If you’re gonna do that, you need to measure the energy density of the uranium ore mined, not the purified product.

Then, you have to figure out where photons net out on the wh/kg chart.
People can edit comments here. It makes no sense to permit the commenter to whom you are responding to recontextualize your words by editing their post after a response is received.

Anyway, there is nothing in the site guidelines defining "the style here," as you call it. Are you the sole repository of the style here, or are there others?
Youtube has a licensing agreement with the RIAA. If they didn't, Youtube would be bankrupt, since statutory damages for copyright violations are $750/violation and there's no legal defense once they show the violation occurred.

(And as someone who has dealt with the music licensing agencies, you always just pay for the license. Paying the big 3 licensing agencies annually for millions of streams cost less than the statutory damages for a single violation.)
Nuclear is itself a counterexample. It didn't get cheaper as we built more.
Yeah.. call me grumpy but I'm not a fan of sending big objects in space easily detectable by aliens.
So because I was in an airplane crash and developed a fear of flying, which doesn't seem unreasonable, everyone who isn't afraid of flying is now a fool?

Nuclear is not free of risks, that goes without saying. But the risks in mining uranium, operating the plants, and storage or repurposing of the waste are still lower than a million people installing solar panels on rooftops. Accidents happen and we should minimize them. Trying to live zero risk by cutting out what bit you before rather than what bit a lot of other people does not make sense.

I'm not against solar, I'm not against nuclear. I'm for reducing the biggest sources of damage (coal, gas, cows, planes, etc.). We, densely populated Europe in particular, seem to be having a lot of trouble deploying land-consuming technologies like solar and wind at a rate that makes us likely not to trigger any runaway climate-affecting processes. I see nuclear as an option, on the expensive side but definitely not beyond what our western society can pay, that would make a big step ten years from the moment we commit to it (and cost-wise roughly on par with off-shore wind, cheaper or more expensive depending on who you ask, so cost is apparently not the problem in any country that deploys significant amounts of off-shore wind). I just can't decide whether there's still hope of rationality in this debate, especially being involved with brainwashed climate activists that somehow convinced themselves it's super dangerous (that's demonstrably untrue) and a few of them know details like that it's more expensive (but never know by how much (~2x according to UK and USA studies, I can lookup the links tomorrow (1:30am here)), nor can they explain how France doesn't have crazy energy prices (<2x compared to countries with nearly zero nuclear) with 70% of the power coming from nuclear, nor are they opposed to other solutions that would mean increasing the cost by as much if that gets us to CO2 neutrality)...
I think it will be big among the population of people who play video games (i.e. young people who aren't strapped for time and energy). As a relatively young adult (30s no kids), I can't imagine fitting anything like this into my day. Wake up at 6am, exercise, work for 8-10hours, eat dinner, then trace an area out on my floor and enter another world while my wife sits on the couch alone? I think the tech is cool, but can't practically fit into my life of real-world responsibilities.
Andy Kelley (of Zig) intimidated into vacating apartment for Hulu filming
Yes, it's amazing. He was using systems with Free bootloaders and bios etc. before Librem Purism was a thing at all, and has continually been on the bleeding edge of privacy and freedom.

The problem is, of course, that he's socially Quite Something, and that makes people have a natural level of disbelief that is the polar opposite of, say, the effect that a good cult leader, con man, grifter, or salesman has in terms of convincing people. He has like a -10 to Charisma, except he's actually really engaging and interesting, like a street preacher with 150 IQ.

The change he has affected in the world is phenomenal. It will continue to be a thing long after he's gone. Would be that people would walk around with his bearded visage on their shirts instead of Che and Marx.
> It's interesting to see how this is not a popular opinion to express here.

I've noticed that random comments which go against the shibboleths of the -- for lack of a better term -- 'orange man good' narrative can be subject to strange downvoting behavior.

Some of the posts that get hit by this, such as yours, are so innocuous that I'm not convinced that the targeting is organic as opposed the effects of some strongly opinionated s---head with a botnet and nothing better to do with his time.
Opt-Out Tool for Ads

You can without too much work build a Python DSL which makes stuff like executing those oneliners as easy as x("cp", "foo", "bar"). And then you never have to worry about quoting command arguments again.

As mentioned in the notice, the RIAA is specifically claiming youtube-dl's deobfuscation of youtube's request signatures is what's infringing, which a german court ruled to be an effective technological protection measure.
So... it's not zero emissions then. Or at least that's what parent was saying.
Restaurants have been doing this for forever, I think.
What's broken besides being able to install unapproved add-ons? The new redesign made it usable on my old phone, the old Firefox mobile was too slow for it and would frequently run out of memory. And the new UI with tabs on bottom made it usable on my new phone that has a big screen.
> Nuclear power is a zero emissions source of power

Is more a mushroom shape than a zero shape.
It saddens me that this doesn't surprise me anymore. Big tech is so ridden with secrets and trying to hide them, specially when they have to do with politics seems a little less than what democracy is meant to be.
What should the number have been, then? The final results were essentially a tie with Trump winning the tie breaking coin toss. So 50/50 is right in hind sight. Te systemic error could just have been as easily in Clinton's favour as Trump's, so the number should have been smaller than 50% for Trump. Maybe not as small as 28%, but they weren't far off, IMO.
Every single search I run has ads. I’m not sure how Google can run more.

But what I’m saying is that if there’s only a single ad and they are paying $3 because google set that limit, they could lower that to what the market will bear and start at .05 or something.

If they are worried about ad space they can limit to 1-2 ads and let people bid on them. They already do this as there’s not an infinite scroll of ads, they only show 1-3 and then more on the next page. Setting floors on ads doesn’t reduce the number of ads I see, it just makes more money for Google.

This is only possible as they are a monopoly.

Old Laptops as Secondary Monitors
My guess at the phenomena going on:

The visibility of of technologically illiterate people is higher than ever. The number of people who are technologically literate is also higher than ever. The proportion of people in digital spaces who are technologically illiterate is higher than it was in the past. More people in the digitally connected world has decreased the average literacy level of that digitally connected world. But the absolute number of technologically literate people as well as the proportion of the overall population who are technologically literate has certainly increased.

Is that consistent with your observations & experience?

Does YouTube embed any copyright metadata on the videos? An improved product could check for that first and prompt the user with a legal confirmation that they have the right to download the content if it was marked as copyrighted.
Even the NuScale SMR reactors only produce the core in a factory setting. They still need a large bespoke building and containment vessel.
I understand that as well. I am saying it is possible to imagine a scenario in which someone looks at Youtube-dl as something other than a totally harmless aid to users.

Youtube has legitimate reasons to try and prevent people from downloading content from their site. Youtube-dl is clearly there to enable people to do that. Rightsholders can use this as another argument that Youtube-dl violates (or is designed to violate) the DMCA.

I'm not defending the RIAA or DMCA here but I can understand their argument and why they are making it.
Yeah, essentially.
The tutorial is in the process of being updated, which is mostly the addition of that side of things; how to attach the generation capacity.
I made it as is because that's the extent, the physical turbine itself, which can be fairly standardised. Everything after that, ie what to plug it into and how, will largely depend on each individual implementation, and so is more of a conversation than a step by step, and so hence the FB forum group.

But like the next version will have more info on next steps.
low effort drive-by puns are looked down on here on this particular forum, sure.

Stuff like this is why I consider it unethical to pay for recorded music, unless distributed directly by the artist. Haven't bought music from a major distributor since I was a teenager.

I don't want my money funding this sort of overreaching censorship.
You can't expect a manual pentest for €35 or anything near that ballpark.

A proper pentest includes manual labour (such as the mentioned examples). It also includes a lot of documentation in the report. For example, recon data. They could also include we checked X for Y but did not found any issues. Nothing is 100% secure, and if you don't find anything after extensive manual testing it is, well, going to be a boring report, because you still have to document everything. It also feels like a failure (which is why the honeypot was a little bit mean, though clever as well given goal of post).

CEH is a joke btw. No serious pentester puts that on their resume. Its a waste of time to get thst certificate. OSCP is the gold standard.

In short, you pay peanuts you get monkeys and CEH is a red flag. OSCP is a green flag.
Seems like a boot strapping problem to me. If we create enough solar/wind energy then we can devote some of that energy back to production of materials used to produce solar panels.
No, this is not Chrysler thing. Mercedes and its famous german engineering is a feel good myth. One of their biggest fuckups happened in 1991 when they used bio degradable plastic wire insulation. All 91-96 cars defective: http://www.mercedesdefects.com/2008/04/wire-harness-defect.h...
> These are things the US is not willing to do

US government does not need to do this explicitly.

US culture outreach is effective and efficient. Prior to 2008 financial crisis, Chinese common wisdom places US superior to Chinese in every aspects. You can put Xi in that period, and see how ineffective his ambition can be implemented.

It was only after US culture outreaches have been intoxicated by self-righteousness and a chronicle ineffectiveness, think about the Arab Spring and the 2016 election debacle, and the TikTok deal, and the disastrous Covid response.

Government directed culture assimilation is always the least effective. That's used only when the civilian system is weak. In Mao's era, they dont need this, the civilian system is so effective in assimilating proactively across the whole nation. Think about the havoc by Mao. Mao can do that, because the society is utterly centered around his ideology. Precisely that the time, it was the government that is ineffective in counteract the population's attachment to a demi-god.

They can argue that downloading a publically available video for testing purposes is perfectly legal, because it is.
I understand the importance of accessibility (obviously) but I've see that there is a whole community whose first response to anything new is "what about..." as if its unthinkable that you would build a V0 without considering every possible special interest. I think everyone if pulled up by progress, and building something new, even if it doesnt work for everyone out of the gate is still a step in the right direction that will eventually lift everyone up. So don't worry about the "what about..." people, they want to bring everybody down
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hunt_for_Red_October_(film...

The film caused a minor sensation in the black projects submarine warfare technology community.[13][14] In one scene, where USS Dallas is chasing Red October through the submarine canyon, the crew can be heard calling out that they have various "milligal anomalies". This essentially revealed the use of gravimetry as a method of silent navigation in US submarines. Thought to be a billion dollar black project, the development of a full-tensor gravity gradiometer by Bell Aerospace was a classified technology at the time. It was thought to be deployed on only a few Ohio-class submarines after it was first developed in 1973.
Intention is a component of the law. Youtube-dlc apparently intended to assist in infringing the copyright.

We're still fighting over the color of bits. It's all a bit technically bozo, but, sigh.

Tts very possible that the song IS a half-step off as much modern rock (not so sure about pop) music is deliberately tuned a half-step down in order to either...

1. help the singer hit "higher notes".

2. sound "heavier" and just that "bit off" that half-step down tuning gives.

In conjunction with "drop-D" tuning (pulling the low E-string down a full step in order to give a "deeper", more heavy tonality), this gives much of modern "heavy rock" heavier feel.

My first encounter with half-step down tuning was, I believe, Motley Crue's Too Fast For Love album, where I beleive Mick Mars used both tunings in order to use a beer bottle for full chord slides (dropping the low-E allows barre chords, the staple of rock music, to be played using just one finger or, in Mick's case, one beer bottle) and that exceptionally low "drop-C#" (remember, we dropped the low-E down a step and a half to C#) drone growl that gave that album an exceptionally hard feel.

Could not disagree more.

Pure information is harmless, beliefs are not. Crazy beliefs emerge from the lack of critical thinking, not from the "dangerous information".

Therefore censorship is only good as part of "divide and conquer" strategy.
By today's standards, old tools are poorly designed. At least, most of them. The one's that have stood the test of time aren't the bad ones.

Those old tools still worked, just not as well as modern versions.

Right, and again, I'm not saying Youtube has any copyright ownership here. I'm saying they provide a service which adds value and as a business they may want to protect that competitive advantage.
I am confused. The complaint seems to be that copyright infringement is happening with the downloading from YouTube, but I thought it happened with the uploading to YouTube. Could you clear that up?
Han Chinese were so mixed that it should be considered a cultural group, not western sense "race".

But people probably were so indulged in mainstream media's reporting that, this hardly register to anyone as significant.
Nuclear is really good at producing consistent power. Unfortunately, that's not what we want. Peak demand for power in the evening is several times what it is during the middle of the night.
[Edit: I'm not completely sure how section 1201 interfaces with the fair use rules, but at the very least, a quick glance at the statute (as well as awareness of the First Amendment constitutional underpinnings of fair use) makes me believe the interaction does not entirely eliminate fair use in a context where section 1201 applies. It's clearly complicated.]

The law makes it clear downloading copyright material without holding copyright or a suitable license is usually not legal, but exceptions exist in many countries including the US (where the exception is called fair use).

Some uses of youtube-dl with RIAA-member-copyrighted content very probably fall under that fair use exception, even if other common uses do not. For example, if a music critic wants to use youtube-dl to import a music video into video editing software to produce a review of it, interspersing only a small excerpt of the original video with commentary on it, that's classic fair use and would be an easy win in US court if accused of copyright infringement.

If the actual and as-marketed purpose of covering those copyrighted videos by 3 of 94 unit tests is to make sure that such noninfringing fair uses of youtube-dl are possible with the technologies involved in those videos, I expect that the DMCA claim is invalid. If the actual or as-marketed purpose is to ensure that it's possible to infringe those videos, then the DMCA claim is valid.

That's a question of fact for a judge (in a bench trial) or a jury (in a jury trial). If the more favorable answer is true and credibly defensible in court, youtube-dl might be able to survive a motion for summary judgment, gain support in the court of public opinion, and lead the RIAA to consider settling or dropping the claim.

But if they were indeed trying to facilitating illegal circumvention or infringement, or if they can't credibly prove otherwise in court, yeah this won't end well for their ability to host youtube-dl in the many countries that now have a DMCA-like law.

(Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer, just a former law student layman who remains a legal geek interested in and relatively informed in these areas. But I don't claim to be authoritative and this is definitely not legal advice. youtube-dl should definitely involve a suitably expert and qualified lawyer if they're going to fight this.)
The way I see it, the concept of externalities is a way of systematically dismissing things as "relatively unimportant." The model is perfect, and describes a productive system beautifully, and anything unexpected that results from it is an "externality." Almost like a bug becoming a "feature" to someone who is unwilling to address the problems of a system they've constructed.

But that's what you get when your entire economy is based off of endless growth and profited market relations. I'm not an advocate of central planning for replacing markets, but definitely an advocate for production being about meeting needs instead of generating surplus value for private owners.

I agree with you about biological health being an environmental concern, by the way. But I'm willing to bet you and me might see things a bit differently from the regular crowd here. When most people think of the environment, they think of oceans, trees, rivers, air, etc.
Anything is possible at zombocom.
Yeah, I sort of stopped there as well. Next up, "If we could reduce the mass of construction materials of spacecraft 4 or 5 orders of magnitude without compromising their other physical properties such as strength, toughness, and hardness, we could build single stage to orbit vehicles with off the shelf technology!"

And is usually $20-30 all up including the alternator.

The chain drive concept is indeed no longer what I'm using. It kinda worked, but not as well as I would have liked so now it's either a automotive alternator belt or direct drive to a Smartdrive unit or equivalent.
My take is we never built a lot.

The industry died from bad PR before it got to mature much.
It's pervasive in the French political elite.

They even wrote books praising the practice in the 1970s, before people started freaking out and they had to walk it back.

A former minister of education (and a philosophy professor, so not some random quack) said in a TV interview that a senior French politician was arrested in Morocco while having sex with children, except of course he could not name the actual culprit for legal reasons.

Strategically / tactically, the most interesting aspect of the RIAA attack on youtube-dl to me is that it puts Microsoft on the spot to show its true colours. Is it Friend of Free Software, or Copyright Maximalist?
Right, but the cheap ones are almost guaranteed to be bad.
This is not analogous to Napster. Napster is a protocol. youtube-dl is an HTTP client that the RIAA just happens to dislike.

He has some loose comparisons. Adults acquire foreign languages including foreign sounds. English is a separate entity in my mind, neutral position of the jaw, tongue system is entirely different from my native language.

Different cultures has different color naming schemes. I have hardware problems on color perception (protanomaly) yet I can learn new color names. Looking at children it takes years to learn color names.

His example of learning — pressing keys on the piano and saying name — is incorrect. It should be game, music is game. We live in the age of unprecedented gamification. Maybe it is possible to make baby steps. Some people claim they've internalized F#, ok internalize every note.

He is right that recognition should be instantaneous. His real argument — teaching has not been achieved as course, probably it is impossible, I'll try.
[outdated] You might be misinterpreting that report slightly - it estimates that all renewables -- with the exception of utility-scale solar -- currently emit fewer lifetime emissions than nuclear.

Digging into why utility-scale solar is currently an exception, one potentially relevant factor is that utility-scale solar is working through some regulatory and infrastructure obstacles[1] as it scales up.

[outdated] That said, I couldn't see any indication that manufacturing solar panels themselves is an issue. If residential solar has lower lifecycle emissions, then I wonder why the panel manufacturing would be a problem. Do you have any more information on that?

TLDR: Gravitational redshift was detected by Chandra from a close orbiting star and neutron star system. The x-ray emissions were frequency shifted more than the relative motion would account for, so the shift was attributed to gravitational effects.
