You are taking a very narrow view on the energy use here. In modern economy you can think of pretty much any thing as made of energy. You are comparing how much your new tv is pulling out of a socket to your old tv, but did you figure the energy cost of producing that new tv into your calculations? I'd look at an even bigger picture. Like to travel? Now compare how much more energy must be used to go in an airplane fast compared to traveling on foot slow. You mention the car, now the radical thing to do would be to ditch the car completely, but then your life quality invariable would go down. It is great that waste goes down and we can argue that the fact that your old car consumed more fuel tells us that it was wasteful compared to the new one, but note even to cut that waste required energy expenditure in the form of people working on it, computer power for sims, etc, and, of course, manufacture.

And I disagree that higher energy expenditure overall will mean lower quality of life later on. We are swimming in energy even though we currently might not know how to convert some forms of it into productive use. That'll change.

By the way, don't get me wrong, I am totally for cutting waste on the local level just because it frees some of the money (and that is proxy for resources) for other, more productive uses.
If you find jinq useful, I'd like to also suggest a pet project of my own:

Well, the animation is inherent to the SVG, so either browsers would need to support that, or some kind of JavaScript library is needed to extract that (probably giving Edge animation support while it's at it)
Wow. Yes. I have seen this book recommended endlessly online, but I found it near unreadable when I finally picked it up.

It reads like a student paper trying to meet a word count. Constant detours, references, and needless, lengthy quoting (says Prof xyz, in his paper [paper] of June 8th....) to pad out a blog post into a book.

I did find its aimlessness useful for falling asleep, though.
I mean, it's just a basic tenant of commercial insurance. If you hold lots of cash, you are at a higher risk for theft. This is evaluated when you are in the process of acquiring commercial insurance. You basically just asked me for a reference for whether or not you get wheels when you buy a car. Of course you get wheels, you just need to work with the dealership to determine what they look like!

Just to give you a reference, here's a special package Nationwide offers: https://www.nationwide.com/crime-insurance.jsp

That's pretty much a standard use case. IIRC the rule of thumb is that if the container isn't expected to hold many elements then the default choice is to use std::vector no questions asked. Otherwise, random insertions and deletions in a sizable container requires a std::list.
Don't forget there are typically 8-10 paid holidays (New Year, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas) for full-time salaried employees in the US, plus whatever paid vacation they choose to use. Usually 2000 hours is a good number for 40 hrs/wk full time employment (without PTO).

This post speaks to much of what we've implemented and discovered in the last couple of years at Magento. Our 1.5-year-old Community Engineering team was created from top core architects and given a mandate to facilitate contribution by our rather large open source developer community. We've managed to get core code contribution to >50% of all new code in that time - mostly by implementing controls and processes which reduce the burden by encouraging alignment, quality, and organization. Think automated CI, issue and feature backlog grooming, test coverage, and hands-on workshops around the world.

It's a tough thing to defend on legal grounds because you have to explain how mask laws don't violate the first amendment. There could be some justification that would hold up, but as far as I know the issue hasn't gone before the Supreme Court.
I'd argue that a lot of people are just following the tune painted in the media and culture as a whole without thinking through whether or not that's what they want.

It's a real shame that building a company has become about racing to the cash (with very little conscious reasoning as to why) and not about building meaningful products, services, and teams that will be around for the long-term.

As a guy running a "tiny" company that just did a little over 100K in revenue its first year, I couldn't be happier. There's only three of us (two of which are contractors) and the current goal is to intentionally limit our team size to no more than 20 over the next few years.
I believe it would be much smaller initially. Later the larger organization would be worth a crazy amount but hopefully not end up in a world of corruption. :/

You might be able to do something like this with eSports teams or streamers.
Hopefully you can get in to underlying expression tree which can then be converted to SQL, graphql, rest ect. Code as data.
Very basic game theory.

Let's say there's 10 arbitrary 'units' of positive externalities, i.e. economic activity in a region, that comes from HQ coming to town. If no subsidies/tax-breaks/etc. are allowed, then those 10 units go to some town, chosen by some other merit. The 'people' win with 10.

If those 10 units are large in proportion to the marginal advantage a town has for selection (i.e. workforce availability, business fundamentals like logistics, etc.), then it's obvious what competing towns do: they offer up a slice of those 10 units. If town A offers 1 (keeping 9), town B can just offer 2, etc. So it's a race to the bottom, where nearly all the positive externalities are passed to the business in a bid to capture whatever remains. Even if you give up 9, it's worth it to have 1 vs. 0.

This kind of competitive behavior is fundamental to markets, and is the reason why price is so very often right at the 'pain point' for buyers and sellers.

The remaining question is whether those positive externalities (the jobs and economic activity a business can bring to a region) are rightly held by the people or by the business.
Companies like Sinclair would probably love that, they can more easily control lots of small, key media companies.
The sheer bulk of unknown unknowns in environmental tech

Is why I would bet that lots of people will die while we're getting the hang of it.

You may be right that humanity’s destiny is in the far reaches of the solar system, but it could go many other ways. Maybe we’ll die in the dirt

Tell you what: If we all end up dead, I'll buy you drinks! But if I'm not wrong, you can owe me my net worth, rounded down to the nearest billion.

All of which is to say, please stop passing off something that is less than a hunch as an argument

Call it what you like. I call it a conviction.

Claiming to know what will happen in 50 years is a joke, in 100 years delusion, and in 1000 years religion.

Don't sweat it. I'm not about to judge you morally and strap you to a tree over it.

There are so many branches and twists and turns, both positive and negative and just plain unforeseen that futurism is crap.

How about, "Science Fiction?"
It's quite demonstrably true that contracts have been used to constrain government action over and over again in US history. See for example Reclamation water contracts in the west vs. all manner of conservation laws.
Maybe something along the lines of having Firefox/Chrome/etc allowing people to specfiy "extra" extension/addon repos to query?

That'd let external places create collections of extensions/addon's, which would probably open things up enough.
How would you value mining? What's the figure you'd assign to it? As the activity it is certainly valuable to ensure the validity of the blockchain. In my mind that's the function of the market to assign value. Of course with the technology being so new we can expect fluctuations, but I think eventually it'll settle down to some stable level that is acceptable to all market participants.
A couple of Stigs actually have been revealed per the Wiki on the character -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stig -- Perry McCarthy (black Stig) and Ben Collins (first white Stig). Both were revealed out of show of course.

We don't know who the current Stig is and it's entirely possible in my opinion that there have been "stand in Stigs" as well. Obscuring the face with a tinted-shield racing helmet eliminates a big method people tell others apart. You'd have to rely on clues like height / build instead. Makes it easier to swap out drivers for that character.
Still, if this is total hours divided by workforce - at least in Japan I believe women are still more often stay at home, than in eg Norway? Not sure about South Korea.

This law makes sense to me (and I say that as an immigrant myself).

Immigrants are flocking to Denmark because it is a stable, prosperous society with generous benefits. But that stability and prosperity wasn't conjured up from thin air. It was built by the Danes for a homogenous group of people. If you want to join them, I find it perfectly reasonable for Danes to demand assimilation into Danish culture.

If you have problems with that, then don't go to Denmark. But it is wrong to fail at building your own country, seeking refuge in a better place and yet insisting on playing by your own rules in the new place.
I hope this law is used to rebalance how unfairly the US has treated the EU in services.
> Yet another example of the surprisingly poor living quality in the USA in aggregate terms relative to GDP.

If your friend grows up in a rich neighborhood and all of his friends drive BMWs, and he's upset because he's driving a brand new Accord, would you feel bad for him? Probably not, but this is how people criticize the USA's relative poverty and income inequality.

If you disregard absolute terms and only look things relative to the mean, then of course that means countries with low populations and high in homogeniety (e.g. scandinavian countries) will look superior in comparison.
>So he was elected by a majority of the European Council

No. He needs a majority in both the Council _and_ the directly elected EU parliament. Nothing homeopathic about that.

Like in many democratic countries, the head of the EU executive body is not directly elected by the people.
I know you'll be troubled a lot tonight, but do hear me out as well.

I have posted the problem I faced a few days ago but received no response.

I know my Gmail username (abc@domain.com) and password. I have access to the backup email provided during registration. A mobile number was associated with it, but now I do not have access to that number, nor do I remember that.

I do remember the month and year of account creation.

Code on the recovery email is “accepted” by the Gmail but the 'algorithm' says, “Google can't verify that this account belongs to you” every single time.

What is my recourse?

PS: Please help the needy persons first, I don't have any emails or data in that. Just want to delete that account for good and to challenge Gmail's algorithms.
Thank you for commenting. I know it can be hard with the anxiety. I appreciate getting your insight.

I agree with you. These streams can distract you when you feel alone. That might even be a good thing for some.

But I'm trying to figure out why so many people are lonely in the first place, that we would need these streams to fill the void. Maybe we've always been this disconnected, and it just feels worse now. But I have noticed more people feeling isolated and alone.

I remember when I was in college, I felt so much pressure with my courseload that I hid away for days binge watching a tv show. I was avoiding writing a term paper. I was also avoiding my classmates.

I work with teenagers in my profession. And I'm seeing lots of high school students dealing with the same type of anxiety and withdrawl. Is it normal? At that age? Is this becoming more widespread? And if so, what is causing it?

I read this last year, and it confirms what I'm seeing. One of the schools mentioned is actually in my area.

Again, thank you for your comments.
Yep, which shows why some of the recent push to criminalize hate speech is problematic: it's used to target fringe groups most people don't like now, but in the future it could be used against anyone else, similar to how mask laws have been used against protesters more recently.

// By contrast, Rust (and I believe Haskell?) require exhaustive matching:
let MyValue::String(ref s) = map[&200]; // Invalid!

This is called irrefutable pattern matching in Rust terminology. Haskell actually doesn't enforce this at compile time. Consider the program

data Foo = A Int | B Int

x :: Foo
x = A 10

-- Do an invalid pattern match
y :: Int
y = let (B i) = x in i

main :: IO ()
main = do
print y

This compiles without warning and gives the error at runtime:

foo: foo.hs:8:9-17: Irrefutable pattern failed for pattern B i

I commute by car, but frequently take the DC area Metro train to go into town for recreation. It's actually pretty quiet; people don't talk loudly usually. The exception is sometimes on the weekend when you have tourists on the train.

At home, it's pretty quiet too: I live in a tiny condo on the ground floor. Sometimes I hear sounds from the plumbing from people flushing toilets above, or from someone dropping something in the shower above, but otherwise it's very quiet. Large dogs aren't allowed here.

Years ago, I lived in a subdivision with my own house. It was much noisier: every neighbor around me had dogs that barked at all hours, we even got into a war with some of them that went to court (they lost: the police testified they heard dogs barking and that was that, since there was a noise ordinance). One neighbor had friends that would drive up to pick them up every day and honk the horn (the police were no help here). That neighborhood was miserable.

I recommend NOT buying your own house in a subdivision, and moving into a condo instead, preferably in a fairly new (and somewhat expensive) high-rise. The whole culture of cars, motorcycles, big dogs, etc., and the individuality that goes with that is anathema to people who want peace and quiet.

It's not you who's the asshole, it's Americans who live in the suburbs.
UI latency is also a huge related issue.
Can you remind me what this has to do with land value tax? Also prop 13 is much more than just a proposition for seniors. It will maybe help the first couple generations of seniors, but it also allows property owning funds to secure low taxes in perpetuity

My original point is that if you want to own land forever without “the neighborhood changing”, don’t buy a plot in a city or suburban area. You have no right to enjoy the benefits of living in a city while forcing everyone else to respect your rights of a homesteader on a ranch in unincorporated land. People had to deal with rising property prices and change to make the city a desirable place to live, but as soon as you get property all you can think of is keeping everything just the way it is. That’s why it’s selfish.

I think it's easy to forget about how widespread the reach of these platforms is. The article talks about fans from all over the world.

I'm sure there are a number of chronically super depressed, super isolated individuals, but even just a few people here and there going through a rough patch can add up to huge viewerships on a global scale.

Also, when I was sick in school growing up I had shit daytime TV to watch. Binging on a YouTube stream might have been more entertaining.
>Am I the only person still using Python 2 and LetsEncrypt? SQLAlchemy? Postgres?

When the alternative is to use officially supported versions with minimal work, yes. You're likely one of the few people using them, or you're paying someone to do it for you. Like if you're willing to pay someone for support then that's fine, but its not like this is going to be free.

>First, do you have links or other references? I'd really like to read up on those.

We're talking about a future. But python seems to average ~2 CVEs per year, which is a great track record, but means you'll have 10 unpatched vulnerabilities by 2025.

>Networking in Python to me means Twisted.

Ok, that's fine. Do you think the twisted devs are going to support a deprecated python version for 5 years? Especially since the majority of their work recently has been to fully support python3? The writing is on the wall.

>Heck, we're probably going to see 2.4 in the wild til forever too.

Where do you see any open source projects that are compatible with python2.4? (it didn't support `with` or conditional expressions). Sure there's code still running that's written for python 2.4, but its code that was written at $SOMECO 15 years ago and hasn't been touched since. Sure that exists, but that's not a particularly enviable situation.

>am I the only person using Python 2 in 2025 who has to use HTTP3

I mean probably. That's the entire point of using modern, supported tools. They get support and keep up to date with modern technology. There aren't a whole lot of Java 5 compatible libraries that support HTTP2. That's the price you pay for using unsupported legacy software: not being able to use modern technology.

>Adding in B.S. like PEP 572 only makes it harder to kill.

Ah yes, entirely backwards compatible changes truly make it impossible to upgrade! I'm not particularly a fan of PEP 572 (in fact I actively dislike it), but this is just nonsense.
Ideally, a spike in traffic to your site shouldn't result in taking down your CMS. That's why static site generators are so popular.
Adding to other factors (such as buying cheaply from government after communism) I will add other tree: 1.) house ownership in traditionally rural families where it is seen as "return to normal" after communism 2.) less trust to economical system - if you don't own flat you are much more vulnerable in case of unemployment 3.) rent is almost as high as mortgage - if you can afford to buy you will bc it is almost the same money.

Lyft is an order of magnitude worse at providing wheelchair accessible vehicles than Uber:

If you're not adverse to wearing ear buds while biking (I know some people are, for situational awareness reasons) I recommend using FBReader with the TTS plugin for 'reading' ebooks when you can't have your eyes on the screen. I do this while running. The computer voice is offputing for an hour or two but if you push through that it becomes a great way to get through books using time that would have otherwise been book-free.

I've only read the books, not seen the TV version, but the Expanse universe relies on the "Epstein Drive" as a magical plot device to ignore any inconveniences of intra-system travel.

This alone makes it pure science-fantasy that is unlikely to happen on any timescale and unsuitable as a guide to what our future holds.
They can mortgage their houses to pay the property tax. Having >$1M of accumulated wealth can help with many problems, you know.

I’m not sure why you keep talking about homeless though.
It's highly dependent on what kind of factory you're talking about. In medical/aerospace or other high tech manufacturing, even equipment that sees high utilization for 3-5 years can easily keep over 70% resale value if maintained properly.

However, to suggest that 60-70% capital recovery is certain is silly. Maybe if you're manufacturing high precision parts for jet engines or missiles or something but then your capex is going to be in the tens of millions before you even get started and recovering the capital could take an indefinite amount of time.
