>How many years do the laborers have left? Is it less than the medium term of raising prices to 80-100/bbl?

I don't think the ageing workforce is a huge problem, if that is what you are asking. The labour pool can smoothly absorb new entrants to replace the retirees.

The problem is that if a rapid expansion of workforce is needed - eg in response to increased demand for rigs if oil prices jump into the $80-100/bbl range - the quality of the labour pool will suffer, the productivity will decline and costs will increase.

Are the prices likely to grow suddenly? In some scenarios (eg effective OPEC action, ME conflicts) - certainly. More interesting is what ought to happen in a "business as usual" scenarios. I see it as a race between the decline in production from major "conventional" fields, the growth in energy demand esp from India, China and the "little tigers", and the transition to renewable energy and the "electric economy". My pick is that the speed of the transition to renewable energy will not be sufficient to compensate for the other two factors, and that we will see an increase in the oil prices to $80-100/bbl by 2020, which will enable new production to be brought on stream profitably.

> Is that 'certain point' a moving goal post?

No. That point is the place where someone has enough to pay for all the basic necessities of life(food, housing, education, healthcare) without constant economic anxiety over debt, poverty or impending poverty. Studies have pointed out that over and above this point is where wealth and happiness diverge. A 2010 study had that point pegged at about $75,000 for an individual.

Other studies have shown very similar results, with a sudden drop off in the correlation between happiness and wealth after basic needs have been met. Several are cited here:

I like good meat but I agree that most people will eventually switch over for the simple reason that the vast majority of meat on the market, isn't that great and matching that with lab grown stuff is already possible and will eventually become vastly cheaper and more scalable. There's the industrially produced, water and hormone injected chicken, beef from calves that were grown in a box in months, and all the other low quality stuff we substitute for not being able to afford the premium stuff. That's why a lot of meat comes in sausage or minced form.

A good steak might be hard to match for a while but replacing a typical Mac Donald's burger with something that is actually nicer shouldn't be that hard.

> It's also important to remember that we're kinda in the infancy of ebikes. Bosch just introduced new motors aimed at lowering the entry-level price point of mid-drive bikes. Yamaha is just entering the market now. GM is just entering the market now. Prices will likely come down a bit as they become more popular and as companies put more investment into them.

Yamaha been in electric bikes, and mopeds for an eternity. When it comes to electric 50cc analogues, Chinese makers steamroll all competition.

Imho, nobody can take on Yamaha in electric 150cc analogue market (Yamaha is the king in 150cc). Yamaha will simply take its existing mopeds and put electric engines into them. A very good 150cc will make you around 10 horsepowers. That's something you can easily achieve with a very light hub motor.

Not exactly what the GP asked, but there’s also Wireguard in the iOS[0] and Mac App Stores[1].

Wireguard from the Mac App Store works successfully with Little Snitch (per-app firewall) and comes with a menubar icon that shows connectivity and allows quick switching. With the commandline-based version of Wireguard (installed from homebrew or wherever), Little Snitch sees all traffic as originating from the wireguard-go process. This is because the App Store version makes use of MacOS’s new network extension API, and Apple has only made that available to apps distributed through the App Store.

I see no reason why Google would treat various huge companies the same as my one person setup even if we all nominally use the same product (and anyway I'm pretty sure Broadcom et al. haven't signed up using the same web interface I would use).
No, to the contrary. It rather drains my ability to paint a picture or to play music. After staring on a screen full of compiler errors for 8 hours, there isn't much left to be joyful or creative.

It's a difference in using a text editor remotely, compared to doing just about anything else remotely. I can log in and build remotely, and execute remotely, use remote git servers, even run GUIs remotely (testing my application through a VNC). But using a text editor remotely, with a few hundred millisecs rtt.. now, that is very different.
So JSX is like pure php templates.
Specifically, just two years after the title text was written, in 1983, there was already Turbo Pascal which was much more useful than the language as defined for the introductory university classes:

http://edn.embarcadero.com/article/20693

It was the fastest compiler and environment of the time, but additionally, even before 1983, the "minimal" form of the language, suitable for teaching, was almost never used in production. What was used in production did have the necessary extensions which allowed having some very good software, with provably less bugs than C, because the basis was good and safer.

See also MacPaint, developed also around 1983 ("finished in October 1983"), in Apple Pascal:

https://www.computerhistory.org/atchm/macpaint-and-quickdraw...

Even Go language took its influences from Pascal, "rediscovering" some aspects that were obviously better (for the humans writing programs) than C.

Chinese managed to achieve parity with 50cc mopeds in mass market mopeds, the plank now has to go to 150cc. Once 150cc is taken, the whole of South East Asia will fall for it.

China for example managed to switch to electric motorcycles long before gasoline motorcycles were banned in big cities. People chose electric moped over gas powered ones for their maintenance free nature, even when switch meant a downgrade.

More importantly, Chinese mopeds with smaller engines were borderline undrivable, and in that category, going electric was an actual upgrade.
You are arguing against the First Amendment and democracy because the delicate feelings of people you deem bigots do not matter.

I feel the same way as OP. I have been a leftist all my life. Not so much now. You are just a prime example why.
You're right. You'd want the government to approach with extreme caution when you have two largely conflicting opinions emerging. You'd want amendments to try and balance need and impact.

Unfortunately, this was rushed through in a matter of days, and in fact the Parliament doors were locked to force an immediate decision, trying to make people throw caution to the wind.

> they'd really only be offering configuration and tech support services...

I think you are severely undervaluing support and the logistics of running a business.

Support is, in fact, their strongest selling point. A new distro diminishes their offering (for me). We all understand that it's not something you toss together. It takes effort and as a buyer, I'd rather see that effort used for support, hardware testing, etc..

Selling hardware (even if it's rebadged), providing support, allowing returns, taking responsibility for key updates, multi-year warranties, etc... this, I think, is what most people are after in a vendor. Along with competitive pricing...

We can all install Linux (or try to) on Windows laptops but many of us don't want to deal with the headaches if we encounter a problem. We just want it to work out of the box so we can get to work soon after opening the box. There's an awful lot of value to this.

I can't help but think about Litebook (https://alpha.store/) and the disaster it turned out to be during the entire process[0]. All of the failures were based on the support side, customer service, shipping, hardware testing, etc.

Their reputation was already developing, in the early stages, but users still wanted to believe in a "bang for the buck" Linux laptop running a time-tested distro (Elementary OS when they first started). The business crashed and burned. It had nothing to do with the distro.

What if we are AIs in a simulation? Unlikely perhaps but not impossible. In this case there is no body only mind and all options are open.

There is also the theories that consciousness is all that exists, e.g. "Donald Hoffman's Multimodal User Interface (MMUI) theory of reality and doctrine of Conscious Realism together posit that the reality humans perceive is like a simulation in which non-physical conscious agents interact in order to generate the dynamics we observe".

This is where fast and reliable caching strategies, and lazy, parallel enumeration come in. I would almost want the .DS_Store to include a summary of a tree's metadata and update what's in view by watching watchable filesystems in order to avoid as much full remote tree walking as possible. Shared remote filesystems without a differential/OT push metadata notification API reduce clients to glorified polling. :(
1. We require SPF, but don't have DKIM/DMARC yet. DKIM as far as I can tell doesn't actually... do... anything, but I need to look closer.

2. Same way anyone does it, I'd assume. Shared IPs, rate limits on sending, banning users who send spam emails. I'll likely need to hone exact approaches more.

3. Not that I know of? The mailserver I'm using might handle that.

4. Yea, fairly generic Spamassassin setup that I'm tuning.

5. I think signatures work through Roundcube, and maybe clientside encryption too.

6. I don't have SLAs yet (it's a beta!). My architecture allows for continuous deployment with no planned downtime, though. Delivery from gmail -> my servers and back seems to take about a minute as far as I know, but I can't answer the delivery time metrics without more data. You should get a bounce email on final delivery failure, which should take a maximum of about 208 minutes.

7. They're stored encrypted and compressed in S3, with an encryption key based off of a derivative of your password. Specifically: The encryption is AES/GCM with a per-message key encrypted by a libsodium crypto box, whose private key can be retrieved with a derivative of the user's password. The bucket also has AES-256 encryption in place.

Good questions! I'm going to work on documentation tomorrow. And yea, I realize that sending emails is going to suck.
Thanks for the clarification, good to know!
According to Zoho's web site they don't have a free option. The cheapest one is one euro/month per user - not expensive, but not free.
Another fun implication if it really were aerial-like, is that our consciousness would have a sort of "maximum bandwidth".

I think this theory is actually pretty convincing.
It would be awful if you were conscious of every single thing your brain did, including all your subconscious thoughts and motor neurons firing.

That is why you are conscious of much more specific things like vision, hearing, touch and so forth. Generally the signals within your brain would be akin to random data, so surely they would be post-processed by your brain into a useful contiguous "conscious-ready" signal.

That post-processed signal would probably be sent from one location, and therefore the aerial analogy works well.
When you go under general anaesthetic, that specific part of the brain would stop transmitting completely and you don't experience a single thing until it wears off and it starts transmitting again.

When you sleep and dream, the signal is just a mess of neatly post-processed signals coming from different parts of your brain, so you are still basically conscious.

I read somewhere that if you stimulate a particular part of someone's brain, it can make them temporarily unconscious, which would make sense with the aerial analogy.

If that's how it works, then maybe our sense of time passing is directly proportional to the amount of data sent. So if your brain transmits a lot of stuff in a short time, that short real-time seems like a long conscious-time, and vice versa.

It's clearly a flawless theory ;)
It's simply saying that "consciousness" is related to the brain, but doesn't explain the subjective feeling of consciousness.

The stuff about the single cell organism's supposed consciousness is just a lame analogy.

This is what you can do if you are a "philosopher" - just sniff some glue and write stuff down.
Yes, I read it after reading the comments on this page, expecting a silly mess. But no, it was well-written, for that kind of piece - it's popular internet journalism, not a professional philosophy journal, people! For what it's worth, the 'matter is made from consciousness' view does seem unlikely in the extreme to me.

I thought it was strange the term '(philosophical) idealism' wasn't used once, as it seems that's what most of the article was describing. Maybe she didn't want to confuse people with the more common meaning of 'idealism' today (to do with ideals, not ideas). Russell was a Hegelian idealist for a few years in the mid-1890s, like a lot of British (and American) philosophers, and published a book on Leibniz in 1900. (It's probably not a great introduction to the subject, but David Stove's Idealism: A Victorian Horror-Story is a very funny long essay by the Australia philosopher, mostly ridiculing the arguments used in support of idealism, in detail. Stove's Gem - winner of his Worst Argument in the World competition[0] - is worth being able to recognize in the wild.)

With a distributed system, there is no such thing as referential integrity. You can only mitigate the issue, and CQRS is good at that.
A VPN won't solve the problem entirely, but it can help (because you share a public IP with many other users of that VPN service).
Of course it's crucial you pick a vpn provider you trust, that won't sell your data etc.

So, with these methods, you can even be tracked/uniquely identified while using a VPN.

As of today we have cloud offerings of for instance azure completely separate from the US companies due to this.

Here in Norway we can get the complete azure offering from a company called Evry using azure stack [1] and there is a data centre like this in Germany too at least that I know of, probably many more.

And sectors like government and banking are required to use them and not the parent companies offerings, especially if it contains PII.

If this goes on I suspect a lot of the revenue US tech companies see today will disappear even if (for now) most run the licensed version of azure stack and the like.

You are vastly overestimating how much that information is worth to Google. Their average revenue per user is a pittance compared to the $5 per user per month you’re paying as a GSuite customer. They’re strongly incentivised to make sure your data isn’t misused in any way. It’s not worth jeopardising hundreds of millions in future revenue to show slightly more relevant ads to a handful of folks.

The strongest endorsement I’ve seen for GSuite is that even direct competitors to Google have no issues using it. They trust Google with their data that much.

This is pretty close to the filter theory or transmission theory of consciousness, described by William James and FWH Myers over a century ago.

In their view, consciousness is far more vast than we are aware of, and our brains filter most of it out in the same way that they filter out all kinds of stimuli they deem unimportant to physical survival. All kinds of physical events can affect the parameters of the filtering: near-death experiences, psychedelic drugs, deep meditation, stroke, hunger...essentially anything that changes the brain modifies which parts and how much of the spectrum of consciousness gets through to an individual’s experience.

Python's slowness has been a very real problem for me. It's a great language to write data-wrangling scripts in, but when there's a little bit more data, it's terribly slow. And then you have to rewrite your script in a faster language, like C++ or Rust. I've observed speedups on the order of 20x this way. Which means that I could've saved myself a lot of time by writing them in another language at the start.
