Fundamentally, all these ads share the quality of showing people content they didn't ask for to lure consumers into spending money they otherwise wouldn't have. Why the wouldn't I block them everywhere? It's disgusting.

I know many people like to argue that they're a "necessary evil" to pay for content, but I have little patience for this argument because it assumes that vendors are entitled to the success of their flawed business models, and people should give up freedoms to support the industry.

> California uses an incredible amount of water that can be blamed on maintaining habitats

Wait, am I reading this right? Are you saying California is to be "blamed" for letting water run through rivers it normally (i.e., without human intervention) would have run through, so that the natural habitats of the state continue to serve as habitats? Your second point is even about how bad destroying habitats is. I'm confused about what you're trying to say.

As I understand it, about 50% of CA's water use goes to maintaining rivers, things like making sure fresh water always flows out the golden gate, rather than letting seawater flow into the Sacramento delta (which would be an ecological catastrophe).

You can "instrument" (measure?) all the water you want, but in California you will always need a ton of water flowing out through the Bay unless you want to destroy huge areas of wetlands.

The amount that goes towards environmental needs won't decrease just because you measure it.

But overall I completely agree with you: we should measure and users should be charge appropriately for water in agriculture, as they are for any other use -- the water rights system means that water use is not allocated efficiently in the economic sense, but rather by seniority and incumbency (as is typical with other scarce resources in the state: zoning, Prop 13, rent control, etc).
Where I live (DC) most people are not in tech and they still have an upper middle class lifestyle working for the Federal government or a contractor (in a non-tech role). Nationally, purchasing power has been declining for many years.

Besides Fed Gov, Tech/finance are the probably the only sectors left with large work forces, great margins, a culture of rewarding talent (vs health care for example), AND rooted in the USA (vs manufacturing and heavy industry). These factors combine to create a super class of tech/finance labor.

God, that must be so infuriating. When you’re as tired and stressed as these medical staff are, I don’t know how they can summon up the energy to deal with that.

Each distro works for its user base. The Linux ecosystem is and will remain relatively crap because it isn't commercial. MacOS is great, even with a ton of underlying Open source code because as part of commercialization it does not rely on github issues and pull requests for UX feedback nor does it depend on users asking for features to develop them. Tons of money and time that cannot be paralleled even by commercial Linux that isn't sufficiently well funded. It's not just money and man power either, law of diminishing returns and all. You need the whole pipeline scaled to a competitive level.

Each Linux distro is an OS i n its own right and targets specific audiences. Many have and continue to try and fail to unify and create a distro that is like MacOS or Windows without thinking about what it took for those OS to be consumer ready.

Are you willing to pay hundress of dollars for a distro? If not, then see which distro comes close to meeting your specifc needs and accept it will never have mass adoption. Work to help solve bugs and improve UX in your distro of choice as well.

The incentive to develop Linux distros vary wildly but they are all needs the creators and supporters agree upon. While the incentive behind MacOS and Windows are mass adoption for the sake of profit.

Maybe one day there will be a for profit Linux distro that is will funnel profits to upstream devs and has actual adoption as a goal instead of what current users and devs think is best. Maybe that year is 2022, the year of the Linux Desktop!
True, I'm also a 'big dude'. Some of my colleagues are often terrified when I tell them I walked late at night through an unknown city :)

But I don't scare so easily and I think I have a decent 'radar' for situations that are really not OK, from working in bars for a long time. Of course the first time I'll be proven wrong about this I'll regret this. But anyway. I need this to make me feel free on a business trip, when so much of my schedule is already set in stone.

Having said that I have seen some heartbreaking stuff in Romania. I saw a woman with a baby sleeping on the street (thankfully in summer). Another time one woman approached me offering sex just so she could stay in my warm hotel room (it was -15C at the time). I felt so bad she had so little she was willing to go that far (she was clearly not a professional, those tend to dress differently). Of course I didn't take her up on it but I gave her some money though I didn't have a lot on me. It really made me sad to see this.

And another time there was an old lady in the subway begging for money, with the usual accoutrements like a shopping bag with blankets etc. I gave her some money and spoke to her for a while and to my surprise she had excellent English. Turned out she wasn't homeless at all but she was a school teacher who was cheated out of most of her state pension by some privatisation scheme imposed just before she retired, and really needed money for her husband's medical treatments.

Sure she could have been scamming me but she was razor sharp and she could tell me exactly what was going on in the world. Not a typical homeless person on the booze. She told me a lot about how old people are getting the short end of the stick right now in Romania and young people get all the opportunities. She also didn't try to ask for more money at any point (though I did give her more after we'd been speaking so long as I felt really bad for "blocking" her chance of collecting more).

What shocked me a lot is that the benefits of joining the EU seem to be exclusively falling to young people and the old are completely left out. Right beside our fancy office tower there was a block where some people had plastic bags for windows. I would stand there at the coffee dock trying to look away. So sad. I think when they joined the EU we should have made more point of the benefits being spread fairly.

You can see the same on the streets. Brand new $100.000 Mercedeses and Audis among Dacias that have clearly been built during communist rule. There seems to be almost no middle class, with the exception of the upcoming young generation.

This is a nice story and makes rational sense. But the world is rarely rational, and I doubt that price signals behave any where near as logically or predictably as the author implies during the article. It reminded me of the classic ‘beer distribution game’ referenced in Peter Senge’s - The fifth discipline of how delayed feedback loops in supply chains can amplify or mute signals traveling back through layers of producers due to lack of shared context and understanding.

GP poster is also incorrect. Prior to his passing, famous DJ Avicii is estimated to have an estate of 50 million USD; well-off enough to never work again if he didn't want to. There's also, y'know, the Royal Family. GPs post would lead you to believe that Swedish society is flat, but there are absolutely bank managers (or something, I never got a chance to ask) running around driving Porsches while the rich plebs own thirty year-old cars, or don't own cars and take public transit. There are people who can skip the line to getting housing in Stockholm by buying a flat instead of waiting in line for years for a rental property. 20-year olds in the technology field are still much better off, economically, than someone who's chosen to be circus performer or artist.

However, a world-class DJ and the fact that some people are richer than others doesn't really contradict the claim that Sweden is much more egalitarian, and my previous points need to be examined within the broader culture of Sweden and Scandinavia in general. (Many Swedes commute daily into Denmark.) Having a car is convenient, but thanks to a world-class public transportation network in Stockholm, rather unnecessary. Car ownership is thus less of a deal compared to much of the US. While the privileged in Silicon Valley are trying to get "fuck you" money (more eloquently expressed as Financial Indpendence / Retiring Early - FIRE), the older Swedes I met still work, and are most proud of the days or week off their job affords and middle-class people are able to travel more than I see Americans (though a lot of that is cultural, but time off work and plane tickets+hotel is expensive).
No, I’ve had stock options too but they’ve turned out worthless.

Without taking sides, the reason people say that about the Model S is the price-to-performance ratio when taken holistically:

For example, the 0-60 times of the non-Plaid Model S trims are excellent... but the braking is poor across the board, the non-Plaid Model S run out of steam very quickly at higher speeds, etc.

So not a great performance value unless you're only looking at the Plaid and plan to drag race...

-

And the luxury is great compared to an econobox... but again, you get in a $65,000 ICE and the materials are much better, fit and finish are better, noise levels are better (drivetrains are usually not the main source of noise in cars, tires and wind are)

So not exactly a great luxury cad, and luxury cars aren't known for value to start.

-

And the eco aspect, yes you can argue you're doing something great for the environment... but spending $60k+ on a new car is not exactly the best way to save the environment...

You could pick up a reliable used luxury vehicle that gets around 35 mpg like a Lexus HS.

It'll take almost 3 years driving to even catch up to the CO2 cost of even the lowest capacity Model S (remember it's not just the battery, it's the entire car. manufacturing cars is intensive stuff regardless of drivetrain)

-

Now all this isn't to say a Model S is a terrible car, but it's something where, if one looks on paper, it's not as easy to justify buying as the sales figures imply.

So there has to be something missing... and that's usually the social/virtue/fashion/cool factor.

And there's honestly nothing wrong with that, people don't like to be told this but: we all care a little more about appearances than we let on.

Even if you're not consciously thinking "A tesla is a fashion accessory", you're more likely to think:

- Replacing the center console with a touchscreen is so cool and futuristic!

Than the truth:

- Replacing the center console with a touchscreen was a way to make things easier on Tesla: Touchscreens are cheaper once you remember how much tooling is involved in a traditional center console, and what it does it tact time
Yes, the high resolution display is always fixed in the center, it doesn't move according to your gaze. I can't really comment on the other thing you are proposing...
I'm happy SOMEONE is enjoying it. Because it... christ it was awful. I had no expectations for it, and it felt like some big budget fan fiction tripe. Almost a parody.

But I've come to understand that whether you enjoyed it or not comes down to what you decided the film was about, early on.

For me, I assumed it was all in Neo's head. Especially the bits outside the Matrix. So I didn't bother investing in or even taking seriously any of it, expecting it all to crumble around as Thomas Anderson's fantasy life collapses on him by the end.

But uh... then the credits rolled, and I realized all that nonsense was "real". Huh.

It just didn’t work for individual digital art. Patreon doesn’t pay you for making art, that’s incidental. At least the way I’ve seen it used. It also creates no secondary market, there’s no resale, royalties. The possibility of making a single art piece worth 10,000$ That is impossible in patreon. Patreon was more of a decentralised art school at its best, where you could pay for individual tutors.

I also know the average income I saw being generated from Patreon was low. Not high enough to quit your day job, more of a second job type thing. NFT income is incomparable, I know of cases of people who are now millionaires.

NFTs are essentially just a way to sell digital art in a way that approximates physical art auctions, and in that regard they are an overwhelming sucess.

How many monitors do you use?
Note that this math is misleading for calculating how much things will heat up, because effective antenna aperture of the thing that you'd heat up increases with the square of frequency. So the square terms of frequency cancel each other out.

It's still small, but the best simple approximation is just to take the 100W and divide by the proportion of the antenna pattern your target occupies.

A 100W source on 2GHz or 60GHz at 10 meters distance is going to dump about the same amount of energy into you. If the transmit antenna has 3dB of gain, that's going to be about 50mW.
There are very basic things CA can do to improve things before your hypothetical. For example, we can filter and re-use water rather than letting it drain into the ocean. However, everyone a politician proposes this, their opponents brand it “toilet-to-tap” and it never passes because who wants to drink toilet water.
I'm not saying this number won't grow. It will absolutely grow, if only because we will all get older.

But it's likely that the number is relatively maxed out, which is kinda interesting. Everyone who can uses the internet.

And among those who can't are children who will soon use it, rural people who might soon use it and oppressed people who might experience a revolution, migration or whatever reason to then use the internet.
> With phased array beamforming, you're using using multiple small antennae and amplifying the signal beyond the sum of the individual outputs.

No, that's impossible.
The RF power imparted onto the EM field by any antenna array is equal to or less than the sum of the output power of each antennae.

> Cars and scooters compete for public space and are directly comparable.

You seem to have a very difficult time understanding nuance.

I didn’t complain about scooters, I complained about companies dumping their commercial scooters on pedestrian paths specifically for obnoxious marketing purposes.

A scooter is fine if you want to own one and you don’t use it to obstruct pedestrian paths for commercial/marketing purposes. But to start dropping your commercial products and commercial marketing in the middle of paths (or roads for that matter) is the problem.

You brought up roads and cars and traffic as the “bigger problem”. Now you're suggesting the roads you are talking about were not built for cars. Are the roads you brought up with all those cars and traffic not made for for vehicles? Or you are taking about vehicles clogging up ancient Roman roads?

I’d like to engage you but you seem like a troll. Good luck with that.
