yes i remember this so vividly, I was obsessed with the dark/orange windows theme on vista. The early psps themes had a similar feel as well.
Why? Carbon capture seems to fit renewables much better.

Carbon capture economically speaking doesn't make anything desirable. We're essentially throwing money at making a problem go away, it's pure spending. So the cheaper, the better, and the sooner the better. Everything else is irrelevant.

So solar and wind are probably are a better bet, and intermittency/storage doesn't really matter.
Is water the only wet thing? Because when I'm drying my liquid solvents I'm only removing the water. Is 100% ethanol still "wet?"
If that's the case, probably just going for Spot machines would save them more than that move.
Are you failing to respond to the point about the web environment integrity digital rights management proposals because you don't understand it, or because you somehow just don't think it is relevant? Like, in a world where Google gets that deployed and websites start to rely on it, what, exactly, do you think your ad block extension is even going to do?
Failure 1. Logic board failure, randomly one day the MacBook would not turn on.

Failure 2. The LCD cracked from the light pressure of my finger when I was adjusting the angle of the screen. The outer glass sheet was undamaged, only the physical LCD below the glass shattered.
That's kind of depressing honestly.

Also surprising as I always thought Android was more popular because there is more variety and cheaper options.
Given the high rate of immigration to the USA, is this necessary? What percentage of the current foreign language translators learned their language in college? Sure, few Americans are learning Russian but tons of Ukrainians, Latvians, Poles, and indeed Russians have moved to the USA and they speak it natively! So would many of their kids.

North America has tremendous access to native speakers of pretty much any major language from immigration.
Amusingly, that specific short story (short may be misleading) is what stopped my completion of that book of short stories because I just couldn't get through it.
> But this doesn't mean we should just give up on ux

It's a little unfair to describe locking as "[giving] up on UX", especially given some well known collaboration products use it quite successfully; Google Sheets cell locking, Miro element/Text locking, etc.

Ofc, it's going to depend on the scope of what's being locked. These two examples are quite finely scoped element locks.
God forbid that ugly people get to have the same kinds of positive relationship experiences that attractive people get. I can’t believe how the moment that a technology comes out which gives incels real options it’s seen as being terrible for society.

It’s awesome for society.
Implementing a constexpr strlen() is trivial and I looks just like it's from your ancient C textbook, save for the "constexpr" keyword. No goofyness involved.

Or you use what the C++ standard library has to offer.

std::string_view(ptr).length();
or
std::string(ptr).length();
or
std::char_traits<char>::length(ptr);
all work at compile time.
Bing is a bit better when it's accessed through DuckDuckGo instead.
Does it matter. 70% of something is better than 100% of nothing.
That's my understanding as well. My original reply was in response to your suggestion that iMessage differentiate RCS encrypted vs RCS unencrypted using colors, and it appears that wouldn't even be possible because Google is applying proprietary encryption on top of RCS using their app.

I find this absolutely hilarious and almost beautiful: Google has been harassing Apple to implement RCS because it's an open standard and because its users feel green bubbles on iMessage are exclusionary. Now Google has implemented a proprietary protocol on top of RCS that only works with its messaging app, and only messages sent between users of that app appear in a darker blue color with a special lock icon.

So Apple will ship the RCS standard in iMessage, and communication between Android users and iMessage will be sent using RCS, but iMessage users will appear to Android users in the lesser light blue bubbles alongside the dark blue bubbles only given to Android users with Google's proprietary app! Huzzah!
> And don't they often have insane doubling times (something like 20 minutes for salmonella and e. coli)?

Such values are AFAIK under ideal conditions, usually meaning on a wet surface or submerged in a watery/damp environment at a mild temperature, with sufficient nutrients .. not really how most people store things like chopping boards or other kitchen equipment.

Just avoid red states.
In many problem spaces you can optimize for the common success and failure paths if you accept certain losses on long-tail failure scenarios.

A common logging strategy is to use a ring buffer with a separate isolated process reading from the ring. The vast majority of the time the ring buffer handles temporary disruptions (eg slow disk I/O to write messages to disk) but in the rare failure scenarios you simply overwrite events in the buffer and increment an atomic overwritten event counter. Events do not get silently dropped but you prioritize forward progress at the cost of data loss in rare scenarios.

Microkernels and pushing everything to userspace just moves the tradeoffs around. If your driver is in userspace and blocks writing a log message because the log daemon is blocked or the I/O device it is writing the log to is overloaded it does the same thing. Your realtime thread won't get what it needs from the driver within your time limit.

It all comes down to CAP theorem stuff. If you always want the kernel (or any other software) to be able to make forward progress within specific time limits then you must be willing to tolerate some data loss in failure scenarios. How much and how often it happens depends on specific design factors, memory usage, etc.
> You can start and stop solar and wind basically at the push of a button for very rapid response.

No, you can't do that with solar and wind, that's the whole point. Sure, you can choose to waste the renewable energy when it's in excess, but you can't conjure it when it is not.

If you want a grid that has a significant renewable percentage, you don't want stable base load plants, you want power storage, peaker power plants and demand scaling in response to supply.

Cue someone scoffing and saying, yeah, exactly, that's why we don't want any significant amount of renewables on our grid -- Fine! At least that's honest.

Well that answers why my keys no longer work on recent re-install. Ended up having to get grey market key. Figured after 10 years wasn’t the worst expense, but the amount of adverts and telemetry they gather for the price not sure it’s even worth the 15 dollars.

And they stopped updating the server code repo for a year, apparently to hide the launch of this token: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26725915

I don't think they ever confirmed that this was why they stopped updating, or did a postmortem on how poorly that launch went. I vaguely recall there was also an unexplained spike in MobileCoin trading shortly before the public launch that looked quite a bit like insider trading, though right now the stories I can turn up about it here are about similarly disconcerting and unexplained issues in its provenance: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

It's hard to take this fundraising plea seriously when this financial disaster is never even mentioned. I hope I've just missed whatever Signal has done to try to repair trust after the, but the fact that they haven't even removed it from the app is not promising. Can anyone share updates?
You still are buying from a dealer. Basically Amazon will be another car listing service like cars.com.
They haven't yet demonstrated that they can accurately steer it during reentry, nor that they can maintain communication with it in order to activate the FTS if they need to. So they're aiming it at a big empty patch of ocean, since aiming it at land would run the risk of missing the landing target by a significant distance and going somewhere populated.

I've never heard that before. I agree that the "language model" part has an accepted definition. I'd call e.g. GPT-2 an LLM and don't think anyone would bat an eye.
Vattenfall invested heavily (hugely) in German brown coal, then shelved it. Swedish tax payers effectively accelerating German energy off brown coal. In the greater scheme of things, not sure what to think of it, but as an investment, it was pretty bad.
Furthermore, generate music based on music you created. They're alienating the labor of the musician then using it to drive that musician ut of their livelihoods.

In the US, spent fuel sits on site in cooling ponds, and has for decades. Spent fuel isn't much, about three cubic meters per year for a big plant. The larger volumes of nuclear waste are from contamination, like accidents, or just things that come into contact with radioactive substances. Low-level waste is more voluminous and generally less dangerous. It mostly does not come from nuclear plants, which are designed to not produce much waste other than the spent fuel.

This issue is pretty much a red herring. A coal-fired power plant produces thousands of times more radiation--in the form of radioactive fly ash--than nuclear plants do. Where is that stored? The air. In your lungs. People die from cancer by the hundreds of thousands because of it.

Switching to nuclear would reduce the amount of radioactive waste humanity produces, by a lot, and concentrate it in liquid and solid forms, that actually can be managed.

So there's your answer. Nuclear waste is solid, and it's not much. We can manage it. Is there an answer for the radiation from coal? Nope.

This article describes the efforts of organizers from both major parties to ensure that election laws were respected, that votes were counted, that processes were not subverted, and that the will of the people was respected.

This paragraph, from the opening section, seems a fair summary of the work:

> Their work touched every aspect of the election. They got states to change voting systems and laws and helped secure hundreds of millions in public and private funding. They fended off voter-suppression lawsuits, recruited armies of poll workers and got millions of people to vote by mail for the first time. They successfully pressured social media companies to take a harder line against disinformation and used data-driven strategies to fight viral smears. They executed national public-awareness campaigns that helped Americans understand how the vote count would unfold over days or weeks, preventing Trump’s conspiracy theories and false claims of victory from getting more traction. After Election Day, they monitored every pressure point to ensure that Trump could not overturn the result. “The untold story of the election is the thousands of people of both parties who accomplished the triumph of American democracy at its very foundation,” says Norm Eisen, a prominent lawyer and former Obama Administration official who recruited Republicans and Democrats to the board of the Voter Protection Program.

Indeed, the article describes a non-partisan project staffed by organizers from both major political parties:

> “We had rabid Trump supporters who agreed to serve on the council based on the idea that this is honest,” Wamp [the former GOP legislator] says. This is going to be just as important, he told them, to convince the liberals when Trump wins. “Whichever way it cuts, we’re going to stick together.”

From reading the article, I really don't understand what it's meant to show in the context of the conversation. The claim was that the election is "admitted to have been unfair", but what I see documented is a lot of people working to ensure fairness. What might I be missing?
As someone who basically requires dextroamphetamine to function, I’ve always found the notion of becoming addicted to it crazy, nonetheless.

We could certainly add more combined cycle natural gas turbines to existing plants to meet demand in geographical regions that are unsuitable for wind and solar.

These costs seem absurd.

For instance, 1.3$ million per year for storage??? Apparently, they have 40 million users, so 1 MB per user (seems reasonable for Signal) means 40TB. You can buy a 4TB SSD for $200, which means you need $2000 one-time for 1MB per user.

How they get from $2000 to 1.3$ million is a mystery.

As for SMS registration, if they are spending 6 million, maybe they should find some way of doing it for free, e.g. Google might be offering it with Firebase, Twitter used to have it, etc. It's not great for privacy, but if they care about that they should just stop using phone numbers.

Routing video calls through a server to obscure IP address seems totally pointless while you are revealing the phone number anyway. And again there might be a way to do this for free, e.g. perhaps using one of free WebRTC STUN/TURN servers that e.g. Google seems to run.

As for bandwidth, a very conservative estimate seems 100 MB per month for each of 40 million users, giving 4 PB per month (though I guess the real usage is 1/10 that at most). Hetzner charges $1/TB, so that gives $4000 per month or $40k per year, overestimated.

Again a mystery how they get from $40k per month to $2.7 million.

Maybe the problem is that they use AWS/GCP/Azure/etc.? They have to be real idiots to use them since everyone knows they are insanely overpriced and should never be used unless a large corporation or deep-pocketed investors are footing the bills or they is no other possible solution.

Perhaps they need to consider stopping dumping money down the drain before asking for donations.
If they remove it, it would render several hundred dollars I have in that wallet inaccessible without extra work on my part.

For the legal definition of "frivolous", yes. For stuff like asking for additional EPA assessments which change nothing, but add another year and cost $$$, not so much.
This meme is a bit too misleading.

In reality tons of startups have a shitty product with zillions of bugs because "move fast break things". Then later on they don't survive because the only reason people even pay for them is because the other startups are spending silly money on it. When the well dries up, it all comes crumbling down.

Turns out that startup's software is too shitty and simply not good enough to survive a cost cutting round.

People love to pretend that just adding more features always beats everything else, but it's not as clear cut as people make it seem.

You make a good point and I agree 100%; itinerant very reasonably priced. I realize that my comment only highlighted the price being the only factor in my decision to move to other editor. It’s really more like 10% of the reason. My main reason is not having my development experience tied to a single non-open source product. Jetsbrains + ideavim lead to a very highly customizable experience (things like quick lists, triggering ide menu options from ideavim bindings, etc) however it’s still not as configurable as the open source alternatives. Plus I get the benefit of not leaving the shell. This, the price and several other reasons led me to commit to it (another big reason is that it’s just plain fun; the things you can build\come up with to speed your development experience is honestly more of a hobby at this point. So it’s not even about the speed to get things done but something that’s just very enjoyable)

Getting a bare metal stack has interesting side effects on how they can plan future projects.
