Bosch backed Ceres Power has a compact SOFC stack close to market in partnership with Nissan as a range extender for electric vehicles. The tech exists and cost more than within within reach for yachties. Bloom Energy are also players in the space. Honda has the FCT Clarity. Not sure why this tech isn’t being pushed more for marine uses; reduced price sensitivity and high volume manufacturing isn’t really a concern for a large segment of the market.
Good call, I've actually been using projectors since about 2002 :) I will have to change the lamp in mine any day now. It more or less suits me, but my partner still asks for an actual TV occasionally.
That uses a different mechanism. It cools the air and relies on convection. TFA specifically avoids cooling the air.
Good thing I went with Capture One.
There are sociology studies, published in closed journals, that detail the positive impacts that public libraries have on communities. The PhDs of that field must either be (1) blind to the irony, (2) totally resigned to this state of affairs, or (3) themselves complicit as managers of closed journals.

One more indictment: I'll bet they're all extremely depressed about how scientifically illiterate the general population is. They've probably published papers about that too, which the public can never read.

Some people see the devil in the Koch brothers, some people see it in Trump. I see it in the managers of closed journals. If you possess scientific knowledge and hoard it away behind a paywall, you are going to science hell. If you make a scientific discovery and sign away the publishing rights to somebody who intends to hoard it in this way, then you are spending at least a few years in science purgatory.
But do you want to live in a world where someone can completely fabricate an allegation that you can easily disprove, yet you’re still terminated on the spot for doing nothing wrong?

Winners already take most. It’s the way of the “hierarchy,” success is artificially amplified and mediocrity is commoditized. Who’s to say bigger companies are more attractive than small ones anyway, though? Small companies are generally home to better coworkers because they are judged more subjectively than by arbitrary inhuman metrics due to the relatively small supply of candidates who are interested in a small “target,” if you will.

The benefit afforded to small companies, not mentioned in this article, is that there is a wider range of skill that they now have access to. So they can more readily fill niches that they might not have been able to without access to a larger job market.

The author doesn't really explain it well because his explanation breaks some physics laws, so it doesn't "suck" your body heat away.

Instead, it lowers the amount of heat radiating onto you from your environment by replacing hot walls with cold walls, which will lower the temperature of your skin.

It's efficient specifically because it doesn't cool by convection (like every other cooler). This allows the designers to insulate it so they only have to offset temperature gained by incoming heat radiation when keeping it cool. That also means it won't cool the air, just the objects near it.
What Is Web 3.0? (2014)
I'm curious about why they decided to design a one bedroom home. In my midwest hometown of ~10,000 people (which was also the biggest town for ~12 miles in any direction), one bedroom homes essentially don't exist (I checked Zillow and there's exactly 4 listed as for sale or recently sold).

Full Fresh Air is typically called an "economizer" at least in California. The idea of those is to save energy.

But there is also typically fresh air requirements to bring in some percentage of fresh air.

And lastly the HRV/ERV mentioned in the other comment is typically more a residential thing from what I've seen but that's totally a thing I want in my next house.
I really don't think people generally act morally at all. Instead I'd say they generally act in a socially acceptable way so as not to become ostracized. Then the question is how well do social norms line up with ethics. Overall it's pretty close, but there are clear areas where social norms are not ethical, such as eating factory farmed meat and donating to domestic charities instead of ones that target the global poor.

I can absolutely guarantee you that this is not one of those chatbots from the 70s. You need to pay a few bucks to unlock the Dragon model, which is based on GPT-3, the default engine is not. Once the new model is selected, start the game with "(6) Custom" mode, and input an arbitrary body of text, then the program will start writing. Although the output is biased for playing text adventure game, but the input is really arbitrary, just throw whatever you have on your hands, and very likely, it's able to give a reasonable output.

At least when I tried, AI Dragon was able to write the first chapter of a hypothetical textbook on electronics engineering for me, filled with nonsense but all the technical terms are correct (e.g. common-base amplifier, base-emitter junction, MOSFET, etc), it was even able to write down the rise time to bandwidth formula. On an another attempt, it was able to write a Sci-Fi adventure story similar to Ghost in the Shell with minimum human guidance, 95% of the output is automatically generated. And none of the output was a copy from a known source, it was all original without human assistance.

Generally when American Trump/Republican supporters (I won't say right wingers, because I'm sure there's a large portion of conservatives who are not represented by the current corrupt administration) refer to the "far left" they mean the center and regular left. Their personal overton window is just so skewed that they think anything left of Trump is extremist.
Turn off Slack and you'll have your employees in WhatsApp groups. What do you prefer? Nobody is going back to email.

If people behave unprofessionally on Slack then that is because they are unprofessional. I've been working with different corporate chat tools for years and haven't seen any major drama. And if the former lunchroom conversation moved to Slack, you can now hold the bad actors accountable.

This happened on the user's phone. The issue is at what point negligent authorized access becomes unauthorized access. "Exceeds authorized access" is a criminal charge under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. A contract cannot override criminal law. This is really complicated, see [1]. An EULA, though, might not be enough to get Adobe out of this.

Especially if a third party, not a party to the EULA, owned the photo. If, for example, a news photographer for a newspaper had a photo lost, and the photographer, but not the employer, had agreed to the EULA, the newspaper might sue.

This is an important point. If a third party who is not bound by the EULA suffers damages, they can sue for negligence. The EULA binds only those who have agreed to it.

Cheap healthcare advances at the same rate as expensive healthcare, it just lags some years. That's why Walmart famously has dozens of prescriptions it can offer at a price of only $4/mo. Those drugs were once very expensive and were only available to the relatively wealthy.

This seems like a key paragraph:

> Russia and China would like a formal treaty banning all weapons in space. Both are keen to prevent America from deploying space-based anti-missile systems which might threaten their own nuclear forces. America and its allies resist this. They argue that it is impossible to define a space weapon—anything that manoeuvres in orbit could serve as one—and that it would be easy to cheat.
Console stores are not better in that regard though. I've heard plenty of complaints about the amount of trash in the Nintendo store, for example. All you're guaranteed with a vendor store is a lock of malware.
Rockets were an iterative process of gradual and revolutionary improvements that made engines you would actually be willing to put a person or nuclear warhead on top of.

Remember that the “build” phase of software is relatively instantaneous. The design phase is the only part anyone sees anymore. (The heroes who wove the Apollo ROM were examples of actual program builders).

Making the Saturn V static test rocket was heavily design work slowed by manufacturing. Making Apollo 11 was a process of knowing mostly what was needed and building it from start to finish.
The PCjr had the same sound and video chip.
And I say that should be enough.
You must have a very old loan or not be in the US, because prepayment penalties aren't legal anymore on US residential loans. Also, what I mean was paying all the interest for the lifetime of the loan. That would be significantly more than the principal balance and prepayment penalty.
The reality is that most people don't care, or don't know enough to care, or don't care enough to know. Switching to a meatless diet isn't an insurmountable hurdle, it's just inconvenient. And even that small inconvenience isn't something most people want to bother with.

Similarly, on the human front, a Westerner deploying even a little cash in the poorest parts of the world can save hundreds of lives. But most people don't care. They have their lives to live, mouths to feed, their local homes and neighborhoods to take care of. Caring about the suffering of millions of strangers thousands of miles away, regardless of species, isn't something we're good at, or care much for.

On the audio production side of things... people are still pretty skittish when it comes to upgrades. I like to think of an audio production system as an appliance rather than a computer.

There's a quote from George Sanger that goes something like "the difference between an appliance and a computer is that a computer breaks down more often". He was speaking about audio production. There's a photo in his book of a computer with a sign taped to it saying, in explicit words, to NOT upgrade the computer, because it is running GigaSampler and he would very much like to keep running GigaSampler.
That's more about sensational media, and socially-acceptable stereotypes.
Volunteers spot almost 100 cold brown dwarfs near our sun
I punched a bully in the stomach at school (after many months of the school doing nothing to address it), and after that he completely left me alone. It was a small school, so I'm fairly sure he didn't move on to anyone else either. A few years later, we even became friends, our younger siblings (5 years younger in each case) become friends (without knowing about the incident in question), and since starting his own company has done paid work for our family (which we wouldn't have allowed had there still be any animosity).

I've no doubt violence begets violence in most cases, but it can also improve the situation for both sides in others.
If you read it and the post i'm replying to you'll see I'm saying the problem is both the left and right screaming down your throat. So try again.

I just moved to the Bay Area and visited Big Basin for the first time two weekends ago. I had never seen trees that large in my life.

I'm grateful that I took the opportunity to go and see it when I did. It's crazy to think that less than two weeks later there is so much destruction there.
I agree with the author that ideally, you plan only the next sprint.

Unfortunately, I'm afraid this doesn't survive the real world, unless you're a small consultancy w/ a great relationship w/ your client, or you're doing work on your own.

A company that is any larger cannot afford to rely only on collaboration, it's impossible to have entire teams collaborate w/ each other since the communication overhead explodes [1]. I don't think you can make everybody converge down the line without some planning ahead and definition of some contracts.

Another situation is if you have any kind of external deadline (e.g. regulated companies). You can't answer with "we'll figure it out, trust me", you need a plan - even if you happen to have to change it.

The point of the Agile Manifesto was responding to change OVER following a plan - not that you shouldn't have a plan in the first place.

I am surprised that sort of behaviour is even allowed. The places I've worked would've probably given such an employee a very strong reprimand. Then again, they've also had clear policies about not... slacking off with the company's resources.

An idea I was told about relatively recently that kind of blew my mind:

- Space is cold (~3K)

- The atmosphere is really quite transparent in the wavelegth 8-13 μm

- If one can construct an optical filter (e.g. grating) which is highly reflective except for a bandpass at 8-13μm, it is possible to reflect most solar energy but still "see" the cold of deep space

- It's possible to build a box with sufficiently low thermal conduction, and this 'magic mirror' on top, to effectively refrigerate its contents by radiation to space. This uses no power, and works in direct sunlight [^1].

So weird, probably not very practical (what about cloudy days?), but very cool!

[^1] in fact, if you put it in the shade then it would warm up because it could no longer radiate to space.

They (allegedly) did a whole lot more than that! Everything about that story is absolutely crazy!

I'm not sure what's leading these security folks to believe they can do anything they want and get by with it but I, personally, am glad to see this criminal prosecution taking place -- hopefully it will help to "remind" others that they must "play by the rules" and that "'winning' by any means necessary" is not acceptable.

The complete lack of ethics at Uber, in particular, was appalling. Fortunately, it sounds like Dara was working hard to fix that once they got rid of Kalanik.
We’ll witness the birth of what I call the “Shadow Economy” evolve from the reputation economy. Since companies can’t exist, they won’t. Instead workers will find work where they don’t pay income or sales taxes which could be a global federated crypto network. If you remove taxes from the equation and replace them with what might be next generation smart contracts that work like cash (offline) then really government will be the one out of a job. Credit card processors and banks are already anticipating this future with their recent crypto card standard. In the BLM riots my chase bank actually was burned to the ground. There definitely is a vacuum to be filled and I think most out of work just need a platform that works without trust.

I think I found the Anthony Bourdain quote:

Like most other chefs I know, I’m amused when I hear people object to pork on nonreligious grounds. “Swine are filthy animals,” they say. These people have obviously never visited a poultry farm. Chicken—America’s favorite food—goes bad quickly; handled carelessly, it infects other foods with salmonella; and it bores the hell out of chefs. It occupies its ubiquitous place on menus as an option for customers who can’t decide what they want to eat. Most chefs believe that supermarket chickens in this country are slimy and tasteless compared with European varieties.

This is what I came to comment as well. I understand security updates to prevent the haxors from taking over. Even still, I wait for these exact warnings that update are bad. The forced automatic updates are the scariest thing to me. Luckily, on the desktop, they still allow the user to update at their discretion. I never ever ever update my Adobe software in the middle of projects. I once updated in the middle of a feature film edit that was put on hold, but went back to it after an update to Premiere. There were enough oddities with the new version that made me roll back to a previous version.
Affinity Photo or Pixelmator Pro are great replacements for Photoshop. Resolve and Final Cut are much better than Premiere.

I'm still looking for a replacement for After Effects and Illustrator though.

I've heard Affinity Publisher is a great InDesign replacement although I've never used it.
Nothing really semantic I guess, it's just papering over the processes that keep poor places poor and delaying these people from acquiring real equity and protection from the west.

The cooling system doesn't magically cool itself, it uses cold water to remove the heat that's added by radiation from people near it.

What does that have to do with this conversation? Agreeing on the meaning of words is necessary for basic discourse. It's not like distinguishing race and ethnicity is a redefinition during the course of conversation.

If you don't accept the distinction of course you're going to be blind to dependent concepts. That's just a basic failure of communication.
