> I've heard the rule of thumb is that an acre of carrots uses as much water as an acre of tract homes.

Two things are wrong with this comparison:

1 - Houses use potable water. Crops use a mix of irrigation water and rainfall. When you grow crops in arid climates like Utah, you lose the benefit of rainfall and have to pull everything from irrigation. Ideally you'd grow those crops in environments that provide more of their water needs from the sky rather than divert rivers to cover it all.

2 - Carrots aren't being grown in Utah, it's alfalfa and hay. Alfalfa is one of the more water-intensive crops to grow.

3 - The news articles say that Utah is growing a lot of this alfalfa for export. They're basically exporting their water to other locations, at the expense of residents.

It doesn't make sense for an arid state with a shrinking lake to allow people to use 2/3 of their water to export a water-intensive crop like alfalfa.
OK, I think I largely agree that the solution is to let owners sell walking rights.

This is described in the article as leasing the water rights, and I think a solid part of the solution.

The problem is who pays for the walking rights, and how much.

If it is too low, the owner would rather use the water/land until it is depleted.

This is further complicated by the fact that in Utah, much of the farming water from rain isn't being depleted, but rather, the lake is drying up.

Someone upstream might say, I have a source of water good for the next 1000 years, and can earn $10/year. Why should I accept $5/year to send it down stream?

Also, the article mentions that a major issue is trust, which cant be stated enough. If I destroy my business and a life long investment to accept $5/year, what protections do I have that the price wont go to $1/year, or $0? If the state makes a binding contract, can I even trust that?

This lack of trust is based in history, as cities and states in the west frequently brake water contracts with farmers.

Sometimes states end up having to pay settlements for break of contract like in California, but even these are usually pennies on the dollar and decades later.

> Gun laws don't prevent bad guys from buying guns anyway.

If this was true, the United States wouldn’t be an enormous outlier in gun violence compared to countries which have them. We have a subtly different problem: borderless gun laws don’t work when you can bypass them with a single day or less worth effort.

There’s a related problem: the constant effort devoted to removing restrictions makes it easier for everyone involved in that process up to the person actually committing the crime. In Europe simple possession is a crime so you see far fewer people selling to criminals.

There are so many countries on earth with a far, far more apathetic voting base than San Francisco which face a fraction of the homeless issues.

Guess what, organization problem is a manifestation of a collective world view of the organization. And adding feature is always easier than refactoring/merging responsibility.

It is easy for a company building single page app to form an API, an analytics team, an infra team, QA, slapping incremental solution to solve their incremental problem. After having specialised team, it is far harder to merge things into good old Django with nginx where you can parse the log for analytics and just serve fully rendered html. At this point people will start saying their organization is different, we do it for "scale up" sake. They are probably right and the WhatsApp/instagram path is probably not for everyone.

Organization is the human version of software architecture. Do it too much, too early, too little understanding will all have long term, non-immediate, non-numerically justifiable effect. People love to talk about these.

Luckily, the impact of lake-effect from the Great Salt Lake is much more of a talked about thing than a practical thing.

Lake effect is real, the Great Salt Lake makes it happen, but it's a lot smaller and rarer than you'd think (partly because the lake is much smaller than the Great Lakes, which cause places like Upstate NY to be very dependent on the lakes for their precipitation).

I honestly wonder if the Rochester <> Salt Lake City Mormon connection is part of why it became such a meme.
This is a common trope, and while true, it should be mentioned that we need the food produced by this water, too. Perpetually drought stricken California produces more food (by value) than any other state in the country [0]. Sure, some of that is water-intensive crops like almonds and pistachios, but that accounts for less than 20% of the gross receipts. It isn't like people in urban areas aren't responsible for water that goes to farms -- if you eat, you are part of that cohort as well.

Right - just build more housing. Forget about failing utilities, packed roads, overwhelmed social services, crowded schools! Just build more skyscrapers and move half of the country to SF so that we can all drown in shit together.

This oversimplification that we just need to build more houses is amusing. SF is a tiny city, stuffing more people here won’t resolve many of the problems that already make life here difficult. And no, it won’t lower rent by much: SF doesn’t exist in a vacuum, more people will move here and will keep rent as high as before.

> If they were called 'tiny oven' people probably catch on a bit better.

Tiny countertop (often convection) ovens (including, but not limited to, ones marketed as "toaster ovens") are very common, but a lot of them are under powered for their size compared to those markets as "air fryers", as well as having other design differences. And they existed long before air fryers, which needed to differentiate themselves from them.

> The only issue is that people may get misled into buying an oven sized air fryer which defeats the whole point since their advantage is that they are a much smaller oven.

Actually, I think it’s probably going to be pretty common for people to have multiple convection ovens / air fryers and use them for different purposes. The “whole point” of an air fryer is not the size: the convection oven + cooking basket setup has fairly great utility at all sizes. Yes, an oven with a powerful heating element relative to size is going to have the added advantage of coming up to speed faster, which has some additional utility. Yes, the particular design of the cooking pot + top fan you describe (or the InstantPot models with air-fryer lids that interchangeable with the pressure cooker lids) have some unique utility (“pressure cook & crisp” for certain recipes). But ones the size of a typical microwave (or combined with a microwave, as some are now) or a typical full-size range oven also have unique uses that smaller ones lack.
I agree but the next wave as you’ve described has already happened a year or so ago.

The majority of people I know have an air fryer at this point and that includes, of all things, a lot of senior citizens which is a disproportionate amount of my social circle due to my profession.

These things are out there in a big way. Lots of frozen products already have air fryer directions on them specifically.

I think it’s already the open secret that all they really are is a small convection oven.

I'm the same! I had long work commutes on public transit, so I used my passive time to read and learn everyday to try and grow 1% each day.

I used GMail drafts body to save links and the subject as searchable tags. I saved thousands of entries this way before I noticed two things: 1.) I'm actually interested in only a few parts of each link and want an easy way to return to them in the future, and 2.) I wish I could see the parts of links other dedicated readers found useful which would both help discover quality resources and save time with highlights acting as a preview or summary. So I actually built a social annotation web overlay that saves to a web app that's both an aggregator and social network: https://www.kontxt.io/.

I publicly share most of what I read and highlight on my profile https://www.kontxt.io/profiles/d.

Hacker News is one of my seed sites I visit multiple times a day, so I created a group for myself and other HN readers to see people's highlights of links on HN: https://www.kontxt.io/groups/23423/documents. Feel free to join and share your highlights, or just quickly view all the best parts of the links on HN highlighted by others.

It would bring me no greater joy than to see the hundreds of thousands of lines of code I've developed over six years be used to unite avid readers on HN and fellow information addicts to learn and grow together as a community. Stay curious--and keep reading!
Agree completely. For 20 years I played through memorization and could learn a new song pretty quickly. In the last few years I've started using apps (like a Guitar Hero style) and it feels like I'm learning the songs, but I can't hardly play them without the screen. Even though it's funner using the screen, I'm going back to just memorizing.

As other commenters have mentioned, people living on the street don't comprise the majority of unhoused people. It does seem like California has a higher overall percentage of "unsheltered unhoused" people among the unhoused.

Unlike many ancient structures, the Pantheon has mostly been left intact across the millennia. The Dome is entirely original and so is most of the remaining structure. From what I know, the majority of the restoration and renovation work has been to the interior ground-level walls and some of the exterior along the ground level, but even these are mostly minor renovations. In this case, what you see truly is for the most part what always was, and especially for the main awe-inspiring part, the great dome.
I started a project recently using no ORM and having the flexibility to easily merge queries and extract exactly the data I need is very helpful. Converting the rows to objects hasn't been a major concern and I have compile-time type checking against the database schema (for non-dynamically built queries).

I'd say that the only real issue I have is building dynamic queries and some helpers for joins to make it easy to confirm that joins are against the right keys and tables. But that hasn't been much of an issue.
