User defined filters for the subscriptions are not supported, but it's a good idea and I may consider it in the future.

Currently the subscriptions are filtered through the collection's list and view rules - they also act as "admin level filters", aka. filters that are always applied and regular users cannot modify (getList user defined filters are only appended to the search query together with the admin defined filters).

Very few people are buying this exact monstrosity at $100K price point.

I am mostly trying to drive home a point I think a lot of perfectionists miss..

A lot of people drive gas vehicles.
A lot of people drive big trucks.
The more form factors that EVs come in, the more gas vehicle drivers can be converted to EVs, which is a net win.
I am not sure we are going to magically regulate and legislate away everything al at once in one Great Leap Forward of banning ICE, mandating smaller vehicles, changing land use and road design all in one go.

I am simply putting forward the opinion that every EV Hummer sold to a former gas Hummer buyer, is a net good. Every F150 Lightning/EV Silverado/Rivian sold to a former F150/Silverado V8 buyer is good. Every Tesla Model 3 sold to a former Camry/Accord buyer is good. Every VW ID4 sold to a former CRV/RAV4 buyer is good. Every Chevy Bolt sold to a former Honda Fit/Chevy Sonic buyer is good. Etc etc etc.

Look at the list of top vehicles sold in America. Most of them don't have EV versions available or affordable today. The more we can convert the merrier.

I don't think you are going to convert a lot of Chevy Suburban buyers into a Polestar 2, or BMW X5 buyer into a Tesla Model Y, or a Toyota Highlander into a Chevy Bolt. You could get some of them into a BMW iX or Mercedes EQS SUV or Rivian R1S, etc.

Some vehicle bloat is also crash safety regulatory driven as you see how much crumple zone growth cars have experienced if you compare say a BMW 3 series from 1990/2000/2010/2020.
Which isn't all that likely to show up on either a credit report or a background check.
I love the manually curated categories and how fast it is.

Some feedback:

1) It's hard to tell where the job postings are crawled from. Are they recent? Are they comprehensive? Are they fully remote? I can't tell if it's even real data or just some sample postings you put up to demo the UI. Some insight into your crawling methodology would help with trustworthiness.

2) There's no easy way to distinguish the companies from one another, either in terms of their industry, their scale, their rankings, etc.

3) Lack of sorting/filtering makes it hard to drill down beyond the basic category

It's a great start though, and thanks for putting this together!

What I was "up to" was trying to get past sweeping condemnation to understandable criticism.
Interesting! The study says that incidence of myocarditis did not increase post infection. I'd assumed that because with some vaccines we see a higher incidence of myocarditis, we'd see a similar effect for infections. Now that means my simplistic model of "everything the vaccine causes would be caused by the virus anyway" is less of a guide than I thought.
Succinct is probably the best word. You've essentially described the Non-Aggression Principle as it applies to government.
Literal titular HYSAs go for 1% right now, which is up quite a bit! Maybe T-bonds are better, but I'm clueless.

Nonetheless, the point is more that: you need risk-free cash to live sometimes, keeping 6 months of your current costs in a low-risk account is pretty base levels of financial literacy
So you exceeded the liability cap by a factor of 100, rather than 400... I'm sure there is a person for which a 99% vs a 99.75% payment by the state makes a difference. But ...
> A node can support, like, 3 concurrent users.

I wish you would joking. But it doesn't depend so much on the users but more on the size of the room / amount of events and the amount of other servers in the room.

However Matrix solves a different problem https://github.com/jryans/awesome-matrix#research so it's a bit unfair to compare both.

I hope someday someone pulls off an memory/cpu efficient matrix protocol implementation. https://conduit.rs/ looks good and there is still work on construct the c++ server: https://github.com/jevolk/charybdis - but both only implement a subset of the rather huge and complicated spec at the moment.
Just because something is technically possible doesn't make it legally possible, yet. They still need regulatory approvals where they operate because EM spectrum is a public resource.
In this case, they apparently said it in foresight -- probably more foresight than most of us would have, though.
We'll see if they their mesh fulfils its promises in the next couple of years. If it does and there's ocean coverage which is reasonably robust, I think we'll see prices rise accordingly though...
We similarly had good results with Vanta (and their recommendation of a Vanta-friendly firm).
I feel sympathetic but anyone that hasn't started prepping for layoffs is simply not reading the writing on the wall, _especially_ at Twitter. Elon Musk has basically said that he wants people working 40+ hours/week in the office or you can quit to Tesla and SpaceX. There have been stories for weeks about large startups having layoffs. Finally, most acquisitions tend to end in layoffs

Minimum, you should be updating your resume/LinkedIn, and you should also look at ways to cut back on costs where possible.

I'm sorry, Twitter assured the company that there would be no layoffs? Isn't that _exactly_ what Elon Musk has been telegraphing with what he's said to the press and at the town hall? Also at this point
I didn't get the sense that WJW is unfamiliar with the industry. I read their comment as suggesting that the administrators who designed the existing regulations did so at a time when the widely understood definition of "miner" was a proof-of-work miner. If the same regulations were drafted today, would PoS validator nodes be considered functionally equivalent to PoW miner nodes? I hope not, since they aren't.
It’s purely a regulatory issue.
Honestly if you’re paying a mortgage at current rates, 6 months income is an excessive amount to hold out. Assuming that’s $100k, you’re paying somewhere around $5600/year by not paying down your mortgage more aggressively.

I have a lot of sympathy for someone who’s plan for savings was “if I get fired I can”:
(1) use my severance money
(2) sell my stock
(3) get a loan against my home

Only blackout periods blocked (2) and falling home prices blocked (3).
The curiosity for the forbidden/unknown is a powerful motivator for children. Destroying that magic by personally becoming invested can be quite effective.

The same applies for things that are "cool" or whatever the current term is. Either you become part of the "in group" and earn some of your child's respect or whatever you touch no longer becomes corrupted by your "boomer energy". Both are a win and far more effective than the cat and mouse game of training them to be mini pen-testers.
SUVs should be banned, or taxed the point of economic non-viability. The fact that such a deadly category of vehicle, on top of being much less energy efficient, is being allowed to take over the market, is completely inane.
cant that be said about buying a home anywhere?
They would've put at least 150k down wouldn't they? This also assumes they just moved in. If you have a 1.5 million dollar home in SF today you likely bought it for less than that at some point in the past. These people have net worths that would allow them to buy a nice house, almost anywhere else on the planet for cash.
It's likely to be positive for all of those, even the employees. Who gains from the destruction of value?

> stakeholders

I hate this term. It's a deliberate attempt to blur the boundaries of who owns something and who does not. It's not shoplifting if I'm a stakeholder in this pack of cigarettes, right?
I think that depends on how long the validators were cut off from the majority of validators.

Ethereum's POS has a concept called finality which means that under certain conditions the blockchain gets checkpoints that can't ever be reverted. Somewhat simplified but the the blocks are finalized if 2/3rd of the validators validated the last 64 blocks. So, normally after about 13 minutes you can be sure if the transactions are set in stone or not.

If the cut off validators are reunited after not too long, they won't have been able to finalize any blocks and then they will just throw away the part of the chain they have been building since they were separated from the majority. As far as I understand it that's quite similar to a reorg on a POW blockchain.

The other case, if they've been separated for a very long time, the situation is a bit different. If you don't follow your duties as a validator, you get penalized. A little of your staked ETH is burned. Note, that's not the same as slashing (which is much harsher) and if your staked ETH balance falls below 16 ETH, you're kicked off the list of validators. This is so that active validators will be able to reach again a 2/3rd majority after a while and be able to finalize blocks. If this happens to our cut off validators, even if they get access to the other validators data again, they can't reorg the blockchain as their blocks have been finalized.

In this case, the admins need to manually reset the data so the validators can rejoin the correct chain. This is a known issue which POW networks don't have. There you can always rely on the chain that has the most work done. But the work is cheap and fast in POS networks so you sometimes need to get external info and verify it by hand.

Are we allowed to call these "coal vehicles" yet? They don't make nuclear power plants anymore - so not sure why everyone wants to run more coal plants.

Interesting comment that inspired me to look into the grams of carbon dioxide emitted when running biodiesel fuel:

This page [1] says biodiesel emits 2,661 grams of carbon dioxide per gallon. Let’s say a 1988 F250 gets 15 mpg => 2,661 g/gal * 1/15 gal/mile = 177.4 gram CO2/mile.

Pretty cool it’s less than both the Chevy Malibu and Hummer but wonder how it compares to other petrol cars - it is just proportional to fuel economy but im not gonna run the numbers. In my head a pure gasser car would need to get above about 40mpg of petroleum fuel to emit less grams of CO2 than a 15mpg vehicle running pure biodiesel.

TLDR biodiesel is what’s up if you can’t afford an ev (and still has its place if you can).
Pure petroleum diesel still barely emits more co2 than gasoline anyway [2]

Disclaimer: only comparing carbon dioxide and not other greenhouse gas emissions

Edit: i'm seeing some numbers around that the average human exhalation per day is emits 1 kg of CO2, for reference. [3]

Maybe the problem lies in too many dependencies in the first place? Nowadays JS development is super bloated.
> ToS/EULAs make a big difference. They're the reason Blizzard could shut down bnetd's StarCraft server. They're why no one can legally reverse engineer Oracle to create a drop-in replacement, despite interoperability provisions.

Strictly referencing EULAs for user-owned copies of software here, not ToS:

That is not true. The Blizzard court clearly erred in not considering unconscionability when analyzing the EULA. As for Oracle, the interoperability provisions are what overrides that part of the EULA.
I was just quoted a stat that said boomer retirees have sex way more frequently than any of their younger cohorts. So weird and depressing if true.
When an audit imposes a dumb requirement that nobody will benefit from, and it's easier to change jobs than to do the dumb thing, you have the theoretical option to be honest and do it.

But if it's easier to change jobs than to be honest - is the option to be honest one that will be taken by any rational person?
A little bit off-topic: Do people here satisfied with DuckDuckGo?
nah, Facebook is never going to literally go offline as it would be too disruptive, but it'll hopefully accelerate the push towards processing all European user data on the continent itself.

The lesson from this should be that regulation should be proactive. Privacy frameworks and safeguards to make sure EU citizens have EU protections ought to have been in place 10 years ago when these platforms were going global.
Holy shit, seems like bad personal finance. I never consider stock in my budget, how did this come to be?
> For example, if I destroy the trolley that is killing 5 people over 30 years with CO2, does another trolley get built to replace it?

Or do the passengers take their cars instead releasing far more CO2?
And hypothetically the Hummer EV could go down to 0 kg, if the grid was entirely renewable. Clearly this won't happen, but that should be the goal.

I know this may come as a shock, but people are attracted to industries with good pay and job availability. People leave industries that underpay, do not have availability and burn them out.

The whole STEM push of the last 20 years has been ridiculous. Expecting debt-amassing students to suddenly change the face of industry simply by increasing degrees is expecting the tail to wag the dog.
It’s very easy. Some people don’t know English so we’ll or internet slang to understand what homebrew pages are all about :) no offense to these ppl, just the site audience is perhaps really diverse.
Hoo boy, where to begin with this one. You do realize that there are people who broke into tech despite coming from extremely poor backgrounds, and use most of their take-home money to support their families, right? Or students with massive student loan debts that they are currently paying down? Or even just people from median financial backgrounds but have to support their families in a high CoL area?

Yeah while it is genuinely the substance of nightmares with Windows 10+ with its insistence upon using a remote account. But Mac OS will ask once and it's perfectly skippable.

Of course, if you wish to access iCloud or the App Store, it's required. But in fairness to Apple they don't push it in the same sneaky way as MS.
The framing comes from this reasoning: not enough resources yet to build 100% renewable generation + storage => still need nuclear or fossils for now

But many people think this way instead: we have the technology for all the parts => build all the good stuff right now

Ironically, nuclear is selectively framed as just one thing with every safety issue ever, while fossils are further sub-divided into different environmental impacts.
I don't know.

If this debacle turns into Putin being toppled and Russia as an empire collapsing, and increasing casualties and quality of life declining further for Russians, how is this going to help anybody's dream of imperial conquest?

Even if this alleged empire doesn't fall, if it gets isolated and dependent on, say, China (as some claim will happen), how is this going to help these dreams of imperial conquest? A subservient empire.

Privatization since the 60s is a reaction to equal rights and "welfare queens"
The counterparty risk from Facebook has almost nothing to do with trust of individual human beings. It has to do with the nature of systems, failure, vulnerabilities, attack surface area, etc. It's "privacy through obscurity" to act in a way that your data is not on the precipice of being leaked by a bad actor or a mistake.
Most of your pay isn’t taxed at 35%. General expenses sound way too high if you’re excluding shelter and have a full time at home parent. This hypothetical Twitter employee family is burning money on something instead of saving.
I don't understand the purpose of this article...it's making multiple comparisons but in a way that seems intentionally biased to incite discourse?

It's also hard to ignore that electric motors provide almost near instantaneous torque on demand...talk about a major wooooooo factor that's hard to say no to.
> Why isn't your Emacs session running dark-notify itself, reading its output, and switching accordingly?

Thanks for the hint. Maybe I would try that first, if it popped into my head when I was originally writing it; but at this point, it works, and I want less stuff in init.el.

Also I will likely reuse the dark-notify script to change the theme in Terminal.app as well, and Terminal.app doesn't have an ELisp runtime. (Also very weird that Apple's own software doesn't properly support this.)

> But also, I thought ns-do-applescript was stock Emacs?

I don't know. I've switched to macOS only a couple years ago, and the Emacs build I've initially used didn't have it.
I used to get paid in stock. I had a plan on file to auto-sell it every month, and then I reinvested the proceeds so I had less financial exposure to my employer. The exact scenario is if the company stops doing well, then your job is going to go away at the same time the stock becomes worth $0.

The other side of the coin is that you pay significantly less taxes if you hold on to the vested shares. They increase in value after vesting, and you structure your sales such that you take a long term capital gain. A lot of my coworkers did that, and have a lot more money than me. But it's a gamble, and you should always weigh your gambles by how badly you can afford to do.

(I hate getting paid in stock, but it's advantageous to the employer, so it will always be a thing. With auto-sale, it's a very similar risk to being paid in cash, except that you have a lot of annoying paperwork to do every year. But you just pay someone to do that.

Oh, and if you're a new FAANG hire, please just find a professional to do your taxes. I did it myself and fucked it up a number of times. The IRS does not like fuckups, and extremely competent professionals will do everything for you for a small amount of money.)

Yeah, that's how I remember it too. Back then I wondered why some people I knew bought SUVs even though they were only needing to commute to/from work.

In the early 2000's my own situation changed, I was needing to haul relatively heavy/bulky items. I acquired a Honda Pilot because of its rated 1300 lb payload, better than a small pickup. After a while that need ended, but I kept the Pilot and still drive it. However since then it's used <3000 mi/year, a good thing with price of fuel being what it is now.

The Pilot was/is built on the same platform as the Honda minivan, albeit with slightly modified drive train. Pilot and minivan have essentially identical mileage ratings. So with these models switching from minivan to "SUV" makes no difference in fuel usage.

Can't disagree that old-style "station wagons" were more fuel-efficient than minivans and similar size vehicles. However, station-wagons seem to have disappeared from the scene at least to my observation. Out of fashion I suppose. And from the fuel usage point of view that's unfortunate.

EVs are the future but expense factors will keep ICE in the picture for some years to come. Do you suppose the current increased fuel prices will inspire a resurgence of smaller vehicles for routine transportation? In the interim that would be a good thing.
> Putin required the direct vassalage and control of Ukraine, much like he does with Belarus.

While this would have obviously been Putin's strong preference, it's hard to say whether he would have accepted a compromise solution, with Ukraine being committed to neutrality.

As it is though, Ukraine got rid of Putin's puppet with significant US involvement (but also popular will), and then became committed to doing everything it could to join NATO - working very closely with them in the meantime.

> Ukraine obviously posed no material threat to Russia.

A neutral Ukraine would have not, but NATO bases in Ukraine would pose an extraordinary threat to Russia, given NATO's hostility, overwhelming military might, and Ukraine's geographical position, with a direct line of access to Moscow that has been exploited in all previous major western invasions of Russia (newly by Hitler and Napoleon).

Finland proved that a country at Russia's border can maintain decent relations with Russia without becoming a puppet state, as long as they don't join hostile military alliances. Mongolia and to a lesser extent Kazakhstan on the other side of the world are similar examples.

As someone with a bioinformatics degree and who worked in industry doing liquid biopsy for cancer diagnostics for half a decade, much of what they claimed they could do is possible- just, not with the technology of Theranos' day, and not with the volumes of blood they claimed to be able to use.

Example: for a decade now it's been possible to take a standard blood draw from a stage 4 cancer patient, sequence all DNA circulating in the plasma, distinguish the cancer DNA from non-cancer, and use the cancer sequences to inform treatment. In 2022, this is readily available to most stage 4 American cancer patients.

The obvious logical future extension of this, is draw blood from any person, and see if they have any stage of cancer. This is something that is being actively worked on, and is currently in the experimental/cutting edge state; expect to see it become somewhat common/affordable in perhaps another 4 years.

Theranos claimed to be able to do the above, a decade ago, and with an order of magnitude less biological input material than current technology requires. One reason they garnered so much attention, is that people generally familiar with the field knew that much of what they claimed, were things that were possible but were 15-30 years out based on the trajectory of technology at the time. So it was plausible that a genuine breakthrough had occurred that massively accelerated that timeline.

Sadly, as we all now know, that was not the case.
