> Zuck-level money wouldn't matter in a situation where a bunker is needed

We're entertaining actions the rich take in preparation for a societal meltdown: build a bunker vs build a community. They take them now (hence the article).

Starting to build a bunker (or a community) in a post-apo world would indeed be a little too late for Mr. Zuckerberg & co.

> A really serious plan would be to stockpile goods/food/a means of production

You need loyal people first and foremost. Leadership and trust. Otherwise disloyal people (historically, your own guards / companions) take whatever you've stockpiled. Yours is that Grade B strategy I was talking about.

Your "goods/food/a means of production" are only useful insofar other powers uphold the overarching social structures & rules. To the extent that premise is fulfilled, I'd call such meltdown only a minor temporary hiccup. Beyond that, your stockpile and remote fortress is not much use. You need loyal people.

it all boils down to this: does more time make people offend less? does simply adding more time reduce recidivism rates? no, it does not.

"In 2015, for example, an analysis by Swiss researchers looked at 14 studies that compared what happened when criminals were put behind bars to what happened when they were given some other sentence, such as probation or electronic monitoring, that allowed them to stay out of jail or prison. The researchers found that crime rates were just as high for people who’d spent time behind bars as for those who hadn’t."
My parents have a 3-floor townhouse and it's far, far more practical than the goofy sprawling "open floorplan" designs. Plus not having neighbors above/below you is a great tradeoff. I don't think this is as impractical as it would appear to someone not living in one (that's been my experience at least).
It would be better to teach readers that when scientists say a thing is so, it’s always prefaced with “to our current understanding…”

That saves an enormous load of weasel words, while also helping people understand what science actually is.

Edit:

Your comment rubbed me the wrong way, and I think I know why. It presumes people are too dumb to learn how to read things, but they’re not. Fantasy novels don’t preface every sentence like “in this fictional universe, Frodo handed the ring to Samwise. And then, for pretend, let’s say they ate some breakfast.” Readers would loathe that. Yes, we know this is all made-up. It’s a fictional work. It’s implicit in the name.

Well, science works are no different. “Science” implies “current understanding”. That’s fundamental to it. If we discover a better theory of something tomorrow, we’ll adopt future textbooks to describe that as our new model of that thing. You don’t need to weasel every sentence with “today, we think that…” because it’s implicit in the fact that it’s science writing, just like “it didn’t really happen” is implicit in fiction, and “as far as we know…” is implicit in a newspaper. Rather than “fix” those genres, we should educate people on how to read them.
> The biggest issues for getting from 10% to ~50% are communication, price, and availability.

I would simplify this down to just price. Price is a signaling mechanism in the market, which takes care of both communication and availability.

Nobody would need to communicate the virtues of an EV if it's priced like a Toyota Corolla with sufficient range.
We need something that is more resilient than BluRay in long term but cheaper, much larger capacity and smaller.

Though that just kicks the can. We sell support contracts so everyone does a bunch of bug fixing as a matter of course, and that doesn't even get called maintenance internally. "Maintenance" is the refactoring or other tech debt quashing that the devs always want to do but which mostly isn't a priority.

My observation: Most medical professionals were trained in the "exercise is a unequivocal good" mentality - If you can't do it, just work harder and the work will eventually pay off.

The problem with CFS/ME/LongCovid is that exercise dosage needs to be controlled carefully. More like a drug where overdosing can cause debilitating side effects and a regression in primary symptoms. If doctors treated rx drug side effects this way ("ah you're fine, just keep taking the pills, pop as many as you can.") they'd be doing severe harm.

I had windows like those. The glued cross shaped frame was not actually glued and it was on both sides. It looked beautiful but it was a nightmare to clean. Four small glasses instead of a large one. It was wood, single layer glass. I replaced them with something that reduced the heat flow.
One of the solutions floated to the nursing shortage around here was to build housing owned by the hospital. Sounds great, strike and risk losing your job AND house when there is no housing availability.
Yeah, this is not precisely a "CS fact", but "you will git-blame a piece of shitty code and find a N-year old commit with your own name on it" is probably an unintuitive fact of programming that you only get to experience when you have a couple solid years under your belt.
Its easy.

Hide valuables like medicine or food in not too dinstant remote locations that only u know along with few months of buffer in the bunker. U announce next portion as soon as one is empty. Keep the locations encrypted and maybe connected to your life signal.

Keep up the poison pill just for case that there is an irrational plan of torture to get that info.

Mhmm... I am really good at this. Maybe I should make a bunker.
Yep, make sure to install a $50k solar system in your 3 million dollar SFH, then they’re super cost effective, and for everyone!!

I’d say my used 2016 X with free supercharging was a good deal but in the year I’ve owned it I spent $2k on repairs for things like the drivers window falling down and the f**ing wing door failing to register as locked and beeping incessantly while driving.

That’s not to mention the horrible ride quality, 10k depreciation and the $3k aftermarket fix for halfshaft and tire wear problems.

But at least I can fry the battery for free.

"The Gaza flotilla raid was a military operation by Israel against six civilian ships of the "Gaza Freedom Flotilla" on 31 May 2010 in international waters in the Mediterranean Sea. Nine activists were killed during the raid and dozens wounded, including one who later died of his wounds, while ten Israeli soldiers were wounded, one seriously. Three of the six flotilla ships, organized by the Free Gaza Movement and the Turkish Foundation for Human Rights and Freedoms and Humanitarian Relief (İHH), were carrying humanitarian aid and construction materials, intending to break the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip."
I’ve been trying to figure out how to do this with my phone when traveling but it’s hard to find a good quality keyboard that is small enough and reasonable quality, while also being worth the additional hassle compared to a folding keyboard. One “least worst” possibility might be using low profile Cherry MX style switches and keys for a small and light 60% keyboard that has a USB cable and slot for the phone to sit in.

I haven’t used the pine phone and its keyboard but I’d love it if such an option was available for iPhones and run of the mill android phones.
What's the use-case here? That's the biggest optoisolator I've ever heard of.

Someone out there wants a lot of power pushed through electrically isolated islands. Normally, you'd have power on both sides but just send a signal (lower-power light + sensor to detect the light). It seems odd to use this technique to transmit power (Albeit a small 0.5W worth of power or so, but that's enough to run most microcontrollers and even some microprocessors).

My guess is some kind of optoisolator situation except you weren't allowed to run power on the other side for some strange reason. But I'm having difficulty thinking of a practical application where these requirements pop up.
THINK Pascal and the THINK Reference was fantastic – instant compilation times, live debugging with one of the best symbolic debuggers I've ever used (complete with live statement and expression evaluation), concise and organized documentation of the Toolbox at your fingertips, complete with examples. The equal of Turbo Pascal on the Macintosh.

The Macintosh Toolbox had, early on, a reputation for being a little bewildering with a lot of new system libraries to handle (memory management, resource management, UI/TextEdit, DIY event dispatching... it seems strange to explain to people how we would have to manually detect menu events based on location, and then manually respond to menu events), but THINK Pascal gave you a lot of courage.
And then on your drive back, you're also low on charge, and then have to stop for 10 minutes.

The range concerns are overblown, I don't think it's fair to say that EVs have less hassle than a gas car
Again, this doesn't mean consumers will actually get cheaper batteries. Musk himself was promising $5k-$7k battery replacement, yet we saw a price increase.

If we reached Musk's promised numbers then battery replacement would no longer be an issue for me, but when we are talking $15k-$20k then something like a model 3 is scrap for me at 100k+ miles.

Somebody check my facts here, but isn't the NACS/Tesla charging standard just CCS with a different plug? Shouldn't the CCS-to-NACS adapters available today work seamlessly both now and in the future? Am I missing something here?
It's not disingenuous at all, in fact I think your argument (that I hear over and over again) is misleading or missing the point completely.

Sure, if you need to charge exactly when your family gets hungry or tired and you happen to be exactly at a Supercharger, and the restaurant is exactly the kind of restaurant you like, it's not worse (but not better either) than traditional cars. If any of those conditions are not met, it's now an inconvenience charging your car.

In my experience (Europe), you can't really drive longer than 10 minutes without passing by a petrol station, and you can put gas in your car, pay, and leave easily under five minutes. Then, if everyone in the car feels like it, you can drive again for hours. If someone wants to eat, you can look up which restaurant you want to go to, and stop there. Eat your sandwiches at the top of the mountain while the sun is shining! Or pick anything else you want, Thai, local, Burger King, or get some snacks at a supermarket. ! I can decide which restaurant I go to or where I take my 30 min break, and it is not decided for me by the charger network.
Just charge the car immediately before getting to their house? You can leave 20min earlier to adjust for that.

Well, I didn't know they did that. They'd have to use a packet filter to do that; in the normal case, I send my UDP query to the authoritative server via its IP address, and if my ISP doesn't forward the query, then it's not providing internet service, it's simulating it. My resolver respects DNS signing, so I think I'd get errors rightaway if my ISP tried to substitute a forged answer.

My (niche) ISP is rather benevolent; as far as I'm aware they don't block at all, and they brag about providing "real internet service". At any rate, I'm not aware that my recursive resolver has ever encountered an answer that was forged by my ISP.
But, my company does employ thousands of software people. We just don't sell consulting, sell software to other people, or sell products that use software.

Your shoes and clothes don't have a software component (well, most don't), but in most producers, software enables their production.

In my experience jokes usually do well on HN. Memes and catchphrases don't. That's the main difference. Once something becomes a meme it's not actually funny anymore, but you'll still get upvoted for it on a place like Reddit because you're signalling that you're part of the "in" group.
And (no joke) the word Cobalt comes from the belief that Kobolds were defending Saxon silver mines with toxic minerals. We've known for a long time that Cobalt compounds are pretty toxic to miners.

My assessment is that it is because the science itself has devolved quite a bit. I'm just a greybeard sysadmin type who happened to be taught by a world-class geneticist how to read papers and turn them into implemented solutions, (I managed the data flow of every major sequencer type, we had at least one of each) during the sequencing boom in 2013. So that is the caveat to take my non-phd view with a grain of salt, but:

He showed me how researchers were padding their publication resumes in various ways, often with really bad research, which we considered anything that wasn't reproducible. The journals have too much corruption and money sloshing around and are no longer a very good indicator, and one really has to do the work of meta-analysis themselves was my takeaway. The number one indicator to me of this for a researcher is when they talk about how many times they've been published, one of the metrics that they pad the most.

Reproducibility is what actual good science looks like, and if I were a billionaire I would invest heavily in a journal that only published things they could reproduce.

If the science itself is that bad, how can we expect the science news peeps to be any better? Upstream cause-and-effect.
This does not seem practical.

1) Checked baggage in the baggage compartment is packed more efficiently than storing in the overhead compartment because the greater volume makes it easier to fill holes.

2) Larger planes save money by loading checked luggage into containers, and loading the entire container in one go.

3) Only small bags can be stored overhead, so this scheme requires different handling for small and large bags, which is more expensive.

4) Using carry-on baggage compartments means baggage handling staff must be in the passenger cabin to load and unload. They will likely block passengers and increase loading time, which costs money. If the baggage is loaded before passengers board, then the ground time and therefore operational costs increase because currently the baggage is loaded in parallel to passenger boarding.

5) It increases passenger dissatisfaction to have their carry-on luggage further away, which encourages people to switch to another carrier.

6) How much extra space do you think there is? I've been on many flights where people had to gate-check their luggage because the cabin ran out of space. Think of the cost if 20 bags had to be gate-checked into the baggage hold because 20 bags had been moved to the carry-on section. (And airlines don't know precisely how much carry-on baggage there will be, because people can buy things after check-in.)
the supply of used cars isn't what it used to be post-covid. Some people end up leasing a new car simply because their used car search was extremely slim pickings.
I'm sorry I was with you until you started talking about safety? Gas cars are not inherently unsafe. Yes, a lot of EVs have very high crash safety ratings but I'd be willing to bet a volvo is safer overall even if tesla has managed to game some scores. I will admit that evs typically have a much lower rollover risk, but frankly stability control will not let you drive a car beyond it's limits. Even a hulking SUV is pretty hard to rollover these days.

Awesome. My wireless bill is too high and competition never hurt. I would think satellites are way cheaper than setting up ground based towers and therefore will offer cheaper service.
I like traditional houses very much, but there are two things you to consider: cost and regulations.

When you pay a fortune for the land and building materials you can't really build something nice.

When you have to comply with a million regulations, costs go even higher if you want an individualized house. If you keep it blocky and without decorations you can keep it affordable.

You would never get permission to build the Parthenon because it's simply not energy efficient.

Personally I think you should be able to build your own house without regulations, but not to sell it (i.e. you have to demolish it to sell the land). It's the perfect compromise between safety and freedom.
