Using microwaves to transmit power to receiving rectennas has already hit 70% efficiency. Exceeding that is very feasible.

Once there is full industrial infrastructure on the Moon and in Earth orbit, building microwave antennas and ground receiving rectennas is going to scale a lot better than building more and more 10,000 km lines. For a community in the middle of nowhere building a rectenna will be relatively inexpensive, but the benefit will be like getting their own fusion plant!
- Battery tech can be very advanced. Tesla's manufacturing techniques are far from trivial.

- The most advanced chip fab (TSMC) is Taiwanese (i.e. Asian).
I don't see the benefit to being neutral if the Right is going to demonize it anyways.
Exactly. I have been saying Apple is now walking on the same path as Google once did. Their "Do No Evil" line.

Had Apple never claimed moral high ground, they would then have the benefit of doubt. And increasingly there are more and more evidence their words and actions differs.
Too much stuff going on in VSCode? I like VSCode for the very reason that the interface offers comparable functionality to IDEs while not flooding you with tiny buttons and tabs on each side of the screen...

Well I have no plans to print counterfeit cash or tickets, commit treason, or raid an FBI field office so I think I'm good.
This seems deceptive more than anything else. If a content creator doesn't want their videos to be rated they can disable like/dislike ratings entirely. But to remove public dislikes across the entire site takes away a valuable indicator of video quality. Like/Dislike ratio can also express approval and disapproval for the subject itself, which is also valuable.
The syntax isn't for everyone and the tooling has some issues.
This was my experience too, with a useful online page I built. People loved it but wouldn’t donate to help it.

Someone suggested I productise it but I thought, based on the donations, that it wouldn’t have many purchasers. But they were right: it earned orders of magnitude more when some features required a one time payment to be unlocked, versus donation.

They pivoted to building their device for commercial use and had a bunch of military personnel images on their site before.

I would add an excellent introduction by Scott Wlaschin on YouTube called "Building confidence in concurrent code using a model checker."[0]

Lamport's Specifying Systems (2002, linked above) is a great book. It covers ground quickly but has deep roots - you can tell Lamport is an expert logician who engineered the language carefully. I recommend you read the first two chapters of that (free) book before you do anything else, but you may feel like you're wading through mud if you don't start writing simple specs and watch his or other tutorials by chapter 5. Most of his example specifications (Chapter 5, Chapter 11) design a memory interface for a computer, and they suppose you are familiar with basic computer architecture. If not, you'll have to learn TLA+ while learning how a memory interface works at the same time, which takes dedication.

The appeal to me of TLA+ is using set theory and first-order predicate logic to describe any system, from a poker game to a shopping trip to a computer program - anything at all where the next state depends on the history of the system after a set of initial states. The TLA+ Toolbox IDE has a TLA+ model checker called TLC that can test your logic, and that is particularly useful for a complex concurrent or distributed system if you ever design one.

Lisp totally works for scientific/statistical computing! Julia, for example, is commonly called a Lisp. And S/R/&c. are also very lispy. As is APL, to a lesser extent.
Maybe, maybe not. I'm not sure if it's just a matter of scale or of the fundamental nature of the thing. It might be that the computer / neural network metaphor, whilst isomorphic to certain brain procesees, may ultimately not tell us very much about the larger system and what it actually is.

I tend to think that because computers are the current peak of civilisation / engineering, and in some ways, "alive", we think we might be like a computer. In the Victorian machine age they talked of humans as machines. Maybe some, hitherto unthinkable invention is around the corner, and we will say humans / brains are like that too.

In EVE Online, the only permitted flow is as follows: you buy subscription time for real money from CCP Games. Others can then buy subscription time from you for in-game currency. In-game currency can only be spent in-game.

It doesn't really seem very similar to cryptocurrency to me; could you explain some more about how you think it's the same?
We don't know how much information was required for the Cambrian explosion because we don't have DNA sequence information from that era. We can only guess based on the DNA sequence information of today or from recent (in geological terms) fossils frozen in ice cores, etc. All the DNA sequence info we have is actually extremely recent.

It's possible that the very long "boring" period before the Cambrian explosion was in reality when a whole lot of stuff was being evolved that later all came together to allow large scale cellular cooperation.

An analogy I like is a barn raising. If you watched a barn raising from very far away it would appear that nothing is happening and then boom, you get a barn. In reality the structure is being assembled slowly on the ground for a long time before anything "macro" happens. This analogy also comes up in regard to macroevolution and perhaps even abiogenesis.

BTW it's important to remember that modern evolutionary theory does not include a theory of abiogenesis. Life is assumed to exist and evolutionary theory deals with how it changes over time. The origin of life is a separate (albeit related) scientific question and one for which we do not currently have an established answer. There are many credible hypotheses but so far no way to really test them.
I personally really like using speedcrunch[1] as a desktop calculator, and it’s cross platform. It’s not doing pretty print though.

Otherwise it’s wolfram alpha[2], but that needs internet.

I never type calculations in any search engines, but that’s way too slow compared to speedcrunch.

Maybe I feel similarly to chalk using a web view compared to how electron apps are seen by some.

Displaying inaccuracies is neat! As well as the graphing parts!

Sodium ion batteries[1] are another promising one for stationary batteries that pop up from time to time. Sodium is obviously abundant and cheap, and has similar properties to lithium. For grid storage, it’s heavier weight and less energy density isn’t a big issue. However like many alternative battery solutions it it’s the there yet for whatever reason.

Bruv. I have a samsung. I'm touched.

We've been together 4 years, its USB port is a little loose now. Too much charging everyday, but the screen is still pristine. The camera is fine so we can go out and take photos at the beach. I'm happy man. It does what it said it would do and did it. And still doing it.
It's quickly getting to the point where being exposed to youtube at all just opens you up to a ton of intentional manipulation from an organization who's entire product is manipulating people for pay.

It's probably best to completely avoid all of it.
> now firefox with container extensions, [...] are all easily approachable for the average person

I think you might be in a bubble of you think the average person is using container extensions. There aren't even that many average people using Firefox anymore, least of all any extensions beyond adblockers (which still only reach at most 20% in general, including the all round more average Chrome users)

<off-topic-rant>
Add to that there aren't even any container extensions that work well: the official Mozilla one doesn't support management of domain lists, and the best alternative (Containerise) is still limited and poorly supported (has outstanding bugs with things as simple as the www prefix). As for the individual site-specific options, the Google one is an all or nothing affair; there is no way to separate your traffic within Google's ecosystem, nor outside it: there's effectively two "zones", similar up Private Mode.

I wouldn't recommend containers to an average user in their current state
Inflation has been encouraging investment in oil and gas companies. Just look at the stock market returns by sector since Jan 2021 and see which one stands out! >.>

Investors like oil & gas because has a low enough Price to EPS ratio to feel like an undervalued safe haven and it still pays dividends like nothing else.

Don’t forget: every $100 invested in bitcoin is $100 of bitcoin sold. There is always somebody on the sell-side. When they receive the money, they may also do productive (likely technology-based) work with it.
I managed to get my team to use `lodash.isNil` because we had gotten bitten by this crap too many times. And `lodash.isEmpty` for strings/arrays/etc.

Testing is real coding! It's just not glamorous, but testing is one thing that every developer should do although many don't. Maybe you could carefully refactor scary parts of the code base after writing lots of tests for it. Like others have said, make a case for the refactor to your direct report. Good luck!
Not only this diference per se, but the XX XY difference is a simple way to show that there is, in fact, a thing called "female DNA". The preference for dolls by girls is just evolutionary behavior, females are the ones that bare the responsibility for raising the offspring, in 99.9% of animal species, so it is just logical that the female cubs of humans and chimpanzees would "practice" raising babies. If you can't see this self evident truth, only ideology can explain it.
He still has a mind we can relate to, like a child can relate to their parent. If you cared to look into Aquinas’ idea of God you’d find many concrete ideas, but he’s describing the spiritual realm so obviously it’s not as concrete as describing a human person... that’s the whole point.

What’s very concrete is what God has revealed to us historically through his people Israel, and through his son’s incarnation. What the church does is try to take these revelations/projections and through reason map out the source.
Oh this is really great. Thanks for that. The code is concise.

1. Tesla is outpacing Asian manufacturers, not the other way around.

2. Your first point doesn't really apply to my point (2), as that was more about how Tesla is actually getting feedback on their batteries in the field, through servicing their own cars / battery packs and getting constant battery data from the cars themselves and from use of their Supercharger network. This is incredibly useful, others aren't really doing it, and "being Asian" isn't really a silver bullet for this one...

IMO the pricing itself signals that the product isn't worth paying for. $0.99 per month? For what I'm sure includes hours of streaming? It's close enough to $0 that I don't even think about whether an additional buck is going to make a difference.

> WebRTC may be important to some people, but is by no means a basic web technology

WebRTC is absolutely a basic web technology in 2021. Especially in the COVID age. Safari's implementation is lackluster at best, and unusable at worst. Many popular conferencing services simply don't support it.
Some nice responses to this, but I'd be interested in hearing about the trade off between a big company spinning its own IT department vs hiring an IBM et al.

Attached to articles about ERP and government contracts failing and going over budget I often see comments like, this isn't rocket science I could code something for them. Obviously not the right fit for everybody, but is it right for some?
That is the privacy policy that users agree to if they joined post acquisition (probably because Paypal doesn't expect to sell it at this time), which is different than the policy that users agreed to when they joined pre-acquisition. They may have been forced to accept the new policy post acquisition anyway.

I think the weasel is this nibble here:

> but only for purposes allowed by this Privacy Policy;

The privacy policy is between the user and Honey, not the user and PayPal, which implies they are still legally separate entities ("parent company"). Unless Honey has an agreement with Paypal that it can audit and enforce - which as a subsidiary, why would it want to - then once PayPal has the data, its actual use of it is governed by the privacy policy between the user and PayPal if there is an existing relationship or ???

It sounds like all Honey and Paypal need to do is find a half plausible justification from the PP for the data transfer; once it's handed over, Paypal is basically free to do whatever it wants.
It looks like the finger print only rely on ip/user-agent and I think ip/user-agent are ok to be stored and still GDPR compliance?
This seems rather user-hostile. The downvote count is useful for identifying videos that aren't what they claim to be. And how about DIY videos that give terrible advice? A big downvote ratio will get most people's attention in a way that critical comments may not.
Usually people whom point that is a conspiracy against Free/Libre Software are dismissed as lunatics or fanatics. Because all FUD spread over the years by big corps like Microsoft and Google, developers are so anti-GNU and so anti-GPL that they firmly believe in nonsenses like GPL being a restrictive license so you should use MIT or another permissive license for your code so big corps can adopt it. Another nonsense is Free/Libre Software and Open Source Software are the same thing, but they aren't.

A permissive license like MIT allow companies to take your code and make it their code and then companies make millions with your code sharing nothing/zero/nada with you. Funding Open Source developers are a big problem the community struggle with and it is by design. GPL, on the other hand, doesn't allow companies to take over your code. If they want your code in their products because your code is valuable they need to pay you, the developer, or share the code with the community so everybody can monetize the code.

The big problem is that companies don't want to pay for what they use. And it is not only in the tech industry, it is everywhere. Companies want you paying them for stuff you use from them, but they don't want to pay you for the stuff they use from you. As someone already wrote here, Open Source is just free labor for big companies to make them money. It's time to stop being stupid. This attack on RMS as a person and all his flaws are bullshit. Everybody knows that the Tech Industry are full of people worse than RMS. Tech industry are full of CEOs, CFOs, CTOs, COOs, manager, <put your role here> that are sexists, racists, transphobics, misogynists and <put your word here> and yet there is no public campaign to remove them from their roles. The same companies that are promoting this campaign against RMS are the companies that don't hire women or black, asian, latin, trans people for leadership and executive roles and yet, no public campaign. Why? Everybody seems to have some shit to say about RMS but not about these companies? Do they pay your salary so they are allowed to screw everybody without your criticism? Why moral, ethics, social justice are applied to some but not to all?

This campaign has one goal, to use RMS flaws to cancel RMS and censor him. Am I saying he is perfect? No. Am I saying he is good? No, because I don't know him. I don't know if he is a good or a bad person, if he deserves his position as a leader in Free/Libre Software community, I don't know if he did something bad or outlaw. If he did, he should pay. But this is not an excuse for these companies that do not like him and are ideologically opposed to him to try silence him with this cancel culture.

While technically true, showing the Like/Dislike count provided valuable information for viewers. Determining whether or not a video is worth my time will become a lot more difficult.
It's something that people who deal with highly sensitive information and sources should know, absolutely. But it's still not a big deal for anyone who's not going up against a well resourced government.
Do microbes affect athletic performance?
It's still a barrier for beginners. I teach both TLA+ and Alloy and people struggle with remembering TLA+ tokens much more than they do with Alloy, which has synonyms for common operators. You can write `implies` instead of `=>` if you want, which makes the teaching experience much smoother. If I could have students use `&&`, `||`, and `!` instead of ⋀ ⋁ ¬ that'd cut out a lot of early friction.

This is also why I "pythonize" the TLA+ tokens during talks. Trying to explain the math syntax gets in the way of explaining the core ideas.

Your link just goes to the main support page?
> It has incremental compilation, in-place binary patching, the ability to use code before declaration in a file, compile-time code execution, and extremely low compile times. Rust itself doesn't have most of those.

Rust has all of those except in place binary patching and fast compile times.
Seems to be a visibility-only change to a small cohort of users.

Tangentially, I've often wanted a third button, call it "disinterested".

This would just tell YouTube not to recommend more of the same for me, without adjusting the ratio of votes up or down.

There are many videos I don't actively dislike (I might not have any strong feelings) I just don't want YouTube to recommend more cats with laugh tracks after I click a some link in our #random Slack channel.
IMO this wouldn't be a bad thing. There would be a stronger market mechanism at play here. It could cut down on the amount of garbage internet we consume, while incentivizing producers to create higher-value content that people will pay for, and that won't be forgotten immediately like this Suez website.
My only hope is that they don't Texas. Escaping one hellhole to make a new one.
Whoa! You must have misunderstood me dramatically. One does not need to overthrow a government to issue international standards. That certainly wasn’t the case October 1874 when they standardized international mail, nor was it needed in April 1951 when they standardized shipping containers for the global trade network.

My question was simply: What is keeping banks and governments around the world from standardizing money transfer between nations, like they did so well 150 years ago with mail? And my statement: Perhaps it is easier to settle on a standard way of transferring money between nation states then to rely on bitcoin to save some people from hyperinflation + predatory money transfer solutions.
> Awful recommendations

I've tried Apple Music and Deezer and both just suck at keeping moods. Apple will go from calm piano to noisy experimental hip hop within 2 or 3 tracks.

Spotify recommendations, while still flawed (really every recommendation algorithm should let a user tune some parameters based on mood, like how much new stuff should be included), are by far the best I've heard.
Just through a quick google search and chose one that happened to be near the route I drove between work and my sons daycare. Her website was pretty generic and minimal, so I didn't have high hopes going in, but feel I lucked out as she had an undergrad degree in Kinesiology (or similar), and was a semi-professional cyclist, and had a lot of applied knowledge on anatomy, health, wellness, performance.

The keywords I would recommend looking for when looking for a masseuse would be myofascial release, trigger-point therapy, and active release therapy, though, your mileage may vary of course. I found the 30-45 minute appointments too short, and the 1.5 hour too long, but an hour was just right.

At first we just focused on the shoulders and back, but as I learned and researched more, as well as trying to find problem spots myself, we did a couple sessions on calves, buttocks (mainly piriformis), hands, neck/scalenes, forearms/elbow.

A few other things I didn't add in my first comment:

- I now always use a heating pad under my keyboard. The office spaces I've been working in the last decade are cold, industrial spaces, and the desk surface and hence my keyboard are always frigidly cold. I was developing arthritis-like symptoms (joint stiffness, I could feel the tendon 'clicking' in my pinky finger). I now use a generic heating pad under my keyboard and couldn't go back to not using it.

- Really paying attention to my wrist/arm posture when I sleep. I was a side sleeper and would flex my wrist under my chin when I slept which was putting additional stress on my wrist/forearm, I now really try to focus on relaxing my hands/arms when I sleep. This took some time, but I think it's one of those little things that paid off in the long run.

- I also have a Dr. Ho's Tens electro stimulation unit which I will use on my elbow, forearm, shoulders and back as needed. I find it helps. For the cost of ~1 massage appointment it seems worth while, even though reception/reviews/clinical proof of it's effectiveness is mixed.
We had a fairly similar grading program in my IT capstone project. The professor made it clear that if a group had either a total grifter or was an all-star team exceptions could be made. We had to give lots of presentations and question and answer sessions. It was generally pretty clear to the entire class which students were slackers and couldn't answer questions and which ones knew their stuff.
I'm going to try to capture a crash report and send it to you.

I should note that it's not a "crash" -- it's just that I get immediately disconnected from the meeting when I have my video + audio on and then someone else joins. I'll try to get some repro steps and send to you!
