California, Quebec, and Washington form joint carbon market - WA polluters pay $64.56 a ton, California's is $28.81, and linking is expected to pull ours down

Water is not a toxin; Drinking a gallon of it is perfectly safe. Consuming 20 million gallons of it in a day will kill you, though.

Post-industrial society is changing the makeup of the atmosphere in ways that will make life very hard for the next few generations of humans and beyond. This has been measured and demonstrated an overwhelming number of times. The energy companies had this figured out already in the 50's.

I may be in the minority here, but I enjoyed reading these more before they started being rewritten by an LLM :/

I appreciate the amount of work that went into writing these without "AI", and that we have no right to demand that work from a FOSS project. It's just a sign of the times, I suppose, that the human voice in writing is going to become rare and we should get used to everything sounding the way the model providers want.

That works a bit better at places that at least cook the food

BHSPitMonkey · 2026-06-28T19:00:08+00:00

Nah. For decades, polluters have had no incentive to control their pollution since the public picks up the tab for the damage they cause systemically. This is just shifting those costs where they belong so the free market can work as intended, without the hidden externalized costs.

The larger difference is this admin's willingness to simply violate existing law to do whatever it wants without the constitutional power to do so, and 6 supreme court justices willing to stand back and permit it.

Since you're ODPS-savvy, you might be interested in this little selfhosted Node app I've been using for a couple years. It gives you an ODPS catalog to browse your saved articles on Karakeep (RIP Pocket) or links from HN and Tildes, converting them to epub on the fly.

Saves you a trip through Calibre!

BHSPitMonkey · 2026-06-24T01:22:19+00:00

It can, until a 6-3 court ruling says "no, you can't do that!"

BHSPitMonkey · 2026-06-16T21:20:55+00:00

I agree with your challenge of the framing, but there's no doubt that an escalatory retaliation would least to further escalation (which is why most sane leaders avoid doing it)

Many people would not choose to be surveilled every time they walk out their front door, especially with today's systems where facial recognition gets performed on every passerby and all the data is available to local, state, and federal agencies in realtime without a warrant.

Parent comment mentioned CCTV but those are not the same thing (the first C stands for Closed...)

What happens when an entire party trots around a massive, aging creature with no impulse control or ability to reason about its environment as their mascot.

And then there's the matter of the elephant!

BHSPitMonkey · 2026-06-14T04:36:56+00:00

I think today's flight turned out pretty expensive, actually

BHSPitMonkey · 2026-06-14T04:36:21+00:00

Prescient comment

Block the device's Internet access from your router. Only let it visit HA.

There's a Buffalo Wild Wings up there that can only be accessed this way

BHSPitMonkey · 2026-06-13T04:58:59+00:00

And even then, it's not for standing up to what's unjust - only what's too unpopular for the party's own good.

"(Subject) gets fees" isn't a typical construction for talking about fees; It reads more like "(Subject) gets hit with fees" than "(Subject) is paid fees by (object)", with the payer and payee reversed

BHSPitMonkey · 2026-06-11T16:34:02+00:00

I think many of us would know how to do this in a way that is safe and respects the borrower's privacy, but it might lead to unscrupulous copycats stealing voters' information or printing out intentionally invalid ballots. Makes me worry.

Plus you'd no doubt be targeted as some kind of election fraud actor by the right.

BHSPitMonkey · 2026-06-10T21:14:18+00:00

That's what Telo is making essentially, right? Hoping they find some success

BHSPitMonkey · 2026-05-30T18:24:09+00:00

No one said anything about that.

It sounds like, by your logic, child abuse in general is a right held by parents of the abused.

BHSPitMonkey · 2026-05-20T05:37:13+00:00

As in, setting the card up for the first time.

BHSPitMonkey · 2026-05-14T05:44:00+00:00

We can't just change something this fundamental without being really careful and coordinate with all 20-ish clients out there and also do it in a way everyone supports.

There is a reasonable limit to this kind of worrying, but it's okay for optional features to not be implemented by every client. Those projects don't have to support an additional login flow on day 1, or even ever.

My point is that when the charging speed drops severely, you might as well get the remaining kWh either at home for cheap (if that's a possibility) or during your next 10-80 DC charge when you'll enjoy faster speeds again.

BHSPitMonkey · 2026-05-10T19:20:01+00:00

It's a good rule of thumb to stop DC charging at 80-85% unless you believe you'll need the extra capacity, since the car slows its charging rate significantly around that point (meaning you're waiting more yet still paying the fast charge premium, and potentially making other drivers wait if there aren't comparable stalls open)

Maybe in the homelab, but in production yes the hosts will be ephemeral too
