I don't think it is a money thing, but flexibility. Working 4 days for 80% pay is seen as a privilege. It shouldn't be. And the part time friendly jobs (supermarket checkout, Uber, etc.) don't pay well per hour. One workaround is to contract, 6 months contract then 6 months off.

If you want to work your entire life on your hobby without worrying about how to source money at all ... well that requires being born rich most likely.

I think for most people the blocker is themselves and societal expectations. "People will think you are a bum" is more of a blocker than "How much money left in account". Especially for people reading this comment.
Agile has always been extremely vague about what it is. This is at the heart of the problem.

This allows everyone to project their own desires on to it - from CEO to PM to programmer to consultant.

I get why this happened - the original consultants probably felt that defining it in a way that would alienate people (especially leaders with the budget to hire them) wouldnt be good business.

Nonetheless it led to all this. Scrum was almost worse - an attempt to be specific and regimented about process without being alienating which is how I ended up working on a project for BigBank where they asked for N story points to be delivered per month in the contract.

Ideally Id like to see some new sort of movement X that follows the heart of what agile is and isnt afraid to get specific in a way that would alienate a CEO/pm with waterfall/controlling tendencies. This way I could ask in a job interview if the companies does X or agile and get a clearer answer about wtf they do.
> With a touchscreen all those dependencies go away

Not quite. You need a rough idea of where the controls are going to be so you can make sure that the user can reach them. The placement of that "iPad sized capacitive touch screen" is incredibly important, especially if the user has to search for the control.

That's no less true with hardware controls, and I'm probably splitting hairs, but it's not as simple as just allowing for it. There is still hardware to consider early on.

And when manufacturers do forget to plan for it, and shovel a touchscreen into an old-design cockpit, it's super-obvious, and awful.
The quoted paper doesn't support what you say. It also doesn't demonstrate a difference in the elderly. Given that, I'm inclined to take the rest of this post with a grain of salt and I think every other reader should do the same.

here's the thing - people have a degree of discomfort with "your own YAML". I'm not trying to flame, but genuinely tell you what the evolution of FUD has been.

At this point, you are sitting in a landscape which has already argued around Borg vs Kubernetes and consequently YAML vs Jsonnet vs Cue (e.g. https://github.com/cue-lang/cue/discussions/669). We have original Borg and k8s architects who have spilled lot of ink on this.

It is going to be super hard to digest another custom markup. This is really your battleground. People will ask - why not the standrdised Compose specification or standardised jsonnet/cue. In this context, Compose is kind of loved by all (though not the technically superior choice here)

the good news is - ur asking the same question probably and thats a good direction. You also have the steps to build up on (k3s, k11s, k9s - yes they are all different things and very cool). Best wishes if you go down this path.

You're confusing peak pricing with average pricing. Peak price is about 50-250x as much as average price.
True and useful way to think. Such a matter of course to me that I would also forget to mention it.

Output can also be an action performed through an actuator (robotic arm, welder, coffee pot, ...). Could be considered as data (signal coming to the actuator) but the "problem solved" is the action itself (and usually involves a feedback loop).

> A typical English person finds squid disgusting

Not true.
Human societies have developed over the years with trial and error. Taboos against a food can have a positive correlation with negative health outcomes when consuming that food.

So just because there is a taboo against a food group does not mean that it will definitely be bad for you. There is just a positive probability that it could be.

Taboos can also arise out of fashion and economics, irrational beliefs and moral considerations of a particular culture.

So when we see a Taboo, it is often good to analyze: could this taboo have arisen due to health issues (here pork is a good example because of the danger of tapeworm infection) ? Or could the Taboo have arisen out of cultural reasons e.g dogs/horses are beloved in many cultures so a taboo may have evolved that we shouldn't kill them.

> I'm reasonably certain the idea of certain food being taboo is almost completely due to cultural norms.

TL;DR: Sometimes it due to cultural norms and sometimes its due to negative health outcomes that get noticed due to trial and error over generations.
What's with the sudden uptick in people talking about eating bugs and eating meat (and liberties, billionaires, elites?)?

Those two things aren't the only two options, and no one is forcing anyone to do anything, which makes me think this is some attempt by the meat industry to paint all the people who are telling you to eat less meat (like your doctor) as authoritarian lunatics out to undermine civilization.

'Asien' didn't misuse any math terms. I don't know why they're being downvoted.

'Shaburn' made some claims that sounded like they want to be math, but didn't make any sense as math. Hence my confusion.

I recognise that people use terms colloquially, like 'exponential', but given all the (pseudo?) sophisticated, math-y language in the comment

> Given the rate of mutation and transmission in bugs with natural gestation and migration, the probability of catastrophic outcomes is exponential without a similar dataset in other human food sources.

I had hoped that Shaburn actually had a more concrete model in mind that they could explain.

Fuck investors. Set your product’s price and let the customers run away or stay. Then see if it’s enough. Then and only then, if it’s not enough, drop the product. Or, if you really want to keep working on it even if it isn’t sustainable, find investors.

In the meantime, kill off your cloud. Purchase or rent bare metal servers and stop paying per minute for shit. You can get 100+ of cpu cores, terabytes of ram, and disk space for less than a few hundred USD a month. Self-host the things you need (garage for s3, longhorn for persistent storage, harbor for Docker images, Loft for k8s management, etc).
> I think one of the main reasons for wagile is that software development is often seen as capital expenditure rather than operational expenditure

Depending on where you are, you might find that allocating expenses as capitalisable is much more tax-efficient, hence the desire from the business (finance, specifically) to treat it that way.
> Is there no room for small, stable, profitable companies in startupland?

There is room for them but outside of startupland - a small, stable, profitable company is the exact opposite of a startup, and has entirely different funding and ownership models than startups do.

If it's stable and profitable, then it doesn't need investors, and if it's stable and not expected to become huge, investors don't need it.

If it's small, stable and "needs investors" because it's not profitable, well, then it has fizzled already.

More powerplants isn't the answer to ever increasing spikes. Powerplants can't ramp up & down very quickly, so addressing spikes with more powerplants just leads to more waste. And since we're talking reliable power at dusk, that means large co2 emissions & non-renewable, dirty fuel sources.

Grid energy storage is increasingly critical. Distributing it to all the houses isn't really a bad idea for a battery-based solution. Pumped water is a great option for grid storage and is used throughout the world for that, but we are talking California here. Water is a precious & limited resource there.

This despite thermal coal being at all time record high prices for the past year. Yes, well before Putin's alleged "price hike" on fossil fuels.

https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/coal

I wonder why wind and solar didn't come to the rescue. I was told ~ a decade ago on the internet that coal was economically dead, killed by wind and solar, and that coal mines were stranded assets by lots of apparent experts in energy markets. I wonder how they all could have possibly got it so wrong.
Pumped hydro, batteries, and tanked chemicals are not the only storage media.

We also have underground compressed air using existing deep cavities, and undersea compressed air. And underwater buoyancy, drawing floats down toward seafloor-mounted pulleys, using a winch and motor-generator on shore. Demand will not exceed our capacity to make cables and floats.

But the real answer is that there is nowhere even close to as great a need for long-term storage as you imagine, just as there is not much petroleum stored today. Petroleum is extracted and delivered continuously and reliably. Myriad tropical solar farms will synthesize ammonia year-round, shipping anywhere needed on demand, so storage is needed only until the next shipment arrives.

And HVDC transmission lines will move power from where it is being produced to where it is not, over 1000s of km, at a wholly tolerable loss rate. Much of this will move power eastward from afternoon production and westward from morning production, but also generally fill in for local production and storage shortfalls everywhere.

So Finland can have ammonia shipped in continuously all winter long, just as they ship in petroleum and NG today. Transmission lines will compete for that business.

I just reverse engineered the firmware of my laser printer so I didn't have to buy $100 worth of chip cartridges....

Silly HP, they thought they patched out the logging and debugging functions by putting 'return true' at the start of them, but the compiler still left all the calls in...

So then it was just a matter of finding the function which called the 'TonerLowAlert', finding where it gets its data from, and patching it to always think it has a full toner tank (and full imaging unit... And full transfer roller... And full finisher... And 15 consumables any of which could make the machine stop printing!). There was the minor hitch of a custom RPC mechanism between all the components, but that was quickly overcome.

Then patching all the firmware checksums (which obviously all use custom algorithms - and the machine has 5 different firmware images!)

And finally reflashing, and we were done! I even customized the 'Ready' homescreen message so everyone knew it was modded.
Are You Intellectually Humble?
You are not an expert and have only anecdotal evidence. Someone might read your post and assume that your advice is healthy to follow, while it flies in the face of actual medical advice. As such, your post is actively harmful to other people.

It is also not intellectually interesting, as it is just a rehash of what is essentially facebook COVID reporting.

At the very least you should not try to infect others with your harmful information. It is very antisocial to do so.
1. Number of people eating bug(driven by mimesis pushed through a media narative and thus typically viral(aka Exponential by default).
2. Number of variety of bugs being eaten(regionality and entrepreneurialism((often referred to as Cambrian explosions in perfectly competitive markets)) .
3. Number of geographies bugs for consumption being grown in((any including Antarctica and space with a new profit motive...look at the impact of disease due to invasive species)).
4. Number of production methods and processes.
5. New combinations of genetics of peoples and insects/infectious organisms being consumed. Think Montezuma's revenge or lactose intolerance in certain regions of the world except possibly contagious and deadly

Multiply all that by orders of magnitude faster gestation cycle and thus the chance for mutation, aside from technology developed to support existing food chain, Number of mutations per lifecycle, increasing the chances of deadly DNA combination by 12x, so order of magnitude.

Average lifespan of...
A. Bacteria: 12 hours
B. Insect: 12 months
C. Mammal: 12 years (shortest being the primary disease harbinger, the rat).

Peak pricing is indeed higher, but also much rarer. Prices of $2/kWh are reached extremely rarely, so the VPP in this scheme might only be operating once or twice a year. The calculation in the GPP about payback time for the powerwall assumed you could get a lot of cycles in, but at these elevated prices that seems unlikely to happen. Note btw that the $2 is flat, so even if prices reach $9/kWh you'd still only get $2/kWh back.

I notice that the article does not include any expectations about how often the "events" would happen btw, even though the utilities would surely have enough data to at least make an estimate.

Calling people idiots (as OP did) is unnecessary, but do we really need whataboutism?

The point here is that insects are proposed as a new, high volume source of proteins, as a way to reduce meat consumption.

Humans have fairly good understanding of parastites, bacteria etc related to meat. And have established routines for raising animals and preparing meat to minimize the problems.

As far as I know, humans have not the same level of knowledge, nor processes related to mass production and consumption of insects.

The paper shows that there are substantial parasitical risks with eating insects. Something, at least as far as I am aware, is not generally known or talked about. Importantly things like applying heat (cooking), which generally works to reduce problems with meat, according to the artible, seems NOT to be effective against parasites in insects.

Let's focus on that discussion.

Of course there is an available option - simply shut it down.

If you aren't really certain of success, then causing friends&family to invest and lose money is much worse than shutting down, that's outright evil. There's nothing inherently good or valuable in the survival of a business - your business surviving is good if and only if it is a valuable, profitable business, and if it is not, then it's wasteful to throw good money (especially good money of people who trust you) after bad. And burning all your personal relationships by acting in this untrustworthy manner to your friends&family has worse long-term consequences than burning a startup.

> Ok fine; but for statefull calculations that need to load and or store information per compuatational element it’s not the win one might think.

The whole point of my idea is to mitigate this.

Exactly this problem is the famous von Neumann bottleneck. And it's holding back any progress we could probably make regarding computer hardware.

Imho the whole misery we're in is due the fact almost all "basic" stuff is build in languages that are married to the "C-Machine". The core of the problem: The "C-Machine" can't be build efficiently with hardware that does not simulate a von Neumann computer. So we're stuck.

The only way out of this "local optimum", like I call it, would be to change the basic programming model. From imperative to some mix of declarative data-flow with FP elements. Than "rebuild the world" on top of that… (Simple as that, isn't it? :-D).

One can't fix the von Neumann bottleneck as long as it's possible (or actually required!) to be able to jump around freely in memory. So we need to change that! Pure FP languages could pose a way around that basic problem. In FP languages one can "contain" all state manipulations on the language level in isolated parts of the program. Everything between this parts is pure data-flow. So you could have explicit "machines" that manipulate state and talk to the outside world strongly separated form the parts that do only pure transformations on data. Those "machines" would be the "processing units" (with their attached scratch-pad memory) that I'm talking about in the other long sibling comment.

When the block subsidy becomes insignificant in a few decades, Bitcoin's security will require a constant backlog of high-fee paying transactions, which can only arise with a constrained blocksize causing a fee market. Bitcoin's capped supply is great for speculation but a poor design choice for a useful currency.
