Hey fellow cilantro-sufferer, I also have that reaction to it. I love so much of the food it's in though, and cooks often struggle to understand that it isn't pickiness, it's vile to me.

The question the paper asks is: if all of global electricity is generated using solar panels, will that have any impact on weather or climate elsewhere.

Their model: Put all of those solar panels in Northern Africa!!!

In this extreme scenario, yes, their are possible impacts. Since, such an extreme scenario is unlikely to happen, this is only an intellectual exercise.

Don't have a nationally advertised price, because the cost of telecom services isn't nationally identical. Instead:

- Use the highest possible taxes and fees for any address in the service area of the store. Nobody is going to feel deceived if it turns out they had to pay less money for their phone service.
- Provide a low and high range of taxes and fees for that same area and fine print that taxes vary based on service location. Verizon can't charge more than the high amount, and the low amount has to correspond to at least one service area that is actually billed that amount.
- Provide a table listing out taxes, fees, and total price for each tax zone within the service area. This could be combined with the other two, and probably should be available unless there's, like, 200 different tax zones in the area of the store.

All of these are a darned sight better than "we don't have to mention anything about taxes and fees until you're a month into the contract and they can be any number we please".

An anti-stress app for people without a cat
Hey everyone, I hope you are doing well!

I had an idea the other day, to bring the benefits of a cat to people that have none, to reduce their stress level. It's a quite small app for now, with basically just one feature, where you put a phone on your chest, run it and it purrs with different vibration effects. Hope to see some feedback comments and know what you all think.

I have couple of features in the roadmap for future, but feel free to give your ideas or any comments, I would really appreciate that.

Ahem:

Statistic Reading
Instantaneous 1528 W | 5215 BTU/hr
Peak 1346 W | 4594 BTU/hr

That's R720 with dual "PWR SPLY,750WP,RDNT,FLX" PSUs. You can configure them for the redundancy mode and you can cap the maximum power per PSU:

Hot spare is a power supply feature that configures redundant Power Supply Units (PSUs) to turn off depending on the server load.
*This allows the remaining PSUs to operate at a higher load and efficiency.*
This requires PSUs that support this feature, so that it quickly powers ON when needed.

Redundancy Policy:

Not Redundant — In this mode, failure of a single PSU can power off the system.

Input Power Redundant — In this mode, the system is functional in the event of failure of a PSU input circuit,
provided the PSUs are connected to different input circuits. This is also called AC redundancy.

Yes. Too many people who have only used the free ChatGPT 3.5 come away thinking, "if this is all there is, I've got nothing to worry about". It's not until they pay for ChatGPT 4.0 and use it for a while that they realize they've been dismissing a straw man all this time.

To be fair, ChatGPT 4 isn't available everywhere and $20/mth though cheap to Americans, isn't that affordable to the rest of the world.

But it is a vast improvement over 3.5 and actually a game changer for many things. Even a year after its launch, no other LLM has come close:

But some people use services like ClickCease which helps mitigate click fraud (e.g. if your competitor clicks your ad over and over, ClickCease and similar services can automatically exclude their IP so they can’t click your ads.. or at least that’s the pitch)

Some of these services work by being the first hop in the redirect chain.

I was under the impression that Google whitelists services allowed to be used for redirects.

While I do think that language plays a role in our cultural lenses, there are more fundamental forms of communication that span the entire globe, namely melody, harmony and rhythm. While there are subtle differences, it can be heard that octaves and perfect fifths, the pentatonic scale, and a four or three count rhythm are found in almost every culture. Because of this musicians can generally travel the world and find some kind of common ground, albeit if everyone agrees to more of a free form exploration!

There are many anthropological theories that suggest that music as a form of communication came before the spoken word, be it the beating of logs or vocalized melodies to communicate during a hunt, call for assistance, mark the start of a raid, etc.

I am really confused as to why this is considered as a tax break strategy. Operating costs directly lower earnings, where as R&D might have to be amortized over years - at least in certain european countries. Isnt this reinvesting in your business? Also spending (or donating) money lowers your taxes by lowering your earnings.
To my knowledge there's no really effective way of converting low grade waste heat into electricity. Basically all heat-based electricity generation today relies on being able to boil water into steam to spin a turbine. But with heat pumps and district heating, you can recover useful amounts of energy even from quite small thermal gradients. That's why things like room temperature sewage and waste heat from data centers can be useful to these systems even though they couldn't be used to generate electricity.

Also, if you rely on local heat pumps, you still need to take the energy from somewhere. Taking it from the air is fine in warmer climates, but in colder climates the efficiency of air-source heat pumps starts to become an issue when it gets colder. You can extract heat from deep underground, but that doesn't universally work in densely populated areas because the ground doesn't contain infinite amounts of energy and it's possible to extract more than it can sustain. So, in cold climates there's definitely a use case for distributing heat using water pipes, with or without local heat pumps in every building (see the sibling comment about 5th generation district heating systems).

I'm not sure the perf/battery life tradeoff is a necessary aspect of immediate mode UI.

while (running) {
event := get_next_event()
process_event(event)

}

You could just have get_next_event block until there is a meaningful event that occurs (e.g. mouse click). You could even have your UI report "interactive" rectangles to the event layer to prevent it from producing e.g. mouse move events that are irrelevant.

IMGUI is just a different API design IMO.

One complication of this is that sales taxes can apply down to the city level, meaning the amount the vendor collects after tax can be somewhat variable. This would make a lot of sense if we had a federal sales tax that was just distributed to states based on the purchase location.
Bitcoin is doing more to accelerate the adoption of wasted energy than any corporation on the planet. It is the buyer of last resort, open to anyone.

Were any "cents" stolen? I suppose it's possible, since Post Offices do deal in foreign currency transactions.

> I believe fundamentally that two workers who have different productivity and/or different work ethics should be compensated differently. Elon Musk (and many rich people) have, on average, better work ethic and considerably better output.

Half the population has better than average work ethic.

Does Musk have a better work ethic than his lesser paid employees? That's dubious. After all, he infamously demanded that Twitter employees be "extremely hardcore" and work "long hours at high intensity". But these employees are not compensated nearly as much as Musk. They're not even rewarded at all in many cases. He still fired a bunch of them afterward, even the women who tweeted a photo of herself sleeping in the office.

What about the work ethic of the poor people who work multiple jobs because one job doesn't pay enough? How is there any relation whatsoever between work ethic and income? Note that Jeff Bezos, one of the other five richest men whose income doubled, actually quit his job! You don't make massive money from working for wages, you make massive money from owning assets and waiting for them to appreciate. This is how Musk got his PayPal payoff despite having been removed from power by other investors.

There are countless people in the world who are extremely smart and have a great work ethic. But that doesn't automatically bring great wealth. A lot of it is being in the right place at the right time. Do you need to be smart and have a good work ethic to take advantage of the opportunity? Yes, probably. But most people aren't lucky enough to get those opportunities in the first place.

It also helps to ruthlesslessly pursue wealth with no regard for ethics...

> Just by the fact that Elon has been involved in so many successful ventures at a global level, that is by definition proof that he is doing something better than virtually all of us.

He makes more money than virtually all of us. That's beyond dispute, and indeed the subject of the submitted article. It's basically a tautology though and not an explanation.

> Working hard means making progress on problems at the edge of your abilities.

Well, as I mentioned, loading shampoo bottles into crates for 8 hours was definitely on the edge of my abilities.

> Sure, loads of people end up with the biggest percentage of shares in a company like PayPal and then also continue with other extremely impactful ventures, one after the other at the edge of technology. Repeated moonshots is "lucky".

You're missing the point. Musk was kicked out of his own company not just once but twice for incompetence. Yet he still got a $175 million payoff. That's failing upwards.

He ought to be kicked out of Twitter for incompetence too, but unfortunately he can't be.

> you form a "household language" with your partner

This has more to do with alignment of signifiers and emphasis (determined by the concerns particular to that relationship). Language is, of course, not just the collection of signifiers, but the signs in toto, which means signifier, concept/proposition, and signified.

> the origin of the hermaneutic effort comes from aneffort to reconcile inconsistencies in the christian texts

I would just emphasize that what constitutes a cohesive corpus of text (like the Bible) is determined by prior Tradition. That is, it wasn't the case that the Bible came first in absolute terms (it didn't fall from the sky), but that the Bible was assembled (by the Catholic Church) through the lens of Tradition from texts written over the course of thousands of years. This Tradition provides not only the hermeneutic means that allowed said text to be compiled in the first place, but also the means to interpret the text in the future with greater depth as more is learned and the Tradition is refined and developed. That's how we know that Genesis, having been written in a different language, time period, style, and cultural climate than the the Gospel of John, must be read differently from the Gospel of John. (Incidentally, this is the reason behind the absurdity of sola scriptura. By doing away with the unbroken Tradition that links us to the past and gives us the means by which to interpret Scripture, we are left to whatever parochial devices we happen to have. This explains, in part, the great variability and divergence of interpretation among Protestants, made evident by the presence of over 40 thousand Protestant sects in the US alone.)

SCOREBOARD
"And in any case, these effects are based on hypothetical scenarios. Our Sahara scenario was based on covering 20% of the entire desert in PV solar farms, for instance, and though there have been ambitious proposals, anything on that scale is unlikely to happen in the near future. If the covered area is reduced to a more plausible (though still unlikely) 5% of the Sahara, the global effects become mostly negligible."

All that, then this. Hard to take this seriously outside the realm of academic curiosity.
