Huh? If the carbon saved by not driving cars offsets the carbon generated by those who would otherwise walk or bike but are now using scooters, then aren't we saving on carbon?
I have looked at your comments, they appear to consist of rhetoric rather than quantified data. That is an even poorer form of argument than using anecdotes — Anecdotes are data, just not statistically high quality data.

How much CO2 does an electric scooter emit per passenger kilometre over its lifetime? What journeys are they used for? How much CO2 would be emitted by the same people performing the same journeys by alternate means of transport if the scooters did not exist?

> For example, U.S. hospital prices are 60 percent higher than those in Europe.

That's a rather weird statement.. I suppose it's true in some sense, but what I'm reading online from real people in the US is that they get bills that are easily 10-100x as much money for going to the hospital than I get.

There's a few others I wonder about:

> These programs spurred demand for health care services. That gave providers the ability to raise prices.

At least requires some numbers, because I'm constantly hearing about Americans not going to the doctor because for the real fear it might bankrupt them.

> The healthiest 50 percent only consume 3 percent of the nation's health care costs.

This is also questionable. Again maybe technically true, but not suitable for conclusions.

The ailments, pain and other bad stuff that Americans will walk around with instead of going to the doctor is incredible (again for the real fear it might bankrupt them). In the US I spoke to a real person who was trying DIY dentistry. There was an AskReddit thread about what general advice doctors say people shouldn't do, and the top advice was: don't perform operations on yourself.

I'm pretty sure it's the price driving down demand.

> The U.S. medical profession does a heroic job of saving lives.

Wait, why does it suddenly stop comparing to the EU?

> But it comes at a cost. Medicare spending for patients in the last year of life is six times greater than the average. Care for these patients costs one-fourth of the Medicare budget. In their last six months of life, these patients go to the doctor's office 29 times on average. In their last month of life, half go to the emergency room. One-third wind up in the intensive care unit. One fifth undergo surgery.

And this is different in the EU because ... ?

I don't like these statistics. I think they're using them to lie with.

While the headline is a bit clickbaity, for the retail CPU market, I don't think it's actually that unrepresentative.

Here's reports from Japan of AMD overtaking Intel in retail CPU market share in July for the first time ever. The month-to-month trend is actually pretty impressive even before the Zen2 launch: https://pc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/1197213.html and https://www.bcnretail.com/market/detail/20190703_126041.html

AMD also overtook Intel for the first time ever in Korea: http://dpg.danawa.com/news/view?boardSeq=293&listSeq=3960065...

It looks like AMD is also scoring OEM wins on desktop and server (still weak on laptops where Intel seems like they're putting in a good fight and where AMD's staggered releases about 6-9mo behind).

Absolutely. But I already had the car, and it was later replaced due to old age and not due to distance driven. But the baseline metabolic burn of the 20min car ride should be taken into account, and was, since I was only comparing the extra meal I had to eat vs the extra gas I would have burned.

The total impact of the fossile fuel production chain is something I've been looking for, but not found any good numbers on yet.

Due to scale and efficiency, they simply operate via check list approach.

When I had an ecom company, a line worker used to check the package content and appearance (dents/scratches) and then he would measure it on a scale and check with the package's recorded weight before it was dispatched and algorithm would flag the orders where weight varied more than some specific ratio.

It was pretty rudimentary but worked at scale just fine.

The above claim comes from this article: https://www.theguardian.com/news/2017/dec/05/portugals-radic...

More specifically (quoting relevant paragraph):

--

In truth, there was a lot of ignorance back then. Forty years of authoritarian rule under the regime established by António Salazar in 1933 had suppressed education, weakened institutions and lowered the school-leaving age, in a strategy intended to keep the population docile. The country was closed to the outside world; people missed out on the experimentation and mind-expanding culture of the 1960s. When the regime ended abruptly in a military coup in 1974, Portugal was suddenly opened to new markets and influences. Under the old regime, Coca-Cola was banned and owning a cigarette lighter required a licence. When marijuana and then heroin began flooding in, the country was utterly unprepared.

They are replacing city bikes in cities with city bikes.
The norm in mosques is: Women & Men pray separately. In Islam, men praying in congregation get more reward then praying at home (and are sometimes required to pray at the mosque). For women, it's the other way around (more reward when prayed at home and it's not obligatory). Most mosques have a prayer hall for men & women. Usually less women come anyway because of the reason just explained, which usually means mosques have larger prayer hall for men than women. Some, due to lack of area they can build on, don't have space to build a prayer hall for women and thus just use the maximum capacity for the men because these are obliged to go pray at the mosque at least once a week on Friday. For women it's not obligatory to pray at the mosque.
Very good generic advice

Some species of trees (willows) can be chopped down to the soil and regrow easily from roots. If needed the tree can be moved away some meters using a sucker well placed to rebuild the main trunk. Some trees must be pruned in special ways. Persimmons need an extra large stump in the pruned branches for example (Cut at point B in fig D1 and left the tree alone. It will autoprune). Often will be advisable to wait until winter before doing major tree surgery. Plums and Peaches will prefer having surgery in summer or spring instead.

Also, sales were already skewed towards AMD processors.

He covered the first phase of the art scene. Great. But what about the art scene for FTP sites of 1990s, 2000s and 2010s, and in addition the art scene for .nfo files and the artists who created them.

And it would also be interesting to cover the art scene around cracktros which spawned the demo scene, and to this date still exist in its same form as in the 1980s.
Interesting observation, but author's analysis is a way off IMHO. I use sass not because I'm "unprivileged" or there're some special legacy requirements - I use it because it does the job wonderfully and I don't really need to mix css with js for the type of projects that I do. Speaking of observations, most of devs that I worked with who pushed for CSS-in-JS were really either newbies who like to play with new stuff or the folks who were not that good with css and sass, and then they tend to reinvent the wheel by using very little, very basic css and lots of js to achieve the same effects that can be handled in pure css much more elegantly. Obviously this is purely anecdotal, I totally understand that for complex animations or in big systems where modularity is crucial css-in-js makes a lot of sense. As with any tool, you need to choose the right one for your particular project.

Since "dark matter" seems to be one of HN's trigger phrases, I'm linking a recently linked article and HN thread explaining the rationale behind dark matter, and discussions of the common alternative explanations[0].

For posters who instinctively dismiss Medium articles, there are plenty of harder links therein.

The TL;DR is that scientists are not actually idiots who simply can neither comprehend, nor accept, flaws in their models, and chances are they've considered whatever obvious thing popped into your head as soon as you read the words "dark matter." The universe is not only stranger than we imagine, it's stranger than we can imagine.

Is it really true? Do we belittle those of the Enlightenment period and it's artists and thinkers scientists and composers? I think we make fairer judgements of different periods of history based on fairly objective grounds. A lot of embellishment and imaginative reconstruction of the past no doubt, but not always negative.
Finally some good style of writing
The universe consists of particles and fields, which can be mapped to vertexes and edges on a graph.

The graph isn't fully connected. It isn't close. It shouldn't be a surprise that some particles are only connected to each other via gravity -- several are only connected via two.

What I find interesting is the possibility that dark matter is made up of multiple particles, which interact with each other, but not ours. There might be multiple such groupings. That would neatly explain why most of the universe is dark matter, and we ourselves would be dark matter to someone else.

Slavery was not abolished in the middle ages though. It did become less important relative to serfdom, and in many places in Europe it became illegal to sell Christians as slaves, which meant it was mostly Muslim slaves (and vice-versa in the Muslim states). Since slavery was never abolished it could grow in importance again in the age of colonialism.

ASP does not have operational semantics in that sense, or an order of execution. It's a set of stable models that satisfy the clauses.

Prolog with the SLD-resolution strategy (there are others but that's the presented one - even though it's not mentioned) does indeed induce an order on operations (which goal to prove first) and is therefore also useful for interactive programs. (Because of the order you can schedule side-effects)

In short: while Prolog is declarative, it does have imperative parts. ASP is purely declarative.

This means there is a lot of research in efficiently evaluating/compiling ASP programs while the evaluation strategy of Prolog is fixed with SLD resolution and therefore (in theory) only subject to minor improvements.

Edit:
Also ASP always terminates and is therefore not turing complete. SLD resolution can lead to infinite derivation chains. The Logic program a :- a does not terminate with SLD resolution but does both with Datalog and ASP.

I lived in a totalitarian regime similar to the ones you mentioned (Ceausescu’s Romania back in the ‘80s) and if his bad guys had had access to today’s surveillance tools we would have been really, really stuffed.

As things were you “only” had to watch out for people who would rat you out to Securitate or to Stasi (in East Germany), not an ideal situation but manageable from a certain point on, one could live a decent life from a “freedom” point of view, to say so, you could say political jokes or complain about the regime to the right people, i.e. not the regime’s informers, or you could directly “steal” from the State things you believe should have belonged to you, like the peasants from my grandma’s village were doing when they were taking stuff at night from the State farms that had been built on lands nationalized by the State from the same farmers immediately after the Communists came to power. All these things were highly illegal, I mean the regime trash-talking, the taking of stuff from State farms, the only thing protecting us was that the regime couldn’t follow us all in order to catch us. With today’s tools that would not have been a problem, you can see that in today’s China where every form of political jokes (even in private online conversations) is prohibited and actively acted against.

I redid the check and the result is now "contradictory" and not "blocked". Previously, GreatFire's reported China-1 being able to access HN while the others were blocked, the second test shows China-3 getting through while the others don't. Maybe GreatFire randomizes the numbering of their servers between tests to avoid leaking their location? In any case, the site doesn't appear to be completely blocked yet.

Edit: And now the test results have changed again, showing 5 servers, of which 2 receive a response. The assignment of server numbers is also definitely different from before.
The conclusion is easy, then: you should probably use a balloon (/dirigible) to take down the balloon.
You're trying way too hard to sound smart.

Imagine this. You tell me people can't get to the moon because it's expensive. Then I say the majority of people I talk to have been to the moon.

Is my argument better because it's "data" based versus your rhetoric based argument? No it's not even close. And an argument backed up by data is not somehow more meaningful than all others forms of argument. You can go look to nearly ever mathematical field for proof of that.

Besides that anecdotes are not data. They aren't just not high quality data, they are not data. You cannot just state something you may or may not have truthfully heard and then call it data.

>How much CO2 does an electric scooter emit per passenger kilometre over its lifetime? What journeys are they used for? How much CO2 would be emitted by the same people performing the same journeys by alternate means of transport if the scooters did not exist?

This is an impossibly complex set of questions. But what you're basically saying is the scooters emit less (CO2 is not the only emissions that matters) than whatever transportation would have been used otherwise.

This isn't true. This is literally what the article this thread is about says.
The carbon footprint of a new car:
6 tonnes CO2e: Citroen C1, basic spec
17 tonnes CO2e: Ford Mondeo, medium spec
35 tonnes CO2e: Land Rover Discovery, top of the range

Assuming you drive them for 120,000 miles, that works out as 28.8/79.86/164.4 g/km, which for the first two [1] is less in all cases than their fuel consumption, and for the third that’s still true for all but the most efficient models of that brand.

Secondly you (and the article) are assuming that the car gets scrapped rather than sold secondhand when the owner replaces it.

Thirdly, what are the CO2 costs of maintenance? This is important in particular if you believe the manufacturing is the primary concern, because the replacement parts have to be manufactured.

[1] I just checked Mondeo and am confused why their CO2 emissions vary from 99 to 254 g/km — why does such all broad range of vehicles share the same model name?

Can't tell if the comment is satire. I guess it's best to assume it is and move on, since any discussion based on the assumption that it's not satire has already taken place many times, following predictable paths. Except that I can't keep myself from pointing out the orders of magnitude of difference in effectiveness between a cohesive, trained and organised force and a bunch of individuals, even if they were equally armed, so I don't even get the point of this idea if it's made as a joke.
I've heard something similar said about the US, as a sort of justification for their right to bear arms...the government should apparently fear its people, and its people should be armed and able to overthrow said government. I wish you the best of luck with that, in an age of mass surveillance, armed-to-the-teeth governments and unparallelled propaganda machines.
Depends on the workload. In games, Intel is still the leader (unless you're bottlenecked by the GPU in which case there's no difference). I expect this will change when game companies start optimizing for AMD CPUs, often games run faster when SMT is turned off. See for example: https://youtu.be/yqQ2X1y0jvw?t=892

AMD is better in parallel workloads, like compression and especially Linux kernel compilation which takes advantage of the massive L3 cache.
Please read the article before asking the exact question the article is answering.
What an interesting and well-researched article. Also, the tone is hilarious, as appropriate. Bravo!
Steven Pinker's book Enlightenment Now
It is an estimate but a close enough estimate to counter the claim that the vast majority of emissions are after production of the car.
That might be a consequence of civil disobedience, but it's certainly not the point of it. The point is to expose, condem & ultimately change a wayward government's shitty behaviour.
Though nowhere near the epic event this is, one of the things I enjoy about watching Japanese shrines is when they go around and rebuild stuff. Sometimes they even tear the whole thing down and build it again. The first time I saw it, I was in shock -- Why are they tearing down the shrine? But, no. They built it again. Sometimes they build it differently than before. I'm not sure if this is due to finances or other constraints, or if there is some other reason. The one thing that is constant is the trees. You can almost always spot a shrine in Japan -- you see this weird outcropping of 500 year old trees :-) Especially in the city it's a bit like an oasis of nature -- an anchor to a more stable world. Though I say more stable, really it changes all the time, but looks like it's been like that forever.

I really enjoy these things. I am not a religious person and I have next to no education in various religions. However, these kinds of activities really speak to me. I'm always lost as to how to express that side of my nature in my very secular lifestyle.
Current British electrical standards require RCDs (GFCIs to you) to be fitted to new installations. So the RCD should trip 30 ms after the current starts flowing where it shouldn't. Plenty of installations won't be brought up to spec for decades of ever, however...
