This. I worked 3 or 4 contracts back to back in the blockchain space as a test engineer which all involved setting up local chains as a test environment to spin up/down in CI and local testing. There is 100% a product there of allowing people to run cloud-hosted private chains including multiple chains and bridges which isn't really solved yet. I looked at building this as a product but moved away from the field :)
If anything, they would probably prefer advertisements at least tangentially related to the content so that their readers don’t get creeped out by some Amazon product following them around the internet

Which is what Google initially promised web site owners: Targeted advertising. That's why it's called Google AdSense. Because, thanks to Google's crawling ability, it was supposed to sense the content of the page and place appropriate ads there.

Only later, as Google's managers became more greedy, did it become ads for forklifts on granny's sausage-making recipe page because must... wring... every... last... penny... for... rhetorical... shareholders... Gah!

"Hyundai – which in its release did not clarify if the fuel cells would be charged with “green” hydrogen, using 100 per cent renewables – plans to utilise the launch of these new Xcient trucks as an opportunity to further expand its business into the wider European commercial vehicle market."

Yeah, newsflash, its not. Usual hydrogen trojan horse for continued fossil fuel use.

This one by user tempsy about /r/wallstreetbets from January 2020: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22186392

This comment made me aware of the whole options market and leverage. I didn’t know a thing before reading it.

I made €500k by betting that the Corona virus will have more impact than the market anticipated in February 2020 and got it right. Which of course, was kinda naive and quite lucky. I totally cannot recommend to play around with options at all.
Gasoline engines struggle to produce torque at very low RPM's, so once they begin choking on the fibers in the chaps, they lose momentum and stop.

Electric motors on the other hand produce peak torque at 0 RPM, so it's way harder to bring them to a standstill.

Many of these electric chainsaws are premium brands and still have this problem- to my knowledge there are no electric chainsaws that have a safety feature designed to make sure chaps work.

The clever safety feature that could be engineered to help make these safer is to add a torque sensor to the motor that cuts off power if excessive torque is sensed. This excessive torque condition would hopefully be calibrated to not have any nuisance shutoffs, but can still stop the saw when needed for safety.
I really don't get hydrogen. Yes, it has the highest possible energy density (for chemicals) but that is about it. That is the only thing it has going for it. Everything else is either equal or worse than other options:

- It is the smallest atom so it diffuses through every other material, thus you get something similar to self discharge in batteries. Yes, you can make the walls bigger to slow down the process, but that makes it also very heavy and expensive to store.

- It only reaches its advantage of the energy density at either insanely high pressure or low temperature. Both come with their own technical challenges and make it either impractical or down right dangerous (not considering its spontaneous combustion).

- It is highly explosive and very easy to ignite. Should it ever leak and mix with air, it is bound to lead to a catastrophe. This is actually much worse than with regular gasoline or even batteries.

Now, what would be better IMO? Small / short hydrocarbons such as methane (a gas at room temperature) or methanol (a liquid at room temperature):

- Methane is still dangerous to handle, but well understood and even allowed to be used in housing. Methanol on the other hand is hard to ignite and can be mixed with water to make it inflammable, thus completely safe to store. Even this water methanol solution can still be directly used in fuel cells.

- A leak of methane is still disastrous, especially if it does not burn because of its environmental impact. However, a complete spill of methanol is barely any issue at all compared to all the other options. It quickly dilutes and is bio degradable.

- A downside is the reduced energy density, but storage is really easy and cheap so that should make up for that.

- It can easily work with existing infrastructure. Pipelines, storage tanks and trucks all exists already and methane as well as methanol are among the most traded chemicals in the world.

- Combustion engines could continue to be used, they wouldn't need a catalyst anymore and not produce any toxic gases such as carbon-monoxide. Also, the practical power efficiency of fuel cells is not that much better than that of combustion engines. Though, that might be because way more R&D optimization went into combustion engines so far.

The last two are important points, people often forget the tremendous environmental impact of completely replacing all infrastructure.

Just like hydrogen, most methane and methanol today comes from other hydrocarbons, in other words fossil fuels. However, that could change e.g. by using solar power and electrolysis / electrocatalysis. So my point is, the world should bury the hydrogen idea and go for methanol instead.

Please correct me if I am wrong in any of these points, I am here to learn ;)
Finger pointing is not productive for resolving climate change. The US and Europe have done their fair share of getting CO2 levels where they are today. And the fact that the likes of China, India, etc are now also polluting at a disturbing scale is indeed bad news. But the bottom line is that we all need to burn a lot less fuel.

It's not about who's most or least guilty of this but about how we can collectively stop burning fossil fuel ASAP. It's not about fairness, sacrifices, or feeling good about things but just about discouraging known bad things (like burning fossil fuel) collectively and stimulating things that actually achieve something and move the needle.

I think when it comes to general aviation, a strong financial incentive to do that in a more fuel efficient way would have some impact. Just look at what incentive programs are doing for electrical vehicles. Electrical planes are not far behind and there are a few companies in this space with working products that could probably benefit from a little help. It's not that different.

I actually am one of those people that would take flying lessons if it was a little cheaper. Seems like a really fun thing to do. Do I need to fly. Nope, this would be purely for my own entertainment. It's definitely bad for the environment, and there is absolutely no need for gallons of fuel to be burned every hour I'd be flying. Fuel prices and the cost of flying are definitely helping me stay on the ground. I'd love to have a cheaper, electrical, option. I don't see that that would be less fun and it would be less harmful.
It doesn't answer your question, but for solutions that address the systemic issue at your organization, I offer two things that have been proven (in my life) to be effective:

First, without hiring more people, I would advise contacting your closest University and ask about graduate faculty who offer grant writing courses. For a small fee, they can provide training and materials for your staff.

Better, though, would be to target a non-technical grant writer and integrate that person into your team. Any communication for an exterior audience would flow through that person. I say non-technical, because that helps you avoid jargon and other "meaningless" items for exterior audiences. I also say specifically grant writer instead of technical writer because technical writers focus on ensuring all material is included, whereas grant writers also ensure that all material is digestible by human people. This person also learns your organization and can help target professional development for folks who might need it - it's all about creating a talent pipeline.

Source: I am a career grant writer, and any technical writing, especially areas as, for lack of a better word, arcane as tech writing can be vastly improved by succinct grant writers. I have contracted for companies in the past, but so few actually want to make systemic changes; mostly they want quick fixes and immediate solutions.

When I was in grade school in the 70's, I bought a used book with my allowance. It had a pristine $100 bill in it, presumably used for a bookmark. I think I paid $2 for it or something. Needless to say, I had never seen $100 before. I was filthy rich! I still remember the shock and joy.

Still silly considering their solution is a large amount of complexity for limited benefit. Most roads have lower speed limits (thus aerodynamic drag is not nearly as significant) and long-haul trucking isn't really a thing in the American or Aussie sense... Far more rail networks, less distances to drive.

Like, they're being rolled out now... Electric vehicles actually make sense in Europe (distances between most places are short).

I agree with you on that, a few customers have called me up to make sure I'm not a criminal. It doesn't seem to be an issue for 99% of my users though. I don't do anything with the documents or data in them, they get deleted quickly and automatically as well.
I buy interesting looking books from Thrift stores, and the weirder the better.

I found a copy of a book called, "You are becoming a Galactic Human":

https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/you-are-becoming-a-galactic-hu...

Which was weird, but that's not the strangest thing I've ever found IN a book.

That spotlight belongs to a thrifted copy of "Be Here Now" by Ram Dass:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/41580312-be-here-now

Which is also a very strange and interesting book, but inside of it, bought from a thrift store, I found a pressed Marijuana leaf, which I still have. I would have thought that they would at least riffle the pages of the books to make sure there was no money or anything in it but somehow this leaf slipped through.

> calls into question whether I can trust ANY product listings on AMZN

I have this same problem, so I end up doing extra research both on and off amazon to try to be sure the product is legit. This boils down to time and work on my part, and when it gets to the point where I get frustrated or distracted, Amazon doesn't get a purchase from me. I suppose they're just too big and have too much momentum to care, but _eventually_ they will fall from their high position because they have become big and lazy.
The inflation we're experiencing is actually demand-led. Contrary to what you may believe demand has been elevated since Covid-19 and supply quickly bounced back.

Oil and gas price increases are due to high industrial and demand. Their supply is at record levels.

What is truly insane is inflation being greater than 10% and interest rates being only c. 2%. There is a reason why the BoE theoretically targets 2% above all other metrics. Unfortunately they have significantly deviated from this.

The only way for commodity prices to decline, or at least remain level, is a concerted increase across the board by the major banks to reduce demand.
I see quite many solutions. Delegation, that is someone local do the site visits. Or maybe some VR/AR remote presence.

And for parts maybe this supply chain crunch have proven that we should stock more stuff locally... So replacement would be ready near enough.
The notion that religious stories provide models for decent human behavior is fairly solid, but then so do other forms of literature (be like Frodo, for example). This is called the 'utilitarian' argument, I believe.

As far as the nature of reality, I like this quote:

"Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic."
― Frank Herbert, Dune

There are some religious traditions that take this view, perhaps Sufi mysticism, perhaps Zen Buddhism, and even some scientific concepts like quantum logic are analogous.

Writing an import handler for the json files is not more difficult than writing an import handler for email threads. And you want the import to reproduce what you just exported and since the source was not an actual email thread you'll have to stick quite a lot of additional information into many X-.. fields in the email headers to be able to reconstruct the original issues on import.

If you want it to be in email format it would make more sense to just write a small tool that just converts the json files into email threads after the export as an additional processing step.
I use the phrase "God hole", introduced by TV show It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, to refer to the phenomenon mentioned in the article. If you're familiar with the show it may seem crass to use that phrase to generalize incredibly complicated philosophy, but it succinctly allegorizes many peoples desire to attach to something greater than them that provides a sense of belonging, identity, and purpose. For example, having been raised with no religion or "greater power", I "filled" my God hole with learning to program as a kid and particularly studying math as an undergrad - math and the processes required to understand and "do" it made me feel as close to a higher power as I can imagine.

How and why the God hole is filled varies wildly per person, but the desire to do so does seem to be ubiquitous. I've struggled a lot with nihilistic thought in the past - e.g "why do anything? If you look at a big enough picture the sun will explode and nothing will ever matter or be remembered". I speculate that a major downside of higher levels of consciousness/awareness, like those found in humans, is knowing their own insignificance and normality relative to the grand scheme of the universe. I speculate filling the "God hole" and the aforementioned nihilistic perspective is a direct response to that awareness. It could even be argued that, from an evolutionary standpoint, it's important for most people to fill their God hole so they feel like they should be doing _something_ as the species would otherwise die.

tl;dr if something that fills a "God hole" is an interface in the programming sense, conspiracy is one of many implementations of the interface
Wasn't the whole point of YOLO to be something you "ironically" shout while doing something that might very well get you dead?
I think the reason that the charge is that high is because they are targeting 1. people who are already in the field i.e. employed and have source of income and 2. people who are serios about it.

I guess I can chime in here.

I met my current boss in school. We did a project together. I later learned he was a VP of a midsize company. I asked if he needed an intern to build some stuff, he agreed.

I have been building stuff for them for 5 years now as a full stack individual contributor. I am well compensated. I work whenever I want, some times more some times less. I definitely have to focus on keeping my skills sharp, and go out of my way to learn new things.

I have plenty of other offers but none compelling enough for me to leave this setup.

How can you get in a position like this? Network. You need to meet people who hold high positions, show them what you can do and build trust.

You could also look at things that may affect YOU. A lot of non-tech things could use a dev. You could develop something and offer it cheaply to first few individual/companies and test it out.

but if the primary contribution to pollution is outsourcing, then doing their part means either less outsourcing or helping the countries that are being outsourced to.

even if the USA is responsible for indias pollution, at the end of the day it is still india that needs to reduce their pollution.

EDIT: people seem to misunderstand what i am trying to say.

i am not saying that the USA does not pollute. nor am i claiming that india pollutes more than the USA. all i am saying is that pollution that happens in india needs to be stopped in india, and pollution that happens in the USA needs to be stopped in the USA. the question is not who is responsible, the question is, who is in the position to implement a change. the USA can reduce their own pollution, but they can't stop pollution in india without indias cooperation. at best they can stop investments that cause pollution, and make other investments that help india reduce pollution. or they can stop importing products whose creation increases pollution. but either way india needs to contribute to that effort by making laws that enable a reduction of pollution in their country. the USA can't do that for them.
"I was just hallucinating new data points!"
You misread the post. That was just an example. A niche dark souls forum wouldn't have 500k users lol.
This gets me thinking of a recent example I was going "down the rabbit hole" reading about, which is the supposed existence and subsequent coverup of a mid-90's movie starring Sinbad and a kid, possibly Jonathan Brandis.

Long story short, the comedian Sinbad hosted a Sinbad the Sailor movie (or movies) on some cable channel, and for the skit he was dressed in clothes similar to those a stereotypical genie might wear. IIRC there was one segment where a kid came on board his ship, and very well could have been Jonathan Brandis trying to cross-promote a show he was also on.

But "the internet" took this memory, combined with a vague similarity to the old Shazzan cartoon, and a vaguer similarity of that to the movie Kazaam, and decided there was a movie called "Shazam" starring Sinbad which explained everyone's vague memory of these sketches. I myself had this vague memory, so at first I found the idea of such a movie very plausible. Searching for evidence, however, turns up nothing, and then you find two prevailing schools of thought: One, that there was a movie, but it was so bad it tanked Sinbad's career, and because of that and/or Jonathan Brandis's death was completely removed from circulation and scrubbed from internet references. Or two, that the movie was real and pretty good, but only existed in a parallel universe, and some of us mysteriously got our consciousness transplanted from bodies in that universe to identical ones in this universe which has merely a few banal differences like that.

The second is not too unlike a lot of internet philosophy discussions, but the first is a good example of a conspiracy theory. The idea of a movie being so bad it's scrapped and all copies destroyed isn't too far fetched, so it takes a little bit of research to uncover a complete lack of any corroborating evidence, and the denial of those involved, to see that the theory falls apart.

When facing doubts about your own memory and experience, it can be tempting to accept an explanation that a prominent group in the community is giving you rather than doing your own research and forming your own opinions. I would not be surprised if it were a naturally evolved mechanism.

Do you have any benchmarks for how well the CM4 works with spinning disks? I briefly skimmed the docs but couldn't find it.
I'm not going to blame them directly, because there's likely some thick layer of people in the middle who are deciding at a purely $$$ strategic level how to make and sell stuff. They're commissioning the manufacturers to cut as many corners as possible.
This concept seems great, and I work for a very large company shown in the "trusted by" section. I also noticed that you have a quote from an engineer at my company who does not exist in the company directory or on LinkedIn. I cannot find any information about a subscription on our intranet. Are the companies shown in the "trusted by" section actually subscribers, or are these placeholders for now?

> Ironically, Sir Isaac Newton (whom I'd consider a scientist) actually earned a Bachelor of Arts

Bachelor of Science didn't exist until the mid 19th century. Historically, the four faculties of arts, law, divinity, and theology each had bachelors and terminal (eventually standardized as doctor for all except arts, and master for arts) degrees. The explosion of other degrees (and masters as an intermediate degree, rather than a terminal one, in many fields) is a relatively recent phenomenon.
>I knew I was making more

>But in either case there’s really no upside to disclosing.

There certainly is upside to discussing for anyone earning less than median. But as you write, as long as everyone thinks they are earning more than the median, individually they have no upside.

Obviously, everyone cannot be earning more than median, but more importantly, price transparency shows the movement of supply and demand curves, across industries and even across businesses in the same industry.

The real solution is not to leaf blow your lawn.
All of the VPS providers that I know of that say they are green are just buying carbon offsets. Some of them have solar panels on their datacenters but that barely makes up a tiny fraction of the power they use. I do not know of any datacenters that have hundreds of acres of solar panels and rooms of batteries and inverters to entirely power their fleet but I could be wrong. Dig deep if a company claims to use green energy unless you are including carbon offsets as an acceptable compromise.
