I think these units are used because it gives a more favourable comparison to existing turbines. It demonstrates that a developer could make more money. Nameplate capacity alone is probably not comparable when the power curve is so different to a normal turbine.

A big factor could be how closely they can be spaced compared to traditional turbines. I guess wake effects would be very different.
Shell scripting is a strange beast. The fact how long it took the author to explain the reason for the first parameter expansion pretty much demonstrates that. You can (and I regularily fall for that) loose yourself in scripting. It sort of lures you in. You take some command line invokations, wrap them in a while loop or pipe it to some grep/sed/awk magic, and achieve things. You can even go and learn the idioms. Important things like "set -e" and ${foo}, remember to quote every file and directory name that contains a variable (yes, people use spaces in the project directories they upload) and yadda yadda. Now you are approaching something vaguely safe. But dont rattle it too much, it might break. And it will definitely break in 2 years. But hey, you've written a program... It feels like compiance bias. "I can learn everything necessary to make bash into a programming language", yeah, you can. However, the question is really if you should...
It's a term of art. In practice, I don't believe failure to pay a debt is ever prosecuted as theft, but it's not economically distinguishable from it even if a legal distinction is made. This is effectively the basis of accrual accounting whereby firms claim payments as an inflow on their income statements when a good or service is delivered, not when payment is received.

Possibly worth noting if you reversed something like the McDonald's example, going into a restaurant and agreeing to pay for a burger, they give you a burger, and you don't pay, I'm pretty sure that would be prosecuted as theft. The terms of exchange don't specify payment in future installments with interest. Labor seemingly works the same way. Batching payments in biweekly installments is for convenience because it would be impractical to disburse funds continuously, not because you're loaning your labor. If you want to say they're not stealing money, fine, but they're stealing work. I guess the law doesn't seem to see it this way, though.

Stop eating so much sugar and other sweeteners. In the US, it's in everything.

The way to do it is to change your taste buds. Stop eating crap sweeteners by eliminating anything from your diet that has high fructose corn syrup. Also eliminate any artificial sweeteners. Instead, accept only sugar as the sweetener.

Sounds strange, but this will eliminate a whole raft of crap food, and your taste buds will change. After a while, you will not be interested cheap quality foods that are sweetened with HFC or artificial sweeteners.

For example, if you drink soda, only drink soda that is sweetened with sugar. After a while, the HFC and artificially sweetened sodas will be disgusting to you. This is progress.

You'll discover that you're eating better quality food, and you'll be less and less tempted to buy crap.

The next step is to eliminate dessert food. This is stuff that purports to be food, but is actually sweetened to be a dessert. The goal is to have dessert be dessert, and food be food.

You expect desserts to be sweetened, but not normal food items. Example: most bread in US grocery stores is sweetened. It's more like cake than bread. Actual bread does not need to be sweetened. Find bread that is actually bread.

The best way to do this is to pick a single meal a day, such as breakfast. Breakfast and dessert are two different things. What can you have for breakfast that is not sweetened? Eat that. You'll find your energy level will even out and you'll start to notice all the other flavors in your food that sugar was drowning out.
> This is still a huge stretch and I don't think modern America is very comparable to Rome.

How did you arrive at the idea that I am trying to establish equivalence or close comparabilty? The point of this writing is not that, but to suss out similar aspects, and see what we can learn from them. In particular I was exploring the populism aspect (as is reflected in the title), specifically the part where Free Trade impoverished the middle class and alienated people from elites, thus creating fertile ground for populism. Surely that is comparable?
When they discontinued some of these routes it was cheaper to buy each passenger a first class airline ticket than have them take the train.

I love trains and there are places where cities are close together and if the train went 150 mph or faster where it might make sense. I'd love to see a Cleveland to Detroit to Chicago train for example. But I'm not taking the train if travelling by car was faster, that makes no sense.

We're not more than 5-10 years away from a time where travelling by car could mean sleeping (or working on a laptop) in the back seat until the end of the trip is possible.
I stopped drinking two or three beers a day by substituting Beck's 0%. The Beck's is not great but it's also not horrible and allowed me to continue my "habit" without consuming alcohol. Cutting out two or threes beers a day won't impress serious drinkers but it made quite a big difference for me, particularly my sleep improved a lot.
I think there is a debate of when ‘life’ happens. And that more or less everyone is against removing life that has already happened (directly, not in an underfunding school nutrition and living wages sorta way). So the side that believes life happens at conception is literally removing choice from those that believe it happens at birth.

Ironically, many advocates of life at conception also are against sexual education and universal birth control, or in favor of promoting that abstaining from sexual relations should be the solution. This context makes it more about governing how women make choice regarding their bodies (in sexual manners and in conception manners) and largely insult men from those same consequences.

Please note that the law makes not allowance for incest or rape- so if one was a victim of these crimes, they would still be required to carry and deliver the child. A child in the case of incest that is likely to be genetically mutated such to lead to a life of suffering (for the child and those caring for them).

That's an incredibly narrow definition of metabolic support. Providing food for children is also a form of metabolic support and it is certainly not acceptable to just stop feeding your children. That also discards the idea that there is another life in the balance here that has committed no crime that would be considered on the level of forfeiture of life and thus has as much right to life as the mother does.
Still, one also must acknowledge that the hammer of using simple formal models to describe human decision-making has led to a crisis as well (in microeconomic theory). So it's best to do it like Tversky and Kahneman and build formal models that are then empirically tested.
But that's my point. Being a leading scholar and leading a large group of people toward some end are entirely different things.
In summary, the part being violated is:

“You will not collect any PII about any entity without their consent.”

There’s probably an implied “You will not use this service to collect …” at the start.

So basically, you can’t host a portal to gather PII on non-consenting parties.

It would be pretty easy for the website to get around that.

The website asked for the contact info of the user and then had a textarea field with the caption “If applicable: Do you have information about potential violations of the Texas Heartbeat Act?”

I think they burned a man at Burning Man because the guy who came up with it was going through a divorce and had a kind of spontaneous inspiration/dream/vision about doing it. So if anything, it would be transition or rebirth, not scapegoating or execution. Or at least that's why he did it. The reason Burning Man Inc. does it is because they saw something authentic that was working[0], copied it, stripped everything interesting or frightening to people with money out of it, scaled it up, and turned it into a living.

[0] There should be scare quotes around "working", I think some people got set on fire and somebody might have died.
I don't think there's any technical knowledge needed here; the concepts are common ones. "There was a big hoo-hah about how it used to output a certain well-known piece of code in possible violation of its licence. They fixed it by blocking any output that includes the name of that exact paragraph of code. In particular, it can still output other code from the same codebase with the same licence; just not that particular paragraph."

The direct analogy would be trying to stop it from outputting The Lord of the Rings by blocking the phrase "a long-expected party" (the title of its first chapter).
Indeed. Flagged the post for this reason.

I wrote a game in PL/M in the bad old days before good debuggers. Didn't work. Fast-forward and years later a colleague wrote a source debugger for our OS (CTOS) and in half an hour I had the game running. Bad pointer construction if I remember right - pointing to byte variables and treating them as pointers to words.
For that matter, it's still entirely plausible that when someone actually sues under the law it's going to get appealed up and revoked because of Roe. I say plausible, because I'm sure the conservative majority would like to overturn Roe, but I'm not sure if this particular law is the vehicle they'd want for that.

All the Supreme Court said so far was that they didn't think there was a cause of action at the moment because of how the law was structured.

(Now, was that decision perhaps slightly motivated by the conservative majority and the exact topic of the law? Seems likely. I bet they'd have stayed a law that was exactly the same other than the reportable-act being handgun ownership, for instance.)
Spotting Slicks
When I say I don’t care what color a person is, I’m saying their skin color does not affect my decision. Are they the best candidate? I don’t care what got you here. My grandfather was a POW in a German camp in WW2, my grandparents walked over the alps for an opportunity for a better life in France. Nobody gave them a shot just because they had a rough early life. My parents didn’t speak English when they got to this country. Nobody gave them any special treatment. Get to work, show your value.

With regards to the numbers, they are what they are, what exactly is it that you want with respect to that situation? Do you want to get rid of 45 white people so it’s even? Truly - I don’t understand what you’re trying to point out. That life isn’t fair because you aren’t in the “majority?” Welcome to the club - we all have things that we think like is unfair about: I wasn’t born super-rich, I have a 9yo son with an incurable chronic illness that could kill him that we have to manage 24/7. There are something things you can change and others you can’t. I don’t expect the world to change their behavior for my son’s well-being just because he’s not in the majority. I also don’t view it as it as a slight against people with his disease. I wouldn’t want someone to hire him because he’s a type 1 diabetic. I want someone to hire him because he’s the best available candidate.

How much of a buffer can you possibly maintain to deal with a year long economic disruption, which changes both supply (by lockdowns and factories being offline) and demand (by a shift in consumer spending mix and free government money)?

It's impractical to keep 12 months worth of supplies for manufacturing, even when you don't try to do lean manufacturing - just plain old manufacturing. It's something you need to finance, parts getting obsolete and product designs in some categories iterate every year or two.

We just need to deal with this new reality. You can do your best to avoid the worst case scenario but it is after all a statistical inevitability, so you just ride through it.

As I said on another comment here, though, this is going to have long standing effects on the other end of the disruption. We're going to be left with huge over capacity, unclaimed stocks and companies that couldn't produce parts will have their customers design out their parts for whatever else they can get their hands on. This is a golden opportunity for the smaller players in the industry. How giants like ST, TI and NXP will deal with this long term - I'm not quite sure. Many companies in 2021 and possibly well into 2022 who would normally design their products with TI parts will not do that because they can't even get samples, let along ramp up production.
By far the best tool I found was the online IDE [1]. Your program compiles to webassembly as you type it, and it plays in the browser. An interactive diagram is generated representing your program, so you can easily see if you made a mistake somewhere (though not always easy to see just where your mistake is).

I also learned by looking at the standard libraries' source code [2] and the online manual [3]. For the actual DSP knowledge, which I was learning at the same time and which isn't specific to Faust, I was reading J. O. Smith III's writings [4] (in particular, Physical Audio Signal Processing was most relevant to me).

I published my trombone simulator [5] as a web app but without the source. I haven't published the speech synthesizer or spatial audio stuff but I may in the future.

There is no reason to think that this is true beyond marketing and sheer optimism.

Depends on the job. Desk workers, sure, you could get more done in four days than you used to in five. It's not like that for everyone else though. If your job does not involve creativity chances are you do more work in five days than could be physically done in four, unless you go from working eight hour days to ten hour days.
Where does it feel like it's no longer optional? I don't see your preferred pronouns here just for example. In all of my social circles the overwhelming opinion expressed by progressives is that not specifying your pronouns is as valid a preference as any other. I've even seen that specifically stated in diversity and inclusion training. Making people feel like they have to specify pronouns is the opposite of being inclusive and progressive so I'm glad I've never come across this.
For all those engineers to learn a different tool will cost you way more.

There are too many comments in there.

Comments are not the first tool people should try to reach because:

1. That's a lazy way to make the code clear, most code should be self-descriptive. If the teams are spamming comments it's likely to be a bad code base already.

2. There's no guarantee the comment is compatible with the code: It's natural language and there's no obvious way to test that. After versions of modification, the comments might still look like they make sense but that's not how the code work anymore.

Two alternatives:

1. Declarative programming: Try to leverage declarative programming styles more. For example, top-down style dynamic programming or memoization is always more readable and less error-prone than the bottom-up ones. You don't have to fully adopt functional programming or logic programming, but do take some inspiration from them.

2. Testing. Tests are like comments, they reflect some meaning of the code. Tests are not like comments, if the code breaks, they break.

Of course, comments are very valuable, but it's most valuable when applies in the right spots only.
"Artificial" scarcity, even of so-called necessities, is not indirect coercion so long as it's the choice of the property owner. No one is entitled to the provisions or labor of another because of lack or need. If someone decides it's not in his interest to distribute the fruits of his labor, that's his right.

And yes, people can walk away. Human beings have being walking away for tens of thousands of years. You don't need to read libertarian literature to know the phrase "vote with your feet".

A government with a monopoly on force and enforcement of contracts is as much a feature of a libertarian society as it is in a contemporary one, and so the comparison involving the USDA is germane. The contention is one of degree and nature involvement. A private property owner in a libertarian society must still follow the law to the extent that such laws don't violate his rights.
From Wikipedia:

> Edward Teller also raised the speculative possibility that an atomic bomb might "ignite" the atmosphere because of a hypothetical fusion reaction of nitrogen nuclei.[note 2] Bethe calculated that it could not happen,[34] and a report co-authored by Teller showed that "no self-propagating chain of nuclear reactions is likely to be started."[35] In Serber's account, Oppenheimer mentioned the possibility of this scenario to Arthur Compton, who "didn't have enough sense to shut up about it. It somehow got into a document that went to Washington" and was "never laid to rest".

"Wage theft" is an established term with clear meaning, is it really helpful in any way to try and cherry-pick it from first principles despite that? Nobody is using "wage theft" to suggest treating all unpaid debts as "theft".
