As for what it is, it's part of a series I write for reddit where I read as many sources as I can about a plane crash, write it up in a way that's understandable to laymen, and then post it for others to read. Taken away from me and my reputation on Reddit it has zero credibility because it's just a random album on Imgur.

Who is behind the lobbying on Ethanol? The decrease in gas mileage is not worth it, and I'm fairly certain the product is hardly profitable without heavy government subsidies.

So are you saying that we need not build bigger networks with huge data, but rather have better algorithms with significant parallelization? Sounds like we're back to symbolic AI again!
that's it, exactly.
For every MW capacity of wind the states around me put in a MW of nat-gas. The reason obviously being that the wind doesn't blow all the time. As for solar, it only really produces 4 hours a day and a cloudy day can cut production in half or more.

The only serious solution to our energy needs is nuclear. Everything else requires magical thinking.
Yup, being passionate about something helps. When I was still building the cars I raced I would work on them every day, including all weekend. Did that for two years.

Now I'm passionate about projects/work so I can pay people to do that but logic is the same.

I'm happy. Find things that you will make excuses to do.

Yes. The constitutional court of Germany ruled that electronic voting is essentially illegal in Germany due to all the inherent flaws, so all elections are done with pen and paper, ballot boxes, and manual counting.

While the scale required is huge, mammoths are just one of the players here. I am not sure if you have heard of pleistocene park were they have started with horse, karibou, sheep, yak and a few others and already seen some effects. All those animals are seeking plants in some form or the other in the winter and by doing so move the snow cover that is insulating the permafrost, letting the cold seek deeper into it (or rather letting the warmth diffuse out). Mammoths are a key species as they as larger mammals are more prone to trampel down larger vegetation like trees to create the ecosystem all together.
Removing a book for breaking a law is censorship. Removing a book for being lewd or pornographic is censorship. What makes those instances of censorship acceptable, and removing books peddling harmful claims masquerading as science unacceptable?
The doublespeak is staggering. Fb is in the business of destroying people’s privacy, robbing them of their attention, and manipulating political choices for the highest bidder. It walls off people’s relationships and communication and focuses on making its product as addictive as possible.

Even if we don’t mention some of the darkest practices like defrauding children of money, FB is intentionally evil, and they know it.

I just re-watched Cal Newport’s talk on social media and I’m enjoying my second week without fb and Twitter.

1. What prevents the UBI from generating its own large bureaucracy?

2. VAT taxes come in the form of higher prices on everything. No such thing as a free lunch.

4. Healthcare, prisons is handwavey logic. Again, we already provide free healthcare to the poor via Medicaid. So there are no gains to be had there. He makes the wild guess that welfare payments would reduce crime, even though we saw the highest crime rates in the 80s and 90s prior to welfare reform (which reduced the number of people on welfare). So no, I don't buy any of it. There is no experiment of this being tried in the wild, at the city, county, or state level. Why would you take an epic proposal and immediately propose a huge shift of resources in the economy without any evidence to back it up?
What you call lazy, I call an organism that manages its resources efficiently and doesn't take unnecessary risks.
I'd assume corn farmers.

Ethanol somewhat made sense before fracking: US needed a source of fuel that didn't come from overseas. But now the US is a net exporter of oil due to the fracking boom, so we've solved the "US-sourced" fuel problem.
When you GC.start() you are probably forcing a round of garbage collection. I assume it is slow to run GC.start(), but after gives you some runtime advantages, but only for a bit (until you call it again), but then the heap fills up again. You can tune the RUBY_GC_HEAP_GROWTH_FACTOR in GC.stat after initializing and load testing a few times to avoid having to call GC.start() and manually force garbage collections by allocating enough space for the system to run its own processes, while minimizing initializing unutilized memory or having too small of a heap size, which will trigger too many garbage collection runs, both requiring expensively slow kernel system calls.
It’s forked.

At FB you have your first-day orientation and as a part of this Cox came in and gave a speech. I have no idea if it is the same speech to every week's 'class' or an evolving variation on the same themes, but it was a pretty good speech and is probably one reason why people are so eager to drink the kool-aid for the first few years.

Legally, he has a duty to maximize value for his board and investors. And there hasn't been a business model that provides a free consumer web product without monetizing user data.
This sort of thinking fits into the old mindset of how people envisioned facebook. Just a year or two ago the prevailing consensus was "don't post it if you don't wan't it public".

But people have since realized that facebook collects far more than what you give them. It pays for data. It mines data from millions of web sets. It follows you around in ways people don't understand.

maybe "key part where the host sneakily follows you around on a daily basis to better understand your drinking habits" would be more appropriate.
The moral hazard created by an unfunded pension system can be avoided with adequate legislation. By accepting bailout money, the state could be legally obligated to restructure some of its processes.

I understand how the "value argument" influences the initial price of a good, but once it is out in the market demand should be taken into account. If a product's supply is (practically) infinite and its demand is low, then the price should be low. Anything else smacks of poor business decision making or price fixing.

India plans to triple its nuclear capacity by 2024 to wean Asia's third-largest economy off polluting fossil fuels.

That's a really short timeline. India's newest reactor Kudankulam 2 took 14 years from construction start to first criticality:

https://pris.iaea.org/PRIS/CountryStatistics/ReactorDetails....

The only American reactors currently under construction, Vogtle 3 and 4, were originally supposed to be built in less than 5 years but are now projected to take 8 years.

But maybe the American reactors aren't intended to be part of the generation added by 2024. India does have 7 reactors currently under construction.

The corn lobby is very powerful. Nobody else thinks ethanol is a good idea, especially from corn (one of the worst crops you could use). The carbon inputs to make the ethanol are around the same as if you just burned petroleum in the first place. Once you burn the ethanol as well, it's much worse than just gasoline. It also encourages expansion of farm land into virgin land and increases food prices. Not to mention it is horrible for engines, especially in older vehicles.

Hilariously, gas sold for non-highway use (like farms) is not required to contain ethanol, and usually doesn't. They'll push it on all of us, but won't use it themselves.

I think it is easy to get distracted about whether or not Amazon has "the right" to do this.

The argument for private businesses making their own choices is strong, the argument for them being an effective monopoly is strong, I'm sure many other arguments are strong.

What occurs to me, and especially after listening to the second Joe Rogan/Jack Dorsey and co interview, is two dimensions of critically important inquiry:

- What effect do policies and procedures like this have? How are they perceived? What are the unintended consequences? What are the limits and conditions surround the erection and enforcement of these policies? What is likely to be the next set of things removed? What are the forces that guide the decision making of the organization removing content?

- What kind of world do we want to live in? Do these actions move us closer to that world, once all relevant and foreseeable consequences are taken in to account? What ability or mechanism exists to change course if the policy doesn't have the intended effect? Is there a way books can be reinstated?

The reality, as I see it, is the policies surrounding content moderation have tremendous future impact potential for culture and human experience.

We should make sure there is a broad and deep debate, not arbitrary action that takes its validity merely by existing. That's called "might makes right."
In fb's case you look at impact from the end-user's perspective, while in Azure/Spotify case you switch to the provider's perspective.
The problem is that the vast majority of elections aren't counted incorrectly, and you're vastly increasing the cost on an under-funded system for no benefit in five-nines of the cases (and the remaining cases can have a recount triggered by one of the candidates, but not at no cost to them).

There is micro trenched surface inlaid fiber with grouting ALL OVER downtown Vancouver BC. It's been in successful operation for 15+ years.

It is a lot deeper than 2 inches.

Google tried to do the backfilling/slot filling with some sort of rubber compound or something that was not proper pavement grouting.

Google and their contractor fucked up the OSI layer 1.

The way it's done with the "teraspan" (company name) method in Vancouver BC is not economical to service individual residences, or small buildings, it's a set of networks built for several different companies' last mile fiber access networks to service major class A office towers in the downtown core. The diamond blade concrete saw + microduct + cable + slot filling setup is way too costly in dollars per meter of installed fiber to be used for something like Louisville.

It's not a bug.
An RSU is like a pre-order for a share of stock. Your employer gives you an RSU with a specified vesting date as an incentive to continue working for the company until that date. On the vesting date, the RSU magically turns into a share of company stock, which is then yours to keep or sell as you please. If you leave, any remaining un-vested RSUs simply evaporate.

Holding shares in the same company that pays your salary for is not great from a risk-management point of view, so most people sell their shares as soon as they vest. You can reinvest the proceeds in a mutual fund or something.

Golden handcuffs only work if you let them. I make a habit of completely ignoring RSUs and acting as though they have no value. They play no part in my decisions about where to work or how I feel about the compensation package. If the salary is good I take the job, if not I go somewhere else. If the RSUs turn out to be worth something, then yay, it's a bonus! But most of the time they are not as good a deal as company recruiters would like you to think they are - if they actually were worth the cash equivalent a recruiter will quote you, the company would save themselves the trouble of managing the RSU program and just give you the cash instead. The company saves money by offering you RSUs because you will never be able to cash in on all of them - you will always walk away from the company with un-vested RSUs at some point. That's not a terrible thing, just don't let yourself count RSUs as real income until after they actually vest.

Personally I wouldn’t but that’s not indicative of whether the idea has merit or not. We live in a small neighborhood that roughly spans 3 streets where majority of the homeowners know each other. We’ve borrowed tools from various neighbors within our neighborhood over the past couple of years without issue and there were never really any rush to returning them.

Prior to living here, if we ever needed basic tools, we bought them ourselves or borrowed from family (which have a large array of heavy duty tools) so we are not the target demographic for this.
