Terri Kanefield has a reasonable observation on all of this.

Condensed:

"A few weeks ago, a theory that Trump could steal the election in this manner made the rounds. For this to happen, a string of very unlikely and highly improbable things would have to happen. The story died down. The press right now is very bad for Trump.

Next thing we know, a legal advisor to the Trump campaign tells a reporter that this extremely unlikely event WILL happen because the states will line up and do what Trump wants (overturn the will of the people). The Trump campaign wants this in the headlines.

Remember that each state has rules that govern the certifying of their elections. Yes, laws still matter. The Trump legal advisor wants you to think they don't. Why? Because when enough people lose confidence in democracy, democracy will fail...A goal of active measures is to get you to lose confidence in democratic processes. Trump is trying his best to get you to lose confidence in democratic processes. He is trying to make you think he can pull this off.

He's losing so he needs to present a situation that makes him look strong.

He wants you to think state legislatures will do whatever he tells them to do, including overturning the will of their own constituents because Trump ordered it.

For about a dozen reasons, the scenario is highly unlikely. If Biden wins across multiple swing states, getting hit by a meteor is more likely. But Trump wants the headline to be: Trump can steal the election!

Being rather perverse, my response is, "Trump wants this headline, so let's not give it to him."

To add (via @NastyOldWomyn): In PA, the GOP controlled legislature can’t appoint its own electors without amending the PA electoral code, which Dem Gov Wolf would veto, & the GOP lacks sufficient votes to overcome his veto. Same in MI & WI.

Facts matter.
but wont this just create another problem, the mass for the 'spent' hydrogen would be 9 times more than original because of Oxygen being much weightier (atomic mass: 16). so your fuel tank would basically get 9 times heavier. that will negate any benefit you get from higher energy density. also it may create storage problems because now you have to provision another tank for water storage.

I think they'll just handwave it and release it periodically.

Agree with many of your points. But dashboards are horrendous. Too many people making decisions leads to kitchen sink design.

There might be a moat around Tesla in that sense. Big companies tend to do things by committee, and it shows.
Our First Client for DK Sense Product

Depends on the use case, I just wanted to point out TFA (TFP?) considers this point a central note and goes into great detail about the question.
The problem games face is that most games, small or big, are reasonably well-produced but ultimately settle on doing more-of-the-same things, commoditizing themselves into a position where they can't address any market in particular, so instead of getting a "fair share" they get almost nothing because all attention goes to a path-dependent established best in the category. Big productions can break through that with spend, but only somewhat. And any time there is a breakout hit it gets followed by a sea of clones.

And as a whole the industry remains stuck on the problem of how to run the production, since it's still challenging to ship anything even now.

I wonder the same thing! District heating would be an excellent use, if you could transport the heat to a site with dense population. But transport is the challenge, and why we convert energy to electricity in the first place.

As far as district heating goes though, it could be an absolutely fantastic way to solve the fuel oil problem in the north east; if we could store heat generated in the summer underground in large stores for clusters of houses, it could provide a great way to heat all through winter with simple heat pumps.

>it's hard to imagine another great depression at all, given the Fed's recent history of propping up the market in crashes

I think the counter-argument (not that I know enough one way or the other) is that the Fed’s recent addiction to low interest rates removes one of its most important tools for propping up the economy if the existing approach is found insufficient

Interesting. This is basically exposure therapy which is used to treat a number of anxiety related conditions.

For example, for men who have shy bladders (and it can get so bad they can’t pee outside their own homes), the therapy is to go to a public washroom and stand at a urinal for 5 min.

Yeah, 5 min. Don’t even try and pee.

Similar to you, they realize that their anxiety around people caring or even noticing isn’t based on how people would actually react.

The anxiety subsides and typically the physical manifestation of that anxiety also goes away.

Apparently works for fear of heights, fear of flying, etc. in those cases the anxiety is less around other people’s reactions (though it can be - people are fearful they will freak out and embarrass themselves) but just the idea that exposing yourself to anxiety provoking situations for long enough (and in a controlled manner) will cause your brain to react less and less to it in the future.

> you still have to draw a clear line between the OS and the language it uses

I'm hoping to avoid this in one of my own OS projects using Forth, actually; I think using a language with most features implemented outside of the core language implementation, but rather in libraries, helps a lot here.

For example, exceptions are implemented in the OS code rather than by compiler magic (though there are some built-ins the exception system needs to call that are only really relevant if you're building an exception system). The actual Forth implementation is under 2000 lines of aarch64 assembly, after removing comments and whitespace.

The US and every other developed nation 'absolutely can'.

The tech, research and regulations are '40 years old' stuck in an old era.

The 'existential risks' from Nuclear are partly fallout but that can mostly be managed.

It's really 1) waste and 2) proliferation.

The waste ... might possible to be dealt with. We can re-process and turn waste into something that can reasonably sit somewhere safe for '100K years' - that sounds like a challenge but I think it's possible.

Proliferation is the real problem. Nuclear requires 'very responsible systems' from top to bottom. Advanced nations, with transparency and oversight and scrutiny, can handle it.

But as soon as US, Canada, France starts building reactors, then Chile, Ecuador, Afghanistan will want to as well, and who is going to stop them?

Then it's only a 'small bribe' from 'very bad actors' getting a hold of nuclear material, enough to build a bomb, or much easier, just a dirty bomb, enough to very easily do some very bad damaage.

I can see contamination being released in NYC, which maybe only makes a few people ill, another few thousands with 'somewhat unsafe exposure' - but which requires evacuation of Manhatten and 200 years of 'no go zone'. This is the real risk.

So the UN, West, China, Russia would have to all perfectly align on 'the rules' and be very serious about enforcing them.

Because it's political, I don't see it happening. Russia has tons of Fuel they want to sell to Kazhakstan, a civil war breaks out there, baddies get ahold of a reactor, and 'somewhere someone takes a bribe' and some bad materials slip out the back.

We can definitely save the world with nuclear, we just have to act responsibly on a collective level. Not sure if we can, sadly.

More like none of the above. The problems are long solved or greatly minimalized.
Ah we finally agree.

Yes, this is meaningless unenforceable pablum to curry votes prior to an election.

A serious effort would be to do say, an enforceable statewide boycott of imports from nations that are still building fossil fuel plants the same way the abolitionists got rid of global slavery in the 1800s.

A seizing and decomission of all state fossil fuel power production and a disbursement of the war chests to the laid off workers the same way we got rid of global whaling could help too.

There's lots of precedence for this, but we'd need to do some command economy level actions to achieve it.

You'd also need a bunch of political leaders willing to kamikaze their careers to achieve it. I don't see it happening tbh.
Oh dear, a lot of it is undergoing severe erosion then. With sympathy, sincerity, courtesy and the middle class looking particularly brittle at the moment.

> In the tech industry we have some very loud voices arguing that if you desire autonomy or leverage, the best path forwards is to start a VC-backed startup.

Maybe it's because I automatically tune out voices which are obviously wrong, but after 9 years in SV I can't claim to have ever heard anyone say this. All of the advice I've ever seen targeted at fresh entrants boils down to the "earn vs learn" dichotomy, which squarely puts "earn" away from VC-backed startups.

Providing another data point, lest everyone thinks Singaporeans are exploitative lot as a whole.

Our live-in helper gets paid SGD$700 monthly. She has her own room and bathroom. We treat her like a part of the family. My children adore her, and she takes very good care of them. Her mother used to work for us many years ago, and has since retired. Because her mom is not doing well health wise, we also gift her SGD$100 every month, to help with her expenses. The family has managed to build a very nice house with all the money earned in Singapore.

And there are many such cases in Singapore. Which is why Indonesians keep coming back to Singapore to earn a decent living.

Mailinabox is very much automatic. You run an install script and it asks you for a hostname and domain and thats about it. It also manages updating, backups, certificates all for you.

I don't really know how it works but I have been running it for 2 years and it has been fine. The hardest thing was updating to the new ubuntu LTS which involved making sure my backups were safe, wiping the vps and then restoring the backup on a fresh ubuntu install.

Because the software is strict on using only a fresh ubuntu install with nothing else on it, it all just works because you have the same config as everyone else.

OpenTelemetry is really orthogonal to JMX. We're trying to provide a standard way to capture spans (traces) and metrics and send them to observability systems, both open source and vendor-provided. Those metrics might originate from JMX, or any other source of metrics you might have. Our APIs do provide a way to directly capture metrics, but also to hook into existing metric providers (like JMX or JFR).

I designed an urban data center with them which was pretty cool. (fun fact, a lot of metro areas have way more gas capacity than they need, as opposed to electrical grid capacity) The bonus factor was not needing diesel generators onsite for backup power just keep a natural gas reservoir from the local supply.

We had some of these at Google powering the lab in one of the buildings with some standard Google type equipment racks. Easy start, rapid response, and N+1 or N+2 or 3 redundancy without needing a whole additional plant.

One thing this effort tells us indirectly but unambiguously is that federal law enforcement and surveillance does not have a technical solution for end-to-end encrypted services or Apple's device encryption. If they did, there would be no need to create new legal penalties (and make no mistake, the federal law enforcement and surveillance agencies are the real force behind this effort to defeat online privacy).
I don't quite get it, what does this do?

The readme says absolutely nothing (e.g. "The OpenTelemetry specification describes the cross-language requirements and expectations for all OpenTelemetry implementations." and goes on to describe how to submit changes or on which proprietary platform meeting minutes can be found) and the Overview document goes into depths about terminology (what a trace is, what a span within a trace is, how to link spans, etc.).

Nowhere does it say if this is supposed to, for example, replace proprietary crash reporting in apps so that we can know what is being reported back to the mothership, or if this is something completely different.
This seems like such a saner way to achieve modularity/boundaries rather than using Microservices.
Average electric power generation in the US, on the grid, is a bit less than 500 GW. So, 15 TWh is about 30 hours.

> The wording has to be accepted within the technical jargon of the field.

Huh? If a majority Supreme Court decides a phrase "really" means X in a certain context, it means X for the rest of the courts. The "technical jargon of the field" notwithstanding. They're often the source of that jargon.

The Slaughter-House Cases famously by a 5-4 vote reduced the Privileges or Immunities Clause of the 14th Amendment to a dead letter only 5 years after its enactment. A handful of years later it specifically held that despite the 14th Amendment, the First and Second Amendments didn't apply to the states. But then, despite no actual relevant change in the Constitution itself, the Bill of Rights began to be applied to the states by the Supreme Court in the 1900s, through the somewhat roundabout method of the Due Process Clause instead.

Or choose some other example, if you prefer. The "reasonable expectation of privacy" standard that has formed the basis of Fourth Amendment law for decades rests on the court's novel interpretation of the stubbornly unchanged words of the Fourth Amendment in the 1960s.

The Supreme Court wields huge power to interpret the law untethered to any pre-existing rule, if it so chooses.
An inconsistently applied sanity check creates a false sense of security. Like how a safety barrier that isn't strong enough to take someone's weight might be worse than no barrier.

Maybe needing an army of moderators is just the cost of doing business when it comes to hosting user content. I'm weary of that change being made, but really, I don't see a viable alternative, or a good argument against it. If you can't moderate content at some scale, then maybe you just shouldn't host content at that scale.

I think there may be a light, or a deeper darkness, that comes out of this though. We may see a lot of investment in automation for catching this kind of content.
