In the case you described I'm inclined to blame BOTH rent-seeking land lords AND a city unwilling to do that politically inconvenient thing. Fail to urban plan rather than allow a an unchecked market that fails consumers by reaching a maximum profit rather than maximum community benefit balance.
Plugging the numbers using France latest EPR:
20B for 1.2GW is 16M per MW
Batteries mentioned : 1.7B for 300MW for 16hr is 5.3M per MW for 16hr

So compared to EPR, we could spend another 10M per MW for production….
I saw a relatively conservative price of 2000$/kw AC at https://atb.nrel.gov/electricity/2023/utility-scale_pv

That’s 2M per MW. We can spend 10, an over capacity of 5x !
And that is not accounting for the price of money, it takes very long time to build a nuclear power plant, and you will have your PV plant in the year, probably a couple for mega pack due to demand.

Amazon's Big Secret
"The ban, which means the 14 Amazon employees who had access to the European Parliament can no longer enter the building without an invitation, follows the company's decision not to attend a January hearing about working conditions inside its fulfillment centers."

But if some Amazon "software engineers" showed up and asked to enter the building then they would be allowed to do so?

All Amazon employees are part of the same organisation, all working towards the same ends. Whether they are warehouse managers or code monkeys or lobbyists, it makes no difference.

Even if hypothetically these 14 people were employed by firms that represent many clients other than Amazon, the fact they can be banned to send a message to Amazon suggests they are 100%-focused on representing Amazon.

Mass-market supermarket ice cream tastes so bad in the UK now days. It's become some sort of aerated, whipped artificial goo, the taste and texture are no longer like real ice cream at all.

The article says it sheds light on how people with Downs were treated but doesn't really explain that.

The comments on NYT for this article are good. I had a hunch people who had experience caring for such children would show up in the comments, and probably be moving.
It's mentioned in the preceding article and the two papers that are linked.

In spite of the title no one is wondering if aliens moved planets around to park them in special orbits. It's infinitely more likely the resonances developed naturally.

Also, none of the planets are in the habitable zone, so it's unlikely there's life on them.

Which is a shame, because if the star was much dimmer and they were in the habitable zone, the views would make a stunning tourist attraction.
I think the distinction here might be that lobbyists often work for outside firms and in some countries may require to be registered as such.

> If you have a business, you already have a business address and you're paying taxes somewhere. Why can't you use that address?

As I said, I pay for the privilege of having a fictional address with a registered agent. It's a racket, but unfortunately, an unavoidable one until we stop this nonsense.

> What country are you in? Do you have any examples of this happening, or is this just a hypothetical you came up with?

The United States, and yes, I personally know someone who this happened to.

> Regardless, if your business is registered and you're paying taxes then, again, there's already an address associated with it. Stripe verifying this address isn't going to send local inspectors to your home.

My problem isn't with Stripe, it's with governments creating unnecessary hoops for people to jump through that don't actually solve any compliance issues. I pay for the privilege of avoiding it with a third party service that provides an address. I shouldn't have to. It doesn't help me, and it doesn't actually do anything for regulatory compliance.
Or maybe, instead of using radio or a golden disc, the aliens decided to synchronize planets of some system (not necessarily theirs), in order to try to communicate intelligent life using the gravitational waves, so the message can reach much further - maybe even to other universes (there are various theories, that we might communicate with other universes in the multiverse using gravity, or maybe with the previous universe before the Big Bang... As well as an idea that the dark matter is another universe that we interact with only gravitationally).
there are definitely video cameras that can, but a gopro (with, as mnw21cam pointed out, a wide-angle lens) probably isn't one of them—even in space with no air to cool the focal plane

From the article:
"Malicious hackers are targeting people in the cryptocurrency space in attacks that start with a link added to the target’s calendar at Calendly"

This is only an issue for users of "Calendly" which apparently is some third-party application for calendars. I'm all for recognizing security flaws in MacOS, but it's not like this is a flaw of default apps like the built in Calendar feature of MacOS. It could have easily be framed as "Using Calendly is a security risk".
> to give a correct and nearly complete answer.

Do we know how the order ultimately came about, and what it was originally based on? I don’t mean “because earlier alphabets had that order”, I mean an explanation in terms of the characters of the (earlier) alphabet themselves. I’m genuinely curious. I don’t remember having seen such an explanation.

That aside, my original point wasn’t to suggest that the Latin alphabet is similar in how its order came about to the Thaana alphabet. I’m well aware that it is based on an ancestry of earlier alphabets and their order. I merely made the point that the order does look rather arbitrary as well, meaning one shouldn’t necessarily expect a historically grown alphabet to exhibit an order that makes particular sense in terms of its characters.
Nope. I just think that going “this seems like it was just some randomly chosen bit of real code” is an accurate description of the snippet.
The advent of LAANC for automated airspace authorization has gone a long way towards limiting the number of activities you need a full-on waiver for.

Actually, it is in my jurisdiction. I have to have a Home Occupation Permit for any type of business whatsoever registered at my home. This is why my address on file is my registered agent, in a different city in my state that does not have this absurd requirement.
> they're literally worse than Stalin in this regard.

Ironically, not really, the numbers people typically refer to were calculated by extrapolating birthrate dynamics, not an actual accurate body count.

Applying the same method to calculate the victims of the Great Depression will yield about 7 mil dead. I remember some Americans being real pissed when some Russian historian did this kind trolling, mirroring Stalin-related western propaganda.
the mission of the 501(c)3 is defined in the original application for status. It is correct that spending has to be documented and related to the mission. There are more than a million 501(c)3 in the USA and the vast majority are small operations that are mission focused, and they do have to document and play by the rules, or face penalties or closure. That said, there is a "one percent" of non-profits who operate completely (mostly secret) structures and have for decades upon decades.

A primary reason to have a fiscal sponsor 501(c)3 -- and pay ten percent or more of income -- is that the paperwork is non-trivial each year.

Knew the person who ran one of the biggest ice cream factories on earth. Visited one time and there was a chocolate bar on their desk, untouched and melting. When I pointed it out they said they just want the chocolate coating so…

While that facility also didn’t let you put your mouth under the nozzle they did have mini fridges lining the walls so you could just grab some ice cream whenever you felt like. New employees gained weight as soon as they signed the contract.

Chase doesn’t let you send funds to Robinhood or coinbase?

Fwiw I used Solana pay last year in a brick and mortar retail, and it was on par with Apple Pay UX. Granted I already had phantom on my phone with funds in it.

But yeah I hear you that asking someone to download a wallet and fund it isn’t a great way to run a business. But if the burden of regulations becomes too high, I could see it being a thing. Fwiw, I see the need for regulation here, but regulation needs to be weighed against the damage it does to small businesses and individuals just trying to do a side hustle.
Acknowledging these documents can taint your mind for life if you're not careful.

In the emulator scene, there is a set of documents that describe, at deep and intimate levels, the inner workings of the N64, released by a disgruntled SGI employee somewhere on USENET. It is common knowledge that reading those documents taints you from working on basically any graphics or game related source for the rest of your life.

This doesn't just apply for leaked things. There's people who've worked on the Deep Parts of Windows, MacOS, etc. that they are basically barred from making contributions to certain open source projects (e.g. Wine, AsahiLinux) as anything they do would likely involve secrets that are tainted with knowledge from their former employer.

Every graphics, emulator, game engine, and embedded guru on the planet has watched the Gigaleaks out of nintendo with caution, as they now have to be VERY careful where some things come from. If someone reads code from The Gigaleak, then contributes code to an emulator, the emulator may be tainted.

This came to a head when the PowerVR SGX drivers were leaked ( https://www.phoronix.com/news/MTg0NTQ ) and several developers eyes were burned as a result.
Some good thoughts, though maybe you underestimate my bead on the

Let's hope we keep living to see how it pans out. Respects.
That is actually excellent PR. I would also add there was a more minor benefit from causing a reaction on social media in the first place, which indirectly advertised their product.
One of the problems I have with the analogy being made here is that most open-source projects were created because someone needed to solve a problem or do something to build something else. The other thing is that in software, more than anything else, it's usually okay to be imperfect or incomplete. An incomplete or imperfect drug is dangerous.

The other thing is that fundamentally OSS is a symbiotic relationship between creators, maintainers, and users. If I need to build a tool or tech for my own product, making it available to others gets me feedback, gets me ideas on how to improve it, hardens it, etc.
the chelyabinsk meteor was super slow and floaty, hovering in the sky to menacing effect (while glowing much brighter than the rising sun): https://youtu.be/gRrdSwhQhY0

however, that's because its trajectory was nearly horizontal rather than nearly vertical, so most of the people who saw it and were injured by it were tens of kilometers away, and it broke apart (exploded really) at 30 km up. it was initially traveling 19 km per second, 2½ times leo orbital speed. if you're traveling 19 km per second vertically instead of horizontally you only have 5 seconds from the von karman line (100km) until you make a crater or a tunguska

3 seconds from visibility to devastation still might be enough for hollywood dramatic flair

38-in-1 is some random storage media (USB stick, DVD. SD card, CD ) with "38" (or 45 or 2, or 99, pick a number) media files (movie, TV show, YouTube series whatever ) in various resolutions, formats, modes etc sold for next to nothing in the street.

Can be played Android-type boxes or even on phones / tablets

Essentially sneaker-net but for watchable media.

Not something you will see in much of in NA or Europe but very common in Asia and Africa where bandwidth /internet and more important, electricity, is relatively expensive.

The 90 minutes with your family comment is spot on.

in NA and Europe, this is mostly because folks don't have access to continuous internet. You are in back-country or don't have service or whatever.

In the Africa / Asia case, its because you don't have internet and / or power.

Most of the time, this media is viewed off TVs running on batteries, charged by solar, off an USB port. The electricity budget (because battery) says you get "90" mins of TV a day (not exactly 90: the power is shared between lights, charging phones, would be be more time but because electricity is limited, "TV time" is limited).

So those "90" minutes are family time, we all watch the same thing together.

Point being, in that world, Cam or SD of whatever works, no need for HD, or UHD or 4k or 8k - it is completely worthless. The screens that the content is being watched on are 720p most of the time.

Kaiser directly owns the provider arm. In my experience they operate totally differently from UHC. Many of their plans require you to use their provider, so you're basically prepaying for medical care from them.

UHC is notionally a PPO, but because Optum is owned by the same parent company and Optum is buying up all the providers, they're slowly becoming an HMO by monopoly. They play off of each other in any dispute.

I've had better experiences with Kaiser and had a family member who worked for them for a couple of decades.
I used SQL in various implementations for about 15 years. I didn't find much fault in it until I started using KQL (the language which seems to have inspired Pql).

The difference in enjoyability is stark: I truly hate SQL now.

More robust criticism is provided here (https://carlineng.com/?postid=sql-critique#blog). The quote I usually drag out is from Chris Date, who helped pioneer relational DBs:

"At the same time, I have to say too that we didn’t realize how truly awful SQL was or would turn out to be (note that it’s much worse now than it was then, though it was pretty bad right from the outset)."
