One thing I realized recently is that we have "coal power plants" that produce zero electricity: coal seam fires. This gets very little attention given the importance. I think it's low-hanging fruit for climate mitigations. On the order of 1 Gigatonne of CO2 per year is emitted from coal seam fires, versus ~14 Gigatonnes of CO2 from coal as useful fuel globally.

This post on Effective Altruism had the same idea I had (ignore the right-leaning arguments contained therein and focus on the factual statements): https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/2nrx8GdtobScoAZF8/...

It shouldn't proportionally cost a whole lot to stop these coal seam fires (which are mostly human caused, although ALL contribute to climate change), and they are really terrible for other reasons as well (safety, local air pollution, literally wasting fossil resources, etc). The issue deserves more attention. It's incredibly low hanging fruit.
I expect so. I didn't poke around it, past the initial message & a whitelisting / allow option.

The breach of user trust, to me at least, seems to be Microsoft deciding a user installed application should not be installed, and leveraging Windows to uninstall it for the user.

As noted somewhere else, there seems a big gulf between quarantining + alerting & uninstalling + deleting.
> [...] emissions per kWh from that plant are estimated at slightly above 1kg of CO2 per kWh!!!!!

Wow, I knew it's bad, but I didn't realise quite how bad. Wikipedia quotes it at around 1.75kg / kWh: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Be%C5%82chat%C3%B3w_Power_Stat...

I'm so glad I vaporized my Windows partition a few weeks ago - for completely unrelated reasons but the more time goes on the more I'm sure I made the right choice to swear them off forever.

Linux is the only real option if you care about using your computer the way you want instead of how some global corporation decides you should.

If you're in the market for a new computer, shop with someone that also cares - System 76 seems like a good start. Dell XPS or Thinkpad with Linux preinstalled would also be a solid choice.
That's what MLB does and in some ways it's almost more annoying. I wish they would just pull back to their widest shot and pipe in the venue sounds.
Yes, but it's not coming from the government. Key distinction.

Should there be stronger laws about dodgy private PR firms running disinfo and smear campaigns? Yes. Should platforms be held more responsible for not allowing their networks to be so easily gamed? Yes. But that is a separate matter.

>I understand English-speaking countries have most experience with colonialism, but there were plenty of other kinds of imperialism and subjugation (and slavery and mass murder).

Exactly focusing exclusively on colonialism is a way to gerrymander history through word games. For example most systems of the Atlantic slave trade were already in place by Ottoman empire and adjacent African warlords. But these were "conquests" not colonies.
A native-Japanese-turned-US-citizen colleague once told me that career advancement is slow, because you pay dues with time, not accomplishments. Also, family matters in business. So, if we apply that one bit of knowledge I have, I can imagine newcomers from overseas are not pushed against because they are from another country, they might just chafe the traditions. Culture clash.

I think a lot of white Americans feared retribution and competition from minorities. Before integration, they had treated minorities very poorly to say the LEAST. I think it's pretty normal to be afraid when someone you beat with a horse whip last tuesday suddenly gets to own guns and businesses in your neighborhood.

In addition, propaganda from racist organizations was running wild. Stuff like "White Genocide" and "Race Riots" were predicted by racist organizations who still profit from this fear today.

But naturally the answer is that they were fleeing minorities, violence, AND landlords. In most people's minds all three were mixed up. In the end, the makeup of the neighborhoods they fled to were built around isolation enabled by cars.

SML has signatures. In the absence of HKT, I think it's not a fair comparison. Most popular languages have interfaces even if not by that name. Haskell, Scala and C++ are special in that you can describe an interface for interfaces. I'm sure I'm not giving due credit to others.
Progress in this respect can also be bottom-up -> sabotage.

> Relatively speaking, winmerge and kdiff3 are quite uncommon, compared to the normal stuff that people have installed on their computers.

I think you missed the point here. The fact that programs are uncommon isn't a legitimate excuse for Microsoft to falsely flag them as malware and then not fix it.
No, you're absolutely right. There are a number of people who are phenomenal at what they do, and balance their personal lives as well.

edit: I would say some (not a lot) great people. I really do think it is an exception, but they are out there.
We tried repeating LinkNYC kiosks a few years ago but it wasn't reliable enough, making it too difficult to support.

We have instructions for a DIY connection on our website and a channel on our Slack where you can ask other members about problems. The DHCP lease tends to go dead every couple of months and we have various things to try when that happens.
My point is my point. Linux is generally inferior to windows from a usability standpoint.

We can get rid of the word always if you want. Nobody cares for such semantics. Generalities exist and clearly that's what most people mean when they talk about this. Linux is generally much worse from a usability standpoint than windows. Your post made a claim Linux was the better OS, but not only is Linux not always better, it's not even generally better.

If you're referring to Delphi, this has been a common issue for a long time.

Delphi seems to have been very popular with malware writers, and so AV companies keep flagging stuff from the standard libraries as malware.

Got so bad at one time that some tried to get a deal with the major AV players to provide a suite of very basic Delphi applications they could use for false-positive testing.
I do not believe everyone has the mental capacity to become a grandmaster. In case you think that's overly harsh, I'll expand that to say I'm almost certain I do not have the mental capacity to become a grandmaster. It just takes a different type of analytical thinking ability.
I think it’s more likely that you’d lay fiber to a backbone of 5G base stations and rent wireless modems to customers. This would work fairly well in non-mountainous areas.
No and no. Windows is "the better fit" because:

As someone who doesn't really care about the virtues of crypto, but has a small investment in btc that has grown into several thousand dollars, I'm feeling that if I want some casual investment in crypto I should move it into eth to avoid regulatory risk from bitcoin's environmental cost and tether collapsing and destroying bitcoin's value. I'm sure eth would tumble down with btc for a while but feel it might diverge positively after a while if either of these two threats hit btc? It feels like btc just has a lot more guns pointed at it.

Any opinions on this?

qBitorrent is working fine on my windows home machine. I also as a test just updated to the newest version and it works fine. This seems like a isolated issue only happening on certain Windows machines.
I interpreted this as without a "head builder"/foreman/architect, which is what makes the structure-out-of-nothing to be a surprise.

> You could pick an undergrad, offer them 600k$, and they could take the job, but that won't make them top talent.

But that's exactly what is happening. People are paid these insane salaries because they're either born American or got a green card. Do you think the 20 something hired at $200k+ in the Silicon Valley are worth 5 times the seniors devs at $40k in Thailand, Spain, Poland? The only difference between a 5 digits salary engineer and a 6 digits salary engineer is a green card.
The campaign started at 2.5 million from day one which was raised back in 2019 in a separate fundraiser, probably to appear successful.

The rest I don't know. Seems like a very bad investment to make, perhaps people understand it as a form of donation/support (Purism does not look financially healthy).

But as the other commenter noted, these numbers aren't verified in any way.
Well, they could use a term limit for chancellors. The position is not as powerful as the US president (the term limit is really the most important check to the president's power), and most people will agree that Merkel did at least a decent job during her tenure, but long office terms tend to fossilize the political system.

Of course you can replicate all sounds, I can pronounce Friedrich, but an Italian speaker with no exposure to German (which is 99% of the population) will inevitably butcher it, because both the R and the “voiceless palatal fricative” do not exist in Italian phonology. This hypothetical Friedrich can either accept that he is talking to foreigners that can’t pronounce his name as native Germans, or he may spend 2 hours trying to explain how to articulate a voiceless palatal fricative, assuming he can put that in words (I wouldn’t know where to start to explain how to pronounce “gli”). We all know what a polite person would do.
NYT prints some retractions and corrections and also changes stories they have published without any notice.

Times editors have thus far rejected appeals to flag readers when stories are reworked, unless it’s a correction. They argue that making such edits are a routine part of digital publishing — you edit a piece, publish it, then report more or add more context, then republish it again, on through the news cycle.

Claiming that she was also insulting them is not a refutation. It's quite possible for both statements to be true, but whatever insults she may have used wouldn't excuse behavior like this:

> They have called me a Nazi and a racist; I have learned to brush off comments about how I’m “writing about the Jews again.” Several colleagues perceived to be friendly with me were badgered by coworkers. My work and my character are openly demeaned on company-wide Slack channels where masthead editors regularly weigh in. There, some coworkers insist I need to be rooted out if this company is to be a truly “inclusive” one, while others post ax emojis next to my name. Still other New York Times employees publicly smear me as a liar and a bigot on Twitter with no fear that harassing me will be met with appropriate action. They never are.
Probably you speak more Chinese than I do, but as I understand it, you don't have to memorize the syllables, just the 22 (?) onsets and 17 (?) vowel+codas, same as in bopomofo, just more sneakily. Plus nü and lü, I guess. But that still means memorizing 41 pronunciations instead of the 374 you suggest. Is that right, or is the situation far more complicated than it appears?

that is not my gripe. I could care less about NYT being slanted but real travesty is the 'omission', omission of important news stories, omission of events of consequence etc.

Your esteemed Main stream does not have an army of jurnos running around the world, they are throwing hissy-fits on their tweeter feeds and article about article and opinion about opinion - the circular reference of their own in group is mind boggling.

Suppression of real News and exaggeration of the mundane to make a political point is the biggest problem.

It is up to the individual to go to rich sources of information not shallow ones like news papers.

While this rant is excessive, I do see some of the annoyance, for example looking at: https://doc.rust-lang.org/core/cmp/trait.PartialOrd.html

The top talks about lt, le, gt, ge, but then the docs below talk about '<' and '>', which I assume are lt and gt? But then there seems to be no requirements in le and ge? I assume everything needs to be consistent?

Also (relating to auto-ref), why does 'a<b' work, when the trait takes a reference?

EDIT: Some of this is revealed if I scroll down and look at the definitions of 'lt' and friends, but I'm already pretty confused at the top.

EDIT 2: This really wasn't worth the effort of defending, but I made an issue with my comments on PartialOrd.
I've had the opposite experience - Proton has been getting better and better - even more so if you like to play around with the Glorious Eggroll fork.

If we define 'suburb' as a 'low density urban place without the jobs' then I suspect we are in agreement. Urbanistically speaking, the top 2 needs of the inhabitants are 'low density urban place' to live and jobs.

We happen to have both, alas in geographically different places. Let's shift the locus of the solution from vindictive disfunctional 'the cars are the problem [...] we need to make driving cars worse', to constructive and hopefully workable 'bring the jobs to the suburbs', which will have the byeffect we all seek: reducing the need for cars.
Intel has been a TSMC client for many years. Not for their CPUs but for many of the multitude of other chips that Intel produces, from NICs to Wifi chips. Current estimates is that 7.2% of TSMC's revenue comes from Intel, which makes Intel TSMC'S 6th biggest client, only marginally behind AMD (9.2%)

I'm not convinced congestion pricing will actually fix the problem. Once public transit exists and is more useful than your own car, people will use it.

I consistently notice this when visiting larger cities in Germany. Good public transit => I'll take the bus/tram/subway every day. Slow or unreliable => I'll gladly take an Uber or buy my own car.

Maybe surge pricing could be use to finance investments into public transit. Just make it a function of the horsepower-to-people ratio. Anything below 90HP/person is free. If you can afford a nice car with lots of power and don't carpool, pay up.
Very few of the people on this forum are advocating for a complete removal of vehicles from society! Cars and trucks have a purpose and we should always use them when it’s the best choice for hauling goods. But we overuse cars because our infrastructure is designed for cars, causing a negative feedback loop.
It has nothing to do with intellectual property or a less enlightened legal regime. It is just a dying legacy business that has been obviated by the internet trying to milk whatever they can before they are gone.

Good article on this from a few years ago https://randomwire.com/why-japanese-web-design-is-so-differe...
The broader "this" seems at the root of a lot of Japanese IT anachronisms.

Incredibly conservative culture (especially with regards to business hierarchy) + early social digitization = huge number of antiquated systems

The typical way things would finally get replaced in most companies ("If you're not migrated by X date, we're cutting it off, and your stuff will stop working") seems pretty anathema to Japanese corporate political expectations ("Don't make someone else look bad").
nope... If you improve the efficiency of coal plants say by 25%, then you have a choice : either you keep those 25% as CO2 that's not produced anymore in the future, either you say that for the same amount of CO2 you can have 25% more appliances.

In the first case, it means that the 25% kept for the future shall not be used : you cap consumption to 25% less than what it is today (great, but many people unhappy because you stop producing more electricty).

In the second case, you accept to use those 25% but then you stay at today's CO2 production level, which is known to be too high.

Whatever scenario, you'll have (you, me and other individuals) to use less electricity.

Censorship is never used by the good guys.
People require affection for the complete development of their nervous system. But sometimes the caregivers can't provide sufficient levels for said healthy development, often leaving a permanent scar in these younglings, a developmental trauma. Such a person won't have a sufficiently developed internal sense of self-worth, self-love and will require more external supply of validation, affection. Succeeding in various endeavors becomes a "life-and-death" issue, because at it's core it's a reflection of the imperious need of a mammal for nurturing by their parents.

Often, siblings become competitive with each other for precisely this reason. They are competing for the little affection their caregiver provides.
Are you going to make the same post for every nytimes article? Like yeah I guess we can dismiss the entire investigative and reporting output of the nytimes because of a troll post from a dumpster tier brietbart wannabe about how the nytimes cleaned up its advertising business?

The most frightening thing is that views like this are the ultimate goal of the type of propaganda we're seeing. Convincing you of fact X is secondary. The main goal is to convince you that nobody knows the facts. They want to diminish your belief in institutions, like journalism, education, medicine, and democracy.
