In my experience, you don't sign up for anything, but are automatically added to mailing lists against your will just for the sin of purchasing something. I never want to get emails from any company just because I purchased 1 item from them. Most people I know tell me they feel the same way, but instead of unsubscribing, they just mark it as spam and eventually it stops showing up in their inbox.

If I want emails from you, I will explicitly ask to be added to your mailing list. Anything else is spam as far as I'm concerned.
I used to host all my domains with NameCheap and moved them all off after a run in with their customer service, who I found to be really arrogant:

NameCheap send out their reminder emails telling you a domain is about to expire in the format: "Your domain <somedomain.com> expires on MM/DD".

Several times I had domains expire or almost expire because, being in Europe I naturally read 'MM/DD' as 'DD/MM' which, under certain circumstances looked like a domain was expiring several weeks in the future, when it was expiring imminently.

I emailed NameCheap customer service on a couple of occasions about this. Pointing out that, for their customers outside the US, their expiration notice emails were liable to be mis-read and I suggested they either use 'DD/MM' when emailing customers in Europe or --even better- just spell out the month name, so there's no possibility of confusion.

The first time I got no response at all. The second time, I got an email back from NameCheap Customer Service saying "We're an American company. We use American date format"

So I thought 'Fuck you then. You'll not be wanting non-American customers, in that case.' and immediately transferred all my domains elsewhere.

I'm currently using gandi.net. Not as cheap as NameCheap but no complaints so far.

Oh. And to address something raised by the OP: there's no way you should have to pay $150 [or anything for that matter] to revive a domain that expired the day before. I'm not sure what the grace period is. But, in the past, I've renewed domains that had expired a week or more previously and never had any problem. Nor have I ever had to pay any 'fine' for doing so.

GoDaddy are shysters. I'm actually surprised someone fitting the HN demographic uses them. I thought their reputation was pretty well known in techy circles and most savvy people actively avoided them.
Not being allowed to use a particular domain registrar is no punishment that I'm aware of. Particularly when said registrar's main offices are in the country being occupied.
Email is a lot less valuable these days, exactly because of how good the spam/categorization filters have become – huge kudos to gmail for this.

Phone number on the other hand – it is a nightmare – how every service (office front desk, apartment front desk, car wash, restaurant, barbershop etc) takes your phone number and uploads it to some spam database and then you get so many spam sms and calls.
I'm not aware of any state law that prohibits a hushable smoke alarm.

Short-term (<15minute, repeatable) hush modes are considered a safety feature. They prevent angry homeowners from removing the smoke alarm entirely, a far more dangerous situation than a short term hush.

NFPA 72 recommends a desensitization method for ionization smoke alarms and requires one for smoke alarms installed near a cooking appliance, and several states have followed in codifying this into law. Hush is not required for photoelectric smoke alarms, under the theory that they are less prone to cooking and shower-related false-positives, but this feature is still allowed and they are a common user convenience.

UL 217 allows smoke alarms to be provided with a <15 minute desensitization feature which prevents an alarm from triggering unless obscuration/ft exceeds 4%.

Also... the Nest v2 got an in-app hush feature. My understanding is that V1 had some kind of false-positive issue that triggered a ">4% non-hushable" alarm, though, so this wouldn't have mattered.
You're paying $330 for an alternator because you're competing for the mechanic's time with someone who's head has been pumped full of "but what if a wheel falls off, better leave it to a professional" rhetoric and who has enough money from his FAANG RSUs to entertain the idea spending $200 on a 20min pad slap brake job.
That's fair. Also some people might not want two jobs.

If the topic of this conversation is whether or not IM should be considered synchronous, then this argument doesn't hold up. If I take one side and suppose that IM should not be synchronous, then obviously the mistake in your case is on the individual that tried to use it for a topic that needed to be synchronous. The not-responding person is not wrong in that case since they're ostensibly using the method of communication as intended.

Dependabot watches all the transitive dependencies in your lock files. For better and worse. For worse in that it's not a great developer experience to get a PR on a low level transitive dependencies, which is also one of the largest complaints about Dependabot that it often feels too low level and not working at the dependency level you are working at. But Dependabot (and npm audit) still exist to audit all your low level transitive dependencies in your lock files.
Their comments about the performance were definitely a consequence of Bun's release.
Solar energy comes up often on HN, but it is misleading to talk about solar without differentiating between utility grid solar and consumer rooftop solar. Simply put, utility grid solar provides low cost power and consumer rooftop solar does not. The rooftop solar price is hidden because no power source has been as subsidized as rooftop solar. Besides direct subsidies, wealthier home owners are often paid the retail rate for the electricity they sell to the grid which causes higher electricity bills for those who can't afford to put panels on their roof - sort of a reverse Robinhood scheme.

You can see the cost differences here:
https://www.lazard.com/perspective/levelized-cost-of-energy-...

Rooftops are unused space, but the land use is generally a small part of the cost. Utility scale solar will always have economies of scale compared to one-off small installations on someone's roof. A dollar spent on roof-top solar would be MUCH better spent on solar panels installed on the ground by the utility.

I am really not sure what to make of anyone who supports the huge subsidies to make rooftop solar viable and then talks about the low cost of solar.

Registrar is a company which registers domains for me. Local registrar is the company which is located in my country.
It's the solar installers sucking money away. It's so freaking simple to set up. Here's my price for my "initial" system. I plan on making it about 4 or 5 times larger and the prices below just gets multiplied by 5

$2,268.00 4.8kw Panels
$1,577.00 6kw Inverter
$4000 (22khw batteries)

Roughly paying $2 per watt but that includes 22kwh of freaking batteries otherwise it's less than a dollar per watt y'all. Right now this system is freezing my ass, distilling water and running my fridge (I'm in an rv building my property).

I'm a huge fan of string all-in-one inverters because they do much more for the price than stupid panel inverters that cost too much. That and I'm off grid so it makes much more sense because why pay PG&E at these prices.
I've heard this before: "The product isn't the product. The stock is the product."

This can be true in VC-backed private companies too, but with public companies it seems to be even more amplified since the investors unlike angels/VCs often don't even know let alone care what the company really does.

Accelerated aging works well.

Any competent, reputable company providing 30 year warranties in marine environments is going to stick test panels in a temperature-cycling salt mist chamber for an appropriate amount of time.

On a tangential note, California electrical utilities are trying to destroy residential solar through excessive taxation. It's pretty sick considering the state of the climate.

You are missing cost of materials, insurance, licensing, back office staff, marketing, cushion for slow months, opportunity cost, maybe franchise fees, training, etc. Basically all the costs of running a business. You don't just throw a few laborers on a roof and call it a day. I don't know the actual overhead on a solar install, but if a contractors markup too large they'll lose out to the competition fairly quickly.
VCs and other private investors are usually more active.

They require a full plan of action, bill of materials, sample pictures of what it would look like, etc., so I can't get it through by being vague.

I've been thinking about a "death by documentation" approach, where I give them a very intricate and detailed plan of action that includes things such as getting inspections done.

I am trying to steer away from anything aggressive like the hot pink satellite dish as I don't want them breathing down my neck for the next 5 or so years, but might need to resort to guerrilla tactics to get it done.

Twilio incident: What Signal users need to know
> Spend any amount of time in the communities where lonely and single men congregate and you'll see by and large they look nothing like the guy in the photo.

There is a lot of untruth in this statement and I will tell you why, because I was literally living this lifestyle. I'm not saying I still continue to accept these ideologies. The problem with these people is there is a huge gap in the wants vs have within men nowadays, i.e., they want something, but do not put in the effort. If things were easy, then would it make any sense? You wouldn't value what you have.

There's a sense of lack of values, morals and humanity within these communities and they perpetuate all the bad ideas.

Instead of repeating the grief cycle and trying to break out of it, they continue to wallow in this grief cycle. There's actually a diagnosis which is called prolonged grief disorder.

While pain is good for growth, grieving without a closure and trying to continue it without the presence of personal morals, values and humanity is dangerous. Humility is extremely important, and people nowadays don't seem to have it.
Car bluetooth is a whole different world of terrible software. I wish there was a standardized interface that car manufacturers would use, rather than hand-rolling their own.
I feel the same way. Unfortunately the only ways to make money in software today seem to be (1) cloud SaaS, (2) cryptocurrency which is mostly scams, (3) surveillance, (4) addictive Skinner boxes that suck money from people ("loot box" games).

Of the four (1) is the least shady.
I think this is a good time to ask if anyone is working on parallelizing machine learning compute anymore? For at-home computation like this it seems like it would be a lot better to allow people to stack a few cheaper GPUs rather than having to pony up thousands of dollars for ML-oriented beast cards to be able to do things like generate large images.

Something interesting to calculate if you like math and biology.

Why is it that Trees can generate more energy via absorbing light than implied by the surface area of leaf coverage of the outer branches?

Hint, yes has to do with light spectrums and their behaviors and the benefits of chloroplasts using more than one light frequency

Mostly in jointed hierarchies like robotics and skeletal animation in my experience. Otherwise quaternions dominate for representing rotation and translation and scale are kept separately. Even further in an editor you might represent the rotation as Euler angles.

I don't think anyone thinks the activists are pro fossil fuels, but by stopping the development of nuclear projects they essentially served the fossil fuels industry interests. It's not an accident for example that Friends of the Earth was founded by money from an oil magnate. From the groups wikipedia page:

> stopped more than 150 destructive dams and water projects worldwide

While I empathize with the desire to preserve waterways, you can be sure that for each one of these dams that didn't get built a coal or gas plant didn't shutdown.

There is a self heating failure mode for capacitors that would depend a little bit on current drawn, but the voltage across a cap would be constant regardless of current drawn so safety and fire related failures are primary based on time.

"Name Brand" products with legitimate UL listings almost entirely use Class X or Y caps where safety regulations require them and would be immune to this problem due to internal construction differences. "No name gray market off aliexpress" would be an unwise choice.

It's surprising how few fires we have from household electronics. The odds are it'll be fine.
My philosophy is that if I need a script something is wrong. Unfortunately a lot of things are wrong so I have a lot of scripts

Anecdotally I agree with you but doesn't this blog post suggest the reverse - click bait does well? The model was trained on a fairly comprehensive set of HN titles and it scores click-bait-y titles with a high "Good" probability. e.g. `"Beware! Uninstalling this PC game deletes your hard drive"` with a `62.0% Good prob`. There's a ton of hidden complexity involved here but if click-bait was generally downvoted by the HN community, we should expect a low "Good" score, right?
This version is a bit more optimized, and better packaged.
Also the model has been trained longer, so when the weights become publicly available the resulting quality should be much higher.

About $8k per year. Most were bought for just back taxes, so I basically paid 5 years taxes on them. A couple of them were bid up, so the taxes are less than 1/5 what I paid.
Besides storage itself, the Postgres compute layer has a good amount of (transient) state that doesn't lend itself to either compute nodes or clients springing in and out of existence in a serverless environment. For instance, a fresh compute node with an unfilled cache can perform horribly, and Postgres client connections don't scale well with transient clients. Both of these problems, and others in the same category, were very noticeable for Aurora Serverless. My understanding is that AWS mitigates these two by an elaborate cache-filling service for new nodes, and a pgbouncer-style proxy pooling connections and hiding compute nodes being rescheduled from clients.

What's Neon's point of view about transient state in nodes? Is there a world where serverless client connections are stateless, or is the set up overhead not expected to be worth the cost?

Which is an example of socialism where workers actually control anything?

While my example may not be entirely text book accurate, I only hear of socialists speaking as you say (advocating fairness as a principle.)

Impressions of working socialism are of a committee deciding who gets what (and what is in everyone’s best interests).

The example might very well be an authoritarian form of socialism, though not really trying to mince words, only to reveal that sometimes working systems we are familiar with actually work outside of the conventions we expect.

There are quite a few socialists who I respect (altruistic intellectuals), though few (0) working examples.

VS Code remoting is great and magic when it works well (which in my experience has indeed been most of the time), but it's still so much overhead versus native builds and native support. I use WSL for the rare times I need to use Ruby, but Node has been mostly good enough in Windows for years at this point and it is nice to have native builds with no remoting overhead.
