That initial stage isn't very promising. 50000 people on 1500 acres is only about 30 dwellings per acre, not very impressive. You can achieve that density with traditional row houses.
Unfortunately, and also "Led by Tesla" - the EV metrics that people have been trained to look for are now: range, 0-60 times, and such.

Things like weight, battery capacity, or chemistry - all which have the largest impact on emissions - are ignored. In fact, judging by the chemistries that Tesla is now exporting from China, there will be a very serious effort to hide battery chemistry as much as possible.
For the record, that comes from GP's link to the ProtonMail website. But you are correct. Verify before clicking anything like that.

Please take a look at the linked Wikipedia article. The problem with solar is that peak energy demand occurs right when solar output is 0. So it means you still need to have the same power capacity from non-solar sources regardless of whether solar can serve 100% of need at midday (without storage).
"Federation and Discord-style protocols are inherently incompatible"

Really? I wonder how Rocket.Chat federation overcame this "inherent incompatibility"

https://docs.rocket.chat/guides/administration/administratio...
I think so. The definition of federated is not as specific as you're making it out to be.
That seems to be a DRM problem. Let's say that you want the camera to track all modifications of the picture. Then, analogous to DRM, there's nothing stopping the forger from just replacing the CCD array on the camera with a wire connected to a computer running GIMP.

To patch the "digital hole", it would be necessary to make the camera tamperproof, or force GIMP to run under a trusted enclave that won't do transformations without a live internet connection, or create an untamperable watermark system to place the transform metadata in the picture itself.

These are all attempted solutions to the DRM problem. And since DRM doesn't work, nor would this, I don't think.

Because trying out new political structures that is the reason for building the new city. Nevada has passed a law recently that allows for basically the creation of new counties within existing ones. The county level is where quite a bit of political power lies, even though that level of government is often forgotten. Who knows what might come out of it, but I would like to see someone give it a try.
In the "Things we don't tolerate" list, for "classes" they link to a short post which describes a simple use of prototypes with "types" but not "classes" and ends with "Why not?"

Building something can show that an approach is possible, but not why you think it's preferable.

I'm closely following Conduit and Dendrite. Running a Synapse server currently.

Staying on topic, Dendrite is written in Rust, meant to be super performant. Stoked for hybrid-P2P via Bluetooth LE for offline usage.

Edit: looks like I got confused. Conduit is written in Rust. Ssenica was right, Dendrite is written in Go. To coffee I go!
Well, perhaps `rg unsafe` if you want to use the rust counterpart to grep, ripgrep ;)
The "request" came in the form of a legally binding order from the Swiss Federal Department of Justice.

They have stated that there was not a legal possiblity to challenge in this case after the Swiss DOJ made their determination.

You suggest "go to court" but there was apparently not a means to do so. Judges aren't private arbiters and don't hear random cases at the request of companies
The crux of the matter is very simple: do not break Swiss law when using ProtonMail.
Okay, that's what I was wondering; I wasn't giving an option, just trying to figure out how a Swiss investigation resulted French police arresting someone. So thanks:)

That meteor equation isn't the right one to use. It's based on assumptions that don't apply here. It has to be re-derived, at a minimum, if it can even be repurposed.

Any dt equation like that should have some value of X_final-X_initial for any constants that change.

For rho, he plugs in rho_initial for rho_final. And rho_initial in space is zero, so it likely got dropped from the equation when it was derived.

That said, if it even survived the initial xray ablation, yeah, it probably burnt up before reaching space, or at least slowed down enough that it came back down.

In your job as an intermediary would it be reasonable to roll your own email servers? If done properly then you wouldn't have to trust anyone and could give instructions to your clients on how to produce and use their own private keys. Commercial mail providers don't offer this option for some (likely legal) reason, but if you're willing to share risk with the activists then I think it would be worthwhile.
We already have lot of infrastructure projects here in America. It's called roads. Endless ceaseless expansion of roads.

I think we need to stop mindlessly expand roads, and reconsider our infrastructure priority before we can start doing massive megaprojects.
I'm clinically diagnosed with ADD/ADHD and this has stopped me cold as a developer. It's been a very tough road for me and Iv'e been searching for work for over 2 years. Although I land a countless amount of interviews and second and third rounds, I'm never able to pass the coderpad or leetcode stage. This is because for me to work, I need to be in my own head and in my own space. I produce work but the idea of someone watching me over a computer screen while I work on some problem that is frankly much simpler then the things Iv'e had to tackle to build what I build - zaps my brain. And I just can't do anything about it. I'm in a technically hot market, frontend developer with years of angular and react. I made full-scale projects over years like gif.com.ai, qKast, LiveLink and 2fb.me and I'm even working on a new secret project in Jamstack. None of my actual work and what I know really matters to ultimately land the job. Richard Branson is my inspiration. I heard he started Virgin because he basically had to and maybe I must be an entrepreneur for the same reason. Because all I have is my projects and not a job that lets me do my best work.

Germany and Austria decided to split their common bidding zone in 2018 since

See above. In the past you had limited computer power now you have limited screen. And the new trend in UX design does not help either.
Ivermectin has a long history of use in humans, and if it acts as a protease inhibitor, it's not surprising it would have both anti-parasitic and anti-viral capabilities. That's probably why it was selected for experimental treatments in the first place. It's sad that this is being dumbed down and viciously politicized.
I thought Germany is buying a lot of energy from its neighbors to offset lack of storage, most of it dirty from what I remember. There were some numbers saying that by closing their nuclear plants they're actually doing quite a bit of harm if you see things at a larger scale.

Anyways, things may or may not work if other countries go into renewables. They may have different spike times - but I kinda doubt it. Most Europe wakes up and plugs its kettles at about the same time. And it's small enough that being windy or cloudy will happen in most of it, at least some of the time.
Is there reasonable suspicion to believe that the political split around it was/is intentional? To me, it seems as if the mainstream media outlets are needlessly ripping this drug and it's proponents.

I'm not sure if you're engaging a fallacy, trolling, or you just misread "not much storage needed" as "no need." The argument in the article about storage is literally that there is not much storage needed right now, though that will change in the future that is not a problem to solve right now.

Pretty sure it's CPU vs network not CPU vs storage. A fast internal network can be cheap compared to the cpu required to pack/unpack images on every download. I wonder if choosing a fast-to-decompress algorithm like zstd would change that.

Has anyone ever considered the effects of wind and solar power on the climate? If wind drives turbines, the energy is not available anymore to circulate air in the atmosphere. And if solar energy is absorbed to a high degree by solar panels, it won't heat up the earth as it used to do before.

So, it seems like a fallacy to think that increasing wind and solar power will have not influence the climate.

Is this line of thinking present in the current discussion, or is it not valid?

Benford's law (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benford%27s_law) is a pretty well-known test for fraudulent numbers. Of course, it's not infallible and (depending on the nature of the fake) it may be possible to tailor the numbers to 'pass' it, but it's a good heuristic. I'd be curious to know whether it would have detected this - and, if so, whether it was indeed used.

There is an interesting phenomenon of the US government starting to outsource what it would like to do over to willing big tech conglomerates and their captive audiences. Glenn Greenwald wrote an article about the same (https://greenwald.substack.com/p/congress-in-a-five-hour-hea...), showing how legislators are outsourcing government driven censorship to private companies in what seems like a loophole in how free speech is protected in US law. I worry that the coming normalization of IDs in the hands of big tech will come with similar breaches of trust.
Yes but they claim that the rise of bureaucracy and legitimate authority corresponds to the rise of the modern state, so I might be mistaken but it seemed to me that the intent was to contrast to earlier times than the 20th century?

I think the quoted statement is as true as investors in companies aren't owners of the underlying bank accounts and don't have any relationship with those banks.

It's true that an index fund investor doesn't get to vote in company elections, get company reports, etc. But the funds generally follow their policies and what not, so it provides a lower effort way to invest in a multitude of companies. The current regime of zero comissions and fractional share trading makes it more possible to self index, but it's a lot less work to buy shares in one of the many competing low-cost index funds.
Shenzhen and Dubai are key port cities, making them global hotspots for the flow of wealth and goods long before they became the modern cities of today. A city in the desert has none of those foundational benefits.
Yep. High efficiency is also the key to the crazy high performance we see in high end EVs these days. Going from 96% to 98% drivetrain efficiency only gives you 2% more battery life but it doubles your power output.
Disclaimer: Paying Protonmail customer

Their homepage says "By default, we do not keep any IP logs"

In 2021, any soft language like this should be a red flag for anyone who is against surveillance. Maybe in 2018 it was good enough. But in 2021 it's not.

Come on, Protonmail, you're supposed to be leading the way -- don't make me figure it out myself.

Replace immediately with "By default we don't log IP, but may be required to by local law enforcement. We recommend everyone connect through Protonmail through Tor. This month, 60% of our users connected through Tor".
One idea is an expansion of a law already on the books in many cities. When you create a new building / housing complex (which will be 100% in a new city), you require X% of units to be "affordable housing". I could see the city just increasing the required % and then giving tax credits to developers to offset the lost revenue to them. Given that this city would be built in stages, it will give them time to hone in on the desired percentage.
Replace "Swiss" with "US" and Protonmail with GMail and the sentence remains equally true. So I guess the question remains, what does Protonmail offer in terms of privacy that is better than GMail or Outlook, given that USA and Swiss are both adhere to democratic standards.
I am actually super familiar with Erlang and Elixir and I agree with your assessment, but with the caveat that if you go that route you end up with your own hand-rolled solution that won't be wire/API compatible with the most used OS projects. Or in the case of Erlang/Elixir you'll be running it in process! But it is great for that reason.
I would prefer if instead smartphone makers were at least forced to add a tool so users could wipe the memory and install a free bootloader.

And would be great if they had to also provide a free OS, like postmarketos, lineage, Debian or something like that. It could be very rudimentary without a GUI, just drivers for GPS and Wifi. And they would not have to provide even security updates for that. So I would think that many companies would also prefer that.
An old moral philosophy joke, I heard, is: utilitarianism is probably true, but it's probably best that nobody actually believes it.

According to the article, the officer directly asked him if he had a large amount of US currency in the car.

It is interesting that we use declarative SQL to query from the DB, but then when we get it into the app, we are manually doing further filter, mapping and joining of data. And then denormalizing it into a cache in a separate data store. Losing some benefits of the declarative nature of our queries. And this also applies to the frontend as well as the backend.
Depends- at some point it usually becomes cheaper to provide flood protection, if enough houses are close to one another.

Plus those grants are kinda complex to navigate, and you can't do it as an individual. It has to be part of a local communities overall flood mitigation / risk-reduction plan.
Is it really "disturbing" if it's maintained by mostly college students? If this was done by industry veterans I could understand your stance, but the way things are this feels uncalled for.

TL;DR They don’t log IP addresses. But they can be compelled to by Swiss law and they cannot NOT oblige as it’s trivial for them to do at various levels in their stack without even needing to modify their software. So they advise you to use their onion address if you need to anonymity.

Don’t know why they can’t plonk a tcpip->tor->ProtonMail reverse proxy in front of their infra offering this facility to every connecting client, and transparently. After all, their services (including ProtonVPN) already support tor to some extent.

The article doesn't pass the smell test for me.

Claim 1. Smaller SiC inverters enabled Tesla to implement sports-car-like streamlined design.

Traditional Si inverters are not that big. Certainly not big enough to single-handedly change the car design [1]

Claim 2. Hyundai will use SiC chips to increase its typical EV range by 5%.

The article claims that SiC will reduce wasted energy by half (or more). If we go by this figure, Hyundai's EVs need to waste 10% of its energy on Si chips. This seems quite high to me. No doubt there are losses in the motor, power electronics, and battery, but losing 10% of the EV's total energy on Si based chips seems incredibly inefficient to start with.

Today's money is not gold, livestock, gems, or slaves as it has been for thousands of years.

Fractional reserve banking (and the modern electronic economic system) virtualizes currency in a way that would be called a dupe bug in any MMORPG. In our case, it is just a feature of the design.

Local and State governments in the US are dependent on tax dollars (property, sales, excise) in addition to federal subsidies, but the federal government doesn't need taxpayers to fund most of its activities.

Accruing balances of paper is fine, the fiat money is imaginary and propped up by usage convention and some other, stronger things.

I think GP might refer to footnote 1 in the article:

> [...] one could technically replace fossil fuels with nuclear power. it would just be more expensive, more dangerous and slower - so probably only a few billion dead.

Personally, I think modern nuclear reactors (that are optimised for safety and efficiency, not for generating nuclear weapons material) and a tad more sensible regulation could make nuclear power safe and cheap, and turn nuclear (together with renewables, of course) into a formidable weapon against global warming.
Given that both of these situations draw energy from the atmosphere, they should be complementary to the goals of climate change mitigation.

I suppose 'covering the Sahara in solar panels' might need a little thought in regards to how it affects weather patterns across North Africa and Europe, but we're a wee way off from there yet.

The total amount of wind and solar in the world is several orders of magnitude higher than the amount that we would harness so this isn’t really a relevant consideration. It’s like asking if a piece of dust on an Olympic sprinter would slow them down due to air resistance.
