That's an additional issue I didn't think of when writing my comment. Another omission in the linked video I guess? Though I am kinda expecting we can fix this with batteries, pumped hydro, flywheels, load shifting, interconnects, molten salt future tech idk, it generally seems like we have solutions here that should, however, be factored in (as you correctly comment) when comparing most renewables to nuclear.
Wow, Lex has gotten some of the greats on his podcast. I should probably give it a go. The few episodes I've seen were more shallow than I was looking for as an engineer, but I assumed that was because he's helping bring these interviews and ideas to a wider audience.

Will there be a new mass-vaccination and contact-tracing on our phones?

Will Astra Zeneca's large vaccine factory suddenly burst into flames when they are about to begin production?

Will the lion's share of contracts then go to U.S. Big Pharma?

Will their prices conveniently go up by 20% the year after?

Will we discover once again that Moderna patented specific genetic sequences of this virus a whole year before it was even spoken of in the news?

Let's see if there's a repeat of events, and if we can learn something this time around.
It's shocking that some people cannot fathom that in certain scenarios cloud offerings make sense.

They don't always make sense, in certain scenarios it is worth taking an open source, cloud independent tool, in some scenarios you can roll your own, but there are circumstances where it's a good choice using a tool your cloud provider gives you.
Crytocurrencies != smart contracts. The original premise of bitcoin was essentially to create a decentralized fiat currency. As its value grew the thesis then changed to equate more of a decentralized digital gold/inflation hedge that's easier to store and authenticate than actual gold.

So that's one use of crypto.

In the non Web3 world, we typically have to rely solely on the financial institution providing the service to make transactions. That is, we have to have a Paypal account to withdraw from Paypal. We can only buy/sell Robux on Roblox, etc. Smart contracts allow us to essentially utilize any provider we want without the provider having custody of the funds at any given time.

I can go to any dex I want and transact without depositing funds. The dex also cannot agree to perform a transaction and hold my funds hostage, like how Paypal screws over some of their merchants with their "internal investigations." I can also buy/sell coins that the dex mints (e.g. ORCA coin) anywhere I want. It's not tied to a single account nor is it tied to single exchange.

And that's without getting into NFTs, flash loans, LPs, and other features of Web3.
At the bottom of the intersection between moral philosophy and politics is a firm foundation: "Most of us believe X and it doesn't matter if you disagree because we're willing to use force if you don't comply."

Nobody wrings their hands that a murderer doesn't share the unprovable moral axioms of those who oppose murder. If a somebody refuses to comply with the anti-murder laws, then force is is used to stop him. Problem solved, no need to consult the philosophers.
My California-based family stopped briefly under a bridge during a Nebraska thunderstorm, due to the hail. We had more experience with snow, but this was summer. Hail happens in California but not necessarily as big as this was.
Ford just told 39k owners of Expeditions and Navigators to park outside because of engine fires. 12 of the 16 reported fires happened while the cars were turned off. https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/ford/2022/05/19/ford-...
Regarding the out of bounds. Indeed. I should fix that- middle of the work day / week now though!
~6 years ago, the Univ. of Michigan did major renovations on its large student dormitories. We're talking old but structurally quite sound reinforced concrete & masonry buildings, each housing ~1,000 undergraduates.

U of M spent about $100,000 per student bed (not per room) on those renovations. They could have bought brand new, custom built, state-of-the-art suburban-sprawl McMansions and given every student their own bedroom (vs. mostly-shared dorm rooms) for less money. And had the old dorms left over.

Yes, that money was on UM's Housing (vs. academic) side. But you should not expect other non-classroom, non-academic spending (by any part of UM, or similar institutions) to be any less profligate.
They didn't realize covid was essentially airborne at the time. Monkeypox is definitely not an airborne virus (yet).
Thanks for posting this plain-english summary.
Yeah like the other guy replied, they intended internally to send it to a wash fund but mistakenly (due to a UI glitch) paid the debt back to the lenders. Now that UI glitch was their fault too, so...the courts said, cry all you want.

And they're a gigantic bank, it's the original digital business, every banker knows a single arithmetic error is dangerous.

For the first year, I'd always take meetings (that weren't like 1-1 where I was expecting both to read closely and then talk about it, but the big group meetings with 5 or 10 people and not much usefulness) either walking around the block or else pacing around the house. Actually, even for the 1-1 meetings the pacing is very helpful.

For some reason I stopped that as the Covid wore on.
Great idea - would love this as well. And of course even better if there was an easy way to sync across browsers like other settings
I think the biggest failure wasn't the CDC being wrong at first, it was society not being receptive to changes. It's impossible to be correct every single time. The only thing they can do is say what they know so far.
Agreed. News used to be concerned with local municipalities, less so with state gov, and Sunday paper for national/intl news.

We've just got billions of people glued to know what Andrew Cuomo is doing in NYC.

The effects of this centralization/globalisation are massive. Local gov are becoming more corrupt because there is no one to police from a journalistic standpoint.

This sounds unreal. How did your supervisor managed his subordinates so they wound not spend their time in leisure activities?

I can relate to that. Broken aspirations, depleted ambition and energy and lack of interpersonal relationships sometimes make me feel sad.

First of all: What a terribly-made PDF... It's so compressed I can't even read the text at the top.

Secondly, it's just from an awful source: The Family Research Council (FRC) is designated as a hate group (for good reason!) by the Southern Poverty Law Center:

Even after all that it has yet another problem: It uses loaded terms like, "unborn children" to cover the entire gamut of zygote, embryo, fetus, etc. Is it really that impossible for the anti-choice movement to make a reasoned argument? To cite legitimate science? To present a clear (readable, haha) basis for this position that doesn't involve religion or tradition?

Why is it a fantasy? Millions of people in the us already have tesla power walls, there are hundreds at least of other solutions, and these things are sold out for a year or more. It works great, and people are using it. Your concern is that it won't last somehow? Your claims look like fear uncertainty and doubt. As others have posted, battery storage is already cheaper than gas peaker plants.
You’re right. I think the strength of dbt is in the T part of ELT. I wrote ELT to make a distinction in principle from the traditional ETL. (E)xtract and (L)oad is the data ingestion phase that would probably be better served by Dagster, where you could use Python.

(T)transform is decoupled and would be served in set-based operations managed by dbt.
It doesn't matter whether they were using FSD or AP. The point is that the Tesla was self-driving like a drunk teenager on the freeway, and this is a noticeable regression from the behavior of other self-driving Teslas I'm forced to share the road with.
About six inches.
Last time I used it, syncing the metadata (media details, watched status resume points, etc) across multiple clients wasn't good enough for me.

I have 3 Kodi clients, all on the same LAN, and it never worked properly. I switched to PlexMediaServer, the PlexKodiConnect plugin, and have been relatively happy -- other than Plex knowing what media my generic email address is consuming.

Perhaps I shall take another look at Jellyfin and see if I can move over completely.

Yeah, I'd agree with that. But even then, it would be more valuable if it committed to at least some meaningful, non-platitudinous positions. Something with which at least one person on the planet might disagree. Not "it would be nice if databases were fast, scalable, reliable, personally tailored to everyone on the planet, ...".

For example, my predictions for future databases would be:

- They will take over more functions of the average backend codebase: instead of database users, they will have a concept of application users, along with their privileges, and simple CRUD logic will be executed by the database.

- Horizontal scaling will be less important than we currently think. Consensus will be handled at a lower level, by networked filesystems or storage engines. (Zookeeper, in the Java world, is a proto-example of what I mean.) This is one instance of the trend that...

- Databases will be 'unbundled' (Kleppmann's term). Many of the dull uniform bits will be shared rather than reimplemented. This will happen either through libraries or - more likely and preferably - through separate pieces of software, implementing an interface, which the user will compose. (Rebundling will occur for users who just want a click-and-tick experience.)

- Self-optimising will - I agree with the article here - widen in scope. Users won't have to perform housekeeping tasks like creating indices on commonly-queried fields.

- Databases won't target a filesystem but block storage. This will accompany a convergence of disk (NVMe) and RAM (NVRAM) towards persistent random-access storage of state. Databases, along with applications, won't think in terms of a rigid distinction between "what's in my process's memory" and "what do I have to expressly commit to the disk with a syscall". Tuple spaces are a precursor.
Thank you for this comment, I had to scroll all the way down to read some good-sense (I had made a comment basically identical to yours when it comes to artillery+drones a little earlier).

I think it all comes down to the "educated" Western audiences only following this conflict through the eyes of the Western media, which Western media has its own incentives (about which this is not the place to write at length), suffice is to say that their reports don't accurately reflect the situation on the battleground.

What does reflect the situation on the battleground is the videos coming from both side (Ukrainian and Russian) which clearly show that artillery (plus cheap commercial drones used as spotters) is bringing in most of the losses. The greatest military Russian defeat [1] in this war until now was the result of artillery and drones, not of javelins, not of any fancy and expensive Western-provided weapons.

Later edit: This [2] is good, old artillery in use (in this case by the Russians). There's no javelins nor drones all by themselves that can take those artillery pieces out.

If you have to use a cache plugin on wordpress, it's much easier to use apache instead of nginx because all cache plugins can automatically configure the cache behavior using automatically generated .htaccess files instead of requiring you to manually configure nginx yourself. Nginx does have speed advantage over apache (and other advantages as well), but if majority of your traffics are going to get served by a static cache, might as well use apache because it's not particularly slower at serving static files compared to nginx, while saving you some configuration headaches.
Kind of like sovereign citizens?
I don't think a lot of users are impacted. Most of the "dumbing down" is actually useful feature improvements and simplifications, and most people who care are a vocal minority.
Teslas all have mechanical door releases, but aside from the front seat doors in Model S and Model X they all require knowledge of their location and use.

The design in Model S and X are that a light pull of the door handle triggers the electronic latch, but pulling it fully will engage the mechanical release also. I think this design is excellent, but I personally believe that every other mechanism Tesla has used is dangerous, especially for backseat passengers who are more likely not to know the unusual location and operation of the emergency releases.

When I took delivery of my car many years ago, one of the back door latches hadn't been connected at the factory, so luckily I learned all about this on day 1 of ownership.
The triad of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are actually fantastic for the web if used intelligently. Unfortunately the "used intelligently" part is skipped way more often than it should be.

Having HTML be the first resource at a URL is awesome. HTML can have lots of "invisible" metadata for a variety of user agents. Not every user agent is a graphical browser wanting to run arbitrary code. The microbrowsers that generate previews when shared by messaging apps have different needs than a graphical desktop browser which has different needs than a screen reader. The same HTML can serve all the user agents "for free".

Sticking styling and interactivity into separate resources let's the user agent figure out what it needs to load. A screen reader likely doesn't care about images, a phone might load a custom CSS based on a media tag, and a microbrowser wants the OpenGraph data in the header.

HTML also makes it trivial to point readers to different sections of itself so a user agent can jump to a relevant part of the page. So you get hyperlinks between documents and even specific sections of documents.

HTML is not perfect but it's great for documents. Even full JavaScript apps should at least provide a skeleton of HTML saying they need JavaScript to run and give non-graphical user agents pointers to appropriate resources. Much of the content of the web would work just fine as documents and does not need to be constructed on the client with megabytes of JavaScript and hundreds of calls to different resources.
I also prefer to run Nginx as vanilla as possible, but having automatic renewal of certificates is something which is really nice.
I looked around at some of the more popular solutions, but didn't like the mounting of the docker socket required by [acme-companion][1], or the lack of bootstrapping capability of [nginx-certbot][2], so I made [something][3] that solved both of those issues. A self contained Docker container that is able to populate the certificate request form what you write in your Nginx configuration files.
Please check it out if you have time, and I will gladly take any feedback if you have any!

I'm not sure why you're being downvoted. As of a few days ago all but one of the cases was someone with recent male/male sexual contact and presented with lesions around the anus.

It would be incredibly foolish to think, however, that sexuality has any impact on your vulnerability. Do not come into bodily contact with someone exhibiting lesions, period.
Wow, cannot believe there is another saying so close to the Chinese one...
I really like this as a response to OP. Thanks for taking the time.

OP laments that people who are bodily affected by these abortion rules aren't willing to have an abstract debate about the constitutional definition of privacy. Of course constitutional lawyers can construct plausible arguments that move privacy protections around. The debate can be imagined, even constructed, but it's irrelevant to the actual power struggle that's playing itself out.

The move by the court was a political one. The angles have been worked by a donor class and a compliant Senate for a decade and more. The consequences of this ruling will be unpopular and will result in needless suffering and (obviously) lawbreaking. "Fuck that noise" is a perfectly legitimate response, under the circumstances.

The fact that most commenters here can't see what's going on --- as opposed to the "logical" thing they wish were going on --- is one of the major blind spots of this discussion board.
It depends, I think I go deeper than most people. Mostly it's intuition and curiosity based, but trying to reverse engineer what I do...

There are usually a lot of abstraction layers, all of them leaky to differing degrees. I like to have a broad picture of the big abstraction layers pretty much all the way down, and then details proportional to how much they manage to bubble up through the abstraction layers.

For example if I was trying to teach someone how to program in a reasonably high level language (rust, python, etc). I'd (eventually) want them to know that assembly and machine code exists - if we're talking about python also that bytecode exists, but I definitely don't care if they know how to read/write it because there's a strong abstraction layer between the language and the concrete machine. On the other hand I'd (eventually) want them to know not just that file handles exist, but that they're integers allocated by the OS and how syscalls work with them, because the abstractions on top of file handles are quite leaky, and it's often useful to understand what they are when looking at various forms of debug output (especially strace output).

And this is a luxury. If you're learning a technology that you need to use immediately, skip out learning on things deeper in the stack until you have free time and are already productive. Even if you're not in a hurry, generally learning lower level things is motivated by wanting to know how the higher level things work.
Well it probably tied up a lot of resources at Bletchley Park. I don't think the German screwed up.

But I can decode it myself. Says "FUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUCKYOU" to the enemy.
I don't know offhand, though among the more reliable open sources groups seems to be Oryx.

They've been reporting on verified losses, but not means of loss so far as I'm aware.

Currently PRC can still hit US basing in SK or JP and trigger US art5 tier security umbrella forcing them to fight within 1st island chain and range of strong PRC A2AD. Unless US choose to forgo commitment and obligations which is self defeating.

There's also PRC signalling developements of their prompt global strike program, using ICMBs to hit any target around the world = sinking US naval assets in port. Keep in mind every USN capital asset has to dock for maintainence eventually and current fleets are sustained by less than a handful of TAEO ships that enables more than a few days of continuous operation, which will make even distant blockade unviable. Sealift command / auxiliary force has ~30 fast support/oiler/ammunition ships total for all of USN. Reality is short/medium term PRC rocketry developments has potential destroy not just blue water naval projection but also extends inland to other strategic targets (i.e. strategic bombers) that make entire CONUS vunerable to deter attacks on mainland PRC targets. Ultimate goal is mutual conventional vunerability, which arguably already exists with cyberwarfare - US can blocade PRC, but no telling if PRC cyberwarfare can disrupt comparable % of US industrial production. IMO Blockade advocates US can starve PRC with impunity without realizing CONUS has become existentially vunerable in a other domains. Like stop PRC food/fuel imports and don't be surprised if energy grids start breaking down or DRMed agri equipement stops functioning during harvest season.

>except with the US actively fighting

Historically and fundementally, PRC taking TW has always been an exercise in overcoming US military. The point when PRC chooses to take TW, it would be when PLA has eroded ability for US to intervene by which time defeating US military intervention is as significant a political victory. Current PRC military modernization and aquisitions isn't built with confronting TW in mind, but US military and assumed US intervention. Frankly if US can be deterred or defeated then taking TW would be easy simply because it opens many other options like blockade, quarantine, siege etc. Then it will be a question of whether US is foolish enough to defend TW and risk losing her global hegemony or safe face and allow it to be an domestic Chinese civil war matter.

There's a difference between "foo" and "threat of foo". The latter can last for a long time, e.g. airport security procedures implemented in response to one-time events, still in effect twenty years later, with little evidence of effectiveness.
