The "at scale" argument is flaccid. It's feckless unless you can give a reason why the technology would not scale. For hydrogen, what would be that reason? We don't need to build bigger turbines or electrolysers; we just need to build more of them. That sort of thing scales wonderfully.

About the only thing that might not scale is storage capacity underground, but there are plenty of salt formations and spent gas fields to store hydrogen in. We already store a seasons' worth of natural gas underground in such formations.

If you want to see a GOOD example of "cannot scale", look at today's nuclear reactors. LWRs cannot scale to power the world because uranium runs out. This was the motivation for building breeder reactors. Unlike hydrogen burning turbines, hydrogen storage in underground caverns, and electrolysers, breeder reactors are still a technology under development, with serious issues (safety, economics, reliability, proliferation.)

I don't have MS (no brain lesions and no o-bands over a 3 year period), but I have an "idiopathic" (unknown) neurological disease with very similar symptoms that flare up a few times a year. My cognitive decline has been abysmal the last 5 years and while I'm nearly 40 years old, I'm still not quite there yet so the decline isn't necessarily explainable by aging alone and I first noticed it during the onset of my neurological problems.

I used to have a very sharp memory and attention to detail. Today I can't even remember the last conversation I had with my wife and I constantly skip words and letters. I also have significant word-finding difficulty (mostly in speech).

There are two things I've done to help remedy this which may be of use to you: 1) learn something new and challenging on a quarterly basis like an instrument or wood-working and 2) Adderall. Go get evaluated for ADHD, because it can easily co-exist with the MS undetected. It's worth looking into I think.

For me it's not about efficiency. Using asyncio is just easier than threads.

* One coroutine can only interrupt another one at a point clearly marked with await (or async for or async with). That makes it easier to avoid data races without explicit synchronisation like locks.

* It's much easier to spawn async tasks and avoid them getting lost than with threads, assuming you use asyncio task groups (either by using a future version of Python, or using the anyio library now, or using Trio instead of asyncio).

* Async operations all have first class support for cancellation, and this interacts really cleanly with task groups. That helps with things like time outs, clean shutdown of your program, or cleaning up all resources related to a connection when that connection is closed.

* There's a bit more boilerplate in spawning threads and exchanging messages with them and joining them than the is spawning async tasks, especially when using task groups. (Admittedly, this is a solvable problem, and there are probably good libraries out there to help with this.)
That only works with cards you play from the hand, but effects that you activate on a permanent (e.g. by tapping it) also go on the stack.

It's not a straw-man, the ADA was passed 32 years ago, and Berkeley's financial situation is exactly as I described it. The only difference is that we talked about race instead of disability, and it's less socially acceptable to discriminate on that basis.

Do you know why she didn't have a single wheelchair-bound customer? Because disabled people can't go out to most restaurants due to lack of accessibility. If you think it's the broken-window fallacy, buy a 30$ wheelchair off craigslist and try to go have a date at a restaurant, make sure to call beforehand or you'll be stuck at the door, if you're lucky the accessible entrance won't be in the back-alley by the garbage bins. It's what I've been doing for 30 years and I didn't imagine it along with every other disabled person who relates the same exact experience. Also I assume she didn't complain about having to follow the health and safety code and the many stipulations it has with regards to her kitchen installation and the room it's built in. Maybe she should have made sure to rent a building that enables her business to follow the law, especially those passed years ago, rather than put her hands up when the landlord told her he'd do nothing.

I ended up doing this unintentionally for the last ~1.5 years and...I have to be honest, I didn't hate it.

Maybe it was just pent-up energy from being stuck on a small island (Singapore) for the first two years of covid - and it probably helped that I was mostly in major European capitals - but once I got back into the swing of traveling again it was frankly delightful.
> Kids don’t need their own rooms.

I have a different opinion. They need their own space to play and do the homework. Parents need their own space to do their adult stuff.

> Cities have parks

Good luck trying to afford a property next to a park. 2BR in New York is $7k per month. If you are buying, prepare for $2M+.

> Kids ride the subway and bus alone

16 year olds - maybe. What about Those 7,8,9,10? Would you let your 8 yo kid to take a subway to the park? Give me a break.

> they can walk alone

No, they can't, unless they are 16+, but even then it's dangerous. My friend lived in Battery Park. Her 16 yo kid was bullied and robbed (several times he was surrounded by a few older "kids" and they took his phone away) at least once a month - all in the subway of NY.
> Considering that Google's own login screen suggests using a private window if you're not using your own computer, you'd think that this would work.

It will, and does, normally, but it likely increases a "suspicion" score for the login. Combine that with attempting to log in to a rarely used account and potentially other factors its possible that the login attempt has gone past a threshold and gets effectively "shadowbanned".
Correct: this is also why we ban importation of foreign food, so they Americans can keep at least BASIC knowledge of agriculture. Similarly, we require that air transportation in US is only done on US made planes, so that US keeps at least basic knowledge of building planes. Without these measures, those industries would be gone.

I don't think this is correct. It has a suggested SP register, which merely gets some special support in the C subset. But that's just an optional compression scheme and not really part of the ISA design.

I agree, I think it blinds people to the sort of problem that user macrolocal mentions in a nearby comment, rising illiberalism among both 'liberals' (more accurately called progressives, but this terminology is all twisted in America..) and conservatives. I'm concerned that both use the other to justify or rationalize their own declining liberalism.
"Admitted guilt forthrightly" is also suspicious.

The principal activity of higher level spooks and investigators is coercing people. Even when they don't have anything on the coercee, they can have, or claim to have, things on someone one cares about: a spouse, parent, sibling. Spooks are mainly supposed to coerce information delivery. Cops are supposed to coerce confessions and (if necessary, false) testimony.

They may choose to coerce other things, of course, of less interest to their employers. Sociopaths love these jobs.
My experience may be illustrative of why you should let some employees WFH. Out of the Navy, I got hired as a programming intern assigned to work on the database for "Mouse Works" for the Macintosh, which became "Microsoft Works" after Microsoft decided to publish it. I wrote the database and more. I also managed all three releases from 1984 to 1993 as the build engineer.

I did this all while working from home in Santa Cruz. Our small team all worked from home because the owner didn't want to spend money on an office. We got together every few weeks to compare notes and integrate our work.

After Works, I went to work for companies that required me to be in the office, which was the rule for the time. I found I couldn't perform in an office because there were too many distractions. I need peace and quiet to think, and never found that in the many office settings I worked at. I produced some passable work, but nothing like I had been able to do at home.

If your employees tell you they need to work at home to produce their best work, believe them.
I think we've had some pretty balanced and constructive discussions about this I'm HN. I'm not worried.

What are the chances I’ll want to be living in the same area, or same house, considering the massive churn in demographics, economic shifts, etc. currently ongoing? Or even in 5 years?

About the same.

If one of those moves happens and the markets down, things get interesting. Especially when someone is upside down.

Either way, transaction costs tend to eat up any potential gains unless one is really lucky or you stay a long time, which is hard to do during high change times.

If, in the future, I can find a place in a good location/part of town, with plenty of room, and is convenient to earning income, etc. and that doesn’t require me to get loan payments at some crazy multiple of my income, then yeah I’ll probably buy.

But that hasn’t been a thing in the Bay Area since about ‘15 or so. And with everyone running for the rural areas for a multitude of reasons and remote work becoming the norm, the rental markets are crashing hard here.

Even before COVID however, housing prices had started to flatline or decrease as even with historic low interest rates, payments were very high, and even with increasingly risky financing, very few people could afford them.

I've removed my mention of a study saying smoking helped, more recent research contradicts it.

He moved at least twenty years ago, to a sunny but more northern west coast city and has remained here since. (I wasn't being as clear as I thought. I've now edited my post, thanks!)

It's reasonable to suppose that some environmental factors might be involved, but vary. After all, Epstein-Barr is at best a necessary condition for MS, it's very far from sufficient. Logically it can't be the whole story or nearly everyone would have MS.

The coast is useful because the sun is kinder, more filtered. Even if UVB turns out to be necessary, which I don't know of course, it's nice not to worry too much about the time of day you're out. It might be worth noting that a century ago when sun therapy was in vogue, they recommended the three hours after sunrise, only. But they also put resorts in mountains, esp in Europe, to get a longer season of effective full spectrum light.

I distinctly remember a shift in the quality of my colleagues when I started noticing they all pointed out what was good about my equipment/work (I’m a video/audio producer and editor). They saved critiques and suggestions for when I solicited them.

I always attributed it to people needing to reaffirm that they are experts. They don’t really care what they are talking about, they just want everybody to hear them contribute. Perhaps it’s because they are defensive about their own skill level and are feeling “imposter syndrome.” Or maybe they are just super egotistical, who knows. Psychology is complicated haha

There is zero inequality. Salesmen for example get % of actual profits plus pretty good fixed salaries. They chose the extra stress for extra money.

I, a WFH worker, am not in any shape or form stopping them from becoming financial advisers who scratch their balls in the living room while filling up Excel spreadsheets all day (and taking less money).

It's their choice. I am not forcing them into it.

If we're going to pull out the inequality card then two can play at this game: why should I be forced in an office when OBJECTIVELY AND FACTUALLY my job will be just as, if not more, efficient when I work from home?
Okay, great Ringworld reference.
You are conflating keep alive with http pipelining, they are not one and the same. Keep alive may be supported and servers may claim to have fully parses request 1 correctly so they can be fairly confident request 2 can be parsed correctly, but reading the spec one way or another and that is no longer a guarantee that holds.

Keep alive and http pipelining are supported by major servers, some with bugs or issues, but no clients pipeline requests (at least not the major browsers, curl and other popular tooling).

It’s not FUD, pipelining and reuse of an existing connection is broken in the face of trying to parse text protocols that don’t have well defined semantics and where implementations reading the same documentation provide different results because it’s not black and white, it’s fuzzy around the edges.

> not implementing generics when it was pretty obviously needed was a huge oversight

I get the desire for generics. I do a lot of C# and have used generics for a very many years. Yet I've been writing Go for around 6 or 7 years and other than in the beginning (when I was new to it) I haven't found myself missing them at all.

In other words, for many people the lack of generics comes across as an oversight. For others, including myself (again, a heavy generics user in C#) that really isn't the case. I write Go in the style of Go and it just hasn't been an issue.

Blanket statements are rarely true. YMMV.
As someone in a "rut" recently, one of the things I realized was I needed to stop telling myself the story that I'm in a rut, because describing it as a "rut" focuses on a lot of externals I can't control.

When you get a flat tire you can catastrophically repeat over and over to yourself that "I've got a flat!" and point at it and run circles around the car and wonder what you're going to do and "omg I've got a flat this is terrible", or you can start telling yourself the story of the actions you're taking to fix the flat: 1) I'm finding the jack, 2) I'm loosening the lugs 3) I've got the spare ready, 4) you get the idea...

Reclaim your power and focus on the positive actions you are taking as minute as those seem in the moment. Meditate deeply on those, maybe even journal them daily so you force your brain to stare at the evidence that while you might feel like you're in a rut you are logically taking good steps through this rut experience.

Btw, don't underestimate the impact of the stresses of coming fatherhood, you've got a lot going on unconsciously that's less a "rut" and more like your entire biology reconfiguring itself for a new daily role. You do need to make some changes, ideally make a list of what your brain is telling you to change, but you'll be OK man.

> Do the best&brightest from one community or circumstance always have the same traits as the best&brightest from another community or circumstance?

Can the answer to this question be "yes"? In the same way that the best NBA players share traits, I don't see any reason why the best physicians, engineers, etc. also wouldn't share traits across cultures/backgrounds.

Going further, can't we measure these traits with outcomes of standardized testing? Given you agree these traits exist, can you propose an better alternative?

I actually wrote about this divide that I was seeing in regards to remote work a while back: https://blog.kronis.dev/articles/remote-working-and-the-elep...

Since then, it just seems even more noticeable. I guess there are just different people with different preferences and life circumstances to deal with, but personally I just wish that most would be able to whatever feels suitable for themselves.

Claiming that we should do X because everyone else is doing it feels harmful (outside of external factors that force your hand), as does pigeonholing people who don't prosper in a certain mode of work into it due to others feeling comfortable with it.

In those situations, it just feels like people might be better off just finding a mode of work that suits themselves, rather than sticking around in an environment where they'll be miserable.
"change things" vs "change things but ostensibly back to the way they were before".

For instance, ruling against Roe v. Wade. Regardless of what you think of that, it, such a ruling was a deviation from the status quo. It was "changing things" as surely as the original ruling changed things.

I can't find the article, but some people don't realize gmail's sent folder can contain incoming messages. (Google insists this is a feature.)

Anyway, people have been fired because a coworker received a forged harassing email, and IT found the message in the true victim's sent box.

Not really hacking, but, unlike every other mail client, GMail BCC (blind carbon copy) displays the BCC list to every recipient. This has caused significant trouble for people too.

Examples: Send carefully worded response to harassing coworker, and BCC HR. Coworker sees the BCC, gets further bent out of shape. Alternatively, sales person BCCs some corporate VP or legal or other person the customer is not supposed to know about.

As they say, if you are not paying, you are the product.
