No. By the time it bites, it will be too late to do anything other than adapt. And there definitely won't be money for long term morally driven projects like cutting co2 or nuclear in general (which is more expensive than pretty much any other power source)
In all these "the government is out to get you" stories I never understand the motive. The government has no incentive to kill you, quite the opposite. Dead people don't pay taxes.

The government is also completely incompetent at leading a normal, above-board project, so do you really think they'll be able to successfully lead and keep quite about a nationwide conspiracy?
OO isn’t a disaster.

What we have learned however is that it’s not the only way to do things.

10 years ago the accepted wisdom was that the only way to program was object oriented.

Thankfully there is hopefully a broader acceptance now that other ways of programming such as composed functions are also great ways to program.

Program in whatever style you like, or whatever your team decides on. Be happy and don’t force your religion on others.

ah yes, I was thinking of wave energy sorry.

Actually, yes, that would indeed be a good use of the concept - anchor the generator to a submerged bouey (so as to not disturb shipping) and it will always be pointing in the right direction and generating. Nice!

I don't know much about this, but apparently Oxford and Cambridge have a history of taking graduates with humanities degrees (i.e, not anything STEM) and training them in computer science and programming. Other students who end up working for tech companies in the UK come from Imperial College or a school where they were in a STEM discipline.

Oh, we don't even meet face to face before you write code. We setup a time where you have X hours open and then we send you an email with couple different assignments to choose from. Then we expect to have your code email back to us within X hours.
thats correct, thanks!
Yes. In fact, if one if being cold hearted, you can say that it could be worth it if we limit the consequences to only "x" accidents with "y" victims.

After all, climate change kills a lot of people, we only have to kill less.

But the problem here is that climate change is not shocking to people. But a nuclear accident would be. In fact, 2 of the 3 nuclear disasters we had are burnt in the collective memory for ever.

So strong action to prevent such accidents are also needed as a communication measure, to reasure the population. Given you are "anti-anti-nuclear", I think it's a good step to reduce the "anti-nuclear" sentiment.
And yet as I understand it, France is looking at starting 6 more of the EPR design. Though we don't know specifics, that's the only thing that seems possible to build at the moment, unless you are saying EDF has designs for newer versions, which j have not heard about.
I've found that overall, for public transport, HERE maps is a feasible alternative in most cases, here's a quick example of how a route might look (though there is a mobile app available as well, IMO the performance is much better than Google Maps'): https://wego.here.com/directions/publicTransport/Riga-Intern...

Now, of course, Google probably still has more real time data in this regard, especially since it's possible for them to aggregate it due to a large amount of users and so on.

It would be nice to have more FOSS projects pop up that would deal with providing company listings and reviews on the map like Google does, as well as would provide more real time transport information as well. But hey, at least OSM gives us a really good starting point, the rest is a matter of building it and getting the data!

France has a tidal power plant that has been running since 1966 [1]. They did not build more for whatever reasons (environment, sites, nuclear power).

It seems that the modern options would cause less environmental impact than what they did at the time, which was to build a dam across an estuary.

That's fair but at the same time, Linux and Free Software is now in the hands of *way* more people because of WSL. If you want Free Software to grow, you need an audience and people who use it every day, and having an extremely Accessible way to do that for lots of people is only a Good Thing for Free Software
I remember the tests in university where everything was allowed (books, notes and sometimes even internet). They were feared because it meant the topic probably would be a difficult edge problem. It was only the good and engaged profs that did these tests though, guess it is a lot of work to come up with new questions.

Everything allowed Math I + II ate the dreams of students like candy.

Still, even if you are good at math and have all the tools at hand, you still had to develop a general understanding of the topic since otherwise you would just be way too slow to work through the assignments.
I get the "trickle-down effect", new ideas, engineers, etc. tend to get around but I remain sceptical that this will lead to the same incredible perf leap in other products. The iPhone with it's chips has been around quite a while the Apple Watch a bit less so but Qualcomm's chips still seem significantly behind. If this is wrong please do correct me, this is just my observation.
> Taxes

Keep in mind the graph shows only state taxes, and does not include federal taxes. Though it's interesting all the same that the rich pay less (as a % of their income) - does anyone know why?

> The more expensive the neighborhood, the more funding goes to the school

Schools also receive funding from state-wide and federal taxes [1], so much so that [2]:

"on average, both Black and Latinx total per pupil expenditures exceed White total per pupil expenditures by $229.53 and $126.15, respectively. This is anticipated due to the strong relationship between race and poverty (Reardon & Owens, 2014) and the increased federal funding targeted toward students in districts with concentrated poverty"

To say I was shocked when the world-class, esteemed professional journalists at the New York Times omitted this very pertinent fact that even I, an amateur and foreigner, know, would be a severe understatement.

It's even worse than this, because they don't even have gold (or bitcoins in this case), what they have is an IOU for bitcoins on a bank account (at Binance): this is fiat bitcoin and it has even lower guarantee than fiat dollar, since Binance is far more regulated than a regular bank.
That according to the FBI, black people commit 5-10x the violent felonies of white people, per capita.

They’re a uniquely violent demographic and it’s unsurprising that their arrest statistics don’t match other demographics.

The statistical differences are a result of that underlying difference in rate — rather than anything about the police. No change in police policy except ignoring violent felonies committed by blacks can fix the underlying per capita imbalance.

And no — that’s not a race thing, as shown by recent African migrants and other immigrants. It’s a cyclic poverty and crime thing… but that doesn’t change that there’s a correlation between violent felonies and race.

A correlation that gets carried forward into arrest statistics.
I don't understand why the instant reaction of 99% of people is : non-employee = bad

There is a reason for having employment and not. If you're not employed you can stop working at 2.30pm if you feel like it, or work at 4am if you want to (maybe in the case of food delivery, not).
Some people like and want this.

Well done for all the workers right obsessed people who seem to want controlled and restricted work times and pay for everyone, with no flexibility. Because no-one wants flexibility apparently in socialist paradise.
I don't think that's necessarily true in terms of QOL. Some European cities are very expensive to live in when you factor in taxes, like Zurich, or real estate, like London. Other places in the US, especially outside of San Francisco, NYC, Chicago, Seattle, LA, &c. are quite economical to live in if you're making the standard US-scale engineer salary and working remote from somewhere less urban (or let's just say less "sexy" in terms of lifestyle). It really depends on where you're talking about, so I don't think generalizations like this are all that useful. But I do think you're right that if we're talking about maximizing total comp, the US is where engineers are going to gravitate.
So now we have to ask for user consent (installation time? first run?) and respond accordingly, adding another piece of UI... but it will only take an hour, right...?

> I don’t think this is JavaScript specific.

It isn't, any relatively dynamic language is going to have these or similar issues. Many moons ago I saw similar examples in bash, I'm sure they are possible in PHP, ..., ..., ...

In fact, even the more strict languages probably do to: the “accidentally run something malicious via care-free use of exec” is an issue in just every language that has “exec”/similar - it is a data trusting error in the programmer's logic not an issue with the language itself. The dynamic nature of some of JS's syntax is just one way to pollute the data being fed to exec amongst the other sources (user input, being too trusting of config in the DB or filesystem, and so forth).

Javascript is a very good option to use for examples though: most devs know it well enough and it is everywhere so the potential scale of the danger is obvious, even more so in light of people being far too trusting of dependencies pulled via NPM and the recent examples of malicious updates getting into common packages.

Maybe the title could be a bit less click-baity, though I'm not sure what would be used instead that wouldn't be overly wordy for a punchy article title.
> Why can't installing software on mobiles work exactly like on desktop?

I don't understand, you just tap an APK file and hit "install". Is that really different? You need to click a single button to allow the file explorer/browser app to show the install popups, but that's it. Just don't buy an iPhone if you want control over your phone.

If you want to get fancier, get an alternative store like F-Droid or one of its competitors. XDA-Developers once had its own app store built right into their forum app.

The reality is that Apple has been badmouthing installing software as "sideloading" and convinced their customer base that if software doesn't come from their store, it's obviously evil and malicious. Google has ridden the app store wave, not saying much but certainly not speaking out against Apple.

Now they've managed to condition users that installing apps using alternative methods is either bad or complicated, so the end user doesn't want to do it. That's a problem between you and your end user, and I don't think there's a good solution for that.

I certainly don't think Android should remove the security popup for installing downloaded APK files because malicious ads would start smuggling apps onto your phone like crazy. The button "allow this app to install other apps" is fine to me, as is the popup that says "are you sure you want to install <x>".

> The simplest energy storage solution is your hot water heater. Turning on everyone's hot water heater when there is surplus electricity, and turning them off when there's a deficit, is a very low cost solution.

This is available in the UK, using a thing called the Economy 7 tariff on electricity [1]. You have two sets of circuits on this plan. One set is the normal set that provides electricity 24/7, so you get expensive electricity when the rate is high and cheap electricity when the rate is low. The other only provides electricity when the rate is lower, such as at night (the 7 in "Economy 7" refers to 7 hours of cheap electricity at night).

There are water heaters designed specifically to work with this [2]. They have a main heating element that does most of the work, which you connect to a circuit that only provides power when the rate is low. These tanks also have a boost heating element that is on a 24/7 circuit meant to just provide any extra heating you need for hot water use during the day.

They also have tariffs that provide a fixed rate 24/7, which should be cheaper than Economy 7 during the day but more expensive at night, so whether Economy 7 saves you money depends on how much of your electricity use is at night.

This might be the worst technical assessment format I've ever heard of. I really don't get the reason for adding time pressure to this. You're combining the worst elements of take-home assignments and whiteboard interviews.

Why not send people the assignment and ask them to return it within a couple of days? What are you gaining by limiting it to hours and turning it into a remote exam?

I think the Makani documentary does a good job explaining the problem in less than 2 min [1].

Regarding the size x quantity, I believe the reason lies in where the best wind is, which is usually high above the ground. The roughness of the terrain and obstacles generate shear and turbulence, which translates into more stress for the components. The higher wind has a more uniform distribution across the rotor and is higher in magnitude than in lower heights. So for small wind turbines to have access to the best wind, you would have to build expensive structures to reach there, making it infeasible. Hence kite approaches like the one posted and Makani (with different principles).

Bipartisan bill to force Big Tech to offer algorithm-free feeds, search results
This is a confusing post- are they complaining only about the desktop app?

As far as I know,

libsignal-protocol-c =/= Signal Desktop

Signal Technology Foundation =/= Signal Messenger LLC

So what they are complaining about is that Signal Desktop does not at this time work NATIVELY with M1, while it DOES work with rosetta 2.

So what they demand is for the app to work natively rather than through rosetta which indeed does sound like a feature update.

Unless I'm mistaken this title is very misleading then.

Oh man I loved Magic Realm as a kid, I owned it, but I never played it.

I was 12 years old and it was way too complex.

I loved the game board and the art and the instructions and the characters. It was like being taken to well…. another realm.

I used to open the box up and lay out the tiles and read the manuals and look at the art and drink it in and be transported.

I still have it in the garage. What a great game.

There’s a few games I think deserve a new set of simpler rules for the same board and game pieces. I’ve often wondered if there’s a community smog people interested in making up new rules for old games that were too hard.
I think we'll have to have regulators step in at some point in another area - nowadays more and more cars are shipping with Android Automotive where Google Maps are the main(and only) map provider for the satnav.

It is not a valid statement. The ones who are afraid of malware might stay within the confines of the AppStore. Why do they think that everybody else should not have the freedom to run whatever the apps they want on their devices?

Until the apple lifts off these restrictions, users of iOS devices can not be considered device owners: they are merely renting it from a true owner (Apple), who decides which apps are allowed to run on these devices.

>Was it the majority that supported a status quo for some time? Yes, but not without being manipulated

It seems we are in agreement on the basic point. Bear in mind that at the beginning of this thread, throwaway210222 appeared to disagree with this point, and this is what I was responding to.

> You'd seemingly like to make a villain out of all white South Africans

> ... and then further concluded that there is then some obvious flaw in their moral character.

You're persistently reading things into my posts that I just haven't said. I haven't made any comment on the moral character of white South Africans as it's irrelevant to my point.

I really think that if you read through my posts again without the preconception that I'm trying to paint all white South Africans as inherently evil, you might find that you don't actually disagree substantially with any of what I'm saying.

As another poster put it, we must avoid the comforting fantasy that a system with millions of victims could have involved only a handful of perpetrators. The perpetrators were no doubt morally complex human beings like the rest of us, not evil caricatures. However, that does not mean that the fact of their participation in the system can simply be swept under the rug. Nor can the referendum vote – indeed an indicator of enormous progress – be used to show that the apartheid system did not enjoy wide support among whites in the preceding decades.

That gettos of socioeconomicly disparaged people lead to an increased crime rate, and over generations lead to a subculture that perpetuates the cycle?

Or that specifically making things illegal because they are popular in a subculture can over decades drive those subcultures to integrate an inclination to crime in general into the subculture?

We can't effect change if we aren't willing to talk about the causes for the problem, or even acknowledge the existence of a problem.
