I wonder if there are any costs to use the waterways.
Even if the boats are slower than trains, couldn't it be the case that with all the layovers a train takes as much or more time than a boat? It would be cool to have a boat service similar to Flixbus.
100% off-grid is economically not the most cost effective as you have to oversize capacity for peak too much. Current consensus is that 70% is the sweet-spot.
Off grid will be taxed when the uptake becomes less niche.
The benefits in terms of (partial) autonomy will remain.

Since my previous comment where I said there will be clawbacks for lost revenue by the grid operators was downvoted, let me quote from relevant studies [1]:

"It should be noted that, in a scenario in which {such systems} undergo a significant uptake, this mechanism is unsustainable since it generates revenue shortfalls for government, municipalities and system operators. These losses of revenues need to be somehow compensated, either by increasing the network tariffs or by changing the tariff structure, e.g. switching from a volume (i.e. per kWh)
remuneration to a fixed or to a capacity remuneration for the grid connection. Interestingly, this modification of the tariff structure is already ongoing in various EU countries"

Anybody have ready comparison numbers for "modern miracles" like statins and ACE inhibitors? Because 24% reduction in mortality is, in medicine, a staggering number when you're looking at something as prevalent as heart disease (roughly 50% of people will die of an heart attack).

Edit, here's some starters:

ACE inhibitors: 5% (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23750680)

Statins: no benefit (https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullar...)

Aspirin: might actually be bad for you (https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1803955)
Yet somehow the taxis are not being replaced at nearly a fast enough rate. These are surely one of the major polluters but they seem to have politically captured the entire mayorality so there's never much complaint about them and the avoid the ULEZ charges etc.

The difference is simply "rule of law" and "rule by law". Rule of Law means the law rules, and all laws apply to all people, without considering their wealth or connections or anything at all, other than their deeds and the law. Rule by Law means people use laws (and often selective enforcement of it) to rule over others.

e.g.

> The Rule of Law is an intrinsically abstract idea, which finds itself grounded in philosophical and moral conceptions. One of its most basic tenants is that all people, whether they be at the lowest level of citizenship or the highest, being the sovereign or government ruler, are all equal under the law itself. This means that no one is above the law, and any law that is broken should be equally punished across the board, regardless of status in society or local community.

> It is also associated with the concept of natural law, which basically claims that because we all belong to the larger human community, everyone must be treated under the same laws and possess the same rights.

vs.

> In contrast, Rule by Law is a concept that sees the governing authority as somehow being above the law, and has the power to create and execute law where they find it to be convenient, despite the effect it has on larger freedoms that people enjoy. To expand on this idea, rule by law is a method that governments and people in power use to shape the behavior of people, and in terms of governing a country, mass groups of people. This usually has the end goal of psychologically or forcefully persuading people to agree with policy decisions they otherwise would not agree with.

Why are you so afraid to protect yourself?
Choose a distro that doesn't have middle-men between the packages you use and upstream open source. Like Fedora or Debian. For what I mean by middle-men, I'll give a counter-example: Kubuntu, that is based on Ubuntu, that is based on Debian, that is based on upstream projects. I think that these chains add unnecessary complication to all parties.

I recommend Fedora due to the superb packaging done by the Fedora community (and supported by Red Hat giant). And if you like a desktop environment like KDE, you can just install it, or start straight from their KDE Plasma Desktop spin.

>But we're being told that self-driving cars are just around the corner

I'm sure not hearing many people saying that these days. I'm not sure there's a real consensus on exactly where things will be in 10, 20, and 50 years. But there seems to be a pretty broad consensus at this point that pretty much nothing is "just around the corner."

Once most of the people with a vested interest in self-driving being imminent found they couldn't credibly keep to that storyline, things got quiet in a big hurry.
Right, but right now there is a real issue (https://www.google.com/search?channel=fs&q=tesla+driver+auto...) with people b̶e̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶r̶i̶c̶k̶e̶d̶ ̶i̶n̶t̶o̶ believing that their cars are more autonomous than they actually are. Its good to assume that your car will not avoid accidents by itself.

>These all seem to have been developed for iOS first and macOS second.

iOS and macOS is basically the same OS.

iOS uses the same kernel and main userland, and was developed just as a spin-off of OS X with more lockdown enabled, some inapplicable services removed, and a profile that fits smaller devices. Otherwise the kernel, fs, userland, etc is 90% the same, minus different APIs (mostly UI) on top (which they also try to unify for several releases now).

macOS+iOS should be seen as the same thing as far as system-level development (kernel, fs, etc) are concerned.

Of course features still need integration to the respective form factors and UI paradigms (e.g. APFS required userland and Disk Utility changes, for one), and Apple has done that for both platforms.

>Stability, usability, and polish

And yet, Snow Leopard was created exactly because people complained Leopard and earlier were not stable enough. It was the release to focus on stability and polish over new features (and they even admitted this was alluded in the name change, "Leopard" -> "Snow Leopard" as opposed to a whole new version-animal).

And if we go back then, we can find tons of complains about instability, lack of polish, the world ending, etc.

>They've shown themselves utterly incapable of releasing a quality update each year.

Given that they ship 100 million or so updates, they have almost immediate adoption (far quicker than new Windows version), and the complains always subdue after 1 point release or so, I don't think so.

Not to mention most complains now are about them deprecating stuff (32 bits for one) -- as opposed to breaking stuff.

Heck, they pushed a whole new FS to hundreds of millions of users (5x+ that with iOS in), and there hardly any issues to write home about -- and that in record time (FS experts said it normally takes 10 years to mature a new FS to do such a conversion and warned of apocalypse which didn't happen).

No, I'm suggesting that they make it slightly more difficult to create ads on FB. Why do we see much less fake ads on conventional media? Because it's difficult to be anonymous, the process is a lot slower and the publishing medium (newspaper, TV, billboard) will have some sort of vetting in place.

Maybe FB could do that and give us access to who's paying for the ad so that they can TRY to make it harder for fake ads to exist and we (as users) have more information on who is trying to influence us.
Well, right now, if you want to buy a new CPU, you have to buy a new mainboard. Modularized in this way, you buy the add-in card which contains RAM slots and new socket/CPU. So you don't need to buy a new mainboard anymore. Explain how there's less configurable elements.
> China claims that Taiwan is part of its territory" is correct - as far as it goes, it just doesn't go nearly far enough

It's correct for a certain definition of the terms. Taiwan officially also agrees that it is part of China, after all.

It gives the impression that China wants to invade a foreign land whereas it is essentially a domestic dispute, the Chinese civil war.

I'd rather see a state like California try to create their own crypto, make it mandatory that brick/mortar stores accept it, and add some FDIC type protection layer and then figure out a way to bake in guaranteed basic income. That would be world-changing.

It would need some centralization to ensure gamers don't double dip and get 2x benefits from the dole.

There have been a gazillion discussions on how to ensure single identity in a coin that has basic income baked into it, and as far as I can tell nobody has a good solution, some web of trust protocols are promising but still way early in being useful.

I think the only way GBI will ever work though is via some sort of crypto, waiting for the governments to enact anything will probably fail, and crypto being electronic it drives cost down even more (no printing of checks required - all automated).

Weirdly, the github page says:

> COM has been superseded by WinRT which builds on COM to provide even more guarantees about the binary interface.

Yet the WinRT page says:

> The Windows Runtime is based on Component Object Model (COM) APIs, and it's designed to be accessed through language projections. A projection hides the COM details, and provides a more natural programming experience for a given language.

Which implies that WinRT doesn't supersed (ie. replace) COM but it uses COM itself (though the "language projection" part makes me think that the way it is used is so convoluted that you need language extensions to make it tolerable :-P).

Putting yourself at risk because there are supposed health benefit is stupid.

It's like being anti vax because you read somewhere that one time someone had a fever after a vaccine.

You can have health benefits AND protect yourself from dangers, one does not exclude the other (I would argue that protecting yourself from dangers will benefit your health more than cycling).

Unrealism doesn't necessarily mean just form of the character in the image, it can also mean what's shown in the image - is something unrealistic happening? Nevertheless, I don't doubt that realism is a significant aspect for some people, but those aren't the same people as the lolicon community, and the people who really do believe in the "2D > 3D" meme. I'd also wager that a good portion of recent stuff tagged with 3d isn't loli or shota, and could be in part explained by the popularity of SFM/Blender porn of 3D games like Overwatch.

In any case, it stands to reason that people who would enjoy real child pornography would also enjoy simulated porn (and likely, the more realistic (3D) the better), but it doesn't therefore follow that the majority of people who enjoy the less realistic content (which by far outstrips the 3D content) have the same tastes.

Usually, in survival analysis, it means that at any point in time, the likelihood of an event (e.g. death, heart-disease, whatever they're measuring) occurring for dog-owners is 76% of that of non-dog owners.

The only text messages I get from my bank are descriptive confirmations of actions I did. At the end of every message it says to contact them by phone if you don't recognise the action.

My bank uses a scanner to authorize pretty much all actions. It scans some sort of RGB QR code [0].
When scanned you'll see the IBAN you're sending the money to and the amount you're sending. I think that when the IBAN is in your contacts it shows the name instead of the IBAN.

But most importantly it shows a descriptive message of what action you're verifying.
I think the only actions that don't require the scanner are small transactions through their app and marking your card as broken/stolen in the app.

> There is a lot of nuance (and inconvenient history) lost all over. So where does, or should, it stop?

When it's relevant? Notice how it feels more applicable to contextualize this issue with it's history. Sometimes it's relevant sometimes it's not, it depends on how directly connected the present is to the past in the particular aspect being discussed.
Unfortunately with spoofed numbers it is, from what I've heard, incredibly difficult to track. The carrier that terminated the call to your carrier is likely not the originating carrier (the one that initiated the call) so it could involve subpoenas to many carriers to find the originator, which you then have to subpoena for the customer information.
Forest fires don't have much of a carbon footprint because all the carbon (e.g. vegetation) is already part of the carbon cycle.

Your carbon footprint is determined by how much carbon you're adding (e.g. burning gas that was previously sequestered deep underground) to the carbon cycle.

I suppose if a bunch of plastic got burned in the forest fire, that would technically be adding a carbon footprint, but it's likely negligible.
TOTP is in terms of usability not very different from PhotoTAN or ChipTAN, so I don't see how these methods aren't "proper 2FA".

U2F is a useful method, but it's not common at all (even in IT most companies don't provide it, not even the website we're on right now, nor PayPal), and it's not understandable how this isn't "proper 2FA".

In addition, the directive requiring the purpose of the code to be fixed and shown aside it, either in the app generating it, or in the push notification, is a very useful security aspect which most other 2FA solutions miss — even U2F can't differentiate between a login and a transaction authorization.

In the Netherlands we used to have dongles or card-readers for all online banking but we are now downgrading to apps, 5-digit number codes and 2FA without an external device. This is all for ease of use but I think from a security standpoint it's not the right direction to go. For instance, in an app you can't view the certificate and wether or not the connection is secure. If you are in a foreign country with dubious leadership it could be hijacked using a rogue SIM-card or some dictator driven root CA (looking at you Kazakhstan).

The worst offender is ING, you can set a payment limit in the app but then you can also change the payment limit in the app itself. If I take a nap on the train, you can drain my bank account my pressing my thumb on the reader.
