as he said, there's a difference between disliking the taste of something and something physically making you ill (i.e. it making you cough and feel terrible). i.e. your body is telling you "this is poison". so yeah, you can acclimate to the poison, but its still poison. Even if one considers ethanol to be poison, the first consumptions of it (say in wine) doesn't give the same reaction.

The 3 minute delay for wake turbulence is required by ATC procedures (when applicable). It can only be waived by the pilot in specific situations, and only by the pilots request.

It's built into the procedures, expected, and is totally acceptable.

EVs with BrakeFlow resistive protection against thermal runaway also will have a big impact –– allowing for faster discharge into the grid. Increasing cRate for grid services can "bring forward" the point in time –– so 2030 could even happen a few years sooner if these high performance batteries from Enovix come to the EV market soon.
Good advice. It reads like the start of a modern corporate version of "The Prince".

It would benefit autocratic dictatorial Asians certainly, at the expense of Asian democracies.

Those of us who believe in liberal democracy will need to stand up for it. We can no longer take it for granted, even at home.
you should write a substack or a podcast. Lots of ppl are oblivious to this stuff.
It is not true, but they do make it very hard in some places and as a group utilities do kind of hate the idea. Almost all states require net metering, which what allows people to sell their solar to the grid, and there is some federal regulation too (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_Policy_Act_of_2005). Despite these requirements most utilities make it pretty hard to set up.
The current title is also wrong: it's not a CT scan, but rather a PET/CT scan (with the emphasis on the PET, which requires injection with a radiotracer).

I heard that prefab components required a lot more rigor and accuracy of the foundation so they go together as planned. This in turn does not go well together with builder that prefer to work hourly rates and cut to suit on site.

A timber frame alone is not really much prefab? Should we not make whole walls with internal and external cladding (whatever tech selected), cables and pipes or a least conduits?

That never used to be the case back in the 3/4/5 era when I sold them for a living. Any hunch as to why that would change?
> If off-grid is competitive, selling at peak prices is a no brainer.

So why isn't the utility managing the storage directly then? Aren't they best suited to do this???

Or is this article just saying that EV car batteries could?
The Taiwanese scooter company Gogoro recently announced something similar: Their scooters come with swappable batteries that you rent. The swapping station they have throughout the city are basically walls full of batteries. Since the company owns all the batteries, they can then use them to provide power to the grid during peak load.

There is no such "contempt". You're misunderstanding the world view of middle-America.

Their motivations, however misplaced and due to misunderstandings, are about fairness, justice and functioning government. The simple truth is that, to many Americans, the idea of "working from home" means "not really working".

They believe that people in the office will do real work, whereas those same people at home won't. It's a wrong and harmful worldview, but it's not malicious or coming from a place of contempt. A solid "never attribute to malice ..." moment.
This is a good example of how ADDITIONAL safety systems can sometime become the de-facto safety system. A similar problem can happen with firearms, where if a mechanical safety is on, people sometimes disregard other rules of safe firearm handling, leading to accidents.

Pilots have a lot of info coming in at any given time, and there has been a move to reduce the amount of info, so they can focus on the more important items. The answer isn't always more warning lights or alarms.

They're in a "look at these examples of Marxism" bubble just like you're in a "look at these examples of Randian philosophy" bubble. The truth is that you're both wrong and the reality is a lot more complex (and a lot more interesting).

> A comparable situation to a narrative-driven TV show being cancelled on a cliffhanger would be if your copy of Dune cut off right after Paul meets Chani and the rest of the book is missing.

Sure, I’m fine with that analogy too. The second half of the book missing doesn’t retroactively diminish the first half. (I’ll allow that maybe you only get some of the enjoyment of the first half when you actually finish the book rather than when you actually read it, but it’s not a retroactive change.)
Nobody begrudges Twitter the right to (the opportunity to) make money. It's not clear why they decided not to work with the clients. They could have put ads into the API feeds and required that clients not filter them out, or some such thing.

And it's fine that they didn't. It's even fine that they shut down the API. But the lack of communication is ridiculous. Just tell people what the fuck is happening. They don't have to like it, but complete ghosting is the way you burn bridges completely down.
And Twitter needs advertisers more than advertisers need Twitter. Maybe there are exceptions but I can't imagine Twitter is this uniquely wonderful channel for the vast bulk of advertisers.

So one 1 out of 20 are getting let go. Looking around near 50 employee company I work for I easily see 2.5 employees I would let go just because they're near useless. Hell, I'd say it's at least 5.

I'd say unless you've got a good manager, really good hiring, and are keeping close tabs on the technical people (just to make clear, I'm one of them those technical people) I figure you've at least got 1 our of 20 you should just be sacking on principle.
As long as it's clear that it's an initial exploration and that not everything is possible yet, sure. It was clear to me, though admittedly I'm probably paying closer attention than most, so I'm not representative — it might indeed be that communication could have been better.
Part of the issue isn't the controls to do that it's that the prices to compensate wear on a battery are a) likely significantly higher than the base price and b) pretty hard to calculate.

"No, not like that."

ZFS-on-Linux (now OpenZFS) comes out of LLNL, for example.
It sounds like the approach is to set aside e.g. 11 bytes for an i32 field and write or read all 11 of them on each access, and to do similar things for strings, such that their lengths must be bounded up-front. It's interesting, but it requires a bit of work from the end user, and to be polite one may want to remove all the extra spaces before sending the data over the wire to a program that isn't using these techniques.
All PR is meant to sell something. Those with M1s are mostly already happy (and most of those in-the-know crowd are aware that M2 isn't as big a step up from M1).

It is all on Google as the lack of a market fit is absurdly obvious.

In theory, cloud-only gaming would make it possible for low budget gamers to experience high budget gaming. To play games they normally can't run because they can't afford the hardware. That should be the entire point of moving heavy compute to the cloud.

That theory doesn't work out because the network requirements to make this playable correlate with people that are NOT on a budget. Plus, you still have to pay full price for individual games, so in any case it's not low budget gaming.

Which brings into view the more likely target audience: the convenience gamer or "dad gamer". Gamers constrained by time but not money.

When you game infrequently yet consistently, a console is still the superior deal. They are heavily subsidized hardware, don't have the network overhead for rendering, a very long lifecycle (7 years), a huge selection of games, additional functionality (a media center for your TV), supports fully offline games, and are backed by actual gaming companies rather than the erratic toddler named Google.

Why would you possibly go for Stadia? To experiment? To not want to commit to owning a console? Fine, all valid. But you can't seriously think that's a sizable market. Simple market research or basic common sense should have revealed this prior to this disaster.

I'm especially calling it a disaster because during launch, Google got roasted with questions about the platform being future-proof, given their questionable reputation. They promised to commit this time, for real. Just 14 months later their internal game studio got shutdown, and things started rolling from there.

Zero market research and just throwing things at the wall, business as usual. Any other company being this unreliable would have been out of business long ago, but Google's arrogance knows no bounds as it prints money with ads.

They should not be celebrated for a graceful shutdown. They should be thought of as an unserious business to avoid. Don't ever put anything of value (time, money, energy, emotion) into a Google product.

They haven't said so yet -- perhaps they'll clarify on the call tomorrow -- but they'll probably take down new debt to make this happen; it's a good time to go to the markets, and a lot of their cash is parked overseas. Fitch recently announced they're withdrawing their ratings for MSFT debt, so that's probably an indication they expect a significant amount of the purchase price to come from new issuances.

Are there lots of examples of people who were defrauded by a completely fake product like this, called amazon 31 days later, and were denied a refund? I've not seen any discussions of this.

My understanding of the scam is that the victims wouldn't notice for a long time, or even fully understand that they were scammed. Given they are buying from a product category that doesn't actually exist, they are not tech-savvy and would just use it in the inferior capacity or throw it away assuming they did something wrong.

Intuitively, I suspect running everything with the PLL clock would have been best, as crossing clock domains is itself a source of pains.

Also, I'd ensure I feed the clock network with the PLL output. Not using the clock network is also a potential source of issues.
classic IC answer

The nature paper seems to assume the car is doing a fast discharge to supply enough energy to the grid, so something like supercharging-- probably not the best on the battery. Tesla only warranties 375 cycles, so not sure what you mean? The 18 cents/kWh already assumes a more generous 1,000 cycles.

The $12,000 battery pack replacement cost is current market price, including any recycling or potential reuse of old pack.

Edit: actual battery replace including labor is $16,550 from a receipt https://www.currentautomotive.com/how-much-does-a-tesla-mode...
It really depends on what you're storing and how you need to access the content to meet performance requirements. A simple example of where flatbuffers shines is in TCP flows or in Kafka where each message is a flatbuffer. In Kafka, the message size and type can be included in metadata. In TCP, framing is your responsibility. Serializing a message queue to a flat file is reasonable and natural.

Regarding files-as-C-structs: That isn't (necessarily) harebrained (if you can trust the input), Microsoft Word .DOC files were just memory dumps. However, twiddling bits inside a flatbuffer isn't recommended per the documentation; rather, the guidance is to replace the entire buffer. If you don't want to manage the IO yourself, then a key/value store that maps indices to flatbuffers is entirely possible. I'd suggest a look at Redis.

When at first you don't succeed, redefine success?
Agreed, there is a lot of information out there. Some of this can be examined through scientific research, I agree, but the rest is ideological. I think it is important to distingush between the two.

The brain research aims to answer the question of whether there is any fundamental neurobiological reason that some people experience strong feelings of gender incongruence. That link you found is somewhat out of date, by the way - more recent studies that control for homosexuality show correlations between this and some sex atypical brain structures and activation patterns. The only significant correlation with gender dysphoria found so far is in brain regions known to relate to body perception. And even then, researchers don't know if this is innate or due to post-natal experiences. Much more research needs to be done.

This is fascinating, but, it doesn't answer any of the questions on the extent to which society, law and policy should be reorganized to accommodate people who say they have a gender identity that doesn't match their sex. There's no objective, empirical measurement to support anyone's claim of an alternative gender identity. Nor is there any scientific backing for ideas such as "male woman" or "woman's penis". Choosing to believe such claims, and the manner in which they are acted upon - often controversially in modern times, e.g. by housing males in women's prisons, letting males compete in women's sports, and so on - is an ideological stance.

So I think it's very reasonable for the Science Museum to reject this particular exhibit, seeing as it included no scientific research, and only promoted a specific ideological viewpoint regarding gender identity.
Thanks so much for this thoughtful answer!

I'll refer to his first, of course I'll go to the doctor for anything serious :) I'm trying to optimize for less severe things that can be VERY difficult to diagnose, if only because they can have so many reasons causing them, and the lack of resources due to their low severity.

This is something I'm trying to do, but was looking into a better way to track and follow up on. I was thinking for example, it can be potentially easy to see a correlation between back pains and a new type of work out I started to do. I'm trying to track these kind of things and see if I find correlations (will try better, automated analysis soon too).

Thanks for the reference for Quest Diagnostics, will check it out!

Cool system you have implemented there! May I ask if you have a way to process and analyze the data? Do you feel a need to?

wrt to voice assistant automation- someone mentioned here in the comments they use the Google assistant to add stuff to keep or notes, maybe you can try using something like this, combined with another automation to store the data in your preferred structure? (I tried something similar before developing the app, but without using voice assistant and with possibly simpler, structured data and it worked well).

the "real" time-based prices have much more variability, if you have time-based prices you can buy for a lot less and sell for a lot more during peak. That difference can easily be double that 18 cents/kWh.

It gets even worse for you when you start to realize the how many people aren't even counted because they're homeless for mere days due to being kicked out, unexpected circumstances, etc.

What you're thinking of are what's known as "chronically homeless" and your challenge is showing both that drug users are a significant portion of those who are homeless for under 100 days and that those who are not drug users are a significant portion of the chronically homeless.

The whole "falling inflation" meme, spreading all over traditional media, is a huge astroturf.

Inflation at 6-something percent might be a bit lower than 9 percent, but it is 3 times higher than normal, and Fed targets. It's like slowing down from 90 mph to 65 mph in a residential neighborhood with kids around -- you're still deep in the danger zone.

The other part is people's lack of understanding that even if inflation is dropping, prices are rising. And at 6 percent, they are rising fast, starting from a base of record-high prices.
