It's also a non sequitur.

The Arctic Circle being "most sensitive to climate change", doesn't mean drilling for gas and oil in the Article Circle is a cause or any significant factor to this sensitivity (over drilling anywhere else).

In other words:

(1) oil and gas can cause/contribute to climate change

(2) The Article Circle might be most sensitive to climate change

(3) Drilling for gas and oil and thus increasing production will contribute to climate change (after that oil is consumed)

(4) Drilling has impact of its own (like spills) that might damage the Article Circle

But that doesn't mean that drilling in a sensitive to climate change area incurs any more climate change impact to that area over drilling in SA or Texas or wherever.

Climate change impact is about the increased production - not about where the drill happened.
That is for applications specifically written to compute on the secure element, no?
I saw this post in my hotel room this morning in downtown Rome and decided to make this restaurant the park around the Appian Way our early afternoon plans. Fantastic meal. Thanks for sharing.
Why do you think these things would happen? (Also, how is the military responsible for maintaining law and order?)
I mean I could do that. I could also just not associate my phone with a real Google account and then only use it for phone calls and signal messages.

The point is that you shouldn't need to jump through flaming hoops to avoid Google's spying
> This is a good idea but tough to do. Prior appropriation claims are legally considered vested property rights.

Re-nationalize them or at the very least make them expire in 10 to 20 years. The current developments are serious enough to justify taking these "rights" away.
I had my second dose in the UK after 5 weeks, by just going to a walk in centre and asking - apparently they had way too many doses they would be wasted otherwise, so they were happy to give it to anyone asking. Apparently the absolute NHS-mandated minimum is 3 weeks between doses, that's the one they can't disobey. But the 8 week minimum is much more flexible.
Yeah the heart can beat according to its internal pace maker and a CNC machine can move about and cut a work piece according to its internal program. We have no reason to believe that either is sentient. Maybe a thousand or so years ago when people did not fully understand that the brain is where consciousness takes place. Nowadays there is no excuse. Autonomy is not sentience. Your heart does not have feelings or a sense of self. Evolution did not require that to build a somewhat self regulating muscular pump. The rock vs. cpu example was a little hyperbolic I guess.

My point is simply the presence of interconnected neurons running a certain program is not sufficient to give rise to sentience or conciousness. I believe what we call sentience or conciousness is not an accident or even really an "emergent" phenomenon but rather the direct, purposeful result of specific structure that was selected for by evolution.

The phrase "level of complexity" is inartful because it implies there is one axis or dimension to complexity when that is not the case. If you make a random soup of 100 billion interconnected neurons and teach it to classify images it is highly unlikely that you will get a sentient being by accident although you may have a very efficient neural network at the task it was designed for. If however you take a 100 billion neurons and subject them to the selective pressures of evolution in the real world, where a sentient or self aware self may have advantage then it is not unlikely perhaps that you end up with a sentient or counscious being. Thus sentience is the result of specific selected for structure not the random outcome of a certain level of complexity. I don't see why this is even contraversial.

General intelligence does not exist divorced from the real world and it does not just happen as the side effect of a certian "level" of complexity.

With regard to the question is the heart of a cow smarter than a planiar (worm) whole organism I do not see this as a meaningful question because the starting premise is wrong. The starting premise assumes that there is some abstract quality "sentience" or "intelligence" that exists on a single axis, a continuum of "levels." I'd say the axis does not exist, there are no levels, what matters are functions and it is not meaningful to argue whether or not the planarian or the heart is at a higher level of intelligence because the preform different functions. Notably one is a free living creature while another is an organ inside another creater. I think they are incomparable. Neither has the specific brain structure that gives humans and other higher animals sentience so it does not make sense to argue whether one or the other is at a higher level when neither is at any level at all in terms of a structural or functional comparison with a brain. A worm is not further ahead or behind a heart when compared to a brain because neither is anything like a brain. Maybe a plannarian can learn. I doubt a heart can learn but maybe it can. But overall the idea of levels of sentience or sentience simply emerging from complexity that does not intentionally provide for it is silly in my opinion.
What if it had gone the other way, and longer intervals made the vaccine significantly less effective?

I do agree with you on the whole, but for me it’s a very difficult choice, not an obvious one.
Using Emacs as a Sunk Cost Fallacy
Why would food costs increase 10x? It’s not particularly hard to make ammonia fertilizer with renewables. Ammonia is made using hydrogen already (not fossil fuels directly, as is mistakenly believed by many), it’s just that usually that comes from natural gas. The price of ammonia might increase a bit in the near term as we make it with clean hydrogen, but it wouldn’t increase food prices 10x. Secondly, electric tractors are a thing and that wouldn’t be too hard, either (and you can use ammonia as fuel for more traditional combine and tractor engines if you want).

EDIT: John Deere has done some interesting work with electrified tractors and other farm implements, including finding ways to avoid using a battery (with an autonomous tractor using a cable): https://www.futurefarming.com/Machinery/Articles/2020/3/John...

What major superpower does that remind me of...
A lot of us in the hills around Austin are putting in rooftop rainwater systems — we expect at-the-well metering in the next 10 years. Most of us are on grades, and a 1500’ footprint lets you put in 20k gallon system under the house — that amortizes to about 4 months of water, depending the family size. Shipping water from LBJ is a cheap stopgap.
Hmm, so the "highest" numbers would be publicly-knowable numbers anyway (because they are the numbers to dial and contact the government/customer service of a private company).

If this is only a list of numbers and their relative popularity, the best you can do is accusation of adultery (and even in that, you could say that you're "popular" because coworkers also store your numbers).
I'm not sure it's that easy: if you just reduce consumption but don't touch production, someone with less scruples than you can buy (slightly) cheaper oil and use it.

I guess the big deal is to come up with alternatives that can compete on cost with oil?
The company I work for that was founded 9 years and has been sold to a multi-million euro company calls itself a startup. It drives me nuts.
I live in an apartment and use 1750 gallons a month.
That’s sort of true. The point was imprecise, but the Arctic is also sensitive to oil spills and is dangerous to operate in.
Pedantic note: nationalising an industry doesn't always affect the incentives that result from capitalism. Sometimes it does (because it has to deal with the externalities, so the government would lose out if it kept the industry behaving like that), but in cases where the harm is international and the benefit is national, the incentives are the same.

(Yes, I understand that these particular incentives result from any situation of competition for resources, and aren't inherently related to the economic system. However, the point is more general.)
I think what you're missing is that oil extraction doesn't happen in a vacuum. The externalities of extracting oil from the arctic circle would be massively detrimental to the local environment. Not to mention the fact that any accidental oil spill or a well blowout would wreck havoc on the biodiversity and local species in the region mostly because according to the consensus opinion of many scientists, "we do not have the technology, nor the infrastructure, to deal with the specific challenges of a disaster in this region."

Here's a list [1] of a few other reasons on why this is a bad idea.

I'm in Australia, and our pandemic's management from some of our governments is a bit like dropped spaghetti. Ie it's a big mess.

Anyway, the frustrating issue is that advice seems to be risk based mixed with environmental conditions. Which seems sensible, but I actually think it's not the correct approach.

So right now we have a bloom of Delta in Sydney, and our medical advice was previously not recommending AZ because of the chance of blood clots. However now the situation is really quickly getting out of hand and they are recommending AZ.

It strongly seems like they considered Australia being some island all on it's own some massive mitigating factor which changed the impact of the virus. And as a consequence a lot of people are without any vaccine and a lot of hesitancy about AZ.
The failure here was they thought they had time to wait for pfizer.

But Delta acts like Delta and is just spreading around like wildfire. I actually believe some of the advice is suffering from normalization of deviance. Where the deviance is being able to suppress the virus with things like quarantine. As opposed to getting everyone vaccinated.

Oh btw, I'm under 40 and got AZ because I'm willing to risk it. I've never been struck by lighting and i've done way riskier things.
Equinor (formerly Statoil) is only one of operators, although all of them are taxed by the state. And while two thirds of Equinor's equity are held by the state, it's a public company.

I think this is gonna be a hard sell.

The standard economic analysis of cooperatives is that, being run by their employees, they find it hard to embrace disruptive change (e.g. change which involves firing people). Hence, you probably buy your food from a shareholder-owned business, not an employee-owned cooperative.

Linux is a bit like a cooperative in that decisions are made by the software engineers, not by shareholders or managers. In particular, most Linux contributors are probably heavily invested in C. If Rust gets the big boost of being allowed into the kernel, that could make C - and their own skills - be perceived as less valuable, maybe even obsolete eventually.

I'll do some economic imperialism here, and claim that Rust's technical merits or otherwise are a second-order issue. Linux developers have an interest in keeping C dominant, so that will probably happen.

This has been on my mind lately a lot with Nextdoor. I have really mixed feelings about Nextdoor which is a slightly separate issue, but it always seemed to me that something like Mastodon or maybe even SSB would be an ideal use case in the same space as Nextdoor. You could have local communities around local servers, that have some natural reason to organize about that (geography), but are still loosely federated.

I'm not sure where my thoughts are going, as I'm not exactly surprised Nextdoor has more use than a more decentralized system for this use, but it's salient to me as I'd think something like SSB or Mastodon would ideally occupy the space that Nextdoor is occupying. I'm not sure if it is highlighting the legwork that Nextdoor did to build up its userbase (physically mailing people in a community), or the lack of technical sophistication of users in general, or the relative infancy of Mastodon/SSB/etc, or something inherent about getting a foot in the door with decentralized stuff in terms of mindset, or some inherent limitations of decentralization (can you really just compel/convince people to use decentralized services? People just use them).

I'm trying to imagine, for example, local police posting to Mastodon about some local safety issue in the same way as on Nextdoor. With Nextdoor, it's something known nationally, the state probably gives them recommendations, they just post to Nextdoor. Nextdoor might have even reached out to them. With e.g., Mastodon, I suppose I could see it being recognized as a thing if use got up, but where are they posting? The local popular servers? Do they run their own police server? Some kind of city government server?

This isn't a criticism of decentralization -- I'd like to see everything more decentralized. I just think something like Nextdoor is an interesting case to me to think through these issues because Nextdoor is so localized, and it seems like that's kind of the ideal use case for decentralized services.
People are trying but facing resistance from the same people who resist it at higher ages. We can’t “just fix that” because any discussion of social equity in education brings out active resistance and even death threats.
What's the difference, that you save 200MB of disk space?

>It's not dissimilar to being unable to remove bundled software on android.

It actually makes less sense on android since bundled apps are typically installed on the /system partition, which means they don't really take up any disk space (the space allocated to the /system partition is the same regardless of whether the app is there or not).
I couldn't think of a good use for a low resolution, laggy grayscale mix-in video of my real environment.

The page does show one use case that I'm very interested in--showing the rough position of my hands, keyboard and mouse. If there's to be advancements in VR development environments, it has to at least have an input mechanism that's as good as what we have in the real world. Having the same in VR is as good and can be improved upon.

De-salination produces enormous amounts of saltwater brine that are usually dumped back into the ocean... which in turn threatens marine life: https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-46863146

Exactly, people forget that actually, the official government message is NOT the snippet on BBC or in a newspaper, there's usually a much longer and complex explanation to be found directly on NHS website or you can ask your GP. I have this problem with my mum - she watches the news and complains that the government never explains anything properly - but I'm like, mum....you realize news stations aren't the government, right? You're just getting the abridged version and complain you don't see the full picture.

Summary:

- The BBC provided full live coverage of all events for the 2012 and 2016 Olympics, but not this time.

- US broadcasting Discovery won the pan-European rights up until the 2024 Olympics in Paris after out-bidding the BBC.

- the BBC later agreed a deal with Discovery in 2016 to sub-license the rights but has dramatically less coverage than normal, only allowed to show two live sports simultaneously in addition to highlights.

- Facing questions over its coverage, a BBC presenter tweeted: "...the BBC is only allowed to show two sports at the same time. It is an issue about TV rights and not an editorial choice."

The above may seem perfectly normal for folks outside the UK (bigger bid wins), but the limited coverage is a surprise to some UK viewers expecting full Olympics coverage. The BBC's full (ad-free) coverage of the 2012 and 2016 Olympics included live streaming of every event as well as catch-up (on-demand) availability too. This year is a big downgrade to what people were expecting.
Also: the world isn't particularly efficient with energy input in agriculture, because we don't have to be.

If oil prices were to rise a lot, people would find all kinds of ways to economize and substitute. Especially in the longer run.

And, of course, if food becomes expensive enough, many people would switch away from eating expensive meat towards more and cheaper plants.

That's an economic statement, but also a statement in terms of energy costs.
Thought I'd share this interesting take:

> Prof David Curtis, Honorary Professor, UCL Genetics Institute, said: “While it is true that people diagnosed with schizophrenia are also more likely to be diagnosed with cannabis use disorder, the reasons for this association are far from clear and it is extremely difficult to interpret results such as these with confidence. I am struck by two simple findings. In Denmark, the incidence in schizophrenia in 2016 was about the same as it had been in 1996 but over the same period of time the prevalence of cannabis use disorder increased nearly five-fold. If, as the authors suggest, cannabis use disorder can cause schizophrenia then there should have been a quite dramatic increase in schizophrenia incidence and we simply do not see that. So far as I can see, this study does not really provide support for the hypothesis that cannabis use causes schizophrenia. In fact, it seems to provide evidence that it does not.”
I wouldn't call what I write a tutorial per se, more of a "I went through this problem and this is how I solved it". And consequently, I went through this problem in ClojureScript. I even linked to the project I'm building, which is entirely ClojureScript. Perhaps ClojureScript isn't for you, and that's fine, but seems odd for me to criticize on the merit of language choice when you're on what is effectively a programmers forum.
When recreational marijuana is legalized, cigarette sales rise
I mostly agree with your post, except using a zero day on a small (especially self-hosted) server is very rarely blowing it. In fact I would bet the majority of self-hosted or small-time servers wouldn't have the first clue about how to figure out how you got in, let alone parsing logs to figure out the exploit. Assuming they even log sufficiently, hiring a forensics expert is almost certainly out of the question financially.

There's no way this would be cost effective for malware authors, especially considering the risk involved in physically putting yourself out there.
It's incredibly arrogant to assume that the only reason why people might come to a different conclusion from you is that they've been manipulated into thinking that way through marketing. It's simply impossible that the indoctrination only occurred to other people and not yourself, right?

Your entire argument seems to be that "not every manufacturer's top of the line devices matches my vision for what is an ideal device, so I want to force them all to change to match that." Not everyone wants the same device as you and no, it's not just because they're all ignorant morons that've been manipulated into thinking differently from you.

Why are you so vehemently against allowing other people to make their own decisions?
I live in Poland, our government love coal ("our black gold" as they call it) and I never heard anything from Norwegian government about this. I don't listen/watch our government radios/tv, so the message should come to me as any other related to climate catastrophe.

The parent poster probably got his terminology confused. AFAIK SGX runs on the secure element, SEV is for isolating the VM from the host.
I agree keeping all or some portion of data self-hosted should be an important aspect of data storage for everyone, but the same does not hold true for email. You see, the problem with emails is that unless you are sending emails just within your organization and controlling where it lands (landing server), you cannot guarantee where it lands.

Email is communication with other people, if you are sending an email to a person using Gmail your basement server for email gives you no protection over your email data a such. Govt. can easily request email data from Google of the recipient's account.
These are the sort of sensors that are on surface vessels https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/30057/u-s-warships-hav...

These systems are powerful and precise enough to be used for fine grained targeting, in fact in many cases the guns of the ship and the CIWS systems will be guided with electro optical sensors rather than radar.

Radar picks things up, the ElOp system then interrogates the target, ranges it with with a laser which provides much higher precision than radar range finding and if need be guns go brrrttt…
As I've stated elsewhere, apparently everyone on HN understands what acceptable levels of "parahippocampal gray matter change" might be, which is reassuring.

"Nearly half the case participants had more gray matter after getting COVID" - as did the controls. It's almost like there's variability in the readings. If only someone would invent a subspeciality of mathematics about how to interpret noisy data and attempt to draw conclusions about the results.

I'm not totally sold on this study either, mind you. I'm just amazed at how many people are rushing to judgement in the other direction - the whole "just a flu" conclusion is wildly premature.
It's extremely annoying to add a number to Telegram without adding it as a contact first, and allowing Telegram access to the contact list.
Sjogrens. Second most common after lupus. Lots of neurological complications.

Plaqunial helped a lot, but I can’t tolerate it. Shame, it works well.
Steroids are good for ending a flare but it’s hard to get prescribed, also side effects.

What really worked for me me was
* blood thinners for cognitive defects
* Avoid triggers, direct sun, sugar, caffeine, spice
* autoimmune protocol diet
* magnesium, vit d, e, b complex, fish oil

Get blood work done for each kind. ANA test as a starting point.

For me Early Sjo test confined diagnosis.

Make a list of ALL symptoms and take it with you to all doctors.
A Neuro-ophthalmologist was the first to say Sjogrens based only off my sheet.
