It is basically in progress by largest forest owner in Poland - state company to be exact.

It is called Carbon Forest Sylviculture (Leśne Gospodarstwo Węglowe). Over all it is more of a marketing scheme with very small impact. We tried to increase sequestration rates with correct sylvicultural regimes.

Currently it is more like a way for companies to sound ecological. IDK if it can be profitable, remember land and everything cost and I think those profit margins would be very small.
They're generally cheaper than the Intel counterpart with similar performance. They're also significantly more power-efficient right now, mostly because they're one process node ahead of Intel.

The single-core performance gets very close to the fastest Intel processors, and you can get a 12 core Ryzen now (and a 16 core later this year) while Intel is at most 8 cores on the mainstream desktop platform.

There are differences in specific applications between Intel and AMD, but you'll have to look for individual benchmarks on this.
Same story on Android. Google Play's in-app billing is for digital goods only. (See the over here: https://developer.android.com/google/play/billing/billing_ov...)

You can use Google Pay (note no "l" in second word) for physical goods, although I think you can collect your own payments if you prefer.
Thanks for the correction, edited.
At least in Australia, the 3700x undercuts it's price competitor (9700k) by a fair margin and has around 40% faster multi-core performance with very comparable single core. For compiling I don't think its even a contest at this point. Even before this generation AMD offered more multi-core performance per $, and much higher end HEDT processors (32core 2990wx).
Yes, it was. More specifically Zookeeper is designed as a piece of infrastructure you put together then rely on.

> Are the recent AMD CPUs generally better for their price than Intel ones, and are there any downsides? My personal context is compiling programs,

Oh boy, are you in for a nice surprise. https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ryzen-37... the Ryzen 7 3700X (323 USD) stands its ground against the i9 9900K (485 USD). The top end is not even funny, there is no consumer Intel CPU that can stand against the Ryzen 9 3900X (499 USD), the LGA 2066 workstation chips that can are double, triple the price. Or, to put it another way: at the same price the 3900X vs 9900k it is 32% faster when compiling the kernel. Passmark https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/AMD-Ryzen-9-3900X-vs-In... shows no less than fifty percent. Right now the 3900X is in such a short supply it sells for 700-ish on eBay. This will resolve in a few months -- there's a 3950X scheduled for September with 16 cores instead of 12 cores, slightly lower base clock (3.8 vs 3.5) but slightly higher turbo clock (4.7 vs 4.6) tightening the screw on Intel. Of course, it'll have a "halo" price at 750 USD but will compete, again, with Intel workstation chips double the price (and much higher TDP as well). Intel is in deep... and they have nothing to counter with, Comet Lake-S is only scheduled for next year, this roadmap was posted just a few weeks ago: https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Gouh8r91rj9vR7FV.jpg and these are just words, there is no guarantee whatsoever they will be able to ship 10nm in mass market quantity ever.

Ps. Intel's workstation (HEDT) strategy is a mess anyways -- https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/Intel-i9-9900K-vs-Intel... they essentially have nothing to offer between 485 USD and 950 USD which of course right now hits them with a vengeance because they can't just take a 700 USD CPU, bring it down in price a bit and make it into a 3900X competitor. The LGA 2066 platform was nothing but a mess ever since launched, watch this video from 2017 highlighting the problems with LGA 2066: https://youtu.be/TWFzWRoVNnE
Disclaimer: I won't be able to find all my sources. I'm sorry for that.

I just looked into this 2 days ago! While I'm not the OP, this submission happens to be one of the most exciting articles I found (I should've submitted it :P). I was asking myself whether I should update my Fitbit Flex 2 to a Fitbit Versa or an Apple Watch or anything else really.

The answer is: don't upgrade, keep the Fitbit Flex 2, it's about as good as journalling your own sleep times and that's all I need really, a very rough estimate. More importantly, the newer wearable devices are not good enough at giving a reliable breakdown of your sleep that polysomnography (the gold standard would give).

With that said: the Basic Health Tracker (doesn't exist anymore, I think), Oura Ring, Philips Actiwatch Spectrum were all able to do things that trackers that the Fitbit and other wearables couldn't.

Specifically:

> Only mean values of sleep efficiency (time asleep/time in bed) from Actiwatch correlated with PSG, yet this correlation was weak. [2]

> Light sleep time differed from PSG (nREM1 + nREM2) for all devices. Measures of Deep sleep time did not differ from PSG (SWS + REM) for Basis. [2]

> From EBE analysis, ŌURA ring had a 96% sensitivity to detect sleep, and agreement of 65%, 51%, and 61%, in detecting "light sleep" (N1), "deep sleep" (N2 + N3), and REM sleep, respectively. [4]

A good literature review on it is [3].

Some facts (which can be found in [3] or its cited papers):

* All trackers overestimate sleep by about 30 minutes.

* The biggest problem for all these wearable trackers are: estimating when you're simply lying awake in bed but you're not moving (it thinks you're asleep).

* Devices like the Fitbit Flex are about as accurate as sleep journalling with regards to total sleep time.

Dreem has the following issues. It's hard to see whether their scientific papers are peer-reviewed. Yes, they produce science articles in PDF formats but not in journals. Yes, they collaborate with universities but it isn't clear how. Nothing is peer reviewed and almost nothing seems to be cited. This was echoed in a Gizmodo article [1], but I figured it out myself first.

I'm not saying they aren't legit, because another thing I have noticed is that the scientific community is a bit but not too keen on testing these devices with the golden standard (polysomnography/PSG). There is still space for a startup who is clearly capable of demonstrating this and other research institutes confirming it independently for their device.

Edit: I hope I gave enough sources to make my comment a bit credible.

Exactly, and tbh this kind of thing pisses me off. The "Kafka people" seem to imagine that what Zookeeper does is dead simple and they can bash together their own in a weekend and it'll be better.

Zookeeper is great. Weird, for sure, and a bit of a pain in the arse. But it will neither lie to you nor lose data and this is much, much harder to achieve than you might think.

I was considering it but the prices on RAM have dropped a bit recently and my DDR3 was leaving a lot to be desired. Pulled the trigger and got 32GB of 3200Mhz of DDR4. I got 6 years out of my prior build, I'm sure my new build will last the same if not longer.

Depends what you're doing with it. Newer memory is usually very expensive when it first comes out, to the point that you can often get better performance by spending the same money on a system with the older memory and higher end other components. It's only really worth waiting if your workload is sufficiently memory bound (and most of them aren't).

And, of course, if you're the sort who values performance over money then you buy a new one now and when the new memory comes out.

Anyone familiar with urban legends will recognize these themes as almost identical to stories passed down through the generations in the USA for roughly 80 years. Pretty cool to learn they aren’t unique to this area.
These points would be much better argued if there were a history of people being able to trust the US government overall. But there isn't. It is prudent to think that the government, in general, will head down the same avenues they have in the recent and not-so-recent past.

There is a history of the government using it disproportionately against minorities and folks that want to change the status quo. There is a history of putting some groups in jail more than others. And so on. This lack of trust and history of power abuses and such things seriously dampens any hopes of responsible use. I'll add that some of their "drug trafficking" is to check to see if folks are selling small bits of weed. Terrorism seems like an obvious farce at this point considering they are keen to ignore terrorism from right-wing folks and instead, look to condemn Muslims and to condemn folks that look like they might be "Muslim" or "Mexican".

The government - at least in the us - needs trust first.
i voted for and still use sass but inside vue/nuxt - i have no desired to write css inside js, why? because I don't have time to relearn the wheel and I choose vue over everything else because I get to write code faster, not just css but html and javascript at the same time. I use the tools that work well for me so I can move prototypes to production faster.

Yes, a new state is unfortunate, however a lot of PHP code uses classes as pure data classes without any constructor & with only public properties, i.e the class functions more like a struct where you assign property values from outside the object instance. Requiring a constructor would remove a perfectly valid code pattern that is in use today.

Huawei Honor 10 Lite – Prix
But the cost of the rent is "arbitary" - if amazon owned the apartment, they could set the rent high, and give you a "discouunt". If they get large enough, they can force the high price to become the norm, and so force you to buy the committed spend. This gives them more leverage elsewhere as well (e.g., suppliers).
> biking (8 g) or walking (0 g) [per mile]

This is simply wrong. It doesn't take into account the CO2 footprint of the person doing the biking or walking. Biking is more efficient than walking per km. Since anyone biking, running, walking would be eating more to cover the exercise this can have a significant footprint based on what their diet looks like. A running beef eater vs a running vegan looks very different.

I used to bike 65km/d round trip to work. Wonderful for my mind and body, but I had to eat at least one extra meal every day for the periods I was active, around 200-300g total.

Normally I would replenish with fried eggs and potatoes at a guesstimated 4x (CO2 equivalent mass ratio), which is (meh) reasonable? Giving around 13g/km footprint for biking (just from my food).

Assuming I would be eating lamb or beef at somewhere around 30x impact, that extra meal would give a biking footprint around 92g/km just from my food!

Correct my numbers or methods if you disagree.

[edit]: Comparison to my (tiny) car at the time burning 4.5l/100km, (2.3kg CO2 / litre petrol), the car would be around 103g/km, which is not much higher than me on a bicycle if I kept a shitty diet !!

> The elevators, for example, will only take residents from the lobby to the Poor Floors and back if there are zero outstanding requests from the Rich Floors; this effectively forces the lower income residents to either walk thirty flights up to reach their units, or else wait forty minutes at rush hour to use the elevators – a pretty thinly veiled analogy to what happens today with commuting inequality.

But here's the kicker: the people on the Rich Floors have to pay more, effectively subsidizing the rent of the people on the Poor Floors.

When desperately want to impress and get impressed. When we are younger our toolset and vision are limited so we try to achieve that through an exploration of non-mainstream tools and techniques. As we gain seniority our goals are getting on a higher and higher level, so we want to unload some of the lower-level stuff to concentrate on the higher-level stuff and the safest and easiest way to do that is to rely on established tools and practices.

I mean, if you want to capture the market of American tourists in France you wouldn't want to spend too much time on whether to use Oracle or MongoDB. Yes, the technical debate is interesting and these new kids do interesting things but you have been through many debates and know the arguments and none of that has to to with your higher level goals.

Indeed, Tesla or Uber have revenues. But their bonds are still lower rated than Argentinian bonds. Can't expect creditors to like you if you're not showing excess cash flow.

Shareholders, on the other side, well. Let's just say that in the 60's or even 80's issuing IPOs was not something a professional investment bank would do. It was considered an undignified exploitation of the naive investor (from "The Intelligent Investor").
The reason JS works everywhere is that mozilla went through the effort to ensure their JS engine compiles and runs everywhere. JS operates on a much high level of abstraction.

You claimed Socrates was killed for Gods that dont exist and that is not the case. None of what happened had anything to do with science or technology.

He was killed for his association with rule of thirty. The single act of not actively participating does not change that.

He was not actively opposed to that rule either in any way or shape. Other (numerous) people were actively opposed and died or were tortured for it. His values partially gave ideological background to rule of thirty.

He did underestimated situation. He was confident and surprised at the result.

You might avoid the winners curse if all contractors meet criteria 1 of your list. It would require all bidding contractors

A) knowing that in this auction, optimal play is bidding actual value

B) All contractors need to be confident all other contractors know this. Because one contractor that doesn't, who underbids, will win the auction but suffer the winners curse.

It should be noted that, in auction theory, even a normal first-price auction should not suffer the winners curse. Because it is still irrational to make a bid that will lead to a loss. As such, maybe auction theory isn't the place to look for a solution to this problem.
For me it's Elixir + Phoenix because it's what I build fastest with. While it's not the very most performant stack in the world, it's built for scaling and can handle far more users than anything I've built with has gotten.

Usually for the MVP, I'll just stick with a traditional back-end MVC app and take advantage of all the Phoenix generators. As it gets a bit bigger, I might bring in Vue components on specific pages.

Once an app is really getting larger, I might bring in TypeScript on the front-end. I pretty much stick with Postgres the whole way unless there's a really compelling reason to do otherwise.

Disclosure: I run https://alchemist.camp, which teaches Elixir and Phoenix, but this screencasting project was the result of how much value I found in using Elixir for my last startup, not the reason I'm a fan of it now.
