The entire article reads like a classic PG "submarine article" from anti-pipeline activists, who use lawsuits, protests, and sabotage[1] to thwart the construction of new pipelines (even to replace old ones, like in the article) and upgrades or even necessary repairs to existing pipelines.

It also hypocritically criticizes companies for considering abandoning aging pipelines, which these same activists fight to prevent them from upgrading or replacing.

Clearly the goal is to make fossil fuels so expensive, to speed up adoption of renewables. But do these people not realize that these chemicals have other uses (e.g., plastics, rubbing alcohol), and that they need to be transported regardless, and pipelines are much safer (and cheaper) than rail or road transport?

A BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO SOLAR
This story hopefully help understand everything about solar power . including how to go full solar power and what lies in the future for them
Sun powered boards are gadgets that produce power from daylight. Individuals likewise call them sunlight based modules. The power delivered by them is known as sun oriented force or sunlight based energy.
What are sun based boards?
What is a sunlight based cluster?
A sun oriented exhibit is the point at which various sun powered boards are associated together.

What is a sunlight based panel framework?
A sun based board framework is a sunlight based exhibit and is joined with other hardware needed to both produce sun based force and convert it into usable power. On account of a sun based board framework for home the sun powered modules would ordinarily be joined with a matrix tied inverter.
What's the significance here?
It alludes to the 'photovoltaic impact,' which is the specialized term for how sun powered boards convert daylight into electrical flow. So a photovoltaic (PV) board basically implies a sun based board. Similarly, 'photovoltaic energy' is only an extravagant term for sun based force.
How do sunlight based boards work?
A sun oriented board unit is contained sun https://f4cd6mlbzkqkqq8cx75kv1enc7.hop.clickbank.net/

As I said, they can, but you have to allow them to. We had a child series here in Europe portraying racism and fascism, and we were able to understand what happened in it. And we are regular people.
I don’t really get your point. What happens when a judge says “you don’t own your house any more, the government owns it now”? Well, what happens is you lose your house. The fact that the government can circumvent any notion of property ownership isn’t really a criticism of any particular notion of property ownership.
There's two types of translations that occur in Mito, writing spreadsheet formulas, and then everything else (merging, pivoting, etc.)

For the spreadsheet formula part, we parse the formula in the Jupyter Python kernel and convert it to Pandas code. We actually found a bit of a trick to make this easier. TLDR: We defined Python functions that have the same name as the spreadsheet formulas, it helps us avoid building writing a formal language grammar + syntax tree. If you're interested in reading about it a bit more, we actually have a short blog post that you can checkout: https://trymito.io/blog/transpiler

The second type of translation (merging, pivoting, etc) sends a message to the backend with the parameters configured from the point and click tool. And then executes the equivalent Pandas code in the Python kernel and writes the code to the Jupyter Cell.
Right, when put that way it does not make sense (even if the original owner had to put time and effort into it) - but the original owner got to keep a fat chunk of equity + monthly payments so it's somewhat of a fair deal.
Parent was downvoted, but it happens. People think a site with only public content should be served over HTTP, what's the harm. Here's my anecdote:

A site I developed was being critiqued by a fellow director. They looked at the HTML and didn't like the poorly written advertising and analytics Javascript near the start of it.

But wait! What advertising and analytics? I didn't add that sort of junk.

It took us a few rounds of me defending my design decisions and not understanding what their problem with it was, and them becoming suspicious of me, before we figured out they were looking at Javascript inserted by their ISP in real-time into the site's HTML. Not something I wrote. We were viewing different HTML because of that.

That was 6 years ago. One more reason to switch to HTTPS, even for public, static content.

Not so sure since as others have pointed out, the non-profit would have to repay the loan. Plus a lot of non-profits' "business models" aren't tailored around repaying donations.

Think of some of the performing arts, dance and music programs in some of the largest cities that are structured as non-profits and charge $20 in ticket fees. If they lost their donors, they would have to charge $100 to $200 in ticket fees just to break even.

And that would happen if they got zero-interest loans as well, since they would be on the hook for paying back the loans and have to cover those.

The thing that fascinates me the most about this is that the isolated system remained viable over such a huge length of time. Every organism was molded by evolution to the conditions there. If it hadn't been discovered, it might have lasted for millions more years.

That stability is miraculous.

I love the ideas of the long now foundation, but I'm not sure 10,000 year thinking is enough.

How would our society need to evolve, for humanity to still be here in a million years?
Schools like Harvard and Stanford give away free tuition to students whose families make less than 120,000. This is directly from their endowments.
Perhaps somewhat convoluted, but the core of this is so true.
The best explanation I've ever seen for design patterns is that they are workarounds for weaknesses of the programming language. Usually Java and its contemporaries.

http://journal.stuffwithstuff.com/2010/09/18/futureproofing-...

Factories, for example. They're essentially just constructors. So why not use the new keyword? Turns out new has limitations:

- Dependency on the constructed type at the ABI level
- Cannot return subtypes of the constructed type
- Special keyword, not orthogonal with the rest of the language

Singletons, for example. They're essentially classes with static methods and state. Why not use these language features instead of coming up with incredibly convoluted ways to ensure only a single instance of an object has been created? Turns out classes have limitations:

- Classes aren't objects
- Classes cannot be passed as parameters
- Classes cannot implement interfaces

The need for all of these patterns simply disappears in a better designed language. In Ruby for example everyone uses factory methods without even realizing it and classes are fully featured objects that can be used in any context.
My guess is, a few hundred users are enough to identify and correct most of what's missing in the language. Going from there to a million users is unlikely to make a big difference. Especially if the language's features are orthogonal (apparently they are), and the scope of the language is clear (the intended use case at least seems to be).

We'll see how it goes. I won't bet my hat on it, but Zig does seem to be on a good path to stay simple even as it matures.

I never had a 'Speccy'.

Some old friends of mine wrote a song ages ago about the effect those machines had on us all, called "Hey Hey 16k" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ts96J7HhO28
I think this intentionality comes from the person more than the tool; like, as obvious as it is to you that chat causes people to dump a stream of consciousness while audio forces people to be "intentional" and think about what they are saying, it is frankly just as obvious to me that when people are speaking they tend to "ramble" as they attempt to somehow construct a thought on the fly (and often end up repeating things they have already said) whereas with text people construct and edit well-organized and considered statements.

"Confusion hath made his masterpiece"

I was working at Apple in 1993. My parents called me one day and said that they wanted to buy another Mac, and were wondering which model was best for them. I'd been heads down on Newton for a couple of years and hadn't paid much attention to what was going on in the Mac line. So I found a catalog and started going through it, expecting to give them an answer right on the phone.

Man, I couldn't figure it out. There seemed to be about 40 different models of Macintosh, some clearly high end and others clearly low end, but nothing else that really stood out as very much different from the rest. The names were not very helpful (is a Quadra better than a Performa? What about the LC? Gahhh).

I would up giving them my Mac IIci (probably the best 68K-based Mac ever made) and I bought a PC.

All of these are huge. People get misled by far simpler products (like loans) all the time, let alone something like this.

This is a "hidden anti-nuclear agenda" article. I see these types of article used to decry my nation often, so I identify them easily.

There is absolutely nothing newsworthy here. But it keeps the Fukushima incident fresh in people's memory. It also shows "the hidden victims", i.e. the cute cats. Then the human victim, detained by the big bad government for helping free wild animals. All bad, bad, bad... This piece is designed to associate the word Fukishuma, already associated with the nuclear industry, with bad things.

Currently, Mito only works in Juptyer Lab version 2.0. We don't work in either Jupyter Notebooks, Jupyter Lab 3.0, or Google Collab. However, we'd love to expand to those in the future.

Since we only support Jupyter right now, about half of the early Mito users are using it locally and the other half are using it on a hosted version of Jupyter Lab, which just makes it really easy to get setup without worrying about Python installations.
Building a system which works for 99% of the population, 99% of the times they want to use it, sure.

> If first sale doctrine is ever fixed, your friend could sell you their copy that way.

Yes, but NFTs claim to get similar effects without changing the law.

> I don't know why all your examples involve third parties stamping sweet nothings onto a piece of paper.

The third party is the blockchain. Because the blockchain can't enforce that you actually hand over real ownership rights to correspond with the NFT ownership.

> An NFT needs to have some kind of rights in the contract or it's a scam. Notably you at least need exclusivity!

If I own a piece of paper my country's legal system will accept as meaning I own something, why would I also want a piece of virtual paper that a bunch of people on the internet will accept as meaning I own some sort of rights to something.

> But that doesn't make it "redundant". It's a way of making a contract, not a replacement for contracts.

What NFT can I use to make a contract that any real legal system will accept?
> EE shows that EUT only gives correct results when U = log (Wealth)

You seem to think that this invalidates EUT.

On the contrary, it's a vindication of EUT.

In that particular case, EUT works and the preferences of the agent would be correctly described by that particular utility function. Otherwise you wouldn't say that EE and U=log(w) give "correct results".

It can also happen in other cases that EE cannot be used to explain the preferences of the agent while EUT is still applicable because a utility function (maybe logarithmic, maybe not) can be found which describes them adequately.

I don't think you understand my point. Programming techniques and giving names to these techniques is not pointless. What is pointless is pretentiously inflating these techniques and placing them into a pseudo academic field and calling it "design patterns."

>The value is in recognising similar structures, communicating them, reusing solutions to already thought through problems etc.

The English language already reuses concepts. You drive cars. You do not call it the "car driving pattern" and make is part of the concept of "design patterns" This is the pointlessness I am referring to.

>Anti-patterns are very useful concept as well.

Yeah in common English you call it "Bad techniques" or "ineffective methods". Everyone is already 100% aware of the concept of a technique that isn't "good" you don't need to teach people this concept. My argument here is that the name "anti-pattern" is pure snobbery. It's like calling standing still "anti-movement."

No new concept was introduced by the word "anti-pattern." Anti-pattern refers to a very simple concept that every single human understands. The pretentiousness is in the word and inflates the perception of this concept to the point where someone like you thinks "anti-pattern" is a completely new mind blowing concept (It's not).

Good question. I'm not sure exactly how the successor is chosen, but this section from Wikipedia indicates just the one member is replaced:

> Until 1999, the Constitution mandated that no canton could have more than one representative on the Federal Council. Until 1987, the place of origin was used to determine which canton a Federal Councilor was from. After 1987, the place of residence (or, for councilors who were previously members of the Federal Assembly or of a Canton's legislative or executive body, the canton from which they were elected) became the determinant factor. Nothing prevented candidates from moving to politically expedient cantons, though, and the rule was abandoned in 1999. Since then, the Constitution has mandated an equitable distribution of seats among the cantons and language regions of the country, without setting concrete quotas. Whenever a member resigns, he/she is generally replaced by someone who is not only from the same party, but also the same language region. In 2006, however, Joseph Deiss, a French Swiss, resigned and was succeeded by Doris Leuthard, a German-speaking Swiss, and in 2016, Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf, German-speaking, was succeeded by Guy Parmelin, a French Swiss.

Stay-at-home policy is a case of exception fallacy
"With our results, we were not able to explain if COVID-19 mortality is reduced by staying at home in ~ 98% of the comparisons after epidemiological weeks 9 to 34."

"The low number of significant associations between regions for mortality rate and the percentage of staying at home may be a case of exception fallacy, which is a generalization of individual characteristics applied at the group-level characteristics"

"In conclusion, using this methodology and current data, in ~ 98% of the comparisons using 87 different regions of the world we found no evidence that the number of deaths/million is reduced by staying at home. Regional differences in treatment methods and the natural course of the virus may also be major factors in this pandemic, and further studies are necessary to better understand it."
"writing responses to RFPs in a successful way" really means "successfully identifying decision-makers at top levels and brib-- 'charm' them into compliance", often even "dictating how RFPs should be written so that they will be the only ones who know exactly how to reply to them in the only acceptable way".
