California isn't awash in energy. Per the EIA's web site[1], it imports 30% of its electricity. California is suffering from generation and storage poverty.

"In 2021, California was the fourth-largest electricity producer in the nation, but the state was also the nation’s second-largest consumer of electricity, and in 2020, it received about 30% of its electricity supply from generating facilities outside of California, including imports from Mexico."
There's a very simple fix for this problem: don't buy inkjet printers. Only buy laser printers. In addition to avoiding this kind of problem, you'll avoid many other problems, such as ink drying out and cartridges needing to be replaced because you didn't print anything for 2 months.
> Crypto and Covid are 2 great examples of how the less information people have, the more sure they are

Funny because this applies to people who are big time into crypto and those who bought completely into the Covid narrative. If those people did even a small amount of research they’d understand why skeptics are probably right to be skeptical. If they did their homework they wouldn’t lose all their money to scammers and they wouldn’t flush two years of their very short life down the toilet because some “expert” told them to freak out.
I see that effect a lot. I’m almost always the one who has no problems. I think it’s because I have a good sense of what not to change, I google things I don’t like, I read most of the menus and I know how to back out of config I want to undo. For whatever reason, equally competent people struggle to do these things or are dismissive of them, and then take months or years to realize they’re missing something.

There is also an admirable type of person who has lots of tech problems because they’re genuinely pushing limits, but they’re rare.

Determine what part of the stack you want to be on

Most projects are smart contracts, so thats Solidity and browser frontends like React

whereas in the Solana ecosystem both the node software and the smart contracts are written in Rust

amongst smart contracts there are about a dozen sectors:

Lending

Staking

Insurance

Options

Futures

AMMs

Optimizers

All the way over to NFTs

Within NFTs there are about 5 distinct sectors too, with the most action and capital occurring in the NFT collections space, followed by NFT marketplaces

and then after all that there are Web 2.0 style SaaS companies that provide services to web 3 customers for subscription fees. thats probably the most boring because they cant juice your compensation with tokens or publicly traded shares.

so pick your sector first.
Most people aren't capable of driving as fast as a trained emergency responder, much less driving like a psycho in a panic because they're dealing with a medical emergency and are completely emotionally unprepared for it.

I've been involved in an situation that resulted in a fatality and trying to rescue the victim and for an untrained responder your ability to think and process gets chopped down to around 25% of what it is normally. That is probably worse if the victim is someone you know. Now you want to argue that those people should be driving 100 mph through the streets blowing through red lights and whatever at their own discretion like that solves problems.

People need to call 911 and get the ambulance, which can stabilize the patient, to come to them. They can run code red and are trained in how to run red lights and get around traffic safely. They do it for a living and they're emotionally detached from the emergency.

Not to mention that the tires on the average vehicle shouldn't be driven that fast and they're probably nearly bald due to lack of maintenance.

Either way it's still not an second language thing. It's a using acronyms without definition thing.
Right, in theory, but in practice they don't really use that functionality, right? I think the reason they don't is that they have macro hygiene issues with the language because while natural language has supreme flexibility, it does not have easy to use scoping constructs and so things inside the macro will leak to outside the macro.

There's no video of anyone swimming the whole thing. The conditions vary wildly from one meter to the next.

> To save a click: the "100% mortality" thing is a local legend.

Middlebrow dismissal, given that there's no proof that it's not 100% and obviously there's no way to prove that it is. It's very easy to imagine a design that would kill 100% of swimmers, it would actually be surprising if there isn't somewhere in the world that would do it.

3:20 of this video shows a well-prepared kayaker w/ a ton of PPE get quite the experience. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkPUPxPfFHw

I don't think there's any way someone without a life jacket survives 3:40, or someone pulling them to safety at 3:54. The extremely bouyant kayak itself struggles at 3:54 to not go down. A ~neutrally bouyant human in that aerated water would be toast.
To an untrained eye, maybe.

On linux, Microsoft teams will change your system sound settings to match its preference. This includes Bluetooth headphones no longer being available to the system. Then, it decides the system settings are beneath it and will only use its own device settings. And it will decide now that your fancy Bluetooth headset is gone, there is also no need for that crappy internal microphone either, so enjoy not having any microphone. Once you get all this working through however many steps it requires of you, teams will happily forget your settings and will require you to do it all over again.

Teams binds to the previous account, so if you want to login to another account (say, if you're both a student and have a job) you have to log back in to the last account, totp and all, before you can logout and log back in to the account you want. There are no back buttons.

Teams is shit. I use it because I have to, but its ridiculous how bad the UX is and its a shame, because I think microsoft can do better.

I've heard the interoperability with teams and office365 is phenomenal though. Multiple people editing the same document, while in a call presenting that document, security of the files all settled in the cloud with easy to use interfaces. It sounds great, I don't really use any of that. To me, teams will always be a crappy voip tool.
The one tiny issue with that plan is that if they are an experienced scuba diver and were given that request then they’d they’d nope the hell out of the vicinity faster than a human can blink. By definition any scuba diver attempting that is either the most inexperienced one in existence or suicidal.
30 years ago there were SERIOUS problems expected to come. The doomsayers were all just comprehensively wrong, there's just no fearmongering your way around that. Japan is a stable and prosperous society that's not significantly worse off than the best and richest countries in the world. On the contrary it's right up the top of many metrics.

It's funny, still today it has like 4x the GDP per capita of China and yet hearing it from these propagandists^Weconomists you'd think China is some kind of futuristic wonderland where everything turns to gold and Japan is a crumbling wasteland (or soon will be.... aaaany day now, for the past 30 years).

Japan's got issues, every country does. You think the US or Europe don't face serious economic problems in the next 40 years? As populations around the world peak and resource extraction and primary production peak, cheap fossil fuels are phased out, everybody's chickens will be coming home to roost. That's not a Japan problem, that's everyone's problem. Rich countries like Japan have a lot of room to cut expenditure and raise revenue. They don't because it's not popular, but they can and will (have to).

I bet it's flowing horizontally but faster the deeper you go. You fall in, the higher speed flow at your feet apparently "sucks" you under due to its higher speed (higher inertia), like being grabbed by your ankles and yanked down.

Ever tried searching for a conversation you had with someone, and you search for something you remember saying, and click ‘go to message’ and rather than take you to the conversation with all the important context you were actually looking for, it just shows that single message on the center of the screen all by itself with no way to see the rest of the conversation?

That’s the best.

What unique advantages and opportunities that won't exist for others? This sounds familiar.
I concur! I have a few ChromeOS devices at home and, more often than not, it's a simple pleasure. And now with ChromeOS Flex, even more hardware can become more pleasurable. Yes, I know there are some downsides with Flex, but, in this case, I simply feel more ChromeOS, in either form, is, well, better.

In addition to the explanations of the turbulent water smashing victims against the rock walls, presumably a very turbulent flow could also turn into a mixture of air and water, with a corresponding decrease in density such that it would be more difficult or even impossible for a person to maintain buoyancy.
The guy playing Moss did okay.
It's all incentives. By bundling it with their Office offering, they've removed any incentive for themselves to put too much effort into one app.

Their customers are locked in for life. They won't leave. They tolerated Skype (Lync) for years, Teams is way better than that.

It's the same story with Google Chat and Meet. They can simply ignore it and what are you gonna do? Move your entire company off Gmail/Outlook? Even if you get irritated and start paying Slack or Zoom, you are still paying full price for Teams/Meet.
Sure it can.

In an incompressible flow (e.g. water under anything resembling normal circumstances), there is no net flow into or out of any given volume, i.e. a 3-D box or other shape. But the surface is 2-D! So you can look at a little box with its top at the surface and its bottom slightly below the surface. If there is downward flow out the bottom (and zero flow out the top, of course), there must be net inward flow in the sides. Nothing wrong with that.

This could happen if the river has constant speed and constant cross-sectional area everywhere but gets progressively narrower and deeper. The water moves inward because it has to get away from the encroaching banks and moves down to fill the deepening channel. If this is abrupt enough even in the absence of turbulence, the downward current a foot or so below the surface will be substantial.

Well, typically not cleverer than most people, until you combine them with AI.
True in detail, but were they wrong in essence? Does not most of the planet non-trivially value TSMC? I don't mean most people, but most decision-makers. Perhaps I project.
I dunno, I don't think it's helpful to identify your worst performers (or label them as "bottom 15%") unless they aren't meeting the needs of the position and need to be let go. Someone has to be the worst, and it's really not okay to arbitrarily make 15% of people's lives hell. Again, if they need to go, they need to go, but I really fucking doubt at any given time 15% of an organization is actually bad enough to warrant firing or a PEP or any action at all.

> The Chinese government hates free Taiwan and may invade but its a good idea to be suspicious of US government claims about the intentions of their enemy of the week.

Wait, why does the Chinese government hate a free Taiwan ? US gov was pretty on point with the Russian invasion of Ukraine

Shouldn’t we be suspicious about a government that “hates” a free neighbor ?
Yup. I meant when it had just come out.
I think I messaged by point about buckets poorly. All I want to say is that protocol does not need to know about buckets. For programmer consuming this service, all he needs to know is domain and path. Now for service provider, they can invent whatever domain schemes they want. bucket.service.com, bucket.region.service.com or just http://minio/ for simple use-case. And programmer would store that domain in his config file and that's about it.

That's avoiding the question of API to manage buckets. I never needed it and I think that this API should be outside of object storage API scope. Of course there should be some proprietary API on provider side, like they have API for everything. Or, in simple cases, no buckets at all, just some simple binary to serve a directory.
The managers that force this horseshit on they employees never used anything else before the pandemic. Suddenly they also had to use something with that function, already had Teams and now forced everyone to use it as a lowest common denominator.

At least, that's my hypothesis. It's the preinstalled browser debacle all over again.

What voice/video client handles this much fiddling? When my friend and I get steam voice chat running, it’s a good day. We don’t touch anything after because these services notoriously suck.

Teams cloud based file sharing and overall UI/UX are nice. I don’t like how you can’t copy messages without a time stamp, or that black bar appearing on top when you screen share that obstructs any tabs or the rdp bar. But overall it’s a nice client in Windows as long as you don’t hop around too much which I don’t because I do my work on one machine idk what OP is doing lol.

Maybe Zoom and Slack are better, as a Windows developer, the integration is nice.

It's as though there is a life cycle of an applications development.
Early the application is sleek, perhaps not feature rich however instead simple, concise. Either through scope creep, changed ownership or continuous addition of features the application becomes bloated. This could also be the stage of commercialization by way of adds. Finally the application dies as users move onward.

This seems to be fairly common and it seems that as these applications and companies rise and fall that they each bring there own flavor to the mix.

> Only, what happened was that it turns out you can't be a Mozilla employee and a certain kind of Republican in the same person

It was worse than that. Folks called for his blood over a past endorsement of / financial support for California's Prop 8 and a Republican congressman (one who, at the time, was one of the few congresspersons at all - let alone among the Republicans - who even so much as paid lip service to the idea of electronic freedom and privacy). It didn't seem like any attempt was made to even so much as ask if he still supported that Proposition and that congressman - and that's a pretty reasonable question to ask when a large number of Democrat (and more modest number of Republican) voters and politicians alike have indeed shifted from opposing to supporting gay marriage and broader GSRM rights. Maybe he does indeed still oppose gay marriage, and that's why he decided to step down instead of trying to defend himself. Who knows?

On the other hand, there's a pretty stark difference between "Mozilla employee" v. "CEO of Mozilla". It wasn't until he was appointed as CEO that his political leanings attracted criticism - and it's pretty reasonable to be critical of whether someone can objectively and fairly manage an entire organization and its employees while having contributed money toward the passage of a law that actively discriminated against at least some subset of said employees. Eich's situation seems much more understandable than attempting to excommunicate an ordinary contributor.

Younger people have only ever used bloated laggy stuff like teams and don't know any better.

I miss the days of just having a dedicated desk phone - it rings, you answer, and talk instantly.

Teams in comparison pops up a call dialogue box, have to navigate the mouse to answer (because the answer hotkey doesn't work most of the time), wait for it to connect, fuck around fixing your audio devices which have changed for some reason, then finally get to start talking.

Yes teams is better if you are moving around a lot, but if you just work from home or office in a fixed location its a regression in usability.
