Um, you are aware that CAES also has these inefficiencies. Adiabatic CAES does compression with the heat transferred to a store. The compressed air is a store of "low entropy". Pumped thermal energy storage stores that low entropy as cold rather than as compressed gas. But in both cases, energy is recovered by exploiting a compressed gas (preexisting in one case, manufactured by compression of a cooled gas in the other) heated and reexpanded. I don't understand why you're apparently ok with one and not the other.
I disagree. It's true that Casio developed its own digital synthesis approach as it couldn't do FM. But this was true of Kawai (additive, hybrid single cycle, then PCM), Ensoniq (hybrid single cycle), Roland (single cycle + PCM), Korg (PCM), PPG (wavetables) etc. They all "worked around" the patent but none of these methods were anything like FM. PD in particular was designed to simulate low pass and resonant filters on traditional waves in a clever and cheap way. This really was a far cry from FM. It was inverse waveshaping with a window. It IS true that Casio eventually gave up and moved towards FM in later models (VZ).
We see Leclerc wearing it as a watch on that very site.
This is just the beginning and will be fate of more countries that can't break the spell and return to focusing on the unique fundamentals of their national interests.
I'm curious what you think about my claim in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32046602 that sensible and latent heat storage are not practical for seasonal energy stores, but TCES might be.
Not what I said at all. There’s always comments agreeing with me and I never see an elaboration by the lichess hoards who dominate every thread involving it
I’ll take a look. Rendering varies from platform to platform. It’d be helpful if you could screenshot it and report the issue on GitHub.
Being able to work for many platforms means you choose your boss.
The priciest part I believe is the people taking care of the monkeys. I’d wager it’s easier to send them in unmarked crates.
I really like Yasser Seirawan's lectures on youtube. Its amazing how he can talk about a chess game and make it appear exciting.
You would either have different passwords for each or would need to change your password when switching.
What it looks like to cheat is more than just playing relatively accurate moves. Average move time, centipawn loss over multiple games, blunder/mistake frequency across multiple games, strengh of moves while in time trouble, etc. Cheaters tend to stand out when you look at a short history of games.

> How different is this from flipping a 16:9 display

It's 16:18, nearly square. Flipping a 16:9 is 9:16, tall and skinny. Not very similar at all.
Try this: look for pieces that are defended by a single piece, and see if you can force that other piece away. Look for undefended pieces and ways to attack and capture them by attacking/threatening something else - a classic are two undefended projects that one piece can attack (fork).

Also check for "mating nets" where you can get a checkmate or threaten a mate. Often that can force a sacrifice.

Lastly, look for pawn promotions - they can be tricky puzzles but also occur in real matches.

Good luck!

From one their talk the CTO hinted it was regular EBS.

But for many other database such as "Amazon DocumentDB" , "Time Series" humour suggest it's Dynamo.
oh, those two would be the minimum, you are welcome to add more. but only operating systems targeted at non-technical desktop users. so haiku maybe, but not BSD

and as a tech person, i would not care which linux distribution they choose. let the OEM pick one and use that as their differentiation point, if that's of any worth. ubuntu, fedora, suse, pop! os, whatever. it doesn't really matter, as long as there is an alternative to windows.
So film at 10 feet, if you want to film? Wider field of view with no loss of fidelity on modern cameras?

Perhaps '8 feet' is meant to keep a filmer out of potential harm, and from interfering with a police officer and suspect potentially struggling.
>through a process of moral cultivation, one can achieve Tao and obtain special powers and a level of divinity

If you read their books (e.g. https://falundafa.org/eng/eng/pdf/flg_en.pdf, just search for "David Copperfield"), they elaborate a bit more on the potential supernatural abilities that one can achieve through meditation.
Hasn't been rolled out in the US, although that's shifting as well. My employer (Tibber) have hundreds of thousands of paying customers in EU, and the bulk of the pitch is that we smart-schedule your EV and home heating to hit low prices, and sell ancillary services (eg. stop your charger for ~15s to help grid do frequency control).

While people may argue over who should get what slice of the pie, I think the situation in Europe has already answered that: you, the owner of the EV and charger or heat pump, get the pie.

I think Tibbers business model is good here: We charge a flat (~$5) monthly fee to smart-schedule your assets and buy electricity for you, and then you get ~100% of the profit from your demand-responsive asset. We also make some money if you spend less $$ on energy, since we settle daily with producers, but monthly with you, so lower cost of financing if you spend less.

The major blocker to more demand response, at least in EU, is the pace at which countries (looking at you Germany) roll out meters capable of hourly remote reading.
I'm not sure I could write an article riddled with more political/ideological slant if I tried.
I don't think artificial scarcity makes sense as a mental model here. A better way to make money is probably to just find some way where people need you. When you contribute your work to the commons through open source, it earns you a lot of love and admiration. However people don't need you. It's kind of the whole point. The biggest technological services in our society that are the most crucially needed, were all built on open source. Since the whole point of open source is to give you the power and opportunity to build things you can control yourself.

The people who build stuff with open source are very smart, so they usually don't need foss devs as consultants to explain to them how to do it. I make some of the most popular projects on this website. Been doing it for years. I get plenty of donations because my work makes people so happy. But no one has ever offered to pay me for something in return, since I don't have anything with any economic value, other than me myself. So I get plenty of job offers from people who would love to be able to say I'm their employee. Since controlling people is about as valuable as controlling the services people need.

It'd be nice if our cultural mythology about earning your keep doing an honest day's work through fair trade was how the system worked, rather than me needing to depend on the gift economy that's funded by control. But I think there was just so much abuse of the classic models of human cooperation that they just couldn't transition to the digital era, and as such we need to find a way to adapt.
It's hard to explain just how brutal and inhuman the lockdown experience was for those of us with kids. At least, those of us who refused to follow the "new normal" of allowing our kids' lives to be ever-increasingly ruled by phones and tablets.

The times I have spoken up in the past have not gone well for me (and almost entirely, it was speaking to people without kids who tell me that "lockdowns aren't so bad" after they've been out cycling all day). There were all of the obvious retorts, like "well, shows how much you don't care about KILLING EVERYONE", as well as ideas like "well, they're your kids, you look after them". That's a bit hard when you and everyone you know are under house arrest.

In fact, it was the experience of living through lockdowns with a 1 year old and a pregnant wife that so strongly coloured my opinions on the overall benefits of them - judging by their effects on the next generation, we have screwed up really badly.

I know several teachers, and they all say that the culture of learning has been disrupted, and those who teach in disadvantaged areas, say that kids will never recover. By "a culture of learning", I mean that it is generally accepted that all kid go to school and at least attempt to get some qualifications. We don't know what we've got till it's gone.
GS was offering a fairness opinion to the board, so they need to say, in essence, that "54.20 is a good price, because it is more than Twitter is worth by itself."

So they aim to provide a somewhat lower valuation.
I like to imagine it as a sort of volume vs surface area problem.

The amount of service you can deliver to costumers is your surface area, but the amount of work you put in only contributes to the volume.

As the number of employees grow you will necessarily be less efficient, but there aren’t really any other great ways to gain the required surface area.
Ima Hogg: The First Lady of Texas
They'd act like a solar sail. Putting them in L1 would not keep them positioned. It would be possible to design an orbital scheme that would keep them in place, but it wouldn't be simple. As other people have mentioned, this idea seems impractical and secondary effects haven't really been considered. Glad to hear someone's thinking creatively though.

Here's a simpler plan:
1) Crack down on the deliberate and aggressive misinformation pretending climate change isn't real. We allow this under the guise of free speech, but it's obvious it's being perpetrated to deliberately push a known falsehood. We know who's doing it, we know why. We know where the funding originates and where it goes. There's no ethical dilemma, no slippery slope. Just one lie that's killing the planet.
2) Shift all subsidies from carbon intensive energy to renewables and make it permanent. (This accelerates decarbonization and costs literally nothing).
3) Create a replacement for the Paris agreement but this time focused around collaboration, technology sharing, and a stack-ranked collaborative plan. (Develop and share technology around methane reduction, grid stabilization, electrification etc)

That's it. 3 step plan, net zero cost. Guaranteed to work. Won't ever happen if we don't address the public opinion campaign turning us against each other. But it is way easier than space bubbles.

The problem is not intractable. It's quite solvable. The one blocker is that we're working against ourselves. Let's stop working against ourselves and actually work together to save the livability of our planet.

The US will never be a leader in climate change reduction till we address tiny the minority that inexplicably wishes to profit from the destruction of the only place in the universe that is perfect for us. This is the literal garden of eden, we are willfully destroying it.

No plan can succeed if we don't address the cause of resistance to the plan. That's deliberate deception and manipulation of public opinion by a handful of billionaire oil barons.
There are some ways how you can solve this. You can convert to and from stablecoins. You can use hedging and use cfd or futures to keep your bitcoin on stable fiat value. Depending on what you need, this can be done on exchange, with some payment gateway or even trustlessly via smart contracts.
"All the order did was state Uber & Uber Eats must treat drivers going forward as employees and Uber in response pulled out of the market."

That they would choose not to do business there at all, rather than pay people what they were entitled, is very telling of an operation that's in the business of exploiting people.

I assure you, there is a "bigger, more general problem" that this legislation was introduced to prop up.

Isn't UT Austin an established state school? They have a lot of alumni in the valley.
Impressive because of the numbers. They don't care about July 4, just like they don't care about Canada day. They do care about taking up half the parade to make sure you notice them and are impressed by their numbers, though.

There is no other reason they constantly try to outdo and outnumber everyone in parades that have nothing to do with religions or cults. That's why I refer to it as hijacking. It's not about them, but they absolutely make sure they are the ones you remember.
No, you can critizise Uber and also think the old taxi industry is bad. They're not mutually exclusive and the world is not binary

Yes, it's the ratio.

Hm I took it under someone else so I’m not sure what it’s like these days. Sad that it has such a reputation.. I was able to ace the course and transfer into EECS my freshman year, so things probably have gotten much harder in the last ten years.
Counting cellular service costs, I've paid probably pretty close to the same amount. Not counting them, significantly more for the computer.
Would you mind linking to a source about the ACLUs changing relationship to free speech? I just looked at their website and it seems like they are still centering free speech as one of their major issues and a list of actions they have taken in recent years includes support of e.g. the NRA and an anti-muslim group.

Amazon's a real outlier there, presumably because it doesn't outsource services that make heavy use of low-skilled/low-paid workers. But is that necessarily a bad thing?
To what extent do Apple etc. rely on other companies doing "dirty work" for them to ensure only high skilled employees are on their payroll?

This is true in lots of cities in the US too. In Portland, our police were working with the taxi union, and kept creating phony Uber accounts, requesting rides, and then fining the drivers. Obviously those riders were getting horrendously negative reviews, so they got added to the "greyball" list where the phony users would log onto the app, and it would look like there were no cars available. They had the gall to complain that they were being targeted unfairly.

https://www.cnet.com/tech/tech-industry/uber-portland-greyba...

Fuck the taxi unions and especially the PPB for so many reasons.

In Las Vegas, where the corruption is much, much deeper, police, at behest of the taxi union, were just driving around and towing any car with an Uber or Lyft sticker. When the ride sharing companies finally broke through, they were still forced to only pick up at the farthest point in the parking lot of their airport, and at the back end of any casino, which could mean 10-15 minutes of walking in the 100F weather to get to the rideshare pickup spot. Vegas is the only place in the US where I'll still take a taxi, which I hate, but ride share there is so horrible that there isn't really much of an option.

I also got robbed in various ways about 50% of the time when taking a taxi in Miami, with taxi drivers driving circles, or threatening to drive off with my luggage if I didn't leave a tip that was several times the actual fare of the ride, etc. People who complain about ride sharing companies are obviously people who have had the privilege of never needing to ride in a taxi. Maybe they're okay in some places, but they've been terrible pretty much everywhere I've been. The reciprocal rating systems that ride share apps use is a godsend.
Between the minuscule face and the fact that winding A) is overly complex, and B) keeps time for less than two days, this seems like more of an expensive toy than a practical timepiece. As an engineering feat, it is admittedly impressive... but impressive and useful are not synonyms.
I don’t understand what someone gets out of winning chess games by cheating. It would actually make me feel worse about myself.
That’s the UK system. Almost all the press is owned by foreign billionaires.
Right. I didn't mean to focus on it being safer, but rather just the blanket statement "no it's not" that I was replying to. It doesn't really matter to me, we just need to get off fossil fuels now
Yeah, right-click drawing is not the most intuitive. I found it purely by accident.
I'm not sure that the uber competitors (taxis) followed the rules as much as some people seem to think. For instance, why is their card reader is always broken?

By that logic a literal shield is not a shield against swords and arrows, they are merely buffers of stronger material that protects you.

They come at the opportunity cost of being able to use the money to hire more soldiers or bribe your enemy.
Looking at the extreme implications of an argument can help nut out what somebody really thinks or what's really a good idea. Where do you draw the line? If social welfare is available, nobody's job matters?

People often make ridiculous arguments like the GP's without realizing that the same argument also leads to extreme conclusions, so it's probably not really an honest justification for their belief.
It depends on the context. Many of Amazon or Tesla's workforces do low-skill work, and each employee isn't bringing in all that much revenue. For software-only companies, this could indeed be an intersting metric aside from just margins.

The death of Epstein was reported based on the observable facts. Realistically, he probably killed himself and he probably never had any incriminating evidence on anyone to warrant a hit. The conspiracy theories are all 99% speculation. The fact that notable people travelled with him isn't proof of anything. We have some actual evidence against Prince Andrew and it's all gotten in the press. We have no proof on anyone or anything else beyond what was charged in court against him and Maxwell. Reporting anything else would be unethical and unprofessional.
You mean to say that the US government isn't spying on data held by large US companies?
I do agree about the risk and that cuts both ways, it's why EU and Russia and other countries are taking some precautions about the US companies and govt access to their citizens data.

On the other hand, TikTok is a result of the stagnant US-made social media platforms. TikTok did innovate and gained its market share fair and square.

As I said it multiple times before, I hope US takes the EU approach, that is, regulating the data access and not the Chinese approach of banning.

US is facing this issue for the first time and it is a touchy topic. But please consider the implications, what happens if each political block chooses the banning/blocking approach? Do you want to live in a world with each country having its own separate internet?

A lot of people are quick to rise the pitchforks and believe in the US superiority but ironically they demand government solution upon free market failure. I was genuinely scared about the future of the internet when the Trump admin tried to force acquisition by US tech giant or App Store ban over TikTok. What a relief when it failed.
It is poorly written. Not only it's void of insightful content, it tries to use an informal spoken style but fails to engage, completely. The images add nothing (how many memes on FF logo and Twitter-Giphy-like macros can you fit). Also random stats don't make a point, in itself.
I use them for downloading my Audible books. Then I decrypt them with ffmpeg:

No. This law has been written so as to be deliberately vague, and thus allow abuse.

There are precious few examples of people filming cops actually interfering. There are, however, a LOT of examples where video documentation of police misconduct led to departmental embarrassment, lawsuits, and even (though rarely) criminal charges.

The law exists to try to prevent THAT.
Reverse list would be also interesting, I'm sure most of the world including Chinese dunno kiwi fruit is from China.
Judges overwhelmingly side with police officers over defendants as a default stance. Adding laws restricting civilian rights and protecting police officers can only skew that stance further away from neutrality and towards the favor of police officers.
I happen to think there are likely practical reasons for the law as I've seen videos where filmers were certainly interfering with police work and endangering everybody.

That being said, I agree 100%. The police will abuse this badly with intent to discourage filming police interactions. Which I also agree should be filmed as much as possible.
My understanding is the earlier versions of postgres required more expensive patching to support their proprietary storage layer.
Some of the common hooks have since been upstreamed (whether aws gets any credit or if it was part of other work I couldn't say), but in theory aws doesn't have to do as much work to support new versions as they used to.

A much better example would be the Frei family, with both Eduardo Frei Montalva and his son, Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle, having served as presidents and several other members having different political positions. Frei Montalva, by the way, preceded Salvador Allende.
