Google said that 100 searches are equal to a 60-watt light bulb burning for 28 minutes.

"Specifically, we currently use about 0.0003 kWh of energy to answer the average search query," Google said. "This translates into roughly 0.2g of carbon dioxide."

Streaming one minute of YouTube, meanwhile, eats up 0.0002 kilowatt hours and generates 0.1 grams of carbon dioxide. That's about the same amount of energy that your body burns in eight seconds. Each Gmail user also uses 2.2 kilowatt hours each year and generates 1.2 kilograms of carbon dioxide. That, Google said, is "less than the energy it takes to drink a bottle of wine, stuff a message in the bottle, and toss it in the ocean."
On the topic of dual citizenship, I'm always surprised at these deportations of American citizens.

That means the law is not the same for all American citizens. He is getting a different punishment than another arbitrary American citizen doing the same offense.

This is a common pattern - a bunch of disconnected from reality (literally, inside academical enclaves and mentally, living in a world of pure abstractions and ideas) pundits are advocating to destroy (or "reform") a vastly complex systems they do not fully comprehend, leave alone understood. Their abstract memes spread like viruses through naive minds of unthinking (or at least not thinking critically) people, and eventually society become literally sick with this or that nonsense.

This very pattern was behind marxism and all its tragic consequences. Exactly this pattern.

If you like a more recent example - look no farther than the crypto buble, based solely on memes and nothing but memes (well, very clever memes, indeed).

Cash plays a fundamental role in any society - it is means of anonymous, untraceable, quick payments. Any healthy economy needs this kind of transactions. It is literally what we mean by "liquidity" - like a flow of red blood cells through the whole system. Do not mess with it.

The pundits would argue that cash payments could be abused. Well, kitchen knives (even forks!) could be abused too. Shall we advocate a kitchenless society?

Other countries have tried to mess with cash (India recently - thank god they kept small notes in circulation) and the result was disastrous. Again, some disconnected from reality abstract ideas were used to justify the move.

What I am trying to say, is that this is the common cancer and the name of it is Liberal Arts "education", "humanities" and "academia". These people should not be allowed to govern because their minds are distorted with nonsense they have "studied" (memorized). Think of marxists or hegelians or platonists.

Sweden, unfortunately, has been ruled by platonists and hegelians, if not marxists, for last few decades. The results are... well, read the news.
I've never considered myself on the spectrum - well, maybe just a little bit. I find the subway to be soothing. The thing I hate most about buses, which run perfectly on schedule as well here, is that sometimes their route changes. The fact of realizing a route may change just blows my gaskets.

Being too good. There’s nothing worse than being an amazing developer, with bosses without clear visions of what to build.

Every project you’re assigned takes you 3 days instead of the slotted 3 weeks and you start getting board out of your mind.

Eventually, you start making silly and fun side projects to alleviate the boredom. Eventually your silly side projec turns into a real product, and maybe you have a customer or two.

Maybe you quit your job to jump right into it. Maybe it succeeds or fails.

The moral of the story: a boring job is the worst but can also be the best.
Here's the press release from the university where the work was done:

https://www.imperial.ac.uk/news/188973/quantum-compass-could...

As other people have mentioned, this isn't so much a compass, as am accelerometer. With it you can use dead reckoning to infer your position.

One of the problems with current system (for example MEMS accelerometers), is that any small offset at zero acceleration will cause position errors which accumulate quadratically with time. In theory at least, these quantum accelerometers provide a accurate, stable measure of the absolute acceleration.

Here's a paper detailing some of the physics behind the device:

How would that be fair to Indian nationals that play by the rules?

There is a similar rule to what you propose in the Olympic Games. Max of 3 athletes from a given country in each track and field event. I always found that rule stupid and artificial. Potentially several of the top 10 athletes in the World can't compete just because of their country of origin.
You bring a lot of concerns with very little facts or data to back it up. You should do the research on all of these things because every single one is a case of nuances.

First, fish consumption mercury concerns are mainly relevant with large fish. So stick to smaller fish like salmon, or, if you want the biggest bang for your mercury buck, the healthiest fish to eat is actually anchovies. And frankly if you learn to prepare them right, they are delicious.

Regarding juice, you don't need to drink much juice to get a vitamin D boost. First of all, at least around here, the only juice you typically see with it is orange juice. A glass of OJ a day with an otherwise recommended diet isn't going to give you any problems unless you have an allergy or something. Actually a glass of OJ without supplements is not a bad idea as many popular "healthy" diets lack citrus which is important for numerous reasons. But the key here is quantity. It's true, lots of juice is associated with bad health outcomes. Just stick to a max of 1 cup (~230ml) a day, and be sure to get sufficient fiber. I'd always eat something with 5+ grams of fiber along with my OJ. That said, if you prefer you could always just drink milk or take a supplement. Or go outside. I get my Vit D by going outside. I drink OJ daily because there's very little citrus in my diet otherwise. Plus I like it. It balances my black coffee nicely.

Cereal, again, depends entirely on what you're eating as well as culturally what you even consider cereal to be. There is a near infinite range of foods called cereal with highly varying degrees of nutrition. I personally wouldn't rely on cereal for nutrition. The nutrient rich cereals on the shelf at the store are basically typical low nutrition grains with a ton of added vitamins. You may as well take a multivitamin. The importance of mentioning cereal is that they already have many added nutrients so you should be paying attention to what you are ALREADY getting before choosing to add a supplement.

Honestly, all of these things are VALID concerns, but, your whole post is an exercise in modern blanket nutritional and health guidance. In short, blanket health guidance is crap. For any blanket guidance you encounter, even scientifically support guidance, you are going to have a plethora of nuances that undermine it. Just take the "avoid carbs" advice so popular today. Turns out the healthiest people get about 50% of their daily caloric intake from carbs. But it's the KIND of carbs, and the combination of other factors that matter the most. https://www.medpagetoday.com/primarycare/dietnutrition/74608 In another recent study it was found the Japan's oldest and most healthy elderly people lived on 80% calories from sweet potatoes, ate hardly any rice, and small amounts of meat/fish. Sweet potatoes are extremely nutritious so I'm not surprised. The carbs are mostly complex as well. That's pretty important.

Point is, be sure to understand the details or you'll end up blanket statement-ing yourself out of every good thing this life has to offer.
Individual does not build cities. It takes society. Also "Be robbers and ravagers as soon as you cannot be rulers and owners," is what Nazi did and I don't find them admirable before gaining power either. It requires government, those in the middle and demands that you seek to dominate others - as a ruler and if you cant as robber.

But that is picking into details of quote more than it deserves. My original intention was to say thay as much as motivating the quote is, as much as it makes you feel proud and itch for activity or to ovecome obstacles, consequences of following it to the logical conclusion would be ugly.
I think you're missing the point. The sheer volume of people, our cutthroat, materialistic culture, poverty and intrinsic desire of hopefuls to "escape" to a rosier place makes the Indian population perfect for this kind of fraud. And of course, there are plenty of well-off NRI Indians willing to sell them the dream of moving to the west.

Even our pop stars were at it: https://www.google.co.in/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/amp/world-as...
What are you trying to say exactly?
I think social media is fine as a way to connect, it just shouldn't be the only or even major way to connect. In particular I think News Feed is a horrible way to "connect" with anyone.

So I unfollowed every one of my friends on Facebook and keep a pristine blank news feed. If I want to know what someone's up to, I message them or visit their profile. It makes social media usage a lot more deliberate.
My son is on the spectrum (thankfully quite mildly, so is doing very well at a mainstream school with minimal support) and this resonates very strongly with me. At times in his life when he's been suffering from a crisis, trains have always soothed him.
>Perhaps the simplest solution is to disallow Indian nationals from applying for H1B completely?

Wow, this is an incredibly racist and west-centric view.

Are you really going to exclude 17% of the world's population based exclusively on where they were born?
That's true in the long run, however in shorter time frames there's no reason that a gene drive couldn't establish itself in a local population.

You bring up viruses; the aim of a virus is survival, and wiping out its host is counterproductive. The most successful viruses are usually comparatively docile to prolong carriage (most extreme examples are endogenous retroviruses).
Deploying Golang Code to AWS Lambda on Windows
Either way, it's negligible compared to cars, concrete, aluminium production, and hundreds of other energy-heavy industries.
H1B has basically become a slavery visa for Indians. Similar to how the Indian government runs commercials warning Indians going to Gulf countries not to fall into employment related traps, it's hightime we educate Indians wanting to get h1b the issues associated with it. I don't expect American laws to change to make h1b workers life easier. But at least the current Trump administration seems to be targeting a lot of these companies that take advantage of the h1b employees, which is good.
As an aside have mobile phone MEMS systems improved much over the years (MRI He flushing excepted)

It would be nifty to have an app to map tunnels on a phone, but my cursory research suggests it’s too dire, mind you I should try and write one all the same.
It made me laugh that it mentioned they looked at Portland. Uh, rent is just about the same as LA here, but with a much smaller available supply.
The palette does two jobs. First, it makes sure you don't overwrite yourself somewhere else in the codebase. It also helps you easily see where someone has goofed since they aren't using the palette when defining a color. You could write everything that way, but you have to spend more effort maintaining the project.
Exactly. A private company selling a supplement paid for a study that shows said supplement is beneficial and should be consumed... This study cannot be taken seriously.
I've a certain amount of sympathy for this view. But you have to accept that it's building a moat to preserve the class system, at a time when people are finding homeownership harder and harder to achieve.

Presumably your grandmother isn't living entirely independent of society - still reliant on social services, police, NHS and so on. Most of these are locally funded and badly paid. Plus the private sector: shop workers etc. Do you think they should be paid enough to achieve homeownership themselves? Where should that come from?

The council tax capping system is ridiculous, especially in London. I would quite happily swap council tax+stamp duty for a realistic property tax. Preferably with a bit more national redistribution so we can tax mansions in Kensington to pay for buses in Burnley.
I gues your company mandates spaces over tabs.

>> 80% of programming jobs will have you work on something that is not meaningful to you personally or address big problems like climate change, corruption or other significant miseries that plague the world.

(It's of course possible to get a job that doesn't have this problem!)
"Automatic" is not always so automatic.

Not sure about India, but in other countries this "automatic revocation" is neither automatic nor permanent (believe it or not)

Also, given it is not a requirement by the US that the recipient give up their other citizenships, they don't care about the other country knowing about it
That's interesting since a lot of other places look to the Netherlands for examples how to to build places conducive to an active lifestyle. There's a perception that places you can walk and cycle safely will see lower incidences of obesity, etc.

Of course, cycling to work probably won't get you ripped, but it can be helpful for getting some exercise without needing to set time aside for it.
I think op said 40% of their friends go to the gym.
It sounds like you're trying to disprove an argument I never made. Let me be clear about this: there was no free speech in the USSR and you couldn't sound criticism publicly.

But some assume that the absence of free speech means that everyone is either brainwashed or so terrified they are afraid to speak their minds at home. I just had to point out this is not how it was in the late USSR.

Let‘s talk again when you are 60. My father turned 66 and he looks about 10 years younger, and participates in life just like he did 20 years ago. Pick up my kids from school? Help me push the washing machine upstairs? Weed out a 9k square feet garden? Dig a tunnel in the garden for utility cables? Not a problem. I don’t think he would want to be dead for 6y now for having ran a couple marathons each year. He also always refused to come with me to the gym. He runs 8km every now and then because he has „too much energy“.
Interesting. How many weight-lifters in general take steroids? I use creatine, the occasional whey shake. Progress is slow :(

Based on the emerging field of Functional Medicine, Dr. Hyman presents a simple six-week plan to restore health and gain an UltraMind, one that's highly focused, able to pay attention at will, has a strong memory, and leaves us feeling calm, confident, in control, and in good spirits."

That sounds like a bookful of BS and pseudo science.
"...the best work commute you can have is a 15-minute walk each way..."

Interesting ... and sadly laughable considering modern cities.

I wonder if my 15 minutes walk to the station each way counts!
A pure free market for H-1Bs would be an absolute disaster considering how much leverage a corporation has over them, unless you would also like to advocate for curbing our immigration laws/enforcement in order to prevent companies threatening people with deportation.

And that said, you should really read the article before you make claims like that considering he's a prime example of how far someone would go to abuse employees without recourse.

Yes, I think it would represent a new kind of slavery, and should be extremely illegal.

I don't know why only Indians are doing this shit predominantly. This will lead to other Indians getting abused given how negative and fake news spreads today!

Adam Smith pointed out that people go live in cities because then they can specialize in their trades; you are not going to be a shoemaker in a hamlet, nor a porter in a village.

Given that the trend goes that far back, it is not really strange that we see more of it now, when even fewer people are working the land.
Yeah, we call those satellite offices.
The article didn't say their lives were low stress. It talks about active transportation, mostly. I can assure you cycling to work doesn't remove all the stress from your life, and if you live in most modern cities or the US, it's probably adding to your stress level. It does get your heart going, though, and maybe more importantly gives a quick reminder of when you're letting yourself go a bit. If I eat badly for a while the first place I'll notice it is while exercising.

Other commonly cited commonalities to these Blue Zones are a sense of community and healthy diets. The only one I have any familiarity with, Loma Linda, has a lot of people who are quite involved in their church and a high incidence of vegetarianism. Dreadful place to get around by any mode other than car, though.
It's pretty random, I've been in the Army now for 9.5 years. Compared to my peers I'm more likely to go running than lift weights though. I have really good cardio for my size (6'1", 230lb currently). When I do exercise I do put in really hard, I find intensity is far more important than the exact exercise.
What? Buy a second copy? (-:

I have it on the bookshelf next to me as I type this.

I actually have quite a few books, and one of the subjects that really only two that I ever bought has treated well is DLLs in Win32, OS/2, and the like. Almost every author treats them as an afterthought or a variation on Unix shared libraries, when they are not. There's all sorts of stuff peculiar to DLLs; from compression in LX format DLLs, through techniques for ensuring that as many fixups as possible are concentrated in one or a few pages, through module deduplication and search paths, to the application-mode bootstrapping in the likes of DOSCALL1.DLL and NTDLL.DLL.

They were Matt Pietrek's books on Windows 95 and Windows NT. No-one properly documented OS/2 DLLs in a book, especially the way that LIBPATHSTRICT changed them.

Typing to you from a Librem 13 that I've owned for ~3 weeks. So far, the hardware is stellar. I can't say the same for PureOS, I replaced that after ~36h (never made it to desktop). Battery life is consistently ~8-9h. The machine is more powerful than the desktop I replaced it with -- that box is basically NAS now.

Would I buy again? Yes, for the ethos. Would I recommend it to a casual user (the intended audience)? No. It's still very much a techie device. If I push the power button and don't see desktop within a minute, that's broken. You need to be comfy at the command line to maneouver -- which I notice has been almost entirely convenienced away in Fedora 29. If Librems shipped F29, I could at least recommend it for my partner who is the definition of a casual computer user.
Ha, I don’t even think about tech stacks sucking, I just deal with their suckage as part of the job. If I had the time to make my own stack I would, and it would be amazing initially but probably suck a year or two into it.

Kudos to the sucky stacks that managed to stick around.

I am sad that at no point in the text was it ever explained how letter locks protect the letters!

A rather unfortunate admission from an otherwise great article.
Yes, hence the "or" :)
Maybe I started programming professionally too late, but the memory saving you get from using a DLL never seemed worth the added complexity and and potential incompatiblity problems that invariably pop up.

There are other decent uses for DLLs (plugins, Unix support like Cygwin), but saving memory seems terribly insignificant.
I decided to try growing some of my own food this summer. I live in a small apartment in Stockholm and was inspired on a trip to Glastonbury Tor, where I bought some heritage seeds. It was much too late in the season to plant this stuff when I got back, but I was too impatient and sprouted some peas, tomatoes, and a single lettuce leaf seed. They are now in big pots, the peas on my small balcony and the rest inside since it's just too cold now. I have a bunch of pea pods maturing, and I harvested my first lettuce leaf last week (just the one leaf, it was delicious, the rest of the plant is still maturing). I doubt the tomatoes will come to anything this season, but they're still alive, now in big pots near the window.

As someone who at least used to be a bit of a fitness junkie (and still am in some respects), the joy of seeing your little sprouted peas grow huge and start flowering is (for me) on a completely different plane of joy than that of finishing some obstacle course race. Both are really great, but I've never felt as happy getting a deadlift PR as I did when I ate my very first home-grown lettuce leaf.
The analysis of the first item, Steemit, is incorrect. Rewards paid on Steemit are paid in STEEM, a native asset to the same blockchain that holds all the content, not an ERC-20, as STEEM has nothing to do with Ethereum.
