> if private enterprise can compete with that by offering a better product and/or cheaper service, then all the more power to them.

In this case, going off-grid is exactly that: private enterprise offering a more suitable alternative for this use case. In fact, it's the correct solution, because the public should not be required to subsidize the choice of an individual to live in an area not well served by power distribution infrastructure shared across many homes.

It's just like how the government won't pay for paving a long driveway (AKA road) that connects a rural house to the main highway.

Government should only get involved in subsidizing these things when the goal is to scale access to millions, i.e:

- High impact nascent and early stage technology (i.e. EVs, renewables)

- Generational scale investments in human capital and infrastructure that private industry is too risk averse to undertake.

Subsidizing rural home builders to the tune of 80K does nothing for anyone except that home builder. It would be undoubtedly nice for them, but that's not a justification for allowing it.

Check out Amplify! I've heard good things and my limited experience is good so far. (Although running locally isn't the best, unfortunately... but that's always going to be an issue the more you lean on a cloud services.) Deployments are easy. In terms of scalability, it's all massively scalable AWS services under the hood, and it seems relatively easy to "eject" if you ever need to.

At least for the image generation sites, a common approach for performance reasons was to continuously regenerate the content and just fetch the latest one when requested. So they're fresh and do not repeat but are not unique if many users hit at the same time.

How does a deep well extract all along its length? My belief was the production well will experience a gradient (so the bottom of the well will have the temperature you need), and the temperature will drop as you get closer to the surface (which also contributes to the calcite scaling problem geothermal can experience).

Also, I think a lot of wells add concrete casing (or metal, as indicated in the article) around portions of the well, which would prevent extraction around those zones of the well.
In the case of FB, I actually believe having Instagram and Facebook not e2e could be even work, if people are educated and made aware about it, while Whatsapp remains e2e.

Instagram and FB are mostly "public" facing so they offer a big surface for malicious activities. (Scammers, Groomers/People seeking CSAM which are always used as a reason for more surveillance/ Trolls etc.)

Whatsapp is more private and requires knowing one's phone number which ideally should be harder to get ahold of.

Messaging on Instagram/FB could be compared to whispering in a crowded place, private...but not fully private.

In an ideal world this would not be necessary, but there will always be a fight between surveillance and freedom. And perhaps giving up freedoms in some parts could allow us regain more freedom in others, as long as people are aware about it, which might be the biggest hurdle to tackle.

Don't they often argue that government handouts are what prevent people from finding jobs, innovating, or moving to an area with jobs.

I don't think it's too hypocritical to accept government handouts because you need it while at the same time wishing you had a job so you didn't have to take handouts

However not everyone feels that way and they use a very broad stroke when it comes to Government assistance which was referred to by some as "socialism" and later "communism"

This is an unnecessarily harsh characterization. Recipe writers are constrained by economics, just like the rest of us. It's dismaying to see such cruel mockery on an industry forum. You may also want to look into Fundamental Attribution Error: recipe writers are "flawed", in your mind, but do you judge yourself so harshly? Likely, not. You probably excuse your own misbehavior as compelled by transient circumstance.
"Helicopter" Ben famously said that the Great Depression could have been averted by throwing $100 bills from helicopters to pump liquidity into the economy.

I believe the implementation of this concept via the Fed (bank of banks) is the real issue. Basically, liquidity goes to the banks. Anyone having a relationship with banks gets access to this liquidity and benefits. Of course, we plow these "gains" back into assets (hard or stock market), this drives up prices, and we get asset inflation. For the person renting an apartment, leasing a car, and with credit card debt ... well, they lose. The trickle down doesn't work. You can interpolate and extrapolate from this brief comment, and I believe that this is the fundamental source of the expanding rich/poor divide.
> Inflation can rage while no money is printed because velocity surges. Just as deflation can fester while central banks print as velocity toys with absolute zero.

What are some good examples of this? Historically it seems to me like major inflation issues usually coincide with an expanding money supply, not the other way around

The YouTube accounts are hacked. They have an unlimited number of them. I dunno where they get the 5-40k concurrent live viewers.

I, what? Everyone has to eat. A "sin tax" on cheap bad food -- which is presumably cheaper because it's easier to create and less nutritive than healthy food -- doesn't strike me as a policy lever so much as a way to squeeze more money out of those who are already eating shittily for primarily economic reasons. They still have to eat, they'll just pay more for it.

I think we may be talking past one another because you're likely from a country that prioritizes its citizens' health in a way that we in North America don't. "Eating shittily for primarily economic reasons" isn't a purely North American phenomenon, of course, but I note that in parts of Eastern Europe, carrots and potatoes are practically free.
I think these headlines, possibly purposefully, overlook the possibility that vaccine antibodies eased acquisition of infection induced antibodies to the point of being subclinical events.

That is, a vaccinated person could be exposed to a variant for which they are partially protected, not notice clinical symptoms, while the person's immune system still remembers the details of the variant.

As an iterative process, this is akin to software updates (for a running immune system).

So to say that variant A.30 isn't covered by the mRNA induced spike protein antibodies is a very different statement than to say it's able to evade an immune system primed by mRNA antibodies which then re-entered daily life and thereby was able to continuously adapt to variants.
I wonder what folks think of OCI? Does it have a chance to compete against AWS and M$ ?
Probably less "happy with the value" and more "the capital costs of installing something more efficient are too high".
When I said hard, I didn't mean technically. I meant it's hard for Next.js to decide how to solve the problem so it works for everyone. I'm doubtful if it even makes sense for them to try to support every possible use case.

There are solutions available to all of these problems today. You can pick the ones which you prefer or fit your workflow.
Why is this problematic?

The risks as I see it are authoritarian governments figuring out the tech and using it. Or compelling Worldcoin to do their bidding.

Storing hashes in itself doesn't seem like it can be abused. Suppose Worldcoin has a database of a billion hashes, then an authoritarian government decides to compel Worldcoin for some nefarious purposes. What then? What bad stuff could happen?
Exactly. If you want to get fired in a hurry from any utility or large plant: override someone else's lock-out. If they don't beat you into a coma first.
> Is it possible that the heavy mutations detected on the A.30 variant also make it less contagious?

That wouldn't surprise me. The spike is central to how SARS-CoV-2 is so infectious. If the virus mutates the spike too much, it might evade the vaccines, but at the cost of being less infectious.

What's surprising is this research says, in vitro, A.30 is more infectious.

Regardless, as you and others say, in real world conditions A.30 doesn't appear to out compete Delta.

> “When I see a hardware company shifting toward subscription revenue, it makes me wonder if they see decreasing revenue opportunities for their hardware business.”

it’s almost never because of a revenue decline. it’s almost certainly revenue plateauing that’s seen as a problem, in a political economy that simplistically only values ‘more’. i’m sure remarkable could be a good niche business (where niche is many, many millions of dollars), but that’s clearly not enough. diverting limited resources from developing better on-device software to cloud-based software is the telling move here. many companies are capable delivering enough incremental value over time to create a (more slowly) growing, sustainable business without instituting a subscription model (logitech or even pre-itunes apple, for instance).

In this country we have a right to do dumb things and make bad decisions. The Nanny State can't fix every problem.
Whenever you use 'new', you have to decide what is going to 'own' the newly allocated thing. You'll also have to remember to call 'delete' somewhere.

Using unique_ptr/make_unique() or shared_ptr/make_shared() automates lifetime management (obviates the need for a manual 'delete') and makes the ownership policy explicit. They also have appropriately defined copying behavior. For example:

struct Foo {
// lots of stuff here ...
};

struct A {
Foo* f = new Foo;
~A() { delete f; }
};

struct B {
std::unique_ptr<Foo> f = std::make_unique<Foo>();
// no need to define a dtor; the default dtor is fine
};

For the destructor and the default constructor, compilers will generate basically identical code for both A and B above. If you try to copy a B, the compiler won't let you because unique_ptr isn't copyable. However it won't stop you from copying an A, even though as written (using the default copy ctor) that's almost certainly a mistake and will likely result in a double free in ~A().
The incredible thing is a calcified Russian system with access to way too many nukes collapsed within our lifetimes and the West adequately prevented nuclear disaster. We ended up with the current farce of a government as a byproduct, unfortunately.

Could you tell me where you got your data on this? Not because I want to pick it apart, but because I'm in the process of figuring out where I want to live long-term now that I've decided to leave Texas for good, and rate of new home construction is one of the data parameters I'm looking at in hopes that it'll be at least one positive indicator of realistic housing costs in the area.

I'm looking at TONS of other factors as well, but this is a critical one since housing is by far the most expensive line item in any family or individual budget these days. Thanks!
There's a whole cottage industry now of electronic typing devices with no internet connection. They seem to be particularly helpful for creative people.

There's a big overlap between 'making creative connections between seemingly unrelated ideas' and 'easily distracted'. There's a ton of literature out there about how to keep to the craft and not get stuck. Simplified electronic devices seem like a good tool for that toolbox.

The ones I've seen look like a sawed off typewriter with an eInk display above the keys. But there are also tablet tablets that are just a screen with an erase button, not unlike those wax and plastic boards they sold for kids prior to iPads.
From what I'm told, they've been pushing it very aggressively to existing customers, and growth has been slowing over the past few quarters. Pretty impressive all in all, given they had to start from scratch fairly recently
And that is done intentionally by the addict. I can understand a situation when somebody is kidnapped and forcibly injected with drugs/alcohol.
Is creativity going to be the first major human trait upended by AI?

I feel like the trope has always been "But the robots will never be able to express beauty/art/music/prose like humans". However it seems that all early AI is focused on and doing surprisingly well at creative pursuits. If someone rattled off words like this I would be amazed at their creativity.
I really see the greatness of the serverless option. Congratulations!

What I can't really understand is why would someone use the dedicated cluster in AWS at that price.
Next.js still uses webpack. They basically replaced Babel with SWC.
Which is Carbon, because that's what left when you take away the O2 from CO2.

The new service is currently offered for free to people who purchased a device from them before October 12, 2021, if they accept the new terms and conditions. I have to wonder how long that free subscription will last. There is nothing in the notices they sent about how long the subscription will last. There are FAQ entries, which, rather than making any concrete promises, have statements like 'We plan to offer free access to Connect for as long as we're able to. There are things we can't control that might affect this', and 'If we do make any changes, we’ll strive to give you free access for as long as you want it'. This type of change seems vaguely familiar, and I would not be surprised if 'things we can't control' will happen to arise about one or two years from now.

When the change does happen, the new terms of service require you agree that, by them sending you an email with 30 days notice, you'll be deemed to automatically consent to any new charges and fees if you continue to use the service, so you'll probably want to keep a close eye on your inbox:

>reMarkable reserves the right to change the subscription fees or applicable charges and to institute new charges and fees, upon thirty (30) days prior notice (which may be sent by email). Your continued use of reMarkable Connect after the end of the notice period of the aforementioned changes to fees or charges constitute your consent to such fees or charges.

None of this affects me too much, as I've never used their cloud services, use syncthing for synchronization, and bought the device for its (partial) openness, even if that openness appears to have been forced on them by GPLv3 requirements.
I'm not a fan of the US war on drugs (which is not really a thing in Europe), but there is a difference between weed and meth. One may ruin your life, one WILL ruin your life. You argue from a point of abstract principles, but miss that there is a reality.

Just as there is food safety and certain things are not allowed to be sold because it would be dangerous to you or harmful to the world to eat them, so some drugs also need to be illegal. If you don't believe that go and see any drug addict street, or visit a Brazilian slum where the kids waste away on glue fumes. At societal level high rates of hard drug consumption are unbearable and destroy any healthy community. Opium had two whole wars around it as it was forced into the market by Brits and French and destroyed the fabric of Chinese society with entire generations of men disappearing into (legal) opium dens and spending all their and their families' fortunes while wasting away and letting their children starve.

No one wants to be a drug addict and no reasonable person that has a basic understanding of what hard drugs can do can think drugs like that should be legal. Meth, crack and co are a dozen times worse than opium, not to mention krokodil or similar poison that will straight up destroy your organs from first use.

Portugal has taken the right route, with drugs still illegal but drug use not anymore criminalised, so they are getting people off the streets and off the drugs. There is no benefit in locking people up for using, as they 99% don't want to use - they just can't find the way out. But that hard drugs themselves need to be illegal and fought is without question.

Yes, exactly that, and that's what your comment above was doing, no? You reframed fairness as meaning equality of outcome, and framed equality as meaning equality of opportunity. (Equality of outcome = same end-height, equality of opportunity = same ladder height)
Thank you! I used Twixtor which is an AfterEffects plugin that does use optical flow. I do it all in a pre-processing workflow which takes the 189 source panoramic images and generates 756 interpolated images which are about 90gb in size. I then encode them into a WEBM video for distribution which brings the size down to 92mb (lores or 224mb hires). This video is extracted into memory at runtime and the images are then mapped to the background sphere based on where the player moves. Memory intensive but very fast.
