Well, with effective measures to control the virus. Places like Taiwan never really locked down - that's more an emergency measure to use after things have run out of control.

I love this quote from Edgar Mitchell (Apollo 14) on seeing Earth from the Moon:

You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, "Look at that, you son of a bitch."
“In a speech in 2002, Crichton coined the term Gell-Mann amnesia effect, after physicist Murray Gell-Mann. He used this term to describe the phenomenon of experts believing news articles on topics outside of their fields of expertise, even after acknowledging that articles written in the same publication that are within the experts' fields of expertise are error-ridden and full of misunderstanding”
on the contrary, a lot of girls in Russian universities seem to be a lot more interested in mating(in serious way, finding the best husband they can) than in the field they supposedly are going to work in(specifically engineering, when most of guys who study some kid of engineering are really into it, girls just study to get grades)

You should not use Thunderf00t as an authority on this. He has no clue what he's talking about. That seems to be a problem in general, he doesn't actually do much research on the topics he talks about. So unless he already has some understanding of the topic, he doesn't provide much insight.

He seems to think Energy Vault is an alternative to pumped hydro, which it is absolutely not. They're not solving the same problem.

Pumped hydro is best suited for regulating power over days/weeks. You do not want to use it to do frequency regulation or regulate power fluctuations over hours/days. In fact, in Norway, where there's a whole lot of hydropower, and now an increasing amount of wind power, they're considering putting battery storage inside hydro power plants. This may seem really stupid until you understand that constantly regulating the output of a hydro power plant up and down wears down all the parts of the power plant much faster, and can cause issues for life in the river downstream. So it actually makes a lot of sense, since the hydro power plant has a good grid connection and may have some spare areas for batteries.

Batteries and solutions like Energy Vault are primarily intended for frequency regulation and short term storage, and that covers most of what's needed to help balance renewables in most areas.

There's a bunch of other serious flaws in his reasoning too, such as thinking that a marketing-material picture of Energy Vault next to wind turbines means that they actually propose putting Energy Vault towers right next to wind turbines, rather than just an illustration that the Energy Vault helps regulate output from renewables.
> I don't have anything to say about people that uses a slurs against themselves because that isn't what I saw in 4Chan. It was someone calling other people "Archfags" as an insult, and each of the other examples I cited were used as insults. I've checked /g/ a few times since I posted my original comment to see if it was a fluke, but nope: Still lots of racial & homophobic insults.

I think you interpret these words are insults when they are simply descriptors.

You keep saying they are used so commonly but you don't provide any context for these quotes.

Let us consider: https://desuarchive.org/g/search/text/archfag/

On the first page of 25 comments, 10 were used in a manner of disagreement with the person referred to, 5 were self-descriptors, 5 were in praise of others, and 5 were with no positive or negative inference to it.

If we search or "Arch user" instead:

https://desuarchive.org/g/search/text/%22arch%20user%22/

We get rather similar results.

Given that the phrase “Arch user” is used insultingly with the same frequency, would you apply the same logic to the word “user”?

First hand experience is that it can be very rewarding if the wave lengths match. It opens a whole new world of experiences and thinking patterns.

They only mention the problem with banks not wanting to handle cash any more, which leaves people who still depend on cash with few options.

Some issues not listed i the article, but which I have noticed here in Sweden:

- Many shops are no longer accepting cash payments, which leaves you unable to transact if you don't have either a payment card (Visa/MC mostly) or the local payment app (Swish).

- Your banks systems doesn't have 100% uptime, and when their systems are being serviced you can't transact.

- Your cellphone carrier doesn't have 100% area coverage, which also makes you unable to transact. If you're a city dweller you probably won't find out until it's too late, and you might have to travel miles to get enough reception to transact.

>When governments don't provide good welfare nets, social housing, and social services to help people, homelessness is higher.

It's not just about what they provide, but also how they provide it. If the bureaucracy to take advantage of these housing benefits is too thick, then the people that need it the most won't be able to get them.

This is one thing where individuals trying to help are likely going to do better. An individual isn't going to have a bureaucratic mess that you need to navigate to get help. The government might have such a mess though.
I wonder how we could get more people to experience this effect... Something like what Stewart Brand did by pushing for and publicising the first whole earth picture (in part via the Whole Earth Catalog) but more for the internet age.

I was toying with an idea of a site called "Get Some Perspective" where you'd start off with a FPS view and as you scroll you gradually zoom out, eventually to the whole observable universe. You could send this link to people if they're being short-sighted, callous, etc and hopefully instill a bit of the Overview effect in them...
This exactly the same in the UK - I absolutely hate parking in those cramped multi-storey car parks, where after parking you can only open your door about an inch, and have to kind of ooze out of your car. Getting back in is even worse!

The study uses data from Norway.

Maybe this is a good choice because the relevant variables can be controlled for.

On the other hand, the US has the most universities per capita, and students come from all over the world. Might this be one of the larger sources of heterogenous marriages as well?

Eventsourcing is a possible solution for audit trails but comes with additional complexity.

If you just want to add audits of what changed when then you can also get there with a separate audit table that just stores timeframe, changed fields with new values and who/what made the change. Some frameworks have support for this out of the box or with a small library.
I loved going to arcades. They're still somewhat around here (including the largest arcade in the US, Galloping Ghost), but they're almost exclusively older games at this point, and they're mainly free-play. Which is still good, but it used to be cool having a stack of quarters and seeing how far you could stretch them.

> What I don't see is that people join the institution with that market as an intention.

Perhaps that happens because society would judge people to be creepy if they did that. Imagine you were a man and you announced to the world that you joined a yoga class not for yoga but for finding a girlfriend. The vibe that you broadcast would probably backfire on you.

I'm experimenting on adding dating/marriage market to the institutions like educational institutions, work, sports clubs, and so on.

I'm working on SwanLove (https://swan.love). Right now, it's just an ordinary centralized dating website. But I plan to build a decentralized dating app (without crypto). It's akin to GitLab or WordPress. Say, you own a gym. You can host my dating app yourself (https://yourgym/dating) or on my site (https://swanlove/yourgym). Then anyone who wants to join your dating app must have your gym membership.

This way, a man in your gym who is attracted to a woman can send his like in your dating app. A woman can ignore or receive the romance invitation. Without this dating app, a man has to approach a woman in your gym. That, to some extent, can make a woman uncomfortable. You read some complaints from women about unwanted advances from men in gym.

You would say that hitting on women is not appropriate in gym. So which places are okay to hit on women? My female friend told me that it's okay to hit on her in yoga classes. But what about tennis club, salsa club, workplaces?

This is why I'm experimenting with this decentralized dating app. I know, I know, to some extent, this dating app can kill spontaneity.

> as a single wind turbine, which is already one of the worst ratio of power output per quantity of resource and land use.

This is just false. Every wind turbine I've ever seen uses 50 square feet on a farm or cattle ranch.

Not once have I seen a wind farm where the land underneath isn't still used for it's previous purpose.

And at least in US we have enough farmland to power entire US with wind.

And that's not counting rapidly growing offshore wind power. Which uses no land at all

The exploit isn't a general risk of package management, but a weakness in scripted pull request handling.

GitHub is the problem, and not for the first time (remember the Homakov exploit?).

Homebrew is quite similar to FreeBSD ports, which do not have these issues. Incidentally, I find that a lot of packages in Homebrew have a very high packaging quality that puts several distributions to shame. I'm saying this as someone who had previously been suspicious of Homebrew, but then I looked at some of the packages.

I first picked it up from Rails many years ago. Now almost every SQL table I create has created_at, updated_at and possibly deleted_at or archived_at fields. Many frameworks or ORMs have support for automatically setting updated_at. And it might even be done at SQL level but I’m not 100% sure on that.
What I dislike in the VM approach is that the development machine and the host are somewhat disconnected and it's non-trivial for them to share files. Also, I'm concerned I'll write software with too many linuxisms that would render it incompatible with other Unixes (which are still used in far too many places). With my tooling, I even try hard to make it work on Windows, just in case.
I've heard a similar argument and I don't think it's entirely wrong, but I think the function is a little more complicated.

Because when you spend enough time around anyone, you realize they suck (because everyone does). So some degree of grace is required as well to maintain love once the proximity factor has peaked.

Assembly is the textual representation of an instruction set meant to be executed by a machine.

It's good to want to help. Constructing and using home-made medical solutions is often risky though.

It sounds[1] like there are distribution issues for the existing oxygen supplies that regions of India produce.

Perhaps additional distribution capacity and redundancy could get more of those supplies to where they are needed, particularly for regions that cannot produce enough of their own.

Given that the cryogenic tanks used for distribution (as described in the article) can take months to construct, this could imply that help from neighbouring countries and regions will be important. Perhaps this becomes an awareness-raising, social communication, and co-ordination task.

Battery does not just degrade with power cycles. It also degrades with time. Not sure about the numbers for LFP, but it's something you need to take into account. For some areas time may be a more important factor than cycles. If it does a full cycle every 3 days or so, it'd take roughly 25 years to reach the cycle limit.

It's also important to remember that capacity will be reduced gradually. After 25 years both the energy storage capacity and power output of batteries will be seriously reduced, while the gravity-based system will most likely still be at full capacity.

I still think the estimate may be too high. Especially taking into account that these systems will compete in the future at a time where battery costs will be lower. But it might still make sense to build gravity based systems for a while to make sure all the lithium we mine goes to batteries for transportation.
