Fertiliser made from urine could enable space agriculture: study
Well, the other confounding factor is that the economy only cares about this quarter. Or, even more precisely, it only cares about the change in stock prices, not their absolute value. Every day, the stock price needs to continue to trend upwards, or it has no value, even if the company is itself immensely profitable or otherwise useful.
It is very valuable, but often misunderstood. Without high-frequency trades building market liquidity, there would be a massive gulf between bid ask spreads that ultimately loses people money in the long run.
> If authorities show up within weeks of you burning a forest to start growing stuff, it gets a lot more risky. Burning forest is the lazy option; it's only convenient if you can get away with it. Mapping can fix that.

Mapping doesn't do shit if the politicians don't act - and Bolsonaro is hellbent on not acting in the interest of anyone but the rich people paying him off (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-49815731).

If the rainforest is to be saved, Bolsonaro must be removed one way or the other - and I'm not sure that it will be possible at all to remove that guy at the voting booth anymore. Personally I'd welcome some sort of intervention by one of the three-letter agencies - this time it could be actually for a good cause.

Being heavily keyboard-first (or only) is one of the reasons I've tended to bounce off of tiling wms I've tried in the past, despite liking the concept generally.

I tend to alternate between wanting to do everything from the keyboard and wanting to use my mouse heavily. I've never liked having to switch my hand between keyboard and mouse when I'm in the middle of something, so I usually have customizations for both input modes, eg FireFox addons for mouse gestures and vi-keys active simultaneously.

For window management I've always liked the idea of tiling wms, but they tend to have less mouse support than I'd like, or getting the support they do have to work the way I want is more involved. Ironically, I recall ratpoison being pretty good in that department, when I tried it years ago.

These days I use KWin (designed for a primarily floating workflow) with an addon script Krohnkite[0] to add automatic tiling layouts and hotkeys on top of the usual KWin behaviors. This lets me use all of KWins standard mouse features and extra niceties, but with decent tiling that required almost no configuration to get something that feels completely natural to me.

With the collapse of local newspapers -- and what local newspapers remain often eschew investigative reporting due to lack of resources or unwillingness to alienate patrons -- there are many places where someone maintaining a local news blog as a side gig is the important local press. These people definitely deserve to be seen as "real journalists".
Normally at tech companies there’s a review and bonus twice a year.

I can't comment too much on the zero-G washing part (but I tend to agree), and I think the comment about solvent is actually very interesting.

It's likely that weight is probably not the biggest concern if such a washing system were to be implemented, as they would probably design a system to recycle the washing liquid. I think most solvents that are candidates as washing liquids post either additional health and/or fire hazards in space.
In addition, and particularly for water-based washing, I think the error tolerance in engineering either (1) additional infrastructure to the existing water-recycling system and/or (2) a part that can confidently remove unwanted chemicals are challenging problems. the latter is probably the bigger concern because tolerance for error there would probably be substantially lower than urine recycling.

Just a guess because I thought it's an interesting comment, and it's quite possible that one can already design (if it doesn't already exist) a washing liquid that is safe for consumption at small quantities.

I also agree. I actually literally had this thought yesterday walking down the street and I'm far from a low level security researcher. Row hammer[0] is a real attack worth actual money to thousands of entities. This attack is literally one of the simplest imaginable and any computer that it would apply to would already have shielding. Had it gained true wifi access then yes, maybe worth a tiny amount of money if it were faster for the like 12 computers in an office whose sole protection is some snipped wires on an ethernet cable and incoming data on UDP. For any real actor that has to worry about this type of attack they already employ all sorts of measures to defeat it, including actual bunkers underground with a secret entrance in the cow fields.

This will partly depend on the type of highway you have in mind. And even so, it most probably depends on local laws, so the following is applicable in most European countries, AFAIK.

With that caveat, on access-controlled highways (motorways), you’re not allowed to walk, so any pedestrian would be in the wrong for being there. That said, even there a driver would be at fault for colliding with a human (policeman, fireman, people after a car accident, and other people who might have a very good reason to be there) regardless of what that human was doing. It’s not that different from crashing into a stopped car or any other kind of obstacle. Similarly, a driver is at fault for hitting an animal.

In non-access controlled highways, the driver would be at fault if their car collided with anything, be it another car, a human, or an animal. How legal it is for a pedestrian to cross in this case depends on local laws.

So in any case, yes, the driver is responsible, although that responsibility could be shared in some cases. If the accident results from deliberate action on the part of the pedestrian, there probably would not be any consequences for the driver in any lawsuit (unless the driver was also reckless or drunk), but for insurance purposes it does not matter.

It's a bit bare and might work for some folks. The thing is, nowadays, notes are taken through multiple inputs — typed text, scanned documents, pens, and voice!

But regardless, I still haven't found the winner that takes them all.
Perhaps the Bar could set it up so that if a lawsuit is determined frivolous then the Bad pays the defending attorney’s fee.

I’m trying to think of an incentive to counteract the viscious cycle of frivolous lawsuits providing benefits for “good” lawyers. I think it’s hard to fix a problem if the problem makes money for the good guys.

So optimally good lawyers wouldn’t make money but wouldn’t want to avoid defending people against these suits. Maybe the Bar can have all firms contribute time from their best performers to serve and not bill, but I can expect that frivolous lawsuits aren’t apparent until after the suit is complete.

Python is by default installed on RHEL, CentOS, Debian and many more, the noteble exception are BSDs [0]. Python 2.4 was released in 2004, by writing python 2.4 compatible code you should cover everything besides ancient mainframes.

My corporate overlord (~10k ppl) has a policy to place all incoming email from domains less than 30 days old into the Junk folder, it's a tier 1 rule which cannot be overridden or circumvented by user rules. No amount of properly configured mail services will matter in this scenario. :-/
> People will suggest running your own mail server, and if you have the time and energy then definitely do that.

As a learning experience, sure, but most people are not prepared for what running a 24/7 mail service requires of them.

First of all, a static, non-residential IP is likely needed. The big players will flat out refuse receiption if your IP is registered as residential, so that rules out hosting it from your home despite having gigabit internet.

You also need SPF, DMARC and DKIM working, or major players will also flat out refuse reception.

On top of that, you need to implement the infrastructure to actually host a server 24/7, including patching and backups, as well as monitoring it for unauthorized access.

Despite all of the above, you may still find yourself on a spam/block list, and removing yourself from these can also turn into a large task.

Part of the irony of Gmail having outages is that Google and other "large players" have fought long and hard for a decade to make it harder to host your own mail server. It has been done in the name of fighting spam, but i doubt any of them minded it making it harder to run your own.

So yeah, build your own mail server as a learning experience. Then move the domain to someone dedicated to running it.

I purchased a lifetime subscription (limited promo offer) with mxroute.com. 10GB mail storage, unlimited domains and accounts (limited by space only), as well as a Nextcloud instance for all your users.
Service and uptime has been nothing but exceptional. Customer support is actually reachable. The only downside is that the spam filter (SpamAssassin IIRC) is not as highly trained as the GMail one, so more spam comes through.
Infinite profit, in fact, since the information would be traveling backwards in time.

Tesla disagrees. Full Self Driving is coming in 2015 ergh 2016 ergh 2017 ergh 2018 ergh 2019 ergh.. end of 2020...

Now the Tesla fanboys are saying that it will come in 2021.

Just look at the world we live in: it contains 6 billion people. If a small fraction of it is into buying a car or a game that will only work as advertised a decade after they buy it, you might still be able to sell the millions of cars, games, etc.

If you check out the news, the amount of people that's delusional is not a "small fraction", but actually closer to ~50% of the population.

Shareholders demonstratably don’t care about dividends since many large companies like Amazon/Uber don’t have any, aren’t even ever going to be profitable, but just have a really cool story.

But theoretically shareholders don’t care about these things as long as the company will grow a lot in the next 30 years. There are some alternative stock markets set up to encourage this.

And stockholders hardly exercise their powers. CEOs tend to not get fired.

"It is illegal to market to kids, however it is not illegal to sell products which kids want."

Toys, breakfast cereal, video games, etc... there are regulations and in the case of vices, outright restrictions... but at least in Europe and North America, advertising to children is very common... much to the chagrin of parents who are currently being spammed by their kids for a Rocket League season pass because they were spammed by the ads on the Xbox.
Ah, that makes a lot of sense and explains the bad idiom. I think, then, that it should be something like this instead?

browser.tabs.executeScript({
code: `
window["_gaUserPrefs"] = { ioo : function() { return true; } };
`,
allFrames: true, // And maybe this for good measure?
runAt: "document_start",
});

(Spelled browser for WebExtensions, and chrome for most Chromium-based browsers.)

This may well be incorrect or incomplete. I’m not properly familiar with the details here. I haven’t made any browser extensions in the WebExtensions era, all I’ve done is plenty of Greasemonkey scripts, where you can use unsafeWindow.eval() for these purposes (and there, if you instead did unsafeWindow._gaUserPrefs = …, you’d run into a SecurityError when the user code tried calling _gaUserPrefs.ioo()).

"And no, GDP will not drop. Current productive [..]"

I don't understand what you are saying there. GDP is a function of spending in the economy. If there is a fall in investment there is a fall in spending. If it's not compensate somehow, GDP will fall.

"[..] than have their labor and capital output diverted to projects that will provide them with less resources than they put in."

I don't understand that neither. Is better to have people unemployed than put those people to work?
> That would be a fine way to make things exponentially worse.

Things are FUBAR already. It can't get that much worse: entire countries are effectively run by drug empires, others are falling apart due to uncontrolled, rampant violence (often enough caused by criminals the US deported in the first place), and Bolsonaro is selling out the future of humanity.

I agree that the anti-communist interventions of the past were a catastrophe - but looking away now and leaving the poor and nature to pay the price for past misdeeds is not an option.

The US needs to legalize drugs to drain the cartels of their funding source, support the local legitimate governments that are fighting against cartel and gang violence - and ensure that the Amazon rain forest is not burned down any more.
Yes, this threat is real, but it's not useful to spread it out across two dozen papers. You can cover most of these techniques in a single paper. Once you realize that any light/sound/RF channel can be abused, you either accept you are vulnerable to this attack, or you make your airgap involve a Faraday cage, thick walls, and generator power or extreme power filtering (e.g. through batteries to strictly reduce the bandwidth of the power usage channel).

There isn't much more to it. His techniques are not something you block individually. You block entire classes. Block light, there goes all the LEDs. Block sound/vibration, there goes the fan/coil whine stuff. Insulate thermally, that takes care of that. Faraday cage, bye bye RF. Etc.

Either you care about this entire class of channels, and you do all of those things, or you don't, and your air gap just means no Ethernet cable between two adjacent computers. The specific details of each of his attacks are not useful. They do not contribute to the state of the art in any way. It's just pumping out papers.

Indeed, if advanced modulation and processing were used, that would be useful research. That would be science, measuring the true information-carrying capacity of these approaches. But he's not doing that. At all. Not even trying.
Then there's the used pallet black market...

If you have a business, you learn the hard way not to keep your pallets outside, and if you do, keep them fenced up.

If you mean Common Lisp, I'd say install SBCL and start playing with with the repl. Choose the editor you know best; even notepad is useful to copy and paste expressions to/from the repl. Any editor that's suited for programming will have a way to send expressions to the repl with a keystroke, which is much more comfortable. So basically, just pick VSCode.

With that, you're ready to go. Take just one book and work through it, you don't need the best book, but a book will be better structured and more complete than multiple blog posts from different people. Practical Common Lisp (http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/) is good and freely available. I used ANSI Common Lisp (http://www.paulgraham.com/acl.html), from Paul Graham (https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=pg), long time ago and it's also good.

If you are open to non-common-lisp lisps, I'd say pick up clojure instead of common lisp, it's more modern and thus you will find more community and up-to-date resources. Clojure for the Brave and True is a book that has been praised, but I did not read it. It has some jokes and humorous examples that might or might not suit you.

Actually I think it is not true. What is happening is that firms who can afford are investing in not necessary technology to be executed faster then others. That just creates a huge market barrier and a monopoly. Only the trading firms and in some way exchanges are creating value of it.
