This is only because we have decided life's necessities should be sold to you with a healthy profit margin. It says a lot about our society when we say that no, poor people should not get more money, it would just be gobbled up by increased rents. Things like socialized housing, medicine, transportation, communication, education, as well as food, would do a lot to solve this, but since we've decided that these essential pieces of modern life should be used as a means to enrich a small few, we deal with this Ouroboros of a society.

I should qualify for my own benefits, theoretically. I'm autistic and bed-ridden, but don't get any of those benefits, because they want me to provide evidence of an active, ongoing job search, as well as previous rejections that show attempts to get a job.

I don't want to do that. I am not someone who needs to tire themself out working for the rest of their life. Yet that is what I would need to do in order to qualify for any support.

This is definitely the dream of the Lit team, that Lit itself gets smaller and smaller as the platform gets more capable. For example, the DOM Parts proposed spec would let us drop a lot of the most complicated code in lit-html.
Taxes pay for it, just like they pay for existing benefits schemes. In theory, we could eliminate many of the means-tested approaches we currently use, which impose significant overhead costs from the means-testing. Do those taxes come primarily from industries which are profiting from disrupted heavily labor markets? Do they come from general income taxes, or corporate taxes, or something else? All of these are interesting discussions to have, but "yes but who pays for it" isn't an argument not to do it.

I'm quite impressed with HAProxy.

It takes a little effort to fully understand the configuration file format (hint: you've got to read the documentation, not just look at examples to fully grok it), but it's so worth it, IMO.

It's also a nice treat to have the founder and technical leader (Willy Tarreau) of the HAProxy company being so active in the community, so many years later (the initital release was in 2001). I regularly see him answering e.g. newbie questions.

Humans have been living in Africa for as long as humans have existed--let's call that a round 300,000 years. The populations around where humanity first existed therefore reflects accumulated genetic diversity for all 300,000 years.

Let's say 100,000 years ago, a small group of humans left Africa for the other places of the world. That small group of humans represent a very small fraction of genetic diversity--it's effectively genetically identical. Assuming no more admixture over the millennia, the out-of-Africa humans will get more genetically diverse. But so are the original Africans, who also have the genetic diversity they started with--they're getting diverse no less quickly than the out-of-Africans, and since they started more diverse, the entire out-of-Africa can't ever catch up.

Real genetics is of course more complicated than this simple picture, but the basic principle holds that you find more diversity the closer you get to the origin.

As to the article: they fail to mention that Japan hasn't even begun to throw in the towel. The newest CEO of Toyota is doubling down on hydrogen powered vehicles.

I still believe there is potential for hydrogen/ammonia/methane fuel to be a seasonal storage mechanism. Battery technology does not seem capable of offering grid scale storage for the entirety of Winter. While the solar->fuel->electricity conversion takes huge efficiency hits, for “free” renewable energy, it can still pencil out as economical. Plus, it is feasible today without unobtanium (but not currently cost competitive vs fossil fuels)
I'm not so sure that BEVs will reach anything close to 100% of all cars on the road. My primary reason is this: as long as you "only" have 10%, 20%, even 30% BEVs the electric charging infrastructure is mostly free, we already have it. But after that, BEVs will require expensive infrastructure to be built in the electricity transmission grid. Think "we need to dig up all of the roads". Because it's not just cars going electric, it's everything else as well at the same time.

At that point hydrogen cars could very well see a resurgence. Especially in places with cold weather, where the fuel cell waste heat can be used for the climate control, while the BEV needs to spend energy running a heat pump, so the efficiency advantage of BEVs is mostly gone.

There are good use cases for both technologies.

For smaller, lighter vehicles in warmer climates, lithium batteries make a lot of sense.

For heavy, long haul trucks that require minimal refueling, hydrogen fuel cell makes a lot of sense.

You need to build out the infrastructure for both.
> we have decided life's necessities should be sold to you with a healthy profit margin

First, profit margins on things like groceries are pretty small. That's why grocery store chains are heavily consolidated: the only way to make a decent overall income in this business is with volume.

Second, both basic economics and all human history teach us that the best way to maximize the quantity and quality of "life's necessities" that are available is through a free market, where people provide these "necessities" because they want to earn a profit.

Third, to the people who provide "life's necessities", what you call "profit" is their income. If you're saying people should provide "life's necessities" with no profit, you're saying those people should have no income. Is that your position?
Fun fact: per mile driven, there are about 1/10th to 1/5th as many EV fires, as there are gas car fires.

But a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle has a battery that is cycled much more than a BEV (because it’s small). So a fuel cell vehicle has less durability not more.

> we don't have the distribution network that will be able to carry that extra power

I think people overestimate the net change in consumption. Making a gallon of gasoline takes about as much electricity as moving a BEV the distance the ICEV would go on that gallon. What'll change a bit is the distribution of the energy. But given that much of it will happen at night when the grid has historically been very underutilized, the net impact isn't a huge problem to deal with.

Suspiciously missing are efficiency numbers. How many "joules of hydrogen" do you get from one joule of electricity? We already know electric cars are on the order of 80% efficiency overall.
I think we'll see a synthetic version of jet fuel before we see a hydrogen powered plane in mass production.

> GraphQL is a performance nightmare, and while it might have nice and flashy dev tooling, it's fundamentally unoptimizable without extensive development investment - something that isn't an issue with REST.

That feels really true. I worked on a really large gql api, and it was a performance nightmare, lots of 10+ second queries that thrashed our database.

Fine grained security was a nightmare. We found no existing solutions, and rolled a few different solutions for this that were all awful and leaky. Eventually we threw a bunch of money at h1 to tease it all out.
I'm actually amazed at how little basic income helps people. The study had a control group which only received $50/month in aid (vs treatment groups that got $1000 a month or $6500 upfront and then $500 a month). The control group improved nearly as much as either of the treatment groups!

In terms of housing, the $1000 a month group only improved by 6% more than the $50 group. That is to say, even if you just give people enough money every month to get an apartment with a roommate, only 6% will actually use it that way.

In the actual report [0], they measure financial well-being, which improves across the board but does not differ between treatment and control. Surprisingly, measures of stress and anxiety actually increased for the treatment groups and decreased for controls.

There were a few positives - the treatment groups were somewhat more likely to get jobs, and used fewer services.

Obviously the organizers of the study want to promote its success, but I think most of what we see here is that homeless is a transient condition for some people, who find housing regardless of intervention. Mainly it's a demonstration that the extra $950 per month does surprisingly little in this population.

Is it an excellent large-scale stationary energy store though?

I mean, it seems like it should be but

* Hydrogen really likes to leak.

* Hydrogen breaks down the container holding it over time.

* Hydrogen is very low density. This means you need either a
very large container or very high pressure. Combined with 1 and 2 this is going to be expensive.

I'm really asking the question. I would love to know the full cost difference with current tech vs other options.

Where are you getting this? The article is indicating that only people experiencing homelessness were given this, and its indicating quite a few of the participants of the study got off the streets and even out of shelters.

Not everybody is homeless due to their financial mismanagement, some people just get runs of bad luck.
