> We have a solution: nuclear power base load + wind/solar secondary.

Which is not enough. We need nuclear + wind/solar + degrowth. Because those energies don't remotely replace fossil fuels.

Still, that is a solution (at least that's the less bad I see). We just need to accept it.
Thank you for your kind comment and for your patience. I think my comments above were awkward and didn't quite get my point across, and that's obviously not your fault but mine. Hopefully we'll have the time to discuss this issue again in the future. I'm sorry that we started off on the wrong foot.

If they had a highly curated/organized website with tons of components ready to ship in small quantity and fulfilled by Amazon, I think they would succeed.

Their differentiation would be a focus on small, hobbyist quantities, high speed Amazon shipping, and a very well organized website where you can quickly find the component you need without hours of searching.

For extra credit they could add in a special order section: write in what you are looking for and they give you a price including shipping.

Most of the big sites Digikey, Mouser, etc are focused on large quantities. They would be competing with Adafruit, but I think there's room for more than one company here.

Alan Yeung is full of crap, completely untrustworthy.

I realize that this comes off as a very American way of thinking, and apologize if you are not, but things are starting to move towards employee rights in regards to striking down non-compete agreements or anything where your livelihood would be affected by signing an agreement. Of course the biggest changes are starting in more "progressive" states, such as New York and California, but the movement is spreading. You might see trouble if you are so specialized that whatever you work on, it would touch your day to day tasks, but moving towards another path of development could provide you with more creative output in a manner that your business couldn't touch. Your business may decide to fire you, but you should be free from legal obligations if you aren't directly releasing the same type of code that you write for the business.
I tend to think of subjective interpretation as "That was good" or "This is bad".

But there's something required beforehand: definining what this or that is. It's not really a subjective process, but it certainly isn't objective either.

Before you can decide whether or not William the Conqueror's invasion of the British Isles was a good or a bad thing, you first need a description of how the invasion was carried out and "all" the consequences. But there is no "objective" or "clear cut" version of this. What do you include? What do you exclude?
I think you might be misunderstanding. Evers didn't get elected by selling the scam Foxconn plant. He got elected after it was clear that Scott Walker, his opponent, made promises about the plant that he could not keep.

This really doesn’t sound like it’s going to end well.
> We do that in software too. It’s called an agile retrospective.

A retrospective is not an incident postmortem, very different things.

A retrospective tries to look at how the agile process went wrong again this past sprint, but is not focused specifically about one production incident.

Companies should be doing incident postmortems on any incident of significance to identify action items to improve what went wrong on that specific case.
24 billion is equivalent to jeff bezo's buying you a Happy Meal at McDonalds, followed by hope you enjoy the shared wealth.

I live in the country and frequent the Dollar General for those little daily things. Jug of milk, a freezer pizza, some cat litter, a pack of beer and some hot dog buns.

I don’t but these all at once in a single trip, I go there 3 or 4 times a week as I find I need them and forgot to purchase them at the grocery store a good trip away. That’s what a DG operates on, those daily needs close by. Closer than a Wal-Mart or an Ingles would ever get.

Maybe the next best analogy for what a Radio Shack could be is like an Ace Hardware. The small town Aces are often better than anything I’ve seen in the city competing with a Lowe’s and Home Depot. However, I have a hard time seeing the volume to work. If I’m on a project getting that extra tube of caulk and backer rod or can of primer paint an Ace is great and closer than the Big Town Box Store 25 minutes away so they win my routine business and the routine business of folks nearby be they DIY or professional.

I just have a hard time seeing enough consumer electronics use that it would matter. The most routine thing would be a cell-phone and for most that really means driving to the ATT store to see what my upgrade elegibity looks like this season.

Us FD (and some police) have what we call “knox box keys” - knox is a brand. They’re locked in the apparatus, and with a pin code or radio signal I can get them unlocked and then from there unlock a little box on a building. That contains the buildings master keys.
Anyway - if apparatus contained corporate keys (fobs, fido, physical, whatever) that allow a FD member to drive the car - I can 100% see that being part of a scene SOP/G. Tell the probie “get the key, move that AV out of the way.”

Someone asked a simple question.

You replied with a comment that ended like so "into a fucking Docker container?"

As a third party here (and not the person you asked), it's fairly easy to assume that someone who pretends to be "Looking forward to feedback" and then responds with "fucking" and being rude is really just trolling here and not interested in reasonable and adult conversations.

At the very least, you know you were wrong, because you've been editing your comments to make it seem less aggressive.

My honest suggestion: apologize, and get offline. There is no reason to be acting like this.

Trump was taking credit for something someone else did, as per usual. It's really that simple.

The plans were always idiotic. The fact that Trump was too ignorant and/or poorly-advised not to take credit for them is just the icing on the kakistocracy.

I think it’s slightly more likely this will happen. From the Taiwanese perspective, this could be seen as partly collateral for some of the big defense sales that happened recently. The US is very motivated to bring some chip manufacturing back within its borders.
Not really, tsm is delaying to find enough workers for their plant. They are still building it in AZ. Foxconn is changing a $40b investment into a $672m investment and selling the properties they had. Related but not the same thing at all. Not surprising TSM can't find workers with the low unemployment rates in the US.

Computers have made a lot of information that was theoretically accessible into pragmatically accessible. There was a kind of semi privacy that is changing. Some have adjusted by insisting that it was genuine privacy all along. Others don't care that semi private is now public, largely because they still feel pragmatically anonymous and unthreatened by what isn't.

Neither is entirely wrong, but the ones with the strongest feelings either way don't do a great job of taking the others into account.

Reply all did an episode about the Foxconn stuff at a specific town. Looked it up and it’s called “Negative Mount Pleasant”. It’s been a long time since I’ve listened but I remember being very skeptical of the whole thing as well. I just have no idea why Foxconn would ever have an economic reason to pay for American labor when presumably they have a pretty large pool of much cheaper and closer labor available.

Copper Be Gone: The Chemistry Behind PCB Etching
This is antidotal, but I’m not at all surprised with a relation between income and drinking and potentially even years in college and drinking. My father was a “functional alcoholic” who was in the college scene for a long time since he played football and later obtained a doctorate degree. I believe that his long exposure to the college party scene negatively impacted his behaviors.

My dad was great, despite drinking heavily on nights and weekends. He was successful and wasn’t a bad parent. However, his lifestyle finally caught up with him. He passed away in 2021 from complications from pancreatic cancer at the age of 69. My one regret is that I always felt uncomfortable bringing up his drinking as a topic with him. I wish I would have, but I’m not certain it would have changed anything.

DMT is not so docile. It's fucked up at least two people I know. Not ayahuasca, just DMT. One of them lived 40 years of life, complete with happy marriage, before it was violently ripped away from them 15 minutes later in meat-time.

The big problem with degrowth advocates don't say what the new world looks like in detail. They say we should go rid of problems, and we should, but those are the low-hanging fruit. They will help but won't be enough.

How do you propose to use much less energy without starving everyone? Where does the energy come from if not fossil fuels without conscripting people to be peasants? Does it matter if mass death is caused famine or "degrowth"?

I am in 100% agreement and the same thinking as you are. I never take the shortcut route unless it is absolutely warranted, such as a solution I know is meant to last only a few months. I have been very loud, and have effected quite a bit of change over my years, if only in a way that allows my boss to believe that I will no longer be a part of his operation if he restricts my freedom and personal ethics. I am highly underpaid, but I make sure to take that out in personal freedoms where it is worth it to me. I no longer answer phone calls or texts after hours unless they are going to directly damage the business, and my ability to continue having a place of employment. I take regular vacations, and mental health days, sometimes just to spend time with my son (went through a divorce where I still can't tell how badly it affected my son, although luckily went through a moderator rather than the attorneys/courts to settle things).

It is important to know what you can and can't get away with, and my clients don't pay the cost of the business I'm employed by making bad decisions. Where I am able to, I strive to provide a product that is better than the average, in the hopes that I've developed a solution that can possibly benefit the company or myself in the future in regards to software quality or speed (along with stability) of deployment.

Y'all could just look at Europe. The US wastes approximately 40% (!!!) of their entire production [1], Europe only around 20% [2]. The average American drives 21.000 km/a, Europeans ~15.000.

If you need it spelled out what you need to do: limit portion sizes in restaurants (where a lot of the food waste happens, also contributing to the insane rat infestation issues [3]) by law since Americans seem to love extensive portions, educate people how to cook and how to plan cooking, ban ultra large food packaging that no reasonable family can use before the product goes bad, and introduce actual public transit on all levels from local over regional to interstate to reduce your dependency on fossil fuels.

As for food waste in developing countries, it would be a good starter idea to invest into electrical grids and microgrids, it's hard to keep food from perishing when you don't have a stable grid to run a fridge. But that's a monumental task that needs international cooperation.

> A NATO country (US) gave money and weapons to a country that NATO agreed to not allow into NATO. To the country on the otherwise of that agreement (Russia) that sure looks like the start of expansion.

Your source appears to indicate this started after Russia invaded in 2014. So unless Russians can see into the future I don’t see how that can be the cause.

> The US signed a treaty saying it wouldn't add Ukraine to NATO. Then supports UKraine with the stated goal of "interoperability" with NATO. The US did all but sign a treaty making it official.

I’ve never seen such a treaty can you link it?.

> After Russia invaded in 2022 the US told Ukraine to not negotiate peace. Every step of the way the choice has been made towards conflict instead of a diplomatic solution. I don't know how you can look at the course of events and come to any other conclusion other than the US wants a proxy war with Russia. No choice by the US has been towards peace.

I don’t think this is what happened, what I think happened is that when Ukraine recaptured territories (Bucha being the best example) and saw the absolute horrors that the Russians had left behind, they decided there would be no negotiating.

I can understand that, I wouldn’t want to negotiate with someone who had committed such heinous crimes against my people either.

> * I wanted to add that I am referring to software developers. Creative types like the author of this article are always shit upon by corporate types unfortunately

Ish. It's complicated.

IME, most folks have a low standard for "good" and don't differentiate well above a certain minimum. Someone with an MFA and 150k in debt may expect to get paid more than someone with no degree and no school debt, but that doesn't mean the buyer will rate the MFA higher -- which means they won't pay them more money.

The MFA may also expect to spend X hours on a project without _explaining that_ to the buyer.

That's not corporate types being stingy or such, it's a mismatch of expectations. At the end of the day, buyers value the work much lower than the sellers, so the sellers are going to be disappointed far more often.
