Cost-effective carbon removal sounds fantastic, but does anyone else worry that this has the potential to de-incentivize other sustainability initiatives? E.g., say we had this technology available tomorrow. It'd be much easier for companies to pay lip service to sustainability by simply buying carbon removal to "offset" their emissions, without addressing other environmentally harmful aspects of their business. How do we pursue this technology while also addressing this?
Your first statement is flat out wrong. Illegality is actually a driver of prices in all sorts of activity. See drug prices now, alcohol during the Prohibition. (Also, and this is more of a style and culture matter, learn about run-on sentences. They're one of those things that got cut in us-landia colleges.)

Obviously, it is "not like a bank transfer". Then again, that you personally have never seen anything like it, makes no difference in its actual legitimacy or usefulness as a medium of transaction.
You’d likely get discounts with that volume of spend and you can always use a cheaper third party CDN.

Based on your totals your numbers are suspect. You’re saying each visitor would cost you 100$ in bandwidth fees? At the lowest bandwidth pricing level that’s over a terabyte per user, per month, if you go through cloudfront.

It would, but it doesn't roll off a tongue as easy as transparent wood.

Same reason we use MDF rather than Medium-density fibreboard.
A bit of both.

I’ll often read a bit before going to bed, so super long chapters (e.g., greater than an hour?) mean I’m just choosing somewhere “less intentional” to stop.

I would also say that I recall (it’s been a while!) a lot of extraneous detail in some passages, that made me think “ugh, I kind of wish I could skip this, but if there’s a hidden plot element in here I shouldn’t”.

The extraneous detail was probably more frustrating than “long chapters”, but I find that the two go together and usually suggest a missed opportunity for editing.
Good catch, thanks! Added to my trello board. After work today I'll try updating my page generator to fix.
> ...yet there is an entire continent west of you that has been depopulated by disease...

This is a rather popular myth, but most academics reject the virgin soil thesis as some combination of incomplete and simplistic. Europeans were intimately involved with precipitous population declines where they occurred in North America.
Subsidiarity of responsibility/scope between layers of government seems orthogonal to the way we (s)elect people in charge.

> Some things shouldn't ever be voted about.

In many democracies, certain things are codified into constitutions and are hard to change, and typically not frequently, if ever, voted on. Is that what you mean?
How is this different from Terraform Cloud's cost estimation please?

Thanks for this, I've bookmarked the site and may use it in the future. It's a drag searching for new release dates in blog posts or articles purporting an answer, only to find they're omitted or buried. Though as your OP states, perhaps I should have been searching IMDB all along.

I searched on "Expan" on your site and found The Expanse easy enough (the site is quite fast), but I still had to visit IMDB afterward - I wasn't sure if there was a season 6. IMDB confirmed there is, but as expected, with an unknown date.

So I'll leave this for you to consider - list future seasons, even if they include or cite something to the effect of "date pending". That might prevent visitors from needing IMDB or other sources in use cases such as mine.

Including episode air dates is another addition I'd vote for.

Nice work!
OK, let's discuss this use case.

I'm in country with a cash economy, am unable to use my debit card in the local ATMs and don't speak the local language. I login to online banking on my phone or in a cybercafe and send a bank transfer in my currency from my account to WU. Within a few minutes WU confirms receipt of the funds. I walk down the street to the large WU sign, show a MTCN number and my passport to the teller, and collect equivalent cash in local currency, less a bearable-in-the-circumstances transaction fee. (This actually happened by the way.)

Let's for the sake of argument, assume I already have a large fortune in Bitcoins, access on all the major exchanges and private keys memorised and written down in a secure box, all in my possession. Trouble is vendors want local currency not BTC, and I don't have the language skills to convince them that actually BTC is a much better store of value or locate the local BTC enthusiast's group (if there is such a thing) and negotiate an informal money transfer with them. In the end I probably give up and use Western Union...
Its provided by Google Lens suggestions, so you'll need to have that enabled in the Camera settings for it to appear. It also seems a little slow sometimes, give it a few seconds for it to show up a small suggestion bubble at the bottom of the viewfinder.

I'm using Google Camera version 8.1 on a fully updated Pixel 4a and it works for me.
Huh? This directly disagrees with my experience. I believe this person is mistaken. Resumes are always filtered before they hit my desk, I just never even knew the filter happened. Apparently they toss out a huge amount.

Reading this tweet in depth disagrees with a lot of my experience in Fortune 500 tech companies. Can’t figure out the misunderstanding.
Here's a perhaps unique problem that cryptocurrency solves - trustless, decentralised proof of ownership (digital or physical) through NFTs.

This is a less talking about area of cryptocurrencies but in my opinion quite an important one. For the first time we can create digital scarcity without relying on a trusted party. NFTs have no digital analogue.

Author here - Sorry about that! I'm still running an older (2017-era) MBP, but honestly I think many other solutions kicked around in the comments here are better than what I'd come up with.

(I'd really wanted to write a bash script, this seemed like a good option.)

For example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26062315

Or, another solution that looks promising: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26062553

That solution looks clean and simple, though I've not tried it. It might work for you!

App stores are no more terrible than the previous software distribution model where you Google the name of the software you want to install, find some site that "mirrors" the download, realize they've repackaged the original app with extra ads and toolbars, keep searching, find the official download link, scroll past all the misleading ads containing download buttons, download the package, and then hope the download runs on your machine.

Anybody complaining about app stores has forgotten how bad the alternatives are. And community-maintained repositories aren't a solution, that's just the app store model but on a smaller scale so it's less of a Target for bad actors. If ubuntu's universe repo had to suffer the same amount of abuse as the play store does, it would crumble in a day.
If you were referring to bitcoin, it isn't a security.
Interestingly enough, with Ethereum, countries could create their own national currencies as Ethereum tokens. And easily exchange with other Ethereum tokens as well.
Added a comment in another thread below that may be worth looking into first.
GitHub search is not very smart, but I prefer that when searching code. When searching code, I'm usually trying to find exact tokens i.e. a variable name or an error message string vs. searching documents.

I find it useful all the time.

I'm imagining foreign people in foreign countries, burning Western flags and burning hanging dolls. Sometimes for good reasons, and other times not for rational reasons.
Don't assume malice when it can be explained by stupidity; it is probably a confusion as there are many apps with very similar names and in the phone the publisher is usually not listed (I checked mine), so people with the malware app gave reviews to other apps.
There probably could be some backlash, but it would be easy for Google to brush this off by listing harmful features they removed in the process.

They have done more drastic things in the past. They have even removed apps entirely from Android phones due to very harmful features, and nobody cared when they heard about the horrid things these apps did in the background.
Not an expert here but, IF a gay gene existed, wouldn't have it been evolved into extinction?
Tried it it didn't work either.
> Unless you need to drive beyond the limits of your battery, at which point a gasoline powered vehicle makes more sense. I get the feeling your belief system is a post hoc rationalization since you’re just ignoring a major use case.

I have a pretty good handle on my driving. Its been over a year since I've driven more than 300 miles in a day. Even when I was driving 500 miles 20 times a year, that's still only 20 Supercharger stops versus easily twice as many stops for gas that I've made during those same years.

> If it really bothers you, then you probably be able to refuel your fuel cell car at home at some point in the future.

I won't have to bother, by the time those are affordable and efficient enough to make sense, batteries will be a fraction of their current weight. So there will still be no point in some arbitrary extra steps cutting into efficiency.
Presumably Tesla could start trading covered Bitcoin options to provide some stability to the market/their car prices.
I don't know how suggesting tighter TTLs is indicative of "the industry eating itself" or that we can't fix email at the same time. Relax.

"com" and "." can obviously be cached a long time, they'll rarely change servers. No need to walk the whole tree every time - god forbid between multiple requests made by a single webpage like you're implying. Subdomains are typically only 1 or 2 names on top of the TLD.

I'm all for being efficient with computer resources, and like others said there's a latency component here. But seriously, DNS packets are tiny, typically 50 bytes or so.

Assuming, say, 80 bytes after UDP, IP, Ethernet framing etc. (just a ballpark) that's 640/10,000,000,000 bits in 1 second of time on a 10gbps fiber, or about 1 of 1.5 million DNS packets that fiber (of many fibers) could send every second.

At that scale, I don't see why TTLs of say 1 minute wouldn't be fine. Multiply everything above by 60 seconds and that's still an effective cache of a 50 byte response in computer time. Authoritative NS records can change less often, so intermediate servers can just check direct with the authoritative servers when records go stale. Say 100 bytes roundtrip once a minute.

I'm not taking about throwing away or redesigning DNS - just that tighter TTLs than typically recommended are probably fine and would make life a little easier with propagation delays.

Also, people tend to "hold back" unless they're in a true rage or have some other diminished capacity (temporary like from drugs and alcohol or permanent). Animals tend not to, which is why, pound for pound, they're a bit more frightening to deal with. I'd rather be in a fight against my 200lb BJJ training partner (who was all muscle, after some sessions I was sore for days as it felt like I'd been hit repeatedly by a truck) than the poorly trained (or poorly socialized, maybe it was trained) 80lb German Shepherd that chased me into my apartment building (he got loose from his owner who had it on a lead, fortunately I had a head start). At least I'd have confidence my training partner wouldn't latch on and deliberately tear flesh from bone.

I guess my counterargument would be that the modern sporting rifle was designed to be a military weapon. I'd be interested in learning more about the technicalities that designate something as an according-to-Hoyle military weapon, but I'm a little dubious that such a definition will cause me to forget the history of the AR-15.
The "straw man arguments (farm murders)" refers to the fact that the original poster didn't mention farm murders, it was introduced into the conversation in order to attribute a weak argument to someone else in order to attack them on it, aka a straw man.

Now you say "Genocide of the White man is a myth in South Africa" - sure, but who mentioned anything to do with "Genocide"?
Fair point, but the others won't be available in adequate quantities anytime soon. I'm not sure where SA stacks up, but nobody is getting adequate quantities before this summer at best.
Hard agree for businesses. Office just isn't that expensive anymore, especially if you're in the MS ecosystem already.
It is interesting how this is in tension with our desire to not pollute [0]. On one hand, we want to only use as much radio/light/etc. as necessary to communicate and live our lives; on the other hand, we don't want to be easily isolated from each other simply by obviously not having any light around us.

You buy a bottle of wine at 10bucks with your income that pays 10%, meaning that it cost you 11 bucks. Know you know you paid taxes and got your fine bottle.

You switch it to the store. Now the store charges you 11 dollars for the bottle of wine. It looks like you paid no taxes, but you did. Now you dont know your tax rate, you dont see it, and they can be raised without your approval as it is hidden from you.

VAT taxes work like that and have reached sometimes 30%+.

Furthermore, it doesnt make taxes simpler, the business still has to do tax handling for you, which means you also pay that company accountant.
I would have to check the timeline but I was seeing this frequently with their IPFS gateway (as you can't control the security settings). It was a couple of months ago now so maybe it has been fixed recently.

I'm curious, do you know how it was fixed? Is it not serving a captcha for the second request on a connection or something? Or does it somehow figure out that asset requests are "safe"?
I don't think we should view the problem from the First Amendment point of view - it will be rather hard and cumbersome to come up with something useful this way.

Much simpler approach is to just allow users of any platform to self-govern in a transparent, consistent way, i.e. bring democracy to those platforms.

Anyway, we do need to have this discussion and it's nice to see legal arguments being put forward.
Exactly. "Product X caught 25% more bad guys than Product Y" this stuff just writes itself.

Policing is driven by numbers. There was a whole season of The Wire about this.
First, not being motivated only by money doesn't mean he doesn't like money. More money buys more access and more funding to be able to do what he does, and the fame and attention from being one of the richest people in the world (which he had to get that from somewhere in business, he didn't start out a billionaire) lets him direct attention to causes he cares about, say 'Hey look, this is important' and people listen (at least somewhat).

If he starts a charity, it's not generating new income so he has to rely on only his own and external donations. It may be enough, with how much he is worth currently, but why not take all the free funny money from investors in the stock market while we're at it?

I'm not actually arguing that he's a charitable human being, I'm arguing he's motivated to progress humanity in a technological way (which could have charitable side effects). And either he's the head of a business making that change, or he's funding other companies to be that business, so why not have direct control over it?

Another good reason not to keep research and development of companies like Zoom in America.
Aristotle also empirically discussed the form and behavior of various insects, and of course he non-empirically discussed the form and behavior of legendary creatures.

And all of that came under the umbrella of "philosophy" as the word was used centuries ago, but it doesn't today, and neither does the material here.

When I say "what philosophers talk about", I do not mean to imply that if Daniel Dennett remarks "nice day today", then common weather patterns are a topic in philosophy, and I hope that that lack of implication was obvious to most readers.
A lot of the search for a gay gene seems trapped in an outdated understanding of sexuality as a binary proposition: "you're either A or B." How do you even begin to contemplate a study on sexuality once you understand it as highly varied and fluid? Same with gender.

They're bimodal distributions at best. You can't just crop off the confounding valleys and call what you do with them good science.

Still it doesn't make sense. Testing other epitopes could have taken very little extra time. In case of mRNA vaccines, just run some trials in parallel.

And surely, it's better to hedge your bets. Otherwise, we might end up in the situation were all vaccines are useless as it's easy for strains to evolve countermeasures. That already seems the case of the Oxford vaccine...
I don't know if this question was asked before the question was asked upthread ("how do we know you won't cave to investor pressure to raise profits?", basically) but the answer was that they're chartered as a "public benefit corporation" and that comes with a legal requirement to "maintain the social mission". So, if they're targeting the first type, the theory is that you don't need market pressure to drive the price down because they're only "allowed" to make enough margin to cover expenses.
Hits the nail on the head so perfectly. It's why we're using Figma at work after a mix of Indesign/Sketch/Zeplin/Dropbox PDFs.
It's better to use Takeout than IMAP export if you're one of the people who, for whatever reason, have Google rewriting URLs in your IMAP messages (having Advanced Protection enabled is one such trigger, I learned).

Is anyone facing issue with github pages too? Updated content not getting reflected?
Ok, maybe I’m naive, but why is that obvious?

Not arguing just trying to understand.

My rationale is: prosecutors have to weigh an “easy” conviction vs the possibility that labs that always guarantee results may be biased. In the event that they get caught up with a biased lab, wouldn’t it look bad for their reputation? As in, they can’t even perform due diligence on their sources, how can you trust them in a promoted role?

Or am I just naive on how the legal system works?
Not necessarily, as long as it's recessive.

Not an expert either here though.
Disagree. If you think that is true of you, then maybe you don't have as great a personality as you think you do. Women love funny, confident guys.
> what do you think bitcoin is used for?

Storing value. Smart ass answer, I know. But it's true.

As a private currency, Bitcoin is like a screen door. So I don't know why you'd use it for illegal activities.
Proof of Stake, an alternative to Proof of Work where users stake the currency for a chance to become the next validate (the winning miner). If they do anything shady or not allowed their stake is redistributed to the community.

You do realize that these events must be compared to the natural rate of these events, right?

There will be people who die the day after their vaccine, because they are old and fat and will have a heart attack.

There will be people who die of rare diseases within hours of their vaccine, because we are intending to vaccinate the entire world and these things happen naturally and likely have nothing to do with the vaccine.

Until you have data in a control group comparing the rate of these events to the vaccinated group, you have absolutely nothing other than fear mongering.
I've found that `grep` with PCRE enabled is far more useful to find exact tokens like variable names or error message strings.

"Bitcoin is a mystery to me. Somehow it's hailed as revolutionising the economy, by replacing currency with a worse kind of currency."

The coin/currency thing is misleading. You should compare it more to gold than to USD etc. Something off which the issuers can't conjure up 4 trillion out of thin air whenever their palls want 'moar!'. USD would be completely Zim dollas by now if it weren't for the petrodollar scam.
my experience with webpack has been if you want to do exactly what it was designed to do, it's great, but if you want different setup it's best used as just as a bundler instead of as entire build pipeline. not that it's not possible, but it's like pulling a tooth.
Some of the happiest days of my programming life was during a brief stint in grad school doing AI programming in Common Lisp (circa 1992). The purity of functional programming and the rapid implementation of algorithm PoC's was pure joy. The pragmatics of life have kept me from using CL since them -- I wish this effort the best success.
