This all really started with a-la carte subscriptions, which were a good thing, even if it only partially solved the problem and was implemented without much granularity by the cable providers (there used to be so many channels that most people just never cared about). Then with the internet, there started to be less need for a provider to bundle everything, so services started popping up everywhere.

Really, this is one of those areas that it would be wonderful if there was some standard by which content providers could expose their content and the metadata for it, and if you had an account with access it would be added to some aggregator for you. Sort of like what you get with Apple and Roku, with search ability through apps/channels, but in a more normalized fashion. Being able to add a discovery URL and access credentials and have a system automatically add content would be wonderful as a consumer, but the incentive just isn't there with the providers because there's always some big exclusive access deal, or a deal across multiple providers, so I'm inefficiently paying for the same movie on Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu. I want a world where I can add Netflix and Amazon Prime credentials to Hulu, and access all the content through Hulu, or Hulu and Amazon Prime credentials and watch everything in Netflix, or just add them all to Roku and have it add all the content to an interface there for me to use.

Amazon is actually getting closest to this in functionality, if not in spirit, by allowing you to subscribe to lots of other services through it and they show up there. Of course, you have to pay Amazon for them, and you are stuck using Amazon to view them, so it's not really equivalent at all.
That’s definitely not reinventing the wheel. As someone who used to be Service Desk for a very large company I can say that those (not even cheap) off-the-shelf MIMO panels caused so many call-outs to reseat/restart/replace them that I bet you’d actually save money by developing something that works reliably well.
Same Idea here. Always was annoyed with the lack of multiple cursors from mice/keayboards when doing pair programming.
It’s not mutually exclusive. Facebook is complicit. TikTok however is specifically a unique entity on its own. The demographics that use it are of critical interest to persuade additionally the data is directly at risk of being used as information warfare on increasingly elevated state cyber warfare tactics.

Follow the trail of information. Look into what’s going in across the stack hardware to software to networks. There’s a massive shift the past couple years.

I think that's also because Zuse was always relatively obscure during the war, he never was a "nazi celebrity" like Wernher von Braun. Zuse's computer experiments were not considered "vital to the war effort", funding got denied so it always remained a "basement project". And after the war computers were hardly the most important thing to work on in Germany either. Also AFAIK Zuse himself didn't consider his inventions all that important and earth-shattering, at least before and during the war, he "just" needed a tool to help with computations, so he built one.

I'm right now ambivalent on nuclear in its current form, but you're darn right it's not a fair fight (some would say free market). Petrol is subsidized up the wazoo in addition to people ignoring the externalities of climate change and pollution.
I don't know if this is permitted with the libre office license, but I wonder how much money it would take to just fork libreoffice and make a commercial product out of it.
But they are big enough that most hardware companies would be small-scale operations in comparison. Why wouldn't they set up a division to do something like this?

Aren't large cars status symbols in the USA? Gas is cheap so you buy the biggest and baddest car on the market as a sign of social standing.
sorting isotopes takes a lot more energy than sorting chemicals
Kinda funny when people say "East Asia" it mostly means Japan and its isolationism, with China mixed in just to change the tone a bit. I don't find it offensive, just kind of funny/interesting.
But then we'd have more accidents and people would be more inclined to ban it.

This isn't a rational numbers game; if a nuclear plant goes, the effects last for decades.

I mean compare it with transport; airplanes are safer than cars because there's just so much more training and oversight involved. But if there's a car crash, it gets (at best) a byline in a local newspaper. If there's an airplane crash, it's world news. In the US alone, 35-40 thousand people die in vehicle fatalities per year; internationally, according to https://www.who.int/gho/road_safety/mortality/en/, it's 1.35 MILLION. Death toll from planes is less than 1000 per year, worldwide (https://www.statista.com/statistics/263443/worldwide-air-tra...). Don't take this as fact because I just googled for a few seconds, but car accidents cause more than 1000 times as many deaths as planes.

But planes get all the media attention and all the legislation, training, safety requirements, development, etc.

I'm not sure if I'm making an actual point here, but the tl;dr is that people will not be rational about their opinion on nuclear safety vs other forms of energy.
No, it's not supported on Linux due to this Chromium bug [1]. For example, GNOME automatically switches themes via an extension [2], and most apps like Firefox honor that setting. But not for Electron apps, at least not yet.

It would be great, since my personal preference is also light theme during the day, dark at night.

The economic reality is that battery on the grid is out-competing gas peaker plants in a lot of places because even with the current scarcity and price levels in the battery market, it seems economical to buy them by the MWH.

Technically, peak prices dropping because of solar/wind is a problem of everything else being too expensive. Battery storage solves that problem by being cheaper. Of course we'll need many TWH and the current production levels are still measured in GWH. But as we learned last week, Tesla is looking to fix that. But even at current price levels picking something expensive like lithium ion seems to make sense for some. Of course better options are possible and being worked on. But it's competitive already. We're talking about making it even more competitive.

This is actually proven technology; there are a growing number of places that have sharply reduced their conventional power generation and vastly reduced cost simply by deploying modest amounts of battery.

Basically the notion of a peaker plant seems to be reserved for recovering the sunk cost in prematurely unprofitable gas and coal plants. Building new peaker plants is not really a thing. The economic outlook for investors behind such plants is downright depressing as they can look at trends in the market and extrapolate sub 0.01 $/kwh solar prices are coming (rounded down, this already happened actually).

That's also why nuclear is not really viable because its closer to 0.1 $/kwh. That's an order of magnitude difference. It's too expensive. Too risky (financially). Too uncertain. And that's before you consider the general mood (irrational as that may be) against nuclear.
Why would you need to shop for groceries any time?
If mother stays with a kid father can do all the shopping on the way home from the work. What's som complicated about that?
Also, in my country home delivery services are very popular with moms. You can indeed do grocery shopping any time. Now, during pandemic, those services are popular with everyone, of course.
DaisyDisk is another example. They even blur the line by having the standalone app detect if you purchased via the App Store and will issue you a serial number if requested: "DaisyDisk has detected and applied your Mac App Store purchase receipt."
Sure, but it’s either too expensive (Cisco), too unreliable (MIMO) or both (Tandberg). Source: used to be a Service Desk tech for a giant conglomerate.
Unfortunately, it’s perfectly legal to sentence a defendant for ‘acquitted conduct’. Google it.
I think Americans should be very, very careful about calling for 'smoking gun evidence' of state oppression, crimes against humanity, and war crimes.

It is highly duplicitous to be sabre rattling over perceived ideological differences, when America's own ideology is couched in immensely contradicting - nay, hypocritical - failures to conduct state affairs according to International law.

>It's a Chinese company, they have privledges, not rights.

This is also true of American companies, especially those with a trillion dollar profit motive in the military-industrial endless-war market.

Be very, very careful about what doors you open with statements such as this:

>If you want some sort of smoking gun evidence you're not going to find it, unless you somehow have a security clearance in China good enough to gain knowledge about their operations

We know all too well how tightly wrapped up in its deep state secrets America's own heinous crimes against humanity are .. and if you are so sure of your own states innocence that you feel warranted in calling for other states' downfall for similar reasons, you must surely be willing to discuss America's own human rights abuses in a similar light.

No? Then the moral authority you claim does not exist.
Bizarrely, at University in the UK, we had a student TV station and it used a BBC Micro for caption generation. My ZX Spectrum had a microdrive attached (the new hotness, flaky as hell but much much faster than loading from tape) I remember writing something that let the Spectrum act as a fileserver for the BBC micro over its serial port. Good times.
> 2. Using a mental image

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

There are many who are unable to form images in their mind. Aphantasia isn't rare. But it's also not universal and people with aphantasia somehow manage to communicate to those without well enough most of the time. Perhaps then language isn't just visual images or purely mathematical abstractions.

I think the view of Wilfrid Sellars, basically language as a collectively-authored set of referents to a non-visual conceptual "picture" of reality, matches well with what you're saying here.
Dunno man, raising kids is hard work. Although I heard incremental difficulty of raising more than 2 is sub-linear.
Women don't need to be off work for the entire pregnancy nor the entire year after giving birth, though. If you are splitting your maternity leave with your spouse, you might not take an entire year off. You might just take the time that pays you more instead of being paid less: I don't know how it is other places, but you aren't getting paid for maternity leave if you don't work. (IIRC, in norway, the man doesn't get much leave if the woman isn't working).

Your job is probably protected while on maternity leave too.

I*d say that one of the main difficulties with 12 pregnancies is the actual pregnancies - they are hard on the body and honestly, it isn't recommended that folks have a pregnancy a year - if one even is able to have so many. The more likely situation is that having 12 children means some of those children are fosters or adoptions. And at that point, I don't actually care if someone has 12 children so long as they are good parents.
Wait what?!
I’ve got so many questions.

How exactly does a Taxi driver coordinate with guards? At what point did you discover the scheme? You were nearly blackmailed and just threw away the evidence?

How does the Airport guard blackmail you? How goes he expect to get paid? Why go through this and not just blackmail the actual legitimate drug users?
Not completely true though. Salary caps are in place that restrict the amount you can get. While for full time parental leave that's capped at 1800 Euro/months, for part time they restrict the eligible amount you're allowed to earn. For anyone working in tech that means if you work part time you're likely to get only 150 Euro per month, even if you only make half the money. Not really better than just reducing your hours outside of parental leave.
Random question, but are you a relatively strong supporter of Wikileaks? I only ask as I was looking into "Wikileaks Community"(I think was the term), a group of people who would do in depth articles on the documents the group releases, after the fact.
That ZX81 manual was a great book. Just seeing the cover made my heart beat a little faster.
IIRC free childcare results in higher fertility though.
did you read my comment about Southern Airways Flight 49?

its not just about things being bad when an airliner crashes, but about the additional risk incurred.

if I can choose between a nuclear power plant getting hit 10km from me, or some silane also 10km from me, I'd know what I'd dissaprove of most.

if I can choose between leaving for the next generations a location where surface storage was hit by an airliner, or where some silane gas was used being hit by an airliner, I'd know what I prefer to leave behind for them...

The same as any FFT, but accelerated; with the tradeoff that the cost of moving data from and to the GPU needs to be amortized.
It's also a good proof of concept for other kinds of GPU computations.
I really like this project, so thanks for making it!

One improvement that I can think of is to be able to see the license the icon is released under next to the icon. Another is to filter by available license types.
> News sites need to band together and use a consolidated billing system

Yes. Although it carries a bit of risk - what happens when VISA does to you what they did to Wikileaks? - some consolidation of backend services is inevitable.

> where you refill it when it gets low

Eff no. "Top-up" schemes are annoying as hell, from a consumer perspective.

It makes more sense to run some sort of exchange, where you register a credit card once and then don't actually trigger payment until it's economically convenient to do so (e.g. when you've "spent" $5 or $10, so card fees won't kill your margins). The exchange takes up some risk (effectively fronting $4.99 per user), but the inconvenience for consumers is very low and there is no friction. I think this would be very popular.
Since when are all the technically inclined people software "engineers"?
Do i have to keep it installed or is it a one-off thing
I believe it inherits the same pruning behavior of Borg itself.

I don't know the architecture of Borg storage too closely, but I assume that since it is all end-to-end encrypted, Borgbase cannot do the pruning for you.

If you use append-only keys, they can't (destructively) prune, you have to use regular keys to do that.
Uh, no, it's not. The shaders are clearly part of the work, so you need to make sure that the shaders are "dynamically linked"; i.e. can be replaced by the end user with their own version in order to comply with the terms of the LGPL.
A similar thing is happening to me right now. Me and my Boss are setting up a seperate company with 50/50 equity to attempt the project. He's essentially investing in the company by way of paying me my regular salary as it's being built. If they're offering you no ownership potential it doesn't seem very fair..

NextCloud in the 90's ...?

I think the point is not about "add an abstraction layer" and "the problem is gone".

You could make a tar.gz of a chroot in the 90's too, or you could make a snapshot of an VM. Or you could have an abstraction layer too (I did a lot for provisioning apache+mysql) like: addwebserver.sh "hostname", and addvhost.sh "customdomain" (which also included the php thing, backups, and compliant log rotation).

I think the main point here was about the fact that UNIX (and internet) was more "easier to teach" because it was more simple.

Or... do we need to understand and install docker, in order to teach to "list files" in the first day?
It makes sense according to the Sith Rule of Two.

Other countries historically accompanying the US in the top GDP pair included the soviet union and japan, so no surprise that today china would get the two minutes hate.

(right now I'd say india is too underdeveloped and too important a part of Oceania, but assuming the US remains in a position to believe it embodies power two or three decades from now, we'll see if india gets the hate, too.)

> Still only 2% of men take the leave, while 42% of women do [1].
> I can only speculate as to why.

This is actually pretty simple: Germany's culture is still deeply rooted into old gender roles - father provider and mother educator.

To give a context of the culture and legal system, as of today, unmarried fathers don't get legal custody automatically, and if they apply and the mother refuses, they need to go to court. This is even a recent change; until 2009, if the mother refused, there was no chance, and until 2013, the father had to go to the European Court of Human Rights.

Germany has a very surprising family culture in the Northern Europe context - the surrounding countries are considerably more progressive. An educated guess is that the Nazi regime promoted the father provider/mother educator model, and it's taking a very long time to move on.
It sucks, but there's a lot of people that have a lifestyle like that - the military, long-distance truckers, airline staff, people that travel internationally for their job, etc. It works for a lot of people.

It does not take more skill to build a site without JS, only more restraint

> If browsers performed like in 2010[1],we wouldnt have a lot of apps online. I am not talking about unicorn SaaS apps. I am talking about the local county or state government making things available online. The small business putting an app together beyond a basic website.

Less "apps" and more "basic" websites is exactly what should be encouraged.
I clicked through the first link because I wanted to see what was "funny" about it. Turns out, the way you simulate a Turing machine on the Z3 is very similar to the execution model of AWS step functions.

The enormous capital costs demonstrates how expensive it makes solar and wind in simple terms. Even if we measure in terms of cost per watt hour stored and drawn over the lifetime of the batter it's still hugely expensive. Most batteries can support 300 to 1,000 charge and discharge cycles. So in terms of overall cost of storage, that's still in the range of $200 to $700 per MWh of energy stored and drawn over the lifetime of the battery.

This point is largely moot because we don't even have the manufacturing capacity to deliver the amount of batteries required. We only build 300 GWh of batteries globally each year. To reach 12 hours of storage, the US would need 6 TWh - 20 years of global production at current production rates.
For the vast majority of people getting rid of the commute is the main benefit. It's also good for the environment, for everyone's health and it reduces transit times for everyone specially during scholar season. If you are only required to travel once a month you can live almost every where, including other countries at least in Europe. If you are required once a week you certainly can afford better housing than the city center. So maybe you will not able to relocate to Thailand and work for Google (which would be great I admit if I were younger) but you are in the 0.01%. Most people I know prefer an hybrid model.

Here's a possible scenario based on the OPs story.

Two brothers - one works as a taxi driver, the other as an airport guard.

The taxi brother inserts small packs of cocaine in the bags of his passengers. Then texts his airport guard brother a description of the passenger and bag he inserted the drug in.

The passenger arrives at the security check and his bag gets pulled out.

The airport guard finds the drugs and puts the passenger in a room somewhere in the airport. The passenger now gets an option: pay a nice bribe and board the plane, or don't and spend the night there with the option of landing in a Thai jail.

Passenger decides to opt for the bribe (at that point, who wouldn't) - even though they know full well they didn't carry any drugs.

The airport guard brother pockets the $XXXX and the passenger hightails it out of there. Scared shitless.

Brother and brother meet at a bar later and share their spoils, celebrating with a nice meal and a few too many drinks.

Rinse and repeat. Could work with nephews, friends, family - it's probably not that hard.
