How much of that increase is earmarked to be skimmed off by the Olympic International Committee, I wonder.

The Olympics of today are a money-sucking operation that the Games-holding countries get suckered into. Those countries lose billions over the Olympics.

Once upon a time, you could see many different sports of the Olympics, and on practically every TV channel. Nowadays, you get (extremely expensive) 'exclusive rights' by one or two channels and you get a very limited selection of sports information released by the IOC.

I boycott the Olympics and anything connected with them.

I got there by just looking at how far north people go before it becomes questionable and then realizing most of the world’s population is closer to the equator. The other approach is to look country by country and solar generally works in China, India, US etc.

For your specific situation, you can reuse panels, inverters, and most wiring etc between roofs or depending on things like a HOA install them elsewhere for less. A solar gazebo or car port for example can directly use the panels as a roofing material. Some people are even using them as fences.

The actual calculations get involved including things like permits and your weather etc. But don’t assume your only option is spending 15+k for some contractor to show up and slap a bunch of panels on your roof.

PS: 30k is overkill for your usage, and you don’t need a battery unless you are particularly worried about power outages.

Show HN: Tutorial on Implementing Universal Links in iOS
I have been taking a fairly extended hiatus from writing (due to working on releasing an app).

During the app development, I had to add support for Universal Links, and found that the support was ... less than optimal ...

Basically, Universal Links are only one part of a larger set of capabilities, and there hasn't really been much space dedicated to just adding the links, and nothing else.

I figured it was a good chance to get back into the writing saddle, so I did this.
Dr. Murthy understands social media and the headwinds that younger generations are facing.

With this in mind, are we underestimating the devastation awaiting the younger generations?

We have scientists cocksure of natural disasters in the medium term, four decades of increasing economic inequality, cost of living pressure, and in the U.S., and increasingly in other countries, price increases in health, rent, and education.

The kids see empirical evidence of their plight.
The author always chooses the publisher.

What's the difference between using this vs a Lambda function with an API Gateway app fronting it? I've been doing the latter for many years with Serverless and it has worked very well. Or does this enable you to run your entire web application as a Lambda function? If so, how does it work around the 30s execution window?

Regarding stability, this physical inertia is also present in rotating wind turbines. But I guess exploiting this at a meaningful scale would recquire a level of interconnectivity which boils down to the same issue of cost.

I am however optimistic about grid-scale storage. There is a long term trend of rapidly dropping battery prices, and with recent developments in sodium ion batteries there is no fundamental reason this won´t continue. Another enabler could be advancements in lifespan. This could allow storage being installed inside or near wind and PV, cutting down on space and installation costs. Even then however, grid improvements would be needed.

Some problems still need to be solved indeed, but in my (mostly uneducated) opinion, they seem easier than achieving economically viable fusion. But they do still require large investments in R&D and manufacturing capability.
If you're using RDS proxy, now you're not scaling to zero, and you still can't handle 100k burst requests because lambda can't do that. So why not use a normal application architecture which actually can handle bursts no problem and doesn't need a distributed database?

Lambda could be a compelling offering for many use cases if they made it so that you could set concurrency on each invocation. e.g. only spin up one invocation if you have fewer then 1k requests in flight, and let that invocation process them concurrently. But as long as it can only do 1 request at a time per invocation, it's just a vastly worse version of spinning up 1 process per request, which we moved away from because of how poorly it scales.
And you are using the term "gangstalk", which refers to a specific symptom of mental illness, ironically?

If using electricity, it's "easy", first you split water into hydrogen and then use the Sabatier reaction. Of course, any electricity is fine.

One could get (much) higher efficiency by using the heat from a nuclear power plant directly (never producing electricity) but I guess that would have to be a completely custom design.

I'm talking about sending the CSR to the server that runs on http.

Bifrost CA server is a plain HTTP server that responds to X.509 Certificate Signing Requests (CSRs) sent via POST requests. The server validates CSRs, signs them, and returns signed certificates to clients.

*PLAIN* http server.

and also mentioning how operators can secure access to the server.

Also it says:

Bifrost recognises clients by their ECDSA P-256 key pairs. A client’s UUID is the hash of the public key and the namespace. The namespace is any UUID that identifies a domain or application.

When you send a CSR, the CSR contains the public key.

You __REALLY__ need to read up on x.509.
I am waiting more for the longevity of the roof than the panels. I’m not too keen on putting a lot of penetrations on an aging roof. The $30k number was based on a 10kW system (we’re limited based on a multiple of actual usage). But what you said makes sense and I should ask around for other quotes. But even at half that cost, I’m still looking at a 12-15 year simple payback. On a 20-25 year system, that puts the IRR at ~5%. My thinking is I’d rather have the liquidity of putting that money in the stock market.
Critics of solar (ie pro-nuclear people) like to point out that solar paower is variable and can't be used for base load. The truth seems to be more complicated [1] eg:

> Interestingly, as it looks to the future, NextEra seems not to be particularly interested in thermal power plants, the type that includes base load plants. It is planning to close its last coal-burning plant in 2028. And it expects electricity generated by natural gas to decline to 18% overall for all US producers by 2035. A look at a graphic on page 122 shows us why.

Another factor here is that solar power generation (ie when the Sun is up) largely aligns with peak power usage [2] so you're actually reducing the base load required because the maximum power usage has decreased with a significant solar power deployment.

Lastly, we don't tend to build power plants next to people. People don't want to live next to power plants. The further users are away from a power plant the more power required because you lose power in transmission. Solar (with or without batteries) can be deployed on residential housing so a wide solar deployment has power generation closer to the user (and is thus more efficient) but also reduces the need for heavy transmission lines.

That's important because if and when we have wider EV usage, there's going to be an issue in having sufficient power generation and transmission capacity so you really need solar to offset that.

That’s not why they don’t do it, it’s because it’s way too expensive. That fact alone precludes it from being used on cargo ships.

Now ask yourself this: do I want vessels flagged in the countries with the least regulations and the most corruption to be run by a for profit maritime shipping company that skimps on maintenance budgets and crew costs to be running nuclear reactors with highly enriched uranium (weapons grade) anywhere they want around the world, even through pirate territory?

Fuck No I don’t. I barely trust the nukes running them in the USN!

> Again, completely off the mark here. To create any CSR, bifrost or not, you need the private key that the CSR represents.

Yeah... No. You create a public/private key pair and the CSR CONTAINS that public key together with additional information.

That is not what happens in practice. Typically you get stick and stucco construction with flat roofs, picking the cheapest possible labor and construction materials, while putting on drywall and paint to make it look attractive for the 10-15 years it will last until termites and rot set in to the fragile bones.

But it fools most people, and if you're wealthy you're going to move to a newer area before that 15 years is up anyways.

As long as the the Republic of China does not declare Independence, China will wait. China's been around for several thousand years, another century or so wouldn't make any difference.

Soviet Union buildings started looking like bland concrete on purpose when Khrushchev decided housing everyone was more important than Stalin's focus on appearances. The buildings of that era were meant to be temporary, and only remained because their economy failed.

There were many awful things about Khrushchev, but at least the housing policy appears to have been a genuine attempt at improving things for ordinary people. Even though the housing was poor quality and ugly, it was a step up when they were introduced.
I disagree.

Pushing your image up to your registry, running `kubectl apply`, waiting for it to schedule your Pod and start your containers and exec'ing into them when shit breaks is WAY faster than zipping up your artifact and any layers that come with it, uploading it into S3, and re-deploying your Lambda functions (and any API Gateway apps associated with them), IMO.

When I use Serverless to do this, deploys take up to two minutes, which I sometimes do often because I have no real way of troubleshooting the application within Lambda (definitely necessary if you're using Lambda base images; less necessary if you're rolling your own; likely if you're integrating with API Gateway since documentation on the payloads sent from it is lacking IMO).

Okay, but suppose the signature wasn't reversible, you can still just run the signature against your public key to check. The nature of a signature is that it can be easily identified as originating from you.

In terms of display, framework 16 can definitely hold on its own against macbook. I saw no difference in terms of brightness (only when I downloaded an app for macbook to use HDR to boost it beyond maximum), resolution was also perfectly fine and couldn't see a difference. 165Hz however feels ever so slightly more smooth. The notch on the mac looks ugly af though and was first thing i disabled and I much prefer the look of framework.

What I don't like about the framework is definitely the aluminium sides that you use to position the touchpad. The tolerances are too high and it makes it look like a prototype. Honestly I would buy just a simple bottom piece with no adjustments possible, center is fine for me

The terms "anode* and cathode have their own problems. The cathode is that terminal of a device where positive current emanates. The (+) terminal of a batter is normally a cathode, but when the battery is being charged, it becomes an anode.

The terms anode and cathode should be burned. We don't use them much in modern electronics. E.g. we don't say that the positive power pins of a CPU are anodes, or that ground pins are cathodes.
It's not a complaint, just a suggestion that articles like this include a paragraph explaining the 24-7 power generation issue, instead of just the optimal output under ideal conditions. In terms of the organization behind it (ember-climate) it leads one to suspect they have more marketers than engineers on staff, which (depending on audience, I suppose) is somewhat poor marketing.
I wouldn’t recommend Azure App Service. Container Apps / AKS / Container Instances / Static Web Apps are all fine services for different use cases, but with App Service you are buying into a pretty strange infra approach compared to traditional FaaS / PaaS / IaaS distinctions. In the past 100% of the time App Service ended up being too weird to debug and another Azure service was a better compute fit.
> Critics of solar (ie pro-nuclear people)

Please don't assume that everyone who is pro-nuclear is anti-solar. Let's have nuclear, solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, tide-based, and anything else that works as a viable power source with no pollution. Let's have all of those technologies compete fairly over what is the most efficient and most capable of handling the load.
It's definitely not a sign of mental health...
Compromising a host, or stealing payment info, cost money, or at least time. Presumably they cost less than you get, but it's not free. If you can increase the CPU time it takes to send a spam message by 10x, then the cost to send a spam message will increase by 10x. This should be especially valuable for as long as there's a "not outrunning the bear, just outrunning your friend" effect, but even with full adoption, I would expect to see spam meaningfully reduced.

Was this solution actually shown not to work 20 years because spammers are able to pay the cost? My sense is that Hashcash never saw widespread adoption, and we don't really know how it would have worked out.

Sure that calculation might have worked when it was purely about the land. But now the land itself is only one small part of the value production. Even for agriculture, there's all that infrastructure, and the knowledge workers to make it viable and competitive. War destroys those, and a war of attrition like the one in Ukraine also has a destructive effect on the land itself.

Internal strife shows this. In Africa where farms were taken with force with no planning on what happened next the agricultural economy collapsed.
Well the public at large seems to disagree with the corporate definition of unlimited. Also these unlimited storage accounts of consumers are stacked so high with data they are taxing the physical limits of google's storage pools?
