It’s frustrating. The early LED bulbs I bought are still working; anything more recent has already been replaced more than once. In my fantasy world there is a government that actually advocates for consumers…
This is a flat rate dividend, which at the current price equates to a 0.1% dividend. It seems more likely that it's just designed to satisfy a checkmark on the portfolio investor prospectus. This equates to ~$2B payout, while they simultaneously announced another $70B stock buy back.

Overall Google announced they spent $12B on server and datacenters capex in Q1. This is up 100% y/y. Also this spending level will continue for at least the rest of the year, that's $50B in capex spending in a single year... But people are going to focus on a $0.20 dividend I suppose.

It's difficult to say that they're not continuing to invest in future tech. Focusing on the dividend announcement is a nothing burger (for now)
I just felt a jolt of anxiety reading this. I feel physically unwell when in a room lit by 6000K "daylight" bulbs, and even imagining being in such a room gives me a twinge.

I don't know how I respond to these "blue pump" LEDs; are they currently on the market? How would I know whether a given bulb uses this technology? Maybe I'm OK with them (fingers crossed).

The difference between LED bulbs cannot possibly be a major contributor to CO2 emmissions. If they're going to be draconian about this, look forward to "15 minute cities" where you're not allowed to drive outside of your zone, since that would save orders of magnitude more energy.
I assume they’re trying to say “let more”, which would be a pretty depressing read as it’s a very “ai maximalist” “gosh I hope everyone loses their job and the world magically adapts and we all live in a work-free paradise”, which I think has about as much likelihood as me winning the lottery tomorrow…

I agree, since the pogrom on October 7th in Israel, I've been able to get translations from all the gory telegram channels from the respective sides of the conflict, and the superimposed foreign words on both the captions as well as images and videos. let alone the comments.

a lot of it turns out to be slang, and I've been able to ask ChatGPT for nuanced context on how its used, immediately.

I've never been able to do that in history. Duolingo would never do that, formal education wouldn't either. A dictionary wouldn't. Google translate couldn't.

Yeah, the letter didn't say whether they'd tried to sell the business, or find other management for it. That's definitely a question that comes to mind.

(There might not be buyers, the business might not be sustainable, the company space might be built into their home, they might have to sell commercial real estate for medical expenses or to get their estate in order, etc. Or maybe they're preoccupied with personal matters, and not up to investigating alternatives.)

There's a bit of vicarious schadenfreude that Spanfeller's tactics were so horrific that nearly all the staff of G/O media from before 2020 abandoned ship and went on to create sites that are more successful than what the staff escaped from.

I understand the issue at the heart, but this article does a horrible job of explaining any sort of practical realities of this new rule.

- "blue-pump" LEDs are not defined.

- Specific examples of things sold today that would not be allowed to be sold in the future would be helpful.

- A chart showing a 5000K bulb having what appears to be a spike in the blue spectrum greater than a 3000K bulb (though how could we be sure, since the axes aren't labeled) implies that certain color temperatures are worse, but is this always the case, or is it the consequence of a particular product sampled?

I'm walking away from this wondering if I won't be able to buy 3000K LEDs anymore, or if things like dim-to-warm will be banned. I hope not, but I just cannot tell from this woefully lacking write up.
A quick Google search indicates that 51% of the writers in the US are women. There is no discrimination there.

just wanted to make sure I understand correctly, upon authentication you just bake everything a user has access to (all policies) into a claims part of the JWT?

how it would look like for example if a user has access to 10000 objects: are all of them baked into a token as claims?
It's different for everyone. For me, ten years ago, I got interested in quadcopters back when making them yourself was the norm. There is a lot of radio involved, especially at long range. That sent me down the rabbit hole.

2. Don't build emulators for current gen consoles (or if you do, do it in secret). Piracy argument is much weaker if the hardware is no longer being sold.

3. Don't link any fan creations to your real or existing identities. Use throwaway accounts and brand new pseudonyms.

I answer every call, no matter what the caller ID says. In the last decade, I've probably gotten maybe 10 total spam/robo/telemarketer calls or texts. Strangers like recruiters or doctors never seem to have trouble calling me. My cell phone is posted all over the internet. On my website and my resume. I put it into probably a thousand forms online. What am I doing different? I've had the same Verizon plan and Google voice number the whole time. Are old numbers immune to this problem? Is the Google Voice-Verizon-Samsung combo of built-in spam filters just wildly efficient? I keep hearing about spam calls being an epidemic - are people just rawdogging their cell plan without turning on any spam filtering?

Congress is dysfunctional because there is a populist political movement that does not believe in governing. Eventually, that fever will break. (Or they will succeed and we will lose the republic, in which case discussions about the efficacy of Congress become moot.)
I assume there's a bit of outdated information in that article, or the annoyingly common issue of journalists misunderstanding actual research results - the claimed efficiency of ~14% for LEDs seems much too low, the latest LED lamps produce 10-15x the light per watt as incandescent, not the 3x claimed there.

And that's already including the power supply, which is where the majority of the loss is rather than the LEDs themselves, which generally are 80-90% efficient. But that's mostly a cost limit rather than a technology issue, as there are known better designs, just more expensive to implement.

Sure the cost is (maybe) 10x. But the lifespan is 20x+ what an incandescent would be. And it's on-the-fly configurable to preference.

The marginal cost of intelligent/smart bulbs is 3x or what not. Given how long they last, for many folks it seems like an easy win. The adaptability is great. Yeah you can eskew it & just do a thing, & yeah many consumers just won't get there, but damn, it's so nice having per-bupb adjustable brightness & color temp everywhere. For pretty minimal addition vs where we had been.

It's a bit sad to make such a decision when you're almost 80. Realizing the importance of time with your family so late gives you so little time.

A few years ago, I read about the regrets of dying people, and many of them related to spending more time with their families... That was one of the reasons I decided to close my company last year (after 20 years; I'm 45 now) and start over, working with just a few customers, making less money but having more time. Now, I only work part-time to have the chance to spend more time with my loved ones.
