Seems like a sunk cost fallacy to keep these buildings at this point. For those buildings their heating/cooling/upkeep costs have to be huge. Honestly we should probably have government intervention at this point. Government buys the houses at market values and turns them into affordable housing to counter the housing crisis.

Hey there! Blake from 1Password here.

We use Stripe as our payment processor, and ultimately that's what handles the credit card validation side of things. If you're seeing yourself routinely declined with the same card, there's likely something going on with that particular payment card that's outside of our control.

If you're already in touch with us via email, feel free to send us another follow-up message and be sure to mention me by name -- I'd be more than happy to take a second look at things with you.
I know people who accounted for this but took the offers anyway. For mid-level engineers during the pandemic the jumps in pay were absurd. So I definitely had friends who took a 40% bump knowing a layoff was possible/likely in a couple years but figuring it would still be worth it.
Realistically, only to a small extent. The idea is more to run through what you're aiming for and give it a sanity check.
Plans are adaptable and if they change that's perfectly fine, but you need to know what and why you're adapting. Making stuff up on the go with no goal in sight isn't really going to work.
>but never had the feeling someone expected a bribe

I've only ever had one experience that toed the line of a situation where an inspection approval hinged on something totally unrelated to the results of an inspection. It was the final inspection to receive our CO for our office space. Every inspection up until then was done by inspectors that were courteous and professional, and was beyond my expectations of how the process could have gone. The final inspection was done by none other than the Fire Marshall himself. Not someone from the office of. At the end of the inspection, he said every thing looks good and sees no issues, except.... Our office space was in a large building with other commercial offices as well as residential space on the upper floors. Apparently, the city and the building owner had been going back and forth with updates to required exit signs and other items that are necessary for commercial but not for residential spaces. The city had decided the owner was not holding up his end of the deals, and the Fire Marshall decided to hold our CO hostage over these other deals that had nothing to do with us. We had to call in a few favors to get this resolved, and had we not had a particular contact available to us, there's no telling how long we'd have needed to wait vs the less than 48 hours it did take

The problem is any plants that would be producing synthetic fuel, fertiliser, etc would all be operating 100% of the year. They wouldn't be an "on demand" plant - the economics wouldn't support it (mostly due to capex).

With excess wind/solar, pumped hydro would be the storage mechanism, but that clearly doesn't apply when a country has an excess of hydro too!

I see your argument that it can result in LONG TERM gains from which everyone will benefit but there are short term losers and the people on this sub are more than likely the short term losers from these layoffs.
You're being naive. The grass looks greener because you're used to your present day existence. If you actually took a 2/3 pay cut you'd see just how little money you really have at the end of the day.

It's far better to be bored and rich than engaged and poor. Especially in a field which has rapid pay increase potential like finance.

Agreed. And the article goes in great detail of why a non-ballistic hypersonic projectile is so difficult to stop -- everything is going at extreme speeds and there's little to no time to maneuver, so if it deviates from the predicted trajectory you cannot intercept it at all.

Why ignore all of the article? If a hypersonic missile can be intercepted by a Patriot, then it stands to reason it wasn't truly maneuverable, i.e. it was ballistic!

> According to the dictionary, morality is simply “ principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior.”

Right/wrong in this case are meant in the sense of "it's wrong to murder people" as opposed to "saying 2 + 2 = 5 is wrong." The former is a statement of morality, the latter is a statement of correctness. This does not link productivity / morality.

> Some would say that choosing being unproductive when you could be productive IS immoral.

Therefore it's not an axiom. Most people would only consider it immoral if you chose to be unproductive for the sake of being unproductive. For example, refusing to do your job while expecting to be paid is something many people would consider immoral.

This is different from choosing a path you prefer, that happens to be less productive. For example, doing something more slowly but more safely may be less productive but also something many would not consider immoral.

Last year, 2000 MW of wind power was built, at the end of the year total power was 5200 MW. Olkiluoto 3 nuclear reactor was brought online, 1600MW. Solar power nearly doubled, from 358 MW to 606 MW. So far this year 500MW of wind power and 100MW of solar has been added to the grid.

I'm similar to you in that I work in tech and love being outdoors and doing physical activities. What I'm realizing though, is my biggest chance at "making it big" is by doing the work I'm really good at.. which right now is tech work. Personally I have plenty of hobbies, but my long-term earning potential at those hobbies would be pretty low.

That being said, I also know people that have had tremendous success by making a business out of their hobby. Whether it be photography, bike repair, mechanic. It's cliche to say but the advice I'd give is stick to what you like, or what you're good at, or ideally both - and then pursue your hobbies part-time. If your full-time workload doesn't allow you to pick something up part-time. Find a slower paced environment that'll let you keep a salary you're used too, and afford you more time to play around with some part-time jobs and see if any of them could become a full-time gig for you.

If your only measurable metric is how much the company grows, you hire for the economy you're in, not the one you're headed into. The grew massively in the pre and mid Covid boom, and shrunk massively since then. Only if you care about profitability and employee welfare do you put the brakes on hiring. The company in question is all about market cap. They've got enough money to bankrupt nations; the only metric the board care about is power.
I guess one hand-picked "community" that installed their cameras had 4 break-ins in the year before and only 1 in the year after. That's probably the same effect as when you put a really good lock on your bike - the bike thieves will simply steal the bike next to yours that's not so well secured...

Transmission prices are a big chunk of the total per MWH cost even in times of normal prices. This is also why prices go negative in the first place, it costs money to use it.

I wonder what reasonable alternatives there are to fixed transmission prices. Though probably in times of high production, transmission would be more likely to be a bottleneck and priced even higher...

I am not trying to argue with you or change your mind, but I will write a few reasons why I see the term proxy war often used by pro-Putin commenters to push a narrative. Not saying you are. Using the term proxy war:

1. Makes it sound as if the USA is the cause of this war (they are in a proxy war) instead of an attack on Ukraine, and Ukraine seeking help from allies. As if the USA were driving the whole thing.

2. It perpetuates a cold war approach and vocabulary, making Russia look like the superpower it was (and is not anymore).

3. The cold war way of talking about it, additionally, makes it look like there are two sides, two alternatives, which are equally valid and justified.

Because of these reasons, I say there is a narrative, and do not consider the term neutral. I personally avoid the term proxy war because of the connotations above.
I admire your impulse to be more sensitive to people’s dreams.
I'm not sure how that would invalidate anything I wrote.
It's because the US only has two parties, and both parties have priorities that override privacy concerns: pro-police and anti-regulation on the one hand; pro-tech and pro-federal govt on the other.
I actually completely agree with you in your approach, but also feel you/we should not take upon our shoulders quite so much responsibility to make the things we build perfectly resilient to bad decisions made by successors in the future. Put another way, I love and also do the “Note: do not use “‘86400 seconds’ - fails 2x per year” comment - however, I have not ever had the “there goes my hard work” thought after I have quit. If they don’t hire equal or more competent developers than me, and they mess up things, that’s actually kind of funny! (Note: if I worked in the medical, military, or nuclear fields, I’d feel very differently!)
> You can't generalise like this.

I have never met that other kind of user.

Even when it's a small detail completely embedded on the context of the page, people get annoyed by modals. AFAIK, that happens on the desktop too (with the single exception of things like app settings).

I do believe in pushing a more usable design despite users not liking it a few times. But those times have to be few, and thus, you have to get a lot of extra usability out of it. Modal details isn't such an important use case, so I do recommend to avoid unless you gather your own evidence (and any UI recommendation can be ignored if you gather your own evidence), even if they are better.

I do recommend a default to avoid almost all of the use-cases people are posting for modals:

- click to enlarge is much better done inline;

- alerts are that one thing where modals became a caricature, modal alerts are absolutely shit;

- confirmation prompts should be avoided as much as you can (yeah, if you can't, make a modal);

- the 2 minutes rule from the OP, nope, if it can't be done inline, you can put it in another page.

I'm just not sure what consume and the Alpha have to do with each other. Consume is an attempt to give you a lightweight load when all you want are guarantees related to a dependent load. And the Alpha is the only machine I'm aware of where dependent loads don't give you any guarantees.

As far as lockless algorithms go - using something like Loom for Rust greatly simplifies correctness. It has a relatively complete implementation of the C++ memory model, and will catch bizarre edge cases you'd struggle to ever replicate on a real CPU. There are also solvers for C++ that help you do similar reasoning.

For _performance_, on the other hand, it's the wild west. I experimented with pairing my home grown system similar to Loom with a MESI cache simulator, testing cache behaviour with lockless algorithms banging on the same cache lines. It showed some promise, but was quite difficult to make ergonomic for the consumer.
A bit of a challenge in the Netherlands :-)
Hello @sshine! Erik from 1Password here.

> your software works as intended without an internet connection.

1Password works both online and offline. An internet connection is required to sync passwords across devices and to periodically verify the status of an account subscription. Besides that, the application remains fully functional when in an offline state for all intents and purposes.
That's true! I think the idea is more along the lines of 'do it on your own terms'.
Sounds like everything ended up great for your cousin, but in case he'd still like to be able to use a screen occasionally, I wonder if something like this might help: https://www.sunvisiondisplay.com/reflective-lcd-monitor

Eh there's plenty of work that needs to be done no one is going to give you shit for doing. Buy a shovel & hi-vis vest and dredge a neglected ditch or something. Getting paid the $110 isn't the important part of this exercise.
Hi Erik!

I'm trying again to contact support and get this finished. In the meantime I could try using a giftcard purchase since this uses shopify I heard?

My question here is if I purchase 100$ gift card and apply it to my account I'll be able to purchase my subscription for the first year, but what about the next year? Does the remaining credit get transferred to the next year? By that I mean is it reduced from total new amount if I change my payment method to creditcard next year?

Kind regards

This.

It's like no matter what you have to fight the intentions of the maker to get what you want.

On ubuntu you have to expunge snapd and now that ubuntu pro nagger, where in both cases they went out of their way to make these dofficult to remove by making half the os depend on them but only artificially through package manager declarations, nothing really depends on them. You can still get them out, but you're fighting the will of the supplier which did not go away. They or something else will always come back and need to be faught again.

On redhat it's less about the architecture of the distro and more about the company since beingvsold to ibm. destroying centos shows that they really do not want a centos to exist. centos-alikes have sprung up to replace it, but ibm's wishes did not go away, and so as soon as they can figure out a way to, they will make a centos (alma, rocky) users life a pain again.

I'm starting to think the answer to finding a distro that has no interest in controlling you and getting something out of you inwillingly is actually arch. Maybe nix but the indirection seems like the old programmer joke about the overengineered hello world. But they don't seem to be doing their annnoying weird thing to get anything out of you at least, more a genuine engineering experiment.

> Pulling totally bogus statistics out of your ass like "99.99% of your target audience

Please make some effort when refuting the arguments of others. See "target audience" in the part that you quoted? That's the keyword.

If one's making an augmented reality app that assists car mechanics in repairs, what would you say be the percentage of screen-reader wielding people there?

> And your claim that accessibility "worsen[s] their [non-disabled users] experience" is flat out wrong

For one, you are taking it out of context. For two, you keep repeating something as if it would make it true.

Here's a little exercise - consider what it would take to make https://finviz.com/bubbles.ashx page accessible. Then, consider what the target audience here is and ponder the choice of working on things that would benefit said audience (i.e. improving their experience) and refactoring the page to be compatible with screen readers. That's what I was referring to in the original comment. It's all in the context, it depends.
Batteries (lithium particularly) are not storage devices. They're grid stabilising devices. They are simply not able to store meaningful quantities of energy at an affordable price. In our city, we are installing a battery that can power 160k homes for 2h, at the cost of AU$200m. That's just not "storage", it's designed to flatten out peaks and troughs in supply.
What makes something suitable? The tooling and language servers around Python are atrocious, but it is nevertheless very widely used (including among academics, arguably one of the more serious fields. Of course it also generally produces absolutely garbage code, but I don't think that's the tooling's fault).
No, the model weights were not written by humans. We wrote an automatic optimisation process that found the weights on its own. No one claims it’s magical, just that we don’t understand them.

Sure, we can see the low level mathematical process that is going on, but that doesn’t tell us about the high level processes and why they are happening that way. It’s similar to just understanding how neurons fire wouldn’t give us a complete understanding of the human brain

Try watching by these videos that explain how neural networks work, and you’ll see how the training process find the weights on its own:
