I think this is where we're butting heads, because I think this is an ambiguous term.
I think the biggest cost is labor. Dumpster diving for speakers and then spending dozens of hours in high skilled labor to replace the insides is actually hilarious. I wonder how much he'd charge a client for a project this size? Probably many thousands of dollars.

But I can't knock a man for having a hobby. Clearly they're optimizing for fun and nerd cred, not cost.
Depends where you work. Judging from reading HN, 95% of all devs here are writing webshitapps for companies that don't give a flying eff about development, just profits. I develop embedded hardware for tier 1 automotive manufacturers, and we have to adhere to several ISO standards, and a number of tools for managing documentation and code hygiene. Traceability of requirements, security, functional safety, and risk assessments are associated with every single decision and every single code commit. It is a lot of documentation, but I'm a pedant and I love it. It is a design process for adults, by adults.
The economic constraints you are referring to is the terrible ROI on housing. Ask yourself what economic value a house produces compared to a farm, factory, or research lab. The answer is almost nothing.

Socialist states don't like building anything more than the bare minimum to house workers. They get nothing for it (economically and ideologically) and the land saved can be used for actual productive things.
Yeah but there's a pretty important caveat here. The person who's actually doing the listening is the only person's opinion who matters about the quality. This is very much of a case of "if it sounds good it is good" That's why you're doing here because that is literally the only person who needs to be satisfied with this arrangement.
I'm not sure if that's necessarily a fair assessment as Ford's laid out plan to get from the current 40% loss to 8% profit is pretty reasonable.

Of that 40 percentage points, 20 of them are directly attributable to economies of scale. As they sell additional units those costs will amortize out. i.e. the more they sell the less they lose.

They expect to pick up another 15 points via engineering changes that will unify a lot of parts between the different product lines. They apparently initially just focused on shipping the vehicles so each model has a lot of bespoke parts that could semi-trivially be reworked to de-duplicate them between product lines.

That gets you down to 5% losses. The bulk of the remaining 13 points they expect to pick up via battery design improvements and cost reductions in their supply chain.

And their stated deadline for this is the end of 2026 so it's not exactly like they intend this to take ages. Rather they expect to achieve this within a handful of model revisions.
They could have called it the GT-64, seeing how it is 64 inches tall and out-accelerates the GT-40.
There's the built-in `packadd editexisting` to take care of that; On Unix https://github.com/gioele/vim-autoswap could be more convenient.
Free speech only means you are not prevented from expressing yourself. It does not mean freedom from consequences.

While I don’t condone violence that is not the only possible consequence. If you call me an asshole that is your right, but if I disinvite you from the party I was planning as a result that is not a ‘free speech issue’.
I think social media even promotes this hyper therapy and medication seeking behavior. My guess it probably even creates a kind of Overton window sort of thing for physicians, big pharma notwithstanding. It’s very easy for people to get prescriptions for these drugs and a lot of doctors seem to think “patients reports depression so I prescribed SSRI” or whatever is popular.
Right, but only in recent quarters because of heavy incentives. It's been a disaster otherwise.

https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/slowest-selling-ev-i...

the Ford Mach E is now the slowest selling EV in US and 3rd slowest selling vehicle of any kind with a 362 market day supply on dealer lots.

https://qz.com/ford-mustang-mach-e-sales-price-cut-discount-...

the increase in Mach-E sales didn’t really start until late February when it announced price cuts of up to $8,100 on leftover 2023 Mach-Es. When the discounts hit, demand skyrocketed. Since then sales of the electric crossover have nearly tripled.

Plus, 'regular' Mustang sales are down big time as well. Last year was the worst sales numbers in the history of the car (60 years)

That's a pretty odd take on history. You know women have always worked, right? Female life pre-20th century wasn't permanent housewifeing. They often worked from home in cottage industries, ran shops, took part in family owned businesses (often running the financial side) and many other jobs.

The reason there was pressure to raise a family - for both women and men - had nothing to do with gender equality. It was because there was no welfare state so people relied on their families and extended families to take care of them in old age and sickness.
Show HN: Employees.fyi – updated with 2022 and 2023 U.S. workforce demographics
Hi HN! We previously shared Employees.fyi back in 2022 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31062815). We have since updated with more data, covering up through 2023.

The URL contains your current selection. Just copy the URL and share it!

Some examples:

* A comparison of 2022 data for the "Professionals" job category across the Information industry, Facebook, and Netflix: https://employees.fyi/?year=2022&job=PROFESSIONALS&reference...

* A comparison of 2022 data for all job categories across the Finance and Insurance industry, BlackRock, and PayPal: https://employees.fyi/?year=2022&job=ALL&reference=52&compan...

* A comparison of 2023 data for the "First/Mid Officials & Managers" category across Starbucks and UPS (no reference data is available yet): https://employees.fyi/?year=2023&job=MIDMANAGERS&reference=5...

* A comparison of 2021 data for the "Laborers" job category across the Retail Trade industry, Amazon, and Walmart: https://employees.fyi/?year=2021&job=LABORERS&reference=45&c...

We built Employees.fyi to make it easy to compare U.S. workforce demographic data across companies and against industry reference data.
In the U.S., the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) requires the collection and submission of demographic workforce data. We collected and organized the publicly available federal data from the EEOC as well as publicly available EEO-1 submissions from individual companies. By doing so, we hope to make it easy to compare U.S. workforce demographic data across companies and against industry reference data.

Let us know what feedback you have for us! Are there features you would find useful, such as more easily comparing a single company over time? What additional data would you want to be able to look at?

It can only exist in high margin companies. The trick is to find business environments with some 'slack' in the funding, because that slack tends to propagate. I have made a career out of finding environments with high slack and avoiding environments with low slack.

How have you been living without a car? Do you live in a huge city or something?
Can someone please explain to me why we chose to treat one mode of transportation as the most privileged?

- Pedestrians are expected to yield to cyclists (de facto)

- Motorists are expected to yield to cyclists

- Cyclists can choose to bike at a slow pace on a busy highway, taking up the whole lane (motorists will be cited for impeding traffic)

- They are allowed to bike on the road at night with barely any visibility aids

- They aren't required to have liability insurance or pass any traffic exams

- The police is very lax about enforcing traffic laws for them

I am all for a good bike ride in the mountains, where there is no traffic, but surely the way we treat cyclists is unreasonable?

Anyone who has read about or experienced instruments and music halls that were made before the commodification of electricity?
I agree that wp engine is taking advantage, but that's where negotiations would pay off instead of the bruhaha we're left with. It wouldn't be that hard to present WP engine with some stats "x resources used by WP engine clients" WP engine has the resources to either mirror the plugin/update resources and patch the server URLs in code, or support WordPress.org with donations to offset their resource usage. But I have no idea if anything like that happened before Matt went all 'guns blazing' and now we get to reflect on his past blunders in great detail.
From my 40 years in the field, I see much the same trend. I wouldn’t call 5% of developers “genius”—maybe 1% are true geniuses. Those folks can be an order of magnitude better at certain tasks—doing things no one else can—but only within a limited sphere. They also bring their own baggage, like unique personalities. Still, I believe there’s always room for genius on a big team, even with all the complications.

Typically, upper management wants smooth, steady output. But the better your people are, the bumpier that output gets—and those “one-percenters” can produce some pretty extreme spikes. If you think of it like a graph, the area under the curve (the total productivity) can be way bigger for a spiky output than for a flat, low-level one. So even if those spikes look messy, they often deliver a ton of long-term value.
Unfortunately, while this is a fine way to start experimenting with Python, the Linux system installation of Python is really not suitable for development in general, aside from developing software meant for your local use as part of the system.

In particular, if you're based on Debian, the system Python likely lacks several pieces by default that the Python team considers standard: `venv` (https://software.codidact.com/posts/291789) and `tkinter` (https://software.codidact.com/posts/291791) standard libraries, and Pip (not part of the standard library, but has privileged status - https://software.codidact.com/posts/291787). You'll also run into problems (especially with Python 3.11 onward - https://software.codidact.com/posts/291839) trying to install third-party libraries without making a separate environment first (which you should do anyway).
You think you're taking a side, but really you are taking the corporations side: By saying organizations and the people who run them have no morals, you've lowered the requirements and norms of organizations and humanity.

It turns out people have morals - it's an intrinsic part of humanity, especially as social beings - and they can choose them and act on them, and they are responsible for doing so in any society. Somehow, you just let them off the hook.
When my scripts outgrow bash, they almost always wind up in Python.

That said, Sonnet 3.5 had gotten me much further in bash than was possible before - and it's all really maintainable too. I highly suggest consulting with Sonnet on your longer scripts, even just asking it "what would you suggest to improve".
I agree. The command line IPython by Fernando Perez was very inspired by Mathematica. He used Mathematica as a grad student and wanted a similar environment. In 2006-2007 Tom Boothby, Alex Clemesha and I wrote the first general used interactive web notebook called "The Sage Notebook", which became very popular with SageMath users over the years; the first version of Jupyter looked very similar to the Sage notebook. The Sage notebook was heavily inspired by everything around Google Wave and Google Docs (at the time), but definitely also by Mathematica's notebook. In particular, Alex Clemesha had recently been a physics undergrad and was a heavy Mathematica (and "Web Mathematica") user, and wanted a similar environment in a browser.
It's not an inexpensive RWD car with a V8, for the most part.

It's an SUV that can't out-run a Tesla. It's barely faster than the 4-cylinder Mustang

(Except for the most recent model (2024) that you can finally get a performance add-on with ($995). The previous model only lets you accelerate for about five seconds under full power)
Alternatively, it’s a way for bad faith actors to spread their beliefs while not having to worry about their reputation. Many people with power are only hurt through public opinion, so this is the way they try to gain control over that.
This is pretty revisionist. Slavery wasn't some ancillary factor that just happened to exist in Texas. It was core to the anglo side of the Texas revolution. The War Party was strongly proslavery and the increasing (Mexican) federal push towards abolition was a key point for them. They especially hated a Mexican predecessor to the Emancipation Proclamation called the Guerrero decree that (attempted to) free most slaves in the northern states. After independence, they wrote slavery into the constitution and some of the first laws passed prohibited slaveowners from freeing slaves without government approval. The events in Texas were just one of half a dozen revolutions opposed to Mexican federal centralization around the same time.

None of this was politically palatable after the American Civil War and people certainly weren't going to focus on the non-anglo sides of the revolution that weren't so deeply proslavery, so the narrative that's taught in schools was sanitized.
I've heard about it because that's how we lost American Manufacturing like SunBeam, sold off for parts. But hey deregulation and greed was good in the 80's, and no one who should have stopped it, did.
Besides the fact that you also need packet traversal via a multitude of layer 3 protocols a lot of which would pass through some corp cloud.
And the net neutrality is dead in the USA.

As for the repositories, there are no good SLA terms for such storage. Nobody offers this service because it's expensive to offer. Not on this scale. So if you need it, you have to invest a lot in hardware or colocation or specialized clouds.
Plus admin. A whole datacenter, and suddenly you're an ant vs three goliaths.

I understand the attack.

Consider this wrinkle: Thmoas's email provider is @gmail.com. Assume it is pretty well known the Gmail will only put email in his inbox if it is DKIM signed. (I run my own email home server. I can assure you this is true now unless you are someone like @debian.org. Unsigned email is simply dropped by most of the major players.)

You send the incriminating email. It's accepted by Gmail as it's DKIM signed. You rotate your DKIM keys. Mallory now steals in the @gmail inbox.

I can think of only two defences for you now. One is Google accepted the email without a valid DKIM signature - which you say is your main defence. The other is someone else sent the email by getting control of your email account / server / DKIM. I personally would find it much easier to believe you lost control of your email account than Google accepted a badly DKIM signed email from some random.

I still think this is a classic example of the XKCD rubber hose comic. The cryptographers are suffering from tunnel vision. They focus on exclusively on the well known properties of their beloved cryptography. It's odd they keep doing that. Modern cryptography is mature, well understood, and for the most part unbreakable. The weakest link is invariably elsewhere.
This is very cool. The Aaron Swartz piece is powerful.

I just came from a funeral. We all leave digital footprints, some more than others and some more intentionally than others. But it is still so transient relative to the longevity of the human race.

We have things like clock of the long now or whatever, but we really don’t have much that will stand as physical documentation of individuals. And the Terracotta Army is a really interesting analog to something like everyone having their own homepage memorialized forever.

What's an "avaricious premium payer"?
I would suspect the physiological base of burnout is the depletion of mainly B vitamins in the brain. When you look at the Krebs cycle, the main energetic reaction in every cell, B vitamins play crucial role whether they act as catalysts of enzymes (B1, B2), provide electron transport (B2/B3 to FAD/NAD+) or are required by sub-processes of the cycle (B5, B7, B12). Being under constant stress is known to deplete B vitamins and at some point their lowered availability starts inhibiting higher cognitive tasks in favor of just survival. Diagnosing this is problematic as serum levels don't tell much about tissue levels.
> if the US expands nato right to the border of russia then they retaliate.

US didn't expand NATO, those countries begged and pleased and threatened to get in and the US and other NATO countries finally threw up their hands and said fine. Note they didn't build any bases there or station significant amount of troops there.

> ukraine fought a war against their own citizens in the eastern half

To portray any part of the Ukranian war as a civil war even 2014-2021 is wrong. Ukraine fought Russia. At most there were a handful of far right and criminals who were willing to fight their own country. Girkin the FSB agent who took the first steps in the war admitted that if it hadn't been for Russia Ukraine would just have arrested the handful of troublemakers.

> when they sympathized with opening up to russia

I feel like you don't know very much about Immigration or business between Ukraine and Russia before Russia invaded, things were pretty open. It's that Russia ruined it by invading.

> a majority there perceives themselves as russians.

If you don't know the demographics or identities of Ukraine then please don't make stuff up. The majority considered themselves ethnically Ukranian in almost all parts of eastern Ukraine including Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts. And of course ethnicity isn't politics there are shit ton of soldiers politicians and ordinary Ukranian citizens of russian origin supporting their country. The head commander of Ukraine is an ethnic Russian who moved to Ukraine as a teenager and still has family there.

> this is not just whataboutism - if you don't fight for resources then you'll have to buy them for a very high price. and ukraine is very rich in resources.

Russia has many more resources.
Granted this war has been built on idiocy but invading Ukraine for resources makes no sense considering how much it would have business/expenses it would have cost even if Russia could have won

> as is greenland.

Greenland is militarily useful because of its location. It already has a US base so the status quo is good for the US

The problem with people who claim the Russian war on Ukraine is more complicated is that they dont seem interested in the actual complexity as opposed to the Russian propaganda.

Americans on average make nearly 60% more than Canadians right now, not including the massive difference in taxation (you hit like 40% total tax rate at like $70k USD in Canada).

Keep in mind when you google Canadian tax rates, you see the federal rate. The provincial rate is another 10-15% on top, plus sales taxes which can total over 10%.
I wrote about a common architectural pattern (using api.example.com) that's causing unnecessary CORS preflight requests and doubling API Gateway costs. The post covers the problem, solution, and alternative approaches for when you can't change domains.

Python has two public ecosystems that count: PyPI and conda-forge (for those using Conda).

There are several package managers available, because people have wildly varying views of what "package management" includes for Python development, and wildly varying needs for those tools. But all of these involve managing the same set of packages, which overwhelmingly are available on PyPI.

It's also perfectly possible to participate in the ecosystem without anything that could reasonably be called a package manager.
