It definitely does, because it produces loads of non-renewables and then exports them for a nice profit. But consuming more renewables than we produce doesn't make a big dent in overall supply needed. As I explain above E.ON's plan there is to rely on the stubborn British consumer to continue to pay more for worse from their competitors. Or not so much "plan" as just what they're resigned to having happen.

The UK needs about 30-40GW of electricity. The import cables can move _maybe_ 5GW flat out if we import in every direction, although of those 2GW is ultimately from France which is nukes, so that's not renewable (it's green, but it isn't renewable) and another 1GW is Ireland, which is as likely to be burning peat (!) as running a wind farm.

About 20GW peak comes from CCGT, ie huge plants that burn natural gas and then use that to spin turbines while also capturing the excess heat to "close" the cycle and improve efficiency. Deeply non-renewable.

On a windy, bright summer's day that's still cool enough for people not to run all their air conditioning and fans, you might get the CCGT down to 5GW with the interconnects importing from most directions and some wood burners (which are technically renewable even though they aren't green at all) helping the wind + solar + nukes.

More likely, right now for example as I write this, the CCGT runs full blast, 20GW of fossil fuel electricity. It's very clean by 1980s standards, only producing water vapour and er... carbon dioxide. Shame the carbon dioxide might destroy our civilisation.
But couldn't it be the case that one of the person's accounts was compromised, they discovered that other accounts used the same password, and so they just hijacked the credentials to create new accounts to be used on the criminal sites? How many people use the same one or two user names and one or two passwords for multiple accounts? I personally know a few.
In many European countries trees from the USA and Canada are imported to be burned for green, renewable energy. Technically it's true, but it's at great cost. Not even taking into account the costs of transportation.

Here's a Dutch documentary on the subject, though some US environmental activists & loggers are interviewed as well at around the 13 minute mark, so that part should be understandable for non-Dutch speaking people: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LHGbiyvZto
The All India Online Vendors Association (AIOVA), which represents more than 3,500 online sellers did file a complaint against Flipkart/Amazon with Competition Commission of India (CCI) however, CCI did not find any violation of existing laws in Amazon or Flipkarts trade practices. IANAL but India does have Anti-Dumping and Pro-Competition laws but probably they are not updated for e-commerce. Amazon and Flipkart are able to find loop holes in it to continue their practices. Which is why Govt. imposed the marketplace cannot sell the products laws.

I feel like if you ask questions where you have to quote your own words like this, you're basically begging them to be interpreted differently than you intend. I'd be crystal clear about what is being asked.
> All electricity generated is fed to this national grid. Coal/Gas/Wind/Hydroelectric it doesn't matter. There are no separate streams from one generator of electricity that you can request from.

I see this comment a lot. But doesn’t everybody know this and who cares? All I care of is where my money goes, not the specific electricity I get. (It might be a scam in other ways though)
An electricity supplier really isn't a supplier, just a middle-man.

Electricity is produced by power stations, which is fed into the grid where customers consume it. The supplier isn't part of that process.

The producer sells the electricity at wholesale rates, which is purchased by the "supplier" company. The supplier company goes on to sell that electricity to their domestic/commercial customers at flattened rates.

Essentially, the supplier acts as an insurer against spikes in the wholesale price of electricity. Personally I'd love to be able to buy electricity without the middle-men because I would have the option to avoid peak times.
So what do you call it if an energy retailer sells X joules of electricity to consumers and buys X joules from renewable energy suppliers? Yes the market is pooled, but if all retailers did this, there would be only renewables being fed in to the pool. That's the point, no?
They did exactly that with SO2:

In the US, the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments established an emissions trading system to reduce
emissions of SO2 from fossil-fuel burning power plants located in the continental 48 states of the
United States. (...) Caps on emissions were implemented by issuing tradable allowances that in total equalled the annual cap level. To comply, sources were required to surrender one allowance for each ton of emissions. (...)

In Ireland we did the same thing with similar effects, but it's far from "almost everyone ignored it". The old incumbents have 47% and 49% [0] share in the gas and electricity markets respectively, after approximately 20 years.

That said, 50% is still a lot of stickiness and consumers do act as if there are large switching costs. The companies act this way, too: they all offer roughly the same price (and same product, of course) in the long term, but give discounts to customers that switch every 1-2 years.

I stopped washing with soap 6 years ago and never looked back.

For the first month, my skin was so greasy all the time that it felt like I'd been wearing the same clothes for a week, just an hour after putting them on, but then my skin finally adjusted to the new normal.

My skin is soft - much too soft for a man of my age, according to my wife. I have no body odor, even after a heavy workout where I'm still covered in sweat. I can (and have) gone for week long hikes and come back not smelling bad. Contrast this to before where an hour after a shower I'd smell terrible if I didn't put on that nasty underarm deodorant (I don't use that stuff anymore, either).

My father was skeptical when I told him, but eventually I won him over and he experienced something similar when he stopped using soap to wash.

Soap is only for things you can't remove any other way (like motor oil), or for when you need antiseptic conditions.

Facebook makes her money from harvesting and selling privacy sensitive data, or at least that is the perception shared by nation states, the EU and the wider audience. For any claim Facebook makes about respecting privacy to have at least face validity she need to show how she is going to make money without violating her users privacy. So how is Facebook going to make money if they need to respect users privacy?

Somewhat more constructive:
Facebook seems to have an unhealthy appetite to collect _all_ user data including privacy sensitive information. But lets be fair: She is definitely not the only company on the quest for the Big Data insights, that seem to always be at least one data point away. Does Facebook have information on which data points they really need to make a commercial viable user profile? What data points are privacy sensitive? Is Facebook looking into alternatives for those privacy sensitive data points? If not: can Facebook enumerate those and ask their users for explicit consent to collect those points and ask for explicit consent in the future for any new data points?

Good luck this afternoon. I hope you get some insights.

Which isn't actually enough, since the surreptitiously installed server will happily go and reinstall the Zoom client for you whenever you load a zoom link, or a malicious link. You have to kill the server, and remove the ~/.zoomus directory as well. This is all pretty damning to be honest.
I disagree that debugging is a superset, it's a different skill. It's possible not to know how to design and implement an algorithm, but know how to dig into somebody else's implementation and vice versa.

But being harder is not even about the skills themselves, it's about mental effort it takes to do something. And designing and implementing things is certainly much much harder, than digging into something already designed and implemented.

somehow thought of as unclean

To be fair: if your hands are dirty like from gardening or working on a bicycle then some of that dirt will stick to the soap and stay there until after a couple of 'clean' uses.
But in my mind that doesn't mean the soap is unclean. After all, the visible dirt is normally a lot less to worry about than the stuff which you don't perceive with your bare eyes. Of which I actually don't know whether it's present on a bar of soap or not - wouldn't be surprised if there are higher levels of bacteria on the surfcae - but whether that actually has a negative effect is something else.
> 1. How can one find out about their shadow profiles that have been created by FB?

I feel like this is a misguided notion. Facebook doesn't need to create "shadow profiles" for anybody to achieve the same effect: they can just pull together the data on-demand (e.g. say when you create an account, they could scan others' contact lists for a match for your name), without aggregating them together into a 'profile' beforehand. Unless you really intend to ignore that possibility (which I doubt, given the effect would be exactly the same), you probably want to approach it differently than talking about 'shadow profiles'.
Nah, you're just a ignorant loser.

>Or are you saying they will literally think B is 'buh'? But then any one of those examples will disabuse them of that idea?

Unfortunately, the fact that English has any number of vowel sounds depending on accent, dialect and even formal register makes it less intuitive to teach consonant sounds based on syllables. Even worse is the fact that consonants themselves may express different sounds in ways that would seem arbitrary to a child (e.g. "Ti" in "tiger" vs "attention").

In contrast, Spanish has a closed set of five vowel sounds, so every consonant can be exhaustively expressed in five digraphs/syllables: Ba, Be, Bi, Bo, Bu – and that's the way children are usually taught. Things can get a bit more complicated when spelling particular sounds (e.g. the hard "G": Ga, Gue, Gui, Go, Gu) but the rules are always followed consistently.
Just to be sure, I don't think that's enough. You might want to kill the running process and remove the binary (as described under "Quick Fix" section in the blog post)

Did my daughter, as the child of two hyper-literate people with doctorates, have some kind of leg up? I doubt it. Some kids pick up reading with minimal guidance as early as 3; she wasn’t one of them, nor had she given indication of any impending breakthrough. Besides, Engelmann’s book is designed for kids of average intelligence and has worked with legions of them over the decades.

In a word, yes, she likely had a leg up. The credit mostly goes to her, not you or the book you used.

As the father of a boy with an extremely strange developmental reading profile (couldn't read a thing at age seven even after much one on one tutoring, to reading at an eighth grade level at nine) I learned a few things talking to many other parents and professionals. The most important is that no one method works for all children, as they each learn to read in their own way. My boy was definitely a "whole word" learner, and phonetics was a complete disaster for him. Other kids are clearly the other way round, and many kids do a combination of both.

Secondly, intelligence has nothing to do with it. Dyslexia is caused by many factors, but general intelligence really isn't one of them.

Well, you don't know how it works but you're sure it's a scam and ridiculous?

I would suggest informing yourself about the basics of energy markets first before making such definitive statements.

Obviously the electrons you get might come from anywhere, but EON is buying energy to feed into the system to match the demand of it's customers. If they buy enough renewable to cover their demand than it's fair to say that they switched their consumers to renewables, even if the specific energy might end up elsewhere.

Here is a good way to think about it: What would it take for every energy supplier to offer 100% renewables? If that is only possible by running the system completely renewable, then the certificates are not lying.

Of course there is a displacement effect: If EON runs 100% renewable, and in return a larger supplier runs 10% renewable instead of 30% and doesn't tell their consumers, nothing is won. But if consumers start demanding or favouring renewables, then this latter supplier will also have an incentive to increase renewables in their system.

The thing that impresses me about this is that this was achieved intentionally, possibly spearheaded by Vuk Karadžić [1] and continued by others [2] - at least that's what they drilled us on in grade school back home. When we had a choice to write down English (or any foreign) words we could write it down in source form or "po Vuku" - "by the Wolf" - where we would write down the sounds in the pronounced word. It was almost like writing in the international phonetic alphabet.

I'm not sure the inria team used the correct optimization for posit addition. You do yourself a disservice by treating a posit like a float and bifurcate the cross (negative/positive) from the negative/negative and positive/positive branches; since posits are twos complements the posit adder should be smaller, not bigger.
I agree... It about the wider approach.

Wilderness is simply a concept that doesn't quite exist in Ireland. We didn't have any of it, and the closest equivalent, forestry, dates to earlier 20th century land reforms.

Effectively forestry is agriculture, not wilderness.. in terms of the ideal. Even agriculture has ecological standards, but preserving hedges for wildlife is not the same as preserving an arboreal ecosystems.

I would absolutely love to see as much forestry land as possible converted (conceptually) to "wilderness." That doesn't mean it can't produce wood pulp or other commercial products. But, it does mean that wood pulp is not the goal. Native species are the goal. Recreation is the goal. ..And the long term future is the goal.

Some of the spruce & pine patches dotted around the country have occasional hardwood "groves." Walking in from the dark & inaccessible pack of spruce into the the magical space created by as few as a dozen matures oaks and chestnuts... you can almost imagine the Ireland of fairy stories and legends. An acre of oak feels like a place, something that should have a name and a story. Those don't happen on short term timescales, but we can and should plant them as a gift to our grandchildren.

We need a paradigm shift. Some of this island should be dedicated to non-agricultural use... and timber mono-cropping doesn't count. It should be accessible to us. I would love for us to adopt Scottish "rambling rights," at least for forestry land). It should probably be not-for-profit, reinvesting any income into improvements and land acquisition.

*Personal: my Grandfather grew up on land that was "agriculturally unproductive." The land was acquired by the state for forestry in the early 50s and the people encouraged to migrate. That's the origin of much/most forestry land. It belongs to the public, morally (and technically, mostly).

We are wealthy enough as a nation that we can afford to use some of our least productive ($-p-acre) land for recreational, ecological and spiritual purposes. Planting an oak grove is spiritual, imo, especially in ireland. Timber plantations are not that.
