>You can probably use a computer with software from 20 years ago, but don't expect the web to work well, and to be able to open files made with recent software for example.

There's no real reason why this can't be the case, or at least graceful degradation. The sole reason is because it's all ultimately a battle for control of your computer. Thanks, capitalism

Happens in the US too. It's similar to what's known as "white flight".

White people leave an area due to minorities coming. The new area property value increases... More tax money, resources for schools, better teachers get attracted to schools and districts with more resources.

Also a part of my wonders how much influence schools even have on the kids. Families with more resources can pay to get outside help, like enrolling their kids in Kumon...or getting a private SAT tutor.

Bitcoin
Many peaple are joining bitcoin because it will be done in the future about 2 years but i know they peaple think it’s true but it’s not because peaple are joining it from laptop and there laptop will be hacked and etc this is the new version of it but now the hacker are scamming!!! Take care cz I’m one of them so in past 3 years we robbed the bitcoin so they worked hard for it and if you need more info to not get hacked message me on instagram (itsdavidtn) take care from it!

There seem to be two cases. Rare, but on human scales regularly reoccurring disasters (hurricanes in the east, fires in the west, etc ...) and more-rare "black-swan" events, basically 100+ frequencies.

The more regular disasters seem to be dealt with in markets. Insurance companies will have requirements to reimbursement, some companies will stockpile goods, multi-region firms will have DR plans etc. Alternatively governments regulations can require preventative measures and have stockpiles in place. In practice both happen to varying degrees of success. Price gouging allows for more inter-region support on a for-profit basis, but probably also disincents some charitable actions. On net we probably should allow "entrepreneurial gouging" (like a guy buying a water truck in a non-disaster area, driving it to a disaster area and charging high prices) It might be distasteful, but if it is providing net-benefit of otherwise unattainable resources that is still better. But companies organizing and planning around this, seems much more sinister. Like the water company charging more for potable water, rather than spending their time and effort fixing the system for everyone. That type of thing is probably better prohibited and regulated.

But the more rare events, nobody seems to handle well. Governments and private enterprises alike tend to only prepare for the last crisis. I'm not sure there is a government vs private comparison, so much as a human failure. I suspect good government regulation is going to be better, because it can sustain longer-term initiatives, but getting the policy to be "good" and not corrupted by grift is difficult, especially with out the feedback loop of reality.
The device used is extraordinary. The US has been using it for a year and a half in adult trials. Transmedics also has devices for the lungs and liver. Livers and to a lesser extent lungs already get transplanted after cardiac death when they’re judged to be viable— the key being that this device could quality of those organs and therefore more could be transplanted! This could benefit a lot of people— not just hearts!

Alcoa owns 24-26% of a very large hydroelectric dam in Wenatchee Washington. It’s more profitable to sell their power shares then to run their plant, so the largest(also one of the best paying) employer in town shuttered their plant to sell power instead.

This is a good point.

If an employer pays Y for X, but gets X+1 for the price of Y, why would he then bump you up to Y+1 if they don't have to? You're communicating through your actions that this is an okay state of affairs. You might do a bit of that X+1 work for some time to give you leverage during EOY reviews, but that's because you want that salary bump. Whether it will actually result in one is a different matter.

Jobs aren't charity and business is business. There's nothing inherently noble about doing a disproportionate amount of free work for a profit making company, especially when you have other obligations outside of work. Believing it is noble is a kind of Stockholm syndrome. The very essence of companies is to provide a service or product for a price as a just exchange of goods. The very nature of your employment is that they need someone to help make the service or product to get the money they want in exchange for a just fraction of the profits. When employees stop caring about adequate compensation, this results in a creeping exploitation.
The second article mentions thermal cycling -- I always thought that running 24/7 is actually less damaging then cycling (i.e. a gaming rig or a MacBook that does 30->90->30 °C multiple times a day.)

Technology is just a tool like a spoon.
It is uninteresting and boring on its own account.

As an engineer what you can achieve, what you produce should excite you, what you produce, something that is useful and used. Something important. The product.

Technology is just an aspect to achoeve it. One of many. It can be exciting, it can be boring, but the ultimate excitement is the creation of something useful, not using a tool...

If the tool has the focus that is more like entertainment. Not engineering.

Use whatever you need, boring or exciting alike!
Let the task and the product excite you, not the tools.

Choose boring technology, and every other person can copy your work.
Choose exciting new technology, you will be able to have features that few can replicate, or it will take them more time to do so.
The question should be, are the features you need important for your business or have a supporting role only? U dont need to re-invent the wheel and use the greatest and latest to run a database. But u definitely need to have a cutting edge feature that others will have tough time building.

I think that anyone developing a social media app for the 2020s will need to make a conscious decision to not let users pick their own unique identifiers. You can't expect users to protect themselves, because you don't know what dangers might exist in the future for them that do not exist today.

The other thing you can do is not allow your API to iterate over the set of all users by user-set identifier. It's an extreme flaw of the telephone numbering system. You would think by the 2020s we'd have learned to use a unique UUID designation for every user for any public facing APIs. If users want to link to it on their public pages, that would be on them.
Why would you prefer Typescript over, say, Clojurescript if functional is your priority? It's the immutability that matters in functional. Typescript is just a better way to manage mutable code.

Mining demand is volatile and will use whatever gives them best hashing/$ ratio - pissing miners off might lose you some cash short term but gamers are much more susceptible to branding, and not to mention devs optimise for popular hardware - if AMD suddenly became a major market % holder in the gaming market because NV shipped their silicon to miners, once mining dips down they get slammed. And if they are hoping production will ramp up to match demand some time in the future they still want to have a winning product.
Nations agreed on laws for ocean and air travel. Countries that disobey them are ostracized or even subject to violence. Nations could in theory do the same for polluting the ocean and air. But that gets viewed as denying developing countries the benefits developed countries had.
Transmission costs are not the only reason why people in different regions pay different prices for retail energy. Retail prices include far more than the pure generation and transmission costs. You can’t use those numbers to assume transmission is the primary driver of cost.

The actual cost of sending power across the grid is relatively low.

The Wikipedia page on power transmission is a good place to get an introduction: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_transmission

Specifically:

> The cost of high voltage electricity transmission (as opposed to the costs of electric power distribution) is comparatively low, compared to all other costs arising in a consumer's electricity bill. In the UK, transmission costs are about 0.2 p per kWh compared to a delivered domestic price of around 10 p per kWh.
Any openly available tool can be used by anyone for any purpose. The idea that we can pick and choose is ridiculous, and with the exception of rare cases, avoidance of building generally useful tools for the chance that bad actors will also use them is a losing proposition.
Disruptive Technologies: Catching the Wave
Ah, I think I see... you're saying that Facebook is an overall net negative to society. Even you now acknowledge that it has some uses, but you consider them to be outweighted by its negatives.

Your original comment made out that Facebook has no uses at all. I think you were just trying to really emphasise your point that it's a net benefit overall, but you've ended up saying something totally different. I know that sounds pedantic but it undermines your point because most people will read its literal meaning (like I did) and then just think, oh, this comment is factually incorrect.

The argument is that Bitcoin work very well as a store of value, and is proven (10+ years in operation with little-to-no incidents, despite a huge amount of attempts to attack the network). It doesn't need to be "perfect" in every front.

L2 solutions still transact the same tokens as their L1 counterparts.

Other solutions may potentially be "better" technically, but that doesn't mean they are proven in the long run, and the on-ramp, corporate, etc. infrastructure is not in place for them.
To my knowledge they didn't shut it down, PS4 architecture moved to standard x86 PC so no longer advanced vector units available through PlayStation that you couldn't get separately in an easier to work with way. This led to the rise of the current Top 500 which are a mix of CPU and GPU.

2XX level is for the action succeeding.

In the real world, updating your balance to the same number should be a 200, however in some weird financial world, it may be a 400 because you may not be allowed to set the same balance due to some financial rule. A 500 is a terrible choice unless setting the balance caused an error at your code/infrastructure level.

So you’ve moved the goalposts, as always happens with these discussions.

I’m sorry, but if your counter argument just ignores what I said, I’m not going to bother addressing your points either.
While taxing carbon usage is a good idea, there is something fundamentally wrong with the idea of allocating so much resources, in servers, in power and in space, for what essentially doesn't improve people's lives.

That this craze receives so much attention and funding while we face very real existential challenges is maddening.

There are some opportunities out there. While many industries have recovered close to pre-Covid levels, some have not. For example British aviation companies which have been hit by the double-whammy of Covid and Brexit might be good investments.

Reminds me of a Spanish forum dedicated to making ebooks, they had standardized formats and tutorials and the ebooks where of high quality because people would help each other, each book had its dedicated thread, and try to one-up each other or procure rare books difficult to find. The site went down, because some books engaged in robbery by ship at high sea, and a bunch of copycats appeared but I never found the forums again. Such a shame because that was the most valuable part of the site.
That’s a completely separate issue to the one mentioned by the OP.

Are you implying that FRS users and Baofeng users are one and the same? This is definitely not true if so.

In my neighborhood as one example, FRS users purchase from one of the local or local chain stores, which carry Cobra, Midland, or Motorola radios.

Even if you purchase from Amazon, they changed their rules some time ago and require proper FCC certification on all radios. This means that you can't buy an FRS radio from Amazon which will let you do what you said. Even the Baofeng FRS units will come without the ability to go into ham bands.

And even then, if you managed to buy FRS radios without FCC certification, they come pre-programmed with FRS channels (so that they do what the label says they do) and would have to be programmed manually to use ham frequencies. I'm not sure which FRS users would or could realistically go through the trouble to do that, if any.
> I actually mentioned that. Like, immediately after the quoted phrase.

I'm rereading your previous comment multiple times but unfortunately still failing to see what you're referring to. The only explanation I can see is "we were quite familiar with Lattner and LLVM, so we were quite aware of his propensity for WIN. That gave me some confidence, going forward."

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "a full system API", and does Apple ever announce a product roadmap? I would definitely be interested in this roadmap of which you speak. :-)
