You are describing e-fuels. Hydrogen from excess renewables is the same idea. The critics are simply not paying attention to the fact that green energy is nearly free and therefore fuels made from it can also be nearly free.
Can you explain how the costs pencil out?

Today, in Finland, renewables produced between 0,2 GW and 1,5 GW.

Does that mean I would need $450M (1,5 GW * $300/kW) in electrolysers to soak up all that power?

For simplicity's sake, let's say output averages 1GW over 24 hours? What do I get for the day with my $450M electrolysis plant?
Emphasis not just in the narrow sense of showing intense emotion, but rather the general concept of giving a sentence rhythm and prosody, often to highlight a wry or ironic situation. Your analysis is correct that GP likely did not do it entirely to invite readers to get annoyed on their behalf, but rather to humourously focus on the contrast between the arduity of setting up and waiting for a dual-boot on one hand, and playing a "f*cking game" on the other.

If you actually read the post and not just the title, you would see the author is specifically talking about cellphones, and in particular, smartphones. So, my usage of the word phone was in line with how the author used it, thus, the comment was understandable to everyone else who also actually read the article.
I'm sort of surprised these users would care. They literally went to go download an extension to let anyone track/survellied them however they wanted.

But oh no, now there's a big corp that owns the extension! And they might be survellied!
> An app like Apollo - which is so important Apple is featuring front and center

Being featured by Apple doesn't pay the bills and Reddit obviously doesn't listen.

> won't attempt to add some caching, poll less for push notifications

The Apollo developer has repeatedly asked Reddit to offer a more efficient method of getting notifications that doesn't require polling. The app backend already uses caching and only a small fraction of the allowed request budget. Reddit doesn't care.

> and/or charge $5/month

$5/month are not enough, in case you didn't notice Reddit's new pricing is insane. Also according to the developer about 10% of users pay the monthly premium subscription. Make it mandatory and most users will be gone.

> At the minimum they could sell to someone else for many millions of dollars, and they'll do the things I described

Even if the things you described weren't already long implemented, they don't change the prices which are simply too high for third-party apps to survive.
I think the feds use a different definition of "good at the job" than you do. They are slow, but they are inexorable. They very rarely lose once they bring charges.

Perhaps this should change. I can understand taking a while to decide to bring charges against Coinbase, but ten years?
It's not for performance but for not having to permanently store terabytes of differently encoded data.

You could possibly also pre-populate cache - all new media files get sent to encoder and cached preemptively, and if they are popular enough they just stay there till they are not.

I'd say whatever it is, it's been happening for a looong time, considering they've still never fixed the glaring bug in previous versions where the down arrow takes you to the second file in the list. Or where you go to save a file (save as), and you put your cursor at the end of the file name to rename just part of it, the cursor randomly-but-not-always jumps to the beginning of the file.
You could take a look at Postgres + TimescaleDB extension, which offers a nice time_bucket() function on its hypertables[1]. You can also materialize using continuous aggregates („self updating“ materialized views).

Apple has a huge gaming platform, and it isn't the Mac.

However, I imagine that they'd still like to sell more games in the Mac App Store (in addition to iOS ports, iPad games that can run on Apple Silicon, and Apple Arcade subscriptions) and this might help.

It might also make it easier to port games to Apple Arcade.
I built a simulator to allow you to experience what it is like to type in Dvorak before committing to learn the layout. It assumes that you can touch-type in QWERTY. Enter some text into the first text box, and it gives you the equivalent keypresses to make [in QWERTY] that would output the same sentence in Dvorak.

Its really sad more than anything. The modern march of technology has been to take what used to be open standard technologies used by the average computer user at the time, privatise them, wall up the gardens, and lock people in. Now you have people beholden to reddit and discord instead of irc and a self hosted web forum. It reminds me of those quick change oil places: an entire industry with serious real estate holdings exists solely because most people have no clue how to unscrew three things and pour in oil themselves. Its an example of yet another industry with a financial incentive towards widespread ignorance.
A big, and already mentioned in this thread, issue is when ignorant people start to reimport words from other languages (English these days), and that catches up to some extent, even though educated people are using some proper term for decades or centuries.

You may end up having multiple conflicting ways to describe the same thing or even a person. A few days ago I saw Hades transliterated as Гадеc in some web comic translation, even though he is usually called Аид for many centuries already.

> How is it legal to add ads into an already sold product afterwards?

I assume that, unless they advertised it as being free of advertisements, that there is no conflict with them adding them into the product later. They can make even make an argument that those ads add value: wow, you get to learn about all these cool products that are relevant to you! But in general, I don't believe inserting ads into an existing product is against the law on its face. It's a shitty thing to do though.
Probably an issue during localization, where someone saw "zip" and assumed it meant "zip code" and so "translated" it to "postcode". This is a perfect example of why its important to also supply the context instead of just the raw strings you need translated!

It also brings to mind a translation issue from my home country, wales, where road signs must be bilingual (english and welsh). A request was sent to a welsh translation service asking for the translation for a specific phrase. The signwriters received the response, completed the sign and it was then erected. The problem: it was an out-of-office auto-reply! https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/mistranslated-welsh-traffi...

> That nicely demonstrates the poor Qwerty layout. The very first keys you learn are among the least used, especially semicolon

OMG no it does not, your argument is ridiculous. You have to learn all the fingers and then all the keys before you can touchtype, no matter what layout you are learning. You can't efficiently touchtype 20 letters of the alphabet then take your hands off to hunt and peck the rest on a dvorak or a qwerty.

What letter you are instructed to learn first is immaterial. (and in GP's example, since I was taught by the same system, you don't learn semicolon as your 3rd letter, he just threw that in; you learn to rhythmically intersperse pointers (index fingers) and thumbkins/space first, then you add in tall-men, interspersed, etc. then moving between rows.)

what you are trying to connect your argument to, unsucessfully, is the idea that index fingers are naturally the best typists (coordination, musculature), so "let's give them the most common letters to type", which dvorak does. But this also implies, btw, that your worst finger, pinky, will over time also get the least exercise, so the gulf between its skill and pointer's skill will grow, not shrink. (I'm not saying that's more than a 2nd order effect, just sayin, muscle memory, 10,000 hours...)

In Eugene O'Neill's "Long Day's Journey into Night" written 1939–41 but set earlier in the century, the protagonist illustrates the cheapness and miserly ways of his father by complaining how always he's yelling people to turn off the unneeded lights.

It sounded miserly to me, but running lights was more expensive than I realized.
I especially object to the case of zip-code being used internationally, because this isn’t a case of a sensible alternative usage, but rather one very specific US term being interpreted as universal.

Please, for internalisation sake, use the generic term ‘postal code’ in English , then regionalise as appropriate (e.g. Post Code in the UK, Eircode in Ireland, Postal Index Number in India, Zip code in the US, etc.)
Precision might be an overshoot, but providing SI measurements along the obsolete yet better sounding to NA ear units is quite nice.

Right, but isn't there value in concentrating wealth to those who you have psychological proximity with?

Consider a more dire twist: you have money to pay for a life-saving operation for either your own child or another child on the other side of the world. Are you saying there is should be no personal preference in this scenario?

I'm saying there are perfectly reasonable expectations to concentrate that wealth due to human psychology once you move away from the academic and abstract.

The issue re; Office and Teams is likely simply due to Microsoft being a U.S.A. based company. Many corporations here sadly believe themselves to be the "center of their Universe" and forget about everywhere and everyone else, even when they do business world-wide, or run a business that somehow affects everyone. There's also a long-standing issue with many software developers (especially in corporate environments) not considering issues of "accessibility" by people outside their "local norm" until they're forced to consider the issue. We also have a highly "xenophobic" subset of our population that contribute somewhat to "foreign" language issues as well (which is quite odd, considering how much of our population consists of "immigrants" or the descendants thereof; nearly all of us?), being that we're supposedly "the Great Melting Pot" nation here, as well as being a popular "tourist" destination.

I think they might actually help kill reddit faster. A lot of people have joked already that these protests will finally be the kick to get them to quit wasting time on the site. I'd bet that numbers do drop a lot after the protests and at least a few users end up leaving for good.
Yeah, you've got the right idea. Specifically, functions that operate on TIMESTAMPTZ aren't typically marked as IMMUTABLE (because their output implicitly depends on the connection-level time zone setting), and that IMMUTABLE flag is required for functions used in indexed expressions.

If I could wave a magic wand I'd bring him back and get the judge to give him a token sentence, or remand it to a civil matter -- breach of contract since he was a contractor), but that's just my opinion. I think there's ambiguity with respect to whistleblower laws, and he might want to stay out because he doesn't feel like he will get a fair trial, which, if I were him, I would not expect.
> The basic premise is that the act of science and knowledge acquisition cyclically devolves into ideology and is then disrupted.

This can happen of course, but it's not really what Kuhn is talking about. Kuhnian paradigm shifts are to science what massive refactorings are to a codebase: the problem isn't that the old code was wrong (though it might also be wrong), it's that it can't be extended to meet new requirements. And while some of us are better at writing extensible code than others, no one gets it right every single time.

> isn't there value in concentrating wealth to those who you have psychological proximity with

Yes. That's why I said the difference isn't invalid. It's just more like a hidden redistributive tax.

In small doses, this is fine and a way democracies repay their patrons. In larger doses, it leaves everyone poor. Too poor to afford a life-saving operation for anyone around.
Not really. Cookie banners are irrelevant and do not preclude tracking, they just take up space and give a false sense of privacy. These users installed the extension because they'd rather not see the pop-up to begin with. And then Avast bought the extension.

That's a fair criticism, they really do, and any kind of law tends to disproportionally target minorities.

That said, I fail to see how this particular law could be abused in that way, after all, the typical hacking investigation doesn't really know much about the perp until the moment of apprehension. It's after that moment that most of the concern for minorities should kick in, because most of the real life trouble has to do with abusive treatment by the authorities once someone became an identified target. Racial profiling and all kinds of other abuses have been heaped upon minorities time and again, but in the context of hacking suspects prior to apprehension I have no evidence that this has happened.

Usually the problem that this phase of an investigation focuses on (the access to systems that are compromised) is when the hacker is still unknown other than that the authorities are aware they exist.

But I don't doubt that if someone does get arrested and they happen to be a minority that the system will not treat them equally compared to someone who is not a minority. This is a systemic problem that needs addressing, but it isn't directly connected to this law.
