During a sabbatical trip in the Canadian Arctic in 1975, I came in close proximity with a beluga in Hudson Bay and was impressed with the unusual vocalizations which was in-air and about 3 feet from me. The beluga was tragically killed by Inuit a few minutes later. That's how my interest started. I later learned the basics from two people who were leaders in this field.
What publications would you recommend for C and C++?

5G to me sounds like the tipping point. Who needs gigabit connectivity on data? Seems a bit needless.

TCL was/is a wonderful glue language and by that I mean it is great for connecting diverse things together. Company I worked at in the late 90's, used to to control a few hundred modems hanging some RS/6000's taking customer terminal orders.
This was all handled by TCL and even had a lovely X11 control interface thanks to TK. These then got sent upto the mainfrom for processing.
Was also used to provide an assured file transfer to an AS/400 over FTP.
At the time you had shell, peal, or was looking at C and the likes of java still being defined and in need of optimisation (saw some nice stuff in java, but would need 10x resources to run compared to alternatives, moore's law helped that within a few years afterwards).

But it was robust and great at interacting with whatever you wanted and enabling you to do it in a controlled way.

It reminds me how it is perceived in much the same way AWK was and still is, it's a hidden gem that many never bothered with but if you spend a bit of time to learn it, you start to think, why didn't I look into this more earlier.

Though python has in so many ways, usurped it and indeed AWK for their niche uses, they still have their places.

Yes, that's why it is not binding elsewhere, which doesn't mean it has no effect. Particularly, if another Circuit has not issued a conflicting ruling, the Ninth Circuit ruling can be cited in and relied on by trial courts in that circuit as persuasive, rather than binding, precedent, so it can have an impact from the very earliest stages of the process.

A circuit split is also a reason for the Supreme Court to take a case, so the Ninth Circuit decision, without being binding, makes it less likely that any conflicting decision by another circuit will be the final resolution of the case in which that conflicting decision is issued, which is an important effect at the other end of the process.
No, but as a child I lived in a house heated by wood in Minnesota, so I have an idea of how much wood it takes. Dead wood small enough to break by hand is unlikely to produce heat over night. You want fairly big chunks of hardwood for that. An a cave would be harder to heat than a house when it is -25 F.

I'm aware of the old saying, build a small fire, sit close to stay warm; build a big fire, chop wood to stay warm.

They're much, much better, and extremely useful, for just about any work that involves building or fixing things in the real world, to pick one large category of work. I'd personally find a laptop maybe 1/10 as useful as an iPhone (or smartphone more generally), at best, when, say, working on my house or car. Watching construction contractors work, they seem to love their phones and use them constantly, too, and for a lot more than making calls and sending messages.

It's like carrying around a whole office's worth of office equipment in your pocket. It's a document scanner, you can use it to measure stuff, to get paperwork signed, to take pictures and look at them later, it's a level or flashlight in a pinch, you can load reference materials on it, and on and on, and that's without getting into really specialized software or peripherals that let you do all kinds of cools stuff.
Storing all your work in a Google account and then getting locked out of it for some reason is also kind of bad.

The environmental impact of covering enough land to fulfill world marketed energy demand would probably be insignificant, especially compared to agriculture. The sun on 0.1% of the world's surface would provide all of world marketed energy demand.

There are some possible nuances, though:

1. We do need to be careful about the environmental impact of the manufacturing. Current semiconductor manufacturing is not a major polluter, but semiconductor manufacturing has been a major polluter in the past before emissions controls were imposed, and we're talking about scaling up semiconductor fabrication by about three orders of magnitude.

2. Shading a significant proportion of the Atacama, the Sahara, and the Gobi will surely produce local environmental changes. Perhaps it will give rise to new oases, as shipwrecks sometimes become artificial reefs. But it's hard to predict things like this.

3. It seems very unlikely that energy demand will remain static in the face of such a dramatic expansion of energy supply and consequent lowering of costs, so construction probably will not stop just because current world marketed energy demand is met. In the 2040s we will surely be complaining about the percentage of the Pacific that is covered in nasty solar barges.

I don't know if OP is the author, but if so could you suggest some papers where people actually go about implementing ethics into a system even just as a very basic PoC? I'd be really interested.

Re: nuclear waste

Deep core drilling seems to solve all the problems. Burying waste 3 km deep under 2 km of dirt makes it immune to even geological timescale movements. It also solves the problem of security; it's hard to see how a bad actor could drill a 2 km deep hole without being noticed.
Tcl is very similar to LISP where the "list" is a delimiter-separated string instead of the car-cdr thing.

It's a clever language but it has the kind of sloppiness that Python has for better and for worse. In particular (in both languages) you can look up the stack and see and influence more than most people think you should.

I've come to appreciate the module system in Javascript which is static enough to allow tree shaking. You could not do that reliably for Tcl or Python -- you can't even do it in Java because almost all Java code does something with passing strings to the Classloader, even if it is just the standard library looking things up in resource files.

Many people who like Tcl have moved on to Lua for various reasons.

If you can only charge $100, but it costs $110, what happens isn't that it gets sold at $100 anyhow. What happens is that it doesn't get sold.

Nobody has an obligation to manufacture insulin.

I'm not saying the costs are $110. I don't know. I'm just explaining why this can result in lost insulin.

Closed to outside funds in 1993 (shortly after ussr collapse), returns after fees (and paying everybody as well at the firm) are above 50%, assets of 10 billion and anything above the 10 billion gets paid out every year.. so roughly 5 billion plus gets paid out every year?

with drawdown on simple bets, the average compounding step per play, for a given edge and bet size, is

((1+bet)^(0.5+edge))*((1-bet)^(0.5-edge)))
= ((1-bet^2)^0.5 * ((1+bet)/(1-bet))^edge

For a given bet size, there's room to make your edge large enough (without exceeding 0.5) to make the (>1) right-side factor overwhelm the (<1) left side.

According to a recent study in JAMA Internal Medicine, in the 1990s Medicaid paid between $2.36 and $4.43 per unit of insulin; by 2014, those prices more than tripled, depending on the formulation.
For me it's just easier to get my head around having a new network interface presented rather than this pile of security associations and transform configurations. I can just re-use my firewalling and routing knowledge and do not have to put my mind into IPsec mode to manage this. That aside, I think it's still quite a lot easier to use IPsec tooling when you want something that plays along with certificate based multi-level trust models.

If the law simply prevents prices higher than $100 in Illinois then manufacturers and distributors might stop selling in the state or only take orders from the state if they have surplus. Either of which might hit availability in the state, especially if the industry tries to make an example out of this.

I guess it also depends on the profit margin at that price and how it compares with the "market price".

Hmm, I think what you're alluding to is that pumped hydro is about 70-85% efficient and Li-ion is sometimes quoted at 100% efficient (in theory). But here are some more details.

In reality, when Li-ion batteries are installed in a large system, I believe the round-trip efficiency is quoted much closer to PHS. Sorry, i can't find the best research to cite right now, but here are a couple sources i found with a quick search.

"lithium-based ESS rated for two hours at rated power will have an AC round-trip efficiency of 75 to 85%."
https://www.windpowerengineering.com/how-three-battery-types...

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S03062...
"Conversion round-trip efficiency is in the range of 70–80%"

This one says 90-95%
https://researchinterfaces.com/lithium-ion-batteries-grid-en...

I've heard that Li-ion installations can get up to 90-95% round trip, which is fantastic, and better than PHS for sure. But it's not the most important detail in the equation. Here's why:

One thing to remember is that power is lost all over the system in conversion and transmission. So raw efficiency can be less important than getting the right capacity to the right place on the grid. And that brings us to cost.

Even though PHS is a little less efficient than Li-ion, 85% for PHS is still really good. (see other my other comment below about 70% vs 85%) And the math shows that investing in PHS is simply cheaper -- even after assuming that Li-ion will drop in price by 3x in the coming decades. This is partly because Li-ion has a much shorter life span and needs to be replaced about every decade.

Li-ion is still great and super important! But it's not looking like the best contender right now for grid-scale storage.

Retiring is about finally doing something purely out of personal interest, rather than for enough profit to pay your bills.

Sitting on a beach forever is okay, if you like that sort of thing. It's also okay to write a novel that no one will ever read, or to crash remote controlled helicopters and then repair them. It's also okay to plant a hummingbird, butterfly, and honeybee garden, and buy a big macro lens. Or maybe ride a motorcycle all over the continent. Or move to Florida and do Florida things. Or move to Wyoming and manage a herd of 15 cattle on a plot that the real ranchers call "Flyspeck Ranch". Or open an ice cream shop that turns a profit only 20 days per year.

Retirement is as varied as the people who are no longer bound to conform to a work standard.
It's not impossible for fossil accidents to be that bad; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberfan_disaster / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buncefield_fire are the ones from the UK I remember, but the biggest may be the huge poisioning of the Bhopal disaster which is technically more the chemical industry's fault.

But the big shadow behind nuclear is weapons proliferation. From the 60s onwards nuclear bombs brought the possibility that there might be a civilisation-destroying nuclear exchange, and as the discourse around Iran has shown it's quite difficult for bystanders to distinguish between the two.

LinkedIn is really really clear that:

- You're not allowed to use information on LinkedIn for commercial purposes without their permission

- Other users can view your personal data

So, why would I expect random third party companies to be able to scrape and sell my personal information?
