...and it's a very good energy store when much of your energy demand is for heating/cooling with target temperatures in the "habitable zone".

The only real challenge (but a big one) is getting the incentive structures right so that they are not "hacked" (e.g. pretending to be a dispatchable consumer at high supply but actually just switching to the conventionally billed socket at times of high demand) and keep inevitable oversteering/pork cycle within a reasonable margin.
You may have seen some of these balloons appear here and there, too: https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=Biogasanlage

Having now read the wikipedia article, I see that my answer to my youngest daughter was much too simple. "Daddy, what's that?" "That white balloon next to the barn? It's full of cow fart. The cows in the barn fart, the farmer keeps the fart in the balloon and then burns it to make electricity when people need lots of electricity". According to Wikpedia it's a little more complex. But I like the simple version better.

Whatever the source, it's gas the farmer can burn whenever the spot price for electricity is high.

LGPL or not, if I remember correctly, F-Secure does not enforce a valid signature of the 7-Zip library, so you can replace it yourself. Don't quote me on this though.

However, F-Secure applies several patches to harden 7-Zip and to fix bugs that are not yet fixed in the public 7-Zip version. So it is not clear whether it is always such a good idea to do this.

Someone elsewhere mentioned that people worked out the heat per area output of this 5GHz chip; 2W per square millimeter.

This entire chip is a pure joke, there is nothing 5GHz about a silicon die that is about to tear itself apart under the heat stress comparable to early/late orbital reentry or a tenth of a fusion reactor (5 and 10 W per mm^2 respectively).

It feels like someone demonstrated me their race car and then I spot them swapping out the red hot glowing gearing that is dropping liquid metal on the asphalt after one round.

The motherboard they used also looked similarly ridiculous, it had at least two dozen VRM phases to handle the probably around kilowatt of power.

A fire extinguisher will likely have to be sold along with any such CPU if they ever sell this. And I doubt it. They promise 5GHz and they will either massively disapoint everyone or somehow manage to wizard up a 5GHz 28c CPU by Q4 (which is when the IIRC promised to unleash/release this onto consumers).

> One way to see it is that the database is a microservice that manages data for all the other microservices and its API is (for example) SQL.

That's a good point, especially since, in the common (or at least initial) situation, that's how it's approached.

However, I'm wary of taking the concept to an extreme [1] in that many modern RDBMSes are very much not "micro". Besides the storage optimizations that the article mentions, modern RDBMSses are capable embedding programmatic business logic (e.g. stored procedures, triggers), but there seems to be a categorical avoidance of using these features by most devs, even if it means moving huge quantities of data to a different microservice (presumably across a network) to perform the processing.

> Unfortunately Rails or Django or any other framework's migrations are so much more convenient compared to maintaining a schema manually.

The article addresses this by recommending code generation, which is, essentially, the converse of SQL-generation. Is either one more manual than the other?

Perhaps the generated SQL seems less manual, because the database, in that situation, isn't a first-class citizen, as it were. A dropped table is, essentially, invisible to the developer. That is, I believe, the author's point, though.. the appearance of convenience is at the expense of actively ignoring pitfalls.

> Any database centric migration tool would have to update the models for all the projects using it. That's not easy AFAIK.

I'm not sure I follow.. Are you describing one database with multiple "client" applications? If so, it's not clear how an app-centric model would be any easier, with multiple apps all wanting to perform duplicate migrations (or.. duplicated/conflicting rollbacks?).

[1] Granted, this could be a critique of the "microservice" model in general
Even on iOS 11, it's possible to see the time consumed in different apps.

The problem is that we manufacture very little, and a disproportionate part of our GDP is services. If you take away services, there's not a lot of money coming into our economy. The size of our economy is tiny in comparison (smaller than UK's) and per-capita income is one of the lowest - there's not a lot of headroom to grow for companies targeting the domestic market.

The point I'm making is, until manufacturing and industry take off, we won't offset exported IT Services with domestically focused tech of the "software" kind.

This means "Google is going to acquire GitLab".

To me, this reads as "Google might not acquire GitLab".

There's no way that Apple, of all companies, would provide this information to third party apps via an API. Even if Apple put this under the permission request model and add a new permission, we should keep in mind that most people don't understand app permissions well. Imagine a scenario where WhatsApp prompts the user to allow it to get usage information to "help" the user, and in turn starts spying on activity on Telegram or competing apps and shares that with HQ so that they can work on manipulating the user even more to shift their attention to WhatsApp and away from other apps. Such a scenario sounds highly disturbing to me.

Social platforms already have so much on their end to manipulate users into giving them their attention. There's no good reason to trust any of them with such information.
> The media, though, never paid enough attention (or was possibly subverted by Theranos itself) to the naysayers.

This is not the most amazing thing, at all. I'm not surprised that "the media" with their limited access, didn't get the full story.

Rather, I'm more surprised about the informed investors, who invested a lot of money, and had access or at least the ability to push for it. How did they invest so much money in something with seemingly so little backing?

> These incidents ought to remind us the exponentially important role media plays in our lives and how important it is that we come up with a framework to penalize misleading journalism, while at the same time, preserving the independence of media.

I don't disagree with the sentiment about the media, but I think this is a singularly bad example - who cares what the public thought about Theranos - the public didn't lose money here.

Because the implied part is a bit obvious to any programmer would had to go through the 90s under Wintel domination.

They want programmers to use their tools so they can exploit a dominant position and crush competition. They have been charged (and condemned) for abuse of monopolies as late as 2013.

I don't trust a company that used to be dominant and evil and suddenly as it becomes weaker tries to play nice.

The GAFA are problematic, but their ethos is nowhere as bad as what MS was when it was the dominant player of the software world.
A man like Murdoch cares whether a company he invested in is going to make him money. This means finding out how the company is actually doing, instead of simply trusting the documents presented to him. What better way to do this than to have a reporter snoop around?

By letting reporters in his hire just do their jobs, Murdoch probably gets privileged access to a great deal of secrets and speculations. Carreyrou's reporting could very well have persuaded Murdoch not to make further investments in Theranos, thereby saving him billions.

No, you're just uploading the source code (although, in many cases nowadays, that's the important stuff).

The "actual data" doesn't get uploaded to Github but Microsoft has been working on getting their hands on that too -- see Azure, Windows 10 telemetry, etc.

(I used to actually like Microsoft Windows -- having ran every consumer version from 3.0 up to 7 and every business version from WFWG 3.11 up to 2008 -- and even earned several Microsoft certifications. I even taught courses on Microsoft server operating systems at a .edu for a few years. But... I've probably only spent 5 minutes on a Windows 8.x machine (and it wasn't mine) and have never used Windows 10 (or 2012 or 2016). Unless something major happens, I will never again run any Microsoft operating system on anything I own. For the last several years, I have simply been unable to trust them as a company.)
I was a very early kubernetes adopter and moved to production very very fast, as of now I been using k8s in prod for about 3 years.
it was not easy, we needed to create some tooling around it to have a decent workflow for all of engineering for it.

but now is a total delight the amount of automation and guesswork for engineers is minimal they have everything at reach either from a ui or a CLI tool.

I would say the biggest downside to kubernetes is that at first there appears to be a lot of magic to deploy it, official docs recommend tools that hide all of the details about how k8s work and what each component actually do. so it took a while to figure it all out. k8s is still missing some things for high available production deployments like Multi DC and Multiple regions, you will have to do a lot on your own for deployments like that.

__cfduid is a Cloudflare cookie that is used to determine whether the browsing session has passed basic threat control, and for domains that have configured captchas whether those have been passed.

It is placed on all domains that proxy via Cloudflare and the existence of it (when verified, etc) signals not to present challenge/captcha pages.

The list of domains above are a list of 3rd parties that the saveur.com website links to that also happen to be Cloudflare customers... so we can tell they're using Embedly, Taboola, Viglink, etc.

A quick look around says that not all of the links are on every page so not all cookies are set on every page, but the consent list presented appears to be the superset of all possible cookies to be set by all possible third parties if you were to visit everything on the Saveur web site.

> NAT comes up a lot and that is a major change.

Erm ... you are aware that NAT is not a function of IPv4, right? That IPv4 worked completely without NAT for the first one and a half decades or so? That NAT was invented later as a workaround for the lack of addresses?

IPv6 works exactly like IPv4 in this regard, it's just that you have enough addresses, so you obviously don't continue the workaround for a problem that you don't have anymore, but operate IPv6 networks exactly the same way you would operate IPv4 networks if it weren't for the lack of adresses.

People finally starting to realise that energy systems and grids are more complex than just put a solar cell to your roof. There is minimum level of service has to be provided (even over night) and the balance of production and consumption has to be kept in balance otherwise very bad things happen.
SQLite 3.24 Released with UPSERT Support
Renewable energy is quite predictable: there is sun during the day, and no sun during the night. Wind is a bit less but could be too.

Why not organise accordingly?

First, there are batteries: solar roofs should come with batteries, than will power the house during the night. Authorities could enforce that, and could also build larger energy storages with batteries at a region level (see recent examples from Tesla).

Then, this is mostly communication: why not make the grid and the roof "talk" to each other and the roof be turned off from the grid when there is no need for it? Is it because subsidies or some kind of mandatory buy from the grid that this could be an issue? otherwise there could be incentive to have this better integration with the whole system.

Otherwise, use bitcoin miners, during the day!

Would controlling the media to influence an investment you hold stock in be considered illegal? Similar to insider trading?
I think both can simultaneously be true in a typical outsourcing scenario. The incentive for an outsourcing agency is billable hours and not rocking the boat. Couple that with the different management cultures in the US and India, and it makes perfect sense that the American company would see the quiet and overly optimistic compliant attitude as not being street smart, while the Indian company sees that they are keeping the gravy train rolling and making bank off fat and somewhat stupid American companies.
Why stop at elementary particles? All objects are mental constructs of consistencies our brains detect in data that our senses pick up.

Humans have a great advantage in picking up on what I'd call meta-consistencies (which is basically what abstraction is) - creating a new mental construct by detecting consistencies not only in what the senses pick up, but detecting consistencies in those consistencies, or "thoughts about thoughts" if you will. This gives you numbers and other abstract concepts that enable far more powerful manipulation.
This is my observation and so far it has not been proven wrong.

Fair enough. What does this have to do with the Original Topic? Are you just looking for a place to rant?
What people don't realize is that there are tons of American companies which have offices in Banglore and one in texas or california and nearly all employees are Indian except a few.

Those companies are massively profitable but they come across as American. Indian CEOs (somtimes even CEO is American but not having complete control over the corporation) of those companies send American employees for delivering keynotes. There is lots of this perception of being an American firm. But you'll be amazed there are many Russian,Chinese,Indian etc... As an American LLC.

There is no stripe or Braintree in India.

The day these are launched in India, you'll see boom in product companies operating entirely out of India till then....

Also the best Indian engineers end up working for big companies like FANG.

And they do not like putting their lives on stake for startups. So if you'll not find them begging for jobs at small companies.
I leave my phone behind and take my Apple Watch Series 3 with me sometimes. The watch is much less distracting than a smart phone while keeping basic connectivity.

The Apple Watch Series 3 has almost all of the features of the Light Phone 2 (missing battery life), and is equally as non-distracting. The Light Phone 2 is missing several features of Apple Watch Series 3 like Health Kit and Apple Pay. Configuring call forwarding and message forwarding is much simpler with Apple Watch than it is for Light Phone. Preordering a Light Phone 2 costs $300 and and will ship next April. Buying an Apple Watch Series 3 costs $320 and you can pick you up today.

If you have an iPhone I would recommend an Apple Watch to someone wanting to leave the phone behind from time to time instead of this. This might be more useful to spending days away from a charging station, someone without an iPhone, or someone that doesn't like wearing watches.

I assume there is an Android Watch product with most of the big features of the Apple Watch too.

More cores are better, but you are limited by the slowest chain. So you can have 100 of cores, but if only one chain can't be computed for time duration of the buffer it will stutter. It is not uncommon to have like %15 utilisation on 16+ core cpu and having it stutter, because all cores are too slow to process the chain on time.
