You may be correct on the first two, but I am not sure how the jet fuel use is going to go away - wouldn't it be increasing ? Also, according to IEA, rising use of plastics will drive oil demand

Even with a push in sustainability, plastics use is increasing not dropping:

Thankfully you can still get stuff at the hardware store. The plumbing supply section has copper sulfate, sodium hydroxide, and sulfuric acid. The pool supply section has 10 molar hydrochloric acid. The garden section has sulfur. The paint section has xylene, acetone, and methanol.

For example, you can purify garden sulfur by recrystallizing it with xylene. This is plenty dangerous, since xylene is almost like gasoline (a bit less volatile) and you'll be heating it up nearly to boiling. The aromatic ring structure is required; most other solvents produce deadly hydrogen sulfide gas.

>As Milton Friedman has pointed out, the loser of protectionist policies are the countries that practice them.

Milton Friedman says that because he's a policy advisor of countries that benefit from others dropping their protectionist policies.

At a certain state of development (and when you are not yet top dog to dictate what "free" trade means to other countries), you need some well balanced protectionist policies. The US itself rose thanks to its protectionist policies. Britain too -- as did all others major powers when it served them well.

"Britain was the first country to successfully use a large-scale infant industry promotion strategy. However, its most ardent user was the U.S.; the economic historian Paul Bairoch once called it "the homeland and bastion of modern protectionism"

People do change, but people who sexually abuse children outside of their immediate family do so far more rarely than, well, most other socially unacceptable behaviors.

Largely they can't, other than having a Highlander situation where they fight each other until only one platform remains.

Java went round this circle. First there was AWT: use the platform-native widgets. Of course, this results in your application looking different on every platform in hard-to-predict ways. So people wrote Swing: single non-native GUI that looks the same everywhere. Eventually people got fed up of the poor performance and non-nativeness of Swing, so they wrote SWT (used in Eclipse) which uses the native widgets again.

If your application is native, then it looks different on different platforms - and you have to test and debug on all of them. If it's non-native, it can look the same on all platforms.

Arguably, US (and to a lesser extent Israel) have committed or supported far more international human rights abuses, war crimes and terrorism than any other modern country. So yes, we are not sympathetic to mindless anti-China propaganda even though we may not fully support "communist regimes" too.

>They undermine it every day they refuse to allow free trade. The US and others spent a lot of resources building the free trade system of the world...

I.e. the kind of trade that they dictate and call "free", creating banana republics that cut them special deals, toppling governments when they don't like their decisions, using humanitarian and development funding (even from supposedly independent sources, like the IMF) as bribes and pressure to secure special treatment , insisting on the dollar being used in major trade as opposed to the euro or the yuan (and punishing those states that make the opposite "free" decision), getting their hands on oil producing countries, and so on.

And of course using protectionism whenever they like for themselves ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protectionism_in_the_United_St... ).

Some free trade...

This attitude to googling is poisonous. I once helped an elderly relative in my teens with his router and I got the same treatment after I googled the answer. Later we watched a court drama the entire family, with the same relative present, and there was a scene where the lawyers crack the books and review the legal paper work. Being the obnoxious teen I was I couldn't help myself from blurting out "Wow, what terrible lawyers, look at them doing research for their cases before they solve the problems. Wow, I figured they could recite every law and ruling ever by heart since they supposedly know what they're doing, now I question why the defendant doesn't just represent himself, I mean everyone can read a book, right? This movie is so unrealistic!"

The infant industry argument is controversial, but assuming for a second it is correct, how is that related to the discussion about what course the US should take towards China right now? The US does not need industry protection. The US is the most advanced country on the planet.

When the US administration gets into a tradewar that makes Chinese commodities more expensive and stops American farmers from selling soybeans, how exactly is this to the benefit of anyone?

The answer is clearly that the narrative is purely political and not economical. Playing up China as an economic enemy rather than a partner resonates with a relatively small, but vocal minority of the voterbase, who for ideological reasons seeks conflict with China.
They aren't stopping other countries from doing the same yet. And the reason for that is that they are still the underdog so it makes sense to turn a blind eye to their domestic industries violating American IP laws.

Just like it makes sense for the US to enact and attempt to enforce restrictive IP laws on a global scale.

Make no mistake once China ascends they will enforce their will on the world just like the US has done and it will be ugly.

Careful, there's a slippery slope to drawing these conclusions about other classes of undesirables that start with your broad and unproven statement about sex offenders.

That's a point, I was assuming low impedance output stages as would be standard for any ordinary hifi equipment these days (but not necessarily for the really expensive stuff of course...).

Some of the expensive cables are over-dimensioned or crazily constructed leading to excess capacitance and/or impedance which would lead to terrible performance with a high impedance driver.
> That said, they edits were deliberately just replacing like with like, so it would be expected that they survive.

To the extent that we only consider encoded proteins, sure. But DNA and RNA has secondary and tertiary structure that does things - it isn't just bits on a hard drive. Riboswitches and Catalytic RNA are good examples.

For example: (https://www.nature.com/scitable/topicpage/rna-functions-352)

> the elevated temperature inside the host's body melts the secondary structure of a segment in the 5' untranslated region of the mRNA produced by the bacterial prfA gene. As a result of this alteration in secondary structure, a ribosome-binding site is exposed, and translation of protein can take place

Riboswitch overview: (https://www.nature.com/scitable/topicpage/riboswitches-a-com...)

> as long as it wasn't directly fatal the bacteria would grow

The abstract states that 18,214 occurrences were edited. The fact that such drastic structural changes to DNA and RNA weren't immediately fatal is what surprises me. It's believable enough, but I would not have predicted it.

I wonder if they just got lucky with (or perhaps strategically chose) the specific codon substitutions to perform? Would a different set of synonym substitutions have been nonviable?

> I'd be interested in seeing how much change was accumulated after 24 hours.

Very much this. Also, a sibling comment mentions the E. coli long-term evolution experiment; I'd be very interested to find out what changed to compensate for this over hundreds or even thousands of generations.

> Part of the problem in the US is of course that prisons are big business.

This is directly debunked in the article: "By now it has become almost conventional wisdom to think that private prisons are the 'real' problem with mass incarceration. But anyone seriously engaged with the subject knows that this is not the case. Even a cursory glance at numbers proves it: Ninety-two percent of people locked inside American prisons are held in publicly run, publicly funded facilities, and 99 percent of those in jail are in public jails."
Prisons might not help prevent crime but surely help prevent retaliations.

Victims that support keeping their offenders out of jail might exist but I'm not aware of such cases.

China has done what every developing country should do (Edit: and what the likes of Japan and Korea did before them)

If you open your economy when you are relatively undeveloped and weak then foreign companies will immediately occupy your economy and you can forget about creating national 'champions'.

China is not a closed market but they are careful not to fall into that trap.

Unfortunately, decontamination and cleaning are not enough to revive the city.
Residents are needed, but they do not want to come back. They remain suspicious of the actions of the government, which assures them that radiation levels have fallen to safe levels.
They remember how, just a few years ago, this same government unilaterally raised them. Additionally, the newly opened cities still lack infrastructure — shops, hospitals and restaurants. And, chiefly, neighbors.
As a result, both cities remain practically empty. Eight years after the disaster and two after their opening, only about 5% of residents have returned. The vehicles and people seen on the streets only create the appearance of an inhabited city. The majority are cars belonging to construction companies and workers here to clean the area and demolish buildings.

That's very poetically written but I think you might be neglecting the fact that one of the monk's primary duties was (and still is) to lead a life of prayer, and in their worldview this is very much an ongoing spiritual battle against Satan and all his demons who are continuously attempting to overthrow the kingdom of God, mostly by tempting the people of the surrounding lands into sin or by allowing their opponents to prevail. Snails are a real threat too, but by no means the only enemy in the mind of an actual practising monk.

> It's not clear to me that she actually believes that.

It's unfortunate that a long, in-depth, sympathetic article titled "Is Prison Necessary? Ruth Wilson Gilmore Might Change Your Mind" didn't make it clear to you whether Ruth Wilson Gilmore believes prison is necessary.

Personally I have taken prison abolitionists at their word, that they actually do want to abolish prisons. I have long been genuinely curious how they would handle serious crime in the complete absence of prisons. I expect this is the first thing most people would want to know about their program. It's surprising and disappointing that the article (and other articles I've read on this subject) fails to answer that question.
Why does Unix time first travel forward one second, then go backwards one second, versus "pausing" (flat line on the graph) one second? Both have their pros and con; if the graph accurately depicts how Unix time is implemented, why was this decision made versus the other?

I think for my location (Europe, mainly) that is a fairly typical amount of spending for a month of food. However, I spend that for roughly two people and from the times I've had to buy food in Asia (admittedly some years ago) it is quite a lot cheaper than it would be here.

That would put it at maybe twice as expensive (or even slightly more) as a non-restricted diet. Is that a fair assessment?

As others has observed the economies of USA and China are tied at the hip.

China sells goods cheaply to USA and takes the dollars it makes and invest in US treasuries. This keeps inflation low and keeps interest rates low. And allows the US to maintain an unnatural high living standard with low savings and asset price inflation.

The central bank may be able to compensate from the lack of Chinese buying but it is an unsustainable situation as the inflationary pressure from the lack of imports would be in full force.

Also notice that Singapore seems to be saying: Please don't ask us to pick sides ...

The US may have fewer friends in Asia than it assumes.

Finally, think really carefully about how you’re going to retain the maths you learn because if you don’t you can be sure that a month after your exam you won’t remember a scooby.

I don't think you've considered what you are saying. You're not describing a gapping strategy, you're just describing a slower driver (i.e. slower traffic). There is no question that a car consistently driving slower than ambient traffic speed is a net drag on overall throughput. In any single lain of traffic all cars are bound by the slowest car. If you drive 5 mph slower than the car in front of you then the car behind you must drive 5 mph slower still to continually produce gaps behind you. As the video illustrates introducing a slower driver is one of the things that creates phantom stop signs.

Of course you must maintain speed. The point of a gap is to allow for adjustments without the hard breaking that would create a phantom stop sign. That is the overall intent of the system. Move the most people as expediently as is safe from point a to point b. The best way to do this is to avoid speed differentials, being slower then ambient traffic speed creates a speed differential.

Spanish trade unions are corrupt, one of the two major unions is straight out a branch of the "socialist" party in power. Makes me laugh that bank employees are unionized.
