It's essential to recognize that not all journalism is driven by these factors...

I agree with the general sentiment. With that said, ultimately this is part of the problem. That entities that are driven by these factors are - by definition - not journalism. Call them whatever you want, but it doesn't qualify as journalism.

If we continue to give them credit and credibility for something they clearly have not earned, we are collectively removing the incentive for maintaining the definitive standard. Journalist should not be an everyone gets a trophy title.

The way I like to frame it is this:
If your pet barked would you call it a cat? Of course not. This isn't any different. These content providers are not journalists and are not providing journalism.

I'm sure are other reference points:

You’re not. I just like cars and have a selection. My 90 is a daily, it’s never stranded me in the 7 years I’ve had it. Even with a dead battery I can start it by pushing it in neutral and dumping the clutch in gear, really can’t beat that. I just sold a 2013 I didn’t use because I enjoyed the 90 more. The 2013 has gotten me stranded with a dead battery. So has my gf’s 2016, but not the old trusty miat
Thanks! And yep, my goal was to make it as easy as possible to host a server without any technical knowledge. I haven't looked into the subject extensively, but I believe those services exist(ed) in the form of Opera Mini and UC Browser. IIRC, Opera Mini's Android app still supports this. Sadly, it's not open source, so you have to trust Opera with all your data, and Opera hasn't exactly had the best track record... I doubt UC Browser is any better in that regard. I used both about 10 years ago when they still had J2ME versions of their apps... It was kind of surreal to use Opera Mini's on a touchscreen dumbphone because they had updated their midlet to look very similar to the iOS 7 version, on a much much inferior device! It worked surprisingly well, compressing text and images.

Idk what the alternative is. You tell them you want to quit in 2 months? Nobody does that.
>Western nuclear power plants always had containment buildings, so no, this isn't a factor.

You can't build a building that contains a steam explosion from a runaway reactor. If you could, the reactor could be made indestructible in the first place.

Chernobyl has cost over 600 bn since 1986 and costs billions per year still, and will do so for the foreseeable future. The same goes for Fukushima.

Such costs could appear at any time, anywhere in the world that has a nuclear reactor. For example due to negligence, acts of war or terrorism. No earthquake required.

>Hydro storage is geographically dependent: you essentially need to be able to create an artificial alpine lake

True if you want to create it from scratch, but many countries already have lots of hydro that could be increased by adding pumps to existing dams. Other countries can use other methods, like store heat, for example in molten salt. Thermal solar power plants generate power even during the night.
Or you can generate Hydrogen or Nitrogen. Or you can store pressurized air on the ocean floor. Or you can use batteries.

There are a number of options, and they all have the benefit of being safe enough and cheap enough that they can be made by anyone anywhere, even at small scale.

I personally think that the ease of deployment will be the killer feature for storage, as it was for solar.

"Hold onto power at all costs" is a strategy, sure, but the gotcha here seems to be that they won't be able to remove existing enemies.

It's only new hires who will be affected.

So "hire your political friends" is still important, since they can do some damage before you have a chance to fire them, even given you having additional leverage (and you can imagine a certain kind of academic who could ride that publicity to a lucrative position).

I guess the difference between my thinking here and the Texas GOP's is that I'm saying "make sure your friend are around even when you're not in power anymore" and they're thinking "we will be in power forever."

Lately I've become hyper-aware of games doing screen-space reflections and suddenly finding it distracting when I point my view down and the reflection of the scene at the horizon vanishes off the water/floor.

I upgraded from a 1070 to a 3080 right when the 3080 came out, and I actually have yet to play an RTX game.

Yes, but you generally can't get unemployment for quitting. You have to get laid off or fired by the company to be eligible for unemployment benefits. It's especially easy to get benefits if you were fired without cause. There's no legal protection in cause/or no cause, but it will be the difference between an easy unemployment claim and a contested one.

Most employers get their unemployment insurance rate set by the number of people that require the service just like any other insurance. When an employee can prove they quit (probably before you started 'performance managing' for a with cause termination), then it makes it much simpler to just let them leave then to do the paperwork, eat the unemployment insurance adjustment, risk a possible 'wrongful termination' lawsuit (regardless of merit or ability to win).

Transferring their work and letting them dick around for a week is going to be considerably less work and risk then terminating them before the date. So as a general rule, when you give advance notice, in writing, there is a very good chance that they'll just let you leave on the day.

Additionally, if you fire everyone immediately when they give notice, then people stop giving notice all together, so you just come in some days and are a person short.

They can get great people but then choose to spend their effort solely on features and ignoring things like size and speed - for example, the GTA V loading time issue (https://nee.lv/2021/02/28/How-I-cut-GTA-Online-loading-times...) is a good example, where GTA V did many things really well technically but then completely ignored a huge loading performance issue for many years; things like that aren't "very much a skill/experience thing", the difference is whether the company cares.

Hawking Radiation didn't depend on gravity either, it depends on an event horizon. Any phenomenon which would separate virtual particle pairs would produce it - i.e. the edge of the observable universe would do it too.
The question is can an employer truncate it?

It seems like you could really harm a company by forcing them to pay you to nothing if because they don't want to start someone on a project they will definitely leave half way through.

I don't know "compact" makes anything better about it. Germany has been searching for a hole safe and deep enough for it for years. It costs taxpayer money and they still haven't found one. Meanwhile, the stuff is stored near the plants. Which is not safe. Also stuff which has been considered "safely stored" years ago needs to be dug out again. Which again costs taxpayer money.
Also because of the natural gas boom. Better than coal sure but worse than nuclear.
How would the downturn get rid of leetcode? If anything it will dramatically increase its use as now there’s 100k more programmers on the market all applying for the same reduced pool of jobs.

Somehow companies are going to have to now filter through a lot more candidates to fill positions, and for right now leetcode-like tests are the quickest way to get a gauge of an engineer’s performance (on leetcode).

Don’t get me wrong: I think leetcode hiring depending on how it is done doesn’t result in getting the best talent.

> Again, the point is a generic one. When we find a problem with nuclear, we add extra safety systems. Those cost money.

And again, we already added that safety system. There is no "extra safety systems" because it's already there.

> But it does mean there's factories already pumping them out, plentiful production capacity, competition, and cheap prices.

Exactly: production is already at scale so making a large order for a bunch of alternators for wind turbines isn't going to lead to further saving because it's a drop in the total market for alternators. As a contrast to nuclear power components - where nuclear plants are the only market - so a tenfold increase in the production of nuclear plants leads to a tenfold increase in the production of pressure vessels.

> People will build intermittent sources because they're cheap to build, and because intermittency isn't the provider's problem. Then things break, and people will seek solutions. There will be a rush and various patchwork solutions being implemented in a panic.

Correct, and the solution to intermittency that we've found is to burn fossil fuels. The battery storage facilities being provisioned are nowhere near large enough to be significant. Hydroelectric storage requires specific geographic features, and isn't widely available. You're right: when we have shortages of electricity people will implement solutions. And the solution grid operators have found to the intermittency problem is to continue burning fossil fuels.
I mean you can see it plateauing in that data. Feels good to me!

Yes, read them. The scientific reports that is, not the condensed version presented in the media. If you read them well you'll find they do not support the climate doomsday prophecies which are being bandied around. The only way to use those reports to support those is to use the long-discredited - by the IPCC itself, mind you - worst-case scenarios yet it is those which the media and politicians use to support their doom cries.

When you're done reading at least the abstracts in the IPCC reports - but it is worth the time to read the actual reports themselves - you can also read a few other sources, e.g. Schellenberger's Apocalypse Never: Why Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us All, Björn Lomborg's False Alarm: How Climate Change Panic Costs Us Trillions, Hurts the Poor, and Fails to Fix the Planet and Steve Koonin's Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't, and Why It Matters. These give a far better view over what climate change entails and how it can be dealt with than the breathless fear-mongering as seen in the media and as spouted by politicians.

These are the kinds of anwsers that makes me think you haven't thought through this much.

There are very clear plans for going 100% renewable. See Marc Z Jacobsens studies for instance. I wouldn't mind some nuclear power myself. But there just doesn't seem to be a clear plan about what approach to take. We don't have time to just dabble in various new reactor technologies.

To me it seems we could either build old simple reactors that we don't really trust anymore. I wouldn't mind, but it's not realistic. Or try to get Gen III+ and Gen IV reactors down in cost. But will it help? Will it be worth the investments? I guess we should at least keep existing nuclear engineers employed.

Seems to me that the only barrier now to just going all-in on renewables is energy storage. The next next few decades will be aaaaall about energy storage and transformation technologies anyway.. so there's an argument to be had that it's a good thing to just go all in on energy storage R&D. That kind of expertise will be critical to decarbonizing transportation, fertilizer and metal production anyway. Better energy storage makes it easier to decarbonize across all sectors. There's excellent network effects. Better nuclear only helps decarbonizing the grid, but that's just a part of our challenge.

Nuclear is not going to power every country anyway. That ship has basically already sailed with solar+energy storage. It's just the simplest way to get up and running with electricity if you don't have a grid, and as technologies improve, developing areas will just continue to scale that up.

The big X factor is advanced geothermal energy. I think once the fossil fuel industry sees the writing on the wall, a lot of engineers from that sector will go into geothermal. If just one of them manages to succeed getting the cost down, and drill deeper, what's the point of nuclear fission?

And then there's the fact that nuclear directly contributes to global warming by directly heating up the planet. Much less than greenhouse gases, but surprisingly much. That's extra heat we can't really afford in the coming decades. Rivers are going to end up being at the edge of ecologoical collapse due to global warming... and we're going to dump MORE heat into them?

Asking ChatGPT "Why does the price of a Credit Default Swap rise?" gets you:

> The price of a Credit Default Swap (CDS) rises when the market perceives an increased risk of default by the underlying entity, such as a company or government.

> A CDS is a financial instrument that allows investors to protect themselves against the risk of default by an issuer of debt. The buyer of a CDS pays a premium to the seller, who agrees to pay a fixed amount in the event of a default. The price of the CDS reflects the perceived risk of default by the underlying entity.

> If the market perceives an increased risk of default by the underlying entity, such as due to a weakening financial position, deteriorating economic conditions, or a downgrade in credit rating, then the price of the CDS will rise. This is because investors will demand a higher premium to compensate for the increased risk.

> Conversely, if the market perceives a reduced risk of default, such as due to an improvement in the financial position or a credit rating upgrade, then the price of the CDS will fall, as investors require a lower premium to compensate for the lower risk.

I think it sounds that way because it probably was!

It's silly because it's often dangerous. A lot of these roads are busy, and the speed limits can be 35-50 MPH. For better or for worse, drivers are just _not_ anticipating pedestrians on these sorts of roads, but some people have no better choice.

I suppose I see the axes quite differently! If a city is going to be there, there are going to be a bunch of costs; but I don't want built space to be constrained and crummy for people by being either
(A) favela/bidonville/slum decrepit and pest-riddled (if versatile)

(B) manicured like a plywood subdivision to maximize resale value, at the expense of freedom to add on and be playful, cf Daniel Pinkwater's classic book "The Big Orange Splot"

(C) homogenized by high design prefabricators "because people don't mind having identical phones if the phones are cheap but good, so, people won't mind having identical homes on that basis either"

(D) unwalkably sited

(E) arrayed in vertical cul-de-sac residential stalks with no personal private space to sculpt at ground level
or
(F) mass-customized for them by AR/VR&cement-extrusion-robot-rental prefabricators and perhaps well-meaning building code officials who will find it much safer to pre-warranty the strength of such homes than try to verify the safety of people's own manually cobbled-together creations

I'd rather suggest that the downsides of B thru F can be avoided if (A) were pursued in the absence of economically, legally and politically marginal conditions that usually are its handmaiden and raison d'etre.

Speaking of Windows storage drivers, years ago, I managed to get Windows to boot and run entirely in RAM using some fairly obscure tools from the reboot.pro forums. I always wanted to have an immutable Windows system that I could manage like cattle. Unfortunately, setting up such a system was extremely complicated and a manual process. I am aware that Windows now has a driver called UWF that functions a bit like an overlay filesystem and can create ephemeral overlays, but it's not quite the same as booting and running in RAM. It's also only available in Enterprise unless you enable it via registry edits.
A bit pedantic here, but majority renewable national energy systems have been built but only with hydroelectricity. Norway and some other countries generate >95% of their electricity from dams.

But of course, dams can't be built everywhere, so it's not a scalable solution.

It already did well enough by standardizing SBI and by providing a high-quality open implementation of it.

This minimizes (or even removes) incentives to provide a proprietary solution.

Some vendors will of course do whatever they want, instead of just using opensbi.

But they'll be opting out of being compliant with the platform specs, and of benefiting from the support for SBI present in operating systems and embedded toolchains. Such an implementation would just make themselves and everybody else miserable.

In an ideal world, the market will avoid non-compliant SoCs. In practice, there will be some of these to point at as examples of how not to operate.

L-theanine is a hell of a drug!

And 65-75°C is a safe bet for almost all greens. Germs won't survive on dried herbs with no access to water.

Bacterial spores can survive on dry stuff and these can be inactivated by high temperatures, but 65°C should do. Also, we humans have this cool ability to raise body temperature to kill unwelcome stuff, so we're good until cordyceps evolves.

Toxins on the other hand, may be able to survive even boiling.

Go for 65-75°C and don't ever taste bitter green tea.
Most of the types of speech the current conservative movement dislikes did not have a lot of people prominently voicing that speech in the 90s. They did have a lot of speech against them in the 90s.

It's easy to spot that backlash complaint - "I used to be able to say this in the 90s" - but from what I'm seeing, it's a mistake to think the motivation is "more speech for everyone" and not "this should still be allowed, but that needs to go back in the closet."
If you source your green tea from a Japanese tea farm, this is really not a concern. Farm workers all wear gloves and masks, and the tea leaves are harvested directly from the tea bushes to a net via a machine.

Additionally, the tea plants are covered by cloth for up to a month before harvest, dramatically reducing the chances of bird droppings.

They are also steamed, rolled, and dried by mechanical devices which remove virtually all moisture.
I would argue that prescriptivism in English still refers solely to English. The idea that since data is plural in Latin, it must also be plural in English doesn't follow for me. Plenty of words change plurality when being taken into another language, e.g.

* Laos is plural in French but singular in English.

* Cherise is singular in French, but was rebracketed as a plural in English (and then transformed to cherry as the singular).
