Absolutely. And the alternative explanation (we’re seeing a rival demo some new technology) is really frightening.

I heard a funny quote “Americans will literally believe in UFOs before they accept that another country has better technology than them”
> 2. At some point in time the younger generation will revolt against their 'climate change denying governments' and just vote them out.

I wish. Unfortunately this is not how change happens. Women got voting rights not because men suddenly voted their sexists governments out. Women got their voting rights because they fought for it. The only thing that gives me any kind of hope is movements like Fridays for Future and Extinction Rebellion. If they don't succeed, we're all doomed.
Might sound weird, There are a few small twitch streamers who are climbers. Maybe sponsor one of them with a few small products and see if it helps marketing. twitch.tv/mathil1 comes to mind.
Something similar happens in Cuba as well.

There are cheaper places where only locals can go (and till some years ago, also the other way around was true)
The world I used to live in required paying a third party to watch media, from their proprietary devices, and I did not get to watch it whenever, and however I wanted.
While it's true that you could add probably double the H2 storage to most HFC vehicles, I think this is the correct take. The Mirai's fuel tank is 37.25 gallons/141 liters vs 12-15 gallons/45-55 liters of gasoline for most cars.

Tank capacity only helps so much. You may have to fill up half as often, but having to go out of your way for a special station is annoying. ICE vehicles could easily have 40 gallon tanks, and eventually FCVs won't have these incredibly high ranges.
I would pay you a $100 USD if you could consistently get a scam like this into the App Store. And by this I mean:
- Low effort
- Phishing for data
- Pretending to be Microsoft.
So you are surprised that the iPhone maker is starting to release their Macbooks like iPhones?

Like I said before, I skipped the M1 and its seems to be paying off.
My website is about personal finance and they openly tell me this stuff
At least 75% of Americans live in houses. A garage isn't necessary, just a driveway with access to an outlet.
Horrifying.

The massive scale of fraud in unemployment payments and PPP loans shows the government cannot be trusted to administer social programs ever again.
But it is productive. It reminds you what happens if you are accidentally naïve enough to give Palestinians a chance to hurt you. They will take that chance at any cost and price because they do not care about their own wellbeing. And they did well in brainwashing the rest of their people into being bloodthirsty savages, the damage is already deep in their minds and hearts. Just taking a look at their schools and propaganda.

The Palestinians already chose to dehumanize themselves. They choose to teach their own children that nothing matters more than killing Israelis. They choose to raise their children into a brainwash of shahids. Nothing short of a massive generational counter-brainwash can fix this problem. It's damage rooted deep in the minds of Palestinians and no leader can fix it because no peaceful leader can arise and lead people who have been brainwashed into war since they were born.
[Here's my best summary of what a "fierce nerd" is, according to this essay]

Most non-nerds think of nerds as:

* quiet
* diffident

In fact some nerds are quite fierce. "Fierce nerds" are:

* small group [subset of nerds overall?]
* more competitive than highly competitive non-nerds
* competition is more personal for them; they're not
emotionally mature enough to distance themselves
personally from competition
* work in areas that are less random in the kinds of
competition they engage in [no points for
persuasion or style, I suppose]
* somewhat overconfident, especially when young
* intelligent, at least moderately so
* independent-mindeded, see fitting it as wasted effort
* annoyed by rules
* impatient, not sure why

[I'll let you draw your own conclusions.]
Lack of advertising is probably the main reason. I have had a few Nexus and Pixel phones and they've all been excellent.
Paul Graham himself muses in this post that the main contrast is between people who are "good at making deals" and those who are actually competent in some relevant domain. We can see this shift happening in politics as well.
There are already early stage projects in France (and I assume other places as well) where Siemens Gamesa is using prototype turbines that does exactly this at an offshore wind farm
Zero is a digit.
Pretty asinine if your claim about it being illegal in the pas is true. Making it illegal to know the truth about genocide... That's on a whole new level than turning Manning into Chalsea for revealing to the world how much US army cares for the conquered people
> one would need something like 1MW charging per every 4 cars,

10 kW per 4 cars is plenty enough.

I charge overnight a 24 kWh Nissan Leaf (< 10 hours a couple of times a week), and just use a 2.1 kW EVSE to charge at a standard socket on a 16 A circuit breaker.

If those were available at all parking spots in the city (say from city lamps), everybody could have electric cars.
> But YouTube is actually even worse.

Youtube's recommendation engine is to get you click on it and watch a certain percentage.

It's not designed to show you things that you "like." It's way more sophisticated than that.
I would have citied that, but they use solid boosters which makes the number messier... I could get a lot of range on a Tesla if I was allowed to use solid fuel boosters!
Does that mean we shouldn't ever strive for better?

> from their proprietary devices, and I did not get to watch it whenever, and however I wanted.

That's still quite possible in the future. If providers lock down the hardware you can use to watch then maybe you won't be able to watch on your phone if they don't feel like letting you.
MOT = Annual roadworthyness inspection.

Presumably lbriner hopes the inspectors would fix IoT camera botnets rather than, say, demanding you install McAfee antivirus.
I agree, and whenever I bring up that web designers can do anything but wrong, I've been piled up on before.

I'd still take a mildly broken AMP page to read an article over the "intended experience" with ads and trackers everywhere and any attempts to block them would break the page further.
Suppose I can emulate a human brain neuron for neuron. How exactly is it different in capabilities from an actual human brain? What quantifiable property can you assign to the human mind that makes you so certain a machine can never match it?

Your argument is basically good old god of the gaps. You look at what the state of the art in technology cannot do right now, and base assumptions on that without really delving into the issue. 10 years ago you would've included stuff like image classification and natural language generation in the "only humans can do this" bin.
It's important because it uncovers crime and corruption, asks politicians and institutions tough questions and keeps them in check.

The situation in Hungary has gone really south once there was no strong independent media outlet left. Poland is following a similar path.

This chip is going to give us surprises in the next future. I can only imagine what is is store, but a rack of this kind of tech could really drive down power consumption of data centers
I really just fucking love plugging in at home to charge (and so does my family, and no I'm not just saying that). I don't want "infrastructure". I would take even slower charging if it meant I got to charge at home. As-is, I'm very satisfied, and excited to see where EV tech goes. I'm sure in a few years the charging speed and range I've got now will be peanuts to what's out there.

My maintenance costs have been tire rotations. I joked to the service tech that I'm sorry they're not making more money off of me.
I'd argue it has much less to do with mac mini being any more important than the chip itself being important. They're probably trying to push it in every spot they can, and there is no sense in making more old chips if you can just put the new one in instead.
Are disk sector writes atomic?
Using James Watson as an example is an interesting choice.

When I think of James Watson, I think of someone who a) stole his major work (the one thing for which he is famous) from a woman without giving credit, and b) has been almost-literally cancelled for being consistently racist, also by his colleague-science-nerds who consistently report that they don't like him.

Not someone that I want to celebrate for being a 'fierce nerd'.

Got to agree with @arsitofun. Time is your most valuable asset - if you're not energized by "selling" or "learning how to sell", then hire someone who is.
Apple 24-inch M1 iMac review
You are both correct, thanks for the advice as difficult as I am finding it communication is the key thats missing I am focusing too much on the development side of it like a typical developer but the client is just never going to see it that way. I need to focus more on my communication rather than just hoping they get it.
This right here. I've never worried about the quantity of chalk I'm using, like wonder_er says it's super cheap and plentiful. BUT I do hate having sweaty slippy fingers, that's what climbers care about.

Also, you may want to offer US pricing and shipping if possible. It's a small thing, but as an American the prices in Euros slightly throw me off and present an impediment to purchasing. It's not logical per se, but it helps to see pricing in the local currency if you want to sell to me.
This is not so much a waiver of a right than a transfer. As such, I know of no instance where transfer of ownership like this has been made illegal insofar as the ownership itself is not in doubt.
Both the pressure tanks as well as the fuel cells themselves degrade over time and need to be maintained and replaced.
Emptiness in the Origin of 'Evanescence'
Can modern EVs really fast charge in only 8-10 minutes? I thought we where still talking on the order of 30+ minutes.
It's not scientific at all, but for most people gas mileage comes down to "how often do I have to go to the gas station".

Which is why once electric cars passed a certain point they become effectively infinite mileage as far as people are concerned (as they never have to think about charging as it's always charged overnight).

Similar for how for most people there are only two speeds of computers - I have to wait for it vs I don't have to wait for it.
For a little background on the movie industry and antitrust law, the Hollywood studios once upon owned everything from the way movies were produced, distributed and exhibited.

The monopoly held by the studios was effectively broken up following WWII. Yes, there were multiple studios competing but individually they were engaging in antitrust behavior.

This acquisition is essentially a waiving of the white flag and passing the torch. It will be allowed because big tech/Hollywood own politicians.

However, and I think to your point, it is impossible to reconcile that Netflix is engaging in the same behavior (producing, distributing and exhibiting) as the Hollywood studios when the courts broke up the industry to allow fair competition.

I can relate to this idea. I've never actually used chalk. My hands are the right level of tackiness with a little bit of sweating that chalk takes it to the point of slippery. All my clibming friends are like "You dont use chalk??"
Not from the studios perspective. They want the exclusivity.
>The useful follow on to this essay, I would think, is to give a list, as long as possible, of places where "fierce nerds" are wanted, demanded, needed - both well-known institutions and startups.

Hmm, that's kind of what catalogs were created a long time ago - so people could browse product offerings and order them.

IKEA, La Redoute, and many other companies used this approach, and people literally had these in their living rooms so themselves, their family, or even guests would have something to fiddle with.

Catalogs are marketing tools, and usually come out of marketing budget.
Unfortunately I can't comment on production Elixir use (yet), but as a proffessional Ruby engineer of 6 years and an Elixir hobbiest of 3, I think that Elixir's biggest drawback is its deceptively high learning curve.

The learning curve is "deceptive" because the Elixir syntax is very easy to pick up for someone familiar with Ruby and, once you get over the functional "gotchas", you can feel productive very quickly. Especially-so given how much you get out-of-the box with a standard "mix new" project.

The learning curve is "high" because in order to actually write Elixir in a way that scales well in prod, you'll need to get comfortable with Open Telecom Platform principles like GenServer and Supervisors, which will likely feel very foreign at first.

For any Rubyist working in Elixir, if you encounter a situation where your Ruby brain wants to start browsing Hex for a library, you should probably answer these two questions first:

1. Can we do this easily with GenServers?
2. Is there an Erlang standard library module that already does this?

Conversely, if you jump in expecting to rely on Hex the same way you rely on Rubygems, you're in for a bad time.

Ultimately, I think you really need someone (ideally two someones) who is comfortable with the Actor Model and OTP in order to use Elixir successfully at a business.

But if you can build that solid OTP foundation for your project, there's a decent chance you're in for a good time.

The real-word business cases provide some encouraging examples of that:

The big problem with hydrogen is just how small it is. It likes to leach through stuff hold just about everything else. You very well might need custom hoses, custom seals, and custom materials for the castings just to safely store it at 10kpsi. It'll leak through solid steel containers that will otherwise hold helium fine.
I know its not, that was sort of the point here. I made sure to qualify this with arguing in hypotheticals before coming up with the scenario.

Starting this sub-thread with a debate about what makes a cold blooded murder is another way of taking the debate into arguing hypotheticals and is not a good-faith tactic. What I did here is simply taking the bait and continuing to the logical next step.
I like how the actual secret to success is basically 'already be an insider with lots of connections'. I definitely don't think you're wrong; it just goes against the esoteric startup narrative we always see.
I thought this article would be something interesting about the song "Mac the Knife."
It's not a fossil fuel byproduct. It's a fossil fuel product.

You take natural gas, split it in a process called steam reforming, you get hydrogen and CO2 emissions.

Green hydrogen only exists in very small quantities these days and for many years to come it'll be needed to first replace existing natural gas based hydrogen and to decarbonize industries like steel. There's basically a consensus among energy experts these days that hydrogen in cars is a dead end.
Why else would the SEC or the FTC be involved?

One thing I learned from an executive at IKEA (not sure if it was a lecture or conference) is that "eco friendly" (use less, reduce waste, reduce impact) is not marketable. You want to demonstrate that your product is good in its own right and that it just happens to be environmentally friendly. Otherwise the risk is that you are chasing the intersection of two niches.
Emulation of several old Mac hardware in MAME, and how it's improved in the last year with better SCSI, SuperDrive and CD-ROM emulation. He (or they) also improved a lot of other low level hardware emulation quirks in the old drivers like ADB and peripheral buses.
It does not. It does require a Chrome web store account, but you can use any email address you want for that.
Fascinating. It is quite shocking to read about our world not so long ago. I did dissection at university from a cadavar donated for education. We attended a service afterwards, prior to the cremation. I was very grateful to have the chance to learn from it in a way that would have been almost impossible using prosections or models.
I think we should confine this to the primarily US setting (and maybe parts of the English speaking world like Canada). In most of the rest of the world being top in academics is expected from everyone especially to pass standardized tests (the only way in many countries) to get into universities. The poor outnerd the rich fiercely so that they can step up. The rich try to nerd so that they can maintain their privilege.

There are no secret backdoors (like athletics) for the rich in the public schooling and university realm that exist in most of these countries. In essence everyone is a nerd or trying to be a nerd.

In the US system, one could make the argument that elite legacies and the fencing team help the manufactured diversity and lower the “nerd” (achievement oriented) “toxicity.”.

A study abroad for just a semester would be an eye-opener for many of us on the normalcy of nerdness in many societies. Most parents hope their kids become doctors, engineers etc.
I've had MacBooks since 2005, and I'm an amateur photographer. I really don't miss the ports or MagSafe at all. I actually like the USB charging better, as it allows you to connect the cord to either side, and it doesn't get accidentally knocked out if I use it on my lap. I've found that the cord being on other side is nearly as good as magsafe anyway, as it will be better positioned to pull out if it gets yanked.

Yes, I did use the SD card reader from time to time, but most serious cameras use other cards (my older camera uses compact flash, and the newer one uses XQD). It makes no sense for Apple to integrate readers for those, and my XQD/CF readers also read SD cards, so the card reader is useless.

All of my mobile peripherals at this point are USB-C, so I don't care about USB-A ports either. And when I'm at home, I use a dock, which has all of the ports I need.

Honestly I'd much rather that they keep the laptops thin instead of adding ports I'm not going to use.

There are plenty of reasons that any State wouldn't cooperate or seem to be with an external investigation. If I were China I would certainly worry about a frameup or selective leaking of things to sway the public. There is very little motive for China to do anything given the risks.

I didn't think to check first.
In fairness, Linux GUI toolkits suck a lot. I was a professional Qt developer in a past life and while it stands head and shoulders above GTK, that’s really not saying much.

I’ve often thought about making my own toolkit, but there’s so much that we forget about from things like focus to accessibility to text layout and rendering (much text has been rendered on why text rendering sucks). My hope is that Rust breathes new life into native (as opposed to electron) cross-platform GUIs, and indeed there are some interesting efforts underway.
On top of that, most of its residents, whether they are allowed to leave or not, are also stateless, which essentially locks them out of much of the developed world.
My point was that we did strive for better, and I can now watch whatever I want whenever I want however I want, for 90% of things.

For the rest, like sports and some other live stuff that is stuck in the past, I simply ignore.

I would not go after legislation to prevent mergers to prevent locked down devices or restrictions on how you can watch. We already had that without the mergers, so why would that address the situation?

If the point is to keep the content flowing far and wide, then that should be addressed directly.
Does it need regulation? Probably
This is such a non-argument I'm tempted to call it disingenuous. People speaking different languages is a historical accident, just because it's the situation right now doesn't mean it is anything to strive for. A single shared language allows everybody to participate in the process and not depend on someone having translated this or that particular bit of information from language X to language Y. There's a reason the scientific and business communities have always gravitated toward having a lingua franca.

Multilingualism is a barrier in human development that should be overcome, not something to celebrate or protect.
absolutely wrong. Hydrogen fuel cells absolutely degrade over time (they are batteries! Just with more maintenance required due to needing fluids pumped through them). Their lifetime for automotive applications is about 5000 hours, or 150,000-200,000 miles, which is less than what a Model 3’s battery will last.

Cold weather isn’t a major problem, either, you just will want to get a heat pump option. Electric cars are insanely popular in Norway, and it doesn’t seem to be a significant problem.
> Hydrogen has a great energy density, that's why it is used in rockets.

Per kg, but its energy density per litre is very poor. Every modern rocket uses RP1 (kerosene) or Methane (natural gas) for their first stages now.

> It can be refueled in minutes, like gas cars.

If your hydrogen station has 10,000 PSI hydrogen available. A typical station can fill 3 cars per hour quickly. More than that and you have to wait for it to get back up to 10,000 PSI.

> And the economy is based on using "waste" renewable energy. The problem is that solar panels and wind turbines don't produce energy when we need it the most (see: duck curve). The idea is to store that energy as hydrogen and use it in vehicles.

You can also store "waste" renewable energy in EV batteries.
When it comes to utility-scale grid storage, Tesla definitely gets the most press, but I would agree that there are serious competitors like AES and Vestra. I would be interested to hear some names from your endlessly long list, because I can't come up with many of them. For the home battery market, Tesla is definitely one of the leaders.

I think the primary reason Tesla has not shipped more batteries that are permanently attached to the grid, either in from or behind the meter, is that selling a car is a far higher margin destination for their batteries. So as long as Tesla car sales can suck up batteries, the battery factories are probably going to be using most of their time making batteries for cars.
