> AZ Natural Disasters

AZ suffers from heat waves, which are steadily getting worse over time. Last year in a heat wave Phoenix saw several days above 115F. A 115F heatwave is a natural disaster mitigated by air conditioning. Hopefully a heat wave doesn’t coincide with a 2020 Texas sized electrical blackout.

This isn’t a massive problem now, but imagine how bad AZ heat waves will be by the end of his factories life.

Very much depends on what you're utilizing Backblaze for. It's unusable for volume image hosting for example. It has severe performance problems with small files, as does much of the object storage field (including DigitalOcean, they directly warn customers not to bother using their object storage for small files if performance is a concern). The CDN doesn't help much, Backblaze chokes if you try to shovel a large number of small files at it (their infrastructure was not designed for that and they admit it in their docs), and or attempt to pull a lot of small files out of it. AWS is pretty great when it comes to that by contrast, and with the price to go with it. I'm looking forward to finding out what R2 can do.

From all accounts, the F150 EV looks like kind of a good deal in terms of electric cars. What the reality on the ground will be is a different matter. Personally, I have zero need for a car and a fair amount of need for a pickup.

Truth is, it's hard to justify any new car, but then again that's always been true.

For those in PSPS (public safety power shutoff) areas, due to both the reasonably predictable timing and duration, probably the best way to go is a combination of a larger portable inverter generator (in order to avoid the constant roaring) and an interlock to feed the house.
There are tons of interesting jobs in varied locales as well. It’s not an either/or.

I've been working on a lightweight Chrome Extension and it's been really, really frustrating. The documentation is all over the place and it's sometimes unclear what's for v2 vs v3, and there aren't any deep-dive guides for solving non-trivial problems. There also isn't really any tooling for development besides "reload the extension in Chrome and see if it works."

Yes, unfortunately.

While there might be some way around it, every year Nvida gets more and more hostile towards users, you generally need to sign up for GeForce account to use their desktop client in order to install drivers.

I really do like the desktop client, I think every manufacturer should have a nice GUI to simplify installing drivers, there's no reason I need to sign up to use it. They're obviously seeking to start selling services, and the idea is once you become a part of the Nvidia family you'll want to give them more money. Why I'm I still the product once I purchased a product ?

> I'd like to see Google kicked out of Australia on national security grounds.

I believe you make too strong of an assumption of Australian sovereignty and independence relative to the US. Australia is too subservient to the US to declare a national security interest that contradicts the commercial interests of a key US corporation like Google.

No, if anything, the direction is the opposite one with the AUKUS military alliance against China. Australia will take nuclear subs plus Google dominance. ... unless some kind of radical political change takes place down under. IIANM, Australia doesn't have a single strong anti-Imperialist political party at the federal level.

Stack size invisibility in C and the effects on "portability"
Topics like this bring modern attitudes about identity to a tricky spot. A common view is that you aren't defined by XYZ, you can choose your identity and who you are or what you do. In reality, things like lead poisoning have a very powerful and undeniable impact on who you are and what you can do, e.g.

> Slow development of normal childhood behaviors, such as talking and use of words, and permanent intellectual disability are both commonly seen.

> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_poisoning#Effects_on_chil...

If lead is really a widespread problem, and especially if it continues worsening, then we'll eventually reach a point where we need to identify individuals who have been impacted by lead and ideally take pre-emptive measures to help them with the consequences of it.

This makes me wonder how people with more woke attitudes approach other group-specific issues like sickle cell anemia in black people or myopia in Asian and Jewish people. In these cases, being XYZ does define you and the things you're at risk for.
Mostly people peaceably assembling to protest police violence. Sometimes they were just having a vigil, not even protesting. This was big news all through 2020, so the poster probably reasonably assumed it didn't need citation.

Example: that time Capitol police tear gassed protestors so Trump could go have a photo op with a bible at a church. They weren't even out past curfew, but that was the way the police justified it.

Even people who usually defend the police were taken aback by the relatively tame response by the same police to pro-Trump protestors later on before the January 6th coup attempt.

This is fair. For an ad-blocker to be effective today it needs to be invasive, and that doesn't apply to most extensions.

It is too easy to grant invasive privileges to v2 extensions for those that do not understand the consequences. Downloading a whole new browser on the other hand is a far more obvious way of implicitly granting that trust... So I wonder if when push comes to shove, a "uBlocked-Chrome" browser might emerge. To be clear, I am suggesting a uBlock integration project, not a preservation of V2 for extensions.

Fine, I won’t even debate you on that. But that is not economic rents.

What you term “linguistic subterfuge” is anything but. My whole point is that economic rents are not something up for linguistic interpretation. It is a well defined and studied concept, and it doesn’t mean what you think it does.

What you really mean is that platforms are expensive, in that the fee they charge is for their services is exorbitant. But that’s entirely different from economic rents.

"PROPOSAL NO. 5: TRANSITION TO PUBLIC BENEFIT CORPORATION

Shareholders request our Board of Directors take steps necessary to amend our certificate of incorporation and, if necessary, bylaws [...] to become a public benefit corporation [...]. Shareholders request that one of the public benefits included in the amendment be provision of the Company’s viewers with an accurate understanding of current events through the exercise of journalistic integrity [...]"

I thought it was a pretty classy troll. Credit to Matt Levine for the pointer. And in all fairness, the insurgents do put a veneer of reasoning over why it would make sense:

"The vast majority of our diversified shareholders lose when companies harm the economy, because the value of diversified portfolios rises and falls with GDP. While a concentrated holder may profit when the Company inflicts costs on society by emphasizing viewership over accuracy, diversified shareholders internalize those costs."

I’d argue there are plenty of other places in the US that fit that bill, but Intel having built fabs in Arizona for a long time is an important point on its own. Because of local history that’s where expertise for running a fab exists, so they’ll have a better supply of workers if they keep building fabs in Arizona than trying it out somewhere new.

Be aware that using the “+” is giving you the illusion of privacy and control. A privacy research has shown, back in 2020, that companies like Oracle’s Bluekai (a massive ‘data broker’) has functions to normalize email with + in them to help with ad targeting and matching.

Other vendors and companies like FB are surely doing this too, as companies send FB emails for matching / ad targeting.

It just works when it works.

Static devices (as opposed to DHCP reservations) will just (seemingly) randomly stop working with port forwarding, as the router just forgets the device. You can shake it out of that by pinging the device from the router's diag tools, or power cycling the router resolves the issue. Not great for CCTV DVRs/NVRs.

"Smart setup" sometimes breaks stuff, especially IoT stuff.

Your device may or may not just randomly factory reset itself. (I've had one do it twice in three years, to the point where I now save the config.)

It may or may not completely ruin your Sky Q system's reliability if you have more than one box (although I generally advocate wiring them in completely and disabling all wireless functionality anyway).

The automatic channel setting for the WiFi channels is a total dice roll.

The DNS interception rubbish breaks stuff. Most recent example was I was having infuriating issues with Ubiquiti's AP guest portal... Until I switched the BT Business Hub into a dumb modem and put a cheap ER-x in front. Rock solid since.

>The next generation of tracking tech relies on the backend transfer of data between a website and the ad platform, which is invisible to your own network.

But doesn't relying on the publisher's website log statistics instead of the end users' browsers introduce trust and "bad actors" problem? This has been a known "principal-agent" problem[1] for all the decades that 3rd-party ads have existed on the web.

I.e. Google getting onclick statistics from web browsers' Javascript and reporting to Google-owned "doubleclick.com" is different from the server logs of "JoeClickbaitContentFarm.com". Doesn't the contentcreator's website have an incentive to falsify the numbers to get higher payments from the ad network?

It doesn't seem like website self-reported server stats can fully replace end users browsers tracking. Instead, it augments it.

I spent a big portion of my career doing this and it's often not as simple as thinking you can cut your hours in half and now you're free to do whatever for the rest of the time.

For example if you did 20 hours a week, that's 80 hours a month at $200 / hour ends up being $192,000 a year. That's a really competitive and great wage but you'll find it unlikely to be able to work only those hours you want without constraint.

You might want to work 10 hours on Monday and Tuesday and take every other day off, but how are you going to get new business? Maybe start writing hundreds of blog posts and making videos, maybe start a podcast and make some courses or write a book. Before you know it you're working 240 hours a week all-in and feeling guilty if you try to peel back the hours because there's no paid time off when you work for yourself unless you're in the top 1% where you're wildly successful and make huge amounts of money for multiple years to the point where you have enough fuck you money to work on anything you want on your own terms for the rest of your life and drop everyone who requests otherwise.

Plus beyond that, a lot of contracts will expect a drip of input and output, not a massive amount of work quickly and then do nothing for weeks. A ton of my 10 hour a week contracts were doing something small every day, or at least most days and generally being available to at least respond to an email within a reasonable amount of time (a day, but ideally within a few hours). This isn't true freedom. It's freedom in the sense that you can decide which contracts you take on but you won't last doing contract work if you make a habit of letting your clients down.
