These codes are really just little puzzles, modern cryptography has no weaknesses of the kind these codes have.

There are even sites that teach you about bad modern cryptography, like cryptohack [0] but in general the kind of skills you learn there won't be useful either unless you happen to find a piece of software that rolled their own crypto and did something really dumb (which does happen, occasionally, see the Sony PS3 hack where they used a not-so-random value for crypto, which made it broken)

I’m in California, and it’s not bad really. I didn’t have a power cut of more than 15 mins in the last decade. It’s PGE which has been asking for lowering power usage a couple of weeks a year, in peak hours between 4-9 PM. Residential Solar usage is high compared to other states. It is hardly expensive for folks here to install a 10kW system, when housing costs are what they are. We charge our cars during the day, at work or home if wfh, between 10-4PM. Folks without solar charge them after midnight typically. If there are power cuts they are usually localized, and usually in areas with high fire risk(due to heat) so it kind of evens out in the end. Myself, I have solar and a EV and I keep my AC at 70 most of the day.
Nuclear power is among the most expensive forms of energy available to us. "Too cheap to meter" never materialized. A "FUCKTON" of nuclear plants will also take decades to build and produce zero power while under construction.

I've been having an absolutely blast with Stable Diffusion and have stumbled upon a few images that I have found to be quite incredible. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed making them!

Okay, I see this reality isn't politically correct for you so I'll not push it too much.

If actual Conservatives can't convince you this is in your best interest then I have no chance.

But this is a good example of why the UK is and probably will continue to be hit hardest by this. The EU will be working together, and UK businesses will be selling out to them for profit, and the only politically acceptable solutions will be economic self-harm, leaving the UK with the worst possible outcome.
California should be asking people not to buy EVs at all!

They should be massively investing in public transport and active transport.

But no, the obsession with private automobile ownership will continue to damn us all.
OP’s assertion is unnecessary. Whether you have solar or not, for most people it won’t be hard to avoid charging between 4-9pm.

Many things are possible between now and 2035, and a mandate/subsidy for landlords to install chargers is one of those possibilities.

I'm curious who your power company is and how long ago that happened. If you're in the US do you happen to know if FERC got involved?

Utilities and grid operators that run retail-level demand-response programs typically cycle air conditioning units by turning them on and off throughout the day or by setting the thermostat a few degrees higher in more modern systems. I've never heard of a demand response program completely shutting off anyone's air conditioning for more than an hour, that sounds like either a technical failure and/or a wildly incompetent demand response program. Either way it's frustrating because it gives responsibly managed demand response programs a bad reputation.

Having said that, if the peaker plants are running full tilt and the demand response program isn't able to curtail enough usage then the next step is rolling blackouts. Is there a chance that's what happened, or did the rest of your power remain on?
Facebook just designs too much to data/metrics, doesn't feel like anyone there really has a vision for what they're building. End of the day without that everything they build will ultimately be soulless because building to the vision is what imparts soul into a product.

Well, you kind of underline my point: Rust does not encode the difference between "is true" and "was, at least briefly, true" in the type system. You can reach for other types/abstractions (and whatever data you touch inside the if might also have the borrow checker up in arms), but that above code as written is suspect.

You should ask the French politicians who passed a law to turn off ALL NUCLEAR PLANTS back in 2015: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-07-22/france-to...

No plan for a backup, those aged reactors more than served their time.

The word you're looking for is "Incompetence". It is also poetic that the present fleet of French Nuclear plants was built to wean France off another energy crisis in the aftermath of the oil cartels moves. It seems history repeats itself for those who dont learn from it.
I’ve done the math multiple times. It makes no sense in my area. I would pay more for panels then I would save in electricity. Once the panels are paid off they need to be replaced. If you don’t buy a battery you have to rely on the good will of the power company to pay fair rates for 30 years. Those rates were cut in half last year. The battery only has a 10-year life expectancy so needs to be financed over that time period or less. You’ll have to pay for removal and re-installation when your 15-year roof needs replacing.

Until prices come down, it makes no sense for me.

Probably because of the sheer weight of electrics cars.

Tesla model 3 can weigh up to 4250 lbs vs a standard compact car like civic at 3126 lbs.

F150 lighting is 6015 lbs vs 4690 lbs that regular one weighs.

More weight results in quicker tire wear.
I think the only way is a reliable third party (like the booking company) where the customer still owns the money but it is temporal locked for the airline till like flight + 1h or so.

Like the airline has a guarantee that the money shows up at the moment where it is needed and in doubt we could also have a system where the no-show fee can be "sub-locked".

The consumer on the other hand, never waives the money over until he is needed to (by confirming to the no-show or actually flying).

Similar systems exists for example for Visa guarantees. Interestingly, considering other success rates the airline should do they same for their punishment if they cancel ;)
Secret ballots are only helpful once everyone's already made a decision internally about what to do.

In the scenario described, the problem wasn't people not choosing the better ideas because they were afraid of retaliation. It was them thinking the louder ideas were better because they were louder.

It's very hard to solve problems like this with fancy procedures. IMO what's needed is a cultural shift to respect people's opinions and not lionize the loud and flashy.
> ... demanding compensation is a cumbersome process but you can get it ...

Honestly this sounds like a point to address in addition?

I'm pretty sure I already give a mailing address to airlines upon booking. You could require airlines to immediately -- say, within 5 business days -- mail a check to all passengers after canceling a flight under the stated conditions, rather than letting them wait until each passenger complains individually. Maybe let passengers elect to either receive a check for $X or a travel voucher for $Y > $X when booking.
> I eventually figured out that I had to swipe up a little arrow at the bottom of the screen, but using a mouse. Why?

Forced swipes are one of the most disgusting feature ever; they are always configured with some kind of inertial threshold so that you need to do the exact movement the designer expected.

On touchscreen they are even worse as sometimes if you are holding the device in an unusual way or have a cover that slightly blocks the side of the screen the "correct" movement can be impossible.

Apparently Windows 10 briefly experimented with forcing them for the login (click, enter, and any other key would do nothing), but it has not happened in a while.
"How would an airline capacity plan with just a reservation?"

Responsibly perhaps?

So they make the most effort to make sure the service is delivered since it will only be paid if they can deliver? I know it is a novelty idea paying for only the received service when received, something never been used throughout the history before as one always had to pay well in advance and then may or may not receive the service paid for, but perhaps we could get used to this very novel and revolutionary idea, no? : )

I believe this paying for something not delivered yet and run circles getting back if not delivered at all on the agreed terms is in the benefit of the airlines. Being abused many many times. Otherwise we wouldn't have needed extensive and stict regulations about compensations. This may change. There is a desire for it from customers.
Rest of power was fine, no rolling blackouts. Let me see if I can find any news articles from the time. I wasn't the only one it happened to, and apparently despite how it was sold, contract allowed for longer periods.

I attribute most of this to iMessage and the associated lock-in effect.

You don't see the same trend in the rest of the world where 3rd party messengers (Whatsapp, Viber, Line, snapchat, etc) are mostly used for comms.

The inability of iPhones to easily host 'cracked' apps also acts as an anchor to adoption - theres a lot of people hooked on their cracked ad-free spotify or youtube apps, or games with 'everything free'.
Can an M1A2 ride across the USA without breaking down?

Reading https://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/monograph_reports..., page number 29 (page 53 of the PDF), it seems many would break down if driven only 375 km. That’s less than the range you claim they have.

That’s one reasons why tanks, when not in action, get transported on trailers.

The text even says “significant numbers of failures were recorded during months with zero usage”, indicating that keeping a M1 parked isn’t easy, either.
m$ is buying a significant part of the game publishers and game dev studios. That may suffocate most alternative platforms other than doz based(= proton insane bloat), sony will suffer A LOT to keep up, and I don't know if nintendo even with their zelda and mario will be able to keep their own platform for a long time.

Ofc, there is a anti-trust issue: that said how many significant US tech companies are not steered by directors "owned" by the blackrock and vanguard funds (when you look into the details)?

I am still drinking ristrettos from starbucks (vanguarded/blackrocked via m$ ceo and apple board member) because it is very hard to find drinkable alternatives anywhere else (irony...).

> Reading ad-hoc is fine if you just want to observe the value at some point in time.

There are such cases, indeed. Double-checked locking comes to mind. But if the code inside the if does assume the atomic to have a given value, it is almost surely wrong (absent of other synchronization mechanisms, such as in double-checked locking).
It's really impressive. Playback seems not to work in Firefox Nightly on Android but Chrome on Android works great.

An ingroup that is protected by the law but not bound by it.

So maximum liberty for me and law and order for thee.

Another example:
Best defense against a "bad guy with a gun" (outgroup) is a "good guy with a gun" (ingroup).

See also Rhodesia, Jim Crow South, apartheid South Africa, and Western Expansion under the Homesteading acts.

This is how some people can claim they want both maximum freedom but also, maximum autocracy and arbitrary authority entrusted in deputies.

It's how the same people can have cruel hot takes when there's a minority killed by police but pull their hair out if one of their religious or political leaders is taken to court.

It's not inconsistent. There's different systems applied to groups that get different labels. Could be based on the geographic coordinates of where they were born, perceived skin color, what religion they may vaguely be associated with, ethnic identity, personal wealth, the gender they sleep with or identify as, political identity, citizenship status, whatever. One group doesn't have the right to have rights. That's the crucial part. How to get there is somewhat arbitrary.

It's best if it's just a tiny bit porous so there's a token instance where the classification is broken so it can be pointed to in order to deny the system exists. See antisemitic organizations with an ethnic Jewish person involved, white supremacist organizations run by a non-white person, anti-feminist organizations run by a woman, etc. They play an important role in perpetuating such systems

Switching off AC for 8 hours (1/3 of day) when you are not at home doesn't save even 10% of energy, you will just burn the "saved" energy trying to cool down the house when you will switch it on again. There was study published just last week about it.

> until they suddenly find themselves a minority in their own capital, as happened to the English

When you say "the English" can you be more clear? Are you suggesting it's a problem if Scottish, Welsh, or Northern Irish people move to the capital of their own country, the UK? I don't think that's what you meant.

44.9% of people in London were white British according to the 2011 census, but 63% were born in Britain. The British are still a majority in London (according to the latest data). I don't think the 2021 census numbers for London by ethnicity are out yet (maybe I'm wrong).

The only way your comment makes sense is if you're suggesting it's a problem that white British being a minority is a problem.

I hope that's not what you meant to imply.

Did anyone actually read the article? This is not about literally paying at the check-in, nor is it about not having to pay if you do not check in. It's merely about delaying the payment transaction until check-in/departure time, so that in case the flight gets canceled beforehand, the customer does not have to request a refunding (which, as we all know, can be very cumbersome) but simply won't pay in the first place.
A grid mostly powered by thermal electricity is going to struggle when it gets hot.

California does have serious infrastructure issues, mostly due to deliberate lack of maintenance on the part f the commercial operators trying to squeeze every dollar of profit out of their ageing infrastructure. There’s an entire distribution grid that needs to be replaced before it literally falls apart.

California has had problematic energy supply since the ‘80s. The problems have been getting steadily worse due to lack of maintenance, lack of upgrades, heat waves getting longer and more numerous, more frequent droughts, and poor water resource management.

There are a lot of people pushing this article on every social network. It’s a rude awakening to see how many people just take the headline and run with it before they spend any time considering the claims in the context of reality.

The state is doing a lot on all three of these fronts.

Public transport is hard because construction costs are absurdly high in areas of high density, there aren’t enough people in areas with low density, and asinine restrictive zoning prevents increasing density over time. But it is happening.

In the meantime, people love their cars, and will continue to drive them. Banning cars entirely would disproportionately affect folks who have to commute long distances to afford housing, not great. So might as well mandate that the fleet turn over to something less harmful to the planet’s ability to support our way of life.

In economic terms, if they could sell the produce for more money to the UK and use that money to buy food to feed themselves, then they'd come out ahead.

Instead, very similar to what the UK is doing with gas, they sell the gas to the EU and keep the profits in private hands and let the poor people starve/freeze.
