>Solar cars are scam. They are designed to get funding out of investors with poor understanding of technology.

They certainly exist, it's just not the performance numbers people want from their vehicle.

>Do some basic math. The electric energy harvested with the solar panels is negligible for transportation.

Thats not true; and also depends on your usecase. Aptera is certainly going to come to market with a product for example, but does your usecase allow a 2 seat death trap? What if you have to have a baby seat? Surely nobody is putting children in it.

But if you're a bachelor looking to reduce your cost of transportation to 0. Damn what a good option.

>And why should we want to move around solar power plants? It makes much more sense to have them stationary. And to connect them to the power grid to sell the energy to others when the sun shines but the batteries are full.

1kw on your car is hardly comparable to a major solar array. By the same argument you can deny any solar purpose. Which isn't reasonable to many use cases.
systemd-nspawn, LXC, and podman should all be able to do that (though doing recursive containers can be kind of weird). In theory https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker should as well, it runs very lightweight VMs.

You are probably referring to Sysbox (https://github.com/nestybox/sysbox), which I believe will meet your requirements (systemd, inner containers, security, etc).

Btw, Sysbox is already supported in Docker-Desktop (business tier only), so you can easily do what you want with this instruction:

$ docker run -it --rm -e SYSBOX_SYSCONT_MODE=TRUE ghcr.io/nestybox/ubuntu-focal-systemd-docker:latest bash

Disclaimer: I'm Sysbox's co-creator and currently working for Docker.
We’re all racing to be last in population heat death.
I suspect that there's a design document somewhere that has secrets and tips. Plus MacOS and NeXTstep have been ported so many times that by now any arch-level things are well-isolated. A lot of the pain of MacOS on x86 were related to kernel extensions and driver API changes. And a lot of stuff fell out during the 64-bit transition.

In general, MacOS/iOS/iPadOS owe everything to the excellent architecture laid down by the NeXT team back in the day. NeXTstep now has the dream that MS tried and failed to do back in the day: an OS that runs on every kind of device they make. Funny how that is.
Sorry, crypto.

I don’t know much about the topic and sometimes I get confused with the concepts crypto, currency, non fungible, token and I call it asset asset to generalize. So, what makes a crypto to be a crypto?
Are we in a recession? No.

But some large parts of the economy are operating much like they would if we were in one. Other large parts are not.
> This is literally the only way to make crypto successful. All this price action non-sense, and people wanting to get fiat-rich is just unproductive noise to me.

Why are you buying crypto regularly? If you don’t care about the price, and you have no idea what the fair value is - what’s the right coin and right amount to hold?

Ask HN: Has anybody had luck making Webflow work behind Cloudflare?
We're proxying traffic to Webflow via Cloudflare Workers so we can do custom routing for our product. Webflow is used in our stack for marketing content.

Webflow wants us to be on Enterprise to get this "Reverse Proxy as a Service" feature. This costs $50k minimum per annum.

Has anybody had any luck in getting Webflow to work consistently behind Cloudflare? We've got it semi-working, but get the occasional HTTP 406 for a few hours every now and then when they block Cloudflare's IP range.

Instant ACH, what could possibly go wrong?
evidence for you, and i (though i’d argue it’s transparency more than decentralization that matters in this case), but that’s certainly not the widespread sentiment. consider also the number of non-custodial failures in this space ranging all the way back to The DAO. at the end of the day, Tether market cap is and has been >> Dai market cap for almost its entire existence. that tells you all you need to know.
On the other side of this, I've been using Arc for ~4 months now, and there are definitely quirks, but overall I've been quite happy with it.

One of the primary complaints in the post is password syncing, and I'm not sure that's a fair knock against Arc since it seems like OP would struggle to switch to any browser that's not Safari (and they say as much just generally in the conclusion).

> I use iCloud Keychain for passwords on all of my devices, and of course, my bookmarks are synced via Safari. So when I tried to use Arc, nothing was in sync.

My experience was much better since I use 1Password. The extension was a little clumsy at first, but I gave the feedback and things were improved in the next release and I haven't had any issues since. Really any third party password manager with a Chrome extension should work fine.

Arc is weird, it's a different way of thinking about a browser. I've personally enjoyed it, but I can totally see why others wouldn't. The tl;dr of the post is "if you just want Safari you'll be happier with Safari" and I think that's a totally fair assessment.

Also, building a house with your own hands sounds pretty awesome, I think there's a reason these 'do stuff the old-fashioned way' videos on YouTube have such a following (there are these pretty famous videos about a project similar to yours[1], if you haven't seen them). And good luck with the project!

Here the cause and effect are reversed.
Not them, but my employer makes it a major PITA to add non-standard repositories on the corporate Ubuntu image because of the weird and non-standard way Apt is configured. The "docker.io" package available in the official Ubuntu repository is typically horribly out of date.

Additionally, (and admittedly this isn't really Docker's fault), the default IP range for Docker's network happens to conflict with my employer's internal network, which is great fun to debug if you forget to change it.
I wish i could have a dollar every time i read about how a certain bad thing « could never happen due to the technical nature of this crypto ».

Rescale Teams with Nvidia to Combine HPC and AI for Engineering in the Cloud
No offense, but how many years have you lived in this world? Have you seen it? Have you never cared yet? If not, what is your problem? How about you actually go and when you read a piece of news or see a problem out in this world, you CARE. For one second in your life, you actually dont just look at yourself and do everything for your own higher happiness and well being and you actually try to help somebody else or fix a serious problem or stop some evil that is going on out there. We live in a messed up world of wars and pain and suffering of immense proportions. And yet you come here and ask like a child: "ohh gee, I wanna have a purpose because I'll be even more happy than I already am, I heard it gives me an even bigger high!" I'm paraphrasing. It's almost offensive honestly. Not almost, it is offensive.

> In the case of FTX, there wasn't a problem with the counter party, it was a problem with the exchange playing with the customer deposits that should have been left untouched.

I have two questions, because unlike with the other crypto drama, I'm late to this party.

1. Is that actually what happened?

2. If the answer to #1 is yes, why does this still keep happening? We're in 2022, how many times has this played out, already?
Another nice thing about Kagi is that you can eliminate domains from your search results. Obvious content farms are pretty easy to spot and remove.
> Apple certainly doesn't have any problem with older engineers

Just to be clear, I never meant to suggest that they did—I just didn't realize employees remained with the company for that long, instead of switching.
Shareholders own shares of the company, and the company owns assets. For example, Uber owns some data center equipment. If the company were liquidated, that equipment would be sold and the proceeds distributed to creditors, bond-holders, and share-holders.

We're about to see this process unfold for FTX. How exciting!
I'm always surprised to see posts like this, and no one mentioning testcafe. It's a super solid e2e testing library! I've been using it for quite a while and it runs reliably and consistently. The API design can be a little messy, but it was (and still is!) a top contender when I was evaluating tools in this space. And open source and contributor friendly. Not sure why I so rarely see it mentioned!
There is ample evidence that CA had no impact. They were charlatans trying to sell snake oil; IIRC the underlying algorithm was based on a simple factorization of a User x Likes matrix that did not have substantial predictive value.

There is plenty to lay at the feet of Meta, but I've always thought the CA scandal was an overreaction.
IMO this article misses the biggest issue with search engines today. It's less about any ranking algorithm (like PageRank), but rather the root cause is with indexing. No matter how much you fine tune your ranking system, if your index is filled with SEO junk and blogspam, you're fighting a losing battle from the start.

For some reason, a lot of these search engines like to brag about the number of documents in their index, which never made sense to me. Maybe it was true in the past, but on the modern web, larger index !== better results. In fact, I'd argue the opposite since you're much more likely to serve SEO spam.

That was my motivation to start hacking around on CrowdView (https://crew-rho.vercel.app), a search engine specifically for forums and discussion content (e.g. forums, discords, twitter, reddit, etc). It has a curated index (today, curated by yours truly) to remove SEO junk and help you figure out "what does a real, genuine human think about this think?"
Microsoft squashes six security bugs already exploited in the wild
This is a pretty good comparison especially since the issue was FTX a) not anticipating the volatility of their holdings and b) incorrectly modeling how an unexpected price drop would have cascading effects on their ability to operate.
I was probably being a little too literal when I said xpath/id. Something unique like a custom class would be ideal, agreed. I just see that as a different kind of id that I find through an xpath query, which is what I really meant.

To your point, though, the advantage of the class is that other things in your stack probably don't have opinions about what class you tack on, whereas they might want to define your (actual) id for you. IIRC this was how I asked devs to get around dynamic-UI runtime issues where the ids were also auto-generated.
The SSO authorization requires "Act on your behalf" permissions, and says "Not owned or operated by GitHub" at the bottom of the authorize page. This is suspicious to me.

I would expect the messaging to reflect this is owned by GitHub if GitHub Next is owned by GitHub.
> It took fucking forever in tech-industry time to come up with a single solution for dynamic linking, something Windows and Amiga OS solved in the fucking 80s.

Can you please tell us more? I'm curious.
Indeed. You need: loggers, data generators, integrations with state probe points, data/result aggregators, etc, etc.

For massive numbers of tests, now it's time to look into parallelism. Really hope you're not sharing your test data between test cases! Or holding open a single db session to your write instance!

How about multimedia artifacts management?

Point being, test automators do a shit ton of work nobody ever wants to dig into.

Tests are not there to only be written. They must be read.
Most people on HN probably are - especially those at FAANG.

It's just 2 years with 200k individual or 300k combined income, or 1M NAV.
This seems hysterically optimistic. The current crash is not going to stop with FTX, it's already crashing Solana, BTC, etc. And if Binance themselves and/or Tether come tumbling down, there will be absolute carnage in the markets.

How scientists can inform policy decisions
You said "fresh set of eyes" so I assumed you don't use it, my apologies.

I was also speaking generally, not towards React itself. Some people do have some issues with it, but I don't think it should be discarded wholesale as you imply. By all means, use alternatives like Vue, Solid or Svelte, but React is in my opinion wholly superior, at least for someone functionally oriented like me, where f(State) = UI without reactive stream based side effects.
Are you implying they offered more to solve the problem? Being generous and conceding maybe that was the case, why don’t you think that fixed anything?

Just asking for more time or more people isn’t really a solution. Maybe it can be part of the solution but it should rarely be the primary fix. They already said they had over 200 people on the team, so I would expect some pushback on saying they continually need more resources. It’s like asking for more inventory to cover up quality control issues. It only shows a superficial understanding of the problem.
The oauth prompt reads "Not owned or operated by GitHub"; should get that changed if this is operated on behalf of the company.
What everyone is saying and you’re missing, is that those scams and frauds affect the inherent value of your bag, and reduces your purchasing power of services/products. You can take solace in having X/N possible BTCs, but you’ll need 100X when the price falls.
Because it’s not a brick . It’s not made of physical materials. But it took time and purpose. It has practical uses. Not sure about decorative one.
> There is a difference between trading firms with good tech (Jane Street) and firms taking prop risk (DE Shaw)

I wouldn't say that. At least, I haven't talked to many FB employees and yet bootcamp was used for onboarding at two largish tech companies I worked at.
I bit the bullet and pay for Bloomberg now, it's too good too consistently.
When I'm assuming that your lack of understanding is rhetorical, it's that I'm assuming bad faith over comprehension difficulties (due to the quality of this forum.) I understand that's not what Hanlon teaches.

-----

edit: so, assuming good faith, saying an adult's writing and opinions are like the opinions of a student going through a phase is, ironically, a childish criticism (especially when directed at a very successful writer and opinion-haver.) If you have or know little kids, you've probably noticed that the first way they speak condescendingly about other little kids is by saying they act like babies. Adults should have more substantial criticisms, based on the claims made. Any of them. Literally any reference to any claim that you're criticizing. That's got to be a minimum standard for being interesting or constructive.
Exactly. And when someone talks about this "purpose" I get a feeling they're trying to scam me. All I have are these little things in life that make me smile and feel good, today it was catching this funny little bug in my code, tomorrow it might be going for a run, on Saturday it may be a message from my mom, and that's all there is :)
>I have always imagined PageRank to be modeled after how academic papers are judged. What cites that publication, and who that publication cites, are quite important information to put a publication in context. For the same reason, I don't think PageRank will go away.

You are correct but in the scientific community there are no armies of spammers who persistently try to outperform other scientists by writing fake research papers and spamming citations. There are cases of fraud here and there but not at the scale of the Internet or to be exact the World Wide Web(WWW).

>the ability to over-weight certain referrers (i.e. a link from Encyclopedia Britannica is worth more than a link from Wikipedia, which is worth more than a link from MySpace)

Google probably already does this but exactly how nobody knows because of their blackbox algorithm policy. Speaking about this suggestion; it depends on what you search query is....you need to assign specific weight values to certain referrers in relation to search queries from X,Y,Z categories.
Give me a cheap EV glued together in India out of plastic parts rather. Or a nice e-bike. The solar on the car is just a gimmick. Put the solar on my roof rather.
I agree. Thanks for bringing that to the discussion. The risk is that it creates a false equilibrium where the perception is the good equals, outweighs or justifies the bad.

But you are totally right. We must celebrate with he good in others and life or our critical observations lose all merit.
Sysbox works great! Amazing job.

But OP is looking for something that works for macos I believe.
We're still not into an actual recession as well either, and BTC has never been tested by a properly bad recession (2020 doesn't really count due to how sharp the recovery was).

It is this bad for crypto right now, and there's going to be no cheap cash coming to rescue it for quite some time.

I think it is still possible that there might be a floor down at $4k or so where all the True Believer billionaires may still step in to buy it up and rescue it. If the billionaires themselves are net sellers though needing to raise cash because everything else is in flames (e.g. Elon+Twitter) then it may just fail.

What a biased article:

"that comes out to 10 to 20 miles per day, which is near negligible if you’re trying to use the car for anything other than city errands."

10-20 miles per day is a big chunk of a commute for a lot of people. This is hardly negligible.
Actually AIG and other bond insurers really got the bailouts too.

I remember a guy bragging about helping another firm backdate its books to get bail out money. He was bragging. Still remember his name and how he got his pill head daughter a Cush company paid job in London.
Yeah, but still kludge because we don't do that for all files, do we? If it didn't start with a minus, we'd just drop it. So there's no one true way, as we'd like to think.
Heh, OCTO. Nice.
I mean, we should probably acknowledge it's a bit of both.
To clarify further, from TFA: "While early versions of the Helicity Drive wouldn’t exceed the Lawson criterion (more energy out than in) and would require external (presumably solar) power, the energy added to the exhaust from fusion would increase the system’s exhaust velocity and ISP (giving somewhere in the neighborhood of 10,000 s isp, vs a maximum of ~400 for chemical rockets)"

So it is not able to generate more energy than it takes to operate, just like the fusion devices we can already create on earth, but can create really fast exhaust which makes the rocket more efficient.
> > And why should we want to move around solar power plants? It makes much more sense to have them stationary. And to connect them to the power grid to sell the energy to others when the sun shines but the batteries are full.

> "[...] By the same argument you can deny any solar purpose."

I don't follow. Can you expand on this line of reasoning?
huh, so that's what's happening to me. I was wondering what the likely cause of the kernel panic issue might be. This might be the impetus I needed to try one of these Mac docker alternatives.
They are banned mainly because they like to skirt KYC and similar regulations. It doesn't mean their financial engineering is poor. Those two issues are completely orthogonal.
The difference is Google is trying to do this with the data extracted/mined/tracked from the user (pulled), while the model proposed in the article is based on users volunteering their data to the search engine (push) because incentives are aligned and they trust it. A sbtle difference, but the latter can produce vastly better outcomes as the quality of the data would be presumably much higher. (auther here)
Why is this news?

and the list goes on.

What is it about bitcoin that brings people into these threads to say "good riddance! I hope it dies because all of it's negative externalities."?

To the oblivious observer it would appear cryptocurrency lives rent free in many heads in this space. If you don't care for it why pay attention to it?

I am not a fan of BlackRock. The last thing I could imagine spending my time doing would be checking BLK on the NYSE to gleefully dance on its grave when it misses its earnings, and then hopping into my echo chamber to share the news with anonymous strangers.
We're of a mind, for sure.

I was/am a pretty big fan of the Context-Driven Testing (https://context-driven-testing.com/) concept from James Bach and Cem Kaner, though I think Kaner later backed away from either it or Bach, not sure which. It was basically the testing version of the Agile Manifesto.

The idea in general of "THINK about what you're doing and the specific results you need and do what's OPTIMAL, not what's DOGMATIC" has guided my career for many years, both inside and outside of testing.

It’s the price you pay for instant money in your account. I mean you want quick settlement or 3-4 days to access your money.

Pros and cons. The consumer is at risk, well don’t be an idiot consumer. No different than giving someone cash and them running away.
Right. And social media capitalizes on that behavior and amplifies it significantly.
