Renato Carosone (singer of Tu vuò fà l'americano) quit at his peak:

> At the height of his career, Carosone announced his retirement from music in 1960. He felt that the advent of Rock and roll had the consequence of making his swing, big-band sound no longer popular: "I'd rather retire now on the crest of the wave, than being tormented later by the idea of rock and roll wiping away all that I have achieved in so many years of hard work".

(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renato_Carosone#Retirement)

That quote has stuck with me.
As things stand now, 6 hours later, I am at +3 votes! About the best I ever do. I am surprised too.

You are right in saying that they left has not yet gotten everything they want with respect to healthcare, minimum wage, college tuition, etc. But the inexorable trend seems to be that we become more of a welfare state year by year.

But I'm referring more to the power of the left to cancel those who dare to disagree with their pronouncements. It is on that score that I think 95% of the American public should be in agreement: Freedom of speech, not just a constitutional right which prevents government reprisals but a rich cultural value, is something that needs to be protected and nurtured.
Oh, yeah, that specific approach wouldn't work. It wasn't obvious to me if you were being specific about the article's approach or not.

Social media & the January 6 attack – privileged draft report [pdf]
Grade inflation exacerbates this problem. The straight A student of today might have been the straight B student of 40 years ago. Meanwhile, the student of 40 years ago that was exceptional in some subjects but mediocre in others can today only get an A for exceptional work, but may get a B for what used to be C level work. Truly exceptional work does not pay in grades anymore, only reliability.

Now, reliability is a very important skill, but it should not be the only thing measured .
The big difference between the two that I noticed is that dynamic camp doesn't aggressively proselytize. And it doesn't shame infidels (it pities them, if anything).
How to include/embed text from one in another Google doc?
I'd like to create a set of docs that take text from other google docs (say, as subsections). I'd like the embedee doc to reflect changes from the embedded doc. I believe this already works for drawings.

The use case is to avoid creating several almost-identical versions of the same content in multiple places. But I could not find a way to do it natively, or with ad-ons.

I imagine that there must be a way to connect Google Docs with a CMS of some sort, but came up short.

Maybe there's a way to build a hacky CMS with app scripts.

Thanks for any pointers.

Great write up and very useful in an industry where a lot of people seem to think "doing a good job" is enough to get recognised, lots of money and continuous promotions. The transition from IC into Management really needs a head shift and I think a lot of software engineers aren't prepared for the machinations of modern corps.

I agree with your sentiment for the most part. I would love to see someone take RISC-V or Power seriously to compete in the consumer space with an ISA. However, I don't think Power is quiet cheap enough and Risc-V just isn't there yet. So I'd like to see someone throw their hat seriously in the ARM ring until Power becomes cheap enough or RISC-V gets there. Plenty of people producing Intel/AMD machines, we have too many there.
As others have said, it's not because of a technical reason but instead because companies don't really want to comply with privacy laws. We already have tried this twice: P3P (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P3P) and DNT (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/DN...), and it seems they are trying again with GPC (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Se...). The important point is that this assumes that websites will cooperate, but knowing that advertising companies are actively clogging up EU countries with long-stretching lawsuits just so that they can stretch their time I foresee that GPC will be a failure (like DNT and P3P).
Hoop stress scales with the radius too, since there's more material pulling on itself. You're looking at many trillions of pascals for an Earth-equivalent ringworld.
Presumably as we use more renewable energy, we'll need more temporary storage. Buffering out day/night cycles from solar generation, for instance, would be a daily occurrence not a rare event. $9/kwh might be reasonable in an emergency, but even 18 cents/kwh seems pretty high for daily use.
Obviously that isn't the main issue here, since disabling TikTok on UT wifi does very little to stop people from actually using it.
For all of the invocations of Putin in this discussion, Russia already intervened in Ukraine less than a decade ago with their Little Green Men, and they were recently present in Syria. Never mind their invasion of Georgia and the Chechen Wars. Much more combat experience than the modern PLA.
Well, yeah, that's why they spend money to advertise them. If they were effective drugs, they'd sell well without any pushing.

Well sure, but only because it was legalized despite decades of fervent objections from them. After legalization it became undeniable that conservative fearmongering on the issue was total bullshit.
It's simply not true and very observable if you've ever been at a company that does layoffs. Plenty of good teams get let go or entire groups in the company from management down are let go, it just doesn't make sense that they would all be "low-performers". Some low-performers will be caught up in layoffs, sure, but plenty will remain at the company too.

"may need to" -Power Utilities worldwide have been looking at flow battery models for decades. What they lacked was supply chain committed to the longterm specific model, and a pricepoint which matched their needs. Lithium batteries were being made in volumes with a supply chain for multiple uses: cars, home storage, this industrial-scale purpose. It provided a pricepoint and a supply chain and logistics to match for BMS and demand management at scale.

Flow batteries are good. They exist. They didn't get the capital required to drive them to ubiquity, in industrial scale deployment .. yet.

Also, putting to one side "duracell" typically means a non rechargable, we actually can green the planet WITH canister sized individual battery instances ganged up into bigger units, because that's precisely what we are doing. The mistake is thinking batteries can do it alone. Not what format they come in and how we aggregate them. There are gigawatts and gigawatt-hours of Tesla batteries in deployment which provide frequency stability, and other load demand management services, and extend the duration that solar and wind power can be supplied without "firming" from Gas or other peaker plants, and they supplant traditional condenser spinning loads, and actually DO supply power. They have helped significantly alter the trajectory of change here.

This is a bit like saying "great: we can't build skyscrapers out of something as small as gravel, this is stupid: we invented bricks for a reason" ignoring the structural role of gravel as aggregate in concrete.

Individual cell technology is not the limiting factor here.
Is your claim that all media is perfectly fungible so you don’t need to care about its content or origin and that media has no impact on your beliefs and psyche? That doesn’t sound reasonable to me.
In my experience VC Studios have been a great deal for founders that want to be a founder no matter the financial or career outcome of the deal. Usually on the younger side with a few years of industry experience. They can't raise money without the help of a VC Studio so it works for them.

But if you're doing startups just to have a "founder" in your LinkedIn profile, you're doing something wrong.
Ohh ok, makes sense.
New drugs are being developed to replace existing ones that are still effective, with the intention of bypassing expiring patents. And of course, these new drugs get all of the advertising budget.

This is according to what I have heard.
"A Ponzi scheme (/ˈpɒnzi/, Italian: [ˈpontsi]) is a form of fraud that lures investors and pays profits to earlier investors with funds from more recent investors." [1]

The only thing there that is arguably untrue about social security / public pensions is "investors". Depending on whether or not you consider contributions to social security / public pensions as an investment or not, it falls on one side or the other of the literal line of what a Ponzi scheme is. Even if you don't consider it an investment, in /every other aspect/ it is effectively the same as a Ponzi scheme.

That is not to say that public pensions are a bad thing. I'm merely pointing out that they carry a demographic risk that is unaccounted for, just as a Ponzi scheme carries significant investment risks that are unaccounted for due to faked returns.

There is no requirement that you promise exponential growth that is literally impossible for something to be a Ponzi scheme. The key element is that you use money from new participants to pay out "returns" to older participants, thus fraudulently claiming/faking said returns. That is it.

I agree with everything you said, this is why I think pre-fab is the way to go. It's like ordering a car, high industrial quality and few/no surprises. Other readers should keep in mind the pre-fabs we are talking have nothing to do with park homes. It's more like a Lego that is assembled onsite.

Regarding Huf Haus alternatives, there are a few German brands that are quite similar. Baufritz for instance is also old, and manufactures outstanding houses: https://www.baufritz.com/uk. The problem is that, unlike Huf Haus, they are not willing to do cheap (<€800k) projects. Huf can do smaller bungalows, which will be expensive per sqm but still less than a half out what Baufritz would be willing to consider.

For smaller stuff, in the UK there is https://wudl.co.uk, which builds pretty nice things. I also love https://www.echoliving.co.uk, although this is just a high-end cabin builder. Very different.
> No abortion restrictions even into the third trimester? Not favored by the general population

I think this one in particular is more popular in America than in Europe. Third trimester abortions are broadly banned in almost all of Europe, except when a doctor says it's medically necessary.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_in_Europe#Abortion_ru...

Personally I think France gets it about right, but saying this is sure to piss off a lot of people on both sides in America. It pisses off the conservatives because I oppose the total abortion ban they want, and it pisses off progressives because I don't favor legalizing elective third trimester abortions. The American discussion around this issue is extremely polarized.
Ah ok, I have no such examinations.

Do most in the US start their PhD from a Bachelors degree?

Meanwhile, after selling all the power in your Tesla in a house that's constantly getting colder with frozen pipes and no electricity you've now sold your best options of leaving with your family for a warming shelter. How many days was the power mostly out?

Personally I'd keep the power in the car in an emergency like that. I'd much rather have the ability to flee if things get worse than sell my best way out in the first few hours of an emergency.

Not applicable for this specific car, but I would really love a way that doesn't involve an ODBC dongle to monitor the nerdy battery details on electric cars. On extremely hot or cold days, battery temperature can make a huge difference in charge rate when you are on a road trip. And when I'm charging it's nice that most cars tell you the number of kilowatts you are receiving, but it would be nice to know exactly how many amps and volts as well.

Spamming taps on the 4 corners of every screen of an embedded app (with a rich UI at least) will always do something interesting.

"Reverse bias" is justified when there are groups that are particularly vulnerable to bias and need particular systemic protection from the same.
Worked at Argonne for ~5 years, initially as a postdoc and then some as a scientist.
I LOVED working at the lab - you get to do pretty cutting edge stuff and Argonne being near Chicago was pretty cool. The culture is pretty collaborative!

Yes, you earn less than the private sector, BUT, you get to work on important stuff that makes a difference (sometimes) and with some very smart people. Plus, you never get bored. Labs like Argonne have plenty (~95%) of open science stuff, so you don't need a clearance.

Finding a job there is a challenge though and luck plays a large part.

The only drawbacks, besides the pay and location (for other remote labs) is the funding. If you want to pursue your own research agenda, you need to find funding, which can be challenging. The lab overhead rates are pretty steep, so it gets annoying.
If you don't want to be a PI, you will need to find a PI who has the funding to support you. How secure that funding is and for how long depends. But if you have a skill set that can be used across fields and domains (e.g., applied stats or data science), then it gets easier to choose PIs and interesting projects.

I regret to say I no longer trust Mozilla in this specific sort of case. As an occasional-but-regular filer of bugs and user of Nightly for my daily driver for over ten of the last twelve years, the feeling I have is that where a decade ago they generally wouldn’t ship a thing until it was done, increasingly often in the last few years they have been shipping things despite known significant problems, only finishing things months later, but leaving users in the lurch in the mean time.

(Most recent example that I have in mind: they switched content dark mode from matching OS theme to matching browser theme in 95, despite quite a few immediate and detailed objections as soon as the patch landed on Nightly—and yes, I’m willing to admit that the change will match what some, perhaps more, users want—but didn’t expose it in about:preferences until 100; to my eye, they should fairly obviously have reverted the change until they had that setting, or at the very least mentioned the about:config pref to restore the old behaviour in the release notes. At least in that case there was still a pref for it.)
I doubt any policies are fundamentally for better working conditions. The models of capitalism and socialism do not support this.
That is a good idea (maybe not literally), but I wonder if many people could stand the intervening period of lower status and money.
Sure, 2d pcbs are certainly easier to design and get run. However there are a few people I've seen in the niche of a niche which is 'non flat keyboards' that are getting flex pcbs run for dactyls and their kin.
first step is to be ready for and accept the feeling of failure.

let yourself fail LOTS. once you get your mind around that just start doing it... do it and fail then do it again and fail and keep that up at some point someone will say "thats amazing" and you'll still think "nah it sucks, i failed again" but this is how it works. keep at it!
Doesnt matter what the system is if it works.

You've introduced just enough friction to disrupt the habits you want to break without bricking your device like some other commenters have.

I try to keep friction in my life for other habits I don't want to develop (don't keep alcohol or junk food at home, keep credit card in a specific drawer to limit impulse spending).
It's unfortunate that you've mentioned this - now whenever I see a youtube doco along these lines I'm going to check and be put off by this fact :/.

Youtube is definitely developing a subculture of channels that essentially copy existing work and put them in video form. I guess they are generating bespoke content - There's a fair bit of effort that goes into creating an engaging and cohesive video. But the fact that most of them do not properly acknowledge sources leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
But this article is not talking about brownouts this is talking about routine use.

PhD programs in the US and elsewhere are different: most PhD programs in the US are significantly longer, and could be seen as combined Master's and PhD programs, admitting students directly after their undergraduate degrees. The first year or two could be seen as more of a Master's program, and many programs give Master's degrees at some point in the process (some by request, such that the difference between having a Master's and not having one can be whether you decided to file a form or not). There can also be a certain filtering process at some point in the process, with some form of qualifying exams with three possible results of failing, being given a Master's degree but not being permitted to continue in the program, and continuing on to a PhD.

The result is that for many PhD programs, the first year or two transitions from being fully class-based (though often very small classes) to more and more research, and then finally a switch to having no classes, and only research (and teaching).
It's not the douchebag part they love. It's the lack of fear/timidness that people love.
This was my initial reaction also. I can deal with approaches that are unusual, but don't surprise me with it.

I'm no security professional, but I am familiar with the ultra crap security standards of many institutions. It's really just removing a drop from the ocean of potential risks, but doesn't seem that outlandish given the nature of TikTok and where it comes from.
this is pretty contentious, and based on your definition of "woke", which is a pretty vague word with unhelpful connotations

a less mocking term would be "modern progressivism", which I would summarise as being something like thinking that you can be subconsciously prejudiced against a particular identity and that this is almost or entirely as bad as consciously being so

this conflation is a huge problem. sure, subconscious bias exists. it would be weird if it didn't. and yes it's a problem. but acting like its just as bad as conscious bias basically signals to people who may have a bias here or there might as well be loud and proud about it because you'll treat them the same either way

but in terms of the general population, I think that modern progressives are probably a similar size segment of society as the rabid conservatives, but because that segment contains most of the prominent voices in non-conservative-focused media, a majority of people just nod along or ignore it

Note that there is no such thing as integer underflow. INT_MIN-1 is an overflow just as much as INT_MAX+1.

Only floats can suffer from underflow, which happens when you want to represent a number whose absolute value is smaller than the floating point precision can allow (e.g. trying to represent 1/2^32 in a 32-bit float).

Wholesale rates on electricity can swing quite a bit. I've been watching rates on ERCOT swing from lows of -$1.40/MWh to the current spot of $43/MWh to highs in the few hundred dollar range. It would take a pretty massive capex to hedge it enough to really get a stable return though.

It's definitely been making me itch to put up a lot of solar panels and batteries in a field though, looking at these wholesale rates over the last few years.

I don't think that makes sense given that you'd probably want a full battery in the morning to start your day, and night-time is when you'd want to draw from the battery (assuming solar becomes a much bigger component of grid power).

It's possible I suppose that cities and school districts could have busses that have more capacity than they strictly need, and so it makes sense to use any surplus capacity for grid storage (while maintaining a reasonable margin in case a bus has to make an unexpected trip because some other bus had a flat tire or something).
