I wouldn't assume that. I would bet most people enter a fake email address just to make the thing go away because they don't know you can just close most of them, or don't realize the passive aggressive "No I don't want great deals sent to my inbox every day because I hate great deals" text link is a button they can press to dismiss the dialog because they don't read it and it intentionally doesn't look like a button to discourage users from pressing (or reading) it.

> Software is completely different, it is hardly ever a repeatable process to create software. Making the same software over and over is nonsensical, but making a billion identical contact lenses is exactly what you want.

I've heard it said like this: Creating a software is like developing a recipe for a cake. Baking thousands of cakes (a "manufacturing process") is what you do once you have the recipe. The two activities are very different.
This is a constraint of the APIs provided by MacOS, they allow you to position by (x,y) coordinate and resize by width/height, but there's no way to tween these values...and nor should there be.

What's Tandem are doing here is (interesting, but) atypical behaviour.
The idea for most implementations of this I've seen are to colocate relatively "easy" sources of carbon neutral energy with the machines actively processing air - since you can theoretically remove CO2 from anywhere. In the case of Climeworks, their plants are often (or all of them?) positioned on or near a geothermal energy plant, which isn't something that's convenient to access in most locations.
I'm thinking of the projects that weren't even big enough to have multiple contributors. Nowadays, it's typical for most software authors to have their source code in version control and host it somewhere, regardless of whether there's anyone besides them committing to it. In the mid-2000s, you wouldn't typically go to that effort unless you had multiple active contributors. Single-developer projects, and projects with only occasional outside contributors, wouldn't typically be in public VCS.
This is a good point, and I agree with you. Ultimately that comes down to the top comment - the legal system has to take care of these cases quickly and effectively, or else people will just end up with corruption and vigilante justice instead.

What a non sequitur.

The claim being put forth is that crypto's environmental cost FAR outweighs its utility.

Your counterargument is that such concerns are unraisable simply because one can avoid personally using BTC. Or to put another way "if WE destroy the environment it's none of YOUR business"

And that is wrong -- the atmosphere is shared by all. Changes to its composition are everybody's shared concern.

If you want to argue that some other business's activity are too damaging to the environment to be allowed to continue... fine, make those arguments. But don't bat away concerns about crypto's absurd environmental cost as "none of your darn business"

The inability for users to police mods on reddit is becoming a serious problem in my opinion.

An additional problem is that most mods enable the rapid development of echo chambers through often well intentioned rules that become draconian when enforced by the right mod(s).
> - It's approximately a 180° pivot to go from "unused renewable energy" to "flare gas for green bitcoins"

I wrote earlier to avoid this specific derailing. Renewable and captured are not synonymous but usually the same. This is one of the cases where it is not the same. To my knowledge, the only other captured sources are at hydroelectric plants, while some parties are interested in geothermal as well.

Noteworthy is that “captured” seems to be also called “rejected” energy in some circles.

> And overall, creating the equipment to mine bitcoins with flare gas, and deploying that to remote oil fields w/ no use for gas, creates a bunch of emissions that simply don't exist if you just flare the gas.

Once. I’m not sure how a one time event is remotely comparable to ongoing issues. Please elaborate?

> It doesn't reduce the emissions. Whether you flare it or burn it in a gas turbine / engine driving a generator to mine bitcoin, the CO2 released is exactly the same, as you are burning ~100 % of the hydrocarbons either way. The difference is that one generates bitcoins, the other does not.

Hmm. Is there anything we can do about that then? Like does that format allow for further processing towards sustainability? The generating of bitcoin making it economical to do more with the CO2 that the oil guys just threw their hands up on decades ago? If this issue has nothing to do with bitcoin mining and the alternative is just business as usual with it going directly to the atmosphere like it already was, then why point fingers at the bitcoin mining?

Oh thanks for your answer, that's very interesting! For someone wanting to upgrade from rtl-sdr that seems a good step up.

While you're here, I'm particularly interested whether you're aiming for something more ambitious some day or 100% focused on kraken? I'm thinking coherent 32/64 rx channels or more? Also, is there a way to assemble two krakens and synchronize them somehow so as to have 10x coherent rx? :-)

There's probably a better channel of communication for such questions

> Rent control directly (or undirectly, depending on your views) decreases the supply of rentable units

But it doesn't. Rent control never takes away any supply. Even if rent control were fully abolished, that same person would still need the same amount of housing (presumably even in the same unit). From a "supply" perspective, it's literally a 1 to 1 -- no change in unit counts, up or down, in any way.

Rent control has no influence over "supply" (unless you are secretly hoping to force a lot of humans into homelessness or something). Rent control only determines how much a person is forced to pay to keep their own housing (housing already built, and that they already occupy) consistent.

> Your seatbelt analogy implies that anybody, at any time, can obtain rent control.

Correct, and that's absolutely true. Generally speaking, legislators could pass a law today to give everybody and anybody rent control (at either the municipal / county / state or federal level). It's literally just a pen stroke away.

There was a time when seatbelts weren't law, and it was harder to obtain them. We recognized how unequal of a situation that would make things, and thus mandated through regulations via law that all cars have them. (Just as right now, it's really unequal for some people to have rent control, but others don't).

Generally, every argument against Rent Control, is really an argument about how it sucks that they don't get rent control themselves. The problem is not rent control, the problem is a lack of enough rent control. If rent control was universal (applied to 100% of rental units) then most of the perceived problems with it would vanish overnight.

> If I take 10% of the seats and allow people to reserve them for personal use indefinitely

That's not an better analogy, it's a unfair one. Rent control does not give people the ability to reserve lots of housing units indefinitely, and rent control doesn't actually distribute or redistribute anything. It lets households pay for one (1) unit at real-world rates (which is exactly the same amount of housing they'd still need and use without any rent control, except that household would suddenly have to give a bunch of extra money away for literally no reason).
In short, from PopeHat -

Nearly 100 years ago Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., voting to uphold the Espionage Act conviction of a man who wrote and circulated anti-draft pamphlets during World War I, said “[t]he most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting fire in a theatre and causing a panic.”

That flourish — now usually shortened to “shout fire in a crowded theater” — is the media’s go-to trope to support the proposition that some speech is illegal. But it’s empty rhetoric. I previously explained at length how Holmes said it in the context of the Supreme Court’s strong wartime pro-censorship push and subsequently retreated from it. That history illustrates its insidious nature. Holmes cynically used the phrase as a rhetorical device to justify jailing people for anti-war advocacy, an activity that is now (and was soon thereafter) unquestionably protected by the First Amendment.

In practice I don’t think banning NoNewNormal now matters much. I prefer unbanned because I don’t like censorship, but this isn’t a slippery slope problem, Reddit has long been free falling into the latrine pit. I’ve had to go offsite with my old Reddit community. Efforts can be made, but I think the entire process here is useless.
I do. I would much rather pay than see ads or be required to give up personal information. I can understand that not everyone wants that, but I do. I also have been very disappointed with usability of FOSS to the point that I rarely consider using it anymore. So yeah, I'm happy to pay (once per version I actually use).
I don't need to understand the very complex tradeoffs in setting COVID policies.

But I pay and choose my politicians with the expectation that they will apply cost benefit analysis as the author suggests to COVID policies.

I don't expect them to announce "we decided to sacrifice 50 teachers to reopen the schools and educate a million children". I expect them to come up with a more palletable explanation. But the underlying decision should still be based on a cost benefit analysis, however inhumane it may sound.
Why does that stuff need to be blocked or deleted? Most people, even very skeptical people, are smart enough to realize that stuff is BS.

I mean what is all this clickbait outlier crap the media feeds everybody about that one poor sick covid kid who died? Then everybody thinks that kids are dying all over the place when that isn't even close to true.

Should we ban all clickbait?
I agree. A function that properly handles its helpers internal errors is better than a function that simply rethrows them. However, both are better than a function that simply rethrows them AND leaves the application in an inconsistent state. Additionally, adding the "try" syntax makes it clear that "insert" has been written poorly. For example, consider the code:

func insert(id: Int, object: ThingInSpace) {
var location = try get_location(object);
ids.update(id);
locations[id] = location;
metadatas[id] = compute_metadata(object);
}

Now I can be sure that compute_metadata doesn't fail, so it's fine that I've inlined the call, whereas it's important that get_location isn't inlined. But this syntax also suggests to a code reviewer that maybe insert should wrap the error returned by get_location and caught.

Of course you could always catch the error and restore the state, but without the `try` syntax, you can't tell by reading the function which lines can fail, and where you need to handle the error.
Imagine we're in an elevator together and I said "I'm gonna fart now" then I passed gas. Would my saying so make it better?

Admitting to doing something obnoxious does not make it less obnoxious. If anything, it makes it more so. It says the person knew what they were doing was a problem and they wanted to share the problem with everyone.
Then let me say thanks! There was a programming competition in university where we made bots to play 2048 for (with a few months time), that played against each other in a live tournament (who got the most points mostly).
That was the most fun competition I ever participated in!!

The bot was playing way better than me personally and regularly reached the 4096 tile. It was a lot of fun to just watch it play and really awesome to make it play better :)
Everything in this comment is the kind of bad faith misrepresentation that was used to attack and censor the lab leak hypothesis, by painting it as something different from what it was. Most people didn’t insist the virus was man made, but that a virus may have leaked. Most of those who suggested a purposefully engineered virus said it is possible and should be investigated, not that it was definite. Most people didn’t suggest Fauci was a “mastermind”, but that he funded foreign GoF research that would be unacceptable in the US. You’re making your adversaries’ arguments into straw-man arguments that you can easily knock down.
I'm rather fond of buttons that look like buttons, rather than colored rectangles or buttons that look like links, because they have affordances to what they can do.

I said it's not just about wealth. Yes, if both a millionaire and an average salaried employee spend 30% of their income, the millionaire will always get the house. But they don't compete for the same real estate. Instead, the average person competes with others grouped around the average, and 30% vs 15% of income is a significant difference. If you really, really want to live in the prime location, you can, you just have to spend more.

> Secondly, why is the merit of high income more valuable than waiting in the line for longest time?

Because it correlates with useful stuff being done for society. Not perfectly, of course, but somewhat. Waiting doesn't at all. And it's usually not about "waiting", it's often about being part of some group, having the luck of the draw, knowing someone in the office that assigns priorities, or "inheriting" the right to live in some (publicly owned) flat from your parents.

What happens then? Person A lives in a very desirable place, person B does not, and person B has to subsidize A's flat.

Quoting from Edward Snowden: "I intentionally wave away the technical and procedural details of Apple’s system here, some of which are quite clever, because they, like our man in the handsome suit, merely distract from the most pressing fact—the fact that, in just a few weeks, Apple plans to erase the boundary dividing which devices work for you, and which devices work for them."

Reference: https://edwardsnowden.substack.com/p/all-seeing-i

So the details really don't matter as much as the fact that this creates a huge precedent. And, quoting Snowden again, "There is no fundamental technological limit to how far the precedent Apple is establishing can be pushed, meaning the only restraint is Apple’s all-too-flexible company policy, something governments understand all too well." (emphasis mine)

So I might read through that PDF, I might even understand it, but what it can't dissuade me from is a persuasion that yes, governments can and will take advantage of this turn of events, and no, there is no technological or legal barrier that can keep them from doing so once this is in place.
The biggest security risk with being on someone else's mobile network account in the US is that someone else has control of your phone number.

These days, access to your phone number basically constitutes verification and authorization from you for many things, including transfers of money.

I control the phone lines for myself, my wife, my mom, one of my cousins, and my sister. But I would not give someone other than my wife control of mine or my wife's phone number, no matter how much I trust them.

>If everyone gets along, there's not a whole lot of downside here.

Everyone always gets along, until they do not.
As others have said, it depends on terrain, your antenna, the altitude of the aircraft, etc. But generally, 50-60 miles is pretty easy with almost any setup.

I have an ADS-B antenna mounted on my roof that feeds into a filter and an amp, and I get less than 50 miles in some directions (because of mountains) and more than 150 miles in other directions (over the ocean).

Here's a map of my coverage (any altitude), with range rings every 50 miles: https://www.flickr.com/photos/wallofhair/51403416502

My coverage for altitudes up to 10,000 feet: https://www.flickr.com/photos/wallofhair/51404165241

It's radio, so nothing's guaranteed. Those maps show the maximum ranges at which I picked up any aircraft in that direction over a couple months, so they're kind of a best-case, showing when conditions possibly happened to be perfect. I also have a dead zone just around my house, because my gain is configured to prioritize range. Lots of tradeoffs in RF.

There's a site (with an impossible-to-remember name) that can predict antenna range for you (it's not obvious how to use it; Try "New panorama", then "Up in the Air"): http://www.heywhatsthat.com/

Here's what it shows for me. The blue ring is 40,000 feet altitude and the orange ring is 10,000 feet altitude: https://www.flickr.com/photos/wallofhair/51404944889

It does make sense from the numbers 99% of hospitalised vaccinated, 98% of the population vaccinated you should conclude that the vaccine increases the risk of hospitalisation. That is why the number comes out negative. It would be the same in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccine_efficacy if you swapped the numbers for vaccine / placebo. The number would come out negative if in a trial the vaccine worked worse than the placebo. In your scenario you confuse yourself by calculating with percentages, I think.
Nice ! Do you only support some platforms (will love to know all supported platforms on your website)or can we also create images with counter based on external data sources (through an API)?

If the over-engineering is in the wrong dimension (one that the project doesn't need), then the cost will be double: adding the over-engineering and then detangling from it.

The problem is there are too many dimensions a given project can be over-engineered if the future is uncertain. So even an educated guess has a good chance of being wrong.

There's plenty of ways in which we could improve on the current setup. Everything could be so much easier, for one thing. Basic things like animation, drag & drop and responsive design all require libraries or extensive knowledge to get them right.

Something like websockets is not exactly accessible to a beginner, but there is a huge need for online content that supports live interaction.

You are right that it's not going to be easy to get everyone on board, but that should not be a reason to stop trying.

I don’t see how the conclusion is vaccination “risks” may outweigh benefits when there appear to be nearly 0 risks to vaccination and even upon breakthrough incredible benefits of vaccination (stated in his own article).

The only logical response to the data he presents is get vaccinated so the deleterious effects of breakthrough infection are lessened and you get the benefits of both vaccine and natural immunity from the eventuality of the disease becoming endemic.

And yes, SARS-CoV-2 is becoming endemic…
The other issue is most engineers want to over-engineer. So anything that encourages that without noting the real costs should probably be tampered down.

… of those well-encapsulated types. Throwing an exception like this cannot break an internal invariant of the list object which is what the author is saying.

Honestly the effect is probably not very large.

People like come up with "Bitcoin uses more electricity than <small country>!" as a shock headline, but that's just statistical chicanery. A very small percentage multiplied by the whole world is a large absolute number. It's like saying "the global paper industry uses more electricity than all of Australia!" People think of Australia as being big, but as a percentage of the whole world, not that big.

The primary advantage is that cryptocurrency mining is highly price sensitive, so if you have something like wind turbines that produce more at night even though there is more demand during the day, it can be profitable to only mine cryptocurrency at night. Which increases the revenue for the wind farm and makes it more profitable, which means we can have more wind farms and fewer coal power plants. But only by like a half a percent of the power grid, because that's how much is going into Bitcoin.
