I don't get why everyone is so defensive over this?

When a company says, "This is how we work," that is them telling you to conform your life to how they work if you want to work there. That's for any value of "this" from remote, in-office, hybrid, whatever.

There's nothing wrong with that.

It just happens that the people who are strongly in favor of remote work don't seem to acknowledge the fact that committing to remote work alienates some workers the same way that in-office work alienates some workers.

"Oh but they can go into the empty office" doesn't solve the problem the way so many pro-WFH people seem to think it does.

You can dislike tradition the same as someone dislikes the nontraditional. They're just preferences not unequivocally right or wrong choices.

Everybody just wants their employer to commit to the preference that they prefer.

$100 per ton, so:

"To get the atmosphere back to where it was before humans began to burn fossil fuels en masse would mean catching and storing more than 900 billion tons.

Today’s approaches can capture only a tiny fraction of what’s needed: around 2 billion tons of carbon dioxide annually, according to one recent study."^1

... so about $200 billion per year? That seems very reasonable. I imagine this would be a good use for old mines and things like that. What am I missing here?

I joke with the workers at the local corner store that their self-checkout demonstrates why they don't need to worry about AI taking their jobs. The machine is almost guaranteed to make a mistake at some point during the transaction. If not during, then afterwards, while making the customer bag, the machine continues to scan and starts a new transaction the cashier needs to manually cancel. One of them told me they only use the barcode scanner, the machine is one where you put all the items on and it uses vision to detect them, which I admit is on the more advanced side of things.

Impeachment is a political solution, though. Conviction in the house is a simple majority, but removal from office (or other forms of punishment) requires a 2/3 majority in the senate. That's not going to happen in the current environment, no matter how unsuitable an individual might be for office.

It's accountability, but in theory only.

If it is only 20 trees, you could use off the shelf sensors.

Its much better and cheaper to design from scatch, use an $0.04 ultra-low power Arm microcontroller with ADC or a Padauk, add a single layer pcb with two well proportioned pcb traces in a plastic bag as a capacitive moisture censor (better than resistive sensor) and a $0.12 solar cell or rechargable battery.
Single sensor cost around $0.41 excluding labor, mass produced $0.08 including labor and sensor network
Google is an ad company. The products they make are just good enough to reach a certain number of users and only if they get good telemetry and behavioural signals out of it.

Basically, HTML Web Components are classes extending HTMLElement registered manually via JavaScript / DOM API.

class superSlider extends HTMLElement {
connectedCallback() {
let targetEl = document.querySelector(this.getAttribute('target'));
let unit = this.getAttribute('unit');
let slider = this.querySelector('input[type="range"]');
}
}

customElements.define("super-slider",superSlider);

For a more sophisticated example with scss, jsx/tsx and ES20.. you could take a look at https://github.com/cyco/WebFun

My personal problem with these "native" components is, that the shadow DOM is pretty restricted compared to component frameworks like React, Vue or Svelte.
>Was the first comment under the influence of drugs?

No, it was not. Regarding this whole subthread in which I participated, I did it for some mutual logic-chopping fun.

But if you thought there was a chance it was, you shouldn't have replied to the second comment, because I would have been equally under the influence of the drugs for the second, if I had been so for the first comment. (Don't reply to a druggie.) After all, they were both done in one atomic comment transaction.
I really appreciate there being some concerted advocacy for shadowless web components!

So much of the beauty & elegance of the web was how declarative everything is, as that grants such observability & malleability. Shadow dom felt such an enterprise desire, to build much higher encapsulation walls, to layer in so much certainty, and that never felt like a goal I shared.

This article shows how light dom work can compose. I want to see light dom advocacy go further. It always seemed clear to me a web component/custom element could and should just self-modify the dom inside of it, move children around, build new content. Another example in the comments talks about maybe the user avatar element adding a div with the users name... Maybe the page or framework adds the icon, and the custom element then inserts that name, or that name and some aesthetic embellishment.

I guess my one concern with light dom / html web components is it seems like there have been - in some cases - some good performance wins from shadow dom. This wouldn't change what I go for unless I was desperate, but as a dev, in my head I see how shadow dom can scope down and reduce the number of elements that have to be traversed for a css specifier. and I want that win to be available somehow to me.

Really elating to see a lighter take on custom elements / web components. Thanks for the great links Simon!
Quarto is a really good wrapper around Pandoc.
This is an interesting attempt to ward off the growing skepticism of judicial supremacy in some groups. There is a fascinating struggle between judicial supremacy and constitutional supremacy in America with a long history. Obviously there are pros and cons to each view, and who is for or against one or the other often changes depending on the social issue at hand. I don't think a code of ethics will be very effective. A more substantial move would be to introduce term-limits.
Some sort of wiki-style site would be pretty neat, but on the other hand I also appreciate how barebones hn is and how it sticks to it's single purpose pretty well. Also getting a consensus on these things might be hard.
You can use an LLM as an interface only.

Works very well when using a vector db and apis as you can easily send context/rbac stuff to it.

I mentioned it before but I'm not impressed that much from LLM as a form of knowledge database but much more as an interface.

The term os was used here a few days back and I like that too.

I actually used chatgpt just an hour ago and interesting enough it converted my query into a bing search and responded coherent with the right information.

The point others are making is that it appears to be a zero-sum game, i.e., we're paying one way or the other, so the more compassionate option with better outcomes should win out. As I have seen it stated, the options appear to be to pay for: (i) criminalization and its effects/expenses, e.g., court system burden, incarceration, etc.; (ii) de-criminalization (potentially with legalization/taxation) to offset the cost of keeping cities livable by mitigating its effects/expenses, e.g., treatment and housing for addicts that may become homeless; or (iii) de-criminalization without paying for mitigations, leading to unlivable cities. Your comment reads like you see some way of simply not paying to deal with addicts, while also not having the consequences of a bunch of (potentially homeless) addicts living in society. If that's an accurate description of your point, how does that work? If it's not, then what do you mean?

Agreed! I think the Supreme Court is crazy. Depending on the decade, the constitution may or may not allow segregation, gay marriage, abortion, or slavery. You have to squint sometimes and turn the document sideways.

Your guess is as good as mine what the current Supreme Court will decide the constitution says or doesn't say. And on some issues they take decades of latency to come to these decisions.

I do think it is insane that we allow this in the modern world. Not to mention all the self-righteous posturing of lawyers absolutely convinced this system epitomizes "justice".

> But I see no reason to force privately insured or paying patients to die prematurely if it's against their wishes.

When did I ever even imply that? Please read thoughtfully.

> We already have legal basis for this; no constitutional amendment required. They are called Advance Directives, and a lawyer can help set it up.

Sorry, doesn't work. At all. I recommend asking a nurse working in a critical care unit how much those directives actually mean. In practice they are completely worthless because the hospital and doctors will do whatever will have the least chance of getting them sued -- which means they will listen to the family, and the family is not know for making good decisions in this regard.

Also, you are not allowed to kill yourself and doctors are not allowed to kill you. Remember Kevorkian? He was not killing mentally unwell people -- he was killing terminally ill people who looked forward to agony and despair in the time they had left, and they wanted to go with dignity on their own terms and he got put through the ringer in the courts and the press.

> Higher income earners will always pay more under the current schedule, but I see no reason to steal all of their money.

Is it stealing if the only reason they are able to make money and keep that money and use that money is because they have the protection of law, an infrastructure which works, and a stable monetary system and regulated economy, as well as an army to prevent anyone coming and taking everything from them? If they own a business and someone steals their IP and sells it under a different name, do they not get to utilize the courts and the government to shut that down ? Why should they not have to pay for that, it isn't free?

> Additionally, loan forgiveness is massively biased towards the wealthy. Only folks that thought a college degree had more reward than risk pursued them, and forgiving loans only helps those that delay repaying their debt or cannot afford to do so.

The problem is that every white collar job wants a 4 year degree for entry level work. We either need to bring back an apprenticeship system or we need to walk back the degree inflation or we need to give people options for cheap schools so they don't end up in debt for life. It is completely possible to publicly fund schools and have them be incredibly high quality and cost effective. Ask a European about that.

> If you want to change laws, this is where your focus should be. If it's legal to reduce one's tax burden, then one should. I would argue it's their duty as a taxpayer to do so. Anyone is welcome to donate extra to the IRS. They'll never turn you down.

I never said what they did was legal. I said they hide behind attorneys. If you are repo-ing a vehicle and one of them is on the street and the other is behind a fence with razor wire on it and a guard dog nearby which one will you take first? If you your employer runs of money to pay you to get the other one, then they won by intimidating you, not by having a paid off car.
I'd add longevity. If your company works for a product where you'll have to maintain the code you write now for the next decades, you don't want to deal with then-ancient abstractions. The JavaScript of a well-written web component should be as valid now as it will be in 10 years, as you're just using the platform.
So my thought was to utilize the capacitive soil moisture sensor and then coat the sides of the PCB with a waterproofing epoxy as Andreas recommended. My hope being that even if it craps out, I can just swap out the sensor, and since they are so cheap it won't be a big deal.

"Merely" is doing a lot of work there. As is "may or may not be". BlackRock very explicitly provides loans with the specific purpose of doing exactly that.

That's true. You'd slow it down a bit with the limited price increase & lowest-price-in-a-certain-timeframe rule, but you'd need some other remedy to plug that loophole.

Years ago when I was a teenager, I was subcontracted to add a "stateful packet-inspecting firewall" to some office NAT gateways. Since the gateway was Linux, I just wrote a handful of IPTables rules. But the contractor wanted to charge more money for the upgrade, so they asked me to make a splash screen and progress bar to advertise the firewall changes. The actual rules were about 8 lines, so I had to add some extra stuff and some fake status messages. In the end it looked like it was doing a lot and took about 10 seconds to finish the progress.
