as an American its tempting to see this as legislation passed in the service of a progressive advancement of scientific need. This is more of a last-ditch effort to keep up with the joneses for the sake of natinal security, and so it was a pretty easy bill to pass.

Of the top 3 battery or solar producing countries, the US isnt one of them. Longi, Chinas flagship battery company, has been doing this for 23 years while the US is just now getting around to starting a domestic plant to compete. Frankly i dont imagine it will be competitive at all, as it would also be competing with other decades old players in Japan and Korea.

15 years ago it would have made sense to buy up one of these competitive players but that time has passed, and the cannibalistic nature of outsourcing in neoliberal capitalism means a domestic industry is seen as a liability, not a strength. heck, owning any means of production instead of a brand is as well so its no surprise Ford's just kicking this one over to China to solve.

tl;dr the climate bill is about national security, not climate.

edit: not sure why im getting downvoted but honestly this is the 2023 equivalent of the space race. the US is #2 in renewable energy generation behind a communist nation set to overtake it in the next decade on practically all fronts. Batteries and solar are the capital of the renewable economy and the US has basically ignored or avoided it for two decades at their peril.
> In the long-term, my best guess is that the current Republican platform will collapse within 10-20 years as the current leadership ages out, and there will be a phase change where the Republican platform recrystallizes around a more modern set of conservative values that appeals more to younger voters.

Trumpism is the modern set of conservative values that appeals more to younger voters. Trump was the one that killed GOP efforts to privatize social security and cut Medicare, and he’s been critical of the party’s more extreme positions on abortion.

We just had an election where the GOP won 3 million more votes than Democrats. Trump and Biden are tied in national polling: https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4155482-biden-trump-vi...

Meanwhile, Democrats have managed to fend off Trump only through a coalition that includes AOC, most of Silicon Valley and Wall Street, and Liz Cheney. How long do you think that’s sustainable? Democrats have been forced into a neoliberal corner where they can’t actually do anything liberal (raising taxes, criminal justice reform, welfare expansion).

Probably the last 100 or so years where we have largely done exactly that.
Honestly, would you? The pure background someone needs to have to not fall subject to media outings is hard to achieve. Any folks with something to hide become instant blackmail targets of both the public and private sector.

One almost needs to destroy their life to get the job, and even then the chances seem to be so low that you'd more likely end up with a destroyed life and not a political office.
problem is nobody blowin the whistle on that and it'd involve a lot of hands. Might be more like occupy made companies aware of an untapped market and they saturated it with virtue signaling trying to get that youth money instead. maybe bit of both. I just know I ain't heard anyone saying they got proof for the conspiracy part and the "companies virtue signaling" thing is a time honored tradition

I really don't think it's some horrendous oversight to expect that people will be kind to a service that you offer.

If you offer anonymous and free image uploading it's not wrong to assume that not 100% of your traffic will be pornographic uploads and I also don't think it's wrong that if after years of your offering, if you get to the point where all of your uploads are porn, that you feel the need to shutdown your service.

Nobody is entitled to do bad things with good tools.

i don't think there are major implications: the web development world is still very react/javascript/JSON-centric

there is no reason that they can't tweak their services to be more hypermedia friendly if and when this approach becomes more popular

netlify (which offers free hosting for https://htmx.org, so is a sponsor of the project) is very HTML/hypermedia friendly as far as I can tell, and I don't have enough experience w/ vercel to say much other than a vague sense that they are extremely react-oriented

no reason that can't change as the market changes though: hypermedia pushes the main value locus of applications back on the server side and so server-side companies should like that
good points. I can agree to that. However, I do think something did break down and I think your assessment below is more accurate than my initial take.

Me too. I studied climatology and a bit of environmental policy at university, so it seems unlikely… but I’ve seen weirder feedbacks. It’s plausible.

I’ve spent a lot of time trying to understand why people deny climate change, but it usually comes down to a few basic things: 1. Group membership. 2. Seeing is believing, and not having been impacted yet. 3. Having been impacted, but unwilling to admit it due to embarrassment/sunk cost fallacy. Honestly I expect that after this summer most people in cohort 2 will move to cohort 3.

As a Californian anarcho communist lefty I really respect Kemp and would like to see more of his ilk in the Republican Party!
I have read Siddhartha quite a few times in my life (every 4-5 years). Every time I align with a different character, or with Siddhartha in the various phases.

Timing is (almost) everything in life. I read 3-4 years ago "Though shall prosper" and "Half-time" and I could not have picked a better timing for both. I couldn't imagine appreciating either 20 years ago, and it would be "too late" reading them at my 70s.

So yes, timing matters.

But there is also 1984, which everytime I read it just hits the (same almost) spot!
If you want to learn something cool and related, checkout Autoencoders (or VAEs). They effectively compress information by forming representations of some data.
Best as we can tell, it wasn’t a hoax. It was a poorly understood experiment (and perhaps premature arxiv preprint). It’s very similar to the “faster than speed of light” puzzle from a few years back. It doesn’t harm scientific integrity. It reveals that science is by nature an exploratory process where what we know today is subject to change in light of new data and theory.

As a PhD physics scientist with a familiarity with this area, I’m glad this got the attention it did and showed science working “as it should”.
Plus returns done this way are a replacement for the fitting room, which cost the retailer money to own or rent, build out and maintain, staff and keep climate controlled etc whether you shopped there or not.

I also haven't heard of it, but I'm curious of the "when acquiring it" part of the quote.

Did the current owner not create the site? Did they acquire an anonymous file sharing site and are now shutting it down for the predictable anonymous file sharing issues?

Perhaps it's an English translation issue or something, but, in common parlance, the word "acquire" means to buy or obtain from elsewhere. (I don't think they are referring to the domain name itself, because that has nothing to do with the complaints listed.)
20 years ago I launched a site that allowed users to upload arbitrary files. It was 99% pirated software/music, viruses and pornography. This is nothing new.

> When Debian's APT network package manager happened, that was pretty new and unusual. Imagine hearing about a package, typing a shell command, and Debian probably had the package, and it was installing.

I think a lot of people who came to Linux later don't fully realise how revolutionary apt was back then.

I can still remember the pain of manually downloading rpms only to find it needed another one installed first or wasn't version compatible with something else etc.
I didn't lump them together. My last sentence calls out non-UV (like RF) separately. I merely used UV as an example of non-ionizing radiation, which contrary to a suggested "binary rule" for ionizing/non-ionizing radiation, can actually damage DNA.

The issue is there really is no other choice than negotiating, even if it is poorly suited for the hyper-partisan world of today. The alternative is everything is filibustered and Manchin refuses to override that, meaning nothing passes and the republican strategy of just shutting everything down works.
no problem, i try not to take things personally online: i've said plenty of things that either were mean or came across as mean in my life, especially when I was younger

i think one of the strengths of htmx is that it isn't really trying to change the paradigm to something brand new, it is instead going back to the original web paradigm of hypermedia and asking how HTML could have advanced within that paradigm, in contrast with the SPA paradigm that replaced it

Right, they might as well ask you to submit to a phrenology exam. All people seem to care about is they "AI" results are uncorrelated with race and gender and whatnot. They could otherside be complet bullshit, but as long as it's equal bullshit nobody seems concerned about using physiognomy to determine if you hire someone. Maybe it's just by broad forehead talking .
Ubicloud – open, free and portable cloud
Indeed. They are extremely cool! <3 :) I think in a way, every neural network works on compression! Though AEs & VAEs are a bit more blatant in how they do it. It's just always turned around a little, here and there. I have a pet theory that no neural network can work without compression (even generative ones that have constantly increasing layer depths! :D :)))) )
Yeah, I think the general trend is that all those devices either assume you have an app or only talk to the vendor's cloud service anyway.

It's working, it just ensures that absolutely everything needs internet access.
No, that's not the point I was making (you seem to be saying "Unless you're as altruistic as Jesus, why bother?")

What I was saying is that if you do really care about something (say, the environment), it doesn't mean that you just go live in a cave in the middle of the woods, but that you should focus your efforts on reducing your environmental impact in ways that actually work (and, more importantly, industry and governmental leaders should focus efforts on things that have the biggest impact). That is, if you care about the environment, but you're someone that also orders a ton of product with the intention to return most of them, it's probably a lot easier, and will have a lot bigger impact, if you just stop that behavior, than if you, say, get rid of your car and only force yourself to walk and bike everywhere.
Well, I'm building websites and apps.

And, as I'm sure you know, milliseconds are important in our craft. You can easily shave or add hundreds of milliseconds with HTML or CSS.

And to be honest, I find your general line of inquiry here to be quite agressive and dismissive. I think, respectfully, a little more good faith could further our understanding of each other.
Just dropping this here since it looks like a lot of people haven't heard of it.

Ask HN: Can I send a sample PCB to the US without FCC certification?
Basically what the title says. I need to send a nfc reader from Canada to the US for testing (not for sale). I just want to make sure I won’t get in trouble with the FCC. I’m in the early stages of doing the certification and just don’t want to jeopardize that process.
On the 100th anniversary of the first flight, the NYT published a great article explaining how narrow the success of the Wright brothers happened to be. There were others who flew first in so many slightly less amazing ways.

> During President Obama's 2012 reelection campaign, he told voters that manufacturing jobs would be a crucial part of the American economy's resurgence. His administration set a goal to “create 1 million new manufacturing jobs by the end of 2016.”

Why pretend that Trump was the first person to talk about creating manufacturing jobs when it has been a hot political topic since the first time jobs started disappearing in the US?

How do the likes of weTransfer deal with this problem? or any other of the free file sharing sites?
This is prima facie plausible. The best way I know to get some empirical pricing on this would be DOOM option chains all the way back to 87 and the “volatility smile”.

If true, it’s an accelerant on all the worst things about the modern economy: value accrues not to sound fundamentals but those already well-enough capitalized to bet the tail in a diversified way, which is of course not an option for the working person.

Do you really think we have figured it all out and all the current research is pointless? Or did you just want to post that Wikipedia article?
I'm sure there's some technical reason why I'm not allowed in court to call these "taxes"

I understand that your conservative ideology prevents you from understanding that governments can impose charges on businesses that are not taxes. But on that note, welcome to the world of capitalism. Governments are market participants too now. And as previously stated, these franchise fees are charged to ISPs in exchange for them getting the right to utilize public rights of way. It's not a tax because it's a business transaction: money in exchange for access. ISPs are free not to pay these franchise fee, and in exchange for not paying the free jurisdictions are free to deny them access to the public rights of way.

Each dollar in that line item literally offsets a dollar of property tax levy

This is false. In 99.99999% of American municipal budgets, property tax levies are separate from fees levied on businesses. They are independent pools of revenue that don't offset each other. Perhaps you live in the rare business-hostile jurisdiction where business fees offset property tax revenue? (On the tax front, red states are actually phenomenally hostile to businesses; what they don't charge in income taxes they more than make up for through a variety of other taxes and fees on businesses. My employer, for example, pays almost as much to Alabama for "other business taxes" as we do to California or NY, where we have several times the revenue and actual physical nexus, for income and business taxes collectively.)

you'll see a line item for the revenue collected from these fees,

Yes, of course fees are characterized as revenue. It's basic accounting. What else would they be characterized as? Funny Money?

Here's a newsflash: the service fees on your internet bill are also revenue to Comcast, both the pass-thru fees and the additional made-up service fees that Comcast adds to pad the bills. And again, those made-up fees are the reason that Comcast and AT&T are opposing this mandate, because it would reveal that the "service fee" charge on your ISP bill is mostly a made-up service fee imposed by your ISP and not imposed by your local government.

I don't have to care about this distinction

People who proudly proclaim their ignorance are the ones least suited for being involved in local government, especially when those distinctions are fundamental to an issue they're arguing about.
Oh, he talked about it, a lot, but the only effort I ever noticed was, as you say, tariffs. Tariffs seems punitive, and when there's no other option to purchase, you import and pay the tariff anyway.

The Biden push for requiring federal purchases to have more 'made in USA' components seems a combination of stupidly simple, long overdue, and easy to understand. Govt requiring more stuff made in the US - and giving some tax cuts to help spur it - seems like it's a basic way to ignite manufacturing stateside.
I’m also reading it as "the same exact GPU [LLM] and program versions must be used for compression and decompression".

These communities are usually led by the most technically proficient members, who show off by taking ownership of competing servers, or even by sharing screenshots featuring information they’ve stolen from unsuspecting victims. They’re also actively seeking out other members based on their programming skills or potential to contribute to their campaigns.

"As an unintended consequence of these activities, the resilient open-source registries we rely on are facing an overburden of resources. Last month alone our security researchers confirmed as malicious a whooping 6,933 packages uploaded to the npm and PyPI registries.

We recently tracked the campaign of a Spanish-speaking group called EsqueleSquad which has uploaded more than 5,000 packages to PyPI. "

Fantastic summary and for those reading it who want a little additional social confirmation , I feel this summary is accurate.

The part about Linus appearance in the ‘what do we do now?’ video is on point too.

I would add that the general tone of the video is appropriate, but as LTT is wont to do, they contaminate their sincerity with repeated product placement, ‘in jokes’ and humour. The very root of this ‘drama’ appears to be LTT’s lack of understanding of their serious and influential position in the space they occupy. This video serves or additional evidence of that lack of understanding, but at least a desire to improve.
Silkroad created the categories on its site. Anonfiles at least has a degree of plausible deniability.
The name is too cute, and actively misleads. You can't call this a "minimum" anything; it's an opinionated list of controls that several of the most savvy security teams I know don't uniformly implement.

Just off the top of my head, things that aren't even universally seen by practitioners as good things, let alone things everyone does as a "minimal" baseline:

* On request, enable your customers or their delegates to test the security of your application

* Implement role-specific security training for your personnel that is relevant to their business function

* Comply with all industry security standards relevant to your business such as PCI DSS, HITRUST, ISO27001, and SSAE 18 --- LOL to this whole line item.

* Maintain an up-to-date diagram indicating how sensitive data reaches your systems and where it ends up being stored

There is then a longer list of controls that I think most practitioners would say are good things, but that aren't always P1-prioritized (for good reason, to make way for more important things). CSP headers, SLSA level 1 builds, media sanitization policies; these things are situationally important.

I think an opinionated checklist is a fine thing, but when you call something the "minimal viable" standard, you set yourself up to explain how lots of well-run companies are viable without these things.
History has had many groundbreaking discoveries. It seems foolish to assume that is over. There will be more ground breaking discoveries, and there will be more iterative discoveries. People are so interested in room temp superconductors and stable fusion, because they CAN exist, and likely will exist.

'High' temperature super conductors were only recently discovered, and only a couple of years ago lanthanum decahydride was shown to transition at -10F. It seems odd to me to assume that this hurdle isn't going to be overcome, and even stranger to disparage others for thinking so.
