Let’s say your goal was to improve the electric vehicle charging network. Is there a reasonable way to create a government incentive for gas stations to add charging spots in their parking areas?


Are there estimates for how much it cost to run?

What happened in ‘06?


Intel stopped using Pentium 4's NetBurst architecture and switched to Core derived from Pentium III

High power consumption and heat intensity, the resulting inability to effectively increase clock rate, and other shortcomings such as an inefficient pipeline were the primary reasons why Intel abandoned the NetBurst microarchitecture and switched to a different architectural design, delivering high efficiency through a small pipeline rather than high clock rates.

The Intel Core line of CPUs was launched in January 2006.


Is it common to refer to all hominids (here: homo habilis and homo erectus) as humans? For some reason I thought the term human was limited to homo sapiens (195k years old)

What actively used financial instrument today has the longest time horizon? 100 years?

There have been instances of 1000 year (millennium) bonds, such as Danish energy company Orsted in 2017, Canadian Pacific Corporation in 1883(!), etc.

100 year (century) bonds are a bit more common - Disney issued a century bond in 1993, for instance. Argentina (!) issued a century bond in 2017, which it defaulted on last year, leaving creditors with around 55 cents on the dollar.

In general, long term (implicitly high risk) bonds become attractive in low yield environments such as we had been in for a couple of years up until the absolutely humongous amount of stimulus triggered by the current pandemic.


Most equity/preferred shares are considered perpetuities (i.e as long as the company is in business)

There are many many perpetual bonds still being issued today however they tend to be 'callable' at the option of the issuer ...most after 5/10/30 years, if they aren't called then they maybe called on the same date every 5yrs or so (so I don't really count them as they aren't really 'forever'.

Oxford and Cambridge Universities in the UK have recently issued 100 year 'Century' bonds in GBP. Thats the longest i've seen recently (I cover EUR/GBP bond markets at work)


I see Orsted bonds announced 2/10/2021 with maturity on 2/18/3021. That’s got to be the current winner.

Looks like ifixit gives the 3rd Gen Nano Battery Replacement a “very difficult”. Anecdotally, as a person not versed in repair, I performed a laptop battery replacement ifixit deemed difficult and it was my upper limit

I’m doing this exact search! What’s been your best resource for finding fiber? Are you plugging in addresses to the providers webpage?


Yeah I just type the zip in to each ISP I find in that area (another fun search).. it sucks. You eventually get rate limited and it will make you constantly change addresses, so just incognito mode it. Some of the ISPs will have the distribution maps but when you're looking at something not in a suburb you're kind of at the behest of the city or a recent neighbor having built out the infra in my experience (which is mostly south/texas/pnw). SOMETIMES theres a local WIFI provider.. I haven't gone that route I'm not sure the investment or quality there. I have done a lot of satellite, BGAN internet etc. I think now everybody is just giving up and waiting on 5G.

This is the muni fiber map https://muninetworks.org/communitymap

I really wish Trulia or one of them had some way to tie into ISPs and tell us whats there.

This improved my house search a LOT; Get the Clickup (no relation) extension and create a space to send your zillow/trulia/mls links to directly, there is a template for apartment searches [1] you can edit it and put in your own fields - it basically grabs a snapshot of different keys and you can add columns and rows and start to quickly grab house listings then filter with your own database. It's stupid simple, like airtable, you can probably use that too. I added ISP sections, stars, comments.. All the real estate apps are terrible for critiquing en masse.

I never got around to checking if the ISPs have apis you can interface with..

I'm going to NEXT year try the mountain thing again.

edit: Wow this link is looking positive, I didnt realize there were so many 500Mbps+ connections https://broadbandnow.com/fastest-cities

edit2: Oh, another stupid ISP tip, the business ends will usually be WAY more lenient if you open your wallet. If you cant get X cable, try to get X cable biz they'll happily run a line down a pole for a new $200/mo customer, I've done it in desperation. You don't need to be an actual biz, just tell them youre hackernewsman LLC and they'll sign you up if they can.


thank you for such a detailed reply!


Venmo. See “the cannabis retailer” for an example.
