> How do you know when to go to bed when idling on a device?

Mindfulness helped me reining that in: I learned to listen to my bodily feelings instead of half-consciously shunting them because ooooh shiny compulsive refresh. It worked both ways: I realised sometimes I tried too hard going to bed when I wasn't tired enough (if at all) and I just slept a couple hours tops, then couldn't sleep for the remainder of the night, which just sucks when the end of the next day comes.

Along with practicing mindfulness, the biggest change for me was killing all blue light sources. This had the most dramatic effect of all things.
Because the question is loosely defined. This was his valid interpretation of the question.
I use the default scroll direction (down is down, up is up) with mouse wheels, but invert it for touchpads. It just feels more correct; with the wheel, it feels like the bottom of the wheel is the thing moving the page up, while with the touchpad it feels like it should be moving the page directly.

Works almost perfectly. The only problem is the Slack desktop app (which inexplicably ignores the settings for literally every other Linux desktop app and fails to invert my touchpad scrolling).

I live in a state that gets most of its electricity from hydro. I’m enjoying air that is much cleaner than when I lived in Beijing (we left because of the pollution).

You are comparing third world problems to first world ones, China has a massive problem today, the USA has mostly solved those. E.g. PM2.5 rarely goes above 100 in most USA cities, that AQI was considered normal in China until very recently, which definitely wasn’t sustainable. It’s great that China is solving its pollution problem; but this doesn’t have much to do with the USA unless you want to talk about carbon instead.

Thanks for the answer! It's disappointing to find someone else who clearly appreciates the problem, but also doesn't have great ideas about how to mitigate.

Sheltering wealth in a business doesn't work, unfortunately. My dad is an SMB owner and his business' financials were included in the financial aid calculation, including the value of all its assets like real estate.
"taking a bank robber’s loot and giving it back is not theft."

I mean, that is technically theft. It's just very obviously justified theft in response to a previous theft (assuming you prove beyond a reasonable doubt that it is in fact the bank robber from whom you're taking the money).
I don't know yet a lot about Matrix but it's a wonderful step forward for government independence.

To explain: certain groups are underrepresented in sought-after professions, at colleges, etc. It is rather widely agreed that this is a result of historical injustices, such as racist or sexist policies and habits not allowing women or non-whites to study at colleges, or get certain jobs.

That is the bank robbery: these groups were robbed of opportunity.

The remedial measures are programs such as the one discussed here, or affirmative action for college admission.

That is "taking the money from the robber, and giving it back to the bank".

The analogy is that the last action does fit your everyday definition of something bad: you are not supposed to take a bag of money from someone against their will. You are not supposed to make employment or acceptance decicions based on sex or race.

Yet, quite obviously, it's stupid to look at those actions in isolation. You have to zoom out, and you'll see: it wasn't his money in the beginning.

That's the analogy, just in case your ignorance was genuine.

Cars just aren't a good use of space in the context of a city. A person in a car has multiplied their volume by 10 or 20. Sure, sometimes it's needed, for hauling some cargo, but I really think there are better things we could do with all the space required to support everyone owning a car (and, btw, I have one myself, so I'm not innocent) so that they can sit in traffic twice daily and a few times on weekends.
Yes, this is kind of exactly the attitude change I am talking about.

The “true positives” found in your model can be expected to have no predictive value, so what is the point of identifying these?
When I say fossil fuel generation, that's peakers (single cycle natural gas or fuel oil/diesel/heavy oil) or baseload coal or natural gas.

Maybe I'm mistaken by what you said? Solar and wind are already pushing coal and nuclear into unprofitable territory; you don't have to push them out entirely before fossil generators are no longer economical to run. You only need to push hard enough to create a downward spiral which causes utility scale battery storage to be cheaper (by soaking up power when prices are at zero or negative, and then discharging when there's demand). Large fossil generators can't run only half the day and still make money.

Yes, there are principled ways to model these things. You can compare the byzantine fault tolerance threshold across PoW and PoS. You can compare the cost of deviating from the Nash equilibrium, and calculate how much an attacker needs to spend to deviate in return for every dollar of damage he causes.

> but this doesn’t have much to do with the USA unless you

The parent comment was all about the USA. I am responding to a comment directly about the USA and its ability/desire to implement renewable energy.

> You are comparing third world pro or s to first world ones

I am not. Much of the US is living in third world conditions [1], despite the definition meaning originally ~"not the US or Russia", an enormous amount of people in the US live in poverty, and a lot of them next to huge corporate pollution nightmares. West Oakland is a good example. These people have lifelong respiratory problems and few people care - certainly not the city nor the company who gave those people long term health problems. That pollution mostly comes from the Port - but my point still stands.

If you think the US is "mostly solved" when it comes to pollution you are dearly wrong.

> A unless you want to talk about carbon instead.

That's pretty much all I was talking about in the first place.

Edit: [1] I'm being told off for this comment, like it isn't true or something? But a commenter below told me that something like 40M people in the USA live in poverty. That's a big number, and certainly is "much of the US". I'm not wrong about a very, very large number of people in the US living in poverty.
Who knows, polish is not something that's really needed for enterprise since the employees can often simply be forced to use the tools almost regardless of their state.
The weakness in the privacy fight is not only the size of the corporate coalition, but it's correlation.

The weakness that you identify above is that individual citizens aren't jumping into it. We are willing to sit back and let large companies to deal with it.

Anyways if you want to create results, find a reason for people to be part of the your organization that is not tied to the goal, and then use the organization for the goal.

In the first demo POV video of the article, the girl has to push them back up on her face after a simple spin. I would think they would need to stay up on their own to maintain a proper POV perspective. I'm surprised they didn't re-shoot that. Is that a selling point?

Car companies sell what people buy. We replaced a 35mpg Kia Rio with a V6 AWD Explorer. That was my choice. It wasn't because Ford don't make a hybrid focus or efficient fiesta. My mustang gets about 11mpg also, and race gas is $10/gallon.

Something that is stupid though, is that I would prefer to use E85 in my mustang, but it would be illegal in california for me to modify the car to be able to do so. Bigger fuel injectors and a tune, costs about $500 to do, but nope, illegal.
> When you buy a 1080ti you are competing with gamers and miners (and maybe others). There's nothing to subsidize, in fact those cards are selling above MSRP, because they aren't selling an ecosystem but a physical card.

Those cards are also irrelevant to the comparison as they can't be bought in large capacities for ML workloads. We're talking about Titan-V's and DGX-1's here.

His bottom up design sounds like the libraries and frameworks of today.

Need to sort a list? There's a sorting function in this library. Need to host a website? There's a framework over there for that.

The main takeaway seems to be the need to create utility level libraries for your own work that is specialized to your needs.
This is similar to the world from the nov The World Inside by Silverberg. Very good book, I recommend it!
" I'm an open source advocate who is incredibly set in my ways and I want the tools that I use to just work. I detest paying for software except when it occupies certain specialized cases or represents something more akin to work of art, such as the video game Portal. But only when it's on sale"

So he's someone who doesn't believe or support the traditional software industry (everyone from Apple to MSFT makes money off the traditional model of paying for value ).

It seems that Tesla's vast amounts of data is mostly useless. After all, there's a heavy concentration of drivers in the Bay Area (where they're based) but all that local data didn't stop a Tesla from slamming into the concrete divider and killing it's driver. On top of that, Tesla's collecting data from two very different sets of sensors, which are not compatible with each other (i.e., the original MobiEye suite and their home-built alternative), so all of the millions of miles collected with the MobiEye sensor suite is useless for their own sensor suite.

Waymo may have less data, but it's data appears to be far more useful.

That was a pretty terrible article. How does free speech enable the "mass murder" of women? Would attacks against women stop if people weren't allowed to talk about them first? And incels isn't a great community, but I think saying that their goal is to kill women is simply false.
US citizens have the ability to publish almost any information as a form of protected speech. So either you have to censor someone and violate their free speech rights, or you have to let them say what they want, preventing things from being forgotten. The courts are reluctant to violate the first amendment.

PM 2.5 is an immediate non-abstract threat that really sucks if you have to live it. If you think the respiratory problems are bad in Oakland, that is nothing compared to what is happening in much of eastern China. Again, the scales are completely different and incomparable.

It's not completely circular. For example in casper-ffg if you as a full node log in every 4 months starting from ethereum's genesis block (about 3 years ago), the chain of logic you outlined terminates at the genesis allocation and PoW rewards.

I'm not saying that requiring clients to log in every 4 months is a reasonable security assumption, just showing that hand-waving it as "completely circular" is incorrect. It's more nuanced than that.

> Anyone interested - do your research

Any advice on sources you believe are credible?

Otherwise your advice to "do your research" on a topic that you admit is lacking in scientific evidence is not very helpful.
Judging from http://www.ucl.ac.uk/constitution-unit/research/foi/countrie... it is already not useful. However theoretically, yes. It is hard to discover which encrypted communications are potentially relevant, and if the officials in question are doing something wrong then they have no cause to cooperate.
