Very interesting. I was recently reading Happy by Derren Brown (best known as a terrific illusionist), and he talks about the "experiencing self" and the "remembering self". I wonder if it's possible to combine both approaches.

It’s a pretty awful practice, even worse is moving stubs to “draft space” purgatory where they can’t be found until you, as a single editor, create the entire article yourself without community support.
It's about the absolute right to free speech.

Yup, I had many a bad bill from bbs days just calling the state over. Back in the days also of local dial in numbers for good old ix.netcom.com...
Yeah, I was thinking about that. If through a combination of luck, skill and effort you sell your first startup for tens of millions before you're 30, you probably have a lot more freedom to do whatever you want next. Unfortunately, that's not my story :(

Biomass can be as 'clean' as you want it. The term is applicable to anything from a heap of sticks used to cook a pot of cassave to a combined biogas/gasifier plant which emits nothing but CO₂ and H₂O. Don't get scared by CO₂, it is 'clean' as long as it is part of a cycle.

I can recommend joining the CNCF End User community [1] as it allows exchanging experiences around common problems, e.g. developer experience in a mid/large org, regulatory requirements (there are some banks in the CNCF End User community), etc.

For list of current members, see https://www.cncf.io/people/end-user-community/ (I'm working for Zalando and are co-chair of the CNCF End User Developer Experience SIG).

The CNCF End User community is a vendor-free zone, so you can also discuss and learn about experiences with certain vendors to have better insights before deciding on one ;-)

In the meanwhile you can just load those modules lazily, TeXamcs does the same for some of its functionality, so you can look at the code to see how to do it. Compilation will help this but for the moment the port to Guile 2 in on an early stage and I cannot tell you exactly how long will take. Hopefully less than one year from now. We are all quite busy otherwise. Help is appreciated, especially from scheme programmers.
Are you serious? This sounds like an awful workplace.
I think that will happen when the power companies develop and deploy "smart meters", i.e. make pricing transient, and inform users of predicted and live prices.

Wouldn't putting "everyone in a numbered sequence unknown to them" require a random number, which we don't have?
Abusive and uncivil speech and behaviour do not preserve freedom - of speech or anything else. They are a form of violence; an implication and insinuation of future or potential actual violence. As such they are designed to silence and constrain the actions of others from a position of privilege - the privilege of being the person who can and will commit acts of violence.

There is a flaw in your logic above "I personally don't like the self censorship approach. You must come from a more authoritarian culture" this is a deduction and assertion with no support; the GP may come from anywhere and it is perfectly reasonable for them to come from a very libertarian culture and yet hold opinions that are contrary to your opinion.
> having received attention through influence

To clarify in case this gets read as a greater accusation than I intended:

I have some personal experience potentially similar to the persons involved in the potential conflict of interest in this case: My partner was previously chair of the Wikimedia foundation board.

I was made uncomfortable on a number of occasions by staff whom didn't otherwise know me from Adam being unusually responsive to me compared to other contributors with similar or greater community standing but less luminous connections. ... and this happened even though no one asked for it and though I tried to carefully avoid invoking it.

No explicit corruption is needed to end up with an undue and improper influence, that's just how people work. I addressed it by reducing my involvement.

I can only imagine that now-- with greater distance between WMF staff and the community since many of the old time community originated staff left during Lila's tenure as ED-- that this sort of issue is even worse, since staff members that knew me as a community member didn't act that way as far as I could tell.

I think you’re off by a factor of ten. Sunlight is about 1 kW/m^2, so 1 km^2 (=1e6 m^2) would only be 1000 MW at 100% efficiency, 100-200 MW at 10-20%. That said, the plant looks bigger than 1 km^2 to me.
The author makes.many excellent points but one very big mistake: the assumption of evil intentions on the part of China (and Nazi Germany for that matter). They are not so much concerned with pushing the US into a dependency, but rather mich more with 1) building up key economic sectors and 2) assuring their own independence of US suppliers. That US capacity shrinks at the same time might be a side effect but is not the first priority any other country aims for. Its actually the US which has long and intentionally cultivated dependence of other countries in defense and these others do resent this situation the same way the author sees.it from the US perspective. Just look at the embarrassing Eurohawk project, which takes outdated US drone technology and adds a mild update, but to produce it the consortium first has to buy full drones from US suppliers. Totally ridiculous and immense >bn€ waste of funds, but initiated in a mutual understanding that there is a defense partnership and interreliance between the US and EU partner countries.
One the lines in my comment was "this puts a lot in perspective for me". So it goes without saying that I'm reaching all those conclusions from my perspective. Am I misogynist? Hell no. Am I against equal rights for women? Not at all. But I'm against equal rights that come without equal responsibilities. And over the years in my life I have seen multiple women not being held accountable of their actions, just because of their gender. They get to make false allegations and totally ruin other people's lives and get no punishment even when these allegations are proved totally wrong. This only promotes these kinds of false allegations. And that's why I'm assuming the foundation is hiding the complaint in a shroud of secrecy, because it won't stand any ground in public. And, of course, even if the allegations against Fram are proven to be false, there will be zero consequences for the complainant. Only encouraging more women to file such complaints against other admins until all the well minded people start leaving the project and radical feminists gain control of it and start attempting to change the history.

I'm surprised I didn't know any of that story but the biggest nostalgia hit in the article is not about early subs but about how awesome the 90s were (even if they sucked) before the world became connected. Getting an Internet connection in 96 was like the discovery age all over again.
Assuming you would put them in 10 buckets, that order wouldn't have to be random, as long as people have similar biases.

No, because that ordering can be chosen by someone not in the sequence.

I'm sure someone could do a whole graduate thesis on that question, or any of a million other questions about how Wikipedia works. Wikipedia is evolved, not intelligently designed.

It has a million behaviors that few can explain clearly-- some are historical baggage, others have critical subtle interactions. There are historical reasons for sure-- e.g. relatively early in WP's history there were a number of editors that mass created all sorts of quasi-random articles using automation. But are there good reasons to keep doing it? Dunno. Maybe someone more active than I has a better idea.

If the meta of wikipedia is interesting to you, you might find these notes I made for a talk I wrote in circa 2008 or so which addresses why WP's behavior is often kind of inexplicable to humans and why that isn't a problem or at least why it's not avoidable: https://people.xiph.org/~greg/zen.wp.txt
I'm not sure when you tried, but I'm using it since 2006 and although there are bugs we are steadily improving it and personally I (and many others) use it everyday and do not experience any serious issue, especially in the last versions. Please realize that TeXmacs is a complex piece of software (is typesetting engine + macro language + UI interface together) so is more difficult to maintain than each piece separately.
I think it's safe to say that 99.999% of people do not share your bizarre youtube-watching setup. I think it's also safe to say that the 60s-ish master craftsman featured is never even going to attempt to cut down his demonstrative, highly visual content to fit in an inferior, limited blog post.

I don't even know what your point is. How about you try not watching videos through a VM with no sound.
If the foundation would release the complaint, we wouldn't have to go digging into Fram's history to find the source of this conflict. So don't put this on me. Yes, these allegations could be wrong, but this is as close as we can get to the facts without the foundation releasing the original complaint.

Also, what is your take on this? Why do you think the foundation, that usually only steps in when someone is posting something highly illegal like child porn etc., bypassed the orb committee this time? Why is the complaint being shrouded in secrecy?

There's definitely something funny going on, and this is the only line of reasoning that makes sense to me. But I'm open to other ideas.
Buy a solar water heater. I live in a climate that varies between -20 and 35 degrees, and this solar water heater has worked consistently for 10 years over these temperature ranges. It is, essentially, some glass pipes attached to a tank at the top with a 260 litre capacity, capacities vary, all neighbours have them, and a meter to press a button to auto- fill up when needed. This will be a huge cut in your electricity bill. For cost and context, including installation, mine cost about $200.

And, well, for tips, a washing line. There is no need to tumble-dry anything, a piece of rope, some pegs, and wind and relative humidity do a pretty good job themselves.

And I'm pretty sure you're overestimating it. The only people I ever hear expressing a desire to quit are inside this tiny tech circle.
Makes sense. I've never lived in a very humid area myself. Just normal continental hot summers.
I'd estimate a driving range with the electricity consumption of an average 4-person household (4000 kWh/year in Germany) of at least 20k km (@ 20 kWh/100 km). So that would roughly double the household use.

Add another 4000 kwh for heating around 50-150 m² (90-25 kWh/m² per year for a modern home in Germany).

In Germany you can use about 1.000 kWh/kWp per year from the sun, so one would need to install 60 m² of panels @ 20% efficiency for that.

The main problem is storage for the winter - or where am I wrong?

What's going on is that the complainant xirself is indirectly letting us know that xir complaint didn't have any ground to stand on. Xey went straight to the Foundation precisely as a ploy to bypass the community's well-established due process, knowing full well that any bureaucracy of that sort would naturally "hid[e] the complaint in a shroud of secrecy"! It's not so much about xem being a woman - though that certainly can't hurt xem, I guess - and more about the political games that xey're overty playing. Quite disgraceful, all around.

Added: I'm not sure that we can know why the Foundation chose to act on this basis. It could have been personal in the way you imply, but this was a controversial editor who had strongly opposed Foundation initiatives before (Media view, Visual Editor, "next-gen" discussion platform to replace wiki-like talk pages, etc.) So I'd rather not speculate - the Foundation didn't need anything more than a flimsy pretext, and a formal complaint could certainly serve that purpose.
Why don't they just stop using tax deductions, tax planning and tax havens? It would bring even more tax revenues than a few percent wealth taxes yearly and they could do this today without any political lobbying. Moreso if they are more worried about climate than they are about their wealth, they could invest in far fetching new technologies that have slim chances of returning a profit, if they don't care about returning a profit they could be way more aggressive in investing new technologies and services that might not otherwise be profitable enough for regular investors. They could even give subsidies to companies that operate at a minor loss like investors have done with Twitter or Facebook before they became profitable.

Even more importantly there are activist investors that invest in companies and try to change their behavior. Why don't they start investing in companies and demand that they stop tax planning? Is this just a publicity stunt, or are they powerless to do any of these things already?

If you’re interested in this article / Kubrick, I highly recommend you watch the documentary Filmworker[0], which is a beautiful portrait of Leon Vitali [1], Stanley’s long term assistant quoted in this article.

He was cast in Barry Lyndon in 1974 and, after experiencing Kubrick’s genius and work ethic up close, gave up a promising acting career to devote his life to helping him achieve his vision— at great personal sacrifice. It’s moving, and helps explain the true cost of artistic excellence.

The word "wiretap" has a specific meaning, though. It does not mean location data. It means content. Nobody uses the word "wiretap" to mean location data.
No. proteins are denatured by cooking and the digestive process, before being broken into constituent amino acids. It is both extremely unlikely that applying pressure would create either novelly denatured proteins or that said proteins, if formed, would be harmful.

The scenario isn't strictly impossible, but something reminiscent of an fda phase 1 study to ascertain safety of every food item to undergo the procedure is an insane standard[1]. Also a standard massively above and beyond anything our current food supply has ever had in place.

[1] Read: costs of study far outweigh benefits weighted by likelihood and severity of issue.
It’s extremely common—I visited an HPP facility and all kinds of food from deli meat to fresh juice were being processed. The same can be said for heat treating (i.e. cooking).

That said, I agree that food processing isn’t completely charted territory.
Our coal industry in Australia has the government in their pocket. Despite coal power globally in the decline, the government has agreed to open and subsidise new coal plants.

Yeah I still use fansubs for everything. Unless you're only into shounen you kinda have to go to fansubs for any current shows. Some of the top groups really do a nice job as well, and the translations often feel much less bland than the commercial ones.
"fairly obnoxious" itself is a characterisation, if they had meant "toxic" they would have said that. And "almost always right about the underlying merits in a dispute" is not just "productive", unless that means more than raw output, but something like "constructive", which also doesn't seem very compatible with "toxic". A toxic person may be mean or or super friendly, but both as a means to lead away from the underlying merits in a dispute, prolonging rather than resolving it. Otherwise, what meaning does that word even have?
Thanks for the great response.

LaTeX is a typesetting system, so usually you use it together with an editor and a viewer. TeXmacs is one program which does it all in such a way that you can edit the typeset document directly and that what you see on the screen is exactly what will be on the final PDF. These features make it unique. Typesetting quality is comparable to TeX in the sense that you can well mistake a TeXmacs document with a LaTeX one. TeXmacs has an integrated picture editor and a presentation mode, and you can have interactive sessions in your document e.g. with software like R, Python, Scheme, Axiom, Reduce, etc... Actually you can even run code inside TeXmacs to produce images with libraries like TikZ/FeynMF/DraTeX/Asymptote/Graphviz whose functionalities have no equivalent (yet) in TeXmacs.
