> If there were proper protections in place to protect privacy it doesn’t matter whether the violator is a government or commercial enterprise.

Legislative privacy protections make it impossible for you to sign certain things away contractually and/or make it impossible for someone else to ask you to do so contractually. The right to sell certain data to certain people at certain times, even if you have consent from the user, for example, can render a contract void. Of course legally limiting the things you can agree to in this way would limit the effect of these contracts. Don't sign shitty contracts though and you can get all of this today.

The government isn't bound by optional contracts though and as long as congress grants the government jurisdiction over everything not constitutionally interpreted to be covered by the fourth, government snooping is completely legal.

I agree with you. Congress should limit the government's data mining jurisdiction, but it seems hellbent on doing the opposite with things like PATRIOT, PRISM and wiretapping legislation. I think users should also stop being flagrant idiots with their data if they supposedly care about it so much. Users can effect change in the market by deciding not to do business with bad business practices. Meta says it's going to mix WhatsApp data with Facebook data and people boycotted, Meta backtracked (for awhile)... more of that, we can do both.

> Secondly, the courts have repeated ruled that the fourth amendment has nothing to do with privacy.

Privacy from whom? The fourth sets a bar for "unreasonable" searches of an individual by requiring a warrant for public access to "persons, houses, papers, and effects". The government can still ask you for information without a warrant and definitely will ask Google for information about you, which does not itself need to demand a warrant on your behalf. As stated above, everything that isn't explicitly enumerated as protected is fair game as well.

The constitution curtails the relationship between the government and the governed. The fourth says nothing about privacy from other private entities, corporate or otherwise.

I've used it for about 14 months extensively - I wasn't able to upgrade my rig when cyberpunk 2077 came out. It was brilliant - I played the game at max settings, looked beautiful, not a care in The world. Then I used it too for some turn based / strategy / rpg games as I could play them on laptop, desktop etc, and it was easy to try games without bothering with downloading and local storage. It was sufficiently excellent experience that even once I got an upgraded gaming computer, I still kept the basic foundation paid package due to sheer convenience. It's just great to try and play games with low frequency without installation / configuration / troubleshooting hassle.

I have also found it consistently less glitchy over last year to stream a game from cloud to my media computers via geforce now, than from my next room gaming rig via steam link... Which speaks more bad things of steam link itself, but also I think at least some good things of geforce now.

Note that I have Ethernet for my laptop and desktop. I can not speak to latency via wireless - my assumption would be "frustrating" so I didn't even test.
Of course humans build on work of other people. And what they do is partialy a mashup. But their work is not only replication of visual patterns. Its thinking its other non visual experiences its their politics and world views combined in their work. Often its their life project.

To think that artists only mash up what was before them is quite obviously wrong.

But its exactly only thing the tech does.
The Sorcratic method is great for novice-expert dialogue. It's demeaning when it's over applied in discussion amongst peers.

If someone wants to know another's axioms, it's easy to simply preface questions with that context. Absent that, the audience will infer what the writers intentions are. Usually when the audience guesses wrong we don't blame the audience, we instead respond back with polite critique that the author's words were unclear.

Maybe I've been on the internet too much, but there's been times when it's clear the Sorcratic method was being used as a rhetorical device with great effect rather than a knowledge transference device. We can both agree that's maladaptive behavior.
Are you perchance going by weight of dried fruit?

Consider that even if a married couple maintain strictly separate accounts, negotiate with one another about how much of each partners' money should be spent on this or that expenditure, and live separate financial lives, in a lot of places it's still all marital property. So in the event of the (very real and frequent) diverging life goals you raise, all the hardball they played with each other doesn't even matter. I don't have the password to your bank account where you keep "your" cash, but just wait until I call my lawyer to claw back my half of our marital property!

I used to make ~2x my spouse. Now she makes ~2x me (her increased a bit and by choice mine decreased a lot). We have always treated it as "our" money not mine or hers. Scott Pape in Barefoot Investor says couples should use joint accounts we haven't done that but it may be the solution for you, I would recommend that you both read the book before making changes.

And for what it's worth, be grateful she is doing well. it is awesome and she deserves your admiration & appreciation for her achievements.
No, what would geography have to do with it? Fiber can be run on poles or underground throughout the Bay Area — it’s an incumbent monopoly issue.
Zoning laws are meant to protect ownership interest in your property (not that they're always perfect).

A totally free-market approach allows one party to reduce the use or value of another party's property. E.g. in the above, the high-rise blocks the sunlight, which will could kill any plants on the property and preclude a backyard. That combined with the lack of sunlight could dramatically diminish the value of the property. Meanwhile, the highrise increases in value because they got X extra floors that get sun.

There is absolutely utility in the sun; in the most obvious form, it can be used with solar panels to generate electricity which can be sold for cash. My neighbor shouldn't be able to build a solar array that blocks all the light that would hit my property.

Zoning laws, to me, are just a shortcut to avoid having to enumerate and manage those rights individually, per property. There's a lot of things that can contribute to the value of a property, and it would be a mess to manage them individually.

People are talking about turn based games but my experience is that it's flawless and indistinguishable from native in twitch games like fortnite and counterstrike. But then again I live on the East Coast pretty close to a datacenter and I'm on fiber, so obviously this won't be the case for people in rural areas. But for people who are in situations like mine, it's great.
>> My rural internet connection is 40mbps/sec down in theory — in practice it’s between 25 and 40 depending which second you poll it, and the speed is affected by whether someone is downstairs watching Netflix while I’m upstairs playing a graphics-intensive game.

I'm surprised he even bothered trying the service let alone he found it playable. A rural area with 25-40mbps with someone using the internet at the same time ( let alone netflix!) is basically worst case scenario. If you are playing near a datacenter with reasonable internet your experience will be significantly better. Geforce now is technically very good when configured properly; it is similar to parsec (which is probably state of the art).

Worth pointing out: the Geforce now library is not great and and I wouldn't hold my breath on it improving too much. Most interested publishers have already signed up and the rest are either commited to other platforms or aren't willing to choose nvidia over other monetization options.

I’m confused, why would you be jealous here? Aren’t you and your wife “life partners” so to speak? That means understanding what money means to each person, understanding your partner’s money goals, and working towards shared financial goal.

Honestly, it sounds like you two need to have a heart to heart on this and figure it out, because frankly, you’re behind the curve on this. And if it’s not going well you should seek counseling. It’s important for a couple to be on the same page regarding money.

It's a five minute bike ride on flat land from Google HQ (mostly along utility right of way) to housing with < 6mbit DSL.

Drive 10-20 miles, and you'll be in areas where AT&T decided to sell the lines to a bankrupt telco. Looking at the lines in those areas is entertaining. The telephone poles were installed by some ancient secret society named "GTE", and now have 20 degree bows. When lines loosen up and block traffic, the usually just tie them up on to some nearby tree branch.

If you look really carefully, you'll occasionally see fiber points of presence dangling precariously from this mess of caution tape and guy-wire.

It's not all bad news: I know of communities outside of telco right of way that managed to tap into one of those.

Last time I heard they were debating between 1 gig symmetric to each home or paying a couple hundred bucks (one time) per house to get something comparable to what you'd expect in Tennessee.

It's definitely a problem with incumbent monopolies.

I hate SEO-optimized garbage as much as the next person, but I don't see how this avoids that problem other than being small enough that nobody is optimizing for your search engine.

If this was to become popular I suspect it would be overflown with SEO garbage just like Google. I guess that means we can use it while it lasts.

Not true, in Godot 4 you can do `Array[Node]` to have a typed array of nodes, replace Node with your type of choice.
> My simulation used the 24GW/120GWh of assumed storage and existing hydro to firm up the wind and solar and match demand.

120 GWh is not what most would describe as "little storage". The largest hydroelectric storage facilities in existence are in the single digit or low double digit GWh. And this is for a country with a relatively small population.

> Both the hydro and storage were assumed highly flexible. Note that I did not use the actual hydro generation data. I completely changed the dispatch of hydro so that it had minimal generation on days when it wasn’t needed, and elevated levels whenever there was a day with significant shortfalls of wind and solar relative to demand.

This is also a big simplification. While dams can just totally shut off the flow of water downstream, this has big ecological impact and also impacts availability of water in population centers that draw from the river. Most dams always release a minimum amount of water to ensure the river never runs dry. Much of his simulation has dams bottling up water for long stretches of time.
They didn't.

Curious to know the relative costs of HVAC vs battery per megawatt/hour offset from peak solar production.

4000 KMs east to west is about 2.4 hours offset geographically. Would it be cheaper to have 2.4 hours of storage closer to the east coast of Australia, with solar farms close to the consumption? Or would building a 4000km HVAC transmission line from the west coast of Australia to the east coast be cheaper? I'd imagine there would be a tipping point where one option is more economical than the other.

Personally, I'd like to see WA's electricity network connected through to SA, and connect SA's through to NSW, but I also like the idea of many independent microgrids for the resilancy they'd offer.

The OP story is literally the municipal provider delivering 25x faster service over 12 years. The "never upgrade the technology" provider is usually going to be monopoly Comcast, because they know your other option is a can and string.
> You have no authority over someone else's body. It sucks, but it's reality.

This is obviously untrue: the state can lock up and kill you, is currently asserting its right to restrict people from having abortions performed on them, and has been increasingly aggressive about attack peoples' right to undergo hormone replacement therapy, among many many other examples. Mandatory vaccination has very much been something the state has historically exercised its powers to enforce, quite successfully in the case of smallpox.

We're extremely inconsistent about what authority we exercise over others' bodies, generally, but we're a very far cry from never exercising it or acting as if doing so were simply beyond the pale.
It's true, I agree, the 1 hour limit is a feature not a pain point lol.
Yes, that's a fair summary.

Performance is not something I'm worried about for my app, maybe a few dozen people would use it at the same time, and I run everything at serializable isolation level anyway. But I can imagine that for processing real-world payment volumes, at some point you need to sacrifice the balanced-by-construction property for performance.

One issue I noticed is that there is some freedom in the representation of transfers. You can pick a canonical representation by demanding that the amount is positive, but then you have to make a case distinction everywhere in code. Often the code becomes much simpler if negative amounts are allowed. But it does make the credit/debit more confusing, and it goes against the observation in part 1 of the series, that accounting systems rarely work with negative numbers. I wonder why though.
Time to start investing in massive desalination plants I guess?

That's a really weird take, tbh. That particular case was one that _should_ have been easy, but wasn't. But I've also been on roads where the humans were confused because construction had messed up the lines so much.

Please, Br’er Fiber, don’t throw me in the 25 Gbps patch. Anything but that.

Seriously, I would be happy to take up the challenge if someone is willing to provide such service.

More seriously, that bandwidth probably doesn’t go to a single computer — those of us with multiple people in the household working or playing from home can do more & better things simultaneously.
I make almost 2.5x my wife. All earnings go into one account and all funds are shared. We each have our own credit card to track personal purchases but they're paid for out of the joint account.

No, 0.5g is the weight of a dried mushroom for microdosing.

From another article I read:

> Common varieties such as Psilocybe cubensis and Psilocybe semilanceata contain around 6 -10mg of psilocybin per gram of dried mushrooms

So a 25mg dose of psilocybin is on the order of 2.5 - 4 grams of dried mushrooms, which is a hefty amount.
Life is too short to fight about money when money is not an issue.
I knew this would be your response.

You met someone who doesn't capitulate to your manipulation, took the time to cite things, and you're predictably "not impressed" even going so far as to refute the source I gave with "something else is going on" (conspiratorial thinking) or the source being "right-wing navel-gazing" (when all of the sources are either published papers, politically neutral statistics, or mainstream media outlets).

I made a point to look at your HN profile and subsequently your Twitter and you're clearly ideologically overwhelmed.
It's unclear in this comment if you are lumping them together, but GeForce Now's performance and stream quality is leagues ahead of Stadia's. As someone who exclusively games on the cloud.

Fine, if you want to split hairs. But you knew what I meant and are simply responding to the least charitable reading of my comment.

A job ad promotes the existence of a vacancy. The kind of ads that you need to disclose are ads are the ones that are about the product, not about the vacancies at the company producing the product.

It's similar to the "Replace Engine Soon" light in a BMW.
It’s weird to be married and imagine a scenario where my wife and I are arguing hers vs mine. I make approximately 4x more than my wife and we treat all money as shared. Bills are paid from a shared checking and if she wants to buy something she’s more than welcome to.

I think one of the most important aspects of a healthy marriage is being financially aligned. My wife and I are both similarly frugal so it works out well. Any large purchases we make are typically experiences together anyway like a vacation or a new shared car. We always make those decisions as a unit.

Could my wife afford our lifestyle if not for my salary? Probably not. But that’s the joy of being married to my best friend, I can drag her along and elevate her to my level. And she elevates me in so many other ways. Finances is just one piece of a big pie that is marriage.
This is accurate, but it leaves out something worth note: types can reduce the scope of validation needed. That's still a worthwhile outcome to work towards.
Not a lawyer either, but the "ads" (and I think they are ads in the dictionary sense, plus HN refers to them as such in the FAQ) are literally on the website of the company they are advertising for. It's hard to imagine that is not allowed.
I feel like I’m going insane you’re literally just quoting Scifi bull shit. This is money we’re talking about.
> Who cares if they had nuclear because of military goals

I do care if someone desperately tries to sell nuclear as green/sustainable or even wants my taxpayer money to fuel this kind of crap (EU).

> Germany releases over 5 times as much CO2 for the same amount of electricity as France. Would France have had cheaper electricity if they used coal, gas like Germany? Sure.

This is a straw man. I never said they should have build more coal or gas.

I even said that they should have gone with renewables.

> The amounts of renewables Germany has deployed is nowhere near enough to offset the amount of fossil fuels they use.

This is a lie.

They have replaced nuclear years ago https://i.imgur.com/i0n83xM.png

Renewables make almost half of the whole energy generation in Germany https://energy-charts.info/charts/renewable_share/chart.htm?...

Germany has actually a LAW to phase out coal completely.

The German taxpayer made renewables a product people can buy all over the world and generate power for small amounts of money. This ridiculous Astro-Turf campaign against Germany only shows where the wind truly comes from: climate change deniers and haters of renewable energy. And yes, yes you can assure me that YOU are different that it's just for the environment etc. etc. However the fact remains: nuclear is out. Money is better invested in renewables.

Face it and don't try to meddle with numbers only because you don't like them (Lazard).
A lot of commenters are completely overlooking the gender dynamic here. A husband earning much more than his wife is different than a wife earning much more than her husband.
