if the game could be such that this is equivalent of proof-of-work, then it would be fine.
I did not know that - thank you.
>I want to move back to the middle east, but people think I'm crazy. I think they're crazy.

It does sound crazy though. There are a handful of cities in North America where a bungalow costs 1.2 million. Rather than move to the Middle East, you could move maybe 20 miles away from city center and get that same house for $200k.
That is one of my favorite books. Why do you think the first part was difficult to get through for you?
If the isp doesn't snoop traffic or keep records, they're not liable. They can keep a generic reply with a fill in the blanks response signed off by their lawyer.
The same way any existing package management system handles this - by only allowing you to install one of the two packages in the first place.

But Gobolinux can actually handle this scenario better than most distros since package-specific libraries don't need to go into the global index in the first place. So neither pkgA nor pkgB's 'thelib.so' would end up in the index, it'd just be local to the package.
> Also, any "make" program for C should automatically detect dependencies between files because this information is present in the code and it doesn't make sense to duplicate it.

This requires that either you implement or shell out to a C/C++ parser as part of the dependency resolution step (which has to happen prior to the actual compilation). This will slow down your compilation a lot unless you're able to parse C/C++ as fast as your make/bazel/whatever language.
Since this is client only, is there a github repo for this? (also helps with following discussions)

I get the potential usage for this and perhaps would fit as an integration in other apps too.
You could shrink roads and non-space bits of green or concrete filler, expand living areas into some of that reclaimed space while shrinking the city from the rest of that space, have more personal space of higher quality with lower air and noise pollution and closer services in a smaller city and better public transport to/from suburban living areas, and have less sardine can life than currently.
If we approached financial efficiency like we did energy and material efficiency, something like UBI might work.

We’ve learned how to raise and tend animals and plants for longevity and productiveness while we harvest their useful byproducts (milk, wool, apples, almonds). Why don’t we do the same with economic entities?
One thing always bothered me: how can something be cheap (after initial investments) and create lots of jobs in the long run at the same time? I mean what is the money for fossil energy spent on, if not either raw materials or people part of the supply chain?
I don't know how the Kimberly [1] fits into the essay. It has two combustion cycles to burn clean and more efficiently. It's relatively expensive compared to most wood stoves. Originally designed for heating a boat, thus compact.

Steel I wouldn't even consider particularly hard to electrify. Most steel, at least in the US, is from scrap metal sources melted in an electric arc furnace, and all of the iron ore smelting furnaces built in the last few decades actually use a mix of hydrogen (and carbon monoxide) already, usually with natural gas as the feedstock. The same technique works well even with >90% hydrogen (steel only contains a small amount of carbon).

And I'd say most airline travel could also be electrified directly, although it'll take cleansheet designs. Cement might be the hardest because it will produce CO2 even if you produce the clinker electrically with clean electricity.
I completely agree with you, but I’m wondering if you could help me debate the counter argument: “The same is true of stocks, if people decide to stop putting money in, no money comes out”

It comes up whenever I make a point similar to yours above, and I haven’t had a good answer for it
(At least) two reasons. First, once you already made your own personal copy, and you already have your torrenting strategy in place, adding another torrent is basically as easy as just dropping it into a folder. Second, exchanging content. You upload shows X, Y and Z since you have them and hopefully you can get access to A, B, and C from someone else who happens to have them. Though, this is more prominent in private trackers and risker in public ones.
There is no other choice beyond tech of some form or another.

People won't wear a mask in stores and restaurants to prevent the spread of disease. This pandemic tested the level of shared sacrifice acceptable in a mere short term crisis. It was not high at all.

Basically, sacrifice, except if it is of other people, cannot be part of the equation.

Current price inflation caused by loads of extra money for spending and supply chain disruption is already politically devastating.

Tech either stops environmental harm, gives us a way out of environmental harm, or lets us fight to have what remains.

The solution will be one of:

- Solar panels/electrification -- mitigate

- Carbon capture/body cooling suits/fake trees -- adapt

- Bombs and guns -- win
I agree. When individual projects promise to be cheap AND make a lot of jobs, I'm distrustful.

However, low cost energy will enable more jobs than it costs. That's not a per-project thing, though.
That‘s pretty much what is done in countries with a recycling industry. It might be a bit more manual (you might have containers on the street for glass for example) but an entire industry is supposed to make it happen and burn the rest and turn it into electricity on the way. You can read up on their proceedings, e.g. at https://www.recycling-magazine.com/

The thing is: even after 40 years they‘re still not very good at it. Even the top countries just make the 50% mark. And that is done via a set of different political measures and education of the public https://www.nspackaging.com/analysis/best-recycling-countrie... .

When I was young (~10 years old), we installed a wood-burning stove in the family-room of our house. My dad had a lot of family and friends who were farmers and were in constant need for tree removal.

Our heating costs dropped so significantly that the Gas company called, concerned that we weren't running our Natural Gas fired furnace and that we might need financial assistance.

We heated this way for many years after he died. I took up the responsibility of cutting down trees, splitting wood; and keeping the house warm. It is A LOT of work, but worth it if you have access to the trees/woodlots.

In the future (if this housing crisis ever ends), I will be adding a Rocket Mass Heater to my home. There is nothing in the world that compares to the feel of a roaring fire on a cold winter. One year the power went out in a very large geographic region that affected a large portion of the population. No electricity meant that no furnaces were running; so we had some elderly neighbors and family move in with us. They could have easily died without our wood-stove running. We even used it to cook on!

some hint on naivety. Salary negociation remains an unspoken art and is often taboo. It takes experience and good understanding of the many dynamics in place to stop being misguided/fooled by what's going on and what we are told.
The message most companies spread is that it's a meritocracy, that the wellbeing of all employees and fairness are taken very seriously. and the claims are that we roughly work in a meritocracy. Being naive is believing it is true to some extent. Reality, and people who have lengthy experience and no reason to censor themselves in my circle all agree with this: It is an adversarial exchange of information, each party pushing as far as they can get away with in order to serve their own interest.

with that in mind, and the following rule is a basic negociation principle: Information gives an edge.

So if you put down your expectation, or worse provide your current compensation, you are giving away critical information to let the other side know pretty much all you know, which one can roughly derive what you would accept or reject. and the other side will either not give an offer at all (if your expectations are way off higher than budget) or will offer the minimum to get away with.

tldr: trusting potential opponents by telling them what they kindly ask is naive.
This is sort of the rub. What looks to be the most effective is also not possible due to current and real incentives. But let’s see. Family size is similar, your family is more influential in its community if it’s larger, but more education and affluence tend to cause smaller sizes. Wonder if an analogous shift would occur.
Oh no, living in a fully nuclear/solar-powered Amsterdam-Tokyo, the horror.

This sounds great.
Is breaking through a human formation to reach a goal bad manners or good football?
Very much welcome! I can geek out about package management all day.

If you do want to dive into this stuff, I’d recommend reading both the Nix and Depot Lite papers of course, but their references section is also a gold mine of fascinating systems.
> An expert with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has raised concerns that the custom in which parents hide the doll in the home in the days leading up to the holiday could be normalizing the idea of surveillance by authorities.

No 5+ thinks the elf is alive watching them. I remember discussions about elf on the shelf when I was 4, with classmates. Children often imagine the elf comes alive at night, when nobody is watching. That seems totally possible to a child. Teachers and parents are CONSTANTLY watching kids. That's much more likely to influence than some doll. I'm disappointed that someone from the ACLU said this, as it's "way out there" propaganda to tie in their agenda.
>The California Equal Pay Act

Does this account for the vastly different levels of output from employees? I would have to imagine nobody believes quality of work and productivity are actually equal amongst coworkers.
Labor is a significant portion of the cost of green energy. For example putting solar on your roof is more than 50% installation costs.

Fossil fuels are mostly capital costs.

The book goes into this, along with everything else.

This is admittedly a small percentage corner case but there are people who are legitimately unable to access the content even if they want to and are willing/prepared to pay depending on their geographic location.

I pay for Prime and Netflix but I still often torrent shows from those services because of the stupid widevine drm level restrictions on quality/resolution. I guess you could say that’s not piracy then but I’m sure I’ve got things downloaded that are no longer on their catalogues so it’s hard to know.

When Netflix had 70% of the media content you’d want I was very happy to be a paying customer but now I’m mostly a begrudgingly paying customer as the cost goes up the the library shrinks. Everyone wants their piece of the pie right now and I don’t doubt they’re going to consolidate to some extent after the winners and losers are decided but it sucks ass that the ecosystem has become so fragmented.

Also having the raw files makes it easier for me to sync up watching with my fiancé who is currently abroad. She pays for Netflix in the UK but even when both libraries have the same content the UK version often has different intro credits which makes syncing difficult.

I guess the overall crux of my issue with the business model is that I can pay $15 a month to access X service and get hundreds/thousands of movies and shows or Something like $20 a season for a show which could end up being hundreds of dollars for just one show. The economics really just break down for me since they price owning a digital copy against physical. Ironically physical copies will end up getting discounted at retail because things have to move but the digital copies won’t. Also in many cases even owning a copy digitally doesn’t give you the ability to dictate where you use it/give you a raw file.

I just want things to work the way I need them to, however that manifests and the only way to do that is with the video files themselves and any barrier or artifice between them is a problem.
Perhaps Doordash should treat their employees as employees, providing the appropriate insurances and training to perform their work safely.
> In that way it's sort of like Proof of Work in Bitcoin.

It’s not sort of like PoW, it is basically exactly the same. People play games for fun, but they also play for status. Status, like Bitcoin, has a hard supply cap so there is no limit to the amount of energy that individuals might expend in pursuit of it.
The criticism is quite old: https://www.amazon.com/Motel-Mysteries-David-Macaulay/dp/039...

It hasn't gotten anywhere; I assume that's mostly because making assumptions tends to let you publish papers, while not making assumptions tends to stop you from publishing papers. There's no incentive in the system for accuracy.
I cannot just let your story sit here unchallenged on the day this great man died. First of all, John Madden lived his whole life as just a simple guy who wants a sandwich. He was as blue-collar as they come. The clothes he wore. Took a bus (sure, his own bus, but still) everywhere.

More importantly, perhaps he cut a line, I wasn't there and don't know. But literally everybody he worked with, who interacted with him for years or decades, insists he was gracious, generous, and kind. It's not right to mention your single interaction without countering with the thousands of people who loved this man.

One more anecdote. In 1978, during a preseason game, Jack Tatum of Madden's Raiders put a hit on New England's Darryl Stingley that paralyzed him for life. Madden, not New England's coach, and not Tatum, visited Stingley in the hospital that night. And the next day. And the day after that. And regularly, for weeks and months. He opened his house to Stingley and his wife. He returned from away games and immediately drove up to check on Stingley. He had no obligation, no responsibility, he just thought it was important to do.
That’s what I wanted to make. Till I realized how slow r-pi0 is and that it will never be battery powered. That’s why I didn’t go this route…
That seems like a good middle ground. Generally it's one of my opening questions for contracts. I'm honest and say that I don't want to waste anyone's time and get an upfront range and give them some wiggle room.
Because if they don't, they can shave dollars and keep them for themselves?
I disagree with this premise.

Consumption by itself is not an issue, it's just a question of what we consume.
For example, if all energy was generated from not-fossil-fuel, than (insofar as anthropogenic climate change is concerned) we have no climate-change problem at all.

Pollution of any kind can be addressed in this way. Don't like electronic waste? Build electronics in ways that facilitate perfect recyclability. Don't like tire graveyards? Design tires that biodegrade, or are otherwise reusable.

It's not that we need new technology to save ourselves. It's simply that we need to allocate resources towards moving our existing technologies in a more sustainable direction.
We’re spoiled. 3.5 billion years of stored energy from the sun is ripe for the picking just under the surface.

We’ll burn all 3.5 billion years of it in 200 or so years.

An episode of the BBC Show “Bang Goes the Theory” showed me how ridiculous our lifestyle is when they put a typical English family into a house powered solely by bicyclists. The family had no idea - they just went about their day while a few dozen bicyclists were practically killing themselves so they could run the shower and the kettle at the same time.

I agree with the author, lower consumption is the only real solution.
Could it have been some kind of sharpening tool to progressively make a point on a lance?
I have an old button that says “C combines the power of assembly language with the flexibility of assembly language.” Might have changed now, but it was a humorous yet valid observation then.

Nothing can exceed the efficiency of the Carnot cycle, which is 1-T_cold/T_hot. If T_cold is the room temperature ~ 300 Kelvin, and T_hot = 100C = 373K then this maximum theoretical efficiency is 1- 300/373 ~ 20%.
It's very cool that you will be adding a rocket mass heater. They fascinate me endlessly (I've posted about them here before) and are what led me to read about masonry heaters. It's unfortunate that RMHs are so difficult to insure, but I hope that building one is in my future as well.
Classic programmer easter egg? :) Not sure how probable it is from a first glance at the code...
Remember Thomas Malthus thought that the only way to avoid human overpopulation was sexual abstinence.

It worked horribly. Humans love sex. They also love consumption and material goods. You are not going to convince people in developed nations to cut back their consumption. And you are not going to convince people in developing nations that they will never have the lifestyle of the developed nations. In addition, in a democracy, attempting to try to do those things will be political suicide. People will happily tell pollsters that they want to combat climate change, but the minute it affects them (for example rising fuel prices), they will be out in the streets attempting to throw the politicians out of office (see the yellow vest protest in France).

For overpopulation, the solution literally turned out to be a pill. Once women had access to safe, cheap, reliable birth control, population growth leveled off.

Either tech will save us, or we are doomed.
That's an awesome story. While I've never lived in poverty, I got my first taste of making money by making bot for a FaceBook game in 2008 (WarBook, if anyone remembers that). I only made around 2,000 USD but that experience really changed my life.

No money doesn't have positive cashflow, that is why it is a stupid investment.
> Otherwise, they might be right about you not deserving it.

#3 results from a fundamental confusion people have that pay is based on people "deserving" something. Like it's an expression of virtue or your worth as a person or a reward for doing something good.

It's not. You're paid based on supply and demand and your negotiating skills, nothing more. It's not a golden star from your teacher that you're a nice boy. It's whatever you were able to convince the company the monetary value of your contribution is worth. That's all. Get over whether someone deserves this or that. I'll solve this once and for all: nobody deserves anything. You're responsible for figuring out how to provide value and capture it.
Extremely easy, as an 8 year old kid I got lost in an area that I regularly visited. Lucky for me I was with other people and I was able to hear them so I was able to guide myself towards them by following the noise they were making.

It's easy to lose your way even if you know the area. A wild area regularly changes and many points look the same so it's hard to always have a good point of reference. I advice anyone that goes into a forest or such to have a plan on how to get out or a plan on how to get help if they get lost. At the very least, have a compass and a map of the area.

I don't understand why the major streaming services don't have the good Christmas movies. They all have these new "made for TV" quality awful movies they push really hard.

It's A Wonderful Life

A Christmas Carol

Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer (old animated version)

How the Grinch Stole Christmas (old animated version)

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

Home Alone

Miracle On 34th Street

Elf

White Christmas

There's tons of GREAT Christmas movies. On any given Christmas season Netflix might have 1-2 of the greats. Same for Amazon Prime.

I'm confused because it seems like an easy win for these streaming services. Is licensing them really so expensive?
Yeah. I’m not sure how an additional 3-4 years in an academic environment early in a career makes a difference in one’s leadership ability 20-30 years down then road.

And humble PhDs realize their limitations, which is required for continued learning.
I make USD $2300 per month freelance so like 28,000 USD per year. Basically living paycheck to paycheck, each year thinking I'll get my own business going.
The symptoms and the characteristics that was mentioned online matched what I experienced, so that's why i'm confident its that and yes I have began the process to seek professional help, but If you have done any you will know how hard its to get the right one in the first go, so wanted a bit more perspective on what I'm getting into to and whether its helping me or not, that was the intention for seeking help here.
True, but I’ve read that most people don’t budget or spend conservatively, so it is theoretically possible to get by on a normal paycheck in SF. At that rate you probably qualify for stuff like BMR housing and may be able to own a home in the Bay well before someone earning $100K-120K. However, it’s very unlikely you will win the BMR lottery or qualify for the loan.
If you're paying someone 3x someone else, they're probably doing different jobs, which should have different pay ranges. A range of 20%, or even 50% is probably acceptable for salary (also of note the CA and CO laws only require salary disclosure, performance based bonuses or equity award ranges don't need to be shared) based on performance in a role. A difference of 3x or 10x (or 50x as is the case above) in salary means that the expectations are different.
sure thanks
There is quite a lot of non-consensual kissing in those films.

I recently watched "Live and let Die", and indeed it is in there. You do not have to look far. It is a common Bond method of seduction.
I sure did watch a lot more stuff when I lived a block away from Scarecrow Video, one of the last great video rental stores. With shelves full of stuff that had been curated, with staff notes here and there calling out the occasional film.

Theoretically the streaming services are more convenient, they're all lurking right there on my PS4, but... I never really touch the things.
Why do you have to justify it? You might pirate content simply because you can.

If you don't want someone to copy your data without charge then find a better business model.
For anyone looking to compare masonry heaters with rocket mass heaters, this is a nice introduction: https://www.lowtechmagazine.com/2015/03/radiant-and-conducti...

RMHs are very interesting to me, but unfortunately due to their niche status, they're currently very hard to get insured.

(PS. I would love to see a picture of your RMH, is possible!)
There are only 5 platonic solids, and dungeons and dragons dice use all of those. So it's not weird.

I interviewed with quite a few companies in the SF Bay Area for firmware and embedded software engineer positions since August. Most of them require onsite from 3 to 4 days a week. I think you can definitely work onsite software jobs in firmware and embedded positions.
