>Time for another round of quantitative easing, easy money, the whole government bonds -> central banks -> private banks routine, perhaps? The banks can then extend loans to power users at low rates, so they can pay the higher energy fees?

>Of course that's nonsense

Setting aside the inflationary and other side effects of doing so, this is not a case of "government can cap the bills" or "government can provide subsidies to help pay for higher bills" or, even, "government can ration electricity". *SUBSIDIES DON'T MATTER IF THERE IS NO SUPPLY*.

So many people in /r/europe (and their sycophants elsewhere) are in denial. Check out this /r/ireland thread. <https://np.reddit.com/r/ireland/comments/x1mbq9/small_busine...> Normally this sort of post—image with accompanying story of person/small business required to pay huge costs to giant company—is the closest thing to karma bait. There would be an endless stream of replies blaming big business/greedy companies/capitalism/etc., etc.

But not this time. Yes, there are some such comments, but also a striking number coming up with all sorts of "explanations" (all wrong, as far as I can tell) for why the bill is actually the restaurant's fault.

Why they are in so much denial, I don't know. Do they really think that if they don't acknowledge that energy bills across Ireland, the UK, and the continent are skyrocketing, maybe it will all go away? Or do they (given the Ukraine flag in the posted tweet's profile) think that if they publicly acknowledge that it's happening, doing so will contribute to Putin's victory and Ukraine's defeat?
A Quick Dive into WebP
Interesting, though it would be extremely hard to find records of this outside of maybe graffiti, and Roman historians if anything loved to record salacious things like this about prominent people, especially ones the individual historians themselves detested.

My impression is that it was less common to outright deny reality and more common to blame at least the disasters and pandemics on those one found troublesome supposedly offending the gods.
The problem isn't hardship, the problem is hardship does not pay for itself like it used to.
The energy cost to stream an 800mb movie is magnitudes less than a truck driving 30ft to the house next door to deliver the DVD. Now multiply by 1.1 billion each month.
Ask HN: Identify duplicate files in my data hoard?
Backing up my documents and files to portable hard drives has been my strategy for decades now. I have so much data now, copied from one machine after another, from one drive to another that I have multiple copies of many files squirreled away in different locations on my backup drives (who knows how that happens — organization strategies changing over time?).

There has to be a tool (script?) that can scan a volume and using filenames, file sizes, come up with a list of possible duplicate files.

I don't think I would trust it to auto-cleanup (auto-delete duplicates) but at least with the duplicate paths laid out I could go through and begin the slow process of pruning until I have a final, canonical (and singular) backup of my files.

(Bonus if I can point it at the iCloud for the same purpose.)

> problem seems to always be bad leadership

The root-cause then must have been lack of democracy. Rome once had a democracy sort of right? But when the authoritarian emperors took over, you could say sayonara to "civil society".

Bad leadership is caused by people's inability to hold leaders accountable. In other words by lack of democracy.
These numbers make no sense to me. If you typically have 1900% gross profit margins on USB cables, why isn't everyone making USB cables?
His biggest contribution may end up being showing the synthesis of the toad venom chemical.

People have been flocking to the southwest US (and maybe northern Mexico?) to try 5-MEO-DMT, which is expressed by the glands of a toad that’s native to the area. Hamilton made a video where he synthesized the active chemical in the toad venom, in a country where it is legal, and he didn’t have to touch any toads to do it.

In the same video, he showed that many toads were run over by increased traffic. While that’s largely an external factor due to urban sprawl, he argues that leaving the toads alone is a good idea, and I agree.

> The proof is the observation that endemic inflation only happens in countries with fiat money systems.

More generally anything that increases the money supply. Non-fiat monetary systems have suffered from inflation due to debasement of the currency or an influx of precious metals use to create coins (e.g. when gold from the new world flooded the Spanish economy).
>Most governments are providing some sort of monetary help

This is not a case of "government can cap the bills" or "government can provide subsidies to help pay for higher bills" or, even, "government can ration electricity". Setting aside the inflationary and other side effects of doing so, *SUBSIDIES DON'T MATTER IF THERE IS NO SUPPLY*.
People from the lower 48 can't seem to conceive how important GA is to Alaska. If you grounded all GA planes in Alaska, thousands of people would start dying of starvation within a couple of weeks. There are simply no roads to most of rural Alaska.
I wonder how many learned how to remove malware and/or reinstall Windows too, thus gaining quite useful practical skills and becoming more comfortable with tinkering with the OS. I've read plenty of stories about kids accidentally doing so on their parents' computer, then while desperately attempting to fix their mistake, learned about such things as the registry (in particular, the location of autorun keys...), batch files, the command prompt, etc.
Nice to see the API gateway that can support real dynamic management!
Wireless isn’t “close enough” for charging larger phone batteries.

I travel a lot for business and I will soon be doing the digital nomad thing flying across the United States. I use a portable monitor that is both powered via USB C and does video over USB C.

The numbers I gave were national averages for the US. Of course those numbers will vary by location.

That said... you'd be surprised how many flights out of the small GA airports in big cities aren't personal flights. Air ambulance, news crews, law enforcement, firefighting (usually more on the periphery of the city), utility companies doing inspections, and aerial photography all tend to operate from these locations.

On the other hand, I'd certainly expect the number of flight school operations to be higher in areas with a large population.
I try to do paper reviews (like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31379383) because it is a great way for me to learn more and _hopefully_ share in a way that is useful for others . My writing abilities are still a work in progress :)
9 of 10 recruiter emails I get have 3 or 4 paragraphs leaving me none the wiser about the company, the product, the role, or why they thought I'd be interested.

This is incorrect. The common EPS memorandum was signed in mid 2009 as a result of negotiations between the dozen dominant phone manufacturers at the time and EU. The standardization did not begin until the phone makers realized the EU was serious about this.
> The physical connector is terrible and ends up being the first thing to break on a lot of electronics.

The USB consortium already botched that badly with mini-A, so learned from that in the design of micro-A and then C. C was also influenced heavily by Apple's experience with lightning (Apple is a core member of the USB Consortium).

The physical part of type C is quite good: the nice grounding shell (preferable IMHO to lightning) high frequency design, and most importantly (per your comment) failure is mostly directed to the cable, not the jack (one of mini-A's problems) since a bad cable can be replaced while a damaged jack these days means replacing the device.
When? When it's good enough to convice you through email that the cut is worthwhile!
> If you have a nice pot of boiling water at 100°, and you add a bunch of cold eggs

You're also likely to crack those eggs from the thermal stress. Standard American Frontier Cooking Tradition demands that cold eggs go in cold water and come to a temperature along with the water. Turn heat down to a simmer just as it reaches boiling. Five minutes for a standard soft boil, ten for hard boiled. Then place under running cold water to cool for 5 minutes before peeling (which you should do immediately, don't let the egg sit in its shell, it is much easier and cleaner to get it out now).

Works every time. Even on induction ranges, which I've been using for 11 years now. Frankly I don't know what the author of the linked article is complaining about.
I wouldn't really expect your personnel ages to leave the range of an unsigned octet in the foreseeable future. Hell, I'm pretty sure we're not expecting to have personnel exceeding 127yo anytime soon.

(Note, however, that counting occurrences is in principle at least O(log n) space and, without a bit of cleverness, likely O(n log n) time—your integers need to be O(log n) wide to count that big!)
There is also Aurora Postgres, though I've heard it still suffers from vacuum issues for some workloads.

Great to see. Although it just makes me more sad that I think I can't live with the screen size / resolution. I buy laptops as portable workstations and for me 14.5-15 inch is the threshold where the screen becomes sufficient to work for full productivity. The new 16" Macs are amazing in this regard.

But I'm excited nonetheless and perhaps at some stage I could see this being a nice companion to my full size laptop for other purposes.

The company is "way more interested" in continuing to squeeze the $$$ out of you, and would rather you not know anything but be subservient to it, because then you cannot object.

Jets and turboprops do not use "unleaded fuel", they use jet fuel (which is basically kerosene).

"Unleaded fuel" doesn't mean any fuel without lead, it specifically means gasoline (petrol) without lead. Hydrogen gas (or liquid) can be used as a fuel, but no one would call it "unleaded fuel".
I had to reread this comment multiple times since I felt that I had a fundamental failure of reading comprehension somewhere along the line.

> The problem statement says "find the record" but all the answers are about printing the median age.

The problem statement does not say "find the record". The problem statement says, fully quoted:

Teenage angst is a hard thing. Maybe live your life and worry about running a business when you have some more life experience
they often make people feel as if they are obliged, or will be inconveinienced

and when you say i have nothing to discuss with you, and no business to conduct, goodnight, and leave me to my home and family they are supposed to similarily say sorry to bother you and leave.

you have the idea of a warrant on the button, as permission to violate certain legal rights.
Nope. Not piston engines anyway. Airplane engines have to be much more reliable than car engines in a much harsher environment, and until today leaded fuel was the only solution that produced the requisite level of reliability.
> The idea of running video signal over USB is just cringe inducing.

Although the cable can passively fall back all the way to USB 2.0, apart from that the only thing that these cables have in common with USB is the name. It's a very high speed serial bus with insane tolerances and complex protocols (even the cables have CPUs in them). So no need to cringe, except at the absurd naming conventions of the USB consortium.

Of course this also means there aren't many chipsets, unfortunately.
Perhaps this was the result of pointing GPT at the title "Responding to recruiter emails with GPT-3" trained on a corpus of tech blog posts.
The most underrated thing about websites vs. apps is that websites have a URL. URL is almost invisible thing since we just take it as granted. Phone apps afford no such visibility into where you are in the app as well as sharing the state with someone.

I worked at the Daily Illini for part of a semester, and my job was to write headlines. The main concern then was "does it fit in the column head?"

I guess now the length constraints are less, unless there's also a print edition. But in any case, it's still probably the job of someone other than the writer.
>There's nothing magical about flight. Take-off takes a bunch of energy. Maintaining that energy, not so much.

Yep, take-off and ascent burns a lot of fuel, much more for the time duration than cruising. It's too bad there isn't a way of recovering some of that energy when descending, similar to how electric cars recover energy when braking.
Looking at the failed queries, yes, OOM might be one big factor due to aggregations (there is no join in these queries though).

Sounds like the trick is just... put them in already-boiling water. Putting them in cold water, then bringing it to a boil, is what causes them to stick to the shell.
Five hours and no one has actually attempted to answer the question as far as I can tell.

If I was Mary I would probably want A. As a programmer I would tend toward C becuase I have been burned by not questioning requirements before. If Mary were me (so to speak) I would hope she asked me such questions, but most people giving requirements get annoyed with too much hair splitting, at least hair splitting from their perspective.
China (and East Asian countries in general) heavily emphasize STEM careers. There are more honor roll students in China than there are students in the US.

There's no need for Chinese software companies to pay $500k/year for a single senior software engineer like some SV companies. There are a lot more them in China.

Part of it is the East Asian culture. Part of it is that the US has been wealthy for so long that the student population choose arts and humanities over STEM. When your family is/was poor, you'd rather go into STEM.

It's only a matter of time, in my humble opinion, that China surpasses the US in technology - especially with the US' tougher stance on immigration, polarizing society, and unfriendliness to immigrants. For now, the US is still clearly in the lead after a ~100 years head start.

OK let’s say we do that. For the sake of argument, let’s define USB14 as what we call “Thunderbolt 4” today (basically USB4 plus a few extra things that are optional under the USB4 spec), with 100W of PD. And let’s define USB63 as plain old USB 3.1, at 10gbps with no alternate modes, with 30W of PD.

I buy my mom (who is not technically savvy) a computer with 2 USB14 ports and 2 USB63 ports. She wants to buy a cable that will charge her USB34 (yet another version of USB corresponding to USB-C at 2.0 speeds with no PD) headphones. How does she know what cable to buy, and what port to plug it into?

If you think about this some more, you might agree with me that it’s likely worse than the current naming scheme.
