It is possible to build technical solutions that take the work and luck out of social organization by shouldering the heavy lifting, but then get out of the way once people meet IRL.

The best tool for this right now is calendar and email. There's a lot of room for improvement.

Please PM me if you're interested in a deeper discussion. I've thought a bit about what this tool might look like and how to get it off the ground.

My blender has a base which is attached to the wall, and a removable part where the stuff you're blending goes. What advantage would it bring me if I could move the base? It also has a 1200W motor or something similar. The batteries required to power that for any reasonable length of time would be heavy and expensive.

This seems like a solution in search of a problem.

Most Government departments can support receiving and validating such certs now because they are using Exchange/Outlook, even if they don't know it. The funny part is when they modify emails with "THIS IS AN EXTERNAL SENDER", breaking the cert, and users just click through because the are used to it.
I have too many hobbies and tend to rotate in and out of them on a semi-predictable cycle:

# beekeeping
- 2 active langstroth hives atm, but have been on and off keeping for 4+ years

# bonsai tree cultivation
- been attempting to learn this craft since I was 12yo. I'm still very much a novice but find it relaxing

# home renovation
- custom cabinetry (built a new kitchen)
- plumbing (new bathroom)
- electrical (installed overhead lighting in house that previously was all outlet/lamps)

# retro computing/gaming:
- making hw+software for rom dumping old carts
- adapter boards for using old joysticks/gamepads on modern pcs

# farming / gardening
- had a 1/2 acre plot but recently downsized to 3 8x4' raised beds, but grow most of the greens my family of 5 eats
- been keeping 6-8 chickens for egg production for the past 7 or so years
There are some wildly imaginative benefits of FP sold in words by some advocates, oftentimes imagining what could be in a runtime or compiler based on the maths of what’s promised by the practice. It’s easy to imagine that if an expensive function call always produces the same results it can be optimized to a single call, after which all further calls are free (a memory access). It’s easy to then overstate or imply that calling a pure function guarantees that kind of optimization even if it doesn’t.
That doesn't change the fact the claim is a laughable lie.
Aka rheostatic braking. Trains do this, but they have pretty large radiators for it.

A few tips on rebase:

(1) If you want to rebase without pulling the images first (so there's no appreciable data transfer in either direction), you currently have to pass `--publish`.

(2) If you need to rebase against your own copy of the runtime base image (e.g., because you relocated the upstream copy to your own registry), you can pass `--run-image <ref>`.
> It seems to me this is not a facial recognition story but a story about how the state, with very little evidence, can ruin your life and leave you with very little recourse.

The facial recognition is relevant, as they relied on facial recognition software, though it is apparently illegal in New Jersey.

From the article as well:

> He asked for a lawyer, then was taken to a hallway where he was handcuffed to a bench. About an hour later, the officers – he counted seven – told him they were going to take him to a different room for more questions.

As far as I understand U.S.A. law, when a suspect ask for a lawyer, the interrogation is to stop immediately, and a lawyer must be provided or he must be allowed to call one, and the lawyer must be præsent ere the interrogation continue.

The real takeaway seems to be that the police did something illegal.

The rest of your post is about many more rules, but the issue is that the rules were broken here.
This sounds so astroturfy. Nothing ever checks all the boxes.
Ok so free email not only needs to have no ad or data monetization but also no analytics. That’s possible although I’m not actually sure you want to use a third party email service with no analytics since that means it will be hard for them to understand bugs and things of that nature.

To me the requirement to not allow Tor or VPN with Captcha is just completely insane. So you’re expecting a free email service to have no monetization but also allow you to infinitely abuse its free services? Just host your own email rather than calling providers shit because they don’t allow unlimited abuse of their free email accounts (which can get them blacklisted).

I do think it’s somewhat reasonable to expect Protonmail to be able to support a pro-privacy payment method like Monero to allow a “truly anonymous” sign up that at least costs money to prevent rampant spamming but at that point things are getting into “who cares” territory, as in, the company behind protonmail doesn’t give enough of a shit about the 48 users who would love to use the service if only they supported accounting creation via Tor and Monero to justify spending engineering or even legal time on making that work.
It's really good for heating/cooling buildings. Outside of that it's less clear. It's still extremely underused for heating/cooling. I think there isn't much incentive for people to incorporate it at the moment because it mostly saves on long-term costs, but let's face it most of our new buildings are made in the pursuit of short-term profit. The technology is also underdeveloped therefore expensive in most cases.

When I was working in vfx we employed a guy who's sole job was to fly back and forth from LA to Melbourne with pelican cases full of hard drives.

Nintendo's greatest technical achievement is the staggered backward compatibility between the original GameBoy, GameBoy Color, GameBoy Advance, DS, and DS 3D.

It's a game console compatibility lineage that stretches 30 years from the first GameBoy in 1989 to the end of the 3DS in 2020.

It's a remarkable achievement for a game console platform. It only happens with incredible foresight, planning, and strict software controls.
I agree with GP, this shouldn't be a discussion of, "we don't need geo-thermal because solar/wind is cheaper".

The issue is we are still heavily dependent on non-intermitent energy generation. Which for now is mostly Coal and Gas Power Plants. Coal is extremely poluting and Natural Gas is both polluting and has a geo-political mess of supliers.

Fusion is still years in the future and if even if there was a political will for nuclear it cannot be realistically rolled out quickly enough to decomission coal in terms of climate damage.

Without knowing all the details it seems like a much easier problem to solve:

- Get 24/7 heat out of deeper earth's crust without 'fracking' earthquake's

Vs

- Energy efficient time sustained nuclear fusion

As a bonus, if I'm allowed to be completely cynical, geo-thermal could enable much of the Oil and Gas drilling technology and know-how to transition to a new industry, giving them an exit strategy rather than continue this tactic of agressive lobbying and squeezing the final dollars out of the Petro-Chemical industry at the cost of Human Future.

> Why is desktop Linux bad?

There are a huge range of reasons. There's no consistency, everything changes every 2 years, the documentation is awful when it exists at all, if software is outside your distro's package repo it's a bitch to install, there are too many different distros, the community is full of pricks, fragmentation is a time-honored pastime, complexity is fetishized... fuck sound still didn't work consistently on the last Linux based media center I built. A cursory search of the internet will turn up innumerable reasons Linux Desktop is bad.

Which isn't to say that MacOS and Windows aren't bad (and getting worse), but they're still a damned sight better.
You're right but not all media are the same. Arctic Vault used an optical film with QR codes. You can theoretically even take its photo and decode it by hand if you want. They even added a Rosetta Stone to the entrance so, even if all the knowledge is lost, one can hypothetically decode the data stored there. For magnetic media, you need some more specialized equipment for sure.
Thanks for the explanation, I didn't know that!

It is amazingly effective indeed. One time I was driving through ice and snow, and at the traffic light I turned of the ESP by mistake (was trying to plug in my phone charger in the lighter socket beside the button). When I took off I nearly crashed myself off the road, I never realised how slippery it was, and how much the car was covering for my ignorance.
The ones that don't you don't see, that's why.
As math consultant to "A Beautiful Mind", I started when perhaps a dozen people were working pre-production. I enjoyed how the catering improved as the production grew. I also learned to take in the best spirit being the butt of jokes as the obvious "outsider". Everyone meant well, but dined on me for entertainment.

First day of actual shooting, I taught my classes in New York then drove down to Princeton. Arriving in a blur, I noticed the catering had jumped another league, as I grabbed a snack.

"You're eating props!"

Months later, I was mountain biking on a day off. Cell phone rang, they realized they needed me on set after all. As it turned out, after props had me make some fake cigs as a gag for Russell Crowe with a "Dingos will eat your baby" warning, Ron and Akiva realized I was good at Photoshop. They had some work to do overnight, too late to dare ask the art department.

Everything happens at a glacial pace on a film, plenty of time to get home, shower, and drive over. Outdoor shoot, a dozen production assistants ringing the property with secret service headsets, to find people quickly. They chat when nothing is happening. A woman recognizes me, "Dave is on set" standard announcement. She asks about my mountain biking, somehow knows. I explain. It goes out over the radio:

"Dave gained a freshman fifteen on the film!"

If a Tesla would use rheostatic braking, I think it would require more cooling capacity than the cars are currently designed for. If the resistor couldn't be kept cool, then the car would have to revert back to friction brakes anyway. More cooling probably means bigger air intakes, which I think would run contrary to their aesthetic goals.
Danger: Engage safety squints.
Some pedantry:

> And JavaScript has always had a map method on arrays, which transforms the array's values into other values.

This isn't true. We only officially got this with ES5, which only came out in 2009. And we couldn't meaningfully use them until IE9 was released with ES5 support in 2011. And even then folks still had to support old IE for quite a while: it wasn't until around 2013 (after IE11's release) that ES5 use really picked up. Until then, we had Underscore.js and jQuerys' map methods, and various polyfills/shims.

Looking at the web today, you'd be forgiven for forgetting that most of the "cool" stuff is less than ten years old.

>I am always stunned that many (most/all) of these high tech gadgets lack a LOT of safety features.

I’m not... no safety is what the free market will deliver in the absence of regulations or liability or both.
These instructions are not for the Neural Engine. That is a separate hardware block outside of the CPUs. Apple refers to this feature as "AMX" in their marketing documentation.

While AMX could be used for deep learning in a pinch despite the lack of support for common formats like fp16 and int8, I suspect Apple had some other use cases in mind as well. For example, 64-bit float support is expensive and generally useless for ML. However, they are useful (though not necessarily required) in problems such as bundle adjustment that may appear in the context of frameworks like ARKit.
So with regards to getting as close to Apple as possible they've succeeded?
Actually no, land is the one thing you can't make more of, which is why economists say a land value tax is one of the most efficient taxes (since supply is fixed, taxes can't reduce supply).

It's true you can make more housing by building up, but only if city zoning allows, which NIMBYs don't want.
Tesla has been religious about never blending regen and mechanical braking. The accelerator only controls the motors, the brake pedal only controls the brakes. They’ve broken that somewhat now with one-pedal driving mode. The only way they could make regen feel consistent with a cold or full battery would be to blend in friction braking to make up the difference, which is just not something Tesla is into doing.

My BMW i3 did this really well, FWIW.
I absolutely take inheritance into account when having backups lasting for a hundred years, but regardless of how uninteresting my data looks, we don't know if today's boring data would be invaluable for science in the future. We show slippers from 5000 years ago in museums today and they're invaluable. Consider the person who owned it, walking on a national treasure, unaware. Maybe, they didn't even like the slippers, found them boring. :)
This tool looks cool. Unfortunately, it looks like this tool in export-only. Ideally, one wants a single source of truth, and if your reviewed artifacts can't be imported for execution, then your code review can't be reviewing your source of truth. Don't get me wrong: it's much better than reviewing JSON diffs, but in highly regulated/conservative industries, we'd prefer to be reviewing the actual code that gets compiled/interpreted.

The very most important thing an OS does is run software on hardware. Therefore any new entrant into the OS market must support as much software and hardware as possible. The former is actually kinda doable with compatibility layers and emulation, the latter is basically impossible to catch up on.
You're right. That reminded me that I really don't know the state of my cold backups.
That feels like a dream job for a temporary amount of time. And very effective too. I assume the VFX studio is in Melbourne?
Term limits
I agree with this so much. I used to think Apple's products were the best and were so joyful to use. I still go back to try the newest macs with the old foolish expectations and walk out disappointed every time.

I've tried PCs, they just aren't on the same level as Apple's hardware and I hate Windows.

I've seen some cool customizations of Linux but would really rather not have to spend that time myself to get to a place where I'm productive. I want something that 90% "just works", but that's also pleasing to use.

I really wish there was a solid third option, new tech is so cool yet the options available today seem so boring!
Use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parchive and add as much redundancy as you like. A lot cheaper to over-provision, than to create the uber-archive medium.
You can't in any practical sense. Locomotives don't have a problem carrying the weight of a diesel engine plus a generator; in fact the extra weight works in their favor.

If you tried that trick with an airplane it would never get off the ground. Locomotives use this system not for efficiency but because they need the low-end torque electric motors provide. (If they only needed efficiency they'd just drive the wheels with the diesel engine directly.) Airplanes don't need torque; they need power.

You can run an airplane on batteries but only for a few minutes with modern battery technology. Practical battery-powered aircraft for military applications are not going to happen any time soon. We might see battery-powered air taxis soon but those are not even close to meeting military requirements for fighters, transports, etc.
Map of Chinese global investment footprint
I worked with a DJI matrice for some research projects so it is a larger one than most consumers but man those things are crazy dangerous. The propellors can cut off your fingers or cause serious damage if it hits someone. Not to mention a piece of metal falling out of the sky onto someone. I agree heavily they need more safety mechanisms
Related: the video of Navalny calling one of the FSB agents who poisoned him is definitely the best prank of 2020 [1]. (Video has English subs)

Watching Navalny grill Konstantin Kudryavtsev about why they failed to kill Navalny (flight quickly grounded, quick medical aid on the ground) was unreal and the best spy moment of 2020 for me.

One thing that's been making a difference is Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation's "Smart Voting" system, which helps people vote out "United Russia" members and bring in opposition or at least non-United-Russia candidates [2].

Global by Nature (Part I): Developers
Many of the trades still pay over the average mid-level Software Engineer here in the Midwestern US. Of course who your employer is in either field is going to make a difference.

If this is the direction you're trying to go: I grew up in the trades and keep trying to bounce back into that direction, but always get pulled back towards the technical aspect and/or implementing tech into the business side once anyone in management figures out you can as much as use the Office Suite. I eventually got backed into a spot of not enough "professional" dev experience to leave, and old enough to not be desired to start over as a junior.

If you're dead set, though, I'd start with HVAC - I think it's the best balance of interesting with a little manual effort to it.

then why were seatbelts and safety glass delivered by the free market? why are tesla's significantly safer than other manufacturers of their own free will? Why do they push updates that improve braking to customers that have already paid? Why does volvo specifically advertise their safety as a differentiator?

Do you really think if a company could prove it provides double the survivability of accidents compared to others, the free market wouldn't reward it?

Your claim simply doesn't match reality.
