> If we can identify things as being the results of corruption via lobbying, why not fire them or prosecute them?

That's an excellent question. In many places 'lobbying' is legal, technically it is supposedly to inform the clueless legislators about various interests. But in practice it very quickly turns into 'soft' corruption, meetings in holiday resorts (oh, do bring your family) and so on. Whatever lines are drawn the amount of money available to get around them is practically infinite and politicians (and civil servants) are not all equally good at determining when they are targeted and might be across the line before they realize it (and then it gets much harder to go back than to have never crossed it before).

Occasionally people are terminated, and occasionally there are prosecutions. But there is a very large amount of information about who may have been involved in corruption and only a limited amount of prosecution and investigatory power so the bulk of these cases will end up being ignored.
The Artemis 1 launch was the first (and only) test launch of the SLS. It was successful, and yes, they launched it with expensive payload, the Orion capsule, which was also tested successfully. On the other hand, the SLS development was and is probably a lot more expensive than for Starship, while being much less technologically advanced.

AI and capitalism are an incredibly dangerous combination.

Associating your human worth with your economic productivity and then limiting exponential economic productivity to a few already powerful people is a nightmare.

Economies of scale can be rephrased as winner take all.

Never thought I'd say this, but I am glad post modernism exists. A philosophical movement that rejects grounded representations of art or philosophy is somehow the perfect bulwark against AI.

Soda fountains exist, are common, and predate plastic bottles.

Even if they didn’t, I’m not sure the logic here. Drinking soda from a bottle is just as much an unnecessary luxury as drinking water from a bottle, in both situations a person could just drink water from the tap instead. But we’re going to allow people to harm the environment with unnecessary packaging as long as they also include unnecessary sugar (which also harms the environment), but we won’t allow the unnecessary packaging if it doesn’t have the unnecessary sugar?

Am I in the minority here?
I knew a guy that had only one job, but he never actually did it. It would take 3-6 months to get fired and then he'd just get another job and peace out for a few months. I think he worked at one place for almost 8 months and then got laid off. After on-boarding he'd just lay low and maybe answer emails once a week.

Beats "working" 3 or 4 jobs and spending over 40 hours a week doing so.

Show HN: Zero Trust Security Assessment
Hey HN!

I want to share a project I've been working on, a Zero Trust Assessment Tool. It's designed to provide insights into your identity and device security framework. It incorporates data on user authentication and device management practices to generate a rating based on the CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model.

Key Features:

-Comprehensive analysis of identity and device-related factors

-Recommendations for enhancing your security environment

I'd love for you to give it a try and get some feedback. Thanks!

One hundred percent. Most people I’ve seen dismiss ChatGPT simply refuse to engage it appropriately. It’s not likely to solve your most complex problem with a single prompt.

Asking the right questions is such an important skill in and of itself. I think we’re seeing to some extent the old joke about engineers not knowing how to talk to people manifest itself a bit with a lot of engineers right now not knowing quite how to get good results from ChatGPT. Sort of looking around the room wondering what they’re missing since it seems quite dumb to them.

Well, I'd say that while it might be a problem to be solved by governments and banks, it certainly ends up being egg on the Universities' faces.

Does electric heat mean heat pumps or radiant? Because we have saved a bunch of money switching our heat from natural gas to heat pump
That pertains to the direct heating with electricity? Of course it's ought to be expensive because of naturally low efficiency of electricity production from same natural gas with power plant being a heat engine that can't overcome natural limit put in place by Carnot cycle.

Try heat pumps.

>> If we can automate that, then 0 people collect enough grain for infinite people.

The people who built the automation want to be paid (in perpetuity since they "own" it), as do the people who maintain the automation. But when nobody has a job, they can't pay. So we confiscate from the "owner" and tax the wages of the "maintainers" and hand it to the masses via UBI so they can "pay" for the services of the others (but food is free). I suspect wealth redistribution is an important function of the US government and tax system, but when things get to far out of whack it's going to look absurdly stupid and people will not play any more.
The only way to eliminate uncaptured value is to set the price to exactly the amount that is the limit of what the person who most wants one is prepared to pay.

Congratulations, you've captured the maximum possible value... from one sale.

If you want to sell 1,000 vehicles, unless you're willing to have a salesperson wheedle every single buyer out of the maximum amount they're willing to pay, rather than just doing some market research and setting a "reasonable" price, there will be uncaptured value in 999 of those sales. But you'll probably make more money, with less work, in that scenario.

Tauri and CrabNebula announce formal partnership
Most people I know treat a 4 year degree as some form of blue collar work placement program. There is no consideration for education, but instead just minimum required criteria to qualify for a job exactly matching the educational major. No wonder so many people are disappointed and that they lack passion and competence for their work.

This is why I tell people if they really want to learn to program learn on their own. Get a degree in the humanities (English, Art History, Literature, History) to learn composition and more formally correct communication. If they really want to learn computer science theory do it as a masters. I get the feeling most people don't really want to learn to program as instead they want to jump straight into higher paid employment.
I don't have a formal compsci background but one of the most enlightening things I've undertaken recently was a course involving data modeling. this seems like an important exercise many overlook.
>2. If someone falls behind on their assigned story quota, how would a manager know whether that is because the story didn't meet the criteria in item 1, or because the person isn't putting in sufficient effort because of OE or other commitments?

They could expect to know the reason this happened (e.g. prerequisite not ready, this design issue is not solvable so we're testing alternatives, etc.).

And if it happens often, they can always fire the person.

To return your own question: "If someone falls behind on their assigned story quota, how would a manager know whether that is because the story didn't meet the criteria in item 1, or because the person isn't putting in sufficient effort?"

Whether that's because they just slack off, or because they don't have the skills so everything takes extra time even though they work hard, or because of "OE or other commitments" is irrelevant, isn't it?

Besides, it is not just "other employment" that would have such a concern. The same is true for e.g. trying to build a personal startup MVP on your spare time or building a simpler passive income side-gig, both things which HN crowd loves, and which employees should totally be allowed to have (and lots of IT success stories wouldn't be possible if they weren't).
Correction: a volume with a minimal surface area is required.

Surface area goes up slower than volume, if a volume shape simply scales up.

That is the interesting result, if it holds up.

My conjecture: An increasingly fractal surface whose area increases as fast or faster than an increasing volume would get around this limit.
There is a missing step in the middle.

In fact Starship may make space stations obsolete, for the same reason we don't have anchored floating research stations out on the sea that we go back and forth to using little boats. We use research ships instead.

It's also, you have to make an artistic sacrifice when you're doing it. You're writing a first draft of a novel, but it's not meant to be a good first draft, it can have plotholes and characters who learn nothing and unintentional red herrings and all sorts of other stuff that drives readers up the wall.

My book, I got to the word count but the characters hadn't done a quarter of what they were supposed to over the plot, it was a book with an extended beginning, a little bit of middle, no resolution or ending. So I learned a lot about myself! But if I was trying to actually make a worthwhile narrative, well, I need to consider how much reasonably fits in 50,000 words and how many books do I need to tell the bigger story.

If only there were such a thing as a gas-based heat pump. It would be a hybrid of electrical motors but the cold element would be heated with gas.
The complexity comes with interaction in general. Writing plugins on their own is simple. And defining a good API for most common use cases is also not hard today, as we have enough experience now. But the hard part will be defining an independent Interface which will work everywhere on a satisfying level.

I mean that's basically the biggest selling-point of plugin-systems today. Not that you can write your own functions to do something, but how well you can integrate it into the interface and deliver your own interface to enhance the app. And another part would be safe interaction with other plugins, and necessary package-managment.

> One issue in the debate is that "electrification" doesn’t mean the same thing to everyone.

> But, in the Energize Denver initiative, city officials are talking about heat pumps versus gas furnaces, which means a different set of cost calculations.
For the hard sciences things lab lab equipment can matter even for undergrad. The ironic thing here is that in the US large public universities often have far better labs and equipment that the Ivies. A few are decent at science but many others very much not so. I’d take a Chemistry undergrad from a UC Berkeley, UCLA, or Penn State over one from Brown or Dartmouth all day long. You’d literally be paying a ton more for an objectively less good degree.

ABR is absolutely required for distribution. MoQ also supports ABR, but additionally gives you the ability to also drop the tail of a GoP if a rendition switch is too slow, or no lower rendition exists.

As for maintaining existing standards, it depends on your goals. If you're not trying to push boundaries then absolutely, HLS/DASH is great for quickly getting off the ground. But if you're looking for something in-between HLS and WebRTC then MoQ is compelling.
