Yes, the ongoing maintenance costs associated with turbines are significant. Lots of moving parts, high temperatures, high pressures, etc. Photovoltaics, on the other hand, are very low maintenance.

There's also a nice scalability aspect to PV: if you want to expand your plant's output, it's really just a matter of adding more panels as you need them. Where as once you hit the limits of your collector/turbine/etc, you pretty much need to build a whole new plant to expand it further.

One of the world's largest solar farms is in Dubai, obviously an extremely hot region. It contains a mix of PV and thermal technologies, though it sounds like they are leaning towards more PV for future phases:

GOI's handling of relocation during the lockdowns was a negative indicator in the same way famines are indicators (https://www.nytimes.com/2003/03/01/arts/does-democracy-avert...). It was directed top-down, imposed unreasonable and dangerous burdens on people with no recourse for restitution, and overall just betrayed a total callousness and lack of concern for the difficulties faced by migrant or itinerant laborers.

It's not the ONLY cause of down-ranking India, but it is definitely another piece of evidence on the pile in addition to adoption of fairly authoritarian tactics for suppressing dissent. The corruption and patronage, sending out party goons to rough up detractors, and the corrupt and unprofessional standards in policing have always been black marks on Indian democracy. But once it expands to cutting off communication to regions, laws that are clearly intended to target religious minorities, applying those same goon-squad pressure tactics towards journalists and academics, etc. it all indicates a society that is at risk of crossing a threshold that will be difficult to come back from.
Sure, you can own that computer, but then you have to get online which requires another pile of knowledge to even hope at reducing now much you're tracked. This is not a reasonable solution.

I disagree. Expected someone with very little knowledge of the topic to make an informed choice here is highly unlikely to work. You could say the same about clothing created by child labour, but most people aren't going to spend a couple hours researching if the shirt they like is okay to buy, nor should they be expected to.

I believe the solution to this problem has to ultimately come from regulation.

Interesting. I've worked in design orgs since the iPhone came out and in my experience it's always hovered around 50/50. Maybe it's an East Coast, West Coast thing?

I will say that when it first came out the direct manipulation of the iPhone UI was a qualitatively different experience compared to any other touchscreen for a very long time. Back then most Android reviews included caveats like "stuttery", "janky", or "low resolution", and these had the cumulative effect of spoiling the illusion of direct manipulation.

Today the gap is much smaller and easier to ignore, and the iPhone has added lots of hidden affordances like swipes and double, triple, and force taps to cater to expert users at the expense of novices.
Exactly. My local supermarket in the UK has this, including handsets for people not using the mobile app. Here's a decent overview of how it all works:

Sorry to disappoint aboringusername, but this is not a ploy to starve us all into carrying surveillance devices. Still, the tinfoil hat at least looks fetching.
This whole thing just sounds like it's based in multiple bits of poor logic and improperly used principles.

- Don't take away data points to find averages you like. When you have a category like "fastest growing successful startups", I want to know how many you looked at. And no, 45 is not unreasonable. Neither is 40. We're dealing with people aged 20-80. But actually, 20 is unlikely because you also put in "successful", which takes a few years to figure out. So like 25-80, with more at the young-ish end of that spectrum.

- "Specialists do not do well as predictors of financial or political trends. Nor are they good at predicting human behavior" is a bad generalization to make on specialists. EVERYONE is bad at predicting human behavior, financial and political trends. EVERYONE. If you think you've found someone who is good at that, I think you've found someone that's good at hiding how much they suck at it. Test them, with specific claims, and usually they reveal they're just as bad as anyone else.

- "Specialists often learn from experience" - of course they do. So do generalists. Also, so do you.

- "Inspiration is everywhere", hey, on that I agree. Inspiration is indeed everywhere.

- "What can do you to thrive in such a world?" - The author recommends all sorts of things, most of which are quite silly. Reading books every day? GREAT! Read magazines that cater to different hobbyists? Less useful. Listen to music from another country? I suppose... if you want. Learning about motor cycle racing and polymers? Again, if you want. But it's implied that this is somehow beneficial to your career, which it almost never is.

I know a bunch of biology, a smattering of physics, plenty of skeptical stuff, a touch of programming, little bits about music and cultures around the world, an enormous number of trivial things. I know those things because of my history, my experiences, and my curiosity. I am no better at predicting human behavior or economic markets than the world leading chess experts. And I'm no more likely to succeed at making a startup than someone who doesn't know about ancient tea and black powder muzzle loaders.

If you want to maximize autonomy in the sense you're hinting at, I suggest looking into Liberland, a currently undeveloped piece of swampland that will no doubt be a prospering night-watchman city-state one day. It's a project that's already completely unencumbered by good ideas.

It could perhaps be offered as an emigration option to people who are opposed to paying into a system that everyone will benefit from.

For me it depends. If I have a shopping cart full, including typically, a bunch of produce, I'll go to a cashier. If I've got a half dozen bar coded items to scan, I'll probably just do self-checkout.
This may be an ignorant question, but how do we know what every part in a computer does? Yes, we can choose the OS, but do we all know what every single chip does on a motherboard? Like, EVERY chip, not the CPU or main ones, but the innocuous chips that are strewn across a motherboard. Now, I know some of you will go "yes, I know what they do", but do you inspect every motherboard you own in detail to see what they do?

What am I getting at? Well, I know it's totally paranoid, but what if some agency out there in other countries who build these things are putting things on the boards to send telemetry data back. Perhaps something small and quick now and then while the computer is online. Something that you don't even notice unless you're constantly monitoring the internet traffic in and out. And the traffic itself could be something innocuous also. Something that slips under the radar.

I know I know, I'm totally paranoid here. But does anyone here worry about that at all?

implicit val industry: IndustryType = IndustryType.Software
Most people consider themselves generalists. And it kinda makes sense, because most people, when you know more about them, are generalists.
> I can do something else while my products are checked out

But the point is we don't need the 'while my products are checked out' step. We could skip that. You save time, save more people handling what you're buying, save them having to staff a checkout and freeing them to do something else instead. That's the real win-win.

The bank id is not a physical card. Rather, it's an app that provides 2FA and which is backed by the major Swedish banks. It is the de facto standard for electronic identification in Sweden. Originally, it was mostly a desktop application that helped you log on to your internet bank, but it has increasingly become a way to log onto web sites - anything from e-commerce to government agencies - while proving your identity.
I love the quick self service checkouts and will line up for them even when a regular staffed checkout is free. I’m just the opposite and instead dislike interaction I guess.
The Google Meet three-buttons thing is so infuriating. Every time I get a family video conference going an older person will join with their camera/mic off and a "press the red circle with the camera icon in it" inevitably ends up them hanging up on the call.
In these stores, cashiers are waiting around most of the time. That's the issue. They couldn't stay in business because they had to pay for the cashier to checkout as well as wait around. By letting customers checkout, there's no more wasted money spent on employees waiting around.

Also, the stores that are most promising don't require checkout at all, so that's an entire category of human effort eliminated, for better or worse.
Human experience is anything but universal, or everyone's personalities would end up a lot more similar. Most of today's problems are rooted in people insisting that the human experience is universal. The human experience is very personal, and if you haven't experienced something, you can't truly understand it. Sure, you can study it from the outside, but if your studying causes you to invalidate the experience of others, then it is not a net gain.

You’re comparing two labor intensive efforts. This is an article about a store that has no in-store employees. What jobs does such a store have to offer as a replacement?
You should be able to, yes. Google Authenticator is pretty basic where it's simply scanning a QR code to get the TOTP token and storing that locally. It's apps like Authy which screw you over by forcing you to use them and ONLY them for 2FA for websites who opt to use it in their service. They don't make it possible (iirc) to get the token out so you can use your preferred authenticator app.

But back to your point: I used to backup to Google Authenticator and LastPass's Authenticator to prevent me from losing access when I migrated to a new iPhone since they don't backup. They both worked just fine interchangeably.
Presumably saying that India represents 14% of the world population. Recent look suggests it's 17%.
I kind of don't know where to put myself on that spectrum. While I'm dealing with a pretty narrow, specialist role - data engineering, there is extreme breadth of tools and approaches in the field. I feel that internally I'm generalist, picking up new tools and ideas with ease. Especially compared to people that mastered internals of Oracle DB for 20 years.
I never experienced that "Unexpected item in bagging area" here in Sweden, the UX failures are not universal.

Most stores I visited don't even have scales and just trust you to put in the correct items. Especially the ones where you get a handheld device to scan while you walk trough the store. I would guess that fraud levels are much lower here so the stores don't need to do that.
> Why? why cannot we just enable companies to behave mor ethically?

Please read the rest of the sentence, it answers the question.

Thank you for turning the licensing question into ad hominem.
Currently no one would think twice about a masked person entering a store, so I'm not sure about the usefulness of the cameras.

I would like to see how secure the entry points really are, because I doubt it a lock.

I think the question is whether these people are actually bigots.
People aren't indentured to work in Sweden. They don't have to work and have choice of where to work.

It's also nice, to talk to people, instead of talking down to them.
I'd say the assumption is that your square shape would sacrifice breadth for depth across their breadth. The assumption is that time is fixed and you can only learn and master a certain amount of material to a certain degree. At some point you're going to sacrifice something for the other because time is fixed. There's probably another element to consider: memory, learning rate, and rate of change of a given industry. If an industry moves fast your dabbling in that field can useless fairly quickly.
Speaking for myself, not the co: we all decide who we want to trust and why, whether it’s browser extension, or a browser, or a phone.

For me, it comes down to alignment and value. Amazon stands to lose a lot if they decided to suddenly stop caring about customers, or not take security seriously. And the Internet gets pretty small if your threat model requires zero trust.
Have you considered reflecting on your driving behavior? I'm personally rarely (i honestly don't remember when I've had to do this, but let's say less than once a year) had to accelerate quickly to get out of a tight spot.
I think they’re saying India represents 14% of the world population. That means that the delisting of India is most of the “20%” mentioned in the headline.
GCC is a great C compiler and most of us are happy to keep it that way. The constant drumbeat of 'different different different' is not something I'm interested in.

Mmm, I think it’s ok to disagree with experts. Yes, even for dirty laypeople.
Political parties, unending terms, and lack of accountability on electeds' wages/benefits/post-office work have all hurt the US in my opinion.
Analogously, I don't see a reason why I should be forced wait in a queue for one of the limited other humans to help me do something that I can do myself in one of the 8 self-checkout lanes whenever I'm ready to do so.

People who want the assistance of an employee can go that route, but I prefer the self-checkout process for the reduced waiting and self-service nature.
That there is more than one facet even something as simple as a shop? Kinda like chatting with a Cab Driver.
One implicit benefit of the self-service checkouts is that there's often one line for multiple machines. Any student of queuing theory will know how much this reduces waiting time compared to the one queue per cashier that's otherwise common.
Advocates of much higher minimum wages should understand that the eventual consequence will be automating many jobs out of existence, not just people doing the same jobs but for more pay.

It's not even close to the only incompatibility. :-) That's a nominal one. If that were really the only thing, then sure, I would provide a way to make ripgrep work in a POSIX compatible manner.

There are lots of incompatibilities. The regex engine itself is probably one of the hardest to fix. The incompatibilities range from surface level syntactic differences all the way down to how match regions themselves are determined, or even the feature sets themselves (BREs for example allow the use of backreferences).

Then of course there's locale support. ripgrep takes a more "modern" approach: it ignores locale support and instead just provides what level 1 of UTS#18 specifies. (Unicode aware case insensitive matches, Unicode aware character classes, lots of Unicode properties available via \p{..}, and so on.)
In Freedom House's report on India[1] you can read about how they arrived at "partly free" for India. While the COVID lockdowns and their effect on marginalized groups where highlighted as events of 2020, if you look at the particular categories outlined below, you'll see that a lot more is going on that it warrants the rating of "partly free" in their opinion.

If a Rust rewrite of Coreutils is not backward compatible, it is not a replacement and the current GNU Coreutils would still be needed for backward compatibility.

There is a long history of newer, better tools supporting backward compatibility to be a replacement for their predecessors:

- bash and zsh support backward compatibility to be replacements for sh.

- vim has compatibility mode to be a replacement for vi.

If the Rust implementation is not backward compatible, it should not be called "Coreutils".

More efficient for the company, perhaps (though self checkouts are typically still manned, though at a reduced rate). But much less efficient for the customers.

Who do you optimize for? IMO, ideally not the company.
Not particularly, if that just means you're beholden to those companies instead.

My issue is not that you need to be using Android in general for example (base Android is FOSS, so the user can in principle have full control over their device), but that often for these things you need to be using Android with Google services, with all the tracking and such that entails.
