I agree with what avar is saying above and in the sibling thread.

> producing any type of meat consumes excessive amounts of land vs other forms of producing food

I think this is quite different from CO2 and pollution, which I'd agree are true externalities. I'm not sure I follow " how do you classify 'land' as an externality" though. Why is it an externality? It is a good that has a price.

It sounds like you're believe that there's something inherently bad about meat consuming more land to produce than other types of food. But I think to first approximation, the free market just sorts that one out; if there were other uses for that land that were more profitable on a per-acre basis, then you'd expect land-owners to convert to those uses.
Thanks for the reply; I've read only a small fraction of Jung's vast body of work and certainly don't always agree with [or understand] his conclusions, but I've also felt he was pretty moderate in drawing them and often fills his professional writing (not his private, personal "Red Book" and related materials) with disclaimers and warnings about not jumping to various conclusions or misinterpretations (some of which seem to manage in spite of that to be used to this day as characterizations of his text).

What I meant about the "Red Book"'s significance (and I agree that it's "odd") is that it tends to show some of the "raw data" of Jung's personal experience from which he was deriving his hypotheses that otherwise seem very abstract (and for that reason were not relatable to me when I was in school). Its extreme subjectivity and unscientific quality is a main reason Jung and his heirs did not wish for it to be published, and successfully kept it from being so for many decades.

Perhaps in terms of scientific rigor there is much to improve upon with Jung's work. I fully agree that he is "quite interesting", and still think there is likely something that could be gained scientifically from critically revisiting some of his ideas in a modern context.
How would you deal with unregistered voters?

I'm not sure why you're having such a difficult time drawing the line between billboards and facial expressions.

How about this: "People should be able to express opinions and propaganda however they'd like. Inanimate objects in public spaces should be constrained by something similar to the Fairness Doctrine[0], where factual information is allowed but blatant propaganda is not".

I don’t think anything is saved within each device, just the totals. They say there’s no way to know how each individual device (and therefore device-holder) voted.

I doubt strongly there is any actual crypto guaranteeing this though.
Thanks! Wirth was going to be my second guess. For some reason, possibly because I had the order switched (or because the '+' itself, rather than just the words, is key to the phrase), I couldn't find the phrase by Googling.

Excerpt:

ALEX: So finally, I find this website that is called the Center for Copyright information.

PJ: And what’s that?

ALEX: It’s a website that is run by both the entertainment industry and the ISPs, they’re working together. And the deal is, if you feel that you have wrongly received a DMCA notice, you can go to this website, pay $35, and you can appeal it. And if you’re successful, then they will tell your ISP they were wrong, and they retract it, and you shouldn’t have any strikes on your account.

PJ: You found internet court.

ALEX: Yeah, I found internet court.

PJ: So are you taking this case to internet court?

ALEX: I sent them an email and said, hey this person Cayden was wrongfully accused.

PJ: And what did they say?

ALEX: They didn’t say anything, they never got back to me!

PJ: (laughs) Got it.

ALEX: So basically what I found was a completely unaccountable system that was frustratingly opaque. It was maddening. So I decided to try something else.

I think that this is more than a bit of a misunderstanding and a generalization. Most of the Apache projects are designed to fix large-scale problems in a scalable way. For instance, you would have no good use for Mesos for a personal pet project. At the scale that many of them are designed for, configuration is the norm and the Apache projects save hassle compared to writing a custom solution or trying to hack other tools together.

With the Apache projects that I've worked with, there also seems to be an underlying concept of modular components and generalized interfaces, so that they can be used in as many cases as possible. For some people, Mesos (with Marathon) competes with Kubernetes, but there's more to Mesos than just container orchestration.

If you're looking for low-configuration, low-maintenance solutions to common problems, Apache projects probably aren't what you're looking for, in general. On the other hand, if you have big problems to solve, they might be just what you need.
> Pen and paper is hardly done in the US except provisionally.

Every state in the US can have a different system in place for the actual voting process. These systems also change over time. Pen and paper is used in plenty of the US, just not necessarily in your district.

Of course the pen-and-paper system is designed to be electronically scanned, at least.
Careful. While doing things that don't scale is generally good advice for startups, don't build stuff that you already know will NEVER EVER scale.

If you develop stuff and still have to put manual effort because you save time - fine. But don't just get lazy and stop thinking about the consequences of your decisions - it will bite you sooner or later.
Venous blood is simply venous blood. But capillary blood from fingertip samples contains variable amounts of interstitial fluid, and cell lysis is another issue there.

There are tests where it doesn't matter - consider the blood glucose - the variability of capillary samples vs venous samples is well understood and the introduced error sufficiently small compared to reference range.

But Theranos also tried electrolyte panels, and there you have a problem because the concentrations of ions in blood plasma are very different from the concentrations of ions inside cells. Both are tightly controlled in the healthy body. Slightly less than 50 % of blood is cellular matter, and even small amounts of lysis are sufficient to distort the numbers to render them clinically meaningless. You inevitably have lysis in capillary samples. Carreyrou talks about that in his book.
Denmark has 85+ without compulsery voting, because we have more than one party.

The US only issue is that you have fpp. Solving that will solve the rest, compulsery voting will just hide it and make sure it is never sold.
Also, some US states are encountering issues with bio contamination in their aquifers and as water issues become more prevalent (perennial droughts in some states shrinking aquifers making them less resilient to contamination; perennial flooding in others moving the water tables closer to septic tanks and making them more prone to contamination), the requirements to isolate septic tanks from local ecologies will only grow (ie, increasingly more counties will require to close them, watertight protect them, require them to be regularly pumped moving forward, and/or replace them with a connection to nearby sewage systems).
I don't recommend Streisand; it spins up a bizarre collection of services. If you're excited about WireGuard (as I am), a huge part of the reason why is not to have all the horrible attack surface of legacy tunneling protocols, cryptography, and tools.

That's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Kinda like millenials complaining about boomers voting for things they don't like, while simultaneously not turning out to vote even though as a group they outnumber the boomers and could actually effect change if they bothered to show up.

I was going to refute your claim about these things just paying for the space they use, by stating figures that show advertising provides a significant subsidy for Transport for London (which operates the tubes and buses in London).

But I was wrong: annual advertising revenue is just 142MM GBP, or about 16 GBP per London resident. This seems low given how much time people spend looking at ads on the tube.

The entertainment industry wants takedowns eagerly enforced. The ISPs don't want to do work. Ignoring complaints is the predictable outcome. (As is AT&T becoming stricter about copyright enforcement after buying a content company.)

I'm honestly baffled that people can't tell the difference between coke and pepsi in a double blind test. this was a common science fair experiment at my middle school, and whenever i participated I could easily tell the difference. often restaurants will serve Pepsi when you order coke if that's all they have. I consistently notice this as well (as confirmed by the branding on the soda fountain). Pepsi has a different flavor and has significantly more sugar than coke, so I'm not sure what people are missing.
Sinking more money in the stock market is the same as getting a worse deal or concession in any fund.

Stocks are already bought up to levels that don't make a meaningful theoretical return if the individual companies started returning capital via dividends.

Bonds are in the same situation, they have been bought up beyond sane levels (theoretical return based on coupon and yield curve) pushing their yield to lower rates than risk and inflation would warrant. Basically, with bonds you have to accept that some issuers will go bankrupt and you get a 100% loss on that portion of the portfolio, therefore the whole portfolio of bonds has to account for that risk and it can't right now, if you keep buying more of them at higher prices

Getting out of the public markets you go into the private equity markets. There are plenty of investments to fund which nobody else is funding due to the way the deal looks or the way the team looks. You go further out on the risk curve, and also accomplish the goal of keeping money flowing in the economy.

This is what the central banks wanted to happen: assets prices and yields of everything passive is so unattractive that people are forced to make their capital more productive in the economy. Sure they didn't expect people to plow into crypto, but risk is risk and yield is yield.

It is more likely that Softbank functions as an economic stimulus backed by the Bank of Japan's economic policy decisions.
I just watched a segment on this (VICE, Vox, other?). In some places, the cultural taboo is cleaning the pit. So in parts of India, with a history of castes, the pits are made impracticably large, to that it never (rarely) needs to be emptied.
Just finished reading "Chernobyl Prayer" and I have to say it really did make me rethink my position on nuclear energy. Not that I'm an expert or have any way of impacting the future of nuclear energy, or anything. But, as you say, a nuclear disaster, while rare, would have immense and long-lasting effects. As with any type of accident, it's always a question of "when" not "if".
I take your point, it is an interesting one. Pulling such threads all the way may lead us to strange places.

However, I think it is important to note that we have been using spices and perfumes for thousands of years. Direct, omnipresent commercial advertising, as seen in modern cities, is an entirely new thing. I'm guessing there was much advertising prior to the 1800s (curious to research this more though).

Likewise with social media and good old fashioned social interaction.

I think there are many distinctions that are quite important to make when looking at subconscious influences.
Are you being facetious and saying you can’t prove climate change in the same way you can’t prove gravity exists? Or are you for real? Scientific proof has a different general meaning than what the general population calls proof, but the claim that more CO2 in the atmosphere leads to a warmer planet, and we can quite accurately project that correlation, is not remotely controversial. After a life of following this closely both in and out of academics I’m curious what makes you think differently to everyone that has looked into this closely, including unlikely people like oil companies and Jim Breidenstein. Read Merchants of Doubt if you’re interested in how it got so politicized.

I'm really curious about cache on the IO die. Ian Cutress of Anandtech said Rome is ~ 1000 mm² in total. [0] Based on that and the pictures of the Rome die that were shown some users [1] estimated the size of the IO die to be 387 - 407 mm².

- Zen 1 (8 cores) with IO is 213 mm².

- the Zen 2 core only chiplets are estimated to be around 70 mm².

- if we assume IO scales as well as the rest (which it doesn't) Zen 1 would be ~106 mm² on 7nm.

- let's just say the difference between Zen 2 core only chiplets and the imaginary Zen 1 on 7nm is the size of the IO per Zeppelin die => ~36 mm²

- now double the area again because the IO die is on 14nm => 72 mm²

- now quadruple the size because we have 8 memory channels and 128 PCIe 4.0 lanes => 288 mm²

Going by my flawed layman estimation this would mean we still have a budget of ~100 mm² for additional functionality. Either PCIe 4.0 takes much more space than PCIe 3.0, they have some secret sauce in there, or maybe just a large L4 cache.

If they use EDRAM instead of SRAM like Intel did with some of their Broadwell and Skylake CPUs they could probably fit quite a bit cache in this area. Intel used 128 MB EDRAM fabbed on a 22nm node which required 84mm ² [2]

Has it been tested, I'm not convinced.

One group effected negatively could be parents. They may find it more difficult to vote if their kids aren't in school. Particularly single parents. (I vote after the kids go to bed - but have taken a child to the polls a couple of times - but I have a partner to stay home and make that possible).

Ads work, but they are generally extremely inefficient.

And as we get used to avoiding them, they become less efficient, meaning they need to jam more of them in our face.

If we could somehow make it so that every ad was A) very relevant and B) we actually paid attention to it ...

The entire digital ad economy could subsist on you and I seeing maybe 1 or 2 ads a day.

That's it: imagine a world where you only had to see 1 or 2 ads a day!

It's economically possible.

But the worst and most cynical part of it all ... if ads were this efficient, short-sighted advertisers wouldn't stop at 1 or 2 - they would still jam more ads in our faces, thereby ratcheting up short term profit, wondering why his 'per view' metrics continues to all, as we pay less attention!

It's a very pernicious race to the bottom and the only way it would work well is of a benevolent entity with long term foresight and proper incentives basically dictated the terms.

This is where many of the arguments against government regulation break down. If you take government out of the picture, you're still left dealing with massive institutions and bureaucratic regulations. The main difference is that those institutions are even less accountable to the average person than the government, and they have obvious interests in tilting every table to advantage themselves.

Dealing with a corporate bureaucracy is dealing with a regulatory body that's been totally captured by that corporation.
