"A moratorium on insurance price increases during the pandemic only heightened tension within the insurance industry."

Insurers have no control over either construction costs nor wildfire risk. All they might do is adjust premiums to accurately reflect those costs. By raising premiums they discourage people from continuing to live in fire-prone and/or high construction cost areas.

Instead we put a price cap, taking away that mechanism, leaving insurers at the mercy of rising risk and costs, and preventing people from feeling the incentives to change things.
In grad school I ended up managing a small cluster of SGI machines in our department. After setting up two new machines the time was wrong. I fixed it. Hours later it’s off by 12 minutes. Back and forth I go for a week thinking SGI has crappy clocks.

Found out SGI machines seek out each other and elect a TimeMaster based on up-time, clock changes. Turns out we had a machine that predated all of the new ones that had not been restarted in 2 years that had incorrect time.

Definitely workhorse machines.
This is happening. These projects are examples of feedback loops. While the models aren’t playing directly they are receiving feedback and iteratively improving. Constraining and optimizing using classical AI is an obvious next step. I agree this is when the magic happens.
I think that's the case with their free CDN/DNS/proxy offering, not R2.
The scar tissue model sounds convincing and there’s something to it. But when I reflect on my very long term relationships, it doesn’t seem to get at the core of why we’ve stayed together. Instead, for these relationships there is a deeper alignment of interests / alignment of values / alignment of outlooks (whatever you want to call it) that allows us to get past the annoying stuff. Put differently, a model that resonates more with my experience is that there are two baskets of conflicts: core stuff and peripheral stuff. As long as the peripheral conflicts don’t get too egregious, they don’t actually matter if the core stuff is still working.
This concept is pretty well developed in the context of 12-step programs. What he’s calling “scar tissue” they call resentment.
There’s strong disagreement around that the model S and X might qualify as luxury cars but are missing many common characteristics like the degree of sound isolation. Some people talk about pricing, but you can spend 6 figures on a ford 150 which isn’t a Luxury brand.

> Can some company do this carbon filtering at the source more cost-effectively?

If you have some centralized source like that, you should invest on replacing it with something that doesn't emit CO2. It's always a better deal.

Carbon capture is for sources where you just can't plug something like this.
Interesting. I'm the opposite, my passport photo doesn't have glasses, but I've never taken them off for the gates and I don't think they tell you to, and I've never had a gate fail.
No problem, nice internet person.
If you're worried about things being lost to time, then maybe that's a valid concern and could be addressed in a more direct manner than entirely removing/limiting copyright. If I put a copy in a special box that opens in 50 years, would you allow me to retain control of my own work/words for longer? Or is that somehow still not good enough?

But I have a larger issue with the premise. So say I write a book - it seems to me you're saying I have a moral obligation for that book to be preserved for future generations to read. How about if I actively don't want that to happen? Should the cops come to my door and take it away?

Or if let one other person read it, now they inherit some right over my work to reread it?

I just don't find the whole anticopyright argument cohesive and coming from a clear moral premise

A lot of it kinda boils down to companies mismanage their IP and it's annoying. And the weird particulars of the medium of exchange. Okay, SNES/PS1 games came on cartridges/CDs, so you can physically introspect and extract the data... you feel entitles to circumvent whatever protections there are. In the future its likely games will be streamed and played in the cloud. You will never have physical access to the actual executed bits. Does that mean your rights as a user are different now? Or should you send the cops to seize the code on the servers at some point?
That must reflect a suboptimal choice of tree. Sequoias, for instance, can capture 400 kg / yr for a few hundred years.
There's always a richer class who people can be mad about. The incredibly well-off average Westerners (compared to factory workers in e.g. Bangladesh) then look at the CEOs and super-rich who fly on private planes and vacation on yachts and say "Look at those CEOs, profiteering off exploiting our hard work!" -- it doesn't mean they don't have a case, just look at Bezos and the average Amazon warehouse worker.

I've been wondering if there is any alternative to the traditional home insurance market, apart from just dropping it completely. I'm not in a fire area, nor really any other increased risk, yet premiums just keep shamelessly going up 20-30% / year. I'm sure it looks necessary to the underwriters, but from my perspective it seems like I'm getting lumped in with a lot of people who seem to think insurance is a substitute for a bank account. To me, insurance is for catastrophic losses like a structure fire, or withstanding legal attacks like someone suing you for hurting themselves. But I see a trend of people using it for what are small scale (ice dams) or even what should be routine house expenses (got a 25 year old roof? why patch it when you can get a roofer to tell your insurance that you have wind damage and get a whole new roof!).

Even choosing the highest deductibles doesn't really lower premiums significantly. There just doesn't seem to be a way to express to an underwriter "really, I'm only going to call you if my house is a total loss". It's probably just the same oligopolic/info-cartel consolidation that is plaguing the rest of the economy. But it sure is frustrating.

Also on the topic of insurance, it really irks me that insurances are allowed to have caps on liability coverage. The entire point of insurance is to cover long tail risk. Instead they upsell you on additional coverage that still doesn't cover the long tail risk.
Maybe if the media wasn't effectively an appendage of the state and transparently lying on a regular basis, citizens would be a lot less vulnerable to bullshit.
This analysis is silly because it neglects the fact that the poor are disproportionally reliant on polluting infrastructure that does not have any safe and affordable alternative, while also being those most affected by its dangers. Big corporations have ways to make lots of money from so called 'green technology' and they have the capital to diversify into it and they do, poor people do not.

People want to act like there's a simple solution but anyone whose analysed the situation closely enough realizes that climate change is already locked in and renewable technology is not a good enough replacement given the power output and resource wastage. There is no way to even reduce energy demand since any reduction from one entity will be made up for by another entity, nobody has any desire for meaningful degrowth. Now that we have AI just watch us spin up nuclear reactor after reactor, drinking the ocean, and leaving every beach bare for the sake of 'progress'.

Society is already collapsing into violence and BOE is a couple years away if we're lucky. There is a reason I don't bother investing in retirement. It's a tragedy and people are in denial.
That's so weird, I use them regularly and have never had a problem in the UK or other countries with them.

I wonder if you're failing due to not recognising your face, or (no offence intended) that you have too high a risk profile in some way due to your passport info, and they decide they want to see you in person.
I find it hilarious that after clicking on a link about "barrier free reading" on my phone, I'm taken to a page with 3 sections: the left section is entirely blank, the right section has about 8 words in an enormous font, and the bottom section has the left half of a cookie permission pop-up.
Security is far from the only reason, but it's a good starting point to understand the downsides of string templates so we can start by looking at it purely through the lens of security:

From a security perspective, when it comes to HTML output you're concerned about injection. A HTML opening/closing tag are code - they're read by the browser and have technical meaning for the renderer. The text in between those tags is content: you generally want to render that as is. So these two parts of the string have different purposes, they're contextually different.

Injection happens when a malicious actors gets data into your content that the browser will think (& interpret) as code. The best way to avoid this on the server side is to be aware of whether you're outputting content or code at any given point in your html document.

That's possible with string templates: its called output escaping and you just wrap and variable printing in a function that escapes special characters to avoid them being interpreted as HTML code - this is simple as there's only 5: gt, lt, ampersand, single- and double-quotes.

Every modern string templating system does this by default and its ok. But it's only a start, and is pretty limited it how far it can go.

There's actually three types of injection for HTML: injection actual HTML is just one. There's also JS or CSS injection (CSP is starting to allow mitigation of some of this but no-one uses it, mainly as it's discouraged by Google & others) and attribute injection.

Output escaping only deals with the first type of HTML injection. It can be extended to try and deal with the other two, but it's very error prone if it doesn't have knowledge of whether it's printing a variable inside a script tag, inside an HTML attribute, or just in a normal tag content. It's very difficult for string templates to get that context: structured generation gets all that context for free.

Once you have all that extra context for security, it's also useful for a bunch of other stuff (debugging/analytics/dynamic server side formatting/etc.)
I would also like to ask everyone about suggestions for deep storage of personal data, media etc. 10TB with no need for access unless in case of emergency data loss. I'm currently using S3 intelligent tiering.

> He would have been pretty worried if we sat down and I was like, “Jim, can we talk [Laughter] about my feelings? I mean you left the plastic open and dust got into the house, and sometimes I feel like you don't respect me as a person.”

This is one of those moments where someone is theory own worst enemy. The expectation for people to bottle up their feelings and sit there in annoyance is silly. There are only two basic scenarios here. The cause of the annoyance mainly sits with...

1. Jim.

2. John Ousterhout.

3. Some unidentified cause.

The proper approach is to think carefully about whether it is case 2. If it is, stop feeling annoyed - the annoyance is harming the self and the relationship for no reason. It is an illusion that can only cause trouble.

Most of the time that is the end of it. However, sometimes it is a case 1 or 3. Then it is perfectly fine to sit down with Jim and talk feelings. Just do it. Learn to make it sound natural and stilted and people only notice that you seem really easy to talk to. Figure out whether it is case 1 or 3 and whether it can just be resolved on the spot. Nobody is helped by bottling even minor things up. Learn to live a comfortable life.

It drives me crazy when I find out people just sit there and don't tell me when I'm upsetting them. Communication, my men! If you can't fix it in your own head, get other people involved and talk it through.

Plug for Marshall Rosenberg and Nonviolent Communication. This stuff really can be reduced to an algorithm as long as it accompanies a relentlessly nonjudgemental mindset and a tolerance for not getting your own way.
you're missing part of my point (granted, I was not explicitly stated)

I think I would replace scar tissue with known limitations of the other person. You can learn in a long term relationship you can trust a person in certain ways and not in others. You learn you will be fulfilled in certain ways but not others.

Long term relationships work out of accepting limitations.

There’s also plenty of examples of long term collaborations in business, so I’m not sure the underlying premise is solid.
> Many people think 'global warming' (or 'climate change' as it now called) is 80% snake oil and that there are many alarmist evangelizing grifters making a fortune and changing the global balance of power in its name.

Who cares at all what “many people think”? How is that even a relevant consideration when deciding what and how to report?

The job of media should not be to coddle people or be a “safe space” that validates their nutty notions, it should be to report the truth. Convey uncertainty when it exists, but don’t invent false balance just to make viewers feel better about themselves. The truth is climate change is real and chemtrails are not.
I can only imagine how little he cares about what social media and The Guardian thinks.

Oh, I know what you mean, I just value "it booting on anything" over wasting few hundred megs on /boot|EFI partition.

We went thru that phase with Xen and it just made it super annoying to migrate to anything else, because for that to work you need hypervisor-specific assist to boot the kernel instead of generic bootloader.

Previous admin also had "genius" idea on putting kernels hypervisor-side which made all kinds of messes, as now hypervisor had to had locally every kernel every machine that might run on it needs for boot...

> LVM on the VM side is superfluous when you're the owner of everything.

I mean, if you IDGAF how disks fill up, sure. I like to split it so, for example, app filling its data dir does not stop /var/log from logging. I did wrote script that auto-resizes LVs and filesystems (up to a given limits) so I just use that. That on my multi-purpose VPS at least

In day job we generally don't do LVM for smaller one purpose VMs but do when there is say a database + significant app data, because app filling disk so DB can't work properly is more annoying to fix than app where upload button just stopped working. Database servers usually get "vdc for database, vda for everything else" because that's nice and easy when it comes to giving it more space.
As always, it is politically expedient to attempt to control prices, and usually wins votes from people who are interested in only short term results or do not understand how markets work.

Adjusting supply and demand, however, inflicts a lot more pain, so it ends up being a last resort, if even that.
Yes. Funny to find this here. This is actually still quite common in my home-town Riedlingen in Swabian Albs during carnival festivites. You can see in the picture [1] that they have attached the bladders to a stick, and the tradition is to hit people on the head with this :o)

Ask HN: Scrolling Window Manager for macOS?
I've been using PaperWM on Gnome, which is a scrolling window manager extension. The idea is to have seamless horizontal scrolling between application windows as they get tiled in a queue fashion. The windows are horizontally resizable, and you can quickly switch between applications by swiping horizontally with three fingers on your touchpad.

This proved to be a massive productivity boost for me as I not only know where I'll find my application windows, but it became much easier to switch between applications and see them side by side in real-time.

It's almost like having multiple monitors on a laptop, it's an amazing and painless experience! The concept is kinda like multiple desktops, that are stitched together, but are horizontally resizable and visible on screen at the same time.

I am now on macOS and I find the experience subpar compared to Linux, I'm new to PaperWM but I can't imagine living without it now. Are there any good scrolling window managers for macOS that I could try? or anything that gets close enough? Here's a (relatively old) video for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbQqBtbYXL4

Thanks!
We’ve had researcher access to openAI for a couples years to build something that does precisely this.
It sort of does, but support is spotty. I've tried using it only to have things like MITM proxies on my customers' corporate networks drop the body. It'd be a large push to get universal support. It may be more difficult than simply adding a new method.
Because what you should do with a large static exhaust pipe is to turn it off.

And after you do that, you will still need capture from air.

But on the company's side, it's probably because the companies that own large static exhaust pipes aren't interested on helping cleaning anything up.

Unless you design RISC-V core yourself that doesn't change with RV. Still need to find someone that will license you core (remember, ISA is the free part, not implementation).

I guess if using one of the open cores is enough in your use case that would make it easier.

Any idea on how many files/objects, and how often they change?

Also, any idea on the number of users (both average, and peak) you'd expect to be downloading at once?

Does latency of their downloads matter? eg do downloads need to start quickly like a CDN, or as long as they work is good enough?

Pretty much every tech company is built on a stack of SaaS products (Google suite, CRM tool like HubSpot, etc), and it seems like a lot more innovation is going into integrating/standardizing their APIs.

Yeah this is pretty much my assumption. I would imagine that the person doing the judging may not be on site as it's probably cheaper and easier to have a bigger workforce in one office, flex the people in shifts, load balance across all ports with the gates, etc.

I do wonder how much is automated. For example, is the gate fully automated in calculating a risk score and then referring you to a border agent if above a threshold? Is a person looking at the details in realtime to decide that, or are they just doing facial recognition, or are they only involved when the gates fail.

I've built my own business VoIP system — a few times over. I've used Asterisk and FreePBX (the free-ish GUI built on Asterisk), but settled on Asterisk for stability. At one point FreePBX pushed out an update that took down my system for a couple of days and baffled me until I read the FreePBX forums and saw similar complaints from other users.

If you want a week-ish long project, go for the full mid-2000s, boingboing and slashdot experience: buy the dead tree version of the O'Reilly Asterisk book, which has been kept up to date and is still an wonderful resource. Follow it until you have the Enterprise-grade phone system of your dreams.

I even hired Allison "The Voice of Asterisk" [0] to do our phone tree voice prompts. Her prices were very reasonable for a small batch of prompts, and it’s surreal hearing the same lady that does the IVR for your bank and cable company do your own voice prompts.

I use Twilio for my SIP trunking, and it has nice fallback features in case the Asterisk system needs to go down for maintenance or the like. Costs about $20/month for a dozen or so users and fairly frequent calls/SMS.

Frankly, if the state of California believes it knows better than the insurers how to fairly price risks to its citizens’ homes, it should offer that insurance itself.

As they’re doing with energy, they could implement progressive premium schemes for income redistribution purposes.

The richer public services and lower inequality should keep the state’s population boom thundering on.
