thanks for plugging and chugging it all out.

carbon engineering's carbon capture technology is projected to be significantly less than $600 tonne, they say the plant they are building for occidental petroleum in texas will be profitable from 1) cost of avoided CO2 purchases (CO2 is used to pump oil out of the ground) and 2) california CO2 credits for "low carbon oil" which is between $175 and $200 USD/tonne [0].

so if carbon ends up at $200 per tonne instead of $100, cost per gallon would be $3.11 + $1.96 = $5.07. If you drive a lot probably enough to nudge you towards an EV!

wow they have IEC standards for 22 euro instead of 300!


I challenge you to find a pirated copy of IEC 61362 "Guide to specification of hydraulic turbine governing systems" online. It does not exist. The company I used to work for, which specialized in turbine governing systems costing millions of dollars, would not pay the $300 for that document.


As pointed out in another comment and previously on HN, my new favourite source for specs are regional English translations from Estonia. Here’s one for IEC 61362 for 22 EUR: https://www.evs.ee/en/evs-en-61362-2012


> It does not exist

Sure does! First line from a random page (44) of 61362:2012: "...the runner blade opening is brought to a certain position to provide a given flow rate after load..."


They wouldn't pay $300 for it because the price is too high or because they don't need it? If their specialty makes them need the document, why would they not pay $300? I'm curious.

The author brings a solution, it is to publish documents in PDF instead of HTML.


"A bad remedy to a genuine problem does not yield a solved problem."


PDF is a great way to publish documents. which is what the web originally was.

The web has become a bad remedy to some distributed software problems.


Why do you feel PDFs are a bad remedy? PDFs are the usual way I absorb information.


it would be nice if it were a PDF I could download and save for later.

is there any way to turn a series of pages in to a PDF? like a recursive wget and then pipe through pandoc?


Lots of ways to do this, but one way is install poppler-utils so you get pdfunite, make sure your filenames for the pages lexicographically sort in the order you want the pages to end up[1], then do

    pdfunite page*.pdf output.pdf
I have had decent results using pdftk as well to do pdf surgery so that's another option.

In this case, if you do a recursive wget I think it should "just work" because the files are named in a friendly way.

So, putting it all together:

     wget -r 'https://dropbox.github.io/dbx-career-framework/overview.html'
     cd dropbox.github.io/dbx-career-framework
     ls ic*software*.html | sed 's/.html$//' | while read f ; do
          pandoc --pdf-engine=wkhtmltopdf $f.html -o $f.pdf
     done
    pdfunite ic*.pdf output.pdf
[1] ie the ordering of the output of "ls" is the order you want the pages in the output pdf


A bit more manual, but I've been saving webpages I like in Obsidian.

First, click the reader view in Firefox, then select all, then paste it into a new Obsidian page. It's really good at keeping a nice formatting and importing pictures etc. You can then export the result to PDF if so desired.


Not sure why you are downvoted, I save everything I want to refer to again as pdf because stuff on the web disappears. I can search all the pdf I have offline with Qiqqa or mendeley. Used to use google desktop for pdf search.


Check out https://archivebox.io/ for a great self hosted solution. Its one of the best such programs I've found.

You can hack together some scripts to do the basics yourself, but archiving arbitrary pages is pretty difficult to get right.


Print to PDF, most browsers support it natively if your OS doesn't already.


Unless I'm mistaken, this doesn't print pages recursively


How would they get the first IP for the REST client to contact?


That problem isn't solved by DoH, you still need to hardcode the DoH server IP there too if you intend to bypass the network level settings. So a proprietary system would be no different.

All the major appliance vendors (Google, Amazon) already have huge fixed IP ranges to devote to this purpose, which are effectively unblockable because they might be shared with important cloud services.


i have a pihole and have been worried that DoH would break it. i checked the network settings in firefox and the DoH setting is there but it is disabled.

I doubt that chrome will allow one to disable DoH but at least firefox does for now.


I believe Pihole automatically put in the NXDOMAIN entry needed to disable DoH on Firefox for you. But who knows how long Firefox will respect that, since there's nothing stopping ISPs from employing the same strategy to disable DoH.


Even if Firefox stops respecting that due to malicious ISPs using it, you'll always be able to turn off DoH in Firefox's preferences.


For now.

This is one step in the boiling-the-frog process.


interesting they only had $168,000 earmarked as structural repairs out of $15,000,000. Clearly they did not know the extent of the damage. Most of the work was in waterproofing and balcony repairs.


thanks for the link

>that estimate indicated that the concrete damage observed would begin to multiply exponentially over the years, and indeed the observable damage such as in the garagehas gotten significantly worse since the initial inspection.When you can visually see the concrete spalling (cracking), that means that the rebar holding it together is rusting and deteriorating beneath the surface.Please note that the original scope ofwork inthe 2018 report has expanded. The concrete deterioration is accelerating. The roof situation got much worse, so extensive roof repairs had to be incorporated.

>Because so muchof the needed concrete/waterproofingwork is underground, we must pull up almost the entire ground level of the lot to access the areas that requirerepair. That means we have to put itall backat the end. This includes the pool deck, the entire entrydriveand ground level parking,north side contractor parking,and planters/landscaping. Electrical work and plumbingare involved almost everywhere. Balcony concreterequires repair/waterproofing,and the railingsrequire repair. And-we have to bring all this up to current codewhen repairs are completed.
