A big source of carbon pollution is lurking in basements and attics

Even if some of the sulfate will be reduced to sulfide, making the barium soluble, the sulfide will be oxidized again by the air after some time, immobilizing any remaining barium.

The barium that might have leached will be precipitated by the carbon dioxide from the air into barium carbonate.

Any form of soluble barium left in the environment will end soon as either barium sulfate or barium carbonate, which are insoluble, thus non-poisonous.

Barium is one of the least dangerous metals with high atomic number. You have to do something really stupid and deliberate with it in order to be able to poison anyone.

Why not just let private developers build apartments. They have the capital, know-how and will to do it. All that needs to happen is government and councils getting out of their way with zoning restrictions and the problem will fix itself as if by magic.

This comes up a lot. Sonic Pi is not a audio programming language. It's a composition language that is a front end to an audio language. Sonic Pi sends requests for audio to SuperCollider under the hood. Chuck is comparable to SuperCollider, Csound, RCMix, Faust, that sort of thing. Sonic Pi is comparable to Overtone, Common Music, my own Scheme for Max/Pd, that sort of thing.

The Hoftstadter/Dennett book The Mind's I from 1981 is relevant in another way: the introduction jumps you into this exact scenario of finding yourself on Mars via a "Teleclone Mark IV Transporter" and getting beamed back before your instance on Mars dies, and raising these questions about identity. https://themindi.blogspot.com/2007/02/introduction.html
If you factor that in, it's ~38,000€/apartment, you got an extra 0 mixed in somewhere. Those debts should've never existed in the first place. It's public housing, it should not make profits and rather break even.

Nowadays the investor makes huge profits despite the 60 year rental agreements the state negotiated for the renters and the required 12.50€/m² per year improvements. How was the state unable to break even? It's a mystery.

> There are those trying to publicly undermine the necessity and success of vaccinations. If we allow the defences of those who did the right thing and got vaccinated early to wane, just when new waves of infection are on the rise, we will not only be exposing them to danger, but providing fodder for the anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists. That is why it remains crucial that countries that had early and efficient vaccine roll-outs are able to deploy boosters, so the vaccines can both continue to work and be seen to be working.
I too consider the 4kxx releases to be the “canonical” OT now, but there’s such a huge gulf between Harmy’s and GOUT and whatever the f**k Lucasfilm did to the colors for the DVD that I’m willing to forgive its shortcomings.
You need to realign incentives. You can't do that now if homeowners and investors don't want to allow housing.

Resetting taxes to LVT means that improvements on land won't be disincentivized. Buying them out means they get a lot of cash and won't be so opposed to you lowering the value of their owned property.

Also, the government will be able to afford to focus on cheap housing, not what makes them the most money, since their focus isn't private profit.
SF is looking into buying unsold luxury condos from developers.
This hits the nail on the head. I agree ebay and Amazon are also sometimes the only option for finding obscure stuff, but most of the world now buys most of the mundane stuff from them, and then we act surprised when they become international empires, richer than countries, and more powerful than most of them, and only getting bigger and bigger. Society is simply not equipped to deal with the cascading effects of consumerism and 'free' market, be it privacy, data mining, social security, or the environment.

Also the moment all these copies are created their states would start diverging. It would not take long for them to become different people.

Tangent: this line of thinking in reflection has led me to become profoundly forgiving. Different paths could have led me to be homeless, in prison, an insufferable bastard, insane, and so on. Other paths may have made me a better person than I am now. Even worse it’s hard to tell what those paths might have been except far in retrospect.

When we judge others harshly we really are being profoundly small minded and provincial.

That's too dismissive take of the paper. The whole innovation here is the formulation of BaSO4 based acrylic paint that retains most of the reflective properties while being practical as a paint instead of using pure BaSO4 which would be too fragile.

Select quotes:

> Overall, the BaSO4 film reached a solar reflectance of 97.6% and an emissivity of 0.96 in the sky window (Figure 2b). Its solar reflectance is significantly higher than that of the commercial white paint (400 μm thickness), especially in the UV and NIR ranges. [...] For the BaSO4 paint, a standalone paint sample of 400 μm reached similar optical properties (98.1% solar reflectance, 0.95 sky window emissivity)

> To demonstrate the reliability of our BaSO4 paint, we conducted abrasion test, outdoor weathering, and viscosity characterizations. [...] The BaSO4 paint reached a wear index of 150, comparable to the commercial exterior paint with a wear index of 104. The weathering test was conducted by exposing the BaSO4 paint outdoors for 3 weeks (Figure 4b). The solar reflectance remained the same within the experimental uncertainty.

If you make residential investment more expensive (through taxes), you will have less interested investors. This reduces the number of interested parties for home ownership, which means that the remaining parties (i.e. owner occupiers) pay cheaper prices.

Taxes are often used to discourage behaviour society believes to have negative externalities. For example: tobacco excise taxes; and also in the other direction (e.g. concessions for long term capital gains; which is supposed to encourage 'investment').

(Not to mention the other factories around.)

There is a discussion in Prague about moving some big shopping centers from the wider center to the outskirts and using the freed land for construction. But everything takes long in our state of bureaucracy.

In order to really reach people with vision issues, it seems like places like Bank of America (just an example) need to do a good job of Alexa skills. Dunno how you deal with security.

As a side note, it's funny how absurd online banking websites are. It's a thing that would be well served by simple/secure pure text interfaces but that certainly isn't what you get.

You're asking the wrong question...

NFTs won't work with DRM, because with DRM you need to encrypt the content and then decrypt it to view it. But you cannot put the decryption key in the NFT, because everything on the blockchain is public. If you put the decryption key with the NFT, everyone will have it.

So you will still need some kind of centralized system where you will issue the decryption keys to your viewers, and probably the easiest way to track subscriptions and keys is to use a database like MySQL.

(Btw, I do not like DRM at all)

I’ve noticed this same dynamic with regard to Rich Hickey’s “Simple made easy”. At the end of the talk he mentions concrete suggestions and examples of simplicity vs complexity. I noticed people who would always bring up this talk would also continue to do the things he mentions as examples of complexity.

Talking the talk and walking the walk will always be two separate things.

This has the added benefit that the cost of subsidy of very transparent and it provides a nice incentive to increase housing supply.
I've extensive experience with both an much prefer the "explicit error handling control flow" in Rust/Haskell/Elm/Kotlin/ReScript

How explicit are those languages really, though?

Take Haskell, for example. It’s common to indicate potential failures by having a function return Either/Maybe. Those are monadic, with their join behaviour propagating the Left/Nothing result that conventionally represents the failure case(s). It’s idiomatic to write a function that calls a series of potentially failing functions and not examine the result of each call immediately. Instead, you defer any handling of failures to the end of the chain or even pass the result back to the calling function via another Either/Maybe.

What you’re not doing in any of those alternatives is explicitly checking the return value after each function call and handling any failure immediately right in the middle of your default execution path. So is this really much more explicit than exceptions? The possible failure modes for each function are encoded in its type, but there are implementations of exceptions that also have that property, so that’s not really a point in favour of either side. The code calling the functions is still highlighting the default execution path and shifting the recovery from any other cases elsewhere.

As another example, Rust follows an analogous convention with functions returning Option/Result to indicate potential failure modes, but has try! and then added the ? operator to propagate errors with minimal extra code instead of writing all the boilerplate manually each time. This is arguably more explicit when calling those functions, since at least any function that can fail needs to be called with ? (or something more obvious) to handle the result, but fundamentally the convention is still trying to minimise clutter in the default execution path and delegate error handling responsibilities to code somewhere else, and it still doesn’t indicate anything more explicit about what the potential failure modes for each function are at the place where that function is called.
Let's not forget the Liberal Party recently throwing out the fairly-newly-enacted loan suitability consumer protection laws, so that the mortgage brokers could reduce compliance and go back to the boomtime days of being the legal human shields (plausible deniability buffer) for the banks to allow larger and larger liar loans, which are 1 in 3
source... abc.net.au and anectodally, I subleased my office from a mortgage broker for years, saw how much they fiddled the figures for people to get MASSIVE loans they will never pay off.

I also recoded a lot of their compliance CRM for them when these now-discarded consumer protection laws first came into effect..

Farther north in Ontario, the heating season is way longer than the cooling one, so it does kind of make sense to optimize for heat retention.

The other side is that having a roof which warms itself in winter is better for reducing snow accumulation. Though that’s also less of a consideration for a slippery metal roof.

How to set your Mac to copy and paste unformatted text by default
This is a great response. I often describe this as the 'video game tech tree' problem. It is very easy to know where to put time/resources when you know what the next step of the tech tree is and how it will help solve problems. At the time it is far more difficult to know which of the many possible options will result in a tool/outcome that will be the solution to the current problems.
While we're picking nits, whether a pair of words used as a single lexeme should be hyphenated depends on context and style standards. For example, Apple's style standards for technical publications in the 1980s and 1990s dictated that two words treated together as a modifier (an adjective or adverb) of some other lexeme should be hyphenated. That's how "de facto" is used in the OP's text.

"De facto" is Latin for "in fact", or "as a matter of fact", and it retains that meaning as an English phrase. That works perfectly well modifying "emperor of tech". Of course you might not agree that Apple is the de-facto (or "de facto") emperor of tech, but that's a separate question from whether the usage is allowable.

The housing market is complex, but one point I would like to make, is that if there is now a (global?) opportunity to borrow capital, buy houses on a mass scale and rent them out, that implies to me that there is a failure in mortgage market - families want housing in a location, it is possible to borrow money and buy them, but those families don't have access to that monet.

This implies

a) inequality in wealth and incomes
b) failure to change mortgage market to account for higher risk in harder to reach areas (this is what savings and loans were literally made for)
c) errr
d) that's it.
I bought one and rode it for a while. Honestly, it’s quite hard to learn, tiring on the legs, and I would say it felt strictly less fun, less safe, and less useful compared to the two wheel scooters.

I haven’t tried a “one wheel” but I think it may be better due to its “snowboard stance” rather than the ankle clench you have to use to ride a EUC.

As a novelty, sure, I’m glad I tried it, but ultimately I sold it and strongly prefer eBikes and eScooters.
On 3, something you've set as "private" being brought up in a public setting is surprising. You made it someway so that others couldn't see it, so it seems rational to assume it would be considered sensitive information.

If nothing else, giving the option to disable this on private lists would be nice.
The fundamental point here is that the scale that you're looking at on a cellular level is highly chaotic. The poster above was stating that you should look for order, but as I mentioned that's exactly what we've been doing for thousands of years! We already look at cells, and expect order. It's a totally different viewpoint to expect chaos, and what TFA states is that it's a better and more accurate view when dealing with cellular microbiology.

Hyperbole. This is a thread about a web framework, not truth and justice. The negative tone used is totally inappropriate to a conversation about web frameworks.

The problem is councils and governments that are controlled by homeowners who vote in NIMBY restrictions. The reason there aren't apartments going up everywhere is that it's literally illegal to do it, not that a developer is finding it difficult to find eight adjacent single detached homes to buy up in one go.

You'd be better off taking advice from Kim Kardashian. Kim's marketing and promotion with curated, staged, and edited photos of herself in bikinis is more honest than what these "prominent people in the Tesla community" (whatever that means) are doing.
