I'm not sure you're engaging with the word "illegal". If someone did what they've been successfully doing for generations they will be fined, arrested, have their business dissolved or otherwise made to change their ways.

> In what way is it better to live in China?

I usually refer to https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/per-capita-energy-use - their per-capita energy use is ahead of the UK and the trends on the chart favour China. I'd expect life in China to be better than in the UK in the next few decades if those trends don't do something radical (and when it comes to democracies vs. authoritarians, anything is possible).

But more importantly, the trends massively favour China. What they are doing is building a place that would be nice to live. The Anglosphere is letting a nice place to live slowly decay because we aren't willling to maintain it. For all the bleating about how we have to do more for poor people, we've made no attempt to double per capita energy use in the way China has; there have been explicit policies trying to reduce it. Largely, I point out, because the obvious way to get more energy from where we are is continuous development of Nuclear power and it has been banned in practice.

> Why are so many in China moving to the Anglosphere these days?

I dunno, are they? I'm sure they'd like to, the US is still a long way ahead of where China is.

Bitcoin itself is a scam that wastes energy. Without custodial ownership, scam transactions are resolved no different than legitimate ones. Without diligent regulation, Bitcoin's power usage can easily balloon beyond what any single institution would consider appropriate. Both of those things are demonstrably true, and providing Bitcoin ETFs via regulated exchanges changes neither one.

This is fine (although not particularly in harmony with Netflix's business goals), but I think it's also a recipe for stagnation.

My question is: how do you discover new things that you might like even more?

I think about this more in terms of music than movies, but maybe it applies to many media.

Some people will listen to Aerosmith and The Eagles until they die. They do not need media discovery. But how do new artists find an audience and how does that audience find new artists?

Recommendation engines suck, but is this a failure of current implementations, or something more fundamental?
I'm a shareholder of some companies, and I don't want short-term profits over long-term business growth, or even at the expense of human lives, both for ethical reasons and because it just seems like bad business sense, at least when accounting properly for all externalities.

EXACTLY, sad to say. If $Bobville_University operates $Bobville_Hospital - then how should you count the full-time medical, facilities, security, administrative staff at the hospital? At most a puny percentage of them are $Bobville_Professors.

Which is not to say that administrative bloat - both headcount and top-job salaries - isn't an existential problem in American academia. But to identify (& hopefully kill) it, you have to do some actual work, sorting through the details.

I always wondered if we would see hemp get seriously used here. Not a materials engineer, but the little bit I know about hemp, seems like it could be a good replacement.
I think the main reason is that most people have very straightforward tax situations, regardless of the amount of money involved. A high earner at a W2 job doesn't necessarily have anything more to report than someone working at a fast food restaurant. The tax brackets are higher but it's really all the same.

Different story if you're self-employed, own a business, or are involved in various types of investments.

"I realise the 23.05 is supported on the device, but my point is that it was entirely done by individual contributers from outside of GL.inet, not contributed by the company itself."

Not sure I understand why this would not be exactly what one would want. (Namely, people outside the company being able to get the hardware to work with an open source OS.^1) Who wants to be stuck with a proprietary vendor OS on a router, something like Ubiquiti (a company recommended countless times on HN), where the only way to get the full features is to use their OS instead of choice of Linux/BSD installed by the buyer.

AFAICT, GL.inet software is generally no better than OpenWRT or other open source projects. It's probably terrible. Why would anyone expect otherwise. Good reason to compile OpenWRT for oneself.

The GL.inet software is probably getting worse. FWIW, one can still buy the older models. The pre-installed bootloader can be replaced. For newer models, might have to contact GL.inet. It's not clear if you are suggesting one cannot get the source to the bootloader for the router you bought, i.e., you asked GL.inet and they said no or did not respond. If that's the case, then I am interested to know.

AFAIK, people bought the older models for the hardware, e.g., GB ethernet, small form factor, and being supported by OpenWRT. GL.inet is a hardware company that lets the buyer replace the pre-installed OS with their own version; this is anticipated. That is more than many companies selling similar products.

There may be better travel router hardware available today. But being known to work with OpenWRT is an important factor for some buyers. For _some_ GL.inet models, the hardware is known to work with OpenWRT and u-boot compiled and installed by the buyer. AFAICT, the models with the Mediatek 7981 SoC are not a problem. If this is wrong, please do tell.

fakemanhk:

while their MT2500/MT3000 using Mediatek chipset I might go for it since it has higher chance to get vanilla OpenWrt on it.

MT2500 and MT3000 will definitely get vanilla OpenWrt on them. I'm working on this. gl.inet has provided hardware and all necessary documentation (schematics, ...) to do this. Would of course be nicer if they'd even do that themselves, but that's too much to ask, I guess. It's quite different case from the SiFlower SoC where there isn't even any sourcecode for most drivers. For MT7981 everything relevant is available in sourcecode, just needed some work to go to upstream Linux and will land in OpenWrt very soon.
You have to verify their work.
It's almost entirely a function of wavelength and aperture diameter. It's basic wave mechanics, and is almost impossible to improve upon.

I just recently watched a great video explaining how lithography machines push the limits of what's possible: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdlZ8KYVtPU&t=1151s

Note that the best ASML machines can eke out an improvement on the order of a factor of two at best, not two thousand, which is what would be likely needed to power space probes at light-year distances.
Stanford has a $40B endowment and enough real-estate and land value to put a damn 10x multiplayer on that. They should probably employee more people and further distribute all that capital they're sitting on.

You're comparing total numbers of deaths while traveling on highways, which means you need to also compare total passenger miles traveled on highways. Using per capita is utterly absurd. I'm not saying that you're automatically wrong, but your current argument statement is incoherent.

AND ALSO, 40% of the autobahn has speed limits, trucks are always limited, and advisory limits apply everywhere according to https://www.deutschland.de/en/topic/life/germany-and-the-aut...

The link also says "In practice, this means that there are only a few stretches of road where you can really drive at unlimited speeds during the day."

AND ALSO, speed limits aside, what's the actual average traveling speed difference between the two countries for passenger vehicles? The same link says the average in Germany is about 78mph. Ask someone living in the US if that's significantly faster than here.

Now Tether owns tons of money, and can buy treasuries that bring few % of interests, and these interests are not paid back to USDT holders.

When they:

- Replaced good snacks with random, shittier ones

- Cut wellness benefits

- Closed the cool coffee shop

Sometimes it's a lack of product strategy with arbitrary cost cutting cannibalizing essential features of core product into a shell of its former self. Other times, it's round-after-round of layoffs uncertainty while making record profits and spending $10's of billions on servers without a clear need or purpose.

Blending Is All You Need – Cheaper and Better to Trillion-Param LLM
It's interesting, I've heard lots of tales about how we need the spinning mass to stabilise the grid in way which apparently solar, for example, doesn't.

It's not immediately obvious to me whether batteries do or don't provide this capability. I know there are some projects where they are introducing giant flywheels with motor generators (and others where mothballed power plants are run at tickover, though I think this might be more for active / reactive power control), are these just an alternative to batteries with much lower tech or is there something intrinsic about a rotating generator which is hard to reproduce?
Sure, but there's no point pretending they're all saints. They're just not as good at the game as me. They have no problem doing that to bicyclists and to smaller cars; I have no problem doing it to them. Same rules for all. Get big or get out of the way.

Amazon Q is appearing all over the place in the AWS console. The AWS Jetbrains plugin also integrates Q, though I've never actually used it. I can't judge the quality of their AI offering, because as I said, I've not used it, but they're definitely not asleep when it comes to AI.

With a big enough laser and a big enough collecting device for a reflected signal, I can imagine that communication even at such distances is possible. On the other hand I can't understand the propulsion mechanism. The acceleration is such that any device will simply be ripped apart by the immense forces. The "sail" must be both impossibly thin to even allow such high acceleration but also impossibly strong to transfer all that force to the craft itself, and if that's not enough it needs to be impossibly reflective so that the laser doesn't vaporise it instead of accelerating it. I can't see how anyone could think the concept could ever possibly work.
It is a great spot. Can be a tough entry when the surf is up. But overall I would say it is certainly among the best spots on Oahu for shore snorkeling. And it is just a 5 minute drive if you are staying at any of the condos or hotels at Ko Olina.
Dang I’m glad I’m not the only one also.

I think what’s perverse about it is that it implies some amorphous thing that you just passively take in to kill time, waste life, distract yourself from x. Like a bland wet fast food hamburger.

I can understand it. Sometimes that’s all you can handle. But being so blasé about eating it / giddy about producing it and getting money from it makes me physically cringe.
Most FAANG's are fine since their profitable and have access to cash. The real hit is startups, especially smaller or bootstrapped ones which will now have a much higher tax bill.
Sure. It's just that it generally does since the market as a whole understands scarcity value. The fact that having a much larger supply of something decreases the value of the individual unit is intuitively understood by most. The general public tends to price everything in relation to their home country's currency. They don't see the value of the currency falling, they view it as goods getting "more expensive". They do not usually think of fiat currency as a thing that's traded globally against other currencies and goods, but traders and businesses understand this.

Of course, the fact that the recent spike in monetary inflation coincided with a large hike in consumer prices over the past three years (which working class people have definitely noticed) as well as an asset price explosion, could have just been coincidence ;)
So, I have to go through a multitude of swaps, i.e losses, if Bitcoin is the real deal?! I've tried it, it's even more expensive than doing it directly!
> How do we not break all the merge commits that link a project specific PR?

You won’t lose commits that are already made. Open PRs might become a problem, I’d reopen them in the monorepo; this could be automated.

You would lose meaningful inter-linking for commits, PRs and issues, since they all have the same overlapping #xxx namespace.

You could triage all issues to the new monorepo, but the tool for rewriting history to re-reference issues (in the monorepo) and PRs (with the to-be archived repo as prefix) does not, as far as I know, exist. But it’s doable with some scripting and the GitHub API.

git filter-repo (not filter-branch) is wonderful for all the merging of repos, moving/splitting into subdirectories without git mv.

> What if you also are trying to manage external deps too?

I’d go with git sub-repo for that.
Texas is certainly pro-oil but it's also a top state for renewable electricity production. It has the most installed wind power of any state and is number two for solar power, behind only California:

Allowing the creation of a federal site to do free tax returns seems like it can only lead to the evaporation of their current customers. Who would pay them $150+ when you can just go to irs.gov/taxreturn (or whatever it is) and do it for free?

Top Boy s1 and s2 definitely are different. A dark and gritty feel to them, vs the more polished Netflix seasons. But s1 and 2 are both short. They provide some good background to see how the characters grew and the environment in which they grew up. In some ways Top Boy feels kind of like a UK version of American The Wire. I'd say S4 and S5 are top notch seasons. I liked how they ended s5. Definitely not a happily ever after type story.

It's not that hard to get DVD and Blu-Ray players. I went to this place

https://ithacareuse.org/

this afternoon and saw 5 DVD or Blu-Ray players that cost about $20. They even had a funky VCR with a USB port (to digitize movies on your computer) for $12.

That assumes you have some kind of TV set. I'd think a lot of people get their entertainment on a laptop or phone, VR headset or something like that and don't have a TV.

Filters also have loading specs which seems everyone ignored.

The guarantee is not that they remove x% of particles at y size, instantly, but that they settle at that efficiency after z level of loading

That also likely accounts for differences in some results - nobody seems to have taken this into accounts

(There are filter rating systems where z=0, for example n95 filters. That is rare in HVAC and general air purification though)

Not sure what products your experience comes from, but I am talking explicitly about keyfobs. This is generally produced by Tier 1 suppliers, not the OEMs themselves, and not too many players in the field. With the MCU suppliers it shrinks even more (talking about handsfree models, most common in the market, utilizing LF for localization and standard RF bands for Tx).

MCUs are highly specialized (also not publicly available), and you can play with the tuning registers up to several digits without much performance loss. 3xx/4xx MHz ones you can easily go over the regulation limits (IIRC in JPN occupancy is taken together with the power into the calculations, it's a very crowded spectrum...).

If a spread spectrum is used at 8xx/9xx range, there there is no worry of hitting the limit, here usually battery life and max peak current are limiting, and fine tuning is often done for individual samples at EOL in the plant. It doesn't necessarily mean that all at 8xx/9xx are spread spectrum, but the "premium" (usually half-duplex) are. They provide a lot better performances at low SNR (and thus great range) compared to the standard FSK/Manchester 1 or 2 CH fobs.
