I found an article from 2010 saying that the CO2 breakeven for solar PV was at around the 3-year mark. That article mentioned 225 W panels, the state of the art today is 400W with presumably the same CO2 load to produce. So that would put the payback at more like 2 years. It would get worse again to account for the energy losses in the desalination, CO2 collection and conversion.
What if I told you I was 35? 45? 55? Does your perspective on “not where I should be” change given my already stated negative net worth? I’m old enough to be worried about being employable in this industry in 10 years. Do you not see how a 20 year time horizon for retirement, starting not from 0, but from -100k, is a source of anxiety?

As for “doctor money”, according to https://www.medscape.com/slideshow/2018-compensation-overvie... I make below the average salary for every physician specialty except public health & preventative medicine, and I’m several years older than the typical newly minted physician.

I also live in an area where you need to make at least $80k or so to qualify for a 1br apartment, according to the “3x rent in gross salary” rule used by a lot of landlords. With my large, fixed expenses (student loans), I’m not convinced moving to a lower CoL area actually improves my bottom line, either.

I’m not poor, and, like I said, I’m getting ahead slowly now, but I’m by no means rolling in it.

But in general I feel like excessive boilerplate is more like a code smell. Reusable code should live in libraries, and frameworks should have sane defaults and configuration be kept to a minimum.
If I had to guess, I’d say that most of these people are aligned in factions, most of which probably have roughly similar interests and so are working fully or partially independently towards roughly the same things, probably with no little amount of internicene jostling for position.

And in the process they’re probably producing technological horrors simply because it’s convenient and effective to do so. No hard feelings.

Conspiracies happen all the time, and I would imagine that few ever come to light.

Of course not. Much of the story has never really been comprehensively told, but just look at this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_Daiichi_nuclear_disa...

The Prime Minister calls the plant manager to ask why a valve hasn't been opened that's critical to avoiding a large radiation release. He's told that because they have no electrical power, it can't be opened electrically, and due to radiation, they haven't sent someone in to turn the valve manually. After a call from the Prime Minister of the country, the valve still wasn't turned for another 7.5 hours. From a resourcefulness standpoint, I question why there wasn't enough electrical power to actuate a valve, and from a human standpoint, why there wasn't enough bravery to send someone to do the essential job, certainly involving a far lower radiation dose than is accepted willingly by astronauts who go to the International Space Station, when the safety of their country is not on the line.

I have been trying to work from home one day per week and wish we could standardize on this. It would reduce traffic 20%. It saves everyone a round trip commute and that is time that can be put to productive use. I also appreciate having a solid day of few meetings.

Four day work week would be fine, but I suspect people would just cram more meetings in and it may become less productive.

Well even more broadly it is how generalizable it is, while still providing ordering guarantees (though not necessarily perfect ones.. see my long sibling post)

Using Windows style ACEs for ACLs is also perfectly scalable and consistent, (and more performant) so long as users don't end up in too many groups and objects only inherit ACLs from objects on the same shard. It's just no where as generalizable as Zanzibar which allows much more complex dependencies.

There's always tradeoffs! But this is the best system I've seen for the general ACL evaluation against non recently updated objects.

You’re right. If Apple can show people you can have security and it can be easy, people will demand that.
But almost always, the final decision on whether to install the update is the owner.

My dad ran his factory this way from day one. I forget exactly when they started, late 80s I think, and they always worked 4 10 hour days, Monday thru Thursday, 3 day weekend. Worked great when they went to 2 shifts as well. 4 hour a day downtime for maintenance to do their magic each day.

Employees loved it, management loved it, the only ones that complained were some of their very large customers, and even they got used to it after a year of not being able to reach anyone on Friday.
Before this article, I've always thought Spotify was an electron app (or something of the sort), so never bothered installing it. I was wondering why you didn't just open a Dev console and inject some JS :).

Regarding the Apple code signing requirement: is it the case then for all hooks of this sort that one is effectively required to be in the Developer program?

So I was curious if LD_PRELOAD is prevented from working, but seems there's a simple work around:

> On macOS there is an additional problem. Newer versions of macOS have a security subsystem called System Integrity Protection. For our purposes the problem is that it prevents injecting code via DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES (the macOS equivalent of LD_PRELOAD) into any binary in /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin and /usr/sbin.

> Luckily, there’s an easy workaround. Just create a new directory, copy all the binaries from /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin and /usr/sbin into that directory, and then add it to the start of your $PATH environment variable. Once the binaries are out of those special directories code injection works just fine, and since they’re only 100MB copying them is quite fast.

UPDATE:

Looking at the comment section on the Electrek [1] version of this story it looks like the people who will be effected by this WERE TOLD when they got the car that this would be happening. So they knew they were getting these features for free for now and it would be taken away unless they paid for them (a free trial). They could have refused the car right there and waited if they wanted to but preferred to get the car early and enjoyed their free trial. It seems the only people complaining about this are people who aren't effected by it.

The article is very poorly written and contains several major errors. "As the electronic charge in the solar cells gets transformed into sunlight"? The original announcement is at [1].

One wonders if this kind of research is relevant. Utility-scale PV does not use the very highest quality silicon panels. They just get a lot of cheap land. Panel efficiency is mostly of interest for space flight and other exotic applications where ordinary silicon panels aren't even used. Unless this makes panels cheaper on a per-joule basis, do we care?

They don't care because they don't see what there is to care about. Features like this show them visually how incredibly invasive most apps are.

Stallman is a cooky old loon.
Incorrect. I've had a Model S for almost 4 years now. In every case when an update comes out I have clicked "install now". If an update isn't desired you simply don't install it. The only thing I'll fault them on is the release notes aren't shown until after you install the update so its hard to know if you want it or not unless you look online. But in short, there IS a way to say no.

It doesn't read as mean to me, it's just the truth. The OP made a claim, "So, no, it most likely doesn't operate at tipping point for the majority of people." and failed to back it up with any evidence. In fact, his premise is that this is "his vision".

>If it doesn't violate the patents then what's the problem?

Theft of trade secrets is a crime.
Repairing an apple device is extraordinarily expensive compared to many of the other brands because apple devices tend to have everything glued and soldered together so if of one part dies you have to replace half of the laptop.

Unless the device is brand new it is almost never a cost effective idea to repair an apple device even if the actual part broken is very cheap.
There is just one setting for location access which blocks it off for all, including OS services.

Please don't spread dishonest misinformation, there's no need for that.
I install other distros of the OS on my phones. Upgrade are not automatic, I need to accept it, and I can always reinstall a previous version if I wanted.
Apple is lobbying and fighting hard to ban these exact repair stores so I'm not sure that's a great argument.
More powerful engines are less reliable. Motorcycle makers get twice the specific power out of their engines compared to cars, but the engines won't last 100k miles or even 50k and they require frequent major maintenance. Car buyers are no longer willing to ever have their car in the shop so most mainstream cars are very detuned. High-strung engines that need maintenance are a niche market.

Sweet, thanks! The part I struggle with in interviews is more on playing the game. If someone asks "how would you build a parking lot?" or "how would you design a CI system for a team of 8 developers?", I struggle to keep it simple. Making something usable is actually way easier when working with someone who has thought about what they want and/or are participating. It's like "I don't want a parking lot, you do, so tell me about why you want one". Basically I want to avoid wasting the "client's" resources until I have more information, but system design interviews are not in initial kick off meetings where you go away and come back with a few ideas that don't suck. They are accepting that someone wants proof you can design a contrived system neither of you truly care about while they out you on the spot.

The part that is missing from nearly all interviews are an opportunity for the company to sell itself to the interviewee. So as the interviewee, I'd like to say that if you make me jump thru some hoops because you feel like I should go through the same hazing process you went thru when interviewing, I am going to think that you are only focused on what I can do for you.

How about this, as an interviewer, say something like... "This design question is gonna suck because I don't know how to ask it better, but if you can just hang in there long enough to help me understand you can think about something non-trivial, that'd be fabulous. We both know you're smart, and I just need to imagine working with you in something complex."
The solution to this is simple, the device could cryptographically verify the parts in it and if it detects a 3rd party part then on boot it shows a message saying "An unofficial touchscreen is installed" then the user knows if the touchscreen is working shit its probably because of that and if you sell the device the buyer knows what they are getting.

You have to learn about KFC or powerade for the first time somehow. I, for example, don't think I've ever drunk powerade or gone in to KFC in living memory. I wouldn't even know that the C stands for Chicken except for their extremely effective global advertising.

The birth rate in the US is something like 8 persons/minute of which presumably at least one 1 would be very happy to eat KFC and drink powerade. They are a good target for advertising, as well as people who are borderline about where they eat today.

There was an xkcd comic that really summed this idea up well. There is population turnover. Just because you know what everyone knows doesn't mean the new entrants to the world do - they have to learn from somewhere. Advertising makes sure it happens. I can vouch that it is working well for me even though I don't eat fried chicken.
> I have plenty of friends in the Bay Area who are thriving at FAANG who studied algorithms and Leetcode intensely.

And I've seen developers come from doing Node green field APIs at Netflix to waist deep in a 15 year old Java application with Spring MVC and some underlying Struts yet to be removed and don't understand why debugger stopped going any deeper and they lost where they start 10 classes ago from shared modules.

Then they don't understand how refactoring a core message for alerting customer across the sight has tight coupling, wanted to something fancy and broke the key business features, try to argue it's better but a business unit just list functionality of it's product. Instead of researching, and coming up a plan with a team to refactor using TTD and Strangle Vine method from the legacy tightly coupled code, to a separate module with better testing and following SOLID principles.

I believe this is incorrect.

Disparate impact is not a violation of the US law (neither federal nor state). If the disparate impact is related to the job, it's legal. (For example, a movie studio that turns away old actors who apply to play young characters will most likely win in court, if sued.)

What is reasonably related to the job, is far from clear; the rules are vague, and the previous rulings are complex and inconsistent.

In addition, I didn't want to make my question specific to the US. And the laws across different countries (even the Western developed countries) are not the same.

I agree. In addition, to me anyway, the settings app is kind of hideous. It follows some weird design principles and UI colors that don't even match the rest of the Win10 UI (even the new parts)!
