A couple interesting notes from the article.

"Boise is growing – but it is coming in industries that don’t penetrate beyond the area’s borders. Instead of high-tech computer chips, potato products or even supermarkets – the jobs are coming in healthcare, hospitality, and government. These sectors only serve the population – they don’t export anything."

"It says Boise has a “limited capability to support advanced, technically sophisticated industries” like computer manufacturing (H-P) or semiconductor manufacturing (Micron). That either company exists today in Boise is a result of the path-dependent nature of industrial development, an inertia partially resulting from HP’s investment nearly 50 years ago.”

FUNNY you should mention that, recently a higher-up came to me with a 'bug' that consisted of the feature onboarding process for a new partner wasn't working.

On investigation the configuration app we use to manage multiple client's environments had the code required to do this mysteriously disabled and re-enabling it was throwing errors.

To avoid onboarding delays I was asked to retrieve the initial onboarding sql scripts for originally configuring the test environment.

From an email I sent 6 months ago while an investigation as to why the config app is broken is being kicked off.

They don't contribute to our roads/schools/local services that are actually useful.

As much as everyone is afraid of Google and Amazon, I don't see them getting bigger. They have hit a beaurcratic celling that will cause them to act too slow or too expensive.

The only reason government keeps growing is because they are not affected by profit.

You appear to me making a mistake thinking your particular experience with your medical imaging device is normal. A lot of very dodgy medical devices such as cobalt hips and fallopian tube implants and surgical meshes have been approved with terrible oversight from the FDA causing unbelievable harm to people. The FDA is definitely far too lax (maybe fairer to say captured by industry) in a lot of areas they are supposed to regulate.
There's actually a couple of minor things (like covariance). I was surprised to learn F# doesn't support creating sealed methods on classes the other week when I was extending some OO code.

Thankfully F# and C# mix so well together I could've written a quick C# project to do it if needed, but I didn't want to break up my F# project into two + some C# glue

In the vast majority of cases though what you said is true. Discriminated unions, records, computation expressions, and type providers are total game changers

Not to hijack this thread but does anybody know of a list of companies/start-ups who are trying to combat climate change/protecting the environment especially if they are hiring?

With a brother who has a master's specialising in glacier reduction (and a keen interest in data science) he is finding it a demoralising experience looking for companies who actually seem to be taking action.
I don't think people are qualified to reject this pattern unless they've spent some serious time working in these ecosystems.

Fine - but it isn't a matter of rejecting or accepting; but rather of understanding. And if someone isn't "qualified" to reject a certain architectural pattern... then they probably won't be very good at implementing it either.

So on balance I'd rather be in an environment where people are allowed to "reject" what they don't fully understand yet -- rather than (pretend to) go along with it (on the basis of some article they vaguely read about it, or "because X said so.")
Thank you! I look forward to checking this out. I'd say the picture painted by Confluent is much rosier than reality, but it definitely is the clearest, most actionable picture to date.

There are gateways to onion services and IPFS, so those are "indexed by search engines" without any change necessary. Furthermore, any search engine has to be adapted to the medium used, and there are specialized search engines for pretty much anything including Freenet and I2P etc, so saying that the "dark web" is a subset of the "deep web" is incorrect. There is some overlap, but it's not a "part of" relationship.

The problem is that there is one (academic) definition of "deep web", but many incompatible definitions of "dark web", invented by the media basically for whatever they want it to be.

> I lived in California for a while, everyone is seemingly your friend

I agree it's not ideal in California (arguably similar to Germany wrt random quality, but without the perpetually angry faces though with fake smiles exposing whitened teeth). Still, it used to be a bit happier place and there is a large choice of (sub)cultures one might fit in better, and one can focus on real bleeding edge work whereas in Germany foreigners aren't really trusted with working on cool things/hit glass ceiling quickly.

> Dude, really ... did you work for the Deutsche bahn in 1982 or something similar ?

I was told that by some Dutch guy who couldn't believe it, but that's what he experienced (I think he mentioned Siemens or a similar large co).

> If anything my social life is better both in and out of work in Berlin

Berlin is a huge outlier ("Arm aber sexy"), and probably the only cosmopolitan city in Germany that attracts young/creative people (Frankfurt is not for the young). Miami on the other hand is IMO way above Berlin/LA when it comes to social life (unless you are super rich, but then your tastes are completely different).

Also, regarding "friendships", they were either based on how useful you were, or how much dominated you could be, e.g. I remember playing tennis/squash/badminton with German players and the friendships lasted only while I allowed them to win; the moment I decided "* it" and played as good as I could, the "friendships" disappeared quickly. The thing is they do it even to each other unconsciously, so it's pointless to discuss this with them, as there is no awareness.
The issue is that most forms of interference (shooting it, jamming it) have a tendency to make the drone fall out of the sky. That is rather dangerous.
What you really need is a way to turn heat into some sort of long term energy storage.

What you'd need is something like a thermal->chemical energy converter. You could even make it do something useful, like desalinate water.

However, good luck pulling enough thermal energy from the air or ocean to have any significant effect on global climate.

Boglehead investing is generally the safe and correct pick for the average investor, but large corporations, hedge funds, banks, and so on, all require hedging.

A simple example is a corporation that buys goods in China and sells them in the US. This corporation does not want to lose money due to a poor USD/Yuan exchange rate, so they hedge that risk by buying a financial instrument that guarantees them a certain USD/Yuan exchange rate.

Does the average Joe ever need to hedge currency risk? No. But large institutions do. And this is just a single risk; hedging is not just used for exchange rate risk, but also for credit risk, interest rate risk, asset price risk, liquidity risk, disaster risk, political risk, and so on. Any kind of risk can be priced (see for instance, health insurance and car insurance for consumers, a mechanism by which large corporations price the bulk of consumer risk), and there are many trillions of dollars that belong to groups that especially dislike certain risks, and therefore wish to hedge them.
I agree that a new type rating is not a good thing for Boeing or its customers. But it may be the best and right thing for pilots and passengers, which is what the Governments of the world should care about.

Secondly, landing a taildragger on its wheels does involve a distinct “push the nose forward” on touchdown to keep the plane on the ground. Takes a bit of practice to get used to it. Even more fun is landing on just one wheel in a strong crosswind. Consider that if you don’t push the nose forward the tail will naturally sink (as it is still going down when the main gear hits the ground). This will increase the angle of attack causing the plane to take off again. Hence why we land on the wheels this way. (Or do a three point landing...)

What additional miles? The hypothetical was twice the speed, not twice the distance. If you double the distance and keep the same number of crashes, then of course planes are twice as safe. Why would you suggest otherwise?

I'm not. I prefer the Tor Project to make their decisions independently of Mozilla, which has a worse track record in most areas.

Additionally, tor isn't something that every Internet user should be using. I say this because when they get 10 ReCaptchas in a row, then try to log into their bank and have their credit card automatically frozen, then wonder why google search isn't working, then give up and just use Facebook all day anyway, they will definitely not be appreciating the 'anonymity' that we gave them.
Why do you worry about vendor lock-in with netlify? They host static sites, so you are free to go anywhere. Unless you happen to be using their other services which this doesn't address anyway.

There is heat dissipation to consider as well so you can't just make a die 4x more dense.
Yes.

But not while maintaining anything like current first-world culture. You either need to reduce energy consumption significantly or reduce population significantly.

80%+ of the plastic in the ocean comes from China. It's not fair to lump the US in with China.

"They recognize it and want to do something" doesn't mean shit when you're by far the worst part of the problem. Especially when "wanting to do something about it" and "doing something about it" are ridiculously different things.
> The issue with client-side, in-browser encryption is that you cannot audit or trust the software.

I agree. A few months ago I experimented on ways [1] to automate side-channel verification of JS bundles (and other built assets) while linking them to the sources.

It's based on trusting both the public CI/CD server (to reproducibly build the sources as they are obtained from the repository) and the public repository provider (to serve everyone the same sources), which in a FOSS environment is a given (if services like GitHub and Travis are in the threat model, there's not much to be done). It was a PoC/WIP, but it seems there might be a use case for side-channel verification.

The threat models for this kind of "mistrust" in built assets (assuming traceability and transparency) would be:

- Any kind of MitM (proxy/cache/load balancer) in the path of the assets

- Hosting provider being compromised (unlikely but still a probability)

- Malicious external content being injected at runtime (XSS, CDN)

I'm surely missing more, and I'd love to discuss at lengths about what others may have setup to do side-channel verification (ie: when even TLS and/or the CA chain of trust can't be trusted).

I think their position is: 1) don't shut don't existing nuclear plants to replace them with fossil fuels and 2) wind and solar should make up the new energy mix. But for what it's worth, the membership has diverse views. I'm pro-nuclear.

CCL tends to be more pragmatic and have many more nuclear proponents.
I have a mixed feeling about this new technology war. On one side I think China being a quite poor country has a good chance to improve life of millions of its people if it continues to innovate in AI and Robotics. On the other side, these technologies can be used easily to control all the people, restricting freedom of speech and debate, thus inevitably leading to economical deadlocks and wrong decisions, at least while real people do decide yet.
Citations actually already are a implicit voting system for quality work. ( in theory...)

I'm not sure this is even true in theory. The decision to cite something looks to me to be more about relevance than quality. Citing a paper says, "they investigated a related question," rather than "their investigation was especially rigorous/thorough."

Encouraging journals to publish more "boring" research, and if need be, dedicated journals, can have an actual impact.

Only if tenure committees and funding agencies consider the "boring" research sufficiently important.
Kind of. If the property owner believes that he is preventing/stopping another crime (i.e. burglary/theft/criminal mischief) the homicide would be without criminal consequence to the owner. The criminal mischief (at night only) is a pretty broad category and makes it hard to win a prosecution.

I'll just throw a random comment here:

F#, to me, has the most beautiful syntax. Reading F# code is such an eye pleasing experience!

I actually don't know much about the language, but always dream about being an expert in it and using it every day.

Edit: to give some context, the others I find especially beautiful syntax-wise are Ruby, Lisp, Haskell, Ocaml(very similar to F#). Still I think F# is the best.
Well, it advocated stopping travel by plane in favor of trains... which in terms of practically is almost literally insane. So, there was more wrong with it than just being anti-nuclear (which it was).

What's a shame is that most companies hide behind the claim that if users block IP tracking, since they "can't" get geo without IP, you're opt-in by default. They don't make the best effort attempt to, using the data they have, determine opt-in/out default behavior. The regulators seem OK with that argument. So your point sort of stands (and I wish it didn't)

We do it currently. Holland is a good example of fighting back the sea, but at great expense. And not every country will be able to do this type of engineering.

The temp rises are another thing that we can adapt to. Maybe even some global engineering to thwart it. But again it will be at great cost. And this will probably have the bigger impact on all of us. Our eco-system is very susceptible to small temp changes.

Apart from being fun, there is a good amount of engineering in designing kites.

For example, NASA has been experimenting with designing simple parachutes [1] and it turned out that the parawings (or Rogallo wings) are pretty good traction kites, too. The NPW kites are still popular kites as they are cheap to make and long-wearing in use.

> it's rising by about 3mm/year, up from an average of 1-2mm/year for the previous century

That's a questionable comparison since we don't have reliable data from before 1993.

If the actual sea level rise was 3mm/year recently, we should surely not expect it to rise 25mm/year on average for the next 80 years?
I understand. That said, in retrospect, we seem to be well ahead of "X will happen by Year Y" predictions. I guess my point is, better safe than sorry. Because as it is, we're fast-tracking to worst case.
C# for the most part does a decent job with Functional Programming, but it still leans very heavily towards statements instead of expressions. Even the newly introduced pattern patching (a common FP idiom) ended being a switch statement - perplexing decision because expressions are so central to good FP code. And if you were in imperative land, you didn't really need pattern matching so much in the first place; most developers will be fine writing if conditions.

I hope they fix these warts. It can soon be a good alternative to Go for real native applications.
