Seawater ain’t no joke.

I remember reading a few papers about essentially underwater turbines in tidal estuaries. Where you have natural flow of water that you can just tap. If I recall correctly impact on local wildlife (seals iirc) was lower than expected.

Main argument I could see was that water had 1000x the density of air so 1000x the amount of power for a rotor with the same swept area. Of course fluid speeds are lower so it’s not quite that easy. But much more predictable. They did some fancy optimisations in the blades and came up with decent efficiencies. It’s a great little series of papers by Batten and Bahaj et. al from 2006.

I assume the art has progressed since then.

But yeah, anything with moving parts in seawater is a nightmare as far as I can tell.

Because that number makes it sound like a way bigger problem than it is. In reality it’s ~1/6 of a percent, not 40%.
Why do you call them 'economic migrants?' The longstanding description before was 'illegal aliens.'
I don't even know if that's true. I have an AMD laptop that dual-boots Fedora KDE and Windows 11. When I watch videos (local files) on both, I can get about the same battery life. But Linux, in general, is much worse with OpenGL/Vulkan applications (games, primarily). With Chrome, Windows is slightly better; with Firefox, Linux is significantly better. But Chrome on Windows is generally "best". Etc.

So it's going to be application specific as much as small things like hardware configuration differences in each OS (which can be tailored to match).

Tesla is the company that makes cars that break down severely due to... rain, and car wash. Corroded battery shells, shorts, corroded power steering wiring. And 5 digit bills to fix that, warranty or not.

So when they say they'll make cars that can be used as a boat, that really means a lot. I really believe it. Yup.

I especially believe the part where they'll take 20 grand for the package, and then when you sink, or your car turns into a rust bucket few months later, they'll tell you that you drove it wrong.

Not all authors are against this either. Some big names are all in supporting Spotify (and other new audiobook platforms) because they are sick of Amazon/Audible monopoly.

I understand the use of wave in this context like hydrogen fuel cells in NA. It's amazing to hear that our governments are still giving money to what is clearly a bad idea (hydrogen). I think, like in the case of tidal power, you could chalk it up to doing something to sate special interests.
On an obviously old car, correct, but on newer looking cars, it might not be worth the hassle to pull them over. Unless there is a way of tying it to the license plate that the police cameras scan, it’s soon going to make it hard to make sure each officer is aware of the specific models. Which means some officers will probably choose to ignore anything with these lights and some may choose to pull over vehicles even with clearance.

I'm friends with a pretty well-off real-estate contractor. He invest small amounts early in upcoming building via friends-n-family. His wife is a nurse. He gave up his lucrative income generating job here in India to be with his wife who is migrating to UK.

I believe it is the respect and incentives that are lacking in India for doctors and nurses that is driving them away.
Have been following this a little and two things seem to be true:

Looking at the economic numbers, a lot of things look good, or at least, they are not so bad.

Multiple polls asking people how the economy is doing show they think it is doing worse.

Generally Biden supporters push the first point, and Biden detractors push the second. Some of the Biden detractors are Biden voters who want different economic initiatives.

One point is during Covid people got stimulus checks and evictions and student loan payments were frozen. Also interest rates were near zero, FAANGs were hiring like crazy etc.

Now people were hit by inflation and interest rates have shot up. FAANGs haven been laying off, and to some extent Fortune 500 - or at least hiring is frozen. And so on.
Bumper sticker philosophies tend to have limited real-world utility.
I'm staring at the 653,000 figure and still can't determine if I'm shocked because it seems surprisingly low or high. Perhaps it's because the previous poster dropped a 40 million number that moved my frame of reference.

To put it into perspective for myself, 653,000 is larger than the following cities, based on 2022 estimates:

- Boston
- Portland
- Louisville
- Memphis
- Detroit
- Baltimore
I think the idea that you could so easily ruin an innocent person's life proves it's not "relatively easy" to detect these psychopaths as children. The outliers, sure, but there are plenty of evil people who seem completely normal their entire lives.

So many books just pad with anecdotes. If I could get a "just the important anecdotes" version of a book, I absolutely would. Few isolated concepts that a single book is tackling (that isn't specifically for a specialized field) should be over 300 pages. Page count is an actual turn off of a book for me if it's a non-fiction "I want to learn this thing" kind of book. I'm not trying to waste that much time.

Now, if this is something like a software book and they cover a large amount of concepts, that's a different story, but if I'm reading a book like Jack Bogle's "The Little Book of Common Sense Investing" (may have butchered that name), it should be short and to the point for the average reader. Leave the rest to an economics text book.

This feels in line with TFA to me. The value of your assets were underwater (their liability exceeded their value) because they didn’t match the problem domain of your business. You’ve now jettisoned those liabilities and are focusing solely on the assets that are valuable, because they match up well to the problems you need to solve.

The idea that recycling exists allows guilt-free production and consumption of more plastics even if those are not actually ever recycled.
The good thing about reducing/ eliminating meat consumption is that it would actually help with plastic as well. Mainly because the fishing industry is responsible for over 50% of the plastic pollution in the oceans. And because you reduce the packaging waste of all that meat being sold.

Equating technical debt to bad code does seem fairly common, but I think that that stems from what people think of as bad code. I feel that technical debt is commonly references in connection to writing some quick and dirty code that solves the immediate problem with little regard for the future. Code that is quick and dirty may feel like bad code, but it doesn't have to be. If your fix is good code though, doesn't that kinda mean that it's not quick and dirty and that it doesn't add any technical debt to a project?

Architectural decisions may very well result in technical debt, but an architectural decision to go with a vertically scaling solution doesn't have to be a bad decision or bad code. It's only really a problem once you get enough users that you need to start scaling horizontally. At that point though it would very much be considered a technical debt since it was originally trading development time with future scalability.
I don’t disagree that some people treat kids as status symbols, but that’s basically a pathology in our society IMO. The point of having kids should be to raise some happy, well-adjusted people. Education is important but for their enrichment, not as some silly high-score focused game.

Education—there’s the cost of providing it, and then there’s the zero-sum competitive component. As far as I can tell we seem to be re-investing all that extra money into deans, administrative staff, and fancy facilities, so I think we should just not play that game.
Corruption and bending the rules will probably happen even with this system, but it raises the barrier, and if it's inconvenient enough, it will be only done for the most important cases.

If every local sheriff can intimidate and bully a local pharmacist to get the information it's very different than if you need a congress person to call in a favor with supposedly one of the few people who have access to the information.
You hope they cannot be held liable. That doesn’t mean that you can’t be raided, or have to defend yourself against charges of illicit content being found in a computer you use, or accusations that you’re knowingly supporting crimes. A lot of that is going to depend on the service and how much visibility you have into user activity - a caching storage node is going to be riskier than forwarding encrypted packets, for example.

Here’s an example of some privacy activists:

Maybe you’re super ideologically committed to providing a privacy service and willing to take the risk, but you still want to soberly consider those risks and think about the impact if it’s harder to defend yourself than you thought. It’s not a casual decision.

In the USA the implementation of self checkout varies wildly, and seems to be linked to the socioeconomic condition of the neighborhood.

Grocery shopping in rich neighborhood = scale has a large tolerance and will not stop you from continuing to scan if you place something unexpected on it. You can scan and bag in whatever order without the machine making any accusations.

In a poor neighborhood = you scan an item and put it on the scale, then put your bag from home on the scale to bag the first item. The scale is set to a strict tolerance and stops scanning items “UNEXPECTED ITEM IN BAGGING AREA” and you have to wait for an employee to unlock it.

As they say “there’s nothing more expensive than being poor”, and bad self-checkouts is just another factor in that.
It was certainly true for us that Covid allowed us as parents to see into our children’s daily class lives. Some of it was good, much of it…was not.

It's great to see how the usage of the North Sea have shifted over time, and it still remains as useful as before.

Nothing can ever make losing a child 'fine'. You must not have children.
The line you’re drawing is arbitrary. It is clear to all that getting drunk, ever, lowers your security. You can couchsurf five hundred times and have nothing like this happen. You can get drunk at strange bars day in and day out and have nothing like this happen. You can be walking from a bus stop to your cheap motel a bit too tired or take a jog too early in the morning and be victimized in much the same way.

We can ensure our safety, or we can live our lives and experience the world. Perspectives that jump instantly to what a victim could have done better to improve their safety are reasonable, especially when discussing prevention, but you might learn something about the very common angle of these perspectives if you consider other situations re: personal security where you don’t immediately ump to what the victim could have done.

My observation is you get a LOT more of the “oh you silly thing, how could you have not known this would happen to you?” When dealing with female victims of sex crimes.
I don't think it's pedantic to correct a number that is sixty times off. That's absurd. If they said 800k, then sure. 40 million is absurdly off and should be commented about to prevent others from running with that absurdity.

I believe the actual technical term these days would be "asylum seeker" which is actually a legal status. Perhaps they are taking advantage of that status to seek immigration for economic reasons and so "economic migrant" is also a fair description.

Interestingly, if you work with construction crews in South Texas (I do not, but my parents dabble in the business), you'll find that Spanish is an invaluable language. I don't know what that says about legal status (it seems rather impolite to ask the people who are building your house for you), but it seems like these people may be part of the solution to the housing issues.
Ok, so one of the killer apps that I have discovered with LLMs is to further my own personal political depolarization. ChatGPT will always make a solid argument for most any other side.

To help identify what the heck I am talking about here, here is ChatGPT Classic's take on "libertarianism vs capitalism vs crony capitalism vs anarcho capitalism" [0] I found it very good reading.

What I realize now is that I was only holding on to one aspect of "libertarianism."

> Free Markets: Supports the idea that a market free from government interference naturally leads to efficiency, innovation, and wealth creation.

If I may be introspective for a moment, I believe that the reason that I may have used libertarianism instead of capitalism, is because how polarizing "capitalism" has become in the US discourse. I feel like readers would assume that if I am making light of capitalism, then I must support communism or some equally obsolete ideology.
