It depends, if you are aiming for the consumer market or mass market. There is less than 5% of your potential user willing to pay for it.

Business on the other hand is different. It depends on value extracted. That is why SaaS models works on the internet. But these people then assume the same model would work for consumers.

Apps, on the other hand scores a lot higher than on the Web. So even if your App is a simple wrapper around your web content the conversion rate is still much better.
Who would have thought “solar is producing way too much power” would be a problem that power companies have the legal ability to complain about...

I’m shaking my head over here. 2 years.. They could have gotten together with the public to lobby for their ability to sell power to other places, or built some type of power-intensive value producer (desalination? hydrogen?).. They could be far richer than if they just sell power to residences.
Desktops still exist! In fact streamers and PC gamers use them! I don’t really play games on my phone I think the people that do are usually playing games because it’s convenient or prioritized in cost over desktops, since everyone believes they and there kids need phones.
It's hard to really see a significant value add here for work efficiency.

The screen(s) and mouse/kb aren't the current productivity bottleneck for people.
Is there a recommended sensor for particles in the range of 0.5 to 2.5 microns, like the Dylos DC1100 Pro?
This is interesting because (in CA at least) the benefit of residential solar is offsetting the electricity that you use. So use 1 kWh and generate 1 kWh, net cost is zero (Net Metering)

But overproduction is paid at NSCR (Net Surplus Compensation Rate) which is a couple of cents per kWh [1] - a small fraction of the cost you would pay (this detail is often masked by solar companies)

So presumably there is a different framework for non-residential solar farms like these where it is, perhaps, predominately generation?

The author misunderstands why Jira sucks. It’s not great at generating charts and graphs for upper management. It’s unopinionated, and attempts to be utterly customizable so that you can use it for anything you want to track.

Linear tells you right on their marketing site, the difference is Linear is opinionated. It’s better for software development because it’s designed for it, and worse at other things as a trade off.

Should've been re-derived from ‘fungor’ or whatever.
Honestly, it feels a bit overplayed.

Some great examples:

Steam. Epic's UI looks pretty, but Steam is more functional.

Amazon. A cluttered and messy UX (don't even peek at their APIs and backend). Yet a dominant e-commerce platform.

Workday. Yuck.

Toyota. Mazda builds prettier cars, but Toyota dominates Mazda.

eBay. Craigslist. HN. Reddit.

Design is important, but utility is where value is created.
Jill also had to spend a few years in prison, so it's not like she "got away with it" and scammed the taxpayer into improving her life.

The real issue is that currently both Jack and Jill are getting screwed over by society. We should fix both. It wouldn't even be that expensive and it would in fact probably lead to greater happiness and lower overall societal costs like healthcare (e.g. poor people kicking the can until they can't escape it any longer and now it's a very expensive stage 4 cancer) and justice (don't need to pay for as many expensive courts if there's less crime). And probably more tax take as everyone in the bottom 90% of society basically spends what they earn and doesn't hide it in the Caymans.

But greater and more equitable overall growth is still less short-term growth for the top, so we can't have it.
It's entirely reasonable to read through this article and come to the conclusion that you have a balanced approach to being online.

My hobbies involve a computer and the people I enjoy interacting with are online, not on a meetup site or at work.

The important thing is being able to self-reflect properly on it, and not delude oneself. I can still put my phone away to have dinner with family or some other outing easily, as a point of trying to be focused on whatever it is I'm doing.
> the company in charge of the grid refuse to give any compensations.

The grid is expensive to maintain and it isn't there to deliver solar power the other way, there is no reason why it would compensate you. Next when Solar is generating the wholesale price is usually low, so really you shouldn't get paid much anyway.

The final problem with Solar in Northern countries is that in cold Winter nights you want to get power from the grid and use the infrastructure which most of the year now doesn't make any money. So either you should pay very high electricity prices in those periods ie several Euro/kwH (which isn't politically acceptable) or realistically solar should be restricted in the first place.

Lol if you're going to downvote me, tell me why residential solar deserves to get paid as much as it is.
I'm struggling with it. I have a website blocker on my Mac, but then I just turn it off eventually and go back to old habits, if I block hacker news, reddit etc, then I end up just having random thoughts and googling those and finding other sites to read through and of course sometimes reddit can have the answer for the thing i needed to google, so that can be annoying.

I changed to a white list to try and solve this problem, but then I just keep finding little bits of websites i need access to, to do what I want, the minute I disable something or find a solution, I just get around it somehow or need to turn it off and end up at square one.

I feel I tap into the " what is your life philosophy? what do you believe in? do the communities you browse online reflect this in some way? did you learn about these from people online?" this quite a lot.

The internet for me, is not about watching cute cat videos, but trying to learn more about life, philosophy, how to be a better human, productivity porn etc, maybe it's a big insecurity of mine, but I think about this stuff all the time and the internet is a unending resource for all this stuff, I figure that a great resource in solving and thinking about all these things, must be other people and there own thoughts and experiences that I can learn from and then integrate with my own thinking and the internet gives me unending access to that, or at least in theory it does.

So i'm reading through Hacking News, Reddit, blogs, watching youtube videos, podcasts etc, hoping to find those things and then I end up with a bunch of notes and documents etc, but it all kinda becomes overwhelming anyway, either from the content I am currently consuming or even all the thoughts and ideas I wrote down previous because I thought they where somehow useful.

I honestly don't know what to do about this anymore. I'm trying to figure out a system for living more simply and internet consumption is part of it, but also there is the bigger issue that i mentioned which I think is the primary driver of that internet consumption.

Not sure if this applies to commercial buildings as well, but for homes, you get paid a pittance for feed-in tariffs. It used to be lucrative and early residential adopters got great rates locked in presumably for life but anyone since faces tariffs that get reduced and reduced.

One hassle for those with the early tariffs is that they can't scale up their systems without revising the contract and losing their rates. Many early adopters were putting on 1-3kW systems (probably because panels were more expensive or they were not completely confident about the technology) when you'd probably put on 5-10kW now.
Yeah, there's a legendary twitter thread that removed all doubt for me. Thousands of teachers, professors, and engineers all confidently asserting that their version of PEDMAS is the correct and unambiguous one.

Stuff like this is very difficult to change, because the conventions both global and fundamental... but we also shouldn't pretend like history happens to always chose the perfect convention. It's more a matter of we've just learned to live with the warts.

Here in the US you have lots of non-HOA options. Even in the areas with lots of HOA options you can read the rules beforehand and choose the HOA ruleset you prefer.

Myself I don't like any of the HOA rulesets so I avoid them It's never been a hindrance to me. It's largely not a fallacy of choice here.

The user experience of Nix is terrible. I’m not sure that it’s even fixable.

But Nix or something like it is going to take over the world.

Dynamic linking by default is absurdly stupid and mostly motivated by GNU politics. It’s a terrible problem. Many (most?) of the users of Docker don’t even realize that this is the problem Docker is solving for them. But they know they have a terrible problem and Docker helps a lot.

Nix is Docker on steroids. It’s Docker that got bitten by a radioactive spider.

Linux namespaces and cgroups and BSD jails have been around. Docker made it Just Work.

When someone does that for Nix, which is basically Docker done by computer scientists, it’s game over for anything else.
Nix has a debugger now. You can drop into the frames that are causing problems and inspect the state. Miles easier than looking at the trace manually.
I don’t pay for StackOverflow or Medium for largely the same reason: too much variability in quality to take on a recurring subscription.

I buy Udemy courses pretty liberally, even though they also vary in quality. If I get a dud, maybe there’s a refund process but, more importantly, there’s no continual leak in the bucket going to them.

I do pay for Netflix (though consider canceling somewhat regularly), Comcast Internet, Ting mobile, and Amazon Prime, but no other subscription services (that I can think of). I’m generally opposed to time-based subscriptions, especially where the value (or significant costs) are not time-based.
I don’t know if I’m right or wrong but I pay for services I really like. I would pay Stackoverflow in a heartbeat if they would just make their developer profile premium, and not entirely dissolve it. So many memories lost and I am still disappointed.

I pay for Reddit premium, since I am a mod of semi-large subreddit and giving out awards seems to be a game changer and kind of made the subreddit lively.

I also pay app subscriptions from indie devs and indie book authors. Hopefully it will inspire them to create more and make a living.
This is a silly cynical outlook.

The gov't is specifically paying for new fabs that are already being built.

The counterpoint to this is that you do not have to patronize businesses where you get bad service. You are free to patronize businesses that offer better service, or hire assistants to provide you the service. But just like you cannot afford better service, the employees you are dealing with cannot afford a better job. Maybe you and they deserve it, maybe you and they don’t.

For a long, long time, American voters have prioritized lower prices and lower taxes and an eat what you kill ethos above all else. It is no surprise that the country now reaps what it sows, and that is unless you are in the very wealthiest cohorts, you should expect decreasing quality of goods and services.
Each of these installations could be paired with charging infrastructure appropriate for the location. Around office buildings where the typical stay is several hours, charges could exist in many or most stalls to charge cars through the work day. Retail where the stay is typically shorter would focus on rapid chargers. Some would focus on those that are shopping, others would replace the gas station on the edge of the lot.

Every sufficiently large building has a loading dock. Those that get regular use with trucks that sit there for a while (trailers loaded and unloaded while the driver waits) could have rapid chargers for trucks.

Some battery capacity would be needed to account for grid limitations in some areas. This would be a great second life for degraded car batteries. If the batteries are near full while the short term expectation is for high generation, the price could drop.
Or with installing open source software on a Mac.
> usbc chargers are not supposed to even have 5V output until a device requests it.

I did not know that, thanks. I was expecting USB-C chargers to work in "dumb 5V mode" by default. I guess that could be to avoid problems if you connect two chargers together?
I’ve religiously updated a new-linux-install.sh. The majority of packages I build from source, and the remaining I use the distro’s package manager. I’m well aware that nix is a very different beast, but in practice this gives me basically the same outcome. Nix is incredibly interesting to me, but all the painful stories have kept me on my very simple and long bash script.

The book on Archive: https://archive.org/details/speakitalianfine0000muna/
LOCALE_ARCHIVE is required because you would want the locales to be looked up during runtime, not during package creation. So AFAICT removing it isn't an option. You can avoid problems by using the versioned variables though (e.g., LOCALE_ARCHIVE_2_27). If you use Home Manager, it would do the right thing for you.

Some low cost sensors are offering data channels down to 0.3 microns like the Sensirion SPS30 but in my opinion most of them are tuned towards delivering the highest accuray at around 2.5PM because many standards (e.g. WHO) are based on PM2.5.
I got an Oculus Rift CV1 In 2016 and started developing VR interactive sims using the Unity Engine and found the dev process tedious. There are many times you need to wear the HMD and take it off, look at code, then into unity UI and back to 3D modelling app etc. It's a slow repetitive pattern.

As others have mentioned, the eyes / camera motion sensors and telemetry tracking HMD felt like invasion of my privacy too.

Everytime i finished a session of dev for VR or playing some VR games I would use home made cardboard caps to cover the motion sensors and disconnect the HMD after use. It was a chore to do this every time though.

When facebook added their first firmware update to my Rift, It became sluggish to use. I returned it and was refunded. I then bought a 3D projector and use face tracking camera instead so i can look around still like you do in VR and have a higher fidelity experience playing racing sims etc. Also for space games, the big screen feels like I'm using a view screen on the starship enterprise.

Its convenient, It's more social too because others can share the experience. For now this suits my needs. Hopefully one day i will look forward to getting a true next gen VR HMD and hopefully one that competes with meta on pricing and without the privacy compromise.

All this will dealing with elitism and overall poor attitude from fellow editors. The bad atmosphere really took away from the pleasure of helping people solve technical problems for me. I don't even log in there any more. As a side note, a few of the other editors are over here at HN yet they are very friendly over here. I am not sure why the two sites evoke such different behavior.

They don’t even enforce their own bylaws in most cases

Ah, selective enforcement. We know why that's a bad idea when the cops do it, but when the HOA does it it's all good.

Not sure why people complain about HOAs when they bought the house knowing full well what they were in for.

HOA's are like Wikipedia admins, perhaps well-meaning, definitely with an agenda, and 100 % unaware of best practice. Back then, we had civil servants upholding city code. Nowadays we have HOA's where they won't hesitate to fine you for the wrong shade of paint and will do jack shit about the neighbour who breeds mosquitoes in his flowerpot dishes. (For those who don't know, standing water rich in organic materials is mosquito paradise.)
And yes, such communities must be semi-closed, mean, most important areas must be opened only for long-term neighbors or every stranger should accompanied with member of community, who will pay for all consequences of this visit (if any happen).

For me (also from the south), specifically, it was about identifying the sounds that I usually misspoke. Dragging vowels out was one obvious one, but one I literally couldn’t hear at first was e.g. the difference between “pen” and “pin”. That one took a lot of practice and I still have to think about it occasionally for multisyllabic words I’m not sure how to spell.

Don't want people like you you running the whole thing. I'd end up in a gas chamber quick, and I suspect most Christians would fail your test. I appreciate our tripartite system with all its goopy progress-slowing nonsense because while it slows down stuff I want, it gives people time to organize against stuff they don't. Like theocracy.

edit: since HN won't let me reply...

You misunderstand. It's about holding on to progress. It took decades for conservatives to dismantle the wins of the Civil Rights movement. Decades to start putting cracks in the progress for queer rights. And so on. Those wins were hard, and it took more work to undo them. And the undoing is so slow that there's still time to recover.

That's the system your "apostles" created.
