File size is always an issue when downloading such big content, so we always produce each Wikipedia file in three flavours:

Mini: only the introduction of each article, plus the infobox. Saves about 95% of space vs. the full version.
nopic: full articles, but no images. About 75% smaller than the full version
Maxi: the default full version.
Yeah, this feels dangerously close to claiming a woman's body is counting the months/days before they deliver a baby.

And, to be fair, I think the actual research was more about modeling how it works. Not claiming that they count, per se.

That is, just because you can model something mathematically, does not mean that the thing being modeled is the same as doing the math. Falling is not the same as calculating an equation, as it were.
As the article itself says, electric will be fine for shorter flights, up to 200-250 miles, and up to 30 passengers. Cheaper than fueled.

So the "hub-and-spoke" model of airports may be overlaid with a "dense mesh" of airfields.

As I understand it, the bottleneck is the FAA. They are swamped with applications for type approvals. So much so that at least one company opted to develop a hydroplane instead of a land-based electric plane.

What do you mean by web solution? Go ecosystem is mature in that field and it's very easy to deploy.
I’m confused. I don’t know how long it’s been around, but I was introduced to this document when I got into Web programming 5-6 years ago. It explicitly states as one of the main goals, ”- (Is) suitable for deployment on modern cloud platforms, obviating the need for servers and systems administration;”.

I’m not familiar with all the authors, but they also say they came to these conclusions while developing on Heroku/ developing the platform itself. One of the earliest & biggest players in the ‘edge’ software market.

Can you elaborate on why you said “you don’t need edge”, when these ideas were intuited by folks creating apps on the edge? Because the way I’m reading it. It seems that this is a methodology perfectly suited (if not designed) for the edge?

I tend to agree with the article, that edge is the ‘future’. It might not be next month, or next year. But 5 years from now? It certainly seems to be trending in that direction. And for good reason I think.

Don’t get me wrong, I love nerding out with an Ubuntu server, configuring everything, and making my app run on the internet by hand. But dang if it isn’t a lot of work. Most hobby projects I start nowadays, I start from a simple static site approach, keeping in mind I’ll need to progress to more complexity/layers as need be, and throw it up on Netlify or Cloudflare Pages. It’s so efficient, it’s hard for me to imagine starting off a personal project any other way now.
Exploitation means voluntary; with the best choice, or a fair choice, not being available. For example, monopsonys in hiring exploit their position, whether they created it or not. You can change career or location to escape them; but many decide to go with being exploited instead of starting over.

The ethical are exploited in many ways. Always have been (since nomad days, anyway.)
This setup is good if you are only serving people in a single continent. The TCP handshake with someone half way across the world is still going to eat all of your latency. You can’t beat the speed of light.
There is no liquidity crisis in the blockchain itself. These crises always happen to custodians which is some kind of newspeak for banks.

The fact is all of these exchanges and most of these crypto corporations are actually unregulated centralized banks in disguise. They're sitting on massive amounts of money in the form of customer deposits and you better believe they're gonna be leveraging as much of it as possible. Meanwhile everybody's accounts are showing the deposits as if all their money wasn't tied up in the bank's own investments. Someone screws up, risks a little too much and gets liquidated or called or something? Money's gone, the bank owes customers more money than it has, people notice and try to withdraw all the money all at once, the bank runs start and the liquidity crises set in.

Fractional reserve banking is at the root of this problem. You literally cannot have these issues without banks.
I wish one could create new articles in Kiwix’s zim files. Right now, Kiwix is basically a Wikipedia reader. Editing features would be very nice for local wikis to develop, and later on — maybe — to have such local article editions merged into the main Wikipedia, perhaps similar to how git works.
In countries where labor laws are strong working more than 40 hours a week in a salaried role is not common. And when there is overtime, it’s often taken in lieu and expected that you get those hours back out of your regular day.

If you have a position that requires more than 40 hours a week regularly, do the math on your hourly rate, and look at hour its affecting your health. If you’re under 25 you’ll probably get away with it, if not the second order impacts on your life are not insignificant, and can make you less productive.
So many shills in the "opensource" and "freedom" Linux community. Harp all day long about how "freedom" yet cry and troll when developers don't support a Linux distro and troll all day about getting others to convert to Linux or specific Linux distro.

If you're for "freedom" software then live and let live what others use for operating systems.
I'm in France and HN is almost always very responsive to me. I think one of the reasons why HN doesn't need to be "on the edge" as much as other applications is that servers roundtrips are relatively rare as it's more of a website, compared to web applications. To reply to you I clicked "reply", I'll click it again to post, but that's two interactions with the server in the time it takes me to write this post. If you're on an application that has to do rountrips to the server for each interactions, it could be useful to be on the edge, I think.

The story reminds me of the so-called 80/20 rule.

> Microsoft noted that by fixing the top 20% of the most-reported bugs, 80% of the related errors and crashes in a given system would be eliminated. Lowell Arthur expressed that "20% of the code has 80% of the errors. Find them, fix them!"

More relevant part:

> It was also discovered that, in general, 80% of a piece of software can be written in 20% of the total allocated time. Conversely, the hardest 20% of the code takes 80% of the time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle#In_computing

It sounds like you were often stuck with the toughest 20% which actually took 80% of the effort. I also heard that of that 20%, there's another level of 80/20, where a further 20% takes 80% of the rest of the effort, and so on.

Anyway, I hope you find a better situation!
Using something like Coder to provision workspaces and VS Code, SSH, and Wireguard/Tailscale are an absolute dream.

I hope for many in these comments to experience this (especially Coder V2 which is far more flexible in provisioning workspaces) instead of the RDP non-sense that others need to suffer through.

While Parsec is good (and Nvidia GameSteam + Moonlight seems better in my experience) it really isn't good enough to use instead.

Also, honestly, with the advent of things like Tailscale I think it'll become more and more common to have a desktop + a nice, but weaker/cheaper device (Chromebook, MBA, etc.) that you can securely access at your desk or remotely if you want. It's what I personally do with my Desktop and M1 MBA right now.

Also want to add that dedicated servers aren't that expensive by comparison and you can get a lot of value paying like $100/month and using that remotely.

I realise now we're talking at cross-purposes. I'm not talking about population growth, which is not really relevant to the problems at hand - ecosystems are being crashed in regions without increasing populations. Population increase is an orthogonal, and largely solved, issue. Population control (from infanticide, to surgical, to herbal and chemical) has been the human norm for many thousands of years in many populations.

What's distinctive about capitalism, and what makes it a physically impossible system to maintain long-term, is its central conception of economic (ie. fake) "growth". Capitalism collapses without it, yet 'it' (described as a physical system) just is the dismantling of ecosystems. Any political economy might cause ecosystem damage; capitalism must, always.

To put it in the strongest possible way: a population of capitalists fixed as a steady-state population of 1,000, would eventually (perhaps in a few millennia) destroy all ecosystems on the planet. Economic "growth" (ie. the conversion of complex evolved circular living systems into simple input-demanding technological non-living ones) leads there, ineluctably.

> I really doubt that’s something people want to return to.

Political punditry again. None of what I'm suggesting has anything to do with what anyone 'wants'. It's what's physically possible. Capitalism is incompatible with the long-term health of ecosystems (because its 'growth' is identical with their dismantling). Capitalism is an activity of humans. Humans are mammals, which depend on healthy ecosystems. Therefore capitalism will not continue (regardless of what anyone thinks they 'want').

> the evidence is rather strong that we are wired to reproduce as much as possible through natural selection

Yet population control is one of the great human universals, and is chosen by many, perhaps most, populations when the option is there (and remember, what removes the option is generally culture, or lack of communal provision for old age).

> we are wired to seek high social status

This may be true (though the evidence is nowhere near sufficient to merit a bluff term like 'wired'). But what confers social status is utterly cultural and plastic. Social status can be conferred by age, or cattle, or kindness, or kids, or palaces, or wisdom, or beauty, or emotional continence, or the gift of the gab (and has taken all of these forms, in real societies). It has no inherent nature. Thinking of human nature is fixed to what we know of our local culture is a strong feature of those in empires, because they become so insulated from the huge range of real human variations that have existed.

A decade ago, the father of my kid's friend ran a PE firm and I'll never forget the day at lunch when he laughingly mocked how the lifelong employees of the large ($50M/y revenue) family business he was gutting were "whining" about having their healthcare plan cut (not scaled back -- just eliminated). Evil SOB.
It's extremely taxing to do more than about 6 hours of real, actual work a day, so any extra hours are almost necessarily spent in less taxing activities like meetings etc.
I actually live in Hong Kong and don't have a car and that has nothing to do with buses. Everything is within walking distance. Within 5 blocks of my apartment off the top of my head I can think of 4-5 grocery stores, 3-4 butcher shops, a wet market, 3-4 vegetable stands, 3-4 different dentist offices, several different daycares / pre-schools, at least 2 gyms, a public pool, about a dozen hair salons / barbers, dozens of restaurants and bars, and on and on. There is literally nothing I need on a daily basis that I couldn't walk to. I almost never take the bus anywhere.

If you had to commute regularly from, say the New Territories in to Central (about as far as you can go in HK), the bus/MTR takes 2-3 times as long as driving.
Individuals buy water from their municipality, which is free to reallocate and reprice at that level. However, the municipality can pay market rates at the wholesale level, where water rights are currently a concern. Is there some business with an unquenchable thirst for water that will pay absurd prices per gallon that a municipality wouldn't comfortably match on average? And isn't the status quo much worse where those businesses basically get the water without paying?

It really depends where you end up.

The popular and/or well situated places tend to not give a shit, because what will you do? You're just one of a thousand customers waiting to get there, so screw you.

More standard places however, tend to be like any other places I witnessed in Europe, i.e. filled with run-of-the-mill merchants happy to get business.

Which explain the difference of experience between Parisians and tourists: the latter are (rightfully) shocked by prices and service in the shitty tourist trap on rue de Rivoli or Montmartre, which absolutely does not reflect the experience of the former in the little Georgian restaurant or their favorite bistro three streets down their flat.
Thats exactly right, except at least you don't get people walking around saying the sharpen filter "shows you reality like it really is" or "elevates your state of consciousness."

Biden admin has been making a lot of symbolically valuable half-measure gestures. If substantive change follows on each, he could be the greatest president since FDR. Or, he could lose re-election and we're left with a bunch of impotent symbols that are gradually undone.

I'm still cynical, but slightly more optimistic today.
Doesn't seem compatible with the idea of "two-party preferred" voting which is what's actually used in practice here, though I'm not 100% clear as to whether that's explicitly different to preferential voting/RCV.

Leans to the right? Try "rushes headlong" and it's well known outside of NYC too. I was actually with the author until they brought up critical race theory. There's a lot of debate to be had about whether the fault here should lie with the professor or the students. My general opinion is that if everyone is doing poorly it's the professor's fault, and after reading the Reddit thread I see nothing to justify an exception here. And none of this has anything to do with critical race theory or any other right wing dog-whistle. Also, since when did right-wingers care about higher education? I suspect most of them are cheering the reputational damage to NYU. The false shows of concern about the future of higher ed are just about as transparent as it's possible for them to be.

Right, but the suggestion wasn't "have a short consult with a lawyer". That's not cheap, but definitely won't break the bank for most small businesses.

The suggestion was "hire a legal representative" to be the corporate witness. I would assume that's a suggestion similar to the one in this article (https://www.agilelaw.com/blog/hiring-a-lawyer-to-be-your-30b...) about hiring a lawyer to be your 30(b)(6) deponent.

So, let's assume we hire a lawyer at $300/hour. Let's say they'll be a witness for 6 hours. But, they need to be carefully briefed and prepped on all the topics that they would need to be a witness for. Maybe that's 40 hours of work.

46*$300 = $13,800.

As the article on 30(b)(6) depositions notes: "So to do it right, the lawyer will need to be thoroughly prepped on the 30(b)(6) notice topics, which will certainly take time and cost the client money. No one said litigation is cheap."

I think most small-businesses would probably choose to use an internal employee to be their corporate representatives, especially in a matter such as this where they aren't directly involved in the litigation.

It's not replacing the money that gets spent on cars. People buying a new car are buying it because they need it now, they need to get around today, not in 10 years when the new train gets built. They're still going to buy the car and then have to pay the tax to build the transit on top of that.

Yeah. Decay heat is still an issue but MSRs are inherently able to handle it without the need for active circulation. Plus if shit hits the fan like I said you can drain it out just with gravity into a configuration that is inherently unable to continue fissioning without the need for reactivity control. So, no need for active circulation pumps nor a reliance on the ability to ram in control rods... plus you don't have to worry about hydrogen buildup either.

Here's an ancient example from 2013:

https://www.denverpost.com/2013/08/29/federal-government-won...

> Deputy U.S. Attorney General James Cole wrote in a memo sent Thursday to federal prosecutors that it will not be a priority to block landmark marijuana-legalization laws in the two states. The federal government also will not make it a priority to close down recreational marijuana stores, so long as the stores abide by state regulations, according to the memo.

The Attorney General de-prioritizing a crime sounds like a cop-out, but eliminating the incentive for federal agents to chase down a type of crime means those agents effectively won't enforce those laws...because they'll get dinged for wasting time that should be spent on actual priorities.

Here's an example of how the federal restriction can still be a pain to Colorado pot stores:

> Because pot is still illegal federally, banks will likely continue to refuse marijuana business accounts, employers can continue to fire workers who smoke pot off-the-job and marijuana users who receive federal aid or live in federal housing will remain at risk.

IIRC, it wasn't at all uncommon for state residents to think that they could smoke worry free b/c of state legalization, only to realize too late that their employer technically receives federal aid and now had the right to fire them. And even if the the U.S. Attorney General says "nah we probably won't care about that"...a lot of employers are going to err on the side of caution.

Since Biden said that he's directed the government to look into things that are on the path to legalization, that mentality is likely to trickle down to every part of the government. Private employers might still be anal though.
