Yes, so you disagree with the prior commenter. You think science is the "validator" of knowledge.

"I know that I am in pain" is not validated by science, and science has no role even to play in "validating" it.

"I know that science works" is not validated by science and science has no role in validating it.

etc.

It would seem there are probably knowledge claims which belong in the domain of culture that are likewise orthogonal to science ("I know that we liked the new Star Wars").

Since a couple other people mentioned that this was a really good Wikipedia article (and I thought so too), I looked through the Wikipedia revision history in detail to see how it got written.

It's essentially written by one person (Wikipedia user Deglr6328) over a span of 2 years during 2004-2006 followed by hundreds of edits over the next decade by around a dozen users to improve wording, style, references, links, and photos.

The pattern for the best material on Wikipedia seems to be that of one subject matter expert or enthusiast writing the basic article and a small hardcore group of Wikipedia editors improving it (and who do improve it greatly -- I'm not minimizing their part). But you need the initial expert or super-passionate person to get it started.

What's needed is a carbon tax. Yes this will make meat (among other things) more expensive, but it is generally offset by the tax savings.

That's not the way it worked.

The access was provided only to dry pairs ( think alarm wires) for DSL if the carriers had unused dry pairs ( they did not ). To do that, one needed to colocate in a certain number of COs ( large ), take at least a rack per CO ( $2.5K-5K ) even if one had only ONE subscriber. The rack was placed into a special area of CO (so only some COs had them - there was no requirement to build out that area ) and finally in order to terminate anything out of that rack one needed to buy a crazy expensive service from the CO carrier ( think $10-15k/mo ) to get a DS3 or OC3 out.

This meant that absolutely no sane ISP could really afford to do this as there would be no customers wanting to pay hundreds of dollars a month for IP service. ISP DSL access was a replacement for T1s selling for $1.5K/mo between loop and IP, not for residential.

There was no requirement to share fiber builds.
I don't disagree in principle, "Be the change you want to see in the world" and all that, but climate change from an individual level to me seems silly, or perhaps overwhelming. I have stopped really worrying about it in the Dr. Strangelove sense because it's out of control. We're supposed to sort our plastics and papers and yet all of our options available for purchase have been shipped, at least in part, from across the Pacific Ocean? There's airplanes littering the skies yet I'm supposed to worry about putting my banana peels into a compost bin? I actually don't understand. I feel like a lot of business decisions are made that we, as peons, have no say in that affect the overall biosphere a lot and then we're made to feel bad about it. "Ride your bike!" "Recycle!" "Don't forget to turn your lights off when you're not in the room!" Meanwhile: Fracking. ookay...

On topic: I have little doubt there's a strong link between climate change in general and the production and consumption of livestock.

It's more than that. People are very attached to their food choices, they put a lot of personal stock in what they eat. Food is an essential, ancient part of culture and society.

You not only have to convince people to get over the taste, but you also have to convince people to get over the cultural importance of meat-based foods. Not so hard and some families, but probably serious challenge and many others. "Thanksgiving turkey", "Christmas ham", "high holidays brisket", what have you.

I can’t think of anything this visualization gives that standard scopes in software like Nuke don’t provide, but those are not as intuitive or quick to read.

Color in image reproduction is notoriously difficult to measure by simply looking at a whole image. Much of what we perceive as color characteristics are contextually dependent. And while the characteristics may not vary, the level of contextual dependence seems to. Females are more likely to have more reliable contextually affected color perception than males.

People don't believe the link between meat consumption and climate change.

It seems like one leftist agenda being used to push another leftist agenda and pretty much anyone who isn't down with leftist agendas tunes right out as this is just too far fetched to even consider.

(Not a heavy meat eater myself but not for planet saving reasons. I just don't like a lot of meat sitting in my stomach. Beans and whole grains and fruits and veggies and occasionally a small piece of meat is much better for me.)
Surely it is expensive. But think about the cost to make them. Its a simple combination of water, metal and plastic. FYI, shipping batteries is considered hazardous. In my experience Amazon did not accept return shipments for a battery they sent to me that was defective.
So you're saying never to trust 3rd party providers? It's one for the legal team I'd say; in this case Starbucks probably didn't provision for abuse or time spent in the wifi portal in the contracts. Might have a case for causing reputation damage.
I was using a simple form of 2FA with my retail bank in Switzerland back in the early 2000s.
Partly it is because real objects are often made out of a single colour. The camera sees different parts of the object under different lighting conditions. That mainly only changes the brightness. Specular highlights also desaturate the base colour, but nothing changes the hue. So all the pixels for that object tend to be aligned on a plane in the colour space plot.

In the example images, the sand in the sand+sky picture is the only thing this is really true for.
Surely there are minimal subsets of functionally complete operators, in general different ones for different three-valued logics. E.g., for Łukasiewicz's logic (L3), ∧ (conjunction) and ⟶ (implication) will do (implication is not definable using other operators).

I doubt that you could define, L3's operators just with NAND (or NOR). In L3, "N implies N" is T, and "not N" is N (where N is the third truth value). So, in one case, a formula whose components are all evaluated with N has truth value T, and in the other has truth value N. This is not a proof, of course, but I'd like to see such a definition of NAND :)

Interestingly enough, with F571 SQL's propositional fragment is functionally complete: any three-valued truth table can be defined. For instance, Łukasiewicz's P ⟶ Q can be expressed with

(not P or Q) or (P is unknown and Q is unknown)

and the Słupecki operator, which is needed to obtain a functional complete system from L3, can be expressed with:

(P or unknown) and unknown
My unsolicited comments. I really want to see a good JSON-done-right out there and your spec is maybe 90% there.

I'd rather only /* */ comments were allowed. By allowing //, you've now got two varieties of white-space the parser needs to be aware of. Because of this, I can't take multiple lines of ZISH and join them together into a single line. (Something both JSON and XML can do.)

What is a "line"? CR, LF, CRLF, LFCR, FF, VT, U+0085, U+2028, U+2029?

Am I required to treat ZISH files as "binary"? Could I convert all of those end-of-line bytes into my OS's preferred form without losing data?

The notation of ending a line with a \ also prevents joining multiple lines into a single line. Maybe formalize "string"+"string" as an explicit string joining notation? (Or if not +, some other character to notate string concatenation.)

Given you have the decimal type, is float necessary? Values with a "e" are still expressed with decimal digits.

Is there a limit to numeric types? What if my ZISH file contained a several hundred 9s in a row?

Sets seems unnecessary given you already have lists. You can take a list and treat it as a set after parsing with no loss of data.

I very much like the addition of timestamps and binary without needing a string. This is my big pet peeve of JSON.

Your examples include uses of null and true, but your spec doesn't define those values. (Or false for that matter.)

The description of map doesn't specify if the order of keys is significant. Is {"a":"b", "c":"d"} the same as {"c":"d", "a":"b"} ?
Yeah, that's not how the comment read when I responded. It said "be held liable," not "do time."

I must've responded while he was editing it, and I didn't catch the change.
In the UK, I think chances of getting workers rights, privacy, consumer rights, environmental issues, etc., passed in the EU is far far greater than getting any such thing passed by the Tories.

That's entirely expected, the EU as a whole is more liberal, more green, and more socialist than the Tories.
I think we should consider a rule that everybody who wants to eat an animal, has to kill it themselves. At least that will solve the mental disconnect between reality and food consumerism.
I found interesting the identification of different clusters. Now do some learning over the clusters. Letter cut out from colored shape seems to be the most prominent feature, and the most boring one. But some of the shapes (without cut-outs) are rather interesting.

Democrats' base is also composed of a huge population of over ten million illegal immigrants. They are often well-integrated with Democrat-aligned political organizations, and many have family or friend connections to citizens who can vote legally. And given the political climate, it's obvious they massively favor Democrats.

They don't have to do anything as complex as voting at several polling places. They just have to go vote once. That's easy to justify to yourself.

It's a massive opportunity to cheat.

Here is an article (with sources): https://www.webmd.com/sex/features/sex-drive-how-do-men-wome...
First off, I don't understand why anyone would want to talk about "curve sigs". Unless there's some fundamental new property being conveyed by the use of elliptic curves (e.g., pairing-based signatures) then you don't want to start with elliptic curves at all. All of these signatures were initially designed to work in (e.g., Schnorr-type) finite-field groups. The use of elliptic curves instead of FF is at most an efficiency/security optimization that you tack on to the existing algorithms. It's interesting -- and you can get lost in the details -- but it's not fundamental.

The three goals I would aim for are:

* Explain groups and group operations, exponentiation and DL
* Describe the interactive Schnorr identification protocol and explain why/how it works
* Show how this can be flattened into a (non-interactive) signature using a hash function, and why that works
* (Optionally, show how [EC]DSA is just a bastardization of Schnorr/Elgamal)
* (Optionally, describe the proof techniques and the Forking Lemma, but maybe nobody really cares.)

Then as icing on the cake you could explain how elliptic curve subgroups are instantiated, and why they represent an improvement over the Schnorr groups. But unless you're actually developing new EC software (and you probably shouldn't) that's more informational. Besides, there are a ton of tutorials on that out on the Internet, and not a lot of explanations that cover the operation and security of actual signature schemes.
The answer is quite obvious. You could start off with a grayscale 2D image on one side, and a pretty dotted 3D object on the other side. You'd then read the coordinates of the 3D object in a specific color space to obtain color values which you can pretty randomly (or even judiciously) apply to the grayscale image.

Now I would pose another question: would it be possible to make a human-recognizable 3D-object in all the four color spaces that is also a pretty picture in 2D?
>In the Netherlands we require ID to vote and having an ID is not free but it is compulsory.

As mined materials start to get more scarce, their prices will rise, and mining companies will have increased power over markets. You can see recycling as a kind of "intertemporal power smoothing", depriving mining companies of future economic power by reducing the rate at which materials are mined. Economic concentration of power imposes tremendous externalities, most of which are felt by ordinary people in the form of price increases and political disenfranchisement due to lobbying and outright corruption.

People had all sort of problems when using Apple unsanctioned Clang binaries (problems when Xcode updates, other software gets confused if you add your new Clang to the system PATH). It is easy to get in trouble, better to avoid the problem.

In theory, yes, you should be able to run a different version of Clang side by side.
Meat is cheap. AND it's not up to individuals to make the broad policy changes needed to affect climate change. That's done by governments. People will follow suit. If there's a tax on meat, less meat will be eaten. To put the onus on individuals to make policy decisions is preposterous.
Yeah, you can use principle component analysis to figure out the transform to make the colour space "optimal" for compression of a specific image. I tried that once:

https://bainbridgecode.wordpress.com/2012/04/24/beating-png-...

and

https://bainbridgecode.wordpress.com/2012/05/07/beating-png-...

There are plots at the end of part 3 showing the image channels separately for YCrCb and my custom PCA derived space. They clearly show that there's a lot less duplication of data between channels with the latter. And that in turn is obviously good for compression.

“As the price of bitcoin stabilizes, then the net worldwide energy because of the block reward will start to decrease rather than increase.”

I don't think so. As long as PoW is in place, the level of work required to create a block must be high, no matter what the reward is. If the blocks are too cheap, then a determined attacker with the incentive to destroy, control or harm bitcoin (a state actor who loves capital controls and hates money laundering perhaps?) could easily buy enough hashing power to squeeze out the honest miners, who need to be profitable to stay in business, and eventually control a majority.

Do regions with most growth also eat most meat, per capita?
I don’t get the connection either. The United States with 4% of the world’s population produces a lot of CO2. India with 4 times the number of people produced half as much.

China with 4 times the number of people now produces twice as much as the US. China’s CO2 surged in the past two decades.

Finally, does this have anything to do with meat?
