Aluminum recycling still makes complete sense both economicaly and environmentally. It's cheaper and less energy intensive to reprocess cans and car bodies than to process ore into metallic aluminum. We should be focusing on recycling of metals (including batteries) and try to ditch plastics for glass. Glass just becomes sand in a landfill, which is vastly preferable to plastics that will still be around in a million years.

I know for a fact that it isn't complete. But most of the "secret" ones that I am aware of were very obscure and usually buggy, so maybe this is all of the officially supported ones.

Well, that is not enough to convince me. Regarding GrapheneOS, I have read extremely aggressive posts from the author against their previous company. I thought that maybe it was a toxic company, and the GrapheneOS was right (why not?).

Then I've seen exchanges between the GrapheneOS author and some Calyx people on some GitHub issue, and they were borderline insulting each other. At this point is difficult for me to believe that somehow the GrapheneOS author is always the victim. And if that's the case, then that's bad for the CalyxOS community anyway.

Maybe that's misinformation, and they all love each other. Maybe not. How could I tell? What I see is that I would not want to be part of such discussions.
I literally read the whole post thinking it was by Scott Aaronson, until I found the signature "Adam" at the end.

The beginning could have been Scott Aaronson, and I expected it to continue with some incredibly deep insight on how anything in the universe cannot be described in a small number of bits, but anything humans can think of can, etc etc.

It didn't quite go there but a fun read regardless.
I have always been curious why I have been seeing people with MacBooks close their lids and walk away at a moment’s notice for nearly 20 years, but I still do not expect to be able to do that from any non Macbook.

>What's weird is that every price jumped after selling the car to a dealer, not that the retail price was higher than the trade-in price.

It's based on comps. Dealer in your zip listed it at a comical price and it dragged the price up because data was sparse.
> Tesla's mentality is more akin to Microsoft than any startup. Startups are generally customer rather than IP-focused.

Every serious VC is like Microsoft.

What you're talking about are not startups, in my opinion, they're mom and pop stores, the ones that don't grow explosively.

Not OP, but later in their comment they say:

So, they shared that "free will" really means things like ... declining dessert.

I can't speak for S4/suspend to disk level hibernation, but regular S3/sleep when I close the lid has worked perfectly for me since 2008.

That isn't to say that it's worked out of the box. When I install Linux on a laptop, I'll put some effort into making sure everything works as wanted and this might involve adding kernel flags or mucking with dbus, and it certainly involves some research. If you expect any open source OS to behave like a proprietary OS you bought a license for, you're likely to be disappointed. If you come in with the expectation of learning to solve problems for yourself you'll fare much better.
> Why is it that I need to do this stuff in my off hours as well?

The comment you're replying to says they do it for fun. If you don't find it fun, of course you won't do it for fun outside work, at best you'd do it for more money or something.

I don't know if I'd go as far as "living and breathing" but at work I write boring code, at home I write fun code. Different languages, different problems, no deadlines, actual fun rather than work.
I have to say, very excited about all of the future projects!

I'm also interested in seeing what the federated GQL solution will be as well- there are established players in this space like Apollo but built on more open-core models. Their federation model is well defined and on version 2 now. Not sure what learnings can be taken from this, or if that solutions "just fits" the needs of Sourcehut.

Keep it coming, everything is looking great!

This does not follow from the above. The set of positive integers is countably infinite. So is the set of positive even integers. Even if "half of the positive integers are missing!" there are still "endless" even postive integers.
Nice. I like the suggestion form methodology.
I’m not sure what planet the author is living on. 70 years of oligopoly would suggest otherwise. Seat belts, safety glass and steering columns that don’t harpoon the driver may have been inevitable as the consequences of dying in minor crashes began to hurt Americans, but it sure took a lot of dedicated people like Ralph Nader to make it so.

Until the moment when you need to speed away from the danger or you need the extra power to escape the skid. But yeah, let’s just put enforced speed limiters on cars. What could go wrong.
All the studies I've seen show that "diversity training" simply doesn't work, or even makes people more bias. It seems to exist solely to prevent lawsuits.

Kind of? I don't read general news every day. That's more a weekly thing at best.

But I do read tech related news on a daily basis. So if a story is related to gaming or software engineering I probably would have heard about it, but if it's related to the goings on in Westminster or the White House? Not so much.

As for how I choose sources? Well usually it's based on me having found said source reliable in the past, and trusting them afterwards. If they then start posting falsehoods, I'll drop them and find someone else to get info from instead. I usually use a variety of sources for this, all of which I've had experience with for years or decades.

Lots of “educational” crypto content is thinly-veiled sales.

An attorney signing to your business being bona fide informational, and not one that e.g. profits from affiliate sales or coin drops, is material. What looks irrelevant at first glance is germane, at least for a regulator doing a first pass.

> they didn't even both to say, "Ok, you may go."

Not sure about commodities and futures, but for securities you may never go. You are always under force of jurisdiction, a set-up intentionally more intrusive than most American regulation.
This was nothing like a Ponzi scheme - the money was lost due to bad trades, poor collateral, bad accounting/compliance with probably a little bit of criminality thrown in at the end.

Although they were trading crypto it was more like an old fashioned/real money collapse.

There was an article some years ago (2 or 3?), that described a drone (or drones?) that flew 24/7 over Mexico city taking high resolution video of the entire city at all times.

Whenever there was a crime, the police could zoom into that location at the time of the crime and then run backwards to see where the vehicles came from. They then knocked on that door.

I'm disappointed that I can't seem to find it using Google anymore, maybe it was from a movie or TV show?! That would be weird though, because it seems technically quite reasonable to achieve and hard to believe governments wouldn't jump on it.
The cable is named for computer science pioneer Grace Brewster Murray Hopper (1906–1992), best known for her work on one of the first linkers (compilers), which was critical in the development of the COBOL programming language. She’s also credited with famously finding an actual “bug” in a program; her team tracked down the source of a short circuit on the early Harvard Mark II computer to a moth trapped in a panel. It is to honor Grace Hopper’s legacy of innovation by investing in the future of transatlantic communications with a state-of-the-art fiber optic cable.

Yeah, I’m nominally familiar with these, but I can’t understand why one of these low latency collectors wouldn’t be the default GC unless they impose other significant tradeoffs.

You could maybe lever into their bond issuances, if you can find a seller and suitable leverage? On BusinessInsider's screener I see as high as 5% coupon which isn't great in this environment.

It's less direct, but the battle for eyeballs is sort of zero-sum, so if you think that Twitter could take a chunk out of META, SNAP, PINS, userbase then inverse exposure there may be your route, or possibly the news media... businesses hedge their model against this sort of risk too by M&A.
What are you talking about? Only 54% - or only 18% if you consider 4th dose, not available to general population - are boosted. The number in NYT is blatantly false.

Surely you are not adding 3rd + 4th dose together? You can't do that. They are the same group of people. If everyone who got the 3rd shot got the 4th today, 108% of Finnish population would be boosted?

Students in most public schools don’t even learn English grammar now in most states. That went away at some point in the Bush or Obama administrations, probably due to the NCLB and Common Core initiatives. It is not uncommon now to encounter college students who simply have never heard of a “direct object.” They need classes on the grammar of their own language more than they need a school subject on interacting with an overhyped and underperforming Siri.

It opens by using their full names, but goes on to refer to them as sbf, caroline and trabucco in the rest of the piece. I guess it's like "zuck" and "pg" etc, I don't think it was meant in a bad way.
I would not count on Google to make public any such thing. But a third party could test it out to build such a list. And that could include caveats like "works if you ask in this form, no if you ask in this other form".
Yes, of course.

My opinion is that this article's take is trying to downplay the major contribution of the USSR in defeating Nazi Germany. It's not another take; they seem to imply it's the main take besides which all other contributions pale. And that's not true. Yes, economy and industrial output was a major deal and I don't think anybody [1] ignores this. But all of that would have been for naught if there hadn't been actual bodies on the ground, bleeding and defending or capturing ground. So it's true that Germany's war was doomed because its economy and industry couldn't compete (even with their vast use of slave labor) but still, had the Soviets not resisted them, they probably would have ended the war without catastrophic defeat but with a treaty, and possibly Hitler and some of the leadership would have survived.

You know what seems petty? With the Cold War finally past us [and Putin's latest adventures notwithstanding] it's finally becoming understood [again, see 1] that the USSR was the major factor in Germany's defeat. It wasn't the Americans saving the day in Normandy or whatnot, pop culture notwithstanding. And so of course, some think tank will strive to prove that if America wasn't the decisive factor in battle, then battle wasn't all that important after all. I call this way of thinking "sour grapes".

----

[1] anybody outside mainstream pop culture, that is, which still claims America "won" WW2 and that the major battles were in North Africa and Normandy. And which is puzzled when the Soviet Union is mentioned at all, except they "know" thanks to fiction like Enemy at the Gates, that the Soviets major "contribution" to the war was commissars busily gunning down their own troops, and maybe a sniper or two.

It's not a continuous distribution - there's no biological variable of 'sex units' that describe a spectrum of maleness to femaleness.

Meanwhile there are people explaining with a straight face that FTX.us and FTX have nothing to do whatsoever with each other. The name has to be a coindicence certainly!?
Coinbase Ventures (a fund whose wheelhouse is, uh, investing in crypto ventures) did not invest anything like $95m.

Your fourth example, Blackrock, is tellingly neither a seasoned venture fund nor an experienced crypto investor.
Neither of these numbers are correct, they imply 100M of profit a day.

Volume is heavily weighted towards the highest tiers which on ftx were paying 0.015% to take and receiving 0.01% to make (given, alameda would receive no rebate).

They've also never claimed to do 100B+ a day. They published stats about their volume as well as some other exchanges here: https://ftx.com/volume-monitor.

It's stale since the collapse but they're claiming 16bn, and usually were claiming 5-10bn a day in the last month. Give some fudge factor for various traders at various tiers and this backs out to 1m a day order of magnitude.

Not covering a multi billion dollar hole with that anytime soon.

WRT spend as much time as possible, I see that in Youtube videos, we (or "the internet") are entering the era of "filler" as the dominant concept.

We were in the era of "social" a decade ago, then had some years of "notifications" as a spammy parasocial interaction, and now we're entering the era of "filler".

Its an open debate how "filler" relates to genres such as legacy TV morning variety "news" shows that are mostly press releases for brick and mortar retail intermixed with a rotation of lasagna recipes, vs filler as in some talented charismatic youtubers can take a concept that a talented speaker skilled in brevity could express crystal clearly in perhaps two minutes and stretch that out to fifteen minutes of ad revenue filler.

We're entering an era of rapidly thinning information density. Kind of like the inflation phase of Big Bang theory.

>The US did impose rationing and did impose strong government control of production.

This is certainly true. Comparatively though, rationing in the U.S was nowhere near as bad as it was even in Britain, never mind the Reich, any other European country or much less the Soviet Union and Japan. These latter two placed millions of their people on near starvation rations and imposed extreme cutbacks in even the most basic civilian "luxury" goods. The Nazis were remarkably consistent about feeding their own people well (though with steadily decreasing food quality) but they pulled this off by literally starving vast other areas of Europe.

One of the books I recommend in a reply further down "The taste of war" goes into deep, carefully referenced detail on the food rationing by country, and even with their cutbacks, Americans had it incredibly better than any other country involved in the war, by far. It truly was quite impressive.

I don't really have much to add except to agree since plenty of others are offended.

The Spectator used to be a respectable right wing publication. Since Brexit and Bojo, it's gone crazy. It's taken the same break from reality we've seen elsewhere in the far right, where people would rather spend time fighting a culture war that is not happening (except where they are making it...) than address any real economic or political issues...
In Europe it is also likely the plastic packaging industry that's mostly paying for it as its cheaper for them to make it seem like plastic packaging can be recycled, that it is to get regulated to not cause so much waste.

A more generous reading would be that the industry is being incentivized to make their product easier to recycle by making them pay for the recycling, but it depends a bit on how cynical you are :).

The result though is that at least in my area the recycles pay so much for plastic waste that the municipality could lower the garbage disposal taxes as they were making money like with paper.
Pretty sure both those authors wrote similar concepts, with the same
creepy conclusions of taking the technology to a limit.

It came up in an acoustics class once. I said that sound never really
dies. It just bounces around until it becomes thermal energy, thus
warming the room a little as a prelude to joking about professors
talking hot air.

A student asked whether, one could recover sound from reverberations
that had fallen below RT60? Could you listen back in time to
conversations that had happened hours ago?

Obviously entropy can't be put back in the box with the technology we
have now, but it makes you wonder.

Two things have since made me revise the question. One is recovery of
sound from video images. The other was an archaeological recovery of
sounds from a ceramic vase spun on potters wheel many centuries ago.
Sorry but the references for both escape me atm.
> Minimum size of 3.

3 is risky. One person has a baby and goes on leave, or gets long Covid, or is poached by a FAANG. Until a substitute can be found, the team of 3 turns into a rather overwhelmed team of 2, each spending 50% time on call. And if either of them goes on vacation to recharge, the remaining one is left with an unbearable workload.
