Such a success story that their nuclear company, EDF, had to be nationalized and is so indebted that they can not finance new nuclear without state aid.

>(Montel) French utility EDF is unable to self-finance the construction of new nuclear reactors due to its EUR 65bn debt and so needs state funding, CEO Luc Remont told a hearing of France’s lower house on Wednesday.

Meanwhile Germany and the US is making billions by auctioning the right to build off-shore wind.

> Germany’s first dynamic bidding process, covering four offshore wind zones with a combined capacity of 7 GW, has generated EUR 12.6 billion in proceeds, according to the Federal Network Agency.

I have a hard time seeing France as a success story to emulate today. Choosing nuclear was the right choose to gain energy independence in the 70s, today the equivalent choice are renewables.
> Amazon is global.

Alas, them deciding to shut-down Book Depository means I can't purchase English/American books anymore free of customs-related taxes (I live in a Eastern European EU county), which makes me not purchasing those books at all (in many cases the taxes would end up doubling the purchase price, so it's not worth it). I'll never forgive Amazon for that.
JSON would be better, true, but PowerShell actually has objects, so dates are actually dates and not just a string containing a date. So you can actually do timezone conversions and calculations on what you get directly, rather than having to feed the date string into a parser.

But yeah, JSON would be a good start. But for some reason there seems to be little interest even in that. Wouldn't it be nice to have `df --json` or `mount --json`?

And that makes me sad, because the system could be so much better if it moved forward a bit instead of being stuck in the 80s.

Yes, and yes.

> What about indexes? If they qualify for NASDAQ or some other major index, there's some "mandatory" investment that gets triggered by a bunch of funds that do index tracking.

NASDAQ is an exchange, not an index.

The most prominent index on NASDAQ is the QQQ, the top 100 stocks,market cap weighted.

But this is the big boy playground, the smallest stocks in QQQ should have at least $400B marketcap. ARM by the most optimistic estimation should be 1/10th of that.
However the commenter likes. I think it's ridiculous to say "I guarantee this will increase inequality". But if he's that confident... and no doubt he is a "he"... let's put money where mouths are.
Genetics does experiments all the time, and many of them are geared towards understanding causality.

I'd love to get an explanation behind the last one. It can be very hard for a non player to understand how connecting power rails like this does anything positive, and why it works better closer to the active element in question.
I mean definitely that would be best, but it so happened that most of my daily life, career and entertainment is related with screens. At least in my case this condition is not getting worse so for now these glasses allow me to do all this in a pretty comfortable way.

Reminds me of that South Park episode where the kids try and cancel the useless programs on their packages - the technician then says "Tell me how it makes you feel" along with some NSW action involving his nipples.
Behind Gumroad’s New Design System (2022)
The vast majority of computer professionals I have discussed this topic with are very clear: there will never, ever be a safe way to digitise elections. Your engineers may be proud of valiant efforts, but all computer systems are hackable in principle despite the best intentions of everyone involved. This problem is manageable even for big, important stuff like banks, because there are ways of resolving things when the systems inevitably get hacked from time to time. But elections are just too big and too important (not to mention highly targetable) to introduce layers of technical complexity in which there may lurk vulnerabilities.

And, perhaps more importantly, digitisation makes the system impossible for regular folks to properly understand and trust. People can understand ink and paper ballots: you gather them in boxes and you count them. If the result is very close, you count them again (more carefully and with more eyes on it). Until everyone is agreed on who won. That clarity is very important so people can accept the result. Lots of human eyes on every step of the process. People are rightly suspicious of results from systems that include some black box of technical complexity that 99% of people can’t begin to understand.
The devil is in the details with exercise, just as it is for nutrition. There are so many ways to do exercise that ultimately increase anxiety; over the years I've had exercise regimens that made sleep difficult, or created increased inflammation (through oxidation, brief injuries or by being more careless with food/drink), or by increased muscle tightness, or lead to me not getting ahead at work because of time spent exercising. I find I have to be very clear on my exercise objective. Six Ironmen and many marathons later, I see I easily get caught up in athletic targets that are not helpful to my life goals.
The Netflix show model is highly formulaic. Same cameras and mics, 8 episode budget contract, sent to the same post houses. If you want to work with Netflix, you don't mull over choices or do auteur film, you have an expedient, generic pipeline for mixing, color, etc that produces consistent results.

It's 98% business, just a race to see how much they can make using their method before Amazon or HBO can catch up.

Now I'm peeved about what a low effort crapshoot their mixing is is. I've made a few profiles for my receiver to help with levels and clarity, and we still end up needing subtitles. Oh, this is an action scene? I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't compressed the range out of it and then flat amplified it 12db. An intimate scene follows? Good thing you again compressed the shit out of that hot ass mic mix so we're fighting to pick out words over every rustle of fabric and hair right after we had to turn down the volume. It's atrocious.
I'm not sure your argument makes any sense.... So you're saying it's not about the absolute mathematical results of the poll, but more about the feelings of the general population?
Queen Elizabeth II had so many titles they abbreviated them:

(On accession.) "Queen Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God Queen of this Realm and of Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith."

(At death.) "Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith, and Sovereign of the Most Noble Order of the Garter."

I recall CC's being emailed via a form on the website and then input using the PDQ machine at the other end (what PCI?). For extra security they started sending it in two emails! I'd imagine some forgotten far flung corners of the internet still do janky stuff like that (or what was available/reasonable at the time at least)

I think at least part of the issue is that most people view other drivers as `highly distractable, slow-reacting meatbags`, but themselves as responsible, reasonable, highly capable drivers.

Interestingly missing from these discussions is: What does the distribution of accidents look like across the population of drivers?

It's possible to introduce an automated driver that is better than an average driver, but if the only people that use it are above-average drivers then you could end up with more accidents.
You can train between major spots then use the bus to get to smaller towns and villages.
When Kaleida Labs was shutting down in the mid 90's, somebody put a bunch of big labeled recycling bins out in the hall, for soon-to-be-ex-employees to throw different types of office junk into to be recycled.

But there were just so many AOL and Compuserve signup floppies and cds that I labeled two separate recycling bins AOL and Compuserve, one for each brand!

> my co-founder wants to pocket these speaking engagements and not run them through our business.

I can't imagine this would generate a lot of income for the CEO. I've no idea but I guess speaking engagements are in the low thousands or often you do it for free just to get some exposure for the company.

I would let this play out and see what happens.
I urge you to take serious look on all methods we have for scrutiny and validation before such comments.

People invalidating valid paper votes on 80s were a thing, impossible to prove, unlike the auditing we have today.

It's not online also, it's offline with uploaded encrypted data through encrypted channels.
Canada has many similarities. The inherited wealth is essentially banks and oligarchs. You pretty much have to be risk free to get any funding. Lots of window dressing and marketing to make Canada look good. If it were not for US companies (Cisco, Google, etc) the Canadian tech salary would be closer to Europe. Once you start living here you realize the truth about how much they value tech, protectionism, the incompetence of the telecom sector, stodgy banking and finance, poor education, unaffordable housing, and declining access to health (Ontario and stories from the Maritimes since health is provincial - cannot speak of Alberta/BC/etc).

All subpar but the marketing and virtue signaling is great. A lot of 'make Canada look good' comes at the expense of Canadians.
A lot more mistakes made by Thatcher than that.

We're now in the absurd situation where 4 out of 6 power generating companies are foreign owned and the Japanese own our chip manufacturer.

All because of her policies that originally envisioned that the share holding would be by the British public, not foreigners.

And the latest scandal is that our water companies are dumping ridiculous amounts of sewage into our waterways while giving out huge dividends. And there's nothing anyone seems to be able to do about it.
> Capital however is predominately held via inherited wealth

Curious to see you prove that beyond an imagined stereotype. It's not as though we are in the first generation of US entrepreneurship and there is not a huge quantity of US inherited wealth in those VC funds. The founders of Intel, Apple, Walmart, Standard Oil etc. have all passed on. And on the other side, it's not like there haven't been a dozen generations since Norman lords chopping up all the land wealth. I think only one British billionaire is an aristo, the rest are business folk.

People underestimate the effect of how wealth attracts wealth in terms of commercial hubs - money chases opportunity and opportunities chase money and they end up in the same place for all sorts of reasons. It's just a system effect rather than a consequence of higher virtues that some love grant themselves.

Huh, I didn't know. But it seems like the repo lags behind what's on the appstore by two minor versions.

Honestly, no idea.
These "it's the fault of GDPR" posts feel like the comic book caricatures where angry citizens rant that Batman is the cause for all the crimes in Gotham City.
It replaces equivalent 8% of CO2 from fossil fuels that would be burned otherwise.
The voting is not done online. When voting stops, the machines are taken to an office and the votes are copied to the tallying system.
Ah, okay. I meant to use 'comforting' as a descriptor of the narrative they wrote.
It was a bug that prevented building it. If they just look at the source code without building it, they’ll have no idea if it’s the same code at all, and it would be useless.
What happens if they turn 25 and have grown to expect the nice features? They have more money, less time, and can be a beacon for their peers of "James used to get it for free, now even he pays"

I'd consider it similar to Adobe's old model (easy to crack, but converts to paying customers in a few years)
Nah, don't worry, they (Deutsche Bahn) hit the hour mark quite often without any problems.

Funny story on the side: German ICEs are only allowed up to Basel, so they will not cause any delays in the Swiss train network. The Swiss fear that we would destroy their fine-tuned system otherwise. :-D
"works so well" is debatable. Is iPad "mobile" (honestly, I'm not sure). What if I'm on desktop and I make my screen just a bit smaller? Can I now not use the website because it doesn't bother adapting to the changing width.

If this is how you want to build websites, discarding users, go ahead. But it's irresponsible to recommend this as advice to others.
That's what POROs are there for. I truly don't want a faux type system only to then keep using hashes for everything...
And if you sneeze at propane it becomes liquid (-42C). Not sure how natural gas is stored though.

Heating use is indeed very obvious, and so is transportation use. Many countries have an elaborate distribution network for LPG and fitting a car to run on LPG is also very easy.

BTW, hot air balloons also run on propane.
no it doesn't CNAME is just an alias nothing more and even if it would make it first party it still wouldn't make it legal, like at all

you are allowed to track some information first party for certain purposes without user agreement (e.g. fingerprinting for DDOS protection) but you are ONLY allowed to use it for that purpose and have to use _as little data as possible, store it as short as possible_ etc. You also still have to inform the user about it, give them a way to delete it (through because you also have to keep that data as little and as short as possible you often delete it faster then the time you have to process such deletion requests so that tends to be a non issue)

this section of GDPR pretty much never applies to anything ad related ever, because even if you collected some fingerprints for DDOS protection you MUST NOT use them for ads, not are you allowed to pass them to anyone else especially not if that entity does use them for something else.

pretty much nothing in the law text of GDPR ever implied you might get away with aliasing tracker domains, actually very clearly the opposite

generally GDPR is not technology specific, so pretty much any case of "this technical trick to work around GDPR limitations" is pretty much not legal as long as the trick is not to not collect data
There are also some articles claiming that he got money from a Bolsonaro ally, dunno how legit though:

"The Federal Police told the Federal Supreme Court (STF) that the hacker Walter Delgatti Neto, known for having given rise to the "Vaza Jato" operation, received at least R$ 13,500 from advisors to federal deputy Carla Zambelli (PL-SP)."

> In Ireland, observers from multiple parties observe the votes as they are counted and publish their own numbers realtime (see tallymen).

Same used to be the case in Brazil. In fact, the people counting the votes were members of the public, chosen prior to the elections.

I know quite a few who have been in vote countings. The stories they tell are not very reassuring.

Electronic voting was and is a major source of democratic stability in Brazil.

Edit: to those downvoting (fair game, it's your vote to cast!), care to explain your reasons?
It's possible, yes. But it's not really usable. I tried Linux on the STM32F469 discovery board and the only takeaway was "Cool, it works". Feels more like a proof of concept than anything you'd want to use in a product. It's slow and everything takes forever, barely any of the interfaces work and basically all of your resources are gone just to run Linux itself.
That is a great video. If Google is the new Multics and the cloud is the new mainframe, does that mean that AI is the new Unix? AI is the command line?
The data gathered so far shows that they have a pattern of criminality similar to other men, particularly regarding sex crimes:

https://fairplayforwomen.com/transgender-male-criminality-se...

More research is needed, but I think it's not an unexpected conclusion. I mean, the only difference between these men and other men is that they're calling themselves women. Most of them keep their genitals intact, and most are driven to identify as women due to a paraphilia.
That’s definitely changed. I had little issues with this in 2015 using a letter of proof of employment.
According to the filing they have extremely limited ability to influence them and yeah it is a big issue.
Cement is absorbing some of that CO2 back when it's curing. Some of CO2 is emitted by processing (crushing and heating), that part could be eliminated by renewable fuels, some is inherent in making cement (releasing CO2 from limestone) but most of that part is absorbed back during curing. There are also carbon-negative alternatives in works[0]. That propane from cement could be used for synthesis of other materials instead of oil (not used yet because it's not needed only because we have cheaper oil) instead of being burned.

They do not think it's only that one trademark that's the issue.
Wow, lots of comments discrediting digital election.

Brazilian authorities run open testing from time to time and fixes (tangencial so far) vulnerabilities. So far, there were zero proof that any hacking or flaw in our voting system. This only became an “issue” because discredit the election became part of Bolsonaro’s coup attempt. (Which is, btw, the authoritarian wannabe playbook.)

Anyway, you should witness the mess it was before, when votes were in paper and counting by hand. Frauds was widespread. I mean, look and the US election system… it’s a kind of meme in Brazil due to how rudimentary and prone to fraud.

I'm confused, did you mean to say that Moscow is in the very West of Russia?

Oh gosh. I remember my parents hiding my keyboard and mouse after my Dad received a £500 phone bill one month. This was in 1999. We were on pay per minute dial-up in the UK and I was obsessed with playing a game called Team Fortress Classic, a mod for Half-Life. Even with ping times of 200ms it was still really playable! We only had one phone line and the downside of this for my parents was that no-one could call the house phone - engaged tone. Remember, this is before widespread mobile phones. The downside for me was that any time someone picked up a phone in the house - like my sister to call her stupid boyfriend - all they heard was modem noise and it sometimes ended up in the modem hanging up the connection mid game... Infuriating!

Luckily I had a spare keyboard and mouse in my cupboard, which I promptly set up to the bemusement of my parents. They were very patient...
Australia does paper voting, and excels at it.

It can be done, safely and efficiently.
I've added screen time restrictions to the ipad my kids use (5 and 7, but mostly the 7 year old - the younger one seems to not care much for TV of his own volition). I set it to 10 minutes per day per year of age (so 1h10m per day, as only the 7 year old seems prone to overuse). This is a maximum, but he reaches it most days and then after some grumbling accepts it and does something else.

One advantage: when the iPad "decides" it's time out instead of me or my wife, he is somehow a lot more ready to accept it! With both our kids we only started allowing them to watch TV/use screens at around 2 years of age using roughly the above formula.
I see no twitter verified icon near that comment
>If he was wrong then there was no possible way to succeed, but if he succeeded there's no way he could have been wrong. Modus tollens

None of those are mutually exclusive options (or the only options).

He could be wrong about him preferred means being instrumental to creating a utopia (e.g. utopia could also be achieved with different means), but still manage to create a utopia using those means (e.g. he manages to steal land and resources and create a strong big country with a stable regime that lasts 1000 years, whose citizens eventually becomes very prosperous and happy, even if tens of millions were murdered).

In any case, achieving one's own goal and that goal being worthy and the means to achieve it being justified are different matters.

The first is about being effective. The latter needs a framework of justification, and that is usually morality/ethics. And that would be subjective (the victims, their friends and families, sympathizers to their cause, etc. would have another opinion).
I agree with what you've said here and in other comments. Terminals are useful, to a degree, but there's so much fruit to be had. And I don't see why we need to be stuck in terminals (I guess terminal emulators is more accurate) as the primary mode of interaction.

Warp is interesting enough, but it's a shame it isn't cross-platform to begin with, and I'm dubious about the business model of a terminal product. I think the best hope is that they're purchased by Microsoft, and it gets integrated into VS Code. It also continues to lean into the terminal idea, although it does approach it from scratch, which is nice.

I think the idea of notebook type interfaces is perhaps underrated for scripting purposes. Microsoft's Polyglot Notebooks and .dib format addresses this.
AHN2 was measured between 2007 and 2012. AHN3 from 2014 to 2019 and I believe AHN4 is actually complete now (measured from 2021 to 2022?).

Better resolution, more up to date -- but I don't know of such a nice point cloud viewer for it.
> If we're talking about hypotheticals then, perhaps

How can you say such a thing? Do you not recoil in horror when innocent people are murdered?

A system founded on genocide and tyranny will necessarily continue to use those means to ensure its survival in the face of any threat to its survival.

Hitler was necessarily, categorically unable to establish any utopia because of the nature of the authority he claimed and used en route.

The question isn't whether the ends could have justified the means. The reality is that the means used utterly shut out any good ends from even being possible as long as he remained in power.
ARM changed the licensing and now wants % of price of every end device sold.
Not exactly in the software, but we recently changed our OKR announcement/review process to communicate (primarily) via memes.

It used to be two quarterly three hour meetings where everyone used to space out anyway.

Now two 1 hour meetings that people actually enjoy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
