No. Hydroplaning boats cost multiples of regular boats.

Three kinds.

Regular planing boat. Cheap and fast but very inefficient and thus can't be electric.

Hydroplaning boat. Fast, efficient so can be made electric. But very expensive.

Non planing boat. Cheap, efficient. Can be made electric. But is slow.

Mikael at Candela, the C-7 maker, here. Hydrofoils have a number of benefits, among them are: less slamming (up to a certain sea state), less drag and better fuel economy, and smaller wake. Boeing 929 Jetfoiler from the 1970's onwards and the Russian hydrofoils that were produced in large numbers during the 1950's-1980's largely used hydrofoils because they made smaller wakes (Russian river rockets) or handled choppy water well (Boeing, in Hong Kong and Japan).

At Candela, we use hydrofoils to reduce the energy usage, to be able to make an electric boat that has long range at high speeds, above 20 knots. Conventional hulls are hard to electrify since they need so much power. However, we use a new type of hydrofoil: fully submerged hydrofoils, that are more efficient but needs active stabilization from computers and software. The on-board Flight controller adjusts the hydrofoils at 100 hZ, or 100 times per second, which makes for a craft that won't pitch or heave. This tech was available in the 1970's - it's basically a very similar Flight controller as in an inherently unstable jet fighter like F-16 - but thanks to drones and smartphones, the price reduction of sensors makes it possible for us to offer this tech in a leisure boat.

And - we're scaling our electric hydrofoil tech to commercial ships. Right now, we're starting the construction of the world's first foiling electric shuttle ship for the city of Stockholm. At its launch next year, Candela P-30 will be the fastest electric ship ever at 30 knots, as well as most energy-efficient ship ever built. Energy usage is 1/10th of conventional diesel ships.

Thanks for the hint!

I deal with contour produced by OpenCV and it's the picture that I'm passing through that are resulting in weird set of lines. Imagine taking a photo of old map and trying to figure out where oceans and continents are. For very good quality photo tuned contour algorithm will find shapes of continents. With degrading quality of photo (also with bad light conditions) there will be more and more artifacts picked up by the algorithm. I take the resulting contour apart and treat it as separate lines in hope that this will help me remove those artifacts and only leave contours of continents.
How is it not similarly abusive to ban non-approved software from being installed without paying a 30% protection fee?
I think this story is very, very common. Still, some complex diseases (eg. Cystic fibrosis, Down syndrome) do turn out to be simple on a genetic level, so there is some merit to this approach.

Moreover, there is currently no better way to understand diseases genotyping thousands of people with and without the disease and 'running the stats', so it's worth the try

I was the tehnician type for a very long time, until I realized it was keeping me back. Now, whenever I encounter an idea guy, I just ask 'how' and 'what' (never 'why!') until I understand what they actually want, and the idea usually turns out to be a lot tamer than how it initially comes across.

Even in these situations, there will be the idea guys that really don't even have an answer to the first how, or what. The advantage is that you don't have to be the nasty technician telling them it's impossible, and turns the problem around to them being unable to formulate their ideas, usually due to not exploring it in depth.

This has always struck me as both something strongly encouraged by management (“we’re like family here!”) and extremely dangerous. Anyone living this way is risking having their life ripped away from them the moment their labor is no longer convenient for their employer.

> How long until Apple decides to discontinue the tags on their current generation of devices forcing you to upgrade?

I’m confused: what would require an upgrade?

Unless iPhones stop supporting Bluetooth, which obviously won’t happen, or ultra wideband, which is not impossible but very unlikely, these devices will work with iPhones effectively forever.
I get home, open a beer and start breaking it down to working units. Things I understand I make a note of. Those I understand I write down questions on what it is I dont get so when I ask someone I have tangible questions to pepper them with. Then its time for research. Nothing is new under the sun. Then have two more beers, write a few emails to people who might help and call it a night. Rinse and repeat until I am confident enough to smash it. Not really a trick, but does the job. At least for me.

"... terminated 470,000 developer accounts in 2020" damn
I used to think that too, but we accidentally ran an unplanned social experiment down here in Texas a couple of months ago when a freak weather event took out the entire state's power grid at a time when we needed it to keep from freezing to death. It lasted a week, and just about everything was out, everywhere. We didn't devolve into chaos and anarchy then - if we can collectively last a week without power in subzero temperatures, I have more hope for civilization than some.

Sorry, when I said 200k, I meant withdrawing & spending 200k/year, not earning 200k/year. In today's environment you're more likely to be earning (at least) 400k/year by the time you retire if you're following that playbook.

If you take a pretty standard estimate of career and comp growth for an engineer that joined a FAANG company as a new grad and stuck around, generally speaking they'd get promoted to senior-equivalent within 7-8 years (faster for Facebook - 5 years there). Over that time, assuming annual expenses of ~50k/year (single, renting a 1-bedroom in the Bay, leaving you with 20-25k to cover everything else), and sticking everything that's left over into the market, you'd have well over a million by year 8. Let's then pessimistically assume your compensation never grows after it reaches 400k - at that point you'll be taking home ~225k after taxes, or 175k after expenses. Stick that into the market for another decade, you end up with ~5m.

You might say that 50k/year in expenses is unrealistically low for someone living in the SFBA - it's not, really, you aren't even living with roommates and you have five figures to play with after housing and transportation (remember, food is close to free, since most of these places will feed you 3 meals a day M-F if you want). But even if you bump that up to 60k/year that pushes out your retirement date... by a year. Maybe.

This is all inflation-adjusted, mind you. 5m in today's dollars is enough to retire on extremely comfortably, and unless you decide to drastically increase your spending in retirement it'll be growing faster than your draw-down.

I imagine most people who do this either keep working or start working on their own projects. I'm not aiming for this just so I can watch TV all day, let me tell you :)
Educated people vote for democrats. They also have money. Not super surprising.
Isn't it a net benefit to everyone if each country pursues its comparative advantage though?

I don't see why becoming some sort of Juche state would help anyone.
I think there's a misunderstanding: Most people want to use the .a file from their Linux/package distro that provides static libraries, such as Alpine Linux or nixpkgs.

Such package distributions just use the build system default options to build static libs. For example, Alpine might use `-Ddefault_library=both`.

> if they could keep that libgtk_static around

Why make these special cases instead of just using the build system defaults? That's easier to maintain and more obvious.

> I'd be interested to hear if static linking GTK even has that many benefits

One benefit is almost-infinite backwards compatibility that the Linux and Xorg ABIs provide, being able to make GUI apps that work out of the box everywhere.

Another is that these generated executables are very small, e.g. 12 MB for a full static GTK GUI app [1], or 6 MB when xz-compressed.

This is much less than when using shared libraries. One reason is that dead-code elimination works much better for static linking: It links in only the functions you actually use. For dynamic linking, it's always the entire .so.

They could have put it 2 steps above or found a better way.

often (usually?) DS are paid less than SWEs of the same level!

I have plenty of cynical thoughts as to what drives that compensation gap. Maybe the simplest is just that there is high supply of people with these baseline skills and it isn't easy to distinguish if somebody is good or not.

I think we’re overstating the WFH effect in a lot of places. During Covid I moved from CA to Boise, ID. On the surface, it seems like I’d be part of the problem that’s driving up the cost of homes in the area. But once you dig in a bit more, you’ll realize that the majority of the people moving to Boise come from ... the rest of Idaho.

There are more trends at play in the housing market above and beyond office workers moving to or from WFH.

The "victimized by a conspiracy" anthromorphization is also deeply wrong. They cannot be oppressed - they do not have rights.

Governments are fundamentally made of coercion. Without it they are an empty pile of words, a rules card for poker when the deck is being used for blackjack or building houses of cards. The coercion may be used to support rights like "not being murdered" but granting it rights to further human rights is like trying to increase a number by multiplying a negative number by a grearer than one positive number.

To sum it up if you apply the "corporation as a sociopath" conception governments are basically so alien to be cthulu. Corporations are at least made of people essentially, at least until the first AI run no human owner corporation is founded.

I'm really not sure it's much of a problem.

Sherlock Holmes is in the public domain, and as far as I know, it's been fine. That might be why there have been so many movies and shows based on the character recently.

Imagine it's 2024 and the original Mickey Mouse cartoon just entered the public domain. How does this impact Disney?

-Anyone could watch Steamboat Willie for free (assuming it's online somewhere). I don't see this harming Disney.

-Another big studio like Warner could make a cartoon with the original Mickey. I doubt any of the big studios are even interested in doing so, but if they do, I don't think it will affect Disney's revenue.

-Small studios and independent artists could use the original Mickey character. I think if anyone does this, it's more likely to help than hurt Disney, by boosting Mickey's profile.

-Other manufacturers could make Mickey Mouse merchandise. This is probably the biggest direct harm to Disney, but I don't think it'll make much impact on their revenue.

Some things people couldn't do:

-Use the Mickey Mouse logo. It's protected by trademark.

-Make a sequel or spin off of a modern Mickey Mouse product. Another studio couldn't just make Epic Mickey 2 since Epic Mickey (2010) is still protected.

I'm not sure Disney makes much money off of Mickey compared to other properties like Star Wars, Marvel, Frozen, etc. Mickey's popularity seems to be waning. Apart from a few video games, he hasn't been in much recently. He has a TV show that did fine but isn't particularly popular.

Okay, but what about other popular properties? The first Harry Potter book was published 24 years ago. What if it were in the public domain?

-J. K. Rowling's net worth is estimated to be over a billion USD. She'll be okay.

-People would still buy new books written by J. K. Rowling.

-Only her earliest books would be in the public domain.

In most jobs, you can't expect to work for a few years and be set for life. I'm not sure why it should be different for authors (and it usually isn't). If your book won't make enough money for you to retire after 20 years of sales, you'd either have to write another book, or get another job. That's already the case for the vast majority of authors.

The trick to dealing with a 20 year copyright term is to keep making new works. Which is exactly what copyright was supposed to encourage.

Mikael, my hats off to you and your fine product and sweat you poured into it. My apologies if in any way I seemed to criticize performance of your craft, far from it. I know nothing of it, and electric is going to be the only way in the near future. The context got shifted toward it somehow.

My general skepticism regarding hydrofoils comes from, quite frankly, not seeing that much damage with them because they don't exist 'in the wild' so much here to establish a conventional sense for most U.S. east coast watermen. Plenty of other issues that everyone I know is familiar with, most commonly groundings and striking objects, and occasionally catching cage lines on props. The petrol-era weight bias sticks around and this is where I hope you show us very wrong. I'd love to see some rough water videos of your C-7.

My original response from where everything else stemmed from is that right now this isn't a practical conversion for a common man with something like a 27' cabin cruiser, certainly not in the pocketbook. I do not know how much the C-7 costs, but was my sticker shock that far off?

You'd ask for cash. A middleman would pick it up, convert it to gift cards or Tide laundry detergent (so that the traced cash would go cold) and then pass it forward through the criminal network.

The middleman needs to be paid because it's high risk (cops would trace the cash to the middleman... but no further). So cryptocoin are way cheaper. But still, there's plenty of ways to do things using old school techniques.
Pay has a lot to do with it because if you can switch to an engineering role (SWE or Data Engineer) and have more focused responsibilities and a higher salary then that's what most of them will do.
