Third Circuit Declares First Amendment Right to Record Police
At my last job I used BackupPC to automate backups. http://backuppc.sourceforge.net.
And when they did that, the Content providers responded by saying "Ok then we will only allow you access to low quality content" i.e you can only stream upto 1280x720 resolution on firefox, no 1080 content, and no 4K content..

Today that has low impact, in a few years that situation will be untenable for FF and they will be "forced" to cave once again in order to appease users that do not care about privacy or security
My Tarsnap backups are versioned so I can recover dotfiles and projects from virtually any week several years back. And the projects themselves are usually under git.
The author tried a laptop monitor, that's much less ideal than a second monitor bordering perfectly of the first.

Either way it will definitely challenge your multitasking though.
When reading anything about Ethereum, the problem I've encountered is that the authors describe the supposed potential of the technology but never practical use cases. They never talk about successful, working applications.

The question for Ethereum, like any technology, is what real-world problem is it uniquely suited to solve? Personally, I don't think Ethereum will ever live up to the hype surrounding it because its founders have promised more than it can deliver.
Not sure it's the same realm, but I've recently watched (on TV) Mourad Merzouki's Pixel, which is a mix of modern dance with digital projection, and I found it interesting and well done.

I am currently in Moscow and I can tell anybody from Moscow just by their first sentence based on pronounciation - but almost only that. That is because Russian has a governing body that dictates what "real" russian is. English has no such body.

These are great pictures, and makes me realize that while we hear a lot (though not enough) about these conflicts around the world, its usually just accompanied by a photo or two or a few seconds of video capturing a firefight or an explosion. But such things are cliche at this point and don't hit home. Seeing real soldiers taking a break between firefights, and real families fleeing their homes with their children and a few belongings really makes the reality of the situation much more graspable. I think we need to see a lot more of these candid photos (and video too) of the real people whose lives are being devastated by these conflicts.
It's not talked about in "the media" (at least not front page stuff) because it is not a huge problem. While "scarce" is relative, global demand until the year 2100 is estimated to be between 12 and 20 million tons, while currently known reserves are about 39 million tons. So we should be good for at least 80 years. Recycling is also a solved problem, though we'll have to build a few more factories to keep up with the increased amount.

Note that eventually, graphene based energy storage may take over anyway. Or possibly someone will invent proper hydrogen storage.

Finally, you could easily have found multiple studies by respected universities about the estimated amount of lithium on Earth, about the feasability of large scale recycling of Li-ion batteries and about transitioning into a lithium-based economy. If you are willing to take advice, reading up first before become alarmed and posting concerned comments will help a lot for your peace of mind.
Personally I have found reading both history and philosophy is helpful - not in "solving the problem" but being able to manage emotion and anxiety about climate change. I think learning about previous periods of large-scale ecological change or collapse of civilisations helps to normalise the possible/likely/inevitable upcoming events intellectually. Philosophy helps to figure out a workable emotional response. I think there is some value in stoic philosophy that can be applied in daily living, particularly in terms of managing responses to loss (e.g. loss of one's health, or one's material possessions, or loved one's, or perhaps one's society)

There's also this - Roy Scranton's "Learning How to Die in the Anthropocene":

https://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/11/10/learning-ho...

> The biggest problem climate change poses isn’t how the Department of Defense should plan for resource wars, or how we should put up sea walls to protect Alphabet City, or when we should evacuate Hoboken. It won’t be addressed by buying a Prius, signing a treaty, or turning off the air-conditioning. The biggest problem we face is a philosophical one: understanding that this civilization is already dead. The sooner we confront this problem, and the sooner we realize there’s nothing we can do to save ourselves, the sooner we can get down to the hard work of adapting, with mortal humility, to our new reality.

i am not sure if you will find any of this helpful but i hope that you can find some peace with time

All of that is the same on Ethereum. But where Bitcoin has a table with "userid,balance" and a stored procedure that lets you move some of your balance to any other user, on Ethereum you have developer rights. Aside from the core ledger, you can make your own tables, and your own stored procedures that anyone else can use.

This isn't a precise analogy for various reasons. Bitcoin has the UTXO model (though Ethereum actually does have userid/balance), and Ethereum is more like an object database than SQL.

How much is the price for kwh stored/dispatched , over the long term ? that's the missing data here.

Oh, I didn't realize that was what you meant.

That data isn't really missing, it's unknown because it will be sold at market prices. Obviously the behavior of electricity prices is fairly complex, but for batteries I'd imagine it would make sense to dispatch at any point where the price received is higher than the price paid during charge (perhaps with a risk factor? A little unclear about the behavior regarding expected future prices).

SA historical market prices are available at[1] or per year at[2]. There is a large report on them available at [3].

To summarize, SA wholesale prices average A$123/MWh (US$93/MWH) last year. By comparison, according to [4], wholesale rates in California are around $US30/MWh.

I believe the smaller Tesla battery install in CA is known to be price competitive. I haven't tried looking for the numbers for that though. Either way, it's difficult to imagine that if it is price competitive in CA it won't be even more competitive in SA.

They aren't trying to solve the problem of 'doing it the best way'.

They're trying to solve the problem of 'what else can we do with these high performance batteries'. So they have some where else to put overproduction, have more buying power of raw resources due to scale, more research dollars to put into li-ion batteries responsibly, or they already have the well made hammer of li-ion batteries so everything is a nail.

I think it is pretty difficult to accurately project the adoption rates of those technologies (because most of the information we have is about adoption rates when they are marginally price competitive), but the current adoption rates don't have us with anywhere near enough solar deployed to stop using natural gas in 20 years.

I guess you are talking more about whether it is a competitive investment, but if we aren't fully on solar the faster construction time and easier siting of natural gas plants will drive some investment (siting mostly in terms of land area/MW).
I'm not a native speaker either. But firstly, if you don't know english in computer science you can't follow any research, any documentation and worse you can't write code that is readable like a book. Basically you are stuck like Robinson Crusoe putting together yourself a roof and a bed from banana leaf, while the whole world is on an other civilisation level. I personally hate when people start using their language to code, it's just not how it evolved and how it should be done on a professional level. If you want to play music you need to learn reading the notes first. Call me a traditionalist.

NBA JAM oral history
What crystal ball are they using to predict the future out for 80 years? Are they making the assumption that there will be no technological paradigm shifts and demand growth will continue along current levels? Do they factor in the effects of climate change and global instability?

If you use an estimate of demand to justify increasing demand, you immediately, tautologically invalidate the estimate: the estimate did not account for your policy decisions based on itself.

Yeah, but that's not the point. If I have my friend who wants to host blog1.com, and I want to host blog2.com on the same machine, we can't do it without some coordination. We'd probably need to have an Nginx server using VHost to redirect to my or his server. We can't use SO_REUSEPORT because if the request goes to the wrong server, it won't know how to react.

> I definitely agree that someone using tools should know how to use them right - however in this case maybe the curriculum should be tweaked to point out mistakes when using a tool?

I totally agree! I structure my classes to point out both common classes of mistakes that everyone makes, and uncommon classes of mistakes that are subtle and difficult to catch. I even have a special way of presenting it (I switch to a colour I only use for discussing mistakes).

Students hate it. One of the two comments that I consistently get on my evaluations is "stop telling us how not to do it." (The other is that my tests are too hard, precisely because they don't involve just rote computations.) I've been told by classroom observers that many students literally ignore it, ceasing to take notes while I discuss mistakes and resuming only afterwards.

I keep doing it anyway, and I make a point of why I'm doing it, but it can't all be me; some of the onus has to be on the students to be willing to think about understanding failure modes as being as important as success.
There's no way the incumbents would allow this thing to be connected to the grid if there wasn't a dollar (quite a few dollars) in it for them.

There are no major non-renewable incumbents left in SA. The renewables love this because it lets them load shift. That's good for them but good for me too.

AGL has a small gas fired station but screwed up during the outage by not firing up one generator. That lost them any friends they have, especially since they blamed high gas prices, which the Federal Government saw as a criticism of them.

The interstate incumbents hated it enough to get the Federal Government to look at stopping it[1]. But then the Victorian Hazelwood coal fired plant closure was announced, and the coal industry lost a lot of credibility with the federal government. Basically the incumbents are suffering and are rapidly losing political power.

My come from a small country (Portugal), yet there are multiple recognizable differences between not only the pronunciation but also the vocabulary used for the common words (like a cup of coffee) in different regions of the country.

The fact that we were quite poor until not that long ago might have helped to maintain those differences, since most people didn't have TVs nor could afford to move to a city to attend college. Then again, the poverty also led to major emigration from rural areas, which killed a lot of smaller communities.

At runtime, the original program (i.e., the syntax tree, or some other representation from which the syntax tree is recoverable) may well not exist anymore. If you don't have a syntax tree, you can't type-check anything.

Now, you may say “okay, the original program doesn't exist anymore, but my language implementation is a term rewriting engine, so I have a current program that I can submit to the type checker”. Alas, most type checkers, Hindley-Milner included, operate on self-contained program fragments (i.e., not containing unbound variables), so you can't just submit any arbitrary program fragment. And, if you didn't want to type-check your original program, how likely is it that you will want to type-check the entire syntactic representation of the current program state?

If you're going to answer the question of whether a language has types, then you're already trying to see how it can be shoved into types. It's presupposed by the question itself.

You literally have to count the types by analyzing the grammar. So for the lambda calculus, you have lambda=1, halt. So does a single type mean no types or literally one type?

What's the advantage of thinking that 1 type actually equals 0 types? I don't see any, so in my mind, all languages are unityped or have a richer type structure. Whether a richer type structure is desirable is a separate question.

129MWh is a laughable amount of storage when you need at minimum 10000MWh per day for 1mln people. So you would need at least $12.5bln to build enough plants for just one day per 1mln people. And that's not counting maintenance. For that price 2-3 nuclear plants can be built which can last 30-50 years unlike the 10-20 years of lithium storage.

Instead of hideously expensive (and potentially explosive) lithium storage, solution should be synthesizing and storing some form of gas. This gas can then be produced and stored in underground locations during summer, and then spent during winter.
