I'm not sure about that. Elon Musk said on the most recent Tesla earnings call that he expects the industry to shift heavily towards LFP over time.

Obviously the cost savings and cobalt avoidance are a significant reason, but LFP has some other advantages. Tesla's LFP Model 3 SR+ actually has slightly more range and faster charging than the NCMA version, at the cost of about 100 kg extra weight. Plus you can charge LFP to 100% every time without having to worry about accelerated battery degradation.

There's no need to invoke conspiracy theories about market manipulation. The Senate needed money for this bill, they saw that probably a lot of folks with crypto holdings are evading taxes, and they wrote this provision to make it easier to collect the taxes. It's poorly written, but the clear intent is for companies like Coinbase to have to file 1099s so the government knows who made how much every year, just like they do with conventional stock brokerages.

Japan has Apple Pay Suica that worked on my US iPhone, Korea required me to keep a physical T-money card at all times.

I love Seoul for it's nightlife/cheaper restaurants, but I can't help but notice that it once tried to be an urban sprawling American city. It's just not as pedestrian friendly as Japanese cities, and I find myself taking more cabs than I would in Tokyo despite the Seoul metro being world class.

The cheonggyecheong stream used to be a disgusting urban highway and I'm sure there are plenty more.

> Having children is expensive and the education stress that follows for over a decade after giving birth is even more straining.

This times 100. The US education system has a lot of flaws, but for the most part, school placement is usually based on geographical location (which comes with its own set of problems), the SAT and ACT are not terribly difficult, and more importantly those college exams can be retaken multiple times a year.

East Asian education is extremely competitive with competition for spots starting as early as pre-K (age 3). Japanese media often shows how students get their grades ranked and posted outside of the classroom. The college exams are more comprehensive than the American ones; the South Korean Suneung is scheduled to take 9 hours. The Suneung (and Chinese gaokao, Japanese Center Test, Singaporean GCE) are only held once a year, so if you want to retest you have to wait the whole year.

And then there is the problem of school bullying: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/metoo-style-reckoning-ove...

> they gain domain knowledge that is specific to that company, and that stuff is incredibly valuable. The wild thing is that it’s only valuable to that one company!

From the engineer point of view, this is a bad deal as the knowledge they get is precisely not transferrable to another company. So staying is a risk (these skills won't even exist elsewhere) and there is a lost opportunity for the employee. They could be at another job, learning actually transferrable skills, thus improving their standing on the market.

Solution: minimize company-specific knowledge, make it easy to grok and not company-specific. To be a bit blunt: your flavour of pile of poo codebase isn't particularly interesting so why should I learn it if compensation doesn't match the missed opportunity?

Excel can connect to a Jet DB, IIRC. If it can connect, it could probably also recognize common patterns and create some common Jet/Access structure to replicate the Excel structure on the fly. Basically, transparently use Access-like structure as the original source.

Proving that your program is consistent is only one of the many benefits that a static type system brings you.

I'd say the main one is that it enables automatic refactorings, which are mathematically impossible to achieve when you don't have type annotations.

Thanks to automatic refactorings, code bases are easier to maintain and evolve, as opposed to dynamically typed languages where developers are often afraid to refactor, and usually end up letting the code rot.

It's also a great way to document your code so that new hires can easily jump on board. It enables great IDE support, and very often, unlocks performance that dynamically typed languages can never match.
I moved to Norway, been living here for about a month now. I haven't see Norwegian money even once. I think I've seen one ATM. Granted a month is not a lot of time, but it's startlingly cashless.

The only annoying thing so far is that my US based Visa card just can't be processed in some places even if Visa is advertised. When I called Chase to see if it was a security thing, they said they didn't even see the charge attempted, and said there are 2 different kinds of credit processing in Europe? I haven't done any research into that yet, though. Overall, I just bring my phone and pay for everything with my iPhone.
I dunno. I'm not gonna browbeat you with more arguments for my risk tolerance if you're not interested in them, but I think you're avoiding looking reality in the face here; there's a lot of people an order of magnitude more risk tolerant than me who wanted to open crowded bars in February or earlier. A policy that expects restrictions will remain in place as Covid deaths fall, but can't offer any explanation for why they should remain in place or when they'll no longer be needed, seems doomed to the same kind of mass defection we saw in mid-2020.

Not sure why I got downvoted; while it's not super well-known, this is a real and potentially feasible idea that has been studied by economists and has had papers written about it. You can absolutely apply tax brackets to sales tax to avoid making it a regressive tax, it's just a little bit more administratively complex.

Why hasn't microsoft or someone taken the basic spreadsheet model to a shared-database scalable one? The UI is basically set at this point.

A naive schema (filename, tab, x, y, value) is what an excel sheet is. It's not like we are dealing with "impedence mismatch" and even shared editing can be reasonably handled with database transactions (or RAFT if you want to get really big/distributed)

I think the lack of this is a sign of Microsoft Office completely owning the space and not wanting to innovate at all. And the huge amount of effort it would take to replicate excel-level operations in a database application server is nontrivial.

But man, you could have an API for doing excel operations against a database schema, and export to excel...

And as you said, you could do lots of schema based options in databases that aren't natural to excel.
Many big companies don't need 90% of their existing engineers so they don't care if most of them leave.

"Lol", "Face it man", you're laser-focused in on a tiny, fairly irrelevant detail of my comment while very ardently ignoring the substantive points. No-one cares what shape the rockets are.

Fwiw the space plane I was referring to above was SS2, not a NASA vehicle. But yes, I agree, it is unlikely to be good for doing "real work in space". Which is the actual substantive point here, irrespective of vehicle shape.

Just to repeat since you seem to have missed it in my comment above: the phallic comment was not, I repeat NOT a literal commentary on rocket design. Yes, good rockets are long and cylindrical. Not what I was referring to.

I have seen several approaches.

1) the producer repo owns it. This has the benefit of only the producer makes those things and it is side by side. Downside if you have more than one producer repo with the same schema. When the producer code starts up it sets up the schema.

2) central repo. This is nice however tends to make it if you are using a micro service style more of pain to deploy as they all sorta need to move together. But works very nicely with mono repos. You can make it work with micro but it takes a bit more thinking. This turns your deploy into a two step process 'schema first' then code. That can work but again 'more thinking'.

3) consumer owned. The consumer basically says 'i will only grab these anything else I will consider error'. Works ok if you have 1 producer group and one consumer group and is effectively #1. But with several consumers it becomes a 'cut and paste job'. Or something may get out of sync, etc. When the consumer starts up it pushes the schema.

What I found best to get someone to decide is to figure out what is your version upgrade cycle. Is it one thing at a time? If it is 'everything goes every time'? Who 'owns the schemas?' So different styles will match your deployment process more than anything.
>No cosmically connected society would even think of talking to us.

I am pretty sure scientists do research that involves laying down and pheromone trails. So, to the extent ants can talk, we have interest in talking to ants. You're making the unfounded assumption that aliens would treat humans like a small and unrepresentative sample (Victorian nobility?) of humans treat other humans.

Although there are many anthills we don't talk to, that is because each anthill of the same species would say the same thing. There is only one human anthill, so that objection does not apply.
> I don't recall any evidence that the murder was intentional.

You're mistaken, but this is a complicated subject and it's entirely reasonable to not know this. I had to look it up at the time to learn it as well.

Chauvin was found guilty and sentenced to 22 years for second-degree unintentional murder, which would be the crime you're aware of, third-degree murder, which is a catch-all for special circumstances that does not ascribe intent, and second-degree manslaughter, which is when you act negligently in a way that you know will cause death.

Ed: oh, it occurs to me that reconciling one charge of unintentional murder and a another of intentional murder when there is only one victim is probably confusing, so just to clarify the way I understand it is that it's two different intentions that both result in death. In the former case, it's like if you were to find out your wife was cheating and you shot her in a crime of passion. In the latter it's like if you set a spring gun.
Why is the popular solution to this problem to increase wages? Shouldn't it be to stop inflating? Inflation is obviously damaging to the livelihood of individuals for the benefit of the State.
This is a very confusing announcement of..... what exactly? A github repo hosting the blog that the announcement was posted on!

There isn't anything of substance here, as far as I can tell. While the whole thing "looks" official and has a very official name, there is nothing of substance there. Some of the text is incoherent, telling us that the author learned some Rust as a break from university (good for him!). Some parts of the text use "we" language, other parts "I" language. But nothing really explains what this is about or why anyone should care, what the actual deliverables of this nebulous "organization" will be, who its participants are (other than blog-author-dude), how much industry support it has, or why this will have any impact. But on the flipside, the mission statement is a clearly defined "We want to do what you want to do" (actual quote from the page), and there is a whole GitHub repo hosting the logo of the project, so clearly this is going places.

> for manipulation purposes like borrowing for shorting

I see this repeated a lot and I'm still not entirely clear why people feel this way. Most major markets in the world have futures/borrow mechanisms, and one of the key reasons is that it allows shorting.

Short selling is a critical element to any healthy market, and we've seen time and time again that markets without well functioning short selling are far more vulnerable than those with (i.e. real estate).

For instance, let's presume that crypto takes off, and business start accepting crypto for contractual obligations. If my future costs are in fiat, but future revenues are in crypto, I have a big mismatch with a very risky asset. A futures market (or shorting) allows me to hedge that risk out and protect myself against future volatility. I can lock in my fiat today, to ensure that I can cover my future costs. Without such a mechanism, I might not be able to risk a collapse in crypto markets.

Mature features (like borrows/futures) in crypto markets should aid in adoption.
Tables are probably the most overlooked feature of Excel.

Why use tables?

* Each column is uniquely named - no more wondering if you are referencing the right cell, no more thinking about "to $ or not to $"

* The table's rows and columns are reliably discovered by pivot tables - no more wondering if the entire dataset is referenced by the pivot

* New columns that are formulas are automatically applied to every row

* Tables have names, so it is easy to understand which table a pivot is referencing

The true, reliable and sane power of excel lies in Tables + Pivots + Charts. If you drive most of the problem solving into those paradigms you will keep hair!

There's plenty of political will for prison reform, even on "the right" (I consider myself a conservative, God forbid) and the state of US prisons is embarrassing

But the Democrats' solution is to defund local PDs, which will leave a vacuum that can be filled by Federal agents that are more loyal to Washington than local cops

Naturally, this "defund the police" message takes the air out of serious criminal justice reform.

If "the Left," was serious about reforming our prisons, step one would be legalizing marijuana and everybody knows it.

Schumer keeps saying they're going to do it this session but instead the Democrats are pushing through huge spending bills and arguing over which unarmed rioter proves the Reichstag Fire, er, I mean, 1/6 "Insurrection," justifies their rhetoric and attempts to federalize elections

So yeah, actually, despite my argumentative tone I think I agree with everything you said and this is just additional context

I've been a woman in this field for 30-odd years and I'm surprised at the stories coming out. The harassment that I've known of happen 'behind closed doors' with senior leaders - terrible and inexcusable but nothing like the relentless frat-boy behavior described at Blizzard. I've been on teams which would make HR's hair stand on end but even on those the insults flew in all directions, I never felt picked out for my gender.

It's clear that at Blizzard there was a culture of harassment which was effectively bullying. I wouldn't' be surprised to find that men who didn't participate were picked on too. I don't think that changes when a few heads roll at the top. I don't know how to change that honestly.
