People "don't want them" because of fear peddling by people saying exactly what you're saying right now. Of course you want us to "move on" because that means the asinine state of affairs people like you have created will not be challenged.

Waste that is "highly radioactive" cannot be "long lasting" because physics just doesn't work that way. Anything atomically spicy will have decayed into less spicy things in decades, typically a handful, dozens at worst, resulting in waste that's not really any more harmful than heavy metal laced this or that that humanity already deals with in the waste streams of other industrial processes. The fact that nuclear waste decays at all is really a godsend. You can literally just ignore the problem until it goes away. This isn't the case for heavy metals and some other types of pollutants. You can NEVER build a house on an unmitigated lead mine.

Furthermore, the actual physical amounts of waste produced by nuclear are tiny compared to other things. Yucca mountain was gonna store waste for literally the entire nation.
Especially ejecting someone from e.g. their email if the payment isn't email related.
Controlling the shares through the non-profit means nothing. He has control even without those shares, and the only difference is that they're now permanently gone as an option to sell and profit off of. You still call this "controlling your wealth" but it's literally the opposite - that $6 billion is now extremely limited in what it can do now in terms of selfish goals.
what does that gotta do with what he said?
You can disagree all you want. Doesn't change the facts about what happened. Stop lying and trying to defend Elon.
There are no real alternatives. Glass has mostly the same bonding issues but is more expensive and heavier. Putting acrylic or glass panels in a steel frame dramatically reduces the probability of failure but you lose the wow factor of having a single sheet of transparent material.

I don't think any installation of this size can be truly safe. It has to be constructed in-situ being too large to transport so you would have to come up with some way of pressure testing the tank in-situ.
Ah, so Tiberium is technically possible...
I don't know if shameless plugs are allowed here (sorry if not!), but I have an open source project for Mac that's aimed at exactly this problem. Every ~10 minutes (configurable), it pops up an unobtrusive prompt to ask you what you're working on right now. It then has some basic reporting and aggregating functionality. It's not specifically targeted for consulting / invoicing (I made it because I often ended my day wondering what the heck I'd done all day), and it's sometimes a tad rough around the edges, but it could help. https://whatdid.yuvalshavit.com / https://github.com/yshavit/whatdid

TextWrangler was my goto before Atom and I do prefer the look of the latter.
I'm not against government investment in energy production, I just don't think it solves the problem of nuclear overregulation.
If he had a dozen kids each getting the maximum allowed salary (~$300k) for 30 years, that's still only 1.8% of the total contribution.
As someone who has constructed a couple, I can attest that they can be a pain in the ass. They do get more efficient as you build larger ones, and they can pack down quite well (the covering for a soft shell dome is usually larger than the structure components). They are also wickedly strong once set up.
So it sounds like you'd need something on both sides of the "glass" kind of like this aquarium magnet but much larger/complicated: https://www.amazon.com/JRing-Aquarium-Cleaner-Aquariums-Clea... and slowly move it around the whole tank, repeatedly scanning as it goes.

So I'm going to put it in the "theoretically possible but nobody will do it" category for now. ;)
I haven't heard that. I can see two perspectives:

1. If a chargeback is issued, that means the company messed up massively and they should investigate, not ban the user

2. Some people fraudulently issue chargebacks and we assume our support would solve all legitimate issues, therefore it's a ban.

Probably the answer is to use risk signals about users to inform an investigation.
BOFH is older than the Register.

"The BOFH stories were originally posted in 1992 to Usenet..."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bastard_Operator_From_Hell

"The Register was founded in London as an email newsletter called Chip Connection. In 1998 The Register became a daily online news source."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Register
Their RSS feed lists a contact email address: https://notes.weissig.me/index.xml
An understanding of Henry Ford as a virulent anti-semite makes sense here as well.
Heck yeah I'd sign up for that! Honestly, this is the kind of work that can sustain an entire consulting firm.

- It's specialized, so you can charge more for it. And I mean come on, we're saving you millions of dollars. I can charge you a LOT and everyone still wins.

- It's repetitive, so you can train people to do it and then start earning margins as they replicate the process across the organization.

- It's even fulfilling. Yeah, I said it. Would you rather go work on another to-do app in [pick an obscure fruit or animal]-framework for your blog? Count me out of _that_ crap. Any Oracle DB you work on in the wild is going to have an impact on thousands of people--a positive one if you do your job well.
Yes, this is true. I never knew doing a chargeback against the Google Store would get your email account banned.

Google can do what it wants, I just wanted to let people know so they think twice before doing a chargeback against Google.
How much software does your grocery store needs? Don't you think there will be a limit to that?

If cost vs revenue allows for more developers, yes, you can see the happy path. No wonder you observed this at the start of the software revolution. The app stores are already overcrowded.

It's not so much his opinion as the law. Wholesalers have to improve the lit market price, or else route the order to the lit market. And it's clear how they're able to improve that price! The lit market has to serve institutional traders, who are much more expensive to trade against.
I'm generally an Apple hardware guy + console gamer so I don't have to have linux evenings like this. I used to enjoy the tinkering, but now I have Linux days in the Cloud and don't feel the need to be a computer therapist at night.

On the other hand I just bought an Intel NUC to turn into a NAS and am planning to try out NixOS. I think I'm going to have a lot of evenings..
Typical first world answer.

Most people in this world would rather spend the required 400usd needed to get a >=8GB computer on fixing their vehicule/home and pay their monthly bills.

This +environment damage limitations.

Apart from the software and system engineers I don't know a single person in my social circle that own a computer with more than 4GB of memory. And I am not living in a third world country.
Joyeaux Noel is a great movie, I watched it a couple years ago and was very impressed.

However, the review contains an unsubstantiated claim:

>[these soldiers] observed the birth of the savior in whose name they were killing each other.

Excuse me? World War I wasn't a religiously motivated war. This claim is absurd. At its core, WW1 was the result of a highly militant nationalism in several European nations. It all erupted upon the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, whereupon a complex system of treaties and plans caused the simultaneous mobilization and deployment of several nations' plans to conquer each other.
> The midi spec does not have provisions for microtonal music, nor does it have a provision for tuning.

Maybe I wasn't clear when I said "you can use MTS" and "support seems widespread".

It's not part of the base MIDI standard, but it is standardized.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIDI_tuning_standard

MTS is how you specify how MIDI notes are translated to frequencies, if you desire. You can use it to specify alternative scales, if you desire. The Wikipedia list of hardware and software which supports MTS seems very conservative IMO... my personal experience is that MTS support is reasonably common.
I've experienced this a few times before but I just ignored it because I never had access issues after waiting for the other process to finish writing. I wonder what the patch will really do, is it just a better error message or will SQLITE show only committed data?
I absolutely 100% guarantee a former Army field grade/general officer was in the room when they came up with that name.
Incredibly unlikely for any part of the structure to have been designed by an architect, most likely a highly specialist subcontractor design item. Our insurance would not cover it and it is illegal for architects to practice without insurance in many EU countries. The closest any architect would get to this is to go to a big fish tank company and say I want a big fish tank with diameter x and height y, can you do it and how much will it be...
"Everywhy" is available so you can originate that.
It's ripe for anti-trust action.
Most soft-drinks are acidic, and those seem to be consumed widely in the western diet.
A more-measured approach would be to just disable your ability to purchase/engage with purchased services/products.

Of course, Google is actively motivated to make forcing them to face consequences for mishandling product disputes punishable by complete ostracization from their "ecosystem".

On the one hand, this feels like a Surprised Pikachu moment: Of course a chargeback, the final legal method through which you have issues redressed, is a valid reason to deny you further access to a private company's platform.

On the other hand, I've been decoupling my life from Google's services for a reason, and I'm not the only one. Google has ceased providing products for my needs superior enough to the competition to merit putting up with the ever-looming threat of their hegemonic bullshit.
For the last couple of years, I have been using a combination of Clocking commands [0] in Emacs along with org-journal. It has been working well enough for me. Although, I had to send some patches to org-journal initially to suit my workflow.

Also, why did they postpone the unsealing of the still sealed records after the initial seal order expired? It's probably not much to chew on, but it definitely gives the appearance of "hiding" something untoward.
Awesome thanks! I will read that PDF
One of my first field service calls was similar - show up at a vessel in a godforsaken port way outside civilization, after a curt greeting from the C/E I head for our deck machinery to get to work, only to be told in no uncertain terms I am an effing greenhorn idiot - THOSE are not the winches with a problem, THOSE OVER THERE ARE.

I have a look at them, find they are not delivered by my then employer, and tell the chief as much.

"The fck do I care who made that piece of crap, you going to fix it or not?"

Turned out we had some electrical cabinets with our logo prominently displayed installed onto a bulkhead near the offending units. C/E had simply seen those, assumed they were the ones controlling the malfunctioning equipment, and had me flown halfway around the globe to fix them.

Luckily it was a rather simple problem to figure out, so I got it going again and somewhat snarkily stamped the service log with my employer's stamp.

As soon as it all worked again, the chief was all smiles and got me thoroughly sloshed on some liquor of dubious origins.

Good times.
Optimum sunlight exposure in terms of longest duration of exposure but I don’t think that would be the optimum in terms of charge generated.
Any information on which human languages it works with? Some languages like Thai can be challenging so I am wondering how general this is.
I disagree. There are enough facts already to conclude that powerful forces have tried to obfuscate facts surrounding the assassination. What that means is unclear because that’s how muddying the waters works. But only a fool would buy the official narrative. It may be very close to the truth but there are too many unexplainable aspects to not think there is more to what happened that the average person believes. That may be different now since people trust journalists and government less. It’s clear the let Oswald get shot. And the bullet? It’s a joke.
SHA-3 doesn't use addition: from a hardware implementation standpoint this is a huge, huge advantage because there's no carry propagation delay.

SHA-3 is by far and away the most elegant modern cryptographic hash algorithm.
Where is the money skimmed from the retail investor there? They beat the NBBO?
I've actually added this to the article, thank you again!
If you want to maximize for longevity, picking something that existed for 30 years like vi or emacs is probably your best bet.
Just thanks for sharing this!
People naturally have higher cholesterol as they age, so it may not be that the statin is less effective, but simply that your body is trying harder to increase its cholesterol.

I agree with your take and advice. This year I received a cholesterol tests with about 200 LDL-C (97th percentile). I panicked and switched to a whole food plant based diet and after about 10 days on the plant based diet I payed to have a lab tests my cholesterol again. My LDL-C dropped about 50 points in 10 days on a plant based diet. I eliminated almost all saturated fat and continue to limit them to about 13 grams per day (AHA recommendation, which is especially strict), and my cholesterol has continued to improve over the months.

I haven't started statins yet. My doctor doesn't want to start me on them with my current ~135 LDL-C. I'm going to see what more I can do with diet, exercise, weight loss, etc.
A chargeback can be initiated for any number of reasons.. It's good business practice to disable the account of someone claiming fraud, to prevent more fraud.. :D
Except that we have all kinds of other indicators of this phenomenon as well.
You, I like.
There is also the small matter that penalties for corruption are a little different in China.

We'll just tie up this loose end...with this other loose end! Brilliant!

I've become convinced that fusion power will never be commercially viable in the foreseeable future.

Considering:
Electrical energy from coal is, right now, barely competitive with renewables (which are still continuously improving!).
Thus, any fusion plant would basically need to provide thermal energy for less than the fuel cost in a coal plant + the cost of some burners.
That includes:

- Vacuum chamber

- Cryocooling

- Huge superconducting magnet assemblies

- Maintenance of all above in a very hostile environment (=> thanks to high neutron flux and thus potentially neutron-activated materials near the fusion chamber)

Right now, the only halfway credible pathway to a viable design is ITERs successor plant; everything else is pure vaporware/research project by design, which is obvious from the scale alone.

Nuclear fusion is IMO in the same spot as a steam-jet powered carriage (heating water, expelling it backwards out of a nozzle) would have been in 1500AD:

- Technically possible? Sure.

- Academically interesting? Kind of.

- Economically viable? Hell no (and no amount of progress has changed that since!).

I'm very open to having my mind changed, but not optimistic :(

But photovoltaics/wind/battery storage looks all super promising, so i guess there is that...
I'm very happy to see this work! The era of rendering vector graphics in GPU compute shaders is upon us, and I have no doubt it we'll start seeing these in production soon, as there's just such a performance advantage over CPU rendering, and I believe trying to run vector 2D graphics through the GPU rasterization pipeline doesn't quite work.

This code is simpler than Vello (the new name for piet-gpu), focused on vector path rendering. It's also a strong demo of the power of WebGPU, while also having a performant software-only pipeline. I definitely encourage people to take a closer look.
Many do, but I would just assume they ban the user from buying more items from the Google Store instead of banning his whole email account.
lol! Like some WeWork locations, they even had an office swimming pool!

You should be that person who is not reachable. You need to set boundaries. Otherwise you are going to fall in the classic catch-22 of talking about the work and getting none of that work done. That's fine if you see your job as a paycheck. It's not so fine if you actually find meaning in your work and want to make forward progress.
The skill of John Hardi (three awards: one winner and two dishonorable) are not to be denied.
As someone who eats about 1-2oz of dark chocolate (usually 85%) per day, this is concerning. However I have found the dark chocolate to be a great stimulant, giving me motivation without anxiety the way caffeine does. Now I’m unsure what to do.
They got the 'cheap electric truck' marketing they needed, it was never available to buy for $40k anyway.
It is really very easy.

1. If you want equality then apply it to H1B itself. Why is it that you want equality when it comes to green cards that give people equal rights, but not when you want to bring them in to do work? Apply country caps for H1B visa and let’s see how that works. Equality for employment green cards but not for visas is not a system of equality.

2. Apply equality everywhere else as well, family immigration especially.

3. You could design a system that is more equal if you really wanted. You are quick to blame huge populations, but also ignore the fact that countries like India and China are almost as big as Europe. Take into account the size as well if you wanted equal representation.

Defining fair is not easy, but you can at least try.
Many people (including me) raised this issue internally at Google more than a decade ago now during the Google+ era. Vic Gundotra decided that not using your "real name" was a bannable offense despite the many legitimate concerns people brought up [1].

This was of course an automatic process and there were (completely predictably) false positives. This would kill your entire Google account, Gmail included.

I was one of many voices who argued that was completely stupid. The worst thing that should happen is a policy violation on a given service should terminate or suspend that service only. It should NEVER kill Gmail. Why? Because the end result is people will ultimately only use their Google account for Gmail.

That's what I have done since and what I recommend everyone else do. Never tie your Google account to any other Google product. You may well regret it.

It's wild to me that this is still the case. The issue isn't large enough for any executive to care. That means the decision will come down to a few stubborn individuals (probably a VP of PM) who are maintaining this position.

There's nothing you can buy from the Google Store that you can't get from Best Buy or Amazon and those will be infinitely more accountable.

To be frank, the quality of the "Experts" I've seen interviewed in these past two years alone spitting at best biased disinformation you can't really blame people for realizing how easily information can be manipulated. It's just too simple nowadays to find counter-proof "verified" examples of almost anything, including medical literature.

What should happen is for education institutions to step in and aid some sort of analytical and critical thinking from the young age, to learn the ability to fetch information safely

And what I mean about that is safe information isn't books=good, internet=bad. There's disinformation literature still to this day passed as institutional axioms.

Musk and Twitter is a really simple recent example of why this won't be possible, because asymmetrical information is power.
I've implemented SHA-3 and Keccak in hardware (FPGA) and software (CPU, GPU) countless times: there's zero scenario where this single byte change occurring before 24 rounds of massive permutation has any measurable effect on the security of this hash function.
I think it's because publishers have loosened up a bit on their requirements and self-publishing is easier than ever. Traditionally, publishers wouldn't really invest in putting out short books aside from some notable exceptions.
They don't have to be crazier, but you have to have enough out there to make people wonder what's what. Eventually people will lose all confidence in official sources --which seems to be happening slowly.
Step 1 - turn off all notifications, noise and badges. This will allow you to not be disturbed by interruptions.

Step 2 - if step 1 doesn’t work then shut slack down while working. Being reachable 100% of the time is insane. And the barrier for bugging is super low with Slack.

Step 3 - if 2,3 don’t work then use something like dispatch.do to prioritize all the junk and filter out all the noise.

Step 4 - it’s a you problem. Find a new job or seek professional help.
Isn't this a great way to motivate users to respond by setting up throw-away accounts, with disposable forwarding emails and Privacy.com-generated credit card numbers? True, this is a multi-step process, but it also seems like something which could be automated.
I'm always surprised when a commenter is blinded to seemingly obvious differences.

Nobody else has joined the "absolute free speech but only until it targets me specifically" club. They're still pointing at it as a bad thing.

People are rightly pointing out that literally just a few days ago Elon's entire mantra, the story for why he paid tens of Billions of dollars to buy twitter, was him moaning about bans and loudly proclaiming to anyone who would listen that he wouldn't do bans because "free speech".

And yet all of a sudden, when that absolute free speech is directed at himself, his narrative flips on its head and ban ban ban ban ban.

Well, the consequence of free speech absolutism is that people will broadcast your location. Gosh. Who ever could have predicted that.

There's a general segment of the population who are incapable of understanding or caring about obvious consequences for anything that doesn't happen to them personally.

The inability to understand or care about obvious consequences until they happen to oneself is a normal characteristic of young children, still mentally undeveloped and shielded by the adults around them, but it's weird, unbecoming, and sad for a grown adult to still have this problem.
Check the manager tools podcast, they have some really good tips for this. IIRC a bit spread out but there are specific meeting episodes.

A big one is that you can empathize with the need to discuss things in general, and also emphasize the goal to focus on one topic, and if you do both of those at the beginning of the meeting you are more likely to get what you want.

Another big one from my own area of specialty is that people aren't always in control of their interactions despite best intentions. There are "resting/venting" and "party" combinations that naturally occur when specific perspectives come together, even when the individuals in isolation consciously want nothing of the sort.

So A) another good reason to stay away from too much blame and B) possible hint that meeting composition can be helpful to look at as well.

Good luck.
Can't wait until a company makes a 7-8 seat minivan with the Lightning's two-way battery function. The ultimate consumer utility for moving people, cargo, and electrons.
