It doesn’t have to be anything super onerous.

If the marketplace is jointly liable, it could be as simple as them then requiring sellers to have a typical $2m liability policy from a licensed insurance company naming the seller and marketplace and provide proof of insurance before selling. If anyone shows up to sue over the product, you just direct them to the insurance company.

If you’re not doing anything dumb and don’t have a history of doing anything dumb, getting some basic liability insurance should be cheap and trivial.

It completely outsources the costs and moderation and probably _saves_ the marketplace money versus the current arrangement.

The only way you continue to sell a bunch of fake / dangerous products is if the insurance companies are taking losses on this. And they’ve shown themselves pretty adept at avoiding losses.
I don't like seeing mine and everyone else's tax dollars wasted and put into cost-plus contracts to the benefit of a few friendly government contractors.
I'm guessing 'charging station' and 'utility battery' will become synonymous.

If your station needs 2MW peak but only 100kW daily average then storing 3-5 MWh and also providing load balancing seems a no brainer compared to paying for a 2000A 1kV connection.

I guess invest in wire makers, trenching and low cost, low mass energy density batteries?

I wonder if we'll see a daily charge price cycle as a result. 5pm costing 10x as much as 10am
Not really a convincing article. Trends can change without the sky falling. While the young do tend to take more risks they're also poorer as a group. Perhaps the run of billionaire founders was a fluke that won't often repeat. Many came out of tech, which is a maturing industry.
I don't want it to fail, to many people have invested to much and it would be sad for the people involved. Also testing of some of the systems on Orion could be useful.

But I certainty would cry about it failing and I would suggest that success or not, the program should be canceled after this launch.

Aren't most variants of cold and flu members of the corona-family of virus? If so, it would seem logical that COVID also being a coronavirus would have the same (or at least extremely similar) effect on cold sores as other members of the same viral "family" would cause.
I understand the "first rule of optimisation" (and I am sure you do, too) but I hate it because people cite it too often so they can simply ignore performance aspects of their code (not you right now, just a general rant).

You have to know when to apply it, like your example. Don't optimize something that takes 1 minute into a 50-second task if it runs every hour when you have something that runs every 1 minute and takes 10 seconds that you can optimize down to 9.5 seconds first, and know how to tell which to optimize. Maybe don't optimize either if you have other stuff to do first.
What is your point? Suborbital tourist launchers are essentially irrelevant to efforts like Commercial Crew, SLS/Orion, and so on. They differ enormously in complexity, cost, and addressable market. By a similar token, an article from 2004 may well have interesting things to say, but talking about the economics of human-rated launch systems in 2022 without the context of Commercial Crew is like trying to drive a car without knowing about the gas pedal.

It's not controversial to say that manned space exploration is more expensive and complex than unmanned, but it also offers capabilities that unmanned currently can't match. Where I expect you will run into trouble is in trying to argue that those capabilities aren't worth the cost based on a view of the industry 20 years ago, and/or by extrapolating on deeply flawed analogues like Virgin Galactic while ignoring obvious, far more relevant counterexamples like Crew Dragon.
If that's your conclusion, I'm not surprised you're so invested in these ideas.
Starship hasn’t made orbit yet. I’m hopefully it will, even factoring in Elon time (wasn’t he talking about reaching Mars unmanned in 2024?) it’s slow going.

I’m hopeful it will meat here falcons success, but until then compare what’s actually possible today.
I use avidemux for quick cuts, and OpenShot for more complex edits.
You'd use a module to hides things. Some OOP languages conflate modules (which do information-hiding) with private fields in classes. If you think that `obj.f()` and `f(obj)` should mean different things, then your reasoning is likely faulty.
We are also in the middle of a rewrite to SwiftUI, did you include the multiplatform option in Xcode 14? Or is automatic. We are just like 5% progress.
This thing started with Facebook being accused of being the conduit for the stealing of the 2016 election through 100K worth of ads featuring Bernie shirtless. It's hard to remember because they got utterly bored with it eventually, and they have relatives that they brag work at Facebook.

> The Develop Denver (iirc the name) week is much better.

I think Develop Denver was a couple of day conference. It is pretty good, more like a typical conference than a startup week. I went in 2019, not sure when/if they are restarting it. I wrote a recap of that event: https://www.culturefoundry.com/cultivate/digital-agency-life... but it looks like the domain name didn't get renewed and now the conf site is occupied by another entity.

Develop Denver, IIRC, was an organized by many of the same folks at Denver Devs (a Denver tech chat group that started on Slack and moved to Discord): https://denverdevs.org/

I was visiting San Diego soon after the fees went into effect and they were dealing with a cholera outbreak because the homeless no longer had plastic bags to defecate into. So you have a miniscule effect on plastic pollution in exchange for a large effect in a different area.

>Even "for pay" content providers (mostly news sites) now shove video when you enter into their websites.

My understanding was that this was mostly a response to a decision by Facebook to boost their algorithmic ranking of articles that feature video. So maybe "two companies" :)
The difference with all of those things is it was parents "social panicking" about something they had no experience of, whereas parents are also on social media experiencing the negative effects for themselves.

If you want to look at past analogous campaigns, tobacco lobby arguments fit better: All the cool kids are doing it, so if you don't do it you're uncool, correlation between lung cancer/depression doesn't equal causation, the science can't prove anything, maybe people who are predisposed to lung cancer/depression are more likely to smoke/spend all day doomscrolling.

Desalination is an ecological catastrophe, and it costs over $1,000 per acre-foot, and that's before the cost of water delivery to the end user. For comparison, my local irrigation district charges ~$150 per acre-foot, delivered.

It's not my issue. But if TikTok is your issue, I'm not sure why you're not pushing for that.
I hope this doesn’t come across as rude, but have you ever held a trumpet? Even if you’ve never played one, you can see they have adjustable tuning slides (a main one at the first bend, then a smaller one off each of the three valves). Maybe you’re thinking of a bugle? But any decent bugle player can bend notes up or down at least a little, probably to compensate for weather/temperature/etc.

Why ironically? License (aka permit) is a document which gives someone a set of rights. No license no permission, that’s by default.
Sure. Lots of people will refuse to even entertain the thought, because if true, it means that we're already at war and our people are being killed, and most western people are too mentally weak to take on the burden of accepting that bitter reality.
You could sketch a three legged stool in MSPaint and use img2img.

I think looking at text prompts as an essential part of the technology is very limiting. You could be using a mix of text, storyboards, images of objects to place inside it, sketches of the desired layout, etc… in fact why not replace your game's renderer with it?
What issue do symlinks have that makes them worth listing as a negative? Asking as someone who wrote an installer script to make symlinks a decade ago, and has used it whenever setting up a new computer ever since.
I agree, SwiftUI's progress is just very slow. Especially their multiplatform support in Xcode 14. UI will look good in iOS but on macOS it's just very bad.

The only state where that became law like that is Colorado, and they have removed most of that restriction.

And here's the kicker: you're not going to harvest enough water in a barrel to water your yard. It's like an enduring folk myth that, "rainwater harvesting" means storing it in a barrel. While it helps, the best place to harvest rainwater for your yard is your yard. That means:

- Using variations of elevation and natural basins to sink the water in. Many design patterns for this. Brad Lancaster pioneered things like "curb cuts" in Tuscon, transforming his neighborhood. The city of Tuscon started using some of these methods on city projects.
- Encourage the growth of living soil, which will sink and store water within the land
- Which means, don't kill off the fungi and soil bacteria. Plants don't directly mine the minerals in the soil so much as exchange complex sugars with fungi and soil. Those fungi also form complex networks that connect plants together to distribute nutrients. When someone kills of the fungi and bacteria, and then tries to feed the plants directly with fertilizer, then then plants are not as resilient to drought
- Which means, it is better to grow something other than grass, or at least have other areas that are more biodiverse. A look through r/nolawns and you can have beautiful yards that are not necesssarily just a lawn

That video about these ponds is not about "claiming more than your share of the watershed to scerw those downstream". Percolation ponds are meant to slow down water and recharging ground water, and when taken together with a sound permaculture design, they end up providing more water downstream, particularly in times of drought, and heat conditions. Beavers used to do this all across the US, which is why they get a special mention in the video. (https://www.npr.org/2022/04/05/1090992348/beavers-can-teach-...)
I’m not talking about child porn. I’m talking about a woman promoting her own only fans site. Deciding that they don’t want to distribute that is just as much a free speech issue as the one you are talking about. You don’t get to cherry pick your pet issue and claim that free speech only applies to that.

FB distributes content, and they are always making an editorial judgement if they aren’t using a simple chronological order algorithm.

In my search for more works like the Baroque Cycle, I was led to Thomas Pynchon, who's writing far surpass that of Stephenson (in my opinion). In particular, Against the Day, Gravity's Rainbow, and Mason & Dixon. They are all historical fiction of sorts, with long detailed excursions into well researched nooks and crannies of history. Pynchon's writing is sublime once you get used to it.

They're pretty bad comments though. There are three main flavours:

1. The claim that since it's a new method of assessing excess mortality it's no use, and so "anti-vax propaganda" (despite making no claims along those lines, despite clear descriptions of the method and the reasons for it's use, etc).

2. The claim that since the researchers aren't epidemiologists, we can ignore anything they have to say on the subject of excess mortality, as it applies to an epidemic. The people saying this call the paper nonsensical (I'd call that ironic).

3. The claim that the sanctity and respectability of HN is lessened by having such anti-vax sentiment on the front page (very scientific criticism there).

That's it; that's the "explanation" for double flagging a published paper about a statistical method by a dude with 52 publications.
You should try using hydrocortisone.
There are some studies on it in combination with antivirals and it works quite surprisingly and very cost effective....
Make an actual falsifiable claim if you want to dispute something.

Do you dispute the paper has not been peer-reviewed? Do you dispute the authors have no background in the field, despite making major heterodox claims? Do you dispute their findings are at odds with all manner of other official sources?

Quickly flagging wild claims from non-experts is a feature, not a bug.
Who cares? Assembly is regular*, very much so. There is a single control flow construct, in conditional and unconditional flavors. There is a single language construct, of which the single control flow construct is but a special case. Code is Data and Data is Code. Everything is possible.

You don't need regularity or simplicity, you need automation. Programming Languages are tools to under-specify a problem\process\pattern\solution\structure and still get an executable that does something useful, meaning the parts that weren't specified were filled in by the machine (in any way necessary), meaning automation. In other words, "A low level programming language is that which requires attention to the irrelevant", per Alan Perlis.

In that light, lisp's syntax is awful, you're laying down the AST yourself instead of making a parser figuring it out from program text. You're paying precious attention to the extremely irrelevant, the fact that a function's body is nested under its name, the fact that a control construct wraps its code, instead of letting those trivial facts fade into the background of a nicely-designed grammar and actually focus on the code itself.

There is literally 0 need for making code-as-text reflects code-as-tree, Mathematica represents every single language construct as a nested list underneath, and yet it has an extremely rich and pleasant syntax, full of sugar and shortcuts and alternate forms. It can do this because it understands a very fundamental point that lisp syntax fans too often miss : text is irrelevant.

The string "(+ (* 4 10) 2)" is not an S expression, its the textual form of an S expression, the serialized form. You can't do anything useful with it without parsing, the actual S expression is a hierarchical object graph in memory, you can either get it from the text by quoting the text, or immediately evaluate it by entering the text directly into an interpreter (which gets the tree first). In all cases, there is no reason why quoting `while (cond) {exprs}` can't evaluate to the list (while cond (exprs)). You are already parsing the text anyway, quote is nothing but invoking the parser from within a program, so make the textual form convenient to humans while you're at it, a simplistic form benefits no one but the parser (a machine, the very thing that needs to work hard).

Lisp's big idea is just making the compiler's services available through an easy API, this has absolutely nothing to do with its crippled syntax, it can be done by any language of any syntax whatsoever, much better than the 1960s hack lisp fans has stockholm-ed themselves into loving. To the extent it's rarely done in mainstream languages, it reflects the designers' choice.

It really is, I remember when my wife hated Wal-Mart for doing the same things she doesn't like Amazon doing. But apparently she now feels that Wal-Mart is the lesser of two evils so she doesn't mind shopping there.

In my mind Wal-Mart is actually the evil one, I watched them destroy entire towns in the 80s. Everyone ended up working there, full time if they were lucky, and they gave all their money back every week because there was nowhere else in town left to spend it.

Buy the time Amazon came around the destruction was over. What Amazon did was raise the bar on customer service so high that everybody else had to follow. That is a net positive I believe.
Sounds profound, but I don't know why you'd want to use this metaphor heavily.
I use FFMPEG for crazy edits :D
Agreed. They were putting the passengers and the rest of the crew in danger, and probably over something minor.

It doesn't matter if, as the article pointed out, the situation was quickly resolved. It could just as easily have gone another way.
> In situations like this, you should always default to disbelief.

Thats some really unfortunate wording. None of this should be a matter of belief.

I'm not commenting on "permaculture bad" or anything like that. I've studied it and it's very interesting and I do think it's a good use of our water. That said, in the western us, you're going to have to start with trying to get water rights. It may be impossible to do this depending on your water district's situation and current management, so the rights themselves are more interesting to me than swales or whatever.
I don't know anything about what's on Facebook for the past 10 years other that what people tell me. But if it's like everywhere else, it's utterly drenched in anti-China invective that periodically gets deleted if it crosses into open racism and wasn't said by Marsha Blackburn.

Why use a separate term for them? If "upsells" are advertisements from the same company, and "ads" are only advertisements from other companies, what difference does that make to me?

I don't insist that others know the difference between software, a script, a program, and an executable, because my industry jargon isn't relevant to how they are interacting with it. I don't see why the specific jargon of how advertisers categorize or rename their advertisements is necessary for anybody outside of marketing to know.
It seems that this open source library can directly submit web tracking data to multiple platforms, like Google Analytics. If this is the case I don't understand what Segment the company does.

I was lucky enough to have learned Erlang in college and I had a similar "mind-blown" experience right in the middle of the lecture hall.

So the people in power in LA are actually spending hundreds of millions to billions on things like water capture, water recycling, etc, to get ready to have less external water in the future. And they're also instituting conservation measures, restricting watering, incentivizing replacing with drought-friendly plants and yards, incentivizing getting more efficient appliances, etc, etc. It would be a bad look to do nothing and just blame others, but that's obviously - from the linked article here alone - not what's happening. People on Hacker News are "crying bully" about agriculture, but meanwhile, there's a lot being done in internal preparation and improvement. And worst case? It's next to an ocean, so it's not like there's no source. There's red tape to all of it, of course, but if the urgency gets high enough... that tape could be cut through.

Meanwhile, would you seriously argue that it's not ridiculous, and in any way sustainable, to build agriculture in the central valley? Look at the numbers above: agriculture uses far more water than the cities so less water being available is going to hit it far harder than it'll hit the cities.

Los Angeles (or other cities) finding other sources of water isn't going to save central valley agriculture, so what's the obsession with the vast majority of the population who are using <15% of the water?

(And if we're calling the land where Los Angeles was built a "desert" instead of a Mediteranean climate we really should do the same for the central valley, after all. Drive through that land for three quarters of the year and it's immediately obvious that maybe it's not a great idea to farm there...)
