Yeah it's actually very common, it's called pumped storage. Many power pricing models will treat them identically to batteries given they also bid into what's called the "ancillary services market," which exists for reliability purposes to balance the grid when supply and demand don't perfectly match up. You can read about other types of storage on the PJM ISO website: https://learn.pjm.com/energy-innovations/energy-storage

I definitely don't know much about general relativity, but isn't it yet another model/theory? A better one I bet, but one that still relies on information, so when we talk about "mass changes spacetime...", well my question remains: "how does the universe know, for instance, the mass of the sun in order for the universe to allow the deformation of spacetime that the sun causes?" I know it's probably not a rational question, but I used to ask that question to myself when I was a student.
Note that I was mainly responding to the comment about std::thread using pthread internally. Not only is that not necessarily true, as the platform may not even have pthread, in those cases where it is true it's also true of the implementations of all other languages. How does Java do threads on UNIX other than by sooner or later calling pthread?

I totally agree that sockets is a long overdue oversight in the language.

Don't use cron, use Jenkins.
I think the 5 states thing is a confusion of the reporter.

The theory is saying that energy (or mass) can be converted to information and that it isn't a quality of matter.
Companies have to thrive in the world; you don't sh-t where you eat. They need thriving communities and economies, to provide customers, employees, wealth, roads, air travel, legal systems, etc. etc. etc.

Also, companies are run by human beings, and human beings care about others and have morals, and will to a degree act on them regardless of profit. It's interesting that people expect humans do other unprofitable things, especially corrupt ones, but insist we won't do moral unprofitable things.

Policemen wear guns, and it doesn't sound like an organized crime.

The root of the word "siloviki" is "sila", which means "force". And it is about using force in order to perform their job. Like policemen do. Or security guards. Or soldiers.

And it is not used to refer to crime activities. They also use force, but they are not "siloviki".

I've owned a couple DX-7s. I just can't get into the original. The DX7 mk2 was a really cool instrument and I'm glad the V has some of those sounds. I messed with FM7 a bit too. I've seen mention of Dexed for years but haven't tried it out.

Apple Music is just so increadibly bad UX wise. I have a real hard time justifying paying for it and have considered many times to switch back to Spotify. Trying to find new and interesting music is pretty much impossible outside of the "here's what people listen to now" playlists. You need to know what to look for when searching for things.

Spotify was great for finding indie music bands, and could really give good recommendations. Apple music is not even in the same league.

Yes, but it's also about turning a profit, because you have to incentivize power producers to build pumped storage / batteries / etc. The ISO markets are unregulated in that respect, since the government doesn't build or control the power plants.
> Might be more expensive, but swapping out the broken module the OBD reader told you to swap is probably not going to be that hard.

Where are you going to get that replacement module (which is entirely proprietary) after the dealer is no longer selling them?

When the throttle cable on my 1950s car snaps I can simply get a new cable from a thousand places. A cable is a cable.

A hundred years from now, I confidently bet that there will be a lot more still-running cars from the 1950s-1990s than any newer ones because the newer ones become quickly impossible to fix as soon as the factory and dealer stop carrying those model-specific propietary parts.
I feel like this article misses the point that SSO is intended to benefit organisations, not users. The selling point is that if an IT department can point a new service at Active Directory or something, it's going to be much less of a headache than managing n sets of user credentials.

Oops, I thought I was in the comment thread I replied to that was explicitly calling out the 60’s.

The 90’s have tons of examples of manipulation (Gulf War 1?), as do the 80’s, 70’s, etc etc.

It’s hard to contextualize any of that without being embedded in it though. What age were you then?
This is warfare. If the actions of the Russian military deny them all humanity and rights, then that is true of every side in every war. Morality and laws of war mean nothing; they will never apply by that standards. If they only apply to saints, what good are these rules?

What about the US and what they did in Iraq, such as at Abu Ghraib, or during the war on terror? Who meets your standards?
Building and exporting weapons is illegal (without lots of government approval). Attacking computer systems of other countries is illegal (even if they're Russia). Russians already have all the tools they need to bypass censorship.

Do you have any ideas?

I agree completely, except for the part where you are 100% sure they don't have any (working) nukes.

I think it's possible, even likely that their nuclear arsenal is in shambles and much is non-functional.

A cash-strapped regime like Russia has surely made the same observation as you and realized that they can reap all of the deterrence benefits without actually spending any money to maintain nuclear readiness.

Unlike you, I do think it's likely that at least some of their arsenal is functional. Perhaps it's not the full "turn the US into a parking lot" array they'd like others to think they have, but I find it hard to believe they have none.
People learn things differently. Some people learn a lot better in a lecture than reading it. Also it gives you a chance to interact with the speaker and other audience members at the same time and ask questions and have a discussion. It also lets the speaker tailor the talk to the audience and their questions.

Both formats have their place, and often a talk is turned into exactly what you describe -- a blog post with a text description, a highlight reel, and the full talk (that you can watch at 2x speed if you really want to).
We bought the Concept2 SkiErg and Rower a while back specifically because they were used in gyms in the area and held up to daily abuse well. The quality is fantastic considering we paid about $800 each. Highly recommend the Concept2 equipment.
i blame lawyers in general. the more subjugated a customer is, the cleaner their interaction is with contracts, and the less money is spent on lawyers working through the specific situation. Especially relevant in the event of tragedy.

"your car exploded? well you didnt use a triple certified dealership for your last oil change so you cant hold us accountable for that. says so in the contract."

now obviously if a car had that level of danger.. you wouldnt even be able to get the oil change done anywhere but the dealership. and in modern times where we try to hold companies responsible for everything we possibly can, it makes sense that anytime there is a remote possibility of liability, they attempt to gate the customer out of it completely.

i feel like the general population has either grown to be, or always has been, so indifferent towards subtle legal differences that we continue broadening the strokes of liability which is causing us to lose the power to do many basic things ourselves as a trade off for avoiding any personal responsibility tied to the consequences of doing those things improperly.
> Since every particle is supposed to contain information, which supposedly has its own mass, then that information has to go somewhere when the particle is annihilated. In this case, the information should be converted into low-energy infrared photons.

How does this compare to the very very low amount of heat released when a bit is erased under Landauer's principle? How many bits does a particle store? Does it store its location? Does the number of bits needed to store that depend on a choice of units, frame of reference, and resolution?

The thing is, in the usual tech companies lots of them already do. They rest and vest. The engineers becomes much more efficient in handling the usual workload. They could choose to stay at the same level and not to get promoted.
From https://medium.com/behavior-design/the-toothbrush-trick-used...:

> Larry Page, CEO of Alphabet (the company formerly known as Google), has a quirky way of deciding which companies he likes. It’s called “The Toothbrush Test.” According to the New York Times, when Page looks at a potential company to acquire, he wants to know if the product is, like a toothbrush, “something you will use once or twice a day.”

Yup. A quick search suggests HDMI runs at clock speeds of 25MHz to 340MHz. Not running that over a relay! Also HDMI is many pins, so you would need a low impedance high pole count relay even if it was possible, and such a relay plus the device wrapped around it plus some profit margin means you're not making it any cheaper.

Hacker News isn't an activist group, it's a tech website. Individuals on this site may or may not be "doing" something about Ukraine but there is no reason to associate this with HN being "good" or "bad".

Even just the fact that the artist gets to specify the play order. Today it's rare that a playlist will even have two songs from the same artist in sequence, but in olden days you could have a sequence that was greater than the sum of the parts. My favorite example is the last 3 songs on side A of The Cars Candy-O - Double Life is kind of relaxing, Shoo Be Doo cranks up the tension, and Candy-O starts with a crescendo that releases the tension. I don't actually know if that was intentional, but it feels like it was.

My experience is completely opposite of the author's. I sign on once a day when I access a service that uses my firm's SSO solution. I'm then automatically signed in to all other services as I use them. It's quite seamless. I have no complaints about the SSO setup in my firm.
Donate it to the Internet Archive. Their Open Library initiative can take care of those details.
downstream SSO consumers sure do like to expire em quickly and idk why. using jumpcloud SSO with several sites is not painful, aside from things like github hiding a tiny line saying "sign on w sso" and making the tables where stuff would be shown empty so it's initially easy to miss you're not fully signed in. like just kick me to full sso button screen instead of showing a bunch of stuff i cant interact with until i click that banner

Insightful Thread on Russian Economy
The primary reason for not enabling every list is that some additional % of sites will "break" (although frequently, this will only be cosmetic).

An example of this is that the lists can block very general class or id attribute such as #cookie-banner. While it's likely that you'll want this blocked in general, some small number of sites may have an element (unfortunately) named this that is functional and that you actually want to see.

Because some of the lists have tens of thousands of entries, these edge cases can add up to break more sites than is actually desired. So there is a give/take there.

Another point is that some of the lists are redundant but have different maintainers. So it may make sense to choose one of these, but you it would just be additional overhead to check them all.

In my experience, running the default lists along with the "Fanboy's Annoyance" list and a few custom entries in "My filters" provides a good experience for me.

As someone who's been developing for nearly 40 years now in both startups and big engineering (not big tech) companies - yes, this is definitely something I want to do in five years. I can retire, which gives me access to affordable healthcare without having to go on medicare, and I can still work doing something I enjoy while scaling back. Ideally I'd like to work Monday-Thursday for something like 5 hours per day, so it'd still be only 20 hours per week. Doing it at 60% of my current salary would be nice. I'm actually surprised that more companies aren't starting to do this.

> Is it better to misrepresent contemporary beliefs as truth?

The possibility that a modern book may be incorrect does not override the fact that older books about rapidly changing topics (like the book on HIV/AIDS) will contain information which has been superseded or disproven, or that compilations of time-sensitive information (like the 1989 directory of self-help groups) are useless when they become outdated.

> That book looks interesting, and the blogger's justification for weeding it is "I don't understand video game development"...

The more detailed justification is: this is a simple book (48 pages, large type, lots of pictures) made for children. Nuances like "computers don't use BASIC anymore" or "the video game industry has changed a lot since then" are likely to be lost on them -- and, to be frank, there was never a lot of concrete information in the book to begin with.

i’m also not a db engineer, but i think this is true-ish. however building and maintaining those index tables is hard and probably prone to issues if you can’t update multiple as part of the same transaction.

the other major thing you’d miss is smarter joins. the distributed databases do a lot of work to be able to push down predicates as far down as possible to the physical nodes storing the data.

there’s probably more as well.

The challenge is not really with institutions, there are not that many of them, but rather with social media, individuals, commenters, state actors posing as 'regular people' etc..

Scoring how much you trust an entity to determine the truthfulness of information they are generating is flawed.

In no way does this properly verify information’s truthfulness in and of itself.

Even scoring “Information.Source.Trust Score”, which is just a single aspect of information, is still far more difficult to do than you apparently realize. How can a human build such a score with no bias?
