Don't kid yourself. Your employer will always be better connected and more influential politically than you, unless you organize.

You'll be fired for donating to that PAC if it's actually becoming controversial and effective. Fortunately, unions have the same status in campaign contribution laws as PACs, so your best bet to do some lobbying as a worker is to join a union and use it as a PAC.

Interesting. I looked it up and that sounds about right for domestic users.

The cost of solar in the US is highly dependent on labor costs and the regulatory process. So OPs system would cost less in Kazakhstan based on lower labor costs.

Residential solar is also an expensive way to produce solar. In the US we have industrial scale plants that produce at $0.018-0.024/kWh.
Because they didn't fix the problem. Shit can still hit the fan with one AoA indicator down and MCAS disabled. Think about how flawed these sensors have to be to fail mere months after coming off the assembly line. 737 MAX is only safe if there is triple redundancy on the sensors to confirm which of the two remaining sensors are in agreement.
I thought it was relatively easy to keep zygotes dormant for arbitrary lengths of time, but embryos are more developed and this definitely raises philosophical questions regarding cryogenics. "How big can we go beyond the embryo, and for how long?"

Hopefully it’s not that simple. If the existing renewables output of an area is high, is it a good idea for me to build more capacity? I could just saturate the market and be stuck with low margins.

But if storage is coming, that could tilt the playing field a bit. I’d I do decide to gamble on it, now there’s even more reason to build storage, whether I build it or someone else does. In fact if I do both, I may be able to buy someone else’s surplus at a discount to resell and as a hedge against outages in my farm.

I have had the same experience. To push down on this the Japanese feel shame in not being able to communicate to you if you do not speak Japanese. It makes them uncomfortable. Being able to manage some basic Japanese helps so much to build a warmer feeling in your interactions. It does not have to be perfect but you have to try. There is a bar I love that is known for not being friendly to non-Japanese. However that is not the case. They pride themselves on their level of service and they feel they cannot meet that level if they cannot communicate to you. If you go with someone that speaks Japanese you are fine but alone they will tell you they are booked (if you look non-Japanese). I have been there enough and my Japanese is good enough that that I can walk in no issues. Once I walked in with a group of foreigners and a new person rushed up and told me in broken English "all full". As soon as I asked for a member of staff I knew in Japanese the persons face dropped and he apologized and sat us. I spent the night translating for my party and everyone has a great time (and my Japanese is quite child like!) There is another place I frequent that has the same staff for the last 12 years! They smile when I walk in, even if it has been 1/2 a year! It's going to be almost a year now with this pandemic but I promise when I get back I will see the same faces and they will still know my favorite scotch.

I live in Japan and the response by the government here was and is in sharp contrast to that in the UK (a super soft lockdown that ended before the summer is one example), yet it has been akin to comedy show from the beginning, before it hit the UK.

Still, there has not been the same hit from the disease, which only underlines that the differences in effect that are seen worldwide are about differences in population and geography - being overweight, having a very low friction of movement (e.g. excellent transport links, many borders), and not being low in vitamin D etc - far more than they are about government response.

I'm not saying the UK government has done well but it's striking to me that, from a distance, the criticisms of the UK and US I see coming from my friends are very similar, very parochial, and seem driven by media headlines rather than anything objectively sound.

In short, I'd give it another few years before you judge them more harshly than the government that brought us the Iraq war, for one.

A lot of these issues "house will be uncomfortable cold" are because the way houses have been built previously (and still are in a lot of places) is horribly inefficient. In my country (it's -5c outside now, so not exactly warm) the building standards dictate new houses must consume no more than 15W/m2/year of heat energy for heating.

To convert that to US units, that means a 3000sqft house somewhere were electricity is $0.15c/kWh would cost $600/year to heat from electric baseboard heaters. If you have a heat pump you could bring that down to $200/year - and that's before you even consider solar.

I live in a 5 year old apartment, and haven't even turned on the heating this season, but it's still a comfortable 20c/68F inside.

Yeah this works well for specifically this case.

There's other cases that I feel we haven't had a good chance to explore, specifically as it pertains to APIs.

I wanted to kill many compound HTTP request within a single one. Many API formats pack many logical entities in a single response, and that doesn't work well with caches.

Wouldn't it be nice if the next paradigm shift in API development goes towards every entity being addressable, cacheable by a browser but not suffering from the penalty of having to do many requests?

That's mostly where my work on Prefer-Push came from. I wrote a much longer article about this use-case earlier this year: https://evertpot.com/h2-parallelism/

> It's probably far safer now than other models.

All 737 have an obsolescent fuselage design. It could not be certified given modern regulation and relies on being grandfathered for new production. The consequence is the fuselage can shatter on crash landings or runway overruns whereas more modern designs will hold together and protect passengers.

The relatively minor training, hardware and software revisions of 737 MAX do not make it safer than other models. Reading the FAA documents one learns there is little interest in pursuing more fundamental problems.

For instance, the trim wheel control force issue has been officially handwaved. This means your 737 pilot may need to be an athlete in the midst of dealing with failed systems and reading flight manuals. Modern designs have flight proven fly-by-wire systems and don't involve wrestling with crazy naval vessel-like mechanical wheels to control pitch.
Right ? And they did that just by introducing a super efficient torch drive. Otherwise most technology is not that much advanced from what we have now, yet there is a believable human civilization spanning preatty much the entire Solar System.

There are high taxes for luxury products, a sports car can have import tax of 100%. Tax is complicated, there is VAT 17%, import tax varies depending on goods. I believe where you are at will have variable import tax on goods as well, you just never need to learn. If Chinese tourists don't know about the high import tax, why would they buy them overseas. It would be a common knowledge to be honest.

Oh man, that is severely splitting hairs.

You can't have T-cells and antibodies covering every single potential surface area of every cell of every tissue in the body, so there can be places that are infected in the body even though you're totally subclinical and not shedding in a meaningful sense. But such a small infection that is effectively managed by a vaccine-primed immune system is meaningless. That's like saying that a clean living-room floor isn't really clean because you can spot a speck of dust with your magnifying glass.

For all intents and purposes, vaccines prevent people from contracting an infection that is clinically meaningful, and that can be spread to others in a way that leads to infection. That's herd immunity.

"Herd immunity is a form of indirect protection from infectious disease that occurs when a sufficient percentage of a population has become immune to an infection, whether through vaccination or previous infections, thereby reducing the likelihood of infection for individuals who lack immunity."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_immunity

You're making it sound like vaccinated people are walking around shedding virus all over the place, but simply showing no outward signs.

Man if you really want to trace the etymology of Chinese characters it gets to be a really long and crazy affair. You inadvertently stumbled across a thorny example.

The history of 晴 indicates pretty clearly that 青 is meant to be a phonetic compound rather than a semantic one, but it's not obvious how that came about.

晴 originated as the character 夝 and originally meant a clear night with visible stars after the rain has stopped (夝 is a 形声字 where 夕 means dusk or night and 生 is the phonetic compound) rather than a clear day. By focusing on the stars, we got alternate "spellings" of 暒 (which is a cross between using 星 phonetically and semantically) and 精 (borrowing its connotation of brightness). Gradually this focus on stars became a focus on brightness while maintaining the original "clearness." The latter character 精 then kept its phonetic component 青 and got a new semantic component 日 to distinguish itself from 精 and that's how we got 晴.
Aerocapture with the thin Martian atmosphere is much riskier than aerobraking [1]. Since you’re trying to bleed off all of your delta-v in one pass, your margin for error is much lower due to the high energies involved. Aerobraking is much less risky but way slower, taking months to decelerate and so much less feasible with human passengers.

For landing on earth you only need aerobraking and parachutes. For the moon all you need are the retro rockets (we’ve already done it). To send humans to Mars you need retro rockets, a heat shield, and a parachute. The combination of systems makes the whole procedure a lot more complicated and error prone, increasing risk.

I'm not that old, but I learned the haversine formula in a marine navigation class I took through (boy) scouts. Our instructor was a retired merchant navy officer who was somewhat upset that the curriculum didn't include it, and deemed that we should know it.

My A-level (≈ AP) maths teacher was mildly amused that I knew it and digressed about log tables. We were (I believe) the last cohort to be issued log-tables, but given the choice in examinations between log-tables, slide-rule, or calculator, we all made the same choice.

Then how did the first people in that situation do it?

Does it? No one does this:

var STRAWBERRY_PI = 1 + Math.PI;

For example, no one doing math will use τ (2𝛑) and 𝛑 simultaneously. Choose one or the other, otherwise you are increasing the number of symbols someone has to learn to understand your math. Naming everything is overwhelming. Mathematics is about similarities, not differences. If the transformation is trivial, then don't bother creating a new symbol. It will just confuse you more.
> Because the engineers would not have positioned the engines there in the first place.

That would have been one possible approach, yes, but it would have involved other changes, the main one being longer landing gear and a higher ground clearance.

My point is that even having the engines in a similar position to the existing one would not have posed a problem if the plane had been a new type. Other planes in service have engines in a similar position. What caused the problem was having the engines in that position and having to match the stick force curve of the existing 737 in order to keep the same type rating.
The Race to Make Vials for Coronavirus Vaccines
I watched my parents suffer throughout their careers because their Unions were politically toxic and also deigned it necessary to keep their wages below market in order to apply pressure on the employer to raise the wages of others in the bargaining unit. As though a lineman and a telecontrol technologist are similarly skilled and trained.

My father spent the better part of a decade trying to hire his replacement because the union wage was so attrociously below market for his labour.

And then the politics, favouritism, bullying and abuse that occurs under a union; because the shop steward et al formed a social clique to get themselves and their buddies the best hours and best positions.

My two siblings went to work in unions and now regail me with similar tales.

No, I'm happy working for small and independent game studios and negotiating for myself, thanks. I happily donate the money to political organizations that would otherwsie be used to pay union dues.

Thanks for sharing. Agreed that runtime dependency conflicts are unavoidable for most programming languages. Your example of sqlite database format conflicts is also a good one.

I definitely won't claim that nix has solved runtime dependency conflicts, but it does decisively solve build-time conflicts.

Similar to containers like you describe, but reproducible and don't require storing and shipping opaque binary images around. Reproducibility is really the killer feature, IMO. I inherited a bunch of containers that don't build anymore because the build instructions weren't reproducible. Having an old container image that still runs is just tech debt if yiu can't edit the build instructions and genrrate a new one.
As the person above said, one of the balls is restricted to only 1-20. This ball is drawn last.

You get 14 possible draws if the order the balls are drawn in matters (14-20 being the highest, with 20 drawn last), and 20 permutations if it does not (since any straight above 20-25 is not possible). The math is much different for drawing if the order matters though. There also would probably be some funky stuff going on for the higher straights where order doesn’t matter, since for a 20-25 straight the 20 ball must be the special ball. For a 19-24 straight either 19 or 20 must be, etc. Really you’re looking at calculating “Chance that the first five balls can create a straight with a number between 1-20, and then a 1/20 chance that straight actually happens.”
I had a buddy in college who was from St. Thomas. He struggled with his desire to be a doctor when his family just wanted him to take over their diamond business. A true dilemma.
But you have to factor in that the majority of the cost is installation. I’m going to bet that labor cost in your country isn’t nowhere the cost of that.
If the labor cost in your country was the same as the US then your current power cost would be that low either.

You're right. That was uncalled for.

I think Sniffoy made some valid points but I don't think they support his premise that "Building circuits is neat, but [...] this has some problems as a game". Sure there are things that could be improved but I don't think they take away from the game. I mean you said you did all of the levels with optimizations and enjoyed it. You didn't let the subpar language stop you from enjoying it. But Sniffoy did. And I guess that rubbed me wrong - he's blaming the game because he got hung up on a couple words.

This is the argument against the public option. The existence of a higher industry baseline does not the negate the existence of those who would surpass that standard.
