If we are going to make a stink about "rent seeking" should we start with mobile apps or landlords?

I think you’re just fundamentally misunderstanding me. Remembering how to do something like ‘hold one of the many keys your left thumb can reach down’ followed by hjkl is more difficult for me than just hjkl or moving my right hand a little bit. Remembering keyboard chords is almost like a dyslexia for me. I get them mixed up all the time and it doesn’t work for me (I know this because I tried to use Emacs before using vi). I can only memorize a few of the most important combinations for applications I use. Everything else is through the GUI.

Not everyone has the capacity to think in the same way you do.

Obsidian works with what is called a vault, i.e. a project folder. You can then search for text across all the notes in a vault. No need to remember the date.

In addition to that, you can work with hash tags inside the notes and then filter files based on tags, e.g. #sql-query or so.

> After extensive practice with such systems (talking years between physical flaschards, supermemo and anki), I found it leads to shallow understanding and bad linking between knowledge bits

The issue with flashcard style practice is that it doesn't offer much in "application"-learning, which may help explain the shallow understanding. Spaced repetition needs to be repetition of applying the concept, not reviewing it. I know that its not easy to do for all domains, but if you look at musicians (as another poster described), actors, artists, athletes, and martial artists (to borrow the article's reference), their spaced repetition is more about applying their craft to build muscle memory as well as create "a-ha" moments of insight.

> idea of copyrighting colors is ridiculous

Absolutely, however at least here in the UK (and I suspect the EU), copying the Pantone colour book would be classed as copying a “database”. Databases are copyrightable, whether you agree with that or not.

My argument is rather than doing something that drags the copyright debate into to situation just make something better and “free as in beer and speech”.

Copying something that is “copyright” to “free it” puts you on the back foot. You will loos the argument eventually.

Most apps have an API they use. Apple hosts the binaries to be installed, and hosts the payment APIs if they are use IAP. Perhaps it could be argued that each service that Apple provides should be billed separately.
That ignores all the existing infra (or lack thereof).

Fossil fuels are very energy dense, and we still have tons of truck stops everywhere - and need them!

Last mile, most dropoffs are not going to have power infra to allow MW+ Charging of every truck that shows up, at least not without a lot of time to upgrade. And many won’t want to even try, as they’re paying the logistics companies so they don’t need to deal with stuff like that.

Even distribution centers would struggle (capex wise), as we’d be talking 100s of megawatts at least of extra load, possibly giggawatts.

I was a victim of crowd crush one summer at an open-air Cure concert. Dinosaur JR was opening, and I was eager to get up-close. I was kind of rattled by frat boys actually bellowing, "kill the weak!" but when the music started I was caught up and crushed up against the stage.

> Biological sex is unrelated to the topic at hand

So is hormonal balance or whatever you use for defining gender. Why do we care about gender at all?

> Is it - where do you draw the line?

When a person's body has all typical characteristics of a specific sex, then it's unambiguously that sex. Otherwise, they can rightfully identify as intersex, but that has nothing to do with transgenderism, where the body is unambiguous and only the mind seems to differ (and that's only considering people with gender dysphoria, aka “truscum”, and not those that are doing it for other reasons).

> From Trans Man in Webster: Definition of trans man

: a transgender man : a man who was identified as female at birth

If politically motivated people create a dictionary entry, then it agrees with them. What a surprise.

The word “assigned” is nonsense. The doctor doesn't flip a coin to determine the sex. The sex is observed.

Pantone isn't copyrighting the colors, they're copyrighting the collection. It's similar to copyrighting a map: you're not claiming that all representations of this part of the world now belong to you, you're claiming that this representation belongs to you.

It does seem like Adobe could have mapped the colors in existing files to a useful hex code instead of blacking them all out.
> It's the explicit job of prosecutors to get guilty verdicts regardless of the defendant's guilt.

This is not correct; they're supposed to e.g. dismiss charges if they learn they've charged the wrong guy.

The problem isn't that the system calls for them to convict innocent people. The problem is that they're evaluated by their conviction rate.

> Actual real-world cost of deployment is mugh higher than estimates [1] frequently exceeding $500/kWh.

Can you point why you think this number, for installed battery cost, is somehow a contradiction of the numbers I posted? Additionally, temporary supply shortages due to massive new markers opening up as the cost drops is completely expected. All the temporary higher prices finance massive production capacity expansion that drops prices in the future. This is a well understood dynamic that we see again and again, even in fossil due production!

> Even just one day's worth of storage would mean dedicating 100% of battery production to grid storage for over a century.

There are two extreme errors with writing something like this: 1) assuming that battery production stays constant, when it has been growing 10x/5 years, and we are seeing unprecedented demand for new applications. 2) Using primary energy production for comparison to electrified electricity use, when electrified versions of the fossil fuel versions require 3x-4x less electricity. This sort of basic error is as bad as comparing 1GW of solar to 1GW of nuclear without correcting for capacity factor.

With reasonable battery production scaling, we will be producing 20-30TWh/year of batteries in a decade. For comparison, it takes more than a decade for us to build a nuclear reactor in the West, so if we are in course to have a fully scaled battery production supply chain for global use, whereas we can't even scale nuclear construction in the US to match the rate at which we will be retiring our aging fleet over the next 20 years.

It's time to take a serious look at what carbon-free energy tech is on the table right now and start deploying it as fast as possible, right now, today. At the same time, we should continue research into fanciful ideas like small modular nuclear reactors, in case they pan out. But we need to go to war with the army we have right now.
CoWasm supports WASI right now via this library https://www.npmjs.com/package/wasi-js, which I actually develop as part of CoWasm . One unusually thing I did, which goes beyond what emscripten does, is I implemented a quite a bit of posix functionality, often by writing extension code to nodejs and calling it from Javascript, because there's a lot of POSIX that Node.js doesn't expose. This only works on Mac and Linux and is also available standalone in this library https://www.npmjs.com/package/posix-node, which is implemented in Zig. You can get a sense of the scope of POSIX functionality that goes beyond what WASI defines here: https://github.com/sagemathinc/cowasm/tree/main/packages/ker...

One motivation for doing this is to try to get the full Python test suite to pass, including all the functionality that involves subprocesses, posix calls, etc. I've only got to about 85% at this point. It can be a ton of tedious work, but at least Zig helps impose some discipline (e.g, it doesn't let you ignore handling errors until later), and makes it easy to test compilation for all supported targets on every change (due to excellent cross compilation support).

It’s also a lie that it wasn’t available for review. It was in review for about 10 months before it started to land in a release.
No. Most of us correctly noted that no matter how much effort Tesla puts into Optimus, it won't be as good as Honda's Asimo demo for years.

Let alone Boston Dynamic's demos. Or Disney's stunt robot.

So we're mostly laughing at the wasted effort. Of course it's possible, other companies made humanoid walking robots like 20 years ago.

The other questions, like how to actually make money from them, remain unanswered.
They don’t require a license fee in order to specify an area as a specific colour. You could literally write it on as an instruction to your printer. I have literally done that.

They charge Adobe for the right to include their database of colours in their software. Adobe failed to negotiate a sustainable relationship, and sold a product to customers under the pretence of including the Pantone database, then pulled it.
But by a very large margin. If dang started his own for-pay forum I would join in a heartbeat. The moderation is phenomenal. And I fear for his health. If he went solo he could hire a backup person or three. You think he couldn't get 10,000 people paying $5/month for this kind of content?
Getting everybody together once in a long while, and synchronizing a "what are you working on?" is a good exercise.

You didn't dispute my point that they still need another $1.2B/year. And even looking at their 10 past years (where 2020 was the highest income), it's still bleak.

Mold lawsuits are very common; the money in mold testing is to always find mold. People who honestly want to know whether they have a problem are dwarfed in number by people who honestly want a certificate that says mold was found.
You may think so ;)
And we got rid of Liz Truss within weeks. Plus the damage she did was limited to a single country. It's actually pretty good proof that the system worked. It's not perfect but the people spoke and she was removed. If I'm in an EU country how do I vote to stop policies that are being handed down. I probably can influence some how but it's a pretty big problem that it seems like we can't. I think this perception was partly to blame for Brexit (which I voted against and hope can be undone some day).
Electrolysis at scale has to happen for green hydrogen to replace coking coal in iron smelting/steelmaking (~9% of global carbon emissions)[1] and to replace steam reformation of fossil methane for making ammonia, for fertilizer (~1%).

Those applications don't require an elaborate transport infrastructure; just that the plants be located near large PV farms or vice versa.

Why write "trillions" in capital letters? Is it supposed to be impressive? A trillion dollars is one percent of global GDP. Oil, fossil gas, and coal extraction cost 5 TRILLION dollars a year, and the infrastructure for their use (vehicles, boilers, etc.) cost TRILLIONS more. And that's just to offset depreciation.

1. An alternative to using hydrogen for iron smelting is direct electrolysis of molten iron ore, but that is at early research stages. It can't be rolled out globally in the next four decades; development will take longer than that.
My guess would be that lots of the country actually lies below the sea level and so some land is lost to the rising sea.

Interestingly, a discharged lithium ion battery still has electric potential in it, it's just that we stop discharging it after it hits a cutoff voltage to protect the battery's lifespan.

I wonder if a truly 100% discharged battery (down to zero volts) would actually be basically inert, and not even smolder if you poked it.
Something like this for ImageMagick would be awesome. Its CLI syntax is not quite as arcane as FFmpeg, but the sheer breadth of available options and the power of possible combinations is similarly insane.

Yes, Bruce Lee must be wrong, because obviously it has to be one end of the spectrum or the other /s. How about the man who has practiced 100 kicks 100 times each? Maybe he’s the one to fear.

An inspiring story.
The creator does have experience producing physical paints and pigments, so they are aware of the points you're making.

The purpose here is not to replace Pantone entirely, but to be able to represent Pantone colors somewhat faithfully in digital documents. Pantone does provide official RGB approximations, but apparently you can't use them in an Adobe product anymore. This is meant as an alternative.
There were videos of people drinking and dancing right next to a dozen flashing ambulances. I don't think that kind of protocol would work, even in Korea.

(Also most people grossly underestimate this kind of danger - by the time someone in the center realizes they're in trouble, it would be too late.)
Looks like a well structured one. Great. It'd also be nice to see the API docs on Wiki though. I like rqlite's simple documentation, for instance. [0]

Fuel infrastructure burns all the time, though. It's like every month there's a video of some tanker overturned on the highway, or a refinery fire, or a gas explosion.

I don't know what link you’re referring to, but I think it just means that people are afraid they won’t be able to afford food, gas, or rent, and they think voting for the other party will somehow fix it.

Debating VPN Options
It’s not entirely about the %. The problem is that there’s no alternative. I have no real problem with someone like Google with the Play Store or Valve with Steam giving developers the option of shipping on their platforms for a commission like 30%, because you don’t need the Play Store to install apps nor Steam to install video games. In those cases it can actually be a decision about whether or not the hosting/visibility/platform is _worth_ the cut. But in Apple’s case there is no decision to be made. You can’t opt out. That’s why you see so much more flak thrown at Apple for this commission than you do other platform providers.

It helps to know that the shift has a solid foundation, that it's not some kind of act one just needs to put on forever.

We know, for instance, about mirror neurons, and that seeing some else's pain can light up some of the same parts in the brain of the observer. You can tune them out, or strengthen them.

We know that the right hemisphere has entirely non-verbal modes of thought and generally sees the whole without breaking things into pieces--we don't have to put together some mystical oneness, but just tune into those aspects of our own being.

Without understanding these things about the brain, I'd take pointing out the potential for transformation as just moralizing and conceptualizing, just a draining act to put on for all time. There's a solid foundation to build on--it will run on the hardware, it's not just emulation.
