But why?

Someone has to be collecting the data. I believe that should be something our tax dollars pay for.

After the data is present, someone should make the data accessible and useable. That also seems like a good use of tax dollars.

Hiqh quality data on climate is relevant to many, many organizations and polities. That's the sort of coordination problem that I want my government to solve.

Generally you can use the back of a screwdriver like a hammer.

It works pretty well when you need to hit something with a solid object a couple times.

But they probably don’t have M5 MacBook pros idling

I’m also terrified of this.

When this happens I will have to look at other providers and downgrade my subscription. Conductor is just too powerful to give up. It’s the whole reason why I’m on a max plan.

This website, at least in dark mode, doesn't have any visible indication when text is selected.

... Which is additionally frustrating, since the links at the bottom aren't actually links (so you have to select them to copy and paste into your address bar)

I’ve wanted this produce for years. Signed up. Thank you.

Not true. NYTimes had reported on it

I love that he got in because the trunk was left open, and then couldn’t get out.

Failure mode they hadn’t thought of yet

Trying to figure out how to align this with my experiences (which match the parents’ comment), and I have an idea:

Coding contests are not like my job at all.

My job is taking fuzzy human things and making code that solves it. Frankly AI isn’t good at closing open issues on open source projects either.

I think the fact that Apple is having to fight this fight is evidence of why they were right to make a secure walled garden. I don’t know of any other service I would recommend my mother use for securely backing up her phone.

I think the UK is ultimately going to roll back this law. I don’t think this means that iCloud E2E is hostile to Apple or its users. I think Apple is going to win.

The war isn’t won by telling people to use GPG https://moxie.org/2015/02/24/gpg-and-me.html

Checks out - you aren’t in a city.

I was surprised that the original comment said they were in a city

Wild! I’ve lived in Chicago and San Francisco and have never lost power for more than an hour. And can’t remember the last time it went out at all, maybe 2 years ago?

What city do you live in?

I got to stay on my parents health care for additional years because of Obamacare - as have millions of others. That gave me flexibility to experiment and during that time I learned to program.

You have an incorrect definition of Class 3.

Class 3 allows pedal assist up to 28 and throttle to 20

I’m asking because I genuinely don’t know - what are “pages” here?

My understanding is it’s more akin to stage hypnosis, where you say bananas and they tell you all their passwords

… the articles example of a potential exploit is exfiltration of data.

All roles are networking roles

The article address this very criticism

Any clear reason to use this over chartkick?

Biking is great tho

This seems useful and well put together, but splitting it into many small pages instead of a single page that can be scrolled through is frustrating - particularly on mobile where the table of contents isn't shown by default. I stopped reading after a few pages because it annoyed me.

At the very least, the sections should be a single page each.

Sorry, "don't pay taxes" was hyperbole - what I meant was have a lower tax rate than the rest of us.

Isn't that the whole point of all sorts of tax strategies, for instance Buy, Borrow, Die?

While I understand the drawbacks, the current situation - where the ultra-wealthy don’t pay taxes because all their wealth is in unrealized gain - is even worse

I think tptacek is generally worth reading. He is one of the users with the highest karma on this site (https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=tptacek)

I’m happy to have read this, which is reason enough to publish it - but also it’s clearly generating debate so it seems like a very good thing to have published.

This is laughably incorrect. I have purchased multiple high end refrigerators in the past few years and used energy star to determine the opex of them - it influences the high end too.

Absolutely not. Trump got 49.9% to Harris’ 48.3, he didn’t even get the majority.

Biden was 51.3 to Trump’s 46.8 in 2020.

This was not a landslide. Trump did not get the majority of votes.

He has much less of a “mandate” than Biden did.

Let’s ban design review boards that mandate aesthetic choices on siding.

Came here to say this - the Story Graph is fantastic and highly recommended.

This project is started by a pebble founder, doesn’t seem like too tall of a task to me

Hmmmm. Yes but, if I hire a programmer to build me an app and no one ever uses it, I still have to pay the programmer.

This is exactly the gotcha. You paid for a service. The outcome isn’t guaranteed.
