This is a great option because it helps small and poor municipalities to retrieve the initial cost of setup up a Methane based power plant.

After some x years of BTC mining, the initial investment is fully paid back. Afterwards, they can choose to continue mining BTC or simply hook up the power plant to the electricity grid.

A classic win-win.
I remember this from back when the internet was shiny and full of hope. Vs the value extraction that’s happening.

Of course, I’m sure it was mostly just me being young vs the market really being that different.

> Yes, it's possible that the OP is accidentally being a bully by insisting on getting their way every time. But it's also possible that everything the OP is saying is true, and the other party really is objectively wrong.

My point is that both of these things can be true. By insisting you always get your way in any dispute, you can be a bully even if you are always "objectively right".

How do we know who is "objectively right"? Both sides believe they are, right? Have you never realized later you were wrong about something?

> I personally have encountered a situation where a tech lead repeatedly doubled down on idea that was objectively deeply flawed, but they had a lot of political capital, so management told me I just needed to "give in". Other engineers agreed with my assessment in private, but weren't willing to say so publicly.

I will say again that I am not suggesting that anyone lie about what they think, or say one thing publicly or another privately, or not share their true assessments publicly, or that this is a good culture where people think they need to.

To be fair, Hetzner is notorious for pushing down prices for everything as far down as they can by any means necessary. So this most likely makes their price point more sensitive than many other providers to any cost increase.

> Correlation doesn't equal causation
>
> For example, here are some weird correlations of no real significance

This is an nonsense take on science. Your two statements are totally unrelated to one another and mean completely different things mathematically.

Those graphs with "weird" correlations were generated backwards. They had data and looked for lines that look similar. Scientific studies are generated forwards (usually, let's not talk about retrospective studies which tend to produce junk "science"). We have a hypothesis we manipulate it and we see if there is an association.

If you write down the math for these two scenarios they are completely different statistically!

In one, you're always going to find another pretty line to match if you have data. It means nothing!

In the other, the likelihood of two things being correlated in your experiment when they are totally unrelated to one another is very low (assuming your experiment is designed well). The question is generally, what is the path from the variable I manipulated to the effect, not "random stuff happens, lets forget about science and live in this cave now."

So please stop saying "Correlation doesn't equal causation" it's nonsense that "smart" people repeat and then link to that website without understanding what's happening.

That website doesn't debunk science, where we run experiments without knowing the results. It debunks charlatans and liars that say "X looks like Y so they must be correlated". That's not what we do in science.
Or it could backfire and cause businesses to blacklist his firm, existing customers to end contract, and leave a negative impression of him and the company on the remaining employees.

To be an atrocity, it has to be extremely ethically wrong for some reason. I do not think it was, so I do not agree it was an atrocity.

If it is the least-bad long term option, that makes it in context the ethical choice. Hence, not an atrocity.

If it's still technically possible (it is), it will happen again. It's implemented to be used, even if occasionally. And mere existence of this feature is a clear declaration, you don't own it, you rent it. Many people may find it acceptable, taking other circumstances, but it's a big bold minus.

With Civ5 you probably want to use Vox Populi. It really improves the game to a completely new level, including the AI. It's not a human opponent but much better than any Civ version ever shipped officially.

Vox Populi is a DLL mod though so Windows only. This mod is basically the only reason I keep Windows around.

Edit: and forgot to say that the development and community is very active, 12 years after the game originally shipped. New versions come out regularly.
Similarly, one of the things I often do is imagine the finished result. I habitually pretend I am demonstrating the software to friends (or rivals!) I walk them through it, and explain it in my imagination, imagining their positive reactions. It also helps me get clear on the look and feel of the software and what it actually means on a high level.
SQL and excel are pretty different tools. When used as a database, SQL is far superior to Excel. When used for calculation, SQL isn't even particularly good:

- Depending on which implementation you're using, it has a pretty anemic set of built-in functions.

- Building calculations on top of other calculations is trivially easy in Excel and basically not available in SQL.

- SQL forces you into a tabular mindset - Excel is often used that way but it's more freeform and you can have individual calculations that don't map to a particular schema.

- Excel has much better UX in terms of visually representing what you're building as you build it, where SQL doesn't have any real interactivity in terms of building queries.

Your product does look cool, but I think it's very much addressing specifically the "Excel / CSV as database" use case and less the analysis side.
Are you counting “recalls” that are remedied by an over the air software update?

> It’s my belief that this coerced monoculture of identity politics and ideology will significantly degrade the quality of American universities, to say nothing of K-12 education. The long term effects on American economic competitiveness and the ability to attract foreign students will be severe.

I don't disagree with you, but I think one of the understated tragedies is that this shrill weirdo extremism (usually an ideology of privileged mainstream people with white savior complexes; note, for example, that most Latinos consider "Latinx" ridiculous) distracts people from the populist, inclusive platform of legitimate leftists (as opposed to corporate centrists taking virtue-signaling stances while not changing anything they actually do). The staunch but watered-down (from an economic perspective) "leftism" that is becoming mandatory on college campuses is a product deliberately engineered by Kapital to make upper-middle-class liberals and leftists (yes, there's a huge difference, but 85% of the country sees us as the same) look a certain way, and one that doesn't suit our goals.

Thing is, our society is still as racist, sexist, religiously bigoted, and classist as ever; it's just that the rich have gotten good at using chatter about these issues (chatter of a kind that will never actually progress toward solving them, because that's not what capital wants) to divide people.

It doesn't advance the objectives of liberals or of leftists to have wankers going on about how "math is racist" (it isn't). It just makes us look like idiots.
I give ESPN credit for morphing itself past being the pioneering sports channel.

It's become kind of a joke, but at least it's moved outside the niche. Maybe someday it'll find relevancy again. For now, there's no way I'd pay for ESPN.
This is is an alternative theory that has gained traction in some contrarian quarters; but holds little weight.

The Soviets invaded territory that the Japanese held; and their actions did remove a possible pathway for Japan to stay in the war, sure.

However -

The US was the main game in the Pacific Theatre and their continuous, rolling campaign of victories - culminating in the bombs - was the primary cause of the end of the war.

This is the general consensus and has been revisited.. and revisited .. and revisited .. mostly by those with a primary motive of discrediting the US for using the bomb.

It’s easier to argue against the use of the bomb when you bluntly reject any positive outcomes; but first one must deal with reality. And the reality is not difficult to discern.

The Soviets invaded Manchuria, meanwhile the US had already taken actual Japanese territory.

While this absolutely made it much more difficult for the Japanese to allocate the resources needed to defend themselves on so many fronts, they were far more interested in defending their homeland than in keeping captured Chinese territory.

If you were to consider two counterfactuals -

- Soviets invade, bombs are not dropped
- Soviets don’t invade, bombs are dropped

Only one of these still leads to surrender. Manchuria was a sideshow compared to the real game.

Editing to add -

If you want any further proof, just look at who the Japanese actually surrendered to. There is nothing in their culture (then or now) which would cause them to surrender to anyone besides their actual victor.

This is the first time seeing this. Man I've read so many layoff letters recently with the same tone as the video. The lack of emotional intelligence is eye opening.

It reminds me of Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong's self-centered opening paragraph in his layoff letter:

"Today I am making the difficult decision to reduce the size of our team by about 18%, to ensure we stay healthy during this economic downturn. I want to walk you through why I am making this decision below, but first I want to start by taking accountability for how we got here. I am the CEO, and the buck stops with me."

Certainly there are more than I expected anyway, and seems like Christianity is growing among the young this last years (don't know why exactly)

"Christian style" weddings are quite popular there, although are usually done only because they look pretty and probably exotic, foreign, or movie like to them. And in fact it's not unusual to do two ceremonies, one Shinto, and another Christian (I've seen it in some friends), with different clothing and everything. IIRC, legally-wise it doesn't matter, they only care about registering the wedding in the city hall, all the ceremony is just for showing.

It's quite interesting to see, anyway, the influence we (Spaniards and our Portuguese neighbors) had when the Jesuits and the Franciscans went for doing their proselytism and stuff. I've been told I look "like the Jesuits from the old paintings" (I don't look typically Spanish, I'm tall, pale, big nose and bearded, but maybe that evokes St. Francis Xavier to them...)

I'm not religious, but the cultural side really fascinates me, as how did Portuguese and Spanish words ended in their language way before globalization.

That's nuts to me.

I live in a town of ~15k people in a Southern state, and I have symmetric gigabit. Granted, I pay ~$110/mo, but I have the option of symmetric 300Mbps for ~$50/mo. Neither plan has a data cap.

Then again, I chose my home based on the local ISPs' physical network topology. I didn't rely on their service maps, either - I physically went to their installation folks and got a copy of their maps.
That was callous, to be sure. But remember, mummies were being ground into fertilizer at an industrial scale. Or so I remember. Egyptians were often little more respectful of their history than outsiders.

> That's the definition of physics. Models are fine-tuned to match the observation and be predictive.

That's not what "fine-tuned" means. Epicycles can be fine-tuned to reproduce the motion we see from elliptical orbits. However, we should clearly prefer the theory of elliptical orbits because it reproduces observations without any extra parameters needed to fine-tune it.

Had a little bit of Deja Vu reading this. After I clicked around the site I realized it's because I read it in the book https://staffeng.com/book which the author of this post wrote.

I was promoted to principal engineer earlier this year (first in my company) and felt a bit unsure of what exactly the role entails and what I should be doing. I still feel that way to an extent, but that book has been very helpful in clearing some things up, providing me some more solid footing, and generally spurring me to take initiative. Can recommend the book if you're in a similar situation, or aspire to be.
I'm not sure that those really are the extremes. I think quite a lot of people believe that justice may or may not ever happen depending on how we choose to act as a civilization. Even further than that, many people believe injustice is an inevitable feature of existence.
> Correlation is observed relationship, not functional, actual, causative relationship until a mechanistc reason is found, or it's absence is understood, and it's just.. pirates and chips.

Be careful though: causal relationships exist where they do, and humans may not be able to find them and thus classify a causal relationship as merely a correlation.

I think correlation != causation misleads a lot of people on places like Reddit.
I lift.

It’s an infinite series of stacked physical exertions that reminds me that I can’t think my way out of putting in the work.

It’s a great metaphor for how most really incredible projects are actually built (with a lot of grind). It also helps build the mental muscle of ok I gotta hit my targets today so I can hit my new targets tomorrow

In theory this seems like it could be enough, but in practice there will be sites where they change the DNS name and so you must override, and because that feature exists some fraction of phishing targets will override.

The crucial trick in WebAuthn is there isn't an override button. There is no "fall for the phishing scam" button, so there's no way to push it.

The time we were walled in was when all you media was delivered via cable or satellite of broadcast channels, which is what executives at those companies decided to show you.

No one is walled in now. If a content producer in Tajikistan made something that blew everyone away, everyone can watch it around the world without having to go through the bosses at Disney and Comcast and Netflix.

By and large, people like their curators. For example, I have no interest in sifting through content to see if it is worth watching or not. So I let my sources mention a show or movie’s name a bunch of times before I decide to watch it.

Others depend on the fact that it u in a on Disney or Netflix or Apple TV to be the filtering mechanism. Others do not mind wading through YouTube or TikTok filth.

The power is in the consumer’s hands.
The capitalisation itself isn’t idiosyncratic (though it seems uncommon in the unix world), however that having a semantic impact is rather rare.

Not completely unique (e.g. variables v symbols in erlang, concrete type v generic placeholder in haskell) but really rare, and usually the capitalisation isn’t a switchable thing, it’s a very fixed meaning.

I'm not so sure "leaving it in the dirt" is a valid conservation technique. Else museums would be full of boxes of dirt.

I recall when Siberia melted (yes, it melted) ephemera were appearing as the snow and ice disappeared. Even here on HN folks argued emotionally about "leaving it all where it was" instead of collecting it. Even though it would be gone in literally days (fibre bags, lost arrows with fragile fletchings, and on and on) and not collectable later, as it immediately rotted or the wind blew it to pieces.

There's a cult of "leave it where it is!" that defies rationality. So that's part of the equation too.
