You dump carbon emissions into the air; nobody charges you (editing for clarity - I'm talking about breathing).

It also isn't at all obvious that any given company is doing more damage with the stuff they dump into the air than the positive benefits they create by burning fossil fuels, which is why there isn't more support for charging for carbon emissions.

China is in a much better position to deal with the impacts of climate change after being responsible for ~25% of last years emissions than it would be if it had tried to industrialise using solar panels.

Fossil fuels have positive and negative externalities. Just taxing the negatives and ignoring the positives is not a rational approach.

As for anything POSIX, it's because UNIX is shitware; it took a long time to boot decades ago and it takes a long time to boot now, because more garbage has been piled on top.

By rewriting the IP headers of packets as they traverse routing devices. If you’re trying to say that all NAT devices are stateless firewalls, then your point is even more contrived than I first thought.

Then why can’t other internet connected devices connect to my internet connected laptop? If I’d connected my laptop directly to my ISP then they would be able to. But I didn’t do that, I connected my home router to my ISP, and I connected my laptop to my home router, which is providing access control for me.

And again, here's my idea of a Sci-Fi novel.

Information retrieval is difficult. Many important works in various subjects in human history have been developed much earlier than they were widely known. They remained unknown due to geography, language, culture, and popularity barriers. Even today when everything is online, sometimes important works are still ignored until rediscovered.

What if an alien civilization came to Earth in ~4000 B.C.E and gave human civilizations worldwide a information system, which can: (1) search keywords and obtain full text of any written work related to a topic, (2) obtain the state-of-art researches on a subject by querying it with natural language, (3) create an online forum for scholars to communicate their works, (4) translate the text to any language.

That is, the alien does not directly create or teach any knowledge for/to humans, but help humans to retrieve and communicate existing knowledge to the maximum extent.

What could the alternative human history be? Would we discover Newtonian mechanics 1000 years earlier? You know, if the Greek tradition was followed, or if Arabic scholars were able to communicate their researches directly with Europeans and Asians, discovering Newtonian mechanics 1000 years earlier sounds extremely plausible.

Last time I asked this question, someone suggested that the inevitable consequence is the creation of a global patent system, in which pure objective knowledge can also be patented.

There used to be a pretty easy way to install Linux on MS-DOS running computers (which includes Win 9x) without damaging the existing system in any way. You would place the Linux filesystem inside a C:\LINUX folder on the FAT partition, using the UMSDOS filesystem support that used to be included in the Linux kernel for fs metadata. Booting Linux would be accomplished by first getting to MS-DOS mode (which could be done either at boot or when shutting down Windows 9x) and then running LOADLIN.EXE, a bootloader that ran entirely under MS-DOS (similar to how modern bootloaders run in UEFI).
On some level, you have to figure any country operating in an atmosphere of sustained, overt adversity would have long since divested themselves from any amount of trust placed in areas of technology that one might consider "cyber" oriented.

... which doesn't change that that "default allow" firewall will still pass through all packets, and thus allow access to all your internal devices/machines? Absence of NAT rules does not prevent packets from passing through the firewall, it only prevents rewriting of addresses.
Surprisingly power is a huge factor. Spinning up 48/96 drives on boot can surge beyond what power supplies could handle, so things supported staggered spin ups. This allowed huge banks of drives to start without blowing a power supply, but you don’t know how many drives or if staggered spin up is enabled until it times out. This was a huge boot delay for servers.
I am probably the least knowledgeable on this subject, especially compared to the NASA scientists but why don't they send more "complex/capable" robots like the ones from Boston Dynamics instead of their rovers? I feel like a human type of robot mechanically would be much more capable of doing such tests than a rover with limited range of motion. The rovers already have a continuous wear and tear to their wheels (something I will guess the Boston Dynamics might be a bit better at as there is lesser surface area and rolling friction)?
Microsoft's previous success didn't just cripple their smartphone OS development - it also damaged their sales.

Handset manufacturers like Samsung could see the exorbitant 'Windows tax' that ate into the profit margin of every desktop PC, so they would have preferred open-source Android to closed-source Windows Mobile even if both were free.

I understand that there are important use cases where irreversibility is must. My issue is that in a typical consumer-focused market (like most if not all online shopping or physical shops) it is only to the advantage of the seller and has essentially no benefit for the buyer.
If LetsEncrypt was accelerated by the Snowden leaks, that's a rather sad result. After all, it is absolutely trivial for a nation-state actor to generate SSL certificates for any domain they like, due to the broken state of global PKI. It is sufficient to gain access to any root certificate, or to know a person at a CA that can issue certificates, or to be able to manipulate the domain's nameserver, or to take over the server pointed to by the domain's A record, or to redirect traffic to that server to a middleman at the ISP level, in order to issue a perfectly valid, HSTS-accepted certificate.

SSL helps against the skript kiddie at your local Starbucks, not against the NSA.

(Of course, not being able to monitor and log all web traffic all the time must be a slight inconvenience, especially after the TLS 1.3 SAN changes. But we still shouldn't fool ourselves that just because we can't break it, the NSA can't either.)

Thank you for this useful summary; I think you should consider a discussion of prior work which may undermine the "revolutionary idea over a pint of beer" narrative, but might encourage independent researchers to press on beyond the idea phase.

Wikipedia GAN history (and talk) indicates it's not quite as clear cut as your framing, and this answer below on that subject from somebody who blogged the idea several years previously demonstrates there is often a hinterland of discussion that gives rise to the (genuinely) independent ideas of Goodfellow et al.

In this case the central idea doesn't seem to have been completely original to Goodfellow, though the credit is his for fully pursuing it to implementation in the current model.

The center of Mars is most likely hot that might release Methane produced by bacteria.

"The core of mars is actually molten. The pressure there is 40 gigapascal. hat is 400,000 times the pressure of earth’s surface. The core is about 1500 degrees Kelvin, or 1230 Celsius."

There is bound to be an equilibrium between 1230C and the surface temperature

Surface temperature of Mars
Celsius −143 °C[12] −63 °C 35 °C

" 6° C per km"
https://astronomy.stackexchange.com/questions/14875/what-is-...

6C*6km = 36C degrees Celsius at 6km depth which would be a favourable temperature for bacteria.

We have drilled a 12km on Earth in Russia Kola peninsula so we should be able to build a robotic oil drill platform send it To Mars and drill deep into the Mars core. The drill will have temperature

"Methanogens have been found in several extreme environments on Earth – buried under kilometres of ice in Greenland and living in hot, dry desert soil. They are known to be the most common archaebacteria in deep subterranean habitats. Live microbes making methane were found in a glacial ice core sample retrieved from about three kilometres under Greenland by researchers from the University of California, Berkeley. They also found a constant metabolism able to repair macromolecular damage, at temperatures of 145C to –40C °"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methanogen
Is it though? Isn't our scientists' classification of life limited to what we have on Earth? What if there is even tinnier or other form of life on Mars? I am mostly asking because we already know of extremely small bacteria being able to survive after 32,000 years in ice on Earth. So what if something similar is there on Mars too?

This is completely false. Why are competing language developers so willing to spread misinformation? :)

There are 0 lines of C in the compiler.

Most of it was added last spring when V just didn't have the necessary features. All of C code will be removed this month.

I am aware of that now. But back then, I was a dumb 10 year old kid with a magazine CD and our home didn't even have internet (this is in a developing country). I was so dumb, I used to keep launching the IE browser again and again hoping it would somehow magically connect me to the internet.
My first always-on home Internet was ADSL that came with 2 static IPv4 addrs and no filtering. I ran a server for my own needs, including hosting my own SMTP server, SSH, and SCM for my home directory&projects replication&backup.

At one point, I temporarily hosted a friend's server on my home second IP addr, while he was moving apartments and had a long lead time to move SDSL to the new place. Unbeknownst to me, it wasn't just an email server, but, I learned after the fact, was also hosting a political activism Web site, advocating freeing a person who was in trouble with a government. (I assume friend didn't tell me in an attempt to not to involve me in any possible government disfavor, though I really wished he'd found a different way to host that.)

This was before such activism was done by letting 'social media' companies own and intimately monitor the network and organizing/communications of people involved/interested in any movement. But earlier wasn't ideal either: if you wanted a decent Internet presence, including with your own domain name, you might've had to know how to set up a server, and be able to afford to operate it.
Huh? Iran is involved in at least four armed conflicts at the moment.

> By rewriting the IP headers of packets as they traverse routing devices.

How does that prevent hosts on that other network from accessing hosts on your "private network"? Like, a packet addressed to one of the hosts on your "private network" arrives at your NAT gateway from the "other network". How does the NAT rewrite the IP headers, and how does that provide access control?

> If you’re trying to say that all NAT devices are stateless firewalls, then your point is even more contrived than I first thought.

Even that would not be contrived. If removing the NAT function does not change the security functions of a router, then the NAT obviously does not provide security, at best it implies the presence of certain security functions. But even that just isn't the case.

> But I didn’t do that, I connected my home router to my ISP, and I connected my laptop to my home router, which is providing access control for me.

Then that presumably is because your home router provides access control? What does that have to do with NAT, though?
Petagres community today announced the release of [Petagres](https://github.com/linn0/petagres) 10.1 alpha version, now available for download [here](https://github.com/linn0/petagres).

Major Features

1. Provide better control over bloat. petagres will prevent bloat by allowing in-place updates in common cases and by reusing space as soon as a transaction that has performed a delete or non-in-place-update has committed. In short, with this new storage, whenever possible, we’ll avoid creating bloat in the first place.

2. Reduce write amplification both by avoiding rewrites of heap pages and by making it possible to do an update that touches indexed columns without updating every index.

3. Reduce the tuple size by shrinking the tuple header.

4. Delete marking in indexes: This will allow inplace updates even when index columns are updated and additionally with this we can avoid the need for a dedicated vacuum process to perform retail deletes.

5. Statement level rollback, a transaction mechanism compatible to oracle and mysql.

6. No vacuum.

7. No freeze, No transaction id wraparound.

For a complete list of features, read full release notes [here](https://linn0.github.io/).
Or say you launched a cyber attack, but really you didn't, then they waste their time looking for non-existent backdoors.
