I think we will be making lots of hydrogen for decarbonization of industrial processes, and maybe even for aviation or shipping, so as long as we can dump electrons to Utah and find the water, this sounds great.
Every era has its things it considers beyond decency to discuss. Most people agree with them, and even if they don't, they know to keep quiet.

Those who agree with the norms of 2020 also think many of the norms of past times were awful. Homosexuality was considered beyond decency not long ago. Race mixing, premarital sex as well. The list can be made very long.

So what are the chances that mainstream decency right now has found the perfect set of correct values, that never needs to be challenged?

You couldn't pack courts to change the meaning of a phrase like this. It's not like I can come in as a new judge, say that I interpret these words a certain way, and plow my way forward. The wording has to be accepted within the technical jargon of the field.

You know how we have words like compile, build, "binary", or executable? It's the same thing. Expanding the interpretation of the law is expanding the interpretation of a highly technical definition and takes much more skill than saying "I interpret the words this way".
It's not entirely clear what type of process actually lead YouTube to terminate this channel, so we can't know either.

> there are other extra jurisdictional mechanisms that Google employ to make your life difficult as a creator.

That's not quite true. The DMCA is a very strict mechanism. You get a notice, you take down the content, and if the uploader isn't happy with that, they have to sue the claimant.

Of course, Youtubes process is streamlined for its own interests and the interests of big corporate copyright hoarders. But it's not designed to bully creators.

The problem isn't really the process in itself, it's how Google applies it and the fact that Youtube doesn't seem to care that much for its creators.
I’ve built several, but currently own none, so I don’t have a dog in this fight. I know many families, though, who have invested their life savings in building rental properties, most often in disadvantaged and working-class communities.

I feel for the poor owners. They are all trying to get out, but I’m sorry to say, I feel they’re doomed.

Why would it tank overnight?

Did you misinterpret the requirement? It's not a banning on owning ICE, it's a ban on selling new ICE cars. You would still be able to buy, own, and drive a used ICE.

Yep. I believe part of the wonkiness comes from the way the configuration is stored. They have this weird design where the config is mapped to key/value stores using an abstraction. You can use a TOML file, YAML file, Etcd, Redis, etc. If you use Let's Encrypt, it also uses this mechanism (e.g. Etcd) to store the state.

It ends up being confusing and brittle, and exposes the underlying store as an API (you can modify Etcd directly and the changes are picked up). There's no intermediate layer that validates or controls the lifecycle of the config or state. You can end up in a situation where you break Traefik by pushing an invalid configuration, for example.
a) People don't know their own needs until you show them what their options are. Are you familiar with the literature on optimal line length that is quoted in the OP? If so, good job. I think it's fair to say 99% of people aren't. Consequently, if you asked people if they wanted an optimal reading experience, then they would have to concede that they are not knowledgeable about what that means, and thus that they should adopt different settings than what they would instinctively pick.

b) The alternative is not that people are "idiots who don't know how to use their window manager." I don't want to have to use my window manager. Manually resizing windows for each tab to get the right line length is a huge waste of time and seems idiotic to me. I want a professional designer to make it so I have the best possible reading experience on the websites I'm browsing. Because I'm humble enough to know I couldn't reach that standard by "using my window manager".
What makes Google unique here? I can think of many other companies who have similar scale or even larger incentives for abuse but never seem to fail to engage to the same degree as Google does.
There's a universe where Google - wanting to use their monopoly on video hosting and search for the forces of good and support the small content creators that drive their business - tells copyright trolls to pound sand and ignores claims made in bad faith.
You can do the same in Java and C++. This may violate a strict definition of parametricity (I've read the definition from a few different sources and am still mulling it over), but I'm not sure how this relates to parametric polymorphism.

The _behavior_ of this function is the same for all types, the _output_ is different. That is, for all types, the function body is the same. Maybe there is a more abstract definition of parametric polymorphism you are using, but as I said above, this seems pedantic.
I think Datadog's trace_id is 64 bits which I thought was a good balance between efficiency and uniqueness. Pretty sure Dapper used 64 bits as well.

I also don't understand the purpose of the 16 bytes for the trace_id in the spec. That's a huge range of numbers. Anyone know the rationale?
>> or you suffocating from wearing a mask.

This is an example of the problem. There are legimate legal, constitutional, and philosophical concerns about government mandated mask wearing

The problem is anytime anyone wants to have a rational debate about those topics people simply want to dismiss the person as a "crazy person that wants to kill grandma and believes a make will suffocate you"

For example I do not have a problem with a Individual business mandating a mask to shop or enter, but I absolutely believe the government should not (and does not under a textual reading of the US Constitution) have the legal authority to mandate mask wearing or have the authority to issue a criminal penalty should one refuse to obey.

I also do not believe the government has the constitutional authority to pick and choose what business is "essential" and then mandate all business that is not bestowed that title to be shuttered for 6+ months with no compensation by said government (that should be an unconstitutional taking)

Saying these things in modern discourse means I want to kill people and that every COVID Death is my fault somehow simply because I believe government power should be limited even in an "emergency"

Yes, I am desperate trying to prove Trump wrong by not putting a temporary ~3 month Trump administration regulation on the same level as all the post 9/11 measures. Absolutely.

I don't think this is particularly likely to hold up (except by court cases becoming moot before the judicial process concludes); I think it's unlikely to have enough of an effect to make a meaningful measure; I think there should have been another relief bill quite a while ago.

> The rest of the “free” world ignored that point. They gave NO thought to whether they had the power to impose these measures. They just succumbed to their fear.

There was a lot of adjusting the strictness over time in a lot of places. Including repealing measures that were though to have gone to far outside of a very short time period.

While true, even a battery pack used for small RC cars can output several hundred amps in bursts or even constant discharge.

Take this[1] pack of four cells for example which is rated for 450A constant discharge and 650A bursts. And there are more extreme packs like this[2], still four cells, which is rated for over 1100A burst discharge.

Sure a capacitor might do better for a brief instant, but li-io batteries can put out some serious energy quickly.

> "Couldn't find external investors despite very generous guaranteed pricing for its energy."

UK is a world leader in finding particularly sadomasochistic ways of financing critical infrastructure. This is like the PFI debacle all over again. Interest rates are at zero, the government should take out the cheque book and finance the plant directly. You can absolutely just buy a reactor and they are being built in China at record pace.

Private investment contributes nothing of value to this type of project, because spesification, location, and everything else was already decided

It only accrues extra cost because of higher interest rates avaliable to private investors and risk hedging. All the current government is trying to do, is keep the cost of the powerplants off the book, and hiding it from the national debt.
How many other companies operate at the scale of Google and are not accused of the exact same problems?

This is a rather aggressive tactic and, in my opinion, over the line in terms of ethical SEO optimizations. On one hand, they back up their result with actual search relevant and useful content, on the other, it is still a manipulation of search engines to sell Disney+ subs, which is completely irrelevant to the user search query.

With the Disney.com domain at their disposal, Disney has the ability to hijack almost any search query for whatever purposes they wish.
No. I'm specifically calling out that the government is not impeding. Other private actors are sharing bad things you did and exercising their Freedom of Association to disassociate from you. They shouldn't be forced to carry you around. That's it. It's the free market deciding.

All speech has consequences. You, the free speech enthusiast, not being prepared to pay those consequences is not cause for a government bailout or arrests of website hosts.

The mistakes Google's automated systems and reviewers make can cause lasting damage, even if your app or channel is reinstated after public outcry.

One of my browser extensions was removed for absurd reasons from the Chrome Web Store, and they've reversed their decision after things were made public [1][2]. While the extension was reinstated, since then it appears to be artificially pushed down in search results, and it no longer appears in the top three results when searching for the extension name [1], despite being in the second and third place for almost a year before the takedown and repeated update rejections were issued.

Ok, why then are the largest fires in Russia, Australia, Canada, and Bolivia? Is that also bad management from the Democrats?

Cool let's look at US only, because that will be your reply. We have the 2004 Alaska fire, the 2017 Montana wildfire or the fires in Idaho and Georgia in 2007 that were over 500,000 acres. Are those also meddling Democrats and Environmentalists?

What about the largest fire in Kansas history that went into Oklahoma in 2016. The largest fire in Utah was in 2007 as well.

When doing a proper survey, there's literally not a shred of empirical evidence to back your claim. This is a global phenomena exhibiting exactly zero bias towards any particular political party.

> It was understood that the main purpose of education was not to create factory workers, but to have critically-thinking and informed citizens in a republic

Are you saying the seminal book in economics documenting at the time of the Declaration of Independence that having children in the Western world was to help you get rich (opposite was going on in China) was incorrect?

> How does the survival rate of someone who has reached the age of 14 have an effect on literacy and citizenship?

It doesn't, but when your literal survival is against the odds and you're task every day is to maintain sustenance, I'm not sure your comment about a whopping 99% rate literacy hold water.
I understand your skepticism, and possibly a reluctance to be drawn in by false hope. It might well be very limited and very poor in the beginning. But I think it's very much worth seeing what can be accomplished and how much we can improve on it. It's early days for this kind of intervention.
Unpack this for me please, they were able to build a fleet of reactors in the past, but no longer can? Is the new design worse, or unbuildable? Old reactors could not be beluilt today? People with all the skills have kicked the bucket?

Genuine question - what are some examples of these? I am very aware that my aversion to any form of SEO or growth-hacking is both unreasonable and immature, and I'd like to train myself out of it by being exposed to what are (in your opinion) perfectly reasonable and non-malicious practices.

At least for fueling airplanes, hydrogen doesn't appear to be non-sense. I initially suspected that Airbus was just putting out some hot air, but now I think there's a 50-50 chance they are serious.

The basic idea is: hydrogen is by far the chemical fuel with the highest energy density in terms of mass: about 3 times the energy density of gasoline or jet fuel. However, liquid hydrogen has very low (mass) density so in the end the volumetric density of hydrogen is about 3 times lower than that of gasoline. But that works out ok. For example, an Airbus A320 has a max takeoff weight of about 75 tons, out of which about one third is fuel. If you replace that fuel with the liquid hydrogen that has the same caloric content, you need only a third of that in terms of mass (so about 8 tons), but since that occupies pound for pound 3 times as much volume, these 8 tons will fill the same volume as the 25 times of the regular jet fuel. This is great news: you don't need to modify the shape of the airplane, you don't need to make it like a beluga to fit bigger tanks.

Moreover, there are reasons to believe hydrogen-fueled engines have higher efficiency, maybe 10-20% higher. On top of that, if you reduce the takeoff weight from 75 tons (which is 25 tons of fuel + 50 non-fuel) to only 58 tons, you end up needing less fuel to carry this airplane around. It's the curse of the rocket equation working in reverse, in other words it's a blessing: using a more dense fuel means you need to carry less fuel, therefore you need to carry less fuel that moves the fuel, etc. In the end you probably get a few percentages of savings right there for free.

So, these are the pros.

What are the cons? You need cryogenic storage, you probably need tanks with a special interior lining to limit the leakage, you need infrastructure to move the hydrogen around. On top of that, there's a chance you increase the NO2 pollution (and it's not like an airplane can carry with it a catalytic convertor to take care of that).

An obvious pro is no CO2 emissions. An obvious con is the cost of producing the H2.

All in all, I think there's a fair chance that H2-powered airplanes could be a good idea.

The flaws of macOS Containers and defaults
Watch them all, there is something to appreciate in all of them. I would just put a trigger warning before Grave of the Fireflies, one of the saddest movies ever; everything else is pretty cool. The only one I’d pass on is The Cat Returns, but some people love it...

Generally speaking, Isao Takahata’s movies are more experimental and unique; his very last work, Kaguya-hime Monogatari, is incredibly beautiful but the animation is completely different from the “traditional” Ghibli style.
I never understood why grandparents were so into their grandkids until my kids started getting older. Then it clicked.

In many ways, parenting is like a video game where you only get to play each level exactly once before you're dragged to the next one. As soon as you master one stage of your kids' development they've outgrown it and you're back to fumbling your way through unexplored territory again.

Having the chance to play "Human: Level 1" again sounds pretty amazing. Not to mention getting to hold and snuggle a baby again. Babies are amazing, especially when you only have to take care of them part-time.
Yeah, I think it's pretty obvious Google is completely to blame here. Rather than say "Your channel will be deleted for unexplained copyright infringement" they could say "Videos X, Y, and Z contain copyrighted material at timestamps X', Y', and Z'. This material has been claimed, you may dispute it, because this is your first infringement we will allow you to correct the issue, etc."

As the video points out, in order to make a copyright claim the claimant must specifically state the content that is infringing. Thus, Google knows what material is (allegedly) infringing and has the information to provide to the user. Also as stated in the video Google is not required by law to delete the YouTube channel. They've taken that upon themselves.

To review, Google is being unnecessarily vague about what material is involved and unnecessarily harsh about punishing someone for an unexplained infringement.

The copyright system is, no doubt, messed up - but clearly Google is completely at fault for their lazy and Kafkaesque actions here.
