Yes, they do to build more plants at a record pace, because they need to increase total generation at a record rate. Since renewables, which are also being built at a record pace, are not very reliable time-wise, it is needed to build reliable capacity.

Now, that capacity might be used 15-20% of the time, but it still needs to be built. For example, the UK went multiple days without ever using its fossil fuel electric plants, but they were still necessary in case of bad weather.

I agree that this is not optimal. In the best of worlds, they should use nuclear energy and hydro for base load generation. However, not everywhere in China is good for either, and their very-high-voltage long-range grid is still being built, so for many regions, which tend to be those that are poor and growing the fastest, they have opted to use fossil fuels. This isn't inconsistent with their goals.

> I don't even support Trump

And yet, much of your comment history is repeating Trumpist talking points.

> the narrative swung 180 from "2016 was illegitimate, the Russians hijacked it"

That was never the narrative; even the strongest claim of collusion and other misconduct associated with the Trump 2016 campaign were never suggested to make the election illegitimate, they were described as crimes committed by the participants that merited punishment.

> to complete skepticism of any claim of election fraud/interference

Again, no, election interference of the same type as in 2016 continued and accelerated in 2020; this was widely reported. That has nothing to do with fraud and election integrity, the interference is propaganda, not electoral fraud.

> If we're to believe that nothing changed since 2016

Plenty of things have changed since 2016.

> (and according to many Trump is absolutely useless, so our elections must be as vulnerable as they were in 2016)

The problems in 2016 had nothing to do with election security/vulnerability, it was about foreign propaganda efforts directed at manipulating the public to vote in a way that a hostile foreign power believed would serve their interests.

And even if 2016 was an election security issue, the federal government, while it has done role in election security, doesn't run elections and plays only a supporting role in securing them. As useless as the Trump Administration might be, the state elections administrators, of both parties, are generally not useless.

And while Trump might be useless, not all of his early appointees (before he had more certainty of his control of the Republicans in Congress and before he was quite as paranoid about loyalty) early appointees, including people like Chris Krebs, were competent professionals of the type that would generally be appointed to high office under Administrations of either party, and have not, themselves, been useless.
Let's not forget that Wilson was a Princeton Professor and Hoover was an engineer. (Wilson appointed KKK members to his cabinet, screened a white supremacist film in the white house, invaded and occupied the soviet union for two years; hoover treated society as a machine that he would "tweak the knobs to try to optimize" - we all know how that turned out) And Coolidge, a lawyer, was arguably the "least bad" president of the 20th c (didn't invade any countries, re-desegreated the federal workforce).

What does that mean? Bootcamp is just running windows on the machine. You're gaming on an Intel cpu and an AMD gpu. That doesn't change because Apple installed another OS on the system.

Sufficient or not is a weird way to put it.
Gaming on the Mac was basically dead and will be revived with Apple Silicon, I believe. Even the MacBook Air now has enough power to run modern games smoothly, and more powerful models are to follow. A considerable amount of iOS games are suddenly playable on the new Macs, too. And yes, native support for Apple Silicon and Metal is clearly the way forward.
The governments of the feudal era, let alone the night watch states of the 1800, were certainly more corrupt than the more centralized nations of China and the US. Disproving this hypothesis that I hear too much.
> in the middle of the deck before dive bombers

Commonly enough for people to plan for it before dive bombers became a thing. After the gunnery advancements of the early 20th century, engagement ranges could be long enough for plunging fire. Battleship shells coming down at 40° off vertical aren't that different than an AP bomb.

That's not to say that these defences were sufficient. Battleships were designed with an "immunity zone" - a range where incoming fire of the designed caliber (generally the same caliber as the main battery) would be at a high enough angle and low enough velocity to fail to penetrate your belt armor, and shallow enough angle to not defeat the relevant deck armor. 2000lb AP bombs at terminal velocity were very much not within the design specifications.

> carriers today are significantly more advanced in both technology as well as doctrine than those, though.

For that matter, even other carriers in that same battle show that damage control by a carrier against bomb hits was possible - the Yorktown survived several bomb and aerial torpedo hits before eventually being sunk by a submarine. She was able to make sufficient repairs to launch fighters again after the first set of bomb hits, too.

Modern carriers are probably better represented by the Yorktown than the Akagi, but no one will really know for sure until the shooting starts.
For large enough enterprises, $1k a month is a rounding error.

Also, depending on how you're provisioning accounts and laying out your networking, you may not want to be sticking one of these in every VPC. There's no one-size-fits-all, but in many cases a transit VPC that handles the egress centrally would make more sense.

I also find that even with the regional toggle off, my results are still skewed towards my location or the native language of it. This is true for both DDG and Google. I want results completely agnostic of where my IP happens to be positioned.

> The point everyone conveniently seems to miss is a new SoC for mobile devices running at 10-20 watts shouldn't be in the same universe when it comes to performance with any Ryzen desktop processor—but here we are.

10-20 watts is how much desktop processors use for a single thread, so they're not claiming an unfair advantage there. It would be truly impressive if the M1 at that power level was competitive with desktop processors on multi-threaded workloads where they actually use their full TDP, but it isn't even close.

> The 16-inch MacBook Pro ($2,799.00) comes with a 2.3GHz 8‑core 9th‑generation Intel Core i9 processor, Turbo Boost up to 4.8GHz and for an additional $200, you can get it with a 2.4GHz 8‑core 9th‑generation Intel Core i9 processor, Turbo Boost up to 5.0GHz.

Which are old slower Intel CPUs. Intel's latest is 10th-generation and even those are slower than Ryzen, much less the older 9th-generation ones. And even those older Intel mobile CPUs defeat the M1 on multi-threaded workloads like Cinebench.

Core i9-9880H scores 8311 compared to 7833 for the M1 (native):

I think you can already set an S3 bucket to charge the downloader for bandwidth, that's what I was talking about, the storage part is harder. The storage costs could be borne via some sharing agreements between the commercial interests and the pay customers where the infrastructure could be provided for smaller indexers (storage, compute) and in exchange the provider can use the data freely for their own services. Or, we could have a micropayments system that aggregates towards the end of the month, something open source and free to use, maybe a blockchain, this is actually one place that tokens on a blockchain could work as a semi-decentralized payment system between the parties in agreement in my "vision" or whatever you want to call it.

Considering how corrupting power is even in more democratic / power-sharing systems, IMHO I'd amend your statement to read something like "in an ideal world ..."

High probability contracts require you to put up a lot of capital to make a small profit. This would be fine for a bet that has a quick turn around, but prediction bets often require the bet to be placed well in advance of the event, which means the capital is locked up for a long time.... it is basically a low interest loan to the bookie.
UWP now has first-class Rust bindings.
For folks that are deploying ec2-based firewalls already, the hourly cost is flat.

Usage price seems high at first but honestly you're paying a premium for any commercial firewall product. Palo Altos, for example, are $1.38/hr if you license them through the marketplace (above the instance costs). That breaks even at 21GB/hr, so you're likely to pay a lot more for the AWS product for anything in production (possibly by an order of magnitude).
That's an interesting piece. But I wonder if it's criticizing more the idea of "working in a vacuum" without taking into account what's going on in the world, as opposed to "focused work" (which imho, can still be work on something culturally aligned).
After the first election day, Trump was up on predictit ~60/40. This tells me that the betters have no idea what they're doing. While Trump was leading in swing states, most metropolitan areas only counted a small fraction of ballots, so the early votes had very little statistical value.

Also, there are often tiny arbitrages where buying "no" for Biden would cost a few cents less than buying "yes" for Trump. In theory, you can make a guaranteed 1% return on betting no for both Trump and Biden, and it was as high as 5%. You can't take advantage of this arb due to fees on predictit, but you'd think rational investors would at least try to keep this even.
The pentagon wastes more money than any other government agency. And I don't mean waste as in spending money on something I don't like, I mean waste as in buying one thousand nails and then throwing 999 of them into the lake because they only needed one and they have a quarterly budget they need to burn. Billions and billions of dollars go unaccounted for every year, their books are a mess, and congress just lets them essentially steal from the taxpayer, year over year.
Mission Statement is what drives your company day in, the how you are gonna get to your vision statement.

The Value Prop is the "problem" you are solving - jobs to be done helps you find the problem. The Value Prop is really the problem as described by your customers using their language.

Rosetta seems to have a similar performance hit to Microsoft's solution (10-30% overhead compared to native, depending on the workload).

The difference is that Microsoft is locked into using Qualcomm chips, which just aren't very close to Apple's performance.
> Why do we leave office workers to figure out on their own how to get things done?

Maybe I'm dense, or oversimplifying, but the answer seems obvious to me: because there's no one size fits all solution. Sure, people can be lost and confused, but being told there is one and only one way to things feels like a straitjacket to me. It's the same reason I despise the term "best practice" as if some arbiter of "best" determined that every other way of doing something sucks.

I'm very much of the eclectic school. I don't follow GTD strictly, but I pulled what I found useful from it and went from there. Honestly, it's been so long since I reviewed the method, it's probably time to go back and review it again. You can't just rest on your laurels; as another good (but often overpraised) productivity book put it, you need to sharpen the saw every once and a while, and this includes always questioning "best" practice.
Is it though, or is it lacking the software investment that Apple made.

There are a good amount of chipsets that are now on 5nm processing. But only Apple made a full desktop OS to go with it.

I suppose that would depend on what you put inside that $3k mac. It's very easy to slap a price tag on something 'wrong' and then complain it doesn't do the right thing ;-)

A PC with $4k worth of PCIe storage but no video output or networking would be very expensive but not very good at games.

A Mac with a reasonable video card (say, an RX580 or better) and a general i5-level CPU would run Windows and most games just fine. Won't be a 144Hz 4k party, but 1440/1080 for recent games on decent settings and at least 60FPS will work. But that's not a lot of difference to any other computer...

Difference would be what you start off with. If you buy any $1000 laptop that only has a CPU-integrated GPU but does have Thunderbolt 3, you can add an eGPU for that GPU power that you need and you'd be good to go.

If you buy a cheaper laptop that happens to have some sort of 1050 in it, it would be cheaper, but it probably won't have Thunderbolt 3 and then you'd be stuck with a GPU that will be a bottleneck faster than your CPU.

The biggest problem I'd see is that most Macs don't come with dedicate GPUs, and when they do it's a midrange AMD or workstation type GPU, neither of which are great for games (regardless of what computer you stick those in). The higher tier AMD GPUs did come to later Macs, but at that point (the 5000 series) it wasn't really all that good. Too bad with the 6000 series we don't know if Apple will even add any third party GPU anymore. Also too bad that they got in a fight with nvidia over their crap QA years ago and never got back together. Could have been great...

I just figured the shitty people are already shitty now, but a lot of people become better after they have kids, so it might be a net gain if more people had kids earlier, since they might become better people earlier. You are right there are shitty parents, but I think parenthood generally makes for a more mature person, on the statistical whole.

Either way, it would be nice if people had to think about the care and feeding of others more often, so they might be less selfish after having seen how important a job it is to take care of another human with care and respect. Maybe even if people could take care of the elderly, it's a similar struggle to take care of a very old and enfeebled person.

> Absent willpower, or a job that's inherently aligned with one's natural interests, human nature inevitably drifts toward distraction.

I think the biggest testament to this is the 50%+ dropout rates common in PhD programs. You're starting with some of the most intelligent, diligent, bright-eyed young people on the planet and letting them work independently in a field that they presumably have a deep passion for.

All we ask them to do is write 100 pages or so on a topic of their choosing. They're given four or five years, which comes out to less than a page a week. Yet more than half will fail to complete the task due to attrition. (Yeah, I know this is over-simplified...)

And I think the obvious answer is that humans, in general, are horrendous at being self-directed on long-running, large-scale, multi-step tasks.

Almost anybody who consistently produces anything of real value works on a team, where at least there's some semblance of regular accountability to other humans. The rare example of truly productive people who can work in isolation are almost all (rightly so) lauded as atypical geniuses.
