No the opposite is the case. How would you expect a zero minimum price to be enforced? All waste products would have to be disposed by the government for free and the thing is that this costs money. Negative prices signal a desire to get rid of something.
Or in short: Google Maps isn't a map, it's a turn-by-turn nav that pretends to be a map.

A good digital map is a stellar tool for orientation and discovery. Google Maps isn't, because orientation and discovery goes against pushing you recommendations (read: ads). They don't want you to have spatial awareness - they want you to blindly follow paths that make them money.
A very effective solution for that is a well-configured shell. IF you summarize the state of the repo in the prompt, it is always visible while typing a command.

As a Finn, probably just send out a message on some social media platform that people need to start turning on their saunas for the stability of the network. (Alternatively, like fingrid did, send a notification to my phone saying to "consume energy normally, as the pricing issue does not reflect energy availability")

Even a fairly small electric sauna is ~10 kW, so that's be just 10000 homes solving that problem.

Ask HN: Do I keep an old banger or buy a EV?
So this is a "personal intersects policy" thought.

I read that on average a new Electric Vehicle has so much energy embedded in its creation that it needs to be driven 100,000 miles before the amount of carbon emitted in its creation is less than the amount for a new petrol car, plus the emissions of the petrol.

So we have been a one car family for years, and only occasionally does life and work mean that becomes painful. But it's more and more given a job chnage.

My father in law is going for a new car, and is handing over his old banger as a second car. I had been angling for a nice small EV. But this will be a second car (I know first world problems and so on) but it will barely do a thousand miles a year.

I don't think I can justify the market signal of a new EV when simply running the old petrol car into the ground is, it seems counter-intuitively, more climate friendly.

Yes this is absolutely a first world problem - but it's still a problem. At what point should we subsidise new EVs versus just running old cars (versus urban planning, public transport, and other solid not car centric solutions)

> All of this is on the first page of google search results for "Rockland County polio", but thanks for not doing even that much and jumping straight to "hmm, lots of jews live there, this guy must be a neonazi!".

I look up "Rockland County"; I see a bunch of things that specifically mention it being Jewish. So okay, what am I supposed to assume on a topic that 1) has nothing to do with Jews, but which 2) has a long history of conspiracy theories attached to it, which sometimes includes Jews (because all conspiracy theories do)?

I did not think of a list of search queries I could possibly do in order to find some obscure event I didn't know existed.

The idea that negative prices are something weird is pretty silly.

A negative price indicates that the person sellers disposal technique is worse than the buyers disposal technique. In other words, the market is working as intended.

Nobody is complaining about the cost of garbage disposal where people are paying for having less (!) stuff.
Shouldn't the 8th line of the example code read "requires release (op == CalcOp::add || op == CalcOp::sub) ==> arg 2 != none;" ? I'm assuming it's some kind of constraint. Although if it is, the following "check arg2 != none;" seems redundant.

Most folks don't realise that RocketLab is also more than just a launch provider. They have diversified into providing their own satellite platform, Photon. Which I think, in itself, is a innovative product for space.

FALSE: ‘An EV has to travel 50,000+ miles to break even’

One of the most common false claims made against EVs is that they offer little or no climate benefit over conventional cars, due to the emissions associated with making their battery.

In a Twitter post promoting his anti-EV comment article for the Daily Mail, for example, the climate-sceptic former Conservative peer Matt Ridley claimed:

“An EV has to travel 50,000+ miles to break even with an ICE [internal combustion engine] car. That number is growing, not shrinking.”

This is doubly false. As Carbon Brief showed in its 2019 factcheck, it takes less than two years for a typical EV to pay off the “carbon debt” from its battery. Over the full vehicle lifecycle, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from an EV are around three times lower than an average petrol car.
You're just proving their point by calling what they wrote conspiracy theory, without refuting or even interacting with a single thing they actually said, to claim politics is "actually never" about money or power grabs, and "almost always" about sincerely held beliefs. That's just laughable.

> Landmark based navigation. All you need to do know is [some big landmark, like central park, or the sea] is behind you. Now to get to your destination, you want store X on your right and move forward.

Yes, but one very important and ubiquitous landmark in urban environment is an intersection. Two roads intersecting create an unique point that's easy to find (follow one of the roads until an intersection, then verify by checking street name plates). It's exactly for this reason you'd want a map to always show you street names.

Google Maps doesn't. It also doesn't reliably show most other landmarks you'd care about, like stores or monuments. Google Maps just plain sucks at being a map.
I have an offline-compatible osm-based map app that can do useful stuff like routing without network connection. Of course it doesn't know about changing conditions ahead, but on the other hand it's nice that it never gives up on me, it can always do its job.

This is alarming. Does anyone know what the current state of space weather protection/mitigation is for electricity grids in the west?

IIRC in 2012 the Earth missed a giant CME by one week, and had it hit Earth there would have been 80% casualties in the US (according to a US government committee), due to the fallout of failing electrical transformers. I'm not aware that this issue has been rectified - probably due to the magnitude of the task.

Edit:
This suggests the issue is being addressed but not to what extent: https://www.space.com/space-weather-impacts-electric-grid-pr...

innovation in raw developing software is always very welcome. my main gripe with basically all of them is that the controls to manipulate colors are very tricky to use for the precise work that color grading requires.
"Curves" is still the de facto standard even if it is a usability nightmare, and apparently simple stuff like "take the non saturated, light blues and move them towards cyan" is very hard or straight up impossible in many raw converters. This is especially painful if you compare that to video grading software and its companion LUT building software, where new paradigms to manipulate color has emerged.

I sincerely hope that this is an effort that will bring the state of the art forward - the author's stance on scene referred workflows is a good premise
You often don't have memory protection in embedded and coding errors, running over stack space could cause such problems. Usual remedy is to detect these with diagnostics and issue a reboot to clean state ASAP.

> An advanced enough auto-GPT bot given a bad goal might be all you need. Cripple enough infrastructure and humanity is going to be starving to death within weeks.

AI risk enthusiasts tend to define "bad goal" as one that sounds reasonable but has unexpected side effects. The real risk to infrastructure and physical safety though is that people will use AI to assist in hacking during a hot war. In this case the goal is only bad from the perspective of one side of the conflict, and the solutions are the same in any event because human hackers can also do a lot of damage, at least in theory. Our computing infrastructure hasn't ever really been tested in a hot war between sophisticated powers, the closest is currently Russia v Ukraine where electricity outages and the like have been caused by hackers but the damage seems minor compared to that inflicted by conventional warfare. So this is maybe a "hopeful" outcome - the much touted cyberwarfare has fizzled so far.

So the argument would have to become that AI hackers will be vastly better at disruption than human hackers are. And I guess I can sort of believe that in principle one day but currently they are very far away from this sort of capability.
> Finnish officials now ask people not to moderate their electricity use "for the common good".

How would moderating electricity use help in this situation?

> Heads they win, tails you loose. This is how markets work.

Look, i don’t know enough about the system to think through all the consequences. But it sounds like if they don’t intervene the company who filled the wrong bid might default on it.

And not just financially in the “they are bankrupt” sense, but also in the “not enough power will be generated to balance the grid” sense. That can in extremis push their whole country into literal blackout. (I assume there are stabilising functions, and secondary effects which would prevent this, but don’t know about how reliably we can count on them.)

I understand that a faceless corporation suffering massive losses gives you the warm and fuzzy feelings. But if the grid happens to go down because of this, is that a preferable outcome? Do you hate the company so much to risk hurting and risking many many people in the whole country?

It seems that every element is now pill shaped. What went wrong with rectangles with slightly rounded corners?

Are they going to get the top and bottom curved out as well and give us oval next?
Slightly OT:

A kid once told me that when he was about 8 he went to visit his grandparents, who live in the desert. He played outside, alone, for awhile. When he returned, he had an odd mark on his arm.

His grandparents told him it needed immediate attention, and brought him to the hospital.

The guard who inspected their car at the hospital parking, told them not to leave the car and to keep the windows up. Within a few minutes, several men in "Corona suits" escorted them all into a closed room, and left them for a few hours.

The docs then came and told the child and his grandad, that the marks looked liked the bubonic plague, and so they immediately quarantined them. The fact that they are both alive and healthy three hours later, implies that it is something else, so they will now get regular treatment.

I have no way of verifying the story but I imagine it is true (though perhaps not recalled 100%, he was 8 at the time).

It reminded me just how close we really could be to having another worldwide plague.

I think we basically agree on this. The question is whether a flat policy of "nobody can ever control more than a billion dollars" has any justification, either pragmatically or ethically. "Wow that's a lot" and "Maybe they aren't actually very smart" aren't really that well founded.

"Non-response". Renault had electric vehicles on the market in 2012 (Zoe), same year as the Tesla Model S. The BMW i3 came out in 2013. Different focus, slightly slower research for some groups to get a common platform (e.g. VW), but it's not like there was absolutely nothing and it took 10 years for European car manufacturers to realise EVs can work.
> including one going backwards behind the tanker with a cable to the stern of tanker - presumably to stop it in a hurry!

To act as a brake, which allows the tanker to run higher RPMs pushing more water over the rudder to increase steering authority, and also to directly steer by pulling the stern around in some cases.

The largest LPG tankers into Grangemouth carry ~40,000 m^3, so if you see one on fire, I wouldn't hang around.

> I wish we had open source modern lte hardware

We don't need that; if our data is encrypted the modem hardware sees only noise passing through. Yes, it can know who we are speaking with or which address we're connecting to, but that information would be already known by the carriers anyway and shared with whoever has the power to tell them to. All we need is Free and Open Source Software and Hardware outside of the modem, so that our data can't be intercepted before it is being encrypted or after it is being decrypted - think about a malicious app intercepting where you tap the screen so that it can read all your passwords even before they're fed into some app or a browser code. Now think what would happen if this malicious code was built into the screen driver itself, or the storage driver for data that comes encrypted but is being decrypted to be read and stored by the user. We badly need open source everywhere, but asking for it in radio hardware is a lost cause; carriers will never open up their devices, and for a very good reason.
It's not like predicting the weather, if that's what you're asking. The solar observatories watch the sun constantly, so we see when elections occur, but there is little to no warning before they happen.

This is the part where they should be reminded they're designing a product that should be useful, not a work of art. Label-less street names are fine on posters or those metal-engraving sheets you can hang in your living room and marvel at the grid structure.
