There is no consensus I can think of. Reducing emissions seems obvious, but most industries and transport vehicles depend on burning fossil fuels. Governments should push for reduction of emission limits in industries and taxing at the border to foreign companies or countries that do not comply with some "enviromental care level", "waste per capita threshold" or "polution prevent level" or something like that [1][2].

What I'd also advice all "normal" citizens is to take their part in slowing the global warming by doing simple actions like:

- Recycling cardboard/crystal/plastics/metal.

- Buying local produce.

- Buying second hand stuff: books, clothes, etc.

- Buying hybrid cars, and when there was enough electric-stations, electric cars.

- Installing solar panels in your house.

- Improving the insulation of your house.

AMD APU
CPU: Zen 2 4c/8t, 2.4-3.5GHz (up to 448 GFlops FP32)
GPU: 8 RDNA 2 CUs, 1.0-1.6GHz (up to 1.6 TFlops FP32)

and 5 screenshots with Control by Remedy, game that runs at ~10fps on PS4. PS4 has faster GPU than listed here ...

BTW Somehow Sony didnt delist Control from PS store despite performance problems, their official reason for delisting Cyberpunk :)

Edit: IGN "hands on, but not really hands on" https://www.ign.com/articles/steam-deck-hands-on-impressions... Once again Control by Remedy in EVERY fricking shot of the screen. Even the shot where Valve employee is "casually" sitting with the Deck on his lap, the screen is facing the camera and you can see Control right there :D And the mystery is solved, Control is playable in mid to low settings at 800p with Ray Tracing turned off, something you cant do on PS4.
For me, the problem with anonymous identities online is that laws (at least in the US) surrounding defamation and other ways to regulate human interaction seem based on a real identity. Without that, I'm not sure how those and similar laws can be enforced on the internet.

One could argue that they shouldn't be and that's maybe a separate conversation, but for example, right now, if someone defames me in person, I can sue them and if they defame me on the internet under anonymity, and I don't think I can (yes they can be anonymous in person but I think it's much more difficult).
How is Switch emulation, these days?

Do any major Switch emulators natively support JoyCons the way Dolphin does WiiMotes? (Do JoyCons even use regular ol' Bluetooth the way the WiiMotes do? EDIT: quick Google says yes :) )
No, you don't. What you see are the few people who are willing to make compromises to practicality that the majority of people are not. I would not buy a first gen Nissan Leaf with shitty range and neither would most people.
It's 7" 1280x800 that's more than required.
They take a bigger cut then most other digital store fronts and they have a history of using the loyalty of fans to do unpaid work such as translations and perform the majority of moderation on Steam.
Yeah I love NixOS, but for something like this it'd probably be a mistake.
She's a state senator which means entirely local to Arizona. So this opinion means very little. Further, the election was already called, it's official, even if there was a mistake it woldn't be un-done. Changing arizona wouldn't even change the results of the election.

So we can see this is just performative for her constiuents.
> With fixed fee pricing we are seen by regulators as a Software provider rather than a trading platform

Is this a well established rule? I had a few startup ideas related to fintech, and this would be a very interesting change in the value proposition.
Call it what you want, the outcome is the same. You want to say [A], but before you say it, you have to start with [B] just not to get the conversation derailed by call-it-what-you-wants. And it turns out, the call-it-what-you-wants are still going to do their thing, pretending this is Reddit.
The deeper physics goes, the more apparent it is that our perception of reality is a good model for what is happening at our scale in the universe and the forces that are dominant at that scale. Our intuition breaks down at larger and smaller scales, but the math still works. So in some sense, math is the truest access we have to reality.
Falcon Heavy runs Merlin engines (Falcon heavy is three falcon 9's strapped together). Starship and Super Heavy booster are running Raptor methalox engines which by fuel choice alone has never been done before on an orbital rocket. The Raptor engines have failed to re-start during the landing sequence but I'm not sure we've seen enough of them to attest to any failure rate yet. The issue with restarting had to do with liquid methane sloshing in the nose cone.
Great point! We are working on this integration this sprint and will have it on staging by end of day tomorrow. Hoping to deploy next week! :)
Absolutely not. Get a business planner / financial adviser ideally from a reputable bank to review your business plan. They will ask you the right questions. Incorporate your business and keep all funds separate from your personal funds in accounts tied to your business. Get to know other entrepreneurs and network with people. If people believe in your plan they will invest in it. Investors will determine if your plans have acceptable risks.

Surely. I just mean that the US military is in a position to choose how their stuff is repaired, while I can't force Apple to sell me spare parts or whatever.
My grandmother grew up sharing a bed with her 5 siblings (3 vertical, 2 at the foot) and she is always quick to tell you how much she has enjoyed her life.

The idea that kids need their own bedroom is extremely modern. There’s no reputable science behind it.
Neuroprosthesis for Decoding Speech in a Paralyzed Person with Anarthria
This is a excellent write-up. I'm really impressed how quick it was to whip up a UI for manual solving.

I would argue however that Rust counts as a functional programming language, however. Algebraic data types, higher-order programming and immutability are all idiomatic features of the language.
My long-view prediction for UBI is that when faced with the rising cost of goods coupled with rising inflation from increasing payouts, UBI will eventually move from pure monetary payments to reduced monetary payments and vouchers for specific items, and then ultimately, rations.

My reasoning is that if the UBI collection and payout system cannot keep up with the market, the next logical step for the government is to nationalize the production and issue goods accordingly.

Edit: Let's say a pack of toilet paper goes from $10 to $20 due to inflation and the manufacturer raising prices because they are forced to pay workers higher wages (let's assume working in a toilet paper factory is terrible work and you could just live on UBI instead of working in a paper mill), and because the corporation also has to pay higher taxes to support UBI. The government can increase the UBI payout to make up for this - in the short term at least. But the price will continue to rise because the money has to come from somewhere and if you just print it inflation speeds up. But what if you get around this problem by issuing vouchers for toilet paper rather than issuing dollars that can be used on toilet paper? You solve the inflation problem as 1 roll = 1 roll. You can even lower each UBI payout because now you don't need to factor in the TP expense. This same thinking can be applied to other goods.
> UBI only works when it's 1) Universal (even to rich people) and 2) When it's funded by dismantling some/all of the existing welfare state.

This is key. To go even further (at the risk of being a little political) The best way I heard UBI described (by economically conservative individuals in support of it) was that it was simply a readjustment of tax brackets so that lower incomes end up paying a negative tax [receiving money]. While not perfectly mathematically correct, it's an analogy. And it's important to keep that analogy in mind, because if UBI were to hypothetically be implemented in the US, it would simply be withheld accordingly by the employer as income taxes in higher paying jobs where such taxes would cancel out UBI money.

I have found that my friends who are unfamiliar with UBI tend to respond better to the idea of "_negative taxes_ for lower income earners" than "Universal [welfare]/Basic Income"

To be clear, I'm not trying to advocate for or against UBI, I'm simply trying to explain the idea from a different perspective.
I think it's called "The Ridiculous Fish Theorem."

+1... I lost two games in a row, both times on 91.
Surely not all science. Just as well Dirac wasn't required to communicate that way the equation that fundamentally underlies the phenomenon discussed, and you couldn't put the unique facility my thesis work pioneered into git! I do highly approve of publishing software and data where possible, of course, since before Free Software needed to be coined, and it's much easier now.
how old were the systems? And have you ever had to maintain systems that were that many years old that weren't a nightmare to maintain and cost a fortune to fix?
Apparently its cheaper than cost of infrastructure that would allow properly implementing server side checks, like validating if the player supplied entity data is within possible parameter limits aka why the fuck is this dude flying all over the map and server letting him do that?!?!?!
As someone with socialistic world views who knows how much those world views would have hurt corporations, don't you wonder how come all the corporations still promote "left" democratic politicians?

Maybe one day you'll realize all there is too find in the left side is corrupt politicians which, powered by the media, send all those who would have normally oppose them on irrelevant wild goose chases of identity politics?

Don't you wonder how come Bernie keeps on losing the primaries every time, even against Biden which came in 5th place in the Iowa primaries?

You need to wake up and realize what matters isn't whether a politician is left or right, but whether he's corrupt or not. All you needed to know who's more corrupt, Biden or Trump, you could see from who were the major donors. By the way, as corruption grows, it's more likely that the media is sided with the corrupt side. So it's better picking whoever the media hates.
Awesome. My colleague just bought one of them on the used market. They flip around the second hand market for the price of a couple or four cases of beer
> often means being able to call the correct compromises to make

The fact that you redefined “clean solution” as “correct compromises” doesn’t say much unfortunately.
It sounds like a practical choice. "What's a malleable sort of distro we can start with that will be easy to shape into the OS we need?" Apparently the answer turned out to be Arch.

So yeah, not exactly an exciting story, more like a practical solution.
Hm not sure how well established as a rule this is - we got this advice from a fintech-proficient lawyer though
> ”The problem with all these feel good social programs is that the proponents always assume that everyone will behave properly and follow the rules as intended. They never account for the 10-20% of people who just want to game the system and ultimately cause its downfall.”

No social program in the world ever accounted for fraud, and every one of them has suffered a terrifying downfall. Where once prospered the Kingdom of Sweden now only a barren crater remains, laid to waste by naive social programs.
I'm guessing the NVME is soldered into place. But with a full usb-c port you should be able to add fast enough storage.

Keyboard short cuts would make it a bit better.
The screen is 720p, not 1080p which is probably what the PS4 was rendering. Also worth noting the GPU architecture is newer, so a straight clockspeed or Flops comparison might not tell the whole story.
> Reminds me of how one day, I think in SF, I was trying to go around without reading things and just realized there are so many things shouting at me with words, especially billboards and other forms of public advertising. I would love to even have a city here in the US experiment with something like this.

I'm in the exact same position, I'd love to see a large-scale experiment to determine the economic and psychological impact of removing public advertising, or at least reducing it to a more "comfortable" level, whatever that may be. The Canadian government experimented a bit with universal basic income in the 70s, and more again recently with COVID, so perhaps they'd be willing to give this a shot as well.

> I would, too, especially as a consumer, and yet, as a producer, I wonder how annoyed I would be without ads. Maybe there's a balance, and I believe needs to be have more consumer voice, and less producer voice.

Another concern/shortcoming I forgot to address above is what companies will do to get their products out there; will advertising take a more subtle, perverse tone if they're not allowed billboards and banner ads? Perhaps a middle-ground will stop a more covert extreme from appearing. Perhaps I'm falling for the middle ground fallacy.

Why wouldn't this have much value to pharma? Is it because its application is actually really limited in scope?
Let's say that you think highly of Ivan, who works at FooCo as a C++ developer.

When Ivan starts recommending Paula for her C++ skills, and Paula used to work at Bar, LLC where Ivan used to work, you can trust that to a certain extent.

When Ivan recommends Istvan for his Haskell skills, and they've never worked together, Ivan's recommendation might be worth less (he's doing a favor for a friend) or worth more (Ivan is recommending the leader of a local Haskell User Group.)

When Ivan recommend Maura for C++ skills, and Maura works at FooCo, that could mean:

Ivan sees Maura as a threat or an irritation and would like her to go elsewhere - low value

Ivan is getting ready to leave FooCo and is pre-emptively arranging exits for people he likes - medium value

Ivan is getting ready to leave FooCo and is trying to do as much damage as possible on the way out - high value

Ivan sees that FooCo doesn't have a place for Maura to grow and wants her to thrive - high value

People are complex.
A little bit of everything. No one knows if this will work because I don't have customers, and it looks like a feature and I can't explain that it will be more than this single product, investors are getting lost. It's impossible to make this startup without a weird path. It's going to be an API in the end, but at the same time I have to show what products are possible to make with it, most think this API is not needed and won't let me put a library in their products, but if you'd talk to potential end customers for these products - they really want it (and I sold multiple products like these). It's a totally weird scheme, so I only pitch the b2c product and then if they are interested tell about this API thing and the vision.

Market is just above 4B$ and is growing well, but it's not like everyone in the world needs this thing.

I have no startup experience, not an amazing dev (barely made an mvp) , never attended Stanford and live in a third world country, so I don't even have connections and rely on highly personalized cold emails.
To fix this a deliberate decision has to be made to change the force structure to build more technicians and unfortunately people like that don't want to take the pay and lifestyle cut so we just can't fill out the ranks.

I'm doubtful that it's impossible to train some number of existing personnel to do basic repairs - especially the repairs involving simply replacing a part, as described in the article.

The original bureaucratic logic you're criticizing seems bad. But it seems like you're using a similar sort of reasoning to claim things are all or nothing.
Drawing solar from states to the east would only make the duck curve worse though, right? Power production would taper off even earlier than the peak demand.
A competitive game without the typical flood of cheaters sells much better, because hacks and bots can really destroy your experience as a player.
Or they have a story far more complicated than what have you have reduced them to being. Just attempting to manage the pandemic in the US has demonstrated how complicated and contradictory people turn out to be. But I do agree that pamphlets about BMI aren't likely to change their outlook. They each need their own personalized moments of clarity about their path and it's not all a sure thing they ever have theirs.

But also, a few people are obese because they are on steroids or they have some genetic issue independent of their choices in life. They are not the norm, but they'll get lumped in with the norm and that's offensive and improper. That said, if FB found out their userbase is unusually obese compared to the rest of a country's citizens, that informs them they have a potential moral hazard in their hands.

But if you're deeply offended at such telemetry, maybe consider no using Facebook. You'll be fine without it. I personally make sure to post ridiculous and contradictory responses to the insipidly and horribly targeted ads they push into my feed. Some of them have gotten me suspended for violating their "community standards" that IMO would not get me suspended anywhere else.
No doubt Google will come up with a way for search engines to authenticate to the sites they are spidering, which will be just "Open" enough that all their competitors can implement it for free (but not have any control over the evolution of the technology).

Sites would just have to decide which search engines they want to allow to spider them, which will probably be a hardcoded list in a webserver config file somewhere, with the associated public keys.

If we're lucky, webserver package maintainers will try to keep these lists up to date, and Google may even contribute some funds for the development effort, doing just enough to stop this system from triggering an anti-trust investigation.
There's something I really don't understand about emojis. I see why representing a face alongside some written text can be very useful to convey facial expressions. For example, I often use the upside down smile to convey a bit of irony and scarcasm. What I don't understand is, why objects? We already have words to describe that.

Before emojis, I remember the smileys. They were almost all about facial expressions (aside from, of course, the ASCII genitals). Speaking about genitals, I fear that emojis are painting a very weird and incomplete picture of the world. The "food & drinks" emojis seem to be describing a very urban-american-centric way of seeing the world. We have the taco and the burrito, the falafel, the takeout box, the sushi, but just a "cheese wedge", and the only pasta are spaghettis. There's a birthday cake, a shortcake, a cupcake that all look professionally made, but there's no "regular cake", the kind you would bake at home. That's not the reality I live in.

Up until now I always saw unicode as a fundamental way to celebrate the diversity of how humans beings express themselves. Object emojis seems to achieve exactly the opposite.
Not sure I agree. I feel like the majority of AAA PC games are designed for console first and work well with gamepads. At least the ones I play. It’s also just more relaxing since you can lean back.
Have you considered raising some capital from existing or potential customers (maybe some who want some specific functionality)? I’ve seen mixed success in my SMB B2B SaaS niche.
Parroting jimkleiber, I like the distinction between advertising in public and private spaces, although I suppose it would be a matter of being adamant that anywhere that isn't in a private building, isn't private space.

> There's not that much physical world advertising in my part of Europe (e.g. almost no road side banners at all), but I still despise how we've sold bus stops and metro walls to the highest bidder

I lived in Germany for a few months and was shocked to see advertisements for cigarettes on the sides of the local buses. I suppose this will be changing in 2022, so a good first step [0].

No!

My recommendation would actually be to double-down on the house and pay off any mortgage you may have on it. Once you have a paid-off house, you have basically infinite runway for playing around with startups.

I think this is slightly reductive. The majority of your business logic, I agree, should reside in application code, but lightweight business logic in the form of database constraints are powerful at disallowing bad data. For example, you may have a rental booking application that shouldn't have overlapping date ranges. The database can give you this guarantee out of the box and will work for ALL clients and applications.
It was too confusing for me to craft a clear story.
The only exciting thing is the form factor. Spec wise its an underperforming laptop with integrated graphics delivering below 8 year old GTX 760 level of "performance".

It's not a problem of bandwidth, it's a problem of latency. What a client sees at any point in time is actually a client-side prediction.

If this wasn't the case, and the server wouldn't send player positions until they were actually visible, players would pop out of thin air when turning corners or crossing doorways.

This leads to a different kind of disadvantage called "peeker's advantage", where the peeking player shows up later at the peeked player's screen... but this is generally accepted as a tradeoff. Players like their object persistence apparently :)

Latency isn't getting any better soon, and there will always be an impassable limit on link latency due to distance.
if you look at a map with all the military bases in the region, the US has (well had) Iran surrounded. Iraq and Afghanistan were the final two pieces.

I don't understand why we're so antagonistic towards Iran? Some corps still mad that their assets there got seized during the Iran revolution?
