We can safely assume that. First, if the deployed mixture of generators is the cheapest mixed solution devised, there's money to be wasted "by idling or scrapping generators", since by definition that would increase costs, not reduce them, so it would be an irrational step to make. Second, opportunistic consumers not included in the base load can take advantage of these peaks, to the benefit of both sides (generators AND consumers -- consumers get power for peanuts and generators get some extra money they otherwise wouldn't get), for example for charging BEVs on demand -- and you'll need lots of power for that.
Thank you, I did not see that discussion!
I have to agree with most of those, with two exceptions:

- Marijuana isn't really on the same axis. It only becomes the same axis once you allow _all_ drugs -- cocaine, opium, etc. Once you ban one drug, government has control over which drugs are legal or illegal.

- You don't need to align 100% to be an outlier in a given direction. Zoning, gun ownership, freedom-of-speech, and a hundred other issues collectively make up this particular ideological axis. No one will align 100%.

The point, though, is that small-government freedom-loving is a core part of the Texas identity. It's what Texas is about. It's strange to see it this far distorted.

Mandating masks or vaccines by state control? That's not Texas culture.

Preventing businesses from making such mandates for their employees? That's also not Texas culture.
Yeah, prototypes are probably the wrong use case for React or TypeScript because they can crash without causing someone $X million in revenue (by definition; if it can cost someone $X million in revenue, it's no longer a prototype and the team maintaining it probably wants stronger guarantees than what native JavaScript provides for proper use of APIs and data handling if they ever want to sleep at night).
"Of course, the consequences of climate change are billions cast into abject poverty"

The only way to end climate change is to have a serious debate about population control. But no one wants difficult debates (at least people that matter). Nuclear fission once pulled off will make things much much worse. I foresee a population explosion into areas once uninhabitable.
None of these groups has the strength to put their money where their mouth is and go Amish.

Fun fact: all the nuclear waste that the US has ever produced fits in football field at a height of 30 feet.

Currently, spent fuel just stays at the nuclear plants because there is so little of it and it's not a problem. You just put them in sealed casks and they sit there. You don't really want to lose access to the spent fuel either because if you develop breeder reactors that spent fuel is now just 'fuel'.

The only functional FOSS call recording app for Android that I'm aware of is the Call Recorder app on F-Droid:

- Call Recorder: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.github.axet.callrecorder...

To use this app, you'll need to root your phone using Magisk[1] and the install the Magisk module for Axet's Call Recorder.[2] Then, upgrade the Call Recorder app to the latest version in F-Droid. Note: do not enable "System Mixer Incall Recording" in Call Recorder, since it is not needed and may cause issues with recording.

The default dialer and contact apps are both FOSS and functional, so I never felt the need to replace them. Signal can take over as the default SMS/MMS app, and there are alternatives with more features such as QKSMS:

I only half joke when I ask, when you break a cryptogrpahic hash, does it mean that now it's just a really amazing compression algorithm, but with a very heavy compute requirement? The non-joking half is speculating what data compression in a post-quantum compute world looks like.
We just published this post, which covers a few things around how to tell if your site is sharing data with larger ad networks. It's often hard to tell, since the integration you normally setup is only with a third-party publisher, but you need to ask some specific questions to really understand if your users are being tracked.
Do cars pay for the possibility of crude oils spilled in the ocean? Was the Deepwater Horizon insured for the full amount of dealing with the disaster? Does coal energy plants pay for future diseases of people breathing air from their chimney? Does wind turbines pay for people that suffer from low frequency sounds and solar flickers?

All energy sources have uncertainties. We've been using much much more dangerous energy sources than nuclear. So the question is yours; why do you assume the worst only for nuclear when nuclear is the only source that is preparing for the worst?
Why haven't we rained hellfire upon them by now? They only have a bargaining chip because we have tied our own hands. This situation could be resolved in a day.

I don't have a good answer either. I understand public health at a national level is about being pragmatic and doing things that actually work, and I can honestly understand if they acted the way they did to try and give hospitals some lead time to stock up before the masses did. But even if this was the case, they have not told us about it, and continue to deny that anyone ever said not to mask up. The tweet[0] from the surgeon general was deleted. The CDC page[1] has been taken down. So not only did they lie, they are now lying about lying, and I'm not going to forget that the next time I'm told to "trust the experts."

Minefields are a nonissue for a modern navy.
There are legal protections on products like generators and water.

Scalpers on consumer goods are just providing a market correction; rather than having the goods go to the lucky few to find the product on store shelves the product goes to the highest bidder which in theory who deriving the most benefit. The alternative is the only way to get a GPU/Console would be to wait in line the longest which would make GPUs unavailable for people who need them for work, research, etc.

It's not like scalpers have a monopoly on the GPUs, they are competing with each other while incurring their own marginal costs so it is unlikely that the scalpers would be capable of raising the price above the 'real' market price.

The GPU market is the prefect example since all the evidence suggests that the GPU AIBs and distributors are inflating the prices far before scalpers buy the cards. You can tell this is the case because the only models widely available are the higher-tier SKUs of each card type.

You can argue that a market in which there are scalpers is ripe for corruption, collusion, etc. but those are separate issues.
By the time I finished my Ph.D. in 1997 I was stone cold certain that SVM's were equivalent to NN's, and that 3 layers could do anything. I saw Y.Lecuns work on handwriting and thought it an oddity. I gave up on machine learning as I thought it was all done and concentrated on applications.

In 2011 I was staggered to realise what a load of bollocks I had been bongoogled into believing in, and annoyed.

I am never going to fall for the "if we assume x, and y and only talk about this bit of the system then it's all the same" line again. It may be mathematically nice to prove things with simplifying assumptions, but the ICML community basically walked up a blind ally because of this desire for rigor and elegance in preference to reality.

ML is not mathematics, because it's tied to data, and data is a product of nature. The study of nature is Science. This is the difference between String Theory and Physics, and it's the difference between Computer Science and ML as well.
I would consider graphite moderators under the umbrella of salt facing components.

High Ni alloys such as Hast-N have their own issues - mainly radiation induced Ni -> He embrittlement and tellurium embrittlement. That being said, they are very promising.

> Why is a victim a person but the actor is an inanimate object? They don't say "car hits bike".

The car physically touched the bicyclist, hence "car hits cyclist". The driver did not physically touch the bicyclist, hence "driver hits cyclist" is inaccurate. "Car hits bicycle" is accurate but not the most relevant fact to report (unless nobody was riding it at the time?).

I'm not sure why this point has not been discussed in this thread. Maybe my understanding of English is insufficiently advanced, but "driver hits cyclist" literally implies to me that one person punched another, not that the car crashed into the person riding a bicycle (although this can generally be inferred from the context).
Hospitals are not run or funded by the state, so that wouldn't make sense. Northern Idaho and Western Montana have long relied on hospitals in more urban Spokane. But times like these show a huge disconnect between public health policy (to keep space in ICUs open), and states that rely on ICU capacity in other states and so aren't worried about conserving it.
Thank you. Much appreciated. :)

Yes, mission accomplished, because the red sea will continue to harbor marine life in this scenario. If we don't, everyone in yemen will starve. The port used for international food aid will be blocked with oil. The impovershed fishermen will have nothing to catch.
Exactly.

The future of whether or not fusion becomes the next big thing will be watching the LCOE for fusion plants vs everything else.

It is interesting to compare fusion plants to fission plants in this regard. Fusion fuel extraction is much cheaper, fusion waste byproducts are minimal, plant failure risk and mitigation is much much cheaper (no fallout, no long live nucleotides etc), and the energy cycle produces 10 - 20x as much energy as fission.

Edit: And when things get going you can get around Carnot Efficiency by converting the high speed particles directly[1]. This experiment was built at LLNL as well and shown to actually give > 50% conversion efficiency.

I'm running GrapheneOS on a 4a right now and it's smooth like butter - maybe you needed to wait for a few updates. The camera has improved a lot as well but is still not close to the stock google camera.

Thanks I'll look into that. Deterring the casual scraper would be the goal basically, make them work enough that it's not worth the hassle in respect to the price for legitimate access as a motivated and technical person with a lot of time would always get to extract data which is shown client-side.
This will likely be controversial, but tech like bitcoin is a big step backwards from payment systems we currently have.

All the rules and regulations were created because someone was bad enough for people to agree on a rule to prevent something from happening again.

Block chain money loses all of those protections to stop a bad actor from, say, a hacker draining your wallet with no recourse.

So we find ourselves back to step one. I do think it's inevitable layers of regulations and rules will crop up, either from governments, or power holders requiring layers of smart contracts to respect transactions.

It will just be a matter of time till the modern banking systems "port" themselves onto the chain.
For what it's worth, nuclear energy kills fewer people per kilowatt hour than any other energy source, including solar and wind. This is as of 2012.

No, because reversing the hash has infinite possible answers (well, "very many" for bounded input size).

I told my district that I could change my race at-will via a hidden form on the profile page. I changed it to "Purple". Got a call back from some IT guy telling me I accessed their computer without authorization, and that if it happened again, they'd press charges. I asked to be put through to the IT administrator, and he laughed and told me don't worry about it... Sometimes, they can handle it well. Very glad they did for you as well :)
all 50 states prohibit private militia groups. https://www.npr.org/2020/08/30/907720068/are-citizen-militia...

"...But one thing is consistent - all 50 states have some provision in their state law, whether it's their state constitution or their state statutes, that prohibits private militia, private paramilitary activity. And that's also the case in Wisconsin. In addition, many states, including Wisconsin, prohibit private individuals, untrained, unaccountable to civilian authority from taking on official functions - functions of an official public officer like a police officer without any authority."

The poster/hacker actually addresses this -- he doesn't reveal himself until after graduation, keeps his fellow hackers secret still, and mentions that he was most likely the prime suspect in the district anyway. Seems like a fair tradeoff if he wanted to make this blog post, though school districts could be nasty and litigious, I guess.
>Living creatures are a source of CO2 too, and a big one. Look up for a share of greenhouse gases coming form agriculture.

CO2 emitted by horses comes from the food they eat, which is absorbed from the atmosphere in the first place by the plant when it grows.

And a ton of the greenhouse gases from agriculture come from using oil, a major component of that being from tractors and crop dusters (which wouldn't exist in a horse-only world).

Nuclear is the safest form of energy generation we have today when measured in deaths per unit of energy produced.

Nuclear kills 90 people per terawatt generated, rooftop solar kills 440 per terawatt. Hydro kills 1,400 and wind kills 150.
Also 1 MJ = 250 calories. So like a pizza slice.
The HSV-2 Swift, formerly an original proof-of-concept ship for the U.S. Navy’s Joint High Speed Vessel program, was gutted by explosion and fire when Houthi rebels attacked the ship off Yemen Oct. 1.

Operated by the United Arab Emirates, the 321’x88’x11’ Swift was transiting the Bab Al Mandeb strait between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden when it was struck at night. Gutted by the attack but still floating, the vessel was moved to Eritrea for salvage.

It's always fascinating how dramatically different schools can be. When I was in high school, in the late 1990s, nobody would have cared so much about something along these lines. At worst it would have resulted in a three day suspension from school and lecture from the principle.

> Ethereum nodes can in theory filter modifications to the smart contracts they execute.

This is the crux of the point, and as far as I'm aware is incorrect. A transaction to change a smart contract must be signed, a node cannot modify a transaction. A miner can in theory refuse a transaction to change a contract, but the only way to reliably prevent a change is a 51% attack. A node could refuse to accept a change, but it would fork the network and the node would be running a non canonical chain, which makes it pointless.
> ICE engines were miniature engines that also ran off of a fuel source (eventually settling upon oil, but many different fuel sources were considered

Fun fact - Rudolf Diesel's first engines were running on cooking oil. In fact, many diesel engines can operate on vegetable oils without modifications (not long term though). That sounds odd, but from the perspective of "burn hydrocarbons to generate heat", petrol, diesel, oil, body fat, coal or kerosene are all very similar to each other.
As others have pointed out in this thread, why doesn't india create their own tiktok or instagram instead? Just clone them if they can't come up with something new. Neither instagram nor tiktok is rocket science. The value of instagram and tiktok isn't their "technology" or algorithm, it's their users. Why is india ceding their entire market to an american ( or chinese ) company to begin with? Love them or hate them, at least the chinese leadership are competent. What are india's leaders doing? At least when the chinese ban foreign companies, they build up their own homegrown champions. I thought when india banned tiktok, they were going to do the same. Instead, they just handed over the market to facebook.

I feel so dumb when I read kids doing these things. Back in High School all I knew was how I could run arbitrary executable files by renaming them to calc.exe. We also did the classic "take a screenshot of the desktop, set it as the wallpaper, then remove all icons and the start menu" thing.
As other commenters have said, this article largely appears naive on how contracts work. Looking past that, the main thrust of the argument is that if "the market" wants things like chargebacks and censorship, then there will exist large blockchain "startups" that fulfill that need. They also make the argument that such a progression is likely inevitable.

What they fail to understand is that is not important. What is important is that blockchain enables people to vote through their choices. If they prefer decentralization, they can have that. If they prefer centralized features, they can have that. Until blockchain, it wasn't even possible to have the choice of decentralization because it simply technologically didn't exist. Crypto-hopefulls believe this choice will better society. Maybe it will, maybe it won't. But even a subset of society can benefit from having more choices. Just because your candidate loses doesn't invalidate the benefits of having a democracy.
> It isn't the benevolence of the baker that puts bread on your table.

Farmers are often very proud of the fact they're feeding people, and I'm sure the same is true of bakers.

Given how often people seem to donate crops and food, I doubt you'd much of support for charging the desperate high prices for food, even from the people who stand to benefit.
Not sure if this solves 100% of your problems, but this seems like it could help a bit https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/typescript-console...

Also for me, the benefits of a statically typed language on a large team heavily outweighs not having TS in a chrome REPL. It's not even close. Maybe your use case is different, but for me it seems like you're missing the forest for the trees.
> Also needs to be replicated for npm, cargo, maven, docker, ...

All these frameworks come with a tool to run an internal repo/mirror.

There are also commercial offerings (like artifactory) that cover all these languages in a single tool.

For python, just set PIP_INDEX in the CI environment to point to the internal mirror and it will be used automatically. It's very easy.

By default the downloaded wheels are cached in ~/cache/somewhere. Isolated builds don't benefit from it if they start with a fresh filesystem on every run, consider mounting a writable directory to use as cache, the speedup is more than worth it.

FYI: that QR code thing is The world standard for configuring an RSA soft token.
Compression algorithms must encode data in a reversible way, which hash functions can't do in general.

For example, SHA-1 outputs a 160 bit hash, which means some input of 161 or more bits will definitely have the same hash as some other input of the same size. Even smaller inputs may have collisions too.

Camera sensors have the same amount of noise regardless of ISO. It's just that bigger or better-engineered sensors have less noise period, so less is revealed as you raise the gain (ISO). I might have written a little about this: https://ko-fi.com/post/What-the-heck-is-ISO-A-sensitive-ques...

The ideal for this would be an old sensor with lots of noise since anything new would have very little visible at any ISO. Maybe even the sensor in the camera they use for the lava lamps!

A lava lamp has the benefit of being fully analog. There's no way to exploit it to make it predictable without physical access to mess with the chemistry to make the blobs stop moving around, and you'd have to do it to all of them without anyone noticing the blobs stopped blubbing. The camera on it 24/7 would make this a bit hard.
