The power of marketing works best when least expected, and for some reason this data-driven fact-based engineering bunch is either just not (surprisingly!) not cognisant of the mechanics of investors using their brains and are gullible, star struck, almost willfully ignorant (seeing the lengths the innocence of the wealthy is sometimes defended). Or people are cognisant, and then must be participating in the charade, on the basis of greed; not biting the hand that feeds you is good exercise for pitching.

What other mechanisms could be at play for this worship?

Anyway thanks for your concise comment; it could not be more on point!
I see a vivid imagination and overextrapolation working tag-team in this post. Evidence, not so much.
Indeed.

Dartmouth in the 1960s and 1970s, with the Dartmouth Time-Sharing System (with a BASIC-driven UI), had

* computer terminals everywhere, including libraries, dorms, offices, and even the medical clinic

* many classes (not just computer science or math) requiring use of the terminals for various tasks

* a widespread culture among students and faculty (again, not just computer science or math) of use of the terminals for work and play (games, email, chat)

* more computer terminals at dozens of off-campus locations, including high schools, other universities, and Dartmouth alumni clubs

It is not an exaggeration to say that Dartmouth c. 1970 had the world's most widely used and widespread computer network, exceeding anything at MIT, Stanford, or UIUC.
Hydro makes major changes to the local ecosystem and kills a lot of wildlife that can't breathe water. Although p\enty of things can live in a dam they're not what was there before. It also makes major changes downstram

People like to equivocate this with making entire countries uninhabitable or ongoing destruction.

It also requires vast quantities of concrete (and thus has high one time emissions)

We should still avoid it where we can now that we know better.

Tesla is, I believe (and I'm too lazy[2] to try to look up where I read this) the most repurchased brand on the market today. The used market for these cars is literally priced above new vehicles[1]! Were you really not aware? Does that maybe change your opinion?

[1] Which is to say, on balance Tesla owners won't sell their cars even if they could make a profit doing so.

I speak from two types of experience - both a user of CAE and a developer of CAE.

There's no money in CAD by itself, meaning just the drawing part. Drafting is a low-value activity often performed by low-value workers who don't write software. Even if they wanted to, they couldn't make software tools for themselves. It's not like when web developers make web development tools, or when machinists make machinist tools.

CAD is sort of a piazza where the value a company gets from it comes from everything that's attached to it - reporting, CAE, CAM, etc. And they do invest in those things, often quite heavily.

It's big business to create these tools. The investment and expertise that go into them is enormous. That's why many of them cost as much as hiring another employee. They do at least as much work as one. They keep up with all the latest and greatest regulations, technologies, manufacturing processes, etc. And they give you access to a lot of valuable proprietary information.

Even if a company threw twice as much money at open source CAD, they'd still get basically none of that. They would just have an expensive drawing tool. It would be basically worthless and worth almost nobody's time.

For customers with low requirements, the less expensive tools do the job at just the right price point where it doesn't make sense to invest in advancing something like freecad.

Also, many companies in many countries are pretty much "allowed" to pirate the really expensive software. Once they get big enough, the software company will ask them to start paying some reduced amount. So there's an unofficial free tier that's way better than any open source toy.

Unless I'm misreading the chart, it seems to compare quite well to coal and oil, and in line with natural gas. Why would that be contentious?

The only quibble I'd have is that dams serve multiple purposes -- they could help prevent flooding and help out with agriculture. So in some sense a dam could be helping to save lives (apart from the obvious benefits of... having electricity). This seems like a unique perk.

I grew up on home made hot sauce and I don't think anyone ever fermented anything. I just remember ground chili peppers, salt, chop up whatever firm fruits (green mangoes, etc.) or vegetables were on hand and add enough vinegar or lime juice so it wasn't dry. Put that in a jar and there's your sauce.
The term NIMBY was originally intended to refer to people like this: A liberal who wanted all sorts of services—but not in _my_ back yard! That was to distinguish them from conservatives who were open about not wanting services at all.
What if that legitimacy is merely a story crafted by his press department? It so obviously will help interacting with his target audience: devs who take pride in technical skills and knowledge.

Why do you give people who can easily afford to have a team craft an image the benefit of believing it? I categorically don't. Not because I am of bad faith, no, precisely because I trust people to do what's in their interest: make sure your fund gets to talking with your audience.
Nice! Great that people have the choice to get their preferred color and didn't feel unduly pressured to match some centuries-old drab orange color. I once lived in a house that was remodeled in the 1970s and it had horrible garish orange carpet and green vinyl floors! Very happy with my white car.

Creating novel assets for games is crying for automation. Capitalism had reached its limit in optimizing the efficiency in that front, that most 3A games nowadays feels like unfinished. They already hired an army of artists but still the production isn't up to speed.

Some automation like DallE-2 will surely turns up the speed. I think some shuffling of work force is inevitable, but art is about idea and expression, a model can realize it but it can't come up with cohesive one on its own.

So art will change, but I think it will be changed for the better
I'd say Cloudflare is a great option. They don't add any markup to the domain cost or have renewal fees. You just pay what is charged by registries and ICANN.
The very term "digital nomad" was coined by a specific subset of "digital nomads" who are uniquely focused on glorifying/marketing the concept of the "digital nomad" lifecycle. Thus focusing on exotic and foreign locations. It needs to be exciting, glamorous, etc because it is a marketing asset to sell some product or service.

That being said, as a former "digital nomad" who did it america[0][1] I definitely recommend it. Our country is as vast and beautiful as it is mundane and ugly.

> Is it mostly because of the appeal to live more cheaply in many other countries?

It helps to have friends and stay with them but if you are remote working for an average tech company that shouldn't be a factor. The digital nomad lifestyle blogger is selling to an audience beyond that, thus the emphasis on cheapness. Sure, you can't stay at an airbnb in NYC for months at a time, but Richmond, VA you can. Lots of cheap[2], weird towns in America with things to do.

no, he's not hypocritical. Now, I don't like MA himself, so this is not a defense of somebody I like, this is a defense of basic Econ 101.

Let's say you own a large amount of real estate in a city, much acreage in the wealthy part, much acreage in the middle class part, and much acreage in the poor part of town. As such, you have a good bit of influence at city hall, your development projects employ so many people and the taxes you pay sustain the school system.

The city wants to build an airport, everybody agrees it is necessary for growth, you agree, the labor unions agree, everybody. Where do you recommend building it? Should you build it uptown and destroy the property values in the wealthy part of town? How much lower would the property values drop in the poor part of town? See where this is going?

The model doesn't have to have one person owning all of this property, it's just easier to see that way, where one person makes the tradeoff, but the market will make the same tradeoff if instead, it could all be owned by individual people, or it could all be owned by a progressive socialist government: you still don't build the airport near the nicest real estate, you build it by the most distressed real estate where it will have little effect on prices. If you want to let the market solve this problem, auction off the right to build the airport to the resident stakeholders. The poor people will jump at a lower price than the other classes of people.

So, advocating for an airport (or more housing) and then saying "but don't build it here" is not hypocritical, it's something I like to call rational.

Now, should poor people be subjected to all the worst ills, the sewage treatment plant, the power plant, the airport, etc? Regardless of where you stand on that, the solution to improving the lives of poor people is still not building the airport in the best neighborhood. If your socialist government wants to confiscate the rich neighborhood so the commissars have places to live, they still don't want an airport there. If your govt confiscates it and rents it out to proles who want to pay more for housing and dress in rags, vs the proles who want nicer clothes in a shabbier apartment, it still does not make sense to destroy that value.

There are not enough sites for pumped hydro.

Chemical energy is dense, easy to store, and you need methane for stuff like fertilizer.

Solar energy is basically free ($30/MWh and falling rapidly). The solutions we'lp use are the ones which scale and the ones which are cheapest for storage as it will be much more expensive than the energy.

For storing for a day, that's probably sodium batteries as the cost per MWh through is lowest.

For storing for a year, you want to minimize cost per MWh stored. Right now this looks like methane, maybe hydrogen or for heating, thermochemical batteries.

This would be great for utilities, who could keep stranded carbon burning assets for their operational lifetime.

Although the carbon emissions would be net neutral, Such a system would not be greenhouse gas neutral. Some methane from the natural gas plants will leak out. This is a gas that is 25 times more potent than CO2 over a 100 year timeframe [1].

Nitrous oxide, which is a byproduct of the combustion process, will be emitted and this gas is 298 times as potent as CO2 over a 100 year timeframe.

Even the dissent shows cluefulness, pointing out that “although the Google search engine system operates in a "fully automated" manner 140 , the systems of which it is comprised are designed by humans and operate as they are intended to operate” [¶108].

“Here, Google was fixed with knowledge that Mr Defteros claimed the material was defamatory when a solicitor [...] lodged a removal request on Google's website for the Underworld Article to be removed from Google's search results. Google was provided with the Uniform Resource Locator ("URL"). The removal request form was provided and generated by Google. [...] Google was therefore aware of the defamatory character of the Underworld Article a reasonable time after having been given notice and the defence of innocent dissemination cannot be established.” [¶113]

“Contrary to Google's submission, its vast repository of information obtained and organised by the web crawler and indexing programs is not "an undifferentiated mass until a search is requested". And in crawling and indexing, news articles are a particular, if not primary, focus. A webpage which appears to be a news article, importantly, is separately crawled – identified – and indexed as such a page 181 . "Important" webpages are crawled more often 182 . The web crawler program and the ranking algorithm's focus on "important" webpages, the crawling of such pages for updated data more frequently, and the PageRank and freshness clues used by the ranking algorithm then combine to produce search results in response to a search query 183.

The design of the Google search engine system as a whole is intended to, and does, affect the results that are produced when a user enters a particular search query. And it is for that reason that, in seeking protection for its search results under the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, Google has itself successfully argued that the design of its search engine system involves the exercise of evaluative judgment 184.” [¶123-124]

Essentially saying that “hey, you said (and the US supreme court agreed) your results are protected as free speech because you're exercising judgement in preparing them, so why should we agree that you're not exercising judgement in preparing them now?”

I started off feeling hopeful/excited by OpenAI, GPT-3, DALL-E, etc, as a creator/writer. As time has progressed and I've used these tools and other machine learning tools to create media, I've become disillusioned. It feels as if this is about to explode an existing problem, namely, there's too much content in the world already. Lowering the effort bar for content creation and generation is, in some ways, going to cause a deluge of low-quality/mid-quality content to be generated.

I wonder if we'll see a new generation of "editors" showing up to help curate and provide some guidance in terms of what to play if you're limited on time. I often go through the new releases on Steam and I'm amazed at how many games are released that have zero reviews, or less than 5 reviews, yet people are still constantly releasing more and more. I'm sure some of those games are masterpieces, but will never see the light of day.
Not everyone. People were picketing the state capitol in New York for like 3 years during the fracking boom and were successful in stopping it.

The folks without mineral rights and with worthless homes with no clean water aren’t so happy either. The company is usually bankrupt so there’s nobody to sue either.
Yes? As even after that training, fewer people have died due to nuclear energy. Cost and safety are two separate points, both need to be considered but you can't just say something is unsafe because it's costly.

Imagine someone says "you have to either pay $10 to play Russian roulette with a five chamber gun or $100 to play with a six chamber gun." Which is safer?
This is super cool and very informative. I'd love to see more sections if you add them!
Rip them out and then you'll just have a new ruling class. It will be the next layer down. Humans are not equal. Most strive to accomplish things. Put those two together and it leads to unequal results.

What false dichotomy? Either you are within the hierarchy that is humanity or you go (relatively) independent, meaning you need to produce your own food at the very least.

Instead of hating humanity for what it inherently is, maybe your anger comes from an understanding that the rules aren't fair. So maybe propose that we should strive for a world where the laws are fairer, so that people can feel that their efforts are not in vain and that they're not being taken advantage of.

>They take the lion's share of the resources, and they don't do anything useful to justify what we pay to subsidize their pampered existences.

That sounds like ideology without logic:

"They take the lion's share of the resources" -> Actually, they earn it based on the current set of laws, through some variable amount of effort.

"pampered existence" -> No need to name call. We all have different circumstances in life. Don't worry, those people you hate have their own problems and their own stressors. They're just different than yours. Just because they have plenty of food and shelter doesn't mean their lives are all smiles.

"subsidize" -> fix the laws or whatever is causing the subsidizing, if indeed there is subsidizing. Hating the players is not productive.

"they don't do anything useful" -> they run companies, they run the government, etc. Those are useful things.
Yes, sounds great.

Useless, vacant land v.s. new neighbors + taxes paid to the city.

"Yeah, but computers can't be creative!" is the last line of denial for humans who don't want to face their impending obsolescence in a field. People said the same thing about chess engines, right before chess engines defeated human beings at the game conclusively, and forever. A creative brain is a million monkeys with typewriters, plus a subjective critic judging their work. Coming up with random shit and then discriminating among the results is what creative people do. If you think "creativity" is some magical human phenomenon that can't be learned by a sufficiently complicated artificial neural net, then you either don't get creativity or you don't get neural nets. Will a computer produce the next Rembrandt? Maybe not. But the average human painter isn't the next Rembrandt: they're a schmo with a bit of mechanical talent, practicing their craft.

The reason human painting will survive is very simple: because 1) people value human-made objects independent of those objects' objective qualities, and because 2) paintings exist outside the digital world, and there is no robot sufficiently dexterous to match the skill of a painter in applying paint to a canvas. That being said, as this technology matures, lots of currently employed digital artists will no longer be needed.

If we go around replacing unsafe coal plants with safe nuclear ones, we'll definitely save a ton of lives, good idea.
Exactly. It's firstly a social problem: can you get a people to be convinced this is worth investing significant time and money in for very long stretches of time? Water management in the Low countries has now a 1500 year history, planning is not for years but centuries. Expenses are a multitude of what's spent in the Mississippi Delta. That's the stuff that is needed to control nature. The Dutch have nowhere else to go, so it's existential. The Americans have space enough and therefore no need to make sure of the value of real estate in the Mississippi Delta.

I totally agree about the cryptic-ness when it comes to useEffect and its usage, but the neat thing is that you can trivially write your own thin wrappers with better names! I think `useEffect` is the best name possible given how broad its use cases are, because it's literally for any function side effect.
Err, I'm not sure I follow sorry, is this an expression?

I want to clarify since this is getting upvoted, I still think RN is a better option than maintaining two separate apps in the vast majority of cases.

It just suffers because everybody "knows React" so how hard could it really be and people get hired into roles working on RN with very little understanding of how it's different from a web based React project.
