Agree with this and I would argue that subsidies can be a good thing. In a perfect world (which does not exist) I think subsidies for old power generation would have left long ago and as soon as new tech came out they could be applied to it.

Doesn't seem like you two are disagreeing. He's just pointing out the economic side and you're referencing the political side.

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

> Fascist governments exercised control over private property, but they did not nationalize it. Scholars also noted that big business developed an increasingly close partnership with the Italian Fascist and German fascist governments. Business leaders supported the government's political and military goals. In exchange, the government pursued economic policies that maximized the profits of its business allies.

> While other Western capitalist countries strove for increased state ownership of industry during the same period, Nazi Germany transferred public ownership and public services into the private sector.

Seems consistent with the point he's trying to make.

This doesn't seem to support your general argument.

Do you have any evidence that renewables are generally cheaper than nuclear when accounting for storage?
Very.

However, nobody told the sun that, so it keeps heating up the seas, evaporating their water, and letting the resulting moisture drift until it gets pushed up into cold air by some land obstruction like a mountain range...

"Pumping" the water uphill in this manner is very inefficient, but like all legacy technologies, we're stuck with it until we can invent a replacement ;-)
Then there'd be two confirmations you'd have to accept. Even if the compromised host replaces the legitimate request for its own so that the original doesn't run, you'll still notice that whatever you requested was never done after confirming.

I'm not sure what you're precisely proposing by "piggy backing", but I can't see a practical way of doing it that wouldn't make it obvious to the user that something is wrong.
I noticed fairly recently that YouTube has undeniably started tracking my watch history even though I've had watch and search history turned off forever, and it's still turned off with (apparently) no data in it.

On the front page, there are constantly recommendations of videos which I have just watched (not liked, commented, only watched). Old, new, whatever. Videos which would be quite random if I hadn't just watched them.

I stopped using Chrome a long time ago after similar observations of how it tracks usage. Good thing I don't really do anything sensitive with YouTube.

I guess if we hit the edge of feature density, we might start building things out of 3d FPGA type designs of homogeneous modules but because of heat, the capacity of such a design is ultimately going to be limited by its surface area, not its volume, no?
Argh! you are a better sleuth than me. I was looking at that month's rust-dev archives and didn't realize the subject did not have "pure" in it, so I looked right over it.

This is! Thank you so much!

It'd be amazing to be on meetings and be able to share diagrams and drawings in real-time! Certainly better than the webcam i've got pointing down at my desk at the moment!

I highly doubt that. I've seen a lot of advice to overprice on here, the idea being that you can never charge too much. "Double your price" is the most consistent advice on this site.

A deep image will typically consist of many 20-minute exposures. You can't have the exposure be too short because the CCD read-out process introduces noise, so you want as few read-outs as possible. But if the image is exposed for too long parts of it may saturate and start to ruin the rest of the image. (Plus you may have the whole thing ruined by a cosmic ray or a satellite or something.) Something around twenty minutes is generally the sweet spot.

Throwing out an image or two that had a satellite or cosmic ray pass through out of a few dozen isn't so bad. But if every single one of the images has a satellite trail you may be out of luck.
Blog post that casts doubt on Adrian Zenz - likely CCP propaganda. I've noticed this a trend in the last few months on Reddit and other forums where random people are trying to smear the guy. If you browse through his other posts, its clear this Jerry Grey is anti-US, pro-China and pandering.
The book The Grid by Gretchen Bakke is a great primer on why this is such an important problem. Energy is strange, in the sense that everything produced needs to be consumed more or less immediately — it's not like other resources that can be easily stockpiled (even with batteries). Our infrastructure, at least the antiquated American power grid infrastructure, is built with the assumption that production and consumption is balanced.

Maintaining the energy grid is a careful balancing act between preventing surges and blackouts. There are a lot of grid-related engineering problems that come from increasing decentralization (e.g. wind, solar, hydro) because, as you mentioned, it increases unpredictability in supply.
That's terrible for usability, especially since you're almost always going to want better resolution than "anywhere in or around city X".
Is it possible to retrofit and run fiber across sewer systems, telephone poles, and electrical towers so we can connect rural areas without much effort digging trenches to get there by using existing infrastructure?

The 10ms demo is almost as good and much easier to accomplish, requiring only 100 fps instead of 1000. Actually you would need more than 1k fps - suppose it takes 0.5 ms for the touch sensors and CPU processing and graphics updates; then half the time after a touch you would miss the frame and have to wait 1 ms for the next display update.

To me 1ms doesn't seem worth it given the diminishing returns. Something like 5-10 would be way easier to do.

Gmane was just a nice interface for reading mailing lists, in this case it was just referring to some thread on the old rust-dev mailing list, which is archived at https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/rust-dev/ .

The difference to Tesla is that your product has no incremental cost (other than marketing/support).

Tesla has to do that because producing 1000 Tesla roadsters costs approximately 7-10x the cost of producing 100, and they will make a comparatively minimum gross margin on each unit sold.

My suspicion is that halving your cost would more than double your customers, but this is down to you guys to test.

>has 0 pollution outside of initial dam construction, is perfectly safe.

These are both demonstrably untrue.

1st, due to methane releases of decaying plant matter in the flood zones depending on what is flooded Hydro can actually produce over double the emissions of the worst coal plants, annually. For example the Curuá-Una dam in Pará, Brazil, has produced three-and-a-half times more emissions than an equivalent generating plant running on oil.

Based on what was flooded by the WAC Bennett dam in BC, BC likely has more GHG emmissions in their energy mix than Alberta.

And based on the size of the reservoirs(some of the largest in the world) in Quebec & that the flooded mostly boreal forest & peat land, that is also true for Quebec.

2nd, Dams breaking have caused a lot of deaths: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1975_Banqiao_Dam_failure

Actually, the EU had about 130k deaths itself. If you add the UK to that, you get just as many as the US basically (172k vs 180k). So I don't think the EU really did much better than the US in this regard, overall. There are exceptions in specific countries, especially in some of the more Eastern countries, and Germany to some extent, but overall the EU countries did as badly as the US.

Not to mention that the EU itself did basically nothing to help with the pandemic crisis, especially in the first months - even arranging travel conditions was beyond them.
Definitely not effective, unless you go full 1986. Softer forms of surveillance may prevent some attacks, but still carry huge potential for abuse which is not even close to worth it IMO. We have to remember terrorism barely kills anyone in relative terms.
Go as a new language is a mega success.

Well done, Google. Well done. (golf clap)
You'd be stuck with essentially one "material" though -- eg color or brush or whatever -- but I could see its utility as a dedicated single-purpose device (like only intended for sketching/notes -- which I guess is mostly true of remarkable anyways)

Energy density almost doesn't matter for grid scale things. It's not like we don't have space where we could put batteries. Cost is really the only important measure and nuclear is very expensive, while batteries keep getting cheaper.
Is there a dimension that can be used to compare across process tech since process node is now marketing and not gate length?
Agreed. Same with "OOP". Who the hell knows what people really mean when they say that.

Those people who think that "FP" means "type system like Haskell" are wrong, though, IMO. It precludes languages that are much more function-based, such as Clojure, Schemes, Elixir.
Less than 50% of Americans have any stake in the stock market, which is a good reason we base economic forecasting on the behavior of GDP and not market indices.

Although if we were really smart we'd weigh financial services less, since that tips the scales upward when it isn't building as much value.
The 4UL/4DL was an offer by Alternatyva.it back then. I don't recall the costs, but they were comparable, although a bit higher, to a wired ADSL. They kept it until Telecom Italia finally covered that area with faster ADSL, which if memory serves had been 5 or 6 years later.

I seem to remember we had to settle to a 4/4 setup although the contract allowed a bit more DL speed, due to the distance from the only repeater we had in line of sight. Performance was good during day and very good from evening, with speed tests around or very near the theoretical maximum.

Most of the nightmarish consumption growth is not from immigration but from formerly developing countries achieving lifestyles and consumption habits similar to developed ones. 3 billion Chinese, Indians, etc. are more than happy to consume large amounts of meat, dairy and drive cars to their AC-controlled homes and jobs without immigrating.

Nuclear is carbon clean yes, However it is by far dirtier than any other generation method, if we stop the coal plants today, in few hundred years CO2 levels will revert back and temperatures will normalize. The half life of the radioactive waste is in ten of thousands of years.

We are still struggling store industrial chemicals for mere half dozen years without it causing tragic accidents, while Canada might not be Lebanon today, there is no way to know how well off our future generations will be and whether they can safeguard the waste, both safely and securely from hostile actors without it being an big burden on them .

It will be costly problem at best or a major disaster at worst for all live forms. all this to have some power for 30-40 years.

I don't have the details of how you tried to push this, but often cherry-picking evidence to push your choice of language to your team is not a very good way to run your business. I actually generally dislike case studies like these, not because they aren't interesting, but because people use them as things that they can point to whenever they want to push their personal language agenda (I'm looking for a better word for this that isn't that negative, but until then I hope this comment makes it clear that I don't mean this in a "malicious, purposefully self-sabotaging" way).
microsoft.com or debian.org would cost a lot more than $1 and I would trust signed or unsigned software downloaded from either a lot more than from a random domain name. Code-signing definitely adds the benefit of offline key management; there is less risk of signing keys being stolen than TLS keys. But the valuation of trust is rooted in the domain; if Debian has to revoke all their keys for some reason I'll trust debian.org over any other source for re-establishing a root of trust unless a significant fraction of the Internet and mailing lists are crying foul, and even then I would probably wait for control of debian.org to be settled before trusting any Debian repositories.

I still think that demonstrated control of a domain is sufficient for verifying a code-signing identity, even automatically like LetsEncrypt does for TLS.

Sure they made Go. But where are the innovations in search and information retrieval? Where are new data products? Sure, they innovated on word embeddings. But If they are going to monopolize and control access to information, why are they doing such a poor job at it? I say this with some anger. This company affects all of us, and they are completely mediocre from a product perspective. I welcome the day when NLP gets good enough to where a competitor can rise. Until then, we are stuck with this abomination and arrogance.

The taxpayers who saw how the bridge in the next town over was basically an handout to a politically connected construction firm with a bridge as a side benefit.
Bicyclists who wanted a bike-friendly bridge? I've seen that. Old people who want a level crossing rather than an elevated bridge over a road? I've seen that too. Local landowners who don't want any change to their view. That's pretty common for all projects.

Then there are the fundamentalists who fight any outlay of taxpayer dollars.
Yea well "really" free markets don't actually exist so that distinction seems a little silly.

Free markets are good at minimizing cost. Currently, emitting CO₂ has no cost, so the market has no incentive to solve climate change.
I worked at Citi for a very short time way back when. We were doing some things I thought were a bit “sketchy”, and was wondering if we were breaking the law.

The response from my boss: we’re only breaking the law if we get caught, so theoretically we’re not actually breaking the law since no one has “caught us.”

Guess there was some logic there. Of course this was a very long time ago. And sure they follow those pesky banking rules now
