This is essentially a definitional issue - do you define it narrowly, with multiple sequential revolutions along the path of industrialization, or broadly, with multiple phases? The facts are the same either way.

Personally, I prefer the latter view, on account of how the various stages interacted. Water-powered mechanical fabric manufacture greatly expanded the use case for rotary-output steam engines, and both technologies took off synergistically when the latter became available with sufficient efficiency. Mechanized manufacture greatly expanded the use case for mechanized transport...
It's comparing players of the same rating today vs. the past using the chess engine Stockfish to analyze how well players are a certain ELO performed. For example a player with an ELO score of 2000 today is stronger than a player with an ELO score of 2000 back in the 90's.

If you look at a very broad sweep of cultures at various times... the classification of social classes get very blurry: slavery, peasantry, serfs, cottiers, indentured labour, wage labour... Which of these best represents Middle Kingdom Egypt's labour structure? Is sharecropping the same as medieval european peasantry?

The definition or labeling of these labour class structures don't tell you much about their economic implications. Slaves don't necessarily cost less than sharecroppers, serfs or tribesman. That doesn't mean it doesn't have implications, but they are complicated and relative to the specific of that system.

I just don't buy this linear extrapolation from A to B.

To store wind energy, you either need excellent pneumatics (high-precision manufacturing) to compress air or a rectifier (semiconductors!) to charge a battery. I don't think that was in reach. Maybe you could have spun a flywheel, but you'd have a hard time making magnetic bearings without a good theory of magnetic fields and probably Earnshaw's theorem. And it's very hard to move a flywheel.

Pumped hydro won't get you portable power. That's a major limitation for, e.g., vehicles. The train was invented just 66 years after the steam engine (1738-1804).
I'm not sure what you're complaining about, exactly. A raspberry pie is mostly service, not product - you get it for things like convenience and company and time. You can tell because the frozen version is much cheaper. And if you want to go further lower, you can actually make pies at home for pennies - all you need is a sack of flower and a bunch of frozen fruit. And capitalism even makes it easy for you to do it - if you decide it's something you really want, you can invest a couple hundred bucks in home equipment to do most of the work.

I'm sorry if I'm misunderstanding, but a couple of reads of your comment and I still think you're complaining that things go well :)
My biggest issue that it's effects are hidden. If he wanted to just send everyone 10k i would be more okay with that as it would have to go to Congress and come from somewhere. Not to mention that it's going to relatively well off college educated students that made poor decisions. And it doesn't change the underlying problem with higher ed prices. If anything, it'll build the expectation of debt forgiveness, allow people to borrow more and schools could charge more.

This is just the worst of all scenarios

Is a slave zero cost though? Seems like the opposite. You have to pay a large upfront cost for whatever extra marginal output they can produce, which is minimal because you still need to feed/house the slave and their family, but they're probably not the most motivated worker. So you have an expensive worker you need to feed with low productivity. The economics of slaves seem pretty poor quite frankly.

CppCon is organized by the Standard C++ Foundation (and a ton of volunteers), which is a non-profit organization.

Ask HN: Does programming make you think everyone makes lots of mistakes also?
Much of programming involves fixing the numerous bugs that are in the code that you write.

Doesn't this predispose you into thinking that people in other jobs make a lot of mistakes also?

And so maybe programming makes you more distrustful of people and their products/services?
The cheapest way would likely be something like a WordPress.com or Tumblr site, where you can piggyback on someone's global-scale infrastructure. You could do that for like the $10/yr it costs to map a domain, but it's obviously somewhat restrictive.
I'm a JavaScript dev, so I tend to go for Node with Inquirer + Commander.
The RK3399 does have a rather limited ISP, not something you'd want to pump 88M in. If you were to use only 1 camera and combine the two ISP nodes it has you'd have a maximum of 26M. This is also why they used a IMX258 as anything better would require to use the second interface for that single camera too.

But to clarify: it's not really as much about "any ISP" as it is about a good ISP that can do multi-camera composition. The ISP in the RockChip SoC can't even do one, it mostly just does basic cropping/rotation/resizing and controls the PHY. While technically an ISP, it's more like an interface driver at this stage. The driver is open source, but the hardware isn't. That's not always a bad thing, as in this case the hardware doesn't run on any RT blob, it's mostly just a bunch of registers for (image) stream processing.

I think in the android rom hacking world, most ISPs are used with their binary blobs (both firmware and kernel modules) but without the configuration and user land blobs, resulting in working cameras (at high pixel counts) but really bad image quality.
Russia's position is officially still that they can and will pump as much as Europe is willing to buy. Bear in mind that there is an entire pipeline ready and waiting to go that Germany refuses to use. Simultaneously, the other pipeline required maintenance on its compressors which were heavily delayed by Western sanctions. Not just one turbine but several needed work.

This has led to the bizarre outcome that Germany put pressure on Canada to break its own sanctions regime to return a turbine that was shipped there for maintenance, whilst simultaneously refusing to allow usage of the brand new pipeline that worked, and is now blaming Russia for not reactivating the old pipeline fast enough! Their position makes no sense whatsoever, except that nobody hears the Russian story in the West due to widespread story-killing, so they accept this "Russia turned off the tap" narrative even though it's wrong.

That's what happens when you live in cardboard houses in the middle of a literal desert.

> I'd expect the 48% to rise in the wake of this

Why do you expect that? People that use Hetzner usually pick it because it's very cheap. I don't see many moving to AWS, which is very expensive. They'll probably move to OVH, maybe Digital Ocean or Linode or other.

>If I drink and crash my car, my insurance won't pay me. I can sue them and the judge will tell me to fuck off.

Because of the terms of your insurance agreement that will clearly disavow coverage in this circumstance.

> In a poor analogy of my fictitious example, I can ask the pool of other drivers to judge whether the insurance should pay or not, and if they say no, sure I can also go to the judge, and she'll say "Sorry, the contract says the pool's decision is final.".

The thing you don't get is that insurance agreements are already legally binding agreements which is why coverage decisions are made with respect to the facts of the matter and the terms of the insurance agreement. As an insurer, if you do not cover something that the agreement requires you to cover, the insured will win win in court and get the coverage.

>Insurance schemes pool the insureds' moneys together in case something bad happens to one of the insureds, of course it'd be in all the insureds' best interest that the money is used properly, if the company says "We won't fight this particular patent troll", it's also in the pool's interest to tell the company "Wait, we think this is a valid case, and you have to fight it!", because otherwise, when a similar patent troll shows up trolling one of them, the insurance company will also ignore it, leaving them exposed.

Insurers make the decision based upon the terms of the insurance agreement that they signed.

My kid's Irish passport costs €25 to renew. Her US passport is €130.

We wouldn't even bother with the US one except that it's illegal for her to enter the US on anything but a US passport. If we showed up with her Consular Report of Birth Abroad (which proves her US citizenship) could they legally refuse her entry to the US? I don't know.

But €130 to enter a country of which you're a citizen is annoying.
If you want something immediately actionable you can do, cow farming is a major contributor of global methane (as well as deforestation). Cutting out beef shows a personal commitment to sustainability.
Right I am not saying it is impossible. I am just too comfortable and ingrained working locally for so many years that I don't really feel like jumping out and managing the taxes, visas, and so on that will come with it. I wouldn't do $30 if it was my main work, I just wanted to give one example of someone doing it and why.
Because IMAP is not theirs to dictate.

Maybe if someone standardised such an extension they'd add support. Considering how ossified email is, they rightfully have little interest to do it alone.
In the Fastmail web client it's under the "More" menu item above the e-mail contents, and you can set up an IMAP folder to act as a spam sink for other clients, but it depends on your email provider.

> As for CO2 vs Methane, Methane is responsible for about 20% of all man made warming (1). So eliminating it completely would still leave 80% of warming... This is because we emit a lot, lot more CO2 than Methane.

> The division is really a false one IMHO, because a lot of methane comes from coal mining and oil/gas extraction. So unless you stop using fossil fuels (the number 1 CO2 source) you cannot stop methane emissions...

But if you can eliminate that 20% with minimal effort or expenditure, why wouldn't you?

Most of that is coming from emissions related to fossil fuel extraction. Which is a perfect opportunity for capture.

CO2 emissions, on the other hand, is coming from a million different sources and doesn't have a single clean solution. There's not a one step process for eliminating 20% of CO2 emissions.
> this is extremely, extremely low. No heating, no cooling, no hot water, no car charging. A fridge alone tends to be over 400KW/h

I have a fridge and my water is heated with electricity, I still end up at ~1500kwh per year, while working from home everyday.

Electric heating and cooling is extremely inefficient and barely used in Europe.

More likely to be the other way around, actually.

Boards are getting designed for a specific chip and you are extremely unlikely to change that - unless the original is no longer available. Re-engineering for a new chip can be a massive pain - even if the new one is pin-compatible. If you are delivering high-quality products, you are not going to switch.

With the exception of some trivial ones, western manufacturers don't really make pin-compatible chips. Creating a chip which is electronically identical is not easy at all - and don't forget you probably have to make it firmware-compatible as well. The end result is that you now have exactly the same product as your competitor, so you are now competing primarily on price and making it easier for your customers to leave you. Oh, and you open yourself up to lawsuits too. Creating unique products is way for those manufacturers.

On the other hand, eastern manufacturers are more than happy to create exact clones. A lot of shitty electronics don't really care too much about things like longevity, warranty, compatibility, or even regulations. Just make sure it functions well enough to make it out of the store. So a manufacturer like GigaDevice creates the GD32F103, which is pretty much a clone of the STM32F103 by STMicroelectronics - down to firmware compatibility. Won't get used in any product whose brand you recognize, but with the ongoing chip shortage they are definitely selling like hot cakes.

But implementing an instruction set is not easy, and ARM might actually try to do something about it if you do it without their permission. With RISC-V, you can just grab any random implementation! Perhaps even an open-source one? GigaDevice has already released their first RISC-V clone: the GD32VF103. Again a clone of the STM32F103, but you now need to recompile for a different ISA.

I'd actually _like_ to use Xen, but as far as I can see is just dead in all but name.

To name one example, nested virtualization support is not only hopelessly broken, it's MORE broken in recent releases than it was a decade ago. You can see right here how the feature kept getting broken by every other release until nothing worked anymore: https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Nested_Virtualization_in_Xe....

And Xen is literally the only virtualizer out there that does not support nested virtualization, which is a rather critical feature since many (dev) stacks assume one has hardware virtualization, and Windows is going to require it sooner than later.

We get it - what makes you think we don't. We are merely pointing out a superior solution.

Like back in 2004 I would tell people how many of their problems would be resolved if they switched to Linux. Fast forward two decades later, the statement is still true, and most people still don't use Linux. But it wasn't a problematic thing to point it out to them - be it in 2004 or now.

Well, could be. You do need to be self-driven, and also be able to see the bigger picture so you actually help your clients.

I think some distance is helpful, too. Some clients can be really dysfunctional in the sense that they will spend all day talking about things in meetings, and never do anything about it, probably because they're not comfortable bringing about the changes. That's why they hired you. You're the change agent.

But communication is important. There's no boss to set the expectations or clear up misunderstandings for you, you need to do that yourself, carefully. If you think you'll find it difficult to bother explaining things to people, then you probably need to contract on something where you can communicate through a version control system.
