as someone who apprenticed as a lineman briefly, this isnt at all unexpected. Just because you have generating capacity, does not always mean you have capacity in the duty cycle for your transmission infrastructure.

Many substations are older, and were never designed to handle high duty and load during climate-change driven weather events. These substations suffer from underreporting as they often dont have remote monitoring capability beyond whats detected at the line. Operators tend to baby these stations intentionally as their failure could spark massive outages across the grid (again, due to older design considerations)

Now this part might get a little political, but these substations/transfer depots/etc... arent just old because the outage would hit a lot of customers at once, but because NIMBY groups frequently oppose building or augmenting existing substations. Wild claims related to electromagnetism basically kill the project at every level.

its also worth noting that the nytimes might not be taking into account the number of people working from home. Duty and loadcycles for this year are going to be very hard to predict.

It's a representative democracy. People vote for representatives that then propose bills and spending policy and vote on them. Elect officials or run for office yourself if you think your ideas are better and more attractive.

Who should be the authority for what society finds value in, which policies are invoked, how taxes are distributed and spent if not the representatives of the people? Clerics? Doctors? Lawyers? Scientists? Sociologists? Bartenders?

I work in a retail photography environment. The amount of 16-25 year olds who come in to buy film is astonishing. Many of them don't even know why they're shooting film. They need help loading their cameras and have no idea what to do with the film afterwards. They'll regale me with stories about how they got an amazing deal on a Canon AE-1 for $200. To me it's quite obviously an "in" thing to do with young people right now. I have to admit that it kind of makes me laugh, but overall I am happy that it's helping an element of an industry that I love stay viable.

> I turn off location manually whenever I am not using an app that requires it

Which is almost equivalent to teather from a security point of view. Either you trust the system, in which case you can trust that you can deny location to the programs that according to you "don't require it"; or you don't trust the system, in which case it will just broadcast the position whenever you enable the killswitch to everyone who could be even remotely interested. And again when you enable it is usually when you are most likely going to leak something interesting. There is here some usefulness in terms of having "another layer", but academically this is really debatable.

I appreciate your comment. I grew up in the Bay Area in the late 70s and 80s and even then there was plenty of diversity. But I was definitely treated differently/bullied due to my background. I don't think this will happen to my kids in the Bay nowadays (or at least not to that extent). But I guess I am a bit biased in thinking other parts of the country are not so progressive.
I'll keep your perspective in mind and temper my assumptions. Thanks!
Freedom is a policy. The actual argument sounds like "I don't want to".

Why don't you become a vegan? Why don't you exercise every morning? Why don't you have children? Why don't you say a prayer before dinner? Why don't you wear a helmet when riding a bike? Why don't you rescue a cat from the shelter? All these things are good for you and carry little risk.

The only correct answer to these is "because I don't want to". And your ability to say this is called freedom.

Pharma may be the intended target for the signaling work, but as a data scientist who works in pharma, I can say with certainty that no biologist or chemist here would entertain for a minute any model that can't explain its mechanisms of action. Nor would the FDA, who wants any model not only to accurately predict the intended outcome but also reflect awareness of the contextual circumstances that surround and lead to it.

No competent physician would be satisfied with a disembodied diagnosis. The constituent symptoms and assay metrics that support that diagnosis are essential to know, especially as disease is often complex and dynamic, and no single diagnostic label should ever hope to supplant a deeper understanding of each patient's unique mix of normality and abnormality. A diagnosis using ML may be a useful starting point in treatment, but never should be the endpoint.

I've tried to build several Pi projects over the years, and I'll happily plug Nerves as probably the easiest way to develop software that runs on the Pi, especially for the reliability. Genservers supervising sensor inputs and managing motor outputs is really simple to reason about. The easy learning curve is nice given how robust Nerves is under the hood. I've worked harder for less reliability.

Nerves is also the first Pi software that worked the very first time I plugged in the flashed memory card, which was a really good start.

I'm currently adding Nerves/Pi to a small home autonomous robot and it's been very easy for a guy who definitely isn't a hardware expert. I'm looking for other fun ideas, if anyone has a good idea. I live in an apartment, so indoors ideas only for now.
> No they don't, this isn't even a falsifiable argument.

I mean this is pretty common knowledge re: Walmart, I'm amazed you're even arguing about. But here you go:

"While it was not feasible to contact local officials in all 3,000-plus communities in which Wal-Mart’s U.S. stores are located to find other subsidy deals, we did take this approach for all of the company’s distribution centers that are in operation or are being developed. We found that 84 of the 91 centers have received subsidies totaling
at least $624 million. The deals, most of which involved a variety of subsidies, ranged as high as $48 million, with an average of about $7.4 million. As with the stores, a considerable amount of information on the size of the subsidies is not available, so the real total is certainly much higher."[1]

Is there a reason mammals don't/haven't evolved this way?

But why haven't deer or bunnies, for example, evolved to have white patches on their rear ends the way insects and birds have?

You are clearly deliberately ignoring the point of my response. This is about community standards and political consensus. I'll stop presenting generalities and be more specific. You are clearing trying to quibble about minutia while ignoring the substance of my response. How the hell we're talking about wearing a mask when you are clearly a global warming denier is a little ridiculous but fine, here we go.

You are right some college student might whine about having to wear shoes and a shirt, but no one stages a protest demanding that 7-11 sell that kid a soda without a shirt or shoes. There is no discussion over the rights and freedom of the individual to purchase something in any kind of store when someone isn't wearing proper attire. The ACLU, or perhaps an unnamed legal organization taking up this cause as an infringement of freedom. And generally conservatives in theory support most restrictions of behavior on private property. You want to refuse service or toss someone wearing an anti-war t-shirt from your store or mall? Every conservative has supported this.

You are right, there have been some complaining and at times some legal action regarding enforcement of dress code. Private school is a voluntary thing, so I'm not discussing it. It is usually in a public school, and it could regard the content of text on a shirt or more often how much skin is being shown. The complaining/ or lawsuit filing side is generally from a more liberal side of the spectrum. I'm sure you can cite an example of a conservative wearing a shirt with a message that is deemed "offensive" or perhaps a racist who is banned from wearing a nazi symbol, but the overwhelming examples are generally of women wearing clothing that is deemed to be "too revealing or too sexual". No conservative wasted a moment worrying about the loss of freedom over banning underage girls wearing a crop top.

My real point is NO CONSERVATIVE has worried about this kinda thing until it came to wearing a mask. Now all of the sudden the concern over infringement of freedom is an issue. Not wearing a mask is a health hazard, and 170K+ people have died because of the spread of COVID. No one died because some girl's dress is too short.

If you can't see the point I'm trying to make, then let me be more explicit - your concern is over infringement of freedom because of a mask is completely unprincipled, which is a very nice way of me telling you I think you are full of shit. "Principles" that are used as arguments for suppressing laws and actions when it aligns with what you feel are wrong, and subjectively tossed aside for stuff you feel are right kinda proves they aren't principles. They're just an excuse to justify the things you want. You dont want to wear a mask, you cry "freedom", but some kid wears an anti war shirt, and you cite "private property".

Based on your political arguments your alignment is transparent. Your example of every person being required to carry a condom is completely irrelevant.
>> We badly need some sort of industrial fish farming at a large scale.

> They're doing that.

IIRC, most farmed fish are fed with fish meal, which is basically less-desirable wild-caught fish, so fish farming does not take the pressure off the oceans as much as you'd think.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_meal

> The production and large-scale use of fishmeal are controversial. The lucrative market for fishmeal as a feed encourages corporate fisheries not to limit their yields of by-catch (from which fish meal is made), and thus leads to depletion of ecosystems, environmental damage, and the collapse of local fisheries.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_farming

> Farming carnivorous fish, such as salmon, does not always reduce pressure on wild fisheries. Carnivorous farmed fish are usually fed fishmeal and fish oil extracted from wild forage fish.

So who is going to actually fabricate these chips, Samsung ?

IBM transferred its own chip fab business to Global Foundries several years ago and it was my understanding that they were tied to them for the following 10 years. But Global Foundries announced they were abandoning EUV so I don't think they're going to be producing 7nm chips.
How would filtering out potential developers benefit a platform’s viability? My imagination isn’t sufficient to envision a market situation where this could ever make sense. Can anyone here describe a hypothetical scenario where as a company pushing a platform you want less developers interested in it?
When to use microservices? When one part of your monolith can easily be broken out and run on its own server as a service, and that would improve some performance bottleneck that you need because you can see a point where it will matter in the near future. Otherwise "never".

It might not meet the current definition of a micro service, but it makes sense when each bit of functionality is being developed/managed by different teams. Especially in a large company where there are many teams that cater only to other employees.

That is, Instead of forcing everyone to choose the same language and architecture and everything, let each team spin up an API for whatever it is they are providing. I believe this was the original reason for micro services, and somehow it morphed into breaking applications into separate systems even when there is no real reason to do so.

Another OK reason is when a particular service needs it's own change schedule.
I understand that is how IBM thinks. I just don't like that they only think this way, as it feels like spoilt potential. IBM has all the pieces in place - they have great technology with high performance, ppc64le actually has pretty good apparent support from mainstream Linux distros, infrastructure and languages (for a non x86/arm architecture), and they have full "creative liberty" of where they focus their platform. It would be an awesome option to have for cloud infrastructure, but they keep it all to themselves.

They could be using that to do what AWS does with Graviton2 - cost control their completely integrated stack and make it a competitive advantage. Sell more performance per dollar despite having a non-amd64 architecture. Use it to give everyone more choice and competition. But instead they mostly use it to lock in their old (or new?) enterprise customers. The irony is that these two models could easily coexist, but they don't seem to understand the former and understand the latter very well.

And I can't help but think the latter is a losing model, as my strong impression is that the movement in the enterprise is away from "enterprise hardware", and towards commodity hardware. IBM needs to work on becoming commodity, in my opinion.
I only bring it up because they suggested that they had a verification method in mind better than signatures.

A kid can access the paper ballot or the phone, for sure. The kid might be able to convincingly forge their parents' signature. They can almost certainly do whatever "e-verification" that diebeforei485 had in mind.

> But software of any non-trivial scale is rarely written for one person. Even when it's developed according to the ideals of the Handmade movement, it will be mass-distributed.

It could be written for one person and mass-distributed with the understanding that you are using software written for Bob's needs.

>I'll just add here that it's precisely the economics of large-scale software distribution that allow concerns such as internationalization and accessibility to be addressed, while a solo Handmade project will probably not have these important things.

You have mixed up cause and effect here. Internationalization is a concern caused by mass distribution, not an existing concern not being addressed. The same goes for accessibility. Handmade software will meet the accessibility needs of the one person it is written for. Have different accessibility needs? That is a different piece.
I think that's a product issue though and not something that requires regulation. I feel the exact opposite, I barely look at them and get my recs from friends or other sites I frequent.

Who's competing? Stack rank firing went out in the 90's. Part of being the best I can be involves surrounding myself with the smartest people I can find.

> there are many different types of meditations

I am really curious about the origins of these "types". Who actually came up with these things? The concept of meditation has its origins in Hindu scriptures. However, now, it seems to have become a fad, with charlatans and marketers overwhelmingly using it to scam people.

I see the same with the so called "yoga".

But I have an open mind. There might be actual research that develops the concept of meditation. Would really love to see actual evidence. Like papers, books, etc.
