There's wisdom in their mandate, though.

Lack of thorough, accurate documentation shipping with modern open-source software is a real problem. While a lot of software written in the 1980s-1990s (GNU project, Solaris, etc.) have fantastic man pages and Info documentation, much that has been written since has been poorly documented, if at all.

Good documentation shows that (a) the author has thought clearly through their work and (b) shows respect for the user's time by not making them experiment or have to delve into the source code, third-party blog posts, etc. to figure out how the software works.
Wouldn't you have to really be paying above market rates to "drive" the expansion of renewables? Any thoughts about essentially building/running your own renewable power facilities?
How is that ironic? On Ebay you're buying products from a seller that isn't Ebay. The same product will be listed multiple times by different sellers. On amazon it's exactly the opposite. I go to Amazon to buy from Amazon. The same product is listed with multiple sellers and even products explicitly marked with "shipped by Amazon" are actually just random sellers using Amazon's fulfillment service. It is very hard to differentiate between legitimate sellers and Amazon. Therefore random sellers effectively get to sell under the same reputation as Amazon and can just sell fakes without any repercussion. On Ebay information about the trustworthiness of the seller is immediately shown to you on the product page and therefore sellers who sell fake products will lose their reputation and future sales.
is the european government bond market really having a liquidity issue? corporate and munis were never liquid basically anywhere. bagholders still get payouts from the borrower, so unless they default which hasn't happened yet, people still make a profit. the maturities and monetary policy are such that they can just rollover to a new issuance in the future

so it isn't clear that there is really any near term issue that money injectors can't manage, AT LEAST FROM the things you mentioned. I could think of other things but I'll leave you to come up with the succinct argument

The video calls "the typical garden size in the US" 100 sq ft (or 9 m^2). I find it hard to wrap my head around that number. If I had 9m^2 of green, I would never call that a garden.

Surely this is the average, but not the mean? As lots of apartments won't have gardens at all.
That would open up a pretty good avenue for "recycling" then, and could possibly reduce waste plastic in the environment

I think you're asking a different question from the one being responded to (and the one being responded to is more obvious to me): I will try to help this conversation by restating the questions, both of you should correct me if I've misread this.

Your question is, in the distillation step, the nanotube membrane separates fuel from water, leaving some amount of water; what happens to that water in the process?

The question that was answered was, what happens to waste water? For which the answer is that there is no water "left over", and so the question of what happens to it is ill-defined because it doesn't exist.

So I guess what is happening is that any water left in the aqueous electrolyte can continue to be used in the process indefinitely, and there is no point at which the water becomes waste water? That all the water collected from the air gets broken up into hydrogen (in the fuel) and oxygen (waste product, sent into the atmosphere) and the amount of water in the aqueous electrolyte doesn't grow?
I doubt that human driving will ever be outlawed. Riding horses isn't outlawed after all. What is likely is that automated driving will be required for major highways, just like how horses are banned from them now.
I would argue that the increase in anxiety is due to the growing wealth gap. Compounding that is the fact that those in control are actively working on maintaining that gap and will allow nothing to stand in the way, including the environment. The gap is growing worse and will continue to do so and that relentless pursuit of wealth at the top and the hopelessness of those in the middle is making the environment worse. If I am barely surviving and I feed my kids with wages from a polluting industry, with no other option I will vote for those that allow my wages to continue, and damn the torpedoes, even though deep down I know I am making the world worse (further compounding my anxiety and despair). See the coal industry.

So many of us exist in quiet desperation.

People struggling to survive are focused on their next meal or rent payment and while not destroying the world tomorrow sounds good, they are more concerned with what they have to deal with today.

The environment is a side effect of civilizations profit at all costs mentality. Unfortunately this outlook will continue to do as it has always done, reward the few at the top and punish everyone else.
I really love the direction.

This makes the assumption that the payment, fare, and employment mechanisms are incapable of being changed to provide for greater pay and/or job security for Uber and Lyft employees (drivers, specifically).

Reboots are a reality and they are never going to go away on this architecture.

Effort should be spent on resuming where you were after a reboot.

Some things cannot simply be resumed, I know. However, some things can.

There is an attitude at my workplace which I can only summarize as "I automate anything that helps my customers, and I will not automate anything that helps me."

We're smart people. Why are we simply giving up and throwing in the towel when it comes to reboots?

Too few people have heard of the "screen" command maybe. I was using it 20 years ago to reconnect to terminal sessions. I'm told that tmux does similar things, but I don't know if that's true.
So...why should I use Windows in the first place when I have Linux for free?
I thought the author was far too harsh on Mike and the whole article comes off as extremely self-serving.
I know what you mean, but it’s important to realize that kind of thinking is a sunk-cost fallacy. Based on the GitHub discussions about filesystem performance, it seems like they had really hit a wall and there was no other way to squeeze more performance out without a radical re-architecture.
Nope, that needs to be solved in SMTP. Unfortunately, JMAP only replaces IMAP/POP.

I have personally been working on a new protocol that replaces both IMAP and SMTP. It's not ready yet, but the solution turns out to be quite elegant and I have great hope that it will work in the future.
The argument is exactly the same though.

The argument being made is "infringing on peoples bodily integrity is ok if a measurable amount of lives are saved by the infringement".

I simply extended that argument to other things where we can measurably evaluate how many more people would be alive if we infringe on peoples rights.

Abortion is a perfect example because not only can we establish a clear upper bound on the number of lives lost due to it, but we can also save those lives through an infringement on bodily integrity in particular.

In short, if we can infringe bodily integrity to save less than 1 life a year, by mandating mandatory measles vaccines, then it stands to reason that all other similarly permanent offenses to bodily integrity are also permitted if they save 1 or more lives per year.
>Honestly, I suspect that 99% of drivers don't actually enjoy driving and will adopt self-driving cars as soon as they are inexpensively available

I guess I am the 1%, then. Driving is one of the few activities where I can really clear my head. I support the goals of the Human Driving Association. I also disagree that it is too early, as many people already see it as inevitable that self-driving will be illegal.

Bond market liquidity isn't the same as defaults. It just means that the ECB is having trouble finding buyers for their bond paper as their QE program ends. This points towards a gap down in bond prices and a gap up in interest rates. Defaults will come after.

I don't know about you. I've driven the last 5 months / 5,000 miles without using a Supercharger once, except for the first day I took delivery just to try it out.

It's there when I need it for the long road trip. But daily life is effectively refueling-free.

What percentage of round-trips are under 200 miles? NHTS recorded the distance from ~750,000 car trips in 2009 and found the 95th percentile is 30 miles, and the 99th percentile is 70 miles. Somewhere on the order of 1 in 1,000 trips needs a Supercharger stop along the way.

Do you have something that you know that isn't what the majority of miners are thinking? I'm not aware of anything that you haven't heard about before in the Bitcoin world. I don't think some people think that it is more secure than any other alternative. Is there someone who knows more than you do about these currencies?

Quote The question of how we decide should also be debated. If we don't give a single vote on the block size limits, or the BCH and XBC proposals at least, there is no room for compromise. If I am a developer of an alt chain and someone gives me permission, I will work for it. If I am an alt chain developer and this user or group says "no" then I will support them. This allows developers to have different options if all the other devs, and even some developers who think it isn't worth working with the alt chain company, have some different opinions because there's a different way a transaction or code should be built that supports the idea of the alt chain.

Quote Can we stop saying this: "Bitcoin is secure"?

Well that's because in our vision, the future blockchain uses decentralized software, but the current software currently works for all purposes. So it's an experiment. At this point, it would be wise to get a better understanding of what you are trying to achieve. For example, if you want a more secure block chain, then how to achieve
>I would expect that they can just perform hardware tampering when you're not present

On what legal authority?

The border search exemption is about searching, not tampering.

The issue is more that border agents are taking advantage of a law written before the age of computers to use powers the founders probably never intended.

I seriously doubt that there's any legal basis to bug a computer just because it was shipped internationally.

So if the threat model is being asked for your password, not being present when the device crosses is a good mitigation.

(If you've done enough bad things they government is targeting you specifically, YMMV)
>Powershell is obscenely powerful, it is equal to anything Bash can do plus:

Yeah, modern shells should stop pretending that everything is text. That's ridiculous. Powershell is doing a good job here.

As for power, powershell is to weak compared to Python or Ruby, too few libraries and fancy stuff, at least on unices. Maybe it could compete with Racket, but Racket is a much nicer language IMHO.
My issue is that this is a step in the wrong direction, it is incentivizing the current dirty status quo. Why would anyone replace their dirty engine if they can feel good about by using your 'cleaned' fuel.

I agree we need to do something now, but this is just putting off the inevitable. Re-engineering dirty fuel sources doesn't buy us time to resolve this. It is procrastinating, shuffling titanic deckchairs.

The main advantage of this tech I can see is making 'primary' sourced fuel illegal, 'secondary' sourced fuel like this prohibitively expensive, and forcing everyone to go pure electric engine by economy.
Openstack had similar hype (though more on the systems side than the developers), and it seems to finally be fizzling out.

Exactly, you can do a lot of amazing things with less money than certain things sell for. Most people spend that premium because the time required to build X for cheaper isn't worth it in the long run. (unless, like you said, its apart of someones interest or hobby)

Interesting but as there is a 3.1 LTS version due before this comes out and this 5.0 release is not LTS, with any of those features not going LTS until 6.0 in Nov 2021.

So that kinda diminishes my initial excitement, much could change in a short period and we are talking over 2 years until any additional features becomes set in stone with LTS support. So for me, it's probably not looking at until 6 months before LTS release. As is the case with many others.

But some good changes - a rebrand would of cut of any confusion and historical hangovers. As between now and Nov 2021, much could change.
Interesting timing of Derek's Lowe's post on "In the pipeline".[1]

There are government levers (subsidies, tax breaks, carbon use taxes and so on) that can change the economic landscape, but the paper estimates that you’d need electrochemical efficiencies of at least 60% and electricity available at 4 cents/kilowatt-hr or better to make these ideas profitable (with the usual 30-year-amortization assumption about the plants themselves). How close are we? Many of the processes are currently in the 40-50% efficiency range, and need further scale-up work: within sight, but not there yet. And renewable electricity costs vary a great deal by region. The best cases are getting down around that figure, though, and continuing to improve.

The article mentions that while MonoVM's (LLVM-based) AOT efforts are ahead, CoreRT has outpaced MonoVM in JIT performance, so CoreRT will still be the default in everything but iOS and Blazor which are the only two 100% AOT platforms.
Which is precisely why I've run it for over 2 years now. The devs on my team love throwing a git URL into OpenShift and have a project go live in mere minutes, previously a more senior developer would need to setup a CI pipeline and deployment automation and even with experience it was a chore.

It's not like I'm personally afraid of k8s or building docker images myself either, but anything to help my team be more productive without needing to hold hands or do gruntwork on their behalf improves the lives of everyone.

User definable postfix macros might be nice, I don't know.

But we don't need user definable postfix macros to have a single `expression.await!()` as a magical macro. There are already magical macros, and to most Rust users `foo!()` means "magic here, read the docs". It would have been syntactically consistent to have `await!()` also mean "magic here, read the docs".

100% of Rust users will recognize the inconsistency of overloading field access syntax. Only a portion of Rust users will dig deep enough into macros to recognize that `expression.await!()` is special and is not defined as a normal macro. By the time a user digs deep enough to realize that, they are ready to understand why that inconsistency was necessary.

With `expression.await` new users may ask about the inconsistency and the answer will be "because reasons you can't understand right now".

A minor correction, the i5-6500 is a non HT quad core.

In practice, the i5-6500 is faster than the i7-6700HQ. The i5 enjoys a slightly higher turbo clock speed and less restrictions in TDP, cooling and power supply allowing it to run faster for longer so it's expected to be the fastest, but that doesn't explain the entire gap.

Have you tried using WSL instead? I found it to do excellent in CPU based tasks, but the file IO performance was a bit lacking. Apparently in the next release (along with this new terminal) filesystem performance should improve by a significant amount. Although I would still expect it to be slower than running on Windows/NTFS natively
Bizarre comment. Being able to quickly refuel is one of the key advantages internal combustion engines have over electrics.

We are going for the whole gasoline, jet fuel, and diesel market. The 100% efficient energy content of gasoline is approx. 34 kWh/ gallon. At 60% efficiency in converting renewable electricity to chemical energy, that would be approx. 57 kWh/gal.
Well, it is not really the case, there will be still two frameworks, just one isn't going to be developped anymore (full .net 4.8). The way I read that sentence initially was them merging the two into one.
I'm skeptical, but fascinated by what you're doing.

It sounds like all of the steps of your process are known, except:

1. CO2 fixation uses only electricity - no natural gas or other fossil fuels. It works at room temperature.

2. Distillation of the immediate products (alcohols) is not necessary. A carbon nanotube membrane solves the problem at room temperature through reverse osmosis.

Correct?

If so, then why target fuels rather than alcohol production directly? Burning gasoline puts the CO2 right back into the atmosphere, which seems like a half measure.

Why not focus on delivering CO2-negative organic feedstocks instead and possibly tap into the carbon credits market?

Edit: another question. How much flexibility/control does your process give over the kinds of alcohols you produce? For example, can you select for long chain alcohols over short? Saturated vs. unsaturated? Cyclic vs acyclic? Aromatic? Mono- vs oligohydroxylated hydrocarbons. Primary, secondary, tertiary? etc.
On the flip side, you have people now adays that are chomping at the bit to test out Ubuntu 19.04 and Fedora 30 in order to get all the awesome stability and performance improvements from the new version of Gnome. These days, it really seems to me that the only people taking the desktop really seriously are the major Linux distributions. People keep saying desktop linux seems to be waning, but I'll believe it when I see it. Every week it seems like theres a new forbes article or Linus Tech Tips video on desktop linux. Not that this will be the "Year of the Linux Desktop" or anything like that, but it really does feel as if some of the strongest advancements to desktop OS is happening in linux (Minus the hardware support for new monitors/graphics/peripherals)

It is also a slogan I am personally hoping catches on in certain industries like the gaming industry - but with different emphasis. That if you pay for something, you're going to get it. So stop paying for it if you don't want to get it. Gamers pay for tremendous abuse to be done to them, and then walk around wide-eyed and mystified why they're being mistreated. Then they pay for more of it.
