> The grid, and thus electric cars run on fossil fuel. Contrary to your belief, expensive unereliables such as solar, and wind cannot run the grid by definition. Solar and wind are great, when they are up.

Solar and wind are the cheapest electrical generation technologies, even when backed by battery storage [1]. Not that Germany didn't misstep by shuttering nuclear for coal, but they also have transmission challenges between high renewable potential geographies and load centers [2].

>"The video by digital artist Beeple, whose real name is Mike Winkelmann, was authenticated by blockchain, which serves as a digital signature to certify who owns it and that it is the original work.

It’s a new type of digital asset - known as a non-fungible token (NFT) - that has exploded in popularity during the pandemic as enthusiasts and investors scramble to spend enormous sums of money on items that only exist online.

Blockchain technology allows the items to be publicly authenticated as one-of-a-kind, unlike traditional online objects which can be endlessly reproduced.

“You can go in the Louvre and take a picture of the Mona Lisa and you can have it there, but it doesn’t have any value because it doesn’t have the provenance or the history of the work,” said Rodriguez-Fraile, who said he first bought Beeple’s piece because of his knowledge of the U.S.-based artist’s work."

[...]

>"The start of the rush for NFTs has been linked with the launch of the U.S. National Basketball Association’s Top Shot website, which allows users to buy and trade NFTs in the form of video highlights of games.

Five months after its launch, the platform says it has over 100,000 buyers and nearly $250 million in sales. The majority of sales take place in the site’s peer-to-peer marketplace, with the NBA getting a royalty on every sale.

The volume is rapidly rising: February has seen sales totalling $198 million as of Friday, heading for a fivefold increase from January’s $44 million, Top Shot said.

Each collectible has “a unique serial number with guaranteed scarcity and protected ownership guaranteed by blockchain”, the site says. “When you own #23/49 of a legendary LeBron James dunk, you’re the only person in the world who does.”

The biggest transaction to date was on Feb. 22, when a user paid $208,000 for a video of a LeBron James slam dunk.

One major NFT enthusiast, who goes by the pseudonym “Pranksy” told Reuters he had invested $600 in an early NFT project in 2017 and has now built that up to a portfolio “worth seven figures” in NFTs and cryptocurrencies. He asked to be anonymous to protect his family’s privacy."

The Twitter summaries of courses, books, interviews etc can be useful, even if it's second- or third-hand. That's because the original material tends to be heavy on fluff. Every business/productivity book has about 50 pages of useful content, wrapped in 250 pages of useless padding.
Interestingly, it looks as if the video is meant to be played in a continuous loop. The first frame and the last frame seem identical.

Edit: right-click on the video and select 'loop'. couldn't find the option before.
That's completely stupid. Tesla can and I'm fairly certain has the data on the exact number of amp-hours that flowed through each cell.

If they are going to void the warranty anyways, they can simply calculate the equivalent miles driven with the amount of Ah used and use that as a basis for voiding or not.

Bastion – A Highly-Available Distributed Fault-Tolerant Runtime for Rust
That's all over the place from a touchtype perspective. 2nd finger? That's a pinkie. And you're supposed to use modifier keys from the opposite hand when available.

So it should be <move right pinkie to hold right Shift> <move left pinkie to hit Z twice>.

I honestly didn't know about ZZ, seems very convenient. :wq! on a qwerty forces the pinkie to travel all the way up to the top row, which is hell. On my home keyboard I use a layer for special characters, which helps, but still I guess I'll stick to ZZ from now on.

This is what's ridiculous about much of the zoning and building codes here. People don't want poor people living in sub-optimal housing, so instead they force them to sleep outside or live with abusive people.
There are enormous environmental and human rare earth mining costs to assumedly "clean" and "green" electric cars, and solar panels.

I got the point quickly and could expand replies easily when interested.
Has OpenGL got any better as an api over the years? Like becoming object oriented? Or is it still the cyptic and verbose pre-OO style library that it was 20 or 25 years ago?
According to their 2019 annual income statement[0], Amazon paid a total of $2.374B of foreign and domestic income tax on pre-tax income of $13.976B. That's 16.9%, not 1.2%. Is the author perhaps comparing US taxes with global income? (Or perhaps just whatever was left over after paying estimated taxes?) That certainly looks to be the case since they cited US federal income tax while the $13.9B pre-tax income figure is global, and even the domestic portion of the income taxes was $1.360B (9.73% of global pre-tax income), not $162M.

Given the federal corporate tax rate of 21%, the domestic tax numbers work out nicely if we assume approximately 46% of pre-tax income was from the US and the remaining 54% was foreign. Which seems plausible to me, though that is obviously a vast over-simplification and ignores a lot of details. In particular, the distribution of foreign and domestic deductible business expenses may not be the same as the distribution of revenues.

Your understanding of pack leaders is out of date knowledge. It's as simple as that. You are operating on a much debunked theory of dominance and social hierarchy that was based on a misunderstanding of wolves in captivity.

Canines have much more complex shared social hierarchies. This is well established today.

You're doing the equivalent of passing off 1950s psychology as modern. Science has moved on. Please do the same.

And then they'll start correlating torque with battery usage.
This seems like a mixture of

A. Relying on geometry and visual metaphors, which seems fantastic from a history-of-mathematics and a visual-working-memory point of view.

B. Encouraging kids to see themselves as mathematicians, which seems healthy.

C. Randomly thinking "kidz these days like tiktok. Put something about that in there." which seems superficial and imposes a lot more work.
I do love Clojure.

But it's always interesting to listen to the experience of the Haskeller's and I keep trying to find the motivation to dig deeper into it.

The responses I've received have me thinking I need to give up finding a way to directly map Haskell into my day to day work and more just approach it on its own terms and then take from it what I can.

is it possible to have working EVs at say USD 4200 based on indian prices?
https://www.renault.co.in/cars/renault-kwid/kwid-price.html
select a random state and city. 400,000 INR.

think how the indian consumer sees this EV calculation. 400K via financing is say 10-25% upfront. Then the balance over say 4-6 years. a monthly fuel cost of 5-10K INR + maintenance is "Affordable" for car buyers in india. This is the lowest end of the spectrum.
For these people, an EV with 100Km range is more than sufficient because fast chargers are starting to come up but the cars need to be cost competitive.

Right now the cheapest EV car in india is around 1.4 Mil INR or 19000 USD.

This is a huge jump from the entry barrier into ICE car and an EV.

A reasonable mid level car "hyundai i20" starts at ₹ 679,900 or USD 9000.

I'd think it would be more like hooking the driveshaft of the ICE vehicle to a generator and running it under significant load.

No miles would register but you'd still be putting a lot of wear on the engine. I doubt the warranty for the ICE vehicle would cover this.

Latacora | Security Engineers | Full-time | Remote (Chicago HQ)

You could pick one startup to work for. But why choose? You can also work for a bunch of them simultaneously. We're building a security team that runs security teams for startups. We're a novel firm: we have only one kind of client (startups). We work full-time with them for anywhere between 6 months to going on 4 years now. We do everything a security team does, from software security to cryptography design to AWS and container lockdown to GSuite integrations and mobile device management strategies to product security roadmaps.

Our benefits are pretty nice. We get you the nicest healthcare plan available to us in your jurisdiction and eat the entire premium. Our 401(k) has a 100% contribution match and supports all of the extra tricks including after-tax contributions, in-service rollovers, loans... If you're qualified and interested, we'll help you take equity positions (on investor terms) in some of our clients as well.

We're hiring these roles:

* Secops people, who do cloud and network security and build security power tools. We're particularly but not exclusively interested in GCP experience here. Clojure focus, but we'll teach you.

* Product people, who build tooling and infrastructure: power tools to make all the other consultants better. Clojure focus. [0]

* Corpsec people, who protect endpoints and IT assets and put vendors through the security wringer.

[0]: We'll also teach you Clojure here and are set up to do that, but I'm currently less sanguine about our ability to appropriate support someone new to Clojure here than in Secops, which has a more closely defined remit. That'll change once we hire 1+ more senior Clojure person.

We're good at bringing new folks into the industry and we have the track record to back that statement up. If you're already in security that's great but if there's anything we've learned from this is that I'll take a skilled IC from the non-security side (e.g. devops or IT) and focus them on the security angle than taking existing security people in one field and point them at a new one (e.g. appsec -> corpsec). So, if you want to get into security...

Full-time only. Remote fine. Primarily US.

We're working on having international EORs at the ready, but it's not something we have completely down to a science yet and is a reasonably big lift (so, maybe, for the right candidate, and probably depends which country). We can't do contractors for directly client facing work like secops and corpsec. Contractors for product, especially if it's not full-time, would be a lift but happy to figure that out for the right candidate.

Haskell is a great language! (FWIW the argument in TFA also applies to Prolog: https://sforman.srht.site/source/TermsInProlog.html )

The problem I have with it is the meta-language. I tried Haskell a few weeks ago and "stack" installed over 27000 files. I feel like it's a case of "Physician heal thyself." Turn the power of Haskell back onto it's own tooling. (Python suffers from a similar problem, where distributing and installing Python code has been paradoxically un-Pythonic.)
Some languages like Elm and Gleam distribute single binaries that you just put in your PATH.
