What's happening here is a market problem: ammonia fertilizer is way more profitable to sell (due to high demand and low elasticity of demand) than carbon dioxide, and they come from the same feedstocks, so chemical producers make it instead. Lower supply -> price goes up -> consumers don't want to pay high prices -> effective shortage -> articles like the OP.

There is literally no known chemistry that would practically be able to deplete the trillions of cubic meters of air over Europe of carbon dioxide. Please read up on atmospheric physics so you can understand why some contrails persist while others, at different altitudes, disappear almost instantaneously. Don't bother replying to me, either, as I have flagged you as a troll.
It doesn't necessarily follow from "the airframe isn't the most expensive part" that you still wouldn't want an improved airframe.

The F-16 isn't stealthy (terrible in fact), and the F-22 isn't well suited as a strike bomber - its weapon bays are too small.

In fact, the F-35's single engine design works well in providing enough space for weapon bays, while still keeping the aircraft fairly compact.

If you had zero intent of making anti-gravity skateboards, they would have criminal recourse. If you had every intent but were marketing the impossible, they may have civil recourse. Not everything can be disclaimed away. Pre-orders, moreover, are regulated in many states.

Emails were being exchanged, to what extent? Could you email anyone in the world in 1972? No, like two people could e-mail each other. It's not like you had Gmail or even AOL in 1972.

Yes, email was used for business purposes in the 80s...but it took a long, long time for the internet to reach mass adoption and maturity. Decades.

Meanwhile, Ethereum was launched in 2015. Unless you think the tech has hit an evolutionary dead end...that it's not going to go any further, I think it's incredibly ignorant to criticize this nascent technology based on where it's at today.

And adding to that that the only nation to use it in combat so far is Israel and they seem to like it (they are the only nation to increase their order after using it in theater) and despite theirs being heavily modified I would err on the side of caution swallowing these gloomy statements that seem to have more problems with the politics and funding of the program than with the jet itself.

The same things were said about the F16 in it’s early days.
And in fact it was the IAF that proved that it was suited for both long distance combat sorties and old school bomb sights bombing runs when they used it to take out the Osirak nuclear reactor in Iraq which proved many F16 critics at the time wrong.

The truth is that these days no replacement for a fighter jet would be that much superior to what it’s replacing not because it’s poorly designed but because what it’s replacing has had 40 years worth of improvements and refinements.

Block 70 F16s have nearly nothing in common with the original fighting falcon there likely isn’t a single part that is even interchangeable between them.

That said the F16 unlike the F35 doesn’t have another 40 years it’s air frame has already been stretched (literarily) beyond its limits so we do need a new platform regardless of its growing pains.

And for people criticizing the F35 over its low order numbers well they are low compared to the F16 but the F16 has been in service for 40 years and introduced during essentially the largest arms race the world has ever seen aka the Cold War.
> "Although not explicitly stated, it will also allow for the patentability of medical diagnostics and innovative pharmaceuticals"

The notion that patents are promoting pharmaceutical innovation or improved medical outcomes is absurd at this point, there are medications that are being excluded from the market because they can't be patented despite being well known and in use for decades, while other medications are being brought to market solely because someone managed to obtain a patent.

For example Prilosec, which was discovered in 1979 and has been marketed since 1989, is a racemic mixture of (S)-(-)omeprazole and (R)-(+)omeprazole. For an exceptionally simple analogy of what that means: hold your hand in front of your face vertically with all of your fingers together pointing straight up. Now point just your thumb sideways instead. Same hand, same thumb, different configuration, only one of which would fit through the sleeve of a dress shirt. (S)-(-)omeprazole is the one that actually fits, and your body turns (R)-(+)omeprazole into (S)-(-)omeprazole, which causes it to eventually fit as well.

Prilosec is now generic and long past the patent term which expired in 2001, is well understood and is on the WHO list of essential medicines.

Nexium on the other hand, is (S)-(-)omeprazole by itself, and was able to immediately enter the market when the Prilosec patent expired because the same company patented Nexium 2 years before that happened.

Nexium is essentially just Prilosec with an active ingredient removed (the (R)-(+)omeprazole form) rather than added or altered. They claimed it was an improvement over Prilosec, and were able to market it as another more expensive drug, but even that improvement was somewhere between questionable and fabricated according to their own studies.

Only 2 out of the 3 studies used by AstraZenica showed an improvement over Prilosec, and they compared 20mg-40mg of Nexium to 20mg of Prilosec, which means they just doubled or quadrupled the dosage of (S)-(-)omeprazole, because 20mg of Nexium is 20mg of (S)-(-)omeprazole, while 20mg of Prilosec is only 10mg of (S)-(-)omeprazole. You could do the same thing by taking 2 Prilosec capsules instead.

And that patented decision to remove an active ingredient while misrepresenting the research to justify it was somehow not only "innovative" but should be treated as "private property"?

Nonsense.
Thank you for your feedback.

Why would it be so hard to enforce? Treat the problem, not the symptom. If the problem is that people leave scooters in the middle of the sidewalk, pass a code that says scooters blocking a thoroughfare will be impounded. Don’t mandate to the companies where their property must be stored, let them know where it can’t be stored and hold them accountable thusly.

If Bird had to pay a fee to get scooters out of impound, I’m sure it would find a customer-friendly way to encourage its users to keep the scooters out of impound to begin with.

It seems like this problem is already solved with cars. If you leave a car in the middle of the street, it will get towed. Then the registered owner has to pay a fee to recover it. No worrying about whether to give a ticket to the last driver, or the owner, etc.

In this example, an EC private key is made up of 256 bits of "randomness". Nearly every 256-bit number is a valid ECDSA private key.

However, an RSA private key is made of up specific numbers like a modulus, private exponent, etc that contribute to its length. In principle this is all you need. But usually other generation parameters are included that speed up calculations for the Chinese Remainder Theorem.

When it comes to network bandwidth, the number one concern relates to the symmetric algorithm used for
message encryption and Message Authentication Coding (MAC) for integrity checking (this is unrelated to
the choice of RSA versus ECC). Smaller embedded systems may start sessions more frequently, or the
asymmetric authentication may be a larger percentage of the overall traffic and the size of the keys and
signatures can make a difference. At the 128-bit security level, public keys and signatures are six-times
larger for RSA than for ECC. Private keys are 12-times larger for RSA compared to ECC at the 128-bit
security level. The key size generally has no impact on performance, but size matters when it comes to the
cost of secure storage of the keys.

The trick is that convolutional neural nets operate on multichannel images. Your intuition that the synaptic weights form point spread functions is correct, but you have to remember that the activation of each neuron depends on a sum of point spread functions, one for each channel in the previous layer.

I like to think of 1x1 convolutions as pixel wise dense layers

Here’s a toy example of a useful 1x1 convolution: you could convert a color image to greyscale by doing a 1x1 convolution with the kernel (.33, .33, .33)
I hope this won't be controversial, but last year I made a single page website to try and dissuade people from voting for the Conservative Party in the UK (we had a General Election in the UK in June 2017).

The site is no longer online because the site's purpose is no longer relevant (the Conservative Pary unfortunately formed a minority government after the General Election). However, I did extract two sections from my website and published them on medium.com:

UK General Election 2017: Why we need to change our method of voting

https://medium.com/@dontvoteconservativeuk/uk-general-electi...

UK General Election 2017: Coverage in the media

https://medium.com/@dontvoteconservativeuk/uk-general-electi...

The website (and medium.com articles) had absolutely no effect whatsoever.

I thought I had made the site as fair as possible. I deliberately avoided linking to any left-leaning newspapers such as The Guardian and The Independent. (I linked only to news reports from The Telegraph - a Conservative Party supporting newspaper.) I linked to figures and research from independent, third-party organisations. None of this mattered.

When I shared the site on some politics forums, the reaction from Conservative supporters was negative. One poster even said it had strengthened his resolve to vote for the Conservatives even more!

What did I learn from the experience? That you can't persuade people with facts, no matter how dispassionately you present them. Especially on political stories. This is true whether you lean to the left or the right or the centre ground. It's kind of stating the obvious really and you see such behaviour everywhere online, including Hacker News (and yes, I'm just as guilty of such behaviour).

As Brexit looms in the UK, I'm thinking of creating a new site. This be very different from my previous site: loud, screaming headlines (much like our national newspapers), more sound-bites, and less detail because, let's be honest, that's what makes people sit up and take notice. Does that make me a hypocrite? Very possibly. If you can't beat them, why not joint them?

There's absolutely no scientific basis at all for chemtrails.

What? This is nonsense alternate history.

The early Internet had active, useful messaging long before anyone thought it would be useful for "retail". The arrival of commercial spam on Usenet was a shock to everyone. And personal websites came before the dot-com craze.
The distinction between investors investing actual money, and employees who are comped with equity is is not a fiction.

Investors are in a totally separate class for so many reasons, and it's why there are distinctions in the type of equity they get.

The market for both talent and capital is very liquid and there really aren't that many secrets - so the current equilibrium between capital and talent is a function of the reality of market dynamics, not some sort of 'secret marketing magic' that VC's use. Although on a case by case basis, there's going to be some leveraging by VC's on some level, one could argue the corollary is the number of completely-full-of-crap 'founders' who are full of rubbish, some of them not even aware they are, or who are simply not aware of the real amount of risk they are offering. Silicon Valley is full of people who are making things for companies that will fail, and are therefore taking huge salaries at the expense of capital.

In fact, VC as an asset class is kind of a loser overall, globally - and almost all of the returns go to the top handful of funds, so one could argue that it's the mid-to-long tail of VC's that are the 'chumps' in the equation, because they're literally losing money while staffers making 'stuff that nobody wants' are walking away with small fortunes in salary for which there was no ROI.

So 'investors' are different than 'employees who take equity as comp' - and the 'power balance' between them can favour one side or the other, even as this clear distinction remains.

Info about dealing with legacy code:
https://www.legacycode.rocks
I love this explanation because when I started thinking of it this way it blew my mind in ways that no other physics concept has. It's something that truly sounds crazy except that as far as I know it is a valid interpretation. (Layman here.)

We think of time being this thing that just moves forward around us, and we can't stop it, time just goes.

But in this interpretation, it's us who are falling through time, literally.

I find that fascinating because it changes entirely how I think about the universe. I used to think of the "big bang" as a big explosion of little balls of energy (quarks, electrons, whatever) that eventually coalesced into matter, when enough time had passed and there was enough room for things to cool down. The part that I never understood before this interpretation is how "enough time could pass", when time itself was also supposedly expanding.

But in fact with this interpretation, which I guess is probably more correct (?), space and time simply exploded and began expanding.. which is what we're told but it's hard to picture, exactly. But if you think about energy always moving at the speed of light, and initially all of it flying off in the same direction (time), then matter becomes those particles which were somehow slightly diverted onto the spatial axes -- momentum is conserved, just redirected. And if you think about particles being ripples in fields of non-zero constant energy, an interactions between the fields causing ripples to bump away from each other in non-time directions which we describe as space, this whole relativity thing, and the fact that electric field particles (photons) do not have mass and move at c, starts to make a bit of sense.

It's crazy to think that what we perceive as time passing, the very possibility of things happening, is actually an emergent property of simple geometry and interactions of pure energy.

The way I visualize it is: start two marbles rolling towards each other down an inclined slope. They bump, and bounce off in opposite directions on the X axis. Now imagine there is no table. Would the marbles "feel" anything in the vertical direction? Or would they only feel something in the horizontal direction? Time, for them, emerges from the fact that they can get closer, bump, and move off in the other direction. The other axis, which they are both moving very quickly in, they have entirely in common and they might agree with each other that it is simply a stationary frame which allowed the "bump" to happen. Same for us falling, unrelentingly and unstoppably, through time. (Maybe?)

Generally speaking, if my things get stolen, "it was stolen by X and not Y" is not a value-adding rebuttal. It is actually counterproductive if X (e.g., a cryptocurrency thief) is harder to gain recourse against than Y (e.g. an FDIC-insured bank).
