Induction stoves with batteries built in, and why they matter

A conversation with Sam Calisch of Channing Street Copper Company and Wyatt Merrill of DOE.

Why do people here always seem to assume the only students who can't pay off their loans were the ones with liberal arts degrees?
I’m honestly torn on this topic.

I disagree that this stuff can’t be predicted. Don’t blame this on the economy. MANY students are taking out massive loans for majors that have dreary job prospects. They do this because there is a culture of viewing college as an “experience”, chasing “what you love”, and also because kids are naive. You know what i love? Not being hungry. Having my own place. Money for fun activities.

It’s a failure of high school really. By the time kids graduate high school they should at least have an understanding of basics like:
- is college right for me?
- how to research the job prospects for major X in city/region Y?
- long term risks to career X? (automation, offshoring, etc)
- how long will it take to get my degree? is the total cost worth it? what’s the break even point?

Obviously i’m generalizing here, but don’t tell me my friends from college who took out $100k in loans to be a political science major picked a low risk path. Don’t even get me started on the art majors. They had a shocked pikachu face after graduation. I did not.

As a thought exercise, what if (moving forward) the government categorized majors by risk (job prospect risks). Imagine if student loans were offered with varying interest rates, based on the risk taken on by the student. For example, a student wants to take a big loan in a risky major like art? Fine - but they should pay more interest on that loan and be forced to sign a form agreeing that it’s a high risk choice. What would be the pros/cons of such a system?

To be 100% transparent - my opinion is that some people have bad luck. I feel for those people 100%. However some people don’t have teachers/friends/family in their lives to teach them how to think and make decisions. And the govt subsidizes those poor choices on a massive scale. The incentives are backwards.
This seems a fun direction of thought. So does it cease to become a vehicle as soon as someone sits in it, and resume its functionality as a vehicle as soon as it is abandoned?
The question wasn’t about being called out on it (or punished/prosecuted/whatever). It was simply asking if it violated the rule.
Affine in this case is referring to not being able to use values after they have been moved. When I say not able to use, I mean that it's a compile time error to attempt to use them.

C++ does not restrict you from using things after they have been moved and therefore does not have affine typing!
"travois". It's basically a sledge dragged along the ground and pulled by (usually) a horse.

I think "travois" is something you either know or you know you're going to have to look it up, so there's no risk of confusion. "Matchbox car" seems like something someone might not know, but just think "oh, a car, I know what a car is" without realizing it's a toy.

That said, I also felt like the description didn't explain it well enough. There are electric toy cars that kids actually ride in and drive around. The thing about a matchbox car is that it's the size of a matchbox.
There are two ways to approach the problem. Either to be dogmatic about the wording or to be practical. I ended up with only one "is a vehicle" because I was enforcing it the way I would enforce a rule like that in real life, a practical rule. If you were being dogmatic about the wording you would undermine the likely intent of the sign by kicking people out of their wheelchairs and having to shoot down the ISS. Rigid adherence to bad (or even just badly worded) rules is its own form of tyranny, one that is even more insidious because it has a veneer of legitimacy. Much evil has been perpetrated throughout history by people who were "just following orders".
Maybe you missed this blog post of Timothy Snyder [1] from October last year:

Is it a stretch to suppose that Prigozhin is sparing whatever valuable men and material he has left? He has been openly recruiting Russian prisoners to fight for Wagner in Ukraine; I would venture the supposition that he is sending them to die and keeping back the men and equipment who might have a future in some other endeavor. [...] In the overall logic that I am describing, rivals would seek to conserve whatever fighting forces they have, either to protect their own personal interests during an unpredictable time, or to make a play for Moscow.

There may be a bias of opinions here of people who otherwise are totally qualified for the job that they are applying for bemoaning all the hoops that they have to jump through to show that they are qualified.

I’d say about a good one in eight people who have passed the phone screen end up with shockingly dismal results in the technical screen. There really is a bimodal distribution of skill in the industry. The goal of these assessments isn’t to see how good folks are but to weed out those who are absolutely terrible.
Looks really cool! Gives me similar vibes as EDEX-UI[1]

> Yes, I'm aware this has nothing to do with the point of the exercise.

No actually I do think it does and is captured beautifully in the game. Things that clearly once vehicles are arguably no longer - like the war tank.

Like Michelangelo's David, is the nudity porn? is it obscene? for who? Is this a website about art? or a porn site? education site? a site for children?

Each one of those sites have differing views of the exact same thing.

Love this exercise.
>NASA doesn't need to invest in its own engines. RS-25 is just something congress forced on them. In reality the private companies are developing lots of engine, Raptor is just one example. I have documented this in my top level post.
NASA and DoD are both committed to buying rockets on commercial rockets, and all of the competitors view engine development as a majorly important.

I was trying to convey that NASA hasn't been able to systematically embrace efficient reusability. Put differently, in the US, reusability is a thing *despite* the 'old guard' (NASA hasn't pushed the development of reusable vehicles itself, it has merely accepted them when private individuals got frustrated enough to do it themselves), while in Europe, it's promising that the ESA itself is invested in reusable rocketry.

>Not sure what you mean? ULA is adopting a pretty modern engine. That engine took a while to develop but that isn't so surprising. And it isn't ULAs fault.

I'm not taking a shot at BE-4, it's a modern engine, it's reusable and development delays are in the past now. What I'm saying is that ULA, for its so-called next-gen rocket, plans something as 'dumb' as 'SMART' reuse for those engines, which is a waste given their capabilities.

Overall, my argument was that NASA and the contractors it has been mostly associated with, are far less invested in truly reusable rocketry (ie not the Shuttle) than Europe is right now.

As far as Europe's crewed spaceflight capability goes, they do have experience building space station modules. So I wouldn't go as far as saying that they have never even "come close to" crewed spaceflight, but I agree that by my own argument, Europe is not as invested in crewed spaceflight than the US.

To explain why this bothers me, as part of Artemis, NASA has repeatedly used the phrase "sustainable presence", yet the way they behave as an organization does not correspond with wanting to be sustainable. To me it's seeming increasingly more likely that Artemis too will fade out after a few landings.
Are ravioli sandwiches?
> yes, all 3 regiments, none left in Moscow

Nobody said Moscow is undefended. Just less able to defend itself than usual. Much of the Russian Western military district is deployed towards Ukraine. Sensibly, Putin’s most loyal should have been held back. But the war is going terribly. If his loyalists were forward deployed, that changes the calculus.
Nah.

Consent matters.

I think it’s more disrespectful to put a meeting on someone’s calendar without an agenda or explaining it’s purpose.

To do so demonstrates that you believe you’re entitled to their time and that your purpose is more important than anything else they had to do at that time.

If you are expected, then that should be communicated before the meeting is scheduled.

For example, a good manager will…

1) tell you during onboarding what/when/where the expected team ceremonies take place.

2) give you at least a heads up via chat before putting a surprise meeting on your calendar
Fascinating, I didn’t know that. Apparently it’s like crows mobbing an owl or an eagle.

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10211-022-00394-1
>can contribute immediately which unfortunately means tough decisions

You probably dodged a stressful position. Companies or teams that can’t allocate time to onboard talent are likely poorly run and can’t afford to invest in people. “Contributing immediately” is a fair indicator of that problem.
The space shuttle carried politicians, though! The mission that landed right before Challenger carried the now-administrator of NASA and then Florida Congressman Bill Nelson. They also took up a republican rep or senator from Utah (where the SRBs were built).

That’s pretty much the NASA equivalent of “paying customers.”

I actually don’t disagree with your point at all, it’s just funny to look back at the teacher in space and who preceeded McAuliffe and who would have been next if Challenger hadn’t blown up (probably Walter Cronkite or Dan Rather).
If people don't agree on it, then the clarity you feel is an illusion. The point of rules is common understanding of what is acceptable. Notably, you pulled a bunch of special cases and refinements from thin air. The way I read the setup, it was "crystal clear" that the rule was violated by emergency services, even if we could agree afterwards not to enforce it there.

And, yes, of course, moderation questions are much harder. At least with the vehicle thing people aren't usually aren't deliberately constructing tricky cases.
> Is a pizza folded in half a sandwich?

If you don’t cut it, no.

If you cut it at the fold, yes.

Now what if the pizza crust is toasted enough that, while it was not your intent, it breaks evenly at the seam during the act of folding it in half, and then you proceed to collapse the two halves before taking a bite. Did you have a sandwich for lunch?
USB is too low a voltage to be useful. You will always need an adaptor to get from mains voltage to something useful for devices. There is nothing wrong with AC for mains, and the ease of transformers is not to be ignored.

Current voltage AC is still ideal for powering a house '
Generally, people with STEM degrees can pay off their student loans within several years of working.
The second page of instructions actually specifically addressed that: "Again, please answer the question of whether the rule is violated (not whether the violation should be allowed)."

I went with "yes, violation" with the understanding that it's one that would be allowed. Perhaps I was wrong to mix "would" and "should".
Is your strawman that only one of the quotes is what was said? Did you bother reading both quotes?
Of course it will, since you'll either get the commit you wanted at the time you wrote the script, or an error.
i've done lots of data science take homes, and the vagueness is a huge killer. they'll hand you a dataset and give you an open ended prompt to 'analyze it'.

do they just want to see that yoiu know how to load a csv file and make a barplot? or do they want a showcase of advance statistical modeling to see where your ceiling is?
> there’s no reason to make a big deal out of it because that’s what I’m hired for

I grew up in Europe, so I understand what you’re saying. Constant self promotion is one thing. Knowing when to point out that you have the skills to help or taking credit when it’s due (and callable upon) is another. Most of the people who complained about not being able to do the latter had little more than effort to call on.
They address all of the possibilities. They aren't redirecting, they are being through. Summarizing it, the intro says, "Some agencies think that the first person to get the virus got it naturally, some others think that the first person to get it was exposed to it from the WIV. No agencies think that it was bioengineered."
Speed and impact on the user are meaningful differences. I don't like bikes in parks (except those designed for them) because the bikes are moving much faster than anything else. For that reason I might feel that a small child on a bike is more permissible than an adult. Also that the carried skateboard is not a violation - I understand the rule to be about vehicle use more than presence
Many conspiracy theorists have claimed it was a bio-weapon, along with other batshit stuff like Bill Gates & 5G. Read both quotes, not just the last one.
It does seem American to me (as a European) too. But i like it and it works. We seem really bad at this kind of PR at this side of the pond
In my opinion, it is a good example of a document-type website, can you share the technology stack?
Even for no-fly zones, we don't say 'in' the place. We say in the zone. We're over the place, but in the zone.

> They refused to believe in masks,

As someone that believed in masks from the very beginning. The CDC and Fauci himself said masks were useless at the start of the pandemic. Stop being a pawn.
> Apparently we should just review github OSS contributions and how many unit tests they write.

No, but speaking from experience - also don't reach out to senior, employed devs for a role, then waste their time with whiteboard leetcode quizzes to "make sure they aren't fakers or coasting, we have sooo many applicants".

In those cases, a conversation is really more valuable, we aren't interns.
The real problem is a society that allows loans to exist where the loanee has no meaningful collateral. If an institution cannot fill its classrooms without stooping to such predatory financial structures then perhaps it just shouldn't exist in the first place. But America is still too drunk on laissez faire capitalism to muster any will for legislative action in that regard.
To reinforce, this is harder to achieve than it might seem. Sparking in switches and buttons and electrostatic discharge both are kind of invisible in normal environments but can be disaster on an oil rig or in an area of a hospital where pure oxygen is flowing. All the paperwork and monitoring to make sure that the design is correct and that the manufacturing stays within spec costs money too.
I use Linux Mint for a similar host set up. Its worth it to move away from virtualBox to the open source versions as I did recently, KVM etc.

There are quite a few paper cuts in setting it up the first time. I recall it took about five hours before I finally had my first VM in the right place, with right size of disk space and ram and the version of linux I wanted. But after the learning curve it becomes very easy. Honest :)
> being loud; having a lot of inertial momentum when colliding with pedestrians; littering (the horse example);

Well, there are many possible options, so this does not help unless you know which issue was bothering the rule-makers.

I know a park that allows horses but not bicycles.
> while this exact scenario

And of course, no citation ever given. Every Russian is woke and we’re just ignorant.

Every western expert everywhere has been saying forever that Putin wasn’t going anywhere until someone in the defense arena had enough to take on the security state. And it won’t matter how it turns out, as the new Vlad will be the same as the old Vlad.

We know all we need to know abput Russia. A people without agency looking for a new daddy.
Broken window fallacy?

But true, as a training exercise it has some value, so long as those resources weren't needed elsewhere at the time.
In winter cloudy conditions solar PV produces 10-15% power. Assuming some hydro storage, that's 4x overbuild. Not cost effective.

Europe all gets winter at the same time. If you've got a cold snap for three weeks with low wind, the only plan is reliance on massive fossil fuel backup. The cost of keeping that capacity for only using a week a year isn't priced into solar either.

The CO2-intensity of electricity generation in France stood at around 57 CO2/kWh in 2020 (source: Statista). In Germany, the electricity mix at the same time had a CO2-intensity of 366g CO2/kWh, which was more than six times higher

But yeah Germany's approach is really working!
The people who most laugh about Darwin Awards can usually be found punching down at people who are just less fortunate, and mocking other people who are just struggling with life.
Professionals holding this believe it was probably an accidental leak. Conspiracy theorists and laypeople believe it's probably a bioweapon. It's hard to have discussions about this because the two positions get lumped together.
Explorer has gotten a lot worse recently. I wonder what's really going here. For instance, it doesn't remember your folder windows after restart anymore, despite still being an option in the folder options.
The Wuhan Institute of Virology was working on adding a unique furin cleavage site to a bat coronoavirus strain to make it bind to human ACE-2 receptors.

This is factual, because the grant proposals are out there and DARPA in the US turned them down:

https://theintercept.com/2021/09/23/coronavirus-research-gra...

Suddenly, we have a global pandemic featuring a bat coronavirus with a unique furin cleavage site that binds to human ACE-2 receptors, out of Wuhan, China, directly next to the lab where they were studying this.

What are the chances?

We know what they were studying because all of the grants, emails, and other information from NIH to EcoHealth Alliance have been acquired via the Freedom of Information Act:

I came to the comments to find out what's going on with the 11%. I was worried that if I agreed with the majority just 11% of the time I must have reversed the buttons or something. But my choices mostly agree with the graph, so I don't think I made an error. I guess everyone gets 11%?
> Can one use QEMU to emulate the 8-bit RISC?

They're arguably not RISC cores, but the docs here are referring to NuttX's support for avr and z80. And, no, qemu doesn't support those archs AFAIK.

> What would that even be used for? Is that some embedded device things?

Yes, as is NuttX usage in general.
You’re absolutely right! My bad, I appear to have forgotten that rule by the time I commented. Glad I called it a violation :)
1. On-site

Are the best developer candidates looking for on-site roles? I don’t know any that prefer an office setting.

2. Whiteboards

Yet another way to test developers on stuff that is unrelated to the work. I don’t even like writing with my hands all that much because I’m on a keyboard all day.

I get into a whiteboard and I am being tested on writing skills, how visual my thought process is, how my handwriting is, how comfortable I am in a public speaking position…all great qualities, but all entirely unrelated to programming in a team.

Is whiteboarding even a realistic exercise in typical multi-office or remote companies? If I’m presenting to coworkers I’m probably on zoom in my development tools right? That’s not a whiteboard.
Why use a strictest sense? Why not a sense considered appropriate assuming the context?
In every single video I've seen of him he looks drunk.

I wonder, if they were to repeat the whole process again, with all Hardware, Servers, being immediately available. MRSK fine tuned and known from day 1.

How long would the whole process take? Could it be done in 3 weeks? I assume most of the time will actually be Data transfer?
I guess he didn’t know how safety conscious and risk averse the oil and gas industry actually is. You can be at a meeting in a conference room in downtown Houston, and they’ll start the meeting — like, every single one — with a safety minute and directions to the nearest stairwell.

The operators with the kind of risk tolerance to support this kind of, uh, venture can’t afford to do deepwater exploration - that’s solely the domain of the industry mega-giants, which are the most safety conscious and risk averse of all. The odds of getting a contract with, say, Exxon for anything resembling that piece of shit submarine are just vanishingly small. I actually don’t think the accident makes that prospect any less likely - it was already about as close to 0 as you can get.
They're still alive (most of them anyway)! Imagine looking up your own Wikipedia page and they've got a photo of you from 40 years ago. That'd be rude! It's like pretending they're already dead just because they're not in the spotlight anymore.

In addition, for all the child actors except Lloyd, we don't have any free photos of them as children (and that childhood photo of Lloyd isn't very good – the one in the article is the only one we have).

As for Carrie Fisher, our only 1970s photo of her sucks (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Carrie_Fisher_with_W...), and anyway she did do a lot of noteworthy acting well after Star Wars (look at her awards section).

For Harold Ramis, we have pretty slim pickings: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Harold_Ramis
Nobody provided the definition of vehicle either. The summary references lawyers using a variation of this game, but most legalese I've seen as a layperson usually starts by defining terms.
I think a biological weapon deliberately released makes more sense than an accidental release from a lab that happens to look exactly like it spilled over at a wet market.

SARS-CoV-1 had an accidental "lab leak" and instead of infecting a market it killed the mother of the researcher who was infected with it.
It's interesting to think about the same sign and "vehicle" in different contexts could have different answers.

For example, the same sign in a school hallway leading to an enclosed play area for kindergartners would most certainly result in more violations.
And the instructions very clearly state that you should not take into account whether in this case it would be OK to violate the rule. Just whether the rule was broken or not. As such, a police car or ambulance in the park very clearly violate the rule and thus you must choose that answer.
Shoe-horned and duct-taped "security."
Yea this seems like an argument in favor of extensive (and confusing) legaleese / lawyerese
Agree. Emergency vehicles don't automatically get a "free pass", there are separate rules that apply an exemption. So the question and rule, as written, says that the emergency vehicles do violate the rule IMO. In the real world, there would just be other rules that would apply an exemption.

(IANAL, but have been driving emergency vehicles for 15 years).
No one made anything up. It's obviously the intent of the question.

You can pretend that's not the case all you want.
They have already entered Rostov on Don (a major city in the south, million+ population) and took over a whole bunch of administrative buildings in the city center. Apparently there's another column of his moving towards Moscow. Absolutely insane.
