Surely we need all of the above, we need to encourage public transport and EVs. Vegetarianism and lab meat. Carbon capture and carbon reduction.

People are different, your idea of the best tradeoff and how to spend your carbon budget is likely to be different to mine, neither budget is more right or wrong so why not allow both.
The SuperH-3, part 10: Control transfer
Lem had a seemingly inexhaustible imagination, and this was one of his most fascinating books. If you like his more serious sci-fi books it's definitely worth a read. He always seems like he was operating on an entirely different plane than the science fiction writers of the USA, and even today his books feel fresh and insightful. Truly one of the greats.
I recently heard a segment on the radio which discussed suicide, and it ended with the host giving the common "If you are in crisis, then resources are available..." statement.

The contact details were a 10-digit phone number which wasn't easy to remember, or to text a 5-digit number to a different 5-digit number. The specifics went in one ear and out the other. I was driving at the time, but I would have struggled to remember them long enough to find a pen if I was at home!

If instead, it was to call or text 988, then that would have been much more memorable! I hope this saves lives!
That seems like a pretext. It’s hard to understand why China would be motivated oppress the almost entirely Chinese population of Hong Kong because the British were jerks a hundred years ago.

I wouldn't read too much about it. Especially in China where celebrities get into big trouble for voicing the wrong opinion. They probably posted it because their publishers and managers told them to do so to win some favors with the government.

>If X were an impoverished country like Somalia, the tune would change and most people would condemn such a society

I've actually found that the larger a country is the more criticized it is on human rights violations. If a small country was genociding its own people or anything that X was doing, then the media would simply ignore it as it isn't a large enough story to talk about.

All the examples you give of X are taking place right now across the world in most developing nations yet the focus is placed on the largest ones.
With you until the last point. When newly planted forests mature, a lost tree is not generally replaced. Trees around the 'gap' grow into the gap and take the sunlight, getting larger in the process.

In this way a stand of small trees becomes a much-less-dense stand of very large mature trees.

Don't know how it affects the analysis - is a mature forest more carbon-dense than a newly-planted one?

It's clear that a promoted item can be paid for.

I gun the shit out of my Tesla at a green light, but look far ahead and slowly ease to a stop using regen braking only. Regen braking and one pedal driving is a nice incentive to not waste energy with brakes, and as EV's become more popular, I bet driving habits will become more efficient generally across the board.
>If you could move an entire country from being car dependent to being largely car free, by pushing rapid urbanisation and transit

While these are the “right” solutions, they occur over decades. Planning for any rail line, then constructing, takes over a decade. Even in the environmentalist San Francisco Bay Area. Even bus lines. Try a google of “Van Ness BRT” to get a sense for how slow infrastructure projects work.

The singularity isn’t happening because the concept of exponential technological growth is, as a general matter, wrong. In any given area, technology improves rapidly, then plateaus. (From 1903-1969, we went from the Wright Flyer to a moon landing. In a similar period after that, our technological capability in that area has barely advanced.) It’s not like there is incredible technology that’s just sitting around waiting for regulatory approval.

No, there is an important distinction between independence and autonomy. A majority of the protesters support "one country, two system", they just want the two systems to be preserved.

You can deny it all you like, but it’s true [1] and you’re just illustrating the point: nobody wants to do the things that actually matter, because those things are painful (not incidentally, #2 is “sell your car”).

It’s far easier to mock the people who tell you the truth than it is to make substantial changes.

What isn't clear is if you have a device like a laptop, phone, or tablet, and it _is_ updated post-late-2018... will that protect you from the vulnerability even if you're using an older Bluetooth device (e.g. keyboard, headset, etc.) that isn't going to ever get an update?

[Edit] Found some relevant information from the Bluetooth.com security notice[1]

> For an attack to be successful, an attacking device would need to be within wireless range of two vulnerable Bluetooth devices that were establishing a BR/EDR connection. If one of the devices did not have the vulnerability, then the attack would not be successful.

I think someone is trying to cover their ass. Think about how this story could have been written: the WSJ reaches out to current and former employees and writes what they say.

Yes. Plus we're talking an entire society all changing everything they do all at once. Think about how that's going to be achieved when even a single individual can't change their life all at once.

Think about how long has it taken to get people to stop smoking. True, even now new young people continue to start up smoking. But overall, it is a massive improvement over the situation as it was 50 years ago. One person at a time, but coordinated from the top. This I think is how climate change will be solved. Very slowly, and it will never be completely eradicated.

BBC and Al-Jazeera are alleged to have used footage from inside POK and claiming it as from Srinagar. Also clips from within Kashmir valley have no evidence of protest against the revoked bills, rather a generic call for "Azadi"(Freedom). It is not clear if the protest is representation of ground reality.[Reference sadly only in Hindi, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kV5w1BQCzi0]

Also the other protest accepted by India could be a different one altogether, hence pictured differently and was possibly an actual one which happened days after BBC released their video.

Lockdown in a terrorist, separatist and rebel location is a security measure more than a curbing of Freedom of speech. The region has been constitutionally provided for a democratic government, despite the split. This piece of information somehow passes through the crevices of fractured media into oblivion. China and Pakistan's stance is understandable since it is also a measure to tackle the Roadway China has been building through Pakistan to reach the ports and open up its trade routes. All of this with a funding of terrorism and extremism.
I disagree and say that when human rights are removed, it doesn't matter what the context is.

1. Terrorists deserve the same human rights as normal people.

2. The removal of liberties is extended upon all citizens making this province an open air jail.

The fact that the situation in Kashmir changed so rapidly as well doesn't bode well for the reasoning behind this crackdown as well.

Yes why not? If you already decided your site is content-oriented by choosing server-side templating, then interactivity will be limited in scope and easily implemented using either vanilla js or jquery, or even basic HTML forms, links, and CSS menu tricks without js at all. In my experience, while I personally like React when it fits, I've seen too many projects that don't benefit from a MVw approach where React or Vue or another MVw framework seems like a decision by developers to pad their resume, or even by managers to win developers by giving them, like babies, something to play with and show off to their peer group when in reality the app is just a basic LOB application, like the old legacy app it replaces.

Clickbait article
Cellphone locating for 911 is a whole mess and sometimes doesn't work anywhere near as well as you'd like it to and requires the police to drive around block sized areas trying to find whoever needs help.

Add in the complexity of transferring calls (how many times has your call been dropped when a support agent transfers you?) and this is a bucket of trouble.

I think you've misunderstood both them and the geography of South China. They're clearly referring to the Cantonese speaking region, which is called Guangdong (which the British never owned), of which HK is a very small part (perhaps 1/30th of the size). It sounds like you think they were just talking about HK or that the British owned GUangdong. And even more confusingly attributing HK's linguistic distinctiveness to its historical separation by the British?

That's exactly what I want to do with this site, actually.

I don't want to do a "standard" review site, though... I want to help people answer the question "which no-code tool should I use for my specific task?" in the most efficient way I can.

Ben from Makerpad has the "how to build things" side covered, and I want to focus on the "which software should I choose" step that comes right before building.

I think showing real world examples and some type of standardized assessments (by category) might be the first steps, but I'm not sure how it will look yet... still figuring it out.
> Even a small amount of the seaweed in a cow’s diet was shown to reduce the animal’s gases by 99%.

So if the cow eats seaweed it will also reduce any other gases produced by said cow ? does this apply worldwide or to cows in a specific area ? How about other animals that produce methane, is this applicable to them too ?

> When added to cow feed at less than 2% of the dry matter, this particular seaweed completely knocks out methane production. It contains chemicals that educe the microbes in the cows’ stomachs that cause them to burp when they eat grass

Is reducing these microbes healthy for the cow ? Won't it lead to shortening life span of a cow and therefore leading to requiring more cows ?

> if Australia could grow enough of the seaweed for every cow in the nation, the country could cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 10%.

Does this mean methane gas from cows represent 10.1% of greenhouse gas emissions of the country ? (i.e. reduced by 99% from 10.1% to 0.1% ?)
How does the seaweed get to the cows ? Wouldn't this mean more dependency on trucks to bring the seaweed to the cows ?

And the million dollar question - how many % of the world's methane gas production does Australia represent ?
It should be noted that there are almost certainly agent provocateurs embedded within the protestors. It would be unlikely that the CCP wouldn't take this step given their other overt displays of force and seeming giddiness to make an example of the protestors that they wouldn't take the extra step to make the protestors look as bad as possible.

Well, not sure if this is related to the actual topic (meditation), but I would agree with this.

For the last one month, I have been sticking to intermittent fasting (16:8) and giving up on sugar entirely and redcuded carb intake to very small amounts.

Can say that the diet is almost keto although I think I do go over the 30gm of prescribed carbs. However I do notably experience the metallic taste in mouth regularly indicating ketosis.

I have noticed...

- Drop in anxiety

- Improved self confidence

- Goes without saying, lost about 5/6 kg weight

To me it seems like this is a permanent lifestyle change which I look forward to continue with.

No mention of anything remotely close
Adversarial systems are where two advocates represent each side and attempt to convince an impartial third party (a jury, a judge) of their case. The court is an impartial referee between the two sides. This is the legal system in most common law countries (e.g. the United Kingdom, areas of the Commonwealth, etc.). In this system, the court isn't involved in investigating the facts of the case: that's up to the advocates.

This is in contrast to the inquisitorial system used in civil law countries (e.g. France, Italy) where the court is actively involved in establishing the facts of the case - so they're not an impartial referee like they are in the adversial system.
Yeah, pretty much. There seems to be a misconception in some circles that pseudoscientific ideas, religious faith, etc are outright despised by 'scientists' because they somehow go against some naturalistic order or something rather than because the evidence for them isn't there/happens to be weak. It's basically the basis for the old 'flat Earth atheist' trope, the idea that fictional scientists will turn up their noses at claims of magic or ghosts or gods because they're 'not real', even if said universe has them clearly existing.

But this isn't how science works. A 'scientist' who ignores evidence because they don't want something to be true isn't a good scientist, and doesn't act at all like a real life one would. If clear evidence for Bigfoot or Nessie or whatever else was found, it'd become a normal part of science. If we suddenly saw religious style miracles occur in plain sight with no other possible explanation, the idea of a miracle would become a scientific concept that we'd try and study. And in the worlds of say, the Lord of the Rings or Star Wars or Ghostbusters or the Legend of Zelda or whatever other franchise with things that don't exist in real life, those elements would be scientific in their universes too, with their scientists and academics studying them and their literature treating them like everyday things.

But yeah, despite certain fiction tropes and complaints from certain corners, science is about what the evidence says, not about some hard nosed disdain for anything not seen as 'logical'.
In real life development, if you do have a circular linked list unintentionally, what can you do other than terminate the program?
Whenever I hear about a particular technique that is supposedly backed by evidence I wonder what specific protocol was used in the studies supporting it. I also wonder how many studies have been conducted and for how many years.

For those of you who want an actual evidence-based practice check out Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). It's the most frequently studied protocol and it's been studied for decades. When you read stories about studies showing how meditation does XYZ and ABC, it's almost always MBSR that the researchers are using.

"Meditation" is a huge category, there's a lot of stuff in there. Some of it probably works, a lot of it doesn't (other than the placebo effect).

What you think of as "meditation" may not be what actually has been researched in a given study.

Of course, all of the above is only applicable to those of you who want to pursue evidence-based techniques. If you're just satisfied with trying stuff you read about on random blogs and HN posts then go ahead and try anything: prayer, astrology, witchcraft, etc - you'll probably realize a little positive benefit as long as you genuinely believe it will work.
Yes I know. It doesn't change the economics as there's no fuel savings. It's the same as overbuilding solar or wind and dumping the excess, you still pay the full price for the hardware and running costs so there's no real benefit to turning it down. You might as well find a cheap productive use for it (like making hydrogen as suggested by another commenter). But you'd be able to make that electricity that you're throwing away or using for hydrogen production cheaper with a non nuclear source.
A software artifact that has a very specific type usually also needs to be very specific in terms of its required preconditions. Which puts a significant burden on the user of that artifact. And now that user probably requires its own additional preconditions to be able to conform. And so on.

I don't know, maybe there is a good way of structuring the software to avoid this effect (I'm not extremely invested in type systems), but maybe it's just a lot of additional pain on top -- too much perceived pain for people who can barely make their software "seems to work".
