Above the fold, self promotion... below the fold, a popup to sign up without reading it. I can't be bothered to click out. I can be bothered however to write this comment to complain to the state of the SEOfication of all content. Maybe it's good, but I'm immediately skeptical.
Counter-strike was massively popular even a decade before it had skins.
We've built a globally scattered team, so even though we work with tons of people, profit margins are roughly 70%. Cashflow is pretty consistent and terms payment terms are net 30, so no financing is required.

I'm guessing the best way to sell it is to go for a big enterprise company who is looking to hire a lot, and want to reduce their average cost. Any suggestions on how to go about that?

I think that's more probable than to sell to other firms wanting to scale.
Thesis of the article:

> Progress is our escape from the status quo of suffering, our ejection seat from history—it is the less common story of how our inventions and institutions reduce disease, poverty, pain, and violence while expanding freedom, happiness, and empowerment.

> It’s a story that has almost ground to a halt in the United States.

> ...

> What went wrong? There are many answers, but one is that we have become too enthralled by the eureka myth and, more to the point, too inattentive to all the things that must follow a eureka moment.

The article talks about the follow-through after great discoveries and makes the assertion that adoption of new inventions, discoveries, and techniques, even those developed in the U.S., has stagnated in the U.S. Further, that it is the adoption of the new, not just its discovery, that marks advance in the sense of being better off (longer life-expectancy, better health, better living conditions).

Government and politicians provide the follow-through to eradicate Smallpox. Government "cleared the road" for the fastest delivery and wide deployment of new vaccines ever. Public-private partnerships of that sort could move mountains (like curing cancer, or delivering wind and solar energy supplements to the grid).
I think it's just like thorium molten salt reactors. It's a new awesomer kind of nuclear energy that doesn't have any of the baggage of fission!

Certainly, fusion does have the big advantage that it makes far fewer Curies of radioactive material per kWh as it operates. That has been the main driver of nuclear fission safety and waste issues.

On the other hand, there are good arguments suggesting that conventional fission has been reasonably good at containing and controlling the radiation, such that it's among the safest and cleanest forms of energy known already. But the PR issue is a hard one, and people don't think like actuaries.

Back in the day my phone carrier in Argentina would send me ultra-high-priority alerts with ads several times a day.

A lot of people in this thread are understandably okay with good carriers doing this for good reasons, but it's very easy to abuse if there aren't strong enough communication laws. From the amount of spam I got when I lived there, I'm surprised this is not happening in America.

Yep. I even went as far as getting my real estate license.

Getting a peek into another field makes you quickly appreciate how good we have it and I readjusted to try to focus on what I really love doing in this field.

It turns out, I like teaching and helping people work together more effectively so I've gotten into consulting over the last couple of years. Really enjoying it so far too. I get to work with a wide variety of people, look into how companies are operating to diagnose pain points, areas of inefficiency between teams, bottlenecks and help to solve them. I help with DMARC deployments because so many companies still haven't rolled that out properly yet. I assist dev teams with fixing application and database performance issues too. If asked I also teach official training courses on Gitlab or Scaled Agile Framework.

Essentially, I help with the areas where I have a deep amount of experience and try to make sure people at the company know how to make sure the problems don't come back long term. For somebody like me who deep dives into everything before moving onto the next problem, it's nice to be able to share with more people.

I get the most enjoyment from helping to improve the management structure for developers though. In many cases it's very unbalanced.
I imagine anyone expanding into a new state expects title issues and budgets for goodwill for the first few customers.
I still think drivers should remotely pilot cars with about half the mass of the current ones that wouldn't be designed around protecting an occupant. They could go 300+ mph and show us a new frontier in human driving skill. All the "too dangerous" racing technologies would be allowed, and the track would have loops and crazy features like a video game. There would be no restrictions on car design aside from size, weight, a 360 3d camera array, and a standard telemetry interface.
Interesting, I just tested that here as well and sure enough my HE peer had no issues going to Google, but my Cogent peer didn't. This isn't an ipv6 is broken problem this is a Cogent is broken problem.
Database drivers: Naughty or nice?
Unsure if this would scale up but as others have mentioned for large ships the operation is very sensitive to cost. Fuel efficiency is weighed against current fuel cost, cost to design a technology into a new ship or retrofit, maintenance, etc. That said, since fuel rates are high and emissions regulation is set to come into effect soon [1] you'll likely see waves of shipbuilders adopt fuel-saving technology.

A few problems that might show up with this type of prop/"screw" on a large ship:

- Ship propulsion uses a fairly large-diameter prop and runs at very low RPM (~100rpm vs 1000-6000rpm) compared to smaller planing vessels. The Sharrow prop advertises decreased cavitation at high speeds but this effect may be diminished at low RPM.

That said, cavitation is a different beast for ships than for recreational boats: In the recreational market few boat owners are concerned about propeller efficiency loss due to cavitation -- Concern is mostly around noise and vibration. In contrast, ships are very concerned with fuel and maintenance cost, so if the Sharrow blade successfully reduces both of these it may be helpful.

- Seems like they're currently machining these on a 5-axis CNC out of blocks of raw material which won't scale to larger sizes. The complicated shape may not lend itself as well to casting, and even if they casted the shape it would need to be finished and this would require expensive equipment.

- Might be more difficult for third-party repair [2] which is done manually or with 3-axis machines.

Generally the commercial maritime market is much slower to adopt new technology than recreational, and also much smaller by volume, so it may make sense for Sharrow to continue serving small outboard boats because margins + sale volume is much higher.

Engineers weren’t paid until 2000. Early in my career, I switched to marketing (1983). The problem was, it was repetitive, and ultimately boring. But it paid the bills way better 1983-2000. I switched back to engineering in 2000. It had the same EXACT difficulties as in 1983: assholes who felt contempt for “the details” and were invited to meetings you weren’t. It was actually even worse! Now the assholes were 20 years younger than me and had the same misapprehensions about people I had back then. Yet it didn’t really bother me. Houses were paid off and I could screw around with LabView, Solidworks, and LTSpice all at once and get paid for it.
>"but that anyone at all is tailoring people"

From what I know "untailored" people do not develop into anything meaningful on their own.
The author of this article doesn't seem very keen on citations.

I'd also like to know a related answer: are these two diameters the same because they're derived from the same model? Isn't the mass in the universe estimated from the observed diameter? Then take that mass and calculate the diameter of the hypothetical black hole with that mass, if the physics is the same, would that result back at the observed diameter of the universe? Or are these two completely separate models that just so happen to be similar and genuinely point to an insight?
Thank you! Usually the only feedback that I get on the README is that it is "too long", so I really appreciate this comment. :)
Yeah, Starcraft II is as competitive or more than the original Starcraft. The introduction of the ladder means more players play SCII competitively, and the pro scene is just as good, if not better. Here's the commentary for the final match of the last in person tournament in SC2 [0].

Starcraft II did a lot of things to make controlling the game easier (Reassignable hotkeys, being able to select larger armies, screen position hotkeys). This made it easier for new players to get into the game, but the pro players were just able to find new ways to use their precious attention and keyboard presses and the skill ceiling remains as high as brood war.

The cow farmers of Bavaria (and Austria, and probably some other places too) had this figured out centuries ago already: they simply built the cow stable back-to-back with the main farm house, so no need to go outdoors to look after the cows and other livestock anymore. But you still have to get up in the wee hours of morning of course...

Well, yes ?

Try to get to the end zone, if you do you score 6 points. You have 4 attempts to move forward 10 yards, if you don't, the ball goes to the other team. If you have more points, you win.

That's it, that's all you need to know to watch it and enjoy it. Sure, there's more ways of scoring and the details of each position, the routes they are running and play-calling in general is interesting, but it's not needed to just watch the game.

Yeah. Their proxy is parsing the HTML and stripping it / modifying it, so they're obviously unzipping the responses on their servers. Create the honeypot endpoint, and if you get a request from that endpoint, reply with a zip bomb.

Then, write a little script that repeatedly hits that honeypot URL. I quite like this idea.
The main concern seems to be around bot accounts spamming comment threads?

If so, it seems as though account-level signal/noise weighting could help. New accounts and ones that are consistently downvoted could be given less prominence in the UI (until upvoted, of course).

The idea is similar to the current behavior of requiring a minimum karma count before allowing users to flag/downvote.
Makes me wonder if you could switch serving content based on the URLs. So they redirect back to your website. Or display images marked as copyrighted.
Maybe they're also proxying URLs like the HTML verification files that search engines have you upload to claim the domain as your own?

You may be able to claim their domain out from under them and then mess with search settings (e.g. In Google Search Console you can remove URLs from search results).
Only problem is whenever I see a job in a domain that interests me, the only people they seem to hire are new grads from university pipelines or established domain experts that have been at it for a decade or two.

Well, there is hydro, wind and photovoltaic. And in the fusion field there are startups working on aneutronic fusion, which can generate power directly from charged particles. LPPFusion is one that seemed promising a few years ago, but unfortunately less so now.
I think the main difference is safety. Simplifying / IAMAPhysicist, but you can't get a runaway chain reaction with Fusion, and the reaction tends to just burn itself out if you shut it off.

That being said, fission is already pretty darn safe. But the public perception of it is not good.
Mastodon uses the open protocol ActivityPub, which means you can access posts like these from many other clients than the servers web interface. If you dislike JavaScript, may I suggest 'Brutaldon' [0]? There is also the cli/tui client 'toot' [1], if you prefer to live in the terminal.

Using a client to access posts in the fediverse network do require that you have an account somewhere in the fediverse, though.

Even with such a breakthrough, cost-effective fusion would still probably be 50 years away. Why would you assume it to be super cheap right out the house?
Harvesting cannabis flower involves cutting the individual buds off the stems, cutting off leaves, etc. Close handling. Of generally annoyingly sticky stuff, with sharp scissors.

There are often many minor cuts and nicks and scrapes on the fingers in the process. They rarely tend to be serious, but now I think about it they're not as annoying as papercuts.

Suspect the mechanical "wound glue" action of the resins is more important immediately; and the fact that they pretty much only wash off with alcohol means the wounds are disinfected then too.
Even so I wonder if for you the farm will come out on top when a coworker tells you "shards are the secret ingredient in the web scale sauce".

I’m a pretty regular esports watcher (Apex Legends is my game of choice) and I thoroughly enjoy it. But it’s also clear that it’s a terrible investment at the moment. Seems the only ones making money are game companies themselves (obviously), the rare org like TSM, and pros that have large Twitch and YouTube followings.
I did, took a year off to backpack around the world. Didn’t think I’d come back to tech but I did with much renewed interest.
Thanks, every comment thread would/should have that posted about once for every five comments made. More people should read it including the person I was addressing who routinely pollutes this place. Perhaps you should share it with them.
Only if you limit yourself to using solar generated with Minnesota's state borders.

Solar, Wind, HVDC transmission lines, short-term battery storage get us most of the way there, and is all on the process of being built out now. Medium term storage is still up in the air (flow batteries? compressed air?). Long term storage looks like hydrogen or natural gas with carbon capture. All these things seem more achievable than fusion in the next few decades.
People are a variety of ways. A healthy culture can accommodate that variety within reason. I reckon we’ve become a little too focused on agreeableness as a culture. Not that you should strive to be an asshole. But some people are just naturally blunt and abrasive. And that’s okay. A lot of the trouble is in people’s reactions to that, since thick skin seems to be on long-term decline too.

I’m not sure we’re disagreeing about anything. What you wrote is good advice to someone who’s too argumentative.

absolutely not what I said, if you want me to engage you seriously please read back over and avoid the strawman.
Oh, absolutely. Once we "fix" dying of the normal reasons, I'm sure we'll start dying of all sorts of weird things. It just seems suspect to put a number like 150-170 on anything right now.
You mean as opposed to letting it sleep/hibernate?

A computer running (and not sleeping) while you're asleep or at work is a waste of energy.
Even the simple Schwarzschild solution for a non-rotating and non-charged black hole has a region of "asymptotically flat spacetime" on the "other side" of the black hole that looks like another universe. It doesn't seem like you could get there though.

You can find paths that lead from our universe to those other universes in a rotating black hole but it is not so clear you can survive the trip. The inner event horizon and the "ring singularity" inside the Kerr solution are believed to be unstable classically and thus not really there. (Personally I think the classical black hole is probably entirely wrong on the other side of the event horizon.)

Andrei Linde wrote a paper on "chaotic inflation" that suggested the inflation process is driven by topological defects that have a very high energy density such as magnetic monopoles, cosmic strings, and domain walls. Inflation is ignited by the presence of such things and the result is that you don't see any in our universe, if you are lucky you might find some evidence that one of those is near our universe that is imprinted in the cosmic microwave background.

One could imagine that in the violent processes inside a black hole that inflation would activate and create the space for a new universe or universes. I'd imagine you'd have to go through that inflating region to get there and I think that would be both impossible and deadly.

That joins many insinuations that there are surfaces around black holes (e.g. "firewalls") that will kill you if the spaghettification doesn't.

If you think black holes spawn new universes you might imagine our own universe was "naturally selected" to produce lots of big start that make black holes, which is an interesting twist on anthropic arguments.
I'd expect that sentence to come from a hard sci-fi novel about weapons on an orbital platform or something. Instead, it's a pinky-sized bit of tech working to send cat videos to our phones. Amazing!

NIF is still doing fusion research? I thought they pivoted to materials research in support of stockpile stewardship years ago.
Are you possibly projecting...? I have so many options in tech that I've never had to consider anything even close to ad targeting and/or social media work.
With GH actions you got everything. Conditionals, proper expressions, and goto refs, which allows loops.
That depends what you use to measure.

At first I used RES column from FreeBSD top(1) command.

Here are results for the same desktop environments from other tools:

| htop(1) | conky(1) | freecolor(1)
------------+---------+----------+-------------
FreeBSD | 112 MB | - - | 157 MB
Openbox | 237 MB | 460 MB | 382 MB
MATE | 508 MB | 778 MB | 788 MB
XFCE | 533 MB | 794 MB | 829 MB
helloSystem | 585 MB | - - | 830 MB
GNOME | 625 MB | 990 MB | 1000 MB
KDE/Plasma | 730 MB | 1659 MB | 1167 MB

This table above is also at the end of the blog post.

So as You see depending on the used tool you may get REALLY different results while having the same components started.

Regards.
Just because you understand the impact of fusion on carbon emissions, does not mean

>It’s unnecessary greenwashing hyperbole

OP's question provides evidence that not all people understand the carbon benefits of this technology.
As someone who played a lot of Starcraft back during SC1/SC2 Wings of Liberty days, Starcraft was a game I loved watching other people play - mostly due to fog of war knowledge asymmetry in the audience.

If I was someone who didn't play video games, I think Rocket League would be the title I would be interested in watching others play.

I just can't fathom any non-gamer ever finding Call of Duty, League of Legends, DOTA, Overwatch, Valorant, etc. interesting enough to watch. I played many of those same games at some point and even I don't find them interesting to watch. First person shooters in particular seem so confining in terms of spectating.
"located at a depth of about 1,350 feet (411 meters) and was captured in sonar imagery...The imagery revealed the ship measured 33 feet (10 meters) long."

FWIW: webtoons are huge in Thailand, I don't know where the content comes from (Korea, probably?) but it's a format that lends itself really well to translation.

I would love to see more crazy, experimental, weird stuff on webtoons that might diverge completely from the anime/manga/game/illustration aesthetic. The form itself is so promising!
I honestly wonder if large scale population of the northern areas is feasible without carbon fuels. Historically chopped wood was used to heat northern homes and camps, later coal and oil and I guess now to some extent electricity, but as you say, renewable energy doesn't apply there. If places like Minnesota are a net negative for green/renewable energy, their costs may be much higher to offset generation in more favorable climates.
Much of it goes to enrich contractors. Lockheed Martin as a usual suspect here, for example.

Note really an issue, I've never had one. Banking is mostly on paper, sometimes I phone them up. Not bothered with messengers, travelling in the EU, there was always a paper-form alternative for that. The main upside is the looks of disbelief (and occasional panic) when you respond "don't have one" to a demand for mobile number :-)
Depends strongly on the drive, with a lot of variance, and seedy vendors.

You can get effectively NVME over USB. Now, the question is, are you using a 5 or 10mbps (or higher with TB/usb4) connection, supported cable, is there a hub in the way restricting traffic, etc.

With most computers, the front ports may or may not be the fastest ports. If there's a front panel USB C connection, that's usually your best bet, then red/yellow ports in the back... Of course, it could be an older device/interface, etc.

I kind of hope that with USB5, they standardize on labelling/cable requirements as well as reduce the "optional" bits to at least fall under one of 2-3 umbrella sets of requirements. It's a bit of a mess.

All of that said, I have nvme drives over USB that are at least as fast as a SATA connected drive, and generally much faster depending on the port used.
These have also been available on Amazon for a little while - I think there are at least 6 now and they have all been great.
