It’s CBPs job because consumers have no idea if the UL or Intertek logo is legit or not. Because those adapters aren’t listed they don’t have to follow the electrical and fire safety standards. So a purchaser may be tricked into buying something that is much more likely to burn their house down. Having CBP intercept it makes perfect sense.
At a macro level in that sense climate change is just increasing scarcity. Humans have been pretty good at dealing with issues of scarcity. There is no shortage of matter and energy in the universe, and we are very close to the knowledge needed to create enough energy for our needs through fusion.

Frankly, my belief is the only thing needed to parlay climate change into an accelerant for human progress as opposed to believing it's a hurdle to leap over is for us to see it that way, and use it as an excuse to build energy generation technologies 100x better than our current ones. The focus on renewables is depressing, and the memes around the solution to climate change to be "use less, consume less, focus on more clean energy" are equally so, since they creates a cynical belief there is a tradeoff between energy use and conservatism. We can have both.

Everything lasts forever, until it's over. Extinctions are the norm in Earth's history. There's no reason to think humans are the exception. The fact that humanity has yet to die off isn't much comfort. It's a sample size of 1 species, and by definition we wouldn't even be discussing this if the alternative happened.
FWIW, this article suggests the static software scheduling you are describing was introduced in Kepler, so it's probably at least not entirely new in Volta:

https://www.anandtech.com/show/5699/nvidia-geforce-gtx-680-r...

> NVIDIA has replaced Fermi’s complex scheduler with a far simpler scheduler that still uses scoreboarding and other methods for inter-warp scheduling, but moves the scheduling of instructions in a warp into NVIDIA’s compiler. In essence it’s a return to static scheduling

and I think this is describing more or less the same thing in Maxwell: https://github.com/NervanaSystems/maxas/wiki/Control-Codes
Being Emacs, it's just a matter of customization. In your example, it would probably be enough to apply advice to one of the Ivy functions to split the window appropriately when a candidate is selected. A few lines of code.
It's worth considering that:
* we have an N of 1 when it comes to understanding under what conditions life can appear
* when life first appeared on earth, conditions were such that almost no currently existing creatures could survive

that being said, it does seem more likely that this will result in some new chemistry or a better understanding of conditions on venus than anything else
My mother bought a Chromebook, and while she loved it for personal use the lack of good RDP support meant she couldn't use it to access her work computer from home and ultimately result in her giving it up in favour of my old laptop.

Here's a comment from a few years ago where I go over how do make a FORTH-like language starting from a simple basic RPN calculator in C [1] and then adding programmability (mostly implemented in the language itself with only a little bit of C support), and finishing with some ways you could optimize it to actually get decent performance.

This would be reasonable afternoon project (except for the optimization stuff).

None of the C code is complex or tricky or big. You could easily do it in assembly instead. That's why these kind of languages are great for a lot of embedded applications. You only need to write a small assembly core to support your language, plus assembly function to support your hardware, and then you can do everything else in your higher level FORTH-like language.

I lean very very heavily in the let people do dumb stuff if they want camp but it feels like they have just found a way to break the minds of a certain group of people. It feels to me like this would be a good case for regulation. On the other hand this already makes zero sense. How would you even legislate against it?

But at the same time there would still be review processes that could detect such apps. This is just assurance on Apples part they don’t have to babysit devices, not some huge benefit to the consumer. There is a consumer benefit but a small one.
I disagree that would be fair, and it certainly wouldn't achieve a good result.

If emissions are attributed the country where they are physically made, then it incentivizes rich countries to offshore all their manufacturing to poor countries - which is exactly what's happened here in the case of Britain.

If the choice is between poverty and low emissions, of course developing nations are going to have lax regulations.

>All those tests measure, given the youth and maturity of traditional high school students, is extreme preparation and not performance or potential.

The tests in essence measure either intelligence or work ethic. Work ethic is probably more important for college performance than anything else to be honest however you can do fairly well on the tests with intelligence alone. The point of college admission isn't really to predict your performance in life but rather to predict your performance in college. If you become a better person at 24 or 35 it doesn't really matter since you're long gone from college by then.

When it comes to online ads, if I get a very annoying ad or a pop up on stores website, I'm out and taking my money elsewhere. I also generally try to seek real world reviews but it is hard. So many youtube videos, bloggers and even comments are just paid advertisement, it sucks.

Can you imagine beginning Kindergarten as a 5 year old this year? At least many of these kids have grown up around more technology than I did, I'm not sure I had even seen a computer when I was 5. I didn't have one at my house until middle school. How are they supposed to navigate online classes when they can't even read?

The main benefit of school at that age is learning to interact appropriately with your peers and teachers. Hopefully the younger kids are more resilient and adaptive than I'm giving them credit for, because I can't imagine it being anything less than frustrating and depressing for them.
Speaking of Venera (the USSR missions to explore Venus), I wonder if researchers will go back to analyze data from those probes in light of these new findings. Fun fact: the Venera mission launched a weather balloon on Venus! -- the only time that has ever been done on another planet.

You're already taxed (potentially a lot) on fuel. Adding another tax that's harder to measure consumption for seems like a bad idea.
This wasn't mentioned anywhere in the article sadly
What a terrible comment for such a positive development. It completely ignores UK's massive efforts in switching away from coal-fired plants to other alternatives, such a huge undertaking. For reference: The current population in the UK is an estimated 66 million. The population in 1890 was 10 million. Therefore the current energy infrastructure supports 6x the population at the same carbon emissions rate. That's an amazing achievement and doesn't even take into consideration how much more electricity-dependent the average 2019 UKer is compared to the 1890 UKer.

So what if China produces goods in a dirty manner? How is this the UK's problem? This is a classic case of moving the goalposts. The UK has achieved carbon emission reductions without negatively impacting the standard of living, but of course that is not sufficient for the climate activists, is it, as it is the modern standard of living that they truly have an issue with.

Perhaps the climate activitists don't realize is that most of the population doesn't want to live "one with nature", and we are extremely loath to give up the creature comforts of modern urban living. Much of climate moralizing nowadays reminds me of the Temperance League at the turn of the century.
I should definitely check how that compares on some big files here.

The unspoken implication here, which I've always found to be an ethical nightmare, is that the intellectual and activist classes in America have quietly decided that poor families are incapable of raising their children properly, so the state should step in and do it "correctly".

It is perfectly acceptable in educated circles in the U.S. to state that kids from "disadvantaged families", should be taken out of their families' homes from 7 AM to 7 PM to get "additional enrichment opportunities", in other words, raised by the state.

It may well be that you could increase grades and test scores this way, but I have some serious issues with the degree to which we're comfortable separating children from their families, because we've decided that we know what's best for everyone.

Reminds me of how the American government made a big push in the second half of the 19th century to remove Native American children from their homes and send them to boarding schools to "civilize" them.
Well I guess you could argue they're baking Parallels into the OS such that non-native apps feel native. They did a pretty good job with Android ...as far as UX anyway. It can still be buggy but it's improving. Seems like once they do this work, it would be easier to support other things.
What China might be able to do is to invent artificial wombs (they are scientifically plausible and some work on them has already been done, but obvious ethical issues are acting as a brake on their development) and try to rear the resulting kids in some kind of communal schools. That would not probably work either, but it is possible. They have definitely tried worse things before in China.

China invested a lot in biotechnology and has few ethical concerns in this regard. This scenario might be within the realm of possibility for them.

If the surface were that hot, would sea creatures still want to live on it? I have no idea what their range of tolerance is, but I'd assume that they're well adapted for living on relatively cool rocks. And if it's not that hot, then it seems like there's not a cooling problem.

(To be clear, I'm speculating without any real knowledge of this subject, and welcome the inevitable corrections.)
This doesn't preclude there being competing app-stores on the platform, though. I'm glad Apple's is the way it is (overall). And if alternatives popped up I would probably mostly stick with the first-party one. But having an alternate channel means you can circumvent Apple's review process when they're being especially unreasonable, and the competition would probably force them to improve their own offering as well. Everybody wins (except maybe Apple).

Speaking as someone who came from a rather colorful childhood of abuse, I'm wondering what your personal past is? You're assuming so much about the lives that folks lead, and to me it speaks of a lack of empathy for the personal struggles each individual is enduring.

Stoicism will fix things in the west? I assume you mean the USA, but as a person in the USA, I have to say that we are about as stoic as you can get. We lean on personal responsibility for every little thing.

"Oh, you went bankrupt from cancer. Why didn't you plan for that? Don't you know around 50% of folks get that?"

"Oh, you went to college for a useless degree? Why didn't you have someone in your life teach you that was a mistake? Why didn't you reject the counselors in public schools who encouraged you down that path?"

"Oh, you eat too much sugar? Why didn't you reject the industry sponsored studies that downplayed their health effects?"

"Oh, you got covid? Why didn't you stay at home? What do you mean you're an essential worker? Why didn't you take care of your health so you weren't predisposed to it?"

It's not stoicism the west needs, but a dire injection of empathy and community.

Right, but (1) there's no evidence to support this, the whole point of offset certification is to prevent this sort of fraud and (2) there are lots of more effective carbon offset initiatives than planting trees, so of course we shouldn't expect to see massive new EasyJet forests.
