Thanks for the comment!

Each review doesn't count as a single business entity, there are several checks within a business case which each require manual review. Plus often there is a lot of back and forth with customers, which is a multiplier.

UK is a poor example as yes indeed companies house is a central registry. In the UK the manual review is generally proving operating address and operations in general.

A good example for incorporation is Delaware in the US which has no information on the status of a company, so it could in-fact be inactive/dissolved. In this situation an additional proof of operations or good standing certificate is needed to verify the entity is active. In other jurisdictions the registry data is not even present so a certificate is needed. In most US states registries take a while to update so a brand new business would need a certificate.

AI is needed to evaluate proof documents, websites, web presence, social profiles. The list goes on.

I wish it were as easy as just using data + rules! If it were, you wouldn't have fintechs with teams of 10s or even 100s of compliance analysts doing this stuff!
China. Nio in the mainland for cars and gogoro doing scooter batteries in Taiwan. It's been used for industrial vehicles for decades. The videos I've seen of a nio swap show its a sub 5min changeover, for a full charge. And, the swap stacks are obvious candidates to soak surplus wind and solar power.
For new, modern projects, yes. Very much so. There is practically no reason to choose JS over TS, even for high performance projects where every byte counts and you may want stricter control over the transpilation. The ecosystem has grown to the point where other optimizations like tree shaking do far more, and the improvement in the local dev cycle is insurmountable between the two.

Obviously this doesn't apply to existing projects; you're grandfathered into the language barring a pretty big undertaking to move over, but if you go to any competent company doing modern web development on relatively new codebases, they will use TS over JS.

And if they don't, as an engineer, you should ask hard questions as to why not. Because if the answer is someone stuck in the early 2000s complaining about OO and strong typing not being needed, then that's completely missing what TS does (and especially what it did when it was released, which was pre-ES5) and how big of an impact it has to speeding up development.
The blanket rejection of zoning, based on century-old racist transgressions, is pointless and tired. I lived in high-density areas my entire adult life until four years ago, when I finally bought a house that is a considerable distance away from those areas. I didn't do so for racist reasons. I did so because I required more space for my professional and personal pursuits. So I really don't give a shit about why the neighborhood was built originally, or feel the least bit guilty about opposing attempts to "Manhattanize" it.

The defense of zoning is not "post hoc," since we're talking about today and in the future. The "racism" attack on it is ad hominem.

I'm not against development, or density in areas that are designated for it. I'm against the vilification of entire neighborhoods under a false narrative that veils a craven profit motive, in combination with an entitled gimme-gimme-gimme delusion that cheap housing is going to rain down on people who could but don't work for it... if only we wipe out those horrible houses inhabited by rich racists.
Before leaving every job I've had, every one, I worried, I agonized, I second guessed myself...

And every new job, every one, within a short time, I thought "I should have done this sooner!"

I think we need to have a bias for moving forward, and I think it is healthy.

That said, I remember a friend who immediately quit their job (for a legitimate reason) without having another job lined up and regretted it. They told me they should have stayed cool, lined up another job first, and then quit.
From fourth grade until I left academia I was expected to work at home. While in college, I "collaborated" by meeting with my team on group projects and formed study groups without needing to be herded together with them. We figured it out on our own. After all this, when I got a job, suddenly I wasn't doing a good enough job unless I displayed the trappings of looking busy for the boss.
There were previously stations with enough clear passenger demand to justify express service to those stations, but which weren't on the express line because historically they had fewer passengers. Caltrain didn't want to slow down the express line by adding stops, but now that they have the opportunity to add the stops while also making the service faster they did so.
Ask HN: What do you use to illustrations and animations?
Like many of you, I am a visual thinker. When I’m thinking about or discussing a concept, I often create diagrams and animations in my head. These could range from technical to process to, honestly, whatever.

Often, it feels like if only I could get what’s in my brain onto a visual medium, it would lead to much more productive conversations and communications.

In the age of AI, are there any tools that you all are using for this purpose?
It's still widely used, among old ISPs because why switch when it's just as good or better than the alternative and your engineers know it best. But it's not the whole stack as implied in the first reply.

It was popular primarily because OSPF didn't scale well with hundreds to thousands of routers with the minimal CPU power even large core routers had.

It is nice to see millennials re-discovering how pretty much everything was done before the explosion of the internet in the mid-90s.

Historically, what this article describes, was simply called "finding somewhere to live". There was no necessity to invoke warfare when looking for a house. One simply drove around the neighborhood looking for for-sale or for-rent signs.

Amazing that now just doing something in the real world is cause for excitement! But I'm sincerely happy to see a re-emergence of the practice.

BTW, I hope the author appreciates living in a place where "there are almost no real estate agents" along with the other described traits. Escaping the commodification of everything is more difficult every year, and you have to get pretty far from the epicenters to find it at all.

Indeed. The wrapper article suggests

> The crucial thing is to be able to step back from our instinctive reactions to the way such words sound to us now — we can’t help but hear the superseded ones as sounding terrible and the new ones as clean and shiny

But to me, the "superseded ones" sound brutally honest, while the new ones sound like doomed attempts to ignore reality - like calling a rose a redbloom because one doesn't like sweet smells.

If one believes that harmful attitudes are associated with a term, the problem is the attitudes - and changing the term doesn't make them go away. Changing them faster is irrelevant - the attitudes glom to the new term instantaneously, once people actually become aware that it's actually being used - and the terms will rightly be mocked for their ineffectiveness just as quickly. (Keep in mind, for example, that the term "people of color" dates to at least 1988: https://www.nytimes.com/1988/11/20/magazine/on-language-peop.... But in my universe, it effectively didn't exist until 2012 or so - and indeed, some mockery of the term might well have been my first exposure to it.)

Why not just charge it? Am I crazy to think, if it swells it swells? You turn it off, remove it then and get to the problem then. I've used a MacBook air from 2012 with a swollen battery since 2014, every day pretty much. It's not a nuclear bomb.

I don't use AI for that, but frequently illustrate things in Figma (even flowcharts and architectural diagrams, etc.).

It's just a nice UI, fast, and it's easier to keep everything in one place vs spreading it out over GDrive/third-party flowchart apps, etc., especially if the people you're sharing with are also Figma users.

When Figma is too much work, honestly, just having an dry-erase whiteboard near the desk works wonders for visual thinking and in-person meetings.

tl;dr: solar, mostly

The short answer is that average generation in CA is:

- 51% solar

- 22% natural gas

- 21% other renewables (hydro + wind + geothermal)

- 6% nuclear

- 0.1% coal

sources:

- https://www.eia.gov/state/print.php?sid=CA

- https://www.gridinfo.com/california

- caiso.com is also good

The medium answer is that trains run during daylight hours, so they probably consume more solar and less natural gas than the averages suggest.

The long answer is that counterfactual modeling of electricity generation is surprisingly subtle. E.g., the Diablo Canyon nuclear power station is going to run regardless of whether Caltrain electrifies, and no more nuclear is being built either way, so really Caltrain is "responsible" for none of the nuclear generation in the state, even if the trains are consuming power at the same time that Diablo Canyon is generating. In this analysis frame, you tend to look at the marginal plant being built, which likely further pushes toward solar but depends on tons of factors in reality.

I confess I'm somewhat terrified of this.

It can be made of rusty tin foil, leak like hell, have no defense at all, but if it can carry a mid-sized aircraft, Iran can use this to menace, piss off and irritate anyone on the planet. Possibly soon with nuclear weapons.

> The whole thing is going to be an expensive target for whoever they pick on.

Yeah, a target you'd be pretty stupid to fire at.

This may be the cheapest shittiest knock off, but it still represents what aircraft carriers do, which is a bit of sovereign floating territory. Iran's gonna slow boat this thing to all kinds of obnoxious menacing hostile places, fire off some rounds, and triple dog dare anyone to do a single thing about it.

A giant bristling floating target symbol, that sucks & keeps ending up obnoxiously close to adversaries shores, that maybe has nuclear weapons on it. This is a shitty future and one I wish there were protocols for sinking.
Fantastic and great work! Really like this idea of gathering information from various sources and generating abstract accordingly, which saves users tons of time.

The video is showing part of that delay, but the blog entry is explicitly suggesting that the step start extending while the train is still in moving (at < 5 mph):

> This can be fixed in software. As seen in the timeline graphic, allowing the step to deploy and retract while the train is in motion would remove this wasted dwell time.
Also a diver here. There are generally different biological mechanisms involved for “free diving blackout” vs “hypoxic blackout” (which is related to exertion while breathholding). Freedivers train to relax muscles and stay calm, so blackouts due to pressure changes are more common rather than to exertion. Swimming horizontally under water requires a lot of effort, which burns more oxygen. Combine high exertion with untrained individuals not aware of the risk, or misuse of hyperventilation (which doesn’t increase oxygen, but decreases CO2), and suppressing urge to breath, and you can also blackout.

ps. I argued with you here[0] about Vulkan on MacOS, and after reading more about graphics APIs and game engines I can say I was wrong about some of what I said eg. "studios are generally using modified versions of UE so my guess is that means they are generally making low level changes sometimes, and so it makes sense to me that they sometimes may write their Dx/ Vulkan code for different things sometimes" which after researching, studios do heavily modify Unreal, but they do not seem to touch the rendering APIs. (with some exceptions like here[1]). Also "Adding an extra platform like MacOS [on UE] is not simply clicking a button" which I simply assumed is true but have no evidence for.

No offense, but Casa Grande was, until recently, a modest farm town with modest incomes. Ag labor just doesn't pay that well and pools are expensive.

In contrast, here's a random middle class neighborhood in central Phoenix[0], the fifth most populous city in the US of A. You'll notice some of the streets have a pool in every single backyard. When you zoom in on the higher income neighborhoods, like in Scottsdale and PV, it's rare to see a backyard that doesn't have a pool.

I actually use TS as a way to avoid bothering with TDD. Many of the proponents of TDD are using dynamically typed languages, and need tests to verify every tiny little assertion about their code. I remember Eric Elliot had a bunch of posts on Medium years ago denouncing TS and claiming that TDD (and testing in general) obviates the need for types.

I'll accept that there are some intelligent developers out there that are more productive without static type checking, but I personally don't understand it. If you don't have a tool analyzing your program's types, then your brain becomes the type checker. I personally would much rather focus on higher level problems. I don't even see type checking and code formatting as human level concerns anymore, and would rather have my computer do it for me, but I guess it's just a preference. Do whatever works for you.

Ask HN: How many domain names do you own?
A really interesting article covering this: “The world in which IPv6 was a good design” https://apenwarr.ca/log/20170810

It talks about how when IPv6 was being designed, they wanted to do exactly that: drop most of the layer 2 stuff, abandon the idea of a bus network, make everything point-to-point, all switches would be L3 routers, etc.

Search for “What if instead the world worked like this?” for the relevant part.

My question though, is how would IP assignment work for each of the intermediary devices between me and (say) my ISP’s gateway? My computer is plugged into a switch right now, which is plugged into another switch, which is plugged into my router, which has a point-to-point link to the ISP gateway. Would my router get a /64, then delegate a /68 to the next “router” (ie. The physical thing I currently call a switch), which would delegate a /72 to the next one, etc? How would it determine the optimal IP allocation? What if there’s a cycle? Aren’t we sorta reinventing spanning tree at this point? (I’m genuinely curious about this, because I don’t really grok all of the implications of an “everything is L3” world like this.)
Interestingly, medium is the place pushing idiotic “always runtime immutable or ur dumb” nonsense, resulting in this blog post because people such as yourself are eating it up on the basis of moronic bullshit like “beautiful”.

>background

Nobody needs background to see that needlessly copying data for no reason is more expensive than not doing that.

Unfortunately for FP programmers, the moronic levels of doing this is actually worse than it sounds, as needlessly copying data is basically completely antithetical to how every modern CPU wants to optimally work.

It isn’t “me” declaring that runtime immutability is moronic. It is your CPU telling you that.
