Every nation decides which charges are included in the extradition treaties, and which aren't. So no, we should not.

However, in this scenario, depending on your importance/visibility, you should absolutely read up on extradition treaties when visiting China-friendly nations.

Any American who visibly supported the Hong Kong pro-democracy protests should definitely think twice about ever visiting China and (again depending on visibility/importance) any friendly nations with extradition treaties and the numerous countries around the world without rule of law.
Of course I might! But jokes apart, Italy's economy is in relatively good shape, compared to 2-3 years ago, and a need for bailout is at least a few years away.
> wearing a gas mask for two days a week outside isn’t the answer to pollution. It might, for a short period of time, keep certain effects at bay, but it’s not sustainable, and it doesn’t address the systemic issues.

I don't think this is the most accurate analogy.

The most attention draining parts of the web/internet are some kind of social platform. I needn't list them, you know what they are... they are not analogous to air. Perhaps they seem that way when you've fully integrated them into your life, but they are not.

Keep your phone, your laptop, and keep the tools you need to create and work. But whatsface and spacechat are not part of that toolkit, those types of platforms are psychological crack cocaine.

Taking a full break from all tech can be good, but when you return to it, make sure you delete those accounts or uninstall those apps. Don't worry about friends, the ones that count will be happy to communicate with you through less toxic channels - the rest aren't really your friends anyway.

Could you point me in the direction of a single YouTube channel that goes into more depth than a Masters program?

Other than occasional captured lectures, everything 'educational' on YouTube seems to me to be optimising for that TED-style sense of wonder / happy familiarisation with the content, which is poorly associated with learning outcomes.
It's because people saying "I'm just building my own app with blockchain, don't hate me", are either lying to us or to themselves.

Every honestly distributed blockchain is scam or soon to be scam, because to incentivize distribution a rewards are required (tokens), and that completely upends social expectations of the app, regardless of its stated purpose. Node keepers and token owners want to pump the token price by any means necessary. App users (if any) are facing an adversary and hostile environment because they are the afterthought, second class, and hodlers are a priority.

Centralized blockchain on the other hand is simply ridiculous, except for the ultra narrow market of version control systems. People are delusional if they think a centralized blockchain will ever be more useful for anything else than a normal DB.

I love docker, but I really dislike having to remember and type long commands (even with docker-compose).

So I decided to create a set of Makefiles to make it easier and more convenient.

The Makefiles...

* Auto-generate a list of all available targets / commands that you can see by running `make help`

* Provide useful defauult commands such as `make run`, `make restart` and many more

* Allow you to add additional service-specific commands

* Allow you to override default commands

* Display the traefik URL of the service on start / restart

Decided to share it here, since it might be useful to someone else.

Did you enjoy building the sheds?? If so, you gave your brain a vacation and did something fun for you. If you didn’t enjoy it, hire someone next time.

Either way, it’s the past - you’ve already built the sheds and can’t get that time back.

Life is short and fun is good. You’re going to die anyways. Might as well enjoy the time you know you have. This includes giving past you some leeway.
But that's silly. Everyone agrees with you but what if you need to go to your grandparents in the country side village of 200 farmers ? You could build a once-a-day bus line or you could just let people take a non polluting car from a lot outside the city.

Cars are not the problem: it's their aggregation in dense city + their pollution. Remove the pollution, people stop dying, we can then discuss your dream of perfect public transport for optimization's sake.

Why would old media publish articles that people don't want to read? No one would read "here are 10 youtube channels that are more in depth than a master program". They would go out of business in a quarter. It's not like old media doesn't publish a variety of content and then evaluate which gets the most views already. They know we don't want to sit through fifty hours of academic lectures instead of reality tv.

I also think it's funny to describe "old media reporting on new media as scaremongering" when scaremongering in the form of conspiracy theory and false expertise in new media (social media) is arguably its greatest flaw. What facebook et al have empowered in terms of fear and control is truly breathtaking. I don't think the insulated tech community of hacker news can truly appreciate how many people in the West have been led to fully distrust science and academia. How many reject medical science and climate science. How many have been manipulated into thinking collapse and violence are imminent and have engineered their entire lives around that belief, from moving to far away rural areas and stockpiling weapons and supplies. The breadth of the scaremongering and thoughtcontrol that social media enables is unparalleled in our history.

But sure, the problem is "old media".

I've been trying to explore programming bootloaders a bit. I've got an unorganized collection of resources and a bunch of test bootloader programs that are not documented.

I haven't figured out how to get gdb hooked so I'm just debugging with a print integer routine. That's annoying.

And writing to and reading from the bios video service (int 10h) in my text editor bootloader is not the most fun. Randomly characters get overridden and it could be my code or register state I haven't reset but it's pretty hard to get right and understand the bios APIs.

I'm getting ready to give up than write anything about my bootloaders since their behavior is not always deterministic in more complex programs (boot4.asm is the complex text editor and sometimes when hitting backspace on the last column in a line the cursor sometimes freaks out trying to find the end of the previous line.)

Correct. It is baked into their business model, to monetize your attention. And they have gotten very good at it. A "race to the bottom of the brain stem" as Tristan Harris likes to put it[0] is the correct way to look at it, AFAICT.

The Germanwings Flight 9525 tragedy [1] was effectuated by the suicidal pilot inputting an auto-pilot target altitude of 100ft, while flying over high mountains. The plane dutifully flew into the mountains, murdering 150 people.

While there are airports with elevations lower than 0ft, this is a good design question to ask. In general, it's assumed the pilots will do the right thing to save the day, if needed.

There's a distinction that we're talking past each other with, as evidenced by your NoSQL example. NoSQL is not as much a discovery as distributed consensus is - its more of a forward step in database technology (down a certain branch).

Distributed consensus was not all that incremental nor precedented. Its not quite something that was imagined much before it was around in any fine detail. Considering how novel the innovation was, and how out of the blue it came, it makes sense to consider it more a 'new' thing that may have applications not easily thought of.

I'm sure in the smaller domain of databses NoSQL has been discovered to be useful for businesses or processes after its invention.
> when in reality only 14% of Germany's gas consumption is for electricity production. ... Another huge chunk is household use for heating and kitchen appliances, together these two sectors account for 67% of Germany's gas consumption.

But this is pretty much connected. If you have cheap electricity, you can easily use it for heating instead of natural gas.
10 more years is needed if you want nuclear.

Possibly also batteries, but that’s harder for me to estimate — we’ve got the price down, but we need way more volume.
2000 cycles is 5.5 years at one cycle per day, though 2 cycles per day can also be useful at the cost of a very short lifespan. Even 5% interest rates above inflation only increase costs by around 14%.

At scale batteries are effectively a fuel that needs continuous replacement, though related equipment can last much longer. Also, module/pack prices dominate installation and operating costs as PV operates on DC and therefore needs a DC/AC converter etc.

Summer vs winter depends on geography, it’s largely meaningless between the Tropic of Cancer and Capricorn. It does become increasingly important further north, though offset by the relative need for AC. By the time you’re seeing such wide production swings from summer to winter you are simply in a bad location for solar.

PS: Actual charge vs discharge cycles of course vary widely as to various other costs.

I lived in a suburb with lots of walking paths and within walking distance of a grocery store. This is a rarity in the U.S. Even on nice days very few people out and about. It was rare for me to encounter more than one person on a hour long walk. While some suburbs have walking paths (and many do not) my experience is that few take advantage of it.

ECS or "Entity, Component, System". You have Entities (like a soccer ball or a player, or any object in the game) which are objects, that contain a list of Components (like phenomenons on the entity, like physics, sound tracks, health bar, etc) and a game loop that calls out a list of Systems (like Physics System, Sound System, HealthBar System), which are "static" objects that hold a reference to all Components and which update them to move the game forward (eg. Physics systems moves position down by vt + a/2 t^2)
Two things to note.

1) >>>>>>>> and every time that we have then talked to them they say that we don't have to pay the remainder.

This is actually in default of the contract between doctor and insurer. However, lots of physicians do it anyway. The minimum legal requirement is that physician must attempt to bill difference 3 times. If insurance audits and finds a pattern of these "writeoffs" it will claw back insurance claims. IN short, insurance doesn't want to pay more than the patient. Of course, the doctor will side with the patient, and then lose a bunch of money during an audit.

2) >>>>>This is just a negotiation tactic between our dentist and the insurance company. They are just trying to make sure that they capture every dollar that the insurance company will possibly pay.

You get half right. Its not a negotiation tactic. Its straight up capturing 100% of the potential reimbursement. Doctors have an extremely hard time maintaining different pricing for every contract, by CPT code. If doctors could easily maintain different pricing for different services, they would, because it would "true up" their AR Aging. Therefore they instead have 1 price, the highest possible, and just work to writeoff any underpayments. This is why healthcare costs keep going up. Doctors have no market incentive, they only have a maximizing incentive. That's why an increasing number of doctors do not take medicare or medicaid.

Something as simple as making doctor visits ("fee for service") payable via pre-tax dollars would probably make a big dent in the insurance game. HSAs were a step in the right direction, but its incredibly expensive from the employer perspective. You can have an stellar insurance plan and an avg one that offers HSA, and the premiums for the latter will be more expensive!

A similar incident happened to Qatar Airways Flight 778 (another 777-300ER), from Miami in 2015 [1].

Incorrect runway lineup led to the plane only getting airborne after the end of the runway, after smashing through the ILS antennae. They then continued onto Qatar (13.5 hours away), with bits of antenna embedded in the tail.

> Blockchain is a means of achieving decentralisation

Yes, but a very very specific one. It's low throughput by design (because it's a linked list of consecutive blocks that must be appended slowly enough for the network to converge), and to work properly it must be deeply tied to economic incentives.

> arguable one of the better ways as it currently stands.

No, and that's part of why most engineers don't like blockchains: the pretention to be a wold changing solution. Unless you want to build bitcoin, blockchains are probably not a good solution to decentralization. Depending on the definition of the word that matters to you there are technologies that do achieve decentralization in a much more significant way: Torrents, CRDTs, Paxos, or activitypub for instance, or just the good old web since anyone can host their own website as they whish.

And people who really care about decentralization have long known that this isn't a technological issue (since the web is ultimately decentralized as a technology, but completely centralized in practice) but a social one that won't be solve by “revolutionnary tech”. User experience is a key factor here, and blockchains have probably the worst UX ever (and as such, they are overwhelmingly used from centralized platforms, even more so than the actual web).

Yes, you should stop using it. Here's Wikipedia's definition of the web:

> The World Wide Web (WWW), commonly known as the Web, is an information system where documents and other web resources are identified by Uniform Resource Locators (URLs, such as https://example.com/), which may be interlinked by hyperlinks, and are accessible over the Internet.

The only one of the three you referenced that has anything like that is IPFS, and it's missing large chunks of the web experience we know. Sorry, but a crypto wallet and a data structure simply have nothing to do with the web in any sense that word has ever known.

People love the web. It has profoundly affected nearly everyone on Earth. The last time someone invented something like it was in 1440 in Germany. If you want to redefine it as something completely different, people will assume you're doing it in bad faith to co-opt goodwill for your product. If it's for your crypto wallet, they will be right.

> I don't even get the idea of these web versions. They just seem like buzzwords to me.

They are buzzwords. There was no Web 1.0. The "Web 2.0" was coined as an umbrella term for AJAX-using sites that allowed a lot more interactivity. It's not like some product got a version bump. It became vogue to refer to older style static or HTTP form POST sites as "Web 1.0".

Now the cryptobros are trying really hard to push "web3" as a buzzword for their dystopian blockchain based nightmares. Tim Berners-Lee had already started pushing "Web 3.0" to describe the semantic web technologies he's very excited about.
