Here's an interesting case study about a plantation in a dry ski resort. It has more info, which is otherwise a bit hard to find: https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PL5MDcgMmY2CXV3x-v0KCjMd1...

Notice, that it's a playlist with a bunch of these case studies.

The device displayed in the video (the company makes a few different ones) didn't require watering at all, because it collects dew. It's also biodegradable, so there isn't a cleanup cost. They also provide physical protection for the sapplings, which can be important. It seems to add up to very high survival rate in tough environments.

Edit: here's a brochure explaining the technology: https://issuu.com/groasis/docs/brochure_eng_2

I'd like being politically illiterate, but morally and ethically educated.

If politics is manufactured outrage and pandering to the lowest common denominator, and ethics is the study of universal moral invariants, those core values that should always apply when making decisions... I'd say screw political engagement.

For something similar at the block level try:

nbdkit random 1G
nbd-client localhost /dev/nbd0

Any size can be used and there is a seed= parameter to get the same data between runs. You might need "modprobe nbd".

As in this article, we also use this for testing.

Can fire retardants be filtered by commercial off-the-shelf Air Filters?

If yes what type of tech or air filter type would filter these? For the sake of 'neutrality' would prefer a discussion focused on the working principle of the filter tech instead of just casual 'product naming'.
I’d think that the curvature of spacetime due to the ball’s mass wouldn’t affect the ball’s trajectory, for similar reasons as why the electric field from a charged particle doesn’t move the particle itself.

OS is certainly not definitive, although they are very good.

1) There is a disclaimer on OS maps that says so

2) The definitive map is held by local councils

3) A right of way can exist without registration, and is created through use. The medieval alley ways in my local town only recently became registered after hundreds of years of use. They were always rights of way and you could not have prevented their use.

4) There is a right to roam in Scotland and a limited right to some land in England and Wales under CROW Act.

Which tells me that the claim "They ended up building it for 150k, with 250k more to operate it until the end of next year." is complete bullshit as a comparison for the German numbers, because it is only for the app itself without any backend or supporting infrastructure. Especially because you made it sound as if the rest of the 6 Million budget was not even used.

In reality, on top of the app development they spend 400k on planning, specification and coordination, 3.2 Million on other software (backend and admin, I suppose), 1.4 Million for deployment(?) and communications, and further maintenance and operations is not in fact accounted for yet.

> hat's beginning to be half of the relevant population in a country of 6 million, when you take out kids and people in old folks' homes.

Ah, nice moving goalposts there.

Yes, it's a very successful project and everyone involved deserves praise. Yes, Finland spent less than Germany for very similar results.

But they didn't spend 400k (let alone 150k) compared to 60 Million. They spent 4 Million compared to 20 Million, which is the overall development costs in Germany, with most of the rest going to the operation of a support call center (and that scales with population size, so legitimately more than 10 times higher in Germany than in Finland).

So why the 5 times higher development costs in Germany? Because they didn't do a public bid like Finland did. They threw money at some big companies they assumed could do it. And for that they got an app 6 weeks earlier than Finland. It turns out that those 6 weeks happened to be a time of low case numbers so that they didn't really matter. But that couldn't be known at the time the whole thing was planned, and if the pandemic had developed differently, those 16 million could have saved thousands of lives.

I've slowly made the switch, and I quite like being able to see my wife on both the desktop and app versions of Google Maps.

I do wish it had messaging features, and geofencing alerts would be a huge bonus so I can be alerted when she arrives at a location safely. I also think there needs to be some Nest integrations so I can ask "Where is X?" or "How far is X" and it would say "X is currently 10 minutes away from your location".

I guess what they have is a good start, but I really hope they can push the tech further to make it even more useful than what it is at current.
> India has extremely poor electricity infrastructure

Not true in most tier 1,2 & 3 cities.

Somewhat true in rest of India.

However, lack of an existing electricity infra, in my book counts as an opportunity to establish micro-grids and smaller storage based grids powered off renewable energy, especially solar.
Again, this is falling into the trap of incomplete statistics.

“Given people discuss politics not at all, 40% make less than 30k per year.”

Quoting: “To clarify this, we recently added a provision to our GeForce-specific EULA to discourage potential misuse of our GeForce and Titan products in demanding, large-scale enterprise environments.”

According to this article, they want to discourage but I would expect legal retaliation if FileCoin proves to be profitable. There is one area where AWS never launched: gaming servers and I suspect this could be the reason.
That’s exactly my point though. From the link:

“Even if humans stop emitting greenhouse gases today, these gases would still be elevated by the year 12000.”

Creating a temporary carbon sink in the form of a desert forest helps in the short term, but is not negative carbon. It’s net carbon neutral.

Genuinely being “green” in this instance requires sequestration of the existing gas from the atmosphere.
Some comments: The seed should be an optional parameter (I see there's a comment in the code mentioning this). This is very important for CI testing where a bug only happens for specific file content and you need to reproduce the bug locally.

Why use a cryptographic hash? For nbdkit-random-plugin we use a fast PRNG (xoshiro256-starstar 1.0 as it happens, but the specific one is not important). I doubt a cryptographically secure hash is worth the extra computational cost to users.

Yeah, I always found the assumption that QM was more correct than GR to be a bit odd. One of the outcomes of the geometric approach to gravity is the total lack of anti-gravity: there is simply no such thing as an anti-geodesic. The lesson of quantum field theory to me was that observables are operators on fields and not simple scalars evolving in time. General relativity is quite similar in that respect.

The point is to get rid of the wastewater safe/cheap/efficient rather than grow the forest. Water consumption isn't the concern. They certainly wouldn't be doing drip irrigation with wastewater because wastewater would clog the equipment. Evaporation is expected and desired. Treated human waste is full of pharmaceuticals and phosphates from detergents. It should not be used to grow food unless it is feed for animals. Drainage is a concern on sandy soil. You wouldn't want these sites anywhere near your groundwater supply. You can't dump phosphates and nitrogen in your rivers because the result is algal blooms -> depleted oxygen -> fish kills and really toxic shit like Pfiesteria, which can give you headaches, cognitive problems, and nerve damage just from standing knee deep in the water.

Really, how well the forest grows is beside the point. They're doing this to dispose waste water. If they can make a tree crop to offset costs a bit, then great. The "climate change" angle is lipstick on the pig.
> Volume of plastic from Lego alone would eclipse everything Apple makes.

To be fair, Lego don't stop working. Lego made decades ago work just fine today and will continue to work a century later. It's not that making things out of plastic is a sin, it's building planned obsolescence into our plastic products which is wrong.

Not necessarily, it depends on what the money is meant for. A loan is still a loan, no matter whether interest is charged or not. It creates a liability which can have dire consequences if the conditions are not met. I only ever took out one loan, a partial mortgage for a house I bought in the Netherlands. I sold that house 6 years later for close to double the price, paid off the loan, bought a farm in Sweden cash in hand for the proceedings and never looked back. I never took out a study loan - living cheaply on a farm (I studied at an agricultural university) so I skipped that burden as well. No loan means no liability, clear and simple. I will not take out personal loans, instead I'll postpone the purchase until I can afford it out of hand.

That makes sense. You only really need to get on the ground and deliver food when the supply chain in an area isn't able to provide. When the supply chain is working, and you give away free food, you risk destabilizing that supply chain leading to more reliance on you. Instead, by providing money, you help feed the people and allow the supply chain to stay afloat and have people get paid.

A good example of how giving free items out can have unintended consequences https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jul/06/second-hand-cl...

I was not aware of that. But that's not contradictory with what I described. Tandy released a lot of business software; basically, its counterparts to the prepackaged turnkey systems for accounting/word processing/inventory that system integrators/VARs were by 1977 starting to assemble around CP/M S-100 systems. Tandy didn't mind third-party development as long as it was the publisher, and its stores only sold products with the Tandy Radio Shack logo somewhere.

As I mentioned, independent computer stores—the Byte Shops, the Computerlands—didn't bother to carry TRS-80 products, despite the huge customer base, because they understandably didn't think they could compete against Radio Shacks everywhere. Same with toy and department stores that after 1980 became the primary home-computer sales channel for Commodore and Atari. Since company-owned Radio Shacks couldn't carry anything without the Tandy logo, 80 Micro and other magazines became the only way for third-party developers who didn't or couldn't get approval for resale by Radio Shack to reach customers. And since corporate policy prevented Radio Shack clerks from admitting that third-party magazines or products existed (even while a Tandy executive wrote a regular column for 80 Micro, and the company regularly advertised in its pages), the only way a TRS-80 or Color Computer customer knew of this gigantic ecosystem's existence is if a friend told him, or he happened to walk by a newsstand with 80 Micro or Rainbow magazine.

Compare this to Apple. A very important factor in the II's early popularity was school districts buying it to run educational software from MECC like Oregon Trail and Lemonade Stand. But this was not inevitable. A teacher or administrator in a rural school district in 1979 looking to purchase computers would naturally look to the Radio Shack in town, but would only have found incredibly crude Tandy-published software. Even with such handicaps Radio Shack had a substantial portion of the educational market, which after 1980 quickly eroded until 1985, when Tandy had an unexpected second computer boom driven by the PC-compatible Tandy 1000.
I have been wishing for a regulation like this for years. This would be one of the biggest game changers ever, but it is hard to imagine how realistic such a scenario would be because technology moves so fast and facebook fucks up even the apis they are willing to provide all the time. But we need to try at least to tear down the walled gardens and digital despotism of google facebook and apple.
> Also worth highlighting is Tata Nano which was a innovation of its time with being the cheapest car manufactured in India

Lessons gained and practices established for supply chain management for Nano, must have reaped a lot of benefits for Tata.

On a side note, perhaps the Nano would have been more popular if it had been marketed as the "cuter second car" angle, rather than "cheapest car"
I agree with you - interlocking discs have been around 50+ years as toys, and the racquet game involving feathers is pretty much a basic badminton shuttle cock (older readers will remember they were originally made of feathers before plastic became common!).

Feels like this is where there’s some value in a physical retailer like Toys R Us as distribution. They wouldn’t stock both Brain Flakes and Picasso Tiles. Since Brain Flakes would have come to them first and with the right IP, they’d put them on the shelf. There’s some sort of in built filter with physical stores because it’d be awkward to show the exact same product under different brands, it may even reflect poorly on the retailer or store. Whereas on Amazon, brand value completely subsides and I’d assume the main competing factors are price and search rank.
They're honestly made for two quite different purposes.
Depends on your budget as are all things in India .

Many car makers also do full imports and CKD units for some their lines in India.

If safety is your primary concern I would recommend a fully imported Volvo, while they don't have the Honda, ford or Suzuki kind of service depth , most major cities do have one. Parts occasionally need to be imported. While it may cost a bit more money and time, there is no hassle of paperwork for you.

If reliability is the primary decision point, there are plenty of choices depending on how much city/Highway/rural you want to do, also depends on size, power etc

> It seems to me that I remember playing with a toy quite like theirs as a child many years ago. Basically cheap poker chips with cuts around the edge so they can connect.

The concept definitely isn't new. Back in the 1990s, in Poland we had such "chips with cuts around the edge" added to bags of chips. See e.g. [0] or just search for "Star Wars Tazo". These were themed and intended to be collectibles, but they had these tiny cuts into their sides and we absolutely did use them for small construction projects.

> India does not have a free market for gas stations

What do you mean? There are multiple suppliers and gas stations are owned by private entities.

> there is always a shortage and you will see huge lines to fill up gas

Been driving for over 15 years, all over the country. Never have I seen shortages as you mention.

>A large number of drivers live in slums which may not even have proper electricity so they can't charge it at home

The target market for Ev's, at-least for now, is the middle class office commuting people. As for drivers unable to charge their cars at home, they could park it in charging stations. Even now, drivers park their cars far away from their homes, as being slums, you don't have place to even drive the car near their homes.

> Most buildings are not designed to have electric chargers as we do not have a concept of "parking spot"

Almost all apartments constructed for past 10 - 15 years, and that is a lot mind you, have designated parking spaces for each and every apartment.
It is tad more complicated then that. It was not just being obnoxious, it had to do with politics and previous bloody dictatorships by his students.

It is interesting to see articles about how to protect your 6 years old product - being on the noble mission of training next generation of engineers - when you played with this kind of toy ca. 35 years ago.
Probably the fact that it was sold out in days of launch may - at least partially - be attributed to the fact that parents knew this kind of toy quite a bit already by heart...
...and of course due to the fact that this idea is well tested by time already.
