So long, city slickers Taking the slow road back to the country
As I’ve settled into post-London life, I’ve begun to think it might be the better place to plan an uncertain future. Many of the habits that city life ingrained into me—fierce individualism, an addiction to instantly gratifying my every need, an expectation that my income would continue rising, and a propensity to always be looking around the corner for the next exciting trip or distraction—feel ill-suited for what faces us.
No you just believe art must have a value either from the artists skillset or materials and this is just not true at all.
> Could this be used as precedent if you release software and claim that it's open-source, but don't provide full source or even any source at all? Probably not IMHO.

That would be unfortunate, because there are companies that claim their products are "open source" even though they clearly aren't. For example pritunl markets their product as open source on their website, but while the source code is available on github, it is licensed with a proprietary license that doesn't let you do basically anything with that source code.
Well suppose to libpng depends on glibc version 6.0, but when you try to link your app it will find the latest glibc 6.1. Only one of these versions is going to get loaded at runtime. The compiler's not going to check compatibility between all the different libraries.
Securing critical infrastructure: A view from the top
It's my current living nightmare. Endless treadmill of:

1. Our contract manufacturer calls in a panic no longer able to obtain/was shorted on a shipment of part XYZ. XYZ is increasingly becoming random "jellybean" parts like MOSFETS, oscillators, to slightly-more-complicated but not "fancy" stuff like serial transceivers, USB stuff, NOR flash, load switches. TI is the bane of my existence currently.

2. Search for a drop-in or near drop-in replacement. There are none, because that's what everyone's doing.

3. Search for alternative designs. Maybe the component is in distributor's stock (Digikey, Mouser, Newark, etc), maybe it's not.

4. Test the alternative design. By the time I receive parts, prototype, test, guess what? Can't get those parts anymore. Go back to step #2.

5. Fall behind on all of my other NPD responsibilities. Stress, burnout, acceptance. Lament not going into another engineering field. Feel bad about my midwest metro area compensation in comparison to a bunch of Silicon Valley SWEs on website.

6. GOTO #1
Most corporation don’t hire iOS developers because of their great UX skills. They have an entire department to worry about the look and feel of the app.

They likely had trouble making it cheap and durable enough for the target market. Looking at the design files, the unit is quite fragile, thanks to the cheap vacuum formed plastic.

What needs to be done is using some of the GIS tools they released to find good locations for air->water setups, is figure out what materials and manufacturing techniques are available in those locations. This way you are more likely to design something that makes a difference. Anything built with materials or techniques that are not local will break, and they will be unable to repair because they do not have access to either the materials or the tools needed to do repairs.

Ahhh, the 2nd rendering bible, together with Eric Veach's thesis: https://graphics.stanford.edu/papers/veach_thesis/

I've spent my entire life studying this stuff and feel extremely lucky on so many levels: that we have these incredible computers which can actually do the computation, that we happen to have such a powerful theory that can model and even predict visual reality, and perhaps most of all, that a single person can learn all this stuff and carry it around with them everyday - it's really changed how I see the world.

My deepest thanks go to those who have developed and passed all this on through their papers and books; it's literally what I'm getting the meaning of life from.

"Have", obviously. That's the only one that goes with "do", being in the present tense. Otherwise it would be "I did (get them)".

Not that it matters anyway, since "have got" is a weird double-barrelled construct: It means exactly the same as just "have" or "got" on their own, so take your pick.

By default, you can use Zotero without logging in, which will cause it to keep everything locally. It's not obvious how you might go about partially syncing to the cloud, however.

In practice, though you shouldn't store the SQLite in a cloud sync service, setting up a symbolic link for the backing PDFs in e.g. Dropbox works quite well and gives you more control over your data syncing. Then, you only need to rely on their cloud for the paper titles and metadata.
They;re still trackers and there's no reason to think that data collected for "analytics" isn't also used for "advertising", or for "selling to the highest bidder if we get desperate enough for money".

> training to 29m people by 2025

I have to be skeptic at the quality of the training. I think there are going to be 28.8m half baked educations from this. Not saying this is necessarily a bad thing since not everyone needs to be a great cloud engineer, but I feel like there will be a lot of situations where 6 people are struggling through a problem that one decently trained person could knock out without issue.

Not necessarily a criticism here, but more of a general anecdote on education now that I think about it. The amount of classmates I had in university that couldn't get something simple done, despite having a solid four year CS education is unfortunate.

It's a remote origin, once I clone and branch which I can do from a mirror, I can write and commit as much as I want to the repo, where I push the change up to is ultimately my decision assuming I have access. The point stands, these companies use Github to act as a mirror/backup for their project in the event of something like a disaster (e.g. datacenter fire).

There is no perfect solution and there never will be. Everything has associated cost. You're focused on the distribution of devops tooling, but that is only a fraction of the story. Many large companies have moved to Saas based products because they realize doing it themselves comes with significant cost. An hour or two of downtime is cheaper then a datacenter, equipment, bandwidth, licensing, and expertise to manage all of it.

It's a simple cost benefit analysis. You need to look at this issue through the lens of a business and not just an engineer would be my advise. Interestingly enough you can only point to OSS projects which rarely pay for tooling anyways.

> the licensing models are so arcane and difficult to grow that you basically need an expert to figure it out

This. Just had a call with MS today on a different matter, and the guy basically had no idea how licensing worked. All he could say was something like "we don't actively enforce those, so if you don't do anything ridiculous, we won't come banging on your door. But you should schedule a call with our licensing specialist who'll be able to help you out, just to be sure".
Yep, I’m sure that’s going to solve the problem. It’s been the last for five years and the situation has gotten worse.
I’m not sure those people would make great surgeons or physicians as a rule. I don’t think lack of talent or intellectual horsepower in medicine is an issue at all.
No, you are confused, no one questions that people are indeed getting banned for "hate speech". This just doesn't proof that "hate speech" is an actual thing with a definition. It just means that it is in fact used to get rid of people for various reasons.

Breaking the ToS is also not the problem here the problem here is that ToS are written unspecific, specifically when they put things like "hate speech" in it because no one know what will fall under it and what not. The whole point of rules should be that people should be able to understand and comply with them easily. Instead they are used as a general propose banning reason for anything the owner may not like.

>Twitter banning someone for inciting violence is no different than a mod banning someone on a web forum for disagreeing that ATI video cards are not the best. You can't call people the n-word on facebook. If you don't believe that is real I'm not sure I have the energy to expand on it for you (perhaps someone else can).

It its not about the rules, who or why someone put them up or that they have the right to do that. Its about mutual agreement as to how the rules are interpreted else they make no sense. "Hate speech" rules make no sense because no one know how they are interpreted.

Lets say I open a forum and say in the rules "no hate speech" and then when someone says "I hate dogs" I ban them for "hate speech". Clearly I can do that since its my forum and I can do whatever I want. But that doesn't make "I hate dogs" actual "hate speech" nor does it proof that "hate speech" is a real thing. All this does it give me backdoor to remove almost anyone I want for a "pseudo reason" which I didn't need in the first place but it makes it look like I just enforce the rules and remove the bad guys.

And that is exactly what these platform do. If people would get banned for no reason given then people would question it so they put up reasons like "violated community guidelines" and similar stuff and then people assume it was the users fault. But is it the guys fault who wrote "I hate dogs"? Is that hate speech? And if so did he knowingly broke the rule? He could only know if "hate speech" is defined somehow but it isn't. Everything the platform owner hates is or can be defined as hate speech at any given time.

Hence my original post that there is no such thing as "hate speech" its a made up term to include whatever someone wants it to include.

I've gotten a sour taste for the destruction of good writing with "Here's how your 802.11a/b/g networking card works with networking concepts for easy how to network" spam that populates search engines, and I've seen this never-ending SEO arms race that seems to be its own job that takes as much time as the making of the content, and I don't know if it's worth doing something I hate if I don't know why I'm doing it.

Mostly, I want to write to simply understand, but I've had delusions of grandeur that this may be more valuable to someone, but it's hard to know if anyone legitimately shares my endeavors to broadly understand the way I do.

I imagine other people have this problem: you work on a project for years, the purpose morphs a few times, and you're left wondering why you're still doing it. This isn't really a business I can "sell", but I'd feel a tremendous sense of loss if I deleted all of it on a whim.

It seems like the second is meant to produce a nitric acid or nitrate end product, not ammonia. Maybe introducing electrolytically produced H2 and N2 immediately would yield ammonia directly without the round trip through nitric acid? If it works, there must be a name for it.

So, an area of active research. Looks like it can be produced electrochemically more cheaply than with today's Haber process, and Ajinomoto is putting it into production for their own needs.

Parking one of these synthesizers under a wind turbine would produce farm fertilizer and fuel whenever the wind blows, cheaper than buying the mass-produced stuff off the dock at the factory. But they will have to start building them first.

> Deep underground sequestration is the only viable strategy if your goal is total CO2 reduction in the atmosphere.

That is untrue. So untrue it seems like a deliberate lie.

The only solution is to stop pumping CO2 in into the atmosphere.

There are mitigations. Building huge machines to sequester relatively small amounts of carbon in underground chambers is probably a mitigation. It seems to me that there are better ways and these sorts of ideas are not worth the opportunity cost.

What are countries with more functional healthcare systems doing differently?

When it comes to comparisons with other countries, much of the dialogue in the US is centered on insurance coverage. That said, I'm curious if other countries have found better solutions to similarly fundamental issues, such as doctors working long hours, doctors being forced to maximize the number of patients, continued medical education, and patient education about the doctor-patient relationship.
> The organizations that you think are credible, are credible. The term is not legally protected.

Credible to me, but I don’t get to decide what’s credible. We live in a society, etc etc. that’s why I asked.

Subway can’t call the cold cut combo sandwich a fried chicken sandwich even though I think they are a credible organization. They would be wrong. If there’s some other org that is credible and is credible using open source, I’d like to know.

Just like Subway would not be credible if they claimed their non-organic sandwich was organic.

The examples I’m familiar with are companies trying to benefit from open source as a positive marketing term and I don’t think are credible.
How to pay professional maintainers
We know life is not nonexistent, but that's all we know.

Given that life exists, here are two possibilities: life is common but we just haven't seen other life yet, or life is unique and necessarily we're it. Since those two possibilities look exactly the same to us, what data can we have to prefer either one?

If we ever did see other life, then we could be confident that it's everywhere. But without seeing it, we don't know. We can only guess, according to our personal preferences.

In fact, I'd go further. Compared to not looking at all, looking for life and not finding it increases the likelihood that we're alone. Maybe not by that much, since astronomy isn't all that good yet, but the more we look without finding, the more rare we'll know life to be.

> We humans are superior at curation, discovery, and anticipating our needs. Not AI.

1. I think is far from established, and if anything the accumulating evidence shows the opposite (though I do hate the term AI when used like this)

2. The issue (for me, at least) is not "AI" replacing human equivalents (though in some parts of life, this is a huge issue), but rather the ease to which the AI's actual purpose and success metrics can be different from the claims made about it by its owner-operators.

It's not that this can't happen with human beings too - financial advisers who are actually lining their own pockets rather than providing you with the best advice for you. But it is much easier to hide nefarious intent inside an algorithm, and harder to discover it without access to source code (and non-trivial even then).
