> "Germany went the renewable path and their annual energy sector emissions are about 300 million tons of CO2."

Not really. They held on hard to gas and coal power. Of the latter, a disturbing amount is still based on lignite or brown coal, which is more accurately described as "somewhat combustible dirt".

Germany is not nearly as dedicated to green energy as they would like the world to think. They shut down their nuclear sector due to fear, and primarily replaced it with more fossil energy.

I do agree that nuclear power is something we should be more positive towards, but that does not invalidate renewable energy sources.

It may be an 'older model' but it's only from 2019. It's only one year behind the current 16" MBP. So I think comparing a 2 year old top of the line, maxed out MBP to a current lowest end entry level MBP, and see the low end model blow away the high end maxed out beast, is a reasonable thing to be impressed with.

That, plus finding beans that were roasted in the last couple of weeks instead of having a "best used by" date that is twelve months out. I wish every roaster would switch to a "roasted on" date instead, but the ones that do are doing it right.

The data protection laws are bad enough locally, having to also have the US in the mix would make it impossible to comprehend and try to control what goes where.

I'm both in the "I have nothing to hide but I can't tell the future" and the "my data is pretty useless but fuck no I'm not going to let Apple/Google/Facebook make money from my data without my say so" camps.

Besides that (and suddenly it becomes geopolitical) I dislike the US (not the people, the system) and if this is the only way I can tell the giant bully to F off, even though it will go unnoticed, well so be it.

One example is to "inherit" class styles.

E.g. let's say I have some html like <p class="warning">be very careful<p> and there is some 3rd party CSS that already has nice styling for a warning paragraph. But it uses .warn as a class, not .warning.

I don't want to change my HTML and I also don't want to copy the style.
I want to tell CSS that my own .warning should inherit the style of .warn (and maybe adjust it slightly if necessary)

That is (to my knowledge) currently not possible.

This certainly does not explain having such laws in the vast areas of the US that doesn't have such a homeless problem. While I know there are homeless folks everywhere, it isn't such an issue to pass special drinking laws.

I think your drinking laws are more rooted in conservative Christianity and disdain for poor folks that might just drink up their welfare money somehow.

The question is whether the stuff to be assigned (or not) belongs to the individuals or their employers. An assignment from someone who isn't actually entitled to assign away something (because they don't own it in the first place) is useless.

I'd recently bought a Nvidia Shield Tablet, did not tried games but since Krita has an Android version imho it is a big plus for the device, where the default Dabbler painting app was good too, but Krita is much a pro tool (imho again, I'm not a pro too :)). E.g. the feeling is way better in my opinion (on Dabbler can' t get no wobbly lines).
I'd also read about Valve and the Nintendo Switch, this latter to have an Oled display, wich is the only thing that might be missing on the ol' Shield... I did not understood if it will use the newest Nvidia Mx.
Hopefully they' ll add some tool for drawing :D.
> I'm assuming that that hasn't been used in this case because the intention here is actually to lock the owner out and only allow the manufacturer access to change the device. Is that the case?

No the intention is to lock out functionality. Either programming code that can't be decrypted without secure boot actually booting security, or access to remote networks. That second one is where the controversy comes in because it means if the owner of the device is Netflix (or FB/Youtube/HBO/...) and the network is owned by Netflix you cannot change anything on the device in your house and still watch Netflix.

Because of this locking out functionality it is referred to as "rendering your device useless". It can of course still do everything it can do, at the owner's request, just not with Netflix' data.
... or watch replays of most epic rounds?
Just wow... I guess you would have different sentiment if you would be on the poor side of the inequality scale. Sentiment about poverty being good because it gives 'vastly different life experiences'?

One of the things we can be actually proud here in Europe (mainly western part though), a rather strong middle class and tons of help to the poor (maybe too much according to some).

I know its nice to find cheap poor folks desperate to work for peanuts, and you can pat yourself in the back how the environment gives everybody a chance to thrive, but that's not an American reality, just a self-perpetuating pipe dream.

US is great for the ultra-rich, good for the rich, not-so-good for middle class and outright shit for the poor. But good luck trying to get this accepted in the US where folks are spoon-fed from the childhood how US is best in everything, rather than some healthy amount of critical thinking.

Generally everybody, but in my humble experience Americans (and French) especially, profit greatly when (have been) living abroad for some time. Then we can have actual conversations what is great here and there and what outright sucks.
What Is Polygon (Matic)?
I actually think I largely agree with the points that you made in the comment thread above. The name of the game can't be to just map a deep neural network to a SNN, I find it far more interesting to identify more natural mechanisms by which SNNs are able to perform information processing on sparse asynchronous event-based data.

I'd agree with most of those (with the caveat they don't have the same direct link with misery, mental illness, violence, crime and general anti-social behaviour) but don't see how us accepting them is justification for accepting alcohol beyond a defeatist "it all sucks so why bother".

Neither was I talking about physical dependency particularly; I see enough people failing miserably on simple stuff like dry January ("ha ha I only lasted 3 days" and the like) to be extremely sceptical that it is as easy as you imply to walk away from, especially in a society which surrounds us with it and sells it as "social" and normal.
> Important to keep in mind the "size" of the experiment. Two interesting quotes from the article in c't magazine:

>> twelve participants would be asked to come to Hanover.

It's a mistake to apply vanilla statistical thinking here. The 12 participants were not randomly drawn from the German population, they were extremely skewed towards enthusiasts/professionals: audio engineers, an owner of an actual Nautilus 801, someone who worked on MP3/AAC at Fraunhofer IIS, someone who works preparing masters for Deutsche Gramophon. If these are the people who have enormous difficulty distinguishing 256kbps MP3 from the CD original, I'm certainly not going to worry that I am going to miss out on anything with 256kbps MP3.

If 12 Grand Slam participants tell me they can't tell the difference between a standard $100 and a $1000 high end tennis racket, I'm not going to delude myself into thinking that it's going to make any difference for me.
It is a great book. Unfortunately, here in Germany it is hard to apply due to generic lack of demand in high level software consulting.

Let me first check if I understand your argument correctly:
You are saying that my argument is wrong because subsidies to something like agriculture while also not directly encouraging fossil fuel usage, can potentially increase the CO2 output overall. Because subsidies are changing (lowering) prices, so they influence the behaviour of customers.

I partially agree. If your subsidies are helping parts of the agriculture that are more polluting than the industry average, then you are increasing the environmental pollution.

But this does not apply to my argument for 2 reasons:
1. I am talking about bailouts. They rather don't influence the long-term prices of flights. They are one time thing, intended to help some companies not die.
2. Even the agriculture subsidies you mention I would not call "fossil fuel commitments", which is misleading. Better name for them is something like "subsidies that encourage pollution" or "subsidies that encourage increase CO2 emissions".
Just because one is retired, doesn't mean they stopped working completely and they're just partying non-stop. If you're always on vacation you're never on vacation. Being retired means one chooses how much to work, with whom, for how long etc.

Justin Hall registered bud.com in 1994 when he was a 19-year-old intern working at Wired Magazine. He also published "Justin's Links from the Underground" at links.net, becoming one of the internet's earliest bloggers.

Instead of selling out to Budweiser for peanuts, he stashed it away safely in a cool dry place for later. Now he runs Bud.com as a California benefit corporation delivering recreational cannabis!

History of bud.com:

https://bud.com/history-of-bud-com/

>I was 19 years old, working as an intern at Wired Magazine in San Francisco. We were launching arguably the first commercial publication on the web; we ran the first banner ads. I learned how to register domains in that office, and I didn’t register very many. I was depressed that justin.com was taken; instead I got justin.org & links.net – both pointed to my personal web site.

>A whois lookup shows I registered bud.com on 2 December 1994. It was free to claim; no one had used it before. I had to write a letter explaining what I was going to use it for. I can’t remember what I said I was going to use it for, but I liked pot and I liked the internet so it was fun to have this great, short domain name. I immediately made my email address justin at buddotcom which I’ve used since then. [...]

>In 1999 I was contacted by a lawyer Steven M. Weinberg, representing Anheuser-Busch, makers of Bud beer. We chatted by phone: “So, you’re a college student!” Actually I graduated the year before.

>He continued: “Well, how does $50,000 sound for bud.com?”

>I replied that $50k should be the interest generated by the money someone pays for bud.com. This is a three letter, actual word, dot com domain, and if I’m going to see it on every beer can you make forever, I should at least be well compensated. I remember reading that the marketing budget for Budweiser beer that quarter was $16.1 million. BUD was the company’s stock symbol.

>I wasn’t going to sell lightly, and they weren’t going to bid against themselves, so we didn’t get anywhere.

I should clarify that my dislike of YearMonth and ilks is for standard types without any localization [1] or non-Gregorian support. They do crop up from time to time but you have a very straightforward representation of YearMonth in any reasonable language: a pair of (year, month), essentially interpreted as a mixed-radix number. Date and general date-time components are not that simple (thanks to the calendar system itself, leap seconds and time zones) and deserves separate types.

[1] I firmly believe that the localization support is too large for standard libraries. In particular, that "localization support" usually means that you have a ripoff version of CLDR & ICU interface and no equivalent to something like gettext, essential to any actual localization task.
I got to hear the sennheiser orpheus a few years ago. Honestly it was kind of underwhelming.

It is a very physically beautiful headphone but in terms of sound, it's kind of warm with a slight haze and indistinctness in the treble. That might be pleasant for some people, but I think any modern electrostat like the L700 or SR009 would outperform it significantly if you put them side by side. I assume its value is due mostly to its rarity.
However, they are incredibly cheap nowadays.
