Ah, yes you are right!

If we do need to triple the grid's copper, that would indeed result in unpaid externalities because of poor mining practices.

Hopefully, the grid doesn't need to triple because of local storage. If it does, hopefully, the recyleability of copper makes the one time cost of mining and refining a smaller externality.

You shouldn't cite things that you don't understand as "evidence". Take traditional Mayan belief systems for instance. They didn't involve any ideas about space travel or panspermia. The many different stories we have remaining broadly agree on a few themes that are shared with many other American cultures, namely that mankind was created by the gods out of natural materials (often corn or clay), which serves as moral reinforcement for our intimate connection to the earth.

The pleiades also weren't seen as the direction of a planet humans came from, they're just religiously important stars that may mark the date of creation. The qualifier may is used here because documentary evidence records this belief around the contact period, but it's not known whether it was believed when the calendars were initially created. The Mayans were fantastic astronomers and absolutely could have worked backwards from a later date.

Obviously, this is problematic as it would be implemented currently, since age verification is necessarily tied to state identification, meaning that you're forced to give up your privacy to verify your age.

If there was a good way to verify age without needing my full identity, I'd probably be in favor of something like this. God knows I'd prefer my kids don't have access to porn (although I'm not 100% sure I think they shouldn't be able to access it at all until they're 18, they're currently young enough that a total ban is correct).

A few years back, some blockchain enthusiast was extolling to me the virtues of a blockchain backed identity system where you could provide some kind of verified attestation based on a credential - for example, I could use it to prove I'm 18 to the porn site without also giving forth all the other information on my ID.

One of the more interesting ideas I've heard for blockchain. I don't know enough about the topic to know if a chain is _necessary_ for that use case, but I like the idea of being able to verify information in a minimally invasive way.

The saving grace is that there could be alternative options. But the law should allow for even more options, such as eFuels. The way it is written is not particularly open-minded or designed in a feasible way.

2035 is not very far off for the type of infrastructure changes needed. This will have be a landslide of investment, and it could all go to waste regardless.
I'm not saying "put it back in the box", I'm saying fix it to actually track Open Source licenses and provide attributions.

I'd have no objections to a tool that generated suggestions that came with attributions and license metadata, ready to insert into your project's file for third-party licenses. AI code suggestions are impressive.

I have objections to a tool that generates derived works from code without respecting the licenses of that code. For permissively licensed Open Source code, including that code without attribution deprives authors of their due credit (said credit often being how people get employment or funding). For copyleft Open Source code, including that code without using a compatible license violates the conditions upon which people made that code available for others to build upon and share. For proprietary code, including that code at all incurs legal risks.
This is how you end up with massive tech debt though right? Replacing a dependency is going to be more expensive than writing something yourself, especially if it’s been around a long time.

> The pirate movement might have been a bit early for their time, but if AI happen to be the technology advancement needed for society to abolish copyright law then lets get it done.

No argument there; that'd be a huge victory.

But until that happens, tools for "smart completions" need to provide appropriate licensing and attribution metadata.
Let's distinguish two different assertions:

1. The decision in the past was sensible at the time given what the people making that decision knew/believed/were incentivized to optimize for, versus;

2. It's worth knowing what was on their mind when they made the decision.

I think the two are independent. It could be that there is no good reason for a choice people made, but it's still helpful to look into whether they had a reason, and not just assume there was no good reason without looking into it. I personally think assuming there's no good reason for a decision without looking into it is "picking up nickels off of railroad tracks."

You save a little time if you don't try to find out whether there was a reason, and most of the time your hunch that there was no good reason will be correct. And some of the time, if there was a good reason, it no longer applies, so you are saving time not looking into that reason.

But once in a while, there was a good reason and it reflects some constraint or requirement that is still relevant. It doesn't mean you can't change the thing, but it does mean that you should address the constraint or requirement as part of your proposed change.

If you never look into the reason, once in a while you will miss something. Another comments suggested "move fast and break things," i.e. Make the change and if something breaks, fix it then. That's a strategy too, but some things don't work that way. For example, some code might fix a bug that applies to one valuable customer, and if you change the code without knowing about the bug fix, you will find out about it via an irate customer.

In some cases, the cost of an irate customer once in a while is much bigger than all the time saved not looking into things. Or maybe it's a security thing, in which case one vulnerability might be extremely expensive to deal with.

I agree with you that not all decisions made in the past are worth taking into account when making changes, but in my n=1 experience looking into things is cheap insurance against the times when there is a hidden requirement or constraint that has material impact on your business. And when I frame it in my mind as insurance, I don't mind looking into 99 things that turn out to be immaterial: The 1 time it is material makes all 100 investigations worthwhile for me.
What a strange mix of corporate financials and retail product specs. The first sentence implies that “mobile deposits” are of a kind with interest- and non-interest bearing deposits. The last sentence talk about the process of making a deposit into your own account.

The middle two sentences actually answer the question regarding the total volume of deposits across the bank.

Verdict: Still useful! Non sequitor-ish, but better than SEO spam :)

This is an interesting problem for sure. I don't know enough about portage internals to know whether it could be fixed easily, but it would be very nice to have.

So far I haven't really ran into any consistency issues caused by non-atomic upgrades. The only thing that comes to mind is needing to restart a zsh instance that was running during an upgrade that included it, and Firefox will sometimes tell me it needs to restart!

I have a fairly fast CPU (ryzen 3900x) so the time spent in an inconsistent state is probably much shorter than it is for others, I suppose this is why it's never bothered me before.
You can have a sharp corner and you still won’t get a Norton’s dome in every case. There’s definitely something there, but it’s not obvious to me what it is. It does sometimes happen in physics that we throw away valid solutions to differential equations that are “physically impossible”, and I guess this falls in that category. Other examples are not immediately coming to mind unfortunately.

But yea I don’t think this shows anything general about Newtonian mechanics.

I readily accept that this strategy has worked for you. In my particular case, I work with customers and software where making a change, pushing it to production, and finding out that I missed a key requirement when it breaks is sometimes unacceptably consequential.

But that may not be true for everyone. If making changes and seeing what does or doesn't break is a successful strategy for you, go for it.
One of the things one might want to get out of this is a programming language that feels like human speech but is unambiguous to computers.

I don't know, I've worked countless 60-70 hour weeks at a restaurant... some days both opening and closing the place... and food service just doesn't seem comparable.

Perhaps fishing or working on a boat is similar, but many of those jobs allow for weeks or even months off at a time.
Long running sessions seems pretty straightforward. The cost of an SPA is heavily front-loaded, so the longer you have the app open, the more that cost can be spread.

Authenticated content is likely for a mix of reasons. It can't be indexed, so doesn't need to optimize for SEO. Users that log in are higher intention, so they're less likely to bounce if the page loads slowly.

It's definitely more complex than just these things, but the inverse (an app that requires SEO and minimal upfront costs) are often used as justifications for moving away from modern frameworks.
Yeah, I'd never heard of it until it was blocked on YouTube.

What other things? I can think of multiple other situations just in media where this hasn't worked: NFLX, AMZN, Overwatch League, YouTube Gaming/Facebook Gaming/Mixer...there are specific instances of companies doing the opposite (i.e. DIS, they just acquire something working and just pound out low-risk additive investments...and DIS only started doing this after, you guessed it, missing on some very high-risk, big budget investments like John Carter) and it working very well.

But I wasn't even thinking of media. I think it happens most with M&A where a company makes a land-grab investment that is fundamentally defensive in character (I think Spotify felt they needed original content), and it almost never works because it largely comes from execs feeling the need to juice numbers for comp packages rather than actually put down a long-term plan for investing capital (so some much smarter person comes along and tells them they have a solution and basically robs shareholders blind, in this case it was Joe Rogan).

And yes, they are dumb. The dumbness wasn't "the bet" but how they structured it. The investments were so large and aggressive, they were part of the "original content" bubble, the underlying thesis was unknowable, and they have ended up getting targeted by activists because the corporate governance here was so evidently bad (as I said, in this particular case there seems to have been a significant overlap between the social life of a prominent exec involved in this and some of the people being picked up).

> Podcasts probably just aren't that profitable.

You think? I thought their "bet" wasn't dumb.
‘We’re already covering banks and too big to fail insurance companies, find someone else!’
I use it frequently, and there has been a major bug since launch that seems present on multiple platforms (desktop, mobile, Android, Apple). Seemingly at random, though I have suspicions that it's related to ads, the currently playing podcast will skip to the next unplayed episode before the current one is finished. This happens anywhere from a few minutes in to a few hours in. I would never watch another podcast in the Spotify app if the podcast I want to watch was available elsewhere.

They launched a half-baked product that was missing some of the most basic features you could imagine. It has since improved to the point where it's almost usable, but it can't compete with anything else from a UX/quality perspective.

It's also missing the discussion/community aspect that you get with a platform like YouTube.

Another annoyance is that I've had a Premium family subscription for years, but I still get ads on podcasts.

The claim that 222nm is an effective disinfectant seems to directly contradict the claim that it cannot penetrate skin. In particular, if it bounces off dead skin cells, and the environment contains dust, how can it possibly kill things on the dark side of the dust particles?

On top of that, reasonable disinfectant timeframes are a few minutes to a few hours, tops. Safety timeframes for human exposures need to be measured in decades if this technology catches on. Claims that lethal dosages of 222nm will penetrate typical glops of pathogens in the environment in seconds, but that cancer causing dosages will not penetrate human skin over years are extraordinary.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Are there long term safety trials for this technology? The article claims “reduced damage” in the abstract, implying routine 222 nm exposure is unsafe.

It's worth keeping in mind that Stephen Wolfram likely didn't write this himself.

How many billions in economic damage and millions in lives would that take? I mean I get the desire to see people and countries held responsible for things, but at a certain point you have to ask what the cost you're willing to pay to make that happen is.

I am not a religious person in general, but I do sometimes wonder if society as a whole isn't losing something valuable in the declining beliefs in a cosmic balancing even if a secular balancing can't occur. Whether that's karma or judgement day, there's a lot of anger floating about these days about wrongs that are just realistically too costly to address, that in other belief systems would at least be assuaged by the belief that they would be addressed in the after life.
That's not how copyright infringement works. Great, you've stopped committing new infringements, but there's still a legal case over the previous infringements, for which you still need to provide appropriate remedy.

If the remedy for copyright infringement were just "oh, we got caught, guess we'll stop now", that would provide substantial incentive for people to violate licenses as long as they hoped they wouldn't get caught. The remedy for such violations needs to be substantial enough that it's not profitable to temporarily get away with.
