"More tools" is not necessarily a good thing. Music, as any art form, thrives on limitations. And without complaint.

"The Blues" is a very limited form, yet it has provided about a century of wonderful creative music.

If I'm writing a string quartet, I don't complain that a particular note can't be sung by a gospel choir instead of a cello. Just as a painter doesn't complain about the canvas being 2 dimensional.

Maybe the one thing that made it click for me was realizing that a branch is merely a label to a git commit hash. There can be local and remote ones and the local is aware of the remote (e.g. git pull). Checking out a branch makes it current, with filesystem matching the branch head's git fileset state. New commits get added and the branch label moved to the new head.

That and a git tree view GUI or "git log --oneline --graph" and "git reflog" to undo stuff. Also, you're better off committing temp stuff on the current local branch with message "WIP" than using "git stash".

> Right, but renewables need storage that we can charge and discharge daily, not seasonal storage

...which it can do for the full 2GW rated power without discharging water.

Every time load shifting or diurnal storage is mentioned, there are cries of 'but what abuurt the 3 day energy drought you need four days'

Now when presented with a system that is designed precisely for this use case you start whining.

Make up your mind.

> What happens when the renewables produce so much energy that it's saturating demand? You can't capture that surplus energy with just a dam, you need a bidirectional connection.

In addition to this you can use Tumut 2 as your output, then when there is surplus energy store it via snowy 2. This will take a few weeks, but it is a way to fill the entire 350GWh with curtailed renewable energy if that is what you really want. Some water is lost in a full emptying or when changing from diurnal capability to 5 day capability, but some water must go downstream anyway or blowering cannot work. The full 7 days can be cycled a few times a year, which is what it was built for.

Even without that, you've absorbed 2GW with your hydro curtailment and your 2GW storage facility is storing 2GW for a week exactly as advertised. Focusing on a technicality that doesn't come up is bad faith. You can't cycle 350GWh with 2GW in a day. Can you not divide?

> The EU GDPR is probably the best example

And that's precisely why there is a trade war in between the US and Eu since early 2005. Because the Eu started making up its own rules and standards. TTIP, ACTA, PIPA were all attempts by the US to bring the Eu to heel. All failed. And voila - there is a proxy war that deprives the Eu out of cheap oil and gas, leading to literal deindustrialization of the Eu.

Author of Hacking Health for O'Reilly, managed operating companies for hundreds of hospital facilities, etc...

One widely under realized aspect to healthcare costs in the US (there are many) is the very high number of ICU beds per capita, ~35 per 100,000 people. While it gets a little complicated to compare apples to apples, a reasonable person could say we have 30% more than germany which is the only european contry that is close and double to triple most other nations we are typically compared against like the UK and Canada.

ICU beds are extremely expensive to both build and operate. Also for the lay person the term "bed" has a specific regulatory meaning and does not refer to just the physical existence of the room and bed but means that it is operational with highly regulated amounts of staffing, services and equipment. Each "bed" has costs in the millions to build and equip and operating costs are typically in the neighbood of $10k to $40k per "bed" per day, occupied or not, a large portion being labor.

In 2012 I was running a Minecraft server for a friend and wrote an initscript to handle it as a daemon, do backups, etc. I threw it up on GitHub and didn't expect anyone to see it. A couple of years later I learnt it was used on commercial Minecraft hosts. Was pretty cool to have built something that other people could tangibly use as income.

I also ratelimited logging in Linux cifs. Now a spammy log message can't hang or panic a client system.

That's probably technically and commercially more impactful but I like my Minecraft script more personally.

I am a big believer in federated platforms, but I feel this article misunderstands them in fundamental ways. Particularly here:

> federated platforms—networking environments enabled by communally—agreed upon standards of computing and norms. These technologies can give users more control over their platform experience.

My server is not governed by any communally-agreed-upon norms, nor does it give users control. It's governed by _my_ norms, period (and users can either agree with me or find a different server). Incidentally these norms coincide well with communal norms because I'm a reasonably "well-adjusted" individual, but there's a reason I whitelist instead of using Fediblock: Fediblock is somebody else's list of servers that they personally find offensive. Looking at the list it seems to coincide well with what I find offensive, but I want to be the sole arbiter of who I give time to, and I think therein lies the real power of federated platforms: communities of consensus grow/split/merge/etc completely organically and in sync with the memetic evolution of the node administrators.

If you believe the earth is flat, go nuts. Or if you don't but you want to share the proof of why they're wrong, you can do that too. Or perhaps you don't want to have them in your life at all. You can have all of these experiences equally well on a federated platform. People can form the communities they want to be in and be responsible for the growth of those communities in ways that are impossible with a corporation calling the shots.

...or a centralized platform in general, regardless of commercialization. A friend and I were discussing the possibility of running a federated platform for our country. It sounded like a cool idea at first, but as I thought about it I realized: there are neo-Nazis in my country. I don't want to engage with them at all. But I do believe that if we ran a national platform that as citizens they would be entitled to participate, however stupid their views. Therefore I abandoned the project. I may believe they're entitled to public services as human beings and citizens, but I don't want to give them a platform to spread their message. As long as my server is governed purely by my personal norms, I can in good conscience refuse service to them with no other justification than I don't want to and it's my server.

That is a matter of life and death. False negative? You put your survival at risk and can unknowingly spread a deadly virus to others, causing harm not just to you but others. False positive? You go on medications with very, very serious side effects on the theory that it will kill you to not do so. Either outcome is horrible violence to innocent lives; if you "test" a thousand people this way you probably already did more violence than the guy who shoves one person on the subway as an isolated incident.

The strange thing is the symmetry. Why these prefixes cover multipliers from 10^-30 to 10^30? Why not 10^-20 to 10^40? Where the symmetry comes from?

Is it just people think that symmetry is a good thing, and for example they added 10^-30 despite the lack of demand? Or there is some deeper reason? Or it is more like one of those coincidences?

Have you ever done a questionnaire that has terrible questions which are just so open like "What tool is important to you?" asking this to an engineer is a very open ended question - typically the quality of responses gathered for bad questionnaires are abysmal.

Therefore, answers/responses can only be of a good quality if the question is.

Next, you may ask a question which in your eyes is simple but in the eyes of someone who understands more is actually complex and has many factors.

Ask two people how does a car move forward? One may say I press the gas, the other may say pressure increases in the engine which moves blah etc giving power to the wheels etc. Both answers are correct, no one specified the amount of detail nor the success criteria of the response. No one knows what you're thinking nor what you want, try to be considerate just because you think others aren't communicating clearly doesn't mean they aren't.

It's possible that you don't understand what is being said and therefore attribute that to bad communication but in fact it's a deficiency on your side.

If someone says someone is bad at communication sometimes they simply don't understand what's said and they want a simplified answer. That doesn't mean the person responding is bad at communication.

As others have mentioned, in tech nothing is black and white if you ask me how can we fix X: immediately I would give you a couple options; maybe a hacky workaround and a long term fix giving an explanation of the advantages and disadvantages so you can take an informed decision. None of this is bad communication it's actually portraying a sense of ownership and ethics.

Simple answers to questions may mean the wrong solution is chosen.

There's no such thing as a simple answer to a complex question.

Finally, communication is not code, like any form of communication back and forth has to take place and this is healthy and normal. If you feel it's tiring then you may want everything spoon fed.

I've had people repeat everything I've said with different pronouns to confirm their understanding - in my eyes they had a deficiency in understanding because they are literally repeating what I'm saying over instant messaging.

Take a step back and put yourself in their shoes and be sympathetic and compassionate.

"One weapon that nuclear planners want to make from recycled parts and designs is the W93 — billed as the first new warhead for the nation’s nuclear arsenal since the Cold War."

...

“It’s important to keep these parts around,” said Franklin C. Miller, a nuclear expert who held federal posts for three decades before leaving government service in 2005. “If we had the manufacturing complex we once did, we wouldn’t have to rely on the old parts.” He added that other nuclear powers can and do make new atomic parts.

---------------

If you read "The Bomb", by Fred Kaplan, there is a telling scene in which Trump was briefed by the Pentagon on the state of the U.S.'s nuclear arsenal. Trump was shown a chart that showed the dramatic drop in the total number of nuclear warheads in the arsenals of both the U.S. and Russia. The U.S. has peaked at over 32,000 in 1969, but was down to about 2,500 in the active arsenal. This was presented as a good thing. The U.S.'s warhead count had dropped dramatically because they had phased out tactical warheads intended for battlefield use. Such warheads were hazardous to maintain and the military had eagerly retired them once they were obviated by more modern conventional weapons that could do the same job with less collateral damage. The nuclear warheads that the U.S. still had were tailored to meet modern requirements and were far better suited to that task than 1969's arsenal would have been.

Trump didn't understand that being able to do the same job with fewer nuclear warheads was good, and told the group that he wanted more warheads. He wanted the 32,000 the U.S. had once had and was not satisfied by arguments to the contrary. This prompted secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, to comment that Trump was a "fucking moron" shortly after he left the meeting. Trump would become obsessed with this number and repeatedly ask for more nuclear warheads to be made on several later occasions.

The B83 had the largest yield of any nuclear weapon in the U.S.'s arsenal, but it's an obsolete weapon. If the U.S. gets into a hot nuclear war, they're unlikely to rely on bomber planes with gravity bombs such as the B83, like they would have in the 60's. Such a war would likely be over before they even got to their targets. If the U.S. is retiring the B83 now, it's because they can destroy the same targets in far less time with other weapon systems.

Dismantling weapons such as the B83 does reduce the risk of accidents, theft, and loss, even if the components go onto shelves for potential reuse in new weapons. However, one should not make the mistake of thinking that the U.S. is, in any way, losing capabilities here. Let's just hope those capabilities are never actually tested.

I frequently see this type of comment, and I like to imagine what if people with this attitude won the debate that was happening 300 yeara ago.

300 years ago, thousands of people in London were dying of cholera and the city was debating development of a sewage system.

They would argue that its not proven that shit in the streets causes disease, and a system of this size was never tested, and how much would it cost?

If they won the argument back then, we'd still be shitting in pots and throwing it out of the window.

Todays debate is literally the same problem, it's about cleaning up and about not tossing a different kind of waste out into the environment irresponsibly.

People with this attitude are never the ones i proving the human condition.
135 months, for defrauding and conspiring to defraud 3 of the largest investors of $140MM.

If we follow this sentencing as a guide for future cases brought against SBF & co, should we expect 1 mo per $MM defrauded, so 8,000 months, or 666 years(!) ?
Or should we look at it like 45mo per investor defrauded, so 45,000,000 months?

Either way, I think this is probably a fair sentence and more than I expected. 11.25 years isn't trivial, and as long as there isn't some early release or she wins a more lenient sentence on appeal, it's going to be a painful 11 years, especially since she's about to be a new mother.

Both wrong. Labor costs are high in Europe too, and people have as much money to spend. Also, if that was the reason, American patients would just buy the European products since they where cheaper. Also the drugs sold on the two sides of the Canadian border are produced the same places but sell at much lower prices outside the US.

The reason the North American market is so expensive is because of convoluted and honestly just shady practices of middlemen who negotiate on behalf of insurances companies and pharmacies but have a vested interest in pushing the list price as high as possible, but then demanding an insane rebate against those high list prices. During the congressional hearings it was stated that Eli Lilly paid something like 68% in rebates in order to get onto the insurance coverage plans. Also, even though their prices where rising year after year, they took back less and less after rebates where figured in. That means that whenever Eli Lilly sells 100$ worth of insulin, 22$ goes towards research and development, clinical trials, branding, marketing, production and distribution, and then 68$ goes to the pharmacy benefits managers who kick it back to the insurance companies, who then go to their customers and demand a copay as a percentage of the 100$ potentially not even needing to cover anything and just making bank on the drug sales, while charging their customers for the privilege of taking their money.
