No it wasn't the original spreadsheet. It was the original visual interactive spreadsheet.
Yeah, but you know why load breakers are usually in electrical rooms with a lock on them? Because that is one of the mechanisms used to ensure only authorized personal is doing the switching.

Guess where you don't have that? When you accept inputs via radio. The least you could do then is rate limit the input, better even would be authentication. This doesn't even has to be misuse. It could just be some wonky device sending the "wrong" sequence of zeros and ones on the right frequency and boom.

Guarding against this kind of interference is totally the task of the manufacturer. Designing the device in such a way, that you cannot turn a load switch into a makeshift dimmer for a short moment as well.
Why would a power meter allow an unauthenticated client to turn the thing on and off wireless?!? Sure, if you flip a switch handling a large current often enough, something will break (and I am impressed it's not the AC in this case).

But why does the power meter accept commands from something 'outside', something untrusted?

Yeah the last time I used arch (I guess about 4 years ago) that installer was in a pretty much permanent "under maintenance" state :) Cool to hear they fixed it since.
Usual definition of "almost everywhere" does not include American cities but almost everywhere else.
"just build more than enough solar/wind/battery/hvdc and transport it where needed. Faster, simpler, safer, cheaper."

Has anyone tried to calculate how much more is "more" and whether it is really faster, simpler, safer, cheaper etc.? At least region by region.

One counterexample. At least here in Europe, all plans to build massive solar plants in the Sahara and transmit the energy to Europe are facing the problem that a) it is not exactly fast, given that the Saharan desert is extremely hostile to human life, including that of the necessary workers, and the industrial base is far away, b) it is not that simple, given that distances involved are huge and there is a deep sea in the way, c) it is probably not safe, given that the North African countries are politically unstable and no one wants to be held hostage to yet another dictator threatening your energy supply (one Putin was enough), d) as a result of the previous factors, not cheap either.
This seems like a workaround, at best.

I assume this subreddit is not the only place on the internet with this kind of problematic data.

Wouldn't some sort of LRU scheme work better as some sort of PAGE-ing algorithm? Maybe RANK the employees to group by locality.
I know nothing of the VR space, but it's pretty clear that apple aims to have it being able to replaces every screen you can which for, adapted for every use, gaming, watching, producing. As good as your adequate TV, desktop or laptop monitor, except that it's the same one.

This is not something I felt on my superficial scanning of VR product news.

Where did this 85% figure come from?

Is 85% the new 80%?
But it doesn't look like Apple is betting on a Metaverse where you have your little virtual houses and objects, but rather putting monitors right in front of your eyes with an entire ecosystem where work and entertainment is the main focus, with the ability to include communicating with others.

Apple just skipped the 3D world-thing which is what Meta is focusing on and being pathetic at it.

To me this reads as if Mark is scared of what his employees are thinking of him, where what they have been working on is this toy, while Apple now presents a real device with some sensible use cases.

Also Apple's is see-through AR to blocking VR, while Meta's is blocking VR. His statement about the couch doesn't make sense at all.

He seems to be ashamed that they are not the leader in this space by a long shot, since this is what his company is supposed to be about.
Same with open office plans. Managers who implement them always seem to end up with a private office, for some weird reasons.
>apart from tech folks nobody seems to care

On the contrary, this is the first time that non techies are actually interested in it and debating its implications on the society.

And about the price tag, a quick search tells me that %18 of the American individuals and %34 of the households are making over 100K and there are over 5 million millionaires and 770 billionaires in the USA.

Even if pricey, it is within the reach of so many people's income levels which means if it is good enough and people will buy it.

The price anchoring effects are strong but Apple is capable of creating its own anchors. Consider the iPhone, the iPhone 14 pro costs less than %25 of the monthly pay check of an average American and you say it's expensive. In the other extreme - Turkey, the iPhone 14 Pro costs about 5x the average salary(iPhone 14 pro is 2350$ today and the average salary is less than 500usd) and people still buy it. It was never THIS bad, but even in the good times an iPhone would cost more than the average salary and everyone bought one and the Apple's market share is over %20.

Moral of the story, if you make something that people want badly they will find a way to get it.
I got a bit suspicious when I could only find the most recent year figures for the Finnish power plants but having now found the life time figures they are still incredibly impressive at ~88% for Loviisa and ~92% for Olkiluoto.

In the UK you have multiple reactors with 68% Load Factor.

If I ever need to build a Nuclear Reactor I am definitely getting the Finns to run it.

As a PhD and a hobby writer myself, I tend to put a lot of attention on first sentences. And it is something that all academics do, specially when submitting to the highest divinities, i.e. Science and Nature.

The first sentence in the structured abstract of this paper is curious:

> Aging is an inevitable multifactorial process.

If the paper were discussing aging in general, the use of the word "inevitable" would be an expected adjective. Not entirely useful, it wouldn't be new information because everybody knows that aging is inevitable, but excusable.

Yet, the paper is discussing counteracting--if only a little--aging. I would have written "Aging is a poorly understood multifactorial process" (to be modest), or "Aging is the combination of natural drift and degradation in complex systems and evolved coping mechanisms" (to set the world on fire).

So, to me, this first sentence sounds like cultural subservience: "Before you get the pitchforks and the bonfires, we don't want to be young forever, please spare us. Now, with that out of the way, aging is a multifactorial..."
"7 countries voted that it is"

That's 7 out 193 countries. Hmm, I wonder why.

By the way, the Ukraine itself didn't recognize the obvious genocide of Armenians by Turkey during WW1.[0] Countries can be very flexible when recognizing or not recognizing something as genocide is in their interest.

> Why is he beating around the bush so much ?

He is asking for clarification, something you do when you have a good business relationship with someone.

> He wants to sell, shut down, or whatever for a $10M payout.

He doesn't. He is saying that 20$M is clearly overpriced and that if it was true then reddit would come up with a ludricous number like 10M to make that API be turned off. He just uses quiet because reddit described the API use as Loud.

It's not an offer, it's calling someone's bluff out.

Think in poker someone says "my hand is worth 20 million" and you got pretty good cards you would tell them "go all in because I am gonna keep covering whatever you raise" and then they do not go All In, you got a pretty good case to think their initial comment was not true.

Wow man you really are hell bent on this and how I should feel about it. IMO pretty much all consumer tech starts as a toy until some higher utility/use case is found. They’ve not initially presented one, that I feel is compelling, so it’s still in the toy category. Obviously apple sees and wants things to mature (likely via third party dev efforts).

It reminds me of when the first iPhone came out. I was so excited. Then I learned it didn’t have GPS. I felt like screen and touch stuff was cool, but that location was what was needed to make it really shine. It didn’t get it until v3 and I waited. In that case, I at least knew what I was waiting specifically. This is more of a wait and see type thing.

I think Apple will probably have more success with this than any one else would. But I just don’t see it as a “want” and certainly not as a “need” at this point. Like I’ve said, when price comes down or a killer app surfaces that’s another game and I may change my opinion. I’m talking initially taking off as a product/category, as not likely. It will be a slow hard battle similar to others in this space.

Since the advent of cheap SDRs and TI CC1100 devkits it's been a case of "grab code off Github and go do shenanigans". The only specialness here is that it's battery powered, but even previously you could have been running a laptop and HackRF in your backpack.
What does this have to do with environmental harm? I thought the discussion was about animal population.

It's possible the ER doc meant most powerful that he could legally prescribe given the clinical presentation; or perhaps he was just saying that because you don't give someone medication and say "well, you just got a basic painkiller, it's near the end of the its use-by, maybe it'll work", you say "We're giving you the best". It's the placebo effect, albeit with a medication that should work regardless.

I don't like the "trim fat" methaphor. Layoffs are more or less random. There is no good, from the company perspective, selection.
what puzzles me the most is that reddit's reasoning for charging money for their API is that "it's bad that other people are profiting from our work and it's too expensive to maintain without someone paying it".

hey, guess what? reddit "profits" a LOT from unpaid work from their moderators. if you wanna charge for API access, you should also pay your moderators since you are profiting from their work.
Too bad some modern sites even somehow block middle clicks.

Ok, but you're certainly atypical in this respect.
> Ok it's not technically illegal it's just extremely unprofessional. If a business did that people would erupt.

The CEO of the company spread a rumour, knowing its false, about him. That is Slander and it IS illegal.

Lying at the start of the year about how you do not have a short or medium term plan for an api payed model and then in June springing 30 day time period (when apple apps review can take two weeeks by itself) is extremely unprofessional but not illegal.

See the difference?

I've mentioned this in another WSJ just five days ago:

"For context, Fortune, WSJ, FT, etc. have all been consistently over the past 2 quarters churning out several opinion articles on the topic of remote work."

It is an obvious concerted effort to shape public opinion in order to save commercial real estate investors who were caught with their pants down now that several companies are not renewing leases.
The A1 type notation was already in use with computerised spreadsheets so it definitely wasn't new. As was the principle of cells holding formulae.

Top Talent, Elite Colleges, and Migration: The IITs
Yes? I did this at my last company and it ruled.

I could have been fully remote, but I wanted to be in the office most days because I liked the routine and liked talking to the people who did want to come in. And my commute was short.

I would have to zoom most people on my team for meetings anyway because they live all over the world. (This is, btw, a good thing: it means we had people working on the project 24/7, each with access to different resources. I was online with the video team and could ping them with any questions, my teammate +8 hours away was online with the majority of infra folks and could get extra support with deployments. etc)

If you have to zoom people anyway, why would it matter whether they live near you and decided to stay home, or live on another continent?

I got both benefits of:
1. Getting to be social in person with other likeminded people
and 2. Having happier teammates who didn't have to sacrifice 3 hours every day commuting and were that much more alert and efficient for it.
If you have a quick and high return, it can be very much worth it.

Aspects of fascism are not "just politics" in healthy countries.

> Rally around the flag, point to the external enemy, it's all pre-industrial, fascists didn't invent it.

Flags were far less common or standardised in pre-industrial societies. People didn't fight for their lord or king because of propaganda about an external enemy (with the possible exception of the crusades), but simply because their lord or king wanted to go to war and that was their place in the world.

> What was unique about fascism was the ethnic superiority

That too existed before. There were many places in the Middle Ages where Jews had reduced rights, for example. It's the kind of division that fascism loves to build on.

> unifying totalitarianism where all public/private resources are aimed at national goals.

That's more like it. More specifically, the extreme nationalism and elevating those national goals to some higher ideal and inevitable necessity. And that's something Russia definitely does. Or tries. You're right that they're not very effective at it, but it is definitely how Putin talks, and how the fascist ideologues he relies on, talk.
> Guile is base Scheme plus some SRFIs plus some more extensions. None of this is useful outside the Guix bubble, because it is not really used for anything outside that bubble.

"idiotic sloganeering argumentation"?

> honest technical comparison

let me spell it out for you in another way

nix is developed in cpp (which itself is a huge collection of dsls) and you use its own (poorly documented) dsl to interact with it

guix is developed in guile and you use guile to interact with it

this alone implies that you get far more from just learning guile than nix dsl if all you want to do is package management

as for a one to one technical comparison, it is just a google search away: https://gist.github.com/abcdw/e54807b0a25e61fe2cf1bf8991410f...

>I suppose pointing at a hundred Texmacs users who picked it up after being exposed to Guix would prove me wrong, but good luck with that.

you keep sloganeering that guile is useless outside of guix. i find it pretty funny how willing you are to twist the picture of reality in order for it to fit your world view. i already pointed you to another significant project that uses guile. here is the part in their documentaion spelling out their choice for guile: https://spritely.institute/static/papers/spritely-core.html#...

as for texmacs, i dont know where you are pulling your numbers from, but i for one used texmacs for writing papers before even considering taking on software development professionally. so please don't be triggered if i dont take your claim at face value
Frick. Yeah not as clear cut as I thought.
I’ve never seen stray dogs in the US while living here and I haven’t seen stray dogs in the 6-7 Western and Southern European countries I’ve traveled to.

I don’t think there’s anything remarkable about no stray dogs in the UK. Further, since dogs don’t breed as rapidly as other stray animals (especially cats) and also have far shorter lifespans, there are far easier and far more humane ways and of eliminating stray dogs without mass killing them.
Nuke plant aside, why would the Russians blow the main water supply to Crimea after only recently getting it back flowing? Or flood out the "Russian" side (their claim, not mine) of the area including their own troops? Especially when they could have just opened the gates. Guess I'm not understanding the logic or advantage here.
Wind and solar overtake fossil fuels in the EU
Another issue is transmission. The best solar and wind sites are often not near existing transmission capacity.

I remember reading an article about how old coal mines and plants are getting second lives as solar or wind farms because they already have large transmission lines.

Nuclear might have the same issue, since these days I would imagine it would be hard to get a plant approved near a highly populated area.
