We’ll the cost isn’t just the racks

You’ve got to deal with permits for the structures. Installation. And then you have to do lawn trimming around all the racks. This can save on all of that.
Surprised how few of these answers involve automating revenue, mostly selling continued labor

Currently the best I've made is from iOS apps with little to no server backend, or async server-sync'd offline-first local DBs tolerant of downtime to minimize on-call requirements. I make money through recurring IAP, and offer student etc. discounted rates without any verification to capture more sales. These apps grow organically when I don't put time into them actively.

The medical establishment bring on a lack of trust due to their close ties with pharmaceutical companies who's aim is to simply make profits from the "medicine discovery of the day", no matter the consequences.

If the medical establishment (doctors, scientists, researchers, etc) took no funding from pharmaceutical companies, it might help their position. Taking funding from companies that have way too often been found of wrong doing, just poisons people's view of the whole system.
I've had quite a few:

1. Selling domain names. This was when I was in college and somehow traded my way into mid-high five-figure domain names. I turned over $100k in profits in a year, and then 2008 happened and all markets collapsed.

2. Starting a D2C brand. Shipping is automated via a third-party provider. Sourcing is easy since I have a very reliable supplier. All marketing is through word of mouth. I get around 300 orders on Amazon monthly, some 100 on our website, and land the occassional business order that gets me around 2,000 orders extra per year. Not a huge money maker, but pays my mortgage for practically 2-3 hours of work/month.

3. I ran an informational website about music production (I produce as a hobby). Somehow, a few of my articles became popular and I landed a ton of good links. Google loved my website and I was pulling in mid four-figures in affiliate checks every month. That went on for years even when I stopped working on the site.

I might have to join the discord, that first link is extremely satisfying, and the shading on the materials in the 2nd one does a great of giving the feeling of the 3rd dimension without the computational complexity. Thank you for sharing
maybe one reason is that it's far cheaper to do touchscreens than a bunch of individual parts and circuit boards? And EVs are already pretty expensive and need to be competitive, so maybe they try to cut costs where they can.

Add to that, I'm sure some market research is telling them either touch screens are popular, or that it's not a deal breaker for most people
Usually playback will be locked to a hardware clock, typically the audio clock. This does mean that the audio clock and frame clock will drift over time, as they're not locked to each other; it doesn't matter how accurate the clocks are, they will drift. This is one source of dropped/doubled frames. It's possible to sync to the video framerate instead, of course, though audio desync artifacts tend to be more noticeable and objectionable than video ones. You can handle this by dynamically measuring the clock drift and variably resampling the audio, but this is relatively complicated and computationally expensive. Generally this type of drift isn't too noticeable, these clocks are usually well within 100ppm, which would result in 1 frame slip every few minutes.

The issue with framerate mismatch is a fundamentally different one, in that it's not a synchronization problem. It's the result of a non-integral ratio between display frames and playback frames, and exists regardless of clock source. So it's the harder of the two to deal with, and is worse in magnitude too at several slipped frames per minute with e.g. 29.976fps vs. 30fps. In the classical approach, this simply results in frames getting doubled or skipped, since it's not tracking the video rate at all, it just asks for the display to be updated at its frame-time, and the display system will either get a chance to show it or not. The slightly more refined approach is to play back at the closest integral ratio (e.g. play 29.976fps video at 30fps on a 60fps display), and resample the audio to match this new rate, but again this is computationally expensive and complicated.

> And Id throw a boat load of money at defining a stable DE framework that resolved the kde gnome schism once and for all.

Even with a boatload of money, how would you go about this?

Write a shim lowest-common-demoninator API that can target both (like wxwidgets)?

Theme them to look like each other (like Qtcurve)?

Extract more and more individual concepts that can be collaborated on and shared (like fd.o / xdg-shell)?

I think the key problem is the proliferation of incompatible object extensions to C (C++ vs GObject and also Objective C). Porting GObject to C++ (like Gtkmm) is the most developed direction, the alternative of porting Qt to C/GObject (make all GObjects implement QObject or vice versa?) has not even been tried AFAICT.
I love how many comments here are, "I have no domain expertise, but these seem like nitpicks".

If a user provides feedback like this, listen. Getting this sort of detail from a user about design decisions is invaluable. They know the ergonomic setup they need, what works and doesn't, and they will have insights a non domain expert simply can't.
If they can’t afford a $400 emergency then they aren’t going to be losing that much interest, like $16 bucks a year.

If they have a small cushion of 1k to 5k, then they should definitely consider keeping their retail bank but also opening a high yield saving. No switching banks needed.

The shortage of Raspberry Pi's is going to be their undoing. Everyone in the circles I travel (3D printing, Hobby CNC, Self-hosting, cyberdeck, plotters, etc.) are looking for replacements. There are quite a few contenders, and more recently lots of folks are grabbing thin clients (then installing Linux).

My thought process; In a silo, the raspberry pi isn't all that spectacular and needs a lot of do-dads/thing-i-majigs for even basic functionality. Power supplies and real HDD/SSD's for Rpi's can be a pain point. There are cheaper and better alternatives imo. What makes the Raspberry Pi so cool is the community and ease of use due to said community effort. If that community coalesce around another platform, the rpi foundation will be in big trouble.
It's not a good reason, but it cuts down on part count and assembly time (and complexity).

I wonder if OP may have accidentally mistaken his belief for how long it would take for how long it would actually take (which varies by approach, and most approaches are not yet known because that which one does not seek tends to not get found).
this rant reminds me of many similar things I've read about products that were designed by people only had superficial experience with the industry they are trying to disrupt.

I've had similar experience with silly old web development.

I spent a week sitting down with actual users of the web site that I was so proud of and watched them use it. Oh, man did that hurt.

All the "telemetry" in the world will never prepare you for actually watching real people at work and talking to them.

It completely changed the way I build web sites.

The Tesla designers should spend more time in truck cabs, shadowing actual truckers. Based on this Twitter rant, it should be illuminating.
It's kind of both. I experienced this with Advent of Code, the other day where I had a vague idea of the data structure I was trying to work with, and the approach I wanted to take to solve the problem, but I started banging into errors from the compiler. I had to step back and take a moment to think about exactly what I was trying to do and what that meant for the model I was using.

My approach wasn't wrong and it likely would have worked on my first shot in Python or C# or something, but the fact that Rust cares about ownership meant I had to think about it too, even if I only really did that after the compiler pointed out that there were some issues.
After that story (yesterday?) about someone being locked out of GitHub when using “sign in with Github” I was curious about this on. If you select “private” it requests permissions to change your profile and add / remove followers.

Claims that everyone will start developing in the cloud instead of locally seem about as likely as crypto currency replacing fiat currency.

> Tablets. I drove a modern Mercedes truck with tablets and it's pin in the arse. Tablets are simply not designed for use in moving vehicles. You need a physical button, so you can reach for it even without taking your eyes off the road and feel it. (10)

This is a KNOWN issue. There's very very little upside to any sort of touchscreen in a moving vehicle. And while in normal cars they move units because features over functionality is acceptable, trucks aren't status symbols first. They do, at the end of the day, have to do the job they're designed for efficiently, and things like this are clearly just "trendy" not practical.
Thanks yeah we really like your project as well. We chose the react/nextjs ecosystem because we found it to be more developed and widely use than flutter. Which gives us benefits to be able to wrap more libraries either in our pynecone framework or make a third party component library.

We thought about adding web socket and are still debating. The latency here is not from our framework though its from our server getting slammed with hacker news and reddit from our launch lol. We found the overhead of sockets not worth to for the majority of our apps.
What makes you think they are retired?

Business when you have unlimited money to your name to deploy is very different than when you are starting out.

For any self respecting man the process of doing press is a pain in the back. You see it in every domain ranging from sports to music to movies.

Ranging from Aaron Judge to Wayne Gretsky they will all tell you the same, the absolute hatred for interviews and doing press of any kind, but they are employees and the front office of their Franchise is forcing them to do so.

Once you are a billionaire those dynamics don't apply anymore, you don't have to convince bankers or venture funds or investors or the public anymore. It's a one man show and the only goal is to keep morale high among employees.

Maybe, but trucking is a low-margin industry. If the "fuel" savings are even half as big as Tesla claims, there is going to be a strong incentive to switch to this truck.

Suddenly, the warehouses that refuse to switch are paying more for shipping via ICE truck... that is their choice of course, but I don't want to hear any whining about how unfair it is.
Not sure how I feel about the branding on this. It's not an official GitHub project, but sort of looks like one. I'm sure it's completely innocent, but I don't want to login to it.

What with the story yesterday of a GitHub user logging it a service, then having their account suspended, I'm a little nervous of this.

The "public access" login looks ok, but the "privet access" login is asking for almost full control of your GitHub account...

I suspect GitHub will ask them to change the name of this, at a minimum.

(If I wanted to phish a bunch of GitHub accounts, I think this looks like a good way to do it)

I don't understand what issue you are going to. I haven't installed Widevine.

I'm extremely disagreeable, most people do things I think are foolish/detrimental to the general good/philosophically bad. We all get along regardless. The idea that Google does something I don't like that doesn't affect me is not ideal, but is usual in all my relationships with any entity you care to name.
I can't speak to anyone else's experience or interpretation of depression or suicidal feelings, but here's what I've come to think of my experience with them:

The experience is literally overwhelming. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by fear or overwhelmed by anger or anxiety you can relate to the idea that a simple rational list of the situation calmly spelled out doesn't shake the chemical, emotional, biological experience of it all. Depression/suicidal thoughts just operate on such a longer, slower, methodical time scale.

Yea, you can list all the reasons you should be happy (and that can help ... Sometimes. Or Eventually.) but it doesn't shake that you just aren't. And the that "make you feel depressed" — personal conflicts, life circumstances, jealousy etc. — well sometimes it's just what you fixate on when you're feeling that way, but not exactly because of it.

It's a strange experience and I'm thankful I've had years of distance on the other side of all of that.

> Why should she not trust the doctor that knows our family medical history and has taken care of all of us for, in the case of our children, their entire lives?

Because that sounds ridiculous. Unless the allergen that caused your wife's allergic reaction is in the vaccines then there's no additional risk.

Consult with an actual immunologist specialist who has a deep understanding of the physical mechanisms behind allergies and can properly weigh the risks from the prior allergic reaction and the risks posed by vaccines.

The idea that your GP somehow is better informed than a specialist through having been with you all your lives is very poor logic.
Oh, that's interesting. And I guess if they do manage to break a few panels, they can be replaced cheaply. Its probably still cheaper than dealing with racking.
Adding to this, there are employers who do what they can to ramp up the coercive aspect. This happens mainly in low-wage jobs where there is lots of usually low-quality labor. The usual dynamic is to seek out job hunters with family or other commitments to employ, and then constantly threaten them with all the people who apply. Make them feel trapped and precarious by threatening their ability to feed kids, and that can go a long way.

Obviously, the legal system no longer supports outright slavery outside of prison, and the tactics and conditions are consequently less severe than historic chattel slavery in the US.

But the opposite conclusion - that all labor is voluntary - has to use a specific sense of the word 'voluntary', more similar to the IRS definition than the picking-from-a-menu sense.
Seems plausible. It would be awesome if AWS had a publicly accessible metric to plan around this, do you know of anything like that?
The page is Devine's personal wiki. Lots of fun stuff around, including notes on uxn and other assorted stuff.
Regarding the article, nothing I was going to say involved "perceived restriction, limiting personal freedom, and potentially taking away a right people are used to."

Who cares if they do 3 trips a day, it's not like they won't need to stop and unload on each trip. Beds-in-cabs is really only a thing for long haul truckers. There are tons of vehicles used for trips of the length that the Tesla Semi is for that don't have beds, and nobody would expect they would.
I wonder how they manage drainage and surface flooding?

Image of robot on panels: https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3b0818_1667facfc56e475e8f...

The image also seems to show water damage in the corner of the closest panel.

At a guess, they target areas without heavy rainfall, and fast draining soils. I didn’t see any drainage works in the video https://vimeo.com/556421759, nor did my google-fu help me find anything where they address the issue.

Edit: from https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/solar/erthos-rakes-in-1...

How do the installations perform in the rain and snow? “Our hydrology report proves that an Erthos plant is almost the same as native soils with respect to accumulated water depth and velocity in rainstorms. All of our designs include professional civil design that includes water runoff management and containment basins as per the jurisdiction’s application of building code and other local requirements.”

What about flooding? “The glass/ glass modules and the connectors we specify are all rated for submersion, so flooding is not a catastrophic event in case it does occur.”
"were Hunter Biden dick pics..."
This is a completely false representation. The laptop provided clear and direct evidence of the Biden family influence-peddling scheme with lots of shady people, and notably America's primary geo-strategic competitor, China.
Hunter Biden, with zero relevant experience, was pulling in millions of dollars purely on the basis of his father's position.

Hunter Biden's business partner, Tony Bobulinski, has stated that Joe Biden was the effective chairman of the enterprise and was present at multiple meetings (Joe Biden lied about this). Tony Bobulinski also mentioned to Jim Biden (Joe's brother) he was concerned about some of the things they were doing. In reply Jim smirked and commented about "plausible deniability".

To try and pretend the son of a US president can do this and this is not significant or not deserving of any further investigation is absurd.

I think you've just been getting your news from particular sources and have a very limited understanding of the situation. (As I've said before, the media is garbage).
> Never leave money in your processor account... they are not your bank!

Reminds me of crypto exchanges too. Don't leave money in an exchange, use it to, well, exchange money, then move it to your bank account or wallet.
Presumably the plan is for them to be high enough relative to the surroundings that the water runs off rather than pools.
Trucks tend to have lots of idle time - truckers like their comms and climate control to work while they’re waiting to get loaded, for one.

Also, you might have a local truck used in more than one back to back shift.
> However, building the WebRTC component is not trivial. It requires a lot of system resources, downloading many gigabytes of source code, and the process uses some Google-specific build tools.

Ouch. I wonder how much of that is actually necessary to implement webrtc though, maybe a lot of it could be trimmed out? If the standard really is that complex, it's a pretty strong argument against it.
This kind of censorship is nothing normal dang.
> you get a a lot around noon and then very little.

That's a little harsher than reality. You get a very pretty bell curve. I have a flat panel on the roof of my RV and I track the output over time. I'm not 100% how much of the loss in output is because the incidence to the panel is changing, or because the light from the sun is going through more atmosphere. Probably a little of both, but in any case the panel is still plenty useful even when not pointed directly at the sun.
> The SIGSALY terminal was massive, consisting of 40 racks of equipment. It weighed over 50 tons, and used about 30 kW of power, necessitating an air-conditioned room to hold it. Too big and cumbersome for general use, it was only used for the highest level of voice communications.

And now I can whip something similar in one afternoon, and run it on my phone. Nuts.
Open source or open synths is a pretty arbitrary category that few are rushing to compete in because most musicians don’t care how hackable their instrument is.

According to their financials, Roland are doing fine: profit’s down for 2022, but this seems partly related to a very profitable 2021. Can’t find any financials for Korg on their website, oddly enough, but when it comes to synths at least they seem to be competing only in the mid (Minilogue vs e.g. Boutiques) and low (volca vs new Aira trio) range. Korg doesn’t have any flagships any more and have few products in the DJ/production category. They’re apparently also 1/10th of Roland’s size…
Hmm, I didn't know that. Thanks! When I watched Apple's video on passkeys, it seemed to imply a phone was needed.
