You might as well be talking about the boogieman. Who are these whales who control the market? Why were so many mega-whales selling at $27K and lower this year, when they could have sold at the top? Michael Saylor is one of, if not the biggest crypto holder right now, and the dude is clueless and currently underwater in his position.

Talking about whales is just superstition for people who can't find any alpha in the markets. It's an excuse for why you didn't know the price was going to go in a certain direction. You see it a lot in amateur trading Discords and subreddits.
Mostly yes, my claim is that they don't want to do business in many cases, largely because of widespread taboo and because of worry it will make them look bad. Companies are made of people, and the latter does have financial consequences.

But my claim isn't that they want to avoid the entire industry. It's that they want to cut certain segments and use their control to make things as 'tame' as possible. So that actually doesn't cost them very much.

Even if we did somehow get the political will to fund a project of this magnitude, it could never work. The bubbles would get blamed for every single snowstorm, unseasonably cold day, and any other weather that happened after it was put in place.

I don't think it would last a year before it was taken down, regardless of whether or not it did what it was supposed to do or was responsible for any meteorological event.

Not at all! We should absolutely be researching and developing this type of solution. I fully believe that eventually every populated planet will have some form of solar mitigation strategy like this, but our political structures would have to evolve as well.

I sincerely hope we're able to politically and societally support such a project this century, but I'm not optimistic on that timescale.

To me the really fascinating magic tricks are the ones that use the basics like sleight of hands and misdirection to build a proper story and presentation, this is just blatant cheating, it's fascinating to know how it's done but it probably won't be part of your favorite magician's routine.

And about those tricks, I recently played the demo of a game called "Card Shark" and it does a really nice job of incorporating the more cheating-style tricks into a compelling narrative.

I agree with your analysis of how things rolled out! But I think it's pretty clear that the use of "resource extraction" in the case we're talking about is control by "Capital" of natural resources and the concomitant chokepoint/control over labor and the general public. Not the more general use of the term "resource" which you are pointing at.

I'm trying hard not to use the M word because it usually leads to flaming and not reasonable discussion.
> The Republic had a culture that very much treated war as a glorious thing, and mobilized the public for total war, over and over again.

I think there are two big differences.

Early on the legions were on “Team Rome”. Scipio Africanus and Asiaticus conquered large regions but never turned their armies against Rome. Sulla turned his armies against Rome. As did Julius. Legions were seen as more for the glory of a general than for the glory of Rome.

Second, conquering new territories was a way to increase a person’s prestige relative to their peers. So there was a kind of friendly competition with various consuls trying to outdo each other.

The Empire changed everything. The Emperor already had prestige relative to his peers. Trying to conquer new territories was a high risk activity for not that much upside (you were already emperor). For example, Augustus knew that Crassus (died at Carrhae) and Mark Antony(defeated in Parthia) had huge setbacks that undermined their position. Even Augustus suffered the disaster at the Tueteborg, but through a lot of PR effort was able to pawn it off on Varrus who conveniently was not a part of the immediate Imperial family.

The other danger was that if there was a victory, it might be enough to propel the commanding general to rivalry (see the later example of Vespasian and the Jewish rebellion). Augustus was an brilliant politician, but not that great of a commander, and had to rely on others (see Agrippa) for actual battlefield command.

Thus given these risks Augustus was not very aggressive about expansion (though he did conquer northwest Spain, and his armies made some expeditions in Germania).

Given that he was the first Emperor and ruled so long, he kind of set the precedent.

EDIT:

It is interesting that instead of launching a punitive expedition against Parthia to retrieve the captured Roman standards from Carrhae, he recovered them through diplomatic means.
What you can do instead, is slip under the car and splice into the wire harness that is running under the car to the transmission or differential.

I'm completely ok with giving a team of 19 developers the benefit of the doubt, but in this case it doesn't matter if they're good or bad developers. They're 19 people. There's gonna be lots more overhead if it's a project that one person was able to do themselves.

Bring in a junior developer in the middle and you're gonna have to train them, slowing down the process. Bring in a new senior and he might not slow you down, but won't be productive for a while. Bring a designer and that overhead becomes even higher. Bring a second designer and it's even worse. Another stakeholder? Same deal.

Dailies and Retros are too crowded? Divide the team in two and bring another manager? Same deal.

Software is hard. Head count doesn't mean speed. In fact it often means the opposite.

EDIT: About solo devs, it's funny that in HN there is a bit of a cult for good developers that manage to make things useable for others, and that includes everything from products to libraries and languages. But as soon as someone tells a story about someone or some team being unable to take over a solo-dev work, their work is immediately treated as if it were complete garbage. One thing that made me a better developer was stopping having this attitude. Maybe the reason I can't understand is that I am the one who's not good enough.

EDIT 2: Btw, sorry if my tone sounds as if I'm disagreeing with you. I’m not! I also don't think you were doubting the OP. It's just that I keep seeing this industry making the same bad assumptions about team-size, year in year out.

Interesting that these are all 'liberal' decisions. Do conservatives not desire privacy, or is it just that we haven't had a conservative right that needed a way to be defended. I guess a lot of things like freedom of religion and gun rights are enumerated in the constitution. In general not having a right to privacy doesn't seem reasonable in a free world. The recent scandal about California leaking gun owners seems like it could lead to a conversation about the right to privacy for gun owners. The constitution mentions a right to bear arms, it doesn't say we have to keep that gun ownership secret. Seems like this might be particularly true for the anti-government militia crowd.
I don't need my car to drive itself with technology that doesn't work and requires me, pedestrians, cyclists, and other drivers as test subjects.

This fetishization of shoving chips into every square centimeter is ridiculous. I want to use my computer and drive my car, not drive my computer with all of the attendant software issues that'll inevitably crop up.
> Be honest - did you write an overcomplicated piece of code that was super hard to understand?

Not the person you asked but I have definitely done that. Usually writing overcomplicated code means you don't understand that particular domain/tech well enough and there may be no one else around to ask.

Half way in you realize you took the wrong approach. Now you have the difficult decision of sunk cost a fallacy here or not.

The correct answer may not be obvious, sunk cost isn't always a fallacy. I have definitely made wrong decisions here in the past and wrote bad code.

But sometimes the decision is ship something or nothing?
If Microsoft wanted to really try an ARM push they could do worse than releasing a Surface laptop with amazing out-of-the-box Linux support; it might not sell a ton to Windows users, but they could get something moving.
Not to mention one of the risks that they mention seems pretty disastrous:

>One of the most serious potential risks of solar geoengineering is termination shock. If we were to use solar geoengineering to suppress global temperatures, but we didn't do anything about CO2 emissions, and if for some reason you were to stop suddenly, all of the solar geoengineering, then those temperatures would suddenly spike back up. And that would mean that human and natural systems had less time to adapt to the new conditions.

So if it works for awhile, and then for some reason stops working, we end up shocking every system on earth. I appreciate that the scientists are hammering "we need more research" but I don't think we are capable of identifying all of the catastrophic failure modes.
Maybe there could be something similar but for coding.
It depends on the organization. In my org, the people most often interrupting us either have

1. Power of the purse. They fund our teams and ultimately determine priorities

2. Organizational mandate. Blanket authority to dictate standards and penalties for non-compliance (which may include unilaterally shutting your service down).

The best you can hope for in these cases is to surface the costs to those people and hope they are making rational decisions.
If we had a right to privacy under the Constitution, did I imagine employers prying into a person's vaccination status, without repercussions?

I know, I know, "private company" and all that, but we already have a broad range of illegal questions for private & public employers--like age, genetic information, birthplace, country of origin, disability, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, pregnancy, race, color, ethnicity, religion. Seems like past medical procedures would also fit nicely in that list.

It may be worthwhile to amend the Constitution with an explicit right to privacy. In hindsight, conjuring one through judicial activism was not the way to go about it.

Cool article! The Golden Gate is so iconic that Portugal contracted American companies to build a similar one in Lisbon and painted it the same color: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/25_de_Abril_Bridge

Originally it had only 4 car lanes (2 in each direction), but was designed to be expanded and some 30 years later two new lanes were added and two sets of train tracks were built in the lower deck, which now carry both intercity and suburban trains that are much faster than driving during rush hour. An interesting unique feature is that 2 of the lanes are made of steel grating instead of asphalt in order to reduce aerodynamic forces in high winds.

The other bridge across the Tagus is also remarkable, given that it is the longest in the EU: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasco_da_Gama_Bridge
Yep. One of the most important books in our field, The Mythical Man Month, agrees with a lot of this. But we still choose to keep ignoring it at our own peril.

The part about having one dev doing most of the work is even suggested in the book. But of course it's something impossible when "everyone is replaceable" is a requirement for modern businesses.

Of course in order to reject that healthcare qualifies under interstate commerce, they would need to either reject Wickard v. Filburn and Gonzalez v. Raich, or jump through some crazy hoops to justify upholding those, while stricking this law down. (Although I'd not be shocked if this court tried).

Actions regulating healthcare within one state have at least as much impact on interstate commerce as growing pot or wheat for personal use. Healthcare is not strictly limited to state lines. My insurance does cover visiting doctors in a neighboring state for example.

Reopening Filburn would raise a crazy amount of questions. USDOT regulation of commercial trucking could falter if Filburn was struck down. Until some new clear line on what the limit was, there would be widespread uncertainly about the federal government's ability to regulate things like commercial trucking, flights, drugs, etc, at least for transactions that don't cross state lines.

I doubt they would actually go that far, as the republican party are not actually anti-federalists, despite often pretending to be that way.

I am not a vegan but I think it would be useful for every meat eater to humanely kill and prepare an animal to eat at least once in their life. Having done so, I think I learned a lot about death and whether or not I was willing to eat an animal after preparing a few myself. I also think it is important to be aware of our own mortality and to think about it a healthy amount. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memento_mori
I like this take. I think I agree with it, though I wonder if there is a limit. For example, if warming gets bad enough that there are obvious issues causing millions, would it be enough for folks to realize, "the negative consequences are worth it"?

I truly don't know.
Duplicate bridge cards are often printed with barcodes on the card faces, to facilitate automated dealing machines with computerised hand records. I've never seen a system which reads the barcodes for a blind player, but I'm sure it's possible. (The traditional approach is with a human 'card turner' assisting, which sucks for all kinds of reasons). Or even just reading the standard face images: it's a much easier problem than reading codes on the edges, and has the advantage of not making it easier to cheat!
Given that we've already crossed the point-of-no-return, I think some form of geo-engineering is the only way to prevent rising sea-levels, inhabitable conditions and human extinction. But I hope there's a way to do some sort of controlled experimentation first before committing to a "solution" and statements like this aren't very comforting: "Once those aerosols were released, though, we wouldn’t have a straightforward way to recapture them if the plan didn’t work or had unforeseen negative consequences."
> I think you are vastly over-estimating these "societal structures". You don't clearly define them but based on conservative ideology they represent a temporary family and economic structure that really only existed in some parts of the USA and only for the recent past. "Marriage" in the pre-1900s outside the educated rich class that got written about was more or less "start living together". No licenses or ceremonies. Family structures got strange. People left their spouse and children by moving west or across the pond.

Okay. I am fuzzy with pre-1900s families in North America.

> The supposed problems can be easily solved with money. Free childcare (including funding for better worker pay, better facilities, training more caregivers, etc). Universal healthcare. Universal after school care. 18 year tax credits for having kids. Free training on parenting techniques and discipline. Mail every new parent a "baby box" with useful things. Mandate lactation rooms. Mandate parental leave. Mandate emergency paid leave (eg kid got sick so stayed home).

This makes sense and would love to see it. I think it isn't going to come to the US any time soon... probably will come to other countries first and maybe it can be proved out and then come to the US after many decades.

> Conservative ideology as practiced in the USA is more about the super rich not wanting to pay taxes or be told what to do (eg environmental or safety regulations) so by definition it is not an ideology capable of solving many problems. Everything else is a smoke screen to corral the rabble ("liberal" ideology has shibboleths used for similar purposes). The best modern US conservatives can do is eventually ban all family planning to attempt to force as many kids to be born to unhappy poor people as possible because that's "free" (though look for anything early childhood or child education related to see severe funding cuts if they're successful).

Yup. I can not disagree with this, as it sort of seems to be the general direction.
Yes single axis tracking are common, but dual axis racking isn’t.

Horizontal Single-Axis Solar Tracker’s are normally aligned north south, but shifting slightly off axis from pure north vs south can increase output in the morning or evening.

Tilted Single-Axis Solar Tracker’s are closer to the performance of dual Axis trackers, but have a similar question do you pick a tilt angle to maximize annual, summer, or winter output.
Great question, and it's something we get asked a lot. We have an open PR on our main CLI repo to add Pulumi support (https://github.com/infracost/infracost/pull/1752). This still has some way to go and is currently just using a Pulumi preview file. To get to full editor support, we'd need to be able to read raw Pulumi configuration in all the different languages and flavours it comes in. It's definitely on our radar, but it's not "simple" addition. I'd recommend following our Pulumi issue (https://github.com/infracost/infracost/issues/187) for updates on feature support.
