If it requires zero extra thought and is perfectly reliable, pass systems work.

As soon as there's inconveniences or you have to think specifically about where and when you can use it, the advantage fades and you're back to buying individual movie tickets or whatever.

Moving customers into exclusive services for pass holders doesn't necessarily make it a benefit in my view. I don't want to reacclimatize to both a pass system and a new experience, just give unfettered access or customization.
Getting tired of this on social media. People making YouTube videos of something relatively simple in hopes of monetizing a channel.

The worst is when people take something from a snippet of the Python standard docs and make a 15+ minute video on something that could have been read in 2.
...which in turn was strongly influenced by a previous product from DEC.

"Various aspects of CP/M were influenced by the TOPS-10 operating system of the DECsystem-10 mainframe computer, which Kildall had used as a development environment."

microwaves go about 10% further than the horizon, barring any tropospheric ducting - which cell towers shouldn't, in general.

The issue you have with long distances is multipath, which can throw off the complex timing required to have multiple users in realtime on a single radio.
iMessage seems like an odd choice to single out for lock in though. This is a whole network, I doubt it will be integrated directly with services. There’s not any precedent for anyone else doing that (besides maybe Facebook with their phones). Despite the fears about net neutrality.
The nm in the process names is more marketing than a reference to something physical.

For example:

> The term "5 nanometer" has no relation to any actual physical feature (such as gate length, metal pitch or gate pitch) of the transistors. According to the projections contained in the 2021 update of the International Roadmap for Devices and Systems published by IEEE Standards Association Industry Connection, a 5 nm node is expected to have a contacted gate pitch of 51 nanometers and a tightest metal pitch of 30 nanometers. However, in real world commercial practice, "5 nm" is used primarily as a marketing term by individual microchip manufacturers to refer to a new, improved generation of silicon semiconductor chips in terms of increased transistor density (i.e. a higher degree of miniaturization), increased speed and reduced power consumption compared to the previous 7 nm process.

Wouldn't something like Westworld road system easier? Basically, almost all the cars are self-driven, and it's more like a public transit than anything. Essentially, a closed system. (Easier in the technical sense, not the implementation (politics, ...)).
Allowing "zero changes" state for a merge request does make sense, as during the development workflow developers may doing some rebase & force push work and they may forget commit changes after reset to main and before push to the pull requests.

Closing the "zero changes" merge request have confused in my previous experience when I continue to push re-added commits to the original pull request branch.
This is in Nature Human Behavior. This is a social science/psychology journal, a field which is suffering from the reproducibility crisis, perhaps worse than any other field. So, any result in this field should be viewed with significant skepticism. This is true for research into population group differences, and extremely true for IQ research into race, which is almost hopelessly noisy and confounded. It is a simple and obvious fact that population group differences in intelligence are noisy and confounded. In fact it is far stronger a fact than any of the actual results from this research.

Second, research results in population group differences are social poison. They are memetic viruses that fuel violent extremism. The murderer of 10 people in Buffalo directly cited human behavior research in his manifesto. Extremist racist groups regularly discuss this research. This is a fact.

So we have a dangerous combination: weak research that destroys societal bonds. This should be handled with care, and extra consideration should be given to whether the tenuous, fallible results from this research will result in violence.

This isn't fucking Orwell, its people trying to make sure that dogshit research in their journal doesnt get cited by mass shooters.

1. Yes it is— there are many kinds of virtualization other than machine virtualization. Containers are a form of operating system virtualization.

2. Docker on non-Linux also requires machine virtualization; the `docker` CLI connects to a `dockerd` daemon running on a virtual machine.

The question I posed earlier is motivated by understanding this and knowing that on macOS, the binaries that devbox runs on your local machine are completely different (of a different architecture, even) than the binaries that devbox will pack into a Docker image. Since it uses Nix to build them, it either needs to run Nix in a virtual Linux guest (which it does using the guest that Docker for Mac sets up) or have its Mac-bound Nix build Linux binaries.

Using `docker buildx` obviates the need to set up devbox's own Linux VM to target as a remote builder, or, alternatively, cross compile the required Nix packages. But it comes at the cost of adding a dependency on Docker even though devbox doesn't use the Docker runtime for its shells
> Given that many (most?) bootcamps are for-profit, it stands to reason that they should be able to pay for a basic level of Heroku services that their students can use, no?

I used to mentor at a not for profit bootcamp. We had students use Heroku because it was free and they could keep their applications running after the boot camp ended and continue to make updates, use it as a demo, part of their CV etc...

As a non profit we certainly didn't have money to spare. What little funding we had was spent on marketing/public awareness, fees for outside teachers, and space.

> One always wonders about the German team and why they were not first - and I"m glad they were not.

In regards to this, I believe they were on the right path but they were split in to three groups across Germany. They shared the radioactive material and because of this weren't able to achieve fission (?) due to not having enough material in one spot. Thank $diety for that.

Movie pass failed because different theaters charge different prices depending on what the locals will pay to see a movie. Trying to even the prices out geographically meant that people near cheaper movie theaters didn't buy the passes, and people who went to more expensive ones did. They were fighting against market segmentation, which was obviously a failing strategy and I'm surprised they got any investors at all.
Twitter is in dire hot water over this and are going to have a nice conversation with Elon, Jack, etc in court with the SEC, and the FTC watching them over this potential case of fraud with this disclosure.

Did Twitter really think that continuous denial, lies and more PR deception was going to be that easy to get away with?

Not this time.
The counter to this argument is that time begets wealth - thus the oldest folks are the most likely to have capital. Those with capital impact economic decision making: thus the real trap is that we will all eventually spend all of our time taking care of the elderly - it will be the last job in town - as the elderly will have the last wealth at the last moment. Government policy of today certainly favors the old and wealthy - why should that not continue?
On track for Soylent Green scenario.
There is no such thing as a published scientific journal available to only one country.

Nobody is saying that the government can't fund private research (as it surely does in the context of security, defense, etc). But that if research is _published_, it ought to be open access rather than behind a paywall.
Used to be that was the job of a certain Kazakh citizen.

> Wind and solar are quite unreliable. That's the dirty secret.

It's not a secret, that's what most people say. But is it true?

Take a look at the graphs in [1] with monthly electricity generation by source in the US. You will notice that renewable electricity generation is a bit jagged, but not a lot. The ratio between the highs and the lows may be 1.3, but it's certainly not 7 or 15 as you imply.

The thing about 7% of the nameplace capacity counting towards peak availability is a red herring. Power companies can keep natural gas plants. Those are very cheap (about $1000/kw of nameplate capacity, on par with solar, but obviously without intermittency issues). They don't need to run them all the time, 5-10% of the time will be enough. Overbuilding renewables by a huge factor to supposedly be allowed to earn 8-10% is a nice conspiracy theory, but assumes they'll find people to sell to at a profit. When you generate many times what people consume, you'll eventually need to pay others to take the electricity from you (yes, negative prices are a thing in the power markets).

I thought orcas were traditionally divided into three types. There is no standard for what is or isn't a "species".

But it doesn't matter at all; the difference between the taxonomic level of "sharks" and the taxonomic level of "orcas" is unimaginably large regardless of what you want to call the levels.

it seems kinda unfair to look at cases where companies pull shady shit around preventing cancellation, hiding the options, making people spend an hour on the phone then blame the consumer for a "race to the bottom" when they use a workaround to make cancelling the flip of a switch (like it should be).
What is it using the unused ram for then? It's just a password manager.
Another part of the problem is that the contents of the browser is mostly untrusted, and the browser itself already has a giant pile of shortcut keys that would conflict.
I've noticed the memory leaks too. Unfortunately I can't live without GNOME shell extensions and I need to reboot/logout for security updates every now and then, so I just got enough RAM to let me continue working while leaks are going on.
That's on Chrome's and (Firefox's) developers though. The keychain services API is fairly straightforward to implement.
Not sure if including the password used to deactivate the email alias, in every email sent, is the best idea btw

What is access like now, anyone can pay to access regardless of citizenship? If so, then it would seem most US citizens are paying twice to access the research anyways - the same deal as foreign countries. If this makes it free for everyone it's not really changing (most) anyone's relative cost - assuming I'm correct on the first point.

Perhaps it's wise for everyone to carefully distinguish physical injury versus emotional damage. Perhaps it is true that we can tie ourselves into knots if we treat emotional damage as completely equivalent to physical injury. And, perhaps also, notorious serial sexual harassers groping apparently hundreds of women (such as our man Asimov) have something of a vested interested in teaching us all that emotional damage in important ways doesn't count.

What's interesting to me, revisiting Asimov after medical school, is that we are unable to create a workable definition of pain that is absent an emotional component. This is of course not to claim there are no important ways that physical violence and non-physical emotional harm differ.
I believe that if it really comes to it, as in “the reservoirs are dry” and human survival depends on it, then desal will be done whether people want to argue about it or not.
I think they meant extrasolar. The planets and moons in our solar system are pretty alien, and some of them have lots of CO2 too.

I'd like to see websites make it easier on people who need to copy/paste their login information because they are using some kind of password management system that doesn't support autofill.

One simple change would be to for the site to pick some character that is not legal in user names for that site and make it so that if the login form is submitted with a blank user name but the string in the password field is of the form <string1><X><string2> where <X> is that not-allowed-in-user-name character, then the site tries to do the login with <string1> as the user name and <string2> as the password.

People using copy/paste could then store their user name and password together in that format in the password manager, and only have to to one copy/paste to login.

Moviepass failed because they lost money on every subscriber and didn't get the critical mass to get discounted tickets to cinemas. They took an antagonistic stance towards the major theaters and lost.

That said it could have worked if they took a different approach. Businesses like theaters want to fill their seats and will gladly reduce prices if they aren't able to sell at the full ticket price initially. Basically the problem to solve isn't filling up the theater for the midnight release of the next Marvel film, it's filling in those seats for the art house flick in its second week before leaving theaters or packing the house until it leaves.

A subscription service that can put butts in chairs could work if it addresses that real market inefficiency. I believe one exists for this purpose on Broadway but I don't think it's an app. The danger is the theater doesn't want to enable scalping.

The other giant whole in the live and recorded media landscape is discovery. Customer acquisition costs are enormous for media producers (particularly the poor, local ones that are beloved but teetering on bankruptcy).

Basically what I'm saying is the model should be partnership with the venues and not attempts to disrupt them.

Here's something I'd pay $20 a month for. Give me two tickets every other weekend to some random show the day before at a theater or cinema. My partner and I will see it. Use whatever tech or business relationship to pick the day before what that is and we'll do it.

I hope Apple allows it for all messages, personally. But I could definitely see them restricting it, especially at the beginning.
Reverse osmosis desalination does have some capital and operational costs, though, but you're not far off. 5 billion m^3 or 4 million acre-feet would still only be about 2.5 B per year. The problem is that if you fill up the Colorado River the farmers that own the water rights will just drain it down again because they don't pay based on the quantity they use. Or if they do pay based on quantity the price is much lower than the cost of desalination. Desalinating large quantities of water without fixing the water rights situation would be like minting pennies out of gold.
This is being downvoted for some reason, but there's no reason that some govt branch couldn't require a copy that they would publish as part of the grant.

The first one was a bit jarring but also awesome. No one told me the kid comes out looking grey like the borg before quickly turning red and no one also told me babies are basically lizard people for the first three months but after that they come alive with human emotion. Don't be discouraged by the eating, crapping, crying thing that doesn't recognize your face, seem to get much out of cuddling, or show affection, it gets so much better, as does the sleep schedule and it takes about 2-4 months for that to happen (sleep schedule will improve incrementally as the kid gets bigger and can eat more at once).

My wife can go to sleep early but I am a bit of a night owl, so what worked for us really well for our second kid in the first 3 months was she would feed him and put him down in the slumberpod and I would watch the kid and work. When the kid woke up after 2-3 hours I would take him upstairs to feed and go to bed and the wife would take over. She got a solid 2-3 hours to begin the night so was much better rested vs the first kid and I was only getting mildly disturbed when she fed the kid in bed vs being woke up like I was for the first kid so the six solid hours I need weren't as disturbed as with our first kid. by month 4 the kid would only need 1 or sometimes 2 feedings so we switched to her taking him up feeding him and they both sleep and I would just sneak in around 10:30. kid would often sleep till 2-3 am before waking.

You probably don’t need a separate message queue service if you have a transactional (probably “real SQL”) database. The “table as queue” pattern in SQL has been used since the 1970s at massive scale and was taught in my CSE 100-level classes back in the 1990s. The natural API for such a thing is basically the same as Rabbit/Kafka//SQS/whatever.

Yah but even then, I suspect a 4x4 suv would be better suited than a pickup for that... its just people use absolute incredible shit tier beater trucks for plowing similar to how people use shit tier cars to deliver pizzas. I dont think its because a beater truck is better than say a 4x4 SUV, it just is (was?) easier to find a beater truck.

If somebody is using a nice truck to snow plow they are pissing away money. Ice, constant torquing stress on the frame, hitting shit hidden in the snow, salt on main roads everywhere (depending on place) etc... it is fastest way to reduce the value of a vehicle next to driving it into a brickwall or driving it off a bridge into the ocean.
