On the page I linked to, they address the amount available, and it sounds like there's more than enough. Do you have other information?

> Is There Enough Mineable Olivine?

> Yes!

> There is more than enough olivine for global scale CO2 removal for the foreseeable future. Olivine is the most abundant mineral in the upper mantle, making up over 50% of it. There large reserves all over the world found near the surface, in a formation called dunite, which consists of greater than 90% olivine. The current price is also attractive, at $25 a ton with the ability to go below $10 a ton with increased mining.
That really depends on the system. A large portion of the software for C64 for example depends on a cycle accurate simulation of the interaction between the 6510 and the VIC graphics chip at least, because which values are present in certain registers when the VIC renders even specific portion of a single scan line matters.

Last I checked, Jabber could completely replace all of these things except there were no good iPhone clients. Anyone know of an even remotely usable iPhone Jabber client?
No amount of money is worth this IMO. That's 30 hours a week, you could almost do a whole nother full time job with that.

Genuine question:
If your neighbor's seeds spread into your farm why do you have to reseed? Are you trying to avoid the cross pollination or are you required to do this by something/someone else?
why are you telling me this
I'm a big fan of understanding the tools in our ecosystem, whether or not we use those tools directly. Make is one such tool that I initially used by copying other people's Makefiles, tweaking little bits and pieces to suit my needs. Only when I sat down and learned what Make offers out of the box did I grok those Makefiles I was using.

I know people might use tools like CMake, instead of writing Makefiles directly. However, it's still good to know this important part of the Unix ecosystem.

(I was inspired to submit this to HN based on the discussion around "An opinionated approach to GNU Make": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21812656 - a fantastic article, but one you get a lot more out of if you understand the basics first.)

Super Affiliate System Review 2019
It does sound like they could have handled the switch better but.....going from completely free to paid...maybe they had mispriced the product and you had benefited from years of their hardwork at no cost? If they ended generating more revenue than they lost then it should be a net win for them. There's the reputational risk to consider by making this price transistion.
I am not much of an expert either, but as I understand it Zermelo-Frankel set theory is the most common foundation of mathematics and it is stronger than Peano arithmetic so I think Gödel's results hold in general.

Is a sarcastic response a good faith argument?

I have a poster here in my home office that was mailed to me by my employer's HR department. It advises me of all my rights under state and federal labor laws: equal opportunity, workplace safety, minimum wage, etc. In my mind, it is not at all inappropriate to advise employees of their rights. In fact, the only reason I have this poster is because state and federal labor laws require such notices. Those laws and those requirements are written in the blood of all the serfs, children, and laborers who couldn't earn living wages or who were forced to work at a tender age or who were injured due to corporate malfeasance. The freedom of association is likewise recognized as a right inherent to all people, and its protections were likewise bought with blood. We should all be reminded of our rights and the reasons we safeguard them. An employer who tries to interfere with its employees' freedom of association only seeks to exploit them. If it treated its employees well, it wouldn't need to worry about organized labor—and its employees wouldn't need to organize in the first place.
I mean turning off the sense of intention or agency (i.e. “conscious” decision-making), as well as the sense of self (i.e. self-“consciousness”). There is still awareness of sensory inputs and memory of events, but there is no sense of making deliberate choices, personal identification with the sensory data or events, or emotional response. So there is, for linguistic convenience, “a body” doing things, but it doesn’t feel like it’s “mine” or that “I can control it”. Overall it feels lightly dissociative, and I can carry on normal everyday interactions in this state; it feels like everything is on auto-pilot and the body knows what to do, probably mostly by habit.

I mention this particular state because it seems to reveal that the feeling of being an agentic self is a specific construction of mind, and that it can be intentionally deconstructed while maintaining other brain functions.

There are lots of related directions one can go with this; the “no-mind” state you mention and the techniques to achieve it are excellent to practice with.

Logi Options Daemon uses 4% CPU on a 2017 15" MacBook Pro while my MX Master 2S is moving. I wonder wtf it's doing the whole time.
I don't disagree that Trump created a much worse environment for attracting talent from the visa process to general perception of the US but I think quite a few issues that make people hesitate about trying to move to the US came before him. I'm thinking about the difficulty of navigating most areas without owning a car, issues with healthcare, gun control, etc.
Exactly this. It doesn't matter if climate models are all wrong. Polluting the environment we require to live in is a dumb idea generally speaking. It's as if your house wouldn't have a toilet and you, your family and all guests just take a dump in the living room. It's just a matter of time until smell and diseases spread around your house and make you sick.
So, teaching anything is certainly advocacy in the literal sense. Your math teacher is an advocate for you learning math, and the importance of math. I wouldn't say that's political advocacy, because most people would agree that the rules and facts around of algebra generally aren't something that's commonly debated by governments.

That said, if I was taking a world history class, and my teacher spent the whole class for a year exclusively going over US war atrocities and rights abuses, I think you could argue that would be political, even if it was all factual and correct. They chose to present a set of facts that leads people towards a specific ideology and worldview that influences how they observe politics and the government.

Telling people truths can still be political. Having a popup at work, or a chat message, that informed me of a political candidate's policy positions would be "telling people facts about reality they should know", but is definitely political advocacy. Just because that candidate happens to be in favor of workers rights, or union power, or parental leave, doesn't mean that it's now a relevant work topic.

In a perfect world, everyone would know all their rights and all the laws that are relevant to them, but most people don't. Trying to impose that I take time at work to inform myself about them is thus innately political advocacy. That's not to say that it's a bad thing - I appreciate folks who remind people to vote/registration deadlines, or post informative information about relevant local laws, but it doesn't mean it's not political advocacy to do so when you're doing it in a targeted manner.

It's possible to both think that what this person did was political activism, and to believe that it probably shouldn't have been punished this hard.
<$100 for a cheap handheld VHF/UHF transceiver (which would allow you to hit local repeaters, play with APRS, talk to satellites/the ISS/etc, etc).

Yaesu is a pretty solid "cheap" brand. BaoFeng/BTech is a less solid, even cheaper brand (my advice would be to avoid them, despite the fact that that's where I started...)
A lack of qualified instructors would be one reason.
There are some amazing connoisseurs of boot leather in this thread.
Why does any of that truly matter? What matters most is if it meets the needs of people using the product, not what language it is written in nor how it is deployed.
If he sent an email to the company saying "We want retail revenue to increase by X% by 2023 or we will decrease our investments in the retail parts of the company" I might be worried that the retail parts of the company were going to enter into a death spiral given Amazon's problems with quality control already.

If I also thought it was unlikely that they would hit their target I would be really worried (assuming of course I had any reason to actually worry about how Amazon's business was doing)

If we were talking about a company that had a history of shutting down successful divisions because they were not successful enough I would think "hey 2023 is when the shutting down process is likely to start"
Now I see what you mean. Excellent! I wasn't at all aware of early formalism.
I think Wal-Mart is doing it. They allow 3rd party sellers but it says if it is sold by the third party or by Wal-Mart. As far as I know everything that says Wal-Mart is the same as they sell in their stores.
Just for the record, you don't need to worry about any of that with RealVNC either, and the protocol seems way more efficient than any other VNC I've used. Frankly, I think the product should be renamed to get rid of this bad association. It's way more similar to LogMeIn Pro than TightVNC, for example.
That might be true though the founder most likely profited most of their money awhile back after the IPO.

WeWork Clinches $1.75B in Financing with Goldman’s Backing
Also, the "back in control" language is interesting. It implies the author believes users were "in control" in the past.

The "putting users in control" phrasing is classic Mozilla doublespeak marketing; Mozilla wants you to think Firefox is the only web browser under your complete control, when a look at their bug tracker and their reaction to all the changes that users have vehemently opposed shows the complete opposite --- a small number of Mozilla employees are the ones making all the decisions. Maybe their interests align better with yours, but they are just as authoritarian-control-freaks as all the other big browser vendors (or indeed, it seems all software companies in general these days.)

DoH behaves like only tunneling DNS over a VPN, and I wouldn't mind Mozilla working on VPN software, but IMHO something like that should really be a separate product (and one that not only their browser can use --- like most other VPN clients in general.)
Photons can also be seen as waves. And waves can also influence each other, in non-linear situations.

Because the experiments and theory are so simple, I think it is the most scientific approach, to at least test this Loader model more thoroughly. Even if I don't agree with it. ;-)

But others said that you could use it as a cell phone replacement; that is, for personal communications.

How does that work when it's illegal to encrypt it?

Agreed, but a lawyer who thought it is a rational policy may be right. And if the IT admin is arguing against the counsel he is unlikely to win that argument.
I think such things are coming very soon. VHF in particular is really easy to design for as the direct sampling SDR components supporting that band can be had cheaply. You can go on digikey.com right now and spec out a pretty nice pipeline without too much difficulty.
"I understand this isn't the point of the article, but it seems like a roundabout way of saying "don't overspend"."

Well yes, but...that's completely useless advice and the article is considerably more concrete and useful. (On the other hand, I'll dispute his 1-basis-point: I think it should be closer to .1 basis point.)

Just last night I purchased a new MIDI controller from the local Guitar Center because the Amazon listing was not sold-by Amazon. I don't trust Amazon's 3rd party program. I also recently purchased a power adapter from eBay because Amazon's listings were hundreds of items of incomprehensible trash. It's getting to the point where I don't even look at Amazon at all for many items, because I know their listings will be useless.
actually, the law acts as a guideline about which point you should cut your losses.
If it's still based on VNC, for sure it's much more efficient (and user-friendlier packaged) than any of the open source competition I've experienced over the years. So much that I think that still using the name VNC does them more harm than good.

The issue isn't about discussing labor rights it's about abusing security tools for political purposes. A bulletin board is not a good analogy. A bulletin board is non-invasive. This tool creates pop-ups on people's browsers. Normally, these notifications are security or privacy warnings so displaying personal messages here gives it a false sense of authority. Furthermore, it looks like she used an e-push to do this:

> "She misused a security and privacy tool to create a pop-up that was neither about security nor privacy," Hansen wrote. "She did that without authorization from her team or the Security and Privacy Policy Notifier team, and without a business justification. And she used an emergency rapid push to do it."

Zulip topics are the best implementation of chat threads that I've seen yet. You can view all of them simultaneously like a regular chat room, or focus down on one. You can mute either a single chat topic or an entire stream (channel). In most chat systems, if I don't read the messages within a day, I'll never bother reading the chat history because I have no idea whether there's anything relevant in it. In contrast, I can open the Rust Zulip once every few weeks and see if there were any interesting topics.

And if you're really sure you don't want to use topics, you can always just make a single "general" topic in your stream.
A lack of MOTIVATED instructors is more accurate. There are more than enough retired HAMs who would love to teach interested students -- they just don't care for digital modes.

Interestingly this goes against the entire point of the article, that castling results in defensive play which results in draws.

the electronics markets are overwhelming in size and quantity. imo either try to have an idea of what you're looking for, or be prepared to spend a few days to absorb it all. don't get me wrong, that's my idea of fun, but it might not be for your companions.

i did find it hard to get used to the vendors. the shops are very small and you will be aggressively approached by the staff, which I found irritating. do also be prepared to haggle.

shenzhen itself is not that interesting otherwise. Because it is so new and because it is a city of transplants, you can tell there is not much unique culture. There are plenty of more fascinating places to explore in the PRD though; Guangzhou is a treasure
I think an individual stock in this analogy would be "Will it rain in Duluth". Climate predictions, to use your economic model, would be more along the lines of "Will stocks continue to rise on the whole over the next 100 years?"
They don't have to match what it would be sold for wholesale though, just need to match the marginal cost. A graphics card that can run a AAA game is less than $500, so I don't think they are losing much on $9.99 a month. That's over $100 a year, and if each users plays 3 hours a day you can have 8 users using the same hardware at different times.

Now I don't think they are using consumer hardware, and there are other costs as well, but it seems realistic that they are making money off of it.

Most mathematicians probably think the Riemann conjecture is true, but that wasn’t what I meant. I should probably have said “consider proven”.
I really like the idea here. But wish there were more contrast between the text and background.
An interesting bit here (from the last comment):

> I came across an interesting example of perception vs. reality while designing a small text editor: When scrolling the text horizontally in a window we would refresh the text by redisplaying each line starting at the top. This resulted in a wave of text rippling down the screen, and many complaints that the screen refresh was too slow. The remedy was to scroll the bits already on screen and then redisplay each line from the top. The second implementation was actually slower than the first because we incurred the overhead of scrolling the bits before we even started to display the new text on the screen. However, the perception was that there was an immense increase in speed. We stuck with the second implementation because it increased the overall satisfaction of the user even though it actually decreased the throughput of the product.

The commenter is actually subtly wrong about what's going on here though (but fortunately does the right thing by focusing on user satisfaction).

Without scrolling the bits first there's a "wave" artifact. That movement will prevent most users from starting to get their bearings on the new position of the content until after the wave is done. Scrolling the bits first hides the wave and allows the user to start getting their bearings as soon as the bits are scrolled. Newly revealed content does take longer to appear, but if scrolling the bits is significantly faster than the redraw the difference is small and the user is able to process the new content more quickly overall by already having their visual bearings.
I guess I could see Singapore for the quality of life if I was non LGBT or not of a race that might face issues but as other people mentioned below there are a few issues about Singapore that would also make me not rank it highly. That said, I'm an American who left the US some years ago and lived in Berlin/Tallinn and worked remote around a lot of Europe. For sure quality of life is generally better in Europe in my opinion and I can understand why lots of people are choosing say Paris or London (Brexit aside) rather than SF. Except for people in Eastern Europe almost all Europeans also wonder why people want to live in the U.S. - my common response is that I would go to the U.S. if I wanted to compete to be in the .01% elite and be able to reap the unrestricted gains of such. If I didn't have a burning desire to try to become the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, go to Harvard, start the next Google and instead just wanted to live a "normal" life with work/life balance then I would prefer to live in Europe

Hmm yeah, that's fair.
If everyone adopted your solution, the issue that you originally posted about would no longer be an issue, so the best way to get everyone to your solution would be increase the penalties until nothing else is viable!

The reality is that you are creating a false dichotomy / straw man here. While reducing the amount of personal information that is gathered and stored should be the first response, that which remains can be handled appropriately with encryption and defense-in-depth.
