What the "production and logistics for" for coal need? I used to live near a coal power plant, there were several long trains per hour of coal going to that plant. Now I live near a wind farm, and while in construction it had a few semis per hour - maybe as much as trains to the coal plant - but that wind farm is complete and will run for a few more decades with very little traffic, while the coal power plant had that many trains per day every day for all the time it was in operation. (it is now shut down)

Gary doesn't sound to happy.

This time, the green light proved real, with Gary Gensler posting his own statement to the SEC’s website warning that the agency’s approval of the ETF is not a signal that it will approve the listing of other crypto asset securities.

“As I’ve said in the past, and without prejudging any one crypto asset, the vast majority of crypto assets are investment contracts and thus subject to the federal securities laws,” Gensler wrote, adding that the approval was not an endorsement of Bitcoin.
As I said in another reply, I don't remember them having trouble hiring in the first place?

I can certainly mostly agree with this. I just also think them producing their own shows was likely more impactful, and had basically nothing to do with this.

Don't get me wrong, plenty of moves in life are "win more." Such that I could see this one fitting that description. But a lot of "win more" choices are surprisingly low on the ROI side, when you control for everything else in that situation.

Your example itself shows why you would not want to do this. The database still has to read through all the rows up to the OFFSET point...

You are not supposed to do the same query patterns. My argument is that you can substitute your relational database, by changing the app and the layout of the data to match the proper patterns for DynamoDB.

I recently migrated a complex cross platform C99 embedded project to C++17. We got the build systems ported in a day and are able to chip away at it piece by piece.

We looked at Rust but the main issue wasn't technical it was the large learning curve for the team. Rust is not as intuitive to C developers are C++ is.

I have a theory that jam bands appear more popular than they actually are, because they seem to have a higher percentage of fans willing to follow them around on tour. (Assuming a metric of popularity where selling Bob 3 tickets means less than selling Alice, Bob, and Charlie 1 ticket apiece.) In this Phish example, I'd wager that the percentage of attendees who went to all 4 shows is unusually high, compared to what a band from other genres might get.

Not to discount the achievement of selling out MSG in the first place, by the way. Phish bores me to tears (to the fans: yes, even live in person) but I can't deny that plenty of people go nuts for them.
Exactly. Give me proper filters in the search tool, I'll find my own movies.
Eh, so there are a number of oddities with your statements here that don't reflect the reality of what actually happened.

> I don't think we should have the state banning all of these things.

The issue here on your part is one of understanding hard power versus soft power. Looking at TV from a holistic perspective, the state has banned a lot of what we'd consider harmful behavior. Over the air programming is relatively tame, and content we consider harmful is more gated and behind paywalls.

For the average video game the condition is the same. You have Sony and Microsoft gating the consoles. You have steam gating much of the PC world, and outside of that you have the credit card companies gating making money of more controversial items.

An area we have the opposite problem is the one of junk food. This entire just self regulate while companies reap record profits selling you purposefully addictive food is working out "fucking great"... for the companies that is, of course for the ever increasing burden of obesity on the country, things aren't going so well.

Waiting for "maybe I will this year" will only cause you mental anguish

The problem there is the 'waiting' bit. If you expect other people to see your impact and reward it you won't get it. You need to advocate for yourself. Make sure you're talking directly to stakeholders and leaders in your org. Post about things you've worked on in company channels. Update everyone when you hit goals and milestones. Celebrate your wins.

If nothing else this makes work more fun.

As someone who works in search relevance, having just a great algorithm isn't worth much.

You need all the team and know-how that has the maturity to maintain such an algorithm. Not just the ML skills. But all the bazillion ops, data quality, and many other things that go around it.

I've worked with a lot of teams that have one smart person building stuff off to the side, in R or a Notebook, and then nobody knows how to productionize it. They try to throw the algorithm over the fence. Even if the team somehow succeeds in getting it into an A/B test, it eventually falls by the wayside, unless they can build the team and workflow around that person / algorithm / methodology
I think this is the huge part - letting retirement accounts dabble in crypto.

For those young enough (or foolish enough) to operate a high-risk/high-growth retirement portfolio, holding crypto can be a large boon. Just the past 365 days of BTC has 162% increase in value.

Kernels have not changed that much. Android devices use the Linux kernel which is a similar age. Apple uses the XNU kernel which is only a few years younger.

That's especially true since I've noticed stuff max yanked has popped up on netflix.

If netflix wants to lean in even further, they should pick up rights to produce additional seasons of most of the stuff Warner Brothers Discovery cancelled last year (they're the parent company of HBO and have subpar management, even by Hollywood exec standards).

I find it interesting that places like Iowa, Texas, and Kansas are leading the transition in the US despite none being places anything thinks associated with environmentalism. While states you might expect to care are way behind. Hawaii has had expensive energy all along and was an early installer of wind, but somehow is still way behind.
You do manage the state of your database. When you do an UPDATE, you explicitly change the state.

The statefulness of an index, however, is merely an implementation detail. A database without indices would be in the same state, and behave the same (except much slower). This means that the state is not important for the semantics of the datastore, unlike with a regular database.

Children's names are restricted in many countries (including my own, New Zealand):

Parents are limited to choosing children's names from the Personal Names Register, which as of 2013 approved 1800 names for each gender. Since 2019 given names are no longer restricted by gender. The Icelandic Naming Committee maintains the list and hears requests for exceptions.

New Zealand: Below is a list of banned names in New Zealand:* [Asterisk], 4Real, 89, Anal, Bishop, Constable, H-Q, II, III, Justice, Justus, Knight, Lucifer, Mafia No Fear, Minister, Mr, Queen Victoria, Royale, Saint, Sex Fruit, Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii. Note I suspect * is special because I think it is a is placeholder in the Dept.

1. Extremely high duty cycle 100 gigawatt laser. (edit: now apparently it's an "array" because someone with a brain mentioned that a 100 gigawatt laser is ludicrous) That's right 7 peak summer output Grand Coulee Dams and 12 Palo Verde nuclear power plants with all reactors operating simultaneously COMBINED would be needed to power this laser.

You've got people like Project Farm over on YT. He does really good, rigourous stuff. He did a test on wiper blades where tested them new, then left them on the roof of his house in the sun for a full year, and then did all the tests again. He also rarely states firm conclusions, just presents objective data. The only real exception is when one, or a few products standout as either exceptionally good (especially when they're NOT the most expensive) or they do so poorly as to be totally unfit for purpose or even unsafe.

The products he reviews tend to be sort of workshop oriented (tools - from basic open end wrenches up to fairly capable welders and chainsaws, lubricants, that kind of thing), but he's also done a fair bit of automotive stuff, jeans, gloves, and things like that.'

For the jeans, he tested stuff like puncture force (with a nail), abrasion resistance, belt loop strength, and breathability. He also commented on but did not score fit and comfort.
Netflix obviously since enjoyed a period of success. You may need to reconcile that with your overly negative portrayal of the situation which honestly seems more about your personal feelings about Netflix rather than more objective measures of success.
Running the math suggests 0.1 mW. Which... the specs of many uCs I play with can theoretically drop down to 100uA or less of current (especially if I have capacitors to store energy while the uC sleeps).

But ugggh. This won't be easy to design around. A lot of capacitors will give you 10uA of leakage already. Assuming 3V uCs, that'd be 30uW of precious energy just in leakage current.

I think most people would rather use a AA battery. Is it really that big of a deal to replace the AA batteries every 10 years?

That's not quite as outlandish as it sounds, given that they're very small, 15x15x5mm

And of course, this is an early gen product, not ridiculous to assume they'd be able to make these smaller, and with higher output, in the future, so we very well might get there in time.

Ask HN: How to turn AWS credits into real $$$?
I won a few hackathons recently and received $100k+ worth of AWS, Azure, and GCP credits. This is cool, but I'm currently unemployed and could use some cash right now.

There are some restrictions:

* You cannot transfer credits nor put them on an organization -> all instances have to be created by one user

* There are restrictions on crypto mining

* The credits are only valid for 1 year

Some ideas I've considered so far

* Creating a wrapper around all the LLM APIs (e.g. GPT-4, Claude, LlaMa2) and selling it at a large discount

* Reaching out to small startups to offload some of their AWS bill

* Create a white-glove service for deploying their stuff

Does anyone have a better idea?

Thinking whether they could use one of the projects aiming to launch small payloads into space, sort of space trebuchets:

SpinLaunch - Developing a system that spins a payload at ultra-high speeds inside a vacuum chamber, then launches it into the sky using stored rotational energy. They claim it could launch small satellites for a fraction of the cost of traditional rockets.

Launchloop - Proposed concept of using a powerful electromagnetic accelerator called a Launchloop to fling payloads into space. It would use low-cost electricity rather than expensive rocket fuel. Still in early feasibility stage.

TAES - Developing a space trebuchet mechanism that uses centrifugal force similar to how a trebuchet launches projectiles. They're aiming to launch 6U CubeSats (10x10x30cm) to Low Earth Orbit for a relatively low cost per launch.

Rocket Lab - Makes small Electron rockets for launching 150kg payloads to LEO. Over 20 successful launches to date and helping enable more frequent smallsat launches.

Virgin Orbit - Uses a modified Boeing 747 to carry a 2-stage LauncherOne rocket to altitude, then releases and ignites to place payloads in orbit. Aims for frequent, affordable smallsat launches.
