Frankly, I do not believe that you are telling the truth. If you can provide a test case demonstrating this, however, it would be international news.

Are you arguing that Germany's approach is somehow "hypocritical"?

It could also be argued that what Germany does demonstrates that a combination of renewables and energy trade can work, and thus that more renewable energy in Europe is feasible. Wind is not gonna stop blowing everywhere at once, and solar makes up less of the mix.

By the way, about a third of Germany's renewable energy is not weather dependent (biomass, hydro, trash, a dozen geothermal plants etc.)

I offer an alternative translation below since I find the BBC's translation overly literal and cherry-picked for a punchy headline, although there are certainly overtones of violence in the original idiom chosen. I've used the wheel to emphasize that the idiom ultimately is a brutal one, but not necessarily a literal one.

For anyone who tries to mess around with separatism in any part of China, the only possible outcome is that they are broken upon the wheel. Any external forces which support the fracturing of China can only be seen by the Chinese people as delusional.
I have no regrets making as much money as I did via Bitcoin. It was one of those once in a lifetime events you truly only have one chance to participate in. I remember various betting dApps that practically doubled your ethereum, and thinking there is no way this is what Satoshi had in mind.
I'd be interested in a non-gamified CLI-builder GUI in this style; it'd be especially cool to surface flags from man pages. Many CLIs follow conventions or are easy to remember for basic use cases, but as soon as one is juggling a dozen flags and multiple pipes (ffmpeg comes to mind), it can be a tedious workflow to do it all from a terminal.

> One of, if not the, most popular modes in Minecraft involves scarcity, rare materials being found near monsters, and requiring you go to what is basically the christian idea of Hell to retrieve them.

So, I've logged thousands of hours of Minecraft and recorded and sold hundreds of hours. Everything in Minecraft is trivially renewable. It's easy to get. The core resource scarcity of minecraft is an hour of so of gating. People's predilections towards activity have way more to do than any scarcity.

There are robotic antagonists, but they're clearly not human. There is PvP, but it's window dressing to the building. And uh, I don't think the Nether is very much like Hell at all.

There is a difference between Overwatch or Dota2 and Minecraft. In Minecraft, you do something else and sometimes fight others. In the others, you fight others and might occasionally do something else.
>my Hacker Brain things this project _should_ have a free plan, because free plans are nice and good and neat.

I agree free stuff is neat. I think the other side of the hacker ethos is "figure it out yourself", so I would never expect someone who hacked something together and shared it for free to then provide support for said thing. That's cool if you want to do it, but seems like asking for burnout unless you really like the support side or perhaps are looking at turning it from a free thing into a business, as you seem to be.
I hear that. :)

I had the opposite problem not too long ago; was away for a relative's wedding and had my phone die during the trip. Even after replacing the phone, getting back into my Google account on the new phone was a chore, because the phone that died was all my trusted devices (2FA key holder and receiver of phone calls for verification at the same time).

>Specifically, "elected by the people" doesn't grant any immunity by and of itself; you would need a huge public protest or other such expression of public will. You may still be ignored by the media, which prevents you from getting anything done

I'd say if you are an institution established by public law, you don't need expression of public will for your normal operation. Or you need it to control you, not to affirm you. You just exercise your legal powers.

But I agree that my comment was abstract, and by the pervasive conflation I mean not only in common perception, but also in practice. What I have in mind as positive example is Tocqueville's "Democracy in America", or perhaps Switzerland as states deeply amalgamated with their populations. Anyway, if someone is strongly pro-government or pro-corporate, it's in their interest to present those as binary options. I think this should be opposed in principle, whenever possible, even if the present state of Western democracies is not that great.

Air France Flight 447 is a perfect example of this. They pulled back on the stick so much the AoA reached 40 degrees. The wings lost lift and the aircraft fell like a rock tail-first despite the engines running at full throttle. "But I've been at maximum nose-up for a while!"

Yes, and it's calculated to do that. Look at North Korea, literally torturing their people. Families and neighbors must turn each other in for infractions. They murder three generations of a family if someone dissents or escapes. The people are literally eating dirt. It's well established that surveillance alters people's behavior.

There is no correct answer to this question-- a whole lot of harm and suffering still all too often goes overlooked. Each individual situation is different.

Is it possible for pets to be good for us, and us for them? It would certainly seem so; most of us have seen fairly clear cut examples of this. But sometimes it's a one-way street, and other times (i.e. a maladapted creature being abandoned) it's even a no-way street.

Far too many 'pet' animals are arguably worse off than if they had never been born. Not spaying or neutering is inexcusable. [Unless you professionally breed, in which case statistically you are more likely than not to be causing a lot of suffering in that process.] Trap, neuter and release programs are essential. Continuous evaluation (and improvement) of quality of life should be part of every animal's existence we choose to force a human habitat upon.

Remember that these are thinking, feeling beings, not as different from us as we like to think. They didn't ask to be born, and most of them don't have a lot of choice in how they live their lives. The more aware of these issues you become, the more questionable a whole lot of pet ownership becomes. If you're gonna do it, please, be one of the good ones.

Rust, as a systems language, doesn’t include a large runtime. It’s about the same size as C or C++‘s. But if you want to do asynchronous IO, you’ll need a runtime to manage all of your tasks. Rust’s approach is to include the interface to make a task (futures and async/await) into the language and standard library, but lets you import whatever runtime you’d like. This means that you can pull in one good for servers, one good for embedded, etc, and not be partitioned off from a chunk of the ecosystem. And folks who don’t need this functionality don’t have to pay for it.

Tokio is the oldest and most established of these runtimes, and is often the basis for web servers in Rust.

So yeah, “the node event loop as a library” is a decent way to think about it.

It seems like a serious materials challenge problem to come up with a molten salt that has the right nuclear characteristics (neutron moderating, etc...) and is not horribly corrosive/flammable/etc...

I mean, you should read Rainbows End (basically predicted this 15 years ago), this was going to happen, it's probably going to happen to the rest of the world at some point.
What is missing here is the Big Picture: trading activity has totally decoupled from value creation, and technology has sped up the process exponentially. These are not investors, they are speculators, and it is creating a form of technical debt that has the inherent capability to take down the productive parts of the system.
> Only if it's involved in preserving some object invariants, or accessing parts of its state that are abstracted away in the public interface. Otherwise, you're breaking encapsulation by putting some logic in the object that doesn't belong there, and making it hard to change the implementation later.

I've been pondering this thread all day, and I think this is the crux of the issue. Ideally, classes would only encapsulate state and you'd use namespaces/modules to encapsulate functionality. But most Java/C# OOP examples use classes to encapsulate both state and functionality, which gets you stuck in the morass that the article discusses.

It seems that a lot of problems regarding email involve a lack of transferability between providers, and I don’t think that having a government-run mail provider would adequately solve that.

Instead, maybe an extension of existing mail protocols to allow for updating address information would be better - for instance, mailing a deactivated address would give a special response announcing the change in address, so that information stored about addresses can be updated without user intervention.

Any thoughts on this?
The webpage has too much JavaScript and doesn't completely load under my slow network, so I'm not sure what are allowed to use in the game.

> Yes! I wish more developers would heed this.

I think a lot of us know this, but customers demand more...I am selling a scheduling app for small businesses, and I wish I can just make the app better instead of building new features, but if you have over 1000 customers chances are you are constantly getting 10-15 new feature requests on a daily basis, it's hard to ignore those, especially when some customers give low ratings to your app with reasons like "missing feature X", even tho the feature was never promised to them.
As an early-2013 MacBook Pro user, I concur. I bought the one-notch-below-top-of-the-line model, and it has been well worth the price.

Since then the hardware has gotten worse, and with MacOS Catalina, the software is worse as well (the removal of 32-bit support affects my workflow; I can't use MacOS Catalina).

The sad thing is, nothing else has really gotten better. I'm leaning toward side-grading to Linux, but there's risk involved in buying a full-spec machine for Linux and perhaps finding it doesn't do everything I need it to do.
You aren't wrong, but how is that any different than the current situation with fossil fuels, chemicals, fertilizer plants, etc.? Historically, they've been put into poor and minority neighborhoods, since those groups couldn't NIMBY it, but I don't think that's going to be acceptable going forward.

It mentions in the article that Nature said:

> Given the discrepancy mentioned by reviewer 1, we have sadly concluded, on balance, that your paper would be better placed in a more specialised journal, particularly given the competition for space

This doesn't necessarily seem bad to me, and doesn't seem like a criticism of the paper. If the paper is too specialized for something general like Nature, then they probably shouldn't publish it.

If I were to write some paper about distributed computing on RISC-V chips and submit it to Nature, they would probably reject it because it's not really on-topic to what they usually publish. It wouldn't be a criticism of how good the paper is.

My plan is to use more machine learning features in Google Cloud.

I'm also have some ideas on some new features to our Anki functionality including a live edit mode where you can literally just bring up the Anki 'create card' dialog box pre-filled with the proper fields directly from what you've highlighted in the PDF.

Another feature which is on the short term is just a 'copy' button to move the highlight directly into the flashcard so you don't have to copy it again.

This is the kind of stuff where I tell people that coding can be a real practical skill (that gives you an unfair advantage these days).

I did something similar (read-only) for Home Depot Truck Rentals. To check if the truck was available at my local store, each time, you had to put in your zip code, and click a couple of times. Once I found that was an API, I rebuilt the call in Postman and kept hitting that endpoint until a truck was available.

That way I could check really fast.

The twist: None of it mattered because their data itself didn't update accurately (I saw one in the parking lot and they had one available and never updated their site). :)

sigh. Benioff again with his convenient philanthropy. Berating the system he was happy to and remains happy to take advantage of. Whilst shaming others, that are in in less to much less good positions to demonstrate largesse, to act.

Honest question, why do people listen to this guy?

OK, he does try to start off strong: "Capitalism, I acknowledge, has been good to me." But it's not quite true, is it. It's not as if he was a disinterested 3rd party, strong in his belief of equality (socialism if we take it to extreme), that had capitalism foisted upon him.
