Fair enough. You were focused on the short term spikes and I jumped to the larger issue of a reliable grid that had backup power.

The connection in my mind is that if you shift your mix of generation plants towards renewables then you have less ability to respond to outages of any kind. Could be cloudy days, windless days, failed transmission lines, and so on.

The advantage of a coal/gas/hydro/nuclear plants is that you can control the amount of power they are producing. That isn't true with wind/solar. You certainly can't turn them up and I think (but I'm not sure) it is difficult to shed power that they generate (i.e. turn them down).

Those price spikes are last ditch attempts to purchase power to meet demand before moving to brown/blackouts. Just another side-effect of not having an appropriate mix of generation capacity.

1. Everyone should read Dreamland. Even if you think you know the Opioid story, you don't know half of it. And completely aside from that, it's really well written.

2. One thing I took away from Dreamland was that there wasn't one factor to blame. Instead it was 4-6 separate factors that came together in a nightmarish perfect storm vortex to create this crisis.

Which means the pharmaceutical companies have plenty of blame here, but still only 20-30% of the total.
I Built a Finance Tracker Tool in Notion (With Template)
As a product person, I prototype a lot of micro tools to solve my own problems. Some of them are built in code, no-code, spreadsheet or retool template. Some private, some public.

One of my goals this year is to get better at money habits and personal investment. And tracking my personal finance activities become the first step that comes in mind.

Today, I will share how I set up a finance tracking tool in Notion. I will also include my template, so you can duplicate for your own use.

Read here - (https://blog.prototypr.io/how-i-built-a-finance-tracker-tool-in-notion-with-template-3431464cf396?source=friends_link&sk=fb02568ffcd643f7f72c7e9c422f6183)

Simply this: if you write C code, it produces the same instructions compiling with a C or C++ compiler.

But a C compiler restricts you to the C subset. Many of the most useful features of C++ generate no extra instructions, but make the code more maintainable. There are libraries that compile to no code except exactly what you call, optimized down to exactly the circumstances of the call, wholly inexpressible in C, that you would have to open-code directly in C, gaining no benefit from the maturity of a library.

In other words, in the absolute worst case, you write the program using only C features, and get the same program. But there is never a reason to opt for the absolute worst case when you have a better choice.

I was obsessed with topological data analysis which is basically applied algebraic topology, so I read every paper I could find on TDA. All of them were mostly incomprehensible to me at first, but by working backward, e.g. "What's a homology group?" Oh I need to learn some basic group theory first. Oh what's a Cayley graph? I kept working backward and forward until I could piece it all together. Working backward from a specific goal was very motivating compared to just working through a textbook aimlessly.

Its simpler in terms of moving parts sure, but the actual complexity of what is going on is through the roof. A physical door handle may have more moving parts than a touch panel but if you pull apart a door handle you can quite quickly work out how it works and how it could be replicated. Good luck pulling apart a bunch of micro controllers trying to work out the communication protocols and code required to respond to a touch.
> Arthur Anderson and Enron harmed wealthy, powerful people.

Not true. Probably the biggest losers for Enron were the rank-and-file employees of the company. Not only did they lose their jobs, but more than half of the Enron employees' 401k was invested in Enron stock.

And Enron happened to freeze the 401k plan at the time where the stock started to drop and people could have sold.

I pretty much agree with what he said in this post.

Small business is tough and you have to purchase insurance and benefit for yourself, plus store some money to brace for winters. Many of my friends own small business due to their immigrant status, but few of them succeed.

The bottom line is, he actually does not need to explain anything to outsiders if he wants. But his posts are very helpful for newbies in indie so I appreciate what he says. Plus I like his games and purchased each one of them except Queen's Wish.

SDF Cluster Is Now in Maintenance
What I was saying above is that I wouldn't be surprised if a high enough percentage of even the customers who "beat the system" so to speak for many years eventually slip up that it makes up for the rest.

If that's the case, and you can't predict who exactly that subset is going to be, you keep all of them around.
You can't get 'individual parts' for most consumer electronics. They don't require the sort of maintenance a car does, as this user's story about selling an 8 year old laptop and buying a 4 year old laptop with the proceeds illustrates.

It’s unknown if Telsa has spare parts capacity.

What is know is that distributing parts for warranty repairs is a cost to the company.

It seems their plan is to let warranty claims languish until at least the next financial period.
My wife has a 2020 Toyota Corolla. Less than 3 months old and it’s got a bad crack in the windshield.

Toyota says a replacement is 6 months out and there are 800 on backorder in North America right now.

So, it’s not just Tesla. Can happen to any manufacturer.
This is less of an option when hardware makers fuse everything in to a single board so when one thing breaks you need a new main board which costs as much as the whole device.

I have had a surprising amount of luck with some items though. Managed to replace the shoulder buttons on my 3ds by finding a replica of the button + ribbon cable + connector used.

Stuff like this is pure opinion.

Especially if you compare to say, his latest Avernum series, I find this is the case. Personally, I'm kind of sick of pixel art and I find his style generally pretty good, if occasionally a little inconsistent, it doesn't distract from gameplay. Many of the referenced screenshots are against this upcoming title which has gone to a different style, so it'll be interesting to see how that goes.
Outside of a few audio and PAL routines (see asm/non_matchings), everything that was written in C has been decompiled back into C. There are a few routines written in ASM, like the boot code and some of the SDK code.

Most of the other "assembly" files are for data, like the level scripts. It's not assembly of machine code.

You could try to put those into C, but you're not gaining much--assuming that it's even something that can be represented in C without a bunch of fancy compiler specific tricks. You'd be better off creating a DSL or a custom program suite, which is probably what Nintendo was doing 25 years ago.
In central areas of Hong Kong island locals who inherit stores at ground level sometimes never bother opening them at all, instead going to banks and using those properties as bargaining chips to get comfortable loans they’d basically live on and/or invest.

Sometimes your job is just to be a shoulder on whom others can stand. If you have a new idea but can't figure out everything, it doesn't mean you should abandon the idea. New and better languages often have taken things from other failed efforts. It's not all that bad a thing to have created a language that is -500 from that perspective.

Sounds like a brillant plan. Do you feel that knowledge of total lack of serviceability for cars more than a few years old might discourage more that a modicum of potential new buyers. And if so would it make financial sense to hire 50¢ armies to annihilate any attempts to share such information online and discredit its promulgators.

Could it "scoop" matter out of the atmosphere that could be accelerated by solar or nuclear powered ion drive to use as propellant?

Alternatively, thinking about the Earth's magnetic field, what if it had a big current loop that could be activated to generate a force and change orbit.

I realize that the magnitude of these effects are probably too small to be significant, but could you in principle use them to repeatedly change orbit around earth, provided you have an abundant energy source?
I really struggle to listen to Tim Ferriss's podcast.

He has amazing guests, but he'll routinely spend 2-3 full minutes asking a single question. After the fifth or sixth clause in a single (question) sentence, I just want to shake him and yell "shut up and let your guest answer!!!"

The interviewing style feels as if he weren't expecting a conversation, as if he had one and only one shot to fully qualify and give context to every single question before mailing them to a person in a far-away place.

Aside from the interviewing style, the breath-taking amount of ads generally keep me away from his podcast except for a few guests I simply must hear.

There are multiple pieces of evidence of corruption practiced by Lula. That includes documents (found at Lula’s apartment!), witnesses and circumstantial evidence.

Lula declared having payed R$ 47k for his two-story apartment (in income tax forms!), while a neighbor payed over R$ 900k.

Lula’s three-story apartment is the only in the building to include a private elevator, a request he made himself to the construction company (OAS) owner, who is also in jail. The apartment’s kitchen had enhancements made, payed by OAS by Lula’s request.

There were messages found on OAS’ owner’s and employees’ phones that mention the apartment and other property as belonging to Lula and his wife.

Yet despite all this Lula shamelessly claims he wasn’t related at all to the apartment, that it wasn’t his.

The defense claims he isn’t the owner because there are no documents putting his name on it. Now this is laughable because, because the conviction is for concealment of property. By the very nature of the crime, evidence has to be mostly circumstantial.

People are free to believe whatever their ideological preferences make them feel good. However, claiming this conviction, confirmed by multiple instances of Brazilian justice, unanimously, by a dozen judges, happened with “zero proof” is misleading (to say the least).

Having been in this industry, I've seen it go that high and I've seen artists charge a lot less. It does operate more like a free market. I've hired many artists as contractors in the past, whether from the Eastern or Western hemisphere, sometimes the market is in your favor and you run into that perfect artist where the price is just right. Other times you'll pay through the teeth...

I personally think there are very few things we need today more than self driving cars. Driving is one of the most dangerous things we willingly do in our daily lives. There is an insane amount of valuable space in cities devoted to roads and parking, which is all used inefficiently. Valuable time is wasted in commutes and traffic.

Now imagine if every driver on the road followed all rules. Traffic flowed smoothly and there were fewer accidents. Your car dropped you in the middle of the city and drove out of sight till it was needed again. No one ever drove drunk or impaired. You could catch up on work or just watch something during your daily commute.

It does a simple word search, with some sort of sorting based on popularity on the store itself.

What MS should do is do a Google search (or a Bing search in their case) and filter out just the app results. Then find the download link, and get you that.

And that way the store becomes a storefront for not just "store" apps, but also non store apps, and therefore a comprehensive directory.

MS can still provide certain benefits to devs who store-ify their apps, such as updates, easy payments, slightly better placement, etc.

But the store needs to be a comprehensive directory for all apps.

That's a good point. I guess that just comes along with trying to design an entire car yourself. I was thinking more about the normal major repair points for the car, like the powertrain. But I guess all the smaller repairs needed on a car become more frustrating when you need to go through Tesla to fix it.
So I understand what he's saying and it makes sense for him: he's got a style and an audience and there's a lot of risk to try to change up what he's doing.

That being said..

What he's saying works for him. If you don't have an audience yet, and you don't really know what numbers your game is going to pull in, it makes sense to focus on having a more coherent art style. And the thing is, I think you could do the same style games he does with much better art without it costing much more, you just need an art style that isn't, for lack of better way of putting it, pseudo-photographic (I don't want to say "realistic" because it's obviously not going for that, but, there's no specific "style" to what he has other than "smaller versions of real things"). I think if you were to do a much simpler/more cartoony style, with an emphasis on choosing a nice color palette and nice lighting, you could actually make something nice looking without breaking out the bank. (Again not saying that's what he should do, he has something that works, just that I'm doubtful that "make games that look like they're from 1995 shareware" is a viable strategy to follow).
I guess what I don't understand is why we need to force everyone onto sound money. People who receive what they perceive as unsound money can use it to buy whatever would back sound money anyways, can they not?
