Doesn't chip making a lot of water, most of it in Arizona is fed by Lake Mead?

The same reservoir that is at 30% capacity, with acute water shortages and with 4 years of increased precipitation necessary for an adequate refill.

We are adding a chip making facility which needs a lot of water here?

This sounds like a recipe for disaster whenever there is a period of water stress which appears to be occurring in that region significantly more frequently.

The more I think about it, the more US infra/urban planning makes absolutely 0 sense to me. Seems to more closely follow tax breaks and tax income than necessarily smart resource allocation.
Isn't that a cultural thing with China, though? That the party is the state, and therefore any criticism of the party is anti-patriotic criticism of the country?

Thailand has similar rules; criticising the king is illegal because anti-patriotic. Cambodia has rules around criticising the government (conflating it with criticising the country). Myanmar is a bit of a special case at the moment. Not sure about Laos or Vietnam.

The culture there just doesn't allow that kind of expression: you can't criticise your boss, or any authority, in public. That has become a flat "you can't criticise the CCP or its policies without being seen as attacking China" online.

Ah, thanx for the the clarification! Would be neat if it could be set at a therapeutically optimum setting or something. Or perhaps vary? Or that would be weird I guess. Best thing would be if certain elements require close focus, while others require one to focus on infinity. In a ratio that mimics natural use. But I guess that is a lot more difficult to implement.

Btw, too little light is also not good for the eye, outside, in the sun it can easily be 100x brighter than your screen and your eye needs that every now and then to remain in good shape.

Occasionally I accidentally use Google search when I've got an automated Chrome window open, and I find it astounding how unhelpful the results are. Everything that is returns is clearly optimized for what Google thinks readers want in a webpage rather than what actually matches my query. DDG isn't perfect but I find it better respects my queries.
People have differing opinions on this, so maybe learn to respect that. Seems like 20 years of experience has not done that.
While I don't have any hard evidence to back up my claims, I would tend say no. Reason being is that we are mammals and some mammals live in the ocean like seals. Their bodies have the same reaction to diving than ours [0] and it certainly does them no harm. Sure they are more efficient and better adapted, but the underlying physiological principles are the same.

Large dominant companies virtually always work to suppress any threatening innovation. I would be very interested in hearing about any monopoly, duopoly or other dominant firm that didn't.

It is often legal, or borderline legal if you have good lawyers. And done in the open. No conspiracy "theory" needed.

Examples include platform providers acting as gatekeepers on who uses their platform. See: Apple.

This can be done completely in the open, or by having special API's that only privileged partners can use: See again: Apple

Another tactic is to buy up small innovative companies in areas related to maintaining dominance. The business reason given to the public can be that the big company wants to integrate the new tech, or that the employees being obtained are worth the cost.

But much of the tech of these small companies ends up discarded, and often even their customers are no longer served, and many of these new employees get frustrated and leave. So often the only significant impact of the acquisition is that the big company killed off a potential competing business.

These are standard business practices for at least a couple centuries.

I suppose my point was that you don't have to specify types for maps and sets at all (which I didn't do in my example,) the existing syntax already does that. [] is already a set, {} is already a map. Type hints would just be used for the values.

Sending type definitions seems like a good idea. Although at that point it might as well not even be called any kind of JSON.

> "A new battery module isolation loss alarm has been added."

This is the worst fault possible in an EV 101 scenario right here (touch metal -> instant death), so I'm surprised that with all Tesla's experience, they didn't consider an isolation leak as a serious fault. And I'm surprised that they allow the battery monitoring system to be disabled during servicing, especially the IMD (insulation monitoring device).
A human indeed.
Unless you enjoy moving the goalposts you need to pick one version of the theories:

* Traditional capitalist companies trying to make a profit.

* Traditional capitalist companies colluding with governments, scientists and the media to make profit.

* A secret world order colluding with the media, governments and big pharma/tech to ensure population control through vaccines.

* A secret world order colluding with the media, governments and big pharma/tech to ensure population control through engineered viruses and vaccines.

* A secret world order colluding with the media, governments and big pharma/tech implant nanochips that give them certain controlling abilities.

Then either COVID is a hoax or not. If it's a hoax you wouldn't want the vaccines to be unnecessarily dangerous (with experimental mRNA tech). Better just inject people with something safe like water (and optionally nanochips). Therefore COVID probably is not a hoax. People are really dying.

From a purely economic perspective it doesn't work if your product doesn't work as advertised. We have checks in place to ensure this. So the anti-vaxxer needs to come up with extra theories why vaccine companies are able to sell faulty dangerous products. There needs to be some secret worldwide collusion with governments, the scientific community, the media and tech companies. All these people willing to turn a blind eye. Risk their careers so that some Big Pharma companies can make a profit?

Lobbying happens. But would be impossible to achieve at such a large scale. It would be horrible bet to make for a profit seeking company. There's no guarantee it will succeed. Their business would be obliterated completely if anyone ever found out. It doesn't make sense.

From hereon we get into the more exotic theories.

If you're trying to find people in the Bay Area that appreciate TikTok, might I make a suggestion? If you use the TikTok app instead of this web forum, lovely a place as it may be, you may have better luck connecting with like minded people. Because saying the Bay Area is "blind" to it is ridiculous. The Bay Area is less about conspicuous consumption to the same degree that LA or Miami can be, but investing in TikTok adjacent businesses, aka content houses, is big business and big money. Programmers might not get it, but ask someone who doesn't get TikTok what they thought of Twitter when it first came out.

I stopped using Dropbox when their client started telling me that my filesystem was not supported and suggested that I do something about it, so I did and uninstalled Dropbox. But I'm just one user, and I think their Linux user base is tiny.

They stopped supporting encrypted Linux filesystems and became like one of the services they wanted to replace 15 years ago from my perspective.

The "narrative" is that Dropbox vs. Box is similar to Slack vs. Teams: didn't really "go enterprise". I'm not privy to the real reasons, though.

Just a thought, but maybe your manager does have a goal for these meetings? Maybe checking on your wellbeing, keeping an eye on your engagement etc? I can get a lot from a casual chat with someone. Just because you don't personally benefit from a meeting doesn't mean someone else doesn't.

For my team members, one of my reports started an agenda doc with the things they wanted to talk about allowing us to stay focused, I add things to the doc too and it works really well. When we have nothing on the agenda, we don't have the one on one. It worked so well, I now do it with all of my reports (and the peers and management types that I report to).
Funnily enough our experience has been much the reverse. Hetzner will let us use the 1g dedicated link they promise however we want. Most other hosters will put blanket filters that are too broad or their smart ddos filtering will kick in, which it turns out is not smart enough to learn an arbitrary protocol :)

OVH has consistently been filtering legitimate traffic for us each time we tried them and we’ve tried almost every tier of service they offer.

> The problem is how few people take advantage of this wealth of access and knowledge.

The problem is how a profit-seeking knowledge-enclosing/commoditizing capitalist economy and education system allows the propertied class to control the supply of technical labor.

The problem is that many in the working class don't have a methodological literacy.

"The researchers note that it’s tough for lay audiences to fully understand complex topics [...] They suggest a more sustainable solution for curbing misinformation is helping the public develop a type of scientific literacy known as methodological literacy. People who understand scientific methods and research designs can better evaluate claims about science and research, they explain."

I succeeded in my (UK, funded) physics doctoral program, but nobody else who started in my department the same year did, even if they seemed to be very capable and intelligent individuals. I think one or two managed to convert their progress into MPhil degrees.

I think the absolute biggest factor was supervisor - mine was new, very supportive, and pushed for my work to be relevant. Theirs seemed to mostly use them as cheap engineering labour, and they seemed to spend the majority of their time polishing optical fiber and binning LEDs.

Those that I am still in contact with also managed to get a career in science - this was probably helped a little by the fact they had spent time doing their doctoral program, but I'm sure that while it wasn't a complete waste I don't think the time was entirely necessary either.

I wouldn't go quite so far as "strongly discourage", but it's certainly a decision not to take lightly and you should go into with your eyes open.

Also, from what I've seen, experimental Physics is pretty low on the abuse scale compared to some of the other sciences, so suspect general experience is _very_ sensitive to the particular field you are interested in.

The nuisances are minor. They're enough that if you're just thinking of switching, you might notice them and not do it. But after a while, you forget about them. I couldn't tell you what they were anymore.

And there are advantages as well, such as better autoplay avoidance.
I'm familiar with the idea that "duplicate concepts" indicate that you should have a separate bounded context, from, I think Martin Fowler's blog? This is actually partly what I was referring to when I said hand waving.

It's conceptually similar to answering the question "How do I know where the borders of Germany lie?" by saying "ask the first person you see if they speak German".

It also conflicted with a process I followed, which was to essentially create a team glossary and agree to semantically disambiguate terms which had multiple different meanings (e.g. linux user/website user instead of just user) and even just "ban" the usage of terms which got overloaded too much.

(I discovered that semantic collisions didn't just present problems in code, it often prevented you and your team from having coherent conversations).

This could, of course, then put everything we touched as a team into the same bounded context. Or not...?

>The example in the book given is the notion of a "Charge," which customer invoicing and bill payment departments might both use. But each department only cares about certain pieces of data of a charge

It sounds like they're essentially saying (not explicitly, but via assumption), that your software should follow conway's law.

Nonetheless, this example screams "bug alert" to me, since assumptions made by departments (and, as a consequence software systems) about what they should care about are where the really nasty bugs lie - frequently driven by misunderstanding between departments about terms (e.g. what counts as a user).
Correct, there’s still nothing stopping us from writing the wrong spec or writing an insufficient spec, but there’s really no solution to that problem anyway. And the same problem exists with tests today - you can have an insufficient amount of test cases, or you can write the wrong cases because you misunderstand the requirements.

The difference being, when you realize your tests are wrong, what do you do? Change and add more test cases. You may also need to remove some, because they don’t make sense anymore.

Vs., updating logic in a specification, and that’s it.
I agree. I had a manager who was really hard to pin down for one on ones. Whenever I asked for performance feedback he said I was fine but surprised me with a poor performance score at the end of the quarter and a bunch of improvement points. This is a great way to demotivate an employee, especially when performance scores are tied to bonuses etc. One on ones are a GREAT time to let employees know if they slipped up or you noticed something they could do better in future.
Wasn't my intent. The fact is they are not only operating the pipelines, but also large own parts of the storage.

Germany sold these to them. Goes against my guts, but that's how it is. But theirs is not the only, and not even the largest storage.

So in principle them not owning that storage wouldn't change a thing.

So there are contracts. Which go by volume, and not continous uninterrupted flow. They delivered the volume and some more.

And now it isn't gone, burnt, and 'gone with the wind', but bought by others in anticipation of rising prices,

either still residing in that storage, just owned by someone else, or pumped to other storage, anticipating good sales opportunity.

How would you call that? Clever business? While lobotomizing Gazprom, Russia, whomever?

What's so hard to get about this? They are not the bad actors here.

I am very surprised in this conclusion... Normally if you have two high voltage wires being immersed in water, a large current flows, vaporising the water, and then the current stops when all the water has been evaporated.

For the current to flow for long enough to heat the battery packs to cause a fire, there must have been a jet of water flowing for a long period of time. And no fusible links between that place and the battery.

It really seems like either very bad luck, or bad system design, or both.

That's awesome for teams to focus on just work conversations but unfortunately not enough.

We've completely switched our work communication to a self-hosted matrix+element with SSO, so we can be sure our matrix auth is secured the same way our other internal services are.

However, some of us also have personal matrix accounts which are offline during work hours and corporate accounts are offline outside of work hours which forbids using matrix as an emergency contact method. It would be great to either ability to sign into multiple accounts or an ability to sign into a single space using account other than the default one.

I will add that I recommend the whole "In Praise of Idleness" book from Russell, it's a collection of essays and lots of them are interesting 70-80 years later.

A fraction of the population of the UK are on twitter, but it is used to drive media narratives.

I'm skeptical, as it feels like the narratives are more to do with they are cheap to write about, rather than meaningful journalism.

For example, after black players missed penalties in the Euros, there was wall-to-wall coverage on the BBC about racist comments directed at the players on twitter, provoking discussion on how racist the UK was.

Not until later, however, did people find that many of the tweets were sent from outside the UK.

Checksums, basically, drawing a line between random bytes and structured JSON in a way that comes at zero cost for a human mind (arguably less than zero). We might as well leave out all closing tokens at the end of the stream, in a way those are completely redundant but still worth it for the warm, fuzzy feeling of knowing that you haven't just read a truncated stream.
Not advocating for this decision, but did you investigate Splunk? In my experience, that’s the paid logging service that competes with ELK. It will be expensive, so you have to consider the total cost of ownership (e.g., ELK requires some experienced people to run it at your volumes) but it works AFAIK.
