Even when he doesn't put his mind to it, you're still getting the real deal, unlike with most other presenters where you're getting a facade with nothing behind it. That's valuable, and instantly recognizable, if one cares to see it.
When people with money start to pay for fake vaccine certificates is the time for majority to ask why they pay for not getting something, that is given for free.
Or like - everyone should take our vaccine - me:no i did't took it yet :),
Like - Coke is a poison to sell, not to take. - guess who's remembered for saying that.
To put this into perspective as a matter of “payment”, the US uses ~20 million barrels of oil PER DAY.

This amount is peanuts, despite the potential environmental impact.
But it's bad advice compared to a random selection because these are all numbers with meaning for people. Many people who enter lotteries use meaningful numbers such as days of birth. So 1 2 3 4 5 6 is just as likely as any set of numbers to come up but if you do win you're more likely to be sharing the jackpot with other people who chose the same set.
Huh. There's a lot bands in the "Hate" section. Looking up the various names I'm finding various death metal and black metal bands. I can't help but wonder how many of those bands on are on that list because someone at Facebook took heavy metal imagery and lyrical themes too seriously and literally.

More Edit: Turns out I picked a bad example. I missed reference to a name collision with an actual National Socialist band using the original name. The original edit is below.

Edit: Figured I should support my thesis with an example.

Let us take the band Sturmtruppen, from the Hate section of the linked article. From Encyclopaedia Metallum[1][2], they are a Black/Death metal band with themes of war and genocide. Per and interview referenced on their Encyclopedia Metallum page, their choice of those themes is not to glorify them, but to have something evil sounding enough to fit the style of music.

I am not saying that all the listed bands don't belong there. I know that actual neo nazi bands that take their imagery and themes seriously are a real thing that exist. But I do suspect at least some bands are on that list because of imagery and lyrical themes alone.

If you claim that gravity does not exist, then turn around and say that the effect we call "gravity" accelerates matter at 9.8 meters per second per second.

Then you go and claim that magnetism does not exist, I will probably not believe you.
Carlsbad stores waste from production of nuclear weapons, among other things, and is the only facility in the US tasked with storage of so-called "transuranic waste". There are different classifications for nuclear waste, and each warrants different handling as you might imagine.

The Yucca Mountain site is 50 meters underground, which is about 164 feet. That's deep enough to not disturb things on the surface if in a geologically stable area.

You can see Yucca in on the shallow-side of things for many countries[1].

Perhaps I overspoke when I alleged many are deep in the US. The US is very spread out, and it seems going 200+ meters below the surface wasn't warranted except for the highest classifications of waste.

However, in a more densely populated nation, there is no hurdle to building deep repositories, except politics.

This internet connection check actually caused problems for us when we started having users in China on android. Our code was checking for a connection before transmitting data and android thought the device was disconnected due to the great firewall. I think there’s just a hack around it for now that disabled the android connection check for those users.
Kind words, but possibly too late, and they won't change anyones mind. Authorities have forfeited public trust by co-ordinating to decieve people, censor them, and then reward others who publicly expressed their contempt for their fellow citizens, just to maintain the leverage. I do not see the path to reconciliation yet. Destroying millions of businesses and then doubling down by attacking guarantees of freedoms (speech, movement, association, bodily integrity, etc.) will not be remembered as having been justified or proportionate.

People without a lot of dignity and integrity have underestimated what the impact of their deception has been, because, really, I don't think they were equipped to apprehend it. I know some of them personally, and they became strident promoters of narrative-right-or-wrong because of their impostor syndromes, anxiety, depression, and self loathing. They thought that by renouncing their remaining dignity and denouncing their neighbours, they could find redemption in compliance.

What surprises me most is that the rhetoric in public forums has not spilled over into significant coordinated mutual violence yet. It's all still in the provocateur stage. Whether that materializes as a pervasive low-level long term conflict over decades like The Troubles in Ireland, or accelerated conflict like that which occurred in Bosnia in the 90s, the inflection point on the path toward outcomes analogous to those appears to have already passed and I believe we're into a period of managing consequences.

At this point, the only meaningful action is to find a way to mitigate the effects of western civil conflict, and then by extension, the total world war that results as other countries rush into the power vaccuum western domestic instability creates. Maybe the article recognizing the deception will give some of these people an out where there is still a way to turn it around, but if I were a betting man, I'd find a way to get long potable water.

Dark times.
Isn't Microsoft's backward-compatibility widely considered a reason for their overwhelming share of the PC market? You get more developers and more useful programs when people don't have to rewrite them for the new hotness every year.
Sure, but aren't fossil fuels also subsidized? Haven't the costs been reduced due to the economies of scale and time? Are the environmental downsides not considered part of the cost?

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

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? There are certainly countries with low energy costs and high poverty rates.
He's also wrong about there being a water *shortage* in California. There is water *diversion*, designed by environmentalists to save animals, that strips farmers of water.
They drop the price and/or offer bundles. They can even release a "preliminary price roadmap" for customers, stating explicitly that the price will drop over time, and let them decide when is a good time for them to buy.

Plus, the PS4 Pros still exist. If a kid looks at a price roadmap and sees they can't afford a PS5 until 2023, but can afford a PS4 Pro now, and sees that they can get free PS5 upgrades on all games they buy for the PS4 Pro, they might pull the trigger on that.

As it stands now, people were thoroughly uninterested in the PS4 Pro, until it became clear that they weren't getting a PS5 anytime soon, so then prices on those spiked as well.

Every other consumer electronic has a stratified product lineup, where the top of the line model has a crazy high price, which drops quickly. Sony is just behind the times in this respect.
It's hard to compare a fusion plant and a geothermal plant if we don't know how much energy a single fusion plant could produce. Are there any estimates on that?
One, citation needed.

Two, I don't care if they're starving children in Africa. They're leeches creating, extending, and profiteering off shortages.

And it's not just PS5/Xbox X - it's happening with OLED Switches, something which wasn't forecast to have shortages in the first place.
It's like a random walk, basically. Now realize that the photon has something like 700000 kilometers to go and a mean free path in the core in the range of one millimeter or so and it's kind of obvious that this will necessarily take some time.
One of my problems with masks, for example; is that COVID is already prevalent in wildlife. That was known last summer. Chasing "less exposure" via masks after that is silly, seems to me.

I'm delighted they're making the vaccines freely available as they are. That's a magnificent success that is not yet as well celebrated as it deserves. Making vaccination status an issue, instead of immune status; is so stupid one has to wonder if it could be intentional. Especially as they keep doubling down on such decisions.
> The cost of nuclear is artificially high because special interests have lobbied hard against nuclear, draining western countries of the experience to build nuclear facilities rapidly and also taking away any opportunities for efficiencies of scale.

Hinkley Point C is build in cooperation by China and France, the at the moment most active countries in building and maintaining nuclear power plants. It doesn't get more "economy of scale"-ly than this.
Of course, the consequences of climate change are billions cast into abject poverty, wars over resources and land, and so on. Moreover, if we do away with carbon subsidies (i.e., implement carbon pricing and border adjustments), then yes the cost of fossil fuel energy goes up, the consequence is the society adapts to using power more efficiently. We make less disposable shit, our industrial processes improve to keep costs down, etc. Further still, nuclear fission is still a perfectly good option, and we have reactor designs that are dramatically smaller, safer, and cheaper than previous generations (with projections for the levelized cost of energy comparing favorably with that of fossil fuels today).
"When you throw in endless political tarpits and their side effects..."

Like "where are you going to put the waste?" and "I don't want my property values to go to zero when an accident occurs"? :-)

If one were suitably cynical, one might suggest China does not have that kind of problem.

All the possible rivers are already used, and the plants have killed the fish from the rivers. The effect on wildlife is not that nice.
Booms generate an educated cohort. A stalled boom freezes this now-oversized cohort in place, and leaves no job openings for the next generation. Then, a generation later, retirement can leave an industry incapable of past glories.
They have Ted Kaczynski on that list despite the fact that he's in prison for the rest of his life, and that he wouldn't use Facebook even if he was out. Is his presence on this list an indicator that Facebook is paying more attention to users/groups that talk about him a lot or share his ideals?
I feel like you're discounting the fact that these "prescriptions" didn't just manifest from the aether. Someone started the idea of these particular medications being effective. And not having a clinical trial means neither side has been proven correct. So where are people getting the idea from in the first place? That source is as much mis- or even dis-information as the subsequent attempts at damage control by the authorities. But yet it's given a complete pass in your comment?
Not sure why the downvotes, because you’re directionally-correct; exploration shifted to onshore nonconventionals (fracking, tar sands) and more complex conventional offshore wellplans, plus investments in improved recovery from producing wells. These have been wildly successful approaches in economic terms, but they were definitely in reaction to a loss of easy-to-access oil formations.
My apologies, I was being a little bit tongue-in-cheek (which didn't come through as clearly as I hoped) while also genuinely soliciting more items for my list.
It's funny you mention this particular phrasing. I used to work as a 911/police dispatcher so I was often literally the first person you'd tell such a story to. I had so many instances in which I would have greatly preferred people not use the "I hit ___" or "___ hit me"

>"I was on my way to work and this guy just hit me! He just came out of nowhere and hit me!"

Cue the inevitable asking of a) did he strike you with a fist? a weapon? b) did he strike you with a vehicle? c) if he struck you with a vehicle, were you in your vehicle or were you walking?

I got burned -many- times over taking the seemingly obvious interpretation of "I was on my way to work and this guy just hit me!" and assuming a "two-vehicle traffic collision" just to find out the caller was actually exiting a coffee shop when someone physically assaulted him, or was walking back to his parked car when he watched someone back into it, etc..

Even "I was driving to work and someone hit me" leaves such a plethora of questions unanswered that yes, in instances where -clarity- is important (having to be clear and succinct, not casually retelling the story at a bar) I would much rather hear "I was driving my vehicle when another driver collided with me" which isn't meaningfully longer and clarifies many questions about what happened.
No, the ignition here is small - on the order of a stick of dynamite. There's no reasonable way to scale it up to the size of a hydrogen bomb. Even if the lasers could just be scaled up larger & still work, which they can't b/c the lasers would make too dense of plasma & block their own beams, the number you'd need & the geometry of trying to use it on a full scale bomb would be totally impractical even for a single test. Also, a city sized laser ignition source w/ a bomb at the middle wouldn't be a useful weapon even if it were possible
The mid-level processor on the Pixel 4a may just not be performing to your expectations. A phone with a high-end processor would perform better. For GrapheneOS, the fastest compatible phone available (used/refurbished) right now is the Pixel 4 (or Pixel 4 XL).

Also, if you are using a Pixel phone with a non-default flavor of Android, the Google Camera app still works if you download it manually. APKMirror is a trustworthy app source run by Android Police:

(For Pixel phones using an older Android version, you may have to use an older version of Google Camera if the current version does not work.)
Complacent? I've read some comments by Australians on this very site which lead me to believe they're 100% welcoming their upcoming fascist totalitarian police state, because they've been led to believe this will bring "security".
This sort of legislation is bound to result in two things:

1) Cyber criminals outsmarting the identification and verification mandates, because they're criminals, they're crafty, and they don't give a crap about breaking the laws.

2) Law-abiding citizens who might be whistleblowers, victims of stalking, or have other very genuine reasons for wanting to hide their personal information will be unable to register a website without putting themselves in danger.

This sort of legislation, while possibly well-intentioned, helps no one (except for stalkers, people who get a thrill out of doxxing, and corrupt organizations wanting to silence whistleblowers).
It's also the basis of Burkean conservatism IMO, but I didn't want to bring politics into it :)
FYI, OCaml also has library-level async/await implementations (e.g. Lwt), and something similar to computation expressions (let-operators).
I was also a long-time fan of Swiftkey, and switched to OpenBoard a few months ago. The main differences are lack of swipe input which I miss dearly, and slightly less intuitive correction. I think since switching I've put a little more effort into being more accurate which has helped.
The New Yorker article goes into much more detail but in short it’s now a resulting hulk, and all these systems have now failed, because the owners are broke. This is all due to the war in which it’s also being used as a bargaining chip.
What I remember reading about the impact of speed limits is that reducing them only affects the slowest quartile or so of drivers while changes to road design such as reducing road width and visibility slow down almost all drivers. Reducing the speed of some drivers and not others increases aggressive driving and probably isn't good for safety.

I don't take the position that reducing speed is a good answer for every high-risk road situation, but for those where it is, changing the speed limit alone is likely a poor solution.
A national vaccine mandate requires enabling legislation, not executive orders.

Yes, congressional law trumps state law but executive orders do not. This view that Biden can issue an executive order and break lease agreements or union contracts, or local state regulations all across the country is really dangerous. We do not have a king, but it seems a lot of people really want the president to legislate via decree as long as they agree with the decree. That is a very dangerous belief.
Monads are a pattern for function or method chaining.

Same here, what I loved about the web was the immediacy. You edited 2-3 files and you were done!

Today I had to work with Angular, this thing is insane. So many files, so many layers, so slow... This thing makes me hate what I do.

I wish web dev took a different direction towards more simplicity.

I found blindsight pretty easy as an audiobook when driving rom SF to seattle. Maybe being slightly inattentive benefitted me for that style of writing, but I didn't notice the metaphor heavy style.
The fusion reaction needs containment, the right fuel, and massive amounts of energy in just the right place. It's phenomenally difficult to marshal the containment necessary to make the energy from a fusion reaction go into more fusion and not, say, warming up the test chamber a fraction. Yes, the fact that there's not much fuel is important, but not as important as the finickiness of making the plasma do what you want in the first place.

One of the major problems (arguably the problem) with tokamak or similar fusion reactors is that if the plasma ever touches the edge of the vessel, it immediately cools down and stops being plasma. It can't fuse with itself any more, much less trigger anything else to start. Heavier atoms need more energy to fuse, that's why you see hydrogen, helium, lithium bandied about in these discussions. The amount of energy needed to fuse the atoms in the walls of a fusion reactor is literally supernova-scale. We're not talking "there's an engineering tolerance built in for safety", rather "as a civilisation it's not immediately conceivable how we might generate amounts of energy that large".

Given that the majority of the earth is made out of elements that are inconveniently heavy, runaway fusion is absolutely, definitely, totally, completely not a problem.
>Lambda only has default support for the LTS releases of .NET

Not true, https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/developer/net-5-aws-lambda-supp...

>Even though Lambda’s policy has always been to support LTS versions of language runtimes for managed runtimes, the new container image support makes .NET 5 a first class platform for Lambda functions.
Yes, there’s force backing those prohibitions (I literally mention that in the sentence you quoted), but what I wrote was that no one is talking about forcefully injecting anyone. You can decline the vaccine, parts of the rest of society just won’t allow you to interact with them. But if you’re the type to value your negative liberty that much, I’m sure you can manage without?
I just tried it and you are wrong.
>that means "the effect we call gravity" doesn't exist?

No, it means whether or not I believe it is unrelated to what you said, and I will instantly take any claims you make as suspect.
> I doubt [battery] supply will be able to keep up.

Any tech that exists today can be made in almost-limitless quantities given a few years and customers willing to pay.

Eg. Say you want to make 100x the worlds current production of nuts and bolts. You just count up how many nut and bolt factories there are, how many steel works, how many mines, etc, and you multiply that by 99 and build them. Provided you have financing (which you will have if enough people are happy to buy nut and bolt futures ahead of time), they're all parallel projects so can be done independently, almost eliminating schedule risk.

The only time it doesn't hold true is when the need for a product is short term, unpredictable, unexpected, or where someone desires to pay less than market price.
It’s only the older designs that need active cooling.

The US is so car dependent that it's very politically fraught to make it harder to get a driver's license. Not allowing a person to drive in much of the US is a matter of equity; people that can't drive can't make it to their jobs, can't buy their groceries, etc. What that means of course is that the US usually just knowingly increases the risk of non-drivers because of its brittle dependence on cars, and thus disincentivizes people in most parts of the US from ever not-driving. Woe to you if you don't drive because the US isn't setup for transit equity.
I think that's why it hasn't exploded yet. If you read the New Yorker article it's clear that it's only a matter of time until either
A) the ship's hull rusts through - letting oxygen in and oil out
B) a gunshot or explosions opens a whole - as it's in a war zone

The difference is of course Consequentialism. If you believe that your actions that will contribute to death and deprivation of future generations then you are morally obliged to treat this case differently. This is fundamentally different from banning ads that deny Christ or espouse a political position that is merely contra to their leaderships position but not disastrous or inherently immoral.

Their is value in the objectivity you describe but it doesn't outweigh the survival of the human race. As to the genesis of such a policy consider its own staff and leadership. They are overwhelmingly educated individuals whose demographic overwhelmingly believes our actions are having a deleterious effect on the future of our and other species. As this decision will only earn them limited good will and will certainly cost them money I would suggest that this course of action is undertaken because they believe it is the right thing to do.

For me hoarding stuff falls into two categories: "I might need it later", and sentimentality. Your point covers 1, but not 2. However, smartphone cameras have largely solved 2 fore: I take a bunch of photos of the sentimental object so I can remember it later, then I don't feel so guilty tossing it.
That is not a good strategy. That pattern is just as likely to come up. However, should it come up, you are almost guaranteed to split the pot.

The best strategy is to not play. The second best strategy is to minimize the chance of splitting the pot.
