No need to be rude. It sounded like you were suggesting that if the two populations were merged, the underrepresented-rich effect would rise above the minimal level for enlisted alone (0.1%). And I’m saying it’s not going up by much.

Are you claiming that billionaires serve at the same rate as others? Or that there are many billionaires in the military?
I'm not sure if that's the moral of that video. Just watched (had seen before), and his conclusion is that you shouldn't transmit power with low voltage because it means you need lots of current.

HVDC has some tradeoffs over HVAC, but you should be able to transmit power just fine with either.

HVDC doesn't suffer from the skin effect that AC does:

HVDC is however harder to make/break contact with compared to HVAC as AC crosses zero volts many times:

I don't disagree with you that antitrust is nuanced and complicated and we should have smart, dedicated professionals handling the day-to-day enforcement.

But the dominant position for decades on antitrust, from academics, judges, and bureaucrats -- regardless of party -- has been that antitrust is not a big deal, and they've rubber-stamped a massive consolidation of American enterprise across vast swaths of the economy.

It's not out-of-place for 'we the people' to express that something's wrong here. Farmers can feel it when John Deere prohibits them from repairing their own tractors, and there's not a good alternative they can buy. Homeowners can feel it when the price of 2 by 4s spikes because a few companies run all the sawmills and would rather charge higher prices than increase capacity to meet demand. Flyers feel it when all the major airlines decide to charge extra for checked bags within a few months of each other. Everyone feels it when they see how wealth is more concentrated at the top and how it feels harder for the average young person to have the same standard of living as their parents and grandparents.

It's also not complicated to understand the root of the issue. That companies with monopoly power will charge more and produce less is a bedrock of economics taught in high school. It's also well understood that an industry dominated by a small number of firms will act somewhat like a monopoly because there's less competitive pressure.

So yes, it's better to have experts enforce antitrust. But it's also incumbent upon "the people" to demand accountability and reform when the status quo is failing them.

Its mainly a water security issue, which I think with de-sal plants, rationing, and careful preservation of resources during surplus years would make the issue solvable in the long run for urban/suburban dwellers. Farming, however, will need to move.

There was an article a while back talking about this, usually these water insecurity issues in the southwest are attributable to the unsustainable farming practices that go on here (because the year round sun and temperatures make farming convenient-despite lack of rainfall).

pwning the laptop was a req for doing school work, like how you essentially give prior consent to a field sobriety test when you get a drivers license.

My point is that these situations don't give the opportunity to ALSO be Kind.

Yes, it's better if you donate your time/money to a worthwhile cause than just tweet about. It's better if you vote for a politician that fixes the issue.

But in the moment, facing the opportunity to spread awareness about a plight, isn't sharing awareness better than not? In that circumstance, that person is being "ONLY Nice, not kind", but there is no indication that the same person isn't also being kind.

On Twitter, I do plenty of tweeting about a plight from within my echo chamber. But I also donate thousands of dollars to worthwhile charities in the same fight. I don't tweet about that, because ironically, that WOULD be purposeless virtue signaling, without any benefit except my ego. But spreading awareness about a plight I think is important might inspire someone else to do the same contribution I make.

In my case, we bought our kids better ones than the district offered, which are the lowest educational spec machines available. It was only after we bought it - during covid school-from-home last year - that we learned our district also forbids any non-district-issued computer from connecting to school wifi, so we ended up with one of the crappy machines anyway. On the plus side, no effect on our personal chromebook, but on the negative side, my kids are restricted to using the crappy school computers for school work.

So for things like iPhone cables, I just buy whatever nylon-braided cable Anker is selling now. I've been using Anker cables for years now and they've been reliable.

But for things like TB and DP cables, I don't have any particular brand recommendations. I'm not sure it matters. I just find something with a good rating on Amazon and buy 2 of them. Whatever gets labelled as Amazon Basics has thus far seemingly worked well enough.
I went this route. I have a supposedly good Dell monitor where one of my devices will connect via video but not recognize attached USB devices 4 out of 5 times so I need to plug and unplug a bunch of times every day. It can take over 15 attempts on a bad day. Never again.
I'm a Redwood user for my side project that I hope to launch in the next few days. For me Redwood has been great. I know React but was always frustrated with expanding past the UI layer e.g. data fetching, storing. I had tried NextJS in the past (didn't love the filename routing approach) but never actually got anything to production.

I'm in an architect role for work now and I get to code less and less during the day. RedwoodJS has enabled me to actually build something in my own time and (hopefully) launch it.

I didn't know GraphQL or Prisma before starting to use it but between the Redwood docs, Prisma docs and with some RW community help I've made good progress.

> if we decided as a society that e-scooters, alcohol, and weed, were all things that lead to expensive care, and we highly restricted them to help control health system costs.

Perhaps e-scooters could be restricted. However, intoxicating substances are pretty much impossible to stop (We've tried). The problem is that most intoxicant substances can be made anywhere with a very low amount of equipment.

So, rather than focusing on restricting access, IMO, the better route is focusing on supporting behavior/lifestyle changes.

Though, if we are talking about fixing costs, then one thing that'd help tremendously would public access exercise facilities. It's a lot cheaper to operate a gym than a hospital.
Way to blame the victim. Obviously he didn't know this would happen when he bought the device.
Perhaps true, but that has no bearing on whether you're being virtuous or not.

For example, if you bike to work, you're being virtuous. If you drive your musclecar to work, you're not. How you vote has nothing to do with virtuosity.
it depends on the exact shape of your mask of course, but typically losses around the edges are in the 2-3% range.

It's not really possible to fix this either since wafers need to be round for various manufacturing processes (spinning the wafer for coating or washing stages) and round obviously isn't a dense packing of the mask itself. It just kinda is how it is, square mask and round wafer means you lose a bit off the edges, fact of life.
There's a good argument that cable/internet providers are a "natural monopoly" in which case governmental ownership, or strict regulation is warranted. I.e. make them utilities.

>If you have two or more non-Thunderbolt monitors, you'll need to use more than one port

Is this still true with TB4? TB4 docks can have 3 downstream Thunderbolt ports and afaik each of them can power a single DisplayPort display without MST being involved, and without the display having to be a 'Thunderbolt' display, which I think just meant that they had a TB3 hub in to allow daisychaining.
I had similar issues with one of these USB-C hubs (not sure if it was Satechi or just a similar PCB inside) - just shutting the lid of my laptop was enough to cause it to start going nuts but only after the Mac actually stopped talking to the hub at all. That was a fun one to figure out, I'd lose internet some small period of time (but not always the same amount) after switching from my work Mac to my PC, both hardwired.
Much of California is in the red zone not only for the year 2100 but also for the present, mostly due to water stress.

But with enough will industrial nations can largely spend their way out of all of these problems. Water can be brought from far away or desalinated from the ocean (both happen in California), heat can be fought off by being indoors with AC, sea level rise can be resisted with dikes, levees and pumps. But a lot of places in Africa and Asia won't have the money to do that.
heck, just giving approximate long/lat coordinates would be a huge improvement.
I still get the same issue with HDMI cables when you want to do more than 4K (like 4K60 4:4:4) with a cable that's more than half a meter long. Cable length apparently significantly impacts throughput.

It's even worse on Amazon when a seller will list multiple lengths of the same cable, as there'll be reviews about how this works great for (e.g.) Dolby Vision on an Apple TV 4K, but that was for the short cable. That doesn't imply the longer version of the same cable will work for the same application.

Applying this to engineering orgs, one of my hiring principles has been “hire kind people.” My thought was that you can teach people lots of things, but you can’t teach people to be kind. I’m probably wrong on that, but it’s seemed true in the context of building teams. You can more easily teach niceness than kindness, anyway.

The older I get, the more niceness drives me nuts when not also backed with kindness. If I have to choose who I’d rather work with, I’d rather work with kind people who aren’t nice. They’re not always easy to work with, but I can count on them to work with people instead of complain about them behind their back.

This is, of course, not a dichotomy. There are plenty of people who lack both qualities. Those brilliant jerks I am totally fine never hiring again.
how can they enforce that as a public school?
Yes, and it's difficult to understand the tradeoffs without investing time in a framework. There are a lot of unknown unknowns, both in terms of the market fit and the framework. It's hard to know starting off what "situations" would be difficult for a framework like RedwoodJS.

Precisely. Agriculture uses something like 74% of the water supply in Arizona. 'Unable to grow desert cabbage in 2100' isn't as catchy a headline, however.
Big picture, USB-C is set to considerably reduce ewaste given that more and more consumer electronics products are standardizing on it as a charging solution, eliminating custom chargers and letting manufacturers get away with not including a charger. This is likely to be accelerated by regulations in the EU. The last time we had this level of standardization was probably the AA battery. Not saying things are perfect (because they obviously aren't) but computers - and especially finicky docks and high performance cables - are just one part of a much much bigger market for USB-C.
Why do people buy laptops that don't have this stuff already on it?

I run an engineering course and it's almost comical how often students have to set aside their $2000 Macbooks and use the desktop workstations because they forgot their dongles at home.

My Thinkpad has 6 USB ports (2 USB 3.0), SDCard, DisplayPort, VGA, ethernet and also e-sata and Firewire which I've never used.
DJI civilian drones broadcast transponder data, as required by the FAA and many other nations' FAA-equivalents. DJI apparently encrypts these signals, and sells an expensive product to receive and decrypt them: https://www.dji.com/aeroscope Decoding transponder data presumably gives better accuracy than regular radio-directionfinding, which militaries have used in combat for 80 years now.

(UA has been operating consumer drones on the front lines, because they're suicidal, desperate, or both. Consumer drones use narrowband transmissions on unlicensed radio bands, making them easy to jam and track. Military drones use spread-spectrum transmissions on restricted channels, making them harder to jam and detect, but are generally a hundred or a thousand times more expensive per unit.)

Like anything expensive sold to institutions, I assume DJI Aeroscope has some kind of yearly support contract, and the field terminal regularly phones home. It sounds like DJI has remotely terminated UA transponder receivers, and not done that with RU units, which UA is unhappy about. We also see the downsides of installing infrastructure operated by a hostile foreign power.
Some Chromebooks do have a physical switch, like in the battery compartment. I don't know of any Chromebooks where it's actually impossible to enter developer mode.

I've had my ts3 for a couple years now. I just noticed a pretty bad coil whine on mine lately. I'm not sure if it's always been there and my environment's changed or the device just suddenly started making the noise.
So you're saying that we're are infinitely resourceful and capable of re-imagining and re-engineering our environment, were it not for other people who can prevent it?

It's sad but when I read about children who are 'precocious', I think either their parents are driving them too hard, or (because of the example of a 4th grade boy bringing a girl to a school event...) there's been some sexual / emotional abuse [1]. None of what is being described here is normal childhood behavior, which makes sense, since the family is not at all normal. Both parents are hotshot career-focused individuals. It begs the question if the kids ever had time to just be kids. As I've discovered over the years going from a 'work hard, play hard' youth to a more mellow adult, is that balance is the key, and most people today simply lack it, and these parents sure sound like it.

I mean... just reading about their life before the suicides already stressed me out.

EDIT: Also, the article spent very little time talking about the human impact of COVID lockdowns (it mentioned them, but did not dwell). Passages like this:

> I asked Angela if we could come by for a condolence call. She said yes, if we were vaccinated. Because vaccines were not yet available to children, she added, “Don’t bring George.” She paused, then explained, “It’s just—because of Agnes. She can’t get vaccinated yet, either. And she’s all I have left.” In the following weeks, Angela told her story over and over to any friend who asked, as though she could contain it through repetition. For Billy, even conversational boilerplate was a struggle.

Make me think the parents were a bit over the top with regards to covid lockdowns. Children not being able to see friends? Human companionship (physical presence) is a basic human need on par with food and water. No one's surprised when a child dies from lack of food. Lack of intimate friendship is the same.

EDIT 2:

> Trevor, the child of well-off, educated parents, had far better mental-health support than most American children, but was not saved by it

In my experience, it's better to come from a lower middle class family (so enough money to eat and have everything you need, but not too much), than to come from outright wealth. Money is not a solution to every problem, and too much money and luxury is the root cause of many mental illness.

[1] I wrote this comment before reading the article, but the article later goes on to talk about how we was abused. I don't want to say 'I told you so', but the signs were all there. It's interesting... the New Yorker doesn't even stop to question whether the rise in child suicide rates may be due to a rise in child sex abuse.
> This is a personal judgment. He was passive aggressive in what way?

It's an exit interview, so that is an excellent question for HR to ask.

> excluded you from the team: How was he excluded?

same as above.

> code was awful: Again, is this a sentiment shared by other members of the team or is it just one junior engineer being super opinionated about something

Something you can correlate with other feedback, and see if it gets mentioned repeatedly, or not.

...

But you straight out just always assume the most negative interpretation, and then come to the conclusion that your prejudice was confirmed, and support spreading that outside the company.
You do realise Russia caused this right? As in, there wouldn’t have been mass executions in Bucha if Russia hadn’t invaded. I don’t much care who did it (ignoring the obvious most likely culprit), the fact is Putin killed those people either once or twice removed.

Yes let’s have an independent investigation, call up Putin and ask him to withdraw from Ukraine and pause his attack, and submit DNA samples and verified identities of all his soldiers so the investigators can have a good look.
Wow, that sucks.

As far as the rural, the military focuses their recruiting in rural areas and barely touches major cities - an odd choice given where the population centers are and the efficiency of sales in high-density population. In a quick search, I found this from 2019:
