RTE is pushing a lot for renewable to be deployed as well as more nuclear. More renewable means more grid deployment, so more work for them. Don't shoot the messenger.
The thesis is compelling. Here is my question: why now?

How did early America muster the capital and courage to do long-term planning in a way we today seem unable to? (If it didn’t, is this a problem?)

Whole heartedly agree. One metaphor I love is that a Ford Focus wins the race against a Ferrari every time if the Ford Focus has a better navigation system. If my goal is to go 1 mile due north but my compass points me due south I'm gonna spend all my time going around the whole globe. Prudence makes you more successful and your life easier.

Say what you will about his snake oiliness but I got that from Tai Lopez and he's right. Prudence is a key skill and may trump almost every other skill.
I was there for both eras, and what you wrote seems plausible. It did seem pointless bureaucracy attempts were more prevalent after 2015 or so, from what i observed, and such were explicitly spoken of as forbidden before 2011, for example.
Definitely. I had locked myself into semi-urban living in one of only several tech hubs.

I'm now considering all the possibilities.

It also makes working while traveling a much more open thing to do. I'm considering getting an RV for extended traveling.

Basically remote work opens up massive lifestyle changes for me.
It's funny, because you keep saying bullshit and pulling numbers out of nowhere and at the same time you're the one asking for sources.
Not sure what you mean. Do you ask if I care about them in a general sense (if so, yes) or if I think they're "a problem" (if so, no) ?
Questionable whether narcissists really even admire themselves. Covert narcissism seems more about believing you're a victim and your feelings are the only important ones because of that. Even overt narcissism is more like deep insecurity than self-admiration. Self-centered and self-important for sure.
I think we'd all have a better time if Apple would let us run current versions of xnu with only Darwin without having to piece everything together to end up with a system than might work but just won't because xnu is proprietary. I think there are valid cases where Darwin can be a more attractive choice than Linux, but there's just no interest because xnu is unattainable, and the alternative is using a Hackintosh kernel with degrees of stability rather than it being straight up rock solid stability. I don't mind the requirement of Macintosh hardware, but that isn't good enough for Apple, you either take the whole system or nothing (or live vicariously dependent on a few intrepid kernel hackers).

I used to think "mommy blogs" were cringeworthy but then I found out about engineering management blogs.
> thought I addressed exactly that in my original reply It’s not really working if and when once side is incentivized not to pay when they can and are obviously at fault.

That's not auto insurance that's the underlying legal system, and it's not the feature of the underlying legal system that mandatory liability insurance exists to address.

The intent of mandatory liability insurance is to fix a specific problem: a liable party might not have the resources to pay even a moderate damage claim if found liable. That's what mandatory liability insurance exists to address. That is the whole intent.

If you want to fix the “problem” that people aren't incentivized to proactively pay expected liabilities even when there is a clear indication that the party to whom they would be owed is not willing to pursue them in court, well, you are certainly free to propose a solution, though I don’t expect that there is one that doesn't have more adverse effects than benefits. And, in any case, that's not what mandatory auto liability insurance is designed to address.
Graphs suggesting some European countries manipulate Covid statistics
Hydroelectric can't ramp up to a large fraction of national demand, for multiple unsurmountable reasons (like, you can't dump the water fast enough for one). Location selection doesn't matter that much as they don't try to optimise cost, they just look at aggregate output.

People living off grid still continue to consume the products of grid-enabled industries, from manufacturing to farming to logistics to infrastructure. Heating/cooling and lighting a cabin is much more trivial than paving a road coming to that cabin, feeding its inhabitants, building solar panels for them, or ensuring dense enough population to make research and manufacturing viable. In fact, we don't need to extrapolate minor part of personal consumption to the whole society, we have aggregate energy consumption numbers.

"Market forces" can't generate electricity on their own. Instead of taking the bottom-up view, fraught with wishful thinking and unstated assumptions, why not take the top down, working from the potential generation capacity under ideal assumptions? That's exactly what the paper I linked did, and the results are… not great for 100% renewable

Yes I agree such a system is definitely embedded.. I think I was deliberately constructing a straw man in a (bad) effort to poke fun at people such as myself who have 'opinions' on what embedded 'really is'... "640k is enough for anyone" "C compilers are for people who cant write good assembly" etc etc.. https://xkcd.com/378/

I think it's possible to accidentally use that straw man to justify fears when looking at embedded rust.. But as other people have pointed out in this thread, just because rusty interrupt handlers look weird doesn't work any better or worse than one written in C.

Not a credible explanation given all those users who haven't logged in in years.
You can try to explain it:

- we form unsupervised representations for vision, hearing and the other senses (first person perceptions)

- we have goals that paint any situation into good or bad, any action into useful or not (emotions associated to the relation between perceptions and goals)

- we form memories and our experience is dependent on past actions (semantic, episodic and procedural memory)

- our environment is full of other humans so we have to predict their behavior as well, and we get to see ourselves as we think they see us (the self)

It suggests a lot about how we get to "see and feel things from our own perspective". We have actual brain circuits dedicated for that, and a supportive environment for cultivating them.

The thing is, you can have your email address(es) under your own domain, and change mail hosting providers while keeping your email address(es). It's true that too few people are doing that.

Apart from that, email is not going anywhere (not going away) anytime soon as the standard medium for B2B communication. And in B2C communication as well, an email address is the one baseline you can count on everyone having. I don't see that being replaced by anything proprietary either.
Long story short - they're also SLOW.
>Why? Because people need ways to feel like they understand and can predict other people's behavior.

> Would you agree

Yes

> if so, why do you think that is?

Because society. Literally.
You need to "predict" behaviors around you, it's only natural, every animal checks for threats.
The moment you live in a society, you have to live with lots of other humans, so you inevitably develop lots of heuristics to deal with them.

From a stranger passing on a street, to your coworker.

Predicting behavior is the basis of society, it's the reason traffic rules sort of work, why we can even have such a thing as laws.

Not exactly. A coal or gas plant is cheap up-front but has high operating costs. Solar is the opposite (as is nuclear). With Solar + backup peaked plants you do need to have two systems, but energy is gloriously cheap when the sun is shining.
I didn’t say DNS didn’t fulfill a need, it just does so in a centralized way that is now antiquated by newer technology that removes the need for ICANN to act as the centralized authority.

Also an NFT is token standard, sure it can be used as a fungible record of ownership, but your framing as if all NFTs are is a “claim on a JPEG” shows either a lack of understanding or a common Luddite attitude toward the technology. My NFTs work perfectly fine as domain names, far from a JPEG.
That’s anything to do with government in the US now and it’s accelerating. I seriously worry about the long term outlook for America, with the way politics are degrading.

There was that Adam Curtis documentary that was talking about how politicians since Thatcher were letting polls almost exclusively decide their policy so they could win elections, but in the process they lost any coherent vision for the future and discovered that the public didn’t have one. Seems like we’re seeing that continue to play out. At this point though, politics seem like their own end, the details don’t really seem to matter much.

The biggest problem with this stance is that far too often those middle-managers or other customer interfaces understand neither the customer's actual needs nor the programmer's needs.

Every successful project I've been part of has required me to meet directly with the customer and understand what isn't working. Asking someone else to ask the customer for a specification just leads to the wrong solutions being solved or an endless stream of feature requests that make no sense in isolation.

Slow down, I don't think "all of those" yoga and mindfulness books claim to be "solid science" and I doubt they're all "not very scientific". You just took hundreds of books, assumed they all claim to be scientific, and attacked them for not being solid. This broad brush painting of two healthy habits' texts is pretty damn lazy writing, friend.

Obviously, yoga is a movement practice and thus, one could write a very practical book about the muscles, ligaments, and tendons, how to foam roll and massage to enhance yoga, how yoga has scientifically proven health benefits, etc.

Similarly for mindfulness, you look at Joseph Goldstein's book Insight Meditation, and it's mostly a combination of stories from his life as a Buddhist in Asia, alongside his learnings from Buddhist teachings. Nowhere does he claim it's scientific nor does he attempt to use pseudoscience. He stays in his lane and the book is a great one.

So, friend, I'd say don't besmirch two very ancient and healthy habits which have aided millions of people, especially when you give zero pieces of evidence while seemingly not actually knowing those fields.
I'd say your own observations constitute valid (albeit suboptimal) data, to which you apply the scientific method. Peer review isn't part of that method, it's just a useful mistake/fraud filter.

I don't need a textbook to tell me objects fall downwards, I've been collecting that data since I was born.

That heats one 100m² room, doesn't it?

A typical English¹ house has several rooms, and is heated by a central boiler and a pump circulating hot water through radiators.

Converting the house to air-based heating would require several such units, or else some other type of unit and pipes to move the air to the various rooms.

¹ Used intentionally, I know electric resistive heating is/was more common in parts of Scotland.

I used a legacy GSuite free account for many years until it just got too painful because of how Google actively prevents those accounts from using its ecosystem (can't use Nest, can't use Family Share or family YouTube plans, and the latest one: you can no longer add such users to Google Homes for voice match).

I moved email to MXRoute and spent some painful time migrating to standard Google accounts-- imapsync to copy some email over to the new account, hacking Partner Share to get photos moved over, resetting all the Home devices.

It worked great with a couple caveats. All my store purchases and $75 of credit are on the old account and they cannot be migrated. This means I keep my GSuite account as a secondary account on the phone, not a huge deal. I lost location history and other such unmigratable metadata.

I use K9 Mail and Thunderbird and am generally pleased with them. After a week of tweaking I see better spam handling than Gmail, which was a surprise.

Overall very glad I got it done.

Market liberalization in the nineties. It happened all over the globe in various degrees; it was the trendy thing to do. Not all of it was bad, but a lot of harm was done as well.

With postage, letters still get delivered reliably, and postal workers seem fairly paid, but the parcel market is a cluster fuck of a small number of international parcel companies (some home grown from our former national postal service) that have done exactly what economic laws permitted them to do. They are somewhat regulated and high profile, so they came up with a system where subcontractors hire the actual delivery guys and own the vans and stuff (all in the parcel company's livery of course), and the parcel company pays them for each package delivered. Gradually the pay got worse due to competition, and those subcontractors that can survive either get paid too little under increasing pressure (due to covid leading to more packages ordered), or, as happened in Belgium this year, they hire illegal aliens and underpay them.

It's an inherent property of Schnorr-style signature schemes commonly used for elliptic curves. These rely on the signer generating a random nonce for each generated signature. The nonce is used as a blinding factor, and is necessary to avoid leaking secrets in the generated signature. If the same nonce is used for signing two different messages with the same private key, then anyone can trivially derive the private key. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_Curve_Digital_Signa... for details - this was famously how Sony accidently revealed the private key used to sign Playstation 3 releases, because they had just used a hardcoded nonce. Anyone could then derive the key without use of brute force via a few modular arithmetic computations.

Modern signature schemes such as EdDSA do not have this footgun as they specify a completely deterministic procedure for deriving a fresh nonce for each pair of (message, private key), simply by applying a cryptographic hash function to their concatenation. This is MUCH safer for the implementor, and also simpler to implement because one doesn't have to bother with maintaining a stateful PRNG
Some personality traits change, some are stable.

Typically selfconfidence, warmth, self-control, and emotional stability increases with age.

Generally personality changes fast up to 30 year of age and then change slows down. Conscientiousness often increases whole lifetime. Extroversion seems to be relatively stable.
Google will buy them just to shut them down. Doesn’t matter that it uses Bing data.
Great. I hope they are ready to use all that data to close the gap between them and google.
You may have started getting deprecation warnings because some methods in the `Error` trait have been deprecated [1] in favor of a different mechanism.

Then, you may have configured warnings to result in compilation errors in your build/project, however, I would argue this situation is not what most people would understand as "code not compiling due to a compiler update".

Not just US foreign policy either. Why was Germany allied with Austria-Hungary, their former enemy, at the start of WWI? If Austria-Hungary collapsed Austria would probably want to join Germany bringing a ton of Catholics into the nation and potentially challenging Prussian political dominance. And the best book on the rest of the diplomacy leading to WWI was named The Sleepwalkers for good reason.

Why did Japan go to war with the western powers in WWII? A bunch of reasons but army/navy rivalry was one of the biggest. The navy hadn't been doing much with the war in China and was in real danger of having some of their budget re-directed to the army.

Hydroelectricity is very limited in its maximum instantaneous output, you can't feed half a grid with it, there is just nowhere to put all that water to without massive flooding, so it's a bit of a moot point. Rooftop solar doesn't matter for the top down approach in that paper, they don't make any assumptions about PV location and assume perfect grid, so rooftop PV won't make it any better. So seeing a top down, intentionally optimistic approach arriving at a number much higher than that book's author's, I am very sceptical of the book's results.
>you often need to go back to your factory a few weeks after giving birth to your baby!

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/dec/27/americ...

I posted that article the other day, didn't get as much traction as the DoorDash delivery story.

You very much do have a nightmare for poor people in America, you can do everything right and stub your toe, and end up $30,000 in medical debt overnight. People die all the time just because they can't afford healthcare. It can actually be cheaper, assuming you can manage getting on a plane and all that to fly to London, and treat your stub toe there versus treating it here. It's absolutely ridiculous what we put working people through in America.

Mental health care is also extremely expensive, for example, your concerned about your spending habits. Your looking to therapy, but then you realize a therapist will cost upwards of $1,600 a month.

Or maybe you lose your job and can no longer afford to pay $3,000 a month for various psychiatric medicines. It's as if we're all living in a demented Dickinson's novel, you get fired on Monday, your daughter loses her health insurance Tuesday, and your daughter may die since she ends up skipping essential medical care.

Of course we have half-assed stop gaps, for example, if after losing your job you have a spare $1,500 a month you can keep your employee health insurance. Cobra as it's called is everything wrong with America.

Even with a job, it's cheaper for me to pay out of pocket for health care. I have this luxury since I know Pythons, but when I was younger I just didn't go to the doctor. This caused all types of strange issues which I'm still working on.
That is whole idea behind EUPL or AGPL the new license for MongoDB does not change much in this case. Though you are right that if you are trying to generate a profit with the service you might want to use something else, but it should be fine if it was for something like a company wide mail server.
Right. The correct approach is to tax land by value, but exempt improvements. Make it expensive to do idle speculation and cheap to renovate or build.
