I'm going to assume you aren't trying to be disingenuous.

First off, the kerosene rockets are going to be replaced with methane ones so that will greatly reduce the carbon output.

Secondly, he has stated many times that once they're flying regularly they'll be creating methane fuel themselves from carbon capture.

Additionally, you have to expel mass to build a rocket. That's a requirement. You can do it with no carbon with hydrogen-oxygen rockets, but hydrogen has a lot of issues with it. Also much as people like to talk about hydrogen being green, the vast majority of all current Hydrogen is from methane steam reforming and has quite the carbon footprint.
The funniest part is that this is paired with a lack of belief in the free market. Think of all the real estate that is taken up with gas stations. Do we think those are all going to exist forever despite a shrinking customer base? As society transfers to more EVs, gas stations can transition to EV charging stations. Those stations can be denser too since a charger doesn't require much more room than a parking space. Combine that with the trend of faster and faster charging and the need for a dedicated home charger will decrease over time.
A veterinarian was the one who diagnosed me with Addison's disease, after noticing that my neuromuscular symptoms were similar to German Shepherds with the condition. This was after seeing 5+ human specialists who either couldn't figure out what was wrong, or (more commonly) didn't believe anything was wrong.

Addison's is deadly if left untreated. According to my endocrinologist, I was scarily close to death.

Doctors are quick to discourage patients from "Googling their symptoms", but patients (and their veterinary friends, lol) need to advocate for themselves. If I hadn't taken the tip about Addison's seriously and demanded tests from my primary care, I could very well be dead.
But again, concerns over range are really just a type of concern over public charging capacity.

If the people who drive those roads regularly can charge on public chargers, then people driving through on long trips also have the ability to charge there. Thus range isn't a concern.
I haven't used Adium in like 15 years but that honking noise will be with me for eternity.
Well that's the theory. In practice the Toyota Prius with its highly complex hybrid drivetrain is far more reliable and durable than any Tesla. Proper engineering and build quality counts for a lot.
We actually can optain the numbers. Roscomos is a public agency. They buy the rockets from the Progress join venture, and a public the exact cost of both the rocket and the launch. The cost of only the rocket is around 5 million dollars.

The total cost in 2018 for a Soyuz launch to Roscosmos is 3.5 to 4 billion 2018 rubles, which is around 20-23 million dollars per seat.

The cost is kind of at the factory because Roscomos partially builds some systems of Soyuz. But in the end it costs Roscosmos 20 million to put someone into space using a Soyuz, and it costs NASA 55 million to do it via SpaceX.

I'm comparing the cost of launching an astronaut to the ISS. For Soyuz, since the rocket is not reusable, this is the cost of the rocket plus capsule plus payload plus préparation, tracking, etc.. For SpaceX, it is just the cost of their launch. Soyuz is simply so well engineered that it still is cheaper, even though the SpaceX rocket is reusable.
No one is forcing you to work for an agency shop against your will like the GP is claiming, though. If you don't want to pay dues, then you're free to quit and find another employer. Similar to if your employer decided employees needs to pay for uniforms or whatever, you're free to quit and find a job that doesn't require that.
But they were genetically related to him. I don't think this is a good example.

Sad that it hasn't had an update in over 5 years, but also good in the sense that it's not becoming a shadow of it's former self and is still has the same solid principles and themes it's had for years.

How do you feel about the platform risk factor?

Are there agreements in place that provide meaningful protection against this?
The problem is that the advertising revenue is also controlled by Google. Google plays both sides of the ad auction market while also controlling site visibility in the first place.

In short, Google decides how many people sees your site and how much Google pays for those views. News sites have no power to negotiate without government intervention.
That's an interesting point. I'd even go a step further and say that which of those two definitions is true determines whether time travel is possible. Put another way, conservation across space-time (instead of a single point in time) is necessary for time travel to exist, and the existence of time travel is the only reason conservation would be across space-time.
In MySQL/MariaDB this is what's known as non-deterministic behaviour so row or mixed replication is used to mitigate.

Statement based (high level) replication is very useful for i.e. "insert into tbl0 select col0 from tbl1 order by col1" as you would only need to send the query not the individual row data.
I as a developer take the side that allows me to use the open source code as I see fit based on the license terms provided. Elastic initially chose a license which would allow them to capture more of the market/mind space of developers and now that they've accomplished that they want to fully monetize those developers.
Hi I'm really interested in edtech, can you share some opportunities that exist in that space ?

Actually, this includes the energy used by my water heater, refrigerator and heat/cooling over night after midnight as noted on the sheet. So the savings are even greater :)

Also, the gasoline numbers are actual numbers at the pump. I logged them every time I filled up my old 2014 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid. The amount of energy in a gallon of gasoline is not theoretical, it is very close to 33.7kWh.
Being 128-bits allows you to utilize the same database/object types as UUID.

That's the main benefit IMO. I couldn't stick a KSUID into my Postgres UUID column, i'd have to write a new data type to store that.
> Thirty minutes is too long. We need ten minutes.

How is 30 minutes too long? If you plan your charging around the time you go to run errands, 30 minutes is probably adequate. This is especially true in pandemic times where a trip to get groceries is may be preceded by a 5-10 minute wait in line.
Probably true with commercial software but open source (e.g. Gnome) suffers from the same problem
Does anyone know if the chip can be purchased from distributors like Mouser or Digikey? If not, will it be eventually?

This is the first thing I look at before deciding to invest in learning a new chip. I specifically look for something that is guaranteed to be available for a long time and not change.

I'd love to go EV, but I rented apartments before finally buying a condo. Where am I supposed to charge?

The greenest option I can realistically go for is a hybrid, but I'll probably wind up going for a regular ICE car, as they typically have much better acceleration than hybrids, esp at highway passing speeds.

Yeah, I think in theory it actually might benefit casual internet users to not have net neutrality because it would allow ISPs to better price discriminate based on what the customer actually wants/cares about.

This is in theory of course and not necessarily what will happen in reality.
It makes me so happy to read this! I too have had a drastic transformation in terms of life quality.

I second the Anti-inflammatory diet and exercise (even just walking contributes greatly). I echo the supplement suggestions and also recommend glucosamine+chondroitin (which happens to lower all-cause mortality significantly).

Red meats (high omega 6 content), deeply fried foods, gluten (plenty of grain alternatives to wheat and corn), uncultured dairy (cheese seems ok, plenty of alt-milks out there), and sugar not from fruit can trigger inflammation for me. I might describe my diet as vegan+eggs+fish (ovo-pescaterian?)

There is a wealth of information online to tailor one's diet. Honestly - this is a diet that everyone can benefit from health wise.
Are Amazon writing the software that transforms and loads the data into ES, as well queries ES? If yes, they are an end-user. If not, they are a managed service provider.

There is no ambiguity in this case, they are offering the exact same elasticsearch API.

But this is not even the point. I'm not interested in the legal distinctions here at all, thats for the lawyers to delineate in more detail. The point is that Amazon are practically throwing away a huge business opportunity that would also encourage more FOSS to be built in a sustainable way ("app store" / "managed service store") for some short term gain, by throwing companies such as MongoDB and Elastic under the bus.

We've collectively been running a huge experiment for the last year that has pretty conclusively proven this hypothesis false.
I think you're misattributing inter-state violence to domestic violence. At best, your argument discounts European states like Germany, who, of course, had reform imposed by outside forces. (On that note, East/West German reunification is an example in favor of my prior point)

$dayjob does provide shared charging infrastructure, and discovered there wasn't enough amperage going to the office park to run all of the chargers it does have at full speed. (Each charger can charge one car at full speed, but if both cables are plugged in, it will charge each at a reduced speed.) They currently have ~60 chargers on a 5-building campus. Given the square footage of the campus and the parking minimums set by the city, they'd need 25x that in order to convert every single parking spot with a charger.

We'd need some pretty serious upgrades to our electrical transmission infrastructure to get L2 charging speeds from "every lamppost" as some would propose.
What is a "problem validation platform"?
I guess I'm not terribly disappointed that Google may depriving them of that kind of revenue stream.
You have to keep things going for 3 years, but I think such a trip is still pretty straightforward with our current abilities.

I honestly don't think News is worth the business headache of this. I suspect Google makes most of its ad revenue from brand keywords (the first result for "nike" being an ad for nike.com) and e-commerce keywords. News is a nice-to-have for users, but if they left it to a third party, it wouldn't drive away users or much revenue.

I had to pause when they use the term "anti-pattern". It may be an anti-pattern for cloud spanner but it's not an anti-pattern in other distributed systems, for example cassandra.

Based on having reviewed a bit more than 1/2 of the ~4000 in the state, they are almost all gas stations with a canopy and convenience store.

There's some older places with no canopy and some boat and rec fuel sales, but a few dozen.

Michigan likely has "lots" of gas stations, as regulation has historically been friendly to personal vehicles, but I wouldn't take Google as gospel.

later: the Google results appear to be paginated to ~20 results at a time.
Why does that validate the idea that people need a better quality camera? If anything, I feel like logitech’s success despite their stagnation validates that most people are satisfied with acceptable quality.

At which point battery will be severely range degraded... IMO Li-ion is a mistake for Europe... LFP (LifePo4) would probably be better for longevity and adequate for range...

Leak down test, oil pressure, opening the filler cap for blow by, sound... Plenty of accessible options there that will diagnose a bad bottom-end or piston rings. Further, your average Joe can replace crank bearings in an afternoon and many could re-ring an engine with some help from youtube. Your average Honda will need this once every 200-400k miles (14-25 average 14k driving years) with proper oil changes.

There are a lot more components (cells) in a battery pack than rotating components in an average engine. I'm unsure if they're generally individually addressable, but I know they're not designed to be serviced at the cell level. That has you replacing the battery pack any time there is a problem, a many thousands of dollars adventure just in parts. There's also no major differentiator from a software perspective between "the battery is old and has reduced capacity" and "the battery is swelling and has reduced capacity". The latter could lead without warning to a catastrophic failure that would make a ringland failure laughable.

I do appreciate your view is held by many consumers who purchase a new or certified pre-owned car every N years. For those in lower income brackets (including most countries in the world) or who like to buy things that last, electric cars don't seem to carry a huge value proposition over a traditional ICE car.
The paper Restoring metabolism of myeloid cells reverses cognitive decline in ageing [1]:

> Here we show that in ageing mice myeloid cell bioenergetics are suppressed in response to increased signalling by the lipid messenger prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), a major modulator of inflammation. In ageing macrophages and microglia, PGE2 signalling through its EP2 receptor promotes the sequestration of glucose into glycogen, reducing glucose flux and mitochondrial respiration. This energy-deficient state, which drives maladaptive pro-inflammatory responses, is further augmented by a dependence of aged myeloid cells on glucose as a principal fuel source. In aged mice, inhibition of myeloid EP2 signalling rejuvenates cellular bioenergetics, systemic and brain inflammatory states, hippocampal synaptic plasticity and spatial memory. Moreover, blockade of peripheral myeloid EP2 signalling is sufficient to restore cognition in aged mice. Our study suggests that cognitive ageing is not a static or irrevocable condition but can be reversed by reprogramming myeloid glucose metabolism to restore youthful immune functions.

"But, aha!, I now have new data storage problems. Rsync.net could be a great solution again. So, I re-signed up and setup my primary web server to mirror all of my GitHub repos over to them each night. Here's the script I'm using..."

We will make a standalone announcement mid-February, but in advance of that let me share that we have built a replication format into the rsync.net platform that lets you schedule automated cloning of repos from any source (private, github, gitlab, etc.) on whatever schedule you choose.

It includes API options that allow you to back up "extras" like issues, the wiki, etc. LFS is also supported.

So, while you've always been able to do things like this:

ssh user@rsync.net "git clone git://github.com/freebsd/freebsd.git freebsd"

... you can now supply a list of repos and access tokens/keys (presumably read-only) and set up a central store of git-based assets that updates on a schedule.
Pesky exceptions ruining perfectly good generalizations. You are right though. There is a reason for most roles. I just had my fill with HR lately so I am mildly biased against.
Here's one counterpoint, that doesn't necessarily argue against the author (I love Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 theming btw!) -- diminishing ownership of the computer experience over the years gave me one great benefit, that is I'm much less reliant/tethered to everything on my computer.

Sure, it's not an effect of themes, for sure. It's everything from, code for all my personal projects are in a git repo somewhere online, important personal media are backed up in the cloud or external drives, text chat history are backed up in some app or in the cloud, music is listened to on some app, etc. So much so that if a laptop of mine is bricked randomly one day, I don't suffer much of a loss (other than spending the money to get a new one).

Back in the 90s or early 00s, it would've been catastrophic to lose a computer. I would have had so many personal files of all kinds, customizations of all kinds, that would be lost. Nowadays, a machine is mostly disposable. If one is lost, I simply get a new one, and all my stuff is online or accessible somewhere. I no longer think of my computer as a prized possession I can't lose, but rather just another tool.

How does $100 even compare? Currently in California there is a 79.6 cent tax(18.4 federal + 61.2 state) on a gallon of gasoline (I googled and it came up with a price of $3.36 per gallon. That boils down to a ~24% tax on gasoline. So for spending $416 dollars on gas, you'd be paying $100 of tax. I don't think paying $100 is even remotely enough to make up for the missing revenue.

Further, a fixed fee penalizes people that drive a lot exactly as much as people that barely drive whereas a tax on the consumed quantity, gas or electricity, takes into account how much a person is using the road infrastructure.
DroidCam works for my requirements: http://www.dev47apps.com .. it installs a virtual webcam and microphone on Windows, and transmits the video and audio from the phone camera/microphone.
I was in a similar situation about ~4 years ago as one of the only devs running linux in an all-windows shop. I used Pidgin as a Lync client. It had some downsides, I remember "status" notifications were particularly buggy, and screen-sharing/video obviously didn't work at all, but for one-on-one text chat it was fine! YMMV though as this was a while ago.
Closest I can think of is Droidcam, which works great on Windows at least - on a wired connection.
