Or, its deterministic, but so complex that its literally impossible to exploit the determinism to 'look ahead' in any way ... you'd need to simulate every subatomic particle, therefore needing something bigger than the universe to 'look ahead'. So perhaps the universe is like a deterministic computer that is calculating its own future. The determinism in that case just doesn't really mean anything - it can't be repeated, it can't be predicted or exploited. And so the whole problem goes away.

Grid level battery storage is very likely moving to other chemistries. The only reason to use lithium is that it's the chemistry that's the most developed right now, but lithium-ion batteries do not fundamentally speaking have the best properties for grid storage. Lithium-ion is great for energy density, but that's not a critical requirement for the grid.

For grid storage I think molten metal makes the most sense. It's a technology that was developed to be ideal for grid storage from the start. Flow cell batteries might also make sense. And then there's other storage technologies like compressed air, pumped hydro, storing kinetic energy, storing thermal energy, etc.

As a query DSL I don't find a problem with that. It's like saying that query strings in urls are untyped so don't match well. In reality the gap between untyped->typed is super narrow. You almost always immediately scan the results of your query into typed struct fields.
> I'd sooner criticize a parser for mangling numbers above 2^53 (also allowed by the spec)

The spec has something specifically to say about this[0]:

> Note that when such software is used, numbers that are integers and are in the range [-(253)+1, (253)-1] are interoperable in the sense that implementations will agree exactly on their numeric values.

Basically, allow up to 2^53, and you ought to be fine.

I found an article from April 2016 that talks about an electrolyte breakthrough with zinc and manganese batteries:

> the test battery was able to reach a storage capacity of 285 milliAmpere-hours per gram of manganese oxide over 5,000 cycles, while retaining 92 percent of its initial storage capacity.

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/04/160418145631.h...

According to Wikipedia, lithium ion batteries have an energy density of 100–265 Watt-hours per kilogram at 3.6 - 3.8 Volts with 400 - 1,200 cycles. Converting that to Amp-hours (Wh)/(V) =(Ah) means about 74 Ah/Kg in the best case scenario.

I'm not sure if the tech from University of Adelaide is the same as what was published by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and I wasn't able to find any info about discharge/recharge rate, but it looks like it compares very well to lithium ion in the other areas.
It is not the case that every programmer has to know SQL (if it ever was).

Programming is now such a big field that plenty of people will go their whole careers without knowledge that's foundational for other programmers - whether it be SQL, linear algebra, memory management, distributed systems, ...

In a way, it's very cool. Instead of a single-dimensional "how good a programmer are you", we've got a multidimensional space. That, naturally, yields a lot more interesting corners, like, say, what could be invented by someone who knows a lot about databases and GPUs.

I would not describe a service which is only ever used on Kubernetes workers and is only necessary for code running on Kubernetes as having nothing to do with Kubernetes. The fact that you and the OP are so emotionally driven to find a way to dismiss it is what makes it sound like PR — why not just acknowledge there's a real problem which is being fixed and be glad someone documented it well enough to save other people time? Nobody is saying that Kubernetes is bad, or that you shouldn't use it, only that there's an interaction which Java users should know about if they're running on AWS.

I don't think the Earth is going to literally run out of anything, sure. We can always dig deeper, or prospect for more resources out in Siberia, or whatever. But there's something to be said for being concerned about being responsible with this golden age we find ourselves in, when resources are so extraordinarily cheap and abundant. It's not a given that it will be like this forever. Imagine lithium being as rare as gold, and think about whether something like the phenomenon of ubiquitous smartphones would even have been possible.
Given that GCP will happily supply VMs that can be resized to dozens of CPUs and hundreds of GB of RAM and back, billed by the minute, sampling bias isn't even a necessity for quite a lot of things a laptop wouldn't be able to handle.
I used to write Spark jobs for those slightly-too-big data problems, but Pandas and Dask are quite sufficient for lots of things, without all the headache that distributed computing entails.
Plus, data people have no need to store any potentially sensitive data on their personal machines, that's another headache less.
It's not going to work well for petabyte-scale stuff, though. I guess for those kinda things and for periodic bespoke ETL/ELT jobs, Spark is still useful.

It led to Ben's departure because he abjectly refused to listen to the user community, encouraged a tremendous amount of public debate over his personal decision to go against the community's wishes, then single-handedly reverted Isaac Childers' commit accepting the change with the following pithy comment[0]:

> Revert "doc: Removed use of gendered pronouns"

> @isaacs may have his commit bit but that does not mean he is at liberty

> to land patches at will. All patches have to be signed off by either

> me or Bert. Isaac, consider yourself chided.

Do you feel that this is acceptable behavior that should be encouraged? Ben was fully in the wrong here, and if this was instead about Tabs vs Spaces instead of something political in nature, we wouldn't be having this debate. Ben acted childishly, was called out on it, and then _decided to leave of his own volition_ because he felt he was unwanted, which was true given his behavior.

Was it worth it? I don't know, ask Ben.

Yeah I’ve consistently found amazon to be more expensive than other online stores and even brick & mortar sometimes, at least here in Australia. They USED to be cheaper for everything, but not for a while now.

Amazon is good for the occasional sales, stuff that’s hard to find locally, or stuff I need quickly. That’s about it.
I wrote the second article (nextbigfuture) referenced in the nuclear safety citations.

It is irrelevant that the recent nuclear reactor projects in the USA and Europe are expensive. A weighted average of cost and completion times for global nuclear reactor construction would be dominated by the 90% of the nuclear reactors built by China, Russia, South Korea and India.

Do you based your analysis on the price cars based upon the price of a Rolls Royce? Do you price bridges based upon the cost of the Bay Bridge? Tunnels based upon the Big Dig? Rockets based upon the Space Launch System?

Also, nuclear got expensive because constantly increasing regulations and bureaucracy drove up costs in the USA. Reactors without accidents built in China and South Korea for 4 times less. Also, the systemic failure of large construction projects in the US. Skycrapers, bridges, subways and highway costs went up. High-speed rail in California versus China for costs and completions.

China generates as much electricity this year as USA and Europe combined. China will double again within 20 years. Natural gas will dominate US energy mix.

The solar and wind will not scale well beyond 10%. The US will need massive buildout of energy storage and massive energy grid modifications. This will run into the big project incompetence of the USA.
> Walmart and others are sucking while Bezos is executing

I don't know what world you're in, but Walmart is kicking ass as a company and is still posting a net profit larger than Amazon's, despite Amazon making boats of money off of AWS. At this point people prefer shopping at Walmart to Amazon.

Intermediate Floating-Point Precision
Agreed, such a parse would be "to spec". It says "An implementation may set limits on the maximum depth of nesting. An implementation may set limits on the range and precision of numbers."

On a practical level, parsers not handling 64-bit ints has bit me more than parsers not handling 1000+ levels of nesting.
Power line corridors provide important wildlife habitat
I used to sell FBA. I calculated that if the price is below about $8.50, then I will make no money - it'll all be eaten up by Amazon fees (some fees are fixed - not a percentage). If I sell at $10, I get about $1.25. Above that it's somewhat linear (e.g. sell at $20 and you pocket about $10, etc).

In my case, this wasn't a problem. I chose to get into the market specifically to sell FBA. As such, I knew cheap items were not viable for FBA, so I didn't sell cheap items on it.
If you look at the graph, internet usage is a relatively small percentage of media usage. TV + Radio have roughly 2x the consumption of internet based media according to that graph. Which strikes me as odd, although the idea of people in transportation skewing the radio numbers is interesting

Correct - I didn't say it would. What I said is it isn't viable to do in urban areas until they have millimeter wave.
Downside? Sounds like a great way to get anyone you want arrested by the FBI without them knowing who made this all happen.
It's absolutely shocking how many companies don't understand how important these points on the Joel Test are. I forget who made an amended version of this list to change "best tools money can buy" to "giving developers wide allowance in buying tools and hardware which make their job easier. Sometimes this is a 3rd or 4th monitor; sometimes it's a $1500 chair that is so comfortable and makes back pain disappear so that one can concentrate on a feature/bug fix for hours without needing to get up and stretch (yes, a personal thing for me), or non-standard-issue software/tooling like GitKracken or RedGate or BeyondCompare or Sublime Text....

Managers complain about spending so much money that's not in the budget but how much does turnover cost you in terms of lost productivity and recruiting fees?

(And speaking of recruiting fees: why are companies willing to pay $20k or more to recruiters but only a $500 for a referral from current employees? Recruiters in the midwest pay $1000 or more for referrals who get hired -- companies are telling their employees that it's in their interest to tell their qualified friend/lead to contact the recruiter instead of doing an internal referral.)
This is awesome! learning to write in shorthand was in my bucket list, but this! This is way cooler.

imagine writing code as fast as your thoughts are?

Well, also a note: programming is not typing. it's 90% thinking. But at the end of the thought process, it just burns to turn your thoughts into working code ASAP! It would be so nice to streamline, optimize the process of the thought to code transfer. Until mind readers are invented, steno is a great solution
Listen man, you’re obviously a very smart guy (I’m assuming your gender), but it seems that you haven’t been exposed much to the “Austrian School” of economics.

Keynesian theory is the orthodox economic religion, which you have fully subscribed to. Austrians are heretics and we are burned at the stake for our beliefs.

I’ve read both sides. The Austrian school is far more compelling and rational. It cuts through the obscurantist bullshit with precision.

To me, Keynesian theory with its justification for continued economic chaos, is for those suffering from “battered wife syndrome”. To accept the Keynesian excuses, is akin to a wife getting brutally raped and beaten by her husband every day, while telling everyone “It’s OK, I deserve it, he knows what’s best for me”.

If you haven’t seriously examined the Austrian side of the debate, have a look at this:

In the first link, read the paragraph that begins with "In the face of overwhelming arguments against inflationary expansion ..." . The entire article is good but that really gets to the point of inflation.
All the data you need is available courtesy of the St Louis Federal Reserve, and they also have a nice python api.

To some extent you´re right, the people involved are under a lot of political pressure to only publish the favourable stuff (although the occasional cry for help can sometimes be discerned from the footnotes), but the data is there. As are the reports. The real trouble is nobody seems to be reading them.
But that wouldn’t potentially kick off a circle jerk though...

IMO, the most interesting power source mid term is tracking solar power. https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy19osti/72399.pdf

At grid scale 1 access tracking is ~7% higher per watt which works out to about 2.14c/kWh in an ideal location. https://pv-magazine-usa.com/2019/06/28/los-angeles-seeks-rec...

However, these systems produces ~30% more power outside of the normal range for solar systems. This effectively squashes much of the duck curve and with the right mix and wide geographic distribution work well with nuclear power and modest energy storage systems.
I was interested in Codex but at the same time I played Fantasy Strike for a hot minute and it kinda cooled me on Sirlin-as-designer rather than Sirlin-as-analyst. I'd be interested in whether anybody has played Codex and enjoyed it.
I totally agree. I also think the newer art looks like it was made to be wall sized, and really just looks muddy, dark, and obscures details when it’s the size of a card. Looking back at old art, it soooooo much clearer and more flavorful.

It's much more likely that Amazon will just start to sunset the Amazon marketplace all together. In some ways they already have.

VendorExpress was an initiative designed to get rid of 3P sellers and create a direct relationship with manufacturers. It sort of worked. The 3P sellers started pretending that they were manufacturers though. They recently sunset/sunsat/sunsetted that program.

The new program, OneVendor, will give Amazon a lot more control of who sells what and how. And their new Transparency program will eliminate a lot of the middle men playing the arbitrage game all together.

It's worth noting that most of the complaints against Amazon are from middlemen, scammers and arbitrageurs who make a living as leeches. When Amazon destroys their "business", they sue. While it's true that prices on Amazon are going up that's not necessarily a bad thing. You often have a situation where a manufacturer's items are leaking out into the Amazon ecosystem through arbitrageurs. When they finally take control of their own product listings they want to raise prices to parity with the rest of retail. The arbitrageurs lose. Amazon wins. The manufacturer wins. Traditional retail wins because Amazon is no longer undercutting them so deeply. And while the customer does lose, in a sense by paying more, the customer service is greatly increased.
> windows 10 has no built-in media player that can handle a DVD

It was something like ~$15-$25 per copy in licensing fees that they could save. Moving that to a Store purchase was purely a financial move to save Windows costs. For everyone complaining about the Candy Crush installer shortcut, imagine how many ads there'd be if they still included DVD playing out of the box, even though hardly no one was using it.
The government isn't bargaining at all. It's dictating prices at that point. But price controls break everything. If you set the price too low you reduce supply. If a company knows they'll have to charge $5000/patient for a drug in order to recover the billion dollars they spend developing it but they also know the government will only pay $1000/patient, they don't bother to develop it. Meanwhile if their lobbyists can convince the government to let them charge $10,000/patient then they're in fat city on the back of the taxpayer.

Calibrating that balance correctly is the exact thing markets are good at. When you're spending your own money, you may be willing to pay $4000 more for a better drug, but only if it's $4000 better.
Yeah, do you happen to know why it is reversed in French?

I run a service in the same space (https://emailoctopus.com/amazon-ses) and we see a lot of Sendy defectors. Their code desperately needs a rewrite.
Market forces do not care if the power source emits carbon or not. We have to deal with that, and I don't like it either. Despite my surface appearance of being anti-nuclear because I point out the irrational, emotional nature of pro-nuclear arguments, I would greatly prefer to keep existing nuclear plants running until end-of-life, rather than replacing them with gas.

But market forces disagree with me.

So what's the alternative? Crushing carbon taxes? That would eliminate the "intermittent" wind and solar solutions that are clean, safe, and cheap, because at the moment they need gas to balance the load. And it would effectively be doubling the cost of energy production in order to subsidize nuclear. And it still doesn't give us an exit ramp, so we'd have to build more nuclear and continue to de facto prohibit solar indefinitely. That's absurd.

What appears most practical to me is taking advantage of gas in the short run to load-balance wind/solar, and eventually moving to energy storage for the balancing, encouraged via increasing carbon tax.

Intrigue is good but you have to have a consistent playerbase to start rolling that stuff into the game. But I find that the base game is pretty intuitive and somebody can play competitively even on their first play-through.
