The WTO has been in a stalemate since the Seattle riots of 1999 because developed countries insist on subsidizing and protecting farmers of major crops (the odd thing is that there is little dirigisme for healthy foods like broccoli and spinach but a lot for mass carbohydrates such as corn, sugar,...) but developing countries won't further open any other kind of trade unless the developed world opens up in agriculture.
Perhaps they should have called it a "tandem" system or hot-standby.

The hummer EV is around 9100 lbs.

If we assume the higher end of GVWR for a tractor trailer at 80,000 that’s 8.8 hummer EVs.

Tractor trailers are also typically size limited not weight limited for their loads, which would bring down the ratio much further.

Lastly having the weight distributed to many more tires (typically 18) instead of 4 must ease the load on the pavement, no?

This article (and most quoting "low birth rate") are incredibly out of touch. How can you be shocked that in a world where a shooting might not make the news, our politicians don't hide their corruption, and you know, the climate crisis that we've seen coming and still choose to do nothing.

No I can't think of a single reason why "young people don't feel like it's the right time".
What Mozilla/Firefox needs to understand is that end users do not care about standards purity/principles. If core functionality doesn't work in your browser, people simply aren't going to use it. This is why the web is increasingly broken on Firefox--nowadays, about 10% of the sites I visit are simply utterly broken or slow on Firefox but work fine on Chrome.

Hell, even the $LARGE_CORPORATION I work at has all its developer tooling (including documentation, custom extensions, etc.) on Chrome. I've reported countless Firefox-specific issues, often due to missing API support, because no one internally tests on anything other than Chrome. You have to meet your users where they are.

I agree to the fact that there is systemic caste based discrimination across the institutes specified. No doubt about it.

The data clearly shows that not enough people from marginalized communities get a representation in these institutions. However, there are so many factors at play that could influence their representation (other than the one suggested by the article):

- What about parents from these communities who are not aware of such opportunities existing for their children

- What about students who don't get science education at higher secondary level because of lack of infrastructure locally

- What about parents who do not have an economic backing to let their children pursue a career in science

All I am saying is that the caste based 'reservation' is a slippery slope. I personally know people who belong to these communities, who score very low in entrance tests and still manage to secure an admission to top colleges. Worse I have seen people bribe their way and change their community certificate to 'OBC/MBC' to get admitted into colleges.

There needs to be equity not in number of seats reserved. That is
a lose-lose situation (student with merit doesn't get a chance, students from marginalized community are discriminated because they have a free ticket). The first step IMHO would be ensure access and infrastructure, and awareness to people from these communities.

Equity in primary, secondary education for all >>> Equity by caste based reservation of seats
'If there is a fire hazard in my house, I simply burn it down myself. In this way I have never "lost" a house due to a fire hazard.'
When I first joined the company I'm currently working at, I was a bit too focused on elegance, "proper" tooling/structure, and "doing things the right way", etc. For example, I couldn't _believe_ that we used raw SQL in our endpoints instead of using some fancy state-of-the-art ORM. The company is a start-up, and my previous job was as a SWE at Google, so naturally a lot of design decisions felt shocking to me. I definitely spent a lot of energy thinking about how we needed to "change everything".

Over time, I learned more about the history of our company + the projects I work on, and why they have come to be this way, which has helped humble me a bit, and in turn make me more effective on the team. However, what has _really_ made a difference w.r.t making me more effective, is a recalibration of my incentives - rather than focusing on personally "creating impact" and "enacting change", I shifted my focus to "what does this company need to be successful, and to go public". This significantly changed my thought process when it came to prioritizing work, and has made me easier to work with.

Counterintuitively (to me), that shift has done more to make me a better engineer, than perhaps increasing my technical expertise would have.

How can daycare be anything but expensive? You are paying one subset of (mostly) women to take care of the children of another, while state laws mandate that the number of kids each daycare lady can watch is about the same as the number of kids she would have. There cannot possibly be enough women who are not mothers available to be daycare providers unless (1) lots of women are not becoming mothers, which contributes to low birth rates, (2) some subset of women have alternate arrangements for their own child's care (currently what's likely going on), or (3) daycare remains permanently expensive because there's simply more demand than supply.

Thus, the total number of females willing to be daycare providers is going to be less than the total number of women with children. Thus, demand will always outstrip supply. Thus, the cost of daycare will rise to be the median wage of the highest-income cohort for which the supply meets demand.

For example, if there are ten working women and two are day care carers who can look after four babies each, including their own, then they can look after six non-related babies all together. Assuming each woman has one baby, then of the eight non-carers, only six will have their babies cared for. The other two have to make alternate arrangements. Due to how the market works, the two who have to make other arrangements are going to be the lowest income. The cost of daycare will rise to be the median wage of the six working women, because the substitute for daycare (the women staying home) costs the same. Thus, perpetually, for the bottom twenty percent in this example, daycare will forever be out of reach. There is no getting around this.

Note, I'm not saying anything about whether women should work or stay at home. I'm just pointing out that the whole system boils down to a Ponzi scheme of care, and withdrawals are constantly being demanded.
But often the first couple to have kids delays doing so for reasons that come down to money or proxies for money. For example the career impact may be greater or childcare may be proportionally more of your income.

I've worked with these super-smart idiot savant type engineers before and often butted heads over stuff, and later in my career lead teams that have those archetypes.

A few things I think - one is stress that they might be clever enough to understand and manage that kind of complexity, but you personally aren't, and would prefer styles, solutions and techniques that are comprehend able by mere mortals such as yourself. This is hard if not impossible to argue with. After all, you need to be able to understand it, because if they leave or are unavailable the maintenance burden will be on you / the rest of the team.

But the flip side is these people are usually very good problem solvers and prolific, so the more you can harness that, the happier everyone will be.

Some of my regrets include stalling a PR for being overly complex, resulting in it not getting merged and deployed for months, when the code would have saved 10k/month in server costs. When I tried to re-write it myself to be simpler I failed, so it was arguably necessary complexity. With that said the team that took the code after us, removed the feature entirely as it was a complicated mess - that was probably the sensible but outside the box solution.

Another one was early in my career working with a senior who liked short/scope relative names. I thought it was bad naming at the time, but now I realise that if you do it properly, the shortness itself can be semantic.

The biggie for me is tests, many people dislike writing them, and occasionally the smarter guys can get away without them, more so than the average. But long term, this creates a nightmare because the team will lose confidence when making changes. Convincing people to write more tests is difficult and I haven't worked out a great way to emphasise why it's necessary.

The reason we all now wear our seatbelts through the entire flight is there was a cross-Pacific flight that had a sudden altitude drop where several people were injured from rebounding off the ceiling. When the news reported on it, they reported the cause was believed to have been an undetected massive downdraft that shoved the plane down.

I lost the thread on that story before the investigation concluded the actual cause was autopilot error. It is, in some ways, more comforting to me to know that the issue wasn't novel atmospheric phenomena, but instead relatively-mundane cosmic radiation flipping one packet of data from the sensors to the avionics that the avionics lacked sufficient redundancy to detect or discard. As a result, the autopilot believed the plane had suddenly pitched 90 degrees and drastically corrected to escape stall.
At least metric recipes are actually reproducible, not like the tablespoons and cups compounding rounding errors and estimates of the imperial “system”.

> Is that £10k for a mini split system?

It was 2021 when I last last looked into it but I recall that 10k was the list price of the cheapest air source heat pump that wouldn't result in a net increase in energy bills. I don't believe it included installation or any other associated costs.

> Given the hot summers and energy costs in the UK I think many homes would find that investment a net gain.

It's almost unheard of for UK homes to have any sort of cooling installed.

> I don't know what that means. There are no radiators for mini splits or air source heat pumps, maybe you are talking about ground source hot-water systems? They are still stupidly expensive, for good reason, huge install consideration.

UK homes are mainly heated with hot water radiators in each room; typically by an on demand gas combi-boiler that also handles hot water. Heat pump installations in the UK typically heat a hot water tank[0] that provides domestic hot water and heats the radiators.

Due to poor insulation the gas central heating systems typically run at around 60-80c. Heat pumps here usually heat the water to around 40c. This will often require replacing existing radiators that were installed expecting ~70c flow temperature with oner that can disperse more heat into the room. It can also involve additional insulation.

> Today's low upfront cost of mini split heat pumps makes for a highly favourable option for new builds, and indeed even the average home.

Indeed, heat pumps are a sensible choice for most new build homes in the UK as well. They typically have much better insulation and are therefore less affected by the low flow temperature. The costs involved in retrofitting anything older than 10, maybe 20 years old were.

No elinks or w3m?
The pump heats water and circulates it in the floors of the ground floor of the house and in radiators on the top floor. It also has an internal hot water tank for tap water, and a backup electrical heater.

I do have ducts for exhaust air from kitchen and bathrooms. That’s where the pump takes it’s heat from so it doesn’t need to work with outdoor temp air.

Having kids sounds like a lot of fun, but if you look at a graph of population over time we sorta look like a species that's in for a rude awakening about the limits of our ecosystem. Introducing more people at this time just doesn't seem like the humane thing to do. Maybe next time.
We can get near parity though - in the end it's probably a classic pareto distribution problem. The last 20% of traffic fatalities will be really hard, I agree, but we can reduce the utter majority of traffic accidents very very easily.

> they're the one taking responsibility for doing the work and ensuring its correctness

But that's not the case. They're taking responsibility for _initially_ doing the work and ensuring the correctness _for the cases they've thought of_. Past that, they're adding mental load to every developer on the team. And to the person that needs to maintain it.

If it's a caching system, what happens when some other person is working on something that doesn't play nice with caching? What if they don't realize there's caching and they waste a lot of time trying to figure out why their code isn't working? What if they need to bypass caching to get the correct results; so they need to understand the caching system enough to do this? Does it even support it? Is their code now coupled to the caching system?

What happens when things about the system need to change? Who is in charge of that change?

Adding complexity to a system doesn't just impact "the person that wrote that complexity at the time it was written". It's an ongoing cost, forever, until it's removed. It needs to be worth that cost, or it shouldn't be done at all.
