I think the big issue is that there is nothing in this that clearly says "you have permission to use/distribute this".

"this software is information" does not achieve this because information can be subject to intellectual property laws! Even excluding that, it's not clear so imposes a legal risk on users.

"It is subject only to local laws of physics" does not achieve a clear grant of permission. It's phrased as a statement of fact, and a statement of fact doesn't actually give permission for a reader to just act as if its true.

There's minor issues too... just use the 0BSD or MIT-no-attribution or CC0 license which does what you want in clear and unambiguous legal language, with the bonus of trying to stop you getting sued.

Ran the numbers, people are installing solar without any subsidies. If you look at what subsides could achieve for grid scale solar it gets crazy.

Also, there is no way solar and wind can have negative EROI simply on a cost basis. There is simply no way for an unsubsidized energy source to have a negative EROI and be the cheapest energy source. You believe there is an option for sub 1c/kWh power to be supplying energy to crease that equipment and nothing fits the bill.
I thought I had a pretty good knowledge of the literature but June 2022 is pretty recent :-) CodeStruct looks great!

No, the ecosystem the code exists in and my ability to reason about the codebase is worth way more than any gain that comes from blindly stacking "simplest solution for problem a, b, .. z" atop one another without regard for higher level understanding of a codebase.

It was also enormously expensive.
Further, if someone thinks it’s already a pain to adapt systems for leap seconds, imagine the pain of ignoring this for decades/centuries and then having to deal with a massive headache on the scale of the feared Y2K problem. In the spirit of continuous integration and “releasing often” and “let it crash” on smaller scales, leap seconds seem like a pretty good solution for robustness at the global systemic level.
You seem to be an expert on this topic. I wouldn't expect them to have the exact same characteristics. Kerosene as it is used in aviation today is distilled from crude oil extracted from the ground. This is synthesized gas that is then refined. My question is how much of NOx and particulate emission is from impurities and what the differences are between the synthetic and conventional kerosene.

Is there a way to make a kerosene with less NOx and particulate emission that simply isn't practical today? Since we need to ramp up renewable energy sources to synthesize this fuel can that economy of scale justify some currently impractical process?

The way I read the Wikipedia article on NOx [1] it sounds like NOx comes from nitrogen in the fuel. Is it possible to reduce or eliminate this nitrogen and then emit less NOx? I also parse the Wiki article to suggest the nitrogen is from coal and oil based fuels, which the technology in the article is not.

on the contrary, that's the thing we want the most. having no way to curb abuse is what gave Tor a few orders of magnitude more adoption than the other alternative internets. having no way to curb abuse is what made crypto market what it is.
The work around makes no sense give zero knowledge about it.
Also, what UTV even comes with a dump bed?
The correct mitigation is a codification to REQUIRE (if this isn't already the case) the calls to go through. From a technical standpoint the failure to route to a given provider to terminate the call should be treated as an overflow and it should proceed down alternative service options, even from other providers.
Far from being "most vocal", that 2003 article has a single quote from a single astronomer whose only warning is:

> If the change is implemented, “the old meaning of time will become ambiguous,” warns Steve Allen, an astronomer at the Lick Observatory in Santa Cruz, California.

This does seem like a problem that is solvable.

In 2015 the ITU (mentioned in that 2003 story as studying the problem) announced:

> The ITU World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-15), currently in session in Geneva from 2 to 27 November, has decided that further studies are required on the impact and application of a future reference time-scale, including the modification of coordinated universal time (UTC) and suppressing the so-called “leap second”

At this point its back to the brick and mortar for me for many goods. Being able to hold an item in hand before you put money down is such an advantage. It's not as convenient, but the ways its better are worth it compared to electronic shopping these days. Some items are also just absurd to order online with the shipping, e.g. if its heavy or fragile.
Toro and John Deere have been selling electric versions of their UTVs for decades now. They work great too. Plenty of farms use them and there's plenty to like in the EV models even with just lead-acid batteries.
There was the a86/d86 suite for assembly and disassembly which were shareware as long it wasn't used for commercial purposes. These worked well enough.

Canada is effectively a vassal state of The US. any closer union between the two would result in Canada becoming a full fledged American state.

As a Canadian I feel that the current arrangement gives Canada most of the perks of America with very few of the downsides.

I've done both Sequencing.com and All of US WGS so I can chime in here. Sequencing.com had a pretty quick turnaround whereas Im still waiting for the All of Us results, so far they've only given me very generic results like if I like cilantro. That said, Sequencing.com was $349 and All of Us was free, they even gave me a gift card for donating my DNA + urine sample.

This may not work if Rogers is the strongest signal as the handset may latch to it despite its non-functional state.

And that’s for any handset without a SIM, an originally Rogers handset or not.
Congrats for the launch! My startup also provide email marketing but we're not in similar vertical.

The biggest headache in this business is dealing with spammers. Trust me, you will get more signups from spammers than actual users. So you need to have a process in place to handle them. Personally I've tried many automated methods and rules to validate spammers but nothing works as well as manual verification.

*The usual setup for luxury/performance electric cars.

Most of the lower end is FWD. The lowest end is all front wheel drive, since they're built on FWD ICE/hybrid chassis, with electric motors put where the ICE used to be. For example, the traction control light in my Fiat 500e rarely turns off. ;)

Honestly though, you'll be hard pressed to find anywhere as livable as Germany.

The US and Canada are less safe with more violence. Both have worse healthcare and education. The US is attractive income-wise but visas tough to get. Canada is extremely unaffordable. Most EU countries offer similar livability but you might not be able to get by on just English or German. It's a nearly impossible criteria considering how rich, safe and affordable Germany is...
I don’t think you understood my point. Being an advertising platform is good for facebook. But I don’t use FB for that reason (actually it’s a negative) I use it to keep up with my friends and family, and their kids.

Good code is about responsibility. The less things know about other things the better it is. Unfortunately this only comes with experience and concentrated improvement. After a while it is indeed an art form.
That is a very convoluted path towards getting a device - this is not limited to cars - with some optional extra. It breaks with the first sale doctrine by giving the original seller power over what is done with the product they sold which in my opinion is a big and resounding no-go. The idea of BMW having to 'physically ... remove the heater components or disable them permanently' is silly, if the original buyer did not order heated seats BMW could simply not have installed them. If they still install the heated seat cover because it is cheaper for them to just install the thing on every car that is their problem, not that of the buyer who does not want it. They can just leave out the controller - these things are controlled by a separate CAN-bus connected power supply without which they don't do anything - for those cars which are ordered without the option. Again, if they install the controller in all cars because that is cheaper for them that is their problem. Giving them the the ability to enable or disable components after the first sale based on a license payment suddenly makes this your problem. Don't fall for this ruse.
sounds like osteophytes to me
> There is nothing as cheap and fast as a pen and paper.

Talking. Simply talking is much faster than pen and paper.

I tried writing. I'm bad at it. And even though I tried, I never improved. I'm a slow typist, no advanced keyboard, spellchecking, auto-correction, or editor with extraordinary features helped me get better.

My handwriting is awful. If I try to write in a manner that I can understand it later - makes me way too slow. If I write fast enough - I can't decode my scribbles later.

Recently, I installed a nice audio recorder app on my smartphone. And now, I would just talk and record my thoughts. Files are set to immediately sync to the cloud and stored outside my phone. My next step is to set up a speech-to-text engine to transcribe them.

Alternately, they add or increase costs for features that were once free/affordable until most people are priced out of them.

Between those two forces (airlines cutting services in order to make flying available to more people, and airlines turning once standard features into high priced "premium" features to line their pockets at the expense of most travelers) the effect is pretty much the same: Most people who want to fly have no option, but to find the most affordable rates where they can expect to get substandard service while only a small number of very wealthy people get what used to be granted to everyone with a ticket.

Air travel was once a luxury experience at a luxury price, and things had to change to open it to more people, but things like standing seats (https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/standing-up-airplane-seat...) and fees for carry on bags are certainly not necessary and are just airlines abusing passengers for profit.
I always thought it'd be cool to get my whole genome sequenced and keep a copy in my wallet. I don't know why but having a copy of my source code in my pocket seems cool.
TBH I think there was a time period during which my distro's terminal env would explain in so many words--"using `apt-get` is now such a fail," or some friendly nudge like that, and that's where I picked up the new form.
Isn't it funny, though, how many people say they can't help working soulless jobs because the capitalist machine controls their lives, but they also say they refuse to feel the least bit invested in their jobs because because they don't let their lives be controlled by the capitalist machine?

Working purely for money and being emotionally detached from your work is one of the bad consequence of capitalism -- in fact it's the most hellish consequence of capitalism that most people working software development jobs are likely to personally experience. I don't understand why people working at adtech companies talk about being emotionally checked out all day as a healthy way to adapt to the system.

It's amazing to see the structure in such colorized images or even the picture of our Milky Way. I wonder, without the colorization, say, to a human eye, would such images appear mostly black (black-and-white)?
> Without documentation I find large projects difficult to understand. There's literally too many global symbols and I cannot see the forest for the trees.

Good abstractions let you see the shape if the forest.

Most "good code" or "simple code" is an inedible potluck of "simplest solution for the problem at the time" with some documentation.

Actual good code has intention revealing abstractions that communicate the essence of the problem and problem domain.
Down memory lane with Snort and Sourcefire creator Marty Roesch
No, that's two levels below me. Rend3->WGPU is trying to abstract over OpenGL, Vulkan, Metal, and Direct-X 11/12, which creates problems in this area. Something to discuss with those devs.
I feel like it would be more beneficial for students to move directly from Scratch to a normal programming environment (ie. editor + terminal on a unix OS). The learning curve & difficulty would absolutely be a challenge at first, but learning is best done through struggling, and trial & error. Plus, for young students, becoming familiar & comfortable with the terminal & editor in their most neuroplastic years would set them up to be very strong engineers.
I second this, primarily because I was chuckling the entire time there. Czech is quite funny to Polish speakers [1].

Rapid and frequent transit is a matter of planning, investment and demand. You don’t need to have a particularly large population to sustain it.

Madrid for example is a city of about 3 million in a metro area of 6 million. Trains come every few minutes throughout the day.

> I would hasten to point out that not everyone walks or can take all public transit (BART elevators frequently being broken is an issue for wheelchair users, for example).

That is a BART problem, not a “public transit is inaccessible” problem.
The implication in the article is that this happened during a scheduled change window (the 6th change in a set of 8), but it's also just the strong implication. I'm still of the apopleptically hawkish view it was an attack, and equivocal language just reinforces that belief, but charitably I'm less and less attached to that view.

Let's say this was a mistake. When they tested the config in a pre-prod environment, they would have noticed the redistribution of those routes. If they were pasting the config into a router instead of sending it via scp, maybe there's a mouse buffer/paste error, but you don't do that on a core device anymore. Judging by the response time, they weren't doing this onsite at the console either and their OOB access didn't work because it probably used the bunged cell network. Not negligent, but certainly risky.

I have personally made routing mistakes that caused peer resets, like mistyping a prefix on a static route that overrode the route to a peer interface over an exchange, and I have also overloaded circuits because of misguided path prepends. I haven't had enable privs on a core router in probably 20 years, but this wholesale redistribution is caused when you take one peers routes and announce them to another with you as the origin, known as "announcing the internet." As I remember, this isn't a single filter.

Not to muddy it, and it doesn't help my attack theory much, and please call this out as bullshit with a correction if you recognize it to be as such, but someone who used to work there told me something to the effect of their architecture had combined some of the older ASNs from previous Rogers acquisitions and that was part of the problem, whereby they essentially have the old AS's speaking iBGP to each other internally within Rogers, with only the single Rogers AS facing the internet as a peer, sort of the way the some of the old mega ASNs. It implies there were different policy domains with different levels of maturity inside the main AS, and those internal peers don't filter routes they recieved from the core. When you have a network that has grown organically over the last couple of decades, this happening at least once is inevitable. Legacy policies just redistributed what they were sent, and between flapping, dampening penalties, transiting and backhauling mobile voice traffic over IP networks, and backup and OOB reachability, this one of those perfect storms where for years the network both worked magically, and then one day failed just as magically.

Undoubtedly, there are probably some senior engineers sitting around saying, "I told you this would happen, and we've been trying to tell you for years," but when you know this stuff, it's your responsibility to also be persuasive.

I was very attached to the attack theory for a bunch of reasons, but the conceptual chain of events above makes more sense to me, and it is a lot more like a rubber gasket on a fuel tank expanding too rapidly an unexpectedly cool day. Obvious in hindsight and simple to explain, but invisible up until the moment of ignition.

Fascinating to see old ideas make a comeback, like wireless power or that antique Sunbeam toaster.

Seems to be for a few reasons but one is that mass production seems to carry enough compromises that we eventually accept them for long enough to forget how some things were better when volumes were smaller.
Hmm, you probably shouldn’t look at how ACH works then
Again, you're misunderstanding the point. I really recommend you just check out the first few pages of chapter 4 of the full MIT report. Yes the emissions per mile travelled is less in EVs. Nobody is arguing against that. There's 3 categories here:

1. Emissions from initial production

2. Emissions from fuel production

3. Emissions from fuel consumption

For EVs, emissions from 1 and 2 are higher. But this is more than offset by having 0 emissions from the third category. So yes, the emissions per mile traveled is less in EVs. However the cost of fuel production per mile traveled is still significantly higher (around 192% higher)

PS you're the only one who used the word "cheaper". I only used it when directly quoting you. I presumed we were still measuring by emissions and not by dollar cost, but I see now that you were talking about something else

EDIT: check out figure 4.6 on page 68
Taking it in a slightly different direction – because in my work chunking is nearly never necessary (too little text or too much memory) whereas Unicode characters and punctuation nearly always is – I would tend to something like:

from collections import Counter
from re import finditer

word_counts = Counter()
with open(PATH, encoding = 'utf-8') as file:
doc = file.read()
word_counts.update(match.group().lower() for match in finditer(r'\w+', doc))

In Python, this could be a fairly performant way of taking unicode into account, because it doesnʼt use Pythonʼs for-loop, and regular expressions are rather optimized compared with writing low-level-style Python. (Maybe it should use casefold instead of lower.)

Seems like a lot of shit happened if you read between the lines. IMO the lessons would have been more impactful with insights into what really happened. For instance: "#1 Earn the right to build the next thing" --> A.K.A we built the wrong thing. What did you build and why didn't it work?

Still, overall great lessons. In the end, it seems like Clubhouse is more of a feature that can be added to an existing product rather than a full product by itself. That doesn't necessarily make it a failure but much harder to turn into a long-term company. Reminds me a bit of Dropbox in that sense.
