Do you know some sources for the net footprint of electrical cars? Including the lithium problem and the power source.

I'd really like to run some formula in Python and see the footprint of petrol vs electric cars in terms of CO2, lithium, obsolescence time, other gases, maintenance etc.. (possibly with some parameters such as the composition of the power sources of the grid in your place).

Until I see that I feel I am being scammed by everyone since I don't have a good grasp on the data.
I agree that publicly available large datasets / statistics become fairly rare below the 1600, above that level they are fairly common.

But anecdotally, I once messed around with a bunch of large datasets for the purpose of comparing high-level play to lower ones, and the statistics weren't spectacularly different. Yes, the results are essentially far more random the lower you go (especially below 1800, where play is essentially a lot less accurate), but draws are still fairly common at the 1600 level. If memory serves, top-level games had around two-thirds end in a draw, while at the 1600 level, it was basically down to one third. Not what I would call uncommon, though certainly no longer the dominant result.
ProShares Bitcoin futures ETF to launch Tuesday
The article is by Steven Sinofsky who was at Microsoft at the time, who absolutely knows what he's taking about, and extensively documents the state of Windows portables right alongside the Mac. How is that "taking away context"?
In most area's of the US these traffic camera's are owned, operated, and controlled by a private company who use a revenue share model with the local city.

Have you been asleep because people are absolutely using crypto to move money internationally and legitimately. Governments, exchanges and banks have been working together to update the rules so that reporting is done correctly, that’s why we have things like KYC.

Essentially the idea here is not to muck about with diffs or event / command based sourcing.

Just store each internal state you might want to recover, in full. Except use compression to store the states you want to recover. In this article, the compression is done based on the 'initial state'. I imagine there is flexibility on maybe 'checkpointing' some states once the difference becomes to big. Maybe do the compression not with a prefix of the 'initial' state but with a prefix of the entire undo history.

All this requires is halfway efficient serialization / deserialization implementation, and access to Zstandard (I guess other compression algorithms also work).

I think the key trick here is that, if you can serialize to bytes, you can just use compression methods as a replacement for storing diffs or other complicated methods for de-duplicating data. This could be a really powerful method to really easily keep a state history without high performance cost.
From the developer p.o.v. its like you have each previous state at your fingertips. Whilst in reality the compression ensures it is stored efficiently.

L0phtCrack has been decreasingly relevant in the past 10 years or so -- it wasn't available for awhile and some free tools are similar so you were basically buying the rainbow tables -- but if you were in security in the Windows 2000 or Windows XP era, you know of this tool. There was a lot of discussion for years around and about password crackers after rainbow tables became a thing.

It's not like not knowing what Wireshark or nmap is, but it is like saying that you've never even heard of Kismet or John the Ripper. Or like being a DBA for decades that never heard of Informix. Or a programmer for "decades" that has never even heard of Delphi. Like what were you doing in the early 2000s to have completely missed the death of Borland and Pascal and the popular variants? These are big enough events in the industry that if you're in it you're going to be aware of it.

I'm not sure why this comment was downvoted. I've read all the systemd documentation and this comment is spot on. System is lacking good documentation along the lines of "the least you need to know to setup and manage a service".

No, it's not as easy as "man systemd.service".

What's probably most useful in that documentation is the "hello world" example, which is buried at the bottom of the documentation. Also, key details are elsewhere, in "man systemd.exec" and "man systemd.unit".

The systemd docs a great comprehensive reference, but the man pages are poor introductory documentation.

Some useful tips that are hard to find:

* man systemd.directives documents every directory and will tell you which man page as the full documentation for it.
* man systemd.index lists every man page related to systemd.

> It always was a way to easy money

Tell me again how Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Apple and Facebook were "easy money"

The devil personified in here, Mark Zuckerberg turned down the most "easy money" ever. 1 billion in cash for a couple years old company with an unproven business model, very few paying customers and no moat to speak of.

You gotta choose one, if extreme luck is involved in the process then it's not "easy" because it could have gone the other way as well, and the protagonists knew it too, but still decided to step into the arena.

We all know what happened to Digital Equipment which was the "easy money" company for the longest time.

Kodak? What happened to that "easy money printing machine"

Xerox anyone?

The reality is that you either die as a hero or live long enough to become the villan.

So now the villans are Bezos, Gates and Zuckerberg. Jobs and Allen died so they are the dear heroes who we miss and things would be much better if they were here today.

Musk is the hero charging on his white horse right now, but unless he OD's on that pure cartel coke he snorts or blows up together with one of his rockets , I expect the tide to turn against him violently and suddenly.

Then it's the turn of the crypto guys such as Brian Armstrong and Vitalik to have their moment of glory, and on and on and on.

Seconds? What libraries are you using?

I develop professionally in PHP but use Python for most of my personal projects, and for scripting text files. Sometimes I'll feel a few hundred miliseconds' delay and be surprised, but unless we're talking about a loop that probably should not loop seconds is a long time.

So true.

I've been very fortunate to have mostly great managers throughout my 12+ year career, managers that actually care about their staff (as humans, not just fungible resources). In fact, that's why I joined AWS 5.5+ years back, a great manager (plug for @thomas_cantrell). On the flip side, I left because of irreconcilable misalignment with my previous manager.

As a huge Hayekian, its simply not.

You have government guided utilities and fake markets with fake pricing plus lots of intensives.

There are externalizes all over the place and there is strange mix between public and private that is hard to understand. Solar still gets incentives when they produce energy at negative prices for example. Fossil fuel has a huge negative externalize, and while I believe free market often produces good solutions for externalizes, it doesn't work on a global scale.

So you have issues on the traditional prices, you have the subsidies renewables that are pushed by mandates (ie you have to deploy 30% renewables) and in addition to that, renewable just use the grid as storage and let the grid provider worry about the problem and you have nuclear that is essentially blocked from developing.

Dispatch-able power is vastly under-priced in most markets.

Markets work if price intensifies carry real information, and in electricity markets have to many structural problems.

What should be done is what NASA did for space station supply. Select 5-10 competitors for next generation nuclear let them develop different concepts and go threw a multi round process where the company and the regulator learn, you end up building 3 and then promise at that you are gone order min. 3 more reactors from two of them. That would actually get nuclear in the market in a real way.

The crazy thing is that the government actually HAS the money to run this competition. Nuclear reactor providers have paying into an account for a long, long time. There are billions and billions available but its just a political issue that its not happening.

For better or for worse, energy is something government has been deeply and fundamentally involved with, 'the market' will not converge on the right solution in this situation.

I was a lowly undergrad polisci major at the time. I never demonstrated but it was clear as day to me that the preemptive invasion of Iraq would not be the cut and dry operation it was sold as -- and I can prove that I'm not claiming 20:20 hindsight because I kept the essay I wrote after hearing conservative NYTimes columnist William Safire speak at my school promoting the invasion in the weeks leading up to it. An excerpt:

> "His discussion on the war with Iraq is where I most disagreed with Mr. Safire. He spoke almost exclusively in terms of logistics and not potential realities. To him Iraq was a threat pure and simple and the United States had the obligation, the right, and the capability to neutralize that threat, with or without the UN. He offered troop estimates from potential allies in Turkey and the UK, and the explanations of the military superiority of the US as if anyone in the audience was wondering if the US had the means to militarily incapacitate Iraq."

And the concluding sentence:

> "Safire said quite effortlessly that Saddam is a threat that must be neutralized at all costs, but he doesn’t think the costs will be all that great. If he and Bush are wrong it will be one of the greatest political blunders in recent history."

Everyone knew that Iraq was a war of W's choosing and was mostly motivated by the influence of Cheney and Rumsfeld. The doves were uniformly against war as anything but a last recourse, and the idea of starting one on shaky pretenses was abhorrent to us. What we didn't know ahead of time was that the pretenses were even thinner than we imagined and there weren't in fact WMDs, which made the whole thing all the more farcical and tragic.
I you don't leverage performance related features of a CDN (mostly cache), it's more a security layer. It won't improve performance until you get your hands dirty or ask a professional to tune it for you (and maybe you did).

A global DNS resolver may decrease performance, for instance it can give poor results on DNS based load balancers.

Some websites that I have trialed in the past year are so persistent and annoying with their update newsletters and feedback requests that I consider them spam. It's even worse with small services where the founder will try to stalk and cold-call me and I have to tell them to F off on the phone ~_~

Also, most websites get hacked sooner or later, so even if they themselves are tolerable, they might leak my data to spammers.

As such, I treat everything asking for email address or phone number as an adversary. I usually setup a new username alias per service. That way, I can reconfigure the address to become a spam honeypot should the occasion arise.

For example, I'm getting boatloads of spam to my old Adobe Creative Cloud login email. I must have been included in one of their security fups.
I think the "heroin" comparison is needlessly dramatic.

"Over-tourism" as you describe it is just one possible symptom of excessive capitalism.

There are many nice spots with tourists, and many ways to ruin a place without any tourists when regulations are lax or poorly enforced, e.g. privatization and massive price increases in the crucial infrastructure, or reckless industrial projects.

And some things are just dumb traditions. Of course Oktoberfest sucks for the locals, but so does new year's eve in Berlin if you dislike continuous explosions until dawn and rockets flying horizontally. Tourism doesn't change the nature of these events much, just the scale.

Many other big economical sectors are also highly dependent on a small set of factors that could quickly change and cause ripple effects when they go down. This is not unique to tourism. Think e.g. the decline of Detroit.

For those who aren't aware, bus lanes like this are often the only roads passing through city centres in the UK. The surrounding area is often a pedestrian area, with the only traffic being buses, registered taxis and emergency vehicles (delivery and utility vehicles are allowed in the early morning). The alternative route for regular traffic would be a few miles longer - which could mean 30 mins or more at rush hour.

Think the whole argument on both sides is a bit extreme, traditional planning permission should consider whether a building proposal/modification is in keeping with the character of an area, this being just one aspect means its application is dynamic and can change with the times and needs for the area.

This comment doesn't make any sense. I don't see how Cloudflare publishing the source code to their own hosted s3 service would help prevent lockin when an open source alternative to s3 is out there with hdfs. While s3 is a proprietary system, Any programs you write to operate against s3 can also easily be migrated to other object stores (Azure ADLS, Google Object store) with relative ease.

The thing that keeps people locked into s3 are egress/bandwidth cost. Until Cloudflare came along, no hosted object store (Google,Azure, including self hosted HDFS onprem or in the cloud) had economical bandwidth/egress costs.

> Liberals (at least in US/Canada) used to be the one who would care about working middle class and their living conditions.

This confusion is understandable, but liberals never cared about the working middle class. Its just that in the US, the democratic party is a big tent of liberals, socialists and progressives, and the other side is a big tent of evangenicals, libertarians and conservative.

The ones that (claim to) care about the working class are the socialists. Liberalism comes from the French revolution, and is exported to the world through Amsterdam (appropiate in this topic!) and its value system is the foundation of modern day capitalism and enterpreneurship by free individuals (no matter how you pray or what you say) in a republic (every vote equal). So standard, you take it for granted.

You find the same disconnect between values in the other tent. Libertarians preaching small government for a republic ticket, even though every republican president has ended up spending more money than any president before.

One of the big downsides of first-past-the-pole is that a political world simplified to just two sides, doesn't do most people justice. Don't vote for the democrats if you want socialism. Don't vote for the republicans if you want libertarianism.

Evangelicals and progressives on the other hand, can do bussiness with the liberals and conservatives, since what they want isn't incompatible. Liberals hear progressives talk about 'inclusion' and they hear 'more customers' (hello, rich gay couples) or 'cheap labour' (hello, poor immigrants) and they get all wet in their stock portfolio.

Sidenote: If you ever wonder what America would look like when its just libertarians and socialists having to come together .. its called Burning Man, where autonomous libertarians feed socialist hippies, without liberal transactions or conservative judgment.
