We may have to wait for utility scale storage using Li-ion to become big, to spur investment for alternative utility scale storage which could beat Li-ion cost at scale.

The problem with arguing about capitalism is that it has multiple overlapping definitions.

You have one definition that any system that has private trade is capitalist. One definition that says any system that has any market intervention is not capitalist. One that claims any system that has private ownership of means of production is capitalist. One where you are not capitalist if you claim to be communist (looking at you China). And then the ones which include also "industrial production" in the equation in one form or another. Whatever you mean by "industrial".

I don't know about defenders of current western way of life, but the opponents typically don't declare their definitions of capitalism in beforehand. So it's incredibly unlikely to have any solid argument against them.

As an aside: googling gave various numbers for Li in manganese nodules, but maybe around 100 ppm. There's about a trillion tons (!) of nodules on the ocean floors, so that would be 100 million tons of Li (and billions of tons of cobalt, used in Li-ion electrodes.)

This is probably not worth mining just for the Li, but if nodules are mined for other metals (like cobalt) it might also be economical to extract the lithium.

Just because a system isn't foolproof, doesn't mean it's useless.

It's just like network security - you take every precaution you reasonably can to prevent breaches, but you also plan for when measures fail. Locks on the doors don't mean you can skip drive encryption, managed antivirus doesn't mean you skip monitoring for ransomware activity or exfiltration, RAID doesn't mean you skip backups.

You want not just the belt and suspenders but also properly fitted pants and underwear so no single point of failure leaves your secrets visible to the world.
>A method call is really just a synchronous message.

There is an important distinction. Messages are interpreted, at runtime. Which means you can do certain kinds of metaprogramming without getting outside of the normal tools of the language.

This is not a black-and-white kind of thing, though. A method call can be more or less like a message depending on the language tooling provided.

Yes, bubble sort was an obvious choice given it's easy to understand and implement, I came across this article some time ago which goes through many different ways to sprite sort for general multiplexing and presents 'continous insertion sorting' as the winner, was a fantastic trip down memory lane.

I laughed at this because it's so true... yet I still use ORMs gleefully so I can remain in my pathetic little comfort zone when the queries get especially complex. (Although ironically, my particular ORM of choice tends to fall apart when queries get complex, and you have to do clumsy iterations etc. Also after viewing this presentation I start to wonder how many of the built-in optimizations are being countermanded/ruined by the ORM.)
That doesn’t logically follow - you could hold that opinion if your goal was to have the highest amount of tax come from those with the highest ability to pay. Or also if your goal was to tax most heavily those who use the most public resources (and high earnings is a fair proxy for controlling a lot of resources and by extension using a lot of public goods, like roads and air)

You can even react nitric acid with all sort of oily things such as benzene and toluene and get various explosive. Isn't that common knowledge? I remember being taught that in chemistry back in high school (nothing lights up interest of pupils in chemistry like things that go boom).
I've not taken a thinkpad apart for a long time - but my memory of upgrading them is a great one.
Yes, they have the technical manuals easily available - but they had the information embedded in their molds for the parts.
e.g. If you wanted to 'upgrade the memory' you just removed every screw that had a 'memory logo' next to the screw and then wiggled stuff to see what moved. Eventually you'd see a nice empty memory slot.

I always wonder how these can be enforced anyway, same for employees. Employees carry a huge risk in case the Lyft stock falls flat, they still have to pay all the taxes and company might not withhold enough (dont have any details on that, but it's rather typical) - will be interesting to watch how this goes down.

Committing to (and reviewing afterwards) what you want to accomplish does somewhat work for me. Ultraworking work cycles [1] are based on that by making you write down what you'll work on, how you'll start before each (short) session. When I really need a push to do something I don't enjoy at all, this usually does the trick.

"We" - the scientific community. Coming from the academia, the need is certainly stronger there though.

I graduated ~7 years ago and was also a published author.
at the time. The salaries I was offered for bioinformatics positions were lower than salaries from companies from sectors like ad-tech or security, but not by a lot.

For me , salary is not the most important factor in the decision and I rather work on interesting and important problems than earning 20% more. (although 54k is ridiculous for a published scientist).
Good to know, thanks! I may pick one up and put it on my Ting account to use at work (my iPhone is on Xfinity Mobile for the next couple of months until I move it back to Ting as well).

Please have the politeness to check who you are replying to.

I think you are splitting hairs; of course capitalism doesn't have an opinion, it's not a person with subjective ideas. I doubt that's what KirinDave means anyway.
Geeze man, I’m sorry you had to go through that.
Congrats on shipping. Your pricing, very roughly, looks like about 1/2 that of Heroku.

One question: for the two lower cost plans with weekly backup: if there is a hardware failure and you need to restart all apps on a new server, how much time would this take? I am not asking for an estimate if the data center you use goes down, just asking about an estimate for spinning up apps on a new server.

I ask because I like to host small experiments. If apps are down occasionally for a half hour or an hour that is OK, but a few hours isn’t.

I created the subreddit and brought on moderators I watched over for years, then about 8 months ago I was removed suddenly without any warning or reason. When I reached out to the admins they replied with an automated response. It truly pisses me off because this was a good will project for me and I was an archangel of the sub. It only started to bother me that they did this when the usurper mods started supporting a third party platform in an effort to potentially move people off the sub, which I found to be suspicious and now I can do nothing about it. It really left a terrible taste in my mouth.
The problem is that getting the OP to change their mind on a portion of their submission statement counts as worthy of a delta, even if it makes no material difference to their opinion. For instance, many posters that are not careful with their words might say "most people are bad at ___" but have no supporting data for "most", and so then will simply award a delta and amend their opinion to "too many" or something of that nature.
No, decentralized and p2p. A commenter above has created a project that seems to fit this bill.
I think the stress and anxiety is caused by procrastination and the stress and anxiety causes further procrastination. It's a loop! The trick is to get out of the loop by establishing productive, rewarding habits.
Worked at a ~50 people agency (non-IT, other field...) where every single decision was okay'ed by the CEO, he had full control of all accounts etc. The guy was a true workaholic and would not hand any tasks or important decisions to anyone else.

He started having various medical issues that lead to him being in the hospital 90% of the time, having surgery almost weekly, for ~12 months. He tried to give out directions and make calls from the hospital bed, but obviously that was not working. The business collapsed to 1/4 the size it was, many people got laid off.

Yes, that's true. I think the main thing I actually referred to the manual for was the screen (esp. on the X200 where it was a bit trickier; later models are easier). The other bits are more or less intuitive, aided by the icons as you point out.
You've posted the same thing dozens of times and I've replied to them before. Advertising as a concept is different from online ads as an execution. The latter is bad but there is no replacement for advertising based business models.

Good for you if you pay for the news but you don't represent the billions of people on the internet and what they want, what they can afford, and how they value it is well known. Advertising isn't going anywhere.
I can definitely relate. I think all the administrative things are what annoys me most. Such as sifting through mail, bills, taxes, figuring out procedures to apply for things, etc.

Because it all feels so disconnected to real impact and result. Like all administrative work feels imaginary. Like we created the problem for ourself.

Yet, I don't know how to automate it, or get rid of it.

Oh look, yet another article that acts as if the federal income tax is the only tax that exists. Sigh.

In any case, I believe this sort of thing would be covered by insurance or, in the worst case, the FDIC. Everyone with a bank account helps pay for those.

Agreed about missing the point. I just took the “dime” figure and ran with it.
I'm not so sure I point the finger at consumers entirely. We have been trained by marketing teams to desire the latest and greatest to keep up with those around us.

Just look at the massive price increases for flagships in the smartphone industry, but people are still buying them since they have been convinced that they are still acceptable value. The problem I have with this in particular is that Android smartphones have incredibly poor update support, so there is built in obsolescence to convince users to upgrade every 2 years even though a device from 2014 is still plenty for most people today.

> releasing the source code costs nothing

When you release code, you need to do following.

1. Ensure it builds. Old software can only be built with old compilers, with old Windows SDK. Sometimes they also rely on old custom build tools. Other times builds requires manual steps.

2. Ensure you have not violated any copyrights or patents. The relevant laws are ridiculous these days, potentially, you can get in legal trouble even by copy-pasting stuff from stackoverflow.

3. Ideally, that it comes with documentation/comments, at least minimal.

Neither of these are free, they’re quite time consuming. Speaking from experience, I did release a few things, e.g. https://github.com/Const-me/EsentSerialize/

> That way one can trivially look through it

Looking through is not enough. To be sure, you need to build the software and run the binaries you’ve built. Building third-party code, especially old one, can be very hard: dependencies, build environment, mismatched OS versions, and thousand more papercuts. I sometimes spending a whole day just to build some third-party project that I need to use. BTW I’ve been programming for living for couple decades now.

Even if it builds, security audit of a program longer than a couple pages of code is very non-trivial. If you’ll ask “how do you know they are longer than a couple pages?” the answer is “because GUI”. Despite user friendly, GUI usually require substantial amount of code. That’s probably the main reason why open source community is reluctant to create GUI apps despite users obviously prefer them over CLI.
I'm not a 'car guy' - but love my 2003 Mk1 Ford Focus.
I live in a city, it parks on the street, I don't really even need a car - but I'm emotionally attached to the little-blue-fella.
Why? Well I bought it as after numerous Hertz rentals, I liked driving it.
Why I have it 16 years later is that it 'just works' - for minor stuff like broken wing-mirror, air filter, wipers, bulbs, batteries - parts are easily available on ebay for practically nothing and can all be fitted with a leatherman and a cheap socket-set.
It had a single breakdown where it went into limp mode (new coil pack needed) - and couple of years ago needed £400 of welding (sills close enough to wheels that would fail an MOT). That was a tough decision, as car wasn't even worth that - but I'd have felt like a traitor to have it 'put down. Last 2 years, sailed through check without issue.
Now of course I'd like a new car with built in GPS.. well basically "a screen" - and better safety, lower emissions and all the rest... but bluntly not worth the cost (to me, the environment etc etc).
This will be my first car I bought myself, and I suspect the last one. "There are many like it, but this one is mine"
This doesn’t pass the smell test. I’m pretty sure most Americans spend hours per day watching TV, on social media or playing video games.
6% is still pretty limiting for beer enthusiasts. Shortly after I moved to NC the state lifted its 6% cap to 15% and the explosion of breweries and beer available since then has been insane.
WPF definitely falls in the didn't succeed category. Microsoft grossly mismanaged everything around WPF and C# during the Sinofsky era. It's doing much better on the C# side today but the UI developer community left WPF long ago and will never return.

This is why I wouldn't go to America, the work life balance is non existent.
Anyone else think at least part of this survey feels off? Specifically, the big red flag to me is:

> Researchers also put together a list of the top ten things Americans plan to buy with their tax refunds.

> 1. Motorcycle tires

> 2. Playstation 4

> 3. Trip to casino

> 4. Niagara Falls trip

> 5. A party

Intuitively I find it hard to believe the number one thing Americans want is... motorcycle tires. Or a Playstation 4. Or a casino trip. Or a trip to Niagara Falls. A party, maybe.

I really don't buy the "4 hour 26 minute" narrative either. I know plenty of super busy people and everyone has far more than 4 hours of free time. They're really saying that the average person has barely more than 30 minutes of free time a day, including weekends?

I'm inclined to believe that this article is either inaccurately reporting the actual results or the study was poorly done.
