Adblockers. It is technical hammer that breaks the content-for-ads trade-off.

If there was an extension that you can install with 1-click that lets you order from Amazon.com for free, would people not use it? Does that suddenly mean that Amazon is no longer valid as a business?

These companies will either use technical countermeasures, or switch to different revenue models, or go out of business. But individual producers don't change the fact that most content is paid for by ads, powered by 2 of the biggest companies on the planet.

The Atari 800. Beautiful design, but initially overbuilt and too expensive for the market; I suspect two different home gaming machines from the same company also confused consumers; later, when a lower-cost version was released, Commodore had already started gobbling up market share.
why they would spend so much money on USC, which is not even a top school

It might not be "a top school" by whatever criteria you're using, but it's a very good school. Depending on what major you're interested in, it's very much elite.

The thing that blows me away is no one has really swooped in to replace it. I got a Pebble because I wanted an always-on screen with high battery life (I charge mine roughly once every 5 days), and I have no idea where I'm going to find one when the time comes.
I came across it a while ago, I think it was mentioned by pcwalton or someone if I'm not mistaken, specifically citing writing GUI code as a rationale.

Pretty much the only way to tell the difference between a great and an okay sensor is to process the photos, and then the difference is night and day. I used to complain about my 5D until I tried to process some images from my Xiaomi drone, and then I realized how vast the difference was.

A good sensor will let you pull detail from things you can't even see. The average person doesn't need anything better than a phone (and I've taken many of my best photos with a phone because I didn't have my camera with me), but a good camera will make the photographer's life much, much easier.
> It's hard to use a system in an emergency if you're not used to using it in general.

This is why you will hear the Hospital Net on the the N6NFI repeater every month. Here's the Net Control Operator script:

https://www.scc-ares-races.org/hospital/docs/HospitalNetScri...

If you listen to the net some night, you might hear operators checking in from each hospital saying "No traffic, we sent a packet." Which sounds pretty boring, but confirms two things: the ham radio station at that hospital has successfully completed a voice communication (obviously, because they are talking with Net Control), and they have also successfully sent a message to a designated packet radio address and had it confirmed.

That's about as uninteresting as it gets, until the real emergency happens and everyone is glad you've been practicing this every month.

It's also why, when you see a comment on https://www.reddit.com/r/Baofeng/ saying "I want to get one of these cheap handhelds for emergency communication, I know I'm not allowed to transmit unless it's a real emergency, but I can listen in the meantime and then I will have the radio on hand just in case," there will always be replies like "Get your Technician license! It's not that hard - many people study for half a day or less - and then you can practice transmitting on the ham bands, so you know you will be able to operate the radio."
I think he’s speaking as someone whose family history is directly impacted by a nuclear disaster, the fear of which has greatly affected the politics of nuclear power.

Sure that doesn’t qualify as expert opinion, but that also only gets you so far. In a debate that gets emotional it can’t hurt to have someone stand up and say “yes, bad things can happen. It happened to me and my family, but I still support it because it makes sense overall”

GCP all the way. Best dev experience, efficiency of resources, and capabilities in simplicity of any cloud.

I ran a single node GKE for a while until I graduated to needing something bigger. Now I run a heterogeneous set of node pools with almost no management required. I regularly help others migrate to GCP/GKE.

I also trust the Google developers to produce better, more secure systems than the other clouds. Google has also given a ton back to the dev community and more. Check out Search Inside Yourself or Inside the Plex for good reads.

Part of this came down to the logic of pursuing economies of scale. It costs a lot to build a 750MW plant, but not twice as much to build a 1500MW plant. So the utilities leaned towards bigger plants (for everything, not just nuclear).

But bigger plants take longer, overall. That means you need more capacity in the development pipeline, because you're forecasting that the market is growing. Soon you're needing to have finance and regulatory movement for multiple gigawatts of capacity at all times to keep up with what you think is coming.

If you then find you've overshot demand, you are in an ugly position.

Utilities that did the "dumb" thing and prioritised smaller plants, which are ostensibly more expensive per kwh, tended to do better because they didn't need to tie up so much capital at any given time. Bringing a gigawatt online in five years as a single plant is very different from bringing 200MW a year online. Especially if it turns out in the third year that 600MW was as much as the market wanted to buy.

This is what the guidelines say, and how I've awarded them -

It doesn't mean strictly that you've changed your opinion entirely to agree with them, but that you can appreciate a new perspective.

From https://www.reddit.com/r/changemyview/wiki/index#wiki_what_i...

"Following on from the previous segment, we therefore believe that a change in view simply means a new perspective. Perhaps, in the example of literally looking at something, you've taken a step to the side; or a few steps; or you've moved around and now stand behind it. Maybe you haven't 'moved', but it looks slightly different to you now; in a new light.

A change in view need not be a reversal. It can be tangential, or takes place on a new axis altogether."
Chevy Volt. I wouldn't necessarily say it wasn't successful, but GM is killing it, and to me the irony is that I think it is a much better option for 90% of people than an all-electric vehicle.

Yes, all-electric is the future, but right now being able to be on battery 95% of the time, but never having range anxiety because I can always get gas when needed, is wonderful. I can go on long trips and never worry about having to pre-plan where I will charge up. Also, I didn't have to do any special electrical work because I can get a full 40 mile charge overnight on 12 amps.

I think it's really a great car and due to the electric motor it's fun to drive for someone who doesn't generally like driving.
Definitely, and the Delaware corporation is both the head of the entity and also the place from which it choses to do business with US persons. To do business in the US and with US persons it generally is advantageous to have a presence. If they want to stop participating in the US market for the tax savings they are welcome to divest and restructure to avoid it. They choose not to because the benefits outweigh the costs.
That is untrue. The Vogtle 3 and 4 construction project has received $12 billion in federal loan guarantees over the last ten years. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/03/22/reuters-america-update-1-u-s... The project is a complete clusterfuck and I think the cost overruns is about 300% or so of original estimates. The evidence clearly shows that US politicians love nuclear power. Despite that love they can't get nuclear reactors built. That is telling!

This is generally something that's a good idea in the broad sense, as in with our level of unemployment, lowering birth rates, and generally overly restrictive immigration policies with no practical way of giving employment-based routes to permanent residency for those performing jobs that doesn't require a degree. However, this is ultimately still a half-assed measure that fails to address anything close to the root of the problem and I can't imagine this making enough of a difference in incentive structures to really matter.

"Guest workers" was effectively the de facto system of how ostensibly undocumented immigrant workers operated in America prior to the militarization of the border from the 70s to the 80s that effectively removed the option of having laborers who would work in America but reside in Mexico with their families during the winter, which is a major cause of why this whole "illegal immigrants moving to America crisis" even exists. So under this current regime, part of that idea is restored, because, frankly, the old model was fairly effective.

However, this kills one of the most necessary elements of, well, capitalism, which is that the workers would need some measure of bargaining power in terms of wages. The current scheme takes away that by tying one's ability to reside and work in a country to a particular employer, which turns into a somewhat more charitable version of indentured servitude. Why are these workers paid less than American workers? Because they can't negotiate for higher wages without getting booted. So it's fixing a problem that's self-inflicted except effectively turning it into quasi-indentured-servitude, as the H2 program comes with a long history of reported abuses, which surely only represents a minority of actual abuses.

And you can't adjust status to anything permanent in the end, so it may even be worse than indentured servitude.

Coming from Trump, as well, I wouldn't believe a single thing he says regardless so this could all just be a mirage anyway, but ultimately the reforms needed needs to actually work on a level that liberalizes a lot of the restrictions that have no benefits and are in fact holdovers from far more explicitly racist policies of old (there's still a chapter in the US Code specifically titled "Exclusion of the Chinese" for crissakes). Without that, all these stopgaps are just putting bandaids on gunshot wounds.

Because short sellers increase liquidity, and help the market determine an accurate price for the company.

Also short selling is far more risky than taking the long side. On the long side, your downside is the money you invested (if the price goes to zero). On the short side, your downside is infinite (if the price keeps going up).

> It's worth trying to stamp down on it legally ASAP

What's the point?

People want to regulate agents that could accelerate the rise of resistance in the populations they target, people want to clutch their pearls and call out anivaxxers while ignoring billions of dollars in damages that doctors pushed into the socialists systems have caused by not knowing that kids with specific illnesses will have major reactions to otherwise _fairly safe_ vaccines

People want to be outraged "how can this happen", but they don't care that the demographics of the US are being destroyed by a hot chinese war, pumping fentanyl into xanax patches and pushing them on college kids.

People want to claim to care about these things - and AT THE VERY SAME TIME want to scream BLOODY MURDER if anyone suggests we stop the drugs and unvaccinated illegals from pouring across the border, destroying society by living in shadows. You cannot have 20 million people in a country that are willing to KILL CHILDREN while fleeing from police because they had a broken tail-light.

You cannot have people that are being fed soda by a socialist IV, only to have the very same people doing that enact a law that puts a gun to your head and forces you to take care of them and their kids

You cannot care about antibiotics and antifungal resistance until you care about people that are destroying the ability for this country to operate as a country that can enact change and TEST change.

If you are running an experiment, would you allow people to destroy the controls, call them racist? That's what they're doing in Europe to Poland. Weird that.

If you are running an experiment, would you allow it to be contaminated, allow different people to use different measurements, different conventions and different units to make measurements of different outcomes? that's what's happening to obfuscate the crime problems that are being caused by illegals.

Why are you so pious and forthright about this when you don't give a shit about the decimation of the very foundation of the country.

Why does it matter? Why do you need to recreate their bit? You only have to fake the bit the owner has, and all this is moot anyway because all they do is call the current owner and ask if they're selling the piece. They could literally just give you a number printed in Arial and it would work just as well.

You must not be looking that hard!

The two best examples I can think of are the DMV in Alberta, Canada, and alcohol sales in the same province.

Prior to prioritization, the DMV was run by the govt and it sucked, hard. Two locations in a city of 1M. Took forever to get stuff done and the hours sucked (like the DMV in the US!). Post privatization, it was awesome. About 50 locations in the city, open until 9pm at night so you could go after work, good customer service and no lines! The difference was night and day.

Alcohol sales were similar. Better hours, better prices and more convenient. Specialty stores opened up and actually catered to customers needs versus the old govt run stores.

Your post makes it sound like Fukushima failed in a catastrophically unsafe manner. I think it’s important to be explicit about the casualties that resulted from the disaster.
