I'm a former organist myself, went through this some years ago before I got out of the business.

I was always disappointed that there wasn't more efforts like Marty Haugen's Holden Evening Prayer, which really does a good job of keeping the liturgical structure but updating it to use some new instruments and be applicable in some new ways.

I was always supportive of adding new and different music, in fact I spearheaded it in a lot of cases, but the further along we went the more the new music just seemed repetitive and empty. (I can't imagine what it is now, about 9 years since I last played a service.)

I think the absolute worst is Imgur on mobile. They display a large modal that takes up 95% of your screen so you can't even view the image you were linked to. They don't even hint that you're opting in to something when clicking the big green button to dismiss. And instead of giving you a button saying you do not consent, they force you to uncheck hundreds of checkboxes across four different pages. I actually had to find a different image host because I don't want to subject more people to imgur.

"Impressions" is a rather meaningless metric.

Interestingly, in dark web markets, it is often exactly the opposite scenario. No one wants USD and they all want crypto.
Suing is the easy part.

A friend did a non-lawyer "quick and easy" divorce -- mistakes were made. 10 years later he almost lost a house because his ex declared personal bankruptcy. It took some fancy lawyering for me to save it for him.

I did it gratis, but the same effort would have cost him ~$20K or more if he had to hire an attorney. Well, really, in his case, it would have been too late since he didn't even think it was an issue until he mentioned to me in passing on the last day before defaulting on the complaint.
Ah, thanks. I was worried there... I figured someone was up to something I didn't know about with HSMs!
You're not necessarily arguing directly against the other person, you're also playing the room. Every time you talk to someone who denies climate change is another chance to convince them and everyone who is reading of what you believe.

So in my opinion it's best to cite your own evidence regardless of how accepted your beliefs are by an establishment, rather than just saying the other side has the burden of proof. Whether or not this comes from a pre-curated set of talking points is up to you.
Of course there is, for companies with technology to reduce or reverse the carbon in our atmosphere there's a giant profit potential.

This of course balanced by the interests of those protecting their current cash flows in established carbon releasing industries.

>Use cases for USDC today include:

>Improved send and receive. Two Ethereum wallets can quickly send and receive any amount of USDC at any time of day. Large transfers for business purposes become as easy as small e-commerce payments. Consumers can use the Coinbase app to send USDC to someone, while remaining confident the value is stable.

>Use in dApps and exchanges. There is a burgeoning ecosystem of crypto dApps, exchanges, and blockchain-based games. A USDC follows the ERC20 standard, which means it can be used with any app that accepts tokens based on that standard. The USDC can thus be used as a stable digital dollar to buy items in the crypto ecosystem, from Cryptokitties to tickets for blockchain-based games.

>A programmable dollar. For developers and fintech companies, a digital dollar like USDC is easier to program with. For example, given the private keys for USDC, a program can easily send and receive them back and forth using the public Ethereum blockchain.

Ah yes because the _impoverished_ Democrats are fighting for the common man! It's only with the current administration that the "uber-rich" have taken over.

Give me a break. Partisan hacks are ruining political discourse, and framing everything as the end of the world isn't helping either.

The inability of the left to interpret the actions of the right as anything but _evil_ only makes people perceive them as more out-of-touch and pretentious. Studies have shown that rightists (for lack of a better term) are more analytical and understand the positions of the opposition better than those on the left.
I’ve never heard anything like that. As far as I know, the only difference between Uber and Lyft is in strategy (Uber being much more aggressive about expansion). Regardless, it’s likely Uber would be profitable right now, even without self driving cars, if they stopped expanding into new markets.
The Mystery of ‘Edwin Drood’ That Charles Dickens Left Behind
Ah interesting. While that's a bit disconcerting, it does offer some advantages. You get the flexibility of an ERC20 token, but the (potential) benefit of the consortium being able to give you back tokens that get stolen (blacklist theif's account, issue you new coins). Might be a good middle ground between the wild west/code is law state of crypto currency and the protections of traditional banking.

Story author is Nick Paumgarten. Staff writer at the New Yorker for 13 years. Seems to favour stories on sports talk radio, internet dating, a bit on the WEF (World Economic Forum). His Twitter (grand total of 20 tweets) has a mugshot of a motorcycle.

Not what I would consider to be a credible authority on economic theory or cryptocurrencies. I'll take this story like I have most from the New Yorker: cursory homework done by an upper middle class person who was born and raised on the US northeast coast.

We are though. Most people I talk to don't know that the US peaked CO2 emissions ten years ago and it's been falling every since - in per capita, per GDP, and absolute terms.

While the specifics are new, the issue of churn and waste in advertising very much isn't. John Wanamaker famous quote, “Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is I don't know which half" is from the 1900s.

True. ASA still makes them but I suppose the only reason they're still made is that it's been considered standard classroom equipment for the past 70 years, combined with the well known universal dislike for change in the aviation world. I don't know anyone who kept using the E6B after getting licensed.
Transportation is only 14% [0] of greenhouse gas emission, and passenger cars are about half of that. While driving less can help, even reducing it to zero won't prevent serious climate change. So we need other solutions as well.

Has Alex Jones stopped his podcast? Has his sites shutdown? Have people how believes what he believe changed their minds? Sure, fewer random people are exposed to him, so? They'll find someone else to follow that says the things they want to hear.

I suppose it depends one what you goal with deplatforming is. If it's convincing people that the ideas that people like Alex Jones and organisations like Black Lives Matter (they're in the article as someone who have similarly been affected) are wrong or hateful then I think it will fail.
So, (if the definition is so clear) do you think claiming capital punishment should be legal is hate speech, as the person I was originally replying to has claimed elsewhere in this subthread?

Did you read the article? The entire point of the thing is to talk about crypto from the perspective of someone who doesn’t know much about it at the outset.

He investigates it and reports back, as a proxy for the reader.
Well that brings up an interesting question: is the US at war with ISIS? I know Congress authorized action against the Taliban and Al Qaeda and maybe that's all that's needed to go after other groups.
If we follow this reasoning, a statement like "Nazis deserve to die." would be hate speech.
I didn’t really find Rust especially hard to learn. I came from Python with a very beginner level experience in embedded C.

The hardest part is probably to stop yourself from trying to applying solutions you learned in other languages into Rust. I caught myself multiple times trying to put things into python style classes, which failed horrible each time. The moment you grasp how to do things the rust way you will end up with solutions that are most likely more elegant, safe and fast than the thing that you tried to do first.

Over time (a few weeks) I managed to get a good enough intuition on Rusts concepts of ownership to not having to constantly think about it.

There's a lot of EM that neither chlorophyll nor existing PV can use. Hopefully a sunshade would be chosen that selectively works on those less-useful bands.

That's terrific. I'm sincerely happy for you that you're fortunate enough to be in a comfortable enough place in society that hate speech isn't an obstacle in your life.

However it seems as though your idea of a free society doesn't extend freedom to people for whom hate speech is a much greater obstacle.
Yes! To me, that sounds similar (or one step further) to dev/ops folks exclaiming "Docker!" at the mildest trouble with builds / CI / isolation.

After spending time with Docker, I like it when it's deserved, but my first reaction is one of "Uh, it's one more layer, it will bring new tooling and required knowledge and error conditions, let's only do it if we have to".
Reminds me of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNVJFRl6f6s

Some people are just on a whole other level.
This doesn't sound relevant to carbon fixation:

"Witches, Midwives, & Nurses, first published by the Feminist Press in 1973, is an essential book about the corruption of the medical establishment and its historic roots in witch hunters. In this new edition, Barbara Ehrenreich and Deirdre English have written an entirely new chapter that delves into the current fascination with and controversies about witches, exposing our fears and fantasies. They build on their classic exposé on the demonization of women healers and the political and economic monopolization of medicine. This quick history brings us up-to-date, exploring today's changing attitudes toward childbirth, alternative medicine, and modern-day witches."
That helps with reducing emissions (modulo inefficiency) but since we're already past the point where that was sufficient, we still need to sequester additional carbon without burning it.
Yep, that's true. Since the Android + iPhone ecosystems came aroud most went to just having USB-A ports, and now some are doing USB-C.

I know some Tesla models include a phone dock but the actual cable is interchangeable and just goes back to a normal USB-A port in the console.
Another major issue is the removal of mangrove ecosystems which are great at long term deposition of carbon (mostly driven by shrimp farming).

Our company is working on these issues by trying to reduce demand for meat and seafood by creating alternatives to it, but I think the problem is so large it needs to be tackled from multiple angles. As you term it both Phase I and Phase II type solutions.

What worries me is that the Phase II type solutions are going to be mostly a political problem at least much more than they are technical problems, and political problems are much harder to fix than technical problems where the solutions can be market driven rather than based on international consensus. I think with enough creativity most Phase I type solutions can be market driven and be accomplished without achieving consensus.
we need a black mirror-esque social credit score system where based on the individuals revenue, and what corporation they work for they have a 'tree quota' they need to fulfill. this could be hours volunteered at a global tree planting foundation, $$ donated to public works companies who plant the trees. I suppose if someone only made a small amount of $ and hid the rest behind their corporation , corporations would also have to be responsible in the system and donate $ to plant trees. website would be something like tree.global ... we need some way to tie all the world (or atleast continents) together under one government, a .global domain name or something.

EDIT: after reading other comments on how trees arent the greatest solution, replace trees with the best option and tie it to a continent wide / global wide black mirror credit score system.
Yes. It reduces emissions but does not sequester carbon (unless you bury it and don't burn it).
> Baseboard management controllers or BMCs are active on crashed or turned off servers. They allow one to, for example, power cycle servers remotely...This line from the Bloomberg is technically inaccurate because a powered off server’s storage with its sensitive code has no power and cannot be accessed. We have discussed two patently false technical details in the Bloomberg article.

Er... couldn't a hypothetical backdoor BMC chip... turn the server back on? And then off again when it's done?
Echo chambers aren’t what’s polarizing America
Its sequestration efficacy is not well-established yet. I think that more experiments should be run to better quantify the effects. Some environmentalists oppose even additional research-scale trials. Some proponents of iron fertilization have internalized "some environmentalists oppose this, and efficacy still has large error bars" as "it probably works great but technophobic environmentalists want us to suffer deprivation instead."
> This does sound like you are, again, saying there are circumstances where contributing "back" is legally required

NOPE. The context is the original posters words. We are talking about that and I am saying that contributing back doesn't happen magically because of the GPL.

I suggest you learn to keep the context of the argument in mind rather than keep focusing on being pedantic.

I am done with this conversation now.
That would be Seafile (https://www.seafile.com). Has a desktop sync client (like Dropbox), a Web interface which has all kind of useful features (like upload-only links) and a mobile client which actually works.

A doctor will totally say that if you're asking them for advice without an examination (e.g. if they're replying to a comment on a public forum). Even telemedicine suffers this problem; there's any number of situations where they'll refer you to an in-person doctor.

Also the laws around lawyers & doctors are different whereas most other professions do not have similar laws. Not surprising these professions all deal with similar situations differently then.
> Wouldn't the auction of stablecoins basically have to be at face value?

Almost certainly not. They would trade at a premium or discount, depending on a number of factors.
There's some other downsides of course, but RAID1 basically gets you exactly that. Double price for much lower failure rate of the storage volume. Go with different manufacturers for the two drives to further reduce the failure rate at the probable cost of a little performance and space.
Why not build houses from trees that will take carbon out 100-200 years from cycle.

Complex: Nextcloud [1] Simple: Chroot SFTP + lftp [2]

Nextcloud encrypts each users files, so you can let your friends use it too.

SFTP is simpler and must faster to set up and much lighter weight. You could create accounts for friends, but it's up to them to encrypt their files at rest.

Both are self hosted. Nextcloud requires a bunch of dependencies, or using their docker image. SFTP is already on any linux VM you spin up.

>I think the onus is on those who would silence debate to prove the immediate harm they are advocating isn't the worse alternative.

We've always relied on editorial control for the most part in all of our mediums to make sure that the information being disseminated is reasonably accurate and fit for public consumption. It's not a fascist idea and has absolutely nothing to do with fascism or any type of propaganda for any political party. There's no need to be so absurdly hyperbolic over what is quite frankly, a common sense mechanism when dealing with the proliferation of ideas.

We know that disinformation spreads faster than the truth on several new, internet media platforms these days. The onus is on the people who would so eagerly disregard common sense filters that have been time tested, for them to prove that the danger and harm currently being caused by this new wave of disinformation in every single subject matter will be worth it now, tomorrow, and for the foreseeable future. Take the following:

* Vaccines, health.

* Environment

* Economics

* General politics.

In which subject are the ideals your espousing helping us? Because in each of those subjects I can point you towards real life, damaging consequences that have come about because of unfettered Bad (TM) ideas that spread over modern mediums.

This isn't a theoretical problem. It's happening right now, today.
Isn't that ok, though?

If I build a building out of wood, or print a book in a library, that carbon is sequestered at least as long as the building or book exists.
Depends. Are the ads direct or banding? Coke ads to have you buy offline for example, the sales are not so easily tracked.
That's not actually true. If you attempt to send a transaction from Coinbase to an address they have blacklisted they will immediately suspend your account. You will be allowed to withdraw your funds before the account is closed.
When you're dealing with anything involving more than a few zeroes, those edge cases are the point of hiring lawyers, because those edge cases are usually what lawsuits turn on.

Living Out in Faith
I've been social on the internet since the early 90s, and it's been a wonderful place for most of it. Before it became so egalitarian, the people adept at socializing on it were pretty left leaning or downright libertarian. Now everyone is in on it, so we're getting confronted by parts of society we could pretend didn't exist 10 years ago. I don't know why I didn't see it coming.

There's a can/should debate hidden in here. Tech companies totally can police hate speech (or any kind of speech) on their platforms, thanks to handy things like a ToS. Whether they should is a cultural question about what kind of a society we want to have. If history has taught me anything, it's that the can side of the debate wins in the long run.
That seems like a highly questionable statement demanding some evidence. Perhaps you meant if they retrenched into existing markets while raising prices and laying off all of their business development staff?
