First of all, absolutely brilliant!

And, well played (pun intended!) <g>

Future Prediction: I think the far end of all of this will be for people to eventually roleplay their own favorite characters from their favorite movies -- in those fictional movies' "movie universes"...

Everything would be 3D virtual reality and rendered in real-time... we have that now for some games -- but we don't have that yet for AI adapting a fictitous movie universe (and its rules) for character-in-that-fictitious-universe roleplaying (and the AI acting as the "DM")...

I think it will be tremendously interesting in the future when all of those aspects of current technology -- are all hooked together perfectly and seamlessly integrated...
> Would RIPE be acting on the request of German legal authorities and/or courts, or on some other basis? And how would this be determined?

This is a guess but either a) giving out incorrect information (which is a clear basis, all AS operators must be either a person or a legal company, yes you could practically bypass this by registering a shell company but considering that they've used PayPal I'm pretty sure that they have not planned this well) or b) a German or Hessian (it seems that it's registered in Hesse) court might have forcibly transferred the legal entity to the state, in which case since the state now owns the entity they could simply file paperwork to voluntarily relinquish the AS.

Depeering is much more easier: all major transit networks have a provision in their contract to terminate the transit if it's unnecessarily burdening their systems or if it is used for malicious purposes.
I've got a bunch of reasons. No single one is the end all 'super conclusive', but in aggregate it makes a good case for scooters.

Tldr the capacity, speed, range, and ease of adding gas (vs charging at a station) of a scooter is an order of magnitude better than an ebike.

Easier to park, too. You don't have to lock them up like you do a bike.

Have you ever ridden a scooter? It's much closer to a motorcycle than a bike.
Teaching programming via the technologies in fashion and practical for getting a job today is flawed. Teach the fundamentals - math, logic, algorithms. But, most importantly, teach how to learn and problem solve. If your students can’t figure out how to quit their editor they’re doomed in this career. Forget about React and hooks, those will be out of date by the time they’re entering the workforce.
All these human resources shenanigans.... Employees hate these.
At worse, it’s replacing natural gas with fossil fuel. At best, it increases demand so more renewables are built.
It seems most of the code in the repository is just simple Scala. Codebase is easy to read and understand.

I don't see any Typelevel stuff. This probably lets them hire and train engineers faster while still gaining most of the benefits

I hope this will encourage more companies to pick Scala.
That article really needs the date at the top. I found in the bottom, published March 27, 2023. The EU banned incandescent bulbs back in 2009. I thought he was writing about first generation LEDs, until I could confirm the date.

Couldn't you level the same argument against eg C++?
You're focusing on "today" when this is a twenty or thirty year machine. Twenty or thirty years from now a gas furnace will still be a 100% emitter. A heat pump has the ability (without upgrades) to move an increasing quantity of the energy to renewables.
This is delusional. I am a brown person, I grew up in these areas. Gangs exist. They are a scourge on the areas they blight. Please do not vote
That might be true, but it seems to generally fall under the category of 'relevant 15+ years ago', doesn't it?
Two other factors worth thinking about:

1. How differentiated is engineer output in a measurable way?

2. How much profit is unlocked by the engineers work at market rates?

(2) tells you how much room there is for an engineer's share of the profits to grow. In traditional engineering fields there often isn't as much profit to share everything comes from margin off a physical product).

Physical constraints also mean that it's difficult to differentiate in traditional engineering. The problems my EE friends solve are harder mathematically but they're almost all using design patterns and even components created decades ago, it's unusual to have a chance to do work that's "different" in a way the market might care about.
Of course but its more convenient when you choose when this time sink has to happen. Its why people go for a run in the morning instead of just jogging everywhere they go in life. Not to mention its a cost you pay more than once if you go down to the station multiple times a day. Take just three trips and your day just turned into a 22 and a half hour one only factoring the walk on the home side.
America is the only first world country to border South and Central America, which is the region of the world with a homicide rate orders of magnitude above any other. It is no surprise violence spills over due to proximity.
Add more bus stops.

Beyond that, I think the most honest answer is, "Wear a coat, and give yourself more time."
Got a link I can learn from?
Management-speak drives me up the wall, as it generally has the following three qualities:

- Obfuscates reality by avoiding discussing money ("our teams have performed wonderfully" instead of "you all made the company $X" which is a far more honest representation of mgmt priorities)

- Erodes trust by remaining constantly positive even in the face of major setbacks ("we're all feeling the burn" instead of "the decisions we made caused efficiency losses to your teams")

- Almost always occurs right in the middle of serious problems ("we are proud to announce the rollout of Useless Feature X" instead of "we are aware that you have all been screaming for Useful Tech Debt Payoff Y for months and unfortunately cannot deliver that yet")

So of course being an engineer/technical employee I constantly daydream about a straight-talking, zero-bullshit management culture that unflinchingly calls it like they see it and treats their employees like adult workers instead of children at daycare.

However, I have to wonder if this daydream is naive. Is there actually an unforseen downside when managers totally eschew management speak even at high levels (VP, C-Suite)? Is there something I'm missing--would the orgs crash if the managers stopped talking like Soviet propagandists? Anyone have experience with this?
That seems really illadvised.
Heat pump with gas auxiliary heat for cold nights. That's what we run and it is the best of both worlds.
this is how a high-trust society devolve into a low trust society. It's quite alarming, and it seems to me, that nothing is being done to reverse it.

By the time the "regular" people feel it (ala, the rich people), the problem may be irreversible.
I wish I saw this in 2026!
Work has somehow become part of our identity
I included all the information needed to extend the basic calculation up to 170k, care to explain why you think that's somehow not relevant?
On the contrary I think I have my "shit" sorted out.

The industry is sick. So much money has flown into it over the years without anyone battling eyelashes at the sheer waste of resources, and I mean this both from the body count as the cpu cycles.

I look at most products built today that cost millions to get off the ground and you have buttons busting out of windows, incoherence everywhere, 5 seconds to start the said product, and 2 seconds between 'pages'. Every version increment is a slow decent to hell.

It all starts with the industry self-reinforced pumped-up resume culture, with hell holes like linkedin."Engineers". Please, have you met a real engineer? One that can do the maths, the design and build of a product? You need to wake up, engineering isn't writing docker files, cobbling python scripts copy pastes together and claiming that yaml is clean code.
The article mentions Winston C who wanted the former members of Bletchley Park to disband with no more than a handful of memory of what was going on there. Alan T was one.

Absolutely. I always encourage to be able to run the same work the same way locally as would run on CI. Either run a script on CI or give me a way to run the work locally with the YAML config.
The Fallacy of Relative Price Evaluation
Shellshock comes to mind as a vulnerability class. It was so popular, it made it even into the Mr.Robot TV series.

If I would describe the vulnerability series, it is something like SQL injection but for services that run shell commands in the background.

The parsers of both CGI and shells were/are so broken that I would just never run any shell command on a web server in a non-manual manner.

They obviously feel that it is.

Likewise, if Twitter actioned people for saying "kill all men" or "all cops are bastards", this would be seen as having an obvious partisan impact.
How does it compare to crossover?
everyone is differently abled.
more importantly, decoupling the electricity generation with the heating, means that improvements made to electricity generation instantly flows into each home, vs using gas for home heating means _every home_ would need to purchase new gas equipment if improvements become available, to get the improvements - a major capital cost for the individual which may not be able to do it.

I would expect that most food is processed in batches, so there could be a few batches that are very dangerous, but most would be completely unaffected (assuming the chemicals don't persist through whatever cleaning/batch changeover processes)
I’d love to see some maps of good examples, but I think transit with minimal transferring is a really tough network nut to crack. You can build hub and spoke or with a few hubs and spokes but this often requires going way out of your way into somewhere you can transfer between spokes. You can build a grid basically like what is done with busses, but again, the routing demands compromising your personal convenience because you are moving along a grid, versus more as the crow flies. At the end of the day no one is going to be perfectly happy with transit by definition. It serves the average commuter along the given corridor, never you in particular and your particular commute. A lot of car drivers today probably wont accept that, taking a backseat and saying they will deal with waiting if it means second order benefits that aren’t immediately obvious, since for the last 100 years they’ve held the notion that they are in charge.

>so say around 40% of the energy potential of a natural gas power plant makes its way to your house as electricity. Combine those and it means that every 1Wh of electrical energy generated takes the equivalent of 1.5Wh worth of natural gas.

If the efficiency is 40% it means 1Wh of gas energy produces 0.4Wh of electricity, does not it? How is it possible then to get 1Wh of electricity using just 1.5Wh worth of gas? 1Wh = 2.5*(0.4Wh).

what a great explanation
1. Bus stops can be as cheap as a sign on the road. We should embrace cheaper bus stops to build more bus stops. Another benefit of cheap bus stops is under-utilized stops can be removed with less investment lost.

2. There's rooms for lots of scooters on buses. It's pretty common for there to be places for bicycles on buses too. Have you been inside of a city bus? There pretty big.

3. Real estate near train stations is almost always more expensive. This is a type of amenity you have to look into while choosing your home.
> especially if you are able bodied and healthy

if you're abled bodied, and healthy, why should society bear a burden of giving you resources to live off long term?

To exist means to locate the resources to live (such as food, shelter, etc). These resources can no longer be foraged like in the days of old, and thus, the allocation of these resources must come from a mechanism we call market and employment today.

A social safety net is required, but only in so far as the time it takes to get yourself another job (any job - not just a preferred job). One should not be on social safety net permanently.

However, on the side of medical care, i do believe that universal medical care is more efficient, and cuts out as much middleman as possible.

The incentives are different. Bioweapons are mainly destructive and not useful for achieving any aims that are sane (they don't secure energy, they don't increase local prosperity, they don't win land wars, they don't target political opponents, etc). Anyone who defects from banning them gains a target on their back and that is it. I can't think of a use for bioweapons.

Contrast to AI. Literally anyone who gets involved, from a teen upwards gains magical new powers across a range of arts and sciences as well as gaining new insights into any questions they have. There is a vague promise of utopia where it no longer makes sense for humans to work (probably won't work out that way, but whatever). Defectors gain massive advantages and can also maintain plausible deniability.

I’ve heard sometimes metros are forced to contract with certain contractors in particular because they have headhunted all the talent qualified to interpret the metros own requirements. You can imagine how much abuse this situation can lead to.

The US needs to drop the contractor model and just directly staff labor for public works. If there is enough work going around to maintain a contracting company, then there’s therefore enough work to staff a public rail building division, and build out some standardized and therefore cheaper designs for this infrastructure.

Bowling leagues, churches, meditation centers, hiking groups, tabletop game gatherings, music festivals, etc are alive and well! Becoming isolated from remote work, realizing one's social circle has shrank to professional acquaintances, and then finding true happiness in one of the aforementioned communities could be a net positive. Better than subsisting on a meager diet of water cooler smalltalk until retirement.
