>>78 is tolerable with a breeze (and moderate humidity).

Maybe for you.... over 75 is not tolerable to me, I can not sleep at over 72 even if I have an industrial fan blowing over me....

My AC is set year round in my home to 68-70 and that is pushing it for me, In the winter my heat is set to 60-65

I love the cold, this is why I live in the Northern US and not Florida
I can second this, but it’s a full 8 hour day once per year when some spamassassin or amavis config breaks in an update... not to mention the normal sysadmin stuff of backups, verifying backups, logging, monitoring, et c. It’s a big project to run a mailserver. (Source: been doing so for 21 years.)
This is actually not a bad application, come to think of it.
I also managed email for a living and helped transition many enterprises to cloud email solutions.

It’s quite likely that other, unauthorized folks, are touching your mail system more frequently than you with such a lax attitude.

Definitely outsource your email unless you want the experience.

If you want security it seems reasonable to use ProtonMail.com instead of larger cloud providers like Google or Microsoft.
That's quite a good one. There are lots of these videos, in some places crowds attend to share the occasion with the cattle - nice event :)

> Your comment is absurd. People in the places you mentioned don’t choose to be without heat or air conditioning because they want to

Calm down, parent mentioned Europe as well. For example, from first hand experience, I can confirm that people usually don't have an AC in their homes and many office buildings in Germany; and they sure can afford it. It's usual to have outside temperatures above 30°C during German summers for a few weeks. In contrast to American homes, the usual European dwelling is constructed such that the inside temperature reaches 25°C only after a few consecutive days of heat. A fan is more than enough to survive that.
Mind if I ask what software you're using? I'm planning to do this soon, using qmail, just for the ability to have email integration with some personal project sites, and for the learning. I don't foresee discontinuing use of Fastmail for my personal email, but who knows.
I am sorry but this sounds stupid. You do not build non ac buildings with glass exteriors. You build them with bricks. Moreover you have windows for cross ventilation, high roof, shades over windows and thick brick walls elsewhere to keep the sun out.

Another, more scientific way could be to pump air through a 20-30 deep well so that it gets naturally cooled and use it to ventilate the building.
Thanks for the phrase "incessant overgeneralization" -- I didn't even realize I was looking for that. It seems that this is something the social sciences are inherently at risk of, given how closely the topics are to our everday lives.

Mine's a bit different though because I need to discard proxy server IPs that are flagged by cloudflare on target sites and only be left with those that work flawlessly. This should be done every couple of hours to ensure the 'freshness' of the proxy server IPs that I have.
Depends on many factors including soil type, water table height, drainage, etc.

In many instances it would cost you many many times more to build underground than any savings in heating and cooling do to the problems with underground building poses

In my area basements have continual problems with moisture penetration because we have high annual rain fall, soil that holds water, and high water tables making building under ground very very expensive and over 30+ years a continual maintenance problem for the owner
Damn, that's a really nice UI!
Fahrenheit makes sense for weather. 0° is really cold and 100° is really hot; most weather-related temperatures will fall within that range. 50° is chilly but manageable. 75° is almost in the sweet spot, while 25° is cold but not ridiculously so.

Compare with Celsius, where 0° is pretty cold and 100° is painful death (and also unprecedented as far as meterology goes). Even 50° is absurdly hot.

I'm all for using Metric units everywhere else, but they ain't exactly intuitive for weather reports.
> When will we start sacrificing to prevent climate catastrophe?

Never.

You want this changed? Figure out other energy sources. Nothing else will work.

The reason is that every individual has basically zero effect. So no one is motivated to make any changes.

> Everything else aside no President should be able to deny reality.

The President is irrelevant. He has very little on-the-ground effect. Maybe some media noise, which maybe might influence some. That's about it.

Either other energy sources are cheaper, or they are not. And that's about it.

A CO2 tax can't work unless it was implemented globally INCLUDING developing countries. (Which is a non-starter of course.) Because otherwise people will just ship industry and manufacturing elsewhere.

So there isn't much the president can do. I guess some subsidies, but there's a limit to how much of that you can do before they cause more harm than good.

Even if you store the data in the "cloud", you should still make backups! If the service doesn't allow you to make backups, then use another service! If the data is important, you should have backups! I know how boring backups are, but it can be fully automated. (if the data is very important you also want offline backups though) Just don't forget to test the backups at regular intervals, to see if it's possible to recover from a backup.
I'm pretty sure you're reading it wrong.

I interpret the comment as saying "it's premature to worry about (finding points in n dimensions where n is large)". This interpretation implies n is not large.

Not "it's (premature to worry about finding points in n dimensions) where n is large". This interpretation implies n is large, but that you don't care.

Translation Leak-Aside Buffer:Defeatin Cache Side-Channel Protections TLB Attack [pdf]
I disagree with the full time job. When you run it for yourself and your family it is not that much work (if you have to support lots of people, different story). Particularly if you don't have to deal with the hardware (VM). To me the biggest objection is cost, and technical complexity to set up.

For managing spam, I found that the best solution when you own your own domain is to give a different alias to anyone who wants your email and keep a record of the mapping (I had to create a little website that does that for me). If you start receiving spam, then just delete that alias (this is why the "+" alias feature in gmail not really useful, plus it leaks the underlying email). I use Smartermail, which runs on windows, and allows you to reply to an email from the alias it was sent to. This is a low maintenance, zero spam solution.

For patching, windows patches itself. You need to update smatermail manually though, so it takes about 10 minutes every month or so. I automated the renewal of certificates with letsencrypt.

The only thing that has been a source of worry and requires to keep an eye on is failed login attempts (I scripted it but it is worth monitoring). Once I had created a test email account with a weak password, and some spambot got access to it by bruteforcing passwords in smtp. Then it started sending tens of thousands of spam emails from that account, which got me on gmail's blacklist for a month, even if the whole event lasted less than one hour (smatermail notified me of the suspected spam activity).

After reading the paper that this article was based on, this article and title feel sensationalized. It's not that the evidence of loss aversion was wrong, or statistically invalid, but just may point to different underlying factors or psychological mechanisms.

However, this is just a couple of researcher's opinions, and tomorrow a response article may come out saying that loss aversion IS supported by evidence.

To me, this is the sign of a healthy science.
I believe most of the spam comes from your email address being leaked by a company or website. Not sure how what your TLD is has anything to do with it.
>>It's stories like these that reinforce my own justification for running my own email server.

The Windows licenses only matter when buying a Windows DVD without computer, they barely reflect on the whole computer price.

In fact in some stores that sell computers with FreeDos or Linux, the models tend to be more expensive than those with Windows.

ChromeOS by being a browser based OS, means all applications run in someone else's computer, no way to turn tracking off other than not using ChromeOS at all.

Likewise, what each Android model allows to turn off and what gets tracked depends pretty much on how each OEM has customized their Android version.
I highly recommend FastMail for a paid email provider. Their support staff is quick to respond, and it’s nice to be a customer instead of a product (i.e. pay for the service instead of getting it for free with ads)
From the fine article, he doesn't live in China any more... after they beat him and locked him away for a year and took away his passport. That's ignoring the forced confession, and several million in fines. Yeah, I'm sure he got out because he's rich and famous... and what he did was embarrass an official?

I like China and its people, but this argument doesn't make much sense. It's the last part (not the middle) that makes it impossible to fix corruption.
The article says an unknown group called "Soldiers in Tshirts" claimed responsibility and said that army snipers shot down the drones. But, the group didn't respond to interview requests and firefighters at the scene said it was a gas tank explosion at an apartment building.

The burn marks on the building look like a few stories tall and a few apartments wide. If it was an aerial explosion is seemed like a pretty big one.

Using radio spectrum detection methods is probably effective against the script kiddies of the drone world, but to sell the idea that this could defend motivated, funded attackers, operating with murderous intent, feels like The Illusion of Safety and a heaping spoonful of snake oil at best.

Serious combatants will not be using wifi/cellular 4G LTE drones they bought off the shelf at Best Buy. Or, I mean maybe they will be in the picture but as decoys, why not?

The point being, that obviously a kamikaze DJI drone is some simple simon nonsense, and I would not bet my life on a team of corporate product managers selling some agile/scrum developed MVP product line that relies on sniffing for consumer band radio telemetry.
There are a few companies working on drone detection and anti-drone technology. I believe Black Sage ([1], based in Boise) provides protection tech for military applications and for venues like sports stadiums.

If you don't mind windows, I can recommend smatermail. It does everything in a single package (smtp, imap, webmail). There is a free tier. There are also additional paid features, I pay for ActiveSync, mostly for the ease to configure a client to set up everything (contacts, calendar, emails). Plus they have a rest api so you can automate certain things.

I thought this was kinda fun, and I was trying to figure out why you couldn't just take a random x and use it to find a y that preserves x²+y²=r² (ie by setting y to a random number between 0 and ±√(r²-x²)). In the end I figured out that you need to generate x the same way, but if you have, say: n=rand(r), x=rand(±√(r²-n²)), y=rand(±√(r²-x²)) it seems to work.

Here's a version I extended to three dimensions, designed to be run in the JS console of the original article (it'll show up underneath the first sphere):

new SphereSimulation(document.getElementById("spheres1"), () => {
const rand = Math.random
const root = (x) => rand() < 0.5 ? Math.sqrt(x) : -Math.sqrt(x)
const invdist = (a=0, b=0) => root(RADIUS*RADIUS - a*a - b*b)

const x1 = rand() * invdist()

const x2 = rand() * invdist(x1)
const y2 = rand() * invdist(x2)

const x3 = rand() * invdist(x2, y2)
const y3 = rand() * invdist(x3, y2)
const z3 = rand() * invdist(x3, y3)

return new THREE.Vector3(x3, y3, z3)
})

It looks okay to me - am I missing something? Is this a reasonable approach?
Even if they don't block 25, most smtp server will increase the spam level if they receive an email from a dynamic Ip or and Ip which reverse DNS doesn't match the server name.

It entirely depends on what you have been raised on, the only reason there is no inherent reason with either scale as the why you consider 75 as the sweet spot but for me 20 is the sweet spot. Also, to say that it’s better because 0-100 is the range of most weather doesn’t make it better, most weather also falls in the range of 0-30degC.

Honest to God, mate, you're just comfortable using your system. That's fine, to be honest, but all this is invented justification. The intuitiveness of these units is overrated.
I could be misinterpreting your comment, but it reads like a broad misunderstanding of the role, economics, and value-add of contemporary publishing.

Here is a (now somewhat old) breakdown of per-article costs, contrasting open access and subscription journals: https://www.nature.com/news/open-access-the-true-cost-of-sci...

From my perspective the main values that an modern open access publication provide are primarily emotional labor: 1) herding cats: all those reviewers and editors that are volunteering are incredibly flaky and need to be hounded by phone, in person, etc. This can't be automated because everybody ignores bots. 2) resolving disputes. hopefully the median paper goes through the process smoothly, but any dispute involving prominent researchers will require dozens of hours of careful mediation, fact-checking, and follow-up. 3) generally being a responsible institution (not suffering fraud or embezzlement, planning for change over time, etc), which is valuable because humans don't have the time or capacity to judge every piece of content from scratch and fall back on reputation. All of these tasks require competent, savy, and highly trained folks, or the whole thing falls apart. Many in the old (subscription) world would say that open access publishers have already cut corners at $3k/article, and if you read around on the internet everybody complains about how long it takes to get responses or resolve disputes, so maybe they are right.

If these numbers sound totally bogus to you, maybe you should jump in to the publishing business and undercut everybody with superior service? Try writing a business model. As to whether we need publishing at all, i'd also try convincing researchers and authors to just post their results on blogs or wikis, which have zero barriers, require no new development, etc. I think authors/researchers value the services publishers provide, even apart from the whole branding/reputation/incentives game. Even pre-print repositories involve a degree of labor to review, moderate, and resolve disputes.

"automatically typeset using LaTeX" is only a norm in a few fields, which are all relatively well resourced and tech-savy. The fact that extra typesetting labor is involved in fields that don't use LaTeX might be one reason that pre-prints have been slower to take of in fields not covered by, eg, arxiv.org.

Another class of costly labor is copy editing and getting details right. This means things like tracking down every single citation and making sure they exist and are formatted correctly, spelling corrections, making graphs color-blind accessible, etc. This is hard to automate with current tooling; a lot of time and resources are currently being spent on next-generation open source publishing/manuscript pipelines to make this sort of thing more machine-verifiable, but it's going to be a long struggle to get authors (legitimately busy and distracted and over please-do-everything-this-new-disruptive-way-please-ed) to change their established field-specific workflows.
It sucks when you work on public open source code with internal forks.
The soldiers were probably not carrying live rounds and taking cover was the right thing to do.
That's a good point. In some social circles I've observed, it's become fashionable to have the latest contrarian research ready to cite for popsci topics. It seems like the new way to be well-read at a cocktail party.

Documentaries providing new narratives to cleanly refute the old ones - all the while promoting social awareness - seem to be very "in" these days.
The Ikea effect is a form of loss aversion. This alone shows that someone hasnt done their homework.

There are many more real life examples of loss aversion.

مرجعيتنا و .. لا .. خير بمن لا يَغضِب .. حينما يُغضبْ / جمال الطالقاني
Mail: personal domain with GSuite backed up by IMAP every day

Contacts: backup on multiple devices

Drive: full data on at least one hard drive at all times

Photos: use via Google drive instead of Google photos directly. That allows you to backup like any other data.

All of this must then be backed up off of the hard disk. Our lives are all digital these days. Memories, financial documents, important addresses and phone numbers - everything is digital. Treat it like you'd treat anything valuable.

Also, don't assume something catastrophic. Something as simple as a stolen credit card that you forgot to update in one service is enough to lock you out. Or a bug.
Start the transition by buying your own domain and starting to use it, notifying your correspondents. Run both for a while and once you are satisfied that only spam and stuff you don't care about still go to your gmail account stop using it (don't delete it, you don't want to risk it being re-allocated to someone else and that person accessing your recovery email on some forgotten service).

Once you own your own domain, you can move wherever you want whenever you want. The service you use is just a provider, no lock it other than the hassle.

So do you just stay inside all day because of AC? I blast the AC all day long at the office, in the car, and at home, but on the weekend I feel like getting out!

People are easy to scare. We will begin taking climate change seriously when we will see wide scale effects that threaten our own future. By that time, the impact on the natural world will be ireversibile and dramatic.
My bet is that the "mountain of evidence" is more specific and less generalizable than assumed.
