An Icy Superhighway Once Carried Glaciers from Namibia to Brazil
Thanks.

My sources are science journals and talks by those climate scientists mentioned previously.

I watched the 1st and 3rd video.

The first one was good but it was a bit all over the place, I wish they had more time to discuss this in more detail.

The way I understood is that Prof Lindzen argues that there is no man made climate change that's an existential threat and the other scientist are alarmist and says they are heavily biased and suggested that there is even conspiracy, but wouldn't say who is behind this conspiracy. He even urged Trump to withdraw from the climate accord. What is wrong with investing more heavily in renewable tech? What about gradually decreasing oil subsidies and funneling those to clean tech.

For example what if those climate scientist are right, we only have one biosphere.

The 3rd with Epstein - he isn't a scientist and he didn't present any evidence either (maybe he does in this book). But I get his point, of course fossil fuels were and are useful and helped to build our civilization. But the counterpoint is that we need to get off it and ensure that we use the cleanest form of fossil fuels.

Even if it's confirmed at a later stage that there is no man made climate change that's a threat, the fossil fuel industry creates pollution that's not healthy for humans and other life on this planet. We have the know how, but not enough is being done to make the shift. Of course it's not realistic to suddenly ban the use of fossil fuels. But more needs to be done to invest in clean tech.

Again, what if those models and scientists are right that man made climate change is a threat. We don't really want to experiment with our only habitat.

LIke the moderator from the rubin report, since I'm not a scientist in these matters, I need to take what the majority of scientist are saying more seriously vs some fringe scientist who only say the others didn't prove anything therefore we can continue as usual.

Better be safe than sorry.

Anyway, thanks for posting those links - but I'm not convinced yet and I rather err on the cautious side and try to continue reducing my carbon footprint, even if Lindzen thinks it's just a symbolic gesture

PS: I didn't watch the 2nd video, only the first few minutes. This format looked a bit more promising, but the debate is from 2007 - that's over 10 years ago - new data and maybe new models have emerged since then to give us a better understanding of climate change. I parked this for now.
There are positive and negative impacts of GDPR. Yes, poorly implemented consent is annoying, but forcing companies to use time and energy on privacy is super positive.

I have spent the last nine months in a few different co-working spaces here in Denmark, and all startups there have informed and essential conversations about handling users data. Just a few years ago that would never have been a topic. For me that's a very positive change.
Why is it bad that some people are not effective altruists? (Of course if someone is just giving out of guilt, then the shiny booklet industry is a scam basically, but I don't think we have data about this.)
The flaws in an earlier design can't be a justification for absence of upgrade. Since 1960 we had build thousands of structures higher than 150m. Skyscrapers are not exactly a novely. We have the tools and the knowledge.

They had 51 years, 51! to raise a damned wall 20 m. Had all the new information, improved models, latest computers and warnings... and they didn't do anything. Neither Tesco, nor the Japanese government were able to see it coming. Their lack of vision is really infuriating.
It should be noted that the special sauce that makes arithmetic really difficult is induction.

I kinda get what's happening. The Reuters article distills over 12-16 months of civic debate and consultations into one small article that entirely misrepresents what Sidewalk Labs is trying to do.

Google wanted a way to see what people are doing on a macro-and-micro city level - like being able to apply Google Analytics on a real-life basis.

So they started discussions with Toronto to plan a kind of smart city. These discussions have been going on in the background for about a year, with media blitz, public discussions, etc and that's what the last sentence in the Reuters article is about: " Toronto City Councillor Paula Fletcher expressed concerns about the proposal.

“I was terribly shocked because this was not within the scope of the project. I think it’s a big credibility problem for everybody.”

The article is deliberately hiding critical parts of the project that has been front and center in Toronto civics debate - indeed, the scope of the project (the new Google office, the data collection, etc) has been on vice motherboard, major tech media, and has been on hacker news multiple times. Mostly centered around the Google/Alphabet/Sidewalk Lab's vision of what a "smart city" within the city of Toronto would look like.

You are missing huge pieces of the puzzle, entirely the goal of what they wanted to do, and various posters have been linking facts about the project, and not just the misrepresentations stated in the Reuters article.

It's not as "huge", as they make it look.
The goal of the technique is to increase data efficiency (number of real world tries it needs to learn). So instead of using real trajectories it simulates trajectories (that's planning), and learn from these.

These lines of ideas is not new. The main problems associated with it are that it is almost always more computationally expensive (you learn from real and dreamed trajectories) and it is harder to learn as it is susceptible to a kind of exposure bias : Once you have built a model like "the earth is flat", then you will simulate/dream trajectory according to it, diluting the weak evidence you can get from real data telling you that the "earth is round", and so it gets stuck with a wrong model.

The performance gain you refer to is a gain relative to a naive way of doing things i.e. working in pixel space.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of the model based approach, and every small step in this direction is good as it helps with explain-ability. This paper is one of these nice small steps, but doesn't compare to the gain of previous techniques like experience-replay, or hindsight-experience-replay.

The article actually starts by acknowledging that there used to be a feature called "Unsend", and that the issue being reported here is NOT about that. From what I understand, Twitter keeps storing messages that the _recipient has deleted_ even after the _sender account was closed_. I don't think it would be an unreasonable expectation to see these messages deleted from Twitter storage.

The question IMO is, at what point should you stop storing a message that no user can actually access anymore? That data is not good to keep for anyone, since both sender and recipient expressed a desire to delete it.

Please sign your outgoing mails if you have a key.

Of the PGP mails I get, most are just encrypted to me.
That is cryptographically not a sound idea, but it also means that I cannot encrypt back, because I don't know which key to encrypt to.

The keyservers do not validate anything. They are just a storage medium. In fact, for my personal e-mail address, a prankster has uploaded a rogue key. There is no process by which I can ask for its removal. People who just take the key from the keyserver have a 50% chance to send me data I cannot decrypt.

This is not a PGP weakness. It has been quipped that cryptography is a method to reduce a generic problem to a key exchange problem. There is some truth to that.

Then if at some point further down the line the criminal gets arrested in relation to another crime, they use the location of the artwork as leverage during plea bargaining.

> That tool seems like it might be a good replacement for `gpg -c`

The tool still can't be compiled under MinGW-w64:

./libcperciva/util/getopt.h:35:2: error: unknown type name 'sigjmp_buf'; did you mean 'jmp_buf'?

That is, there's no executable that can run natively on Windows. To compare, Git compiles and runs natively.

(I've once tried to remove the dependencies in the code, step by step, but after each step something more would be visible, so I gave up. I also don't know if it would run under Cygwin.)

Of course I don't expect the compatibility from the author, I just state that I'm not aware that the Windows version even exists, and that it limits the possibilities of the use of the tool.

> My frustration is that a lot of the solutions provided are raw libraries rather than end-user tools.

I fully agree with you. There's effectively no replacement for gpg -c as far as I see.

https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/crypto/nacl/secretbox

"It is the caller's responsibility to ensure the uniqueness of nonces" "Thus large amounts of data should be chunked so that each message is small. (Each message still needs a unique nonce.) If in doubt, 16KB is a reasonable chunk size."

It's far from being anything that can be immediately and safely used even if one were willing to use Go to compile it.

Which is sad, as gpg -c is such a basic functionality, and gpg is definitely too big and potentially problematic tool for that purpose (for years defaults of gpg -c were almost insecure, and even now it's hard, or maybe impossible, to achieve the quality that some much smaller tool could, if it existed).

My own wish: a tool that fits into single binary so that it can be easily inspected, ideally the binary itself is also as small as possible and doesn't depend on unnecessary shared libraries, uses only one algorithm of everything, but according to the best knowledge we have today. If the algorithms have to be changed to the level of incompatibility, a new tool is released (e.g tool has compatible versions 1.x until the produced files can be opened with the new version, as soon as the format changes the versions go 2.x etc, but every format version is a self contained tool which can be completely easily inspected because it supports only one format and one algorithm per purpose). And it's truly multiplatform. gpg is just too big now, but I don't know what can replace it at this moment.

Bus + train is much faster than Uber, for example in NY. You’d take an Uber in order to have the luxury of riding alone or with a small group instead of a crowd, or because you have a large suitcase, but absolutely not because it’s faster. This is no different than the same tradeoff for taxis.

And the context of this subthread is about Uber as a full solution for commuting. So my original claim still holds. If things like always riding alone or always transporting luggage are impacting your daily commute decision and making you believe that paying the premium for Uber is cost effective, then necessarily it’s even more cost effective for you to buy and maintain your own car, and satisfy those unusual commute preferences in a way that amortizes the costs of operating your own car even in a dense urban area.

Some slight corrections/comments (source, German who went through our education system)

1. Depending on the university, you might not even have to print anything out, I applied to TUM purely digital IIRC
2. While I was studying they abolished the study fees. What you pay is student unions dues, which depending on which state include a public transportation ticket, access to additional medical consultations and career services and other stuff
3. We can also apply for federal study aid, depending on need. I worked and had parents who could support me, so I "only" got around 6000€ for all of my studies (plus an additional 3000 for studying abroad in Switzerland for a while) of which I'll have to repay 50% interest free, less if I can pay it off in a lump sum.
4. This is a very social-democratic German perspective, but I'd argue education is a right and should be given to everyone, limited only by the available resources. Conditional on limited resources split it between prioritising need (e.g., increasing social mobility) and prioritising ROI (in a rough sense, merit)

As an aside, I will be happily corrected if this is wrong, but I remember reading that in 2012 Germany graduated almost as many engineers (3 years bachelor plus master graduates, most of whom did a bachelor before) as the US (4 year bachelor with most people not going for the master of not as part of a PhD, if I understand correctly?). While I'm sure you can't exactly equate these numbers, with population numbers of 82e6 Vs 300e6 this seemed to me like the German system was doing something right - especially given German engineers seem(?) to be well qualified in the international comparison
Does it work?

I mean, it's much easier for a tax inspector to simply go to the store, when it's busy, and wait for the slip up (when the clerk accepts money but does not use the register).

But in my opinion this was rare even before. And in really small operations, they don't have a register anyway. (Or take the gamble and don't use it.)
