They didn't need to melt it to work with it.

From https://acoup.blog/2020/09/25/collections-iron-how-did-they-...:

"The second problem is chemical, because we are never going to melt this iron. Our furnaces can’t get that hot (and even if they could, melting this iron would cause it to absorb a lot of carbon from our fuel, which we do not want). So we’re going to be reducing our iron – that is, getting it to change chemically with the exposure of heat. That means the chemical composition of our iron matters a lot and we have to solve our chemical problems before we can smelt our ore.

The good news is that some ores of iron reduce fairly easily and directly, most notably hematite and the hydroxide-iron ores like limonite and goethite. They reduce fairly easily (but the latter two tend to come with lots of water that needs removing). But then we have magnetite, which while also an iron-oxide, doesn’t reduce nearly so easily as hematite, and siderite (and other carbonates) which has carbon in it, which we do not want. Moreover, our country rock might have some trace amounts of things like sulfur (or iron-sulfides) in them, which we very much do not want. Sulfur will absolutely ruin our final iron product, so we do not want it floating around when we get to the smelting process."
Using bad logic is building a house on sand. One might get lucky and the house might stand their lifetime but they're also likely to get swallowed by a sinkhole.
A few points:

-- I don't know of any glider mass-produced after WW2 that seats more than two individuals, ± a water/sand ballast tank, ± a range-extender or self-launching engine.

-- Have you ever experienced a winch launch? Try it. It's about 3g of acceleration, sometimes more. I quite like them. Most normal people probably wouldn't.

-- At the top of the winch launch, you pretty much need to immediately find a thermal and gain some height before flying off cross country. You've got about a minute or two to do so, before entering the circuit and needing to re-launch and try again.

-- Replace "200 kph" with "about 80 kt IAS". Remember that gliders fly beneath the weather 99.9% of the time and the winds in clouds are strong -- although the only youtube videos I've seen of an aircraft landing "backwards" on a runway are of a Russian high-wing aircraft, it's entirely plausible that you could end up getting a negative tack speed in a cloud.

-- Cloud flying, or flying in inclement weather is insanely dangerous for a glider. They're relatively light, have large aspect ratio wings, and don't usually have a whole lot of instrument navigation equipment on board. If the wings are wet, their coefficient of lift goes down...which would have very bad consequences for your business model. There's a reason that cross-country glider pilots have a friend with a land rover and a trailer, and train to land in fields, after all.

-- You have absolutely no opportunity to make a go-around in a glider landing. Zilch. Nada. Screw it up and Plan-B is a well placed field. This is less likely to be acceptable commercially.
Totally agree. I didn't realize how much my parents loved me until I had kids of my own. Now I get it.

That book was literally what the video was about.
>I think more people should choose not to have kids and our societies/governments should stop pushing so hard to have more due to traditional values or so economies can grow.

If your retirement plan is point blank shotgun than this is sustainable. Otherwise pray for automation, depending on how old you are, it might work out.
> a point in our careers where knowing the piece of information about a user that might have gotten them into a certain state is occasionally a valuable debugging tool.

Exactly - that's the problem with the mentality in tech right now. Just because something might make your life easier doesn't mean you get to have it. Trading user privacy is not ok because it's "occasionally a valuable debugging tool". That is exactly the problem.

Too many people in tech companies show no responsibility for the data they have privilege to - and treat privacy as absolutely minimal.

You're a parent, you wonder what's going on in your daughter's life and she isn't talking to you about it. You don't then get to break into her diary and read it all because it might give you a tip on being a better parent to her. Yes if she's for example suicidal and there is an urgent situation where reading it might help save her, then of course access it. But corporations don't get to toss aside privacy just because "it might occasionally be a valuable debugging tool".

Write a debug helper tool to clone all of a users state with lorem ipsum.
This is really cool! It would make a lot of my ideas easier to build.
>You are labeling any kind of deference towards your parents as abuse

Deference is earned.
yea, that's what I meant :P
I had recently a webinar from Siemens Automation, where they talked about such licence models, just everything in the cloud. I asked myself how they would do that, but now it looks much more clear I guess.

But I have to agree with you. Thank you, but nope.
I don't buy these predictions, but WWII isn't a good argument. War also unites societies sometimes. So maybe WW3 will save us from the next collapse.
You can but they heavily limit the amount of access tokens your app can generate, artificially limiting the amount of users your app can have.
It's even easier today. You can get a camera that you could shoot a feature film with for $200 used. You can buy a lighting rig on Amazon for $100. The amount of processing power and tools available in your phone are unbelievable compared to 15 years ago. Plus distribution is ubiquitous. There are an endless number of youtube channels that run circles around classes I took in film school.
Congratulations, you have invented Citrix.
That's pretty neat. I didn't realize 16 Colors uses the server feature. https://16colo.rs/servers/
Why though?
It's bad enough when online news sites edit their articles and a later version carries some different information with no or little hint that it was edited.
It sounds like you just want to encrypt individual files. Most major office software suites like MS Office will have an encryption feature so that you can password-protect spreadsheets.
The other easy solution requires certs, but not the kind you're thinking of: if you want to protect individual files and know who should have access, you could encrypt them using openssl (maybe write an app to wrap it up nicely) and S/MIME certs that could also encrypt your internal email. If you know what you're doing, you can provision out those keys and keep a copy in escrow for data retention policy and accountability.

I’m actually feeling pretty optimistic too. The fact that my house is currently a net exporter of green energy is certainly helping my mood in this area.

> Isn't this punishing Youtube for their own success at achieving a dominant market position?

Yes, and that's a good thing because it encourages competition. No market should have a player with such a dominant position.
> Io make the argument "The economy was shut down last year and there is a massive issue in our society with depression and loneliness as a result, but it's what those liberals deserve for leaving the church!" is asinine.

What? I never made that argument. You're putting words in my mouth and calling me asinine. Please actually respond to what I wrote.

> Are the bible, history of the church, the nature of reality, and developing a community not shared interests?

Nature of reality is more than an interest in my view. If you can't agree on reality, then no amount of shared interests can cover that gap.

As for the bible, history of the church, and community development... I guess those could be shared interests. But if you've ever met many Catholics, few are interested in the bible, even fewer in church history. We do like drinking and eating together though, so we got that! But other than super uppity social clubs, I've never really seen a dinner group achieve the success of the church, so i'm forced to conclude the religious aspect has something to do with it.
It looks like this is just an RDP-style solution which is disappointing, it would be really interesting if things still ran locally but everything - apps and data - were synced in real time to the cloud, allowing you to login anywhere on any Windows PC and get all your stuff, without worrying about subsequent users of that hardware from seeing it once you logged out.

That would be pretty amazing, but it looks like it's just all running in the cloud.
You can get almost infinite range on hot days by riding thermals.

This assumes thermals are available in the area (some days are better than others, as are some locations), and the s/w knows how to ride them.

But that is a much harder problem than just launching and gliding.

Also, gliders that could carry even a handful of passengers + baggage would be huge, and likely far too heavy for a simple winch lift.

As for the automation - airliner flight is more or less a solved problem, for flights in good weather that don't suffer any emergencies.

It hasn't been taken further because most passengers don't want to fly without a human in charge. And also because the edge cases - unexpected turbulence, difficult weather, mechanical failures, unruly passengers, software failure - happen often enough to be a problem, and they need someone trained on board to take over.

Otherwise people die. And that's very bad.
I found that I tend to get backlash if I start with too ambitious of a goal. Instead, I'll aim for something stupidly easy and just focus on getting started at all. I've found that works much better.

At first I aimed for 1 hour of exercise a day. That failed within a week. So then I aimed for 10 minutes a day, which barely felt like exercise, but it got me to the starting line consistently! The trick for me was treating anything past 10 minutes as beating expectations, rather than treating anything under 1 hour as falling short. In practice it means I'm able to get about 20 minutes per day consistently, which is still much better than 1 hour never.

The key for me was making it so I could consistently feel good about a reasonable goal instead of constantly feeling like I was falling short of my own expectations.

Now if only I could apply that to flossing.
We might be able to find solutions, but there's no guarantee that we will find them, or that we'll find them in time to avert a systems collapse. It's not like it hasn't happened before. People did find solutions when civilization has collapsed in the past, but they were implemented by the survivors.

I don't know enough about the field to know the reputation or legitimacy of this journal. A quick peek at the editorial board raises some red flags though, I would want to do a more detailed investigation before taking things published here seriously:

I don't think you could be right. There are lots of things that could be smuggled out of a country at all times: Precious metals, precious art and historical artifacts, Money and Drugs, etc...

A country does care about what is coming out of its territory. If you have a high incidence of drugs coming out of Japan, the country will be flagged by the other countries. This makes shipping both expensive and difficult.

> The security risk of taking an uninspected box on a private jet is pretty low, and private jets routinely have fewer security checks.

I don't have the stats, but I'd argue that on a % basis, it's less likely that a single traveler is carrying something illegal than a private jet owner. I think the reason private jet owner do not get "scanned" is their status. That would annoy these persons and Japan (and most countries) do not want to annoy them.
Also will all the retweets be edited as well or do you retweet a snapshot?
Take any list of the top domains on the Internet --- any of them at all --- and run them through a trivial script, like:

#!/bin/sh
while read domain
do
ds=$(dig ds $domain +short)
echo "$domain $ds"
done

... and note that virtually none of the domains, in any sane list of top domains, are signed. That was true several years ago and remains true today, despite the supposed "increase in usage" of DNSSEC.

What's actually changed is that registrars, especially in Europe, now apparently auto-sign domain names. That creates a constant stream of new, more-or-less ephemeral signed zones that gives the appearance of increasing DNSSEC adoption. Of course, this is also security theater (the owners of the zones don't own their keys!). The real figure of merit for DNSSEC adoption is adoption by sites of significance, and that has been static, and practically nonexistent, for a decade.

It is no surprise to me that people working on the DNS talk quite a bit about DNSSEC. People who worked on SNMP talked quite a bit about SNMPv3, and IPSEC people probably really believed there would be Internet-wide IKE. None of those things happened, because what matters in the real world is what the market decides. Most especially at the companies with serious security teams, DNSSEC is a dead letter standard.

I don't think false centrism or compromise for the sake of compromise is beneficial here.

Let's take the most clear example.

Who legitimately won the 2020 US Presidential Election?

Did Biden win the election fairly and legitimately or not?

Does your position permit "splitting the difference"? How would that work? Are you advocating that we meet in the middle and say Biden won but not legitimately? Or that Trump lost but it wasn't a fair election?

Some positions just don't work like that. OAN won't simply say that Biden is the legitimately elected President. What do you propose is the appropriate "compromise" solution in this case?
They probably do actually - they disappear after a short time and you can't link to them.
I do not want to take away any positives from having kids; however, I do think we should strongly consider whether we would actually be good parents and if we would be able to prepare them to live in a world where the bar is raising exponentially. Even if we find fulfillment in children, I question if it is really the best option for them in the long-term or if we may be selfish in our desires to have them.

I think shrinking population is one thing I would like to see. Until we start moving to other planets, I do not see the benefits of a growing population. Many people still live in poverty and lack a good education, which I believe parenting has the most influence on.

No one is holding a gun to YouTube’s head and telling them they have to serve video content to Germans. They want to be in Germany serving video content, so it’s only fair and just that they should listen to the Germans and do what they say or leave.

"We’ll explore more ways to address what holds people back from participating on Twitter."

Perhaps I can help.

Twitter is always angry. You'll find the most idiotic, extreme, harmful statements from both sides of the political spectrum. Worse, Twitter actively rewards it. The more unhinged and controversial, the more engagement you get.

The replies will be equally angry. Any attempt to add nuance or reason is futile. Because the damage is already done in the form of retweets, likes, quotes.

Hence, the unreasonables run Twitter. And they have normalized a lot of absolutely pathetic behavior. Taking things out of context and applying the worst faith interpretation of it, willingly. Sub-tweeting, screenshotting, exposing private conversations, speaking badly of others within their bubble, and sometimes this triggering further attacks or even cancellations.

This culture of perpetual outrage, hate-addiction even, and the many childish behaviors that come with it, are born at Twitter.

After a Twitter session, one feels miserable and depressed. There is nothing delightful, nothing new you learned, no new friend you met. It's horror. Like the news, but then 10 times worse.

Wait, sometimes there's non-hateful tweets too. 99% of them are self-congratulatory or stupid. Something like: "My 3 year old just commented that an intersectional approach in politics is most effective".

Attention starved, completely made up. Yet for sure it will get thousands of likes. Both hate and idiocracy are richly rewarded.

To stay in line with the ever narrowing Twitter culture, one has to use it at least 6 hours per day. Otherwise, you might miss that word you used your entire life suddenly being problematic. Could even be a particular emoij. Anything triggers outrage. Anything at all. It seems the entire point of Twitter: maximizing outrage perpetually.

It's a Twitter thing and a Twitter thing only. I've never experienced it with such intensity anywhere else, and I'm merely lurking. The reason I hate it so much is that it goes beyond just a website sucking, its effects are cultural.
How about a preview then?

I don't think it needs to be that in-your-face. I believe an inline "this tweet has been edited" link to a revision history or diff would thwart most abuse.
How come there is none?

Set up DNS in whatever way you prefer. Give each service a name.

Create a self-signed root cert, push it to all machines via whatever administrative update tool you use, or just walk around a small office with a flash drive.

Create an intermediate cert. From it, create certs for all services that need one, and push them.

Voilá, you can use https without warnings.

Am I missing something?
The changing climate will shift assets to liabilities (e.g. the Amazon) and liabilities to assets (e.g. mining landfills). Hard to tell which is which at times.
They're paid by the company that hire you. That's a pretty huge conflict of interest for you to let them negotiate "for" you. It's also why they don't want the job (do well and piss off your client, do badly and piss off the employee).

Also no one can really negotiate for you because ultimately you have to know what you will accept and that depends on feelings as much as facts.
Schumer Proposes Federal Decriminalization of Marijuana
>Tim Grewe, GM’s Global Electrification and Battery Systems Director, told Car and Driver that the Ultium pack does not suffer capacity loss from excessive DC fast charging, so GM will not advise users to charge the pack to less than 100 percent.

Translation: we can get higher spec cells now, so battery capacity will be over-rated. A "100 KWh" pack will be 120 KW+. When it says it's fully charged it's actually sitting at a nice conservative 80% SoC. You could fast charge it every day because the pack is so huge that 100 KW is a nice gentle 1C charge rate. You can push the warranty out further because you have more headroom for battery aging.

Presumably when the car hits three or four years old it'll set a charge threshold at 80% and start warning you about fast charging. (Or maybe not? It would be in GM's interest to let you run it into the ground like a cellphone)
Was this the same plan where private jets were exempted from a jet fuel tax?
Same. I really liked the new approach, but from the screenshots I figured all tabs would stack from the left making their position more predictable. Instead the entire tab field starts at the center and moves to the left for each new tab making all tabs moving targets.

I think it’s more important. A wide body long-haul plane takes a significant amount of time to turn around w.r.t. many other aspects — more passengers, cargo/luggage, fuel, food, etc. the bigger the plane, the longer this takes. I’ve been on small commuter planes that turn around in 20-30 min, landing to take off. These are the planes that turn around quickly as there are fewer passengers, they carry less baggage, and you don’t always need to refuel.

If anything, these shorter routes are more time-sensitive.
Vscode Remote strikes a very good balance IMO. The client running completely locally with a server running on the remote machine.
