I don’t think that we should be essentially punishing spacex for their massive success by suddenly telling them they’re required to take every customer at government-approved prices. SpaceX isn’t a utility, and no one/no government has a right to deploy their technology in space.
I looked into this extensively about 3 years ago, but in the northeast with a well insulated house.

I ended up going with air-source heat pumps rather than geothermal. The geothermal units were less expensive, but the drilling was massively expensive.

Air source heat pumps now work down into pretty cold temperatures. With a high-efficiency air source our average heating/cooling bills are around $250 (down from ~$400 with older models). Even if ground-source got that down to $200, the payback period of the drilling would exceed our expected time in the house.

We still kind of wanted to do it, but the added problem was that no one in the area was really experienced with ground-source installs. So we would be dealing with the hassle of trying to get these HVAC guys to work on projects that they are not that interested in.

In the end we went with air-source, and it worked out very nicely.
Your comment said most of the gains in productivity have been captured by housing or government bureaucracies. This is not true. The quality of everything has gone up substantially from the coffee we drink, to the fresh produce around the calendar, to the conveniences at home. We live in a luxury society where a fresh avocado in the middle of winter is less than $1. Where we can order just about anything we need at the click of a button from around the globe. This is where our productivity has gone.
To be fair, the GDPR does outlaw all the things we find annoying with the cookie banners (or rather, data processing consent flows, as they cover more than just cookies).

The problem is continuous lack of enforcement and distinct lack of billion-dollar fines everyone was fear mongering about, which allows companies to passively-aggressively pretend to comply by making their banners annoying on purpose to mislead people into hating the GDPR.

This problem would be resolved overnight (and everyone's privacy increased by orders of magnitude, since spyware would become illegal again) if those fines actually started coming down.
What about a wiki system + workflow tool for documenting all GDPR infringements on every website of interest with auto-submission of a complaint to the regulatory agencies?

Nonsense. It's against Russian invaders, which makes complete sense. When they come in to bomb schools and maternity wards how else are you going to stop them without killing them?

The Russians are acting like victims even when they're Nazi invaders.

> I don't think you really "sue" anyone for breaching GDPR. I think you report it to the local authorities, and then they pursue a case.

You can.

Article 79 explicitly states that data subjects have a "right to an effective judicial remedy where he or she considers that his or her rights under this Regulation have been infringed as a result of the processing of his or her personal data in non-compliance with this Regulation.

Article 82 also states that "any person who has suffered material or non-material damage as a result of an infringement of this Regulation shall have the right to receive compensation from the controller or processor for the damage suffered."
I agree.

I've had several conversations where fans of Hooks will justify them by saying that "functional programming is about composition over inheritance".

And I think that's entirely missing the point of functional programming. The goal wasn't to remove inheritance in favor of composition, it was to remove STATE - which in turn results in the nice property that functions can be composed, because they take all relevant data as arguments (they are pure).

Hooks basically blow that away - you've added back in all the problems of local state, but now you've hidden it behind a brand new paradigm that developers just don't have a very good feel for (even years after the introduction of hooks).

I'm reasonably well-versed with hooks, and even I find myself having to do incredibly complicated and deep dives into upstream code to answer simple questions, like "How many times will this hook run?" or "How many render cycles will this hook introduce?".

Sometimes the answer is so far upstream it's basically impossible to answer without running code - Ex: if you depend on the "useLocation" hook from react-router-dom, and you pass the entire object as a dep to useEffect (which is a mistake in and of itself), you will be fine in the browser, but Jest tests will trigger an infinite render cycle, because JSDom generates a new object for each call of window.location.

I can reason about functions that are pure, and that's the freaking point of functional programming. I cannot reason about functions with hooks in them - it's FAR worse than class based components in basically every way except ease of re-use.

I think in many respects - we threw out the baby with the bathwater.

A related article about avian flu was published in November 2021 by the UK Health Security Agency:

What is avian flu? https://ukhsa.blog.gov.uk/2021/11/26/what-is-avian-flu/

Some key points from the article:

- Avian influenza also poses a very low food safety risk to consumers. Properly cooked poultry and poultry products, including eggs, are safe to eat.

- Year-round avian influenza surveillance of dead wild birds is submitted via public reports and warden patrols.

- There are 5 strains that have caused public health concern in in recent years: H7N9, H9N2, H5N6, H5N8 and a type of H5N1 strain more common in Asia

- In the UK there have been both findings in wild birds and confirmed cases in poultry and captive birds of the ‘Eurasian’ H5N1 strain of avian influenza.

- The H5N1 strain of avian influenza is highly pathogenic to poultry and other birds, but the risk to human health is considered very low.

I also have a degree in economics and I was raised by two professors of economics and in my young life was surrounded by Nobel laureates in economics and have been involved in policy related things my whole life so I feel like I have some loose context to make this next statement.

The entire modern economics profession is irredeemably corrupt and has led to unfathomable amounts of human misery due to blind allegiance to beautiful models against all obvious evidence that they had no actual relationship to how the world works. This was especially true in Microeconomics and doubly true when it comes to talking about Lucas and Sargent and the nonsense that is Rational Expectations, as well as of course EMH and other related delusions.

Our public policy would probably better served if most of the profession was put on a cruise ship and launched out to sea. Just saying.

France helped in Afghanistan after 9/11 and sent troops.

"Freedom fries" were about France's refusal to support the US invasion of Iraq in 2003.

The US were not a victim. Iraq had been weakened by the Gulf War and the sanctions it was under since and was only surviving. In 2003 the US were the aggressor, they simply decided to attack Iraq to take control of it. That's partly why they came up with this infamous WMDs story... They needed to find a pretext to invade.
> Technically, they are not wrong

They are absolutely, technically and materially, wrong.

Calls to arms to resist an invader is close to the opposite of extremism. It’s survival. A correcting force back towards the status quo. Extremism, by definition, seeks to change the status quo.

I don’t agree. The people who run traditional scams know that what they’re doing is a scam, and they take precautions to avoid criminal prosecution. This deters general people from trying to do the same thing.

Crypto has this veneer of “innovation” and “disruption” that everyone has seen play out over the past decade, with huge winners (Amazon, Uber, etc.). And others are jumping on the bandwagon. They don’t believe they’re running a scam, or at least they believe they’re operating in the Wild West of no regulations and everything is fair game.

There are definitely people doing crypto stuff who would not be otherwise running cons on a street corner.
Administrative penalties (those levelled by the supervisory authorities) do go to the state, but one can receive compensation for damages caused by infringement of rights under the Regulation.
Disagree. Let it burn, it's the only way. (change my mind?)

This made me think of the Ukraine war, and how the sanctions may turn out to be a bigger help to climate crisis than any political entity could muster on the basis of the impeding climate snafu. Sometimes radical action is the right course of action; for democracy-(pre)serving reasons our governance systems often inhibit change unless most of the population is rallied around a specific cause as we see with Ukraine. That is the time for radical change to happen, or democracies would never progress. End of sidetrack :)

The appropriate system of units is context-dependent. The astronomical system, for instance, has Days of 86,400 SI seconds and Julian years of exactly 365.25 Days; if you have a general and extensible units library, then this isn't really a difficulty, you just need to make a choice based on requirements.
As much as this may really damage the sector I work in, I’d cherish the clarity a stance like this could provide.

There are many businesses trying to be compliant whilst maintaining access to metrics their business depends on.

Compliance is very difficult at this time as the legal advice is shifting in different territories and there is conflicting guidance when you start to dig into it.

Id rather see a selection of activities and tactics entirely banned/regulated rather than this directive which is clearly too open to interpretation.
I don't think there was any scenario where the invasion was a benefit to Russia. But if it had gone the way most analysts had expected, with Kyiv falling after four days, it could have been a benefit to Vladimir Putin. With the invasion having gone horribly wrong it's clear to everyone that it's in Russia's best interest to withdraw immediately. But what's in Russia's best interest isn't necessarily in Putin's personal interest. So better to keep on killing Ukrainian men, women, children by the thousands to save his own skin.

Some call Putin a "genius". I'd call him something different.
It's probably less winner-takes-all than ground based internet. At scale, putting infrastructure into space is a much lower barrier to entry than putting a fiber line into every household.

The limiting factor will be spectrum allocations. You only have so much bandwidth per area, giving an advantage to those that either have more directional antennas or more spectrum available.
I wonder if it's a really lazy and terrible attempt at accounting for how long the opt-out request would take. Let's imagine it has no way to know (because of cross-domain restrictions?) whether an opt-out request to a third-party succeeds - in which case it simply waits a reasonable amount of time for the request to complete. Of course, a reasonable time should be a handful of seconds, but I guess at least it makes sense that this is configurable and could explain the problem.

That's about the only non-malicious reason I can think of.

I'm not aware of any generation for which being comfortable with those things hasn't put one in, at least (I'm being very conservative), the top 20% of computer literacy. Most people are bad at just using a computer—given how long it's been a problem, there's either a lot of essential complexity there that cannot be mitigated or avoided to improve usability, or we as an industry have just done a terrible job designing desktop operating systems for regular people. I don't think tablets et c. have much to do with it.

I quit software development in 2009 to switch into consulting with businesses on sustainability, once I found out how bad things were with respect to climate change, biodiversity loss, etc. After 4 years of consulting I realised I was never going to change the world working only with large companies one by one that could afford high daily rates, so I set up FutureFitBusiness.org - a non-profit dedicated to translating systems science into practical guidance for companies and investors to understand what ‘true’ sustainability means (i.e. reaching a range of science-based thresholds, and not just being slightly less bad than peers) and gives them the means to steer and assess progress toward it. I went back to my software roots in terms of our model: everything we publish is under a Creative Commons license, free for anyone to use, plus we have a partner program for advisors who want to be officially recognised as knowing how to help companies get the best out of our methodology. So we’re open sourcing sustainability!

> In July 2020, Hughes Network Systems invested US$50 million in the consortium.

> In January 2021, a further funding round raised $400 million from SoftBank and Hughes Network Systems, with SoftBank getting a director seat on OneWeb's board. This brought available funding to $1.4 billion

> In June 2021, Oneweb raised an additional US$500M from Bharti Global, increasing Bharti's holding to 38.6%

Sorry to tell you, but it actually does.

Cookie notices are only necessary when you are transferring data to third-parties and there's no technical reason for that.

In Praise of Memorization
We already knew they had this cpability. It's not particularly interesting without nuclear arms, because there are a finite number of them and they can't make them quickly. Once they've shot them all, they're out. If they don't couple them with nuclear arms, then the most they can do is take out ukranian infrastructure (a few bits at a time), then not be able to use any more when they're done

We all know the war has been going badly for russia but the US isn't concerned with non-nuclear armed hypersonic missles.

You're saying people don't understand because they are not deeply involved.

It's a disingenuous argument, akin to no true scotsman, and a way to pat yourself on the back.

When you step back from the details and take a look at the big picture, you can understand crypto better than when you're too stuck in the reeds.

From the big picture view, you can see Crypto is destroying our planet, doesn't meet most of it's promises, squirms with new promises and redefinitions constantly, is much more complex than alternatives for the few things it does provide, and is rife absolutely rife with scammers.

Sure amongst that morass there may be a few interesting ideas, who knows and who cares, there's interesting ideas in lots of areas and crypto is a distraction from real progress, and it's a destructive force in our world. What a waste of human potential, and limited resources.
