Depends on how far we fall. If world population is a few thousands per continent, there are not enough people to do anything other than subsistence farming. By the time population builds up enough to think about anything else we have forgotten too much to know how use use those garbage pits - if indeed there is anything left. (As the article notes the first generation will probably use scavenge solar panels, but won't be able to recreate them when they fail)

You need a large population of farmers growing food to have excess for non farmers. We get around that with fossil fuels today. You also need surplus because the weather is not uniform, so you need enough for your society to supply itself for a few bad years, including the "freeloaders" doing something else.
One could make the case that because Google is the biggest player in this field that this is yet another way they leverage their power unfairly.
>They're particular to the modern conservative party.

Many of my liberal friends believe in crazy stuff like russiagate or defending BLM looters/rioters or proudly voting for a political candidate that supported bombings in the middle east that lead to the death of countless civilians (including kids) while simultaneously villainizing Dubya for being a war mongering criminal.

You'll have to excuse me for not seeing your "clear delineation" - whatever that means.
great idea! thanks for sharing this.

Recently I noticed I get better suggestions when I am logged out [0]. I am still convinced someone could implement a recommendation system that can suggest more interesting videos based on my history. And it would make me spend more time on the platform so it would be actually win-win if that could have been done by youtube but given their current priorities on monetization I don't know if there is hope. I will give that a try.

In the case of mass-produced solid-body electric guitars of good repute, there is less variance, but stuff can still go wrong.

But not wrong in that same way whereby you compare three identical, well-made acoustic guitars side by side and one of them obviously "projects" the tone more.
I don't recall where, but I remember once encountering an API that took a buffer and a length, and required the buffer to exceed the specified length by some n. Unlike this case, I think the requirement was documented. Still seemed like a recipe for bugs. If you need to implicitly adjust the length of the buffer upwards, it's not really the length of the buffer.
>That's an underhanded comment or do you assume Africa can't produce any technical skills?

Lighten up a bit, eh? The parent didn't say anything negative about South Africa, rather he plainly wondered about the labor market for these skills and why it was necessary to bring talent from another country. It is an interesting and valid question that seems to imply a lack of homegrown US skills.

Personally I wondered if the make of tractor was South African and thus the likely source of trained technicians, but that's not the case here. Which leads us back to the root question - why SA?

"I still believe you need some newer machinery in the mix, and my harvest equipment is where you’ll find it."

I find this very interesting because on our farm the main source of savings has been running 7 (3-4 in the field at a time) 1480 and 1680 combines valued at $5-8,000 each. (and about 15 headers to match, equally worthless). We keep them well maintained but if we do have a failure that is not an instant fix we literally just pull another one out of the shed and carry on.

Where we farm late-90's and early 2000's seeding equipment is now cheap as dirt too, we run two air seeders worth a combined $50,000, maybe?

I have a Steiger, branded as a Case 9170, they have weak spots (wiring, rear diffs & planetaries) but they are cheap horsepower. Around my parts the "Rome" tractors would be older Versatile 4WDs that are easy to repower and have nice big cabs.

All that said, I find the large savings claims here to be a bit suspect. Dropping new electronic engines in these frames, even if you do a lot of the work yourself, costs real money. Once you are 80-90k into a 1980 tractor.. they made a lot of good equipment in the 90's that you can walk up and buy for those kinds of dollars. And he isn't doing the work all himself, those hours cost real cash out of pocket (a small farmer like myself that fixes himself.. well you can just keep whittling down your personal hourly rate by putting in more hours).
I suspect there's ironing boards and lint rollers stashed up there, too.

After thinking about your project for a while: Christmas cards! Christmas cards! Christmas cards! And there are a few almost simultaneous holidays from other religions and they need their own artwork. Probably also about the "New Year", and this year something about "Bye 2020".

It's entirely possible that the microwave oven is disrupting the cable service. Given that the cost of a modern replacement microwave oven is probably less than the time you've spent analyzing this, my recommendation is to just upgrade the oven and be done with it.

If you don't want to upgrade the oven, you could upgrade the cable to "quad shielded" RG6, and wrap a few layers of aluminum foil around the splitter.

I just don't understand this. A R-controlled congress agreed to bailouts that Trump could have vetoed. A stimulus went through, and the majority of Americans agree it's a good thing (not saying it was or not, economically speaking). Biden also wants to do a stimulus, so am I missing something?
There is no need to speculate about what more might have been happening than what was said.

For example consider his pot comment. We have known for many years that common herbicides, for example paraquat and maneb, can cause Parkinson's. Sometimes surprisingly quickly. In the 1980s we still used cyperquat which is even more closely related to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPTP which can (when injected) create almost instant Parkinson's. And not only did we use those herbicides, law enforcement specifically used them to target marijuana.

So it is quite reasonable that smoking marijuana that had been sprayed with an herbicide could have caused him early onset Parkinson's.

If the bad batch was smoked on set at Leo & Me, you've got the whole cluster explained. Or maybe they were unlucky and filmed directly downwind of someone spraying too much herbicide.

There are a lot of possible ways that it could have happened.

Are you arguing that WeWork hasn't outcompeted any other office space leasing companies thanks to its funding? The article revolves around testimony from firms that WeWork beat.

Also, even if we assume WeWork is an aberration, "beat" here is on a long timescale, after all. There are by now plenty of tech companies that have been around more than a decade having never made a profit. At some point you have to accept that the market dumping these firms are engaging in, does in fact lead to less well capitalised firms being unable to compete.
In some sectors of the economy, we haven't had capitalism for decades. The economy is highly artificial. It turned into a giant ponzi scheme and it constantly needs to use media to brainwash its participants in order to give legitimacy to fickleness. Fickleness and fragility is what you get when you have a system founded on an infinite debt bubble which keeps spreading itself thinner over time.

People literally have to go insane to get by in this insane system. The industries which are closest to the money printers are incoherent and have nothing to do with capitalism.

I'm also not sure what you would define as a failure. Drug development often starts with several candidates for a target. Over the cause of development the list is trimmed, as candidates show lack of affinity for the target or have side-effects that make them unviable. Would you consider each of the excluded candidates a failure?

By population the US dominates the entire list of first world countries you have there, and as you note, the remainder were underdeveloped at the time.

The US benefits a lot from simply being big. On some level success is simply about biomass - you need the largest number of brains you can, sitting around thinking about stuff.
I like Gentoo for this reason. I can leave core elements and stuff I don't care about on "stable" while selectively choosing "unstable" for things I use every day. Unstable is pretty stable for the most part. The nice thing is the stable core is still rolling so no major updates.
Locally (where we have a lot of folks who come from other countries to work in agriculture), I've always assumed it's about duration: If you come to work the season, you are a migrant worker. If you come to stay on a semi-permanent basis, you are an expat. But maybe I've been using those words wrong?

I played with OpenWRT a lot when the WRT54G was new-ish. Apparently the WRT54G-L is still being being sold new from Amazon, but considering I have a 14-year-old one running DD-WRT, still going strong, I'm not surprised.

Anyway, back then, a lot of these devices had really bad security. Some where so bad that you could do an XSS attack that gains root access to someone's router. Someone could definitely have intentionally added a backdoor, but I agree that it's pretty likely that developers working on a router with the goal of being cheap were lazy, rushed, or just didn't care, and left development backdoor open, allowed admin access on LAN and WAN, or something else.

Buy a newspaper, spend money lobbying politicians. Use these to exert indirect pressure. Buy ads for direct pressure. Setup a charity "social media consumer advocacy" to which you donate money used to spoil the activists you cultivate.

Next synergize all these efforts: Have the newspaper write about the activists, have the lobbyists talk about the newspaper articles with the politicians, and bring up the articles during sales talks regarding your ads.
Interesting. I remember searching for these five years ago to no avail. Perhaps the problem here is my Google-fu.
>This blog post and the associated startup/investment are, I think, identifying a real issue but not acknowledging the underlying structural issues: most independent creators probably do need to sell a range of complementary products and services to make ends meet.

I'm having trouble parsing what you wrote. To me, the author is acknowledging that structural reality with the paragraph about "multi-SKU" and investing in Stir as a platform for creators to offer multiple products instead of just relying a newsletter as the sole source of sustainable income.

Of course you can get compensation (if you ask), and the crew doesn't care either way - it's not like it comes out of a bonus they would have gotten or something. Flying is not a comfortable job and if passengers expect a/c on a flight I think it's reasonable for the crew to expect it from their employer as well.

I can see how the backdoor allows access to the router and makes the router itself part of the botnet.

But where do they get...

> This backdoor would allow an attacker the ability to remotely control not only the routers, but also any devices connected to that network.

How do you gain "control" of a device (presumably a PC) merely by having access to the router it is connected to? Is it just that we're assuming that a typical home network will be a soft target of PC's? What about windows defender firewall, and all that stuff?
Review from 2 years ago: https://mashable.com/shopping/oct-11-deal-walmart-jetstream-...

"WiFi routers always seem to make you sacrifice something, don't they?

You're either paying for speed and spending an ungodly amount of money, or opting for the budget pick and waiting forever for things to load.

You shouldn't have to make that choice. One bright spot on the WiFi landscape could come from an unlikely place: Walmart. The big box store is gearing up to save you money and headaches by launching a line of store-exclusive routers that minimize cost and maximize performance."

The cheap end were $35.

Not the OP but this assertion is at very least a non-obvious as constructive proof requiring vast elaboration and at worst, obviously wrong on the surface with clear existential proof as mentioned by the OP [except for perhaps a idealized definition of the word "democracy" that does not resemble what you actually get on the ground when you implement it.]

> Going from web app only to a full SDK is opening up the platform

How is that so? The initial promise with "web apps only" was that they would add the necessary APIs for people to develop web-apps that could do almost anything.

Nowadays Apple (intentionally or not) is crippling the entire web-app ecosystem by not supporting the APIs that everyone else does (no notifications, non-standard manifest, etc.).
It really is time to start a push to move open communities to open source software. Running a whole bunch of open communities out of slack and discord has always surprised me.

With docker you have to worry about how containers talk to each other. Which at a bare minimum means exposing ports and adding a network layer. Suddenly you find yourself in the weeds with docker-compose and debating whether or not it's actually suitable for a production environment, when they recommend using swarm instead. Then you find out swarm is on shaky ground and now you're hearing about nomad and ten different other solutions just to avoid k8s.

Infrastructure-as-code is a wonderful idea. But the reality is it's a full time job. There will always be orphaned containers and things that need cleaned up and automated. And if you don't, then your environment will run out of space or RAM and all devs will be sitting there doing nothing.

Building docker images also takes time, especially if you don't optimize the image. The simplest deploy workflow I've seen was a git hook (post-update, I think) that ran a few commands when the repo is updated. It'd really be hard to make up for the efficiency of that workflow after messing about with docker for days.
No, they can be renewed for another free year indefinitely, as far as I know. I don't believe they require a credit card number, either. I've had a few freenom domains I've renewed for several years in a row and just got some new ones a few months ago; it's a very useful service.

I'm not imagining a good-faith law here.

To draw a parallel, and I don't know how things work in the states, in Europe the CE mark is only valid when the equipment is installed in the approved way.

I did this for a boat once (including a brand new engine), and the relevant regulation is the Recreational Craft Directive. To get a boat legal to sell, you need to perform a relevant declaration, reference to the correct EU regulations and their localised translation into law, pay someone qualified to prepare the paperwork and translate the regulations ... a nightmare of paperwork and very expensive.

I'm not suggesting any bad-faith legistlation in the Recreational Craft Directive, I fully support very progressive environmental regulations, and not drawing the parallel too too closely...

But if you did want to curtail people's freedoms through regulation paperwork, there are all kinds of places you could hide a gotcha.

Off the top of my head:

- How about the energy efficiency of the whole power train?

- Approved lubricants.

- Annual energy efficiency certification of the whole vehicle from an approved organisation.
Because "royalty" is a legally-defined term for IP and tax law purposes. You can't just call something a royalty, it specifically means a payment in consideration for an IP license (meaning the right to use another's IP). For a work-for-hire agreement, the author never owns the IP license; as a commissioned work the copyright always belongs to the employer, so there is never a royalty. (On a more technical note, legally the consideration received from the sale of an entire IP right is not a royalty either, since it's not for a license but for the outright sale of the IP right.)

Thus, a sales-bonus for a WFH product isn't a royalty. Moreover, the original WFH payments would not be royalties either.
