> I get the innovator mentality of sweeping away the old but there seems to be a fine line between innovation and ignorance.

I think that this is the "innovator mentality" insofar that, as a group, we tend to idolize/cargo cult innovation as if it was always a good thing. As the pile of things that I miss grows much faster than the things that I feel that I've gained I have come to think of "innovation" as a force for destruction, rent-seeking, and greed, just as much as it can be a force for improvement.

As you say, in many cases things are the way they are because reasons. And some snot-nosed wanterpreneur is just as likely to degrade the situation as they are to improve it.
To me it's the most fun language to use. When you understand it to a good degree, you stop fighting compilers and are able to focus entirely on the problem at hand.
Circularity allows for threads which can give significant, robust and uniform clamping pressure, without need for any adhesives.

But really the distinguishing factor is the ratio between case volume and mechanism volume. If phones had a similar ratio to watches, you could just bolt them shut with a dozen screws.
I simply do not believe it was fraud, and I don't see any evidence provided of it being the case.

A badly-designed stablecoin? Incompetence? Sure. But the accusation of fraud requires evidence of malice.
The real, important value of implementing IP over WhatsApp (in a proper, transparent way as other commenters are stating, and not from a chatbot as in the article) is not to avoid paying $5 for WiFi on a plane, but to protest the lack of net neutrality in an effective way.
Given tiktok's growth, these old words are barely meaningful...
This along with the cyclical nature of the housing industry are definite negatives for carpentry as a long-term career for citizens in the US. The fact that the article doesn’t mention the under the table nature of illegal immigrant work crews and how that puts downward pressure on wage rates is a blatant omission.
How do I learn bridge, if I have little time and nobody nearby to play with? I've long wanted to learn but could never figure out how to start.
It wasn't that long ago that wind and electric weren't economically viable sources of energy. But after putting a lot of effort into making them more efficient they are now somewhat practical. As far as I know, similar levels of research and innovation haven't happened for nuclear fission. At least not yet.
Noticed Ave Maria is on that playlist. It’s obvious why it’s so famous but hearing it recently in The Batman definitely gave me “the feeling” the article is taking about.
I have trouble parsing the idea of a P0 that takes a quarter, I guess I'm too stuck in Pn as "incident" rather than planned work.

Indelibly etched in my mind is that P0 is like "patient is not breathing" / "everything else is pointless until we fix this".
Hmm, the license page mentions the GPL.

Megalithic raves were getting out of hand, so the priestly class had topsoil and gravel dumped into the underground rave-atoriums in the hope that everyone would go back to quietly contemplating the sky. Similar thing happened at Chaco canyon when younger generations insisted on partying in the kivas and didn’t much care about the sun-dagger or the celestial desert roads to nowhere, anymore.
I fail to see the practicality of this. Since the reason presented was not to pay for WiFi but you still have to pay a service like Twillio if you want to construct a Whatsapp to whatever gateway.

Also, why not construct a Whatsapp to HTTP gateway, since pictures and other binary data can be transformed with ease into text by something like base64 encoding. Sure, it would still not be practical, but it would be a better proof of concept.
Even at $legacy-big-company where I worked at the time, moving whatever made sense away from autoscaling instances and onto Lambda resulted in such significant cost savings that no-one is likely to ever look back. For simple things like the ‘pull a list of recent clients from the DB’ API, there’s nothing cheaper, and when you constrain your usage to only things that make obvious sense, it remains relatively easy to deploy and run.
They state multiple times, both on their (archived) landing page and documentation, that Anchor is the only protocol in use.

That's a lot more indicative than a mere "s" at the end of a word.
I recall at one point a code smell meant something more like “this may be off, but not necessarily, so you should investigate and be sure in your context.” It was better than “considered harmful”, which was more absolute. That nuance may once again be lost.

Rikers is a jail, not a prison. It might seem like I'm being pedantic but when you're talking about problems in the criminal justice system it's important to recognize the difference between the two and how the problems and solutions may be different.
See, from my perspective, democracy isn't a very good form of governance, and I don't understand why it should be applied as an end in and of itself in every area of life. This is in relation to co-ops, but also to the recent "democratization" drive in general.

I think it's the least bad form of governance for states because it seems to result in atrocities and genocide less regularly, but when it comes to other systems, (such as businesses) centralization and hierarchies are far more efficient and the decision makers are generally much more informed with the relevant data. With democracy, you spread the decision making across a vast number of under-informed people, which seldom results in superior outcomes.

Sure, incentives matter, I agree with you there. But the incentives aren't corrected when you add a democratic vote of all employees to the mix. The incentive alignment stay the exact same, where everyone is trying to save their own skin even at the expense of others or the firm as a whole. The only thing you've changed is reduce the liklihood of a data-driven decision, and increased the cost, complexity, and response time of dealing with dynamic and rapid changes affecting the organization.

Yeah uranium can power the entire world for about as long as the sun will run. This requires breeder reactors, which were first proven in 1952 at the EBR-1 in Idaho.

Great information!
Project PACER was certainly an attempt to introduce fusion reactors with the technology we currently have Mastery of.
In the early 1970s, both LANL and LLNL National Labs had PACER fusion programs.
Dr. Ralph Moir was the project leader for this program at LLNL.
Inertial Confinement fusion is "controlled fusion" to the very same extent as Magnetic Confinement fusion (the same fuels and fusion reactions are used and the same nuclear waste [stable nonradioactive Helium] is produced.

(more info)
What are the reasons that nuclear fusion power generation is not yet realized?

I've tried this before, it's a fucking nightmare lol it's not full-duplex at all so this severely limits your ability to do things at a reasonable speed for most shit. For me it was because at the time Zuckerbutt was giving out 'free' internet in the third world, but only for whatsapp, instagram, and facebook, so me and my friends wanted to see if this was exploitable, but it was just way too slow. It really gave me an impression of how fast TCP runs at normally which I took for granted before, and ideally bidirectionally fast.

For airport wifi I use a DNS tunnel or simple MAC rotation, for in-flight... well if they could make it quality someday maybe but every time I've shelled out like 50 bucks for an hour or whatever the ripoff deal is it doesn't work well enough to do anything. I hear the DNS tunnel method does work on some of them though, I should try that someday.

As a side note those in-flight screens in the backs of seats are interesting in this 'why the hell would they do this' kind of way. I managed to crash one when I noticed it had a USB port (bad idea on their part)... It was super easy, I tried to read the USB key but then just removed it when it was accessing the thing and the whole thing just went down. Apparently it was running x-windows on some type of *nix because I could see that default background with an X for the cursor. They should really get rid of those because I'm sure that they could be misused for nefarious ends.
At least until Ethereum goes tits up.
How does that help? YourISP is not looking at your HTTPS traffic, but your torrent traffic, right?
I always thought WhatsApp published their list of IPs (segregated by standard chats vs media), but it seems they only share CIDR blocks with operators privately: https://www.whatsapp.com/cidr.txt

And you say there's no segregation between chat and media - and I trust your out of date info more than my completely made up guesses.
Users are not given enough power to penalize bad actors. What do you expect?

> Germany is still a net exporter of electricity.

Very difficult to interpret that fact when dealing with renewable-heavy grids. Germany probably doesn't have a lot of control over when the energy is being generated - so it is entirely possible that they are exporting but still reliant on electricity imports - if power is being produced when it is not needed.
Possibly yes, look what's happening in Srilanka.
I resent that headline. I’m an idiot with a crippling lack of self-confidence
This is a funny argument against nuclear. Some nuclear reactor have to shut down for a few days to avoid heating the rivers is a big problem. But the solar panel being down more than half the time (night or clouds) and the wind turbine also being down depending on the wind in uncontrollable ways is Ok.
Duplication is for when future changes are independent. "This client wants their reports customized" maybe.

Flags are for when future changes affect both options. "On top of the usual functionality, we can also optionally handle this other related thing" or so. Or --dry-run handling.
> It has nothing to do with economics, nuclear energy is stagnant because the industry is a regulatory hell.

Except that San Onofre just shut down because we couldn't engineer the water tubes in the system properly in the face of being irradiated.

The real problem is that we have poured orders of magnitude more subsidy at fossil fuels than we have at fission or fusion.

If it weren't for the fact that it can ride the semiconductors R&D gravy train, solar would be in the same bad shape as nuclear.

No, the math doesn’t add up. The most recent reactor to open in France was in 2002. In the last 30 years France has opened a total of 5 new reactors with 7.300 MW of nuclear energy capacity (not subtracting the ~3.500 MW it decommissioned in the same period). In the same period Germany has closed 17 reactors with total capacity of around 18.000 MW (assuming I tallied correctly).

So unless France has significantly changed their energy production for their domestic usage (or reduced their energy consumption by a lot), this myth is simply false. Germany is not replacing their domestic nuclear energy with France’s.
- If I were offered the choice to wind back the clock and have her not exist, I wouldn't choose it, even if it would make me happier on the whole.

- If I were to travel back in time and convey that information to my past self, it would make him want a child more, not less.

- If you were to travel back in time and tell my past self "I talked to your future self, he said he'd probably be happier without a kid," and he believed you, then he might choose the opposite path. But that's because you didn't give him all the information.

In other words, given full and accurate knowledge of this future, I would not choose the other future. Once you're a parent you can never not be a parent again, not even in a hypothetical multiple-worlds time-travel scenario.
Japan has been kind to me. I have a very comfortable life here. Plus, Tokyo would come up somewhere in the top of the list of desirable places to live. Maybe yes to your question. But who has seen life ahead of time. If you asked me in 2009, I would have said finishing my grad school in US and settling down in NY maybe. Plus, going back to US / Canada is not easy for foreigners, remote position or not.

The investor valuation vs actual company value is a different ordeal.

In the end, AAPL is building a product, that is wildly popular. Makes a massive profit (and writes it all off, which is another discussion), and spreads its wealth to investors. The products they make produces value in and of themselves. Without the stock, the iPhone, iPad, Macs, cloud services, etc would still be valuable and used.

Crypto does not have anything to back itself. It doesn't produce value in and of itself. If suddenly people stop valuing crypto, there would be zero services it produces, unlike an iPhone. If suddenly the AAPL stock drops to 0, they can expose the code for enabling iphones to work and the tech can continue to be used one way or another for an existing an practical utility.

That's the difference people are missing. Even a company like Figma, who produces purely digital products, figma, without any investment, is a useful digital tool which serves a purpose to people who use it, without any need for others to invest into it. Theoretically it can be converted to a self-hosted service without any updates, an d still be a useful tool. The income model doesn't impact the utility of the digital tool. Not so with crypto.

This is what drives me nuts about crypto enthuseists... they forget the crypto has no value. And even saying "neither does money" but money does serve a practical purpose. It allows for one person selling chickens to convert those chickens to long-term value. And while money is only as valuable as people make it, money is backed by a country's production and reputation, so there is inherent anchoring of money to the world.
What do you want to use it for? There’s complex math for physicists (differential equations and linear algebra), and there’s complex math for mathematicians (i.e complex analysis, functional analysis, etc).

It’s all pretty much the same thing, but the emphasis is different depending on if the objects of your study are physical or non-physical.

No battery storage. 1:1 net metering with my utility. 21kw array is about 30% over what we’d need for annual consumption, but (Q Cell) panels were the smallest component of total system cost and they help keep the attic 5 degrees F cooler. Also, I’m required to carry $1M in liability insurance for anything over 10kw. Even if I have credits forever I want to maximize production to offset utility natural gas generation during daylight hours. Not needed but installed a soft start on the 4 ton AC condensing unit for longevity and to reduce start surge. I will likely add battery storage in the future when it declines in cost for outages.

The system is not yet configured to support solar only utility disconnected operation due to supply chain issues (additional components, rush to PTO), so I cannot speak to surge start capability of the IQ8+ micros in island mode.
They don't have to develop it. They just have to not prevent it from existing. If theirs is genuinely better, it will get used. But Apple is too scared to openly compete so they lock down and artificially limit competition.
> That means a lot of “lucky” decisions that good players make actually had a much higher probability of success

One thing I like about poker is that winning in the long run is not about improving your probability of success, it's about improving the expected profits. So you could actually start winning more by playing lower-probability hands, as long as when you win them, your profits are much greater.

This is one of the peculiar life lessons of Poker that I haven't seen many other places.

Is bridge like that or is it purely about probabilities?
the article claims the playlist is "scientifically verified" ... but doesn't seem to cover the science behind the list construction or verification. is there a background article somewhere else?
Fwiw, the "frissons" (free-saws) is the cajun word for "the heebie-jeebies".
These experiments / "experiments" tend to involve a significant factor that would invoke bs'ing. E.g. being interviewed on camera from a crowd - saying "uh" and "dunno" instead of answering is guaranteed to get your clip cut. Or in a scientific experiment: our society values knowledge. So if your amount of knowledge is being measured, a natural response would be to try to look extra good.

If they did am experiment like this, informing everyone a priori that some of the statements are bs, and that at the end, they're graded on identifying the bs as well as their knowledge, that could lead to a different outcome. At least it's one way to somewhat mitigate the desirability of appearing knowledgeable.
Yes. It would just be hard to persuade my girlfriend.
> that takes up 100-1000x the land

Practically irrelevant unless you're Singapore or the like.

> always has a few % of its installed capacity down for maintenance

That's true for a nuclear power plant fleet as well. There's always some downtime for maintenance and/or refueling (although usually you prefer to do both at the same time, sometimes unplanned outages are still a thing).

> and doesn't provide predictable output unless you mine about half a million pounds of lithium

Nonsense. Why would wind power plants require any lithium?

BTW in my country, $10B are close to providing 1 GW in average solar PV power output -- that is, capacity-factor-adjusted -- and it would have been more than 1 GW of average output if it weren't for our terrible PV capacity factor, so other countries fare much better. But even that would be on par with your 1 GW reactor (since that is slightly below 1 GW on average due to its own capacity factor). Yet PV costs keep decreasing year by year while reactor costs are increasing. The future will be very interesting...
OK, you can still do that. No changes for you. Someone else who wants to repair their own gets openly mocked by Apples 'compliance'.
Xeon Phi boards with HBM had a few modes of operation. The HBM could act as a cache for main memory, or you could set it up as directly addressable.

You could then allocate buffers in that address space and know they'd never be evicted.

I wonder if it was ever useful though. If you're able to make your algorithms stay within a certain block of memory, just allocating that in main memory and letting the cache do its job would seem to achieve the same goal.

I've heard that a frequent complaint with the Phi was that the speedups were absolutely real after code was modified to suit the architecture, but then when the adjusted code was tested on conventional Xeons it was sped up almost as much.
Did this get artificially tanked from the frontpage or was it natural descension?

They sell the dream, and the dream is you can be an influencer. Their mind is reinforced with it, and they are encouraged to try at every single step. So nobody is forcing, but they certainly are luring.
It doesn't work like this in the real world. There isn't some magic port that just lets you bypass the firewall.

Certain ports sometimes have laxer filtering/restrictions, for example 53, 80, and 443 - but you already know these in advance.

You aren't going to find out that port 18741 magically gets you an unrestricted internet connection.
Why should a person with a lot of money or a high income pay more for services? On average, they use much less of the services that actually cost big money than the people with lower incomes and less wealth?
Why? Why not $20M or at the absolute worse $200M?

I feel like if you need to ask a question like "Why can't this thing be built for $20m, or 0.03% of the cited $6bn cost?" then you don't understand the problem well enough.
You'll pass their "do you already know carpentry" test by being able to demonstrate basic safety knowledge and knowing which tool is which. You can definitely teach yourself carpentry, and they are likely selective because they have people coming in who have already self-taught a fair amount. So if you come in not knowing what a screwdriver or a drill bit is, they don't want you.

It would be unreasonable if they expected something like experience with specialty MDF blades and full panel saws. I doubt that is really what they wanted.
