It's a cost of selling a kwh on an existing market with relatively low renewables penetration and supported by fossils. It's not a true aggregate cost of an energy system dominated by, say, solar. Imagine we turn of all fossil gen

I can't help but think that it sounds like productised Gell-Mann Amnesia. If a system is useless and/or counterproductive in areas you're an expert in, but appears useful in areas that you aren't, shouldn't it be

Yes. There are exceptions, but they are few and far between. I do have a few heuristics for pure recipe books: 1) the recipes have short lists of ingredients. There is a tendency to include obscure or hard to get ingredients for the sake of

It's just silt churned up by high tides. When you're on the river, you can easily see that bits shielded from the turbulent flow, where the silt has a chance to settle down, are crystal clear. You can also see eels, seals, cormora

Those are just stories that made it to press and that I was able to dig up quickly. Durov did visit St Petersburg from time to time, it was an open secret when I lived there. As for the last story: I was a bit sloppy about that link, the st

Durov was seen in StPetersburg for years after the "exile" [1], and Telegram was being developed from exactly the same office it was before the "exile", one floor below Vkontakte. The story Durov tells is at the very lea

Look at the scale of the numbers involved, profits are around 15% across developed economies [1], which is not nearly enough to offset the difference between average Mongolian and what you'd consider a decent QoL. I don't see any

That's a popular argument that falls apart when you look at the aggregate level of material wealth on this planet. Using GDP per capita as a passable proxy: current world GDP per capita is around $12k afaik, which is about where Mongol

Test/debug/fix against what ? Writing code is fundamentally not about tests or debugging, it's about formalising informal requirements into hard constraints. To do that, you need to understand business, human, and technical

Companies are allowed to keep data necessary for their other statutory obligations, like taxes or KYC. Otherwise it'd be a get out of jail free card for fraudsters and sanction evaders.

Why is that bad? If the business survived for long enough to have that problem, that's a win, not a failure. Being killed or at least hobbled by unnecessary complexity, on the other hand, is a thing in way more businesses than we like

The only point I disagree with is Terraform. It is brilliant for this exact scenario because it's self documenting. When you do need to update those SPF records in two years time, having it committed as a Terraform file is much better

Networking issues and even hardware issues are very unlikely if you can fit everything into one box, and you can get a lot in one box nowadays (TB+ RAM, 128+ core servers are now commodity). MTBF on servers is on the order of years, so ha

Not really, there are plenty of plugins that dismiss the popups automatically without consenting to marketing. But generally we should press our legislators to require a universal interface that then can be automated, not try to win a cat-a

DNT is ~useless because it's opt-out, whereas "auxiliary", non-essential tracking is opt-in under GDPR. Websites don't need cookie consent dialogs if they only use cookies to do things that don't need to be consente

That is literally what GDPR is. Somehow it got reduced to cookie banners in HN psyche, but the whole idea of GDPR is to make sure that the data can be collected and used for well defined purposes that are either necessary to provide a servi

Would you consider the entire European Union a minority of the legislators? Because that's what GDPR is designed to do, make identifying customers well controlled and expensive whatever the method. Granted, the enforcement should be st
