>But renewables are scientifically a solved problem

I don't think so. Whenever there is huge investment in solar and wind, you see a comparable investment in natural gas to bridge the intermittency issues (e.g. Germany). That isn't a solved problem. That solar and wind require huge amounts of rare earth minerals, have huge land-use requirements, and are largely unrecyclable, is not a solved problem.

>For the last 10%

You sure that shouldn't be the 'last 50%'?

>so you need synthetic gas for long term storage of ener

These discussions always seem to go this way. When presented with major challenges to large scale deployments of solar and wind, an unproven, unavailable or unworkable workaround is propsed. No, synthetic gas is not a solution, just like pumped/gravity or Li-ion storage isn't either.

>The technical hurdles are all doable

To be clear, this is an expression of hope for the future (after more R&D), and not reality today, correct? Today, we don't have a way to fully move off of fossil fuels.

>It's disruptive, powerful lobbies have been funding climate denialism

There are powerful lobbies all over the place. For example, did you know that natural gas companies are one of the biggest lobby groups for solar and wind deployments? Why is that?

Even at projected SpaceX lift prices of $1000/lb access to space is still prohibitively expensive. The Earth is big and a big mirror would be needed: millions of tonnes size range. Not only that but it would have to be delivered to the L1 Lagrange point, SpaceX prices are for lift to LEO only.

"Sounds a lot" like it? Sure. I've already acknowledged that on the about page. The important point of difference here is that ipv4.cat is listening for any TCP connection, not just HTTP requests. This is probably most significant for Windows since no CLI HTTP client is included out of the box (with the exception of some PowerShell cmdlets). Even a telnet client isn't included by default in Windows nowadays. This is the most universal way (as far as I can tell) to obtain a public IP address from any operating system at a terminal - just type `ftp ipv4.cat`. That's why I think this is unique.

You could do worse than read an IPCC report - https://www.ipcc.ch/ - which aims to distil the agreed impacts. In aiming to present only that which is most certain they err on the side of benign conservatism, which has attracted criticism.

A more readable view on possible impacts, which is the result of one journalist's attempt to understand the science, is David Wallace Wells' The Uninhabitable Earth. Whilst well cited throughout he may have included studies and impacts that are less concrete.

For a balanced presentation BBC's Climate Change - The Facts with David Attenborough gives all you should need in an hour.

Oh right, academic culture I suppose. Anyway nowadays with tablets PDFs are much easier to consume than they used to be.

The thing is ePubs and such aren't all that easy to consume. They don't provide standardised predictable layout, so you can't control how it will be presented to the reader. HTML and ePub only provide layout hints to the device or reader app. Even the reader doesn't have much control how the document is displayed. In contrast PDF provides complete, precise control over presentation. If it looks bad or is misleading due to layout issues or truncated tables and such, all of which are possible and can be very significant in scientific or technical material, it's all on the publisher.

I read a ton of PDFs, but then I'm a gamer and most tabletop RPGs are published in PDFs. In that case it's because many of them contain a lot of tables, forms and illustrations. They're also trying to create an atmosphere and express a theme, so layout matters. For a lot of material layout makes such a big difference to how material is interpreted that it is content.
"Stablecoin" != "hard peg to USD"
I think that matches perfectly what I have imagined. async and sync work support for PR reviews.

a) People not currently working on a repo (don't have a local build environment setup) and do tweaks and suggest improvements (e.g. add a unit test to prove make a bug clear) in a async way.

b) A tech lead/senior developer can request the author to join a live session to go explain the whole PR has a bad approach or misses a base guideline on the repo. Not sure on this case how a summary of review session should be added (maybe the PR should have a log of review sessions done).

c) A teach lead takes the PR has an opportunity to ask the whole team to join a review so that he can point out a recurring issues on the repo or to just align ideas on code quality.

I'm currently on 15mg in the morning and then 15mg after lunch. It doesn't quite last all the way to lunch or all the way to the end of the day but it's already such a massive improvement that I really don't mind too much. I'm lucky to not get much if any "rebound" when it stops working, so I can just keep going at my old pace even when it does wear off.

There do exist long-acting versions and I might try those in the future, but for now this is already pretty damn amazing.

I was having trouble finding the source but don't they only have 2 jet engines at the end of their flight hours. Plus they have to swap to the other engine for the record attempts after testing?

We did global trade before we had combustion engines, you know. So that is not impossible, just takes longer. And I remember reading about using cellulose-based packaging (corn husks I believe) to replace plastic some fifteen years ago.

Indeed. Going back to pre-industrial way of doing global trade is certainly a kind of a solution. Not sure how reasonable that is.
Well, in my experience once you get the ADD/ADHD diagnosis it's not exactly hard either. Clearly if you walk into the doctors office and demand a prescription it's not going to end well, but you can definitely ask to be tested for ADD/ADHD, and assuming that goes well asking about medication options should get the ball rolling.

Of course this is going to differ by country. In my case I had to try therapy first before medicating was an option they would consider, but that's hardly a show stopper in most cases. and who knows, maybe therapy is the perfect solution in your individual case.

History buff input here:

Arguably the downfall started with Sulla [0]:

> Sulla's military coup—ironically enabled by Marius' military reforms that bound the army's loyalty with the general rather than to the Republic—permanently destabilized the Roman power structure. Later leaders like Julius Caesar would follow his precedent in attaining political power through force.

A far cry from the traditional virtue embodied by Cincinnatus [1]:

> He came from his plow to assume complete control over the state but, upon achieving a swift victory, relinquished his power and its perquisites and returned to his farm. His success and immediate resignation of his near-absolute authority with the end of this crisis (traditionally dated to 458 BC) has often been cited as an example of outstanding leadership, service to the greater good, civic virtue, humility, and modesty.

Not OP, but in the same boat, and currently travel regularly. I always almost all of them installed (e.g. Uber/Lyft/Ola/Bolt/Grab etc.) and pick the cheapest. For now, there's the added incentive that you never pay full-fare for your first ride, too, so new competition is great.

CONTROL THEORY NERD ALERT! This is hands-down the best video on control theory I've ever seen, clearly depicting the relationship of the Laplace Transform to the Fourier Transform.

The Fourier Transform decomposes a signal into its sinusoidal frequency components. It is used in a bunch of everyday appliances like your guitar tuner, JPEG images (wavelet compression) and speech recognition on your smartphone or smart speaker.

The Laplace Transform, on the other hand, decomposes a signal into both its exponential factors (decaying or rising) AND its sinusoidal components. So the FT is just one slice of the Laplace Transform where the input signal has no exponential rise or decay.

In the electrical and mechanical domains, spring mass damper systems are super common, even your car's suspension! And to analyse and control them, engineers apply the Laplace Transform.

I think Unicode tries to avoid this:

In physics literature it is not uncommon to see Fourier transform with complex omega while Laplace transform is more common in engineering. It's the same thing at that point.

But 30 years ago I was the good, shy, student in a poor neighbourhood of a big city and never suffered or witnessed anything too bad (and from 4 to 12 year old we had a kid with Down syndrome in our class). And nobody would even think about splitting kids by ability, we don't have "advanced"/"honours" classes.
> Per capita is a red herring, what matters is the total emissions under the control of any one government.

Per capita is useful due to the fact that it offers a view of the consumption habit of an aggregate of people. Part of the what made outsourcing economically viable was the lack of regulations in the targetted countries. What drives the demand for this production is consumption habits.

But why don't these governments just tighten regulations? In doing so, they would be opening the door for manufacturing to leave because there are other opportunistic nations wanting that economic boon. How exactly are do you think the people within these nations are going to react when they start losing their jobs, when their country is lent money from the IMF, and then said new regulations have to be rolled back on condition of these new loans.

Note that I don't think the blame can be blamed solely on consumption habits, but you need to acknowledge that there are very real material concerns here and that putting all of the blame on any single government is missing the forest for a single tree.
