In many areas cell data is a better choice.

When I lived in a bus I traveled to almost 30 states and spent most of my time in rural areas like national forests. Finding a good signal was a lot easier than you might expect. Get the right hardware with an external antenna and high speed coverage is good in most of the country.

Finding a good plan can be tough. If you can get a good T-Mobile signal they have unlimited plans for a reasonable price. AT&T has data plans that are $1/GB. There are grey market resellers that offer unlimited SIMs at an inflated price.
You could use emacs to connect over ssh. ;)
There's truth in the idea that Trump supporting an idea made it toxic even if it was a good idea, but it didn't happen in a vacuum. It happened because the anti-Trump media attacked everything Trump said, whether it was sensible or not. They could have taken a neutral perspective and assessed his speech on its merits, but they did not and they bear some repsonsibility for that.

(To be clear: I'm not a Trump supporter and I think that when he was right it was by accident rather than design. However, many media organizations shamed themselves by embracing partisanship and abandoning even the pretence of neutrality).
It makes sense to me. Natural health is enticing because it simplifies the problem of solving your health issues to adjust understanding how certain herbs, mushrooms, etc. affect the balance of your health. Real biology is incredibly complicated and full of unsatisfying answers. Natural health is full of sure answers (with dubious effects)

Facism is exactly the same except instead of the health of the body it is about the health of the state.
At least it's not webex.
And you say this for other positions that you don't like? Puts of $fb? Calls on $nflx? Of course not.

The reality is that hedge funds engaged in illegal naked short selling, confident that they would never get caught because the SEC has essentially abandoned its role. And a group of retail investors decided simply to buy and hold registered shares of that firm, knowing that simply by doing that, they could bleed those SHFs out or force them to close their position at a much higher price. There's a lot of due diligence out there that backs that position up if you want to look -- but you don't.

Here's the thing, you can like it or not like it. No one cares. However, it's worth noting that it's the only position you'll see be called names and screamed at. "Don't hold! Oh God it's been a year why are you still holding?! God! Stop! Please, stop!"
Disclaimer: I am a very happy Starlink customer that has no other option for internet besides terrible LTE.

Starlink never originally advertised the ability to transfer service or even sell your hardware. It was very clear from the beginning you had to use it for the address you provided, and their communication was very clear to that effect.

You are definitely correct that logically you should be able to sell your kit, transfer service, or just move with it (Elon has said you’ll eventually be able to use it on an RV). But you took that logical end result and set your own expectations based on assumptions that were not aligned with reality.

You are not in the target market, of course you’re going to be frustrated.
It's a good question without a simple clear answer. The shortest answer, which elides a lot of nuance, is that the shipping conglomerates (like so much in the current global supply chain) have been overly-optimizing for profit, at the expense of resiliency. That means consolidating business operations in fewer ports in order to drive up efficiency.

Long term I definitely would not be surprised if some of the bigger shipping players recognize the need to diversify and invest in operations facilities across more ports. But that takes time and money.

“In practice, it’s often politically difficult to argue for overt subsidies, and we resort to workarounds like net metering.“

The reason we have so many hidden subsidies (also: tax credits) is precisely the sentence above. It’s the difference between policy and politics. Few policies are designed well because the main force driving their creation is political support (or the lack of it).

> E.g. You having a busy day with 12 fires to fight, you remember 11 but forget that 1 someone text chatted you and you said yes right before person 2 came to your desk and added another etc.

Funny, I believe in the exact opposite: if you forgot about the 12th, it wasn't as important as the first 11th. By not adding things to any list, I let my mind dynamically curate the priorities and expunge cached entries that I'd like to rationalize as "important"... but that aren't enough for me to bother remembering them.

Forgetfulness can be a wonderful tool, because there will always be more things you may want to do than time. So instead of trying to achieve the impossible, I use this wonderful tool that comes factory installed in all human beings!

The reason we've lost that, fundamentally, seems to be the outsourcing and centralization of manufacturing.

A brand used to mean something.

Now, it's a sticker covering the "Made in X" label, to arbitrage the difference between customer goodwill and actual manufacturing costs.

It's pervasive throughout the grocery store and department stores, but to me McDonald's is the poster child. Ostensibly you're getting a "McDonald's meal", but what that fundamentally means is you're getting minimal-cost food, manufactured as centrally as possible, with a bare minimum of prep done in the store.

Drop shipping and popup social media brands are the ultimate realization of this. If a brand means nothing, why shouldn't I just fabricate one, leverage the same supply chain, and compete on advertising alone?

“Right to repair 2.0” playing out in Massachusetts cars
Ha, reminds me of the tiny 3G picostations you could get from your mobile operator for a while when 3G was in its infancy - if you said you had really poor signal at your home, they would send you a small 3G station you could use in your home and which used your own internet for data and calls....but the hardware had a GPS built in to make sure it was never moved from the address it was assigned to(otherwise you could take it say, abroad, and make calls with your own numbers without paying for roaming - not that in that specific scenario paying for roaming would have made any sense anyway).
Or millions of working people would suddenly be able to afford a gaming GPU and would disappear into imaginary worlds for a couple of weeks.
In my experience it's been totally unlimited. I try not to abuse it, but when I re-image my desktop, Backblaze will end up uploading multiple terabytes (even though I've inherited the backup state and the drive/directory structure is identical). I've never had a single issue.

The Home Internet service is 100% deprioritized compared to postpaid cell phone data, so they really are selling "excess" capacity.
This is ultimately what drove me away from Spectrum (along with some absolutely piss poor routing that introduced massive lag).

$95/month for 400/20. I don't need all of that download bandwidth, but I could use a bit more upload bandwidth.
Good piece...putting on my econ hat here, it would definitely be more accurate to say that prices are signals that reflect the all-in cost of moving products and their dependencies through a supply chain and to the consumer. These signals can be disrupted by many factors, including competition or lack thereof, regulation or tax policy, etc, that often can make things inefficient. But in the examples the author uses, it's not that the price is divorced from cost, it's that the price of video tapes reflects the all-in cost of production, distribution, as well as the cost of fighting piracy. High medical prices reflect the incentives and constraints of the system that has been built around the service. High drug prices reflect the cost of R&D, not the cost of pouring cheap compounds into a plastic mold.

Which is not to say that prices are not truthful per se -- just that pricing signals can be easily disrupted by factors not normally in the consumer's direct field of vision, and can be exploited by "loopholes" (which are just another way to send a signal back to the firm that the price is incorrect).
You should look it up - some farmers decided to lay down their own fiber (also for the neighbors) - access to tractors helps !
How does Chess engine timing work? Do chess engines strategically use up their time depending on the complexity or the criticality of the position?

Do both chess engines have equal machine power, cores, IOPS, CPU model, RAM, etc?

They're showing a game with an eval bar. How does it evaluate the position, don't you need a chess engine to evaluate and provide a score in the first place? Perhaps we're seeing two chess engines play against each other with a third one evaluating for the viewers? Is it the average evaluation between the two engines?

Even Tether has backed away from that claim. It has also backed away from the idea that Tethers are redeemable for physical dollars.

I majored in computer science and minored in math and psychology. I have to say, I loved my psychology classes, but in no way were they a replacement for my computer science classes.

I find the idea behind the extension good, but the name chosen is more of the usual trolling seen in online flamewars, revolving around arbitrary notions of morality based on people's particular religious/moral beliefs.

You're setting yourself up for having trolls explicitly leave negative reviews to tell you how X isnt really kind and it destroys rainforests and rats etc etc.

Is the perceived moral superiority alluded to by the plugin's name really a necessary selling point? Why not just go for a straightforward "does what it says on the tin" name like "SubstituteVegan" or "VeganizeYourRecipe" or something.

Might as well call it "AccordingToMySpiritualBeliefsYouAreAMurderousAssholeIfYouDontClickThis" while you're at it.

But I'm not quite sure I'm satisfied that this explains why they are so different. It is hard for me to believe that American semi-trucks are more fuel efficient than European ones (fuel is so much more expensive in Europe!), but this article seems to imply that they are.
Yep, I could have made it a better situation with some extra addition$ (I always put my Pi on a quality AC adapter from the start, those constant command line voltage nag warnings had their intended effect), but the cost of the SSD + another Pi is actually more than a used SFF device with a substantially more powerful Intel processor that comes with a M.2 SSD. It's amazing what you can get for < $50 these days. Great time to be alive for us tinkerers!
"carbon tax" is trouble to enact because you can't expect to rally support for something with the word tax in its name

Then people complain about where will that tax money go. It doesn't matter. The government could burn all the carbon tax money collected (& in fact, this would help against inflation). The purpose is to fix incentives, not find funding

I often thought about a concept of an “IDE” where there are no files. You would instead have a “database” of functions/classes that you work with. Some modern IDEs come close, but you still have to worry about files. I guess getting rid of files completely might require some extra magic from the IDE to make it work with current programming languages. Does something like this exist?

https://www.fbpurity.com/ is good. Blocks ads and sponsored stuff. You can customize what you want. Web only I think, not the app.
> is it possible to send and receive payments for free, at no cost, using any block chain technology?

I could be wrong, I don't believe there's any current blockchain scheme in which this is possible: they all rely on some positive financial incentive structure for verifiers, which translates to some transaction cost.

It's conceivable that, in the near future, more blockchain financial providers offer to cover transaction fees (the way my debit card covers FX and ATM fees). But that's not a meaningful improvement from the status quo, and it's still worse, fee-wise, for the average consumer than direct ACH or PCN transfer.

There're sayings about evil: evil by ignorance is bad, but willful evil with full knowledge and understanding is profoundly bad.

I seriously wonder if Satya Nadella is aware of how much harm Microsoft has caused the world, or if he ignorantly lives in a bubble where everyone around him tells him how wonderful Microsoft is, and how their work is somehow "helping" the world.

Microsoft has screwed up every attempt they've made at creating new communities or participating in existing communities, because they can't help but want to own the standards, which they then use to try to punish competitors. No matter how many accidentally reasonable products and services they have, nothing that comes from them should ever be trusted. They only care about money, although they're now slightly more aware of the bigger picture in ways that help them make more money in the long run.
It does (especially using computers), it's just that experiment is not the sole criterion of truth as it is in, say, physics.

Yeah ever since the pandemic started, speeds average closer to 700 Mbps down (which is still about 3x more than I've ever really needed...). I would gladly pay the same amount for like 100 down/100 up, but then Spectrum couldn't call their service "Gigafast".

Just over two weeks before this article, the author had written another describing their first week as a software dev where they were a 'complete newbie'.

This article comes across as rather arrogant to me. I agree that people of different backgrounds can bring new skills to the table, but the article seems to implicitly imply that people with the author's background are better at the things that really matter for a software engineering career than a CS graduate. It feels like this article is just the author trying to boost their own confidence.
I'm not sure I believe unions are the primary reason. Even non-unionized workers in fossil fuels make more than the average renewable job.

Maybe it's because renewables provide less jobs. Lower demand means lower pay.
It's definitely primarily because of the space on the streets. I would not want to try to maneuver a American Semi through Europe.
Well, my first two cats, I didn't realize I was allergic, because there's so many other allergens anyway. It became pretty clear the cat was a significant allergen with the second one, but it would take a lot for me to want to rehome a cat who I had bonded with and was well behaved. The current one was supposed to be a barn cat, which would be fine, but at least lately he's decided to hang out indoors a lot (he's well behaved and a snuggler). Cats and I get along well, other than the allergies.

In summary, humans do all sorts of things that are not wise; of all the stupid things I could do, this isn't so bad.

I can breathe, breathing through my mouse is normal for me, so if allergies clog up my nose, it's just another day.
As someone who considers themselves an outside onlooker, I disagree. Trump allowed all of the tribal people to out themselves. It's made it a lot easier to find people who stick to their principles and praised/criticized him where appropriate.
