I think we have already reached an inflection point. The automakers may be able to protect their US auto share gas vehicles for years to come, but what do their finances look like when everywhere else goes electric? Can they service their debt in a market where the share of gas cars goes down every year from here on out?
That project is really amazing I have seen it in a documentary I just can't remember the name of it.
Would be great if we could use antitrust law to force Tesla to let other EVs use the supercharger network too. Would open up a lot of competition and help reduce pollution.

If a consumer is conscientious enough to recycle something, the counterfactual is that they put it in the trash rather than that they throw it into the nearest river. In a landfill, a plastic bottle will lock up its constituent carbon for hundreds of years. In that long we should either have learned to manage the amount of carbon in our biosphere. To the extent that the amount of carbon we pump out of the ground is inelastic, better it get locked up in landfills than that it get burned. Now actually it is fairly elastic but given how much worse carbon burned is than carbon stored for hundreds of years I think disposal is probably better for the climate than recycling.
Most of the kids the author is talking about aren't going to ever code for a living - they're going to code to get their job done. It's a very different mindset.

This could simply be avoided by introducing a similar model to how it is handled over here in europe, with different vehicle classes and weight limits, a higher weight class requires a more advanced drivers license. Certain utlilty vehicles 3.5t and over can't be driven here without a D class license, which costs extra, requires extra training and the tax and fee structure for these vehicles is drastically different.

Usually, these heavier vehicles also pay higher toll fees on toll roads like in France, Spain, Austria, Italy, etc.
In Austria higher engine power vehicles also cost more on a monthly basis, while registration is a 150€ one time fee, monthly insurance and tax can be around 150€ for a 200hp ice vehicle, even just a Ford Fiesta.

Paying a small fee to read single articles has been tried many times, and failed. These payments amount to single digit percents of revenue, all the money is in subscribers. Because the people who wouldn't pay for a subscription wouldn't pay for a single article either.

There are two things that I think would work: Either mass syndication, so that your subscription gives you access to a ton of publication and the publications making their money from masses of people signing up. Or that people copy and paste a short and relevant part of an article instead of linking to it, when discussing it. I think that is fair use.

The problem is that you are indeed part of a tiny minority - but that isn't a problem in practice!

Properly sorting stuff is hard. You can't just look at whether something is vaguely plastic-ish or paper-ish, you actually have to inspect every single item for the recycling label. There are dozens of tiny gotchas to stumble over.

Luckily we don't actually need to do all that. There are automated plants which can take in a mixed domestic waste stream, and separate out things like metal and the various forms of plastic. This means you no longer have to worry about people sorting it incorrectly, and you no longer have to worry about people who can't be bothered to sort at all. It's a win-win, really.
> As it happens with so many cool ideas it did not germinate something useful.

Well, at least, not so far.
I didn't say it's automatic. You can have overrides that target a more narrow range of versions, if you need. If there has been a major refactor, then you need two patches. But it's not rocket science, and you definitely don't need chatgpt.

You can also blend both strategies - you might have a version minimization strategy, where you only use, for example, one major version of a library at a time.
The sales pitch is the difference between being a programmer and an engineer: one writes code, the other solves business problems. The value delivered by good engineering may be less than a lucky coder who doesn't have time to learn the tools of the trade, but this is expected: engineering is making sure luck doesn't matter for the business, within the operational envelope and in the assigned budget.

Linux is important if that's what the backend deploys to. If it is, it's a part of the operational envelope - I am saying engineers should have familiarity with what production is running on. I don't particularly care where those skills are being picked up as long as you know that on the production box there's strace instead of dtruss and you know how to check what the D state process is waiting for or whatever interesting issue arises which only happens under load, with networked storage and with at least a couple dozen cpus. (This is also why I don't care for frontend devs to 'know Linux', but having some knowledge about HTTP and their production HTTP servers would be beneficial, as would be knowing that networks aren't magic...)

"Heavier vehicles are safer for their occupants.."

I guess I sprung the trap.

We can apply the principle of charity and assume that because OP was making this complaint at all, it was probably in the context of jobs where ostensibly there is plenty of value in learning Linux. You don’t need to ask for qualification here, it’s just assumed by context that, for OP’s point, these were probable roles that really should have Linux knowledge.

But you turn that around and say “but why would you need Linux knowledge??!”, taking the least-charitably-possible interpretation of OP’s comment, as if they’re talking about janitors or something, challenging them to prove why the majority of jobs (!!??!!??) needs Linux knowledge.

I dunno man, maybe because in their head they’re referring to a category of people for whom working Linux knowledge really should be expected, and it’s assumed that readers of their comment will probably understand that, and that they’re not going to be prompted to qualify every last thing they say.

But sure. Yeah. Linux technically refers only to a Kernel and not the whole OS so people shouldn’t say “learning Linux” if they only mean a CLI and a basic unix-like environment. You’re very smart, thank god you’re here to clarify all of this for us.

I need to stop with HN for a while, the level of pedantry has gotten absolutely out of control and I’m getting angry just reading this shit.
You still want a bootloader to support firmware updates, typically in the first 8 kB of flash or something like that.
I think it is obliquely getting at a difference between founder and manager that is very real: a founder has a moral authority over the vision that a manager does not. We can argue whence it comes but it is palpable from strong founder leaders. There is a general sense that they hold the entire business in their head.

A founder can wield this to effect changes that would be nearly impossible without it. In this sense, a founder can solve some problems in every part of the organization that no manager can. If a founder delegates everything to managers, or cannot identify problems best addressed with this founder's tool, then you are setting up managers to be ineffective in some situations that could have been solved by the founder stepping in. I think this is also part of what makes founder-led companies different generally. Professional managers do not have this tool at their disposal to solve organizational problems.

It requires judiciously picking when and where to leverage this power. Applying it unnecessarily will have the effect of disempowering your managers, and now you have a new organizational problem.
The audience is people learning a programming language. It’s too much to ask of them to open up a file written in a different programming language and comment out a single line?
It still is pretty good. That and the ACM CACM are my only subscriptions. I independently purchase the Spectrum only because I don't want to be associated with IEEE anymore.

My reasons of cancellation are less fiduciary and more of a policy. In 2022, IEEE published an interview of two Russian researchers and effect of the intellectual & economic blockade in Russian academia after Ukraine invasion started. It sought pleas for donation & help. Many people pointed out it was tone deaf since the ones really suffering were the Ukrainian academics who were dislocated or persecuted in their own land. IEEE never commented or retracted those interviews & several people canceled their membership in disgust.

I subscribe to Spectrum for about $50 through Omeda rather than continue giving IEEE additional membership fee. I know some part will be shared with IEEE, but I am minimizing this by conscious choice.

Do you worry that such data (not actionable or easy to interpret) is actually a net negative? The nocebo effect [1] is very real in my experience. I now leave it to a doctor to tell me the important side-effects of medication and forbid myself from Googling it further for example.

At a purely financial level, making their company the most important thing in their life for a period of maybe 5-10 years means that they have a good chance at not having to work at all for the rest of their life. Doing 5-10 years of overtime for someone else falls quite short of that in most cases.

Shared passwords should always be an exception. Prefer SSO. However the exception will always exist, in which case:

Some suggest using KeePass or equivalent, but I advise against it - too easy to copy and leave with the vault and very difficult to audit.

Find a solution that audits who had access to such password. And do your audits!

Consider rotating your shared passwords frequently, especially any high privileged ones.

If your risks warrant it, check for a PAM (privileged access manager) that acts as a middlemen and fully hides the password.

I realize I am not really answering your questions, so I'll stop here. But... SSO and proper directory management!
Energy gives mass. The Higgs mechanism only explains the mass of the elementary particles (electrons, quarks, W and Z bosons, etc). The vast majority of the mass of everything else comes from the energy of the strong force or the electromagnetism.

For example, the vast majority of the mass of a proton is explained by the immense energy of the three quarks and gluons being bound together by the strong force. The mass of the quarks themselves is only a tiny portion of that (about 1%), while gluons are massless.

The mass of the atom is further increased by the energy of the electromagnetic force. A hydrogen atom has one proton (1.6726×10^-24 g) plus an electron (9.1×10^-31 g), but the mass of the hydrogen atom is slightly higher than their sum (1.6735×10^-24 g).

The mass of a composite particle is at least partly coming from the famous E = mc².

The Higgs mechanism is ultimely just a way for elementary particles to have this type of energy as well, even in a void and without any other forces present. There is nothing special about it and spacetime, it works like any other field.

When I was younger and regularly getting around on a bike, I used to view people in large, high vehicles with contempt. I don't anymore. I see them as victims of an industry that lacks moral responsibility.

A quote from a GMC designer around the time this ridiculous SUV mania was taking hold:

"I remember wanting it to feel very locomotive - like a massive fist moving through the air"

It might not be obvious to Americans, but I find it very telling that American made vehicles are almost always the most 'aggressive', and often marketed that way. Why is that?

Over the years on HN there have been discussions mentioning the work of two pain specialists focused on the mind-body connection: John Sarno's "Healing Back Pain: The Mind-Body Connection" (1991) or "The Mindbody Prescription" (1999) and more recently Bessel van der Kolk's "The Body Keeps the Score" (2015).

At my previous work 1Password was replaced with Keeper. The main reason was better integration with SSO as Keeper can be unlocked with SSO itself so the user needs to remember just single password and for the rest either SSO was used directly or Keeper was used for other passwords.
Brilliant explanation - it puts into words and makes sense of some experiences I’ve had that are hard to articulate.
It has to be sound. I think higher frequencies = lower range but more bandwidth and vice versa. Idk about ultrasonic. A trigger requires barely any data. So I'd guess lower frequency sound waves.

Any kind of underwater communication is strictly regulated. Someone told a story in a HN comment a few days ago about someone seeking a patent for something to do with underwater coms. The patent was denied, the DoD got involved saying this tech is classified, stop using it immediately. Any ropeless fishing the gov would be involved.

So what is a "passive component"? I guess, a water wheel that drives a pump that pupms water way above the surface level would count as active?

I think it's because the Russia vs Ukraine is more consequential for the country you live in as the outcome could cause a switch to multi polar world.

As for Gaza, well it's good old fashioned anti semitism. People love to hate the Jews. It's shown in the double standards, e.g. the insane levels to which Israel has gone to reduce collateral damage that no other country has ever tried to do vs an enemy that deliberately seeks to increase collateral damage in both targeting Israeli citizens and using it's own citizens in ways that ensure their deaths.
Do keep in mind that it is relative to new aluminium. It might still be far better for the environment to use other materials.

For example, a plastic container might result in X emissions, a recycled aluminium one in 2X emissions, and a virgin aluminium one in 150X emissions. It just means we should absolutely recycle aluminium when used, but it doesn't by definition mean we should be using aluminium in the first place.

A userscript to take your attention back
Hello HN. I have a theory that doomscrolling is a lot like overeating: it becomes possible when it takes zero effort to consume the next bite of food or information. In the nature, obtaining food requires effort, so I have a thought: what if this was the case when reading news feeds?

The simplest form of effort is waiting. Below is a userscript that blurs every post and comment until you hover the cursor over it. You can install it with ViolentMonkey or TamperMonkey. The effect is that you have to wait for 3 seconds before you can read a comment. Then 3 seconds for another comment and so on. This gives you time to contemplate on the purpose of reading what you are reading.

Yeah i know what you mean. I sometimes get that impulse too.
I'm firmly in the "we need to do everything we can to reduce global warming to below 2 degrees C and potentially cause a mass extinction event" camp, and I get extremely irritated when folks fail to understand that demand is for energy, our energy distribution is interconnected via a grid, and those points make energy a fungible commodity.

Better than powering recycling plants, though, is to stop producing and consuming single-use plastics. A great way to do this is to stop subsidizing recycling programs and bake the energy cost into the product that must eventually be recycled.

If in the US you want EV adoption, raise Gas Prices a lot, maybe double/triple them. Then you will see adoption.

Subsidizes will never work, cost is the main d river. Fossil Fuel vehicles are still looked as cheaper and always will be until the cost hits the pocket book.

Plus the cost of new EVs should be less than fossil fuel cars.
