I dug deeper and the subsidies I'm talking about were announced in 2021 and Tesla created the standard in November 2022 : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Charging_Standa...

Those are the interesting parts

>As part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law passed in 2021, the US Government announced it would offer $7.5 billion in federal subsidies to build out a nationwide network of fast chargers at least every 50 miles along America’s major roads. One requirement to access the funding was that the chargers must be accessible by multiple brands of electric cars.

> In May 2023, the Ford Motor Company became the first large automaker to announce that it would use NACS with their electric vehicles.[19] Starting in 2025, new Ford electric vehicles will have native NACS charge ports and prior electric Ford models will be able to connect to NACS chargers by use of a NACS to CCS1 adapter.

>From June 2023 through January 2024, automakers BMW Group, Fisker, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai Motor Group, Jaguar Land Rover, Lucid Motors, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Polestar, Rivian, Subaru, Toyota, Volvo Cars, and Volkswagen Group all announced that they would equip their electric vehicles sold in the North American market with NACS charge ports from the factory starting in 2025, with adapters available for existing vehicles.[27][28][29] As of January 2024, Mitsubishi Motors and Stellantis, are the only legacy automakers who have not announced that they will adopt NACS.[30]

To me, this seems like the connector war is finished.
Can you look at it and explain why you think employment leads to recessions?

Uninstall everything then use a venv for each project.
this seems like a cool device that people actually like, but it's crazy that i've still never seen a blog post of "hey check out this cool thing i did" that just happens to use a flipper. it's always the other way around, the point is to have a flipper and find things to do with it, not to have a flipper because it does something you want.

i buy lots of nerdy toys, but can we all just admit that this is a toy, not a tool?
Yeah, PenPot (mentioned in the comments below), seems to have chosen SVG as their choice of rendering.
But, looking at a few customer reviews - the performance issue seems to be noticable with the SVG approach (zooms are not clean, and more than 20 screens it starts feeling slow).

Wasm seems appropriate. Why Go, instead of Rust ?
I don't think there's any case in which I see it pull back anywhere remotely close to 40%, short of societal collapse. Way too many factors that keep demand high and supply low.
tldr; in 2007 Renaissance came the closest to failing in its history. Simons overrode his trading models to stave off possible insolvency.
That’s a relatively inexpensive choice, nicely suited to the job. Could have gone with a h6d-400ms for a bit more resolution ;)
Nothing is lost in git without great effort. Deleting a branch is simply removing the label from the history. Just take note of the hash of the latest commit on the "deleted" branch. It'll still be there and can be checked out in detached-head mode.

Today I made a mobile browser game where you control the player by tilting your phone left and right. Please give it a try! Thank you.
In the end, it's all the same: humans like to think they are better: "I am better because I believe in progress", "I am better because I believe in God", "I am better because I am different", "I am better because I want to be left alone".
A world with 8 billion people cannot be managed like a world with even 1 billion.
As the world gets more automated, abstract, and focused on money, management of society has to evolve. Or we need to stop progress.
I was amazed to realise that in the US they can have multiple decade long fixed mortgages. Do they also have the ability to refinance long term to a lower rate if it becomes available?

In Australia, we have fixed and variable with all fixed rates being locked for only a number of years. So you are always going to have the bear increases in mortgage rates if they occur.

>do you expect the 40% price hike during Covid to become permanent?

Definitely. US real estate is literally the best investment real estate in the entire world, and it's availabile to the entire world. Prices definitely won't be going down.

Edit: This comment has nothing to do with whether or not the US is a desirable place to live. The value of US real estate is tremendous simply because the US dollar is the hegemonic international currency and the US holds the only meaningful military power in the west. And finally, one does not have to live in a property to invest in it.
I wonder if we could use temperature, pressure, and currents to devise a plan to capture helium leaked into our atmosphere before it reaches space?
I don't listen to Taylor Swift at all, but even I've heard of "Shake it off". Is your comment about your memory or about her mindshare among non-fans?
I feel like those are the kinds of devices that never get manufacturer updates anyway. And even if they did, the manufacturer likely is no longer supporting them.

Sure, it's nice to be able to tinker and hack to see if you can upgrade them yourselves, but is it worth maintaining architecture support for that kind of use case? Not asserting that is definitely not, but I think it's worth considering.
The higher levels of the stack, be it hardware or software, need to make sure that never happens.

That’s how GPUs are doing that. Each thread group can use a limited amount of SRAM, programs declare in advance how many bytes they need. Then in runtime the scheduler who dispatches tasks to cores enforces that limit by never dispatching too many thread groups on each core.
At the very worse case (NAT hell or something else) they may use a DERP relay. But if you have a cooperative connection or plain local connection it works fine.

There's encryption overhead though, I can't saturate a 1Gbps over Tailscale on M1, while direct connection works (iperf3).
I assume the case is 3D printed? Would you mind sharing the template file?

>Do they also have the ability to refinance long term to a lower rate if it becomes available?

Yes. You can also borrow against whatever equity you have in your house. Say you bought a house for $200 and it's now worth $250, you can borrow against part of that $50K equity if you refinance, for example if you need a new roof. I don't think you can borrow 100% of your equity though, I seem to remember 80%. It's been a while since I've done it.
Centcom Status Update on Missing Navy SEALs
Have you done benchmarks against other competitors? I ask because twenty years ago I used to work for Green Hills' compiler team, and we were very proud of our optimizer at the time (versus both gcc and wind river). That said, I worked on mips and various other chips, not ppc or arm.
An organization that cared more about inclusivity than compliance would have done more.
It would be so interesting to try to build an organization that tries & works to discern, rather than leaving everyone to fend for themselves & playing the game.

There's various systems of 360 review, but they seem to silently boil out into a discussion between manager and employee. To actually combat "the game", we need both a real attempt at direct & honest assessment first, and we need to radiate out the findings, share awareness & impact second. As we do it, the structure of the org is still implicit, game-bases: we need to make it clear what these witnesses & testimonies have sussed, share our understanding of things are seem now.

Actual decision making power needs to be vested in people based on the results. These reviews to serve the corporate need to assess never seem to come around & reify the findings: they're left a mystery to employees and power remains a structureless tyranny, to forever be interpreted by game players as they may.

Down with the game players. Do good shit instead. (Empower interesting people, even if they don't play the game.)
Show HN: Finagg – free and nearly unlimited financial data
finagg is a Python package and CLI that enables you to aggregate and update free financial data from a handful of high quality data sources all within your own SQL database.

Here're some quick facts about it:

- Implements nearly all of the BEA API, FRED API, and SEC EDGAR APIs (all of which have free and nearly unlimited data access)

- Only focused on macrodata (no intraday data support)

- Provides methods for transforming data from these APIs into normalized features that're readily useable for analysis, strategy development, and AI/ML

- The most popular methods include getting historical price earnings ratios, getting historical price earnings ratios normalized across industries, and sorting companies by their industry-normalized price earnings ratios

- Python >= 3.10 only (you should upgrade anyways if you haven't ;)

I'm looking for feedback on the overall package and CLI designs. Also, I'd appreciate any recommendations for implementing other financial data sources that're free with no daily API limits.

Cheers!
Your chart shows that during the time where there's no recession, unemployment generally gradually declines, and then when a recession hits unemployment spikes very quickly, irrespective of what level it was at prior to the recession (this seems fairly obvious: the definition of recession is "significant decline in economic activity", which predictably correlates closely with reduced employment). Why do you think this should mean there will be an "imminent" recession? Just because unemployment is currently low?

Maybe if they spun up a new cluster with new hostnames it’d say that. It doesn’t.
After 2008, there's a 600,000 housing unit deficit. Also, an increase in corporate investors buying cash and waiving inspections.

The American dream will be rented not bought. You'll own nothing and be happy.
That's right. It's important to be able to reproduce released builds with minor patches, and branches are the right tool for that job. But resist the temptation to fix that CVE on the release branch and then upstream it, because then you're once again doing branch development, treating trunk like a garbage can.
Prices rose because of those rates, so not always the bargain it may have seemed.
Honestly I think this one is totally fair. I would even go further and say that property tax you pay on your house should be capped at what you're paying on the day you bought it. And even further we should just get rid of property taxes and collect it via income. We don't tax unrealized gains except for property and doubly because you can't just sell 20% of your house to pay the taxes.

Owning your home is meaningless if you can be priced out of it while just living there. Making people come up with money because they have an asset that can't be readily turned into money is silly when you can just tax money.
My understanding is that in Oregon, new construction property taxes are higher than on older units
yeah, I think I like your approach, but the multiplayer aspect seems to be a great add-on, as opposed to a must-have feature to get the product started.

Both Go and Rust, and wasm are new to me - so i'm wondering about whether one is superior to the other.

I think figma has a lot of feature, and penpot seems a great replica of it, but I'm not too sure if the SVG + Clojurescript is a great way to build it..

I'm really looking for the core figma feature set to build.
1. Ability to have a canvas with zooms / freedom to create elemnets
2. Components and instances, and tree structured layers
3. Autolayout + CSS options. Frames and Pages

I think with the above 3, there's a viable basic feature set that would get one off the ground.

I did try the figma plugin apis, to extend native figma capabilities - but there's a limit to things you can do with it and it's getting to a point where more investment in the figma plugin seems a bit wasteful
I get it at this sophisticated level as well. I'm surprised by how many don't
I think pandemic created a one in a lifetime structural change (remote work) that is going to take years/decades for supply to catch up with demand. I keep seeing YouTube analysts predicting a housing crash every year for several years in a row... I think they are missing that there are not as many 'local' jobs/wages anymore and a lot of the demand is from those remote/hybrid workers moving into areas that previously only had local jobs and thus housing remained more closely tied to those wages. That paradigm is now broken or forever changed. Instead of living in SF, people moved to Napa/Sonoma/Petaluma/Sacramento/Tahoe/Monterey/Santa Cruz, etc. so now housing prices have gone up in those places. Hopefully the housing/zoning laws that have been passed in California start to have an impact and we see more housing development, but I still think there are legal barriers that prevent that.
Nah, obviously she just likes wearing glasses that sit at a funny angle...
Yes, I think you see my point. Talking about normality in regard to human behavior is incredibly superficial. Normality in that sense is more like a mask that is put on, which the wearer is often unaware they are doing. We are herd animals, and trying to blend into the herd is a behavior many of us feel compelled to do (and can involve as much self-deception as it can deception of others).

In my experience, the normal distribution of people I have met are from families that have problems (some more severe than others), yet that is the last thing they would share. They feel compelled to be normal and present themselves as happy, normal families.
Any technology is fundamentally a labor replacing tool. Isn't that the whole point of "technology"?

Society will adapt. As it always has. Most Americans no longer work on farms or factories either.
There isn't a binary "memory safety" choice for a given language, but C is way off on the wrong end of realistically promoting the writing of memory safe code.
How is it crazy? How else could one reliably afford to buy a house? The main lesson of the 2008 housing crisis, as I saw it, was that adjustable-rate mortgages are untenable; I certainly would never sign up for one, because it leaves you too vulnerable.
HIPAA violation
The dude who probably had the most commits at our org was just chosen as the sacrificial lamb of the development team's share of cost cutting. Now I have no opinion of his work personally due to working separately and I generally thought highly of him as a person, but he was considered by some to be responsible for one of the most significant engineering f-ups in the history of the org. It is generally true that traumatic events resonate more deeply with people than positive ones. So you can quietly commit code all day everyday, but if your mistakes are more visible than your successes then you won't go far.

>>> Do they also have the ability to refinance long term to a lower rate if it becomes available?

Typically yes. There are mortgages that penalize you for paying them off early, but the conventional wisdom is to avoid those.

For our previous house, my family re-financed twice. In our present house, we got a 15 year mortgage, and paid it off early.
It was stopped and reversed in many cases. Out work went so ass backwards they called back people that were remote or partially remote prior to COVID

Anybody can diff the sources against upstream if they want to.

But also, how does that even mean anything? Bob submitted a patch to the mainline Linux kernel which Red Hat forked which Alice downloaded which Bob uploaded and now you're trusting Bob that the code is safe, which you were already doing anyway unless you were comparing the changes to the code yourself, which you can still do.
I never thought of that, and given that it was the average supermarket stevia, I think it's not even close to being natural.
Long term non-transferable mortgages are the home ownership equivalent of rent control. In both cases housing ends up being used suboptimally because moving is too expensive.
So, as a bit of an “anarcho-pragmatist” myself I found that the pandemic really challenged me in this regard. Ultimately, the conclusion I reached was that the ideal anarchist would mask up, stay home, and wash his or her f-ing hands, not because someone told them too, but because they had an ethical obligation to care for the weak and immunocompromised, but the state had no right to impose restrictions requiring this sort of thing or anything else. That’s tough I know, and practically presents challenges, but there’s a different between how things “are” and how they “ought” to be and the widespread terrible behavior during the pandemic was a result of poor education, selfishness, and bad manners. I tried to contextualize it with other “not necessarily illegal but rude” behavior.

Basically, “look Randy, it’s not illegal to scream racial slurs here on this public sidewalk, and the state doesn’t have the right to stop you, but you’re being an asshole and you should shut up.” We should all aspire to do the right thing, but not everyone is going to. I imagine 10-20% of any group is filled with jackasses, so trying to build society around those people neglects the other 80-90%.

It's not that employment itself leads to a recession, but that low unemployment has been a 100% accurate lagging indicator for recessions.
Good for these scientists, but…

First they have to make something that works in a whole cancer cell.

If they get that far, you then have to show it works in animals.

If it works in animals, you then have to do phase 1, phase 2, and phase 3 clinical studies in humans.

Things fail at all three steps along the line.

Even in the highly unlikely event that everything went right from here it’s likely at least a decade from any clinical application. The odds of this particular approach being the one that leads to the blockbuster drug are very small.

(Note: not an expert on medical science, but married to a medical scientist who works in the drug discovery pipeline).
Somebody downvoted that acknowledgment. Sad.
No idea but it did generate a reaction ... Is she a Hollywood spy/hacker? What system she breaking into? (Maybe it's the dark scene and backlighting :) )
Normally yes: in France we also have 30y fixed-rate mortgages (in fact, nobody sane would do variable: there's no upside except for the bank). If the rate gets way lower, you can pay the advance repayment fee and reborrow, so the banks directly just cut your rate, everyone does it. And if the rate goes up, the banks swallow the losses.

There have been discussions in parliament for decades about the prevalence of fixed rates and the cost it has for the banking sector, but it's nearly impossible now to change it. Banks simply have to make less money, and expand abroad if they want to do more predatory variable rates. The French philosophy is that banks should not speculate too much on mortgage profits and accept to make some but not optimal profit there. Suffice to say that our banks are struggling a little bit more than say British banks.
Ok, to clear things up, what they found was a rock, literally a rock down to the molecular level, that is perfectly shaped as a dinosaur embryo. It reveals some interesting similarities to birds and stuff and good for paleontology.

But none of this contain even a miniscule amount of meat or organic material or DNA of a dinosaur. Those already disintegrated aeons ago. DNA half life is around 500 years. After a million years, it would have degraded so bad you literally have nothing left to reconstruct no matter how much sample you discover.

If you start with an entire dinosaur, let say 10 tons, and let be generous and have 1% of that being DNA, you get 1e15 copies of the genome, assuming a 10Gb genome. After 25,000 years, you get less than 1 copy left. Now make it 25 millions years...

I know this "half-life" term is kind of a misnomer since unlike radioisotope where it is unaffected by environmental conditions, DNA "half-life" can be longer depending on things like temperature and pressure. But still, on the scale of millions of years, it becomes exceedingly improbable that we can find even 1 copy of a dinosaur genome left.
All true. Still need an initial attack vector and those are valuable.
My partner's instant pot also does toasting/air frying/normal cooking, I've been very impressed with it.
Taking compounded tirzepatide ($6000/yr for 15 mg/wk) and lost ~120 lbs. Ironically, sugar tastes a lot stronger, and food generally tastes better, but I don't want as much. Haven't seen any other changes or improvements.
Those countries don't have nearly as many 'criminals' so it's nowhere near as burdensome. Something like 25+% of Americans have some sort of criminal history, with a vast volume of laws that are easy to unwittingly break.

I don't have the data for someplace like Ghana but I wager the odds of having a record there is easily 1/10th.
Ah, I see. I read "ground station" as hardware on the ground on Mars, as opposed to on the helicopter itself.
Employment is a lagging indicator. In the past, every time unemployment hit rock bottom, a recession followed.
Personally, I find that the most satisfying AI images are not the ones that try to imitate photographs or do a hyperrealistic style, but the ones inspired by artistic schools which were intentionally coarse and textured.

> It's the same thing with the raspberry pi, sure you can get some cheap clone...

It's a little different: from when the rPI first came out the price was a big driver of it's popularity. It started with the Model B at $35 (with the Model A at $25 "later this year") and this was so much cheaper than other options at the time. Look over threads from the time [1][2] and you'll see things like: "I teach middle school programming/computer classes. I cannot wait to get my hands on one of these. Right now it's cheap enough that I can tell the parents to buy one for their kids without a problem, and out of pocket it for those few of my students whose parents won't be able to afford it." and "The pricepoint is simply revoultionary. I intend to make a few amateur home automation gadgets with this."

Probably almost all of it. Taking into account what's left of some of the most durable structures we know about after a few thousand years it stands to reason that most of everything else is gone forever. That's why the older fossil record is so spotty and why almost every find is significant.
