In the UK we 'technically' have a fuel duty escalator that goes up each year (I say technically because it's been overridden by the chancellor every year for the last decade).

Anyway, I think that's a good idea for these situations.

I communicates that prices will be going up in the long term and allows people to cut their cloth accordingly.

I do share your concern though. I think we need to resurrect the idea of the 'peoples car' to get cheap new EVs out there, to make up for a lack of depth in the second hand ev market.
I do sometimes. When it's a complex system that I'm building, I draw out some arrows and rough ideas of classes and functions.
I'm not looking for literally everything to be declarative, but ideally each snippet of shell script would be entirely independent and run effectively reproducibly. GitHub/GitLab do this well enough, although not perfectly. Concourse does this really well. Bazel is also great at this.

We know they've got the capacity for the required level of transformation just by looking at the things they export to us, along with satellite pictures[0] of their growing power sources (and indeed all other infrastructure) of all types.

[0] Well, remote sensing in general. You can argue if a map at specific spectral lines to detect industrial byproducts is a picture or a graph.
I know at one point GM cars were mostly used to sell GMAC financing, though I think that particular inversion has stopped now.
Well, depending on the actual situation it might or might not be "insane". I mean, why is AirBnB responsible for withholding taxes from people who are not their employees? Or even are individual business owners? When you go to a restaurant for dinner do you withhold their income tax when paying the bill? No, because it's not your tax, not your problem.
You call it hate speech, others call it free speech, who is the ultimate arbiter?

Twitter prior to Musk was full of hate speech too. You just had to be in the target group to understand that.
I encrypted healthcare data at a previous job. It was indeed making the app much less efficient. Each health institute had their private keys. I considered to have keypairs per user, but it would have been a bit too much work but more neat.

The indexes were a challenge. I was using some argon2d key derivation algorithm to hash the values to use in some indexes. For example if you want to get all the records with the value "toto" in a field, you derive toto (with some common salt), and then you can look in the index all the documents that have the same derived value.

It did leaks some information and some values couldn't be indexed like this because that would leak too much. So sometimes, we had to fetch all the documents from the database and filter on the application level. We also sometimes didn't encrypt the datetimes so we could do efficient queries on specific time ranges.

To be honest, I did that mostly for fun. I know that some people are content with the managed encryption from their favourite cloud provider.
something like different branches? One for development and then move it into production?
How is AirBnB web 3.0?
Summarizing large documents. Finding relationships between two (or more) documents. Building a set of points bridging the gap between the documents. Correcting malformed text data.

Not everything is just data in a database or some structured format. Sometimes you have blobs of text from a user, or maybe you ran whisper on an audio/video file and now you just have a transcript blob… it’s never been easier to automate all of this stuff and get accurate results.

You can even have humans in the loop still to protect against hallucinations, or use one model to validate another (ask GPT to correct or flag issues with a whisper transcript)

The liquidation value is usually way less than the "going concern" value.

Mind you, there's also the "flatpack" version where the company technically disappears but all its assets are bought by a different company that just happens to be run by the same people.

Ultimately there's nothing hugely bad about the lessors getting stiffed in the bankruptcy - at least they still have the asset! Suppliers often end up worse off if they've shipped actual goods but not had their invoice paid. This is why landlords do credit checks and ask for deposits.
This is a draconian reading of the standard which I think no reasonable person would agree with.

If this is about 12.12.2, then it refers exclusively to the 6GHz STA, and not "to the entire network", which on Wi-Fi is a very loosely defined concept (same BSS? same ESS? already the standard forces different channels to use different BSSIDs).

Nothing prevents the 6 GHz AP's SSID from "coincidentally" being the same as the 2.5/5GHz AP. In fact, this is exactly how a/n works now: even though initially it was common for 5GHz STAs to operate on a different SSID, no one bothers to check, and nowadays I can barely find a consumer/business AP that _by default_ still keeps separate SSIDs for both 2.5 and 5.

While I can find APs that today by default give different SSIDs to 2.5/5 and 6 (oh, the irony), I have not found any that would prevent me from setting the same SSID to all; and some APs I have already set the same SSID to 2.5/5/6 by default. These all have the Wi-Fi logo.

> You can’t band steer 6GHz clients to a preferred 6GHz compatible WPA3 only network, it’s up to the user to pick the right SSID.

You have never been able to truly band steer clients since this is at the client's discretion. Even if you give everything the same SSID, the client may choose to prefer the 2.4GHz band instead -- this is also one of the reasons it was common to give both of them a different SSID early on, so that users could force 5GHz.

When commercial routers "band steer" they simply prevent the client from associating to to the lower bands (by e.g. hackishly not responding to probes at that band), thereby leaving the client with only one choice: the band you want.
Glad to hear it. Would you like to tell us more about what you found interesting (either here or on our Discord)? I am asking because that's my favorite public use case so far :).

Glassdoor doesn’t count. It’s all self reported and full of biases. Taking a look at the median salaries for a few positions in SF and it’s grossly too low. Plus a lot of people might have the same job title as you but it doesn’t mean they do the exact same job as you
Commercial real estate has been in crisis since covid started.

Higher interest rates are the final nail in the coffin. Commercial estate is generally bought through variable rate mortgages, not fixed ones.

This means that at the same time lenders are under a deadly combination.

On one hand, higher rates means that owners need to raise rent fees (which they could for more than a decade consistently) to pay down their much expensier mortgages.

On a second hand, there's no market for their property, and if there is, it's at way reduced prices than it was before.

Third, the property value crashes, thus putting even more pressure on these mortgages to be refinanced with banks unwilling to come to terms and negotiate.
Why don't you just both preferentially use the ev?

It's a very good thing that we don't actually depend on solving hard problems for our salaries. Then every solution that was invented would get written up and that whole area of work would be closed - the industry would employ a tiny number of academics only.

In actuality I do the same things over and over again and if it's something I haven't done then probably 10s of thousands or 100s of thousands have done it before. I certainly need a search engine to be able to work so it's obvious that I'm copying more than anything.
When SectorLISP claimed to be the tiniest programming language in the world, it included (1) a Turing machine program, (2) an implementation of SectorLISP written in SectorLISP, and (3) a proof that it could run software that had been written for the original LISP 1.5 system built by LISP's inventor. If milliForth is making the same claim, then it should hold itself to the same standard. Otherwise it's just a calculator written by an anonymous person.

> how can they possibly have reliable enough stats on the number of "progressive schools" that "group children by race and teach them to think of themselves as 'racial beings'" to assert that this number is "growing"?

Polling students, teachers, and staff at educational institutions is big business. Everybody wants to know about trends in pork-barrel industries, and schools are one of the biggest opportunities. It's not at all unbelievable that the statistics exist and data has been collected.

> why is AirBnB responsible for withholding taxes from people who are not their employees

Because apparently the law says so? Rent income is already taxed at a flat rate (at a relatively generous 21%) as opposed of using the marginal tax rate.

Also VAT and sale taxes are commonly withheld at payment. In UK it was the rule until a few years ago for banks to withhold tax on interest income.

I would propose that low level tax evasion can be a good thing. Tax evasion is the main balance against corporate takeover and monopoly control via lobbying/evasion at scale. I mean if someone is generating little money why would you want to tax them. One reason the small firms today get taxed heavily is because they are an easy target. Physical presence = easy to find, small = easy to intimidate. Meanwhile for years FB/meta/apple evaded taxes on a huge scale and were barely chased. It doesn't seem like the tax regime has stopped large multi-nationals taking over most high streets or tech firms taking over the internet. As a concrete example starbucks paid zero tax for 3 years in the UK, meanwhile many many small coffee shops paid a lot. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-britain-starbucks-tax-idU...

Ask HN: What do you think about a roadmap builder tool?
Hi everyone, I'm planning to make a web tool which you can create a roadmap for everyone to view. It would be something like https://roadmap.sh but you can create and publish by yourself on the site.

I realize this need when there's a lot of roadmaps people share on the internet but it's in blog format or diagram format. That couldn't be tracked well and hard to view the whole map.

So before starting, really love to hear what are the expectations or thoughts about this tool.
> If you are doing a data migration and failed to account for some unexpected data, now you have people on different schema versions until you figure it out. Now, yes, if you are at sharding scale this may occur anyway, but consider that before you hit that point, a single database is easiest.

This can be accounted for and handled. Though if schema issues are enough of a scare I wonder if a documentdb style embedable database like a couch/pouchdb might make more sense.
How you make the leap from "they absolutely want to exterminate your kind" (the 'kind' being those who are pro-Confederacy) to 'this is white people being replaced' is amazing.

Nothing in Elons' response implies that he sympathizes with the Confederate-loving moron he's replying to. He's merely making the point that 'they' (whoever 'they' are) want to see an end to the kind of people who worship slave owners.

This doublethink is astonishing. Please, seriously reconsider your own prejudice when making such preposterous leaps.

His claims have been supported with hard evidence. But it’s hard evidence that people don’t like, so they ignore it or throw “-ism” exceptions [1] at it and pretend that precludes them from critically thought. [2]. You can see how an example of how much the media loves apply that “misinformation” word you keep using to people who refer to officially peer reviewed government sponsored research that doesn’t align with the narrative they want to push here [2]. I expect that level of bias from the media, encyclopedias should be tasked to rise above it. The report to which he refers is here [3], published by the NIH. And spoke. about here [4]

The reason for this is that the rent they would pay will fluctuate with the market. If a city grows and an area becomes more expensive, the landlord captures the uplift by raising the rent and WeWork would operate on a thin margin. On the other hand, if they buy the property, then (if its with leverage) the mortage should be relatively stable as surrounding rents rise making it cheaper. After the mortgage is paid off there is no rent to pay at all and 100% of the location value is captured as profit. Also, the value of the property goes on the balance sheet, giving you back most of the cash paid on the mortgage (or the upfront cash price), so little loss.
Who can say what's possible but there are very few "debugging transcripts" for neural nets to train on out there. So it'd have to sort of work out how to operate a debugger via functions, understand the codebase (perhaps large parts of it), intuit what's going wrong, be able to modify the codebase, etc. Lots of work to do there.

This is the most hilarious part to me. This is a VC’s forum, right? So, ostensibly they offer connections to the right organizational entities. But then a startup darling forms that offers a boring thing that already exists and it gets labeled as innovative. So, what were the WeWork VCs thinking? Did they expect failure or were they just wrong?

Following someone on Twitter doesn't mean you support them. It means you want to pay attention to what they say in the future.

I'm not sure the argument is for "stupid" per se, but more a question of "delusion or crime?"

If you make a set of claims and forward-looking statements that it's unlikely to be possible to deliver, get a lot of money on that basis, and then fail to deliver, was that just incredible over-optimism ("stupidity") or intentional fraud? In the case of SBF and Holmes it was unambiguously proven-in-court fraud. WeWork seems to have escaped that, although a lot of the deals make Adam's counterparties look especially stupid. Such as Softbank, who've lost a huge amount of money.

It's not really meant for the same applications as 802.15.4. it competes with DMR, DStar, and C4FM for narrow band digital voice over very long distances (single links can exceed 100mi easily).

What it solves relative to its competitors is having an open voice codec instead of relying on a very expensive silicon encoder/decoder chip while also having greater flexibility and performance.

Also, if we just look at data capabilities, Meshtastic is a much more interesting comparison.
There's just no way there was enough time for this to happen in the early universe, or really even after a measly 14 billion years

Why do we assume mass distribution in the early universe followed a regular pattern? We can't explain why the universe isn't isotropic and we can't explain why there's more matter than antimatter so why couldn't there have been clumps of very dense matter ready-made to collapse into a black hole?
