> If bitcoin miners are chasing cheap power ... then it shouldn't be possible for miners to increase the price of power in a fixed area as they would immediately migrate elsewhere where power is cheaper

This would be true only if people and Bitcoin miners bid in the same market. They do not.

If a BitCoin mining company has x year contract with an utility at some fixed price then they get that electricity at that rate. This has an disproportionate impact on the price consumers have to pay. To meet consumer demands electricity suppliers buy electricity from electricity producers. If BitCoin miners have contracts for all electricity generated in a region cheaper then x cents per unit that means that electricity suppliers can only begin to meet their customers demand with electricity more expensive than x. This means it might be necessary to buy electricity from really expensive sources (for example far away sources) they wouldn't have to rely upon with the cheaper then x electricity was available.

The fact that the cheaper then x electricity producers could get more money if they wouldn't have signed long term contracts is in an environment with multiple such sellers a tragedy of the commons like situation which can not be fixed by the market alone. What makes it even worse is that perverse incentives exist where a company by selling all their cheap electricity to miners can keep assets which would otherwise be stranded (coal power plants) produce electricity at a premium rate because electricity supplies must meet the customer household demands.
You're assuming the pay is cash. Most CEO (and high level executive) compensation is stock, which is taxed much differently from salaries. The tax brackets have very little effect.
I notice people yelling at strangers (there’s also a whole bunch of videos of people being jumped for wearing clothes that signal conservativism, but I haven’t seen that up close), but a much less extreme example is just gender stuff: my wife and I have a pretty traditional division of labor (by happenstance, not design, although it doesn’t matter for the purposes of this discussion) and we get some funny looks/remarks from a lot of people. It would be simpler if I were passionate about cooking and my wife was the breadwinner and finance manager, but we still have it better than people who are actually conservative.
In the long run, like way after they're dead. I don't know.

I'm in business for the dividends and raising tax funds for the State. You do both together generally, and because every businessman wants to do the total opposite, he hates paying dividends, hates giving the money he earned to investors, always saying reinvest. Or buybacks, which are strictly dividends. Buybacks are dividends. They just say they're different because they want to dodge taxes.

Like there's this whole song and dance they teach in speculation schools, as if you could learn this in schools ("all those Harvard MBA's didn't add up to dogshit" -- Michael Douglas, Wall Street) well those guys, they're like no dividends no. Because then your stock goes down by the amount you paid. Like really? But who cares, if an investor reinvests the dividend his share is the same, call it by another name. Come on. Nomenclature thing. But without dividends, there's no point in investing.

I talk about it and pg too, that's the end game, there is no other end game really. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=306464
Far better writers than me have done all manner of speculative fiction on this, but the main thrust of it all is that as bad as our racism problem is now, and that’s very bad, it’s an appetizer for the main course that will come from speciating the human race on the basis of both meaningful and measurable genetic “superiority”.

That would be scary enough if the whole world voted on every little thing, but if Elizabeth Holmes is doing it under the Uber “It’ll become legal if we do enough of it” model?

Yeah that fucking terrifying.

Even if remote work has efficiency costs, who cares about that outside of the employers themselves? And are these costs so great that employers in tight markets will be able to resist workers requesting the “perk” of remote work?
NDAs can cover material mundane, dull or arbitrary. A password could be a secret, and it's all those things. The number of users sampled could easily be a trade secret.

It's not like the NDA says "keep our secrets unless you think they're too boring to keep". It says "anything marked in the following way is a secret you cannot reveal." If Musk thought that was public knowledge, he could fight them in court. Of course, that would torpedo his "this is new information to me, I need to get out of the TWTR acquisition" claims.

This crisis.

> Macro trends are what matter.

No, it's not all that matters to everyone that can't afford to pay these skyrocketing prices because there's no way to keep up with demand other than reverting to coal. The OP is about social unrest and burning coal now not long-term trends. There is no long term if everything collapses before that. Germany is already burning more coal right now because alternatives cannot in fact keep up. Your head seems stuck in the US, apparently ignorant of news from Europe (take a look at electricity prices here and what's coming online.) There's literally not enough physical natural gas, and we'll outbid everyone else into starvation for what there is and fill the gaps with coal. Green cannot compete in this environment, even where it's most heavily invested in. No way does it have a chance elsewhere.
But look at why this has occurred. In 2000 there was still such a thing as journalistic integrity, in large part due to the fact that journalism was still well funded locally (both in newspapers and in television), although newspapers were beginning to die. Remember when your local TV news channel had their own foreign correspondents?

Between 2000 and 2010, the internet grew up and Big Tech began to take over the advertising segment. People stopped buying local newspapers as much, so fewer journalists were funded to do any kind of complex reporting. In 2010 the internet hadn't completely taken over video content, as bandwidth to the average home was only just getting to the level to sustain a couple of HD streams.

Between 2010 and 2022, the internet has now taken over virtually everything. Cable TV is dieing. Virtually everyone I know now consumes their content online, barring the elderly that don't know how to operate a tablet or phone. Local content no longer gets funded, but oh does fringe content get clicks! Software realizes, hey, we can sell ads on those clicks! Suddenly people engage in SEO and fringe content is now massively profitable. The sane voice of reason in the form of Walter Cronkrite is lost. Public discourse becomes more polarized than ever.

I think the blame for this lies in large part on Big Tech. Promoting content by optimizing for clicks is a very different selection criteria than a previously well established news editor (be it paper or TV) trying to do a good job while protecting their organization's reputation. Neural nets have no conscious voice in the back of their weights saying "hey, maybe that's a bad thing to promote".

The world is forever changed. For better or worse, there's no turning back from the world we have created.

They probably only support the FreeDOS, not the underlying distribution. If you mess with the Linux and break the FreeDOS, that's on you. They might have 2 customers running some 40 year old legacy DOS app but 99% of people selecting the FreeDOS option are wiping it to install something else, so using it unsupported.

I find this ridiculous. Hurricanes are acute events where an understood phenomenon occurs and people need to take shelter. (I expect someone can come up with a feigned misunderstanding claiming pandemics are equivalent)

Early pandemic warnings and action make sense inside of public health organizations (and there are companies like BlueDot that offer intelligence on infectious diseases - they actually spotted Covid before it became what it did). Broadcasting some poorly understood "pandemic warnings" to the masses will just result in fear and eventually people completely ignoring them. Alarmism over potential disease outbreaks does not help. This is just people wanting to ride on covid's coattails and grab some power out of it.
It’s funny how people act as if commute time is completely outside of the control of individuals.

Maybe that’s true in some places, but in the majority of places people can choose how long they want their commute to be. It’s usually a trade off between having a big house, a short commute, and saving money.
India allows naturalization after 11 years of residence, all of which can be on time-limited visas. India also appears to grant work/business visas as renewable on a 5 year basis https://www.startupindia.gov.in/content/sih/en/international.... So you can become a resident after 11 years and ~3 visa renewals - you don't need to become a permanent resident first, and indeed, based on a cursory search India only grants permanent residence (without citizenship) for a few reasons that don't seem related to work-immigration. But you still have a clear path to permanent residence through naturalization.

In the US you can be naturalized only if you are already a permanent resident. The issue I'm mentioning is from converting from a temporary visa (like H1b) to a permanent residence (Green Card). It's subject to something called the Green Card quota. If you have an H1b and technically qualify for getting a GC, you can become subject to the quota and remain on the H1b indefinitely. More info: https://www.immi-usa.com/h1b-visa/h1b-visa-extension/

Effectively this means you can stay in the US forever on H1b as long as you keep getting the visa renewed, but it's hard to switch jobs because of all the bureaucracy involved, and you don't have a path to citizenship until you get a GC.

Excellent movie does not have to be "immersive". I think your statement sounds rather snobbish.
We also need rigorous local and global version control of definitions of "pandemic" and other terms which get baked into legal documents with economic, health and safety implications.

Gregorian. France adopted it in 1582, and the French Revolutionary calendar hasn’t reached the year 1793 yet (and has no month of October, in any case), so it’s not even a possibility for that date.

Zipf's law is a statement about the results of a frequency analysis. Frequency analysis has been a core part of Linear A efforts for a long time, as you'd expect considering how important it was to Ventris in deciphering Linear B.

See for example "On the Language of Linear A" from 1958 (https://gredos.usal.es/bitstream/handle/10366/73246/On_the_L...) or "Greek-like Elements in Linear A" from 1963 (https://grbs.library.duke.edu/article/viewFile/11991/4031). For something more recent, there's "Linear A and Linear B: Structural and contextual concerns" from 2017 (https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/200196986.pdf). (One of the authors of that one, Steele, also has a blog: https://crewsproject.wordpress.com/tag/linear-a/)
There is no mechanism in AWS Support by which tickets are automatically closed without a response. Could someone have gone in and resolved your case without a response? In theory, it's possible. But there's no incentive to do so.

I'd suggest responding to the case, which will reopen it and get it reassigned. A open case that's missed SLA by 6 months will raise eyebrows.

That's assuming what you're saying is correct. I'm not sure what your incentive would be to lie, but I've dealt with more than one support case wherein the customer swears up-and-down that they never changed anything. And whoopsie, Cloudtrail shows they did.
No offense, but this demonstrates a lack of knowledge about Bitcoin’s history and nature. All of these things have been tried and failed. The core devs and the miners don’t control Bitcoin. The full nodes control Bitcoin. The only way to successfully fork Bitcoin is to convince all of the nodes to run the code.

Other cryptocurrencies get around this by being more centralized. This includes Ethereum. These other blockchains make it significantly more difficult and costly to run nodes, which means fewer nodes run, mostly by large corporations so that they can exert control and fork the chains all the time.

Bitcoin is different. Anyone can run a node on an old laptop. There are tens of thousand of public nodes worldwide, who knows how many private ones. If miners ran a fork to change consensus rules, the nodes would just reject the blocks and the miners just waste electricity.
You forgot to also ask, how many Americans actually want to immigrate to India? I'll answer that for you since you seem to have more questions than answers: close to zero.

This does seem very likely to vary by person.

IMHO grandparent is saying Linear B is a different, yet related script that appears to be directly derived from a regional variant of Linear A.

A script can be used to write arbitrary languages, and does not imply a fully identical mapping to phonemes when used for these different languages. Examples include use of the Arabic script[0] to write Uighur, Urdu, or Farsi.

Generally an existing script is adopted for a new language through transliteration, often the addition of diacritics or new glyphs. Further examples would be Vietnamese or the numerous abugidas of Southeast Asia. When an existing script is used without adaptation by a speaker of another language attempting phonetic transliteration, it is generally very lossy.[2] This is why we have IPA, which is also lossy and not widely understood.[3]

Stop putting your trust in popular brands. They spent so much money trying to reach you they need to cutback in other areas to hit their target stock prices.

It's completely reasonable that you need to ignore the ads and do serious research. Sometimes that involves asking friends/family/workmates or listening when they complain. The easiest research involves searching the internet. If you expect google to present you with the best product for you as the first three results you will be disappointed. Go to customer reports, read amazon reviews, read reddit reviews, checkout videos / blogs or try the product out first.

> Tell that to all the people complaining about yellowface/Apu. It's genuinely on an "Ahh, I am honourable Chinese man, my family is honour" level.

I was referring to your Paul Hogan impression comment which I thought you meant was not a big deal to you. I can understand that a racist "yellowface/Apu" accent would be much more offensive.

> Wow, using Anita Sarkeesian - widely derided for being out of touch and over-intellectual - as a source and expecting to change minds.

I was using the series as a reference for tropes much more offensive than a Paul Hogan impression. If you don't want to listen at Anita Sarkeesian for some reason, you can find a list of tropes at https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WebVideo/FeministFreq... with examples linked from there.

> Seriously? Men complaining about going clothes shopping with their wives is goes back to the days of bad 1950s stand-up.

I wasn't talking about complaining but instead describing the literal process. Where to go, shopping etiquette, dressing room etiquette, cost, fit, fashion. Plus the emotional context: some women find shopping very upsetting for reasons men might struggle to understand, let alone portray accurately in fiction.

> I'm being serious here - child care, admin or even retail are much, much better jobs from the point of view of living a balanced life and providing for your family than anything in games dev.

I was thinking of home health care workers. Over 3 million in the U.S., mostly women, average age in their 40s, median wage around 30k USD per year, taking care of sick or elderly people including physically moving them and cleaning up after them, sometimes living in the patient's home. I find it hard to agree that this job would better than being a game dev, but in any case you only need a high school diploma to do it so most game devs who want to change adult diapers in the middle of the night for much less pay and for their entire working life should be able to make the jump pretty easily.
I'm not sure this is actually capturing the heart of the current arguments from current U.S. citizens, which IMO boil down to "how much control over the supply of labor in the U.S. do U.S. citizens have?" Even if your #1 is true, it doesn't mean that the economic benefits of immigration are distributed in a way that is favorable to the median worker.

"It's more greed than evil."

Does this sounds like convincing or meaningfull distinction to anyone? Like you could say the same about drug lords and mafia bosses.

Except the rair psyco, no-one does something evil just because they are evil. Like all crimes are comitted out of greed, or jealousy, etc.

"But the top 1% pay for 38.8% of Federal taxes."

But that's mathematically inevitable if they have >30% of all wealth - if they (hypothetically) would earn 100% of all the money, they would pay 100% of all the taxes.
I’d love to have an overenginnered (or not!) solution for the starlings in my neighborhood. Their horrible screechy calls drive me mad. But the fact that it’s sound and not poop that’s the motivation probably makes it a more difficult problem to solve, since it relies on both sound (to find where the demonspawn is) and vision (to not hit some random screechy kid).

Starlings can sing melodic songs too, and I don’t mind those, but what I hear most often are their screeches. They are literally doing it right now outside my window. I wonder if it’s a territorial ”song” that I’m hearing more often than Europeans do since they’re an invasive species in the US, or if this particular call is a learned behavior from the population in my city.

The only theoretical solution that I’ve come up with so far is something that listens for the offending sound pattern, verifies that it’s also a “small dark bird” via camera, and then chases it off a water gun or laser or pocket nuke or stern words or whatever. All of that tech is beyond me, but I’ve definitely fantasized about it ever since they showed up here a few years back.
Well that's also weird! Why are both options available on some computers, while others only have FreeDOS, even when they can't actually run FreeDOS.
Aren't those things you'd mostly do at home? I can't think of a single reason I would strictly need to bring my personal phone to university. Worst case I'd sign into one of the provided computers.
You could probably make what you need but it's both unsafe & will most likely get you put on a list depending where you live. There are jobs where you can get hands-on training and experience if you really want it.

Either way it will always be open source and you can self host. compose.yml exist in the api/ folder (this is how i deploy it), front end was deployed with vercel so don't need any of that.
