I am really grateful for the text you mentioned, but it did not change my opinion on this technology as a carbon removal technology, it only confirmed what I understood. However, it is very well written and I will probably reference others to it whenever I can. The only minor mistake I could detect was a "boron" when clearly carbon was intended. If you have a similar quality text detailing the relevant parameters of adding carbonated rocks to counter the acidification I would be interested.

I was discussing the claimed carbon removal aspect, so I now disregard the acidification aspect...

In my analogy I stand corrected and should have stated that the bottle of water represented the surface seawater, since there is no free fast oceanic mixer. The surface water is equilibrating much faster with atmosphere than the whole water column of the ocean.

You defend the technology by mentioning that the average residence time is about 200.000 years, but that is for all inorganic carbon across the whole depth of the ocean, not just the surface layer! As you say there is not enough mixing, so dissolved inorganic carbon in surface seawater has a much shorter residence time. The long residence time is dominated by the slow movement of deep sea water...

So unless the proposal is augmented with either a huge oceanic mixer, or with dumping the carbonate over the mariana trench (if it dissolves there, it will take a long time before it reaches atmosphere again), lacking these augmentations we are dissolving carbonates in surface seawater, and the carbonate ions can equilibrate back to CO2 so it really is just emissions foisted of as capture...

If it stays in the solid say calcite CaCO3 state as opposed to being dissolved, then it does not affect the alkalinity of the surface water...

Honestly, a lot of my coworkers don’t really talk about their singular partners either.

I maintain that discussions of such nature have to clear a “need to know” bar at work. There’s a lot of discussions about my relationship I’d be perfectly willing to have with friends that I would not discuss at work.

Regardless, you absolutely should not be mentioning your relationship status in any way during an interview. Single, married, poly, whatever.

Yes...ish. That's the correct pronunciation, but neither are used frequently enough for me to be confident that's the actual pronunciation, and I'd wager it's different in different places.
I like it, although it eat my cables and gets stuck. There's potential but it's far from perfect. It finds a lot of dust.

To be honest, the worst part is emptying the dustbin,which i need to do every 2-3 days.

But i forgive it whenever I see it find it's way back to the charger. It's magic.
I really want to see Tesla succeed. Not because I'm a huge Tesla fanboy, but because I'm an EV fanboy.

If Tesla fails and goes bankrupt, I think other car companies will take it as a signal that EVs are not viable in the market and will abandon any plans to make an EV, and we'll stuck with ICEs for at least another decade.

> It will be interesting to see new developments as other players get in

I'd really like to see more competitors in the performance market. AFAIK, Tesla the only manufacturer producing a true EV (Not a hybrid) that goes 0-60 in under 4 seconds.

I love smaller, lighter, more agile cars. I'd love to get a 2-door EV sporty coupe, but the Roadster is my only option there at $200k. I'd probably be satisfied with the performance of a Model 3, but it's a full-sized sedan, and I like my more compact cars. I drive a BRZ right now, which despite being quite small, still barely fits in my garage. I also really dislike Tesla's design choice to eliminate dash boards and mechanical buttons for things like climate controls in favor of large touch screens that suck to use while driving.

Hopefully as Tesla builds up, other car companies fill the market with more options.

And hopefully they make them compatible with Tesla's charging network. I'd really hate for public charging infrastructure to end up fragmented due to competing standards. If I understand things correctly (And please correct me if I'm wrong), Tesla made their patents public a couple years ago so that this wouldn't become an issue.
it's almost like someone at Monsanto thought this approach might allow them to sell 5000 times more chemicals too. pretty lucky cooincidence they got there after all that science happened to show them that this is the most effective approach to solve world hunger (how is that going btw?)

This seems like an example of the naturalistic fallacy.

Why assume that food with the optimally healthy composition of nutrients exists in nature? People can survive just fine without being maximally healthy.
Anecdotal evidence would suggest that "really smart" people have some lacking in other areas most commonly social skills. It can be tough working alongside this kind of person when they constantly think they are working with "lesser" people whether that's based on knowledge/skill or race/sex.

not just weird, I found it creepy too. If I was being profiled and added to some public list, without my knowledge, that would make me extremely uncomfortable, however noble the intentions are.
I think it comes down to availability, and anyways it's probably a wash danger-wise considering that people who are dying from using these aren't taking normal doses. Methamphetamine is a prescribable drug (at least in the US) itself, so I imagine there's a "safe" dose for that too.

The strongest association with AD and PD is obesity. Now, in itself obesity is often the results of lifestyle habits. So, is one of those habits the culprit? Or is does more body fat leads to more bio-accumulated toxins?
> A pragmatic wealthy person in this scenario should see wealth redistribution as a wise investment, not a cost, seeing as the "let them eat cake" alternative is less desirable if you like to keep your head.

This seems like a false dichotomy in that (for the foreseeable future) we have other options, like retraining people whose jobs have been automated away. This is strictly better (read "less invasive" and "more economically efficient") than wealth redistribution programs [^1].

[^1]: To avoid the motte and bailey fallacies that accompany poorly-defined or otherwise ambiguous terms such as "redistribution", I'm referring to the typical redistribution programs which take wealth from one group and give it to another group with no net increase in economic productivity. These are the kinds of programs which are controversial and objectionable.
What Happens When a Country Bans Spanking?
Thank you for the feedback!

Agreed the term "extroverted introvert" is not most clear. What I tried to express in this post is "even though social interactions can be draining to me, I'm comfortable being outspoken and actively participating in discussions, which gives me an advantage in the work setting," so most similar to (2) in your description above.
Is that really easier than just not sexually harassing people?
As a person who has struggled to afford dental care over other life expenses I would strongly believe that the Mercury only stays in place in optimal conditions. I had a chipped tooth which I didn't treat right away which lead to the tooth decaying. Then it cracked in half. There was a filling that was split in half during this. It was a month later before I could afford work on the tooth. I don't know if that filling had Mercury or not but if it did, my mouth was definitely exposed to it.
I think some people have listened to hysteria about softer drugs like marijuana or psychedelics or softer uppers and looked at the histrionic warnings and contrasted those things to their own experiences, realized that some of the 'you're going to die instantly if you try this ___ once' fearmongering is false, and then assumed that all drugs have had the same overblown fearmongering. So they say 'well if marijuana isn't actually that harmful to me and I can control myself and not overdo it, then cocaine probably isn't that unhealthy or addictive to try once'. And after they get used to the idea of taking cocaine or MDMA in a more casual manner and feel they have control and can take it sparingly, they might end up with the same conclusion that 'this isn't that bad right?' and then decide the warnings about something like meth or heroin are probably overblown.
It seems you've been triggered. Perhaps as a vocal minority pushing an agenda, apparently all the time ("since forever"), who has taken offence at someone elses free speech you should just use the block button that you have.
Your probably right. I think I was subconsiously biased by my linguistics background, as sementic gender and syntactic gender need not agree, so I don't consider the choice of pronoun to nessasarily imply a choice of meaning.

I can see how someone with a naive view of gramatical gender would disagree. (Actually, the fact that transgender people so consistantly change pronouns is somewhat problamatic to the prevailing linguistic thinking. I have never seen a fully satisfying account of why this happens. The best I have seen is that it is a sort of meta-linguistic social signal that the speaker accepts the transition, which does seem to fit nicely with calling it a form of political correctness).

I still see a difference in usage where the modern usage implies offensiveness; whereas the older usage implied a disagreement in policy. Eg, saying gender is determinex at birth could be PC in the classical sense because of, say, a policy allowing people to change the indication on their license, or psrticipate in other-gender's activities. Unless you want to claim that the taboo of mispronouning people is to support this type of policy (which it does do), then it wouldn't really fit. Although it is a very reasonable bit of sementic drift to include this in the classical meaning.
>my understanding was that in the realm of source code "by default" you only have rights to use that source code through a license or contract

No, not at all, and this is a key difference between OSS licenses and EULAs. By default "you" (the entity in question, which may be an individual human or legal organization) have the right to use lawfully acquired source code for absolutely anything you wish. What copyright governs is distribution (either of the copyright works or any derivatives, except for exemptions made by Fair Use in places that have such a legal concept). So if I just put source code up for my program and make it freely available and nothing else, then by default you may download that and run it or hack it up or whatever else you want, just as if I gave you a book I wrote you'd be free to mark up the pages or tear some out and reorder it or whatever. You don't need the copyright holder's permission for any use of it.

What you do need permission for is to then share any of that on. So standard open source created a fair and thus very strong quid pro quo essentially: someone is offered additional rights beyond what they'd have by default via a license that requests they do some task in consideration related specifically to that copyrighted work (for some licenses it might only be indemnification from liability and maybe giving credit somewhere, for copyleft it means applying the license to any derivative works as well). There is no click through or "by using this you agree to..." there, your acquisition of the source is entirely separate from a later choice to distribute the source. No license is needed for use, but if you don't agree with the license and don't get another one then you have no right under copyright to distribute [1].

Anyway that's a simplified basis for the theory behind OSS. It's founded in the simple and straightforward application of copyright law and contracts, and it's fundamentally quite fair to all parties and has a very limited and directly related to the work aim. As the article says the further away one tries to get to that the more complex and iffy things can become and the easier it may be to include something that is legally challengeable. Copyright is open source's hammer, but not every aspect of technology is a nail.

1: Note that in practice this can at least theoretically get sticky if you're a programmer in a related field (as so many on HN are) rather then a random user, because having read the source code if you then down the road wrote something that looked the same it could be claimed it was derived which is then a huge pain to fight about. For non-high profile areas it's unlikely it'd ever come up, but the future is hard to predict in that area of life so many ethical or just cautious programmers would be careful about looking at source that wasn't open source.
The same applies to situations wherein one person might have rank over the other.

It's common, and it does not imply some kind of harassment or coercion.

That Andy Rubin may apparently be bad guy does not invalidate people's right to have such relationships, nor does it make them inherently immoral.
In a modern matrix organization with shifting project assignments it's not always clear who is a subordinate. Some employees may have formal or informal "dotted line" responsibilities to multiple managers, all of whom can impact their career.
Government has no incentive to do anything about this. They would prefer disgruntled, jobless people keep themselves in a drug induced stupor to people getting angry at their government stabbing them in the back for multi-national corporations.

In reality these drugs coming in from foreign countries should be treated as an act of war, we've already lost significantly more Americans to this epidemic than Vietnam, the long term economic cost is probably in the hundreds of billions. If another country did that kind of damage via bombing we would retaliate, but these deaths from drugs don't have a big enough emotional impact to get citizens angry
thanks, this is a great comment(and the rest of the thread). Yes, I meant that it doesn't work without assuming #1, and it had missing #3.
This, by the way, is also a good answer to many questions along the lines of, "which NoSQL database should I use".

99% of the time, you're losing a lot from NoSQL, and you're not gaining anything. Most people who talk about NoSQL perf would never actually hit the perf limits of Postgres on their real life workloads.
While it would be hard to argue in court, a copyright holder attempting to extend copyright beyond the scope of that copy-related right could be misuse of copyright[1]. Based on the doctrine of "unclean hands", a judge could rule a copyright to be unenforceable if the copyright holder tries to enforce some type of property right clearly outside the scope of the copyright protected work.

I can see that getting awkward! But, you might also have been able to save the moment with a confident "Yes. You look like you'd make awesome developers."

I try to live by "It's only awkward if you let it be awkward" to get through those situations.
This comment might not be relevant to the article.

Isn't diversity ultimately relative to the group you are comparing to? And how you want to define the group might differ among people? Also how you weigh the trait in relation to its effect on the some kind of performance metric of the group?

Someone with trait A could be considered diverse if we define a group with predominantly trait B. Does having diverse traits (a mix of both A and B) highly correlated with better performance/survival/whatever metric? Maybe having diversity means the group can adapt better over time (surviving an evolutionary bottleneck in some sense)?

Most of these concepts are obviously not quantifiable in this way, but I think we need some kind of framework to think about how we define diversity.

I generally like EconTalk and Russ Roberts, but they come from a particular ideological perspective. Roberts is at the Hoover Inst (a rightwing think tank that gets major funding from rightwing billionaires). And EconTalk itself is funded by a libertarian (Koch-type libertarian, not Niskanen-type libertarian) foundation.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Fund

I think Roberts has a lot of interesting podcasts but he’s flat wrong on this one.
I think Piketty, Saez, Zucman, Krugman, DeLong, Stiglitz, etc. are the people to read on wealth inequality and concentration.

That's social mobility, not wage growth. Those are not the same thing.

It's akin to arguing that wage growth is looking at income of a person that was flipping burgers while in school 10 years ago now leads an engineering team.

It's not the same job, not the adequate comparison.

I presume you work in IT related field, so imagine you decided to take a break and be a parking lot attendant... You cannot then quote your own example as an instance of falling wages for IT workers.
A group of white males can be diverse, we just don't accept it.

Do you think a group of white males who went to Stanford, MIT etc... right after high school, are the same as those who joined the military, yet now work in the same company?
Because it's a case of a for-profit company competing for paying customers of other hosted platforms. Most WordPress sites don't have that competition, they run the self-hosted version and they are already well served by 3rd party solutions for their more complex needs. So now the community project is trying to prioritise the goals of the for-profit company at the expense of carefully developing solutions to meet its own users in a proportionate way. That's how we've ended up thinking of accessibility/custom fields/theme development/backward compatibility as things that are secondary priorities, if that.
One trick I use is to not be a completionist. If a course seems to have low information density or contains some modules I don't feel the need to learn about, I'll skip or skim. It makes it easier to get into a course when I have some interest and easier to get out when the interest has run dry. This is counter to how we've been forced to treat education, so it feels wrong, but is actually a powerful self-learning technique.
Thank you so much for helping clarify! This is exactly what I meant in the article.
They probably, rightly, assumed that certain personality types gravitate toward programming work. They also probably felt that their manner and choice in clothing style helped to convey their personality type. For example, in their minds a programmer might choose to dress more like the girl in "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" or interact socially in a way that's either more intense (excitable nerd stereotype) or more withdrawn (shy nerd stereotype) than is the norm.

I know that despite my gender people will change their expectations about my career based on how I dress. When I had an undercut and wore around hoodies more often people were much more likely to assume I was technical. Now that I've gotten a little older and my fashion sense has become more conservative people tend to assume I'm a manager or in some other sort of administrative/people oriented role.

It doesn't take much experience in the world to notice that personality type, fashion sense, and career choice are correlated with one another.

It takes a lot of experience on the other hand to learn that you are supposed to ignore such things for the sake of politeness.
Discovery science is definitely harder to fund than hypothesis science.

To take geologic mapping as the example again, the economic ROI has fallen over the past few centuries, when there were bigger unknown areas and you were more likely to literally or figuratively strike gold with only a coarse survey. So while there's still funding for pure mapping, there's not as much as there used to be.

I would argue that the scientific benefits of pure discovery are often still quite high, but it's typically easier to convince reviewers to fund a project when you can point to specific well-defined hypotheses that you'll be testing rather than just "because we don't know what's out there".
Seems to me this is entirely due to a better economy. If you have a job and money, you don't need to escape your life via drugs.
You are thinking of the written language as the fundamental thing. Actually spoken language is fundamental, and writing is an imperfect representation of it.

The verb "lead" and the noun "lead" (i.e., the metal) are two different words, pronounced differently. The fact that they are spelled the same is just an example of how the English writing system doesn't encode the English language perfectly accurately.
Yes, there are things allowed in certified organic agriculture that are poisonous and harmful. That’s a whole separate discussion. I could go on forever about the organic program here in the US, and the standards board being a small group of individuals that mostly represent big-ag at this point (more than half of the board members), and all of the exceptions and rule changes they’ve made to the program.

My point was that organic farmers don’t use organophosphates, which was a response to “Organophosphates are like the primary insecticide used worldwide. How do you replace it? I don't see anywhere where they propose an alternative.”
"In 2013, Richard DeVaul, a director at Google X, the company’s research and development arm, interviewed Star Simpson, a hardware engineer. During the job interview, she said he told her that he and his wife were “polyamorous,” a word often used to describe an open marriage. She said he invited her to Burning Man, an annual festival in the Nevada desert, the following week.

Ms. Simpson went with her mother and said she thought it was an opportunity to talk to Mr. DeVaul about the job. She said she brought conservative clothes suitable for a professional meeting."

woah nelly! totally fucked that he was hitting on her in the interview and appears to be a pretty cut and dried abuse of power...

but... business casual, with mom, at burning man? that's absolutely bananas. however i can see how it would come to be, you're staring down your dream job, and there's this tight knit group of people you want to join so you go along with all of it... and then you realize later that you were just being played because someone wanted to sleep with you. yikes.
How so?

People drink coffee every morning to be more alert at their jobs, and I fail to see how this is different.
I'm going to say it. The most excluded group in SV are conservative republicans. Its a death sentence to your career to come out as one. If you truly value diversity, their point of view is the most absent from tech.
