Russia has previously and frequently conducted (GPS) jamming exercises in the northern area, which has resulted in the same thing for pilots there.

EDIT: These things are more likely to happen in times of military exercises or similar activities. Right now there's lots of activity in the Baltic region - which is likely why things are happening.

Whenever there's large NATO exercises in Northern Norway, these things start happening.
They can't stop paying them from one day to the other. If they want to keep it legal, they need to continue paying for some legally mandated period.
For one thing, the negative comment appears to be claiming that the backend being more complex than the front end is a very strong indicator that the backend tooling was worse, and that in a web project, everything else equal, the front end should always take longer than the back end.

The entire premise is dubious, and even if the premise is correct, blaming it on the framework without any other evidence seems like a stretch.
Having taken a $30 Uber to drive 15 minutes lately, when a taxi would’ve cost $10 or so, I don’t think they’ve ultimately created much value with their rideshare service. They’ve basically just moved the entities around, and now it takes a lot longer to get a taxi.

Ultimately this is an era largely of the conglomerate, it doesn’t matter who you are unless you’re one of the big fishes. Media, Advertising, etc. Its no longer small shops that are creating interesting and useful things, at least not at the rate they were. It’s more likely to be an expansion out of a big company into a marketplace trying to sip an audience than it is a disruptor changing any of the game. The disrupters that exist must get and stay large as fast as possible as well.

I’m looking for things that don’t scale. I think we’ve basically poured all societies money into anything that might scale. We’ve found we have run out of those things. And all the problems we have left are things like education, homelessness, lack of meaning, healthcare, etc. All problems so entrenched I’m willing to say at this point they can’t scale, and therefore won’t be solved. Maybe the next technological revolution will be a social dynamic. Who knows.
Hey Walgreens, when I see this I’ll just never return to your store to subject myself to this garbage. Same as I never return to gas stations with screeching televisions on the gas pumps or retail stores with a million blaring televisions shouting ads in every isle.

I have been working last 1.5 years on my master thesis and I my setup evolved Colab -> Kaggle -> Azure ML.

Colab you is great for diving into examples that are already premade for colab.

Kaggle is better in my opinion in dataset handling, you can import public or upload your dataset with ease. They give you 30+ gpu hours for a week with ability to train your models in background. This can’t be done in Colab.

ML Azure platform is next level when you can pay for it. I’ve got credits from school. You can start experiments from python sdk with your own configurations, setup python environments, upload datasets, etc.
> system now relies on self reporting from RAT tests

When my social circle finally got COVID, the rapid tests didn't work at all for almost all of us. One friend even tested himself 15 times with them, and he definitely used it right. We used various RATs. PCR showed positive for Omicron though.

I don't think those tests are as reliable as they're claimed to be.

I would think hospital stats matter more than active cases though.
>>60 for chicken?

In India going back as early as 1960s, Chicken used to be a very expensive delicacy.

I think poultry farming at scale is kind of a recent phenomenon.
Yep, been that way for a while. I remember a couple of years ago Amazon Prime refusing to play HD on a PC made from parts bought from Amazon (well, the significant ones, definitely the GPU), on a dumb TV bought via Amazon, using an Amazon branded cable...

Content obtained via torrent played, and still does, at 1080 perfectly well though, if you are looking for a workaround. I currently pipe stuff to the TV from my media array via Kodi on a Pi.

(I do actually pay for Prime, though mainly for the delivery options, and Netflix, but still consume their content "my" way more often than not)
Induction also heats up the power electronics inside the cooker. That's why they need a beefy cooling fan.

I have done the math... Induction is 84% efficient, and gas is 40% efficient. So for most people, gas is still cheaper, unless you live in an area with very cheap hydroelectric.
We don't need massive breakthroughs in energy storage. And the goal is overall carbon-neutral, not carbon-zero. And other than wind and solar, we also have hydro and geo-thermal. The latter might become a very important part of the mix, as it would be relatively easy to securely and relatively cheaply deploy a lot of small scale heat pump power plants, requiring fewer massive power line installations, with the added benefit that geo-thermal basically works independent from the time of the day and weather conditions.

As for storage, one way to "store" energy is hydrogen, which we can then burn as needed. We can probably get the efficiency of that to 70% (for hydrogen-burning larger-scale power plants).

Pumped-storage hydroelectricity is another existing option, with an efficiency of about 70-80%.

It's also OK to have some carbon emissions if you can manage to have other measures neutralizing that. We can e.g. use renewable biofuels (e.g. wood, biomass from algae or crops) which "use" a lot of carbon while growing to remove a lot of the emissions the power plants produce, and can with filter technology remove the rest to a degree where we'd still be neutral overall.

As I see it, we already got all the basic building blocks, and now it's a matter of optimizing them further and further, and more importantly figuring out the development and deployment (including financing, investment incentives, etc) and logistics (building the additional power lines required is a massive, politically-charged, often NIMBY-kind challenge here in Germany, and from what I hear in a lot of other places including the US too).

The deployment and logistics is a general problem of electrification, even with nuclear. People want to plug in their EVs near where they live, and want heat in their homes, so you either need additional power lines or (smaller scale) power plants close to people and industry, either way.

I love C# and working with it is often a great fit for a lot of use case, and most of those points are valid.

But point #5 - "Myth 5: .NET Isn’t Open Source Friendly" is unfortunately still not good enough. It's not enough that Microsoft is no longer actively hostile to open source (especially in .NET), the ecosystem needs to be too, and right now the ecosystem is dominated by first-party offerings and have little serious third party involvement, even when they do exists a lot of them are not open source.
Somehown I think the literature on excel is lacking. Do you know any reference which shows 'how to use it' in your sense?
Ah nice, I had this idea and was thinking of implementing it. This is probably a very scary idea for a lot of people, but the reality is that it's no different with regards to security than other approaches, but it's vastly simpler (which should be a win).

I can't speak to this specific implementation, but the reality is that if your master password is leaked you have to rotate every credential no matter what.
Who are potential neutral? Why would those be useful to anyone? Russians by large stand by Putin or think Ukraine deserve it. That is with or without sanctions.

Sanctions don't have potential to make Russians more passive or less likely to protest, because that society haven't done that for years.

Putin cracked down on internal opposition years ago. That included murders of Russians. This is not the first war Russia is in either. And not much opposition was visible whole time.

This is true, I am using Vaultwarden now rather than actual Bitwarden.

That's not what this is about. Negative electricity prices are rare, and do not account for the massive difference in utilization between renewables and nuclear. By the way nuclear power output can be ramped up and down by a lot, and in a matter of minutes in case of unplanned problems, even if it can't (really shouldn't) go to dead zero.

The person I responded to claimed that nuclear plants run at close to 100% because they bid low because the marginal cost of their electricity production is low, but the same is true for renewables like wind and solar. Yet these renewables run at much lower utilization rates - because of weather and daylight cycle, not "because they can", except in rare cases of negative prices as you mentioned.

I really dont think an interviewer is gonna care if all your experience is in C# rather than Java. The language itself is basically the same thing.
IMHO software development is closest to research work. E.g. a software development company is much closer to a research institute or design center than an assembly line in a factory. Unfortunately in reality it's more often treated like a late-medieval manufactory, or at best a scriptorium in a monastery.
What the actual fuck. If you ever come to Australia the Commonwealth Bank and Australia Post apps are two examples to restore faith in humanity.

They are functional, practical, reasonably intuitive and they keep improving with actual valuable and handy features. Every now and then it still boggles my mind when I use them.

Whenever there is a request for reviews I make sure to mention it. I hope the dev team is paid well because they clearly deserve it.
Using Scrapy pipelines to export scraped data
Jamming and spoofing GPS poses less risk than imposing a no fly zone.
Yes they claim that they don’t use the personal information they collect to target ads.

It doesn’t mean they don’t use the other data for analytics. They could also anonymise the personal information first before using it to do analytics. Like “users who visit example.com also visit “store.example.net” is good information and they don’t need your personal information for that.

Why do they collect personal information? Why do they collect dns logs ?
I moved to a UK home with induction. Its not on the gas grid though. Some homes use bottled gas but I think induction is common for that situation. Otherwise I know some apartments with induction. But overall yes, mostly gas hob, although everyone in uk has electric ovens unlike US.
I would say the exact same thing if the circumstances weren’t so dire, but an NVIDIA GPU is so expensive nowadays that it might be a bit better to use rented services (like the paid version of Google Colab) for now, if you have any monetary constraints.

Maybe GPU prices will stabilize after Ethereum switches to POS and manufacturing pipelines get back to normal, but then I’m not that sure after seeing US trying to go ham with sanctions all over the place.

I don't know what you're talking about. My family-in-law is from Mainland China. My wife's sisters are married to different provinces. My nephews and nieces all pick up their non-Mandarin mother tongues.
Yes. It is a bit ”buzzy” but the external controls make up for it.
Unless I'm mistaken, I'm not seeing any discussion here on how to remedy this situation. Given that this site is a prime nexus for tech folks this lack of discussion is disappointing.
I wanted to say exactly this.
The United States do not have the ability to degrade or deny a gps signal based on location unless that particular location has a physical GPS jammer. I don't see what the US would gain from disrupting civilian airtraffic navigation. Just stop with your "either is a likely cause here"-spiel.
That is why we should immediately replace fossil fuels with renewables right?
Indeed.

I’ve been somewhat amazed at how China has handled it as of late. I get the short-term goal - stop Covid from taking hold by isolating new outbreaks. They have the manpower and the organization to isolate entire cities, do mass testing and lockdown neighborhoods.

But:

1. It’s pretty clear with Omnicron the higher infectivity is making that task harder and lockdowns longer

2. The lockdowns have real economic impact that you might be able to weather in the short-term AND while other countries are in the same bucket, but it’s not a long term solution.

3. What is their long-term goal? Maintain zero Covid forever? Impossible unless a highly effective vaccine that prevents transmission is invented.

I have family in another authoritarian country that took a similar approach to China. It bit them in the ass when the outbreaks were bigger than they could handle so then it became massive vaccination (by coming hat in hand to the companies/countries that they had earlier told “we have it under control”).

Now it’s pretty much endemic, but hospitals aren’t overwhelmed so the government is just forging ahead. I think mostly due to the massive economic hit the country took.

My guess is China will end up doing the same as the Western countries - once they realize Omicron isn’t that serious in vaccinated individuals, they’ll just stop restrictions and pretend that was the plan all along and pat themselves on the back on how much better and smarter China handled it.
I'm not sure I quite understand your comment.

Is this mobile or desktop that we are talking about here? Mobile worked correctly for me. Integration for all of these password managers on desktop isn't great, and using the fingerprint to unlock, similar to 1Password, would be nice.

It isn't changing. I may be projecting, but this grave mood has been dominant since the first day of the war.

On the contrary, when Puting announced the recognition of two Donbass republics as independent countries a few days before the war, there was a round of cheer and optimism -- because that would mean that the cross-border shellings in Donbass will finally stop. But that cheer has completely evaporated the morning the invasion started.

(Take this with a grain of salt -- this is based on my personal observations of my relatively narrow social circle, plus I may be projecting).

Are they fussy about where responses come from? If not then you can redirect to your local filtering DNS service. If they do "protect" themselves that way then I'll add them to the list of devices that I'll never knowingly connect to my network.
In the 20th century, Europe tried every strategy to keep the peace.

First, we tried deterrence. Touch a hair on my brother's chin, and I'm going to give you a haircut you won't forget. That didn't work. Blew up in our faces, WW1.

Then we tried appeasement. That didn't work. Blew up in our faces, WW2.

Finally we tried economic cooperation. Make everyone rich and interdependent, and they won't want to go war. That worked spectacularly, and ever since we've been milking that successful strategy for everything it's worth.

People are very eager to talk about how that strategy failed with Putin, but what they forget is that this is the only winning strategy there is.

We are switching over to deterrence now, but we're doing it for lack of a better choice, not because it's a winning strategy. If we had switched over to deterrence (or appeasement) earlier, it would not have fixed anything, it would only have changed the manner in which things went wrong.

"But doux commerce—the notion that money talks, walks, and wants peace—is well and truly buried."
I'm hearing the words of an American who's still at step 1, deterrence.

It may be a long time, but eventually we will need to get back to the winning strategy.

"Password Store" Android app by Harsh Shandilya is actually quite good.
> Do you still have to do social distancing, limiting numbers, limiting hospitality, QR checkins etc? Are people living in fear of Covid etc?

Yes to all of the above in New Zealand. I was stuck there for some time after a short trip turned into a multi-month stay when their most recent lockdown was introduced, preventing me from flying out.

There was and still is a lot of fear surrounding Covid (it seems to a staple of their approach), but on talking to family still there, it seems to be slowly coming back down as Omicron rips through and most people come to grips with the idea of catching it.
Please stop using whataboutism arguments for anything. It's beyond useless in that it posits hypocrisy as an argument to do... nothing. The world is not zero sum and one action done virtuously need not endlessly be weighed against what was not done.

Next to ad hominem, it's the lowest common denominator of arguments and doesn't belong here (or anywhere else).
Suggestions welcome.

A decision will be made soon on building Sizewell C. Again, this will be the same as Hinckley C.

It should be noted that Hinckley C is penciled in to start operations in 2026. Hopefully if they give Sizewell the go ahead this year it will be in service 2031.
Fully agree with this.

It seems like so many of the apps that come to dominate just make up for shortcomings unique to the US that then, with money, take over the rest of the west for no good reason other than scale to get 25 people at the top of those companies rich.

I’ve never seen the need for Uber. Taxis have never been an issue in the UK and the most successful firms in the city I lived when Uber was starting out already had apps. Literally the only thing Uber had going for it was masses of money to undercut the market and advertise to younger millennials - basically their excess money allowed them to get better distribution and cheat the market.

I’ve used Uber three or four times in my life and each time was a worse experience than a taxi.
Every rental I've lived in has not had ventilation.

It has had a range hood with a fan... and zero ductwork. The fan pulls up from under the hood, and blows it straight into my face, out the top of the hood.

The Weakness of the Despot

That's a fun metaphor. I don't think it's _literally_ true :)

Adding software got easy because development evolved, and supply
exceeded demand. The "Internet of Trash" is my go-to example. Modern
engineering got so good, and we're surrounded by so much efficient,
durable technology that manufacturers ran out of ways to add
value. So they started figuring out how to:

1) add internet connectivity whether it's wanted or not

2) control and break things using software

3) extract profitable data from users

All of these just kick the can down the road toward more solutionism
without really innovating in the original engineering domain.
"China is Entering Lockdown" seems like a massive overstatement. A couple of Tier 1 cities != China.
Working with a large well known tech company, with surprisingly basic/non-existent ML until only very recently.

Using Redshift to do a lot of the heavy lifting and initial data preparation, then SageMaker for hosting models and scoring, and Tableau for dashboards.

While you can do training within SageMaker, we have a cluster of EC2 instances using H2O libraries (xgboost) to train, then wrap the resulting model as a docker image and deploy it to ECR and link to a SageMaker endpoint.

Clunky and very much human-in-the-loop for training and deployment, but you can't run before you can crawl in this space.
That doesn't sound right to me. The only place where you're paying $30 for an Uber where 1. it would have been possible to call a taxi, 2. the taxi only costs $10, 3. it's a 15 minute drive, is in the middle of a big city. In that case, why are you calling an Uber instead of using public transit?

Yes, Ubers are more expensive than taxis in some cases, but in many other cases, they can do things that taxis can't.

Boil some water and watch where the steam goes. Because it's pulling air from around the pot along with it, including the hot waste gasses that heated the pot in the first place.

Even on the highest settings, I've never seen one that even makes a dent, or moves the column at all. They're snake oil and fashion, nothing more. And that's before talking about the ones that don't have any ductwork, and just blow it back out into the room.

Commercial-grade ones that move ridiculous quantities of air definitely work, and a tiny tiny handful of people have these in their homes. The rest have essentially nothing.
