I was involved in making a server that bricked itself if you opened the cover, for added FIPS security. So let me tell you all of the things that can go wrong:

Is the switch mounted on sheet-metal? Well you will discover that sheet metal bending is an imprecise process. You need to generate a mechanical tolerance stack-up that accounts for the worst-case opening. What happens if the server flexes a little?

How precise is the open point of the switch?

The sense side of the circuit is high impedance. The wire will act as an antenna and detect any noise in your device.

How can a user replace the battery without triggering the tamper detect?

How sensitive is your switch to shipping vibrations?

Anyway, the experience gave me a good appreciation for those who make landmine triggers :-)

correct. as an industry we threw out battle-tested GUI toolkits and programming models for something completely backward. 15-20 years later we have excel in the browser. great. The no-deployment (for deployment is too often an after-thought of the main functionality) model was too attractive and blinded people to the costs.

The 90s were great, not because they had the best experiences possible at the time, but because there was such anticipation for the future. Sadly the web did not evolve quickly enough, and we have been paying the price ever since.

The only place where GUI apps have reigned supreme is in trading applications in finance, although I suspect that dominance is beginning to erode.
Good point, so you buy 4 panels for $400 USD. Next what do you need: wiring, mounting, inverter, storage - I'd like to set up a fridge at the camp, any idea the price on everything I would need?
WebAssembly is an open standard and I don't really see how it's any bigger a problem than asm.js or obfuscated JS already was.
> The web was designed to publish documents, it was never intended to build applications.

This is false. Various inputs and forms were in html since its early days, these are not required to simply publish and view a document but to interact with text and graphical content.

It did lack the ability to do "rich" content/apps and flash tried to fill in that gap, html5 came a bit late but I hope it is forward compatible. Would an html5 app from 2015 run fine in 2035?

It's pretty hard to say without being really case specific to be honest. You'd be better off creating a minimal example of your work in all 3 and comparing them with some kind of load test. For us we find we can handle huge amounts of requests very effectively but we also lean heavily on postgres which is hard to remove from the equation for us.

I'm not really a huge fan of arbitrary benchmarks as they're often not equally optimised for each platform being tested.

Elixir and BEAM are optimised for distributed computing work though, so multiple web requests coming it and taking on a process of their own is a perfect fit though.

Taxes in Euroland are already quite high.

A quick google[1] reckons people on low incomes spend as much as 35% of their income on healthcare alone, before pay any taxes. You need to be earning a lot in Europe before you get even close to that.

If you're on a low-to-average income then Europe is probably better. If you're rich then America is better.

> and if you need a better plan (to control deductibles, etc)

I switched to an ACA marketplace plan this year, and... there are no caps for 'out of network' services. "Out of network" deductible is $35k/person. "Out of network" max "out of pocket" is "no max". Insane. And this is a $1100/month plan for 2 people.

After all they are serving to the advance of science also (and saving thousands of expensive hours of research to other). If you want to promote it, just create incentives.

Otherwise, If the cheater wins in a 95% of the times and the verifier does not have anything to gain (and will damage their own research by the time invested on this) after a while only cheaters remain [1].

They didn’t wait on industry consensus. They basically worked with one company - Intel - and put the port on Macs. They definitely didn’t have to wait on the government to give them permission.
I think that basically what it's doing is saying "Here's all the energy that Britain consumes, divided by their total population". So sure, your electricity might only be 2100kWh, but did the government resurface a road nearby? Did you think about the fuel burned to transport the food you bought in the supermarket etc.
One thing I was surprised to learn, mostly because growing up I always thought of AC as extravagant, it’s more energy efficient to cool a building than it is to heat it.
PyPaperBot uses scihub to download papers so there is not problem for that.

Or it could be like publishing a paper that says smoking tobacco is harmful and then people cut down their smoking and… become healthier.

I normally pay $550/mo for high deductible for me individually, but actually pay $42/mo right now because I wasn't making much money this year. ACA FTW.

I just got a job that comes with great insurance, though, so that's the end of all that.
> The reason exponential speedups are required is due to the extreme cost of quantum computing R&D and extremely limited quantum computers that come out of it.

Hmmm. I'm no mathematician; but I thought the value of an "exponential speedup" is if you are trying to solve a problem with "exponential complexity".

I don't know if "exponential compexity" is a thing; I'm pretty sure "exponential speedup" isn't. Is it correct to say that a quantum factoring machine has an "exponential speedup"? Isn't it more accurate to say that the exponential difficulty is a property of the classical algorithms, not of the problem itself?
I've found the opposite, though it likely depends on how "good" your insurance was. My COBRA was around $800/mo for a single person but that was essentially for a zero deductible plan.

I could get reasonable short term plans for about a quarter of that. As a healthy individual that was definitely the right choice for me, but if you have high utilization already it might not be for you.

Despite his dubious past, the billionaire John Arnold has focused time and money to amend scientific research. I've read maybe 2 years ago about that endeavor and followed him on Twitter ; I found it quite interesting and original. For example, he offers researchers to save their initial data (before any screening) so that other researchers can check which cases were thrown out of the study. He also funded reproduction tests. I haven't followed since, so I hope he kept on doing good work.

Correct. To square the circle, consider that while they're being fined heavily for their involvement in a massive legally-sanctioned opioid epidemic, the major drug companies aren't even being dissolved.

Also stop it. Each and every time the same thing. Apple, Microsoft, Google and Amazon and basically every company in the history of mankind shows that once an organization becomes large enough it doesn't really matter who is at the figurative helm.

Countries could expropriate billionaires and nothing would really change, they don't do for 2 reasons:

1) because a certain mass of people are so deluded that they think that one day they'll become one, so they panic because the 0.0000000001% of chances they had becomes 0%.

2) Other countries would start a race to the bottom so if the US decides to expropriate then Canada could go come here we only take 80%!, Switzerland could say 50%! Bahamas could then scream 10% all the way down.

Taking the articles figure of 77,000 kWh per year per person. Lets call it 100,000 (10^5) kWh per year per person and a population of 10 billion (10^10) people, we are looking at 10^15 kWh/year of energy, which is about 10^14 watts. Earth receives about 10^17 watts of solar energy, so we are looking at an increase of about %0.1 of the energy budget. This is ignoring energy coming from non solar sources (there is a lot of geothermnal energy coming from within the planet, but I'm not sure what rate that makes it to the surface).

Interestingly, this still overestimates the role of our waste heat for an even simpler reason: much of it was going to be heat anyway. Waste heat generated from fossil fuels is pure extra energy (although that effect is still dwarfed by the greenhouse effect for anything beyond the very local area). Nuclear is effectively net positive on heat as the natural half life of the fuel is far longer then when it is put in a reactor.
However, solar energy is by definition part of that 10^17 watts of energy that is going to hit the Earth weather we generated electrons from it or not (Granted, solar panels probably reflect less of that energy back into space). Wind energy is pulling kinetic energy out of the air that would have become heat. Geothermal is taking advantage of heat that was already there (although we accelerate how quickly it reaches the surface). Hydroelectic energy would have become heat once the water finished loosing its potential energy when it reaches sea level.
also noteworthy is that grep -P will now use PCRE2 instead of PCRE, which is potentially a breaking change for anyone using grep -P in their shell scripts
As someone from outside the US, I have two questions:

1) are these amounts tax deductible?

2) given the size of these amounts, OP’s statement that these are a big barrier to going independent would seem totally reasonable. Doesn’t this have a chilling effect on new business formation? If so, how is the US still so well known for startups? It seems significantly riskier than in other countries with better safety nets.
No, a forced medical intervention would involve holding someone down and forcibly injecting a substance, forcing them to take a pill or submit to an operation. This is much more correctly characterized as coercion.

Muscle memory is a bitch. Two things I’ve done going from a manual to an automatic, sometimes a year after:

Slam on the brake as if you’re using the clutch. Automatic brake pedals are more than wide enough to accommodate two feet, and attempting to upshift and slamming on the brake instead can really rattle your brain bucket.

Throw the automatic into park. Less of an issue these days, but it used to attempt to actually go into park, with the shenanigans you’d imagine there would be as the parking pin attempted to engage with the forcefully spinning gears.
I am absolutely a manual gearbox fan for driving experience, and that's in Aus where it's not really idolized like it is in America. A lot more manuals here. But you are dead right. I think because it lacks all of the mechanical apparatus anyway, it's not like driving a regular car in automatic, it's like driving a different kind of vehicle. So you don't miss the gearbox.

All that said, I do appreciate the tendency for Japanese car companies to take care with the act of doing in their cars. I know Porsche gets the trophy for wholistic driving experiences, but Japan is doing a great job of bringing some of that back from the 90s bubble era cars.

Worth noting that tje ability to catch an IMSI or SUPI in the clear depends on whether the packet core implements concealed identifiers (SUCI) with real encryption. IIRC there are three possible encryption schemes and one of them is "null encryption".

I don't know if I even need to continue supporting Spotify anymore.

Between Discogs and YouTube, I am having no trouble discovering and acquiring high quality content that can be used arbitrarily. For a period of time, I thought that old-school CDs were actually dead. Today, I get regular emails from la-la land records about incredibly esoteric 90s cartoon soundtracks that I can purchase new. I believe that there has never been a better time to get into physical media. I've got a lot of stuff on hand that you cannot listen to on Spotify. You won't even find some of these artists or "labels" in there.

Spotify also puts me in a really bad mood when they decide certain content is no longer permitted for playback. Every time this happens I spend about 3 hours ripping my most recently-favorited tracks via audio driver trickery, just in case it happens again.

The only value proposition for me is that their app is ubiquitous and can be controlled from any device. If I could find something similar to the Spotify application experience that I could point at my own backend, I think I might go for it.

And, I totally get the other target audience: People who just want some mindless background music or podcast while they drive or do cardio. Spotify is amazing at this, but it's not really a big selling point for me. Definitely not enough value for me to pay a monthly subscription fee.
But also definitely comparison shop independent plans vs COBRA. COBRA can also be really expensive.

Not that story telling is the ultimate solution, but I share the frustration. So many of these old stories are essentially coming true, and there's not much discussion on it by most people.

That said, we have some very good cautionary tales like black mirror that make people think, but those are very few. In fact, most stories in this genre start with "in an apocalyptic world where people X, Y happens".

It would be nice to see some modern black-mirror quality adaptations of ideas by H.G. Wells, Isaac Asimov, and even authors like Mark Twain would be great.

If EV adoption is low in your metro area, then EVs may only be convenient for home owners and folks who live near charging stations until more people get EVs.

Once there is a critical mass of EVs in your area (or even just passing through), then stations will pop up everywhere.

I live in a non-urban coastal area of California, and there are multiple EV stations at almost every mall and every Target within an hour drive of where I live (probably wider than that, but I haven’t really checked).

People pay 50% of their income in taxes in states like California without rioting, so I don't see why attempts to reduce rent seeking would be any different. Any income generated from an land value tax is money that can be saved with less efficient forms of taxation. IMO, this has more to do with lack of economic knowledge rather than anything else. People don't realize that making housing affordable completely opposite from making it a good investment.

I don’t mean to sound like a troll, though if you’ve ever wondered why companies require degrees (which I don’t have yet I am above average literate and acknowledge their purpose), this is an example.

Those who are not “competent” readers, those who skim without obligation, those who lack established conventions for due diligence, they are troublesome and put the burden of minimum standards upon others.

A minimum degree is one way of establishing that such standards are met.

It may not be seen as relevant, though college level literacy is a standard which supports my point, and is undermined by your response.

I recommend taking responsibility for becoming a more diligent reader. You will benefit in many ways! Such as knowing and appreciating concise qualitative written requirements when you see them.

I first saw it around 1998 I think, in my early teens, and it made the same impression on me. So many of the ideas were amazing! It was also around this time I saw Terminator 2, RoboCop and The Fifth Element for the first time also. And then another few years later when my english teacher in secondary school had us watch the Matrix on VHS. It wasn't until I watched it in my own time I appreciated it. So many good films, rose tinted glasses!

Big spammers own multiple ranges of IPs just as easily as they own multiple domains. When you block only 1 of their range, they can re-use their same domains to spam you from other ranges. If you blocked by domain, this would be effective across all their ranges of IPs.

So, in your example, blocking by IP isn't necessarily superior to blocking by domain (and vice versa.)

Once again: it's possible to have the tools and infrastructure manage domain reputation and do a job as good as (and arguably better than) IP reputation. Also to consider: IPs can be acquired by spammers for nearly $0 (eg: destroy+recreate VPS to get a new IP for free), whereas domain names have a fixed cost of ~$10 USD per year per domain. So if you have a system that manages domain reputation and has 1 million domain in the blacklist, you know for a fact that you are burning ~$10M/year of spammers' money.
