Right for the slow chargers, I hadn't thought this was what the GP meant.

In any case the DCFC definitely don't step up 350KW of power from 120 to 800V, as that would defeat the whole purpose of using a higher voltage.
No, product vs customer.

YouTube has a product they sell, advertising slots embedded in videos. YouTube's customer is the person buying the ad slot. The video and uploader are, in a tortured analogy I didn't choose about YouTube being a small store, the product that YouTube sells to their actual customer, the advertiser.

Bringing up whitelists and blacklists doesn't change that.

There is no law that says every project must succeed.

Edison was supposed to have said something along the lines of "Keep on experimenting and do not hope for success" - keep doing/trying something but don't be disappointed if it doesn't work.

Failure is also success. We've learned what doesn't work.
I would avoid going straight to damage as a source. I personally am very uncomfortable with some kinds of emotional expression and as a result it's difficult for me to reach out to make small talk. I wouldn't say my upbringing was in any way abusive either - I've lived a quite privileged life. Neurodiversity is I think also a thing you need to take into consideration on this topic.

"It is not known when or where the smelting of iron from ores began, but by the end of the 2nd millennium BC iron was being produced from iron ores from at least Greece to India"

...

"The place and time for the discovery of iron smelting is not known, partly because of the difficulty of distinguishing metal extracted from nickel-containing ores from hot-worked meteoritic iron.[2] The archaeological evidence seems to point to the Middle East area, during the Bronze Age in the 3rd millennium BC. "

Even the source you linked mentions actual smelting as early as 900BCE. Just because it wasn't the most common method doesn't mean it wasn't known or possible.
Like with gambling devices, redemption games all seem to have operator-adjustable payout.

I recall playing "Stacker" for a little while in the 2000's. It used an LED dot display for gameplay, which was a simple timing game where you "built" a tower by stacking up the blocks, with it getting faster at each level.

What it did was exactly as you describe: it had a minor reward level that you could always win, and then a few levels above that where the game would cheat and instantly warp the block ahead to make you lose. I did get a win out of it once(and got an iPod mini), so I think I did come out ahead, but that was it.

Overall, it's better to be good at pinball(replay scores) or DDR(adoration of strangers).
It was always said technology is invented and perfected overseas in war against combatants and then brought home and turned inwards.

This is just one more example.
Our culture offers very little in the way of making life meaningful, especially for those who suffer. I don't diminish the suffering of the people who's life no longer feels worth it. In fact, many people's lives are truly unhappy. But an unhappy life can still be a meaningful one.

Further I would argue the antihuman sentiment offer by your argument that giving life is selfish only further contributes to the problem.
I think probably it's better to think of this as 'reasonable effectiveness'.

Unreasonable effectiveness would be better communicated with a success metric that isn't also highly dependant on luck.

Wobbling' moon will cause devastating worldwide flooding in 2030s, NASA warns
> A big part is likely just normalizing that it is okay not to have kids

Maybe, but I'm hesitant to say that's a solution, because it implies that we can or should offset the problem (as much as we can assume there is one) by asking some people to have no kids while others continue to have many. It's not a bad thing to do, but it's not really a solution.

> There is also significant government incentive for a population to grow both for the economy and for retirement programs like Social Security.

To some degree, this is a chicken and egg and/or catch-22 problem. Our economy is based on growth, because growth was seen as inevitable, and since our economy is based on growth, we incentivize growth. That works until growth becomes constrained, and then it doesn't. Whether from outside or inside forces, understanding and possible moving towards an economy that is less coupled to growth is an important thing for us to study for the future (even if it only helps us understand our current economy better in the end).

> I do think the best thing we can do is live by example. We can choose not to have kids.

That's not the correct example. If everyone followed the example, the human race would cease to exist. Leading by example should be leading by what we expect people to do. That means leading by some people not having kids, and some people having a sustainable amount. That's not exactly different than it looks like right now if you consider some people to be leading by example, and it doesn't seem to actually do much (but population growth greatly falls off with industrialization and coming out of poverty, so maybe it does?)
But the void isn't peace or existence - it's just nothingness. You are able to, at least, helplessly curse the world you see in front of you - without life there is absolutely nothing, there is no you to contemplate the changes or appreciate the peace of not living through them.

Well, I was exposed to a new idea today.

It looks like the concept here is similar to me observing that the average number of hairs on a human head is about 1e5. Also, the average number of meals a human consumes in their lifetime is about 1e5. Conclusion: we can fix hair loss if we have people eat more meals on average.

In seriousness though, the idea of "physical constants" not being actually constant is fascinating. I think the only sci fi book that I've read that explored this much was Carl Sagan's Contact, but it's an idea that must have been used in other sci fi. The implications of what might happen if you can change physical constants is the sort of thing sci fi is made from.

As for the calculations you put in the colab... Based on wikipedia Large Number Hypothesis is focused on unit-less measurements. That is, no kilograms, meters, or other "arbitrary" measurements. The number you found that was close to the Hubble Constant has units (meters, grams, and seconds). You could argue that when scientists of ye yester-year made up those units, they started with the Hubble Constant and worked backwards so they had measurements that produced the proper phenomenon. Of course they didn't, but since they could have, it's hard to see this as anything but a coincidence.
This is also really common in New England in the US. I have no idea why, though.
I assume it's mostly Devices and Servers. You probably visit the HTTPS site for Big Electronics Co. but your Big Electronics Co. "smart" television uses HTTP for the same reason it added a slow, clunky "Welcome" page with video adverts - you are a victim not a customer.

The type of server software developer who years ago searched Stack Overflow for how to "fix" the problem of certificate errors, now just uses the plaintext HTTP calls where possible, and thus avoids needing to "fix" the problem by not having any security.

And there's a bunch of completely automated stuff that genuinely does need plaintext HTTP on purpose. OCSP requests, for example, are plaintext HTTP. When you realise what they're for this is obvious, if I need an OCSP check to do HTTPS, but I need HTTPS to do an OCSP check, then I have infinite recursion.
This requires a level of expertise that is not available at most small businesses. Going around to each machine with a flash drive is not practical either, especially since this is not a one time thing (because machines die and are replaced).
Different messages doesn't matter if people are just clicking through no matter what the message.

Even people who should know better. Even with other protocols like how SSH should work. We have clients who send us PPI and other data via SFTP. They do much to make themselves look paranoid: insisting on whitelisting source addresses, in some cases mandating PGP, insisting we pass certain audit requirements including things they may unilaterally make up in future, etc. But do they actually care enough to follow procedures and verify things before clicking through (or hitting the "Y" key)? No. How can I be so sure? I gave out the wrong host key fingerprint for a while (accidentally, I sent a dev/test host's fingerprint instead of the production one's identity) and no one came back to say "hey, this doesn't match, we can't proceed, could you look into why the target host identity doesn't match ASAP?" before I noticed my error.

If supposedly paranoid data management and security professionals are not Doing It Right and are just clicking through no matter what, you can bet your arse & mine that pretty much the rest of the world isn't doing things right, and probably never will, either.

Saudi Arabia has 60,000 slaves [0]. Their society is about 150 years behind the developed world. Once the world moves past fossil fuels, I expect Saudi Arabia to degenerate back into poverty. Their leaders are too ignorant or selfish to invest the country's wealth for long-term prosperity.

Saudi Arabia could become a well-functioning oligarchy like Singapore. Unfortunately, the Saudi government has only offered investment and cheap office space and done little else.

They should invest in:

1. Education for Saudi people: scholarships to study abroad, funding to open branches of foreign universities in Saudi Arabia, funding for many new international primary & secondary schools.

2. Brain drain: Education & scholarships for foreigners, good immigration processes with paths to citizenship, and equal rights for immigrants.

3. Healthy environment for business: Effective & fair legal system, good work visa processes, and effective worker protections.

USA (my country) protects and supports the corrupt Saudi government. Therefore, USA bears some of the blame for the squandering of Saudi Arabia's natural resources. Many Saudi people, including the late Osama bin Laden, hate USA for this.

Something New Is Coming
My wife won a Nintendo DS on one (when they were new) on a cruise ship, we were absolutely convinced nobody ever won anything on them, but it's still fun to give it a shot... no different to casinos or any other gambling. That's the only time I've ever heard of anyone winning /anything/ on those games though.

In Japan the machines pay out a lot more often due to the strict laws against gambling, but the prizes are a lot smaller. You'll put ~$2 in and get a soft toy that probably cost 50c to make, but it still makes it feel a lot more fun than trying/failing to win bigger prizes.

It can really come down to a business case. What are the chances or risk of a virus or ransomware occurring? And what are the potential costs and challenges of dealing with that? If I can reduce my exposure to information, legal and operational risk, which is hard to directly quantify and yet is ever-present, plus some anticipated reduction in operating expenses, it can start to look good for a large portion of businesses with office operations.
Research titled "surprising effectiveness" should quantify the surprise, not just the effect.
Yeah, you basically got it, don't use cheap PSUs (most cheap pre-builts are cheap PSUs) and if you do use a cheap PSU, expect something to explode/fizz out the more time passes.

I expect the average life expectancy of cheap OEM PSUs to be around 2-3 years. After that, you're on shaky ground.

You can likely extend the life of your electronics by keeping them constantly cool, and as dust/lint/pet hair free as possible (do yearly vacuum, use compressed air). This also greatly reduces the amount of combustibles in your electronics, meaning if something does overheat and die, there's nothing to burn.

As far as predicting it aside from it's lifespan, if you smell anything awkward, hear any funny noises, or notice any odd hardware behavior (blue screens, crashes, instability, etc) but especially "sudden shutdown and power-offs" then you know something is wrong. Just like if you suddenly get constant headaches, don't ignore it.
What's more surprising (I would say, crazy) is that anyone expects more. Nobody works at their top level for more than 2-3 hours a day. Maaaaaybe 3-4 tops. Doesn't mean you can't be productive for many more hours, but you are not gonna be able to work effectively on tasks that are anywhere near the limit of your ability. You just can't and nobody does it....not athletes, not artists, not writers, not philosophers, not mathematicians, ..- not anyone doing hard creative work

Also, for anyone doing that kind of work, things like walking around and socializing is both vitally recuperative and indirectly productive in its own right

> I'm going to say something controversial. Not everyone is grateful for their life. I've talked to multiple people who preferred to never be born. And event the best parents I know couldn't offer much more honest reason for having children than "we wanted to" which is basically ultimate selfishness.

> > [...] and being decent at being parents as well.

> That's way more universally good reason for treating your parents well.

I can verify this. I very much wish I wasn't tasked with being alive. Depending on your metaphysical beliefs, I feel like I'm wasting another soul's place in the world. I don't want to be here, maybe if another soul was in this body then it would put it to better use and be happy and fulfilled and desire this life. I have people who want me to be here and for their sake I continue onwards, always wondering why, and always wishing I didn't have to. I used to make the mistake of thinking I could confide in them these feelings I have, but eventually I realized that I cannot. Rather, I should not. My parents wanted to be parents, and they began preparing for me as soon as they found out I was on my way. They kept me from falling off of tall things or licking wall sockets or drinking cleaning fluid as a baby. No matter how you word it, there's no way to explain that you don't want to exist that doesn't tell a parent "everything you defined yourself by for the last few decades is a farce, the thing that you made doesn't want to exist." I am not grateful my parents made me, but I don't hate them so much as to want to hurt them by telling them that.

As a proportion of Earth’s water it is ‘tiny drops.’

As a metaphor it is reasonable as ‘tiny drops’ is not a scientific unit. And a boulder is any non-monolith greater than 256mm…seventy feet is not particularly large in a scientific sense just in an ordinary tourist talk one.

Four common mistakes founders make when validating product ideas
It was though? Ford put the fuel tank in the crumple zone between the bumper and axle to maximize interior space. It was found to leak gasoline after a rear impact in every crash test they conducted before recalling it to modify the design.

It was by no means the most dangerous vehicle on sale in its time—that was probably the Volkswagen Beetle—but it was absolutely more likely to catch fire in a collision than pretty much anything else on the road that wasn't a literal fuel delivery truck.

So no, it wasn't necessarily going to kill you in a collision, but if it did, it was a lot more likely to be with fire.
Having said that, I find those round door knobs (as prevalent in the US) terrible though:

a) hard to operate when you carry something or have dirty/wet/greasy hands, as you have to hold it tight and twist.

a') hard to operate for people with arthritis, children, etc.

a'') knobs seem optimised to spread germs as efficiently as possible.

A door handle/lever (like in Europe) you can push open with your elbow, or the back of the hand, or anything really.

b) with the design that uses a push button to lock, you cannot check whether the door is actually locked, because attempting to do so is exactly what unlocks the door.

With a separate locking mechanism, you can lock and then confirm that the door is locked.

But, yeah, UK appliances are remarkably bad (or, at least, were, when I was there decades ago).

This is a great comment. My story isn't nearly as bad as this. I just happened to be born the son of an asshole. I really don't take responsibility for this or his behaviour - but I was brought up being made to believe it was my fault.

I recently received a torrent of abuse via WhatsApp from him after a relatively minor disagreement on a news story I wasn't interested in (Harry and Meghan). It happened just as I started a week on-call as the most senior clinician, and I found I couldn't concentrate because of the things that he said echoing in my mind. Stuff that referred to things when I was less than half my current age, and hugely hurtful.

Why should I allow this in my life? An I risking the things I'm responsible for by doing this? My wife has pointed out I'm in a foul mood if I've been arguing with him about something. Is that fair on my wife and children?
