Sure, and that's a problem. It is true that uncapping the house and ending up with like 15,000 representatives would achieve a bunch of goals and IMO be a significant improvement, but I personally find this less likely to happen than to change from a geographic model of representation.
Neat... but I'm missing the left+right click, in the Windows Minesweeper, say you have a square with 4, and you've marked 4 squares around it as bombs, you can left+right click on the 4-square and uncover all the unmarked squares around it, instead of going one by one.

Also "undo" is cool, but "lose 60s" seems backwards, considering one would get 60 seconds added to one's time.

The rich get richer in real life too. Oh the humanity.
I am not sure if these incentives help IPv6 adoption. Nobody can turn off IPv4 today; there is always a long tail of people with broken IPv6 stacks. Since IPv4 continues to work, I'm not even sure it's worth setting up IPv6 so that someday you can switch IPv4 off; do work that gets you customers today, switch off of IPv4 when it becomes a crisis. I think the best incentive would be a high price on IPv4-only, but if you do the work to support dual-stack, then that fee is waived. That way, there is savings for doing the technical work today, and you pave the way for a brighter future.

Personally, I think I'd pay the fee to not be dual stack these days. Everything in your infrastructure has to now check two things. Your website uptime checker has to probe via both IPv4 and IPv6. You have to maintain two sets of firewall rules. You have to remember to "ping -6 example.com" in addition to "ping example.com" when checking connectivity. I don't think it's worth the effort, and I say that as someone who first made their website available over IPv6 in like 2008. (I moved providers in 2020 and the new one didn't have IPv6. It made me sad. But now it's just one less thing to worry about.)
Back around 2002 we built an IRC bot that logged everything in a channel, built up a frequency table of which word follows what word and then randomly would spew out some text using a random walk of the frequency tables and had some logic for when to stop (I think probability increased with sentence length).

Sometimes it came up with very funny stuff, but mostly non-sense.
True! Hm, well you didn't receive it till now? Will check it out.
Not video encoding, raw-ish signals.

Let's say DSC is allowed, which costs microseconds and is basically invisible, and can compress down to about 8 bits per pixel.

That USB cable can transmit 20Gbps in each direction. The display needs to do 23 million pixels 90 times a second, and at 8 bits per pixel that's about 17Gbps.

The video cameras going the other way are 13 million pixels for the main cameras plus some amount more for the 6 tracking cameras and the other sensors. And those main cameras are outputting 8 bits per pixel before any compression is applied.

It's a tight fit at that bitrate, but we can upgrade to USB4 and get 40Gbps in each direction. That leaves plenty of room for everything, and makes sure there's headroom for HDR and 100Hz and whatnot. It works out.

Is political ambition measured in pages published?
From the article:

> So, the EIA decided it needed a better grip on what was going on. To get that, it went through trade publications, financial reports, news articles, and congressional investigation reports to identify as many bitcoin mining operations as it could. With 137 facilities identified, it then inquired about the power supply needed to operate them at full capacity, receiving answers for 101 of those facilities.

> If running all-out, those 101 facilities would consume 2.3 percent of the US's average power demand. That places them on the high side of the Cambridge Center estimates.

I bought something on AliExpress recently and they seem to have changed things up so that there's a second shipping option called "Choice" that only certain items apply to. I'm not sure if they've started putting high-popularity items in stateside distribution centers or what, but they ship these items for free with a $10 minimum order.
It's just preventing the accumulation of a specific kind of power.

Relatively speaking this would increase the power of military generals, presidents, and criminals, for a start. Is that a good thing? maybe, but restricting power from a group needs to be assessed in terms of holistic power balance not naive platitudes like 'No one should be a millionaire/billionaire'.
The economics of rent have been weird for 20 years globally. It is because you make a loss on the rent in hope of capital gains and rent increases later. The lemon has been squeezed drier and drier. Every time I think house prices can’t boom any more they do. I now think it has less to do with fundamentals and more just a lack of housing vs. population and the fact that people earn or have amounts of money so it selects for the richer and the perpetual belief in bricks
and mortar. Also a debt based money system encourages this.

> What are the benefits these chemicals have provided

They have a lot of properties that can be useful in materials - hydrophobicity, lipophobicity, chemical resistance, low friction, etc.

They are certainly used in some niches (like medical devices, protective clothing, advanced manufacturing) that people would agree are Important, but a significant percentage of production goes into, and a significant amount of contamination comes out of, stuff like stain-proofing couches and making food packaging grease resistant. I’m under the impression that a lot of environmental contamination likely also comes from their use in firefighting foams - a useful application to be sure, but there are some things it’s not a great idea to spray straight into the environment.

> Are they chemically bonded to something that reduces bio-interactivity?

A huge part of the story of PFAS is that they are quite resistant to (permanent) chemical bonding, which has often lead to them being thought of as “inert” in a sense that is conflated with safety. But this sense of inertness is a bit of a red herring when it comes to biology (plenty of things interact with receptors without covalently bonding) and meanwhile makes them highly persistent both within organisms and in the environment.

“PFAS” as a literal chemical category feels pretty broad. The ones best established to be harmful are fluorosurfactants like the whole list explicitly targeted here. But broadness is also kind of the point because there are tons of chemicals in use that are likely to have similar accumulative properties that have never really been studied for health effects, and which can’t really be assumed to be harmless if the others aren’t.
Yeah, the threshold to virality has been crossed. Same playbook as (ugh) TikTok.

It works pretty well. This morning running on what were the top 20 articles on Hacker News, it failed to extract data for one article and that was only because the link was a PDF. On an average day I get one or two failure per 20 articles, for various reasons (click-throughs, information in pictures, PDF links) and I haven't tried very hard to improve it.
> All I know is that nobody is gonna remember that time you got 53mpg on a road trip. But a ride in a cool car is not something that you forget.

What? I remember hitting 60ish mpg in my then-GF's '84 Honda Civic driving to college with the a/c off. And in my 2011 Jetta Sportwagen TDI on any trip at highway speeds; sure it put out extra NOx, but it also got extra fuel efficiency.

Big cars and mileage don't go together. But big cars and legroom often do, also big cars and speakers; I think my minivan has more speakers than my home theater, and the minivan gets better mileage than the home theater too.
If someone really, really wants to do it they'll buy a second hand oligonucleotide synthesizer and the reagents, and do the larger scale assembly the old fashioned way.

One of the APIs powering the Pinball Map is the excellent Open Pinball Database (opdb.org).

OPDB came about because an older site IPDB doesn’t have an API (and doesn’t want to have an API) in order for various pinball software to communicate with each other. I'm in some pinball leagues with the developer, Andreas Haugstrup, who also makes matchplay.events, pintips.net, and other sites that serve the pinball community.

Your usage of the word "hoarding" implies a Scrooge McDuck view of wealth where its just stashed away in some vault - never put to use. Yet nothing could be further from the truth.
Nobody should even be a millionaire it says. A small house in California is a million dollars ffs.

That isn't clear at all. You seem to be saying that if you anticipate that people might question other people's competence or motives, or in your view a discussion won't lead people to think the right thoughts ("encourage actual understanding") then you flag it to try to ensure nobody can discuss it.

But you also say that making it undiscussable is also not about making the topic untouchable. That's just playing with words, isn't it? It's exactly what you're trying to do and exactly why you're flagging it.

This particular case is really egregious. Fauci has said this draconian policy "just sort of appeared", yet you damn anyone questioning his competence or motives as lacking humility? What would it take for you to allow criticism of this guy?
That's part of the reason for their success. They iterate rapidly and learn from their mistakes. SpaceX destroyed nine Falcon 9 boosters and one test booster (Grasshopper) before managing to land one. Now they have more successful consecutive booster landings than any other rocket family has had successful consecutive launches.
This. I have done this for 30 years and never, ever thought about a side project “this could be a commercial success”.

What’s described here is a lot further along than I normally take a project.

There is always a more interesting project to make that has no potential of being “successful” than the most interesting idea among potentially successful projects.

I think for some people the entrepreneurial angle itself is enough to make a project attractive. But I never quite understood it.
I'm curious why there's no actual downvote for submissions. Was that ever discussed on here? I did a quick search for prior discussions on the topic but didn't find anything.

To me, "flag" means "this is a serious violation that requires moderator attention". Something I'd want you to see and deal with because it's bigoted, illegal, spam, etc. I wouldn't flag something simply because I didn't think HN was the right audience, or because I personally dislike the topic. You seem to be encouraging me to use it simply as a downvote.

I'm not going to start flagging things, nor do I feel that strongly about the lack of a downvote, but if flags are effectively downvotes behind the scenes, and if that's how users are treating flags (which they obviously are, from other comments on this thread), I think the UI should have a downvote button.

I assume there's been discussion about this before and I'm curious about the thought process behind the decision. I don't find the FAQ to be informative about this.

“past performance is a poor indicator of future performance” is quite a weak statement. It’s the one of the best predictors there is. There are very few exceptions. When you were called out you doubled down with complete nonsense. If everything were a series of independent variables, then every day after work, how do you decide whether to return home to your loving spouse (of many years) and children, why not go to a bar and find some strange? Why bother calling up your longtime friends to hang out, why not go to a bar and talk to the person next to you - a lifetime of (past) friendship is no indication of future kinship! Why bother writing a response to a forum post, when one moment from now, everything will be independent of everything else, and you have no expectations of feeling the same way? Finally, you excuse any flaws in your travesty of ideas by claiming that sniping at “Elon worshipers” is such a just cause that it excuses any sort of flawed thinking. This is a fine demonstration of echo chamber thinking.

The state is democratic, not absolute. When the state implements policies like this it is acting as a democratic expression of the community's will. We as a community are saying "We're not going to allow individuals within our community to accumulate undo influence over it."
> Past performance is a piss poor indicator of future performance.

Really?

It's my understanding Elon isn't popular anymore (I could care less), but this point does not help whatever it is you're trying to say. I deal a lot with statistics and making predictions from past performance, and you most definitely can determine future performance with a high amount of accuracy. This shouldn't really need said.

You are probably right about him smelling too many of his farts, but you really hurt your main thesis right off the bat with that first claim.
Yes, the carrot of automation would be so much easier than the stick of manual review. I haven't seen any system that works well enough yet though.

The nice thing is that the comments are all public so if someone wants to take a crack at building a state-of-the-art sentiment detector or what have you, they can have a go—and if anyone comes up with anything serious, we'd certainly like to see it. As would the entire community I'm sure!

I mean people can still modify the answers. Let me say that in the era of LLM it's probably a lot better just to change the interview format -- for example, put questions and coding tests in zoom/in person instead of online.
> Do you know what the word "chemical" means?

This intentional nitpicking of the colloquial usage of the word chemicals is a favorite of both, disingenuous conversationalists who like to take a chance to feel correct rather than participate earnestly, and lobbyists.

At least one of them gets paid for it though.
I think the issue is who decides on the parameters of the mission. For example, with Starlink, SpaceX got to decide whether or not it could be used for attack missions across the border into Crimea--they decided no.

The US then contracted SpaceX to build Starshield, which is the same as Starlink but 100% controlled by the military. The US military will decide what Starshield can be used for.

With Starship, I assume the military wants to be able to decide where, when, and with what payload they can launch. If they were only contracting launch services, SpaceX might decline certain missions.
Infiniti has been doing steer-by-wire for over a decade.
To understand why people don't find this compelling (and are sick of hearing it), you probably need to first understand that people consider Bitcoin's profitability a false economy.

The logical question is then to ask why they're paying you to run your AC, and that is the uncompelling part: it's not clear that we should be paying people to burn energy to crack hashes.

Pretty much, same with SHEIN. I spend a lot of time thinking about how these companies are basically just selling garbage (or rather, soon-to-be-garbage). Beyond the impact of manufacturing, shipping, and disposing of this junk, it's normalizing the idea of "you can have whatever you want but it'll be just passable enough that you don't regret buying it, and maybe even replace it" in our culture.
