> integrate DRAM on the wafer. This will be painful as we're used to being able to simply add DIMM's, but the upside is massively higher bandwidth.

One way I imagine this working out is that, instead of just replacing the plastic motherboard with a silicon motherboard, you eventually do away with a single monolithic motherboard entirely. Instead, you have "compute blocks" (comprised of chiplets bonded to a silicon chip, or conventional chips on a conventional circuitboard) that connect with each other via copper or fiber optic point-to-point communication cables, and you can just wire them together arbitrarily to build a complete computer. Like, you might have a couple blocks that house CPUs, one or two that have memory controllers and DRAM, and maybe one with a PCI bus so you can connect peripherals, and you can connect them all in a ring bus. You could house these blocks in a case and call it a server, or connect a lot more blocks and call it a cluster.

The main advantage of such a setup is that you don't have a single component (the motherboard) that determines how much memory, how many processors, or what sort of peripherals you can have.

"Masturbation is the new Meditation" --> find her TED talk or YouTube channel. She has some specific recommendations for men.

Obviously, masturbation is perfectly normal and frankly, to be celebrated. Porn, on the other hand, is much more ethically questionable. Try to dissociate the two, so the one can be celebrated without shame -- emphasizing connection with your own body -- being mindful -- it can strengthen your sex life with your partner and improve your confidence/wellbeing
Parent is correct. You've calculated that a year of energy consumption is equivalent to the kinetic energy of the atmosphere moving at 14m/s.

This says nothing about how energy flows through the system, which is what will determine the impact on wind speeds.

Also they are only allowed to make a certain profit margin: cost plus. One way to grow your profits is for the underlying cost to increase.

"The Affordable Care Act kept profit margins in check by requiring companies to use at least 80 percent of the premiums for medical care. That's good in theory, but it actually contributes to rising health care costs. If the insurance company has accurately built high costs into the premium, it can make more money. Here's how: Let's say administrative expenses eat up about 17 percent of each premium dollar and around 3 percent is profit. Making a 3 percent profit is better if the company spends more."

Even a moon mass black hole would survive. The temperature would be about 2.7 kelvin, same as the CMB is now. So any blackhole created at or after the big bang will have stayed the same or gained mass.

The threshold I could find for surviving since the big bang is around 10^11 kg which is quite a bit smaller than the moon. 10^11 kg is quite a bit compared to human scale, more than the mass of the Three Gorges Dam, but quite small on the astronomical scale (10^11 times smaller than the moon).

So while an earth mass black hole is small (9mm), it will last quite long indeed. The evaporation time is proportional to the mass^3.

Android has this but it works on the app authors side. Each app has its own private storage space where other apps and even the device owner(!!) can't access. There is then a shared /sdcard folder which apps must request permission to use (Access device storage). Tiktok is requesting this sdcard folder access and dropping trackers in it. Android does allow you to deny this permission but the app will probably require it to share images (Even though I'm pretty sure android provides a ui for sending images without storage access)

How I got Rust working in Xcode
I worked for a university.

I worked remotely half of one day without asking permission and was essentially scolded for not sending an arbitrary email request that would have been approved.

During that scolding I stated that if I really couldn't do what I thought was best for my productivity, for the good of the organization, that I would have to have a think about the environment.

My boss couldn't hold back sneering laughter when I said that.

... I had been working part time 1099 for a company for a few weeks and formed a great working relationship with the guy who hired me. The same day as the scolding I asked if there was enough work for me to come on full-time, naturally there was, and I put in my two weeks the next day.

I started out as a remote Clojure engineer and never looked back. The only other interesting part of this story is that I was a PeopleSoft developer at the university for the fun of it, my heart was obviously with more modern technology the entire time.

The solution seems to be diversity in supply. In 2017 Denmark had 45% wind with a total of renewable being 66%. The imports are mainly from Sweden and Germany, (possibly Norway) where renewables (hydro and wind) and nuclear dominate. Denmark has a significant portion of coal in district heating, but the portion is also shrinking.

I think it's even longer than that, unfortunately... of course, it depends how much over capacity you have, but those cold fronts in N Europe can kill wind speed for weeks on end sometimes IIRC. It is a huge problem for us to solve.
>crazy gravitational interactions

Thats putting it very mildly. Its actually quite an interesting thought exercise - As this black hole approached earth its gravity would counteract earth's gravity, meaning everything near where it "touched down" would experience near zero-g as it approached. The opposite side of the earth would experience greatly increased gravitational pull...

Then while the black hole was inside the earth, everything would be experiencing close to 2G, then zero G for a bit for the poor souls on the side of the earth where it exited.

Because of the fantastic amount of momentum it would have, and it would certainly be travelling at well over earth escape velocity I would expect it would travel straight through earth and keep going, not even coming close to stopping inside earth.

The affects on earth would be very... bad.

I'd imagine it would trigger devastating global earthquakes, as well as epic rock slides from the changing gravitational forces. Not to mention the tsunamis from the oceans sloshing around like water in a giant bath, as well as all the rockslides both above and below water. It would be a mess.

Assuming this object would be travelling at 100km/sec, and the gravity would maybe begin to badly affect us when it was 50,000 km out from the surface of the earth (?) then it would take about 16 hours to travel from this distance, impact the earth and then reach this distance out the other side.

I'm not sure how much energy would be released by the matter being consumed by the black hole - It might not be very much, after all its total gravitational pull wouldn't be very high, but would be travelling at probably at least 50+ km/second - certainly more than 11km/sec (earth escape velocity)
The matter in front of the black hole might simply be swallowed up without much fuss, or if there is any "resistance" to this matter falling down past the event horizon I'd imagine it would be like a continuous series of nuclear bombs going off as matter was flash heated to the point of spontaneous nuclear fusion before it passed the event horizon.

The one good point to note in all of this is it would be extraordinarily difficult to disturb this object from its object so it fell into the inner solar system. After all, it has the same mass as earth, and we don't have to be worried about random stuff disturbing earth's orbit.
The author collecting the data is a pretty clear conflict of interest that I guess I’ve never given much thought.

I don't think the need for nuclear is much of a fact. It's more wishful thinking. Norway gets by without it and uses wind and hydro (mostly) for most of their electricity needs. They have no need for nuclear whatsoever and they export energy. Iceland is famous for using geothermal. Scotland exports wind power and generates more power than they need that way. Also, places like Denmark, the Netherlands, and Sweden are relying on lots of wind (on and offshore).

The energy markets in Europe are connected and the fastest growing source of energy is basically wind. Coal is shrinking at this point and the enthusiasm for building new gas plants is likewise melting away rapidly as their cost seems to be on the high side compared to clean energy solutions. It will take decades to get rid of both of course.

Sweden and Finland actually both have nuclear plants. Finland even built a new one recently. But in general, nuclear is on the way out in Europe as there is no political will to commit to building new plants across the continent. Older plants are shutting down one by one. France has a lot of aging nuclear plants and they don't seem to be building new ones and are actively considering shutting a few down (https://www.france24.com/en/20170710-france-hulot-could-clos...). Apparently keeping their existing capacity online would take tens/hundreds of billions and the political appetite for those investments is pretty low.

Many EU countries are on a path to completely clean energy and it does not seem to involve building new nuclear plants.
My mom was in a high school abacus club back then. When she told me a story that she went to a tournament as a part of the school team, my response was "what the heck is an abacus competition!?" Competitive abacus is already quaint enough to most Japanese people, but I imagine it was a bit like today's e-sports. She said it really trains your mental arithmetic skill, and indeed she's been extremely good at adding up 6 or 7-digit numbers in her 70s. She passed away last year.
Can't reply directly to the child.

The earth is quite larger than a black hole with an earth mass. Also the earth has a huge atmosphere to help capture things.

A black hole with the same mass as the earth would be almost impossible to hit in comparison (9mm). No atmosphere to slow things down, very hard to hit, and you have to come within 1.5 * the radius before you can't escape without thrust.

So sure, some dust would be capture, but nothing anywhere close to what the earth captures a day.
That wouldn't work on a double glazed window.
>The game of infinite growth has to stop at some point.

I couldn't agree more, but I don't think that anyone in a position to stop it will ever do so given the dire consequences that are sure to follow. Unfortunately our entire economic and political system is based on kicking the can down the road and hoping that it doesn't fall apart until someone else is in charge.
This is a classic example of bad money expelling good money. The bad currency (dollar) is driving out all other currencies because it is easy to get and use.

As long as the dollar is the only/major currency used around the world, its value will continue to hold against other currencies.
