Because the sheriff runs unopposed because only credentialed LEOs can run for sheriff in CA. And then the sheriffs have a habit of resigning in office and appointing an heir (i.e. incumbent). Our upcoming election in 2022 is the first competitive election in about 50 years.

And if you look at the vote totals, most people under vote on the sheriffs office (i.e. people just leave it blank or write in dumb stuff like “deez nutz.”)
Another problem with fly ash in Europe is that a number of countries have no coal fired power stations to produce it or are closing down what they do have. So it is a declining resource anyway.
I think an interesting advantage of Grain is that it not only compiles to wasm but is wasm-first.

Bringing existing languages to wasm is incredibly important, and probably that is 99% of wasm today. But a new wasm-first language that is designed specifically for wasm can do some things better.

For example, it is much easier to get tiny wasm files from a wasm-first language if it was designed for that.

Another example is wasm GC. The current proposal is making good progress but the type system will never be "perfect" for all languages (there will be extra casts, for example). A wasm-first language could (once wasm GC stabilizes) tailor itself to that for optimal results.

You won't need to rewrite into async model, because project Loom will introduce virtual threads. That means your sync code will look exactly the same, but will have scalability of async.
yeah, and even then, to call Socrates a mouthpiece character means you probably didn't understand Plato. Plato uses Socrates to cause trouble at least as much as he does to express verbatim opinions. probably a lot, lot more.

the best way to understand Socrates, in Plato, is not to say "if Socrates said it, Plato meant it," but instead to ask "why is the sarcastic questioner who never means what he says attacking this particular line of reasoning?"

which brings us to the central premise: would Plato tweet? Plato wrote a book where Socrates explained that inventing writing was a dangerous thing which would destroy human memory. of course he would tweet. he would probably tweet that Socrates told him tweeting was a bad idea.
I had this problem with mt desktop PC, which would randomly wake up from hibernation in the middle of the night. My computer was in my bedroom, so this was very much a problem since the bright screen would always wake me up. I couldn't even shut off the screen since it didn't have a power button (Apple Thunderbolt display).

My solution was to reach around to the back of the tower and cycle the PSU power switch after hibernating the PC, every time.
You still don’t know if they’re feeding your data to an intelligence agency or data broker.

For example, why wouldn’t China run a few top VPN companies — or at least compromise them? The benefit would outweigh the costs. So they shield you from piracy lawsuits and the like, they gain data to blackmail and compromise key figures later on.
Right, but who would want to be on the other side of that trade? You're telling me that if I have something worth $0 and you have something of value, you'd want to make that trade with me?
Are you suggesting your statement is sarcasm?
Curiously, once again, today's update to the page where CDC lists numbers of hospitalizations/deaths from COVID19 among those fully vaccinated against COVID19 has not occurred yet[1].

Maybe it will come, maybe it won't. Back in August, they postponed the update to occur after the approval of Pfizer's vaccine was announced. Today, the head of CDC overruled the advisory panel to recommend boosters[3].

I did teach "Economics of Regulation" for a bunch of semesters, and, this is a textbook example of regulatory capture.

If you are curious, currently, the rate of known cases of hospitalization _from_ COVID19 among the fully vaccinated stands at 5.1/100,000, seemingly headed for the neighborhood of 1/10,000.

Imagine a world in which 1/20,000 people fully vaccinated against measles could expect to be hospitalized with measles or 1/100,000 could expect to die.

In 2018, there were a total of 337 _cases_ (no breakdown of deaths/hospitalizations in the reference source) of measles in among U.S. residents. Only 42 of them were vaccinated.[4,5]

In 2019, there were only 121 measles cases among the vaccinated population.

No deaths from measles as far as I can see. Now, that's a vaccine that protects you and others. Please do not skip MMR.

That's a reasonable question. First - my understanding is that we're expected to repost headlines verbatim, even if they kind of suck. It's not some unbreakable rule but it's an objective we should commit to.

Past that, I offer that headlines that will lead the public we have toward thoughtful, measured, conclusions (that reflect where we actually are) - this would seem to be our best goal.
Vxfs remote ? It was local on HP-UX.
The ISS uses rechargeable zeolite beds for CO2 scrubbing, they don't need a new one frequently, and the fact that we shipped a new one is coincidence.

Zeolite is a mineral, you get a bunch of small pellets of it in a bed, and run air over it while cooling it. The CO2 (and H2O) stick to it while everything else goes over it. Once you're at capacity you vent it to space and heat it, the CO2 (and H2O) leave the bed (into space) and recharge it for the next cycle. Repeat forever.

The consumables here are the small amount of gasses sent overboard, and energy, nothing else.

(And you use multiple of these beds because capturing CO2 is exothermic, and venting CO2 is endothermic, so you want to run a heat exchanger between the two beds in opposite cycles to minimize energy usage)
Ok, so there doesn't seem to be any benefit to this "alliance", so I am personally not sure why anyone is a part of it, much less us ;P... but like, frankly, "to be real about this" for a moment, the Sentinel community is so actively hostile--in a kind of nasty "personal" way that involves stuff like them "bullying" (their term) people who work at Orchid or posting memes constantly of stuff like Sentinel users as soldiers marching through the bloody carcasses of dead Orchid defenders (somewhat hilariously to me one of their favorite images for this is a specific re-drawn painting that I can't imagine they know the origin of, as I would not want to be affiliated with those particular attackers)... and like, this is in addition to adamantly insisting false things about our project (such as that we somehow aren't open source?! we literally do all our development in public and have GitHub CI doing reproducible builds of all of our assets!)--that there is very little interest in having any involvement with them (particularly so given the lack of any real benefit to this alliance).
Are topic models reliable or useful?
> Given that E2E tests should run in an environment that is more controlled than production, if you can't get an e2e test to perform reliably then it's a strong indication that your system won't perform reliably in production.

"Reliably" isn't a binary indicator, but a spectrum of how frequently certain classes of bugs may appear in a system.

In the example that you were mentioning, it would appear that the amount of effort needed to maintain the e2e test suite was simply not worth it. How many man-hours were spent by your manager and staff ignoring the test suite? How critical was the bug (it would appear not much)? How much effort would have to be dedicated to get the e2e suite working will that won't be spent doing other classes of tests or feature development?

I'm not saying a well-maintained e2e suite doesn't work well or help to catch a lot of interesting production bugs. But I am saying that I think that for the vast majority of systems it's just not a good use of your time. Save your efforts and put more thought into the system design to avoid certain theoretical classes of errors and devote the rest of your time to better integration tests and that will likely serve more orgs better.
Okay, so far you've linked Adrian Zenz and Raytheon-mouthpiece ASPI.

I get that blue hydrogen might be a controversial topic but isn't there at least a case to make for green hydrogen in some sectors that might be hard to electrify such as aviation? Or even as an alternative storage solution since the effort to scale up nuclear seems pretty much dead in the water.

I know it is a long shot: it is not yet competitive, there are still very few electrolyzers but some part of the world such as Europe seems pretty committed to try to make it work.
The title needs to be changed. Because this isn't about climate change, and the research, contents of the article, and current article title are clear on that.

This is about space exploration. Literally it is about how to make fuel on Mars so that we can make the round trip without having to deliver fuel so we can make it back.

And, sorry, but there is no way with current technology to launch significant payloads into space using electric.
I'm glad you shared this, thanks. Keep sharing it!

They're terrified of losing their blank check to behave this way. The more that people suspect that police are extremely dangerous and stop giving them the benefit of the doubt, the more chance we have of changing how they operate.

When I moved to the US, a friend's dad, a high-powered attorney (and former prosecutor) in our region, told a group of us: "don't ever talk to a police officer unless you absolutely have to. They can make your life hell for any reason they want, or no reason, and they'll always get away with it."

Coming from a country where the cops were much, much less violent and much more trusted, this was shocking to me. But that was a long time ago now and I can't honestly say the advice has served me poorly.
It’s easy to show that something is incorrect, because it doesn’t meet the base requirements of the question posed, or correct because it does.

It’s difficult to show a correct answer is good, or the best, for the question. Many answers you find on SO both provide a correct answer, as well as try to defend against and call out potential pitfalls and assumptions. Many answers also achieve at best “technically correct”, giving something that works, but slow, error-prone, inelegant, and really just a Bad Idea.

Technically correct is mostly a waste of time, unless nothing better exists. If this user is just technically correct (he’s probably not constantly wrong because he has more points than answers), then he’s ultimately not much better than your regular shitposter.
Yeah, web developers need to realize that they put captchas even where not needed, and Google takes advantage of that.

It can make sort of sense for applications for which the energy density of the fuel (like for airplanes or rockets) matters a lot. The energy density of current generation lithium ion batteries is insufficient to allow for long-range flights. Synthetic fuels could allow planes to still travel around the world while being effectively net zero emitters because the CO_2 was harvested from the atmosphere (or another, unavoidable CO_2 source). The production of the fuel might be inefficient but at least it would work.

Never heard of it. They don't seem to be very active in computer science. Waterloo, from my understanding, is a giant undergrad school. Grad students are outnumbered 6x by undergrads (that's a red flag). Only Lab I keep hearing about is the MILA [1]

We'll just use that fuel to make plastic, and scatter it all over the surface of the planet. So it's really just a continuation of the ad hoc sequestration program already under way.
> I've just heard every community described as 'toxic' and honestly 9/10 times I disagree.

That's pretty consistent with the "toxic community" hypothesis. I.e., people who are attracted to toxic communities think that others are too soft/welcoming, tolerate too much "hand holding", etc.
What happens when the police/sheriff uses their power to investigate/harass the people on those oversight agencies as described in the article?
The problem is that this requires reversing entropy. Turning CO2 into something that can burn into CO2 requires more energy than you get back while burning it, even in an optimal engine. This is true if humans reverse entropy or if trees do it.

Many would instinctively want to use a CC BY-NC license because of an unfounded fear of volunteering time to find out later that someone else is collecting a reward. There are many good reasons for avoiding CC NC (and even CC BY) licenses and choosing the least restrictive license possible. There is a good write up on Wikimedia's decision to prohibit CC NC licenses at [3] that explains some of the reasons.

The majority of sites relying on volunteer contributions including Hacker News, Experts Exchange, Quora, Reddit, social media sites, Flickr (mostly), etc do not enforce copyleft licensing and contributions made to these sites could easily be lost forever. Wikipedia and StackOverflow including their volunteers likely wouldn't have enjoyed the same level of success if they used or allowed CC NC (or more restrictive) licensing.

That's not what it's saying. They didn't say law enforcement activities didn't exist, they said a violation of the law may not exist.

In the case of literally any law enforcement activity, information is collected before law enforcement can come to any conclusion whether or not a law was broken.

The world is becoming and increasingly complex place and the amount of available information overwhelms the human mind. Instead of spending hundreds of hours researching a single topic, thinking through the points from different perspectives and context switching, it's easier to use mental models to take short cuts. The electricity excuse results from taking a few short cuts.

It's like saying in the 90's that electric cars will never catch on. The oil and gas companies will crush them before they even get started. Or an app that allows you to hail a car? Taxi companies are one of the most corrupt areas with the biggest lobbyists, you would have to be a total moron to try that. A cryptocurrency exchange in the US? Good luck keeping your bank accounts open.

Electricity consumption is a moot point. Bitcoin is here to stay.

There's more than one actual title. The submitter used the HTML doc title, which is a legit choice, and they probably picked it on the grounds that it was more substantive/less baity.

Since the climate change mention has turned out to be baity in its own right, I took that bit out above.

Tesla Is Getting Sneaky Now That the Feds Are Watching
In the article, the idea was to store excess green electricity (from solar/wind farms for example) by capturing CO2 that is generated from fossil fuels. I do agree that claiming it will address climate change is a bit of a stretch, since that CO2 is still going back into the environment when the methane is used, but it does mean getting more energy per unit of CO2.
Reading the article beyond the title reveals that this decision was engineering driven, measured and they ended up with a simpler, disentangled solution, by separating contracts that verify compatible schemas on one side and acceptance tests on the other side.
Yet another reason to dislike Microsoft Windows.
I understand that, I am likening it to purchasing a DVD of a game, which is something that used to happen. Maybe not in the NBA, but in soccer, some clubs do put out DVDs of famous victories.

I think it is, just like I would e.g. characterize an article that sources Mike Pompeo as a neutral expert on Iran as hilariously unserious.
Was in a similar situation, and the VP of engineering banned the practice of rerunning failed tests, so flaky tests caused everybody pain. In less than 8 weeks the false positive rate dropped by about 3 orders of magnitude. There's a strong tendency to treat tests as a hurdle to get over rather than to treat them as first-class part of the development process.
Most likely the fact that it appeared here caused someone to look at it, realize that the title didn't match the contents, and hurry to change it.

It's a fair point, which shows the underlying problem with e2e: if you don't have a BDFL who's willing to fight on this hill, the system will eventually break down. This implies a huge amount of constant friction that I don't believe is sustainable over the long term.

Most engineering organizations don't have "excellent" leadership, and so most orgs are well served by having team dynamics such that they don't depend on that. A bunch of additional integration tests and a bit of formalization of the difficult parts that e2e tests (the sort of async message-passing stuff that has unpredictable bounds) seems like a far better alternative for most orgs.
Are you a scientist?

I was. I can tell you that all of those quotes require a great deal of inspection and you cannot take them at face value.

At the very least, most scientists speak ultra-confidently about this beliefs (beyond their own internal level of confidence) because they've learned to use narrative techniques to make their beliefs sound true.

Any scientist who is actively speculating that this funding is "strong evidence" rather than saying "it's logically consistent and seems more than coincidental" is just wrong. That's a big mistake a lot of the early folks who claiimed it was human engineered made. The evidence is not strong, but not strong enough to convince a rational person.

I see. The Ph.D. route is not an easy one, and you should think carefully whether it is what you really want. However I would not assume that less-than-perfect grades are an insurmountable barrier. More importantly, you must be persistent and resourceful.

Between McGill and UdeM, there are probably a half-dozen professors working on systems, formal reasoning, and type theory in Montreal. There are others at UofT, Waterloo and UBC. If your interests align maybe reach out to see if they are taking new students?

Yes it is. Async is avoid blocking operations, whether it's IO-bound or CPU-bound. There are plenty of cases where computation can be offloaded to async tasks (eg: keeping the UI responsive).
