If the argument currently is that solar, etc is cheaper than coal, then why would we need to subsidize this when the obvious financial choice for poorer countries is green energy? Why would the poor country use coal, etc when it costs more? The argument doesn't make sense. It's one or the other.

As far as the per-capita argument the US has been falling heavily while China is still accelerating. How much of US consumption goes the the rest of the world? That's not a solid argument for some sort of global warming reparations. The US gives tons of money in foreign aid to other countries, while other wealthy countries do nothing at all. Why is this all the US's responsibility? Why are people so hesitant to hold heavy polluters like China/India/etc responsible?
The article directly contradicts your assessment, though of course it is still unverified.

> the imminent ESNI standard has that one covered, too.

Too slow, I'm afraid. Word on the street is that any hello containing ESNI will be blocked from day one in too many places for it to ever get traction, including all of China. I believe draft ESNI is blocked by the GFOC today.

To even have a chance of making ESNI/ECH widespread, you'd have to make it mandatory for all TLS. That wouldn't fly politically in the working group, because the "enterprise" people have at least some influence there, and they want to do exactly the same kinds of DPI that North Korea would want to do. Even if it came out mandatory on the standards track, it would probably still fail at this point.

It might have worked if it'd been mandatory in TLS 1.2 or even TLS 1.3, but it seems too late now.

We'll see if they also disrupt DoH to the point of making it unusable. I bet they at least give it a try.
>Scientifically speaking you would be correct to say that there is no evidence that chemical X is harmful.

I wouldn't say that's true, if chemicals with a similar structure are harmful then there's weak but real evidence that X is harmful too.
> But concentration to this degree practically requires government force to survive.

Presumably, there would be government (or equivalent force) to enforce the private property rights? So I am not sure how that addresses the problem I outlined. And how do you make sure this force doesn't become corrupt?

> I don't believe deference to authority can ever bring them about. Authority always ends up corrupt.

Here's the thing. I believe there is a third option that is outside the "capitalist" spectrum which I am talking about (the liberal society of freely trading men who each have plot of land vs authoritarian society of landed gentry as a result of capital accumulation).

And that 3rd option is keeping wealth within certain limits by democratic control, through for example progressive taxes on either income or wealth, and redistribution of this to people who lost all (or most of) property, or just everybody in equal manner. Like a basic income that would be financed by the richest. See, this solution is different from both ends of the spectrum, and sidesteps the authoritarian problem (there is no decision to be made about where the money are going, there is a simple rule how they are redistributed, and this rule is agreed by consensus). The government that in libertarianism has to exist to enforce property rights could as well enforce this redistribution.
Hey I don't make the rules - but if I don't play by them I lose a place I really wanted to live in. Sucks, but that's life.
As I understand it the things copilot tries to do is automate the loop of “Google your problem, find a Stack Overflow answer, paste in the code from there into my editor”. In that sense, the burden of whether the license of the code being copy pasted is on the person who answered the SO question and on me. If this literally was what copilot did, nobody would bat an eye that some code it produced was GPL or any other license because it wouldn’t be copilot’s problem.

No let’s substitute a different database of for the code that isn’t SO. It doesn’t really matter if that database is a literal RDBMS, a giant git repo or is encoded as a neural net. All copilot is going to do is perform a search in that database, find a result and paste it in. The burden of licensing is still on me to not use GPL code and possibly on the person hosting the database.

The gotcha here is that copilot’s database is a neural network. If you take GPL code and feed it as training data to a neural network to create essentially a lookup table along with non-GPL code did you just create a derived work? It is unclear to me whether you did or not. In particular, can they neural network itself be considered “source code”?
Does anything in this study confirm that personalized treatment or any cancer treatment is moving the needle? The minor decrease in overall cancer rate seems to be driven by fewer diagnoses rather than increased survival, at least for lung cancer, which is the single biggest change. Skin cancer death rate is lower and that does coincide with the one major technological advancement against cancer that has happened in decades: immune checkpoint inhibitors. Immune checkpoint inhibitors are not very personalized. In general personalized corresponds to a focus on cancer genetics and has had an extremely disappointing outcome (helps a few percent of people a lot or helps more just a little) compared to what was hoped for.
My point exactly. Copilot is innocent in that case just like the browser.
What I'm curious about is whether anyone is even working on theoretical versions of such "magic" solutions. I think the public and even governments have some expectation that "someone" is working on solutions that don't require sacrifice - but are we?

When I was still formatting code manually (... -ish; emacs did a lot of the tedious work for me) I eventually settled on a style very similar to your four-argument example, precisely because it makes diffs easier to read.

For the same reason, I asciibetically sorted things when it made sense.

Now I use prettier and black and I'm mostly satisfied by them, but their reflow behavior puts the lie to "[black] makes code review faster by producing the smallest diffs possible."

>Drinking water appears to stimulate thermogenesis, or heat production, in the body, particularly when it's chilled. The body has to expend energy to warm the fluid to body temperature, and the more energy expended by your body, the faster your metabolism

We did the math on the "ice cube diet" in high school physics; the energy required to melt the ice was only a few calories. Not the Kilocalories listed on food labels- actual calories 1/1000th of that unit.

If there's an effect here, it's not from heating the water.
Not sure if it's still on offer, but search for the Eudyptula Challenge maybe.

I didn't like it personally but YMMV.
Ah, yes. The mode that fills the elevator with vinegar and waits for the passengers to ferment.
> but you are still entitled to what you receive

That's the difference. With an insurance contract you are entitled to a payout when the conditions are met because the insurance company agreed to that as part of the contract. The only things you are entitled to are yourself, whatever you can homestead with your labor from unclaimed land, and what others voluntarily agree to give you. Insurance payments and every other form of voluntary contract fall into this last category.

> A handout is when someone gives you something you are not entitled to of their own free will. They can stop giving it to you at any time.

"Social safety nets" are not something you are entitled to. The government grants or denies them of their own free will (albeit using others' money). They can be reduced or revoked at any time, or extra conditions can be imposed for claiming them, and you would have no grounds to sue for compensation over those changes, despite having paid taxes to fund prior payments to others.

This is not true. Apple does not say your phone is a brick and they don't destroy old devices. They disassemble them and re-use the working components to build remanufactured devices for warranty use. They literally have multi-million dollar machines that are built specifically to be able to take apart old iPhones component by component to allow them to be reused or reintegrated into the manufacturing process for warranty devices.

This is the kind of stuff I talk about when I say that people like you are hurting the R2R movement. Either you're not aware of these things or you're intentionally being misleading to try and push people into supporting R2R. In both cases, you're doing a disservice to the discussion.

> On a carbon-per-person metric, private jets are literally the worst.

Depends what you consider a "jet". There are a lot of aicraft in GA aviation that consume fuel at the same amount/km as a car, while not contributing to carbon emissions by sitting in traffic. Many of them also burn regular gasoline as fuel.
A lot of it is highly manual on the back end, calling and faxing random state agencies. It’s not like it’s a 90% operating margin business or a lot of companies would be getting in and driving pricing down.
> Losing weight is just consuming fewer calories than you burn.

A lot of people consumed more calories in their 20s and 30s than later in life. Yet in their 40s and 50s they gain weight, with the same sedentary lifestyle or even after taking up a sport.

Something is missing in your equation ...
I'm pretty sure the significance of a proposed bill is rather different from the EU than in typical democratic countries like say the UK, US or Canada. In most democracies any elected politician can propose a bill, and so they often do purely as a form of showboating to the electorate even if there's no chance it'll get passed. Within the EU, only the small, powerful and very much non-elected European Commission can propose new laws, and they don't generally have anyone to showboat to - as a general rule, I think if they propose something it's done with the intention of it becoming law and it usually does unless there's some actual, strong, substantial objection to it from some other group with the power to stop it.
I have a similar story. I got married and my wife moved to my state and was in the middle of the process of getting a license when COVID hit. She had gotten a learner's permit to practice for the driving test, and it expired but got extended due to COVID. We decided it was finally time to sort out the mess.

However, to get that learner's permit required her to take a couple written tests. We were told she would have to retake those tests because the software had them down as expired. Then when she went to take the test, they told her she didn't need to because she had already taken them! Our second visit they finally sorted it out but we had to wait multiple hours while they got managers involved to assist us.
So go to Apple or an authorised servicer to get it repaired?
totally agree with the article

in addition I've found my body abilty to handle dehydration drops with age, this is magnified with the day after drinking alcohol - drink water

for me, I go for a minimum of about 1 litre/ 1.75 uk pints/ 2 US pints first thing in the morning, then the same again around 2pm and then about a litre in the evening (soda based)

I can only do this if the water is at room temperature (I'm UK based so not hot here)

something the article does not say is that food has a lot of water in it as well - think soup or eating tomatoes etc.. also adds massively to your daily in take
I think the person you are replying to is surprised that a landlord would bother reporting that information to a credit agency. I have never heard of that, and after using some of the bigger name property management companies in my area as both a renter and landlord, it just isn't normal here.
You can do that because the order in which libraries are passed to the linker is something you can control. Of course linkers don't have to do this, and future versions can do something different, but it works and the rules for gcc are currently "the order in which the libraries are passed to g++ when linking", which is defined. Of course gcc has the right to change those rules (I suspect the real rules are a bit more complex)

Gcc also has the concept of weak symboles which if invoked (and the linker supports it) would allow you to make one of the two weaker than the others and then the whole doesn't depend on link order. Visual C++ also seems to have something like this, but I'm sure it is different.

Like I said, I want to write a paper to make it defined - but the paper will be a lot longer than would fit in a response here, and depending on information that I currently don't know.
No doubt there are a lot of "self help" books that are a scam - but that's true for a lot of genres.

A lot of the criticisms seem highly dubious e.g. is this really true?

Altogether seems more like a rant than reasoned criticism.

BTW the list of books cited as an example of the 'scam' includes "Thinking, Fast and Slow" - reasonably sure that reading this is a lot more worthwhile than reading this particular post.

Because the stories are pushing an agenda and ignoring the broader scope of the issue that is children using addictive substances. Conversations about children vaping should be had, but in comparison to the rate of other tobacco and nicotine use. If it’s really about the kids shouldn’t we also be looking at alcohol and other drugs like marijuana too as reference? I don’t see articles about the high school kids that start drinking, taking opiates, or smoking cigarettes and marijuana every year. These are expected behaviors, vaping is new, and the preponderance of evidence says is far less dangerous than smoking, so a lot of ignorant and easily frightened people got caught up in the rhetoric and forgot how to rationalize about new risks. The fear mongering about juul was little more than a perfect excuse to quash outcry over the ridiculous legislation against vaping products on the state and National level.

Differs per country, especially excise can vary a lot.

It's an exceptional and extraordinarily valuable ecosystem. I don't think we should risk it. As you point out, there are other copper mines, some in not so special areas.
Not really. They just burn fewer calories by sitting around when they get older. Calorie count remains constant, burn goes down, weight goes up.
Agree. The article lists appetite repression and I think its 100% that.

When I diet/track calories I def load up on water to help. And for me - it does work very well.
If you want to stave off hunger or eat less, drink a glass of water before each meal. The water will make a lot of what you eat expand in your stomach on top of starting with a partially full stomach.

The major click bait of the title is that water causes weight loss. It in fact does not. It just helps curb your appetite in ways that cause a caloric deficit.
The prohibition is on doing work generally, with a specific prohibition on kindling a fire, which was quite a lot of work millennia ago.

You're not just melting ice, but actually bringing it up to body temperature.

1 cubic inch is 2.54 * 2.54 * 2.54 = 16.4 cc = 16.4 grams. 1 F = 5/9 C. The heat capacity of water is 1 cal/gm.C. So the number of calories is 16.4 * 5/9= 9.1

9.1 cal / F / cubic inch * ( 98 F - 34 F) = 582 cal / cubic inch

Edit: Yes, I realize 1 Cal = 1000 cal, I just wanted to clarify the math.
Take any reason to drink more water. Drinking more water is one of the best changes I've made for my health. Now I can feel the difference when I don't drink enough: headaches, tiredness, perceived hunger, etc. Most of us live in a place where drinking water is essentially free and infinite, and it's so important to take advantage of that.

It seems like you're assuming that rate of burn is constant with respect to age. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, though.

The equation still stands. If they are gaining weight in their 40s onwards they are burning fewer calories than they are consuming for whatever reason. Metabolic changes perhaps.
You are right. I was coming to the same conclusion myself towards the end of my comment above.
> Plenty of non-governmental organisations are violent. The existence of private security firms is an obvious example of this.

These organizations are either government sanctioned or considered criminal.

The libertarian viewpoint on this is that all initiation of force is criminal.

> if you support a minimal government that enforces private property rights

I don't support that. I think individuals should take the protection of themselves and their property seriously. And no, I don't just mean having a gun, but instead seeking a place that honors private property and or paying for protection services as needed. Everything the government provides, a private entity can as well.
It's embarrassing that we are still using fossil fuels without any plan to deal with the pollution it causes. It isn't like people weren't aware of the problem either, I remember talks in the 80s about the Greenhouse Effect and how we needed to act quickly before the problem got out of hand.

We're already well past the point where if we just stopped emitting we will be ok. We now need carbon capture as part of the solution and thus far nothing has panned out. Nor is there much political will to actually push for solutions. They're just seen as pure cost that will make your country less competitive so nobody wants to be the only country who goes for "truth" in this prisoner's dilemma.
I would assume from the decline in muscle mass... but anything else lifestyle-related would be difficult to track in a big study, I bet.

There’s nothing missing. People tend to overestimate their calorie expenditure and underestimate their calorie intake.

Also, metabolic rate slows down with age.

But the equation is the same: calories in - calories out = calories kept.
it’s not that simple. your diet can affect how many calories your body burns. in my case i dropped to eating ~800 calorie diets and i actually lost weight slower (presumably because my body went energy conservation mode?)
NY places limits on landlords such as: cannot consider or even look at past evictions, cannot ask for more than a month deposit, and others. Also they completely left landlords out in the cold for rent for over a year and counting. NY is extremely tenant friendly and it can cost a lot if you get a bad tenant. Year(s) of unpaid rent, legal fees, and money for repairs.

> We have been talking about carbon markets for over three decades now and still have not solved the supply side of the equation.

Talking, but never actually doing.
I don't see what that should follow at all. Depending on the supply and demand for loanable funds, investors may demand a high or a low risk-free interest rate, and there's no a priori reason it would only reach equilibrium at the rate of inflation. Certainly some investors are going to want to be compensated even in real terms for deferring consumption.

Historically inflation was much lower and interest rates much higher, especially if you look back to the middle ages:

This is borderline silly. Drinking water may help you lose weight because then you're not drinking soda? Sure, but that take is just absurd — most people don't spend their days going around drinking only soda. There are many things in this article that are correct, such as the brain mistaking thirst for hunger, but they're all wrapped in too much sensationalism.
Nothing is missing. They're just burning fewer calories as they age. I'm not saying that metabolism isn't a factor (and that changes with age), it's just not something that eating more x or less y is going to change in any meaningful way.
