Does S4 still get OS-level monthly security updates?
Currently we are passing through an atypical wind and rain period. Our dams are full and pouring out water as we are producing more energy than we consume.

Despite all of this energy prices don't drop as they are bound to one of the few legal monopolies in Europe: the grid operation cartel (REN in the article, there is only one allowed for each EU country).

Also this feels as fake news since we have a few very old (and historically insecure, like sines power plant and carregado power plant) fossil fuel power plants that are still operating with no signs of slowing down while making profits through several scams in chemical engineering their way into the 0 emissions lot.
> We don't have enough sunny days to make solar great

That's what people say about Germany too, but they keep breaking surprising solar records. Looking at the maps at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_in_Germany#/media/... and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_in_Poland#/media/F... it looks like the potential is not that different, though Southern Germany does have some areas with more peak sun. But those are not the only areas where they have solar installations in Germany.

EDIT: Let me qualify this a bit, the colors are somewhat misleading in direct comparison. Looking at the numbers, most of Poland seems to be roughly comparable to the northern half of Germany in terms of solar potential. And that potential is used in Germany, even in the north.

> we don't have enough strong winds

I'm really just guessing here, but my impression was that having access to the sea basically guarantees offshore wind power potential. Also, all of Eastern Europe is basically a single flat pancake, you should get strong wind straight from Russia, I think. That was the case when I was living in Eastern Austria, at least (where there is a bunch of wind power).
DNS seems to be causing it. It hasn't propagated yet. Had to move the site away from Cloudflare because it was being blocked by networks.
Probably only for the very large. And even there I'm not sure if you can distinguish amazon from AWS, Microsoft from Azure and Google from Google Cloud. Facebook and Twitter should work reliably but even with a Facebook IP it could probably still be Instagram or Whatsapp.
Agreed, and I'm not even certain governments within capitalist systems can handle these challenges. At issue is the presence of scales that our species have not worked with before, both time and populations. We don't even have a good framework to judge relative difficulty between current and past technological eras, except perhaps coarse-grained energy per capita per annum metrics.

The time scale is a real killer IMHO. Many of the challenges involve timescales that are very vulnerable to abandonment by political processes, as progress is achingly slow for our current perceptions. We might be able to grow in bioreactors Memphis Meats-style protein, especially with CRISPR-powered advancements, but even that is a solid 4+ decades away before we see Neal Stephenson-envisioned sashimi for the masses. I don't see any kind of speculative investment trying to solve basic, low-margin deployments like that, on that kind of timescale.

And even then, I don't really see sustainability built into the design and research from the beginning; it is like we rarely see security built into general business software from the beginning. So for the protein availability challenge, I don't see an emphasis on creating the entire "stack" in a sustainable manner, starting from solar energy, building through to the feedstocks into the processes being researched. This perniciously binds us to legacy energy and materials production supply chains for those feedstocks, and creating more externalities into undesirable positive feedback loops.

While the 2.6.32-696.23.1.el6.x86_64 is an old kernel, it is actually the current kernel for CentOS/RHEL 6. Red Hat has backported a lot of fixes to it and CentOS/RHEL 6 is a distribution that is still under maintenance.

It is still out there in a lot of places and has been in production for a while. That it is old, is a feature, it also means that it is incredibly stable.

Also note that the problem is also reported on a CentOS 7.4 kernel a few posts down.

Billionaire George Soros Says “Ready to Invest in Bitcoins”
You can't really make expectations based on literally one of the best cases.
I often think that a mind that wanders is a bit like the physical sensation of pain. In general, it is actually a very useful evolutionary advantage to experience pain, as well as to have a mind that can contemplate multiple possibilities, past, future and hypothetical events. This makes us succeed. But at the same time, pain is also a bit primitive in that it is useless and counterproductive when you already know you're sick or injured. Similarly, a wandering mind that is out of control is basically the primary cause of depression. It might be the case that as we evolved, a wandering mind was extremely useful to wander about where to look for food or how to hunter gather better, etc, but perhaps the mechanism is less well-equipped to function properly in modern day society.

All just conjecture of course, no clue if backed up by any evidence :-)
Double standards for smartphones vs. laptops when it comes to privacy?
This sounds like it shouldn't work:

- If it starts showing you to unusually attractive people wont those people rate you unusually low until you reach some equilibrium?

- I would expect any feature determining the top most attractive should use a weighting of the raters (like PageRank)

- I would expect OKC to try to be optimizing for total matches: that means they should have some system for "you rate a certain cluster of people unusually high, we should direct you to that set of people since the other people you rate high are already saturated"
Somewhat similar...I was at a FANG and not as high salary as you about $250K/year but had about $2.5M in net savings (mix of 401k, retirement and cash). Just wasn't happy being in a large company as came in via an acquisition. Once the golden handcuffs expired left for a small start-up with only about 40 people. The start-up did not go anywhere but overall I am happy with the decision and would never go back to FANG. I think if you worked at FANG the pedigree is easy to get another job anywhere for the most part. Now would it give you a $500K salary? prob not.

I wonder how much of such a bike can be recycled? I'd think it's close to 100% and that it probably pays for costs of pick-up. If not, cities could make companies pay for costs of disposing of bikes. Shouldn't be a big environmental issue then, just Chinese subsidies that help recycling companies and consumers. Pretty similar to all those VC billions that provided free Uber/Lyft rides to millions.
Indonesian is not Indo European, but it's close enough for exchange, so: Hare means "bright", and has a very versatile root in Proto-Indo-European. Hare, Rabbit in English, is said to come from a root meaning "grey" but I find bright more likely. Krishna (and Kali and other hindu words) means dark, can mean terrible, deep, etc., so Hare Krishna could be interpreted as "bright dark", and I think a distant relation to yin and yang is obvious. Also, the latin ''deus'' is said to go back to a root meaning "sky", which is kind of bright; English ''day'' came from the same root.

Eye could be a metaphor for observer, guard, protector; also for a treasure, something protected; in both ways ''ma''-"mother" seems an apt subsumption.

In Chinese, ''star (constellation)'' is written with a sign meaning "night guard duty".

And then there's ''Hor, Horus'', god of sky, sun (and war ...) depicted in hieroglyphs by a falcon; The same word [1] stands for "upon". So the theonym is likely derived from "the One Above". ''hr'' in turn is likely derived from Proto-Afro-Asiatic ''x̣al''.

Sky in French is "ciel", the proto-indo-european root given as ''kel'', whence also ''ceiling'' (and perhaps ''cellar'', whence ''cell'', not the other way around). I think that's close enough to ''*xal'', considering that the Iberian had contact between keltic and north African tribes (kel-tic?).

The greek autonym ''Helenikos'' is likely informed by "elector" (sun), cf. en. ''halo'', ger. ''hell'' ("bright").

Further, internal reconstruction comparing other roots is difficult so the relation to old egyptian that I drew out is not established.

A funny thing to look at would be the root of ''calm'', which is uncertain but perhaps related to "burning in the midday sun". Ironically, "burn" is related to "black".

Where is here? In London, you can see them in the app. They allow you to "block" it for 15 minutes so it's less of a gamble if you have to walk a few minutes for the next bike. Works well from my first tests and cheaper/easier than the official version.

More important than the diffraction limit is probably the fact you put an image sensor in front of your image sensor, and it will distort the wavefront for the sensor behind it.

Plastic bags are also quite transparent, but you never get a better picture by putting them in front of your camera.
I've seen these types of bikes around from time to time (in London), but certainly not enough to consider them a reliable form of daily transport. Whereas the station near my work, and near home, always has a healthy supply of docked Boris bikes waiting for me.

When would be a good time to start worrying? Let's say two hundred years from now, give or take a few decades. I imagine that by that time we might have made some progress on the subject of intelligence, what it is and how to reproduce it. At that point, it might be prudent to worry about an AI getting out of control.

We have no way of knowing what external indicators we might get. We have no idea what AGI would look like. That is often offered up as the very reason to "act now!" by Singularitarians, but if there is a threat that you don't know anything about, there is also nothing you can do about it. Unless you know what you're trying to stop, your actions are as good as random.

In this sort of discussion, you can replace "AGI" with "alien invasion". The threat from a Superintelligence is as serious and as predictable as that from an alien civilisation. We can prepare against AGI as much as we can prepare against an alien invasion. And we have exactly as much to fear from a hostile AGI as we have from a hostile alien species.

Such a sensor (used to) exist, Foveon X3. It is very interesting as it also uses the differential absorption of different wavelengths of light at different depths in silicon to distinguish colours: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foveon_X3_sensor
It had various advantages, and some disadvantages related to distinguishing colours, but ultimately wasn’t very successful in the market despite getting shipped in some DSLRs, possibly due to the marketing challenges (Bayer array sensor manufacturers count each R/G/B sub pixel as part of their “megapixel” count, so the Foveon sensor appeared low resolution by that metric).
I think the intuition gap comes from the misleading arts education about colour. It's still common to teach in schools that primary colors for paint are blue, red and yellow - when the correct primary colors are cyan, magenta and yellow as everybody familiar with CMYK printing can tell. If you search the internet about mixing paints, almost every site claims that the primary colours are blue, red and yellow... So I don't think it's the subtractive mixing itself, but subtractive mixing with CMY colors (and not the wrong model of red, blue and yellow they are used to).

There's long history of arts education with this misconception, partly because suitable pigments for CMY colour model are relatively new invention. Blue, red and yellow also kind of work well enough, especially if you tweak the palette by having two shades of each as your "primary colors". (E.g. you can mix saturated green from cadmium yellow and prussian blue, but if you mix chrome yellow and ultramarine blue, the green will be muddy). It's kind of like instead of having a full triangular gamut of CMY space, you crop the corners off of the triangle and have a a sort of hexagonal gamut.

As primary colors are by definition "colors that can't be mixed from other colors", it's strange that in arts education they still claim that red and blue are primary colors, when it's obvious that red can be mixed from magenta and yellow, and blue can be mixed from cyan and magenta, as every colour printer is doing it like this.

Yes! Optimal strategies for playing a game too complicated to reason out completely in your head, or which has some random element often aren't unique.

Cepheus http://poker.srv.ualberta.ca/ is a Heads Up Limit Texas Hold 'Em strategy (two players, no betting strategy needed beyond whether to fold / call / raise) that is proved to be approximately optimal. There absolutely must be other strategies that are similar, and in particular circumstances one would dominate another, it's just that since they're all optimal if they played random hands over time they'd all break even.
The main reason why this is illusionary is that you can't see it when data is used against you. With a sample size of one it would be perfectly indistinguishable from bad luck or just bad individual performance.

Are SM the ripples in the societal water? Absolutely.

But who / what is the rock that generates and maintains the narative of those ripples?

The MSM is like Top 40 radio. That is, the public wants what the public gets. No one changes the station. They just keep whistling along to the tunes being played - regardless of how bad and mindless. Most people are simply regurgitating brain-worms. They do that on SM.

p.s. The fact that SM was relatively silent (compared to say Stormy Daniels) is a great example. Which did the MSM "play"? And which was ignored?

There are no ripples without a rock hitting the water.
