I hope they do something about power infrastructure like aggressively promoting solar just as much because our current power infrastructure cannot support this. Decentralizing our power generation through solar would really mitigate our current situation much faster and support the future.
It's definitely Angular and doesn't appear to have been optimized much: it needs ~16MB simply to load the console and they really need to think about how represent network activity since most of the views make dozens of API calls and are either blank or display a spinner until most of them complete.

They definitely know about it — every time I've used it with someone from Google in the room they've apologized — but it's one of those things which I think their management doesn't prioritize because they either don't use it much or only do so over very fast network connections.
The question is where do you draw the line. Apple consciously decides not to collect or track certain things about users. Yet that data could also reveal illicit activity, which means Apple is knowingly turning a blind eye to illicit activity.

Further, any data about users could potentially uncover illicit activity, meaning a provider could essentially be required to track everything possible in order to avoid ignoring potential illicit content.

Amusing historical note: D-Wave is so named because early in the company's history, we* wanted to do high-temperature, or even "desktop" quantum computing. In the process of hashing out implementation details, it became clear that the problem with operating at room temperature is thermal noise: the colder you go, the better your results.

Turns out those d-wave superconductors wouldn't bring anything to the table, but many of them require tricky chemistry that would be much more complicated to fab than the metals we use.

> Tesla strongly markets the idea that "all you need is the phone".

I've been a Tesla owner for quite a while now. I don't recall seeing that in any marketing material. More-so being "strongly". It's pretty silly not to carry the key cards as a backup for the Model 3/Y (S and X use traditional RF key fobs).

They are also only $12 each! https://shop.tesla.com/product/model-3_y-key-card I carry one in my wallet and iPhone case.

Median age of cars in the US is ~12 years, but has trended up since 1970 when it was ~6 years, which I assume is due to more reliable and durable vehicles.[1]

25% of cars are 16+ years old.[2] So by 2051, you'd expect 25% of cars to still be on the road.

For light trucks, the average age was 19 years old.[2]

> "When it became clear that we could get the infection could be spread by asymptomatic carriers who don't know they're infected, that made it very clear that we had to strongly recommend masks," he said.

"And also, it soon became clear that we had enough protective equipment and that cloth masks and homemade masks were as good as masks that you would buy from surgical supply stores," Fauci added. "So in the context of when we were not strongly recommending it, it was the correct thing."
What always seems especially disingenuous in these discussions, is the abnormal focus on nuclear projects going over budget (regardless if it's a first pass or not).

It's almost a truism at this point, to say that a look large infrastructure project is going to go over time and over budget. But when nuclear is in the picture, this seems to be wheeled out like its somehow a fault of nuclear alone.
If you do that, though, you are screwed when tomorrow does come, and you have no money, destroyed your body, and have not prepared at all.

When I moved out to the bay and was making ~85k a year at a startup I definitely lived like the person I responded to, except I paid for my own meals. Drive to local vacations, excess money went right into student loans and, after those were paid off, stocks.

The difference in opinion is derived, I think, from how I reacted when I got a big tech job. My earnings went way up relative to that first job, but initially my lifestyle didn't change at all. Eventually I started adding things little by little, thoughtfully I think. I took my first international trips, didn't dismiss hobbies outright because of cost - it made me a lot happier because I was experiencing things for the first time. That doesn't mean I stopped backpacking, drinking beer in the park, or going to cheap concerts - it was additive. At the end of the day, though, my lifestyle increased only by a small portion of how my earnings were. All things considered, my savings rate didn't really change by all that much.

There are some people who do really, really well trying to minimize their yearly spend, but there are a lot of people who could give themselves a little bit more slack and be better off mentally and physically for it. It isn't that they're not working hard. For me, it was just growing with working class parents - I never learned to ski, we drove instead of flew to visit family, video games were birthday presents. Relaxing some of the frugality was part of being thoughtful about who I actually was and wanted to be, and I think that's ok.

The better recommendation is to alias rm -i to del:

alias del='rm -i'

And then get in the habit of using 'del' unless you really want a no-confirmation delete.

Then when you are on another computer or at someone else's shell you get:

del: command not found

Instead of having a bunch of files silently deleted.
You do realize that the "other side" has the same EXACT perception of you, right?

It would be nice if people were a bit more skeptical of their preferred news outlets and opinion makers. What I see instead is the continuing existence of the same bubble that led to the shock and surprise at Trump's election. An absolute refusal or inability to consider other views, an inability to interpret events in historical context and with a healthy dose of common sense.

That is assuming you don't want a family. Meaning you will have a big bag of regrets later, and even if not, problems too...

That changes the cost equation immensely.

We're trading best time to raise a family for a career. It's wrong and likely unsustainable. And you cannot assume you will get hired in 50s, not yet and not in this industry.
SUVs can certainly be practical, though a crossover or minivan can do many of those things too. With better fuel efficiency and less weight on the road.

Would it actually have a large effect on boat ownership? Something like a Model X (or many regular crossovers as well) can tow 4-5000 lbs, which should cover the common ones right? I don't really know much about boats, but some quick research suggest that covers the common ones. I also didn't realize just how common boat ownership is in the US, but apparently its ~1 in 10 households.

But you are right, we are certainly not close to being able to replace trucks for business use at this time. The F150 is the top selling vehicle, and has been for many years. Mostly because of business uses. I don't think trucks are going anywhere for a long time in the US.
Thanks for the response! I was hoping that putting this somewhere public would be the way I find out you're still working on it :)

> but find it equally frustrating from my side sometimes

Yes, I've tried in my requests not to come off as mean or indignant, I understand you're a single person supporting what's now a rather large project. You probably don't get this enough: thank you for building pinboard and maintaining it. For many years it was a shining beacon of excellence that you didn't get enough credit for.

If you say you're working on raising the limit (the site claims mine is ~90GB, I guess it's just on the threshold) then I believe you and I'm happy to stick around a while longer. My complaint comes from not knowing what you're up to. Until this comment I hadn't seen any signs of life for quite some time. I know you've chosen to keep this a one-man thing, which limits the number of emails you can respond to, but even a twitter account with updates about the service would be appreciated.

> I get why it's frustrating to not have pet features like substring search built for you

I think I chose the wrong phrasing for this, I'm not asking for a new feature. Say that there's a bookmark with the title "COVID Recovery", a search for "COVID" might not return that bookmark. I haven't found a pattern to it, search usually works, but if I can't rely on search that sharply reduces the value in having a lot of bookmarks.
Would WebRTC become practically illegal? Because any peer-to-peer communication might be argued to result "in an inability to identify or access most (if not all) unlawful content."

If a website has a feature like voice channels or video calls that are peer-to-peer, then for "most (if not all)" of it the website has an inability to identify unlawful content. e.g. Zoom, Slack, Google Voice, and Discord would have to monitor your calls so they have the ability to identify unlawful content.
Ofc here assumption being made is that college is the deciding factor of success later in life.

Most backward cast candidates will be unable to forge deeper connection with powerful ellite caste people and they'll suffer in networking/connection game.

Education is just one of the many factor, if you don't have connections - you can't get people to believe you or invest in your business, your paper degree isn't going to do much.

Historically, new connections (both social and business) were forged based on marriage which was limited to marrying within specific cast. As a result power accumulated through network effect in hands of a few.

No matter how much education you put in backward cast candidates they are not able to get inside "ellite" network of upper caste people.

I'll give you a counter example, one of my friend dropped out after highschool and another one (backward cast) got degree from IIT university.

Today highschool upper caste person has more wealth and married to a local celebrity while the backward one is at government office and he hates his job, only people he party with are people of his own communities. Many times he's not invited to the private parties by his bosses. On paper tho, you might envy his job but socially tho he's an outcast - it's not changing soon either. He himself acknowledged, he's only boss at work but outside work, no one gives him much respect.
I'm not a lawyer, and I definitely think the whole copyright system needs reform, but I believe there could be legitimate issues with the legality of publicly posting guitar covers as this person is doing on their channel.

I'm not very familiar with the channel, but from the little I've seen, I believe the educational nature (and thereby fair use defense) could be debatable. Even if some of his videos are clearly educational, it seems that some videos are just covers of popular songs. And even if he's not using published sheet music to play the songs, he may still be required to have mechanical licenses, and possibly also sync licenses.

Most published music has three licenses that could be relevant here: the mechanical license (covering the combination of notes, rhythms, and/or lyrics that make the song distinct and "recognizable"), the sync license (using the song along with images/video), and a master license (covering a specific recording of the song). From my limited experience (and confirmed here [1]), it appears that many of these videos probably require at least a mechanical license to be performed publicly on the channel.

That being said, I absolutely agree with the sentiment that YouTube's handling of these issues is extremely problematic. They really need to start treating content creators with more respect and assume innocence until proven otherwise. There also needs to be more transparency into the process (and claims) so creators aren't left in the dark, along with improved ways to respond to erroneous claims.

Drawing the line on this is one heck of a huge gray area

It says providers cannot purposely "turn a blind eye" to potentially illicit traffic, i.e., cannot choose not to track and record such data. Yet any data about individual users and their behavioral patterns has the potential to help reveal illicit activity.

Meaning a provider could essentially be required to track everything possible in order to avoid ignoring potential illicit content. Keystrokes? Absolutely they could reveal illicit activity. By deciding not recording them, a provider is turning a blind eye to that possibility.
Have any work in progress examples?
I think they saw "deuterium atoms in a metal lattice" and associated that with one of the original hypotheses about cold fusion. But this fusion is anything but cold:

A metal such as erbium is “deuterated” or loaded with deuterium atoms, “deuterons,” packing the fuel a billion times denser than in magnetic confinement (tokamak) fusion reactors. In the new method, a neutron source “heats” or accelerates deuterons sufficiently such that when colliding with a neighboring deuteron it causes D-D fusion reactions.

You can certainly understand them if you're talking with a Canadian, because you can always ask for clarifications. But my point is not about accent, it's about taking a Canadian translation on an online translation service and mistakenly using it in a French document if you're not a French speaker. Good luck having your French readers understand what's a balado (podcast), a Bazou (a car) or a Boucane (the smoke), and that's just a handful of the B words. It doesn't matter whether you are a rude Parisian or not (what's with the stereotyping?)

I addressed this in my other reply. Table 1 of the study you cited stated that the residence time of stratospheric water vapor is measured in days. I'm not seeing a lifetime of years in that study.

Maybe. Lithium-air absorbs oxygen when it is operating. Not sure how to calculated this though.

Basic understanding? How about an extremely high and unwarranted confidence in one's own understanding of what constitutes a fact. I see no signs of having ever even considered whether the categories underlying one's thought are even valid. All I see is the mindless repetition of slogans and a superficiality of understanding. Concepts are merely accepted because the comedian or talking head or my environment want me to accept them. In other words, little interest in the truth and little common sense in interpreting events and claims.

Maven is wonderful. It's all the best parts of npm or cargo, years before them. Just don't try to fight it - accept that there is a maven way of doing things that you will have to follow. If you need something to build before something else, put it in a separate module. If you absolutely need a custom build step, write a proper maven plugin for it. But 99% of the time your build definition can and should be just a list of dependencies and a couple of basic settings values.

I've also wondered why we haven't seen more industrial effort around using sel4. Seems like it'd be perfect for mission critical firmware in cars and such too. For replacing linux, I guess there is still a lot of effort that would be required, but it seems worth it from my admittedly surface viewpoint.
> BTW, IANAL and all that but I'm not entirely convinced that his "non-profit fair-use" defense would even hold up in court. Surely he monetizes his videos on top of asking for donations and putting ads on his website. Given his number of subscribers he probably makes a significant amount of money from these videos.

Also not a lawyer (and I think that Google sucks for not disclosing what is allegedly being infringed and what is allegedly infringing), but I suspect this is not a slam-dunk case of fair use.

Running through the 4-factor test (https://guides.lib.utexas.edu/fairuse/fourfactor), it really feels like a fair-use claim would hinge on how transformative the work is:

1. The fact that he's monetizing it at all (even if not in a quid-pro-quo exchange of content for money) I suspect undermines the "non-profit" argument, even if the purpose is educational.

2. Music is pretty clearly in the "imaginative or highly creative" bucket.

3. He states that he "uses no more of the original subject matter than is necessary". Which implies that he might be using more than just a little (or even all of it). But that kinda seems to contradict what he says elsewhere in the video, which that he "doesn't use any resources or materials which are distributed or sold at a premium" and "every thing I've ever created has been 100% self-generated".

4. The website (https://www.goliathguitartutorials.com/) he mentions in the video has guitar tabs and (broken) links to Youtube videos which share names of popular artists and their songs. Without seeing the videos, I would infer that his lessons teach how to play popular commercial songs, which do have an established market for licenses he is avoiding.

It's hard to judge because we can't see the videos... but it kinda looks like this falls firmly under "not fair use" unless he's writing music that is only very loosely inspired by the songs it is named after.
You mean at FAANG in the USA. Sorry, but that is not the general outcome for a software developer.
I ask again, have you been a landlord? Have you ever been on either side of the eviction process in any state?

Yes there is a process. After 18 days, what do you think the landlord does with the property? Do you think they keep it forever?

The eviction process in some states and getting rid of the property have separate timelines. But after that holding period, you are still allowed to remove the property as you see fit.

As far as the article is concerned, the landlord would just have to wait 18 days before calling the company.

Even your own citation says “you are at liberty to dispose of it whichever way you please.” Just as I said.

There are plenty of Byzantine steps to the eviction process. But at the end of the day, someone from the sheriff’s department removes the person and ultimately you are responsible for disposing of the property. Whether that happens the same day is immaterial.
That's really interesting. Does predicting it alter the path and fix it more than if you didn't know? I suppose you can always, "choose against" once knowing... But i think most people can relate they have moments of free will and moments where they felt out of control, such as suddenly overcome with emotion in the moment and said or did something they might not have had they thought more. Interesting, I wonder if no matter how far you try to run from your "fate", these little moments of "giving in to temptation" drag you back to the predicted path... Who knows

Anyway, I'm really curious to know the story and details of what happened. If you don't feel like sharing here, you could email me if you still wanted to tell it :)
>he believes that not profiting from the videos directly, on YouTube

I don't see where he says that. He says he's never profited from selling other people's material. I think he considers putting up content for free with ads to not be selling content.

It’s especially egregious in this case with 1/3 of examples being extremely politically oriented (the so-called systemic racism). One of the big issue is when people start thinking their fantasies are reality and will distort every fact to fit in, instead of critically think that they may, in fact, be wrong.
Perhaps. I just find that every time I question the scapegoating of Activision with my own experience I never get any concrete details or first person experience.
