I mean on the one hand, there's a pretty famous meme about "so you participate in society? Curious!" that is relevant to your comment.

On the other hand, I do think your comment is more fair than most cases where that is deployed. The person you're responding to has commented on HN six times in the last few hours. They're not a casual user, the account is newer than mine but has much more karma. And the comparison elsewhere to Jesus in the temple...haha, no, this is just more vitriol on the pile.
It's not just the cost... it's the material and time needed, all the regulation, permits, etc.

Forbidding something is easy... but where the hell will people charge their cars before the cargers are installed? Do you know how long it takes to build a power plant? Do you know how much those things cost? Is there even a company able to build literally billions of charging stations in the next 20 years? 2035 is comming fast... some people have been waiting for a basic build permit for longer than that.

Considering the sorry state of democracy in the world, this doesn't surprise me at all, though is deeply saddening.

Obviously the markets aren't functioning properly because of these massive monopolies hoarding wealth and controlling everything.

I find tracking things is a helpful (and relatively healthy) way to manage anxiety. It’s a total time vampire - but once I’ve made my lists of todos/sheets/Roam/Notion/BuJo/whatever and convinced myself I’m organized and in control, then I can get real work done free of nagging concern I’m missing something. I try to find a healthy balance, and my level of tracking varies with my mental health and stress. I’ve noticed that if I’m tracking nothing, things are bad. Likewise, if I’m tracking EVERYTHING, I’m spiraling and things are bad.

I wanted to reply but then I saw that rphilipsen already explains it. what he says is indeed the case!
I live outside of NYC and assume I got them from the bus. I’ve seen them on the bus, anyway.

It got bad before I realized. I did my research— bought the bed covers, put everything near the bed in clear plastic bags, and bought a steam cleaner.

The bugs infest your bed, reproduce, and spread out. To get rid of them you do the reverse—kill them on the bed with steam. Wait a day or two for the commuters to repopulate the bedding, repeat.

Most important thing is don’t panic. If you panic, throw out your bed, then you will prolly end up dragging your bed through your home and spread the bugs everywhere.

A year later I was volunteering at a community program teaching adults to use computers. The topic of bed bugs came up. A person said the Cedarcide product was absolutely the best product. I’m adverse to using any poison on or near my bed, so I gave it a try—it’s just cedar oil.

Well, I tried it and shared the product with my neighbors. I didn’t see any direct effect on the bugs. What I did realize was the smell of the product is distinct (and pleasant). Living in an apartment building, when you smell the product, you know someone has the problem and you can catch an infestation early. This is key.

Also, once you find and deal with the issue, best to continue to check your bedding twice a week. I found spring through to early summer is the worst. If you can get past that time, and you know your neighbors are clear, then you’re good. But as long as your neighbors have a problem, then you too have a problem.

There is a lot of irrational shame when people have the bugs. They deny and deny, so communication is key—even if it’s coded communication as the smell of whatever spray people use to treat and kill the bugs, or empty bug spray cans.
have you ever found a relationship between mood and what you eat in a 5 day window?
The more educated you think you are, the more you look down on people and deny their ability to think for themselves.

Informing people of facts is different from shaping opinions - the former tries to give people what they need to make their own decisions while the latter starts out with a conclusion and seeks to make the general public arrive at it too. Manufacturing consent is as much about omitting information or outright preventing it from spreading as it is about providing information that would support your conclusion.

Sugary food, smoking cigarettes, and legal drugs are interesting examples here because there is a third party that benefits from them and is actually engaging in similar tactics to shape the public's consent. Perhaps the most obvious part of this is advertisement. Ideally the government would recognize this and severly limit how corporations can manipulate people.

I do agree with your point that the root cause of all of this is that the government is representing the people as you would expect from an ideal democracy.

My main hobby is photography. From the minimum viable gear perspective, I had "enough" many years ago. I like taking photos a lot, but I also like the gear perspective. New gear - mostly new lenses - often enough give new angles and inspiration. And I like to discuss gear and techniques. That also contributes to my abilities and also just can be fun, as I am like probably most HN readers quite interested in technology.

Also, at different times in the year and different life situations, the one or the other part of the hobby is more feasible, so it is very nice to be able to follow the same hobby under different circumstances.
No, don’t do that, now you’ve upset math.

Or rather: I’ll mortgage my house and put my life savings on the line against that bet.

Elected representatives should not be able to block real citizens [1].

However, not everyone posting on social is a citizen, or even human, and they should be able to block non-citizens.

This has been the single consistent problem with social media.

There's a lot more to it than galaxy rotation curves. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_matter is worth a read, especially the Observational Evidence section.

Also, general relativity has had considerable predictive success, so replacing it with something else that works the same in some situations but differently in others seems more complicated than "there's mass here in some form we don't understand yet", though people have of course tried to find such replacements. Physicists have been trying all the hypotheses they can think of and dark matter currently fits the evidence best, they didn't jump straight to dark matter or fixate on it without considering anything else.

> A language can not be exactly aligned to every possible hardware variation at the same time of course. So C does dome abstracting from the hardware level but keeps the mental model of memory locations which can be pointed to by pointers.

Sure, and I agree with you, but anyone complaining that the language which models hardware more closely than any other language, "doesn't model the hardware" should be prepared for the followup question of "Well, which other language in common use is closer to the hardware?"

It's really tiring reading the same old assertions in every thread about C; usually backed up by the same two or three sources that everyone has already read.

Another Amsterdam local advised just getting a pay as you go chip card for public transit. He said that they were in the process of implementing just accepting contactless credit/debit cards directly but it was a bit hit or miss whether that was accepted in general.
I agree with this 100%, every time i've wanted to get into a new tech stack I start a new side project more-or-less as a thinly veiled reason to learn it and hit my head on real world roadblocks within it. If nothing else you can learn beforehand that you'd never want to use it as a daily driver and drift on to the next big thing.

I don't quite understand your question. Imaginary numbers are useful for modeling waves and particles, both foundational things in our universe.

In quantum mechanics, we use complex numbers to describe the behavior of particles. A complex number has two parts: a real part and an imaginary part. The real part represents something we can physically measure, like the position or momentum of a particle. The imaginary part represents something that's a bit harder to grasp - it's related to the probability that the particle will be in a certain state or position.

For example, let's say we're trying to describe the position of an electron in an atom. We can't know for sure where the electron is at any given moment, but we can calculate the probability of finding it in a certain region. The probability is represented by a complex number, with the real part telling us the position and the imaginary part telling us the probability.

Things like Feynman Diagrams model probability distributions of particles and all possible paths they can take from A to B. They allow us to do interesting calculus
Clearly we should apply nuclear plant level standards to these installations. That would solve these issues and remove much of the danger.

Apple built hardware, like many others manufacturers, and then used the app store, which is a glorified index with a locked gateway mechanism, to control which software get used on the hardware they sell.

They didn't build an ecosystem more than others, they just made sure to kill any potential competitive ecosystem on the same hardware.

Not at all directed at you, but I find it funny that this stance is often taken by people who would be outright offended if you replaced „Apple“ by „the state“ in statements like this.

High performing people adding the most value to the business were rarely the highest paid ones as they had long tenure and the best institutional knowledge but got mediocre wage increases as a punishment for being to loyal too the business.

The highest paid ones were usually the ones who job hopped the most during the times of economic boom. They added little value where they went as their tenure was too short for that, but the market was so hot and the dev demand so high that tenure length and adding value didn't matter back then.

If you knew how, where and when to jump ship during the past boom, you could be an incompetent buffoon and you could still end up making way more than the tenured workers actually adding value to the company.

Now the companies are attempting to correcting that "mistake".
Thank you for your answer, I’m really grateful!

It makes sense that hashing allows the transit provider to link the CPAN to the taps.

Having checked, the CPAN is not inputted via an iframe on the transit provider’s site - it’s sent via https, but directly to the site’s web host. Is that necessarily non PCI compliant (or only non compliant if they store it - which they might not)? Are there PCI bounties..?

My bigger problem with all of this is that someone who comes in temporary contact with a credit card can get that person’s transit history. Is that not a security risk?
I’ve been a paid Todoist user for years - probably 6 or 7 years I would guess. I like almost everything about it but it drives me crazy that they won’t add blocking/blocked by flags and the ability to assign a task to more than one project - both of which, incidentally, Notion can do.

I’ll keep using Todoist for personal stuff but for shared work projects Notion works better for me. It feels like they just fundamentally chose a great set of abstractions. I do wish their mobile UX was better, though.
This happened to an e-commerce business I did some work for. They became a top seller in their product category but then found themselves competing with Amazon. Only the manufacturers themselves could compete at that point.

He has the cheapest way to get to space locked in for a few years so if he says it is not feasible than it probably is not feasible. Looking at how ground solar and battery prices are still falling 10-15% a year I think it will be hard for space solar to be economically viable let alone viable when you take it into account pollution.

Gas has storage constraints, and once you start talking about physical delivery, the nice abstraction of buying/ selling futures starts to leak.

Perhaps the gas generator company bought some gas for delivery today, and has some more arriving tomorrow. When they locked in those deliveries, forecast electricity prices for today were greater than gas prices.

Unlike futures, the gas in your storage tank isn't perfectly fungible (or even convertible at a cost) with gas next month or the gas in someone else's power station across the country.

> Their laptops on the the other hand have a sleep state that works

Mostly & sometimes. I'm unable wake up M1 MBP when docked in clamshell mode to a TB dock, once it blanked the screen, but didn't go to full sleep yet. Either put it into full sleep (=> turn off the monitor, it will notice and go to sleep) and then wake it up, or undock it and wake it up undocked. In both cases, it will lose all peripherals attached to dock (like ethernet) while doing the exercise. Pretty annoying actually, and it didn't happen with Intel Macs.
I think golang is a terrible replacement for applications that require a proper framework-level library to allow you to crank out a lot of functionality very fast.

The language is too weak to allow frameworks to be built on top of it. At the same time the standard library is the sanest I have ever seen in a language, both low-level, cross-platform and elegant. As someone else mentioned in this thread: "The language is so barren that you end up having insufficient abstraction power to make simple things simple. Instead simple things are verbose."

Its primitives and standards (concurrency, error-handling, context, etc) are very powerful, but also not the best solution for every type of problem, often they make the code more verbose for little benefit (go routines vs async/await is the main example I can think of).

What is REALLY nice though is that the language takes its primitives to heart, the standard library uses them and most open source projects all kinda use the same primitives and in the same ways. You don't see that in most languages, for example Java has tons of ways of doing concurrency (even within the standard lib) and each lib you use might do it in a different way which leads to a lot of library-wrapping code required when your application uses a lot of libs as well as strange bugs due to bad assumptions

So it is great for building low-level focused applications, things that do one thing and do it really well (in my company we implemented a custom network protocol in it for example). But it is not ideal for large applications that has a lot of business logic.

The way I see it golang is a very good language if you write a lot of algorithms, it is a bad language if you write lot of templaty code

Special note on golang dependency management: it is nice it is part of the core of the language, but using code-repositories as the source of truth was not a good idea and causes tons of issues

> The quest for computer vision requires lots of data — including real world images. But that can be hard to find, which has led researchers to look in some pretty creative places.

> The above video shows how researchers used Tik Tok dances and the Mannequin Challenge to train AI. The quest is for “ground truth” — real world examples that can be used to train or grade an AI on its guesses. Tik Tok datasets provide this by showing lots of movement, clothing types, backgrounds, and people. That diversity is key to train a model that can handle the randomness of the real world.

> The same thing happens with the Mannequin Challenge — all those people pretending to stand still gave researchers — and their models — more real world data to train with than they ever could have hoped for.

The parent does raise an interesting point though, how are we sure childhood IQ testing is not an indicator of early-bloomers instead of a genuine delta?
Different generators have different heat rates. There are also operational considerations (turning off a combined cycle isn’t flicking a switch).

Further, the two-settlement system means you are guaranteed the day ahead price which can be higher than spot rates. Furthermore, in the US you can trade the spread between day ahead and spot. Therefore, it isn't always rational to shut off when spot gas is higher than electricity times your heat rate.

That chart showing software engineers having the highest share of laid off employees in 2023 only tells half the story, which doesn't surprirse me because that allows the author to push their "sky is falling for devs now too!" narrative.

To show the full picture, you would need to also see the share of new jobs filled from end of 2020 to end of 2021 that were software engineers positions. I don't think people really grasp how massive the hiring spree was for software engineers in that time period.
> “By 2030, 1 in 6 people in the world will be aged 60 years or over. At this time the share of the population aged 60 years and over will increase from 1 billion in 2020 to 1.4 billion. By 2050, the world’s population of people aged 60 years and older will double (2.1 billion). The number of persons aged 80 years or older is expected to triple between 2020 and 2050 to reach 426 million”

All of this has a statistics smell to it - why aren't they giving us the expected percentages instead of the expected absolute numbers.

IME, the only time authors give numbers that don't have any frame of references is when their argument is weak or nonexistent.

Apropos of nothing, but I've been IQ tested with various tests at multiple stages of my life. Earliest I remember was age 9, then a couple others at various stages, including late teens and again in mid thirties.

Instruments were sometimes repeated, but may have been slightly different for age level. But the 'score', such as it is, was always in the same percentile. Being over 50 now, I'm slightly curious if I took another set of tests if the numbers would be similar. I feel slower, cognitively, but unsure how accurate that feeling is.
