Bruce Sterling had a throw-away mention in his 1994 book about tornado chasers Heavy Weather, saying that in this future no one paid for regular software but everyone shelled out (perhaps subscribed even?) to groupware, software that worked together, because it was just too damned much of a pain in the ass to do anything else.

For all the p2p popularity & interest- ipfs, dat, hyper, various blockchains- it feels like there's still very little progress. Even if we take the easy path of building centralized servers, there's few architectures & systems that can help up rapidly develop "multiplayer" software systems.
In today's sensor rich environment of satellites, aircraft etc, a carrier's location is never a secret to an adversary. Ever.

Hmmm I think if you observe children my personal conclusion is that in practice (over theory) thought and language are intractable and as we mature, expression becomes more acute and so language acquisition is faster because we no longer need to learn how to think.

A 6 year old needs to learn $LANGUAGE and science simultaneously
According to this theory the price of energy should be the same in all of Europe, since it's the same mandated price. But it's not according to article graph.
Yeah, there are a lot of synchronous network calls in many applications. I ran out mobile bandwidth recently and have spent the last week in AT&T's penalty box and it's amazing what broke. For example, Audible's app goes to complete hell in this state when you launch it; you can bypass the hang by clicking library but it would be content to mostly just sit there.

Because some places have excess amounts of hydropower and other places have huge energy shortfalls. Not everyone is using solar/wind power. It is a pretty straightforward arbitrage. I have no idea if it's worth doing, though.

But that doesn't get us any further than "We don't know yet." It doesn't prove or disprove anything. By the same line of reasoning one could say there is no time at all and all our memory of the past is an illusion generated by a simulation. The linked video talks about this: there are an infinite amount of theories that one can come up with to explain the current state and it might not be possible with our current understanding to prove them wrong.

The problem I have with religious texts is they are very vague and evidently open to a lot of interpretation. And by talking about things like God and building a logical system out of wrong axioms that is then applied to daily life choices they actually can create real issues - we've had enough of them in history.
Note that I wasn't arguing against the big bang, or even cosmology itself. I was only pointing out that the concept of God doesn't add anything to the conversation.

It's also important to note that the big bang theory completely leaves open the question of what there was in the tiny tiny universe before inflation. Basically, the current BBT describes how the universe evolved starting from some time t=t0 + 10^-36 seconds. But that leaves a gap after t0 but before this time.

Finally, the question of existence from nothing is traditionally extended to the supposed singularity that existed at t0 as well, though that is on shaker ground.
I agree with you more than you'd think. I'm aware that my open-borders belief is a radical one, and I accept the dramatic implications and knock-on effects.

But the vast majority of people accept the legitimacy of restricted immigration. IMO the line of moral revulsion they draw between your view and their own is largely illusory. Once you've accepted that you're selecting immigrants, it seems nonsensical to me that your selection criteria should consist of a) rigid and horrifyingly Kafkaesque processes for 99% of countries and b) an inconsistent drip of unselected migrants from an adjacent country (through a process that puts them at substantial physical risk).

Frankly, I'm a little contemptuous of people with this perspective. They don't seem to have thought through their belief that we should restrict the border, but do a shitty job of it in random ways.
You're right. In fact a time loop has the same something from nothing problem any other theory has.

Imagine a flatlander universe. Package up time in another dimension and you can represent their entire existence as a static 3d cube. Timeloops would just be a static torus in the cube.

The same is true of a 3 spatial dimension + 1 time dimension universe. You can view it as a static 4d tesseract. Timeloops are just a 4-taurus. Where did that 4 Taurus come from? It's the same something from nothing problem.

I honestly prefer to see sites made by people who don't know how to design anything. The people who do know how to design websites seem to be either malicious or designing in the interest of some alien species from another dimension- see how bad Discourse looks, whitespace galore, too low density.

No, don't worry about that. You've seen CVs, that's already a great start. Pretend you're hiring. What did you dislike in those CVs you saw? What do you care about? What doesn't matter - what would you boredly skip over if you received your own CV from someone else? Is your CV an uncompromising textbook of your life, or is it optimized and showcasing what people care about? Six pages or two? Is a person hiring going to stare at it and get an idea of your strengths and feel like you're going to solve their problems, or are they going to have to sit and ponder about it, or, worse, phone a reference and take a gamble?

Of course, every person hiring is different, but generally the motivations align.

webrtcbin is nice for one-to-one, but we were looking for something that's a better fit for one-to-many, which is where mediasoup came in. That being said, mediasoup is quite complex from a maintainability perspective since it's designed to handle several use cases, so we plan on making our own webrtc streaming solution in the future that's designed with only one-to-many in mind
> Globalstar's network has been in a variety of decays

>TAMPA, Fla. — Globalstar has signed a term sheet with a “large, global customer” to start deploying some of its spectrum for terrestrial use “in the U.S. and beyond,” the satellite operator said May 5.

The operator said Feb. 24 it picked MDA and Rocket Lab to supply a set of 17 satellites to replenish its constellation after a “potential customer” agreed to fund most of the $327 million project. The agreement includes an option for up to nine additional satellites at $11.4 million each.

https://spacenews.com/globalstar-agrees-terms-with-global-cu...

A secret customer fronting large amounts of money to enable goods or services they want to offer is certainly in keeping with how Apple operates.
The problem here is when you try and recover the cluster by adding nodes - since FDB manages itself using transactions, this becomes very, very slow and painful if you've allowed multiple nodes to get into this state (which, because of balancing, is kind of how you get there).

Basically, fdb is great as long as you avoid this situation. If you do, woe unto you trying to being the cluster back online by adding nodes and hoping for rebalancing to fix things. It will, it is just very, very slow. I don't know if that's true in the current version.
That was Caviar. DoorDash bought them at the start of the pandemic. It still runs, it's just DoorDash with a demographic tweak now.

"Caviar’s platform architecture created value by focusing on a niche market that would drive a critical mass of users with only a few restaurants, allow for exclusivity to reduce multi-homing, and provide ancillary services for restaurants to reduce the barriers to entering the delivery business.

Caviar launched with a relatively limited, curated assortment of restaurants that had loyal customer bases among food enthusiasts. With only 30 restaurants, Caviar had a small selection compared to its competitors, offering around one vendor per cuisine. Despite this, Caviar’s value proposition of “hype” restaurants attracted a different customer base that were willing to pay a premium to get delivery from these crave-able restaurants, many of which had never been available before on delivery. In addition, by onboarding restaurants new to delivery onto its platform, Caviar was able to sign exclusivity with many of its partners to reduce the multi-homing and creating stronger network effects with its users."[1]

Because if I say "I went to the store" or "I went to the pub" it's somewhere we both go or experience or have an expectation of going or experiencing, no further introduction needed. If we both go to the same conservatory then "the conservatory" would work, no further introduction needed. It doesn't if we don't, it becomes special and therefore needs explanation to introduce to the conversation and take on "the".

Looks cool but be weary of cheap controllers.

There's a reason it costs Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo millions in R&D to finalise their controllers: it's hard to get right; and terrible if it's even slightly wrong.

This is clearly a budget option but I'd wish budget manufacturers tried to key into existing controllers more. Slide in ports for Nintendo JoyCons, for example. Or club together to fab a common input and ergonomics platform, just leave the computation, display and battery capacity variables.
I suppose it depends on one's interests.

For example one could try to clone many of these:

"The Triumph of the West" by Roberts has a different take, putting it down to differences in culture and attitudes. For example, the West had the idea that the universe could be modeled, and discoveries from testing the model could be applied to the universe in general. The West also had notions of rights and freedoms that were absent in other cultures.

First, why do you believe the FBI was going only on a pinky promise? They are not famous for being friends of Hillary Clinton, and in fact disclosed (against precedent and protocol) an investigation into her while keeping secret a parallel investigation into Trump. They wouldn't take her word for anything.

Second, the documents were happily stored because they were not under the purview of her political opponents. If Republicans on the Benghazi Committee wanted those documents they could have subpoenaed those documents. But they didn't. So why are we supposed to be upset that she deleted documents that weren't under the scope of the subpoena?

Third, I notice you failed to articulate any crime, so again I ask: what was the crime? If Republicans didn't ask for unrelated into, and FBI couldn't find she deleted related info, then what unique insight do you have that she was attempting to evade a subpoena, aside from a vague hypothetical?
It could be, but it's not. Their priorities are consistently aligned with keeping the ad dollars flowing and everything else is secondary. It isn't a "free speech platform," it's not a platform for social good, it's a platform where you're allowed to say things that Facebook deems profitable.

You're once again putting words in my mouth. It seems like you are looking for an argument, and making assumptions about my opinions. I don't think you are arguing in good faith and you are turning quite rude.
Yup, and they think pissing people off is worth it (for their expected benefit). And... they're probably right. People have short term memories and other things to worry about.
> Price is a function of supply and demand. Supply was massively reduced by sanctions and war, so price goes up, simple as that.

But this is not true. Price is a function of whatever price the seller sets. Look at the actual circumstances rather than on mathematical models with no bearing on reality.
Can you elaborate on what you reduced and what was remaining for the 800w? I am curious
Timezones are your main obstacle.

Many companies are remote now, but work on the assumption that all their workforce is within 2-3 hours of the main timezone, and also that most work will happen synchronously. This includes (but is not limited to) meetings.

You may want to narrow your search either to companies that embrace asynchronous work or where the manager you’ll be reporting to can agree to milestones, deadlines or deliverables that do not require much interaction with your colleagues.
> There is nothing physically limiting it from working.

Clouds, rain, atmospheric density variations, interfering signals and noise sources, phone positioning, the attenuation and reflections from nearby materials...

Also, don't forget that the SpaceX announcement was for a max of about 4 Mbps for an entire cell which they said was a very large geographic area. It will also be asynchronous short message (text) for quite a while. Next time I am backpacking in Canyonlands it will be great to have, but it will have very little impact on the vast majority of phone usage for quite some time. Its a small but important step.
It doesn't need to do either. This is a false dichotomy. A company needs to be legal, and be useful enough to its customers that it is sustainable. That is what a company needs. There is no "useful to society" as there is no monolithic "society".
Wiring: NM-B (Romex, etc) is somewhat faster than metallic conduit.

Drywall: Roto Zip or similar tools. DeWalt makes a tool that installs collated drywall screws, but I’ve never seen one in use.

Insulation: older houses generally have extremely poor insulation, so a labor comparison is a bit odd. But there are several spray-applied insulation products on the market. In a moderate climate, a whole house can be insulated in a day or two. (Spray foam is very expensive, so mineral wool or fiberglass can be less expensive despite potentially higher labor costs.). In cold climates, exterior insulation may be needed, which is a whole different process.

Sprinklers: PEX fire sprinklers are a thing. I’m not sure they are widely used.

My (current) understanding of the truth:

* Hunter Biden was (is?) a drug addict
* Hunter Biden has done stuff to be ashamed of
* Hunter Biden got a board member seat on Burisma because of who his dad is
* Content (some percentage) on the laptop in question came from Hunter Biden

I could do this all day long, because I have no partisan loyalty/ideology binding me. I care about corruption regardless of which party is committing it.

This is similar to my approach with all logic in a .py module and then the notebook is only for presentation, comments, and formatting. This works out fine with everything in git and it’s pretty rare to actually have a conflict in the .ipynb.

Grammar used to be a core part of grammar school. It was for me, along with penmanship. I'm not (that) old, my school was weird, but one is expected to graduate high school knowing what indefinite and definite articles are, which is which in English, and the distinction they represent.

Explicitly rather than implicitly, I mean. I believe this is still expected of high school graduates in America, yes? So the use of the negative particle in the first sentence isn't indicated.
> It almost always makes more sense to build for a single browser first, then figure out where the comparability issues are once you have an actual product.

I agree, and most places I've worked with has been the same. But I think only once, after following that process, have we ended up in "Damn, this works 100% in Chrome but is completely broken in Firefox". Sometimes something works faster/slower in Chrome/Firefox, but without requiring something like the Web MIDI API, most things just works the same across browsers, minus some minor things regarding CSS that has to be taken into consideration.

I guess what I'm looking for with my previous comment, is not so much of a general/philosophical answer of "Why you block Firefox but not Chrome?" but rather a specific answer to "What ended up being broken in Firefox but working in Chrome?"

Mostly helpful for my own curiosity, but in the strange case of finding things that works in Chrome but not Firefox, leaving a report at https://webcompat.com/ can be very helpful for the general health of the web as well.

They look at redshifted galaxies. Previous Hubble data showed less & less sphereoid & spiral/disk galaxies at high redshift/far ago galaxies. JWST makes it clear that many of thr more abnormal, hard to discern galaxies are spiral galaxies.

One of the main conclusion is that it may be possible that galaxies like the milky way have retained their shape for 12b years plus, where-as before there was more belief that galactic structures would have had more tendency to change.
