That is a good question, and one that needs to be answered, but sadly it's not going to be touched for fear of accusations of racism or prejudice against Islam, etc.

So the general response from the left is to ban collecting any statistics which might reveal group differences, or to ban publication of such statistics if they are collected, or to assume that any such difference are the results of oppression if they are published.

Which is a shame because Europe desperately needs to find a way of integrating these populations, and pretending that there is no problem is just sticking your head in the sand.
I was wondering if somebody had posted a Scaramuzza paper, guess so… lol
> what other primates do may not translate to good public policy.

True, but we weren't talking about whether it's good public policy, but about what the cause is. That chimpanzees exhibit bullying does not mean we should accept bullying, but it does mean we can't e.g. exclusively blame violent movies for bullying - not without strong additional evidence.

> People will either pay more or save money by changing their lifestyle to match the weather and seasons.

Absolutely. People will soon adapt to Renewables by heating their homes only in summer, when electricity is cheap, and not in winter, when it is expensive. They will also use electric lights more during the day, when electricity is plentiful, and not at night, when it is scarce. This isn't really new; after all, for millenia, people responded to droughts by simply eating less in the years with bad harvests, and they were happy, weren't they?

In a world powered by Renewables, electricity in worthless during summer days and priceless during winter nights. What a glorious future indeed!
Seems to me like you could power some of the ports with a hub/switch if you're willing to restrict which ports accept advanced peripherals. You could even use a PCIe switch to get more Thunderbolt.
It’s just nice to be able to differentiate between markdowns that adhere to some existing implementation (GitHub, CommonMark or something else) and those that are their own flavor.[1]

“Markdown” is marketing speak for “you probably already know this”. Which yes, sure, but all the little tiny differences between all the different implementations can act as annoying papercuts.

At least it’s not wiki markup...

[1] GitHub Markdown etc. are fine since they can be called that (X Markdown) and not just “Markdown”.

Interesting to consider how much that lobby has quietly funded CO2 research projects, to prove anthropogenic effects. Also interesting that the big push to consider CO2 and it's impacts, started about the time a 30 year moratorium on nuclear power was coming to an end.
Currently 60% of landmass is being used by humans directly (human habitat, pastures, crops). Of remaining 40% about a half is still being continuously influenced by humans (residential forests, patches of land between roads, etc.). And the land is being used unsustainably and almost all unused land is beyond the polar circle. So no, the Earth can not hold 100B people with current level of consumption.

And generally you don't want current consumption level, you want much higher standards, because majority of world's population is living in poverty. Which means that Earth can't hold 8B people either unless humans improve their land use efficiency significantly, which is unlikely.

When someone buys liquidity, they don't do so to close their order 500ns faster. They do it to ensure they can trade at the current market price because they don't want to take the risk that the market will move away from them while waiting for a counter-party to trade with.

Those that are comfortable taking this risk can simply issue a LIMIT order instead of a MARKET order.
Not true if you’re talking about California.

You can remove small amounts of nuisance stuff in small areas, and burn in small piles during days you are approved to burn (which are limited). Maximum pile height of 3 ft, and 3x3 ft diameter if I remember from the last burn permit I pulled?

You can clear up to 1/3 of an acre, or emergency thin I think up to 3 acres if you comply with those rules, but the 3 acres they reserve the right to come in and fine you if you do something they don’t like, and you have to file a permit to do that too. Any trees about a certain diameter or of certain species, regardless of
level of disease or danger they might require you to keep. A dead tree that might have an owl or protected animal in it? Ho boy.

It would take several lifetimes to even attempt that on 60+ acres of overgrown timber. I spent a week and barely did 1/4 of an acre working full time, and it still wasn’t adequately thinned.

In the end, it took a crew of 4 with purpose built heavy equipment (a masticator), working full time over 4 months to do it to state standard -once the paperwork finally cleared this summer.

China is a huge country of 1.4B people, including many English-speaking foreigners. It is certainly not a black box. If something is "happening on the ground" you can be sure to know about it if only via VPN, satellite images, etc. But more likely it would be all out in the open on Weibo, etc.

Well IPFS, or else something like it, need to establish the network/utility, and then we can increasingly optimize it with dedicated stuff at lower layers. I don't think going straight to the hard parts is going to work without much more government policy to push through the investment -- seems strictly harder than going the 0-cost overlay-network only approach, because clearly we are demand-constrained not efficiency-constrained.

I was tipped off to https://twitter.com/_John_Handel/status/1443925299394134016 which I honestly think might be the approach to think about how networks in a broader sense than regular telecommunications are bootstrapped.
Maybe I'm a fool, but what is the point in things like this anymore, like post nuclear do fancy missiles really make that much difference, as in if china for whatever reason sent a hypersonic missile at the US and blew up a city, couldnt the US just do the same in return but slower? I guess I'm asking why is there investment in stuff like this when we know we have far more powerful things already.
My very first game console which I look back on with fond memories, though that is mostly the nostalgia of an old man. To be honest, when I received it as some sort of present (Christmas or Birthday) from my parents.... I was very disappointed. As mentioned in other comments here: it wasn't the console to have... that was the Atari 2600. And using it only compounded that disappointment... the controllers which were part joystick, part paddle and wanted you to pump the joystick for a button press was just odd and a bit clumsy. The best game I had for it was the one that came with it (as I remember): you were a block of some size and other blocks would move across the screen an you had to dodge those and not run into the sides of the screen... no characters, no theming: just square blocks. There were other games, but no cool factor at all.

In the end it wasn't terrible, just OK. It was entertaining enough that we chose to play it when could have just left it turned off. I wish I still had it. But eventually I did get the 2600, and not too long after having gotten it I traded it in for a deal on my first computer: the Commodore VIC-20.... I wish I still had it, but I eventually traded that in for a deal on a Commodore 64... I wish I still had that... but...
I'm not following. Persistence of the model is a different problem. FSD does that too, there are lots of examples. The issue here seems to be that the car never saw the post at all (you can see on the screen that it never gets rendered, though it's for the cross traffic and I don't know whether FSD beta draws lights that it thinks aren't for you).

This setup sounds like a near-dream with that 3:2 display. The aspect ratio is one of my main drivers to use iPad 12.9 for doing things. But of course, it is always a double-edged sword with how well the split-screen looks with various apps on crammed display, etc., which makes this setup extra interesting because the freedom to adjust through software is much more here.

So .. if we plot the electricity demand curve, baseline would be a level line going through the (weekly) bottom of the curve. Baseline power is below the line and the rest is above, correct?

Renewables and more specifically storage is not ready, so the part that is below base line is currently served by gas (and some coal/nuclear) and the part that is above is delivered by renewables without need for storage?
Fish traps are common. Sea gardens, less so.
By very regularly, you mean ‘regularly tarpitted for a long time anytime there are a decent number of people near
the work’? Bridge widening work on 101 has been delayed for decades by this in the Bay Area, CalTrain electrification was delayed by over a decade, etc. etc.

Most utility corridors are in the middle of nowhere and already established (and people stay away because of this), so reusing an existing corridor is relatively easy - unless it widens into someone’s yard. Then it’s a matter of how much money that person has.

> This is something that's both true and untrue. On the face of it, it's absolutely true. But what are governments, really? They're a reflection of the people they govern.

This is a pretty naive assumption. There's a pretty huge divergence in what the voting public wants and what governments actually do. For example, the US voting public overwhelmingly wants cannabis legalization, and that is not even remotely a legislative priority. It's delusional to think the government is going to act on the desires of the voting public for something as economically significant as carbon emissions.

> I've long held the view that we'll only have a solution to climate change when it becomes economic to do so.

It'll only be obviously economic to act long after the damage is done, this is the problem. We had enough trouble rallying the government for something as short-term and obvious as covid, good luck showing those with huge political power and vested interests in the status quo that their short term interests are going to be a disaster in a few decades.
That is obviously the only answer (unless cold fusion comes out soon) but it's also the only answer that can't make anyone money. (Except maybe Pfizer, if the tinhat crowd is right.)

I did not understand what you meant.
But what we need is not baseline power, it’s load following power. And both nuclear and renewables struggle with this.

Nuclear can solve this by overbuilding and reducing power output at non-peak times. Renewables by overbuilding by and augmenting with storage. Both are proven technologies, both are expensive. I don’t really see that nuclear has an advantage here.

Incidental and subjective opinion; but I do think that The Restaurant at the End of The Universe is the best book in the series.

The commentary is deeper, the jokes are funnier and the story arc feels a lot less random whilst still being surreal. The scenes at the end of the book with the Golfrinchans is a masterclass in humourous writing with a truly nasty vein of bleakness.

It also features the ultimate question, of course.
> only FSD can harm a driver who was otherwise aware and capable of providing the correct input but not allowed to until things started going wrong lest the feature disable itself.

This is simply not the case. If you don't like what FSD is doing you disengage. The very linked video we're discussing is an existence proof!

Is your whole point a psychological one? You think FSD drivers are less likely to correct the machine than drivers with assistive technology? That seems like something you need to argue with evidence and not principle.

Are they? I certainly haven't seen numbers. Tesla's own numbers seem to imply the opposite: Teslas also have assistive features, but they still get in fewer accidents with AP engaged.
> how many Chernobyl zones would be expected if all of the fossil fuel usage was replaced with nuclear?

Honestly? Roughly 1. The reason Chernobyl blew up is difficult to explain to people that don't have a lot of background in nuclear physics. In addition to this, no western country built reactors that even had the ability to explode.

So a better question would be about Fukushima like zones (yeah, there is a bit of a difference. Their exclusion zone is smaller and won't last as long). This is also pretty unlikely and very difficult to calculate. Some people over estimate the damage from Fukushima, some under. Again, it is hard to explain to non-experts. It's not only nuclear physics, a tough enough subject as is, but also a lot of geology, medicine, and more. The simplest way to put the Fukushima accident is that it was caused by a never before seen earthquake (and subsequent tsunami) and one that was not predicted possible. Now, science did advance and this possibility was learned about, but it was a little too late. A typical response to this is that we also don't know what can happen in the future, but this is also naive because we've clearly gotten better.

There's been close to 700 reactors built and only 2 had major accidents. That's less than half a percent. Supposing we had 10k reactors that would put us at 30. But this is naive for the reasons given/implied to above. The honest answer is probably less than 10. But it is again hard to calculate because that estimate is based on current climate conditions and assuming events like Katrina are common. But I think this is still a high estimate because even the Indian ocean earthquake didn't cause such a disaster at India's Chennai reactor. My more honest guess is 3. But this is even hard because it's based on black swan events and in addition to that climate wouldn't be as big of a problem as it is today if we had continued to build reactors in the 80's. We also have assumed that such production wouldn't have increased safety measures like we see in Gen IV and Gen V reactors. Which if those were around, then I don't think we would have an additional one and I don't think Fukushima would have happened. So 1.

The truth is that asking this question is impossible to answer and not really that fruitful. It is abundantly clear that the 2 accidents that have happened were black swan events. Only Chernobyl was (somewhat meaningfully) predictable. We still don't know how to predict black swan events because by definition they are rare. We can't give a meaningful answer to your question.

And yeah, I agree. It is very clear that Chernobyl is less bad than climate change. Nature is still thriving in Chernobyl and Fukushima. Just humans aren't. And that might not be such a bad thing (though obviously it is bad for all the people that were displaced).
These aren’t “anti-city” but anti-naval. The point is defanging US maritime power projection by targeting its carrier strike group formations.
You know, it's possible to convert ground dedicated to cattle or agriculture and develop that into cities. That's historically how we always do it. It's not like housing developments can only happen on land that no one owns and that isn't being used for anything at all.

What we do is change what the land is used for. So I don't think this argument holds any water, TBH.

By the time the frontier was closed -- say late 1800s, pretty much all US land was owned by someone and ostensibly dedicated to some use. Yet we managed to increase our population quite a bit since then.

All European land was spoken for by the early middle ages. Yet they managed to grow their population too.
Again, I’m all up for that. For methodical collection of information and drawing conclusions without bias for either racist or politically correct viewpoints.

But this style of writing, about an individual event, echoed in every media source I can find, is imho irresponsible. Sure, if there’s a rise in crime and terrorism from Somali-heritage Brits, write about it. But not on individual cases.

If nothing else, this guy is innocent until proven guilty. What if he’s totally clinically insane? A bunch of people will conclude from such coverage (their error but still) that Somalis are evil British-hating monsters. Not only is this guy not representative of an otherwise diverse group of people, his motives and actions might be nothing to do with his Somali-ness.

Maybe he’s the only Black member of the local fox hunt, or did this as part of a New Age pagan cult? I doubt it, but to imply the ethnic connection before anything concrete is known is wrong.

The expression 'ivresse manifeste' is probably an odd euphemism for what in other legislations is more properly phrased as "bothersome drunkenness", to which "practical side" (bothersomeness) it adds a mandate for "decency", "to avoid being degrading" - which in French culture is probably felt more than other details and more than in other territories.
