I don't think that's true either? Obviously the FUD angle means that it Makes Big News when EVs burn. But gasoline cars burn all the time.

Look, if there's evidence for battery safety issues then let's discuss it. But there isn't. There are millions of EVs on the roads now. Can we even name one accident where someone was injured by an EV fire? It's just not there. This is wrong. What you're repeating is wrong.
They're a "wristwatch component manufacturer"; so presumably they need much smaller quantities than a car manufacturer.
VR capable computers are quite cheap. Cheaper than a low spec apple macbook pro running m1. For 2-3k you can get a beast of a machine running everything on real high settings.

The tell that investment advice is bs:

Is this person rich and successful solely or in large part just from their investments?

Where's the proof?

Very few people are billionaires from investing.
If Nassim Nicholas Taleb is such a great investor, where is his hedge fund? He's a writer who sells compelling books, nothing more!

As Paul Graham states, billionaires build.

Warren Buffett is the exception that proves the rule, and even he says "Just toss your money into an index fund."

If the richest (and therefore wisest) investor in the world is humble enough to admit that it's a (nearly) impossible game to win at, then who is Jim Cramer?

Hedge Funds delenda est.
By not procreating because of environmental harm, people are seeing the earth as some sort of goddess that will be protected by the death of humanity. This is absurd on so many levels. Earth is a ball of matter and it doesn't care about them.
We converted all our projects to Poetry over a year ago and don't have any major complaints. Also nice moving all tool configs into a single pyproject.toml file.
It's not only for the poor. An immediate phase-out of fossil fuels would mean instant civilization collapse and billions dead. Not being able to grow and transport food, not being able to process raw materials, nothing that requires plastic, etc.
Also chiming in here, it's not a big deal at all to call someone "dude", because this isn't a formal debate, it's just a web forum.
Tax optimizations.

I have no problems with this, legit things can be done under charitable umbrella, and we should be thankful for the donations.

(Massive paintings of oneself on oil canvas notwithstanding ... ahem ... Mr. 'President')

But it's the insufferable populist hypocrisy of it all!

Please let's just talk and report about it for what it is. The press might even want to use the term 'NGO' where applicable, irrespective of the PR spin of the non-profit 'charity'.
This reads like a hit piece, and a poorly executed attempt if so. This is standard practice and not uncommon. If we’re going to excoriate billionaires for putting their name on a foundation, shouldn’t Gates, DeVos, and others also be held to the same scrutiny? The article throws in an SBF comparison simply because both parties support the same brand of altruism.

Yes the link I posted mentions that.

> Currently, U.S. law prohibits flight in excess of Mach 1 over land unless specifically authorized by the FAA for purposes stated in the regulations. The two supersonic rulemaking activities would not rescind the prohibition of flight in excess of Mach 1 over land.
>The fact that this is attempting to specifically target one account is exactly why it's so badly written. It's trying to walk an impossible line of "Elon wants no censorship, but he wants this censored".

Yup! That's why I even mentioned that it was clearly hastily written in an earlier comment. For what it's worth, I think I share your sentiment, re: Musk/freedom of speech. It's hastily written because it's reactionary and, assuming Musk/Twitter can ever actually get their house in order, I'd anticipate that it will be more clearly written into the terms over time. But in spite of it not being written clearly...

>re: your edit; find that statement in the "full policy" link at the end of the thread. It's not documented there.

... I've still managed to demonstrate in this comment chain that I was able to understand the intent of the poorly-written "full policy" link, based on my assertion yesterday followed by the confirmation Tweet that I shared this morning. And I'm fairly certain you did, too.

This comment chain is feeling incredibly cyclical, so I'm gonna bounce.
Donating $5.7B to save an absolute max (37% tax bracket; he's probably much lower with most income via capital gains) of about $2.1B in taxes doesn't make financial sense, unless you've got a plan to siphon off at least $3.6B tax-free out of the charity. Why do people think a $1B donation saves $1B in tax?
Interesting points. I also agree that discussion revolves around thought rather than position. Debate is healthy but healthy debates are rare in this context.

I would argue the ideal mechanism for interaction (or affordance) is the ability to communicate, engage, and prosper across boundaries. I believe this concept is what made the early Internet so inspiring. We were hopeful and ambitious.
How does the tax break work? Don't you still have to pay income and/or capital gains tax on everything that goes into the fund minus a pretty small amount?
That's like saying "we're making it less performant and more fragile on purpose"
I upvote articles solely because I want to read more discussion from HN members on it. If I like an article and it doesn’t have many comments I’ll upvote. If it does, I won’t.

I upvote comments either because:

1. I didn’t see it get enough discussion and want to read more, same as articles

2. I want to “bookmark” the comment and come back to it later either as a reference or to read follow up discussion

I rarely downvote except for comments that seem to be flame bait or something triggers me on a primal level
> My personal favorite is Microsoft discouraging local Minecraft servers with the rational that anyone could type anything on them! Who knows what you and the people you explicitly allow on your server might type!

I do understand where they're coming from, it's brand safety 101 - they don't want to risk the PR disaster from incompetent parents coming into their child's room and seeing n-bombs dropped into the Minecraft chat, leading to the parents shitstorming Microsoft for not moderating the chats when Microsoft for once isn't responsible for not moderating.

I think that legitimate fear is also why so many games removed self-hosting servers. I can remember from the UT2004 days that there were a lot of questionable things said in online chats... obviously sexism, but also lots and lots of racism and antisemitism.
The written rules are here: https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/twitter-rules

There are written rules about inciting harassment and posting private information/locations without express approval. Ignorance of the rules shouldn't excuse people from following the rules.

It's not whataboutism to point out that these policies existed previously, and that if there are any differences at all it's that the rules weren't always applied for this violation previously. The fact is, certain Twitter accounts used to get a free pass -- I feel like the modern adage "when you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression" applies.

(Do I believe what I'm saying? Basically, it's one way of looking at things and I think that while this interpretation of the rules and their application is unproven and counter-narrative it is a viable argument that I expect Twitter to make as the new moderation team grows.)

Before clicking on this, I expected to see import-linter [0] which achieves something very similar but with, in my opinion, a bit less magic. Another solution in a similar spirit is Pants [1], though this is actually a build system which allows you to constrain dependencies between different artifacts (e.g. which modules are allowed to depend on which modules).

To Sourcery's credit, their product looks much more in the realm of "developer experience" -- closer to Copilot (or what I understand of it) than to import-linter. Props to them for at least having a page about security [2] and building a solution which doesn't inherently require all of your source code to be shared with a vendor's server.

> We found that most wetland areas of the world were exposed to warmer and wetter conditions in 2020 than normal years ...

... leading to greater methane growth.

A central reason for concern by geoscientists about human C02 and the boiling frog scenario is that slow rises in C02 eventually lead to warmer wetter conditions and then a subsequent positive feedback increase in water vapor and methene .. which are even better heat blankets than C02.
You're by definitions giving it away.

I’m sure at least 75% of you guys in here are stronger technically than me. And 99% of you have probably seen more success in their careers than I have.

But I’ve been building little throwaway code experiments for the last three years and its totally doable.

I haven’t seen a regular paycheck since March 2019 when I was fired from a Director of Engineering role from a firm so shitty and a job so toxic I actually do think I have PTSD from it. Ironic given that my first job out of college was chasing warlords in Bosnia for the US Army in the 90s and helping the UN investigated mass grave sites.

I’m poor enough that when I finally went to the VA to get benefits for my injuries from 20+ years ago, they actually put me in their homeless abatement program and I now live in Section 8 housing in Austin. And it’s actually pretty great.

We’ve had 60 years of Moore’s law. At this point you can totally stuff the entire searchable internet on 4 good size hard drives (75-85 TB compressed) and 1 to 2 Gbps pipes are everywhere. And folks globally are rightly freaked out about a world driving towards totalitarianism and hungry for a change.

I’ve been trying out various approaches over the last three years but have zero attachment to any ideas I have on the topic.

But clearly this won’t get anywhere with just me or others sitting in our living rooms knowing that it’s fixable.

I think you're confusing me with someone else, I only edited the last comment once to add that "ie." addendum, so I'm not sure what's getting disjointed.
Well, I hope someday HTMX will be HTML6.
No blame; I'm observing, not condemning. Your phrasing does make me question, however, whether you think individual choice amounts to anything, considering we all form parts of systems.

That was an amazing machine for its time. I remember it well. In those days a laptop was a luxury, I was a computer science student and only 1 of the fellow students I knew had a laptop! We just used our own PCs at home and the computer rooms with PCs or X Terminals.

I wish I had one of these. I guess finding one is even harder than restoring it.
Higher GDP just means more wealth concentrated in the hands of a very few, while the costs and consequences continue to be externalized to the poorest.

"GDP per capita" is effectively a lie, when the wealth is so unevenly distributed. In that light, it's hardly a metric to maximize.
Some people did this in Western Australia in 2016 (using a SmartRider, which is also Mifare Classic based). They gained $18 worth of free travel. The backend system flagged the modified card. Both were charged and convicted of hacking and fraud.

I'm not a battery expert, but I have looked into Na-S before. While it's a great rhetorical bludgeon in arguments about what batteries can do in theory — we'll never run out of sodium or sulfur — actual costs of Na-S installations are consistently much higher than lithium or other battery types. For example, this review cites a present system cost of over $400/kWh:

https://www.mdpi.com/1996-1073/13/13/3307

A new scientific development can be cool, but it won't directly reduce costs, since it's not actually an industrial process. A lower operating temperature might simplify construction. But all that remains to be seen.

EDIT: if you read the original paper in TFA you will find that molybdenum, an extremely rare metal, is key to the cathode, though only at 1.2% by weight. Interpretation unclear.
it only doesn't make sense if you plan to individually spend that money on yourself. However once you have billions of dollars it becomes relatively difficult to spend that much on yourself. Therefore it becomes a place to spend money enacting the change on society that you want to see.
> Market share will continue to decline until wayland support is added, no matter how great any new features are.

It might be that they are not interested on "Market share". Or they are but not enough to justify the work. I'm sure they would be glad to accept a pull request.
I am naturally wired as a procrastinator and what I do to avoid it taking over my life is define limits around it. I set a goal that the task must be "started" in X hours or days depending on the need. I think less about defining when it should be completed as that tends to drive my procrastination. Defining tasks in terms of starting instead avoids triggering my procrastination.

Usually once I start a task the desire to procrastination abates.
Understand that everyone suffers from some degree of this and the world up to this point was still built on procrastination. “If it wasn’t for the last minute, nothing would get done”

Oh no! Not houses surrounded with shrubbery! When will the madness end?!
> It will also lead to questions about the copyright of the resulting models

I very much doubt it. Within the Movie business, the ownership of "digital assets" such as 3d models, who keeps what, and what they can legally do with it, is the subject of long and detailed contracts between the film studio, VFX houses, subcontractors etc. Ownership is well-covered, if not exactly "clear" if you're not versed in the law regarding it.

A third party using any technique (AI included) to re-create a look-alike of such an asset, and to monetise this, would surely attract the "eye of Sauron" of the big studios to turn it's withering gaze upon them, and to send out a well-armed detachment of lawyers.
Isn't that idea the same idea that google tried and failed at?
Interestingly enough, when I was working with JavaScript and PHP, this was very common. Companies that like to "own" their employees, remote work was seen as bad, flexibility was zero. Then I moved away from the mainstream tech, and I no longer have any of this. I'm now treated with respect, I get paid well, I'm 100% remote for many years already. It's funny how companies take you for granted when they can replace you within a day, and treat you well when they can't. That's why I recommend people to take up something that isn't done by a lot of people.

Oh and, as an Estonian myself, I do not recommend e-residency. If all you want is a company, then the e-residency is one of the worst ways to go about it. In terms of cost, flexibility, taxes, etc.

This feels like the natural outcome of Moravec's paradox[1]. I can imagine a grim future where most intellectually stimulating activities are done by machines and most of the work that's left for humans is building, cleaning, and maintaining the physical infrastructure that keeps these machines running. Basically all the physical grunt work that has proven hard to find a general technological solution for.

Domains are super cheap and easy to get. Everyone should have one (especially anyone who calls themself a hacker). Ideally you would also self-host your servers, but having your own domain is the most important thing, because you can always change your hosting provider, whereas it is impossible to go back in time and rewrite all of the links to your old (now deleted) medium.com blog. "Owning" a domain just means you get to route DNS lookups for that domain to any IP address of your choosing, which can be your own IP, Amazon's IP, GitHub's IP, or any other IP.

GitHub Pages (or GitLab Pages, if you prefer) will host your website for free. You don't even have to know HTML to make your site look fancy, just basic Markdown; GitHub will run your Markdown files through the Jekyll static site generator by default (this can be disabled by adding a blank ".nojekyll" file to the root of your repository).

Assuming you have a GitHub account and that you only need to serve static (HTML/JS/CSS) files, launching a site with your very own domain name is as easy as:

1. Buy a domain from the registrar of your choice

2. Create a repository called "<yourusername>.github.io" and a "index.md" or "index.html" at the root

3. Go to https://github.com/<yourusername>/<yourusername>.github.io/s..., select the "master" branch as the publishing source, and enter your domain (excluding the "www.") under "custom domain"

6. Go to your domain registrar's website, and find your DNS settings. Create four "A" records pointing to GitHub's IP addresses: "185.199.108.153", "185.199.109.153", "185.199.110.153", and "185.199.111.153". Create a "CNAME" record pointing "www.<yourdomain>" to "<yourusername>.github.io"

Then if GitHub decides to block/censor/ban you, all you have to do is switch to a different provider (or potentially self-host). If your registrar blocks you, you can transfer your domain to another one.
I think is true the org can hint at you the company culture, but an IC to manager ratio of 5:1 is just too many managers IMHO, and without really knowing the manager's responsibilities and quality, the ratio won't tell you much in itself.

I think you were downvoted because the ratio hardly tells you anything conclusive about the qualitative aspects of the org that are more important. Getting to know the org chart definitely helps ask questions that will reveal the culture during the interview though.

I would love to try XFCE on Wayland. I used to love that DE, but I haven't been able to stand uncomposited Xorg in a decade (running xcompmgr is not good enough).

Why is that a bad thing though? Multiplayer shooters existed before the modern rent seeking paradigm. And they can exist afterwards too. The only thing we would lose is that particular parasitic business model. Not everything should be legal.
Habit. Stop looking for motivation to drive you. Sometimes it will and sometimes it won't. There's a pretty common saying that motivation is a result of doing stuff. You just do it whether you want to or not. I know that's simplistic but that's really all there is to it. Easy to understand but harder to implement. It helps me not to think too far into the future and break stuff down into daily goals so I don't get overwhelmed.

No one is motivated to do stuff 100% of the time. Do you think superstar athletes like getting in the weight room and doing cardio everyday?

I think a lot of the problem is that modern life allows people to have this attitude when it wasn't an option in the past. No one used to care about whether they wanted to do stuff because if they didn't they would die.

> HOAs are great and necessary for maintaining common property

There is a fundamental, qualitative difference between rules and obligations for maintaining common areas, versus private ones. That for some reason both fall under the "HOA" term only confuses the discussion - it's not "a communal organization calling itself a HOA" that's the issue, but its intrusion on private property.
This is a truly cynical take - but by your own account the problem already exists and is widespread before AI even came along.
