Outsourcing has not increased, because non-US R&D costs are not deductible (with very limited exceptions).

What has changed is that companies are re-evaluating the value of "tech"-related expenditures now that they have to account for them the same way they account for other R&D activities, and have generally found that tech expenditures don't have the ROI originally forecast (largely due to being too optimistic when forecasting, but that's what happens when an industry sells itself through a perpetual hype cycle instead of on fundamentals).
The utility company fuse between the property and the 240 V distribution system should prevent overcurrent. If the frequency or phase of the inverter is wrong the inverter might die first unless the network is already down.

There isn't really any practical way to prevent overvoltage though. So a rogue controller in charge of all the solar systems in a street might be able to do quite a lot of damage to consumer devices.

A problem from the utility point of view is that they can no longer guarantee that the 240 V side of the distribution system is safe to work on just by tripping a breaker on either side of the distribution transformer. So all work on the 240 V distribution system has to be done with the assumption that the system is live.

Eventually regulations will be updated, if necessary, to deal with large numbers of solar installations on domestic buildings.

For what it's worth, at least as I understand it, the Guardian got monikers like that due to their (for a time) extreme propensity to publish typos.

Is your domain relatively new? It might be that Google's automated systems don't yet "trust" it due to a lack of history/backlinks, or it could be similar to a flagged domain from the past. This might be why they're suggesting you switch to a different domain.

To improve this, you could work on building more "authority" for your domain by gaining backlinks, which could help increase its trustworthiness. If time is an issue, you might consider purchasing an existing domain with a solid reputation. There are also some SEO tools which can give you insights into a domain.
As a game developer it's kind of sad to see such practices in stealing my or others hard work.

> Film, here, seems especially dated. Sometimes anachronistic idioms get modernized rather than remaining static.

I don't think that's a modernization, it's a misunderstanding. The idiom makes no sense as "news at 11" (though the "story at 11" from the op does make some sense), since to even deploy it idiom, you must have already given the news.

I feel like "news at 11" is a case where an idom is twisted when it's not understood to try to make sense of it. There's probably a name for this linguistic phenomenon.

>RTBF isn't about having your information wiped from the internet.

your take is misleading enough to be considered wrong. It's "don't use public information about me in search engines, I don't want people to find that information about me", not simply "don't use my information for marketing purposes"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_be_forgotten

first paragraph of the article: The right to be forgotten (RTBF) is the right to have private information about a person be removed from Internet searches and other directories in some circumstances. The issue has arisen from desires of individuals to "determine the development of their life in an autonomous way, without being perpetually or periodically stigmatized as a consequence of a specific action performed in the past". The right entitles a person to have data about them deleted so that it can no longer be discovered by third parties, particularly through search engines.

> Only the feds enforce federal crimes, so it's not relevant to most traffic stops.

You're unlikely to be arrested by any federal LEO, as there are not many of them. Your local LEO do the arrest and then transfer to the relevant agency.

Law enforcement can, and do, cooperate to arrest individuals.

Imagine if a suspect could get away from being arrested just by crossing into another state.
Indeed, causally linked variables need not be correlated in observed data; bias in the opposite direction of the causal effect may approximately equal or exceed it in magnitude and "mask" the correlation.

>there's a good amount of evidence regarding the harms it can have at this point

Considering this evidence was produced during a time when the public opinion was looking for any excuse to blame social media companies and that the field of research producing those studies has an accuracy of a coin flip I'm unconvinced. I'd need to see a lot more than out of contact quotes from Facebook research or these questionable "we asked kids to taste xyz, they're totally more depressed and it's totally social media's fault."

>kids haven't been able to buy mature games from brick-and-mortar stores like Gamestop since I was a child decades ago

They pirated them instead because kids don't have money.

That being said, I would rather kids be banned from the internet outright rather than the internet becoming yet another watered down place.
My most recent data says it's still relevant.

It might not matter for very small interpreters, but it does matter for anything substantial.

SpaceX delivered. Eventually.

Boeing will deliver. Eventually. They always do.

Boeing brings nothing to the table in launch diversification. Crewliner isn’t a launch programme. It is currently the stupidest aerospace programme on the planet, and that would still be true if it actually worked.

Boeing provides a counterbalance to an Elon Musk controlled SpaceX. If Elon were sane, this wouldn't be necessary, but right now he's inflaming race riots in Europe.
One solution that we've been implementing in our APIs is the Seek Method (https://use-the-index-luke.com/sql/partial-results/fetch-nex...) which scales very well with large data sets in postgres, while avoiding some of the mentioned problems.
That's why my system (Victron + Fronius) is offline, monitored with HA, BYD battery if there is no secret in-hw backdoor in my home server can't reach the internet as well. HA can, via wireguard, to act/monitor when I'm outside my home witch might be a serious threat but it's pretty easy to cut it off if needed.

There is a more important part, while with p.v. we still can go offline, with car's we can't. My car is connected and I can't do NOTHING to manage it, it's managed by it OEM behind me and that's a much bigger threat since single cars can paralyze the nation if properly blocked in critical points of the road network.

At a largest scale that's the reason we can't have a national smart grid but only individual smart microgrid, meaning p.v. should be used only for self-consumption NOT grid-tied like in California.
I do not think we are close to "leaving C behind collectively" and neither should we.
One of the compilation passes in a Scheme compiler (e.g. Guile or Racket) is conversion to continuation passing style. Here the author applies the pass manually as a code design decision, because later passes of the compiler (i.e. the actual C compiler) produce better code given that input. It's neat.

> his is why Emacs and Vim are so ergonomic to modify - the base system is a scriptable environment on which the editor was built.

This is more an Emacs than Vim thing. GNU Emacs was scriptable from the start, while VimScript was added in Vim v5 (when Vim had been around for 7-8 years). Most of Vim was from the beginning written in C with a scripting language and plug-in system being afterthoughts.

I think the difference from other editors is just that these afterthoughts have still had decades to mature by now :)
Doesn't the idea that one can debunk a theory at its point of origin contradict your earlier statements about how science works? You could perhaps argue that it has neither be proven nor disproven, due to lack of data and experimentation.

Also, the FBI seems to believe it exists, based on 1200 hostage incident reports[0]:

> According to the FBI’s Hostage/Barricade System (HOBAS), a national database that contains data from over 1,200 reported federal, state, and local hostage/barricade incidents, 92 percent of the victims of such incidents reportedly showed no aspect of the Stockholm Syndrome. When victims who only showed negative feelings toward law enforcement (usually due to frustration with the pace of negotiations) are included, the percentage rises to 95 percent. In short, this database provides empirical support that the Stockholm Syndrome remains a rare occurrence.

> But seems outsourcing to outside-US has only increased?

In addition to u/gamblor956's answer, for companies that are outsourcing, these decisions aren't only driven by price considerations - distributing teams to deliver in parallel does speed up delivery. And for a lot of subfields in software, the talent pipeline doesn't exist anymore in the US (eg. anything Systems adjacent).

And finally, the layoffs that happened during COVID and in 2023-24 overimpacted workers on visa statuses like H1B, EB1/2, etc, so you had a pretty decent chunk of American trained engineering, product, and marketing talent abroad now who can act as interlocutors between American companies and local talent.
OT: Does everyone on HN have a WaPo subscription or something? I don't think I've ever been able to actually read any article of theirs without a paywall, ever. Not even the first sentence -- literally just a title and a paywall.

I know there are ways to get around it (can't remember which sites off hand, but it seems like they're usually the top comment...), but it feels like the kind of paywalled site that wouldn't typically be allowed on most share-your-links sites -- and especially ones that encourage actually reading the article before commenting.

Ask HN: What do bad Go codebases look like?
I've worked in the past with PHP, Java, Python, and JS/TS. The worst aspect of typed programming languages in large codebases was, without a doubt, the lack of types.
The biggest issue with Java and TS wasn't the languages themselves but the frameworks used: too much magic in Spring Boot, difficulty running things locally, and tons of dependencies (libraries).

I've never worked in a Go codebase professionally, so I was wondering how bad Go codebases look.
Not OP, but I've used it to clone (my own!) hotel key cards. I've accidentally left my key in the room when I unlocked the door, then absentmindedly tossed the card onto the dresser instead of putting it right back into my wallet. It's nice to have a backup in my bag.

Other hotels have an iPhone app you can use to unlock your door. That's another nice backup, but I've found I can have my Flipper out and the room door open faster than I can open my phone, find the app, launch it, inevitably have to log back in because it's been more than 30 seconds since I last opened it, etc.
Instead of a for loop where you hit a switch at the top of the loop, you jump to the code block for next instruction from the end of the previous instruction. That stops you from jumping to the top of the loop and then jumping a second time.

On older CPUs, you’re less likely to hit a pipeline stall. This technique was called “super-pipelining” for that reason. But a few years ago when this was discussed, someone pointed out that’s usually not necessary anymore. That branch predictors can see through double jumps now.

But as I alluded to in another reply, CPU caches are finite, and I have doubts whether in a fully realized interpreter, particularly one living side by side with a JIT, if that microbenchmark is lying to you about how fast the inner loop is under production conditions.
"Regular" pure glass fibers would be nearly as flexible. As an analogy - the same way that a solid steel rod would be strong, but if you make steel fibers that are very thin they can easily be shaped and bent. The material properties did not not change, just the difference between having a "lot" of something vs very little.

In this case, dopants are added to the glass to improve its properties as a fiber optic cable and the processing itself is important to attain certain properties. But even without those added dopants regular silicon dioxide glass would make flexible glass fibers.
If the facts change, I change my mind; but I don't think you're being realistic, here. Judges sometimes have to interpret poorly-written statutes. Legal drafting has improved a lot over the last hundred and fifty years or so; but that has been a gradual process.

Some countries have what are effectively brand new political and legal systems; but countries with comparatively long histories of stable governance generally have comparatively old laws that must be interpreted.

You ask three questions in the foregoing:

- Why would any legislature pass a law delegating responsibility to a non-existent agency?

If the city does not have a health department, it may be that the county does, or the state does, and they meant to delegate to them.

- How could this legislature pass a law with clearly contradictory stipulations regarding temperature?

The stipulations make use of a common, unfortunate misphrasing; that doesn't mean they are actually contradictory.

- Then, finally, for what reason would intent clauses be written if they were then be entirely ignored?

Intent clauses are generally considered non-binding, in legal systems all over the world. Another commenter has pointed out that this is the case not only in the Anglo-American system but also in the EU system: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41284984

That doesn't mean intent clauses serve no purpose. It just means they don't serve the purpose of providing a specific, actionable rule.
I wonder what "Truth" is. If I say I want you to make a picture of a lion eating at a 5 star restaurant, is that Truth? Is it truth because it can't refuse an ask? That feels like it is uninhibited, but not Truth, or truth.
You're saying that an LLM is not intelligent because it is very general, vague, unfocused, and/or inactive? I don't see how those are required for intelligence and, even if they are, ChatGPT is demonstrably capable of being specific, clear, focused, and active- I use it to this effect at least once a week. I certainly can see an argument for your position, but I don't understand this one.
Seems like someone is very angry or lost lots of money on that case and then only after the case was closed, the disappearances, 'tornadoes' and 'accidents' are now happening to anyone in proximity to Mike Lynch.

I was on jury duty recently that seemed the epitome of "you can beat the rap but you can't beat the ride," along with a terrible job done by the prosecutors. I explicitly told the defense attorneys on the way out that they didn't win their case, the prosecution lost by doing a terrible job with evidence.

China, at least Modern China is extremely risk averse. Basically if anything bad happens (not necessarily a death) the whole team would go through a lengthy close-looping quality management process. It is only after the success of SpaceX that things seem to loosen up a bit.

The general form of what you're describing ("I want product X to have less Y", in this case, tech) has been discussed by Joel Spolsky in an article about product design.

I can't find the article, but it said something around the lines of "each Microsoft Word user thinks that there are too many functionalities, and wants less".

His remark is that each user uses different functionalities, so one can't reduce a product's functionality in a way that satisfies everybody.

Everybody would sure love to have a smartphone tailored 100% to their usage, but in real world, either they accept smartphones in toto, or they just use a brick. In generalized form, the same concept applies to tech.

Maybe.

But it's a lot simpler than NASA's previous vehicle, the Shuttle.

If you read the selection statement[1], it seems clear in retrospect that NASA put too much weight on Boeing's Shuttle experience (via Rockwell), and not enough emphasis on SpaceX's Dragon 1 experience. But I think, at the time, it was difficult to know which factor was more important.

> My understanding is they're arguing that the FCC didn't have the authority to regulate net neutrality,

The fight to preserve net neutrality rules was actually (and continues to be) a fight to preserve most of the FCC's ability to regulate ISPs at all [1]:

> On October 19, 2023, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) that proposes to reclassify broadband internet access service (BIAS) as a Title II common carrier service and reinstate net neutrality rules.

...

> The FCC’s ability to adopt net neutrality rules depends on the legal classification of BIAS under the Communications Act of 1934 (“the Act”). As amended, the act defines two mutually exclusive categories of services: telecommunications services and information services. While telecommunications service providers are treated as highly regulated common carriers under Title II of the act, the FCC has much more limited regulatory authority over information service providers.

The FCC under Ajit Pai changed the classification of broadband providers from Title II ("information services") to Title I ("telecommunications services"). The FCC under Jessica Rosenworcel is trying to change broadband providers back to Title II, which (among other things, I assume) would allow the FCC to treat broadband providers as common carriers. The FCC might be able to regulate rates (meaning prices, not bandwidth) for internet service if ISPs are common carriers, but I'm not completely certain.

The 6th Circuit court case mentioned in the last section of the article is large ISPs' attempt to argue that the FCC has no authority to treat broadband providers as Title II services. Hence, the last section of the article is called

> FCC must show that broadband is telecommunications

The main court case of the article is about a New York state law which would regulate rates for internet service for low-income households. The FCC can't regulate rates without Title II authority. (Relying on the 10th Amendment, I assume) New York believes that the states have the authority to regulate ISPs in such a way (barring constitutional restrictions such as the Dormant Commerce Clause or the First Amendment). The large broadband providers are trying to petition the Supreme Court and argue that the FCC's Title I authority over broadband providers preempts states' attempts to regulate broadband providers in ways that the FCC would only be able to do with Title II authority. If the ISPs' argument prevails, the outcome would be that both the FCC and the states would lack authority to regulate rates on internet service, treat ISPs as common carriers, or impose net neutrality rules.

That's right. It's one of the worst areas in the world for renewable energy. The solar resource is relatively bad, and away from coasts wind isn't great either.
