Global warming is just one of several issues with little opportunity for personal impact that I've observed people melting down over to the point of apparent dysfunction. The fact that there are political line correlations may be partially due to cliquey communications mediums acting as a contagion vector for mental illness.
Commutative means that changing the order of the operands yields the same result. Ex: a+b = b+a. In that way, "alternative" is (mostly) commutative, but there are exceptions: Amazon is an alternative to a local bookstore, but a local bookstore is not necessary an alternative to Amazon.

The transitive property implies that if a=b and b=c, then a=c. "Alternatives" are also (mostly) transitive. A counterexample would be that Slack is an alternative to IRC, and IRC is an alternative to Slack, but Slack is not an alternative to Slack!

We should have some brand of car install both plugs (as I understand the smarts are in the car, the plug is basically a dumb electrical connection) and then after a year or two see which people are using.
You might be surprised to find that the first amendment isn’t blanket protection for lying. You can’t, for instance, lie to the government. You also can’t lie to cover up a crime. You also can’t lie to defraud others. In addition to criminal consequences, you can also be found civilly liable when your actions, including public disclosures, cause damage to others.
CCS2 is... ok. It's not better engineered than NACS, but it's adequate.

In particular, it doesn't have the mechanical latch on top and has slightly larger DC conductors.
Render's second engineer (who's still here and doing really well) had no prior professional experience in software and was entirely self-taught. I encourage you to apply!
Dpreview's reviews from their golden era are of vastly higher quality and depth than anything I've seen on Gear Patrol's website, which also stretches itself thin over multiple domains, not just DSLR photography.

I have little hope that that quality or depth will be replicated in the future.
Higher GDP means little to nothing to the average consumer, and more tech is absolutely not automatically better. We're still coming to terms with the harms of the current and last generation tech, to say nothing of the extreme shifts ahead as AI/ML continue to explode.

Murder rates are rising, and there seems to be very little political will to make the systemic changes needed to address this.

Why would life expectancy continue to climb? Setting aside issues related to extreme weather and/or forced migrations in some regions, and taking into account recent trends like extreme spikes in colorectal cancer in younger adults for reasons we have yet to understand, and increasing awareness of the health impacts of various chemicals, plastics, etc, it seems problematic to assume higher life expectancy.

Health outcomes may improve in certain categories, but it seems almost certain that it will degrade in others.
So, you need a worker and I offer to day labor for you. At the end of the day, how do I get paid in bitcoin?
Too bad Elixir/Rust wasn’t used.

It seems to be the perfect platform for a communications service (and is also what Discord is built on).

And before that, WhatsApps was strictly Erlang.
His bosses get to pocket 90% of the value the worker created. Just because this is the status quo doesn't mean it's fair or not exploitation.
You've been able to package your java apps so to not require that from your users for a very long time, and in the more recent years, with the compartmentalization of the JDK, you've been able to ship a very striped down version of it, and even more recently, an AOT compiled/PGO optimized binary, so nowadays you can ship your instant starting/low footprint/well performing java code without Java/a JVM.
Yes, it would mitigate the TLB problem. Interesting that Oracle is also looking to solve this problem, but not by multithreading the Oracle RDBMS.
One-Percenters Keep Shopping at the Dollar Store
Hello runako. Thank you for your thoughtful comments. If PropBox existed when you experienced your last transaction, I believe the concerns you had at that time would not have existed. The giant water repairs would have been exposed prior to the time you made the offer. PropBox recommends a per-sale home inspection, and requires the seller to complete a seller condition report. PropBox also provides all sellers with a range of value like other sites do today, but the seller shares that information upfront to the prospective buyer. PropBox is an advertising platform so there is no stopping a seller from getting help if they have a question the platform hasn't already answered. We are hopeful the seller will have a pre-sale home inspection, professional photography, and we require a seller condition report. Here is how I summarize what will happen and why:

PropBox believes transparency builds trust. Trust between buyer and seller has been absent in real estate for over 100 years. Astute home buyers will recognize your advertisement's value and respond favorably to your efforts. You empower the buyer to decide to go ahead when you share information upfront that they would only see after they made an offer, if ever, in a typical transaction. They avoid the cost of a home inspection, and they learn the condition from an independent professional trained to find any flaws, as opposed to you accepting the liability. They review your condition report, which helps them understand what to expect. They can act with confidence because of your efforts.

You benefit with a greater chance they will make an offer because they have seen the virtual presentation, know the condition, and communicate with the people who know the house and neighborhood best. You will likely receive a higher offer and enjoy a far lower risk of issues post-closing. You are leading the effort to make a real estate transaction fast, simple, inexpensive, and valuable to both parties.
Note that New Zealand has yet to extradite Kim Dotcom to the USA. Somehow the legal system keeps grinding on, which is the opposite you would expect from a kangaroo court.
I sympathize with the idea that someone should be punished for the systemic failures leading to the pandemic, and additional failures that exacerbated it. Ultimately the problem is way bigger than one guy, though.

My impression is that hindsight is 20:20, and even though we now know the damage that was caused, I don’t think any of the actions that led up to the disaster were criminal. It’s not illegal to have systems so precarious and yet so dangerous. Many such systems still exist (see: 2007 financial crisis).

My hope is that this will serve as a correction and that virology can continue while avoiding the riskiest scenarios.
Note that realclimatescience.com is nothing to do with realclimate.org (run by actual climatologists), but run by Tony Heller, an electrical engineer who calls himself Steven Goddard (see https://www.desmog.com/steven-goddard/)
It's not seemingly impossible, it's scientifically proven that the general public can't know when the price of Bitcoin will collapse. And it has nothing to do with the general public being stupid and any of that bullshit.

It's called the efficient market hypothesis.

If it was known that the price of Bitcoin will collapse on the 7th of June 2025, every owner would have sold their Bitcoins on the 6th of June. But then the price would collapse on the 6th, not on the 7th. But of course, the definite knowledge the price will collapse on the 6th would mean the price would collapse on the 5th and so forth.

Hence why accurate, definite and widely believed predictions are impossible.
If it's possible for NACS to support 800V charging then that is not really a very meaningful advantage of CCS, is it? I think Tesla themselves will eventually switch to 800v at some point.

V3 Superchargers have liquid cooled cables, that's why they are thinner than V2 cables. V4 has even crazier liquid cooling, where the conductors are directly immersed in the coolant.
IMO then let's standardize on what the replacement to NACS/CCS should be. Personally, I don't see the big deal behind a larger connector, especially if it's a bit more future proof without requiring extremely clever engineering. I mean we've dealt with huge gasoline/diesel pump handles for nearly a century.
I get your point but your analogy doesn’t quite work.
I wonder if the NTSB will do a report on this.
I use IntelliJ, which is a Java + Swing app I think.
Does efficient operation of the dev team not directly impact revenue? If you can’t release effectively, causing delays, the CTO will notice when the CFO gets pissed!
The best 'find things on the bottom of the ocean' gear is usually on a ship somewhere, but just happens to be in-between ships, but is on the Jersey islands in the English Channel. Except it still needs a military cargo plane to retrieve it, deliver it to Newfoundland and be moved by ship on location.

Time isn't on their side.
The thermals weren't misdesigned exactly, but the solder was below expected performance in several key attributes. It is not the only product that got screwed by new leadfree solder being not the best at the time.
I agree. Imagine if they die because they forgot to change batteries.
If the viewing window collapsed then they would have been pretty much instantly compressed to a paste.
Can confirm. I've been fifth wheeling for >20 years. They're much easier to tow and you don't need as much length behind the tow vehicle for an equivalent amount of space (because the bedroom is usually above the hitch point). They're also much easier to hook up in the first place because you don't have to repeatedly back up the truck "blind" to get the tow vehicle into the perfect spot.

Fifth wheels can seem scary to people who are not familiar with them, but the benefits are numerous if you can overcome that fear.

Yea, things get a bit more dire if you build an adversarial model where resellers are allowed to declare reputation bankruptcy.
The Jason ROV has a six mile tether:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_(ROV)

And the Titanic was discovered by camera sled being towed by a ship.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argo_(ROV)

So your search might have been a bit too quick. It certainly is possible possible to build a tethered crewed submersible, though this vehicle wasn't.

There's no registration headaches about the car not meeting the differing safety/emissions regulations in the different markets? It seems like its a massive hassle for people to even bring kei cars from JP to US, I routinely hear about how expensive it is to import cars across markets.
The location of the door really doesn't allow it to be opened while its in the water. I would guess, as I have no evidence other than an untrained eye, that the window would either be fully underwater or at least partially underwater. It would sink if it was opened. Not to mention that they would need to equalize the pressure inside the sub to even push it open.
If indeed that viewport collapsed at 4000m as the article suggests, they probably didn't even have time to realize they were dying.
I agree, but the whole set-up seems to have so many massive safety issues that it seems like they were relying on pure dumb luck more than anything else.

This feels more like someone went skydiving with a homemade parachute in strong winds above an active volcano.
> And slowly moved to "Don't do art stuff"

Any insight on how this part happened? As a total layman, architecture strikes me as only 10% or so art in the painting sense of art. It could be more if you also consider e.g. software design to be an art, but at that point most things are art.
He still killed other people, and fired the only guy who got it right, denying him revenue and pension and health insurance.
Good stuff.

I’d perhaps add a paragraph on bcrypt and why it must be slow.
they are successful in spite of the memory unsafety of C because of the culture that the behavior of a failing system is a principle feature of the code, which is common thinking in C and easier to do when you don't have the crutch of exceptions.
LibreOffice is still built on Java, that's probably the main consumer app that still is. Of course, there are developer tools like the Jetbrains IDEs still running on the JVM, but those aren't for mainstream consumers.

Nowadays it can be hard to tell if something uses Java, since it's recommended to just bundle a JRE with your app so a user doesn't have to know/care about Java.
>There's a reason the Ford CEO declared a few years back that Ford was to become "a data company".

The reason is that 'data companies' are valued vastly higher than car companies with the same revenue.
Not exactly the point you're asking, but pg made a point [0] about spelling that I think about:

pg:
"11 yo asked why he had to learn spellings. I told him honestly that although spelling may not really matter, if he couldn't spell, people would think he was stupid. And that was sufficiently motivating."

Can I End a Sentence with a Preposition? [1]

Generally you can (as others and the article points out), but I would suggest you use it in a very limited manner. I still hear my high school teachers frightening chastising voice and it stops me doing it. :)

When people realize they can do it (or hear others doing it) they tend to overuse it for everything and it can drive those around you mad. That's when you get in the territory that pg describes IMHO.

One things that makes my skin crawl, is when I hear people speaking (loudly) into their mobile (which for some reason always seems to be in speaker mode) "Hello? Where you at?". /shiver

As an aside, Europe/UK electric kettles are much better and faster and hotter than American ones, because they are twice the voltage.

For real, compare them. The only ones in America that can even compete are hard-wired commercial deals.
To do power-to-grid you simply need to connect to the car's HVDC bus and tell the car "please don't panic if you see current flowing out, not in".

NACS handles the HVDC connection just fine, and simply lacks the second part. But it's just software, it can be standardized later.
ComfyUI is a nice complement to A1111, the node-based editor is great for prototyping and saving workflows.
Your HN karma is nearly 33 thousand. Why get so aggressive about a few down votes?

It's also the only planned trip for the company this year due to weather. So the sub has sat for a period of time before being put in use.

Do you think they do extensive trial runs first at the beginning of each season? Like send it to the bottom un-manned just to double check?

As my former boss liked to say "Things that aren't tested don't work."
My own threshold for "I created X" would be "I was solo dev, until it got legs of its own and started needing serious outside help." I don't know the story behind Oculus, but objectively Linux and a host of other famous OS projects do have origin stories like this. Yet for this project -- even by his own telling, it wasn't just him, but "me and Albert". Okay. Not to mention it was all done in a bigcorp environment -- which by definition means tons of support from all kind of people (even while others may be simultaneously blocking or competing against you).

That's why the "I created" self-description rings hollow in my book -- as it does in essentially every other corporate / large-org case I've heard of (whether done as self-promotion, or the puff stories we're told about people we're supposed to hire or have run our teams or otherwise).

And which is why even people like Steve Jobs, who of course "was" the products he was famously associated with -- never went around saying "I created this." Not because he lacked for ego, or because his contributions were not monumental. But because he was smart enough to understand that once things get to a certain scale -- this kind of attribution is both absurd, and entirely beside the point.
Filecoin is probably one of the best examples of a decentralized storage rewarded via crypto. There's also several Defi lending platforms that have helped students paying off debt, although I don't know enough about which networks are the best there.
"move fast and break things" may not be the best mantra for such an operation.
Amazon is also not necessarily an alternative to a local bookstore
Sure it can support higher voltage in a new revision, but that means currently deployed chargers have an inferior design in that aspect, doesn't it?

Well, I still can use ChatGPT labeling for many other purposes anyway.
Yeah I'm sorry about that. Maybe someone could download it and host it somewhere (which would be contrary to the license, but possibly in the public interest in this case).
From time to time I've seen in here, even today in 2023, people in the comments arguing against using CSS as the way to manage layouts in web (like in a post a few days ago about the complexity of CSS of this days - I guess they want us to go back to use HTML tables?) but the whole message with all of this stuff many of us have been doing instinctively is that CSS is not only the meant way to do layouts and all web design and styling, but used appropriately, can save people lots of headaches in the future.
Beat your head against the wall multiple times until it clicks.

IMHO - the best way to learn anything is to just sit and hack away, if you wanna get up quickly - read through the docs, make sure you understand the concepts and then grab k3s (or run k3d locally in docker) and deploy something to it. WordPress is a good start.

The original Airpods were, put quite nicely, garbage. Their saving grace was integration with iOS - the sound quality and microphone was both a downgrade from Earpods, and cost ~5x more. I certainly met my fair share of people who swear by them, but rarely anyone who will defend them outside the convenience factor.

The Airpods Pro had a much better debut and design, but the ANC was 2 years too late to earn the title of "first ANC earbuds". Spatial audio is certainly not an Apple invention, wireless head-tracking headphones have existed for almost a decade in the industry.

I'm mostly just baffled that these editors punch-up an article like this, read it back to themselves, and then publish it. "Tech geeks" encompassing the purview of Apple enthusiasts, sure. Most people have already been impressed by this tech though, seeing a multi-trillion dollar company do it again doesn't impress me. Bonus points if that company abuses their vendor privileges to make bad headphones the only ergonomic option.

People - including politicians - have said for many years that the BBC should sell iPlayer subscriptions to international viewers, but they just...don't. They also have a massive archive of beloved content, enough to be a first-class streaming platform, but that stuff's not available even to UK residents.
The language itself is very different, but Lua is a replacement for Tcl in the sense that it's a fairly simple and small language that can easily be embedded. i.e. it's about use cases rather than the language design.

I got my librem in the mail last week after waiting several years(!!) for shipping. It's complete trash. The software is shit, the battery is shit, it's expensive, low specs, completely unusable.

I'm willing to compromise a lot in order to go with the free software approach, but my god, just do better. There's no excuse for how un-functional this thing is. Try harder.

I had the same reaction with the pine phone a couple years ago. At least that one shipped sooner though.

Increase timeline to account for scaled adoption and project volatility for those variables.
Exactly. The notion that skin in the game decreases risky behavior assumes that everyone is perfectly rational, which is demonstrably untrue. It's a classic "spherical cow" modeling of human behavior.

Overconfidence, hubris, obsession, laziness, envy, spite, and a nearly-infinite list of other "irrational" behaviors are a function of human existence and would cause someone to take stupid risks with both themselves and others!

The vehicle that discovered the titanic was a sled pulled behind a ship on a tether. A thick steel cable can take a lot of load.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argo_(ROV)

Also, subs operate at close to neutral buoyancy. A tether does not need to support the weight of the vehicle, it only needs to resist the force of drag that the water exerts on the vehicle moving at whatever the max tow / lift speed is.

> Jitsi is also extremely nice by the way and the pair of Jitsi and Zulip is extremely nice.

I'm a big fan of Jitsi. Haven't used it in any business settings, but do 5 person calls every so often for my TTRPG group and it works great.
Also pointing in that direction (?),

- "Lochridge’s recommendation was that non-destructive testing of the Titan’s hull was necessary to ensure a “solid and safe product.” The filing states that Lochridge was told that such testing was impossible, and that OceanGate would instead rely on its much touted acoustic monitoring system."

- "The company claims this technology, developed in-house, uses acoustic sensors to listen for the tell-tale sounds of carbon fibers in the hull deteriorating to provide “early warning detection for the pilot with enough time to arrest the descent and safely return to surface.”"
