A hammer is a poor example of the means of production now that they're so easy to come by. The chokepoint is elsewhere.

A more relevant example would be influence over the information that people consult when they're deciding which carpenter to hire. You need both a hammer and a place to swing it that gets you paid--and nobody is trying to restrict access to hammers to protect their position.

This is why many of our most valuable companies are ad companies--you operate at a disadvantage unless you give them a cut of your profits.
Google leveraged their search monopoly to push “switch to Chrome” messages, mainly.
We're trying to make the transition from v1 to v3 easier by brining the write and query APIs from that version forward. We wanted to do the same for Flux, but found it was too difficult in the near term. We might be able to do something in the future, but for now we're focused on making core improvements to the v3 engine.

We'll have data migration tools for v1 and v2 into v3 later this year/early next.
Yes now, but I have assume to were talking about improvements and the future of "walking, biking and public transportation" since adunw started this thread with that sentiment.
I doubt an ID3 weighs only half a ton. Probably at least three times that?
Do you have any sources I can read about this?
> Surely brake dust must be negligible compared to tire and asphalt dust?

Brake dust is kinda different problem. Yeah it puts particles in the air, but most of it is pretty biodegradable (carbon and iron), and rest of it could probably be made that - technically loss of efficiency here could be compensated for, which is far harder for tyres.
>why aren’t you in the ground already?

That's the dumbest statement i've ever seen, why are you equating 1 person to 8 billion people?

Influencers Ruin Beauty Spot Photographers Have Used for Decades
A global database of which DKIM keys were served by which mail domains on which day would not be hard for anyone to create and would make it possible to cryptographically validate the sending host after the fact, even for hosts that rotated and published old DKIM key pairs, surely? This technique to make old emails repudiable doesn't seem very robust.
Is there a comparison of the new InfluxDB against https://clickhouse.com?

I ask because ClickHouse is quite hot at the moment from my experience in consulting and that seems to be reflected in Google Trends [1].

And there are some startups relying on ClickHouse for their log/monitoring products like https://signoz.io and https://hyperdx.io.

> This problem is far worse with a concentrated system than a decentralized one.

They can break in different ways. If you're in an out-group or unpopular, it's not clear whether you're better off with n local pubs making a decision to accept your money informally or n/2 national banks making a decision while subject to oversight.

In any case, this is a false premise: it's not like you're choosing from 5 local pubs. The question is whether the pub you attend likes you enough to take your check.

> What you need for this is something permissionless.

Far better to have things work okay without any other entity being involved, sure. But there are reasons why banks exist.
It's not dumb to suggest the existence of humans might be unsustainable for the entire planet at this point, and it might be a net good if we don't take everything with us. I don't agree with it, but it's not dumb.

Where do we even fix the issue in the U.S. right now? Solar is still out of reach for a lot of people and states refuse to subsidize it. Everything is built so far apart that we need cars. We can't correct our farming practices without starving the country. It's not even nihilism, it's just that we don't have any realistic options right now.
I follow the news closely as I'm in the area, nothing's going to happen aside from the usual posturing, Serbia's in no rush to be once again on the sharp end of NATO's pointy stick.

It's not impossible, much of the world operates without 99.9% car usage like the USA.

Every major European city metro area can be traversed without a car. Hell I went through 18 countries and 35+ cities in Europe without renting a car and only using a bus or plane maybe 4-5 times.

This is an entirely self-made problem. A world not reliant on cars is not la-la land. It's a land where a car isn't treated as more important than a human, which should be the norm and is known to work in many other first world countries.
Fascinating fact about dandelions! A nice Fraunhofer video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvVJL2GYRHY
I think your final point is key. Apart from curb weight, the reason to emphasize EVs might be just to remind people that they're not a panacea for the environmental collapse we're speeding towards. Instead of inventivizing car-free and car-light living, policymakers would rather not distrupt anything, simply swapping EVs for ICE vehicles in the same miserable sprawl. Yale's findings underline that this can't happen.
In addition to actual advantages others have mentioned, google paid to bundle Chrome with things like Java upgrades (IIRC) and SourceForge downloads. I suspect this had as much impact on moving the needed for "normies" as any actual benefits.
No one suggested you kill yourself. Just that we build more trains you can take.
Of course people swim in the Amazon. I did it myself and you can find plenty of videos of people swimming in it and enjoying the river.

Lots of ground between settled science and “no good reason is ever given.”

There are strong arguments for dark matter (broadly, not just Lambda CDM). They are inconclusive. The bullet cluster is less strong evidence for dark matter than good evidence against common armchair refutations. (I agree with your author that it doesn’t rule out MOND as is commonly claimed.)
At this point, is there any public camera that is not feeding footage back to the government?
But most of it does biodegrade so it is short time problem vs very long time problem.

I think this is a perfect example of why "We don't have Senior Engineers anymore".

It's hard to show the thinking process to others, so the person who says an answer faster is assumed to be better/more senior.

That number might make sense if you include injuries significant enough to (at least temporarily) remove that person from the theater of war. Soldiers in hospital or discharged because of injuries are very nearly equivalent to dead soldiers when it comes to removing enough people in play who can pull a trigger pointed at your soldiers.

Some world-class puns there.
I was in the market for a small electric city car and found out that we're not allowed to have small cars in the US. Europe and Asia have really nice small city cars under 2,000lbs but none of them are available here. I believe the smallest car sold in the US is the Mini Cooper around 3,000lbs. I actually ended up with a souped up street legal golf cart and it's worked out well for my purposes of picking up kids and groceries within a 5 mile radius, though I'm in the Bay Area where the weather is not too extreme most of the year. I'm not sure why this market is neglected.
> As a society we need to change, but that’s been really hard as we’ve seen.

I hate saying it, but I don’t believe there’ll be societal changes until it’s far too late. I’m disabled (need a cane to walk), and people will happily make my life harder if the alternative is a mild inconvenience for them. Even basics like help holding doors open isn’t reliable. I can’t fathom larger societal changes happening in any form if it means people have to give up on their own convenience.

Maybe I’m just too much of a doomer here, dunno, but it just doesn’t feel likely.
> So if her pay seems like a lot, it's probably because the tech sector overall is paid too much in your opinion.

It'd be fun to participate in an effort to purchase cheap drone FCs en masse to ship to Ukraine. I'd love to help violate China's export restrictions.

Really, it's the FCs and ESCs that are probably going to be the hardest to source, I figure?
This is such an odd conclusion.

Every animal, including the boiled dolphins, could benefit by having more offspring and adapting instead of some mass suicidal extinction event.

What if I disagree with this conclusion while those with like minds of yours have power over me? I would be then easily sympathetic to eliminating your kind in order to save the human species from extinction. Do you realize if you or others of this mindset have enough power, you would become the villain of sci-fi stories?
They may be German, it's the literal translation of how one would say it in Germany, and we're still having a heatwave - the Oktoberfest vendors are happy AF, but it's far from normal.

Alcohol and low pH might significantly slow down the risk of bacteria spreading. Which is relevant if you want to store.

Obviously it's not really that relevant if were talking about making the water safe to drink in the first place because boiling is much more effective.

And again the claim that medieval people drank beer all the time because all the water they had access to is dirty is a myth..

Ensuring access to clean water was something medieval people took very seriously with very severe punishments for those who polluted or tried poisoning sources of drinkable water.
My overall point is that the "last mile" we're just screwed unless we fundamentally redesign our neighborhoods and shape of our cities.

Its pretty damn obvious that as the USA is laid out right now, we don't have any good last-mile solutions outside of 100x different people driving to the same store and picking up what they want. And its not like houses are going to pick themselves up and move to a store, and given zoning laws no one is going to move a store into a neighborhood either. (People won't like the crime that comes with it).

So whatever, that's that. I don't see this issue changing. But I do think that the truck/rail situation can change. Fewer people are in the decision-making process for train vs truck, and factories can be designed (and/or redesigned) to fit trains.

I'd assume that its easier to convince one or two factory owners to switch from truck-based to train-based logistics... rather than convincing 100x homehowners to vote at the next HOA meeting to start a city-campaign legal change to change the local zoning laws and possibly lower everyone's housing values by increasing crime in the neighborhood during this rise in shoplifting going on right now...
There are a lot of Grothendieck's writings at http://grothendieckcircle.org/ . If you have stuff that they don't, maybe you could share with them?

I didn't realize that there was so much stuff unavailable til now. I remember reading that he burned a 55 gallon drum full of papers to the dismay of some of his admirers. I figured anything he wrote by now was either online or destroyed.

I suspect this more recently revealed stuff can't be published for various reasons, such as crazy personal attacks on other mathematicians. Some of the older stuff had some of that.

Récoltes et Semmailes (Reapings and Sowings, a big semi-autobiographical rant) is online in French and partially translated to English. It might give you an idea of what you are getting into. At the time I tried to read parts of it, machine translation wasn't as good as it is now. So maybe I can try again with DeepL or something.
Seems to apply to political systems.

For example, prefer bottom-up English Common Law and democracy, to top-down Napoleonic Codes and centrally-planned eutopian nightmares.

It also suggests that dictatorships cannot be reformed, but must have a revolution, or other reset, to get back to basic civic society plus checks and balances (system feedback).
I always thought radio was less damaging overall. I had been a caregiver for a family member with cancer and I recall radiation was causing burns, nausea, fatigue - but chemo was 100x all that. Chemo accumulates over weeks (she had one session/week) - first month is "ok, we will make it through it". Then it becomes unbearable.
Yeah, that is true. There also should be a mechanism for kicking members out, if they are not constructive, yet remain on the receiving end. Just the threat of it, might help.
Maybe you then care to bring your evidence?
I ran into issues with TS too. Main issue I recall now was maintaining a grand total count of events that were already rolled up into daily counts was not fast since it always looked back at all the data. There was no way in the ts patterns to efficiently express it without handrolling something. The issue was that a grand total count can’t be expressed in terms of a hypertable because there’s no time column.

It’s fantastic for workloads that neatly fit in the hypertable pattern though.
Every time you visited a google property with Firefox you had this banner that said “the web is better with chrome” (or something) and had a download button.

Every single person I set up with Firefox (parents, non tech savvy fiends) ended up replacing it with chrome. When I asked they said it was because “google said it was better.”
I tried this once (in a swimming pool, not a hot tub) -- outdoor temps were around 110F and the pool was over 90F. It was quite unpleasant and definitely not refreshing.

Your body can evaporatively cool in hot weather as long as it's dry out and the humidity (and hence wet bulb temperature) is low enough. In a pool, there's no evaporative cooling, and your skin surface will be the same temperature as the water. If it's too hot, it's too hot.
Regarding the Balkans …

Low cost of living in some regards … housing for example compared to most western countries.

But higher cost of living in others … price of gas for example… it’s close to 1.75$ per litere.

Food in the big cities is slightly cheaper, but not that much cheaper than the west. Around 40-50$ per person at the restaurant.

Food is much cheaper in the smaller towns, but most people from the west are unlikely to want to live there. Gas the same, housing is basically free, but there’s a reason for it.
Are you insinuating a single truck carrying supplies for _thousands_ to a store is even remotely comparable to _thousands_ of cars driving to the store?

You're comment can be distilled to "well the solution is many orders of magnitude better than the status quo, but it's not perfect so it's equally bad"
The populace in the 90s was pretty well primed with the remnants of anti-vietnam, anti-war messaging. 9/11 changed things very quick.

Maybe set them up at NeoCities, depending on age, but could also move into CGI and RSS with this. I may be way off, but I feel like CGI could be a bridge between markup and programming.

My sparse knowledge of CGI dates to the 90s, and IANAP(rogrammer).
I used to use DO Spaces and Backblaze, but then I found Wasabi and have switched everything over since. It pretty much has full S3 compatibility, and doesn’t use Minio or Ceph. Mostly just keep adding data, very rarely delete data.

According to GitHub, no, but it may have been available before then. Regardless, the design of Honeycomb's database(store?) aligns more with an analytical workload, which FoundationDB lists as a non-goal. It may not have been a good fit then or even now.
> What we need to focus on is infrastructure for walking, biking and public transportation

And busses, light rail, intercity trains.

But America associates one-car-per-person with all kinds of twisted politics and self-esteem anxiety.

We need a psyops program to wean people off cars, and it will take a decade or more. Just look at the anger in any HN thread that is critical of cars, it runs deep.
It was video footage of people trying to steal the robot. That feels like a weird basis for an article about the privacy implications of sharing video from delivery robots with the government. Like, of course they are going to provide the video in this particular case, why would they hesitate and why would anyone question it?

"The problem is that neither Kashani, nor Thelwell, nor the company’s privacy policy actually explain how long it keeps video for, what its surveillance policies are, or how it intends to uphold these policies in the face of, say, a police subpoena."

Except that's not the problem in this case. It has nothing to do with it. The article goes on to mention more incidents of vandalism against the robots. Also plainly good reasons to share video with the police.

Titles have always been meaningless to me. I have seen CTOs that are amazing humans and fully capable of performing code review over their company's codebases. I have also seen CTOs who are late to meeting/no-shows, less competent than junior developers, etc.

Titling nonsense aside, what passes as "senior" today would be a no-hire decision for a junior developer slot in 2005. Things have slid pretty far in my view. There aren't many "developers" out there who are willing to push as hard as you had to 2 decades ago. ChatGPT basically shoves the tutorial & job offer down your throat these days. In the 90s you had to drive to the fucking library to learn about what a computer is - If you were lucky, they'd have a box of AOL trial CDs on the checkout counter.

If you want to get as good as some of the greybeard crowd, you are going to have to invent your own hell and then practice inside of it. No one will do this for you. I feel like those of us constrained by dial-up (or worse) were actually really fortunate in some ways. This wall was a fantastic filter. It really made you think "is this interesting enough to suffer through, or should I just observe it in the news?" Imagine spending a month debugging a problem without the aid of google, stack overflow, et. al. Most "developers" today would laugh and walk away from the industry if they experienced this.

For me, front-end / back-end job duty separation is the #1 canary pointing towards a weakening of general expectations for "software people". Not saying that the developers need to know how to use photoshop to design & iterate sophisticated UI designs with the client's marketing team, but when I first started out I was expected to take a final PSD and convert it to a reasonable HTML/CSS layout - in addition to all other backend/database/hosting/infra work.

One might make accusations that someone who manages all of these things is mediocre at all of them, but I would counter that shipped products are infinitely more valuable than things that never ship. I have observed that in companies where you have to assemble the entire justice league & merge 10+ PRs to update a dropdown list's contents, things usually aren't shipping very rapidly.
