> We have removed most of natural selection from our evolution.

Ho-ho! So nobody died from COVID-19, because we have defeated disease?

There's a new outbreak of Ebola in West Africa. QE2 just died of "old age". New variants of COVID-19 Omicron are circulating in EU, and killing people vaccinated against the old variants. I've been reading of new polio outbreaks. But it's great that we've defeated natural selection; clearly the Brave New World has arrived.
Same, I also thought this was a positive conversation and I'm not sure why folks are interpreting it otherwise.
why you shouldn't depend on these platforms for anything of value

I disagree with this. I found it unmanageable to do my own backups without the cloud and remember passwords.

I trust my bank because the the government has laws to protect me.

We have zero laws for cloud platforms. In the event of a shutdown or request to transfer off to another cloud, laws should be in place where these companies must comply. We are in the cave man era of cloud platforms on a legal level.
This is entirely dependent on the person. Some people have to have something new every single day, and some people like to enjoy the same stuff. Some people try new beers every time they go out, and some people drink their favourite.

Years back, I spent roughly 20,000 hours in WoW, starting 2006 and the last time I played, a year or two ago. 20,000 hours doing the same stuff, one could argue, but those hours have brought me joy, relaxation, excitement, and friendship.

Downtime is important — how you choose to decompress is up to you, but it's important, especially with high stress or high pressure jobs. Some months you'll be putting in 80 hours a week, weekends included, and other times you'll lower it, to take a bit of a breather, 40 hours a week with some games or TV.

We shouldn't be calling people addicts because they go fishing every Sunday, or watch TV every evening, or, play RDR2 every day.
Please tell me you took a picture of this. Just don't show it to Monster or they will make one.
That's just your uninformed opinion.
It occurred to me I can detect a potential race happening in the multiplexing thread. The code in the multiplexing thread could be slow and it would be fine (it doesn't affect hot loop performance) We essentially track whether or not we set the looping variable to the index and if it changes back due to a data race, we set it back again to correct it.
I miss the people who were good at realpolitik. What happened barely matters. The situation appears to be escalating, there is a mobilised Russian army to worry about now.

People are underestimating how unpredictable and damaging war is. Throwing weapons and sanctions at Russia is not a plausible path to peace and prosperity. This should have been Iraq 2.0.

If the situation goes biblical, I'd rather be reading about turning the other cheek than the apocalypse.
I've seen outrage about PFAS, eg the recent rainwater isn't safe to drink according to the EPA articles. There's also been many campaigns over the years about various chemical additives, eg BPA. You've also got lots of people rallying against user/overuse of pesticides and herbicides. I'd wager it's less that the Sacklers are an easy target (as shown by the continued lack of any consequences), but more that it's a slow build up of anger over the continued abuse of people for profit.

Also, people are not stupid for trusting doctors. Are you not supposed to listen to professionals with usually more than a decade more of education in a specific field than you?
I'd imagine both the Swedish and Danish marines have already investigated the ruptures and it must be trivial to figure out whether the explosions were accidents or sabotage. A detonation using explosives placed on the pipe must cause different kinds of damage than if the tube ruptured from within.
Releasing colossal amounts of methane directly into the environment would be an odd choice for an eco-group too.

In the milieu from which I hail -- conservative, small town in Missouri -- gun safety was taken very seriously and you would have been thought of as a dumb redneck if you didn't get it. Always treat the gun as loaded, never point it at anything you don't wish to kill, never rely on the safety, keep your finger off the trigger until you're ready to fire, etc, etc. These were drilled into my head as a child, along with never, ever, under any circumstances should you be anywhere near the gun safe without an adult present.

Also, anecdotally, I once went to the range with someone who didn't grow up around these rules, who carelessly drew his weapon across the body of someone at an adjacent stall and was immediately and forcefully reprimanded and humiliated (deservedly) by one of the attendants.

People do take this stuff seriously.
Putting up a landing page is useless, unless you are going to actively drive traffic to it. And those leads are going to convert much much better if you can deliver some value on that page.
I put up a landing page 4 years before I had my product ready to go (a baby book I was making), and over four years, I gathered about 200 email addresses. Only a fraction of those convert, and they were probably worth $500 at the end of the day. Once I had the book finished and could show people how it worked, I dwarfed that by 10x in one day.

You can build a landing page. But I wouldn't let it distract you too much from the actual project, unless you are great at marketing, in which case, play to your strengths.
I wish I could take credit for this observation. But Ben Thompson summed it up best in the Dithering podcast this morning. An ad company is incapable of selling things to consumers. The entire organization is built around giving things to people for free and selling ads. Everything else that Google has done has been a failure.

Microsoft and Apple have decades of experience with selling stuff to people.

10M? Did you mean billion? because that would be closer
Granted, we will all have trim the fat moment but I doubt the level of doom and gloom is warranted, as we are not in a "massive, massive tech bubble". If anything, tech hasn't penetrated enough into our lives yet.

Most likely; these services will evolve into a format where it is financially more viable - which might even allow them to reach larger audiences.

Ideally, this should happen in a slow fashion (which it seems to be happening). A sudden crash would be more chaotic, but on the long term I doubt we have much to worry about as a sector; there'll still be plenty of jobs for tech workers.
What a terrible take. Yep those 8000 people have been coding an edit button for the last decade. You can’t be serious?
There's a point of diminishing returns to all technology. Even the folks developing Rails or Spring know that. This is why new things emerge which "simplify" that experience once more, but inevitably we just end up back in that same place. If I'm to examine the experience of hundreds or thousands of developers forced to use a certain tool within an organisation, they quite actively contribute back to fixing a lot of those problems within the frameworks. It always seems simpler to opt-out of it but then you end up having to reimplement a lot of the same things and maintain your own bespoke thing. Inevitably it becomes a game of tradeoffs, yes frameworks are multi-layered and sometimes that can be a problem but the alternative also doesn't scale when you need 1000+ devs to do something the same way.
The thing about motive is that even if it depends on being able to persuade other people to act in a way that is against their interests, that does nothing to mitigate it.
I just wanted to point out that your comment is quite useless as unless someone already knows what you're talking about (I don't) then it's basically devoid of any useful.
Such a thing would have to be really smart about advertising power-delivery ability for each port without exceeding a total commitment of 1,800 watts (US 120 volts x 15 amps), but not actually needing an inefficient 1,800-watt AC/DC transformer, and then somehow still managing to be able to charge at least a couple high-power laptops simultaneously. All this to satisfy the reasonable desire to replace six bulky 15-watt transformers with one simple device.

Contrast your typical $10 AC power strip, which lets you plug in 10,000 watts of hair dryers at once, because it's understood that a circuit breaker will (hopefully) blow if you do. It doesn't need to be smart.

I think the basic problem is whether USB-PD allows a source to commit to delivering 100 watts to a port that asked for 20V/5A, but then notice that the port only needs 2 watts right now (because the device finished charging), so that it can reclaim 98 watts in its total power budget. So far I haven't seen a power supply that does this well.
Famously they tapped Merkel's phone, which is a bold move.

Think about the 21 Gun Salute. A tribute used at funerals for fallen warriors. My understanding is it’s an old old ceremony. Given the somber event, I suspect the “danger” of the act had little to do with it. I think firing artillery and arms has has long been associated with reflective notable events (both celebratory and depressing).
All of this is true. Yet many firearms enthusiasts are still disgruntled by the current situation because they interpret the intent of the 2nd Amendment as arming the people at or near parity with the government, as a bulwark against tyranny.

And the current state of regulations very much prevents the "at or near parity" part there, very few (0?) American civilians have legal armor piercing ammunition, anti aircraft weapons, anti tank weapons etc. Meanwhile every podunk city has a militarized police with hardware that would be the envy of many 3rd world dictators, to say nothing of the Feds/various 3-letter agencies/secret police etc.
You'd be surprised. Here's a Wiki that attempts to document various configuration options, tricks and utilities for many games and they have tables with what features are supported in the games that are featured on the site: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/List_of_lists#Video

While it's not an exhaustive list, you can open any of those features and sort the table by whether the game supports the functionality itself, needs some sort of a config/tool fix/hack or does not support in any known way.

(the list is so long that you might have to view it with 500 items per page and even then jump through multiple pages, I wonder whether the dataset can have aggregate queries against it done)
lol

Inflation is only 10% if you try to lie about it by averaging in new TVs. When your electricity bill doubles, when your gas bill triples, when food rises by 30% you are not going to be buying a new TV.

Personally I would rather we just lean more into microVMs. From a cloud computing perspective, I don't care what security Linux claims to have, because I just assume it is ineffective and move forward from there. We build systems using loosely-coupled, strongly-authenticated, temporary sessions, and it's very easy to enforce separation of concerns (and thus minimize attack surface).

>> A pension is a deliberate inefficiency in a labor market. It's a promise to pay someone for not working...

That's and extreme simplification of pension and probably the worst definition You can think of. I guess if You were a marxist as opposed to some form of capitalist/liberal I would expect that You would base Your definition on class struggle.
I much more prefer to think about pension as a form of insurance against the risk of getting old. And as such the free market "implementation" is only one of possibilities (for ex. here in Poland we have state pension with a bit of free markets sprinkled on top). I personally believe that "old age insurance" is one of flag inventions of our times and do not think that there is a place for free for all solutions in civilized society (we are in this together and should work out a way to protect the weakest).

>> It is also a central lever for people to look to profit on through managent, and a tool with which to overinflate demand for financial products.

That's an implementation detail in my view - if You look at it from insurance perspective, You just need to search for a way to redistribute effects of current work between workers and retires. And using financial products (stocks and derivatives) may just be a wrong tool for the job.
This has me wondering how to engineer a circuit to have the 80Ah constantly charging/balancing with the 1Ah to maintain both the full voltage and capacity capabilities of both cells without shorting out the leads to the load. Of course, the peak power/current is still limited by the 1Ah cell. I guess the simple way is just put the cells in parallel and use a boost converter.

It seems to be the modus operandi of the Cia. Approach an asset, cultivate him, exploit him and then dump him with zero regard to his personal safety. On top of that, they are very poor at keeping their spies identities secrets. Or perhaps they don't care.

The attitude you are trying to defend is incredibly arrogant and selfish. I don't believe other countries spy agencies treat their assets with such contempt.
Just because it has a wikipedia article doesnt mean is isn't nonsense, but first we must agree on what we think the heuristic is. We observe a event that is harmful to us, and we have to decide whether that behavior was caused by a rational agent.

Hanlons Razor, as you are using it, says that is usually not the case.

There is a reason for the heuristic to hold for a time after a big change in human society. This usually corresponds to a time when the peoppe in power don't understand what was going on. They had strategies that were successful in the previous age and those strategies are obsolete now. The first usage seems to be approximately in the time of Napoleon, when gunpowder fundamentally changed feudalism. For another example, compared to its younger brother, World War 1 could have had Yakety Sax as its soundtrack.

There is also a really compelling machanism by which Hanlon's razor fails to apply. Eventually it is the case that competent, selfish strategies prevail and proliferate. They don't go away once they exist, they just accumulate. Eventually, behavior you encounter can be most easily explained by deducing the optimal strategy for the agents involved. This is roughly how biologists operate, and they only study things with comparatively low intelligence.

It should be noted that Hanlon's razor is, as a rule, completely incompatible with the equally popular Chesterton's fence heuristic. If incompetence is likely the correct explanation for the fence, then its fine to get rid of.

Whining? I'm hardly the one getting upset here.

Taxes are punitive when they're greater for some people than others. Not only is the absolute value paid much great, but so too is the relative amount. We're all paying into a pot unevenly and taking out unevenly. It's completely unfair.

IMO, these bitter-sweet kind of "freedom fighting" narratives just too rarely represent real life, and the iceberg of this conflict is surely huge.

There is too much "nothing happened at Tienanmen Square" kind of stuff for "long-sought freedom" kind of scenarios to be believable.

Yep,

> Germany cannot run off solar and wind alone.

There is this thing called storage in the form of batteries, hydro, and electrolysers. Stop pretending it does not exist, that it is not dropping in price (and use of scarce minerals) so fast it will be a complete replacement before a single new reactor would be finished and that renewables must work without it. Stop pretending that replacing 20% of the gas with nuclear is as useful as replacing 80% of it with pure renewables.

If our bar is 90€/MWh or wherever you want to set it, then it is far closer to true that the technology to replace coal and gas with nuclear does not exist.

Here is a model using no fossil fuels, no batteries and fairly pessimistic costings of real existing currently being built technology

https://model.energy/?results=5f5bd91437b51fc85495b224d74945...

See how it is about 10% less than the energy from falamville 3 even when including much more generous discount rates?

Additionally with the lower initial capital you could replace it when it wears out with something that is a quarter of the price rather than locking in 110€/MWh for energy that won't start being produced for 10-20 years and you won't get all of for 50-70 years. Energy from a nuclear reactor still needs backup for the 10% of the time it is off (or 30% in France's case) and overprovision or peaking (which will either drive the cost up to 200€/MWh or require gas)
America historically grew the grid at a much faster pace than we need to in order to accommodate EVs over the next decade. The only reason the grid stopped growing was because Energy Star regulations on appliances were so successful, that electricity use plateaued despite population growth. Electricity demand is the easiest aspect of the EV transition to deal with.

Plus, you're ignoring the fact that this only calls for 48% of a manufacture's fleet to be EV. 20% can be plug-in hybrids and the rest may be whatever. That's less aggressive than many manufactures are pushing for internally.
Why Spark over Javalin? I switched to Javalin last year, it seems to have more active development.
I had the same with Factorio, only I actually did get divorced. I went through many attempts to quit - including deleting my Steam account.

Eventually I set up the household to Mac & Linux only to help increase the friction. Along with a lifestyle overhaul - new hobbies, and actual sport played outside, non-gaming seems to stick.

Gaming addiction is real and it can truly destroy a life.
>I think most consumer preference is against co-mingling porn and other content.

I agree, but even with that preference where does it stop? If I make my money via porn (I don't, but as an example) do customers not want to have bank accounts at banks where pornstars bank? How about sharing electricity from the same company that a porn company uses to power shoots? How about using that same kind of iPhone that a pornstar uses?

Of course all of those are absurd, but you get my point. There is clearly a line where commingling is acceptable. Reddit, for example, has some pretty hard NSFW content, yet people still place ads on other boards (or maybe those too, idk). And there is no widespread hue and cry from "consumers".

It is very, very specific people, companies, and groups that seem to be targeted and those tend to be whatever the current popular social-think flavor of the month is or just ones that certain people don't like in general (racism, drugs, bigots, etc). And you will note, that only one of those groups is actually illegal, the others are just distasteful.
I believe* the first ad ever under the search bar at google.com was to download Firefox. They've been doing it for that long...

What is Musk actually doing? Tesla is a 20 years old company, supposedly decades ahead of everybody and still hasn't matched the number of Porsches on the road.

And I said Porsche. The quintessential luxury brand, not Ford or GM. Yes I know that people love their Porsches and are willing to spend money to keep them around and also collect them, but still it's crazy that a company which should be the backbone of the industrial economy still hasn't matched the number of Porsches.

Twitter is a Tesla without the shameless hype and constant astroturfing and manufactured consensus.

> One of China’s Huawei-supported proposals for the International Telecommunication Union would fundamentally redesign internet protocol (IP) addresses into a less secure, state-controlled model.

If anything, the last redesign of IP, IPv6, showed that there's very little standards committees can do to push a change like that on the Internet. Not when every individual ISP has to adopt the standard (or bridge the legacy standard) for it to work. So worst-case scenario, a standard is proposed that China and Russia adopt, which (a) has little bearing on what the rest of the world does and (b) is already something they can choose to do unilaterally in the national-level internets without needing UN support.
AIUI The sticky problem is that the Rust compiler today wants to see a single contiguous range of scalar values to enable this trick and from its perspective e.g. BalancedI8 would have two ranges, 0 to 127 inclusive and then 129 to 255 inclusive, it doesn't see the signed interpretation when thinking about this problem.

That's clearly not impossible to solve, but if I'm correct it means significant compiler development work rather than just a fun weekend chore writing and testing a custom type intended to work only in the standard library.
