> Anything less than that I'd say it's complex and you'd be better off using a PaaS

Kubernetes is available as a managed service in AWS, Azure, Google etc and this is likely to be the most popular deployment model.

By any definition this is a PaaS and if you add in custom monitoring, logging, security, ingress etc. is going to be just as simple and significantly cheaper than using a managed solution.

If you're just building a basic website then sure it's an overkill but fewer people are building those these days.
I recently discovered "systems" people via Reddit (r/SystemsCringe) will searching for systems engineering. The core belief seems to be that the individual has "multiple people" living in the same body. They've devised a whole language for talking about it as well[0].

This reminds me of the "otherkin" fad that occurred primarily on Tumblr about a decade ago[1]. It was where teenagers believed themselves to not be humans but rather other creatures like dragons, bears, and so on. I remember reading about one girl who argued with her mother over whether or not she needed to eat diamonds because she was a dragon.

>Provide a source that shows a company which business model is to buy renewable energy when the price is low and then sells it when the price is high, recovering the cost of investment and operations

If you read the literature of any of the three projects I just mentioned it will give the numbers.

>What does not count is a pumped storage that operate as a grid balancer, where the profits is not from the margins between price points but rather to provide a service of keeping the grid balanced when other power plants are ramping down or ramping up.

The 350GWh of storage provided by, for example, snowy 2 puts it just a little bit beyond what would be required for adjusting the frequency of the grid.

>There is statistics about this

Yeah, this is an interesting conversation that only ever seems to happen seven thread layers deep into the 1,543rd article about how nuclear is totally truly 100% the future and just like, so safe.

It definitely deserves its own thread.

>More commonly there are periods of low wind lasting weeks to months

More like days. We dont need months of storage. Anyway, whilst Id love to refute the same FUD i encountered two weeks ago on a complex topic six levels down in Yet Another Hacker News link started about how Nuclear Power is Just The Best Thing Ever im afraid I am rather busy today.

If you scroll through my history you should see that i have addressed this before though and posted research.

In EU (Italy) there is eIDAS (SPID) that could allow this. It is essentially a national SSO.

Today it requires almost always a Android/iOS phone AFAIK, but it could easily be massaged to solve this problem.

The system is set up so that your account is owned by the state, and you can register with documents to providers; then after certification they run the actual SSO process.

A library provider could set up a computer that automatically passes the SSO login for your national account after certificating your identity.

Honestly this feels a bit too open to social engineering attacks, but probably there is a good middle ground.

Edit: Maybe in the US this is already almost possible by extending something like https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIPS_201

I think pornhub is doing about as much as a business can do to insure the content on their website is legal. The attachment of a child porn accusation seems overblown, and I can't quite put my finger on it... It's like a nuclear option against an opponent: If you really want to hurt a company, or person, accuse them of trafficking, child porn, etc.
> and states only have authority to regulate those rights with the consent of the people.

And guess what -- in states like Alabama, the people of that state have elected politicians that choose to regulate things like abortion in a manner different than what would be the case in a state like California. On the flip side, you have states/municipalities that regulate the second amendment -- something DEFINITELY in the constitution, and not in a "squint really hard and it sorta makes sense" way like abortion -- much more stringently than other states. The system is working as intended.

The issue is that you're expecting every state to have the exact same cultural attitudes towards things like abortion. They don't. The majority of people in certain states are against it, and they have voted accordingly.
For relatively small vendors like TaskRabbit, I always use a virtual card that can easily be closed/paused.

The one with the best UI is Privacy.com. It's free but it has to link to a debit card, not a credit card.

Australia spent decades gearing their economy to China’s [0]. The fury that erupted due to Xi’s string of fuckups, from trade disputes [1] to domestic meddling [2] to security encroachments after breaking its agreement with Hong Kong and threatening Taiwan [3] was significant enough that its people chose to incur economic pain for self preservation.

Last Sunday Wikipedia had a generic definition of recession. Then the second paragraph was changed so that the US would be in a recession under the definition. Then, as the title says "Wikipedia has blocked editing recession".

So it was made US-centric, in fact US current events centric, and now as the title says "Wikipedia has blocked editing".

if you’re using someone else’s computer, or a computer at a library, you have no security. TLS isn’t enough to be certain they haven’t intercepted the connection, installed their own root certs, or whatever else. I can’t think of any method to securely use someone else’s computer and connection unless you bring a live boot Linux USB or something, which I doubt applies to the intended audience here.

Sure, having a physical key makes it easy for a non-technical librarian to steal someone’s identity, but perhaps having some kind of yubikey safe deposit box would be an appropriate compromise.
Also: Don't wear a backpack as you will sweat on your back when it's hot. I imagine messenger bags would have similar problems. I recommend using something like a milk crate or panniers to hold anything you're taking with you.

I don’t use social media, so I subscribe to newsletters to follow sources I like. They’re easy to manage, easy to unsubscribe, and feel more personal than the mass blast of competing socials. If you don’t have a newsletter, you fall off my radar completely.

Obnoxious newsletter notifications as soon as one enters a website are extremely grating though. If I care enough to want a newsletter from you, I’ll find it myself.
I would say heat can be produced locally without having to raid other states natural resources. Ditto for AC in Texas.

Better analogy would be like shipping beach sand from FL to Wyoming because they want beaches and FL has a lot of sand.
They have, though it's not clear if it's "engineer at Apple realizes with one small change they can make it easier for Linux" or "internally Apple is fine with supporting Linux on their hardware but they're not openly doing so".

I'm actually moderately surprised they are not actively helping, as often having a second OS option allows for various fun legal tricks when importing, bidding on government contracts, etc.

Actual profit is a backwards looking statistic, stock prices are a prediction of future profits.
Going purely by our Constitution, technically all Ministers of State - that's all 42 people currently listed at https://www.aph.gov.au/about_parliament/parliamentary_depart... - equally share Executive power (and technically they themselves have no power, they can only advise the Queen, and her representative, the Governor-General, who are the ones with the actual power).

However, as with everything in the Westminster system, the written law is only part of the picture, and by convention, we have one Minister to rule them all, and he/she exercises actual Executive power.
The country is it's people and the government represents the interests of its people, not the other way around. So you have some belief about what you think the government is that doesn't line up with reality. The government is its people, when it stops working for the interests of the common good, it's no longer legitimate.
Infertile lands are not infertile. There are thousands of rare creatures that inhibit them.
If a large percentage of computer users who use the library exclusively have ID, the library could purchase a MF device or cheap android phone running an MFA app and use the same device for every user or many users: show your ID, librarian verifies that you're registered, and then come over and log you in with key + username (user still enters password).

Would it be possible for some nefarious person to grab these keys? Yes, but essentially you're reducing the MFA back down to SFA, a cost I think likely worth it for this group.

You are correct most beef is grain fed or at least grain finished. I believe that can be changed easily enough though. It’s an economic choice they make to grain finish, not necessarily an ecological one.
Tracking smoothly. Copied from my other comment in this thread:

When you're focusing/tracking something your eyes do a different type of movement called smooth pursuit [0].

To see this in action, look around normally - notice your eyes move and then stop, taking in "still frames".

Next, look at your finger and move your finger around. Notice that your eyes smoothly follow the finger around.

> So I created a script to download the definitions of the most 300.000 common words in English and insert them into an SQLite database.

It seems like if you're limiting yourself to 300k words starting with the most common ones isn't the best heuristic for filtering. Surely people are going to look up less common words more often? Or maybe even the most likely words to be misspelled.

True, but "lots of consumer value" drives inflation, if that consumer value isn't being satisfied.

In other words, the supply is insufficient in the face of overwhelming demand, which is why prices increase in a functioning economy.

Inflation is always a result of monetary policy; if the cash in the system (low interest rates, quantitative easing, government stimulus, etc) is increased without a corresponding increase in output, then inflation will naturally occur because demand for goods and services will increase beyond the capacity of supply. (h/t Nobel Prize winner Milton Friedman)

But, if economic output is actually decreasing because of those same economic policies (such as hiking interest rates or external factors such as war in Ukraine), then we can easily enter stagflation, which is stagnant growth with rampant inflation.

We've had three periods since WWII where inflation hit double digits: the period immediately following the war (1946-1948), 1974-1975 during the oil crisis, and 1979-1983 following Carter's disastrous presidency (partly what he inherited, and then he made it much, much worse).

In the last period (79-83), Paul Volcker immediately took strong action to control inflation by hiking interest rates through the roof. This caused immediate economic pain, but, in concert with lower taxes and reduced regulation, it succeeded in ushering in a strong bull market that lasted, by some definitions, decades.

That's why the central banks are acting strongly to reduce inflation by raising rates, assuming they have the stomach to keep it up even as it might force the economy into a temporary stall: controlling inflation by reducing the money supply through higher rates has historically made for a stronger economy in the near future, and rates can always be reduced to inject stimulus into the economy if needed.

Here's another Milton Friedman quote: "Inflation is the one form of taxation that can be imposed without legislation."
Delusions of persecution are strong here. Who on earth would say that disagreeing with the WH on the technical definition of recession is a conspiracy theory?

It's probably difficult to demand objectivity in a field where the topic is often by its very definition subjective. Many mental illnesses are defined by how they subjectively affect us, of how we experience the world. You simply can't measure what it's like to be me.

You can't conclusively prove or disprove that I have ADHD. I may describe my experiences in a way that aligns with such a diagnosis, but for all you can tell I may be a P-zombie merely acting as though I experience things. For what you're able to measure, I may not even have an experience.
China's entire industrial base is state subsidized. TSMC is a strategic asset of Taiwan. The US is still strongly dominant in aerospace, and there are few efforts or companies in that entire sector that are not subsidized (largely by defense spending and NASA). I could fill up several pages with this.

If nobody subsidized their industries, then maybe we could do just fine without subsidizing ours. In today's world, not subsidizing key industries is unilateral disarmament. It'd be like the USA unilaterally giving up all its nuclear weapons while Russia, China, North Korea, etc. still have theirs and hoping everyone plays nice.

Ask Russia how not having domestic chip fab capability is working out for them.
I just tried that in 3 different applications: Finder (search bar), Notes, and Slack (just in case it was an Electron specific behaviour). I couldn't get those readline/emacs bindings to work on either. This is a brand new MacBook Pro with all the defaults for the UK region so it's definitely not something I've (knowingly) disabled.

Is this something that needs to be enabled? Or is it dependant on something else to work? It's definitely a feature I'd welcome.

Nuclear is pretty terrible for peak consumption though! It's perfect for base load.
In what sense?

In the literal backyard of my house? No. Of course, I also support windmills, water reservoirs, lithium mining, and electric car factories and don't want any of those in my literal backyard either. The idea that it is hypocritical to advocate anything you wouldn’t want on your own residential property seems like such an obviously ridiculous idea, I'm not sure it makes sense to rebut. There are countless things society wants (factories, mines, landfills, warehouses, etc…) that don’t make sense to do in residential areas.

In my figurative backyard, like the state I live in? Sure, I would definitely support California creating a nuclear waste storage facility.

This isn't really anything groundbreaking. We already have millions of acres of landfills in the US. Like radioactive waste, trash is basically permanent and will be decomposing for at least hundreds of years. And no one wants a landfill "in their backyard," but somehow we still managed to create the thousands of landfills we have today. We can spare a few dozen acres to build a nuclear waste facility.

Maybe yours is a US perspective, but I never decided between flying and driving. I fly when driving or the train typically does not make sense, i.e. flights over 800km.

Apple isn't a lifestyle company. They're just a tech company that happens to use lifestyle marketing as their selling point. But even before they owned a chip design firm their key strength wasn't the marketing; it was superior UX design.

Or to paraphrase Papa Steve: the only problem with other tech companies is that they have no taste.

Related note: Intel was in the bidding process for the original iPhone chip and lost to Samsung, partially because Intel's chip was too expensive for their liking. Apple really expects its vendors to be able to take a haircut on unit pricing and make it back up in volume, which isn't exactly Intel's thing. Had Intel met Apple's requirements they may have dissuaded Apple from getting into chip design in the first place.
