> But the effect he discribes in the linked article is a backwards pricing relationship between necessities (food, rent, housing) and non-necessities (TVs, air-fryers, etc.).

That makes sense. But I also think there are simpler explanations, which is that smartphones and TVs are sectors where a lot of effort continues to go into automation and price reduction, and there are still lots of gains to be made there. Those products are also not fundamentally energy-input sensitive - if anything, newer production methods tend to use less energy than previous production methods.

Food production is extremely sensitive to energy and fertilizer prices, which have also gone up significantly. You have to keep a chicken at a particular temperature, or it won't lay eggs. And also, food has just been very cheap for a long time, so it was already at high risk of price increases.

Not one of the complaints in this thread, including the OP, come with any links. Why not let readers see for themselves and make up their own minds?
Yeah exactly, I don’t know how people do it. Other than doing it has a hobby or 2nd job, very hard to make a business out of it.
not true, this is an EU competency so is under Qualified Majority Voting rules
Did they end up buying Intel's wireless division off of them? I believe they already had their own, but buying it for the patents (and transferable patent licenses) would be valuable to them.

If someone won't give you favorable patent terms but you can buy a company that got better ones...

edit: yes, they did (modem division):

https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2019/07/apple-to-acquire-the-...

One potential avenue here is if Apple, with a cellular modem of their own, just includes the modem in all of their devices and cut out a bunch of SKUs.
I never really liked the taste of beer all that much, but it's what everyone else drank, so it's what I drank.

I think that, over time, "people who don't like the taste of beer" are finding they are a silent majority. As more alcohol-but-not-beer options come to market, they keep buying those. I like Kombucha more than beer, now add slightly more alcohol and you have a suitable replacement.

Now imagine this process repeated across every imaginable beverage category that can be sold in stores, and the beer decline is easily explained.
> they use all of the code to built the model

That's not what "portion used" means. If you summarize a book then the portion used is <1%, not the entire book.

> the original code loses its value because you can get through Copilot

That's not even remotely true. You might get a fragment or two but you have to rebuild a program from scratch to replace it.

And as far as "nature of the copyrighted work" it's a completely different beast. It's a programming tool instead of whatever code was fed into it.

Only commerciality is a clear mark against it, and that factor is far from decisive by itself.
Don't most modern systems have baked in lights out management with kvm? I think there was even an open api. So it's a pretty niche hobbyist old system market that already seems price sensitive and if want to be able to powercycle you'd need another solution anyway. Numbers are pretty grim but hardware is hard, esp bootstrapped. It seems like you're definitely playing on hard mode a bit.
No, Yucca mountain (burial site) was mostly for non fuel waste, scientific, and weapons waste. The spent fuel rods were supposed to be moved to above ground storage at the same site until they could be reprocessed or became inert.

Most waste in cooling pools is there to cool, not for storage.. if it is able be moved, then it is moved to a cask.
A gas is quite difficult to detect because it diffuses. This also makes them typically less dangerous because diffusion also means dilution. Levels do matter. Tritium is also pretty low in terms of radioactivity. The radiation cannot penetrate the skin except in very high levels (you can find keychains, watches, gun sights, etc with small bits of tritium and phosphorous to create long term glow objects). Ingestion and inhalation are more serious since your internal organs are more susceptible (see weighted dosage). The real cool thing is that we can measure radiation with high precision and in real time, so we can detect these dangers. Mostly because these devices are cheap.

In addition to the requirement of a more active approach needed to detect ground/water contaminants there are also a larger variety of pollutants that are harmful. Many of these need specific tests, which can consume your samples. Of course we can do pretty good guesstimates for what we should look for, but we do need to recognize that the process is both more fuzzy and more involved. We can grow these projects by making them cheaper, but that's a tall order (it is happening though).

Edit: I do want to note that most radiation detection devices do not distinguish between types of radiation. These differences do matter in danger levels. This can add complications the above but there is a decent signal that is still useful. But as with everything, some expertise and domain knowledge is quite important.
Glad you've enjoyed it! I lived in NYC for the past eight years and returned during covid / when all my work went remote.

It's sad, but I don't really plan on staying. If anything, I'll take irate left wing politics over low IQ pickup truck road rage any day. Austin used to be something special (maybe it's just the way I remember it) and now most of the charm I remember is gone or has been fully commercialized.

Having lived in NYC, I appreciate different attributes of Austin than I did before, but above all as a native I have no understanding why people think austin is cool - IMO it's pretty mid and the weather and allergies are horrible. Also, if you own a home, property taxes quickly erase any illusion of the state being cheaper than other significantly better cities.

Unfortunately, as soon as remote employment wanes a bit I'm probably leaving - but living here for the past few years has been an interesting lesson in how quickly a place can change.

Growing up we didn't really have a routine around bed. If we fell asleep before them it would have been on the couch or some other random place around the house. My parents would just scoop us up as they made their way to their bed and dump us in our beds.

There's plutonium dust in the silt under the Irish Sea, off the coast from Sellafield. Inhaling a single particle of plutonium dust (much smaller than a 'sliver') can kill you. I think your imagination has misled you.
> one of the biggest steps we could take is strong right-to-repair laws

I could not agree more. Thank you for bringing this up.

I think part of why this doesn't turn up more often when green parties try to get elected is that it isn't sexy enough. It is much more fun to imagine building new and shiny stuff or have an opportunity to strongly signal values. But something as boring as laws that would require all manufacturers to design for repairability and banning any manufacturer who even looks like they are trying to limit who can repair stuff, is too boring.

I agree: this would be a very good place to start.
Oh wow, this just unlocked an old memory for me. I had completely forgotten this game exists.

Like you, I had no idea what I was learning when I played it as a kid, but logic has always felt natural since as long as I can remember. Which apparently is a timespan that may have started with this game.
Recently tried the GUI tool for ducks, forgot what's it called, something like 'Tab' and was quite disappointed. I feel duckdb needs a good tool like sqliteviewer to really take off.
The store near me sells 2 gram disposable vapes for $30 after taxes. Those last me two months or so if I'm only using them, so I could actually get my cost down more if I gave up flower. My alcohol costs were admittedly a lot of $3 a can craft beer which definitely adds up fast.
QGIS is amazing. Though I say that as someone with no experience with other GIS packages so I'm blissfully ignorant of anything it might be missing.
I would call it completely unrealistic (asuming we have entered John le Carre territory); Stoltenberg is of a political family in Norway; and I am sure it he was politically active from an early age. While Saigon fell in 1975, the various Vietnam movements countinue as organisations providing support for and cultural exchange with the newly unified (and heavily sanctioned) Vietnam.
Fixed water requirements from tree crop farming in states where water is a concern is the dumbest agri business ever. Tbh most of America's farming sucks, bulk corporate welfare keeps most of it propped up and is used to buffer against the efficiency of global markets and y'all do some incredibly dumb stuff like but farms in water restricted areas.

Personally, I find a lot of truth in what you say but I vehemently disagree with the premise that we should accept death as the price of life.

Of course, we need to be realistic and acknowledge that everyone living will all almost certainly die one day but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't strive for a future without death.

I think that CGP Grey's video, Fable of the Dragon-Tyrant, does a wonderful job arguing this viewpoint.
Best case scenario is to stop updating the OS and wait for a jailbreak, which does allow you to run full virtualization[0].

It's meant to show they're not some no name random company like the GP claims, specifically:

I'm sure there are better ones to use but I just stole the ones used on Wikipedia because I was lazy and the argument as a whole is ludicrous.

That’s true of economic profit, not financial profit, and only true of perfect competition. (In which case, there is also a fixed zero economic profit.)
My iPhone 8 seems to work just fine for installing apps. I'm on iOS 15.6.1, though the [iOS 16 info page][1] claims support for iPhone 8. (I may have chosen not to upgrade to iOS 16 in the past because my 64gb phone is chronically low on storage, and the upgrade will use an additional 2gb of storage.)

the PS Vita and the community behind it are a real marvel. The hardware is fantastic and has held up really well. I have one and i upgraded the battery, jailbroke the software… and i now have a fantastic emulation device in addition to full access to the PS Vita and PSX catalogues. Both are immense and the games are enjoyable.

I hope the steam deck goes down the same path and am eagerly waiting for prices to drop on the used market.
Tolerances vary wildly when it comes to weed. I know people who need literally 10x my "I want to be very high" dose to get sorta-high. Weed's expensive for them, but very cheap for me. I probably spend $400ish per year on it and have some almost daily (and our weed prices are nearly double what states with better markets are—ours was deliberately designed to allow political insiders to rent-seek).

> 100 in a month on alcohol seems about right if youre an alcoholic (or if you're buying your drinks at a bar)

You can hit $100/month fast without having that high an intake or buying like you're royalty. Good sipping liquor's hard to come by under $50/750ml, so, 50ml/day and you're probably over $100/month. The wine market's real hit-or-miss (and mostly miss) under $15/bottle (in the US) and a lot of what one might wish to experience, flavor-wise, barely exists at all under $20/bottle. Good beer has been moving toward four-packs priced well in the teens of dollars, single 12-ouncers at $3-7, and $15+ bombers, over the last few years.

Of course if you just want to get hammered and don't care what it tastes like, $100 will get you really far, that's true.
It is based on whether the low bit of the jump target is 0 or 1, but the first version of Thumb only did that check-and-switch-mode on a small set of jump instructions, not on every way you could alter the program counter. For the others you got the same behaviour you always had for an attempt to jump to an unaligned address, which is to say the low bit was just ignored. The compiler had to generate slightly different code if you wanted your function to support interworking. In the versions of Thumb starting with IIRC Armv5t or maybe v6t2, more instructions did the mode switch check, and codegen got a bit simpler.
Depends on definition of fresh. I like fresh bread and so make it at home. One can definitely bulk-buy ingredients for fresh bread.
I fear that these devices are going to become less and less usable, not because they arent physically operable, but instead because companies like Apple are allowing them to become bricks if the owner doesn't pre-empt their demise or recycling. It's done today in the name of theft deterrence, but once these machines end up in drawers and storage lockers for years, I doubt most people will be able to unlock them successfully, rendering them sadly useless.
Yes, that's the point. The issue is flamewar drama. No programming language is banned on HN.
Who would complain?
The fact that the most publicly visible spokesperson for nuclear energy is regularly on Fox News saying that Climate Change isn't a big deal, is mind blowing to me. That's like it's number one selling point, and their salesman is pretending it's not real.

How is this better than a line in the language itself?
But unlocking the bootloader, even only once official major updates has stopped, is a risky business move due to activation lock and Find My iPhone.

If they did this, there's a good chance phone theft creeps back to high levels, since thieves could just

1. wait until Apple releases new firmware that unlocks the bootloader

2. use that new firmwaare to wipe the memory that handles activation lock

3. re-install a fresh iOS

4. resell the phone

iPhone 8's still go for over $100 on eBay, so it's not unprofitable to 'inventory' stolen phones by throwing them in a desk drawer to sell within a few years.

I'm actually surprised by the degree to which business travel has bounced back--especially given that in the tech sector anyway, a lot of companies are scrutinizing travel expenses very carefully.

Interesting. Probably one of the first legitimate uses of “blockchain” I’ve seen, though curious to see if the industry would actually use it
eBay horror story time.

I sold a used robot vacuum on eBay. Someone purchased it. Then they immediately asked for a refund. I tried to process the refund, but was not able to because between the time I had listed my auction and when it ended, eBay implemented a different payments platform that required sellers to provide their SSN and address.

So, I told the seller I was not able to process their return, and that customer support would need to step in and assist. (not interested in providing this info to eBay and not part of the terms and conditions I agreed to when I listed the auction.) so eBay closed the case “in the buyers favor” and refunded them. I thought that was the end of it.

The next time I went to list an item, I expected to need to enter my SSN and other details and was prepared for this, but I was greeted with the message “your account has been suspended, pay <cost of the vacuum> to restore your account.” In eBays shitty new system this meant I was on the hook for this transaction because customer service processed the refund, not me.

At least five different support calls to tier 1 support were unfruitful and ended with me being disconnected, or the agent implying that I was trying to pull a scam and _then_ disconnecting. When I finally spoke with an on-shore tier 2 agent he had the same attitude that I was trying to scam eBay for a petty amount of money.

I finally got through that the situation was as if I had put an item in a consignment store, and a customer purchased that item, then changed their mind before leaving the store and asked for a refund. When I returned to the store weeks later, the shopkeeper told me that the item wasn’t sold, but I owed them the price of the item because a customer purchased and returned it. They finally refunded all but $0.30. I was too beaten down at this point to fight it further so I gave them my CC for the petty charge and got my account back. I haven’t used them to sell anything since that absurd experience, but unfortunately eBay’s pricing is unmatched for a lot of markets.
I would say the operation went off as planned. The capacity to ship gas on Nord Stream 1 was cut, but luckily, the pipeline hadn't been in use for a month at the time. According to this site, https://berthub.eu/gazmon/ , In March 2020, 100-150 GW of Gas went from Russia to EU, right before the pipeline cut, that had gone down to 50GW, and after the cut it dropped to 30GW.

So the question is, what was the strategic effect for the US, Ukraine, and/or Russia to have done this?

My take, its almost as good for Russia to play victim than it is for the US to cut Russia's Gas. It would be interesting to see how dominant this story was in Russia, given the Ukrainian advances in late 2022.
Good for you that you can choose only the best.

Both viewpoints make sense; whether Rust is good for prototyping depends on the domain.

If it fits the borrow checker well (like in CLI apps, stateless servers, data transformation) then the borrow checker fits beautifully and seamlessly.

In other settings (complex turn-based games, some compilers, GUI), the borrow checker can cause some artificial complexity and prototyping slowdowns compared to other paradigms.
People are right to be cynical and critical of the GME fundamentals. It's a meme, not an investment.
They say past performance does not guarantee future results…
I'd like to also echo this. Best analysis of the history behind the anti-nuclear craze of the 60s and 70s is basically Russia infiltrated the Hippie Movement of the 60s to exploit the "government is bad" soft anarchism (=minarchism) in the movement to delay America from getting a leg up.

For the past 100+ years, Russia has been one of the largest energy players in the world, bigger than Saudi Arabia. You can see this today in the Russian Invasion in Ukraine, as Germany tries to comply with the international regulations and shut the Russian Nord Stream pipeline off and can't; Russia has a stranglehold on everyone on that side of the world.

So, given that, they feared an America that could meet its energy needs without pollution, heavy investment, and significant cost; while Russia was literally killing its own people to make the oil and gas flow as a cost of doing business. Thus, they slipped right in and used the Hippies to astroturf an anti-nuclear position.

Reagan may have torn down that wall, but Russia won the cold war; and then they made sure, post-Soviet, to make sure we'd never attain energy independence. The end result of that trainwreck is currently under investigation by the FBI as per the recommendations of the Jan 6th Committee.

Not OP, but it is incorrect terminology. An investor is someone who buys with the intention to hold and expects to generate income or capital appreciation. Investors care about the fundamentals and the long-term outcome.

These case studies are all people that jumped in and tried to make a short-term profit off of market trends. This is very risky and akin to gambling; the formal terminology though is speculator, not investor.
"They will take leftover rock from a defunct asbestos mine in Quebec, extract magnesium hydroxide—an antacid that is the main component in milk of magnesia—and stir it into water flowing into the ocean from a sewage treatment plant. The company hasn’t announced the location of the experiment."

I hope they don't end up with asbestos sand dunes.

The graphic shows mining of limestone with some cute little trucks hauling the rock it about. I would have thought using a marine source would cut the on-land middleman. Then again, I don't know if it's enough to simply mine and crush some rocks from under the sea and send plumes of carbonate sediment into the gulf stream to be distributed far and wide. One man's turbid shores might be another's carbon sink.
For decades the federal government's management of the market rules have paralleled state government's management of lotteries.. There's a definite risk of bubbles dragging a whole bunch of people into a "sure thing" period which then has to unwind like any other pyramid scheme. Hence the headline.
Our national energy company EDF has been the largest energy exporter in Europe for ages, in 2019 it was the largest in the world. In addition to that it's made us the cleanest country in the continent for close to 40 years (along with hydro-rich countries).
The notion that 2022 is a smoking gun for nuclear is ridiculous. All it reflects is the past 12 years of successive liberal governments writing laws and reforms to gut our nuclear fleet and EDF in favour of private companies.
