> Change will have to come from within the CCP

And I'm guessing if the West and Russia had waited, the Nazis would have stopped putting people in concentration camps too? The CCP is exactly the same party that still covers up the 1989 Tienanmen Square Massacre - they can't even admit their previous failings.

It's hard to find any amusement in the HK situation at all.

I am not aware of any scenario where the Communist dictatorship has listened to reason or has allowed the infiltration of it's mainland media. Their entire dictatorship is based on narrative - whilst it's positive, they stay in power over the people and army. Any deviation throws their rule into question, which is why they crush it at any cost.

You're missing the weekly peak/troughs.

The highest weekly peak so far is 33.42%, and the troughs are just below 30% at the moment. The last time the weekly peak was ~30% was in December last year.
This could be handy when you post on a forum or underneath a new article. Sometimes you want to go into more depth but technically limited on space or frankly it would be too much. You could have a link to note for those that wanted to read more. Would like it if I could host on my server, and had markdown (as said) plus some basic tracking info - # clicks etc.
Ah, hey, didn't see you were also the submitter. I enjoyed your writing; it is interesting to run across systems thinkers.

And just to fill up the word count; if you haven't read up on the major statistical paradoxes it is possible you'll enjoy them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Statistical_paradoxes for your attention. If you are playing with stats for the framework then the other half of the fun is delving into the paradoxes; knowing them by heart is a great trick for interpreting evidence.

Maybe in direct comparison to iMessage and considering only economic factors of "availability". Ease of use and how easily your contacts adapt a messenger are far more important factors to your average consumer. If you really want to argue economics, it's hard to argue with any of the other free messengers (Signal, Telegram, WhatsApp, etc.) over XMPP.
Obviously, it's temporary. Handing every possible IPv4 user 2^32 IPv6 addresses is a worse than pointless gesture. It's an 10^9 scale changing of the subject.

IPv4 not having enough addresses is why it's valuable. It's impossible to arm band every human with 32b.

Online classes suck, especially since it’s hard to meet new people and make new friends.

That's probably how it's done in your nearest port, as well as anywhere else. With actual storage and fire safety procedures (hopefully) better followed.

Same reason you have ammunition depots in the military and not mixed storage of your howitzer shells with MREs and socks. Partitioning hazardous stuff into dedicated holds with heightened access and fire security is how it's done everywhere.
I agree with you, but my point is more broadly that in reality we often don't go through the steps "1. estimate probability" -> "2. make a decision based on the probability distribution", because step 1. is so error-prone and intractable, that we typically jump directly to step 2. and try to limit our downside.

Of course you could look back and say, given the fact that I took some decision, what would have been my prior if I had used Bayes theorem, but my point is that we don't actually use it for taking the decision.
Say you own oil that will arrive in the port of Rotterdam in a month. You can sell it now, delivery date in a month. It's now essentially a virtual good that can be traded, but becomes physical in a month. Somebody who owns a refinery might buy it because they think prices will rise; or someone might buy it to sell it half a month later, allowing them to trade on the price of oil without going through the hassles of storing actual oil.

Then of course there are funds that just buy these futures, hold them for a while, sell them shorty before delivery and use that money to buy fresh futures. That way they can have a fund that closely tracks the oil price without having any physical infrastructure.

The catch is that at some point the oil turns real. So if you own oil bound for Rotterdam but can't actually receive any oil, you have to sell to someone who can take the delivery. If nobody wants the oil you might have to pay money to have someone take the oil, effectively creating a negative oil price.

It wouldn't pollute the file scope namespace. You can define it in eye sight of the sort call, steal variables from the nesting functions stack etc.
Essentially any library function that takes any kind of callback benefits from being able to take a generically-effectful callback. There's plenty of mileage in basic things like database row mappers.

If you want fancy examples, things like generic data structure traversals (I use a cataM like https://github.com/ekmett/recursion-schemes/issues/3 all the time). Another good example is iteratees - you can define an effectful source, an effectful sink, or an effectful transformation stage in a stream pipeline, which makes it very practical to have very small reusable pieces. Since it's using the generic monad interface you can define an intermediate stream transformer even for some custom effect that you wrote yourself, but be confident that everything will be plumbed together correctly.

I have meet a surprisingly large number of people who think that fixed point arithmetic is the solution to all of their problems (probably because its use is not widespread).

The big problem with fixed-point, making them a bad choice for most scientific computation (which is where the design decision for the current dominating system came from) is their lack of resolution.

You can represent only a comparatively small interval of numbers and a few division|multiplication will quickly lead to large errors in the output (even if you do not hit underflows/overflows).
That’s great, but my point was it’s already illegal and no one complains about that on the regular. In my view the two viewpoints are identical, so those who argue against masks should get out there and argue against clothing too if they were truly consistent.

I think people in this thread are confusing "free market idealists" (usually libertarians) with conservatives/Republicans. A free market idealist has no problem with a free labor market that self-organizes into unions as long as the government doesn't mandate unionization. Conservatives and Republicans tend to advocate for big business and have therefore a natural antipathy towards organized labor.

Methane is not made from oil. It's either directly pumped out of the ground as natural gas, or collected from organic decay processes. Methane is more carbon-efficient, as it has almost 2x more hydrogen per carbon compared to longer hydrocarbon fuels, and most of the energy in the molecule is in the hydrogen, to the tune of 40% more energy per ton of CO2. One ton of methane burnt produces ~2.7 tons of CO2 (and 2.2 tons of water), compared to one ton of octane producing 3.1 tons of CO2 (and 1.4 tons of water).

Of the propellant in the rocket, less than a quarter is methane, and more than 3/4ths are LOX. The stoichiometric ratio would be ~1:4 (by mass), but for various reasons most rocket engines are more fuel-efficient when burning fuel-rich, so the real ratio is probably somewhere between 1:3.6 to 1:3.8. The energy cost of producing LOX is really, really low, less than 1% of the energy content of similar mass of methane. Also, this process is done with electricity, and is very amenable to intermittent production. (So the CO2 impact is effectively zero).

Coming from the other direction, according to the department of energy, the US yearly CO2 emissions from all anthropogenic sources are ~6.7B tons of CO2 equivalents, while the launch of a single SS/SH produces about 2700 tons. If you were launching a thousand of them every year, they would account for 0.04% of emissions.

Perhaps the type of login flow they’re getting to is that of an OIDC form_post response method? An auto-posting form is returned from the identity provider, which is then submitted to the relying party.

https://openid.net/specs/oauth-v2-form-post-response-mode-1_...

At least in .NET Core I observe a cookie for the OIDC nonce (.AspNetCore.OpenIdConnect.Nonce - defends against replay attacks) and a correlation cookie (.AspNetCore.OpenIdConnect.Correlation - tracks session through the redirect handshake). Both of these are created during the login redirect sequence and not intended to live beyond it.

The correlation cookie is set to SameSite=None here

https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/blob/master/src/Securit...

The nonce cookie is set to SameSite=None here

The idea is that if someone able to afford a cow 1000$ does not buy it, then it will be sold to someone willing to to buy it 999$ and who could not afford it before. To have a real impact on the market and the incentives to raise cattle, you'd need a real lot of people to become vegan.

Because plant based farming is unsustainable, harmful to the climate and contributing to global warming. High yield farming uses a lot of fossil fuels, uses up land and water, pumps tons of herbicides and pesticides into the environment, turns lakes and oceans into massive underwater deserts where neither plants or fish can survive, and creates mono-cultures out of bio diversity. Agriculture has it place but it need to be done sustainable and without nitrogen fertilizers.

Seaweed and shellfish farming has one of the lowest production footprint of all foods, don't need herbicides and pesticides, don't need fresh water, and don't need fertilizers produced by fossil fuels, and do not use up high quality land. The only other kind of farming that beats its efficiency in land and CO2 are insect farms.

Shellfish can also be used to clean polluted water, but for health reasons they then can't then be sold as food. The output can however be used as an organic fertilizer, depending on the amount of toxins they have absorbed and additional cleaning process, so there is some potential for an combination between plant crops and shellfish farms.

If 50% of all land was turned into man-made desert we would notice and get worried. That we have already done this to the worlds lakes shows how insanely harmful modern high yield agriculture is. Add that with the massive decline in global insect populations, with 75% loss in 26 years, and we can't just replace one harmful diet with an other.

This is exactly the sort of site HN readers complain about whenever there's a thread about frontend dev. 24MB over the network and 22.7s before the page is interactive from a cold cache start. Even with the page cached it takes 3s to start. All for a 3-screens-tall page with a few light animations. There's been literally no attempt to optimize some of the assets. For example, https://wavechat.tech/assets/img/matthew.JPG is a 2732x2733 JPG that's displayed at 384x384 resolution. Putting it through https://squoosh.app/ and optimizing it for the right size and better JPEG encoding reduced the size by 97%. That website should be 200Kb and displaying in 500ms at most.

Obviously this is a criticism of the website rather than the application, but I don't even want to try it if the marketing site is that poor.
This is the issue, it is not a matter of convincing the Chinese people their government is a problem it is a matter of convincing politicians in the Western world that China is truly a problem and pressuring corporations at stock holder meetings the same.

Both need to be told the same thing, doing business in China is not acceptable. Corporations can be forced to change course by stock holders and national or state governments, governments can only be changed by pressure on the political parties in each.

As fellow humans, there is no way to look at this situation and find something positive. The actions of the CCP need to be condemned. If you disagree with this point, we are fundamentally at odds.

To those complaining about the anti-China narrative, it's the CCP (government) which are at fault, not the people. I think we should always make it very clear that it's not the Chinese people we take issue with and we are not condemning people based on race.

As for actions taken against China and masquerading behind human-rights to justify them, I think it's okay to temporary align ourselves with those whose actions align with our ideology, even if the motivation is different. Life is about compromise and we're going to find very few allies if we will only work with people perfectly aligned with our own motivations.

And yet, when I beg my google cloud rep for IPv6 addresses on instances (or on anything that isn’t the load balancer) I get told that it is not on the immediate roadmap.

The cloud providers have pushed back ipv6 adoption so hard imo. At least native ipv6 access.

I know they’ve thrown in some token support and you /can/ make something work; but compared to VPS providers which consistently deliver machines with IPv6 addresses by default- it’s a huge barrier to adoption. You have to really /want/ it, and most people don’t see the value. Unless it’s a backend for an iOS App.

It really frustrates me.
