Some of that work about possible solutions has been done by Paul Hawken. His Project Drawdown book is at least an organized and reasoned list of 100 possibilities. I attended a talk about one of them - marine permaculture arrays.
This is a body of working knowledge developed over the past thirteen years, with new inventions being developed and deployed for growing kelp in the open ocean. What's proven is the ability of wave, solar, wind powered pumps to upwell cold water hundred of meters beneath the ocean surface, and irrigate kelp, doubling the growth rate. This is important because 93% of global warming goes into the surface layers of the ocean, cutting of circulation of nutrients needed by life.

What's proven is that seaweeds and kelps can sequester more carbon per square meter per year than the tropical rainforest. The idea is put submerged, autonomous satellite-assisted kelp platforms in the open ocean at scale, to farm for food/feed/fertilizer/fish or just sink
the kelp into the depths to sequester the carbon for hundreds of years. (per UN research)

There is now a kelp coin, which might someday play a role in emerging carbon sequestration markets. At the moment, it is a fundraiser, crowd- funding style to help raise capital to get these to hectare scale.
https://www.climatefoundation.org/kelp-coin.html This kelp coin is new, just a couple of weeks out.

It might take a decade or more to get to a gigaton of carbon sequestration. But it is also about food security and ecosystem regeneration. If you like short videos for information, try https://www.climatefoundation.org/2040-make-a-change.html
Back when it was Freescale, I don't remember their documentation being that much better than Qualcomm's. The software support sure was better at first but given the RaspberryPi community size, I think it'd be a wash - although I don't know when LibRem started development. The biggest difference I experienced was that you could download iMX documentation along with all the reference designs without breaking into a Freescale employee's house or proving to one of their account managers that you could sell millions of units.

I think we need to caveat _what_ is a database when we make statements like this:

> Databases. They are the single source of truth for our most critical business data, yet as engineers we tend to overlook tooling with this in mind.

Most folks, like myself, will assume that we're talking about traditional concepts of databases, like RDBMS or Key/Value stores etc. But over time, after building distributed systems, it is important to realize that _logs_ are also a form of a streaming database and we need it to treat it like such.

This is the basic principle behind the venerable article by Jay Kreps (one of the authors of Kafka): The Log: What every software engineer should know about real-time data's unifying abstraction [1].

Once we start thinking this way, then we realize that everything ends up having a schema (protobuf, thrift, avro, etc.) -- just a "database" with a completely different view point.

IMHO, and consequently this is true where I work, The Log is considered the single source of truth and what is traditionally referred to as a "database" is just a "just-in-time" view of data that is materialized from The Log.

Anyway, that is just my 2c.

The strategy is to multicast data to several nodes simultaneously. Data packets are sequence to allow receiver identify data loss. When loss is detected receiver finds breathing space to send a NACK. The packet and the nack would identify missing data chunk with O(1) complexity and sender then re-sends. Overall this method is lossless and avoids overhead of contacting nodes individually and sending same data over the network multiple times. This is useful in scenarios where several nodes participate in query execution and getting them up to date quickly is important.

I guess I don't see why anyone would expect their webpage to keep being published indefinitely with no contract or ongoing payment. Not many other things in the world work like that.

Services provided by a company typically don't survive the end of the contract to provide that service. If the company itself goes bankrupt, all services cease to be provdided immediately.

Typically the only organisations which can credibly commit to providing a service for more than a few years/decades is the government of a country, a well-funded foundation with a clearly specified mission, or similar.

Cover each nostril in turn and breathe in through your nose. One nostril will be easier to breathe in through. Now try it again a few times over a day.

I believe the reason your body does this is to allow your olfactory system to pick up a greater range of smells: Some chemicals are easier to pick up when the air is traveling slower.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone suggest setting text-justify. It’s one of those properties that I could imagine having been used in anger and with cause (justifiedly :P) less than a hundred times in total, though the true number is probably higher than that. Anyway, in this case it won’t change anything, because the text is English, and the default value of auto will be equivalent to inter-word. (If the text was Japanese, it would actively harm things, because auto would be equivalent to inter-character, and you’d mess that up.)

Anyway, in all current browsers, `text-align: justify` does greedy text layout, where it fits as many words in each line as it can before wrapping. This is technically trivial, but visually inferior to Knuth-Plass line breaking, which tries to find the most visually-pleasing place to break lines. Look at the screenshots of https://github.com/robertknight/tex-linebreak to see the difference. It can be rather stark.

As an adult I was in a better financial position and bought my daughter the cheapest bike to learn on. It's been six months now and she is riding just fine.

>looming energy crisis

Where do you see the crisis? Unless you want to provide everybody with an abundance of energy, people need food and shelter, some electricity for electronics and some transportation once in a while.

Of course, any amount of energy can be burned for simulations and bitcoins but that's simply limited by supply. There will be a crisis when bitcoins and simulations are more valuable than human lives, but that's not changed by offering more energy.
Honestly if I saw someone repeatedly put that type of logic in a PR even after I talked to them about it I'd either lobby to have them fired or I'd quit. I've been on exactly one project like that (a Go backend for a gaming company) and I wtf'd so hard I renegotiated the contract. It's like a car crumbling apart as it drives leaking oil all over the place. Complete chaos.

Telling things how they are, for a start, at least for the mainstream press. No matter if they go against one's narrative. We're not talking about politics or differing views, we're talking about scientific findings.

> You cannot bring openness and flexibility to a conversation with manipulative people.

That's how science is: open discourse. If you go for absolutes, eventually there are going to be contradictions, which will likely hamper getting important messages across. In my country, due to this, trust in scientific people is actually lowering, according to polls.
I find it's sometimes hard to figure out a quality source of knowledge, and sometimes it's hard to figure out what specifically you need to learn sequentially.

For example, when I was learning how to code years back, I literally had no idea what language I should start with. I learned from a top->down approach, but the benefits from a university is they lay it out so you get a bottom->up understanding.
It’s not a coincidence that all those are American: prosperity comes from innovation and innovation requires freedom, including economical freedom.
No, I don’t think so. Watching the breath is one method - particularly for beginner meditators - but far from being the only one. The breath is a handy “always on” tool for helping to remind a meditator about the rhythms of the body, but as you sit longer, the less (in my experience, anyway) the breath has to do with the actual meditative experience.

We have tons of decentralized platforms. The amount is not the problem. The problem is the user experience. For users who don’t care about anything behind the scenes and only cares about the experience, why would they go out of their way to figure out Mastodon when Facebook has a one-step signup process?

The reason central platforms win is because they have to be dead simple to use in order to attract any users. Decentralized platforms get their initial users because of how cool the technology is, but those people (people like me and you) aren’t UX experts and don’t prioritize UX.

It has to be easier than the central platform, and the central platform has the benefit of millions/billions of dollars to throw at it. Which means the decentralized platforms have to work even harder to overcome that. It’s not impossible, but it does require engineers to overcome their desire to build cool things and instead focusing on building a user experience that’s better than what Facebook/Twitter/etc can provide.
So I'm a landlord, and desperate. Someone comes and says that they can't pay their rent. I'd evict them... if I had someone to take their place. (I'd make sure I have at least one unit empty, just in case.) But if I don't have takers (and, if 11 million households are suddenly homeless because they can't pay market rent, I'm not likely to have takers at market price), then I'm likely to let them stay if they can pay me something. Because, you know, if I evict them, I get nothing, and something > nothing.

The characteristic frequencies in the plasma are much higher. Kilohertz and up. The steady state will be reached within seconds, so to the plasma 8 minutes is basically "infinity". But at that point the all the power that is leaking out of the plasma (50MW of heating times a Q of 10 implies that the plasma will output half a GW) will have heated the wall to the limit (and that is with active cooling of the walls). One could beef up the cooling to run at actual steady state (for an hour, or a day or a year), but it would not tell you much extra, so they didn't bother.

Yes, in addition to often being pretentious, judgemental/prejudicial, and pretending to be moral while working for a morally corrupt company. I am sure that there are good people in google trying to change it from the inside or people who for economic reasons did not have a choice but I doubt that there are many of them. It is also annoying how all google employees on HN suddenly disappear on threads that talk about the new cool unethical thing that google decided to do.
You don't send any classical bits in superdense coding. You start out with a pair of entangled qubits in the state |00>+|11>. Then, if Alice has the first qubit and Bob has the second, by manipulating the first qubit Alice can perform 4 actions:

1. Nothing, which leaves the combined state unchanged: |00>+|11>.

2. Flip the sign of the base state |11>, thereby changing the combined state to |00>-|11>.

3. Flip the first bit which changes the combined state to |10>+|01>.

4. Perform choice 3 and flip the sign of base state |10>, which changes the combined state to -|10>+|01>.

Now notice that all 4 possible combined states are orthogonal to each other. But we reached each orthogonal state by manipulating only Alice's qubit. When Bob receives Alice's qubit he can put the 2 qubits together and see which state the combined system is in. You wouldn't be able to do this by sending a classical bit as that can't participate in entanglement. And entanglement is needed to access 4 different orthogonal states via manipulating just one qubit.
Yup.

> nuclear power is the only realistic way to solve the looming energy crisis of the 21st century while still maintaining the same standard of living for everyone

I assume by "energy crisis" you mean "how do we continue to generate energy while drastically decreasing climate effects"? Because if we're not worried about climate there's no looming energy crisis. There's plenty of oil, gas, and coal out there still.

And so if we're talking about climate stuff... is nuclear really the only way? Renewables continue to get cheaper and scale up; grid storage with batteries and pumped hydro is already a thing, and plenty of other storage methods are in development, it seems unlikely not a single one of them will turn out to be useful?

Plus, carbon capture for fossil fuel electrical generation is possible, just expensive, and not all fossil fuels are equally bad for the climate, so possibly carbon capture + cleaner fossils could be part of the future, too?

I think people have been saying "it has to be nuclear, so it has to be fusion" since way before we had the alternative sources (and storage) we now have, and are continuing to develop. Is it just a trope now, that maybe should be revisited?

(I find the possibility of fusion power really exciting and interesting. I'm just not sure it's necessary)
This phone is an embarrassment. Petty mismanagement https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Zlatan-T... , subpar products, and breakdowns like this are nice, but you know what's better? Getting a working phone then getting the behind the scenes look rather than 2 unfinished products. It has none of the charm of the n900, at least pinephone is much cheaper, although I don't see a point to a Linux phone when they're mainlining a bunch of snapdragons like the one in the s9, with full network support.
Once postmarketOS succeeds there's little reason to get these Linux phone as devices, and the main reason was good support before postmarketOS ported Linux but the hardware is pretty bad. Poor hardware and poor software for a hefty price, a phone that when sold wasn't even functional and is still rough around the edges.

As someone who has done yoga, I must agree to an extent. Many yogateachers are simply not adept enough nor qualified to teach about breathing.

But there are experts out there and breathing disorders are a thing, so it does pay off to learn more about it especially if you have some complaints that could be derived from breathing wrong. Problem is that few, even GPs are not often well versed in the matter.

That said simply focussing on calm and being relaxed (breathing) carries little harm.
Didn't know. thanks for sharing.
Going by your broader definition, then: If there are shareholders, and there is any kind of fiduciary duty at all, then it must be to the shareholders. The officers of the corporation cannot act solely in the interest of more than one master. If they must act solely in the interest of some other party with mostly opposing interests, such as the employees, then there will be no non-employee shareholders. It would defeat the point of holding an equity stake in the company.

The officers and board represent the shareholders because the shareholders own the company. The employees do not own the company. Their relationship to the company is transient at best; they have an ongoing and hopefully amicable relationship but no real stake in the company's future. Either side can terminate the employment contract at will with at most a few weeks' notice and some minor payout (or payback) of (un)accrued benefits. If a given employee wants to take an equity position in the company and obtain some influence and a portion of the profits they have only to purchase some shares, but in practice they would probably be better off investing that same money in a more diversified portfolio. I myself could hold a "democratic" share in my employer (market cap divided by number of employees) right now via my 401k if I put most or all of it in company stock, but I'd really rather not take that kind of risk.

“Starve the beast” is a rhetorical boogeyman. Conservatives tried it, and we just decided to run a structural deficit instead. Nobody’s budget ever gets cut. CDC’s budget, for example, has tripled since 1992, adjusted for inflation.

But my point is, even if you think that phenomenon actually exists in practice rather than theory, shouldn’t Democrat-run state and local-level places be a counter-example? School, police, transit, etc. are all mainly state-level services. In places like Illinois and New York and California, it’s Democrats that set the taxes and Democrats that set the budgets and Democrats that oversee spending. In those places, you should see a marked difference between federal services (where big bad Republicans have a say) and state and local services (where it’s all controlled by a one-party Democratic system). But you don’t.
