Kurzgesagt has a good video called "Who Is Responsible For Climate Change? – Who Needs To Fix It?":

* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipVxxxqwBQw

There are multiple view points. The country with the largest current annual total emissions is China with 27-30% and the US with 15% (see 2m10s).

The country that produced the most CO2 in total historically which got us to this point of climate change (see 3m30s), were US first at 25% of historical emissions, and the EU in second at 22%, and China in third with 13% of historical emissions. India, all of Africa, and all of South America each had 3% of historical emissions.

Then there's per capita emissions (see 5m10s of the video).

So which of these three metrics should be used? Or should it be some other metric or a combination?

Also probably worth noting that China seems to have peaked in coal plants. They've built too many already, but hopefully it should be going down now.
Sure. Here's mdBook's code embedding: https://rust-lang.github.io/mdBook/format/mdbook.html

Bookdown/rMarkdown/Knitr is best explained at https://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/articles_intro.html#knitr-for-... and the user docs are at https://bookdown.org/yihui/rmarkdown/r-code.html and https://bookdown.org/yihui/rmarkdown/language-engines.html.

I like being able to test that the code in my documentation is valid and runs, and to show the output without having to copy and paste it.

Hope htat's useful!

When I looked at Docusaurus I had the impression it would work very well for JavaScript projects where you could runt he code in-browser, but wasn't designed to document other language code?

I don't know if that's strictly necessary. Even a linear increase of 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, etc. seems like it could be sufficient?
Very interesting. Which client has the book review feature?

I haven't yet dipped my toes into Secure Scuttlebutt -- I joined a Mastodon instance once upon a time, but it didn't hold my attention too well. I've always associated Secure Scuttlebutt with a similar (albeit more distributed) micro-blogging thing, but that's probably my own ignorance speaking (nothing in the protocol seems to limit interactions to this, based on a quick skim).

Nothing against micro-blogging in particular, I just personally find the signal-to-noise ratio suboptimal (though maybe I'm just on the wrong networks, following the wrong people!). I'd love to build something into my book-tracking app so I could, like, share a list of books I have on my shelf that I would be willing to lend to people, or a list of books I'm interesting in reading that I could borrow from people, or books for trade, or just reviews (I've been doing a bit of pipe dreaming lately). I'm gonna dig a bit more into the Secure Scuttlebutt and ActivityPub protocols to see if this is something that could feasibly be done.
So where would one find this true hard sci-fi?
>there are plenty of legitimate uses for this kind of data

Who defines "legitimate" and why should that be an argument for doing something that seems blatantly unconstitutional?
It's the cities (and their suburbs) where acquiring new ROW is expensive.

Looking at their product, I wonder how many of these kind of vulnerabilities are still open and exploited by them. Wouldn't make much sense for them to burn such a useful vulnerability which is required for their product unless they had something better.

We simply exploited fossil fuels.

You are extremely optimistic about having several hundred million years left on Earth, when the longest living hominid existed for only ~2 million years.

I firmly believe that homo sapiens will self-destruct long before that point, as we have greatly overstressed the planet in only 200,000 years, mostly in the last 200.
I wonder how developed nations will deal with #3s being deployed on their shores. It might be much easier to sneak in Terminators than any sorts of bombs. And the terror factor would be off the charts.
I think the Colonial attack has made many people think about cryptocurrencies and the potential for more regulation given the publicity and impact to society. There is no need for him to get any special "tip" to make that determination, or at least have it part of the mosaic of information he uses to evaluate cryptocurrencies.

Okay, here's my Big Brain, 4D Chess take:

Elon Musk wanted to adopt Bitcoin, but he knew there was this big problem with energy consumption. It's bad for his brand, and perhaps goes against his own ethics. Could he say "hey, get the energy consumption down and I'll go all-in with Tesla"? People wouldn't think much of it.

Better option: Buy a huge stake in Bitcoin, announce that he'll be accepting bitcoin at Tesla, get people really excited, heat up the market, and then pull it out from under them. Now all of the big stakeholders in Bitcoin have a clear, almost measurable incentive to clean up bitcoin's act. If Bitcoin adopts proof-of-stake or whatever needs to happen to bring down energy consumption, people will look back and thank Elon Musk for it.
There are plenty of things a private citizen can do that a government entity cannot.
Yes, we have some photos on the website currently showing ANSI and ISO keyboard geometry. As we continue to add more keyboard languages, there will be both ANSI and ISO ones depending on the language (and JIS for Japan).

The touchpad is replaceable, though we don't currently have plans for alternate types.
if this works, holy shit
It's been 241 years since the first manned unpowered flight, in a hot air balloon. Granted that's a long way from getting anywhere on the planet, but I'm skeptical that 41 years after that event no one was thinking of flying.
This list should start with Encryption and have a long break before it continues.

How does this help with SEO? Won't your pages be too thin and suffer in Google's eyes? I thought rich content is the way to go.
I think one possible problem with this is that you don't really have the worldspace in the traditional sense, thus making many things like convincing reflections impossible. So probably they have to be rendered by the conventional pipeline, then augmented with the NN.
For anyone looking for a documentary on the Manhattan Project, I'd highly highly recommend The Day After Trinity, a documentary by Jon Else with a bunch of interviews of the original participants (it was made in 1980). Really fantastic look at the personalities behind all the science.
It seems pretty unlikely that someone who is already willing to commit a violent crime would care whether or not he violates a mask law.
Well put. The fundamentals are: pretty much everything in this world has a known fiat currency value.

The difference with BitCoin is that you can't go to a farmer and buy his goods, or pick up a used car, go to an auction, or take a wedge of greenbacks and disappear.

Until that becomes a ready reality, BitCoin is separate from actual trade, and completely vulnerable to speculation.

Currencies are a shared dream, stop believing and they Tinkerbell. That said, a BitCoin does have a definitive value, and won't go away. But it's certainly not $50k.
The point where Mars could be some sort of viable backup of anything on Earth is centuries and trillions of dollars away. Up until a Mars colony(ies) has enough local infrastructure and industry to be entirely self-sufficient it's survival will require access to Earth's infrastructure and industry.

Mars also has fewer natural protections than Earth: a thinner atmosphere, no magnetic field to speak of, and no giant moon that deflects or absorbs at least some percentage of objects that would otherwise impact Earth. So Mars is more susceptible to dangerous radiation and object impacts than Earth.

For the same cost outlay (or way less) as trying to make Mars an effective backup for Earth Earth could be made more robust and dedicated purpose-built backups could be created.

Mars as a backup of Earth is like a cheap eBay thumbdrive hanging from a wind chime on your patio is a backup for your data.
One other point of praise for this approach: being able to run in a web browser via Repl.it is a huge win given the combination of the rise of tablets, as well as the popularity of locked down Windows/Chromebook laptops for students. Many students today and more going forward may not have access to a PC/Mac that they could easily install Python on (or convince an adult to do it for them). Repl.it with the turtle graphics works just dandy on the Chrome browser for my 4 year old iPad Air (disclaimer - I'm a Repl.it subscriber).
I'd buy this in a heartbeat if I could get a guarantee that it would work well with Linux. Having Linux pre-installed is one way to signal confidence that it works well with Linux.
I think people are switching to Cardano because it has lower environmental impact (proof of stake) than others. The Tesla announcement was about the environmental cost of Bitcoin after all.
"Disproportionate" in raw numbers sure. Disproportionate in quality of life and lifestyle? lol 50% for the 1% is like "damn the government!" 50% for people under median salary is putting them into poverty and likely government assistance to get by.
Depends on the speed, but .7m/s^2 is a typical acceleration for trains. Cars can accelerate faster, and some trains can as well.

I just redid the math - to get to 300 km/h needs 4.8km, not 10 that I thought. Faster speeds need more distance or course. Hills also impact the distance needed. You also need to account for same safety distance for a lot of acceleration applications.
It does not take an event that makes Earth as inhospitable as Mars. It only needs to be bad enough to remove our capability to go beyond Earth to doom life to be limited to Earth itself. If life should persist in the long run, we need to start spreading it beyond Earth.

We might not colonize a neighbouring star system in the near or medium term future but I am convinced that if we do not start moving out into the solar system, we never will go anywhere else either.
Oh, you mean like Hunter's laptop?
I probably need to read the report to get more information, but I'm just having trouble visualizing this hypothetical future where we need a swarm of autonomous agents to identify their own targets and threats at all level without any human intervention, and where any manual control would be too limiting. There are circumstances, like CIWS or CRAM systems automatically shooting down incoming munitions, where that comes in handy. I'd also be more comfortable with putting autonomy in the hand of anti-aircraft systems (either SAMs or UAVs). In that case you can program in parameters and I can trust a machine to reliably stick to those parameters. But if we're talking about a machine gun mounted on an unmanned ground vehicle? If you really need to shave off that second or two of human reaction time, that's not a real battle, that's a showdown from a Western movie. I don't think it's too much effort to send a quick picture to a human, or have a human being specify where they can engage and for how long for area suppression.

I think it will be multiple decades before AI has progressed to the point where I'd trust it to correctly identify enemy soldiers vs non-combatants as well or better than a human being. Fortunately, I think it will be even longer before that's something we need.

> Profiling based on installed apps

> most browsers have safety mechanisms in place designed to prevent such exploits. Weaknesses in these safety mechanisms are what makes this vulnerability possible.

> By specification, extensions need to be able to open custom URLs, such as mailto: links, without confirmation dialogs. The scheme flood protection conflicts with extension policies so there is a loophole that resets this flag every time any extension is triggered

If true, this sounds worse revelation than the exploit itself. Disabling a flag temporarily sounds bad, regardless of whether a vulnerability exists.
The text of the US constitution explicitly talks about the rights of people, not citizens - so I would argue that the constitution itself has always prohibited this.

However, there is a long history of interpreting 'people' to mean specific groups - from only white people to only citizens.
Not if they steal vehicle lanes to do it like they did in my town.
I think we absolutely can travel to another star system. But more critically, this argument strikes me as goal post moving by space settlement skeptics: mass transport to Mars is increasingly appearing to be feasible, so we’ll put the goal posts on Proxima b.

The exploitation argument doesn’t make any sense because Mars doesn’t have any resources that would really make sense to ever bring back to Earth, except as a side product. It’s a new home like an island in the Pacific for the Polynesians. I don’t consider Polynesians settling uninhabited new islands to be objectionable at all, but instead an expression of what makes humanity wonderful. Preservation of a dead rock for preservation’s sake makes no sense. It’s treating stasis as better than life, and I just can’t get behind that.
I can help Facebook with this. Stop using traditional recruiters to find people for this. Advertise exclusively on 4chan. Yes, this will come with other risks but the moderators will not be traumatized. This will just be another day on the internet. Have the moderators utilize a group voting and incentivizing system to remove content so that those too desensitized or into the content won't just ignore it. Better yet, add an achievement system for those finding the content worth the most points. Let them earn ranks and titles. What should the monthly winner with the most achievement points get?
One thing I'd do with a deep space mission design is to design as many interchangeable parts as possible, even among unrelated systems.

For example, use bolts that are all the same thread size. Use the same embedded system boards and chips. Use the same electric motors. The same fan blades.

Remember the Apollo 13 mission where they had two CO2 filtering systems, but the cartridges for them were unnecessarily incompatible.
one thing i think about, is hiring entire teams or groups at least of two to three instead of poaching just one person from a competitor/etc.
I mean, let's address the elephant in the room: there is no such thing as computer security. As we see with new leaks and hacks and vulnerabilities every single week, the idea that a computer that is connected to the Internet can be secure is a joke. The whole industry is built on protocols and tools that assume there will never be any bad actors, and we're reaping the rewards of that now. It will take decades of layering on band-aids to approach anything like security, and more likely we will have to rebuild the entire industry from the ground up without that assumption. Both will take a very long time and a lot of money. Hiring some guy with an infosec cert would not have stopped this attack, because there is no way to stop this kind of attack.
The problem you're describing is real and something that needs to be resolved.

I'm assuming six months ago you would have told someone to wear a mask because that's what science says. Now you're ignoring the science to make a statement. Was it lip-service and posturing 6 months ago or is it now? Do you value science or not?

You're telling the anti-mask/anti-vax people that yes it really was just bullshit and it was never really about science.
Why? Say you live in or near Atlanta, the rate paid to (on site) employees in Atlanta is less than the rate paid to (on site) employees in SF (I think this is true for pretty much every FAANG).

Just restarted being serious, kind of, at photography with a D200, 18-140 Nikkor and a FX Tamron up to 300. And the pictures are nice! I guess cameras, especially sensors, got good enough around 2010 to not make that much of a difference anymore. Which leaves lenses, like always. And the difference between FX and DX. I don't think Nikon will go under so. There lenses are decent, as are the Z-series bodies. And then there are people like me, that won't switch to another brand. Of the big three so, I do see Nikon the weakest. Not because of their products, but because Sony and Canon have additional revenue streams to cameras. If Nikon goes under, that would be quite said so. And the time to gear up maybe faster on a Z mount system. One can dream of a Z7 and and Z6II, can't one?

This is brand new information.
There is some common perception that an educated person is automatically a moral person. I can see why on average it could increase chances a bit, but my life experience contradicts this quite a bit. Upbringing, general environment and society, the rewards morality brings bear make much bigger impact. I would say even traveling the world, especially the not-so-nice parts and meeting poor ie via backpacking, has much bigger effect on personality than education.

Just one example out of many - last weekend had long conversation with very successful and very smart urology surgeon here in Switzerland, where he repeatedly stated how covid is great and godsend and mankind should be culled, too bad that not more are dying from it etc.

The same person who in his early 30s is quite a bit overweight, has type 3 diabetes, can't handle physical effort, passed to his kid some genetic abnormality and if he got covid he would probably have some serious issues.

I couldn't change his opinion a nanometer. A doctor. Needless to say my faith in humanity decreased a bit on that evening.

There were opportunists on both sides but the blockstream people argued that purely observational non-mining nodes somehow 'secure' the network despite having no effect and need to be possible to run with a non-broadband connection and less than 100GB of free disk space. Satoshi himself in the Bitcoin whitepaper estimated higher bandwidth and storage requirements for nodes than what the blockstream employed devs said were too high. The point of Wall Street getting involved was to kill Bitcoin as a currency and turn it into a pure speculator's playground. (aka bitcoin as gold)
