There was an Oxygen and Nitrogen (I think) injection project here in BC which was attempting to burn out phosphorous from silt during seasonal turnover of the water columns. I recall that it never showed a positive effect on the body of water, though occasionally it was negative. Lots of fish died at one point. After several years the measurements of P in the silt were hardly any lower, but still too high.

I guess the trouble was only what to do with the algae. They expected it leave the lake, bringing the excess nutrients with it. How would you harvest it?
They just needed one farm kid who became an engineer.

They talked about taking seven weeks to figure out a conveyor, put me in the middle of Kansas and I could have told you how to solve that problem in seven minutes, give me a truck she a credit card and i can buy you the parts in an hour.

Bay Area engineering tends to be very sheltered, large groups of people with zero experience invading a domain. Sometimes it creates cool new solutions to old problems, other times it spends 100x the money on problems solved 100 years ago (And does a worse job at it too)

The real reason self driving cars will ultimately fail is they’re being designed and tested in places like Palo Alto where it doesn’t even rain half the year and a pothole is a thing of legend from lands far away.

It is hard to join when it feels like interrupting, and you might not want to do that due to differences in culture and/or personality. However, you have to consider joining in the conversation and sharing your thoughts. I noticed people can start making assumptions or making decisions for you, which is not fun.
We use WASM today and it's not for any performance reasons. Hopefully, like you say that will become an advantage too down the road as WASM matures. But, simply, there are parts of our application which we feel much more comfortable with and we find much more manageable being implemented in Rust and compiled to WASM. So for us WASM grants portability and language choice in a first class manner (as opposed to transpiling to and from JS and all the glue that entails). It's a real shot at dismantling the browser JS hegemony.
"while NY may have slightly more total dollars invested"

NYC is 50% higher in terms of total VC dollars.
I did not read "standard temperature" to mean "a thing that I manually adjust twice per day on a fixed schedule" but rather "I set it 2ºF colder in April and leave it that way until November".

If you are willing to make 60 thermostat adjustments per month at 42¢ each, you earned that $25 in my book.
From what I have seen these "startups" with tons of VC are full of useless and highly paid people that got hired rapidly. I bet they could fire 50% without even noticing. Or they would notice that things go better.

NYC has the second most number of people with software development jobs in the US outside of the bay area although the number is about the same as Seattle which is a much smaller region than NYC, and within NYC the majority of developers work at banks in back office roles.

Boston is definitely bigger for every other type of engineering though than NYC. Most non programming engineering jobs in NYC would either be for a niche startup or would have something to do with real estate.

I'm confused what the "problem" is, is it that things you really like are expensive? I really like driving a Porsche, but it would seem a bit odd to lament a wild increase in new Porsche prices or my salary not keeping up with owning one as a "problem". I also really like that in Paris you can affordably get a glass of real champagne with every meal, but I hardly consider it a "problem" that in the US this isn't really reasonable.

Things are getting more expensive, for some people that means they can't eat steak as much as they like, for others it means they need to move in with their parents, for you it means you might not live in the heart of one of the most expensive and desirable cities in the world.

I've always found it a bit odd that in the tech community there is this assumption that people have the right to live wherever they want, and that somehow living in NYC or SF during it's prime isn't its own variety of luxury good. I enjoy champaign when I'm in Paris, and am glad that at least for today I can drive a Porsche. I've spent plenty of years in a beat-up old Ford and drinking yuengling, won't be terribly surprised if I spent plenty more doing the same in the future.
Hey HN,

I recently learnt about Halo 2 and PLONK zero-knowledge circuit design and built a Wordle clone that creates ZK proofs of the grid you share afterwards. This was mostly a fun intro project for me and I wrote up my notes introducing Halo 2 and my circuit design in specific in the README that would be interesting to folks here!

He might not have sold many paintings, but after he died by suicide Monet saw Irises (I think) and remarked something like "How can someone who paints with such joy be so sad". Selling art requires the right contacts, even today, and Vincent was unable to attract the right connections. If he had not shot himself, I think within a few years he would have been as famous as Monet.

I was about to propose to my girlfriend and was setting up my DSLR on a tripod to take photos via IR remote (she thought we were just going to take photos of us at sunset).

Then a guy came walking by and offered to take the photos for us. I demurred, but he said he had the exact same camera and knew how to use it. So I quietly told him what was about to go down, and he took a bunch of great photos of our engagement.

For at least a year after, my wife didn't believe that he wasn't a plant!

My favorite Unicode glyph is Multiocular O (ꙮ). There is only one recorded usage, by a 15th century russian monk, who decided to use it in phrase “many-eyed seraphim” instead of two regular letters ‘o’. So of course it was added to Unicode.

I am not surprised. NYC gave up on violent crime. It's Democrat's policy. Same as in Chicago, SF, Los Angeles, and many other Democrat-run cities.

One of the reasons I left NYC. I'm now in one of the safest neighborhoods, we have virtually no violent crime, except from the occasional visiting criminals.
Other things monetized to great success:

- facebook (soooo much better with 80% ads)

- google search (soooo much better with an entire first page of ads)

- app stores (I love how they "curate" and "enforce standards")

- insulin (mmmm, monopolize a drug whose manufacture is open and charge 10x for that, that's the free market)

- college tuition and education (even nonprofits can be completely ruined by MBAs)

- military/defense

Well, the list goes on.

Gotta love those MBAs with their excel spreadsheets and strike price stock options.
Yeah but they're somewhat less convenient, you never know the quality of the bikes or whether there will be one available, and over time it's usually far more expensive (I literally just did this calculation for myself in DC, took about 6m of daily commuting to be even and then after that you're saving money). Luckily I work in a neighborhood crawling with cops so there is very little risk when I lock my scooter outside, but I definitely don't take it to other neighborhoods and leave it outside (I've had some funny conversations checking it with the coatcheck at events after work).
> how different is the user interface on a car from the 30s from a modern car

A lot I would say, even on a much smaller time scale.

The features are completely different besides the very basic odometers which anyway look very different and present much different information. A modern car not only has much more features, but even the way of consuming the old ones is radically different, and not just because of the switch from analog to digital, e.g. steering wheels have seen a massive amount of analog buttons and levers.

I remember trying to hire an iOS developer on Upwork, and got an American developer to bid on the project that seemed too good to be true. Turned out he was, and it was a fake profile. Figured it out only after agreeing on payment and about to start work, before realizing something was off. Contacted Upwork and they took profile down.

I visited Manhattan once, what I noticed was how run down metro (underground) was. I would compare it with Kiev metro around 2016, and that country was already at war. I have no idea how city hall can get away with doing so little!
Eh. I spent a summer there once. Admittedly in the 80s and admittedly as a relatively poor student intern. I like visiting NYC for a few days every now and then but I couldn't wait to get out at the time.
If you can feel that your walls are warm I don't think that's good enough insulation.

The whole house fan solution is great though.
Maybe I don't do it because I find it morally questionable, not because I don't think it's free and easy money. I'll absolutely turn down free and easy money for something I think is wrong.
I don't want to pay for them but I do wish I had automatic windows. It would be so nice if my windows automatically opened if the temperature outside was a few degree's cooler than my house and I was in "cool" mode. If it took the wind into consideration, even better. My house cools off so nicely when I open windows on opposite sides, but I have to remember to open and close them at the appropriate times and I have to be around to do it.
I definitely feel like I'm at a point of no return (to gas engines) after driving a Tesla for a couple of years. I drove a nice gas powered car the other week and the experience was akin to going back to my flip-phone after experiencing the iPhone. I do look forward to more, better electric cars on the market, but I've completely moved beyond the desire of owning a legacy gas powered vehicle.

> Do you think that "whiteness" is a bad thing? What is wrong with white people?

“Whiteness“ is not the same thing as “white people”. There's nothing wrong with white people qua white people. (There's lots of things wrong with people as individuals, some of which are significantly more common among White people than other groups—e.g., sealioning about racial issues on internet fora—but that is a different issue.)

There's something in particular wrong with whiteness, which is grounded in identifying with, valorizing, and perpetuating shared experience as the oppressing class under the system of White supremacy.
You're reading too much into the use of the royal "we" here.
Gas for heating (Fernwärme) could be replaced with nuclear plants that skip the process of using the superheated steam to produce electricity, and use the steam heat directly to supply heat to homes using the existing pipe network. The problem with this approach of course being that nuclear plants would have to be built far outside population centers, where the heat is required.

Another option is to use electricity for heating, either resistive heating or with heat pumps, which are already in use and have been subsidized until 2021.

Either way, it would not be the end of the world to move away from gas especially if you just can't get any.

Gas for chemical processes, I would have to defer to scientists for that.
The MOAD got a lot of things right.

There's only so much efficiency and clarity that can be squeezed out of a GUI.

Familiarity and consistency are themselves powerful elements of UI/UX.

Upshot: stop fucking with the interface.

Apple, renowned for design, has essentially only ever offered two GUIs, "Classic Mac" (1984--1999) and "Aqua" (1999--2022) Note that the second has been in use longer than Classic, by over 60% (23/16 ~= 1.64).

Good UIs don't change.

Apple have tweaked at the edges, changed some of the styling and colours, and added features (e.g., workspaces / virtual desktops). But a user of the Classic Mac could sit down at a modern OSX system and figure it put pretty quickly.

(I'm actually not a fan of the interface, though I generally use one based on a precursor / ancestor of it, WindowMaker, based on NeXTStep from the NeXT Machine.)
I thought the settlement delay was so that the banks can squeeze out 72 more hours of interest.
Those countries that ban it will miss out on the economic value. Just as those countries that banned or did not invest in early internet infrastructure (for similar reasons) are now significantly behind.
You are factually correct, but the intentions are a bit murkier. The explosion of video arcades in the 70s and 80s was due to how lucrative the machines were as an investment, not due to any passion on the part of the owners. The value proposition for arcades at the time was basically like gambling, but not illegal. While arcade games have always been skill-based, that's not the same as "fair," at least in the modern game design sense.

Yes, with repetition, you can eventually learn to beat Ghosts and Goblins on a single quarter, but the game is not going to just let you do that on the first try. Games of that era are designed to lure you in, then kill you with something completely out of nowhere after your 3 minutes are up and it's time for the next person in line to put in their money. This self-reinforced when you saw someone who had put in the reps getting really far on one credit, so you would think you can do that. But no, you can't. You die at the end of the first stage like everyone else.

It's not gambling, but it's still designed to extract money as efficiently as possible.

First of all, I’m on your side and my heart tells you that I would love the answer to be yes. But I would like you to consider it from another filter.

The way I look at it is: no. If you think about what you’re asking, what you seem to be looking for is a way to manipulate someone’s brain so it does something they don’t want to do. Literal mind control.

The only likely ways to get what you want are to sell a life outside at least partially outside of the computer so compelling is that someone with your genes could be properly persuaded, or to set an example for yourself so powerful that they would want to follow it voluntarily.
That or the complexity of our problems is at an all time high.

Sounds we should really build walkable city with convenient mass transit in the US and Europe. It's a shame that building anything infrastructure in the US is prohibitively expensive.

If all investment activity was passive investment, there would be no pricing mechanism left in the market. If everyone just equally invested in everything, there'd be no discrepancy between stocks. Complete scam businesses would given value equally to businesses which actually do create value.

So, yes, passive investing helps stabilize the entire market to trade in tandem, but too much is a danger to the health & stability of our market and economy as it enables misallocation of capital.

around there & upwards. You've listed one of the big problems with rabbit @ volume - inevitably/unavoidably you are going to have consumers go down or so slow. At a high enough volume you're heading for a crash/partition quickly if you cant respond fast enough (where "fast enough" is a time window inverse to how high volume the queue is). Its a crappy failure mode to have a sword hanging over you like that.

other log-based messaging technologies like kinesis, kafka, etc do not care if a consumer goes down & are thus much safer.

> The solution is to build more, and the success of Vienna does not come from public intervention but from the added supply. Tokyo is another city with famously cheap housing, and the secret is that they make it easy to build.

The other two secrets are tiny apartments (200-400 sqft), and an incredibly reliable public transportation system. Tokyo has a massive sprawl -- people can and do live far from their work. The average one-way commute time in the Tokyo metro area is almost an hour.
I grew up roundly rejecting religious teachings as a matter of course, mocking it on the grounds of fanciful belief in God/Hell/etc. As I've gotten older and started thinking more about how I want to live my life I've looked at the bible with new eyes, and no longer see any necessity to believe in god or the afterlife to realize the immense wisdom and beauty in Jesus's teachings.
What % of available living space is not lived in, and further what % is owned by foreign nationals.

I know that in MANY countries, one is precluded from owning any property if not a citizen. Obviously this leads to a bunch of corruption issues with bribing and marrying nationals for access to property, but the USA has literally zero control on property ownership.

You know how much foreign money laundering is done through US property ownership?

MOST of it.

A vertical zoning law might be an option:

There are places like Singapore where you cant build a high-rise unless the subterranian aspects of the project dont include a connection to other sub services, like the walkway malls and such.

I say do a % split on a vertical level which must include subterranian levels as a course:

The building MUST include underground parking, a commerical section and a range of income level sections.

You cant just build a high-rise of $millions apartments.

Look at Millennial Tower in SF. What a disaster. I HUGE legal BS and not a single person with a net worth of south of 10 million was accommodated in that disaster - but it still cost the city (i.e. tax payers who are NOT worth >10 million -- millions of dollars.
There are hundreds of new homes being planned for construction in my area, and I know this isn't the only area around the country that is the case - as I've shouted on here countless times, real estate and construction are local and trying to extrapolate them to the national picture is at best an echo of reality.

I'm already seeing new type of financing available for homebuyers in response to interest rates - think seller carry, Australian mortgages, and yes ARMs. Life finds a way and the market responds to keep deal flow going. The past few years were very special in history, and today's 5.5% 30-year fixed is still easy money by comparison.

re: That's cute but it's true - there's always someone looking to make a return. There's always someone who wants to start a business. You and me - we may not have money in our pocket, but there's a lot of money in the world and there's always someone who sees opportunity where others see danger and who will move money around to the corners that are generating a return.

I had no apnea, by the way. :P
Yes, filtering ocean water for material is a well known technique. You need a massive throughput of ocean water for a small output and you also filter salts, other metals, polymers, and sea life. You must further refine those materials to get the stuff you want. You also change the ph of the filtered water in a way that would be disastrous if reinjected, and you consume filter media quickly. That all adds up to a huge waste and massive ecological damage.its simply not practical at scale.
