Yes.

My strategy is to have multiple, disassociated email addresses for each service, not to keep a single address secret. There are a couple of steps to this.

A) I don't use Gmail. People bring up the + strategy to have multiple emails through Gmail; I don't think that works. I think most spammers will be smart enough to remove the plus, and some sites outright ban it from being part of your address. Treat your Gmail address like you only have one.

B) I do own my own domain(s) and can receive official email there. I use this when I don't care about making my identity known (ie, on a resume, or a publicly facing website, but do want to be able to filter email). The prefix (prefix@domain.com) is the part of my address that matters, and I don't use wildcard prefixes. This means I can generate unique prefixes that I know only some people have access to, which means more public prefixes can get auto-sorted to lower-priority folders (or disabled entirely in the case of a targeted attack) so it's harder for people to spam me.

C) I also make heavy, heavy use of Fastmail's aliases for 3rd-party services. I don't use my own domain(s) to sign up for 3rd-party services, because my domain is a unique identifier that ties all of those accounts together. Fastmail is a shared domain, and lets you generate completely unique addresses, so I can sign up for a Walmart account and give them something like `ilovecats@fastmail.com`. There's no way (I know of) for them to tie that back to another account, so if I start getting spam at that address, I know 100% for sure where it originated from. Every 3rd-party service gets a completely unique email address that can't be associated with my other addresses.

The setup is still evolving, I used to just use Gmail, and I'm still migrating some accounts from Gmail. But I've seen a lot of benefits so far, and I expect to see more benefits as I flesh everything out more.

At the risk of straying into shill territory, I really like Fastmail, a lot. For $5 a month I get really good integration with custom domains, all of the aliases I mentioned above, proper IMAP support, a web interface that is pleasant to use, and my data isn't being mined for advertisers or AI.

Yes, they have the whole Australia problem, but my threat model for email doesn't include the Australian government. I use end-to-end encrypted messaging for that.

This applies to Photovoltaics only, not to wind or concentrated solar, and looks like something that is pretty specific to California's energy mix and policies.

If we replace fossil fuels during the day and turn on hydro and other during the night, I still think the duck curve is not an argument against adding much more PV capacity.
I'm sorry if I don't answer your questions directly but approach them from a tangent.

I don't quite buy into the Patriarchy mythos. For me, this is oversimplifying how societies form and develop their structure and rules.

If you want to equate "Patriarchy" with hierarchy; sure, be my guest. That's what a lot of ardent Feminists tend to do and my guess that is because it made for a convincing story if you were a privileged female member of the upper-classes of late 19th-century England. It was also probably very tempting to be able to point at any member of the opposite sex and say "It's your fault!". (At least these are my guesses why we struggle so hard to overcome the Patriachy mythos.)

I don't think that this approach has much merit to it, however.

To me it looks like a lot of what is considered "Patriarchy" are simply the remnants of cultural agreements that were made in a time when survival and reproduction where the predominant driver of the societal web. You don't send out your woman to battle war, they are the reproductive coin of your society. You send men to war, men are expendable. Our traditional social compact follows this logic.

But it was always a compact between males and females. It was never something that Men coerced Women into. It was an agreement out of necessity. Woman live in seclusion, Men die free. Sure, you are free to call these traditional, born-out-of-the-necessity-for-survival compacts 'patriarchal'. But 'matriarchal' would be just as appropriate.

So, why is pornography banned in Saudi-Arabia? Why is homosexuality considered an abomination? Howly cow, I don't know. I guess it has something to to with the tenants of the Abrahamic religion(s). Other traditional don't have that much beef with sex and sexuality. I don't think that allowing pornography would topple the regime, though it could put some strain onto the dynasty[0].

Looking forward to have a fruitful discourse!

The long half-life [actually the mixture of lengths of half-lives] is really the problem. You've got stuff that's super-hot [fast decay] and so very dangerous mixed with much slower-decaying [so not as dangerous] stuff that needs to be isolated for a super long time. If you run it through a fast reactor/reprocessor, you can use most of the energy and be left with mostly just medium-duration stuff, that will burn out in a reasonable timescale for underground storage, say 1000 years.

We have many dangerous devices extremely close to the population already. Cars kill more people in a year than all nuclear reactors have killed in the whole time of their existence. Should we bury the cars underground instead?

"The latest protests follow grievances over the cost of living, specifically the costs of healthcare, education and public services. Unsatisfied by partial reforms following widespread education protests in 2011, the metro fare rise has proved the spark that has awoken Chile’s formidable student body, according to psychiatrist and writer Marco Antonio de la Parra.

“Over the past decade, the Chilean state has lost touch with these problems,” he said. “The places that have been targeted tonight are deeply symbolic: transport and energy represent the success of the state and the model it upholds.”

On top of social discontent, anger has also been directed at the Carabineros national police force, once one of the country’s most respected institutions but whose reputation has been eroded by corruption scandals and a reputation for brutality, whose heavy-handed repression of protests has also come under the spotlight."

My point is that a lot of people may not even be aware that that's a benefit they get from a cinema. If you're not neurotic enough to notice how much your regular distractions can take away from a film you're going to get a better experience from a theatrical viewing without fully even knowing how and all the gear in the world isn't going to make up for a lack of discipline.

In my case, I've a timed lock I put my phone away with ("just stop doing it" doesn't really work with me, 100% addicted) when I watch a film I actually want to pay attention to at home. No way my attention span could handle something like Bela Tarr at home (I'm a fidgety unfocused person and always have been), but for the most part it done the job.

As far as I know, for SGML (and therefore old fashioned XML, too), 'include' gets realized via parsing of external &entities;. That's how the Mozilla XUL applications (Seamonkey, Firefox, Thunderbird) etc. realized localization, for example.

I don't know, when XInclude has first been ratified (the current, 2nd revision, of the spec is from 2006), but with it, a generic inclusion mechanism exists for XML, therefore also for XHTML.

With XHTML you could (in theory, as said, the spec is there) use XInclude.

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<html xmlns="http:www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude">
<head>
</head>
<body>
<p>120 MHz is adequate for an average home user.</p>
<xi:include href="disclaimer.xml"/>
</body>
</html>

I am not quite sure, yet, how namespace mixins are handled in XHTML, I think, one must define a new schema (which, honestly is a crappy requirement and should be abandoned), effectively creating an XHTML+XInclude document type, but that may be only a real issue for strict validation.

Auto password fillers don't fill on the wrong site; they are actually a great defense against this kind of thing if you get it right the first time and then are very suspicious if it ever doesn't auto fill.

IMO, browsers should have site bookmarks to replace EV certificates, where you can bookmark a site and give it a name and the name appears where the EV company name used to.
A few days ago, in the context of first drone delivery by Google, I asked why don't we build infrastructure (pipes + automatic pods going through them) to deliver grocery-sized packages. Sounds like a literal pipe dream, but I'm not convinced the economics wouldn't work. Deliveries could take a matter of minutes and the network could be expanded at will, starting with a few neighborhood delivery spots. At a price of one or two dollars a package, for a million daily deliveries, it could make sense.

Any thoughts?
We think that leveraging electric vehicles as a storage device will help solve the duck curve problem.

Utilities are reluctant to invest billions of dollars in energy storage to smooth out their demand curve.

But consumers are already making this investment by switching en masse to EVs.

We're building software that will one day help utilities transact with individual or fleet vehicle owners to leverage their vehicles as energy storage.

In terms of data mining: credit card companies seem to be the lesser of infinite evils. At least I can see what data they collect and they pay me for my data. I would still prefer they didn't do anything with my data, but at least I can opt out at any time by paying cash. A lot of companies take my data, I don't know, and I get nothing for it.
Also I think many people think it is very complicated to setup database, I just run it yesterday on OS X the command issues were:

nix-env -iA nixpkgs.postgresql_11
initdb ~/data
pg_ctl -D ~/data start
createdb

First command installs the database, second one populates database files, this one starts the database, last command is optional and it creates a database for your user name.
FDIC insurance only counts towards bank accounts. You aren't going to get any reasonable interest rate in an FDIC insured account.

Keeping your money in bitcoin may be a poor idea, but any reasonable long-term investment strategy isn't going to be FDIC insured, so that isn't really part of the calculation.
This kind of approach can be good for getting data into the database, especially for non-trivial updates, but is not good for getting data out. The problem is if you want things like custom group-bys, sorts, joins, windowing, etc, you end up reinventing a lot of concepts, or copy+pasting procedures with slight variations. It basically takes SQL's biggest issue, query composability, and makes it even worse than it already is.
How much is just marketing & deflation though? Presumably TSMC wouldn't put out nearly $20 billion if there wasn't some practical improvement?

Thanks, took me a while to find the issue.

I had a feature where if the same client (by IP address) starts another job, their previous jobs are deleted. But after I added secure websockets support by proxying through nginx, all IP addresses from the server's point of view became "127.0.0.1" and every job would just be deleted when a new one came in, because they all had the same IP.

And the reason they own some of them instead of the public, is that they are large and rich enough to have laws changed to allow them to continue to own them.
It seems that memory is “trained” on boot — the system does POST and checks that critical hardware is responding as expected. PC motherboards have some settings to adjust timing for enthusiasts, but I’m not sure that that’s a trend or even desirable in consumer electronics. So these expected values are probably “burnt in” to the design and difficult to change.

Maybe Purism has a way to do this?

Agreed on the demo time.

If it takes non-trivial infrastructure (firewalls, AD integration, what have you), it can take 2 or 3 months just to get the demo running. If your demo license only lasts two weeks, no decision maker ever sees a running instance, but sometimes somebody in the chain is too embarrassed to admit it took so long.

Apart from the phone having nothing to do with Elcom, it's also not using anything made by Emcraft, so no one has any say about schematics but Purism.

Hi, this is Hamel. I'm happy to answer any questions about the dataset or the project. I think this dataset is exciting for the following reasons:

- Its really large: Parallel corpus is 2M code snippets, and the unpaired corpus is 6M code snippets
Its real data generated by people in the wild and gives everyone a chance to exercise skills with cleaning a messy dataset.

- Its unique: its [code, comment] pairs; part natural language, part code. This presents unique challenges.
This data has seen very little utilization so far which means lots of opportunities for the community to make tools for code navigation, search, bug detection, automated documentation, and program synthesis (some of the problems being significantly harder than others).

- Other niche datasets from specific domains require a non-trivial amount of domain knowledge before being effective with the dataset. For example, to utilize radiology images it is extremely helpful to learn a little about the domain to help with cleaning and exploring the data and debugging your models. However, many machine learning folks are already familiar with writing code so you have a head start!

- The most painful part of cleaning the data is done for you: parsing the code and separating out the comments from the code.

We are really excited about the possibilities of this dataset and what folks are able to do with it. Looking forward to your questions.
This problem is blown out of proportion.

The energy storage is not a "do or die" issue for the industry by any extent.

Technical solutions for short term energy storage are known, and been used for decades. Were it economically sound, it would've been adopted already. In fact, it is being done when the need is genuine, just without much publicity.

People who spin this topic feel to me to be in the business of selling tech companies.
Modern DDR PHYs require PLL training and adjustment to communicate to the RAM chips because DDR is runs at such high speeds that it is mostly operating in the analog domain these days.

Often this is done by setting registers. The trick is that its hundreds of thousands of registers to alter the way the PHY behaves with regard to impedance and other parameters, and the vast majority are undocumented. So its done with a two stage thing: the first is a generative program that analyses the eye diagrams using feedback from the PHY over a long period of time to get the majority of the settings.

The second half is actually getting the PHY PLLs to sync with the clocks and the RAM, which is done by the PHY at runtime, every boot.
The horrible "be liberal in what you accept, be conservative in what you do" meme is the cause of this. At some point it was decided that it would be too rude to emit a compiler error on someone's junk HTML, so browsers just added hacks to make it work anyway. It has to be backwards compatible too; don't dare break behavior of an old tag that someone out there depends on. There's not much point in switching to XHTML2 with sane versioning, namespacing and extensibility if it's also going to be hacked around because no one wants their input rejected. It's hacks all the way down, by design, forever.
