I had never heard of this so I googled around a bit. Thanks for bringing it up. It looks like an interesting area of active research. Apparently one of the promising minerals for sequestration is olivine, which, by some galactic irony, is largely sourced in the oil-producing nation of Norway.

As a long time F1 fan, I love the premise of this article. Perhaps we should also investigate the correlation between team marketing budgets vs web site speed, as that seems to be a major talking point about their R&D budgets vs track speed these days...
I loved the article! I used to have to maintain some custom ckeditor plugins related to custom elements, spell checking and autocompletion at a job and that article resonated deeply with me on a personal level. I would love to read another article about the new editors :)
Seems like a good idea, I wish I had more of a statistical background for this kind of thing. Seems like it'd have proved more useful for most software purposes than the calculus I had to take instead as a prerequisite.

It's basically just my boss making suggestions and me implementing, so the results are probably less than optimal for this kind of thing.
And based on Google's track record and extremely money-centric business style, along with a complete lack of humanity towards their users, makes me not trust their ToS. Do you?

It's funny how sometimes setting a too-low price is considered competitive (such as a sale or loss leader) and other times it's considered anti-competitive.
Bunching happens most often with crowded buses and results in the front bus in a cluster becoming crowded. Crowded buses are most likely to have people getting off at every stop. The ones I take often have people ringing for every stop even when nearly empty.
This is becoming too common. Laura Poitras has documented her harassment as have multiple others activists and journalists. The idea of opaque no fly and other secret lists, secret processes and demanding to go through people's personal papers is totalitarian.

If this happened in China or for instance Venezuela there is instant global outrage about 'freedom' and yet every time the exact same thing happens in the UK or the US the outrage is quickly replaced by legalese and apologism. Surely if people cared so much about any of these values they would severely push back when it happens in their own backyard but we rarely see that, just more demonizing others which quickly loses meaning and becomes complicit in the descent to a quasi police state.

Many who make sweeping statement about 'democracy' and 'freedom' seem to be severely disconnected from things on the ground as those those who use these 'freedoms' in any serious way in terms of actual activism or critical journalism however slight end up on some kind of list and singled out for harassment.

> A product needs to be 10x better than a network effect alternative to have a shot at replacing it.

This isn't true, sometimes it's just fashion. At its inception Facebook wasn't 10x better than MySpace. Moreover, ride sharing doesn't benefit from the kind of network effects that social network do. I'm stuck on Facebook because that's where many of my friends are. I have no reason at all to care at all which ride-sharing app my friends use. Even old-school email is more sticky in this regard, my Gmail account has a bunch of historical email I want to keep - so it's unlikely I'll ever delete it entirely. What's in my Uber account? Ride history? Why do I care about keeping that?

A think a better parallel is airlines. I have almost no loyalty to any airline, I just choose the flights that go where I want with the least cost/pain. Why would ride-sharing be that different?
step one is don't carry a mobile phone

You can carry one if you don't use it to contact people you know. But of course you will, ignoring the advice from the tough guy that's trying to save you, according to every movie ever touching the subject.

More sophisticated attacks would identify your usage pattern, the date you bought the new phone, the train that sounds in the background or even the fact that you log in in your favourite cat videos site.
There's something to be said for explicitly commuting the least distance (constrained by affordability) and not when everyone else is:

1. less time wasted -> a. more time to be productive in primary pursuits, b. more leisure time and c. if during business hours, more productivity accomplishing errands

2. less stress
Well, to be frank back, the steps are sequential not parallel. I haven't read anything about the CVR but if they were praying instead of flying that's a huge mistake. They didn't have much time though and they didn't have much altitude to work with(in fact, I just looked it up and they were 450' AGL when they started having some troubles but I couldn't find anything on the cvr transcript). the old adage of aviate, navigate, communicate in that order applies.
I just want a jacket. I don't care about the political opinions of some outdoor clothing company has deemed fashionable/safe enough to get behind.

You can book some trips that go through Germany but don't actually start or end there (e.g., Amsterdam-Göteborg).

Conversely, there are some trips that are best booked online on the web site of the national railway of a third country. For example, the site of the NMBS (Belgian Railways)[0] knows about some Dutch fare reduction cards that the DB (Germany) doesn't know about, while it also knows about more German stations than the NS (Netherlands) does, so some (admittedly fairly obscure) tickets from the Netherlands to Germany can only be bought online on their site.

And if you tell them to clear their cache and revisit the site they will scoff and tell you to "scurry off with your technical nerdistry!" I don't bother trying to rock the boat anymore.

A website can decide which Content Decryption Modules it would like to support, because ultimately the site runs the keyservers and can decide which CDM's keys it would like to generate.

But EME includes a fully freely implementable Clearkey spec. Ultimately sites generally don't want to generate keys for it, but it can be done.
Are they allowed to also skip stops where people want to get off?
I've always wondered why we don't just account for full bus/train loading deloading plus a buffer. Each stop has the mass transit stop for multiple minutes. Bingo, automatic buffer. If the bus is running late, it stops briefly.

Unrestricted free speech was always a strange issue. Hitchens' very eloquently presented how control of speech was used to suppress a lot of groups, and he knew about the dangers of radicalization, incitement, hate speech, but considered those negatives acceptable.

However not everyone thinks that it's so great.

I don't know, and it's probably not something we can just settle easily.

It's usually true, that a society cannot simply rely on "laws" to save it, and when the power imbalance get too extreme, then laws won't save anyone anyway. Though it seems having some kind of policy and publicly agreed way to stop serial inciters is not a bad idea. After all information censorship generally happens through claims of potential national security hazards and other gag orders, not by a too wide interpretation of hate speech laws. (But of course human creativity is pretty limitless when it comes to suppressing others.)
From what I have gathered, reason vests are popular in SF is due to daily weather fluctuations since they are light weight. I did not know they were popular in other cities/metros too. Especially in finance sector.

This is also the case for Brave browser, a dialog opens asking to download the binary. I suspect this is also the case with other Chromium browsers, they may do it without prompting though.
Which, as a patron who doesn't want to sit for an hour in the sun, is really not acceptable. The bus is not supposed to be in a race, they are supposed to make predictable stops along a predetermined route.

Most bus stops I have used in the US dont have covered shelters or enough space for passengers to wait outside of the elements. Usually this means sitting under the overhang of a nearby business. If the bus doesn't want to stop for whatever reason and blows by, it sucks.

Maybe a better future would be a public bus app or button at the stop that I can press to say I am waiting, but until that day, they should stop.
Not to be a pedant (too late), but you probably meant 'uniformly distributed' in this case.
Someone once tried to steal my account and they would not help me unless I gave them the attackers email (they changed it on the account). This despite using the same email for 10 years with them. Luckily amazon auto-filled it on one of their sign in forms so I was able to repeat it back to the customer service agent.

Even then they were non-committal about fixing it despite the person making multiple fraudulent purchases.

This may not work as well as you'd like if passengers need to get off frequently.
Fame is a cost. Some important, meaningful, or even just fun things incur an increased likelihood of accumulating fame, though not all of them. If what you want to do is worth the risk of attracting attention, the tradeoff can be worth it, but I think you're right to say that the cost is growing higher.
The primary consideration is avoiding a monoculture.

If you sit down and study which types of plants sequester the most carbon, and plant a forest comprised entirely of that species, you run into a few problems:

First, parasites tend to be much worse. Whichever parasite prefers that particular type of plant will have an enormous food supply and a subsequent population explosion, with dire consequences for the entire forest. As the plants die, they will release the carbon they've stored.

Second, different plants prioritize pulling different resources out of the ground. There isn't a simple recipe of ax carbon dioxide, bx water, cx nitrogen, dx phosphorus etc = x kg carbon sequestered. Some species need more nitrogen, some need more phosphorus, some need more water etc. Different areas of the soil will have different concentrations of each resource the plants need. By having a diverse population, you will better utilize the soil's diverse resources.

https://phys.org/news/2018-10-species-rich-forests-carbon-mo... DOI: 10.1126/science.aat6405

In the study, the monocultures they studied included monocultures of bamboo and eucalyptus, which are extremely productive monocultures. These plots were still less productive than diverse forests.

You're correct about algae scrubbing carbon faster than forests, however algae to do not sequester appreciable amounts of carbon. It's released back into the environment nearly as quickly as it is removed. Trees, on the other hand, sequester lots of carbon in their trunks and root systems, so they are an important consideration with regards to anthropogenic climate change.
> you can implement EME in its entirety yourself, in open code

Noope. Netflix has explicitly stated, at W3C, that they absolutely won't use any open EME implementation.

In practice any open CDM that you implement yourself will be totally useless. The "open" parts of EME have no real utility, and exist only to be able derail criticism by making rhetorical arguments about hypothetical open implementation, even though it's by definition exactly the opposite what Netflix and Google designed EME for.
> By restricting Widevine access, Google is blocking rendering of content on other people's domains.

This isn't good, but it's not arbitrary control. These companies chose to implement widevine, so they chose to allow Google to dictate who gets to legally use WV.
Informed? How could you possibly make an informed choice without both a Ph.D. and an M.D. and a decade of experience in drug development in the exact same field? Even then, most developments considered highly promising by teams of people having that exact background end up producing nothing useful. And you just want "the" data around efficacy and risk and to make your own decision. Are you supposed to get real-time updates as each new data point comes in? It just makes zero sense to me.
Does anyone know where I can find these posters?
Both buses probably need to drop off passengers, though (who would likely be a lot more enraged than people who don't get picked up by the first bus if they didn't get out where they wanted).

Anyway, I think the leading bus skips stops when possible, at least here. I don't think people mind that too much, because for all they know, the bus might simply be too full, although that certainly only happens on exceptional circumstances if ever around here.

This was always true. Most copyright traditions recognise Droit Moral, and the right for the author to determine the integrity and treatment of the work, and have for, in some cases, literally hundreds of years.
If there was a way to have exploits that only affected non-citizens, I would expect them to explore that enthusiastically. I suspect there is no such thing, but I would absolutely love to be enlightened as to how completely wrong I am!

With that in mind, do you think it would be wise for an intelligence agency to refuse to consider searching for exploitable holes in a platform that is known for a fact to occasionally used by adversaries? Bear in mind that, of course, there are plenty of other groups and agencies doing the same thing.

Do you think this choice would better serve to advance American interests? If so, why? Would the weaknesses the CIA could find cease to be if the CIA was not looking for them? Perhaps you imagine a scenario in which the CIA finds every exploit first, and in doing so causes them to get fixed rapidly. Would you be comfortable with an intelligence agency working hand-in-glove with a major American company selling supposedly-secure consumer goods? Would you trust such an arrangement to protect you?
Riverfront Towers in Detroit Is a Dump
I withheld my rent Feb. 2019 because we had, at that point in time, hot water problems FOR 6 MONTHS!!!! I asked them for a deduction in rent, but they said I was NOT entitled to any money back. I pay 1,500 dollars a month for this dump in Detroit, MI. I got a summons to show up in court for non-payment of rent. This is totally a frivolous lawsuit.

If the moral aspect of it is really important to you then I hope you can find the path to trying again in a different capacity that doesn't compromise on your health. If not then forget I said anything.

The AGPL does have traction, just not in the places you might expect to look. I think that's a red herring anyway because it is indeed a niche license, useful specifically for free software communities where growth and development focused around a network API is happening actively and rapidly, and there is active worry that a bad actor could move in and try to take over the network. This is absolutely not the only issue threatening free software communities currently because not all of them fit that description, so I see why it is quite common for people to dismiss the AGPL. But know that it may just not be what is correct for your use case, and that for many communities a lot of other licenses are still adequate, including the non-copyleft licenses that you have mentioned are gaining a lot of traction due to their popularity within proprietary, closed-source companies.

I have heard a lot of rambling recently about "post-open source" and "post-free software" movements lately but I still think it's jumping the gun. The fact that it's still so difficult to find working libre drivers for wifi chips (and a lot of other pieces of hardware) is proof to me that we still have a lot of work to do, not a convenient excuse to dismiss things entirely and stop caring.
Oh, dang. Fixed.

When busses get bunched here, the lead bus just tends to skip stops and leave them for the trailing bus. This doesn't really seem to help much. They usually both stay pretty close together and, as a passenger, you end up standing there confused as to whether the bus just left you or not if you can't see the one behind.
It's not uncommon to find meteorites on Earth that originated from Mars. Some examples are "Northwest Africa 7034" [1] and Allan Hills 84001 [2].

Allan Hills 84001 famously caused some controversy in 1996 when scientist believed it contained evidence for life on Mars, which ended in an announcement from the President. In the end the consensus seems to be that there was no evidence for life.
