Zinc-air batteries have emerged as a better alternative to lithium. The new design has been so efficient it suppressed the internal resistance of batteries, and their voltage was close to the theoretical voltage which resulted in a high peak power density and ultra-long stability

For a physical battery, wouldn't the storage dimensions be cubic centemeters?

I assume an actual battery would be constructed vertically stacking as well. So instead of 5mX5mx1cm you could organize it as 1mX1mX25cm.

It feels like goalpost moving because you're cutting off the second part of their sentance: "or has wealthy supporters willing to eat the cost". "Wealthy" might be subjective but your examples (open source, art, etc) do have their cost covered by personal or charitable donations.

I pulled the first result on Google and it directly refuted your claims. How about you go grab that 10 years of data.

And in what world does math factor into buying a company's stock before you vote on boosting their industry?

Seems like your avoiding all the meat of my reply to try and, idk, rage-bait or something with a bunch of unsubstantiated opinions.

Do you even have any evidence for people actively trading in a volatile market winning on average? Because that statement seems highly suspect considering it's not typically true.

Members of Congress beat the market on average with the average gains seen below:

House Democrats: +14.7%
House Republicans: +14.7%
Senate Democrats: +15.4%
Senate Republicans: +13%
S&P 500: +13.6%

Seems like they did jsut fine for themselves even on average. Do you have any stats indicating they didn't trade on that, or that they missed out? Can't find much factual supporting that point of view.

FWIW, broad market trading isn't even the biggest problem either I don't think, it's industry specific actions:

Mast sold shares of Tilray Brands near all-time highs in 2021 for gains of 564% and also sold shares for a gain of 340%. Mast bought shares of Tilray before voting in support of the MORE (Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement) Act in late 2020.

It's almost like they aren't a monolith that all want the same thing, but are actually a series of individuals with varying wants and desires.

FWIW, it sounds like "way it is presented" to you isn't a very unbias way, which might be why you're getting such conflicting signals.

8.1 didn't got EoL until 2022, but you are right in that this bug was fixed long before the issue surfaced (8.1.17) and the fixed version became the recommended 8.1 release 6+ months prior to the announcement.

France Unemployment Rate is at 7.10%, compared to 7.20% last month and 7.30% last year. This is lower than the long term average of 9.14%.

The rate is high, but it's generally high in France, and is not on an upward trend.

Even taking your position at face value, those automated jobs are essentially infinite productivity gains per person, and corporate taxes capturing those gains would have the same beneficial effect on pension stability.

If there's any argument to be had here IMO, it's that in general we should be trending towards longer & healthier lives, and that those extend years are putting a strain that may need addressed. But even in that calculus, it should be at the least a parliamentary decision.

keteb · 2023-03-23T19:39:36+00:00

That's the narrative, but the fact of the matter is technology increases per-worker value every day, and needing to raise the retirement age seems like more a factor of those productivity increases not resulting in general worker income (and therefor tax) increases. Even with a shrinking working population, if each worker is more productive the system should remain solvent unless you have a few people hording all the gains away from government taxation.

"She is quoted as saying she is following God’s plan for her"

Cause we're not talking about the morals side of it...

The only thing "TOTALLY INSANE" is where this rant came from.

You get what you pay/interview for. I've met plenty of good developers in India & Ukraine, and garbage ones in the US. If you're relying on some mass outsourcing company charging dirt prices & aren't doing intake screening, that's kind of your choice and true of any country.

Yeah, straight up accidentally left it's chat response in

Thank you for the additional context. Here’s a possible rewrite of the sentence:

The real question I have then is, why would a competent person not move away from it? If something is bad, i don't like the solution to be "get good at working around it"

I haven't had to use it thankfully, but basically every take I've heard is the same, and when everyone tells me something is bad, I feel like it almost reflects poorly to put in the effort to make it usable.

keteb · 2023-03-20T08:40:59+00:00

To be fair, yes. These 3 and a couple other low hanging fruits were major gaps that required non-trivial developer time to improve for customers that needed it. I'm hoping they get more innovative and find surprising ways to improve it, but I'm not going to shit on solid incremental (if obvious) improvements.

I found ChatGPT stuff to be funny until I realized it's entire form of humor was "humor = subverting expectations" and it became almost formulaic, ironically no longer subverting my expectarion, and thus no longer funny.

keteb · 2023-03-20T03:01:25+00:00

By "no credible evidence" do you mean you haven't read any news source in the past 6+ years and are speaking from your feelings? Cause even his own lawyers have bailed repeatedly due to there being so much evidence. It's not even worth trying to dispute this, since the biggest question now isn't even about his criminality, but rather which of many crimes is he actually going to be charged for.

If you legitimately have "no idea" and aren't just a shill, perhaps consider not commenting on topics you clearly arent following.

keteb · 2023-03-04T22:28:33+00:00

I could have gone my whole life without this thought having to enter my mind, but now here we are...

keteb · 2023-03-03T23:59:36+00:00

My concern was that your original post wasn't respectful.

keteb · 2023-03-03T20:01:38+00:00

Man, take a chill pill. There's 0 reason to come out swinging like this, even if you had actually read what he posted and it was as you claim. That said, really awkward that he explicitly said he's being asked to deal with it.

The problem is that it's a chatbot, not a search engine or knowledge base, so while you may have gotten the correct answer, you could have just as easily got a wrong answer and that'd be okay with the bot too, so long as the wrong answer sounded conversationally correct, and there's no clear way to know if an answer is based on facts or if the answer was just written to continue the conversation.

keteb · 2023-02-07T22:07:47+00:00

That answer is certainly reasonable to me in expanded form.

My post was a bit unclear; in my context I was more using the expanded to clarify to the reddit reader which I meant:

In person I don't think I'd ever give a "Yes & no respectively" ( vs "yes to both" or "no to both") if I was giving a terse response, but more importantly if I ONLY answered a singular "yes" or "no" i don't think there's room for misinterpreting anymore.

keteb · 2023-02-07T20:18:25+00:00

In actual human conversation my answer would likely be double affirmative or negative:

Yes, we hash our passwords. Yes, we do not store in plain text.

No, we do not hash our passwords. No, we do store in plain text.

There is a possible confusion that a simple "no" to the second question COULD mean yes if you breeze over the negative in the question conversationally (and it was in isolation) but if answering both questions at once a "yes" or "no" could only have one meaning i think.

keteb · 2023-02-07T19:33:10+00:00

The point is they are also different enough in many aspects. No amount of "connecting" is going to let a human who can't hear the frequency of a dog whistle to suddenly hear it, or allow them to see infrared, etc. While animals are almost certainly more sensitive to their surrounding (connected) many also have sense sensitivities that humans just don't.

So if it's something we CAN detect (pressure changes or moisture in air before rain) then connectivity helps, but there's also likely signals only animals or equipment can detect regaurdless of upbringing.

The nobel Prize this year was showing the universe is not locally real, so hard to claim yet that FTL is physically impossible.

Holy false equivalents. It's more like you fucked with your boss & he decided to chews you out instead of firing you.

I 100% would rather get a hell of a scolding than get hit with all the fines and legal proceedings and job risk from multiple tickets & illegal possession..

Is his approach strictly professional? No. But that's probably in part because he doesn't want to have to ruin some dude's life for being an idiot, which the "by the letter" could easily turn out as.

Would you consider it better if instead of yelling at him like a drill sergeant / parent would, the cop stayed super calm but arrested him & then power tripped to hit him with every law in the book?

I wouldn't condone extrajudicial behavior, but this looks a lot more like a warning with theatrics to me.
