If you don't know what to do, it helps to write what you're feeling.

Often times, just writing your thoughts can clarify your thinking.

It's a bit like solving a bunch of math problems with paper and pen. You'll be surprised what you discover that way.

You won't necessarily always discover the answers you're looking for, but you'll find questions you want answered.

And that's a starting point for where to go next.

Yeah, that's how the banking system works. Every single check in your checkbook has your account number and routing number on it, and those two numbers are literally the only pieces of information necessary to transfer money out of your account.

What the system lacks in technical security is (supposedly) made up for by legal protections/processes--yeah, it's incredibly easy to take money out of an account, but that transaction _will_ get reversed if it was fraudulent.

his point is that the skill does not lie in the manual process of making the art, but in the process of _creating_ the art. copying something (even with a high degree of precision) is less difficult than imagining the thing in the first place.
> The public sector builds the infrastructure

It's a little off your point but there was an amusing book published a few years ago which went through twelve, from memory, technologies on which the iPhone was totally dependent and which had all been developed out of the public purse.

Can't remember what it was called so if anyone recognises it I'd be interested to hear.
Nope this would be a standard band at staff+ level swe at a successful company
i’ve been reading on this lately and it’s incredibly hard to find up to date numbers on solar capacity, deployed or projected, in terms that make sense. some places report draw rates. some GHw. some daily numbers some yearly. politicians like to report places are 100% running off renewables when that means current draw rate matches solar productivity rate. yet solar production is always a small fraction of overall usage. it’s all very confusing
I don't rely on door-to-door salesmen to give me detailed information about my energy consumption. There are plenty of calculator online, and reputable solar companies ( who do not sell door-to-door in my experience ) will be happy to help you understand.
I like an account like https://twitter.com/NYT_first_said that posts when new 'words' appear in the Times for the first time. Gives a good sense at culture changing and when things are getting mainstream enough to be mentioned in articles etc. A fave from these pandemic times is: doomscrolling. ;)
I'd kill for mouse-over tooltips that let you get definitions of key terms. Turning inline references to numbered statutes and prior court rulings into links to said statues and judgements would be nice too.

These aren't hard problems since legal stuff is pretty rigid about making sure these things are not ambiguous.

This ruling is pretty good and readable though. Many state and federal laws are dense AF.
The dilution can be done in holding tanks. Fill a tank a tenth of the way with the hyper-saline brine (or whatever the right ratio is), flood the rest of it with sea water, stir it around for a while then dump it into the ocean. If the holding tanks are built in the tidal zone and are sized appropriate relative to the brine output of the desalination plant, then you wouldn't even need to do much pumping. The salinity of the tank could be tested before dumping it, an extra layer of safety in the system.
>but the $300k+

Japanese homes aren't that expensive unless you want a very big space / luxurious place.

>houses in Japan are probably twice as expensive per unit area compared to the US

You might be surprised this goes for most of the world. The US is spoiled in regards to cost per square meter after adjusting for office worker salary (let alone tech salaries). Until you go to the big cities, where the problems are far, far worse than e.g. Tokyo.

>Salaries are low as well

Salaries in most of Japan aren't even that low when compared to the remainder of the West. You can find quite a few anecdotes pointing out the opposite, calling Japan more affordable if anything (truth probably being somewhere in the middle).

Try looking in big cities around most of Europe and even Canada. You'll find similar issues, both in salaries and in housing prices vs housing sizes.
I get that is how it works, just seems alarming that the bank didn't send me anything. If I typo my pin code in the grocery store I get an email and text right away. My debit card has limits how much one can withdraw. A wire transfer has no limits, yet an org that never did a wire transfer from my account shows up and pulls a large amount and I get nothing.

For higher feature counts the real concern is saddle points rather than minima, where the gradient is so small that you barely move at all each iteration and get "stuck".
I use Flux, it's great once you grok it and get it configured. Docs are a bit sparse in some areas for things like containers but otherwise quite easy and powerful to set up. One example is that I had my infra code stored in Github and wanted to migrate it to Gitlab. Simple as pushing the existing repository up to Gitlab instead and then flux init Gitlab - everything works as it did before.
We dropped off our kid at college in the late oughts. We spoke over the phone now and then--perhaps it was once a week, probably less often. We had only the vaguest idea of what classes he took, and as far as I know never saw his grades. It would never have occurred to us to engage in surveillance.
Sets an interesting precedent for literally every other federal body that "acts as prosecutor and judge" while skipping the judicial system. Should everyone fighting an immigration or deportation case be able to request a jury trial? What about the military? Labor violations? EPA fines?
Some older near-the-city-center suburbs of US cities have the same phenomenon. There are sometimes quirks like entire neighborhoods where all the houses have a different stained-glass window because there was a stained-glass guy nearby when they were built. That usually comes with the obligatory comment from every contractor or insurance person, "Yeah, wow, you couldn't get (x feature) made that way today for any price."

Bill Watterson was influential for me to not go into NFT art. It's not something to be proud of, but I wrestled with joining or not. And at the time I was wrestling with making art in and for that space, I recalled a story about him where Spielberg and others approached him for movie rights for Calvin & Hobbes, and he refused, because it would ruin the soul of what he was trying to explore & do with those characters. It helped me put a stake in the ground for not joining NFT's at a pretty pivotal juncture for me. Might not be a relatable struggle to others, because of the obvious pitfalls and buffoonery in the space. But man, the pull of greed was powerful for a few weeks haha. I love Bill Watterson for his commitment to his values, let alone the amazing work he created.
Also keep in mind that this will coincide massive electrification of historically non-electric energy consumption (eg. transportation and heating).
It’s not about exporting, China can’t feed itself. Dependency on food imports doubled within like 3-4 years recently.
It’s still remarkable to me none of the big oil companies are going hard into renewables.

It’s like they are either accepting their decline or are in denial.
From the Long Now post:

> As we walked from arch to arch, Maholo explained that the forest here had historically been used exclusively to harvest timbers for all the shrines, but over the last millennia they had been harvested too heavily for various war efforts, or lost in fire. Since the beginning of this century the shrines’ caretakers have been bringing these forests back, and expect them to be self-sustaining again within the next two or three rebuilding periods — 40 to 60 years from now.

Part of this is also a preservation of skills. It ensures that the artisans who work on it have a consistent demand for their skills.
How high-end and affordable were these buildings when they got constructed? I remodeled a ~300 year olds house in rural Germany. The building used to house at least two families till the first half of the 20th century. We had to in essence redo everything except for maybe 70% of the oak beams, totally change the layout, dig up and lower the floors to accommodate anyone but tiny people and build out the attic to make the building attractive at all. This building was at the equivalent of the village square when it was constructed. Had the village grown and turned into Al even a town, I'd hoped it would have been replaced a long time ago. I'm proud I got to take part in this work and will in all likelihood own it myself some day. If it wasn't a under heritage protection we'd likely not have preserved it though because it makes little economic sense.
The "50% faster" stat is talking about latency, which is not really what subsea cables are about (massive bandwidth).

The more important figure is the attenuation at frequency bands used in telecommunication (C-band and L-band). According to the article, hollow core fibers are still much worse than solid core fibers (0.28 dB/km vs 0.14 dB/km).

The problem with battery supply is that it would be better to use that supply on EVs to displace oil rather than on massive stationary grid storage for intermittent sources.

Instead, for the maximum cleaning up of energy, we should build nuclear for the grid and use batteries on transportation.
Consider that 40% of American corn crop (created, as you say, by redirecting the suns energy) is turned into Ethanol, to be burned for energy.

Solar panels are "roughly 200 times more energy per acre than corn" according to https://pv-magazine-usa.com/2022/03/10/solarfood-in-ethanol-...

There are ecological concerns but the alternatives have them too.
Yeah I also don't buy the approach and commentary. Rates need to go up sure, but not with this much funfare. Killing the patient in the process to keep inflation in check makes little sense. And then there is the demand elasticity. How many people here are going stop using gas to go to work or stop eating to push prices down? Similarly with the baby formula -- where they suggested throwing money at the problem of lacking formulas: there is just not enough at retail for people to buy, doesn't matter how much money you have. What is the Federal Reserve going to do: tell babies to not eat?

This is misguided politic theatrics, that causes even more panic and over consuming due to panic, which leads to further stress and supply issues.
Sure, but this is about constraints by the Constitution, and military members do not give up their Constitutional protections when they enlist.
But if the sunlight that produced that power had hit something else instead, it also would have been turned into heat. There's no net heating of the planet from solar power. (Of course, the distribution of heating can change.)

Anyone can request a jury trial in the USA. It's guaranteed by the Constitution.
"The Dodd-Frank Act, which Congress passed after the 2008 financial crisis, expanded the SEC's ability to seek penalties in its administrative proceedings.

Don't they? I was very much under the impression that they did.
This was hilarious. I hope it was meant to be. I liked the parody of the deluded man who thinks he's the best and that no one recognises his genius - maybe it was a bit on the nose, a bit too cliché, but nevertheless. It was a nice touch that the character spends, like, a thousand words saying nothing at all besides "I am smart, Netflix hires smart people, like me, I am smart, Netflix doesn't hire me, but I am smart enough that I will eventually make this syllogism make sense, I am smart, also I am smart".

It also explains quite well why I don't hire people like your character. They think they aren't hired because of their arrogance, like it's a downside that only merely vitiates their tremendous intelligence. In reality an attitude like that is a nearly-perfectly-reliable signal of someone who's totally deluded about their own intelligence. Truly super-intelligent people of course are not chippy, insecure, oppositional, constantly expatiating upon their great intelligence, etc - it's just a given, a neutral fact, much like the way Bill Gates doesn't go on about how much money he has, whereas a recruitment consultant earning 50k a year will go on about such.

Anyway, I enjoyed the skit. Thank you for sharing it. The technique of your not using quotation marks and suchlike really imbues it with a sense of great immediacy and realism. Marvelous stuff.
> No one is asking you to disclaim everything you write.

Oh? No? Then why did you write:

> Or they realise the hubris you need to have to think 150$ to be a meaningless amount of money.

What is the hubris if not that there’s somebody, somewhere for whom it’s a lot of money that I failed to add enough disclaimers about for your tastes?

I was clearing talking about $150’s value to me relative to my own personal income, so you clearly felt like that needed to come with some disclaimer about Italian developers, for some reason, despite me living half a planet away from Italy and never having said anything about anyone other than I, myself, and me.

What seems like the real hubris here is yours — your insistence that everybody else’s personal opinion on what’s a lot of money to them personally MUST make space for the chip you have on your shoulder.

> You seem surprised that people don't care about what things mean to you when you communicate whereas it should be obvious. You are not writing for you after all but to be read.

While I am writing to be read, I am expecting an audience that speaks English well enough to understand that “I” and “me” refers to, well, me, and logical and mature enough to understand that a statement written by me and about me quite obviously has nothing whatsoever to do with the income of people halfway across the planet – it’s just spectacularly and
completely irrelevant to anything I wrote about how much the cost of the tool impacts me personally.

I seriously doubt that Italian developers consider less than 0.06% of their income “a lot of money” either, for what it’s worth. If you make $50,000, do you consider $30 “a lot of money”? Because that’s the scale of what I’m talking about here.

And sure, $30 is probably still a lot of money to someone somewhere else; but do you also go shout at teenagers in GameStop the next time they refer to a $30 video game as “cheap”? Seems like foolish and irrelevant behaviour, to me. Somebody’s cheap will always be someone else’s expensive.
“Should we give (Rust for Linux) a try for this coming merge window?”
There are a large number of barriers to formalizing your question, such as (i) the definition of natural, (ii) the definition of "maximal" when comparing countably infinite sets, and (iii) the fact that asking about the provability of X in vanilla ZFC is still arguably interesting in the system ZFC+X (see: reverse mathematics), so it's not clear what adding it as an axiom does towards the "largeness" of the set of provable natural statements.

Quality standards have usually gone up, but space standards are the ones that tend to go down, whether that’s de facto because of the market/demand, or actual standards.

The first step to improving this would be to vote out all the MPs who legislate in the interest of landlords- because most MPs are landlords. Reducing overall immigration would probably help too. A removal of housing benefit, which actually benefits businesses and not those receiving the “benefit”, by subsidising wages and inflating housing prices for desirable areas, instead of allowing prices to fall or for businesses to pay what’s needed, should be considered too.
The Crypto Cult of Do Kwon: ‘If It Was a Ponzi Scheme, They Did a Good Job’
The gist of the decision is that the SEC’s imposition of civil penalties and disgorgement violated defendants’ seventh amendment right to a jury trial. Under the seventh amendment, you have a right to a jury trial for any claim that would have been an action at law in the courts of England at the time of the founding, prior to the merger of law and equity.[1] There is an additional principle that so called “public rights,” like Social Security benefits or FCC licenses, need not be adjudicated by a real court (under Article III of the Constitution) but can be adjudicated by the executive branch. The theory is that public benefits are discretionary so the executive branch can decide how to dish them out. So you end up with administrative agencies having internal adjudicating bodies that look very much like courts, but which are not in fact courts.

Ordering a party to disgorge gains from fraud is of course not a “public right” but a quintessential legal proceeding that should be brought in a real court.

There’s a lot of things administrative agencies do that probably aren’t Constitutional and violate the separation of powers. Executive branch quasi-courts adjudicating claims like fraud is the tip of the iceberg. The Supreme Court upheld these statutes in the mid-20th century under the shadow of FDR’s threat of court packing. The Reagan-era Supreme Court was not inclined to roll those decisions back, but I think you will see the current Supreme Court being much more active on that front.

[1] Law courts are the courts we usually think of, with juries. They are the only courts that can award damages. Courts of equity are like the Delaware chancery court—they can award certain equitable relief such as recission of a contract. Today most states and the federal system invest legal and equitable powers in the same courts, but the right to a jury trial arose in England when those courts were distinct.

IRS Form 4868 (tax extension) exists for a reason [1]. The tax system is needlessly complex, especially if you're dealing with business ownership, salaries, or basically anything that creates additional tax complexity.

I've outsourced this clown show of an obligation to an accounting firm for the past 6 years or so, but for some that's simply not a feasible option. Nor should it be required -- an additional cost for the privilege of knowing how much you need to pay in to the government (who pretty much already knows this amount, in many/most instances, mind you) is beyond absurdity.

Tax filing in the US is archaic and like I've mentioned previously (but I'll say it again because it's a constant source of frustration for me) a needlessly complex process.

Based on the summary, the title is backwards-ass wrong. The courts ruled that the SEC is effectively acting as legislative, judicial, and executive government, and the executive (enforcement) part is the only one that isn't unconstitutional for them.

"The Supreme Court is, no doubt, the nation’s most powerful court. But the 5th Circuit, the federal appeals court that covers Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas, is staking out a claim to be the most dangerous — the least wedded to respecting precedent or following an orderly judicial process.
