I keep seeing this tweet, and it’s super duper wrong Start with the truism: electricity costs come from the three segments (generation, transmission, and distribution) G + T + D G includes both fixed and variable costs. The post incorrectly assumes only variable G costs matter

@ganwani The marginal cost of energy is the cost to make it. If you look at those curves you see the price trending to zero. So if it costs less and less to make it, why do prices rise? It’s because transmission, distribution and “smoothing” - simply called T&D costs. The total cost

@adamwathan Where are the renovations in your house occurring? Unless they're happening outside, the wall you've torn down is exactly the opposite of where you want to isolate incoming sound from (i.e. they're outside walls). I'll lend this to @steveschoger if you want.

@dvassallo @elonmusk Basically to save weight, plus it helps with reusability. He talks about this in many videos.

@peterktodd @timpastoor I'm actually curious what the limiting factor is in the BE. I'd imagine an L402 kind of mechanism would work to quell spam. Leave the door "open" (er.. to pay) for people who really rely on a message getting through. Plus you could use the LN funds for the UTXO fee.

@nyonson_ Just as a noob to all this, I'd be curious if/how you tested each of these on real data. e.g. the actual time-to-encrypt differences, and how they all compare to hardware AES (which I'm assuming is a pretty good standard for speed, but I don't really know).

What a fantastic article in @tabletmag tabletmag.com/feature/americ…

@cldellow Also, FYI, you might want to blur that address.

@cldellow 🎉 (and I love 3+ year threads that get wrapped up)

@valkenburgh There are fundamental limits to the beaming tech and radio bands used for Starlink (or any satellite comms, really). It's not dense enough to serve everyone in a city. Fire optic cables are superior in cost/but sent, and has better latency. They compliment each other.

They were part of growing up in Canada in the 1990s. We can instantly recognize the theme to their segments, and they inspired Canadians to get out and get active. This is the story of BodyBreak with Hal Johnson and Joanne McLeod! Hal Johnson was raised in North York, ON and excelled at sports. He represented Canada as a first baseman at the World Baseball Championship. He was hired as a sports reporter by TSN but the offer was taken back because the network didn't want two Black reporters. Joanne McLeod grew up in Scarborough, ON, also excelling in athletics. She was a four-time national and seven-time provincial hurdle champion. She also represented Canada at the Pacific Conference Games and the 1978 Commonwealth Games. The couple met at the gym in the 1980s. In 1988, after receiving 40 rejections for sponsorship, including over the mixed-race pairing of the hosts, they self-financed BodyBreak, which cost $4,000. The name BodyBreak came from Hal's sister Lynn. The first BodyBreak was shot on July 13, 1988, which focused on using lunges to combat fatigue while golfing on the back nine. In January 1989, ParticipACTION signed on for additional shows. On April 28, 1989, BodyBreak aired on CBC for the first time. From the pilot until 1994, 128 segments were created, all focusing on how to incorporate exercise into daily life. From 1993 to 1995, Canada's Vitality project partnered with BodyBreak. The segments aired on numerous stations in commercial breaks, including TSN. The couple married in 1999. Since the first segment, over 300 90-second segments have aired. Maclean's has stated, "Trying to explain the cultural significance that Hal and Joanne have taken on...is like trying to explain the cultural significance of Tim Hortons."

Hal Johnson a grandi à North York, en Ontario, et excellait dans le sport. Il a représenté le Canada en tant que joueur de premier but au Championnat du monde de baseball. Il a été embauché comme journaliste sportif par TSN, mais l'offre a été retirée parce que la chaîne ne voulait pas de deux journalistes noirs. Joanne McLeod a grandi à Scarborough, en Ontario, et excellait également en athlétisme. Elle a été quatre fois championne nationale et sept fois championne provinciale de haies. Elle a également représenté le Canada aux Jeux de la Conférence du Pacifique et aux Jeux du Commonwealth de 1978. Le couple s'est rencontré au gymnase dans les années 1980. En 1988, après avoir reçu 40 refus de parrainage, notamment en raison du duo métis des hôtes, ils ont autofinancé BodyBreak, qui a coûté 4 000 $. Le nom BodyBreak vient de la sœur de Hal, Lynn. Le premier BodyBreak a été tourné le 13 juillet 1988 et se concentrait sur l'utilisation de la fente pour lutter contre la fatigue en jouant au golf sur les neuf derniers. En janvier 1989, ParticipACTION s'est inscrite à des spectacles supplémentaires. Le 28 avril 1989, BodyBreak a été diffusé pour la première fois sur CBC.

De 1993 à 1995, le projet canadien Vitality s'est associé à BodyBreak. Les segments ont été diffusés sur de nombreuses stations pendant les pauses publicitaires, dont TSN. Le couple s'est marié en 1999. Depuis le premier segment, plus de 300 segments de 90 secondes ont été diffusés.

@cadlam I'm curious about your thoughts on why opnsense vs pf.

"You might find it preferable not to translate it into your own language. Often the standard answer about legalities is that it's only intended for people in other countries. Translating it into your home language weakens that argument."

He was careful with choosing software licences, but barely mentioned the law, just advising Malmi not to translate to Finnish:
