Grass contains even less carbon, and it doesn't produce anything of economic value.

As I wrote elsewhere in the thread, it's all about maximizing the total carbon stored per hectare. That means more trees in the median, more trees in our suburbs, more trees in the city, and (most importantly) more trees in agriculture.

There's a small set of "farmer's trees" (eg black locust) that coexist with crops right up to the trunk, drop copious mulch, have deep tap roots that bring up minerals, and make nutritious pods that are good fodder for animals. Planting 15-20 of these trees per hectare will actually increase the crop yield beneath.

Tons more carbon stored, better crop yield, cuts down wind erosion, and free fodder too. The cost is that the farmer has to drive around the trees. It's a non-zero cost yes, but it's a much easier switch than transitioning to full-on agroforestry.

Disclaimer: I decided to drop out of a electrical engineering PhD program, so take the below with a grain of salt :)

This is not limited to just physics, but all STEM PhDs.

Actually, you should never join a PhD program if it’s not funded! As for the pay.. you’ll need to define “living”.

Yes, you will likely travel, but research funding is more often than not very tight and restricted. As a result, travel conditions are not always ideal.

As far as the subject matter goes, it’s as interesting as you make it out to be. The more crucial point is that you must enjoy what you’re doing to be able to pull through the 5 year+ program.

Your peers can be collegial and friendly, yes, but make no mistake: competition can get fierce in academia too.

Exiting is always an option, but once you’re a few years in, it can be hard to jump ship due to the sunk cost fallacy.
Exactly my experience. Often the professors held us undergraduates in open contempt.

One in particular said straight up on the first day, “I do not like teaching. I am required to do this in order to do the research I want to do.”

I guess I at least appreciated his candor, it gave me insight to what many of the other professors felt but never said out loud.

…and actually he was in the better half of instructors (there was an admittedly low bar with a few excellent standouts).
Could you elaborate on the political activism behind this (the why and the who). I can not guess which the party (or sub-party) is and what their (honest or hypocritical) agenda is, but I am sincerely interested in your point of view. (Yeah, I know you might suffer knee-jerk downvotes for mentioning something about Dems or Reps)
Putting aside whether this would be effective or a good idea: if you literally mean _carbon_, no, because it’s usually a solid.
There just shouldn't be loans for these degrees. At all.
This is a false dichotomy. Just because I trust OS vendor to not be shipping malware or backdoors in their code doesn't mean I must let them decide what I can or cannot run on the OS for me.
The vast majority of student loans are originated and backed by the federal government, for most cases there is no "loan company". It's the federal government that these students owe the money to.
speaking of volume.. every device I've ever used is obscenely loud. On my phone (with headphones) even just 1 increment on the volume is too much at times; on my windows PC I basically never go above 10/100. How are these things calibrated exactly
In short:
DNC seeks to implement global surveillance of any SMS or chat medium to do pattern recognition and "fact check" insertion, which won't in any way lead to any type of bad or otherwise unintended side-effects or potential abuses at all, ever.

There are few things I justify as worthy of the implementation of such a measure (I mean, I'm sure it's possible I'll think or hear of one some day) but I still find any mention of contemporary issues as a justification for doing so unconvincing against the potential for abuse.

If true, would be political suicide to hopefully any reasonable individual. Also, saw a ZeroHedge article before it was flagged on HN. Feel like I just pulled off an achievement.
I must say, I’m not a fan of MagSafe accessories that attach to your phone especially since easy pocketaility seems important for an external battery.
You could... link to the particular post, instead of the search you found it in?
Yea, they are absolutely the worst. They gave a Murano loaner while my GT-R was getting its transmission replaced and that piece of junk sat in my driveway and didn't move for a month. High performance, low performance, they offer some terrible transmissions across their entire lineup! As much as I want to defend the GR6 because it is phenomenal when it works and the stock housing can take an insane amount of power compared to other DCT's, mine died after only 10k miles and it was a 2015 model, which was supposed to be a non-issue after like 2011 from the launch control updates.
This looks interesting, but I was interested in each computer doing a sync with cloud storage. I realize that's not well-defined, but even keeping the more recently updated version in any sync session is ok with me. The thing I wanted is that I only use one computer at a time and don't leave the others on so doing direct pc <-> mac sync is less convenient, compared to run a sync on whichever machine I'm using at the time.

Should I just be getting some cloud VM that backs up its storage and use rsync/ssh?

It’s easy to wax philosophical about how we can’t predict things, and it’s true that you can never have certainty, but it really is relatively cut and dried here. There are many cases in history that could have gone the other way. But Japan was terribly outmatched in every way in 1941.

Well, the gorillas chose to come to a table and open a discussion.

These decisions might as well be made in closed rooms at Google and Mozilla, and there wouldn't be much you could do about it. By the power of browser market share, they could just skip W3C and implement whatever they want. What they'd get away with is only limited by the point where someone with a different agenda starts funding their own browser fork (and can convince users to use it.)
Does Twitter now rely on Heron then or is there a new in-house replacement? Are some teams still using Storm?
The late 70s were brutal. Worse than the late 2000s IMHO. It was so bad, that there was a recession in 1983, and the incumbent President that oversaw that recession - Reagan - won the 1984 election by a landslide because it was way better than the stagflation of the 70s.

Also, I wish it was as low as 7-10% inflation :(

That may be true that dashboards are under-counting Firefox, but the ultimate impact is the same. Without some kind of evidence that more than a trivial number of hits come from Firefox why would any small business pour time into catering to an audience that might exist instead of pursuing one that does?
yeah, this is the worse, even worse is if your mouse moves outside the circle of the knob it resets back to where ever it was, which I experienced on some random audio thing back in the 90s.
Absolutely, I used to work for an online bookmaker and if we saw a spike in 404s it usually meant one of our sports traders had stuffed something up and took down a market early, or a release went out that broke our navigation. In a business that is inherently spikey (i.e. the majority of bets came through _just_ before an event started) we had to be pretty careful about what spikes were good and what were bad.

I won’t speak to how much we need DHA as adults or at what levels, but it’s found in algae and thus vegan DHA supplements exist. Ripple even makes a protein and DHA enhanced vegan milk substitute for kids that is pretty good.
Two situations were it might make sense:
1) Person with non-programming stem degree who really learns a lot from what you describe. Basically a fancy 2nd bachelors.
2) Connections with jobs/employers. A good programmer from a 'no-name school' may struggle to find a good first job. Two years at Stanford's CS program and suddenly they'll have tons of offers.

Not saying the 2nd case is 'fair' or 'good' - but it's super useful to the individual who goes in knowing what they're doing.

My personal belief is that all governments should implement carbon tax/trading schemes which are either revenue neutral or 100% of the revenue is invested into carbon capture schemes.
Teams is the reference for bad UI. Paste a code block. Select a word in the code block. Copy and you get the whole block copied not the selected word.

I could write a page of the issues like this. Maybe it would not be so bad if you only used Teams but when you use slack at the same time it is like someone is wacking you in the back of the head every few minutes.
This is my experience. Their grants are also in competitive spaces.

Do we want to move off Microsoft SQL Server and go to Postgres Aurora? Yes. AWS also wants us and everyone in the world to do that. It’s a win for us to get there because of reduced license costs. It’s a win for them, because they get the revenue from services.

So, they give grants to help us and help them build their services.

I don't care so much to lose the most recent few months. Can store some extra drives at a family members house and swap them out whenever I go to visit.
> Agreed. Removal and reductions are not mutually exclusive.

Making people believe that some magic techno fix will swoop in and somehow solve the climate change problem is undesirable. People need to accept that a large reduction in emissions is necessary and this will require many people to change at least some of their habits.

In most cases you just have to know. There are some ortholinear keyboards with some sort of display or indicator and you could program the backlight to show your current layer. It sounds like it would be hard to get used to but a few days was all it took for me to be proficient and I type faster now than I did on a conventional keyboard.
I really hope your comment made you feel all big and smart!
> So, the justice system in Japan enforces additional restrictions after a person is out on bail ?

Only when there's a risk of the suspect colluding with others and concealing the evidence.

IANAL, but I read that there were good reasons that the prosecution believes he does it. But this system is criticized today as it gives too much power to the prosecutors.

I think the biggest problem is, as you mentioned, the slowness and bureaucracy of Japan's justice system, which I guess is still mostly paper-based. If it would take only a couple of weeks, he might have not done it. Everything is so slow to change here, and it's not just the justice system. I feel that Japan's inflexibility is slowly consuming the country.
> Every time you access a file share, you request explicit authorisation to copy any of the files in that share? I think you'd have trouble finding any court who accepted that this was the intended outcome.

If you don't own the files, yes, you do need authorization. I think courts would not have trouble with that concept.

> A EULA can require you to give up rights that you would otherwise have - in many cases it's legal to engage in reverse engineering, but in order to gain the right to use the software you may have agreed not to do that. So even if it would be fair use to analyse the binaries, if I can't obtain those binaries without either violating copyright law or agreeing to a EULA, I'm not in a position to do so without putting myself at risk. If copyright law didn't apply to the binaries in the first place then I wouldn't need to agree to the EULA in order to obtain them, and there'd be no problem.

You are dodging and deflecting.

As you said yourself, if copyright doesn't apply, you can obtain copies without worrying about the EULA or copyright.

Well, fair use is an exemption to copyright. If you do something under fair use, it does not matter if you agree to a EULA or not; if your use is under fair use, you can do it. Period.

So I gave you a way around copyright by using GitHub's own argument that it is fair use. If you won't take it, that means you don't believe what you are saying because you are not willing to put your actions where your mouth is. Yet I am willing to front $1000 if you do.

So clearly, you are not arguing in good faith, especially since your argument is about the consequences if copyright is done away with. In this one case, where GitHub claims that copyright is done away with, you won't take action, which means all that you are saying is just empty air.

Because you are not arguing in good faith, I think I am done with this conversation. And I will take the bet; I will challenge Microsoft to issue their legal opinion on this.
Several years ago, I had to use this trick to automate an MSSQL install via powershell remoting. One of the operations the installer performed was disallowed for powershell remoting sessions. So I set up my script to create a service and then invoke the installer from the service, which worked perfectly. Whatever security checks they had on powershell remoting sessions weren't much more than security theater. Not sure if this is still the case, but it seems that this is still a useful trick.
Honestly I don't even get what the author is getting at. You don't block a entire domain because a mail, missing DKIM/SPF record, has a FROM: header of a domain, and is scammy, you mark the IP address of the forwarder as scammy.

Infact my email forwarder doesn't even change the from header, all gmail sees is mail from my forwarder's IP address, (which I have manually marked as trusted) from scammer to my mail. Ofc this means my forwarding service has low deliverability, But I don't use it for sending outgoing mail.
Would they truly lose early sales if they just followed the CDPR model of no DRM? I don’t think I’ve bought anything that had denuvo recently but this seems like a nuisance to have to deal with in all ends.
That’s exactly right. I work in film and TV, and there are great, high-paid jobs in those fields… if you win the equivalent of a professional lottery. Unfortunately these MFA programs are (of course) not transparent about that. And, unfortunately, the people who can pay to play tend to already be pretty well off.

While note quite as cool as a 40% I've personally been very happy with a Mistel Barocco[0]. The MS Sculpt was one of the best keyboards I'd ever used before that opened my eyes to properly done ergonomics.

My keyboard journey actually went like this:

- keyboards not worth mentioning

- MS Ergonomic 4000

- keyboards not worth mentioning

- Microsoft Sculpt

- Filco Majestouch 2

- Unicomp M

- Mistel Barocco

I have to say, the first jump to tactile keyboards was uplifting. I felt like I could touch-type more quickly with more certainty which was nice. Can't say that it's all uphill from there (not all switches are even tactile), but finding both split and tactile was great and my hands have never felt better.

Also, make sure to check out wooden Filco wood rests. But it looks like they're only made in Japan (which is where I happen to be currently) -- none of the grime and all of the support of "gel" wrist rests.

Student loans would evaporate. Full time students have no income or collateral, since the degree and knowledge and skills cant be taken away and sold to recover losses.

All this would do is ensure that higher education is utterly inaccessible for anyone not rich enough to pay cash.
Array languages (Jelly is one of them!) work at a high level of abstraction, since programming consists of applying operations to entire immutable arrays. List comprehensions are probably the closest the mainstream gets to this style.

It's not as abstract as possible or anything. Most directly, there are abstractions like algebraic datatypes or macros that APL doesn't have at all. And there's a sense in which APL is very concrete: it tends to use first-order functions instead of higher-order ones like Replicate[0] instead of filter. For me the fact that an array oriented program tends to handle just a few arrays at a time makes it easier to understand what's going on. I think there are also ways in which APL programming is low-level. Going back to Jelly, it's actually a stack machine, same as Java object code, or Forth. Modern APL has tacit programming[1], which has a similar mix of mathematical purity and machine-like shuffling. I think the way APL handles array axes is similar. They are numbered, so to work with them you have to keep track of the ordering. Something like einsum that names them would be higher-level.

Not at these ultra expensive universities. Federal loans cap at high but vaguely reasonable annual limits, to get 200+k of debt from a 4 year degree takes massive loans from private companies. https://lendedu.com/blog/federal-student-loan-limits/

However, the federal limit is still sky high $31,000 for dependent undergraduate students. A loan cap of say 20k/year would dramatically change what goes on at these private collages.

Of all fields, do these students _honestly_ expect that going to a 6 figure film program to will turn them into a successful filmmaker? Look around. All the people who have made it in Hollywood did so through via nepotism/cronyism or by busting their ass making their own movies and getting lucky.

You probably have more chance of success investing all your time and money into real projects and trying to market/distribute them than spending years in school and drowning in debt.

Easier said than done, but there's no way into that industry that isn't tough and an MFA degree isn't going to impress anyone.

You're comparing against a pretty gilded group there.

Perusing wiki, it looks like Saudi Arabia is a G20 economy with a population of 34 million people, yet only 3.1 million native Saudis are members of the labor force, the private sector labor force is 90% non-Saudi, and still only 12% of Saudis live below the local poverty line.

If I'm reading that right, 88% being above the threshold for poverty with only 9% workforce participation for native Saudis seems pretty noteworthy.
Not from our perspective. It’s basically subsidized infrastructure spending. We aren’t doing the low level things they are “probably” interested in. There is no right to IP granted.
I’m pretty sure it’s foreign students who are paying most of those bills, isn’t it?
which were a large part of the population at the time.
Instead of subsidizing the ridiculously inflated cost of these programs through loans, the government should just open a string of bare-bones universities across the country that offer decent job training for free. No fancy dorms, no deluxe athletics, just a free education. Don’t subsidize an over-expensive private market. Force the private market to compete with dirt cheap. (Same goes for health care, too)
Yeah, it won't cure baldness either. What it will do is solve a specific problem (countries undercutting each other and driving the tax rate to zero) which AFAIK has no other solution. The fact that it doesn't also solve a different problem we don't yet have is not a good reason to abandon it.
Operation SpoofedScholars: A Conversation with TA453
Woah, it occurs to me that I've cloud-blinded myself. Do I really, really need offsite backup? If not having an always on third machine really does do the job, especially if I can get remote access set up for it.

I kinda don't want to handle the physical media though. It works well short term, but for longer time frames I can't be trusted. I have misplaced/erased/reused/damaged so many devices. It's also a pain to keep up with the upgrading/updating of the various interfaces the devices use.
