Details on "Snowden showed that all American companies were in bed with the US government when it came to spying on foreigners"? Because that wasn't in the records I read.

I guess my perspective is "When will people stop building solar capacity?" Which is another way of asking "When will people stop consuming more power?" Previously, we had finite energy resources that were limited by the

Equating US and Chinese court protections is wrong by orders of magnitude. The US has its failures, but it has a much stricter and more oppositional judiciary than China. Ergo, Google and Facebook in China would not be like TikTok Project

This gets tossed out, but didn't Snowden literally prove they weren't the same? In that the NSA had to tap backhaul links because they couldn't simply order Google to turn over Gmail data. And was trawling internet traffi

That's where the temperature requirements come in. Afaik, they're the prime driver of intermittent-tolerance.

My thinking, isn't the effective end state that power stabilizes at much lower and without capacity cap solar rates? Previously, worldwide supply expansion = increasing fuel costs in the global market In a post-fuel / solar world,

Is that lifecycle or at-plant to output? My impression was most of the recycling energy inputs were in collection, sorting, and shipping.

My naive impression is that heavy industry is (and has been) doing a lot of research into aligning their processes with more intermittent future energy characteristics. I.e. moving from a "we want to run the plant at optimal efficiency

Was curious about the currently installed amounts: https://www.visualcapitalist.com/mapped-solar-power-by-count... (2021) You can definitely see a divergence between countries that have made it a priority and those that hav

I'm guessing the implication is that it allows concealment of CO2-intensive new steel production. If you take "raw" steel and process it, you can look green from your operations... ... just ignore the upstream producers using

They can't fix it, but compiler teams can. It's a testament to those unsung heroes that most high-level language users can remain blissfully unaware of how much is automatically fixed by compilers in their emitted instructions.

I don't think the target consumer for HoloLens is anyone most people would meet in real life, unless they work in very specialized subfields. And I didn't include anything in the Azure area/time period.

Xbox (2001), Kinect (2010), Surface (2015), PowerBI (2015), HoloLens (2016) I'll ignore the Window Phone era. ;)

Agreed. The ideal scheme would be anonymous reporting + objective third party prioritization + financial compensation if benefits realized. The lack of compensation always baffled me. If an employee comes up with a change that saves the com

It's not 100% truth -- it's that you can't even get 100% detail. This clip always resonated with me, re: high level leadership: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gguxM8eABP8 (as context, one subordinate he's

There are a whole class of problems that fall into the "seems like a good idea/measure at some management level, based on the data and worldview they have, but fail in reality, due to some detail at the ground level" category

You should put a blog/site up with some examples. "GPT being the worst DM ever" sounds hilarious. "I attack the goblin." "What goblin?" "The goblin you just said was there." "I'm sorry,

Okay, so Antarctica, Chicago, and Cleveland. But the broader point is that the utility of an overnight temperature is that it happens while most people are sleeping, and thus unable to respond to it. Fluctuations while one is awake can be c

Are they? Freeze warnings are pretty important in large parts of the country.

Given that the suns movements are pretty predictable, it seems suboptimal to define counter to something that happens almost every day.

Then you live in Antarctica, it's winter, and you're out of scope.

My memory is that every ring topology had pretty nasty failure characteristics around "a single misbehaving/failing client." Which Ethernet has too, but can generally tolerate a much higher level of imperfect reality, while s

Neat! (Re: you and parent) At their core, most hardware evolutions seem like optimizing compute:memory:storage:functionality vs the (changing) current state of the art/economy. When Ethernet was first released, compute was expensive. M

Bluetooth auto-connect somewhat makes sense, reasoned from principles. If you want audio to start magically playing in the car, and the car is often turned off... You can't have the phone connect to it. Otherwise it would continually h

Ha! But they delivered that much value (or more), so the market supported the price until supply flooded. We could do worse for a transformative technology ranking metric than "How overpriced was this when first released?" (signif
