What other cases are there. The only cases I know of are of US laws being "applied" overseas. I don't know of any other country that does this/has the power to do this.

I think it mostly takes mental energy to addapt to change. I think you can focus on a large complex mature codebase and make small improvements so long as you're not radically chaging everything. Maybe it comes down to synapses firing versus synapses rewiring but that's just a laymans guess.

While I'm sure 100 hours a week is impossible, my dad did 6x11 work days which were dominated by coding pre-internet. You wouldn't know him, he burned out. I have personally witnessed him do more than 60 hours in a week coding. That said, his coding work isn't necessarilly creative. He can do a 12 hour stint of step through debugging stopping only to microwave frozen food. Or 12 hours of data analytic work. Since it is said this man is into optimization I'd say it is possible he's like my dad, he gets into this numb zombie state "change something, run again, look at profiler output line by line." Some people doom scroll HN or tiktok 14 hours a day, other's doom scroll a flame graph.

I also think both eink and oled will make its way into fashion among a subculture of younger people, people who live wear, avatars. I can see a big opening for a social marketplace for light rythms and patterns that you can download into your jacket or hat. I imagine some people will pay thousands of dolars for dynamically changing unique "2nd skins" made by botique designers and sold via tiktok.

Color eink displays integrated in surprising places will grow a lot. I think we may even finally see eink intersections where the lanes change dynamically depending on the light cycle.

How is that different than a train or intercity bus?

Rhenium is used in industry already in metal aloys. It costs around $10000 per Kg. [1] And the US produced 8 tons of it in 2020 [2]. A modern cpu weighs 60g. If we were to make CPUs out of pure Rhenium we could make 133 000 a year at a cost of just $600 each for raw materials. If these things are really a million times faster than the current best in breed silicon ones they will have no trouble competing commercially. $600/ one million is not very much money at all and 133000 times one million is a LOT of compute. Furthermore, the CPUs will not be pure Rhinium.

I work with a company that has a spaces subscription and their location in Prague has so many weird rules and ways to squeese money out of both the workers and the company that I find the office to be downright unpleasant.

You're not allowed to eat food or bring your own drinks into the common areas because they want you to pay for their overpriced coffee and sandwitches. The coworking space closes at 5 and you have to leave. It opens at 8:30 and you can't enter before then. They will randomly close half the common area because someone rented it for a party. In the private office there are no power outlets at the desk. There is exactly one hookup place in the middle of the floor and we have extention cables everywhere. Despite paying (way above market) for a private office only a limited number of preaproved people are allowed to use it, anyone extra has to have a spaces subscription too. Despite allegedly renting the private office we are not allowed to use our own furnature, or electronics, or place anything on the walls (we can, but this would be paid extra).

Overall, it looks nice and has a nice view but once you see the rulebook it becomes an extremely unwelcoming experience.

Bad mood isn't the same as chronic depression though...

This is a bad argument because humans use two eyes that move constantly in unison, have massively higher dynamic range than any digital camera, and can accurately measure distance in a fraction of a second by changing their focus distance. A web cam really can't replace human sight, if it was two very high speed camersa that moved like human eyes than your argument would stand, but it is not!

That would be amazing.

Hm, reason.com is pretty free speech absolutist...

I'm confused, was he being an arsehole?

My point was to criticise this paragraph: " For attackers it’s also not a very tempting scenario. If you’ve already breached all the outer walls and defeated all the soldiers there, who would want to risk their life crawling up some stairs where the defenders are waiting for you? Sieges often didn’t involve much fighting at all, as simply waiting outside the castle till the people inside ran out of water and food was a much easier and less bloody way to win. In many cases simply realising the enemy was going to sit outside and wait was enough to surrender."

The author seems to be claiming that beyond the outer walls castles don't have defensive elements as they are pointless once the walls have been breached. This claim is false.

There is a pretty significant flaw in this article in that it assumes castles mostly defended against war. When you read history books, and actually visit real castles, you learn the main threats were insurection, rebellion, and disease. Most royalty who were killed were killed by people within the castle walls, so the argument 'well you'd just give up' simply doesn't apply. You don't 'just give up' if your brother is trying to kill you or there is a peasant rebellian. Neither of those situations typically involve unbreakable seiges.... The idea that castles are not built for internal defence goes against a tremendous amount of archeological evidence. They are choke full of trap doors, weird side rooms, and hiding spots.

By work is common. For example sales people are paid on comission. If they do 10 deals they get 10x the money. Similarly, lawyers can and do work on comission in fields like collection and tort. Farm workers are paid by piece when it comes to harvesting or planting. In tech, pen testers are often paid by exploit.

I wonder if there is a good partial colloring technique for eink displays in this...

Ceramic coated lead?

The water isn't in direct contact with the radioactive material and does not become radioactive itself? Its not like the water normally expelled from nuclear powerplants is radioactive.

European water based radiators have regulators built into them and can heat with water anywhere from 40 all the way up to 120C (steam). They regulate the flow based on the room temperature and configuration.

Nuclear powered domestic water heaters. You could have heated your home just by pumping water through a radio active pipe section. It would have been very cheep, carbon neutral, and relatively safe (no risk of chernobl style meltdowns). Trouble is disposal and security.

I'm seeing a bunch of results from China. I was under the impression it was illegal to sell A100 to China, so where are the chinese sellers getting these cards?

You'd also have to assume zero revenue...

I'd like to recommend the Czech mapy.cz for Europe. It is generally much better and contains fewer translation errors.

1) An overworked and indebted worker could intentionally disrupt a semiconductor fab causing significant delays in the production of graphics cards.

2) White separatists could take controll of a medium sized section of Northern Idaho and the standoff could turn into a stalemate.

3) Joe Biden could have a stoke yet still insist on running for a second term.

4) A sink hole caused by excessive pumping of ground water could cause a sink hole which at least temporarilly swallows a major river.

How is the format opaque ither than being a binary protocol? It has great documentation on encoding/decoding and a tool for inspecting the binary messages https://protobuf.dev/programming-guides/encoding/

Are the oil companies ads companies?

No, concrete and bricks are much stronger in compressive loads.
