If you can't replace the basics like battery, display, keyboard, RAM, CPU, SSD, it isn't "professional", IMO. ThinkPad really set the standard for that. Used to be able to do that on MacBooks.

Likewise, if you need to take it to an Apple Store and wait 1-2 weeks for parts to come in, again, it isn't fit for purpose versus repairing it in-house, or RMAing it fast.

So the owners can not only take what they want from renters by going higher and higher together with the other owners around. Now they even get tax money if they rent to locals xD

Crazy world
Many servers create their own user. PostgreSQL creates postgres and gives ownership of configuration and data files to it. It's especially convenient when those server softwares run on real servers or on multiuser machines. Historically single user Unix machines were the exception. They cost too much. Graphical workstations started the trend, then Linux.
It seems like that would cause problems. Right off the bat, any integrity hashes like md5 or sha256 for the original compressed files would likely be corrupted. Also, the compressed archive could have been structurally baked in a specific way that's meaningful to the customer. Zip archives in particular can have arbitrary data pretended to them.

I suppose you could speculatively decompress and then re-compress and see if you get the original compressed file back, and maybe most people happen to use the same compression implementations with default settings.
For once I wish the article was longer and would expand on the theme. For example, why did governments not think like this? Literally no country had this kind of policy. Even China_, which had so many long-term plans and executed them well, did not really overbuilt in terms of energy. They built the long-distance DC lines, which is a good start, but no generation capacity afaict.

PS. Actually France kind of did [1], but then they stopped.

Also you can use game streaming technologies such as Steam remote play over layer2 VPN and hack it to stream your desktop. Since game streaming uses mpeg4 like video compression technology and is built for low latency the lag will be less and video quality good.

The text is written in such a way to make you think that indeed Apple themselves do the same tracking which they blocked for others. The opposite is true. Apple don't track users outside of their services. Apple tracking inside their apps has always been opt-in. Meta, Google, Amazon are still free to track users inside their ecosystem, but outside tracking has become opt-in.
The OPs solution is the only valid solution they have open to them though.

What a waste. He could have made it livable and relatively self-sustaining.

Instead of "hey look at this" it could have been "hey look at this and real people live here and maintain it".

I don't know if I am technically allowed to say since it was given to us on a contract. I don't think I can name them specifically until we do a joint press release announcing the mission. However, I will say that it was a startup that basically had a lot of VC money to subsidize. It was to sun sync orbit though. Also, they have increased prices for future launches to like 25k or 30k or something like that. Mainly because of they are trying to wean off of subsidizing they said.
Unix you layer a major role in the success of the Mac in two key markets. First max was the cool box for young developers, since it provided a Unix dev environment and this such nice things as Python, ruby, reasonable c++, git, etc. when these often worked poorly on windows.
2) while emgineering software moved from Unix to windows in the early 2000s, scientific software often did not. It was however available on macs. The result is that macs took over university science departments.

Now both of these are irrelevant because of virtualization, wsl, and better windows support. But it was once a really big deal. Mac was a Unix environment that also had word and PowerPoint.

> But with Haskell, it seems a reverse process was followed. It starts with some (questionable?) assumptions like lazy evaluation is good and then builds on top of it.

Haskell was created by researches who wanted to study properties of lazy functional programming. I’ve never heard anyone say they did it because lazy evaluation was “good”, it was their area of research. The co-creator has even said that if he had to do it over again it might be better if it were strictly evaluated.

I worked in Haskell for a few years before switching over to a very closely related but strictly evaluated language, PureScript.

The pureness and laziness of Haskell forced the creators to work out monads for IO which I find extremely useful. Haskell-like monads certainly can (and have) been implemented in strictly evaluated languages.

I don’t miss implicit laziness very often, but I’ll say with partially applied functions, it’s nice to know that values will be calculated as needed and results shared across invocations once those functions are fully applied. That’s something I wish we had in PureScript. Note that in addition to laziness this also requires a compiler optimization that moves let bindings out of inner functions, aka let-floating.

Laziness is also nice as it allows you to be very declarative, defining what things are without ever worrying about the calculations running when you don’t need the result. In practice it’s easy enough to create thunks manually and evaluate them when needed. Doing this can get tedious and the resulting code is less succinct.
I think you missed the point of the scam.

This is not remotely a new idea for Google.

Why are they suddenly concerned about it now?
I agree. In my experience, Windows "just works".
And when it comes to working on graphics-intensive applications, and using commercial software packages it's a shoo-in.
Yes, it's been changed. Mitchell's paper doesn't have a graph but there are plenty that do. On mobile now but if you research this topic (don't use Google) you can find graphs that show the per year deltas from older data sources to newer. It's not a secret they do this, they admit it when people find out, but it's never brought up by those who are pushing doom for obvious reasons (+the edits specifically created a simple warming trend).

In this case you don't actually need a graph anyway, because the editing in that period is so extreme. Just look at his abstract. He says the world was cooling since 1940 and still is in 1975. Obviously that statement makes no sense if you look at modern databases during the period. To understand why he said that you have to look at older graphs, before climatology became so corrupted. They do indeed show a step and decades long fall in temperatures.
The cost of batteries is still reducing so my numbers may be out of date, but last I checked it was close to the same for a nuclear plant and a sufficiently large battery pack (the PV to recharge the batteries is so cheap it's essentially a rounding error in this comparison).

I'm optimistic about future cost reductions to both batteries and PV. I'm pessimistic about the possibility of any future cost reductions to nuclear.

Despite this, I still think there's a place for nuclear — diversity (and not just of power supplies) is inherently a good thing because it de-correlates risks.
Yeah I realized that, but still it feels sloppy or disingenuous when you consider the extent of the subject matter.

It's supposed to be an article about Freedom, Privacy and financial communication, not specifically about Bitcoin (or is it?).
I like Macs a lot but agree in a couple of ways: Full-screen mode wasn't done well, and they never fixed it. Disk images don't make sense for distributing software cause they take longer to open for no reason, though the usual Windows way of having an exe installer is even worse.

I just didn't feel like further arguing.

In that guy's other comment he was talking about Meta/Facebook too which is what I'm most familiar with and was primarily referring to about people clicking on links.

Even with TikTok I bet people click on profile links more than ads

Also that's not ironic, maybe you are thinking of another word
If you want a language where the compiler does not care about how you use your data (and will not help you avoid silly mistakes) then Haskell is not the language for you.

It's possible to ask the Haskell compiler to not care, but this would be so far from idiomatic Haskell that it wouldn't help you if I wrote that code here, I don't think.
Yeah that is also true. The CubeSats don't spend too much time over each ground station. You can technically get around this by swapping between ground stations and enable semi continuous communication, but it would require a ton of them to work well. Also, it wouldn't work over the ocean. There isn't really a way to partner with enough ground stations to get the needed coverage while over land. I don't think there are any ground station networks out there with enough coverage for this type of thing to be constantly swapping for near constant connectivity over land. We didn't actually need amazing connectivity. We were fine with just livestreaming occasionally, but the other issues I mentioned around data speed prevented it. I think if data speeds were better you could get live video temporarily (like 15 mins).

Also, for the satellite transmission via Starlink, I don't think Starlink / OneWeb offers that yet for CubeSats (might be wrong though). I do know Iridium allows for it though. However, as I mentioned earlier in the prev comment, the data speeds might suck still (could be wrong here too) and it costs a lot of money. I do think some ground stations would have wanted money too. We didn't actually need to livestream as it was just some fun PR trick. We ended up deciding it wasn't worth it in terms of cash / effort.

As far as over subscription, it depends. If you are using a public ground station network then its an issue. If you are partnered with no public ones then it's not as big of an issue. We were thinking of private ones only because public ones would not allow this kind of thing. So over subscription just didn't even matter for us really.
It remains to be seen if nuclear or renewables can really carry the kind of energy expenditure we had with oil by themselves, it's very easy to ignore hidden costs when you have a cheap energy resource that can cover them, not so easy when that crutch runs out.

There's no law of nature that says that if we run out of oil, we will find an alternative energy source, rather that just going back to a different type of civilization with a much lower energy usage where most of the economy is just food production.

Sometimes I wonder if all the decarbonization tales are just story we like to tell ourselves to pretend we are in control, rather than just becoming much poorer because oil is running out and there's nothing we can do about it.

On the other hand, if we want to go really dirty, I guess there's always coal, but many countries only have low quality reserves.
Bigger nitpick: 220MPH is the top speed. Average speed is going to be more like 130MPH, so more like 12 minutes (before considering the time for any stop).
Thanks. Native speaker, no idea it was used like this.
The only reason I would agree that China hasn't (past tense) overbuilt is because they're still building more generation capacity.
I think that pecking order is a poor substitute for any unhierarchical way of interacting. The best team efforts I ever had the honor of being part of, be it creative projects, software projects, music bands, project groups always had a flat power distribution. Having a ruler was not necessary there.

I also had good groups with hierarchies, but never because of the hierarchy, but despite it. These projects were never as fulfilling as the freeform ones, where we collectively decided who needed to do what and what needed to be done. Hierarchies can be very bad when taken too seriously, because your superior is usually not the best at understanding the problem domain at any given point in time and it is very easy to loose the motivation of your subordinates if they don't feel in control of their domain.

That being said the interesting test for any system of power distribution is always scale. Small groups, communes, villages or cities are something else than countries.
That's one of the best maps in beamng.drive
Which is generally all the Mac os just works statements are in my experience.
RepowerEU plan is precisely what it takes to completely switch away from fossil fuels in less than one generation while still supporting healthy economic growth.

Granted, it's not like we are starting from zero - in 2021, renewables amounted to 22% of all total final consumption of all kinds of energy in EU (not just electricity, that is), up from 8.5% in 2005. It only puts forward already existing plans, accelerating development through 2030 (45% renewables) and 2050 (75% renewables), while increasing energy consumption and yes, electrifying everything.

And no it doesn't require any terrible effort or funding amounts anyone will even notice.

It doesn't require any batteries.

Panic is simply not justified. U.S. shouldn't worry because it has more than plenty of fossil fuels for the next 50-70 years even with no technology improvements, and by then, renewables will be so cheap they will fill in the market by themselves, Europe will go through RepowerEU, and China, well, the worse for them, the better for us (although with their level of industrial capacity and skill of doing things on scale, i'm sure they will be fine too).
> One of the deepest insights I found in Caste by Isabel Wilkerson was that most people, when put in the position, would capitalize on the opportunity to subjugate their fellow humans. I’m not saying I want to do that, I’m just saying that is reality as I have seen it play out.

Isn't this basically because they feel forced to, since they're subjugated to someone else?
The point was never to make capital gains on the Bitcoin investment. The point was to make the economy interesting to foreign investors and bring in their money.
wow! Thank you so much for a detailed response! I learned a lot from your comment.

If I may ask another question: do you think the CubeSat ‘form factor’ (10x10x10 cm-cube) can have enough propulsion (combined with some gravtiy-assist) to be able to get into an orbit around another planet or another moon in our solar system? Meaning, can a CubeSat be sent to .. say Titan, as a probe (say a ‘mini-Cassini’).

(Just curious to understand whether cheap ‘CubeSats’ can be used as tiny probes for the entire solar system)

Thank you!
Ah, people screaming at each other saying (paraphrased:) "I'm respecting you! Show me respect back!". I love the 21st century, there's so much abundance, we also have an abundance of truth, everyone gets to maintain their own version.

Messages sync has been giving me problems for months. I'm receiving SMS messages on my MBP that are not being sent to my phone for some reason.

> You are in possession of your home, car, and business because these are things you actively make use of, and need for a decent life.

I don't actively make use of the fire extinguisher in my kitchen, does that mean I do not possess it and can be taken from me at will? On the other hand, most of a billionaire's money is not lying around in some vault, it is actively being put to work in the form of investments into businesses that allow other people to make their livelihoods and add to the material prosperity of our society. Does he not "possess" that money (in the sense that he is using it?)

I am probably coming off as pedantic, but I am skeptical of the distinction you make.

> What many anarchists disagree with is the idea of property. Of owning more than you can use.

Many socalist/anarchists seemed quite content with the destruction of "possessions", peoples homes and livelihoods, during the 2020 riots. Maybe you were not OK with such destruction (and if so, good!)

> It's basically the difference between using a seat on the train and defending your right to sit there (possession), and picking up your gun to prevent other people from using the 12 seats neighbouring yours (property).

That's not what property is.
The old macOS didn’t provide any cloud storage option, and the new one does, for a fee. That seems like progress, not begging for rent or a reason to be nostalgic.
Such a project's costs are highly location specific - labour costs, geography, regulatory environment, existing infrastructure to adapt to/connect to/work around, etc.

I think multiple inheritance will always scare me. What order do the superclass inits run in? What happens if they do conflicting things? What if some superclasses call super().__init__ and others don't?

No thanks, I'll suffer through reading a few additional lines of:

class SomeBusinessyThing:

def __init__(self, util, other_util):
self._util = util
self._other_util = other_util

@classmethod
def create(cls):
return cls(util_module.Util(), other_module.Other())

def calculate(self):
source = self_other_util.get_source()
return self._util.get_stuff(source)

vs

class SomeBusinessyThing(Utils, Other):

def __init__(self, \*kwargs):
# What does this do? No one knows
super().__init__(self, \*kwargs)

def calculate(self):
source = self.get_source()
return self.get_stuff(source)
Don't forget that right now, a PV or battery plant will be producing after a couple of years, while your NPP is still in planning or, ignoring any legal battles, in construction. The renewables will produce power for years when that NPP finally goes online.

Changing this state of affairs is certainly possible but would also take several years.
Are CIOReview, CIOViews, Insightsuccess Scam?
I was approached by CIOReview with a mail asking to feature my firm in their "Top 10 Emerging Cyber Security Company" award list. Do they actually distribute print magazines, anyone here have subscribed to them?

According to some Quora answers they are scammers and seem to print limited copies of magazines which they only ship to companies who pay them to get featured. All other promises of magazine circulation are bogus!

Is the BitTorrent Python code you’re referencing Twisted, the Python networking library, something else?

Also, guessing that Google was likely one of the first systems widely used that was implemented in part using Python.
> Now you're implying that anarchism, based on more egalitarian principles than what we have now, is "moving backwards"? Or did I misunderstand this?

I think it is not a given that anarchism is more egalitarian, especially if you think, like I do, that it provides easy cover for opportunists to exploit it. Pure egalitarianism means reverting to the lowest possible common denominator. Many people will not accept that.

When I say forwards and backwards, I mean getting closer to understanding and defining the power dynamics intrinsic to populations of humans. I think code of law is an output of that pursuit, much like software code is there output of the process of defining whatever system it is modeling.

I have to admit that you’ve brought me to the limit of my knowledge with Westrum, haven’t heard of that before. I’ll have to read some things and chew on that a bit.

Low power gradient sounds nice, but I’ll say two things about it OTTOMH: 1) that is not anarchy, and 2) even a very shallow gradient in a world of 7 billion still results in a very wide base of people at the lowest rungs and a very high rung for the upper crust. Ie it can still lead to large inequalities given a sufficiently large society.

I’m not saying that is fair or right, I’m just saying I’m not seeing convincing alternatives.

Both monarchies and dictatorships also transfer huge amount of the wealth to the autocrats. So perhaps by giving the resources to someone to exploit?
