> I don't understand that? If you have functioning nuclear, why would you ever go to wind and solar.

A few reasons: The amount of fissile materials on Earth isn't infinite. As far as I understand (please correct me if I'm wrong... this is not my professional background), there are only ~230 years of uranium available.[1] And that's at today's consumption rates; build the amount of reactors we need and it's even less. Maybe we'd find more or maybe there's some other fissile material to use (thorium?). I'm not knowledgeable enough about the specifics to be honest, but it is finite on some timeline. Whereas wind and solar will last as long as the sun lasts.

Aside from that, there's always the small risk of malfunctions and nuclear proliferation. Even with newer tech that could greatly limit the possibility of accidents to near zero (it's already absurdly low) there's still the constant need of water for cooling and geopolitical issues causing problems like what is happening right now with the Zaporizhzhia plant in Ukraine.

That's why I say it's not perfect but that it does serve an incredibly important purpose in the near term to dramatically lower CO2 emissions and buy time to either deploy more wind & solar, extend the life of nuclear, or maybe deploy fusion if we ever finally crack that egg. Exactly how that looks would likely be a question for our children to answer.

LORD is a title, not a name. FYI.

For example, Psa 83:18, the name of God was replaced by generic title 'the LORD' like a wildcard, so it reads "Let them know that you, WHOSE NAME is the Lord—". so it can also written as "Let them know that you, WHOSE NAME is the SOFTWARE ENGINEER".

Who is the immortal living and true God in the Bible behind that LORD you are addressing/devoting to? There are millions of false/dead God nowadays who can't help you, but only one true living God exists that will. It is important to know. Being specific is more helpful, genuine and sincere, than vaguely calling a generic wildcard title (in which, God has every right to not respond, since your devoted addressee is questionable.).

Research: See the correlation between the Isa 42:8, Exo 3:15, Matthew 6:9, John 12:28, John 17:26, Pro 18:10, Joel 2:32, Micah 4:5, Acts 15:4, and Psa 83:18. See that the generic wildcard name does not fit the picture, and understand how important it is for us to use God's personal name.

Business Travel is broken. Either you don’t use a tool and you have to deal with receipts and ambiguous policies when travelling, or you have a tool mandated and it sucks. Our mission is to empower real-life connections by making business travel more enjoyable and sustainable.

We are looking to provide a ‘consumer grade’ experience to users, whilst giving companies the visibility and control required to effectively scale travel across a business.

We’re well funded, and scaling rapidly; if scale challenges are interesting to you, both from a UX and a server-side perspective, get in touch.

Our stack is:
Frontend: React/Typescript
Backend: AWS severless (python lambdas, cloudfront, dynamodb) with a good lashing of a django monolith we’re breaking up

> That's a very strange objection. Virtually every online service excludes all customers that don't have a credit card.

But they do not discriminate against who issued it. Valid? All good. Just like it with email.

> They're not being excluded, they just have to go through some extra steps

Disallowing an empty last name field is exclusion, not extra steps. Asking if it's correct is extra steps, which might be fair.

Disallowing what in your opinion is a "weird" email is exclusion, not extra steps. Allowing me to use it after sending me an email would be extra steps.

However, the name situation is just a validity or database issue, the email is unwarranted discrimination as all emails have the same format.

And that is exactly why the argument is not applicable: It is one thing to have a system not fit due to too an ill defined legal form or too many possible options (which is unacceptable on its own, but is hard to resolve), it is another entirely to decide to discriminate actively without cause, especially as it is extra work.

Your first argument was that an invalid email was a typo, which the validation flow sorts out which is needed anyway as a gmail address is no less likely to habe a typo. The latter was that weird emails are likely fraudulent, which is just flat out false.

So with those out of the way, what reasons remain for going out of your way and writing additional code for deciding what email address is right and what is wrong?
Why do people get all worked up over a difference ± a few hundred dollars on a very expensive purchase? When I want to buy a car, which I admit rarely happens, I look at the advertised price and if I'm willing to pay that price then I call the dealer and if I'm not, I don't. If the paperwork shows up with a different number on it then I tell them to leave, and it's their time, not mine, that was wasted.

I just really don't get the whole haggling thing. If you want a lower price, wait until one is being advertised, or substitute a different model, or get a bicycle.
> To be fair to dealerships, they do provide important services. They offer a distribution and service network, which is vital to both manufacturers and car buyers.

Until they don't. Throwback to that time "the world's largest Chevrolet dealer"[0] went under like Jacques Cousteau[1].

This is why the US sensibly protects opinion (this company committed fraud) based on disclosed facts (they charged me for siding I did not order), and flips the burden that the plaintiff has to prove the defendant knew the purported facts were untrue.

Which I mean, Ginther still obviously believes he did not order siding that he was charged for.
"Mr Reeves boasted of his state’s other bans: on vaccine mandates; on teaching critical race theory; on transgender students taking part in school sports on the basis of the gender with which they identify. “I think Mississippi has led on social and cultural issues for years,” he says, and he plans to keep that lead."

Let's not gloss over being the poorest state in the union also qualifies as leading the poverty rankings. Also having the lowest life expectancy is another. Oh, and dead last in public education. Way to lead Mr. Reeves! You're the best at being the worst!
I don't personally understand the appeal. While some dealerships are certainly sketchy, I've found high-volume traditional dealerships to be pretty straightforward. They price them to sell, you pay the price that's posted on the sticker/website.
Not to be confused with Phoenix LiveView, by the way. This is for iOS development.
But only if you're willing to use Chrome, as I believe Edge requires root permissions to install.
Do they depend on CUDA, or are they just much better tuned for NVIDIA cards? I thought the whole ML ecosystem was based on training models and then running them on frameworks, where model was sorta like data and the framework handles the hardware? (albeit with models that can be tweaked to run more efficiently on different hardware) (I don't really know the ecosystem so it is definitely possible that they are more closely tied together than I thought).

Note: I’m not a fan of Facebook. I didn’t get the role after the on-site.

Facebook for a data science role. Professional, relevant, fun. Edit: this was 2017, Menlo Park.

They evaluated multiple skills, from relevant behavioral type questions, to relevant technical questions.

Interviewers were engaged, smart, never arrogant, and I recall them asking questions about my resume that no one else asked about.

The feedback for not extending an offer was fair, and I think I even agreed with it actually.

And they were the only ones who gave me swag - and it was cool swag.

Looking back, it was one of the most professional experiences in my life. I will add, such experiences are not typical.
Sure. I never said that data models needn't ever be perfect from the jump or that having a perfect design from the beginning would always be required. It really depends on the data complexity, structure, and how it's used. The important thing is to really think about it first.
SEEKING WORK | USA, Eastern timezone | remote only | part-time

Technologies: Python, NumPy, Torch, C++, Linux

I specialize in speech and audio processing, but I'm open to a wide variety of back-end work. I like short-term or intermittent jobs, but would also consider longer-term.

I started as a developer in 2005, bringing to production and then maintaining and documenting a distributed entity resolution system in C++ and Python. I started working with speech and audio in 2013, primarily working solo on my own Web application for foreign language pronunciation learning, which you can try at https://accentlab.net . This involved developing the full stack, from collecting and cleaning speech data, to training my own custom acoustic models for pronunciation analysis in Python with NumPy and Torch, to learning Flask, Django, Bootstrap and JavaScript for the web interface, to user testing.

For freelancing, I prefer jobs involving speech or audio processing, but I'm open to a wide variety of tasks, primarily backend. Jobs I've particularly enjoyed include: a quick bounty for rooting out synchronization bugs in a large multithreaded C++ codebase; developing custom audio processing modules with SciPy's filter library; creating a speech keyword-spotting module for a telephone assistant using a pre-trained Kaldi model; training a custom classifier for music synthesizer samples.

Other jobs I've done include using APIs for HubSpot, Zoho, AdSense, etc.; helping businesses with bulk generation of PDFs; developing a cross-platform TkInter application.

I hope they do! A win is a win.
I am far from being a MS fan, but you cannot classify each bad decision from GitHub as coming from MS.
I'm not sure I understand how you come to the conclusion that a duopoly is worse than a monopoly
The white star is the exoplanet?
We do in Europe. It's the future.
That's definitely too black and white. Does it contain real data from him? Yes. Might it have been hardware he once owned? Also possible, but not proven. Was the data all his? As the text I quoted said, definitely not. Do a lot of people have an interest in making the Bidens look bad without regard to the truth? Definitely.

But none of that addresses my actual question, which is asking for evidence that it's a coverup.
I think you are right. I think the unknowns are, how tiny will the script be that commands all the cars into a lake and will it be a cloud hack or a local broadcast hack?
I think part of OP's point is that there would be tradeoffs. Reducing work hours by 1/5th will reduce work output by some large fraction of that. Companies would have to compensate for that by hiring more employees or reducing their products or services, either of which will tend to increase prices. Price increases or wage cuts would cause people who are in constrained financial situations to have to look for a 2nd job, thereby negating the effect of the policy. Sure things can change, but there are underlying realities which constrain how they can change.
I know some people have had good experiences with Carvana (especially when they already know what they want, and said car that is configured just-so is halfway across the country) - but I hate the idea of online shopping for the test-drive phase of car shopping. Seeing a panoramic view of the car's interior isn't enough, I need to feel it.

"Oh, don't worry, Carvana has a 7-day money back guarantee" - yeah, I don't want to have to unwind a major transaction just to test-drive a car. Especially if I'm trading in a car as part of the transaction - from what I've read if you trade in a car to Carvana and then decide to return the car you've purchased, they don't bring your old car back.

I wish there was a service where you could give them say a hundred bucks and they'd deliver maybe your top 5 cars to your house to poke around and test drive. The Zappos experience (they encourage people to order multiple sizes to try on and make the returns easy) but for cars instead of shoes.
I think it's especially valuable to try and be complete when doing a migration from a centralised VCS to a decentralised one; once you manage to migrate the repository once, you can then avoid any necessity to maintain servers for it.

In extreme, you could just distribute a tarball of the decentralised VCS, hence all you need is the ability to distribute a tarball, which is a lower bar than maintaining servers for it indefinitely.
People that can't wait 6+ months for a new car.
The Twitter whistleblower story is worse than you think
That's just the wise defensible argument that everyone should be making regardless of truthiness, but imagine that you think a restaurant sucks and should die. While it should be wrong to make false statements about businesses, it shouldn't be wrong to want a business to fail.

The motivation for improvement or helping other customers should not be the only safe motivations to have. It should not be considered inherently immoral or unsavory to want some businesses to fail.
It doesn't seem impossible, as long as we're not talking 100% perfect anonymity nor 100% verifiability.

Perhaps make users upload receipt dated within last x days, scratching out some details, and writing their username on it. It would take an admin all of 5 seconds to review and click approve, which would delete the receipt and allow the review through. Perhaps after x amount of verified reviews, just whitelisting the user. So at this point, your IP, username, and date of purchase are known to the review system, so not 100% anonymous.

Reviews without a receipt, or in waiting, are allowed but flagged as unverified or unsubstantiated. Probably allow them to be viewed, but not by default.

And of course, your typical spam preventions, review bombing deletion, etc.
I think OP meant it as a hypothetical. As in, if blackouts become a recurring event then a lot of people will solve it by throwing money at the problem. The issue is that diesel generator emissions are extremely harmful for the environment.
More than one decade ago was, at best, 2011. There were plenty of desktop apps back then. Most messengers were real desktop apps, then, for example.
I haven't looked at the GitHub API in a long time but I wonder if it would be possible for a 3rd party to replicate this functionality using the GitHub API.
Worth noting, I think, that California has the highest income tax rate in the country by a good margin and the 4th highest tax revenue per capita among states in 2021.
Thank you for reading!

(1) I haven't but I'm sure there are many blog posts covering methods to build enterprise products people want. With respect to this particular categorization, I haven't seen one. Ones I've seen usually tackle a single category. For example, they will talk about when bundling is the right choice vs not. Or how to make it easy for customers to buy a product via PLG, etc.

(2) I should add a list of references for articles that might have inspired this post. There wasn't any direct reference that I was building upon. Most of these ideas come from my observations as a user and now as a builder of these products.

(3) I am not, and would be interested to know more!

Bingo.

Jackson’s inept local government failed to fix a known issue because they didn’t want to raise taxes to risk re-election.

Now Federal taxpayers will be on the hook to bail them out. So… I guess mission succeeded?
you're atomizing the solution space by saying that workers must negotiate their conditions individually with their employers directly. that's not how this stuff has changed in the past and how we got to where the current status quo is with contracts. you're even repeating union busting talking points that are hardly settled ethics

I see this as a win-win for the following reasons:

1) People in California don't want people in Texas influencing their politics, and vice-versa.

2) The "Balkanization" of the U.S. will weaken the international influence of the U.S. empire, allowing developing nations and others to evade the grip of Western capitalists and neoliberalism, allowing them to pursue their own development path according to their material reality.

The unipolar world that merged on the post-Soviet international stage is dead. Stick a fork in it.
If you're getting free money from the federal government, it makes sense. Not sure I'd recommend it if spending your own money though.
Frankly, I'd prefer things like this. After the Zoom security issues came to light, I'd much prefer web apps over native apps, assuming the web apps can be made to be performant on Firefox. The fewer closed-source programs running on my computer, the better.
Ask HN: What is an example of a simple SaaS that is profitable in 2022?
Looking to get back into the (Micro-)SaaS game again, after taking a break for a couple of years. Back then not everything was oversaturated just yet, very basic services like:

- weather forecast based alerting
- distraction removers
- uptime checkers
- scheduling tools
- slack bots
- file converters
- social media filters

... and similar ideas still could be pulled off but I feel like this doesn't work anymore in 2022 because there are seventeen copies of every single thing nowadays.

What are some existing examples or potential ideas that come to your mind that could be pulled off the same way now, as they were back then, if started today?
Which issues have you experienced, or know about?
I find it strange that dealerships can be so scammy, and the manufacturer acts like it has no impact on how people view their brand.
I spent the following hour and a half after clicking on this on that site. Wow.

Being able to "experience" other locations, even in that shallow of a way, is really, really amazing.
I’m an admin for our organisation’s Microsoft 365 account and while I haven’t checked the notices recently, the tone of this is consistent with the “admin only notices” on the admin website.
counter opinion: forcing states to decide on abortion will turn the tide in democrats favor nationwide, creating a different sort of unification.

While in the short term overturning RvW looks awful, and has terrible consequences for people in the present, in the long term the states will one-by-one elect politicians which protect that right. Some of it will happen in the next election, but even more will happen as the consequences of all these unwanted babies becomes clearer to both the woman bearing them, and the men forced to pay child support.

The most common argument to my argument above is that some conservative states are deeply rooted in religion and wouldn't allow that. My counter to that is, you are discounting how many "pro-life republicans" have hypocritically obtained abortion while also railing against it. They will go to the voting booth and be just as hypocritical, likely criticizing in public the very same 'liberal' they voted for in private.

My crystal ball says it's tired now, till next time.

Yeah, but at the same time, who the hell would use nuxt/next for the type of site that is perfectly usable without js.
I agree. It's why Carmax did well even pre-internet delivery companies. Were they the cheapest? No, but the prices were fine, you could shop online, and no one did any hard sales job.
Yes it seems like if we are able to destroy the moon, then we will be able to do a lot else fairly efficiently (asteroid capture and mining, for example), and moon mining will be something we choose not to do for preservation's sake.
The buying experience really varies depending on what end of the market you're at. A high volume Honda dealer will almost certainly have a very different buying experience than a low volume corner buy-here-pay-here lot, and a different revenue model. The former often won't haggle with you, and the latter is trying to pay their bills via margin off a small number of purchases by customers who don't have much ability to shop around.
...Yes. If you kill the people attacking the sensitive site, they will be unable to attack the sensitive site on account of being dead.

A thousand man force is a battalion. The cartels have no real armor and no air support. No heavy weapons. No training.

The US Army fields 31 brigades. A brigade is 5 battalions.

For every cartel member in your theoretical force, there are ~149 trained, armed, active duty service members in deployable condition for combat roles.

That doesn't include artillery, sustainment, the US Airforce or the US Navy. I am also not including guard teams which are another 27 brigades.

Your theoretical cartel force would also have to go through the Texas State Guard (1,700 people) and US Border Patrol.
