Except the reason that Biden isn't doing as great as he could be is because he's too centrist. He isn't getting enough of the far-left vote because of their apathy towards his agenda, which does not reach far enough by far.

As an example, Florida did not vote for Biden. Not because he's too left, but because he's not left enough. The proof for this is that they also just voted to increase the minimum wage to $15. The democrats wanted a candidate with broader appeal than Bernie, but they only succeeded in alienating the social-conservatives even further.
Benchmark for Interpreted Languages Implementations
I'm working with a team that makes a web based word-processor (google docs alternative) [1]. One of my long term goal is to rewrite the document rendering code in a stack that allows me to render for multiple platforms (android, iOS, MacOS, Windows, Linux) using a single codebase.

Right now I'm studying how Flutter has achieved this using Skia. I'm also following JetBrains Compose, but as of the moment it only seems to support desktop native apps. How is this one different from Flutter/JetBrains Compose?

That's for webassembly. None of that matters for most applications on the other platforms it targets.

And even for webassembly, 4.39 MB is not prohibitive for some use cases. Specially with caching. I bet the average medium blog loads more than that.

I wouldn't be so quick on dismissing a solution.

> I will admit that after the RIAA/youtube-dl story I felt that it confirmed my belief that it was a mistake for anyone to host anything on US based servers. This takedown with complete lack of transparency from a French provider (OVH) really proves me wrong.

There is a huge difference between these two cases. Most hosting providers in the world are not going to challenge law enforcement in their jurisdiction and will just cooperate. That's what OVH did, as everyone should have expected.

But at the same time most hosting providers in the world will oppose overreach of copyright trolls. That's what Github didn't do.

Still, if you need some minimal resilience it's never enough to rely on a single hosting provider from a single jurisdiction. Multiple different providers in different countries for frontend servers with some primitive DNS failover can easily solve this and similar problems.

I wouldn’t consider them far left in US political terms. West Coast and Northeast states and IL (i.e. strong Democrat states) do have parental leave and sick leave and better healthcare programs.

These are also the more populous states, so nationwide, I can easily imagine a significant portion, if not majority support these basic standards of living for their fellow countrymen.
Garmin Condemns the use of its products in military drones against Armenia
Well this is just outright confusing. The scale that Intel operates at means this product is going to be a drop in the bucket in terms of revenue which makes their enormous investments in dGPUs look a little silly. It fits in this really weird place where you want a little bit of extra GPU power for co-processing, but really very little extra power. I literally can't understand how this product justified the engineering effort. Which leaves us with the fact that this must be a first release of something much more significant, which means that they've been forced to rush it out the door because their main effort is behind (well 'technically' we did ship the first series of chips in this project in Q42020). However, if you watch what happens a lot in Intel - they release a compromised first version of something, that ties them to a concrete failure (this isn't going to make any money) which then allows the executive team to can the project.

Right... so only the most far-left states do it? And you're saying that this is an argument that it's not a far-left thing?

Nobody's saying it's as far-left as it's possible to go. But in US terms, it's about far-left as it goes.
I found the green/brown map particularly confusing at the time - glad it wasn't just me!

You also think that between HMG and the BBC someone would have done a run through to check if the slides displayed properly on a normal TV!
There's a bias there. You often hire consulting firms to do specific things.

If you're hiring PWC to do a Fit For Growth Transformation, that means you believe you need layoffs. The symptoms of are usually obvious: you're burning money, and you'll run out soon. They can be less obvious: You lose contracts based on cost, because your overhead is hire. You don't hire the PWC/FFG team if you believe you're poised for actual growth or need help hiring to move into new markets.

You can get their book. It says point-blank that FFG generally involves a 25% layoff. This isn't some big secret or inside story. It's just what they do.

The advertised value-add of PWC/FFG isn't to tell you that you need a layoff (you knew that already). The value-add is understanding how to structure that layoff. An ideal outcome of a layoff is that you've cut the corporate fat: people doing useless things with no value add. You've removed a big chunk of the corporate bureaucracy. You have faster, simpler, more agile business processes. When you want to do something, you don't need a 3-month approval from Jim in legal, Alice in finance, and Yoav in branding, since Jim, Alice, and Yoav no longer work there. On the other hand, parts of your business which contribute business value are left untouched.

Does it work? I don't know. But most executives go through this occasionally. As an executive, you're an expert on your own business. PWC/FFG has done layoffs over and over and over again. They've seen what can go right and what can go wrong. You're paying for that experience.

They wrote a commit message with Nat Friedman's email address using a design feature of git, but it was still a design feature of GitHub that took this non-gpg signed commit and linked it with Nat Frieman's account, making it appear very legitimate in the GitHub UI, without an option for him to change that.

4.39 MB in 50 requests is a showstopper on any mobile network, especially when alternative solutions do not have that problem. It is fair to assume some first time experiences will involve 7.5 seconds or more additional latency on 3G networks, double that for a poor signal areas.

We need to start ranking languages based on what people use them for.

Python is certainly #1 in ML, for example, but far from #1 in web.

I had a "which stack" argument with a client recently for a web server processing tons of data. He wanted to use Node (which I hate, but also use when performance doesn't matter because TypeScript is so good).

I showed him that the Node library ecosystem is actually pretty weak (many libraries, but most abandoned, single-contributor, and/or low-quality). Of course, browser libs for JS are amazing.

My point is just that mixing all these things together in popularity rankings is pretty meaningless.
Thank you for the reminder. I will indeed read them again.

> Second, even those who master those "subtle social cues" (which have the important feature of plausible deniability)

For people who pick up on these cues the point isn't plausible deniability but quick, effortless communication. If you demonstrate you can't pick up on the cues you are a less desirable match -- not undesirable but less desirable -- because people around you will have to put a lot more effort into communicating with you than they do with other people and there will be more instances of miscommunication. This is unpleasant. It's not fair that people with a communicative handicap should be found less desirable but them's the breaks. It isn't fair if you're born poor or graceless or self-centered or too fat or too thin or with ugly features or bad skin or a gut that produces too much gas or with an inclination to be cruel and so on ad infinitum. The people judging you know it isn't fair, but they also know there are other choices. Also, there are plenty of unfortunate women willing to give the unfortunate men a chance to show their good qualities.
I wonder if they rushed the slides because the presentation was moved from Monday to Sunday (because the news of the lockdown was leaked to the papers). It was a pretty confusing and over-long presentation in general.
Isn't there a huge difference between Google de-ranking a website in search, vs. Twitter etc. literally banning a link from being posted?

When you search, you are literally asking Google for their opinion on which sites to see. Any results page is a result of various decisions, it's hard to call it "censorship". But when someone posts on Twitter, and the platform literally doesn't let them post the link they want to, that seems to me to be far more egregious - and can definitely be called censorship.

So that which Google could come up with a left-wing site they de-ranked, and Twitter and Facebook couldn't, becomes even more damning for them. Their censorship is far more real.
To me, a useful definition of the "far"- prefix would mean that a small portion of the population supports it. I think it's clear that a very large, if not majority, portion of the US population supports the above mentioned measures, however, their federal votes are gerrymandered so that it's not actionable on the federal level.

Legalizing marijuana most definitely has majority support in the US, but few states have done it. But I wouldn't classify legalizing marijuana as a far left position.

You seem to be comparing construction costs of an experimental project to the LCOE (basically, utility rates) for a massively scaled and mature industry. Let's ignore the R&D costs it took us to get solar to its current state. According to https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=36813, the construction costs in 2016 for utility-scale solar plants were ~$2.5k per kilowatt, or ~$2.5M per megawatt.

> How many MW of solar panels can you buy for that $50M?

About 20MW. Definitely not 1000GW, which is what you would get by dividing $50, today's approx. solar power MWh LCOE, into $50M. From the tone of your reply it seems like you were assuming the latter.

Ignoring large jumps in the price of land, and ignoring potential taxes for their environmental impact (deserts and plains have ecosystems, too), solar and wind will likely be cheaper than fusion far into the future, even by optimistic fusion predictions. But it's still debatable whether it'll be so expensive that we shouldn't even bother making the investment. The LCOE of natural gas is 3x that of solar power today, and yet we're still building natural gas plants like crazy.

(FWIW, the LCOE for new fission plants as expensive as Vogtle Units 3 & 4, the former coming online next year, is comparable to natural gas. https://www.lazard.com/media/450784/lazards-levelized-cost-o... In China the LCOE seems to be closer to that of contemporary solar LCOEs. https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/10/6/2086/pdf Which explains why China has many more reactors under construction.)
If the proposal's aim was to increase protection then I would think that this what they would have proposed instead of explicitly and only proposing to remove the existing protection (as you quote).

> nobody "chooses" to use an Intel GPU in their computer.

I did. My laptop has i3-6157u CPU, I chose it due to the Intel Iris GPU there.

What you are missing are the Amazon API Gateway costs. I really liked my own calculations on Lambda costs similar to yours until I figured I'd need to use API Gateway too.

Edit: another thing is the amount of RAM used by functions. The CPU speed you get is proportional to RAM so if your code fits in the RAM but has poor performance, doubling the RAM is what you have to do. Another hidden cost.

I'm most interested in the the rust->iron electrolysis process - neither the article nor the video describes how that's done, except to mention that the process used clean electricity. Certainly it's possible, but I don't think there's much electrolytically produced iron today. I wonder if they're using a process that requires the oxide to be melted (very simple but needs really high temps) or a lower-temp, more chemically involved process. If they have a good-enough way to produce elemental iron, it seems like replacing an existing coal/gas fired iron smelter with a renewable electrolytic one would be a cool experiment too.
But that’s simply not true. Because Florida and Texas alone were so far off, 10% odds was definitely “way” wrong. Nate’s model predicted that if Florida went Trump the odds were at 33% or so. Texas moreso, etc. Since Florida went incredibly strongly Trump, we can say with certainty he was completely wrong on the 10% chance. That’s the point: he was way overconfident his past model would fit, it should have been closer to a slightly advantage, which would read something like 60/40 at best.

I think the best pro-choice argument is something along Bill Clinton's "Safe, Legal and Rare." It's power lies in the idea that you wouldn't want people getting hurt. That you wouldn't want anyone going to jail over abortion. And that no one really likes it.

Of course the argument tends to fall apart (for me at least) on the "rare" part. Why should it be rare? Well - to make the argument you need to concede that it's wrong and at base a large number of Pro-Choice people - even those who agree on some level that there's something wrong with abortion - won't concede that.
It is, but self sufficiency is nearly impossible. To pay for tools and machines, electricity and water you would need to sell parts of your produce. That is hard if you do not scale up to a level to compete with highly advanced industrial agriculture.

Of course you could scrap the electricity and get your water from the nearest river, but I doubt many people would want to put up with that.
> WinUI being the UI platform that Microsoft seems to be pushing on windows these days.

WinUI doesn't sit well with me - it has the same problem that all the other "user-mode" UI frameworks have: it isn't a system-service, so once your app ships it's frozen in time and won't benefit from new features added to native widgets and controls (e.g. if you run a well-designed MFC EXE last compiled for Windows 2000 - but tweak the embedded manifest resource file to load the updated CommonControls and Windows 10 compatibility - it will still look good today and fit-in with an MFC program created new last week (I note it will look "good" - not "amazing" - because Microsoft decided to take Windows 10's native widgets downmarket since Windows 8, ugh...).

Could be worse - at least it's not Java AWT or Swing. What on earth was Sun thinking when they designed that?
