I think you're reading into it. They are stating that the solution in the post was overengineered, and describing an alternate solution that doesn't require as much abstraction or resources, but is manageable for data with a much higher dimensional structure

The fact that you read that as "I am very smart" and that that was a reason to downvote the post, tells more about you than it does the person you're supposedly describing.
This is a pretty standard policy at larger companies. Part of the reason is that even if everything in the emails is 100% legally fine, discovery is _expensive_ and gets more expensive the more emails exist.

This explanation was given to me by a corporate lawyer who was trying to figure out whether the same kind of expiration could be put on tickets in bug and project trackers, which would have been even more harmful to institutional memory than an email expiration policy.
Used car batteries are much, much cheaper. So as more BEVs come on road, that's obviously one way forward. Also $100/kWh is today. However, given how rapidly costs have declined over the past three decades, nothing suggests that this is the final number.

Finally, these are just Li-ion prices. Na-ion and Fe-ion are also very close to deployment now. Both of them cannot match the energy density of Li-ion, but that's fine. Grid storage depends on cost, not energy density anyway

The reality is that there's a vocal minority (looks around here) and the vast majority of people couldn't give a shit less.

Not once in my life has my dad, my grandma, or some random friend I met up with at a bar gone "jeez, Apple and Google sure do have a monopoly on pricing in their respective app stores and this harms me as a consumer". Nobody cares. In fact, most people probably think everything is amazing how it is now and don't think there's a problem. Personally, I'm knowledgable enough and I think things are way better now than they might be in a future state where this is changed. I know exactly what is going to happen. They are going to be forced to allow competing app stores (in the case of Apple) and then everybody I know is going to have like 5 stores installed, garbage apps spying and harvesting personal info, and it's going to just be a shit storm of stupid knock-offs, crappy products, and outright theft. There's no way around it and if you don't understand that you're now going to have to fix your grandma's iPhone now because Facebook wasn't on the Apple App Store but was on the whatever App Store you're living in a fantasy bubble where people are even moderately technically literate.

There's just a few disgruntled developers who don't like the rules so they complain loudly, and some billion dollar corporations who can make some money if they win legal cases. Small, but vocal players.

Unfortunately that's how a democracy in a country as large as the United States works. Most people don't care about something so one group can just shout loudly and eventually get their way, even if it is bad for the country as a whole. Then they get entrenched and laws are nearly impossible to repeal now. Then we overcorrect and pass new laws, but then these laws have loopholes or carve out exceptions. /rant

> Second, employers should be unable to mandate higher education that requires candidates to go into tens of thousands of dollars of debt if employers can't show that credential isn't materially required to perform a role's functions.

Will be difficult to enforce. Employers can always look at the degree and secretly use it as a criterion, while being prepared to claim there was something else about the candidate that led them to hire her.
Somehow we're reducing rights down to "things I can get people to arbitrarily agree to or that I can claim by force", which doesn't much seem like rights to me.

Out of curiosity, if you are in the US, have you put yourself on the no call list?

I did this probably over 10 years ago, I have not changed my phone #, and I receive very few spam calls. I did receive some in 2015 and stated I would like them to remove me from there list and not contact me again, and I never heard from them again. The majority of "spam" I get is from recruiters offering me jobs for tech I haven't done in 15 years :(

A comment above is amazing, we should call these new human rights citizenship rights, because that’s what they are.

They’re not human rights which should be undisputable rights that every human has.
When I worked for Microsoft China we’d have a group offsite every year to some Chinese city or other Asian locale. It really isn’t that great to tour with your coworkers, at least compared to going on a relaxing vacation on your own terms.

Yeah, if I want more money I won't look for a promotion in my company because the salary increase will be something like 5%, maybe, due to the way internal promotions work in most corporations. I'll go somewhere else where I can get the same job I'm doing but negotiate a much better pay bump. Every significant pay increase I've had in my career has been by moving companies. I've never had anywhere near the same % increase with internal promotions.
Unless the rest of the world gets to earn US level salaries, that is very unlikely.
Some employers just start you off with 3 or whatever accrued days of vacation, or let you go into the negatives within reason.

Though I’ve often try to work the non-holiday days around Christmas because it lets me clean everything up without anyone asking for much. But we always keep a skeleton team around in case (critical operation).
It's not about morality per se, and rather about understanding the people, organizations, and mechanisms that allowed it to happen. Afghanistan wasn't my war (Iraq), but I've spent most of my lifes free time since I got my brain back (left the military) tackling this topic.

I think it was Ge. Wesley Clark or maybe Col. Wilkerson who said something to the effect of "There was a policy coup, some very hard nosed people took over and never informed the rest of us".

Its true, there was a policy coup, but I've traced it much further back. Besides the JFK episode, the biggest one was Woodrow Wilson and his handlers.

A good examination of these things though is uncomfortable and difficult even for those of us with a passion for truth, but the public doesn't want to hear about it. The elite don't want to discuss it (often because they make money off it). The media wont discuss it because it is controlled by the same people that pushed us into war.

I keep coming back to the media angle, and I also think thats one of the reasons for the increasing attacks on the freedom of the internet; essentially the oligarchs finally understood that as the last bastion of anarchistic freedom of thought, it was their primary threat.
Wow, I had no idea because it's been so long since I've been without ad blockers.

The real issue here is DRM and nonstandard/undocumented* platform interface (e.g. fixed attestation keys and tamper-protected chips preventing efficient RE work).

I no longer do, but only because I recently learned that some carriers allow you to block them completely, before they ever reach the phone. For example, on T-mobile, you just dial #662# to activate it, #632# to deactivate it, and #787# to check if it's currently enabled.

According to the Intel patches to LLVM, the Gracemont cores and the Golden Cove cores as configured in Alder Lake support the complete Broadwell ISA (i.e. including things like BMI1, BMI2 and ADX, which were not mentioned in the presentations).

Besides the Broadwell instructions, all the instructions supported by Tremont (the previous core in the Atom series of cores), but not by Broadwell, are also supported, plus VNNI from Cascade Lake and some of the non-AVX-512 instructions introduced by Ice Lake.

> Pumped hydro, <snip> large scale options

Not large enough. There isn't enough space on earth for all the lakes needed to make pumped hydro work. Sure where there is unused potential we should use it, but there isn't a whole lot of places left where we can do it - even before we get into how hydro tends to destroy ecosystems.
This seems pretty cool. Made me realize what a mess my own website is.
For 250 turbines, based on your own links we need 444 sq km. That's like half the area of the whole of New York City.

Not a small country.

So based on offshore capacity factors, an area of NYC will generate 500160.5 = 4000MW continuous power. NY state consumes approximately 200 TWh of power annually. Thus, this setup itself will contribute to 1/6th of the whole state's power consumption.
Not Germany, but similar situation in Belgium:

Skilled crafts here can generate a more money in the first 10-20 years of a career than what you make with a university degree desk job. One factor is that you can get into the labor force much earlier, don't neglect that 3-5 years head start when saving for your first house loan. After that, it depends if you're doing the extra hours, weekend and night shifts.

After that the masters degree jobs get the advantage. The craftsmen either they worked their way into a more supervising role or are not able or willing to do the lucrative labor hours.

The decline in crafts like baker or butcher is attributed to the long and weird hours, more than the pay. There are simply not enough to replace the

Every time I write something like "Yes, you really can write reliable application. No, if it breaks you can't blame everybody and the universe around you. You made a mistake and you need to figure out how this happened and how to prevent it from happening in the future." I just get downvoted to hell.

I suspect in large part it is because when people fail at something they feel a need to find some external explanation of it. And it is all too easy when "business" actually is part of the problem.

The best people I worked with, let's just say I never heard them blaming business for their bugs. They own it, they solve it and they learn from it.

What I am not seeing is people actually have a hard look on what they have done and how they could have avoided the problems.

For example, the single most cause of failed projects I have seen, by far, is unnecessary complication stemming from easily avoidable technical debt.

Easily avoidable technical debt is something that could have reasonably be predicted at the early stage and solved by just making better decisions. Maybe not split your application to 30 services and then run it on Kubernetes? Maybe rather than separate services, pay attention to have proper modules and APIs within your application and your application will just fit couple of servers? Maybe having function calls rather thancascade of internal network hops is cheap way to get good performance rather than (ignore Amdahl's law and) try to incorporate some exotic database that nobody knows and will have to start learning from scratch?

Then people rewrite these projects and rather than understanding what caused the previous version to fail -- just repeat the same process only with new application stack.
From 2017. I watched the episodes when they came out. I think the content is great, but I didn't like how they talk really really fast and edit out all the spaces and cuts. It's too much volume for my brain to handle. I know some people like it, but it's but for me. Same with CS50. I guess I could watch it at a slower speed, but I don't think my Chromecast supported it.

You're right. I checked with the new Firefox (the one with the "too many taps" GUI from one year ago) and it doesn't work anymore.

That's correct, taking venture capital is almost always a massive obligation and a very real operational liability. It's just not a liability in the financial loan/debt sense, the liability isn't on the balance sheet as debt, it's in the obligation and complexities that come with managing the new capital partners and their self-interest; self-interest which may not always align with your own or the company's best interests. The operational liability is burrowed into the cap table.

>Johnson said a lot of things that he shouldn’t have. Even mentioning that there was some research done into “pre-detonating” a bomb would have been classified (I don’t know anything about this, but it would be entirely unsurprising that this idea was looked into).

Odd the author says he doesn't know about this while claiming to be an expert.

This is the start of what would become missile defense, although it's phrased in the language of the time, as much of the rest of the article is.

Before the infamous "hit a bullet with a bullet" missile tests, and Reagan's so-called star wars initiative, the best technology we had was to launch our own nuclear weapon at an incoming weapon, and detonate it close enough that our bomb released enough energy to start the nuclear chain reaction in the incoming bomb, in a way that causes it to fizzle, but not fully explode. The fizzle would be enough to prevent the incoming bomb from fully exploding, causing it's own detonation to fizzle (if it managed to survive the fireball/blast of the defensive weapon).

I believe this was the original reason for seriously studying the neutron bomb, before it became known as the capitalist bomb (since it killed people via acute radiation but largely spared infrastructure), although I don't know if this is still speculative or if it's been confirmed by any declassified material.

This is also part of the reason that even after the various nuclear test treaties went into effect, the US (and I assume others) continue to perform and study sub-critical / fizzle explosion tests.
This argument is based on the false premise that the state will 'force' the labor of a police officer (or others) to protect your rights. It does not.

See Lozito vs. NYC - an individual was attacked by a drug addict with a knife. In front of 2 cops. They did nothing until the victim subdued the attacker. They then did not try to render aid to the victim. When Lozito sued, the judge dismissed saying the police have no duty to protect anyone.

Many marginalized communities realize the state is not there to help or serve them. If your experience is different - it is most likely that it is more of a happy coincidence that the state's interests and your personal interests are temporarily in alignment. There is no guarantees that this will continue for any length of time.

It doesn't matter in countries like the US where the vaccine is free to anyone who wants it. We know the vaccine improves survival regardless of previous infections.

I too was wondering why LineageOS's forks were being discussed but not LineageOS itself, I assumed the author had made some remarks on it but after reading the article it seems the author made no attempts to explain why forks of LineageOS were chosen over itself.

I'm all in for android forks, I strongly believe improvements in such forks can be up-streamed for the benefit of the entire ecosystem but I'm yet to see a valid justification for recommending something other than LineageOS for someone new to aftermarket android scene.

The human impact of data breaches
To put some numbers to this. France produced 537.7 TWh of electricity in 2020. That's 537,700,000,000 kWh. Let's say you want battery capacity that can cover this for one day - divide it by 365 - 1,473,000,000 kWh. At $100 per kWh that would cost $147 billion.

That's actually not that outrageous. In reality you would probably want more battery capacity than that, but at the same time you'd probably have other forms of power generation too. Those other forms of power generation probably aren't going to be off when wind power isn't being produced, which means that they don't need to be covered by the battery capacity.

France's budget in 2021 was $755 billion.

Edit: I forgot about batteries wearing out. If they have to replace the batteries once a year then this would still be prohibitively expensive.
