Where are you flying out of curiosity? Flying over sparsely populated areas of rockies in Colorado, I very frequently have cell service. Having said that, nothing wrong with being prepared, I'm just curious about your situation. I might start doing that too. I always figured if I actually went down, landing would be the hard part, not staying alive once I landed.
Isn't total cost per reactor more constraining than cost per Wh for these mega projects? Say you spend $10B on a reactor that produces essentially free energy. You're still limited by plant lifetime, maintenance and crucially transportation of that energy – just breaking even would be a challenge in many locations. Thus, we have to have many plants distributed, similar to today's fission, at somewhere in the 500MW range per reactor (give or take an OOM).

In short, we have diminishing returns for giant reactors, and instead need to have plants that can be mass produced, fast.
Is a link to a web based manual page really useful and noteworthy?

I don't silence unknown callers on my home land line - I put up a very simple IVR.

Interactive Voice Response, an IVR is a set of prerecorded voice prompts linked to a set of key presses which might perform actions, you'll know what I mean by the following:

"Please press 1 if you think we would like to talk with you; 2 to leave a voicemail; If you are making an unsolicited sales call then please hang up."

I chose the words quite carefully to be quick and get the message across. The initial please is to give you an extra tiny amount of time to understand what is going on as well as being polite.

We don't get much voice spam on our landline. To be honest - none that I can remember. Landlines are less of a target these days I think. Ours basically screws with auto diallers which seem to be the bulk of spam callers, that try to detect a person answering and hand off to an agent.

If I can manage that on my own landline surely a trillion dollar company can manage something far fancier for their customers.

"Turn on Silence Unknown Callers" is a bit rubbish - it's only an allow list. I do that too and deny lists but the IVR is the real filter.

An allow list (which would have been called a whitelist) is soooooo 1990s!
Thanks, that's a much calmer balanced view. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ce5TR-qWCk4&t=3574s this vid has a great and lengthy analysis on the economic situation in Europe. Basically, Europe and Germany will be fine because they can afford the burden for awhile and may even still grow economically. Russia has stabilised their economy for the moment with drastic intervention, but they are time limited.

I can tell you with great certainty that at least some of the biggest institutions that are legally hedge funds do use options. And I consider highly leveraged derivatives to be non linear (because they are on the downside), which may be an abuse of common parlance.

It's going to be fairly difficult to give a source, though.
CRLite builds a cascade of Bloom filters to ensure no false positives.

For Firefox end users, a certificate only gets tested against the filter cascade if it is known to have been included in its creation (by examining the embedded SCT timestamps). If it's not definite that the certificate was used to generate the filter, then Firefox reverts to OCSP.

> no one gives a fuck about anyone other than themselves and actively fucks over other people to get ahead the tiniest amount

American culture also prizes traditional notions of community. (In a sense, this is its present political crisis.) The flip side of communal cultures is the stifling of individual choice and identity, the latter particularly problematic for anyone who diverges from the community’s ideal.

Note that independence and individuality are similar concepts. But they’re distinct. Individualism is the American cultural trait that inspires competitiveness and sociopathy. Independence seeks to open one’s options but also not be a burden to others. It can be framed selfishly or altruistically depending on the circumstances, which is why I don’t think bringing judgement into such comparisons at the start is productive.
Many people have responded to this argument across many different threads, but just to reiterate: this is just the exact opposite of true. Google's ads are very, very easy to block, and you could do it with a one-line chrome extension. The vast majority of complexity in ad blockers is required for other ads that live outside of Google's ecosystem. If you really believed that Google was making their MV3 changes based on their business goals for their ads team (a pretty ludicrous idea when you think about how big Google is and how far separated the ads department and extensions teams are), then the inescapable conclusion is that Google should be supporting ad blockers themselves, to hurt the smaller companies that threaten their monopoly by trying to work around ad blockers.
> at the police chasing him"

Just so that we're clear, calling the West as "the police" as you do with your analogy just reinforces Russia's claim that we now live in a unipolar world, of which the US is the policeman (hence Russia's desire to split it all into a multi-polar world, no police chasing bad guys without international due-process there).

My favourite sobriquet for MS has long been the DOS view of an Office 97 installation in the filesystem:

MICROS~1

(Long name, Microsoft Office.)

So if you create files called MICROS~2 - MICROS~0 in theory you can create enough abbreviated names that there are not available short names for long filenames you wish to create. Every LFN must have a "real" 8.3 counterpart.

It's not whataboutism.

It's ridiculous to me we went all in on sanctions pretending they would bend over and keep doing business with us, but only on things we want them to, after we deny them machinery, computers, software, cars and steal/freeze their assets.

Your analogy doesn't work, we aren't police and they are not shooting, they quit doing business and decided they are okay without our money.

If the package is available as a wheel, you don't need to execute code to see what the requirements are; you just need to parse the "METADATA" file. However, the only way to get the METADATA for a wheel (using PyPA standard APIs, anyway) is to download the whole wheel.

For comparison, pacman (the Arch Linux package manager) packages have fairly similar ".PKGINFO" file in them; but in order to support resolving dependencies without downloading the packages, the server's repository index includes not just a listing of the (name, version) tuple for each package, it also includes each package's full .PKGINFO.

Enhancing the PyPA "Simple repository API" to allow fetching the METADATA independently of the wheel would be a relatively simple enhancement that would make a big difference.

Check the version summaries. Think it was Julia 171 or something. There's lots of bugs like that that crop up every other release.

Segfaults happen all the time with FFI. But yea OOM is a killer. Julia runtime guzzles RAM, but pkg add any of the sciml stuff and watch your RAM explode. Doesn't take much data to lose a half hour of your life installing a package...
No, because 10 is not a power of 2, so any digit in the source (base 10) can affect any digit in the result (base 2). Converting from e.g. base 16 to base 2 is linear, because 16 is a power of 2.
This is the first time I've ever heard a Russia apologist even try to call it "Ukraine's war". Almost like it's a surprise Ukraine fought back when Russia invaded.

Even Putin was honest enough to call it an invasion and limited his lies to attempts to justify it.

Yes retaliation for sanctions can be expected. But Russia is still the bad actor here.

> I have a Garmin InReach with a 1 inch antenna and it works fine

Your definition of the word “fine” is apparently rather generous. Be in an actual emergency situation and the InReach is down right frustrating as hell, but “better than nothing”. I don’t have optimism for Apple’s offering either for the record.
There's a difference between whether a name is sufficiently distinguished to trademark and whether it is prohibited as "market manipulation." One certainly could not trademark the word "phone," but it would be perfectly legal to sell a phone branded as such.

Imagine you translate a book into 5 different languages. Then bind the five translations into a single volume. At the front, you put a brief table of contents listing the page number at which each translation begins. Each reader opens the book, checks the table of contents, then jumps to the page containing the translation in their language. All readers are reading the same book, but each reads the translation in their language. Unless you don’t know any of those five languages, in which case the book is unreadable for you.

Technically more accurate and complete than your answer, but an analogy I expect most non-technical people could understand.
One example I like to use (when talking about entropy):

A four digit numeric PIN (that we know) has 0 bits of entropy. There is no uncertainty about what the PIN actually is. A randomly selected one (that we do not know) has just over 13 bits.

print(math.log(10)/math.log(2)*4)

13.28771237954945

The more entropy, the more uncertain we are.

However, humans are not random. We use the year we were born, some keyboard sequence or some other predictable number as our PIN. We don't know exactly how much entropy these PINS have (there is some degree of uncertainty), but we do know they are significantly less than 13 bits.

What exactly did we do? I'm not sure. There was lots of meetings. And proposals. And trips to Dubai. And nice dinners. And executives with vague titles like "VP Special Projects".

I think Dubai's economy fizzed out at about the same time that we discovered our owner was squandering/embezzling their investments in us.

Source my friend? I worked in hedge funds for almost two decades. All of them touched options plenty. There is a big difference between using options to get a particular risk/reward exposure you want and clueless retail chasing some meme short squeeze nonsense which has the expected value of a drunk newbie sitting down at a Vegas poker table.
Nobody has done it. Nobody has put forth a credible theoretical model on how to do it. If you believe otherwise please show how it can be done. With details.

Ex-consultant here. It's an amazing choice to get into business...then gtfo.

There's a certain kind of person who thrives in consulting and good for them - it pays really well, you're seen as an expert, and for partners it's pretty 9-5.

But it requires a very clear line of ownership - like this article alluded to, if a client wants to piss away $1 billion, that's their choice. I'm here to support you however. I'll disagree, but not too hard.

If you can walk that line, and sprint for the ~10 years to get there, it can be a very good life.

Sounds like the europlug, which is compatible with shuko outlets. Also, IMO a recessed outlet is superior, because it provides some additional support, both against slipping out and breaking off.
Apple might release an emergency patch for an old device, but it’s not safe for you to keep using that device unless they’re committing to support the device with security patches on an ongoing basis.

I think they should support even very old iPhones with updates because:

1) They can’t afford to make an iPhone for $50.

2) Even if they could, they don’t want to make a $50 iPhone because it would be terrible and the margin minimal.

3) Supporting old phones allows a second-hand market for iPhones to thrive in the Chinese-Android-phone-bargain price tier where Apple can’t compete with new devices (this is in fact already the case given that there’s a used market for old iPhones).

4) Once someone buys (e.g. an iPhone 6S) used for $50 you can immediately start making them an iCloud customer for recurring revenue.

tldr; I think Apple views used device sales as a lost purchase for them instead of the massive subsidy that it is in terms of the cost associated with onboarding a new customer. (Apple should be overjoyed that someone is willing to sell a first-time prospective Apple customer an iPhone 6S for $50. The factory couldn’t make them the phone wholesale for that price, and it gets someone into the ecosystem).
> big difference between using options to get a particular risk/reward exposure

Sorry, it was my turn to be imprecise.

Most hedge funds aren’t taking exposure through options but managing risk with them. Most asset managers never touch options. Most professional money managers (institutional; I’m not counting FAs) are not at hedge funds.
It's a very impressive accomplishment. I support retro mac ppc/32/64, Windows 32 and 64, Linux on Intel and on Raspberry Pi, and signed mac Intel and Apple Silicon, for every (audio DSP, generic interface, mac AU and VST2.4) plugin I make. https://www.airwindows.com/

But I do it with lots of different available downloads, not as a single binary. That's what I find impressive about this. Somebody's running that XCode mod where you can bring in all the libraries from all the previous versions back to the dawn of time. I'm not even going to pretend to try to keep something like that working: I do my retro builds (and original design) on an antique machine dedicated to the purpose, and the modern stuff on a modern laptop dedicated to staying current.
As mentioned above, DoD uses smart strategies around certificate validation.

Nuclear wastes are incredibly small, the whole energy you would need in your life would fill a soda can of wastes, if only nuclear was used.

Geological repositories are an excellent solution. Those place are geologically stable, and can contain thousand of years of wastes. It’s not very expensive to collect wastes there, as well!
Take away the most convenient interface (the 3.5mm mini plug) that works on all devices equally and replace it with something you can do better than anyone else.

Most companies don't have those types of options.
Fusion plants also need to absorb the neutrons coming out of the reactor and secure themselves a supply of tritium for their reaction. The most common solution is to do all three with a blanket of molten lithium that can absorb neutrons and heat from the reaction, transmute into tritium, and go through a heat exchanger with water to heat it up.
I really wish this sort of thing would either be better thought through or better articulated. 10 million acres is enormous. And is it continuous supply (if so, how?) Or just supply when it's sunny?
A DIP switch, really? Could you imagine the horrendous usability. Plus all that mechanical movement will surely cause early failure. Much better to just have some solder pads. With the cost and performance of USB/battery irons these days surely most users can keep one handy. This completely solves the challenge of accidental pairing and helps the user ensure each device switch is contemplated and intentional.

inmarsat does sell a handheld satellite phone product (google "inmarsat isatphone") which uses narrow band data channels and handhelds to talk to geostationary satellites. Its coverage is not quite as solid or reliable as iridium, because you can be easily obstructed by a mountain on your south side if you're at latitude 45N or something, and doesn't extend beyond about 70 degrees north, but it's also priced cheaper than iridium for the hardware and the monthly service.

what most people think of as a satellite phone is indeed LEO since iridium has the lion's share of the market.

Good point, I guess I personally prefer communal cultures and my bias framed my view of American culture as a result.

Still, you’re taking close to the No true Scotsman fallacy; if American independent culture relies on local community, and that’s broken right now due to tons of fighting and negative politics, that means our culture is basically broken. I would argue American culture doesn’t work without the situation where locals take care of locals.
Yes, but most of the time that fusion reactor is behind a giant hunk of iron covered in various other matter. Even when in the sky, the sky itself is an effective insulator that only allows 1/4 of the energy through.

That's why we are considering placing a converter above the sky to more efficiently pierce the sky with energy.
