While this fine doesn't go unnoticed, let's be honest, they wipe their asses with €225m bills every morning. In this case crime pays because they earn SO MUCH more. And it's not clear they will pay that amount, in most cases they drag things in court and do an extrajudicial settlement with a fraction of that years later.

It's a nuisance because now some schmuck has to come up with a way to bypass these issues while maintained the same operation.
If CA actually cared about the environment they would mandate everyone drive a 20+ yr old cars.

The concept of strip-mining 100 tons of land to make a battery and then charging that battery with coal/nat gas is not environmentally friendly.

If you normalize to the metric "joules of power per $1 landed" its still very hard to beat petroleum. Sadly solar is still an order-of-magnitude away. However via some magical thinking Tesla drivers will claim "the economies of scale of charging millions of batteries by a coal powered plant makes it more efficient than gas." Thats simply press-release style thinking. A 25 y/o Toyota is 10x better for the environment.
What is all the power being used for ? Why the shortage ?
I've owned two defective Apple products (out of well over 100) - the iPhone 6s which was an absolute dud of a phone, and no matter how many times Apple replaced the battery in it, it would be back to lasting only an hour or so within weeks. And a butterfly keyboard MBP, which was an absolute shit of a thing.

Those two duds were enough to slightly sour my relationship with Apple, but look at the alternatives.

Working remote from Cupertino or remote from China? Travel/Quarantine restrictions in China might actually be a bigger factor. Who can forget the infamous Tim Cook anecdote [1] about Apple resolving problems in Asia:

> One day back then, he convened a meeting with his team, and the discussion turned to a particular problem in Asia. "This is really bad," Cook told the group. "Someone should be in China driving this." Thirty minutes into that meeting Cook looked at Sabih Khan, a key operations executive, and abruptly asked, without a trace of emotion, "Why are you still here?" Khan, who remains one of Cook's top lieutenants to this day, immediately stood up, drove to San Francisco International Airport, and, without a change of clothes, booked a flight to China with no return date, according to people familiar with the episode.

> I'm well aware that ipv4+nat is not "security"... yet it removes a whole class of problem (eg: windows print spooler is listening on [::] by default or something like that)

IPv4+NAT does not remove any more classes of problems than IPv6+firewall. Firewalls under IPv6 work exactly the same way as they do with IPv4.

An IP connection is started from the 'inside' to the 'outside', and the source-destination tuple is recorded. When an 'outside' packet arrives the firewall checks its parameters to see if it corresponds with an existing connection, and if it does it passes it through. If the parameters do not correspond with anything in the firewall's table/s it assumes that someone is trying to create a new connection, which is generally not allowed by default, and therefore drops it.

The main difference is that with IPv4 and NAT the original (RFC 1918?) source address and port are changed to something corresponding to the 'outside' interface of the firewall.

With IPv6 address/port, rewriting is not done. Only state tables are updated and checked.

New connections are not allowed past the firewall towards the inside with either protocol, and only replies to connections opened from the inside are passed through.

There's no magical security behind NAT: tuples and packet flags are read, looked up in a state table, allowed or not depending on either firewall rule or state presence.

The security comes from the state checking.

I’m curious how a law seeking to prohibit anyone from attempting to prove their own innocence could even be taken seriously by any judge or lawyer with a successful education from a legitimate formal legal institution.

Preventing someone from attempting to prove their own innocence is similar to the witch trials of old and a grotesque violation of human rights. Any sovereign legal system preventing defending ones innocence through modern forensic means, has little grounds to protest if as a result their legal system is openly mocked and ignored by other countries that do support defending self innocence.

The fact that a supposed modern nation with elected officials elections should have a miscarriage of justice this grotesque seems akin to a theocracy or monarchy that decides at arbitrary the outcomes of legal proceedings without any actual consistent basis for ensuring justice is upheld.
Not sure about the rest of you, but i'm exactly in the opposite team. email is as close to "universal messaging" as we'll ever get. It's the best example of interop we've seen so far and i'm afraid no new protocol could ever catch up with the almost 4 decades of email legacy.

Personally i don't care that Google won't let me talk to people. I treat google's email server like i treat a bourgeois café in a fancy district: there may be friendly people to have a chat with in there, but they definitely don't want me around and i have better places to be and better people to meet. Only a revolution can change this balance, and in the meantime i won't loose my energy trying to get into their club, but rather develop our decentralized clubs.
Listmonk is fantastic -- I use it for the newsletter of my own blog and am amazed by how simple it was to set up and how easy it is to operate and use every time I send out a newsletter.

Prior to Listmonk I used Mailtrain[0] and like Listmonk so much I want to run it as a service (with 30% donated back to the Listmonk project of course) -- deliverability worries and initial setup aside it's just the kind of minimal tool I've come to love these days.

That’s false. Many solar power plants already include ~“4h” of maximum output via batteries. Currently it’s used for peaking power in the evenings. However, that’s ~50% of their daily output. As grid demand is higher in the day that means at scale they could provide 100% grid power 24/7.

Giant 3h system “400 MW of solar energy and store up to 1200 MWh of energy“: https://www.tdworld.com/distributed-energy-resources/energy-...

Example of using that for peak demand: https://www.reutersevents.com/renewables/pv-insider/giant-or...

To be clear a 4GW PV instillation would be 4GW * 4h or 16GWh. That 4GW produces ~30% of maximum output per day or 4GW * 0.3 * 24h = 28.8GWh per day. 28.8GWh - 16GWh = 12GWh after charging batteries. So for ~10h you get 1.2 GW with surplus charging batteries, and for the other ~14 you get 1.14GW.

They aren't doing blockings of individuals here, they are looking at aggregate traffic to certain sites, and literally every ISP on the world does that because they need to optimise their peering arrangements for high traffic, high QoS sites (such as installing OpenCache for Netflix).
The cord is designed to get rid of an incorrectly opened main parachute. Not an unopened one. This is to allow safe deployment of the reserve parachute.

On modern parachutes it won't actually get rid of an unopened main parachute. A main parachute that refuses to open at all is actually scarier than a poorly opened one, because it could get open anytime. Including after you have opened the reserve one. Then you have two parachutes open, and they can get into surprising unstable aerodynamic configurations (a downplane). And you can't easily get rid of an unopened main parachute.

Yes, you can run it on whole hard drive. If you're planning to use it on "low entropy" file formats like "header" files, then use -thorough option.
When a server has IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity, i.e. an A and AAAA DNS record, clients would usually try IPv6 first, then IPv4. Now, if IPv6 is broken somehow (as it was prone to be due to tunneling, Teredo and even nowadays stupid ISPs), the client would wait for a connection timeout, then try IPv4, so every connection would hang for one timeout.

Nowadays, most clients, especially browsers, will try IPv4 and IPv6 concurrently and use the connection that comes back with an ack first. This prevents hangs at the expense of a little higher server resource usage.

But the myth of "IPv6 makes things hang randomly" remains.

Yes, the algebra works, but you lose the intuition for what's going on.

There's a pattern of factorial terms you see with successive integrations: 1/1, 1/2, 1/6, 1/24, 1/n!,

Multiplying by 2 changes this to 2, 1, 1/3, 1/12, 2/n!.

I view that as a clear loser, not a winner.

This person has no idea what he's talking about with regard to tires and wheels. Feel free to rock LT tires on your car (if you can get them in a suitable size, which you can't for most modern stuff), the weight difference is well within the range of normal variation for tires and rim packages. There's no point in spending big bucks on A/T tires if you're going to carry chains and are not going to be four wheeling for the sake of four wheeling, the chains will do anything the A/Ts could and more.

The tires are the most flagrant waste of money but this whole article is riddled with bad advice. Living out of a car sucks far, far more than the author is letting on. You don't need these particular products to go "car camping". Damn near anything from the various consumer outdoor gear outlets or Amazon will do just fine. And you really should try car camping for a weekend and then a week to shake out the little details before you do it for weeks or more.

Though I will give him credit for a) stopping short of telling people to buy those stupid roof top tents and b) not telling people they need to buy a large SUV.

That sounds vaguely familiar. I remember something like that happening with a device from the 1970s, which I can't now identify. I think it was mostly black plastic and offered a choice of about four different games, something like: table tennis, tennis, squash, solo squash. You could sometimes trap the ball between the bat and the top/bottom of screen and "squash" it there, causing the bounce beep to be repeated several times a second, but if you "squashed" it too hard it would pass through the bat to the other side. I can't now remember how you got it out of that state.
>The monetary system has turned modern capitalism into some kind of social lottery system which has nothing to do with value creation and everything to do with social scheming (playing politics) and dumb luck.

You have described literally any scarce monetary system that is suffering from a lack of money. When there is a lack of money in the economy people try to get closer and closer to the source of fresh money because the old money has become inaccessible. There simply is nothing that forces money to circulate in the economy. If money was circulating we could do away with the deflation/inflation nonsense.

>The monetary system actively helps capital holders to build moats around their businesses by ensuring that they and their business partners get preferential and disproportionate access to newly printed credit

What I believe is that banks are simply ignoring small businesses for some inexplicable reason. If banks don't lend to the small guy then he has no choice other than to beg the government to do something meaning welfare or stimulus checks.

>Cantillon effects mean that the further an entity is from the source of new money, the more scarce money is going to be for them.

The reason why the distance to new money matters is that the distance to old money is growing or infinite. Money doesn't circulate. Government spending circulates money but it has always been considered a hack. Keynesian gold digging is a thought experiment trying to show that even doing the dumbest thing you can imagine is still better than doing nothing.

I personally do not care about government spending funded through debt that much because a tax less system with deficit spending wouldn't have any compounding problem and if done properly wouldn't cause significant inflation. The effect of income taxation is much higher. A -> B -> C -> D. Income and sales taxes compound. Money that reaches D has been taxed more heavily than money that reaches A who gets paid by the government. If you get paid millions by the government it is entirely possible that your effective tax burden vs other citizens is 0 despite paying huge income taxes because the taxes you paid are immediately used to pay you again.
There's no problem having several wireguard connections enabled at the same time. Routes are selected per metrics/distance.

I think an undergraduate degree is vastly different than someone doing graduate work. (NB: I have an undergraduate degree in philosophy earned over 25 years ago.) I guess it also depends on the school -- if you have a degree from a program that is highly specialized, then, yeah, probably not worth it. But, if the program provides a good overview drawing from multiple sources, with a bit of specialization later in the degree, it may not be so utterly ridiculous.

None of which work beyond a few hours. The sheer number of batteries and the amount of pumped hydro needed is phenomenal. As one data point, Elon Musk's much heralded $100m battery in South Australia stores a few seconds of Australia's total energy use. A few tenths of a second for the US.

When it is cloudy and there is no wind for a week, renewables are a complete failure.

> is dropping in price

Batteries have been dropping in price for 140 years. But the best batteries have only been getting better at about 7% per year. Specific technologies have improved faster than this early on in their lives (e.g. LiIon) but during most of this improvement they were far from the best.

- Code new feature \{date: +1d} - in one day

- Wake up \{date: 9:00am} - next 9:00am

- Go for a run \{date: (9:00am)} - every 9:00am

Does anyone know of any standards like this?

How does crypto help against property owners charging extortionate sums for housing?

If I have more crypto the property owner will just charge me in crypto and all the gains I have made advantaged me vs non crypto people but if everyone followed this strategy you would not be better or worse off when it comes to buying a house.

Everyone would be spending their crypto gains on housing and make it even more expensive.

99% of people who hate the central bank hate it because it gives property owners more pricing power i.e. "the central bank made housing more expensive". Just think about the news articles "crypto made housing more expensive" if everyone did it.
