I'm still waiting on some clever folks to figure out a practical hybrid LCD over backlit e-ink display. There seem to be no major technological hurdle, just the practicalities of doing so, and affordably. Done properly it would be the perfect display technology, readable from darkness to full sunlight, suitable for high-contrast reading as well as full motion video, and using no power when not lit or refreshed (but still displaying whatever was last rendered to the e-ink layer). Even a colour LCD over a monochrome e-ink layer would be potentially compelling, IMO.

It's the worst way of communicating with people. Personal messages get lost in a sea of receipts and marketing emails. Conversation chains are hard to follow, and it's so easy to lose or not be aware of important bits of information.

The problem is that the people admitting these mistakes were not necessarily the political figures advocating them to the populace at large. I imagine a fair bit of opposition to the safe vaccines we are able to enjoy is due to skepticism of political figures not owning up to their initial false statements. For example, I distinctly remember the former president stating loudly and repeatedly that Coronavirus was no big deal (paraphrasing), that it would disappear overnight, that the United States was well prepared for it, and so on. I do not recall any mea culpa's being issue: just one new bold statement after the next.

To be fair to our conservative friends, I'm sure this behavior is not limited to only one political party.

Every admin can set the max office capacity (nb of seats) and when reaching that limit, people need to double confirm they want to go to the office while there's an over capacity.

If there's an over capacity, we give the information to everyone (users & admins) and let admins resolve this conflict with a dataset of info (like the position in the queue or the teams)

In your case, if people don't pay attention to the "booking system" then they can't complain about not getting access to your office though

Heck yeah! Check out my other comment about Boot Up - may be a helpful start
It's one of the best options we know that could work. Basically grind up readily available basalt with technology we already have at scale and dump it into the oceans and onto agricultural soils - which is quite beneficial for soil structure, too. But I'm afraid it's not going to be sexy enough for technocratic phantasies and it cannot be monetized through some kind of futuristic looking devices.
Dead trees lie on the ground, with all their sequestered carbon sitting there. It's not like the carbon is going back into the atmosphere, at least not without some process like combustion. Coal is basically dead trees. Before we started extracting coal and burning it, it was harmless to the atmosphere.

No. It's a signal of the lack of the Golden Rule / interpersonal, real reciprocity. I worked at a STEM department in Pac12/Ivy that was very family-like. I think that's what he felt was missing and turned him off because he's a touchy-feely (not John Key-style), warm guy who's a free-love hippie like George Clinton.

A similar idea from a hn member https://tailscale.com/
Here, try numbers from an actual study:

"Clot risk to 18-39s from AstraZeneca vaccine is twice as high as Covid death risk, Euro study finds" - https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-40328123.html
When I freelanced as a frontend engineer for NBC-Universal in 2007-2008, the full-timers had pensions. They might still offer that.
I made no such claim that the actual success rate is 99.99%. I was replying to a person who supposed a 99.99% success rate based on their observation and I was pointing out that even an absurdly generous interpretation of a 99.99% success rate would constitute the most dangerously defective product in the car industry in half a century by multiple orders of magnitude.

The point being that the failure rates society accepts for cars are actually pretty amazingly low and human drivers are surprisingly good. These things are measured with 6-7 9s as a non-negotiable minimum, so positing hypotheticals at the 99-99.99% is highly non-representative of what is actually acceptable.

Anybody discussing things at that level is making a pretty fundamental category error and any conclusion that anyone might draw from those thought experiments are largely invalid due to the multiple order of magnitude difference between such a thought experiment and reality.

it's actually 36 - (36x0.25) - (36x0.25) - 10 = 8.

But yeah, we would have to reduce our emissions by at least 8GT to get to zero. That is totally doable, advanced economies are already reducing CO2 at a faster rate than 25% over 30 years: the US has reduced it's emissions by 1GT in 10 years (16% reduction).
I'm referring to the float registers, not arbitrary precision. So, 'math.pi' essentially.

You probably already know this, I'll apologise in advance - My understanding is you can only get accurate values of a value smaller than unity on a float if it is a sum of perfect powers of 1/2 (ie. the denominator is a perfect power of two). Therefore any reciprocal of an odd number will get an error (bar the first term, which is 1) since odd numbers don't fall into the above category (except for 1).

I tried using this series years ago to calculate pi. It was a total disaster, the final value was way off.

Edit: 'sum of'
I'm not sure that's actually the case here; anecdotally, but a lot of the criticism of the former president at the time came from his bold statements that he never bothered to correct. Though, to be fair, that's probably not the only reason his former supporters did not come out to vote for him in round 2.
Still, it hasn't passed the standard testing to show that it is safe and efficacious. That's why it is only allowed under EAU for the moment.

It has not passed the testing that a vaccine needs to have, to be FDA approved. Especially long-term effects testing, which I guess is us now. I doubt the tests will ever be completed now since the makers can already sell every dose they can make.

That said, I'm not too worried about the safety of the vaccine, but I certainly understand people who are.
Most of the ideas within Theology are ideas that went on to become known as Philosophy (for proof: Christian theology came after Philosophy but Aristotle was regarded as the authority on basically everything for pre-Reformation theologians, despite him not being a Christian or having anything to with Christianity...this also occurred in Judaism and Islam).

There are obviously topics that are fairly inseparable from religion, for example hermeneutics, but religion is just another frame of reference onto all the issues that are still important to humans today. Whether you believe that God exists or not is usually not particularly relevant, you just believe the eventual cause is different.

The Amazon rain forest is not net zero because of animals. It's net zero (actually net negative last I heard) because humans are burning it to make way for agriculture.

Trees sequester carbon. They also return that carbon to the atmosphere eventually, but as long as they're replaced by new trees, that's fine. That's not what's happening in the Amazon.

From a carbon perspective forests for timber are even better because then we keep several generations of trees worth of carbon locked up in our structures. It's also an easier sell because that has real economic value.

From a biodiversity perspective it's not as good to have monoculture crops of any kind, including trees.
To be honest, this is all the domain of your AWS service advisor. At any type of scale(eg, when you move to invoiced billing because CC billing would be absurd), you should be overwhelmed by phone calls from that individual. While half of their job is to upsell you, the other half is to help you save costs to garner goodwill(and your future business).

If you've been dodging these calls in the past, it might be worth picking up the phone.
Honestly, if carbon capture is effective for the power requirements that it has...build a nuclear facility dedicated to the carbon capture tech.
I think we're conflating two different things. "Do nothing" in the example given was to basically ignore the person and hope they figure it out.

Responding quickly and being available doesn't mean you don't also teach. When I did desktop support years ago I always explained what I was doing and why. Your mouse isn't working? I'll be right there. Let's see, sometimes disconnecting and reconnecting can fix. Let's try that. Yep, that worked. Oh, thanks - I'll try that myself next time!

I also found that responding quickly and having a humble/service mentality builds trust and respect. Those are the very things that give others pause and a desire to figure it out themselves because they trust you and respect your time. If you treat others poorly by ignoring them, for example, they are less likely to care if they are bugging or interrupting you.

most of the plans to sequester carbon in the ocean make me worry about how that would impact the broader ecosystem. As I understand it, it would change the chemistry of the ocean, which might trade one disaster for another. Not to mention ideally sequestration would last for millennia.

IMHO, it matters precisely because if we don't ascribe preconceptions of right vs wrong (particularly when that tends to be married to US-vs-China narratives), neither of the efforts seems like illogical courses of action, nor all that different at all in the first place.

What struck me about his letter was not only that specifically about the death of his mother, but he also referenced the death of his colleague's mother, Dr. Cooke-Rivers, received no public condolences.

Whether that is Spiritual Bankruptcy, or merely Indifference, I know not, but it definitely reflects a culture problem of sorts.

I'm not a fan of West's politics (look up my comment history, because it's pretty clear what my politics are), but the comments here making light of West's objections seem completely off the mark.

Reading the letter I see a few extremely salient complaints:

1. His first complaint is that he was a token diversity hire. Instead of his courses being placed in the general coursework section, his courses were put under 'African American' religious studies. As many minorities know, this is a way of discounting minority viewpoints. No one would dare dream put a history class taught by a white professor under the 'European American studies' portion. If he's teaching a course supposedly on American democracy, then surely it should go under history or social sciences, not 'black people social sciences'.

2. Failure to compensate an appropriate amount given West's celebrity status. Again, I don't particularly like West's politics, but he is clearly quite the celebrity. It seems he was not compensated appropriately, despite Harvard being happy to use his celebrity status to further their own reputation. Pretty standard employee complaint.

3. His tenure application was denied despite Harvard asking him to leave an existing tenured professorship. He believes his application was denied not due to his teaching but because Harvard disagreed with one of his political views. Again, as much as I disagree with West's politics, it seems incredibly disingenuous to profit off of a new employee's celebrit, tempt him to join you from a stable job with promises of future stability, and then to deny him tenureship because he has differing opinions on some random issue.

4. Despite supposedly wanting a close faculty, no one in the faculty would stand up for him when his tenure was denied. The fact of his mother's death not soliciting any response was not brought up in isolation as other comments claim (current top comment does). It was brought up in reference to the fact that no one on faculty would dare speak up to the administration on his behalf and it seemed like, after tenure was denied for his beliefs on Palestine, he was ostracized from his department. Many academics know that being ostracized in your department is not good.

5. Furthermore, it seemed that Harvard has a problem in not focusing on the whole person. Instead, it's developed into a technocratic institution (which I know from personal knowledge, West decries).

So yeah, all the people saying this is only about his mother or because of palestine are either being incredibly dense or purposely deceitful.

Again, I disagree with basically everything West stands for, but I agree with him that he shouldn't essentially be exploited and then canceled. That goes against every shred of common decency.

Once we can see our time for what it's really worth (not much), anxieties about potentially pissing it all away disappear, replaced with ideas and possibilities (most of which may have previously have been classified as "a waste of time").

> I will always wonder if I had called them earlier if I could have avoided the worst of this (by having some oxygen earlier on and maybe avoiding some of the damage).

I think you're quite fortunate you held out and got better on your own.

There's some old scientific knowledge that oxygen [O2] in excess is toxic. I've submitted links about toxic-O2 here before, but these did not get much attention [4][5].

Some modern Fire/EMS first responders are well-aware of toxic O2 [0]. My uncle (an MD) knows about toxic O2, but he's not aware of the antidote. I was waiting for someone with credentials to call out the doctors for their mistaken use of oxygen.

I did find an MD's tweet that confirms the old research [1]. The doctor's tread is about how ventilators are harmful too, and how he can kill mice in 3 days with pure oxygen. But the MD didn't mention the antidote (5% CO2) that makes O2 non-toxic.

I've put some effort into tweeting about #MedicalHyperventilation [2] and SARS-CoV-2 [3], but no one consults with a non-credentialed former taxi driver (or his real-world persona).

My write-up: The Folly of Medical Hyperventilation: https://www.taxiwars.org/2021/06/folly-medical-hyperventilat...

I've posted this with my pseudonym because it's sort of inconvenient for people to realize we've driven the global economy into a wall because our doctors are trained to apply pseudo-medicine: "if patient's blood oxygen saturation level is low, supplement pure oxygen", and more inconvenient that there's an antidote that makes oxygen nontoxic to the lungs and the rest of the body.
