Read "poor charlie's almanack" - it will illuminate you on why you should read across different topics. In short, if you only have one mental model (way of thinking) through which you're viewing the world, you will incorrectly apply it to everything around you. As you read more broadly and learn different ways of thinking and will apply the appropriate one to each situation.
Do we care about maximising profit? If yes, I would focus on providing the model's results or access to the model to other companies.

It's equivalent to selling shovels in the gold rush of ML.

That's provided that I would be able to overcome the personal feeling that what I'm selling is useless and I'm essentially scamming every customer.

Yes, I believe that kites are very unlikely to ever compete with horizontal axis for things like large wind farms, even though projections claim that they could get more energy per square mile of wind energy park. But the current demonstration system is so small in terms of ground installation (basically truck-sized) that a horizontal axis turbine of similar site preparation would suffer a lot from the relative weakness of winds close to the ground, much worse than a full size turbine. If you happen to be in the market for a 100 kW turbine, chances are the 100 kW kite will be better in every single metric (apparently the kite is very low-wind capable). So much better actually that the kite might be very attractive to many who wouldn't be in the market for a small horizontal at all. Another market could perhaps be developed around an "upgrade kit" variant that's specifically designed for retrofitting to the base of existing (single-standing) horizontal turbine towers. The the rotor would always be upwind of the tower, the kite would always be downwind and they don't compete for wind because they harvest in entirely different air layers.

And who knows, perhaps once there is a few centuries of operation experience accumulated across sites, maybe it turns out that kite control actually is reliable enough to fly a dense park in formation. And unlike turbines that absolutely need to go big a kite park could go for number of units instead of size of units without suffering from weak ground winds which would enable much deeper utilization of mass manufacturing benefits. (Apparently they do have plans for larger units that fit the "1-7 MW" range of horizontals - if they get there and the technology remains practical it would be truly revolutionary)

Not that I personally care that much, but the idea is that using curl|bash you can get incomplete script because of a network error, and "incomplete" can end on any command, like instead of "rm -rf /home/user/.config/program/useless_dir" it could end on "rm -rf /home".
I am not the biggest supporter of MS’s anti competitive nature.

But I find the complaints against Teams to be suspect. Primarily because Teams is not adding anything new to the MS office bundle. It’s a slightly better replacement (arguably!) for Skype.

There’s barely a feature in MS Teams that isn’t, at best, an enhancement on what MS was already delivering within Skype.
Sinopharm says its vaccine is 100% effective, no serious safety concerns
Now reactions will be harder to count: instead of X neutrally yellow emojis there would be a bunch of every skin tone. I'm also kinda worried about accidently displaying statistics like "only people of certain race like this issue".

Overall, I feel that it's better to use only the neutral variant in reactions.
Interestingly enough, the most expensive program was The B-29 bomber program, which cost 50% more than the Manhattan project.

Then one B-29 had an emergency landing in Sovjet and the soviets reversed engineered it into the TU-4. Tu-94 which is still flying is a newer scaled up version of this.

It's amazing how much of the innovation the U.S did in the 1940s ended up in others hands(the bomb, B-29).
The world would probably be very different if it hadn't happened.

There may be no difference for you with this level of vitriol, but there's a difference for hundreds of people who have jobs, and for dozens of engineers like me who will keep contributing to open source significantly at work hours.
no, it wasn't, but figuring it out all themselves (and not have the project look after it working) is understandably something many people prefer to avoid.

This study is extraordinary in terms of the extent to which it reveals just how little we fully understand about what is actually taking place in the genetic process.

In my country (Europe) meat substitutes are more expensive than the cheap meat you'll find in discounters. So if you want to have a meat-like taste for many poorer people meat is the obvious choice.
Very much true. You cant see these out of context of the whole ecosystem. Making the best (according to many) computers, operating systems and phones means being able to sell headphones at a high margin.
From what I gathered some animal by-products (such as whey and gelatin) are abundant, practically waste products, and need to be destroyed. Therefore they get sold for ridiculously low prices (dump prices) or those who are interested even get paid for picking it up.

If you want to make an impact, just eating one piece of meat less a week has more impact than quitting eating whatever amount of licorice with gelatin it is you are eating.

Another irrelevant one is rennet. Yes, a calve gets slaughtered for rennet, but calves already get slaughtered and one calve stomach is used for, say, 100.000 cheeses. It makes no impact as a vegetarian to therefore not eat cheese made with rennet. Just like it makes no sense to avoid lab meat because an animal suffered from it. At one point, it gets ridiculous, and its harmful for the cause (be it animal welfare, environmental welfare, or personal health).
Let's stop comparing every single expense with the "fully loaded cost of an average US developer". Averages are skewed by higher end companies. There's some weird thinking that permeates these sorts of discussions that somehow every developer is $500k/year, because some facebook and google engineers get stock options.

"It seems like it would be a win if it improved productivity and/or retention even a tiny little bit." Why? Perhaps your "seems like" is, in fact, wrong, and there's no measurable improvement in my you the latest gear every year. Perhaps you get a 1% 'productivity improvement' over the year - on 2000 hrs, let's say that's 20 hrs more of 'productivity' from you. But all the overhead - purchasing overhead, inventory management, network provisioning, security checks, your time in moving stuff over, reinstalling/upgrading your software, moving keys, etc - costs more than that mythical 1% of 'improvement' you might deliver.

I bought my own RAM for a company-provided tower once, and a couple IT folks flipped out. But it did make my system measurably important, and cost me... $70 at the time (something like that) - went from swapping to spinning rust all the time to everything fitting in memory, and no swapping. But it ruffled feathers, even though the company was not out any money.

Take the raise. Become an independent consultant. Charge more. Buy your own hardware, use what you want.

I always find it fascinating to see the constraints that artists work under and how this effects their work. One thing none artists probably don't know is that a large part of traditional artist training is doing exercises under artificially constrained conditions in order to improve technique (source - I originally trained as a painter - 3 years vocational art and design qualification and 3 year degree). For example you might be given a continual line assignment (draw an entire picture without taking your pen off the paper), or to do life drawings without taking your eyes off the subject (so no looking at what you're drawing). These exercises are the equivalent of doing "scales" For musicians. They're largely boring, and often frustrating but dedicating time to them and doing them consistently over the course of years pays off. Early pixel art is amazing to me because there are so many constraints - in the tools (seriously drawing with joysticks!), the color pallets, the limited resomution and the exploiting of rendering and display artificats. Anyway, just some random thoughts.

Yeah, you're right, I put some "haven't quite happened yet" stuff in there, but the point I was making was that there was a time when discounting the man was the rational thing to do, at this point I think he's proven his ability to do what he says he's going to do, and the ones I stretched a little are well on their way to happening.

Sorry, missed that.

I looked at the chart titled 'Avoiding going to work' and was bemused because I couldn't see the line for Norway, where I live. When I turned of the Asia, and US I was able to see it. It would be interesting to know the expected error of the surveys that were used to generate that because the impression I have is that vastly more than 18% of the Norwegian working population is working from home. In fact even in normal times a lot of people work from home a significant fraction of the time.

So I am still of the opinion that such charts don't tell us very much and in particular they do not tell us how much we can rely on them.

And one last point: there is a chart showing that 40% of Norwegians say that they are 'Avoiding physical contact with tourists'. What tourists? There have been essentially zero foreign tourists in Norway since March and internal tourism has practically disappeared a well so what meaning, if any, can be associated with such a statistic.

Or we could move our scientific computing workloads to places where that renewable energy is, as transmitting the results of scientific computation is much cheaper than moving the energy.

I'm not saying that Proof of Work algorithms have no value at all, but I believe they have very little value to humanity compared to most other uses for that energy, and increase the costs of energy in many cases for most other applications.

Currently Proof of Work spends energy to create a betting market for rich people. Maybe in the future there might be useful application of it, but we've yet to get any further than theorising and small scale demonstrations.

I'm aware. Which is why I stated that it's about time we changed that too.

No, I don't own a car. Yes I do walk. Yes I do drive, and yes I do my best to protect the environment. I even have my own litter picker and go out every-night picking up trash off the streets from those of the likes of you dropping it.

Animal slaughter for anything is wrong. Animals have long-been put as second class and that's what needs to change. Why?, why not. And your a prime example of someone who's first class who clearly shows; you don't really care.

That's what needs to change in the world. You. How much meat do you eat? Cut that amount in half. You don't need to stop but with demand so stupidly high because of people demanding it for convenience is what's wrong with this planet. Having meat for special occasions, I have no issue with that. If the animal is your own cattle and used for dinner, okay if the animal hasn't been abused. Cows need to be milked otherwise they get ill. That's fine.

The issues I have is that when an animal are bred deliberately, tortured and inhumanely treated for your self-indulgence. Sold for greed and profit or used as painful experiments (cosmetics) that's where it's wrong.

I'm a environmentalist activist which vegan is only just a sub-category of.

Being all-out honest I don't even like vegan products, they taste crap. Cheese is icky, their butter is meh. It has a long-way to go before it can come to anything. But I still hold to my views of it's time to stop eating animals, using animals for ones selflessness. Why are we still using animals, that's a question which no one can ever seem to answer.
Vegetarian burgers are much cheaper than meat and chicken burgers

Where are you? I've never seen this in any country I've been to. If you buy the raw ingredients and make them yourself then it might work out cheaper, but if you but a package of ready made veggieburgers or order them at a restaurant then they cost the same as meat.

I think the difference is that nothing in React is abusing fault tolerance in a browser to the extent that this is. This very specifically works only because browsers don't generally care that an HTML page is anything close to valid HTML. There's no guarantee at all that this will continue to be the case, and it's resonable to assume that some browser in the future might decide to do render things that are very clearly a JSON document as a JSON document instead - fundamentally breaking the core architecture of your system.

React is a different approach, but it plays by the rules and doesn't serve invalid HTML or Javascript.

I think most people get into business to make money, but that he makes money because he needs it to accomplish a goal. Every decision he makes is to accomplish that goal. For most rich philanthropist types, they only come up with those goals after they make money. I think that plays a big role.

Also the guy is methodical about it. He starts with first principles. That also plays a big part.

And he takes risks. Not just risks with his money, but risks with everything he has going on. And calculated risks.

You don't make more people like him, you can't. People like that make themselves.

It is (or was) definitely possible to be security conscious and use an Open Source OS:

* You can use reposync to update a copy of EPEL, PowerTools, etc.

* You can use yum -q deplist PACKAGENAME to list dependencies

* You can copy the necessary RPMs to a DMZ and apply security scans/tests, then take them to your boxes and install them

Also, any corporation or organization like I'm talking about has internal approval/certification of software as usable on their networks. The Army formalized this as the CoN, Certificate of Networthiness.

A month or so ago I was listening to an NPR interview about insects. The interviewee said that the insect population in Germany has declined something like 75% in 25 years. He noted that people don't tend to notice big changes over the span of a couple decades, which is a good point, and helps explain why climate change will probably never be seriously tackled.

I think people are missing something here... this isn't going to make a typical CentOS deployment less stable than before. The intended result is to make RHEL even more stable than before, but leaving CentOS in the position where RHEL was until now.

Seriously, think about it. Yes, users of CentOS Stream will be essentially be doing beta-testing for RedHat, but it's a type of beta testing that until now didn't even exist; any instability, conflict, or vulnerability that enters into CentOS Stream is one that would have entered into production RHEL systems otherwise. So the net effect is fewer of those for RHEL, but the same number as before for CentOS. CentOS users lose nothing they ever had.
This is so awesome! Others better beware!

This is just one of many lacklustre attempts at justifying a hideous war crime. From Eisenhower:

Most books could be summarized in an article.

And while I think attributing negative adjectives to 2020 is arbitrary, since the bad things happening now are not bound to the calendar, this year was particularly bad for an even bigger number of people than the average year. It may not have been bad for you, but passing off the year as remotely good is disrespectful and shows a lack of empathy to the millions who had it bad because of covid, racial conflicts, natural disasters, terrorism, increased poverty etc etc.
Quick note - I've had this happen to me.

- browser crash

- I reload last website

- crash again

- I know that site has an exploit - so I try curl to get the payload - it's no longer there.

- I set up wireshark - open up in browser - exploit no longer there.

I'm now stuck with no way to figure out what happened, core dump is useful to prevent the crash but not find the code that triggered it.

So disconnect / fresh install OS.

This kind of targeting can happen now with curl|bash detecting if you install or just download.
