Not OP. The van in the article appears to have ~800W of solar on the roof. Depending on preference, lighting requirements can be ~5-30W, laptop requirements ~20-150W. If heating and cooking needs are met with natural gas (the most common solution- and I can see a gas pizza oven in the article). Making some assumptions:

* the solar panels deliver average ~200W for 8hrs per day, 1.6kWh total

* OP has average 50W power draw while working, 8hrs per day, 0.4kWh total

* OP has lighting requirements of ~20W, 4hrs per day, ~0.1kWh

I guess he's probably fairly comfortably net positive for electrical power. In my experience the solar panel estimate is reasonably conservative, although I've experienced some extended periods of very bad weather where my panels produce less than 5% of their rated maximum (in the UK- not Aus!).
Sounds like you got dropshipped. I think the short answer is, you can’t. These people make money by running a server daemon that slightly marks up Amazon items, posts them on Etsy and EBay, then draws profits for the user.
Being on the other end of this sucks hard though. It’s super frustrating to order food and have it turn up with half the order missing.

One of the problems is because the delivery company is a complete middle man that takes on zero accountability for the order. For example, if an Uber eats or Deliveroo driver turns up with the wrong order, they can do literally nothing about it. If a company that employees it’s own delivery staff (eg Domino’s, supermarket chains, independents restaurants etc.) shows up with a bad order, they will go back and fix it, because it’s cheaper for everyone to do that.

Outsourcing delivery to another company works for restaurants that have limited delivery orders and no marketing channel, but is it really sustainable? If they have consistent volume it would certainly be easier for them to have their own drivers, as has been the case since the telephone was invented.

Thank you. I'm glad you are taking the positive out of such a difficult time. I also hope the insurance was paid up ! :-)

I have been prototyping a portable working setup so that I can write code while camping. Rather than a van I've got a smallish travel trailer (24') in part because I like having the tow vehicle available when I don't want to batten down the hatches to go into town, but we are set up for 100% off road dry camping which gives us access to a LOT of BLM land. Now if I could get mobile Starlink service ... that would be stellar. But not happening any time soon AFAICT.
Thanks for the feedback. We'll definitely disclose in it in the example and think of a more subtle way to help other people find out about it. We actually added it in at the end - that's why it is not in the picture example - and we thought it would be okay because you can delete the link once you paste the signature in Gmail. If people like this, we'll definitely consider spending some more time adding a few themes/styles, or open it up so others can create themes for it.
'Society' by how thick a margin? 80%? 50.1%? Less?

The problem you have is that you created a Family Link account and thereby told google that your child was under 13.

This is intended to meet legal liabilities, and the most egregious helicopter parents needs. And due to the Childs Online Privacy Protection Act, pretty much any app that uses advertising has terms of service that prevent children from using it.

You want Family Link to be less restrictive, but apparently the lawmakers in question won't be satisfied until the only thing your child can do is watch PBS reruns.
Your assessment falls prey to classic self-serving statist blunders in logic, such as the state has the ultimate monopoly on ethics & it's enforcement.

Even if information is asymmetric & humans don't always make rational decisions, you are running under the assumption that human government officials are somehow immune from these asymmetries, irrational decisions, & bouts of dishonesty. With government having the ultimate monopoly of power & acting "for the greater good", it's not surprising that government officials will always act in their own interests at the expense of the citizenry. Every system is ultimately gamed over time. Even if the government official is 100% benevolent, maintains 100% benevolence over the entire career, & gains sufficient power to make decisions (probably impossible), that official lacks the ability to model every citizen's unique set of preferences & optimizations better than that individual citizen's ability to make their own choices.
> Nobody can do 100x as many reps as their 1 rep max, unless they've grossly underestimated their 1RM.

I mean, I could certainly do 100 singles at 80% 1RM, but I get your point. Jeff's program is atrociously bad.
No. As written in another comment, imagine trying to determine whether two brands of cake mixes have the same density by weighing them. If you always weigh one of the brands with a glass bowl, but the other one with a steel bowl, you'll get enormously high units of sigma, but in reality you've only proven that steel is heavier than glass.
> There is no false flag of liberty, that is an oxymoron.

Several political philosophers critical of liberalism (and even those sympathetic to liberalism) have argued that several free actions we take do indeed disadvantage people in various ways, whether it comes to democritic citizenship or other social interactions. It is entirely possible to act under the flag of liberty while still (knowingly or not) disadvantaging other people. This 'paradox' (speaking loosely) has given birth to the (currently popular) philosophy of egalitarian liberalism (or, liberal egalitarianism, as opposed to other theories such as Marxian egalitarianism).

You can read more about this at the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/liberalism/#NewLib
> Are they writing what they want to write, or are they only writing for the money or adulation?

A mixture. A lot of authors write in multiple genres to make ends meet (even a "major" contract pays way, way less than most people think). So for example I have one friend whose true passion is mystery with a literary bent (not a super popular niche), but also writes contemporary romance (the highest selling genre) to pay the bills.

There's also a constant conflict in publishing of writing what you love vs writing what you know will sell (not to mention what your editor will allow). So even if you pour your uncensored soul into a manuscript, your soul is going to take a beating with a red pen before it hits shelves. :)

That being said--everyone in this group writes at least one genre they're genuinely passionate about.

> I've always wanted to write well, but I've never had to rely on it to make a mortgage payment, much less to establish my place in the world, and I've often wondered if that explained the fact that I don't hate writing first drafts.

I would say this is a huge factor. Deadlines have a magical ability to kill joy in a craft. I think a lot of the "I hate writing" mentality comes from "I'm a perfectionist who feels I don't have enough time to make this manuscript as good as I want it to be."

That being said--a lot of people feel this dread even before they're published, so I think there's more than one factor at play.

No. I'm making two points:

1) Bikes aren't environmentally free either. Over the lifetime of each is the environmental impact of an ICE car -> EV the same as EV -> bike? Maybe not percentage wise but the data I've seen implies getting the ICE car off the road is the most important step. It's like the comparison of going from 10mpg SUV -> 30mpg compact car is more important than a 30mpg compact car to a 50mpg hybrid.

2) convincing everyone to switch to bicycles isn't realistic. More bikes is better. Wholistic solutions beyond just bikes are required.
By that logic "the use of atomic bombs in WWII was justified" should also be an unacceptable statement. ... I mean, I'm not saying that it shouldn't be unacceptable. Attacking civilians is pretty horrible and uncivilized. But is also is a common thread throughout most notable wars in the last 100 years or so.
The correction is coming, and companies are starting to lay off people (like EBay doing "restructuring"). Some companies do global office "optimization" - i.e. completely closing offices in some countries/locations. Given that IBM commented on such a "baseless and ridiculous" claim puts a lot of foundation under it. Obviously not all the 100K at once. After all laying off people in Germany is completely different process than in CA. The fact that they point to open listings just shows that a lot of it will be sold under the sauce of "rebalancing" - lets layoff 10K there and hire the "best" 1K of them here. I've seen that an another legendary SV company (some of its former offices are occupied nowadays by a very "Like"-able company) I think IBM has big plan to close some regional offices, downsize/close some projects and to spin off some pieces with resulting IBM headcount expected being 100K less than today.
I believe this is the development that will let us avoid run away catastrophic warming.

In order to avoid catastrophic warming we have to reduce emissions by something like 80% by 2050. That seemed a pipe dream before cheap solar panels, now it feels inevitable to me.

70% of the power generated by a coal plant is wasted in the transmission line before it reaches your home, distributed generation has this huge efficiency benefit going for it.

The Chinese solar industry has gotten the price down below .50 per watt this year, in a few years it won't make sense to add carbon-sourced marginal capacity. Almost all of new demand can be satisfied with solar pv. We will have to solve the energy storage problem, and I think we will. Superconducting magnetic energy storage gives me hope.

Those were particular humans and the method worked in hot weather. Wolves hunt the same way, wound the animal then exhaust it. I don't think humans used this approach in Europe.

And the reason people need technique bootcamp is they're not physically active anymore. They have muscular imbalances that need direct attention to correct.
A good movie about aerospace and the origins of the U.S. space program (it's also a book) is "The Right Stuff".

Speaking for myself, I don't try before I buy, I just pay if there is a pay option available.

I'm just suggesting a sort of market based incentive to pay for things that one could easily get for free.

Over time, those who pay may end up getting some additional non "feel good" or convenience benefits in that they will be a preferred class of customers.
I'll give you an example.

I have a friend who teaches 1st grade. Part of the curriculum was writing in a journal about what you did at home the day before.

My friend realized that the kids were more interested in writing about what they did at home in the morning as soon as school started, so she moved journal time from after lunch to first thing in the morning.

It worked out great, the kids were writing more and enjoyed writing more. Then the assistant principal observed her class and forced her to move journal time back to the old slot.

Another time my friend wanted to do an interactive history lesson that took a bit longer than normal, so she took 15 extra minutes from math that she planned to make up later in the day. The same assistant principal found out and formally disciplined her for not following the approved schedule.

Teachers are supposed to be professionals capable of developing their own lesson plans, but when administrators don't treat them like professionals their options are limited.

My take away from "Do just enough" is the flip side - throw it away and start over. The second part is just as important as the first or you end up with crap prototypes in the heart of your solution. The first time doesn't have edge case handling and will be insecure, so toss it out when it starts to become a product, if not before.

This is something that I've been thinking about lately.

Last ~May, I spontaneously developed rashes exactly in the middle of the back of my hands at the same time. This lead to skin sensitivity and ultimately skin rashes across my body.

At this point I've visited my dermatologist what, 20 times? In addition to my general physician, bloodwork, etc. Biopsies and bloodwork and other tests don't show anything abnormal, asides from excessively high IgE - 600 and now about 1,000. I recently started on Dupixent but it's too early to tell if it's helping or not.

There doesn't seem to be any clear indicator, so I'm wondering if I ate something + stress, which affected my gut microbiome. My family has no history of this sort of issue and it seriously started about overnight.

I love all languages in the ML/Haskell tradition, but I think Julia would have been a better fit because it's dynamic yet efficient, and because it has a really decent probability/statistics/ML ecosystem already. Long term, I think it's the best replacement we have for Python in the ML world.

Python has exceptional libraries but, as a language, it's a bit dated on several fronts. This has an impact on library design. In Python, ML libraries are huge monoliths and they depend on a lot of code written in other languages. They are really hard to understand or modify.

In Julia, things are really small and composable. For example, you have a probabilistic programming library like Turing and a differentiable programming one like Flux, and it's trivial to implement some Bayesian neural networks. Same applies to many other things. It's small and beautiful, but it needs more manpower to compete against Python.
In my view, that's survivor bias. I think that an insurrection can render a country or region un-governable, even with a numerical disadvantage. But it can't necessarily establish a new government, either a good one or a bad one.

The two-bits army was ideologically and organizationally aligned with an already functioning colonial government. But that's survivor bias too. I don't know if there are any reliable rules for the long term outcome of a successful insurrection.

The British didn't need to be defeated, they only needed to realize that they could no longer govern the colonies.

Good performance and meta-programming ("run regular code at compile time") used to be found at the opposite ends of the programming languages spectrum

Actually, Lisp has been executing regular code at compile time with good performance since the tail end of the 1980's. Maybe even before that. This is why I said "everything old is new again."
Where does the money go to retrain the 100,000 users? And who gets the money to re-image the machines? It goes into the local economy.

Stash is great for files in git, but it sucks that it leaves new unadded files in their place which end up fucking up things when I have to switch between tasks all of the time. Inevitably I will either check-in something I didn't mean to, or to workaround it I'll just clone in a diff directory.

Git really needs something that can leave .gitignore defined files in place while stashing everything else, maybe via a command with a new name like "tuck".
Model good practices.

Be present with your child when she is using the internet.

Shut down the electronics and put them away at night.

Discuss the facts of the world openly and honestly. Don't lie.

It's just basic parenting stuff - no different than cable TV or DVD's. It's all in the relationship.

There's no techno-fix. Or rather, the techno fix doesn't substitute for actual engagement.

It will help to think through where your limits are. What are your options when a 13 year old boy visits Pornhub to watch teen lesbian videos?

Do you call a counselor? Ignore it as a normal part of sexual expression? Lay hands on to remove the devil? Talk about it? Ignore it?

Is your response different if it's bondage? Forced sex? Latex gimp dwarf porn?

There's no shortcuts. Parenting is pretty simple and very hard. You protect them by teaching them to make healthy choices and leave the helicopter in the hanger as often as possible.

Good luck.
This is interesting because I find watching recorded lectures one of the most tedious and inefficient ways to learn about a given subject. I far prefer a good textbook for self-directed learning.

That's a good point about anarchy. Although anarchy and authoritarianism are opposites, they behave in very similar ways: the people with power call the shots as they please. In the middle, you could say we have perfect rule of law. This means that no officials act as if they are above the law, and that every moral injustice is handled by some law or another. Clearly we'll never have that.

So the first continuum I proposed is actually one half of the continuum between anarchy and authoritarianism.
Wow, corrupt governments everywhere, kiss your corruption goodbye.
In respiratory therapy school we were taught some breathing exercises to teach patients who were graduating after being on a vent, had lung surgery following cancer, COPD and/or other pulmonary issues. Some of the trainers like the inspiratory and expiatory trainers have benefits to non-compromised patients - some athletes use them for training in sports like swimming and basketball.

Maybe an MD will chime in, however in case not imo the diaphragmatic training is only beneficial for singers and yogis and others who need to do large diaphram style breaths. Most people will go back to their normal style of breathing even if they're trained and practice diaphragmatic breathing after they're done concentrating.

If I had to recommend one thing to buy for a regular person to use, it would probably be a really simple inspiratory/expiratory trainer. Basically you inhale and blow through a hole and it strengthens your lungs.

This one is low tech and bombproof, cheap, easy to disinfect and used a lot in the field:

You seem to be missing that a truck isn't a replacement for one person or even ten - but more. The multiplier effect is very significang. That aspect always struck me as pretty obvious in "a city bus makes up for its lower nominal miles per gallon by the average ridership person miles alone - even without congestion" but it seems to be something people don't understand like describing commercial flight emissions like they just move a single person.

I'm confused, what exactly do they mean by this bit, "If you compressed your solution, any Makefile/build.xml files (and the executable file itself) need to be uncompressed and/or built into the same root directory as the compressed archive itself or your submission will result in a build error."

Are they saying that the archive shouldn't have any directories in it period or that it should all be in one directory?
You may be aware that direct sunlight is thousands of times more intense than indoor lighting conditions. Probably if you'd hooked up a resistive load to it while indoors, the measured voltage would have dropped to a fraction of a volt; and if you'd used an oscilloscope instead of a multimeter to measure the voltage, you would very likely have measured 5 volts.

Or I could be wrong, of course.
Bzzt.
