That's 2.6 * 10^8 cubic meters of compacted dirt and rock needed to raise the island by 10m-- which is more than 1500 kg/cubic meter (1.5 tonnes/cubic meter).

The largest bulk carriers manage about 400,000 DWT.

So, about 1000 trips of the largest around... ignoring the logistical and ecological challenges of procuring that much material and using it to raise the island in a durable way.
Software Engineer Daily Podcast Not Hacked ...
The reputable and well-known podcast Software Engineering Daily has likely been hacked. It's contributor Jeff recently began releasing semi-comical, highly unprofessional podcasts containing satirical (and homophobic) rap songs about Mark Zuckerberg. As a frequent listener of the podcast, I find this bizarre and unfortunate... The hacked podcasts are released across it's podcast services and surfaced on their website. https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/category/all-episodes/e...
This seems like one of those articles which says more about the author than they intended. It's probably good advice for some people, but I can't say that I identify with it at all.
Real software or even content have minimal marginal costs...

But these gig-economies clearly aren't software or content. And they have very real minimum price. And not even robotaxis will fix that. Just because you make software doesn't mean you are such tech company, see WeWork...
At the end of the day, the petrodollar is a geopolitical arrangement, it’s end and subsequent replacement will be drafted to reflect whatever the new geopolitical order comes to be.
> Most people experience "regular struggles", by definition. Life is a struggle.

This seems obtuse. The entire thread is focused on finances. It should be self-evident my post is referring to financial struggles.

> But we have a way of defining who is poor and who isn't in terms of income, and it's good to use the same language as everyone else.

Different metrics aren't a different language.

> The "large majority" of the U.S. is not poor.

A narrowly crafted a declaration makes it easier to find metrics that fit. With that comes a weird assumption that those metrics are the same ones that matter to poor Americans.

For actual people - the meaningful measures of financial health are the long term security of food, housing, medicine and the resources needed to maintain them (eg:savings,transportation).

For actual people - when those things become unobtainable, a state of poverty is in play.

If preferred metrics aren't reflecting long-term or recurring conditions of poverty, maybe we should pivot to metrics that do.
Yeah, that works great. Then the kids just put that in a bookmark called "view-source". Probably also easy enough to make another bookmark that puts it back to normal.
How do they know it’s black holes colliding and not just large stars?
I'm quite sure my water heater does not store electricity. It stores hot water, and it completely lacks the ability to turn hot water back into electricity. At best I can use electricity at surplus times to heat water more cheaply, but that doesn't make it 'an electrical storage device'. I cannot attach a light bulb to it, for example, so you cannot use it during dark, quiet days to compensate for the lack of renewable power.
The overwhelming sentiment to the decision here is negative, but I don't quite understand that reaction.

If YouTube was just looking out for big brands and/or advertisers, they could have restricted the change incredibly simply. By making it a global change they're saying "ok now we understand how our UI actually led to some pretty bad outcomes in ways we failed to anticipate, and we're fixing that".
In Canada, we are very lucky.

My city produces many laboratory grade mushrooms.

Look! https://www.magicmushroomsdispensary.ca/

There would be a significant variance in potency if we were nibbling on different parts of the fruiting body when measuring a dose. But first, you grind it into powder, measure it on an electronic scale, and then take it.

If you stick to the same supplier and the same type of mushroom, this keeps things very consistent.
Whenever rich powerful people or companies says "Helping Small Creators", "Investing millions in small business", "Helping Small Companies", "Donate to support this cause" its almost a sign that something is shady. By removing the like count user will probably not engage that much which means loss of revue through adverts. However if they remove dislikes there is high probability of engagement because you don't know if the video is bad.

And this feature is not even required AFAIK. Creators can simply disable like & dislike if they think they are being targeted.

Exactly! It's about the limitations of our tools, which means as the tools evolve, subjects shift more towards hard science as we understand them better.

Yeah can't defy nothing with this model.
A handful of parasitic wannabe visionaries grabbing as much investor money as fast they can so long the sales pitch sounds ok, meanwhile "disrupting" all laws they can and paying workers less than minimum wage.
Seems like the drivers have wisened up in some places.
No. If the GBP goes up 10% relative to USD, and oil prices go up by 10% in USD, then oil prices remained flat in countries using the GBP, but increase for those using USD.

There's no magic here.

China has experience growing islands in the ocean. They are also the biggest polluter right now and they can afford the cost. If Tuvalu allows them to build a naval base in return maybe the US will get involved just to prevent that.
Should be possible to compute. Let's user 3 meters of sand with a density of 1600kg/m^3. So you ned 326100010001600 = 124.8 billion kg. The largest containerships can do something like 200k DWT (2.032*10^8 kg). So just above 614 trips...
Please don’t be rude. Your post is as much out of place with its rudeness as theirs is with its low-effortness.
If the entire population is forced to emigrate, then what's the point?
Tried that. Cannot reproduce (iOS 15.1; iPhone and iPad).

I have seen iOS on iPad suddenly start with a set of tabs from some time ago, though, and that can look identical to “losing all tabs”. Can’t repro that either, but it seems to happen after one runs multiple Safari’s side by side and then went back to full-screen (if you do that, multiple Safari’s show up in the Task Switcher)

Either way I think this is a bug, not by design.
Who whips who? Media or parties?
Because it turns out personal chauffeurs for sustainable prices is just not that big a business?
Someone once said, "It's never too late to become a programmer. I didn't even start until I was seven years old."
Got it, thank you. It’s a long-term play, repeated game theory, all that.
Interesting idea I'll try to use this in a team setup.

Quick remark about the site, I expected the site's tool presentation to be an actual video, with sound about the app and most importantly fullscreen capabilities. I can barely see the video's text on mobile (bigger font also needed).
But no auto play if there's sound please.
Congrats
Yep - I am now seriously considering buying an electric scooter because Uber is plain unreliable now.
I am all for it. But they should also remove like counts and comments. The content should speak for itself.
Fair point. I would always take the under on that comparison, however. Point at any one thing and I would bet that it won't reach that level of popularity. However, something will - I just don't want to bet on which one it would be.
Here (Michigan, US) there is not a single grocery item I buy that has gone up even 35%. Most items have not gone up at all.

Might you tell us your approximate location?
I think they mean it is sort of a ponzi scheme for those invested. It requires more and more investor money to operate and will eventually collapse leaving the last round of investors holding the bag while those that got in early may get out fine. I think the ponzi scheme is more an apt metaphor than the actual structure of the company?
Until it stops being profitable, it really doesn't matter what you fine them. Stock price is up 5.82% over the last 30 days...
Considering how the US government has spent its trillions in the last few decades, keeping money offshore might actually be an ethical move. If buying products from a company that exploits workers in X country is unethical, why are taxes used to fund wars any different?
Interesting calculation.
Did they deduct taxes paid, salaries and dev time?

If not, this was a negative sum game for google.

Would be very curious to know.
They are asking them to include the names of American people in the published list.
Sure this is all coupled; But I was trying to separate "propped up a bit" from "pretty dependent on". It's not really clear without having looked into the details.
It’s based on weighted numbers.
Which means there is no peaceful solution available.
Time to code up a quick Likes/Views ratio to inject below videos with ViolentMonkey.
They explained in a related post that people were being harassed for hiding it or hiding comments... (Replace people with "brands" and we can infer their true motivation)

These aren't Microsoft specific issues but vendor specific. My partner's last two employers have used Dell machines and they've each had serious problems with audio drivers. I've seen Dell bios updates completely mess up full disk encryption by losing keys and more recently switching SSDs from ACHI to ATA mode.

At the same time I've had comparatively few issues using my work issued Lenovo laptop. However I completely re-imaged my work issued Macbook because the Trend Micro software installed on it made it $3000 brick.

I think the intent of the author is to say "you have an inner thought life; write that". To your point, even if that isn't an inner monologue, turning that into words is a different challenge than literally not having anything to write about.

But I think that's where the author maybe is missing the point; yes, we can always find something to write. That doesn't mean it's worth writing, especially in whatever context had me sit down to write.
Honestly I'm sick of every time someone posts a video suggesting vaccination it's heavily downvoted - for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jc79u7ym8SY
Deaths per thousand terawatt hour is the correct unit to compare.[1]

Coal: 100000

Oil: 36000

Nuclear: 90

Solar: 440 (rooftop)

Wind: 150

Nuclear is the clear winner, closely followed by wind and solar.

Also you could already disable showing the count of likes and dislikes publicly.
Yes, this is amazing to watch. The lack of self-awareness particularly.

Wokeness is an Elitist "Luxury Product" - it's a show of wealth, a show of position, and a show of virtue. Showing rank is especially necessary when the apparent value of the individual to society is unclear and uncertain.

This is the replacement for physical luxury products to show rank and position. And that replacement is necessary because luxury goods have become cheap enough that any random "deplorable" can afford to buy them now. In general, the US has an inverted "Maslow pyramid" in terms of commodity cost and availability. And that's thanks to Chinese slave labor and outsourcing.

Since most of the Elite class seeking these luxury products are exactly these "Highly educated white 1%", this should not a surprise. But of course most things humans do are NOT rational. And that includes group-think of the bubbles people often choose to live in.
Is it pretty advantageous to new retiree who has followed orthodox investment advice, and has started to live off their investments, only to see the value of half of them crash? Even if they recover in six years, they have still lost a mountain of principal in the meantime.

Is it advantageous to a new graduate who will see no work, and maybe a decade of depressed wages (which, between loans and compounding interest in savings, is devastating to their future prospects)?

Is it advantageous to a new homeowner that just lost their job?

Some people got burnt by that flood of money that stabilized the economy. Some people benefited. Some people avoided harm. Focusing on the first group without regard for the latter is missing a large part of the picture - which was that the economy as a whole remained more or less stable through this crisis.
Yeah it feels like the author is strawmanning what "I have writers block" means. It's not that they've forgotten every word in the language. They have thoughts. Those thoughts are probably like "I hate this writers block, ugh what to say, what to write, I'm having block...". Doesn't matter if they wrote that out, no one would want to read it. And we all know there are too many "meta" pieces out there about the author's struggles with writer's block - please don't subject us to another one!
Well, it was a good way to get me to cancel youtube premium. It seems like a clear indicator that we are the product, and content creators the actual customers.

No worries, there are always alternatives.
No I'd rather have a know established system/metric in place that amortizes brigading so as to diffuse the effects of mob attacks on internet content.
Dont forget Beijing
We're talking about real costs of each alternative, though-- not just the viability of enterprises. After all, we're really talking about policymaking, and externalities like contaminating your groundwater like chemicals still "count" in overall outcomes.
My SO's Subaru Outback's engine died recently. It would be $5000 to replace it. Not being able to justify the cost when it had an engine replacement 2 years ago, was already 9 years old, had 160k miles on it, and us not needing a second car, we decided to just sell it. A dealer bought it for $6500 knowing that the engine was shot. I was expecting like half of that with an optimistic estimate.
Leaving a million tabs open is analogous leaving all your silverware on your countertop instead of putting it in a drawer where it belongs. Regardless of how convenient it is, it's chaotic and incorrect user behavior. People need to take accountability for not using internet browsers correctly. Learn from your mistakes. PEBKAC.

This actually gave me an idea: a web browser with a feature that automatically saves open tabs into a "tab list," which functions the same way as bookmarks. Oh wait, that's the browsing history.
Electric generation charge has basically doubled for me (.045 to .085). Beef prices are about 50% higher, chicken at least 10%, pork about 15%. Etc.

I also know people buying cars at or close to MSRP that would have gotten them for much less before. So the sticker prices might be the same, but actual prices paid are going up.
If it's all about the NO and not the other effects of L-Arginine, L-Citrulline might be the superior option.

"Ingested L-arginine is first delivered to the intestines and liver where arginase, which converts L-arginine to ornithine and urea, is concentrated. In contrast, L-citrulline avoids intestinal or liver metabolism and enters the kidneys, where it is rapidly converted into L-arginine"

> So development practices get harder and harder for no real reason.

I think it's even worse than that. I think that any time there is a widely adopted platform which is easy to customize without requiring any significant level of skill, there is some subset of people which churns out very simple tools to do popular things well enough, and stuffs those tools with adware / malware / spyware to make money. The platform vendor responds to this flood of crapware by adding new checks and processes to ensure software quality and security, and keeps doing so as long as quality and security is a problem. At a certain point, the platform in question is no longer the easiest target, and the people creating the crapware switch to the next platform, and the formerly-easy-to-deploy-to platform is now a complicated mess to write anything for.
I didn't think there was anything left to write about how to write well, but this has left me both surprised and sure.
I'd go so far as to say it's the last article anyone needs to read about writing. No further comment.
I would also be extremely interested in reading your thesis.
By the time shit hits the fan, it'll be too late. You can't "fix" the climate, you can only prevent it from getting to a state that needs fixing. (And we're failing at that)
This is covid misinformation. It's always dangerous to extrapolate the results of a study like this to what it means for the vaccine.

My understanding is that the Spratly Islands base China has built is not something that can actually sustain a population trying to live traditionally. They've destroyed the reefs and encircled the dredged area with a sea wall that prevents normal sand beaches from existing. While the terraformed island would be above water, you wouldn't have the kind of ecosystem that is viable or productive.
If you're trying to write something valuable, not having something to say is probably worse than lying

What's the reason for the emphasis on weight? From reading the technical reports (from Makani), there were larger issues with the design unrelated to the weight.

As an example, Makani's Y-bridle design to attach the tether to the kite introduce stability issues during hover, and limited their control when the kite was aloft making circles, which in turn limited their power generation.
First, get clarity around what an ideal target client looks like for you.

Think in terms of industry/vertical/market, etc…
The more detailed, the better.

Who is the likely “economic buyer” of your services—- Think about their titles/positions.

Now, jump on LinkedIn — sort for people. Drill in on the individual profiles that stand out as likely prospects.

Create a Top 10 list. That is to say prospective clients that look interesting, people/companies who you can likely help.

Reach out to them directly for a introductory/discovery conversation.

Go Get’em!

> Uber/DoorDash/Lyft are all pretty simple CRUD apps at their core,

> Most of the functions of the main delivery platforms could easily be achieved through smart contracts,

These Crypto conversations always seem to follow the same format:

1. Define a problem, but reduce it to a single, or a few, causes

2. Oversimplify the existing solutions to the problem

3. Propose smart contracts as a solution

4. Hand wave how smart contracts actually contribute to solving the problem

5. Ignore the new problems that smart contracts, and the required market places, would introduce

This still seems like a huge disconnect to what people use youtube for vs. what google thinks it should be used for.

Google wants youtube to be all network and brands making content. ie. a future version of what TV is now. What actual people want is creator made videos(diy/review/podcast videos and everything else that make youtube wonderful).

This disconnect has been happening since google bought youtube and this recent change only reflects google wanting to hide backlash/or dislike from who it sees should rightfully be on youtube, brands/networks/corporations.

Annoying like how they won't show ratings on search results, particularly annoying on fake movie trailers or generally anything fake like fake spacex live streams with crypto scams on top.
Feel like this is a necessary feature. A compromise would be to turn it off for ads but leave it on for everything else...I'm lost now, gonna be hard to quickly determine garbage from good insight.
One of the other oddities of this market is that prices for "normal" cars have increased at a higher rate than prices for "upmarket" cars.

There is now some pricing overlap that never used to be there.
States typically have the bottom rank in GDP because they're mostly empty. The big industries in Arkansas are agriculture, forestry and mining. Their agriculture industry isn't fundamentally different than agriculture in some other state, it just so happens that New York also has a major finance industry etc. There is nothing wrong with this. There is no requirement that every state have an equal share of the finance industry etc.

But then the Senators from New York represent the finance industry and the Senators from Arkansas represent the forestry industry. So the Senators from New York make sure that nobody is ever allowed to disintermediate Visa and MasterCard and the Senators from Arkansas get big federal money for a lock and dam system.

Both of these are simple corruption.
The responsive padding is a bit weird. Having different padding for top/bottom and left/right looks a bit weird.

Also, for centering, I definitely prefer using position: absolute and transform: translate(-50%, -50%)
That brings to mind some interesting ideas. One of the "business models" for Sealand was to be a "data haven", i.e. offer online hosting of data in a jurisdiction which didn't allow searches or seizures of data or servers. Could Tuvalu provide a similar service, possibly from within the territory of a nation which grants them a legally autonomous region?

Similarly, I wonder what would happen if Tuvalu decided its laws should not recognise copyright as a concept any more. The government could run an official "legal" file-sharing site and other countries would have to decide whether to prevent their own citizens from accessing it. I imagine these other countries would lose a lot of sympathy for the people of Tuvalu if such a site were created, though.
Addicted and losing your job because of psilocybin? I've not tried it myself, but many of my friends have, and anecdotally, none of them have (to my knowledge) ever even gotten to the point of it being a "habit".

I can't say the same for alcohol, cocaine, and even cannabis. I know people who have had problems with all of them.
The first sentence from PaulHoule is 100% spot on. Additionally, you can't just point the expired domain with backlinks at your domain and think its rankings are magically going to boost your rankings.

First off, the domain needs to be somewhat relevant to the topic of the site you are redirecting it to.

Second, make sure you actually reproduce the site to allow Google to understand the domain is online and active again before you simply redirect it.

Basically, to do the "expired domain" tactic right, you are going to need to find one with backlinks worth leveraging, on a topic closely related to yours, and put the site back online for at least 90 days before you redirect.

If you're going to do this (and want to do it right) make sure the juice is worth the squeeze.
I used to have a repo with scripts that "encodes" those change. Stuff like "setup-zsh.sh" and so on. On a new computer, I could just install git, clone the repo then run the scripts.

I stopped doing that because I don't use new systems often enough to be worth it, and as someone else said it's also a good time to examine and improve your workflow.
Congratulations on those 12 years! Generics and supply-chain security seem like a very nice focus for the next year. That's one point where JavaScript seems to be stagnating a lot, so I'm glad other people are taking it seriously.
