Urban (and suburban) water use isn't the problem anywhere. In California it's about the same percentage. It is agricultural PR campaigns that try to make water conservation a personal issue, since this diverts attention away from wasteful agricultural water practices which are really to blame.
Buffet’s simple advice for anyone wanting to invest but not sure how to start - Have at least some exposure the S&P500 for the long run. Pretty sound advice.

A lot of economists, if current policy and politics are not considered, are in favor of a consumption tax and no income tax / deductions. It hugely simplifies and balances things. The problem is changing the system and communicating to the public why this is a better way forward, not to mention the entrenched interest in keeping things the way they are, for those who benefit from the current system.

I experienced what you're describing after my first company failed 8 years ago. It was pretty scary to think my brain might be permanently damaged.

However, after 3-5 years, my capacity for critical thinking basically returned to normal. To this day, my working memory still seems worse, but it's unclear whether that's simply because my days are now filled with crazy amounts of multitasking.

All said, the major effects you're describing subsided after a few years for me. I did some talk therapy, and I also spent a good amount of time redesigning my personal values to not include extrinsic variables (such as being intelligent).

The biggest thing I did was just waiting for my body to recover. Be patient and if you're anxious about the time it's taking, then spend some time realigning your values to your reality, which will help relieve your anxiety.
Nice! I got into espresso at the start of COVID with a Silvia and really enjoyed it. This year I started roasting my own coffee. I found a hottop 2k used on Craigslist for $600, and now I spend about $10/mo on coffee!
I was imagining something like super fast analog not-quite-precise storage for things that don't need a huge number of IEEE-754 bits, like maybe graphics cards. I bet there are lots of applications for fast FPUs that don't care about a few LSBs.
The roof also comes with a loss of any sense of personal autonomy and the threat of violence from other people in the shelter.

There's a reason people treat them as a last resort, and it's not drugs. It's that being in a shelter opens you up to abuse.
Thanks for correcting me. Did you get a sense of whether engineers had a higher or lower turnover rate than traders?
Yup, that's what happened. They are $50 each on Amazon US. I think they even included short Ethernet cables, so I didn't even have to root around in the garage to find extras.

FWIW, I got only the 1Gbps speed, rather than 2.5Gbps, because my fiber internet tops out at around 900Mbps and I'm the only one in my family who does anything substantial the local network. For once in my life, I might have enough bandwidth at home.
I agree, I've yet to see any sufficiently large organisation successfully change their DNA. Gates hired people who thought like him, those people hired people who thought like them, and so on. The culture can and does change, but it takes an enormous amount of energy and time to change the course of such a large ship, if it's even possible at all. And I don't really see them trying - I've never even seen them apologise for the stunts they pulled with Netscape and all that. They put on a new coat of paint, hoping people forget. But I suppose they can't help themselves.
I had mine at http://danielvz.cl/ but I wanted to create it again, got sidetracked and built a new project instead (https://app.pressnt.net).

The story is that I was going to make my own blogging platform from scratch with vanilla Django for personal use, but then I thought about making it available to anyone for use, but then I noticed that there are already plenty of those, so I made one with a twist.

Actually the name “Pressn’t” comes from making blogs without Wordpress and a wordplay with present.

Quite a few shopping centres where I live (Norway) have the opening hours in half metre, or more, high type high up on the wall outside.

The sort of thing you describe has a lot to do with the culture of the place. In Norway being cooperative and helpful is highly prized, in the US individuality and getting ahead are. I don't mean that both countries don't appreciate both things, just that the emphasis differs.

At least that's my biased opinion, :-)

I’m looking to upgrade my espresso setup (basic delonghi dedica machine right now). My grinder is really inadequate for espresso grinds and so I mostly just buy small quantities of pre-ground lavazza qualita oro. I’m thinking that in this situation, I’d be better off investing in a good grinder first, and waiting to buy a nicer espresso machine until I feel I can justify a ~$1k outlay. Ideally I’d just splurge and buy both but I can’t quite stomach that.
Oh wow. I've effectively been off reddit for years now, didn't realize they got rid of the defaults entirely, now I'm curious.

ArgoCD watches the files in a repo (kubernetes yaml manifests for example) and applies them in the cluster, so that the state of the running cluster (applications) is synchronized with the git repo.

I mean first off you don't have any particularly privileged insight into my intentions so let's just stick to what I am saying here today alright?

But that said, "muddying the waters" is a particular view of it but yes I am pointing out that they are qualitatively the same. What is or isn't common sense is a value judgement you make based off of experiences and your estimation of who shares them and to what degree. It's not inherently neutral.

The two examples you mention are excellent demonstrations! 80 years ago that sort of language would have been expected, 50 it would have been tolerated, now it isn't. Because of changing political reality, which moderation polices are a part of.
The only blocker is cost and the political will to do so.

yeah, that's a great point. If you have your own gear and season pass, you can just come back down if the snow isn't good or if you just aren't feeling it. If you spent a bunch of money on rentals and day passes, you have to force it, otherwise it feels like you are wasting money.
Making month-to-month 60% more expensive is effectively refusing to allow it to go month-to-month
I bought one years and years ago (when the 3 was brand new). I wouldn't recommend it, and have transitioned to a non-mechanical litter box. I would have said I liked it for the first nine months or so.

1. The mechanism is fairly finicky. Every 3 or 6 months it would jam, and require some debugging. It's mechanically not as simple as I would hope.

2. My cat developed a UTI, and it was hidden for longer than it should have been because I was not watching the litter box as closely as I would if it required more frequent cleanings.

3. After 16 months it developed a smell that was very hard to clean. I spent a week with it disassembled, washing the many bits and bobs, letting it dry and checking the results. It was broken into more than a dozen small pieces, but a few of the pieces were stubborn. Afterwards, it needed this deep cleaning about every 9-12 months. Traditional litter boxes can be cleaned very easily with hot soap and water. Traditional boxes require more frequent upkeep, but I find the task to be less stressful with very little cognitive load.

The typical cash discount at any gas station in California that I've seen is 10 cents.

I get 3% back on gas purchases from my credit card.

Question: At what price per gallon does it stop making cents (heh) to buy with cash?

Hint: California hasn't had gas at that price for many years already.
They pay pinboard enough for idlewords (HN user) to live off it, and buy Delicious when they went broke.

Delicious once sold to yahoo! For 15 million, bought for 35k.

There are some detailed blog posts from the time about running costs somewhere.
Yes it probably varies by location. And if housing supply were more plentiful then landlords could compete on more flexible lease terms as well as actual monthly rent. When housing is scarce they can demand whatever price and terms they want.

When I've lived in areas where housing was not scarce, it was reasonably easy to find apartments that would do month-to-month leases right from the start.

I love how straightforward this is and how you can spin these up ad-hoc, directly from the CLI. Looks super easy to use. It's great to see a flexible tool (and possible escape hatch) included in a first-class way.

Not convinced bonds are useful. There are other things that get you away from 100% equity.
I'd say even that is generous. Especially once you consider opportunity cost -- length of development, contractor expenses, hardware, lost potential earnings if employed, etc.

My VR game eventually sold 130k copies over four years, but amortized over 1.5 years of development, $100k contracting expenses, $25k hardware, most copies sold at sale price, and another partner to split earnings with I still would have made significantly more as an employed principal or even senior engineer.

As far as indie game success goes, selling this many copies puts me on the far end of the percentile scale. Oof.

There is of course the non-monetary "compensation" aspect. I created something I am truly proud of, tons of people have either seen or played it and enjoyed the experience, and I crossed a huge item off the ol' bucket list. Even if the game had only sold 10k copies, I still would have called it a win personally.
Which human right does abolishing all female-only spaces come under? As that is the end goal of this movement that starts so seemingly innocently with preferred pronouns.

You have to accept some level of complexity in order to have the features users want. Suckless software is KISS AF, but a common complaint is that it is feature-poor and thus unpleasant to use.
Yes, for better or worse, the US navy is the moderating force that maintains the Pax Americana. The US essentially controls all oceanic trade. As one might expect, having a global stranglehold over efficient trade corridors puts the US in a very unique situation, militarily, economically, and diplomatically.
> I’d be better off investing in a good grinder first

You'd be correct. Check out some recommendations on /r/coffee for a grinder, and also James Hoffman's on YouTube.
I’m in the exact position as the OP. In fact this feels like a description of myself. I could barely achieve the simplest of tasks, so I quit my job. I just did nothing at home for a bit, now I’m backpacking. It’s been 2 months and so far my mental health hasn’t improved one bit. I still feel like my brain is trapped in mud; anything that requires minimum mental effort takes an insurmountable amount of energy. I’m not any happier. I might even be less happy. The only good thing is that I’m no longer letting people down. I’m not convinced I’ll feel any better in a year.
That's what PAM-4 signaling does. Quaternary signals can be easily broken up to binary ones on the other end because the bits divide cleanly. For the same reason why hexadecimal encodes binary very well.

Signalling systems that don't divide cleanly into a number of bits are more complicated to work with; you need to group bits together into another group of terts[0] and assign states to each. It's less like "picking the bits between the bits out" and more like MFM/GCR encoding for magnetic media.

Years ago I was working on an architecture where multiple threads were processing data in parallel. But there were dependencies.

I spent several weeks trying to figure out how to coordinate these processes.

That is until someone suggested I design it so no coordination is needed at all. It was a good lesson learned.

I was trying to solve a problem that shouldn't have been solved in the first place.

It taught me to ask the question often: do I need this at all?
Yeah, so agree with the impact problem, but here's the irony ---

You have tens of thousands of brilliant and motivated engineers striving to find something to make better so... why are all the things so.... not-that-good?
It wasn't a new purchase so I didn't think of it for this thread, but I started leaving a water pitcher beside the sink. It's handy for watering plants, carrying water to the dog bowl (instead of carrying the dog bowl to the sink), filling the coffee maker, adding water to pots on the stove, and filling water glasses at the table. It's nothing big, but it's helpful in many small ways.
You have to expand on your last point please!
Very mildly, but yes. Not apparent to others at all.

My experience is that most IEMs actually work quite well (Shure, Etymotic). The Airpod pro rubber seems more ‘slippery’ if that makes sense.
You don't need to emulate Chrono Trigger unless you want to play the SNES version (fair enough if you do). The Steam version itself is fine nowadays. Same with a lot of Final Fantasy games. Obviously, emulating is cheaper due to not buying the games, which tend to be expensive.
Thanks! Maybe I'm not looking in the right places but it seems like big projects to solve buffering of water availability between seasons for the growing needs of California has not been discussed enough. I do see more articles about desalination, but really we already have massive amounts of excess water running off into the ocean during winters that could be captured to serve needs in the summer months. I am wondering if these new efforts will get approved or stuck in "red tape" for years. From the original article, it looks like the last serious effort to build a big reservoir was in the 70s.
Interesting. I think this shows what a change there's been in synthetic materials in the last 20 years.

The standard advice I used to hear was to never wear synthetics in hot climates, because they'd be terribly uncomfortable! Instead you were advised to wear only natural fibers in the heat, particularly cotton and linen, because they were more "breathable".

What I also find interesting is that many of the 'new' synthetics, including the "Bamboo" derived ones, are basically updated versions of Rayon, a fiber that had a terrible reputation in the 80s and 90s (and was typically associated with very cheap faux-silk clothing that was hard to wash and harder to keep unwrinkled). Some of my older family members were shocked to find out that the high-tech synthetics were made from wood pulp in a manner similar (although obviously much improved) to the 'manufactured silk' of the early/mid 20th century.
I'd imagine that, just like in other industries, there are tons of metrics (or counter-metrics) that are also important. Some that come to mind are efficiency, noise, vibration, cost, maintenance, stall characteristics, RPM requirements, weight, etc etc. From some fiddling with RC quads, I remember that increasing the number of blades does increase thrust, but at the cost of efficiency and several other parameters.
If this interests you, I recommend checking out this video of Russ Finch, a farmer who grows citruses (orange, lemons, etc), figs, pomegranates in his sunken greenhouse in the middle of Nebraska in the snow/20F, and uses geothermal heating (long tubes buried underground) to heat it (and his house) during the winter months, and cool in the summer months. Really interesting story/concept and I'm hoping to replicate on a small scale when I renovate my back yard in the coming years.

If I start at 30 years old (as per my initial comment) with $10K and $7K per year, it shows $687K. At 4% withdrawal rate that is $27K per year in retirement. Of that $687K, I would have kicked in $255K of it as principal. Sure it's something, but that's over 35 year time frame. Wealth is going to come from other sources.

Doesn't really fit the "do what Warren Buffett did and be wealthy" narrative that people imply with buy-and-hold. Buffett made concentrated bets. He effectively used leveraged (using insurance premiums) to make bets. He prefers to be a business owner instead of shareholder (i know it's a subtle distinction). The Warren Buffett quotes people use to justify these strategies is misleading.
Yes. Some people just want zero responsibilities and living on the street gives them that. Living in housing always has conditions.
Not the first to say this but: Sodastream. I wanted glass bottles so I didn’t think a sodastream was possible for me but it turns out there is a glass bottle Sodastream and Lu can get it on sale for a bit above $100. I have bottles and haven’t spent a penny on Perrier since buying it. Plus I can take advantage of my fancy home water filter.

And that result is just from a computer simulation of a neuron that focuses on the dendrites and doesn't appear to extensively model the nucleus.

"Unfortunately, it’s currently impossible for neuroscientists to record the full input-output function of a real neuron, so there’s likely more going on that the model of a biological neuron isn’t capturing. In other words, real neurons might be even more complex."
And that several internal organs of a dwarf are simulated separately. Some of them are fat, and fat has a relatively low melting point. Some rooms got warm enough (because lava was running through nearby rock) to melt the fat, killing the dwarves.

The bug was, iirc, that the AI didn't route around this effect.

Of course, for a long time making rooms like this and leading enemy armies through them was an important part of fortress defense, because actual militias were so bugged at the time...

Also insanely strong carps that drag dwarves into the water, killing them. After all, swimming is exercise, it trains strength, and carp swim all day long...
My downloader defaults to the highest quality, so unless I remember to specify a setting, I get gigabytes of video for something that could easily be 480 quality. In the event I forget, I reencode with ffmpeg.
Same.

Alas, sensing the contents of a DRAM cell in the time allotted is already a tough ask. Having to discriminate between multiple voltage levels would surely make have a nasty latency impact.

OTOH, I believe DRAM senses entire rows at a time -- so after that latency hit, bandwidth might be unchanged.

Any idea if it is even possible with existing capacitive DRAM cells?
Another one of those interesting discussions that the news seems to have forgotten. It seems Ukraine had the most to gain, but from my limited understanding it's not so easy to robotically place explosives at the bottom of the sea in a precise, destructive manner unless you have a really well-funded naval force.

It kind of reminds me of the polonium poisoning that has become a Russian signature move. Despite not taking credit, the number of actors who have the capability to do it is so limited that it's basically outing them regardless.

I highly doubt such a button exists.

> I don't think fuzzing will take something with a score of 1 and show it as 0.

If one or more people decided to mass downvote new submissions (which isn't exactly uncommon), or the submissions are controversial, they will show as 0 even if they're actually -/+ 2 (for example).

If you decided to mass upvote them you will initially see the total increment by one, however, subsequent refreshes will show you fuzzed numbers. I believe the more active you are (e.g., upvoting 30 posts in the span of a minute), the more aggressive the fuzziness will be.
Not a bad idea, although I guess personally I don't mind my coffee budget particularly because it goes to local cafes that I like supporting. I also don't drink all that much (2 cups a day) so it's not much money to support my 'habit'.
To prove something for all n you need to do mathematical induction:

First prove that something is true for some n, usually n = 1.

Then prove that if it's true for n it's for n + 1, too.

Boom. It's true for all n.

But the second step is sometimes very hard or even perhaps impossible.
