I bought the adapter off the gray market when it was only being sold in Korea, and promptly ran to my local EA station to try it out. Of the four plugs, only two worked, and one of those was loose and would glitch out if I didn't hold it against the car by hand.

I haven't charged via CCS since. It lives in the car as an emergency backup, but frankly I wouldn't plan a road trip stop at a CCS station if you paid me.
GS-11 and above government roles.

Most software roles in the US Government are now remote due to a severe staffing crunch.
Excellent work, again! Your intros somehow elicit the best out of HN too: the comments are always full of interesting angles and variations.

Wanna do quaternions next? :) Many have tried..
It's not like they stated a goal of creating something exactly like Reddit. They are building an application that is meant to be decentralized and with no single entity concentrating power - or in the case of social media, "eyeballs".

Do you think they should just say "oh, we set out to build something to help people get rid of Big Tech and Surveillance Capitalism, but people are really impatient so we are just going to scrap that and do that instead?"

The fact that it doesn't work if everyone tries to gather around a handful of servers is a feature and not a bug. If others can not be patient, supportive or understanding enough, then what else can we say besides "good luck and I hope that Big Tech does not destroy you like they are destroying everyone else"?
Stripe approves most if not all accounts without underwriting.. People wrongly assume this means their business is "OK".. Stripe then waits until the account begins processing transactions before underwriting.. Oh woops, after proper underwriting/review, your business type is not allowed!
I think what JumpCrisscross is saying here is democracy is what the people are _supposed_ to want.
Junk science
3 days ago I noticed JPC van Heijst (a 747 pilot I follow on Facebook) mentioned the unusual auroras this time of the year.

Loooooong ago blender once did have a game engine but they removed it many many years ago.
Tough love incoming:

Why is daily gameplay desirable to you?

Your idea smells of a dark pattern—in my eyes you're attempting to generate FOMO from the leaderboard by making players redo levels they've already completed.

Moreso, levels players they scored low at are likely the ones that frustrate them the most.

You're proposing to make them revisit those levels.

This is not a good idea unless your game is about Sisyphus
Doing things to help other people isn't the collapse of society and the modern incarnation of evil.
As an employee, I love WFG/remote work, it's vastly increased my options (I've been working 100% remotely for ~5 years). And so as a company, there's huge upside because you can hire a bigger range of people.

But in person teams are way more effective IMO. I think an example is that (at least in my experience) with colocated teams if you have a problem to work through, you generally keep finding time to work through it until you solve it. With remote teams, it's really easy to become a slave to your calendar: "our one hour is up, maybe let's schedule some time for next week to discuss again". I'm not saying this is a trap that everyone is guaranteed to fall into, but I _do_ think that it's a case where there are a bunch of behavioral nudges that make collaborative work much more natural in person. In a lot of cases, that's very valuable!
I have two children. I carry absolutely no guilt for bringing them into this world. They are happy to be alive, and I am confident they will improve the world.

Climate change is overhyped in my view. War, weapons, and disease pose a far greater threat to humanity in my view.
Once you’re out of warranty BMW tend to “implode” like everything breaks at once. But even in warranty dealing with going to the dealership and getting the repair is a huge hassle vs just having a car that stays out of your way.

Time is our most valuable asset and giving it up to stupid things like waiting in dealership waiting rooms, regardless of how much free coffee and popcorn they have just isn’t my idea of time well spent.
I use RSS for Reddit and don't plan to ever log in again. This latest upheaval reminded me I was spending too much time there and after taking a break I've realized most of the content is garbage. Now Reddit is just another feed to a site I don't participate in (like the cesspool that is Slashdot).
Almost the premise of the movie Idiocracy.
Indoor Berry Farming Business
In Finland, berries during the winter cost a lot.

I want to found an indoor berry farming business that grows berries with hydroponic / stack growing techniques.

The business will grow berries around the year and partner with Uber Eats -type companies to deliver fresh berries to people's (in addition to partnerships with restaurants etc.) Use of efficient farming techniques and lack of middlemen will emables us to potentially drop prices.

The current plan:
1. I get funded.
2. I hire an accountant.
3. I spend 2-3 months on research.
4. Temporary workers and I set up the farm according to my plan.
5. I get my farm working efficiently.
6. Potential permanent employees and I work on superficial things such as marketing, branding etc. and I make ton of money, potentially rising more funds.

---

So Hacker News:

1. How does a 19-years-old nobody without a degree get funded?
2. What things here would you as engineers focus on?
3. Do you know anyone who has been successful with a similar business? I am especially interested in new techniques I could bring from abroad.
Well DI is a standard lib or even Framework thingy. Have not seen anyone except Google (PWA/Chromebook) advancing the standard lib in any structural way.

DI hast no space in the Standard lib. It is Framework space. It belongs into react, svelte or Angular. But not into a standard lib.
The easy answer would be on some non-production copy of the Rails app, point at the new db in database.yml, and simply run `rails db:create; rails db:schema:load`, or some variation rails command like `rails db:prepare`.

Rather than this ad-hoc thing, you could also try to create a new rails "environment" for this use, I guess.
Honestly, I've played with one quite a bit, and I wouldn't even say that are _that_ unfriendly to geeks. Root, vs code, npm, etc all run perfectly out of the box.

It is more limiting if you want virtualization or even just containers, but that isn't always a requirement.
They must have perceived some threats because they created this entire astroturf campaign for the pro-gas side. https://youtu.be/hX2aZUav-54?t=708
Strongly recommend insurance or financial services in general. Many are flexible with remote work, and some are now fully remote. The meeting load is moderate, but the actual work load is low, timelines are very long and low on stress. Plus, health insurance benefits are usually decent.
While I agree it's correct, at the same time we have much more awareness of all evil things that await the child, and this is magnified to an extreme degree by the media.

It is maybe a semantics issue. See https://martinfowler.com/articles/mocksArentStubs.html.

Traditionally, a mock asserts against internal behavior while a fake does not.
My take on it is (1) this phenomenon is worse than people think, and (2) Facebook so far has been able to keep ahead of it. That is, Facebook has been quick to buy out competitors like WhatsApp and Instagram. Also around the time that Facebook built an advertising business, funding fell away for social media startups because it was generally believed that Facebook's moat couldn't be defeated.
Newsboat FTW
Yeah I think the documentation is a bit ambiguous here. Postgres "schemas" have a very specific meaning, different from what most people think of when they hear the word. It's more like a table namespace.

This is very cool. On Linux + Firefox (102.12.0esr) I'm seeing "navigator.clipboard is undefined" on line 450 when clicking Copy To Clipboard.

I second the suggestion to display the CSS so you can see what changes as you use the UI.
For me, I find Reddit also often abysmal.

Their performance has always been hit and more often miss. I was a fairly heavy user, a lot less now. From the hilariously shite search results, to their alien equivalent of the fail whale showing up a few times a month at least. Sometimes a refresh resolves, sometimes doing something else and then coming back later resolves it.

Don't get me started on the new UI, or how the old less awful UI loves to drag me back into the new extra shit one.

I don't know if I'm being more demanding, or extra pissy, or what. Is this not most people's experience of Reddit?

And they've had millions of dollars and nearly two decades to unfuck it. I still remember the /r/bestof post (linking to /r/askreddit) that taught us "502, it went through; 504, try once more." because commenting was occasionally a total dice roll and the error messages were obtuse.

If I have to eat some lag in the early days of Lemmy or wherever, so be it. I'm fed up with Reddit's shit, I'll try someone else's.
The North experienced massive social change in the first half of the 19th century when industrial revolution really ramped up. Cities were still trying to figure out the transition from agrarian support to industrial center and the general quality of life in cities during that time was horrible from pollution and overcrowding. City dwellers didn't see much benefit for all their effort until the labor movement got its feet in the late 19th and early 20th century.

It's no surprise that there were lots of older boys in the Union army because the lack of prospects in the cities were obvious even then.
This is awesome. Reminds me of Access. So many people need this that don’t know they need it
I agree with your opinion, but the other way to look at it is that most fat people know they are fat, "want" to do something about it, but just don't because losing weight is really hard, from a human level. Millions of years of evolution are working against you to lose fat stores, because 99.99% of people who have ever done that starved to death.

If sketchy drugs are the only ACTUAL way to get the 3/4ths of the country to lose weight and be healthier, shouldn't we try it?

Though, the end result of that is probably finding out that if you are a "healthy" weight from drugs, but your diet is still mainly mcdonalds and steaks and food made mostly of butter, you probably will have just as many health problems. And there's no exercise drug.
My plan is to just add a bunch of instances' local feeds to my rss reader and audit them occasionally to check which I like the most.

I'm thinking of joining fmhy, which isn't the most active but is clear about their federation policy and has only defederated from lemmygrad (which seems to be a major source of posts from the group you're referencing)
There’s a name I haven’t heard for a long time.

Thank you, sir! As soon as I can reliably spell “quaternions” I will think about trying it.

Funnily, one of the ideas I have cooking in my head is going to require a foray into 3D.
I used to use rocketbooks back in school, and they were quite nice. This was a few years ago so I can't comment on it now, but I really enjoyed it then. You could setup various places for it to save to and there were boxes at the bottom of the page I could check and say the first box was checked it got sent to drive, the second box could be like dropbox etc I had all mine set to different google drive folders for my classes. It was able to scan everything quite well and was honestly pretty seamless to me. I feel like there were more features but I can't remember now, even if there weren't though I still liked the organizational structure of it all.
I'm unconvinced. If the phenomena is real, it is clear that there is always a delay. There's no mechanism for immediate reaction. Government is purposefully slow as this is also a defense mechanism against abuse. This is the downside of that. Everything has loopholes though (hence why I keep ranting on HN about complexity and embracing the noise).

For employees protecting themselves, if things are happening at a larger scale, would that not also exhibit as distress at first? Assuming the abuse does exist, we also think about what the societal "immune response" would look like. A meme is just an analog to a virus in social thought, not necessarily bad, and it means we can create analogies to the immune system. What's hard about all of this is that you're right that sometimes the immune system attacks itself unnecessarily.

Arguably we agree that we see the immune response acting up. Now we have to ask if the immune response is appropriate or not. This is hard, because we ourselves may or may not have come into contact with the infection and the system's response is extremely noisy. But determining that determines how we resolve the problem. And no matter the conclusion, a problem exists. Sometimes the immune system attacks the right thing, we just can't see what it is attacking. Sometimes it attacks the wrong thing, so we need to look at why they look alike and how to differentiate. But in no case does it attack itself with no reason. (even a bad reason is a reason)

And yes, historically we see both this and an extremely slow response from the government (idk, virologists in our analogy? Doesn't matter). In the gilded age we saw tons of abuse run rampant before they were addressed. Things were considered normal and common that we'd see as horrific (e.g. per-adolescent children working in factories and losing fingers). There's a reason we got labor unions and many workers rights from this time. Even if you believe the defenses degraded and malformed over time, that's why they came to be. And if you do believe that, it is even worrying because it means we're not ready to handle the next infection. Even if this isn't an infection, we are humans and can think proactively and want to address things when they are small issues and build defenses before they become big issues. So even small infections are worth scrutiny. Just the same way maintenance of any system (biological, mechanical, software, social, etc) reduces overall costs and prevents larger damage from ever happening in the first place (but counterfactuals are fun...).

So from this standpoint, I'd just say "listen." I'm not sure what the real problem is (got some ideas), but it is clear there is a problem and I'm afraid the way you frame it is dismissive. Even entitlement itself is a problem and we'd still have to listen carefully to address that.
> I have two children, and knowing what I know now, I carry a certain level of guilt for bringing them into this world.

could you elaborate on this a bit more? what do you know now that causes you to feel guilt for perpetuating your genetic lineage—which is the most natural, low-level thing that living organisms could have an inclination to do?

and if you don't mind my asking, how old is your eldest child, so as to establish the time period in which your views were changed and your feelings of guilt began?
I 100% agree, as long as you also extend that to semi trucks. Interestingly, that would tend to push up fuel prices too.
Wolves and monkeys do that when expressing threat and dominance. But we use it to say "hi, I want to be your friend". Hmmm.

Reminds me of "interrogative greetings" : WHAT'S UP?! HOW YOU DOING??! WHAT'S GOING ON??!!

There was a "USAJobs" subreddit, a few times I checked it and it seems like getting a US Govt job is a challenging and slow process these days?
I love that this whole thread has been about people who don't seem to understand the experience of others, and you just compared having a 6 hour tattoo to living a lifetime of hunger.
I don’t know how to answer this other than I’m not smart enough to know what the solution is. The ‘within reason’ is simply to appease any unknowns that I’m not accounting for when I say we should just open the flood gates.

What that looks like, who knows.
Ah, I only skimmed the article and missed that. The BBC RSS feed was the main example I referred back to while I was learning XSLT around 2010-ish.

AFAIK it's the only major implementation of this technique. Most other big sites that provided an RSS feed didn't bother, and most of those RSS feeds are dead now. The BBC one has hardly changed since those days and it still works really well as a dual-delivery system.
Notifications on Slack can be turned off.
I haven't played with kbin.social yet. Most of my interactions with them have been through Lemmy (and noticing that users/communities are actually from kbin.social)

I feel like Beehaw.org is quite pragmatic. By cutting off the #RedditBlackout users, they've kept their community feel and the focus on community building. I dunno if I want to be part of Beehaw.org, but I support their decisions and can see the long-term benefits of their way of thinking.

Lemmy.world obviously is trying to capture #RedditBlackout traffic, and that's fine too. This has its downsides, the bulk of which is that 90%ish of the discussion on Lemmy.world is all around Reddit and/or Lemmy, as opposed to more pragmatic issues.

--------

The happy medium I've found is to look for specific communities, no matter where they are. https://programming.dev/c/programming is small but looks like it has the right mindset. https://mtgzone.com/c/mtg also looks to have the right mindset, by creating a Magic-the-gathering focused group.

The issue in the near term is human-coordination. People don't know which !communities or servers host the discussions they want yet. That's fine, people will self-organize one way or the other.

EDIT: Of course, https://Lemmy.world can work. But most users are obviously here for lower-effort experimentation rather than community building. The https://lemmy.world/c/android community seems to be taking off though and is on the right track.
Chip-Chat: Challenges and Opportunities in Conversational Hardware Design
Wild that you can use LLM's to design semiconductor chips.
No it doesn't, agriculture makes up less than 3% of California's economy and is heavily subsidized (read - money is taken from other industries are given to farmers by the government). It's tech companies, tourism, and the entertainment industry that pay for most of the infrastructure in California.
The article says only 20% of that alfalfa is exported. So, the biggest culprit would be alfalfa used domestically.
Stripe approves accounts without underwriting.. They wait until the account begins to process transactions before underwriting.. This is the result.
Following the comments around decisions to have "more" children, the article veers into talking about parents' views about companies, e.g. have they reconsidered working for a company based on their climate stance, will they pay more for a sustainable product, do companies' sustainability practices influence who they purchase from, etc, all of which seems to frame behavior of individual corporations as the center of the climate crisis.

Example questions they could have asked with a different framing, but didn't:

- have you avoided buying categories of products or services to reduce your environmental footprint? (i.e. perhaps some whole industries are bad, rather than individual companies being good or bad actors)

- should a global minimum carbon tax be implemented? (i.e. policy, not individual corps)

- would you vote for or against a politician based on their climate record?

- should firms with very high emissions be liable for loss and damage to property from climate-related droughts, floods and storms? (i.e. is this a justice issue?)

- should governments of countries with very high per-capita emissions pay reparations to countries who disproportionately are impacted by climate change?

- should any level of emission qualify as "environmental terrorism", and should responsible parties be subject to the ICJ? (i.e. insofar as the climate crisis has been avoidable, is it an act of violence?)

- is any level of long-term economic "de-growth" an acceptable price to pay for limiting climate change?

Of course, much more interesting would be to also ask the people who are not parents, who might become parents, or are committed to not become parents.
I don't buy this, I think it's just an urban legend. Note that they provide no references for their claims.

I heard similar claims about drinking distilled water decades ago, and determined that they were BS by self-experiment. Now, it does make a certain amount of sense that ion-free water could be problematic for biological systems, but distilled water is already close enough to ion-free (with respect to a typical biological system, which in some sense is just "very dirty water") that I can't see how further purification could possibly suddenly tip it from "just fine" to "so toxic it will kill a goldfish in seconds". In fact, form a biological perspective even rain water is pretty close to ion-free.
That’s a great question: internally what we have done is when preparing the new empty database, we also run a “bundle exec rake db:schema:load” against it. Depending on your setup, it can be hard to do.

I am exploring some options like loading schema from a schema.sql file or something along the lines of what pg_dump does for schema export.

Would love to hear any ideas.
Are there any decent alternatives to stripe or is it the only game in town?
Is there any contract for future performance?

If there is no contract for future performance, can there be a securities contract?

Is this correct?: If there is no written contract, the state and defendants may refer to Statute of Frauds. (If there is no written contract for future performance valued at greater than like $500, defendant can motion to dismiss due to Statute of Frauds?).

Do the States and the SEC have any statuory duty to provide `def is_a_security(asset) -> bool` service; wherein securities are assessed according to the Howey Test and other case law pertaining to what constitutes a securities contract? Or only after 40+ states (n exchanges per asset per state) have reviewed each asset for list?
EV Chargers for All
I don’t know why this author frames it this way.

Recycling greywater is an old technology. People in Tuscon pioneered municipal laws to allow this, which then spread across Arizona.

Blackwater treatment comes in many forms — your septic tank with a leach field is an example.

The Earthship folks out in Taos, NM have designs that recycles residential water at least five times for years.

There are permaculture sites that have been doing this, and advocating for this for years.

There are commercial sites recycling greywater here in Arizona. A major outlet mall here in Phoenix. Intel’s fab in metro Phoenix (there’s even a slide deck!). The new TSMC fab in Phoenix will use similar methods.

It’s not as if a startup invented all of this. These can all be accomplished with fairly low tech. It isn’t even an “extreme” decentralization. If people want to get into “extreme” decentralization, there are also: onsite composting, onsite food production (such as perennial food forests), integrated pest management, etc.
honestly strikes me as a HN sorta thing where there is a small group of motivated and technically savvy types. noise-to-signal ratio is pretty good, and overt or covert 'hailcoporate' sorta stuff is not especially common.
> with more Reddit communities coming back from the blackout, their opportunity to claim the user base in the long run is already passed

Perhaps, but on June 30th Apollo (most likely) goes dark. So there may be another group of folks checking it out.
This is awesome! Have you given any thought to writing a Sonos connector? It would be great to have streaming of my own collection. Right now, my solution is a NAS.
