I am working on a non-profit that is utilizing Schuiling's research and is actually getting this project done. We are scouting beaches right now for a "wiggle" tank, which is a sort of see-saw like device where we can gather data to affirm the real world dissolution rate. The chemistry, however, is sound that each 1 ton of olivine will sequester 1.25 tons of carbon.

By the end of 2019 we hope to have our first olivine on the beach. The project will be funded by donations, but we will also be selling olivine/peridot jewelry that's price equates to actual tons of olivine we will dump on the beach. Raw olivine is currently ~$20-$25/ton and the average us person puts out 15-20 tons of CO2/year. The next closest technology for sequestering carbon is well over $150/per ton.

Terraform, certainly. It was a bit rough around the edges about a year ago but it's been getting really good. I've only been using the free cli version.

Number one advantage is that it's much better at telling you what's changing. For example, where CF will tell you it will change a security group, Terraform will tell you what specific rule it's going to update with what content. Terraform will tell you if it's going to have to wipe and replace an EC2 instance, or not, where CF will tell you it's 'conditional'.

Number two advantage is that you can go from any state to getting back to managing things with Terraform again. You can start with a hand managed setup, one created by CF, or one created with TF and then broken by manual modifications, you name it, there is a way to get it back to being managed with Terraform. Sometimes it's not easy, but it's always possible. With Cloudformation there are many things that can be done where the only fix is to delete the stack and create it again.

Then for the Serverless specific example, I recently replaced something that was deployed with that with Terraform. The Serverless deployment had some big problems because of Cloudformation, one was updating stacks with where Lambda functions needed interfaces in many VPCs, the other was some Cloudformation string limit issue where the only workaround was to delete the stack and create it again, which is super slow because of those network interfaces and there would be downtime while it's doing all this. With Terraform this went from being a risky deployment with potential downtime of many minutes, to Terraform only changing the resources that needed changing with each update, taking only seconds.
"Free speech" is a loaded term. In the US, you can't just say whatever you want without consequence, which is what lots of people seem to think "free speech" means.

Neither slander nor obscenity are protected by the First Amendment. Same goes for so-called "fighting words." Incitement of lawlessness is not protected. Incitement of suicide will likely be tested soon, but a lower court has ruled it is not protected.

And that's just a fraction of the types of speech not protected by the US Constitution.
I'm perplexed that the concept hasn't been applied to system administration already. I mean a few people have tried but most efforts are basically the same as 20 years ago.
Not exactly. The sharpest drop happened "thanks to" the financial crisis, and after that, it has been bouncing up and down depending on the year. The overall trend is downwards though. But not enough, by far.

Unfortunately, politics directly affects the safety, health, and livelihood of everyone.

People get sick die because of political decisions, and people gain great amounts of wealth because of political decisions.

People maintain comfortable places in society or remain in fully employed poverty because of political decisions.

There is very little in peoples' lives that aren't affected by politics.

If you're in a position for politics to not affect you because it's just an abstract topic of conversation, you're part of a privileged class of people who aren't being scrutinized and blamed because of your inherent, born qualities. Congratulations.

> Is this just a "distributed computing is hard" situation?

I think this is "gaming performance benchmarks and being right is hard".

MongoDB has spent a lot of effort on making sure it looks good in benchmarks, and that includes using worse defaults than any other distributed data-store I know of.

As long as MongoDB continues to wish to "win" at performance benchmarks by so much, they'll have trouble being able to provide a correct distributed system by default.
If someone compromises even a single internet-connected machine and can use it to compromise its own BMC, the BMC network is now internet-connected.
I don't buy that. This is a "slice of life" (slice of death?) piece telling a unglamorous but probably quite demographically representative about an older American getting pushed to their limit by a confluence of social factors. It's not a sensationalizing piece about someone jumping in public or some other sort of "blaze of glory" style suicide. Nor is it a headline - its in the NY region section, which people outside the region don't receive in print and probably don't click into online.
There was a seminal study in the US of twins who were adopted (and raised) by different parents.

This of course is an amazing natural experiment to see if genes or parenting is the cause of important personality traits.

The study "found that an identical twin reared away from his or her co-twin seems to have about an equal chance of being similar to the co-twin in terms of personality, interests, and attitudes as one who has been reared with his or her co-twin. This leads to the conclusion that the similarities between twins are due to genes, not environment, since the differences between twins reared apart must be due totally to the environment."

So, yes, genes clearly matter.

This is a very unfashionable finding currently in the US, but the science is clear.

I honestly would have to read up more on the arguments for the restrictions that are currently in place.

A problem with this whole discussion is that no one has the same definition of "hate speech"; it is too subjective of a term. We all (the majority) agree when it is wrong to declare imminent danger.

But like I said, I need to read up more on the rationale for those restrictions.
It absolutely is not broadcast as long as an algorithm is selecting posts for you. Air TV is broadcast. The radio is broadcast. Those platforms do not not selectively choose their audience to maximize engagement. There's no innocent one to many relationship here. Facebook actively gives extremist material to extremists because their robot thinks it will make them use the platform more. It's not the same message going to all subscribers. That is why they are responsible.
Any and all plants sequester carbon, and plants for all intents and purposes create all the wealth in the world. Everything else is just reusing existing wealth.

So, there is a ton of value to growing fruit and nut trees, not to mention hedge rows, vineyards, and other farmable plants, and then figuring a way to keep that carbon sequestered in the soil.
> Studies on happiness--as hard as that is to objectively study--show it is more closely related to social status than absolute and total consumption.

> In other words, the SUV or sports car apparently has more to do with making people happy by making them look to be of higher social status than the actual utility of those goods.

The first statement doesn't imply the second. Low social status can make someone unhappy, but that doesn't imply that consuming more doesn't make them happy.

In fact, I'm not even sure how much "materialism" is to blame for global warming. I know plenty of people who care more about "experiences" than "material goods" -- and in turn massively contribute to global warming by flying a lot. Equally, I don't view someone as wanting to live in a reasonably sized home in suburbia as necessarily materialistic, even though living there can introduce huge CO2 emissions from driving a lot.
It's not really the same, though, because a well-made HUD gives you infinite focal depth, so you're not shifting focus with it vs the road.

I've had very positive experiences with Mail-in-a-Box for exactly the sort of situation you describe. I think it's a great project that pulls together other packages very nicely.

I was fed up with configuring everything constantly and tuning this, that and the other. These sort of threads always seem to have plenty of people who have a bad time running their own mailserver (and of course your mileage may vary), but I don't really have to touch it at all.
Nope, I'm talking about the dedicated ethernet port used for BMC access on a server. You would be surprised how often those BMC ethernet ports are connected to networks that are behind firewalls, but still have egress connectivity to the public Internet.

This is one case where...

* If a person is suspected as missing in an area
* and family or other business associates
* file a missing persons report (and they SHOULD be able to do so)
* including contact details like a cell phone

They should be required to try ringing the phone number first, from a clearly marked public services line. It would be nice if it were impossible to be spoofed (might be the case for mobile?) and if the phone indicated it was emergency services contacting the owner.

If there isn't a response, all of the above should be glanced at by a judge to double check everything is in order and it isn't an attempt at violating someone's right to privacy. Who will thus approve a warrant for the local wireless data providers / service providers for their mobile to obtain it's present point of connection and address. Further that if it isn't within range at the time of checking, to get a history to see if it was since the last known / current known.
Not without the old taking measures to keep that from happening.

Probably the same as any fable or faery tale. It presents the idea that people are a product of their environment, which is a fairly easy concept to believe. Also when I said young, I meant like 5 or 6, I was not considering "evidentiary value." Though for what it's worth, my experiences have pretty much backed this up.

Unfortunately this isn't the case. The buses across the bridge from Hong Kong leave from the airport and take 40 minutes. You'll have to take another bus from the airport to the city at the cost of another 45 to 60 minutes.

When SO was new, there was incentive for people with expertise to contribute it. Now there is more incentive for Wikipedia-types to go around smashing others' contributions with their rejection hammers. It's a waste of time for those who actually have something to contribute.

> When I was a kid, I saw a full hooded KKK march on TV, and I said "why do we let them march?" and my mom said "because you have to hear from people you don't want to hear from to know free speech is working"

The point is, exposure of reprehensible ideas is part of free speech. The fact that we consume media differently today does not change this. Maybe the 21st century analogue is a kid asking their parents why Alex Jones is on YouTube (well, that example isn't possible anymore). Or why we let the KKK use Twitter. The medium is a detail, the point is explaining the value of free speech to kids.

The fact that kids may be interested of different ideas also has no relevance to this point. The situation here is when kids ask why certain ideas aren't banned and suppressed, the answer is because free speech entails tolerating the existence of said ideas.

OpenSSH is probably the single most secure piece of C network software. It isn't exactly a good example for "wide-spread vulnerabilities in middleware".
Commodore Hacking Issue 9 (1995)
I've worked with mostly smaller to mid-size companies and they often connect the dedicated BMC ethernet port to a network that is firewalled but still has egress connectivity.

That's why I disagree with the author's assertion that this type of attack vector is completely implausible. It's entirely plausible if the network operator has not firewalled egress connectivity.
> a possible biological or genetic basis for crime could be misconstrued as racism.

But what if it is isn't and it is something like impulsivity? I know someone who worked for a large state prison system for many years. They've observed one common trait of the majority of people incarcerated is that they are very impulsive. They react rather than think things through. Often they regret the crime, but could be too late by then [+].

However the same impulsivity is also a trait of someone we might consider a "hero". Say someone jumping into the river or a fire to rescue a person, a salesperson quickly responding to a customer need and so on. Someone quickly responding and standing up to a bully to defend someone being abused.

At the genetic level it could be the same low level drive, but family, society and culture have a chance of molding that into either something good or destructive.

[+] There is a lot to be said there for the society and the correctional system being punitive and not much correctional per se, and mental illness playing large role as well but that's for a different post perhaps.

I have mixed feelings about the ad market. Automated ads is a very nice business model, compared to trying to get users to pay for your content. Running ads basically automates your whole sales organization, you do not even need a sales organization. On the other hand, I forget what's the term in game theory, but it's a lose-lose game, where the one with the most ads wins, not necessary the one with the best product. - Forcing competitors to also spend money on ads. And because it's fully automated - it's easy money for bad actors.
Yes - this is clearly a bad idea that fails the common sense test. But it will add more assets, higher value, etc.

I'm nearly blind but no one else in my family is. So obviously eyesight isn't heriditary...

A single counterexample doesn't negate a discussion about probabilities and populations. I can find plenty of women taller than me, but I'm still taller than the average women (I'm a perfectly average height man). But my 6'4" female friend is not a counterexample to the claim that men tend to be taller than women, nor is my 5'2" male friend a counterexample from the opposite end.

You'll need more examples to go from anecdote to data and to show a countertrend.
Oh sure, but that's a WHOLE other thing. Last night I made potato soup for dinner. I peeled about 2.5 pounds of potatoes, and that was the only thing I specifically had in mind for "will this be enough portions of soup for the people I'm trying to feed" when I started, no measurements or ratios. Everything else was just me leaning on all my experience to make it taste the way I wanted.

That's a whole different style of cooking, and most people don't get there until well AFTER they learned how to cook something with a recipe (or someone telling them how many handfuls of beans to add to the pot).

Just think about what the stories will be like in 50 years with self-driving cars...
I cross it a few times each week. It isn't too bad—you get across in about 20 minutes at 70mph (speed limit is 65), assuming you're not in rush-hour traffic or there isn't an accident closing one of the lanes. Except in the case of extreme weather, compared to the rest of the GNO, it's a pretty safe drive.

There's a crossover every 3-5 miles (7 in total) that's staffed with (very active) Causeway-specific police, which makes the story about the "Botts Dots" pretty unbelievable at any time of day.

I wonder if there's going to be a cheaper, 'ad-supported' version.
Also, it's quite common that the BMC has a dedicated NIC, but also can use the main system NICs alternatively. A competent admin will turn that off (or not enable it, not sure what the defaults are), but why would code that has infected the BMC respect that setting? I don't see how it is enforced in a way the BMC can't circumvent.
I'd say it's reasonable to say that individuals in the Julia community have made an effort to make the project visible, though that's not to minimize the work itself IMO.

Julia is something which offers a solution to pain points in various long standing languages and since there are many individuals in the general data science space here (which Julia excels in), I would expect Julia to come up somewhat frequently.
The first self-driving car deployment could be someone who buys a single car and uses Uber and Lyft as pre-made customer-finding platforms. If self-driving cars become cheaper than humans by enough of a margin for cab companies, then quick movers with capital can work with Uber or Lyft to deploy a self-driving micro-fleet of their own. It would be a great way to park your money, a much cheaper version of buying lease properties or fast food franchises.
Mac OS has feature updates. Those were just two examples and it’s not just security.

>Hate speech specifically comes from a position and perspective of power.

That's not a universally accepted definition. You're simply asserting it to be true. It's very similar to the way the definition of 'racism' was contorted from a conceptually simple "somebody who hates someone based on their race" to "somebody who discriminates (usually in some abstract ill-defined, overbroad way) and who is part of some power dominance hierarchy (also arbitrarily defined) against a marginalized sub-group" or paraphrased: "If you're non-white, you cannot be racist". Sorry, you don't get a pass on that and you don't get to just assert this to be true. I also believe that this is a deeply immoral way of looking at the world.
