That Kenyan workers don't have more favorable counterfactuals for employment doesn't place companies' behavior beyond critique, because the (collective) behavior of companies that employ workers in Kenya is partially determinative of what the counterfactuals themselves are.

If you fall off a bridge into a river and are drowning, and I'm the only person around, it's still exploitation if I try to make you promise to pay me $10k before I'll throw you the life buoy. It doesn't matter that, counterfactually, the alternative is death. It doesn't matter that you'd be far worse off if I wasn't around to offer you my help (at the maximum price I can extract).

Likewise, the fact that many Kenyans have no strong employment prospects doesn't mean that companies moving their labor to Kenya aren't wrongfully exploiting the situation. And that's leaving aside the fact that centuries of exploitation have created the economic conditions in Kenya. Benefiting from that is something akin to making money off the guy in the river, and it turns out your dad is the one who pushed him in to begin with.
using the hardware you own should never be considered "piracy"
In that sense the situation is not that different from feudal Britain… the king technically owns all the land. He gives title/control of it to the nobility and they in turn, to others.

If the king were to ever make alternate use of the land in such a way that would upset enough people, a war or other means of resolution would break out.

I don't know what you're talking about. That's a beautiful, clean, and clearly-organized site.
Trying your examples, especially considering that the elliptical orbit of the earth likewise causes the Sun's angular diameter change depending on where our orbit is, I found that Units current has a buggy definition of moondist_min and moondist_max. It's defined in the definitions file as 356.371 km and 406.720 km respectively. These should be Mm! (Or remove the period, either will work)

Just to work around the bug, you can use a local definitions file to correct it:

cat > ~/.units <<EOF
moondist_min 356.371 Mm
moondist_max 406.720 Mm

The Xbox 360 was broken by voltage glitching, and Microsoft successfully prevented it from happening again with the Xbox One: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7VwtOrwceo

In short, there's now a hardware watchdog which reboots the system if anything weird happens to the clocks/temps/voltages, and they carefully structured their boot ROM (the only code they can't patch later) to ensure that even if you somehow manage to sneak one glitch past the watchdog, no single branch condition being inverted will lead to a compromised state.
Your example is just survivorship bias.

99% of people starring in movies don't have nowhere near the fame and bargaining power to demand royalties from past work the way stars like Carrie Fisher does.

Yes, some unknown actors got super lucky and struck big the first time, which gave him/her leverage to negociate deals to live off the royalties off one single great movie/franchise for the rest of their lives because they became invaluable to the franchise, but the vast majority don't, and need to bounce around begging for parts in mediocre movies to make a living.

It's why unions and regulations are important otherwise unscrupulous movie studios will just screw everyone entering the industry into signing off the rights to their visual likeness for pennies just so they can monetize them down the line.

For every Tom Cruise there are thousands of talented people whose careers didn't go anywhere.

Rate of recharge is the limiting factor of the total amount of energy you can release from a dam without reducing the total amount of water in the reservoir over time. Hoover dam may be able to produce 2GW of power, but if it averages more than 500 MW it will drop in water level over time (actually less than that, since it's already reaching record low fill levels). True, rainfall is not constant throughout the year. But it doesn't really matter in the big picture: the total amount of energy you can produce with the dam without lowering fill levels is fixed, and it isn't changed by overproduction.

Overproduction doesn't help you here: if you have 3 GW of solar energy and 2 GW of electricity demand, you can't use the remaining 1 GW to refill Hoover Dam. If you produce enough solar to meet demand, you can shut off hoover dam's turbines. But if you overproduce - if you produce more energy than the grid needs - it's wasted, you can't use excess energy to refill the dam beyond just shutting off the turbines.

> That’s an outdated estimate for last year even just EV’s broke 500 GWh. "Automotive lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery demand increased by about 65% to 550 GWh in 2022"

Demand, not production. Just under 500 GWh of batteries was produced, a good chunk of demand went unfulfilled. If anything, all your source shows is that grid storage is even more infeasible because we can't even satisfy EV's storage needs.

> As I mentioned that’s a monumental overestimate

No, if anything it's an optimistic underestimate. 12 hours is just enough for diurnal storage. But you also need storage to offset seasonal fluctuations.
FSD is a little trickier. FSD hardware is installed in your car and is used for ADAS. FSD is completely different firmware and has to be downloaded from Tesla servers which will check to see if you paid for that service.

It might be possible to subscribe to FSD, wait for it to download, then unsubscribe, and hack it to re-enable the firmware. But FSD is still beta and you'd be risking being exposed to get future updates.
Kind of agree. So far as 1password user I can't see much reasons to use it. Or where does it stand with the built-in password managers.

Guess the education and availability of the password managers can't hurt in long run.

Agreed on the small market, what would move the needle is if it re-charged much more quickly than current batteries.

EV owners really only want 500+ miles because charging the battery takes so long. Charging infrastructure is already changing and becoming more available so charging speed will be the real quest

The supply and install problem clearly isn't that hard, auto makers have been doing it for many decades at this point.

Plus, it seems backwards from a business standpoint. You always have the cost of installing the hardware, but now you only get a % of users who agree to pay for the additional cost? The only way to "fix" that is to artificially raise the price of the product so effectively everyone is paying, which means now you're double-dipping from the people who do want it.

It's just crap. If I buy a physical device (not renting) then I own it and should be able to use its full capabilities. The only thing that should cost more is anything that has ongoing cost to the manufacturer if I use it.
Having done both Rails and Elixir, Elixir is vastly easier to scale. Not just because it can use up all the available cores, but also because a REPL in a production environment makes troubleshooting and identifying bottlenecks easier. When I scaled Rails, it was a struggle, and the epiphany I had when I had to modify how Sidekick worked was that Elixir and Erlang had built-in primitives to do what is major refactor of Sidekick to get Sidekick to do what I want.

One of the things I had success with in a non-web applications is writing Kubernetes Operators in Elixir. Though I also want to experiment with the embedded Prolog-in-Elixir for those.

I wouldn't be surprised if people had resale value in the back of their mind. Tacomas are another popular truck but the top trims with the largest engines certainly command a premium and hold their used value better than the perhaps more economical 2wd 4 cylinder tacomas.

Very nice! I just switched to Brave Search from DDG on Brave and I kind of like it.

No, it's absolutely not. That's an insane definition that treats every platform or distributor's cut as a tax. Visa is taking a fee for the use of their service, which you are not compelled to use.
100% land value tax, distributed evenly to each citizen as a citizen dividend.

Therefore everyone can have an equal amount of land (by value -- land in the middle of a major city is clearly more valuable than land in the middle of nowhere), and the only thing they then need to do is build appropriate shelter.

Not quite because it does happen or there would be no stars. Think of all the actors who played bit parts in TV shows from years ago. For instance, Pedro Pascal was on Buffy. He's a household name now, but then he was nobody waaaay before he was on GoT. The vast majority of famous actors earned their stripes via bit parts. It would behoove a studio to be making these scans just in case they happened to work with the next Brad Pitt at some point.
I'm interested. Are your models open sourced like the IBM model, and are they easily accessible on HuggingFace?
What they meant is that it is not possible to fix it without replacing the hardware.

In my yard sale I might sell an ultra rare stamp for $1.

Doesn't mean it's its value. It's not even anywhere close to being an indicator for it.

Might not even be due to ignorance, like in the example ("information assymetry" as the popular kids call it).

I might sell a Ferrari for $10 dollars out of spite (it belonged to my ex and I hated them). Stranger things have happened.

8051 is quite popular in new designs as a low-cost embedded controller. You don't see it as often as a discrete component [1]; it's more frequently embedded in more complex devices, like as controllers for USB peripherals or even for startup sequencing in larger parts.

[1]: Although that is a thing too; there's a number of manufacturers like Silicon Labs with extensive lines of modern 8051-based mcirocontrollers.
Correct.

The number of comments which latch onto "code generator" without understanding it are disappointing.

> The manufacturing cost between a car with heated seats and without headset seats is functioningaflly meaningful

I don't believe that is the case. BMW determined it was more expensive to have the supply chain, inventory, and manufacturing management to build both heated and non-heated versions of their seats. Rather than just make heated seats a standard feature they saw an opportunity to maintain and even expand their highest margin revenue stream: options.
I think you'll find that for many people, EVs are a non-starter unless they can mimic the same travel timelines you can get from a combustion engine. 500 miles is very close to what they'd be looking for.

I think that depends on how it's implemented and how their account recovery process is done. If they give SMS special status and use it with few or no other data to recover accounts when you're locked out, then adding SMS 2FA might actually significantly decrease your security for that account by allowing someone to gain access with just the SMS capability.

That's hopefully very rare, but of the companies that would do so, I imagine the ones that only support SMS 2FA are likely to have a higher occurrence.

I think the concept of "licensing" should not apply to something you own. If they want to rent you a CPU, fine, but then they should also bear the costs for when it breaks.
And even if you need to break things out, you can build different variants of distributions that can all still work together.
That's good to hear, actually. I'm sure it can be done well. I've worked on much smaller Python codebases that were unmaintainable, and the lack of punctuation was one of the problems. A very common source of bugs was things being at the wrong indentation level. You'd have:

def outermost():

def middle():

def innermost():

...

(six hundred lines of code)

...

return something_from_innermost

def another_func():

Uh oh. Is "another_func" at the right indentation level? It's very hard to tell what scope it's at. Yes, this is awful code style, and it still would be difficult even with visible punctuation, but at least you could count the '}'s to see what the programmer actually intended. Here, it's very difficult to know how many scopes just closed. They all opened five screen-heights ago! I am aware that it's easy to write hard-to-follow code in any language, but visible punctuation always helps.
No. I don't need the rear heated seats.

Your entire premise is based on a pair of servers - we're talking about fortune 500s. I'll ignore for a second the fact that $20k/month in server spend for a pair of servers to be database+web is grossly overpriced, even at LIST, which no fortune 500 ever comes close to paying.

All of the "and you don't get all these other services" is just a red herring because, again, we're talking about a fortune 500 that isn't building their services on a pair of servers. They buy racks at a time, at minimum, and unless they're grossly oversizing what they're buying, will have better performance per-dollar all-in, including the people cost and the surrounding infrastructure cost, to say nothing of the egress bandwidth because you know, their customers aren't just other AWS servers...

This affects everyone. It represents your boss making demands of your likeness for ownership. Some of us already had to politely decline to sign away our likeness and alterations to it for no compensation in return. It's clear what they want to do. They want to just take the likeness of the most beautiful and the most productive. They know every keystroke on company hardware and your general performance patterns, and they want to steal your patterns and thought processes especially if you go full bore and give them 100% all the time as a rockstar. They want you without paying you.
The only way against this is Federal legislation making it illegal. The Federal Government should also create steep fines levied against any company that already tried to push this envelope. Awful bosses will never learn otherwise. You cannot pretend to say things about inclusion, equity, diversity, only to then make a move like this. This move signifies attempted ownership of a person's entire being, and some groups have no gall at all and make it clear that they don't even intend to give you any money for it. It is out-in-the-open broad daylight theft while they laugh at the majority of the people who have no power to say or do anything since in these economic times they can just coerce you into doing it because of necessity.

They want your productivity, appearance, style, and abilities and they want to give you nothing. Don't be fooled into a sense of pride because you're an engineer or a designer or a director or an executive or even a CEO - don't be someone who thinks that an extra in Hollywood is far below you and that this doesn't affect you. The technology is the same and will be applied to everyone's likeness unless you say no and unless the Federal Government gets involved to issue laws with serious teeth against this brazen theft.
Then that makes it an inappropriate word for both uses.

I'm a little surprised to hear other people having such good results.

Brave search was my default for quite a while, until a few weeks after they got rid of bing results. As soon as that happened, stuff just wasn't showing up that I'd expect to be there, and 90% of the time I'd follow up searches with !g or !ddg just to get something decent to show up. The index just felt severely lacking, or the relevancy was pretty far off base.

Would you say search has greatly improved over the past month or two?

Exactly. Gasoline is much, much more energy dense than Li-Ion batteries, but in terms of dollars per mile, an electric car is 2x-4x cheaper to drive than an ICE car. That's because an internal combustion engine wastes the majority of gasoline's energy as heat, while electric motors use most of the battery's energy to move the car.
I don't think Edge is looking for hegemony in the web at this point. Chromium-based Edge is marketed like Brave but with more "Corporate" friendliness. Edge is Microsoft barely holding to a legitimate toehold in web standards processes, with a skeleton crew as small as possible of developers. This Edge looks like the late stages of IE6: Microsoft has to ship a browser with Windows, because browsers are an important part of every OS, doesn't want to cede control to someone else's brand so needed to rebrand a "white label product" (and Chromium is now the largest "white label" for better and a lot worse), but overall got tired of paying for development staff on a money losing "product" and wants to focus on products that actually bring in revenue. (Which is also why Edge is the noisy home of coupon products and all of Microsoft consumer AI ambitions and so forth. You can see that's stuff making the company money, so that's why they are putting the most work into that kind of stuff.)
