You are right, but very large stars have very short lifetimes, on the order of 10M years. So there would be areas of high concentrations of things further up the periodic table even in the first billion years. Keep in mind that while earth is rich in things like iron and other elements higher up the periodic table, that's far from the average for the solar system.

I think the colonization problem is mainly a human perspective, we can't get their in our lifetimes so it's impossible.

So it seems realistic to send a small probe to Proxima Centauri at 5-10% of the speed of light to get sensors much closer. We'd learn quite a bit getting even today's sensors 1M times closer as it zips by. Communication might be tricky, but say a 100 watt laser can beam to a decent portable telescope on a precise frequency even 0.01 light years apart. Just sent a new relay probe every year or so.

So in 50-100 years we'd know much more about the planetary system. Number of planets, size, orbits, chemical composition, asteroid belts, even some idea of weather, clouds, magnetic fields, and some idea of the likelihood of life, and the potential for hosting life. Google earth would get it's first planet outside the solar system ;-).

With that knowledge, and presumable some technology improvements we could send a large probe, even if it's slower say 0.5% of speed of light. While propulsion technology will likely improve (things like light sails, fission, fusion, antimatter, etc) maybe there's other ways to slow down, gas clouds, magnetic fields, chained gravitational assists, magnetic ram scoops, etc. Maybe it could allow for a few 100 kg in orbit around the most promising planet. Potentially autonomous manufacturing could turn some asteroids into mirrors, we could be used to help brake future probes. Said few 100 kg would also include improved sensors to tell us much more about the planets, increase our understanding of the presence of life, and the potential.

Some 100s of years into the future it seems likely that bio-engineered bacteria, fungus, molds, and similar could be used to seed life, make the atmosphere friendlier, and extract useful minerals/fuels. Future deliveries would leverage braking/fuel/materials at the far side to get more mass there more easily. Instead of building mirrors (relatively easy) they start building solar cells. Mining kicks increases in scale, etc. Extracting methane, oxygen, and aluminum would be a good start.

Bootstrapping the ecosystem (assuming there isn't one) starts with bacteria, mold, fungus, and similar on land and in the oceans.

At some point the mirrors, communications, and energy available starts being an appreciable fraction of earth and non-trivial size ships can get up to 5-10% of light on this end, and decelerate down to zero on the far side and sending humans (or at least human DNA) starts becoming feasible.

Say 1000 years from now, intelligence (human, semi-human, or artifical) on the far end starts communicating with earth at the speed of light. Does make one wonder what bandwidth you can get over 5 light years with say a small moon of mass to capture and redirect energy.
Could you help me understand two fundamental issues? (1) Why would I use Mojeek over Google and (2) how do you make money?

Key constraint: you cannot answer "because privacy" for #1, unless you can explain what that means.

Fundamentally, I don't understand why privacy matters.

Google finds stuff that I want , when I want it. How it does it doesn't concern me, as long as it can. It seems (based on using say Duck vs Google) that Google wins by a landslide in quality of search results.

Can you deliver better results with less tracking, and how would I know those are in fact better results?

And of course, if I am to trust all my search to you tool, how do I know you'd be around in 10 years?

Thanks!

Colors appear different depending on what color they are next to so its not a great way to pick colors.
Please please please do this. I have plenty of issues with their prioritisation but at the end of the day, Bitwarden is extremely cheap, and is a great product. There is little to no reason to not pay that $10 a year.
With the democratization of capital through tech companies like Pipe and Stripe Capital, it's exciting to see enabling technologies like Finley's that will benefit the entire corporate lending ecosystem, including incumbents and new entrants.

Having worked with credit agreements before, they are several hundred pages long, so it's difficult for a human to read and extract information from a single credit agreement, let alone multiple. Companies can have multiple loans, each with their own credit agreement. On the other hand, lenders have to manage credit agreements across their entire portfolio.
Some of Adobe's other products have superior competition, but Photoshop is the flagship and despite its stable of bugs I don't think there's anything better. If you have alternatives to suggest I'm interested (I really hate Adobe). Ones I'm aware of:

Affinity Photo. Much more stable than Photoshop and I like it a lot, but there are things Photoshop does that Affinity doesn't and I can't think of anything that goes the other way.

Krita. Fairly sleek, especially for OSS. Becoming very competitive for digital illustration, but not (and not intended to be) a great photo editor.

paint.net. Good for fast edits but simplified, not a true competitor.

GIMP. Ancient, slow, ugly, clunky, severely lacking in features, and somehow even less stable than Photoshop.

"Far-right" as opposed to just "right" or "conservative" makes it sound like they're more than a standard deviation more right-leaning than the typical conservative. It makes the action of moving to open source sound like it's being done by extremists as opposed to conservatives in general
Thank you for sharing this video. I think it really gets at the heart of something a lot of people don't want to hear or are ignorant on. As you say, it's hard enough being actually skilled and deserving so imagine being neither of those and trying to make it.
I have never met any SaaS where it wasn't cumbersome to figure out the competitors, the differences and the pricing.

I think the greatest area that a small company could use help in is learning which tools are out there i.e. answering this very question. For instance, one firm I know had no idea how useful bill.com was and it saved them 10s of manhours per week but began using it years after it was offered.

The other area is workflow: you use software X and software Y in this way, but did you know most other companies link them up with software Z in the middle and it works much better, so long as you check the box that reminds you to tag the invoices (or whatever).
Guessing I think is too strong of a way to phrase what super resolution does. The broader concept of, for example, regularized solving of inverse problems is used widely in things like CT and MRI where the reconstructed imagery is used for analysis. The regularization is effectively the part you’re saying is guessing, but I would phrase it as enforcing assumptions about the data. Neural network-based approaches are similarly learning the distribution of the output data.
I don't understand your logic.

> unexpected increase in the clock frequency of single core CPUs

The 90s were brutal for alternative architectures like the Transputer because performance of Intel processors were significantly improving just about yearly. I recall a neural net chip startup company near where I live - they did some cool science Saturday presentations for the public where they explained how neural nets worked (this was the early 90s). But unfortunately, they only lasted a few years - they were only about 25 years ahead of their time. Now here we are in the 2020s and alternative architectures are sprouting like dandelions.

Yes, Peru used to export pottery with a distinct brown colour. Prior to cheap air travel travelling to Peru was rare but the pottery was common. So "Peru pottery brown" was just called "Peru" when talking about colours.
I've had them in our place in the UK for a few years. A bit weird for the first few months, but soon got used to them.

Read up on the philosophy of "pets vs. cattle". Kubernetes is meant to totally abstract the hardware and operating system. For a use case of one app on one machine it's not really doing anything.

But what if I told you that you needed to run that docker container on 5,000 machines with 2,500 load balancers in regions across the world? Are you going to SSH into thousands of boxes manually and run docker commands? Are you going to try setting up some monster ansible inventory to do the same? In practice the best minds in distributed computing have found those kind of practices break down at large scale--you just cannot reason or deal with individual machines when there are thousands of them.

This is where kubernetes comes in--it's an abstraction that lets you declare "here's the state I want, X machines running Y containers, all linked through Z services" and kubernetes will make it happen, period. It will take care of contacting thousands of machines, controlling the running containers, ensuring they stay running, handling failures, monitoring, load balancing, etc. You no longer think about problems in terms of low-level machines and instances, you think about the higher level objective like deploying code.

The beautiful thing is that it scales down nicely. A simple 50 line YAML file that declares running your docker container and load-balancing it with a service can easily deploy just to your local machine, or be scaled up to run on 5,000 machines by just changing a variable in the deployment scale. The same simple one-liner kubectl command kicks of either deployment and helps you monitor its progress. If you've ever worked in distributed systems it is really incredible to see this in action at scale.
Yeah. The boundaries of the GPL are mostly clear because they're essentially tied to Unix linking behavior. There are some edge case--I know people who don't think you shouldn't be able to load binary blobs for example--but mostly. There doesn't seem to be the same sort of clear consensus over how broadly the AGPL interacts with other code on the network.
I read that as illustrating that the FBI doesn't understand the value of the protection afforded by this technology because they are an organization that is by definition part of the power structure so they can't fathom not being able to solve their problems with bullets and jackboots and then have the courts take their side whereas the groups on the receiving end of the jackboots and bullets do understand the value.

I agree that the journalist isn't really "getting it" but I didn't see any issue with the selection of quotes.
Big fan of rsync.net but the firewall comment caught me a bit off-guard. The benefit of a firewall is that it's an isolated system which - apart from port blocking - guarantees a certain level of traffic logging and known-good state.

If you have everything on one host I'd say your overall setup on that host becomes much more complex because you only need to get hit by one successful exploit chain and all logs on that host cannot be trusted any more.

Yeah... It's like software hipsterism, whatever is weird/hard is "cool," but the moment it become mainstream suddenly a new technology/language needs to made instead. 2 years from now everybody and their grandma will understand kubernetes or have a simple gui for it, and the hipsters will move on to something new and exclusive.

You know what I don't get about website live chat buttons like Intercom? The fact that you need to stay on the website to continue the conversation. Why not just provide a link to open a conversation in existing channels, like email, Twitter, Telegram, WhatsApp, etc.? That way the customer can choose whichever channel they already have or prefer, and the conversation continues seamlessly after they've left your website.

Yes, I know Intercom offers the option to seamlessly switch to email, but at that point you could just build a simple 1990's email contact form in a fancy JS popup and it's effectively the same thing.

I understand Intercom made a billion dollar company out of their chat widget because businesses want to look savvy, but that doesn't mean it's actually a good experience for users. As a startup founder myself, I care more about a seamless experience for my customers than for me.

For a superb and rigorous account of the ontological basis of consciousness, and why it might be superior to panpsychism while being more in line with scientific evidence, check "The idea of the world" by Bernardo Kastrup (or any of his work/youtube interview). Really compelling case.

Even in taxpayer-funded education systems, the majority of people will not earn a degree. Part of that is because many people enter the workforce straight out of high school. If you work 8-hour shifts at a McDonalds or at a factory, when are you supposed to go to class?

That's why this type of program is needed. Google is not claiming that this is supposed to replace university. It is only business-news-lite websites like Inc and Fast Company that need to sensationalize every headline.

Sure, but comparing to python is disingenuous. Python3 was a complete break from Python2. The first version of .net core (5ish? years ago) broke the standard library down to only libs that work cross platform.

At what point does that become criminal negligence?
Energy is extremely difficult and expensive to store, it's not fungible over a time period. This is why energy rates fluctuate during the day. It's also not fungible between consumers not connected to the same grid.

When generating energy (either with fossil fuels or renewables) energy is often wasted because there is no immediate consumer or way to store it.

What you say _can_ be true, for example additional consumers of energy on the national grid, during times of high demand, will likely result in more energy production. It is not true as a rule though.

Funny enough, it happens with human drivers too. Perhaps the fix is to block the entire lane instead of partially blocking it. At least the Tesla will stop for such a scenario, where a human still might not. Can't be that expensive to roll an additional rescue vehicle to sit in the lane with their lights on (I see it quite often in Florida, unsure about other states).

> According to recent data taken from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, approximately 12 percent of all interstate highway deaths result from shoulder accidents.

It's unfortunately fairly difficult to find stats on accidents scoped solely to vehicles rear ending emergency vehicles partially obstructing a travel lane. The stat I present is a proxy.
I like to get that kind of use out of my machines though I upgrade workstation on a more regular basis (though the last one went a full 7 years with nothing new but a RAM upgrade and an SSD midlife) - You come to identify with the hardware after a while, it takes on a life of it's own.

Since I'm (excluding Win10 for gaming when I rarely have time) exclusively a Linux user I get to use the old hardware for other purposes at the end until it finally becomes either useless or lets out the magic smoke (as my 2004 R50e Thinkpad finally did - man I miss those keyboards, so much better than the T470P (which itself is excellent)).

It paid of just recently, I had 2012 Vostro 3750 kicking around and when schools went into lockdown with a quick wipe and Fedora install it made a perfectly serviceable machine for my step-son to do his remote learning on - there was an irony in running MS Teams on Linux on a machine that wouldn't have been able to run current generation Windows 10 and Teams anywhere near as comfortably.
It's not trivial, but it's certainly possible. <Un-named IC customer> has been doing level 1 image formation processing for decades using shared memory across a network. They're even doing it in Kubernetes now utilizing libraries from Sandia National Laboratories that use a volume mount of an in-memory filesystem to running containers so you can scale your compute cluster up and down as your memory load varies. This basic setup is powering the entire US geointelligence enterprise. They call it the Tumbo Framework. There's a press release alluding to it here: https://www.sandia.gov/news/publications/labnews/articles/20...

> which cause much worse glare than previous yellower ones

The color has almost nothing to do with that. Newer headlights are much brighter, and mostly use projectors now. The increase in glare is mostly due to the projectors, because they emit all their light from small point. You'll notice that newer cars with halogen projectors are almost as bad as one with HIDs.

It would be interesting to see how a headlight would look if it were able to emit the same amount of light on the road but from a rectangle spanning the entire front of the car. Minimum glare, still effective.
Definitely could be part of R&D for novel holographic optical elements for VR and AR headsets, and even solar cells and how they more efficiently use light to create electricity.
If I'm understanding this correctly, you're conflating two different phone calls.

> The Washington Post recently had to issue a high-profile correction to January reporting about one of two known calls in which Donald Trump urged Georgia officials to find evidence to overturn the state’s election results.

> The newspaper initially said Trump told an elections investigator she should “find the fraud” and that she would be a “national hero” if she did so. But a newly surfaced recording of the call shows he didn’t use those words. Instead, he told her to uncover the “dishonesty” and that “when the right answer comes out, you’ll be praised.”

> The Post did not retract its story, as some people on social media claimed. The correction did not involve its Jan. 3 reporting about what Trump told Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger during another phone call. The Post published the full audio and transcript of that call.

Anyways, this never rose to the level of the sort of Fake News being pushed by the right-wing grift-o-sphere, and to pretend it's in the same league is ignorant at best. We're literally talking about issuing a retraction, something none of these conservative grifting outlets are known to do when they are routinely shown to be pushing misinformation.
