alright. in india, for a "service provider", the threshold is inr 20 lacs or $25000. daily wages is at best inr 7-900 or $10-12.

the threshold is calculated on the "bank deposits" so people simply collect cash and don't route it through the banks. that way, people can avoid reaching the limit for quite some time...

The point was that land which used to be a Coal mine can be surprisingly green. To the extent that something we normally consider unquestioningly eco-friendly - like large arrays of solar power collectors - could have a more degraded local environment in their direct vicinity (though they are beneficial overall).

Has nobody considered the possibility of such vast, shiny external reflector walls absolutely, very literally roasting the surrounding landscape when struck by the already ferocious Arabian sun? How would a person even survive openly coming close to this fascinating monstrosity from either side at certain times of the day? I remember a story about sunlight reflections bouncing from the "Walkie Talkie" Building in London to then scorch some poor fellow's car in the streets below at certain times of day in the summer.

Not sure I agree - it's cultural too. If you grow up with the expectation that you'll never own a spacious 3-BR house with a dedicated yard, then you wouldn't think spending your life living in small apartments or townhouses was so terrible. But I admit I'd find it very hard to adjust to even if the reward/incentive for doing so was super high. And the dog would almost certainly agree!

You seem to have missed that everyone is already on UTC, and will not change to satisfy your sense of esthetics.

Fixing UTC by simply not declaring any new leap seconds eliminates all problems. What used to break on a semi-regular basis stops breaking. Nobody suffers. Nobody pays. No problems surface.

> I’m really struggling to understand the problem - what does out of sync here mean - especially when you are talking about a max 500ms.

From a purely academic perspective, it means from noon preceding a leap second to noon after the leap second there's a difference between UTC and what google (and anyone else who does smears) reports as the time. If you really hated yourself and were trying to use timestamps from conflicting sources to order transactions in a database, for example, this could mess up the order of your transactions which could have all sorts of fun consequences.

I was surprised to learn that 'strate' is a word.

The author isn't wrong about tight clamping potentially limiting glue penetration, but that's what edge preparation is for. In the books I've bound thus far, I first scored the binding edge in crosshatches with a carving tool, then brushed on a first layer of glue and pressed a strip of cotton roll gauze into it, and finally gave that a second layer of glue.

It worked pretty well; I rarely have trouble with pages coming loose or bindings cracking in the books I've made. I have a few ideas for how to further improve the result, but those will have to wait for when I find time to pick up the hobby again; lately the most I've done is quick stitched bindings for small booklets when I want to include some essay or article as a supplement in my diary.

For spines I prefer black bookbinder's tape. It looks more handsome than duct tape, and takes silver paint pen very well for titling.

The incredible scale of our existing fossil fuel infrastructure is pretty mind-boggling, though. Apparently there are 145,000 gas stations in the United States. If someone today proposed building out an energy infrastructure that required the construction of one hundred thousand sites that each hold thousands of gallons of combustible fuel, fed by a network of trucks and pipelines from a vast array of refineries, fed by tanker trucks, extraction and drilling sites all over the planet...they would be considered nuts.

The energy density for electric planes just isn't there. So we need to do something. Generating jet fuel from some carbon-neutral source is about the only sustainable path we have to keeping an airline industry going.

A few thousand of these sites would be almost nothing compared to what exists.
How concretely-grounded are these privacy concerns?

The cooling needs on a LWR are actually a bit higher, per unit of electrical power output, because the steam temperature is lower than that of a coal plant. The discrepancy is much larger for combined cycle plants.
> They could ban any given software from being able to run on Windows - maybe Chrome, maybe Steam, any competitor at all.

Well, it gets even better, even for folks with principles like you have.

If you want to use general computer, you need to log in. For logging in, you need second factor. That second factor is going to be in 99,99% cases exactly the app in the smartphone, that refuses to run on rooted devices.

My impression is that the simulation theory is essentially a "what if Matrix was true" (it is said that originally the machines were meant to use humans not as batteries, but as computational resources for the Matrix), which is essentially a Cartesian doubt about "what if an evil genie is lying to me about everything.

In both of these cases you exist in the real world, but are trapped in a dream/simulation/lie.

In the "modern" simulation theory we are often imagined as pixels in a huge Game of Life: the entire universe runs on some computational device where it is represented as little more than bits. This theory is a complete thought stopper: there is no concept of escaping the simulation as We does not exists in the "real" world, the same way that a Minecraft Enderman does not exists in ours.

This is the why in my opinion. It allows for many wasted hours of thought bu nothing is at play, nothing is actionable, nothing can be learned, and more importantly your opinions can never be disproved.
I'm frankly already appalled by how much data (proprietary data, customer data, employee data, etc) companies are fine leaking to 3rd parties, MS especially. Even if you assume that Microsoft could never ever possibly be hacked, or would never favor one of your competitors enough to hand them your data, Microsoft's MO has often been basically stealing other people's work/ideas and stomping out or absorbing the people they took it from. The data they get from outlook alone must be worth a fortune, but with everything the OS collects these days it's insane how little anyone cares.
Visa and Mastercard exert decisive control over the largest distribution channels of socially marginal commercial content (e.g. porn).

I don't believe it's socially healthy for content that the largest financial intermediaries reject to be relegated to non-commercial fringe distribution channels like Piratebay. Without commercial viability, such content will be starved of funding and be further marginalized.

>>Terra, Solana, $BSV.

These are amongst the most disreputable cryptos, particularly Terra and BSV. They are not at all representative of mainstay cryptocurrencies.

Overall, it's better that consumers have a choice from a wide range of financial intermediaries than that they have their choices limited to Visa and Mastercard.
And Apple had to revert it and got punished for it. What more do you want?
It might make sense to make such a jump if you’re young and early in your career. Young people have fewer commitments and they also have more energy, so they can handle those types of workloads more easily. And due to the way compounding (interest) works, choosing to make more money earlier in life is not such a bad idea.

The other benefit is that early in one’s career, a high salary can be a good boost of self esteem, and set one up for even higher salaries later.
However Denmark has a long history of being heavy into MS and being abused by the company, so I would like to see it ditched, which the way Denmark works is once you lose 50%, another 46% will jump on board with what that 50% are doing, so I'm just looking forward to Denmark as a Microsoft free country.
> Farmers don't just choose to farm a crop in a bad place when a better place is a available and unused.

Yes, they absolutely do, for two major reasons:

1) To intentionally use water. Water rights are extremely valuable and they are also use it or lose it. It must be wasted on crops or someone else might get it.

2) To capture federal subsidies - the same reason cotton is grown in Arizona. We have many farm subsidies that encourage behaviors we absolutely don't want.

> Why? Rice isn't water intensive (from a consumption point of view).

Yes, it is. More water is consumed growing rice than is used by the entire city of Los Angeles.

> There's no “tiny bit more” you squeeze out of anywhere (in the US, at least) that replaces California.

Of course there is.

> Again, California is the #2 state in Alfalfa production. You aren't squeezing a little bit out of other Alfalfa producing states to replace it's output.

Why not?

California produces these low value, high water consumption crops only because the perverse public policies makes it extremely cheap to do so.

I think you are grossly underestimating the potential capacity in other states. Do you think Texas, Missouri, Nebraska, the Dakotas can't all increase alfalfa production?

You don't even have to drive these industries to zero, or even reduce them much at all. Cut alfalfa alone by 10% and every urban municipality in the state can triple their water usage.

Re-run your numbers.
If you look at the opposite, shame as a strategy, it's basically 'whatever you're doing must be understood and accepted by your peers or it's worthless'.

That's a kind of heuristic, yes, but it's got problems.

I do an open source project called Airwindows. It's basically coding, but I'm not much of a coder. It's a (long) series of DSP effects put out as MIT open source, and I'm branching out into creative commons sample libraries: been doing this for years.

Sometimes the stuff I do sounds amazing, but it doesn't have visual interfaces or marketing etc to properly productize it, and it raises a lot of eyebrows. The thing is, I'm a designer, not a programmer. I struggle with porting tasks and keeping the coding environments working properly, and don't have the training for many things, but I have intentionality and a direction to go in, so I've made hundreds of plugins for people to use (or indeed re-work into their own things: MIT license). I also save a lot of time and energy not having to make each plugin meet particular standards or look spiffy, and that turns into workflow.

So the shamelessness question becomes, 'should I be so ashamed of my work not acting like other people's developed products, that I should stop doing it?' and the answer is nope: and I've learned a lot of interesting things about that, not least the fact that people will pay for the polish and chrome of a thing way out of proportion to functionality, and will pay for your effort to meet them where THEY are at. To do stuff that is where I am at is sustainable, but it's not a big marketing win. This is an acceptable trade-off when I cannot produce the same kind of results others (in proper companies, with dedicated programmers etc) are able to produce.

I guess shamelessness is genuinely good when there are some aspects of your stuff that are worth having, and you're not capable of following through and making ALL aspects exactly the way society expects them to be. You also get the bonus of eccentricity: when everything's the same, it's boring, but willful difference is often just annoying. When it's authentic, that becomes kind of a nice thing to have around :)

What are you talking about?
> Yep! Basically, it's safer if you don't own your PC. Think about users with a million toolbars and Bonzi Buddy installed.

And it is a pretty terrible solution to the problem.

- It is also keeping the good guys outside too: Anyone that want to analyse and understand the security of the system for good reasons cannot. Excepted if explicitly allowed by the corporation X and that is a terrible security property.

- No root access also means very little control or ability to scan the system itself if your are not the X corporation controlling it. That means no possibility to mandate reviewer corporation Y to check that corporation X is doing the right thing.
TPMs currently make that even worst by design, they are undocumented and complex, therefore rely on blind trust that company X do the rthe ight thing. And since the Intel management engine fiasco, we do know they are not doing the right thing.

- Bonzi Buddy and toolbar type of problem can be easily avoided by separating properly the normal user account from any admin account(the unix way). It should be painful to be admin but not impossible, just to make sure your grandma do not install a rootkit by mistake when she want her 20% coupon.

In summary: That is mainly bullshit from company X to keep full control on the entire user device, and not for their own good.
I think that the governments encroaching on rights is what really morally wrong. Wake me up when they are personally responsible for the harm they do.
I'm under the impression that we (Denmark) are pretty random in what we think is important about privacy and IT security.. These ideas were probably strongly influenced by lobbyists from the main IT service providers, which are privately owned, and yet runs a large amount of out infrastructure. It'd be very much in their interest to have the goverment order some bespoke, insanely complicated/delayed/expensive system to be made.
