The budget for just the MTA in NYC is 18 billion / year and that’s really only for the ongoing costs. A 100 billion investment in public transportation over the entire US over 10 years once wouldn’t have done shit.

A fleet of self driving cars are realistically the only scalable public transportation because the costs increase with the number of people not the area to be served. Do people just forget how unbelievably spread out everything but the densest cities are? 24/7 bus service to within 0.5 miles of every house in my city is already impossible even if you allowed them to be on the every 4 hour. To replace cars people would realistically need them on the hour and want on the 20 minutes. Bet you my shirt at that point it would just be cheaper for the city to just run a free taxi service.

Yes; and deeper still, unsound money causing business uncertainty (can I afford to hire?), inflation (can I afford to change jobs?), and fake wealth (why work if the government is creating cash to pay me not to?).

It’s going to be difficult to reach a healthy equilibrium between labor and capital until money is fixed.
Fertility is below replacement level outside Africa. Due to demographics workers will be scarce. Covid and associated lockdowns also shrank the workforce.
My experience is that requirements are almost orthogonal to what stack will be chosen. CTO going to a conference, tech lead being bored, founder having a friend who knows "shit", developers padding resume and so own impact the choice way more than actual requirements. 99.999% of the projects can be done using any mature lang + PostgreSQL or PostgreSQL compatible newSQL variant.
Musk is exchanging some assets and liabilities for other assets, leaving him with a similar balance sheet afterwards. That's not the same thing as "spending" money the way you and I do it.
Depends on the details. For land use, as I said in my other comments, the energy density is a red herring — the mass (and the area) aren't what we're limited by anyway.

For transport, the limits depend on the nature of the transport. Cars are fine with LiIon; aircraft can be fine with LiIon for a few hundred miles but not thousands; hydrogen from electrolysis can power aircraft or rockets but are a bad choice for submarines; PV in a spacecraft means an ion drive and not a launch, the higher specific impulse doesn't make up for the lower absolute thrust in that scenario; nuclear spacecraft would be great except everyone's terrified of it.

But none of this matters either way with the power grid.
In the US, internships have a legal status under employment law.

Companies may legally have unpaid interns on staff.

But internships must be part of a credentialed academic program.

Otherwise, minimum wage laws apply and having unpaid staff is a violation of labor law.

For context though, the US has a very accessible system of higher education via community/junior colleges.

Also for context, the ability to work unpaid in a professional setting has always had a strong correlation with class. It is also alive and well within creative fields despite its illegality.

Yes the world is full of gatekeepers, if you want an internship you've bought into that system.

Good luck.

In the case of porn this is not much of an issue, but the fact that these companies have that kind if power I find really scary. As stated in the article Apple (and Google too one would think) have the power to shut down many businesses for whatever reason they see fit.

This isn't an electricity solution, they are asserting that ~27% of global energy consumption is for industrial heating, which is a more straightforward use case for hot bricks.

edit: I misspoke, 27% of greenhouse gas emissions are asserted to be from industrial heating applications, not 27% of energy use.

A “root server” was a pre-cloud term for a rented server you had root on vs a mortal user account. The latter was typically for hosting a canned LAMP. Basically your own VM or physical instead of a user on a shared machine or a limited-use VM.

There’s a bunch of these comments. What would a disposable root DNS server mean? Stand up a DNS server and just claim authority for .?

You could do that here fine I imagine. You have root. Until you log out, of course.

If you can install stuff and listen on 53, you could make your own private DNS tree anywhere.

Now, managing delegations will get weird if you want to delegate outside of what you manage. I’m seeing a spiderweb of stub zones.
This pretty much. Building public infrastructure is insanely expensive and there are capacity limits that can't easily be solved. We need to add public transport to the mix that 1) doesn't require heavy additional investment in infrastructure and 2) solves convenience concerns that make buses unappealing and 3) can reliably replace privately owned vehicles.
Indeed, and I think you’re quietly pointing at the nub of the problem: if you like in a major city or sufficiently close to one of its public transport ‘spokes’, and you want to travel to somewhere also covered in a similar manner (be that short- or long-distance) public transport is usually somewhere between great and acceptable. As soon as you fall outside that usability window, it often becomes close to unusable.

(One exception: local countryside bud services can sometimes be really valuable for local travel; but they often don’t link well with other public transport modalities, IME.)
And I answered to that already on my second paragraph.

Taking the nuclear option after merely "seeing [something] as" risky without exhausting the much-cheaper remaining options is not "somewhat understandable, if not plain reasonable". And it's not "ways and quirks": it's incompetence at best or corruption at worst.

This kind of situation might be common, but it is not understandable nor reasonable.
I think “where heating is required” is the key caveat.

This is basically going back to the old way of heating homes: When energy is cheap, heat a giant thermal mass. When energy is expensive, leach the heat to other areas where it’s needed.

In the old days this would be a giant brick or clay stove that would heat up during the day (when people are awake to tend the fire) and radiate heat to keep the building warm through the night.

I’m the modern version it’s likely steam pipes heated by the mass that bring the heat to wherever it’s useful (whether that’s an industrial kiln or a home’s radiators). That cycle can be extremely efficient, but you obviously only get heat, not electricity.

It’s probably a good thing to do in some contexts but if I understand it right I’m not sure I’d call it innovative.

Ask HN: Are Whois Abuse Reports Useful?
Is it worth the time and effort to email the Whois abuse contacts when an IP is probing a web server? I see a lot of probes from IPs assigned to US companies such as Microsoft, Amazon and Google. They fill up my access logs with noise that costs money to store and takes time to deal with.

Is it worth my time to email these abuse contacts and ask them to stop? Should I just ignore it? Should I block the IPs?

Thanks for any advice.

it’s fashionable to make the case against tech by arguing the privacy angle. i sometimes wish we could raise the discussion one level of abstraction and speak about control more broadly (privacy being the control over which information you make public). you can make this app as private as you want, but i’d still be upset that its mandatory use is contradictory to my desire for agency.
It's easy to implement through regulation, just pass a law that says it costs peanuts. But this easily results in shortages (if production is unsubsidized) or tax hikes / lower living standards (if production or import is subsidized using money that could be spent elsewhere).
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has released its early estimate of traffic fatalities for 2021. NHTSA projects that an estimated 42,915 people died in motor vehicle traffic crashes last year, a 10.5% increase from the 38,824 fatalities in 2020. The projection is the highest number of fatalities since 2005 and the largest annual percentage increase in the Fatality Analysis Reporting System’s history. Behind each of these numbers is a life tragically lost, and a family left behind.

I think the difference with Theranos is that most of us were genuinely surprised and shocked when it all started to unravel to the extent that it did.

With Nikola, there were plenty of skeptics right from the start. The only surprise what that it went on for as long as it did, and that the stock price kept going up even after much of their deception was exposed.
It's really bizarre that people are treating autonomous EVs as somehow pitted against transit.

The core of public transit is having a monopoly on local service and using profitable routes to subsidize unprofitable ones for the benefit of the public.

Transit agencies don't build their own vehicles, they buy them and operate them. Having the option to buy autonomous EVs does not change the core of public transit, but it does give them the ability to save on operations, run more routes, more frequent service, use a different mix of vehicles for their fleet, etc.

Replacing one 50 seat $500,000 bus with 5 $100,000 10 seat vans that cost a fraction to operate will make public transit far better than it is today.

> A bored developer is an unhappy developer. Unhappy developers leave.

Software development is the only profession where people expect (and demand) to have fun at work. The official ways of this society is that fun is what your free time is for, and work is for getting things done and make money. Why is this different for software development?

Why do people think they can "play with new technologies" at work, which is wasting not only company money, but other people's time as well? It's so incredibly unprofessional, maybe it's time for software developers to grow up and start acting like adults in the workplace?

The Rent Revolution Is Coming
At the time I'm thinking of, late 90's, python, which had a decent std library, was easily installable, but SRC m3 definitely wasn't - at least on a cheap student sized machine. I seem to recall that he successor projects like CM3 tried to produce pared down versions. All this of course pales into insignificance against the amount of crap something like Android Studio downloads today to build a trivial app. But at the time, I think it was a lot. The HD I went to uni with was only 40MB, for example.
I would have to argue that while community is a huge part (a lot of trades get done over IB), the biggest advantage is actually data.

Bloomberg has all sorts of connections with hundreds of different economic data providers and news orgs — including some they they own themselves.

It’s crazy how you can get CPI prints at 8:30:00.001 because presumably they have some embargo arrangement with the FOMC.

They have a corporate actions database with hundreds of thousands of mergers, dividends, minority stakes, etc.

They have millions of news articles, hundreds of thousands of securities, symbology for all of it.

And don’t even get me started on the alternative data in Bloomberg: weather data, maritime ship position, satellite maps, polling data, crypto prices, corporate hierarchies, holdings/investor data, millions of bios, etc.

It’s an empire of data and it’s all in one place.
If I was to rewrite my blogpost to fit your second sentence I would title it: "Please consider onboarding new staff as a need for your software". This is just another consideration when architecting.

I’ve used them several times to show that a proposed system is mathematically impossible: “if the backend processes n requests/sec with a max response time of X, and the P95 of the backend is Y, the queue satisfaction is 0%”.

For a teenager in a poor family, spending $60 on an Orange Pi (good luck finding a Raspberry Pi for cheaper) with power supply and keyboard is a substantial investment (and that assumes you can get an old monitor for free from somewhere, your family PC is likely a $300 laptop after all)

SSHing into a VPS from the family computer is definitely a lower barrier to entry. You can get dirt-cheap VPS for $3/month, but this free offer is even cheaper and comes without the hassle of payment methods (no explaining to your parents why you need to use their credit card for this).

There's also construction on one side of the board every few turns that it has to route around using lanes that arnt normally legal. It has to do this while a drunk human is also moving the pieces, sometimes in ways that arnt legal, and if it takes too long it can hit a wall and die
Cannot agree more.

Some cases need a very boring CRUD setup, yet other will require distributed events passing around CRDTs.

I've worked on terrible projects built with boring tech that was perfect for simple CRUD, but where the project wasn't anything CRUD at all but parsed huge datasets of time series, combined with events and changesets. The 'boring tech' was such a bad fit, that the project ground to a halt, cost enormous budgets just to keep running, and was impossible to move forward.
Yeah. It's not just a prudish workplace policy thing. There is definitely stuff I wouldn't want on a screen in an office workplace policies notwithstanding because someone could take offense whether reasonably IMO or not. For that matter, there are almost certainly (non-porn) films I wouldn't go out of my way to watch on a plane especially if there were children nearby.
Padding is my main problem with books. Two out of the last three books I read could easily have been reduced from 300 to 25-50 pages. They would have been better and more impactful, too, without all the fluff.

It is a classic just-so story.

"Gould expressed deep skepticism as to whether evolutionary psychology could ever provide objective explanations for human behavior, even in principle; additionally, even if it were possible to do so, Gould did not think that it could be proven in a properly scientific way." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-so_story
> You literally have no option to change any of this.

I'm guessing you only figuratively mean literally. You have the option of starting your own party that does care about privacy (and then voting for yourself), and you have the option of "contributing to the election campaigns of" (i.e. bribing) politicians who will then vote for legislation you want.

More practically, you can campaign within an existing party (presumably the Democrats) for them to support electoral reform (e.g. RCV or Approval Voting, at least for state elections) so that new parties can emerge, and so that the existing parties become more reflective of the actual wishes of voters.
When I was first reading the NY Times Sunday Magazine, I would see articles interviewing e.g. Nick Nolte and leaving it to be understood that he was the greatest mind in the acting business since William Shakespeare. I thought them odd, and I took a while to understand that these pieces were timed to appear before the subject's next movie.

A bit later, I noticed that the same magazine would now and then pick out some other figure--the columnist Lewis Grizzard or the singer Robert Goulet--for a good beating that seemed out of proportion with the space they took up in the readership's psyches, perhaps out of proportion with their demerits. Do we need figures to think poorly of to reassure ourselves of the value of our positive judgments?

I imagine also that some of the critics who looked down on McKuen had good words for singers and writers equally forgotten now.
Everyone needs context for satire though. I wouldn't have spotted it if it wasn't in this context. Something like The Onion, 4chan, Jack Black, or Jonathan Swift is context. If it was posted on a political subreddit or some other place that doesn't understand satire, nobody would get it.

To do it fairly, you'd have to feed it an article from The Onion and tell it it's from The Onion, or compare against human performance. Deadpan requires some knowledge of current context. I'd bet in a satirical article on US elections, GPT-3 would figure it out better than say, the average Indonesian, but not as well as say, the average American. But I'll probably do it later when I'm at a keyboard; this is just theorizing.

What I do find interesting is that this wasn't vulnerable to the attacks given in the OP, not even when I removed enough text for a human to not get it.
That’s really not true. Americans love good public transportation where it’s available and works well. Most US cities have lots of buses, and many have light rail. But in a big country with a spread-out population, public transportation is tough.

American corporations perhaps aren’t as interested in public transportation, because there is no money to be made. And that is who is largely funding this self-driving vehicle research.
> Programmers tend to be interested in cool new paradigms, tools, libraries, etc...

The Pomegranate Router
# Abstract

TPR is an anonymous, decentralized routing protocol. Its purpose is to route a message from Alice to Bob, without Charlotte being able to read the message or discover both parties at the same time. It does not depend directly on encryption for keeping the data secure in transit, and only uses it to protect the identity of the endpoint and validate the identity of the nodes. It routes the message in chunks and the server must rebuild the message once it arrives. Thus, it is needed to use different techniques for making it resilient, like error correction and hash functions. TPR focuses on fragmented and decentralized networks similar to blockchains, and this plus other features render TPR virtually invulnerable to predecessor attacks. TPR provides many of the benefits of Quick UDP Internet Connection (QUIC) while having the reliability of a traditional TCP/IP connection, with the only inconvenience of the higher latency because of the nodes.
