With respect, this is not what the article means.

The UK has an equivalence agreement with the EU, which unlike a trade agreement can be rescinded quickly (something like 4 weeks). This means that we have to have equivalent provisions to continue to handle data about EU citizens.

so the UK might be "departing" from GDPR in name, it won't be in substance just by this act.

This of course assumes the the UK is acting rationally.

So you're saying we should socialize Amazon because it's too big to be one corporation? Furthermore, they shouldn't be able to dictate what they sell on their platform?

I mean a lot of people on here hate socialism (I don't, though I dis-like authoritarian versions), it seems though a lot of the people crying foul about corps censoring are the same ones who are libertarian-leaning anti-regulation for everybody and every company and are very leery of "socialism".

I'd agree with Amazon having too much power over it's brand and what it sells, though I don't feel this is an issue. I'm more concerned with Amazon selling knock-off products of its vendors under it's own brand-name then removing their "competing" products. I'm also more concerned with google/apple's control over the app stores, especially Apple since you can't side-load apps.

While, I abhor parler, for example - I can see them doing this more and more with any social media app that could potentially disagree with their world view. I'd like to see more censorship resistant apps pop up just for the sake of freedom (even to be a jerk), I'm also a fan of decentralizing everything some-day and owning your identity and I think Google/Apple could hinder that if they see these de-centralized apps as extremist-enabling apps (even if they aren't really) and just blanket dis-allow them.

There's a fine-line that leftists (and I am one) are walking with censoring everything. I keep thinking of "thought police" in 1984, and it makes me think that even well-intentioned ideas can back-fire and create the very thing they're trying to avoid.

At the same time the terrorism at the capital was scary, we came very close to losing our entire country and installing a dictator for life. So we need to avoid that, but also retain freedoms and the internets "wild west" ability to bring marginalized voices to the fore-front but not if they're inciting violence. Kind of an autistic ramble, but I don't know what the best options are.

I think we need new social networks and news networks that grade everything around perceived "truthfulness" and you can also see who ranked what and what side they lean politically so you know if their ranking is biased, or something.

Somedays I think we'd all just be better if a solar flare hits and disabled electronics for the next 20 months.
Content creators across Africa called to participate in accelerator programme
Most GC languages use bump-pointer allocation and/or compacting garbage collection to (try to) ensure that objects are stored in memory in this way regardless of being dynamically allocated.

This means that even naive linked list implementations are typically much more cache efficient than you would expect coming from C, at least after a GC pass. It also means though that changes to the dependency graph of your program can have unexpected effects for your cache hit rates, since the compacting heuristics are pretty simple (they typically work by copying "child" objects immediately after the "parent" object, but there is no mechanism to define the "right" parent for an object)

I think it will just depend whether the UK starts aligning with the US, say, or goes off to have it's own esoteric regulatory environment. In the latter case, yeah, it seems likely some companies will just not bother.

The UK does get advantages from being an Anglophone country though. That's one of the issues with the EU single market: it sounds great in theory--a unified regulatory system that lets you attract customers from the whole EU. In practice though, you start having to consider whether Poland or Lithuania or wherever is worth localizing for.

Restoring biodiversity to its natural place
This is actually quite a common theme in Buddhist literature. Apart from the central concept of the nature of mind that is by definition unthinkable (in the same way that the eye can't see itself), there are also specific experiences related to the nature of mind that evade ordinary mind.

A simple example: in his boo The Crystal and the Way of Light, Namkhai Norbu describes one of his meditational experiences where he sees 5 spheres of light in one bigger sphere. In this experience, there is no space between the spheres but this seemed perfectly natural. After he finished the practice session, he sat and tried to draw it and after several attempts realized it's impossible. There are many similar accounts.

> The manure problem is a problem at any size of farm, the amount of manure per cow is somewhat constant. So concentrating all the cows in some factory farm doesn't really make anything worse as long as the total number of cows is somewhat constant.

I wonder if this is true. Perhaps the real problem is the concentration of such a large amount of waste in those manure lakes.

I don't have any fixed evidence or numbers, but recalling my youth working on a 200 - 250 cow dairy, the animals were strip grazed in paddocks during the day and night. They would therefore mostly defecate in the paddock, on the grass, spread across a wider area and acting as a natural fertiliser.

There was a small manure pond with wastewater from the dairy itself, but this was not large.

Problems with large manure lakes intuitively seem more likely as the nitrates and other nasties are concentrated, something which doesn't seem as bad with the same amount of manure spread across a grassy paddock.
Or another way would be get a placeholder card from any of the trusted places and then register that card online with your account to make your own.
How's that going? Been hearing that it's happening "really soon now" for at least 3 years.
> the DOS and Mega Drive versions, actually did Dark Castle a great disservice. They offered garish, blocky, color renditions of Pierce's detailed, hand-drawn, black-and-white artwork, and they paired this with an inferior animation engine and awkward, slow gamepad and keyboard-only control setups that muddied the precise and idiosyncratic mouse and keyboard controls of the Mac original.

Indeed. I remember playing the DOS version on an 8086 (an Amstrad PC-1512 DD) when I was a kid (thanks to this article. I had totally forgotten about it, but this brought the memories back!). I remember being intrigued by the ambience and setting, but finding the game quite unplayable. Probably not only because it was the DOS version and the controls were terrible, but also because the computer was not up to scratch, it lagged a lot. I very rarely could pass the first level I encountered (and I wasn't a bad player, I completed various games in the DOS era, but it was just hard with so much lag and bad controls). I still played quite a bit more than the experience on that version/setup deserved, which goes to show that I found something special in it.

Time to find an emulator and play it as it was meant to be played once and for all, I guess!

Bitcoin without PoW has no value. It's the entire reason it works. Without expending a finite resource to produce another, you can't constrain a money supply nor prevent it from attacks.

Governments would be unwise to ban a voluntary system for the same reason they don't ban any other uses of energy that people question the value of (there are plenty). In any case, it will not stop, only move. If not to another massive farm in a favorable jurisdiction (that could be captured) then to smaller sections where it is unidentifiable.

A combination of overproduction, demand shifting and storage. Storage being the most expensive way to handle it. There's a few papers on managing the mix of this but theyre not widely read or reported on.

For a long time the carbon lobby pretended that lithium ion batteries were the only thing that could be used to manage renewable intermittency. This was precisely because they wanted to charactize it being technology that was impossibly far fetched. In reality it's the most expensive of many options and the best last resort but as a result most people think it's just "the solution".

The price of even those has plummeted though and even they are being rolled out (e.g. in Hawaii, next to solar farms). That's still a lot cheaper than hinkley point C.

However, if you're Germany and you've got a calm and overcast day the most cost effective approach is to tell heavy non time sensitive industrial users like aluminum smelters to ramp down production today and ramp it up extra high tomorrow when it's very sunny and windy. The cost of doing this is comparatively very low for many users like smelters and we've barely scratched the surface of what's possible in this space.

So, investing in capacity on the presumption that dealing with the intermittency costs of solar and wind will be an enormous 160% of production costs is flat out insane without subsidies.

Hence why it's fairly clear that the UK wanted hinkley point c for other reasons - i.e. to keep nuclear capacity and know how local so that the nuclear arsenal can be maintained.

As someone who was doing the other way around (hey dan!) working in australia coming from france i always find it weird how australian could accepts almost everything from the government with not much contestation,

I remember when there was a law who passed thru in Australia where every small company could fire anyone on the day (it wasn't the case before, i think there was a 3 month period or something).

The law passed and the only comments I could get from colleague at that time (not from you dan ;)) was "humm okay then"

In france there would be riots for months and years if such law passed.

And the chords can be hit much faster than key sequences.
I don't think that's a stacked decision. There's no way to specify exactly what each of two options will entail. (If you don't believe me, take a look at a California ballot pamphlet.) Of course Leave was gonna be more uncertain - but normally such uncertainty plays against you in referendums, where the status quo tends to win. If Remain didn't pin Leave down, then that's the fault of their campaigning, not the setup.

I’ve been watching a specific unnamed domain that’s been parked for over two decades uninterrupted, and they increase their minimum price in line with inflation over time, even though clearly no one will ever buy it (because it was temporally relevant to a small city in the 90s and has no further value remaining). It gets resold to other domain parkers now and then, which is hilarious to me since it’s so obviously worthless, but when they churn the domains to a new owner, they lose sight of that twenty-years-unsold marker. Oh well.

Surely LLs are a poor example of this because _every_ newly created element becomes an allocation? The PR in the GP only managed to significantly reduce allocations because it was a particularly niche case and the PR was accidentally cheating.

My understanding from friends in the worlds where allocation matters is they use a lot of statically sized arrays.
