Thank you the links. I will read them in more detail, but at first glance, they don't address what I am asking.

If you look at an EV versus ICE car in isolation, the EV is definitely greener. However, if we look at the whole system and process of electric energy production, gas production, battery production and disposal, etc., I have not seen analyses that compare which is actually greener. I would love to be pointed to this, as I have tried to find it! As far as I can tell from my searching, they are essentially overall the same, except that the effects are spread around in time and place.

Now, I can assume that there is a tacit argument that putting more electric vehicles on the road increases the demand for clean energy because electric vehicles tax electricity production heavier, which is not that green now. However, are electric cars really the primary driving factor for clean electricity production? Actual clean energy production is obviously extremely important.

Also, I don't understand how continually building more and more cars gets us to a cleaner future. I imagine whenever self-driving cars arrive, we'll all just be sitting in packed streets. That doesn't feel necessarily cleaner or futuristic.
> I think India should rather reflect on China's industrial strategy, including investments in infrastructure and fostering the development of national giants when India is lacking on both fronts.

I think it's much easier to make massive investments in infrastructure when you have a current account surplus. The Indian government is trying to push the industry to be more export focused but years of protectionism and import-substitution norms have made the industry less competitive.
I'd research that claim before putting too much into monetizing a product like this. There are a veritable boatload of CMS tools available these days, most of which are free. You pay more for making it easy for non-tech folk to use, but at some point the market drives people to hire a webmaster, not pay license fees for a tool.

I've told the story before, but we did a CMS very similar to this back in 1999/2000, and was able to charge 5-6 figures to Fortune 500 companies for a license. But that market crashed. CMS is just a specific flavor of CRUD apps, and most web devs can make one, so they just don't have the same price point as they used to.

That doesn't invalidate the work put into this CMS. I like what I can see of it. It looks like a good piece of work. But most CMS successes these days do give away the core tool for free, then make money on plugins, hosting, and services.
I agree. And it's such an easy target. Everybody hate schools.
But the fact of the matter is that public schools were one of the prominent factors in reducing poverty around the world.
As in any institution, it may calcify and be corrupted. But that's just how systems are, injecting the right amount of innovation usually takes care of that. No need to throw the baby with the water, and rethink the whole paradigm. I think that usually the commodditization of social services is what actually kills these systems. They become a race to the bottom, where marketing gets to be more important than substance and genuine interest in quality.

It's all about the middle path...

My collage had similar restrictions for many website and torrents.
I tried something similar by renting a server and then trying to download torrent in it but obviously got instantly blocked from Service provider.

Somehow 1-2 months later I got a request from my college's computer center to make some changes in the college intranet landing page.
Then I became good friends with them. and later I got an account from them, where everything was open.
I was a good time ;)

Hmm but doing that in a 7 person startup, and then repeating the offense, and then failing to come clean !! seriously man..

More as background to ADI's acquisition of Linear Tech, but often these acquisitions come down to one chipmaker's desire to offer a full system. Take for instance Analog Devices' RF converters: https://www.analog.com/en/applications/technology/rf-convert...

These chips cost hundreds or thousands of dollars and are meant for base stations. Analog Devices wants to get a contract with Nokia or anyone else and then also be able to sell the LDOs, PLLs, and clock devices that go along with it (https://www.analog.com/en/products/AD9213.html#product-tools). Linear Tech was the leader in power and the name is still used for new power products under the "Power by Linear" name with ADI. Hittite offers a number of RF chips. If you're paying $1k for a data converter, what's an extra $50 for all the analog/RF support circuitry? They may even throw it in for free. If you have a complex system with analog/RF/digital circuitry, offering a full reference design with other parts from your own catalog is a great way to ensure that those parts are used.

As a hobbyist, this sucks so much. With PCB manufacturing reliable enough for high speed signalling being affordable and hackerspaces with soldering ovens in every major cities (and there was some startup - in NYC I believe - that you could give Eagle files and a product order list and they would buy you the components at Digikey and manufacture the board for you... anyone remember their name?!), it really really sucks that all the interesting stuff is hidden beyond such obscure walls.

Selling yourself can be hard, but I have to say in my time of browsing HN I’ve never seen a male engineer complain about being completely ignored in their job in the way the commenter describes. Overlooked in interviews due to ageism, yes, but once they get in I don’t have the impression it would take a middle-aged man with an IQ of 155 YEARS to get out of ‘invisibility mode’ (and would his attractiveness come into it at all? Probably not, if most of his coworkers are also male). If anyone wants to share their experience here to prove I’m wrong, please do!

I think this is nonsense. I'm like a 2/10 looks wise on a good day. No amount of effort is getting that number anywhere close to what people find acceptable.

This is echoed by Wendell Berry's The Unsettling of America, published in 1977:

"The disease of the modern character is specialization. Looked at from the standpoint of the social system, the aim of specialization may seem desirable enough. The aim is to see that the responsibilities of government, law, medicine, engineering, agriculture, education, etc., are given into the hands of the most skilled, best prepared people. The difficulties do not appear until we look at specialization from the opposite standpoint—that of individual persons. We then begin to see the grotesquery—indeed, the impossibility—of an idea of community wholeness that divorces itself from any idea of personal wholeness.

The first, and best known, hazard of the specialist system is that it produces specialists—people who are elaborately and expensively trained to do one thing. We get into absurdity very quickly here. There are, for instance, educators who have nothing to teach, communicators who have nothing to say, medical doctors skilled at expensive cures for diseases that they have no skill, and no interest, in preventing. More common, and more damaging, are the inventors, manufacturers, and salesmen of devices who have no concern for the possible effects of those devices. Specialization is thus seen to be a way of institutionalizing, justifying, and paying highly for a calamitous disintegration and scattering-out of the various functions of character: workmanship, care, conscience, responsibility.

Even worse, a system of specialization requires the abdication to specialists of various competences and responsibilities that were once personal and universal. Thus, the average—one is tempted to say, the ideal—American citizen now consigns the problem of food production to agriculturists and “agribusinessmen,” the problems of health to doctors and sanitation experts, the problems of education to school teachers and educators, the problems of conservation to conservationists, and so on. This supposedly fortunate citizen is therefore left with only two concerns: making money and entertaining himself. He earns money, typically, as a specialist, working an eight-hour day at a job for the quality or consequences of which somebody else—or, perhaps more typically, nobody else—will be responsible. And not surprisingly, since he can do so little else for himself, he is even unable to entertain himself, for there exists an enormous industry of exorbitantly expensive specialists whose purpose is to entertain him."

> a full set of straight, white teeth;

Funny thing is in some Asian countries having a certain form of "crooked" teeth is often seen as more attractive (in woman).

Similarly having body volume (e.g. slightly overweight) is often seen as attractive (in man). (As it convoys wealth, only wealthy people can afford to eat that much.)

Honestly most, not the large majority of people is not ugly and can have reasonable good looks if they do carry them self properly and war clean clothes, hair, etc. Sure much more can be done using makeup or similar but that costs time and money every day and is normally not necessary.

Sure people which look rally good still do have some benefit. I just mean that for many people the problem is not inborn bad looks but how they carry them self IMHO. But then beauty is very subjective so I wouldn't be surprised if many people thing differently.

I know this is a clever jest, but this reminds me of Elliot Rodgers' manifesto "My Twisted World" for some reason (probably because real-life narcissists actually think like this):

One thing I've dabbled with[1] is using pfSense to set up a VM with a management 'interface' that only routes to my local network and drops any packets not on the web UI port[2], and an Internet 'interface' that pfSense routes over a VPN (I can't remember if I ended up actually using two separate interfaces, or a set of firewall rules to allow the LAN traffic access). AFAICT, it seemed to work reasonably for the brief period I used it - the VM could only see the pfSense gateway, and all of the Internet traffic from the VM went over the VPN, whilst the traffic from the rest of my network was unaffected, but I could access a few services locally on a 10.x.x.x IP (different subnet to my main network).

Dark web marketplaces are not exactly "a system where nobody trusts anyone". They are pseudonymous, as opposed to completely anonymous, and sellers absolutely build reputation and some degree of trust. Otherwise nothing would work - the problems you point out would prevent any business at all. It's theoretically possible for a hitman to build reputation in such an environment. However, it would have to be comparatively slow and high-stakes, which I suspect is the main problem and tips the scale towards scamming.
> And then you have the 'raw labour' - you still need factories with workers making very little, treated like crap.

> The bottom 10% of Americans will not do that. For what it's worth.

OR you need to find other ways to bolster margins without skimping on labor costs at the bottom end. Intelligent cuts to C-Suite pay and golden parachutes could easy pay for thousands of workers at a living wage at the bottom of any company.

The top 10% of Americans will not do that. For what it's worth.

>In reality, just about every DeFi platform is not trustless nor are the usecases possible in a trustless way

While this is true in these early days where developers need the ability to upgrade contracts and quickly fix bugs it is not the long term state of these projects and all of the major ones have defined paths to full decentralization. It's important to note that even today all of these services are non-custodial which is already a huge step up from the status quo. The amount of centralization is also variable with some projects able to upgrade certain portions of their systems but not all of it and other projects simply having an emergency kill switch they can use in case of a critical bug but can't actually change the contract.

It's definitely not perfect right now but it's already better than traditional systems with things becoming more trustless over time. Eventually these services will be as fixed as Uniswap/Balancer/etc as things get more stable.

Speaking of not carrying the full boat of 500, [0] is a good explanation of some of the mechanics behind why you might want to do that, and what difficulties it introduces (warning: auto-playing video).

If you choose not to own all 500, that is going to introduce some tracking error. A casual search turned up [1], which, although old, has some interesting numbers on the tracking error, expense ratio, and alpha [2] of several funds. I found it interesting that some funds actually generated a small amount of alpha. I bet over time the mean alpha for a sampled-index strategy is 0 though, just by the law of large numbers.

[2]: Alpha, intuitively speaking, is basically the amount of excess return over and above what you'd get if you theoretically just owned the whole index with 0 transaction fees. Pretty much, it encapsulates "how much did this strategy beat the market by." Predictably, alpha values for these funds are small and close to zero. Most are negative, meaning you're going to lag the market. Unless you have enough money to use a direct indexing strategy, you basically have to live with that.

So you used Cygwin to do the work why? Is it because it was actually easier to make progress when it came to actual work (not just needing to use the corporate tools to communicate with coworkers or track your time)? From the sounds of it, Windows actually hindered you so you tried to find a way to use Linux tools so that you could make the most positive impact. That is exactly what I'm saying.. why make concessions and limit yourself.

Yes, these applications do exist. The speedups mainly come from the more flexible instruction set that AVX-512 provides (so in many cases you can replace several instructions with just one), plus the increased register set (32 architectural SIMD registers versus 16 on previous generations).

If your algorithm isn't sensitive to either one of these, then yes, the speedups are often smaller, particularly if the limiting factor in performance is memory bandwidth and/or latency (AVX-512 doesn't help at all there), or if the speedups aren't enough to overcome clock throttling (which IMO is a bit overblown; most people cite the Cloudflare blog article from a few years ago that complained about throttling on Xeon Silver processors, but throttling is much less of an issue on higher-TDP Gold/Platinum CPUs). However, I have seen specific applications that are >100% faster with AVX-512.

Bitcoin is more like an environmentalist's worst nightmare.
I have to disagree.

Coding can be quite satisfying. I make something, I can see it working, I know I contributed something useful. In management roles, both contributions and feedback are much more indirect. Often it's not clear whether the work is useful and what the work even is. If something is not right, as an engineer I can just fix it, while as a manager I need to convince other people to fix it for me.

Also, managers generally stand between teams. While as an engineer in a team, interactions are generally positive if the team is working towards a shared goal. Managers on the other hand typically liaise between groups that have conflicting goals.
This came to mind for me too. It's the only example I can think of in popular culture or otherwise where the issue has been tackled so directly.

> that you can't carry the internet over ham radio is one of the main reasons for its lack of popularity

This isn't exactly true; misleading at best. Internet via ham radio isn't really that much "fun" whilst the scope of amateur radio is incredibly broad. You can buy COTS 802.11 networking gear, update their firmware to operate on ham radio channels, and transport TCP/IP at 1500 watts of power all day long (sans encryption), but part 15 devices perform this service admirably. In fact, it's a part of the amateur service to not use amateur spectrum if the communication can be reasonably furnished with another service.

A majority of ham radio happens at VHF and below, where data transmission speeds are very slow for TCP/IP communication, but fine for voice, other forms of data like ASCII text or digital voice via FSK/BPSK/MFSK/GMSK/QAM etc modulations. At HF, spectrum is very limited and shared, so wide-band modulations are frowned upon or disallowed, but the phenomena of worldwide propagation via ionospheric refraction is the main allure.

There are numerous forms of ham radio internet, like HamWAN, HamNET, BBHN, AREDN, and adhoc mesh systems out there, that transport all kinds of (unencrypted) data useful to the radio amateur, but there are far more Part 15 systems that deliver the Internet and other encrypted information to its users. Allowing encryption on ham radio opens doors to illicit and commercial use of amateur spectrum.

The fact you can't use encryption isn't killing ham radio's popularity, it's that it's practitioners and organizations are having trouble keeping ham radio relevant for the 21st century, and advertising/marketing the hobby to a new generation of prospective hams.
