Most definitely cia has a history with manipulating information. But at the point of information, how do you know what to even trust at any level? Evidence can be provided for anything. Information and disinformation all at the same time. This is only increasing - how will anyone be able to sort themselves out? I’m not so sure it’s possible.

For that it has to be established that TikTok is some type of malicious spyware to the satisfaction of US courts and legal system, which hasn't been done.
Off-topic but I'm noticing that every comment of yours on this post shows up as greyed-out and 'dead' immediately after you post, within minutes. There's not enough time for people to downvote and in any case none of your comments are downvote-worthy. I've been 'vouching' for your comments so others can read them. Maybe something @dang can look into?
r/India has extremely cynical view of current administration. I was a leftist, That sub-reddit is extreme left.
I agree this is a sham trial. But why do you say so?

You do not mean, as I think, that Julian Assange is simply an actor, and that the whole thing has been a charade rolled out by 3-letter agencies, from start to finish.
First time I've heard about "hedonic treadmill". Found a little bit of information about the concept, very interesting, but can't seem to find a similar concept/translation in spanish.
That's how much the storage added to the price of power in the bid, not the capital cost of the batteries.
GNU isn't Unix, for one thing. The GNU project intentionally flaunts historic behaviour in favour of pragmatism. I also find this line maddening:

>in some versions of Linux ls

Do you mean "in some configurations of GNU ls"?
I wonder if educating people about computers these days, might have something to do with intentionally vague and gatekeeping language.
Please don’t spread this fake information. 65% is plain wrong! 1800€ is maximum. For tech workers it’s closer to 35%.

I have been living and working in Thailand for more than a year now, and I never had similar issues in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, etc... I'm sorry for what happned to this guest, and I think that if we travel to a country we should be a litle bit aware of their cultures and respectful to their laws.

That said, jail was extreme in this case, and a warning would've been sufficient in my opinion.
Generators act as a flywheel and store energy. If you abruptly disconnect them that energy still has to go somewhere.
It was simpler to teach Unix because what we expected from Unix back then was simpler to what we expect from Unix these days.

Back then we expected programs like: `telnet`. A program that can be developed by one person (or a few at most) and requires just a few tools to be developed (gcc, gdb, vim, make).

Nowadays we expected programs like: `Twitter`. A program that cannot be developed by one person but hundreds (don't ask me why, I don't get it either), and requires hundreds of tools to be developed (html, css, sass, ruby, ror, ansible, git, javascript, babel, docker, docker-compose, yaml, json, make, vscode, kubernetes(?), mysql, nginx, ...).
1. It's slightly less than 2x, not 10x.

2. Countries like the Netherlands that don't have the space for sufficient on-shore wind have to go to off-shore wind, which is actually more expensive than nuclear energy.

3. We'd be making actual progress instead of fighting residents and nature preservation for every plot of land again and again, auctioning land leases for every few megawatts, and it all just taking forever (basically how the rollout is going in most countries right now). But in the end it's cheaper yeah! Just that we can take more than a decade to build a few plants and we'll still be faster than with only wind and solar (exception: if you're in a country with water and significant height differences, by all means choose that over nuclear). Let's first get CO2-neutral, which is an asap job, with any means not more expensive than off-shore wind (we're building that anyway so apparently anything cheaper will do) and then worry about how to get to a final, perfect state.
This is real social gaming..
I would not say I'm a strong supporter of Wikileaks, although I do believe their leaks have been critical in adjusting and making more realistic our views on the wars in Iraq et al, as well as exposing government overreach in the forms of extraordinary rendition, torture, and flagrant breaches of the laws of war.

What bothers me most about this case is A: that America is doing this very much political hounding of a journalist becaues they were embarassed by them. B: the readiness of the UK to roll over and destroy its own justice system. First by having the judge be at the very least biased, but more likely having the judgement ready to extradite Assange. Secondly by having this public trial be very much private. First by limiting the public seats in the trial to less than a dozen and then also by excluding all NGOs and news sources who'd be critical of this sham. Lastly by the frankly horrendous treatment of Assange. Both by the conditions in which he's been kept in prison, putting him in a glass box so he can't hear the trial nor communicate with his legal team, but also by things like limiting the time he can spend with his legal team while awaiting the trial, to the point where the defense team wasn't sure they'd be able to do enough prep at all.

There is an issue of correct evaluation of quality though. You might not think an article was worth paying for as you read it, but then it will give you an edge in some conversation later on. This accrues the more articles you read - maybe each item is not earth-shattering in itself, but together they paint you a picture that actually informs your actions.
I just checked some prices for small scale PV farms you can plant to your house.
It's 16,83 euro-cent for the PV per KWH and 23,74 euro-cent for the storage.
Production is 10KWH, storage is 11KWH.

So if we (naively) multiply by 1000 we get 23,74€/MWh. And that is for the home market. I know battery storage doesn't scale linearly, but also if you were to build this as a highly-scaled farm, I'm sure prices would also drop as well.

The Podcast "Alles gesagt" did an Interview with Marco Börris (Founder of StarOffice). Mind you the Interview is 6h long but absolutely worth it. Later Mr. Börris was working for Yahoo and was involved in Yahoos side of the Development of the first iPhone. He has some really interesting stories to tell.

sir but then you lose out on the Culture.
Do we have any examples of working renewables + storage? Because as far as I know, nobody in the world ever built grid scale storage. There are no proven commercial solutions available, no expertise built.

There might not even be enough lithium on the planet to support all of this, who knows.

Relying on something unproven to swoop in and save us ... might as well wait for fusion, right? In the end, what you're doing is extending the reign of fossil fuels and destroying the world.
"Europe" in the sense you speak of just isn't.

EU as an economic space has huge internal periphery with all the typical problems thereof (high unemployment, flight of young qualified workforce elsewhere). It is quite easy to visualize, actually.

My wife is a huge fan of Spanish culture. We travel there often (pre-Covid, but hopefully also post-Covid). Andalucía is by far the worst region in Western Europe I have seen, as far as hopelessness and lack of future prospects goes.

Did it just work? Were there never any dependency issues or unsolvable complexities? Or dependencies that were solved differently when run a second time leading to a different output of software?

The "whole computer" analogy works because I can drag it anywhere, plug it in and it runs exactly as intended. I can even copy it and run in 1000 times in parallel. When people complain about overkill I start talking about shared layers.
The building costs are high because noone builds them. It's always expensive when each project is a "first" for the people involved.

> once it's completed will provide energy for 10x the current cost of solar/wind.

Ah right that must be why electricity costs in Germany are so high and so low in France LOL
Consider two possibilities.

1. Signal says "SGX prevents us from knowing what's in the enclave" and the Man accepts that. SGX provides legal safety, even if its technical safety might be in dispute. Not interesting. So skip to the other branch:

2. Signal says "SGX prevents us from knowing what's in the enclave" and the Man does not accept that. Now what. What can the Man do? Force Intel to break SGX and/or reveal weaknesses that affect Signal's SGX usage? Force Signal to not use SGX?

If the Man were to tell Moxie how to break SGX, I personally think that Moxie would make that public at the first opportunity. If the Man were to forbid the use of SGX, what would the ban cover? "CPUs physically located within <name of country> may not use SGX" or some attempt at a worldwide ban? Perhaps a ban on <country>'s citizens against using services located anywhere in the world that involve SGX?
True.

I will say though that my Leaf was the local equivalent of about $8k US and is actually worth more now than when I bought it so would thoroughly recommend the used route with EVs for anyone considering it.

> I agree this is a sham trial. But why do you say so?

From all reporting I've read on it, also besides Murray's, it's been very clear that long before this trial has started the judgement to extradite Assange was already made.

> You do not mean, as I think, that Julian Assange is simply an actor, and that the whole thing has been a charade rolled out by 3-letter agencies, from start to finish.

I do not believe that Assange is an actor. What would the alphabet soup even gain by doing this whole circus?
This is the only "life advice" that i have framed and put up in my room. Very idealistic and hard to live up to (we are biological Animals after all) but nevertheless something we should all strive towards.

While I agree your situation sounds better, I had zero days (and due to work being shitty, barely saw my son for the first 3 months), so I'd call it a successful start.
Well, sure, we are lucky that the waste from nuclear reactors is primarily solid heavy metals rather than fly ash or anything else, so we can just plunk them into pools and forget about them for a while. But eventually it makes sense to do something with all that waste.
Google is actually notoriously bad at office and capacity planning. Over the years, significant chunks of time, my teams were literally sitting in hallways. Usually it’s impossible to book a meeting room, and so on.

Basically problems like this are not easily quantifiable and nobody gets bad review because of this, so they don’t get solved.
Has anybody else noticed that this pro-nuclear "news" seems rather orchestrated throughout Europe/"The West"? These pro-nuclear ideas have recently been in the news and hot in politics in at least 4 European countries that I frequent and where I speak the language. All around the same time.

Is this manufacturing consent in action? Who's behind this and why?

There are no new arguments or information that I see for or against nuclear in the past few decades. And all of a sudden now "we" (as in: the main stream media) realize that "maybe nuclear isn't so bad". What is this?

Disclaimer: I personally think nuclear is the least evil of all energy conversion methods that we can currently use. But I have had this opinion for at least 15 years.
I'd say that as someone who actually has traveled outside their country, this list seems pretty fair to me ( at least for the countries I have traveled to or have friends/family staying in). what is your exact bone of contention? Methodology or specific country's ranking?
The other thing is that 1500 MW solar with capacity factor of 11 % (that's number for Germany) is going to deliver significantly less energy than 1500 MW nuclear plant with capacity factor 98 %.
Zuse is one of the more underappreciated figures in the foundational periods of computer science due to this fact.

I find it quite interesting that the fact that he was on the losing side of that war meant that he had to make due with limited resources which positively influenced his design choices and as such shaped his perspectives of what computers can and should be.

Neil Gershenfeld at the MIT Center for Bits and Atoms has often said that 'computer science is one of the worst things to happen to either computing or science. The canon of computer science that's currently taught prematurely froze a model of computation based on 1950s technology'

I think you can see a sort of stunted alternate path of computation and the connection it has to the physical world in the kinds of projects that Zuse participated in post WWII:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odwgpKRnWM8

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pxv4vDMOFCo

For various reasons Turing captures the contemporary pop culture imagination but I have a feeling that historians in 50-100 years will look back at Zuse as being equally if not more so influential.

I bet that Von Neumann would get a chuckle at how influential his throw away architecture ended up being to our society and would agree with Gershenfeld about how unfortunate it is that its success prematurely froze the model of computation.
I would go as far as to say the only thing that made newspapers relevant was distribution.

The readers have a direct relationship with authors now. They follow them on Twitter, YouTube, blogs, etc. Authors of news are no longer full-time journalists, but everyone online. Everything is news and everyone is an author.

Why pay the NYT to tell you what people will tell you on Twitter?

Why pay a local paper to tell you about a fire or protest the next day, when people will post a video online as it happens?

The post-Internet generations don’t even watch TV or read newspapers at all.
Germany can't do it within it's own borders. SuedLink is basically a failure and if it ends up happening it's more of a miracle.

Copying another comment of mine since you're making the exact same argument as a sibling comment:

Countries like the Netherlands that don't have the space for sufficient on-shore wind have to go to off-shore wind, which is actually more expensive than nuclear energy.

With nuclear we'd be making faster progress instead of fighting residents and nature preservation for every plot of land again and again, auctioning land leases for every few megawatts, and it all just taking forever (basically how the rollout is going in most countries right now). But in the end it's cheaper yeah!

Oh please, is that all? Who hasn't created a Facebook account to browse groups or a Linked-In to see jobs? This has nothing to do with privacy and more with working around shitty walled gardens. Fuck Linked-In.
It's been a while... but I'm pretty sure the opening of the book explained that there was a theory that should both the question and the answer exist in the same universe, it would instantly collapse on itself and begin anew.

There was also a theory that this had already happened.

Eletrifying heating helps a lot if you integrate it with a smart grid. People generally don't care whether their home is 21 or 23 degrees warm, but the difference enables a lot of load shifting. I know people who take advantage of this today. This is btw, also true for many industrial processes.

You'd integrate your car battery with the grid because you'd get cheaper charging in return, or some other form of monetary reward.
I’ll definitely check this out, I was looking for something very similar to this! It’d be nice to have an auto-categorize field too.

Why is the father the second parent in all of this? The implication in your reply is that the mother is the "primary" parent.

> In all pragmatism, there's no need for 'a second parent' to take 30 days off, and I'll bet most guys, while they wouldn't mind 'some time' - probably don't need or want 30 days.

Speaking of subjective opinions, here's another one.

Nobody is forcing a parent to take 30 days, or 3 months off to spend with a child. If you get the time off and want to spend it golfing, go for it. But it means that the large number of fathers who _do_ want to take time off are now able to, and more importantly, a mother isn't forced to take 6-9 months out and suffer in their career for it.
Some 3,500 U.S. companies sue over Trump-imposed Chinese tariffs
That's true. Lots of oil companies have gone bankrupt.
3) biology (i.e. sex is not a social construct)

everything else being equal - i.e. both parents having the same salary, career prospects, desire to work vs. spend time with baby, energy levels, etc. - it's simply more efficient for the woman to take care of the baby, as she's the only one that can feed it (or, more specifically, her feeding the baby is very likely medically better than using baby food)
I don't see a solution to the subscription vs micropayment problem, but I wonder if we can solve three problems with one solution.

We have a problem where "who is a journalist?" is not defined.

We have another problem that the advertising model of paying for journalism isn't going to work (as TFA points out), and readers need to start paying for their news.

We have another problem that bad actors in our society are paying for misinformation to be spread in order to warp people's political perceptions.

So... can we:

Define a journalist as someone who makes their entire living from selling articles that they write to their readers (also applies to videos/podcasts/radio/etc). And by extension, a "news organisation" is one that sells news articles to its readers (and pays journalists to write them).

Define a difference between "news" - articles that readers pay for, and "fake news" - articles that are paid for by a sponsor organisation.

Organisations that don't charge their readers are still able to publish whatever they like. But they're not considered "news" organisations. The credibility that goes with printing actual paper moves to selling the stories, not the adverts.

Citing or quoting an article that isn't paid for results in a "but that's not news, it's promotional bullshit" - if someone is paying to have this published, then clearly they have a reason for that, and that reason is probably not because it's the truth (otherwise they wouldn't need to pay to publish it).

Forcing news organisations to make their readers and not their advertisers or owners their primary customer would definitely improve the quality of news.

It used to be an ideal choice, but as article correctly mentions - we killed it. First some websites got way too greedy with annoying and harmful ads, then the adblockers cut all ad revenue to maybe 1/3 of what it was and then Google and Facebook took over.
