> People are accustomed to building up a list over the course of a week and going to the store to buy it on the weekend.

I go to the supermarket everyday and buy what I need for this specific day, going shopping once every weekend is kind of a boomer thing here

Lots of people use grocery delivery here too (Berlin), but I find that extremely weird given the abundance of supermarkets. It rubs me the wrong way to pay modern slaves to get toilet paper and veggies delivered to my door when I can walk down the street and get it for 20% less
Peat was used heavily, as well as animal dung and there was drift wood (not a stable source though, and mostly used for other endeavours). Also the fairly unique construction of the turf houses which had the animals living along side the humans, maximized the capture of body heat.

Then again, life in Iceland was cold, dark and miserable for centuries all the while nature kept trying to kill everyone.

The AES wrapping is exactly what prompted me to ask for an explanation :) That confused me too. I'm also wondering about using a vendored OpenPGP JS instead of WebCrypto, not sure if there's a reason but I'm wary since it increases the attack surface.

It's still early in the space, but there are real advantages to defining visualisations, metrics, and reports in a code-first way. Aside from being able to do more powerful things with something like pandas as opposed to Tableau, being able to check your dashboards into git, create reusable libraries internally, review changes in PR format etc., goes a long way to making things reproducible and less of a black hole. Also, creating reports and dashboards programmatically opens up some interesting use-cases where a drag and drop tool would break down.

We're building an open-source framework for creating reports and dashboards using Python, which you might find helpful: https://github.com/datapane/datapane. You can think of Datapane as the view layer / interface for any BI analysis you're doing using the open-source Python ecosystem. Any feedback would be much appreciated!

On top of that, reviewing is considered an important and valuable skill. You have to demonstrate a deep understanding of the language and go through a months-long meta-review process before you can even start doing (language, as opposed to business logic) reviews, and being an authorized reviewer is a legit achievement when you're going for promo.

Basically: reviews are actually treated as important.

Kind of like food delivery companies do/did. I know people who get pizza delivered from literally 50 meters from their front door. Or buy basic pasta with tomato sauce/cheese for 15 euros when you can do the same thing at home for 15% of the price and 15% of the time
I did read it but you are right my comment doesn't reflect it.

I always thought that this part of a smart contract is ridiculous as it binds the same amount of capital as the transaction is worth on both sides.

It also doesn't fix the issue if someone with much more money than you wants to f** you over.

It also does assume you would find a good solution together just because of the capital invested but you know there are plenty of people who are not able to negotiate proper.

It just doesn't solve the issue and it doesn't solve issues like if the shipment is lost on sea. Or it's getting stolen.

A independent 3th party actually helps solving those issues.
It doesn't. It is better to charge a fee per square meter of land and rebate the fee for owner occupied plots of land.
"more than it should" hints at that it was supposed to damping the sound, but ended up too much. The "more than it should" is the bug part, while the author also doesn't like the modification that the sound is supposed to be damped in the first place.

Depending on the point one wants to make. Only very few people will run maxed out Gentoo builds, but there is a huge number of people running debian and red hat derived distributions. Thus findings there represent what is in broad use.
I have never seen anyone (here in Italy) pre-heating the water, what may make a difference is that we normally use the lowest possible flame (on a gas burner), in Italy kitchen stoves have typically 4 burners, of which one is very small and in practice "dedicated" to the Moka or to heat very small quantities of liquids, and when making coffe it is usually set to the minimum (actually those caring about it start with a medium flame and then lower it to a minimum, and switch it off completely when about 1/3 to 1/2 of the coffe has come out).

On electric (resistive) stoves the behaviour may be different.
This sounds fun. I wish I had access to teachers/mentors like this in high school instead of teachers who simply wanted to maximize the average score on AP Calc exams; for those in Europe, it's quite easy to get maximum marks on AP Calc 1 and 2 if you are competent at math. You certainly don't need to be gifted.

I can understand why many teachers try to give disproportionate assistance to students who are disinterested in or untalented at math, but a lot of these kinds of students are just taking the harder math class to pad their university applications. If a student is on the border, a committed teacher can get them into maximum-mark territory. But the odds of such students building on these learnings throughout their lives is probably very low. In other words, it seems like a poor investment of time.

And university rankings are obnoxious enough, but my goodness - this article invokes high school ranking? We live in a world where people want to rank everything and live with the false certainty of a nonsensical hierarchy. Well, I suppose that describes humankind for at least the past few millennia, so never mind. Back to work I go...

A loudspeaker is a device that takes in an analog electric signal and turns it electromagnetically into sound waves, and if it includes its own amplifier that too is analog circuitry.

If it has firmware, then it's not just a speaker but a stereo system / radio / player of some sorts / ... that happens to have its own built in speakers. And a crappy one at that if it wants to waste your time with "updates" rather than just playing what you ask it to.
Typical developers, spending months to solve it technically when you could just go over to the person and ask them to lower the volume/turn off the music.
A couple of years ago at a very nice wine bar in Berlin I accidentally pulled a sliding door completely off its tracks due to it being impossible to work out how it was meant to open - it had a handle that I assumed you pulled on.

Luckily, I wasn't the first (or probably last) person to make that error.
An interesting tangential: outlawry in the Viking age was called "skóggangr", literally "going to the forest". (I read about this in https://norse-mythology.org/outlawry-viking-age/.)

But in the sagas all the Icelandic outlaws would instead travel overseas (quite literally, since Iceland is surrounded by sea) - which now makes a lot of sense to me knowing that Iceland was already deforested early on, so there wasn't really a lot of forest to go to.
Right ... I disagree with the author. I presume that's why I'm getting down voted here.

Proper long term planning EXPLICITLY includes:

Risk Planning for "1. Nothing will go wrong"

Provisions for Product marketing/Spikes/UX Design to address that fact that "2. Product developers [DON'T] know precisely what they must build"

Padding and provisions in estimation errors to address "3. Product developers know exactly how long each task is going to take"

It's like Long Term Planning 101 to address these things.
>That aside, a cap would help, though it's not clear to me that the power infrastructure has controls that are fine-grained enough to actually enforce it? Unless maybe you had your own ~smart-breaker?

Yeah I was thinking it'd be CPE, not on the provider-side since I have no idea what the Texas' grid capabilities are like but my default assumption for anything grid related based on experiences up north is that there is a lot of ancient stuff there that nobody is touching ever. But CPE should fine in this case (installation cost aside), the provider can offer pricing information in real time and each customer could then decide when to drop off the grid themselves. Which I think would also be politically helpful in terms of agency and thus avoiding that scapegoating situation. With customer set CPE nobody ever gets "cut off" they "decide the cost is no longer worth it until price goes back down" so it's still their choice, they get very cheap power much of the year. Could also offer opportunities for partnership with players like Tesla or other newer power storage providers, the Tesla PWs have some customization modes already (see Powerwall Modes [0]). Not hard to envision extending that interface to handle going off grid based on price supplied by the provider, which then has the added advantage of meaning the customer doesn't actually lose power immediately they have 13+ kWh of buffer first. That could further encourage users to drop sooner vs later.

Sort of a shame Griddy died, I don't think the idea of that kind of provider or rapid market response is necessarily a bad one long term. But they didn't flesh things out enough in terms of the customer experience and ability to react to negative price signals not use the upside of positive ones. Maybe it was just too early, and some sort of energy storage as a practical matter would be a requirement for a market-rate plan to work for the general public. I think in the next 10-20 years that might become sort of a gimme, if only because BEVs (and 2-way power work seems to be rapidly developing too) will become common enough that lots of people will have a big chunk of storage "by default" when they're home. Perhaps then a market-rate plan can see a revival all over.

Yes. It does :) But it also leaves you with a sense of why such things happen. Having such understanding helps to counter those "nefarious forces" when you're part of a product design effort.

This is partly due to a stupid law that forbids banks from letting the account holder know of anything if "financial crime" is suspected (of course, financial crime is totally fine when it's done by the ruling class).

I'm not sure if the law technically applies given that the account isn't even open but I would expect the same "financial crime" checks to be run upon initial account opening too.

The problem is that ultimately it's not just racism but a result of dumb legislation.

Ask HN: How do you localize your prices?
We recently released an online course. [1] It's $29, but we've had users saying, "I'm in ${country poorer than USA}, and I can't afford the $29. Do you offer regional pricing?"

I would like to support this. The dollar-value to a customer in India is probably lower than in the USA.

Most big platforms (Udemy, App Store, Play Store) seem to solve this with a price tier matrix. They maintain a big table of prices per (tier, currency). The tier comes from the product, and the currency comes from ... the user's IP address? (See example matrix [2])

To build this from scratch, I would have to:

* Define a list of tiers, each with a hard-coded USD price.

* Maintain a list of Purchasing Power Parity multipliers for each currency. For example, regularly scrape OECD data.

* To get a tier's price in currency X, multiply by the current PPP.

* Somehow clamp the prices to "appealing" values, so we get e.g. £25 instead of £24.19.

* Ensure we never make a loss after subtracting Stripe fees!

* Detect a user's location. Presumably using IP. Map location to a country, and country to a currency.

* Probably many more things I haven't thought of.

This feels like a generic problem that I shouldn't be re-solving myself. So, questions:

* What libraries/services can I use instead?

* How do you do implement localized pricing?

* Are there complexities that explain why there's not an out-of-the-box solution?

Surely the whole point of these delivery unicorns with insanely non-functional economics was always to appear to demonstrate rapid growth in order to bilk the greater fools in the investment market, never to realistically make it in the real world. I confidently predict that when this market squeezes out the greater fools (leaving fewer and more conservative investors), any delivery companies that haven't heavily adjusted their logistics and economics to reality (and still kept enough paying customers to validly continue to exist), will be defunct. Which will be most all of them.
I just spent half an hour in an airport reading the first chapter. With only a bit of knowledge of Bernoulli distributions, I found it very informative and well written, moving forward at a nice pace. The tiny tests made me reread a few things I had glossed over initially, forcing me to understand it a little better. Good job.

It would be cool if you provided links to further reading on the various concepts, for extracurricular studies.

It helps. No credit history in the UK means you may fail credit checks depending on their criteria.

I can completely see that the AC adapter is probably underpowered. Very few songs are 30 Hz bass continuously, so it seems a reasonable design decision to deliberately have the AC adapter provide power of an average song, and use the battery to supply peak power during brief peaks.

If they did that however, they needed software to keep track of the battery voltages and have a failsafe mode which reduces volume only if you've been playing 30Hz bass for 8 hours continuously and the battery has been discharging despite being on AC power.

Ask HN: I love programming but hate the industry. Can anyone relate?
I love building and working - always have, always will. I've been programming for nearly 10 years, 5 of those professionally but the industry is literally destroying my soul and it has recently become crippling.

I've been in all kinds of jobs, from start-ups to massive corporate companies. I'm forever building my own side projects as I love it, as well as love the idea of making my own living but as you all know, side hustles don't make money over night.

I'm currently in a great job. By great job I mean, the money is really good, there's room to grow and the opportunities are endless... Yet I can't bare it. I can't bare the devs that go out of their way to work weekends without being asked, I can't bare the endless meetings, constant micromanagement, bringing the stress home to my family.

I wonder if there is a popular way for the user to pin a hash of a webpage (to be warned if it changes)?
IPFS probably has a way to do hashes of pages, but for other hosting methods, maybe a popular extension to verify contents of the site would be good. Like a hash for the whole page that can be verified. I think I saw a site specific thing for doing that but popularity across multiple sites would help adoption.

The issue for commercial cinemas is not necessarily handling storage and playback of DCinema packages - it’s the DRM that the studios insist upon playing nice with the projectors.

How many lives have been lost because someone with the capacity to be a great doctor or civil engineer but instead became a mediocre artist? I've seen some very intelligent people waste their lives on mediocre arts careers when they could have made a more solid technical contribution.

There is a reason that the economy treats art like a luxury to be reserved for the wealthy - for most of those artists, it is a luxury and we only put up with it because they are wealthy.

Just FYI GTO sats' launch costs on the higher end of that range when buying from SpaceX (if not higher), while Starlink launches had internal cost 30M BEFORE current very high launch rate, which will bring costs down more.

So not quite an order of magnitude, but 5 times difference in launch costs should already be achievable.

And Starship will bring another 5-10 times cost reduction when measured per kg, even when you assume pessimistic mass margins and costs / launch rates.
