My point is that the US didn't "export all of its manufacturing" or all of its consumption emissions. Both statements are demonstrably false. Even still, of China's emissions only half are industrial. In the US manufacturing accounts for ~22% of emissions. If all of that manufacturing came back to the US, emissions would likely be lower, especially because we're phasing out coal. Don't get me wrong, it's a problem but the narrative that the US is only cutting emissions because of China's manufacturing is stupid.

Upgrading a 2011 MacBook Pro with NVMe and EGPU Support
Went with 5 buddies. A very inebriated masculine affair. Not the crowd the door guy was looking for. We got denied. Fortunately 5 minutes earlier I had ripped some flowers out of someone’s front yard or flower pots and tucked them in my back pocket. I presented them to him with a smile and he waived our group in. Don’t remember much of the night but it was good.
They're probably still getting many millions of requests a month so probably more than a dollar but even 20 million requests a month would only cost $3.60 (10 million free at first then 10 million @ $0.36/million)

I assume you probably know this but just wanting to share there are some pricing scales with R2 they're just pretty generous for a lot of things.

Compromise: Your vocation can be your identity (and you may not have found exactly what it is yet). Though if your particular workplace situation gets bad, you may want to detach from that one job, or find ways in which the imperfect job/situation can further the larger mission.
While using the software packages released last week may not be the greatest idea, I am leery of any research paper using 10 years old genome assembly, Ensembl annotation release in the 40ish (we are at #105 ) or clearly outdated program versions with X updates in the last 5 years.
Also if Fedex/UPS were tracking packages with bordering on cavalier attitude observed in some labs, often we would be getting bags of guano ordered by some horticulturalist instead of a book of our choice. Or even an empty bag, since QC may be an afterthought and hard wet lab work may still produce unusable crappy data.

On the other hand the brand new technologies are rather expensive, good quality human tissue samples hard to get so scrapping the bottom of the barrel trying to justify grant $$$ is unavoidable.
AI Art changes how an entire generation perceive ordinary reality
Possibly the best thing about "AI Art" it that is accustoms an entire generation to the idea that "reality" itself is an infinite latent space out which multimodal experiences are generated in spacetime, based on the intention of the animal observer.

Man, sounds like we DEFINITELY need to protect that market then doesn't it? It's like having a professional army, you don't have enough soldiers to fight a world war, but you have enough knowledge base to train people up SHOULD a world war happen. Would you argue we should either disband the Army or institute a draft to increase it's size because it can't fight a world war and other nations have a larger army? What a non-serious argument is being made here all in the name of $$$. You understand that a nation exists to fulfill a certain social contract, right? You can't keep just chipping away that contract in the name of 'paying foreign country level wages' and expect a functioning country. That 'social' element WILL turn against this behavior at some point.
The TOS isn't that you can't serve plain text, it's that it shouldn't be disproportionate in volume to the cached html served.
Assuming it's not a kind of DoS attack, and since it sounds like they can detect the abusing clients (maybe by User-Agent)... some very desperate technical options involve serving an alternate small blocklist that does one of:

1. Try having it block subsequent requests for EasyList itself, just in case the frequent update requests are made with the prior blocklist in effect. (I accidentally did this before, in one of my own experimental blocklists, atop uBlock Origin.) Then the device vendor can fix their end.

2. If the blocklist language and client support it (I suspect they don't), you might safely replace or alter some Web pages, to add a message saying to disable EasyList in the client, or pressure the vendor, or similar. If this affects a lot of users, the meaning will also be spread in other languages to other users, even if not all of them understand any of the languages in the message. But be careful.

3. If you can't get a better message to the user, another option might be to block all requests, to prompt users to disable EasyList or vendor to fix the problem. But before doing this, you'll need to have verified that a combination of shoddy client/device software won't prevent users from using important functions of their devices for significant time. (Imagine this might be their only means of being connected online, and some shoddy client software pretty much prevents it from working, and the user is unable to access critical services.)

But before doing any of these desperate technical measures... First, I'd really try to reach people in the country who'll know what's going on, and who can reach and possibly pressure the vendor who's causing the problem. If tech industry people aren't able to help quick enough, reaching out to that government, directly or through your own country's diplomats/officials, might work. Communicating the risks of the desperate technical measures that you're trying to avoid (e.g., possibly breaking critical communications) could help people understand the urgency and importance of the situation.

Over time I've come to believe in the "grepability" of error messages, and the code-lines that construct them.

Sometimes the data (and error-messages) are flowing up and down through many different modules and APIs and job-queues and whatnot, that when an error pops up it saves a lot of developer-time when you can just text-search on the code repo(s) and see exactly the line that generated it in the first place.
Which then keeps at least BASIC knowledge of shipbuilding available in this country, should we suddenly require grow in that industry (which is crucial). You are either misleading the purpose of this act or are willfully ignorant.

Private schools often discount tuition for the children of their teachers, sometimes substantially. I knew more than a few teachers at my high school who taught until they got pregnant with their first child, quit until the youngest was in elementary, then went back to teaching - both to have something to do and to defray the cost of tuition.

And while the students and parents may not be perfect gems, they're a lot less likely to threaten actual physical harm.
Assuming the FCS is neutral in bats (which I don't think we could prove or disprove without more sampling, but which I agree is possible), I agree that the mutation wouldn't have to happen concurrently with the species jump. Even if the FCS is negative in bats, it's also possible that the FCS evolved naturally in a different animal host. I agree there's no evidence to exclude those scenarios; I just don't see any specific evidence to favor them either.

Yes that's possible, but it's unclear to me how long that trend would last. The artic will be ice free in a decade or so. I've never been able to square that with the cold descending over Europe. Quite frankly, I don't hold much confidence in that theory given the heat we've seen over Canada and Siberia
I'm going to channel my inner thoughts right now:

wut-literal taxation without representation
I think you answered your own question. Work from "anywhere" isn't really thing without breaking some tax laws in most countries. So it's not confusion so much as you're looking at a very small subset of legally grey behavior within the grander scheme of remote work, which like all things assumes that people have a fixed address and move rarely.
There is no threat of taking away citizenship.

Therefore execs with dualcitizenship might choose to give up US citizenship and keep their jobs instead. But no-one will take their US citizenship away.

When I was a jr dev, getting exceptions was a synonymous of ”me messing something up”. Null exceptions were specially annoying, so the naive approach is to check for nulls and avoid the code that will cause the exception. And it “works”! You don’t get exceptions and your code keeps running. It’s just when you need to fix difficult bugs while you go through logs when you understand the value of having the right exception with the right message. And you learn to love them and start caring about them.
...yet. I think Waymo's approach of launching the service in the cities when it is easy first, and over time expanding to more troublesome climates is much more sensible than Tesla's "humans can do it, so AI should be able to, with just cameras".
Wild picture, but less sublime than the original. Same feels when NASA/ESA deconstructed the gas layers in 3d to refect the thin layers (like old school parallax animation background) instead of the awesome awesome voluminous celestia architecture I had in my head. Some old shows look worse in HD.

Split DNS is super complicated to implement client side. We halfway implemented a solution and backtracked, eventually settling on just setting /etc/hosts. There's way too many variables involved across all the different operating systems.
Indeed, it’s an uncomfortable idea but maybe someday we’ll have to accept it. That we don’t know, we’ll never know, we can’t know. I wonder if we’ll be able to prove that we can’t know something. Or prove that we can’t prove it.
That would only work if they had an API; AFAICT, they're just hosting a file.

At this point, they might be better off coordinating with the other major adblocker providers and just outright move the file elsewhere. Breaking other people's garbage code is better than breaking yourself trying to fix it. Especially on a budget of $0.00.

If the defective code for the browsers are in public repos, it might also be more effective for someone to just fork the code, fix the issue (i.e. only download this file once a month, instead of every startup), and at least give the maintainers a chance to merge the fix back in.
I think you are preaching to the choir. Thinking with your own brain is hard, that's why some people like to delegate this task.
Interesting that you saw Amazon apparently doing that. Thank you for the data point.

WFH is also better if you are pro-social - you have more time to pick up friends that you want to meet - not ones that you have to meet.
I am in Houston and AC is a necessity. Most residential AC guys here are awful- they can make a killing in the hot seasons for simple calls to replace a $30 run capacitors on compressors (very common failure, often encouraged by power blips). Most of them do not fully understand duct design and many will pass on jobs to re-do ducts if they can since it is more profitable to focus on break-fix type calls. Because of this, I had to learn about AC systems and duct design myself. Here are some things I have learned which are not often mentioned:
- Intake filter flow rates are important, 1" filters have varying pressure drops across them and can account for a significant loss of available static pressure in your system. Most companies do not list this figure on their product, or even provide it.
- Return air is far too often neglected in duct design. I have a section of my house which requires %25 of the available air flow to cool but it has no return air path. So if the interior door to that area is closed, the air is instead forced outdoors and the loss is reclaimed on the other side of the interior door from (you guessed it) outdoors. So if a door to an area is barely open and then closes when your system kicks on, you probably don't have adequate return air.
- Most newer homes use flexible duct. It is much cheaper and lighter than metal duct work but how it is installed makes a massive difference in how efficient your system is. Flexible ducts lengths which have slight compression (15%) or sag might double the loss for that section.

Overall the duct work design and installation is one of the most important aspects of your HVAC system which is the LEAST profitable (earnings/time) to your residential AC guy and therefore, is often neglected.

If you want to go deeper I recommend the ASHRAE Fundamentals handbook which covers heat load calculations, fenestration, systems, and duct design. You can pickup a older used copy for cheap. Avoid ACCA guides, they obscure all the underlying math and engineering behind a more simplistic design method based on total 'effective' length calculations which makes duct design difficult to understand intuitively.

I went to high school in the US in the 1970s. I remember at least three incidents we heard about with students bringing guns to school. No shootings at my school, though. Another school in the same city did have a shooting incident at that time, pissed off student opened fire in shop class.

We (students) knew back then who was disturbed, who would likely carry a gun or knife to school, who might pull a weapon in a cafeteria argument. We all did that "sad calculation" you mention.

When it came time for my own kids to go to school we opted out and homeschooled. Not so much out of fear of mass shootings, but because schools are terrible environments for children in so many ways, and it's easy to do better than what passes for "education" in the US.
I'd agree that's weird. Seems like if it were simply renamed to .html with no content changes, then it would be okay.

> What else is important to note that the client is being abused and not the client abusing the service. That should be taken into consideration, when deciding if someone is breaking the ToS.

My understanding has this as moot. The issue from Cloudflare's perspective is only that the content is non-HTML and doesn't have anything to do with the rate of traffic (the abuse).
When I'm the maker of another human it's definitely worth considering before if it will be worth to do so
Interestingly the state has an incentive to take this approach too: it's much cheaper. If you can monitor & enforce confinement without actually building any prisons, you don't need to budget for prisons, you don't need to operate prisons (or contract out to them), and you can avoid the political blowback of the prison/industrial complex.

The limiting case for this is the Matrix or Metaverse, where everybody voluntarily confines themselves to their home and interacts with each other only according to the rules of the governing software. No possibility for crime because there are no unmediated interactions, and the state has total control.

Doesn’t N or S reverse at noon?

Imagine (for simplicity) that we have 6a to 6p with solar noon at 12p.

Then if I put my right arm in my shadow at 6am and my other arm 180 degrees from it, then I’ll be facing South. If I do the same thing at 11 am, I form a big wedge with my right arm on the NW side, again facing South.

But at noon that changes: the sun is directly South from me, so my right arm is North and my other arm is in the same spot, so I turn around to face North.

From there, my right arm is on the NE side, and my left arm makes a widening wedge as I face North — until at 6pm, I’m standing with my right arm facing East and my left arm opposite it, facing North.
That's really only us-east-1. It's a special pet region, don't use it.
Would a person with low income prefer A) having an option to lower the electricity bill or B) pay more because there is no such option, and more expensive power needs to be sourced from peaking power plants?

There are already day-ahead electricity markets with prices that vary throughout the day. You _already_ pay a premium over those variable prices, for the convenience of a fixed rate.
All I'm saying is that it would be good if consumers had the _option_ of eliminating some of that premium, in exchange for demand shifting.
The paradox of CantHappen is that if the programmer truly thought it can't happen then there would be no need for it in the first place. The only reason to include it is because of a fear that it may in fact happen.

Rust funny enough has unreachable()! for that case, but it also has unreachable_unchecked() for actually unreachable code. The latter has undefined behavior and exists to help the optimizer.

I literally pulled the trigger and bought an M1 Macbook Pro last night because of this. I’d been holding out because they’re going to release the M2 MacBook Pros next month, but last night they put the iPad Air up by £100 and the iPad Mini up by £90 and they didn’t even have any new specs. Following the price increases for everything else the Pros are looking at around £300 to £500 on top of what they already are. And all the indications are that the only spec bump is going to be a minor processor increase. Amazon’s got £100 off the base spec atm so I took it. Got an iPad Air at the old price as well as Amazon hadn’t updated their pricing (and still hadn’t at the time of writing). Reminded me of this article I recently read about how Argentinians survive with near constant inflation https://amp.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2022/oct/08/argenti...

It makes me wonder if humans are aligned much more to primitive life than we believe. I wonder if our ancestors spent long stretches of time living off reserves and waiting for spring to come. Then in spring they started working hard to replenish store. Maybe it's natural or instinctual to do very little when we aren't motivated by the need to provide for ourselves?
