That said I wouldn't spend $300 on a feature phone when I can get a basic one for $50 or less which can do everything that this one can.

The Light Phone appears to be for people looking for a specific aesthetic rather than actually coming close to being in a middle ground between being unplugged and carrying a smartphone.
"restrict myself to mornings only"

Do yourself a favour and take the next step. Stop ingesting daily and reserve coffee for sleep emergencies and medicinal purposes. Even a single daily cup of coffee is enough to build a tolerance to it.

Besides affecting alertness, caffeine is also a very effective way of increasing the potency of many drugs. For me, Advil by itself has little effect, but in combination with caffeine it works great.
As long as feed-in tariffs are artificially high (e.g. anything not noticeably below 1:1), neither xkcd:927 nor total absence of standards are what is keeping solar-aware consumption from happening.

Apart from caffeine, yerba mate also contains the stimulants theobromine and theophylline, which makes the effects qualitatively different from only ingesting caffeine. I found yerba mate works very well as a pre-workout drink.

I think yerba mate makes me more stimulated but less "wired" than coffee. I have mainly been making tea with the actual mate leafs and not so much the sugary club mate.

>>The revenue from exported domestically made software/tech products, compared to the size of the IT Services industry is miniscule. Almost nothing.

This is a very interesting point. Only recently I had a discussion about this with a colleague.

The painful fact about big salaries in India is either US pays it or a VC pays it. Or you go the services way where some one does the work over the years and has build a company for you, then they pay you services salary(But that is again from the US.).

So its just US or VCs. If you build a company in India and pay you can't pay much.

High- and medium grade green tea (especially the Japanese varieties) have significant amounts of L-theanine, which has its own effects and synergies with caffeine. For me, the same amount of caffeine will have me anxious and give me tunnel-vision if I get it from coffee while more euphoric and peppy if from green tea.
15 New Tools to Supercharge Your Freelance Work (2018)
Last year I tried ditching my iPhone and used a feature phone for a couple of weeks. The biggest annoyance was typing SMS / text messages with the numeric keypad. I absolutely hated it.

Also, all feature phones are hideous.

I think there's a market for a feature phone that has nice messaging and looks good. And since it's based on Android, it might be possible to write apps for it (messaging apps would absolutely make sense).

But this is ignoring what is is probably the most harmful influence of Kuhn -- the whole idea of "paradigm shifts". For a while nearly every new finding was hyped as a "new paradigm" thanks to Kuhn's SSR -- in the field of statistical genetics, Joe Felsenstein used to joke that he owed his success to the fact that he was the only one doing boring "normal science" in the 1970s rather than trying to shift paradigms.

What I find interesting is that people who like those mate drinks are quite brand loyal (at least in my experience).

I've tried at least 10 different brands since I had my first Club Mate 15 years ago, and I hated every single one of them. A few friends hate Club Mate and only like a single other brand.
I also started getting red patches on my skin after weeks of use. There were some headaches, dry mouth, jaw clenching etc. It did improve bowel movements.
Your solution would require massive increase in carbon tax without loopholes. That would be a good and simple solution, but it's not happening.

Consumers (especially 24/7 industry) wants to solve the cost, not the problem of CO2 emissions. Steady supply contract from non-renewables is cheaper. Letting markets to decide means that industry is not going to use renewable at all.

I hope in the future this will not grow into tool hunting.

Wow, this is actually a thing! I thought it was just me.

As someone who used to drink a LOT of cola-cola during their teens, caffeine really fucked me up good. I only noticed I was dependant (addicted)
on caffeine after a friend pointed out I only felt good again on certain days after coming back from a client where there was no cola available.
I took a little bottle with me to the client and felt "normal" that day. Didn't even know it had caffeine. Had fairly bad anxiety and panic attacks at the time.

I then quit caffeine cold turkey. Couldn't even sit upright when I woke up after 2 days of not taking any.

I've now tried it on and off and noticed my anxiety / panic attacks happened out of nowhere, somewhat related to consuming caffeine. I think it happens a couple hours,
sometimes a day after consumptions. Really took a couple years link it to caffeine. I've been to doctors, hospitals, psychiatrists, physical therapists, blah blah blah. It was just fucking caffeine.

If you read this and think consuming coffee or cola all day is fine see what happens when you stop taking it for just a couple days. Yeah I get it, you just use it to "boost" your energy during the day right, you're definitely not addicted, right? Yeah, headaches in the weekend are normal - everyone has them..
Sure there can be redemption at some point. But there must be some consequences too. Instead of just "Ok we're the good guys now". There must be the expectation that if you behave badly now it can make changing plans in the future harder. It takes time to regain trust. Right now it's nowhere near enough.

Let's see after more years if they can pull it off.
In my case, hydrating excessively (>3 liters per day) mitigated most of the negative side-effects. Jaw clenching still persists.

Effect attenuates with regular daily use for me, despite most research to the contrary, which leads me to believe it's caused just by plain old lack of sleep during consumption days.

Care to elaborate on the skin issues? Were they planar circles (I know, oxymoron)? And what's "large"? I could maybe correlate some skin issues of mine (up to 1cm, but majority smaller than .5 tumor-like skin bumps, mostly colorless, but some red with darker aureola) to this.

This is in part some naming annoyance. Bitbucket let you once use your own domains for repos. Which was nice as you could migrate if you wanted.

The forks thing could be tackled. With a notification, something like I forked you. Or a code search engine which is clever enough to detect and link repos.

The user management gubbins, is the normal irritation of user management and access control.

The stars part is already a bit of a horror across all software - not knowing how to gauge the popularity and quality of a project. Nevermind searching for it.

Is Twitter worth your investment?
No, but refraining from taking an action that's well within your power to take, possibly with minimal consequences, and which you have a strong incentive to take, is sign of integrity. I don't know if that's "getting credit", but having integrity is clearly a good thing.

On the other hand, it could simply be shrewd businessmanship. It's not like it was the reporting that made Theranos unviable. The tech would never work, it's just a question of time before the walls come crashing down. It's probably illegal for Murdoch to sit on this information while trying to sell his investment on to someone else (at the very least, inviting some nasty lawsuits).

Murdoch might very well have thought "Oh well, the investment is gone, I'll be damned if it isn't my newspaper to be the one to break this juicy news".
I realised this after consuming two coffees a day - one in the morning and one after noon. I used to struggle with insomnia and used to sleep only by 2:00 AM frequently. After a few days of missing out my afternoon coffee, I started to notice that I felt much better and calmer. As someone who is fighting depression and anxiety, cutting off my coffee completely has helped.

I now substitute with a tea in the morning if necessary.
Having built such a modern scyscraper in China by myself, I have to disagree. The first such scyscrapers where incredibly poorly planned, because they didn't have the proper budget and management culture. They probably outsourced the CAD work to some shop in Singapure or Indonesia, struggled with the metric/imperial system and tolerances. Workers conditions were horrible. People died all over, nobody cared, the bodies were just carried away. They did emergency welding of parts not fitting together on site on the 30th floor, and so on. The higher the less it fit. They didn't care about proper procedures. It was a nightmare.

Only when the Chinese realized it doesn't work this way, they gave the next projects to established european companies with experience, which didn't have to outsource their planning and construction, everything started to work out properly. Nowadays I'm incredibly proud of the changed Chinese engineering culture. They've surpassed Japan in all measures.

Yeah, there is a whole subjective component to all of this that is hard to get good information on.

I am older, and drink both tea and coffee depending on mood, need for caffeine, etc.

There are some online guides that give ratios of caffeine in typical tea versus typical coffee. Of course, figuring out what "typical" is is the issue! What I've seen shows that black tea has quite a bit less caffeine per serving (bag, infuser full, etc): 1/10 to 1/5 of coffee caffeine. However, there seems to be a big difference in coffee strength! As an anecdote, I personally find little difference in caffeine between weak coffee (Dunkin Donuts regular is a good example) and a strong black tea (Tazo Awake, for example). On the other hand, Starbucks drip coffee is like getting a meth injection! Immediate symptoms: increased heartbeat, "speedy" feeling, fidgeting, etc.

Also, I hear you on water temps. At home I use an aeropress and 195 degree(F) water for coffee pressing. To me, there really is a taste difference (less bitterness, mainly) if I leave the water just below boiling, but some people don't see any difference and like their water hotter.

Experimentation seems to be the only way to get to your caffeine happy place!
The ABC had a story today on pumped hydro storage: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-06-07/how-does-pumped-hydro-...

The Snowy 2.0 scheme looks promising: 2 GW max power, 350 GWh max storage, A$3.8-4.5 billion. Online ~2024. Just approve the bloody thing already.

For comparison, Tesla's 'world biggest battery' aka the Hornsdale Power Reserve, is 100 MW max power, 129 MWh storage, and cost ~A$100 million. (cheaper per Watt, but about 60 times more expensive per Wh) Built in 4 months!

Yes, and it cannot not be so - a rotating pressure-dipole generator is a very effective radiator of sound. Helicopters are noisy for what they can lift, and scaling down the size and multiplying the number of rotors makes it worse. It is a hard problem to solve because there's not much that can be changed, and a lot fewer that haven't been exploited yet. I think this will remain the last problem after all the control and power issues have been solved.

All the flying-car makers are coy about how noisy their machines are.

Bitcoin has crazy volatility compared to gold and even USD. Sure, you can use it for speculation, but no one in their right mind uses Bitcoin as a store of value.

Doesn't seem to be much discussion about the environmental impact of remote work.

Lately I have been feeling how ridiculous it is for me to drive everyday to a office and sit at a computer then drive home. So inefficient from an energy usage perspective.

I see so many jobs that could easily be remote if people could deal with the issues outlined here.

Imagine the difference in traffic and office space if every job that could be remote was. I would think the environmental impact would be huge.

In a utopian view I could see us returning to small villages as there is no need to move to the city. You could live in smaller communities wherever you like with others you get along with in person.

High speed internet has made this possible, but it seem like we have just scratched the surface of how it could change society and the planet.

StackOverflow has a fairly bad reputation despite its widely perceived usefulness (the community is often seen as toxic and hostile to beginners).

What do you make of the claim that this technology is better for long term storage than battery storage?
Yes. In fact, Joey Hess built a tool that backs all that info from the Github API to a git repository: https://github-backup.branchable.com/
By decentralization I mean something different, decentralization of energy production. The fact that, say, a village can decide to install a solar panel array to satisfy some of their energy demands, and they don't have to rely on powerful (and often global) energy companies who mine coal or process oil, is an important game changer in terms of power relations between people.
Ride Home: this could work with a minimal web browser. something like wap comes to mind.
+1. I'm the exact opposite. I've been offered remote jobs a couple of times, but there's just something about going to an office, talking with people in real life, even getting interrupted during work is something i tend to like. Working from home, or even from a co-working space doesn't make me happy.

A lot of the things mentioned in this manifesto are perfectly valid for non-remote work as well. Making sure knowledge is written down, shorter and fewer meetings, 'results of work over the hours put in' seem useful in any work setting.

That may be true, but I've always just assumed the talent leaves. It's a big-ass place, with smart people, and lots of people in IT -- I've always assumed that anyone I speak to at an outsourced firm is someone who wasn't smart enough to get a tech job abroad.

The advantages are not all personal. The environmental benefits that come from reduced travel and reduced need for office space (which sits empty much of the time) is no joke. Neither is the economic / environmental benefit of freeing people up to live anywhere, not just where the corporate offices / factories happen to have located. That means people can go where the housing is available and affordable. We can repopulate areas -- like many midwestern small towns and medium towns -- that have emptied out as jobs have moved away.

These are very significant societal benefits, not personal ones.

That said, remote working isn't going to work for everyone. Extroverts, especially, I think tend to struggle with it a little bit.

Co-working spaces could be a big deal if they catch up (i.e. if real estate prices drop enough so they can be affordable to everyone). They would create small "commercial" regions around them with a small scale economy around them, and that could be transformative for neighborhoods.

These are both true, furthermore a lot of the bigger players became big as a result of the initial round of solar rebate schemes - where a lot of low quality solar installations were put up. Now a lot of these companies are doing much larger jobs without the necessary skillsets. There's a bit of a minefield of shoddy installers still out there - look at the Crap Solar Facebook page for an insider look (there are some horrific installations).

Despite all this, I've seen a huge amount of interest in investors wanting large scale commercial and utility scale solar projects. From what I know, solar engineering consultancies are turning jobs away due to the demand being so great.
