The tree planting idea could use more money from somewhere, I mean; if only a few well-off people (like I'm trying to create a dark, wet little forest (I use trees and plants that use very little water; I already have spots that have climbing plants over trees which are much cooler in the hot summers + hold dampness after watering much much longer than the rest) in a very arid part of Spain on my own dime, but I have the land and money to do that) do it, it won't help at all (besides other people thinking; crazy foreigners planting useless aka fruitless trees!). For most people it's simplistic but not feasible; however, if you would state sponsor the farmers here to plant trees between their fruit trees, it would fill entire south of Spain in no-time as fruit simply does not make that much and it doesn't make for 'forest' material, but they plant nothing else than the basic necessary trees to get fruit (and cut + replant years later if another fruit makes more money, which is really horrible to see, especially with older olive trees), which simply is not enough. The entire coast here would be forest, now only a sliver is left; everything was cut and used to fuel steam boats. But we know it's possible, just no-one wants to invest in it. I guess that's the case in many parts of the world.

I think both ideas are kind of 'simplistic' in a way; the one because theoretically anyone can plant trees and so people think ; 'that's a solution! let the state/others do it!'. Which makes sense; that's what taxes could be used for and billionaires can sink their philanthropy money into. And the other is 'let's just bugger off this planet before it dies and reboot on Mars! Let the state/others do it!'.

And both will give way to what you say; planting trees or going to Mars probably will give people the idea that now it's solved so we can just do whatever. I mean; I hear it from people with gas(well, Diesel)-guzzlers already; a lot of energy is from renewables and many cars don't polite as much / are electric, so 'my car is fine, the rest is compensating for it'.

We need people tinkering with several things; actually with some different perspectives; a) making renewables even more effective b) getting us off the surface of the planet if/when we need to (Mars, computer brain upload, brains in vats, whatever) c) try to cure the earth and it's atmosphere.

We need smart people and a lot of money to do these things, as none of them will 'just' work or be enough to fix everything fast enough. Problem is, we are, as humanity, not nearly focused enough of any of them. In movies (funnily enough, usually in heavily Chinese invested Hollywood movies) you always see that we need a common enemy bent on our destruction to unite humanity. We have one, but the uniting isn't happening; I guess it's not in-your-face enough yet.

> glibc by design lets random stuff on the system MiTM symbols like read

Can you elaborate on this? I'm aware of things like LD_PRELOAD, but if an adversary controls the environment, he could just change PATH to point to a rooted version of chrome anyway. That also has to do with the capabilities of the system linker, not glibc.

>the LGPL effectively forbids many projects from using static linking as an escape hatch

The LGPL explicitly allows static linking, that's the main difference versus the GPL.
I get the sentiment but the title is misleading. There IS a significant genetic contribution, but it's polygenic.
Most of the time you know your routine, and how much you've driven since filling up, and that tells you how much fuel you have left.
The human brain has no problem handling a 70k+ vocabulary of a natural language, just saying... until a language goes over a few thousand reserved words I'd say there's no adverse effect to them as long as they are clearly named/prefixed etc. in ways that don't conflict with frequently used words (and we know we can have sigils like $ for namespacing, # for separating function names from variable names etc. etc.
Two-stroke engines don't have to be environmentally a poorer choice than four-stoke engines.

Evinrude's e-tec two-stroke outboard engines are quite popular and have received awards for low emission levels.[1]

I've gone through a lot of fridges in the past few years with only one concern: noise. Cost and efficiency don't matter.

Most of the ones I tried suck - they might not be loud, but they were very irritating and frequently running. At least old fridges ran less often and had a more plesant engine-like noise.

The exception is ammonia absorption which doesn't require a compressor or fan. They are mostly used in RVs and hotel rooms, but can be used at home too.
The article made me think of the first one, then I thought of the second one and added it to explain what might be wrong with turning everything into an object of consumption. To be honest, I don't know a lot about the work of Walter Benjamin, maybe he also had more to say on this. But I do know that Hannah Arendt was on to a lot, and is as timely as ever. I love and recommend her more than I can say.

> When books or pictures in reproduction are thrown on the market cheaply and attain huge sales, this does not affect the nature of the objects in question. But their nature is affected when these objects themselves are changed rewritten, condensed, digested, reduced to kitsch in reproduction, or in preparation for the movies. This does not mean that culture spreads to the masses, but that culture is being destroyed in order to yield entertainment.

> The result of this is not disintegration but decay, and those who actively promote it are not the Tin Pan Alley composers but a special kind of intellectuals, often well read and well informed, whose sole function is to organize, disseminate, and change cultural objects in order to persuade the masses that Hamlet can be as entertaining as My Fair Lady, and perhaps educational as well. There are many great authors of the past who have survived centuries of oblivion and neglect, but it is still an open question whether they will be able to survive an entertaining version of what they have to say.

Interesting. I have wanted to get into GraphQL. As Clojure person I liked the idea but we had some similar stuff already.

I will defiantly look at that code later.
When I came from Europe (~ 2000) for an interview, the hiring manager took me to Fry's to impress me (something like "you seem like the type who'd appreciate this" -- I did).

One very Silicon Valley story he related was a guy correcting a sales guy (or shopper?) with the words "No! I know because I designed it!"

We asked for about something and the sales assistance gave useful information -- to which my manager quietly added after he left "He won't be here next week ... he will have found a better job". The job market was really good.
This article is textbook bourgeois virtue signalling - also known as "snobbery."

The kind of art he supports already gets plenty of funding. No one seriously expects MOMA or the Met Opera to go bust any time soon.

Patreon is a successful alternative for relatively small-scale public-supported art. Of course it reflects public tastes. That's what it's for.
I don't know, I feel there is a new population segment of "Internationals". We speak mostly English despite coming from various countries, usually share a lot of interests and lifestyle, and usually have very similar, progressive values. I honestly have more in common with a Chinese or Indian International than a rural christian from my own country.

This is a very privileged minority though, and it is unclear, if this process will continue and extend across more segments of the population,
What about genetic causes in the parent(s)? Such as a genetic cause in the mother affecting the hormonal levels in uterus.
It’s good to keep in mind that the same classes of people who praise “transcendent art” today and criticize “ordinary art” would have done the exact same thing if they had been contemporaries of the transcendent artists they now adulate so much. Very few people found any interest in the works of Van Gogh or Monet while they were making them.

100 years from now, this guy’s socio-economical equivalents will criticize whatever is popular then while revering the lost transcendent beauty of Minecraft shaders ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just let people enjoy things. I’ve also found that making things yourself is much more rewarding than telling people that they shouldn’t enjoy what they enjoy.
Also, you can see a trail of white smoke behind the car: fumes from the burned oil are white.

[For the uninitiated: 2-stroke engines require adding oil to fuel, as there is no separate oil chamber, so when you fill up the tank, you need to add a pre-determined amount of oil]
I don’t understand how offline ticket creation could work in any scenario, full-stop. Surely you need to have a data connection in order to purchase the ticket in the first place, right?
As someone who knows nothing about this subject, if the cause doesn't appear to be genetic then what does that leave? Environmental? Something else?
Many of us have done that to people like teachers who owned a Fiat 600 or 127.

Jack Ma and Elon Musk Hold Debate in Shanghai
I don't think that examining the breakdown of one funding source is indicative of a shift in culture. Especially not a funding source like Patreon. Patreon is especially suited for funding ongoing efforts or something that has a recurring payoff (weekly podcasts, YouTube videos, or regular releases of comics). That lends itself to "mundane" things as the author puts it. If you want to create a magnum opus you need to raise funds for a single big effort, so something like Kickstarter is a lot more appropriate. I'm sure if the author perused Kickstarter they would find many "grand" ideas. There is also traditional funding for established creators looking to do something grand. If you are a director looking to create the masterpiece to cap your career, chances are that you're getting a movie studio to pay for it based on your previous successes. The same goes for successful artists in most fields that can use their reputation to fund something grand. Looking at Patreon only gives you a single piece of the puzzle.

How did they discover that, given the curse of dimensionality? If the genetic contribution is significant, how do they know it's not some unreproducible model that is significant due to it having too many parameters (thousands of genes)?

Or do they have a theoretical model of homosexuality and took just the genes that the model predicts should point to it?
Off the top of my head.

Issue an asym key to a user upon them registering their official bank details. Backend holds one side of it (not sure whether to call this the pub or priv).

User uses the asym key to sign a message and shows that message to the inspector (in reality, QR code or similar).

If the user cheats you go after the account holder behind the key for reconciliation.

Small differences can make a huge difference. Like a bit of plastik that's 1mm thicker in important spots. Or picking electrolytic capacitors with extended lifetime.

The fastest Tesla seems to beat the stock version of the Bugatti in question by about a quarter second from 0-60 (2.25s vs 2.5s) but the Bugatti handily beats the Tesla in the 1/4 mile by half a second and 25 mph, so the Tesla wins at acceleration for the first second or so.

The torque curve on the Bugatti starts out lower for the first 1-2k RPM and then sticks at a significantly higher torque that seems artificially flat, likely limited by the rest of the drivetrain to save on weight (or ripping itself apart as opposed to the Tesla which would light on fire if the limiters were removed).
No, it's merely a contender for the ugliest...
Gave it a spin, I see what you mean, that's pretty good actually, thanks.
To me the most noticeable problem is dry eyes, which makes me feel like I'm exhausted and falling asleep, even if I've had a good night's sleep. Before we got humidifiers it started the minute I walked into the office.

Also occasional nosebleeds.
The "born this way" aspect of gay activism is trending down, even apart from the lack of scientific evidence of a strong genetic component.

It was immensely useful during the gay rights movement, especially in the years preceding Obergefell, as a way to essentially persuade straight people, "This is not something I can control, so it's not something I can change, even if I wanted to." There was a de-emphasis on how sexual relationships typically develop -- through a serious of free, conscious choices to which sexual partners consent -- and instead an emphasis on sexual attraction itself, which often does not feel like a fully a conscious choice.

Now, I'm seeing more and more LGB people, especially those under 30, freely admit what had been considered an open secret: that many of those who insisted that they were "born this way" actually consider sexual orientation not to be immutable, but fluid, to various degrees. Whether one has conscious control over whom one finds attractive at any given time, of course, is another question, but for a time, evidence for sexual fluidity, especially within the queer community, was considered potentially damaging to the "born this way" efforts and de-emphasized or suppressed.

Post-Obergefell, more queer people seem to feel like they've gained enough legal and cultural ground that they can freely admit it, though. And some do in an almost defiant way, saying essentially, "So what if my sexual choices are free choices? If I choose to be gay, who's to say I shouldn't?"

That's a far cry from the prevailing narrative from just 10 or 15 years ago, when very few gay people would admit that they might have any conscious control over being gay.
I think they define it to some extent:

> It is between those who believe in aspiring to something greater and those who do not. (...) something greater and grander than everyday life.

So "transcendent" would mean "concerning things that are not common encounters in daily life".

What they do not properly motivate, in my opinion, is why that would be better ("high") than focusing on ordinary life. I wonder if they're also turned off by Impressionism?

You could carry a balance on the app that gets reconciled when you're online.

You fill the tank, you know you can run for 500 kilometers. You know that your destination is 200km away. You can go and return on one tank. Also, the trips took much longer than today so people would stop to eat and relax at some point,and then you could also check the fuel.

The main difference is that you knew what the range of the car is on one tank and the distance between cities. So you were more present and definitely not bored.
I prefer to look at it like this: in the West, we used to have an effective cradle-to-grave UBI for females. In fact, caring for women and children in our culture was so important that we dedicated an adult male to basically every woman in the country, and her offspring. Super important. All of society was organized around this, and it's one of the greatest achievements of modern civilization.

Now we make women work for money, but the total amount paid across all workers is roughly the same. (Wages have been flat for 40 years, mostly because we have twice the "paid" workers—men AND women—but consumption is basically flat.)

It's regressive. Women have ALWAYS "worked" [0], but prior to the financialization of Western culture, that "work" was—as you pointed out—on activities that we can't put a price on, things like:

* building happy homes and families

* proper nutrition, which is extremely time consuming even today

* birthing and raising children (women had universal "time off" to have kids until we put those same women to work making widgets)

* helping out other families in the local community

* building and maintaining community institutions, schools, churches, etc.

* helping others in humane, non-financial ways where there isn't any money to be made

We've given up a lot of these things just to keep wages down for the Capitalists. At least the rising inequality over the last 40 years shows someone benefited. Just not us, or our children, or our communities.

Decline is a choice.

[0] I hate that our culture only values things that can be expressed in terms of money. Calling what women do "work" (or as the OP calls it, uncompensated "labor") is demeaning to women. What women do day-to-day is vastly more important than whatever bullshit men have to (gladly) do to build and maintain civilization for their families.

How to flag and detect deepfake videos
I get others to talk to me. I love tech, and I'm usually not social if I don't have to.
So I create events where others talk. That puts people that like the same subject in the same room. That also gives someone for people to talk about. Even better, that gets others to come and talk to me without having me to go to them .

That's why I love organizing Meetups. :).
The title doesn’t mean “the cause is not genetic”, but rather “the cause does not appear to be a single obvious gene”.

In reality there are going to be a bunch of different factors. Genetic predisposition is certainly likely to be one of them. Environmental factors too - like the hormonal environment in the womb, which I seem to remember had some correlation. Upbringing and social factors will also play an effect - a child with a strongly homophobic upbringing is less likely to explore their sexuality and end up identifying or embracing same-sex attraction.
Although I don't agree with Randall Munroe being in Nobel Prize for Literature league, even if he was he would win it in his sixties.
For me, smell of two-stroke engines is a smell of youth. My father's chainsaw, and later my own moped/motorbike.

In fact it is curious how people may associate smells so strongly with negative or positive feelings.

A thick smoke of 2-stroke exhaust in a city isn't a fun thing. But as an occasional smell, it's nostalgic, good.
Threaten both sides with expensive litigation if they don't stop, hoping that one of them will get cold feet, forcing the other to find another customer/dog walker.

Just having the term there is enough to act as a chilling effect, which is all they need.

They might also occasionally take a customer to court, at a loss, to scare others.
> Not sure how the author decides what is ordinary and what is transcendent

I didn’t find the author criticism the artists as much as their subject matter. Talking about Elon Musk or nuclear technology or philosophy is transcendent. Talking about the everyday life of a Charleston crab fisher is ordinary.

I like both! But I agree that pop culture fetishises the latter while looking down on the former. (It reminds of of revolutionary France, dialled down orders of magnitude.) I also agree that a healthy culture embraces both.

Virtue signalling in popular culture increasingly looks down on transcendent subjects as out of touch. It’s an interesting recapitulation of classical virtue signalling, e.g. eschewing rock for the opera.
DAMMIT THIS WAS GOING TO BE MY COMMENT :D
The better fridges use technology like vacuum insulation panels to make the walls thinner whilst still providing the same level of insulation. This gives more interior space for a given appliance size whilst still keeping it efficient. I think there's diminishing returns from adding more insulation, partly because heat loss from things like the door seal and opening the fridge starts to become more important than loss through the walls themselves.
Jack Ma talks on completely different level it seems.

But I agree about artificial intelligence is as bad as name as alibaba intelligence.
Gamescom 2019 a DEVELOPER's Perspective
Last statistics I saw showed ~50% of all traffic (which includes vehicles with speed limiters) travel in excess of the 70mph motorway limit in the UK.

Personally, I tend to cruise at an indicated 100mph because above that enforcement ratchets up. Which is about 160kph. I certainly think it's fair to describe that as not uncommon. I do similar speeds in France and Germany and am rarely the fastest vehicle around.

At check-in, collect those tickets and when online again, charge the credit card.

That is how I felt about mastering Photoshop. "Muscle memory," exactly. And patience, yes, it took time and a lot of practice. I learned to accept intermediate stages as paths to mastery, knowing I'd get better if I just kept trying. Since then, that's how I approach all learning. I know that whatever else I try to master, I will get there, and what seems hard at first will become easier. I mean, that realization is like muscle memory too. It's ingrained in me now.
