Negative prices means the market is heavily subsidized, hence non competitive hence non sustainable.

Transforming renewable energy in electricity is anyway pretty ... stupid (lot of loss) and counter productive (handling surge, storing, grid complexification, poor capacity planning that requires even more fossil energy in high power mode to adapt to peak in demand)

The real solution maybe to adapt our lives to the seasonality, and maybe to use wind power ... well to make wind mill for instance. Mechanic to mechanic energy transformation is not stupid.

Right now, renewable energy is a big scam that can not sustain and that is used by thieves to still tax money in the name of good intentions.
I had this same exact thought. I suspect the First Draft was written by Gavin Belson.
I remember driving through a Native American reservation in the Southwest and stopping at a McDonald's after seeing not much of anything for miles and miles. I walked in and it was like everyone in the reservation was there hanging out it was so alive with conversation and activity. I'm not a McDonald's fan, but I'm glad they exist to serve purposes like that, because I'm not sure where else the people in that one would've gathered.
"She stared through the window at the stars" is just too common a phrase :-) A simple google search suggests a hit in atleast 3-4 books.
At least one of the early large scale pumped storage plants[1] was financed by power companies to optimize their internal costs. So it's long been the case that time arbitrage is a good idea for power production.

You probably want to jump if you're "just before" the syscall, too, though. So you end up with basically this:

syscall wrappers: https://github.com/scottlamb/sigsafe/blob/master/src/x86_64-... (probably could do something better with that thread local; and as I mentioned this isn't using vsyscall)

signal handler: https://github.com/scottlamb/sigsafe/blob/master/src/x86_64-... (although it bugs me now that I iterate the whole array if the instruction pointer's not in any of the syscalls)

and just to be sure, a race checker: https://github.com/scottlamb/sigsafe/blob/master/tests/race_...
It doesn't matter to them. You either say exactly what they want to hear or you're wrong. Don't waste your time.
Congratulations, that is a great achievement!
Yes? Why would you think they couldn't? They just can't change you more or change your bandwidth based on the services you use.

What I really want is something akin to guarantees on the bandwidth, or something like 95%ile billing. Why should I pay for something that I'm not being given (and yes, before people start saying it's legal because of the contract, I'm not arguing that, I'm saying they're selling 50, I'm getting 20, consistently.)

Right. The US Navy is solving the currently severe weakness from a swarm of fast attack suicide boats via the Railgun and Laser weapons programs. Trials of both are currently happening for our blue water ocean folks.

That still leaves the vulnerability of the new class of hypersonic anti-ship weapons systems, but I suspect there is something to attempt to counter that as well. The X-51A Waverider and any future versions are a good example of that.

This is all cat and mouse, but I wouldn't be so quick to completely discredit a carrier strike group. Yes the Carrier is a HUGE liability, but the amount of firepower in 1 group is simply mind numbing and taking out the entire group before a sustained counter attack would be near impossible. For reference, the US Navy currently has 10 of these operating globally.

If you recall, during the opening war in Afghanistan, a CSG managed to launch 1 Tomahawk cruise missile every 12 seconds for 48 hours sustained during the opening salvo. That is only a single CSG.
The grilled chicken sandwiches at McDonald's are actually pretty healthy.

I don't think anyone would claim that McDonald's is a healthy option, but saying that it's "common knowledge" that it's not "food" comes off simultaneously arrogant and ignorant.

For many families, McDonald's is one of only a handful of local food sources within their budget. Consider that, also.

Social stigma? Why do you care what other people think?
That's awfully ignorant. Hating on McDonalds and the like is the trendy thing to do now, but to say that there is no nutritional or health value in their food is ridiculous.

I just looked up the nutrition facts for a kid's happy meal with a cheeseburger, apples slices and chocolate milk. In total, you've got:

450 calories
12g total fat
6g saturated fat (not that it matters)
61g Carbs
32g Sugars (22 of which come from the chocolate milk)
24g Protein

Thats about 60% carbs, 24% protein, and 12% fat. Lacking a special diet, that's about ideal (textbook anyway) macros.

Wanna talk 'health' and specific micros?

You've got 820mg of sodium. High, sure, but so is all American food. 20% of your daily Vit A, 160% of your daily Vit C, 50% of your daily Calcium, 25% of your daily Iron.

You're getting a reasonable amount of calories, with a reasonable macronutrient ratio, and a fair spattering of micronutrients for, what, $5?

Plus a toy, and a playground. Two things that plenty of people don't have trivially available to them.

Bit tangential but I think this can be informative for some sufferers - I've been taking zoloft for a few years now as I have (or had I should say) panic/anxiety attacks and co-morbid depression which went untreated for decades ... I inquired from my doctor about ECT, and although ECT is the cadillac of treatments, in some patients that it has not worked, to my great surprise, nicotine has had a really great effect on reducing or eliminating depression.

I'm not advocating taking up smoking, although it is something worthwhile to consider if things like ECT don't help. There's probably ways nicotine can be therapeutically administered without the negative side-effects of burning tobacco.

> I'm not saying depressants can cause or induce depression, but they certainly don't help.

Studies say otherwise.[1][2]

> On a more practical level, many people with clinical depression suffer from reduced affect, lethargy, and general lack of energy. Depressants will make those symptoms worse.

Reduced affect is brought up all the time when talking about various things and people go "Oh noes! Reduced affect!" which only goes to show that they have no idea what the phrase means. It's not particularly negative in itself; it's only a diagnostic criteria of underlying disorders which have negative effects.

Lethargy and general lack of energy are the same thing.

So basically you have one negative symptom you claim ketamine will cause because it's a depressant. Given that it's a party drug taken in much-higher-than-clinical doses at raves where people dance for hours on it, you should maybe consider the idea that you don't know what you're talking about and stop talking.

To be clear, I'm not particularly in favor of ketamine in treatment. If you knew what you were talking about, you might have, for example, cited the most obvious side effect of ketamine which is bladder damage. Ketamine needs to be studied more, in my opinion, to find out whether the positives outweigh the negatives.

But your ignorant opinion based on the etymology of "depression" is actually detracting from this conversation and doesn't help us to study it. You're just spreading misinformation for no reason except your own ego.

Yep, that's what I meant, fine with the hardware you already have.
Our energy policy is a disaster. Anyone telling you something else is trying to sell you something.

We have decades of high spending (contractual obligations) ahead of us, spending unbelievable amounts of money (see my other post). The low hanging fruits have been picked (roofs facing south, areas with much wind ...) yet we cover only one single percent of our energy usage by renewables.

The energy policy is only one example of our total misbehaviour. In ten years we will face multiple existential crises because of our current policies. It feels bad to see so much money in so many areas being wasted.
Gah, you're right. Make that 18 Ohio class nuke subs.
Harris was initially my least favorite of the Four Horsemen -- Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris, and Daniel Dennett -- but my opinion has completely changed over the last year. With Hitchens gone, he's playing the role of public intellectual better than anybody else I'm aware of right now. I highly recommend his podcast.

This is a gorgeous redesign that really lets the typography shine, as well as deftly addressing numerous usability issues with the old site. The family size filter in particular makes finding a usable set of weights much easier, and the featured section adds a welcome new layer of curation.

Two minor observations:

- It would be a great addition to the family size slider to be able to filter for "contains italics." Some font families have a broad set of stroke weights, but aren't usable for certain content because they lack italics.

- A nitpick, but "Handwriting" has always seemed a somewhat suboptimal filter label. Many of the fonts contained therein might be better described as "script" or "calligraphic", while "handwriting" connotes something more strictly vernacular.

All said, this is an excellent update that brings the Google Fonts experience into the realm of subscription services like Typekit.

Certainly you could do worse. But you could also do better. Teaching young kids to avoid the high-sugar, high-salt, brightly-colored food trap is hard, but I have seen first-hand families that have done it.
Here's the thing about AdBlockers...

Ironic, considering I'm trying to read an article about privacy, and the entire reason I use an adblocker is to try and protect that privacy.
You would think, but the internet speeds are an issue, which severly limits their ability to make them community spaces. At many starbucks in my neighborhood back home you can barely get a website to load. Those few that offer internet by Google, rather than AT&T, seem to be much better. Ive always wondered why they cant simply limit the time one can use the internet before making another purchase rather than capping the speeds.

I'm curious, why do you say that the open/read/write model can't work? I suppose that current software should be optimized to take advantage of better performance, that is what really is.
Not really. France generates about 70 per cent of their power from nuclear and don't seem to have many problems. For really inefficient solid fission, waste disposal basically consist of digging a swimming pool in a techtonically stable area, throwing in the spent rods, and filing it with concrete.

Heck, as long as it was properly guarded, you could store the waste in my backyard shed without any health issues arising.
Thanks. I've been told that before. It kind of feels like I just woke up one day and knew how to program and was about to graduate from a 4 year University majoring in CS (state school). If I have kids, I want them to have many options when it comes to college time.

It does. That's why it should be considered as a last resort if all else fails.
The adtech industry strongly resembles a money laundering operation, except what's being laundered is malware and malvertising. The system's complexity means no one can (or wants to) pin down where malicious content enters the system, so all involved just shrug their shoulders.

When McDonald's opened in Moscow in the 1980's one of the things people frequently mentioned after standing in line for hours was the high quality of the food. It was normal McDonald's fair tailored to the local market. We're pretty spoiled people in the US. Some large fraction of the species can only dream of eating food as good as what McDonald's sells.
Well, the most basic thing is: renewables are completely helpless alone, they need actual, real power generation (baseline, which are not dispatchable). If you let negative prices run too long (coupled with other incentives that skew the market), the baseline companies might go bankrupt and you won't have power when renewables decide not to work.
Negative prices also more or less mean that your grid is overstressed and in risk of damage.
Those are just the two most obvious (to me!) reasons.
Technically they are still well behind both Amazon and Google (which is shooting itself in its feet by dumbing down the infrastructure they offer to their clients). The same that you stated for AI holds true for distributed systems - not that many top people around. MS is obviously leveraging their Win platform to get subscribers even if they can't match Amazon.
Most of the non-tech companies I know have preferred vendor lists. So, you need to go through a consulting company to get a contracting gig. The nice thing is not a lot of HR type questions etc.
Hurray for common sense!
The nix solution is npm2nix, which runs npm against a package.json file and generates a nix expression for all the npm modules you need.

This mostly works, but occasionally you need to override the generated derivations to add implicit dependencies that npm doesn't capture, or otherwise tweak packages that rely on quirks of npm.
Mmm, pointless internet hostility
You guys complain too much.

I can vouch for that. Our McDonalds cleaned them every night-thoroughly. Our restaurant was also really quite clean. Even the 'icky' bits got a thorough cleaning at least once a week-our maintenance guy would break down the fryers and grill area and polish them to a shine.

In Brazil we have a similar effect with shopping centers/malls, that tend to be pretty, clean and safe, not just a bunch of stores (the store rent inside the mall is higher than a street store). Shopping center becomes the default place to go since there is food there, it is open on Sundays. One downside is that stores are mostly empty, which negates a bit the original idea (--> shopping <-- center, not meeting center). The only crowded place is where the food is, and the only really long line is the McDonalds ice cream.

Then some people began to complain that there were too many "ugly people" (mostly poor and young teens that went there for the very same reasons as anyone else). There were some episodes of security barring the entrance of unaccompanied teens that looked "poor". Of course it didn't last long, cooler heads prevailed and I guess that McFlurries were not selling well :)

What? It's not a puzzle at all!

Internet access is provided by cable and phone companies. Those companies are utility companies. They have government sponsored monopolies. It was inevitable that the internet access the utility companies provide would eventually see utility-style regulation.

Net neutrality sucks. It's a shit solution. The real solution is ISP competition. If consumers were able to choose from a dozen competing ISPs then net neutrality and all this regulation wouldn't be necessary.

The true puzzle is how do we enable ISP competition. It's not easy. But it's true solution.
"Latency is not decreasing too much and is limited by the speed of light."

This is not true in any realistic distributed system. Sure latency is not decreasing much, but it is several orders of magnitude higher than the speed of light. There's a lot of fat to trim if we are willing to try.
What we (Germany) did was a joke.

There are just soo many factors why the 'Energiewende' failed.
It's because of the politics made. Eventually we would've running green already but once in a while Angela Merkel just stops a already running process, but then Fukushima happened and she made the decision to go 'all in' into green. But! She didn't actually. Most 'bigger' companies didn't even pay a cent more for the green energy, only the consumers or the main pillar (our middle industry) needed to pay the 'Energiewende'. That was freaking akward since the bigger Companies would've probably paid the biggest pillar of the 'Energiewende'.

The next part is storing energy or producing energy by yourself. Even if you bought a big sun collector you NEED to pay taxes for your energy produced (not just for the collector), also for the energy you will produce and use for your own goods and storing the energy will costs you taxes as well.

While maybe a lot of people can live with that, there was another thing, which is that building energy plants is regulated by our government. If you maybe are a rich guy and want to do something good, you can't since the plants are going through a really painful and akward regulation like a planned economy.
Innovation won't win here since the government won't ever shutdown the last coal power plants since there is so much lobby going on when it comes to energy that even if you have a good idea how to solve the last problems (i.e. by innovating into battery grids or some other stuff) you won't succeed.
The german government has their own plan, even when they need to raise taxes for all the consumers, they don't even care what happens with the prices on the market since the german consumer market is totally regulated.
From the little research I have done into Rust it seems unsurprising that there isn't a formal definition as any Rust standard would be similar in value to Haskell 2010. Useful but not sufficient due to the language still evolving.

"In 2002, the U.S. Navy held a large simulated war game, the Millennium Challenge, to test scenarios of attacks on the fleet by a hypothetical Gulf state  [...]. The leader of the red team employed brilliant asymmetric tactics resulting in 16 U.S. ships, including two supercarriers, going to the bottom in a very short span of time. The Navy stopped the war game, prohibited the red team from using these tactics and then reran the exercise declaring victory on the second day."

This reads like something out of Yossarian's diary..

It seems the only reason there isn't a war on between the superpowers is that it's economically more beneficial to not have one at the moment. Hundreds of billions of dollars are pumped into outmoded solutions, but at least we don't have to sink the ships so that the contractors can sell more of them -- the government happily keeps buying more. The bankers' loans, the unions' workers and the lobbyists' friends are all humming along finely.
I've been asking for 80% time for 10 years, and my current company is the only one who has ever approved it.
