> It does not need more than the tiniest fraction of a cubic km of water.

One cubic km is one billion tons. Each ton is ~10kJ per meter lifted, and let's assume you can separate your reservoirs by 100m vertically.

That would give a total system capacity of 1e9 tons x 1e5 J/(ton x meter) x 1e3 meters, or 1e17 Joules.

A kilowatt hour is 3.6e6 Joules, so this gives us ~3e10 KWh. If we're imperfect in reclaiming that energy, we'll actually end up with 1-2e10 KWh.

US annual electricity consumption was ~4e12 KWh/year in 2018 (or ~1e10 KWh/day), so a 1km^3 * 100m installation is probably larger than required to provide a backup for replacing our entire electrical generation infrastructure with intermittent sources 99.9% of the time. Not by a huge amount though! Less than an order of magnitude, IMO.

How much is the level going to fluctuate on a daily basis, though? Does it really form useful habitat?

Selling it to DWAC for a pittance would be a great troll.
The peculiar thing about having an aluminum cased laptop is that when the ground wires in the power adapter get frayed, or if the electrical circuit is hot garbage, you tend to get a little tingle when you touch the computer. Time to either throw away that adapter or get your wiring checked.

But when you feed bad power into a computer, you get glitches, and quite often this 'haunted' equipment is just running in a bad way. For all we know this woman jiggled a wire and everything is fine.

I've been on the other side of this: IT head says we're gonna swap a server out. It has nothing to do with the workload I/we have today so we say sure. Problem is that it's in the same rack as something with a deadline, and jiggling the wires causes a network connection to go down. I've had this happen three times and we've swapped the cables in each case. Because jiggling an ethernet cable should never be sufficient stress to lose connection.

First time the manager threw the cable away on his own. Second one I had to make him give me the cable because 'it could still be good'. Third one started the same argument, then pulled out wire cutters, cut off the ends, handed them to me to shut me up. Bad equipment goes in the garbage, not into a drawer that means 'ticking time bombs'. Since the connectors are usually why a cable is 'bad', I was mollified.

Twitter != The government.

It's tricky because these platforms are huge, and are a public square in many ways. But they are also companies. The local newspaper is not required to print some anti-semitic screed. A local bar can kick out nazis. People do have alternative ways of freely expressing themselves.

Due to the massive size of these platforms, it feels a bit different, though in that being removed from one could really alter your online presence.

I don't have all the answers. And I suspect that Elon Musk does not, either, but we will have to wait and see...

I agree with that point you made. For me personally, if it turns out to have been a lab leak then it wouldn't really move the needle for me much. Now, if it were leaked on purpose now we have a pretty big problem.

But absent a deliberate act, I still think it's valid to talk about whether gain-of-function research has sufficient value to outweigh the risks, and if so, what we can do to mitigate those risks. Whether covid was a leak or not. Next time maybe it's captain trips.

They do not, in fact, demand similar alloys. A hydro power turbine operates with liquid water, a steam turbine with superheated, corrosive steam.

A Pelton wheel is fundamentally different in every detail from a steam turbine. Useful Pelton wheels have been made in village smitheries. They are readily mass-produced, and last many decades without need for service.
"Skim on a new PSU" sounds like people are cheaping out or something. Many people already have a more than sufficient PSU and replacing it just for another plug is a waste of natural resources.

Bigger; if I receive $78,000 out of $100,000 in shares and then they drop to $23,000, that still more than covers the $8,000 of under-withholding I need to pay.

I don't believe this is true: the MIT license requires maintaining the MIT license disclaimer in the derived work. AFAICT, you cannot actually relicense MIT code (unless you hold the copyright). You can create a new derived work that contains it, and distribute that work as a whole with a new license, but the MIT code portion of that work will always maintain its license and require distributing the MIT license disclaimer.

https://softwarefreedom.org/resources/2007/gpl-non-gpl-colla...

With that being said, for the purposes of the article we are discussing, this distinction may not be meaningful because one can still take an MIT code base proprietary even if the original code doesn't actually get re-licensed.

The profit margin on cars looks good. If the 3 and Y cost around $35k and $40k to Tesla, they have a lot of room to respond to competitive pressures.

I think Tesla's battery moves are spot on. Investing in extraction, processing, refining, and manufacturing is going to pay off big time in the future.
Technically, new EU members are required to join the Eurozone at some point. Only Denmark (and - before Brexit - the UK) have an explicit opt-out. But Sweden, which does not have an opt-out, have yet to join the Euro as well, and has no plans of doing so. So I'm not sure about the exact rules here.

free speech is a liberal value. The conservatives, however, have tried to hide behind 'free speech' in order to compel speech from private entities, and have tried to pretend that they don't have a hammerlock on the mainstream media, and have tried to pretend that 'big tech' is nebulously conspiring against them whenever it enacts basic decency community standards.

I really like this solution and agree "bookmarks" are a lot better than outbox, but it is hard to guard against races where the reader increments the bookmark before an active transaction commits an ID at an earlier position; if transaction commits in a different order than IDs are allocated.

Perhaps this is what you mean with "out of order increment"... but what are the "many" solutions to this?

I struggle for a long time to find a good way of doing this in Microsoft SQL and still not perfectly happy about the solution we found.

Quite possible that the decline is tied to the steep decline in interest in news. That's been dropping since Biden took office.

The American constitution contains like ten words about free speech, zero of which provide any explanation for what free speech means. Maybe you could say that the particular legal interpretation of those words in the US has done a good job enumerating the limits of free speech - but the text of the constitution sure as hell hasn't.

Legal interpretation of the constitution has also very clearly found that a huge collection of actual literal Nazis marching around shouting "death to jews" at the top of their lungs is a-okay. Excuse me if I'm not super excited for that to be present on various social media platforms.

Have you tried it Oculus or similar tech? I found it to be a different level than 3D TV and 3D cinema, both of which were cool when you first saw them but quickly lost their novelty factor. To me, VR hasn't, and the immersive experience is still great.

I haven't tried the Metaverse and have no clue whether that'll take off, I'm more talking about the general technology. I have to admit, I'm still surprised it hasn't taken off stronger.

Sure, and I think we probably agree that some reform is needed around trademarking colors. So I'll correct myself as well and agree that it is a problem -- though somewhat limited in scope.

My point was only that it isn't a broad limitation such as Copyright creates that spills over into say, letting a camera take pictures with a shade of blue or using blue in a piece of software. I believe the scope of the trademark's application is fairly narrow, so it's not something most people in other fields need to worry about.
> Most companies aren't going to want their ads next to 'free for all' content, so we'll see what happens.

This is a misconception.

Outsiders don't know anything about ads.

Twitter needs to be more useful, especially to iOS users. It users outside of major US metros. It needs older users.

It will need better targeting and science.

Then it will increase ad revenue.
How do you turn solar panels on (or off)? I thought they just generate energy whenever light shines on them - if you don't take it out as electricity, they'll just heat up instead. Is that what you meant?
Twitter is also a risk, not just a distraction; now foreign governments can demand access and control in Twitter by holding Tesla revenue hostage (e.g., China's approval or disapproval of Tesla purchase tax exemptions), so he's basically paid a lot of cash to give bad actors additional levers to affect his other businesses.
I don't really agree with your premises.

But, for the sake of argument, let's take your notion of "Free labor creates capital". This implies a one-way exchange/robbery. That is not factual. People use Twitter and are not required to pay for it. This is an app requiring huge costs to build and maintain at scale. Again, they are using it for free. Users are getting the tools for creation and the (mass) distribution of the created objects for free. Moreover, users agree to TOS as part of that. Nowhere in the TOS will you find the notion of "owning your tweet" or being a capital creator/owner.

Again, you're radically redefining terms in a hand wavy, because-this-is-what-I-believe manner while also overlooking the basic facts of the situation and 100s of years of convention. Which is fine. Just don't expect the rest of us to get on board.
It's pretty common for the CEO, CFO and general counsel to be dismissed after acquisitions in circumstances (like here) where the acquisition is a disavowal of their vision and leadership. Keep in mind there are far more executives than these three.

It's less likely to happen for well-run, profitable companies that are just being acquired for talent or synergy reasons.

The size of the acquired and acquiring firms, and the type of acquisition, also plays a part; if Apple buys a startup, they might want to subsume them immediately into existing projects, so they'd likely fire the CEO CFO and GC; but if Google buys Nest or Fitbit (which serve different markets than Google, and are minor hobbies that shouldn't detract from Google's organizational priorities) they're more likely to keep the entire team intact (unless they willingly exit; that's another scenario).

He still communicates regularly with Jack Dorsey, so I doubt there's much knowledge and experience being lost.
Is it possible to make Google's filter to get false possible? I think if yes then it can be malused, similarly to incident with father and his son's medical image of groin.

As captured pretty well in the classic fake meme-exchange that goes something like:

"I was cancelled from Twitter for posting about my conservative views!"

"Oh no, you were cancelled for posting about restrained fiscal policy?"

"LOL no, not that."

"Free trade?"

"Not even close."

"Well... what conservative views are you talking about?"

"Oh, you know the ones" wink
The two pieces of information I think that stand out are:
1. Law enforcement elected not to pursue charges
2. The banned parties were comfortable enough going to a respected newspaper with the facts of their case, which, the newspaper presumably also did due diligence and sided with the users.

I don’t think that there’s really any “hidden” context here that would convince many (except maybe those who get their paychecks from big G) that google is not in the wrong.

Perhaps the hidden context here is that they also investigated the couple after the journal report and found other “violations” which were ban worthy after, not before, their case was aired publicly. I don’t think many people would consider this theoretical scenario fair either.

People have already died because of lies being spread. People's lives have been ruined. It's only going to get worse, especially if the election deniers get voted in en masse in Nov.
there was also some bit about a third party developer using their API to build something and they threatened to have him deported to China when he was a vocal anti CCP activist, essentially threatening him with jail/death if he didn't take down his project.
Yes, we do. Internal research at Twitter found that right wing tweets actually got promoted more by their algorithms.

So? If something is true who cares if a lot of people talk about it and like the content? It doesn't appear to be artificially inflated so it is just a lot of people talking about it.

Objective Reality is the manifest form of Universal Potential, in the moment of Now.

The “Truth” is a perturbation of Objective Reality.

The “truth” is the approximation in the mind.

Integrity is the measure of consistency between the two.

Subjective is emergent from relationships among existing things. Everything existent is its own subjective.

Subjective does not mean compromised or corrupted, it means partial, limited, and of a fractional representation of what ever phenomena it interprets.

Opinions, beliefs, thoughts, and feelings have their own rightful places among us, yet they in no way should be taken before truth, when Truth is not at hand.

Opinions are at times cover for clever craft, so it may be one’s own hazard to rule out every avenue of uncertainty.

Key part being the last sentence here:

"We prohibit targeting others with repeated slurs, tropes or other content that intends to dehumanize, degrade or reinforce negative or harmful stereotypes about a protected category. This includes targeted misgendering or deadnaming of transgender individuals."

Perhaps Twitter does arbitrarily enforce punishment for intentional misgendering. Doesn't change the fact that Babylon Bee shouldn't agree to those terms in the first place if they have no plan on adhering to them.
I have a feeling this will make the DC-DC converters more bulky and hot on the card itself.

Not entirely sure though as I've never built those.

However in the longer term it's probably time to start optimizing for power efficiency just like Intel did after the pentium 4. Cards can't keep increasing requirements in this day of energy crisis. And the climate problem insures it'll be like that for a long time.

It works the other way too. Low voltage is not really "safe", we can just tolerate the risk most of the time. Soak your hands in some saltwater & then grab 12 volt rails, it'll hurt like hell.
It's certainly valuable to Twitter's largest customers. Think GM, Coca-Cola, et al. I suspect the industry won't look much different after Twitter has gone private and "new" policies have taken hold.
