I gather you're not in Australia and are basing this on what you've heard from others, so I'll make some corrections:

- The campaign to enforce speed limits has been going on for decades; there's no "recently" about it.

- They do update speed limits to what is deemed safe on different roads, and there is constant research and discussion about what speed levels are appropriate, along with published correlations of speed limits with fatality figures, and consideration of practices in other countries.

- I live in s state that supposedly penalises you if you exceed the limit by more than about 3kph. I've been fined a couple of times in recent years, since I moved out of the city into the suburbs. I wasn't fined for 3kph breach, more like 6. The fine is now AUD $207 for exceeding the speed limit by up to 10kph. It was annoying, sure, but I've learned to be more careful about keeping to the limit, and haven't had a fine for over 2 years. I don't stare at the speedo. Nobody does. In city roads it's usually hard to exceed the limit anyway due to traffic, and on open roads I use cruise control. It's no big deal.

Meanwhile, the fatality figures continue to decrease year on year.

The notion that traffic fines are a scam to raise government revenue doesn't hold much water. Traffic fines make up less than 1.5% of state revenue in Victoria, and it is spent on road upgrades to improve safety and traffic conditions.

Very nice! I should add a bookmarklet to the home page.
Thx for the pointer, nice to know the name of the theory. Although it only covers a part of my argument. My concern was also in regards to how much military tech could be built on short notice inside the US if it came to a prolonged war and most of the existing toys were destroyed after some months. That was what I meant with a war being nonviable (would end in a nuclear MAD scenario imo without the capacity to rebuild conventional weapons).

I think people are trained to respond to everything, even if its a quick note to say thank you. This is especially the case if its a personal sounding email from someone important. After that its just a matter of forgetting to pay attention to the address bar before hitting reply, possibly with a shortcut but more likely just going on autopilot and clicking things.
I recommend people read the article, it actually has some information. More info:

"The battery has an energy density of 24 Wh/kg, meaning approximately 20 percent capacity compared to comparable lithium-ion batteries currently available. But since the weight of the vehicles can be greatly reduced, less energy will be required to drive an electric car, for example"

"the researchers did not choose the materials to try and break records – rather, they wanted to investigate and understand the effects of material architecture and separator thickness." - this implies there may be a lot of room for improvement with this design.

> it's about email management and not having your email client do stupid things. not about using the protocols

The format / protocol do impact and limit what the client can do. In a funny way, thanks to MIME, you can technically do whatever you want with emails, but that will be a poorly organized and structured whatever. In many way, emails are like HTML : A way to present information, not to structure and/or organize it. And therefore, there is only so much the client can figure out about the email.
Thanks to Thread-id and the recipient list, you can group emails more easily and more relevantly, but that is about it.
Was that running the original Firmware, or OpenWRT? In my experience, all vendor firmwares are to be regarded just as "proof-of-electrical-functioning", to be replaced with a OpenWRT running a recent kernel. Similar to how to you reinstall/upgrade a new laptop on the second boot fresh out the box.
My take is that there is some good science and engineering being done here, so we should look past the marketing-speak. I could totally see carbon fiber cylinders of this material landing in a future bicycle, and I do see an eBike in my future.
Race conditions start it. The first 100 people get the message when it is sent, realize it is a mistake and decide they need to warn everyone, so they hit send almost exactly at the same time so none knew about the other. The next 1000 don't look for previous replies, but otherwise do the same thing. Then the next 1000 are annoyed by all the duplicate messages and it doesn't occur to them that they are making it worse.

The point is, once you've gotten used to Julia you tend to write good code most of the time without even thinking about it. And that good code still "looks good," meaning it takes advantage of Julia's expressiveness and brevity. Understandably, newcomers make many more performance mistakes.

So there's often a huge difference between "unoptimized code" (something written by an experienced developer who's deliberately taking the easy way out) and "naive code" (something a newcomer might write). There can literally be orders-of-magnitude performance difference.

I agree that there isn't as much to learn about Python. But of course that's largely because of the gap in opportunities.
I have been working on a task scheduler service for a while. I realized that there are no good task schedulers as a service which is cheap as well and can handle all kinds of scheduled jobs (cron, scheduled once, delayed jobs etc)

Mura’s HydroPRS™ process uses our Catalytic Hydrothermal Reactor (Cat-HTR™) technology to convert mixed waste plastic back to chemical feedstocks for the manufacture of new plastics.

Recycling plastic doesn't make sense, it's just the environmentalists movements way of controlling the population at greater frequency through daily routines.

But lets say it could work, you certainly don't care about recycling a greater % of plastic, there heaps more around. The only reason you might, would be to make the process simpler. So you could just dump all plastic in and not worry about contamination.

What you want is cheaper recycling <--> less energy intensive to get back to the end product.

So you'd have to analyse their Life Cycle statement to see if it's legit. There's lots of tricks they could use here.

Supercritical water sounds energy intensive, but simpler than multiple machines for different plastics.

But I have no idea if supercritical water is already common or not. The process might just be Malibu Stacy with a new hat. You'd need an expert who doesn't believe their own crap.

> In Hong Kong, the most common thing I heard was vaguely racist grumblings about mainlanders. People were unhappy with mainlanders behaving in an "uncivil" manner. There was a majority acknowledgement of China's sovereignty over Hong Kong, and a strong "Chinese" identity.

Really interested to know when did you talk to the people in Hong Kong. What you described might have been the views of some Hong Kong people 10 years ago, but it's definitely not the mainstream view nowadays.

When companies demand you change your password often that is one of the few sane ways to remember your password. (The other is an incrementing number on an otherwise unchanged password).

This is for initial login, once you are in you should be using a password manager, but until you type that initial password you can't get to the manager. (Never put work logins into your personal password manager!)
I wonder if the switch from Nickel Cadmium to Lithium Ion batteries was also hyped the same way (my google fu is failing me).

But even there, I feel like you can't just sum things up and say "LiIon are 10x better than Nickel Cadmium" there's a whole range of requirements.
You're right, but I think this depends on the browser too. I actually pass a stylesheet in the HTTP response header to make text appear white on a black background. Firefox respects this, but Chrome doesn't (at least for plain text files):

link: <https://txtify.it/dark.css>; rel="stylesheet"

Will have to test again when I get some time to see what the options are. Might be a bit of a hack as there really aren't any HTML elements to target, so it might be that Firefox applies the CSS after inserting the text into an HTML template.
Also probably depends on the vision of your retirement. If you want to retire with high five-figure (or God forbid, six figure) yearly spending, then it's not that easy. If, on the other hand, you're ok with living like a median American, you don't need that much money. I'm just about to retire in Poland at 40 by this logic, and I didn't even work all the years between college and now! (took a total of around 4-5 years in between-jobs breaks).

According to the FSF bylaws (https://static.fsf.org/nosvn/fsf-amended-bylaws-current.pdf) the voting members can already remove the board of directors of the FSF at the annual meetings (article IV section 1). Legally there is no reason why they couldn't have engaged in this coup earlier. Of course, if they needed better optics then yes.

However, only voting members can do so. Most people that think they are a "member" of the FSF are merely an "associated member" with no voting power. I don't think there is a list of voting members, but it's a small bunch (hinted at by https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/03/statement-re-election-...).

I couldn't find anything about net inprovement over "massfull" batteries.
>Your new technology claims to be superior to existing lithium-ion

To be fair, it doesn't. The article is explicit that it's only 20% as mass efficient s lithium-ion battery.

On the other hand, it's also true that the vehicle aluminium mass is mostly dead weight, so exploiting it to serve as a battery doesn't seem insane.

Except now, they need to know what to do when something hits it, breaks it, etc... So I'm not convinced this is a good idea for cars (or for anything), but at least, it goes in a direction that actually seems new instead of just doing "same but better". I could actually see that used as a support for solar panels so that they would litterally ship "batteries included".
I suspect that most of the CSV issues I've encountered were produced by ad-hoc writers and parsers embedded in applications rather than serious attempts to implement a CSV library. Behaviors I've encountered during various integrations:

- Values in most columns are escaped, but a few are not. (You have to count commas from both ends of the line and then log a warning and make a guess if there are too many commas.)

- ASCII whitespace is url-encoded (why?) but no other characters are.

- Columns without double quotes can only contain digits.

- Double commas are used as the field separator because they didn't want to implement quoting. (Some of the fields came from user input on a web page, and I prayed for them to hit a double comma and learn the error of their ways, but it never happened. I think their front end developers were sanitizing for them.)

- And my favorite, no quoting was supported at all, double quotes were left unquoted, commas were stripped from values when writing, and when reading, fields were compared against a list of mappings like "Acme Inc." -> "Acme, Inc." to restore the commas.

> Reminds me of Molly guards. I would dearly love to track down who it originated from!

The following is from https://ws.engr.illinois.edu/sitemanager/getfile.asp?id=540 , [U of I] Department of Computer Science, Alumni News, Winter 2001, Vol 2 No 7, page 14. Judy Tolliver editor. The winning google search was "illinois.edu" molly guard ibm button.

Mollyguard? - Ed Krol explains

Ed Krol explains the origins of the word Mollyguard, which dates back to 1982, like this: “I was concerned with the Cyber [mainframe], and right behind the Cyberconsole was an IBM 4341—a nondescript, singularly unimpressive, desk-sized grey machine. The only thing about it was that on one side was a big red switch—kid-sized, about 2 inches wide. The switch was like the emergency OFF switch, and if you pulled it you actually had to call an IBM engineer to come in and reset it. There was some crisis on the Cyber, and I was babysitting that day, and so I took my daughter Molly in to work with me. I said, ‘You play with your trucks on the floor while I work,’ and she saw this amazing big red thing and gave it a yank and turned it off. You weren’t supposed to do that to those big machines at the time. Our computer center director then had little plexiglas flaps installed so that you had to lift the flap up before you could pull the switch. Charley [Kline] named them Mollyguards to protect them from Molly. It was a funny play on words, too, because molybdenum is a slippery element and there used to be a grease called Molygard.”

Krol, BS 73, is now assistant director of CCSO, and Kline, BS84, MS 86, who was a student hourly at the time, is now principal research programmer at CCSO. Molly Krol is a senior at Luther College in Iowa.

It was Kline who submitted the word Mollyguard to the Jargon File, a collection of computer slang from various technical cultures begun by Raphael Finkel at Stanford in 1975. Here is how it appears on this list, mirrored on many Web sites:

molly-guard /mol’ee-gard/ n.

[University of Illinois] A shield to prevent tripping of some Big Red Switch by clumsy or ignorant hands. Originally used for the plexiglass covers improvised for the BRS on an IBM 4341 after a programmer’s toddler daughter (named Molly) frobbed it twice in one day. Later generalized to covers over stop/reset switches on disk drives and networking equipment. In hardware catalogues, you’ll see the much less interesting description “guarded button.” n

At its core, it has always called inspect.currentframe(). I suspect the first iteration was a wrapper around inspect.currentframe(), abbreviated as ic(), which was then backronym'd into ice cream.
Not only did Moderna have a decade of experience with mRNA as 'drug', but the mechanism of coronavirus infection was well-understood from SARS research, namely the importance of the spike protein. All the parts were in place and just waiting for the specific SARS-CoV-2 sequence. They designed it as soon as they had access to the Wuhan sequence.
This literally is a structural battery. Says that in the first sentence. This is about making a structural battery that’s 10x more efficient by using carbon fiber. How it compares to Tesla is obviously unknown since both are technically vaporware. The concept does sound revolutionary though so hopefully the engineering pans out.

But if this next release makes codegen improvements, those would all show up as differences. Separating the improvements from the regressions is difficult enough -- fuzzing doesn't really help here, it makes it much harder to determine what code should have been generated.

Generally, codegen issues are exposed by benchmarks or someone who is curious enough to examine and analyze the code generated from multiple compilers or multiple releases. The latter is much rarer. But as these happen, the bar keeps getting raised and we do grow the test suite.

I'm guessing there's no collisions from the original paper in this implementation?

Edit: also, are boundaries being blurred properly with wrapping enabled? It seems to create rectangular patterns(it could just be because of the initial conditions though).
Advertising is only able to exist when there's centralized entity controlling the presentation of the content. TV and radio are good examples — your receiver simply plays whatever is on air, and has no idea what's in there. Social media services like Facebook strive to control the experience end-to-end precisely because of that too, and that's the reason why public APIs for Facebook and Instagram got reduced from "enough to build a third-party client" to "you can post, getting any info for the current user requires a manual review, and you can't do anything else".

Contrast this with email and phone, the only successful federated systems. Spam is illegal in some countries, and there's a concerted effort by everyone to fight it.

When no one controls the whole experience end-to-end, there is simply no technical possibility to expose you to something against your will. This is why decentralized social media is the future. I just can't see how Facebook could survive much longer unless there's a drastic change of some sort.
