This is supposed to be Free Enterprise's incentive to keep you competitive, i.e., you will lose it all if you don't keep your sprinting top notch. This is the nature of disruption. Look at what Uber did to the taxi industry (and the value of taxi medallions in NYC).

Oligarchies offer a way to buffer this effect, so that there can be several companies existing in an industry that slow-walk (disruptive) innovation and buy up competitors in their early stages. Hard to say how long an oligarchy can hold, though. Look at Intel & AMD, and how they're facing a serious test from ARM chips. Even further, what will the onset of Quantum Computing do to the market holds they have.

Free enterprise's nature as winner-take-all is what makes the difference here. Why was it that Friendster, Myspace, and Second Life could all co-exist, but when FaceBook came along they went defunct (mostly). In a more extreme example, consider robotics/AI and how it will replace humans. When robotic surgery is perfected, will 'manual' surgery even be considered 'safe' anymore?
Approval voting is simultaneously simpler to understand, more effective in achieving results voters are happy with, and is inherently de-polarizing for obvious reasons. It's also very easy to understand why someone won when the winning criteria is "be the person that the largest number of voters are okay with".

Yeah but they were pretty terrible until relatively recently.
There appears to be a slightly amusing typo in the slug for the Cork Opera House too.
Kind of reminded me of the traditional wisdom that you should select chains and sprocket to avoid patterned wear. I don't know if there is an effect (especially with bikes and their low torque),but I always think about it when changing my chain. I suppose this only applies to single sprocket bike.
I remember a visitor center large-scale multitouch game we made for Sea World. It was being installed for long-term heavy usage. We built it in Flash (I know) — it was lovely but we just couldn’t stop the memory leaks.

We made slight adjustments (outros and intros) so that it seemed natural to have a 10 second break for the program to restart. And, we built in a longer cycle of computer resets. It was an unreasonably stable system for years!
Here in Norway, we don't have any credit score in that sense. Rather, we have sort of a "credit history" system, which shows the following:

-When there's been registered wage garnishment (by court) against you.

-When there's been registered a lien against your property.

-When you've entered a court-ordered debt payment program.

-When you've been registered as bankrupt.

And by law, these things have to be deleted when you've settled your debt. In any case, it's difficult to get those things by accident. Usually you're at the end of the process, and have been through civil court.

With that said - it should be mentioned that Norway is a INCREDIBLY creditor friendly country, as far as the law goes. If a creditor really want their money back, they can / will take you to court, and eventually get a garnishment on your wage or welfare money. Or property/vehicles/personal belongings lien if you don't have any income.

I like the system as it is. I really don't like the idea of constantly having to do things with respect to a credit score - and I'm not talking about gaming the system or being a deadbeat, but trying to maximize my credit score for the sake of keeping it high.

The good thing though is that history is basically meaningless as far as predicting any of this.

The bright side to all this is there isn't much hope to get out of this besides software.

Life doesn't have a low volatility, constant upward drift towards personal nirvana. This is going to be a big bump in the road but things will get better on the other side. We eventually cleared and went way beyond the dot com bubble and we will go way beyond the past 15 years at some point in the future.
You just have to ask. "Was the business plan was to keep getting VC money or crypto money for the next 5 years before being profitable." If the answer is yes, you should expect huge layoffs or bankruptcy in most cases.

Better to lie to the detriment of the environment than to the detriment of the consumer like Tesla does.

What VW did is essentially what developing countries do for their citizens by declaring bogus CO2 numbers in order to make the IPCC/UN/COP happy and keep granting the welfare and quality of life of their citizens providing energy they badly need to live like they deserve.

Too bad they got caught, hopefully the model can be replicated by TATA and Great Wall Co. Ltd as well as other car manufacturers which are located in jurisdictions which are not subject to the ESG tyranny.

"Broadening the GMO risk assessment in the EU for genome editing technologies in agriculture": https://enveurope.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/s12302-0...

"...Genome editing techniques, especially the CRISPR/Cas technology, increase the possibilities and the speed of altering genetic material in organisms. So-called genome editing is increasingly being used to achieve agriculturally relevant novel traits and/or genetic combinations in both plants and animals, although predominantly as proof of concept studies, with commercial growing or rearing so far limited to the U.S. and Canada...

...However, there are numerous reports of unintended effects such as off-target effects, unintended on-target effects and other unintended consequences arising from genome editing, summarised under the term genomic irregularities...

...Despite this, the searching for genomic irregularities is far from routine in these studies and protocols vary widely, particularly for off-target effects, leading to differences in the efficacy of detection of off-target effects..."

Or use a system which enables proportional representation. Then the totally incompatible viewpoints will both have an outlet to congregate around and an arena to discuss.

Thus also making sure that one of the larger parties can't get co-opted by for example the Trumpism movement inside it. In a proportional system that would have been it's own party.

Case in point, how most nationalistic parties in Europe have stopped at 10-25% of the votes depending on country, thus having influence but not dictating it.
I think the term tech company should basically not be used, except in very specific cases where a company develops the technical underpinnings of the rest of the economy like AI or chips or energy storage, avionics, etc.
“Instances over the past ~7 years in which you didn’t pay back debts” is used precisely because of its value in predictive modeling your likelihood to pay back prospective new debt.

> Watch out for embedded asbestos fibre in stucco ceilings or external claddings especially before the 80s - that shit can really tank resale value because it is hideously expensive to remove (vendor doesn’t legally have to declare it {in New Zealand}, but at some point in the future I expect that will be required).

Best not to remove asbestos unless it is flaking and unpainted. Disturbing it is likely to make things worse. It lasts forever and has incredible insulative properties despite its toxic nature.

Almost all older homes (pre 1973 I think) have lead paint too with the same caveat to not disturb it unless absolutely necessary. Lead plumbing is a different matter and should be removed unless possibly it is a sewage pipe.

Resale prices are relative to other homes in the neighborhood. If all the other homes are old too, then they all have the same toxic building materials so no devaluation is likely.

The answers in this thread indicate no really good ideas for fast and legal/ethical so your best bet is to land a tech job and work 6-9 months to get to 100k if you're senior and if you're more junior then probably 1 year.

All other 6 figure professions require massive schooling or certifications/apprenticeships/internships of some kind. Or years to get to 6 figure territory. For tech, you can learn web development online and then work at any SaaS that has CRUD apps as a junior-mid level engineer and start around there. If/once you have experience you should be starting above that.

One viable option is some consultancy that pays for deliverables, not hours and meeting attendance. Let me know if you find a consultancy like this. I think that would be ideal semi-retirement mode, work one 6 month contract each year or something like that.

Poland also has an interest in small nuclear plant modules, mostly from US and UK. I guess the advantage is that these can be produced on a larger scale and then installed on the spot, instead of having to design a nuclear plant from scratch every time one is to be created.
yes,you are right

That's an overly simplistic perspective that ignores how the political process itself shapes the choices and opinions of people. For an extreme example, in the democratic part of his rise to power, Hitler never called for war with Europe. As soon as he gained power, he instituted mass propaganda and suppressed any dissent, so by the time he started annexing and invading Austria and Poland he was enjoying real and massive popular support. A very similar story with Putin unfolded in the last 20 years, a crescendo of democratic erosion, stifling of dissent, revisionist nationalism, militarism and finally mass murder. The Russian people went alongside Putin every step of the road.

The hope here is that by tinkering with subtle features of the political system, it's less politically profitable to push extreme "us versus them" narratives; that is, candidates that are palatable to the majority gain the upper hand against those that have the support of the most extreme, well organized and motivated minority.

Unfortunately, the red-tapism & lack of political push to bring & nurture the startup culture is leading folks to move to greener pastures. Also the 'Make in India' initiative is lacking the punch to retain talent. Those who are staying back / returning are the ones who have family obligations (supporting parents, raising kids etc) or just more comfortable with the local culture. In theory, the default should not be finding an opportunity abroad.
My experience working for a big company is that most things are not your job. It's not that you get to say "it's not my job", it's that you are not allowed to make it your job.

I like working for a smaller company because I can make things my job. In any company there are things that need doing that either aren't being done or are being done suboptimally. Almost every day I spot something and think "I could do that". So I make it my job.
Haha that’s true! I am an electrical engineering student, if I have to guess it may be due to random electric charges, probably grounding was not done properly.
I wonder if the average customer knows about the cult of Musk, or if they're aware of him as much as they know the CEO of the fridgemaker Bosch (if you're asking "who's the CEO of Bosch", yeah that's what I'm wondering if that's the reaction of the average people to "CEO of Tesla").

My instincts is electric cars are probably flying off the shelves in Europe now due to gas prices (but on the other hand, hello recession), maybe if German car buyers don't know about Musk the German media should start printing more about him to boost the sales of VW and other German cars, and Musk can tweet about conspiracies...
Lawyers are not usually allowed in small claims court. But I'm pretty sure that all of the credit reporting agencies have a trained staff of non-lawyers who are nonetheless sufficiently well versed in this particular aspect of the law to destroy any prospective plaintiff.

I don't see how you could justify that conclusion.

Is it that nuclear power plants aren't built overnight, and until they're done current power generation needs to continue? Because in that case it's just the status quo, but with an end data.

If it's the fact that the building of a power plant costs significant energy, then why is that your problem with it? You need to bootstrap at some point, and some countries have made the ridiculous decision to go backwards, undoing that investment.

Also, "nukes" generally means nuclear weapons, not nuclear reactors. It feels like it's being used here to intentionally denigrate nuclear power generation.
> Does not protect people (99% are just fake. If you reject cookies you keep get them)

Fake cookie banners are illegal under the GDPR. Seriously, in what other aspects of life do people respond to terrible enforcement by saying the law is the problem? (Of course there exists a bunch of stupid laws that are also terribly enforced, but here the objective of the GDPR is not stupid – it's merely a matter of terrible enforcement)

> Cost money to company (so cost to customers)

Most regulation comes with a cost. The fact that this does, too, is kinda meaningless on its own. Food safety regulation comes at a cost – that, in itself, is not an argument against such regulation.

Are you seriously arguing that legislation to enforce such privacy standardization would be easier to enforce than the current GDPR? By all means, what you're proposing sounds great – better than the GDPR even – but massively harder to do.

So can we set the other argument aside just for a moment and get clarity on whether you think people in this thread are right to express concern re Xinjiang? That would disabuse everyone reading your comments of the concern that you're just purposely derailing them, and should be easy to clarify. We can have both discussions, without using one to shut down the other, and surely you want that. Right?
It will move down market until supply and demand equalize.

There's a plethora of china cabinets and hutches right now. They'll be used as storage. And when the supply dries up (because 90% of them will have been thrown away or destroyed in hard use) people who want one will spend $50 on them. Metal cabinets that held various sizes of card stock went through the same thing starting a couple decades ago.

If one is going to go into the effort and cost to put an SoC onboard that can run a touchscreen, one should just have the device communicate with the touchscreen computer in your pocket instead.

Common basic functions: knobs dials switches.

Extended functions: there's an app for that, or suffer through modal button changes like you describe.

Save on BOM costs, less points of failure, and does not require an SoC with display controller and a software stack running a (usually janky and slow and non-standard) UI.

20 years ago, I was talking with a co-worker, the HR director in the company I used to work in back then. Her background was a PhD in horse breeding. We talked about topics such as this.

She said, based on her background with horses and by watching which of her friends had the most kids, she was not very optimistic about future generations.

From the stats, it looks like it is only the rich (7 digits) and the very poorest that currently have fertility above the replacement rate:

How much that affects the genes, is hard to say, apart from what the horse-breeder's gut feeling was.
No. The coin could land on its side, for instance, and stay there.

Consider a pencil that is placed almost vertically, and then later drops to a horizontal position. There is a period where it is "unsure" where to go, and the more perfectly balanced it starts out, the longer this period is (assuming no wind etc.)

That's what is being discussed.

Not necessarily.

The core idea of capabilities is more like having a URL to a Web page. Using the URL (the capability), you can access the contents of the page. Inside the contents, you can possibly find other URLs (more privileges granted to you). But the URL happens to be something like an UUID, or a short link; looking at it, you cannot derive another URL (discover another "capability", not granted to you).

In other words, a capability is like a key in a hash table, and unlike an index in an array.

Coincidentally, I'm reading Where Wizards Stay Up Late about the development of ARPANet and it says:

> In designing the IMPs, BBN made it possible to loop the host and modem interfaces of the machine, so they could conduct “loopback” tests. The loopback test, which could be performed remotely, connected an IMP’s output to its input, effectively isolating the IMP from the rest of the network. This generated test traffic through the interface and allowed BBN to check the returning traffic against the outgoing traffic generated by the IMP.

So it seems like it was in there from the very beginning. No mention of the 127/8 address specifically though.

One point is that you can't replace an entire grid with renewables due to their intermittent nature. They're also building out renewables so perhaps the nuclear generators are intended to offset some of their reliance on coal/gas on-demand generators?
