> prioritizing long-term and abstract rewards, over short term ones; this is the reason why we have phenomenons like global warming

There's a balance. If anything I'd say people are putting too much priority on long term abstract rewards, so we see people saving too much and never enjoying themselves, or putting off having children until they can't because they're worried they can't raise that child perfectly.

> adjusting hunger to virtually unlimited availability of food

We're already solving this; people who overeat are already having fewer children, there's been a huge cultural shift towards gyms and health food, and we've seen some promising drugs released recently. We don't adapt instantly overnight, but we do adapt.

> Yeah, that's part of it. The other part is that you can move stuff that is working, and working well, into on-prem (or colo) if it is designed well and portable.

That's part of the apples-and-oranges problem I mentioned.

It's perfectly fine if a company decides to save up massive amounts of cash by running stable core services on-premises instead of paying small fortunes to a cloud provider for the equivalent service.

Except that that's not the value proposition of a cloud provider.

A team managing on premises hardware barely covers a fraction of the value or flexibility provided by a cloud service. That team of Linux sysadmins does not nor will it ever provide the level of flexibility nor cover the range of services that a single person with access to a AWS/GCP/Azure account provides. It's like claiming that buying your own screwdriver is far better than renting a whole workshop. Sure, you have a point if all you plan on doing is tightening that screw. Except you don't pay for a workshop to tighten up screws, and instead you use it to iterate over designs for your screws before you even know how much load it's expected to take.
>No, but Solar and Wind + existing hydro + existing nuclear + a moderate amount of storage + a better grid can replace fossil fuels.

There is no such thing as a 'moderate amount of storage'. The best you can get is pumped storage (if you have the correct geography for it).

Outside of that, sure, you can add solar/wind to the energy mix - does that invalidate my point? Does that actually support OP's point?

"just coding it" is a lot harder if you know nothing about code. What's cool here is that someone with literally 0 knowledge of programming can use this. Before this there was simply no way for them to do something like this, it was straight up not possible without the barrier of learning to code first. Does this do it all? Will this replace programmers? No, the skill ceiling remains as high as it ever was, but the skill floor for making something like this has been raised.

This is my experience. Get it out there, learn what you don’t yet know about the problem/product space, then improve and optimize.

The hard parts, in my experience, are being sufficiently seasoned to know what parts are hard to do later and are worth facing up front, and making sure the decision makers buy into this so you’re not blindsided by the classic “there’s no time for tech debt.”
I drink coffee every morning and have for pretty much my entire adult life. People might be better off for it because coffee in moderation is healthy and has various bioactive compounds in addition to caffeine that can reduce risk of some diseases... but I don't think the caffeine itself has any cognitive benefits for me at all compared to if I were to never drink coffee. It's just an addiction I'm completely adapted to, and skipping a morning coffee just means I'm a bit extra tired and sluggish through the day. Maybe dopaminergic stimulants are different, especially for people with true ADHD, and they can maintain an effect over time even at a dosage plateau.

Tried to ask GPT4 to make a complaint - it produced a decent one but much more longwinded and repetitive. Maybe with some different prompting it could produce the same as in the article, but one thing is clear that it's a possibility - the complaint that GPT4 produces is pretty coherent.
Maybe, but these some big utility to cashier's checks. They're essentially cash that can only be deposited by a specific party. I also don't think cash is going away anytime soon. And while it isn't common for me to issue a check, it isn't uncommon to receive a check. They're just always form businesses. Even ones that have my direct deposit information.

Fwiw, in America I use my phone to pay for everything too. But there are edge cases and tools like these often have utilities in domains that might not be common to the average person but are to specific groups. For example, these are often used in situations where cash is preferable but you wouldn't want to cary that around, like real estate down payments and buying a car. Some settings are sensitive to the exchange times (though that money looks like it is in your account instantly, it isn't).

I just wouldn't be so quick to make such a conclusion because it's pretty likely that your experience is not general. Despite America treating corporations like people, I'm pretty confident you aren't a corporation.

> Nobody would accept a check here anyway as they're not guaranteed.

Btw, a cashier's check is. Like I said, it is as good as cash.

Storage at anywhere near relevant scales is anything but moderate. To put this in perspective: The USA uses 12,000 GWh of electricity every day. The world uses 60,000 GWh. The amount of storage required depends on how much overproduction we have, and the tolerance for blackouts. But many estimates arrive at around 1 day's worth of storage. But even that is likely and underestimate [1].

This is part of why plans for a primarily renewable grid assume that hydrogen or some other heretofore untested system will fulfill the overwhelming majority of storage. Because none of the existing electrical storage mechanisms are sufficient for grid-scale storage.

It seems to me that they forked your (MIT-licensed) project and are now more successful than you at marketing it and getting contributors.

When I first started taking stimulants for ADHD and was trying to get the right dose I was confused because nothing was happening at first but finally reached a tipping point where it was working, but it was like a more intense version of my normal hyper-focus I would get at 8pm after "warming up" for 12 hours, after a couple of days it settled in between where I get the easy ability to switch attention without getting annoyed, or not realizing.
Those "why" questions are exactly what math and science do not answer (:

Not saying that philosophy or religion is particularly good at answering them either, but that's more the domain you're getting into, I think.

Brief excerpt from this Feynman interview[1]

"Say pop, I noticed something: when I pull the wagon, the ball rolls to
the back ... and when I'm pulling along and I suddenly stop, the ball
rolls to the *front* of the wagon." And I said: "why is that?"

And he said: "That, nobody knows. But the general principle is that things
that are moving tend to keep on moving, and things that are standing still
tend to stand still... This tendency is called "inertia," but nobody knows
why it is true."

When you define a set of axioms, you implicitly define all possible math inside this set. Mathematicians then "discover" useful or interesting math in this implicit pile.

In turn, introduction of a new (useful) axioms set can be called an "invention".
Not really. Goedel's incompleteness theorem says that no consistent set of axioms can prove all true statements. Moreover, once you take a few unprovable, but true, things and add them to you axioms, there will still be things that are true that you cannot prove.

This means that you're not going to find two mutually exclusive sets of axioms that, between the two of them, can prove any and all true things. This suggests to me that there's not a Library of Babel of mathematical universes, it's more or less one big universe, with a lot of black holes.
IMO if you really care about certain process being responsive, you should allocate dedicated CPU cores and a contiguous region of memory to it, that shouldn’t be touched by the rest of OS. Oh, and also give a it direct access to a separate network card. I’m not sure if Linux supports this.

> Apple definitely picks an ugly color to make you feel uncomfortable texting with a non iPhone user.

But what's Apple's motivation? Making me feel uncomfortable reading an Android user's messages does little to influence that Android user into buying an iPhone.

That said, I don't know why Apple thinks the transport protocol (iMessage vs SMS) is so important that users want to see a color indicator for every message.
> IMHO this is industrialized automated abuse of lonely people and especially those with mental health issues. It's really truly gross.

Giving lonely people the thing they most desperately need - conversation and understanding - is abuse now? I'd say it's the opposite; the social policies that leave those people so desperately lonely are abusive, the industry that sells them a band-aid is inadequate but positive.

That's absolutely not true. Science and mathematics are constantly placing forward why questions.

Placing an arbitrary barrier on the questions that can be asked is called dogma.

Example: Noether's Theorems explain why there are conservation laws. There are conservation laws because the universe observes certain symmetries.
> If a no-tip order sits too long, DoorDash will raise the base pay until a driver — known as a Dasher — finally picks it up.

This means that by offering a bigger tip up-front, you enable DoorDash to offer lower base pay for your order. It is true that 100% of the tip goes to the driver, but it's also true that from an economic perspective, DoorDash benefits from people tipping in advance, since it allows them to keep their base pay lower.

I would think a pressure check would be trivial. I would also assume a visual inspection is part of takeoff (camera or human). I assume this sort of thing is rare enough to not warrant the extra time/cost of these trivialities.
We don't know, and mathematics is not the tool for that. The consistency of nature is considered by some to be one of the few things science has to take by faith. Same thing with "brain-in-a-jar" arguments, we cannot ever prove that we are not just being completely fooled by our senses that our universe exists.

About 43 percent of the Gaza Strip population is under 18.

I understand your point but I don’t think its very fair because even if an election were held tomorrow, these children could not vote.

But in the heat of the moment I would be wary of drawing equivalence between any people and its war time government. Remember how swiftly all doubt vanished from common discourse in America after 9/11? People tend to wholehearted support their militaries during war, and wait until peacetime to determine if they made any mistakes.

Like what? What has Israel done? I'm talking about hard facts not propaganda sensationalism. Israel vacated Gaza, signed peace treaties, vacated Sinai, gave power and water to Gaza, agreed to many ceasefires (all broken by the other side), gives the people of Gaza jobs (that's how they got the intelligence for the attack, gazans working in Israel with work permits), etc.

Sure the settlements suck, hut that's not the state of Israel's doing.

Edit: just to add an interesting fact. The "disaster of 48" (as it's called in Palestine) is when the UN declared the creation of Israel (two state solution) but the Arab neighbors didn't like that so they all attacked Israel at once. As part of the war Palestinians both fled and (no official records, but probably too) got kicked out, at least the ones that supported the Arab nations (many Arabs never left). So it was just self defense by Israel. Now you may say "oh well, they got kicked out, they should get the land back" and to that I'll remind you that the Jews of Europe were slaughtered and kicked out just 3 years prior (the Holocaust). Do you hear anyone calling to give them back their property? War is an ugly thing, but Israel is definitely not the oppressor in the region.

Sure nuclear's regulations should be proportionate to its risks. But there's still a strong argument to be made that nuclear is still over-regulated relative to its risks. It has the lowest death toll per watt of electricity produced of any generation source, even including Chernobyl. Furthermore, US plants built during periods of more relaxed regulation haven't seen much in the realm of harmful mishaps. Three Mile Island is a testament to safety measures - it turns out building a big concrete condom over your reactor helps contain meltdowns.
There probably wouldn't exist any type of inteligent animal to wonder about it, since life and the evolution of life kind of requires chemestry to be a thing.

> This is the voice of someone who has never actually ended up with a big AWS estate.

I worked on a web application that provided by a FANG-like global corporation that is a household name and used by millions of users every day, and which can and did made the news rounds if it experiences issues. It is a high-availability multi-region deployment spread about a dozen independent AWS accounts and managed around the clock by multiple teams.

Please tell me more how I "never actually ended up with a big AWS estate."

I love how people like you try to shoot down arguments with appeals to authority when you are this clueless about the topic and are this oblivious regarding everyone else's experience.
This is as good of a source as any:

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/death-rates-from-energy-p...

However, be sure to dig into the methodology.

Data on death rates from solar and wind is sourced from Sovacool et al. (2016) based on a database of accidents from these sources.

We estimate deaths rates for nuclear energy based on the latest death toll figures from Chernobyl and Fukushima as described in our article here: https://ourworldindata.org/what-was-the-death-toll-from-cher...

Note that the deaths for nuclear energy include only radiation related deaths, whereas the accidents for solar and wind include "mundane" accidents like workers falling from heights. Nuclear power plants have their own non-radioactive accidents, though, like this one:

https://www.shippai.org/fkd/en/cfen/CB1011025.html

(5 workers killed at Mihama nuclear power plant due to accidental steam release)

I have not seen any comparison that tries to sum up non-radioactive accidents for nuclear power and incorporate them in the deaths-per-TWh rate for nuclear power. The number will still be lower than anything based on combustion, but at these very low numbers it could make a meaningful difference in the relative rates.
If your corporation will be deemed to operate in the state you live in, which it might, then it'll need to register there as well as its home state. The least hassle path is often to make the corporate home the same as your home, then you don't have to register in two different states, and you don't need to pay a registered agent, because you can do that, etc.

It's certainly a different question if you're likely to get funding, but it's not hard for a skilled attorney to re-incorporate your business as a Delaware corp if that's a condition of financing, just takes a bit of time to do the work, and maybe not much more time than incorporating in Delaware to begin with, and delaying hassle that you might be able to avoid is better than paying it upfront.
