You should report Human History. You will be shown to be wrong, much like the people who unscientifically argued against Galileo...using the biggest opinion piece of all: the bible.

I'm talking with a person who posts OPINION pieces as CITATIONS but the mods won't flag your false information.

Let me show you how to do a mysql query for a web app in nodejs.

const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const mysql = require('mysql');

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
const connection = mysql.createConnection({
host: 'localhost',
user: 'me',
password: 'secret',
database: 'my_db'
});

connection.connect();

connection.query(
`SELECT a FROM b WHERE x = ${req.query.y}`,
(err, results) => {
res.send(results[0]?.a);

connection.end();
});
});

app.listen(1234);

Now this will be a google result somewhere for how to do a query that contains an SQL injection vulnerability.

I fail to see the point of this article, as pretty much anyone who enters into web programming understands that there is something called an SQL injection vulnerability that they need to be aware of.
This is great. I would love to see this kind of reporting in the mainstream media. It is so frustrating to see media reports about climate change and "what you can do". This sort of thing puts zero responsibility in the hands of individuals and highlights the real culprits.

It's 5% of power plants. These plants are massive.

The paper does state (and shows data for the top 10) indicating that the largest emitters also happen to be generally more inefficient (in terms of CO2 per power) than their national average (for fossil fuel plans).

EDIT: I just wanted to draw out the implications.

Based on paper figures, we can ballpark then that those 5% of plants produce on the order of 30-40% of fossil fuel production energy. Shutting down those 5% of plants would be relatively efficient in terms of % CO2 reduction vs energy production size needed.

That being said, since the goal long-term goal is basically 0 fossil fuels before 2050, what would be important to have policies that ensure that replacement capacity is meant with major decrease in emissions. Like, we could for example get a ~33% reduction in emissions by replacing some of these plants 1 for 1 with more efficient gas plants. But ideally we want even more draw down - that means having policies in place to ensure a significant amount of capacity is replaced with renewable sources.

That's really the challenge (and has been the challenge the entire time).
If I were running it as a 100% legal/safe operation I'd invest the balance in short term treasuries. If you multiply tether's liabilities ($61.9B) by the current 1 year treasury rate (0.09%), you get $55.7M, which seems like plenty of money to run such an operation.

> There would be a base fee of $6.50 to enter the congestion pricing zone with eligible discounts based on income level. If you make more than $100,000 a year, you’d pay the full amount. Commuters who make less than $46,000 would not pay a fee.

This is how the upper classes gentrify the middle classes. They know most <$46k people already can't afford cars in a major city, so this isn't geared towards them at all. Simply slap a forced tax that's meaningless to the rich, and all of a sudden they get to drive around in a traffic-free city.
Good for you! My nearly 20 year old .tk registration suddenly disappeared last year. No warning whatsoever, and an enquiry gave no satisfactory answer. I only ever used it as a shortcut to my slightly longer actual domain, and I chose to not pursue on the 'you get what you pay for' idiom.
This requires being the truth police. Everything should be allowed to be printed, even for a price. Everything is potentially incorrect or not truth. Everything is propaganda or motivated to be printed for some purpose and benefit of someone. The solution is to teach people to be independent thinkers, not invoke the thought police.

I'm fairly sure this is the exact strategy used by basically everyone, yet everyone in this thread seems to think this is some new innovation and those damn hippies are finally doing something sensible.

Obama's Clean Power plan for example, just says "we want you to come up with a plan to reduce Carbon, do whatever is easiest for you".

Paris agreement, basically the same.

Carbon prices, fees, taxes or caps? Same thing.

Possibly this is even less sensible than those approaches as it seems to be talking about "powerplants" which naturally biases against large, efficient plants.

If you had 10 small but inefficient coal plants it may make sense to shut them all and use one highly efficient plant.

I believe the coal plants in China are generally of the super-critical variety and so much better in terms of carbon per MWh than your average American plant.

In fact the more I think of it the more this stat seems custom designed to make China the bad guy for some reason.

The focus on moving to gas and carbon capture in the abstract is also ringing alarm bells for me.

Yep, I assumed they couldn't be so stupid because they were being vague about it but they specifically target powerplants rather than carbon intensity:

> Figure 1 displays the locations of the world’s operative fossil-fueled power plants, their
primary fuels, and the tons of carbon dioxide they released in 2018. Some past studies have
defined super polluting power plants using intensity metrics (pollutants per unit of output or
capacity) (e.g., Tong et al. 2018a).

Further, their explanation of why they do this makes absolutely no sense:

> Although this provides a straightforward way to compare the
performance of operators of different sizes, we focus instead on total emissions because to
contain global warming there must be severe cuts in emission levels

So to be clear they have applied machine learning to someone else's database of powerplants and instead of recommending to close the ones that pollute most per KWh, that are nearing the end of their life, that would need expensive upgrades, that can easily be replaced by renewables, the ones that the local population don't like, the most expensive to run or any other sensible approach for getting the most bang per buck, they have concluded _Close the ones that are biggest and are run the most as they produce more carbon than old inefficient plants that only run occasionally_

I don't know if it possible to be that stupid without malicious intent, even by the standards of sociologists funded by the US Government.

They seem to make some attempt to argue that it's easier to demonize a single big plant as a "bad guy", but surely that's a bad idea even if it actually worked in principle?

Imagine being downvoted for asking a good question.
We don't truly know the severity of it yet, but we do know that money has been moving over to other stablecoins such as USDC over the past year or so and so risk is slowly decreasing. There is a huge amount of innovation in the space and i think to gloss over it as a 'house of cards' is a bit naive - there is no denying it is a volatile market, but it is here to stay, so best to embrace it and see if there are actually projects that resonate with you.

Just a anecdotal data point: www.ibm.com had 100k "hits" on the day of the Lotus takeover announcement (June 5, 1995) which IIRC was the peak traffic to that point. Actual people traffic was probably around 20k. A gimmick of the takeover was that IBM Communications referred media to the website.

Little over a year later we hit our first 1MM "hit" day around the second or third day of the Atlanta Olympic Games.

Usually, once you can run code in kernel mode it’s just a matter of bringing the hardware back to a sane state.

Unfortunately, “just” running code in kernel mode is incredibly hard on the iPad. There’s e.g. a hardware mitigation that turns a memory region to read-only and also only allows kernel code to run from this region. This mitigation is locked down and cannot be disabled once XNU is running on the iPad (http://siguza.github.io/KTRR/).

On top of that page tables are also protected by a “kernel within the kernel” (https://blog.svenpeter.dev/posts/m1_sprr_gxf)

Getting past all that is going to be very hard if not impossible.

> 400 commercials

So one day of watching?

A regular one-hour-long TV show has about 4 commercial breaks, each with about 10 commercials, so that's 40 commercials an hour. If one was really into the Olympics, they might have their TV on for at least 10 hours during the day (while sometimes doing other tasks). 10 hours * 40 comercials an hour = 400 commercials a day.

Sports broadcasts usually have more commercial breaks of shorter varrying lengths, but I'd estimate it averages the same, if not a higher commercial count per hour.
I'm not saying that the change of direction by the STIKO is a bad thing - new data leads to new conclusions and that they're openly admitting that with a change in their recommendation is very good.

There are some interesting proposals out there that are ostensibly more equitable - for example, plate based restrictions (see bogota[0] and beijing[1]), although these can still be avoided by owning multiple cars.

Maybe the most fair would be like one of these systems except person-based rather than plate-based, however that's not something that can or should be implemented because it would require identifying every driver on the road.

> China might be tougher recently but the this compromise was made years ago when China was weak and poor. In any way it’s a complicated 40+ years matter that has nothing to do with what China does recently.

The PRC has been poor, but it's never been weak. Remember: it fought the US and its allies to a standstill in the 50s.

And this "compromise" was made when China was on the upswing and was beginning to have the ability to force the international isolation of Taiwan.
Excellent point. As I've commented elsewhere, there is a Puritanical, moralistic urge in many climate activists that focuses on as many individuals as possible changing their consumption habits for small gains over targeting the super-polluters like these power plants or the individual cargo ships which emit more CO2 than entire cities.

My father is one of these. He used to be a religious fundamentalist in the 80's, and over time has replaced his need to be a part of a religion that polices people's sexual/linguistic habits with being a part of an ideology that polices people's consumption/linguistic habits instead. It clearly fills the same void. Whenever I mention things like this to him, it clearly bothers him that we can help the climate WITHOUT calling on individuals to sacrifice the way he already does.

Why should we subsidize the food service industry so their workers can continue to live far away and drive to work - so non-poor people continue to pay more for other companies' workers?

It's not like the majority of poor people driving around SF are joy-riding. They are mostly getting to and from low paying jobs (by definition of being poor, they are not driving to high paying jobs).

So their companies can either pay them more and raise their prices accordingly - and the cost is paid by the people who use the service - or non-poor people can pay a higher congestion tax and we can socialize the cost on privatize the gains to the companies.

Non-poor people don't take up more space, cause more noise, or pollute more.

Taiwan isn't an officially recognised country, being the successor to the entity that was defeated in the Chinese Civil war. Both them and the other entity, the Chinese Communists, ( PRC) claim full sovereignty over the entirety of Chinese territory, including the island of Taiwan ( formerly Formosa). Almost every country in the world, and the UN, recognise the PRC as the singular China.

One day Taiwan should be recognised as its own independent and separate country due to reality, but the PRC is highly unlikely to allow that anytime soon.

Even for cities with fairly good public transit, once you start making people driving into the city park on the outskirts somewhere and take one or two modes of public transit in to wherever they're going, many are just going to stop bothering if they can. (Though this mostly applies to non-commuting hours.)

I do generally favor better pedestrian etc. experiences in city cores, but there is some tradeoff with making it more difficult for anyone who doesn't live near there.

The schwa + 'l' ("le") is the exact sound I'm talking about. As a someone wanting to practice good privacy, having an alias is always nice.

It's pretty obvious now though. Most all 'weird' Thai pronunciations for English come from transliterating English into the RTGS Romanization system (whose sounds don't align with English, like 'p' being ป, the unaspirated version of that sound which English doesn't have) an then translating from the Romanization to the Thai abugida to be pronounced. Speculating, since someone misunderstood stress syllables always put a falling tone on the final syllable and now you have the Thai pronunciation. Pepsi isn't translated as phonemes as เพพซิ, but p-e-p-s-i as ป-เ-ป-ซ-•ี; smash in that falling tone and you get เป๊ปซี่ which honest to Godzilla sounds like bep-SEE instead of PEP-si.

I was curious about this statement:

> non-technical people who don't want to drop to a terminal

PowerShell exists. and it is LEAPS AND BOUNDS better than bash for pretty much anything related to scripting. so much so that half the time when I needed to write a script on linux, I opted to write it in ruby because bash is just that bad to write anything meaningful with.

To assume that people on windows don't use a terminal is STILL coming across as condescending as hell.

> But I do admit that for programmers, I don't understand why they'd want to still use Windows.

there is an entire development ecosystem built around windows that has been around for decades. Only recently (relatively speaking) has it started to branch out and be OS-agnostic.

Are you actually saying you didn't know .NET Framework existed, or are you just being willfully ignorant?

I used Linux for years as my daily driver OS. Eventually got fed up with it. Driver support for a lot of USB devices is atrocious, and support for HiDpi monitors was still in its infancy when i switched. these are problems that Windows has fixed _right now_ and I don't get paid to fuck with my desktop settings so I can make my monitor display things correctly.

I switched to windows, and if I need anything from linux, there is always the WSL, which is pretty much the best of both worlds for me.

Because you want upvotes, so you gotta give people things to agree with. If I just say "Linux Sucks" I'm not giving people much to agree with, except naked tribalism.

* "Microsoft's fanatical devotion to binary backwards-compatibility means I don't have to worry old software will break because I've got the wrong version of python installed, or my version of libreadline is too new."

* "I've got an nvidia graphics card, and nvidia drivers on Linux are a right mess"

* "Linux is all-too-often a second-class citizen, both hardware and software makers giving it less testing and support than they do Windows and Mac"

Yes, on the open european electricity market, electricity coming from renewable have the priority "on injection" on the grid above all the other sources of electricity.

So when you have spikes of renewable productions (a lot of wind and a lot of sun) Germany sells it to "everyone around" at a really cheap price. Which means that on a yearly average Germany indeed exported a lot of cheap renewable electricity to everyone.

Now try to guess what is happening when everyone starts to do what Germany is doing for close to 20 years now ?
