I also recommend Lost Moon (which is sometimes published as Apollo 13). I've joked with people it's the same story, except in outer space. If by "story" you mean getting the feeling every 20 pages or so of "they are dead now for sure," then it's not really that much of a joke.

I read both of these around the same time and loved them both.
* Cambridge Analytica created an insipid quiz and got many people to install it.

* The quiz used public Facebook APIs to gather data; users accepted a "share this data with the app" permission request.

* Cambridge Analytica conned Republicans into paying them for services using this "superweapon".

* There's no evidence (other than self-serving press releases from Cambridge Analytica) that this had any material effect on the election.

I built my startup on elixir.

Once you get past the syntax, a lot of the day to day thinking about how to model your solution in the context of the system is similar. to the point that I'd say elixir is Clojure with a ruby like syntax. elixir has let bindings but they are implicit and blend into the language. you don't really think about them. At the same time, you have all teh standard fare of a functional enough language without all the type ceremony.

Id say its more convenient to work with elixir day to day. Less tracking of parenthesis and the code naturally comes out looking more uniform. There is the price that macros are harder to write in elixir. That is not to say its difficult but lisps in general make writing a macro so damn easy that anything else feels difficult in comparison. I think its a good compromise. Its just difficult enough to make avoid creating macros until you REALLY need them.
This.. this is not true at all.

I'm pretty sure it was a fair reading, for people who read the article.

The article discussed the option of throwing 40 years of development out the window or borrowing/imitating things from emacs/vim. Then the MS Word comment was made, "It never ceases to amaze me that MS Word and its ilk do not seem to have equivalents of ..."
I suggest reading the claims from the guy in the article in the OP as well. After doing so, I came to a conclusion that is much closer to yours than that of the headline.

The guy claims that Grimes sends him coded messages through instagram, that Elon tracks his location at all times and blocks his Uber Eats deliveries, and says that he was also in the area (which he was aware was where Grimes lived) for some business with Grimes. If this isn't indicative of stalking, then idk what is.

But it indeed seems to be unconnected to ElonJet tracker website.

Or to a conflict of interest. Unlike consumer products, crypto usually ends up being worth more if more people are using it. Most crypto proponents hold some crypto and have a financial incentive to get more people into it.

Naive Image and video codecs are quite fun to make, I have done a bunch of them over the years and it's quite easy to get within cooee of established formats. And even surpass them under certain conditions. I made a lossy image format that achieves 20-25 PSNR at around 200:1 compression, which is better than most lossy formats because that's in a quality/data-size that most image formats consider out of scope.

QOI https://qoiformat.org/ is a good example of a practically useful simple format.

It's still quite a leap to get to the best new codecs, suddenly you are in a world of head hurty math.

It's also worth noting that it is easy to beat the old formats all-round with off-the-shelf parts, both JPEG and PNG can be bested by changing the outer level of compression for something that was invented after the formats were made. For instance using LZMA or zstd as the final stage. Quite often that's enough to put them on a par with more radically different newer formats.
“Hospitals will stabilize anyone, regardless of ability to pay.”

Long term degradation and manufacturer warranty for such is indeed a factor. There's a number of poly and monocrystalline Si 156mm cell based PV modules now which are warranted for something like 83% of their original STC rated output after 25 years. Of course you have to also believe that the manufacturer will still be around in the same corporate form in 25 years and able to honor its warranty.

This certainly may not be the case if you follow PV industry news and are aware of how many PV panel manufacturers have formed as startups and gone bankrupt in the last 8 to 14 years.

edit: the other reply here in the thread asks:

> but can be replaced as a layer every, say, 5 years or so? It's not trivial maintenance, but you have to do some maintenance on the panels anyway

Typical mass market PV panels are cells permanently encapsulated behind glass sandwiched with a back sheet, it is not practical or possible to replace a layer or modify the cells once they're assembled into a panel. The only maintenance done on a series of ground or roof mounted typical PV panels is to wash them.

Bitcoin does not solve that problem. The reason he has a ton in gas is that it was government subsdised and sold a a fixed rate to worthless currency.

He has a very opinionated style, so if it doesn't work for, you'll hate it. At the same time, I've found it extremely insightful about human nature and it forced my to face some parts of myself that I wasn't aware of and didn't like.

Very much love-or-hate read, but worth trying. Just maybe check out his old blog first to see if his style is bearable for you.

I have long wished that there was an away message feature on social media. Eventually I realized that of course this would never be offered because it would reduce the incentive to constantly be opening and reopening the app.

I also find it weird to portray AIM as something that all millennials used. People born in the early 80s were in high school or college when AIM peaked. But someone born in the mid 90s would likely not have used the service at all.

You said "stolen". That's a question of property rights. It's a legal definition. If the government takes my land via eminent domain, and pays me for it, I can criticize the government "morally", but I can't say it "stole" my land without engaging in hyperbole and some misdirection. This is why someone else would put "stolen" in quotes. Those quotes are what the thread is about. You can't just decide for yourself that something was stolen because you are morally offended. If you do that, someone else will put stolen in quotes.

But if we venture into moral criticism, then let's remember that for many ancient artifacts, they were in the process of being destroyed by the various local governments until Europeans came along. Greek papyri were being burned in scrap heaps for heat. Ancient pottery was being smashed and recycled for raw materials. Many of these artifacts were pulled from local trash heaps and recyclers. Europeans had to come and decipher the hieroglyphs and Sumerian cuneiform because the local societies -- for whom these were the works of foreign civilizations -- had no idea what they meant and zero intellectual curiosity in studying these works. Arab Egypt had ownership of the rosetta stone and a vast array of hieroglyphs for over a millennia and never understood it, and launched no program to uncover their secrets. For them, pre-Islamic Egypt was at best a pagan society that they conquered long ago, and there wasn't much point in trying to understand it. The French and British travelled long distances and spent great personal fortunes on expeditions to study these artifacts and understand these ancient civilizations. It wasn't Arab Egypt that learned the names of the Egyptian dynasties and deciphered the Book of the Dead. It wasn't Arab civilization in Mesopotamia that deciphered Akkadian and learned the Epic of Gilgamesh. It was Europeans. Europeans prized and valued this cultural product of other civilizations, they preserved it, often rescuing it from destruction, and they purchased it from local antiquities dealers, and they put it in their museums. Of all the consequences of colonialism, this was on balance on the good side of the ledger, or at least ambiguous, so it's an odd thing to morally condemn, given the many richer targets for criticism in the colonial world.

So, obviously, there's a difference between efficiency in lab settings and efficiency in the field for mass-produced cells. But - this is an impressive achievement for the Silicon + Perovskite technology.

But I have a question to the more knowledgeable here: The chart in the story shows other technologies which achieve significantly higher efficiency figures:

specifically, multi-junction cells. Why are they faded-out? Are they not practicable to mass produce and deploy? Only usable in limited scenarios?

Partial self-answer: According to Wikipedia,

> As of 2014 multi-junction cells were expensive to produce, using techniques similar to semiconductor device fabrication, usually metalorganic vapour phase epitaxy but on "chip" sizes on the order of centimeters.

It's certainly not accurate. I was laid off from my SRE role despite having saved the company huge amounts of money. I'm sure that some executive did a simple calculation of salary compared to seniority/experience and I came up towards the top of the spreadsheet.

So I was let go without a deeper analysis of my contributions or highly positive performance review.

I have been having some success getting interviews at decent companies despite it being the slowest time of year for hiring but I do get the impression that some recruiters are looking my layoff negatively.
I genuinely don't understand this comment.

In the olden days, a news report would say "A suspect was fatally shot by a police officer."

Now, they'll only say "A suspect was fatally injured during an officer-involved shooting."

Which is like, yeah no kidding the officer was "involved" -- he pulled the trigger!

You're making it sound like everything advanced and then receded at the same time across the world. This hasn't been the case since the end of the last glacial period. There have been recedings of local civilizations scattered throughout history, as well as some large scale regional disruptions (e.g. late bronze age collapse, decline of the roman empire), but nothing like periods where everything collapses globally.

It also means to understand that some things can be handled much better by a shared effort instead of everybody on their own. That’s why we have police, firefighters and the military.

> The US has the highest preventable death rate in the developed world.

So... I am sure that is one reason of the highest preventable death rate. doesn't invalidate GP point.

> I'm supportive of universal healthcare, but this is a huge exaggeration.

Sadly in a way its not an exaggeration at all, will doctors and nurses literally watch you die of course not. If you go into the ER they legally have to stabilize you. But that's it. If I have cancer and and really sick, If they take to me to the ER, they will stabilize me but they want start treating the cancer. Even if its still early, they will watch you die over time as the cancer advances and makes you worse.

To be fair, I am certain the doctors and nurses want to treat you. But the hospital won't/can't allow it for bullshit reasons.

> You can buy human insulin for $25 a vial at Walmart. It's not as good, but it's what people used a couple decades ago.

I can't believe your defending poor people having to use worse insulin. How is that okay for you? We are talking about peoples lives, can the richest country on earth aim a little higher then throwing decades old medical knowledge at poor people to shut them up?

> I'm supportive of universal healthcare,

No you aren't, after that claim about supporting it, you spend the rest of your post shooting down universal healthcare.

> Countries with nationalized healthcare often have long backlogs for treatments. The cancer backlog in the UK is over 2 million people and it's continuing to grow [1].

> Also, if you are insured, you're typically going to get new and more sophisticated treatments on the US compared to most places with nationalized healthcare.

The UK has its issue, but from what I can see its because they are purposely starving it of money so they can ultimately privatize it.

America's health care is fucking garbage. There is no defending it, I'm so tired of spending my time calling several different companies to figure out why I am getting billed for something I shouldn't be. I'm not exaggerating either, literally one or twice a month I get the joy of calling my insurance and whatever doctor sent the bill and try and solve why my insurance won't cover it.

There is no easy way to link a single user lib static/dynamic without resorting to hacks/workarounds like re-importing the shared library or defining weird intermediate targets. It's completely broken.

It made me better understand how Rust works and how it is designed, and in doing so, it really untangled how borrowing/ownership works.

I liken it to paint a tree, full of leaves which obscure its branches. I might never paint the branches, but understanding how the branches are shaped will help me draw a better tree.

This was in tandem with reading the Rust book, being active in the IRC, and writing programs to learn! The Rustonomicon just happened to have what I needed.
What’s the equation for quadratics
At the target range I have noticed that police often drill with this anti pattern:

1. un-holster, aim
2. yell "Stop or I'll shoot" or similar line
3. fire a few rounds

They train like this over and over, they never do a step 3 where they re-holster or stay aimed but do not fire.

Thus they train themselves to automatically fire regardless of the actions of the person they are aiming at.
