It's relatively easy for one person to source clean power themselves, just means that technically your payment goes to a wind farm instead of the grid as a whole, but really doesn't change much for the grid. It's much harder for everyone to get clean power, then you get very advanced issues balancing the variable nature of renewable generation.

In this case I believe it means carbon-free, so Nuclear is still technically viable though very unlikely any new Nuclear will be built. Will be mostly existing hydro, nuclear and geothermal with new solar & wind phasing out gas plants.

If you're not willing to risk users making requests with stale permissions (which is a risk you shouldn't accept lightly), then JWT requires that you hit something at the start of processing every request anyway. It can either be a token blacklist service (really just a key-value lookup), or it can be an auth/permission service.

The auth service/query is higher per-request overhead, but it also keeps things simple. And simple is what you want unless you're dealing with ridiculous scale.

clearly won't help, if you're even mildly numerate (2400 whole people per hour at full capacity)

So you're defining "help" == "completely solve." Would you say that a program offering discounts to people who carpool to Dodger's stadium would not help unless it completely solved the problem? Would a gondola going to Dodger's stadium "not help?"

It's also farcical to pretend this will happen without enormous piles of public money, both implicit in terms of right of way, and explicit via enormous subsidies.

The whole point of the boring company is to get the tunnel boring infrastructure out of the government-laden, subsidy-heavy mode of operation. It's the same overall strategy as was behind SpaceX.

is their contract even public?

"GA had to provide how and what they stored and we would only sign a contract with them if they allowed Mozilla to opt-out of Google using the data for mining and 3rd parties."

(emphasis mine) am I the only one who finds the usage of the word provide odd? Literally it means GA had to list what and how (insinuating they blindly trust GA to do only what it says it does). Not-literally but the flow of the phrase makes it seem like they want to convey "GA had to prove how and what ..." but without actually making that claim. In the case Mozilla does have proof why don't they share the anonymization framework with proofs? In case they don't we are supposed to be OK with their feigned naivety?
Well for Martina Hingis that's not too surprising:

- Czech parents (and lived there till ~7)
- moved to (German-part of) Switzerland: the local language is Swiss German, but school is in German (i.e., everyone speaks both of those)
- everyone in Switzerland is taught one of the other official languages, usually German in the non-German speaking areas, and French in the German speaking areas (fluency will vary, but for instance I had 7 years of German by the end of high school)
- everyone learns English these days ;)

I would expect that most children who moved to German-speaking Switzerland at a youngish age would be fluent in at least 4 languages...

I don't know what you're working with, but you don't need a JWT to figure out access in the request pipeline. A session ID does the same thing and allows you to associate a session to a user, and most frameworks are capable of doing this already (e.g. django has middleware that can do this)

Indian government passed a new law which provision for 6 month paid maternity leave. Sounds very progressive. But 2 things: 90% of women work in unorganized sector so no effect on them. Employers have started showing reluctance in hiring them and about 12 million women could lose jobs due to this new law.
OK finally found it in the FAQ for those that are slow like me:

Is "zero touch" secure? How is it a second factor if it approves automatically?
Yes, zero touch is safe. The security behind Krypton is established when you pair Krypton with your browser (via the extension) by scanning the QR code. This ensures that only your specific browser will be able to talk to Krypton. Krypton and your browser establish a secure cryptographic channel using keys that only your phone and computer have. There is NO trusted third-party.

Two-factor is simply a way to defend against compromised passwords. If someone knows your password and attempts to login then they'll be hit with a second-factor challenge. Since this attacker is remote and doesn't have access to your browser they won't be able to talk to Krypton.
That's exactly the sort of logic that traditionally inflates tunnel infrastructure projects.
What you explain in your third paragraph sounds an awful lot like quotas.
Rebadging is when you primarily change the branding of a product (and some customizable aspects of it). Sometimes these are white label products whose entire purpose is to be rebadged, other times it’s another companies offering.

> "How exactly is trump promoting censorship here? Isn't he doing the exact opposite? Isn't he promoting free speech?"

We are talking about a president who routinely threatens punitive government actions against detractors. There exists a line between criticizing bad journalism, and using executive powers to threaten critics. The later is what dictators do.

In the case of Google, they maintain their search algorithm is not politically biased. Unless we have substantive evidence proving otherwise I see no reason not to believe them.

It seems what Trump is suggesting here, is a government regime controlling what search results we see... That is a very scary prospect, right now.

I have a brother working as a journalist, who toils away fact checking, all day long. I can assure you he and his colleagues do way more due-diligence, fact-checking, and gathering of supporting evidence, than the Office of the Press Secretary could even try to pretend to.

It's so easy to get up in a press-conference say something patently false, when you don't allow any dissent.

If you don't like criticism it's "Fake News".

If you can't see what Trump is doing when he calls the media "Anti-American", you have the wool over your eyes. It's dictator 101.

Definitely. Though I'd expand on one dimension

These benefits must necessarily cause at least one, but often more than one of:

- increase in product price

- decrease in product quality

- decrease in liquid compensation

- decrease in profit margins

For those that argue along the lines of "profit margins ought to be reduced" should also take into account that the profit margins are already often set as low as possible by the nature of market competition, so there's often not a lot to work with. Most companies globally don't get the luxury of holding everything constant but cutting costs of goods sold like we do in software because most companies don't catastrophically overspend in costs of goods sold like we do.
New OpenStack cloud release embraces bare metal
I'm referring to things that affect ability (things like skin color are different but not unequal in this regard). Even if certain small communities had some variations they become meaningless once you reach the scale of "asian", "european", or even just "chinese" so once your are talking about a group of any significant size it averages out. I used the term "necessarily" because by statistics on that large of a sample they will be equal unless there is a reason to think the underlying distribution between those groups is different (which I don't think there is on a large scale).
A "third" perspective; I think there's at least some self-censorship (In certain dimensions, don't let me paint this as some universal or even majority thing) from people who tend to write civil, well presented arguments. You can read my post history if you want, and I've _certainly_ had some of my posts get greyed with rapidity (Obviously I selfishly found them to be innocuous but others clearly disagree, I find in situations where the status quo is _aggressively_ in one direction, even expressing moderation is caught in the blast radius), so I avoid the really hot subjects with a ten foot pole; you learn that it just doesn't end well, especially for those of us who have associated our professional lives with this site.

You can notice this more obviously if you watch new, that certain topics reach and get to the front page VERY RAPIDLY and stay there, while others are flagged or fall off with prejudice. I'm not sure I'd call it a huge problem, and the parent post is probably a bit hyperbolic, (Certainly I give the mods benefit of the doubt, even though I've gently disagreed with dang via comment prior) but it's definitely present.

Reminds me of one counterintuitive historical point about labor - free workers are more productive than slaves despite overseers and long hours. The industrial revolution failed to take off in slave states early on despite the clear apparent advantage of unpaid factory workers. The two conditions are in no way equivalent of course but the point is incentives also matter and "worthless expenses" may be pivotal to success.

There may in fact be some indirect benefits resulting from this change including less distracted workers, lower turnover rate as talent feels less pushed into a "mommy" track or to seek more flexible workplaces, and increased desirability as a workplace to reduce recruiting costs and increase the magnitude of available talent.

One of Henry Ford's principles of paying his workers well wasn't just so they would tolerate his control freak nature but to gather the best talent. Relatedly petty annoyances of dress code and schedule were part of what caused the traitorous eight to depart for Silicon Valley.

While it may not pay off fully on the balance sheets it isn't a complete loss either. Potentially it could pay off long term.
Keeping an eye on local news helps prevent getting screwed, too. The highway passing a property is slated for safety improvements. One particular idiosyncrasy of the design was going to severely inconvenience us, our tenants, their customers, and our neighbors. We lobbied the highway department to change the design slightly, and they did change it. This is the same state highway department that has happily put dozens of local businesses under. A rare actual case of "Hanlon's Razor". If we hadn't paid attention we'd have had no recourse.

Your face may be dry, but it will be in the dark. There is quite simply NO KNOWN TECHNOLOGY that can cost effectively meet peak demands other than fossil fuel plants.

I very deeply disagree with your sentiment. This kind of thing is about normalising authoritarian intrusion into your life, and total destruction of privacy. Radical transparency for all is the worst possible scenario -- you, me, we all have secrets; Secrets are important for business, they are important for friendship, they are important for the continued prosperity of society. There are many things that you dont have the right to know, and I have the right not to tell you. You are talking about coercively forcing all secrets into the open. I can tell you that many would not live productive, or even long lives if this was the case.

I'm a huge baseball fan and saw this Twitter thread this morning[0]. Definitely an interesting scroll. There was a meeting yesterday at Dodger stadium to discuss this, that was announced just 12 hours prior. I'll bullet some high points.

* Some of the commenters at the meeting were actually SpaceX employees.

* It's an idea to boost attendance, meanwhile Dodgers led the majors in average attendance per game. (It's true the Dodgers have a lot of season tickets to companies, who might not actually use them).

* Could only transport 3% of fans.

This is a great starting guide. As someone that heavily researched procurements for awhile these are good off the shelf resources. It takes awhile to understand the specific language and codes (NAICS, labor codes, etc) used for each of these contracts, but after awhile they start to make some sense.

I would also recommend taking a look at budget planning documents and other resources from the DoD Comptroller (https://comptroller.defense.gov/budget.aspx) continue to follow-up on task orders that are available under massive "ID/IQ" or BPA contracts in the billions of dollars (these are often withheld from the public but available to the firms that won the original work, though the actual values can be found sometimes in FPDS under sub-codes.

Additionally, many of these folks hold various BPA / GSA Schedule contracts and sometimes their lead officers will respond to inquiries.

Example: GSA Schedule 70, MOBIS, Navy SEAPORT-E, etc.

Happy hunting!
You can't dismiss the waste problem out of hand given the environmental problems at places like Hanford [0] and the costs of safely decommissioning old plants, especially damaged ones like Fukushima [1]. There's abundant evidence that it's a costly, poisonous mess if done badly.

Personally I don't think this is the biggest problem with nuclear power, and it's certainly not in and of itself a reason to switch to alternatives. But it's not an issue to ignore either.

Antelope eat grass and breed. If they eat faster than the grass can regrow, they starve and die, and their bodies become grass.

Death through starvation is unpleasant. Suppose they could agree to breed less, as to not expand beyond carrying capacity of the place they live in. They would lead a happier life.

Point being, some feedback-driven systems are good, and some are bad.

As to why to work remotely while living in the valley:
I've found that when I come into a new job at the principal engineer level I'm usually met by the "smartest guy in the room" syndrome. There are usually 2-3 other principal engineers or architects that are usually very particular about how they like things. They tend to not be particularly open to new ideas and they generally don't like to be especially creative when it isn't their own pet project. So, I find it very difficult to become an "expert" on anything because anything "different" is seen as a threat to the people that were "the smartest guy in the room" before I joined. And so the jobs tend to degrade to just doing what I'm told, not looking to improve anything, deferring to everyone else's ideas and just not being creative at all. So I've found it pretty soul crushing work.

As a consultant, my customers are looking for an expert. They WANT me to be the expert. I can write online or write a book on a topic and then market myself as an expert around that. So when I sit down to think through solutions to difficult problems, the other people around the table actually WANT me to have new ideas and the architects and principal engineers don't feel as threatened or challenged because they still get to keep their small slice of the universe exactly as they want it. So, to answer your question as to why I would want to work remotely. It's really about the people.

Consulting vs. contracting: how do you see this distinction? I see that there is a difference. How would you describe it?

Thanks for the tip on Steve Blank. I'll definitely check that out.
