If you're looking for the sexy end of storage, send yourself down the rabbit hole of novel/upcoming NVM technologies. There is a wealth of interesting stuff to read and discover about MRAMs, CBRAMs, PCMs FeRAMs, FeFET, Racetrack memory. For more speculative/further away stuff you can look at DNA digital storage, quantum memory, time crystal memory, millipede rams and holographic storage.

There are some decent review papers and conference talks that cover the main contenders for flash storage replacement and their general benefits/drawbacks as well as some very dense research papers about the minutiae of each if you want to go deeper.

I have a couple a friends that own a pine cone processing plant in Portugal. Yes harvesting pine cones is labor intensive and the end product expensive but I think one of the main reasons price became so high was the introduction of plague in Europe causing a shortage of pine trees and increased cost of pine cones.

They sell under the brand PineFlavour https://pineflavour.com/en/

Oculus CTO: ‘Unlikely’ That Meta Will Embrace Crypto
Many people (myself included) that get PhDs simply love learning. Solving problems is important but for some there is this inner drive to need to learn and master everything. It doesn't preclude solving problems, but it's the acquisition of knowledge that is the internal engine, not the desire to solve a specific problem.
Congrats, could you give a ballpark figure what is considered rich enough nowadays?

Thinking about land required is more familiar to the public. But it does lead to these broad statements about feasibility that don't necessarily match up with reality. Real schemes are just going to be more complex and will look at lots of different factors. There is always a limited funds and you have to pick the best opportunities. That is true of very long running projects like nuclear also. Different sites will have different grid connections, environmental factors, ground conditions, access routes, labour force etc.

Yes, and I have the same issue with videos: 30 min videos with something that fits in 1 written sentence. Ugh. People are so afraid of reading (or are just very slow readers?); many even here won't read beyond the first line of this comment and if they comment, they comment only on that line often).

But... this does not apply to this post. It is not that long, not low density and does not have fillers or sugar.
I personally very rarely actually go check out what is linked on HN, due to mostly using it on internet connections with very restricted speeds.

Show me the statistics that relate CEO pay to long term company performance (we all know they can influence short term value easily).

The studies im aware of show that quiet CEOs perform signicantly better than star CEOs on the long term (admittedly that is not equivalent to pay).

Anecdotally company performance does not change significantly with change of CEO.
> The USB-C one cable for monitor/power (that works consistently) dream never materialized, let it go Apple has.

What are you talking about "never materialised", or "Apple has let it go"? Apple has been selling a one-cable solution in their own display (XDR) for 2 years, and in third party displays (LG UltraFine) for as long as they've sold computers with Thunderbolt3 ports.

On top of that, there are numerous other brands that make USB-C (either plain USB-C or Thunderbolt) connected displays as well.

Does that mean every display you can possibly buy will have USB-C input, and that it will use USB-PD to charge/run a laptop? No of course not. There will always be less featured items in the market.

But just like the companies still shipping PCs with PS2 ports, or displays with nothing but DSUB VGA ports - a few outliers not including modern ports doesn't mean the industry in general is not moving forwards.

This is absolutely not what causes most bubbles to pop. Pick any major bubble, it did not pop because suddenly we produced more of some thing.

You said you didn't even finish the second episode. If that's not what you meant, chose your words more carefully.

Tortured analogies ignored: you declared the series to be absent something that has been present in spades in the latter episodes and you still don't realize how that makes you look.
I just finished building a personal version of my remote browser product but it hasn't been that successful or made me much money. I turned down 150k a year remote job couple of months ago in order to protect the IP for this project but since the project hasn't been as successful as I wanted I'll be going back to work in the new year. But for the last 2 months before that I want to finish one project I neglected a long time--adding full text search and a new better interface (among other features) to my web archive tool--and I want to try to quickly hack out a new project--a Scribe clone, because I really like what they're doing and it's close to the RPA collaboration tool I wanted to build with my remote browser; tho I'm going to have to build it as an extension--before I return to work, which I really don't want to do! I don't know if either of these are going to be successful nor make money but I just want to finish the neglected and try my hand at a new project as another bet to try to get that success that I want.
What is PhD research training? Are there any good indicators you might be a good researcher, without yet a full background in the discipline? What what be some of those qualities needed and sought for takin in my a professor. For example, say you just have an undergraduate degree in CS, what might be some ways to show you would be a good candidate without yet having written any publications.
...and that's the dilemma. Did the market rebound because there's a organic growth of buyers, or did printing tethers out of thin air help this?
You could do worse than Russian literature. I did the opposite, moved to Russia instead of pursuing a career. Looking back, your order of doing things makes more sense...
I guess I did the right thing: Atlassian IPOed in 2015 at $21, despite everyone suggesting to cash out, I wasn’t interested, and I sold only since 1 year between $180 and $320, and kept 1/3rd. BUT it keeps climbing, $480, so you aways feel like you’re missing something, whether you sell or not.

There is no right way of doing it, you’ll never sell at the top. At least the right moment is when you can use the money for a project.
it's still true that once you lose a drive you want to pop in a new one and resilver, it just reduces the risk to have 2 spares/parity drives instead of 1.

my array is relatively small and it still takes like 24 hours to resilver one drive. pretty brutal.

my current risk mitigation strategy is to have one spare in the array, and then have one 'warm spare' in the nas that is not part of the array and is instead a target of scheduled backups of the whole array every week. that way if i somehow lose another drive in the array while resilvering is in process i'm not totally screwed. (if my NAS could hold more drives I could do both, but more bays is way more price...)

naturally I also backup to the cloud. but you gotta have a local solution too.
Germany's basically the same. I've lived here 20 years. I went to a liberal arts college in the US. Shortening the time to getting a PhD is the only argument I could make for the European system vs. a liberal arts system. German even has a word for people who are knowledgeable in their field and nothing else: "fachidiot" (literally field-idiot). Even aside from being a well-rounded individual, the number of times it's helped in my career that I had to take university-level general education classes is huge.

Even with my liberal arts background, and having worked in pretty mathy areas of industry, it's rare that I, say, have to use much from my last two years of CS education. (What they did prepare me for is getting to the point that I can read research papers in areas I've since worked in.)

To be clear: virtually everywhere in the US a CS curriculum takes 4 years. There's no deciding in year three and graduating on time. You could potentially switch to CS from engineering, math or physics and get close.

In Germany at least, in contrast to the US, there's no coursework in a PhD, which I believe is the main thing that makes a PhD shorter than, say, a US PhD directly after a bachelors degree (which is typical in the sciences).
Thanks for the kind words.

In principle I'm absolutely in favour of releasing it to the public. To be sure: do you mean the _content_ I create in the video or the _videos_ themselves (I wouldn't mind both, but just to clarify).

One of the things I want to add later are downloadable resources: PDFs with the drawings or cutting templates, so people can get a head start with e.g. colouring instead of having to do the drawing first.
Regarding plant based “meat” why are we trying to fool our selfs that we are eating meat.

We've spent several thousand years optimizing our cultural history to tell ourselves that well-prepared and cooked meat dishes are the peak of cuisine. To just throw that away and start over would require ignoring practically everything we believe about food. It could be done, but it would be difficult.

It's very likely that there's even a genetic component - we've evolved to enjoy eating cooked meat. I wouldn't be at all surprised that we really do, at a provable scientific genetic level, prefer it to vegetables.

People just like meat. If we can enjoy the experience without the moral and environmental side effects that's not a bad thing.
The main problem in academia is that worldwide those who work a 40 hour week seem to be far less common than those who work, or claim loudly to work, more than 100 (particularly at the earlier career points). I'm lucky enough to have gone beyond the point where I sleep in the lab, but I definitely have done so.

The OP should be able to do a doctorate part time, and in Europe that is definitely doable. The funding and the practicalities are very much subject specific, but it does take a long time -- and is very much a labour of love.
IMO this is a complaint most people have BEFORE they go vegetarian (or start trying to reduce their meat consumption). Then they realize that it's very convenient to be able to mimic existing recipes and maybe prepare the same meal for vegetarian and non-vegetarian friends and things start to make sense.

Also there are many meals in which we enjoy the form as much as the material (i.e. they're fun to eat or nice to look at) -- burgers, hotdogs, meatballs, and the choice is to either give it up completely or ... eat the floppy disk.
One’s willingness to stick around determines the split. If workers in a given job will work for $x, there is no need to pay more.

You know this is true as you are watching a situation where workers will no longer work for $x play out.

The difficulty in keeping one job filled is not dependent on another job. The difficulty in hiring a janitor does not impact the difficulty of hiring a software developer.
Facebook failing to protect users from Covid misinformation, says monitor
This is for enterprise level storage. As you've said the resilvering time is too long unless you're using something like object storage with a whole cabinet to eat the reduced EC shard availability. But the good news is that you have access to enterprise level storage for your data that you want to make sure is durable. Use cloud storage.
Vipassana is great. I went to a retreat in 2017 that I fully credit with putting me on the path that led to this current situation. I've been trying to enroll in another 10-day course for the last year, but they fill up fast and I've yet to make it off the waitlist.

If you want to code in Pascal, you know where it is. Pascal was designed for fast, one-pass compilation, and its compilers don't have to do nearly as much work as Haskell compilers or even C compilers. Of course you could go even further and use Forth, but then you are doing even more work manually that the compiler could be doing for you.

GHC's compilation speed is in the same category as G++, which isn't great, but we users are mostly used to it, and deal with it by standard methods like separate compilation.

Some of the other issues you mention (such as crashes) are more significant, while some (IDE integration) are mostly a matter of the hardcore users not caring that much. I'm not that hardcore myself, but I was satisfied with Emacs Haskell mode until it broke a few releases ago, and even now it's fine for editing Haskell code, just not for running it inside the editor.

I'm involved, I still think people are falling into a psychological trap comparable to a Ponzi scam. I was also involved by holding TSLA, still think that's the same kind of trap. I just think this kind of trap can possibly be sustainable the way gold has been the past couple thousand years.

Anyway I think you're projecting a bit. It's the people who are reacting to the claims of it being a scam that are emotionally invested. Obviously because they put their money into it.

I've never seen anyone emotionally claim Bitcoin is a scam, it's usually just a plain statement of fact. They'll calmly argue it as well, though it's a hard argument.
"should be"
That's a subjective opinion. What if people who read the news want to read it like an art gallery?
> real meat ballpark hot dog

I agree with you, although if a "ball park hotdog" is what I imagine, I doubt it has much real meat. It is probably protein and coloring. I think in the USA they can call it mechanically separated meat.

A friend worked at a protein extraction plant here in New Zealand. They extracted the grey goopy protein from animal offcuts for the "fake sausage" industry. Just about any unused animal part was used. In New Zealand a real sausage has to contain at least 50% actual meat.

According to this book[1] war rockets were used in India at least as early as the 14th century, and mughal emperor Akbar used metal-headed ones in the 16th. So it would seem neither rockets nor metal ones were invented by Tipu. However it doesn't answer your question of who did invent the war rocket :-)

I think the article has one fundamental mistake.

"The miners' massive hashing work does not go into creating the bitcoins, but into stamping the ledger to (allegedly) secure the record of past transactions."

This part is false. Each new mined block brings into existance new bitcoins. So hashing power is not just used to validated the new block on the ledger.
Technology is a verb. Technologies are means to ends, so that technologies act on some precursor to produce a result. Or rather, sets of results.

All technologies include a combination of intended and unintended consequences, of greater or lesser apparance (or manifestation), occurring nor or far in time, and with greater or lesser ease in explaining or describing.

Positive consequences of technologies exhibit diminishing returns in most cases (networked / dendritic mechanisms are the exception). We see leaps where new specific techniques, materials, fuels, or processes are first applied, but then virtually always a decline in further growth. Even network-based technologies are subject to various impedences and at best grow more slowly than naive models (e.g., Metcalfe) would suggest.

And as technologies become established and embedded within processes, practices, institutions, and cultures, dependencies develop such that interactions are more complex.

Which is a long wind-up to this: in time, the early prompt-positive impacts of technolgies are dominated by both prompt- and delayed-negative impacts. Pollution, corrosion, health effects, disruption, cognitive overload, and fragility amongst them.

Early nuclear designs could focus on the simple and immediate. Longer-term projects had to take into consideration additional concerns: the effects of fuels, waste products, and radiation on materials themselves, natural disaster risks, the frailties of human organisations (a major factor in the four major commercial plant accidents, and countless minor ones), containment, economics, and more. Early visions of running unshielded reactors to power aircraft proved ... slightly less than viable.

Maybe it's not fun. Maybe it requires a more mature mind. Maybe the layers of bureaucracy and politics and checks and balances that evolve, even if suffering from their own dysfunctions, have to be there. And can only do so much.

Galt is an adolescent fantasy, not a model for the real world.
What sort of straw man response is this ? I never said USD is preferable. I said that fiat currencies are not ponzis.
The market rate is determined by what employees are willing to accept vs what employers can get away with offering. The employees just demonstrated that they're no longer willing to accept what they are currently getting. The market rate just went up, I'd say.
Ha! I've considered it and if I found the right woman and we had a relationship that was in the right place I'd definitely do it. But starting a family seems like one of those 'slow and steady wins the race' type of situations.
Taxes arent that bad, it’s only considered a capital gain when you sell or exchange. So not really any worse than crypto generally although potentially annoying if you don’t keep it in mind.

As for the legality, I don’t think there’s much risk of them being declared illegal or anything. Eventually the space will be more regulated etc and most likely yields will decline but it’s still better than you’re going to get in a money market account or with bonds or something like that
EU Professor here.

You're right, expectations are very different in the "old continent". Things very quite significantly from country to country, but generally speaking in most EU you can do your PhD while working.

Retrospectively, knowing what I know know, I should add that if I were to start a PhD now I wouldn't trust a university that asks for a full time commitment, no exceptions.

I would be very suspicious that they will burden me with all kind of side activities (e.g. tutoring undergraduate students, handling bureaucracy, paper work, etc.) that are not really of any actual help towards the thesis.

As a professor my view is that PhD students should have quite a lot of "free time" to explore, try different things and fail as many times as possible, with the highest degree of freedom allowed by the domain in which they work. I think that that's at the core of what academic research is all about.

If you don't need lab equipment or anything that requires in person training, I'd say to go absolutely for a remote position as a PhD student. It doesn't really make a huge difference if you can do everything you need in front of a computer.

If you can do your PhD fully remotely, the two most important things are how respected and wel known is the university in which you enrol, and the tutor that will be assigned to you (don't underestimate this!).

Best of luck!

PS you're definitely not too old, and not too settled, as long as you have "hunger" for understanding how things around you work!
Well said.

Learning takes time. The speed at which info flows between chimp brains may increase, and the quantity of accesible info may increase, the formation and rearrangement of chimp networks may happen on a button click but the chimp is still a chimp.
A fellow PhD student here.

Come to Sweden (or, rather, Nordic countries in general). There are a lot of opportunities as an industrial PhD student. There are at least 3 out of 10 PhD students in my group doing research while still working in the industry. Usually, the deal is 80% PhD and 20% industry, but I know someone doing 50:50.
You are without a doubt a public figure if you put yourself on social media. Many people have warned against oversharing and have stated that people will want regulation when they get exposed to the negative side, the reason why PR agencies exist. But these laws would affect everybody.
