This kind of thing can bite you even when operating purely on integers. E.g., for a long time (it's been fixed for over a dozen years by now though), Python implemented x%n with an intermediate cast to float, with predictably bad results on inputs larger than typical test cases. I had the damnedest time tracking down the culprit since I assumed it had to be serialization, hashing, or one of the standard culprits --- not that integer math was broken.
The thing that gets me about #1 is that if I prefer iOS to Android, there is nothing that can replace iCloud. Google Photos and other apps cannot upload seamlessly in the background as iCloud can. I cannot “restore my iPhone” from a Google Drive backup. Apple uses private APIs for their own software to enable this, so now I must either use iCloud and accept these terms, or make iTunes backups regularly + deal with the inconvenient workarounds required to let things like Google Photos sync everything.

Given that there are two realistic choices in mobile OS these days, both bound to hardware (and update schedules to a combination of mfg + carrier whim), it’s not a great position to be in as a consumer. And yet, what is the alternative? PinePhone?

While true for many/most PhDs going the academic route, I somehow don't think this held true for Yann LeCun. None of this answers the question of "Why FB?" - he could easily make a slightly smaller boatload of money if he chose to go somewhere else.

What surprises me the most about the US withdrawing is that Biden didn't remember what happened when the US left Iraq when he was VP. Military commentators were almost universally saying withdrawing was a bad idea, especially with how few US resources were in Afghanistan.
One other thing about VSCode being an Electron app -- it is by far the snappiest and most responsive and least bad memory-wise Electron app I've used. This isn't like Slack or Discord. It's like magic what they've built on Electron, one of these days I'll dig into the code to see how they did it.

Sometimes, but most natural gas actually comes from gas wells that produce very little oil.

Apple is scanning your own _personal_ storage for illegal content. It wouldn't be there in the first place, unless you put it there.
dplyr is nice, but the fact there is an entire company writing packages to get around R's inconsistent standard library might be a bit of a hint. Also, as soon as you stray away from dataframes R is completely lost.
Its likely because bringing a smelter and wire drawing machine don’t feel “space age”. Also most people think of small bases where its not cost effective to bring a bunch of manufacturing capacity as quite a few processes don’t scale down well. Mining is another issue as you would need to find good sources of each major metal within transportable distance of your base.

With the current capital cost of ~$50/W to beam power, its reasonable to think about for small endeavors, but for a base designed for 100k people making power lines onsite is better, as you will need that manufacturing capacity for other things anyway.
I like how this book makes the justification for just fixing it yourself.

Is a real pain - I live in an area of New York City where there is exactly one internet provider and they raise my bill by $5.99 every 4-6 months (slowed down a bit during pandemic). When I “cut the cord” my cable bill dropped from $160/m to $30/m but is now back to $80/m.
My first thought was that the US in particular suffers from the same disease. It's a highly individual-focused culture that tends to credit people with their successes and blame them for their failures. Criminal justice reform, or harm reduction for drug users, is fiercely opposed on the grounds that it's their fault they got into that situation. A persistent fiction is that if only the right individual becomes President, everything will be fixed. Systems level thinking is unpopular.

As for tyrant-resistance, I would go so far as to say that the US just had a tyranny stress test, and the results were deeply concerning.
Drag and drop isn't really a window management feature, right? It's a kind of uniform IPC for GUI apps, mostly a way to talk about files and clipboard contents (temporary files, I guess). At any rate, it has nothing to do with the display server.

That said, I do agree that I would generally expect even older Apple codebases to be less crufty than stuff like Xorg. Apple rips out legacy APIs and rewrites things pretty ruthlessly on basically every macOS release.
Apparently McMurdo Station needs 7000 tons of assorted supplies each year. Assuming Moon Base runs on a similar scale, that's an initial annual budget of $7bn just for the shipping.

This assumes air and water are solved problems and don't need to be shipped.

Note that oxygen != air. 100% oxygen atmospheres are not a good idea for extended stays.

Nitrogen is not common on the Moon. Nor is carbon (for filtering or other organic applications.)

It's not easy to imagine a lunar base generating >$7bn of returns every year. Apart from space tourism, there isn't a whole lot you can do/build/sell on a moon base that has more value on Earth than it would cost to transport back here.

Of course you could argue Science, and that's fair enough. But literally all the commercial arguments I've seen have been "Something will no doubt appear" - which is possibly not going to win over rational investors.
A closer comparison would be a machine opening your mail, scanning the contents, then using the same perceptual “hash” with an unknown database of “hashes”

Peace is not always the success of war.

War is not the only path to peace.

Failure of war is not always anarchism and more war.

These are all possible outcomes, and some may be more likely than others, but rarely is the outcome a thing that can be described simply as “success”.
Almost certainly. Even calling the reproducing female 'queen' betrays a hierarchical sensibility that social insects almost certainly do not have. See Metaphors We Live By by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson.

Probably, as other commenters have said, a mix of behind-the-scenes political pressure to give feds access to phone data for people they’re interested in and an effort to get them to back down on anti-trust and other things that governments are realizing they can milk tech companies for more money on.
Different languages have different rules around some math operators, notably around order of operations and how % and / handle floating point values. There are much simpler expressions that will yield differences.

That's a good question. I had to learn this lesson through experience -- that doctors rarely solved anything, while self-study and exercise worked miracles. But I was 35 before I really got beyond "Well, I went to the doctor, nothing else I can do."
You must also pass the medical screening, which prohibits a laundry list of common medications:

- anxiety medications

That doesn’t work. Poor people have more children, negating any savings, and as we agree it’s politically a non-starter.

It’s also hypocritical. “Could you do us a favor and stay poor to help solve this problem we mostly created?” That will get a big “fuck you.”

I am curious about the statistics you’re quoting. If 90% of power is electricity they are probably counting petrol cars and possibly the embodied energy in products manufactured abroad. It shows why the entire energy system must be converted and it must be global. If it’s not global rich countries will just outsource polluting industry and poorer countries will be happy to burn cheap fossil fuels to make money selling products back.

… but I am also pessimistic. We may eventually get there but not before serious weather changes that cause a lot of disruption.
You're painting a very broad brush with that one extreme outlier. Most registries don't operate like that; stay away from the few that do.
There's still a lot of potential to continue using natural gas as a bridge fuel. In particular we should be aggressively converting the long haul truck fleet over from diesel. It's going to take many years until batteries are adequate for most over-the-road trucks, especially team driven trucks that sometimes run 22+ hours per day.
Why would you think that? You think these aerospace engineers are a bunch of goof offs?
Thinking Mode vs. Doing Mode
In addition to the other links here, I would add that grid modeling of renewables matched with weather records shows that it's fairly easy to get to 70%-80% renewables without massive storage or new technology. And even in France, this is the level of penetration that nuclear was able to provide.

Germany is a country with absolutely terrible solar resources, but even they are starting to make solar work on their grid. And they spent a ton of money to subsidize the solar industry in its early days to drive down future solar prices. So even the worst case scenarios for cost are not hopeless.

In the near future dystopia all tenants are hosting own Facebook Wi-Fi on their apartments. You can browse your neighbors' social media by connecting to every network one by one. With Facebook app you can simply go all through and get their feed. Everyone knows each other in the building while they have never talked.

Every local shop is using high range Wi-Fi on their stores, and Wi-Fi extenders are in high demand instead of whole wall sized ads. Roof space and different frequency rates of WiFi and band channels are for sale.
The battle from the local customers is raising, and the strongest signal wins.

All you need to do, is to say aloud that I need milk, and grocery store signal appears. While you check their feed, your favorite soy milk seems to be on sale if you buy at least 5 bottles.

Or it could be that the Taliban just pays fighters better [0] compared to the central government in Kabul. Their annual revenue from drug trafficking, extortion, and donations exceeds $1.5B USD [1]. Private citizens from Pakistan and Gulf states like Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar give hundreds of millions of dollars to the Taliban each year [2]. Taliban fighters are also funded and trained directly by the Pakistani government [3]. Little wonder that they're able to take whole towns and cities without fighting, especially when the central government's fighters are underpaid when they're paid at all [4].

WeWork Book: The $10T Mirage
The Federal government does not have the authority in the Constitution to mandate masks, much less vaccines. That's why Biden did not try impose a general mask mandate, although he campaigned on one. A Federal mask mandate with teeth ultimately means armed men injecting people against their will. Some fraction of the unvaccinated are armed and would shoot at the government agents. I wish more Americans were vaccinated, but not at that cost.
I'm looking forward to it. I've recently started a little game project and opted for Go and Raylib, because I didn't want to use Love2D or Defold.

Isn't that all AI is in its current state? Just like computer chess. It knows the moves, and can calculate possibles and iterate through them way faster than a human. It's not like it is thinking for itself saying, what happens if I try this. The devs of the AI point it in a direction, and it sorts through things much more deeply and faster than humans.

All of that is great when we get useable information or even when it exhausts all options to no positive result. It's just another tool to find out answers. The term AI is used waaaay too broadly.
Yeah they could have done it in Italy too
You know who’s more likely to vote for a carbon tax? People who are already committed to making a change. People who are already making changes in their own lives. To fix climate change, everyone will need to make changes to their lives. Doing it now might not be enough to move the needle, but it also doesn’t hurt, and it also primes people for meaningful action.

and yet none of these problems are unique to New York or about New York. These are transparently excesses of _capitalism_, not this city or that

> Because Sacks’s videos pull back the veneer of corporate pledges to commit to sustainability, they are often shared by followers who say capitalism is the root problem. But Sacks says she finds that argument “polarizing” and that it “immediately alienates” those who equate critiques of capitalism as endorsement of socialism or communism.

This whole thread is akin to saying that if you have to debug your code it must be beyond repair or poorly designed.
As a joke, I boycotted sugar for nearly 1 year protesting the mismanagement of land and water resources in South Florida by the sugar industry and the environmental destruction they cause. I doubt I changed anything other than my health in noticeable beneficial ways including weight loss and lower blood pressure. Like recent deadly spikes in covid transmission in Louisiana and Florida, people in both states don't care about the death caused by unmanaged agricultural runoff from the sugar industry either. Last year Louisiana was hit by several hurricanes which oxygenated the coastal waters so the dead zone decreased[0]. This is an odd benefit if climate change causes stronger or more frequent storms, although I read somewhere that there is an equilibrium for the maximum intensity and possible frequency for large storms.

Ive been paying for a lot of contractor work internationally with stablecoins over the last several years

It annoys me how much Tether is often people’s only stablecoin option at the exchanges in their country, and that education is much lower on how to do stuff onchain without exchanges (so they could accept many more assets and convert to whatever they wanted)

I tend to agree. There are legitimate use cases, but overall it's unclear whether "the little guys" are really the main use case or how much the average Nigerian (or anyone else except the ultra wealthy) might benefit.

Now if your point is that some wealthy elites want to take power away from other wealthy elites, I'd say this is a more accurate take on the situation. For example, being able to circumvent taxes, or being able to manipulate markets on a global scale.

> wars in medieval times where shorter and less bloody then before and after

Each individual war was shorter and less bloody but there were many more of them as the barons were feuding constantly in the absence of central authority. Also roving bands would periodically loot and burn while passing by. If you look at the time and effort invested into castles and city walls in the period it tells you all you need to know about how safe people felt at the time.
