Hard to say without more specifics on how exactly carbon captured is proven.

For a concrete example - let's say planting a 50ft tree to maturity constitutes capture. In other words, if I point to a lat and long and show that there wasn't a tree here before, and now there is, I receive the coin.

Well, if you spent energy moving a mature tree from another place, you've not only killed the existing tree, but eventually the tree you've replanted will die too.

That's the sort of scenario I'm referring to.
Wizard Harry got my funds back so fast
I bring you all reading this short story of mine a special greetings and letter of advice so you don't end up being scammed, I'm Augustine Eli from Illinois, I invested with a broker trade site where I ended up paying more just to withdraw my profit of which I paid capital for. After paying 5 times fee I noticed it is all fraud and these scammers never give up until one has to stop by itself. I lose $201,391.04 US dollars to this bitcoin trade broker's scam. after I noticed I was being used, I ended up searching for a recovery agent hacker, I came across two different recovery scammer entirely who knows very much on how to make you believe that they are capable of what they are doing not knowing that it was a total fraud. to make it shot I was finally referred to Wizard Harry by a friend and I wrote to wizardharry AT programmer DOT net and then explained everything to him, he responded fast and i decided to work with him, in less than 72 hours i received my lose funds. All thanks to Wizard Harry who gave me back my life again. WhatsApp wizard Harry (+1) (807)/ 808. 6168.;

On some machines, yes. Not on a sit down machine where your legs go under the screen, and there's stuff on top of the screen.

Maaaaaaaaybe, this machine could get by with an ultra-wide screen, because it's got two player stations next to each other with a partition in the middle, but that's a big maybe. Plus I'd need something to link the two independently clocked video feeds into a single wide display.

Not the best example, I agree. But they did make many small games before Towerfall even if they didn't really try too hard to sell them
I’m disappointed to see Gwern fail to appreciate why social incentivization schemes cannot be decentralized. You have to trust someone (possibly a cartel) to authenticate claims about the state of the world, and that represents a SPOF. The only proof-of-x systems that are any good are systems that can be validated non-interactively and with no trusted third parties.

You can add as many epicycles and “auditors” as you like and this won’t change the core problem.
Was gonna post this story about the Resnicks in my own comment, but saw yours: https://story.californiasunday.com/resnick-a-kingdom-from-du...
There are actually already a lot of great pictures of UFO's out there [0]. The problem is exactly as you said: because these are typically from ordinary people or organizations, people cry "I could do this with Photoshop!" (and that is probably the true origin for many of them). I know someone personally who has a pretty good quality photo, which isn't faked, and isn't a plane or drone or ball lightning, but I wouldn't expect to be able to convince a reasonably skeptical person on the internet about its validity. So you end up with the skeptics taking a No True Scotsman position, which is intellectually counter-productive.

So, we have this "phenomenon" which is clearly quite active on our planet, but which does not want to be identified, for whatever reasons. Perhaps the reason there are any sightings at all are because of the sheer volume of their activity, because they are exerting influence on events, or as a means of making a slow and gradual introduction. Is there a military cover-up of this information? Absolutely. The amount of secrecy around this for nearly 80 years is unparalleled. Is it because some general or defense contractor or masonic lodge really cares so much if people know that there is a greater intelligence here? Probably not. The disclosure of centralized, credible phenomenon-related information is likely driven entirely by the phenomenon itself. So even with this movement for transparency the last few years, I'm not optimistic about getting the truth anytime soon.

Seeing as these are the only two comments you've made on this thread, it seems like you're not ignoring what you claim should be ignored and taking all this a bit too seriously.

Whether it makes sense to add the stage name to a resource name is a decision that is informed by a wider context that includes hosting environment, deployment pattern and configuration approach. It can make sense in some situations and can be a bad idea in other situations.
> Users on niche CPU architectures which haven't been sold commercially for 15+ years were the only ones impacted.

This is kind of the root of the problem, when you are kind of a hobbyist dev wanted to work with the latest shinny new version of everything, then everything is fine.

But when you try to do different things that are not mainstream or doing embedded, then you understand why sometimes you have to keep old software or hardware.

Rust like go are made for a connected world, where you are always upstream, always connected to get the latest versions, and it's ok to do breaking change to the language every few years.

Did you ever try to build a Linux from scratch? Trying to fit some build or runtime constraints? Then you learn the real cost of each dependency that is added and of their complexity.

Imagine you had that much dependencies to build a kernel, probably this much of memory, CPU and storage used. Now you need to add rust, its dependencies, other tools related to it. Each dependency possibly not supporting your system or configuration or require their own library dependencies in a new version that is maybe conflicting with older versions already used by the system. And that you can't change without breaking other existing programs in the system. And maybe you can fix these other applications to support the new version of the library but you just wanted to "update" your kernel and not spend 10 days reworking your system unexpectedly because a stupid update required it.
You know I tend to agree with the previous poster, not that it's a hack, but that I've always felt its a bit backward reasoning. You say the physics should be invariant under curvature of the field, but it isn't unless you add another field to cancel it. But you might as well have said from the start that the field is curved by another field and we need to consider that in our derivatives that describe our local physics, making them covariant. The explanation that "it makes sense that the fields are locally gauge invariant" always seemed a bit constructed after the fact so to speak.

The argument isn't against physicists inventing new fields or interactions to fit data. The argument is about why you can motivate it as "something that has to be added out of pure logic" :)
"The goal was never to eradicate COVID from being annoying" does sound surprising considering all we've been hearing about the effectiveness of the mRNA at preventing infections of non-Delta COVID. But then, that high effectiveness was once itself a surprise, so it may make sense if the point of reference is before the original clinical trials were finished.
With the attendant increase in carbon emissions to transport it though.
Not. Fauci a year ago:

Infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci said Wednesday he believes the world will “get control of” Covid-19, but “I don’t really see us eradicating it,” expressing a view in line with public health experts—but directly contradicting President Donald Trump’s claims made as recently as Tuesday that the virus will “disappear”

It does sometimes in the US.

Some agencies will pay companies to perform digital forensic work necessary to offer data. Even administration of the job of forensic work, ie PM level assistance can be compensated.

This includes if a company is served a subpoena and a warrant to provide certain data.

Billing can be good, certainly valley-competitive.

Iirc, this has been well covered as a thing that happens at big tech companies, including fb, but it also can apply to small ones.
But the point of the post is to outline a process which is not temporary and is allegedly hard-to-transport.
Sounds like the landscaping picked wasn't the right choice for the climate you reside in.

Rain patterns and seasonal temperature have changed over the last 20 years, landscaping that made sense when I was a kid no longer works in many areas without daily watering.
What about inheritors?

They inherit the property. To them, it is too much effort to try and rent out versus write off the loss on their taxes.

> I'm within easy walking distance of a bus stop. However, the bus goes mostly east and west, rather than north to where I work.

This is the US? I'll happily grant you that the bus system is terrible.

> I could also technically walk to a convenience store or perhaps a supermarket. It doesn't take that long to walk a mile or two.

That's way too far. Don't beat yourself for not walking.

> The fact that it is, means that's where the statistics show up indirectly.

Sure. That's a bummer. Hopefully we can fix that someday.

> Furthermore, as a matter of geometry, any city that is more or less a roundish blob, is going to have more space near the edges than the center. So it seems plausible to me that it's more representative of a city lifestyle. The very center in several cities I've been in is almost completely commercial.

This pattern: (big towers?) commerical monoculture in the center, gradual peetering off, is very (North) American. A lot of other places have stricter transitions at the city boundary, and less division within the city.
Seeing the “goalposts” argument is so tiring. We learn something new every day, of course our understanding of COVID changes and thus the recommendation of how to keep ourselves healthy does too.

They made no explanation to tell me what was going on, and as I pointed out I had purchased the same product many times before (as in buying a single once or twice a year over the last decade, not every day).

If they want to control the sale of it then they can put it behind the counter or put a giant advisory sign nex tto it on the shelf. But they don't do that because it will hurt profits. I don't care about their problems with meth heads.

This is not just about the situation of buying one kind of cold medicine. I'm in my 50s, why should I need to present ID if I wish to buy a beer or attend a show? Sure, the answer is 'we have to minimize our liability' but the answer to that is not to violate everyone else's privacy and autonomy.

I'm an easygoing responsible person who doesn't do stupid shit. I'm just running out of patience with public and commercial entities handing me the metaphorical bill for every imaginable security issue. The USA has turned into a nation of paranoids where people are interrogated over things like nail clippers.
I have been a huge fan of this issue, too!

For additional bonus points, have your single entry point exhibit a CLI that properly documents everything the developer can do, i.e. what features are available, what environment variables and config flags can be set etc. That way, the code essentially documents itself and you know longer have to keep your README file updated (which people always tend to forget).

There’s no fundamental human right to a monopoly of an idea. This is actively acknowledged in the language of the US Constitution.

If Apple actually delivered what was best for consumers, knock-offs wouldn’t matter too much.

My actual argument is that either we must regulate the idea monopoly we created or eliminate it by stopping the government protectionism.

I had a similar problem. Large archive files, quick random access was paramount. I considered SquashFS, but rejected it due to poor tooling on Windows, and I wanted my thing to be cross-platform. The format also seemed like something I'd need to spend some time understanding.

Surprisingly, ZIP came to my rescue. It's surprisingly flexible, and includes support for Unix attributes and modern compression. In comparison to tar.xz, it was strictly superior in every way.

ISO is also a good format with broad support, with many platforms now supporting mounting the contents using the built-in OS features. The only downside I could find is lack of compression, but there are supposedly format extensions that can help with that.

When did anyone say "2 weeks to stop the spread"

I remember "2 Weeks to slow the curve" and Trump's "15 days to slow the spread" but I don't remember anyone ever saying eradication was simply 2 weeks of lockdown away.

Even if it was as simple as 2 weeks away, many people chose to ignore the stay-at-home orders, so it's not really achievable. I think you're confusing 'moving goal posts' with constant failure to reach a goal followed by readjustment to new data.
Homeownership is stupid speculation which makes things unaffordable. Single family homes also prevent density. We could have a "condo economy" but there's no good reason to.

More broadly, the problem isn't rent, but landlords. Rent is fine, it's when rent feeds into rentiers that the bad extraction happens. The solution is to make it "rent all the way up".

For example, do a maximal land value tax where the "tax" is so high it eats up the value of the land...and thus becomes rent. The rent goes to the state, and much of it is distributed as a dividend back to the people. That completes the loop, rent all the way around. All flows, no stocks.
Quitting coffee (all caffeine, with coffee being my favorite source) brought my dreams back after two weeks or so.

Well, since you obviously can't be bothered to do the research I will tell you. It didn't take them long at all. There were studies looking at the impact of boron-doping and gallium-doping back in the 70s. So why was a patent issued in 2000 that everyone has been waiting to expire? Why hadn't we moved from boron-doped PV substrate to gallium-doped substrate in the two decades between those points? Maybe that is the question you should have been asking.

Turns out that it is incredibly fucking hard to manufacture silicon ingots with the correct doping but without too much oxygen in them that make the gallium-doped wafers perform worse than boron-doped ones. Everyone knew gallium was a better target, no one had a fucking clue how to make them at scale or at an acceptable cost. Figuring this out is ENTIRELY what this patent is about.

Indeed. But what do you think (or suspect, or hope) would be different about a Mastodon instance playing the same role?

My hunch is that the characteristics of ND are caused by its perceived role, not the technology, hosting arrangements or (lack of) federalization/locality.
IMHO wacom did something similar for their EMR pen tablet technology - whole in this case indeed a clever idea (pen tabled needs no battery, possibly other benefits) they only choose to build super expensive pro level drawing tablets (especially the prices of their LCD drawing tablets used to be INSANE) and only licensed the technology for presumably lot of money for high end third party products.

End result - good chunk of a generation of aspiring digital artists lost due to unaffordable tools.

Now when their patents finally expired and they have actual competition (xp pen, huion and others) it turns out huge surprise they actually can produce good quality and achievable drawing tablets like the Wacom One.

Progress of arts and sciences indeed!

If it happens again, it may be worth asking. I don’t think this is the kind of thing agencies offer cash for out of hand.

I don’t know how law-enforcement is funded there, but presumably they do use contractors and service providers.

If their alternative is to pay a contractor who has no familiarity with your system, it would be preferable to simply pay the person who knows what they’re doing and be done with it.
Because the alternatives are going through the same process. It's not like only one neighborhood suffers from this, it's market wide, so as a renter, there is no better elsewhere to move too. The dying once lively neighborhood is still livelier than the dying was never lively neighborhood next to it, etc.
Why not just... Look before crossing?
But… what restrictions are you suggesting? There was one major restriction right from the start; many countries didn’t allow AZ for over 65s for a while, due to deficiencies in the first trial (and that one usually was dropped). But all other current restrictions are as a result of later discoveries.
So, how do I validate my "Bitcoin" blockchain non-interactively, trusting no one? How do I prove I have the blockchain, and I haven't downloaded one that forked some time ago?

A lot of the numbers that people cite were inaccurate and revoked by the original authors, but people keep on citing the old bad numbers. The vast majority of water used by cows is 'green water' that comes from rainfall that will fall there cows or not, on top of land that you cannot use for plant crops, only for raising cattle.

Ruminant animal meat is here to stay, for the plain old reason that with a lot of land and natural rainfall water, the only way you can get food from that land is from ruminant animals such as cows and sheep. To not use it would make the price of plant food skyrocket as food demand gets redirected onto plant crops from beef and plant food supply cannot redirect nearly as fast in that hypothetical situation.

I was part of the set of kids who had the first versions of Net Nanny and “find my iPhone” equivalents rolled out.

NetNanny, which was basically a very visible firewall, automatically incentivized a search for more network access, and treating that access like a fat kid in a candy store for much longer than I’m happy with today.

The early “find my iPhone” tech that cell providers rolled out probably worked well until it sent me, a 16 y/o with angst issues, a text saying my cell phone was now enrolled and being tracked. Fairly enraging at the time.

The counter though is with some knowledge of silent firewalls and IAM, I could see considering something similar
But significantly
More silent, as a parent.

There is fairly shocking discussion around kids<>porn access<>serious issues with healthy sexuality. Screen time is turning young kids into zombies; there is just no planet where unrestricted tech access is good for the growing brain. The current Gen pop attitudes towards tech don’t offer much form of support - their kids are buried in an iPhone, my personal parenting policy will be a inherent critique of their parenting. PTAs see no issue with default Facebook use, thus enrolling my children in an data logging system I specifically work to avoid.

Add in disinfo campaigns and the young mind…

All this to say: invisible training wheels, or rather invisible walls and some tracking, seem to be the only way to raise a kid who must know tech, but won’t learn how to handle full exposure to it until well after 18 (bc adults are struggling too). Conversely, if that surveillance is discovered, it’s hell to pay as a parent. Tricky.
Can someone ELI5? The Tweet and the "This will cause no issues" feels tongue-in-cheek and the gif suggests there will most likely be issues.
A welcome endeavor. Too many programmers are used to treat floats as cursed entities.

More awareness is needed. If implementation details such as rounding mode, CPU features, etc.. are pinned down there is little reason not to write tests that are meant to be accurate to the last bit. Instead of the awkward "near enough" approach.
Securely deleting the keys is safer than simply practically inaccessible. That suggests their is some impractical way to access the data, care to suggest what that might be?
So you think SciHub deserves it? And that we’re better off without their voice?

Obviously, you’re free to think what you like but this seems like a sad and limited worldview. Assuming that everything removed from my perception deserves to be removed.
All of the sentences in the paragraph are real sentences from physics but they're strong together like they were generated by GPT-3 or something. For instance what does "how lengths determine in spacetime" mean? Why is it saying that curvature is what we feel as force? Why is it suddenly talking about test particles without introducing the term? Why does it jump to talking about geodesics in the last sentence? etc. it just feels like it was strung together by an algorithm.

The level of discourse and critical thinking in the mainstream media is made for uneducated people who don't understand even basic biology.

There is a certain breed of scientist that just spouts bullshit. Unfortunately the media is so obsessed with "narratives" that it will seek these people out (and these bullshit artists seek out the media) so all nuance is lost.

The moral of the story is, don't let other people do your thinking for you.
