You could end up in this situation without malice. Obviously, you need to meet regulations, so the conditions they outline is what you optimize for. I suppose you have to go out of your way to consider the bigger picture.
If you took the BOM cost of the ICE components in a hybrid car, and spent it on the electric drivetrain, you would end up with a very poor performing EV (at least, the range would be abysmal).

Huh, really? I find it much harder to reason about what 30% blue, 20% green, 90% red makes than about what 30% saturated, 20% bright green makes.
Could it possibly be the well educated populous that drives with sense and caution? Just asking, as in the states we have people going 50mph (80.4kmh) on residential streets in front of parks full of kids, people running, etc.

I live near a park. The speed limit is 25mph. I have been driving down that street at 29mph, and had people _pass_ my car, blowing the horn and yelling (on a completely residential two lane) like I was standing still. This is a common, everyday occurrence.

How do they even know it was "a lonely nerd"? In fact, it's much more likely that it was carried out by a well-socialized team of shady professionals, on a commission from competitors.

It's 2020, people, can we drop it with the "Hack3rs" stereotypes...?

Yes, I run integration and unit tests on Windows, Linux and MacOS as part of the CI for Spectre.Console, so everything should be fully functional cross platform. The only thing required is a platform that supports C# and (optionally) a terminal that support ANSI escape sequences.
I have a couple of Yeelights, ie their RGBW-led light in common E27 socket. Very nice, you can "unlock" developer mode so you can control it over the local network. Super nice. Scripted up a simple thing running on a Raspberry pi + telegram bot for simple commands like "movie", "night" etc without needing to switch apps or be on wifi.

Then my daughter said that it was so cool when it blinked in all colors and I realized she had flipped it on/off till it factory reset itself.

Now I can't commission them. At all. Both apps provided by Yeelight fail with timeouts, neither server works (you have to pick one, eg china, germany), and none of the troubleshooting steps help. Changing DNS server, wifi hotspot, etc etc. None works. They even have a bug where if your account number is large enough, it will fail since it can fit in the apparently int32_t they seem to store it in.

They are cheap, but I'm beyond frustrated that I can't get them online again. The light was nice and bright, but the sw quality is apparently not on par.

From the 2nd article:

Before proceeding, we should be clear about what we are not saying. First, we are not denying that research into the genetics of human differences has been misused for appalling purposes at various points over the last two centuries. Second, we are not denying that some of the scientists who have undertaken such research were motivated by racial animus or by a desire to subjugate other people. Hence we understand the temptation to assume the worst about anyone who might be willing to entertain what we have called ‘hereditarian claims.’ Nonetheless, equating hereditarian claims with racism is a fallacy, and one that we believe is likely to end up doing more harm than good.

The thesis is basically "yes, humans do in fact differ physiologically, in groups corresponding to geography, and no it is not inherently racist to assert this."

Pretty sure this was the issue giving me trouble on a ROS application for remote sensing. I have hardware trigger signal, a bank of cameras, and a gps/ins unit which emits an exact time/space stamp, all off the trigger. It is a very ROS-esque app, with camera and gps "drivers" which parse the data into ROS messages which are published. Occasionally, the tiny gps packet gets delayed way longer than the image buffering, which throws everything out of whack.

Then I discovered the TCP_NODELAY flag, which made this occurence go from 1/100 to 1/+10,000. Had to do some digging to understand "why would anyone want to delay packets ever?" the answer of course being naive code writing one byte at a time to sockets.

>In the IEA's "Clean Technology Scenario", more than 28 GtCO2 could be captured from industrial facilities between now and 2060.

We emit about 35-40 GtCO2 per year. So in 40 years, we might expect carbon capture to remove less than one year of emissions.

Not useless, but close, considering the investment which could be used instead to more rapidly reduce emissions by installing/improving solar, wind, geothermal, etc.

I am not sure this was always the case with CS:GO.

I know there are servers now that have those type of modes, but I think they have to use some custom server parameters for the physics to make it work more like it used to do.

I remember when I first tried CS:GO coming from 1.6 when it came out, there were no HNS servers as the default physics model really didn't allow for bhops and longjumps the way it used to work. Or maybe, even if somehow it still allowed for those things, the mechanical difference was too big so it didn't feel the same.

In the end I "just" played like 1000 hours in CS:GO and quit the game as there was no real HNS replacement as it used to be. I still played the normal mode for 1k hours as there were a few very nice 24vs24 servers were everyone was using microphone and try-harding.
The library can also detect whether or not ANSI escape sequences are available in the terminal and fallback to something else. It can also downgrade colors depending on the color bitness support of the terminal.
When I see beautiful old buildings neglected like this, it's heartbreaking to me. The only reason nobody lives there and makes a storied life of it that enriches the life of the city is because of some quirk of bureaucracy. The converse is when someone does inhabit something like this, it's criticized as a "sweetheart deal" with the implication if not the outright accusation of corruption. In Toronto, we have an island downtown with homes on 100y leases that cannot be re-sold at market rates, but also cannot be willed to heirs, and that has a pretty transparent waiting list system, which still gets periodic criticism as corrupt.

These library apartments could be revitalized to operate on a similar scheme, even though there would be huge risk of them going to the politically connected and patronage. Political classes tend not to understand that it is these exceptions that produce the stories that provide the character that makes cities desirable, and not their rules.

I lived in a historical apartment building for several years, and it has occupied a psychogeographical landmark in the culture of the city for generations, appearing in various novels and with a cast of storied occupants. They were too large and expensive and a bit out of the way for fashionable rentals, so the people there always had a reason to be oddly both transient and yet still maintaining the refinement they were used to. Society divorcees and scandalized people in transition, politicians from remote ridings, elderly widows, downwardly mobile sons of establishment families, mistresses, professional artists and musicians who needed to be in the city but could never raise enough for a down payment - these characters and archetypes form the mythology of cities, and buildings like those library apartments and other historical buildings contribute to it. The promise of hidden beauty and riches and the ability to find it is the essence of the appeal of a city. I hope they find a way to open them up again.

Co-mingling inventory resulting in plausibly deniable (from the counterfeiters perceptive) for counterfeit merchandise is an Amazon specific (as far as I know) problem.

Walmart, Ebay and damn near every other ecommerce platform have things set up in a way that it's clear who's goods wound up on who's doorstep and therefore counterfeit stuff isn't very much of a problem. You can absolutely buy terrible Chinese knockoff products engineered to within an inch of their life (I do it all the time) but it's vanishingly rare (compared to Amazon) to get a genuine "I paid for X and got inferior knockoff Y" situation on any other eCommerce platform.
I do, the market cap is 350 billion. It’s a network effect, similar to Facebook, google, and amazon.
Surely the people of Africa or Bangladesh are not so stupid as to not learn lessons from the US. We have better technology now, so they will use that in a lot of cases.

Don't get me wrong, there are cases where the old way is better because it is cheaper and so they will use that. However they won't use gas cars since we are developing battery cars, solar panels, and the like. Within a few years electric cars will be better for them as well.

I would argue yes, particularly social media data. For one thing most interactions on these platforms involve at least two parties interacting. If one of these parties decides to send the transactions to a chrome extension, it seems they are making a decision unilaterally for all participants. Certainly if anyone is going to do that it will be the platform itself.
China manufacturing hasn't stopped though. Makes me fear that measures like driving less won't make the difference needed.

You’re right that the analogy between elementary-school-multiplication and convolution only works for multiplication without carrying. That still leaves a large amount of possible multiplication instances, for the term “cherry picking” to apply here.

You’re wrong to suggest that elementary-school-multiplication and (discrete) convolution are so dissimilar that the analogy is so unhelpful that it only adds to everyone’s confusion. Maybe to yours, but not to everyone’s.

If I understand your objection correctly (other than the already conceded fact that the analogy does not work in case of multiplication with carrying), you already have internalized that convolution is an operator on 2 functions, resulting in a function. And since you have already internalized that, the analogy with any operator on two natural numbers resulting in a natural number confuses you — although I assume you can see the similarity in the sliding operation.

For people who have not internalized what a convolution is, the visualisationg of the sliding operation, and the analogy with elementary-school-multiplication is the helpful bit.

To clarify why the operations are really similar: consider a natural number as a function that takes a natural number as argument, and returns the digit (between 0 and 9 inclusive) for that decimal position.

So f = 2 031 is considered to be: n → f(n) = if n = 3 then return 2 else if n = 1 then return 3 else if n = 0 then return 1 else return 0 (end if).

And g = 320 is considered to be: n → g(n) = if n = 2 then return 3 else if n = 1 then return 2 else return 0 (end if).

What is then the discrete convolution f ∗ g?

It’s f ∗ g = n → (f ∗ g)(n) = f(3) × g(n – 3) + f(1) × g(n – 1) + f(0) × g(n)

= n → if n = 5 then return 6 else if n = 4 then return 4 else if n = 3 or n = 2 then return 9 else n = 1 then return 2 else return 0 (end if).

This is how we consider 649 920 = 2 031 × 320.
I guess that's what I'm wondering. Is there something that I make missing?

FF has lost so much ground to Chrome. Does it just come down to Google having significantly better distribution channels vs. a "better" product?
Sure, I agree. The part I question is "more energy later". Or at least, this is not obvious from a first-principles no-perpetual-motion argument. It's a technology question.
> Forests are a real part of the solution.

Yes, absolutely. I should have been more clear. It's really important that we plant trees, and that we pay attention to the type of tree we're planting and where we plant them.
Do you have any suggestions as to how? I am not in the phone business.
not a good idea to leak implementation details in the url/interface. think about facebook with all those .php urls.
I've had the timeout happen to me. The bulb does connect to your wifi, just connect your phone to your wifi manually near the end of the pairing and it will continue where it left off. Afterwards, enable LAN mode control and uninstall the app, you never need to use it again. You can use the YeeLight Python library (which I wrote!) and yee (or HA) to do anything you want.
The dirty little secret is that other studies have found that these low-range PHEVs (the three cited above have a useful electric-only range of <10 miles), unlike the Volt, are not often charged by their owners. And, even when they are, the short range means that most miles are driven on dino juice.

So, emissions when not charged are extremely relevant. That’s not editorial bias. It’s reality.

The Volt (and Clarity PHEV) are almost in a different class. Their large batteries make them more similar to an i3, and a 5-8 year old Volt has more range than a similarly-aged Leaf (unless the owner was extraordinarily lucky and lived in a cold climate)
It's more of a deliberate hack that takes advantage of "form submission is not subject to the Same-Origin Policy". So it opens up CSRF in cases where the target might have assumed they were safe. Maybe you could, for example, figure out someone's logged-in Google ID this way (made up example, they likely catch this).
Edit: see replies below this post which clarify what was intended. My response was based on a misunderstanding; that cleared up, I now agree with the poster.

> Data is the new oil

This is a bad analogy.

Oil is a commodity. Data are not. Oil is extractive. You can fly in tech and talent, pump oil, keep the rulers happy and not concern yourself with the local population. You can’t do that with data—its value, for advertising and influencing, is linked to the population’s productivity and power. Finally, data are ephemeral in a way oil isn’t. You can’t barrel up bytes in the middle of the ocean.

The Strange Case of Dr. Ho Man Kwok
5 Billion Cubic Meters of Oil are produced Annually by humanity.

30Bn Tons of CO2 generated.

60% is un-sequesterable because it is small and/or mobile.

40% is sequestrable and large scale/stationary.

12 Billion Cubic Meters of CO2 are thus sequestrable.

You must liquefy CO2 before putting it into the ground.

50% -70% efficiency in converting it to a liquid that we can shove into the ground.

6 to 8.4 Billion Cubic Meters of Liquefied CO2 are thus Sequestrable.

Shoving 6 to 8.4 billion cubic meters of liquefied CO2 into ground is no small matter.

Think about it this way, humanity built an entire industry focused on an annual extraction of 5Bn Cubic Meters of Oil over a time span of 100+ years with refineries and complex processes spanning multiple countries, geographies, regulations, wars, and land rights.

Also, who’s going to buy sequestered carbon?

The reality is that something like this will require spinning up an entire Trillion dollar market.
Loss of biodiversity is one big thing. The species that went extinct due to us industrializing the planet, and the species that will go extinct due to climate change (even if brief and ultimately mitigated) will not come back.

Sure, evolution keeps running its RNG and eventually new and interesting species will start showing up. But that doesn't replace the causal link that is lost. Today, the variety of organisms on our planet gives biologists a chance to understand how crucial mechanisms of life evolved. As we erase that history, we make biological sciences that much harder, and by extension, slow the progress of everything from medicine through biotech to chemistry and material sciences.

> the energy required to produce a new gram of gold

Gold is valuable because people buy it. People don't buy it because of some hypothetical amount of energy that went into producing it, they buy it mostly because it's shiny and rare (and sometimes because it doesn't corrode much or conducts well).

The energy cost to produce is relevant to its price only in so far as it feeds into the supply / demand equation.
It's my understanding as well, many things that a modern programmer thinks in term of "computation" were once considered to be "AI". Lisp and Prolog were "AI", even the A* algorithm is still considered a rudimentary form of "AI" in textbooks just because it uses heuristics. There's a joke that says "every time AI researchers figure out a piece of it, it stops being AI" [0].

It's why I use "AI" and "ML" interchangeably although I know it's technically incorrect - the formal definition doesn't match what people are currently thinking.

Only true for lower capacity drives. You can buy 14TB for <$14/TB while 1-2TB is still $30-45/TB.

It’s not a matter of “stupidity,” but the desire for a better life. A “do nothing” climate change scenario will be bad for Bangladesh, but not as bad as hampering economic growth. By 2060, it will cost Bangladesh a third of its GDP. But put differently, losing a single percentage point of annual GDP growth over that period will be just as bad as the impact from climate change.

New technology will be adopted, but not fast enough. Bangladesh is currently at 4% renewables. But half the country doesn’t even have electricity. It’s building 10 GW of coal capacity by 2030 which will double per capita CO2 output. Gas is still the major energy source with some nuclear being built. There is nowhere to build solar or windmills, though off shore wind is a possibility in the long term. It will be many decades before Bangladesh uses primarily electric vehicles and vast numbers of ICE vehicles will be purchased in the meantime. The number of registered motor vehicles has tripled in the last decade—those are nearly all gas vehicles, and half are used vehicles imported from elsewhere. 80% are motorcycles, with very inefficient gas engines. And there are no alternatives to CO2-production for many construction and industrial processes.

Bangladesh will certainly take some measures to be greener. It has no economic incentive to use more fossil fuels than it needs to: it imports gas and coal and has no domestic industry or jobs in that area to protect. But it also can’t afford to subsidize renewables. It will deploy technologies based on true cost, and right now the cost of renewables + storage isn’t there, neither is the domestic infrastructure to go fully electric.
