Yes power in CA is expensive, and might be right for a Volt. However, here is a comparison of a Polestar 2 using $0.36 electricity:
Full charge (.36 * 78kwh) = 28.08
Range = 276 mi
Cost of fuel per mile = $0.10

Subaru Outback
Full tank of gas (ca avg 4.89 18.5 gallon capacity) = 90.46
Range = 476 mi
Cost of fuel per mile = $0.19

Its still almost half the cost of gas. That said, experientially at times it feels more expensive. Also, there are rate plans that move the cost lower to something like $0.21 instead, which really relies on you managing your charging times.

That suggests that all of the distribution, maintenance, and administrative costs are on the order of 2-3 centers per kWh, which is about 1/8th of the cost of a kWh.

Hm, I can almost see the standard HN response here. I'm thinking specifically of the non-programming posts of a regular HN'er programmer[1]. Something like:

Unions work on their own behalf and distort the market. Both in terms of the needs of individual workers and the efficiency of the company to deliver products/services. This negatively affects the company, and if the trend spreads ends up making the entire U.S. economy less competitive.

The attraction is that, especially for more complicated queries with complex joins, subqueries, aggregates, etc., that the structure of PRQL much more closely matches the "English", mental-model of the query. I can just read PRQL linearly, from top to bottom, and at each point I know what is being "pipelined" into the next phase of the query.

With SQL I have to look all over the place. And it's not just that FROM should come before SELECT, it's that if I'm doing, say, an aggregation with a group by, normal SQL doesn't really have anything to make me think about the ungrouped rows, and then merge them together to get the aggregate values. With PRQL I can just go top to bottom, and for me it's much easier to reason about (i.e. first get all the rows, then group by some specific columns, then take aggregates, etc.)

And I say this as someone who spends about half my days in SQL at present.

You don't really need them. An "average top rate of $49/hr" is like saying that the average top salary for a SWE is $500,000/yr. Great number; now, who is actually making it, and how many of them are there? Because this number is supposed to be, somehow, a representation of the gains of a typical worker who is subject to the deal. If it is not representative of such a worker, it's a misrepresentation.
And… near real-time with high uptime is relatively more costly to build / maintain / deploy / operate than batch — so save your org the cost!
I do not understand what salary scheme for retention means. There exists $x to pay everyone in the company. You can start from dividing it equally amongst all employees. As you pay some employees more, you have to pay others less.

Keep going along this track and “max(individual rate, group rate)” will break down as you winnow down the definition of group.

Every year there are people who beat the indexes and there are people who perform worse than the indexes. Every successive year some proportion of the winners stay winners and some become losers. The interesting thing to note is that—if you look at the statistics—winning one year has almost no bearing on whether or not you win the next year.

Still, there are participants who flipped that weighted coin year after year and caught heads five years in a row. It doesn't mean they have a successful strategy. It just means that if you flip a 45/55 coin five years in a row, two out of one hundred people will get a string of heads.

I've personally witnessed all of my day-trading friends go through this (I almost said "learn this lesson" but I'm not sure they have). For a while they beat the index and they're convinced their strategy is sound. One day something unexpected happens and they're suddenly in the hole. Often this is compounded by having an enormous tax bill on "gains" that no longer exist, necessitating selling off holdings that are deep in the red, making it even harder to get back to positive.

Do some individuals exist who can reliably beat the markets? Sure. They just are exceedingly likely to not be you, and none of them are offering their services to you.

I think those links often miss the forest for the trees. Meat production, disregarding energy (that has to become carbon neutral anyway) and in steady state, is carbon neutral. It might require more agricultural land, true, but equating potential one-off carbon capture of reforesting with ongoing fossil emissions is just wrong.
> You can have both ways which I'm shocked isn't more common. Everyone in the same position gets paid the same, if anyone negotiates higher for themselves everyone gets a pay bump to match. Now you get paid max(individual rate, group rate).

Except this misses the fact that negotiating for your own pay raise is now suddenly harder. Suppose there's a company with 100 non-supervisory employees, each of which $200k worth of value for the company, gets paid $100k. Under a regime where everyone's pay is automatically bumped up to the highest rate, if you're trying to negotiate a $10k raise for yourself, you're actually negotiating for the company to part with $1M ($10k * 1000 employees). Without such a regime, a negotiated $10k raise for yourself only costs the company $10k. Obviously negotiating in the latter situation would be easier to pull off.

Of course, the real world is more complicated than this, because the union can hire trained negotiators or whatever, but your simplistic model of "max(individual rate, group rate) so everyone wins" makes no sense.

There is no such thing as irrevocability in IT(unless we talk about physical retail sale registers every retail business has to have - these are certified standalone hardware devices that print receipts and store the transaction details in write once memory). At least in this EU country the requirement is that you keep the original file for the retention period and you present it on request. If you mess with it in the meantime and you get caught you're essentially falsifying financial tax records. It doesn't matter if you keep your invoices in .txt files on a hard drive or in a cloud based "irrevocable" system But if you're doing retail your accounting data better matches with the printout from that hardware device that logs all the sales.

However, having said that the complexity in doing small business accounting (at least here in Poland) is not in generating invoices, but in accounting for them correctly with regards to VAT. Is this just a domestic sale/purchase? Is it an EU goods or services purchase/sale? Is it the same but for outside EU? Is the client a company or an individual? Does he/she want to return a item. Did you send an invoice, but never got paid? (you're still on the hook for the VAT) All those things matter and affect how you're supposed to record your VAT. In many cases of cross border transactions you end up recording VAT in a special way so it cancels out, but you need to report the right amounts. The logic to not mess this up is what makes people pay for this software. There is nothing stopping you doing all of it in Excel if you want, but if you mess up... It might be expensive.

The other side might see woke in practice as intolerable virtue signalling and self-aggrandizing whose actions often border on farcical.

A lot of publicly-published forecasts of climate change have been ridiculously - and I would emphasize hilariously so - conservative on their numbers and predictions. Pretty much every “worst case scenario” morphs into a “best case scenario” over a year or three, before being dropped wholesale for being unrealistically optimistic due to how fast climate change is accelerating.

So can this happen “sooner than expected”, along with the massive raft of climate change outcomes that are cropping up 20, 50, and even 100 years “earlier than expected”?

Let’s just say that if climate change was on the stock exchange, I’d be dumping serious money into its futures. Nothing seems to be truly “off the table” anymore, even the truly outlandish outcomes are becoming terrifyingly prescient.

I agree that Windows needs a better system for the user to restrict the permissions of an application. On the other hand: many AAA video games are known to use such a practice, and in such a situation, the typical gamer would rather allow the installation of such a kernel module instead of boycotting the game, as would be much more rational.

> it's still safer than e.g. C.

This is arguable and I think overall it's actually harder to correctly write unsafe Rust, even if sometimes maybe in some sense safer than C when you screw up.

In Rust everything has to obey Rust's semantic constraints. For safe Rust that's fine because the language itself promises you're obeying. You can't introduce anything which would be a problem, so you needn't even care what those problems are.

But in unsafe Rust you are responsible for the same guarantees that safe Rust gave everybody. And the rules you're responsible for obeying are truly difficult so that you may not properly understand them. If you screw up, that's instantly Undefined Behaviour.

Let's take a fairly old but brutal real example from Rust's standard library. core::mem::uninitialized<T>(). This function is labelled deprecated (as well as unsafe) in your Rust, but once upon a time it was the usual way to make some uninitialized buffer in which to construct something.

But it was actually UB almost always†. Because what it says is, OK, I know I didn't initialize a T, but trust me, I'll sort that out later, lets say this is a T anyway. And for a time people persuaded themselves that this is OK for at least some types. After all, if T was u8 (a byte) then who cares what its value is, any value is valid, isn't it? Well, yes, but "uninitialized" isn't a value, it's a 257th possible state, the compiler knows we didn't initialize this, and therefore all optimisations are valid even if they wouldn't be valid for any possible initialized state of the memory - we didn't initialize it so we're not entitled to assume it had any of those values.

In C you will get away with this but in Rust you've created Undefined Behaviour, which is not OK. Today you would use the MaybeUninit<T> type so that you can explicitly initialize it (once you have something to initialize it with) and then MaybeUninit::assume_init() to get your T instead now that it's initialized, and (if you did it correctly) that is safe.

† If T is a Zero Size Type then this function isn't dangerous, because it makes nothing and then says this nothing is actually a T, and the compiler says well, thanks for telling me, I don't really care but whatever. No UB. Likely this only happens in generic code, but it's safe.
Oh, what about VAT?

Scott Alexander has an interesting take on legacy admissions[1]: the idea is to admit some privileged kids, and some smart kids, so that each can benefit from the other's presence. In other words, if you're a smart kid trying to pick a college, the fact that at Harvard you can become drinking buddies with the kids of industry tycoons, federal judges, senators, etc. is exactly what you want. You're not upset that those privileged kids get in automatically, it's actually a perk to you that they do.
