I cannot remember where I read it but the gist essentially was that you are either mastering the software or the software is mastering you. It jives with what you are saying.
With some exceptions, at all levels of incarceration, inmates are able to refuse medical care.
> "Calling the police is totally an emotional response."

We're going around in circles, but all I'll say is that you could say that about anything. And yet people sometimes end up in prison for stealing candy.

If people won't file reports - all deterrence is lost, and there won't be any incentive for the other side to change. If the mechanism exists, why not use it?
It could do with a link early on to some docs about what a recogniser is.
Wouldn't the panels be the same pitch as the roof, so you'd reduce the footprint there as well?
We got a house in San Diego near the bottom of the last market (2012) and I was a medical resident at the time with two school age children. The previous owner had installed electric everything (even had to get a larger trunk line run and breaker panel). So our electric bill was a little nuts, randomly hitting tier 3 pricing and landing $350+ electric bills. For a household with negligible marginal income, that was unpleasant. We had 0 capital to play with but switching to solar was a no brainer. Even the lease is cheaper than paying PG&E.

Would I do it that way again? Probably not. But I have more wiggle room now.
I don't think it's that. OP seems to have a CMS (LucentCMS) and some sites using it (eg: kritikos-sm.gr) load images from a sub domain (eg: images.lucentcms.com).

While the CMS website receive normal visits and serves HTML content, for Cloudflare it's being used mostly to serve images, breaking their ToS. If the customer website was behind Cloudflare and they used their own (sub)domain to serve images they'd probably be fine because that domain would be serving a healthy mix of HTML and media content.

I think both OP and Cloudflare are in the wrong here. OP was using the wrong product for this and Cloudflare didn't give him time to fix the problem, losing a customer in the process.
Yes, that's what you see in the commercial side, where demand charges based on your highest peak usage in a month are common. However, they are un-intuitive and easy to generate big bills for small amounts of power used, so I agree with the general idea that they're not a good idea for residential users.
The pricing is absolutely disconnected-from-reality wild.

At worst a junior associate at $BIGFIRM would review a document of that length with an understanding of issues specific to your situation, governing law/locality, etc for somewhere around $100 AND this would include a redlined response with suggested edits, annotations, any questions, etc.

A local, friendlier more SMB or startup catering attorney/smaller firm would likely look at a bunch of these for free or close to it.

In short the pricing needs to be at least 1/10 what it is currently so it can (at best) serve as a novelty, a basic filter to a series of potential agreements, etc.
I currently own a Tesla, but for my next car, I want to resist a Tesla, but I probably won't be able to because Tesla will be the only person offering the car I want.

I bought my Model 3 Performance because I wanted ripping fast 0-60 without breaking the bank, both in purchase price and economy. I can afford more now, and I'd really much rather drive a smaller 2-door, but the only option I'd be able to afford is a Roadster 2.0. Nobody else makes a high-performance EV coupe that's still in the low 6-figures. The Rimac Nevera is just way out of the question with its $2M price tag.

As far as reasons I want to avoid Tesla:

- Fit and finish concerns. My M3P was flawless, but I've seen people order a Model S Plaid (Their top-end $140K car) and it was riddled with glaringly obvious issues. I don't want to spend $200K on a Roadster and then still worry about potentially rejecting it at delivery because of finish issues.

- Elon Musk has grown to be a real piece of shit, to be quite blunt. I don't want to be associated with him if at all possible.

- I don't like where Tesla is headed with UX. Removing the stalks in favor of touch-sensitive buttons on the ~~wheel~~ yoke is not good UX.

- I'd like to simply avoid using such a controversial brand.
> Being a "jerk" might strike me as an acceptable trade-off if that meant it got targeted impediments out of the way without irreparable damage to the whole

What does this even mean in the context of the story from TFA? The "impediment" was one of his employees getting a competing job offer, and the "irreparable damage" was...having to actually pay someone as much as they'd be valued elsewhere? That's not a reasonable way to behave, and masking it in impersonal language doesn't somehow make it more reasonable.
To save others a click, this is about artificially starting the birth of a baby, not about a 13th-amendment prison slavery complaint. Which is similarly vile, but another topic.

> "They induce us all now so that we don't go into labor in prison."

I'd be curious what the power structure looks like between the prison medical staff and these women's primary care providers/obstetricians. At some point, a small number of women will need advice from a doctor that if they haven't begun labor naturally, they should get it induced. But definitely not universally 39 weeks, and definitely not to someone who primarily answers to the prison rather than to the patient.

Inducing every pregnant woman for scheduling convenience is a terrible human rights violation if you place anything close to a reasonable value on the health of the mother and the baby compared to the convenience of prison guards. The baby will be ready when the baby's ready, an inability to schedule that to something tighter than a 3-4 week window is just a fact of biology that the state needs to accept.
Sinclair begs to differ.
I’m told that Industry gets charged not by how much current they draw but by how much it distorts the grid power waveforms. In fact there are experimental designs out there for power correction facilities that delay the waveforms by for instance 90% of a wavelength (so everything lines up again) and convert the delta to DC to store in batteries. The battery power can be used for their own purposes or to reinject in low voltage situations.
The book "Boys Adrift: The Five Factors Driving the Growing Epidemic of Unmotivated Boys and Underachieving Young Men" by Leonard Sax goes into a lot of detail behind some of the underlying problems causing this.
You say "low skilled" but many of them have university education. I do not think that is the problem at all
This is the "reverse Conway's law" that some others are referring to, and I alluded to. I've had success doing it in small places here and there. I'm yet to convince a management organization to do a really large-scale reorg because of some major pathology, though. Though I haven't tried often, either. Really just once. The costs are automatically so high for such a proposal that it is difficult for mere engineering needs to get to net-positive because it's hard to prove the benefits.
Prisoners have rights to be treated humanely, and generally that is understood to include personal autonomy with regard to medical decisions.
In my personal experience marijuana only makes depression worse. It can make it more bearable in the moment and treat minor anhedonia, but at least for me it only bolsters my unhealthy habits which in turn makes the depression worse. I don't think there's any evidence that it can lead to long term remission. It's the neuroplasticity provided by psilocybin and ketamine that really helps.

I think psilocybin is promising, but doing it when you're depressed can put you in terrifyingly bad places. I think in the long term psilocybin and ketamine will both end up being valuable tools in combating treatment resistant depression. My guess would be that psilocybin will be used more in clinical settings with a guide and ketamine will be something you can do at home and talk about with a therapist later.
Do you think different types of mushrooms have consistent qualitatively different effects? Or is it just varying levels of potency?

Are all the differences due to the ratio of psilocybin to psilocin? Or are there additional molecules that are psychoactive and vary between types?

I've seen a lot of online debate over this question - some believe that psilocin and psilocybin are the only two significant factors, the only differences from this ratio is onset time (one converts to the other in vitro), and all perceived differences between strains are subjective (i.e. people are falsely overgeneralizing their experiences with particular strains).

On the other hand, many seem convinced there are significant differences between types, which to me would indicate there must be additional molecules having an effect.
That's generally right for cubensis, except that variation from fruit to fruit is generally greater than the variation from variety to variety. A notable exception is so-called Penis Envy, which is established to be significantly more potent in psilocybin and psilocin content. That variety also has an interesting origin story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRArM5Ev4EE

Other Psilocybe types, such as semilanceata, azurescens, and baeocystis, differ in that they have more or less of other compounds such as Baeocystin, which some believe have psychoactive effects.

Many people report nonlinear responses to psilocybin/psilocin dosages. For example, 5 grams of dry cubensis is more than twice as strong as 2.5 grams. So it's understandable that stronger varieties have qualitatively different reputations than weaker ones.
I'm surprised nobody has written a thriller yet where a new mathematical algorithm is found (maybe something to do with primes?), all encryption suddenly collapses, and with that we go into a psuedo-apocalypse where nobody is sure whether anything is authentic anymore. Banks can't share cash, ID systems are useless, we've still got electricity but no functioning internet, hardware root of trust is shattered...
Show HN: Freelancer Salary, calculator to match full time salaries
My #2 in a string of websites I'm trying to make this year.

When evaluating freelancing offers, I found myself writing a little script that did the math on how much more I'd need to charge.

Days off, self employment tax, health insurance.. lots of factors.

This simple web calculator does it for you.

Let me know if you have any feedback or additional factors I've forgotten to add!

Ah, good point, I forgot about Jacksonville, LOL.

Of course thanks to the "Florida man" law the whole state gets a fair amount of negative attention.
>you have a substance that you know, for a fact, a certain proportion of the population will abuse, to the detriment of both themselves and society at large

The problem is you can extend this to all sorts of things that people abuse. Sugar, video games, alcohol, caffeine, etc. The solution is not to put people in jail and ruin their lives, its to educate them on the risks and to provide solutions to get help when needed.
>I used to blog, and to be honest, I am embarrassed of about 90% of my posts.

I think that is the beauty of thinking publicly. You actually realize that you are an idiot. If you only think privately you never get any feedback, chance to reflect and cognitive biases are kicking hard. That robs you of the chance to ever improve.

> This prompted South Korea to develop their own cryptographic solutions.

I've had an opportunity to interact directly with Korean security culture in my time working for Samsung.

I am sure there exists more secure examples out there, but I saw some extremely bad practices like trivially-reversible password shuffling used throughout the entire org. Anyone with access to a certain manufacturing database and knowledge of a particular stored procedure could immediately reverse all passwords and typically use them to go sideways into other engineering/facility systems.

They always seemed substantially more interested in the theatrical aspects of security than focusing on any first principles. Lots of time was spent talking about reactionary crap like a fleet of hardware ARP sniffers installed throughout the network. Not a lot of time was spent talking about PBKDFs, system boundaries and determinism.

I think microservices are fine for businesses which have a general idea of how 'big' things could get with respect to their platforms. But if you're more in a company that has many one-off programs, scripts, and the like then maybe microservices aren't a thing that you need. Better organization is good, but that shouldn't be just a microservices thing, everyone benefits when you've organized not just individual projects and their source code but also just organizing what does what with external documents that can be updated to explain their purpose is useful. There's nothing worse than looking at source code or an program by name only to ask, "what is this thing?"
Funny.

As soon as I read your comment I went there, I clicked on "I'd like to speak with someone" on their chat popup and have been waiting for that all morning, i.e. they don't seem to care much.
Hm, while I understand what you mean about where the actual energy goes, my understanding of how the costs are accounted are that there isn't any separate metering for "electricity out" vs "electricity in".

The Solar out actually runs your meter backwards, so does actually reduce the amount the meter shows you owing to charge you at the retail rate. There is no metering present to make it possible to charge you for the 100kwh you used at one rate, but then you pay you for the 100kwh you generated at a different rate. The electricity you generate runs the meter backwards, and reduces what you are charged for consumption -- which monetarily means you are "being paid" for it at the retail rate.

But if your meter goes negative in a given time period, they can tell at the meter you actually generated more than consumed, and could pay you out a different rate for that. (Or as OP notices, in some places, they allow you offset your use, but don't actually pay out for net negative at all. )

This is why the metering is called "net", it's your "net" use, consumption minus generation. I believe that's how it works for my friends here in Baltimore who have solar panels.

Are there other places in the USA where they install more sophisticated metering capable of separately metering out and in, and charge different rates for it?

Or, anyway, since we're talking about California, if anyone wants to clarify how it actually is going to work in CA, rather than speaking in hypotheticals based on our theoretical understanding of how things work, that would be even better!
So what do we do with people who simple refuse to pretend that transwomen are women? Is that even a bigoted position in your mind?

We still need to make sure transwomen get prostate exams, but we would never instruct women to do so. We still need to check women for ovarian cancer, but we would never instruct transwomen to do so. Yet when someone has a position as reasonable as "you do you, but no I am not going to call a transwoman a real woman" - isn't it in fact intolerant to try and shut that person down by calling them a bigot or a TERF or whatever?
Being a ward of the state doesn't make you property of the state and doesn't mean that doctors all of a sudden can act against the best interests of their patients, both of them in this case. Really, this is revolting at every level and if you don't see the problem then that too is a problem.
"but the result [of men's rights subreddits/etc] is not positive"

For me, it was positive. When you're going through personal hell, there's a lot to be said for having others in the situation to commiserate with. Do many of the guys there sound like jerks? Sure. Maybe they even are--or maybe they're just blowing off steam in the face of a horrible situation. I think it's often the latter.

One side effect of carefully banning forums that (truly) support men is that we're left with an environment where most places that might seem to be "help" are actually dedicated to gas-lighting and castigating men in this situation. This has created a vacuum where some rather dubious looking options are actually the best available.

May the gods bless my MRAs and the guys at my local dive bar. Without them, I wouldn't have made it.
I’m glad you pointed this out since this is not clear in the web site.
Are your jobs portable, either remotely or by virtue of being in demand in most places? If so, you could easily take a leap into a lower-tier (in size and/or stature) city. You're right that anything comparable in quality is in fact likely comparable in price as well.

I personally moved from a tier-1 major metropolitan area to a tier-3 small city, because I found that I stopped caring for the "big city amenities" that made living in the former worth it despite all the pains in the ass. I'm quite happy with my choice.
It's bizarre to automatically cancel all meetings even if it is just company employees involved. Yes some meetings are pointless, but that doesn't mean all of them are. People are just going to waste more time setting them all back up again.

When the state makes bad decisions for its wards, that's a human rights violation. Prisoners are humans who are wards of the state.
So you actually did get benefits of HODLing BTC, no? When it comes to crypto, I see people conflating 3 distinct buckets - a hard asset like BTC, legitimate projects like ETH and scams. Scams outnumber the first 2 buckets, but the first 2 buckets will provide more growth than stocks or bonds over the next 10 years.
I fondly remember playing this game. I think I got it off one of those CP Verlag magazines-on-disk.

So prisons can do whatever elective surgeries they like on their inmates? Why not do lobotomy on trouble prisoners? Sterilize all prisoners to avoid new pregnancies? Tattoo their prison number on them? Prisons could get some extra revenue by signing their inmates up for dangerous medical trials that drug companies are having issues recruiting for?

Dystopian.
I host DreamDaddy on Cloudflare Pages (like S3), and use a Cloudflare Worker (like a lambda) to email myself contact submissions. Cloudflare is free and "just works" -- I have not liked my hodge-podge experiences with AWS, especially for simple projects.

That’s a fancy way to say carbon tax, which I agree with but also recognize has been turned into a political landmine.

Also I thought PG&E still had the reverse situation, of people voluntarily paying more for green power.
Unexpected?!

Either way, one of my biggest pet peeves is the near-ubiquitous use of HTTP & JSON in microservice architectures. There's always going to be overhead in networked servies, but this is a place where binary protocols (especially ones like Cap'n Proto) really shine.

You don't quite get the Big Five personality trait. It's poorly labelled, I'll grant. But "disagreeable (big five sense)" and "disagreeing with people" have no correlation I am aware of. I am also not aware of any studies showing that disagreeable people are more likely to voice their disagreements in a group setting.

> Would you similarly discriminate against anxious people?

As a bomb-disposal tech? Yes. As a cashier? No. Similarly, would I discriminate against a disagreeable person as a manager? Yes. As a solitary programmer? No.
What fascinates me is that companies obsessed with KPIs don't seem to independently count unfixed issues.

Firewalling customer support behind another company or division is okay, but at least make sure you have a parallel feedback mechanism to know how they're doing!

Social media support seems like the shitty version of this, but it's not rocket science to be able to regularly independently audit a random subset of issues by your CSR contractor. Internal audits have been standard practice in similar healthcare scenarios for decades.
But he didn't LOL.
> edge computing surveillance has a lot of of potential to help people who don't trust the cloud solutions.

Yes and the tech is now at a point where you can do it with off the shelf hardware and software.

MediaPipe can run on old raspberry pis or phones with a good performance.
Do you think this is a social change or a change in the reality of workers leverage? You seem to be implying that corporations used to give people jobs because it was the right thing to do, but now they are more selfish. I think laborers just don't have much leverage anymore.

Domestic workers losing leverage isn't a huge surprise given that the last 30 years have been about globalization.

I am a front end dev, so microservice architecture is not something I am super familiar with my day-to-day, but I occasionally do work in our back end project, which is a service-oriented java project. The project is broken down into different services, but they are aggregated in "parent" projects, where the parent declares the modules in the pom.xml (in the "modules" xml declaration).

I like that architecture - the services are abstracted with clearly defined boundaries and they are easy to navigate / discover. Not sure if Java modules satisfy the concerns of the author or other HN users, but I liked it.
It does sound similar (and less sophisticated) to a real book plot :
