Ubuntu folks) and they run dqlite (distributed sqlite) instead of etcd (to lower I/O and memory requirements), many people don't like it because it uses snaps

k3s is started by Rancher folks (and mostly still developed by them?),

there's k0s (for bare metal ... I have no idea what that means though), kind (kubernetes in docker), there's also k3d (k3s in docker)

these distributions work by consuming/wrapping the k8s components as go libraries - https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/staging...

...

then there's the whole zoo of various k8s plugins/addons/tools for networking (CNI - https://github.com/containernetworking/cni#3rd-party-plugins), storage (CSI - https://kubernetes-csi.github.io/docs/drivers.html), helm for package management, a ton of security-related things that try to spot errors in all this circus ... and so on.

> spend their money more or less on the same things proportionally

I guess I must be misunderstanding you, because this seems obviously wrong. A very poor person spends ~100% of their income on nutrition and shelter, and their investment rate is 0%. A very rich person spends ~0% of their income on nutrition and shelter and their investment rate approaches 100%.
I was interested in it, but there's no full examples of what it actually produced on the site. No videos, no code. On the Product Hunt site, the video stops right as you're about to push the button. There's no way I'm going to connect this to my AWS account just to find out what it can do without knowing what it's going to do.
agreed, I’ve tried to pick up rust a few times and the syntax has always made me give up halfway through the point of writing a real project. It’s really a shame since they had every opportunity not to make the syntax horrible. CPP has horrendous syntax but a lot of that is because they needed to start representing features over time that didn’t exist from the ground up. Rust had pretty much all of its killer features form the start but for unknown reasons elected to use a tremendously noisy syntax that seems to be inspired by the monstrosity that is modern cpp syntax.

Ugh. This is bad news. I've used Brother B&W lasers at home for the past 20 years, and they've been great. (I'm 5 years into my second one, because when the rollers wore out on my first one, 15 years in, I decided I'd rather have the iOS printing features they offered on their newer models instead of sourcing new rollers and taking it apart to change them.)

Between their BrScript and their no-BS networking, they were the last I know of to work with no fuss with all the machines I own. On everything other than the iDevices, it's nothing more than a PPD install.

I hope this isn't accurate.
