I think it's just the simplest (also default*) way of measuring, which doesn't mean it most correct or accurate. If PRC makes 5 cars @10k for every 1 US car @50k , and each PRC car is 80% as good, which metric do you use to measure gross manufacturing. Most people would say the guy that makes 5 cars. They might say the guy that makes 1 car if the 5 car guy's cars were 10% as good. What if its 3 cars that is just as good as 1 car charged at 3x. Across the board you have made in America stuff that's a little to a lot better (or worse) than PRC stuff, but cost 2-5x more.

* by default I mean, these metrics/calculations are downstream of national accounting methods, i.e. most of world standardized on UN SNA which measures "value" as in $$$ vs something like (deprecated) soviet material production system (MPS) that measures physical material widgets produced.

One proxy metric is PRC container throughput of her ports last year was ~300 million TEU vs US is about ~60 million TEU (with slightly higher ratio of empty containers).
Major channels are UHF and it’s still a great way to watch national television (election coverage in recent past) and sports (particularly NFL) without having a cable connection.

We should be pro OTA services not against.
It’s the thought that counts, right?
If he did any energy consuming processes to aide farming such as drying wheat to harden it and increase market price, or had greenhouses which needed heating, or a dairy adjunct which needed cooling, then his rate of return as cost avoidance and improved profit for the Ag. side could be a lot bigger than the 1c/kW to sell power back.

Basically, heat energy is time shifting be it coolth or warmth. And heat and cool cost money.

Farmers in Oz are using droids to spray and weed, so battery charging could be another cost avoidance.

Or cold store for produce to sell at advantageous prices in winter. Basic arbitrage gains to permit the farm yield to maximise against predictable price variance.

Colorado has rich people. Grow microherbs out of season.

Farms often have a lot of less viable land for primary production. They could deploy flow batteries which have size costs, but massive mwh return and scale very nicely and last a very long time. Even just water pumping shifts energy into storage. Farms are giant machines for converting sunlight and water into produce anyway, this is a good fit: it's the same energy source, shifted.

> a way for devs and sysadmins to talk about deploys together

My take on this as someone who has 14 years of dev and 7 years of ops experience: DevOps is a flawed concept.

The problem never was the lack of communication between the devs and sysadmins, it’s just a symptom.

The root cause is that the management puts pressure on the devs to innovate and deliver as fast as possible, and puts pressure on the ops to ensure that the system is stable, reliable, scalable, it has a 99.95% uptime and any issues will be solved by the on-call.

So these two groups have conflicting interests and when this leads to conflicts and arguments the conclusion is that they just don’t want to collaborate/communicate.

There are many departments at a company that have conflicting interests and can interfere with each other. If DevOps was a real thing there would be a need for LegalOps, DevSales, DevProduct, HROps, etc..
Damn! I built the app on the same machine. thank you so much!
Some manufacturing is down. Look at the state of sophisticated shipbuilding.

The US Navy has stated numerous times that the US essentially has minimal capacity. Maintenance and construction are years behind schedule. It isn't about funding. 40% of attack submarines aren't fit for service or deployable. The new Columbia class submarine will use a new steam turbine. Northrup Grumman was selected for the manufacture of the steam turbine in 2014. It isn't ready yet.

Sophisticated manufacturing is in crisis in the US. It's the reason that the US bigfooted France in the AUKUS submarine deal. To revive a failing industry.

These are interesting tests due to there are restrictions on sourcing of parts and personnel for a project.

Why did you choose that particular payment processor?
can that mirrorless camera make a phone call, send a text, edit the photo it takes, browse the web, upload the picture to an app, run other apps, or any of the many many other things a phone does that a single function dedicated camera cannot?

what trade offs do you accept for that mirrorless camera to do all of the same functionality while still taking an above decent looking image for the vast majority of its users without all of those fancy lenses fixed or interchangeable? As the saying goes, the best came you have is the one you have on you. Only snooty photo/video types care about your comment. Most videos used by phone people are only ever viewed on that device or other similar devices of others viewing it on whatever app they shared it. To even consider them comparable is just not an honest take in the slightest. I say this as someone with several DSLRs and a couple of cinema camera bodies in the next room.
It's the same for wine drinkers.
It's called a "benefit of the doubt"...
PBA?
Why would they need to grow? If the revenues exceed the costs that's a viable business model right there.
Solar panels are giant photodiodes. Heavy metal doped silicon. a-Si something or SiGe or GaAs or InP or whatever pairs and trios of toxic metals. Generally more toxic more electronically open to trade therefore broader spectral response and better performance. You can't do, say, Al substrate PtFeCu semiconductor, that's not going to make sense.

They're not merely similar to a photodiode, but using giant photodiodes as batteries is literally the idea.

There are some versions based on toxic organic chemicals in place of toxic inorganic elements, few and far between, and I guess the technology will eventually move onto engineered nanoparticles later in this century after they've cracked fusion, but that hasn't happened yet.
And they cost at least double, and rarely all the time with you.
I am a bit annoyed by the "AI/processing" part of cellphones, I would love to get back to camera but I can't justify it anymore.
I wonder a what scale this very interesting approach start yielding more value than cost.
What I mean is: is it a faang only as so many things they seeded or is it actually relevant at a non-faang scale?

I tend to be invest much on risk avoidance, so this is appealing to me, but I know that my risk avoidance tendency is rarely shared by my peers/stakeholders.
I know that you sincerely believe in mixing up everyone in the same bag, but there are several bags. USA is no more successful than Europe at mixing immigrants. But USA has chosen for a long time that its immigrants were Irish, for example. And was mostly unsuccessful at integrating Mexicans, a lot of whom aren’t even given documents. What’s the difference between an Irish immigrant and an Algerian immigrant? I’ll leave it to your imagination but you can take all of the criminals from one population, the worst ones, ship them on a desert island, and you get Australia. While you can take all the best people from the other, give them wealth and infrastructure, schools and culture, and not have a single one that contributes to the home country.

USA has been successful at integrating the first kind, and the second one has just performed a nice illustration of their skills in New Orleans, like they do in my home country every year, and now every month, and one even said yesterday “We will rape all French people.”
Music has been a huge discovery and joy for me too.

I left the tech world seven years ago after a "career" of five years, not super wealthy but having enough saved/invested that I could live frugally and it would grow slowly on its own. I've been doing a wide variety of things mostly outdoors, but these last three years I've been learning to play the fiddle and it's took over my life in a good way.

It's been a rich seven years and aside from occasional brief moments of doubt, I'm very glad I did what I did. I have had time to focus on:

- health (most awesomely, my eyesight has improved dramatically)

- family and community and relationships

- simply being in the real world (nature)

- learning about and changing my behaviors/habits to be more who I want to be

- passions - particularly trying to protect habitats from being destroyed, which is very rewarding even if they might still get destroyed someday, they've gotten to exist for years longer than they would have.

- each thing that's caught my curiosity: gardening, forest conservation, foraging and cooking, building and carpentry, learning various skills and now most of all, the fiddle.

I won't say it's all been easy. I've wrestled with a lot of questioning of what matters and what to give myself to - because I have the choice and there is no obvious default path anymore. But I always feel my way into an answer - even if it has shifted around over time.

I don't have kids, I want to, and I think about how I'll find someone to do that with. I bet it will happen, I live in a rural area though so I pretty much have to travel to meet someone. Meanwhile, I have a sweet nephew and I get to spend a lot of time actively being his uncle.

The world is far more interesting and wild and beautiful than I think most of us have been led to believe.
We could reclassify it as an amateur band so that a handful of other boomers can do everything except actually communicate anything meaningful aside from their call signs to each other.
One thing to note is PRC is the only country in the world whose manufacturing sector has every industrial category classified by the United Nations.
> Easy way to tell models apart.

is that the reason or just a convenient side effect? the last two models had to move the lenses around slightly so they could capture whatever they called their stereo AR/VR type acquisition so the pupil distances worked correctly. after that, there's only so many ways to arrange 2 or 3 lenses.
science ftw
Unless you want to live in a country that has no private sector (i.e. the state controls all media, all manufacturing, all stores and markets, all restaurants, all transportation, ... ), be careful what you wish for.
We all run WiFi networks for our home ... Not our phone provider... This is more of a steamroller to make us pay for what we now get for free....
Very interesting build. Safety-wise it seems fine with the blatant exception of welding the steering column. A steering column could see very high torque, especially if e.g. power steering fails. The author even alludes to this twice but does not address it directly.
Heh, your edit (no drama)

> I didn't realise the hunt for the pipe had ended.

Well the hunt for the actual source pipe ended some time back, the thinking being that most if not all of it had been ground down and cast into the giant bank that was the mine .. but hunting for pipes in general never ends - it's an ongoing part of any and all magenetic surveys to flag the distinct peaks of an magnetically aligned Kimberlite pipe.

( ^^ left in for posterity, clearly at odds with your article :-) )

Now reading your article (thanks) I find my recollection of the geology to be at odds with the article .. I was under the foggy recollection that the mine was alluvial - of diamonds that had been broken away from a pipe and banked up in gravel .. the article talks as if it was directly mining an intact pipe .. nope, correction, mining the alluvial deposits from a named pipe ..

Okay - they mined part of the remaining pipe (the remainder wasn't "economically viable) and the gravel deposits downstream.

That makes sense .. I must have an old memory of a missing diamond pipe somewhere else.

And yes, most diamonds found would be industrial grade and not gem grade.

FWiW many diamond pipes are only good for 40 or fifty years if that - what tends to be lost in the details is that some areas of the world have a high number of diamond pipes in close proximity and some mines clean up a few at once or one after the other.

Thanks again for the article, skimmed for now, bookmarked for 'ron.

Gene Sweepstake (Genesweep) (2000)
Ewan Birney opened a betting book at a meeting of the Human Genome Project in 2000. For a dollar a bet, he asked the world’s top geneticists to predict how many genes a human has. The prize for the nearest guess was the pot and a bottle of scotch. The winning bet, by Lee Rowen, was 25,947. The real number is around 20,000.

> liberal democracies would still want to contain the power of the PRC (and the cult of Xi Jinping)

I am not Chinese but I still find this comment hilariously offensive and tone-deaf. I can say almost without a doubt that the US has a "tremendous" issue with cult-of-personality right now. But I don't see Chinese or other countries attacking or trying to "contain" this.

The US is still treated as a nation, unified in its people and leaders, by even its adversaries. But when Americans deal with other countries, there is a tendency to say things to the effect of: "the people are fine, it is the X that must be suppressed", ignoring that this X is inherently or directly connected to people of this nation.
I specifically said "silly concepts that assume the mind could move matter around without emitting radiation". You responded that the mind can move objects, mostly with the use of hands, and I pointed out that the use of hands is a form of radiation, so that was perfectly in line with my original line.

As to the other question, it's irrelevant to this discussion (but no, I don't draw such a distinction, except insofar as recognizing that the neurons in the arm will not normally fire to create a movement in the arm without first receiving a signal from neurons in the spine or brain, in healthy people).

Ultimately my point is that the only way a person can influence the broader world is by emitting radiation in measurable ways, and the only way they can find out about the broader world is by receiving radiation. So a person in an EM shielded, inertially dampened, sound proofed room with no one to talk to can't view the city of Jerusalem from above, regardless of how hard they concentrate or believe they can.

I'm looking at getting a few panels installed as well, as my roof needs re-shingled and the bundled price seems like a good deal. What company did you go with? Are they still operating? Ive heard thats an issue with some of the smaller/local installers
I feel like this is a bad-faith response, no offense. A person explained why cable TV is a bad deal and wished there was a “decent” alternative. Clearly, “decent” is being used from the user perspective, not the effect it has on society.

From the user perspective Spotify is indeed “decent”.
On-demand, unlimited access to essentially all music for a flat fee.

But switching the definition of “decent” to what its effects on society are seems unfair. It’s not like the price gouging cable business model has avoided race to the bottom reality TV either.
It does seem like your comment for the most part supports the GP comment, other than the disagreement about the definition of pain.

For what it's worth, I see the word pain as he used it to be a better fit than the word fear, as in phobia.
It's crazy how much of the 2010s was both companies and consumers ignoring this, like Wile E. Coyote not noticing he's already off the edge of the cliff.
> Well the Guinea worm does force humans to get into water to complete the parasitic cycle.

How they do this [0]:

- Humans typically get infected when they unintentionally ingest copepods while drinking water.

- During digestion the copepods die, releasing the D. medinensis larvae. The larvae exit the digestive tract by penetrating the stomach and intestine

- About a year after the initial infection, the female migrates to the skin, forms an ulcer, and emerges.

- Upon reaching its destination, the worm forms a fluid-filled blister under the skin.[5] Over 1–3 days, the blister grows larger, begins to cause severe burning pain

- When the wound touches fresh water, the female spews a milky-white substance containing hundreds of thousands of larvae into the water.

- The larvae are eaten by copepods, and after two to three weeks of development, they are infectious to humans again.

If homes are the analogy we want to use, then we should remember that some places have much stronger laws to protect renters, some places have housing co-ops, and some places have government-owned or government-subsidized housing.

It depends. We can say that China’s industrial policies are a kind of protectionism as well in that they are willing to pay for extra cost for domestic “national red supply chain independence” rather than relying on the “comparatively advantageous” western vendors. And they did get excellent results. Note that industrial independence is exactly the opposite of free trade and that has been a long sought national goal by China.

Regarding tariffs on China exports, the relatively fortunate position for the US is that the biggest components in consumer inflation index such as food, housing and energy are all either largely domestic produced or not dominated by China, which gives more room for the US to react. But the tariff could still harm the gross margin of the international enterprises and even SMBs, who are facing the immediate pressure of adjustment during the trade war.
The example here seems to do with sizing appropriately the requirements of applications, which enables you to schedule more applications per machine, driving down costs.

This is useful for any company larger than say 10 people.

In general this is difficult to do, because there is more at play than memory, CPU and disk usage, especially if you have certain performance requirements.

I find that what's in Kubernetes (a Google product) pretty much useless, but maybe it works for web tech.

Star Trek actually did an episode which addresses such a parasite. The episode was one of several episodes banned in a few places, I think for showing how the uninfected humans had to eradicate the infected humans violently.

System doesn't give you 1 nanosecond precision really. It varies by OS+hardware, from what I remember you may get like 641 nanosecond precision. The number is nanoseconds, yes, but you never get "next nanosecond". In other words, every number you get has the same mod 641. In other systems you may get like 40,000 precision or even worse on SPECTRE/MELTDOWN-protected systems.

this is amazing and filled with facts that i wish everyone arguing the point that china cant overtake U.S. in economy or world superpowers would read. The facts are there, there is not much hiding around the corner, all of the true indication is in front of us. Yes. the article states U.S. still holds the title for world superpower by military size and capabilities. That's not to say that china cant catch up in no time with U.S. military. That's if they decide to do so. i would ask does the Chinese republic need to invest heavy in this sector in order to grow? Clearly not from the facts. in fact that's the very same thing we should have been doing all along.The U.S. has spent enormous amount of capital to fund wars and foreign relational activities.

China has a great way going about this. making friends with less developed countries that U.S. overlooked. China is looking for something specific. Just as U.S. is looking for something specific as well. To be totally honest I am not entirely sure what the U.S. is looking for when engaging with other countries, other than the same narrative for the fear of not having safety blah blah. This time that was spent on these adventures the U.S. cannot get back, while also injuring foreign relations.

there is a clear sign that the U.S. government is confused and has a gun with no-where to aim. All the policies and efforts are accelerating the U.S. into deterioration. The U.S. has some strong sector for the sake of this reply i will mainly say that attacking the top tech firms and industries with regulation will only push them out to more favorable grounds give new room for industries to form in more favorable grounds other than U.S.. the solution must solve the problem that brought the solution to existence.
That's why I said feels like a telco sell. If this doesn't privatise the commons and two factories next to each other and the block of flats across the road can also use it, I'm sold. If it's a telco play like picocells were, to move your voice to VoLTE and then VoWiFI but still charge you for sending data over your IP packet budget.. I'm less sure. Telcos might just be a licencing gadget to sell me a unique phone identity.

I'm assuming in the ops side of your role, you're not filling in firewall rules paperwork to an network team, spinning up new servers to SSH in and SCP some files over and edit a couple of config files though. Operations just doesn't look like that anymore, so the fact that SWE teams can now do a meaningful amount of operations for their product is the revolution. It may not feel like it if you weren't doing operations the old way, but there are a lot of tools that are invisible to make things work.
