> Because a solution that can only possibly delay the climate change by a decade or two with extreme change to global ecosystems by immense program of forestation is no solution at all.

> Indeed, these 1.2T live trees will sequester the carbon. I do not question that.

It seems we agree that as long as these 1.2T trees are living (and any ones that die are replaced), the carbon will be sequestered. As long as humanity can keep on doing that, the delay will be... indefinite. Are we in agreement on that point?

With the leaky pipe analogy, it seems you are worried we'll run out of room to put dead trees. Indeed, burying them is a great idea, and that can be combined with Hügelkultur technique to produce better growing conditions for other plants, including... more trees.

As far as some of the other concerns you raise: the Trees.org organization can have a tree planted for $0.10 (by people who are happy to plant it and take care of it). By that measure, it seems this method is the least expensive (if we judge effort by the amount it costs) and least extreme of all. Will Trees.org be able to scale to 1.2T trees? It's hard to say. They've planted 155M trees so far, so they need to scale by a factor of ~10000x. It will certainly be hard, but it seems to be possible: we have room for them in places where trees previously grew (see the link to the study where the 1.2T number comes from). Recently, India planted 50M trees in one day; a startup has a goal to plant 500B trees by 2050 (if they have two equally-capable competitors, the 1.2T quota can be met before then).

What ecosystems will be destroyed by planting trees? Currently deforested areas? That seems hard to believe.

I view any carbon sequestration efforts to be a partial stop-gap effort until the world becomes mostly electrified and using renewable/nuclear energy. I am for all kinds of carbon sequestration efforts, but as a consumer, I would like them to be relatively inexpensive, and not have an unknown side effect. Planting trees meet both these requirements.

Can you help me understand, what are possible inputs to ampligraph?

I think the main use-case is plugging in an existing knowledge graph, and it filling in the gaps, correct?

Can I augment this will really high-quality embeddings for the nodes, that were learned over auxiliary unlabelled text?

What are other ways I can augment the data set?

Is this useful only when there are many edge-types, or is it also good when there are very few?

It looks promising, I just couldn't immediately grok when I use should look to this library.
Fail-fast only has a hope of getting the problem fixed if it occurs with popular software within a few months of product launch. In the case of using a motherboard with DIMMs that didn't exist until the MB was obsolete, you're never going to get the vendor to fix it, unless you have a very expensive long-term supply and support contract of the sort that doesn't exist for consumer parts.
How about the Voodoo3 with the giant blue dongle?
Well until '65 there were agressive immigration restrictions on Asians, so I expect that would reduce the number available with the required skills.
That's the commutative property. It is really nice to have operations that are commutative monoids, where you can re-order the operands, and combine them in any order, and get the same result. Then if you want to perform that operation (ex. Addition) over a set of operands (ex. Integers), you can do it in parallel, where each process can take any set of intermediate results, and perform the operation on them.
If your primary point is "We're the ethical ones fighting for the good", people will hold you to that.

While I generally think there's lots of overblown criticism of Mozilla and that Mozilla is still far ahead of the others in these regards overall, it's worrysome that they get basics like this wrong.
It's worth pointing out that blindly hammering away on the wrong problem is a failure mode for many intelligent people.

Also, being right about something, but at the wrong time. That's the worst failure mode of all IMO.

The logic doesn't follow the other direction. It isn't a necessary condition. We're doing (93% paint splatter -> perl code) but that isn't equivalent to (93% perl code -> paint splatter). The first could be valid AND the following can be valid (0.1% perl code -> paint splatter)

He had been involved in a long harassment campaign against her

There is no evidence of this. This is a Citogenesis fiction pushed by niche media. Making videos criticizing someone's videos isn't harassment. Patreon did an investigation just after the incident. My understanding was there was nothing. If there's evidence of him doing anything, it is actually of him attempting the "harassment" (really just insulting) white supremacists using toxic language.

then shows up in the front row at her panel. That is not an innocent act.

If there is no harassment of Ms. Saarkesian, that is an innocent act.

Note the pattern here. There is simple, straightforward evidence of people just sitting there while a speaker hurls abuse over the PA system. To explain this away, a narrative is needed, which includes some sort of conspiracy theory. Immediately following the incident, Patreon found nothing. Just prior to that, the GamerGate movement was investigated by law enforcement, and they also found nothing.

Just take the facts at face value. Occam's Razor. The simplest explanation is that mainstream media takes the narrative from biased niche media and does not fact check. Please notice that the evidence on your side is all weak "guilt by association" and easy to fabricate narratives.
eh you know that doesn't mean 96000 opposed this though? do you yourself actually care other than the fact that a specific group of people complained?

It is important to understand the following:

Depending on the problem, choose the right tools. For example so far everything I've seen about React and GraphQL tells me that maybe GQL isn't necessarily the best solution for a 5-person team, but a 100 person team may have a hard time living without it.

Kubernates / Docker is significant work. And when we had 4 developers making that effort was wasteful and we literally didn't have the time. Now at 20 we're much more staffed and the things Kubernates / Docker solves is useful.

Meanwhile we have a single PostgreSQL server. No nosql caching layer. We're at a point where we aren't sure how far we gotta go before we hit limits of a PSQL server, but at least 3-4 years before we hit it.

Point is look at the tools. See where these tools win it for you. Don't just blindly pick because it can scale super well. Pick it because it gives you things you need and a simplicity you need for the current and near-term context, and have a long-term strategy how to move away from it when it is no longer useful.
So pickpocketing is just finding a "wardrobe inefficiency"? Burglary is finding a "lock inefficiency"?
By pretending that everyone has equal faculties like this, you're denying the lifelong daily challenges of a huge group of people.

I’m surprised people can even act like they care. We had one generation awhile back made it so affordable housing existed for the young and where banks were alright with mortgages being done. That very same generation that could obtain a home in their 20s without requiring a degree. Now runs the show where the young are being pressured into obtaining a degree and fill small rentals that continue to rise in cost. People should be able to have a place they truly consider their own. Mental health depends on it. People just don’t care.
Sleep, at least on Windows, is allowed to have +/- 15 ms (default system heartbeat interval) of accuracy, which I don't think would work for this case.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/api/synchap...

I could mess around with the Win32 API or the NT API or something to make the heartbeat rate more granular, but according to the docs that kills battery, so I'm guessing it's going to be doing pretty much the same thing as what I'm doing manually.

Regarding the Boston rally and the south Asian candidate: you're talking about Shiva Ayyadurai, the guy who (in my understanding of reports, which could be erroneous) sues people who contradict his claim of having invented electronic mail, has (to my understanding, which could be flawed) appeared on white supremacist podcasts, and used (as I understand it, based on reports) a caricature of himself as Pepe the Frog in his campaign pins? Who appeared (I have read in sources) in a video with a Charlottesville alt-righter

None of that is evidence this guy is a white supremacist. Which podcast did he appear on?

and "blessed" a statue of "kek"? That's the basis of your claim that the media got this story wrong?

That's hardly evidence of anything. The "Kek" character meant a lot of things to different people. Again, this is an example of narrative pushing and Citogenesis.

Yours is the side that has to explain away facts with narratives. If you look at the Hard Bastard video, you'll see a number of brown faces in that "white supremacist" rally. To explain that away, you need more narrative.

In any case, that narrative isn't even sufficient to avoid the charge that the media is being misled by narratives. By the network's own telling, they "didn't have access" to the Gazebo and what was going on. So on what did they base their narrative? The answer, is that they just took the narrative from far left people and didn't check.

Also, note that the VidCon event fits this pattern. Video evidence from facts on the ground tell us: Some people are attending a convention together and just sitting there peacefully, then a speaker starts harassing them. Those are just the simple facts on the ground. To explain this away, more narrative is needed -- that of a harassment campaign and shadowy conspiracies. There is no evidence for this campaign. Investigation by Patreon and earlier law enforcement concluded there was nothing there. Instead, video criticism is spun as "harassment" by a narrative, which gets taken up into the mainstream media unchecked and unverified.

There is a bubble englobing SV CEOs and the surrounding circles, and it's mostly narratives supported by emotions and vice versa. (And not a little dishonest spinning and editing of dialogue and interviews, for which there's ample evidence as well.)
> At one point we attempted to migrate to Heroku Shield to address some of these issues, but we found that it wasn’t a good fit for our application.

This part seems very hand wavy, given that Heroku Shield would've solved many (all?) of their problems.

> We were also running into limitations with Heroku on the compute side: some of our newer automation-based features involve running a large number of short-lived batch jobs, which doesn’t work well on Heroku (due to the relatively high cost of computing resources).

How much memory did their batch jobs actually need? If they're using Rails, then I'm assuming they're just running a bunch of Sidekiq jobs that are querying PG. I'm surprised that they'd need that much in terms of compute resources. They should be able to get very, very far by making PG do a lot of the work, or by streaming data from PG and not holding a lot of data in memory.

Even if they did need all this, the following two options seem WAY easier to manage:

1) Use dokku to run your super-intense Sidekiq batch jobs on beefy EC2 instances. You can still schedule them in your Rails app in Heroku, no big deal. Many engineering teams have to do this type of split-up anyway when it comes to Application Engineers and Data Engineers, this is just a simpler way to do it.

2) Similar to 1), use a different language runtime for the batch jobs. If you really need to run CPU intensive jobs, why are you using Ruby? If the jobs aren't so intense to mandate maintaining two languages (fwiw, not that hard), why will moving to k8s solve the issue?

Personally, I'm not sold on their decision to move to Kubernetes, and I use Kubernetes for my job.
I was the lead and pretty much only programmer for the Canopus Pure3D. Ours had 12 RAM chips for 6 MB of memory. 2 MB extra Woo hoo! We also featured a Chrontel chip for composite and S-Video output.

This isn't second order thinking. Deciding to eat a salad when you're hungry instead of a candy bar because you value health over immediate satisfaction is discipline, not intelligence. You're still thinking linearly about the costs and benefits of the decision, you're just placing more emphasis on the longer term costs and benefits. Second order thinking refers to holistically looking at a situation to see emergent behaviors, which allows the intelligent to see things that are not intuitive. Second order thinking would be choosing a salad when you're hungry so that salad becomes associated with relieving hunger, thus making it easier to choose salads going forward, which will create a positive feedback loop keeping you on your diet. It's the self-interaction of the decision that makes it qualitatively more complex than first order thinking.

This seems a little overstated. As I understand it the plane isn't actually aerodynamically unstable and isn't going to stall itself without the pilot pulling into it. The main issue seems to have been software to me.

I'm not saying they should avoid using a third sensor. It sounds like a good idea. But I'm not sure it's required for airworthiness, after you move from one to two.

> To be clear, I'm not some hard core libertarian that thinks everyone has made their bed and therefore should sleep in it. I think the struggle to conform one's life to productive positive decisions is ubiquitously difficult and just telling people their problems are their own fault has probably never helped a situation.

Not super relevant to the topic at hand, but I am a very hardcore libertarian, and I have to say that this is not an accurate representation of libertarian views.

It's not your fault, this seems to be a common misconception among many, even some of those who call themselves libertarian.

Libertarian philosophy does indeed stress personal responsibility as a part of voluntary interactions with others. However, this doesn't mean that a person's status is deterministic. Many of people's problem are not their own fault: hell, many of the problems are caused by the state, which is why we hate it. The problems that aren't caused by the state (scarcity, some inequality, externalities, etc) ate very difficult to solve, and state attempts to fix them usually result in even worse outcomes.

To bring it back around to second-order thinking, it's very important in politics especially to be able to see these unforseen consequences of political action. First-order thinking is how we end up with things like the PATRIOT Act and other emotionally-driven policies.
This sounds like an elegantly simple solution.

This also brings back fond memories working for a larger resort and my team building an integrated lift status system. Simple API on top of a relational database, easy to use web application for lift operations to update lift status in realtime, integrated PDF generation to print reports for numerous front-desks (think all the main lodges, hotels, and businesses in town to receive and print). The big win was a large number of large plasma screens running out lift status flash application in various lodges with long runs of HDMI to proxy servers all getting pub/sub realtime status updates. The Flash application had continuous polling via AMF to our proxy servers with a cache layer, etc. and it was pretty well received by guests. We also had the same API support all mobile apps at the time. The big customer-loving feature was getting alerts when a lift was about to open on a bluebird powder day and get that to them in near realtime often before many of the "lifties" knew.

When I first saw 3dfx graphics, I knew it was the dawn of a new era.

I bought thousands of dollars in stock in the company. I lost it all because unfortunately nVidia ate their lunch because they marketed themselves better. They had full 32-bit color vs 3dfx who had the superior technology but only had 16 or 24 bit color. 3DFX spent a lot of time trying to explain why it didn't matter but in the end it did. It mattered to the gamers at the time, and they basically died and I lost a huge amount of money that took years to pay off. It took me a long time to move over to nVidia because of my hurt ego but they were the superior technology in the long run.
I don't understand where the energy is coming from to complete the cycle?
I don't know. A lot of the problems that occured on planes were hard to predict even though they go through the rigorous process you mention. Battery fire on B787. Cargo door on DC10. Engine leaks on A380, etc. These are all quality/design issues that were not predicted.
I thought this was a remarkably bizarre sentence:

> "Unlike the wires we know from everyday life, where electric current runs directly through the wire, the current runs in a circular fashion as it proceeds through these molecules. This behaviour is due to a quantum mechanical effect known as electrohelicity, which in this case causes electrons in molecules to move in a helical fashion, spiralling around the molecule."

It's a circular definition. They basically said "the current runs in a circular fashion due to a quantum mechanical effect known as current-runs-in-circular-fashionicity, which in this case causes current to run in a circular fashion"

The atmosphere then becomes a kind of carbon reservoir and we tune the CO2 content to match our needs. Either we want to control temperatures, or we want liquid carbon fuels which are, to date, the best aerial platform fuel form. For maximum Carbon availability and use/recycling, we would want to put all the carbon locked in oil/underground into the atmosphere where it is far more available to use. This allows the Earth system to maximize its metabolic rate. Maybe we should see the burning of fossil fuels as the unlocking of Earth's buried carbon repositories so they can be more easily used. Plants concur.
