Also, they could harvest sea water or condensation to generate hydrogen.

To produce one kilogram of hydrogen, 12 cubic meters, it takes 9 kg of water and 50 kWh of electricity. The solar Zeppelin described above could generate 2,589 cubic meters of hydrogen a day. At this rate, it would take 77 days to fill the Graf Zeppelin's 200,000 cubic meter capacity

Funnily enough, you'll find that I'm very pro free speech – I defend speech that many (most?) find deplorable. By that token I object to censorship, here and in more totalitarian places like China.

I cannot, however, abide by the inflamed rhetoric that is tolerated in many media (mass and social) concerning the so-called "enemies" of the West, namely: China, Russia, Iran, Venezuela, etc.

If you cannot express your disapproval of this singular example of academic censorship without resorting to “This is disgusting. I felt sick just reading the headline. What an absolutely disgusting country.” then maybe you need to take some time to figure out how to express yourself better.

First off, where's your sense of proportion. Secondly, academic censorship and some jail time does not usually elicit tangible revulsion.

I have been guilty of the same in the past. I try now to express my disapproval in a more measured, even-handed, less emotional, less name-calling way. It's tough when you see red to take a breath or two but for the sake of public discourse we all gotta try.

Everything Is an Opportunity: Turning Problems into Opportunities
My advice is different than a lot of what is here. My suggestion (engineer turned exec turned investor after some exits) is to speak with the team lead directly about the issues you're having with their leadership. Try to be clear and be sure to present what your ideal best-solution would have been for 1 or 2 cases where you've had issues.

Either in parallel or after, depending on how the talk goes, also speak with the founders about your issues. If you're solving the big hairy problems for the business, you could suggest a role that's tailor-made to your strong suits (not working with a team lead, not needing to supervise engineers, whatever it is you want). In any case, any founder worth their weight in salt would want to hear that their star engineer is not getting along with a team lead. If it was me as the founder, I'd take your feedback and then solicit more from other people on the team and then make a call as to where the "fit" seems off.

As to burnout, if you've "solved" the big problems and are giving the company a pathway to revenue/profitability/etc. then I would strongly suggest you don't quit. You're well on the way to being indispensable and can use that as leverage in any future salary/role discussions. At the very least, tell the founders where you're at and say you want a vacation.
Population growth is slowing, and population is predicted to flatten out. So yay!
This book has had the single biggest influence on how I motivate and lead engineering teams[1]. It's an easy read, and the main thought on delegating decisions down hold very well for software engineering, and on how to create a culture of high-autonomy, high-performance.

Apple to release 6.7 inch iPhone in 2020
This should apply to the whole thread rather than that comment.
i think the alarm is a bit overrated. it talks about "misinformation campaigns indistinguishable from reality", but if so it means they don't add more view prejudice to reality than the one that it already possess, so no harm

the danger is when disinformation distorts reality and in that case it's very distinguishable from reality, at least, i think, to an educated mind. for the others i don't think misinformation does anything for their worldview than what they have right now, if anything is just a case of confirmation bias playing on their susceptible minds

the greatest danger is for people with open minds but little literacy to digest and filter info from crap noise that can become prey of some well crafted campaigns to elude. but for better or worst people are more educated now than they were once before and we can foresee that they will be even more when the problem becomes too manifest, but will it be enough?

but even in the worst scenario i anticipate probably nothing more than an inconvenient drawback - but there's how society evolves anyway, a perpetual dialectic motion of advances and set backs - because to be really useful prejudice world views should possess better predicaments for the worlds troubles and that they have not, because paradoxically if that had they would be not prejudices in the first place. so they could only engage people on some conditioned response temporarily before reality throws them out. but maybe i'm being naive, who knows?

I'm not saying it couldn't be done (and run on Linux of course) but the entire industry needs professional support tailoring the needed software package, solve problems, install updates or define the needed hardware all are (presumably easily) solvable with Microsoft or Google products, but don't have out of the box solutions for an entire country.

You can't rely on a school kid or teacher to install Linux distributions or download the right software.

That's an interesting take. Why do you define it as slave labor?
If you buy an expensive car, produced in low volumes, with little competition in the independent repair shop and aftermarket parts industry, expect to pay through the nose for maintenance, repairs and body work.

Welcome to semiconductor industry.

Value every bit of RAM you have, as it was won in an uneven battle against entropy, and laws of nature.

I think I wrote before that in my teenage years, I thought of studying for a process engineer. After living in Singapore, and meeting 2 retired TSMC senior engineers there, I decided against that.

I had kind of a mentee-mentor relationship with them. Their told me of horrors of "studying for a PhD for a coffee porter job," and me having to be ready to endure that for many years to have a remotest chance to get into semi RnD.

The industry was just too competitive, and market dynamics are keeping to get more and more adverse against newcomers with each passing year.

Each new generation of FABs is getting more and more automated, which means more and more experienced process specialists are being thrown on the job market with each new fab closure, and each of them wanting to go from FAB to RnD.

They themselves said their decision to quit was thanks to that, and it happened many years prior to them migrating to Singapore, and that it would've been even worse at the time they were mentoring me.

I agree. Transparent cloud wages based on skills is the solution.

Do you really have that as a responsibility? Would the company give you notice or fire you on the day?
That falls very short of what should be done to limit our impact on the planet for the sake of protecting the environment and remaining wilderness.

I really don't understand this disconnect between the message of urgency about the environment and the climate, and the widespread complacency about an actual root cause of the issue (as illustrated by your comment), which is population growth: "Oh it's slowing and will probably stabilise at 11 billions... that's fine. On the other hand, we must be emissions-neutral and stop using plastics by tomorrow." That's totally incoherent.
How are you going to reach people nowadays, except via technology?

Also, we're pretty much on a timer right now to get things right on at least climate change policy. We don't have the luxury of 30 years, or even a decade, to 'get over these issues'.

You can simultaneously believe that 'all the kinks with new technologies got worked out eventually' and 'it really sucked for the ones who didn't survive the transition'
Airline crashes have a surprisingly high survivability rate (because the typical crash is not the craft plummeting from 30k feet, but some kind of runway incident).

To your overall point though, hydrogen isn't that much worse. In fact, many leading airship disasters involved helium.

USS Shenandoah is typical of the most common enemy of airships--strong winds. The captain warned that the updrafts and storms in the Midwest would destroy the ship but was ordered to fly over several cities anyway, just for a promotional tour.

The deadliest airship disaster in history is not the Hindenburg, but the lesser known USS Akron, a helium ship that was simply destroyed in bad weather.

You completely misinterpreted my small single sentence and misread my background too. I don't intend to discredit Singapore. AT ALL. I have high respect for Singapore as a nation and some of my best friends live there. I lived there for three years, founded a startup there. My "professional connections" to China are absolutely tiny in comparison and have nothing to do with my statement.

Not everyone has political motives! I am also not picking sides for or against anyone, unlike what you seem to want to do and what you are trying to paint me as doing. The world isn't black or white.

There’s No Business Development Like Show Business Development
Somewhat tangentially related: I wrote this in a private note to a friend last year. I don't believe this 100%, but the idea is worth exploring in my opinion:

1. Corporations desperately pursue continuous growth, even when they're already profitable, and do so at the expense of the environment, employee welfare and sometimes, the rule of law.

2. Corporations pursue growth because investors demand it.

3. Investors demand growth because they want a certain minimum return on investment.

4. Investors need to invest money in instruments with a certain minimum ROI because if they don't, inflation will erode their savings.

5. This continuous growth requirement forces companies to compete for larger and larger portions of market share, which in turn forces their competitors to compete harder in response.

6. The end result is a sort of "Red Queen" effect where everyone is forced to compete harder and harder just to maintain his/her existing standard of living.

7. We know that the more extreme a competition becomes, the more ruthless the participants become, often to the point of acting immorally.

8. Therefore, we should focus on curbing inflation to curb the pace of overwhelming growth, and thereby restore some measure of social justice.
In case you haven't noticed, there is a trade war going on, and this is the propaganda front.
Good tip, thanks!

Not connecting to Wifi doesn't really seem to be an option for me. I bought my Samsung smart TV purely with the intention of using it for Netflix, Blu-Ray and Youtube (which is already tracked). It sometimes connects to television if the source gets switched, but I've randomly had it on the same German nature channel since day one. I'm not even sure what the rules are for TV tracking in Germany though.
There is also a distinction between logical and quantitative thinking. Some people operate mainly out of a "whether or not" mindset, and they are not inclined to think in terms of "how much", "to what degree", or "how likely". Scientists tend to be quantitative thinkers, although computer scientists are quite often logical thinkers.
How to Get Rid of Visceral Fat
Presumably learning "spreadsheets" at the level taught in schools is much more useful than learning $brandname software's quirks.

Also, at least when I went to school the software versions used were fairly old (partly because of the budget and partly because that is what the teachers originally developed their course for). Those were different enough (think pre-ribbon) to trip those people up who memorized instead of learning what things mean. I.e. "spreadsheets" skills transfer, "this is what the button looks like in office 95" does not.

Schools are for learning not for training for corporate.

Has this been affected by the on-going replication crisis?

A lot of mobile SOCs have a "reference training" data, and they do rerun link training at startup.

In some applications, it is not enough. Number one example is if you have your PC in an open air environment, and you have significant humidity changes. In such cases, PCB trace capacitance can change enough to lead to a crash.

How one re-runs training when the chip is online is a very big thing in mobile SoC world, and this is why link training programs are often shipped encrypted by some SoC vendors.

> To be honest, for me the point where you discover "this media query does not behave correctly on this device that I need to support" is where you stop digging and find a different solution for detecting pointing devices.

It enabled me to go back to the customer and explain the problem and make the informed decision to not continue work on the problem. The fact is that the broken OnePlus devices (not all of them, and not all the time) represent a very small proportion of the devices we need to support.
We already pretty much curbed inflation. The issue is that people still expect high returns and high interest rates, but these have fallen especially risk free rates, but also maybe returns on risky investments.

But there isn't just one search engine and you will still have to submit all the urls of these possible hundreds of places to all of them so they can be blocked.

I've tried it with the latest versions (as of now), but it doesn't seem to match up with how good Chrome is at it. I've tried both normal Firefox and the developer version.

Most of the "empty" space on the map world is an inhospitable desert. Sahara, Australian Outback, Namib, the Arctic, North American West, Tibet, Kazakhstan, Antarctica, Patagonia.

While that is all true, at least to me it sounds like the old explanation of why Communism failed - "It was indeed superior, but all the world had to agree so for it to work".

Say one country develops this utopia where everyone doesn't have to compete to survive, either companies or individuals.

Its neighbour though remains with the old Capitalist model. In a generation or two the struggling capitalist country could overtake the utopia one in production, wealth or even by force. Then you're back to square one.
It's an old cliche, and I personally suspect it's more a case of the cliche informing cultural expectations and behaviours than this being an inborn thing. I think I've seen some research in the past that women and girls perform just as well on math and numbers as men and boys, as long as you separate them from those cultural expectations.

Of course there's a lot of individual variation. Some people simply are bad at math. But I think more people allow themselves to be intimidated by it when it's not necessary.

In any case, my mother and sister were/are better with numbers than words (which is also true for the men in my family).

As for IQ, it's about a lot more than just being good with numbers. There are many aspects to it. Though it also depends on how you define it. Different IQ tests can sometimes measure different things.
It is a fun event! I wrote a little bit about it and the languages that were used last year: https://j11g.com/2018/12/03/advent-of-code/
Inflation may occur due to uncontrollable factors, like scarcity of resources as they are consumed at a basic rate. Increasing scarcity means everyone must now compete harder to get the same basic rate of consumption from the reduced resource pool size, regardless of whether corporations or investments or governments even existed at all.

Another source of inflation is increasing wage & benefit demands, especially from large middle or lower classes who want to afford to consume more because they value the greater consumption as an important part of life, a noble and intrinsically morally good goal of bettering one’s self through self-determined hard work such that the value of your labor and skill increases over time.

In direct response to large classes of workers demanding more pay & benefits, companies will raise their prices to pay for those increases, again totally regardless of whether a stock market exists.

I think really inflation is a side-effect of nature, and thinking along the lines of how to long-term control or remove it is counter-productive, compared with accepting that it is inevitable and then trying to come to terms with living in the future world that this implies.
I've worked at all sorts of companies but it's actually been the same company over and over it's the broken top down hierarchy mixed with control dramas and disempowerment where initiative is punishable and the only way to get ahead is to strike a deal with some kind of clique at the expense of the client

It's refreshing to know this book exists and I'll certainly look it up but I have zero hope for so called corporate culture because it's lemmings all the way down and lead follow or get out of the way is blocked by some callous know it all opening their yawning pie hole to dish out googlisms
