This article and your comment actually clarified a lot for me. I always thought it was strange how many quintessentially "Thai" things have the word "Thai" in their names (muay thai, pad Thai, Thai tea, etc.) It didn't seem natural that people would make stuff and then self-consciously name it after their own ethnicity. It would be like Indians calling their tea preparation "Indian Tea" rather than just using "chai," the native Indian word for "tea."

The Indianness of the tea wouldn't have been a relevant thing if it's being made in India for other Indians after all. So why would Thai people invent a style of boxing and then call it "Thai style boxing" even in their native language?

It hadn't occurred to me that it was all a top-down effort to create a "national identity" and didn't organically develop from the folk culture at all.
RSUs should be a lot more reality based, these are not options to purchase on a hypothetical future liquidity event, they're restricted stock that turns into real shares on public markets upon vesting.

Write the topic of the note on the index line, and store them sorted. If a card connects multiple topics, pick one and make cross-reference cards that point to the topic with the actual note.

The act of filing new notes will force you to at least glance at your old ones, which can generate serendipitous mental connections. You'll also see when you have multiple cards covering the same topic, which helps to link disparate facts about the same thing together in your head.

(1) Those numbers do not make distinction between Youtube/Vimeo (no DRM) and Netflix/Hulu (DRM). As an anecdote, none of my friends watch Netflix on their desktops, so while they spend plenty of bandwidth, none of them requires Widevine.

(2) Those numbers are bytes transferred, which is hardly a good metric of user importance. If you look at "top 100 websites" reports, like [0], you see there are no DRM-only sites at the top -- Netflix, for example, is on position 25.

And adding to that: the public DOES understand this. People in Western Germany (especially in NRW where they have to suffer from coal and are close to French and Belgium reactors) just shake heads in disbelief while having to swallow the highest electricity prices in Europe...
Interesting. Oil companies frack to get petroleum, and are OK with burning the natural gas at the well head. I get the impression that a big reason they choose to capture the natural gas instead is criticism of just burning it by environmentalists, but maybe it is more environmentally friendly to just burn it in the absence of the political will to ban fracking. (I am assuming that burning at the well head is an effective way to reduce the amount of unburnt gas released.)
It's very open to changes - this is just the initial public release. I'm looking forward to great ideas from the community.
Ah, I see. When I hear subpixel I think rendering, didn't realize that it was also used for that.
I heat with heat pumps instead of natural gas.

(BTW: Not sure if you did the numbers, but with my solar system, electricity is so darn cheap that running a heat pump (air) is cheaper than running a natural gas furnace. If my house was smaller.)

I also put in a wood stove and light the fire when it's extremely cold and I'm home for awhile. Wood is carbon neutral. (The carbon released is carbon that the tree captured while it was alive.) (Although some people like to point out that burning wood releases particulates and other nasty pollutants.)

It's not a small improvement though, it's the primary source of the USA's emissions gains. And it comes with the side bonus of promoting energy independence while also creating exportable products.

Sorry but this is complete fiction. Sleeper cells around the world? This is Iran, a struggling government not Mission Impossible. There's nothing Iran could or would do that the US doesn't do to itself via mass shootings, wildfires, shitty government policies, etc.

If Iran did anything like a terrorist attack on US soil, it would open the door for the US to completely devastate Iran through bombings, etc, and that's not what the Iranian government wants. What they did was probably the smartest thing they could do, which is show explosions on their TVs so say they attacked back, but incur no loss of life to escalate things.

Just wariness about spreading around my tumblr credentials. There’s probably a secure way to do it, I just haven’t thought about it much.
I like the list, but don't like the adversarial tone. I don't think it's me vs. men all the time. Some men are jerks, most are not. More actionables:

* Remove "just" from your vocabulary, emails, talks, everything. "I just want you to be aware that ..." "I'm just doing this to..." "It's just that ..." "Just making sure ..." Trim 100%.

* Bake cakes, participate in office pot-lucks or whatever. Never be part of the setup/cleanup crew (have you noticed they are almost always women, admins type). This makes you a jerk, true, but disassociates you from the soft-skills crew. Until the cleanup crew becomes frequently and mostly men, stay away.

* You're eventually going to have to fight for something you care about. Pick battles 1) that you can win; 2) with someone above your weight. How do you become a blackbelt? By beating a blackbelt. It's no thing to gainsay some design decision made by the FNG, better to convert a decision made by someone seen as your technical equivalent or superior.

Future of Freecodecamp.org: Lessons from 5 Years of Teaching the World to Code
There was a copy of the code for Singularity, the predecessor to Midori, on CodePlex. Not sure if it ever got moved to Github.

It has to be said, though. It's more like "source available", not open source. I can't remember what the license is specifically, but it's not a proper open source license.

You could see it, build it, and play with it, but you couldn't do anything else with it. No sharing changes, no derivatives, etc.

Singularity would be a neat place to start working on a managed code OS, though.

I would prefer that they properly open source Midori.

this is a very interesting and good question.

RSUs are golden handcuffs.

You'll continually get a raise each year and a portion of that will be new RSUs that vest over the next four years. If you ever want to leave, that continually means leaving a substantial amount of money on the table. Thankfully some companies will give you a hiring bonus equal to your unvested RSUs though (edit: the big tech companies poaching from each other will sometimes do it, for those asking).

As with all things labor related, RSUs are transactional. "Loyalty" shouldn't play into it because a large publicly traded corporation can only be so loyal to every one of it's employees.
Gen1 airpods basically suck after 1.5 years in because they only hold 30 min of call battery life.

Don't tell that to my Gen1 AirPods which I use daily and get me from 8:00am to 11:45am (3.75 hours) before they need to be recharged. I got them for Valentine's Day in 2017, so they're 2 years and almost 11 months old.
I have lived and traveled in China as well. You are trying to explain Chinese deficiencies with exceptions. For every exception you state, there are plenty more conflicting cases that are extremely under-reported or completely withheld from even Chinese local media, let alone to foreign press. There are plenty of people that are being jailed and publicly forced to admit guilt for crimes they did not commit. There are people (including high profile people) that are kidnapped, tortured, killed. There is a complete bribe system to get general care in the hospital. Sure, I agree that the lives of the average Chinese has improved in relative terms but the way in which it is received is at the cost of the true potential of the nation. Tell me when regular citizens have access to the full internet and the uncensored thoughts and ideas of the free world. Until then, China is just an experiment of Plato's Allegory of the Cave and a richer version of North Korea.
That's not how computers work. If you own the OS, you can do whatever you want and the game software is subject to the whims of your universe. The closest you can come is with "consoles" where you just attempt to prevent everyone from running code other than yours.

What are you willing to sacrifice to vest those RSUs, besides just time?

Your mental health?

Your physical health?

Watching your kids grow up?

Your marriage?

Etc. As other folks have alluded to it can sound relatively trivial (and sometimes it is, but often not) until you're actually staring into the abyss. The flip side is that quarterly RSU vesting is highly effective as a retention tool. I've known brilliant people pushed to their absolute breaking point before they finally leave (Amazon, I'm looking at you).

> The article still has no answer on why it is so difficult to actually get a Sonos to play nice with the two interfaces supplied by Amazon and Google

This is answered in the article. That's what GhettoMaestro is talking about. Specifically - Google said that it would pull Assistant support if Sonos added support to simultaneously listen for Alexa. That's the answer as to why they don't support 2 competing interfaces. Not a technical decision - but looks more like a business decision from Google.

Even if you disregard bullying - this seems like a way for Google to assert exclusivity.

>APIs that every consumer can hookup with IFTTT

This only works if the API is open enough to use. I somehow don't think Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant agreements with third-parties would support that.
> The other guy would constantly shit on EVERY idea presented by a woman. ... "women aren't very good at engineering, I'm a better programmer (he wasn't) and need to clean up their ideas first"

Sounds like a toxic narcissist. And sadly, really common - it's the sort of attitude that's often hiding in these "Group X rules, Group Y are lame!" controversies.

Just push back calmly and confidently, and you'll find that it's quite possible to keep these people in check. Ultimately though, I don't think their attitude is compatible with an effectively-functioning workplace.
If you build a bunch of $2B shiny new gas facilities, as we are doing today, utilities will want to run them for decades.

They'll want to run them for decades if they remain the cheapest options. Any combination of these developments could retire them well short of their technically achievable lifetimes:

- States and municipalities implement more ambitious decarbonization laws.

- Storage-backed clean energy costs fall.

- Natural gas prices rise as unprofitable producers exit the market.

Additionally, gas plant load factors can decline even without shuttering the facility if renewables bid below their pricing much of the time. Burning half as much gas in a year is a big emissions improvement even if the plant remains in business.

Natural gas plants are less "sticky" than coal plants for a number of reasons.

They employ small numbers of people compared to coal plants, so there is less political incentive to subsidize them just to prevent job losses.

There are few, if any, new natural gas plants co-located with gas production facilities. "Mine mouth" coal power plants had an additional element of stickiness because the mining jobs and plant jobs are eliminated together when the power plant closes, amplifying the local incentives to keep coal plants running for jobs.

Natural gas plants are much cheaper to construct than coal plants, so their costs are recouped faster.

See Table 1 in this 2016 report:

https://www.eia.gov/analysis/studies/powerplants/capitalcost...

Natural gas combined cycle plants have overnight capital costs of $978/kW, while the cheapest new coal option is $3636/kW.

This report from 2017 indicates that NGCC plants might be even cheaper than that:

https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=31912

It says that the actual cost of NGCC plants built in 2015 was $614/kW, nearly 6 times cheaper than the estimated cost of a coal plant.
> If you get fired, unless it qualifies under some due cause, the options should immediately vest.

That definitely didn't happen at my company. We had a round of layoffs and the package offered to people who signed an agreement not to sue only included a couple weeks of accelerated vesting. There was no performance management system in place either, so the people fired were basically just the bottom of the stack rank their managers were asked to turn in, which was often based more on personal like or dislike than performance.

There was one engineer entering his fourth year, who had saved the company 30 million dollars during his term with infrastructure efficiency improvements, who was laid off and lost millions in the RSUs that would have vested that last year (he was on a 10/20/30/40% schedule). All the ICs speculated he was fired so the company wouldn't have to pay.
Not a huge fan of 3D printed cases since they will probably not do super great with the heat over time. If you like this form factor, check out the mini-box M350 or the Velka Velcase 3.

The Velcase 3 has the interesting advantage that it can just use straight-up discrete GPUs (mITX style shorty cards) so you can just use a normal 3700X and say a 2070 or similar.

Yes, the lack of a socketed version of the new APUs was kind of disappointing, as was the lack of a B550 launch to support PCIe 4.0 on a cheaper board without a chipset fan.

Hopefully these follow sometime in the future but we may have to wait for computex.
- I work remotely and live in a city where I can walk.

- I try to avoid buying new things for as long as possible. When I can, I repair what I own or buy used. Living in a small apartment provides some natural incentives to avoid buying too much stuff.

- I avoid eating meat, and when I do, try to eat Chicken or fish.

- I try to take short showers and don't flush the toilet if I only urinate (it took my wife a while to get used to this, but she came around after a bit).

- I avoid using paper towels and reuse aluminum foil and bags as often as possible (often, you can wipe off the aluminum foil and use it a second or third time).

Some of these may not make much of a difference.

I have not spent too much time thinking about this, so my reasoning may be faulty, but I will share it anyway:

I am more worried about deforestation and the rainforests and poaching than climate change.

I want to keep a healthy planet so that conscious beings, and especially humans, can continue enjoying it. Thus, there is a balance between enjoying life (e.g., traveling) and reducing emissions. It seems, as is often the case with difficult ethical questions, that finding balance is key.
The new OnLive? Nah
How do you even calculate that number? I can start a company tomorrow and give myself a billion dollar stock grant. That those are worthless doesn't take away from the fact that the total market cap of tech has grown by trillions of dollars over the last decade, and a good chunk of that gain has gone to rank-and-file employees via RSUs.
(Mostly pointless comment to add some balance)

I'm Vegan and the name doesn't bother me at all to be honest. I do not agree with the downvoting of parent though, as his reasoning is er.. reasonable.
I think this shows a fundamental misunderstanding of multiplayer games, to be honest.

Consider games like WoW. Ask anyone what the game is like, and you'll find that the game "doesn't really begin" until you are already max level. That is, the "real" content of the game is all of the Guild-related activities. Everything up to that point is more or less an extended tutorial that lasts for dozens of hours.

Cheating because you want to skip the "tutorial" and quickly get to the point where you can play at the same level as your friends seems like a perfectly reasonable goal. In fact, now a days I believe WoW provides a free (high) level character for all new players, but for a long time, you needed to run through that grind yourself, or pay a microtransaction to skip up.
Absolutely. But OP is focused on getting good projects for the developers and usually the devs saying they can't find customers are in locations where the COL is too high for this to be profitable for them.

One to get around this problem is to focus on only doing the same kind of work and getting better at doing it quickly so it becomes profitable to you, or doing it in a more Productized Service fashion. But that's a solution to a different problem, not what the OP was asking about.

Actually france doesn't know how much nuclear costs. The dismantling has been order of magnitude at least understimated.
> This focus is in direct contrast to nuclear's greatest weakness that no one talks about; it's maintenance and manpower costs.

You say weakness - and I say that more people die from falls, from installing rooftop solar panels, than do in nuclear accidents.

Power generation is inherentantly dangerous. Just because you distribute the danger around, instead of centralizing it, does not mean that you've reduced the danger.

As for the economics of nuclear, as time goes on we are finding that the actual alternative to nuclear is not renewables. It's natural gas, sourced from either fracking, or Russia.

Compared to the uptick in natural gas, renewables are a rounding error.
I'm not sure if I should mention it here, but in case some people are not familiar -- these lines make using vim a very easy experience for those used to CUA editing interfaces:

It doesn't really change the command mode if you're used to traditional vim, but you can use shift-arrow keys to select text in VISUAL mode, use CUA commands like C-c, C-x and C-v, etc. Keys like Home, End, C-insert, and S-delete also work.
