+1 take @ctvo's advice. Right now you have incomplete picture of the companies environment may be head and your boss are best buddies or may be company trusts your boss to get the work done and doesn't wants to get involved in nittty-gritty of how he gets it done so by bringing this up would just end up in harming your position in the company.
Typically, you can install linux if you can get a new firmware - this depends on the device in question [1]. I've done this on a couple of ChromeOS devices in the past and installed GalliumOS [2]. You may be able to install other OSes, but I found GalliumOS worked well on the C720p I installed it on, and actually used it for about a year on one where I'd upgraded the storage to something larger. You can't get away from it being a slightly cheap machine, but it's great to have something which you're not going to mind if it gets lost or broken.

20.6 MT copper/year vs 64 MT aluminium/year, even using both that's still equivalent to about 17 years of current global production (which is a big but not impossible change over the timescales desired), but the price is still painful.

There is no "you" nor "self". Western indoctrination made us believe free will exists.

I am convinced that this is a marketing strategy to make people thinks that They (Google) have some undisclosed, unmatchable technology.

Comparing rolling to the Fosbury flop is basically a perfect analogy, bravo.
Given apple is that true … not x vs y easily. But say like macOS and linux on arm and intel.
Isn't that only specified (for the same filesystem, as mentioned) for Linux? As far as I can tell the only thing POSIX specifies came from ISO C:

https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/r...

ISO C 9899:2018 (actually the 2017 draft) says in 7.21.4.2.3 that on a failure return the file is available by its original name, but that's a much weaker guarantee as that doesn't say anything about failing to return (e.g. hard system crash)…

> by definition it's a tech company

Using technology to enable the business doesn't make the company a tech company. By that definition every company on earth is a tech company.
But GeoPackage, which the question referred to, does not support spatial functions in and of itself. But I also wrote that you can use e.g. SpatiaLite to apply spatial functions to geometries stored in GeoPackage. But then this is not really different from using any other application like QGIS or gdal.
"secure boot must be disabled" is the equivalent of "in case of permissions error, just chmod 777". secure boot literally protects the user first, and is configurable with user provided keys on the vast vast majority of open platform computers (i.e. amd64)

"prevent injection of a driver that can divert all my shit at the kernel level" is exactly what you want secure boot protecting you from. there is no limitation of user rights because the user can turn it off and/or load their own keys at will.

secure boot fear mongering is bullshit nonsense
Good luck detecting that
BTW the author is the founder of a company called Terraform Industries. (Their for a commercial business strangely looking homepage: https://terraformindustries.com/.) This is funny because there is also a company called Terraform Power in the renewable business. The names of these two companies seem surprisingly close to me. Are these two somehow connected? Is this just ignorance on part of the author?

On their Twitter profile they talk about "Gigascale atmospheric hydrocarbon synthesis". Which is an interesting wording for a company that doesn't even have a proper homepage.
every country should manufacture its own entire telco stack - clearly anything foreign made is a higher security risk than one that is domestically made. Imagine an adversary being able to remotely trigger a nuclear war by issuing commands to a router
Below is one for PDF. Compile the 052.l file with something like

flex -8iCrf $1;
cc -O3 -std=c89 -W -Wall -pedantic -I$HOME -pipe lex.yy.c -static -o yy${x%.l};
strip -s yy${x%.l};
test -d yy||mkdir yy;
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/yy;
exec mv yy${x%.l} yy;

"yy045" is a small program to remove chunked transfer encoding.

These programs are to be used in pipelines, something like

echo https://www.bezem.de/pdf/ReservedWordsInC.pdf|yy025|nc -vv h1b 80|yy052 >1.pdf

"h1b" is a HOSTS file entry for a localhost TLS-enabled forward proxy

"yy025" is a small program that generates HTTP.

Interestingly I think curl was modified in recent years to detect binary data on stdin. I just tested the following and it extracted the PDF automatically.

curl https://www.bezem.de/pdf/ReservedWordsInC.pdf > 1.pdf

However, one thing that curl does _not_ do is HTTP/1.1 pipelining. I use pipelining on a daily basis. That is where these programs become useful for me.

cat > 052.l

/* PDF file carver */
/* PDFs can contain newlines */
/* yy045 removes them so dont use yy045 */

As long as you trust the owner, administrator and developer of the database. I wouldn't.
Cutting and pasting with scissors and actual paste sounds pretty awful. But what I was hoping to get more insight about, if the task was to draw tens of thousands of pages of flowcharts (not text), would a 1980's PC (maybe 16mb RAM, 5.25" floppies, no GUI) be more efficient than a pen and paper? Even on a modern PC, I can often draw a flowchart quite a bit faster than I can create it in Lucidcharts or similar software.
I think solar panels are a bit more efficient at converting sunlight > electricity than the chemical process of sunlight > photosynthesis > decomposition > burning fossil fuel. Take the ICE that only coverts something like 20% of fuel into motion, the rest is lost to heat. The electric motor is far more efficient.

You'd need to update your reasoning to take into account all the efficiencies lost in the fossil fuel creation and consumption in order to generate electricity.

If you've never looked closely at the details of this attack, or only saw some of the infamous photos, this twitter thread might not give you the full magnitude of what occurred. It makes it seem like maybe a few dozen people were killed. The number of deaths from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%E1%BB%B9_Lai_massacre:

"347 according to the United States Army (not including Mỹ Khe killings), however others estimate that more than 500 people were killed and the number of people who were wounded is unknown; the Vietnamese government lists 504 killed in total from both Mỹ Lai and Mỹ Khe"
MACs are supposed to be globally unique, but they only really need to be broadcast domain unique, so you can get away with using the same MAC for a lot of devices as long as most people don't use two on one LAN.
yes, this is the integrationist strategy. However this would require trade rather than conflict, so not an option
Exactly, so why would you place devices made by your adversaries all over the place, where they can disrupt your comms?

Yes, it's called postnup. You do a prenup and after marriage do a postnup. This pretty much binds contract in stone since partner accepted the terms even after the marriage contract was in motion.

All in all marriage seems like a lot of contracts for no good benefit.
The cash situation changed rapidly since 2019, you can get very far without any if you desire.
I don't buy the political argument. If it made financial sense you could just build it and take all your profits to lobby the politicians but obviously the economics are not very profitable yet.

Edit: How did Tesla succeed is GM and the oil companies were supposedly going to use politics to keep the electric car from succeeding?

Go back to school. Grad school, community college, language course or anything. You’ll have a higher chance of meeting people with similar interests.

> Even if the scenario you're proposing existed (the acceptance rate at these state schools is well over 50%), affirmative action still wouldn't affect white people. Whites, for example, are admitted to Harvard at around the same rate that they are to the University of Washington Tacoma [1] [2] or to SUNY Stony Brook [3].

You've cherrypicked examples. Look at UNC Chapel Hill or Georgia Tech or Duke or Tulane or Emory (granted not all are State schools). These schools have acceptance rates of less than 25%, and some lower than 10% and, and relatively small Asian populations, with white populations as high as 65% and in some cases more Black than Asian students. You're claiming that none of them engage in race-aware, holistic admissions processes, despite contrary statements on all of their undergraduate admissions websites?

> In fact, in some state schools in the deep South, whites make up over 60% of admitted students, despite affirmative action being allowed there. That is by definition, unaffected by affirmative action.

Wait what? Are you claiming that being overrepresented compared to the baseline population is evidence that a group is unaffected by affirmative action? If so than Asian students, who are overrepresented compared to population percentages at every school you've mentioned, are unaffected by affirmative action.

> The fact that you believe you know what's "good for society"

I'm confused, are you saying I should support policies I think are bad for society, or are you saying that it is white supremacy for me to have opinions that differ from yours?
That's probably because "real" quantum computing today can't even factor 4-bit numbers.

The coherent-bits are really not scaling fast enough (and this is to be expected given their entanglement IMO) for anyone to really care other than snazzy startups scamming investors of their money.
Well, ok, but that means there's still _less_ friction with those particles because they don't interact electrically, right? So I still would expect the same result of the 4 blobs in different positions in space.

What's wrong with that view?
The military covered the whole thing up even with this guy kicking up a righteous fuss. And his friends and he were treated as pariahs.

Makes you wonder what happened when there was no one like this guy around. Reckon there's a bunch of villages there with no one left to tell the tale.

I suppose no one there ever asked "Are we the baddies?"

Pretty amazing from the people of that nation, though, to beat three world powers in the matter of a couple decades: France, the US, China. Takes quite something to do that when your enemies will do things like this. With the gloves off it's not clear that the powers can beat locals - as Russia is finding out.
So an open source kdb+ designed to be easier to learn than Q/k? neat.

Would be interesting to see benchmarks against some of the newer columnar SQL databases, (ClickHouse, DuckDB, QuestDB)

especially considering the mistique arround kdb+'s performance.
You have to teach me how to sort my notes in a list by last modified order.
>. The machine shop at my university was free.

Paid for by tax payers is not free.

I agree that there should be government investment in hacker spaces since they are just machine shops that aren't stuck in 1950. The name however was stupid and killed any take up by government. Maker spaces were a slightly better rebranding which at least didn't actively push sponsors away.

>If boutique makerspaces work, then ask yourself why this place failed.

Because at $100 a month it wasn't boutique. If you want the top end you do what universities do: charge $2k a month and give scholarships to the worth while members who can't afford that.
Welltris was great and I loved the music. I think it had more variety than classic Tetris did.
I like superconductors, and I certainly hope they'll become viable, but "hundreds of miles" is a factor of at least 120 short of what's needed, and land for a GW of PV isn't that expensive even in western Europe, especially as PV can be present in pastureland at the same time as the animals.
Not disagreeing with you that LLMs are probably not sentient, but that is neither here nor there since lamda is more than a simple llm. There are significant differences between GPT3 and LaMDA. We gotta stop making these false equivalences. LaMDA is fundamentally more dynamic in the ways it interacts with the world: it constructs its own queries to ground truth sources to check it’s facts and then updates weights based on that (among many other differences). While it does incorporate LLMs it seems like people are in denial about the complexity and data access that lamda has relative to GPT3. In google’s own paper about lamda they demonstrated how it sometimes showed a rudimentary theory of mind by being able to reason about other’s perceptions.
Sure. Why not? Make a cogent argument for the idea.

I’ll disagree, of course, but in the exceedingly unlikely event that you present a strong argument, it’s still an opportunity to hone my own counter-argument.
25y life expectancy is a lie. I've seen it with my own panels which were installed by the former owner. Nobody checks if these things are still working correctly.

In my case after just 4y every panel was subpar
And 2 of 12 were simply so bad that the bypasses kicked in.
In turn that caused the input voltage to be too low when it was hot and the internal resistance went up, which results in a shutdown inverter.

Really, how often does this happen without people realizing? I've checked with a neighbour, he never looked at it, guess what, same deal!?
FFmpeg is one of those tools that we desperately need a new alternative to.

After almost 20 years of Linux I couldn't type a correct FFmpeg command with a gun to my head.
I think with 30kWp you should be able to heat enough sand to make it over the winter. It's a matter of space and finding someone to build you that heat storage.

Now I wake up at 5:00 AM and basically work non-stop in the same spot (sometimes a coffee shop in the morning) until 6:30 PM. I skip breakfast and lunch altogether, because I've found that without walking around the office campus I gain weight too quickly.

It sounds like you filled the extra time gained through WFH mostly with more work. Try filling it up with social activities, exercise, going outside etc. You might start feeling a lot better and not have to worry about weight.
Similarly, to my understanding, some cameras are perfectly capable of taking video, but disable the feature altogether (or impose a 30-minute recording time limit) to be classified as a still camera rather than a video camera for tariff reasons.
Make financial sense to whom? If solar is cheaper than natural gas, how does a utility profit from charging less? They are highly regulated, and are usually allowed to take a percentage as profit. So it's in their interest to take the more expensive option, depending on regulations

Saying that solar isn't cheap is just ignoring the past five years of cost data.
At that price of 37.4 cente per kWh and up I'm quite serious when I say that if I suddenly found myself owning a California house, I'd buy enough solar to meet my load needs, install a shitload of telecom grade 4000 cycle rated lifepo4 batteries (4.9kWh is about $1700 per module), charging setup, inverters etc and go off grid.

Maybe keep the grid link attached to a meter and 100A panel hooked up to nothing if needed for municipal compliance reasons.
I was looking for a copy of "Just So Stories" by Rudyard Kipling. Knew I wasn't going to get anything like the original publication of a 115 year old book, but the counterfeiter exceeded my expectations and sent me a badly photocopied, horribly cropped, freshly printed, piece of crap.
> NYCResistor does look to drive engagement by discounting membership to $75 a month if you teach 2 classes a year.

That seems like a good idea until you've been through some of the courses I've seen people run at hacker spaces. You need a committee to vet the courses and fire instructors that are terrible.
Taoists may have a difference of opinion on the matter.
Disagreement means that you’re sentient, afaik these machines can’t do that. I guess we also need a “I can’t do that, Dave” test on top of the usual Turing test.
Since the French Revolution republicans (in the sense of wanting a republic instead of a monarchy) are generally anti-religion. Basically there is no god, society should be based on reason and humanism, and organised religions are a tool of social control, all of which are still largely views of left of centre political movements.

Now, because there is also a strong sense of individual freedom, the compromise is that people can have the religion they want but that is to be kept a private matter and the State does not want to hear about religion.

In France there is also a strong anti-communitarist view that all people should be homogeneously French first and foremost instead of belonging to separate 'communities' living in their own bubbles.

All of this has worked well until relatively recently and a 'surge' of the Muslim faith, with some practitioners pushing back on this, e.g. from refusing to comply with absence of religious symbols in schools, all the way to violently trying to prevent free speech (which obviously, or especially, includes the right to criticise and ridicule all religions). This is compounded by cultural clashes, which some see as forcing a change in French culture and the creation of separate communities.
Certainly not in California where the transmission cost savings from rooftop solar are less than 1% per kWh vs the 200% increase in costs vs utility scale solar.

> We would almost all rather a hotel.

In many cases, when traveling with my family, I'd much prefer an AirBnb/vrbo/condo. Our kids are too young to have two rooms, and getting too big to fit into a single room.

I guess a hotel suite could work, but it's generally a lot less space and less convenient. In HBO's White Lotus, the main family has a suite that looks like it would cost several thousand a night, but the teenage son is sleeping on a cot in the kitchen. In that scenario, having a 2-4 bedroom condo or home would be much preferable than an ultra luxury suite.

We've rented an Airbnb home basically on the beach in Kauai. No comparison to any hotel at any price in terms of comfort. In Italy, we've rented an Airbnb that had a bedroom hidden behind a bookshelf. For a five year old kid, it was like the coolest thing ever.

My kids broke an IKEA vase while there and the host asked for EUR 100 saying it had sentimental value. I countered EUR 50 (it probably cost 15 but it takes time and effort to replace things) and they accepted…

Another great VRBO experience was renting a house on a lake. Our friends had a house on the other side of the lake. Every morning my wife would drive around the lake with one kid, and me and another kid would row across to meet our friends. These experiences aren't possible with a hotel, at any price.

I've also stayed in an AirBnb that had cockroaches. We changed places the next day, switching to a place that was more than twice the price but infinitely better.

In short, I'd say that hotels and specific hotel brands have more consistency. Airbnbs can be amazing, and there can be horror stories. I guess it's like traveling to new places, foreign places. Much safer to stay with what you know, but you might be missing out on a lot.
Amazon's one click, customer service, shipping infrastructure, and return policy simply embarrass all their competition. Decades of investing in these things is paying off. No wonder it's physically painful to visit a new site: forms, typing, janky shipping, janky returns...

These things seem so easy once you see them all working, but companies don't have the resources or the interest in catching up.
US nuclear comms is, without exaggeration, one of the highest risks to every life on the entire planet. I'd be surprised if it was just the Chinese.

It is unfortunate but the situation with Huawei is a matter of great FUD. On the one hand, they probably are dodgy as any organisation & in league with the People's Liberation Army. The major risk they pose is doing precisely what the the US is doing with their spy network and the risks of that are well understood.

But on the other hand, while this may be a real story, but it is just one thread of a bigger story where the Asia keeps challenging the US's high-tech edge. CNN + the FBI is not a combination known for fair, honest and reasonable journalism and this could well just be stirring up muck, trying to discredit a superior Chinese solution.
Currently, it is cheaper though to "sell" the electricity in summer and "buy" it back in winter (even if it is at 10x the price I sold it for). Compared to private long term storage solutions. Most long term electricity storage solutions will yield electricity at prices above 80c/kWh here (even lithium ion is currently around 50 to 70c, if you calculate 10,000 hrs average lifetime of house batteries). And you cannot use lithium ion for long term storage, you would need H2, or heat storage solutions.

All those crazy people moving to AZ and NV in the US did something right. Their energy costs to AirCon is going to need it.

But actually this seems like it would position well certain parts of the US that are growing (sun belt).
