What are your issues with paddle? I found them perfectly fine fwiw.

Why is this related to thresholds if you're using a merchant of record?

You can't do this on country codes, if you're going to do this I would suggest whitelisting country's you know not to charge vat anywhere inside the country rather than vice versa.

I am pretty shocked at that Romanian court ruling though. It seems like the entire questioning of the election outcomes was motivated by EU leadership not liking the result of democracy.

The decision to not stop at redoing the election but to then ban the candidate seems motivated by the fact that opinion polls show him to still be winning even today despite the alleged “election interference”, months after he won the first election.

It’s weird seeing the EU conduct elections sort of like Russia does, ironically. In the past I viewed the EU as supporting things like free speech and democracy in the same way America does.

Extreme Heat Linked to Accelerated Aging in Older Adults, Study Finds
Sure, but to what degree does that wealth include the things that really matter? Everyone has more widgets but there's not enough room in the places people want to live, most people are working unsatisfying jobs, and many people can't find love.

I bought lights-out manageable 400 lbs (lots of kWh) of rack mounted sealed lead acid batteries in the form of UPSes with expansions for less than $600.

The other thing is that rewiring a main panel for generator and/or solar to provide emergency power to a subset of circuits is preferred to simply trying to power everything with a tiny battery pack. This usually means adding a subpanel and an automatic transfer switch, which is a heck of a lot simpler than running extension cords through the house and much more fine-grained than powering everything with backfeed.

Sometimes I do find it bizzare when western media praises a theocratic absolute monarchy like Saudi Arabia for “modernizing” (by allowing women to drive and allowing them to not have chaperones) while simultaneously these same media organizations accuse a constitutional liberal democracy like India (which has strict separation of powers and an active independent Supreme Court) of somehow being authoritarian or fascist or some other slur.
My guess is the battery will come with some sort of remotely controlled switch that disconnects the house from the grid, before the battery starts supplying power.
Absolutely true, yes. I mentioned UPSs to represent the low-end of the UPS/power station/generator spectrum, with the Anker SOLIX F3800 Plus at the higher-end (which costs only 2.6 Pikas). The video I linked to does a solid job of evaluating the pointlessness of using a more comparable $500 1.8kW Anker SOLIX C1000 for the same use case Pika is pushing, which is what prompted my skepticism.
Good point.

Is there in fact a limited supply of energy and physical materials?
If so, the universe is finite and thus zero-sum as bounded by the efficiency of use.

Do humans asses things more through impartial objectivity or via relativistic comparison?

If yes to finite resources and relative assesment, we live in a zero-sum world.

If no to either, we do not (ie, if we have functionally unlimited resource abundance, or if we don't care about how we are situated relative to our neighbors).
I used to enjoy playing around with audio programs like Soundtracker/Protracker. Those programs were the first time I was blown away by what a computer could do.
Media sensationalism is everywhere. But I’ve become especially distrustful of these rankings and labels from random think tanks or nonprofits. A good example is the one the other day from “civicus that claimed civic freedoms were disappearing in the US even though no law has changed that would affect civil rights. When you look at their report it basically complains about political decisions rather than civic freedoms. I imagine the bias is 10x worse for India.
Panhandle: it's wackos all the way down.
> Why aren't you using this logic to argue that they should use Delphi or TurboPascal because Anders Hejlsberg created those?

as you know full well, Delphi and Turbo Pascal don't have strong library ecosystems, don't have good support for non-Windows platforms, and don't have a large developer base to hire from, among other reasons. if Hejlsberg was asked why Delphi or Turbo Pascal weren't used, he might give one or more of those reasons. the question is why he didn't use C#, for which those reasons don't apply.
Happy Birthday, YC! I've been a regular participant in the HN community since 2012. All these years HN has inspired me and during this time I've learned a lot. I started back in the days of building FIDO, when the first point networks appeared. Of course, I’d love to see more communities and fewer bots, but progress is unstoppable. I wish the HN community to thrive and remain strong for many years to come.

I'm creating a mobile reader (iOS app) specifically for HN and if you want to join to speed up the process, you're Welcome!

For those who don't have iOS, I started a Twitch stream for the vibe.

PS: I fear that I’ll never get into YC and in the future there will be no more startups, only an AI, and I’ll have to work as a battery cell in the Matrix.
I agree we need a universal option for both home batteries & V2H. ConnectDER is working to be that standard. Tesla’s Backup Switch was supposed to be open, but unfortunately hasn’t been opened for others to integrate with.
The Guardian article is interesting because it helped untangle the idea of liberalism and democracy in my mind. How did they become so deeply linked?
This isn't really related, as I understand it.

The Norwegian VOEC system[1] is modeled on the EU IOSS system[2].

As with normal import declarations, missing documentation means you cannot claim any exceptions etc. Thus if the store forgot to register the VOEC number when they shipped the item, the one filing the declaration, say the postal service, has to assume VAT hasn't been paid.

Now, if this had been a normal customs declaration, one could simply submit a corrected declaration with the correct documentation later. However, since such low-value goods aren't declared using a normal customs declaration, one cannot do this.

They also don't want spend their resources cleaning up someone else's mess, thus they leave it up to the shop that made the error to fix the problem by reimbursing you the VAT they collected.

And yes, as a customer this sucks, as the shop often will just shrug and claim they don't know or they did the right thing.

That's a pretty misleading clickbait title. TypeScript isn't getting 10x faster; the TypeScript compiler is getting 10x faster.

I would argue it needs editing, as it violates the HN guideline:

I agree that this doesn't seem useful for time of use arbitrage.

I think it depends on what your electric outages look like. Short outages, a desktop ups probably makes sense. But if you regularly get 12-36 hour outages, this might be a reasonable product for you. Personally, I expect two nines of utility power, so something like this could possibly work (but I already have a 35kW propane fired standby generator)
Yes. China's five year plans are translated into English and are quite readable.
Here's the 14th Five Year Plan, 2021-2025.[1]
Wikipedia has a summary.[2]

This is China's business plan. The top level is expanded into more detailed plans at lower levels. For example, here's the plan for Fujian province.[3] Further down, here's the transition plan for IPv6.[4]

You can go back and read previous five-year plans. The success rate for the individual goals is reasonably high.

Huh? I host my domain with Namecheap and it's a simple curl command to update my DNS daily on my Pi. Why all this?
I think that only applies if people have the option of selecting the things that they actually want. From what I've observed it's more often the case that people don't give up the things that they value less for the things that they value more. Instead, they give up the only option they have to trade (e.g. labor at jobs that they despise) in exchange for the only option they can trade for to survive (e.g. products that keep them alive but provide little satisfaction).
Traditional UPSs don't tend to advertise capacities, so I may have an incorrect perception of what a good Wh/$ is, but isn't 1.6kWh really damn good for a $1k UPS? How'd you guys manage to pack that much capacity in at that price point?

Might be suitable for a rack assuming all the cloud bullshit can be turned off.
Words and desires are easy. Crafting, marketing and enacting policy to achieve the goals set by your words and desires is difficult. The world is complex and reacts in complex ways, but try to say that to a Trump voter and get called a disconnected elitist.
The fees come from the bank and are the same on stripe so, that part is just how the game works.

I see the 'not fighting disputes' from both sides; as a vendor it sucks, but for paddle fighting them is a loose loose game, it would cost them say 50-200$ in time to handle each one and they get some of the liability for it too, also imagine paddle gets really good at fighting chargebacks - where do you think the fraudsters will go to process payments?

As I get older, I realize increasingly that there is a huge gap between how most people think the government works and how it actually works... Also, the government and other entities which benefit from the incongruity spend a massive amount of effort constructing narratives to obscure the discrepancy in the public eye.

If you boil it down and peek beneath the many layers of complexity and misdirection, reality is disturbingly dark and you wonder how society functions at all and how so many people can be fooled into believing surface narratives... But in a way, it's because people are fooled that society can function as-is, in spite of its dysfunction. If people knew how the system really worked, it would have to change.

IMO, the good news is that generally, when the system is forced to change to become more transparent, things improve. But the system is always at the edge; constantly gaslighting the public as much as it can get away with at any given time. The state rarely apologizes for past mistakes; unless it serves some new agenda which it benefits from (e.g. the mistake happened under different leadership).

There should be some rule like "The state is precisely as corrupt as it can get away with." Or "The state is corrupt proportionally to how passive and delusional its citizens are."
And your strategy of fueling the stalemate would have this go on indefinitely, war monger.
"Back" as in undermining EV manufacturing? And non-fossil power generation?

"Back" as in massively increasing input costs?

"Back" as in alienating close allies who are a large part of our customer base?

"Back" as in repeatedly disrupting the supply chain by flip-flopping on tariffs without a clear plan?

"Back" as in undermining research across the board?

The current policy will not employ lots of people. It will have lots of people out of work fairly soon, if we continue on the current path. It will diminish our industrial base further, and reset our manufacturing skills to the 80s or earlier. But hey, at least toy manufacturers are hiring, that's a really important industry.

Setting aside any questions about intentions, the effects of the current policies are hugely deleterious.
Great reference!

>Lord Farquaad's appearance [in the film Shrek] may be inspired by Michael Eisner, the then-CEO of The Walt Disney Company, owing to producer Jeffrey Katzenberg's animosity toward his former employer. Others had noticed a resemblance to Richard III of England. The name Farquaad is thought to be a way to get away with saying "fuckwad" in a family-friendly film. Farquaad happens to be similar to the surname of film animator Mark Farquhar. Some think Farquaad was based on the 7th US President, Andrew Jackson, as he forced a group from their land (Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act in 1830).

The BJP is certainly authoritarian and fascistic, this is not contested. The country itself though probably isn’t. They failed to get an outright majority in the recent elections, and perhaps the main reason they still win is the opposition is completely incapable of reform (like the OP said they keep putting up members of the Gandhi family despite them losing elections repeatedly).
The Tesla MID is in the Tesla Gateway or Backup Switch meter socket adapter. The Pila MID is onboard inside the battery. Pila can push power back through the plug.

When utility power drops, Pila & Powerwall react exactly the same. They both detect the outage, open the MID, and power load downstream of the MID. In the case of Pila it powers loads downstream / plugged into Pila.
You don't know anything about me. How can you even make that assessment? See, this is another example of modern manager bullshit. I certainly hope you don't lackadaisically asses your team in the same flippant, emotional manner. Here's another thing, you probably aren't even allowed to answer the important questions. When are layoffs? Is there an M&A going on? What projects are going to be tanked in the coming year? Who are all those new people walking around? It's all fluff and you know it. Do you make them sit in the little uncomfortable chairs in your office across from you after you ask them to shut the door? If you do, you probably should rethink the environment you're setting up. Do you even shake their hand when they come in? Managers today are so bad at building team unity and trust. I've been on both sides of this table and I know exactly what this is.

Want to have more interaction with your team? Try taking them out to lunch once in a while. It works wonders for team unity. If the boss doesn't let you use the corporate card, use your own.

Aren't you too pessimistic? 1 kg of rice costs somewhere around $2 here and you won't eat it in a day. So with $20-30 you can have a month worth amount of rice. You don't need thousands of dollars to survive.

This is not a fast way to sort on GPU. The fastest known sorting algorithm on CUDA is Onesweep, which uses a lot of sophisticated techniques to take advantage of GPU-style parallelism and work around its limitations.

My recent handwritten gaming experience was Subnautica, where I kept a piece of paper and jotted down rough locations of the points of interest as a way to keep track of directions and distance (shipwreck 5000 meters south by southeast etc.) It was nice, I'm glad they didn't include an in-game map.

It's wild to me that this is a crime. To be clear, I understand that it is, but I don't want us to engage with the letter of the law, I want to engage with the spirit of "does it make sense that putting a sticker on something is a crime"

This is literally something I see 5-year-olds do (put stickers on property)

Like, I get there's risk to the paint of the vehicle, but we're talking about putting a sticker (light adhesive) on a vehicle. And describing that this could rise to a felony.

This is an example that at least 4 people think obviously rises to the level of a felony.

Spray paint, I get, yes vandalism. Stickers, baffle me.
Also, what does it say about your vehicle, that removing a sticker from it takes off the paint.

What a time to be alive.
taking as true your claim about the cost of scrubbing (I have no idea what that costs or what other constraints there might be there)
https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/sources-greenhouse-gas-emis...
that won't fix transportation, agriculture or residential/commercial leaving you with affecting 48% of the emissions and of that 48% it will not be possible for all of it to scrub (not to mention industry is mobile so can move fairly easily to places that don't carbon tax and don't require scrubbers if push comes to shove, which will drive the electric demand portion of industry to those countries as well) so your actual affectable percent of emission is much lower than 48%.

Your best bet is what I outlined (and it's not exclusive you can try and incentivize scrubbing at the same time) because demand for transport and residential doesn't easily move as longa s the people are there, so if you manage to shift say, 15-20% of transport to biking and walking and give people denser options that maintains usable square footage (i.e. not 400 square foot concrete shit boxes in the sky) and another 10-20% to much more efficient public transit, all of a sudden you've had a massive impact and made people super sensitive to carbon prices because they have viable alternatives to the 30 km a day suburbia car commute to the 2500 square foot single family detached house exposted on all sides to the weather. Instead they can, for example get a 2200 square foot 3 story row house only exposed on the roof and narrow front/back, or similar in a 3 story condo complex with one fire exit internal and one elevator allowing enough square footage to make something similar to the row house something that gets built.
If you’re not making at least $1 million a year — don’t worry about this yet.

I know that sounds glib but I firmly believe that the rise of “merchant of record” startups like Paddle with large outbound sales teams has scared the bejeezus out of a whole generation of founders.
