The issue is infrastructure. Modern engines run fine on unleaded fuel, but the little airstrips in the middle of nowhere all have 100LL and/or jet fuel, so that's what pilots use.

I know a few pilots who are prefer to use unleaded in their Rotax engines to prevent spark plug fouling, and they have to jump through some pretty ridiculous hoops to get gas, while their buddies just fill up with whatever is on the field.
There could be other factors involved, but it takes longer for fr.wikipedia.org to load on my computer than en.wikipedia.org. I hope Wikipedia will remain usable on old and slow devices.
Voter polling on the importance of climate change may have shifted recently.
That's not that bad right? 15 gallons of gas could be 43 kg, and the gasoline fuel tank has some weight too.

Although, after google search, I see that the Mirai weight is 4075 lb, and the Prius weighs around 3100 lb.

Comcast didn't configure xfinitywifi the same way everywhere in Comcast country? Then what's the point of having one big internet service provider if it doesn't provide homogeneity as a service?

There's nothing to monetize here. I think censorship circumvention services like for example Psiphon should try harder than just hoping ports 53 are open. But Comcast country is part of the allegedly uncensored first world where there's no market for censorship circumvention.
Likewise, I've read that his addiction was so great that he used to just eat coffee grounds in the morning while waiting for the first brew to finish.
That is interesting. I do remember the water monster. That was a great segment. Probably the best part of the game. Sounds like a good framework, but that's pretty darn tough to execute.

Letting the world end in Majora's Mask comes to mind for me. As a kid I was terrified of the ever present timer and never let it hit 0, even once. There's probably something about agency there. I wouldn't ever choose to let the monster get me in Amnesia, but when I did it was because I misjudged something and got myself into an unwinnable situation. If you're going for the strategy they're describing, I think you need to reduce the tree of possible mistakes that leads the player without them realizing they're taking a risk...

Phobos should have plenty of carbon too, and it's not really far from it. IIRC, it's close enough that with our current tech, we could build a "space elevator" there, that drags in martian atmosphere.
Your power grid runs on networked software. The key is redundancy.
An analogy I keep coming back to is a kid putting his hand in a stream to divert the flow, then being surprised when the water continues doing the same thing but in a more complicated way, due to the topography of the landscape.
>How can a vehicle be "zero emission" anyway, unless the entire production and supply chain is also zero emission.

Yeah, its almost like this is one step in a long, complicated process of getting the world off of fossil fuels, or something?
Sure doesn’t seem aggressive enough, yet it’s the most aggressive stance on gas transportation to date, that I’m aware of.
Though that’s a rather technical term for carbon fiber that I suspect nobody uses when speaking or even writing to each other in a less formal
context.

I’ve heard it being called just “Carbon”, pronounced with a long “o”, frequently. Since the translation for the generic element, carbon, is “Kohlenstoff”, and that word is very commonly used, the opportunities for confusion between carbon and carbon fiber is less than it might seem.
Increasing font size is magnification of the entire column, so you sacrifice the vertical space along with it. Line height can't go lower after a specific point - Arial for example, with font size of 12 points needs to have enough line-height of 16 points.

Again, increasing the font size is not the solution.

The second point about padding the sides with whitespace causes waste of screen real-estate for no reason other than to give comfortable width to read. This is what NYtimes articles do: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/21/business/goldman-sachs-fo...

So left and right sides are unnecessarily wasted. The solution I am proposing is to use multiple columns. At desktop size, you get 3 columns. At tablet size, 2. On the phones, its single column. There might be better solutions to this but I can't think of any. Columns are how Magazines do their layout of text. It is also part of the international style in graphics design.

Counter point: Magazines had to use columns to conserve space and page count. Each page adds cost. In digital media, we don't have such limits. The only down side is the user has to scroll a lot. But we have devised a scroll wheel and most users have this tool.

My father-in-law died of Lewy body dementia (famously the thing that Robin Williams had). One interesting (read: horrifying) aspect of DLB is that anesthesia can cause an immediate and permanent degradation in cognitive function for people that have it.

Before my father-in-law was diagnosed, he had had a couple of unrelated surgical procedures. Each time, he came out of anesthesia a changed man. We had no idea what was going on at the time, but the difference before and after was striking. He came out short-tempered, easily confused, and less mentally present.

Only years later did we realize it was probably because of the DLB. I don't know your age or if it is at all likely similar for you, but it's something to be aware of.

There's other areas that discuss a ban of E2E encryption.

Specifically this:

>>One important way to confront the grave and worsening problem of illicit and unlawful material on the internet is to ensure that providers do not design or operate their systems in any manner that results in an inability to identify or access most (if not all) unlawful content. Such designs and operation put our society at risk by: (1) severely eroding a company’s ability to detect and respond to illegal content and activity; (2) preventing or seriously inhibiting the timely identification of offenders, as well as the identification and rescue of victims; (3) impeding law enforcement’s ability to investigate and prosecute serious crimes; (4) and depriving victims of the evidence necessary to bring private civil cases directly against perpetrators.
I guess we shouldn't do anything at all, as long as there's a pedantic way to dismiss the idea.

Yes. It would be transformative in ways both readily imagined and yet to be imagined.

It isn't entirely sunshine and rainbows, as one must take care to remain below the material's critical field for it to remain superconducting, but beyond that, much of what a thoughtful freshman-physics student might dream up is likely to be possible.

Such a discovery would revolutionize a lot more than power-transmission. One of the first places it would have impact is in MRI, where magnet-cooling is a major expense. The ripple effects of such a discovery would be very fast, just as high-Tc was in 1986/1987. Even if the material is a strange one, everyone would race to find a way to use it.

Edit: First applications might probably appear in situations that can use small quantities of the material -- building great filters in circuits/ICs would require minimal material-handling R&D.

And while I'm not exactly sure which "right defend yourself + your property" you're referring to, I'd wager you're talking about the right to extrajudicially murder people who you feel threatened by, or the right to own tools intended to assist in that murder, neither of which are "human rights" if you're honest about what you're discussing. Even in the US, the right to bear arms is a constitutional one, not a human one.

What does people's support for a proposition that denies rights to homosexual people do to make it less discriminatory? What if it's worse? "You're not being discriminated against, because 80% of the population are in support of you being discriminated against". This makes no sense.

Using pointer-sized sizes for in-memory collections and slices is no mistake, and every single Rust API involving file offsets or sizes in the Rust stdlib that I'm aware of uses u64 or i64, not pointer sized stuff. Perhaps you didn't mean to imply otherwise, but you do.

That iterators and ranges have this 1% edge case where you'll need to roll your own trait if you want "(0u64..1).len()" to compile because ExactSizedIterator was designed for the 99% case of in-memory collections, could be argued as a design mistake - or could be argued as a reasonable avoidance of overcomplication in std in favor of allowing the end users who encounter that edge case to solve the problem how they please, if it is indeed a problem for them.

trait Len64 {
fn len(&self) -> u64;
}
impl Len64 for std::ops::Range<u64> {
fn len(&self) -> u64 { self.end - self.start }
}
fn main() {
println!("{}", (0u32..!0).len());
println!("{}", (0u64..!0).len());

Meanwhile, I'm still inheriting C/C++ codebases using APIs that know they're dealing with files and still use pointer-sized integers. In their defense, the system APIs they use often predate widespread 64-bit integer support in 32-bit C compilers (I'm looking at you, fseek/ftell). Less in their defense, the wrappers around said system APIs often postdate the very same, and postdate a slew of alternative APIs that don't even need 64-bit integer support.
I'm wondering how they will replace all the gas/diesel 4WD vehicles used by ranchers and vineyard managers here in Sonoma / Napa CA. The wine / grape industry is $1.5B+ for sonoma county alone - Napa is at least that or more.

I like the idea, but there's a lot of questions that need to be answered.

The term "zero-emissions" is borderline BS when the energy is coming from a source that emits pollution way off in the distance. If I remember correctly, California has been closing more nuclear power plants than it has been opening, so it while it's nice that our cars won't be putting out smog someday, we aren't going to take climate change seriously unless we move to nuclear.

To extend off that question, I've yet to hear an explanation as to how well the grid will tolerate millions of cars being plugged in all the time. During the summer California struggles to keep the lights on, so I'm wondering whether we will be investing in electrical infrastructure this time. Nuclear can help solve that. Same with natural gas to electricity conversion(like what Bloom Energy does).
Yes it is, of course ushered in by the party of “personal liberties” and “individual freedom.”
15 years away.

Surely you could require new vehicles to be zero-emission sooner than that?
A huge caveat regarding the comment that said general browsing is ok

Browsing with JavaScript disabled (not just for some sites via the use of No-Script etc) is considered generally safe if browsing hidden services (ignoring traffic correlation attacks, adversary knocking nodes off line to increase the chances that your Tor circuit will use a guard and a relay node that they own and other tricks).

Browsing the clear web however is a rather different matter. Because exit nodes are a mixture of honeypots, servers run by kind hearted volunteers, servers run by three letter agencies and corporately sponsored servers, “Exit traffic” to the web should be considered at a 'roll the dice' level of probability.

Consider the example of person XYZ who is under an active investigation or there is a need for parallel construction. At (timestamp), Person XYZ activated a new Tor connection. This sort of info can be gotten from logs obtained from either your ISP or from any data centre or any point the connection that exited your building and connected to the guard node. Ok, so what, right? Agreed. However when correlated with Person XYZ also logged in to (or Googled ‘bad stuff keyword’, went to visit a site and was using a DNS server that logs queries, logged in to social media, sent an email, connected to IRC etc, etc) at (timestamp) then the ‘so what’ rapidly risks becoming rather more than a face-palm level of problem.

Let’s take a look at a real life example of someone that emailed a fake bomb threat at a US University https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2013/12/20/use-of-tor-point... Spoiler alert, the fact that it made the news sort of tells you already that it didn’t end well for him.

Bear in mind that as soon as you turn off JavaScript then you begin to stand out from the crowd (the Tor FAQ has a whole section on browser fingerprinting)

If you have a Wikipedia account, you can go to Preferences > Appearance[0], and choose a different skin. AFAICT "Monobook" and "modern" have unlimited content width.

If you don't then you can append ?useskin=modern to each article URL. (You can do it automatically with a redirect extension.)

Alternatively you can inject the following CSS (e.g. with Stylus):

.mw-content-container {
max-width: none !important;
}

(The specific CSS selector might change with time.)

Hiding your true intentions and then showing your 15 year plan after you get elected is not in the spirit of representative democracies. Here in Sweden we discuss these things before elections and in general have more climate measures than California, so I don't see why a politician would need to be this heavy handed.
diesel-powered cars seems like an obvious loophole.
Edit: I see it says "the California Air Resources Board will develop regulations to mandate that 100 percent of in-state sales of new passenger cars and trucks are zero-emission by 2035"
So its phasing out non-zero-emission cars/trucks.

I find raising kids to be this constant low-grade form of grief. They change so fast that I am always noting the passing of the little person they used to be, replaced by the similar but slightly different person they are now. I've grieved the passing of their infancy, toddler years, and now most of their early childhood.

Sometimes I ache with the desire to go back and time to visit those past selves, to cradle them as babies or hear their goofy mispronunciations one more time.

I cannot fathom the pain of having to experience all of that grieving in fast forward, every day.
And the problem here is that it is inseparable from the political issue.

The core is 4a, replace vague terminology. The point is to end 230 unless social media is compelled to reproduce right wing content. Nothing else. The other stuff about illegal material doesn't really matter.

Why this? Because this is all right wing media talks about with respect to 230. They want social media punished for removing their material. They publish their vicious lies which are removed by the website. Then they loudly proclaim the constitution is the reason.

So we can see through the politics. The rest of the proposed bill is fluff. The part that matters is the compelled speech.

So we have this: "Publish our lies or you are liable for all other user content that might be illegal."

I think the bigger risk is that California fails to fix the most pressing issues (mainly housing). Lots of people are leaving the state and lots of people can't afford to live where they work, which causes all sorts of problems, like forcing people to drive long distances and pushing people to build in fire zones.

In the context of the issues facing people, climate regulations just aren't top of mind, excepting the tea party folks.

I fully support the governor in general, but this feels like a band-aid on poor fundamentals. In the case of housing, the state is incompetent and _under_ controlling. I also tend to think the state is _under_ controlling when it is hard to breathe because the air is dirty, something that's happened to me regularly since I've moved here.
