CO and NOx are a larger immediate health issue (see: EU cities struggling with widespread adoption of dirtier diesel cars) but a lesser issue in the long term than greenhouse gas (CO2) induced warming.

I bring this up because it's a fascinating trade-off when it comes to diesels, where increased NOx emission can reduce CO2 emission substantially (through improved combustion temperatures leading to lower fuel burn) - the exact tradeoff VW were illegally making in their "cheating" diesel cars.
The device in your video is designed differently and would work without any fudging. It's key that the writing point is at a 90 degree angle to the device spines, and each writing point has a different length.

> I find the depicted device elegantly simple and find it hard to imagine something significantly simpler; what are some of the much simpler tools you mention?

If you're starting off from the basis of "compass and straightedge" (and pen), then all you need is to upgrade your straightedge with a fixed pair of marks. If you're starting from nothing, all you need is a square of paper; origami can trisect an angle.
I have some misgivings about their reasoning after reading the first section ("Significance") of the article. (Apologies if I just didn't read far enough.)

> Race-based economic inequality is both a defining and persistent feature of the United States that is at odds with national narratives regarding progress toward racial equality.

Perhaps I'm reading too much into their phrasing, but saying that inequality is "race-based" sounds like a claim regarding causality. If so, I wonder if they're overreaching and should have limited their claims to correlation.

> ... Notably, White Americans generated more accurate estimates of Black–White equality when asked to consider the persistence of race-based discrimination in American society.

I could imagine many primer statements that potentially improve the accuracy of the estimates people come up with. But that alone would not show those primer statements to be true. I hope the paper's authors and readers avoid that logical trap.

Perhaps, but you didn't read your own link if you think it supports that claim, since it basically says “PNAS marketing material implied they never made bad publication calls, and when I pointed that out to they fixed it, and, just to be clear, they are a great journal.”

The average law-abiding citizen I knew back in IL was one heated discussion on a bad day away from shooting someone had they always been carrying.

const out: unknown = JSON.parse("{a: 1}");
if (typeof out === 'object' && out && typeof out.a === 'number') {
console.log(out.a);
}

gives the error:

[ts] Property 'a' does not exist on type 'object'. [2339]

It's a completely unnecessary check, anyway: `out &&` is sufficient to exclude `null` and `undefined`, which is all that's needed to ensure that `out.a` won't crash. I challenge you to give a single input to `JSON.parse` that would crash my code without the `typeof` check.

Just in case those IPs are within your AWS account: you can apply a single security group to those machines and then use that security group as the destination in the outbound rule.

If they're outside your account then, you're right, that's a shortcoming in AWS (Azure and GCP both allow multiple destinations in a single rule).
The catch is you don't know whether you under priced your house for that or well more than that unless you paid an appraiser or broker to help you set the price. Most FSBOs sell for under market.
Off the top of my head and without source attribution: Over 90% of the land that can be farmed is being farmed. Over 3/4 of that is for livestock feeding. Almost 1/3 of cereal crop grown is for animals. Now is probably a good time to eliminate meat from our diets. And grow more forests and grasslands. Grasslands more than trees will sequester carbon.

It’s a different kind of aquifer crisis here in California. We are a desert and places that draw from the fast depleting aquifers will have to deal with salt water flowing back in...that would be a disaster. Ca has 45-50 billion in Ag revenue. That industry would be decimated. It’s staggeringly mind boggling as to how easy it is to sacrifice the commons without any foresight whatsoever.

In my estimation, electric is perfect for the smaller second car, where it becomes a no-brainer for 95% of commuting and shopping tasks. Tesla is going for the electric-car-first market. Volkswagen, BMW and others seem to be throwing darts at the wall to see what sticks.

I would say those are two different things, but they are generally both bullshit. One is menial jobs with no future, essentially lost potential. The other is taking a position in something rather than do something, like middle managers. I know it isn't popular to talk about, but they are both a factor of inequality. You need to have economic equality to have distinction in merit. Otherwise merit for all intents an purposes comes second to economic success or failure. Of course that isn't absolute. But still a huge factor.
Just to add another perspective: I recently bought an apartment in NYC without using a broker.

One common argument for buyer's brokers is that they don't cost the buyer anything: the seller pays for their commission. If I were buying a $1M apartment, the seller would pay $30,000 (3%) of that to my broker.

Alternatively, I could not use a broker and instead negotiate the price I pay to $970k (basically what I ended up doing, though it's hard to definitively say what I would've paid had I used a broker).

One could argue that a broker's experience could more than pay for the fee, but I have a hard time believing this is true 90%+ of the time (which is how often buyers hire brokers).

It was pretty easy (and enjoyable, at least for me) to research what was on the market thanks to aggregators like StreetEasy and major brokers' own websites (I'll also concede that I may have missed out on some off-market listings, but was able to find a place I love in spite of that; this may be somewhat different in a seller's market, but I don't know). I arranged showings directly with the listing broker, researched what to look for in an apartment and what questions to ask, and often brought experienced friends and family to these apartments.

My particular experience was perhaps unique because I ended up buying a condo in a new development with an experienced developer (but I don't think it would've been particularly costly or hard to hire a home inspector myself), but I was still able to provide comps, write a persuasive offer letter, research the developer, and negotiate closing costs. I ended up paying 7% under ask and paying no transfer taxes, and I really doubt I'd have gotten more than 4.5% under ask had I used a broker.

My strategy may be too risky for many others -- this was my first home purchase, after all -- but I did a bunch of research, reached out to friends and family for advice, and consulted an attorney before submitting any offers.

I ended up spending a bunch of my own time doing work that someone more experienced could have done for me, but it was a great learning experience and seems to have had a huge return on investment.

If you're not willing to try this strategy, I recommend looking for brokers who will agree to some sort of commission rebate. In NYC in particular, a company called [Prevu](https://www.wework.com/creator/personal-profiles/real-estate...) offers a two-thirds rebate (note: I have no affiliation with this company and never used their service, but some of their [blog posts](https://www.prevu.com/blog) were quite helpful to me).
Your Marshall Plan for the rust belt is to take money from other taxpayers in the country and give it to... the most corrupt governments in the country?
No.

Lets be clear about that, using uber is not the same as buying jewelry from war criminals. (hit a vein cause my grandpa was executed by them).

Everyone used uber and keeps using uber no matter what comes into light. Certainty not many of us knew beforehand what uber was doing, and once it was out I think uber tried to cover it quickly by increasing benefits and whatnot for the drivers. So no its not the same and am not enabling any dodgy business or anything, don't misjudge my comment, uber is a multi-billion $ company of course its dodgy as any multi-billion $ company out there.
Even in the best case of a FSBO home, the seller is not going to give you that 3%. The whole reason they are not using a realtor is so that they can avoid paying a commission. And if you are not using a realtor, they can find another buyer who is not using a realtor so it isn't like they would have to pay it if your deal doesn't work

All of us using EMRs don't fill out paperwork anymore. We just copy-paste. Unfortunately admins think you can quantify stuff by making more measurements. But that's so amusing if you just talk to a few patients. It's like trying to quantify the quality of poetry.There is a HUGE gap between the patient's experience and the actual disease. That's why our ERs are clogged with people who think they are sick. Getting through that thick layer of emotion and still communicating with the patient is hard work.And it often fails. It's like the policeman who comes to the scene of an accident and tries to get the story of what happened from the accident victim (if she/he can even talk). Even if the victim is capable of speaking, the emotional turmoil renders the story moot. And amid all this chaos, they expect us to make cost effective diagnostic decisions? where one slip up can lead to an error of omission or an error of commission? and then a law suit? And if you are an employed physician, there is a bean counter looking to make you word harder. Even if you are part of a private group practice, the old guys take a cut of your money while you sweat, cry and bleed.

The psychological impact one may have, from knowing their own ancestors were once slaves and so abused by being a different race. Must play a part in the inequality. I’ve never asked someone how it may bring paranoia or anxiety but it probably helps anger a person in situations of less certainty of being wronged by negligence vs malice. It must mentally hinder a person. People were intelligent in history and even during slavery. So it must make reality questionable. Usually this bounces in my head a lot. I find the world really sad thinking about it.
Less beef, more beans. Experts say world needs a new diet
I am saying that neither you nor anyone else has given a single example of something we know will happen and can't deal with today. Not a single example.

What we see on the other hand is plenty of political attempts to try and force specific technologies in which aren't even close to being able to provide enough energy Solar and Wind being the most famous here.

They are going to be great as extensions but we are not going to live in a world where they provide the majority of the energy and thus they aren't fundamental solutions to the problem they are distractions and they aren't even that green.

Thats a good example of what happens when we try and solve a problem which we don't even know will show up and if it does in a 100 years form now.

The difference in cost between solving a problem with technology and methods 100 years from now should be pretty obviously huge and thus it make no sense when we can't even point to a specific problem but just speculate about it.

That's what absurd here.

So, virtualization is technically only allowed if you're running your apple hardware with anything besides Mac OS.

But apple isn't enforcing that limitation, as products like VMware fusion on Mac OS are (at least as far as I can tell) officially sanctioned.

This is not the point of advertising at all. You’re operating on incorrect assumptions.

There are many different objectives of advertising. Imagine you’re in market for a vacuum. You might only be aware of a few brands, so other brands need to advertise so you become aware of their product. You may have forgotten about a brand that you previously liked, so they advertise. You might be considering one vacuum, but are potentially open to spending more on a premium model. You might be doubting the trustworthiness of a brand, until you seen them advertising on NYT. You might also need a new broom if you’re buying a new vacuum. What about this new product I invented, scented bags. How am I supposed to inform you about those?

Presumably the parent meant that Bogle popularized index mutual fund investing in 1976, thereby catalysing the passive investing industry.

And whereby there were previously only actively managed funds, the creation of that industry substantially lowered the cut money managers got from person wealth management.

Thereby leading to generations of people with more control over their money and willing to take risks, where a professional money manager would have little incentive to invest in startups with wealth locked up in their funds.
What bothered me about the urbit system was that updates were "evergreen" and distributed top down from the heiarchy of galaxies and stars. Any person in the chain could make modifications and you were at the mercy of the parent not to send a malicious update to your planet. Also, orthogonal persistance meant data was never really deleted. This didn't seem to me like a personal server much less something I'd want to store my entire digital life on.

When two things are correlated, there are four possibilities: A causes B, B causes A, A and B are both caused by some third factor C, or they are correlated by random chance.

It is unlikely that economic inequality causes race, or that some third factor causes both economic inequality and race.

The odds of race and economic situations being correlated by random chance are vanishingly small. The numbers involved are so big that there’s just no way, it would be like flipping a fair coin a million times and getting 700,000 heads.

That leaves race causing economic inequality, probably by way of intermediate factors like oppression caused by race.
None of those things are even close to being unsolvable though and that's really the point here.

I am being downvoted for not panicking which is fine and just shows how religious people are treating this topic.

With regards to limits, the cost of that is absolutely nothing compared to the cost of using inferior technologies to solve a problem we don't even know will be a problem in a 100 years from now.
The whole problem with that notation is that it isn't declarative. It's mean to execute. So to read it you have to know Guile functions like cons* . vim and packages% are actually variable bindings; vim undoubtedly stands for some package object defined elsewhere.

A Scheme-based configuration language that is executable Scheme is going to end up using the entire language, and be daunting to some IT person who just wants to reconfigure the distro and isn't a Scheme programmer. (Counterargument: a clean, dedicated configuration template language will likely sprout a way to run arbitrary Scheme code anyway.)

It's tempting to make things like this because they are quick and dirty. For instance, we could make an assembly language which is like this. (mov eax ebx) could be a call to a function called mov, and eax and ebx could be constants in Scheme itself. The function has the side effect of emitting the assembled code into some stream. We don't have to write any code which would walk, validate and translate the syntax of a Lisp-ified assembly language; we just let the programmer write code using the API we have provided and throw it into the path of the evaluator.

And we can have fun like (dotimes 13 (roll %ecx)) to emit 13 copies of an instruction.

So it has some up-sides, and some down-sides.

> The Copenhagen Consensus Center is a think tank that uses sophisticated algorithms and the best available data to compare alternate poverty-fighting strategies. Their tools have allowed us to test an interesting hypothesis: Suppose that our foundation hadn’t invested in Gavi, the Global Fund and GPEI and had instead put that $10 billion into the S&P 500, promising to give the balance to developing countries 18 years later. As of last week, those countries would have received about $12 billion, adjusted for inflation, or $17 billion if we factor in reinvested dividends.

> What if we had invested $10 billion in energy projects in the developing world? In that case, the return would have been $150 billion. What about infrastructure? $170 billion. By investing in global health institutions, however, we exceeded all of those returns: The $10 billion that we gave to help provide vaccines, drugs, bed nets and other supplies in developing countries created an estimated $200 billion in social and economic benefits.

> Every three to five years, each of these three organizations needs to raise new money. Most of the time, these “replenishments,” as they’re called, are spaced out, but that isn’t the case now. By a fluke of the calendar, Gavi, the Global Fund and the GPEI will all need more money over the next 18 months. The years 2019 and 2020 are the most important in recent memory for funding the fight against disease, and the urgent question for donors is: Will you continue to invest?

Regardless of your feelings on Bill Gates the individual, it would be nice if Gavi, the Global Fund and GPEI could get a fraction of the attention he does.
