That's because being anti-mandate is effectively being anti-vax from a public health policy perspective. By construction, effective public health can't be about individual choice, and the astonishing efficacy of vaccines in history has relied on this principle.

A typical example for the disadvantages mentioned by you is the dam on the Danube, where the island of Ada Kaleh and a few villages have gone under water, forcing the relocation of thousands of people.

Moreover, that dam has been a major contributor to the great reduction in the number of sturgeons in the Black Sea.

You don't care whether you have almost no effective chance to actually get a job? Yeah, something tells me you're not being entirely truthful here.
I'm not the OP, but there is an idea in bushiness that a company has to have a percentage return on the equity invested. That rate goes up when interest rates go up. Otherwise you could just sell the equity and buy corporate debt instead.

I went with Slim for a recent light project and then tore everything out and used the stdlib only, and then I realized I didn't even really need even a routing library in my case. It worked out great, but it's probably unusual. For a really small project, you likely just need a routing lib.
Do you have examples of concurrent use-cases that xargs and parallel don't satisfy? I discovered parallel recently and was blown away by how much it improves things. I've only really used it in basic scenarios so far, just wondering where its limitations are.
> Current methods of 'paying' for carbon emissions have ended up being corrupt wealth transfers.

Not really, Canada just refunds people whatever they collect in carbon taxes at the end of the year, with the goal being to make the decision clearer at the point of sale. [1]

> That people are still for them is pretty good evidence they aren't really concerned about the consequences of carbon emissions.

Anyone who thinks you should emit less carbon understands that making carbon more expensive does just that.

We don't need to let perfect be the enemy of good and have an absolutely unimpeachable answer as to exactly how much damage a metric ton of CO2 does to know that making it more expensive will help.

[edit] IMO we should just let gas get to $10+/gal.

Don't forget Apple's Lightning patents run out soon.

I think rather than ride it alone in the carnage of out-of-spec Lightning kit that would undoubtedly flood the market, getting switched to USB-C (while the customers blame regulators for having to buy new accessories) is probably better for Apple.
Noone saw this and said, "you know what I'm going to focus on the climate now".

I'm reading my comment and I can't see where I said that legality implies morality. Where did I state that?

If you're talking about "Moreover, the very fact that there are exceptions intentionally added to the tax code means that they're explicitly meant to be used, and therefore that using them is not evil." - that's because the government is the writer, enforcer, and beneficiary of tax code - they have completely control over it, unlike someone who being tortured, who is none of those things. Completely different scenarios.

> As is playing an essential part in the theft (morally and in reality, if not legally) of hundreds of billions of taxes.

This is literally factually incorrect. There's no "theft" here - the government wrote the law to explicitly include these exception that corporate tax lawyers are using. "Theft" is taking something that doesn't belong to you. Taxes are the government asserting that some of the money that you earn belongs to them. When the government writes an exception into the tax code, that's them asserting that they do not own the money covered by that exception, and therefore it is not theft by definition.

You haven't even provided a single justification for your baseless assertion that this is "evil" - just a lot of misdirection and emotionally manipulative statements like "People seem confused on that point often, and it's very weird."
The mistake is that Paypal doesn't "understand" what a customer is or how to retain them.
I had the same issues with my Nova 3, but many of them were fixed by the 3.2 firmware update.

As someone who uses Spotify every day, I hate it. I hate their expanding markets while constantly making the app more bloated, slow, and less intuitive. Really, you're going to fill my recommended page with podcasts you've paid a ton of money for exclusivity instead of showing me recommended music that's relevant to me, like they used to? Audiobooks aren't going to make my music experience any better either. Can't wait for a new, slower UI update in 3 months and for them to take away lyrics _again_.

I'm a bit salty here and that's a bit of a rant, but I just want to stream music and they make it progressively harder.
This is actually a big thing for me, even though you can auto generate with IDEs, Java feels very verbose, even when using the Stream operators.

I just learned C# 2 years back and it opened my eyes to basically Java with less boilerplate. Now with ASP.NET, it's the same thing. It's Spring Boot with less boilerplate and more streamlined.

I push new projects to use .NET as much as possible.

The writing experience was inferior to my usual fountain pen and good paper, and the PDF reader couldn't handle the one document that I need to search in daily. So, meh. Sometimes a product can be pretty close to realizing an exciting idea only to reveal that the idea wasn't all that great in the first place.
Also, gas providers filled up storage and secured volumes at high prices. Even if they now buy for way less, customer prices will be an average (at least, depending on exactly how providers calculate costs and thus prices) of those two. So until the old inventory is consumed, consumer gas prices won't move a lot.

Overall, this is good. As a consumer you want stable prices and not depend on spot and future markets fluctuations.
They don't. Your "host" also reviews you. Guess what your review is if you complain too much? Will any future host accept a complainer?

What do you think could be behind the noise in this case? It does look like the steepest drop in many decades, and more surprising when we read stories on HN about automation that would imply a baseline increase in productivity.
This was a bit later than that, I think 2008ish. As far as I remember, this didn't actually require new wires in the ground type of deal, more so provisioning bigger links through the backbone providers.

> This metric is no longer meaningful, as in 99th percentile you'll have someone making £1.5m+, which is a world's difference.

We're debating various degrees of rich. If you earn more than 98% of your working peers, I don't know what else you could call that.

People make choices with their money. Living alone in an expensive city is a choice. If you choose to do that on £150k, you're going to have far less disposable income than others on that same salary making different choices.

I have very little sympathy for people who blow all of their income funding a lifestyle they can't afford to project the appearance of wealth and status.

Weather models divide the atmosphere into cells where each cell has it's own forecast. There are several ways to do it but if you imagine the cells as cubes, the north-south and east-west dimensions of the cube is 300m long. 300m is very high resolution for weather models with most running at a few kilometers to a few dozen kilometers.
Yeah, I don't really think that most of them are "evil" either - perhaps "careless in a way that harms people" - I'm just arguing that the root of the harm stems from the tax code itself and not people trying to work it.
There is (was, really) an argument in the public sphere as to whether the inflation we're experiencing is merely "transitory," and this plays into the larger debate about how it ought to be dealt with by the Fed and the US government. Use of the word "chronic" is merely someone noting their position on the question of whether our inflation is "transitory."

edit: looking at it in context, it's someone noting the Fed's decision on the matter (of course it's not transitory), which also makes sense
At least in the Netherlands you can get a energy contract with dynamic pricing, where you pay the actual market price (plus tax) at time of use. When energy prices go negative, you'll also get paid.

However, this is a knife that cuts both ways: if the energy market prices rise sharply, you'll also immediately have to pay higher prices and don't benefit from the contracting ahead-of-time and averaging that regular energy companies do. I've spoken to people with such a contract whose energy bills went up by >100x this year, compared to last year.

I think they have to get some kind of exclusive content. Either they somehow start recording hits and start a war with other streaming services for popular tracks or they have podcasts which I guess are sort of supposed to be like the catalog that video streaming services are trying to build.
I knew about it, but I don't think if you asked an average individual on the street, they'd have any clue - unlike asking any American or Canadian about Chernobyl, or any Canadian about Bhopal or Halifax.

I think Chernobyl has a much bigger influence on nuclear policy than Bangqiao on hydro despite the latter causing two orders of magnitude more deaths.

> We, too, have not switched on the gas based heating yet. Instead, we are using a mix of wood and infrared electrical heaters

In the event that your electric power is derived from gas, you've shifted the burden elsewhere and actually increased overall gas consumption, since using gas to warm your home directly would be more efficient.
You’re splitting hairs here under the guise of data centrism. By virtually every metric shareholders are continuously improving their lives while workers have not. Obviously the 0.01-10% of the population that comprises shareholders with voting rights or majority holdings is a smaller cohort but when they improve their lot at the expense of everyone else we’re in a tyranny of the minority and doing nothing but argue is a wholly unacceptable state of affairs.
Because a recession is all but obvious at this point.

While it may not be here now, we probably have more foresight into the fact that there will be a recession than ever before.

The Fed will intentionally create one to stop inflation, despite their talk of soft landing. The only hope otherwise is that inflation subsides on its own, which, given labor dynamics, is looking increasingly unlikely.

So the Fed has to choose between spiking unemployment to contain inflation, or letting inflation run wild. Powell doesn’t intend to be remembered as an Arthur Burns, so it seems most likely he will keep pressing until the recession comes.

Eventually stock prices will come down enough, and debt costs rise enough to actually cause the layoffs they need to pivot.

Final note that, due to public sector debt levels, we cannot choose a path of allowing moderately high inflation for a long period of time. The government budget will become insolvent without a mechanism to fund it, either at the short or long end of the yield curve. Or in short, either we need a quick and sharp recession, or the Fed to give up on the inflation fight so they can drop short end rates and let govt debt inflate away.

Otherwise the US govt will default within a few years.

How to write a bootloader from scratch (2019)
I think the reason you won't find this in many languages is because people gravitate towards fewer constructs rather than more, and this syntax can be expressed using more general purpose semantics without any additional cost.

The syntax debate is usually something like, "what does this buy us and do we have the budget for it" and imo that loop syntax is not sufficiently general (it cannot express recursion, for example) nor does it make code easier to read (you now have what's essentially a few if/else blocks split across four different code blocks, I would reject this if I saw it in a code review to make the loop simpler), and it doesn't really prevent a user from making mistakes.

Extremely generic control flow constructs have also been shunned a bit. There's a lot of "call/cc considered harmful" content on the internet from a few years back, and I predict we'll see the same thing about new-fangled control flow constructs like algebraic effects.
Not to dismiss this entirely, but I can't recall political leaders at that level ever 'paying' for lies or misinformation in any capacity commensurate with the negative impact of the lies. Has his reputation been dinged a bit in some quarters? Perhaps. That'll be the extent of it.
Usually I associate that sort of problem with *stopping* a sample (since the stop will almost never happen at a point where the wave is actually at zero). Interesting that FF might have problems at the beginning, since most samples do indeed start at zero. I'll explore around that. Cheers!

> This will lead to a housing market that will grind to a halt and expect that whole sector will hemorrhage jobs.

Construction should be an industry that people care about and policymakers watch out for. But making housing purchases dependent on cheap credit may have been a poor decision, and it's possible that as a result large swathes of real estate as a sector are based on problematic incentives. The housing market needs several resets, and much as it pains me to say it as someone who'd like my own mortgages to be cheap as much as anyone else, it might need years of high interest rates to start getting things back in line -- on top of aggressive vacancy taxes, property taxes scaling on single-family rental volume + inventory scarcity, and anything else that nudges capital towards construction vs operation on existing inventory.

> Basically the fed will do anything in its power to stop inflation

I'm not sure what the limits of the fed's will here are, but what worries me is that monetary policy is not the sole or even primary cause of inflation: big supply shocks and demand shifts in the last 2-3 years are the bigger issue. Monetary policy can only go so far in addressing it.

Since you’re in the industry I’m interested in your perspective on this report from Lawrence Berkeley lab on integrated battery storage for wind/solar projects: https://emp.lbl.gov/hybrid

It seems to me that high capacity integrated battery projects are being built in large numbers, and they are much closer to cost-competitive than I would have though from the general sentiment in the press/HN comments. Obviously they are more expensive than raw solar but still in a price range to be competitive with NatGas OpEx in the next few decades. If that’s true then we might not need to fight the environmental battles on pumped storage (which for the record I do agree could be used more).
thanks for catching that! Fixed.
The reversals in the housing market will be unpleasant, but they go hand in hand with all of the overpriced housing we've had for the last decade.

The Fed failed to follow its own policy, of taking the punch bowl away when the party gets going. It allowed the economy to heat up for too long, and thus the inevitable reversals. Averaged over a few decades it will be the same 3-4% GDP growth that we would have gotten if they'd taken a stronger hand in taming the business cycle.

Their goal is to contain the booms so that the busts aren't so bad. Having let the boom go on, there is no choice but for a bad bust to happen. It would be nice if they'd learn their own lesson for next time, a decade or so away... but unfortunately, everybody loves low interest rates and a roaring economy.

Who in this thread is talking about climate change? Everyone is focused on the crazy behavior of the vandals.
That's extremely unusual -- I've used Lightning cables daily for years without any issue at all.

Whenever I would notice a cable not working (after about a year and a half), the culprit was always dust buildup inside the Lightning port preventing the plug from entering fully. Clean it out with a toothpick for 15 seconds, and then good as new.

If you were using an original Apple cable, that's bizarrely bad luck. I can't even imagine what could physically cause that.

That is not what this article is talking about. Windows 95 and Linux 1.0 have long been marked EOL on Microsoft's and Linux kernel team's respective software version charts.

This article talks about older OS versions that are listed as still receiving security updates, but that that those updates aren't actually patching holes in all supported versions equally. It's like Microsoft released security patches for Windows 11 and 10 while both are in support, but without telling anyone actually omitted some fixes from the patches released for Windows 10.
We have 2 recentish iphones and an old c. 2016 ipad, but we have at least 10 lightning connections around the house, car, etc to plug into.

We obviously aren't going to replace all 3 devices at the same time, so it means that the first device we replace will suffer from not having the places to plug in that we currently can (sofa, kitchen, bedroom, car, office, bag, etc), or we have to get more power supplies in those areas, and over time we'll have to get another 10 cables to replace them (and usb-c cables are a total mess)

We'll adjust of course -- we were burnt when they dropped the dock connector meaning we couldn't use two of our radios any more, but we didn't make that mistake again
Wow, I completely misread that comment.

I keep reading this house as a retirement fund comment online, and I have no idea what it means.

Are reverse mortgages a common part of people’s retirement?

https://www.urban.org/urban-wire/reverse-mortgage-use-differ...

> At a time when seniors are sitting on a mountain of housing wealth and have anxiety about their finances, this should be a well-used program. Instead, despite rising senior population, participation decreased between 2011 and 2018, from 73,112 to 33,000 mortgages.

Does not seem like a popular part of peoples’ retirement plans. Even downsizing a house does not seem like it would yield enough of a profit to be a major component of retirement, unless you go from super popular area to middle of nowhere. But I doubt that is people’s retirement plan either.
