> These people still need jobs.

I think this is a statement worth teasing apart a bit.

Nobody "needs" a job, for most definitions of "job."

Everyone needs

food

water

shelter.

Maslow's hierarchy makes this clear.

In most places in the world, you justify your right to access food, water, and shelter by providing labor to earn capital (or you just have capital because your parents had capital) to give to someone else for the food, water, and shelter they control. Sometimes this is the person that gave you the capital in the first place! (What if you work for Safeway? ...or whole foods? )

So you're not technically incorrect to say "these people need jobs." Of course they need jobs, if they don't, they'll starve to death or die of exposure! But it doesn't sit right with me. Why is the solution automatically "let's find a way for them to justify their existence in a world quickly filling up with robots," and not simply "let's sit back and enjoy the fruits of robotic labor?"
Sure, but on the other hand, such a lucky break of this new approach might have had never happened. At the same time, if super-ITER approach was shown to work, by producing it en masse, it would likely be cheaper per installed MW than nuclear power, which would remove the need for solar panels and wind altogether. We'd have cheap power with no danger of nuclear pollution, no real nuclear waste problem, and no destroyed habitats and landscapes by solar panels and wind turbines. We'd still have won over current status quo, just not as much as we might with this lucky break.
We're still figuring this out, a discussion on the #crochet stream in our Zulip today is on this very topic. At a very high level though, many events (mouse movement, keyboard, etc) are handled by widgets, not by app logic, and those are dispatched to the widget by the toolkit calling into the widget Trait's `event` method. The idea that a button is clicked is different, we tend to call that an "action" rather than an event. In current Druid, it's a callback which is given access to mutable app state (often through a lens). In Crochet, it's placed in an "action queue" and the app logic is rerun when the queue is nonempty, then everything is rendered after the app logic has had a chance to make its mutations to the view tree.

We don't have the one frame latency, as it's not imgui under the hood. (There's a bug in the Crochet prototype on this, but it's known and will be fixed).

Hope this helps clear things up a bit.
Cash is likely a small part of the problem, but I suspect poor financial habits are a major contributing factor, as well as education, mentorship, and opportunity.

The question is whether the solution will be heavily patented, or that it will be a generic machine-learning application (like classifying images).

You make it sound like it's a handout and a bad thing.

IMO jobs facilitating knowledge, experience & wisdom transfer between so many countries is worthwhile on its own, nevermind that the goal is to help solve our energy problems. If we get experience developing a massive international moonshot program from a jobs program, so be it.
ITER is a research project and will likely be very valuable, even more so when the compact reactors turn out to be viable. As amazing as the compact reactors are they still face many of the same challenges as ITER.

UBI would have to be paid for with taxes on incomes (or spending) not wealth, and incomes are much more evenly distributed, so everyone currently paying taxes would have to pay substantially more. If you try to pay for UBI with wealth taxes, your funding stream will rapidly dry up.

I am not saying it is impossible, I am just saying that UBI would not be paid for by the ultra-wealthy, and it's not clear that the middle-classes want to pay for UBI.
Self publishing (which I did) means you don't nearly need as much sales to make writing a book financially viable. If you self-publish through Amazon you get 40%+ royalties, and selling 10k books would net six figures. With a publisher (as Keppmann writes), you really need 5-10x as many sales for it to be a success.
Can you?

A 40 watt oven bulb, yes, but a 125 watt like you'd use in an egg incubator, reptile cage, or EZ Bake?

What prescribed CFLs were heavy subsidies, not the ban. CFLs were being given away by a lot of state governments. It was a nice kickback to importers, but I'd have trouble being convinced it did much for LED manufacturers.

Hello everyone smile ! code-executor is an Open Source project using which you can run arbitrary code in various languages inside docker containers. This could be used in Competitive Coding or CodeGolf sites where you need to execute code submitted by the user in an isolated container.

The npm library is published here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/code-executor
You can find the docs here: https://csivitu.github.io/code-executor/

We've been building this for the past few weeks, however there are some issues which need fixing. We also plan to increase the capability of code-executor by adding features such as support for new languages.

We've put up a few issues at the moment (https://github.com/csivitu/code-executor/issues) and we'll be adding more soon. Hoping to get some help from the community for fixing these problems flagyay

You can find the contribution guidelines here: https://github.com/csivitu/code-executor/blob/master/CONTRIB...

You don't need as much containment as you do for fission, because you don't deal similarly large amounts of highly radioactive isotopes. Consequently, the safety standards required are closer to fossil plants than to nuclear plants, and these safety standards are really what drives the cost of nuclear fission. The steam/electricity conversion/transmission/cooling" are also present in fossil plants, and these are significantly cheaper than fission plants.

If you join a mailing list that I'm involved in, you will have to click 'agree to privacy policy'. The privacy policy explicitly states tracking pixels in emails. The privacy policy template I generally provide users isn't very long and the language is quite plain and easy to understand.

I instruct my clients to provide valuable content in their mailers. That users get these valuable content products for free in exchange for agreeing to the privacy policy. Even then, they can still get the free, quality content my clients produce without tracking if they choose to turn off images in email. It's really very simple.

This might not conform to whatever standard you create in your head of informed consent, but it certainly satisfies the lawyers I've dealt with.

Hey - thanks for mentioning this. I've filed an issue at https://github.com/openculinary/backend/issues/24 - in short; RecipeRadar has crawled some tuna + teriyaki recipes, so you've uncovered a bug indexing those and making them searchable.

> ten times as energy efficient

As CFLs? Nowhere near.

Early LED bulbs had a horrible color rendering index, too. They made things look weird.

Cheap LED bulbs have the same reliability problem as cheap CFLs, too. They both skimp on the heat dissipation. The life of semiconductiors (in the control circuitry, for CFLs) halves with each ten degree Celsius rise in temperature.

Cheap bulbs use cheap, low-spec components close to the edge of their ratings and treat them badly. Irrespective of the base light-producing technology.

The mercury-in-CFLs problem is as overhyped as the asbestos problem (there are hundreds of thousands of miles of asbestos water pipes carrying drinking water) and the idea that plastics are bad for the environment. (In most cases, they're far better than equivalently priced alternatives.)

Finally, I had CFLs in my house for over ten years before LED substitutes became available. Now that LEDs are cheap enough and good enough, I'm using them. But from the late '90s to about 2012, CFLs were it.
What Economics 101 or 102 principles are you referring to? I Googled your comment and found this 2019 research paper [1] that seems to support it, but I would have thought the Economics 101 take is more aligned with what companies tell us – more information about consumer desires allows firms to sell us products that we like more at lower cost, and competition means that the savings eventually get passed onto us rather than captured in permanently higher profits.

I would like to deescalate this convo, I used overly harsh language and I apologize.

Your use of fast, is in the definition fast enough for the task at hand. It is not fast in the absolute sense. I assert that Elsa being that much slower than Deno due to Deno having a JIT where as Elsa does not automatically puts them in different categories. But the stack that Elsa uses still needs Go and C, so long term for Elsa I could see it using a pure Go JS runtime in place of QuickJS.
It makes a lot of sense. Gzip is ubiquitous and it is easier to throw compute at the problem than engineering time to ensure all the various little silo'd projects that are shoe-horned into the rendering of a single page will share the same memory for what happens to be a common string.
Which makes the way Epic defines the situation ridiculous.

You shouldn't be considered to be an infringing monopoly on day one with a single customer.
As an aside -- and I am not attempting to criticize you personally, because I can imagine all sorts of reasons it makes sense -- I find it hilarious to juxtapose going through two houses in four years with worrying about the energy efficiency of your light bulbs.
> Game consoles are general computing platforms as much as anything. Like Apple's devices they are artificially restricted with a walled garden model.

This is true that game consoles are walled gardens. But the question is, what is the market like for game consoles, when you compare common substitutes, as compared to what the market is like for smartphones.

I would argue that the game console market is much less concentrated than the smart phone market.

Anti-competitive practices are only illegal if a company has significant market power. And, IMO, Apple has much more market power than playstation, given that Apple controls about 50% of the smartphone market, in the USA.

> What I can't understand is this argument that Apple specifically shouldn't be allowed to restrict software but game consoles should.

The reason is because Apple controls half the smartphone market, in the USA, whereas game consoles don't have that much market power, especially, if one were to claim that the PC market competes with game consoles. (Which I say that it would. And I would also not say that smartphones compete with game consoles)

Apple's actions only become illegal, because of the combination of both their actions, and the fact that they have significant market power.

ITER and Sparc are not mutually exclusive routes. ITER will teach us a lot about Fusion, knowledge that will be useful to scale up production.
> Did you read my post? Because I explain how it's permeability and corrosion make it challenging to build long lasting containers to store hydrogen.

And did you read my post? There is already a great deal of equipment for manipulating hydrogen on an industrial scale. What, did you think they rip that stuff out every month? The issue you are raising is already well solved.

> It's not the same technology to store methane. Methane can be liquified and kept as a liquid at room temperature

The great majority of methane storage is underground as compressed gas, not cryogenic. Underground storage is cheap; the capacity in the US is a good fraction of the annual consumption of natural gas here. It is this long-proven technology I am referring to, which should have been clear from what I wrote earlier.

> Show me where you get this figure that 700 cubic kilometers of hydrogen is produced yearly?

World annual production of hydrogen is 70 million metric tons, or 7.0e10 kg.

https://www.iea.org/reports/the-future-of-hydrogen

The density of hydrogen gas at STP is less than 0.1 kg/m^3. Divide to get 7.0e11 m^3.

> We produce over 4000 times as much natural gas as hydrogen annually.

Globally, 6% of natural gas production is used to make hydrogen. I wasn't talking about hydrogen production by electrolysis; I was talking about total hydrogen production, to show that hydrogen is a material that global industry already has vast experience with.
Do you think that a better approach, given a lot of resources, would be to push more general/fundamental research without a clear end goal in mind? That approach makes sense to me intuitively given how many surprising breakthroughs there have been throughout history, but I admittedly know very little about actual research.
Again you are being disingenuous. Which reeks of bad faith. I'm not being disingenuous at all.

Users are uncomfortable being actively reminded of it in a creepy manner. The disclosure is there and Snowden made sure no one can declare themselves uninformed.

People are comfortable enough with the tracking that legislation doesn't curtail it. I'm not a big player, I don't make the rules, I play within them. Don't like the rules? Work on getting them changed. Don't like my funnels? Don't sign up.
This looks pretty useful. Thank you.

And yeah, pretty much every such email I've received was from companies who seemed to pride themselves on their interpersonal services or abilities. Given that they managed to irritate me in under ten seconds, I did not have a whole lot of faith in their abilities.
Snaptrends is now pandemic insights
story about private police surveillance vendors. Cellebrite is interesting.

First, protecting the rights of the disenfranchised means, by definition, they are not disenfranchised. I'm not sure why you keep using that word.

Second, if we rewind to the original comment, it's clearly talking about people "who are offended by everything", on a platform where everything offends someone. This is not about rules or regulations, or personal behavior; all of which have very specific context in which they apply.

Rather it's about the lack of engagement with different perspectives by labelling everything taboo at such a scale and breadth as to prevent any possible discussion, and the worrisome self-censorship as a result. You're only reinforcing this point with your sweeping generalizations on behalf of people and situations you don't represent.

If you find something offensive then you are free to not participate, but you do not have the right to limit their speech. You're not protecting anyone's right by doing so, and I find it the very opposite of human to regress towards silence instead of moving forward through reason.
> charging what everyone else is charging?

"Everyone else" being other middle-men with enormous market power?

> higher prices for consumers.

Monopoly and market power can also kill companies that "should have" prospered, depriving consumers of choice. Like the supermarket that gives preferential treatment to products owned by the same conglomerate, or the search giant that prioritizes its own services [1]. I would consider that a social bad as well.

You're saying nobody would put up with it. But is that really true? If your TV got an update that made you wait 30 seconds as a way of punishing you, you would literally destroy it? (Rather than just put up with the punishment?)

I think I would probably just put up with the 30 second punishment. But how would you legislate against it?

What law would it violate?

Youtube shows me the same ads hundreds of times (such as etoro ad). I didn't hate the ad to begin with but now I can only consider it a form of punishment to try to get me to sign up for youtube red. If it were normal genuine advertising there would be a rotation of advertisers. Nobody benefits from me having to see the same ad hundreds or even thousands of times.

What if a TV applied this to other product categories, things you bring into your home?

Where is the line?

By the way do you boycott youtube? Or just put up with the ads?

I don't think you smashed youtube when they started forcing ads on you.

So where is the line?

No this not. Trump claimed not one but two annual losses greater than $1B. So large that they were among the largest losses ever recorded. He obtained a refund that requires direct congressional oversight but seems to have been paid prematurely and without the required act of Congress. And in fact the entire basis of the refund—that giving up all ownership of his Atlantic casinos allowed him to transfer their losses to his tax filings—cannot be maintained because he in fact kept 5% of the casios meaning the entire tax write of would be disallowed and may have been fraudulent filed in the first place is not something your random family business does. Further, even if that were the case that doesn’t mean it’s legal. You don’t get to pay employees consulting fees as well.
