Water vapour potentially works as a greenhouse gas too though, although it’s debated how much effect it has - https://www.nasa.gov/topics/earth/features/vapor_warming.htm...

That’s actually one reason I’m quite excited about wind and solar as a power source. Apart from the CO₂ that coal and gas pants emit (and the fugitive methane emissions from coal, oil and gas production), it seems like an improvement to be able to generate electricity without having to pump so much waste heat into the atmosphere with all that water vapour.
Agreed. I've never understood this assumption that one is entitled to get something for nothing merely by virtue of owning a house. Investment is just another form of gambling dressed up in the garb of respectability..

Nouriel Roubini implies that carbon tax could mean a negative value. Contrary to income tax, a carbon tax wouldn't be a "negative" tax.

This horrifies me. Even the slightest increase in interest rates will ruin a huge number of home owners.

On the other hand, home ownership in the UK isn’t normal either. It’s only since the 50s or perhaps 60s that the average person has been able to afford a home. And then again in the 80s with council houses sold off to tenants.
"There is a real problem in science—with widespread questionable research practices [...] I think that the root of it all is the publication system, and the pressure to publish as the only way that scientists are being judged. The new publishing platform I envisage would stop forcing researchers to try to tell a story, allowing them to concentrate on doing their work to the best of their ability and on constructively collaborating.

Q: How would this new publication system work?

A: The overall idea behind the new platform, which I called Octopus, is to break the standard unit of publication up into eight smaller stages or pieces. These include formulated scientific problems, hypotheses, methods and protocols, data, analysis, interpretation, and real-world applications. The eighth piece is reviews where people share their comments about the other stages, but it's also treated as a publication itself because it is a constructive piece of collaboration. [...]

The formulated scientific problem automatically becomes the beginning of a chain, and all the other pieces are vertically linked upward. If you have a great hypothesis, you can publish that and link it straight up to the problem that it is trying to address. And if you've collected some small amount of data, you can publish that, linking it directly up to the protocol that you followed. It will also be possible to create horizontal links between publications; maybe somebody has come up with an amazing algorithm whilst studying starling flocking behavior and somebody else working on oil pipelines has decided to use it."

According to the book "Rest: Why You Get More Done When You Work Less", the best way to rest is to do (i) physical activities, (ii) which are cognitively demanding, and (iii) in touch with nature. When these three factors happen, you cannot think in anything else. Your body, your head, and your soul will all forget about work.

For instance, try picking up an outdoor sport which is new to you, e.g. kite-surfing, snowboarding or climbing. It will fulfill the three requirements.

In the US at least though I believe zoning is the issue.

Our zoning laws are so bad and it is so hard to add to supply that no one really bothers much.

There are all kinds of dislocations in the market because what you should see right now is massive amounts of home building but you do not. 15 minutes away from me there is a ton of open land that could practically be built into a entire new town. I would imagine the larger the project the more bullshit you have to deal with when it comes to permits, zoning, political pushback, palms that need grease.

If you compare the work, risk/reward to alternative investments like just holding the stock market index it becomes a bad investment so it doesn't get made.

We have all these self reinforcing distortions happening in the market that probably can't be fixed.

Yeah. Those video game obfuscation schemes work like that. Denuvo and its friends. It's a virtual machine with a instruction set designed for maximum obfuscation. Some of game's code is compiled for it in order to make reverse engineering and cracking ridiculously hard. These technologies are known for killing the game's framerate and responsible for cracked versions being superior to genuine ones.

Investors buying existing private properties and not replacing them with higher density housing is something I could support ban of. Ofc, there should be some limitations on pricing of new units offered.
> if anything, inequality is lower now than it has been in the past

So, sorry for rephrasing it, your claim is that the poorest have better conditions than before (I don‘t know if that is the case), not that inequality has decreased. It is an interesting point.

For the final, not open access published papers they certainly do.
I notice this in cats too. There is a stray cat I feed from time to time. When I try to pet her, she does not appreciate it by often trying to scratch me. On the other hand, I stepped on her paw once and she did nothing.
Of course, this is anecdotal evidence.
> It would certainly discourage the building of houses in the city centre.

No, that's not how it works. The value of a property is made up of the value of the land and the value of the buildings on it. If one of these two components is taxed, its value is reduced. However, it is important to remember that the supply of land is fixed, but the supply of buildings is not.
If one taxes buildings, as is the case with a traditional property tax, construction activity is reduced, but if one taxes only land, as is the case with a land value tax, construction activity is not impeded at all. That's the beauty of a land value tax: it doesn't distort anything.

With a property tax, an undeveloped lot in the center of town is taxed less than a high-rise. With a land value tax, both are taxed at the same rate. Relatively speaking, a property tax promotes sprawl, a land value tax promotes density.

FYI:

- half of all art works on the US market today are fake (source: US LEO)

- that makes old collections very valuable since the art has provenance

- but note that even very old fakes are valuable. A work by a master faker can still be a masterpiece. You could make a lot of money by buying those and holding.

- anything in bronze is valuable, whether new or old.

There are a lot of different ways of understanding what exactly it is that makes quantum computers more powerful. There isn't one simple clean answer.

As a counterpoint to the "it's the bigger state space" idea, note that quantum computations over a polynomial number of qubits with a polynomial number of steps can be simulated by a classical computer using polynomial space (but not polynomial time). So the quantum state space isn't "intrinsically huge" or beyond-the-reach-of-classcal; at least not in that particular sense. Also note that every quantum state we will ever make will be generated by some tractable number of operations done with a tractable amount of precision. So the reachable in practice states are discrete and compressible into a tractable number of bits [the bits being a description of the operations used to produce them].

The one thing that makes me wonder how nations would behave here is government-funded information generally is only available for free in the host country. BBC content is only free in Britain. ABC content is only free in Australia. Is e.g. NPR content gratis outside the US? Similarly, should NSF-backed research be freely available to the USA or the world?

(I’m in favour of the world for both science and the BBC-style content, for similar reasons really - it’s generally useful for humanity and it seems spiteful to charge some groups when you produced it with the purpose of giving it away for free in the first place).

Best selling kei cars are like Honda N-BOX and Suzuki Spacia, both are called "super height wagon", near 1800mm height (higher than RAV4) and eyepoint is also higher than sedans. So it blocks some people's view, but not annoying thanks to very narrow 1475mm width.
squatting is a "solution" to empty houses. Its not a good solution but it certainly draws attention to the issue.
We use azure SQL (basically mssql) to perform something similar -- this might be a more apt comparison.

We deal with largish amounts of JSON event data, and unpack specific fields to computed columns. This allows to use clustered indices, standard analytical tools, etc., while leaving the raw data as it is.

Performance is mostly fine for analytics (time series aggregation and such). It is also a very flexible approach.

The sad reality is that people want their own BBQ and not really mix with their neighbours. That’s what poor people have to put up with, so to speak.
> These projects can conflict with the requirements of other projects.

There's established ways to install those. Some are language-specific (python's virtualenvs) while others are system-wide (guix/nix/flatpak/snap/appimage/0install). If you have a more precise question about how to setup/package a specific project, feel free to ask.

> The problem is that I (and lots of people) are dependent on NVidia, so we are dependent on OSes which are supported by them.

I'm sorry for you, but we can't really blame that situation on the free-software ecosystem. If our governments and police were more concerned with multinationals (Nvidia in this example) exploiting people than with poor people stealing food or squatting abandoned houses, maybe there could be a justice on this planet.
> I could never understand why this wasn't means tested continually.

They've started some degree of means testing a few years ago: the maximum allowed rent increase on social/rent-controlled houses can now depend on income. This was controversial legislation for privacy reasons (it involves giving landlords information about tenant incomes every year).
Marx's analysis is as relevant today as ever. The expansion of capital seeking ever-increasing sources of surplus value has left most of us as nothing more than serfs subject to the whims of landlords.
Nothing's going to put that cat back in the bag at this rate, short of a capital gains tax. But given 70% of our politicians are property investors themselves that won't ever be on the cards.

This whole sorry state of affairs makes me glad I left the country. That and how utterly abysmal IT salaries are.
I think it should be obvious to most of us that intelligence is a combination of statistical learning, tree search, and the kind of generalized knowledge about the physical world the article is talking about. I don't believe any of the three components alone can excel at any meaningful or interesting task. ML can play go, but can't fold clothes, isn't it absurd?

Going back to self-driving, the main challenge on the roads seems to be the fact that anything or anyone can suddenly appear on the road in front of the car. It can be a drunk person, a slow animal (or a fast one), it can be a huge but empty cardboard box, or it can be a fridge in cardboard packaging left on the road for whatever stupid reason. The possibilities are almost literally infinite. A good FSD system should be able to assess, try to make a good prediction of the behavior (it's kind of OK to hit an empty box if I don't want to cause much discomfort to my passengers, but not OK to hit a fridge).

Hence in my opinion ML-based FSD is a dead end, always has been from the beginning. If you asked me 10 years ago I'd have told you the whole effort and billions of investments are going to get us some improved hardware at best but never a true universal self-driving system. The self-confidence of Google's executives, Tesla's and others' who repeatedly made predictions about this technology in the past decade is just astonishing. I've been thinking to myself all this time: how can they not see it? Really, where is this enthusiasm around ML coming from?

For their hardware, I have no opinion. They don't serve the market segment I'm interested in ($300-500) and it is probably not financially viable for them to either. I don't hold that against them.

As far as software goes, PopOS provided the first GNOME experience that I did not hate. The installer is significantly faster than MOST other distros' installers, and the defaults, especially with the new cosmic release, are sane enough that I can change only a couple of things to get to work. On my laptop it is stable and fast. I recommend it.

Why is it reasonable to assume that people earning an average wage should be able to afford a home in the most desirable city in the UK, and one of the most desirable cities in Europe if not the world?

I mean, nobody complains in the US if the average family can’t buy a home in Manhattan. That’s just unreasonable.

The article is not actually comparing the intelligence of babies with the "intelligence" of self-driving cars (since as you said, this makes no sense).

I cannot access the full article, but the leading paragraph says:

> BY THE AGE of seven months, most children have learned that objects still exist even when they are out of sight. Put a toy under a blanket and a child that old will know it is still there, and that he can reach underneath the blanket to get it back. This understanding, of “object permanence”, is a normal developmental milestone, as well as a basic tenet of reality.

So one could imagine the article is about "object permanence", something that is easier to compare between babies and self-driving cars. But not sure how interesting articles you can write about it (or interesting knee-jerk HN comments about said articles).
If you are buying to rent in the Dutch market, and you are not part of the royal family, or a Black Rock fund you are making a big mistake. You are in a legal environment where you will not be able to evict a non paying tenant for several years. If there are children in the picture or a divorce you will have even more serious problems. The Belastingen will come after your earnings plus, you are likely to be victim of a legal environment biased to puritanical inspired laws, that try to hit back at anybody trying to get ahead of their neighbors in the same street. In other words, there are strong forces to make you get back to conformity, on what is a very homogeneous society. You will be taking on a huge amount of risk that normally only professional well funded investors are able to weather.

They are both Dutch situations.

The eco regulation shenanigans is about nitrogen emissions. They are limited by European regulations near protected areas.
The government ignored and worked around these regulations for a long time. Then environmental parties sued, and we were so far above the limits it was essentially ruled "no more emissions". Whilst building new houses causes a decent amount of emissions. This meant that country wide, getting building permits became almost impossible.

This contributed partially to our current housing shortage.
"This."
It's such a shame, too. You can likely re-freeze the spikevax vials with partial shots to be used at a later date, but that's too uncontrolled to add to the EUA/BLA label. Comirnaty is (was) in phosphate buffer and saline, which you really cannot re-freeze. They did just request a formulation change to the same composition as spikevax (or at least very similar), which should also get rid of the saline dilution step making it overall much easier to administer.
As someone who does indie ruby stuff, often under time constraints, I find jsonb great for storing messy data that looks unnecessary, but which might be useful down the track. jsonb is just another type as far as postgres/rails is concerned, so it's fast implement (just like any other rails migration), fast to query, and easy to access using key/value (similar to the ruby hash).
Depending on the field of research it is quite common to publish only in open access journals [1]. At my university, we are actually only allowed to publish in peer-reviewed OA journals. Most of them provide a paid subscription for the print version while the online version is free and open to everyone.

However, I got the (personal) impression, that this is only well established in fundamental research (which typically comes with few economic interest). As soon as the research is not paid by the state but by private companies (such as in medicine, robotics or any other "applied sciences"), scientists have a hard time to choose a OA journal (i.e. either it does not exist or you are not allowed to publish there). Changing this scheme is of course quite difficult, since too many commercial parties still benefit from it (which likely can only be change by law)...

Anyone can test, true, but you need the machine in front of you to do it. There's definitely value in knowing before you buy that the manufacturer has made sure that their hardware works with your favourite distro -- and that they've chosen components specifically to make that the case. That's information you can't get about most other laptops, apart from the ones that are so popular that someone somewhere has blogged their experience.
