It isn't that hard to make an agar plate and put it under a lamp for a few days. Why you try a swab of crotch juice and a swab of face juice and incubate them each and see what you get?
This is what nature keeps doing for billions of years - we have constant background radiation, some stuff from sun which still gets through, and lets not forget about everybody's favorite cosmic rays. The most energetic particle we detected had energy of baseball ball thrown at 100kmh. I'd say this is the main fuel of whole evolution of life on Earth, on top of drastically changing environments.

You can't build 100% radiation-shielded environment, anywhere. Neutrinos just don't care that much about obstacles (and interact very weakly with target, but they still do in small numbers, that's how we detect them).
I definitely think the complete lack of ergonomics is a much worse sin than the charging port.
Yes, the worldwide scope is the problem here. I could envision a drop-down where users could choose the desired scope, like, for example: LAN, City, Country, Continent, and World. The wider the scope, the more chars used for the hash ID.
I wanted to start with duckdb since it's really an incredibly powerful tool that people should try out. The performance you can get on analytical queries running on your local compute is just really impressive. And with snowflake streams you can actually stream live data into it without changing anything about your existing data. On why not other databases, I wanted to focus on OLAP to start as there are already other great tools like DLT that help you load data from OLTP sources like postgres and mysql to OLAP sources already, but OLAP to OLAP is pretty rare.

Have you run into a use case for streaming data between data warehouses yourself yet? If so which warehouses?
> I'm under the impression an executable binary shouldn't be easily read to find such credentials

If the computer can read it, and you have full control of the computer, then you can read it. Physical access is game over. Even if they encrypt it and put the encryption key in an HSM (probably not possible on an arbitrary client's machine anyway), at some point the game is going to decrypt that string and put it in memory. Memory that you can read.

> a two-party system inevitably leads to extreme polarization

There isn't much difference in practice. German politics is extremely polarized, far moreso than in the UK where there's FPTP. Look at how the older political parties have reacted to the rise of the AfD and you won't see any of the famed coalition building that's supposed to make PR fair and reasonable. Instead you see bizarre dysfunctional coalitions, lots of illegal suppression tactics and a level of hysterical rhetoric that makes the USA look relaxed by comparison. Nor is it different elsewhere in Europe.

The left reacts badly to conservative pushback in any system, any country, any culture. These things transcend national boundaries. It doesn't matter what voting system you use. The results are always the same.
The Python 2 to 3 thing was worse when they started: people who made the mistake of falling for the rhetoric to port to python3 early on had a much more difficult time as basic things like u"" were broken under an argument that they weren't needed anymore; over time the porting process got better as they acquiesced and unified the two languages a bit.

I thereby kind of feel like this might have happened in the other direction: a ton of developers seem to have become demoralized by python3 and threw up their hands in defeat of "backwards compatibility isn't going to happen anyway", and now we live in a world with frozen dependencies running in virtual environments tied to specific copies of Python.

New power plants are likely at least a decade away. The current AI boom will have to be powered by natural gas or by reactivating old nuclear plants. Perhaps this will incentivize companies like Google, Apple, and Amazon to promote natural gas as the comparatively clean and extremely cheap (amazing) power source that it is.
No one is freeing up resources for a felony prosecutor by eliminating Driving Under Suspended cases, handled by a completely different prosecutor in a completely different courtroom.

No one's saving a felony docket by eliminating the need to prosecute niche crimes like aviation fraud or abortion or unlawful dog breeding.

No one can undisputedly connect bail reform with an increase or a decrease in crime or pre-trial recidivism.

No one can glean statistics from major cities only, conclude they are not harmful, and then imply reform must not be harmful for rural areas. There are usually more prosecutors elected in rural areas than populated ones.

Crime is tightly situational, geographically tied, culturally bound. Policies therefore must also be situational, geographically tied, and culturally bound. Some things might be universally bad. Those should be excised everywhere. But things that are not universally good should not be endorsed universally. I got the impression here that the writer wants some reforms to be endorsed universally.
Semiconductor Fabs have come a long way. The Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory opened for business in a small commercial lot in Mountain View in 1956. https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Shockley-Semiconductor-L...

There was lots of older or used equipment Universities could buy before Fabs started being millions of square feet with hundreds of million dollar pieces of equipment.
Very fascinating results though! The sharding approach is quite a simple way of doing more fine-grained locking, making sure that writes don't block all the reads. Pretty cool to see that it actually pays off even with the overhead of Tokie scheduling everything!

There might be some fairness concerns here? Since we're polling the lock (instead of adding ourselves to a queue) it could be the case that some requests are constantly "too late" to acquire it? Could be interesting to see the min/max/median/P99 of the requests themselves. It seems that Bustle only reports the average latency[1] which honestly doesn't tell us much more than the throughputs.

Earlier you said

> And poorer people are automatically exempted from tax since the power law formula parameters be set to slowly ramp up

I too am very confused on how you envision this sales tax working where it's variable in some way that poor people don't get the tax but rich people do so I understand why OP is asking about asset tracking. If you're talking about it as a tax that increases the more you spend you've still got problems of hiding how much I'm spending through various legal entities. It also has a macro economic problem, at least how the consumer economy is structured, that could slow down the gears of business until society realigns (if it does) because people will be incentivized to consume less. You've got alternative models where you go after specific products and tax more for conspicuous consumption like yachts but that feels like it has all the inefficiencies of central planning a market.

> I'd like to see this death rate for the subset of the SA population that matches migrant demographics, ex: age and gender. Then we can see what the comparable death rates are for healthy young men.

I don't disagree with your first point. Yes, I would like to see these breakdowns. However, OP's point was that other factors like natural death can account for some of these numbers. This point is reasonable and data seems to suggest that it is statistically probable.

> educate yourself about the Kafala[0] system

Is this an abusive system? Yes. Does it create opportunities for slavery? Yes. Can 21K deaths be attributed so slavery? No evidence. This is not splitting hairs, this is a reasonable approach to digging into details when dealing with complex issues.

Any plans for trainium ?
There is a wide gap between TSMC's cutting edge processes and what a university lab would produce. The features on the microchip go from a couple nanometers (TMSC cutting edge) to tens of micrometers (1000-10000x larger). Large size means less transistors, but million instead of billions still is plenty for large complex chips, just not cutting edge.
The wide boulevards and huge open spaces in some of the touristy areas can feel empty even when there are a normal number of people there. Common problem with planned cities, they have way too much empty space and feel abandoned even when not.
The most fun thing about this demo (and the demo is 100% worth trying out, you'll need to use Chrome for it) is that it shows how there's no persistent memory at all. If you get bored of the area you are in, look straight up at the sky and look down again. If you see something interesting - like a fence post - keep that in your field of vision and you should start to see more similarly interesting things.

How to become a more effective engineer
A while back "deformable terrain" and walls you could destroy and such was a big buzzword in games. AFAICT, though, it's rarely been used in truly open-ended ways, vs specific "there are things behind some of these walls, or buried under this mound" type of stuff. Generally there are still certain types of environment objects that let you do certain things, and many more that let you do nothing.

Generative AI could be an interesting approach to the issue of solving the "what happens if you destroy [any particular element]" aspect.

For a lot of games you'd probably still want to have specific destinations set in the map; maybe now it's just much more open-ended as far as how you get there (like some of the ascend-through-matter stuff in Tears of the Kingdom, but more open-ended in a "just start trying to dig anywhere" way and you use gen AI to figure out exactly how much dirt/other material will get piled up for digging in a specific place?).

Or for games with more of an emphasis on random drops, or random maps, you could leverage some of the randomness more directly. Could be really cool for a roguelike.

I don't think so. Rich people buy vastly more. Not just food, shelter and entertainment but also real estate, entire companies and financial instruments. They'd end up paying vastly more tax.
That's at the very highest end. As the element size gets larger there are more fabs capable of doing the work. The equipment gets slightly more standardized, etc., although ASML (the Dutch company) is still the big dog in the equipment space.

But even running a small-scale fab spitting out 7400 series chips and 555's is still pretty serious business; you need chemical engineers and material scientists as well as electrical engineers and software engineers (and multidisciplinary versions of those people) to keep things running at all. And nobody can do this stuff out of college -- everyone has extensive apprenticeships and practical experience working in other fabs because so much of the process is knowhow rather than technical specifications.
This is patently false. The USA does not have any regulations around equal parental leave for example. Very few companies allow employees to split their leave however they want, like some other countries do.
From 3 days playing around it, I couldn’t find a way to use selenium or playwright in the browser.

What I did though is having a loop to send instructions from playwright.

For instance, I will open the browser, and then enter a loop to await for instructions (can be from event such as redis) to execute again in the same browser. But still, it’s based on the session instantiated by playwright.
Two factors are responsible for the bulk ens*ttification of the markets: any barriers to competition and information asymmetry between purchaser and seller. Taxation is not a factor unless it's done with too much micromanagement that incentivises doing weird things to your product/service to avoid higher tax.

VAT is already a purchase tax, just collected from the end consumer. You could just raise VAT and do away with income tax. But since the burden is on the end consumer only (not along the chain, because of 100% deductions) it would have to be raised very high. And VAT is with us long enough that many ways to exploit its edge cases were discovered. General purchase tax collected at all steps of production chain could spread the tax burden away from final consumer to the people who exploit them (aka businessmen) thus fulfilling the role that income tax currently fulfills. It would also have way less edge cases and could replace things like import tariffs and social security fees, excise taxes and many more.

> It'd be risky because I have no idea if I'm actually going to make money or not.

That's the inherent risk of business. You have to decide if it's worth it regardless of whether a server costs you $x or $x+10% purchase tax.

> European states set very draconian rules like 1% daily interest on unpaid taxes - no way I'm taking this shit on.

You would never have unpaid taxes because they'd be automatically collected by the bank at the moment of purchase. If you don't have money to pay for purchase tax you don't have money to make a purchase.

> Just do the same thing but with VAT...

We could do some of that if we reduced VAT deductions from 100%. But it would be worse because VAT is very limited and thus has a lot of edge cases where it comes in contact in systems outside it's domain. Those can be used to get away from paying by doing superfluous operations.
The union can provide pension services internally.

The only reason why a pension is a preferred bargaining tactic is because it creates a strong principle-agent problem for the business, where management are more than happy using tomorrow’s income to pay for today’s problems.
I think there are two things that change. One is that Amazon would be controlling output scheduling of part of the the power station rather than the grid operator. The other is that this would be behind the meter for Amazon like rooftop solar, so would be accounted for differently in the annual report.

Care about WebViews
I think being able to format a page just for printing, esp. with HTML/CSS itself is a killer feature and is gigantically underestimated.

I understand that printers are Satan incarnate and runs on concentrated sins of cost cutting engineers, and nobody has time to read that 1.5 page article someone wrote by giving proper effort, but scientific articles, books, nice blog posts we want to delve in, etc. are real and regardless on the substance they run on, printers are real things and they are used nevertheless.

The tendency to assume that everyone is running on high end laptops and cutting edge, network connected tablets is making me angry sometimes. Implementing features like this will make many programmers' life easier who need to be able to generate and print reports from their web applications, too.

It's not only about books and shrewd people who want to print a blog post and study/read that on a table or wherever.
Well put. I think building software systems can be done with proper engineering techniques. But more often, many businesses don't want that! I've seen some go out of their way to chose technology and processes that eliminate any need for making engineering decisions. The goal is often to "standardize" and explicitly eliminate all novelty. And then they wonder why innovation is stalled.

It's way easier to tell your developers to sprint every two weeks in some random direction, because at least then the business has control. If they were to use the scientific method, the direction would be chosen based on experiments and empirical data that they don't understand or control. Can't have that.

I kind of like the "thin" stdlib approach tbh.

Rather than having 3-5 ways to do a say a GUI from the stdlib you have 0 and instead you can pick a dependency that suits your way.

That then boils down to even data structures, there's a bunch of trade-offs to be made where one is better than the other and if Rust had to maintain 30 different types of maps for each use case that seems like a waste of their time. Push that work off to the people that need those maps.
That's not necessarily a problem. Or at least it's a solvable problem.

A surface greenhouse would be insulated. It would still lose heat to thermal radiation. I'm not sure of the rate. It may be manageable because when the Sun is shining, not only are you heating up but the plants themselves generate heat (ie it's a greenhouse).

This may be another reason why you're better off growing plants underground because it lessens the temperature extremes.

Otherwise things can be heated with waste heat or directly if required.
VAT with 100% deduction places entire tax burden on the end consumer. Income tax aims to extract additional tax from entities that extract money from consumers for investors.

VAT could do a lot of the same things that I'm proposing (if the deductions weren't 100%) but is limited in scope. And because of that it has a lot of interfaces to other domains like real estate, import, labor, financial intruments. Interfaces that can be exploited to avoid paying taxes.

General purchase tax could replace all taxes and fees transfered from the markets to governments (and effectively goverment managed buckets like social security or public healthcare).

Taxes have this strong moral objection that they are punishment for creating value. Purchase tax could help with that by ostensibly being punishment for using up value not for creating value. It might also compose well with transition to stable state economy that will have to replace old economy based on unbounded growth.
