Yeah, I read another article about this material a few days ago and I was trying to figure out how exactly to handle actually moving the heat. Easy to do with a liquid, you can pump it fairly easily and piping can be pretty flexible with routing. Maybe some sort of rotating disk design, with rods rotating from cold zone to hot zone and static blowers in each zone?

The only time I hear people making $100k+ talking about also having a side hustle, it's in the context of Silicon Valley "influencers". It doesn't seem to be a thing anywhere else in the US, at least in my experience.

I do often hear people who are lower-middle-class talking about it, but it's not because of workism. It's just because that's the only way to provide themselves any kind of safety net.
The linked paper contains a quote and a reference to Microsoft Singularity that really is an interesting thought experiment. Imagine we were all running next-gen systems designed like Singularity by now, which relies on type safety and managed code instead of memory protection to provide application level security. Spectre would have been a lot more devastating then, if we couldn't have hardware-assisted virtual memory protection separating processes from each other?

Negligence, recklessness, knowledge, or purposefulness are probably the only way actions can be wrongful. To have acted negligently, you at least ought to have known that it carried an unacceptable risk. So you need a story on how it was at least negligent and why they ought to have known the risk before releasing the product.[0]

Mere causation can’t get you there. E.g. when a car hits a pedestrian, the driver and pedestrian equally “caused” the accident. It is only by way of characterizing their behaviors in one of the ways above that we can identify wrongdoing. Perhaps the driver wasn’t paying attention (negligent or reckless) and ran a red light. Or perhaps the pedestrian was intentionally throwing themselves in front of traffic. Etc.

[0] Products liability law on its surface does eschew the moral-wrongdoing requirement in favor of strict liability for some kinds of product defects. But that has to do with economic incentives, practical ability to prove claims, etc.

I'm not sure what you're getting at then. Indexing into an array? Are you making a more general point than arrays? I'm not following at all, I'm afraid.
And even if I knew what I was supporting...I guess the plan is to raise $27/current user (which seems completely unrealistic) which will allow them to limp along until they definitely raise $150,000 from the "Internet as a whole", which will allow them to limp along until they definitely get approved for a whole bunch of grants?

Nothing about that inspires any confidence and left me pretty convinced that I would be flushing money down the drain on a project that'll be dead in 3 weeks.

I can definitely see they are passionate about it, but the messaging needs a ton of work.

Petrochemical reporter here.

The article fails to describe whether this plastic behaves like polyethylene, which can be pliable and flexible, or polypropylene, which is rigid and brittle.

Or any of the other dozens of varieties of plastics, each with their own specific use in this modern world of ours.

Every time I overhear someone at a party or gathering giving their half-baked description of a story like this I have to roll my eyes. There's no "cure-all" sustainable green plastic that can replace the variety we make from natural gas. There just isn't. And even if we were to switch to bioplastics derived from plants, it would still be too energy-intestive to be cost-effective.
Is this some kind of joke? As soon as your workday ends everything becomes leisure. If you think that humans shouldn't do anything without economic value then why don't you just work a 120 hour week? Watching Netflix is just as much of a leisure activity as creating art, restorating vintage machines or making free software.
"""The next big question is whether manufacturers will use it and recycling plants will accept it. Because the new plastic’s byproducts are more valuable—and because recycling plants likely wouldn’t need a total overhaul to process it, this sustainable plastic could one day shift the global economics of plastic recycling."""

One question is what is the price to create this new plastic, sure the output "recyclable" is more valuable because it's more broken down - so the process of decomposition towards usable components is improved.

I'm sure this is by design. By default, the government does want you to always be in violation of some law or the other, for then you're easier to control: if they don't like you for some reason, they can pull you in.
Everything has resonances:

"The most restrictive limits on whole-body exposure are in the frequency range of 30-300 MHz where the human body absorbs RF energy most efficiently when the whole body is exposed."

https://www.fcc.gov/engineering-technology/electromagnetic-c...

As a radio ham I am familiar with the 2 meter band which is at 140-144 MHz; a quarter wave antennas is pretty effective and that would be 0.5 meters which is "human scale".

Bugs are smaller so they are going to resonate at a higher frequency. You'd expect something that is a few millimeters in size to couple to millimeter waves; in that paper they flesh it out in detail.

Not only is it true, the fact that you're parroting the claim that construction isn't trying to address the gender imbalance of its field demonstrates that you don't know what you're talking about. You haven't seen the "fuss" because you aren't educated, and haven't made an effort to educate yourself, on the topic.
Generally speaking these types of efforts are never about getting more men into various fields, because there's the perception - right or wrong - that men are already unfairly handed opportunities and their associated higher wages.

In other words, in the popular view, it's not discrimination if it happens against men. It's justice.

Note that I'm not advocating for or against this view.

The Ergo Platform Project Overview [pdf]
People sometimes talk about waiting for a Spectre "fix" at a hardware or software level, but it seems that the only fix is to lose Speculative execution entirely (and with it, its performance gains). On my Haswell CPU, the performance hit was about 5% in various benchmarks, although newer architectures suffer less. Given that Spectre attacks still appear to be very difficult to perform in practice, I wonder if we will start to see Speculative execution at the hardware level brought back as an option for high performance and closed environment settings.

You can do these things as a mitigation but it doesn't fully solve the problem because untrusted programs can try to get timing info from other sources. For example, incrementing a counter inside an infinite while loop can give you a good estimate of time, measured in cpu clock cycles .

I don't know about Guile's popularity, but I use NixOS as my daily driver distro and in my experience Nix is already very niche in the programming circles I run in.

Well, manufactured consent at least.
"One question is what is the price to create this new plastic"

You actually hit the nail on the head better than I did. Virgin resin is cheaper than recycled plastic. Which means that manufacturers have an incentive to buy fresh plastic pellets over more-costly recycled material (which is usually of inferior quality anyway).

That's why lots of products you see will say "made from X% recycled parts". A bottle that's 100% recycled just sucks compared to a fresh one.

(edited for punctuation)
I don't think Clojure needs to boil the ocean to be successful. We already have a community of many thousands of developers with lots of very smart people in it. At this point there's enough mind share to keep it going indefinitely.

At the same time Clojure benefits from being a hosted language. We don't have to build everything from scratch, instead we leverage two of the biggest ecosystems and reap all the benefits for free.

It's still a very niche language to be sure, but from what I've seen there has been a lot of commercial adoption in the last couple of years. There are new a few consulting companies, such as JUXT and Metosin, that are focusing exclusively on Clojure consulting. A lot of the libraries in the ecosystem are now maintained by these companies as opposed to individuals. There are also efforts like Clojurists Together for funding Clojure projects sustainably. These efforts would not have been possible without growing commercial use with companies willing to donate money.

So more companies using Clojure directly leads to a better ecosystem, and that in turn makes the language more attractive. The state of tooling and libraries is dramatically better today than it was even a couple of years go. I'm excited to see how the ecosystem grows this year.

One of the projects I'm most excited about is https://cljdoc.org/ which aims to provide a one stop shop for polished Clojure library documentation. I just saw a presentation about it at Clojure North, and I was very impressed with where it's at already.
Yes, banging on about memory safety sells Rust short, and drives away exactly the people who would benefit most from improved memory safety.

The language is just overwhelmingly better to code in than C, or Java, or C#, or Go. If the compiler were to be made fast -- and there is nothing like a fast compiler coded in your language to advertise its speed (and the reverse!) -- or anyway JITted, with a REPL, it could replace a great deal of scripting.

The comparison to C++ is much less compelling. Rust fans like to lump C and C++ together, but in modern C++ there are few temptations to memory unsafety. (They might be misled by crufty Mozilla code.) Meanwhile, the greater expressivity of C++ enables more powerful libraries, and each use of a good library eliminates many more than just memory bugs.
I spend so much of my time on media literacy issues, and one thing I'd be careful of: most of these prognostications you cite should really be considered marketing. They are not thoughtful views of cryptocurrency.

If you're a software developer, I'd really dismiss lots of what you read about new technology, whether it be crypto or MongoDB. Here's my media literacy guide for software engineers:

https://github.com/nemild/hack-the-media/blob/master/softwar...

(It's kinda fun to realize that by getting excited about cryptocurrency, I also got excited about the financial incentives behind the media ecosystem)

Also, be careful about throwing the baby (unfounded hype and speculation and charlatanism) with the bathwater (programmable money, open financial systems, digital scarcity).

Forest cam captures the secret lives of animals
As far as I understand it, "green material" doesn't mean it's more efficient in operation, it just means that it would be less harmful at the end of the system's life. When HFCs from air conditioners, heat pumps, refrigerators, etc. are released into the atmosphere (often when the system is disposed of) they have a disproportionately high greenhouse gas effect compared to vehicle emissions and other common sources.

> “There’s people who don’t want change. They like the schools the way they are,” she said. “The same people who don’t like Summit have been the sort of vocal opposition to change throughout the process.”

This is an infuriating sentence. It's dismissive of a huge swath of people, and demonstrates an attitude of unwarranted superiority. It's the same attitude that gets people pissed at education systems in general.

People care about their kids' education, and they aren't against change. They may say "The new way is stupid, I learned fine the old way", but if you dig deeper the reasons they will only hint at become apparent:

* New education methods often teach new working methods. If you haven't spent time and energy getting parents involved in how they work, they can't help their kids learn. Parents don't want to feel stupid when their kid asks them for help with simple arithmetic, and they don't know the methodology the kids are required to use.

* There's a huge amount of lip service in education to "there are also other ways to achieve the answer", but grades are affected negatively if the preferred method isn't used (in "show your work" type problems). Further, teachers are dismissive or condescending to students who work better with a methodology that differs from the 'one true' method.

* There are whole swathes of subtlety and context dependent answers that get reduced to "this one is right the rest are wrong" which leads to a mentality of "there's always the one right answer". Generations of people have been trained that this is true, so any new attempt to get past this can't just be shoehorned in and forced on parents, see my first point.

Finally there are the people who are just cautious. They don't necessarily think the status quo is good, they just don't want to be an experiment[1] - it's 100% reasonable to be concerned that the new experimental method may turn out to be worse that status quo, and result in setting the kids back.

[1] Since we are talking about the lifelong results of education, it takes a couple decades to find out if the changes actually had a real, long-term impact of a method of teaching. Lot's of people argue against this notion, pointing at short-term grades, and test performance, but the people pushing the new methods talk about how they will set the kindergarteners up for "better college results, and better career results". When talking about 5 year olds, we need to wait at least 25 years to see how they are faring in their careers.

It's important to understand that the packaging industry, which we pay vast amounts of money to, floods the earth with never ending flow of single use plastic.

That industry WANTS us to keep thinking about and talking about recycling. Don't be sucked in - recycling is the distraction that they want you to think about.

Recycling is NOT the answer. The answer is to stop making the endless flow of single use plastic.

If you want to fix this problem, start laying the blame at the feet of the "garbage brands" - the companies and brands that buy the single use plastic. We need to start with the big, obvious targets like Coca Cola, and we need to associate their precious logo and trademarked red swirl with ruined beaches and reefs and oceans. That's when change will happen - when those big brands come to be tightly associated with garbage.
Surely it is being disrupted by all the make-a-will websites and stuff -- LegalZoom as you say.

If a standard, simple will is entirely boilerplate with some search-and-replace, then it can be replaced with an app.

You decide whether to pay the lawyer based on your confidence that the boilerplate stuff is right for your case, and will hold up in court. Individuals are likely to take this risk, large companies are not. So the large companies will still get boilerplate search-and-replace, but with the added confidence that they have lowered their risk.

To quote from the article,

> We polled our users and asked them what they would be willing do donate and the average was twenty seven dollars, and of course we have thousands of users

Which is based on the illusion that you get an unbiased sample when you ask users to respond to a poll. You don't - the people most likely to sacrifice a moment of their time are also those more likely to come forward with money, conversely those who didn't fill out the questionnaire probably have a majority of people who won't give any money.
