For alcohol that may be true, but the ultimate goal of SMART is sobriety. There is another (smaller) branch of REBT drug-based therapy called 'Rational Recovery' that uses naltrexone (an opiate blocker) before drinking to reduce the pleasurable feeling associated with drinking.

I tried it, but it didn't work for me. It certainly makes drinking less pleasurable, but I was using it as a coping mechanism for my anxiety.

I think for some people, that approach might work. Also, if a person solves their underlying psychological problem which led to the need of alcohol for a coping mechanism, I think it might work as well.

I'm probably saddled with anxiety for life, but I've learned healthy coping mechanisms. Besides the taste of a cold beer after mowing the lawn, I don't miss it in the slightest.
I see “sub coins” on sale in the Twitch app, my assumption is that you can offer them outside the app, but you cannot promote that alternative in the app and you must also sell them in-app (presumably for 30% more)
This was the most interesting thing I learned when studying geology. More people should know about it.
Low-flow anything is especially stupid anywhere north of the alps. Wastewater systems need a minimum flow, determined back in the first half of the last century. If modern appliances, toilets and faucets do not provide that minimum flow, wastewater systems need regular flushings, usually from a fire hydrant. Overall water consumption stays the same, cost rises (because someone needs to do the unclogging and flushing) and greens applaud the useless spread of freshwater conservation in regions where there is an excess of water all year round.
Seemingly as part of the same push, the UKRI announced funding for an open research project I've worked on before: Dr Alex Freeman's Octopus [0], a more radical software platform that splits research projects into smaller components. It's good to see that the openess of research is finally getting to be a priority of the funding bodies.

Simply regulate domains like we already regulate business addresses and trademarks. You open an LLC, and if you continually fail expectations of profit, you lose it, along with your trademarks and domain.

At the end of the day: domain squatters create negative value for society. They shouldn’t be allowed to exist
This sounds less like an anti-drunk driving measure and more of a permanent general driving ability monitor.

Surely if they wanted to target alcohol specifically they would just mandate breathalyser to start the engine, which is already a thing in many countries for people previously convicted of DUI
I'm real curious as to which hybrids you've been taking trips in. A gen 4 Prius can easily do 600 miles at highway speed. A gen 3 should be able to do at least 550 on a full tank. That's nearly 8 hours at 70mph.

There's no current EV that can do that.

No, at least not necessarily, it was most likely a miss configuration of a torrent client that caused the loop back address to end up in a DHT.

If you look at DHTs quite often you’ll see local LAN IP addresses in them, so the loopback ending up there isn’t particularly surprising.

Edit: nvm this isn’t a torrent, looks like the XML / config file of pirated TV streams like the ones you get on Kodi, so that was just a miss configuration on the team that maintains the stream pack.

From the article:

Construction (and others) price some things in cost per operating hour; where IT seems to have taken a militant attitude of "all hours are operating hours." Equipment working an 8hr / 5 day shift has "maintenance windows" built in and can be held to a higher standard for on time vs off time.

You still seem to be suggesting that a) a very large amount of light is required in a classroom setting and, b) it is beyond our current technology to achieve this level of light via LED lighting without sunlight provided by windows.

Which on the face of it, seems totally absurd. Things such as Night School, and schools/offices near the poles for example, exist. Is there something more specific that you're actually saying?
Ummm… You know, domain names have use cases other than hosting websites. It’s just a mapping from ASCII strings to IP addresses.

Strikes are social events, you don't do it alone. There's usually a minority of agitators/organizers that are respected/trusted among workers and that call the shots/organize the fun. So working from home is very much anti-organization and hinders strikes. It isolates workers.

> I would definately class alcohol as a drug

I agree. It's incredible the lengths that people will go to separate drugs and alcohol.

If you took alcohol in a pill form, are you drinking or taking drugs?
I have some domains that I use internally or for email. Not every legitimate use of a domain requires hosting a website on it.
The earliest known proof of Pythagorean theorem is due to Euclid. It is strange at all that any credit is attributed to Pythagoras, since Babylonians, Egyptians, Indians and Chinese all had discovered this [1]. And Pythagoras did not prove his theorem, to the best of our knowledge.

"Safety" has become an euphemism for "control". It's as if politicians speak a coded language: one of them says "we want safer cars" and others translate that to "we want more control over cars". If someone says "to protect children we need these measures" others understand that it really means "we need these authoritarian measures".
That doesn't look like a BitTorrent file.
One could be made with the pinephone modem. I believe its running a version of android and people are working on reverse engineering it right now. The chip is a little big for a dongle so you'd end up with something kinda like the OpenModem in your link there.
I think it’s off base to pin this on AI enthusiasm, that’s just kind of unclear writing in the article. The legislation doesn’t specify a particular anti drunk driving provision, just that the NHSTA study the issue and determine the best course of action. Mandatory breathalyzers seems like what, um, sober minds will come up with. Which certainly feels like stunning overreach to me, but isn’t strictly about AI
EU guy here, curious how this is received in US.

Can someone who donated to Trumps after-election campaign tell me what he/she feels about this? Partisan shenanigans or a generally good idea?
Yes, all of that was in the article that you apparently didn't read:

> In 2010, after a long anatomical study, they performed DNA barcoding on a slice of the snack and found it to match that of agave’s by 89 percent. There are several species of agave, but the lab test narrowed it down to Agave Sisalana, a plant sometimes used to make a tequila-like drink. They did a field visit soon after and plucked out a Sisalana only to find mesh-like, shallow roots. Next, they chopped off its leaves and there it was: the fat, white, watery trunk familiar to millions of Indians from food carts. They ate a slice from it, and it was tasteless and crunchy just like Ram Kand.

The last "green" building I worked in, they sealed all the windows. Then it was so tight they kept the internal humidity so low that some of my co-workers lost their voices and got special dispensation to bring a humidifier into their cubicles.

I assume they were actually saving energy, but who knows?
The article notes MADD (Mother’s Against Drunk Driving) as one of primary sponsors.

MADD is notorious for demanding government overreach in reducing or eliminating alcohol consumption altogether. They have a history of ignoring any possible negative consequences of their proposals for other people, and this is a good example.
Look up the owner using Whois. There has to be a valid email address that goes to the owner. Even if it’s under privacy it must still work.

Emails that don’t work is invalid whois and can be reported to icann. Registrar has to investigate for invalid whois data or the domain will be made available again.

So to make an offer just send an email. If they’re interested they’ll most likely get back to you.

Most registrars will also get in touch with their customer to see if they want to sell.

Why is it misguided for transport? I would have thought reducing costs would be good.

I think there is a real simplicity to the hardware with multirotors which is superb, but I wonder if its a good trade-off with complexity of the flight computer. Is the surface area for failure pretty similar?

RC helicopters are the most fragile and catastrophic beasts, whereas kwads can take a walloping and still perform incredible feats.
Good summary.

As the owner of my device though, I would say the result is that it lets me run authorized code because I am the authority, not Apple.

I find this surprising. I’ve been using Bitwarden for a few years now… the mobile app is easy to use. They even make MFA painless by automatically copying the code after the password is entered. The browser extensions seem to work fine too. Perhaps the web app is not as clean, but I rarely use it.
Skimming the download, this does indeed use wasm, but it's also possible to build to pure JS with emscripten (in WASM=0 mode, wasm2js compiles the wasm to JS). Perhaps that's what they used to do and the docs have not been updated or something like that.
And that's why author's practice survived despite the hostility of the US government. They started treating Canadian patients:

> The first patients to arrive after we posted prices were Canadians. This was instructive, as these patients had so-called insurance coverage. There was no access, however, to the care that many of them required. The most common story then as now for the Canadians was a patient waiting two years to see a gynecologist for a hysterectomy to stop their bleeding, bleeding usually so severe that intermittent transfusions were required. For $8,000, which covers the facility, surgeon, anesthesia, pathology, and an overnight stay at the surgery center, Canadians can end their nightmare. The first question a Canadian asks when they call us is how long they’ll have to wait. Our answer that there is no waiting time is met with disbelief. A Canadian friend of mine has told me the old joke that no Canadian is truly content unless standing in line.

All thanks to the success of a "state-directed monopsony" of a "developed country".

Even though GP's mechanism doesn't explain global warming, it does explain the nigh-impossibility of developing technology that can carbon-capture us out of this mess.

Biomass is basically solar-powered carbon sequestration.

If each year of fossil fuel consumption corresponds to the energy of 400 years of biomass, and we've been burning "too many" fossil fuels for 50 years, then to get out of this mess we would have to cover 50x400 = 20,000 Earth's with solar panels hooked up to carbon capture machines.

It's way worse, if course, because photosynthesis is more efficient than solar panels, and there's inefficiencies in carbon capture, but you get the idea!

We've used up way, way, WAY too much energy making tiny explosions and now we have to undo each and every one of them.
Lots of reasons, one of which is that the Senate is rigged to favor rural places and doesn't represent the majority of Americans anymore. Even reasonable, popular bills are unable to pass.
Sounds like the issues from X1 Carbon 6th gen where the only available standby was always-on-standby (Windows-only thing): some patching of ACPI tables has helped with that, though Lenovo has since updated the BIOS and restored the usual S3 standby. 7th gen worked out of the box, but I am not sure if that matches t490 or t14 generation (or maybe even t480).

The biggest worry for me is putting it in a backpack and the battery causing a fire.

> in my personal experience, laziness is absolutely a thing. As an example, many friends in college would go party or hang out far more often than I did. Its not that I didn't like hanging out, its that I valued the long term payout of good grades more than my current suffering.

This sounds more like you’re trying to explain the behavior of your friends and are choosing the word “laziness”, but that’s a pretty reductive explanation for why some people like to party and others don’t.

Perhaps if you were willing to do the hard work of questioning your own assumptions and seeing life through your friends eyes a little more you could have more sympathy.

But perhaps you aren’t because that’s hard work and causes distress you’d rather not incur, and it’s much easier to describe human behavior as “laziness” than to understand it’s causes.

No. The main difference between grouping is that phytoplankton receives most of energy by environment(usually Sun) without consuming other plankton and zooplankton does exactly that - it consumes other plankton(both phytoplankton and zooplankton).

Phytoplankton does not belong to Plant kingdom and neither do Zooplankton to Animal kingdom. Some Zooplankton are animals, which is subbranch of Eukariota to which most zooplankton belongs. Some of phytoplankton, like cyanobacteria are not considered to belong to plant kingdom, also most of plankton are supergrouped together with plants where most of them are not plants, but also belong to Eukariota.
TL;TR: Animals and Plants belong to Eukariota, to which belong all plankton - even if most of them does not belong neither to Plants nor Animals.

How is it not? It's deeply anti-democratic, basically handing over power to corporations and wealthy people. It's not like its biggest proponents are advocating "a great reset" where all people will start at zero property again or something, it's just a power grab for the already propertied.
Hello, How much are your domains?
They are free
Good, I will take them all.

That is what low cost domains do - encourage hoarding.
If a person had a valid use, then a renewal of $100 - 200, would be acceptable. However, he would not want to pay for something unused - this is much like old cars you see behind houses, ready to scrap - few have up to date licences.
I feel that ICAAN should increase renewals to ~~$200 - which is a reasonable annual cost for something of value in use, but too expensive for something parked and rusting away.
This would up-end the domain squatting business model - a model abetted by the people that control the web.
Each country can set their and adjust it to rein in squatters.
Another way is to traffic monitor (with some smarts) to cancel unused domains after a few months measured unuse. This would need some oversight, with a reclaim period of ~~6 months for a valid reason
Slowly and almost imperceptibly if you look at it day-to-day, public research repositories like arxiv and biorxiv, along with public code repositories like github and gitlab, are becoming or maybe already are the world's most important academic "journals."

All research and code posted on them gets a quick once-over; good work gets the attention it deserves; bad work is quickly ignored. Reviews take place over the Internet via both public and private forums.

Gatekeeping power lies more and more in the hands of a global, distributed scientific community open to anyone willing and capable of doing and reviewing the work. It's fabulous IMHO.

Since this article was published (2017) there has been a slow progression from checklist-type green building certifications like LEED to performance based approaches like Passive House which use measurable metrics - like air-changes-per-hour at 50 pascals (ACH50) and modeled heating/cooling energy consumption per unit area of living space.

These standards, however should be updated to consider occupant load and ongoing monitoring of energy consumption in these structures.

Although approaches like these if done well are a huge improvement for a building's occupants (in comfort and efficiency), they are of still of limited global impact because they are optional.

Going forward, to have any hope of impact on climate change the best of these approaches, from architectural and system design to construction, needs to be put into the building codes. Relying on the Prius (or nowadays Tesla) effect is not enough.

That said, demand for increased savings/efficiency and comfort must be induced in the population via incentives and via the general discourse, and not just be part of an expensive optional green building certification pursued by enthusiasts.
