You can have more than one vote in a democracy look at the American electoral system as an example or any business.

There is no crypto currency where I can just print more coins. Can you please tell me how I can print create more bitcoin for free? VERY interested in this alchemy you speak of.
I do love Elite Dangerous, but its a great example of how difficult it is to make tradeoffs between realism and fun.

It can take months to physically travel to another player (it's not so bad in the bubble, but still), which makes multiplayer difficult. There were always going to be difficulties in implementing atmospheric landings and space legs with the way the game world is, but I think the way they've done it is a bit wonky. The FPS gameplay looks supremely uninteresting, I think they should have focused more on the roleplay and exploration aspect.

On the whole it's a really great game, but no game will ever really play like a personal movie or novel.
Rockwell Automation to Acquire Plex Systems
that's so cool, I was just looking at your pull request on notion-api-worker a moment ago... funny to "run into" other devs across different sites!
Obviously. I’ve never heard management complain about releasing a vulnerable app as long as they’re not aware of it. But the moment you tell them you’re suddenly in a world of ‘why didn’t we fix this before’, blablabla (never mind the few times you told them before when ‘it isn‘t a priority’), have a few meetings wasting even more time repeating the same things to different people. I don’t think it’s any surprise that a smart developer, even when aware, will claim ignorance.
I am a bit disappointed by the low number of planets. If they can detect us, we should also be able to detect them in the next 5000 year. But the creation of life appears to be a rare event, e.g. Venus and Mars are very similar to Earth, but they have no life. So it seems that the possibility that humanity can find alien life within a reasonable time span is pretty low.

The article states that the existence life could be determined by looking at the sharply rising CO2 levels, but those could also be ascribed to volcanic activity.
There are tons of engineers out there who aren't decent, what would you say they do in this scenario?
I think the author(s) of the article is(are) just a tad sloppy. They also claim cobalt makes up to 20% of a lithium ion battery when the article they cite for that claim only speaks about the cathode.
What do you do in Northvolt?
Hi, another Northvolter here! I've been doing some work on our corporate website (1). I'm not able to quickly reproduce the bug (tested in Chrome/Safari on a Macbook Pro), if you can give me some more info about your environment that'd be much appreciated.

(1) not my primary responsibility, but you sometimes get to put on weird and unexpected hats at Northvolt!
I don’t get it, what does it do? Automatically water plants? You can do that with a sub irrigated planter with zero electricity and achieve fantastic yields.
> Not sure if you're being serious here because it's widely acknowledged that they're nowhere near as risky or volatile as cryptocurrencies!?

So penny stocks aren't a risky volatile asset that are listed on stock exchanges!?

> but it is such a small proportion of what is going on.

Is it though? Why are Visa, IBM, Paypal, Square and even Apple looking into and have started to work on cryptocurrencies then?

> No. It's investing. There's a difference.

Is it 'investing' to put your money on a stock only for it to tank over 20% in a course of a week? We both know what that's called and that is not at all investing.
Do you know anotherland than Iceland, which does not consist of such land if you look carefully enough?
...but that is an illusion power, because all we'd be doing is shifting from one poorly managed code dump to another, just shifting the faces on the pointy haired bosses. Finding a technology developing organization that is not a shit show of unmanaged personalities and a teetering tower of technical debt is extremely difficult.
Man, I could just connect these with Retool and prototype some massive apps pretty instantly. Definitely will be keeping this service in mind!
> The fact management told them to do it doesn't matter.

It absolutely does. If you hold any legal power to reject a deployment (like a true engineer), then you can sue the company when they hold it against you, so they won’t.

If you do it in any other situation you are just being difficult.

The manager doused themselves with petrol and demanded their livelihood and that of 77 other employees be guaranteed. So this is a more complicated situation.

Creating a local use account in Windows 11 is _much_ easier than in Windows 10 (at least based on the leaked version I have seen).
A new way to build tiny springs.
I'm one of these. I'm an allrounder software dev in his late fourties, "lured" into a non-software middle management position by the promise of money and stability a few years ago.

In practice, the money has never materialized because our sector took a big hit and much of that promise was tied to incentives based on the company's success. I can't really blame anyone for this, but that's strike one as far as job satisfaction goes.

Second strike, I love writing code, and I don't get to do that a lot anymore. I'm listing these "pre-existing conditions" because I believe it's common for us quitters to have other areas of dissatisfaction that hadn't been enough to drive us over the edge by themselves.

Third strike, while my company does not support WFH after Covid, I did get to experience at least a partial WFH program, and it was absolutely wonderful. There's a problem though: I would absolutely like to continue working from home, but I also want to work on my own projects, on my own terms, on my own schedule. A traditional full time job is not compatible with that.

So I put in my notice for the end of this year, to allow current company projects to come to a conclusion and/or hand them off. I want to stress that for a man in my age group, with no significant savings or other safety net, this is extremely scary. It's just that this Angst is outweighed by the thought of staying on the treadmill hoping for an eventual reward that may never come and seeing the little time I have left drain away.
I always thought these folks might be onto something, though I'm not sure how successful the approach has been: https://www.opensourceecology.org/

This narrative is largely false. Both because nothing was "outsourced" and because american manufacturing is at an all time high.

Automation ended the vast majority of high-labour manufacturing. What was left was only economical to do without automation at extremely low labour costs.

In the next decade, china itself will see large segments of its manufacturing labour gone to automation.
Never used Active Oberon in a project, but I'm currently implementing an extended Oberon version I call Oberon+ (see https://github.com/rochus-keller/Oberon/blob/master/document...) which I enjoy using (currently migrating the Are-we-fast-yet benchmark suite, see https://github.com/rochus-keller/Oberon/tree/master/testcase...). It has generic modules and it is still simpler than Go.
As I mentioned elsewhere. You can do it _and_ it is easier than in Windows 10.
I think this is geared at personal, specifically small-scale backyard farms.
X is only a problem if you use Xlib direcly. Instead use SDL [0] which will handle pretty much all window manager peculiarities for you.

> EU progress is on track. The carbon reduction goals adopted in 2008 for the 2020 are being met.

I was referencing the 2020 NDC targets (55% by 2030), but fair enough.
I'm a lot into how to streamline data architectures, especially around ML solutions, so some titles related to that.

I'm already reading Kleppman's book right now. Tons of very useful knowledge, although quite detailed, and a lot of details around distributed computing, consensus algorithms etc (Part II), which I'm not sure I will need and which make the book rather long. Still, surely worth pressing through.

Some titles I would like to dive into in the summer:

- "The Art of Immutable Architecture" by Michael Perry.
Possibly also:

- "Machine Learning Design Patterns" by by Valliappa Lakshmanan et al.

- "Building Secure and Reliable Systems" by by Heather Adkins et al.

And perhaps something lighter, more inspirational for the day to day work:

- "Coders at work" by Peter Seibel
The M1 macbook air at $999 blows away windows laptops that cost twice as much. It’s available for $899 almost any day of the week on Amazon (or with a school discount).

The average laptop selling price is somewhere in the $700 range. That’s hardly a huge premium considering the delta in performance and user experience compared to low specced machines.

I’d also say without hesitation that cheap Chromebooks are better than their cheap windows competitors. If you just need to do basic things, ChromeOS is much snappier on slow hardware while also being more secure. If you need to do more, you’ll benefit from a faster system at which point the M1 is an easy choice for the money.
> Those cancers where checkups are useful we already do regular screenings for.

More like “are <practical given available tests> and useful”.

Regarding your last paragraph cancer screening seems very rare except for one or two types (at least where I live), so statistically yes an annual test will miss the worst case you presented, but for the vast majority it will be a huge improvement.
> I mean, how many people must consider their readers that stupid to post a chart like this?

Apparently CNN.
For the vast majority of people, "anarchy" does mean "Mad Max style chaos". You probably need to explicitly mention that you mean the specific political ideology if you are speaking to people that aren't really familiar with left-wing thought.
I've been trying out the new Brave Search and it's surprisingly giving pretty good results + there's a one click way to further search on Google if you don't get what you're looking for.
You had a point until you brought up the Yemeni Jews who had been oppressed for generations treated as second class citizens, charged a "protection tax," banned from wearing the traditional Sudra as a form of humiliation, and more recently persecuted by the Houthis. The plight of the Palestinians is very real, but refrain from rewriting the history of Yemeni Jews. Educate yourself.
I don’t think it’s a law in the US, though that’s the common knowledge/frequently repeated claim.

https://www.hemmings.com/stories/2020/08/03/ask-a-hemmings-e...
Interesting shift but it’s probably confined to the US. It seems the US has been toughest on its lowest paid workers. Many if not most other western countries already have extensive welfare programs, with the benefits and ailments that it brings. This means many low-paid jobs simply don’t exist, e.g. bellhop, elevator operators, etc, and that any work requiring employees is much more expensive. The question is, can the US rein it in again? I think so, sadly.
Printing money in bitcoin requires some really weird stuff to happen. Essentially, either you need to scam others with Tether, or you need your apps to literally lie to their users.

Bitcoin was made to be deflationary. That means it was made not to allow anyone to print money. It would have made more sense for them to pick ethereum if they wanted the ability to print money.

Really, the only thing I can imagine is using colored coins in bitcoin, or switching to some other currency later.
I wrote a similar blog post [1] about why I'm taking a sabbatical and it's really fascinating to compare motivations.

> My thesis is that if I focus on enjoying the journey, everything else will follow.

I wrote:

> I don't have a single big project in mind for my sabbatical... I do have a single overarching theme, however: joie de vivre. Everything that I do, even the mundane stuff (especially the mundane stuff), I'm going to focus on enjoying it fully. How you do anything is how you do everything, as the Buddhists say. I have come to believe that the person who can enjoy whatever they're doing and make that joy contagious will actually end up accomplishing the most. Yet even if I don't accomplish anything, I'll still be joyful, so what would it matter anyways?

In my opinion and experience, treating the model as anything but a way to talk to the database behind a service interface is a very slippery slope.

My service methods receive and return pure objects (pydantic or attrs) that I serialize from the models. No other part of the app gets to pass around that service’s model, updating it willy nilly, maybe saving the updates, maybe not.

The service completely hides the model and all corresponding persistence logic behind its interface.

The decoupling you achieve is worth the extra boilerplate. It’s the only way I have ever seen Django apps not become giant balls of mud.
This is for scanning larger things (rooms, buildings). For smaller objects, there's another open-source project that you might find useful: openscan.eu
Leaves probably want some moisture too. If you run pipes straight to the stem you'll have to rearrange them each time you changes here individual plants are which is harder to automate.
Yeah, the offshoring boom is over. Everyone is bringing those roles back to the US. The communication, cultural and skill gaps are too great and costs aren’t that much lower anymore. Anyone who has worked on virtual teams will back up how much less productive things are when having to juggle time zones even between the east and west coast of the US, much less different countries without overlapping work hours.

Nobody wants to offshore to India anymore because the business culture at the big body shops is totally unethical by western standards and there’s just an expectation of getting swindled on QoS; so people only ship low-value jobs like customer service over there. And even those are moving to South America for time zone reasons (and the business culture more closely aligns with the US).
These all seem like complicated ways of avoiding charging more for trading.

Make trading expensive and it will become less voluminous and short term. Allow companies to exclusively list where trading is purposely expensive.
EVE, Elite, and Star Citizen have all done the walking around + ships and it's all been pretty meh (with the first never really going live except for an apartment). It's a cursed feature apparently.
No it’s still pretty useless. If you want a legitimate backyard garden, the rain gutter grow system is the way to go. No robot, no electricity, no weeding, automated watering.
The medical terminology for "flu" is Influenza-like Illness or ILI. Under normal circumstances most ILI during winter is actually Influenza (you can randomly select patients experiencing "flu" into a study that checks if they have the Influenza virus), while most ILI during summer is not.

For most purposes knowing if it's actually Influenza isn't diagnostically important anyway, use medication to treat symptoms, stay home, rest, seek help if you don't feel better in a few days. Crazy how much of the world doesn't make this trivial for all residents - not just the US, but even many countries with some type of mandatory "sick leave" policy don't actually give all workers full pay to stay home with flu - encouraging them to instead go to work and get more people sick. And this normalises associated social expectations which also have negative consequences. If I work when I'm sick, why wouldn't I go to a bar, or visit friends?
"A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work. You have to start over, beginning with a working simple system."

Same reason it's still prudent to learn to triangulate your position with a compass and map when heading into the outdoors (especially in the Southern Hemisphere, where there's lower GPS satellite coverage).
Yes, but that "extra feature" is most probably the main reason that model was bought instead of a cheaper model without a network connection. That is, that "extra ability" would be in fact the main differentiator of that model.
>his has always been the case (since after WWII), but this time, we did it to such an extent, that we have destroyed our domestic manufacturing infrastructure.

Is this true? I am under the impression that the US still has loads of high end manufacturing, it's just the low end stuff that no longer exists and even then it's partially due to automation
The false positive rate of 0.5% refers to the chance that there is ANY false positive in the whole screening, not just a false positive on the pancreatic cancer segment.
Yup.

It's hard enough to achieve that in any game unless you put the player on rails. Even games the size of a city tend to have massive immersion breaking compromises (look at any Bathesda game, Cyberpunk, etc.) Now try scaling that to a whole non-procgen universe!

All those apply to client-side anti-cheat.
You have obviously never used an ultrawide monitor. I think the positioning is an _excellent_ idea.

Besides, most people can easily discover that it's a simple checkbox in settings.
Have heard your argument on the false positives and unnecessary interventions many times.

It is not a good argument. In fact, it makes no sense. If you get a positive with an uncertainty in its accuracy, at the very least, the test is repeated. But even more, you can use the information from the investigation of the reason for the false positive to improve the tests in the first place. If we weren't humans and the uncertainty of the test is known then at the very very very least you could throw a dice to decide whether you discard or not the test result.

If more information leads to worse decisions it just means that the noise level introduced by the test is just too high. A way to reduce the noise is two amplify the signal, and a way to amplify the signal is to look for more information (other tests, other indirect measurements: i.e., look for B if A was positive, etc.).
Interesting points, and I concur. The best takeaway from university was some of the friends and connections, in both cases as involved in the same field as I am. Good people to know.

Though, I'm sure the need for good friends and connections could be provided in other ways whilst studying. All things are subject to change and needs will be met if they're important enough.
It's still the predominant OS for business, so vast majority of people will already be familiar with it and
the starting price for a windows machine is half of what you'd pay for an entry mac.

On another hand, windows is the main PC gaming platform, linux has come a long way and is a lot more viable then even 5 years back, but you're still pretending your windows most of the time so you'll have to deal with additional problems every now and then.

More to the point, I haven't seen any big OEM selling linux boxes outside of dev machines and specialised vendors (system 76).

So yeah, windows still dominates.
No clue about EU in general, but Germany starts the bidding process for 1000 charging stations along its highways in the next months (each having multiple chargers providing at least 150kW). The law for that ("SchnellLG") passed in February.
Then move it to the bottom left.
Additionally, the FAA only regulates buildings that are 200ft above the ground or more (unless they are near an airport), see [1]. It seems ridiculous that the FAA doesn't care if you build a 200ft tall tower and fly a drone inside it but does care if you fly a drone outside at the same height. The FAA likely realizes that regulating all buildings taller than 0ft is a ridiculous proposition while regulating all airspace probably attracts less scrutiny.

I am always interested in the second-order effects. If the automotive industry is 50% EV by say 2035/2040, what other industries does that affect?

In other words, if I cannot hope to raise 2BN but still want to help save the world, what start-ups should I start?

I am thinking things like every parking space in a city will soon come with a parking meter / charge point / embedded wifi-mesh network. Other industries will piggy-back on the new battery standard(s) - my father-in-law just picked up a battery powered lawn mower ! Having one battery pack / interface for many home goods will be almost as transformative.
Yes and no. It depends on what is being manufactured. We manufacture big, expensive things. I have friends that run Garment District companies, and they are pretty much a Bellwether for this kind of thing.

> In the next decade, china itself will see large segments of its manufacturing labour gone to automation.

I agree. It will be slower than Japan and Korea, because China has a much larger population of poor folks that will work 996, but, one day, we will see a very different China.

It will be a consumer powerhouse. If you think America is a consumeristic society, just wait until China becomes mostly middle-class. There's a reason why so many corporations are abasing themselves so much for entry into the Chinese market.
I understand, it's the way of things. Do you perhaps have an archive of older releases?
Pretty much every anarchist I know proposes highly organized societies, far from chaos. Just organized differently than what people are used to.

I wouldn’t necessarily mind, anarchism, or libertarian socialism to use a less loaded term, being brought to my neighborhood. My issues are not with the basic ideas but the concrete implementations.
exactly, this screening is an invitation for overtreatment.
Not sure about US initiatives, but in the UK and more recently NZ there is a 'public service' or 'local democracy' initiative where journalists are jointly funded to cover local news, in partnership with a public service broadcaster (i.e the BBC, or Radio New Zealand) - see https://www.pressgazette.co.uk/bbc-confident-others-will-fol... . It's still early but is promising.
Don’t disagree with any of that however all the effort is before the robotics gets involved.
