These are offshore turbines, so looks would hopefully be less of a problem (and, I guess, so would noise which is often mentioned as a problem too) at least.
This is a good example of Bullshit jobs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullshit_Jobs)

These type of employees are just the start of a lot of bad apples. A bit like a cancer, how do you fire (or not hire) just people like this?

And you can't really blame Google, when they chose "Don't be evil" they didn't predict how evil social media (Twitter) would make people.

And that's it, just because you know about Bullshit jobs there doesn't seem like a solution. Google needs to cull tens of thousands of employees, what more can they do than hope they quit. More likely the good ones will quit and go to agnostic companies because Google lets people like this stay.
Maybe we should develop less taxes, try to charge everyone with fixed amount for gov services or move some expensive services to private ownership?

Private hospitals based on private insurances will surely build themselves, I promise you that, that's a too highly profitable sector of economy not to invest if there is no competition from the government.

There are like zero real reasons why person with 100k EUR income should pay more than 10k EUR income person living in the same city and consuming the same amount of public services. Current system is completely unjust and based on money redistribution (that's called robbery if that's is done by a mob without the gov id card).

Free capital controls provided by crypto (i.e. ability to flawlessly move billions through the border without anyone's allowance) introduces unprecedented competition between govs for educated and rich citizens, which may lead to lower taxes, less regulations, more freedoms and less bureaucracy. That a good goal and incentive, don't you think?

The very first version of emojis was already not just a compatibility encoding. If it were solely for compatibility every character could have been just named EMOJI COMPATIBILITY-HHHHH. Unicode (correctly) determined that the presence of initial emojis would trigger further needs and prepared basic encoding principles. No trademark characters, unify with existing characters whenever possible, country flags use generic regional indicators (there was already a specific request from national bodies at that time) and so on.

Well, that's when you can use the mod operator instead of having to do it when indexing into an array (a much more common operation).
Same here. These are all examples of the same things. If you get your hands on the secret, you can do anything.

The only thing the post explains that there is a difference between checking a secret with the database vs message validation, also based on a secret. But for both, if you have the secret, you're doomed.

Expiration / immediate revocation when doing message validation is more difficult than having a distributed cache, which supports key eviction/expiry/removal.

Also, an asymmetric solution has similar problems: if you get the private key from the client, you're doomed. So it does protect the server part, but if people have access there, you're even more doomed. But at least it'll be easier to identify who had a security leak./
"Even the query language of SQL is loosely based on a relational algebra, though the operands in SQL (tables) are not exactly relations and several useful theorems about the relational algebra do not hold in the SQL counterpart (arguably to the detriment of optimisers and/or users). The SQL table model is a bag (multiset), rather than a set."

from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_algebra#Implementat...

I remember how this suprised me a lot after thinking that SQL and SQL databases are based on relations, thinking "how can two equal rows co-exist in a relation". SQL needs things like "hidden identifiers / row keys" and so on to be squeezed into being "relational".

It's interesting because the coalition for "app fairness" is a whose who almost of folks who have repeatedly paid fines / penalties (which barely covers the cost) for their billing and other practices.

We already know how the other guys do it, they screw you. must cancel 30 days in advance or you get a 1 year renewal. Meanwhile, when I delete an app that has a subscription apple reminds me and suggests cancelling subscription!

The problem is individuals have NO / ZERO leverage in these deals these days. This is not your corner grocer. Match Group etc are major companies - and yes, they will do everything they can to extract every $, long term brand strength be darned.
> or give out a lot of grants to individual people who are just maintaining open source projects or making/maintaining something similar that many people benefit from but the value would be lost if one were to try to make money off of it.

There is definitely a lot of missed opportunity in not supporting some open source projects that provide general public benefit.

Some of those products would compete with parts of the services Google and co offer.

That's probably the "problem".
Thank you for this, the analogy really resonates.
As much as I love jq and it has helped me, it always has an „awk“ vibe to me which is one of the tools I use less despite its capability, because of the same reason: I tend to forget all the special syntax over the years.

Compare that with „gron“ ( https://github.com/Deitar13/gron ), which is arguably not as powerful and clunky, but it allows me to compose and tie into the other unix tools way better.

It‘s mainly for that reason I use it more than jq these days for ad-hoc analysis.
First starting point for "I lost my passport" should be "visit your embassy in the country you are in".

It may not be an instant solution, but should normally result in a temporary passport you can use to travel home with, then once home you should be able to bootstrap from there.
> Any large company with half-way competent legal counsel is going to tell their employees not to say, "our goal is to crush our competitors, dominate the market, and hear the lamentation of their women."

I don't think that's true. I work for Samsung and we talk about market share and competitors all the time.

I mean, why shouldn't we? Being crystal clear is a very good step to achieve a goal. We need to be more honest.
Just as a side note, Sailfish is not fully open source.

> This is such an uncharitable interpretation of the training materials. The material there is not saying "if you want to speak about things that raise antitrust concerns, use this coded language", it's saying "don't do these things, and just focus on building a good product".

That is a very charitable interpretation of the training materials.
But the complaints against apple have focused on things they do that at least too me seem helpful and a positive part of my experience with apple. I feel MUCH more comfortable spending money via apple then I do almost anywhere else.

Software on the web - endless issues buying / refunding / renewing.

And if I don't like apple (which only has like 15% market share) I can switch to any number of android phones.

It's just weird seeing the FTC going after a player that is generally doing things consumers like. Meanwhile, android phones ship with rom loaded rootkits / trackers / overlays and app stores and what do we hear from FTC? Crickets - literally.
"On time, on budget, and on fire."
As awful of a failure as that is, and as fun as it is to mock Tesla for it, that claim was that they're aware of edge cases and working on fixing them, not that they're already fixed. So your criticism doesn't really make sense.
The article says that when the case against her didn't pan out for the litigant, they launched a new case, stating that this time they were attacking her estate as she was dead.

How this statement in court filings resulted in her being declared dead the article does not state.

I don't remember reading anywhere that she was at fault, for any of it.
IP68? The 6 stands for absolutely dustproof and the 8 means it can be submerged more than one meter in water and still work. Wasn't there a case of a working iPhone from a lake?

If you think wind energy is too expensive you must hate nuclear. It's like 4-7x the cost.
Like torrents or dark markets. Technically not a problem, but will cause more effort and risks for creators (goodbye VC backed "Decentralized" swaps) and higher costs for clients who will pay for covering those risks.

I assure you, though, that some sneaky guy from Africa, Russia, Ukraine or China would always find his way to help people changing their money.

Btw, in theory there is a way to create completely decentralized versions (hosting frontend on IPFS/torrents/other distributed storage) and the whole backend made on smart-contract, but it would be slower and harder to use than current systems with partially centralized backends and CDN js/static distribution.
Eyesore is a precise word for the local keyword, from what I see the variable names in scripts are usually short, and the local keyword seems to draw more attention than the variable names themselves.

Of course this can be alleviated with syntax highlighting that would slightly mute the local keyword. And, people using Lua they day probably learn to ignore the keyword automatically.

You can win a 100 meter race by having a goal of running sub 8 seconds, or you can win a race by having a goal of crushing the other athletes. It's up to you if during your training you're focused on the times versus on the other athletes. It's also up to you if during the race you're looking left and right to see how fast they're running or if you're just focused on going the fastest you can. I think this is the difference in approach that they were mentioning. Obviously you still defeat the competition as a byproduct of being the fastest, but they are very different approaches.

Actionable Marketing Tips and Insights
This is sound advice not only for corporate survival; you should also keep this in mind in personal communications. Even your private communications with your closest friends could be leaked years later if you somehow manage to cross the wrong people, and Internet mobs are every bit as capable as the smartest lawyers at constructing alternate realities from a few found seed words; or maybe they’re not as capable, but the bar of acceptance is also far lower.
Geo - like hydro-power - is only suitable in very particular geographies and so has relatively tiny scope for decarbonizing electricity generation. Solar is on average cheaper but the cheapest wind is cheaper than the cheapest solar[1]. Nuclear just isn't in the ballpark in terms of cost or utility or project risk.

Intermittency is a problem for all generation types - they just have different modes. The average nuclear reactor in the US, for example, spends about 10% of it's time off-line, coal generation is even worse - about 15% unavailable with 10% unscheduled. So you still need backup idling capacity for thermal generation. Particularly nuclear requires a great deal of complimentary dispatchable sources given you need to be able to match demand which can have a daily peak 2 or 3 times higher than trough and nuclear reactors can take a day or more to vary their output.

No comment on the looks - to me they aren't ugly.

There is a plausible route for wind - at least to get to 70% or so supply. There are a few countries in Europe already over the 35% mark for wind and grid engineers seem confident that much more can added with current tech.

Wind complements solar as their output is generally not correlated - combining both reduces the overall output variance.

Wind has higher capacity factor than solar[2]. In more northern latitudes solar capacity factor can be as low as 10%. While in some places on-shore wind capacity factors can be higher than 40%. 1GW of installed capacity wind will, on average, provide 40% more electricity than 1GW of solar based on the US Energy Information Agency figures.

1.2 ** 2 == 1.44. So... ? Power is linear wrt area of the disk?
Alder Lake fixes this issue by including all features on the efficiency cores, so a thread should be able to move between performance and efficiency cores seamlessly.

It also drops AVX-512 support entirely, presumably because the efficiency cores don’t support it and the problem you mention isn’t easily solvable.
If it improves, it would certainly improve also vs nuclear.

Also regarding CO2 cost, nuclear vs wind is certainly not clear cut. This [1] reference says wind is somewhat worse than European nuclear but better than US nuclear. It's also worth pointing out that lifecycle CO2 analysis of Nuclear often consider only ~50 years of nuclear waste storage [2], which is somewhat misleading considering that we have to store some of the waste for thousands of years.

Well, the wind energy captured depends on the surface area covered by the blades, not the diameter. So let's first check for that:

1.19 * 1.19 = 1.4161

That's still 4% unaccounted for, so there are some efficiency gains there.

The question then becomes how building materials and energy required to build one of these scales with size. If that is linearly with blade diameter/turbine height, then yes, the efficiency increases quickly the larger you build them.

On the Eve of Expansion, a Setup Unlike Any Other
If this was supposed to be a crafty way to force Truman's hand and get the fusion bomb programme approved then it was pretty impressive.

It's slightly troubling that individual members of US Congress and even the president have opportunities to radically swing historical decisions like this, given that the system is quite volatile. All kinds of people can (and do) get elected to the positions, and are frequently replaced. You're really rolling dice to see what kind of person you get chairing an appropriate committee or approving some key proposal. Even then the results are unpredictable, maybe someone mentions a "superbomb" in an interview with the hope that it get the project cancelled.

Leibniz's "we live in the best of all possible worlds" is always useful, but I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking that a majority of possible worlds got wiped out in the cold war, and that this is one (or some) of the lucky few that only pulled the trigger when the revolver's chamber was empty.

This comment is peak HN. Congratulations.
All engineering at sea costs more. Seabed anchoring is a thing, and a higher degree of wind offshore is a thing, but if you do the linear optimisation of the different cost benefit lines I suspect scaling up traditional fan style 3 blades just wins.

It's a "perfect is the enemy of good enough" thing. Better designs along one axis with a multi axis problem won't be best overall.
The thing that hit me many years ago was when I was very young (less than five, I think), and I was at my great grandmothers house, and she fixed dinner. And I LOVED the creamed corn she made! I made such a fuss about it that she had to get another can off the shelf and make a second helping.

It was just plain creamed corn with condensed milk. But it was also the best thing I had ever eaten.

She was very confused. As was my grandmother. And my mom. None of them understood just how important that “granny corn” was, despite the fact that it was straight from a can into the pan to be heated a little, and then put into a bowl for me.

I heard that story time and time again, for decades.

Association is a huge part of impression and memories. That’s why smell is such a good trigger for emotions, because it is very primal and connected so closely to those parts of your brain that are involved in association.

"Google’s Growing Antitrust Tsunami" - says it all!
which to be honest is less of a testament to increased efficiency and more of a mathematical effect of circle area growing to the square of the diameter.

The other main reason to get bigger that‘s not even discussed is increased capacity factor. That doesn‘t have to do with efficiency, but with effectiveness, as the turbine will simply run more days of the year.

How do you guys find where your competitors launched?
I'm currently working on a new tool called Launch Torch.

The idea is to ease the domain search of any company and get their activity on different launch platforms. We offer information like where and when they launched, how many upvotes, comments, and reviews they got. We would be grateful if you devote a few minutes to check our product and tell us if you find it useful in a comment.

Link your project in the comment section and I will give you feedback.

Exactly. "Committee of Public Salvation". Sounds weird.

So, in this case, considering they considered themselves the defenders of the greatest ideology of all time and the (worthy) people, and were at war with both foreign countries and some of their own people, I’d say it'd mean something like:

"Committee in charge of delivering the country, the Republic (the idea of Republic itself; not just it’s French incarnation) and freedom / democracy (even though they weren’t quite democratic) from utter ruin and certain doom"

But that’s quite a mouthful.
