I claim that carbon tax is closer to pareto optimal then no carbon tax, since without a carbon tax the externalities are not accounted for.

Sure there would be losers, but there would also be winners. You claimed "reduce living standards for a generation with several percentages", I claim there would be a balance between losers & winners and the economic impact would be minimal.

The dividend goes a long way to ensuring that the losers are concentrated among the rich and the average poor person benefits.
Why InfoSec fits in the save time philosophy?
Yes, it's open source and the possibility is there, but it's not likely. There isn't any Florence instance yet. The other masto forks are all relatively close to mainline and aren't drastically different.

Dansup has said he doesn't want to support other AP types. It's not about who writes the patch. He wants pixelfed to be an image sharing service, akin to Instagram.
I'll second that, I believe people use them for RC chargers sometimes. I used the HP DPS 600PB for trying to drive a number of peltiers. I think mine only did less than 50A, will look into the model you mentioned.

I assume none of the blade PSUs also output 5VDC?

I think the Result type is quite easy to understand, and it's central to Rust error handling strategy.

The main difficulty is we also have to understand the purpose of the dyn keyword and why the Error must be boxed.

Anyone writing serious Rust will have to learn this sooner or later, but maybe this is a lot to learn "upfront" :-)
For a private entity on its own, you are completely correct. When that private entity starts working with the government to provide an official government service, then to the extent they are providing that official government service, they are no longer just a private company on its own.

We don't have that kind of time. James Anderson, a leading atmospheric scientist who is famous for his research on ozone depletion by CFCs, says we have as little as five years: https://www.sciencetimes.com/articles/23104/20190703/only-5-...
Just do NOT stick the probes into your fingers, ie, don't break your skin. Depending on the multimeter this can be extremely dangerous.

Does this work for any table without any modification or just the beer table? Also documentation is bit weird. Eg API section starts with some require a then there are two CLI commands (generateSkeleton, getSqliteRouter). Does it mean I can generate skeleton without using CLI?

There's games that only work handheld (because of the touchscreen), though. Removing the ability to dock (without removing the ability to connect more controllers) doesn't split the library the same way removing the non-docked mode would.
I might be in the minority here, but I thought Mythbusters was a much more compelling show before it turned into outright destruction porn.

I pretty much lost interest after the episode where they blew up the concrete truck. I don't know much about mining or blasting[0], but I think even the most basic honest attempt to answer the question of "can you remove cured concrete from the drum of a concrete truck using explosives?" would have involved drilling some holes, filling them with explosives, and using the explosives to shatter the concrete. You know, the way miners use explosives to shatter rock.

For those of you who haven't watched that episode, they throw a stick of dynamite into the drum, observe that nothing happens, pack the remaining space in the drum full of ANFO, and then basically obliterate the truck. Adam picks up a fragment of the truck and delivers his catchphrase "Well there's your problem".[1]

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for myths involving guns and explosives; those aren't things the general public has a lot of experience with[2]. But let's not sensationalize them, let's look at what they actually do, under realistic (if unusual) circumstances.

[0] I've toured a couple deactivated mines and read a couple of books. In every case, the basic process of "drill holes, fill with explosives, removed broken up material" was covered. I'm not an expert, but I find it hard to believe they couldn't have found one for the purposes of science.

[1] Haven't seen it in a while, don't care to re-watch it. There might be some bits missing, but that's basically how it goes.

[2] In the case of firearms especially, I firmly believe if more people had an understanding of how they work and their effects, even in extraordinary cases, we might be able to have a semi-intelligent conversation about them.
In PCI, BAR is Base Address Register, which is a register in the PCI device's configuration space which defines where in the machine's physical memory address space that particular window of memory and/or I/O will be mapped (a single device can have several BARs, for instance a simple graphics card could have one for its control registers and one for the framebuffer). So the "BAR space" would be a shorthand for "the region of the physical memory address space which can be used to map the PCI devices memory through their Base Address Registers". The size of this region is limited, and graphics cards in particular tend to have somewhat large BARs.

(See for yourself in your machine: run "lspci -v", the lines starting with "Memory at ..." or "I/O ports at ..." are the BARs.)
Search "PCIe bar space" and you should be fine
Yes. Oil and gas and coal proven reserves of burned would produce about 4.5 trillion tons of CO2. About half of that would remain in the atmosphere. There’s currently about 2 trillion tons of CO2 in the atmosphere today at 400ppm. So in proven reserves alone, we have enough to more than double the current CO2 levels, or triple/quadruple them from pre-industrial levels (when they were ~280ppm).

...but the real kicker is that proven reserves are just a small fraction of total likely recoverable reserves long-term. Proven reserves basically assumes no tech improvement and no exploration, two things we’re continually doing. So proven reserves have actual GROWN over time and likely will. There are truly vast amounts of fossil fuels available that could be tapped if we had to tap them.

For instance, there’s over a trillion barrels of kerogen/oilshale oil (which is expensive to extract, like Canada’s oil sands) in JUST the Green River formation in Colorado/Wyoming, more than all the world’s proven oil reserves combined. But it sits untapped because oil prices are so low. And practically all of northern Alaska has coal underneath it if you drill to the right depth, 5 trillion tons (~18 trillion tons of CO2), more than four times all the world’s coal proven reserves combined. Source: https://pubs.usgs.gov/dds/dds-077/

America alone has enough fossil fuels in the ground to single-handedly double or triple or sextuple the CO2 level. Add in similar fossil fuel amounts in much of Africa, South America, Russia, Canada, Antarctica, Australia, and the world’s oceans, and the planet would be unrecognizable.

There’s enough fossil fuels (if we tried hard enough) to get the CO2 levels in the 10,000 ppm range where there are serious long term health effects from just breathing the stuff. And psychological effects start becoming apparent at just 500-1000ppm, which we will see by the end of the century or so.

So yeah, we’ll run out of atmosphere to dump the CO2 into before we run out of fossil fuels.
It's a great thought. Just to make it more fun, let's fit the cars with tanks of inflammable liquid and then drive them really fast, like say 60mph, along the same roads in opposite directions at the same time!

What could possibly go wrong?
So I managed to dig up just one game that looks promising. It's this game called screeps [1]. You program your own fleet of "creeps" using Javascript (or other languages compiled to WASM). There's a fair amount of depth to the game and there is a marketplace and alliances exist.

I'm not a fan of the whole CPU model or the pathfinding model either. Those two are a little too complex for my liking, but there's no doubt that this game is mostly everything one could want in a programmable game.

Overall, I still feel like this market is underserved. But I'm probably going to give screeps a try myself and see what I can learn from it :).

Fun. If you want PCIe on a SBC without the soldering, I highly recommend perusing Hackerboards. I'm very happy with my RockPi 4 (4GB RAM, PCIe, USB 3, 6 cores), which I discovered through their excellent database.

I can't be hit by a wave of nostalgia, for I was not born for 20 years, but it seems like in the 60s, more attention was paid to culture and art. I don't think art would be considered as part of any modern scientific project.. then again, I don't know.
That max-q work hit me in just the right spot, I'd love that on my wall (and a wall worthy of it).

Roads before the car were mostly dirt. Humans can walk just fine on them. If they were paved it was probably cobblestones where are again fine for walkers but too rough for cars.

It isn't clear if bicycles or cars drove paved roads in the early days though: both need smooth surfaces to be useful. Bicycles started it first, but it isn't clear how much success they had.

The army's needs of roads came last. The Civil War was fought around railroads (and boats) for long distance travel, and horses for the rest. Only after WWII did the army really realize the advantages of cars and switch to that mode in their plans.
Yeah as an enterprise web developer, I definitely have met my share of frustrating requirements to support ancient versions of IE. But that's definitely an interesting choice that I don't think I fault Microsoft for making - if you own the platform, why not extend your control into other popular apps running on the platform (word processors, databases, browsers, etc.). Pretty logical step to make imo, though their underhanded tactics were probably also to blame for the US Supreme Court monopoly case.
Vanguard ‘green’ fund invests in oil and gas-related stocks
Harari keeps repeating "this is just an hypothesis" or "we can't be sure of what happened at that time" during the whole book. He highlights multiple hypothesis as well in all chapters, to compare them.

Actually the blog post literally shows that, by repeating "We’re not sure".

I can imagine many critics to the book, but presenting speculations as fact is definitely not one of them.
There's a very strong health consideration that you're overlooking. You don't want random pollutants to be a part of your food intake, and roaches are not picky at all so they are guaranteed to be feeding on (and contain) various contaminations.

This is good for the primary role of roaches, to be the cleanup crew for all sorts of organic matter in nature and helping in the breakdown cycle. But if you were inclined to use them as food, you'd have to maintain a much more controlled (farmed) environment.

By way of comparison, the wild snails you migh eat in France are first fed with a diet of clean lettuce for a week to help purge them of whatever they were munching on in the wild. And they only eat plants to begin with…
> However, I don't really like pinboard's "business" story - it seems, selfish, for lack of a better word.

How is it different than any other small business started to serve a community? Businesses close all the time for all kinds of reasons. If your favorite restaurant were to close because the owner and cook developed a serious illness, would you be upset at the selfishness of that person?
B12 is the one I know a number of vegetarians have trouble getting from plant based sources. I've had trouble with it ages ago, and a friend of mine has been told by his doctor that he has to eat meat because of this.

The solution is really simple, though: eat less meat. We don't need meat every day. Once or twice a week is more than enough, and if everybody did that, it would greatly reduce this problem.

It's really hard to build nuclear reactors and train operators fast enough to prevent catastrophe. Renewables are much easier to build and provide immediate benefits. It doesn't take ten years to put up some wind turbines.
It's a valid question.

> I'm thinking, 10X the application might reduce the useful lifetime by months out of decades

Possibly, sure. And possibly not. Maybe 1% extra use reduces the drug's working life by 100 times. Without data either claim could be true.
Oh yeah, poor endangered drivers. Why does nobody think about them?

Injury =/= death. If you swerve off the road, you have airbags. If a car behind you hits you, again, you have airbags. You have tons of metal shielding you from a collision, insurance that is supposed to take care of the situations that can't be blamed on you, and airbags and seat belts that are supposed to reduce the consequences of a collision.

Pedestrians have none of that. Where I come from, this (alongside first-aid skills) is the very first thing you learn on your way of getting a driver's license, before road signs and traffic rules are even mentioned.
Thank you for your reply, that was exactly what I was trying to show when I linked the Actix Web example in one of the child comments below!
> I wonder why we cannot come up with a web standard interface in a way the captchas could be offloaded to customizable and adaptable GUIS rendered by the browsing client.

Interesting! Though I find that behaves rather strangely – seems to clear itself on every launch.
>Fun fact: Two different primary keys can have the same subkey. Anyone could even bind any of your subkeys to their primary key! They only need to sign the public key! Though, of course, they couldn’t actually use your key since they’d lack the secret key. It would just be really confusing, and could, perhaps in certain situations, even cause some OpenPGP clients to malfunction.

Can't wait for the next time someone clogs up the SKS system and tells us that GPG is terrible and the PGP ecosystem is essentially in a state of eternal trashfire, only to be told by the GPG wizards that everything is fine and working as intended, it will be fixed anyway by that one guy that volunteered on the mailing list to do it, they assure us.

Man, where would we be without the people that defend GPG? Possibly in a world with easy-to-use mail cryptography solutions but who wants that?

Otherwise this was a very interesting blogpost, I should probably upgrade my GPG keys at some point, considering they primar keys have been floating unencrypted into various public spaces.
There are things in the world that matter more than economic efficiency and if you want to argue that limiting carbon emissions will have a positive impact on some of those things, go ahead. I'm on board.

But I see this article, and your post, as people promising free lunches. And when people start offering free lunches, I get real skeptical. I am also skeptical of the ability of committees of experts to make decisions about economic efficiency. To me, this article has a disingenuous ring to it. It reads like people who've made up their mind and are inventing arguments to support their decision.

If there's so much money in "green living" then all of the people on the committee should quit their jobs and go into business. They can improve the world and make money at the same time instead of telling other people how to spend their money.
Always and everywhere, surveillance is ultimately about extortion.

Your phone's nav track is remarkably cheap to obtain from a variety of sources. So is your spouse's, and your siblings', children's, parents', business partners', lawyer's, boss's, boss's family. Dirt on any of them can be used against you. Sometimes, dirt on a judge the judge's family serves as well.

Whenever you see an incomprehensible public action, such as a Senator suddenly resigning, or a billionaire let off from a child-molestation charge, know that behind-the-scenes activity, likely involving extortion, likely based on dragnet surveillance, is involved.

Prosecutors use it to get guilty pleas to charges they could not get a conviction on. Cops and spooks use it to recruit a network of informants.

The only protection any of us have is actual privacy, for ourselves and everyone around us, which requires shutting down pervasive surveillance systems.

Microsoft is very far from alone in employing this sort of dirty trick. They differ mainly in how open they are about it. Evidently they don't feel much risk of it biting them back.

Different organizations differ in how much they use dirty tricks. It depends overwhelmingly on what the top dog at each thinks of it. People will always blame an overambitious underling, but underlings can't do it without at least tacit approval from above.
> perhaps only the DNA-based life survived some early period in Earth's history.

There is a theory that early life was RNA based. The mechanims are simpler, and it's easier to create "spontaneously appearing" RNA "life".

But as soon as this RNA life evolved and produced DNA based encoding system, the DNA based life evolved to wiped them out. Right now earth is full of RNAses, which are proteins that destroy RNA, made by DNA based life.

Evolution works in non-intuitive (mysterious) ways.
There are different ways to freelance. I'm following the coward's way: recruiters ask me for big long-term projects, and I work as freelancer on those projects. Just one project at a time, little time and effort wasted on acquisition, and I still get more money and freedom than a regular employee.
But that doesn't explain why DNA/RNA is the only. If DNA got a large boost I'll believe it is dominate, but why isn't there anything else somewhere still struggling along.

What do you mean by "full control"? The average driver does not have the experience nor the training to maintain full control at all times.

For example, consider a situation where the driver has to correct understeer, or lift-off oversteer, both relatively easy to achieve in cold, wet conditions.

As one small data point:

I've been running this experiment (another comment). While bots continuously hammer on port 22 (ssh), and repeatedly try to get things like /wp-* (I don't even run PHP), they don't bother fetching robots.txt in the first place, and my honeypot hasn't a single hit.

Definitely do not try to "secure" your site this way, but bots are either not sophisticated enough to analyze the .txt, or it might already be a known technique. Seems many other commenters come up with the same idea.

Carbon tax is pure economic foolishness. Imagine there's one pipe with smoke coming out of it, and imagine there's another pipe with a lever. If you pull the lever, bags of money will come pouring out of the pipe. That's the carbon tax. The thinking is that the pipe with the smoke will stop belching, but it won't. There's no direct connection between the pipes. We HOPE drivers will drive less if the carbon tax hits their pocket book, but there is no guarantee. It's like changing the interest rate and hoping the economy will improve.
Not for an individual fare, but an employer can offer monthly/annual passes on a pre-tax basis (up to $265/mo for 2019)

Headline is misleading because the conclusion is premature. There are other obvious reasons why the roach population may not be decreasing, other than adapting to pesticides:

1. Incomplete treatment -- apartment buildings are large and exterminators likely can't access all interior spaces, providing ample breeding ground.

2. Reinfestation from outside sources -- roaches live in all kinds of tight spaces (e.g. corrugated cardboard boxes), and the number of people in an apartment virtually guarantees cross-contamination.

3. Inadequate amount of pesticides applied.

I'm hesitant to jump to the conclusion that neurotoxins are failing without removing other, much more likely factors.
Browsh author here. I feel so guilty about not having merged that branch :( It's been there 8 months or so. It's by far the most requested feature. I'm just so overwhelmed with other things to do. I'd love Browsh to be my main focus, but I've got to earn money. There's so many more things I want to do with Browsh.

So basically I just wanted to say sorry to the people that have submitted code and not had it merged and sorry to the people that really want this feature, like a handful of blind users that keep emailing me about full keyboard support. I haven't forgotten about Brwowsh, I've just got to earn some money first.
