I'm not sure line-interactive UPSs will guarantee a change in behavior in and of themselves since they are still stand-by UPS's but instead of cutting over to battery when in an over or under-voltage situation they attempt to correct it first.

For critical loads where I don't want interruption I prefer online or double-conversion UPS's. Basically they have two inverters instead of one. The load runs off of battery constantly on the first inverter, and the second continuously charges the batteries. There is no cut over time when there is mains power interruption since the loads run from batteries.

But I hadn't considered this dead battery scenario so that's another thing to add to the checklist of things to ask about. It seems that there should be a bypass mode if there is mains power to supply power to the load too all the time.

I've found UPS's to be a mixed blessing - when the power does glitch they can save your bacon but the battery maintenance issue can cause their own outages. If I lived in Florida with their legendary lightning I'd just put up with it but I used to have UPSs on everything and these days I have really dropped down where I have them since we get maybe an outage a year and glitches are equally infrequent too.
I wanted to speak to Google Support first and figure it out and make sure I wasn't misunderstanding the charge, but alas I could not contact support without a billing account active, so yes will be contacting my CC company.
In other words, women joining the workforce enhances per capita income.

Absolutely, that's one of many reasons why it is a terrific trend that should be celebrated.

My point was that there's every reason to believe an expanding work force in a static population would not grow average wages at the same rate as per capita GDP, which was the comparison made by OP.

EDIT: A simple example to make this clearer:

A city has 50,000 men and 50,000 women. Men are forbidden to work, and the women make an average of $50,000 each while producing an average of $80,000 worth of stuff, the surplus being retained by the greedy capitalists. Average wages are $50k, per capita GDP is $40k.

The law against male employment is lifted, and the men jump immediately to equal the women. Given how much surplus the average worker is producing, there's no trouble giving them all jobs. Average wages "stagnate" at $50k, but per capita GDP is now $80k: The economy has doubled in size!

/u/mediaman is right that in an economy that's suddenly 2X bigger, it would be shocking if the demand of all those newly paid men and newly even-more-wealthy capitalists didn't push wages up. But even without that happening, it's not clear that anything has gone horribly wrong: The women are still working for wages they considered fair, and men now are also able to choose how to put their labor to the use they consider the most rewarding.
Seems like longest chess game is about less than 300 turns, there are 64 cells, and even if you don't know chess, and even without efficiently coded there are max of 128bits per turn (a lot of them not valid, and probably space that can be explored better) - e.g. it feels like not only the current position, but the history can be recorded in small amount of data in an URL.
And there is zero support to help you fix the problem.
I'm not sure sure this is right.

First, the "outdoor activities" seem to be a big part of the problem right now. People hanging out at the beach, the playgrounds, the parks, eating in groups in outdoor seating at restaurants, protesting, etc. all accelerate the spread.

It may well turn out that people doing fewer of those things means that we don't have a heavy second wave in the fall. I hope that's the case.

Second, the window isn't "closing," it's pretty much slammed shut. The genie is out of the bottle for the U.S. and likely the planet. We're in the ballpark of 50k diagnosed cases per day, plus between twice and ten times that number of undiagnosed cases, if not more.

Contact tracing 50k cases a day would be a massive undertaking, and we'd still be doing nothing about the 50k+ undiagnosed cases out there, most of which represent people who are still spreading the virus.

The political will for additional lockdowns and preventative measures is all but spent.

I hate to say it, but absent a very effective vaccine, COVID-19 is most likely here to stay.
| FWIW running generators for days at a time is NOT cheap. on my setup its about 20-30 bucks a day in fuel alone.

What type/size of generator are you running? Might be worth taking a look at an inverter unit next time; they're much quieter and sip gas. Can't stress the quiet part enough - you can hold a conversation a few feet away easily.

Assuming you need 240v since you mentioned you have an interlock kit; Champion makes a 5,000 watt model for $1K. Will go for 12+ hours on 4 gallons of gas at 25% load. https://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com/Champion-100519-Por...

If you can get by with a single 5-8K BTU window unit, a WEN 56200i/Harbor Freight Predator 2000 (I own one) will last for 8-10 hours on a single gallon, keeping both the window AC and kitchen fridge running. They're a clone of the Honda EU2000i/Yamaha EF2000is, and I've found it to be just as reliable. https://wenproducts.com/products/wen-2000-watt-inverter-gene... & https://www.harborfreight.com/2000-watt-super-quiet-inverter...

Nice project! Just a little comment: "calla" is Spanish for "shut up". Not sure if it was intended or not, but I find it quite hilarious.
rather than tell the OP what to do you should recommend things yourself. Or not.
Oh, you meant the environmental regulation money? I misread your question, I thought you were talking about the money saved by the oil and gas companies when they removed said regulation.

Anyway, that money is generally spent on equipment and processes to clean up after whatever the company is doing. Collection pods for contaminated water. Scrubbers on chimneys. Direct pay to inspectors to come out and make sure you aren't trying to cheat to save money. That sort of thing. It spreads out across the entire economy. Markets and industries are formed to support finding the cheapest way to keep the processes in question from damaging the environment and requiring much more expensive cleanup (think EPA superfund and class action lawsuits over medical conditions suffered by nearby communities) after the fact.
I think it depends on your viewer. Preview on mac is pretty simple to fill forms and markup however you like. Forms are actually pretty simple to fill and tab to the next, feels like the format was made for this. I've had no problems doing this on PC with acrobat as well. I'm not sure what is out there on linux, but there has to be at least one fully featured PDF viewer.
> However the problem isn't just that compilers ignore UB, they actively make use of it!

I think this might depend on how you interpret the standard and/or compiler's actions.

If you believe "ignoring the situation completely" means "ignore precisely those statements that invoke UB and leave everything else intact", then the transformations done by compilers can look like actively taking advantage of UB beyond what might be implied by the standard.

If you think "ignoring the situation completely" allows "inspect the set of program executions, discard those in which UB is invoked, and optimize based on the remaining possible executions", then the mere act of "ignoring UB" can't really be distinguished from "actively making use of UB"; the actions are one and the same.
Hacking photosynthesis increases crop yields with less water

That makes no sense. That's the exact angle I'm trying to argue isn't feasible. It should absolutely be the corporate entity that takes the blame for things like that. If we were to change things to make the engineers directly responsible, we're just adding an entire industry that's not necessary.

We'll end up creating an entire class of insurance for software development liability. It doesn't really change anything except again, raise the cost and shift burdens.

Hey, let's ignore this one issue that has majority acceptance across political lines and upwards of 70% Democrat approval because I've got a grudge against it.

Hope is not a strategy. AFAICT, both parties basically support stronger state control and more surveillance.

It will be interesting to see how EU/China/Russia/USA spheres of influence will develop. With the pandemic, a lot of "unthinkable" things have happened (travel prohibition from US to EU etc), so I think the various factions are emboldened to double down on

- keeping their data in their sphere
- improve surveillance of own citizenry

* China of course has been pretty much on this track for years.

* EU is using privacy as the good cause to sell this

* US is now doing the same with national security as excuse.

I don't see the big picture changing just because the president and administration change (if they do).
If anyone is interested, for home workouts I highly recommend a macebell. It its a weight on the end of a 3 foot pole. It's beautiful because it allows you to adjust the leverage the weight has against you to adjust the difficulty. It's very dynamic and fun to work out with and tons of exercises from isometric to full-body can be done with it.
Dorothy Dunnett is the hidden gem of historical novelists. If you mashed up the romanticism of Dumas, the Machiavellianism of Martin, and the polymathic nature of Joyce, you would have something approaching the Lymond Chronicles, a seamlessly interwoven exploration of 16th century Europe.

Dunnett is without peer, Mantel included. I cannot recommend her works enough.

Here is someone else's review that does her justice, unlike mine:

I would believe that the costs of further clean air improvement are high as measured by annoyance to established people, but not necessarily cost. Where I live, the following would help particulate pollution:

- Eliminating existing grandfathered-in wood burning fireplaces. Costs almost nothing as measured by dollars.

- Emission controls on restaurant exhaust. This is currently required only for restaurants that chat-grill more than a certain amount of beef. Restaurants that smoke up whole blocks grilling pork, lamb, veggies, etc are exempt. These emission controls are not that expensive.

- Outdated fuel-burning devices such as 2-stroke leaf blowers and old cars. Electric leaf blowers are cheap now. Old cars are fun, and banning or taxing them would be unpopular but would cost almost zero dollars.
Terrible idea indeed. Why would I opt for a one year storage option when I could send an email blast with the info and have it retrievable for a lot longer?

This would push people away from a wiki.
Sorry, I wasn't defensive about the decidability of the type system, just curious about the analysis, which squares with my understanding of zig now! Thanks for the clarification; it might be helpful to expand on that in the doc.
For example, instead of using 64-bits for specifying from where the chess figure was moved, it can be the enumeration of the first chess figure for the given player, starting from top/down - so since there are max of 16 figures - it's only 16 bits. So this goes to 64+16 bits only per move. I guess you can go further...

I wonder if the tesla powerwall acts as a UPS.

EDIT: I found an interesting thread about the powerwall, switchover and using a UPS:

https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/powerwall-2-ups-conn...

it appears the powerwall moves the line frequency up from 60hz to as much as 65 hz as a signal to the solar power inverters and that can trip up some UPSs which monitor 60hz as an indicator of "good power"
no way. that's totally made up.
> What I really am is a hacker (original meaning, not the cracker meaning of the media) and as such, live on COKE and often work into the wee hours of the mornings (or at least I used to). A sign which once appeared on my door says "Real Programmers do their best work between 1 and 5 am", about which I totally agree. Though my boss, and wife don't!

That definitely resonates with me.

I know why web pages have to be why the way they are today but I really miss fast-loading and information-dense pages like this these days.
That's a strange claim to make even if it is factually correct (of course the majority of costs in the industry go to the thousands of front-line workers, and not the few executives) and not even really what I'm saying. It's the profit motive of the entire "healthcare industry" that I have a problem with, which is at odds with what people actually need ("healthcare"). If it were not so possible to extract wealth from the fact that people need health care, food, housing, etc., we could focus efforts on providing the best possible outcomes and not simply the most profitable ones.

I still disagree, I think their explosion is the result of other factors. Medium-sized cities still had taxi cab services but they were more expensive and less used. Uber and Lyft had massive capital backing to essentially invade these cities with lower cost rides. Once that honey-moon is over (it's over in NY for sure) customers will be in the exact same place. Another factor is that there is more leisure money moving around in the middle class as opposed to before. To attribute Uber/Lyft to the cause of the culture change is just way off base.

The article published in nature: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41477-020-0740-1
I know this issue is all political at this point, but if you want an honest answer, I personally believe most of the points you laid out. Here's my rationale for the points you mentioned:

1) All of the actual data and figures I've seen indicate that yes, it's worse than the flu, but that the reaction to it has still been insanely out of proportion. I'm basing that viewpoint on the data I've seen. I'm not basing my viewpoint on an emotional basis. I'm not basing my viewpoint on just whatever people on reddit/twitter/facebook scream at me. If I'm presented with different data (actual factual data, not opinion pieces) I'd be willing to change my viewpoint. But so far I have yet to see anything that would change my position.

2) This is a pretty large strawman/exaggeration and obviously I don't believe in that.

3) It's demonstrably, factual, obvious that the economy was one of Trump's selling points, and if the economy tanks, that removes one of his selling points and hurts him politically. That's undeniable. It's fact that the more chaos and perceived problems there are, the more it hurts him politically. That's undeniable. Where the argument could be is whether the left is intentionally trying to press those buttons or if they're acting in good faith. When I take how I've seen them act over the past few years (one such example being the partisan impeachment fiasco), combined with the fact that their reaction is entirely out of line with the actual data/facts (point 1), it leads me to believe that they are indeed intentionally overplaying it for political gain. Their political party benefits if they overplay it. They have means, motive, and opportunity.

I don't watch Fox news. I don't watch CNN. I don't make my viewpoints match what the hive mind screams at me is true. I base my viewpoints on the data I've seen. I'm entirely open to changing my viewpoint if better data comes in.
My house was built in 1914, which is fairly old for Portland. It's been heated by 5 different technologies:

1) Manufactured Gas, which I assume is the same as coal gas. The pipe for this is about 3 times as large as natual gas.
2) Wood chips (still a spot in the concrete floor where the "octopus" furnace (called because of the vents coming off
it) sat. This was a byproduct of the timber industry.
3) Oil. The underground tank in the side yard was filled in.
4) Natural gas
5) Air heat pump powered by electricity (partially fed by solar panels)

I'm not sure of the exact order but I think that's basically correct, as the development of trucks meant it was possible to drop off a big bunch of wood chips or later a tankful of oil.

I've read that some towns are not allowing new natural gas connections because of pollution issues. With the explosion yesterday in Maryland and our problems keeping up infrastructure, it seems like a reasonable approach to me.
I don't know why people keep talking about this "second wave" in America. Countries that have a second wave have one because they ended the first wave and are on the look out for more. America has not ended the first wave, at all. There can't be a second if the first is still here.
Yes, pollution regulation is a classic example of something which has a huge cost on one group (business) and a minor benefit to a large group (everyone else), but the minority is much more motivated. It is an unfortunate byproduct of our government with special interests.
Being trained as a historian, the idea of throwing away original texts in favour of translations because they're not in « the right language » is hurting my soul.

If a text is lost because it's only written in Hungarian, it means the Hungarian language is lost. And that means not enough texts written in it were kept.

See the problem ?

Keeping as much linguistic data as possible is beneficial. Intentionally curtailing is criminal.
Wouldn't modernizing things here and there not also mean that at some point the entire airplane has to go trough the approval processes again because it is now no longer considered a 747 which in turn also means all personnel need to be certified for the new type?

I once heard, that is the reason why many airplanes still have a "no smoking" light switch in the cockpit although it does not do anything anymore.
If you refreeze rotten food, doesn't that reduce the smell released, like less odor is wafting around in the air from frozen meat than warmed up meat?

Like we are able to find preserved remains in ice of people who perished in these harsh climates, as opposed to a warmer climate where all the tissue would be putrid immediately.
actually the final position is given by the type of figure - queen, king, etc. - and they have limited positions possible (not all 64) - even queen would have at the best - how many? like 27-28 possible - so 16+28 bits only now per move, and it can go lower. Replaying these moves should be almost instant (not much really)

Some make it more difficult than others. But 400 remote access vulnerabilities is a completely different ball game.
I wonder about the relationship between consciousness and Turing completeness. Although we don't have infinite tapes inside our heads, it seems that one could imagine a succession of progressively richer finite approximations to Turing-style computational universality. Perhaps "degrees on consciousness" as discussed in the article have to do with the depth of the approximation a creature with a given physiology can make to computational universality. I believe that the independent evolution of eyes resulted in surprising similarities, because of the underlying physics of photons, and the constraints placed on solving the same problems of interpreting streams of photons. It might be that there is some similar unifying computational phenomenon that drives evolution to similar mutually intelligible consciousnesses even via radically distinct evolutionary paths.

When you demonstrate that your ECNL (equally crappy new language) merits an investment of time guaranteed not to break in perpetuity against programmers in the future and changing standards I'll make an effort to learn it. Mind, it must be as free (to use,modify,permute and as low level) ~ C. I must be able to do what I need to do without being second guessed bc it's dangerous. There are some people who know when to be dangerous and slowing us all down to the speed of the slowest bootcamp grad or most avaricious exploiter of minimal talent isn't progress. Otherwise I'll stick with the libraries I know, trust, and have written in C. This article is great mudsticking btw.
PDFs also serve as a decent interchange format for dropping "signatures" onto a document. These are acceptable in court and in a format that regular business people understand. This is important for digitized contracts that can then also be archived by both parties.
