I go a step further and say for consumer stuff, put a stiff excise tax on things that emit pollution at the point of sale. Don't apply a $60/ton carbon tax on gasoline. Put a $100/ton excise tax on new cars. Use the cash flow to buy back older cars.

When it comes to industrial stuff, that's what you just work with industry to generate mandates that everyone has to follow. Manufacturing managers I talk to say they don't mind mandates. They just don't want to the be the sucker. As in Gallant installs $5 worth of emissions controls. Gooffus ships the factory to Indonesia and bribes government officials to look the other way.

Hacklang diverged from PHP proper a while ago, but I haven't validated what this actually means. I know interoperability wasn't guaranteed, but with Hack at your work are you able to use composer packages - i.e. Symfony components?

Indeed. The starting salaries of fresh grads in (Wipro/Infosys/TCS/etc.) has been stagnant at INR 300,000 to INR 350,000 / year for the last 10-15 years. Converted to USD this is: ~ 4000 - 4700 / year.

20 USD / hour * 8 h/day * 21 days/month * 12 months = ~ 40,000 USD / year.

Of course, experienced ones don't receive that might higher salary either. About 5 years of experience would probably get you around double to triple the starting salary.

> This curbing of the positive (emotional attachment to friends and family) to make the negative less bad and more tolerable.

I don't know enough about stoicism to defend it fully here, but it is similar to Buddhism in it's prescription of asceticism and tempering of emotions. So taking the Buddhist angle to 'attachments', the idea is not that you do not enjoy the pleasure of others, but you don't burden yourself with the attachment itself. That is, spend time with your loved ones and enjoy their company, but if they leave you tomorrow, avail yourself of your attachment to their presence, so that you can better live in their absence.

I think with stoicism, also, it's not about living a joyless existence, in order to dampen the painful moments, but to steel yourself to the reality that all things are impermanent. Keep in mind that many stoics, including Epictetus, Aurelius, and later, Seneca, lived in a bloody times. In particular, Nero ordered Seneca to kill himself, and by most accounts, he did so dispassionately. It's perhaps the character of these times that suicide is thought about differently between stoicism and Buddhism.

There are an enormous number of (small) churches that don't function as business entities in the way you describe. Taxing churches would adversely select against these, encouraging all churches to behave more like businesses. It's unlikely to me that that's the outcome that anyone wants.

If you think Christianity is broadly good and correct, the trend towards business-like megachurches and celebrity pastors is deeply corrosive to the faith.

A key difference there is that paying for your own military directly benefits your interests, whereas countries can engage in a race to the bottom with carbon removal wherein they rely on others to shoulder the burden while still enjoying the benefits.
I guess the question they will ask will be "do you want the flooding out of the cities that is occurring every second summer and costs billions?".

Fact is; even you "cool down" the earth, the equilibrium wont be restored easily, hence, we will experience weather extremes and must learn to live with them.

I can't imagine your model working for any town/city except the very smallest ones or those inhabited by rich people only: to have an independent building,where the community could do whatever they think is right for them requires capital and some sort of management. So if it's a small village in the middle of nowhere, building something is probably realistic,but what about a few thousand people town? You'd need a piece of land, substantial amount to build it or even to rent it. And how a larger community would finance it? Joe may want to contribute but Mary won't and so on. Once you have the place,who runs it. Self elected local activist or elected person? How would they decide that events they plan to do fit well within the community, especially if it's more diverse? Whether it's national or local, the main problems around its use would remain the same.

Yes, it does. That's the exact approach I used to get into grad school, and what I encourage others to do. Find a professor you like. Read their literature and get up-to-speed on their field. Engage with them around their work.

It's rare for people to do this, but it works. Sometimes you might need to do this with 2-3 professors to find one who is hiring grad students that semester (and be careful about programs where one professor can't hire but students are brought into a program), but it's a much better approach than spending a decade optimizing to GPAs, GREs, and what-not.

When someone does this, professors can have complete confidence the candidate can do the work, since they already are...

>>> Each 4U FPGA cracker is capable of 2.1 million bcrypt hashes per second, while consuming just 585 watts.

That's really not a lot considered the investment. A similar effort to crack SHA hashes would do trillions per second on CPU/GPU, or quadrillions per second on dedicated FPGA.

It is a testament to bcrypt success that it is able to slow down an attack by 5 to 10 orders of magnitude.

The lesson is unfortunately, that short passwords like 6 character long or common passwords in a top 1 million list can never be safe from cracking, no matter the algorithm.
Someone downvoted this, but this is a real and legitimate thing. It is happening continually with conservation; people don't notice the decline in animals and decrease in plant diversity because it happens over generations.

I think the difference is the intent. If the intent of the act is the death (or other outcome) of a group of individuals then the act would be mass murder. If however the intent of the act is to use these acts to cause terror (the deaths are merely a means to that end) then the act is terrorism.

Terror has been a tool of a number of political groups over the years. An easy example would be when the IRA bombing campaign moved outside of London after the ring of steel was constructed. The destruction of property, or the deaths of individuals themselves in London weren't the aims, it was the threat/fear/terror that anyone could become a victim. The terror was a lever to force government response.

For the record, I have the complete opposite experience. It used to be possible to just e-mail someone a description of your code fix, with a diff output inlined or attached. Nowadays, when I try that, people ignore the code you wrote and say “No, please patch is a git patch” (actual quote), or they require a pull request on GitHub.

In some countries, like mine, churches are funded by taxpayer money and they are also allowed to have commercial activities with no taxes at all.

In a way there is the irony of atheists providing support for churches, but it's just one of the ways the democracy fails with majority rules (55% religious vote that non-religious people pay taxes for churches) and governments as immoral institutions that exist to rule over people, not to care about them.

Interesting analysis. We have talk of a "Polo" shaped recovery in the UK. Polo is a 'mint with a hole' - so a rebound on the periphery but nothing in the middle.

One important point that I don't think is mentioned at all is the impact of Canary Wharf. Lots of institutions have moved out of the City and into Docklands in search of lower rents and bigger floorplans. Expect to see some move back if rents fall.

I do think that we are possible that we see some sort of rebalancing of the City - the statistic that there are very, very few residential properties is telling and the City is actually a very pleasant place to live - its pedestrian friendly, has lots of shops and good cultural venues (eg the Barbican) but is almost deserted at the weekend.

On the server side you can do WebAuthn and not care about conventional passwords. At that point you don't hold any secrets at all, you could actually publish the credentials you hold on file and there's only a modest impact on user privacy and no impact on credential security.

This makes no real sense, if they aren't chosen randomly then having 64 of them makes little difference and might make things worse. If they are chosen randomly then you only need a couple of dozen and you're fine.

The achilles heel of the GDPR is that you must act through a DPA. In the case of the Shrems he had to basically sue the Irish GPA in order for them to do their job. And instead of actually doing their job, the Irish DPA instead fought Shrems on behalf of Facebook.

As an EU citizen and resident, it's abundantly clear to me that getting a DPA to act in my best interest is mostly hopeless. I'm reminded of the CANSPAM Act where a US citizen can send their spam to the FTC and have them investigate it. Only they never will. All spam sent to the FTC just goes into blackhole, and next to no one is ever prosecuted. Even when it's clear who the spammer is.

I don't think many people realize this fact. That a politically motivated entity controls European's access to privacy restitution, and they're rarely motivated to actually do anything. This makes the GDPR is my eyes primarily a joke. It certainly isn't about securing my rights as an EU citizen. It seems more written to benefit lawyers and others who make money because things are complicated.

If the EU actually cared about my privacy rights they would allow all Europeans access to restitution without mediating it through national agencies. I want to be able to hire a lawyer and directly take abusive firms to court over GDPR violations. I shouldn't have to act via some pre-court mediator who gets to arbitrarily determine if my claims have merit.
I would guess the main driver for brain stimulation is the coordinative aspect of dealing with many motor skills over different body parts doing different things, while also coordinating the rhythms and cadence of music in your mind. So the more coordinated the movement (ballet, flamenco), the more stimulated. There's also the component of memorizing sequences. In this respect, yoga is also very fruitful. Many traditional yoga teachers say that yoga makes you more intelligent.

As a personal experience with ballet for over 5 years (starting in mid-twenties with no prior dance experience, and taking up other modalities later), it has completely reorganized my mind; now I have a strong and reliable memory for body movement, now I have a durable sense of sequentiality that I apply to everything I do (the gains are most apparent when doing many chores, cooking, getting ready for an overseas trip, etc), so that my consciousness is well ordered and doesn't get confused with simultaneity of inputs, but knows how to prioritize easily and without my ostensive effort. It's a bit like having trained a highly capable assistant that now takes over for many tasks that would previously leave my head dizzy with an influx of urgent demands.

Some of this applies to music and learning an instrument, especially not a woodwind, melody-only on, but a coordinating instrument like piano or other strings, especially if you are singing on top of the harmonny. Both dance and music are fundamentally about harmony, in dance you harmonize your body parts relative to each other and to the dance, and in choreographies like ballet, even more so to the other dancers, requiring exacting precision and balance.

Yoga and the classic dances are hard stuff, taxing the mental faculties. It may only not seems so outwardly because so many natural dancers start from early ages, and like learning a language, any mildly talented person starting so early will achieve ease eventually. But building that ease for late starters is much tougher than, say, programming a single page app, if I may be so bold.
So you force people to pay for it, instead of people wanting to pay for it. That's the major difference. People want gasoline or gas. People don't want to pay for CO2 removal, because they don't get anything back immediately - maybe a slightly cooler planet and better biosphere 50 years in the future.
I don’t think that’s a strong argument against hydrogen. At the moment, the vast majority of everything we build uses fossil fuels, including most batteries. Most batteries are even charged using power from fossil fuels.

What matters is whether hydrogen tanks can be a cheaper or better approach to storing and transporting lots of energy than competing technologies.

Proponents of using hydrogen say existing electricity infrastructure has way too little capacity making hydrogen, which can be pumped through existing gas lines, an attractive approach alongside electricity for transporting power. That makes it more attractive for storage, too.
