wait, how many workers fall outside the 16-65 range??

Reinforcement training. Camps that leave too much moop don't get invited back.

Bet Claude could build that for you in 5 mins

data centers drive up the cost of power. basic supply and demand.

instead of blocking data centers, we need to scale up energy production. the solution is to get rid of all the red tape that makes it so impossible to build in America.

quality of life metrics are highly correlated to the availability of energy.

It's wild to see how much people allow their dislike for Elon to impact their critical thinking skills. There aren't some mysterious or unknowable stats. They're being constantly collected and shared with regulators and the general public alike.

"90% fewer serious injury crashes for Waymo vs humans"

I said "self-driving software" because I was trying to avoid eliciting a knee-jerk reaction from all you Elon haters.

Sorry, 8x not 10x

I miss the days when Hacker News would root for startups and brave innovators instead of the stogy old incumbents

You're telling us that data centers are more sensitive to downtime than airplanes??? That makes no sense.

All of the aeroderivatives were designed in the 70's before we had computer modeling to help optimize the designs. It's not that crazy to assume that we can design a better and more efficient turbine today with all of the help of modern technology.

We have an abundance of natural gas and a shortage of electricity.

What other options do they have? They've been sanctioned to the point where they have few options left but to turn to crime.

"creating software for free that largely benefits large corporations"

Who cares. The end result of this is that we all get to use amazing software, often for free.

Think of your open source contributions as a gift to all of humanity. I wouldn't get too hung up on the fact that bad people can use it. Hammer makers don't add conditions on who can buy their products, even if it could be used as a murder weapon. Take solace in the fact that your work is creating far more good than evil.

You're increasing the rate of innovation in the world. And we're all grateful for it.

I love the convenience of Heroku but hate their predatory pricing. Who's fixing this?

There are a ton of interesting use-cases for public city data. When I was an Airbnb host, I built an early alert system to send me email if my address was ever reported or under investigation. The government moves at a snails pace, so anyone who was paying attention would have plenty of time to cure any issues before any formal investigation was even started. I even had a personal dashboard showing how the enforcement office operated, how many investigators they had, which neighborhoods were getting the most enforcement actions, stats on how cases were resolved, how long they took, etc.

I switched from Slack to Discord back in 2017 and I can't imagine ever going back. Their free offering is better than what you get for $$$$ from Slack.

Slack is designed for small groups of people that all know and trust each other. That security model falls apart when you scale to large low-trust organizations. Discord was designed for strangers and offers far more granular controls.

They offer infinite search. Unlimited users. And it's free! Can't recommend it enough.

Modern software is layers upon layers of open-source packages and libraries written by tens of thousands of unrelated engineers. How do you write a spec for that?

Yes. Except our government is the largest buyer.

I've seen the invite-only marketplaces where these exploits are sold. You can buy an exploit to compromise any piece of software or hardware that you can imagine. Many of them go for millions of dollars.

There are known exploits to get root access to every phone or laptop in the world. But researchers won't disclose these to the manufacturers when they can make millions of dollars selling them to governments. Governments won't disclose them because they want to use them to spy on their citizens and foreign adversaries.

The manufacturers prefer to fix these bugs, but aren't usually willing to pay as much as the nation states that are bidding. All they do is drive up the price. Worse, intelligence agencies like the NSA often pressure or incentivize major tech companies to keep zero-days unpatched for exploitation.

It's a really hard problem. There are a bunch of perverse incentives that are putting us all at risk.

It's a classic timing attack. You can detect which Cloudflare datacenter is "closest" (ie. least network latency) to a targeted Signal or Discord user.

The speed of light is the main culprit here.

Back in 2013 I discovered that you could use clickjacking to trick someone into buying anything you wanted from Amazon (assuming they were signed in). It took them almost a year to fix the issue. They never paid me a bounty.

You can change the visibility of the target page so they wouldn't know

It could be preloaded

There is no one over 40 playing in the NBA. Is that due to age discrimination as well?

The original RSA paper is only 7 pages long and is worth reading.

And what about the extra costs fighting fraud now that they've advertised this policy?

In other words, they are socializing the costs. Servers and electricity aren't free. Wouldn't it be better for the customer if they had no accident forgiveness and passed those cost savings along? Instead, you are paying for other peoples mistakes plus all the extra overhead caused from fraud that they incentivized.

they're just sharing information. ie. protected speech.

Rented a car today and had the same question while waiting in line for 3o mins. If getaround can let me just walk to a car, unlock it, and drive away surely the car rental companies can figure out how to streamline the entire experience too!

Hmm, but how much does his Cayman Trust own?
