I do two things, about once per day, and never both at once:

2) Off-grid back-up of less-sensitive stuff to Google Drive.

I also occasionally put a key backup off-site, eg I just gave a 5GB tarball of my key SVN repo to a friend to put on their backup system!

I think it comes down to use. Web crawlers like Google are fine because they index the web and then the search engine directs users to the original source. If instead Google recycled all the content they crawled and hosted everything on google.com while scrubbing all attributions from the pages then they’d fall afoul of copyright law (specifically the moral rights [1]).

Yes, though at this point I'd say this is old news and table stakes, so I expect everyone to be using this type of data already. As an example, Orbital Insights began tracking 250k parking lots across 96 retail chains at least all the way back to 2017. Same for things like monitoring gas silo levels via satellite imagery, etc. If you read it on the blog of one of the many sat image providers I would assume there to be no more competitive advantage to be had, unless you can read additional information from that data that other traders might have missed.

> XHTML was not backwards compatible

Sure?

I think it was HTML4 that was not forwards compatible.

XML is a subset of SGML, and HTML4 was SGML. XHTML was / is XML. So HTML4 parsers (as being SGML parsers) shouldn't have issues with XHTML.

It's the other way around: XML parsers don't like HTML. So the attempt failed to change the default parsers to XML; as old webpages had than issues, and the web crowd didn't like to fix that. People wanted to continue to use the horrible SGML mess—only because nobody wanted to touch their HTML4.

So Google created their own web "standards council" and ignored the W3C henceforth. The rest is history.
I didn’t, but you seem to need to do so.
Electricity is bloat.
Matching the battery size to the necessary capacity is a probable issue, especially where GVW and drag coefficient increase.

In the case of tractor-trailers, effective range remains on the order of single-digit miles / km, though I suspect keeping total vehicle weight within limits is a major part of that as well.

Yes, the undercarriage affords a large potential battery storage volume, but that's not the only consideration.

Range-extending battery trailers is a concept I've been suggesting for a number of years --- that would apply to standard passenger vehicles as well, and would also make for shorter charge-stops as the entire trailer could be swapped out. Battery condition and the usual issues of distributed / common ownership would of course be factors.
No you're not. Even the worst USB-C cable is better than lightning. An iPhone doesn't charge another device. So you're good.

I've liked and played in the past a lot of these text based role playing games, especially when I was on a shittier dial up connection or remote satellite connections. I liked Aardwolf and Realms of Despair the most. I've played the IRE games like Achaea and Aetolia way too much. While those two definitely have a great lore and many active players, I have always loathed IREs pay to win "credits" style.

Text based gaming is still alive and evolving. Just don't expect a AAA game and definitely not single player.

Universities are still using Matlab. It's effectively "free" thanks to generous site licenses, and there's a lot of mature curriculum built up around it. The academics in my family (mostly physical sciences) would say "just use Matlab" and consider everything else to be unnecessary fuss.

Python installation is a headache in a classroom setting. Matlab provides an official installer that guarantees that every kid in the class has a working installation and the same user environment by the time the lesson starts.

It seems like Python and R have taken up residence in fields that had no prior loyalty to Matlab, such as biology.

What I've noticed is that where new graduates used to list Matlab on their resumes, now they list Python. In both cases, whether they can actually do anything useful with it or not. Many of those people didn't actually learn to program. Depending on what courses they took, exposure to Matlab or Python may have consisted of pasting some code written by the TA and running it. Students are not unaware that Python is associated with the job market for programmers -- a career "Plan B" that many are considering. At the same time, if someone can program in Matlab, they can learn Python in a jiffy, or vice versa, so it's not a life-or-death choice.

Whether they actually want to use Matlab or Python in their jobs probably depends on what industry they're in, and their interests. None of the traditional engineers in my workplace (mechanical, electrical) do any programming to speak of. Their CAD software does the engineering calculations that they need. For basic data manipulation, including graphing, they're happy with Excel.
You're preaching a completely false dichotomy here, especially given that much of the research is publicly funded or heavily based upon existing public research, anyway.

I have to hard disagree on the reasonableness of a licensed image. Firstly, I’m the one framing the shot. This isn’t a photographer making art, this is me paying a company to point a camera at xyz coordinates and capture the earth as it is, unprocessed. So if I personally plan out the perfect beautiful shot, now SkyFi gets to pitch it to others to make additional money off it?

Secondly, calling this “democratized” satellite imagery is a farce. Democratized to me means here’s the pixels you bought, it’s yours to do whatever you want with.

Exactly, we think in terms of interfaces. The apollo moon mission technical history is a good example. At a high level there is a big diagram with things like transmissions and modules drawn as single blocks. We define how those blocks need to interact with eachother. Then teams of engineers work on each block, designing and making each block to do what it was defined to do on that big flow chart. Each part is tested to its interfaces (which can be mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, control, etc) and if each part does what it's supposed to the whole thing should.

I'm tired of people claiming that this war is all about other countries and their complicated geo-political agendas: the US, Germany, Russia. Why do America's reasons for wanting Ukraine to join NATO, or Russia's reasons for wanting to stop them matter so much? Ukraine wanted to join. That is enough. NATO has expanded because all those countries wanted to join.
I mean... arguably. On the whole I'd probably agree with you - the US business schools seem to be having disastrous long term impacts on the economy (although good stock growth and profits - hence the drastic inequality we're seeing right now).

But the way companies operate mean it's not you or me who gets to decide who's valuable... it's the company executives.
That episode of Community also explicitly referred to the black face as a "hate crime." I don't think it's so much a matter of interpretation as that was the direct gag they were going for.

Do we know who actually pulled the content? Netflix clearly doesn't have a policy against streaming partial amount of content when they can't get it all from a provider but it's not clear to me if Netflix pulled a single episode of Community or if the licensers maybe refused to license that episode. I think I read that Sony was supportive of the episode being pulled.

I think most of this content will come back once the industry as a whole sort of figures out the positioning. There are something the creators are embarrassed by and it might never come back but I expect there to be a new rating or something similar (Disney+ does this already) where they'll indicate before the media plays that it may be offensive or insensitive. News shows do this when covering certain types of crimes.

Given that you're new to development, you'll probably lack the sway to get people onboard with just words. It's likely that the team already knows about testing and the benefits of it (its not a secret, the text is everywhere,) and yet they choose to not do it still. They believe tests will slow them down, probably based on past experience, and using the words of people who are not there on the front lines is unlikely to sway them.

To get out of that situation, I'd recommend leading by example and showing how you have personally managed to use tests, in the space they are operating in, to make your life better and develop faster. Once you have something that has provably worked for you, you can start evangelizing it and onboarding other people.

Tesla vs. Ford – 100 Years Apart
Honestly, I would say you definitely might be. But I understand the wanderlust. It will be freeing at the beginning, but that life won't be there when you come back, and even if it is, the love won't be the same because _you left_. You left. An innocence the relationship had is lost. You will now change in different ways from one another. And you will now each tell yourselves stories about the other that don't match up.

Some advice is that you have to decide to stop loving your partner now. If you leave, what you've left is gone. Forever. You can't have it back. You don't get to have your cake and eat it too. You left. It's over. If you meet someone else, don't list the ways in which your connection with them isn't as ineffably beautiful as what you had, because the world outside of relationships hardens people. You may never have that feeling of home back in your life.

To be in a relationship is to deny the world. You chose the world. Own it, accept it. You were not fit for a relationship.

For the record, the template is there because it works. Life can go sideways more than you'd imagine is possible. It can obviously be a great decision you'll look back on as being a great decision. But you've tossed away something precious. You don't get to do that scot-free. You're different a person now.

What is with all the homeless people so against shelters?

In every interview of a homeless person, every time someone asks them about taking them to shelter for help, they recoil in fear and say "No, they steal/are violent/evil." etc...

I have no doubt that homeless people are treated poorly by society. Maybe they are also treated poorly by shelters. But I can't believe how common the general dislike/avoidance of shelters seems to be.
Running Linux on it is not the solution, as there is no documentation. Volunteers have been reverse engineering the GPU, but they still don't know whether their assumptions are all correct.

SkyFi team here. We did fight hard to make the minimum size of the image lower than current industry standards. Many use cases don't need large swaths and it helps bring down the minimum price – making it more accessible. We also have one individual EULA for all of our data providers which is not currently standard for the industry. We are working on leading the Earth observation industry towards transparent pricing. It makes it a lot easier for the customer, which is our primary focus.

San Francisco is not the only major city that suffered a pandemic. Why did people decide to leave San Francisco at much higher rates than any other major city?

The case for curiosity-driven research (Suzie Sheehy)
I've seen enough edge cases of "let me run the latest kernel on a Thinkpad T22 for shits" to not understand why to disturb these things unless it frees up a significant amount of space or resources or had some deep bleeding security vuln in them.

That and I wouldn't be surprised if some old VIA integrated systems are still running embedded / industrial applications and would prefer the latest drivers just to maintain the basic security of whatever they are running (eg power plant infrastructure). Seems unnecessary to cut such systems off like that.

I agree, just want to add a couple updates in case folks are interested in getting involved.

> The US Navy manages all the food/fuel/housing logistics.

These days, actually I think since shortly after you were there, this is handled by (sub)contractors. "Antarctic Support Contract" is the phrase to search for, currently Leidos, Lockheed before that, Raytheon before that. US Military flies the LC-130s and C-17s, operates the ships, but has little other involvement.

> Early in the season the ice is thick enough to land jets like the C-5 and C-17. While they are in the ground, they have to move them every few hours to keep the ice from cracking under all that weight. By this time in the season it's probably just C-130s doing everything. Once the sun goes back down, all flights cease and there is nothing can get out for 9 months.

This has changed a bit too. For a very long time, there has been another runway on permanent ice (called "Pegasus" after a plane that crashed out there, as opposed to the "Ice Runway" that I think you're referring to, which is on annual ice just out of town) which can handle wheeled aircraft (C-17, chartered commercial passenger planes) in summer. Pegasus historically wasn't used a lot because it's inconvenient and the soot+dirt+wear isn't good for the ice surface.

At least for a few years recently they've routinely done a few flights over winter in to McMurdo - I believe the idea was to support a year-round rebuild of the whole station. But, the McMurdo winter was traditionally more like 6 months ending with "winfly" when a couple flights bring in people to open up the station for "mainbody" aka summer. Pole winter is roughly 9 months, driven by the temperatures being too cold for the hydraulics in the LC-130s.
