By far most, I’d say.

And actually I’d say that parking garages and residential garages are both natural places for plug in charging. It’s street parking or vast (unlit) outdoor parking lots that would be a challenge for plug in charging, exactly the places that would work fairly well for solar car charging.

So I think it’s a valid niche. The issue is it’s still annoyingly expensive to place solar cells on car surfaces, and really we should use those high efficiency multijunction cells. Tandem perovskite cells are very promising there, getting both high efficiency (over 30% and rising) and low cost. But conforming shapes to car bodies is also a challenge. However if those can be solved, it’d be great to have this option.
We can do surprisingly good coffee with 100C water, a cheap burr grinder like from Hario and an Aeropress. You can outperform a lot of coffee shops quite easily with this very basic setup following recipes and slowly learning how to set the grind better.

Family clusters have happened for a long time with H5N1, with human-to-human being likely. For instance a paper that currently goes around from 2007: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2857285/

The issue is that each mammal/human infection gives the virus the possibility to adapt to mammals/humans and/or reassortment with other influenza viruses, like happened with H1N1/09.
After 2 cases in the same family in Cambodia a director of the WHO says “The global H5N1 situation is worrying given the wide spread of the virus in birds around the world and the increasing reports of cases in mammals including humans,”

The Guardian's headline is "WHO says avian flu cases in humans ‘worrying’ after girl’s death in Cambodia"

This sounds a) reasonable grounds for worry by someone who studies epidemics and b) an accurate headline by the Guardian.
Typical driver? Typical Aptera driver? Possibly…

Keep in mind an Aptera has the volume and weight and frontal area more comparable to a covered bicycle or golf cart while its top surface is mostly the same as a normal car. So even if regular cars can’t do it, an Aptera maybe can. If a Model 3 can get 4 miles per kWh, I can believe an Aptera can get 10miles per kWh, as it has only 2 seats (not 5), and is extremely streamlined. Top surface of an Aptera is about the same as a Model 3 (8m^2 if you treat it as a rectangle), and all of the top part would basically be covered with solar cells. (Even the front window would have cells on the dash to collect the sunlight going through it.) if the total full factor of that rectangle is 45% cells, with 20% efficient cells… that’s 800 Watts. With 5 hours effective sunlight per day, 4kWh per day is doable in sunny locations. 40 miles per day.

With just 800W, it’s okay if you’re using $2/Watt high efficiency conformal cells (as opposed to 10¢/Watt dirt cheap cells) as the cost is just $1600. That will pay back your Electrify America bill in just 2.5 years… or Supercharger (comparable to gas prices) in 3 years. Additionally, if you live in a place with crushingly high electricity prices but still has sun, you can pay back as well. And is more convenient than charging.

I hope Aptera’s business works, as the idea has merit.
> I mean, in the sense that the birth rate used to be enormous because children were part of the subsistence farming labor force, yes.

No, its true among countries in the developed West, both across countries at the same time and within countries over time, without subsistence farming being a significant factor. There's theory as to why speculating in the role of family as disability/unemployment/old age support being more critical with relatively weaker social support networks and less so with stronger ones.

(My personal pet speculatio is that its more subrational, and that humans are loosely biologically programmed in a way that generalized insecurity — perhaps signalled through accummulated effext of stress hormones — mitigates the degree to which humans are inclined to K-strategy in reproduction, and that’s an important factor in adaptability to environmental change on timescales shorter than evolution; lots of things in nature have a stress/reproduction response like that.)
I'm curious if anybody knows of any 'practical guides' to the four day work week, or toolsets that can help traditional organizations make four day work week a reality. We hear about the 4DWW so often now, but I'd love to actually see how it's done - to be able to bring some suggestions to leadership at my company on how we could actually do that without doing a top-down audit of the company. Of course lots of things are going to be unique per org, but are there any "If you do this, do this instead" that can make the transition easier, or indeed even a feasible thing to broach with coworkers and executives?
Wonder if that is related to the malware spamming of NPM that I saw something about last night.

Python used to have a "batteries included" philosophy which tried to put most important stuff into the distro, reducing the number of external dependencies any given app needed. They seem to have abandoned that now, leaving us to fend for ourselves against the malware.

There’s a big company called Google that, among other things, sells enterprise services, and they have a list of their apps that support litigation holds:

https://support.google.com/vault/answer/6127699?hl=en

And lo and behold, Chat supports it.

edit: as pointed out elsewhere, there is some documentation that “off-the-record” chats are exempt:

https://support.google.com/vault/answer/7664657

That seems odd to me. Off-the-record is essentially a retention rule set on a per-chat basis. A hold should override a retention policy.
> I feel like it’s square that’s driving this.

Square is who got me to stop using credit cards to buy things.

I bought something at a Square terminal, and opted for no receipt. The next time I bought something at a square terminal, I noticed that they had my email address prefilled in their "email my receipt" selection.

I'd never given them my email address. I was pissed. What followed was a week of harassing Square to try to get them to delete their records about me. They eventually said they did, but I don't know if they were truthful because I stopped using my card, so couldn't check.

I kind of doubt any of it is transported by truck but most likely by train.
Individual custodians just means employees, right? What incentive was there for employees to do this? I know that if I was told to do that, I would ignore it because I have better things to do than fiddle with settings. The only way I would do it is if they said I’d be fired if I didn’t do it or they increased my salary and decreased my other responsibilities.
Or maybe there are other relationships at play?

Could it be not because its the 5th day, but because its the 'final stretch' to the weekend and would therefore apply to any final day of any workweek? In my experience, i've seen the same behavior before holiday weekends. Should workweeks be 3 days on this evidence? Should workweeks be dictated by productivity on the final day? Why? Is 50% productivity better than 0? Should the only important consideration about a company be morale? Should morale be directly tied to quarterly earnings? Why or why not?
I actually loved my AeroPress. I loved the coffee, and I loved that it was a $35 piece of plastic I kept in a drawer instead of a $1000 status symbol like an espresso machine, or a fetishized piece of kitchen sculpture like pour-over equipment. I also liked that the AeroPress was a straightforward procedure with no artistry, in contrast to all of the mysticism surrounding other methods.

Now I drink drip coffee, for purely practical reasons. Whoever wakes up first brews a 10-cup pot, and that's good enough for us.
Most people will find another way to frame it. The training screenshots in the article are full of examples.
I know other people see this too, but what really puzzles me is the market. Automakers seem to only want to produce:

- Full ICE vehicles or "budget" mild hybrids

- Heavy, luxurious, expensive full electric vehicles.

Its as if a tiny gas generator in the car would "taint" it, but hauling all that battery and luxury junk around does far more harm.

Ask HN: Looking for resources to improve my technical writing
I'm looking for resources – ideally books, but open to other media – that will help me become a better writer. Specifically, I want to write decent technical documentation, guides, and tutorials. Is there anything out there that can breathe a bit of life into my dull, repetitive attempts at technical articles?

Keto also makes one lose the desire to drink, for many people. Alcohol is processed by the body as a source of calories, as well as like a drug. I don't know what the connection is, but it seems there are some switches being flipped when the body is under these different conditions.

Keeping track of different usernames is hard, and I can't blame you for confusing me with the other guy :)

snark aside, I think he does have a point - afaik, we don't know what intelligence is, so it's kinda hard to make any argument about fundamental differences between "true" intelligence and LLM intelligence. I do feel like there should be something else. I saw somebody describe their mind as consisting of a "babbler" and a "critic" (a GAN, basically). The LLM would be the babbler while the critic is not yet implemented, and this sounds intuitively right to me. Then again, my intuition could be completely wrong and we may be able to get to human level intelligence with further scaling. I haven't seen any solid counterarguments yet. And not even the biggest LLM believers are denying the fact that it's not exactly the same thing as a human brain, but the question is whether it captures the gist of it.
A little town I know has maintained their antique telephone exchange for going on 40 years, and one of the features is that they have a block of numbers that lead to all the error messages. (541-447-0054 for example) For a while I redirected my phone number to one of their error messages, and now I rarely get robocalls, because the spammers presumably blacklisted me.
Impressive how this post references back to a post six years before as the starting point. Shows the value of tenacity and sticking with it, as learning compounds over time.
I think it is completely absurd that the government let companies get away with the policy of deleting messages. Any public and/or large enough company should be required to keep all communications, internal and external, for at least a decade. These companies are required to respond to the public. In todays world the only reason for them not to keep records is to evade responsibility for whatever they're doing wrong.
I don't think 'conscious thought' and 'deliberation' are synonymous. You can create spontaneously while still being quite conscious of what you're doing and having feelings about it as you're doing it.

Growing up as a Midwesterner, I took great pride in the fact that our regional dialect didn't tend to smear vowels around like those in some of the dirty South states did.

Then I got out in the real world and discovered all the weird shit we Midwesterners say really does make us sound like rednecks after all, just a different shade.

Don't really see Transnistria as remotely useful as a bargaining chip. Sure it's propped up by Russia and would eventually be integrated into Russia under Putin's wildest imperial fantasies, but it's not Russia, its people mostly aren't Russian and I'm not sure it's all that valuable either.

All a Ukrainian invasion of Transnistria would do is give Putin's claims about Ukrainian aggression some veneer of legitimacy and annoy Moldova, which doesn't want to see something which is constitutionally part of their territory fought over and then bargained back to Russian control...
We shall see. "And then, we add security" has so far never won.

Stopping the deletion of chats: an IT person has to toggle a setting.

It feels pretty different to me! To roll with your 1950s analogy, it feels a lot more like the office secretaries being told that instead of shredding inter-office memos, they have to hold on to them.

I realize you said ignoring practicality...but that seems like a weird constraint to add. Bureaucracies run through paperwork, so capturing emails and DMs are often sufficient, while being much less invasive and cheaper.
Typical signs for hidden committees:
- Slooooow decision making
- Repeated meetings on the same topic, with no new information, and no conclusion
- Being asked to consult x, y and z who send you to more people

Antidote: take decisions that are in your remit and get your boss to back you up against the committee’s backlash (strategise with boss early to make sure you are on the same page)
Back in the day we used to refer to unskilled hackers as "rodents".
As a landlord, I can tell you this is false. A good tenant for cheap rent is worth much more than a few extra bucks. Have you owned rental housing before? Didn't think so.

The cute comments ("moar supply") signify your ignorance on the various aspect of the housing market at large. And that is an unproductive comment that demonstrates your overall lack of understanding of the issue at hand.

This "cartel" is a symptom, not a cause. Nobody is price fixing sedans, are they? I wonder why. Oh, supply of hundreds of options and price points? Hmmmm....
This would be disproportionately used as a tool against extremely small corporations without the budget to fight the "sentence" or weather out even a short shutdown.
> BTC is rational like tulip-bulbs are rational

tulip-bulbs do not have actual utility. they can't feed my family.

i can guess what you'll say next... the volatility of bitcoin won't either!

my response to that is that bitcoin isn't a currency. it is a store of value in that i can borrow against its value. with that borrowing, i can use it to generate value for my family. i can borrow against it (without having to go to a bank or get permission or even a credit check!) and open up a grocery market, sell bananas, generate revenue and pay down the loan. there is value in that and it has nothing to do with volatility as long as my loan-to-value ratio is maintained.

few understand or even consider those aspects of bitcoin and crypto in general.
Yeah with cryptocurrency they would rely on unregulated tech douchebag scum.
And they'd still have to exchange those internet coins to real currency.
My experience is that it is about 98% of the time.

Every once in a while, someone will send a text that takes multiple days to get to me, but that's about the only glitch I see.
Yes, so when you get sent a “legal hold” notice, and you click on some kind of acceptance, you are basically acknowledging that you’ll get fired if you don’t preserve the data. That’s how this works. The incentive to compliance is that you don’t get fired by your general counsel.
When you have a corporate slogan that says "Don't Be Evil" it means there's a big internal desire to start cackling alone at night in contemplation of your own evil (Frank Herbert quote, there). Looks like they lost that struggle against temptation.
I believe the best penalty for a big company is really to be broken up. It doesn't penalize the people working on the company or its clients, since the business continue, but it does penalize the management and board of the company for their misbehavior.

I got my current job in mid-2021 after a "cold" reachout from a recruiter who just happened to have a position that was perfect for me. I wasn't looking, but was open to suggestion.

My profile at that time probably hadn't been touched in about 5-6 years. After talking with her I cleaned it up a bit, but it's nothing more than a basic resume and a list of past positions going back about 10 years. IME, all they care about is that you provide enough context that they can compare against the openings they have. The "extra" skills, projects, etc., can come out when you have a pre-interview discussion.

I've been in industry 30 years and every position except my first has been through a recruiter. They're good at this (some of them anyway): make them do the hard work.
They don't have to occupy the whole of Ukraine to do that, they only have to defeat Ukraine's military and destroy NATO's materiel on the battlefield. If they intended to occupy the entire country they would need several million troops as well as legions of administrators ready to go, which would be visible.

They most likely only plan to long-term occupy the parts of Ukraine where the majority of the population still living there supports them. The last thing that Russia wants is fighting a never ending insurgency in Lviv oblast.
I think "custodians" in this case means the administrators of the chat system. It was within their power to preserve this data, and they did not do so.
There's a fair amount of work on key security, such as via multi-party computation, Shamir's secret sharing, etc. These let multiple parties combine to give access to a key. Some cool stuff here are companies like https://web3auth.io/ and https://magic.link/.

This stuff is useful outside of blockchain as well.

The state of user protection in crypto right now is definitely bad, but there is a lot of work and research being done to improve it.

EDIT: I think I'm actually making the same point you made, but anyways here's a couple cool links and things to google for secret security :)

I generally agree, but you should change your opinion on poorer countries. The trend you describe is spreading everywhere. Even in that article they mention Thailand’s rate in 2022 was estimated at 1.32
I’m talking about the Demcoratic nomination contest, not the general election, but even in the latter case I would expect prediction markets odds of victory more than a year out to have very weak, if any correlation, to margin of victory. Heck, I don’t know of any research showing that prediction markets far from elections are even good at predicting odds.

The Chinese people are probably misinformed. One of the things that stands out from Western (and Indian) experiments in democracy is they are noisy, boisterous, have very loud special interest groups and are appallingly bad at keeping secrets. Leaders spend a lot of time in front of huge crowds.

There simply isn't enough political chatter coming out of China to support the idea that there is a healthy democratic process at work. Although I take no position on how stable their foreign policy may or may not be.

I’m not a rust expert, but perhaps this usecase is particularly hard because you’re holding it wrong? It seems to me that the strength of rust is in preventing panics as much as possible by moving the error checking to the compiler; so sure, fixing the terminal is an interesting challenge, but probably not going to make development any easier.
The Corps still exists. Less of them, with less members, and less fighting. But we still get fat from drinking too much beer.

It's interesting that you should say that, as the consensus among most roasters and coffee aficionados is that beans don't reach their peak until two or three weeks after roasting.
Sure, but do they also not collect any analytics for their ads? Will that last through a financial crisis if advertisers offer them more money? Will it last if they gain market dominance?

If their money comes from advertisers and not users, they serve advertisers and not users. Supporting them as a temporary solution just means if they succeed we have all the same problems when the same incentives come into play.
That's their calling card. Long discussion threads, mails spanning whole pages, silencing opposition.

Stack Overflow and Google search results were already doing that though, at massive scale. I agree it changes things somehow, but people not thinking before acting is not a new problem.
the grind needs to be adjusted for room conditions (temperature and humidity). What typically happened in the cafes I've worked in is the barista would dial it in in the morning (by taste) and then adjust in the afternoon. Worth mentioning that these places use grinders with much smaller increments than your typical domestic grinder.

For the record, single origin beans for black coffee have lost most of their top notes 2-3 weeks after roasting

It wasn't a single company. It was a chain of events over many months and huge amount of contagion.
It’s like tor though; everyone that’s malicious doesn’t do this but the ratio is much higher so be much more suspicious. Security isn’t about silver bullets, it’s about a compilation of tricks that make malicious things more obvious.
