The financial incentive for these mining companies are huge though, as a driver can earn A$120k before even considering the total cost of employment for a remote FIFO site.

Mine site are open cast, mine large tonnage and have long mine lives justifying the large initial investment.

Australian mining operations are also very dry, which helps a lot.
Rain introduces a lot of variables.

Large scale automation is particular to the Australian mining industry at this point.

South African deep level gold mines have been working on this for many years with little success, and I think they have mostly given up.
This is what I thought too. Why not dump them out into long shallow 'trays' which can then dry out in the sun, leaving behind just the salt, which can then be stored/used/disposed of.

Also, I am not an expert.. but, couldn't we use the leftover salt for energy storage?

In which case I don't see why this is such a big issue. Amazon couldn't use it before the change because of their licence use policy, and can't after the change either. So the change represents no change in that respect.

Implementing an interface compatible with something that you can't use for licensing reasons is no biggie. Other projects, Free/free/OS/commercial, do that sort of thing all the time.

I wonder where the problem that drove the change actually was... RH dropping it from their distro is an issue related to the licence change, but I don't get the impression that was the intended target.

I should probably find time to dig back into the details, as I feel I've missed something notable.

I wouldn't trust any 'open source' project which has received funding from investors (especially early stages) - These projects are almost always hype-driven.

Hum, so this mean that instead to have to wait 18 years to have adult male born in mars, we could decide if we want to accelerate the process and save 10 years (and maybe a few malformations), because is biologically possible to do so. Wow!

I am a long-time user of GSuite/ Google Apps for Work and have a custom domain with accounts for my family members. I updated my free tier account from 2009 to a paid subscription in 2014, which I must say now, was a big mistake. The biggest drawback I see currently is that some features will never come to GSuite, like family subscriptions for Google Play Music and sharing of purchased apps and movies. Every purchase made with my GSuite account will be gone, if I choose to cancel my subscription and decide to go somewhere else. This is what really bothers me currently and prevents me from switching to another service. It would be fair, to have a GSuite-to-Free account functionality somewhere for the Google Play purchases. I would also be happy, if they would keep a cheaper GSuite subscription for families with less features but all the family sharing options.

Beside that, I am not completely sure, if it is legal to have purchases/ paid digital goods linked to a monthly/annually paid account.
It's less of a problem because expiry dates add another variable (though I'm not even sure if issuers had to reuse a number with a new expiry date)

It is not so much about the retail investors as it is about the professionals. Most of the market is determined by them, in a world without them, prices will less accurately reflect the 'true value' of stocks. As such, we want to keep them trading. We also kind of want to dis-incentivize the professional traders from engaging in massive corporate espionage. Just because that is an arms-race that isn't very productive.
Another point to consider, a recent study [1] found that comparable amounts of microplastics are deposited on your food from dust falling on it while you eat. So unless you either ban all synthetic textiles from your house/workplace/favourite restaurants, or make sure to always eat underneath a huge laminar flow air extractor, you're gonna ingest some microplastics.

Of course you can dilute brine into sea water.

High concentration brine does not automatically mix into the sea water. It goes to the bottom of the sea and forms a separate layer. But you can use nozzle diffusers, mixer etc. and discharge into high currents.
I think that may even be an EU-wide law - I believe it's the same in the Netherlands, although it was introduced not that long ago.
I thought SMS was built on top of the existing GSM signalling protocols, and so is effectively free to carriers. The bandwidth costs of a few hundred byte message are nothing compared to streaming a video or a phone call. The only reason why carriers charge for SMS is because they can.
The onus for communicating with the merchants will be put on the acquiring bank.
It's only tedious if the build is not automated, static site generators work pretty well with continuous delivery practices though.

I disagree. Anything a corporation does they do because it directly benefits them, in this case they get more people moving close to their HQ and it's good publicity. In the case of their Linux support it's death by a thousand paper cuts. Pretty simple.
I've used SVN reasonably well without knowing its internal model. I kind of knew a bit about it, I'd never call myself an SVN expert and I still managed to do my job efficiently.

I don't think salt is something that is in particularly short supply.
> I stick by my assertion. In practice, software cannot be proven to be bug free.

You can't "stick by your assertion" then provide something which has almost no relation to your original assertion, that's called "moving the goalposts".

This moving of goalposts is even more asinine when you're moving them exactly where the comment which you originally decried had put them.

Reminder: here is what you originally felt you needed to note was wrong:

> Software can not be proved bug-free by tests (and even that assertion is not completely true, you can prove software through exhaustive testing if it's very very simple).

Still we are talking about ingesting few microscopic particles per day. If they were cyanide it might have been harmful but they are mostly inert undigestible polymer with possibly traces of some additive if they surivived all previous stages of plastics life. Like floating in saltwater for few years or perhaps even already being in digestive systems of some aninals.

I wouldn't bother with microplastics in salt. Not when I'm exposing my blood directly to mixture of hydrocarbons and soot with every breath I take.

> There are usually many possible paths for a payment, so the payment limit isn't the minimum of any possible node along the route, but the set of all possible routes from one node to another.

My main gripe with LN is this: why would I want to route a payment through a bunch of arbitrary nodes (which may or may not process my transaction), rather than just establish a connection with a single node, who I pay to guarantee uptime?

> "Refilling" of Lightning channels does not require new on-chain payments - it can be done directly on the Lightning network by routing payments through paths which require balances moving in one direction or another.

If we assume the products purchased via LN need to be paid for in national currency, then on-chain payment is needed in order to refill a channel, since the merchant (payment receiver) will need to withdraw BTC from LN and convert to a national currency in order to pay a supplier. If BTC is withdrawn from LN, then it needs to be deposited again.

If LN isn't supposed to be used for this, then I agree that on-chain transactions aren't needed, but then LN isn't really a competitor to traditional payment networks (since you can't buy e.g. a cup of coffee with it).

> Putting aside large payments for a moment, you're completely ignoring the potential use-cases for small payments.

I don't think I am. In order for small payments to be of value, it must be possible to receive a lot of them, and LN only supports up to ~20M users per month[1] (while using up the entire capacity of the Bitcoin blockchain).

LN payments have value because they can be redeemed into BTC (on the blockchain). In order for a payment network to be successful, it must be fairly cheap to move value through the economic circle composed of 1) consumer, 2) retailer (merchant), 3) supplier, 4) producer (and then back to the consumer, in the form of wage paid by a producer). The bottleneck of this movement is still the Bitcoin blockchain, and LN doesn't do much to help it, unfortunately.

> Some other hardforks of Bitcoin which promoted themselves for having bigger blocks, have had examples where block validation times have exceeded the average block mining time of 10 minutes.

Such a ridiculous counter argument.

The only fork that had a long propagation time was when BSV produced > 100 MB blocks. Note that I say propagation time and not validation time caused by them not propagating transactions before including them in the block. Which everyone told them was a bad idea as the software wasn't optimized for it yet.

But using it as a counter argument against moderately larger blocks than 1 MB, like 2 or 8 MB, just stupid. Instead we should just accept insanely large fees and wait for LN which may never be a suitable replacement.

> The goals of big blockers are to have just one or a few big data centres hosting bitcoin and everyone else connecting to them.

No. The goal of big blockers is to scale on-chain and to allow people to run full nodes if they want to. Not to have it work on the crappiest hardware you can and kill adoption. It's a realization that most people won't run full nodes as they want to use their phones as wallets.

SPV wallets provide enough security for mobile phones with only having to trust that the POW system works. In reality only exchanges and other businesses have a need to run full nodes.

I could for example easily run a full node with full 32 MB blocks today with my current hardware. I would just have to upgrade my storage occasionally for a minor cost. It would amount to 1.7 TB per year which costs less than $60.

> We already have PayPal for that.

Even if only two data centers hosts full nodes it would still be better than PayPal. Better update your anti big block propaganda to use actual facts.
I think this is common all over Europe.
You also have the "right to regret" so within 14 days of buying stuff online you can cancel and refund it no questions asked by law.

>it's easier to acquire a large amount of stuff than before

I suspect this is the factor. A behaviour that is adaptive in an environment of scarcity becomes maladaptive in an environment of abundance.

When my grandmother was a child, practically the only thing that genuinely counted as "garbage" was ash from the fire. Pretty much everything else had a meaningful value. Scraps of paper could light the fire. Scraps of cloth could make a quilt or a rug. Vegetable peelings went to the pigs and not a morsel of edible food was wasted. Packaging wasn't a word anyone was familiar with, but boxes and tins would be saved for re-use. Furniture was repaired and re-repaired until it was only good for firewood.

A lot of people were essentially raised to be hoarders, either through direct experience or transmission of those values from their parents. That mindset isn't irrational, but it's a poor match for the 21st century. It's all too easy to lose sight of the purpose of those values and hoard for the sake of hoarding.

I think that similar factors explain a significant part of the obesity epidemic. The scarcity-era virtues of clearing your plate and being a generous host become vices in a world of supersized portions and supermarket offers.

The real reason that's the case is because most of the rest of the world is much poorer than the US. Also many the people in those other countries don't have to drive as much or as far as people in the US.

> They really should use the money to instead build more remote offices, where housing is already affordable, develop the technologies/processes to support that distributed culture, invest in making those other cities more livable, and thereby bring economic opportunity to a more diverse set of cities/cultures.

You're absolutely right! That's a very real set of problems and a very desirable set of goals you've correctly and wisely identified.

With that said, is this something that companies are best positioned to address? Do we think Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Facebook will do the best job possible at building out the smaller, more affordable towns to achieve your laudable goal of increased opportunity and geographic diversity? Could it be possible that there might be other structures, already in place, better able to address this problem? Perhaps in ways that are already designed to be democratic and participatory? Do we want corporate behemoths pushing Seattlization on whichever smaller, more affordable location they choose?

Again, you've rightly and wisely identified both very real problems and very real solutions. There just might be some room for nuance around implementation.

I guess they didn't think of the byproduct when designing this. Question is, why didn't they add this on the lifecycle assessment, I'm sure they know from the start that there is a byproduct. How to handle this waste, ergo, toxic waste should've been treated as an important part of the process.
I thought this would be about the psychology of “getting inside” someone’s head. I think it’s a very interesting phenomenon when someone says something to you and you can’t seem to shake it, and it bothers you for days or weeks. I’m very sensitive to it. I believe it’s a very important window into how the mind works. That’s one reason why it’s interesting. The other is that understanding this phenomenon would be very powerful — to never allow anyone to “get under your skin” would make you a much more powerful and productive person.

I have read that the unibomber, before he started bombing, was subjected to an experiment under the mk-ultra program. The experiment was psycological cross-examination. Ted was taken into a room and asked about certain things, things that were probably very important to him — fundamental beliefs that perhaps he didn’t even realize were fundamental to his psychology. Then, with all of that established, he was cross-examined and inconsistencies in those beliefs were brought to his attention or in some way de-stabilized. It was after this that his descent into insanity began which ultimately resulted in the bombings. This concept of “getting inside your head” is much more important than it is given credit for — completely untapped and unexplored as far as I can tell. I really wish I could understand it. But I can’t really find much when I google around for it. Nobody seems to talk or think about this online. Not in the way I do which is viewing it as an exploit in the human mind.
> You might have purchased a particular device, but you generally don't have the rights to the software or firmware that runs it.

True, I don't have a right to see their source code. But decent laws shouldn't prevent me from reverse-engineering the code (DMCA is not a decent law).

Moreover, access to code is orthogonal to control over devices one owns. If I own a device, I should be the one who has ultimate control over it.

Having just gone through the process of using EKS, which requires a VPC, I think the article is quite applicable to anyone doing anything of average complexity. I found myself quite often wondering things like "do I have to run an Internet Gateway in every availability zone?" (no) and "do I attach my NAT Gateway to the public subnet or the private subnet in each AZ?" (public, and then add an entry for the gateway in the private subnet).

Amazon does not clearly document any of this. (I think if you read enough you'll eventually figure it out, but experimentation was the most straightforward procedure here).

As for just using a single EC2 instance and RDS... that is something you can do, but not everyone's workload is so simple that they can run it on one machine. And not everyone can afford do be down simply because one AZ is down. Hence, multi-AZ VPC setups.

Over here in Europe there's good variety in the van market, which is functionally equivalent to the Pickup market in the US.

There may be an unmet demand in the US for some of the smaller vehicles. Most of the big car manufacturers here in Europe offer vans: Ford, Vauxhall/Opel, Mercedes, Renault

Here's some examples if you're interested in looking at some of them -

Smaller car-vans - like the Ford Fiesta, and Vauxhall/Opel Corsa both have (or used to have) van variants.

Small dedicated vans - like the Ford Transit Connect, Vauxhall/Opel Combo and Volkswagen Caddy

Regular vans - like the Ford Transit Custom, the Vauxhall/Opel Vivaro, VW Transporter

The Larger vans like the Mercedes Sprinter and Ford Transit you may be more familiar with.

In the UK where I am - Rural postmen, as an example use case, make heavy use of vans like the Transit Connect and Vauxhall Combo as the fleet vehicle of choice.

Regular Tradesmen (plumbers, builders, plasterers) for example tend to use tall panel vans like the Transit or VW Crafter as their weapon of choice.

My first questions exactly.

Renting out but giving a more discounted rate the poorer the tenant is probably the only sustainable approach to keep them having a home as living costs just keep rising. Of course, the discount should gradually dissolve as the tenants get better paid jobs to avoid someone moving in poor and keeping the same flat after ten years of career development. Getting raises or better paying jobs would pay off but rent would just eat a bigger portion of the monthly costs until they would be on par with market rates.
