Synthetic hydrocarbons requires you either capture CO2 from the atmosphere, or capture, store, and reuse the CO2 of combustion from your turbines (so you're still storing compressed gases underground; you've also made the per-output-power part of your system more costly, which is very undesirable for rarely used backup storage). The round trip efficiency with hydrogen will also be higher, since you don't have to do either of those and the process that makes hydrocarbons starts with H2 and CO2 and is significantly below 100% efficient.

Flow batteries would be better than ordinary batteries, but would still be costly for seasonal storage or rare event backup compared to hydrogen (especially flow batteries using vanadium).

Killing Camels Could Cut Australia's Greenhouse Gases, Study Says (2011)
I recently learned more about Makefiles by creating one to help me distribute a recent hobby project, which uses Lua embedded in C. I wish I had seen this when I was working on it! I learned (stole) from the musl libc configure script and makefile instead.

Makefiles aren't as easy to work with as alternatives in other language ecosystems, but I found they let me do a lot without the need for extra dependencies. It's easy to shoot yourself in the foot with a configure script but the power is hard to beat.

Coincidentally the author of this blog post commented on one of my reddit posts and was kind enough to help me work out a number of kinks in the project.

I would say that if we feel some lack of passion in the regular job the it's already the time to start wondering: "is this really where I want to be?".

However, starting something of our own needs a very careful planning. It also debends on an individual's situation.

I wnt through that journey myself. I was loving my job, but then came a time when I felt that it reached that stage when many of two days were proving to be same. I was into IT, but had moved to the business side. Starting a tech venture just based on my skillsets was not possible. I decided to start something into IT recruitment. It was something completely new to me. A completely different path.

It was not really ethical to devote time in preparing myslelf for the new journey, when I was in aregular (and damn good) job. But then sometimes one needs to weigh - it's my tomorrow's survival and success or being a Godly monk - only 100% loyalty to the employers. Well, I decided that after close to a decade of giving my 120% or more to the company for 10 years, it would not be unethical if I give 75% for 6 months or so.

I am not ashamed to say that, that's what I did. 25% time for 6 months used in preparing and learning about my new hourney - and then I started my nown company 3 years back - and since then we only greww, with no looking back.

Yes, but the average US house is basically in the middle of the countryside by British standards, that's the difference. We could say Americans are very poor by British standards since they can't live near shops, work, etc.

If you want to live an hour outside the city and drive everywhere, you can rent a 3-bedroom detached house of a similar size as a US house reasonably easily, for about the same price. The difference is that when you give people a choice - which they don't have in much of the US - many apparently choose not to do that.
Please provide a link to a pumped storage that buy green wind power when the price is low and sell it when the price is high. I would be nice to have a working example of how much wind they buy and at what price point they sell, and how they managed to finance it (ie, how much subsidies was involved). The cost per kw/h is of particular interest.

Grid scale batteries work great when you got 365 charge cycles. Each day it charge, each night it sell and generate profits. Current economics makes it worth having a few hours of capacity, and after a few years of daily charge cycles you got profits. Wind doesn't have day and night cycles like that, but rather have periods lasting weeks or months of either good wind or poor wind. You need capacity to last the whole period, and you get maybe a 10 or so charge cycle each year.

> A lot of that storage in the alps has been used for excess nuclear power from France.

Since nuclear is presented as being the most expensive method to create energy, if you then store it in pumped hydro and add this additional storage cost, how in the world would that be economical viable?

Looking at the European report on energy storage, the answer is that it is not. Pumped storage is not used for that purpose in the alps. It is used to balance the grid when power plants ramp up or down, a role which gas and oil power plants usually do. For this, nuclear energy can be used since the profits are not from buying low and selling high, it is from the utilization of keeping the grid balanced when power plants are ramping up and down. They get paid for the service, which makes the economics of it very different from selling capacity to the market during periods of low wind.
When your argument depends on promoting falsehoods, one wonders why you bother.

Which means that these people are actually indirectly selected by voters, but are changed in a much slower way and will not be a series of populists who rewrite everything every time a political climate changes a bit.

This sounds like a very good thing.
> In a free market builders are disincentivised to make such issues public.

Just the opposite. I am much more likely to purchase from a builder that has a reputation for transparency and after-market support.

It's very similar to the 'market for lemons' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Market_for_Lemons

> The Market for Lemons: Quality Uncertainty and the Market Mechanism is a widely-cited[1] 1970 paper by economist George Akerlof which examines how the quality of goods traded in a market can degrade in the presence of information asymmetry between buyers and sellers, leaving only "lemons" behind. In American slang, a lemon is a car that is found to be defective after it has been bought.

The obvious-in-hindsight business solution to this problem didn't require legislation. It's just to build a used-car dealer that builds and safeguards a really solid reputation.
DW is not at all neutral on international news.
You use Texas (or whole of USA). Which is considerably more southern than most of Europe, and definitely more southern than Poland. IIRC Texas is also much more flat, which benefits availability of wind power.

The 15-25x numbers I get from model.energy, in fact - lowest I get is 15x assuming way too optimistic ideas about availability of salt caverns in Poland, 25x is with mainly battery power, the numbers for no storage are too hilarious too discuss.

Are there luckier locations that can get better numbers? Sure. I'm not against building renewables and storage, far from it. I am, however, against building new fossil fuel plants, including gas backup for renewables, and would rather we take the minimum average power use, fill it with nuclear, then get renewable/storage Virtual Power Plants to fill in the peaks (with some load following from reactors if necessary). If necessary, we can find new power sinks to make it more economical, in fact I'd love if we had large scale green hydrogen and synthetic fuel production backed by hydrogen electrolysers taking in overproduction.

The real problem isn't cost of nuclear, it's that we still leave profit as the main guiding principle (to the point that building new solar might crash in some states) and not optimizing for 0 emissions.
Ask HN: Best book acquire deeper electronic or golden tips to go on for mediocre
What'd be some of the best books or golden ways to go on acquire deeper understanding in electronic for mediocre

Honestly I'm distressed as I really need the knowledge but indeed need it very quick/fast (in terms of, relative to common normal person takes time)

Put it simply, I think of the knowledge gaining is: the electronic circuits entirely (by someone, somehow) have been classified and categorized, and mapped by the functions they're made use of and all that's so clearly mapped in such that one just like one lookup a people data table of its name address, or telephone for his purpose of creating a function/device or its opposite, reversing engineer the already existing function/device

Yes, you're missing the part where that instance has

1. Garbage internet speeds (~20Mbps symmetrical)

The next cheapest 3090 is about 25% more expensive, and the next after that another 25% - presumably rentaflop has more than 1 customer at a time. Within about 10-15 GPUs on vast.ai the price is literally double. And of course, you're paying for the convenience of them just doing the render for you, rather than having to deal with getting dropped in a docker container.

I’m not defending the specific claim in question. I’m questioning why these websites tend to focus on addressing the most easily debunkable, literal aspects (or versions) of an argument, usually in favor of a particular political option.

If there’s an article out there in which PolitiFact debunked (let alone flagged) claims of, say, “transitory inflation”, I’ll stand corrected.

Maybe this is the wrong forum for this, but the Talmud says that A Sanhedrin that executes someone more than once every 70 years is bloody. If you think about it then, you could simply limit the frequency of executions, and scale it up or down per capita (depending on the number of people the Sanhedrin had jurisdiction over when it existed).

They might be using SMR hydrogen to start with, for demonstration purposes, but doing it with SMR at scale would make absolutely no sense; it would be cheaper and more efficient to store and use the natural gas directly.

I think it's more interesting to understand why recession happen and why are we condemned to an eternal cycle of boom and bust and growing inequality between the top 0.1% and the rest.

I blame governments messing with currencies and with markets.

Not that I believe one party or another will fix things, the theft from the elite is bound to grow bigger and bigger (like our spending) until a soviet union style collapse and a return to poverty and free market capitalism.
> Tonnes of other soviet block countries joined NATO with no issues whatsoever

Because they had their own terms and circumstances. Ukrainian SSR had its own terms and circumstances too, they compiled and signed the declaration in 1991. If the leaders didn't want to stick to the internationally recognised founding documents they shouldn't have signed it. One either follows the legal procedures or not, and if procedures are not followed and if the new government feels like violating the previously signed documents, then it's a bit odd to expect that the country wouldn't have a separatist movement within its borders.

> Ukraine has made it obvious to all post soviet states that the only way to protect themselves from Russian wars of aggression(of which their are many) is by strong military alliances or perhaps nukes.

They definitely made a good point about dangers of armed coups against democratically elected presidents that didn't break laws and were supposed to represent half of the country until the upcoming elections. Kiyvites didn't care much about legitimacy of their actions from the perspective of Eastern Ukrainians in 2013-2014. No referendum felt necessary when the coup had been decided and executed.

> Ukraines founding predates Russia itself.

Even if that were true, if the intention was not to follow the founding documents they shouldn't have been signed in their current form. But it isn't true, sorry. Ukraine founding does not predate Russia, because no reputable historian is able to draw a clear line between historical periods of Kievan Rus' (not Ukraine) and Tsardom of Rus' (not Russia), as it was ruled and disintegrated by the members of the same dynasty of Ruriks over a long period of time).

> Ukraine is sovereign and no amount of feet stamping by the Russians will change this.

Surely it is sovereign. When you say that something is sovereign, you usually reference the corresponding legal founding documents. The corresponding legal founding documents in case of Ukraine start with the Declaration on State Sovereignty of Ukraine of 1991, which all subsequent delcarations and memorandums reference to. You can check it yourself, the current Constitution of Ukraine, including the amendments of 2004, reference the declaration on its Preamble section on the very first page [1]. The declaration states clearly that non-military bloc status and absence of nukes are the foundational principles of the sovereign state of Ukraine.

> But if you think Russia is justified in its war go ahead and believe that but know that the vast majority of non dictatorships disagree with you.

I only mention this to bring clarity on the respective roles of the current Ukrainian elites and the government (including the president) in this conflict. They did everything to intentionally reject diplomacy, and it's the opposite of what they were paid for by the citizens.

I agree with you, and it's not simply US vs non-US, but changing the definition just after 2 negative quarters in the US can be thought of a politically motivated change. Also only one of the two definitions is objective (the non-political one).
The way I remember it is that all three names are based on the image and codomain since the arguments/domain are total.

Sur- means 'upon' (sorta) as in sur-la-table, so we know the surjective is upon the entire codomain, hence surjective is the 'at least once' class, leaving injective as the 'at most once' class.

Bijective is the invertible one but I've never had problems remembering that and I note that you don't mention it either.
What? Where do you get this? The US DOE and EUV LLC a consortium of loads of companies like Intel and IBM spent well over a decade investing in EUV research including many methods like electron beams and using a synchotron. ASML was late to the party and joined EUV LLC after a lot of the research had been done.

And the laser needed to make EUV machines work is from Cyner, ASML bought this company.

Took all the risk? Geez.
It is the case in France. We have the Académie Française, an institution that edits an "official" dictionary. Unlike other dictionaries that describe the words that are in current usage, this one is supposed to act as a reference for "proper French".

The Académie Française is not a ruling body anymore, however, there is a committee that decides on which words to use, following a very bureaucratic process. French people are still free to use French as the way they want (thankfully!), but it is mandatory for official government communication.

And in case you are wondering, the ones who decide are usually famous French writers who got a honorific position for their past work. They tend to be completely out of touch with the modern world, and with a bureaucratic process that doesn't help the result is more silly than manipulative.

So, we will build grid-scale storage. It will be massively cheaper than nukes would have been. Masively cheaper even than keeping them operating, too. So they will be mothballed.

But we don't need 10x overbuild: the wind is always blowing somewhere. If not here, there. If not there, here or somewhere else.
Running untrusted JavaScript code in simple, fast (~20ms) & safe manner
We recently had to solve the challenge of executing untrusted code (from users and 3rd-party extension developers) and eventually ended up with this fast and completely stateless service at which we can throw any script and context with nothing more than a simple request.

Not only can get the result back (whatever the script returns), but also allow for outbound requests via a custom fetch implementation, which further allows scripts for making pre-authenticated requests to our own product API, but also to those of other products people have linked to their account. All without exposing the actual access tokens, or course.

Would anyone be interested in using such a service? And for those who already solved this themselves, what's your way of running untrusted code (from users or extension developers) in a fast & secure manner?
