Yes, agree - detecting extensions that have changed hands into someone who wants to "monetize" it and preventing those updates from getting to users definitely seems like a thing that the browser manufacturers should be doing (even if - and perhaps especially if - it lowers the apparent market value of extensions) and that the onus is on browser manufacturers / extension store operators to do so.
The optimistic and best case scenarios are also scary.

I meant that took global warming itself is not a difficult challenge to solve with the technology currently available. Capturing carbon is energy intensive but not impossible.

But politically, the coordination problem is unsolvable. Until the effects of the warming become big enough that one of the more powerful agents involved has a clearly positive inventive gradient to actually expend that energy at a personal loss, without the cooperation of others. (Say, for instance, if a majority of US territory becomes uninhabitable due to semi-persistent fires, persistent droughts, etc, I'd expect the US to actually solve the problem irrespective of what the other powers are doing.)

"Googling around, I find that the Falcon 9 uses about 25,000 gallons of kerosene in the first stage and 4,600 gallons in the second. The second stage burn is largely above the atmosphere so its contribution to greenhouse warming is negligible, but I'll include it anyway. Since the Falcon Heavy has three first stage cores, its total kerosene capacity would be in the neighborhood of 80,000 gallons."

"Each Falcon Heavy launch then will contribute about 0.017 % additional greenhouse gases to the atmosphere beyond what is already being generated by automobiles in the U.S. on the day of the launch."

It doesn’t really work like that because of the lifecycle of HIV.

If someone is using PrEP and is exposed to HIV, then either the drug works and they avoid infection (in which case there is obviously no impact on drug resistance) or they become HIV+. But in that case, they were either exposed to an already-resistant variant, or they were astonishingly unlucky and the drug failed to prevent infection - in which case, resistance is a moot point.

A person needs to develop an active HIV infection in order to communicate the disease to another. PrEP prevents this from happening in the first place.

There's just a lot of presumptions buried in statements like this that I have trouble getting past. What criteria do we use to establish a need is "real" once we get past life requirements? Do I need a better chair? A better keyboard? A more efficient car? A monthly rail pass? The criteria you and several other comments in this thread use seems to include "if you found out about it through an ad, it's not a real need," which is the original canonical definition of "begging the question."
Noted. Will keep that in mind

Ahh “open rates”. The great lie of the email marketing industry.

Those numbers that Marketo and company show are either completely made up or at least have hidden “scaling algorithms” applied.

All modern email clients block all image and CSS requests by default, and email security filters examine any linked URLs automatically. So there is no reliable “opened but did not click” feedback mechanism at all in modern email.

Set up a seed list of 100 email addresses you control, send through email marketing tool of choice. Open exactly 1 of those emails from a default client. See what lies their “open rate” dashboard gives you.

That's an interesting idea. I, too, would happily contribute to a funding pool to have a competent human analyze the extensions that I'm using. One would expect this to (loosely) allocate money to checking the extensions that are most used, so the ecosystem would benefit even for people who weren't contributing.
They just handle the transaction. The system is technically exploitable from a driver perspective. Earlier this year a group of drivers were arrested for defrauding the company with hundreds of fake orders.
Now Hiring: Senior Embedded Linux Developer with Python -- 100% Remote, Flexible hours

Analytics Fire builds custom software for the solar power industry. We’re looking for a senior embedded developer with deep experience developing, testing, and debugging embedded software in a Linux environment to help us expand our services to support manufacturers in additional new high-tech sectors.

In a nutshell:

> The new study suggests that life's dependence on these 20 [naturally-occurring] amino acids is no accident. The researchers show that the kinds of amino acids used in proteins are more likely to link up together because they react together more efficiently and have few inefficient side reactions.

This is an odd leap.

Protein synthesis is an extremely complex process involving not just enzymes (amino acid chains), but other stuff like DNA, RNA, lipids, energy transduction, and sugars. Highly organized compartments are key - without them nothing remotely resembling life occurs.

The lack of any convincing pathway from random amino acid chains to life is a big limitation here.

For example, it's entirely possible that peptides occurred relatively late in the chemical evolution of self-replicating systems. Only after sufficient machinery had been built up could anything as complex as a well-defined peptide chain be produced.

Along these lines, a different study looking at how chemical microenvironment could have developed abiotically might be of interest: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20505689

On the other hand, if it turned out that certain chemically active amino acid chains tended to form more readily than others in a re-evaporator environment, that could offer an explanation: enzymes (amino acid chain catalysts) form naturally without any other intervention by virtue of the relative reactivity of the growing chain with the next amino acid. Maybe there's even some self-catalysis and/or other selection mechanism at some point. AFAICT, the paper doesn't deal with this possibility, though.
