"Wind/solar are intermittent and there's no way around that (battery storage isn't nearly mature enough)"

One way 'around that' is to use gravity storage -- of which dozens of examples already exist around the world. China has at least 21 pumped-hydro facilities (19GW capacity [0], working on 30GW more [1]) and Britain's been using one for 'tea-time' demands for decades.

'Waiting for batteries' is decisively not a useful argument. They're very far from the most economical and environmentally-friendly storage.

"Just Eat Takeaway was created this year through the $7.8 billion combination of two of the earliest participants in Europe’s food-delivery market, Just Eat and Takeaway.com. It has been fighting competition in Europe from Uber Eats and Deliveroo, a London-based company whose investors include Amazon.

Mr. Groen, a Dutch entrepreneur, founded Takeaway.com in 2000 when he was a student frustrated with the challenge of ordering pizza online. He took Takeaway.com public in 2016, and now has a net worth of more than $1.5 billion, according to Forbes.

In addition to the deals for Grubhub and Just Eat, Mr. Groen bought the German portion of Delivery Hero’s business for about $1 billion in 2018."

They've been aggressively acquiring competitors for years, so this seems par for the course.

This is why I downvoted your comment.
They've had plenty of opportunities to do the right thing and they actively worked against it. In the last year people were so upset about Rekognition that they organized a shareholder proposal (it was defeated)[0]

While it's good that they are doing the moratorium, I think it's hardly applause worthy for them to have needed this much backlash to act.

Also, I'm not impressed by the argument that other people might offer face recognition. This is about Amazon's actions.

>It constantly looks like the country is merely printing more money to stay afloat.

That's basically what's been happening since 2008. The main lesson the Economics profession learned from the Great Depression is that it's better to prevent a full-on depression by any means available than to let it occur and rebuild afterwards. Rebuilding after that level of economic destruction is long and arduous, better to preserve what you have. That's what the 2008 GFC would have caused (or worse) if not for extensive US govt and Fed preventative measures.

The modern means of doing that is for the government to deficit spend and for the central bank to pump the financial system full of cheap or free credit. Problem now is, nobody sees a way of unwinding the deficits and cheap credit without causing the depression they were trying to prevent.

Neither political party has the political will to balance the budget and be the cause of the resulting economic pain. Republicans convince themselves we can outgrow the deficits by cutting taxes, and Dems convince themselves that Modern Monetary Theory will spur growth and limit inflation enough to outgrow the deficits. The Fed tried early in the Trump admin to raise rates back to normality, and the market started crashing again, so they stopped. We're stuck.

It's the most consequential economic experiment since the US left gold standard, and nobody knows how it will turn out. Imho our best hope is for a gradual devaluation of the Dollar and a soft landing, avoiding a major shock. But under precarious circumstances like these, unpredictable shocks are a distinct, if not likely, possibility.

How fast are you looking for? You can think about it as a speed being inversely proportional to probability of success.
Seconded. I was left scratching my head for a long time trying to work out why php-fpm, when reloaded via systemctl on CentOS 7, was not setting-up /var/run/php-fpm.sock with the correct ownership. I eventually had to write a shell script to resolve the issue. The version of php-fpm in question, by the way, was a more up-to-date version than the CentOS 7 default. Anyway, that's just one example of how mdoern PHP deployments differ from the over-hyped static deploys of yesteryear where you just FTP a bunch of .php files into your DocumentRoot.

So it's an all stock deal and it seems Grubhub purchase will be greater than the market cap of Just Eat Takeway. How does that work? What about control of the board?

Also seems strange that a $500mm revenue company is acquiring a $1.6bb company. All the financials for just eats are terrible. I am so confused on this acquisition and why shareholders approved.
By this logic, what speed DOESN'T justify a police officer stopping a driver? Under is somehow suspicious according to your thinking, over is obviously illegal, and who can travel at precisely the speed limit all the time so they never go over or under?
This is terrible. More black people are struck by lightning, than earn a CS Phd?

"over the last 30 years (1989-2018) the U.S. has averaged 43 reported lightning fatalities per year. Only about 10% of people who are struck by lightning are killed, leaving 90% with various degrees of disability"

https://www.weather.gov/safety/lightning-odds

13.2% of the US population is black.
https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/US/IPE120218

So expected is about 6 black people killed by lighting, and 60 struck/year vs 13 who graduate with CS Phd if these stats are correct.

This is plain physics, no? Things are darker or lighter depending on the amount of light they reflect.

There are far too many things at play here. In a fair and just society, this kind of issue (like the XBOX Kinetic issue) would be met with a "oops, forgot to account for individual light absorption variance". A fix would have been issue and that's that.

Now, the problem starts when you begin digging. Why was this problem not caught? Because QA teams didn't catch it. Why didn't they catch it? Because the team wasn't very diverse, so testing failed to catch the problem? Why wasn't the team diverse enough? ... and now I've entered a societal rabbit hole that's far too complex for this post.

> I have a hard time believing that anyone at any level of the AWS structure set out to produce a racist facial recognition

Yes, highly doubtful. No benefit, and major issues if caught. It is far more likely that the dataset itself was biased. Why was it biased? ... and there we go again.

> we should sometimes temper the often strong reaction produced when labeling something racist, and focus our efforts on identifying and solving the issue rather than trying to act punitive.

Agreed, in principle. In practice, this produces no results in a mostly racist society. Companies (and politicians) will listen to outrage, they won't listen to well articulated and well-reasoned comments.

But I think having a designated social good person on the board would encourage the other members to stop thinking about social good on their own, in the same way that hiring a CFO means the CEO stops thinking so much about finances.

Remember that modern societies allow their governments (nearly) exclusive use of firearms and jails, and yet those societies did not turn into a dystopian hellhole. Because laws, courts, checks and balances, all that stuff.

Sure, but you need a handful of units to evaluate them properly. Availability of units is a huge concern and (imo) the largest barrier to boader adoption of non-x86 servers; ie, no sane person would hedge their operations on a single server vendor that can't reliably supply compatible units when needed. At least, not willingly.

But really, the economics are all in operations and scale.

Some people may complain that they can’t get delivery 10 miles away from a restaurant.. but they aren’t willing to tip or pay higher for the back and forth a driver must do to earn more than it costs to pay them. Cutting to 5 or even 3 miles for delivery ranges makes a big difference for orders per hour.

Curious, did you background check every employee/contractor to make sure they are Chinese race free?

Did you do every byte of your network traffic audit to make sure they are not Chinese IP routable? How often do you update your firewall rules?

Because if you don't do either of these, if you run a successful company, someone will write an article to complain you have employed a Chinese developer and routed traffic to China.

That is very cool, and that was done during the Ghosn pump/dump era no less; as a long time Nissan enthusiast, which then turned being a technician for Nissan for a period I knew Nissan was involved in tons of new tech: Radar based Cruise control was available back in 2002, CVT transmissions, they were one of the first to adopt throttle by wire, and if you've even been in a GTR its more video game than it was car, especially when it first came out.

So these battery's being up-cycled is not so much a surprise, either.

I only recently, like a year ago or so, found out they had Aerospace division since 1953 and even had a facility in Mountain View.

To think this the same company that was insolvent in the crash of the Japanese Bubble era of the 90s, they really did try to expand into to so many sectors, much like Yamaha, but didn't really get the same notoriety because of it. In fact most non car people, especially in Japan, will recall their real estate holdings collapse alongside the Nikkei index, which was really their core business.

It's dark days for Nissan right now, and as a die-hard Nissan fan boy I hope they separate from Renault and make it out of this as their transition to a more EV lineup manufacturer is looking promising, as does their I2V technology but it shows how first-mover advantage can be destroyed from within by short-sighted crooks like Carlos Ghosn (that is a wanted fugitive in Japan after fleeing in some crazy movie-like scenario with ex green berets [1]) and the complicate delivery systems and dealerships that created horrible incentives.

Personally, I find it a bit frustrating that a large portion of people refer to the 'Politicians' as a single group. Sure some politicians are corrupt, but you shouldn't simply call all politicians corrupt. I'm sure some, at least, are somewhat good.

The problem I find with arguments such as yours is that you're looking at the few exceptions to the norm and not the trend of policing in America. Yes, there are likely a few good police organizations just like there are likely a few good cops or a few good politicians. But the point is that when the institution as a greater whole is corrupt, then it calls into question even the few good people that remain complicit in its existence. You should be demanding answers from even the good apples and making sure they stay good, not give them a pass because they haven't gone bad yet.
My point is that socioeconomic differences resulting in different outcomes would be accepted as evidence of differences of opportunity. Because there's ample evidence of opportunities being different when growing up with fewer resources and more stresses.

There's also ample evidence of racial discrimination resulting in differences of opportunity, in all fields of science. But people are quick to assume that it doesn't exist, or are quick to point out any chance that it may even exist.
