There are only a few that are truly scalable and plausible. A lot of investment today is going into the low hanging fruit (afforestation, methane capture, etc). These are cheap (<$15/ton), but they cap out at a couple of Gt-CO2/yr equivalent.

BECCS isn't really scalable past a certain point, either, which leaves direct air capture and enhanced weathering.

Enhanced weathering is basically moving around alkalinity, which the CO2+water (carbonates) will neutralize. There are other ways of doing this besides dumping olivine rock into the sea (which gives you a very large surface area to absorb co2), though dumping rock is very inexpensive (probably less than $20/ton, modulo grind size and bio toxicity issues).

If humans disappeared today, the CO2 would revert back to pre-industrial levels predominantly through the ocean. The ocean is a large sponge for CO2, and it will stay in equilibrium with the atmosphere. As it turns over (~5000 years), it brings the extra CO2 down to depth, where it reacts with sediment. Extra CO2 will initially raise the carbonate compensation depth, reacting slopes of marine snow with the extra CO2 (kind of like snow melting) fairly quickly (on a geologic timescale). If/when that is exhausted, the ocean floor (which in places is covered with basalt and other material that will neutralize CO2) will (very very) slowly eat the rest of the CO2. As the carbonates drop in the ocean, the ocean will start to absorb more CO2 from the atmosphere. The ppm will drop slowly, until it hits the biosphere equilibrium (marine cycle, etc) of ~280ppm.

One scalable way (personal disclaimer, one of my research areas) to do carbon capture is to just speed up this process. There is no reason CO2 has to react with basalt, it can just as easily react with NaOH or some other source of alkalinity, which can be minutes instead of millennia. In fact, some direct air capture proposals (long ago) were just waterfalls of fine droplets with NaOH embedded as a sorbent.

So, long story short, if you can create alkalinity, you can easily turn that into sequestered CO2. Literally throwing an antacid tablet into the ocean sequesters CO2. Depending on the method of creation (e.g. chloralkali process), you may also have to dispose of an equal amount of acid, but that can be injected underground (e.g. poured out onto a bunch of olivine). Doing it all on land is a little trickier, as the ocean has some nice surface area and mixing ... but a large pond with a vertical firehose of high PH solution may be effective, though it starts to bleed over into the definition of DAC at some point and eats more power.
What Tesla is saying is even weaker than that. They're not saying they'll ever provide such software. They're really just selling you a car with the claim, "its hardware is sufficient for self-driving; now all you need to add is the software." Or to put it another way, "if we ever release self-driving software, it'll work on your car" (or otherwise presumably they'd shoulder the cost for being wrong about this guarantee).

That's still more than they could say for fusion drives, but it doesn't imply they will ever provide you with any self-driving software. Just that they believe it's possible to write such software.
yup. it's hilarious when they break out of nowhere
There are such proposals, commuter rail and local public transport.

But ultimately, suburbs are built around the car. No matter what you do, suburbs will not be as functional without cars as they are with cars, because they were specifically built with the assumption in mind that everyone using them has a car. So yes, people in suburbs will lose out, it's unfortunate but it's not really anyone's fault.

The reality is that life in the suburbs is already full of negative externalities and is generally only sustainable because of subsidies from the cities and to some extent the rural sectors.

So the solution is going to be making the city a liveable place for many of them, which is much easier with cars reduced, as well as build suburbs that can be lived in without cars, but those will look very different from the North American suburbs of today.

Beyond that, every solution such as commuter train, suburban public transport options, etc... is inevitably going to be worse than the car, and that's the sad consequence of how these places were badly designed.

Cheap and meaningless rhetorical techniques are best exposed by substituting in other terms.

It's useful to note that problem solving has a number of stages. That generally involves identification of a problem, a goal, a path-to-goal, and a mechanism for achieving said path. That said, which you focus on (problem, goal, path, mechanism) is best determined by where focus is most effectively attended. And that varies by the problem. Blanket prescriptions rarely work.

The automobile has created the modern urban landscape and its characteristics. That's the primary focus in reversing or correcting many of those faults.

It's more of a case of I notice it since I ride a bike daily.

What I see in my city is mostly geared towards safety, not so much bike racks. Some of it focuses upon infrastructure that makes life safer for cyclists, pedestrians, and motorists. Some of it is directed towards people who bike, such as road safety courses and bicycle lighting.

With respect to bike racks, the emphasis seems to be on gaining business support. Places are more welcoming if they depend upon pedestrians and cyclists, are high traffic, and have limited parking. Local businesses also seem to be more bike friendly than regional, national, or multinational ones.

On that note, how businesses differentiate themselves seem to reflect how welcoming they are to clients who use bikes. Cafe's are more welcoming than coffee shops, recreation centres are more welcoming than gyms.

Also, traditional bike racks are out of favour in my neck of the woods. It's more common to see posts where two bikes can be locked up parallel to the street, or placed three feet apart when bikes are parallel to each other. Even the simplest ones are painted so they are more visually appealing, some have a more artistic flare. Traditional racks tend to be used in bike corrals. Those are typically a barricaded off on-street parking space for bike parking, with the barricades being decorated to fit into the community (e.g. paintings, flowerbeds). The basic idea seems to be that bike racks are more appealing to everyone if they aren't a tangled mess of bikes.

By phantom braking, they mean a drop of 10-20 mph to add a safety margin in the potentially hazardous scenario of a car travelling opposed into your lane of travel.

It is scary to people because the Tesla makes an unsettling alert noise at the same time the vehicle speed changes slightly.

An interim analysis of Grail’s Pathfinder study [1] suggests a PPV of 43% [2]. This may be a mixed population of their high and normal risk cohorts - it’s not clear to me
from the abstract. They call this a conservative estimate, which seems quite fair, given that the “discordant” positive cases are really only potential false positives at this point. These patients may actually harbor tumors that become detectable further into the study or on follow up.

Even with a mixed risk study population, a lower bound estimate of PPV in the 40s seems like a big win for Grail.

This article about the program[1] directly addresses your assertion, specifically by one of the professors whose research was used to justify the program:

> The Sheriff’s Office says its program is based on research. It points to a 2015 study that found young people who had experienced multiple childhood traumas were at a higher risk of becoming serious, violent criminals than those who hadn’t.

> But David Kennedy, a renowned criminologist and professor at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice whose research is referenced in Pasco’s manual, said the associations between childhood trauma and criminal behavior are “extremely weak.” He said using them to make predictions about individuals “flies in the face of the science.”

> The methodology used by the Sheriff’s Office, he added, was likely to generate a large pool of children, the vast majority of whom would never get in serious trouble.

> “There’s nothing — absolutely nothing — that can be fed into even the most sophisticated algorithm or risk-assessment tool based on information available when someone is a child that can say this person is going to be a criminal later on, much less a serious prolific criminal,” he said.

Not that surprising. The German mainstream news landscape is dominated by transatlantic interests.

Pretty much all German politicians, and journalists, of "relevance" are members in some pro-US NGO [0] or another, often even several of them.

Der Spiegel used to be one of thew few wider reaching left-leaning exceptions, they even published Snowden's first interview internationally back in 2013.

But over the years they went trough a slow transformation; They've become noticeably less critical of the US, completely ignoring any further developments around Snowden or Assagne, while ramping up on anti-Russian news.

Why is nobody there reaching out to people like Nils Melzer, as Swiss Republik.ch did? [1]

If Der Spiegel would have published something like that, it would have reached a far wider audience, could maybe even made some actual waves.

Trade wars are dumb. All wars are dumb. No one wins a trade war or any war for that matter. There are only losers. The winner is just what we call who loses the least. That doesn't mean we should never go to war, but we shouldn't delude ourselves into thinking that wars are wise or necessary. They're usually just unavoidable conflicts that could have been prevented but weren't because of apathy and inaction.

Car drivers regularly kill bicyclists with little to no response from the law. The opposite isn't a thing.
The Waymo car in that video drove extremely safely give that it was confused. It was conservative and thought it might have seen and obstacle so it stopped. Did this inconvenience other drivers? Absolutely. But it was not a major safety risk. In fact, slowly coming to a stop is the legal and correct thing for a confused or impaired human driver to do. In comparison, Teslas seem to rapidly and suddenly brake for no explainable reason while traveling at fast speeds and do so routinely. Further, Teslas have other safety issues which are indicative of sloppy design (such as the fly-by-wire passenger doors that will trap back sheet occupants in the car if the electronic system is disabled). This is a failure of Tesla specifically, and regulating to stop it wouldn’t really slow down others like Waymo.
Good. It's time Silicon Valley cared about TDP the way auto makers have to care about gas mileage. Tighten the screws.

I think Tesla should definitely be accountable for their software and damage that it causes but involving overly risk adverse regulations will push out self driving cars by a decade, maybe indefinitely.

Terabyte of RAM is my favorite because I choose to believe he had a perfect data model and was literally telling you exactly what he needed :D

In my recent work doing financial modeling (options, cryptos, other nonsense), I pretty much just try to cache absolutely everything with some arbitrary 1 week TTL and then continue to cache new data every day. Cache hits cause a 10% bump in the current TTL time delta. Kinda heuristic but whatever, works in most cases.

The onus is never on other scientists to prove an assertion false if it is made without evidence. The initial burden is always on the person making the initial claim.

You can play semantics with the word "pain" all you want, but the biological differences between what we call pain as experienced by humans and the stimuli response from plants are sufficiently different to surpass a difference of degree and make it a difference of kind. You need a word besides "pain", or the onus is on you to demonstrate the appropriateness of that term when you are using it so far outside its normal context.

Oh, and not to tar with toooo broad a brush: One guy contacted me the other day wanting a terabyte of memory. He'd actually done all his homework and had a weirdly interesting use case.

I'm actually pretty excited to explore getting his problem solved; it's likely that a terabyte is about the right amount to get him over the finish line, and he's converged on this algorithm precisely because it has fairly horrifying memory needs, but trades off to give a nice big-O runtime.

I put it in scare quotes for a reason because that's the phrasing people use when talking about but saying "we know many of the factors that contribute to the wage gap and when you control for them it mostly disappears" misses the point.

One of the factors you control for is job title. When you only compare people with the same title the wage gap shrinks a bit. For some reason people interpret this as "Great! Not a problem. Moving on." when it completely ignores that as a group women holding lower paying job titles is itself indicative of a problem -- career paths that are dominated by women are seen as less valuable and girls are socially pressured away from more lucrative careers (you know like software engineering where every woman in our field including myself can tell you stories of being the only girl in her class) by parents, academic advisors, the school and workplace culture the fields cultivate and pushed into "softer", "more nurturing", "more creative" career paths compared to boys.

Which it itself a problem for boys because boys who want to go into things like art, music, design, writing, fashion, social work, are mercilessly pressured away from it where girls are more likely to be encouraged. The patriarchy hurts everyone folks.
