> Sure, but aren't fossil fuels also subsidized?

Yes, that has to do nothing with my point.

> Haven't the costs been reduced due to the economies of scale and time?

That's a sunken cost fallacy. What we have already spent doesn't matter. What matters is what we choose today, and what consequences does it bring.

> Are the environmental downsides not considered part of the cost?

Off course, that's the main issue. Environmental costs are gigantic, but they are also far into the future.

> renewables are still more expensive, but are they really doomed to trap more people in poverty?

Anything that hampers growth will have massive consequences on the long run. Higher energy prices will heavily reduce growth, even if we assume that there's margin for efficiency to be gained from economies of scale and technology improvements.

> Couldn't one argue that the unbalanced economic systems are the primary thing that traps people in poverty and the cost of energy is simply a minor factor?

You could argue the first one if you'd like, I won't because it would be getting off topic. As for the second, the cost of energy is a massive factor into the economy, because energy underpins anything we do. The only real solution we've found to poverty is growth. The worlds wealth follows an exponential, tampering with the base has serious implications when you are looking at climatic timescales.

> There are certainly countries with low energy costs and high poverty rates.

Let me try to explain in another way.
We are at a crossroads. Whatever our past is, our current situation, it's no matter now, that's behind us. We can choose path A, or path B.

Path A (continue to use natural gas) keeps us going. We know that at some point we'll have to deal with the consequences of climate change, but we can modulate our use, and take our time. We are making the future costs higher, there's no doubt about that, but we might be better equipped to switch to renewables in 40 years. There's no reason to rush the switch.

Path B (completely switching to renewables now). This will limit our growth for sure. It will also require us to sort out now how best to handle the transition, because rising prices with our current system will leave a lot of people without heating in the winter, or unable to use appliances like dishwashers (I'm in Spain, our energy cost has been rising constantly, we are seeing this happening). We will need to change a lot in very short time. Our future climate costs will be lower.

In some sense, by choosing path A, we are betting that we will find better solutions at some point in the future. If we choose path B but if some new amazing renewable technology appears in say, 75 years, we've made a huge mistake.
I’m guessing at least part of the goal is OFAC compliance but this list seems to go far beyond OFAC sanctions.
> Better math and even computation doesn't necessarily help in some cases

It is my impression that, at least on the topic of climate modelling, climate change denialism (which, frankly, is less and less common among educated population) was sustained by the rhetoric about models not being certain about linking anthropic change and its effects.

So at least here I see that better understanding (accuracy/reliability) about the climate system (which the azimuth group claims to have contributed to, if I remember correctly) might have a direct effect on, at least, social perception of the uncertainty surrounding science...

Personal pet peeve:

Your high school is not a covered entity and is not acting as a business associate of a covered entity. HIPAA does not apply. They are free to keep a plaintext file with your name, nut allergies, COVID vaccination status, and anything else they want to put in there - without HIPAA entering into the discussion.

FERPA could apply, but I don't know much about that.

That's what you'd have to show (prove the negative) to disprove what unethical_ban is saying (that it is spying on you).

All any of the people claiming that discord is spying on you need to do is capture one packet going out that does have that sort of information, or find one piece of code in the client that supports doing so. That is the part that I think would be relatively easy given that it's primarily just a gob of javascript in a chromeless browser.
You don't need a proxy; Postfix can rate-limit natively. Plugins, "milters" and stuff inherited from Sendmail; and socket-level filters like Spamassassin, provide pretty-much comprehensive control.

I agree that Postfix config is confusing. It beats the bejabers out of Sendmail config, but that's whataboutism.

Dovecot config isn't that hard, unless you're trying to do hard stuff. Even then, your site config is an overlay on the default config, which should be what you get with your distro. The site-specific stuff is usually ony a couple of dozen lines.

I expect you could also rig Postfix as a rate-limiting front-end for some inferior MTA :-)

[Edit: oh - and Postfix/Dovecot doesn't need a machine to itself, if you're dealing with less than 20-or-so accounts, and you haven't set up a bot to spam the MTA.

Actually, I think there are exactly zero circumstances in which a mailserver shouldn't be kicked-off the machine, in favour of a higher-priority job - email is a best-efforts, store-and-forward system]
I don't have it handy but with template literal types I was able to have a type of "stripped strings" (that is, strings without leading or trailing whitespace) that seemed surprisingly usable - string literals would match (or not, as appropriate) with no boilerplate, while dynamic strings would need to be fed to a cleaning function.

I never put it in production, partially because of concerns over maintainability but far more because I had no need for it.

Well, _the Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy_ was published 42 years ago today, and it still rings true. To quote Chapter 3 of the Guide:

"You've had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it's far too late to start making a fuss about it now."

ZFS has been included in Ubuntu since 16.04. Oracle has known and has had five years to raise an objection. It has not done so. It is now too late, by the principle of laches.

It may try, of course, but the lawsuit should be pretty brief because the defense is right there: why didn't Oracle file a complaint in 2016?
Only if you count all natural looking data of which there is way more than you could possibly imagine.

It is of course likely that humanity hasn't yet created more than 2^100 (~10^30) files, so in theory given a registry of all files in existence you might be able to identify it by its hash. However while this is simple it's definitely not easy.

Odd and inaccurate take. Some or many services have admin control. But it doesn't matter.

This isn't really predictive of the future though. So far we 've had very good luck that all the catastrophic failures of nuclear have resulted in minimal loss of life.

The idea is that society is most assured to go into a wall, so constraints are about to pop up more and more, so starting to place items / buffers here and there, ready to receive newly "convinced" people could prove beneficial.

Every district is different, heck -- every school within a district can be different in extreme discipline like this. Frankly, the size of his district represented a lot of risk; those often have the policies with the least wiggle-room -- like "Weekend Jail for Sharing a WiFi password" (insane).

At the school my child attends, I am confident he would have ended up with a pat on the back if the circumstances were similar. I can't speak for the district -- I'd be willing to bet that'd be very risky. At the school I had once attended, I'd expect the entire district would behave similarly. I'm sure there were people within the district administration that wanted to throw the book at the kids involved.

Here's the thing for those people: the last thing a school district wants is to become national news for punishing a bunch of kids who the evening news can make out to look like "Geniuses". Since nothing failed in their plan -- that's crazy important -- there would be very few ways to frame the story that makes the administration look like anything but bullies, and many will frame them as "petty bullies". I have a friend I went to High School with who is now a High School principal. He's still "that guy I went to High School with." I have no doubt he would have given the kids an award privately, if not publicly.

It's sad that some public school districts are using discipline approaches you'd expect to see in prisons, rather than a school, and I'm sure in certain places in the country, that might be a necessity. Context matters, too -- were these kids who were constantly pulling pranks like this, had been talked to in the past/impacted things in the past, etc, I'd expect a harsh response: "Yes, we get it, you're smart, stop breaking things already, read the horrors of the 1986 CFAA because that's coming if it happens again." I'm guessing these were otherwise good students.

It's impossible to adequately talk about private insurance in the UK: you still have to go to your GP and if the state won't give the service (e.g. MRI scan) fast enough, only and only then the private insurance would step in.. I can't comment on the US insurance but I have a feeling it's quite different.
>If an owner of a smart contract publishes a new change, nodes will mindlessly run it.

Utter nonsense, contracts can be both immutable and mutable. There's inbuilt owner capability, code has to explicitly implement upgrade capability. All nodes do is run code.

Uniswap for example has no upgrade capability.
This growth fallacy is the main thing driving so much environmental destruction in the first place. Most effort is being wasted on churn rather than creating advancement, and this is increasing as time goes on (fake jobs). Until we reprioritize the economy to make efficiency gains translate into leisure gains, talking about "growth" is just cover for business as usual.

Yes, you "can" somehow emulate it with async generators everywhere but your js code will look more like brainfuck than js.

Precisely! My point is that my (or your) grandparents/parents could have held the same sentiments you are holding now. And they would have been wrong.

> I'm thinking about 100-200 years down the line

Your children will not be alive in 100-200 years so your point is also moot.

Unfortunately, I believe you believe what you are saying will come to pass and it will be "society collapsing". I don't. No point in arguing about it any further. Message me in 100-200 years to say "I told you so".
I switched to /e/ rather recently, and it also just happen that I am in the process of switching banks, which means I currently have two banking apps on my phone.

Both are rather strict on having a clean, non rooted, non modified phone. Currently, they both work without any caveats, but I had to install magisk, add them to magisk hide, and use the magisk renaming feature to have them work.

The point is that a three layer network can approximate any function, and back propagation can be used to train it to do so. You could train a 3 layer net to do imagenet, I think it was Minsky that showed the first bit of that in "Perceptrons", and Hinton showed it in his backprop paper with Rumelheart (?) but I can't be arsed to look it up, someone will pop up and show that it was actually Leonardo Da Vinci or that German fella who has apparently invented everything ever and never tires of telling everyone about it no matter how hard we all ignore him.

However, clever people (Hinton, Lecun, others v.smart and determined and all should get a lot of credit) invented some tricks to train networks faster (and carefully showed that they really worked, despite what people said about them, especially people at ICML), and computers got many faster, and it became obvious (which it was to anyone who both could do the sums and had the imagination to think about it - which I didn't, at all, sad for me) that broad networks are much much slower to train than deep networks for an equivalent number of neurons (if you use tricks like regularization and dropout) and this makes large deep networks feasible.

I did play with deep networks in like 1994, because I wrote a C program to let me write neural networks - and I could do anything I liked with it on my Sun workstation and my supervisors had no idea about anything. However, I set this "deep" network off training to see what would happen and went to the pub. When I came back I interrupted it and looked at the model file to figure out how much the parameters had changed since initialization (I didn't have any of the good small value initialization stuff, I think I set them to 0) and they had changed so little that I did some sums and decided that the model would not be finished training before I finished grad school if I finished at all.

So, I went off and built various types of booster on an MPI network that most of my colleagues didn't realize was running on their nice Sun workstations instead. Talking to other people in pubs at conferences has since convinced me that most of the grad students working on ML in the 90's did the same thing.

This is generally true, but the CFAA is obviously not violated by access which is authorised. In this case, you could simply draw up a pentest agreement and get them to say any such activity would be authorised.

Yeah... nice thesis, just it is not right.

The Romans won against Carthage, even though they had no navy (apart some Liburnian ships copied from the Illyrians), and had to build it by scratch.

They actually won with no true experience.

Carthage was a mercantile navy power, while Rome was a land power at the time. The exact scenario repeated in the battle of Lepanto, but this time the navy power won. (the Ottomans being the land super power of the time, and Venice a mercantile navy power).
