To be fair, the thinking at the time was that trade relationships would foster better relations overall. I honestly don't think the results could have been foreseen early on.

Also perhaps it didn't have to be this way. An awful lot of people have been willing to overlook issues over the decades because it put money in their pockets in the short term. Perhaps if the US had taken a tougher stance on these issues earlier rather than turning a blind eye while they pilled up and reached a breaking point things could have turned out differently.

> It’s expensive now and technically difficult to scale at the moment, but so what.

Aside from there being no method for industrial extraction beyond a few laboratory tests and the existing reserves that are plentiful enough and more than a thousand fold cheaper to mine per X of yellowcake than any extrapolation of known lab bench seawater method.

But these are just mere pragmatic quibbles. You dream big big, okay.

The world’s oceans have long been regarded as a possible source of uranium because of the large amount of contained uranium (over 4 billion tU) and its inexhaustible nature.

However, because seawater contains such low concentrations of uranium (3-4 parts per billion), developing a cost-effective method of extraction remains a challenge.

...

These and other techniques have been recently investigated in what has become an active area of research, particularly in China.

While each resulted in an improvement in both the capture and recovery of uranium from seawater, it is important to note that these are laboratory tests only.

Development of an industrial scale method of extracting uranium from seawater, even with the bench scale improvements recently demonstrated, will need to overcome several challenges, including the vast amounts of seawater that would need to be processed, ecological concerns potentially arising from such a process, and production costs that remain significantly above market prices.

Why Tech Entrepreneurs Need to Be Programmers
I went through their website, but it didn't really answer my question of if this was really better than some old fashioned way, e.g. taking satellite imagery and measuring density of canopy and using some simple formula to estimate shade effect based on tree or orientation of the street perhaps. 3D modelling, constantly updating LIDAR maps, custom shading simulation, it all seems like a lot of resource heavy technology. I'm not sure whether or not its being applied in a way that actually offers a statistically significant benefit over other, maybe less expensive methods.
Peculiar to see this downvoted.

Clearly nuclear inputs and outputs are restricted to Permitted Countries.

Renewable energy inputs and hydrogen can be abundant and uncontrollable.

The nuclear industries links to militarism are incontestable.

Globally freely abundant energy cannot be solved unless you remove restrictions on nuclear inputs and outputs. If you retain control over them, maintain control over energy.

This logic isn’t discussed either due to a lack of understanding geopolitics, or wilfully ignoring the power and control implicit in nuclear power most likely due to a preference for being part of that power structure
Is that for export to the US or for the local Indian market? My guess is it’s for the latter.

India, I think, has a “make in India” policy in place.
>To be fair, the thinking at the time was that trade relationships would foster better relations overall.

The people in power never believed that. That's just how it was marketed to the people whose lives they were destroying.
Like zero interest rate policy and fast takeoff of the target rate, that appeared to be the case until suddenly it no longer was. Hindsight is 20/20.
So it's not just me then. Is it implying that software engineer job adverts are fake?

If the problem is oversupply of talent, you'd think salaries should drop as people compete for limited jobs... But that would only be the case if we had a free market.

I feel like to get a job as a software engineer, you have to pretend to be brainwashed. Just act very friendly and optimistic, pretend to be member of a minority group and make sure you tell them that you're fully vaccinated and boosted. Also, use a stage name on your resume instead of your real name and a separate email address.
It's more like a pleonasm than a tautology
It's really not about aggressive goals. OKRs are always tied to a single metric (in some cases secondary metrics exist, too). So if no one on the team has a strong ethical compass, the way that goal is reached is not a concern, the only thing that matters is reaching that goal. At every step the participating roles would bump the responsibility to think about the ethics of the proposed solution to the next role in the process. So at the end, no one cares or speaks up because the ethics are not embedded in any process, and are not included in OKRs.
Nice job scratching your own itch!

I start by saying, your customer who uses an iPhone is never going to use an Android, and vice versa, so there is no need to keep them consistent and identical looks and design wise. You should use the native items as much as possible because a random user is more likely to understand the common system version than they will understand your bespoke version. Use the native share icon, don't use the iOS share icon on Android, etc.

Also iOS tends to be way more consistent than android, windows, etc, so there could be a case for iOS native and 'company consistent' for everything else, especially if you're in the USA. iOS people pay more and it could be worth it to have two branches for customer support if it leads to total better conversions and thus more profits. Your business's core competency is not making UI toolkits, it's selling whatever your making. Leverage the literal billions of dollars apple and google invest into the core UX toolkits.

Actually, no, a galactic algorithm and nongalactic may give different answers.

Consider the TSP problem from TFA, in this case two approximation algorithms were presented, one marginally better, meaning the answer would be different.

I believe channel capacity encoding was like this as well, but that is not in my wheelhouse.

It's actually pretty common to have a holdout group that's basically a long term control group for a series of experiments. This way companies are able to measure long-term impacts, including negative ones.

I think Snowden proved that the NSA does routinely spy on the American public and the fact that the director of the NSA outright lied to congress under oath and never faced any consequence for it shows that the public will never be allowed to know the truth and that congress will never be able to stop them.
Humans can be born without a license, and frequently are. Same with private businesses. Public companies cannot exist without a license. Just because birth, household formation, and private business are heavily regulated in some times and places does not mean they always are. We humans were all stateless tribes once, and some of us still are.

Regarding your second issue, we’re in agreement. Yes it’s true under capitalism that with the heavy regulation of private individuals and firms, everything becomes the public sphere. Your house becomes a public place where your actions are subject to judgement.

Twitter was a cesspool of crap for years.
filled with idiots from all over.

Then for a short period of time it was involved in
a lot of censorship, a good amount of it politically aligned.
and various entirely US based controversies.

Then Musk decided to get in on it.
Released some files about the censorship
brought some of the idiots back.
and it caused some of the idiots to leave.
(fired a lot of people)

As I see it, Twitter, is now to some extent
where it was prior to all the hissy fits.
A cesspool of idiots.

For the vast majority of users, all this was just noise.
same thoughts. i kind of get the utility of logging the whole application state without breakpoints or stepping through stuff (but maybe debuggers can also do this?), but my first thought was that this is simpler for folks not used to debuggers
Website could be full of actual trolls much subtler than you're used to.
Yeah! On the actual notetaking side: I think I stumbled into a less deliberate "interstitial journaling" paradigm (a la roam research?). I setup the journal plugin to create a file per week from there keep a list of links to project specific files (hierarchies like :tools:autossh, :studies:R01grant:datashare). I also backlink from the project file to the journal file. So each page looks like a log. I try to aggressively interlink related topics/files.

I have an ugly and now likely outdated plugin for Zim to help with this. There's a small chance the demo screenshots for it help tie together what I'm trying to say. https://github.com/WillForan/zim-plugin-datelinker

On the tech side:
My work notes (and email) has shifted into emacs but I'm still editing zimwiki formatted files w/ the many years of notes accumulated in it Though I've lost it moving to emacs, the Zim GUI has a nice backlink sidebar that's amazing for rediscovery. Zim also facilitates hierarchy (file and folder) renames which helps take the pressure off creating new files. I didn't make good use of the map plugin, but it's occasionally useful to see the graph of connected pages.

I'm (possibly unreasonably) frustrated with using the browser for editing text. Page loads and latency are noticeably, editor customization is limited, and shortcuts aren't what I've muscle memory for -- accidental ctrl-w (vim:swap focus, emacs/readline delete word) is devastating.

Zim and/or emacs is super speedy. Especially with local files. I using syncthing to get keep computers and phone synced. But, if starting fresh, I might look at things that using markdown or org-mode formatting instead. logseq (https://logseq.com/) looks pretty interesting there.

Sorry! Long answer.
Agree the naming is a bit confusing. They're all types of JSON Web Tokens (JWT), though. They're also defined in separate RFCs, but reference back to the JWT one.

They're all made of base64url-encodes segments, separated by a period. The first segment is always the header, and you can easily identify them by starting with "eyJh".

A plain JWT has two segments, the second is the payload. In practice AFAIK it's not really used because it's just bloating your data.

JWS has a third segment that's the signature of the payload plus private key, and can be verified if you have the public key. JWT.io is a site where you can play with these.

JWE has five segments including an encrypted symmetric key, the IV and ciphertext.

So yeah, JWE is technically a different subtype. I'll only note you can stick an already-encrypted payload in a plain JWT or a JWS, and you can also take a JWT or JWS and encrypt it, and none of these is the same as actual JWE token.
This makes sense, let's say that R&D per unit is a similar amount, that would totally explain how Nvidia is able to generate insane 50%+ net profit margins (74% gross margin), higher than FAANG and unheard of for hardware companies [1][2]

Nice practical article. I tried to rewrite the code in it to use byte slices and calls to the bytes package instead of strings while keeping the calls to Split, thinking it would be faster due to less copying. The allocations were actually about 1.5x higher than in the original string version. It turns out a slice header in Go is 24 bytes versus 16 for a string header, and 24/16 = 1.5.

Tangentially related:

Not really necessary here but lately I've been using buffer pools like the one by the fasthttp author to avoid allocating in performance sensitive places. But the code is sometimes pretty ugly.

// get buffer from pool
body := bytebufferpool.Get()

// create request body
body.WriteString(`{"config_id":"`)
for i := range configID {
c := configID[i]
if c != '/' {
body.WriteByte(c)
} else {
// escape slash
body.WriteByte('\\')
body.WriteByte('/')
}
}
body.WriteString(`","commit":`)
if commit {
body.WriteByte('1')
} else {
body.WriteByte('0')
}
body.WriteString(`,"struct_items":[]}`)

// send request
...

// add back to pool
bytebufferpool.Put(body)

The market for subscription video cameras on iOS is dead and I am happy to help it stay there.

I have a set of videography tools I released last week (free camera) using what model I believe is viable and useful; truly give away the camera like Blackmagic, sell privacy focused tools to get and manage footage over the network.

I haven't posted here about them as I want to post the next update with some key features before most know, but if you need some tools have a look and let me know what you think.

Reminds me of the Maury Travis case. Documented in the Forensic Files episode "X Marks the Spot". "Shear Luck" is another memorable episode about a suspect who cut up a floppy disk containing evidence.

I read about Prime being hard to cancel several times now. It's not harder than any other membership. It feels weird defending Amazon, but just go to your Account, you will see a large card right at the top saying Prime. Click that, on the next screen, again, right at the top it says "Membership. Update, cancel, and more". Click that and it will open a large popup with the End membership button.

Yes, it's true, that on the next screen it will tell you how much you saved using Prime and will offer to look at other plans or to continue cancelling. So this screen is sort of a dark pattern, I guess. Even then, privacy-oriented companies like Proton show a similar upsell screen on cancellation.

Overall Prime cancellation is very straightforward, compared to scummy companies that require you to email or call them to cancel membership. Unless the (unreasonable) expectation is that the CANCEL PRIME button should be front and center on every page on amazon.com. And clicking it should immediately cancel the membership without any confirmation.

Edit: the shaming element of the cancellation process was removed by Amazon long time ago.
