They could just discharge one capacitor into another. The capacitor at the station (or in your garage) could slowly charge over a long period. Then you could move that power into your car's capacitor almost instantly on demand, limited only by the thickness of your cables.

There was discussion of it early on, but there's no evidence that it was done on any significant scale outside of the efforts of individual pharma companies working on their own supply chains.

It's possible that I'm wrong! Maybe we invested everything possible and couldn't have done significantly more. But it's striking that this article doesn't even address that question.

Basically, I haven't seen any evidence that this take is wrong: https://thezvi.wordpress.com/2021/01/28/covid-bill-gates-and...
Good luck with that. You have no idea of what you're up against. Let's just start with the basics:

1) Which types of attention will you measure and how do you differentiate between them?

2) Do you have an extensive body of testing to establish baselines, normals, standard deviations, and the like?

3) Do you expect a psychiatrist to write a prescription of a scheduled drug for anyone based on something they downloaded off of, say, sourceforge, or cloned out of GitHub?

Even if you valued your time at a buck an hour, you're not gonna get cheaper than forking over your precious currency to some rent-seeker.

That's a good point. But is it better to raise taxes on fossil fuel, or decide to ship oil via train instead of pipeline? I'm not sure what the exact tradeoff would be if train delivered oil was a little more expensive. A little more expensive would lead to a little less usage while the delilvery would pump more pollution into the air. The math might work out out your way or my way.

If I could snap my fingers, I would raise the tax on oil dramatically, and ship oil via pipeline until renewables actually take over and the demand for fossil fuel actually goes down. It seems to me that it would be better for the environment than other alternatives.
Fifth one is better then 4th and I would say also better then 3th.

The marginal tax rate can be ~50% for many high-income earners in CA. If you make ~550k, you would be paying 37% to federal and 11-12% to state.

Therefore, when thinking about increasing/decreasing my earnings at that margin (raises, changing pre-tax contributions like 401k or FSA, etc), it would be correct to use that 50% number.

This is obviously incorrect if you wanted to talk about effective tax rate. But using effective tax rate is also incorrect when changing marginal income. So it depends on context.

> I generally keep in my head that C/CPP is roughly 100x faster than python

Right; here is a recent scientific publication which confirms about factor 50 speed-down from C++ to Python for the given micro benchmarks: https://authors.elsevier.com/a/1cP%7ELc7X4-XPM;
see table 4. The more time Python spends in native procedures, the more favorable the ratio is for Python; this is probably the reason why only around factor ten was measured here.

How do you perform validatable RNG in a smart contract, without an untrustable oracle service? The problem with smart contracts is that they can't deal with outside interfaces.

The only gambling smart contract I'm aware of is the Mayweather/McGregor one, which broke because the API they used to report the win changed from reporting 'w' for win and 'l' for loss to 'W' for win and 'L' for loss, and nobody could update it.

I've been in the speaking industry ever since I started working full time "illegally" when I was still a teenager for a politically focused speakers bureau.

No doubt it my mind, WSB and other agencies are "laundering" political kickbacks through speaking fees. It's long been an open secret/assumption in the industry.

I co-founded a startup that published speaking fees, the IASB tried to find an angle to come after us but failed. Eventually proxies came after us to try and intimidate us from publishing fee and speaking calendars for politicians and pundits.
Dinosay is a humble, simple, nice and paleolithic alternative to cowsay
Hi everyone, I have developed a fun little tool (it really doesn't do any good except to get a laugh) that wants to be a freer alternative than cowsay, but with a default dinosaur list.

His name is dinosay and the link to the project is this: https://github.com/MatteoGuadrini/dinosay
I wanted to hear from anyone about development suggestions or new ideas or if you like it.

If you like it, I'd love to see your star on github.
Thank you all

Hi,

As someone who worked in this space for just shy of a decade, you're wrong. The problems often reduce down to challenges that are familiar to most people in large scale software (CRUD entry, redistribution of %s or #s, scaling and performance, testing, etc), and people who love their craft will enjoy solving those challenges. It's like saying no one could ever possibly enjoy math; just silly.
>I'm shooting for 3 books this year, and that's a 200% increase over last year!

I'm gonna countersignal the other guy who replied to you and tell you that this is great news. I have had years in my life when I have read 40+ books, and years where I have read none at all. Setting a goal to carve off time for reading is huge. There is something special about books, something no other form of media does in terms of engaging your brain as an active participant. It's good for you.
If most politicians are willing to walk inside the line (which is a good thing), maybe we need to change where the line is, if it's not benefitting society.

Default configuration exists for multiple reasons: 1) to provide minimally working software so that the user isn't burdened by unnecessary configuration, 2) to facilitate easier testing of minimal functionality, 3) to keep configuration DRY, and 4) to stop-gap missing configuration.

Of those, only 4) relates to typing. But even then it often bears no relation to real typing, because often there's no schema or typing at all, and usually application has no idea what version a given configuration relates to.

In addition to achieving the above 4 points, we also need to be able to differentiate between default and modified configuration, so the application can override defaults successfully. You can keep default and modified configs separate a number of ways. You can hard-code it in the application, which is fine for the application. But it's a pain in the ass for the user. And as a packager, you cannot expect files in /etc/ to always be "defaults", as the user/administrator expects these to be configured by themselves at any time. And if you want to upgrade software, there needs to be a way to differentiate the versions of default configuration to compare the modified configuration to.

The best way to do this is to package default configuration in /usr/share/. The user then has the job of upgrading their modified configuration in /etc/, and they can use /usr/share/ as a reference, in combination with some UPGRADING guide.

Distros have long had a convention to package a default distro-specific configuration in /etc/, so that when the app first starts, it can work out of the box. But then when you'd upgrade a package, the distro would have to figure out what to do with the once-default-but-now-modified files in /etc/. This just adds unnecessary burden on the distro. Instead, the user needs to look at their own manual configuration and update it if necessary. But the default configuration for the system should remain virgin and independent, in /usr/share/.

And of course, none of this applies to configuration that can't be default. The application should always die if it doesn't find required configuration.
I don't know if they need to pivot [i.e. switch their entire strategy]. They have almost overnight just developed a legion of brand loyal customers. What they need to do is improve operations, improve their e-presence and figure out new products to bring to market (i.e. not traditional games). And of course make the people who bought into the brand happy.

If they can capitalize on the goodwill and build products that people like and not over-monetize them I think they are in a position to do well over the long term as, hopefully, a lot of these stock holders are actually long term holders.

My point is that you don't dedicate their life to public service, just to purposefully get your former classmates in the private sector, who had always been magnitudes richer than you, even richer. If you did decide to change your mind, your speaking fees would be much more than a couple hundred thousand dollars.
Censorship is a tough topic. As long as Haven is restricted to private posting, then it should be able to operate with 100% freedom of speech. When you send an email to your friend, you get 100% freedom of speech. Private, access restricted posting should be equivalent.

If I were to explore public posting on Haven, then censorship/moderation becomes an issue. Public posting is outside of the focus I want to have and this would just make it more complicated for Haven so I'm not planning to explore anything that lets you "grow your audience"--I'm focusing on private sharing with your existing community.

There is the 'only so much time in the day' issue too. If you have millions (or even 1000's if they are high touch) of customers, you'll never be able to code if you're spending your time talking to them - and it will probably be required to develop specialized skills in talking to them too.

At some point, specialization has to happen. It also has drawbacks. Small teams are often dramatically more effective than large teams for similar reasons (ownership of the problem, less communication/education overhead), but they can only scale so far.
I replied to another comment with this story which has now been downvoted to oblivion, but I'd highly recommend another article on the topic from the washington post[1], it has a far better narrative (in my opinion).

At the start of his career as a private equity investor, he got one of those offers he couldn't refuse, a billion dollar investment from a single source that came with some strings. When the strings came undone in the form of govt. investigation into the tax obfuscation, he tried to fix it by applying for a IRS program which was rejected. He then went 0 -> 100% on headline making philanthropy.

Essentially he made a deal with the devil and came out of it without a scratch, relatively speaking. Perhaps came out ahead would be a better way of phrasing that. Obviously none of this takes away from the work/drive that went into making Vista successful, but it's still an interesting story of how he got his start.

> Brockman’s offer set Smith up with his own private equity firm, Vista Equity Partners, and more than $1 billion in capital to invest, according to Smith’s statement to prosecutors. That arrangement eventually allowed Smith to become a billionaire himself.

Both aspects stem from a deal Smith and Brockman made 20 years ago, one that joined the unlikely pair in a venture with vast ambitions. Smith, the determined son of Denver schoolteachers, was then an aspiring financier; Brockman was older and far wealthier, a man who had already made a fortune with a company that sold software for the automotive industry.

These two sides of Smith — the impressive generosity on one and the admitted tax evasion on the other — may be hard to reconcile. But they are inextricable, according to documents reviewed by The Washington Post, including charity filings with tax authorities and Justice Department court filings.

Smith applied for the IRS program in March 2014 but was quickly rejected. This is typically a sign the agency already is scrutinizing the applicant’s tax filings, former federal prosecutors said.

It is about this time that Smith became a major philanthropist, frequently making headlines with his generosity.

It takes a profoundly ignorant view of historical facts to ignore the immense pervasiveness of foreign interference in the Russian Civil War.

The mere presence of the Bolsheviks as a dominant force was due to foreign interference, as the Germans installed him and his friends in an attempt to destabilize the Russian Empire.

Trotsky's growth in authoritarianism, when he was previously a moderating force, started with the opportunistic German attacks at the fleets of the Red Army, and of course his rise to power from a middling figure to a preeminent Bolshevik was only made possible by German incitement of the Bolshevik movement to begin with.

Even Stalin's justification for power was based on (justified) appeals to centrally planned heavy industries, whose main motivation was military power which was necessary to to threats of invasion.

It is clear to anyone that both Stalin and Trotsky would have had much, much less power if they weren't able to justify centralization on the necessity to resist foreign agression, beyond that the consolidation of the Bolsheviks to begin with was a German plot.
We don't know how much it changes. We don't have much information on the difference between the ratio of $measurement0 : $measurement1 between the two groups. Once everyone is vaccinated (antivaxxers don't count, they get what they get), symptom rate is all that matters. But in the interim months, transmission rate from vaccinated sources is incredibly important, which is partly determined by infection rate among vaccinated.
season 4 is largely character building, so if that's important to you, you'll miss a lot. we learn an Important Fact in the last episode, but other than that it doesn't advance the protomolecule part of the story much. you can probably just read the wiki for that. I will say the political shifts in season 5 are going to seem out of left field without the context of season 4.

Watching this whole saga from the sideline (no investments aside from 401k, which I don’t look at), it has been really disappointing to watch everyone acting like lemmings.

The PC market is basically all download now. Most pre-built gaming PCs don't have disc drives, and then gaming laptops with disc drives are basically non-existent.

This wouldn't even be an argument if Citadel wasn't operating in the the market as if it were a casino. Yellen is extremely talented and an expert in her field. She should be paid for those skills and knowledge.

This idea that public officials shouldn't be participating in the society that we have created and that they should be held up to the Standards of Mother Teresa or Ghandi is idiotic, IMO.

The mere fact that we are even discussing this is ridiculous, and instead should be discussing what do we expect from our markets. Should they be a free market that should resemble the "fundamental" price of an asset or is it just a casino where everyone is in search of a greater fool and acting accordingly? It seems more and more likely that if we allow for it to behave like B, we're not going to get A.

> what grid can support this?

The charging rate is limited both by the charging controller on the car, and the controller on the charging station. The standards for both of these are developed in consortia that include representatives of utilities and grid operators, so these things get taken into consideration at a very early stage.

> Unless you limit the rate, but then what's the benefit

Yes, as you say, specialized stations that have a buffer between themselves and the grid.

Also, regenerative braking requires storage systems to absorb much higher instant power than plug in charging. If the round trip efficiency of these is better than existing battery tech, that would also improve overall range.
