This could easily been Expedia’s VAR submitting the serials to Apple Business Manager and having one of them off by a character.

I would assume Expedia buys in bulk so it’s possible all the serials that were scanned in could have had one or several serials entered wrong.

Generally when you buy a batch/bulk order, the last four will be different than the initial 8 for several dozen machines in that batch.

It’s taking a lot to pretend like you’re not being intentionally snarky.

No, I’m not actually arguing that because that’s not what I said nor is it an accurate rewording of what I said. I didn’t say anything about making anything free; I said “they can even charge for it”.
Zzz... They didn't get to be billionaires by caring about the little people.

Worth asking: Why do so many little people have servile (if not worshipful) obsessions with extremely rich / powerful / famous people - who neither know nor really care about their existence?
You could rewrite this entire article about the drywall industry, or the plumbing industry, or the lumber industry and it would mostly be the same.

Improving Supply Chain Security for Rust Through Artifact Signing
> I don't think most of us would automatically want to share the roads with a bunch of mentally ill drivers, even if, statistically, they were better than neurotypical drivers.

I'm not scared of mentally ill drivers. I'm scared of rich 16 year olds. I'm scared of drunk drivers. I'm scared of drivers sitting so low they can't see most of what is happening around them. I'm scared of drivers having seizures while driving (my mom was hit a while ago by a man who lost his license due to seizures, and still refused to stop driving). I'm scared of drivers who drive without a license because "fuck them, I drive when I want to". I'm scared of people mixing up gas and break pedals (just got hit by one), in cars which can go 0-60 in 2.6 seconds weighing 6000lbs.
I can see heat pumps costing more than natural gas furnaces in cold regions, but I would not have expected it in Phoenix. Are electricity prices super high or gas prices super low?
The title should say "nuclear energy is more expensive than renewables and fossil methane", based on these quotes:

> the report calculates the additional cost of making variable renewables reliable at shares of 60, 70, 80, and 90 per cent of the system

> we'll still need gas as a supporting technology

So this is unsurprising. Fossil fuels provide cheap reliability if you ignore the atmospheric cleanup cost.
Now, this is speculation on my part, but...

I think if Apple went out of business the service that's causing this problem wouldn't even function anymore, because I believe it relies on the MBP phoning home during the setup process and being informed that it belongs to the Expedia MDM group.

This would then be why fixing it requires a call to Apple, rather than being something you can do simply by wiping settings on the device itself. (However, I don't know whether this means that booting it in a Faraday cage, or just with the internet disabled, after wiping device settings would allow bypassing it.)
On old school electric.

Induction is way better for control and latency than gas.

The only issue is if you need to genuinely ignite something (like in wok cooking--but, then, get a blowtorch--if it's good enough for J. Kenji Lopez-Alt it's good enough for you).

One real problem is that the standalone induction burners are only 110V in the US and that hamstrings them dramatically. Induction cooktops, however, do not suffer from that issue as they will be wired into 208/220V.
It's supposed to know, but it actually doesn't.

At my first job they used mongodb for no reason other than it was the fad at the moment, with the big data and so on.

There were often crashes in the application because our records followed several different schemas, because of bugs in the application that were later fixed, behaviour that got changed, ORM got replaced with hand written code that was much faster…

Basically, what happens with over confident developers and CTO that think they are very good developers and aren't.
I have always thought that the phrase that was popular some years ago "science tells us that life begins at conception" was odd, and misunderstands what we know about life from science.

Life does not begin at conception because it never stopped. The sperm and the egg were both alive at the time of conception, and were life that split off of the collections of cells that we call the parents. Those parents were in turn conceived of live cells (again: a live sperm and a live egg) that came from their parents.

The whole point is that life is one big unbroken chain going back to some first cell (and at that point what is "life" gets complicated).

Rather the whole thing is about a "human life", as in when do we decide that this ball of cells is a separate individual deserving of the protection we give "people". And that is almost completely arbitrary, and science can offer no input on this at all.

Why is a fertilized egg a person? Why are the skin cells that have scraped off on your keyboard not a person deserving protection? If you start chopping bits of a person off (I am not recommending this), is the severed limb not a person? If you could chop off the head and keep both that and the body alive, would those be two people? Or would only the head count as a person?

Yes, I know you got the joke. Nobody would have posted that if they thought I was being serious. It says nothing and doesn't make any sense with respect to the discussion that was in place before the dumb jokes started. That is why I continued to joke with you.

I would have loved to talk about the original subject in sincerity – I maintain it is an interesting question – but nobody else wanted to. Not even you. Oh well. Such is life.
If we were still on Next.JS 13, I would advise against it, that version saw the introduction of the "App router" which replaced the "Pages router", and as all new shiny things, it had a lot of warts and migration was painful.

Next.JS 14, which introduced server actions, is really worth it though.

But, IMHO, the main advantage of Next.JS is Vercel. You get a free platform to deploy your app just by "pointing it to your git repository". I've used it with Prisma and MongoDB (with a MongoDB Atlas free instance), so I have deployed my app completely, free of charge. Which for proof of concepts is a great thing.

Wok is impossible on electric.

One technique to recover lost heating control though is to place the pot partially on the element. You need a flat top electric and high quality cookware for that, but it works in a pinch
The person you were replying to and the article you posted both make a point you're not addressing:

>Critics allege that the most important subsidies to the nuclear industry have not involved cash payments, but rather the shifting of construction costs and operating risks from investors to taxpayers and ratepayers, burdening them with an array of risks including cost overruns, defaults to accidents, and nuclear waste management. Critics claim that this approach distorts market choices, which they believe would otherwise favor less risky energy investments.[15]
This video from Huygen’s Optics features an interview with an engineer at the Dutch company ASML, who manufactures the imaging equipment used in silicon die production. It explores just how difficult it is to achieve the nanometer scale resolution that enables our modern technology. Absolutely stunning animations are employed to illustrate the effects of light wave diffraction, and it gets quite detailed while remaining accessible and engaging.
An electric heat pump by nature has a lot more parts.

A gas furnace is just a few sensors, a burner, a fan, and a box to do it in.

This ridiculous outraged tone describing how a company makes money with an open source project. If you like open source, shouldn't you be glad that companies are able to make money with it?
I’m not sure this is the blanket case. Hot air balloons, for example, get right-of-way regardless, on the assumption they have less maneuverability. Weird edge case, I know, but just throwing it out there to underscore the danger of absolute statements.
I have to agree with this sentiment, I read it here on HN 'power' users more than once. Although most Apple users have no clue about what we discuss here, the part about actively wanting it is simply not true en masse.

Needless to say that's not for me and I will probably keep sporting Androids (in my case I am happy with Samsung's top ultra offerings) since I actually use those added features, ie saving 500 bucks on proper expensive variometer for paragliding and instead hooking it up via OTG cable with basic one with good sensor but without display, for 10% of the price... needless to say relevant app isn't on play store neither. And so on.

But we certainly have choice on the market. I just wish Apple would properly focus on user security and shielding them from the worst of internet, and less on milking advertising, what I see so far didn't convince me it isn't just sophisticated marketing and not much more. You already pay premium on the device, its a proper spit in the face to be so visibly milked more and more, thats pure corporate greed.

What I mean - my wife with iphone pops up browser, I pop up mine with firefox and ublock origin. Internet is utterly useless and horrible place on her phone, while completely fine on mine (plus I get youtube ads blocking as a bonus)
Is it a remote push? Or is it that the MBP "phones home" on first boot, and gets the signal that it belongs to the Expedia MDM group?

Naturally, that's not great either, but it's not quite the same kind of "not great".

SiriusXM is a holding company that operates many products, some of which are sold in Europe, and in California, so as a company they are beholden to both GDPR and CCPA.
Batteries replace peakers. And we are building lots of batteries. Peakers already cannot compete against batteries when they are both paid to charge when there is excess power on the grid, and paid again to discharge, not to mention grid services (frequency response, grid stability, etc). Batteries can already be recycled in recycling supply chains that have been stood up (Redwood Materials, for example). Humorously, batteries are lasting so long in EV applications that the supply chain is ready with very little EOL batteries to process.

The text seemed nicely broken up by the headings already, but maybe adding some syntax-colored code snippets (where relevant) would be another way to add some color to the visuals.
I suspect this is the case, but have no hard evidence. I can see how being proficient at vim makes it feel gamified though - a clever series of commands resulting in a code change giving people that hit of dopamine.
Not being able to scale to zero doesn't mean you can't scale at all. France fulfills essentially all their dynamic demand with nuclear.
Because that single application already exists, in my case its postgres.

Pgweb is one of my interfaces, admin dashboard for free, and I am sure the changes I make there are as valid as changes through any other interface.

I can implement a website as a SSR app that talks directly to the db. Maybe tomorrow I decide I need to work on a web scraper that will use python, instead of adding more API endpoints to allow the scraper to talk to the database, I just talk to the database...

The database is that "single appplication", no need to write custom endpoints for every operation when SQL is good enough.

It's all a spectrum of course, today you can even go as far as to use something like pg_graphql and you don't even need to write a REST api yourself.

Edit: I forgot to answer the last section, but postgres can totally handle autorization with RLS for instance, allowing users to only see their own data, or maybe data marked as public, etc.
There are plenty of counter examples. It’s simply a fact that your application can be faster without foreign keys.
Cheap operating costs are especially true for new builds. It’s just that capital costs are huge (but these are still separate from operating costs).
One other one: you work in an environment where that is required for some reason. I’ve known people who got certs because their company contracted for a client who paid more or required some fraction of the staff to be certified. If you work in that kind of area, not leaving money on the table is certainly understandable.

The cost of school is fairly minor in the reason's not to become a doctor. It's the massive increase in administration overhead that has reduced a doctor's time spent treating patients and practicing medicine significantly. EMR systems are slow compared to paper/dictation from a doctor's perspective, they also produce extremely verbose reports, so more time is spent sifting through records to find the useful bits. Doctor's need to perform X task that is often irrelevant to qualify for increased reimbursement from Medicare. Doctors have to justify why they prescribed X medication with prior auths and appeals just to get a patient the help they need. The additional scrutiny on opioid medications forces people to come in more often even if they've been compliant and successfully managed for years. Doctors that serve the neediest patient populations get rewarded with the most expensive malpractice insurance, because poor people are far more litigious than average, and often get paid less as Medicaid has some of the lowest reimbursement levels.
Maybe it's useful for some of the shared logic outside of the exploit (like detecting if copied text is a wallet address)
Nuclear power costs about as much to run 24/7 as it does to run intermittently, because the vast majority of its cost is in construction. So building enough nuclear power to satisfy demand when intermittent sources aren't producing makes those intermittent sources totally redundant.

Sweet, they open sourced their iMessage connector. I was shocked to see that Apple is using Hashcash in their oauth header! (I see now hashcash.js when I login on the website too).

Performance and usability issues in Salesforce Lightning Web Components
Large scale MySQL databases I've worked on typically do not use foreign keys. The payoff is higher write performance. They're implicit based on table/column naming and relationships defined in code, e.g. Rails associations or process/operation classes.

With a certain level of team maturity and thoughtful reviews, this has rarely been an issue. Sometimes there are orphaned rows (from incomplete/buggy writes) which also have clean-ups that tend to have jobs for pruning data that has gone 'out of the retention window'.
because everyone thinks they're above average. If you're only better than the below average drivers, then everyone will think they're better off driving themselves even if that's not true.

My spouse loves the Sirius junk mail. More paper to shred and feed to the vworms in our compost bin.
It might surprise you but a lot of people want that and buy apple specifically because of that. I would even go so far as to say it is a major competitive advantage.

For those times when you’re driving in the middle of nowhere, and your ‘52 Studebaker can’t pull in any AM radio stations. Otherwise, since the advent of smartphones, I have no idea how Sirius stays in business. Live sports, I guess.

I’ve had satellite radio, and when I think of SiriusXm, at the front of my mind is what a pain in the ass it is to cancel. We bought a new car this year, and I didn’t even activate the free trial because I didn’t want the hassle of canceling later. Think about that: the UX is so bad, there are customers that won’t even use it if you give it to them.
As someone who is a midelevel vimmer and has been using it for 20 years, that's probably true. But the muscle memory is there, and it's standard everywhere. I do get a lot of leverage out of macros and text objects, features which I'm sure have equivalents in IDEs and other editors, but I know how to use them in vim.
So what’re they gonna name it this time? Altera? Hope they kept the original documentations.
The mobile platforms really need to provide an API like "the radio is now on, please do your thing", so all apps can coordinate when they're active, and save battery.

In North America residential electric is 240V across both hot lines or 120V hot to neutral. Most normal power outlets in homes are 120V but any large electric appliance like a stove or clothes dryer will use 240V.

So built-in stoves or cooktops will take 240V but a portable single burner induction cooktop would likely only use 120V.
Which makes the whole equation very interesting. Here in Sweden the electricity spot price is often zero or even negative when it’s windy. So what’s the point of more “cheap” kWhs at those times?

I think we should just stop doing these $/kWh calculations and instead compare various production (and storage) mixes that can actually meet demand.
