So, I know this is anecdotal, but I've seen a number of my friends (mostly male engineers) have kids later in life (35+), and a higher-than-I-would-expect number of those kids have developmental problems. Some act out more violently than you'd expect from a little kid, some just have ADHD-seeming issues, and some are just not progressing at the "expected" rate.

Is this a real thing? Anyone else notice it? I'm not even sure how to google it.
How does the intermittent nature of solar/wind work for the usages described in this thread (ie. heating, hot water, cooking)? Heating need is anti-correlated with renewables, because it's used at night. I suspect the same applies to hot water (spike of showers in the morning/night), although it's less of an issue because you can save up hot water. Cooking is concentrated around certain time periods (ie. breakfast/lunch/dinner), so that's also a bad fit for renewables.
> there should be a heavy wealth tax that makes it hard to become a billionaire

Why does everyone want to tax the billionaires? What are you going to get out of it? Do you think taxing the billionaires is actually going to help the poor people?

If so, riddle me this: Name one efficiently-run government organization.
Having a billion dollars is a side effect of our current system. Much more useful to focus on system level incentive than to focus on a small minority at the top.

If there's people with budgets for yacht, then there are a much larger group of people with budgets for fancy houses.

And an even larger group of people whose incentive is to see the price of their homes rise, contrary to the societal goal or providing affordable homes for everyone.

If you implement a nationwide land value tax, I believe the wealth disparity will start to disappears and there may be less billionaires, but everyone will benefit.

This is less than inflation. (Curious to see a source spinning it as a result of tax revenues. Even for the Kremlin, that's an idiotic argument.) It's also about the amount Russia's economy is expected to shrink this year.

well I mean there is quite a lot of differences between what the answer to 'what is a hashmap?' can be - is it acceptable to say a hashmap is a bunch of key value pairs where the key is an identifier by which you can look up the value you want - or should it be more in depth - akin to the wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table describing not just what it is but also its place in CS and how it is implemented? If the second it's probable the memorized description would be accurate.

Sure, and Louis Pasteur was initially a crank for claiming that invisible micro-organisms were causing infection and disease. Absence of perception does not rationally conclude something is therefore absent.

> I need a reason to change mine from the default option.

The default option is faith/belief. You don't have "strong evidence" each day that the sky will be the same color, the sun will come up, your dining room chair will still hold your weight, your best friend still loves and cares for you, and that your car will likely start.

A large majority of your life behavior cruises along quite happily on faith/belief. Or do you start every day re-checking all the proofs of the physical world before you can do anything?

I think the initial reluctance was because they didn't want Russia to capture a whole bunch of intact, powerful, advanced weapon systems if Ukraine capitulated fast, plus not being sure how Russia would react to extensive Western involvement. Both don't seem to be problems, now, but they easily could have been.

Add social expenses -- what it takes to fit into a society or community.

Add a buffer for risk and uncertainty about the future.

And then consider what role location has on the whole package. If you want proximity to one of the global hubs / power centers, then you're looking at doing this all in a top-tier cost market.

Then you easily push into tens of millions. Breaking a hundred million to super thoroughly check those boxes isn't a stretch.

This is before considering an agenda / passion that you want to see changed in the world. And before any ambitious desires from family members and close friends.

One or two cores for crypto would likely be susceptible to the same attacks, unless you don't let any user (or kernel) programs run crypto on those cores, making them useless.

Any resource that needs scheduled will likely be attackable - either by timing on context switches, or flooding the resource with users and measuring things, and so on. Likely any scheduling method for those resources can leak information.

> 5. You like gas stations. Teslas mostly charge up at home and Supercharge on the road. You don't actually need gas stations.

> 7. You value your time and enjoy traveling. Road trips take longer as supercharging takes a lot longer than fueling up. You are also tied to select routes that offer charging, and run a non-zero chance of getting stranded.

These two seem contradictory. It's very telling how Tesla marketing only talks about superchargers in terms like "add 200 miles in just 15 minutes" because it's bad for the battery if use them too often or charge over 80%. I can "add 450 miles" to my Prius in "just 2 minutes" and don't have to worry about hurting it in the process :p

First, not everyone, Ukrainians knew. Second, after the end of WW2 we lived (wanted to live) under a spell that conquering whole countries with some opportunistic genocide on top is not going to happen anymore, or at least not in the "civilized" Europe. Now, I hope the spell is off, we can see the world more clearly, and it's a raw power competition in which Putin thinks he has the winning cards or can at least out bluff everyone.

MLS doesn't yet have a good farm system like in Europe or other leagues here in the U.S. like MLB. Seems to be why you get a lot of older talent coming from elsewhere.
A larger, more detailed introduction to this topic is best discussed by Hadley Wickham in his seminal paper "A Layered Grammar of Graphics".

https://byrneslab.net/classes/biol607/readings/wickham_layer...

Wickham is the Chief Scientist at RStudio and created R packages such as ggplot2 and the tidyverse.
“This partnership is a historic first for a major professional sports league, and will allow fans around the world to watch all MLS, Leagues Cup,1 and select MLS NEXT Pro and MLS NEXT matches in one place — without any local broadcast blackouts or the need for a traditional pay TV bundle.”

The “around the world” part is huge for the MLS (and to a lesser extent for Apple). I’m in Europe and I’ve never watched an MLS game. But it looks like it’ll be the first and only football league that I’ll be able to watch in a civilized way so I’ll definitely give it a try.
The problem isn't the 91% to the 99% in my opinion. In the United States, the 99th percentile for income is ~$300,000, which is a ton of money in a low cost of living (rural) area and a decent amount of money in a high cost of living (urban) area.

But these are not the "capitalist class". They don't own significant portions of a company unless they started a small business (a lawyer or doctor running their own practice). They also generally had to go through an enormous burden to get there. A doctor for example might be nearly 40 years old with $500,000+ in debt before they're making $300k, and many doctors will never make that much, period.

The funny part of "limiting income" is that it only affects the working rich, not the capitalist class. Steve Job's salary was $1 and many CEO's famously have basically no salary and compensation in stock.

So what do you do? Tax their stock sales? We do and should do more. Force them to sell their stock for the benefit of the taxpayer? Ban them from even owning large amounts of the company? Have the government automatically own part of the company? All of these sound yikes to me.
The core part of the problem is "you revoke his access". It's simple. You revoke someone's access, it is akin to firing, and it is illegal.

Send people home with their severence after the necessary period to inform the employee that they're getting fired, sure. But telling them out of the blue "Fuck off, don't come to work today, your access is revoked" is a breach of contract and is illegal.

So, no, you cannot be a paid laid off employee with no access. You're either employee, paid a salary and with access, or not an employee with your severance package and no access. There is no inbetween, and your lack of reading comprehension doesn't mean i misunderstood.

Firebase certainly could do the job / works for fast development if you put the time in to learn firebase.

IMO Firebase's advantage is speed of development with hosting options (not required), auth, security, and all sorts of handy dandy things that speed up the process / allow you to add features.

The real catch is what you mean by "minimal code" the time you have / how fast you'll come up to speed with firebase. It's not hard but also depends on how comfortable you are with firebase / learning something new. Just make sure you do some reading about the firebase way of doing things and so on. The biggest issue I find with trying something new is diving in and realizing I wasn't doing it the "<insert framework>" way of doing things.

Space in the 2020's - Richard Campbell - NDC Oslo 2021

Are the 2020s the decade where regular people get to go into space? Join Richard Campbell as he assembles all the current developments in space flight to look at what the next few years could offer to a regular person on a once-in-a-lifetime trip. Will there be space hotel in orbit around the Earth? What about a resort on the Moon? Could we go further than that? And, most importantly… how much will it cost? The potential is huge, and the impact on mankind is hard to even imagine - maybe science fiction is coming true?
The ability of getting everything one wants just because one can is not a good thing, in my view.

Also, how is this relevant to the point above? One point is it's too expensive - so even if he wants it he might not be able to get it in the current reality. The counterpoint is that you can charge your car with a slower charger.

Washington State tried to do this with reusable tenant screening reports but when the state landlord association heard about requiring them to actually be "reusable" (as in, landlords have to accept the report), they screamed so loudly that the requirement got yanked.

I think a lot of people think that men are naturally aggressive and can't get over. I suggest this isn't necessarily true. Furthermore, I think countries that have exceptionally low violence from males (like Scandinavian and (some) European countries) point out what -can be- and that this violence that we see in America and a lot of 3rd worlds countries is more societal and learned than innate. Aka nature affects it more than nurture. Given that just accepting this poisoning of male potency "as a good thing" is a really dumb move. Lowering what are basic biological functions and quantities of sperm and testosterone can not be a “good thing” as your post seems to imply.
I have the rock, it is now worth 1 billion dollars. I take out a 50 million dollar loan from the rock and put it into the stock market, which lets say has 2% average real returns over interest (probably low if i have 1 billion in collateral).

I pass the rock on to my children and die 20 years later. The 50 million is now worth 74 million.

Both the rock and 74 million are stepped up to their current value when I pass it on to my children. The children repay the loan with their 50 million and now have 24 million and the 1 billion dollar rock still, tax free.

How is that not tax avoidance?

Other countries can provide fuel. Multiple countries have already signed contracts with American and French companies to manufacture fuel for their(Soviet designed) reactors. It's already happening.

No, the situation in Ukraine is so much more nuanced. There's a lot of history there and Ukraine is't an innocent bystander in this situation. It's fair to say Russia has been provoked in many ways and although I'm not sure an invasion is justified, it isn't all together unexpected based on how they've been treated regarding this over the last 10 years or so.

The breakdown in diplomacy with Russia is the worst part. The previous administration at least had diplomacy. The current one just pushed them into this.

Historically it was much, much worse. The only way you can make an argument for saying inequality is greater now (when global poverty/subsistence farming is at the lowest % since human settlement 12000 years ago) is to point to the sheer amount of wealth we generate compared to any other period and nit pick about it's allocation. That's fine, but if you want to go back to farming for your life, like most humans for most of history, you'll probably find it a worse life than being in a developed country middle class, even if "your wealth is technically more equal to a king than a middle class to a ceo"
