I don't disagree, but TCO savings will only offset the larger up-front costs after nearly a decade+ of ownership (and most families in the US keep their cars for less than 5 years).

The TCO for a used car is often even lower (even if the environmental cost is high), since you will pay a fraction of the cost of an EV, and some used cars can easily get over 30 mpg.
"Hard drugs" implies "bad", but the author appears to be complaining that code eventually gets too complicated and confusing to deal with, and that monads only help in the early stages and not forever. It seems to me that this is really about technical debt, but was given a different name and the author is brushing over that this isn't limited to monads even though they start by discussing pre-monad code?

If the author had written "Monads are a flavour of Pringles" (once you pop, you can't stop), it would have been marginally less bad an analogy.

It's just one data point though. The real juice comes when you have a hundred thousand traffic logs to compare, then you can start inferring similarities even from vague and incomplete data points.
Even after the dot com crash software was never a bad field it just felt that way because it was worse than it had been at the peak. There was still enough demand for most people to get actual jobs somewhere just not at the wages they like. Fields that suffer from this in academia have small percentages of people who study for it actually end up doing related work. Sometimes as low as 5% of the people. Software is nowhere close to 19 in 20 people working outside the field even during its worst crashes.
<<Now all of these children will be on that level, only with overworked parents who never wanted to homeschool in the first place.

I think this is the relevant quote. Homeschooling parents already self-selected as it were. It is a little bit like Linux. You get in knowing it will require some level of effort. People who choose Windows have no time to devote to that kind of learning. I would not feel comfortable mandating Linux for everyone. Some people are just not ready for responsibility.

I was not homeschooled, but my grammar school experience was borderline horrible and did not improve until private HS ( mostly because my peers were all, well, smarter than me ).

I think you have a point, but it goes back to the question about parents' responsibility and their failures as parents. I am not trying to make anyone feel bad, but we need to be able to qualify results somehow.
I wonder what attitude the Philippine children will have towards their elders once they move into the "infirm and needing care" phase of life, considering society run by these elders didn't gave two shits about their well-being and learning for two years, well in excess of even what other countries were doing (much less common sense).
It starts with "Writing code in {programming language X} can be 98% more efficient than {programming language Y}" and then calculates from that statement. Where can we find the source of the first statement?

It's veeeeery hit and miss as to if an FSX add-on will work with P3D. One reason is that FSX is 32-bit only whereas P3D is 64-bit as of v4 - they've changed a lot of stuff.
Very interesting, especially since SDNY had no idea about this and wasn't involved in coordinating this agreement

The longer Ross is in there, the more friends in high places he will have, as so many people become familiar with online marketplaces, bitcoin lore, education about the technology, the corruption of the investigators, trial judge, unsatisfactory testimony by “expert witness”, circular logic to undermine bill of rights protections for defendant, withheld evidence (that is not deemed exculpatory by the appeals court, but could have swayed a jury regardless) and seeing that this problem with Ross is still ongoing

So many cases have been dropped for waaaaay fewer procedural problems

To see this level of unorthordox coordination ongoing with the Federal Government and Ross, I am pretty confident other individuals will be able to use their employment and status in the public sector to alter Ross’ conditions in his favor
I love the idea of Calibre, but I just have no idea how to use it. Whenever I try, I get stuck in some kind of confused loop where I've added things to it, but all attempts to access them just loop back to Calibre. In other words, I can't get it to let me actually read anything.
Scrolling for an hour - sounds like you're trying to scrape the site to collect comments with usernames?

In that case, the page gets pretty large because there is actually a lot of content in the DOM. It's just not designed for your use case.

And, just to make that clear, it's a violation of the terms of services and of some national laws (including the GDPR) to collect user data, you may want to tread carefully.
Simple answer: that isn’t the way they prefer you doom scroll.

So, I use fiat to buy bitcoin, convert it to a stablecoin, go buy lunch, convert it back to bitcoin, then the merchant converts it back to fiat. Why jump through all those hoops to buy lunch? or anything for that matter. At this point i could just use gold.
As an "enthusiast" C64 user in the late 80's, I don't agree. That may have been the case some places, especially in the US where Commodore's sales were dire (not just for the C64). Clearly you're right that some people picked it because it was all they could afford.

But I could afford an Amiga, and had one, yet still used my C64 a lot of the time for coding, for demos and for games, and so did many of the people I went to school with at the time. While a lot of people couldn't afford alternatives, a lot of people also could afford them and either had those alternatives but still also used the C64, or could afford something else but had other priorities and saw the C64 price point as just low enough to make it worthwhile.

By the time I "retired" my C64 in the 90's, I had two heavily expanded Amiga's. First at that point my C64 saw little enough use to be put aside. From what I saw at the time, that was not unusual - a lot of both Amiga and PC users held on to a C64 for years to scratch itches their other computers did not.

When I went to the first The Gathering [1] in '92, while I took one of my Amiga's, there were still plenty of C64's there with people who spent more on peripherals than it would have cost them to buy an Amiga or PC, where it was a clear choice.

I just don't understand why LDAP software has to generally be so unnecessarily complicated. I'm not talking about the protocol or the domain knowledge, i'm talking about implementations.

I've played with OpenLDAP and 389ds.

OpenLDAP is dumb in the sense that its own configuration is stored in OpenLDAP itself, so you need to know openldap to start learning openldap. And its community is quite toxic (i've seen people in their irc channel mocking users asking questions and giving out replies like "it's not in the official docs but it's in the codebase, you should have read the source code").

389ds... is barely documented. The official documentation often points to the proprietary counterpart from RedHat, but it's not clear what the open version corresponds to which proprietary version.

This is really a niche that could use some disrupting imho...
As I said, this particular anecdote does seem extreme. I am just making the point that at a certain scale it gets harder to do out of band tasks if you don't scale up the staffing to match it.
Depends on what we see in the images. If we see space structures that are undeniable artificial, spanning tens of billions of light years in size, yes, that would be something that the president would announce.
I am definitely not saying that and I wasn't aware this is what the director said. Thanks for the correction.

Even with that however, I think we can all agree that art interpretation is a personal experience and nobody else can impose their interpretation on us. F.ex. Michael Bay claimed that his Transformers movies are an emotional journey while an overwhelming amount of movie-goers said they went there for the robots and explosions.

I respect the director's idea but it's absolutely not how I experienced the movie.
To add on to your mention of cultural aspects. It was the cultural shared experience amongst the citizenry that Adam Smith argued was why public education was so important.
It's a generalized problem that American corporations have worked hand-in-hand with the government to make sure that they avoid the vast preponderance of legal culpability for any and all malfeasance they cause. You almost have to hand it to them. Almost. As with all systemic issues we face, we can't fix it until we "fix" Citizens United, and that -- as well as any other Constitutional Amendment these days -- will be nigh impossible.

Do you expect to "catch up" to where you would be without the pandemic? I'm not getting my parents back, my city isn't bringing public transit back, there is no world where the pandemic didn't happen. These are its effects, the kids are going to have them too.

Clojure Sound 3 – Hello MIDI Controller
A lot to unpack here but I've seen homeschooling work wonderfully and completely fail -- within the same household.

Homeschooling is not for every family, perhaps not for most families. Parents may not have the luxury of time. Teaching is a profession that requires a level of expertise in subject matter and the art of education itself that parents may not have. Kids have differing levels of intrensic motivation for learning school subjects. Some children do much better with other authority figures than their parents for some activities. Not to mention children with learning challenges that most parents are ill equipped to respond to adequetely. Not to mention the value of interacting with different people and viewpoints. And on and on.

I'm glad your familiy has found success. I've seen it work and work amazingly for some. But I've also seen it fail badly.

Schools, especially public schools, have their problems, no doubt, but if I had to place bets on which society would end up in a better place in two generations, one where everyone is homeschooled vs one where everyone goes to public school, it's no contest. Teaching done by professionals is going to win hands down.
It's highly unlikely that most consumers will get 250,000km (150k miles) out of a vehicle. The median ownership of a vehicle is under 5 years, and the median miles per year for a non-commercial vehicle is 12,000.

Plus, you'll have to also pay the interest on that loan, and good credit is a must to avoid being stabbed in the back with interest rates with car lenders.

EDIT: This does mean that a used car market for EVs is quite viable though.
You don't even need to expect: that is exactly, spot-on what happened.

They are incredibly different headlines.

The former reinforces preconceived notions that all crypto organizations are criminal and blatantly violate the law.

The latter presents a nuanced situation of the difficulties of complying with international sanctions as an internet company.

It's naive to think that headlines aren't explicitly designed to not only be clickbait, but also to incept and reinforce false ideas in the minds of the vast majority who won't read the story in detail. Even if it is our individual responsibility to read the story before forming opinions, that's not the reality.
Is it really meaningless? Despite how fuzzy the exact boundaries might be defined, I think it would be pretty safe to assume weed would be in the 'soft' category, and crack in the 'hard' category.
should be easy to provide a source then. Certainly many children are asymptomatic.

But I'm not sure why the direction of spread would be one way though, that's highly unusual.

Academia just isn't WORTH it for talented peasants (speaking as one).

I had people encouraging me to go into academia since I was 4-5 years old, had a desire to go be a professor, etc. But things have changed a lot since I was a child 30 years ago. Now, if I were to go into academia without family or other connections, I'm looking at:

- Unstable employment and a serious amount of overwork. At the end of this I may get a chance at some stability, but given how academia is moving away from the tenure-track, that's less and less likely.

- Restrictions on what I can say and what kind of work I can do based on academic politics, what grants will fund, etc.

- Very little reputational benefit to affiliating myself with an institution: speaking as an American, our institutions are collapsing. Why would I tie myself to a sinking ship? Those who are already in the upper-middle or upper class are all in on maintaining the status quo because it works for them and because they have a safety net if things go south. It's similar to how, no matter what your interpretation of Jan. 6, 2021, I bet there's some reconsidering of people's desires to be staff in Congress. ("I'm not getting shot for Pelosi/McConnell, fuck that noise.")

On the other hand, if I DON'T go into academia, I can still access research and I can say whatever I want. I can also work on my own schedule and only do work that I think has some value (as opposed to chasing after publications and massaging my work to beef up my CV).

Anyone from a poorer background who has the skills to make it in academia also has the skills to recognize that it is a TERRIBLE deal for them at the moment and that they have better options.

Granted, this is also true of higher socio-economic classes, and that's one reason the people from elite backgrounds in academia are also trending towards the more and more mediocre.
I'm of two minds here. I agree with you but hopefully having Biden involved in the briefing will draw more attention to what I think it one of the coolest large science and engineering projects in decades (just my opinion).

"Destroying the whole herd."

The alarmism on here is absurd. The "herd" isn't being destroyed. School standards have been sinking for decades, grade inflation is crazy, but no, this is the moment the herd is being destroyed. Now all of a sudden people care about education.

The reality is it's a political narrative. The herd will be fine. The herd has gone through way worse things than this.
Even more bizarre is that 15-25 spots are mostly different hues of orange. A bit improbable to have that many land so close.
A more specific example: I moved my children from a (remote-only) public school to a (face-to-face) private school during the pandemic. Now they are back in the (face-to-face) public school, but their peers are far behind them scholastically and need to... catch up.
A compressed piston would allow energy recovery even after allowing the entire heat generated by the compression to dissipate down to ambient levels. The pressure gets slightly lower from the distillation, but it remains considerably above ambient. The fraction of the work that went into the pressure delta post-dissipation can be recovered 1:1 and then you'd still have a temperature delta left to hypothetically salvage, in part, using some carnot approximation. Your purely thermal approach would certainly try to salvage the work that went towards pressure right in the heat pump (decompressing through a piston or turbine mechanically connected to its counterpart on the compression side), but all recovery would still be constrained by carnot, which isn't the case for the "pressure part" of the work if you store that instead of immediately reusing it to gain more temperature delta. Thermal storage is the right tool for the job when all you have to begin with its a temperature gradient (e.g. in a mirror collector spat plant) and you want to time-shift conversion to electricity, or when you have a thermal use case and you want to time-shift electricity use from thermal utilization, but not for round trip electricity/electricity. Some quick googling yields a presentation comparing A-CAES and PTES by Xue Haobai at 2019 Offshore Energy and Storage Summit that puts the low end of round trip efficiencies of A-CAES to where the best of the best in PTES/Carnot batteries would max out.

I can't tell you exactly where your model goes wrong, but I really believe that you must be missing something.
I feel headlines in papers were a bit more "legitimate" but now in the era of click-bait they're as sensational as they can be whilst not being technically incorrect.

I live in NYS. A blizzard that's bad enough that it strands cars here for any length of time is incredibly rare—because we have the infrastructure to deal with snow.

I would be willing to bet the DC area actually has that happen more often than anywhere else in the US, because it's among the post populated places far enough north that it gets big blizzards from time to time, but far enough south that its snow-removal (and snow-prevention—eg, salting the roads) infrastructure is fairly minimal compared to places that get lots of snow all the time.

The article mentions 7 people they directly interviewed, another 11 that claim to have done it publicly but didn't respond to their questions, and says:

> The exchange's popularity in Iran was known inside the company. Senior employees knew of, and joked about, the exchange's growing ranks of Iranian users, according to 10 messages they sent to one another in 2019 and 2020 that are reported here for the first time. "IRAN BOYS," one of them wrote in response to data showing the popularity of Binance on Instagram in Iran.

The implication of the article is not that 7 people did it. It's that the platform is widely popular in Iran.

Here's to hoping :D
Personally, one of the major things that lead me to start investigating Graphene and other alternatives was the on-device scanning. Fortunately, it seems Apple has backed away from this position (at least for now), and unfortunately we live in a world where if you need a mobile device there's a dichotomy. Given that, I think sticking to Apple is still the best choice for me right now, and aligns most strongly with my threat model.

I travel internationally a lot (or did before the pandemic) and my primary concern is when crossing borders. I always power off my devices to prevent warm-boot attacks, and take other precautions, this lockdown mode would be a big win in this case. Even with the other protections Graphene offers over regular AOSP, I am concerned that Android doesn't really provide meaningful ways to prevent attacks where the adversary has physical access.
In the long run we can look forward to more exotic technologies like grid scale battery stations and small nuclear reactors. But in the short run the objective should be to use renewables when possible and fossil fuel only when necessary.

Power companies don't need to tear down oil and gas generators right away, they just need to scale back their use as they rely more on renewables. You mention two mitigations, expanding the geographic region and overprovisioning. Both of these raise the cost of transition, but not prohibitively.
