These things can all be true and yet it is still a good idea to include some nuclear in our energy portfolio for diversification. In particular, my understanding is that economic storage of renewable energy has not yet been solved, so it might be nice to get some nuclear going in case that endeavor doesn’t pan out as optimistically as hoped.
It still pains me to think what a disappointment and missed opportunity Pokemon Go was imho. I don't get it why they ditched the signature Pokemon fighting system for something pretty arbitrary, and so many other strange decisions that only make sense if you know that they also built Ingress and probably approached Pokemon Go as another iteration of that instead of building on the - extremely well established - Pokemon games.
Discriminations harms extend well beyond those which are recognised legally. The law itself is very often a tool for further oppression, and should be considered on that basis.

There are two elements to that question: the legal and the moral.

Legally the premise is shaky as it's a short walk from "use a specific payment method" (a financial instrument, a device, a service, a company) to what are protected classes: age, race, national origin, religious beliefs, gender, disability, pregnancy, and veteran status in the United States.[1] As such, strictly as a business decision there's a considerable risk involved that such practices would be found to be de facto discimination against one or more protected classes.

(Keep in mind that there are religions which consider interest on money to be against their beliefs, which would then transfer to use of revolving credit instruments. I've no idea whether this has been tested in US courts.)

On a moral basis, even that which is not strictly illegal may be against principles of greater justice, and gatekeeping access to goods or services can easily work against those with limited means (unable to buy the latest mobile smartphone or desktop/laptop computer), unabile to maintain broadband comms access, owning a working but end-of-lifed device (for Android as little as 2--3 years, somewhat better for Apple), living in regions without high-speed broadband (most of the US), excluded from access to credit by low credit scores, or forced by circumstances to accept massive invasions of privacy or exposure to manipulation (propaganda, advertising, targeted manipulation) simply to participate minimally in the everyday business of life.

Note that remote-commerce can be a force for inclusion and against oppression. The Sears Roebuck Catalogue was the subject of recent commentary on that point, see for example:

"How Sears Catalog Fought White Supremacists" https://www.voanews.com/a/usa_all-about-america_how-sears-ca...

The major operative factor to me seems to be whether a technology constrains or expands opportunities. Reducing payment options quite clearly constrains them.

> Why? Because it was designed by… PMs working at a single mega corp: Microsoft.

Wow. When you put it that way...yeah, this explains absolutely everything about teams.

It bakes in so many assumptions about meeting flow as well. It's fine for ppt presentations but absolutely garbage for standups.
I also agree. People really underrate quality sleep.
The raids for me were just meeting a bunch of geeks who you may recognise from last time, but nothing more, and looking at your phone for 5 minutes. They really could have emphasised the social aspects a lot more, but I guess it's tricky when a lot of your customer base is kids...
> I won't starve, but it's weird noticing a lot of holes in the shelves.

That’s a completely different part of the supply chain issue, even if you can produce the goods you have to get it shipped which is yet another bottleneck.

Not enough warehouse workers to load the trucks, not enough drivers for the trucks, shipping costs are pretty high due to the fuel surcharge tacked onto each load and having to complete with other manufacturers who also want their goods sitting on the shelf.
Looks like they are shipping Windows exclusively. I wonder if that is because being a Microsoft Authorized Refurbisher comes with handcuffs, or if it's just coincidental. At any rate, I imagine most of these machines will go EOL when Windows 10 is retired, since 11 requires TPM 2.0. And they don't look at all very powerful, so they'll like be hogged down by the OS. Never mind privacy. I thought this would have been the perfect opportunity to spread some GNU/Linux love, even if just from a purely pragmatic standpoint.
Can you share your math? How much storage are you factoring in for renewables?
Funny story I'll pile on...

One of the first places we showed our product was at a support software conference in vegas where we were invited to share a booth with a few other startups as part of an innovation thing.

I had feeld (then called 3nder) running as a demo in the booth to showcase how our platform could create really cool mobile help experiences. One of the people I demo'd too went full fundamentalist Christian on me and asked why I would show him an application based on the devil's work, that it was sick and disgusting that I would be proud of 3nder's patronage of our services, and a bunch of other nonsense...

I wonder sometimes if that man was actually on the app and worried his profile would show up due to the proximity :)
We may occasionally write gallons per mile with a slash, but it is useful as a ratio, not an equation. It makes no sense to reduce a volume to a surface.

On the other hand, knowing if a factory puts out 240 gigawatt hours worth of battery capacity every year, or only over the entire lifetime of the factory, really is an important distinction to make.

I get wanting fewer regulations, really, I do. But just because YOU don't see the point to regulation a, b, c or d doesn't mean they're not necessary, just that you might not realise WHY they are necessary.
Root cause unknown but we know where people are meeting more and more. It's 1) online dating and 2) bars/clubs. Everything else individually is <10% of couples and keeps only getting smaller. Physical attractiveness is about all that matters in those venues. Your average man is not considered physically attractive to almost any women these days. So, is it a surprise that sex is going down when the only ways of meeting are relying on physical attraction are going up?
Ah, but you couldn’t play Pokémon on your mobile phone, (side-loading emulators on android nonwithstanding). I’d bet that was a sizable chunk of the appeal, especially since ingress did not have anywhere near the success.

That's like saying that by pointing my fan to blow onto the road, I can move the cars.

In theory and all else being equal, yes. In practice, cars have drivers that steer to stay on the road.

Similarly, other countries around the globe have their own central banks that regulate their local money supply to achieve their own goals.

You're, presumably intentionally, missing the point of what I and everyone who has responded to you is saying.

I am going to exit the conversation because it is clear that you're not interested in actually understanding what anyone is trying to explain to you about how people typically communicate with one another.

I'd like to remind you that this conversation was not about how "powerful" a given laptop is, but rather about how people talk about things in relation to one another and how people tend to speak to one another colloquially.

Have a great day.

Except wind and solar cannot be used to sustain base load energy demands. Until battery technology improves drastically the issue with solar and wind is the variability of output. One of the greatest challenges of operating a power grid is matching the supply of electricity with demand. Thats why they build gas and coal plants to meet peak energy demand periods. Nuclear energy supplemented by win and solar is by far the cleanest way to meet our energy needs currently.
That's just fraud not arbitrage. If you include illegal activities you could "arbitrage" almost anything
> Many of those will have generic error handling, logging, alerting, etc. based off the response code.

Yes, and then parse the appropriate response payload, in the context of the response code. Thats how eg. you get validation errors for a submitted form that just failed submission. If you're just assuming that everything !=200 is an error, it is your own assumption, not a framework shortcoming.
As an example, most of the complex API systems I've developed would actually ignore completely the response code (so, basically the opposite of what you assumed), because the responses need to have further context information in case of errors, such as application-specific error code, context-specific error messages (eg. form field errors) or just translation-aware detailed error messages.

On a vaguely related note, most people working with HTTP API implementations seems to forget that GET requests can in fact have a request body. Most high-level clients/libraries will assume you won't use it, but it doesn't mean you can't use it.

Dang. This too took me back. My dad was working at a place that was doing software for digital medical records.

Too bad the person didn't bury gold instead. Oh well.
That's because they haven't printed enough money.

If they printed enough money, they could generate all the inflation they wanted (or live in economic utopia.)

Basically, keep using newly printed money to buy up assets around the world. At some point you either own the globe, or you'll get the inflation you wanted.
I was complaining about inflation when I was making 26k and working more hours than was "legally allowed". I was also complaining about inflation when I was Lyft driver. I promise you other Lyft drivers were worried about inflation too.

> But if they answer no, it's easy to show that they're mistaken, and that in practice such labels are applied to statements regardless of their truth or falsity.

That seems like a potentially hazardous undertaking.
As you suggest, it's important to make a clear distinction between nominal and real variables in economics.

However, nominal variables are also subject to feedback loops.
That is so cool. I'm not really a retro-computing guy and am unlikely to ever run this code, but it does bring back memories of bringing home an old unsold box from work, sitting on the garage floor, writing a program in unfamiliar 8080 mnemonics, and getting two terminals to chat to one another. OTOH it might be fun to get something working on a Z80 SOC. Or something like this https://hackaday.com/2017/01/02/retrocomputing-for-4-with-a-...

Has anyone ever trans-compiled Z80 assembly to a microcontroller? Is that even a thing?
This project reminds me of Eagle[1], which is also a photo management tool for a specific purpose, designer in its case. The interface looks similar at least.

> That doesn't make any sense. "Legacy auto" knows how to make cars. To their final assembly factories there's not a huge difference between a BEV, PHEV, or an ICE drive train. So long as they feed in components they get cars out. They definitely know how to get components made to feed into their factories.

That's the problem. When they do it that way, they don't make a profit on BEV's. "Legacy auto" got good at building the supply chain network for parts. Then they pick and choose and assemble into a car. But everyone is taking a slice, and it's hard to optimize designs for efficiency between so many suppliers. Then they have their dealers to contend with.

What i'm saying is that "legacy auto" can certainly build and sell a BEV like they do with ICE. And it's not too hard for them to make that change, baring battery supply challenges. But they don't have the 30% gross margin that Tesla does. That margin will continue to grow and then turn into a weapon when Tesla needs to be competitive.
Lack of backspace and clipboard is the point. I don't think modern people should be able to write long good text without them.
Deal certainty is pretty much the key issue in public company acquisition agreements. The conditions are usually limited to things like receipt of required regulatory approvals (all but one of which has been obtained here), the shareholder vote in favor of the transaction (which will occur as soon as the SEC signs off on Twitter’s proxy filing, and which will receive the support of the vast majority of Twitter stockholders) or the absence of a “material adverse effect” (term of art) on the acquired business. Barring a material breach of the agreement by Twitter (of which there’s currently no public evidence), things have to go very, very wrong for a buyer to be able to walk.

And in any event, this won’t take a couple years to resolve. Delaware chancery court decides issues like these on very, very quick timeframes. That’s why so many corporations are formed there - it’s not a tax dodge or a way to hide ownership, like you sometimes see suggested in the media. It’s because there’s a robust body of corporate common law, well developed corporate statutes and an judiciary that’s world class in adjudicating commercial disputes.

Given Musk’s staggering bad faith at all stages of this transaction, it’s going to be interesting to see how that plays into the chancellor’s ruling (assuming it doesn’t settle beforehand, but if I’m Twitter, I’m taking my chances at trial unless and until there’s a ten-figure settlement on the table).
Excellent.

You can't help wondering if religious impulses are always there, and as "regular" religions die out, a secular one steps right up to take its place.
What the hell is dbt (data build tool)?
Win3.x had more prominent 3D bevels in places where it did have them - which was all the buttons.

I suspect that the main reason why it was generally flatter is because it supported monochrome displays. Win95, on the other hand, required VGA 640x480x16 (colors, not bits) as minimum. And of those 16 EGA colors, there were 4 different shades of grey! - a luxury they made full use of in the new 3D widgets.

Akin to being rich and being unaware most people can't just ask their parents for a new Mercedes. There's always some writing about a man or men but it's always about tall white men. This article is no different. It's just... cringey and completely unaware. I expect no different from a New Yorker article, tbh - as its entire employee base is this type of persona.

Zeihan points out that there is no NATO response for a tactical nuke detonation. If Ukraine receives an artillery strike with a low yield nuclear warhead it would immediately send NATO to its highest combat ready status but it will not sacrifice its major cities to protect a smaller non-EU country.

Not that simple. A nuclear attack against Ukraine would put the Budapest Memorandum into play. In such a situation there will be a huge debate about the meaning of "security assurances" as opposed to "security guarantees," but the longer the US permits such a debate to go on, the worse it will look.

Turning our backs on Ukraine under such circumstances would make the Bay of Pigs look downright honorable by comparison. There will be a lot of pressure to respond with force.
Well, with sufficiently advanced computers, your simulations can run as fast or your cyborgs think as fast as the plot demands.

Many video games are and always have been pushing limits. So you'd expect many them to barely run on their contemporary hardware.

(A notable exception is Tetris. Thanks to being invented by people on obsolete Soviet computers, no western computer ever had any trouble running it.)

The older I get the more superstition makes sense. I used to think older people were superstitious because they were more likely to have existential crises (since they were closer to death) but now that I'm middle aged I've realized that it's because human reason is surprisingly slow and the universe is surprisingly big and there's just too much to work through from first principles.

I restart processes instead of rebooting (using the needrestart/needrestart-session tools). I only reboot after Linux kernel image/module updates or microcode updates, because Debian cannot yet live-update those components.
