I wonder if the global community should just pay countries with carbon sinks for the opportunity cost of using those lands and resources. Those countries can then spend that money to their citizens’ benefit and agree to enforce protection of the land. This can all be monitored by satellite, with carbon sink nations risking sanctions if they violate that agreement.

Wikipedia suggests [0] that the majority of NYPD officers come from minority backgrounds. Whites are slightly overrepresented in leadership vs. the demographic backdrop of New York. Though that is probably inertia, as they used to be a majority instead of just the largest minority back in the 90s.

It seems to be a stretch to say the NYPD could be a hotbed of racism in particular. They look rather diverse. I suppose possibly the argument could be made that black NYPD officers are racist against whites, whites against latinos and latinos against blacks. But from what I've understood that isn't the accusation being made at them.

Something I would add to the process is an early exploration of the organisational outcomes relevant to the decision. Goals and measures of success first (hopefully including some leading measures), solutions last.

Sometimes those are enough - solutions can be left to those closest to the problem. Hence OKR, 4DX, Tight-Loose-Tight, etc

> I'm sure Starlink would be priced in a way that was affordable in the local economy should it get there

But this is the problem: it can't. With cables, the cost is location dependent because it is dominated by the local cost of work.

But starlink has limited bandwidth, and their cost is dominated by the satellites and launches, and by the work of highly skilled engineers in America. Every extra subscriber costs them a lot, and they can't make money by launching millions of dollars worth of satellites and charging 10$ a month.

> Not a direct reply, but Starlink will also enable some interesting scenarios around open internet access in places where it doesn't exist today - like the Middle East during the Arab Spring, or in China, or in North Korea.

Why do you think that? Satellite signals are easy to detect and jam, unfortunately. Especially since satellite internet requires you to transmit, not just receive. If you were right, those places would already have satellite television access to news around the world.
I'm really impressed with this so far! It's very fast and looks great. The lexer I was able to find within 30 seconds of opening it for the first time highlights Haskell code better than Sublime- I'm not seeing weird syntax errors like I do in Sublime and quasiquoting works correctly.

I immediately miss "Find in files" bound to Control P in Sublime- I didn't see similar functionality in a list of plugins https://github.com/halfbrained/cudatext_plugins_list but I may have missed it.

I've been looking for a go-to lightweight editor so I'll keep trying it out. I know some people will disagree but it doesn't quite sit right with me that Sublime charges $100 and not only relies on the community to maintain plugins, but charges those plugin maintainers as well (if they don't want to get hit with nag messages). I don't think that's really working out.

Edit: Title referred to this editor as "open source version of sublime" at the time of the writing of this comment

In certain counties.

In my county of Marin, we are fed with a few lakes, and bit of water from the Russian river.

I have looked at our dwindling lakes, and very concerned.

What get's me is MMWD has had since the 70's to do something.

Yes--what to do?

I would have cut down on management salaries, and nepotism, 30 years ago. That savings could have funded a desalination plant?

I still don't understand why lakes can't be dug deeper.
There's also a plausible case that even some water-hungry agricultural production may be sustainable with more water-efficient techniques... but someone operating under water right frameworks where use isn't metered has no immediate incentive to adapt to them.

It really seems like the framework of water usage in the west needs some serious reconsideration.

Because the federal government often foots the bill for new suburban expansion. If the suburbs will foot the bill for road, sewer, and electricity expansion then they should be left to do so.
This reads more like a PR piece for a particular viewpoint and attempt to influence the debate with very preliminary and shallow data. Very scant evidence to support the headline and no details on what's behind the percentages. They are basing the conclusion on one months data in one section of NYC. 95% accepted care from the new unit v. 82% for traditional 911 with police. Are the types of cases the same? Did both groups include violent incidents? If not, have the police numbers been adjusted to carve out the violent cases? Why is accepting care a measure of success, and are the incidents resolved or will they be repeated and/or escalate in the future? E.g.., if the alleged spouse batterer gets a counseling session rather than jail time will it prevent the incident from occurring again ?
> California's farmers probably will pump an additional six to seven million acre-feet of water from their wells this year, above what they normally use

Compare that volume to the historic/nominal annual flow of the Colorado River at 16.5 million acre feet (per a 100 year old compact). That would be a big pipeline or canal to
build or pump. Electric, heat, and carbon costs for
desalinization plants would be equally infeasible.

This comment is very strange when you consider that the only reason there's even traction in switching to mental health professionals is specifically because of the injustices inflicted on specific groups and the ensuing protests.

I also find it amusing that the tone of your post is that you rightly don't want there to be pointless fights and denounce said pointless fights, but also lament poor language (e.g. "...racist murders"...) while simultaneously using it yourself. Seems pointless given the article in question doesn't use the language you are using nor does it make the claims you're hypothesizing.

During 2010-2017, I worked on creating a "pocket server", the size of a keyfob, which would be the basis of a pads/tabs/boards personal computing environment. It would connect to any number of local screen devices via Bluetooth or Wifi Direct.

It failed because I had no prior experience of developing hardware, and had rather a lot of back luck with HW engineering contractors and contract manufacturers. Some of the story is recounted at https://changelog.com/posts/how-i-volunteered-to-rearchitect...

I just assumed most people weren’t living under a rock and were aware of the basic facts of COVID. Study from Italy shows almost 90% of hospitalizations are in the 65+ group: https://academic.oup.com/biomedgerontology/article/75/9/1796...

So just to sum it up again for you:

90% of 65+ are vaccinated in the US.

This study shows an attack rate of 60% which means vaccinated individuals can both contract and spread the virus.

Previously infected individuals had an attack rate of 0%.

So no, mass vaccination of the younger population provides no “public good” and for younger individuals probably has a negative cost/benefit due to side effects.

In the US, there are hundreds of thousands of police officers who have hundreds of millions of public interactions a year. Almost 100% of those interactions are fair, just policing and not an instance of racism or brutality or some other offense.

Indoor dining in the Bay Area has been mask free for months (the SF Gate is a San Francisco publication).
I agree that there's absolutely a cycle and don't intend to diminish that or imply that those left behind don't matter or are to blame for their situation. There's clearly reasons why people decide to riot or protest, even if it doesn't necessarily bring about the desired outcomes.

White flight and red lining tend to get thrown around without any attempt to tackle reasons why these things happened beyond some surface level talk of not liking people that are different.
Commercial users still take copyright issues pretty seriously because of the remedies available to copyright holders under title 17.
Even if an author doesn't register the copyright until they want to begin the suit (you lose statutory damages and attorneys fees this way), they can get an injunction against further distribution and disgorgement of profits from the infringing work, so if you get caught, your product is dead and has made (you) no money. This is also why the FSF/SFLC has like a 100% success rate when it comes to extracting highly favorable settlements.

Without a doubt people still infringe, but it's not a complete free for all.
Indeed - SP2 brought in the firewall which finally got rid of the Blaster and Sasser type-viruses that could be executed remotely because most folks still had their PC connected to the Internet with a public IPv4 address.

Kiwi Farms deliberately attacks those who are vulnerable, in the most hurtful way. You or I might be able to brush off some internet trolls, but what if they start targeting, doxing, and suicide baiting your friends? What if some of those friends are already in a vulnerable place? Are you resilient to that?

We can't fix this problem by somehow immunizing the population against abuse. Words hurt, and they hurt some people more than others. The only way to fix this is to hold those who abuse others accountable for their actions, as well as those who enable them. This is no different from harassment and stalking in real life. Those are already punished by law. The problem is the law is behind the times, and harassment on the internet is still largely something people get to do with impunity.

KiwiFarms exists thanks to Cloudflare (Domain, DNS, DDoS protection) and FiberHub (colocation), who provide services to them and refuse to do anything about the abuse perpetrated by this customer. KiwiFarms isn't even some darknet site; they are openly hosted in the US.
Near as I can tell from people in the industry - people are being 10x worse than they were before, and they were pretty bad before. In clearly objective ways, like starting fights with other customers, starting fights with staff, etc.

Covid tightened the screws on a lot of folks mentally, and it’s really clear which direction some people went.
Could URL authorship confirmation be implemented on top of TLS? If someone takes over a domain, the final certificate in the chain will be issued to another entity, and that could be enough to trigger a notice. Could be achievable with a centralized registry/crawler like Internet Archive, but one that only keeps track of domain:certificate mapping.

Of course, the devil’s in the details (infrastructure/organizational changes can trigger false positives; shared hosting setup can cause false negatives; it presumes that if the original entity abandons a domain they’d revoke the cert; etc.), but IMO it wouldn’t be worthless as it is.
Also, if Ford hit a panic button and produced the F150 Lightning, keep pressing that button, it's working.
Yes of course. When Bitcoin drops in price, tether increases in price. Bitfinex has to issue more to keep the price at $1.

> Launches will only get cheaper over time. The base station is also likely to decrease in price over time due to economies of scale.

This is much more true for cable than it is for satellite launches, a d yet it hasn't really happened.

> Starlink is one of the very few satellite providers that can provide enough bandwidth (due to the large constellation) that an entire village could share a single base station.

Starlink needs a huge paying base to pay for the huge cost of the constellation, which needs to be rebuilt and re-launched every 5 years. Every extra customer reduces the bandwidth that the constellation can offer to every other customer, so overall their cost per customer will be exorbitant.

Remember that the prices we are seeing today are heavily subsidized by the US government, and they are anyway selling at a considerable loss. The bandwidth we are seeing today is the bandwidth of 1600 satellites and a handful of customers - it is basically a best case scenario, at least for the current technology.
Interestingly enough there is no arm version for mac, but there is a version for Haiku.
Eight bucks just for the water to draw a bath? No thanks.

Residential and city use is a) a drop in the proverbial bucket (20% of California water use) and b) comes from a completely different system. For the most part it's drawn from snowmelt in the Sierras, and even when drought gets pretty bad it's been sustainable. Fingers crossed it will stay that way.

Really it's farmers who should pay for water, and hard limits on aquifer withdrawal. They'll hate it but there's not enough to go around and I don't see an alternative.

Also worth pointing out that California is an enormous place and what applies to the Central and Imperial Valleys doesn't apply to, say, the San Joaquin Delta. There's no good reason to stop growing rice in the latter, because the acre-feet of water which go into doing so are just going to flow directly into the Bay otherwise.

Maybe we could pay for more of it to be diverted into the Central Valley if there was some sort of profit in it. Water auctions, say.
Well, the picture in article showing the staff with mask and face shield!. In texas sadly most of the restaurant wait staff still wear mask.
It's not about their website. They openly dox people, and those around them. Near ignored them at first, then they went to harass, dox, and suicide bait Near's friends. How do you ignore that? The forums themselves may look like it's an insulated bubble of hate, but the reality is that a subset of their users coordinate targeted attacks on more secluded platforms. The forums are just the front for much deeper abuse.
These are so cliche that they mean nothing. They're all the same question. Superficially different, but fundamentally three same. There nothing to sink your teeth into, because they're all made up. Asking something with some grounding in reality gives us something to actually chew on.

Corehash Protocol – Decentralized hashrate liquidity provision with HashFi
Hi everyone,

I've been working on a project called Corehash for a while. I'm a solo founder with no team, but I've been envisioning a new protocol that can change the way we look at finance and hashpower from the bottom up - by using smart contracts to create a vault similar to Aave or Yearn, but with a simple hashrate product constant formula, similar to Uniswap, to enable liquidity provision of hashrate demand, through an internalized hashrate token AMM model.

I've published a white paper that goes into the full details, you can read it here: www.corehash.org/whitepaper.pdf, or you can read it on Medium: https://medium.com/corehash/corehash-hashpower-liquidity-provision-vault-staking-protocol-c12d5dfd2fc2

It also has some interesting use cases with MEV extraction and frontrunning as well, like with Flashbots, creating a MEV premium hashrate market protocol, as well as a MEV protection market like sequencers, but fully on the base-layer blockchain, at the miner level, interfacing directly with miners and searchers.

This is all the research I've been making on my own, and I finally released it to the public, and I wanted to see if there was anyone interested in collaborating, or just community building something like this for the masses, fully open-sourced, grassroots, decentralized, through a DAO governance + community from the ground up.
I've laid out the groundwork from my past development with some others on the previous iteration of this project, while you can check out on Github, https://github.com/corehash, it's all very preliminary, but I've setup the organization to try to form a hub for contributors to work on it together, sort of like the cutting edge MEV research and with Flashbots' approach (although they have backing from Paradigm, and super talented devs).

The goal here is to solve problems and provide a solution as well as a whole new way to enable decentralized finance bridged with PoW mining income. You can kind of think of it as taking some of the best projects in the DeFi space and adding a token economic system for liquidity mining hashrate demand liquidity directly from miners through the pool mining protocol level, integrated on-chain with smart contracts and oracles. In theory, you could achieve some pretty cool applications, like Alchemix, with self-paying loans, but instead with mining income, and undercollateralized loans like a line of credit with hashpower, income-generating, reserve assets. OlympusDAO, but with hashrate reserve assets, stablecoins like USDC but backed by hashpower vault assets.

You can read more in detail in the white paper, and I hope to hear anyone thoughts and discussion of this, providing constructive feedback.

Thanks, I changed the wording.
Even in the most water efficient cities people use 40 gallons per day. You're talking $10 per person per day just for water. A family of four would spend at least $1,200 per month on water. Even desalination is way cheaper than 25 cents per gallon.
Well, you can once the phone is paid for. We could give out codes to unlock it from our network after that. Noone wants to buy phones outright or put money down, though. I agree you should be able to install whatever os you want once it's paid for as well, but I was under the impression that's a manufacturer thing not a carrier thing.
Yeah that doesn't read well, but keep on reading.

If you're implying I don't see value in solving problems I've never seen before, part of my objection is precisely that these "problems" aren't it. They're all the same. You pull 3-5 numbers out of your moderately informed ass and multiply them together. This is not "a problem I've never seen before", it's a problem I've heard a hundred times before. There's no creativity here, it's a dreadfully dull and well-established process.
