I don't have an equation on hand to compare costs given a COP but I'm not even seeing any heat pumps that work down to -30F. That's kind of a no go in my area. The record low is -48F
Europe has a huge financial sector in London. They are not just landlords. They aren't lacking money to invest in risky businesses.
I have no idea who Keffels is, and I've never posted on KF, but I've freely used it for research on more than one occasion, and I honestly appreciated the fact that there was a resource like it where the crimes, lies, and other misdeeds of minor internet personalities were extensively documented. Stuff like a streamer who ran a crowd funding cash-grab scam, or another one who PM'd underage followers inappropriately. This is dirty laundry these people don't want aired, and since reddit has largely killed independent forums, and the official reddits these people maintain are all heavily censored, and since these people aren't quite noteworthy enough for the MSM to hold them to account, KF was, for better or worse, often the only place you could go to get the "dirt" on them.

Which calls into question the popular characterization of KF as a "troll site." Trolls will readily lie or fabricate to cause outrage and chaos. Is that an accurate characterization of KF? From my experience lurking there, the non-editorial, purportedly factual content on it (not the opinion or speculation) was completely accurate. They would not post stuff they knew to be false.
> SQL is around since the dawn of relational database

There was a decent amount of competition back then, though. It seems the industry eventually settled on SQL to be compatible with Oracle's dominance. Postgres didn't gain SQL support until about a decade in.
I also suspect their builds have no good reproducibility tests.
Capability Based Security - No, you really don't know what it is (like Java/Javascript, there's confusion.. it's not Windows Vista UAC, nor the flags for apps on your phone, not even AppArmor or SElinux)

Currently, when you start your favorite GUI based editor, and tell it to open a file, it calls on the OS to present a dialog box, who chooses file(s), those names are then passed back to the editor. The editor then uses the users permission to open the file(s), and allow you to edit your data. Note that there is NOTHING stopping the program from getting confused or malicious and opening any arbitrary file using that user's account.

The exact same workflow happens in a Capabilities based OS, except the names of the parts and constraints (that you don't see) are different. It works exactly the same, as far as the user is concerned.

Instead of calling on the OS to present a dialog, then directly accessing the files, the program calls the OS to present a PowerBox to the user, and it returns capabilities to files or folders, the program has NO access to any other folders or files. No matter how confused or rogue the editor can not corrupt anything outside of the objects specifically chosen by the user.
I agree that Ukraine wanted to join NATO, but that isn't the same thing as that aim being likely to be realised. Putin's calculus is his own to know and I don't think his claims about why he does things can be taken at face value
I agree that making our planet livable is certainly much more important and we are very bad at that. But I don't see that researching livability on Mars makes us less likely to succeed on Earth. On the contrary, researching Mars livability probably has some probability of producing breakthroughs that could help us overcome our problems here.

KeePass looks nice. Currently I'm using pass but I will investigate KeyPass either as a recommendation for others or possible alternative to my current solution.

I set up pass (on Linux and Mac, using brew) with two GPG keypairs, a soft keypair and a YubiKey. The YubiKey goes in a physical safe along with instructions for next of kin (and as an ultimate backup for me). YubiKey is protected with PIN.

For daily use, use the soft GPG key and gpg-agent to cache it. PassFF on Firefox (or see github passforios for iOS) or command-line tools (easily can build hooks with dmenu/rofi as well).

pass stores the gpg-encrypted passwords in a Git repository. Set up a private remote repository and push to it for offsite backup. There is some leakage of info as the names of the sites become the filename, e.g., ycombinator.gpg. This can be mitigated with some plugins like tomb, but then PassFF and passforios won't work.
Man, the FSF and the GNU project need a new refresh and new blood in them ASAP.

The underlying issue is government preventing development of both houses and office space. If you were to build more housing in any capacity that would risk lowering housing values and people (including politicians) would lose tens or even hundreds of millions in assets. This would be incredibly unpopular and won't happen anytime soon

Agreed. This sounds like the kind of thing I'd like to fill my Tuesday evening with, but had to refer to the instructions from the kind commenter below to install packages to build the LaTeX file since my Texmaker refused point-blank to have anything to do with it.

Of course it's Linux only, so means using WSL on my Windows laptop.

Managed to open the file, no instructions whatsoever for finding a compiler other than 'get the GCC one'. Okay. Found the mirror, downloaded it and just now reading the installation manual. Yes, it's a manual, basically. Two dozen prerequisite packages to install by hand before I do anything else.

It's guaranteed not to work on WSL so I'll have to spend an hour or two just getting a compiler up and running, that's assuming it works at all and I don't just have to fire up a Debian VM and start again.

I get C is hard, and is supposed to be hard, but it's like GNU are going out of their way to make this intentionally more difficult than it needs to be.
I mean... it does exist now, and I don't advocate taking it out since people have probably come to rely on it for some reason. Defaults matter, though, and I suspect[0] that a minority want this default.

Turns out prices have to go down when the fed doubles rates. By my math, a 30% correction is needed to make up the difference in terms of monthly affordability - meaning a $500k house at 6% is the same as a $750k house at 3%.
If history has taught us anything it is this - As long as there is money to be made people will literally destroy anything to get it.
no, that's exactly what I was talking about in the first reply, i just reiterated it, because your reply wasn't taking any of that into account.
Let's take that at face value "Ukraine becoming a NATO member". How does a war stop them from becoming a NATO member? Russia can not occupy Ukraine - they don't have the manpower for that.

What's the end game? What's the goals of the war? How does an invasion, that has to end at some point, stop Ukraine from joining NATO?

Even if Ukraine looses, Russia has no ability to force them to do anything. Russia wins - and then what?
Sounds like a maintenance/snow removal nightmare compared to a natural gas boiler for hydronic heat that just works. I'd need space for a huge natural gas backup generator too.
See my other comments addressing your point. And I of course agree, to some extent this backfired. But I am not sure that Russia would not still consider this a win overall. Not all neighbors are equal if you take things like geography into account, so I would not rule out the possibility that Sweden and Finnland were factored in.
Maybe SF should relax the legal requirements of residential space, then?

If they choose not to build sufficient housing... they can at least choose to use what they have.

A windowless room with a community bathroom doesn't sound appealing, but at a certain price point it's better than nothing.
It's not a moot point. Let's say I post child porn on facebook. A cop sees it and I get arrested immediately. Is the post going to magically get taken down? Can cops force me to log into facebook and delete a post? Whatever communication process there is between a cop and facebook, perhaps mediated by a judge, will take some time. In that time, a moderator may have also seen the content, but they aren't allowed to take it down in the proposed system, at least without the appeals going through. The moderator has no idea the person who posted it was arrested - how would they?

And, maybe the child porn isn't actually child porn. Maybe it is totally legal, consenting adults having sex on video, but the adult just looks like a child. Yes, this has actually happened (article in Spanish): https://archive.ph/20140811233956/http://www.eldia.com.ar/ed...

The porn star had to travel to the court to testify that she was 19 during the filming of the scene, otherwise the person may have received 20 years in jail for possessing "child porn". Posting that video on facebook wouldn't be illegal, it would just be against the ToS.

We live in a democracy. The underlying problem of government is voters.

Most home owners (especially in The Bay) refuse to allow anyone to build anything because they see that as a threat to their home value.
Ask HN: How do you deal with religious references at work?
I work on a team where one of the members often references their religions writings and teachings - how do you deal with that on a team mostly made up of atheists and agnostics? I respect their ability to believe what they want, but I don't agree with the teachings themself and have no interest in reading their writings.
It's a bit more complicated than that because Ukraine looked into joining NATO in the early 00s, reversed course and was (at least officially) neutral until 2014 when Russia invaded Crimea and Donbas. December 2014 they restarted plans to join NATO.

Realistically, Ukraine was left with the choice of slowly losing territory to Russia, or joining NATO.
The great thing is that when it becomes part of the toolchain it will also be available for the latest version of go as it is released.

Right now veracode is stuck at go 1.17 support - maybe this will also help being up to date for such vendors more easily
Modern office buildings only have plumbing available in the center of the building. The flooring is designed to function as a highly efficient membrane. If you start punching holes in the flooring to place plumbing and toilets away from the central core you weaken the floor membrane to the point where it loses the required structural integrity. If you try to build raised flooring to provide space for the plumbing the cost of the raised flooring becomes prohibitive.

For most large modern office buildings it is cheaper to take them down and build new than to try to retrofit them for residential use.

> Isn't this just the definition of the word extreme?

Nope.

Consider, say, this chart of adult male height (no idea if it's actually accurate, that's not really the point): https://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ip4sMYv438c/TRjMhUlQczI/AAAAAAAAA...

The majority are around 5'7" - 5'10".

"Extreme" would be the tail ends, say <5'1" or >6'3".

There's a fair bit between those, that is neither part of the majority nor extreme.

I didn’t realize Xeon had improved that much but his point still stands as threadripper has 128 lanes. AMD is better at the moment.
Here's some evidence: if you fart in an elevator, it stinks, but if you fart outdoors, not so much.

Viruses, as opposed to farts, don't smell, but otherwise they are similar. If someone coughs outdoors, the aerosols containing the viral particles just spread around and soon their concentration becomes negligible. If someone coughs, or just breathes indoors, the aerosols spread, but if the space is not very large, their concentration will stay elevated, enough to infect other people.

With this preamble out of the way, what is the hypothetical scenario where the pandemic starts in the market? Covid does not spread from dead meat, it's an airborne disease. Was there some live bat (or pangolin) that was sneezing in some enclosed space, and some people acquired the virus there? A google search shows links with evidence to the contrary ([1], [2]).

Here's and NY Times article [3] that's arguing for the non-lab-leak origin, but you'll notice they are using misdirection (e.g. "dozens of species that can carry pathogens that infect humans" -> ok, this says nothing specific about Covid, but is written to prime the reader to think Covid was among those pathogens).

Overall, the simplest explanation is that one lab worker acquired the disease from aerosols in the lab produced by the lab mice infected with the virus. The worker then left the lab and stopped here and there (home too) and left aerosols that some other people inhaled. Whenever it was outdoors, the aerosols did not cause infections, but sometimes when it was indoors, they did. Is it possible that that person went to the market nearby to have lunch or dinner and coughed or sneezed while indoors, and some of the market workers, or co-diners got infected? It does not sound outrageous.

You can envision tons of plausible scenarios with an initial lab worker getting infected, but you need to get into contorted scenarios to cook up a theory where some bats from a few thousand kilometers away get transported to Wuhan and fail to infect anyone on their way, then the disease explodes like a bomb in Wohan, and then nobody is able to find evidence of those live bats being sold in that market.

And the chat app, and the email app, and the social media app (other opinions about social media notwithstanding). I think each of these things have their own legitimate use for notifications.

I guess it's the point of "weakening a primary advantage". I don't see how it's weakened (or rather, I don't see how it's a problem) when the notifications are on a per site permission. Especially so when the notifications can be turned off completely per browser.

> Re: sound, "Triggered as the result of a user action" is not a high enough bar.

I'm with you on this. Although it took until this thread for me to realize that sound at all should be a permission.
Alternatively, it has to be manufactured on Mars with materials available there. That is much more tenable.

By the way, hydrolox is not dinosaur juice. Methane would be but insufficient specific impulse is a problem.
> electricity sources for heating

Weird question. You're looking for "carbon intensity", the CO2 emitted per kWh: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1133295/electric-sector-...

> percentage of emissions coming from home heating via natural gas vs coal-originating electric heaters

Surely you mean relative emissions, not percent. Natural gas creates 53 kg of CO2 per mmBTU. A good heat pump (for instance: https://www.fujitsu-general.com/us/products/vrf/j4/aou60rlav...) has a COP of 3.6+, meaning 3.6 kWh of heat per kWh of electricity. Alternately, 81.4+ kWh per mmBTU.

Any state with a carbon intensity below 1,435 lbs CO2 per MWh will emit less CO2 using a heat pump rather than natural gas. Six states have higher carbon intensities: Utah, Indiana, Missouri, Wyoming, Kentucky and West Virginia.

In the state with the lowest carbon intensity, Washington, 1 mmBTU of natural gas will emit 7.21x as much CO2 as 1 mmBTU from a heat pump.

> efficiency of progress over the years, expected trajectory

Heat pumps are already half the price of gas heating, per BTU. The carbon intensity in those 6 states will rapidly decrease as natural gas outcompetes coal. In 5 years it's likely every state will have <1435 carbon intensity.
I can't wait. Could use some downward pressure on commercial real estate so that we can get good startup-sized offices here. Not seeing any big movement on loopnet yet.
Stupid question --- How to obtain it and how to redeem any "value" as currency? At what cost?

"Value" is non-existant without a simple, effective means of utilization. Leaving this to others will most likely result in fees similar to any other crypto --- and limit the stated "value" proposition.
Don't forget all the free needle "exchange" subsidy programs https://endhepcsf.org/san-francisco-needle-exchange-schedule.... Crazy how amped even the homeless are about getting their covid boosters
> CO2 and other greenhouse gases are pollutants

As an aside, that is going to have some weird unforeseen effects at low levels because it means that almost every car and every dwelling or heated structure emits "pollutants" and there's god knows how many other laws that they therefore become subject to.
Yep, there's a reason I have Blackmagic quad 4K capture cards in my workstation. Syncing multiple video streams with USB capture cards would be nigh impossible even if you put them on separate USB controllers. Ingest over USB is fine (though slow) but pretty much every USB capture card does its own internal compression, as you point out, and then involves the CPU to decompress it and get it into VRAM or DRAM.
I'm getting a blank screen on Firefox for Android :(
I had a relevant thought just the other day: why do our chat apps (sms, wechat, etc) need the ability to message someone without first meeting face to face? Maybe just use a QR code you scan from their phone and that’s it. If anyone gets your phone number they can send you unwanted spam because it’s “push”
This looks like a really good idea for solving that pain point
Can't you deal with it the same way you'd deal with someone frequently referencing their favourite author or their personal blog?
we did? I was a programmer 30 years ago, and what was being widely used was cobol, qbasic, pascal, even ada, meanwhile assembly was already at this point relegated to optimization (in non-business applications) or nothing (in business applications, where structured programming was a line manager's mantra, just like OOP was later, then FP, and so on)
If you're determined to fail, you will. Believe it is called learned helplessness.

I think you have the ordering of 2014 backwards. It wasn't until December that Ukraine resumed their plans for joining NATO and was arguably a response to Russian activity in Donbas and Crimea.
> but I think it make sense to question the motivation in this instance.

By this logic it's equally valid to question the motivation of someone hand waving the questions away as "copy pasta" rather than just answering them. The Socratic method is a perfectly valid way to further an argument.
