People often budget the size of their loan based on the monthly payments. When interest rates go up, payments go up, size of loan goes down. Smaller size loan effectively lowers demand. Lower demand, home prices fall (or just rise slower).

I watched this happen in real-time, though not at a university. I graduated with a network admin degree (AAS) right around the time the market was collapsing in 2008/2009. I watched as all the in-house IT jobs vanished and were replaced with cloud offerings as I worked on my degree. They had to cut costs, I get it, but it meant I couldn't actually do anything with the degree. All that was left were outsourcing firms that wanted lots of experience if they were hiring at all.

Good thing a state scholarship paid for most of it. I did at least get a little better at math and a lot better at writing while getting an introduction to economics. Those non-tech prerequisites fixed a lot that K-12 broke. I lost all interest in a tech career as my confidence in other areas grew. Tech was just the obvious track after running the family's network at home.

Understaffed and underfunded? Just because they’re ineffective doesn’t mean they lack for resources.
I don't think podman is designed or supported as a CRI. It's for local development. You can create local "pods" without an API server, but not running containers on a real Kubernetes node. That would be containerd, crio, or cri-dockerd.

With that said I still prefer docker for local development by creating real ephemeral clusters with kind

Agreed. Solar PV module tariffs are suspended for 24 months FYI, so there is some near term policy clarity for utility scale developers. The ITC tax credit is also phasing down over the next 2 years, so the incentive is there to build build build.

I don’t know about every jurisdiction, but every place that I’ve ever been involved with payment terminals, the money clears to the merchant account in a couple of business days. So your weekend’s takings would usually be cleared by Tuesday. I can’t imagine any retail or hospitality business would be able to extend a 90 day line of credit to their payment processor on all payment card revenue.

I think the main reason this never happens is because there’s a lot of easier and more profitable scams you can operate as a fraud-oriented merchant.

I knew a CEO that claimed that Mythical Man Month was his favourite book.

As soon as it was decided the team was late (due to constantly changing scope) he put forth a plan to make the team 4x bigger in one year. Contrary to probably the most obvious lesson from the book.

People just don't read. Or admit THEY are at fault.
Companies have "legal documents" that employees sign that often are not legally binding. Say, for instance, if they openly contradict federal law.

How is that a counterargument? It seems to me that paying more for insurance is perfectly fine for anyone doing extreme activities. You pay more for travel insurance if you do something as simple as skiing (which is actually quite dangerous).
Ask HN: Legality of using previously open source data?
To protect the innocent/guilty, I won't name the company here.

1. Need a data source, which previously was open for commercial use, for one of my MVP features

2. After a merger, company now offers a "no-cost" license to use so long as proper attribution is given and brief approval process is completed. Have been talking with them off/on multiple times for 12 months to gain access. Seems I am too small a company for them to really pay attention to regardless of their public statements re: access. I have even asked them to come up with a "per api call" fee that was fair to both parties (until I can get bigger and pay their ~$5K average minimum fee) but no luck so far.

3. Came across an academic study on github which used this company's data from 1 year ago.

Am I allowed to use the old data set for my internal research and commercial purposes? I only want to do the right thing.

Thanks in advance!
Fun!

But presumably you'd be pumping out the heat somehow so the entirety of your power cabling and waste cart system doesn't need to be made of inconel or tungsten.

If half went into the ground somehow you'd need to boil about a tonne of water a second.

The entrance to the tunnel sounds like it'd be fun with high pressure steam coming out at 100s of km/h. At least until the tunnel got long enough to dissipate the heat and it becomes a river of boiling mud.

I wonder why they'd even need the carts.

Edit: Whoops, I accidentally some orders of magnitude. It's 'only' 50kg/s of steam.
Yes if anything the evidence suggests that the younger are smarter, more literate, etc. on aggregate than past generations, esp. when controlling for other factors like family income, etc. When you expand to a global view, this is undoubtedly true.
I've come to the conclusion that this is easily explained. Managers are extroverts or they wouldn't have become managers. Extroverts think that working with others is best and can't understand introverts who would rather work alone. To an extrovert that is anti-social and a sign of deeper issues.

On the other hand, a lot of great software I've run across has been written by introverts, but I can't think of any that has been written by extroverts. Where do they find the time to devote the focus required when they are busy socializing?

I'm confident about my first paragraph above, not as much about the second.

I made this point elsewhere, but there are dangerous sports that many people engage in. Skiing is the example that comes to mind. Personally the people I know who ski aren't even particularly serious with the sport, but I personally know of one broken back, multiple fractures, broken limbs (and countless near misses)...should we ban that too?
Except perhaps theoretical physics and maybe pure math. You have to pretty much know everything of equal depth to make progress in those domains. You cannot specialize, you have to know it all.
Disclaimer: I’m not a materials scientist researching this problem.

My understanding is that the production casing doesn’t last quite as long as you’d want it to for long term electricity or heat generation and is a bigger cost consideration than the drilling.

Yes, drilling is still ridiculously expensive. The drilling rigs and equipment for geothermal likely run $300,000 per day of drilling, with it taking months to get anything done.

> Microsoft and Apple have both always promoted this sort of learned helplessness with their users, treating the GUI like a tangible thing and not providing obvious tools that encourage programming

It's not exactly helplessness, since programming is no longer required to do the many things that you can do with the millions of apps and web sites that are at your fingertips, and you no longer need to type in (and probably debug) a long program just to play a game.

And Microsoft has actually provided BASIC for ~45 years (currently Visual Basic .NET and VBscript, as well as the Small Basic learning language), while Apple provides Swift Playgrounds (a nice onramp to Swift that can also create full apps.) And every web browser includes JavaScript.

But as you note the key part is obvious tools that encourage programming.

I too would like to see platform owners make programming onramps more obvious and easily accessible. A good start might be adding a CODE button to web browsers to bring up a user-friendly JavaScript programming environment. Another idea might be providing an installation option to include tutorial and professional programming environments. Another might be for the Xbox (and Game Pass) to include game creation tools (I also like Dreams for the PlayStation but it hasn't really caught on.)

At the end of the day though I wouldn't expect it things to change too much because programming requires a lot of effort for minimal reward compared to visiting a web site or downloading a new app or game, while commercial apps and games have largely moved beyond what a single person can create.
Musk completely denies it.

While it's absolutely true that mental illness is being destigmatized, it's also true that large parts of this community are indeed "faking it", see /r/fakedisordercringe or search "fake disorder cringe" on YouTube.

In totality this is probably just part of the pendulum swing, and as awareness of fake disorder cringe grows, and as mental illness actually becomes "just normal" we will also see this phenomenon slowly disappear.

I just hope that all this doesn't lead to over-diagnosis of various mental disorders, because that would be a horrible outcome. We already see this with ADHD and autism, since those diagnoses are so fluid, and the nature of the "spectrum" is inherently fluid.
Are you being deliberately obtuse? If not, in common parlance "renewable" implies Solar / Wind / Hydro / Nuclear (this one depending on who you ask), while non-renewable = fossil fuels.

If you have a drilling machine powered by diesel it is impossible for that machine to be "fully renewable" in terms of its power source. If you have a drilling machine that is powered entirely by electricity then it can be 100% powered by renewables, but yes as GP pointed out "can be" doesn't mean "is", but still if you care about such things you should obviously prefer the fully electric solution.
Every pro-league is going to end up doing this. Either through publicly visible time-delayed streams of the user's room, desk, front-of-user - or through a private entity dedicating a resource to manually review reports from proctored games who will only view suspicious or manually reported encounters/events.

Obviously this doesn't scale, so it'll be limited to paid leagues and tournaments.

I would argue that people who go deep are invisible for most of their early career to the general public, and only become famous (if ever) once they use this knowledge years later, at which point someone might ask about their past and they could explain how many thousands of hours they spent holed up learning.

Even within your extended local social graph this is likely to be the case, imagine if your e.g. neighbor's teen spends years learning about any topic, if you ask your neighbor then they're not likely to tell you (might not even know!) about this, instead would tell you the typical "oh you know he's a teenager and hangs out with his friends and is all day playing videogames" or might tell you on the surface "he's interested in science". You might only get a more accurate picture within a close social graph, but then it's statistically very unlikely that any of those are one of those dig-deep geniuses.

I've seen at least 3 examples in the Open Source/DIY communities of news about some popular-ish people who shocked everyone when they revealed their age and were teenagers. Some times they hid it intentionally to avoid being judged against, some times they just never mentioned.

BTW, the more generic "young people are lazy/don't want to put effort" is a meme that has been said for literally centuries by the respective older generations:

Considering there are other file formats that are used and occupy the same space as tar balls, the fact that tar balls are common for quite a bit of archiving should represent a win. Other formats (like zip, 7z, rar, etc) have come along and while they're in use and zips specifically are very common, tar balls are still used. Must speak something to them?

Well, the power requirements are just insane for one.

I don’t understand how you generate that kind of power without just straight up being more expensive than an HDD drilling rig, which is the type of rig that’s used to drill these sorts of notes today.

Drilling 1’ to 8’ “tunnels” underground is done every day for utilities. Check out the Horizontal Directional Drilling market. (We make tools for this industry as well)

Another thing that just sort of seems silly about their concept is the treads. You’d think it would look a lot more like other boring machines and have treads that contacted the cylindrical wall of the bore at 3 or 4 points to maximize traction.

Look, I'm sure whatever beef you have with IT staff and admin policy is completely well-founded. But comparing the children's railway to IT limitations preventing graduate students from running their own WiFi networks is absolutely ridiculous. University IT has lots of good reasons for centralizing the administration and allocation of WiFi networks that have nothing to do with "children" (30 year olds) not being "respected". The fact that you can't get an exemption for your practical lab assignment is ridiculous, sure, but it has nothing to do with "children not being shown respect" and everything to do with how large bureaucracies behave in general for any institution, not just universities.

>What about how human hardware works allows humans to be sentient? (Or are you arguing they are not?)

Nobody actually understands how "human hardware" works, so there's no valid argument that humans aren't sentient. Solipsism would argue that it's impossible to prove the sentience of any human other than yourself, but even then nobody's sentience has been disproven.

The sentience of a computer is easily disproven by its nature of being an extremely deep stack of abstractions. You can analyze it at every level and realize that ultimately it's just simple digital logic on a massive scale. There are no open questions on how the computer does the things it does. There are many open questions about how humans think.

Sentience is usually used as a means to explain humanity's position above other animals and especially as an excuse for why we treat them as resources and kill them by the billions, but it would be a lot easier to argue that animals (or even plants) have sentience than a computer program. I'm not sure why hackernews is so upset over the moral quandary of a sentient AI when probably 99% of them eat meat every day, and even the other 1% still kills bugs, lives in a house built on what used to be some sort of forest/swamp, drives a car with leather interior etc. I'm not trying to argue in favor of veganism here (and i'll even admit that this paragraph is irrelevant to the actualdebate), I'm just pointing out the absurdity of trying to ascribe sentience to a spambot but not an animal.

Saying the difference between 152 vs 169 is only 10% more is not the right way to think about it though.

Here is what I mean by that:

Let's say for the sake of example that the healthy target weight for that height is 135. So then 152 is 17 pounds overweight and 169 is 34 pounds overweight.

169 is twice as overweight as 152, which is a big deal: A 100% increase in how overweight people are.

It may technically be accurate to say there was only a 10% increase in weight, but we don't start measuring healthy weight at 0 pounds, so it's measuring from the wrong point.

I don't know about replacing Make with Docker, but I use the two together to good effect. One of my favorite hacks is adding a 'docker-%' rule in my Makefile to run make commands in a Docker image[1]. It's a bit mind-bending, and there's a few gotchas, but it works surprisingly well for simple rules.

I am definitely talking about defining a sandbox abstraction, not mass-producing a piece of hardware. I agree that defining a sandbox abstraction is the only way to achieve what I am proposing. (This has been key to software longevity since ALGOL-60 and the IBM 360's microcoded implementations, but I'm proposing to go a lot further than the IBM 360 did.) I also agree that we have to aim higher than mere commercial endeavors can in order to achieve the forever-platform.

Security vulnerabilities at that level are a non-problem. There are no security vulnerabilities in Wirth RISC, in Nock, in Chifir, in the UM, or in the λ-calculus, and there never will be. There probably aren't any security vulnerabilities in uxn/Varvara. None have ever been discovered in the 8086, which is orders of magnitude more complex than what I'm talking about. The 6502 did have some, but they were in the hardware implementation, not the architecture, and are not present in modern 6502 emulators.

Input and display lag can be a problem, it's true, but there are many applications that can tolerate a lot of lag. A guitar pedal cares a lot more about lag than a paint program, which cares more than a word processor, which cares more than a compiler.

Hardware manufacturing instructions are not needed as long as people have access to some kind of programmable computer on which to implement the forever-platform emulator.

If your plan is to dig tunnels for energy grids, then it's sensible because you're going to start at the energy producers. We build power plants in the gigawatt range [1] regularly - they're only suborning 12% of that output.

The biggest challenge is going to be extending cabling, though presumably the "tunneling cable" just becomes the transmission line.

My favorite Indian outsource story was when I was consulting for a local firm and they paid me to design and plan how to kick off a project. I recommended hiring 5 skilled US software engineers and it could be done within a year.

CEO wound up hiring 80 (yes 80!) full time Indian devs on the recommendation of his Indian CTO. They paid me to review the commits after a week and a quick scan showed it was totally plagiarized from a public repo and had zero value. The CTO responded by firing me.

6 months later the CEO asks me to get drinks. The CTO turned out to be a scam artist, all the devs were junk, wasted hundreds of thousands of dollars paying for an army or worthless devs, and the CTO sued the CEO for fraud (???) perhaps as a first strike in a potential lawsuit he knew would come.
I think the issue here is using science / evidence to push for policy changes when there isn't actually sound science or evidence. That can be done with sound policies that work just as well as it can be done with bad policies. But we should always be concerned when unsound science gets used. It can be used to shut down valid policy debates. And eventually, on a long enough time line, it will get abused by bad actors.
> there are absolutely people that fit so-called unrealistic body standards

This statement represents a common misunderstanding of what body standards are. Our culture is a toxic environment for women because they feel pressure to look and act in ways that are considered beautiful and feminine. I hope we can agree that women who don't happen to fit the beauty standards of the day (which is, from what I can tell, impossible anyways) should not be valued less in our society. Yet, they are: women who are traditionally beautiful are treated differently in our culture.

> it doesn't seem to matter

Oh but it does! Sexism is a serious issue. I'd be happy to point you to some references on the topic.

One representation of a woman in media really isn't a big deal, but when they are all white, extremely skinny, have large breasts, etc. it becomes pretty cringey.

Here is a summary I found that outlines some of the ways women are objectified in comic books. It talks about how they are overly-sexualized and drawn in impossible positions that female readers often find awkward and demeaning. [0]

Not sure i agree... I've been watching my kids find a subject on youtube and delve deeeep into it. My boy (14) has spend the last 2 years solid teaching himself to program almost exclusively through youtube videos to a point where he is way ahead of his schools ability to keep up with him.

He's not going to coder dojo and finding that he's so far ahead of those kids that the leaders are asking him to train some of the other kids.
