As I said, "not worrying about it in practice" isn't "the same problem." If that is hard to wrap your mind around, you can suppose a fine of $1 billion for every wrong answer.
Depends on whether we improve battery technology, then we could store the excess for less windy days. Also I did a quick search and there are places on Earth that are consistently very windy, so we could maybe even set up massive wind farms there. Commonwealth Bay, Antartica is apparently the windiest place on Earth, where the average annual windspeed is 50mph, according to the Guinness World Record book.

No problem (why should it?)

> BEVs are improving quickly so what I buy might be superseded soon

That WAS my concern, but EV resale value is amazingly stable, better than most ICE in my area (EU). After all, EVs are still cars, so innovation cycles are long (many years).
I think that's excessive and even wasteful. He can use a heating block.

Every underpass was filled with tent cities and trash. Downtown was covered with urine and there were protests that got out of control. Very little of that now.
You should probably at least have read the first few paragraphs of the article, then. The article is about the economic competitiveness of it. (It notes that just because MythBusters built a lead balloon once, that doesn't mean there will ever be any commercial lead balloon flights.)
Dude, it's a freaking self driving car from the future.

It seems to me that this article is not wrong, yet. Unless I misread, it argues that there will never be profitable power plants using fusion, rather than fusion being impossible.
It would be a bit odd if the median term length were much longer, and if you look at an actuarial table you'll see why. I guess that's one advantage to electing the ancient: built-in term limits.
Space based solar is dumb. Let’s be generous and say you can get 2x output by having 24/7 sunlight, and that somehow we can beam it down efficiently enough that it’s a wash with gains from not having clouds or atmosphere in the way. Then the cost must be less than 2x for it to make sense over ground based solar. That’s just not realistic.

Now when we have mining and manufacturing in space, and can use the energy there, that’s a different story.
French, PoC was originally a French term long ago, and was popularized again by MLK under a different context.

But beyond the history, which is interesting dont get me wrong, this is a moving goalpost. Once BIPOC becomes unacceptable, soon will its successor. All that matters is intent, I do not think _anyone_ here had the intent of disparaging any particular race, and to prejudicially think someone is using it that way counterproductive and regressive.

This isn't your form to rule.
I was under the impression that cars died in the cold due to the battery dying. Are evs more reliable because they are likely to be plugged in over night?
Any set of nuclear regulations that aren't just a copy of France's nuclear regulations are probably too restrictive. France gets 3/4 of their electricity from nuclear without any major incidents.

(Obviously this is overly simplistic, there is a set of natural disasters that France isn't subject to that other countries are, so France is just a starting point. But every addition should be justified by answer the question "What about our circumstances makes us different from France here?")
Uh, it switches back to self driving?

Not an issue. You (the author) give them a pronunciation guide, and then you listen to their first draft and make corrections. Possibly even record it yourself for them, as a help.

As for authenticity: you might be right.
Everyone’s repeating they find this strange. Is it really strange?

I’ve been excited for EVs all my life. But there’s a certain level of propaganda that’s come with them.

Explicitly talking about their downsides seems to be taboo. Like you’ll get downvoated or banned on many social media platforms for doing it.
The way solar prices are trending, energy will also be free when it's sunny out, maybe even partially sunny.

Then the way EVs are trending, each home should have giant batteries in their garage and a good percentage will likely be incentivized to charge their EV when the sun/wind is strong and potentially release it back to the grid when its not.
Easily mitigated by good charging practices (eg: charge when you finish a drive and the car/battery is still warm, not after leaving it in the cold overnight)
Wow, this is fantastic! I had a couple of questions. The author states:

>"According to the 10BASE-T spec, each frame starts with a fixed synchronization sequence of 64 bits, first 62 of which are alternating ones and zeroes and the last two are ones."

I believe the intention of the "preamble" is to provide clocking and synchronization for the circuit so that it knows where to find the start frame delimiter and subsequent fields. Is that correct?

My other question is at what point does the circuit drop frames that are not intended for it? Does that happen in layer 1 or layer 2? I realize this happens less in modern switched Ethernet networks but it is still possible for a host to get an Ethernet frame for where the destination MAC address does not match any of those burned-in addresses on the Ethernet adapter. Does the transceiver always read the entire Ethernet frame even when the destination MAC address field it reads is incorrect? The maximum Ethernet frame size is 1518 bytes which seems like a lot of data read if the MAC address is not valid for the host.
Yeah, I probably should have looked in the dictionary before posting that.

It's pretty dangerous, burns down quite a few cars each year, but people don't care or have no other options. I think during the last couple of years there were two fires near my house alone.
Bullshit, it's in all the plans. You are completely misconstrueing European energy policy.

Of course renewables don't replace all the fossil fuels right now. This may happen eventually with storage technology, but nobody is planning with that. Of course the slack is taken up by burning fossil fuel which reduces the overall replacement factor by a certain amount. That was the plan all along, not some evil bait-and-switch. Nobody ever calculated or promised those energy sources producing all the time. You are either completely ignorant or purposefully lying.
From my days at the secondhand store I remember that half the books that came in were recycled. There is a lot of pulp. Many books are quite damaged. Also, schoolbooks from 20 or 30 years old are not very much in demand.

At the same time, I enjoy buying books secondhand. Preferably at a shop, but an internet marketplace is fine too if I am looking for something specific.

For me, books are fungible. I only keep them if I am not planning on reading them again and not looking anything up. I guess a lot of people treat books this way, which is all the more joy for secondhand buyers.
> No thanks. Hard pass. This is all terrible.

Of course it sounds terrible, but is it more or less terrible than the collapse of civilization, which is what seems likely to happen as a result of climate instability and radical ecological changes, should we continue on our present course?

"Hard pass" is a choice for the latter.

We have found several "problems" that we think can be done better
1) CloudTrail requires to run for a duration of time before suggesting a policy which means long time until getting value. What do you do until the suggestion? Run a less secure policy?
2) CloudTrial actually doesn't log all events so we are using either AWS SDK metrics or a proxy to make sure we get all activity
3) Integrations with Terraform, Git repository in order to make it easy to use in day to day
4) Hopefully in the future we can extend to other cloud vendors :)

I use Typinator expansions with the input video path (from the clipboard) as a variable to perform common ffmpeg operations, such as downsize, speed up, extract audio, strip audio, export frames to create GIF animations, or encoding as MP4.

Typinator lets you use what's on the clipboard but also add scripting (say, Python or JavaScript) when certain parameters need to be calculated, like sizes or names.
Whether fusion is good at peaking will depend on which fusion technologies end up working. Helion for one would be fantastic at peaking. It's likely to be quite cheap, wouldn't use a turbine, and could run fusion pulses at whatever rate we need.
This already kind of happens in places with a lot of solar around noon. Not the extortionate part but the almost free when the system is saturated part.
Agree with the article but, to me, demonstrates the reason why governments and regulators (and taxation authorities) make a difference here. E.g. if fossil fuels get a 200% tax then maybe nuclear/fusion (fission now) becomes more viable.

Have to concede that wind and solar seem pretty good now, if combined with good grid-wide battery technology.

> Walgreens has security guards, they can't do anything physical.

I think this is store policy, not the law.

> Shoplifting is a crime as it is a form of larceny or theft. Different states may refer to shoplifting in different ways, but a shop owner who suspects someone of shoplifting may detain them until law enforcement arrives if the shop owner has reasonable proof of the crime - either the owner/manager, a loss prevention associate or another employee personally saw the individual take or conceal an item or the store has surveillance showing the taking of an item. Any detention, however, must comport with any store policies and state law. [0]

It is my understanding that they can make a citizens arrest and physically detain the shoplifter if they wanted to. Walgreens and other large companies choose not to do this.
I'm neither of those.

This is the weird thing for me about some of these discussions. I'm not going to question Messi's ability or ability in general but I've always wondered how much "extraindividual" factors start to play a role in those upper tails that are incentivized. We talk about Messi like he's just a marble sculpture handed down from God but that's not the case.

Looking at the figure, for example, one thing I noticed was the gap between the two upper points and the rest. It's hard for me to imagine there aren't some missing points there.

In other fields or areas, I think you have to start asking about things like fraud, other vice, or circumstances.

As you suggest, there's probably also some unique things about international football that make it difficult to generalize to other things. Everything is probably a little unique in certain ways really, but the incentives are so extreme and the play is very visible.
The difference being that smoking is a personal decision and living near a nuclear power plant isn't. Especially if we were to scale it up to replace fossil fuels. which would mean on the order of ten times as much sites and risk.
I think you will need to apply an internal litmus test. For me, I ask myself whether what I’ve written and shared would be something I’d want to read myself.
You've made two arguments here, all are necessary and some are necessary. There's a record of anti-nuclear sentiment being stoked by fossil fuel industry[0]

Full disclosure: I work for Smallstep.

The recent trend toward "Zero Trust" security has come about in the wake of attacks on internal infrastructure, where having a firewall wasn't enough. There can be lots of ways into internal networks. And attacks can come from the inside. Of course, every environment is different and every threat model is different. Internal CAs are not for everyone. But, a lot of orgs have a threat model that demands authenticated encryption for internal traffic. And at that point, you may want an internal CA.

As for validity periods... as with many things, there are tradeoffs. We advocate for short-lived certs (a few minutes to a few days). Short-lived certs can greatly simplify the revocation process, in the case where an attacker steals a private key. You often don't need the complexity of CRL or OCSP, because you can just let the cert expire and tell the CA to disallow renewal.

And, if you have a policy where certs last for 7 days and is renewed every day, it forces the organization to use good hygiene around automated renewals and monitoring.

However, there are scenarios where long-lived certs make a lot of sense. For example, if the private key is hardware-bound and is non-exportable, then it makes sense to use longer validity periods. In this case, a successful attacker might be able to use the key, but they cannot steal it. So, you can get away with a longer-lived cert here. But, all certs do eventually expire and you still have to have some answer to that.
This seems like a bug in the SSD firmware? I should be able to write zillions of times to the same logical sector, they don't map 1:1 to physical blocks on the flash.

I've also run tons of RPis off of SSD root and never had this problem. I hear about it constantly though, so maybe it's urban legend?
The people who are stealing wages are easy to find after the fact and their crime leaves a paper trail. If the homeless person leaves the area with the property you’ll likely never see them again.
> A chemical element is called "radioactive" whenever at least one of its naturally occurring isotopes is radioactive.

I think you the defintion is the opposite, ie that an element is considered radioactive if NO isotopes are stable (ie ALL are radioactive).

Dérive: The Art of Getting Lost
If you look at reddit, it seems like the combination of maybe 50 people with 10 sock-puppets each is enough to shape conversations on specfic topic, especially if there is also some organic support for an issue. There are some really obvious examples for this, like the defense of Monsanto's practices (until they were bought out by Bayer) or the extreme condemnation of Julian Assange and wikileaks (since they fucked over the Democrats in 2016).
I think it’s because most people who are pro electric understand their downsides, and usually the downsides are presented as dismissal (eg why buy an electric, you have to stop when you’re traveling cross country.) It’s kind of a boring topic unless there’s something new to discuss.
The fusion question simply boils down to:

How are you going to generate power with your fusion plant? Steam?

Coal and nuclear are uncompetitive simply from the cost of the steam side. Today you can just about give a steam plant free energy and it still makes a loss.

Solar or wind does not have this limitation. CCGT gas plants gets around it by having a turbine giving raw mechanical power and then utilizing the same awful steam side to get the last percentage points of efficiency at a much smaller required scale.
Unless you can step around the steam turbine I am not so positive on fusions future outside of incredibly small niches.

Coal still gets built where gas infrastructure does not exist, but that's about it.
Sounds like COVID.
Do you know of any sites offhand that discuss this? I can look it up but wasn't sure if there were some you'd recommend. The thing you're mentioning seems really important as an example in these kinds of discussions.
An EV battery is entirely different than a lead acid accessory battery in a combustion car.

It has a whole system dedicated to maintaining its temperature within ideal ranges.

They don't die in cold weather. I've never heard of one doing so.

The only issue with cold weather is reduced range. So just make sure you buy one with a battery big enough to handle your commute even with reduced range in cold. Which is pretty much all of them these days, honestly.
> Neither of those is possible, or will be possible, in the DNS PKI.

Transparency logs for domain issuance is completely possible, it just requires some engineering and deployment. Remember that HTTPS was in use for decades before CT logging of certificates became mandatory.

More importantly, though, we need to be clear about what "noncompliance" means. In the web PKI, it means a CA issuing a certificate for a domain that the requester doesn't control, but the equivalent for that in the DNS PKI would be TLD .foo publishing data for a domain example.bar which is not an attack at all, because no one would care what .foo thinks about a .bar domain.

So, rather than relying on browsers being brave enough to kill a large provider (and we need to be honest with ourselves about how much leeway browsers would give to Let's Encrypt if they ever suffered a catastrophic security breach), the DNS PKI simply isn't vulnerable to this problem, because TLDs can't issue certs for domains that aren't registered under them.
no, you really haven't
> Honestly the nut we should be cracking is putting solar in our deserts and figuring out how to transmit the electricity.

We have figured out the latter already. High-voltage direct-current transmission has losses in the low single digit percent per 1000km. China is transferring several nuclear power plants worth of power over thousands of kilometers already today.

Edit: Wikipedia says that the Chinese connection I remembered has a capacity of 12GW over 3300km.

They run on Linux, which is close enough for me.
Microwave power transmission seems like the obvious answer, but is fundamentally flawed due to the thinned-array curse:

> It states that a transmitting antenna which is synthesized from a coherent phased array of smaller antenna apertures that are spaced apart will have a smaller minimum beam spot size, but the amount of power that is beamed into this main lobe is reduced by an exactly proportional amount, so that the total power density in the beam is constant.
