Not quite, as that would imply that each game has at most one blunder. It's quite possible for two players to blunder back and forth multiple times.

While I don’t really quibble with the overall argument, spectrum is a limited resource.

If I had xMhz of bandwidth on a communications channel, and the applications I use mean my requirements are skewed in favour of either upload or download, why not allocate more of the available resources to that direction?

It’s an interesting consideration actually, I wonder in future if some, say DOCSIS standard or something, would allow the end user to decide how many channels to allocate for up vs down.
> code is not data

IANAL. I don't know if that distinction exists in law. But it doesn't make sense to me. How do you distinguish code from data? Isn't the whole point of code that it is treated (by the machine) as both code and data?

Suppose I make a "copyright-protected creative work", for example a melody, and then encode that as a database table?

Suppose I have a list of population statistics? Suppose those population statistics have been ingeniously contrived (e.g. by encoding, ordering or whatever), so that given the right interpreter or compiler, the logic of a copyright software work can be replicated exactly, using the list as code?

It's hard to imagine a list of statistics that can be read by a human as easily as he can read code; but that doesn't matter. It's hard to read machine-code too; but copying machine-code without permission is infringing.

It doesn't help that copyright law has drifted over the years, and that despite international conventions, the law varies from place to place. USA and EU see copyright differently. Commenters here are not declaring whose copyright law they are referring to.
I'm not so sure about that, but yeah, maybe. Where I live, teacher unions are very strong, so I don't think teachers would get left out of the four day work week for a long time.

Been running since I was 12 and have done all distances up to marathon and can run a sub-90 min half. And still the first couple miles can suck. Accepting that and that it will get better will do a lot. On long runs where I warm
up on the run, I ignore pace until well into mile 3. Legs are warming up and digestion is turning off —- it’s an uncomfortable experience. But it’s mostly psychological. You can run and run and run just below max heart rate* but you’ll be fighting yourself the entire time. Caffeine increases pain threshold so that can help too.

* should train using heart rate not pace since it accounts for humidity, elevation, and temperature and is what actually improves when training. For example, target running at 165-170bpm instead of 8min/mile because 8min is much easier in 50F than 80F with 90% humidity and your body may be doing the same amount of work at 9min on warm days that it does at 8min on cold days.

When compared to other careers after, say, 15 years of experience you are not well established high paying position as a lawyer or an engineer (the actual kind :) )

After 15 years you are out-of-date dev that didn't find a time to do their job, manage family and friend and have a side projects to keep up to date with technology.

This is a bit overdramatic but sw devs are expected to ride the wave all the way through their careers when other career paths offer stability and protectionism of well established fields.

Yet experts believe that hydrogen fuel cell cars will catch up in the future

This is the same shtick they've been feeding us for thirty years. Fuel cell cars as a realistic choice for consumers has been five years away for decades now. At this point I'm tired of hearing about it. Battery electric vehicles have been making steady gains in terms of innovation and energy density for long time now. Battery electric has an enormous lead as well as fundamental efficiency advantages.

Until someone comes up with groundbreaking new ways to do electrolysis and hydrogen storage, the fuel cell economy is dead in the water.
The headline is pretty misleading, as the mentioned "best practices" are highly opinionated, as the author also states:

Car maker's attraction for fuel cells is that they neatly replace the internal combustion engine with another large, heavy, hot mechanism that continues to require about the same amount of ongoing maintenance. So the automaker's balance sheet remains about the same but now it's green.

As Musk pointed out some years ago, hydrogen is not so much a fuel as it is an energy storage medium. Right out of the gate creating the hydrogen reduces the system efficiency by about 50% because of the electricity required.

In essence then hydrogen fuel cells are just a less efficient form of electricity that require a complex and expensive mechanism to turn into motive force. Possibly useful for shipping or trains but not the way to bet for cars.

In Denmark we could split water through hydrolyse whenever there is over-production from windmills. This over-production is something that we currently pay our neighbours to receive. In addition the heat produced can be used as district heating, making it less of an issue that it is less efficient to produce hydrogen.

It sure sounds plausible, as much as I dislike it. It's one thing to see startups involved in questionable business practices with their own/new products.

It's a coordination problem. A journal is valuable because having a publication in it confers prestige and impact, which scientists need for jobs and tenure.

Now, if all scientists in a field were to switch to a new journal, they could take the prestige with them, get rid of the rent seeking publisher, and have the same science, prestige, and impact for a fraction of the cost. But if any individual scientists switches, they'd carry the full loss (of foregoing prestige/impact), while achieving no gain. So, you need to have everybody on board simultaneously.

A switch like that can happen [1], but it happens rarely. Often it takes the nestor of a field to get sufficiently pissed off with a journal and persuade everyone to move on. Great example: Don Knuth in 2003 convinced the Editorial Board of the Journal of Algorithms (which he had founded) to resign [2], and start ACM Transactions on Algorithms with a different, lower-priced, not-for-profit publisher. Elsevier kept the old Journal going, but gave up and folded 6 years later. Yay.

Wish that would happen more often. But given that the situation was basically the same 20 years ago, I am not optimistic. What needs to happen to shake the scientific publishing world up??

> you need to keep up to date

This is true for anyone. I've interviewed young people with 5 years experience only to find out they had 5 years experience doing the same thing over and over that they learned in the first 3-6 months on the job.

While the pace of change has slowed down in some software areas in my last 20+ years of working, I never saw it as a field where a person could learn something in school and simply apply it for an entire career. For better or worse, it requires learning outside ones job, or at the very least, constantly moving jobs to keep skillset building.

For me, this has been fine because I've always loved tinkering on the computer. Learning new tech is something I've always done as a hobby as far back as I can remember.

Those going in only thinking programming is an easy way to make money, may struggle later in their career. Though, this is less of the case now as there is so much more older code out there to be maintained.
My understanding from the article is that Hydrogen vehicles will not be competitive with BEVs in terms of cost per mile for the next 10-20 years. The article states:

"An FCEV can drive about 28 miles (45 km) on 1 lb (0.45 kg) of hydrogen"

and

"If the demand for hydrogen increases, the price could drop to around USD 2.50/lb (USD 5.60/kg) by 2030"

Therefore 28 miles will cost 2.5 USD.

However, according to ev-database.uk the most efficient Model 3 uses 235 Wh/mile. If we assume that most EVs will be charged using a cheap EV tariff by 2030 (see https://www.ovoenergy.com/electric-cars/0v0-dr1v3-fl3x-3n3rg...) with a cost per kWh of 0.06 GBP, it will cost 0.39 GBP to drive 28 miles. Even if the most expensive average UK electricity cost for today is used (15.60p - https://www.ukpower.co.uk/home_energy/tariffs-per-unit-kwh), it's still on 1.06 GBP, meaning the price per mile for a BEV today in the UK, is cheaper than a FCEV in 2030.

Have I miscalculated or am I missing something?

Let's say Germany has a decent hydrogen infrastructure. You go on vacation in say Croatia or Spain, you suddenly can't use your car. Every country has electric sockets everywhere so you can charge over night and building fast chargers is trivial compared to storing hydrogen.

Hydrogen sounds useful for commercial vehicles where you can plan routes and stay close to pumps (eg. delivery, bus, etc.) Sounds horrible for personal vehicles.

I can see Japan investing in it - you are unlikely to travel out of country with your car.
This is why I asked the second question. If FINRA has no obligation to enforce its punishments, but doesn't want to deal with the fallout of the same company with the same name and leadership reapplying for membership, then how do they get around that? Force the company to change name, change executives and reapply in 6 months. it all blows over, FINRA gets their membership fees and everybody is none the wiser.

But yes, in an ideal world it wouldn't work this way. who watches the watchmen? If FINRA isn't regulated, then they can do what they like.

> It’s also worth noting that, while cable has various limitations, it was an earlier-deployed technology. So while Spain has closed the gap recently, the US enjoyed a healthy lead over the last decade. (For example in Akamai’s 2015 study, Spain was #30 and the US was #20.)

Spain deployed ADSL back in the late 90s, and had it available in relatively rural areas before major cities (e.g. London) had availability.

Spain started deploying FTTP a few years ago, everywhere, to replace the ageing copper infrastructure.

Spain never really had a large scale cable rollout outside of fortunate areas of a few major cities. For the vast majority, it was copper line services only.

Now ~everyone can get FTTP, and anyone who has that has symmetric services.

There aren't many major applications that benefit from symmetric connectivity as a rule, because the vast majority of the world (including those in Silicon Valley) dont have that capability. The userbase for such applications is relatively tiny.

This is part of why we depend on 'the cloud'. The idea that anyone can host anything depends on decent upload rates. Why couldn't an on-prem equivalent of Dropbox be mainstream if everyone had symmetric connectivity 20 years ago already?

Hydrogen almost certainly won't go anywhere, in my opinion.

* The efficiency compared to battery tech is horrendous.

* Hydrogen is effectively a storage technology -- we have to generate it and compress it. Which combined with the above means that charging a hydrogen car will always be more expensive than putting the same amount of usable energy into a battery powered car.

* Let's not forget that the cheapest way of generating hydrogen is from fossil fuels. Electrolysis is very inefficient.

* Any concern there might exist for the effect on the electrical grid coming battery powered cars multiplies for hydrogen due to the inefficiency.

* You need a large infrastructure to produce and distribute it.

* It's a huge chicken and egg problem -- a hydrogen car needs hydrogen, and there's nowhere convenient right now to get it from.

* In the end, a hydrogen car is ultimately electric. What is more convenient, having a car that can be plugged into an outlet, or a car that needs an extremely specialized hydrogen station?

IMO the only excitement from hydrogen is for fossil fuel companies, because that's what the vast majority of it is made from, and because it'd be a fairly natural fit into their existing infrastructure.

There may be some niches where hydrogen could be the better solution -- hydrogen trucks might be viable because there you can have well defined routes, and trucks have a weight limit which may not play well with batteries. But for normal cars I don't really see it.
