Not quite. Right now, (most) California residential electric bills are entirely volumetric, meaning that you pay for what you use — if you use zero, you pay (close to) zero. Under the new system, everyone’s bill will instead have a sizable fixed component (determined by household income) for being connected to the grid, and a volumetric component (determined by the amount that you use). The new price per kilowatt hour will be smaller than the existing rates.

The bill says a lot of things, it started out bad and has been amended and amended many times over years.

I think the relevant points are putting things like requirements for age verification for anything possibly considered ‘harmful’ (like adult images) by way of, for example, requiring uploading an image of your Government issued ID or by using a face scan AI recognition system.

The main other contentious one is the power for Ofcom to direct companies offering encrypted messaging services to break the security model of end-to-end encryption to allow content scanning and surveillance. Most big platforms (e.g. Apple, Meta/WhatsApp, Signal) said they would withdraw messaging services from the UK rather than breaking E2EE. The Government recently kinda said they might not use that power but then have been quite keen to try and say they’re not backing down so who knows what that means…

The shift is more that that the military leaders think that the battle environment is changing again and this is to preempt that shift.

Part of it is the perceived expectation of going against infantry with better body armor, and part of it is improved electronics. The M7 has a fire control computer built into the optic which should allow for easier engagements at extended range.
energy production is orthogonal to CO2 production, neither requires the other to happen

so, imagine you want to absorb a ton of CO2 from the air to prevent the planet from further spiraling into uninhabitability: you could electrically bake the rock with renewable energy, then use it to absorb CO2
To test my programming language. It's a freestanding lisp interpreter that doesn't link to libc. I wrote the code that handles the environment variables and in order to test it I needed full control over the program's inputs including its environment. The env utility provides this control by emptying the environment and setting only the variables I specify, solving 90% of the problem. Only thing I still can't control is argv[0]. With this new feature upstreamed, my test suite will be complete.

Here's the code if you wish to take a look:

Last time I visited Toronto I was shocked by the amount of not just homeless people but loud and disruptive or mentally ill homeless people. I remember hearing a blood curdling scream coming from a crowd. I ran over to look, it was just this homeless man screaming at the top of his lungs as people walked past him.

My friend told me it didn't used to be this bad (we've known each other for years and he used to complain about how many homeless people there were in American cities when he visited me), but the population, at least from his perspective, seems to have surged in recent years. At the time he blamed COVID, which I am sure had an effect, but I had no idea how bad affordable housing had gotten in that country (although maybe I should have noticed since he always gripes about making STEM money and not being able to afford to live alone in Toronto).

I remember something he said once that has really stuck with me. Last time I visited he told me the homeless used to be the fringes of society that fells through the social safety net. But now in Toronto they seem to be a class all their own.

There's no human right to do so simply because societies and governments have deemed it such. There's not really any decent reason it "shouldn't" be a right for well meaning people.

To be clear, I do agree that going somewhere else may grant you benefits you wouldn't have had in where you originally are from and that's due to taxes and other systems in place. But plenty of well meaning people who are skilled and willing to contribute to other societies are not allowed to do so just because they were born somewhere less fortunate or with certain stigmas attached.

Its a complex problem of course, free movement does let some bad apples in that can cause a lot of harm. But it can go too far in my opinion.
Not a Lego expert but from a material science perspective your worst culprit is always going to be UV, or sun exposure. It’ll change colors, make plastics brittle, and even introduce some warping. Then come heat and oxygen. Obviously some materials are more susceptible to chemical damage than others; ABS is very prone to breaking down even from exposure to weak solvents while PET is ridiculously solvent-resistant.

Storing old bricks with new shouldn’t really matter. ABS off gases but mainly when heated. Most damage to ABS is irreversible. It’s not a great long-term material and it has many shortcomings.

This is patently false. Borders and border control are as ancient as human societies themselves and were not invented by those you deem "colonialists", which for you I bet doesn't include the Arabs and Persians themselves colonizing Europe...

Yes, i am aware that some of what the government funds may be considered useful for increasing productivity through technological advancement. I wasn't commenting on that subset of the gargantuan spending machine that is our government. I was commenting on the clear waste of money funding the modern equivalent of bread and circuses that is this portion of the spending.
So one guy is having technical difficulties and tweeted about it, and binance says things are working fine on their end…

I’m not saying this isn’t a liquidity issue, but is an angry customer support tweet really evidence of that?

Again a massive no true Scotsman stretch. GP asked if we could make FAANG money as a contractor and you claim four fold... If you have the network, money and sub-hire a bunch of people. Ok sure but then it's not a like for like comparison.

Most ppl in contracting are just interested in FTE work, with a better rate, tax framework, less office politics, etc. Very few want to go full Cognizant.

>I reserve the right to draw my own conclusions in my own time and do not feel compelled to cave to social pressure to spout the "party line".

What a bizarre statement to make after a seemingly reasonable series of exchanges. If you're out of arguments but don't want to change your mind, just admit so. Invoking some sort of persecution complex to justify it is just baffling. Nobody is demanding that you immediately change your mind or publicly recant your beliefs.
I’m European, Dutchman specifically, and I find it mentally difficult, almost impossible sometimes, to not converse in English with a person I know does speak English. I used to work at a Dutch company with ~35 nationalities and me and my Dutch colleagues where often reminded by our non Dutch coworkers that they prefer us to continue water cooler conversation in Dutch and not switched to English when they joined in. For them this was a great way to learn more Dutch. Right now there is also a parent at my kids school who is Welsh, and even though he understands Dutch very well and prefers to speak it, everytime I approach him for a conversation the first sentence in my head is formed in English. I have to consciously switch to Dutch before starting the conversation. I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s some genetic heritage from when our country was a big international trading nation?
The difference being that those exchanges are regulated.
This is almost exactly my experience with Docker Compose, which is lionized by commenters in nearly every Kubernetes thread I read on HN. It's great and super simple and easy ... until you want to wire multiple applications together, you want to preserve state across workload lifecycles for stateful applications, and/or you need to stand up multiple configurations of the same application. The more you want to run applications that are part of a distributed system, the uglier your compose files get. Indeed, the original elegant Docker Compose syntax just couldn't do a bunch of things and had to be extended.

IMO a sufficiently advanced Docker Compose stack is not appreciably simpler than the Kubernetes manifests would be, and you don't get the benefits of Kubernetes' objects and their controllers because Docker Compose is basically just stringing low-level concepts together with light automation.
I'm glad you don't like California. You're comment has nothing to do with the article or my comment. Please refrain from comments like this on HN.

Clearly the prompt construction and initial instructions are critically important here. Without that, the ReMM-SLERP-L2-13B model produces awful results. Blank answers about half the time. For lay users, ChatGPT remains the undisputed winner. Although I do see reasonably good results with the more recent llama-2 70B variations, which are plausibly useful a majority of the time.
> Are dashcams illegal too? If not, how is it different?

A state court in Landgericht ruled that everyone who is participating in traffic is aware of being seen and recorded [1], so apparently it's different from being near a parked Tesla in public in which you might be recorded without your knowledge.

There have been similar decisions by other courts, apparently.

However, the law is probably a bit tricky, in that it might be legal to use the recorded video as evidence in court (or perhaps insurance purposes?), but probably not for other purposes such as posting it on Youtube.

Last time I checked, in Spain (and probably other EU countries) similar reasoning applied for recording videos in public places, e.g. while you're walking on the street: I think you can record other people in public without their consent as part of your interactions with them, as long as you safeguard the recorded video and not publish it (and probably only for as long as it might be needed). You could use these recordings as evidence in court, but probably not for almost any other purpose.

You might, however, be prone to being punched in the face, as many people find that to be quite aggressive behavior. Police may even arrest you and confiscate your equipment as they're not all necessarily aware of all the intricacies of data protection laws.

DJI used to have the "Mimo" app in the play store. It was rated very low, 2.3 stars. The app required users to allow the permission to read the phone's IMEI. If you denied that permission, the app closed. Myself, and I'm sure plenty of others, have reported this to the play store as something against the play store policies. Perhaps Google gave in to the complaints eventually and told DJI, enough is enough with your crap, who knows... And that made DJI say, "enough is enough with _you_, we're big enough to distribute these outside the play store and keep our invasive tracking and permissions".

In the US, if the CPAP is being paid for by insurance, the cellular modem is used to track "compliance" -- i.e. are you using the thing enough for them to justify paying for it. But if not, the CPAPs I've seen have an "airplane" mode where the cellular modem can be turned off, and you can google for guides to physically disconnect the modem internally.

This is a valid argument when it comes to things like recommendations but there are some simple functions of platforms that in no way constitute the platforms speech:

- When two people privately chat with each other, this is not the chat platforms speech, anymore then a phone call is the phone company's speech, it is something that should fall under common carrier laws, just like phone companies.

- When someone explicitly decides to follow someone else and that person posts something, then relaying that post is not the platforms speech, anymore then delivering a magazine to a subscriber is the postal services speech.
Canada is committed to absurd levels of immigration relative to population. The crucial difference between population growth by birth versus by immigration is that you get ~20 years for housing supply to catch up to every new person. With growth by immigration, every new person needs housing _today_. The Canadian government isn’t creating housing at anywhere near the same rate as immigration. It’s really not complicated to understand what’s happening.
The Future of Laundry Has Finally Arrived
Sorry, but its quite difficult for me to understand the assertion that a failure to agree upon borders is a breakdown of a shared "reality" as anything but an assertion that certain perceptions should be elevated to the level of natural laws.

I don't dispute the utility of shared social conventions and rules. They are very handy, no doubt. But they aren't reality, and, in my experience, the people most vociferously asserting that they are are the jerks.

If two nation states _agree_ on a border because it simplifies administration, then bravo. If two nation states disagree about a border then the problem isn't that one has lost touch with reality. The problem is just a dispute about power and suggesting its a problem with perception of reality is propaganda. At a fundamental level borders aren't real. If there is a conflict over them, the only recourse is to the human beings involved, hopefully through diplomacy, but unfortunately often through violence, but never via an objective process which reveals by experimental or theoretical action an objective truth.

Confusion between that which is real and that which is not is the deepest, most destructive of intellectual maladies.

I suspect the complexity with this approach, is these "investors" are also the source of the majority of rental inventory in the country. As far as I know we don't build rental buildings anymore, it's all condos with 30-80% of the units going to investors who then rent them out.

Also there are situations like, the buyer who buys a run down house to rebuild or do major renovations that would need accounting for in any sort of ban. Or the condo developer who spends millions buying 3-10 houses and turning them into a condo tower for hundreds of people to live in.
Just a note: STEM money in Canada is significantly less than STEM money in the US, especially factoring in exchange rates.
> ‘So this includes all landlords too? If I buy a second house, do it up, and rent it, I am an “investor”?’

Of course. The second house is purely an investment to you.

I don’t imagine anybody particularly loves being a landlord. It’s sometimes messy compared to owning a stock. If you could get a better return with less risk from some other investment, you’d put your money in that instead. But residential real estate in cities happens to have an appealing risk/return profile that’s not directly correlated with stocks, so there are good reasons why both small and large investors buy housing.
