It’s a little writing trick I leaned from (I think) Orwell. Any time you’re about to use a common metaphor, try to tweak it. You’ll catch readers off guard, which piques their curiosity.

It’s a fun game, too. I wish I’d used “the cat’s out of the hat,” but I didn’t think of it till later.

Yeah there is a lot of space between "has savings for 8-12 months"

I think there is a mentality difference here. I have savings that would easily last me 10 years of not working. But... that's kind of my plan. I will be retiring some day.

I don't want to use up even a dime of that money by not working in my prime earning years.
Curious if you have done this yourself
Now that you mention it, my old style of editing might have been something that I learned, rather than was explicitly taught.

I used to frame writing as a painful activity, so once I had a "workable" rough draft, I would break out a scalpel and try to make it readable with word surgery. I would spend hours staring at the same few paragraphs, and it was horrible.

Now I just delete it. It feels like a clean slate, but the slate in my brain has made opinions about what's important to say and how to say it better.

The two approaches exercise completely different muscles, and what I like about the "rewrite" approach is that it exercises some of the same muscles that will help me communicate myself properly on the first try.
This doesn't seem to include text from submissions.

I ran it on Brian Armstrong's temp account from here, and it said it didn't write 10,000 characters:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3754664

EDIT: Or maybe it's something else because Brian only wrote less than 6k characters. But then why can my account be looked up?

Also, I would guess quoted replies are included, which muddies the analysis. Seems to be a very naive implementation. Much more can be done, but this was probably just a quick project.

It does and has not though. This is a 5.5kW battery, and a European vehicle. So charge takes about 3h on a standard wall socket.
the US promotes liberalism for others, but internally they promote their very own interests

double face

after blocking you from doing commerce with their enemies through multitudes of sanctions and lobbies, they'll start to punish you if you try to protect your interests

To quote the article: "Washington announced on Wednesday (2 October) that it would hit European products with punitive tariffs worth $7.5 billion after receiving the green light from the World Trade Organization (WTO), following a 15-year legal battle between aircraft manufacturers Boeing and Airbus."
Hmmm... not sure I would agree.
USD is extremely important internationally. The ability to exchange it freely is part of why it’s important.

This does not mean that the $5T per day of FX outweighs the actual commerce in determining the value of the dollar.

(I’m not interested in the “lack of understanding” game.)
Having run in anarchist circles when I was younger, it's strange to hear people talk of anarchism as a consistent set of ideas when the reason it holds such a special place in my heart is that there were so many different conceptions of it, many of them incompatible with each other. Which conception are you referring to here? Presumably not anarcho-capitalism.

Part of what I'm asserting though is that it would be generally useful to people, because they may be filtering for what others are filtering against. Say that you have a phobia of frogs. You can filter out frogs, but someone researching them can filter for them .

I mistook how AO3 works. I guess I'm thinking more like Tumblr or Flickr. Say it isn't centrally organized. We're just tagging them likes we sees 'em. So someone creates the frog tag because they want to use it and it doesn't exist. Then they tag something because it has a frog. It never crosses their minds that someone may have a frog phobia; the filtering is done by the frog fearer themselves, so it isn't disclosed to bullies who might use it against them, or anyone else they want to keep it from for reasons of their own privacy.

There's still problems here, one person may read `frog` and another `frogs`, mistakes can be made, things can be mistagged deliberately, etc. but I think there's promise to the approach.

If you have resources to recommend on library science, I'd be keenly interested.

Land ownership, as we understand it today, is a government-granted right, not a natural right.

Ownership as a natural right is based on the idea that the fruit of your labor belong to you, and on voluntary trade. The land already existed before humans, so it can't be fruit of anyone's labor. It can't be owned in this sense. Traditional ideas of land control were based on usage, not ownership. If you used the land for something – built a house on it, farmed it etc. – that was the fruit of your labor and the land belonged to you. But if you abandoned the land and it started reverting to natural state, others could eventually claim it.

Freedom to roam laws retain some of these traditional ideas. The owner can only control access to protect their use of the land. If the land is unused, others can roam the land, as long as that does not hinder the owner's ability to use the land in the future.
The ones that own rental properties have no reason to change business models and no competition (like say city-build-and-owned rental apartments)
We took advantage of this back in the mid 90s when we were 18-year-old backpackers from the UK.

We got to Stockholm, looked at the train map, picked somewhere random, and headed off. When it got suitably rural, we got off. (My memory now is of that scene from Trainspotting where they go to the Scottish hills to recuperate.)

We walked a couple of miles down a road and found an idyllic patch of well-kept grass. Might have been a bowls green or something. We pitched our tents at the edge, respectful of the surface. Heated up a meal, had a tea, watched the stars. It was amazing.

The next morning some guy was on a ride-on mowing the grass. He gave us a friendly nod, we packed up, we left.

Is it bad that companies don't innovate on the power outlets any more ?

(BTW, USB standards are up to 240W already, it would be a decent power cable itself alone if not for the fire / power loss / safety / cable size issues that DC causes...)
I think the comments so far are too harsh. The purpose of this document is to lay out, in plan language, what should be the minimum requirements for a small business in terms of cyber security. If there's no place to start, small business won't even be able to try. Following this document probably also will help with legal liability should the company have an incident. If you followed these steps, you're probably less likely to have liability then if you didn't.
All those nations decided to join NATO freely and sent an application. NATO then approved those applications. Those nations are also free to leave NATO again if they want to.

The other side annexes territories of a neighbouring souvereign nation and bombs the infrastructure to rubble with the goal of making the freezing population surrender.

Russia, like many former colonial empires, hangs onto its dreams of Greatness and Restoration. It is up to Russia to find a new befitting place and way for its nation in the international community and history. Many other former empires were forced to do the same.
These kind of laws are called „Schutzgesetze“. Protection laws. Where individual rights are limited to protect individuals from what lawmakers perceive as negative effects.

You are definitely free to your opinion on this. It’s a social difference. I wouldn’t want to have it differently. Otherwise employers tend to force employees to work more than that time „by choice“. (Read: force by peer pressure etc)

The problem with the second part is that contracts have hours you need to work noted in them. If you have one contract for 40 hours and another for 8 per week, without telling either employer about this, you’re likely not committing fraud. Just fireable offices due to the contract disputes you mentioned.

But if you have two 40 hour contracts, either you will have to work 80 hours a week (the lesser offense, and in reality „wo kein Kläger da kein Richter“. German Idiom for „where there’s nobody to sue, there is no justice (to rule on this)“ ) or commit fraud by not working the 40 hours for at least one employer. (I’m talking about Arbeitszeitbetrug here) (Betrug = fraud)

The issue is, generally people in these kind of stories always work less than they should. I’d be majorly annoyed if a colleague fucked me over because he was working a second job at the same time.

Personally, my code of ethics is pretty simple. Be fair. That means I expect my employer to be fair to me, and I will be fair to my employer. So this whole overemployment thing rubs me the wrong way, just as an employer forcing people to do overtime would.

To be 100% clear. I have nothing against sidegigs. Those are also semi-common in Germany. But you should be open with your employer about it and not fuck over your colleagues by scheduling work for both at the same time.
As for your link. They’re talking about the employer side and how to deal with sidegigs. All relevant from what I saw. They didn’t touch on what to do if an employer is lying about his hours worked, unless I missed it.
They are very much correct with the part about being a freelancer being a possible „workaround“. Freelancers aren’t bound to the work time issues, as they aren’t employees. Being a freelancer is more complicated than in the USA though, from what I understand.

As a general point, in Germany working multiple jobs is less common than in the USA, at least from what I can gather from US social media. So that might explain one of the disconnects we are having here.
> We need open and verifiable firmware, at the very least, to be able to trust anything.

How? Even ignoring ASICs, I just don't see how it's possible. Even if you had no binary blobs anywhere (we are already in the wonderland), with process for turning source to binary, you need to trust compiler, cpu, flashing hardware and software and the whole lot of other things.

And that's all ignoring the fact that hiding bad stuff in open source is many orders of magnitude cheaper than finding it.

I don't think we have even a theoretical plan for fixing computer security, it just becomes ML bots arena.
Frankly similar to how I was doing in back in 2018 (when you and I chatted about it on HN lol)

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17944293

The approach I took was a bit different, but also no ML required.

The real trick is pruning and going cross platform. There are around 100k active HN accounts (meaning posts a few times a year), maybe 200k if you count at least one post a year. But <10k that post weekly.

It’s a very small space to try to compare so simple methods will work fine.

>you’re merely fetishising property

I am not "fetishising property", I am merely including property in with human rights. The Self-dermination or Self-ownership principle naturally requires some system of property ownership. One such system is Homesteading, while I do not fully support homesteading as a concept, I do believe in some kind of private property ownership is required for a functional society based on individual Self-dermination, absent that individuals would not have ownership of their labor or work product, and other functions of their lives.

Personally I lean more towards a Geoism model that combines exclusive possession of real property but is not "full ownership" but even under a Geoism model is critical that the "owner" or possessor of the land is given right of exclusion
No. That's one type of slide. In others, the slides are there to present facts rather than numinous concepts. Think of illustrating something in programming: usually you need to show working code, and the audience need to be able to take and modify that specific code. Just talking about a concept is not enough for that specific case. Btw, there are people who hate "concept" slides just as much as you hate "content" slides. Feynman had some very terse comments on bullet points, for instance.

You can ski in the snow perfectly comfortably if properly attired, but you can't bike?

In fairness icy streets can get extremely dicey on two wheels-- no arguments there. The US in particular has a lot more extreme weather than Holland. You'll have extended periods where biking on icy concrete is not a great option.

Processing cache hot data has never been the bottleneck.

Running some search on a file on your 486-with-8-megs-of-RAM running Linux, where the file was in the operating system's cache, was dependent on the performance of the program, and the overhead of reading data from the cache through syscalls.

You can't handwave away the performance of the program with the argument that it will hide behind I/O even if that is true for cache-cold run because cache-hot performance is important. People run multiple different kinds of processing passes on the same data.
Wow. This is insane, it found my old accounts. So throwaway obviously (because I'm a bit of an asshole) but this really is amazing. It also highlighted another account that's not me, but looking through their comments i don't see any resemblance to me either.
The quotes are for the most part about ideas and creativity being stifled by reading, and this can happen to anyone - it's related to the curse of knowledge and the preservation of the beginner's mind.

Reading others' ideas, especially polished ones with a lot of authority behind them, can act as a filter on one's own (delicate, barely formed) ideas. Ideas already have a difficult path into reality, and others' biases and filters are one major contributor.

I regularly choose not to read on a given subject if I have an idea I want to explore or to clarify my own thinking, and only afterwards do I consult what others have said. Usually I wind up in the same place (or a crude version of that) but sometimes I find a new insight and those are worth it!
This is funny to me. "You saying that I enslaved you, barred you from education, and divided and slaughtered your family is actually a subtle dog whistle against white people"
I believe that there might be cheaper LFP, that is why I have written "after a short googling".

$1000 per kWh was the first price that I have found for a 5 kWh LFP battery and I am lazy now to search for a cheaper one, so this is a real price, even if it is likely not the best price.

For a much larger battery, a quick search shows EUR 20000 for 50 kWh, i.e. EUR 400/kWh (though this price is older and now it might have increased). It is normal for the price per kWh to decrease at very large capacities.

Also, the fact that LFP were cheaper than this a decade ago is irrelevant, because googling about their price finds that "lithium prices have surged over 700% since the start of 2021, which has led to a big jump in battery pack prices" (written in May 2022).

However, Na-ion batteries for solar energy storage have certainly already hit the market, e.g.:

https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/SUNPOK-48V-5kwh-Sodiu...

EDIT: After an extra search, I have seen an offer for a LFP 5 kWh battery @ $2000, so it looks like the $400/kWh price is available for lower capacities too. Nevertheless, this price is less reliable than the higher prices seen initially, because it is only for some kind of pre-order with unknown delivery time.
Unfortunately cheap lithium ion batteries literally carry an expiration date. Few years and you operate on fraction of capacity and it's getting ever harder to replace the cells.
One thing people tend to miss here is that 2021 was a massive hiring year across the board. The layoffs in 2022, while regrettable, are something of a correction from that. The number of ICs just at Google alone is still massive.
I keep no alternate accounts, but this tool reports best matches for me that appear to be Slavic or just Russian - and I am Russian. Best match score in my list is just above 0.5. There are some clearly alternate accounts on the list, their match scores with this tool are well above 0.7.

It is probable that persons of same cultural origin will have similar writing style and vocabulary. It is also probable that persons of same cultural origin would have same relationships with the world as a whole, they would like same things and dislike other same things.

So, in my opinion, it is possible that you have found not only alternate accounts (score above 0.7), but accounts of people with same cultural origin (ones that are around 0.6).
It was a classy move by jsnell, too. Thank you.

I used Scrivener for a while. I switched to Vellum, which I like much better.

What was the decider? I wanted to have "drop caps", that cool feature where the first letter of a chapter is 3 or 4 lines big. The forums for Scrivener suggested some very complicated ways to do it involving CSS. In Vellum it's just one of the styles. Silly, but it's my book and I wanted it.

Vellum also seems to know publishing conventions better (the half-title page, the copyright page, About the Author, etc.) They make your book not look so self-published.

I'm not trashing Scrivener, though. It's a good product.
To a point. You cannot go lower than base cost, and can be made irrelevant by sheer volume.
Do you believe that AI / machine learning will play an increasingly important role in future technology? Because if so, Python is the go-to language for such work. Sure, some of that is due to human factors and not just language features, but Python makes AI and scientific computing easy and that work will influence Python’s development and vice versa.

Personally, as long as I have a good linter, I prefer JavaScript for general purpose programming but there are some areas where other languages just dominate.
