I routinely carry various marijuana products in my carry on. Even to Hawaii who scans your baggage on the way to the mainland.

Never once been given a hassle.
If you get caught and arrested for the stuff you stole, can't the judge tell IRS that you owe them since you didn't declare stuff you stole? Especially if you get arrested only in the next fiscal year.
Why are they so attached to NWS Chat specifically? Perhaps there are reasons unexplained, but from this article it sounds very much like they've got Not Invented Here syndrome.

Sure, they need bespoke computation services for their modeling functions and so forth. But when it comes to the dissemination of information, it seems like that's very much a commodity these days, and can be provided at such an enormous scale at such low prices that it should scarcely be a concern.

I suspect, with no evidence whatsoever, that the NWS is holding this hostage for better funding overall, because it's the visible piece that causes pain to the public. There are other areas where they believe they really need better funding, but haven't been able to convince the budgetmakers of that. In order to force their hand, they're starving the public-facing stuff.
Similar thing for me in college, when it came to punishment they asked, "what sort of reprimand do you think you would get in the work place?" And i replied with "sent home with pay?". They weren't impressed.
^^ If you really want to understand the issue from both the historical AI research & philosophical perspective, this is the article to read, and has the benefit of being an entertaining read. Much of Dennet's work is similarly entertaining, and he's absolutely brilliant.

I just tried out the new weather radar, and it was a mess. Extremely slow to update new tiles when scrolling around or zooming. Trying to "play" the radar had a 15 second delay. The browser console is full of errors.

And then, after a couple minutes of moving around the map, I can no longer access the site.

Is this the "data limiting" the article mentions??

Anthropologists and archaeologists abuse the word "ritual" and it confuses the heck out of journalists and laypeople. In the broadest usage, it's just a series of specific actions that are a "thing". For instance, this clip from The Grinch shows a completely non-religious ritual [1].

Yes indeed that's an easy excuse for plausible deniability - yet this person I'm responding to has stated they've greatly improved speed, so why wouldn't they also have improved concurrency, redundancy, etc?

We recently know that Coinbase has had bad behaviour of manipulating the price and find a measly $6 million for market manipulation, so it seems not outside their character.

> not exactly a scathing indictment of nuclear power itself.

No, but it's certainly a statement about our ability to operate nuclear power. You really can't separate the two.

Fukushima may have been spared the worst, but the amount of deaths is only part of the story. Pripyat is still a ghost town. That's nearly 50,000 people that were permanently displaced from their homes. I imagine quite a few people are not returning to the Fukushima area as well.
Then came the fad of the bright blue, "plugged in but turned off" indicator on consumer electronics that had to be taped over if you wanted to sleep in the same room as the device.

The problem with nuclear is that it's expensive AND that it relies on oversight and regulation to be fully safe. What to do with the waste, how to prevent accidents like Chernobyl, Fukushima, etc.: that's the problem with nuclear. Ask yourself if you want nuclear plants in all of the dysfunctional governments around the world, given the risks we know exist. Then compare to solar and wind, which are cheaper and safer, it's not hard to see why mostly solar/wind are dominating new power additions.

I have no problems with nuclear personally, I think we should keep safe reactors running as long as our replacements would be LNG. I do think new-build nuclear would largely be deployed too slowly to help with climate change in the short run, but long-run I think it'll be an amazing source of huge amounts of power. Maybe we can have specialized reactors on-site which deal with the waste from our older reactors or from new reactors...not to mention new designs that are passively safe.
I wonder if it has something to do with the active sabotage in leadership over the last 4 years.
well... after reloading (i'm a bit off grid with a dodgey conection) - i noticed the sound icon so turned on my sound!
I still remember the prank from the late 1980s when KING ran a story that the Space Needle fell over.

KING ran retractions for days, and did their best to bury the footage.

I saw it when KING ran it, and had a good laugh. It was an obvious prank (the video looked like a bad cut & paste job, and the reporters were local comedians from "Almost Live"), but too bad a handful of humorless people ruined it.

I ran into Bill Nye some years later and asked him about it, and he replied they got into a lot of trouble for it.

Light. Focusing mirrors or lasers.

But as others have pointed out, why would you bother with building space based nuclear plants and then converting that energy to light when you could just use the sun?
Hah! I did the exact same thing when I discovered the “net send” command. Only me and my friend were playing around so we sent eachother messages like “I know where you live”..... the school tech was cool with me so I didn’t get punished, but quite a few admins were freaked out by these strange messages appearing on their computers.
You can get a bit nicer with something like

There are a lot of schemes that will solve the factual problem.

But I think the real problem is emotional. People are afraid of mushroom clouds and mutants.

They don't say that because that's not how we're wired. We come up with better sounding arguments to believe. But what need to be solved is the emotional problem.
I seem to recall the US is also the result of lines in the ground drawn by colonialists.
I agree that Applicative syntax is good for parsing. But I'd add that not all parsers can be applicative, so occasionally you do need do notation in your parser.
We already have that nuclear reactor beaming energy down for us to collect.

Probably because the blog post is an advertisement for their product, which already allows you to implement bastion hosts as you describe.

I don't know... The footage for some reason is in the form of a mobile phone recording of the playback of the actual footage. Now you could say that the creator of the page didn't have the original video just found it on youtube, but it's not the case. They were the one to upload it. (And now I see that they also have a photo of the VHS cassette on the site.)

Also, the recording itself is in a pretty bad shape, trying to sell you that it's a very old VHS tape that has been played a huge number of times.
You'd need to fire the rocket to slow down sufficiently to fall into the sun right?

Just imagining the solar system as a bowling ball at the center of a trampoline surrounded by fast moving billiard balls. The problem is probably the speed the earth is moving at, plus the speed we had to get the rocket up to, to get it off earth.
There's the theory, then there's the practice. In practice most of the apps I can think about that I could use are used to communicate with some sort of web server that is actually the one storing the info. So you get 3rd party storage + the stronger privacy invasion.

Bias: I am pro-nuclear, but I try to be realistic.

Nuclear is vastly better for the environment than fossil fuels are, however, it is still bad for the environment. This is why various groups have protested it in the past. Given both viewpoints, my stance is that we should have a real plan to phase out nuclear eventually.

Nuclear is significantly cleaner than fossil fuels. In addition, nuclear could potentially produce a huge amount of energy per "time spent deploying" (especially once there is expertise building nuclear reactors). Finally, nuclear waste can be physically handled and even further processed (in thorium reactors), which is in stark contrast to CO2 which dissipates into the atmosphere and is extremely difficult to sequester.

The problem is that nuclear isn't a perfect option, and people seem to focus on the few caveats over the numerous benefits. If there was a commitment to eventually (on the order of decades) phase it out, I'm sure many of the green energy purists would come to the nuclear party.
Ok, you got me. But there must be more to the definition of blackmail than simply, pay me or else. If that were the definition, then everyone would be a blackmailer by virtue of "pay me for this or else I'll sell it to someone else," which is a "threat" we all implicitly make every day.
There's generally been a long-standing division between two polities, one controlling the upper Nile (modern-day Sudan/South Sudan) and one controlling the lower Nile (modern-day Egypt), although note the boundary between the two of them has shifted over the millennia.

The Islamic caliphate conquered the lower Nile from the Byzantines in their initial expansion, but failed to make progress on the upper Nile, leading the region to remain Christian. The Ottomans eventually displaced the rump states of the caliphate as the rulers of Egypt, but made essentially no progress again pushing south into Sudan. However, the governor of Egypt eventually went on a campaign and actually managed to conquer Sudan and it held for a couple of decades later. But then Sudan had a successful rebellion against Egyptian rule, so the Egyptian governor asked the British (who had by that time invaded and colonized Egypt, even though it was still legally part of the Ottoman Empire) to help him reconquering Sudan. This was successful, leading to Sudan becoming effectively a British colony under nominal Egyptian (but not nominally Ottoman, unlike actual Egypt) sovereignty [1].

That's how Britain acquired Egypt and Sudan. By the time of the first treaty, of course, the Ottoman Empire was carved up for good and Egypt became a clear British protectorate and Sudan a clear joint-British/English condominium. That's why Britain was involved. One of Britain's goals in ruling Sudan was to prevent it from becoming an extension of the Egyptian state, and the first treaty was an instrument to that end (by requiring Sudan to provide Egypt with a reliable supply of water, it's less necessary for Egypt to actually physically control Sudan).

[1] Yes, trying to figure out the actual boundaries of the Ottoman Empire were in its last century of existence is an exercise in frustration.

Because then it’s not on the blockchain. Yes, I could sell you a txt record, saying you own this hash, which represents a jpg, but then it’s not blockchain.

Honestly, I don’t know.

Maybe it’s because the blockchain is immutable? Like, I could change that txt record because I’m evil or something. That makes sense to me, in terms of technology.
You know what, I'll give you that.
I’m not sure how much configuration you have, but if you can, turn down the gain to reduce the echo (You should also keep in mind the shape of your room. Lots of empty space and square walls will reflect sound. It might be worth it to grab dampening foam if you are having a hard time). Reducing the gain will make you sound quieter, but you can now push the audio up a few db without getting as much background noise.

Also, a good EQ can go a long way to improve the vocal quality.

Not sure what there reverse tunnel product is, but a bastion host is super easy to implement, just spin up an ec2 and walla.

I have a model 3P as well, but I thought the range changed based on your driving habits. I keep my max charge for daily use around 85%, which is 240 miles or so, so dividing by that is around 282 miles. When I got it I think the max advertised was 301 miles (June 2019).

I supercharge rarely, the high rate of charge is hard on the battery. I also charge past 90% (or under 10%) rarely for the same reasons.

How often do you supercharge? Charge past 90%?

Keep in mind the model 3 range depends not just on which model you get (RWD, AWD, or Performance), but also by the wheel/tire package you have.

> Relatedly I've been thinking about how to compare the moral culpability of anti-nuclear activists for climate change to that of oil companies. Are sins of preventing beneficial action comparable to sins of taking harmful action? Do intentions offset effects?

Seems like knowledge could come into play here. Someone could have made the same argument about coal 150 to 200 years ago because the data didn't yet exist to suggest it was harmful. From their perspective, coal could have looked better than the alternatives. Not sure how culpable activists would be in that scenario, at least relative to fossil fuel companies of today which deliberately release disinformation to their own benefit.
Yes! One of my first hobby electronics projects as a kid was adding a blue LED to an RC car just for the cool factor.
True in Seattle as well, and Portland too from what friends tell me but I don't have first hand knowledge of that one.

Had my wallet stolen at a community rec center in the Northgate area (a few miles north of downtown Seattle for those unfamiliar). There was video of the thief taking it. I was able to find out from regulars his name + phone number + address, from which I found his facebook account with several public pictures of him that made it clear he was the same man from the security video. Also was able to find some public police reports of prior arrests of the same man on various counts of theft/larceny, although no convictions that I could find. Gave all of that information to the "detective" assigned to my case. Nothing ever came of it. As best I can tell, nobody did anything beyond write down some of the information I gave them.
For a very sui generis definition of ownership.

You call them and one of those rare guys (who's still there after 25 years) answers the phone. Or whoever answers the phone is willing to take the time to find someone who has been there since then.

So... if hypothetically we ever went to negative interest rates, you could screw up somebody's taxes by stealing some item from them Jan 1st that doesn't depreciate, and returning it to them December 31st. Then report this action to the IRS, and the victim of the theft now owes the government because the negative interest you saved them by taking this asset off their hand and returning it to them December 31st is now income.
> Treat your tax documents are like a confessional, tax and financial documents found by police are inadmissible in any criminal proceedings (civil is fine), and police aren't allowed to get someone's tax documents from IRS.

While the second is perfectly fine, the first makes no sense. The confession is your report to the IRS. What you keep around is your problem and would be fair game, in the same way that the sacramental seal only applies the scope of the sacrament: if you confess, then say what you confessed within the priest's ear outside of confession the sacramental seal is void, to say nothing of writing it in your diary or shouting it from the rooftop.
Both of these statements are true:

- An NFT can (should) include a hash of the work

- Multiple NFTs can exist pointing to the same hash.

However:

> And it's not like Monet making more paintings, because each painting is unique.

Each NFT is also unique in the sense that each NFT itself has an address and its own history. They are distinguishable. They are orderable.

> This is an identical digital copy from the same person, with no guarantee of its longevity.

The record has a guaranteed longevity - the longevity of the underlying blockchain. The object it points to obviously does not.

However that's not really important. Building records in the city clerk office have a guaranteed longevity that is far greater than the buildings themselves.

So for example, if Jack minted multiple NFTs for the same tweet it would be clear to everyone which one was first. Only the first one would presumably be considered valuable.

If Jack attached IP rights to those NFTs, courts would presumably only consider the first valid.

I personally find NFTs that lack actual legal property rights to be silly and valueless, but I wanted to address confusion about how they actually work.
After the radar launch I inquired about bringing back the GIF loops and they had something within 24 hours.

I use the NWS API's in my personal weather app and they work fairly well.

It's not all doom and gloom, but they could be better. The NDBC went down for about 7 days last month due to a "catastrophic outage," and that was very unfortunate. But, the deliberately and with warning took the BOX radar offline for maintenance for the first time in decades. A mixed bag.
It's a simple server, yes, but it fails to correctly implement HTTP. But that's the trouble with all these "look a 'simple' X in N Loc"; yes, a great many things get simpler when you ignore the requirements of the standard.

If you're interested, that question is most commonly referred to in philosophy as the "trolley problem". [1]

It's actually a huge area of philosophical debate. So while the bad news is there's no straightforward answer -- instead there's deep disagreement among philosophers who think about exactly this for a living -- the good news is you could spend literal weeks learning about the arguments on both sides if you wanted to.

How do you handle ordering?

I noticed:

$ grit add -p 5 Bread

$ grit add -p 5 Milk
(5) -> (7)
$ grit add -p 5 Eggs

led to:

│ ├──[ ] Bread (6)
│ ├──[ ] Eggs (8)
│ └──[ ] Milk (7)
