The power consumption is the integral of the current your device takes for each voltage of the AC cycle. Different devices do all kinds of different things during that cycle, so it's not simple to communicate it in a number.

Your grid power consumption is probably measured in terms of current alone. That means that the number on your power bill is different from the amount of energy your devices dissipate as heat. That measurement is converted into power using the RMS trick, but there is no guarantee that it will exactly match the actual power consumption of your house.

Your UPSs has different limitations for real power, current, and peak current. And your house wiring (or better, any wiring) has limitations for (windowed) average current (with many different limits for different window sizes). Wiring also has a limitation for voltage, but it's usually high enough to not matter on normal usage.

As a rule, with AC, there are so many degrees of freedom that any question becomes hard to answer.

Bitcion is not a stable store of value, therefore it is useless as a currency. Something that can move 10-20% daily cannot be used in commerce, especially for goods on and services sold on at razor tight margins. And let's not even get into the amount of borrowed money that went into propping up Bitcoin, whose unwinding we've witnessed [and it's not over yet].

That doesn't have anything to do with USD. Any reserves (or really any asset) that is outside the country's jurisdiction can be seized by a foreign one. El Salvador could as easily lose all their Bitcoin reserves if they held them in a Coinbase wallet, for example.

It seems like my peers at other such companies are being modest, so I will speak up on their behalf.

Microsoft and Google have jointly funded the OpenSSF Alpha-Omega project to the tune of $5M. In turn Alpha-Omega has granted $300k for Node.js security[0] and $400k each to the Python Software Foundation and the Eclipse Foundation for security work[1]. Google are also forming an "Open Source Maintenance Crew"[2], a group of engineers dedicated solely to helping OSS projects improve security. Meanwhile Google, Microsoft, VMware, Intel, Ericsson and Amazon have contributed $30M ($10M from Amazon alone![5]) to the OpenSSF[3] towards a $150M plan to address OSS ecosystem security more broadly[4]. This will begin to bear substantial fruit over the next few years.

For Shopify, Ruby Central is close to our history and our heart; it makes both logical and moral sense for us to give back generously. But that by no means diminishes that many companies are starting to step up in a big way across the board. It is an exciting and promising time for open source security.

It all boils down to the fact that people need to feel useful. This is part of the society as a whole. During this meetings, look at who need attention, and praise their propositions.

On some rare cases it is a power move, in such cases either you can play the power game or you can't.

Regarding power games, the real fight happen before the meeting, so if you feel unprepared and you know someone in power is going to pressure you: don't go.
I'm sad, nobody still made replica replacements for instruments. I think this is very possible task, even not hard with current tech.
It's an awkward and elitist thing to say, but I believe it to be true: whatever is embraced by the masses, suffers in some ways.

The expert/nerd internet was pioneering, weird, edgy, cooperative. The internet for the masses is...different.

You'll see the same effect in movies, following "safe" formulas. Every movie must have a romantic side story, no matter how irrelevant. It must deliver to the broadest audience possible. And of course, nothing should be thought-provoking, keep it middle of the road.

Check out musical charts, songs are so repetitive that they seem AI generated.

I've found another recent example in F1 racing. It's a pretty technical sport that used to have a fairly limited following. Now the thing is exploding and there's friction between the "original" fans and the clueless idiots spoiling the well (not my words).

As soon as you have the masses on board, this obviously also invites a heavy commercialization of any space, with goals entirely opposite to the original spirit of the internet.

Concluding, the only way to get it back, is to be elitist. Create well defined spaces, heavily curated in both members and content.

The M series is a continuation of the A series development that's been going since 2008 when they bought PA Semi, maybe earlier. The M1 could have been branded the A14X but for whatever reason they chose not to, probably to make better marketing buzz. I would guess they've been booting macOS on ARM in the lab since the A7 and after that just a long grind to get to a good enough user experience with sufficient app compatibility to switch. You can see stuff like TSO in the CPU showed up in earlier chips at least a couple years before the M1 launched.

I think the "issue" is that CSS grid is already powerful and expressive enough so that you don't really need something like Bootstrap/Bulma to get in the way. They would simply rename stuff and be a useless middleman. I don't think even utility/functional CSS frameworks like Tailwind do much with CSS grid (not sure). It's that good.

I used to hit "save as HTML" in IE because I didn't know how favorites worked, and I was afraid of messing up my dad's computer. When I found out that the HTML files could be opened in Notepad, the curtain had been pulled back revealing the secret inner workings, and I was hooked.

My middle school computer club was basically a book group for raw HTML files. We started messing around to see what we could get it to do, but it was mostly feeling around in the dark. I didn't learn about documentation until getting into QBASIC a few years later.

Except in bitcoin, having a large share from the past doesn't directly confer control in the present, since it's not a proof of stake system.

If it's actually used as a currency, a person with a large stockpile will gradually lose their relative share over time as they consume, since you don't generate interest on it.

It's also confusing to me that people can hold the cognitive dissonance of defending a post gold standard, infinitely inflatable currency with a negative view income inequality, which only started increasing drastically after we abandoned the gold standard.

An inflationary currency benefits the wealthy asset owners more than the working class almost by design. Asset owners get to borrow against their assets and pay it back in a depreciating currency, while at the same time getting to use a psychological magic trick to make poorly educated employees think they're getting a pay raise, when in real terms they're getting a pay cut.

If I was a greedy rich person who wanted to make sure I could never lose my wealth, I would build a financial system on a currency that inflates away by design.
Gold's physical characteristics tended towards centralization. Centralizing gave the institutions controlling the gold strong incentives to allow debasement of gold-backed money, as it gave those institutions handsome profits and strong political control.

As people have pointed out this means that the US or wherever can print money and controls your monetary policy, but that's actually the least of the problems. Euros and US Dollars in large quantities, and digitally transferrable versions of them, can essentially only exist as numbers in databases controlled by the US and EU government respectively. So by adopting them as your country's currency, you're effectively giving them control over your money. They get to decide whether it continues to exist, whether you get to access it, whether it gets transferred to some well-connected megacorporations in those countries that bribed your former leader into a dodgy deal... In short, it gives a whole bunch of control to powerful entities who have tended to use their powers in ways that have not been good for developing countries at all.
Presumably people in the government got bribed. Did they also make their banking system crypto friendly?

I work on nuclear micro reactors (specifically this one: www.usnc.com/mmr) and there is big promise here to make many reactors soon and cheap. Their size of 15 MWe is too small to fully power human civilization which requires 20 TW of primary energy. For reactors with a 60 year life, that would require a population of 300,000 reactors sustained by a production cadence of 5000 reactors per year. That's actually comparable to the production rate of wide body aircraft. Even if such production rates are not acheived, these small reactors do not suffer xenon poisoning and can use thermal storage to produce dispatch power. It's like a zero carbon natural gas peaker, and can provide the needed backbone for intermittent renewables. The optimal mixes for many locations around the US are something like 10% dispatch nuke, and there rest wind and solar. It's one of the few energy solutions that looks a lot like a fossil fuel source, by virtue of it's high temperature heat, the fact it can be used on demand, can be located anywhere where it is needed, etc.

I have a really hard time understanding what lasting effect El Salvador hopes to accomplish.

> More than half its citizens rely exclusively on cash rather than credit or debit cards

That's not in itself a problem.

> Some 70 percent of households have no bank account

That's may be a problem, but is it something that Bitcoin itself can solve? For example, people who have no savings and survive hand-to-mouth really don't need a bank account. Maybe that's what the 70% statistic is telling us.

> and nearly 90 percent do not use mobile banking.

The experience of using bitcoin for most people is not unlike the experience of using a mobile banking app. What is it about Bitcoin in particular that makes it a better fit?

> A digital payment platform could be a way to make the economy more inclusive and accessible.

Possibly, but only if the reasons for lack of inclusivity and accessibility are understood, and Bitcoin is compatible with resolving them. If the reasons are social/political, Bitcoin is not going to help at all. Monetary policy is effectively set elsewhere, either Washington or the Internet through the Bitcoin protocol. Being the hardest form of money ever created, bitcoin is especially bad at funding public works projects like the kind El Salvador is going to need to elevate its standard of living.

Then there's the elephant in the room: money printing. El Salvador has no currency of its own. It uses the US dollar, and now Bitcoin. This means that the government has voluntarily foregone the ability to print the money to cover the debts incurred for domestic spending. Adding Bitcoin just doubles down on the status quo: no domestic currency and no possibility of money printing.
