So what about people who overeat just to work off the calories later? Is that food waste too?

In other words is leisure exercise above that which helps keep the body fit, exercise that leads to food waste?
GitOps: A Simple Approach to Using AWS Secrets Manager with Kubernetes
I agree with your breakdown of which model dominates which segments, though I expect that in-city drone never takes off except for extremely time sensitive/high value missions (organ delivery or something similarly extreme) because figuring out things like where to land tons of drones in downtown Manhattan just so I can get shake shack slightly faster without leaving my apt. My bet is that drone delivery will really shine when it provides next day for areas that have week-long lead times which is going to have to be fixed wing (or a really good hybrid) because of the ranges inherently involved.

I'm a huge fan of Zipline, I imagine they'll refine the parachute element of the operation.
I agree with every word, well stated.
Even as of 2022 EVs are probably less than 1% of cars on the road in the US. If we use Tesla as a proxy that number would probably be less than 0.5% back in 2020 when this EPA analysis is from.
It depends on what other market forces there are. If the utility has a government mandate to install more renewable energy than there are renewable energy customers, then it is like you say - just a book-keeping exercise.

On the other hand, if there is no government mandate, or if customer demand for renewable energy exceeds that mandate, then it provides a profit incentive for the utility to install/purchase more renewable energy.
I forgot the example. The one I remember best is this 6FFA where all but me and another much more experienced player(who introduced me to civ in the first place) were irrelevant by the endgame. I was slightly ahead in science and snowballing, and he was playing for culture victory, and succeeding. I could tell that my only option was war. But he has more production. So it had to be nukes, and he had to not know about it, otherwise he could declare war and stop me in time. So I had to make him believe this was not a threat. I did several things like feigning playing for diplo victory(actually to avoid him banning nukes) I got him distracted right there trying to keep me from taking all the cs. By the time I completed the Manhattan Project, his invasion was too late and I was able to nuke his cap and his nr. 2 city. I laid this plan a lot of turns in advance. Afterwards he said he thought the culture win was a sure thing.

Exactly, and it is even worse than git.

Git the Merkel root is a list of directories and hashs of whole files.

Ipfs, an individual file can be made up of many trees and those trees can have trees.

Example: https://explore.ipld.io/#/explore/QmbGtJg23skhvFmu9mJiePVByh...

That is a single file, but good luck verify that file without actually downloading the entire dag tree which includes the file.

Worse, that same file can be chucked and bucketed infinitely number of ways. So if I download that file and the re-add it to IPFS, I will very likely get a _different_ address. And that address will likely share _none_ of the of the nodes from the previous address. Meaning even though the same file is in IPFS, they are completely distinct and don't actually help seed each other.

Driving a truck like the F-150 would severely limit your mobility in most of Europe, even in rural areas. You would be unable to drive or park in most of the city centers, and rural roads are often fairly narrow as well. So you would generally be restricted to driving on major roads.

Further, American-style trucks are not considered "classy", those with $50-60K to spend on a vehicle would likely prefer something like a Mercedes.
For a while Kobos had warm backlights, while Kindle still only had their harsh cold light. But I think Kindle has caught up with that feature.

That’s what lead me to switch to Kobo a few years ago, and it’s been great. Though some small press releases sometimes skip the kobo store still.
Will you acknowledge your error?

I'll point it out again. This:

> It's pretty strange how all of those metrics start at 1960, no?

Is quite different from this:

> A bunch of them do. Heat waves, river floods, etc...

You can't have it both ways.

> Making false statements?

Yes. I've demonstrated clearly that you wrote a false statement by saying "all". Then you shifted your position to say "a bunch of them".

Why not acknowledge your mistake?

> Slowing down and reminding myself?

Yes. When was the last time you actually said to yourself, e.g. "I have a tendency to get annoyed by how reporters cover climate change. I should not let my annoyance spill over into other trains of thought, such as the claim 'climate change models are alarmist'".

Adjust as needed to suit your situation and thought patterns. If you try it, I think you'll find benefit.
I don't really see the problem. A company's allowed to charge whatever they want for access and prices will always go up. I think it's good the companies are even giving us a choice about ads.

nope, they're just people with a larger carbon footprint; to put in some way, point being they're using more energy. keeping in mind that these people are usually healthier thus look good.

I think of this a bit like tiying your shoes and untying them over and over, or maybe it's like putting a lego set together, taking it appart, then back together...
There's a massive business opportunity for someone willing to produce low density batteries for home use.

In a lot of countries customers are billed significantly less during the night than during the day for electricity, so the incentives already exist to make it financially worthwhile if a home battery pack that can provide a days typical use can be installed at a reasonable cost.

This would substantially smooth out base load requirements and mean that renewables could make up substantially more of the energy mix.
You've taken that right out of context. It's not a dismissal but an expression of amazement. As in: "I can't believe that happened!". The article clearly states the result was accepted immediately:

I've read the details of the original california lawsuit against cisco, and it seemed to be a blatant attempt by the accuser to get back at his colleague and manager, in the guise of caste discrimination. It was subsequently sensationalized by the media.

- The accuser was hired to a coveted project by the manager, where every member was among the highest paid employees in Cisco (millions in total take home). Even among those people, the accuser was among the highest paid.

- The accuser was supposedly discriminated by not getting a $5,000 raise after the annual performance appraisals.

- The accuser was passed over for promotion, but the person appointed as the leader / successor by the manager was also of the same, supposedly discriminated caste.

- The accuser and the manager went to school together, studied every class for 4 years together, and the accuser was hired to this coveted position by this supposedly discriminatory manager.
Bigger screens are essential for scientific papers that have lots of charts and other figures. For eink-type screens there's not a lot type choose from. Fujitsu has a couple of A4 size models that look pretty good. If you can deal with traditional screens, the biggest iPad Pro is great.

Remarkable and some other companies have A5 or 10.3" screens but these are too small IMHO. You will still end up zooming and panning.
It does, but diesel is more expensive in most places (even accounting for better energy density), due to the structure of US refining industry. This sets the stage, and familiarity continues the trend.

More people drive gas, so more gas vehicles continue to be available.

Biodiesel along with moving more of these passenger trucks to diesel would go a long way toward reducing overall carbon, but cost is the main issue there.
It's not socialism if it's not state-owned! We're just bailing them out because, uh, Jobs! Economy! Profit! Freedom!
Yeah! And the whole thing about fourth generation languages fits in there too:

Using a modern high productivity like Python, Ruby, or Javascript will enable faster iteration and software growth.

Note: sometimes Rust or another lower level language will be more productive. Tool choice is hard and contextual.
> Your partner would prefer to save $100

I fully agree that in a romantic relationship there is far more at stake than any single choice.

But I've found the professional world to work far differently. For starters people only stick around jobs an average of 18 months (whereas marriages get about 7 yrs). And there is far more at stake to having your choice selected in an argument at work -- promotions and subsequent pay increases are worth 10s-100s of thousand. Submissive people are frequently looked over for promotion and may miss >5 years of promoted working years.

perfection was never in the discussion, but good (ie high quality) is. When I see someone arguing for a bad solution (ie both high risk & total cost of ownership expensive) it's there's actually a lot on the line. This risk factor scales with the size/brand of the business. Look at the pie in the face one company wears[1] for a security breach, whereas another gets to demonstrate their security forward posture[2]. The former likely has lost millions to a ~million dollar choice[3]. Whereas the latter has increased their brand value to the same choice.

But the person who argues without end for what they think is right is often ostracized and disparaged. This is something very broken in American culture.

No price yet. I hope that Intel for once gives it a good run (like 6-8 years); they seem to always launch new product lines that go nowhere and are cancelled a few years later.

By offloading the service to AWS, they have the responsibility and liability of taking that on. That doesn't get you completely off the hook however - you still have a brand to protect. It would be worth your time to reach out to your AWS TAM to find out the justifications about this. They are pleasantly forward with a lot of their decisions in my experience.

> I don't even see what the Kobo value prop is

Not having to hack the device you supposedly own to avoid having ads as your screensaver? My Kindle is at the bottom of my closet for that reason. I haven't bought another physical e-reader, but if I do, it won't be a Kindle. I didn't want to go through the process of finding up-to-date instructions, waiting for a hack that would install on my hardware and software version, crossing my fingers to do the install, at the end of which I wouldn't even know if it was a victory for me or a victory for them that I was still using their product. So I stopped using it and won't buy another one.
I think it's absolutely nuts Russia isn't just walking away from this fight. They're fighting a war of choice. Their military is very slowly getting ground down to capture territory they are unable to comprehensively defend.
My minivan is the best road tripping vehicle I've ever owned hands down. Better visibility than an SUV thanks to the column design and a nice soft ride. Gas mileage could be better, but it's still better than the SUV. It's also been quite effective at hauling things around. The second and third row of seats get out of the way giving you a very large storage area and the ability to haul things like plywood sheets easily and out of the weather.
This outlook of apathy is why we are screwed. Let's focus on inflation because the world falling apart is inevitable? Inflation is going to be the least of your worries when you are too hot, too cold, hungry, etc. The impact of climate change is waaay bigger than inflation.

> Or, instead of the "fuck you get mine" mentality that I hate about living in the USA

This is one of the weird things which makes the US an outlier among other highly industrialized nations.
In the US you can do that already, but I wonder if it will be cheaper for decades to come to purchase a used commercial vehicle (typically a pickup truck or van) and overhaul it as long as the frame is good. The amount of information mechanics can find online these days about some pretty esoteric rebuilding procedures boggles my mind. What I see folks refurbishing in Eastern Europe, Africa, South America, Pakistan and elsewhere to keep on the roads is astonishing (albeit only possible in current markets as we implement them with high-skill, low-cost labor).

There are a hell of a lot of light-to-heavy duty diesel pickups in the US and the aftermarket offerings are enormously deep and broad, for example. I imagine that will take awhile to fade away, and if metrology gets advanced and cheap enough, and integrates well enough with machinists on the floor, I can see a possible future where these parts live on in electronic form to the point where reproducing them from scratch gets into the realm of economically feasible.

Everyone knows that's not happening anytime soon.
control structures and error handling sound like essential complexity to me, as that's effectively business logic / system requirements.
A fan replacement and activating quiet mode on the server (usually a bios option or sometimes a hardware tweak) helps with the noise a ton at the cost of slightly less thermal ceiling.
> The Russians, which we believed to be inferior, actually adapted to the task and without mobilization are winning.

The Russians are mobilizing. If you read the Institute for the Study of War's daily briefings on Ukraine (which is based entirely on open-source intelligence), it's clear that Russians are trying everything short of a draft to patch up their manpower numbers.

And Russia is most definitely not winning. Five months into the war, their original intentions of a lightning-quick decapitation of Kyiv failed, followed by the failure of their attempt to press it by force. Similarly, Kharkiv--a day's march from the Russian border--remains unbesieged. Zaporizhzhia and the Dnieper River remain largely in Ukrainian hands. Advances to Odessa have been repeatedly checked, and Russia not long ago retreated from Snake Island. Russians have successfully advanced in the Izyum region, not to mention Marioupol, but they are losing ground in the Kherson region, and the latest attacks show that even Crimea is within attack range of Ukraine. I'd hardly say that Ukraine is winning either, but Russia is most certainly not in a position of strength here.
Energy growth on earth must end this century.

This entails growth in most primary industries also ending, as well as a large reduction in many.

This is incompatible with a system where people starve and everything breaks whenever growth goes below 2%.

"Stop giving everything to the people who already have stuff so we need the pie to grow at an exponential rate just to keep the share that goes to 99.99% of the world constant" isn't a hard concept.

I thought Netflix sends you an email if a new season of a show you enjoy comes out.
I say it like I'm sure, but honestly I worry about this. It's possible we achieved such a technological peak that future generations won't be able to understand the basics; only the simplifications, leading to the premise of Idiocracy.

That being said, we've always built knowledge on top of the backs of others and never really had to deal with supporting its weight without necessarily knowing the basics. It would really make for an interesting case study if it led to the collapse of society.
I don't say that that being super green is bad, the problem was to rely almost solely on natural gas (from those we don't name) to stabilize the grid.
Well, and now using that bad coal to fix that... I don't know, that also doesn't seem to be very wise, although I know, its only the consequence of the first mistake, but it completely negates what they tried to achieve.
It's $3 more a month. We can all talk about percentages but it's $3/mo or $36/year and not a big increase. I get feeling like it's a bait and switch but it's not a lot of money and not outrageous.

Server pricing, potato pricing, I suppose every product has some energy component baked into the price. Probably more than I might even guess…

High electricity price, and high energy cost in general, is probably the biggest regressive tax that humans face.

Not just in direct energy and gas consumption, but in the baseline increases that flow through to all the essential goods that households purchase.

New energy generation technologies must not only be cleaner, but also more efficient. It is so crucially important to raising standards of living to ensure a reliable supply of cheap energy.
Hello HN,

I know what you are thinking, another Zapier alternative again? Needless to say, lots of automation tools out there, however there isn't one that has the built-in logic of interacting/consuming information from blockchains.

So I created Outerbridge to allow people building workflows involving on-chain and off-chain applications, with simple drag and drop interface.

You can do things like like monitor smart contract events, wallet balance and integrate with other applications such as Discord, Teams and etc.
You can even create hot wallet as a relay to interact with blockchains (i.e: signing transactions).

The primary focus is on web3 developers to automate tasks after smart contracts have been deployed, but not limited to just that.

It is also easily extensible to create your own application integration.

Looking forward to build this community together and see what we can automate with Web3 and Web2 applications.

Once you have tools that let someone with no skills build a product, you get a product that works like it was built by someone with no skills.
"Notorious" isn't always negative—the connotations of the word depend on context (and probably regional use?) in sometimes confusing ways.
>it mostly turns into carbon dioxide and then hangs around for millenia, meaning it is categorically worse.

This too is inaccurate. CO2 has a half-life in the atmosphere variously stated between 27 and 49 years.

If the world magically went zero Co2 today, The atmospheric levels would decrease about 2.5%/yr

Yeah but what if the pizza place in question said in March, "While you can get a free slice of pizza now, in a few months[1] that won't be the case," and then provided a clear date for when that will happen?

Yeah most people just call it Torn right now, but yeah the game is still going fairly strong. They released a mobile app which helped drive some more popularity to the game again. The mobile app is really just an in-app browser wrapper for the mobile version of their site, but it helped get them some extra visibility for the game via the app stores. Especially with how popular idle style games are right now on the app stores, Torn kinda fits in well with them.

It's pretty neat how long this game has been going for and how they still keep hiring more devs to work on the site! I'm sure if you checked out the game now it would look a bit different from when you worked on it 15 years ago! Though I'm sure some elements would still be a bit similar.
The Indian caste system is Google's problem to solve?

Let's talk about Google's caste system.

There are at least two main castes at Google: The "Googlers" who get all the perks, and the support staff who do all the work and get far fewer perks.
The upper caste gets meals, those nifty buses, medical care, etc.
The lower caste does not get all those things (I think they get meals, but not in the same cafeteria) and they are specifically trained not to get familiar with the upper caste. In fact, they can get in trouble for fraternizing with the "real" Googlers.

It's worth noting that the upper caste is made up mostly of white, Chinese, or Indian folks while the lower caste is mostly Mexican (in CA that means anyone from south of the border from Mexico to Chile and Argentina), Filipino, and some Arab people. (There are very few black people working at Google.)

Google is progressive in the sense that they don't hate their servant class, but they are just as caste-conscious, if you will, as Indian culture.
From the point of view of the consumer what's the difference? An item that is listed for price P online in the US costs a US buyer P x (1 + s) where s is the sales tax rate and costs an EU buyer P x (1 + v) where v is the VAT rate.

As far as I can see the differences are in what happens on the retailer's supply side. In the US generally there won't be sales tax on the supplier's sale of goods to the retailer. In the EU there might be VAT on those, but the retailer might get to deduct the VAT they pay when they are remitting the VAT they collect.

The net result in both systems is that the consumer pays all of the sales tax or VAT. In the US system the government doesn't see any of that until the final sale to the consumer. In the EU, entities up the supply chain pay part of it but get it back later via deductions so in effect VAT for those entities is a loan to the government which the government pays back from the VAT consumers pay.
