"The problem is, you cannot have it both ways: either free speech is paramount, because it changes things in the real world, or allspeech is meaningless because it has no effect."

Wonderful little strawman with a dash of false dichotomy. The argument for free speech really derives from constitutional rights not on its effectiveness. Just like your right to life and liberty doesn't derive from how valuable others deem your life/liberty.

> You cannot build a large-scale, significant communications system without moderation ...

More strawman. Nobody is against moderation. I'm against censorship. I'm for sub moderation but also allow users to view the censored content if they choose so. Frankly, I'm more in support of allowing users to moderate more and mods moderating less. Let the community drive the sub rather than mods ruling the sub.

> any more than you can create a large-scale city without sanitation and public health systems, or a global rapid transportation network without commensurate epidemiological detection, management, and controls.

Okay, I'll try to enlighten you a bit. The question is what qualifies as "feces, garbage, disease". Would you be okay with /r/politics being banned? What about lgbt subs? What about atheism subs? What about feminist subs? What about /r/twoxchromosome since that is "transphobic"?

We'll try a categorical imperative. You have the right to ban subs but that right extends to everyone else. Would you support that? I doubt that. I'd bet you'd hypocritically scream "free speech" if the toxic subs you support were banned. How about let everyone enjoy the toxic shit of their choice as long as it is legal?
No, please.

You're looking at an SXM module, so that PCB is the whole thing. TDP is 400 W. I assume these run at a sub-1 V core voltage due to their relatively low clocks, so yeah, you are looking at a core supply current that may well exceed 500 A at full load and has to be provided by those VRMs crammed on that board.

Worth pointing out that that's not really new. Gaming cards have been running at about a Volt for a bunch of years now and all of those chuck 250+ W, so the currents are rather substantial.
I'm wondering why landfills are insufficient? Are the linings not good enough?
This annoys me greatly in commercial movies because often it makes the plot predictable. Most of the things that you see are consequential to the plot, so there are no surprises.
Oh, wow, this is a very stimulating comparison.

My summary is that all of these are structurally the same:

* programs with recursion that either halts or not -- is there a partial order on states of a recursive algorithm such that some state is eventually terminal?

* threads with resource dependencies that either deadlock or not -- is there a partial order on resource acquisition so that eventually some operation is unblocked?

* garbage collection of memory references -- is there a partial order on resource ownership such that some element is eventually unowned?

* Russell's paradox -- presumably something like: is there a partial order on the definitions of some sets such that all of the definitions can be resolved?

* Godel's Incompleteness theorem and Liar's paradox, etc -- presumably something like: is there a partial order on statements that allows their truth values to be resolved?

In every case it seems like the solution is some form of diagonal argument.

I really like the version I just found in this paper[1]: if Y is a set and there's a function a(Y): Y that doesn't have a fixed point, then for any function f(T, T): Y there's a function g(T): Y that can't be written as g(s) = f(s,t) for all t. Namely, set g(t) = a(f(t,t)); clearly f(s,s) = g(s) = a(f(s,s)) != f(s,s).

For the Liar Paradox ("this sentence is false") and Godel ("this statement cannot be proved in G") the set Y is (True/Proven, False/Disproven) and the function a() just takes False <-> True and so has no fixed point. The function f(s, t) tries to assign a truth value to a statement 's' and also to the _claim_ made by 's'. The function g(s) tries to assign a truth value to 's' alone, but for 'this sentence is false' the definition is g(s) = a(f(s,s)), and the definition of f(s,s) = g(s), so g(s) = a(g(s)) and there's no solution -- just like a recursive function that says f(x) = !f(x) never terminates!

The connection to partial orders is: there must be a partial order on the possible states of the system such that there isn't an infinite loop. The states can be the truth values of statements, the input to a function, the states of a Turing machine's tape, the state of the condition a thread is waiting on, or the state of whether an object has been freed. Etc.

Of course I have never really thought through this before and I'm making it up as I go, but this is grand and delightful to sort-of hand-wavingly understand.

I'm working on a pomodoro app. It's called Session. I've been beta testing it for a month to 30 people. Daily active user for the past month is 25% (8 person), so I'm happy with it!

Session focuses on these points: - beautiful design. - analytics: what you worked on and for how long. - introspective: after each session, it'll ask you whether you got distracted. If so, why? - meditative: breathing in and out once at every session.

I have bought the domain; but not yet designed the websire so progresses could be seen on https://www.twitter.com/philipyoungg
Ok, let's brainstorm - how do we build wind turbines without the 150 year history of industrialization, accumulated knowledge of how to build real, physical things that accomplish the goals of 100% renewable energy? I'm all ears. Maybe I'm missing something - always happy to hear solutions to real, extant problems.

Robert Louis Stevenson and His Friends
I've seen highly paid engineers put on projects that had high visibility but had, in my estimation, zero percent chance of actually being deployed due the risk involved. These were often rewrites of huge subsystems to use some "new" technology, when they would've been better off spending their time simply optimizing existing code. I was right in all of these cases. The projects went no where. PRs sat un-merged for years. This was during good times though, so the people did stick around.

A lot of good series have this "open sandbox" format where the context of the show is just a vessel for whatever story the writer wants to tell.

Examples:

* Star Trek Holodeck
* The various worlds in Sliders
* The infinite worlds in Rick and Morty means there are no limits to what can be written in.
* In Community, in a lot of episodes Greendale magically transforms in whatever setting is needed for the story: a court room where the murder of a yam is debated, a western/space battlefield where players duke it out for a grand prize, an entire city made of pillows and blankets, a zombie infested Halloween party etc.

The upside is anything goes, the downside is the perceived lack of consequences (especially in the extreme case of Rick and Morty).
I've built a website to help restaurants out in this time. It's called Expoed. https://expoed.restaurant

The idea is that restaurants offer reservation time slots, reserved parking spots, a menu item named after you, or really anything they want in exchange for money from diners. Ultimately, it provides another source of revenue for restaurants during these tough times.

That's an insanely modern/left view with zero consideration to basically all historically socially accepted conservative views of the past.

It's trendy to support sex workers online in 2020 but in the 2000s I'm pretty sure 95% of white suburbia wouldn't have wanted their daughters hanging out with sex workers.
Wow, really nice looking site, great name too! Good luck with it!
I'm only voicing my concerns.

And I'm doing my best to address those concerns. In a nutshell, I'm saying it's sort of neither here nor there whether we normalize the practice of women getting rich via selling their bodies.

The general narrative goes something like this:

"It's bad for women to make good money off of sex. We should stamp out this practice because it is immoral."

Then I say "But how else can they make good money?" and I get told that's somehow beside the point.

It's not beside the point. It is the point.

If you want to empower women, worry about what is keeping them out of the C Suites of corporations and things like that. Don't worry about sex work. Worry about why trading on their looks or sexuality via sex work or in the course of being entertainers seems to be the only really good way for women to get rich on their own efforts.

Women often turn to sex work because it's the only way they can make adequate money. This is why you see so many single moms working as exotic dancers and the like.

Some of those women would do other things if it wasn't such a huge uphill battle.

That's all I'm trying to say.

There is no reason to include As in PV. There are anti-renewable propaganda screeds that pretend otherwise ("look! GaAs PV cells are a thing, therefore all PV uses As!")

That leaves lead. Lead has been used for connections, but it is being phased out, not least because of EU environmental regulations. The PV cells themselves do not need lead.

I suspect you are just repeating anti-renewable lies here.

When solving linear systems of equations (which arise pretty much everywhere) Krylov subspace methods are usually quite effective because the Krylov subspace is orthonormal.

If your floating-point precision isn't high enough, you'll end up instead with a "subspace" that isn't spanned by orthogonal vectors, and the consequences of this are pretty drastic (requiring n-times the number of iterations to solve the system, you'll never find a solution, etc.). These all happen even if your system of equations has a good condition number, you just need to make the precision low enough.

This is why most people use double precision, and some people use quad precision. For many systems, e.g., if you are using CG as your solver, quad precision can cut the number of iterations by a large factor (2x-4x). These problems are still bandwidth bound, and using quad precision duplicates your memory bandwidth requirements, but if it reduces the number of iterations by 4x, you just halved your time to solution.

Just as their opponents use their own confirmation bias to "prove" them wrong.

Politics in the UK and US and is clearly far more polarised and far more extremist in tone - especially on the right - than was the case ten years ago.

The Brexit nationalist nonsense in the UK was almost unthinkable in 2010. It was literally considered fringe lunacy. A senior politician on the right literally called the people in favour of it "swivel-eyed loons."

Now it's mainstream policy, with huge popular support - balanced against a slightly larger segment of the population who still consider it self-harming folly.

That's your instability right there. You can Google any number of people on both sides saying that they cannot remember a time when the country was this polarised, and an utter absence of anyone saying the opposite.

This is not normal. If you want to claim it is, prove it.

Your freezer can't if it's not a ammonia refrigerant. You will actually be wasting energy.

Your fridge actually does not use electricity constantly. It detects the temperature and run the motor, stops it when it reaches the desired temp. It's already having a break.

> residential wind turbines

Wind has a scalability problem. Residentially, it's only a good sell as a backup supply for when solar isn't cutting it to hopefully prevent generator use. And even that's a tough economic argument.

Towers have huge economies of scale, both in total size and height. So the turbines just keep getting bigger and bigger because it's more and more cost effective.
Funny how things evolve over time. When I was (2014-2016) VP/CTO at vCloud Air, the cloud division of VMware, I spearheaded the partnership between VMware and GCP/Google (which of course took a much larger team to be brought to life), certain that it was the only viable and meaningful partnership for VMware at the time.

When I left in early 2016, soon thereafter VMware ditched that partnership in favor of... IBM. No comment.

And now it's 2020, IBM is far behind everyone else in the cloud, and VMware and Google are cranking along just fine. This partnership makes a ton of sense for both of them. AWS is eventually going to lose its "monopoly" over cloud (disclaimer: I was at AWS 2008-2014).

It gives me a good feeling. Especially for the very talented engineers that I met on both sides. Sometimes they have to put up with a ton of red tape and politics. At least this will make some of them smile.

Coming from Clojurescript and using libraries like Re-Frame it feels much more natural to me to have a central store for most state. Sure I also use component state but I leave that for very simple cases. It seems like Context could also provide something like this but I'm not sure how it handles re-renders. If one part of my Context state is modified, do all Consumers re-render? Or just the ones that would be affected?
Because there is a market there, actual money to be made, that would be a lot more realistic for companies like Cruise and Waymo to solve than some pie in the sky self driving car. They could have been working towards a public transportation system that doesn't require millions of dollars in capital construction costs to put in place first. But that's not as sexy I guess.
> For example, it isn't a coincidence that the success of free markets occurred at the same time as when slavery collapsed worldwide.
