Chess is an art, it only has meaning because humans give it meaning, and has a human audience. Keep the win-tie-draw scheme but apply bonus points in top-tier tournaments for “beautiful” wins, as determined by a large-ish group of Master and above players in near-real-time. Like style points in Olympic sports. The Internet makes such a scheme workable, and the chess community gets more entertaining games to watch as a result.
You could make different player’s in-game clocks appear slower or faster, but you obviously couldn’t affect the players’ actual subjective clocks, so you obviously couldn’t do any of the interesting things like the twin paradox, unless the entire in-game simulation was sped up significantly and you could do something interesting with in-game characters aging at different rates.

I hear you, but it's not possible to mitigate our way out of this. It's simply happening too fast. Of all of the carbon that's been released into the atmosphere since the industrial revolution, half of it has come in the last 30 years.

Over the course of a millennium, sure, maybe even a couple of centuries. But we're looking at a single generation to get this done. And that's without burning a huge amount of oil to make it happen.
To me it starts to feel more like one person is asking another to do their job.

This person actually isn't your employer, your employer is the company, so if your manager starts to ask you to do tasks that should normally fall to them, they're asking you to do their job and taking the credit, that's neither good for the employer nor for you.

PayPal supports unverified scam accounts
I just fell into ticket scam:
Right now most events in covid-times need a ticket.

For a specific event I found a ticket on Facebook. The seller asked to send the money for the ticket as family and friends. No problem. After transferring the money I discovered the seller is not in the city instead in Africa. So I mark the transaction as an unverified transaction. The case gets closed, saying it's nothing wrong with transaction. But seller here is marked by Facebook as a scam. PayPal probably has thousands of those cases a day. What can I do? I can not contact support on the weekends. How many here have been falling for a scam through PayPal recently?

This reminds me of Arranmore island's request for immigrants (Ireland)... I earnestly pursued more information and it turns out they didn't even have anywhere for potential immigrants to live.

This is not disingenuous - it's a statement of the reality within which we live. You can claim all you like that there is no coercion taking place, and that e2e would solve all ills, but it doesn't change the facts that:

- All cloud providers scan for it. Facebook, Google, Amazon, Apple, Imgur ... There's a list of 144 companies at NCMEC. There must be a damn good reason for that consensus...

- Because they scan for it, they are obliged (coerced, if you will) to report anything they find. By law.

- Facebook (to pull an example out of the air) reported 20.3 million times last year. Google [1] are on for 365,319 for July->Dec and are coming up on 3 million reports. Apple reported 265 cases last year.

- Using e2e doesn't remove the tarnish of CSAM being on your service. All it does is give some hand-wavy deniability "oh, we didn't know". Yes, but you chose to not know by enforcing e2e. That choice was the act, and kiddy-porn providers flocking to your service was the consequence. Once the wheels of justice turn a few times, and there becomes a trend of insert your e2e service being where all the kiddy-porn is stored, there's no coming back.

The problem here is that there's no easy technical answer to a problem outside the technical sphere. It's not the technology that's the problem, it's the users, and you don't solve that by technological means. You take a stand and you defend it. To some, that will be your solution ("It's all e2e, we don't know or take any ownership, it's all bits to us"). To others, it'll be more like Apple's stance ("we will try our damndest not to let this shit propagate or get on our service"). Neither side will easily compromise too much towards the other, because both of them have valid points.

You pays your money and you takes your choice. My gut feeling is that the people bemoaning this as if the end-times were here will still all (for reasonable definitions of "all") be using iCloud in a few months time, and having their photos scanned (just like they have been for ages, but this time on upload to iCloud rather than on receipt by iCloud).

Nice, but that's still too expensive in my opinion for what you're getting. Sure it's 16 cores, but the speed of those cores isn't great. I'm not sure what the right price point is, but you're either at $40-80 for 2-4 core 4GB RAM or $500+ for tons of cores.

My ideal build is $100-200, 4-8 cores, bring your own RAM,

You cannot travel at or faster than the speed of light. I know this isn't satisfying, but that's why you've never had a clear answer.

As you approach the speed of light, (.9c, .99c, .999c...) two things happen.

1. Everything gets blue shifted. Light that would normally be coming at you in pretty shades of blue, green, and red become shades of ultra violet, then shades of x-rays, then shades of gamma rays.

2. More and more light arrives. As a result of length contraction/time dilation, you might get a century's worth of starlight in a second.

Depending on how fast you're going, the light coming in from in front of you might be extremely dangerous. Even a dim, cool Sun-like star might kill you with intense high energy gamma rays.

Left and right of you things would appear fairly normal.

Behind you, you'd have the opposite effect of what you see in front of you. Everything would be redshifted, and much lower intensity.
Maybe worth to support front camera (TrueDepth camera) as well? Record3d gives pretty good accuracy (https://record3d.app/).

I have trouble believing we are doomed to failure and there is no point in trying. If you don't bother to try, that sounds like self-fulfilling prophecy to me, not proof that we couldn't have accomplished something if we had tried.
It’s SR pretty much fine for accelerations of fairly small masses (like a spaceship that’s much smaller than, say, a planet)?
That's exactly the problem. Every potential solution starts with either one of the following assumptions (1) some technology that we do not have access to (either at the required scale or even at all), (2) unlimited funding, (3) unlimited energy that does not somehow make the problem worse, (4) unlimited time.

We have none of these, I can think of a possible solution but you're not going to like it.
Are you participating in the re-launch of development for Infinity? (great to see it happening)

If so, what approach are you taking for the toolchain? Keeping the existing version that had been used/modified? Updating to newer tools (and code changes that may go along with that)?
I live in Qatar, and the Qataris are notorious for finding ways to avoid paying their bills, delaying payment for extremely long periods, or asking for unreasonable reductions. Claiming something is wrong or faulty is a common tactic, another one is to substantially expand the scope of a project, and then refuse to pay when the project inevitably runs over the original deadline.

Akbar Al Baker pulled similar cons with the construction of Doha airport, demanding the project be accelerated but refusing to pay for the extra work that would be involved. Bechtel and Lindner/ Depa Interiors are two companies that spring to mind. They also suffered due to the erratic and insanely inefficient bureaucracy that is endemic in Qatar - 60-70% of Qataris "Work" in government jobs.

Similar stories can be heard of tower construction in Qatar. Empty and unfinished towers littler the country due the Qataris failing to pay their dues to construction companies. This article superficially covers it: https://www.constructionweekonline.com/business/article-3775...

There are more options than the extremes of passive aggressive or screaming at people.

Plenty of people have learned the art of being professional in the workplace without yelling or holding back for the sake of being polite. It’s actually very refreshing to work at companies where management isn’t afraid to tell people they’re coming up short of expectations but can do so with tact but without yelling.
We need a CO2 tax to account for this devastation. Folks that want to save money today by not introducing a CO2 tax ought to consider what precious little that saved money will buy if crop land turns to desert and the world is aflame. Folks can’t spend money if they end up in an early grave.

So put the CO2 tax money toward EV credits, solar, wind, batteries, carbon capture and power-to-gas tech, etc...

This isn’t a consequence free world we live in. If we forsake the earth, I’m afraid we will be forsaken.
> what, exactly, does bullying constitute if it doesn't also constitute an assault or criminal harassment?

For this statement to be true, you would have to be asserting that all children that do this are also guilty of criminal harassment or assault.

This is such a clearly absurd position that asserting it in the first place demonstrates an absolute lack of understanding of what bullying is. I'd even go so far as to say that it is a defense of wielding power in socially negative way that frays relationships and degrades social environments.
If you focus solely on the publishers, your impact will be minimal; they can ignore you. But publishers get all their money from institutions. So you could focus your energy on forcing institutions to stop using the publishers. But you will find that institutions don't want the model to change. They want to pay less money for publishing, but they don't actually want to lose the paid journals, because their whole research funding model would collapse, as it's built entirely around the reputation of the journal. Either institutions have to completely re-invent how they fund and organize research, or someone has to get paid to do the actual work of maintaining journals.

The publishers' profit margins are one thing; anyone could start a competing publisher tomorrow and take a fraction of the profit. But people are not asking for reduced profit, they're asking for abolishment of paid publishing, which is like saying, let's abolish the entire system of scientific research.
I know of someone broadening the traditional "Mr/Mrs/Ms" "M/F" and is unclear on what to broaden it to, nor can find agreement amongst the clients as to what to broaden it to, beyond that they want it broadened.

There's a lot of science we'd like to do on the moon, chief of which would be to actually test the space-settlement self-sufficiency problems in an environment like that.

With the ISS as comparison, it's not going to be "bam 100 people" it's pretty obviously going to be a process of rotating in progressively larger crews while the systems and bottlenecks are worked out. Not to mention we'll benefit a lot from the sort of focused sustainability research this will generate.

has been hosting a series of conferences on how to balance the safety and privacy aspects of E2EE products.

I am not interested in “balancing” anything. This is not a negotiation and it is not open to compromise. The opposite of privacy is not “safety”; it is surveillance. I refuse to use products that actively surveil me behind my back. Consumers deserve products that work for consumer interests, not products that ultimately serve someone else.
Wow, I didn't expect this to blow up nor did I expect so many people to come out so vehemently in defense of someone wielding power in such a way as to negatively affect people.

It's really illuminating to see what kind of behaviors people take the effort to defend and support. I wish I could say I was surprised but I've seen people speak out in favor of hurting other people far too often.

I said this in another comment but the 3-month introductory rate I got is $150/month going up to $300/month after that.

The biggest advantage I’ve seen over libraries/coffeeshops is that I’m expected to be there working all day and it’s fine for me to hog a desk/space as long as I want to. I don’t have to think about whether I’m being selfish or bothering anybody else.

Plus the WeWorks have really great quiet booths for phone calls which very few free/cheap options have.
Several reasons prices stay high:

The dispensaries are limited regionally by law, so it's not truly a free market.

There are often taxes on the weed as well. Gray and black market prices are significantly cheaper.

A lot of the excess stuff is sold to regions where it's still illegal, although those hold outs are dwindling.

Production cost per pound is expensive, and going up across the board: labor, electricity, water, commercial leases, equipment, fertilizers, and grow media.

Top shelf is mostly grown indoors under artificial lights instead of in greenhouses.

Further, the farmer's and dispensary's regulations are complex and daunting.

Grow your own if you want it cheap. You'll quickly learn how challenging it is to produce top shelf.

I'm in the States, but much of this applies to Canada as well.

Is this the foundation for the "holographic" description of the universe? Photons, traveling at the speed of light, effectively don't see one of the dimensions, so can be described using "N-1" dimensions. (Edit: Or does zero rest mass make them a special case?)

Can someone also confirm whether the following thinking is valid? The expansion of space means that the edge of the observable universe appears to be receding at the speed of light. As such, it has "N-1" dimensions and that is where the idea of a holographic boundary comes from? The same reasoning applies to the "N-1" dimensions of the event horizon in a black hole?
I wish someone would write a good article, not US centric, about the current state of RCS but I haven't found any so far.

From what I understand, Google has gone from pushing an open standard to carriers, to pretty much steamrolling their own (Jibe) infrastructure.

Some carriers implemented Universal Profile on their own, probably a bit too late to Google's taste, and are now completely left out as they cannot interconnect to a federated RCS network.

And I know from personal sources that FB is currently working on integrating RCS into FB messenger (I'm not sure about target markets though).

I own a Pixel and I don't mind using Google's Messages app, but if the goal is avoiding Whatsapp (or whatever local competitor) to become the de facto messaging platform, RCS doesn't look much better.

And a big question remains: who's going to force Apple to support RCS?
