An ebook is only marginally cheaper to distribute than a printed book. If you're doing a reasonable sized print run, it's only going to cost you a dollar or two to print a book.

Most of the cost is in labor to write and edit the book, which still needs to happen for ebooks.
I don't think i am pushing for feeling good. I am just suggesting that we should be the change we want to see at a low level. Be the good neighbour (literally). This change in culture would permeate creating good people, which would continue to do good things. These days we either pay taxes so others do good for us, or we donate money, for the same reason. We need to go to the local community centres to represent the interests of those in need, and tackle problems of poverty directly. These days there is a disgust in people about poor people. They are a "problem" and not only in the sense of "poverty is a problem" but also in the sense that "it is a problem for me to have to look at them". In engaging directly we view them more as people and we can try to connect again, rather than the only connection they have is with some local govt representative who needs to be paid to speak to them.
You’ve already lived through artificial gas shortages since February 2021 after fracking and gas pipelines were shut down, so that’s demonstrably incorrect. Less easy to spot you’ve seen policy of not building new refineries and oil fields.

Likewise you can see degrowth in food supply pushed by governments in Sri Lanka, Netherlands, Belgium and Germany etc. in the US the “inflation reduction bill” spends 20 billion to put farmland out of use and put regulation in place to make the remainder farmers farming harder like in Sri Lanka.
I live in an apartment building with no EV charging capabilities in the parking garage. This is my #1 problem with EVs at the moment.

But your point is well founded too.
Tax based on vehicle weight, too. Heavier vehicles damage roads faster a lot than do lighter vehicles.

> For example, while a truck axle carrying 18,000 pounds is only 9 times heavier than a 2,000-pound automobile axle, it does 5,000 times more damage.

Sure, this would make goods cost more (when applied to delivery vehicles) but we're all paying that cost anyway.

A HAND (head and neck device) could help, as could a roll cage (most vehicles have some roll protection built in - you can see cars and trucks stacked on top of each other at junkyards). Five point harness is a bit better than a normal belt, but we already have a significant number of vehicle fatalities where the occupants are not wearing the belts provided already. So it could make it worse as five-point is more annoying.

Arguably the strengthening of the roll-cage in vehicles has lead to the a-pillar problem. https://www.thewisedrive.com/the-a-pillar-problem/ - my small modern car has a much wider a-pillar than my massive boat from the 60s.
Or, instead of the "fuck you get mine" mentality that I hate about living in the USA, maybe we could try to drive more safely and defensively with a sedan that doesn't roll over and has nice crumple zones?
Sure, I get all of that. As I touched on in my other comment[1] I had to learn this, too. I think me-from-ten-years-ago would have posted a very similar comment as yours.

Even if it's completely learned scripted behaviour that you don't really understand, that's still a win for everyone involved. But I think that with time and effort a sizeable part (not everyone) of autistic/neurodivergent folk can understand these things at least to some degree too. At least, I was able to and I know some other folks who were too.

> What could help is to realize I am not actually trying to be dismissive, point out that my question might be interpreted as such, and then move on.

Yes, I fully agree; I try hard to look past people's failings in general and not to get upset too quickly at things that don't really matter. But ... people have emotional responses that aren't really rational, and not everyone has that kind of attitude.

And the end of the day – and this really applies to a lot of things – I can't really control other people's behaviour, feelings, or attitudes. The only thing I am in control of is me. So I focus on that, rather than saying "other people need to adjust", because you will have very limited success with that at best.

(This of course doesn't mean we should accept wildly inappropriate or harmful behaviour like, say, racism or other forms of blatant discrimination, just that vague "emotional feelings" like a response to a well-intentioned question are not likely to get "fixed" any time soon across all of society, as these kind of emotions are part of "the human condition").

I do wonder about this sometimes. When free services make their service worse in the interest of monetizing. Is it entitled for people to feel upset by that? Well I wouldn't say it's entitled to feel a certain way. It may be that psychologically it's natural for people to react this way and maybe companies like Gitlab would do well to remember this going forward. But it can also lead to situations where users are bullying a service that is fundamentally reasonable.

Only pipeline connection from Russia to the Baltics is this pipeline (Balticconnector) as it connects to the Finnish gas grid that has its own pipeline to Russia and through the national grids and the pipeline between Lithuania and Poland that I guess allows access to the Russian pipeline in Poland.

So no clue where Estonia would get that Russian gas from.

How would a non Indian person even tell? Is it really all in the last name?

My R730 averages at around 100-200W with two 12-core CPUs, 128GB RAM and 8 12-14TB drives.

I take no position on the broader issue of the article, but I was shocked to see that Isaac Chotiner (a repeat India-related article writer at New Yorker) failed to mention that Narendra Modi is an OBC in the context of describing the BJP's caste base.

> They wanted to be super green so lets go with sun and wind

This is a complete mischaracterization of why Germany invested so much into renewables. Like... 20 years ago? Germany saw the writing on the wall when it comes to how they were getting their energy which at the time was mostly coming from coal. They didn't want to go Nuclear for whatever reason so that left renewables and natural gas which wasn't preferred but it was still significantly better.

They didn't do it just to "be super green". They did it because coal is all around bad and wasn't the future that Germany wanted--and they were right. They absolutely made the right decision back then and investments by the German government are a big reason why solar is the cheapest form of energy right now (thanks Germany!).

If anything they didn't invest enough in renewables. They obviously didn't expect the effects of global warming to come this quickly. A big reason why electricity is so expensive is because the rivers in France that supply water to their nuclear reactors dried up. I mean, how do you predict something like that happening even 10 years ago? Even if that was a possibility included in some climate change report how seriously would politicians take such a prediction?

There's zero chance that would be a direct attack by AFU. It's _possible_ it was some sort of sabotage operation (if so, it's much more likely to be Russians who oppose the war), but it's also a wooden barracks building... structure fires are a thing that happen for a whole range of reasons.
Honestly I think coming up with ways to get people to want smaller cars is the way to go. I don’t drive a big truck and I don’t understand the decisionmaking that goes into buying one. I’m hesitant to make rules that apply only to other people doing something I don’t understand.
I tried playing it a few years ago, along with a similar offering. I couldn't really figure out how to get started, and what buttons to press. So I lost interest quickly.
Why not raise the price of the car by $1500 and then offer three "free" years of onstar?
> Also, I suspect from your focus on syntax that you're new to the field of programming

10+ years including low-level embedded stuff in C/C++ and everything in between.

On the contrary, I would argue that someone working in non-web code for 10+ years could easily have an antiquated view of what the modern developer experience looks like. JS/TS is miles ahead in terms of developer productivity than many other languages. Talking about the long compile-refresh cycles, poor module systems, lack of good debugger support, real-time test runners, etc.

Most JS devs have been using the same language for a very long time now, whereas non-web devs are jumping from Ruby to Scala to Go to Rust to Zig, and then the next thing.

> TypeScript has one type of string, Rust has dozens, because String and OsString and CString each have different semantics

The problem I see is that I'm sure there are a ton of Rust projects that don't want to do anything particularly low-level with a string. They want to operate on it in the same way a JS program would. But they are forced to grapple with all this complexity. I think the issue is probably that Rust was never designed for high-level kind of stuff. Like you wouldn't build a web app or web server in Rust. You might build a performant web server framework like nginx, but you wouldn't want to write the business logic in it.

That's why I'd love to see a simple language that you could easily drop down into low-level stuff when necessary without a giant context switch and new compiler toolchain.

There's no magic ASIC on the Kobo that transfers the stream of bytes into the stream of pixels; ePub support is in the Kobo software. Amazon now has this support in their software. The fact that the conversion software runs on Kindle servers (and not on the Kindle device) is insignificant to me - what's important is I can have an ePub and can read it on the Kindle.
If each new satellite can put down more spot beams, you can cover more cells for longer. With the spectrum they have, they could put 8 beams on a cell with 100% duty cycle, which is probably around 3.2-4Gbps.
To the contrary. The upper middle class is the group with the most money and most power to change things. There’s not enough absurdly rich people to change voting patterns, and while they’re individually very rich in the aggregate they’re not a large enough tax base to pay for social programs.
I do a fair amount of pre-seed and angel investing and I've seen a _massive_ increase in the number of very early businesses that have a "product" that they've been able to build with no/low code tools. It gives non-tech founders a set of options they've never had before, in my experience.

That obviously isn't viable for all early businesses and even the ones it is viable for eventually need to hire engineering teams to build their products, but I love how much more accessible these tools have made shipping something basic.
It seems like you are describing the norm. The prime advice for everyone is networking, networking, networking, isn’t it? And it’s not what you know, but who you know. Going to the right schools to be able to make the right friends, etc.
Yeah, sure! I however want to understand if something untowards is happening between team members. I might be blind, others amongst eachother might not necessarily be.
I think they have even less amount of effort that they can spend. And all of that is spent keeping the builds up to date, the infra up to date and working, and other low level things like that. I wish they get enough resources to employ more people to increase efforts on QA, UX and other such things.
I think it's more direct than that, most of the people preaching academic wokeness are actively against the existence of a middle class and see the middle class as an enemy, because the middle class is the successful outcome of balanced capitalistic policies. By forcing the divide, it allows them secure power by speaking to the serfs and using their support to bolster themselves, while they maintain a privileged position amongst the elite. This has always been the case with academics, and why academia preached the very means of their own downfall in the earlier part of the 20th century in those nations that decided to take up arms against the bourgeoisie.

You're also absolutely correct that anybody with an understanding of political philosophy is appalled at the replacement of the more dire and obvious economic challenges that come with class stratification with endless ink being spilled about DEI that doesn't include any acknowledgement of economics or class. It's obvious that most of the DEI work, especially in the academy, is a distraction from truer economic divides which exist within Western society, and that the ideology acting as a replacement for personal religion does not have any measuring boundaries to allow for a balanced perspective.
I live in one of the few states in the US with no sales taxes. It boggles my mind when I go to a store in another state, and buy a $0.99 soda, and the total comes to $1.07. I have also never understood why the price isn't including the tax.
That's exactly what I mean. You can't do that on minimum wage anywhere in America now.
Sounds like you are a Brahmin mad about Dalits messing with your status.

>If you don't know the arbitrary classifications of groups, and you're making decisions on something tangible that presumably affects the person's skill set, then is it discrimination if it correlates with some arbitrary distinction you're not aware of?

The problem was clearly stated to be discrimination from other Indians against lower class Indians, NOT white managers unknowingly discriminating against low class Indians.
Or in the case of [big tech company] interns, getting matched to a team purely for being Chinese. For a while there was a big Mandarin-only mailing list that coordinated this type of ingroup selection within [big tech company]. HR found out and shut it down. It was unclear whether those running the list realized what they were doing was highly illegal.

If they had just waited a few years it would still be illegal, but also the open practice of nearly every big hiring department. "We especially encourage AAPI, BIPOC, neurodiverse, nonbinary and LGBTIA+ candidates to apply." That's quoted nearly word-for-word from job listings I'm reviewing. Wonder what that means for my application, as someone who falls outside those boxes and didn't go to an Ivy. Really gets me thinking about politics.
Once again, we should never take a single study as proof of anything. Whether or not anything new has been learned will be demonstrated by repeatability, application of the new research, and time.

You can't say it's definitely not ego. You can say there are regulatory issues that incentivize larger trucks, but if people didn't want them, they wouldn't buy them. Their mere availability doesn't explain it. It's a statement vehicle, that's how it's marketed. It's masculine, it's imposing, and it has the excuse of utility to assuage fears of appearing vain (a stereotypically feminine trait).

It can be other things, too: it can be useful to move shit around, it can be safe relative to the car you pancaked, it can lug your family around, it's the result of poorly thought out regulations. But it is also a vanity purchase. It's not bad as the justifications people would make when they bought Hummers back in the 2000s, but it's closer to that than a sheer calculation of utility and efficiency, which should be obvious because they don't have to be that goddamn big to move things around.

Disclaimer: I drive a Honda Fit. These trucks could turn me into paste. I'm irritated that I have to consider upsizing just to ensure my infant son survives a collision with a vehicle whose driver can't see in front of them. But I confess my car is a vanity statement, too. I bought it because I won't have to go to the shop as often (fingers crossed) and I won't have to buy another car for good long while. But it also has the vibe of being smart and urbane. Americans very much buy their cars based on image.
GraphQL is safer than SQL, but it can't be more performant, as it gets translated to SQL server-side.

That said, you don't have to choose only one of the two. At my company we use a GraphQL backend for simple SELECTs which are the vast majority of front-end queries - no reason to involve a backend engineer for them. However, traditional backend calls are used for data modification commands (to enforce business rules server-side) and for performance-critical queries (to tune the raw SQL query/ies as necessary).
Complexity is definitely the problem. I think the main problem with most LC/NC solutions is that they offer TOO MUCH customizability. I think there will be more in roads when it becomes a little more opinionated. People always think they want all these features and weird use cases but they forget about any kind of 80/20 or 90/10 rules.
As an example of the sort of societal distortion I'm talking about, consider Elon Musk, who wanted people to buy his cars rather than take trains, and so lied about a fantastical system of tunnels he would surely build, and... well, the quote is "So the Hyperloop, for example, he admitted to his biographer that the reason the Hyperloop was announced—even though he had no intention of pursuing it—was to try to disrupt the California high-speed rail project and to get in the way of that actually succeeding."[0]

That's a recent example of a single person behaving incredibly badly, but a list of people using their wealth to do things like disport beach access, reduce housing options, badly mistreat employees, and so on, it would be endless.

No.

But we will continue to see domain-specific tooling that require less "coding". There are plenty of "no/low code" CRUD app builders, tools that manipulate components on a canvas to create web pages, even tools to integrate different systems together. But the second you need to go off the trail, you've now got a big problem: you're constrained to doing things that don't break the no/low code environment, and that's a lot harder than rolling your own components and customizations.

Anything interesting enough to "disrupt" tech development will, almost by definition, not be possible in a no/low code environment.

I was involved with a project to bring these low-code / no-code tools into a financial company. I think its almost all driven out of the idea that software developers are expensive and development takes a long time. The "Dream" is that the business analyst or financial analyst or whomever automates their own job away, or that they write the business process (While being paid half as much!). Of course the issue is that they can't easily do this while they are also doing their own job, mistakes are made and they need "real" software developers to come in, it takes just as long or longer, etc.
