This is a nice little example of a funny American tendency I've observed - if someone from the Wrong Team is associated with something you agree with, the immediate assumption is that there's some way in which this is secretly bad. In this case, u/supportengineer is in fact implying that Bloomberg spent $500m to keep coal plants _open_. A laughable notion to anyone familiar with Bloomberg outside of his 2020 run, but this what happens when your brain perceives the world in Red and Blue.

I don't have any control over China's policies. I do have a tiny bit of control over the US's policies, so that's what I concern myself with. I have no choice but to that trust there will be people like me in their respective regions who will do the same in their countries. As you say, it's a global problem, everyone knows that everyone needs to get on board to fix this. Regardless of what other countries do, the US must do its part to solve the problem, or the problem won't be solved. Losing 50k coal jobs is not sufficient reason to prevent the US from doing its part.

You're absolutely right that it's a super big and super hard problem. But we can't just throw our hands up. Even if you're not on board with helping, I beg you to please not stand in the way (or vote for those who stand in the way) of those of us who care about fixing this problem.

Edit: Oh, failed to address this:

> US coal is not going to make a difference whether it continues or not.

It absolutely will! The US is responsible for about 15% of worldwide carbon emissions[1]. Of that, about 25%[2] is from electricity generation. Of that, about 80% comes from coal and natural gas. 15 * .25 * .80 = about 1.8% of global emissions comes from US coal & natural gas power plants alone. Two percent of global emissions is quite a huge amount! It'd be one nice, big step forward on the long, long (long) road to fixing this problem. You gotta do something, or else you're doing nothing, and coal plants are a great target to aim at.

This is correct. I can independently verify that there are a total of 420 contracts of open interest, and this tweet is fake news.
From a personal perspective, I do share some of your misgivings about the appearance of sympathies with LE / authorities. It doesn't -feel- all that great to see. But at the end of the day to me it boils down to what another commenter said. If it's good enough for them, it is probably good enough for me. Someone has to pay the bills so the show can go on.

If the problem is that we're not trusting $LE_GOV_AGENCY to use the technology because it may hide abuses of authority, the root problem is that we can't trust $LE_GOV_AGENCY for reasons external to their choice of communication tooling. And that's not a problem I think we can solve with technology alone.

Plus, 'We can't allow X/Y/Z to use encrypted chat because they could do awful things' is a bit of a double-edged sword I personally don't feel comfortable wielding lest it be wielded against my own 'high-risk group'.

This is a common predicament.

A piece of information that, if it was made public, would be immensely useful in countless ways for the management of our society, But it might also be exploited by bad people. So it is made private.

And the icing on the cake. We say "it's private because privacy is intrinsically good and a basic human right ". Not, "It's private because we fear bad people".
Moderation is mostly about the worst things users do, and the good things don't outweigh the bad. To make a silly analogy, no number of old ladies helped across the street makes it ok to rob a bank or run somebody over.

You raise a good question though. If there were pleasant feedback for doing good things, maybe it would encourage more good things. Moderation is usually unpleasant feedback that sucks to receive.

I'm convinced that HN could make vastly better use of feedback and it's our long-term intention to move in that direction.

"Classic literature has long been celebrated for its profound impact on readers, offering timeless stories and thought-provoking themes. Beyond its entertainment value, the study of classic literature can also greatly influence one's writing style, particularly when it comes to composing essays. Exploring the works of renowned authors from the past can inspire and shape our approach to crafting compelling and well-structured arguments. If you're looking to enhance your essay writing skills, consider utilizing the resources and guidance available at https://washingtoncitypaper.com/article/604229/college-essay...

One of the key benefits of delving into classic literature is the exposure to a diverse range of writing styles. Each author possesses a unique voice and distinct literary techniques that can be emulated and adapted to suit one's own writing. By analyzing the prose of great literary figures such as Jane Austen, Fyodor Dostoevsky, or William Shakespeare, aspiring writers can gain insights into effective storytelling, character development, and language usage.

Moreover, classic literature often tackles complex themes and societal issues, providing ample material for critical analysis and essay composition. Engaging with these works enables readers to develop their analytical and critical thinking abilities. The examination of moral dilemmas, social structures, and philosophical concepts presented in classic literature can significantly contribute to the depth and quality of one's essays.

While reading classic literature is undoubtedly beneficial, it is equally important to seek additional guidance to refine and polish your writing skills. That's where platforms like can be immensely helpful. Educibly offers a range of writing resources, including expert tips, personalized feedback, and professional editing services, to assist students and writers in honing their essay writing abilities."

So roughly half the cost 12 years later? Meanwhile the last 10 years of PV solar have seen the price drop to about 1/4 of what they were. And concentrated solar was already more expensive than PV solar.

But, I hear you say, what about the cost of storage? Certainly the concentrated solar can get wins by generating steam using the molten sodium for hours after the sun goes down. Over the last 10 years chemical batteries have dropped to about 1/10 of their old price and the trendline still points downwards. Battery production is seriously ramping up as EVs push demand and grid storage becomes a huge issue.

Concentrated Solar is still a day late and a dollar short.

That might be strictly true but the blowback from this is me avoiding Philips products from now on.

They should use their influence with Signify to get them to take a long term view. Right now I regret buying more expensive "Philips" light bulbs, sync boxes and other hardware.

A few years back there was a story where Google Maps would frequently guide people through a steep narrow street which really wasn't intended for this kind of traffic, creating a dangerous situation for both drivers and residents because this road really wasn't designed or intended for heavy thoroughfare.

Residents complained to Google. Google them to go pound sand and that there isn't anything they can do.

Quite frankly I'm having a hard time explaining the difference between "knowingly putting people in a dangerous situation" and "accidentally putting people in a dangerous situation and then refusing to fix it". I guess it's easy to enough to ignore these kind of externalities if they're not happening at your front door every day... I can forgive the routing mistake, which is an understandable one to make. What I can't forgive is the "well, not our problem". If you're going to make a GPS guidance app then you also need to take responsibility for what it tells people. Mistakes are okay. Pretending mistakes have nothing to do with you is not.

All of that said, I find it hard to really judge this situation based on the provided information; the key question is "could Google reasonably have done better?" However, in the past Google Maps has definitely demonstrated that it doesn't take these concerns very serious and it's 100% worth a serious investigation in both this specific siltation but also whether Google Maps in general takes enough reasonable precautions to prevent this kind of thing.
Yup, exactly. I last worked in this field in 2009, and BOM cost (tempered with component availability) was king. This was also a time when hardware was much less capable, so they usually ran something like vxWorks (or, ::shudder::, uClinux). Building the cheapest product that could get to market fastest (so as to beat competitors to the latest WiFi draft standard) was all that mattered.

Your Raspberry Pi example is IMO even more illustrative than you let on. I'll reiterate that even that platform is not open and doesn't have a full set of mainlined drivers, after a decade of incredibly active development, by a team that is much more dedicated to openness than most other device manufacturers. Granted, they picked a base (ugh, Broadcom) that is among the worst when it comes to documentation and open source, but I think that also proves a point: device manufacturers don't have a ton of choice, and need to strike a balance between openness and practical considerations. The Raspberry Pi folks had price and capability targets to go with their openness needs, and they couldn't always get everything they wanted.

I sat in on the all Cisco acquisitions teams from c. 1994 - 1999. Even during that heyday there were awesome acquisitions that took off and others that went nowhere. Cisco was historically always better at hardware acquisitions than pure-play software. It would often kill the software products entirely — Internet Junction, TGV, Precept come to mind.

The one other rule that John Chambers lived by was "no merger of equals." It was always about a big fish swallowing a smaller one. Cisco's market cap is an order of magnitude greater than Splunk's, but this is as close to breaking that Chambers Rule of Acquisitions as anything they've done to date.

Here's the full history of Cisco acquisitions. Maybe someone with more M&A lore would scorecard it to see which were dreams and which were duds.

Architecture school is all about the fanciful. Whether or not the proposals will work in real life are secondary to the creative process that gets you to them (aside from purposeful courses like Structures or Materials). That something like this was proposed for an architecture final crit doesn't surprise me. The real accomplishment here is this student getting his way into a New Yorker featured article.

Every once in a while, you'll hear something in a final crit like, "Uh, do you realize all your structural loads are coming down on to that one point?" Always good for a chuckle when someone brings up the practical failings of a design.
A bit of context:

Apple devices had a hard limit on the number of cards that could be stored on the secure element, depending on hardware version. Originally it was a limit of 8 cards, while the latest devices could manage up to 16. Attempts to provision more than that number would fail until a user removed one of the existing cards.

iOS 17 seems to have removed the hard cap in favor of a more dynamic limit, based on actual space used. Depending on the mix of applets in use, it looks like the new functional limit is substantially higher than it was previously.

> Half a billion isn't enough to build one plant

Georgia Power builds utility-scale solar plants smaller than that[1]. 139 MW in the $200m price range (in 2017) certainly counts.

Add to that in order to build a $200m plant does not require $200m of liquid cash any more than buying a $500k house requires $500k of liquid cash.

$500m can put a significant amount of utility-scale solar online (although this effort does not appear to be geared to directly instantiate new power generation).

Microsoft doesn't provide any guarantee of fitness for use, and you blame that on software engineers being uncertified? Blame it on Microsoft!

(Now, there might be an argument you could make that, if software engineers had actual certifications, they would have the leverage to push back against Microsoft management and say "no, we're not going to ship that". But I'm pretty sure that wouldn't work, at least not at this stage of the game. Microsoft would just find coders in India or the Philippines or somewhere to implement it where there are no such professional regulations. No, when a company the size of Microsoft does something like that, the problem is not with the individual contributors.)
