Victoria II is my favorite personally, and Victoria III is coming soon. Victoria is the only strategy game that has made just internal economic development interesting.

I like Stellaris, but its more of a standard 4x game so I didn't feel the need to include it. If you've played Galactic Civilization, Civilization, Sins of A Solar Empire, Sword of the Stars, Endless Space, etc. You pretty much understand stellaris I think.
Clarks third law or whatever just reminds me of how “progress” is a religion in the liberal west. It’s not an observation but a declaration of some silly standards which are nonsensical to any mind not indoctrinated to the delusions of elite western liberalism. On top of that, it’s also outright pompous.
I can’t agree more. Hopefully it doesn’t go the way of Medium.
> One, this barely touches on the opposite side, when doctors give up too soon.

This was very much my experience with my Mom’s brain tumor.

While I can’t say my Mom’s regular cancer doctors gave up too soon (we had an amazing surgeon, as well as an oncologist that helped fight until the final stand) - it was amazing how few voices actually encouraged her to fight.

She was diagnosed late stage, with. 6-month or less prognosis.

From the moment she was diagnosed, she had a literal line-up of nurses, general doctors, and social workers incessantly reminding her how poor her outlook was, and that “there’s no shame in giving up”.

Seriously, it was relentless how often they would come into her room, put on a somber voice, and say “You know the outlook on these things isn’t very long, and we don’t have good treatments for it.”

I will never forget those first few days in the hospital when she was diagnosed and awaiting surgery. The demoralized look on her face. The incongruousness of being asked to concede a battle you didn’t even know you were in until days or hours ago.

It was only a couple of acquaintances who themselves “beat the odds” that finally gave her the other perspective.

Her eventual oncologist also had the right attitude - a healthy balance of positivity and being realistic.

But that was not the norm, particularly among medical professionals. She ended up eventually passing away after about 5 years - 4.5 years longer than expected. Amazing years that we had together, yes with good days and bad days, but days we had together.

And fwiw, I did everything I could to make sure she wasn’t sticking around just for me or for family. She loved life, she wanted to fight as long as she could still enjoy life, and I cannot tell you how terribly set back she was every time she’d encounter a nurse that would look at her like she was a dead person walking, or when she’d get the “no shame in giving up” speech. But the rare voice that gave her (realistic) hope and positivity was an absolute Godsend.

There is a balance to be had here. Prolonging suffering isn’t right, but neither is the reactionary response in recent years to virtually encourage anyone with a terminal illness to immediately give up.

No it's not.

There is no evidence whatsoever that Apple is doing anything other than facilitating ads through their News, App Store, Maps etc properties.

Vercel is cutting this particular Gordian knot by acquiring / hiring the people who make already popular tooling. And yet, it’s a struggle to shift a substantial production app from AWS to Vercel because the change of programming model from server to serverless is a massive lift for those kinds of apps. Your runtime and build architecture are even farther away from the stuff we ship to production today. I would love to use these features - just like I’d love to deploy on Vercel with NextJS instead of ECS with Express, but it’s a wide chasm. For you more so than that combo, because you can’t provide a local dev experience.
UTC-style time should never be used as unique identifiers by itself, and computer clocks telling such time should generally not be assumed to always have monotonically increasing output. Most systems are sufficiently sane that they don’t critically rely on such assumptions.

The most interesting issue regarding Mars is that time elapses slightly faster on Mars than on Earth due to relativistic time dilation (according to https://space.stackexchange.com/a/33592, by 0.17 seconds per year). Conversion between Mars and Earth calendars will eventually have to take that into account, possibly with some kind of leap second mechanism.

Overall, I don’t think it will be too much different than what we already do on earth with regard to different calendars and timezones. The one novel aspect will be the difference in length of day.

Regarding a common solar system time, there is BCT and BDT [0][1]. Astronomers already have to deal with that. Another interesting webpage about time scales is [2][3].

Increased interest rates make it more difficult to get funding. Ie poor ideas have a harder time than genuinely economic interests.
I'm saying that mainstream media has an agenda and is showing us propaganda.

The mainstream media told us about dead babies in iraq, told us about WMDs and told us about nazis in ukraine ( https://i.imgur.com/mRAaOo0.jpg ). Then the war started, and suddenly nazis are a conspiracy theory.

It's a war, shit happens, media focuses on every dead civilian who died because of russians, and ignores all the dead civilians killed by american bombs, even at weddings in countries US is not even at war with, and it ignores all the dead civilians killed by ukranians, and it ignores all the dead civilians killed by israelis, etc.
> Your last sentence is not true for facebook and other companies that operate at such scale.

You are doing a good job of calling them out here. Last I looked, Meta's stock has taken a beating this year, to the point that their largest shareholder has lost roughly half of his wealth. Facebook's loss of users is having a huge effect.

> Good luck passing pro consumer regulation when industry is allowed to lobby, fund political advertisements, and donate money to campaigns.

Yes, getting the government to do anything is very hard, especially when they own a company or a service. You'd have to do all of the same things you have to do to regulate a private business, but with limited rights for redress. Government can incarcerate, take your property or kill you if they want to silence you. Meta can only shut off your account.

I would argue that intel has been surprisingly successful even in the short term, in terms of CPUs.

They had the 10th gen where AMD was clearly better performing and more efficient, but they competed. They had 11th gen which was a failure.

But until recent price cuts, Alder Lake wins on performance and price against a lot of AMD chips. Alder lake is doing that at a serious process disadvantage vs AMD - alder lake is not TSMC but intel 7 which is their 10nm enhanced finfet process. That intel is even close to competing with AMD when so far behind on process is pretty amazing, a testament to their chip design.

If they get their manufacturing and research back under control in the medium to long term they're golden. But even without that, I bet they're making a whole lot more money per chip fabbing it themselves than AMD is buying TSMC.
It appears you haven't taken a thermodynamics or heat transfer class: Heat has a property called "quality", and low quality (roughly, low-temperature) heat such as you're describing is not really useful for much outside of warming water a bit - you're certainly not going to be generating power that way!

All current heat engines as defined by the 2nd law of thermodynamics require a DELTA T to run, and the small delta T provided by low-quality heat sources cannot generate much power, and drastically slashes the efficiency possible from the system. (Interestingly, there does appear to be a part of the 2nd law which only applies in the quantum realm and has no classical heat engine analog - if that turns out to be true, then it changes things up quite a bit...)
Perhaps unpopular opinion but I think the tech is more than good enough that I think most cars should be autonomous already. However the reason I think there isn't is because public perception, regulation, changing tradition is hard, and peoples acceptable safety.

It seems like most would rather wait until autonomous cars are way better than human drivers while not truly acknowledging most human drivers are awful. Sure I dont want people hurt or killed but I think it could have made more progress in prod so to speak.

> Fraud - the intentional use of deceit, a trick or some dishonest means to deprive another of his/her/its money, property or a legal right.

You don't 'accidentally' mistake weak XOR obfuscation with AES, so this is fraud. However whether that results in any tangible legal action is debatable. I have strong doubts given the corporatocratic nature of the corporate judicial outcomes in USA.

Are these sold online? Wire fraud is a common enhancement to a lot of criminal charges involving fraud taking place online or over phone.

Facebook collecting data with "consent" obtained through use of dark patterns.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/beyond-sketchy-facebook-demand...

https://www.theverge.com/2019/4/18/18485089/facebook-email-p...

Facebook does not sell user data. No need. They sell access to the targets of the collection to advertisers, including political campaigns, among other things. We have no way to know all the uses Facebook makes of the data they collect.

If Facebook were to go under, what would happen to the all the data collected.

What should be most concerning is that Facebook buys data. When combined with the data they have collected about people, this creates a potential hazard the Facebook user has no way to assess. There is nothing in any Privacy Policy, including Facebook's, that suggests a website operator will not obtain data about the website users from other sources.

In addition, with use of "beacons" or similar, Facebook collects data about what websites Facebook users, and www users in general, visit outside of Facebook.

Perhaps people would not consent to Facebook holding so much data about them, from various sources. Far more than what they themselves have voluntarily submitted to Facebook. We will never know because people are not full information and the choice whether to opt out.

Facebook is not a credit bureau. When credit bureaus tried to collect this much data about people from various sources, the practice became the subject of federal regulation. For example, FCRA, FACTA, FCBA and Reg B.

Thanks for sharing this. Yes, I can totally believe this.

I have all the respect in the world for people who say, "I don't want the high-treatment route; I'll enjoy what time I have left." But that was not my mom! She was a fighter all her life, and that's how she wanted to go out. I respected that too, and we never let the doctors forget who their patient was.

I'm very glad to hear that in your case the fighting paid off. That much extra time is an incredible gift, and it's wonderful you had it.
That's right, the buck _has_ to stop somewhere. What else might we discover about this uncaused cause?
Widespread homeownership is less than 100 years old. Before it people weren’t all disgruntled, dissatisfied, and idle.

The role homeownership and single family houses more generally plays in our culture is not a fact of the universe. They can and should change.

What do you mean? When I'm too excited about a project I get saturated with emotions. Then I need to wait and cool down, usually until the next day, but it have taken me up to two weeks. Meanwhile I'll take notes of any idea that crosses my mind. It's when I have no emotions that I can make sense of those ideas and begin implementing them. I'll find that most are a waste of time, some others will cause frustration, but I'm just the servant of my past self, and I'll do as I said.
I’m confused. From your comment it sounds like they’re out of business. But from the news they’re joining into something with Microsoft?

Every desktop motherboard on the market that has WiFi implements it by means of a M.2 2230 card inside a shield can that's screwed to the motherboard, with antenna connectors on pigtails coming out the side of the can to protrude through cutouts in the IO backplate.

The WiFi is already a self-contained module with a standard hardware interface and its own FCC ID and certification. I don't recall ever seeing a motherboard include WiFi support in its UEFI firmware. So from the perspective of the motherboard manufacturer, WiFi is just a component they stick on the board and ship, with no regulatory overhead aside from duplicating the WiFi module's identifying information on a sticker that isn't hidden beneath the VRM heatsinks. The motherboard market really couldn't tolerate any wireless solution more complicated than that.
I just recently replaced a cheap wired keyboard and mouse with a Logitech MX Mini keyboard and a MX Master 3 mouse.

My current WFH desk is not ideal and having a full sized keyboard with numeric keypad meant I couldn't center the keyboard for typing and have enough room to comfortably use the mouse.

I tried to find a ten key less wired keyboard that didn't have noisy mechanical switches. I can clearly hear my colleagues typing on theirs during Teams calls, which is very distracting.

I couldn't find a wired, small form factor keyboard, without mechanical switches. So I went the wireless route. I would have gone wired if I could find one that met my requirements.

Having used the Logitech for about a month, there are some pros and cons. I often like to use pencil and paper to diagram existing code to better think through how to change it. With the wired keyboard I was limited in where I could move the keyboard out of the way. Now I can move the wireless keyboard right off the desk.

I usually work with a work laptop open for Teams voice chat while primarily working via a virtual desktop connection on my personal PC. I haven't done it yet, but the work laptop recognises the wireless keyboard and mouse, so I could switch input between the laptop and PC at the press of a button. This means I wouldn't need to use the laptop keyboard or touchpad for input, freeing me to position the laptop for screen visibility and video chat.

The main cons so far are that the keyboard has lost the wireless connection to the USB dongle a couple of times. This can be temporarily worked around by (ironically) plugging in the USB cable used to charge it. Also the mouse seems to be laggy sometimes. Picking it up and repositioning it on the desk gets it working smoothly again.
> Why do you think that we need "femtometer resolution" for "very precise" 100 day weather forecasting?

Due to sensitive dependence on initial conditons. Even using measurements at meter resolution will cause the accuracy of a forecast to begin to break down after only a few days.

> What even is "very precise" 100 day weather forecasting?

Anywhere from accurate to exact.

> I think it's very amusing to do the math on how much memory would be required to run a crude primitive equation dycore over even the tiniest of domains at femtometer resolution

And Bill Gates thought 64K should be enough for anybody. Do you really think computers will only have a few GB of memory 50 years from now?

> there absolutely is a trend towards private investment in weather modeling going towards faux-moonshot ideas like cubesat constellations without demonstrated ROI and that would require evolutionary leaps forward in data assimilation, or for deep learning to replace weather models

This straw man does not exactly demonstrate that conventional weather and climate modeling is being abandoned anytime soon. If the unconventional private investments aren't profitable, the market will deal with them.

> The future of weather forecasting is

much like the local weather, impossible to predict with any accuracy years into the future, and yet the tools used to measure it are consistently getting more accurate, cheaper and smaller. Maybe like bottle-openers, weather sensors may superfluously start appear on everything. The more widespread the measurements, the more data descibing initial conditions, the better the forecast will be at any interval.
I get where he's coming from. There's a maritime protocol for ship location, AIS, mainly meant so ships can all have nice radar-like displays of the ships around them. I wrote a decoder for it for an art project, the Twitter bot @sfships. I was very concerned that somebody would take it too seriously, so I wrote:

"I needed a simple AIS decoder for a small art project. I couldn’t find one, so I’m making something minimally adequate for my needs. Decoders are generated automatically from public protocol documentation, but since I use few of the fields myself, I haven’t verified much of the decoding. This code is rough and doesn’t worry much about correctness, and so shouldn’t be used for anything that matters. It especially shouldn’t be used for ship navigation." -- https://pypi.org/project/simpleais/

Here’s the entire article:

The authors of this development say that the CO2 emissions were reduced by more than 85% compared to a regular unmodified diesel engine. Furthermore, hydrogen fuel recently became less expensive than diesel, which could mean that hybrid diesel-hydrogen engines could appear on the mass market, too.

“We have shown that we can take those existing diesel engines and convert them into cleaner engines that burn hydrogen fuel,” said Prof. Kook, one of the authors of the paper describing the results of this engineering study.

In order to make diesel engines run on hydrogen, the original fuel injection system remains in place. However, it is necessary to install an additional injector for hydrogen to deliver it directly into the cylinder.

The direct hydrogen injection must have the proper timing to achieve the best fuel mixture burning conditions, while also minimizing the residual emissions of toxic nitrogen oxide typical to all diesel engines.

Scientists say that they managed to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions below the levels of a regular diesel engine. The efficiency gains were also significant: in the diesel-hydrogen hybrid, the fuel efficiency was improved by more than 26%.
