It feels like maybe there us an excessive focus on the RPC in gRPC. You operate upon services, not objects like many traditional RPC systems (RMI, for example).

Do people really use gRPC in a stateful way? Wasn't one of the issues with old schools RPC that you pretended RPC objects were local objects? Here you do the opposite, aknowledge that objects are remote and you only have a copy of it locally.

> Ideally, you mostly want to spend time and effort on higher pursuits than managing or building your own platform.

I've run openstack for a while and... realistically if you run a platform, you need to have people/time to manage it. I understand from conversations about k8s that is not that much different.
It's going to have possible benefits for a small niche of application types. If the 3rd party services you use, accept large amounts of normally uncompressed data that is a viable candidate for transport compression, and they don't support it: that's on them. The technology is there to do it.

As for if I've "tested it". No. Because as I said: this is going to benefit only a small niche of application types. The vast majority of applications built by the vast majority of developers are going to unlikely to see any benefit at all from this type of compression, because it's not a common pattern.

Add to that, most applications are likely running in an environment where spending precious CPU cycles to compress data to send over a pipe that they're unlikely to saturate anyway, is not a winning proposition.
If the whole UK energy grid could become fossil free, and the only cost would be a 2x increase in costs, then that would be to me a fair price to pay.

A large number of people would die as a result of such a policy. Fuel poverty is already a significant problem, the UK government gives out 'winter fuel payment' benefits to some, but doubling the price of energy would push a lot of elderly, infirm, and poor people to stop heating their homes.

This idea would need to come with nationalised energy costs for it to work.

Even assuming that CO2 is the only relevant externality here (and not, say, electronic waste, mining runoff, chemicals used during manufacturing...), we don't have accurate models that can tell you a dollar cost per ton CO2. Estimates I've seen range from "climate change is not real" to 600 Euros.

On the other hand you only have to disassemble an iPhone and check the availability of replacement parts to see whether it's repairable or not. It's easy to say exactly what damage can be repaired and what not. Very little room for discussion.

The mechanisms in Windows changed for doing some parts of it - as far as I recall it was due to the access controls (UAC) and DRM around the Window Manager (DWM) but it was a while ago, some vendors have figured out parts of working around DWM again - see the VR desktop mentioned and Stardock WindowFX.

I am not saying that the ones that X have are great or even that good to begin with. A better set could have likely avoided the ICCCM etc. but you can do a lot with just reparent+position - WMs are mostly normal clients after all.

Compare that to say the practically obligatory 'xdg_wm_base' specification, you are much more locked down, and the objects to work with are strongly interconnected. If you want to work around that as a 3rd party developer it's a political process + waiting for n*m compositors and toolkits to adapt.

People tend to miss that Arcan is a Wayland compositor as well, but those clients gets a special path where the WM has to follow extra sets of rules because of it.

I see it as a gradient. Neither is entirely Green (Mechanism) or Red (Policy) but if you look at the sets of both sides and position, I doubt you'll assign the same colors.

> To be clear, giuliani has refused to give the contents to anyone in the press.

I can't speak for Giuliani, and I agree that his involvement in this is strange, but NYP, Daily Caller, and National Pulse have all offered to share the contents of the drive with other journalists. I don't know to what extent they have been taken up on it.

> The Daily Caller (an extension of the Trump campaign) isn't to be trusted. No rational person would expect this to prove anything.

To assume that the news agencies that ran with the Steele dossier or the "Fine People" hoax have some fundamentally higher standard of journalistic standards than smaller right-wing publications is a bit rich. But I fully realize you wouldn't trust them directly. The point is that it's not just the reputation of these outlets now, but people without a partisan axe to grind like Robert Graham[1] and Tony Bobulinski who are providing evidence for the authenticity of the emails recovered.

> Also, Hunter's emails and photos were circulated in Ukraine last year to the highest bidder.

Irrelevant. All evidence so far points to the laptop (which is genuinely Hunter Biden's) being the source of these emails. The DOJ has already acknowledged that it received (what I believe is the original) laptop drive, and they have been pursuing an active criminal investigation against Hunter since last year. The DOJ, State Department, and DNI all have said there is no evidence of foreign involvement, and even a Washington Post journalist has acknowledged that this likely isn't the result of foreign interference.

> And no one is buying it.

Wishful thinking.

A suggestion - Stop burying the lede. Neither this post not the front page of your brand vantage website say what your service actually does, or what problem it solves. Instead it piles jargon on top of jargon and seems obsessed with talking about brands, despite the product you are offering not having anything to do with brands or branding. On mobile at least all that is above the fold on Brandvantage is a meaningless statement: "Data driven brands stand out" That seems to have no connection to the service you are actually offering - a way of extracting structured data from websites. It wasn't until I got to your use case page on brand vantage via the bottom footer that I managed to work out what your product does, which actually looks cool! You might have started by trying to build a "digital brand expert" Whatever that is, but that isn't what you've ended up with so I'd suggest to stop viewing and promoting it via this lens.
You won’t get an answer to that.

Large scale electricity storage other than hydro power doesn’t exist and is extremely unlikely to materialize anytime in the near future.

Some advocates of renewables argue that “Power2Gas” is an option but they completely underestimate the amount of energy large countries need to store.

In Germany, for example, the daily electricity consumption is 1600 GWh. Converting that into methane would require to produce 3.5 million gas trucks filled with methane - for just a day.

And Germany’s current total hydro capacity is about 40 GWh, so only 1/40 of what we need of storage for a single day.

I don’t see a future for 100% renewables other than for small countries like Norway, Austria or Iceland who have lots of mountains for hydro power but only a fraction of the population of Germany or even the US.

I think there's a few possible angles here.

* Cheap and Expensive as a subjective thing. Paying a $10 per month fridge bill in perpetuity may feel less uncomfortable than the sudden expense of a $700 fridge every 8 years, even though the latter is cheaper.

* A service can take some of the bad-decision factors out of it. Many appliances are panic-bought when the previous unit fails, rather than waiting for the price to bottom out. A predictable lease price and service organization avoids that risk. It might not be as cheap as the cheapest unit on the best day, but it's competitive with a mid-line product.

* The rental service product could benefit from economies of scale and standardization that direct-to-consumer brands don't offer. Whirlpool sells a few dozen different 25-cubic-foot fridges, with constant model churn. Any given model may only have a total run of a couple thousand units. Fridge-as-a-service may only offer one, and offer it for 10 years, allowing slower amortization of engineering costs and less expensive service/spares management.

* A structured end-of-life program could bring down the cost of leasing. After five years, they swap out the old fridge, but then they can refurbish it and either return it to the lease pool or resell it in a less ad-hoc manner than listing individual units on Craigslist.

I have a revenue of around $2500 for my productized SaaS SEO business with 20% profit margin. I sell SEO, Content and Graphic design service at a fixed rate of $599/month to SME's.

In this amount I provide 4000 words of content, 6 good quality graphics and few quality backlinks. Anything on top of this is a paid add-on.

I have hired a team of SEO Specialists, Content Writers and Graphic Designers. Most of my revenue goes in paying their salaries.

I found few takers(all dentists) of my service from Australia.

The best thing is that I have not even built any website or any FB, Instagram Page and still I am making this money through my old contacts.

I guess with my website launching in next few days, I should be able to sell even more and reach to around 100 customers in next year or two.

I'm Asian, the guy didn't ask for a scientific study. He just asked for clarification which you did give in the second paragraph. Give him a break.

Yeah asians are victims of racism, but that doesn't preclude other races from criticising a statement for being unclear.

I would say to the parent parent poster that next time you can ask those questions without directly stating that the comment was: "extremely vague, charged, and lacking in nuance." Even though I agree that what you said is true, most humans are incapable of ingesting those words in an unbiased way and will likely misinterpret it as an insult. Ironically, the comment itself was "lacking in nuance."
The thing that annoys me as a software engineer with background in mathematics is that it's hard to find pure transformation formulae between these geodesic coordinate systems, or at least was 5+ years ago when I last played with it.

I get all the gotchas, but formula is much easier for me to get my head around rather than these articles which are centered around me having to learn a lot of terminology just to be able to do a transformation between coordinate systems. Even if that formula was accompanied with a correction table for particular use cases.

I have a different story of pain medication gone awry.

My wife had surgery and there was a hydromporphone pump where she could press a button. The button was then blocked for eight minutes. She didn't understand the system. Then I realized that it had two different beeps, one if the pump delivered a bolus and the different one if the pump was blocked. My wife and I we are both Deaf so we just didn't know. I requested then the pump turned around so she could have a look at the GUI of the pump.

But my wife already lost her confidence, refused to press the button and a few hours later the hospital removed that contraption completely and switched to a different regimen.
> do you think the two are inseparable?

Yes, evidently, unless you arrest and prosecute the rioters and looters, which is something "progressive" DAs refuse to do.

> did indeed condemn the rioters

If you read the article, you will see that she did not. She said that they "should not be confised" with protesters, but did not condemn them explicitly. Nor could she condemn, because the official democratic narrative is that the protests are "fiery but peaceful", which they're anything but.
The fact that some of this content may have been available in Ukraine does not me Ukraine was the actual source. All evidence points to a legimately Biden-owned laptop being the source:

- No one in the Biden campaign has denied the laptop belonged to Hunter or the authenticity of the emails

- Hunter's lawyers asked for the laptop back

- The FBI confirmed that it has possession of Hunter Biden's laptop

- FBI and DOJ agree that the laptop and emails were not a part of a Russian disinformation campaign.[1]

Stephen Wolfram takes that view too, but it seems like a fairly narrow lens to peer at the universe through. I suspect it may be true, but that doesn't even mean it's necessarily particularly useful for solving many classes of problems. In fact, are there any actual problems in Physics that have been solved by this approach?

Lots of things are true that aren't much use. Much of science, including physics doesn't describe computational processes. Does that make most of science and physics equally useless?

If we keep focusing on identity instead of merit, everyone will feel discriminated and miserable. It's not like the "majority" vilified by the media is the army of clones. If you look closer, you'll see that someone is shy, someone else can't tolerate loud sounds, others get stage fright, or have a whiny voice, or an asymmetric face or whatever. It just used to be that people would focus on their strong sides, and find something useful they could bring to the table based on them, so others would respect them regardless of their weaknesses, and everyone was happy. But now we are celebrating the demise of merit, standardization of a human-hour billed at a minimum wage, and are spending most of our time fighting over who's a bigger victim.
I think you’ll find that’s strictly an American definition of “Asian”.

In the UK “Asian” definitely includes people from the Indian sub-continent. See the BBC Asian Network for the example.

Also your claims about genetic similarities and differences between races will need some supporting evidence as they sounds very much like personal opinion.
"Another thing that could be useful is productivity metrics of hours spent in meetings"

In my work I am required to log my day-to-day activity (for external client billing), including all of my time in meetings. This time breakdown goes into my monthly report. I do not call any meetings. It is always the PM or another manager setting up meetings and wanting me to be in it. The PM, and the CTO, and other higher ups get very upset, at me, when they see that I log between 40 and 90 hours per month in meetings. I am to blame for this apparently. And they also wonder why development is slow. But this is also a case of more managers than there are developers. It is also why I am looking to move on at the earliest opportunity.
It's not just $5 per month, it's $5 on top of all the other subscription services with their low, low monthly costs. Death of 1000 cuts.

A service must be really compelling and unique to persuade people to commit to an open-ended subscription on top of everything else crying for their dollars.

That's why the likes of Apple are racing to bundle their services for a single monthly family fee, they're getting ahead of 'subscription fatigue' where the mental and financial burden of managing a plethora of small monthly charges becomes overwhelming.

It's almost like the media is deliberately choosing a divisive angle at every problem. COVID impacts small businesses regardless of their owners' race or gender or sexual preference. It's a perfect "common enemy" that would normally help people unite. Like finding and sharing clever ways of reducing transmission while running your shop, or moving as many things as possible online. But nope, this wouldn't get as many clicks as forcing people to clash over their differences instead of working together in search of a common solution. Divide-and-conquer in action.

I’m not saying anything regarding general anti-Asian discrimination in America. (On that point, I agree with others in this thread: they face discrimination in education and tech jobs, among other places).

But that’s not at all related to what I asked. I simply asked for clarification between BLM and anti-asian violence. I don’t need a peer-reviewed study.

That's fair feedback. When I went about this whole process, I thought I was doing it the right way by setting up business entities with the name, getting a trademark and the various legal sides of things all on BrandVantage because I really thought the "digital brand expert" is what I was going to launch with. My pivot for structured data from websites definitely makes the name not lineup well with what I'm offering now.

The idea was that the data one could gather from sites (and eventually news articles, products and companies) would be able to help businesses with their brands (competitor analysis et al). The whole "data driven brands stand out", that was trying to signal to a certain type of business (ones that use analytics or other data sources to guide their business decisions) that this could be a useful tool for them.

I'm probably too emotionally and financially invested in the name to change it but yeah, I'll likely refactor the content to push the structured data angle harder (maybe bring a copy of the use cases information to the homepage) and just deal with the name not lining up to the product.
Actually I think most users would vote for a more reliable device over a repairable one. If using more glue means getting the phone wet is less likely to damage it or stops it breaking when dropped then that's a good tradoff. The fact my aging phone is still getting updates is more important than being able to replace the camera.

I tend to buy my devices second hand so knowing it's difficult for a repairer to use sub standard parts is also good.
