This is the fundamental problem with carbon credits. There is currently no wide scale production system for scrubbing CO2 from the atmosphere. Because of this, the price of the carbon credits is set arbitrarily by politicians. It's meaningless.

A carbon market only works if there are sellers. Companies that sequester carbon for X dollars per ton so producers need to buy enough credits to cover their emissions. There could even be competition as people find more efficient ways to remove carbon from the atmosphere. Currently the whole thing is a big game that nobody takes seriously. It is a game because if we actually priced in the cost of scrubbing CO2 from the atmosphere using current technologies no fossil fuel industries would be competitive. It would threaten the gravy train for people like Rex Tillerson, so it's a nonstarter politically.

Vienna's Seestadt Aspern fits that description and seems to me like a very good attempt at building a "new town" with its own centre and infrastructure.

It's only a short train ride away from Vienna's center, but so are many other small towns and those are decidedly separate.
maybe instead of hipster dotcom moving everywhere in hoards, they could just use their smug talents, intelligence and rsu wealth to start building their own towns?

i mean, how many googlers and facebook engineers would it take to build a small, cool, hip town, with $20 grilled cheese and artisan everything?
Many people are asking: Why government should regulate finance?

In the US you should look at the so-called free-banking era (1837–1864) or the crisis era (1782–1930). Btw. Free banking didn't mean no rules. It just meant that there was no charter or permission is needed to start a bank,

Finance was basically free for all. Easy to get in. Constant stream of economic recessions and banking crises harmed everyone. Wildcat banking increased incentives for risk-taking and fraud to high levels. It hindered economic growth, destroyed wealth of may hard working individuals.

The US has huge financial industry partly because the regulation is so extensive. People from all over the world invest their money in the US because they know what when liquidity crisis happens, they still get their money back.
> If you cross reference walkscore against our metropolitan areas in the US walkable cities (that are in warm climates) are our most valuable real estate... not to mention that they are the location for most of our companies participating in the "information economy" (military-industrial complex aside).

> Basically most Americans want to live in a walkable city with charm and community, but the way we built America post 1950 makes it very difficult.

How do you know that this means Americans want to live in that style, versus that high concentration fosters today's thriving companies and job markets, and so the people follow the jobs at the expense of cheaper and more desirable housing? Single family homes reduce walkability for everyone else, but are more valuable than a condo next door in those thriving American cities. The ultimate desire is to have your cake and eat it too.

And that economic value and company presence aspect argues against forming new small towns - the $$$ shows that all the desire and demand is in bigger metro areas, right now.

Why do you say CryEngine is not very good? I don't have any experience with the dev side, but I used to follow engine tech and CryEngine was (historically, at least) ahead of the competition in rendering large, luscious outdoor environments. These are generally regarded as difficult in software compared to the more static, geometric indoor environments common in earlier technology.

One lesson I learned is that integrity itself isn't objective, at all. Everyone thinks they have high integrity, and it's easy to rationalize another person's actions as stemming from integrity if they are acting in your interests. When it comes down to it, as you state, you can't really grok a person until you are in a crisis. Similarly, it's hard to grok your own beliefs about what makes for integrity until such a crisis.

For example, a company usually has a mission. At the same time, up to a point a CEO has a duty to his/her employees' well being. In a crisis, these may be in conflict. And in a crisis it can be very hard to tell if a decision cutting one way or the other is stemming from expediency, a conflict of interest, on-the-job evolution of a person's values, or an underlying consistent principled view that is now manifesting in action. (The last of which is what one would arguably point at as the person demonstrating integrity.)
So... a secretive group of artists could build a town, live there 'til the word gets out, sell at 10x the price, and move on to the next secret location? This sounds like a fun way to live.
Genetics are a powerful thing. Trying to be actively healthy is playing a statistical game, not all of us have the magical genetic sequences to somehow live to 100 in perfect health while drinking copious amounts of wine.

Furthermore some of us exercise not just for the sake of it, we do it to enable us to become better at activities that we enjoy. I enjoy being able to track my measurable improvement at sports such as tennis and badminton as a result of my going to the gym and work on high intensity interval training, anaerobics, etc.
I've never used Unreal, but the GP is absolutely correct in regard to Unity. It is subject to so much churn, and the main architecture is so flawed, the best way to use the engine is to use it the least possible, as basically a glorified renderer and main loop.

The best quote I've seen comes from a comment on a feedback request thread [0] on the Unity Reddit, from andybak:

> It seems that everything that's working is deprecated and everything that's current is unfinished.

The features touted to be the "correct"/"current" way to use the engine are supremely half-baked, and the "old" ways are so inefficient and still buggy after all these years, that I have no words to describe.

I'm basically on the prowl to jump ship to Godot immediately when 4.0 arrives with the new renderer (the current release is not terribly efficient for 3D). It has its warts too, but at least it's architecturally sound, and the source code is very agreeable for someone not very familiar with C++.

I don't think the issue is brainy people doing those jobs per se, it's brainy people spending years and a small fortune for a degree, and then end up performing that kind of work anyways.

I would guess working class white people in the 1950s US were overall more content than today, even though many fewer of them had college degrees. They were happy performing "sustenance work", because they were able to start those jobs out of high school, support a family, buy a house, etc.

(Massive caveat for the people who were excluded from this system back then.)
Lets do this example in Java (but it should be simple enough that C#, Python, Javascript and other programmers would understand it).

public void myFunction(FooObject o){
o.doSomething();
}

How does the compiler know if "FooObject o" is a singleton or not? That's the thing about the "Singleton" pattern, you have an effective "global-ish" variable, but all of your code is written with normal pass-the-object style.

EDIT: If you're not aware, the way this works is that you call myFunction(getTheSingleton());, where "getTheSingleton()" fetches the Singleton object. myFunction() has no way of "knowing" its actually interacting with the singleton. This is a useful pattern, because you can create unit-tests over the "global" variable by simply mocking out the Singleton for a mock object (or maybe an object with preset state for better unit testing). Among other benefits (but also similar downsides to using a global variable: difficult to reason because you have this "shared state" being used all over the place)

And do you have any idea how many animals there are in China? There's 1.4 billion people to start with. There's 100 to 100,000 more vertebrates than people in the world. Take even 50,000 samples and you're still barely scraping the surface.
Marfa is the same population as advised in this article but it's ten times larger.

There are plenty of recent examples of development on the scale that this article suggests. The area just to the west of Warm Springs BART station in Fremont, California is 90 acres. The New Urbanist polestar of Hercules, California is about 150 acres.
To split hairs, Singapore is a one-party police state, but it's not totalitarian.

A totalitarian state directs all of its population's efforts in pursuit of state goals. The USSR during WWII (Or during the civil war, or during the years in between the civil war and WWII) would strongly qualify - and between Stalin's death, and Glasnost, would semi-strongly qualify. North Korea would strongly qualify. Singapore, modern Russia, or modern-day China would not, because most activity that takes place in them is undirected market economics. They have a few directed economic areas, deemed of import to the state, but for the majority of activity taking place in them, the state is not involved significantly closer than it is in western countries.

Here is a list of 200 most popular books sold at Ozon, the biggest on-line retailer in Russia:

https://www.ozon.ru/highlight/top-200-knig-po-mneniyu-chitat...

Of the Top-12, 6 to 8 are some form of a self-help book:

* 1st: The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fck.

2nd: Say Yes To Life, a self-help book from an Austrian Holocaust surviver.

* 4th: Ben Graham's Intelligent Investor.

* 5th: A Russian-author book on the art of "convincing" & "influencing" people (sound familiar?).

* 6th: Another American book, "Radical Forgiveness: A Guide to Spiritual Healing"

* 8th: Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.

* 11th: Women Who Love Too Much: If Love is Causing Suffering. Also a US book.

* 12th: Atlas Shrugged. I suppose it's not a self-help book, but it's very much in line with the spirit of "open-your-eyes" literature.

* If you go down the list, there is a bunch of other titles like Rich Dad Poor Dad, the full set of Nassim Taleb's quasi self-improvement books, etc.

We can sort of argue whether some of these books are self-help adjacent or not (like Ben Graham or Nassim Taleb), but the trend is clear: self-improvement literature is very popular in Russia.

This shows that the self-help cottage industry is not limited to the US. I think people just like the idea of self-improvement.

The needlessly exclusive nature of the Ivy League underpins a gross fear of the elites in the egality of education.

> Will Russia be cooperative/respectful of this regulation?

I'd be fine with Russia and any other rogue financial state actors being cut out of the global financial system entirely if they're going to value relatively small-time money laundering over legitimate business. No loss there.

> I must say that I also think having anonymous currency (cash, crypto, etc) is fundamentally healthy for society on the balance. So am biased against solutions that would further it's knee-capping.

I'm honestly not seeing it. Crypto has been around for long enough to take an clear-eyed appraisal of its utility, and what I've seen has been primarily speculation (a worthless drag on society), with a smaller but hugely significant factor in enabling highly scalable criminal activity (more drag on society), and various other negatives. It has enabled a plethora of scams, shielded bad actors, and to the average person it has created pretty much zero utility.

There could be some good uses! I look at crypto like roads - yeah, it'd be great if we could all just drive anything we like, anywhere we like, at any speed, without regard for anyone else. However, to make roads a safe place for everyone and minimize negative externalities, we have traffic controls, licensing, emissions controls, and safety standards. Right now the crypto world is the equivalent of a small number of people driving around in tanks, occasionally running over a crowd of people, with no highway patrols able to do anything about it.
Unfortunately, no country would do it on its own, knowing that a neighbor could have an economic advantage. By making it a global problem with a global treaty, it makes everyone accountable. Like the Cold War weapons race: until the Arm treaty, it was going nowhere. Me and my neighbors driving an electric car won't make a difference until oil companies feel the pressure from international laws
I believe this comes from confusion between freedom as a choice with consequences, and freedom as a choice without consequences.

The latter definition has taken hold over the last few decades because it is seen as offensive to reinforce good choices. Suggesting that people maintain a good diet and exercise is seen as offensive to obese people. Suggesting that people marry a good, stable partner before having children is seen as offensive to single mothers. Suggesting that people focus on jobs and careers that provide stable income is seen as crushing someone's self-actualized aspirations. And suggesting that any of these groups be responsible for the outcomes of their choices is unthinkable.

When such basic advice is off-limits, what cultural infrastructure could we possibly have?

I recently had a very large kidney stone and let me tell you... It was bad enough to make me vomit. In cases like this it would be great to be able to self-medicate the pain.

However, I can also see how it could be abused to say "ah, it's not that bad" and not have the problem resolved. In my case, it could lead to permanent kidney damage.
From a simple mass ratio perspective, these robots and a human probably carry about the same amount of stuff. Moving a few kg of robot units versus 80 kg of standard white male units, I can see the efficiency gain there. That is of course just one aspect, but I think you're being a bit quick to jump to guessing about conclusions of it being 'significantly' worse.

Novelizations and (less commonly) comic-adaptations of films filled this role generally, before home video releases were common & affordable. The Star Wars novelization, for example, didn't sell well because it was a great book, but because most kids couldn't re-watch the movie every single day like they could when the VHS releases came out, so they'd instead read a $1.25 mass-market paperback until it fell apart. They were chiefly memory-refreshers for the actual film. There was even a brief span of time in which audio versions (often of the film itself, not necessarily of the novelization, so, not exactly an "audio book") helped filled this role for some films, because audio cassettes & stereos/walkmans were more widely available & affordable than video decks.

Maybe I'm imagining it, but I wanna say there were things like re-cap books for seasons of shows like The X-Files, even, because home-video copies of entire shows were prohibitively expensive for all but the craziest fans. That's also part of what coffee-table type books about shows & movies were for—lore & encyclopedic content mixed with stills and what were effectively plot and episode summaries.
The Bering land bridge disappeared 11,000 years ago. The earliest human major settlements were formed about 6000 years ago, in Mesopotamia.

Your whole timescale is wrong. We’re not talking about humans. We’re talking about settled civilizations.

Things didn’t fluctuate very much since 9000 BCE, when the Bering land bridge went away. All of recorded history is since then.

As for recent history it’s only really since 2000 we’ve burst out of that range. There was fluctuation before but within the post 9000 BCE norms.

There is no difference between the XSS, CSRF and SQL vulnerabilities of classic ASP and ASP.NET. See

Correct. OpenGL, Vulkan and libs like SFML, SDL, Allegro are some of the choices that people like me use. Of course there are million media frameworks with bindings for a lot of languages. You can do whatever you want really.

Yep, that's why I included the dentist example. So maybe, if the town actually succeeds in attracting and retaining a dentist, people don't need to leave town for that service. But there are many other services people want or need, some of which won't be available locally. It's a big world out there, but cars have made it so much smaller. I'd imagine people in this town would still be constantly hopping in their cars to run to Costco, go on dates, take grandma to chemo, etc.

There's a reason most car-less Americans live in NYC, DC, SF, etc. You can get everything you need there without a car. Small-town America does not offer the same and I doubt this idea would change that.
> If we're not in pain, we're not alive.

That's a silly assertion. Pain isn't a hallmark of life--physical, mental, or otherwise. There's no 'merit' to it.

There are plenty of organisms without pain receptors that are definitely alive.

Pain doesn't correlate with how alive we are or the worth of our lives. Chronic pain sufferers would certainly rather not have pain.
sure, that's fine. the problem arises when politicians state that things must be done by x date or y year or else we're going to have a CLIMATE CATASTROPHE, because the models say so. models can't predict anything like this

Also i highly doubt india’s government is democratically elected, given the huge numbers of people left behind and rampant corruption. A shame for a country with such rich history.
