k, I will bite. Give me a source for a pumped storage facility that buy wind or solar when overproduction causes the prices to be low, and then sells it when the price is high. How much do they pay on average, how much at the point of sale, and how is the ROI per kw/h.

All the existing pumped storage facilities that I know of do not generate their profit from buying low and selling high. They generate profits by providing a service of balancing the grid for short duration so that when a power plant is ramping down, there is a equal force being provided as a service so that the grid doesn't break down. The period of ramping down/up need to be covered somehow, a cost that either the grid operator or the individual power plants need to pay for. The end customer who pays by the kw/h do not see this cost, and it is a very insignificant cost of the whole since it only occur at start and stop.

But I am happy to be proven wrong. Please give me that link of one that buy low and sell high. A commercial operated pumped storage that buy renewable energy when its low and sell when it is high can be scaled up to be used whenever the price difference between low and high is great enough. The cost of operation and investment just need to be low enough that the margin between low and high price points can support it.
So this actually ends up being net benefit for the businesses in the area - having paid meters means there's actual turnover in the cars parked.

Before the meter change in Chicago, it would be next to impossible to find a parking spot in the loop - people were essentially using street parking as free week-at-a-time car storage. At $8/hr or whatever they run now, you can actually find open spots when you need them.

Thanks, but its not iframe, its proxy.
California, Hawaii, Australia.

In hawaii they canceled a proposed inter-island power connector because batteries + solar were just cheaper.

Pumped storage is generally a lot more economic and can store a lot more than batteries but it cant be built quite as quickly & is somewhat geographically dependent. It takes 4-5 years to deploy rather than months.
Can you clarify?

They may be biased to the German point of view. Just like any other news agency in other countries. But other than that, they're as neutral as humans can be. Of course, Russia and Turkey aren't very fond of them. But i'd say we all know why...

>>which sadly seems to happen almost accidentally just from branding, as humans are poor market participants and will refuse a perfectly good alternative if it doesn't have a fancy name on it

I don't think this is true at all, look at the rise of "store brands" often time they are of lower quality and people still pick them because they are cheaper

As an example of a brand people to seek out, People do not buy Toyota brand because it is "fancy" they buy it because it has worked hard to cultivate a reputation for reliability across all of its market lines, where other brands have known to cut corners in quality to lower prices

It seems the conservative political movement is bifurcated—-fiscal conservatism and culture war. First, I question if any single media outlet can give voice to both reason and passion. Second, The conservative culture war zealots are fast and loose with facts and cynical conspiracy thinking. I’ve not heard here any remarks saying one or other outlet are better with facts.

For my part I follow NPR. I appreciate good writing, but that’s not a substitute for false statements.

Agree Docusaurus might be overkill for simple docs, however we also made sure the experience for simple usage is great.

It comes with file-system routing convention, versioning, accessibility, internationalization, good SEO by default and many useful features that would take time to build in userland...

We have many devs using Docusaurus as a portfolio or personal blog, we even have a dedicated showcase tag for that: https://docusaurus.io/showcase?tags=personal

For advanced needs, like multi-sdk support, we get you covered.

Site with multiple frontend SDKs (React, Angular...): https://docs.dyte.io/react-ui-kit

Palo Alto Networks has a dev portal with multiple products using Docusaurus, all sharing similarities but with tweaks per product:

Just curious whether rust is an advantage for this sort of a tool? I don't know much about rust but my impression is that it's a systems language like C/C++. Is security a major problem for this sort of a build tool? It just seems like of I were writing something that processes text using a C/C++ class language isn't going to maintain well or be easy to adapt, extend or customize.
Quad bits to triple bits is 4/3=1.33.
Taking your way of counting to the extreme: if I have a cell that can handle 1 million bits, I can't just add an extra bit of storage for another 1 million bits of storage. I have to actually add the full megabit of storage.
Thanks for providing these examples. Really would not have guessed all these docs were created using Docusaurus.
I live so far out in the woods, I'd have to walk a half mile to get a neighbor into rifle range. It is never silent here. There's a few mis-timed cicada up this summer, which makes it louder than usual; but the crickets, the frogs, the whole panoply of the chorus of life is in full swing all the time.

None of those critters care about economic or social status.
The subconscious can identify deepfakes
Abstract:
Can we trust our eyes? Until recently, we rarely had to question whether what we see is indeed what exists, but this is changing. Artificial neural networks can now generate realistic images that challenge our perception of what is real. This new reality can have significant implications for cybersecurity, counterfeiting, fake news, and border security. We investigated how the human brain encodes and interprets realistic artificially generated images using behaviour and brain imaging. We found that we could reliably decode AI generated faces using people's neural activity. However, while at a group level people performed near chance classifying real and realistic fakes, participants tended to interchange the labels, classifying real faces as realistic fakes and vice versa. Understanding this difference between brain and behavioural responses may be key in determining the 'real' in our new reality.
About a decade ago, a broken iPhone caused me to experience how bad Google's MFA reset process was — there were multiple _years_ where the “hard landing” form triggered a flow which sent an email to an internal mailbox which didn't exist! — and while I was able to use printed backup codes after I returned home the experience left me concerned enough that I went to one of their identity group's public meetings here in DC.

One of the things which I was struck by was how unseriously they appeared to view their role in modern life. People were generally very casual about the need and were especially uninterested in anything which required them to work with outside parties.

My suggestion was that they consider a protocol where trusted civic authorities could be allowed to confirm someone's identity, which sounds like it would be useful for this case: let the person initiate a mediated reset flow where someone like a librarian, police officer, etc. could authenticate in their official capacity and check a box saying that they've confirmed the photo ID for the person standing in front of them. Most of the benefits from MFA are preventing things like phishing attacks which are also stymied by limiting it to people in your geographic area, although you might want to disable this for high-risk people enrolled in Google's Advanced Protection Program.

Zerohedge is technically more libertarian. Most articles I've come across there end up checking out and not fake news. I often find they're also surprisingly early to publish a story. But of course, WSJ is the gold standard for good reputable reporting!

> regular Lenovo laptop

This is true for what we nerds call a "lenovo laptop" (so mostly T series). Install, everything works.

Lenovo also sells a bunch of cheapish plasticky laptops that look like some random noname chinese OEM manufactured and lenovo just put a sticker on... well, linux support there is a bit hit and miss.
That is what Trump would have said...

That is not what the media would have said.... Ironically that is what the media is functionally saying about the today's economy., for example repeating the lie that we have had the "most job growth in history" when in reality we still have not gotten back to pre-covid employment
Probably just a matter of maintenance and time, I use Verdaccio and DevPi but if Gitea fulfills the task then there is no reason to keep them.
Wtf, I didn't realise they were shutting down Optane. Any alternative suppliers on the horizon for persistent memory?
To bring it back to the Atari 800, I remember magazines like Compute and Antic having breathless headlines about how Atari and Commodore played some big part in making the movie. As the new owner of an 800 in 1982, I was quite excited by this. Thinking my Atari could render a lightcycle! Turns out, it was minor sound effect work done on the Ataris. That wasn't quite as exciting.
Yes, and that's exactly the value proposition of Docusaurus.

You just write markdown files.
Eventually you create a custom landing page with React (optional, we also support a Markdown landing page).

If you want to customize your site, you can use more advanced tools, but really you can stick to Markdown if you want something simple.

Now Docusaurus uses advanced things under the hood, but it's an implementation detail, not something you really have to deal with.

Just try it and see: docusaurus.new
That is why they said “even iframe” because you get about 80% of the way with an iframe.
What I was saying doesn't require everyone to work that way, only for some people to work that way. Many people use genetics, but enough people gravitate towards brands in order to maintain a ton of profits despite alternatives products that might not only be cheaper but sometimes also be better.

> Would you do the same for someone working at Facebook? Someone who makes alcohol?

This is about nicotine so these examples strike me as off topic.

Society level, moral choices are made all the time. Just ask some Supreme Court justices. And governments profit from nicotine consumption through sin taxes. Whose taxes should be solely devoted to paying for the externalities consumption causes.
I came to write this.

Was also hoping for a docs generator from my YUIDoc source code comments in PHP and JS.

Is there anything out there that works with YUIDoc or something I can transform it into? Anything?

As it is, we are using YUIDoc and themes to generate documentation and it’s pretty good.
This is already the case for FOSS communications software and social networks.

"Right-wing" and "Left-wing" are not good descriptors to classify political opinions as is well-demonstrated by the "red wave" in the UK during the Brexit votes where traditional "left-wing" voters moved en-masse to the "right-wing" Tory party, the rapid move of (traditionally socially conservative, fiscally progressive) Hispanic voters from the Democrats to the Republicans and similar phenomena. What is usually dubbed "right-wing" or "extreme right-wing" by "progressives" is more akin to national conservatism, that what is usually dubbed "left-wing" or "extreme left-wing" is more akin to intersectional identity politics and social/political deconstructivism.

So, to rephrase the question, what are some good US-based national conservative new sources? The Daily Wire's "Morning Wire" [1] netcast comes to mind for a reasonably objective view on daily news as seen from a national conservative perspective. For a more "traditional left-wing" perspective I'd have a look at Spiked Online [2] and their netcasts ("The Spiked Podcast" and "The Brendan O'Neill Show"). Spiked is a British publisher and as such are wont to go deep into things which might be of less interest to US-based readers/listeners but they are a good example of how "Right" and "Left" just don't make sense any more seeing as how they would have been squarely on the Labour ("left") side in the Thatcher years but now are considered to be "centre-right" or "libertarian". The BBC was mentioned but I'd not consider this to be a reputable "right-wing" or "conservative" source, the are more neutral/centrist with a globalist tendency. As to the likes of the traditional (or "legacy") cable news providers I tend to stay away from these since essentially all of them are more "show" than "news" - the whole formula of "cable news" does not appeal to me since it has to keep up the pressure since "the show must go on".

We have an impressive track record and happy high-profile customers. I believe the purchase decision is self-evident. I don’t want new customers that need me to make a lot of promises or concessions, I’ll never hear the end of those. I only want new customers by referral.
hey! Interesting, this is kinda where we came from.

We thought that with a form you always try to get as much information as possible, hence your "snooping" around.

Despite knowing I shouldn't, I actually find this fight highly amusing in a black comedy kind of way.

Reminds me of the fight over the Titanics last lifeboat.

Everyone knows its all broken, that already no one can pay their debts, millions are homeless and US interests have started their march to double digits.

But the most important thing right now is to scrape a few more moments believing there is hope by redefining the meaning of proper fked.
I believe they are intended to support effective webapps but in practice are just used to confuse and abuse non-techy users that suddenly get 100s of notifications for random websites which they don't know how to turn off.

> If someone from Brazil writes a message using the letter é to multiple people, they would read as ة in Arabic, и in Russian and as a corner pipe (╔) if they’re using IBM’s code page 850.

Apologies for the minor nitpick: и is in Cyrillic, not Russian. Cyrillic is the script, Russian is the language. There are other languages that use Cyrillic besides Russian (and the script itself was developed around Greece/Bulgaria before Russia even existed).

For Arabic it's the language and the script so you're OK there!
Fixing the steering on a DS is a major operation, make sure you get the shop manual and if you can practice on a junker before doing it on your real car, it is probably one of the most labor intensive jobs you could do on that car.

Rebuilt units can be bought, they're better than the originals and should last the (remaining) lifetime of the car, I would definitely recommend against trying to rebuild one yourself, they are super finicky to work on and require a ton of specialist tooling (and experience) to do the work properly.

Note that there are right and left hand drive versions of these. Also there typically is a charge if you don't give them your old one for rebuild in return after you've completed the transplant, and, of course there is a huge difference between the 'red' and the 'green' version, which has to do with the sealing materials used, the 'red' system uses a hydraulic oil which is extremely corrosive.

One example (green, LHD):

https://citrotech.nl/shop/product/stuurhuis-ds-lhm-linksgest...

Obviously, after replacing the steering housing you'll need to have the car aligned again, and while you are at it you may as well replace CV boots and ball joints since it is mostly just the price of the materials at that point.

Honestly sounds insane. This is textbook psychological projection.

Which is not to say US/Euro culture doesn't have a shocking history of genocide and organised exploitation which is underplayed - and continuing.

But the difference is in effectiveness, not in ethics. You can find similar atrocities in most human cultures.

For very complex historical and cultural reasons - not obviously associated with skin colour - US/Euro culture became more efficient and effective at practical sociopathy. There's an expansionary/missionary trend which is somewhat unusual.

But that's an adjunct to the sociopathy, which operates at normal human levels. It makes it more dangerous in practice but it's certainly not exceptionally strange.

How can we transform our DocBlock or YUIDoc comments in PHP and JS code, into beautiful hyperlinked documentation? Now THAT would be something!
This is not really comparable to Docusaurus: your thing is a little toy to publish documentation online but not really useful to create a great advanced and looking doc site.

Just consider this: your tool requires client-side JS to work. This is very inaccessible and does not respect the progressive enhancement philosophy of the web. A Docusaurus site takes great care of accessibility, and the experience with JS disabled remains good.

Also using JS this way with anchor link routing will likely lead to bad SEO, and a flash of unstyled content which gives a really bad UX.
New Zealand nurses had virtually zero first hand experience of the effects of the virus (on the frontlines) because the government imposed isolation was so effective at keeping Covid out of the country. Also, there is plenty of evidence that proves vaccination is considerably less dangerous than contracting the virus (especially for the over 60 age group), although in certain younger age groups it’s a bit inconclusive. Nurses can be as irrational as any other professionals.
I see an ethical aspect of this in data portability: it should be possible to create your web site in one service and then migrate it to another one for hosting (it's your content) whenever you like. I wouldn't proxy all requests through though, so at least add a cache, use the original service as a static-site generator, or do an honest import of the data to your service?
Obviously, until you have enough renewable generating capacity to charge your storage, you are not selling stored energy: you sold what you generated.

It is extremely disingenuous, not to say dishonest, to make up scenarios based on status quo when there is still very little renewable generation capacity.

Some developers (younger ones?) seem to think that the SemVer spec is a law of the universe, when in reality it's just something a GitHub guy put into the mix in the 2010s.
The transient, company-specific boost from a company managing to innovate on something its competitors haven't gotten to yet isn't something you should see across the board across major companies: they only reasons you see so many companies managing to maintain high profit margins is because of regulatory rent seeking, anti-competitive lock-in, and the exploitation of the working class. The hallmark of a functioning economy isn't "lots of corporate profits", it is "lots of consumer value".
