If we're going to decarbonize the economy at a decent rate, we most likely will need to find a just solution for those whose jobs will be disappearing under them (e.g. workers in the fossil fuel industry).

See the riots in France for what happens when you give tax cuts to the rich and try to make the working classes pay for decarbonizing.

Some kind of federal job guarantee could be a way to guarantee some amount of income for displaced workers.

Of course. In 2002 you'd probably be laughed at. You also could no longer just stick "e" at the front of your company name, or ".com" at the end, and get instant riches. (Just like "blockchain" today)

It'll require a different class of entrepreneur, one who is patient, has a longer vision, and is willing to build boring companies. (Look at the companies that survived the dotcom bust)
As far as I can tell, Sarno himself is mostly rebranding much older ideas from psychosomatic medicine and psychodynamic psychotherapy, with his main contribution being that he presents them in a way that people are less likely to reject than the "proper" forms.

In the U.S., OSH Park is 5 day turn. Order on Monday, ships Friday.

(This is using their Swift service on two layer boards, which is surprisingly only $10/sqin per set of 3, compared against the usual $5. Plus they're made in the U.S. so it's local shipping.).

(Note: I haven't used Osh Park in awhile, but they were great when I did use them and I've seen people still recommend them recently.)

EDIT: Though it looks like Osh Park doesn't do stencils.

Regarding your Mackies, which exact DACs and sound cards have you tested them with? According to the manual [1] they expect a +4dBu input, which will lead to unnecessary noise if you use them with "consumer" -10dBu gear. Most audio interfaces (i.e. designed for recording, not Schiit-type DACs) with balanced output will do +4dBu - I believe it's standard on all Focusrites.

> and (2) every single Apple product.

Sure but that doesn't mean the default Apple audio jack is high quality.

I have a cheap USB DAC (bought from monoprice) to power a set of Beyerdynamic headphones. The DAC beat a macbook I was using for work hands down on quality of sound.

Specifically, I noted the DAC had better definition of sound meaning that I could pick out details better. It also had better spatial attributes as well, meaning that I could pick out instruments in 3d space.

To be fair, doing a D to A conversion in a laptop is hard, and while Apple does it relatively better than average, it's still probably better off done outside of the macbook itself.

Diagnosis of autism has never been based on specific genetic or biochemical causes or mechanisms. It is defined by its behavioral symptoms.

How do you know it has different causes, when the causes of autism have not been enumerated?

Unlimited money, or at least the willingness to spend unlimited money, has not really resulted in a sustainable "win" in Afghanistan, for example.

China can afford a Finland vs USSR scenario, several times over. China is not going away and the Taiwanese are essentially Han Chinese according to Wikipedia so the Afghan scenario is different. China can offer same government or laws for at least for x decades...

One difference that may exist is that in Rust, async fns don’t immediately execute, they simply create one of these values. I forget if JS and C# do something different, that is, the execute up until the first suspend point. This was one of the major design decisions we’ve made that’s different than other languages.
We didnt find any reference to a "truly synthetic diet", so it remains a conceptual talking point which is of unknown economy and unknown capability to produce, yet it has been too easy to confuse the medical diet as evidence of the concept.

> that although the ingredients come from agricultural sources, they have been purified to such a degree that it doesn't matter; they're chemically identical to synthetic ones.

Technically speaking, they are not chemically identical. They are in certain contexts chemically equivalent, subject to 'trace' contamination, bonding and structural differences which are assessed to be biologically insignificant. Synthesis can produce materials which are purer (as in simpler) than grown, but it is prohibitively difficult to achieve an exact, indistinguishable configuration of biologically generated materials.

It could be common to regard this distinction between identity and equivalence as pedantic, yet it is wrong and unscientific - the difference in meaning between these terms has categorical consequences to deduction. Loose claims of chemical identity, gloze over the theoretical component of equivalence - which is subject to change. Prions for example were easily described as chemically equivalent to their other phenotypes, until they became common knowledge around the 90s. Differentiating phenotypes in chemical terms surely involves advanced notation which I expect neither of us are familiar with. For sure homeopathy is a fanciful placebo based therapy, but even pure chemically speaking "simple" H2O carries perplexing detail at the molecular level[1] Whatever might be theoretically insignificant or not, is subject to ongoing insight and discovery.

Issue with this is that former DPP Chair Tsai Ing-Wen has resigned her position as Chair due to low approval ratings and voting defeats on her home turf. Shes stayed on as president but not likely to be re-elected. Her opposition the KMT if they get re-elected will likely continue on either good relations with China or reunification so there would be less saber-rattling.

Apologies for having allowed our more marketing-oriented folk do the website content - we're still writing some developer-appropriate less hypey docs which we'll release soon.

The concept is hard to explain in a couple of sentences - the keynote is really the best place to go right now if you want to properly understand what we're trying to do - but essentially, it's about using less CPU than the way we currently run audio code (i.e. running on a CPU in a non-realtime OS, in user-space)

And no, GPUs were never part of the plan for this. I've never considered GPUs to be a remotely sensible place to run audio code. We're mainly talking about DSPs or CPUs with realtime OSes.

...however, surprisingly, after we announced it, we had several very serious companies ask us whether SOUL could run on a GPU because they do have use-cases where that kind of architecture fits quite nicely. Wouldn't have expected that, but it may be something we look into if people want it.
I still don't understand why you are mentioning legal tender in this discussion. Legal tender is cash, credit cards are not legal tender.

Therefore Amazon does not accept legal tender.

Yes, businesses like Amazon could demand payment in legal tender (or credit cards, or Bitcoin) but they are under no obligation to accept any of those forms of payment.

Bitcoin is no different than credit cards with respect to legal tender.
> I'll note that it just failed as a ballot initiative in the liberal state of Washington -- and while that proposal was a stronger one than other efforts, good luck trying to do carbon tax nationally given the track record there.

Also, I just looked up this ballot measure and it looks pretty solid. The fact that it failed proves my point. It's easy to see how a tax would negatively affect their livelihoods, so people oppose it. The costs of building new wind turbines and tax rebates for electric cars are obscured, so they're popular even though they have questionable efficacy.

It’s a common practice as it relates to speculative investments that have seen significant gains but you’re unsure of future value. Selling half locks in some gains (de-risking) while still preserving possible future upside (the half you don’t sell).

What do you hold when you hold USD in a bank account? The best argument I've heard for the value of USD is:

1. is that you can pay your US federal and state taxes in USD

2. and many companies and individuals will accept USD in trade for goods and services.

Measuring BTC by that same rule you'll find:

1. You can pay your Ohio state taxes in Bitcoin [0],

2. and you can trade BTC (Bitcoin) for some goods and services (overstock for example).

Thus if USD has value by the measure above than BTC must share some of that value. The value of BTC might be significantly smaller than USD but it must be non-zero.

>When you hold stocks you hold actual ownership of a productive corporation

Not every company is productive. The stock is worth what someone is willing to pay for it now or at some future point. Companies have issued stock as cryptocurrency tokens.

>When you hold Bitcoin...you don't hold anything which can convert into something useful at the end of the day - you hold the useless result of expended computing power

You raise an interesting point here. Should currencies have a use other than being a medium of exchange? For example you can burn paper money to generate heat or melt down coinage into useful metals. Does having that property make paper money or physical coins better as a currency? Goldbugs would say yes, I'm less sure.

Hi there! I'm planning to add crwodsource features so the community will keep the data updated.
For one they are aware they (as a population) get stomach cancer more often, so they actively screen for it, in the way most countries in the West screen for colon cancer.

Remember that some types of cancer, if caught early enough, are more akin to a chronic condition than a delayed death sentence. Once treated there are quarterly or bi-annual checkups and any suspicious tissue will be removed preventatively. You still have a much higher chance of stomach cancer popping up again vs. someone who never had it, but with the checkups it’ll be nipped in the bud before it grows into something severe.

That might sound offhand but that is how it is for (as far as I’m aware) bladder cancer and most gastrointestinal cancers. Cancer in the lungs, liver or brain usually is much much more dangerous because there’s little screening and they’re much more resistant to treatment.

Yeah, it's probably a conservative number. But the Toronto area (~20% of Canada's population) would not be much different from Chicago, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, etc.

And yeah, Canada has a lot of land, but once we ask Canadians "How would you like to chop down 5 Torontos worth of forest to cover them in silicon panels and make it into a lifeless desert?", then maybe some people will reconsider the relative merits of nuclear.

This is such a bizarre experience to share, given the current position and optics of Twitter. As others have mentioned, there’s some serious irony in his praise of silence and separation. What was he expecting to get out of it?
No, and I'd appreciate if you make an effort to actually understand what I'm saying instead of repeatedly reaching for negative interpretations

It has nothing to do with your intelligence and everything with information you have access to. Often understanding the real answer requires information you don't have and can't be given. It has nothing to do with intelligence.

But you aren't going to get that information, and it's not because it's bad, it's because it cant be given to anyone. So you can't have the full explanation either.
But then he still has to deal with order fulfillment, returns, and customer problems. A distribution platform like Amazon and Google books handles that all for him.

I would not be surprised if mortgages from Puerto Rico held by the US Treasury or on the balance sheet of banks were for homes that do not exist either. The government of Puerto Rico is known to be corrupt and has changed the measured distance of many roads on the island at least 2 times in the last ten years. This correlates with when the US treasury window was open to MBS paper exchanges at par value.

> One of the goals of the Potsdam Deceleration was to be intentionally vague about the terms of surrender

Do you have a cite that the ambiguity was intended to reduce the chance the Japanese would surrender? I don't know the history well.

I have the impression that, given the US's knowledge of its own military superiority, it would never have accepted anything besides total surrender and occupation. (This is not just vindictive; cease fires and truces are less effective for ensuring the enemy doesn't rise later.) Therefore, if the declaration was vague, this if anything would have been to encourage getting the Japanese to the bargaining table.

Wikipedia seems consistent with this:

> A major aspect relating to the Potsdam Declaration was that it was intended to be ambiguous. It is not clear from the document itself whether a Japanese government was to remain under Allied occupation or whether the occupation would be run by a foreign military government. In the same manner, it was not clear whether after the end of the occupation Japan was to include any territory other than the four main Japanese islands...This ambiguity was intentional on the part of the U.S. government in order to allow the Allies a free hand in running the affairs of Japan afterwards.

One can certainly criticize the US for not accepting conditional/partial surrender as a way to avoid unnecessary deaths, but the ambiguity of the declaration doesn't seem like the issue.
