We were talking about conventional military tactics (e.g., artillery) on civilian areas, so a topic entirely separate from the "terrible individual incidents" you mention: on the conventional tactics front, I disagree that there is a significant difference. When a conventional military wants to wrest military control of an area from another smaller conventional military (one that for good reason has some guerilla elements as well), they all use similar tactics. The end result is always a bloodbath (or mass murder).

And Russia is absolutely committing other cruelties of war on top of the conventional war. I was also excluding that from the discussion, because it wasn't part of the article or the thread thus far. More people die from the conventional stuff too.
Yeah, agreed, I meant idiomatic "happy" as in you could find people who would work longer hours in worse conditions for less money.

Childcare must be the best example, it's expensive throughout the developed world and end user cost is mostly wages, I'd imagine. If it is expensive, it means you can't find people who will do childcare more cheaply.

Why do you say the last 15 years? We had the Enron blackouts 20 years ago that were so bad they effectively forced the recall of the governor. The grid has had its issues for a while.
That was far from Vettel's first win either (he'd won 3 championships at that point).
Yes - the key word there being "masters". They were already established, so decided to cut some corners - but they could have done it themselves. That's very different to this guy, who is not a great artist, and has cut so many corners that his input is reduced to "draw a gnarly tree, that looks like Rembrandt". Such genius!
My favorite issue with phone number-based identity verification is that it doesn't account for multiple different countries well at all. In some regions, getting more than one 'legit' phone number (i.e. not on any of the VoIP blocklists) per person is nearly impossible, while in other regions, even in the Western world, it's very much possible to buy a lot of pay-as-you-go plans, keep the numbers from expiring, and use them to retain perhaps dozens of accounts at no to minimal cost, making it yet another measure that affects legitimate users disproportionately compared to it affecting illegitimate users.
Do they broadcast that live? Because you know, they could just edit it.
Very true. It's quite shocking how often supposedly 'very smart' folks suddenly stop thinking when considering second order, and higher, consequences. Maybe it's a symptom of some deeper underlying problem, motivated thinking, etc...
I had this view once, and then I married a microbiologist.

Nothing in biology is simple. Nothing. Even the simplest things are orders of magnitude more complex than I ever could have imagined from my lofty platonic realm of numbers and functions.

Life is fractal. Every time you zoom in, there is just as much complexity as the previous zoom level.
All eyes on France now.
Because their nuclear power plants don't work, Germany needs to burn gas to produce electricity for them.
More optimistically, they would buy solar+storage which would mitigate the problem

Been though those, I don't really think "storm knocks out power lines" is the kind of problem people are talking about when it comes to grid reliability though. No amount of coal is going to keep the line from getting cut.
Did you try to replace the + in the unsubscribe URL with %2B (the urlencoding of a +)? Because interpreting the URL on the server will almost certainly mean urldecoding the arguments which will turn + into a space.
Data has CYA appeal.
There's nothing contradictory there. The fact that EV charging can be easily time-shifted is an enormous benefit. There are few things as beneficial to the grid as EVs will be.
I disagree with calling California's intentions "good".

On homelessness, for example, that is largely a problem of California's own making. At every step the state has decided to make homes more expensive and turn homeowners into a landed gentry. As part of this, the loudest NIMBYs basically dictate what can and can't be built in the state. I would not be surprised if those NIMBYs have also been hard at work stymying necessary grid infrastructure in the same way they stymied affordable housing and high-speed rail.

Nuclear energy's downfall is a complicated subject with factors outside of California's control. Even if California wanted nuclear today, they would have to get past a whole host of regulatory and financial barriers they don't meaningfully control. It's the sort of thing the federal government needs to decide to start paying R&D on again.
"Decimated" is a bit of an overstatement for a business on track for over $!00b in revenue and $40b of profit this year. The growth rate took a huge hit, but it's not like they're on the verge of collapse.

While I agree with your suggested outcome for some or many, a product designer or manager who is skilled at asking questions, going deeper, removing distractions, asking why continuously, and empathizing while not seeming judgey can garner really good insights.

As a naive idiot not born in the US who has seen the weirdest separatist movements in Europe (not only a Bavarian one, a Franconian one [Franconia being a historical kingdom, now a collection of counties within Bavaria]), I'm constantly amazed the US doesn't have more separatist movements.

Texas and California strike me as the sorts of states to one day just say "You know, fuck all y'all".

V2G seems, as a practical matter, to be extremely dependent on a complex system of intermediaries because no one wants to try having vehicles negotiate directly with the grid operator. I don’t know whether this is likely to work well in the near future.

Depends on your criteria. If you are interested in the best solo developer it's probably true. But in software engineering the hardest part is working in teams. Building a large scale system too large to fit in anyone's head while still maintaining a reasonable degree of modularity and cohesion is very difficult and requires a degree of verbal and written communication that could translate very well to blogging.

More relevant is the low barrier to entry to blogging and Sturgeon's Law.
There are so very many companies that exist in category c.) companies that make a profit from non-tech companies. Many of them are not public. Many of them are small. Many of them "only" pay SWEs as CPA-level salary. Many of them are working on "boring" problems. But there are plenty. If you're concerned about categories A and B, perhaps search for a position at companies in category C?

I’m not sure how the Reagan governorship is effecting California to this day, but I know that the US still hasn’t recovered from his presidency.
Part of me wants to refute because we've always dealt with civil unrest, even major upheavals in empire such as the West Roman civilization collapse. But we live in strange times so who's to say what a new unrest may bring. I just doubt civil unrest is what will do us in when compared to unmitigated climate change in the long run
The water turned into steam driving turbines doesn't touch the cooling water drawn from rivers. They are closed systems.
I am regularly reminded of reasons why moving somewhere that has adequate rain and a responsibly managed electrical grid was a good idea. Cutting my rent in half and a distinct lack of forest fire smoke sure helps.
ZFS is grand for one machine.

GFS/colossus is designed to offer similar level of features (well in terms of performance and namespace, not snapshots) but over many machines.

ZFS doesn't have to worry too much about latency, or another machine writing to the block that it wants to update. As soon as you break free from one machine, you have to think about how you deal with: where data lives ( is the data stored seperate from the metadata?) how a client signals who has a write lock, permissions (ie user authentication, nfs basically just uses UserIds, which can be faked, unless you are running kerberos/NFSv4) data affinity (pull data from another data center is expensive, do we sync, cache or clone? how do we resolve write clashes?)

All of those questions have an impact on speed, scalability, reliability and durability. You need to choose your designs carefully to get a filesystem that does what you want it to

On November 8th, you must vote against me and show the world that you didn’t think the new Star Wars was all that good. When you’re in that voting booth, remember that every vote for Hillary Clinton is a vote that shows the world we agree that The Force Awakens was more like a Happy Days reunion special than a movie. The choice is yours, America. Please make the right one.

which felt pretty explicit to me.
Coastal water works great. Once through cooling from Diablo only kills 800 lbs of adult fish per year. Yes it sucks in fish eggs but the way the anti-nuclear industry phrases it is "it kills 1.5 billion fish in early stages of life" lol. A single tuna fish can make 5 million eggs per year.

Away from the coast you can do dry cooling with almost no water, going straight to air. It's just more expensive so it's not done often.
Even worse, if you have a large amount of wind & solar, the remaining power sources have to be very flexible. Nuclear is very non-flexible (especially in the financial sense).
but i'm sure that applies to women as well. It is just that women have no pressure to approach.
> California politicians seem to have a lot of good intentions

What evidence do you have for this? It seems to me that the intentions of most California politicians are motivated by what causes people to vote for them. But their voters are a mostly captive audience, since they have such little choice in the matter - what are they gonna do, elect a “semi-fascist MAGA Republican?” Of course not!

So California politicians can do whatever they want, because their base will vote for them to beat any Republican. That means they just need to beat opponents from their own party in primaries, where they take positions on issues that are generally far outside of mainstream preferences. They’re optimizing for pleasing the extremists in their party, not for implementing whatever “good intentions” they might claim to have.
Well when you look at the 2nd hand market you will find that it’s bifurcated. You have shit that sells and shit that hangs out forever. Most platforms make it hard to track things that are selling quickly because they disappear out of the listings so data on stuff that has sold is really where all the important info is.

Since you are focusing on luxury goods take StockX or goat and try to map how long goods sit at certain price points as they dip down.

Also I think maybe you need some way for users to enter in the product they want to track. As opposed to you having to find all the luxury goods out there.

I think a key skill to evaluate is the "learning how to learn". Can a developer pick up a new language and are they flexible enough to get their head around a different concept.
I agree that we need to support learning - knowledge can be acquired, but the willingness to go outside your comfort zone is something that is a bit more innate.
> And the issue of Taiwan is a linchpin of US hegemony: it's existential, there's no doubt the US will go to war to defend allies in Asia including Taiwan because failure to do so basically kicks the US out of Asia and destroys those alliances.

For now it is, the interesting question is if the US voter class is ready to go to war again after the disasters of Iraq and Afghanistan - at least from an European POV it looks like wide swaths of the population do not want further overseas engagements and wish to reduce military spending in order to have more money available to fix pressing issues (crumbling infrastructure, healthcare, poverty, high energy prices). Additionally, while Trump himself is a very vocal opponent of China and I think Taiwan will be secured even if the Republicans win either of the next elections, it is nowhere near certain that Trump as a President will apply the same towards Russia or other enemies of the Western sphere - particularly not given strong indications of both himself and his close environment being influenced by Russia, both financially and via "kompromat" rumors (e.g. the "pee tape" allegation).

Then it depends on the usage. You'd likely need to run with synchronous mode on, and even on WAL, multiple separate write transactions is a issue. If you don't have many writes or buffer them into not many transactions, SQLite is the most performant.
While I don’t disagree that nuclear is the ideal, this event does not prove that solar and wind is not enough. A properly implemented wind and solar system can most certainly support California. They just need more of it. Half of California’s electricity in 2021 came from natural gas anyway.

Don’t forget nuclear isn’t compatible with our reality either: it’s politically infeasible to implement nuclear because everybody is scared of it. It’s also extremely expensive upfront.
And to be completely clear, those regulations make sense because the Ports of Long Beach and LA are on the edge of the second-largest metro area in the country. No need to burn bunker fuel in a massive population center except in an emergency.

They banned the sale of non-electric vehicles starting in 2035. Looking at automakers roadmaps, it'll be hard to find new ones by then, so this wasn't really a huge deal.

> This only re-enforces what I already believe; that most critics — and especially art critics — mistake what they don't understand for deeper meaning.

To be fair to the AI, I believe it was trained on both real life and other art of high visual quality - I wouldn't be surprised if it has actually encapsulated deeper meaning without the developers intention to do so.

> So an image like this — which by the way, I will admit I find on some level beautiful and interesting to look at — which doesn't have any intention behind it, is thought to probably be be some kind of deep art.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I believe meaning is also the same. Many poems for example have been misunderstood from the poets original meaning, but that doesn't stop it being meaningful. Music is much the same.

Just because the AI didn't have intention when creating the art, doesn't mean that it didn't capture it. Nature didn't have intention of deep meaning over millions/billions of years, yet we can take a photo that has deeper meaning than the subject matter itself.

With the photo you may argue "the artistry is from the composition process", but one can argue that the person generating the AI art also went through a selection process, and chose three pieces that they found compelling.

I don't think AI art being chosen proves anything about critics. We have, also, not seen the competition either, and cannot come to _any_ conclusions about the result.
LTT has a lot of goodwill. The brand is managed incredibly well and feels consistently personal, honest and authentic.

Probably a lot of people that just want them to do well in what they do. If you get a decent screwdriver out of it, that's nice I guess.
Well then its a good thing most of the energy crunch time is while the sun is shining. In big states like California and Texas the difference between day and night usage can be >20+GW. Even more so when there is a heat wave.
To be fair, I think it's much less likely that some creep is going to try to record an old person and post it on the internet as opposed to an attractive younger person...
> It's not conceivable that we do any significant change to the mass ratios.

You are underestimating humans. Look what we have done to the Earth.
Thanks. Yes this is what I'm trying to say - a race to the bottom is about companies seeing how crap of a service they can give you that you're still willing (or have little choice) to pay for.

This appears to the the exact opposite, a race to provide more services and more features for a lower price, based on optimising and/or lower profit margins. AKA Capitalism actually working for a change.
Yeah, having lived in third world and now living in California, I can tell this is BS. Third world electricity is having power cuts daily in small towns(not less populated, by the way), and probably weekly in cities. I rarely had a power cut in California in the last decade. If it did, it was less than 15 minutes in all.
How many jews are allowed in palestine, vs how many arabs in israel? Who is more racist is clear to see by the actual actions taken. Jews can't live in arab areas, while ~20% of israel is arab. The racists are plain to see. Arab ethno-nationalism is somehow not part of the conversation, just 'anti zionism', while the arabs keep the jews out by violence.
My mistake, 208kW (not hp) was the number advertised here.
While this is indeed an issue that falls within the domain of philosophy, philosophy is also home to fields in which the absence of empirical evidence is regarded as an irrelevance, or at best a mere detail that can be deferred to an indefinite future. Take, for example, the resurgence of enthusiasm for panpsychism, and the enduring appeal of armchair metaphysics.

I am doubtful that academic philosophy has much enthusiasm for pursuing and inculcating the practical aspects of reason (any more than does theoretical physics or mathematics), though there are exceptions.

I love PouchDB, it's incredible, however I fear its a project that is loosing it momentum (I do think it has pick up a little over the last year though).

It has a very aggressive stale bot closing issues (this search shows 700 closed stale issues https://github.com/pouchdb/pouchdb/issues?q=is%3Aissue+stale...), some which I really don't think it should have. It gives the impression of a very active but stable platform that I don't necessarily think is accurate.

For example I found a version hash collision bug while working on a side project, the issue was closed as stale (https://github.com/pouchdb/pouchdb/issues/8257)
> This guardian article is demonstrable nonsense. Professor Römer is either ignorant, or is intentionally gaslighting Bush.

Surely you meant gaslighting Chirac ? (which I disagree with, anyway).

> Gog and Magog are well-known figures mentioned in both the Hebrew Bible and the Quran. Playing dumb because it's not also in the Old Testament is not a good look for someone who's supposedly an expert.

Good thing he's an old testament expert and not a Hebrew bible or quran one then. You think Bush was referring to the Gog and Magog from the Hebrew bible or from the Quran or from the old testament ? Should have called an Hebrew or an Islam expert instead of an protestand Old Testament expert ?

Here's a different report of how things happened: https://wp.unil.ch/allezsavoir/george-bush-et-le-code-ezechi... and that might shed a light on why you think Gog and Magog is not as well known in France as you seem to think they are.

It takes less energy to cool down an interior space by one degree than heat it by one degree. You don't see active water crises in Arizona or California like you have in Jackson, Mississippi.
It's going to be the people who extract the resources though. Heated debates don't have a lot of bearing on this.
Yeah. Of all the crazy climate-related goings on, this one surprised me the most. I never considered the possibility that the natural warming of water systems would compromise nuclear power. It makes sense; I’d just never considered it!
It can solve the problem: that doesn't mean there aren't other potential issues that need to be handled correctly. Take France for instance - it's currently becoming a net importer of electricity due to many (~60%) of its Nuclear reactors being offline for maintenance.
it's pretty basic math, just look at the input/output for each energy type. Nuclear is the only option possible to maintain current living standards other than fossil fuels, moving to other renewables would 100% require the entire planet to accept lower quality of life for the first time since the industrial revolution
They also allow you to use a wrench/pliers to apply more torque/holding.
I've heard people saying that it's not possible to meet "quality" ladies in bars. Not been my experience at all. I met my SO in a nightclub in Japan. I've met a previous girlfriend in a bar in New York and my first girlfriend in a nightclub in Spain. All of them are highly educated with two of them having Phds.

And, my experience doesn't seem to indicate that meeting interesting people in bars only happens in certain countries.

That said, I didn't necessarily go to the bars or nightclubs purely with the objective of dating. I went there to have fun, dance and meet people (men and women).
