I don't even know how hard a project has to fail to make it an "unsuccessful launch".

Feels like launching something will always be seen as a positive. Or are there examples that say otherwise?
It’s only a plus for the customer in the short term. It kills the companies doing innovation and optimizing the products. Sure it makes the current crop of products cheaper (and lower quality bc Amazon basics often mimic the top product but with cheaper parts) but it puts the innovators out of business. Amazon is too big to care about innovating on small products and too big to do it well if even if they did.
I don't claim this is unique for nuclear? The same is true of all big infrastructure projects, although I don't see how that is relevant as a counterargument. These costs are the current reality, so that's what I base my opinion on. I'm interested in the actual cost, not the theoretical cost cause it's the actual cost that will ultimately impact us.
Ah, sorry I missed this. This is true in general, but I'd like to be able to control whether, and in what way, I 'load shed' comments. I also don't trust the design priorities of Twitter's logic which selects for me.
Giving money to both corporations and to individuals destroys the motivation of both to do better. When corporations go bankrupt, it seems like a sad event, but in reality it is clearing market room for new entries to be able to start up and take share. Instead of allowing corporations to go bankrupt in the 2007 market crash and in the 2020 market crash, we have given them massive government handouts. This shuts down entrepreneurs and make sure that walking dead corporations keep going with their terrible practices.

The same thing happens when you give individuals handouts, whether those handouts be in the form of pandemic aid, welfare, or social security. They're less motivated to work and often just don't.
Separate experimenters making claims to the same results is in itself a form of evidence. Believing otherwise requires either

Apple's argument is basically, "It'll be chaos!!!"

But...

We don't have to wonder what it would be like. There's been mass use of platforms that allow "side loading" (AKA, just regular installing) and "third-party app stores" (AKA, just regular buying software) for decades.

No, it hasn't always been pretty.

Yet it just hasn't been that bad either, and the benefits have proven to be very substantial. There are incredible amounts of great software available that doesn't fit in to Apple's idea of what ought to be allowed.

And it's not like you can download with confidence from the Apple App Store either. They play a cat-and-mouse game with malware constantly and there's been plenty of collateral damage.

I think there's no question third-party app stores, or just direct side-loading would lead to a lot of new great software, without a ton more risk. I think the weakness of this argument document show that.
What's your point? Every road with mixed traffic is going to be responsible for the death of pedestrians. If pedestrians were on highways they would get killed there too.

These roads aren't ideal but they're everywhere because they're cheap. Unless you can wave a magic wand and make municipalities rich enough to carpet bomb everything with traffic lights, dedicated turn lanes and sidewalks there are going to be tradeoffs.

People who set their primary goal to making money and being on the crest of a wave often just can’t resist. I was invited on a call for a new crypto related project and talking to these people is so freaking strange. So many red flags and irrational reasoning, clearly driven by this desperate greed and fear of missing out.

Lots of those people have absurd amounts of money now. But I simply couldn’t live in imaginary world every day just to make money. It repulses me.
I was the one who devised those labels and it was hard to come up with the words to describe the temperature ranges (we also report the raw temperature range for each category, so you can remap the words as you please). I did my best, looking at a variety of sources and relying on my own experience, having lived in a variety of climates myself.

The one that I was quite confident would be widely agreed upon was "freezing", since it has such a literal meaning of a temperature where water freezes.

But as with all things weather, its complicated. Personal preference, clothing choices, activities, all contribute.

But we hope the fingerprints are nevertheless and informative and interesting way to explore the average weather!
Granted, I've never submitted an app to the App store (outside of work) and I do have some serious reservations about how Apple runs the store, but I actually like the fact that the only way to slideload apps on the device is to jailbreak or compile and install the app yourself (provided you sign up as an apple developer account). I think the lack of officially sanctioned slideloading keeps the device simpler, and in my mind that's more secure.
Just look at the personal savings rate. It shot up from less than 10% to over 30% and now back down. This was the stimulus checks which people pocketed and used to buy financial assets. That's another form of inflation but the "good" kind that us rich capital holders like. Eventually this money will re-enter the market and push up prices for every day goods.

Also official inflation rate isn't based on a fixed basket of goods, but changes. For instance, if chicken becomes more expensive, they weigh beef more. But pretty much anyone that's been to a restaurant in the last 6 months can tell you that prices are up a lot more than 5%. I guess just eat out less, right?

If we could just concentrate them in some kind of camp, it would make their administration so much more efficient.

But seriously, it creates serious ethical questions for our country. If someone is a public nuisance, has no place to go and no caretakers, no money, and the only alternative is jail, should we or should we not involuntarily commit certain people to mental hospitals or facilities to help them get clean, get counseling, and keep them off the streets?

Is it impossible to set up such a system with transparency reports, an adversarial watchdog for rights and patient advocacy, etc.?
Since this article we're commenting on is from 2017, I think that the article you're linking (which hit the front page) is the reason this is posted.
By taxing the income he has to generate to pay off the loan. And yes, we should close the intergenerational loopholes.

Also, this is not as huge an issue as it was made out to be. Check out the actual income and taxes paid by some of the billionaires. It’s not clear why they would need to do the infinite loan trick on top of that.

TBF, we never really _paid_ off the WW2 debt.

We started to use GDP vs Debt as the measurement tool to avoid actually paying off debt instead of endlessly servicing it. It didn't take much time to convince our 6-year-old selves that we could just endlessly service more debt when GDP grows and to grow more GDP. Obviously there's no bad if taking debt causes GDP to grow, and GDP will always grow, so debt should always grow, because more GDP!
It sounds like they implemented some Spectre/Meltdown type security feature involving cache invalidation that are 'currently' unnecessary for AMD. For some reason none of the articles make it clear if it's only seen on Zen 1/2 or if Zen 3 is affected since the memory topology of Zen 2 has caused issues in the past.

This is quite bad considering how Microsoft was upfront about Windows 11 being better designed for Intel's Alder Lake CPUs which have two distinct core types. So it's incredibly weird that Windows 11 would interfere with AMD's preferred core technology since it's comparatively normal. It's pretty obvious that regression testing on AMD platforms just wasn't done.
Similar for the Z80...

There's an FPGA soft core called nextz80 that's supposed to do 4x more per clock cycle than a normal z80.

Those mandated apps still go through App Store review. Apple’s point is those entities would bypass review if they could.
>That one I think you got reversed. Think that one through, the economy now is way greater than it was in 1980, do you really think we were better prepared for the switch back then?

I wasn't clear. We become better prepared to switch but the switch itself becomes harder. The 1980 economy was smaller, therefore it would have required fewer renewable energy sources to replicate using only renewable energy. Sure, renewable energy is more available today than in 1980, but that's due in large part to people since 1980 being willing to invest in something other than fossil fuels, despite the lower margins.
I feel like most people see the art dealing world for what it is: a clout-chasing game that’s basically a scam. And I hear some NFT people take the stance of “yeah art dealing is a scam, but it’s going to happen anyway, so I might as well make some money.”

Which is all well and good in a sense, I’m not gonna cry over rich people spending their money on bs. But it’s also the case that if you take this position, you do abdicate any ability to advocate for NFTs as something other than a scam. And if you try and flip this around and argue that “art dealing is a legitimate business actually”, people will (correctly) look at you weird.
Thunks, Sharing, Laziness: The Haskell Heap Visualized
Every generation is “overwhelmingly progressive” in it’s youth. But move to be more conservative when they age.

Look at the US in the 1960’s. Those same hippies and radicals own $1M plus homes in CA and oppose any change to zoning laws that might let undesirable live near them.
Yes and no. Much heavier footprint, mostly the same proprietary bs, somewhat faster and much better debugging/simulation tools. Languages have improved somewhat, and as long as you stay within an eco-system and use the vendor supplied tools and software you should be mostly ok, stray outside of that (for instance: open source toolchains for cutting edge FPGAs) and you'll be in for a world of trouble. The fabrics (got a) lot larger and there are some more and interesting building blocks to play with. Higher switching speeds.

Someone who is more active in this field may have a more accurate and broader view than I do.

Is one of the most recent and - for me - significant developments. Note that for companies that use FPGAs none of the above is considered a hurdle, though their engineers may have a different opinion and that the hobbyist/hacker market for FPGAs is so insignificant compared to the professional one that the vendors do not care about catering to it.
Five years is not the only thing -- it's also summer prices, whereas the other peaks were during very cold winters. Natural gas is very very seasonal, so winter gas and summer gas are different commodities almost.

This is a common misunderstanding. As a percentage of GDP, debt did go down. But the US government didn't actually paydown the debt. The debt notional more or less stayed the same. The ratio decreased due to GDP growth and inflation.

Fairly well, there are issues, but otherwise, it seems to be fine.
>After 4 years they'll either not get security updates or have to switch to Linux.

To be fair, Windows 10 will be 10 years old at that time and their PC will be over 11 years old which is an eternity in technology time. 11 year old HW is not very energy efficient and is often vulnerable to various side channel attacks that need SW mitigations which make them even slower. Newer HW is more secure, while being more energy efficient to boot. Even if Microsoft would continue support for ancient hardware, the chances are Nvidia and AMD would drop driver support for what they consider to be legacy hardware, like they alwasy do.

I also keep my 15 year old PC (Core 2 Quad) going for my parents but I moved it to Linux as I can't expect Microsoft to keep supporting such old hardware for free forever and at some point, the SW and HW industry have to keep moving forward and that sometimes means removing support for legacy stuff even if that means cutting some users with old hardware off (they still can keep using their systems after all, just not run the latest and greatest SW).

Is Apple doing better officially supporting hardware overs 10 years old?
Yes, popular movements get the terminology wrong, but the intention is correct. Dopamine is obviously a critical part of neurochemistry that isn't nearly as populist-simplified as "high or low".

But these movements and discussion groups get the intention and method right - much of modern economies is encouraging compulsive habits in one group of people by another for economic gain. Much of human progress is around getting us the things we want as easily and as without-resistance as possible. This is catastrophic for our sense of individual purpose and direction, but policy isn't set by something so unempirical
Not really without moving the price of the stock. You can try it yourself by trading some illiquid securities. It goes with anything you trade - if you trade enough you move the price.

It's also not working capital, it's just a personal asset - albeit unrealized gains. Taxing unrealized gains is like you paying taxes for an increase in value in the house you purchased. Until you sell the house, you may not have the money to even pay it.

Fun fact: Microsoft never said this. Instead it was picked up by the media somehow and Microsoft simply chose never to correct anyone on it. My source is the Security Now podcast.

Researchers and scientists are absolutely not elites. However, they almost exclusively rely on the ruling class for their funding, for their platforms, for their careers, and thus they become de facto toadies of the elite.

Just go see how well the ruling class is treating the doctors that are actually fighting covid on the front lines, showing it's a treatable ailment, saving lives. Since their perspectives don't align with Team Elite's clear agenda (inject everyone, boosters forever!), they are ridiculed, shamed, relegated to alternative or "low status" press.

Betting your future on your partner is the whole point of having a shared household. You and I must have a significantly divergent of what a positive relationship looks like.
You still seem to be missing the point. The problem is that the SHA-1 hash is one of 2^160 possible values, while a 1GB plaintext is one of 2^8000000000 possible values. That means that the hash disambiguates your message down to one of 2^7999999840 values.

Let's go smaller. Let's say our plaintext is a single kilobyte. One 80x25 terminal's worth of ASCII. Knowing the SHA-1 hash narrows our search space, yes, but the search space is so absurdly large that it only solves 0.0000... (insert over two thousand zeros here) ..0001% of the problem.

It tells you basically nothing.
Taxing wealth acts as an incentive to spread the shares around the company instead of hoarding them. Don't want your wealth taxed? Let the workers enjoy the fruits of their labor.

The same goes for ~90% brackets. Don't want your salary to be taxed at such a high rate? Put that money into R&D or worker's paychecks.
They were diverting water from regular farms in the Sacramento delta to almond farms. The delta farmers were naturally upset.

The diversion was actually being pushed at the federal level, but Sacramento successfully fought back.

Almonds also do not respond well to periods of drought since the trees need to be watered each and every year. Annual crops can be rotated based on water availability.

I'd say the replication crisis on its own has brought a lot of progress at least if you count disproving the existence of many effects that were accepted 20 years ago. Similarly, some effects have replicated under more rigorous experiments (even if typically with low effect sizes) giving us more confidence they are real.

Have you looked into Spark? There are managed Spark options on AWS/GCP (for example Databricks). Spark lets you do exactly what you are saying.

Define minimum/maximum number of nodes, the machine capacity (RAM/CPU) and let Spark handle the scaling for you.

It gives you a Jupyter-like runtime to work on possibly massive datasets. Spark is perhaps too much for what you're looking for. Kubernetes could possibly be used with Airflow/DBT possibly, for example for ETL/ELT pipelines.
I'm not sure if I understand your question. I simply suggest that people should be paid using one time tax income by the state instead of being paid by newly printed money. Of course the taxes need to be targeted at people who have enough money to pay it and not at people who need it.

The problem with your reasoning here is that your two options are replacement by "a taliban-equivalent", or a slight limitation of their power. I think you've vastly overestimated the risk of a naïve population to government while underestimating the benefit. In my view, the U.S. government's propaganda system is essential to its survival in its current form. It uses it to maintain the war industry, to justify its spending power, to preserve the stability of the currency, to ensure the election of tame officials — there's a lot to lose.

How do you determine someone is arguing in bad faith? I'm not asking how do you determine that a bad faith actor exists somewhere but on the individual level, which is where we all exist, how do you know? Is everyone who disagrees with your individual personal view of science a bad faith skeptic? If not, how do you sort them out? Is based on how much effort was required to convince you of a particular POV? That should be something greater than zero, otherwise you're acting on faith not science. Should everyone require the exact same amount of evidence? And what about the situations where you believed something to be true but later found out you were wrong? Were you acting in bad faith all that time or were the people who were ultimate correct acting in bad faith until you agreed with them, at which point they were arguing in good faith?

Bad faith actors exist but the bad faith label appears to be an overused and a lazy way of shutting down debate. Not everyone who was skeptical about the link between smoking and cancer worked for the tobacco companies or were addicted to smoking. How often are medicines we're told are safe taken off the market because it turns out they're not? Are people who were skeptical of that safety bad faith actors until they were proven correct?

Why are there "scientific" subjects for which skepticism automatically bad faith? What is the criteria for being able to question the mainstream dogma and still be considered arguing in good faith? The people who proposed the possibility of a lab leak were not long ago considered to be arguing in bad faith. How did those arguments one day suddenly stop being bad faith arguments?
