That sounds lovely but theory and practice vary in their overlap.

One point I'll counter you on is that a significant portion of the population is literally below average intelligence and that hate and spite are strong motivators for many.

I've yet to see any capitulations by the crowd obsessed with Hunter's laptop but I'm willing to try to zero in on that with you to see if your words match your actions.
You provide no points to refute my statement. Being bounded between 0% and 100% is irrelevant, unless you think only 100% efficient is not inefficient - which would be absurd due to the impossibility of obtaining an “efficient” label.
This is something remote work can protect against. Another point in its favor!

On the other hand, "heightism" smacks of Social Justice, so maybe we should scorn the idea of "heightism".
A full 6502 is only like 900 gates. One could do a neat project with separate ALUs chips, control logic, etc, like AM2900-style.

From Googling, it sounds like the 74181 ALU chip was only ~75 gates or so https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/74181. And the AM2901 something like ~500
Oh, of course! Just write good code! Well kiss my grits. I can't believe the solution has been sitting here staring me in the face all this time.

Sure: it's 1/r^2, so they don't have to have one big one on the superstructure -- they could deploy a bunch on the deck and other areas with radio "holes". I presume the rest of the boat is steel.

Presumably it's also OK if a warship that shows up at a military dock frotzes mobile phones -- maybe even if mobile phones were disabled on bases in general? I've never been in a military and haven't the faintest idea how much is confidential. And it's not like the military doesn't have other telecom gear.

If a warship ties up at a civilian dock it's a little more tricky, but in general I'd think this principle would also apply.
This is hilarious; I don't think I've ever encountered trolling that goes this deep. Beyond this GraphQL post, the other blog articles are even funnier -- and then there's the github repo and its fake issues.... brilliant!
Plenty of companies have refused or even actively opposed the FBI and have managed to “avoid issues” with the federal government. There absolutely is a point where a company’s wealth and influence affords then the ability to push back against the government with little fear of the possible repercussions. And whatever that level of wealth and influence is Facebook has absolutely far surpassed it.

> You’re trying to put the blame on the consumer here which never makes any sense from a business perspective.

Consumer:

noun
1. a person who purchases goods and services for personal use.

It is sort of weird that people don't pay for a product, yet expect to be able to use it forever? It should be obvious that companies intend to convert "users" to "customers"?

You call them "consumers" but they are not given the have not paid for the services. Maybe "users" is more appropriate?

Do let us know what products you produce, and give away for free for years and dont want to monetize, it is just a charity thing for you even thought it costs you money to offer the service.

It is a brave soul who gets in the way of massive government spending.
One rather blatant error is the treatment of Easter Island - which the author portrays as a self-inflicted catastrophe. In reality, there are probably three general phases of Eastern Island inhabitation: (one) initial discovery and subsequent deforestation, (two) a long period of relatively stable population, (three) raids by European pirates who murdered or transported most of the population to work as slaves in Chilean guano mines. The third issue is entirely neglected in that book. Not a very good sign, really.

Typically one chip has the hardware for a total encode throughput of like 4k60 pixels per second, optimized for the possibility of one real-time 4k60 encode. The chip also includes an entire GPU and/or a bunch of CPU cores. Putting more fixed encode HW instead of GPU or CPU cores is more useful and efficient for YouTube, and at the same time they don’t need individual encodes to be real-time, so it becomes possible to design the hardware for higher quality if you don’t need to guarantee 16ms frame encode times (maybe? at least, "realtime" is the reason I got when asked why hardware can't use recon for intra mode decision...)

Intel went partly this way by slapping three 4-core Xeons on a PCIe card (VCA2), abandoned it, then announced variants of Xe to replace it. But ultimately they’re repurposing their existing silicon and it’s not as important for Intel as it is for Youtube.
A solution is a site for publishing papers, with community discussions. People can rate/upvote papers, and these ratings can be used to build several metrics for papers, authors and reviewers.

UK stopped mining coal mostly in the 1980s when Russia was still the Soviet Union. The cause was not Russian gas which isn't a direct substitute for coal anyway and especially not back then, but rather that the NUM destroyed the domestic coal industry, which became totally uncompetitive relative to more or less any foreign producers. It wasn't Russia specifically, it was that UK mining became dysfunctional and unreliable.
That's all true, but there's one more key point that makes it even worse than that: the hardware is tivoized.

I agree with all that, but in the short term things are going to be very expensive. As I already wrote, I see it as an opportunity to do what you said - ditch fossil fuels for good.

Software piracy is in a bit of a hiatus now because of Denuvo, but I'm pretty sure this isn't translating to increased sales.

Only the biggest of companies ... Most 10-50 person companies I know are

1) mostly the result of long-term-sustained hard work, not (any significant amount of) innovation or inheritance. Inheritance money helps with getting started, but in my observation, learning how to run a real business from your mom/dad helps a lot more than money you get from them.

2) up for grabs: the kids don't want them. The owners are either actively looking for someone to take it over, or open to offers to some degree, ranging from "someone PLEASE take over my company" to "if you pay off the capital, the business is yours".

Of course, this is local builder companies, real estate companies, a hotel, shops, "Industrial" companies of limited scale producing beer, ice cream, ... Not Microsoft.

I used to ponder this too much as a child. Why is there something instead of nothing.

The most satisfying answer for me was that you must first define nothingness. But the moment it's been defined nothingness ceases to be. It seems to me at least that somethingness (suchness) [1] and nothingness are cross-reference negation of the other. So it can't be one or the other but must be both.

This probably is not making an sense. Later I stumbled into Buddhism [2] which seems to have this undefinableness as a core of experienced reality.

The idea that anyone would make these accessible from the Internet is preposterous, and the fact that so many are exposes an underlying problem in IT. Maybe it’s lack of knowledge, low skilled people, or the intense focus on cloud has eroded basic IT skills to such a point that things like this could be putting everyone at risk.
“We will never know” is such a contradictory statement. On the surface, it implies the limits of our knowledge while simultaneously indicating that the author possesses the omnipotence required to know what humans will learn throughout the entirety of our future.

Of course it costs them! Nationalisation just means the losses of the nuclear industry are born by the taxpayer, which will surface in worse services in other areas.
Here's my own theory on this. The English adjective order does have some logic to it.

opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material, purpose

The adjective closer to noun tends to describe something more like an 'essence' of the noun. Changing the purpose adjective, eg 'savings account' to 'checking account', is more fundamental than changing other kinds of adjectives. The opinion adjectives are the most superficial and most fickle among them.

I haven't tested this extensively enough. Your thoughts and counterexamples welcomed!

Discord is just way more polished. Everything works reliably every time.

The voice channels are flawless, even when there's people on shitty internet connections.

The client is always responsive and snappy.

Their design of how the server/chat/voice/videos/users is laid out is is clearer, easier to see what's going on at a glance and it manages to do that while it fits more information on screen.

Their dark mode is much better.

Their code display/highlighting is better.

The user groups/roles which is more like tags is much better than others.

It's way easier to find where notifications come from.
Design for manufacturing is a big thing in many industries - consumer electronics, auto, etc. It does not seem to really exist for (residential) construction. There are some broad constraints by material sizes, but it seems that in practice so much needs to be figured out and fit along the way.
The reason for easiness in regard to the complete otherness of His Essence and His unrestrictedness is this: most certainly, the Maker of the universe is not of the same kind as the universe. His Essence resembles no other essence at all. Since this is so, the obstacles and restraints within the sphere of the universe cannot hinder Him, they cannot restrict His actions. He has complete disposal over the whole universe and is able to transform all of it at the same time. If the disposal and actions that are apparent in the universe were to be attributed to it, it would cause so many difficulties and so much confusion that neither would any order remain nor would anything continue to exist; indeed, nothing would be able to come into existence.
For example, if the masterly art in vaulted domes is attributed to the stones of the domes, and if the command of a battalion, which properly belongs to its officer, is left to the soldiers, either neither of them would ever come into existence, or with great difficulty and confusion they would achieve a state completely lacking in order. Whereas, if in order for the situation of the stones in the dome to be achieved, it is accorded to a master who is not a stone himself, and if the command of the soldiers in the regiment is referred to an officer who possesses the essential quality of officership, both the art is easy and command and organization are easy. This is because, while the stones and the soldiers are obstacles to each other, the master and the officer can look from every angle, they command without obstacle.

from Quran's Light
Market price is based on the price of the most expensive megawatt produced. The price moves up and down to balance production with consumption, a necessity for every grid, and producers set prices at which they are willing to inject quantities.

The current problem is that in europe a lot of the electricity is made by gas plants and those plants are seeing their costs rise. They therefore increase the price at which they are willing to inject capacity, and that means the market price moves up because that power is needed to satisfy demand. Gas plant operators are not making a lot of profit.

Because every party injecting power at market rates (some of it is actually locked up in long term contracts) is paid the market rate, those not using gas to produce power are actually the ones making record profits. Wind is literally making windfall profits. There are talks of having an excess profit tax because right now governments are going into debt to finance energy subsidies that line the pockets of wind and nuclear operators (and of vladimir putin).
"How to Sharpen Pencils" [1] by David Rees is one of my favorite books. Highly recommend it for its perfect blend of satire, actual in-depth analysis, and absurdity.

This is what every country should do. Basically putin is extorting europe through its marginal pricing.

BTW spain's prices are more "real" in the sense that they better reflect the cost of generation. It's the EU market's prices that are fake.
Yes yes and sperm comes from between backbone and ribs.
> Price is a function of whatever price the seller sets.

Only if customers are willing to buy at that price. Which is only true now because there are no cheaper competitors to turn to, which in turn is because the entire system is operating at capacity.

Over time the high prices incentivizes bringing more power generation and transport online, which is exactly what we are seeing - new/reopened nuclear, coal, and nat gas plants are all planned or coming online across Europe and imports have spiked from places like the US. No one likes high prices but it does incentivize building more capacity that might lose money when prices are low, but make up for that when prices are high. This process doesn't happen over night but sanctions + war (roughly) did. Europe was lulled into complacency by consistent and cheap Russian gas for years.

Also, don't overlook those transport costs. Networks across all energy types are severely constrained and underinvested in. Doesn't matter how cheap you can produce energy if you can't get it to your customers cheaply.

Basically because whereas some science will ultimately turn out to be useless malarkey ALL of religion is useless malarkey that we have been dealing with for thousands of years. Worse than not adding value such "babble" has been at various times a bulwark for all sorts of evil men and backwards looking philosophies. Some of us are tired of society being held back for the sake of old men's words given unearned weight by being backed by the weight of lies.
Back in the early '80s I took course in regulation from one of the leading experts in railway regulation. She was great, and the main idea I took away from it is "don't regulate if the market will naturally fix itself." So, the big question when deciding whether some issue needs to be controlled through regulation is whether the market will function well without regulation. (In most of the examples she gave, it would.)
I went and worked in Silicon Valley a few years later - moved back after 20 years, NZ is a far safer place for kids to be independent teenagers - and was pretty amazed that my son was taught about the '81 tour in high school history - it's not something that's been forgotten here.
> I'm sorry, how many secret military documents have you personally seen?

Quite a few. I was on active duty in the US Army and deployed to Iraq where we planned and conducted air assault and VIP transport missions. I also had TS-SCI clearance.

> It's easy to imagine if you restore the Constitutional authority of civilian management of the military (and all other aspects of government). A reasonably responsible US voter should have nothing hidden from them, even military secrets.

Yea sure. Totally. Nuclear secrets, CIA operative locations, all plans and contingencies and movement of assets across the globe. Hell maybe I can take a UH-60 for a spin. My tax dollars paid for it!
Nothing. Youtube Premium is a perfect experience
I think most railway line routes would quickly have a location with limited clearance, like a narrow bridge, tunnel.

Lanes next to roads are better, and more easily connect to the rest of the road network.

You may ramp up adult-level conversational ability faster, but it takes much longer to reach any state of native-like fluency.

For example, I lived and studied in Japan, and while I probably jumped from zero to ~middle-school in terms of basic communication ability in about a year with daily classwork and total immersion, I was nowhere near the average toddler in terms of basic fluency after that time. Even now, I can make myself understood in most adult-level contexts where a toddler would be helpless, but nobody would ever confuse me for a native toddler.

It's not just accent, either -- little kids still routinely teach me vocabulary and grammar.
