A larger trial would be even more conclusive.
Solar shading is on the order of $1 trillion per decade, assuming SuperHeavy+Starship and full reusability as I recall ($10,000 per ton). As a bonus, the capability to launch 10s of millions of tons to orbit fundamentally changes the capability and reach of humanity.

Sucking gigatons of CO2 from the air at the current efficiency is basically infinite dollars, but it could conceivably be cost competitive with the solar shade in a few decades. It basically just requires massive amounts of fully renewable energy, so the benefit is it’s a massive renewable energy generation subsidy.

But renewables are already more than cost competitive, the problem we have now is energy storage (batteries).
Sure. Map the HAMT to an index into a persistent vector or something e.g. Scala's VectorMap and TreeSeqMap. You could also reuse the old "linked list map" idea, but go through the keys every time e.g. whenever you add a value to the map, add a triple of `(Some(last_key), value, None)` and update the last keys value such that the third item becomes the key of the new item.

In 1861, would "taking note and understanding Confederate people views on Confederate issues" have been more productive?

You can justify absolutely anything if you try hard enough. It's harder to justify the policies of a racist, genocidal government like the CCP, but calling them "Chinese issues" seems to work for some.

This is not a real thing. Voting at the UN is not contingent on military power in any way.
I certainly don't know about legal rights, but I think the ethical thing is to make sure that any writings published as freely accessible should remain so forever. What would people think if an author went into every library in the world to yank out one of their books they no longer want to be seen?

I do think the author is wrong to immediately post links to archived versions of sources. At the least, he could link to both the original and archived.
Venezuela? Iran? All you have seen is a change towards friendliness to Russia. Its not a change in the policy of using sieges without declaring war to starve and kill populations to somehow punish leaders (I refuse the word sanctions because it is a weasel word). That practice is alive and well and worse then ever; the only change is in who its weirded against.
Its perfectly possible to have realtime requirements and still have variable latency as long as all the variability is bounded. Think video playback or gaming, both of which run on traditional OS's because they tend to be fast enough to meet the frame deadlines. Of course as we all know, the requirements aren't "hard" so dropping a frame/etc is a non critical failure.

So, there is a spectrum of realtime and how "hard" it needs to be. There are a lot of cases where simply having a real time OS on a traditional processor is fine as long as everything can be sufficiently bounded.
IIRC I had to jack the price up because my demand was way outstripping supply. Once you get the mega auto clippers it brought my price back down to around 20 cents.

It was annoying clicking the raise/lower price button that many times, as you can make this mistake without realizing the source of your problem (raising the price feels like the right thing to do). There should be a +/- 10 added at some point.
You have natural talent which becomes exponentially better with training. But a guy who struggles to even find words will be trounced by you 9 times out of 10. Regardless of who is right.

Interestingly those type of people will rarely venture on message boards, because this requires a lot of reading and writing and they would rather spend their time on other pursuits(maybe more visual?). Its interesting to imagine the section of viewpoints that dont even get represented at this level.
> Now, well into the 21st century, researchers led by the University of Cambridge have detected remnants of the pioneer personality in US populations of once inhospitable mountainous territory, particularly in the Midwest.

As a person who was born and raised in the Midwest[1], just where are these mountainous regions they speak of in the Midwest? There's the black hills[2] and that's pretty much it. I wonder what definition of the Midwest the University of Cambridge is using, cause it sounds like they are talking about the intermountain west[3], not the midwest.

The S&P 500 isn't "the market"; it's an index. The actual market is very clearly arguing for the inclusion of Tesla given how it's valued so highly over the vast majority of the stock that the index managers have included in the S&P 500. The S&P 500 purports to be representative of the 500 largest public US corporations, and by excluding Tesla they are absolutely failing to do so. When I buy A&P 500 tracking index funds I am not expecting that the index managers themselves are arbitrarily excluding companies that meet the qualifications.

From the S&P's own literature:

> To be eligible for S&P 500
index inclusion, a company should be a U.S. company,
have a market capitalization of at least USD 8.2 billion,
be highly liquid, have a public float of at least 50% of
its shares outstanding, and its most recent quarter’s
earnings and the sum of its trailing four consecutive
quarters’ earnings must be positive.

Tesla meets all of these qualifications as near as I can tell. It blows the market cap requirement out of the water and has been profitable for the trailing 4 consecutive quarters.
That's not a particularly good way to encourage discussion.

What is it specifically about Feature & Scope creep that you would like to say?

They are not meant for a precise measurement, but it is useful to monitor a trend over time. In my case, the fat measurement is in line with what I see on the mirror.

Also, if you use only one source of data (ie. the fat measurement of the scale) and do not mix different sources, accuracy is not that important. Since, if there is a systematic error in the measurements, it applies to all the measurements and the trend is always true, even if there is also a small randomness component.

The main selling point here is convenience. You can do a somewhat decent fat measurement in your bedroom. The Dexa can not beat that.

On the other hand, my model (one I bought in 2015), also supports heart rate and this is total rubbish. To the point that it might give me 120 bpm at rest, then go on and do a workout and immediately after the work out, it reports 70.

In Nim the equivalent is using a `static:` block, then everything inside has normal Nim syntax but evaluated at compile-time.

You can also do `const a = static(foo(x, y, z))` to force normal function to be evaluated at compile-time and store them in a constants.

Hence you don't need to use macros for compile-time evaluation in Nim just like in Zig. However macros are necessary for AST manipulation.
And Swedish military intelligence uncovered Swedish staff complicit in ongoing rendition flights via Sweden years after the black-bagging incident had caused the government to formally protest about it.

We know this only because Wikileaks leaked cables from the US embassy after they were called in for the Swedish government to object that this continued to happen even without the governments knowledge.

So one thing is what the Swedish government itself would be complicit with. Another is whether the US cares and whether the Swedish government would have the power to stop it.

Personally my pet theory is that the Swedish charges were not something that happened with US involvement, but an overzealous prosecutor, but that there were enough iffy things going on that I understand why Assange would fear being sent there - that fear does not need to be justified to be real.

But I also know that as someone living in the UK, even with the kangaroo court Assange is currently subject to, I'd far prefer to face an extradition hearing in the UK to Sweden, because even in the face of this I wouldn't trust the Swedish government to be able or willing to resist as much as the UK government.
The responsibility of the US government is to its residents, not just its citizens. These includes being an attractive location for foreign visitors with money and labor to spend in US.

And also to be member of the world community.

Finally many Chinese people with friends in China are citizens.
Gtfo. They simply mentioned how this a very worrisome situation, and quite rightly at the end of it, did some venting, which I haooen to agree with.

No, as clearly listed on ASPI's official website, Google, Microsoft, Oracle are sponsors of ASPI's International Cyber Policy Centre (ICPC), they are not sponsors of ASPI itself.

If nothing else, it's a gross oversimplification of history - a basic "us vs them" narration. When in reality, alliances were driven more by political necessity than by religion. There were Hindu generals in Mughal armies, just as there were Muslim commanders in the Maratha armies.

If you trace the Mughal family tree, you'll also find that someone like Shah Jahan was 75% Indian by blood (Hindu Rajput grandmom, Hindu Rajput mom). Make of that what you will.

Twister: Peer-to-Peer Microblogging
Have you had any eDiscovery experience in the past? I was an analyst for 15 years and AI is really coming on strong now. I've seen, in my job search, a few places where a JD coupled with a little CS knowledge could be useful. A buddy of mine is a patent attorney and quit his firm job to start his own shop doing natural language processing against the US and foreign patent databases. He didn't get his hands into writing the software but he's had to develop a reasonable understanding to guide his process and sell it.
The US election is likely to be extremely messy and contested. Hence my comment upthread suggesting that people volunteer as poll watchers.
I read through the entire list of falsehoods about addresses and I think I've got a few more broken assumtpions that weren't listed:

* A property will have an address

(I live in a very rural area of CA where the roads have forked several times for many miles to get to a property and they are all unnamed private roads. People often just put down the APN and the nearest town (which might be several miles away) as their address. I deal with this one all the time. I routinely have to find their house for the first time. Good luck using GPS here, if you can't read a map, you're S.O.L. [And no, even trying to confirm that you are where you think you are with GPS on your phone is gonna be a challenge. For one, you're miles from cell reception so if you didn't save the map to your phone, you're screwed. For two, under heavy tree and cloud cover, you may not even get a GPS fix on a phone.])

* A recipient needs a name and address

My mother lived for a time in a very rural area nearby. She rode a BMW motorcycle and someone she met only briefly once successfully sent her a letter by simply drawing a BMW symbol as the name and address and affixing the nearest town.

* A person has a street address

Homeless and rural people regularly fail this one.
There was a scandal, yes, and then cablegate revealed rendition-flights via Sweden kept happening for years afterwards and the Swedish government kept it quiet when they discovered it.
Exactly. It's annoying when people think you're being hyperbolic or "too political/left/anti-Trump" when you point out how uniquely dangerous Trump is. He openly talks about his autocratic desires frequently and a lot of Americans frankly don't care about an American president being an open self-admitted threat to democracy.

We're in a really bad situation when a simple statement like "Presidents shouldn't talk about extending term limits and suspending elections" gets any reaction other than strong universal condemnation from all sides of the political spectrum.
>And for what reason? And why with a substance they are famous for? And not just a bullet/car accident?

Because they want to send a message, while also maintaining plausible deniability on the international stage.
Depends on who/what you mean.

As an ordinary person, solidarity is important. It may seem wishy washy, but history has shown many times that solidarity can matter. If we could replicate the same solidarity European cities saw in support of the George Floyd protests, it would put some wind behind Belarusian democrats.

In terms of government/official action... I think the priority should be to discourage Russian intervention with any diplomatic clout available. The UK and France are in the most important position, IMO. France primarily, as a member of the EU which borders Belarus.

Vladimir Putin recently wrote an article about the importance of the Security council. To put this in his own (kinda) words, Russian security intervention on behalf of Lukashenko is entirely not acceptable to three council members. In the interest of world peace, keep your troops inside your own borders.

That is not to say Russia should be treated as an enemy. They are a party, and their concerns need to be heard too.

Ideally, Russia and the EU (not NATO, imo) should negotiate a framework for peaceful transition.
Definitely a very risky time to be out in the wilderness, anywhere west of the Rocky Mountains. And that’s probably understating it.

It’s really something to see the entire west coast on fire right now. We live up in a forested valley in northwest Oregon, and got blanketed with smoke yesterday. Happened quickly and was the worst smoke I’ve experienced since the Camp Fire blew into Los Altos, CA, a while back. Our area of Oregon hit the top of the wildfire risk chart yesterday for the entire west coast, at “critical” — hot and dry with gusts of winds reaching 65MPH.

Happily woke up to relatively calm, clear-ish skies today.

We’ve spent a decent amount of money getting rid of brush, and trees, to create a “defensible zone” around the home. That’s one of the most impactful things that can be done to mitigate the risk — make sure flammable plants and trees are far from the house, use hardscaping (stone, gravel) around the foundation, and keep anything within 30-100’ well irrigated. Also, don’t allow leaves etc to gather under porches, gutters. Make sure vents are well screened.

The forest becomes more wilderness but we’ve been doing a bunch there as well: limbing trees up to reduce the risk of “ladder fires”, getting rid of brush, cleaning up old access trails in case a fire crew needs to come through.

Fires are pretty awesome events — experiencing them first-hand gives you a sense of scale that’s impossible to convey through pictures alone. The people in this story had quite an experience, and it’s fortunate how many people escaped that fire.

But fires are both natural, and increasing in destructiveness due to a combination of factors (including climate change). Definitely stay aware, and if you live in a wildfire zone, get moving on preparations and preventative measures.

This is the future, folks.

You'd be correct if this system was reducing CO2 to elemental carbon, but in fact it stores CO2 in the earth, not carbon (or hydrocarbon). So it's equivalent to burning fossil carbon, extracting the CO2 from the exhaust stream, and storing that waste underground. The enthalpy of combustion of the fossil fuel that went into the atmospheric CO2 doesn't need to be recovered for this process, it only needs enough energy to concentrate atmospheric CO2 and pump it below ground into geological storage.
