> Because energy storage is currently not a problem, and consequently not profitable.

All the big pumped storage in the UK is owned by for-profit companies.

Are they making the big money from running school tours? Maybe the gift shop? I don't think so.

In the UK they can buy 1.5GWh of electricity for say £75000 on a windy Sunday night and then sell say 1.2GWh (pumped storage is maybe 80% efficient) for £200000 on Monday afternoon. That's a £125 000 profit in under a day. And this wouldn't be their best case it's just a pretty good day although there are always worse days because doing this well involves predicting weather and other factors so as to judge when to buy and sell.

They're not going to become the next Apple doing this, but it's a healthy business.
I think the consensus is still that you can't write side-channel/timing proof crypto in (most) Javascript (runtimes) - but that with webcrypto(?) most runtimes will provide the secure crypto primitives you need in order to do (secure) crypto with Javascript?
Okay, then at some point we can get be more concerned about the protest than about the potentially cataclysmic thing they're protesting.
They arrived full of gas with nowhere to offload. Those ships are what I'm suggesting wait until offloading is possible.
You're not wrong but you're really not proving him wrong by not arguing or trying to feel superior.
That 100% falls into the aforementioned category of Mastercard/Visa, where censorship is possible.
There's a reason margins are what they are in a competitive market. "Your margin is my opportunity," as Lord Bezos famously said. Only companies that have captured their market get to raise prices to cover new costs, and all it does is induce people who want to own that margin to find flaws in the business model. This is how Netflix wrecked Blockbuster, and how Amazon killed off chain bookstores.

Most off topic:

Back in 1989, we did a week long high school trip from Belgium to Leningrad and Moscow. This was during the Gorbachev time, right before the fall of the wall.

Jeans and sneakers from the West were a big thing on the Russian black market back then. So all the kids brought along their most worn down jeans and sneakers, and use them to fund local purchases of vodka and other fun stuff. (Belgian teachers are much more forgiving than American ones!) To sell them, all you had to do was to walk around on the major streets. Your western clothes made you stand out like a sore thumb so within minutes you'd be swarmed by local wanting to trade.

Good times!
Oh, I misunderstood. I don't know Go very well but they do seem optional there:

func main() { func main() {
var x = 3; var x = 3

x += 1; x += 1

fmt.Printf("%d\n", x); fmt.Printf("%d\n", x)
} }
$ go run with_semicolons.go $ go run without_semicolons.go

MagSafe has a lot of benefits. High wattage before the latest high wattage usb-c came out, and easily disconnects which is great for laptops.

Seriously , I’ve seen it save so many laptops in its current and prior generations.

Pardon? I am asking OP why he's annoyed that the post mentions VSCode. It's not normal to be annoyed at the mere mention of a text editor.

You should work on 1. your reading comprehension, and 2. making relevant comments to the discussion at hand.
Sure. I left it on default settings and the video/graphics performance along with the playability has been truly remarkable. The stereo surround is also quite good. I suppose some criticisms might be that the battery goes pretty quickly (~1 hour) and it does get very warm, but I find these tradeoffs easy to live with. I've only had my deck for about a month and this is my first game to play through on it.

I'm a software engineer with a ton of Linux experience so hacking the Deck doesn't scare me at all; I've read quite a bit about it. But I figured I'd give it a go first with the out-of-the-box configuration and so far have been thoroughly impressed.
Thanks for responding! I am curious about splitting your log into per day files. How would you go about finding a specific SQL query that you used last month, but don't remember the exact day? Is there a way in Obsidian to combine all days into a single view? Or would you search for files with SQL queries (e.g., notes with both "select" and "from")?
Sometimes all I want to do in life is build some sort of community website with PHP. I might even upload it through SFTP the first version. Maybe when I retire and don’t care about employability anymore I’ll be able to make that dream a reality.
If you mean cables that have a USB-C tip at one end, that's true, but I could cite thousands of distinct cables that have a USB-A tip at one end.

Also "charge only" cables violate the spec, and thunderbolt-only cables violate the spec.

When the cable is USB-C at both ends, there are different speeds and that's pretty much the only thing you need to care about. Occasionally you need to check whether it's a 60 watt cable or something higher, but not often.
Can someone explain why both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store give opaque explanations for rejections? Why don't they just tell developers what's wrong and what needs to be fixed instead of pointing to some broad rule and forcing an interpretative song and dance?
The Elite are drunk on PPP money printing, and don't want to downsize. Meanwhile inflation means all your employees expect a 10-15% raise to keep up with higher costs, and paying your employees is verboten in the religion of American Capitalism.
My experience has been that the Play Store does have relatively quick review times (usually under a day). But the feedback given upon rejections is often so poor that it doesn't help much. As it can often take several trial and error submissions to resolve the issue.
This shitty analogy assumes that nobody wants HOAs. I personally hate them growing up in the west but a huge chunk of the population thinks they are as important to a neighborhood as having good schools, garbage service, etc.
You are making numerous claims throughout this thread without a single citation.

Where can I find a study that supports this:
"There was a three or four month window, right when the vaccines were first released, when a 95+% implementation of the initial vaccine shot could have produced a reasonably close facsimile of herd immunity, such that it would have made it several orders more difficult for the virus to effectively mutate. It could have conceivably cut the subsequent death toll in half, if not more.

Unfortunately, politics and antivaxx disinformation got in the way of that. And people continued to die in droves due to selfishness and lies."
Cause for hope that our right leg ('conservative party') may yet be salvaged by folks who have had enough of Trumpism. I especially enjoyed the last section, Good news for democracy.
Capitalism is not a clear cut binary of "public/private." This is not an essential element of this system, as you have capitalist apparatuses acting in totalitarian/communist states, such as state owned beer companies in China that still act as capitalist entities, i.e. they are invested in in expectations to grow the profits from this company. It is actually speculated by theorists like Althusser that the private/public dynamic doesn't even exist. Maybe you are talking about the definition accepted by market exchange semantics, where anyone can gamble on a company vs. only a specific number of people/one person gambles on it.

I liked Neverwinter Nights 2 -- so no wonder I liked playing The Witcher 1. I think I played on a very underpowered laptop back then (as a college student), so if the engine was sluggish I probably attributed that to gaming on a laptop :D
You care when it stops working one day because Apple changed something (maybe intentionally). Out of a combination of spite and cheapness, I've only ever bought unlicensed cables for several years, and this is the price I've paid over time.
Why do you need generics? It’s dynamically typed.
In my mind that is like taking a car to a carwash, right before driving it off a cliff. There really isn't a need for a carwash. There are 2k nuclear missles pointed to us - with a mad man about to push a button. Sure recycle. But.
Fun fact: The U.S. government saw the movie Enemy of the State and said, "We want that." And that's how we got programs like GORGON STARE and CONSTANT HAWK, which can track the movement of vehicles over a miles-wide area. Now it seems that municipal-level LE can get their hands on even more advanced versions of this tech.
I think Germans can afford it and are willing to pay it to keep their economy going
On the other hand, maybe destroying priceless art is a more effective way of sending their powerful relatives a message than, I dunno, reaming them out over Thanksgiving dinner.
Thanks a lot! Just an FYI, the google sheets destination is great for getting started but we support several destinations for more advanced usage and workflows.

Regarding pricing, you are mostly right. It is connector-dependent and volume based. Most of our connectors are charged at $0.00004USD per event.
I watched some footage of cyberpunk and the characters in it seemed so offputting that I never bought the game. Everyone in the game seemed to be some sort off money-grubbing primitive sociopath or a selfish asshole otherwise. I never bought GTA4/GTA5 for the same reason - I don't want to spend many hours in a game where I interact with characters I detest.
Exactly, we are witnessing supply destruction. It's worth considering that liquid natural gas is one of the most expensive (in both emissions and cost) to ship.

It needs to be held in special LNG carrier ships that can keep it not only at the right pressure, but the right temperature (against vast fluctuations). The crew on this ship requires special training and the ships carry a different insurance profile.

This is not like oil which is essentially held at room temperature in a water tight vessel.

Therefore just having LNG in a ship takes a considerable number of resources even if it's just sitting there. Crew and insurance has to be paid, refrigeration and ship costs add up, as well as the opportunity cost.

As you can imagine, getting the LNG that you very expensively purchased in the US, shipped, and then brought to Europe, is quite important. Every day delayed this becomes money that is not just being incinerated, but also not being maid.

What we are witnessing now is supply destruction, and as much as the ignorant journalists at CNN may celebrate it, this is actually quite bad long-term for Europe.

Coincidentally, the only other thing that is likely to be more expensive to ship is what Canada's Trudeau has promised Germany it will send: hydrogen. Thankfully that is likely to never happen as the promise was as limp-wristed as it gets.
New mining permits in the US are magnets for environmental review lawsuits.

Depending on the type of mine, getting a new one up and running can take 7-17 years, counting planning, permitting and the inevitable lawsuits.

Copper and nickel mine runoff can be extremely toxic, especially to aquatic wildlife and wetlands. Remediation isn't really feasible once the damage is done, so plenty of groups would rather outright ban certain rich deposits from being mined at all than take the risk.

How sensitive environments elsewhere in the world fare under mines that aren't subject to safety precautions in the US is apparently an "other people" problem.
What they are doing also risks destroying cultural heritage. Causing damage to great works of art will do nothing to endear me to your cause. Why did they even go after this painting in particular, if not for sheer attention seeking?

What I'm hearing is there's a hell of a European market to cater to USA and other regions to host apps, and then play hardball in getting real answers.
Sorry for not being clear.

I intended not suggest anything about isolation or not showing in progress work or diagramming as bliss ninny pursuit.

But rather as hard work and discipline mostly rewarded by more hard work and discipline.

Probably over years. Over years because that’s the time scale of skills picked up in a career.

On the other hand, there’s not much point in doing anything not to get better at it…or rather it is tragic when there is a point to doing something without hoping to be better at it.

For reference my suggestion is drawn from professional architecture and conveying precise meaning through drawings and sketches with millions of dollars and some arbitrary number of lives at stake. It is not from photo realism horses drawing.

My advice is drawn from exact graphic communication for money with the threat of lawsuits for ambiguity and error.

To quote Matthew Todd: "We just had another warning from the UN that we are essentially on course for the end of the world - it was hardly reported in the media, not heard anyone talking about it on the radio.

Smart contracts for bitcoin? Can you provide some documentation on that?
I would think of this differently; I've seen cases of very big companies trying to buy software startups, and when the startups declined, the big companies cloned the software startup's tech while filing their own patents all around it. Startups having something at least gives some sort of ammunition should this kind of thing happen. Also, I think IP is a good bargaining chip when seeking funding etc., and I've seen IP multiply the valuation of startups during potential sales
Sorry, if we would be honest, we know that "they" did all you ask for a long time and nothing worked. We would need serious change RIGHT NOW, but we are slamming this planet against a wall.

I'm not on their side, I don't think it is good.. but I'm really surprised by the non-empathy of many here.. those folks are kind of panicking for the future and imo radicalization if nothing happens will become much worse - this glueing is also kind of little self-destruction, and in the end still a very peaceful protest. And it least gets them attention. And while I have accepted the fate that future generations (if they are there haha) will hate us for what we have done, or what we have not done, in my lazy chair.. and while I would similarly judge those activists for doing some non-sense.. if I'm honest, I have no clue what they should do better. Resigned, kind of. We all know not much will happen. :(

What you do here is really just very top-down distracting rhetoric, imo ;)
Not sure why you're lumping Nintendo with the other two in this instance, that is very much not true.
Power demand is inelastic. What these agencies say about power prices is true if you don't factor in the fact that wind isn't always blowing and the sun isn't always shining. When wind and solar can produce power, they can produce it very cheaply. 1 watt of solar power is very expensive to produce from starlight, and so is 1 watt of wind power on a calm day.

The price of the batteries and/or overbuilt capacity has to be factored in to the price of renewable energy if you want to run the grid 100% on renewables. If you don't want batteries, and instead want a global grid, the cost of transport has to be factored in. Either proposition makes renewable energy extremely expensive for providing base load power, not to mention currently impossible.

Currently, we need something like 10-100 TWh of batteries for grid stabilization in just the US. Taking a high estimate of 1 TWh this year, that would be 10-100 years of the entire current global lithium ion battery production (not including the fact that those batteries are going to depreciate over 5-10 years). Pumped storage and other (weirder) energy storage methods also can't scale up enough to get anywhere near this demand.

This is the first time I've seen a claim that dams create ecosystems that we should worry about destroying. As far as I know, they disrupt fish and animal migrations, reduce natural carbon sinks, reduce biodiversity, and block sediment from providing nutrients downstream.

Is there any source saying dams create healthy natural ecosystems? A necessary evil I can kind of see, but a net positive for ecosystems? That seems doubtful.
This is interesting. The zooming in though, the script seemed to cut it when it’s not zooming. When I’m zooming in from wide area imagery, I usually zoom quickly to the general area then pan to the thing of interest that caused me to zoom.

Is the takeaway from that part really that they’re zooming in on nothing?
But there are no ads in WhatsApp and if there were, we’d likely see people switch to one of an infinity of similar free apps.
Not a single link on that search, the first page at least, says the Chinese government is going to topple on its own.

I have never read a mainstream article that says China will collapse. They are a juggernaut that will continue to achieve impressive goals. What seem to be agreed is that they will face significant challenges, and overtaking the US is not a foregone conclusion.
Not sure why you want a framework if the only thing you’re looking to make things more performant. Raw PHP is going to always be faster unless it’s a framework based on C modules.

I’m not saying don’t do it and I know this isn’t answering your question but I’d really think about if a framework is what you’re looking for.

Where are your bottle necks? I’m assuming this app is a monolith?
In my region of the US, hydro use to power a lot of manufacturing until electricity came in. Canals were built for power, leaving the rivers flow naturally. But these canals are in dis-repair. To me, why not refurb these canals to provide power. There is plenty of water and plenty of places like this in the area.
I listen to the Pyramid Song by Radiohead on headphones :) couldn’t pass up either.
I think a lot of the issue with ads on the internet is that they are increasingly user-hostile; Minimal communication of the utility of the advertised product, heavy use of psychological manipulation, ads masquerading as genuine content, excessive length, etc. The pervasive use of surveillance to target these ads and make them more manipulative is also a major issue. The result is that users block ads, which means ads become even more numerous and aggressive, which results in a feedback loop. A lot of this could be reverted if advertisers used more informational ad styles, similar to those used in the mid-20th century, and used only context-based targeting, but I doubt marketing executives would go for that.
> So you have no actual ideas then.

Gluing your head to a painting cannot possibly be described as an "actual idea".
Then it can be interpreted that the riches new favourite toy is Tesla Model Y.
It's a possibility but not a remotely likely one.

If Putin decides to launch nuclear weapons at US/Europe, then US would do the same from their Ohio class submarines. Everyone knows this. But it's useful for Russia to amplify the threat since it distracts politically from their losing war in Ukraine.

Now since it's not likely we should focus on what is likely and that is climate change.
It's really old and has a lot of history post ancient Egypt a fair bit of it abusive, e.g. it looks like the sphinx's nose was chiselled off (not shot off with a cannon by Napoleon in the myth). People used to climb all over the great pyramid, etc.
It's cool to go to the more recently discovered places like the valley of the queens to see the paint and hieroglyphics. All the stuff near Cairo has had more human interaction.

It's a mistake to use biometrics for authentication. Perhaps as weak identification it's acceptable.

It's a username, not a password. Because it's public, shared (you leave bits of bioinformation everywhere you go) and not deliberately changeable.

A password is none of those things.

>overall LFPR can be almost entirely attributed to the drop in immigration during the pandemic.

I just heard a report this morning that there was a very real labor participation rate drop among women, particularly with working mothers. How does your immigration hypothesis align with that? Is it that child care work is primarily driven by immigrant workers? Or is it that other groups more than make up for that in the general statistic?
A step-up prompt or notification wouldn't be a bad idea to approve ssh connections before they are established -- This is the same issue with ssh agents. I think there's an ACL setting in tailscale where you check ssh connections with a re-auth. it's time-based with a minimum of 1 minute though.
Being able to is actually a green flag. Banks wouldn't keep lending it if the companies didn't pay it back. This isn't VC we're talking about here.
May be greed, or may be because of regulatory capture. I.e. it is incredibly expensive to start a company due to all the requirements that the companies that do exist can continue to raise prices with no competition.
