If it isn't clear, they acquired the Meta.com and trademarks in 2017 with their non profit: https://techcrunch.com/2017/01/23/chan-zuckerberg-initiative...

And today we see the domain points directly to their for-profit company which they may not have paid a "fair" price. I'm sure it wasn't so clearly planned, but it certainly seems like a conflict of interest.

These types of domains can go for 6+ figures which seems like a drop in the bucket for Facebook.

EDIT: I was mistaken. As several pointed out - The initiative is not a non profit at all. The domain is more of an opportunistic move.

I'm still not sure how happy I would be if my company was acquired with the promise of "making my research search engine free to all" only to be shutdown down and used to help Facebook PR problems and market cap 4 years later.
Almost all generalizations are wrong. Some are useful. This is not one of them.
I understand the anxiety, and I suppose you've already weighted the pro / cons argument ; however, I'm curious about the psychology - and please don't read that as whataboutism.

So, how do you feel about the present problems with our current carbon heavy energy productions ? Are you less anxious about deaths from coal and every catastrophe related to climate change (heat waves, floods, mass exiles, civil wars, etc...) because they feel further in the future than the possibility of an accident at a power plant next close to home ?

I get that those can be blown out of proportion too ; and I get that using death/kWh is rather inhumane as a metric ; and I get that living in a country that had ~70% of it's electricity coming from very-much-non-exploding plants colors my thinking.

This is one of the most interesting comments I have read in months, can I contact you?
I had to laugh out loud when I read that the author openly admits to not being a pianist or a piano teacher... but a physicist. It reminds me a lot of physicists I know who approach every problem with the assumption that they can do it better than people who have been trying to solve the problem long before. On occasion, they are right, but this clearly appears to be one of those other times.

> Good story isn't what gamers are after. Which is good, because they ain't gettin' it.

I emphatically disagree. Good story is what I'm after. Good story is what I've gotten. (Undertale, the Nier games, even Ocarina of Time has a very unique story-telling experience).

A game can tell a different type of story than a book or a movie - these stories are interactive, and involve an element of meta-narrative story-telling. What was that fight like? What was that choice like? Did the choice _feel_ meaningful? The story is told through these mechanisms rather than simply words on a page.

I very much agree that many players come to games for a carnal feeling. A release that comes from the ticking of boxes or completion of objectives, or the satisfaction from a skilled execution.

But these elements as well can contribute to a narrative experience (ex Undertale).

Really disagree with this article. Reminds me of those historical articles about movies being a worse version of the theatre and opera (which they were).
Yeah. Recruiting is the snake oil of the software industry.

Your comment is too vague for me to understand.
I absolutely agree with you that we should not let communists build nuclear powerplants, just as we should not let them build anything else.

As for the storage - Sahara, Gobi, Arizona - plenty of useless land where we can put a few football stadions full of nuclear waste.

Your plan to solve global warming is either based on and around nuclear power, or you do not have a plan to solve global warming.

The problem with that view is subjective value based on financial engineering isn't sustainable, for business investments.

Financial engineering is not sustainable because it cannot compound.

Financial engineering also increases asset risk, as it doesn't reflect real returns. It can take a long time for inflated prices to deflate to the mean PE, but they will. Then someone pays for that.

In the meantime, the misallocation of capital to financially engineered assets slows growth.

Art has subjective value that may, in some cases, compound indefinitely due to the fact that the greater the wealth in an economy, the greater the most rare subjectively valued things will be worth.

There's a huge difference alright.

It was never a good idea to host a public site on one's personal computer with all the sensitive personal data on it where it could be hacked or DDOSed. Even when IPv4 addresses were easy to get it was a very bad idea.

When you factor buying a separate server, 20$ a month doesn't sound too bad.
I'd call this Soviet constructivism.
Whatever is happening there, is quite clear that the COM / C++ folks are driving it all again.

They are so deep into it, that any complaints from .NET devs ends up being that "it isn't so hard to write a bit of C++ with the clunky C++/WinRT, or [ComImport]", naturally the advice people like to get.

Ah and the fact that they push Win32 with bare bones C++, where each developer has to create their own MFC like frameworks, is yet another example how things went wrong.
It's more long term thinking from me: I know that we can reach 100% renewables in 20 or so years, but I'd rather that it's wind/solar/hydro than something like nuclear, that is more volatile in nature and requires continuous maintenance from a capable overseer.

For example, what if a negligent person is promoted to maintenance overseer at a power plant that's several cities across? I have no control over that at all. I'm literally in the passenger seat with nuclear. I have to trust that a handful of people in charge of that plant are exceptional at their job, otherwise we all have a really bad day, and there are no safeguards or precautions that any of us can put in place that will protect us from a meltdown. That's a source of anxiety for me.

Worst case solar power disaster, the lights go out or something like that and I don't personally get seriously hurt.
Indeed the regulatory climate is missing to put the costs of handling nuclear waste onto the producers. I doubt it would be economically viable to operate a nuclear plant if those costs were fully factored in.

You have to consider that in multiprocess scenarios as well, though. All forms of concurrency introduce that problem.
It is already expensive to raise a child, which puts off many of the people[0] who would otherwise make great parents, so I think you need to consider whether your simple tax would in practice mean that only the rich could have children (and whether those people would be too busy "creating more value for society" to focus much on their children's upbringing).

Yeah I don't know where this person was getting that idea.

Almost every good chess player says to play less chess and do more tactics/study.
There is a live ticker box at the bottom of their web page. I wonder if these are actual transactions. If so, it's quite intense to watch folks lose their coin in real time.
ah, too many Metas to keep track of in this new metaverse
I agree and I don't agree :) It is not all about tactics, that is a mistake that I see repeated often.

A difference between 1300 FIDE level and 1800 FIDE level is partly tactics and avoiding blunders, sure. But there is also more positional play, which is a very good addition in your toolbox, if it is even a tool. There is thinking in fields, which can be about controlling one field that is deciding the game, or about controlling the white fields for example, or the seventh row. There is also intuition, which is much more than pattern recognition, but more letting the unconscious part of the brain work for you (inspired by the moon or by god :) ). (edit) Oh, and I forgot about tempo, which is especially important in the opening or during an attack. Gambits are loved for a reason, you give a pawn for a tempo and win the game :)

Also, I feel very much that improvement in chess is often sought in improving someones strong points, because they are the most fun to work on. There are also the weak points that you can work on, which are less comfortable and more confronting, but can be a bottleneck. In psychological sense this works as well.
Security.

I recall a possibly apocryphal story about TCP - namely that it was originally meant to be encrypted. Supposedly it was the NSA who had gentle words with implementors which led to the spec not including any mechanisms for encrypted connections.

So, encrypted by default TCP, for a start.

DNS should have a much simpler, possibly TOFU model to help with the usability elements. DNSSEC is just a nightmare and confidentiality is nonexistent.

Somewhat controversially, I'd ditch IPv6 in favour of a 64bit IPv4.1 - blasphemy, I know, but the ROI and rate of adoption for IPv6 don't justify its existence, IMO.
The transactions in the live ticker are fake. You can see the real wallets/transactions referenced elsewhere in this thread.
Your argument—and I am paraphrasing it in a way that highlights what I fail to understand, as an outsider—seems to be that using race as discriminating factor in order to resolve disparities caused by using race as discriminating factor in the past is better than eliminating the use of race as discriminating factor altogether, and addressing those disparities in an unbiased way (e.g., dispense aid based on wealth, not race).
And Yes, I understand that for each "in" transaction, an "out" counterpart is displayed so I'm obviously only wondering about the "in" ones.

this is so true! my brother started learning to code later on in life, i knew he looked up to me but also, he knew he could ask me for help whenever and i helped him as best as i could, but i get busy working on projects and cannot always answer a text message or phone call. i would see his message later on in the day and listen/read his messages and it would start out asking for help and about the 2nd or 3rd and sometimes 4th message he would have it figured out and i was happy about that because he did what i think is the most important thing when it comes to long term mastery of any skill

he figured it out on his own or was at least was able to recall the knowledge from within. if i would have took over his keyboard he wouldn’t have imprinted that as fast, i heard this saying once and it’s encouraging for others to hear/read as well so i’ll say it

“when you are confused, don’t be upset at yourself, it is a good sign. confusion means you thinking about something new or from a different perspective, and that means you are learning”

For those who don’t understand what it’s doing (like me at first):

You first have to host these index.html and sw.js on a regular server (or use the URL in the readme) and then this service will serve a folder of your choice directly from your computer.

This is if you ran your trusty Python server from the CLI, except you did it from the browser, with an unchangeable host:port

The folder will appear to be published from the server that hosts that sw.js file.

I too, I'm wired to enjoy closed / defined systems. Yet, the few I've read about old EE books, is that the guys managed to analyse and comprehend noisy, irregular systems. Today mainstream computing is still about digital/clean/closed but one day I assume the analog/noisy/chaotic will become a thing in a normal curriculum. It's an easy/shallow prediction but still.
> All the nuclear supply has already been sold and is being constantly used 100% of the time.

This couldn't be further from the truth, at least for France: hover over the lower graphs to animate the source upper graph here:
https://app.electricitymap.org/zone/FR

Every single day nuclear oscillates between 60% and 80%, in strong anti-correlation with wind, solar and border exchanges.

With hydro and pumped storage, this margin is well enough for attending to peak demand. And it is economically viable; This is the thing about nuclear: it costs practically the same wether you're at 20% or 95% of the plant's capacity. You consume your fuel faster, but it is only a small fraction of the cost (15% IIRC). And you still get 0 CO2 emission.

And with current gas prices this is the cheapest solution we have at the moment. (not the cheapest in terms of political will, but educating masses can solve that)
You want to replace highest bidder wins with first in first served? Is that really better? How? This sounds like naive market manipulation, which ends up being whack-a-mole or just a disastrous mess.
Thanks. Wonder why they keep jumping wallets. Are they getting blocked as they go?
Where is the source code for the .webm file?
This was fun to read.
Speculation: they likely jump wallets so in case a victim gets curious and checks the address they won't notice that there are never "double" transactions sent back.

Open to other ideas! Looks like they switch every hour or so.

In terms of "blocked as they go", afaik there's no way to "block" a wallet, so that's not the reason.
> On a side node, if anyone has resource about how to dev/debug userscript properly, I'm all ears. I found it super inconvenient and tedious when doing it myself, and I often have to manually copy paste stuff back and forth.

Agreed. Even stranger is that some errors end up in the console but others do not. Syntax errors particularly seem to fail silently.

If I'm putting together something that I know will be more than a dozen lines or so (or is targeting a page sitting behind logins and extra navigation) I will just save the target page as a local file and write the JS into that file and debug as normal until it's working, then copy the JS over to a userscript.

On a technical note, the first point is not really true. Using atmospheric models like WRF get you pretty good irradiance forecasts that are roughly proportional to PV output. I (very briefly) worked with a group doing just that for power companies in the southwest, and it was pretty decent out to 5 days or so. It eventually got picked up into another program [1] that would contract out to big PV installations.

Frankly I don’t even get the idea why it’s important who exactly forwarded these pics. How is it a deterrent? We know it is Alex, alright. What now? He didn’t sign no kind of NDA in the chat.

Men could also have this issue, if they made explicit pics which could end up in hands of relatives or something like that. Why is it only girls’ one? The entire watermark thing assumes that it’s not just a private photo, it is one that they send to many people from their nudes arsenal, consciously making them, not accidentally under a feeling of the moment. You know, you’re either the one who made a mistake, or the one who sends nudes regularly and are okay with someone finding that out. Picture yourself in a “good” light and there will be no reason to make it “publicly-private”.

"Nuclear and renewables don’t work well together."

If so, you've failed to convincingly articulate how. It's a meaningless assertion to me.

Good point @reginold I am not familiar with Ether but if it's a cold wallet, you are right. If Ether is like Bitcoin and addresses can be derivations, would using these be enough to conceal the overall lack of return transactions?
I also feel like your post is another gross misrepresentation of the problem.

The issue with slow software is rarely the framework itself. Even frameworks like Rails and Django are more than fast enough for most things. If you need absurd performance (for, I don't know, HFT?), then there are other frameworks in other languages. There is no need for bespoke code! Fast frameworks do exist. Also, when frameworks are slow in some parts, someone can just go there and optimise for everyone!

However the issues we normally encounter regarding speed are often caused by convoluted bespoke architectures.

It's always because Database access has to go trough ten, twenty classes, and not only it's slow, it's also hard to maintain, as you lost control over what the SQL looks like. It's always because serialisation requires some crazy Reflection that is several orders of magnitude slower and more complex than a simple "to json" call. It's always because the hot-loops of your sorting algorithms have to go trough some unnecessary only-used-once abstraction that makes the whole hot loop slow.

Java is fast as heck but got a reputation of being slow among users. Also Enterprise Java projects had a reputation of being difficult to navigate and therefore more expensive. The issue wasn't Java: it was the convoluted bespoke architectures that plague it.

It is widely acknowledged by its proponents that those difficult architectures take more time to build. However there is zero evidence that such things help with maintainability. In fact I'd argue that those arcane architectures make it worse for the general-case scenarios of: bug fixing (because more classes mean more bugs and more places for bugs to hide), optimisation (because measurement is harder in complex programs, and optimising often requires dismantling and rebuilding things), adding features (because it was hard to build the first features, it's gonna be hard for future brand new features too) and even refactoring (if the problem is the complex architecture itself, refactoring in parts will lead to a messier program).

So there you go: waste of man-hours and of processors.

So no, the parent poster's complain has nothing to do with the reuse of frameworks or libraries.
Firestore can do that, a DB engine doesn't need to be relational to offer that feature.

In expert level RTS play, if you take even a tenth of a second to think about any decision anytime during the first 15 minutes you will most likely lose the game. After that it gets more interesting but many games don't last that long.

The thing is with most computer games (I suppose games in general) is that you not only have to learn the rules of the game to get better, you must also study and practice the current best strategies to even stand a chance.
The boomer Western is still chained by the shackles of stereotyping.

What probably helps is that I'm running Debian "unstable", which provides more or less a continuous flow of updates instead of dropping a full release periodically.

I have read in theglobeandmail forums comments from some people who think that building battery parks is a great idea, and that it is a huge oversight that solar + batteries aren't pushed as the final solution to all energy needs in Canada.

And they seem as sincere as they are earnest.
It is very hard to argue with that logic. Where do we start? Just saying batteries are really expensive doesn't reach people who want a perfect magic solution.
The Steps method is the official didactic method in Dutch chess. There are different levels. If you succeeded all levels, you should arrive at 1600 FIDE, from there on you can pick up other methods.
