I don't think it matters much that you didn't start the projects, you are the one who is responsible for them now. That is the part that counts.

If the project improves by making a difficult change then that is still your choice to make. Sure some people will complain, but there is always someone that complains when things change.
I read it differently - 63% of people when asked will say that they directly use the internet. Most of the data seems to come from surveys, and some of the data notes seem to mention stuff around households being asked.

Im not sure a person using an internet connected ATM would count, or a person who uses the internet in some form at work but does not have a broadband connection at home etc

If you count indirect usage, I suspect the figure is much higher - ie do we really believe that c13% of Europe manages to get through a month without using the internet in any form? I’m a bit sceptical on this data as it appears to be poorly explained in terms of methodology (and some is even just forecast through a model).
At least in the UK the legal limit for air rifles is below 16J you do of course get higher powered weapons but they need to be held with a FAC. Air pistols have an even lower limit. These are detailed in the article.

Also at least two of the weapons detailed was below 12 ftlbs which means it was definitely below 16J. Further when you get on to the discussion you will note it says all the weapons were within legal limits. So your reading of the article is incorrect.

The actual legal limit for “lethality” as it pertains to defining a firearm in the UK is 1.35J.
I hate everything you just said about current local station ownership. Budget cuts to the extreme to get outsourced weather. I don't know where "here" is for your parents, but I'm assuming weather doesn't get severe often there. Reminds me of LA. LA doesn't have weather. It has climate. The local programming there is beyond ridiculous. In my area, local weather people can literally save lives with their broadcasts. Yes, they get updates from NWS, but they are true meteorologists to be able to reach conclusions on their own without needing hand holding from NWS. That's my base line. Anything less than just seems like a waste.
Maybe below zero due to all the wasted energy?
I think being able to target propaganda by audience makes it different. If your goal is to disseminate idea X, the way you convince a mid 20s progressive is going to be different from the way to convince a retired Republican.

The internet allows you to target those 2 groups separately, and tailor your message to the audience. You don't even need to pay any gatekeepers; just join the right Facebook groups (whose membership will already be very helpfully divided by ideology, class etc. for you), and start posting.

You could replicate it partially by putting different messages in different newspapers, but not with the granularity we have now.
A more interesting idea is what happens if China wins?

Except I think there's a pretty good track record of companies knowing exactly how to get around these with shells, sub-contracts to overseas companies, too many hops and hand passes, loopholes, etc.

Or you get fraudulent 'whistle-blowers' inserted by the competition to reduce said competition.

It would be better for it to be painful for people to actually enter their data, so that they really must want to, further then have to manually accept for each individual party that will hold that data. But of course that is unpalatable to most any degree because convenience is king...

We keep wanting to fix the exit gate because that's 'easier' than the entry one.
Yes, forking occurs. But before you, you would reach out, ask permission, offer a solution and try to come to a compromise with the original authors.

Downright forking while ignoring the original authors and then putting it out there as an independent alternative to theirs? Well, that's just entitled behavior.

I'm not sure I understand, could you confirm/object to this?:
- The Chinese characters have no fixed meaning, but they do have fixed pronunciation, so 佢唔喺呢度 sounds like spoken Cantonese when any Chinese pronounces it, but the meaning can only be understood by Cantonese?
- The government declared the Mandarin meaning to be the only meaning of the Chinese characters?

I agree entirely, but frankly it's a distinction without a difference.
Depending on the underlying contract / agreement it can be anything you want. I view crypto as any piece of paper.

In general crypto is freely tradable / sellable, and the markets/tools are there. Illiquid 'assets' are a lot more liquid than when hidden / on paper somewhere.

Want the crypto to represent shares in a company? They're worth that.

Want an NFT to represent the ownership or the beneficiary of the profits of some music/IP? Can be worth millions or 0. Depending on the success of that IP.

Want to notarize something on a public blockchain for future proof / timestamping? Probably worth about $500-$2000 or whatever your notary charges.

Want the crypto to represent karma points on hackernews? Priceless!
With the methods the author is using, I think they would also be unable to value gold and other non-producing assets.

Crypto (despite claims that it's a currency) is a digital "asset". Like gold, but without any real-world use like jewellery, coatings, etc, and with a far shorter history of being a store of value. The problem with valuing it then is due to assessing risk.

It could be trading at zero tomorrow, and there are plenty of plausible paths to that scenario.
Up until two weeks ago my car didn't (or at least it didn't send any data anywhere, I know one mechanic hooked up an iPad to it to get some sort of real-time data from the engine once when diagnosing a transmission issue).

In my experience (teaching university students), few of the people who need such an article most would read it, or even go looking for it. Maybe some experienced people might, but most of those will figure it out for themselves.

I think most beginner programmers treat every error message as simply "you screwed up", and reading the error message and gleaning useful information from it doesn't occur to them as a possibility. That knowledge can come from it being explained like you suggest (but in person with their actual problem is better), or from them sitting down and puzzling it out. If you haven't been through this though, and don't know what kind of information is available in error messages, you won't go looking for an explanation of how to find it.

If you have a big enough garden, you could put an owl nest box in a calm place when the owlets constant screeching noise will not suppose a problem. Owls can be territorial and attack to protect the nest also, so leave them far from the house and alone. Unlike traps, they will catch ten mice by night each night and will dispose of the corpses so you don't need to.

As someone from the Flemish (dutch-speaking) part of Belgium, I can honestly say that is a very US-centric view you have.

In the Netherlands, the custom of "Sinterklaas", which was brought to the US and became Santa Klaus, predates Christianity coming to the Netherlands and Saint Nicholas was indeed created in order to be able to continue this "heathen" feast.

It's origins are in the Celtic/Germanic midwinter fest of "Yule". During this fest, the god Wodan, rode on a horse, carried a staff, brought gifts to nice children and had devilish helpers who kidnapped the naughty children. This tradition is still strong in northern Europe, which was much less influenced by Christianity.

Santa Klaus lore still has a lot of hints to the pagan origins. For example, the reindeer which pull Santa’s sleigh are called Donner and Blitzen-‘thunder and lightning’ from the Old Dutch ‘Dunder and Blixem’. (Wodan is the Germanic/celtic version of Odin.)

From Plato's Republic:

"The proper officers will take the offspring of the good parents to the pen or fold, and there they will deposit them with certain nurses who dwell in a separate quarter; but the offspring of the inferior, or of the better when they chance to be deformed, will be put away in some mysterious, unknown place, as they should be."

This was just a hypothetical, but Plato was thought to be influenced by Sparta. He's very explicit about the eugenic principles behind this idea.
So Moore states his law as doubling of components per circuit per dollar every year in 1965, revises it to approx every two years in 1975 and now 'lesswrong.com' seems to think doubling every 2.5 years is on track with that.

What a waste of my time.
At one time I thought, along with the orthodoxy, that falling population rates would be a big problem in the future.

But now, it's just a way for humanity to rebalance itself.

30 years ago as we approached 7 billion humans on the planet, everyone was worrying about how we would feed ourselves and what would happen if the rate of growth kept going the same way. (Yes, I'm that old that I remember the news stories).

Now as we slowly decline, everyone wants us to make more babies.

These things go in cycles.

I think that as we get more advanced and men and particularly women, see participating and reaping the rewards of modern economies in pretty much every country -- more important than having children, it will drop even more.

But as covid shows, events will happen that cause people to rethink that from time to time. In a way, its "life" that re-balances itself without even our intervention.

It's a pendulum, and right now, it's swinging one way. It will swing back.

I'm fairly sure that quote is not factual. Many early appearances of Keanu are clearly a form of video footage; look at the later gameplay scenes to see the actual digital rendering of Keanu, with skin rendering not even matching ten year old games like LA Noire. Even when one Keanu is walking past another in the Morpheus scene, you can see that one is computer generated, with slightly better skin rendering than later, and one is video. Same goes for when Keanu walks through the bullet-time visual effects - the characters involved in the effects are clearly much lower fidelity than the filmed Keanu.
And even in American culture, there's a certain famous poem from a few decades before the Civil War involving a jolly white bearded St Nicholas with a sack of presents on his back and a sleigh with reindeer, ironically acknowledged by the article itself.
Although being capable of sending a bill is part of the problem, I suspect a bigger problem is getting your bill in front of someone who has the budget, the mandate and the inclination to pay it.

A lot of companies have a lot more controls on purchasing than they do on employee salaries. So a manager who has ten $100k developers reporting to them might only have $10k they can spend at their own discretion.

And the unix philosophy of having many small tools and libraries means practically nobody is _just_ using one open source product. So even if you can get your bill to someone with a million dollars to spend, if they have to share it between 1000 open source projects it's not going to go very far.

Once there was a company who's main office had a water leak. Actually, water was leaking into the building from the basement. Turns out, it was built on a natural spring.

The water was perfectly drinkable. The employees on the lower floors started going into the basement and filling their canteens from the water there.

Eventually the company stopped paying the water company, because they were able to source all of their water locally.

But every once in awhile, there was an algae bloom somewhere upstream, the water was contaminated, and all of the employees got sick and had to stay in bed for a week. The company essentially shut down while the employees recovered.

The building manager tried to have the municipal water reconnected, but he was promptly fired, because they had free water in the basement.

Heck, they ran some tests and found that the water in the basement was actually, technically, more pure than the water from the taps. Except, you know, when it was making people sick.

Some local villagers who knew about the spring even showed up and helped maintain the basement spring. Not being paid employees, they were not beholden to the interests of the company, and weren't paid, but they still tried to sway management at the company to continue using the well. Coincidentally, they all had "well tender for 4 years" as their resume headlines.

Some employees, tired of getting sick and losing work, started building rain collectors on the roof. Management shut that initiative down quickly, because they were falling into "Not Invented Here" syndrome, and "reinventing the wheel" instead of pushing features.
I agree with your general point, but Kings and Queens absolutely had to consider other people.

Specifically, most rulers had some kind of patronage network where they gave out 'gifts' like land, or the right to collect taxes, in return for loyalty. Princes did not generally just sit on a huge pile of money, like a dragon. If they wanted to go to war or build a palace, they had raise taxes, which meant concessions to their power.

Anyway, slightly off-topic! Still, the analogy holds - you don't get to be a prince of the internet without the work of a lot of minor nobles.
Because its all bullshit.
My understanding is that the US has the most advanced chip making capabilities in the world and is unmatched by anyone. Intel, AMD, Nvidia, Qualcomm.

Is that not true? Does the US constitute only 13% of world chip making because most chips sold are cheap, low powered chips? And if that is the case, does it really matter that we aren't making the cheap stuff?
3 cubic meters per second is really nothing when operating at full 4GWh power. A single percent of the discharge of the Mississippi could supply 50 such plants, a third of all power consumption of the USA.

When the reactor is SCRAM-ed in an emergency, the power output drops instantly to 6% of the operating value, 0.5% in 24h, and 0.1% in 10 days.

Assuming worse come to worst, you need to SCRAM all 3 reactors simultaneously, and the pond is completely dry after the first week or so, you can still cool the cores using trucks, it's just 3l per second boil-off, about 10 semi tankers per day.

There are many problems with nuclear power, but this issue of water is completely blown out of proportion.

People don't understand that the peak of energy is more important for progress than anything else.

The economy is dependent on eternal growth and will fail unless you climb the tree of progress faster than the rate of energy decline which is accelerating VERY fast.

Once customers realize that the low hanging fruits have been poached and they don't get better hardware when their old hardware dies (or most likely no hardware at all) they will look at buying quality that is open (not gatekept with software) and the inflationary rent seeking cycle will spark.

Buy what you can while it's still open enough to last you 100 years.

EUV is a dead end because the costs of that complexity cannot be maintained when the energy supply is failing, production speed is too slow and I suspect quality will deteriorate quickly with heat and time!

Here are some facts and figures, with sources for your reference, in proper Wikipedia style.

The Wikimedia Foundation, which operates the Wikipedia platform (but does not write or curate the content, a bit like YouTube provides the platform, but users provide the content), is constantly looking for revenue growth and very successful in that endeavor.

They took $154 million in 2020/21, exceeding their own original revenue year goal of $108 million by $46 million:

https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Wikimed...

They built a $100 million endowment in five years, half the time anticipated:

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising/2020-21_Report#W...

In 2021/22, they are aiming to take $150 million; that is almost a 40% increase over the previous year's goal of $108 million:

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Medium-...

The Wikimedia Foundation's VP of Engineering and Development said in 2013 that Wikimedia's mission would be sustainable on $10+ million p.a.:

Today a Wikimedia fundraising manager thinks a billion a year would not be too much:

https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikimedia-l@list...

The top fundraising manager's salary increased by 50% in four years, to $252k plus $33k "other" compensation in 2019 (the latest figure available):

The wording on the fundraising banners has always been controversial with the unpaid volunteers who write the articles, with the Wikimedia Foundation accused of manipulative tactics or outright lying to the public:

They have never been struggling financially, but have always wanted to grow their organisation. They have beaten their own revenue record every year of their existence and added over 500 paid staff since they first became a top-ten website.

There's metric tons of tutorials that would benefit a lot by delving beyond "Getting started" and the obligatory Hello World construct, to dealing with implementing a more real-world use case, and showcasing the various best-practices to the language / lib / framework along the way.

So many projects list a gazillion features on their site, and then leave you with a "Good luck! The features are in the code base".
Our cat certainly hunts mice. The problem is she considers them presents to give to bring back home.

>Now as we slowly decline, everyone wants us to make more babies.

It's irrelevant how much they want us to make babies (Western Europe), as unless real estate prices plummet to levels affordable to young couples without rich parents, you won't see birthrates in the west go up without heavy immigration from developing nations.

They can't expect to have rising birthrates that would sustain the pyramid scheme of the welfare state while at the same time treating real estate as an investment vehicle that goes up faster than wages, squeezing the younger generations out.

Either the welfare state in the west will collapse or the real estate market will. You can't have both going up at the same time.
