>I don't agree with that. Would you say this to a smoker or someone morbidly obese?

Yes. This neurotic obsession with health that categorizes every deviation from the norm as something that needs fixing rather than a choice that people make needs to stop. Smoking is bad, drinking is bad, unhealthy food is bad, staying up at night is bad. For everything that even remotely makes live fun you now have some health fixated busybody lecture you on it.
Presumably the EV charger communicates usage data with the utility and they reconcile that with the main meter before sending the bill.
> The "evidence" I have is the data from Tesla itself, which states that FSD is better than a person, so I reduced that to say "as good".

What data has Tesla provided about FSD? The only data I'm aware of is about Autopilot, and that data doesn't look very good when correctly interpreted.
Yeah I was also surprised at that comment, TikTok has significantly less ads than FB/IG, so I don’t understand why it’s being criticized for that.
My office landlords hired some goats (not from this company) to tame some overgrown bushes by a river. They arrived in a gutted school bus (which is where they slept over night). As far as I could tell, the procedure is: set up fence around area to be eaten, let out goats, and let them wander and eat for a few days. The end result wasn't very pretty, but it was remarkably effective.

> As is, I get the lower EV rates through the whole house, whenever the utility company detects that I'm charging my car

It wouldn't make much business sense for the utility to lower your rates when you are charging your car. It's usually the other way around: you charge your car when the utility rates are lower. Which utility is this? Also how are they detecting a car charging vs some other large load like an AC or electric stove?

Author didn't mention node-ipc which I think makes his point much better than supply chain attacks. In supply chain attack, some security failure leads to sneaky malware injected into the build. One could argue that cryptographic signing could solve this problem. However, in the case of node-ipc, #the author# of the package inserted malware deliberately. No package signing can help you with that. Nor can community reputation, as github did nothing about the deliberate distribution of malware from their platform.

When that is the working environment, he's right. Trust no one.

There must be some part of the attack I am missing here.

Let's say I'm an attacker and I do this. But now none of the subsequent blocks on the original chain will validate anymore because of hashes mismatching. I could of course validate new blocks but 6months+ of blocks from only one or a small number of validators (depending on how much validator capital one can amass for the attack) is going to be pretty obvious.

Unless the attacker can get a significant percentage of validators part of the attack, I can' see it work out in practice.
No one is suggesting anything should be discarded. Just that the null hypothesis be tested.
if you will look at their use cases (https://aws.amazon.com/private5g/) , it's kinda all over. When it's actually better than well designed wifi for private deployment.. hard to say. especially given scarcity of hardware that supports it.
for industrial deployments it's even overlaps with industrial 5g + slicing (or whatever it's name today) that telecoms really would like to sell.

sas operators had hope that it will be deployed in office buildings/etc to improve connectivity for people who are inside, but... wifi. also there is need in some roaming between building operator network and proper MNO (or mno deploying cbrs network in building, which is not cost effective). and there are also DAS/cellular repeaters/femtocells/etc.

> In contrast, mining can drastically improve the return on capital by operating at larger and larger scales so as to get better and better deals on equipment and electricity. That kind scaling doesn't happen with proof of stake.

Yes and No. We saw what happened to very large mining farms that got wiped out in a matter of weeks as mining was cracked down on in china. Large ETH stakers wont be forced to liquidate their stake in the event they get kicked out of their current jurisdiction. In short, uncertainty about the future of crypto regulation makes it easier to be a staker than it does a miner.

We will never see this happen, but I wish there was a legally mandated separation of web indexing services from the result ranking services. So user-facing search engines would be forced to rely on independent back-end companies for indexing the pages and storing results (in a neutral and interchangeable way), and launching a competing search engine would not involve a multi-billion-dollar investment.

In addition to that, controlling the registrar also allowed us to take advantage of features like registrar and registry locks managed by policies we had full control of. Auditing the policies of other registrars, even the supposedly secure ones, freaked us out enough to spend the money to build our own.

On a non-VRR display, I believe it's nicer to have a momentary tearline near the top of the screen than a momentary frame skip. The stutter is more noticeable than the tearline. (Some feature of how GPUs work means that tearlines landing exactly at vsync are mysteriously delayed half a frame. Maybe someone else knows why, since I don't and neither do the people I talked to.)
Reddit is the worst of all the social media considering how toxic the moderation is. You just leave the site full of anger and a desire to shout at all the misinformed on that site.

Note that if we ran out of samarium and neodymium tomorrow, we'd still use SRMs instead of induction motors. SRMs without magnets are still extremely efficient, just larger than induction motors. Despite being larger they are still cheaper as the extra weight is steel instead of copper.

SRMs had a high barrier to entry and benefitted strongly from better characterization and new electronics (SiC). Now that they're hear there isn't much point in going back to induction motors, unless copper becomes drastically cheaper.

I will also point out that neodymium is the most widespread and second most common REE, and is in fact unusually less common in China. Mines in the US are closed because of the capital and labor costs, not availability. Neodymium is >10x more common than most REEs.

See many of the reasons listed above for the non-responses. Almost none of them boil down to the reductionist generational stereotypes you’re throwing out here as if they’re fact.

Wow. Those models, particularly Imagen, are of an entirely separate calibre. None of that psychedelic foggy memory swirl that is characteristic of the space. I can see why Google Research is hesitant to release them.
Key takeaway:

This conventional formulation, though, omits an important limitation: In basically all states, you can use nondeadly force to defend your property—and if the thief or vandal responds by threatening you with death or great bodily harm, you can then protect yourself with deadly force. So in practice, you can use deadly force to protect property after all, if you're willing to use nondeadly force first and expose yourself to increased risk.

Sounds reasonable.
It gets complicated. In New York, food and clothing is not taxable. The gotcha is “prepared food”, which is taxable.

For example, an unsliced bagel is food. A sliced to order bagel is prepared food and taxable. A system like you describe would be insanely complex.

Here’s NY guidance on when a sandwich is taxable:
https://www.tax.ny.gov/pubs_and_bulls/tg_bulletins/st/sandwi...

As insane as that is, I think it makes the sales tax more progressive, as poorer people
spend a high proportion of income on food. I am always struck when I travel to a place like South Carolina, where the property taxes are low, but people with nothing are paying 9% sales taxes on food.
> Microsoft was never about computers on every desk and in every home, it was really about selling software licenses to make money!

And how would they have made money without lots of computers on lots of desks paying subscriptions?

All companies exist to make money, that’s the point.

X === make money.
Y === sell something to make money.
Z === make money.

I’m really struggling to understand your point.
Youtube is also a website first, whereas TikTok is an app first. Apps on mobile are usually harder to leave.

Active defrag has relatively negligible overhead, and assuming jemalloc even more so.

From the perspective of the goats it must feel like they're on a luxury cruise. They get whisked around to new locations every day, they get out and gorge themselves on food, then back on board to the next location and plant buffet tomorrow. Nice lifestyle!
No, remote mind reading is not possible. Local mind reading is also not possible, unless under very controlled conditions, it is possible to get a vague understanding as to which part of the brain is working hard, and even "predict" human decision a few seconds ahead.

Remote mind reading is also not really possible with thermodynamic and information theory laws. For example Shannon's channel capacity theorem, used extensively in telecommunication engineering, basically mean that even with the best antenna and best receiver and best coding and generally ideal conditions, it is not possible to receive significant data from a human brain in real time. The human brain just isn't designed to be an antenna, and even if it is, produces extremely faint electromagnetic radiation as a byproduct of signaling with electric potential.

There are also lots of people who do not have an "internal monologue," if that means anything. Once again in summary: no, and no.
Surely they aren't foolish enough to explicitly say in the contract they can't bring the game to Microsoft's platforms? It would just say "no alternate platforms allowed between the dates of ..." or similar?
I weirdly only found out about a few of these rate limiting algorithms yesterday when I was looking at rate limiting Elixir processes for a small load testing tool. Merkle Trees, bloom filters, and raft/paxos are prevalent in crypto so if you read those topics you'd know them. Hyperloglog is an HN favorite.

Numerous pools exist where you can combine your eth with others so you can stake .1 eth if you'd like.

Also, this is only 5% returns, which might really be negative if crypto crashed relative to USD.
They're pretty common in most of the East Bay hills. I've always wondered how many different herds there are though. Is it like 1-2 herds per city that move around constantly, or are there dozens of herds that spend a week vacationing in the big city every couple of months before they go back to the farm?
We've got a service in Western New York (letsgoatbuffalo.com, clever play on Let's Go Buffalo!). They used an old school bus to transport the goats, which sadly burned down. But, the Western New York community raised $16,000 via a go fund me for a new bus!
Pushing bits into a computer qualifies as tech? I guess....
Felt disillusioned a few times, changed jobs when that happened.

40+ years in electronics, from TV tx systems, RF systems, computer repair (pre-PC), electrical work, and mechanics as a bench tech, test engineer, mfg engineer, NPI engineer. Occasionally pushing bits in to board processors and PCs. Hacking h/w and s/w in odd ways. Later doing configuration control and change orders for tech companies working with tier 1 international factories. Worked with marketing, artists, IT, product mangers, purchasing, fabricators, contractors and spent ~ 4-8 years in meetings..Saw the rise of dilbert from spot on humorous, to disturbingly predictive, to not funny anymore as my job looked like it.
Retired a few years ago, consulting a bit, enjoying playing with arduinos and at-tiny85s, and volunteering.
Are the codebases behind this project open source? Would be great to have the eSIM code, the client side and the two relay codebases publicly released.
I would say that the golden years ended by 2012 (depending on age of course).

Facebook was essentially a way to connect to people outside your inner circle, and before 2012 it was a way for younger people to connect to other younger people outside school/college/university. It was similar to what Instagram does now except for the new friends feature.

Facebook works in a social environment where everyone knows your personal details and you maintain a casual-formal image (school, university...) but is useless in most other contexts. Instagram provides flexibility in who you can add, but is bad as a tool for socializing.
So a scientific paper claims to have invalidated known physics. History tells us this will go one of two ways. Either, the authors will get a Nobel prize (eventually) or it will turn into a cold fusion level debacle.

I leave you with a quote from the lead researcher with commentary from Cosmos magazine[1].

“ We let our shape-changing object move on the simplest curved space, a sphere, to systematically study the motion in curved space,” says lead researcher Zeb Rocklin, assistant professor in the School of Physics at Georgia Tech. “We learned that the predicted effect, which was so counter-intuitive it was dismissed by some physicists, indeed occurred: as the robot changed its shape, it inched forward around the sphere in a way that could not be attributed to environmental interactions.”

To make sure that the effects induced by the curvature of the robot’s space dominated, the physicists had to isolate the system as much as possible from external forces. Only then could the team ensure minimal interaction or exchange of momentum with the environment.

The curved space was produced by placing a set of motors drive on curved tracks. The tracks were then attached to a rotating shaft to produce a spherical space.

Friction was curtailed using air bearings and bushings – low heat and low mess alternatives to ball bearings. Gravity was diminished by aligning the rotating shaft with Earth’s gravity.

Who cares about “how DuckDuckGo can outperform Google”? For some users, it does. Their value proposition is privacy, which for me was appealing enough to move from Google. When I found out they were actively censoring search queries, it was enough for me to move elsewhere. Every solution does not need to be THE solution for all users. There is nothing wrong with being a niche platform focused on catering to a specific demographic. In fact, it probably allows the platform to better cater to that exact demographic.
Twitter is still the only major social media network where alternative views may be tolerated, and hence Musk was trying to buy it. Reddit is probably a better fit for your complaint.

Long-long time ago, at a Munich University, I remember Prof Schwichtenberg, who worked on software extraction from from mathematical proofs (in Scheme).

The idea is to prove that the software works.
Maybe. But have you ever considered stores that offer pick up vs. dine in options? In Ohio for instance, pick up orders of food of any kind aren't taxed, but dine-in is. So if you're at a fast food restaurant they can't magically change the prices on the menu to include tax just because they now know you're dining in.
Much much more so. Amazon KDP for print is extremely simple with zero cost, and Lightning Source is also quite low cost and simple enough to figure out. They handle printing and distribution. You just need writing, design, manuscript assembly, marketing

(Last one is hardest, as in all things)

No fixed costs other than a nominal per book annual fee at lightning. Otherwise, you only pay print costs when a book is ordered so it is impossible to lose money.
Yeah, but if you want to compete with Google your going to have to serve the answer faster. No one wants to click on webpage to find an answer to a simple question.

This shows Google is way better at understanding what the user wants when searching.

"what is another word for happy" "happy synonyms", and "happy synonym" all give the user what they want right away on Google doesn't matter how you search it.

With DDG it does matter how you search it.

Another example is another simple query like "florida capital". Google in big letters tell your what the capital of Florida. It shows you a map of the city that you can click and shows basic information on the city.

DDG gives you information on the capitol building and the first link is too the Florida Capital Bank website.

Why would I ever use DDG over Google? Other than privacy which I don't think is that big of an issue as people make it out too be on Google.
