It's easy to convince them to lower their prices when its in their self interest to do so. Collectively the landlords benefit from holding empty inventory and raising the prices but individually they can benefit from breaking the cartel and filling their inventory.
This would be an absurd move. Youtube is a property that relies on Google's ad infrastructure AND commercial relationship with advertisers to make sense. You split it and it becomes instantly less appealing cause you're dealing with another network so you can't coordinate campaigns as well as you can in the current system.

It's complete nonsense and shows the person writing has no idea how that particular business works.
Hallelujah, I've been waiting for this for years. This was the one remaining thing I needed to transition to Deno.

I got SO MUCH pushback every time I asked for this. Everyone on the Deno side was so righteous / moral high groundy about not adding package.json support and swore up and down that they never would because it goes against the entire ethos.

I knew they would eventually cave and implement it, but I will hold my tongue on any further snark and just be appreciative that it's finally here, and thankful for all the hard work they put into implementing this difficult compatibility layer! ;)
They stopped calling you and started calling me. You're welcome ;-). I get 5-10 a day now, up significantly in the last couple years.
Yes. It wasn’t always difficult, but at various points there were extra hoops you needed to jump through. Again I will point out Microsoft editing a video to skip steps they clearly wouldn’t have done so if the process was reasonable.

They have even swapped peoples browsers with security updates before. Though more recent examples like KB 3135173 seem like a simple mistake, it’s more provocative when such things were common.
It’s not so much corn farmers as the operators of the ethanol plants who benefit. Lots of funds and support and mandates for their products to be bought.

Various things will always be done to prop up commodity prices for American farmers, if not ethanol then something else.
That assumes people are unaware suckers and would still only be true for a short time under metallist economies (until word gets out). My entire point was that it doesn’t work that way with fiat currency. Demand is driving inflated prices, but the money isn't being debased, the supply is increasing. Congress could remove the extra cash with taxes, which you cant do with debased coins, they have to be reminted entirely.

Yeah, I can't imagine there would be any unintended consequences to that.

In what world does raising the cost of providing housing cause landlords to reduce rents? More likely it causes landlords to stop renting. See the consequences of the rent control regulations in NYC, for example.

Double a currently lousy budget amount isn't even close to being good enough.

One of THE biggest problems is that women wind up carrying the weight of both sets of elderly parents in Japan. Why should a woman get married and double her burden for an indefinite amount of time--often longer than raising a child! You need elder care support and services in order to free up the younger generation to actually have children.

At the end, it's all about money. Society is going to have to funnel a whopping amount of money at young women to convince them to take on all the downsides of getting pregnant and raising a family.
Traditional dragon's blood tree management system deemed unsustainable (2020)
If you do the math, solar powered cars are not going to work. You just don't have the available surface area on a car to provide enough power to charge it in a reasonable timeframe. Plus solar panels add weight and manufacturing complexity. If you're building an electric car you would be better off spending your time trying to make the car more aerodynamic or weigh less. The only way I could see it working in a production vehicle is with an rv that can have its panels fold out while stationary. Any investor worth their salt could do 10 minutes of math and figure out that this is a terrible idea.

Unfortunately the goal for most companies in a capitalist structure is not "employee happiness". It's "revenue growth" or "shareholder returns".

It's romantic to think they coexist, but in a practical sense they don't intersect at the optimal solution
> In other words, mantle plumes are parts of the mantle that are hotter than the other identically composed mantle around them.

The parent's link suggests that alternate views exist, that the mantle plumes are indeed chemically distinct from the surrounding rock.

From the linked article:

This suggests that the edges of the blobs mark a transition between materials, not just temperature.

In this view, the blobs are so-called thermochemical piles, clumps of dense rock with a distinct chemical composition. Because of their prolonged contact with the core, they are hotter than the rest of the mantle, causing plumes to sprout.

It's worth pointing out that the software will recommend leaving apartments empty for the sake of keeping rents high. This is briefly mentioned in the article, but implies that we would need a lot of excess supply to make a difference in areas dominated by a small number of companies utilizing this product.
Some of that seems a little unfair. The desire in the first paragraph is for a fully-integrated, vendor-supplied SDK for a single board where everything works.
The bit in the second is about doing configuration and integration work on new hardware.

I think both criticisms are reasonable but they aren't from the same perspective. In this case, yes, Espressif (who I'm not affiliated with and don't want to speak for, though I have worked on the ESP32 -- it was actually Zephyr's launch hardware for SMP, as it happens) doesn't quite have everything wired up yet. And that's unfortunate, but not so much a ding at Zephyr as with this particular integration (other chip vendors, Nordic especially, tend to be farther along).

And as for doing devicetree work... yeah, I don't like it either and try to stick to the kernel. But it's a ton cleaner than the kind of cut/paste you see with other solutions (and especially with whole-board IDE/SDKs!). In Zephyr, if you have a part that has an instance of some existing hardware integrated on another platform (a Synopsys DMA controller, some third-party I2C accelerometer, whatever), the configuration is usually/hopefully as simple as a three-line block of DTS with the addresses and interrupts filled in. For platform integrators, it's probably our single most attractive feature.
this is very wrong. You can coordinate a campaign where you have video ads on youtube for let's say a new burger from McDonalds and then the same ads in Maps. Youtube is brand awareness, Maps is to bring customers to physical locations. There's TONS of synergy.
>When the author is present and engaged in the process.

Does this mean you would be fine with this process if it involved the author even if they approved of changes to a book decades after it was originally released?

>Would Dahl care about these changes? We don't know. And that's the problem. It's no longer his book - it's the diluted version.

>Alternatively - if the author is gone... when the story is no longer bound by copyright seems a sane approach. If you want to edit his words, make them compete with the original versions (or other folks edits). If the edits are genuinely better - they will win out.

Does this mean that in situations in which the author is dead and the books are still under copyright that you are ok with a publisher that decides to stop publishing the book, basically the Dr. Seuss situation?
Producing panels and charging circuitry has a carbon footprint. So does installing them. It's going to take a long, long time for car-mounted panels to offset that footprint, and even longer for the cost. On top of that there's costs associated with leaving your car exposed to sun all day which you have to factor in for everyone except drivers who have no choice but to do so.
Just because it was a plot point on the West Wing in 2006 doesn't make it reality. Iowa is not a kingmaker, and it's not even the first state in the primary season for Democrats anymore.

It's really just more mundane: BigAg is powerful and our representatives take their money.
Given the difference in cost, I can't picture a future in which this doesn't happen.

Yikes -- do the Tories not have any economists at their disposal or do they just choose not to listen to them?
We agree, staff trimming makes far more sense. However, what is happening isn't staff trimming.

Are there any papers regarding the labor bloat specific to tech? Everyone believing in something doesn't make it true so I would love to read more about that beyond the usual memes of "girls on tiktok posting about their day in tech".

Actually, this idea that it's done because of bloat signals something interesting. The reply above claims these layoffs happen because of the future potentially showing massive slowdown - however, why are we trusting what these companies feel about the future when they got their pandemic move completely wrong? They thoroughly believed (apparently, so they say in their layoff emails...) that this growth was going to continue, so obviously they don't have the best grasp on how to make decisions for the future. Entirely negating the above reply that this is due to impending slowdown.
I came here to say this. These layoffs seem to have more to do with the normal telecom deployment lifecycle than anything else.
Whenever someone asserts subjective opinion as some sort of axiom I dismiss them and their comment entirely.

See how that works?
When rent gets like this (very high and controlled by a cartel as appears to be the case here) then there needs to be a remedy and the free market isn't going to be it. If the subject were some luxury good that was being impacted it would be of much less concern but this is housing. It's a fundamental human necessity and it's being manipulated.

The ideal here should be to cause the least harm. To everyone involved. Landlords should not be ruined but even more important should be the right of people to reasonable housing costs. Again, this is not a luxury... it's a basic human requirement and since it appears to be getting out of hand there needs to be a remedy. The only group powerful enough to provide that remedy, in our system, is the government.
Ethanol absorbs water which doesn’t always play nicely with seals and fuel lines, or at least that’s the commonly held belief.
I don't know about infinite, but Ericsson is in the networking space, and there is plenty of work remaining to be done in that space. In the US, cell service is pretty mediocre, and 5G is still rolling out in major cities. I still routinely find gaps in coverage, or find myself in a populated area with very slow coverage. And this is a developed country, not even speaking of many many countries around the world still building out their networking infrastructure. I suspect this is actually accelerating as many developing countries have experienced good growth in the last few decades.

There may come a time when we hit some kind of steady state, but we're definitely not close now.
Honestly. The CEO and General Counsel? Straight to jail for economic crimes. They're stealing from the regular people.
Yes exactly. If react included scoped styles out of the box conflicts would be rare and tailwind would be far less popular.

That doesn't mean hours don't matter, it just means that hours aren't the only factor, which should be obvious.

I don't doubt that there are people who are happy working 80h at something they love, but most people are not like that.
I've been convinced lately that we have no collective agreement about what the term "capitalism" means any more. Yes there are text book definitions but none of those are used in typical public discussions like HN.

Power tends to accumulate when government actions restrict voluntary trade that would have otherwise proceeded. That is a characteristic of governments not of "capitalism", IMHO.
It is worse than you probably think because of the fertilizer, transportation of crops (and operating farm machinery), drying of crops, fermentation to ethanol, and (perhaps most brutally) distillation to high enough grade to mix with hydrophobic gasoline.

I was doing reviews of at least a half dozen studies of this that dated back to the mid '00s, back then the most optimistic studies were around 1.3 joules of ethanol for 1 joule for extraction (which excludes the sunlight). Meaning you're burning 1 joule of gasoline to farm and transport and manufacture 1.3 joules of ethanol. But the pessimistic estimates from then were also below 1, meaning that you literally use more petrochemicals to support growing the crop than the crop produces in finished fuel.

Whether it's breakeven, a little positive, or a little negative we've known for a long time that it's marginal at best, thus the interest in cellulosic ethanol. Whether it's 0.7 joules out or 1.3 joules out per joule in depends on assumptions like how far you need to transport things and how dry the crops start. There's no way to avoid that uncertainty.

That whether it's positive, unity, or negative is sensitive to these variables is a statement of just how marginal it is. It should just be positive, always, or what are we doing? Confusingly, some oil wells are barely breakeven because they use so much energy to build the well and process the fuel.

You can follow the citations inside this article, but, for instance:

> Resulting EROI is typically around 1.4-1.5 [for shale oil].

So every 1.4-1.5 joules of shale oil you burn required 1 joule of other energy to extract. Net it produces only 0.4-0.5 joules of free energy after extraction, and that's... well, arguably not actually enough to operate a civilization but let's not go there.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_return_on_investment#Sh...

Corn ethanol has been a scam and known to be one for a very long time. Shale oil is marginally less of a scam, but is truly hard to justify compared to PV solar or wind which both easily exceed 4 and 34 depending on the details.

But no, variation in the estimated EROEI is entirely normal and expected because different sites have different details.
> The sharpest drop in the US birth rate came after the baby boom, from 1960 to 1980, and was almost certainly a product of changing norms rather than economic pressure.

Economic conditions are a powerful factor in shaping norms, though in industrialized countries economic stability and stronger social safety nets are associated with reduced birthrates, “economic pressure” is thus more likely to be the opposite of the explanation.

I'm a former Ericsson field engineer, These layoffs seem to have more to do with the normal telecom deployment lifecycle (aka LTE and 5G deployment periods winding down) than anything else.

Telecom equipment sales is often very cyclic.

To note further, Ericsson, Nokia et al, shouldn't be thought of as IT companies in the same vein as Google, Apple and Facebook. They exist in a very different parallel universe.
I don't think this is shocking...an AI or machine learning system will probably flag that pic as child pornography pending human review, which Twitter (the perpetual outrage machine) seems to be lacking these days following Elon Musk's layoffs.
lol, how? The calls aren't coming from places that respect laws, they way that CAN-spam didn't stop spam mails.
What stops the new units from being added to the cartel? Cartel members would be the best positioned to acquire them.

The government enforces capitalism laws (rather than socialist or chartalist) so how do you distinguish?
Today is a sad day for hackerinos. I take full responsibility for these layoffs, we recruited far too many folks during the pandemic.

I had a HORRIBLE epic that spanned 2-3 years of unknown gastro problems. I blame Kombucha 100% for rotting my insides.

I wont get into the specifics but stay away from this stuff at all cost. Try some cashew yogurt or other pro-biotic foods. Long term Kombucha drinkers tread lightly.

Yes, that's why I don't use any commercial IoT devices. I have no actual control over them. Before I shed the few I did have, I kept them segregated on their own subnet so that at least their presence didn't have to impact anything else.

I always assumed it was "f*k you". But after a little digging, it turns out it's not "fight yard" either. According to this comment (https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/community/profile/dmgkyd), the map was created by a 15 year old boy, who called himself Fantasy

> Why the map was prefixed with "fy_"?
Because he didn't know how to put custom texture into maps, nor leave his signature.
The only thing he could do was renaming "cs_iceworld" to "fy_iceworld". "fy" stood for "FantasY".
He made a lot of maps prefixed with "fy_".
How would they turn that into usable currency over there?
So companies can't leverage their own infrastructures between divisions? They should have to offer every bit of their infrastructure at "market rates"? What's the market rate for me shipping boxes using Walmart's trucks? Should McDonalds be forced to charge "market rate" rent to Subway for counter and kitchen space?
I mean, in the sense that the birth rate used to be enormous because children were part of the subsistence farming labor force, yes. But the norm change here is pretty clear, and pretty clearly not a product of economic pressure; I'm being careful with my words so as not to set the thread off on a bleak tangent.

A big problem with agriculture-based bio-fuels, is that growing crops with modern technology uses a lot of fuel. Tractors and other machinery, fertilizer, and a million other things all take energy, which often comes in the form of fossil fuels.

My brother-in-law has a farm, and claims that if you look at the amount of energy used and produced by farms, agriculture hasn't been economically viable for more than half a century. We pump fuel out of the ground, have farms turn it into food, and we eat that. It works because the energy from fossil fuels is already there, and eating is important. But if farms turn fuel into more fuel, those farms need to be a lot more efficient, or we're just burning fuel for nothing.

Do you compare its conversational skills to a smart person or a dumb person? Because the result of the comparison will be very different, I believe. In other words: on a blind Turing test, if you can't tell apart ChatGPT from a dumb human, is the dumb human not generally intelligent? He also doesn't comprehend what he's saying once you get beyond basic things, and he's still vastly smarter than an ant.

I'm sure you've talked to people before who used certain terms but it was obvious to you they didn't actually know what those terms meant. They're able to use them without understanding the concept. Just like ChatGPT, only that it's more likely to sound like ChatGPT understands the concept.

What I'm trying to say: humans have a very clear limit to what concepts they can grasp. They can punch above their weight by pretending to understand a concept, but the proof is in the pudding, so unless they're able to apply it to solve problems, they haven't understood it. And even if they do understand something, they'll make mistakes. If the test for intelligence is essentially 'can perform certain tasks with a maximum error rate of x, and can learn to perform new tasks', does 'understanding' really matter? And can you even really test for understanding, aren't you only testing for 'gives answers to questions that signal understanding'?
It doesn’t fill the whole tank, but on many days it can add 10-20km of range. Given that commute distances in cities (Europe) can be small, and given that in cities most won’t have their own garage to charge, this means you could get away with charging your car once week instead of twice.

In general I’d agree that this solar car thing doesn’t make sense, but Sono did make a compelling case and the whole package kind of made sense. But their execution and timing was off.
