Remote work is great and all... because that's our only option.

In the long term, I suspect there may be a greater inclination towards remote work, not as much as this report suggests, but overall work at office is here to stay.

I need to go outside and have a physical seperation between work and home.
Search for Dr den Boer on YouTube. In one of his videos he says: I am no ofthalmologist and a patient that was loosing sight came in and TL;DR his sight came back after 6 months of treatment. Of course I cannot make promises but with loosing sight I would certainly visit him.

I'm pro remote work, but it's questionable as to why GitLab pushes their remote work ideas so much? Is it to become some sort of remote work consultant? Is it an angle of marketing?
> Death does not make life precious.

Yes it does. Especially if you're the one living it.

Even if it's a lifeless object - the rareness of something easily makes it more valuable. For instance, diamonds would be worthless if DeBeers didn't artificially constrict the supply.

> ...with more time, we get to do and experience more things. Thus, the value of life increases as it lengthens.

You're confusing quantity with quality. As if a human with 80 years of being catatonic would be more valuable than someone who lived, loved and adventured for only 40 years.

Ok, finally seems like the right place to share my pitch for a Silicon Valley spin-off:

Gavin Belsom, and a bunch of other billionaires, flee to New Zealand only to find it’s crowded with all of the people they know (and despise). So now they’re stuck with each other.

It’s like Galt’s Gulch from Atlas Shrugged meets Gilligan’s Island.

First episode ends with someone coughing, cuts to Belsom’s distraught face, obscure hip-hop track plays.
Over the long run I think it's fair to say nobody knows. What happens with an uncontained epidemic ?

>Here's an article: "Cloth masks – dangerous to your health?"

Jesus, how do people get away with articles and studies like this. The control they used was:

>‘standard practice’, which comprised mask use in a high proportion of participants.

So ultimately they're comparing cloth masks to surgical masks and, no shit, surgical masks are better. How they draw the conclusion that cloth masks are dangerous is beyond me.
And what would that argument be?

there are a couple problems with this.

if the CEO is also a major shareholder (maybe they're also the founder), they don't actually need salary or bonuses to make huge amounts of money from the business.

this can also create a perverse incentive for the salary structure. the CEO's pay is maximized by maximizing the lowest salary in the company. the easiest way of doing this is to pay everyone 1/10th of the CEO's pay. depending on the size of the company and the existing pay disparity, this could make most of the employees worse off than they were before. it might be better to target median or mean compensation instead, although you could probably find pathological counterexamples for these approaches too.

I used an STK2M364CC. CPU usage never seems to go above 50%. Control is still a pain, but one way to change effects on the fly is to use rtpMIDI and TouchDAW on a phone.
Yeah same. The content on there is a mixed bag, they occasionally have stuff worth reading but there's also a lot of junk. Incognito mode doesn't seem to work for me anymore if I do feel the urge to see what it says. I guess if I delete my cookies it would work but then it's just too much of a hassle.

Wow, $6 a gallon for ethanol free? Here ethanol free is around 30c more than regular E10.
Good to see progress in large-scale energy sources. As always we ideally would like to know current and prospective costs per MWh of storage, per MW of capacity, round-trip efficiency, raw material mass flows and recyclability, and space requirements to fully judge. I understand that these metrics are not always reliably available in new issue tech. We should make a worksheet or something to help navigate these complex issues.

At least more people are talking about hydrogen as an energy carrier these days as opposed to a raw energy source, which was a huge misconception in the hydrogen excitement bubble of ~2005.

And a nitpick: headline should be about storing intermittent energy, not renewable energy. I personally hate the term renewable because not all renewable energy is low-carbon (e.g. most biofuels) and not everything that's sustainable for hundreds of millions of years is considered renewable (e.g. nuclear with breeder reactors or seawater uranium extraction).

It's better than that! Used steel barrels go for around $29 a piece. All you need to do is buy oil, dump it out somewhere, and then sell the barrel for $17 profit!
Nature has figured it out. (I.e.: the simplest way of storing oil is to not extract it.)
There are a small number of people pushing that, but where is the adoption, and is the web at large really inaccesible without it? One example, I see a lot of websites offering to send me push notifications, and I always click no. A browser could not implement that feature and I would not notice, in fact it would be an improvement in experience.

I like how mushrooms taste, but my sister doesn't. Her husband even insisted that we don't serve any mushrooms at their wedding.

(Granted, it's been years since I last ate magic mushrooms. I loved the way they tasted, but I don't think it's fair for someone who doesn't like they way they taste to have to gag them down just for a trip. I can still remember how they tasted, and the wonderful visions I had.)

Mushrooms also don't store well.

Extracting psilocybin so it can be served in a more palatable and easily stored form is a good thing.
Is this US-specific or does it also work in other countries? I scanned the landing page, could not find an answer to this question.
Oil tankers are being used for storage:

Maybe we can store it in large underground caverns (or maybe porous basins) and then pump it up to the surface only when we need it. We would probably want to coordinate with other people also doing pumping in their region, as not to end up with too much on the surface that we can’t use and then have nowhere to put it.
Concerns with that Stanford antibody study of coronavirus prevalence
I see now. I stand corrected.
Yep, there are different grades of crude (referred to as light vs heavy and sweet vs sour). Alberta tar sands crude is in the heavy/sour range.

The differences in the grades of oil require different tooling to process and may be more or less expensive to process.

West Texas fracking crude by contrast is light and sweet.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweet_crude_oil?wprov=sfti1

As to why people don’t store it.. well, we (as a nation, and also the oil industry) try to but it’s only possible to store limited amounts of liquids (notoriously because liquids are incompressible), especially when you’re talking about thousands to millions of barrels per day.

Estimates are that oil demand has dropped by 30% globally, the OPEC+ meeting last week showed us a ~10% global cut by Saudi Arabia/Russia/US... which still leaves a meaty 20% surplus.

A lot of the recent contention has been around when all the (strategic) reserve tanks will fill up and cause the price to really plummet... which we’re seeing now.

Renewables Poised to Clean Up from Oil’s Price Spill
Well assuming you looked it up, clicked on the first Google result, and read

Fourteen Words, 14, or 14/88, is a reference to the fourteen-word slogan
"We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children,
"[1] or the less commonly used "Because the beauty of the White Aryan woman
must not perish from the earth."[2] The slogans were originally coined by white
supremacist David Lane,[3] a founding member of the terrorist organization The
Order[4] and serve as a rallying cry for militant white nationalists across the globe."

... how are you still struggling?
Neither. This is based on seeing a large number of companies, who are seamlessly capable of working and delivering products remotely (e.g. SaaS) moving to salary reductions, furloughs, and layoffs.

That's anecdotal data among companies and colleagues I interact with, but there's enough of it that it's compelling to me.

If you lived in North Korea, and in six months, you had a few friends die of COVID, while the government told you things were under control, you'd have no data or statistics, but you'd know there's something up.

That said, we do have data, but not broken out in that way. Best we have for data are unemployment claims.

And not all of the behavior is rational. Investing during downturns is much cheaper than during upturns. A year ago, top ML people cost north of a megabuck a year. Inflation reduces labor costs further. Companies who up investment now are likely to come out of the crisis stronger than ones who cut back, assuming money is available (either as loans or savings). But it seems to be a reality.
See, this is why we need a good EPA in the US and similarly good in other countries. To protect against capitalists like you who don't care about externalities. ;) Now go make a financial derivative so I can trade on used steel barrels.

I think that the problem with this as a steering wheel for discussion is that sometimes what you just said is extremely accurate but also sometimes both happen at the same time, for and against some figure by their defenders vs their offendees, and also often the sentence is part of a long pattern of behavior that has implication tendrils. No sentence exists in a vacuum, but different people have differing desires to reach further in different moments, some based on whether they like the person's face, but also occasionally by guiding principle.

IMHO "emulating" the (fairly small) subset of the traditional Win32 and DirectX APIs required for typical games might even make sense on Windows itself, should Microsoft one day decide to deprecate Win32 in favour of something more "modern" (heavy air-quotes).

The window creation and input event handling of Win32, together with D3D9 and D3D11 (the really popular versions of D3D), and whatever is the current audio API on Windows (this seems to be the least stable area) have proven to be quite fantastic for games, maybe the best set of low-level APIs needed by games outside of actual gaming console.

Porting those APIs to other platforms, instead of porting the games doesn't seem such a bad idea at all in hindsight.

3box makes OrbitDB really easy to have a persistent easy to use!

If you try to go with just OrbitDb you will have to handle manage the ipfs nodes and pin data so it stays persistent and loads faster but also handle the permissions too.

But with 3Box makes it easier to do all of the permissions and loading all data faster + always persistent and/or public or private data, and you know what's amazing? the way you can store data? for example if you want to build a chat app you can use Messaging (Threads) to make quickly a chat app!

It's also worth mentioning that some of the Qwerty pain can be psychosomatic in origin.

Once I knew how nice it can feel to type on a keyboard, anything less nice starts mentally hurting – and I'm sure, for some people, also physically.
I wonder if there's an age component. I read that same book and I remember (maybe erroneously) that the artists who worked best in the morning were older, whereas the artists who worked better at night were younger and oftentimes addicted to stimulants.

Pro-tip, if you're driving very, very little look up an ethanol-free gas station on pure-gas.org and fill up there when your tank is nearly empty. It'll cost more but you don't want ethanol sitting in your gas tank, fuel filter, and engine for months. An alternative is fuel stabilizer but make sure you do your math correctly and don't add to much or or too little.
