I’m sure you could go and cherry-pick someone who had the opposite opinion somewhere, but in reality this is not a very controversial position. It’s introductory textbook / basic reasoning material (if you consider “basic population dynamics” to be “basic”, that is).

The only thing I can think of that would make what I said wrong would be if the mutation rate of the iatrogenic strain was many orders of magnitude higher than the wild strain, which does not appear to be the case. And even then, I’d say it would be a “maybe” at most.
You can actually hear the beat frequencies like tuning a guitar. So intervals like the fifth or an octave are definitely 'in tune' when you try it. Interestingly if you play a pure sine in each ear with one slightly detuned, your brain will also hear the beat frequencies as if the waves were interfering despite each ear getting separate pure signals! There was even an open source program Gnaural for experimenting with this effect - binaural beats.

From the graph: yes. Just compare electric bikes to cars instead of old bikes, and they are relatively sustainable.
> That's hyperbolic and, more importantly, incredibly imprecise.

In common USA English, use of a figure like "10K" suggests imprecision - it's a magnitude of order ballpark, a gesture at the logarithmic scale.

This convention is useful because it's easy to remember a rough ballpark, but precise figures are going to quickly get muddied in details.

It seems strange to complain about imprecision when someone has already clearly indicated that they're talking about a rough estimate.
Yeah, the game I'm talking about was like this. I spent 80+ hours a week on it. I spent literal years of my life on World of Warcraft, stagnating my life for almost a decade because of it. I was in one of the top guilds in the world for while. It was a full time job and to my detriment.

I hate every time I think about it, I could have been learning to code, advancing my career and doing interesting things that I think back fondly about. Instead there's just a void in my life where I did nothing, learned nothing, and copied other people's builds in a game and hit buttons really fast and stayed out of the red areas during raids while hitting buttons fast. It makes me feel gross.

Sure, maybe. I guess I'm just saying there is more than one plausible explanation for the decisions she made regarding motherhood. I may detest what she did, she doesn't need any defending. It's easy to be overly reductive about people, but most people have complex, unrelated, and sometimes contradictive motivations.
Without knowing about the industry, I like to wistfully think that a cooperative would be the way to structure a company that cares about this. Not just worker-owned, but customer-owned as well. If you're buying an asset you expect to last decades, having a stake in the manufacturer doesn't seem like a completely bad idea.

I think you may once again be missing my point.

Your point of view seems to be that of wealthy or semi-wealthy and relatively stable nations, without massive rampant corruption. And sure, for those, it may very well work. Who am I to even have an opinion on that?

But who will accept to connect their power grid to that of those countries who are still having weekly, if not daily, blackouts?

The kind of country where corrupt officials accept being paid to get chemical waste dumped into their laps, and consider it a grand idea to dump those into their country’s power plants crude oil?

The kind of country where people just randomly plug themselves into power lines, without any consideration for safety, and regularly burn down a whole block because of it, and shut down power for an entire city in the process?

The kind of country currently facing a war, civil or otherwise, and who’s grid’s instability would affect anybody connected to them?

Nobody in their right mind would willingly expose themselves to such risks.

So sure, like you so eagerly anticipate, rich and stable countries will happily link their power grids together in some grand international energy market, and maybe it will, as you surmise, solve all their problems. I really have no opinion whatsoever on that.

But where do the others fit?
Nothing it the article is wrong, per se, but it all seems awfully disconnected from the realities I see in monitoring and alerting?

The end advice is right: you want to build the smoke detector, not the car alarm. But … getting that done, now that's the trick. If the org has car alarms, that's the same org whose PMs will not see the "impact" of that ticket to get the monitoring made ship shape, and that ticket will be backlog-icebox-graveyard'ed.

I've had to get a number of "technical" non-technical roles to try to see that, no, the monitoring software can not automatically generate¹ metrics around your application. Yes, you have to actually instrument the code to add those!

Then that gets combined with systems that are just … not the best? at their job: Datadog has so many rough corners around statistics, where graphs will alias, graphs will change shape depending on zoom, units are a PITA or nowhere to be seen, etc. Sumo a god-awful UI — literally tabs inside tabs, and I can't copy the URL?! — and barely understand structured logging. Splunk is marginally better. Pagerduty permits only the simplest handling of events — don't limit me to a handful of tailored rules: rules are logic, logic is a function: give me WASM. And I want usable business-hours only alerts².

Self-hosted systems are perpetually met with "that's not our core focus", but nobody ever seems to convert the cost of managed monitoring/alert systems into "number of FTE that could be hired to maintain a self-hosted system".

(Oddly, the example in the article is a car alarm. Load avg. is, IMO, a useless metric. Better to measure CPU consumption and IOPS consumption, separately, or probably better, more derivative stats around the things doing the IOPS/CPU.)

¹yes, most system come with some collectors to get system-level stuff like CPU usage, etc. I mean metrics specific to your application.

²PD claims to support them, but in practice, they don't work: alerts received off hours don't alert, true … but they never alert once business resume, either! If you're in an org trying to dig itself out of a mess, you need them to not die in the low-prio pile.

(Ugh. Give me ACL systems in these systems that don't suck: PD locks the routing rules behind like "Admin", and security doesn't want to grant the rank and file "Admin", and so 80% of my devs have no idea how the system works because they're not allowed to see how the system works! Give me the ability to do a WMA business-days-only line for diurnal patterns! The list just goes on and on…)
Yup, I was indeed talking about Kárahnjúkar. I do recommend Draumalandið. I actually got a copy as a graduation present back in 2006. I’ve read it many times over, and even though I’ve moved continents, I still keep the copy prominently on my bookshelf.
Interesting, thank you, I did not know that! I knew there were white Russians in China that are nevertheless "Chinese" (by observing culture and language). I did not know they are represented in the NPC.

\__

((Wow...the racial definition is tricky, and while not the interesting question here, I'll talk out loud to try to come up with a better definition: my "white people" includes all people--such as those Westerners (Europeans, Americans, Australians, NZers, Canadians, British, etc...) that may become "naturalized Chinese citizens" -- who are "white" (whatever that means) Anglosaxon or whatever...could be more expanded to Spanish, Turkish, Middle Eastern..."white" is not such a great word--but that definition here, while tricky, is not so interesting as the main question--so in this case, maybe we can replace white with "other races" and use it as a stand-in to mean, "non-han-Chinese and not from ethnic group originating in East (NE, SE) Asia." -- so it could be people from India, Middle East as well as "typically" "white" Europeans/etc.))

So--back to the main question--is it possible (legally), and probably (realistic to expect) these people to hold senior leadership in the Central government?

So NPC has around 3000 members--while certainly "senior" there are several more powerful positions above it like:

NPC Standing Committee - 150 people

Politburo Standing COmmittee - 7 members

Central Committee - 200 people

State Council - 35 people

Central Military Commission - unknown small number

is it possible (legally), and probably (realistic to expect) these non-han-Chinese people (naturalized Chinese citizens or descendents of non-ethnic-Chinese immigrants into China) to hold senior leadership in the Central government, which may be expressed as membership on one of those above small groups?

What about in Taiwan, Macao or HK?

Proper maintenance and quality parts last 50 years (my commuter bike and most of its components are 40 years old. Tires, chains, cogs, brakepads, saddle and bartape are the exception).

Anything but the cheapest of components would last years with proper maintenance (which has cost in service charges: good bike mechanics don't come cheap)
Indeed time to eliminate all those people I guess. /s

I don’t think you can compare people’s carbon footprint because those people will exist regardless of jobs.
Anecdotally, I've had tinnitus for as long as I can remember, but I never really noticed until I had a permanent loud whistling sound in my ears after a concert in a smallish venue in Japan in the early 2000s, that thankfully dissipated after a few days. But it made me realize that, the residual "sound" remaining after that, I was actually hearing it before too.

Some may not like this opionion but...

I have worked at a community college. In my experience, the majority of the degrees or certificates emparted by said college do not really carry any marketable skills. Instructors are older, for the most part and not computer literate. Covid-19 forced a great number of them to either retire early or killed them off. Departments are always fighting the state for a small piece of the budget to stay afloat and not cut staff. I've found that most instructors are only there for their paychecks.

A good indicator of how bad things have gotten is the fact that post-secondary schools like community colleges and private schools regularly send out department reps to perform outreach at high-schools just to increase their enrollment numbers. A young mind's brain is very malleable afterall.

Sooo... How is the loudness management feature not just a reimplementation of "mp3 replay gain" that was introduced over 20 years ago?
Hopeless.

The energy produced by 100 acres of wind requires 1200 acres of solar...and you are going on and on about a purported 5%, 10%, 25% gain.

Who gives a fuck?

Any accountant would take a 100 acre solution over a 1200 acre nightmare.

You seem to be exquisitely capable of attempting to derail conversations with irrelevant noise.

Energy production per installed GW:
Wind: 3.07 TWh/GW
Solar: 1.33 TWh/GW (solar is reliably off half the time)

Land use per GW:
Wind: 750 acres/GW
Solar: 3,900 acres/GW

Land use to provide all Tesla Master Plan solar + wind:
Wind: 1 Hawaii (area of all islands)
Solar: 12 Hawaii's
or,
Wind: 2.5% of California
Solar: 30% of California

Annual Operations and Maintenance costs :
Wind: 1.00
Solar: 1.33 times wind O&M

Initial investment in factories:
Wind: $212 billion
Solar: $ 11 billion

Storage required for 95% reliability:
Wind: 3 hours
Solar: >12 hours

Wind requires 4x less batteries, with all the cost,
recycling and ecological advantages this delivers.

Build supply chain origin:
Wind: Diverse
Solar: Heavy reliance on China

Long term supply chain (maintenance, parts, etc.) origin:
Wind: Diverse
Solar: Heavy reliance on China (forever)

These are facts from Tesla's Master Plan Part 3 and the sources they list.

And you are arguing over an imaginary 25% gain? Even if you are right, the comparison isn't even close.

If you want to invalidate my ideas about wind, attack the list I just reprinted above --which means, attack the data and sources provided by Tesla.

BTW, operation and maintenance costs on a fixed solar system --per MPP3-- is already 33% greater than solar. Tracking solar is even more expensive. I don't have a clue how much. I'll guess 50% (and I'll be I am right).

You are missing the forest for the trees.

Have a good life.
Yes, good faith and fair dealing has nothing to do with this and shows that while you may know enough to pull out the restatement, you don’t really get the law. Good faith has to do with conduct in the execution of an agreement that undermines the deal without seeming to technically violate it. It doesn’t have anything to do with putting caveats in fine print.

As someone who has worked with SAML and other authn/authz technologies, I can only say that the reason for the SSO tax is because that stuff is unreasonably complicated and hard to make work. From things like Microsoft's half-baked proprietary version of SAML to the typical company's crappy in-house login system that was thrown together on top of a system built with security as an afterthought, doing SSO is never simple. Security as an afterthought is always way more difficult than if someone had thought about user roles and permission from the beginning. On top of that, even little companies expect to have things like "well, the execs never really log in, so we need to be able to delegate permissions, but only for things the execs want them to do. We can't give them permissions to sign off on bonuses for themselves".

Knowing what I know, I don't really begrudge any SSO provider their premium pricing.

What kind of weird brakes do you have on your bike? I can easily buy Shimano Ultegra (which is pretty high-end) brake calipers on Amazon for roughly USD$65, and a big bottle of brake oil is less than $15. Cheaper-brand or lower-end calipers are of course, cheaper, easily less than $50 each. And brake calipers aren't something you normally need to replace anyway. Pads are easily available too, both name-brand and Chinese knock-offs that probably last 1/3 as long for 1/10 the cost. What supply-chain problem are you referring to? I don't see any.

Surprised no one has mentioned …The main practical one is line thickness. You can’t physically write as small. You can pack a ton of information with a 0.3mm or 0.25 ball point that is not possible with the bic where nearly triple that is considered “fine” by comparison.

Those pens have considerable resistance but I find pilot hi-tec-c 0.4mm write as smoothly as a Bic but a far cleaner line and is a good compromise for everyday use. It’s not like most of these pens are particularly expensive or anything either.
All the numbers given here seem tiny in comparison to the emissions from manufacturing or using a car. It seems like premature optimization at best, and might even be counterproductive by implying that because some bikes are more sustainable than others, bikes are somehow unsustainable as a whole.

Twitter is indeed a place with a lot of interests and topics but after the initial period it built up a pretty unique culture. As you say, it's just an aspect of platforms. But there was something unique about how Twitter folks really felt like their network was the "global conversation" that I never felt elsewhere, even though it felt just as self-selecting as the other networks.

Early Reddit definitely attracted a pretty interesting, insular bunch but there was never any feeling that Redditors were creating a similar global network. I was on IRC channels that had Americans, Europeans, Indians, Singaporeans, and Hong Kongers but we all knew we were weird. There was always something unique about Twitter users that made them think of their space as a global village, and I think the large presence of journalists and MSM friendliness was a big part of that.

Twitter also managed to create a product that its sticky users loved in a way that I'm not sure any other network managed. Redditors loved Reddit but not nearly as much as Twitter users liked Twitter. Whatever it was I hope product folks study it closely.
had no clue, i'll look into it. thx.
The python one has similar language though is a little more permissive and doesn’t go into as much depth as the rust one. The feedback the rust foundation is asking for is working as intended and they’re correcting some of their wording accordingly.

https://www.python.org/psf/trademarks/

That specific line you mention is with regards to conferences that use Rust in their name.

So if HandmadeCon or GDC had a rust session, that would be fine because it’s not the focus of the conference. But if they called it Rust GameDev Conference , they’d need to abide by the usage rules.

This is to protect from negative associations with the rust brand. After all, you don’t want rust being associated with a mass shooting event or a stampede etc…

In my experience, the worst designers I've ever worked with are the ones who tend to be more artsy and care more about aesthetics than functionality/usability.
