You cannot tax the biggest innovation and edge technological topic right now which is AI, where every big discovery matters and can put the whole country on top of the global economy, much like what happens with the semiconductor industry. If anything, the government would cut down taxes to boost innovation.

Government wants to tax crypto because they don't like crypto, because it consumes too much electricity for what it has proven to provide to the users and the economy, at least for now.
Why? Battery capacity/density is going up quicky. Charging times go down. Why swap a battery?
How is a multi-national company (aka large enterprise) worried about "lack of competitiveness"? Isn't this what they all want? Or maybe they're complaining about the lack of startups that they can acquire?

The difference with sim/4X/any genre that's fallen outside of the general "popular games" trend is that they ended up becoming overly specialized and inaccessible to newcomers.

Yes, technically you can still play a bunch of cool 4X games, but most people still making them (with the exception of like, CAs Total War, which also notably defocused the 4X part in favor of RTS combat) is copying the Paradox approach and Paradox is largely known for its absurd depth and mechanics... which unfortunately translates to the games devolving into spreadsheet simulators with fancy graphics.

Civilization was the right mix between "flavorful civilizations", "fun endgoals" and "reasonable to achieve victory against the computer". Most 4X games, because they copied the Paradox approach, kinda suffer from the fact that they pretty much demand immediate mastery of the systems if you want to succeed, unless you're playing with friends (in which case you have more control over each other's bumbling and one person can just hyperfocus on learning one system, while the other can focus on another.)

Its the difference between SimCity and Cities: Skylines. SimCity (before the final game) is a sandbox toy that lets you build a super dysfunctional city but y'know, as long as the taxes don't go in the red, you're doing fine! Cities: Skylines otoh has way harsher feedback tools if you don't build a highly functional city. That's fine if you're already tuned in on SimCity as a game and crave a higher challenge, but if you're new to these kinds of games, Cities: Skylines is just too much.
My idea too. I hope people can use it to cure their loneliness in the short term and train their social skills in a safe environment so they are more confident.

Evryone lives in their own bubble of self affirming facts these days, maybe in your view covid projections were far off, but in mine the projections that were the worst off were the ones saying this was just another type of flu, when in fact we ended up with over 1M dead just in the US.

Same with climate, I see a very widely held consensus on climate by the scientific community, and so far the climate changes line up with the predictions. I’ve seen first hand extreme weather events on a scale we’ve never experienced in many places that are already having catastrophic consequences. Maybe proposed solutions are wrong, but not trying anything or just putting your head in the sand based on a belief rather than evidence is clearly far worse.
Given people were originally predicting collapse within days, how long do you need to draw conclusions?

How did people react to your request to turn on an AI bot?
If a state can’t wait to regulate something of which it is quite unclear if it needs regulation at all, then you usually find lobbyists in the background.

As a citizen I think there is high value in keeping the set of regulations as small and concise as possible. A state should twice weigh the benefit of regulation against the (opportunity) cost.

Have you tried AutoGPT? I've heard that it can do a bit more through iteration. Haven't tried it out yet for coding hard problems.
I feel like what we really need for EV cars is a SpaceX like move towards simpler materials and chemistry (steel for example instead of complex materials), even at the cost of lesser performance.

At this point higher manufacturing scale / cheaper to produce / less toxic is possibly much more impactful than extreme densities for energy storage tech. These can also be used for more stationary usage (domestic, grid).

Maybe also rethinking infrastructure to make shorter point-to-point travels sensible, so that we don't keep seeking higher and higher capacities?
Basically that was what the entire community wanted + deeper gameplay, but instead EA chose to go the complete opposite direction, screwing the entire community and letting Cities: Skylines be the spiritual successor instead. Let's hope Cities 2 don't repeat the same mistake.

This won't work. Together with fat, juice is released as well. As long as there is liquid water, temperature won't go over 100C so you're effectively boiling your meat and not browning it.

Except the vast majority of people aren't able to host such a bot themselves, so it seems inevitable that paid hosting services for such bots will arise. Then there's just the potential for financial exploitation at greater scale.

The only certainty in tech, is that there will always be some tool/software package that looks to solve an already established solution with a new approach, only time will tell if it will be successful. Reflecting on the past can shed light on why somethings remain unchanged decades later, and why others have fallen behind. But I think the real answer to your question, is whilst having a coffee/tea/break whatever, it can be nice to read an older article, or a new article on old software, to remind yourself about the "old days" or see how you wold solve a past problem today. It's a bit like classic cars, some people like to buy the car they had or couldn't afford when they were a teenager, equally now as a tech worker (hopefully earning good money) you can indulge and purchase a snes/COM64/Apple 2gs or whatever.
A real SO would require fewer megacorps snooping on your personal interactions.
Three problems:

A) Battery weight is constant even when there is no power, compared to liquid fuel which gets consumed and the weight decreases.
B) Because batteries are heavy (optimal location is low in the vehicle for centre of gravity) which is a mechanical and logistical problem for battery swaps
C) Batteries are big and heavy. Swapping 1,800 pounds of battery is hard. Pumping gas is easy, fast, compact, and light.

A consequence-free environment doesn't necessarily mean a lack of consequences psychologically though.
This does not bode well for the future. We are at a record low for interaction between men and women as it stands. Bringing in substitutes for social interaction just plays into the problem. This will not cure loneliness - these types of initiatives will increase loneliness in the long term.

There is one thing that cures loneliness - talking to other people and developing relationships.

Lol the discussion here is around remote work, I brought up the difficulties managing a remote team.

(1) Leadership & management are actually two distinct roles that are often conflated

(2) how do you lead a team without talking to them?

Your comment is fair-ish, but I think misses the mark. You have to balance touch points and removing blockers, with attitudes like “I want heads down time to work”. In an office you can walk pass, see someone struggling and offer to help. In a remote setting you need regular check ins.

For what it’s worth here, I described maybe 2-4 hrs a week of meetings. How is that a burden? Lol that overhead of planning & engagement (5-10%) dramatically (like 1.25 - 2x) productively. It results in less waste and a more motivated / engaged team, if done properly

You are confusing branding with product description. Thunderbird can call itself 'a better programme' but not 'a better outlook'.

There is also no "meat envy". But you might like a dish called 'chicken tikka' and no longer eat chicken. Or you might be a meat eater unfamiliar with vegan products but want to cook for your son-in-law something similar as to what you cook for the rest of the family. Why should you not be able to buy a product called 'fake chicken' to be use as an alternative ingredient.

As long as the advertisement is not misreading (claiming in big letters 'chicken fingers' but actually in small script adding 'not made of chicken') there is literally no reason to prohibit such convenience labeling and naming schemes.

I'm not sure what are you referring to with "data loss protection" in ZFS, but if you refer to the 'copies' parameter, that's not erasure coding, that's just full copies of the data blocks [0]. They mostly only work for some sector errors on disk. If you lose a whole disk, THEY DO NOTHING. [1]

"The block pointer can store up to three copies of the data each pointed by a unique DVA. These blocks are referred to as “ditto” blocks in ZFS terminology." [2]

And although VMWare calls RAID5/6 "Erasure Coding" [3](!!), I'd say it's not [4].

Well, the only thing is that brown and a bit crispy onions and not caramelized onions, that's it.
The author is mostly complaining that the caramelized onions mentioned in the recipes simply aren't that.

Brown and a bit crispy onions are nice and that's how I most of the time make them as well. They're just not caramelized onions.

>Companies learned to ignore the GDPR. While the industry had initially thrown a tantrum about the GDPR and its high fines, the past years have shown that this deterring effect has quickly washed off. The reality shows that the legislator was unable to simply legislate an enforcement culture. The GDPR has often become a mere paper tiger.

I'm not a huge GDPR fan, for a multitude of reasons, but the reality of the compliance situation is the biggest one.

I wonder if this experience will inform the EU in its further legislative adventures. Most likely perhaps by causing even sterner legislation, or perhaps (if I dare to dream) by limiting the bureaucratic-federalist ambitions.
And Facebook wants to smuggle EU users' data into the US.
This is completely disregarding the reality that it is not obvious who is the enemy.

When you can't tell who the enemy is then everyone is suspect and the later naturally arises.

American law enforcement also has the power to throw Americans in jail. Therefore it is much more important to strictly regulate what information they obtain and how they obtain it when it pertains to Americans. Non-Americans generally don't run the risk of having their civil rights violated by US agencies (barring extraordinary cases, eg. extradition requests). And even then, extraditions can be contested if the evidence was obtained through improper means.
The older you get, the more you realize that all the shiny new stuff, and exciting news, and ways the world is changing...they are really not all that new. Pretty-similar stuff happened decades, centuries, and millennia ago.

And getting worked up about all the "new and exciting!" is an outlook best suited to being a simple consumer of entertainment. Vs. if you're no longer a kid, in a world that has some rather dire social and sustainability problems...then whether you're trying to understand the big picture in order to do something useful about the problems, or just to lose yourself in nostalgia for a bit, the past gets considerably more important.

MacGregor is hopelessly pro-Russian and it's impossible to take what he says seriously. This quote from the beginning of the war did not age well for instance:

Or how to he thought the Russian military was "too gentle" (after the countless reports of rape, torture and murder of the civilian population).

Mostly he and the host were chatting about AI responsibility (seem to be their current campaign atm).
It’s been a long time, but my recollection was that it varied widely by region.

Where I lived, alot of the territory between cities was controlled by regional/local companies like Cellular One, and those companies basically leveraged control of territory to extract whatever they could from the carriers. You had 3G in town, but drove a few minutes away and there you got handed off to the little guy, usually using EDGE. Iirc, Verizon and AT&T acquired most of them circa 2007.

I think you’re right in that 3G is not responsible for the iPhones’ success, but I would say that iPhone is responsible for the success of 3G and the growth that accelerated LTE.

> If the goal is to offset climate change, there are cheaper, higher-value targets. Two good places to start: Tax the electricity usage of data centers and artificial intelligence.

No, the best goal for this is to tax carbon.

Obviously a crypto tax is as much about politics as it is about climate change. Most people loathe crypto after the last 2 bubbles and your average news-savvy person can roughly describe why bitcoin and NFTs are a waste of electricity, meanwhile the crypto industry itself isn’t doing great and likely won’t be politically influential, making it a great target. (Unlike say 2021 when a bunch of people were investing in it).

I don't disagree a staged license for first time drivers might not be a bad idea but the restrictions are too severe and i don't think age should play any factor, it's everyone or no one.

And if they're going to introduce restrictions of young drivers then at the same time there should be an introduction of mandatory retests at 50-60 years of age to prove road worthiness and update road knowledge.
