Which renewables are you referring to?

What renewables can both give us plastic, pesticides, concrete?

What renewables can deliver cheap, reliable, scalable energy anywhere needed?

The most popular forms of renewables like wind and solar are not even close to being stable, reliable or cheap, furthermore they only deliver electricity which is what? 20% of the total energy needs?

Nuclear is expensive because of the regulations not because of technology and more people die from wind and solar than from nuclear.

Having been involved in investing in this space it's pretty obvious that we aren't even close to having alternatives, as in not even in a couple of decades.

You take away the Chinese investment in renewables and the rest of the world's investment in renewables are falling not rising and even with the Chinese investments it's stalling.

There is such an insane amount of groupthink going on here that I know people aren't going to actually accept it but it's very easy to get a reality check simply by taking $10K and find a company which you trust will succeed after you do due diligence. You will quickly find out that we are kind of at the forefront of energy and alternatives where we are and that means less than 1% of the worlds global energy consumption (not just electricity) is wind and solar.

A far cry from what you will hear german and danish politicians claim.
On one hand, I'm inclined to agree with you; but on the other, we've seen huge growth in disk speeds, density, and affordability. All though, I think we've hit a slow-down in improvement if the garbage that is QLC is any evidence. Seriously, I can't believe that manufacturers are trying to force that down our throat.
I have a "punch every item" list for going out of my work building through the stairs, with the minimal necessary to be sure I can get back through the elevators and I have my belongings locked.

I do point and call a recipe ingredients when I try to cook. I would love to make a point and call routine for packing travel bags, but their 3D nature makes it hard.
Apple used to be the innovator in file metadata. They stopped when Steve came back because proper metadata made it more difficult to share files with Windows and Unix. And we're still stuck with crap metadata to this day.

Have you worked with clients? If you have a good producer/leader yes you can get a lot done. But many times this just happens as A. Client approves design B. You build the Beta of the website and launch it for testing with client C. Client shows wife/boss/friend who says “I think we should change this”

End result: you end up having to redo the website. This tool helps get that Beta up even if just for the client to try it and show his friends/wife/boss
I had bad data apparently. It looks like some businesses (for business use cases) are charged that amount potentially, but it looks like the service ended up mainly being free. My bad.
For sure, it's just a convenient feature if you already have one. If you haven't used it, the flow is:

1) Double press the side button (not the crown)

Optionally you can swipe left/right to change which card you're using, but it's immediately ready to go with the default one.
I suspect there is no such thing as an ungamed "free market." The phrase reminds me of apologists that talk about "communism done right, in theory," in response to condemnation of communism as practiced.

Is the Thunderbolt adaptor you're using the same as my Transcend JetDrive 855? I successfully tested it with an Intel 660P 2 TB into an M.2 to Mac adaptor.
Beer and bread, and the yeasts used to make them, used to be indigenous to the region, and sometimes very localised. Every brewery and bakery had their own local yeast cultures. The rise of factory bakeries and breweries meant nearly all of those died off. IIRC industrial brewing depends on just 3 or 4 strains of yeast. Only the relatively recent resurgence of craft baking and brewing has kept some of the others around.

The local strains that led to so many wonderful tasting breads and beers have been lost.

I'd be as interested in learning how the local strains of yeast have changed over those intervening 4,500 years, as seeing he a good result trying to bake from what he retrieved.

I mean, given the entire verbiage around the sites login wall, it seemed plenty obvious here.
That seems to indicate a 16% increase in life expectancy between the last pre-WW2 data point and the most recent data point. That's pretty huge, especially when you consider that those are averages, meaning that the disparity is made up not so much of old people dying older, but more of young people not dying from illnesses that are now preventable.

As a specific and personal data point, I have chronic kidney disease, which developed rapidly when I was 25. With pre-WW2 medicine (no transplants, no dialysis), I might have lived to 26, maaaaybe, and even then only if I'd been able to control my blood pressure long enough for renal failure to set in instead of a stroke or heart attack.

Thanks to modern medicine, I'm now nearing 40 with a good prognosis; there's no reason to believe it will impact my life expectancy, and the impact on my quality of life is relatively minimal. Compared to dying in my mid-20s, that's a vast world of difference. I will not willingly go back to pre-WW2 medicine, thank you very much.
> Oil, coal and gas not only are cheap, reliable, plentiful

Is it cheap? Is it only cheap because we subsidize the externalities they impose?

Is it plentiful? It is a finite resource, whereas wind, solar are not.

> it gave us a hostile and unfriendly environment that we through the use of ex fossil fuels have made safe.

How safe is our environment if it is destroyed or otherwise rendered uninhabitable by the consumption/burning of the very same fossil fuels?

So if Walmart.com has a million products that are drop-shipped from whoever, those would be/could be still considered "sold by Walmart"? Or are you saying this is equivalent to Amazon, but only started yesterday

Something sounds odd, because I interviewed with a no-name company that handles this sort of thing close to a decade ago, and while I don't remember if they did it for Walmart, they provided similar fulfillment services for several large e-commerce websites.
Oh, our profession moves very quickly and very universally. It's unparalleled on that.

Perhaps this is the first US President in decades, who either out of raw courage, sheer necessity or personal (so far undetected) corruption, called out what has been known for the entire time:

1. That China manipulates its currency to improve its economic competitiveness

2. Restricts access to its domestic markets

3. Uses North Korea in negotiation leverage

4. Uses trade deals to capture foreign territory (e.g. the Sri Lankan port project)

Using an ad hominem (“not well”) to discount the democratically elected, leading political actor of a country, seems to be a uniquely American trait (I grew up in India, where we know our politicians are corrupt, but highly intelligent rational actors).

Ad hominems are not a useful tool to try and understand motivations of political actors. It’s ok to say ‘I don’t know why’ when the reasons for an action seem opaque.
Resource forks are still supported. At least they were with HFS+. They might be gone in APFS. In any case with each release Apple makes it harder to access them.
For the sake of argument, let's say I'm wrong and you're right: ubiquitous surveillance is a genie that can be re-bottled.

You still aren't addressing my main point: How do we know, going forward, that no one is rubbing that lamp? Someone has to guard the lamp, eh?

Unless you're postulating some sort of post-historical world-wide Golden Age (which I am down to discuss!) there are still going to be people smart enough and wicked enough to use tech to spy and connive, etc.
Nope. Tried it. It failed SMS verification.
Your terminology is a little loose there. Generally large ISPs like Verizon will not peer with random small ISPs. Even if you're connected to an IXP you still have to pay for transit if you want to reach the whole Internet.
I thought it was a pretty simple argument though. We won't abandon hydrocarbon sources anytime soon because there aren't any alternatives no matter what gets written in articles from people who want to abolish it.
Most of them had no family in the country seeking asylum. If they had family members there they could apply for visa at any embassy in the world and most likely won't arrive by boat. Truth is they were looking for better conditions.

>> Uhm, those countries that got "some" amount of migrants which wasn't massive (only Jordan has more than 600k refugees)

Germany got about 1.5 million migrants. The question is what is the plan? Most of the EU governments dodged the question and thus the reason people voted far right. In Germany they have tried to integrate them[1] but the truth is that not all of them integrate and of course all this integration comes with a cost. Now keep in mind that not all the countries are run like Germany and even Germany has found itself overwhelmed by the task thus asking for "solidarity" from the other member states. Greece can't manage its own unemployment let alone train, educate and integrate migrants.

I think you confuse refugee camps with concentration camps which are entirely different things. There is no need to dramatise it any further.

>> In other words, there never was an open border...

There was an open border policy but it didn't work[1]. It proved that letting people in freely won't end the migration
issue, it only makes it worse. I would even say this
open border policy is the reason why migration from Africa through mediterranean sea intensified and we see so many drowned now.

>> It is the same fascist policy by EU that getting people killed or rot in prison.

I think it's just not fair to say that. You can see anti-immigration feelings all over the world where you have mass immigration. I don't even mention the leader of the free world(U.S). Even in Turkey, Istanbul which is closer culturally with the migrants they started deporting illegal immigrants with the exception of Syrians(due the EU agreement). Truth is that I don't see why anyone would want to integrate millions of unskilled immigrants from conflict zones. Some of them don't even want to integrate. We have a responsibility to offer food and shelter but not to make them european citizens. There is a different path for that(i.e skills based visa).

It's this new fangled meaning of basic. I have to accept it as given, but I sort of find it aggravating, maybe because I think of basic as a synonym of foundational or elementary. In the context of mathematics, calling something basic, foundational, or elementary needn't mean simplistic, stupid, or something for young children. People can add and subtract without grasping number theory. But again, just me complaining about you people's neologisms, and how basic is that?

Signed HTTP exchanges. It was actually the main complaint about AMP because it caused confusion among users. Technically it makes no difference wether the content is hosted by the author or any AMP CDN.

The question is more a philosophical one. If it’s wrong that the URL doesn’t point to where files are “actually” stored. Or rather that the package delivery and package creator aren’t the same party. In my mind this hasn’t been the case for a long time now anyway.

Immigrants: How They Made It (Jonathan Lewy, Cofounder/President, Grin Scooters)
>What nobody pointed out or acknowledged, was that deaf people can read

I actually did something similarly stupid in college; for an embedded development class, my team needed a final project. I proposed a hat for the blind, with distance sensors and buzzers on the inside to inform distance from the walls and such. We also used black conductive thread on a black hat, so it was impossible to work with except for the girl who threaded it in the first place.

Easily the professor's favorite project, and I guess he still uses it as an example for future projects (and at some point he had some team extending it into some kind backpack?)

Later a friend working at a retail store selling products for the disabled contacted me about the project; apparently his boss was interested.

What no one acknowledged is that blind people are not walking into walls... the cane is far more practical, efficient and effective tool than this thing could ever be.

I had meant it to be a joke.
I think Magician just leaves 10% free at the end by changing the partition size, it does not seem to set a HPA or use DCO. If you started with a secure erase/factory clean SSD, those blocks will be marked as unused and the garbage collection algorithm can play Sokoban with them however it wants.
Perhaps the poorest have an incentive then to quickly burn fossil fuels to become not poor then. Perhaps that is what is China doing and what India should do.

Essence from this site (from my understanding, read the whole article):

WhatsApp is using VoIP iOS features to display end2end encrypted notifications in iOS. This loophole will be closed on iOS13. So either WhatsApp does not display any notifications text on iOS13 with WhatsApp or WhatsApp will remove end2end encryption for the sake of having notifications with text on iOS.

This is really alarming for privacy. Seems Apple does not care about privacy and comfort unless it's software from Apple.

I just hope WhatsApp will stay strong and never give up on end2end encryption.
But surely you are baptised after you are born so it would skew the data in the other direction.
>that hardly make sense

Just a guess: stronger strength to weight, and power to weight ratios, compared to the real thing. The tail rotor in particular appears to be quite a bit more powerful for the weight of the model than would be expected in a full size aircraft. And then also, these kinds of movements with a person inside? Haha! No!
The word Algorithm comes from a mathematician named al-Khwarizmi. Many words that begin with Al (Arabic definite article) are of Arabic origin. Alcohol is another one :)
Official role for checklists in healthcare: save lives!

True role of checklists in healthcare: save management in case of legal action.

Consequence: the checklist becomes longer and longer, and is done more and more frequently. To the point of being quite impractical.

Goal: in case of legal action, take refuge in checklists. At least one of the items is bound to be missing so you can divert responsibility to someone else.

Source: I do checklists. That's my job.

When an entity does not honour their commitments, the money starts going to another entity that appears more trustworthy.

I'm not sure what kind of timelines you have in mind, but the above is clear if you look at the past few hundred of years of European history. Wars, in particular, have been funded by honoured business commitments.
I don't disagree, but aquifer filling is in part a function of precipitation over time. And when an area is getting much more precipitation over time than it used to, it increases the aquifer fill rate.

There is also the "new" opportunity to build reservoirs on the rain sheds. If it had been impractical before it can become practical given even a modest increase in the average yearly rainfall. I good example of that is the LA project[1] to recover rain runoff rather than sluice it out to the ocean.

Is it cheap? Is it only cheap because we subsidize the externalities they impose?

When you factor in the positive externalities I think it's safe to say it's pretty cheap yes.

It's a finite resource but we get better and better at utilizing it and keep finding new areas.

It doesn't have to be infinite it just has to allow us to develop new forms of resources.

"How safe is our environment if it is destroyed or otherwise rendered uninhabitable by the consumption/burning of the very same fossil fuels?"

It's not rendered uninhabitable. In fact, it allows us to live places that used to be uninhabitable.
IX costs vary by region but in NYC you can expect around $700/m for a 10g port as a startup. Transit costs over an IX port are much higher than crossconnecting directly to a provider, but IX ports are convenient and save a lot of bandwidth cost if you’re good at building relationships.

The network engineering world is very different from software. Relationships are everything and the pricing very opaque. Often pricing and lists of “who is in the building” are even behind NDA. If you are an “eyeball network” (more downloads than uploads) your transit costs will be much cheaper if you know how to negotiate, for example.

You aren't just researching, so tell them what you did, what you are doing and what you plan to do instead.

I had to implement SAML quickly on our software once. It's a subject that needs quite a bit of research and ideally not much implementation. So here a timeline of what I would have said if you asked me an update regularly (which is probably quite close to what happened because we needed that for a demo pretty quickly and they asked me quite a bit of update):

T + 5m: I'm still trying to figure out what is SAML.
T + 1h: I found what is SAML, but I am trying to understand how it works technically.
T + 2h: I'm looking for libraries to help me implements it because it's too complex to implements in house and not worth it
T + 4h: I found libraries, but I lost a few hours because it needs to be implemented as a login-module, not a library.
T + 5h: I've found one that has potential but our version of J2EE is too outdated and it may not works. I'll need to experiment with it.

At this point I gave 5 updates, I just did research, but never I said the word research. Each time what I said was justified and it doesn't sound unreasonable.
