Land costs are still generally irrelevant for solar as in well under 5% the cost of this install and you can recover that after at the end of the panel lifespan.
I bought 20kw of solar from China that arrived this year, the quote I got for installation was about what I paid for the whole system. I'm thinking about just installing it myself.

In my experience, Midjourney has been so much better than Stable Diffusion at anything game related that it’s absurd. It might be worth trying that.
How much do you think the total absence of engine noise compensates for the additional distance? Also there could be less attenuation inside the cab if there aren't many soft surfaces to absorb the sound.
Now you're just making excuses. In the USA at least, there are still small parcels of fertile land available very cheaply in isolated rural areas where no one else wants to live. Look for places in Alaska or Appalachia. If someone wants to live the 18th Century subsistence farmer lifestyle then it's totally possible. Get off the Internet and go live your dream.

Get the offer. Ask if they're flexible. If not, take the industry gig. Unclear what a doctorate does in industry and if you're thinking about academia, then you should do academia 100%. It's fucking grueling.
It's not particularly surprisingly that a venture capitalist thinks monopolies are cool
ADAC's measure includes the cost of the vehicle itself so that number is completely inappropriate for the actual operating costs. Also ADAC has been called out as wrong and having biased testing many times: https://insideevs.com/news/456957/bjorn-nyland-charging-loss...
On mirror vibration, my personal experience is that a lot of it is contributed by the diesel engine, at least on the freeway / at idle. It is really obvious when you're cranking it. The proximity of their mounting point to the engine bay doesn't help either. IMHO the axle-mounted motors are gonna suffer less from this particular cause, but maybe the bad roads will make it worse regardless.

A related point is "E-mirrors". The regulation is not there yet in the U.S., but apparently they are in Europe [1]. I think they have the potential to be _more_ safe than traditional ones, despite the glare issue at night --- for example taking advantage of the low-light HDR capabilities. Also, their FoV don't shift around as the driver's head does; this may be both a pro and a con.

[1]: https://www.greencarcongress.com/2019/12/20191214-mirrorcam....

Also, had they made the driver's seat slideable left-to-right (e.g. with 3 locking positions) it would solve the problem of not being able to hand something over the left window ;)

Although my kids get allowance, I have always forbid them from spending it on digital purchases, knowing that it’s typically like gambling and will only encourage addiction in the future. However, I will allow them to do additional chores to spend on digital items that arent gambling related - Fortnite skins etc. and we will let them get a small amount of electronic funds for Xmas and birthdays. Overall it’s been successful. We talk about why it’s foolish, and they seem to appreciate the efunds more when they have to do hard chores.
I'm not sure that I understand your point here. He was there for the Cascadia program almost 20 years ago. It had plenty of problems on its own, but I don't think there's doubt that he worked with a traditional trucking company. They had plenty of relevant experience on hand.

Per unit of panel surface area, not per unit of land area. If the sun is coming in at an angle, you'd be able to collect all that's available with less panel area than total land area by angling them (or equivalently, in this new configuration you need more panel area than you otherwise would), but in their estimation, it's cheaper to just get more panels than it is to buy and install racks.

The difficulty in having conversations reduces the tendency for people to get caught up in the cycle of reactive response. Were to introduce response notification, the engagement metrics would rise, but so would the number of fights. Given that HN isn't incentivized to increase engagement to sell ads, posing such an impediment isn't clearly tied to a dollar valued opportunity cost and therefore easier to swallow.

Payment processors are low-margin. It costs interchange fees and scheme fees to reverse a transaction, it’s not free.

I was going to ask the stupid question "why bother with special lenses to introduce unsharp parts if you can just destroy details in software still anyway" but I think I realized the answer, in case anyone else has that question also: introducing it later depends on knowing which parts were further away. Pictures (typically) don't have depth/distance information for each pixel.
Yes, we know. FSD is coming and there will be a million of them driving autonomously next year.
If it really "sucks", you'd probably see incident rates go up, meaning down time, maintenance costs, legal issues, even impact on the public image. There is a point where bad mood and annoyance of a troubled work force become a serious inconvenience.

Locking the message so nobody can reply is a nice touch.
I completely agree with this. Yeah, it's not like they don't work at all, it's that they work to some degree.

And, yeah, I think a lot of devs would agree that the traditional waterfall is not as good a process as agile. You could say that it's an antiprocess, whose basic idea is that the old inflexible waterfall with its overly structured teams is inefficient. Yes, small, tight-knit teams working closely together and iterating quickly is much more productive, creative and rewarding way to work.

... although, in my humble opinion, the one thing that agile really needs to stress more (that is key in the waterfall) is requirements. A (couple of) dedicated rounds of requirements where you talk with users (and stakeholders) saves a ton of dev time - agile does have requirements, but at least in my experience, devs seems to gloss over it.

My question for you is, has any of it been “substantiated”?

Because so far I haven’t seen any ruling, fine, or confirmation from any governing body.
The Bay Area features several unusual and distinctive microwave sites, far different from the modular construction normally used by AT&T. Part of this is because some of these sites were relatively early ones, part is because of local zoning requirements, and part is because some of them were originally built by GTE. Perhaps the most interesting is the Oak Hill site, which I believe is nearly unique, with just one other of a similar design.

The Redwood City site is interesting in its own way, as I believe the building below contained the Redwood City tandem at the time prior to its elimination in favor of a single, very large 4ESS tandem at Oakland. It was not very typical for tandem switches to be colocated with large microwave sites, usually being end offices on the microwave network with only two antennas (tandem offices are typically in large cities so AT&T often used a "city and junction" pattern where the tandem office, named for the city, was an end office on a short leg from a large microwave site on the outskirts of town named city junction). The exceptions tended to be in highly urbanized areas where space was difficult to obtain, or a few odd cases like Mojave where an end office grew over time into a gateway site.
It's helpful in learning nearby languages. I am a native English speaker, and my French can approach fluency given some immersion (it's pretty rusty right now, though). DuoLingo helped me improve transactional Spanish and Portuguese (BR) very quickly, meaning I can get through airports, grocery stores, restaurants, and read news articles. I'll need something more to have free-ranging conversations or read novels, though.
Just high enough to be a total bullsh*t scam, just low enough that it'd be easier and cheaper to pay them instead of sue.

Easier said then done, but if you choose to sue them over this you have my respect.

Ask HN: How to implement payment and other for one person SaaS
What would you recommend to do for one person SaaS in order to minimize amount of time spend on things such as:

- Payments. I don't want to spend time on registering in different states, sending tax return, and want to us a company which covers it for me. Stripe obviously won't work, since it's not a merchant of record. I have heard good things about paddle, but are there any other alternatives?

- Accounting. I want it to be as simple as possible. As far as I see, the easiest one is the pass through LLC.

- LLC. Does it make sense to incorporate in Delaware, or use my home state (I am in NYS).

If you have a single person SaaS, would be nice to learn how you handle all of the above.
I skip all of the pronunciation parts. Hell, I sometimes do call center implementations that do speech to text (Amazon Connect with Amazon Lex) and it doesn’t understand my native English southern accent. What chance does DuoLingo have?

But occasionally I do use iOS’s built in Translate app and test my pronunciation by speaking Spanish and seeing if it can translate it to English.

Going the other way is about 95% effective for me.

Every registrar does this. Premium names get premium fees, either in initial payment, or for the renewals. Most likely the author just didn't know that renewals can be significantly more costly when they bought the domain.

The end result you see in the VR headset, or the games/worlds arn't really the goal.

AI, and VR tech don't pay out right now. But AI is rapidly developing and Meta is one of the leaders in AI research. We could easily see chatbots, Alex like things, or even manufacturing and disability assistance. Or robots and image classification. Skies the limit. The thing is with this tech, the killer product doesn't even exist yet, and probably isn't even a thought in someones mind.

The goal is to make it so when the killer product does arrive, all the R&D they've invested is able to allow them to become to dominate leader. The same also applies to VR tech and the interfaces for VR. It's not a consumer focused field, but their R&D is worth millions, and when it comes time for the killer product, they'll have it, or be able to smother the one who does.

And this honestly makes sense for a company like Facebook. Their golden goose is dying. Facebook won't churn out money. All the legislation against them is killer, and they know it's a market propped up by easy VC money where almost no social media company makes money. So why not invest the all their billions into future tech we'll see likely playout in 5-10 years, where they will then be able to completely pivot to that product. It's the long game.
RFC-WAFFLE-1: A waffle recipe RFC written by ChatGPT

I think tactile controls should be those things you would want to change while driving:

* Climate control heating/ac/defroster temp up/down fans higher/lower

* windows up/down

* signal left/right

* windshield wipers

* volume up/down

* audio basics (next track/previous track)

This allows you to keep your eyes on the road and rely on muscle memory to make the changes quickly. It's an important aspect of auto safety. Things like gps route selection, loading music into vehicle or configuring playlists can be done with touchscreens as these are complex tasks that are unlikely to be done while driving.
So long as you're content with some random crazy image, you can get fancy stuff pretty easily with Midjourney V4. Getting specific details correct, however...
> the Mozilla side seemed to jump too low level too quickly

This is literally my only complaint about MDN, and it’s only a complaint when I’m in a hurry. The sprawling body of standards MDN documents are almost all fairly low level and intended as such, and MDN mostly does a good job of balancing the low level details with good boilerplate examples. I can’t say how this is for extensions on any version, but if the MDN docs continue apace I’d be surprised if they don’t at least adequately answer this “should” as shortly behind a stable spec as anyone could wish for.

I wish XML-related tech was such a hot documentation commodity… guess I better contribute as I go :)
Center seating is a better option for 99.99% of the time spent in the truck. And the vast majority (nearly all) of toll booths have toll tags. It's baffling that people think the 99.99% of a product's use should be dictated by the 30 seconds of paper handling that occurs a few times a day.
Michael McFaul absolutely trounced Mearsheimer on the Ukraine issue. The forum may feature more conservatives than liberals, but the result is not a forgone conclusion. This is evidenced by 30+ point swings in recent debates, where both the liberal and conservative position have prevailed. I encourage you to reconsider your assessment.
It's all a composition and image-bashing game with Stable Diffusion.

A better strategy here would be keeping the same seed and then try adding 'dock' phrases to the prompt. Then image-bashing what it gives you over the first one. Image-bashing here basically means putting it in a new layer in GIMP over the old one and erasing the parts you don't want. It's really great with seed alternates because the two images will be very similar.

Inpainting is good for stuff you don't want the viewer to look at. If there's an errant shrub in your desert picture[0], you can inpaint it out. It almost never works for faces, heads, characters or any other focal object. The new depth stuff might fix it, but inpainting generally just doesn't have a good sense of how to orient things in the scene.

Who said physical buttons cannot be mixed with voice input? Most physical buttons these days are just an interface to the CAN bus, where the function is performed (in software) in the BCM and can easily interface with the voice module.

"Improved" is an interesting term. How much improvement can you make to climate control buttons? Their function in most vehicles has not changed in 30 years and are largely the same aside from styling.

I feel like we just had this conversation two days ago, with the Amazon driver that has to use a touchscreen to open the cargo door in his new EV delivery van. Another ridiculous design courtesy of SV. Maybe the Juicero engineers found a new life at the EV manufacturers.
> You charge what the market will pay, not how much it costs to produce.

Though don't be surprised if you lose a lot of goodwill if you offer a low introductory price, and then maximally gouge at the moment that the customer is trapped.

Sorry friend, but I don’t think these change after the fact.

If you paid $12 the first year, it would have been labelled as a discount, with the renewal price being listed separately. It’s crappy and misleading, but it’s not retroactive. I sometimes explicitly filter out “discounted” TLDs so I don’t get distracted by listing like this.
She was one of the chief architects of NCLB, so on that basis you'd expect her to support high stakes testing and VAM. But obviously she's completely changed her opinion since the Bush era, largely based on the academic research that has been done since on the effects and effectiveness of those policies.
.sexy increased their price from $25 to $2500. For now, domains registered at the old price can continue to renew at the old price. But they could easily cut that off at any time.
Learning git is the cheapest way to get faster at coding. First get a good grasp of command-line git and of the git workflow (dirty working directory -> staged index -> commit code), and then use git diff to see how your code changes from one commit to the next (or between the staged index and the previous commit, or just looking at one file, etc.)

If you get your git diffs from one commit to the next to start looking concise and clear, maybe one working function added per commit, one block, one small class etc,, then you can start coding pretty quickly, because you're adding in discrete chunks, testing as you go, and you don't get lost trying to do too much at once, you can quickly switch back to the latest working version, debuggging is much faster, etc.
Planned.

A series of large postwar explosions were carried out including one in Australian tropical rainforest to test theories for clearance by nuclear explosion. Some of them seeded the explosives with radioactive markers to test dispersion. They were smaller than this I believe.

I have always wondered if the truly big explosions are too big and leave behind materiel which was ejected, and did not slow combust. Ignition is sometimes hard.
The CMO’s conspiracy theorizing is comically out of touch:

> I think what we’re looking at is a dogpile that’s being organized somewhere. There’s obviously a Discord or a forum somewhere. I don’t think this is organic […] I think there are people out there intent on perpetuating a culture war on Mastodon. And I’m not sure their motives are necessarily benign.

They really don’t understand how bad it looks to celebrate police surveillance? Of course there’s organic backlash to that. We must live in different worlds.
You forgot the Amstrad GX4000 ;)

That and the SAM Coupé were kind of ridiculous, looking back, being so massively outdated at the time. In the UK, both were obviously worse for games than even the Atari ST, which was already starting to get shown up in that respect by the Amiga. (And the writing was on the wall for Amiga games too, thanks to increasingly impressive bitplane-unfriendly ALU-heavy PC games, and the SNES. And Windows 3.1 - which was actually turning out to be useful, no matter how janky - was attacking every other platform on the productivity side.)

The Amstrad and Sinclair markets kept going in the UK until 1991 or so, likewise the C64, as the machines were everywhere and so there was still a market for the games.

8-bit Acorn games dried up in 1990 (after probably last being a proper going concern in 1988 at best), but they kept producing the hardware until the early 90s because of demand for it from schools. (I have a BBC Master as part of my collection of crappy old UK 8-bit computers from the period. Manufacture date: week 47, 1989!)

Back in the old Zortech days, my partner wanted to offer a great deal to new customers.

When I'm a long time customer of some business, I get a bit miffed when new customers are offered better deals. So I talked him into giving the great deal to existing customers, and new ones get to pay full price.

It worked out rather well!
