https://metrics.torproject.org/bandwidth-flags.html corroborates what you say about utilitisation.

Exit nodes are legally difficult to host in many countries, which reduces diversity, which is a risk.

Onion services avoid the need the exit nodes, and thus the diversity risk.

The western government's desire to protect the plebes, the gangster tactic, is the scariest Western development of the 21st century. Instead of trusting people with their faculty of deciding for themselves.
No, the deductible is much lower. This is the maximum I can spend out of pocket in a year. But most ACA ("Obamacare") plans have no maximum for our of network providers.
I've been trying to get my energy provider to change the electricity meter serial number on my account for 4 months. The meter was changed 2 years ago, hence reset to zero, and I now can't provide them with readings because the current readings are lower than the last.

4 months, 3 separate calls, 5 separate email threads.

Even getting them to understand the problem is a huge challenge.

It's just a fucking database entry for godsake. 30 years in to the IT revolution and most businesses are still hopeless.

Ha. Contrary to everyone in here i ll say he is right. Please show me a timeline in which the Russian regime comes out of this stronger, or in which the faith in liberalism (democratic or better) is not restored.
The MBS quote says they got rid of every other form of the death penalty, but they couldn't get rid of this one clearly mentioned in the Qur'an. And the only crime the article says these executions were for was murder. So I'm going to guess MBS was talking about qisas.
Will 2022 Be a Golden Age for Full-Stack JavaScript?
Or you could, you know, clone the repository into a local working tree.
Then you, as Moicanu below, didn't understood my point: You learn less from the Elements than from later, curated sources.
Analogously, no one would advocate reading Newton's Principia to "understand where we came from".
You would first learn the theory (geometry resp physics) with up-to-date sources, then read a commentary of the original (which is often longer than the original), and only then you'd be able to get something out of reading a translation of the original.

Thus, by reading the original works you will confuse yourself with the obscure notation you will encounter, semi-circular arguments and other problems (both the Elements and the Principia are riddled with problems), which actually have prompted many many scholarly works commenting and fixing these.
Reminds me, when a team I worked in, had to migrate from one database to another (we were the only team left using that one, and no one was supporting it internally), but the new one had 22MB (or was it 44mb) limit on the total transaction size, while previous one did not have (AFAIR). Someone worked on splitting into several transactions (the bulk was really due to long recorded conversation "forum" like messages related to specific data), but overall it changed how things worked and had some issues initially... Who would've thought you would need that, years from the day it was originally designed...

> Driver payment is mind bogglingly complicated due to regulation differences in different places.

Are you expecting us to pat Uber on the back for managing to solve the impossibly difficult problem of actually paying their workers, as if that's a unique problem no other company has ever had to solve? Come on...

If you didn't want to handle the regulatory hassle of paying people in 50 countries, you didn't have to expand to 50 countries. You chose to expand to more locations, and that means you get to deal with the consequences of being in those locations.

Yes, it's complicated to build infrastructure to dispatch and pay your workers. But, come on, as middlemen, that is literally your only job. You don't even have to do the driving part!
> Notably, they include the main clauses of the Minsk agreements

This does not seem accurate. For one thing, the Minsk agreements mention particular districts of Donetz and Luhansk in their text. The change from addressing particular districts to demanding the recognition of Donetz and Luhansk as a whole (if that's not what the Russians have asked for, they've certainly not made that clear) is very significant even on its own. For all we know, these demands might just be part of a bargaining game and not seriously insisted upon - but the change from Minsk II does matter.
Probably a mix of both. Many of the founders of code review tools came from companies that had internal code review tools (Microsoft has CodeFlow, Google has Critique, Facebook has Phabricator) and they missed those tools after leaving those companies.
Others have already mentioned the classics, but if you're looking for something more off the beaten path, you can check out my book: No Bullshit Guide to Math & Physics which covers calculus in approx. 150 pages (Chapter 5).

You can see an extended preview of it here: https://minireference.com/static/excerpts/noBSmathphys_v5_pr...

And a standalone concept map here:

Check out the reviews on amazon if you're interested. It hasn't been adopted as the main textbook at any university yet, but many teachers recommend it as supplemental reading for their courses.
What WHO investigation said it didn't originate in China?

China have not allowed a proper investigation to take place i.e by people from outside of China. China originally tried to cover up the extent of the problem so I don't trust China to investigate China.

China dropped the ball here, there is no reason they aren't in the same stage as the rest of the world, other than their own decisions. As an autocratic state they can lock down apartment blocks and just stop people moving around and people can't do anything about it. It has ended up being the reason they still need to lockdown now.
For one, it assumes the average human consumes as much electricity as the average Finn.
I wrote http-translator which is one of the linked related projects. It has a smaller feature set, but is just a few hundred lines and can be easily extended to support new frontends (input formats other than curl) and backends (i.e., output languages).

https://ryan.govost.es/http-translator/ | https://github.com/rgov/http-translator

Mine was a project for learning modern-ish JavaScript, and I found that packages for parsing command line arguments in JS were generally poor. I wrote my own shell lexer that is simpler than Eric S. Raymond's in the Python standard library while passing the test suite, and since Burp Suite generates curl commands that use Bash ANSI C strings, I support those too. https://www.npmjs.com/package/shlex

If I were to do further development, I would ditch my curl command line parsing in favor of building curl with Emscripten and having it generate the full HTTP request, then leverage the existing request parser.

curl already supports a —-libcurl flag that generates equivalent C code, and it might be easy to extract the curl_easy_setopt() calls from it.

Both our projects should probably support the built-in urllib.request for Python; Requests isn’t always necessary anymore.
Sometimes timezones or the like change. So for future dates, those textual represations are probably better.

Example: in November you create an appointment in 6 months at 15h, but then your government decides, to not use summer time next year.

If you use timestamps your appointment will be wrong by one hour (humans tend to keep the 15h).

In general, I am a huge fan of timestamps, but I think it is good to know where they have their limits.
Just to confirm - No, the pasta does not cook for 24 minutes. It cooks for 9 minutes. 24 is the overall time it takes to get things to a state of completion (i.e. ready to start making portions for freezer).
There's no reason to assume that building the same nuclear reactor design multiple time will maintain the same cost or decrease. Even with the supposedly successful French nuclear program, costs increased over time, there was negative learning:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S03014...

There's huge huge risk in choosing a particular design and building even one of it, because we don't know if it will be constructible the first time, and we don't know if future builds of the first design will be more or less expensive.

When each build is a $10B roll of the dice with variance of 2-3x of initial estimates, it's a bit difficult to find rational financial backers. Especially when there's not that much profit to be had from even a successful build. The risk reward is completely out of whack compared to the other options for carbon neutral energy.
Do we know anything about whether severing the spine at the neck would be painful or not? I sometimes wonder if they experience intense pain in those final seconds.
I agree that for anyone wanting to improve "logical thinking" these books are a good start. In particular the last one is recommended, if you want to start having doubts about logic itself and the limits of logical reasoning ;)
People just need to be able to speak freely. Likes and dislikes and other scoring systems just encourage echo chambers and are almost purpose-built tools for astroturfing.

People are afraid to say their opinion because of the backlash. Not everyone has a well thought out opinion, that doesn't mean they deserve to be punished. The human experiment can only move forward with open displays of ignorance coupled with open-minded discussion and acceptance.

It's idealistic to think this could happen easily, but I see no other way for global civilisation to come to terms with our historical cultural differences.

We're either going to devolve into systems where nothing matters and everything goes, which frankly we already have with 4chan, or allow certain views to prevail over others, which literally every forum or approval-based channel has these days, or find a different way to share differences and come to terms with them, which I hope somebody invents soon.
There is relevance in that both countries execute their own citizens.

Wow, congratulations on the launch! I agree whole-heartedly that custom accelerators will fuel the next era of AI/ML advances.

I'm the founder of PrintNanny https://printnanny.ai/, which seems to fit the current use case for Tensil. My model's architecture is a "classic" CNN feature extractor, SSD box/region proposals, with a final non-max suppression op. I currently run a uint8 quantized TensorFlow Lite model on Raspberry Pi, without additional acceleration - but I'm very familiar with the hassle of using partially-closed source accelerators like Coral's Edge TPU. Excited to read through the graph compiler!

I joined your Discord, looking forward to tracking Tensil's progress.

I confess that I'm curious how you currently or intend to make money? How much time are you giving yourselves to figure out a sustainable financial model?

For what it's worth, I'm also ex-Red Hat and thoroughly understand the advantages of paying for high-quality support. I also want to re-iterate that I think that the accessibility of open-source ASIC/FPGA tools will define the future of AI/ML. This is important work that will change the world - I'm excited to see someone tackling it!
I wish people would spend less time on Mars and more time in asteroid mining. Building capital in space will be a real game changer and the results will be far more useful and practical. Colonization might even look realistic afterwards.
This very much depends on the ratio of retirees to workers.

Also automation may not play out so well for Chinese production, as it's more sensible for other nations to bring automated manufacturing onshore for a combination of reasons including reduced transport, supply chain certainty, stabler internal economics. Onshoring automated manufacturing could still use a significant amount of international remote labour, but the hosting country would capture more of the taxation from the manufacturing, which you mention as going to pay for the Chinese retirees.
This documentary (and the interview) is more about how our human nature prevents us from taking the problem seriously, and threatens any major efforts due to either our behavior in space/on colonies or due to relations between space and earth breaking down.

A bridge engineering analogy might be a documentary about how we are incapable of funding infrastructure or how we struggle to design and build new kinds of bridges where they can’t currently exist.
Electric aircraft doesn't really strike me as this kind of customer. Aircraft has relatively inflexible fueling demands based on customer demand that is reserved weeks ahead of time.

Bitcoin mining is commonly promoted as this kind of ideal electricity consumer. Hydrogen production could be another.

However, I think more interesting for this community would be to build some kind of demand response general computing datacenter. Basically, sell computing resources with poor availability guarantees, but at a cheaper rate than standard datacenters.

i.e. we'll run your batch jobs very cheaply, but we can't give you strong guarantees about how long it will take because we have to wait for excess grid electricity to have the energy to run them. Best case that's every night. Worst case we won't be able to run anything for weeks because Texas is going through another freak winter storm.
That is exactly how nuclear outages work. Everything is planned in a resource-loaded schedule and many of those resources are just there for the outage.

Finland is actually somewhat known for running short (1 year) cycles with very very short (<10 days for refuelling is not unheard of) refuelling outages every other cycle alternating with slightly longer maintenance outages. A more typical scenario in the US would be 18 month cycles with a 30ish day outage. Some plants are moving to 24 month cycles with slightly longer outages.

Capacity factor for nuclear plants in the US is consistently around 93% (similar figures in many other countries as well), which is significantly higher than other generation sources.
I don't want to demean anybody's hard work, but I can't even understand what this site is attempting to do. Is it some kind of website builder? Do you have any good examples of what this thing can do?
I've read the 'original' Elements, indeed. Apart from the geometric figures which were not even available in the original form of the manuscript, but added later as an aid, there is no obscure notation whatsoever. Indeed, there is no notation at all. It's all prose.
That works well for small repos or a few repos but if you want to find all cc files, at all release branch's, in your entire company and check for some exploit it is helpful to have a VFS. Makes it so you could also support N SCMs through one API. You just need to make a new VFS.
> Nuclear waste from power stations can be used as raw materials for nuclear weapons.

I imagine it's almost impossible to manufacture nuclear weapons 'quietly' with waste and sanctions/agreements stop this happening, while countries that go against these are able to manufacture nuclear weapons anyway (North Korea). So I don't think this is as big a risk as suggested.

The rest seem solvable by focusing on better secure designs and then moving from Uranium to another source. I don't know the difficulty of this but I can't imagine it's insurmountable?
Which accident are you referring to? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyshtym_disaster refers a source that claims 8015 deaths and no comparison to coal-fired power plants. Of course, one could argue that the accident was related to processing spent fuel into nuclear weapons material and would not have happened if it had just been buried. Or that it is should not be called waste if it's treated as raw material to something else.
And if you manage to convince someone this is an airplane crash type of problem, they start about the finances.

And they're right about it not being the cheapest option, so what can you say? They win the argument.

Next time you meet the person is at a protest where they don't want a solar farm where there is now a nice forest or pasture, no 24/7 moving shadows from huge wind turbine blades and that's after they pushed for a law to require more space between the edge of town and the nearest turbine, protesting for fish rights when hydro is being proposed (if that's possible in their area in the first place)...

People also love to gloss over that electricity is 10% of the problem. Whenever you see a headline about Germany having run on 90% renewable power last month or whatever, mentally replace that with 9% because energy used in transportation, building heating, etc. don't count towards this. And then we haven't even touched upon the problem of cement/steel/plastic yet, we're going to need breakthrough materials or negative emissions with capturing plants that, you guessed it, also require electricity.

It's apparently very hard to understand that we need to work on all fronts, not pick a partial solution and wait until that's exhaustively implemented (all reasonably available space occupied) 15 years down the road, then wonder why emissions are at record highs (see 2021).
- Time. This one took over a decade and a half to build, and that's pretty normal

- Cost. Literally billions of dollars, all upfront. This one was budgeted at $3B and ended up costing $10B+.

- Inflexibility. Almost all of the cost is in building one, so if you aren't running it basically 100% of the time at 100% capacity you are losing money.

When it comes to $/MWh, nuclear simply can't compete with fossil or renewable when demand is low. And you can't run it to pick up high demand because it gets even more expensive. The private market is simply not interested in them, unless they get a government guarantee that forces their production to be bought at a fixed price.

And there's of course the whole safety and waste argument, but I consider that to be secondary. All in all, nuclear is a could-have-been and mostly a side-effect of nuclear arms development. Neat technology, but there are way better options.
that is correct, the war started in 2014 by occupation of Crimea and eastern parts of Ukraine.

By Putin’s own words, he considered Minsk agreement as a capitulation for Ukraine. But Ukraine did’t want to capitulate, and instead took the time to rebuilt its army. For any Ukrainian it was obvious that Russia will invade soon to try to finish what it started.
Vaccinations don't have to be forced. I wasn't forced to get mine, I got it because I'm not an idiot.

Children are vaccinated all over the world every day for multiple different diseases.

Are boosters required for ever? What's your research on this? Where did you get your time machine?

Again the use of forever, masks and social distancing become nice to have options for people but after vaccination these are guidelines rather than mandates.

That’s kindof a tautology. Technically speaking, all hacks requires some kind of flaw, whether intentional (backdoor) or unintentional (bug); You can’t hack something if there’s nothing to exploit.

> The challenge from the company's perspective is that historically, people game the system and tragedy of commons scenarios can quickly become prevalent. For example, if you show high profit heat maps, you risk drivers flocking there and the balance of service reliability dropping elsewhere.

The challenge from the company's perspective is that they operate under and sell the delusion that app magic dust makes considerations about which neighborhoods you work in and which neighborhoods you don't disappear into smoke. This isn't a tragedy of the commons, it's a bunch of people who are working hard trying to maximize their efficiency. Uber tries to thwart them through deception and punishment.

Taxis didn't work unprofitable neighborhoods, and avoided dangerous ones. It wasn't personal.

If you really want to solve the problem, you make all the drivers employees, and guarantee their hourly income when they work. Then you send them out as inefficiently as you want, but you pay for that inefficiency.
that wasn't a short conversation at all.
>Modern medicine has some of the most secure practices, processes and methods to determine whether or not a treatment/vaccine can be securely administered.

As someone working at a vaccine company, I am the opposite of a science denier. We seem to agree on most things here.

The original point was narrowly scoped, specifically as a criticism of Moderna or perhaps all vaccines approved under emergency authorization. I am not aware of any specific risk, and so I accept them as safe, but at the same time I haven't gone out of my way to do any kind of deep research on it. So personally I'm ambivalent about the criticism of moderna - but I don't wish the stifle it or paint the person as a crazy anti-vaxer.
It is more than 14%. It looks like this plant, all three reactors together, might eventually cover a third of Finland's needs. But those are 2020 numbers. Increased electrification, especially EVs and moves away from gas, will probably reduce that percentage. In that context, the third reactor is only incrementally more powerful than those already running at the facility.

"The Olkiluoto plant consists of two boiling water reactors (BWRs), each producing 890 MW of electricity, together comprising 22% of the country's electricity generation for 2020.[1] A third reactor, Unit 3, is expected to be online in January 2022, and at 1,600 MW, will by itself satisfy 14% of the country's electricity demand."
