I don't know.

Last year I believed interest rates would never rise to a level that would cause stock market crash but it happened. It was faster in the US but BoE also reluctantly is raising & market now pricing in 6-6.5% terminal.

Last year, I also believed Liz Truss would get away with 150B of energy subsidies by borrowing away. Because most politicians in the last decade have indeed got away with it. Rishi Sunak as FM spent 400B on furlough, covid loans and eat out to help out (idiotic idea imo). BUT, she didn't.

These events have changed my beliefs. Math is never wrong, just that sometimes market is so complex and economy goes through cycles that it seems illogical but eventually, it will all even out.
>finally reciprocity with the US

I remember traveling to European countries in the early 80s and needing to cross immigration at each border, but not having to secure a Visa ahead of time for most if any. You were given 30 to 90 days depending on the country.

Remember though, the US is one of only three countries (Eritrea, Myanmar are the other 2) that taxes its own citizens even if they have not lived in the US for years. I lived in SE Asia over 6 years. I've also worked in KSA and other areas, so I know. Amazingly, you can get a tourist's Visa to KSA online in like a half hour if that as a US citizen. A working Visa is a bit more difficult.

On another note, I believe Europe is in for a big downwards economic spiral worse than for the US, and does not have the geographic isolation or resource richness and flat, free land availability of the US, so this is just another dent to their future income via tourism. The war in Ukraine is not helping that to be sure. I live overseas for years and had to deal with US immigration for my wife, so I know it is lop-sided, but per Hillary Clinton and others with the same viewpoint, it is because the US Passport is the most valuable in the world. It was argued that the advantages bestowed upon US citizens needs to be met with things like FATCA, pressures on foreign countries to report US citizens banking/financial information to the US, and the once-nominal fee for rescinding your US Passport is now more punitive should you choose to give up your US citizenship.

Given the dominance of the US in NATO over the past several decades, where Europe could save money on military spending to boost their own economies, all the while having the world's largest superpower be there to step in when needed, or so goes the theory, maybe wishing to include the US and its tourists in the general Visa rule is not a great idea at this time? We've got millions of illegal immigrants coming to the US every year[1] with Germany, the UK, France, and Italy receiving the lion's share of the EU (sans UK).

That was actually funny. Otherwise, please call me back when vehicles with such batteries will be available.
There is only one solution to the climate apocalypse, and it's not popular:

Fossil carbon extraction needs to be halted. Worldwide. Close the coal mines, shut down the oil rigs.

Everything else is just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. It's very, very simple: at the beginning of the Paleozoic era, atmospheric carbon was 20x higher than today, a level that the current biosphere cannot survive in. Gradually, over the next few hundred million years, that carbon was sequestered into the ground. We are now digging it back up and burning it, thus returning it to the atmosphere, within a span of decades. You can talk about LED lightbulbs and carbon credits till the cows come home, but the only thing that can halt this is preventing people from burning carbon that came from the ground - and the only way to stop that is to ban its extraction.

"But what will we do for energy?" Lots of things. We have options. Personally I'm a fan of the magic green rocks that give energy forever.

"But how will we power things that need high energy density / make plastics / lubricate my e-bike chain etc" - Oil. We can make it from anything carbon based. It's not even hard. We just have to stop digging it up and burning it.
Obligatory reminder that "negotiations" in this case just means that Medicare dictates a price.
I'd avoid hosting a tor exit node at all costs, considering that they are a lot of bad actors on tor. Even some 3 letter agents can host cp on your tor sites and then accuse you.
How would they get network? Ground stations would just blacklist them.
It's not. I come from that area. He's telling the truth.
You still need downlinks with this. You could have some base stations run by amateurs, but that paints a target on their backs in a similar way running a Tor node already does.
one that has a lot to do with publicly traded
companies rather than private ones

Are there a lot of private companies doing big things (ie, $90M wrench factories?) out of their own war chests?

I can think of a few examples but my perception is that this is rare enough to essentially disregard... but, I could well be wrong.

Even if a private company does such a thing, it would almost always be via some kind of financing, right? Which creates its own sort of short-term pressure even if it's not as psychotically ADHD as the pressure exerted by Wall Street.

I don't think it's accurate to say our "system was designed"
to do this sort of thing,

I mean, of course it wasn't intentionally designed for this outcome.

But it was designed for rapid and almost entirely unfettered economic growth. Given that, what other outcome was possible?

if only because 50-90 years [ago] it didn't do this sort of thing.

It wasn't possible 50-90 years ago. There were world wars, the seas were not safe, communication was glacially slow or impossible, etc. Also the U.S. was not yet so rich that it couldn't afford to pay its own people to make its own stuff.
It sounds like you have never been to a country where money can buy anything you want, including freedom. Many such countries in the world.
This is similar to the first Episode of the "Mr. Robot" tv show. wow.
> The earlier you retire to spend it the better we are as an economy. So yes. Go for it.

A problem in the US is that the system essentially forces people to hoard more and more and more because there is no useful social safety net. So you are forced to constantly think what if. What if I live longer than average? What if there are unexpected expenses? So the only responsible answer is keep working and hoarding for those what ifs. It's not a healthy system since it encourages the hoarding but also because it prevents people from enjoying a longer retirement.

Show HN: High school transcript generator for homeschoolers
Hi everyone,

Great Books Homeschool has just released this free tool for generating high school transcripts using the standard American unweighted GPA system. It's available to the public at no cost, and no account creation is required.

These are both resources that would have saved me time as a new homeschooling parent, and I hope they are helpful to others.

Comments and feedback are welcome!
> older workers contribute to the competition for shrinking demand for human labor.

Posted a similar request elsewhere, but I think you need to substantiate this claim.

Furthermore, if you're claiming that tech destroys jobs in the general economy, then the consistent position would be that young or old should stop working in tech, not just older people. But the research I've seen shows that tech jobs generate non-tech jobs on net.
My VW PHEV does this. It doesn't use the HV battery below 20% and the range calculator knows this.
That's the reason why O̶p̶e̶n̶AI.com was panicking to governments to stop and slow down the rapid pace of $0 downloadable free AI models and LLMs in the first place, since anyone can have a GPT-3.5 in their hands and use it anywhere with Llama 2.

A year ago, many believed that Meta was going to destroy itself as the stock went below $90 in peak fear. Now it looks like Meta is winning the race to zero in AI and all O̶p̶e̶n̶AI.com can do is just sit their and watch their cloud-based AI decline in performance and run to fix outage after outage.

No outage(s) when your LLM is on-device.
Return on capital and deprecation tend to exceed energy input costs for most plants so it makes sense to run them 24x7x365 rather than over-size them and run them when energy costs are lower.
Thanks so much for clarifying.

I hadn't adjusted my mental models for the new interest rates, I was still thinking 2%-3%.
Agreed. There’s only so much you can cut costs. I feel like that’s the only focus for most companies now, not expanding revenue/markets, unfortunately.
I Spent Last Year Training with Steven Kotler–Here’s What Happened Next
I’ve never seen the term chomo before and I’m curious about its origin. Is it “homo” but with ‘c’ for child tacked on the front, or is it Spanish? Or something else, like a portmanteau of child molester?
Any privacy advocate would do (a). There's lots of reasons to do (b) if you don't trust the government of the country you're in, which seems quite reasonable in a lot of countries around the world.
This makes no sense to me. Take Los Angeles. Almost everyone has AC. If you can power AC, you can charge an EV, and the loads peak at different times. (AC peaks around 3pm, EV can peak anywhere from 7PM to 5AM depending on programming)

Blackouts can happen, but EV normally charge when power is cheapest and demand is lowest.
Depends on the jurisdiction, but if you declare your tips as taxable income you don’t run into this problem.

If you don’t declare tips and pay taxes and unemployment, why would you expect to benefit from those programs?

Extremely unfair? After he did that, a Constitutional Amendment was passed to stop that from happening again. Presidents have an enormous advantage in reelection, and the country was concerned that we were at risk of a "president for life".

He was quite ill during his final term, which put him at a severe disadvantage in negotiating with Stalin. This was hidden from the public.
This may come off sounding more combative than I mean it to, but has anything worked for you, and if so, what's worked?

Such an ill defined assertion does not give much confidence...
How well does ASAN cope when the libraries your application uses aren't compiled with ASAN? Does it cause false negatives or false positives?
You're talking about a gearbox. Those aren't generally used in EVs, because an electric motor will happily put out tens of thousands of RPMs with plenty of torque at low speeds.
Also big cruise ships.
We’re not having kids precisely because humans aren’t going to stop until they’ve ruined this planet. It’s immoral (in our opinion) to bring children into a world that 100 years from now will be significantly spoiled.
That is amazing! I’d never thought of leveraging the pressure of ocean depth for this, it’s a great idea. For anyone reading, the energy that OP is talking about would actually force the fresh water above the surface of the ocean without pumps.

I didn’t get to the whole paper, but I imagine the challenges of keeping that membrane clean are remarkable.
That's not how Tor works, you don't need to run a tor exit to use it.

If you were actually doing something nefarious and using tor for anonymity, running an exit from the same ip doesn't sound extremely smart.
The way I learned it is that it is a portmanteau of child molester. The extra "o" in the middle is used because "chmo" is hard to pronounce.
Yes, the latter
Look at his later stepping down as President setting a precedent for two terms, despite being a shoo-in for re-election.

It's not consistent with him being afraid of assassination.
What's specifically wrong about the first crusade? It was in response to the rise of the seljuk Turks and their advance on the Byzantines and also similar to the Muslim invasions of the middle east, northern africa, southern italy, and spain.

That area of the world had changed hands between Rome and Persia for hundreds of years before then as well.
A lot of wink-wink edgyness on both sides. Almost as if there are no mature people sharing their views.
The eternal struggle. Information wants to be free, and then people use those freedoms to do the most screwed up things imaginable, and people like this pay the price.

It’s a damn shame how the original cyberpunk dream played out. We could’ve had a world where companies couldn’t do anything about people using their ideas. Instead we get one where you can’t even be anonymous without rubbing elbows with child predators.

It’s surprising how much anonymity and the subject at hand are correlated. In my 20s I liked to explore, as I’m sure many of you do too. I once met someone in the Whonix community who wanted to nix google maps entirely; he spent a lot of time downloading maps and trying to make a way to view them locally, which I think is going to be prescient one day. It already is in many parts of the world — you don’t have cell service, so you can’t just pull up google maps. Nowadays starlink solves that problem, but back then it wasn’t clear that we’d ever be able to have maps at our fingertips regardless of internet access. This was back in the era of that poor CNET reporter that got lost with his family in the mountains precisely because of no maps, and ended up dying to exposure when he went to get help. Never leave your car.

I found all of this fascinating. What a project! Make all of google maps accessible right from your phone, with no internet. I briefly fell in love with that community.

Ultimately what drove me away was the literal flood of child porn that was always right next to anything to do with tor, whonix, or anonymity in general. I have a pretty high tolerance for “operating in gray areas,” like this guy. But one of the tragedies of the cyberpunk dream is that the entire scene has been coopted by cp. In some sense cp is the ultimate test of anonymity, since you’ll be thrown in prison pretty much instantly if caught. So perhaps it’s no surprise that it’s the most common and pervasive result of anonymity, but it sure is a shame.
You need approval to launch satellites. Plus a stupid amount of money.
Medicare dictating a price sounds fine. Gravy train is ending (pharma dictating the price) and pharma is in shambles.

I’d like the Times and the media in general to start reporting the names of the individuals participating in these efforts, instead of faceless corporations.
Momentum Is the Most Important Factor When Building a Project
If running Tor protected you from any responsibility of traffic coming from you then it would be a real scenario. But there is an expectation that you should be at least somewhat responsible of traffic you generate. That is why running Tor exit node is often linked with meeting law enforcement officials.
Are the drug companies forced to provide the drugs at that price?
Thank you for operating it as long as you did.
In some countries "online nefariousness" include things like trying to access gay communities, or looking information about abortion.

Currently developing both in swift and go and i have the exact inverse feeling.

Go seems to have been developped by true masters that really understand that less is more. They've also kept a laser sharp focus on working on things that really matters and took the time to do things right.

Swift on the other hand looks like more and more bloated every day, without adressing the main pain points of the experience of coding in swift in the real world.

"The idea behind the process is simple. It combines two unlimited resources - sunlight and seawater - to provide ideal growing conditions for crops in hot, arid environments.

The innovation utilises the cooling and humidifying power of water vapour produced from evaporating salt water. Using modeling and simulation techniques developed in collaboration with our partners at Aston University, we are able to process local climate data to predict greenhouse performance and inform the design. The combined effect of reducing temperature and increasing humidity, together with providing a protected environment for crops, results in up to 90% reduction in evapotranspiration. This greatly reduces irrigation requirements, which can be provided by desalination, and improved growing conditions.

As a result operating costs are lower, yields increase, and farmers can benefit from year-round production of high-value horticultural produce. "
As with Sealand/HavenCo and international waters/micronations more broadly. Even if no country with guns chooses to take direct action, it takes very little--if they care enough--to cut off supplies and any meaningful communications.
It did outsell the Corolla, it was the 2 most popular car sold in America only behind the Ford F150 which has been number one for FORTY YEARS.
> Even some 3 letter agents can host cp on your tor sites and then accuse you.

Well they can probably put illegal material in your apartment and then accuse you.
It's short for "child molester," and happens to sound a lot like "homo." Very common term in prison.
Everyone time I read a low charge time, the thing that comes to mind is the ability of the charging cable to carry that much power that quickly. Minimally that means you’re delivering 6x the electricity (2x the amount and 3x as fast). I’m assuming the charging is pretty efficient, so you have to scale up the charger, and a bunch of issues start coming up. For this reason I think 10m charge times are bs.
It would probably be easier to leave an exit node on a barge in international waters to be honest.
At that time in Christian West, the notion of "Judeo-Christianity" would be considered an oxymoron. But it is possible that the general is question is in fact alluding to that era from ignorance.
The processing overhead is pretty minimal (take a look at our iMX6ULL, for example), because the containers are just fancy processes at the end of the day. The only real drawback we see is boot time, but you can optimise that as well.
It's not a matter of greed as you seem to be implying. In this case, the money is really just a proxy for how practically difficult desalinazation is vs. the alternatives. It's the same reason why we don't ship parcels via ICBM; the alternatives are way easier on multiple dimensions. The juice isn't worth the squeeze.
i think this was more than CP.

"What do you do now?

I left Austria and now work for a German company in IT, and have a data center in Kosovo… hosting grey area things there. Warez primarily.

Also, I do want to add that I have more backstory. The CP was not the only reason for the raid.

What do you mean?

Someone used the same exit to hack a NATO facility in Poland, which deals with chemical and biological weapons. Disarming, etc.

The US tried to extradite me from Croatia in 2017, with not much more info than national security.

They lost their case as I am married to a local and cannot be extradited outside the EU."
I did not.

At that point id just configure SES outright and not even use this solution. Most other services use direct mailing from their own servers
This sounds like North Korean authoritarianism. Even the CCP would back away from this.

Edit: responding to comment below about CFCs - Equating CFCs with all fossil fuels is an error of few orders of magnitude in scale.

Edit: Those complaining I can't use reply button, it's because of throttling.
As someone who has driven the complete breadth of Pennsylvania (300 miles) dozens of times in my life in ICE cars, the rule is that you add 30 minutes of stoppage per 3 hours of driving, in order to stretch, use the bathroom, refill your water bottle, get snacks, etc. As long as an EV can fill 3 hours of charge (180 miles) in under 30 minutes, charging time adds nothing to the trip. The only thing that matters is that rest stops have adequate charger capacity.
The MAC address anyone can change?
Yes of course it's possible.

What we need is a new philosophical movement accompanied by both technical solutions and economic infrastructure/incentives.

The reason why the Free Software Movement failed was that it did not account for economic incentives. Developers need to eat, have housing, and pay of health care.

The Fediverse will also fail because it too doesn't account for the economic realities of running servers for billions of users. (I have seen several Fediverse instances shutdown because the admin got overwhelmed financially & psychologically).

This new philosophical idea would in my opinion have.

1. A rebuild of browser's, operating systems, phones and Computers. In a way that would make them difficult to abuse by third party apps.

2. Economic incentives/infrastructure that help facilitate Opensource work

The benefits would definitely a mean faster pace of innovation and technology that is less abusive to people.
Yes, and the police have bigger fish to fry as well. Your focus is still one-sided. That’s my point.
I doubt that outside some island nations any population is ready to pay the price what it would truly mean to effectively lower emissions. Certainly for developing countries it is unacceptable. And the developed ones, will not go far enough. Or if they try it will be political and potentially economical suicide in short term.
> Further, as Kosovo is an extremely corrupt country, we are able to bribe both executive and judicative as well as getting information about court orders and raids before execution.

What happens if someone else is willing to pay a higher bribe than you are...?
It stands for child molester. The other term you hear all the time inside is “weird” or “weirdo.” There are others, diaper sniper, skinner (“skin bief”). You generally won’t get killed though. People like to say that but in fed low, where all the cp stuff goes, they’re all protected and they’ll ship you out if you get caught hurting them. And they WILL tell.
Based on your wording, it sounds like you're conflating the two things together... running an exit node and using tor are orthogonal to one another both in value provided to the user as well as effort involved.

Plausible reasons for:

(a) you greatly value privacy and the privacy of others such that you are willing to altruistically provide an exit node as a service; your country is a police state and you are sympathetic to those affected while also willing to accept the risk

(b) you greatly value your privacy and do not trust your ISP; you cannot access content sanctioned in your country; you are an internet engineer and need to test services which depend on privacy as a core feature
Well, it’s mostly going to be experience to get you there - pattern recognition of “I’ve seen this type of problem before, here’s how we solved it then, and here’s the pros and cons of that solution”

Experience doesn’t always equate to time measured in years or even decades, but it does account for time in front of problems.
Common knowledge from when Tor just started was to limit your exit traffic to countries which cannot extradite you. And definitely block your own country.
Technically, yes, but realistically most random mom-and-pop places just have a random $50 router somewhere in the corner.

Would it be fair/sane/reasonable to convict such business owners if one of their customers commits a cybercrime?
