I wonder how much of the 'indie web' exists in its original (not revived) form. Are there any numbers for it? Going by link rot and domain expiries perhaps less than half over the course of a decade or two. So much for cool URIs don't change!

For me, it's more about the information discovery element. Beyond a penalty in Google and not being in the 24 hour news cycle of social media- you don't have traditional discovery like web rings, directories like DMOZ and forums that specialise in a niche. They're all still present in one form or another, but far less prominent.

The availability of cheap gas is also a necessary component. That is the silent partner when people talk about renewables, usually [1]. And of course, oil companies aren't exactly small corporations, so there are also subsidies there [2][3].

What makes you think it's going to be more complicated if you use ECS behind the scene?

What if I tell you I have a service that is able to do that it takes away all the complexities. You literally need no understanding of the underlying services, you just benefit from its flexibility, and simplicity.
The fuller quote from the PSEG page is:

"Since the first ZECs eligibility period began, power markets have deteriorated significantly, thus the financial needs of New Jersey's nuclear plants have continued to grow. Nationwide, nuclear plants continue to struggle economically to survive. Since 2018, three nuclear plants have closed in the eastern U.S., all for economic reasons, and the impact has had a ripple effect."

So, they aren't blaming regulations, they're blaming the fact that the power markets have "deteriorated" ie. there is less money to be made.

Nuclear clearly hasn't become cheaper, and neither have fossil fuels, so what exactly has led to this cheaper electricity if it isn't the plummeting price of renewables?

Indeed. This will use FIDO 2 Discoverable Credentials / Resident Keys. Those are fully stored on-key (but their number is limited): https://developers.yubico.com/WebAuthn/WebAuthn_Developer_Gu....

Non-resident keys will basically give out the private key encrypted with a static master key as the key handle and thus support an unlimited number of keys. If you lose the key handle, then the key is gone. That's probably what you were experiencing with your Titan.

Well I think comparing intermittent energy with baseload energy 1:1 is kind of unfair since they fill different functions in the grid.

Before discussing chaos in QM, I'd like someone more knowledgeable than me to explain a few things to me, if you don't mind, of course:

1) how do we know particles act as/are waves? the double slit experiments does not seem to be proof of that:

a) if we rotate the slits 90 degrees, then the interference pattern also rotates 90 degrees in the same direction...does that mean the wave also rotates 90 degrees? does this mean the wave is 3d? and if so, why is the interference pattern not a checkerboard?

b) if we enlarge the slits, the interference pattern goes away; the more we enlarge the slits, the more the interference pattern disappears. This means that in our original experiment, the slits were too small for the particle and the particle hits both slits simultaneously, and hence the interference pattern. Why should then the particle be a wave? putting a detector means to make the two slit equipment one slit effectively, making the interference pattern disappear. How can then one reach a conclusion that particles are waves?

2) how do we know that entanglement is the result of 'spooky action at a distance' and not the result of creating two entangled particles? couldn't it be that the particles are created with correlated spins and no communication ever occurs between them?

Why am I asking these simple questions and not contribute to the discussion meaningfully, you might ask? well, it seems QM has all the markings of an strange theory, that works for some cases, does not work for some others, and it requires magic for some others. Those things make me think that the basics of QM may be invalid, so I am really questioning those basics.

I am sure I am 100% wrong, so please do illuminate me on the questions above; I've tried to ask before, and in different sites, the worst responses being 'go away lame person! how you dare questioning are beautiful intellect!!!', and the best responses being lots and lots of math that don't really answer my basic questions. I am just looking for simple straightforward answers.
You can use a GPG key stored on a YubiKey with openssh, but with some caveats:

1. gpg-agent must act as your ssh-agent (which means ssh-agent should be disabled and replaced by gpg-agent).

2. If using `pinentry-curses` (YubiKey usually permits access to the contained GPG key via the use of a pin), you must have `export GPG_TTY=$(tty)` (or your shell's equivalent of setting the GPG_TTY environment value to the output of `tty`).

3. You can fetch the public key of your GPG key with `ssh-add -L` (gpg-agent must be acting as your ssh-agent, and the YubiKey with the GPG key has to be plugged in).

4. You must have the line `enable-ssh-support` in your `$GNUPGHOME/gpg-agent.conf`.

I used a guide[1] to set up a GPG key on to a YubiKey, and for those who don't want to use GPG, the guide also has a section[2] about just using an SSH key as well.

The problem with revivals is that they're all about what the revivalist resonated with at the time. Most times are rich with creativity and multiple, often contrasting, viewpoints. When you distill them into a form of nostalgia, they are necessarily the reduction that resonates most with the folks orchestrating the revival.

The early web meant a lot of different things to a lot of different people, but many people want to claim that they represent the true spirit of the early web.
Technically Bitcoin has already been surpassed.

But "top cryptocurrency" generally refers to the marketcap, which is almost entirely speculation driven, and speculation doesn't seem to care much about fundamentals. Just look at what other crap people speculate heavily in...

So your guess is as good as mine on how long it will take for reality to catch up with Bitcoin.
My favourite part about these is that if you take these interfaces, anti-alias the fonts and add some colours to the UI widgets, you get a modern-day interface. Minus the animation, so probably faster.

IMO, yes. Not necessarily because it has deficiencies, but because it is not trying to progress and move things forward and the community consensus mechanism is broken.
> Nobody wants their products to be unreliable or difficult to repair.

Hard to believe when a printer manufacturer moves a commonly failing part from cartridges to the printer itself, then makes it impossible to repair that specific part without taking apart the whole thing and buying a replacement part for 160 bucks.

> Also data collection is helpful for seeing how customers use products, which genuinely does influence development.

I'll start calling it helpful once it actually improves product quality and usability.

Here's an interesting graph showing the average insolation for several places in Sweden over the last 40-something years:

https://www.smhi.se/polopoly_fs/1.181504.1647960904!/image/a...

Notice the steady increase (called "global brightening"). This graph is produced and hosted by the Swedish Meteorological & Hydrological Institute (SMHI). They don't produce similar graphs for longer periods nor do they show the correspondence between average insolation and temperature. Fortunately the data is available for Stockholm (see e.g. page 184 of IPCC's AR5 - Observations: Atmosphere and Surface, [1]) which made it possible to create such a graph:

https://imgur.com/a/JF5JlxH

The correspondence between insolation and average temperature is very strong but it hardly ever gets mentioned in the public discourse around climate change. It is discussed on page 186 of AR5 chapter 2 [1] where the observation is made that there is a correspondence and there are numerous studies which come to the same conclusion but as so often is the case there is little to no relation between what the scientific literature says and how the media presents this.

In his weekly column the famous IT philosopher explains issues in computation in a very thoughtful manner.

Recently, Conway's Game of Life was implemented as a one-liner in APL executed in FORTH. APL is another weird-looking programming language. Implementing Conway's game of Life yet again is important because it is a fundamental example of a computation. In this case, the one-liner is important because it is an example of how to concisely express a computation.

Conway's Game of Life is a cellular automaton. A cellular automaton is a discrete model of computation. It consists of a grid of cells, each of which can be in one of a finite number of states. The state of the automaton is updated in discrete time steps, according to a fixed rule. In Conway's Game of Life, the rule is that a cell is alive in the next time step if and only if it was alive in the previous time step and exactly two or three of its eight neighbors were also alive. If a cell is not alive in the previous time step, then it is alive in the next time step if and only if exactly three of its neighbors were alive.

The one-liner in APL executes the Game of Life rule on a two-dimensional grid of cells. The input to the one-liner is the state of the grid at some time step, and the output is the state of the grid at the next time step. The one-liner is able to do this because it uses a clever trick. It treats the input grid as a one-dimensional array of cells, and it uses the fact that the Game of Life rule can be expressed as a matrix operation.

The one-liner is:

life←{↑1 ⍵∨.↑1 3 4⍵}

This one-liner is an example of how to concisely express a computation. It is also an example of how to use a powerful programming language to express a computation in a simple and elegant way.
Most people think that a currency guided by an entity works better than an unguided one.
The continued existence of the "baseload myth" is a good example how well nuclear lobbying works.

To clarify, lets look at what baseload means. Lets take wikipedia's definition:
> The baseload (also base load) is the minimum level of demand on an electrical grid over a span of time for example, one week...

Electricity demand varies over time (on various time scales). Electricity providers need to make sure that they can supply both the continuous demand (i.e. the lowest point of the noisy curve that is supply) and the fluctuations (using some sort of adjustable supplies).
Traditionally it was cheaper to have some power plants run 24/7 at constant output power (e.g. your nuclear power plants), to supply the baseload and use more expensive adjustable sources, e.g. gas peakers to supply varying demand.

That is an economic decision, if gas peakers are cheaper than those plants running 24/7 you would never use them, because the variable sources give you much more flexibility.

With renewables we are in exactly this situations. Renewables give you varying supply, so essentially a noisy supply curve with some average and a minimum supply, given a sufficiently large grid that supply will not be zero and with enough build out, you will always have enough supply to cover baseload. Because renewables are so much cheaper than nuclear, economically you would always build more renewables to lift up your ability to supply baseload, moreover because (most) renewables are varying, you actually also create capability to supply the varying demand (something you can't do with a nuclear power plant).

So in short, intermittent renewables can supply baseload (in fact they are better at that then working as "peakers"). If they are much cheaper than nuclear (which has been the case for many countries) it makes more economic sense to build more renewables than large nuclear plants.

incidentally the wikipedia article talks about the fact that you can use intermittent sources for baseload just in the next sentence
> This demand can be met by unvarying power plants,[2] dispatchable generation,[3] or by a collection of smaller intermittent energy sources,[4] depending on which approach has the best mix of low cost, availability and high reliability in any particular market.

So in short it is a myth that you require nuclear (or any large 24/7 power plant) for baseload. If renewables are significantly cheaper than nuclear, then it makes sense to invest in renewables to supply that baseload.
Yes. Some call these “universal backdoors”: https://www.gnu.org/proprietary/po/proprietary-back-doors.pt...
> they aren't blaming regulations

Yet no evidence for this is raised.

I don’t believe an abandonment of nuclear R&D is solely to blame. But I haven’t seen sufficient evidence to discard the hypothesis.
That seems like an entirely theoretical risk. I've never seen a sheffield stand cut, or actually even any easier-to-cut stands cut. I've seen plenty of bike locks cut or attempted to be cut though.

I think it's not as easy as you think, and perhaps more importantly passers by are much more likely to challenge you if you're cutting a bike stand in half!
Well calling it "planned" adds a conspiratorial element, maybe there's a better word.

The effect comes from many sources. When the engineering science is new, tech tends to be way overbuilt because the creators don't know what tolerances are. There's also the ratio of product cost to disposable income of the users. And to their wish for devices over time.

In any case, the natural tendency of a profit-optimizing system of competition is to throw away values (eg., repairability) that consumers at-purchase dont value. In this case, no biz is going to spend extra to include long-life features at a loss to competitors who don't.

The remedy here is regulation, which is the mechanism which sets a floor on competition: since consumers at-purchase are at an extreme informational disadvantage, the gov. should require all biz to build in long-life features given consumers do want them, long after purchase.

It's not a conspiracy, more of a market failure. The market doesnt produce optimal outcomes in cases where these extreme information asymmetries are built in, ie., by the time the product is around for 10yr to be reivewed, it's retired. There isn't a way of getting that information to the consumer.
I guess it's to clear the confusion of, for example, what date would "04 07 2022" be, is that 4th of July or April 7th?

"M05 27 2022" seems to indicate that it's in fact MM DD YYYY not DD MM YYYY
I don't get how the traditional cuff method actually works. It's not clear to me how having the thing on your arm tells you what the pressure is inside your blood vessels. Isn't your arm made of things that can stress, therefore the pressure is not the same on either side of it? Same as how how do you measure the pressure inside a tyre or other pressure vessel? The point of the vessel is to make the pressure not the same as outside.

> Losing Starlink would be a setback to internet-everywhere

It's not as if they were the only provider. How I understood the system it's for them mainly about just directing the transmission to the next ground station. It's less about hopping via laser connection between thesatelites to the other side of the world. At least not in their general subscription plan. Maybe some hand picket client have this privilege. Dunno.
Since I can't tell you all their 150..200k users (don't know the number but in 11/2021 was 140k as of [1]) so I can't even guesstimate how big their drop would be. Some might still can fallback to other technologies or providers. Dunno the coverage of Starlink and others on oceans though.

I had an ikea induction hob with a similar UI, moved house and now I have a full size gas rangemaster with 5 rings.

I really miss the induction hob. Cleaning the rangemaster is a complete nightmare, it’s full of places where dirt can accumulate, there’s even holes down the back and gaps in the side where food falls down that are unrecoverable. The gas rings sometimes don’t light up and gas leaks out while you’re cooking and don’t realise, it’s much more dangerous for children and I’ve left it on without realising a few times now.

The buttons on the induction hob sucked, yes, but the user experience was so much better, literally wipe clean and done, safe and powerful. Maybe if I had a cleaner I’d prefer the rangemaster…

Does Popper’s Falsification Principle Itself Need to Be Falsifiable?
You're not wrong, but this is exactly the use case for a USB security stick. The key is in there, cannot be extracted in any way*, can only be "used" (not accessed or copied, just used for crypto operations) while the stick is plugged in, and without it it's impossible to proceed.

It kind of goes without saying that losing the key results in you getting locked out - if there was any other way there wouldn't really be much of a point to the complication of making yourself dependent on a stick.

As a backup, you either have some kind of spare keys in safe storage or reliable access to someone who can restore your access after having identified you.

* in some case you could generate the key beforehand on a computer, and then load it on a stick (unsure about yubikeys though). You should still revoke your key anyway once your stick is lost - as you should assume it could be found and used, sometimes needing only a touch operation rather than a PIN.
Since it’s coming up a lot, here [0] is a good resource on levelized energy costs (i.e. per kWh).

Energy costs are a tricky subject but in general new unsubsidized solar/wind is about the same cost or cheaper than operating existing nuclear (leaving out the issue that nuclear receives subsidies, which tilts things further in favor of renewables). And existing solar/wind operating costs are small, so their energy can be priced very low on day ahead and hour ahead markets, making it hard for fossil/nuclear to cover their operating costs.

But renewables are intermittent, and adding storage pushes the costs of renewable + storage above existing nuclear operating costs and most new build nuclear options. And storage isn’t lossless—I wouldn’t bet on those batteries holding charge affordably for more than a couple days.

We’ll probably muddle through with fossil + renewables for a while, which is the cheapest combo. When we get to the point of trying to take the last 20% of the fossil down is when we might regret not trying harder with nuclear, and in the meantime nukes will continue to struggle with selling energy at a competitive price. But hey, we’ve got another ten years until we phase out the last of the fossil (at the earliest) so maybe some storage cost declines will make it easier. Here’s hoping. Nukes are getting more expensive not less, so I don’t have much expectation they’ll be in the generation mix by the end of the century.

I'd like to see sources on that.

The only way I think a stablecoin can work without trust is to be backed by another coin which is deflationary and always in demand. Such as a gas coin that has no block rewards but burns some percent of the mining fees on every transaction. As long as the network is used for transactions, people will voluntarily pay gas fees and deflate the coin (unlike Safemoon which burns it on transfer, paying to secure transactions is a service and the miners can just raise their fees if they want to make more).

Then theoretically as long as there is demand for this coin, it will go up in price and therefore can back any sidechain coin that will grow slower in price (or better yet, gradually drop in price relatively to it like the dollar).

That’s what we are planning to do with Intercoin:
