Again, the answer is almost certainly no, unfortunately.

A Laser 128 isn't that fundamentally different to an actual Apple II. In fact, from a wider point of view, they are "almost identical".

DRAM needing timely refresh is universal to DRAM itself: It's because DRAM is literally made of a transistor and a capacitor holding your bit, and if you don't access it every so often, that capacitor discharges eventually. The most realistic path to "slow DRAM" would be to replace DRAM with SRAM altogether, which is effectively made of transistors only, and holds its content as long as just power is applied. It's not that hard to replace DRAM with SRAM: Apart from not needing refresh, SRAM behaves similar to DRAM. It's just more expensive (and usually faster, which is also not a drawback), and the DRAM refresh, while not doing anything useful, wouldn't hurt.

But as for video output, that's just a consequence of how Apple II's (most microcomputers of that era, actually) video output works: By literally controlling the electron gun in the CRT, with only some analogue electronics in between. The monitor however wants to move the electron beam at a certain speed (or, if you had a fancy Multisync monitor, a set or range of speeds). But even if that wasn't the case, the phosphor on the screen glows only for a short amount of time, so draw your picture too slow, and you will only see small parts of it.

The latter can be demonstrated by just pointing a camera at a CRT. In all likeliness, the camera's frequency will be slightly off from the CRT's frequency, so that you capture different parts of the beam's path at each frame, simulating what it would look like if you'd slow down the beam itself: https://pub.mdpi-res.com/sensors/sensors-22-01871/article_de...

Would it be possible to decouple the video output circuit from the microprocessor's timing? Absolutely! And this is in fact what virtually any modern computers has been doing for many decades by now: Even if you still can find analogue VGA with a CRT, that VGA card had its own clock that is completely independent of the CPU's clock. But that's just not how simple home computers of that era usually operated.

> As a solution, the CRON job responsible for the DNS failover also checks for the current week number of the year so that:

> In an odd week number, the first server is the default master

> In an even week number, the second server is the default master.

This is nice. Fixes the difficulty with cert issuance in a pretty low effort manner, and ensures the failover is exercised. I've dealt with failover systems that were very rarely exercised, which usually means a lot of excitement when it does happen.
I'd be interested in a quantitative analysis here. Methane is much worse, but sunlight has broken most of it down after a decade or so. CO2 is comparatively forever.

Presumably there's a point where the lines cross and leaking green methane is still a win. I guess it just comes down to where those lines cross and whether we deem that an acceptable goal.

No, I'm saying you are getting the causality inverted. You then "translate" what I am saying by inverting what I am saying and then call me names. How about you argue with exactly what I write rather than trying to "translate" it.

Because corporate shell companies have political sway.

I'm happy to grant any corporation all the privacy they desire IF we had campaign finance and lobbying laws that prevented the corporations from interacting with politicians (At least, not without a significant barrier, IE, only being able to talk to a third party and getting criminal charges if they try and give them money).

The issue is money can buy sway. We saw this with Disney and copyright law becoming long and longer with more strict enforcement.

I'm not an adolescent anymore, but I'm a Gen-Z'er who definitely thinks about these things a lot more than is healthy.

Firstly, the age of technology was seen as a godsend for a lot of us to connect more quickly and easily. In the beginning, it seemed great! I remember a lot of mid to late 2000s social media was user-focused. But we know that nowadays the value given to us was clawed back and monetized in an effort to generate returns due to the massive reliance on VC funds. And nothing generates engagement, clicks, and usage more than internet fights. I hate to say it but even just last week I found myself in a Twitter argument that had me checking and scrolling Twitter every 5 minutes. That's not healthy to anyone, but Twitter got more ad views out of me that day than any other day before or since. And because of that, my algorithm is absolutely f*ked and only shows me content that makes me angry so they can drive another internet argument out of me. I know Twitter isn't intentionally doing this, but the algorithm is built to prioritize engagement, and arguing was the most engaging thing I did.

Included with this is the proliferation of 24/7 news. My parents only saw the news on newspapers or on TV, which would typically only air it for a few hours a night. If you wanted to avoid the news, it was 100% possible and fairly easy. Nowadays, if you use the internet, you're going to encounter news. And, of course, news sites have to generate income through ads or subscriptions, so create clickbait articles, showing rage bait articles to drive traffic and arguments to further increase ad revenue. I can't even scroll through my friend's Saturday night Instagram stories without seeing someone post bloody bodies from the Gaza/Israel conflict.

Lastly, there's a lot of resentment in the younger generation. I'm not even 30 and I've experienced two recessions, a pandemic, wages have stayed stagnant since I started working while rent has tripled in that same timeframe, the city I grew up in is sinking due to climate change. My friends right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are discussed on TV like they don't matter.

I guess the concise way to boil it down is: No matter where we look or what we do, we are inundated with anger, rage bait, consume consume consume, if you want to rent a place then work multiple jobs, everything you remember growing up will be gone by the time you're old enough to truly appreciate it, etc. We've internalized that there is no future for us, and it's everyone's fault.
Phones use very little energy, and if it causes a person to move around less, then it would greatly help reduce worldwide energy consumption.

More orgs directly contributing to upstream is best in my eyes too. I'm not against forking, but there are usually real benefits to running the latest version of the most popular one.

One opposite of this I've seen is Mikrotik's RouterOS. I'm under the understanding that they usually reimplement software and protocols rather than depending on an upstream.

I'd imagine that is what leads to issues such as missing UDP support in OpenVPN for 10 years, and I'm not sure it gives me the warmest fuzzy feeling about security. Pros and cons, I suppose. More secure because it's not the same target as everybody else. Less secure because there are fewer users and eyes looking at this thing.
> a corporation has the same rights as a natural person to hold property, enter into contracts, and to sue or be sued.

A person has rights other than to hold property, enter into contracts, and to sue or be sued.
The fun path would be to modify the display to run at 3Hz (and also implying the much slower horizontal scan rate), but due to the phosphor coating's short persistence, you'd at best see only a small sliver of the full picture at any time. Exactly like you see if you point a video camera to a CRT whose frequency does not match up exactly.

But if you'd take a long exposure photo of the CRT, it would likely work! (EDIT: Might fry your phosphor, though... as for any other components, like filters or components that may get damaged by the now only slowly changing current, I just assume you replaced or retuned that as part of the conversion process.)
So we should rely on the government being the only party with access to what you would make privileged information? A key aspect of public accountability is tautologically dependent on public information. We are supposed to keep our own elected officials as well as those granted the right to private property in check or else fraud and corruption would reign supreme.

We have been operating under these conditions since the advent of the democratic republic and to our good fortune.

The governing body of a corporation isn't its shareholders.

Just guessing that the price varies hugely depending on where in the world you're buying it. I'd expect it to be cheaper the closer you are to a saffron-producing nation.

A bit like how, if you're used to how cheap avocados are on the US west coast, you can suffer from sticker shock when buying them on the east side.
Excellent, since you wish to run a cost-benefit analysis you can first start by citing the research you used to conclude that the abuses of the current system are small. That would give us a baseline for analysis.

It is then easy for you to take the first step in the cost-benefit analysis you wish to do by estimating the costs. The proposal is that a court order demanding disclosure, which are already routinely issued, can not be stalled indefinitely through the application of lawyers. So, all you need to do is identify the balance of cases where disclosure is fought and then see how often the disclosure results in illegitimate harm to the disclosed party versus how often it results in the discovery of legitimate harms caused by the disclosed party.

The disclosures in the Panama Papers alone resulted in 1.2 billion dollars of recovered taxes [1]. So you can compare the estimated costs against the benefits of preventing a singular incident for now. If you can present credible evidence that the harms of requiring disclosure on legitimate court orders is in excess of that, then a broader analysis of the problem size if warranted.

I'm kind of a novice on this, but what happens to the heated up water? I assume returning it to the bottom of the lake could have effects on local wildlife, so is it returned to the top? That seems like it'd have the same effect but take longer since the hot water will remain toward the top. Or is it assumed to be fine since when winter rolls around the heat will be dissipated then.

I'm mainly curious about the result to the native wildlife since practice engineering's videos on the dams and how fish are handled.
Isn’t it more likely that the exorbitant cost of childcare is much more a function of Baumol’s cost disease than parking minimums or land use requirements? It’s hard to bring any kind of desirable productivity revolution to childcare - it’s inherently a pretty one-to-few proposition at the end of the day, and I’m not sure how you get away from the labor intensivity of it all.

Absent subsidies (whether provided by a government, employer, religious order or other specific community), I’m honestly not sure how a safe, sensible, desirable product can be delivered at what anyone would consider a reasonable cost.

I grant that there is probably some room in there for in-home child care that probably more closely resembles a hobby business than a true commercial endeavor - I can see zoning type issues being completely determinative on whether child care at this scale is feasible or not. But I also don’t think those are the types of arrangements that the author of TFA was really describing.
Actually they are very happy to live with their Arab neighbors, and even invite them into their homes and lives.

You can find plenty of pro Palestinian speeches and sentiments from those who chose to live in the South, who were then murdered by the people they supported.

Many (most?) of those who committed the attacks on Oct. 7 were working in Israeli houses and factories, and they proceeded to kill their employers and co-workers.

Unfortunately, the news is selectively reported, and nonsense from Hamas is reported as truths, and there is a HEAVY slant against Israel. But no need to parrot stuff like this which is openly against the facts.
1. Is someone who points out black populations have a 10X to 30X higher crime rate inherently an immoral racist?

2. Is it immoral and racist to point out that because of (1) any policy which aims to reduce or prevent crime in a neighborhood, will therefore have 10X to 30x the impact on black people?

3. Is it immoral and racist to advocate for any policy which will reduce or prevent crime in a neighborhood? If not, which policies do you support?

Imagine using a program that can only allocate 4GB of ram because it has 32-bit address space. There's no benefit to that limitation, it's an arbitrary limit imposed by the trades-offs made in the 80s. It just means that someone will need to build another layer to their program to chunk their input data then recombine the output. It's a needless waste of resources.

The benefit of not having a limitation is that the real limits scale with compute power. If you need more than 4GB of memory to process something, add more memory to the computer.

Yes. 3 years before Opera. Netscape shipped Communicator in June of '97, the suite that added email and calendaring to browsing, based in part on their Collabra groupware acquisition in '96. Opera released v4 in June of 2000, three years later, with its email client.
You refer to the economy as strong. Relatively it's not. Also depends on what you mean by economy. There are parts of the economy which are worse than before, and those are affecting the job market. I'm not saying AI hiring is the only reason, the relatively bad economy is another reason. As for AI there were articles that mentioned exactly that, companies are ending other projects to invest in AI. I'm sorry I don't have a reference handy for you, maybe you can search for them. Since you don't seem to have understanding of what economy is and generalizing it, which is clearly a fallacy, I suggest you are either being arrogant or ignorant to console yourself
Well, there's only so much time I can spend on the internet convincing someone with an oversized sense of their own success that they're doing it wrong, so I'll try to be brief and I wish you all the best after this interaction.

If we're being frank, if the idea of picking a lane is doing something well, by choosing both lanes, you've actually chosen neither lane.

1. You are clearly not independently wealthy enough to have to never work again; otherwise you wouldn't care about "subsidized health insurance / contribute to an HSA" (both of which are things that the independently wealthy couldn't care less about), so either you are a) making up achieving outsized exits as a financier and you never actually achieved it, or b) worse, you made the outsized exit, became independently wealthy, and due to fiscal irresponsibility lost your position of independent wealth

2. You clearly aren't in a stable career position at a company with a long tenure steadily moving upward seeing as how you ended up having to take a job at a company with incompetent leadership that ultimately ended up firing you for making ultimately a reasonable suggestion

If anything, I think you have proven my point which is that you very much do need to pick a lane. There's the old saying that "startups don't die of starvation, they die because of indigestion" owing to the common and real risk of overly broad scope and dilution of focus. I think that same warning applies equally to careers -- your dilution in long-term focus may have played a role in you not achieving the success you might otherwise have been able to achieve. But I can't tell you for sure. Only you will be able to figure out that answer. And in order to figure out that answer, you have to be willing to be honest with yourself.

Best of luck.

Shareholders are the owners, not executives.
In theory you can use any power source - hydroelectric, geothermal, nuclear, wind - but the benefit to solar is that you can fully utilize it when the sun is shining and store the output (compressed natural gas) for storage, transportation and use off-hours.

You could also technically use this as a grid-battery, taking in excess grid energy when it is cheap and converting it into natural gas that can be run back through a gas peaking plant that spins up to meet peak demand. You could also look into SOFC fuel cell plants [1] to convert the stored natural gas into electricity at 60% and heat at 30% (the heat is high temperature which is good for cogeneration or as a direct heat source). There would need to be some very large spreads in margin on those to make up for the fact you're likely double-dipping on inefficiencies when going from electricity in -> natgas production -> storage -> generation -> electricity out.

On that same note though - in some free and open energy markets it is not unheard of to buy at <$10/MWh during excess production periods and sell at >$200/MWh at peak on-demand - plenty of margin for arbitrage there - as the tesla megapack facilities have demonstrated in Australia. In comparison a 4MWh megapack facility (2MW in/2MW out) is priced at $1.9M before installation [2]
