Gasoline sold in California is “different” than gas sold elsewhere in the country. I don’t remember the details exactly, but I think it has to do with carbon content.

There’s also the issue of high gas taxes there as sibling mentioned, but I remember that something in the refining process is also a major contributor.
There has not been a Democratic majority on the court in the last half century, and it is unlikely that there will be one for another half century.

There could have been one a few years ago, but a judicial nomination was held up for over a year, on blatantly partisan grounds. They all know that they were appointed for partisan reasons.

There are some very partisan cases appearing in front of the court and it is worth considering whether they will act in a partisan manner. There is reason why to believe that they have, and will. It should not just be up to the minority party to call for impartiality.
Correct, the plan is to scale to that level but currently is not doing that. The current L1 (Ethereum Mainnet) + L2 combined TPS can be seen here https://ethtps.info/

Important to note that Ethereum embraces the idea that L2's will provide a lot of the scale and L1 will remain the base, main layer of security. So the goal isn't for L1 to scale massively, but to be able to support a healthy ecosystem of secure L2's which scale in different ways!
The Avalanche PoS mechanism is a lot more straight forwards. I prefer its aesthetics.
The real problem right now is you can't unstake any eth you have staked. The developers promise it's coming soon, but personally I wouldn't stake any until then.

Those who are incentivized not to fix it.

Seriously though, most laws these days are bought. So, you'll need money, lots of it. Maybe a 100K or so to start with. Probably a couple million at the end of the day.

> but your payroll for 60 developers will be like 15 to 25 million dollars.

at 15 million dollars thats 250,000$ TC on average which is at least double the cost for the vast majority of the world.

€3,600 in isolation isnt much. but if you include the figma license, the intellij/visual studio license, the git(lab|hub) license, the windows license, the sentry license, the office365/gsuite license, the 1password license.

well, you get the idea. it becomes a large percentage of a headcount cost at some point. its death by 1000 cuts. especially for europeans or even worse: middle eastern devs

It's not CSS, but for cases where it makes sense to export assets (e.g. SVGs or PNGs) Sketch has squircles as an option for corner curvature on roundrects, calling it "smooth corners" (v.s. "round corners"). As far as I can see Figma does not offer this, but I am not well versed in Figma so the option may just be hiding in some obscure panel.
Obviously the GP comment was worse, but you also have been breaking the site guidelines repeatedly lately, and not that long after we banned you following countless warnings over many years (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33153801). I was willing to give you another chance, but since it hasn't worked, I think we have to ban you again.
As one of the comments above you suggested, the overton window has shifted. And that's precisely because states have legalized it at the state level. It has become more normalized and more accepted, and it's federal legalization has earned more support because of states legalizing it. The further we dive into states legalizing it, the more pressure is put on the federal government to legalize it precisely because of these grey areas.

Because we've reached this point, you're not going to see someone come into the exec seat and target weed. It's just not going to happen. The cat's out of the bag and it's not going back in.

So yes, things have changed in the grand scheme of things. This is progress, even if it's a fucked up legal grey area.
I've seen these videos/live streams over the past few months. Its very effective since it looks like an official live stream. And unfortunately it seems like YouTube algorithm promotes these which gives an impression that its "official" as well.

Only if you live in a country with “long-term fixed rate pre-payable mortgages” - i.e. only the USA and maybe Denmark[1].

Inflation can also screw the equity value for home owners in the US because in the long term house equity value is very roughly inversely related to mortgageInterestRate -- that occurs because house prices are driven by how much people can loan for a mortgage, and maximum mortgage loan is limited by f(personalIncomeAfterOtherCosts, wholesaleInterestRate + bankMargin, futureIncomeStreamPrediction).

Living in New Zealand which all mortgages are variable rate (approximately), I can say inflation really screws large mortgage holders here.

Venus is also a thing. But agreed, (intentional) terraforming will be a good idea at some point. Disagreed on CO2 being the right way to do it; the sun was dimmer 60 million years ago. You can't feel your way into a solution here, you have to do the research and the simulations. You also can't optimize for a genetic milieu that no longer exists. Think of the biosphere as a large and highly redundant CHON pump, where the redundancy is at the population (not individual) level. This pump can function under various climactic conditions but its capacity and robustness depend on the population genetics available on the ground (sea). So the important part of the system is made of information not matter. We literally do not have the information we need to replicate cretaceous conditions, nor do we have a way to get that info at present. Therefore we should continue to cultivate the interglacial genetic repertoire, which is still available to us. Large changes to the system should not be allowed when we do not understand systemic risks and do not have rollback ability-- this implies extreme measures should be pointed at maintaining stability rather than inducing phase change.

I don't know what primary production looks like under different climactic regimes so I can't speak potential to end states, but they all occur long after our deaths so our worst case will be bounded by short term inflection where risk beats adaptation and primary production "temporarily" crashes.
This is not true. Let me quote the UK's Head of Civil Justice:

6. The theory is to dispel the myth that blockchain is a fringe technology used only by those wanting to risk their livelihoods or possibly make their fortunes on volatile cryptoassets like Bitcoin.

7. The blockchain is now at a stage in its development equivalent to where the internet was in or around 1995. The internet was unstoppable in 1995 and blockchain technology is unstoppable now. It will become ubiquitous in all major industrial and financial sectors, simply because it allows for the immutable recording of data, thereby reducing friction in commercial and consumer transactions and obliterating the scope for dispute as to what has occurred.

8. As the Master of the Rolls and Head of Civil Justice in England and Wales, I hold an office that pre-dates modern trade in derivatives and reinsurance, even steam engines, powered flight, and certainly the internet. I am particularly and obviously concerned about the reputation and development of English law and the jurisdiction of England and Wales.

9. Many people do not realise that English law governs trading in €600 trillion of OTC derivatives annually, in €11.6 trillion in metals trading, in £250 billion in M&A deals, and in £80 billion in insurance contracts every year – just to take a few examples. My hope is that English law will prove to be the law of choice for borderless blockchain technology as its take up grows exponentially in the months and years to come.

That’s what a democracy is. Democracies aren’t nicer places to live because our politicians are nice people. It’s because our interests happen to align with those of politicians. It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.

Most of these tips are not truly about survival, and reasonably so given the lack of any practical experience in most people, but surviving just long enough to be rescued. The unstated implication being death is not far off.

I don't know about the clients, but I've worked with a few ex-LL people and heard nobody really likes what the protocol became, and also lots of core parts of the LSL execution model they regret.

Except prices in The Bay Area are already down ~10%, and the rate of monthly decline is increasing.

Seattle, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and most of the boom towns outside of Florida are only a few months behind The Bay.

A ~20% decline is going to more than wipe out all inflation adjusted (real) gains in almost all markets.
I think you have to remember to apply marginal thinking and consider sampling bias.

At the margins, the people who move away are the ones who were already unhappy with “issue x” but had not actually left.

Now that “cost of moving” decreases, or “cost of staying” increases, the cost/benefit of moving becomes positive for those marginal residents, but stays negative for those that love where they are.

Clearly plenty of people don’t find it to be unlivable, indeed it’s still objectively ($/sqft to buy) one of the most desirable places to live in the country even despite the problems.

This is also completely consistent with small towns seeing a large influx of people fleeing CA; it doesn’t take a high % of the most-populous state leaving to make a substantial difference in all of the small desirable towns.

I do agree that the remote trend needs to be followed closely; it’s great for senior engineers at big companies, but I wonder if startups and juniors at large companies are soon going to realize that mentoring and rapid collaboration is really hard remote, and we’ll see the pendulum swing back a bit. Or maybe we will solve those problems and the agglomeration effect of the Bay Area fully dissolves.

Remember that Visa transactions are not equal to Bitcoin/Ethereum transactions. A visa transaction is just a promise of payment at some future date, probably. That's why they can have such a high rate. Bitcoin and Ethereum transactions are settled cash in your wallet. Apples and oranges.

Bitcoin has the lightning network based on Bitcoin smart contracts that can do Visa-like rates of Visa-like transactions. I don't know if Ethereum has anything like that.

Hardly, you don’t know anything about how difficult it is to do what they’re trying to do. For all you know it’s a crop that essentially grows itself and has a huge market demand so selling is easy. Your experience in unrelated small businesses in another country has very little bearing.

It's now been 0 days since the last "Help! I've been locked out of my account!" story on HN. These have been going on for years and years[1]. The solution is for individual people to stop relying on services that don't have customer support to host critical things. This is now a well-known failure case for free cloud services. It should not be a surprise.

Contact a direct-to-farm coffee distributor like PT’s Coffee and ask them if they know anyone who can help you evaluate and manage it or sell it to a co-op. At the very least, they will find it interesting that you thought to ask them :)
Awesome! Unfortunately the public story is not really that great, actually. There's a single maintainer doing most of it (@lopsided98) and we rolled our own based in part on his work, which we in turn open sourced in October for a ROSCon talk, but are not able to maintain in public long term unfortunately.

So it's doable for sure, but for most mere mortals, Ubuntu LTSes are definitely still the lowest friction path to working with and deploying ROS.
Maybe if we examine your life situation, we will find some social efficiencies too - maybe its not socially efficient to spend police resources protecting your neighbourhood and your in particular from robbery and violence.
I host my own email on a DigitalOcean server using Mailu. Works great and allows me to receive *@mydomain.example.com, which is super useful for generating throwaway emails on the fly for different companies. If they send me spam I block the entire address, and it's easy to see phishing attempts because they come in to the wrong address. It's definitely not trivial to set up and maintain but I recommend it if you're into self-hosting things.

I meant the numbers you quoted. The site you link to does have some numbers on pretrial detention, and by the looks of it drug-related offenses there too are a minority of those jailed, but a sizable one. They're careful to list various caveats, so let's not overinterpret the numbers; there may be overlap or overcounting; and if you're trying to discern possession vs. other drug related offenses surely that's yet another wrinkle which a cursory skim doesn't answer anyhow.
> why isn't the output enough? Developer X's solutions are solid, developer Y's solutions tend to need bug fixes for the next 2 months, who is performing better? Why can't a non-technical manager do that too?

How would a non-technical manager know that? By examining the git commit history? Or having the team tell on each other?

And if developer Y's work tends to need bug fixes, it might be that he usually works on a more difficult class of issues. How is the non-technical manager going to understand that?
Brexit is just the most prominent mismanagement by the British government. It is just the most prominent failure. The people in charge have not used their newly gained independence to improve their country. Brexit is just a distraction from internal problems. Even with Rishi Sunak it doesn't sound like anything has changed, it is business as usual.

It would be better if people who don't want to vote were offered the option of sortition, basically just pick random people from the population, it would be better competition than any career politician or popular entertainer.

Wasn’t Windows back then dependent on vendor supplied device specific display drivers for anything above basic VGA? There wasn’t a real standard for “SVGA”, and the VBE stuff wasn’t that well supported early on?

> Humans drive with our eyes and we’re pretty bad at driving.

I disagree that humans are bad at driving.

Let me ask you this, how many miles would a fully autonomous self-driving car need to drive without a fatality for you to be able to reasonably claim that it's statistically a better driver than a human?

And feel free just to round to an order of magnitude here. 2.75 x 10^z <-- what is `z` here?

In 2013 in the US there were 32,719 crash related fatalities and 2.3 million reported injuries. So that must mean humans are bad a driving right? Well those numbers are tiny compared to the 3 trillion miles that humans drove that year.

Humans have about 1.09 fatalities per 100 million miles driven. The probability of a human causing a fatality for a mile driven is low: 0.00000109%

To show to a 95% confidence interval that a self-driving car is better at driving than a human it would need to drive 275 million miles flawlessly. This would require a fleet of 100 vehicles driving continuously for almost 13 years.

As a "senior" engineer, I believe it is my responsibility to code review as much as possible. It's the best use of my advanced knowledge outside of doing the occasional complex tasks.

As a manager, I would see my main job to, in this order 1) keep as much of the non-coding tasks off my ppl's plates, 2) code review when needed, 3) type actual code, 4) remember birthdays.
I agree with you here. But we aren't talking about my actions, we are talking about how to cultivate a larger collective action. I completely agree with you and I specifically mention Gates because he is a big climate advocate. I don't believe that any of the information he is spreading is wrong or even misleading, but that his actions often don't align with his speech. Though I will admit that there is a nuanced discussion to be had here given that he substantially invests in climate research and technologies to decarbonize the world, but I also wouldn't blame anyone for thinking he's a hack given that his personal footprint is several orders of magnitude above the median American (which is even higher than the median Westerner). We do have a current culture of defeatism because it looks like you can just buy your way out of all this. But if you are making the argument that actions speak louder than words, I'd fully agree.
Do bother with this stuff, it's super helpful and helps you understand your mistakes. Writing C without using sanitizers is like playing a game on hard mode, even for simple programs (especially when you're still learning).

Good. I love the features they have but you can't say it's not false advertising. Most people I know assume my car drives itself, which is not true, even when I was on the beta.
It's a bit of both. We're pretty bad at minimising basic errors driving (at least until you consider we as a species spent a billion or so years of evolution travelling <20mph and generally picked up handling a vehicle in a few hours in our late teens) but so strikingly good at handling the sort of edge cases where people are at particularly at risk of death I'm not sure collision avoidance AI will catch up despite all its speed advantages.
If you are interested in running what is referred to as a 'solo' validator, it isn't that difficult if you already have some linux sysadmin experience. There are several good guides around setting up the physical hardware, the node software, generating the validator key(s), making the staking deposit and then running the validator.[1][2][3]

Then there is a very helpful community called EthStaker - they have a subreddit at r/ethstaker and a discord (invite should be available in the subreddit).

If you want something a little more automated, Dappnode is a well regarded web based front-end and the Rocketpool node stack makes things very easy to be an operator for their pool using a TUI.

There are a lot of options, with a wide range of requirement and capabilities.

The reasonable answer here, unfortunately, is to sell it, for reasons that others in this thread have pointed it out.

The article is a bit dumb. “The Fed” (the Federal Reserve board, that is) knows what the inflation rate is and how it has been changing over the last five months and, of course, will consider that in it’s interest rate decisions.

I like the off-hand assertion that the fed causes most recessions. As if “they” have strong control the economy but are just too dumb or corrupt to only make the numbersgo up. Kind of embarrassing actually, for a “think tank”.
