Your data actually directly disproves your argument. The highest number on that list which isn't hydropower or geothermal is 15% wind power in Scotland.

Look, wind power needs to grow at an exponential rate the next decade in order to meet current projections for how much wind power we need. But it's not doing that, instead it's slowing down.

The primary reason being wind power developers have for the last decade been just as bad as the fossile fuel industry when it comes to being a bunch of greedy a*holes that steamroll over local opinions, rights of indigenous people, and conservation of natural habitats.

Did you know that 50% of the largest on-land wind park in Europe may need to be disassembled and removed? It was recently ruled by grand assembly in Norwegian supreme court that its construction violates article 27 of the United Nations International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, i.e. it was found to be a violation of the fundamental human rights of the indigenous people.
Thanks a lot for the reply!! FWIW, I didn't notice the change of tenses or other stuff at all, found the whole piece very engaging and interesting! (Though admittedly skimmed some details that I didn't care enough about :P)

As for rubber-duck debugging, that's a benefit I didn't think of, thanks!
Even then there's not much there to get me interested.
But isn't it the profit-seeking capitalists who actually bring innovations to market, to the benefit of everyone? Why would you deprive yourself of the benefit of trading with these groups? "Independence" isn't really a thing in a world with a global supply chain. It's simply not realistic to produce everything that we consume locally for anything approaching a reasonable cost. Economies of scale are extremely powerful.

Stronger controls on education about the nuclear industry is not the magic pill for success. The magic pill in my estimation is trust and time without accidents.
It's also very common for string instruments, even at higher levels for difficult passages.
Ads don't have anything to do with the design of the internet, and if you want free expression to be possible, so are ads. Otherwise you'd need every scrap of content anyone makes to go through a censor before being made available.
From the site referenced by that post:

"And every few days, I still get a hit with news.ycombinator.com (no subpages, just the front page) in the referer header. And my heart rate kicks up: what if I'm on the front page? And I go to the front page, and, much to my relief, I'm nowhere to be seen. I've dodged the Cathedral for another day."

And later a good credo for net users: (this site) "doesn't exist for you to debate over, or moral-grandstand about yourself. It doesn't exist to vindicate you, or validate your preconceived notions of who I am, of who I could become.
It doesn't exist for you.
It exists for me."

Another interesting aspect is it appears to be using a hacked YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/RallyArgentinooficial/videos

This channel RallyArgentinooficial at least appears valid, with rally videos going back 3+ years ago with thousands of views.

Beginner piano books often have fingering hints, it’s just finger numbers beside the notes. It makes playing easier when you can’t sight read but is not so useful after that. So it’s not surprising you haven’t seen it.

I’d contend finger numbering is more about learning the notes of a piece easily for beginners rather than about actual fingering.
I don't understand. Can someone explain the actual scam happening here? How does he make money off of people thinking Etherium/Bitcoin will skyrocket in value?
So now we went from abundant down to potentially abundant.
Yes!! That is a big motivation. If supporting others is very cheap people are more likely to support it.

And I love that you're on to the food machines. I have obsessed over the idea of automated production based on the Sikh systems. I hope I can build it some day. Or even if I don't, that someone does.

Agreed. It could also be real but no where near as serious as they are claiming. Mankind went from the first manned flight to footprints on the moon in 60 years. I'm not losing any sleep about a mathematically insignificant projection that may or may not lead to something 100 years from now. 100 years from now if they want terraforming to strictly regulate the climate it should be well within their capabilities.

Again, these people aren't serious. And their actions prove how the threat is either not real at all, or extremely distant to the point of being irrelevant for us.
It seems relevant to point out that somebody flagged this article.

Hey, @dang, author here. I don’t think this deserves flagging! The topic is serious and worth thinking about.

Update: I don’t think you’re correct, however, that there is “strong evidence that IQ is linked to group genetics“. This is, for both scientific and political reasons, a very difficult area to work in, and I don’t believe the evidence is in to either support or rebut that claim.
Yes but how would you implement this on a low level? How would a system know something had happened without some kind of polling lurking below?
> Now do the flu

The CDC's estimates for deaths from the flu are tiny and irrelevant when compared with the massive impact of COVID-19. It's estimated that in the past 20 years the yearly number if deaths from the flu peaked at 61k in 2017-2018, which is less than a tenth of covid19's death count.

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/past-seasons.html

Keep in mind that the flu didn't benefitted from public health and safety containment policies such as mask mandates, lockdowns, social distancing, or even changes to workplace higiene. Thus the 730k deaths from COVID-19 are significantly lower than it would be if no precautions were taken.
1. The "live" video is old footage from the 2020 Coinbase Speaker series

2. All the graphics about the "ETH Giveaway" framing the video are added by the scammer

3. The victim visits the website mentioned in the graphics or description, sends ETH to the address with hopes of doubling it, and loses their money

4. You can see the addresses used by the scammer elsewhere in this thread. You can see ETH being sent to the address, presumably by victims expecting to double their money.

5. The YouTube channel belongs to RallyArgentinooficial, which appears to have been a legitimate account that was hacked, as it has 3+ years of car rally videos (https://www.youtube.com/c/RallyArgentinooficial/videos)
I use Airflow to stream 1080 to a chromecast from my MacBook . Works flawlessly with a simple UI.

My understanding is that it supports 4k and a range of streaming devices but I can’t say if it handles it flawlessly because I don’t have hardware to try it.
And hunter gatherers worked even shorter hours. Agriculture is a trap!
I thought there are no bad questions.
Sorry, I’m afraid it’s intentional.

Easy navigation of hierarchical/structured links just encourages visitors to turn sideways away from the content they are being funnelled towards.

The cattle farmers that currently run the web only want you clicking away once you’ve had a couple of opportunities to see ads, and it will be via some highly tuned clickbait “related links”.

But why wouldn’t they want you to spend more time on their site, you ask? Because people who are conducting a structured search for information will focus on finding that information, not on clicking the adverts. They are bad customers. What the farmers want is people who are only casually looking for information, who will be easily diverted to click on something else.

Truths about video game stories
Thanks for the reply!! So basically working notes, makes sense, and I vaguely thought about that too; although it would appear they somehow don't seem to work that well in my case for this purpose; I need to think about it. As to the "redo" step, that is something I didn't think of, but sounds like a really good idea, thank you!
I went to Mexico January past and lucked out that it was butterfly season. Ever since raising them with my own milkweed plants I had wanted to see this sight.

I can only encourage tourism for this event, a million butterflys flapping their wings definitely makes a sound and hopefully the more tourists that go to see them, the more value is placed on protecting their forestry reserves.
I don't play piano, but my seven year old daughter does.
She's doing her grade 2 exam soon enough.

I would also second that advice too!
My wife taught her some basics but we got a private teacher for her about a year ago, that has supercharged her ability.

She does a 40 minute lesson once a week. The teacher writes notes on what she is to practice and learn.
She practices her work for about an hour a day, and spends maybe another 30 minutes figuring out songs she likes (the Harry Potter theme is her current interest).

I would recommend doing the same to anyone else, a private teacher is the way to go.

As a side note, she didn't just start from zero, we've had her in some form of music and rhythm class since she was 9 months old. She has a good ear for music, timing and instruction, to the point where she used to surprise other parents/teachers with how attentive she was.

Also I make sure to have the classical radio on every morning and evening to further train her ear ;)
It makes it relevant to add solar during the day. This would allow reducing the baseline at night.
First, you can't predict solar or wind days ahead in the same way you can't predict rain, days ahead. There are "weather forecasts", not cloud reading.

Second. Even if you knew two days ahead about wind speed fluctuations that lasted for 10 to 20 minutes. What, then? You can't inform the population there will be 10 minute outages, in advance, or ask them to turn off appliances for exactly 10 minutes, in advance.

Solar and wind aren't reliable. The plan is to turn on thermal plants when the wind stops blowing. In my very humble opinion, solar and wind aren't THE long term future of energy production. They have their uses, but the way it is being marketed obeys to political discourse, not reality.
> seems credible US agents fabricated it

This is not credible at all. Literally no evidence for it.

Java might have been that, if HTML and all the other web tech had never happened and Mosaic, Netscape Navigator, etc. had started out as Java sandboxes.
That one is Maria Korolov's blog where she blogs more about facebook and oculus these days (with obvious paid guest posts that are ads). Her grid list s manually crafted and very outdated. Curious why you didn't know of opensimworld , it exists for more than 5 years and its teleporters are everywhere. She has even embedded the opensimworld twitter feed in her front page.
You seem to have misunderstood everything. Engineers where the ones pushing for it, that's why they ended up building surrounding services in python3.

Transitioning big, heavily used, daily changed by thousands of engineers codebases is not easy.

Do not make it look like just people is incompetent. It is a big financial, management and engineering effort.

Maybe you're not understanding the scale of these things.
Remember when Trump said "I can shoot someone on 5th avenue and not lose any supporters"?

It's kind of like that for Assange.

This is unfortunate because it discredits the entire movement and some of the ideas Assange represents.
IRC would be fine if it had one feature that is expected today:

Persistence.

If you close your IRC client, you will miss anything that is sent while you're gone. You can't close it and come back to it later. That behavior is considered unacceptable today.

There's also the fact that people want and expect their communication platforms to support the posting of images and videos in-line. IRC doesn't have that.

Discord essentially is just IRC updated for the modern age.
Seems rather essential, which is a good thing. Also good that it is ported to Alpine Linux. But although they say it is packaged for Debian, I couldn't find its .deb anywhere.

I would argue that 2009 is not very much out of date when it comes to geology research. The sources also agree with each other:

Scientific American: "According to the NEA, identified uranium resources total 5.5 million metric tons, and an additional 10.5 million metric tons remain undiscovered"

World Nuclear Association: 8 million tonnes "reasonably assured and inferred resources".

This does not change the conclusion that the uranium would run out in less than 20 years if used to supply 100% of the earth's primary energy consumption.
irrationality is the sign of free and healthy market. ascribing the subjective theory of value I believe value is determined by the individual. so what seems like an irrational move to an outsider looking at the fundamentals is meaningless because what looks irrational to one set of people could be the completely correct decision long term. specifically, the possibility of profit is the immediate value. can this be speculation, yes, but speculation is what drives innovation imo. that's the beauty of healthy market different people trying different endeavors and the cream rising to the top. the reality is irrationality can only last for so long because if a company is an impostor or playing accounting tricks they will crumble(unless government bails them out with taxpayer dollars). so even when the market is overvalued or irrational there are corrections. and this a good thing. there is no such thing as risk free universe.

I don't think that would hold in any court of law, clearly the FBI treats ransomware ransoms as money.
This sort of thing might actually work according to George Church. However, it would require one more very important step.

Most blue green algae do not live long. They are swiftly killed by a virus that has evolved to kill that particular algae.

cyanobacteria (BG algae) are hyper prevalent. However, so are cyanophages. Once killed the cyanobacteria re-release the carbon they sequestered back into the environment.

The idea is to genetically modify cyanobacteria to be unaffected by its cyanophage.

These organisms would then flourish, sucking insane amounts of CO2 out of the atmosphere and then eventually sinking to the bottom, where apparently it is harder for them to be re-consumed and their carbon to be re-introduced to the atmosphere.

Interesting idea...
> Yes, the policy we followed doesn't seem to be so effective. Then why do you think it saves more lives than it costs?

Are you really trying to argue that people should just be left to die in droves because otherwise that would have a dent in logistics/the economy?

Yeah, it's like when Blizzard brought out World of Warcraft Classic for the people clamoring for Vanilla WoW...

Most people didn't remember that classic WoW was awful compared to modern WoW. It was ground-breaking for its time, for sure, but there were so many features added in later expansions that made major differences in quality of life.

One of the things that made WoW so great was how massive and open the world was. In 2004, it was incredibly impressive that you could travel across a continent and never have a single loading screen, and that you could have over 100 players all in one spot. But over 15 years later, those defining features were no longer defining. Everything that made WoW great in 2004 is now basically the baseline of expectations for any new game.
> the economics are holding it back more than the technology is.

Is it not more the missing political will? (and yes, they are related as politics always seeks/ caters to big corps to get their buy-in)

In 2008 when the financial system felt some distress, the German finance minister provided 400bn euros over a weekend to Deutsche bank and others. It took politics 2 fregging days to unlock that amount of resources. And it was like no questions asked.

And we kept pumping that amount in there on a quarterly basis ever since.

I do not need to go into military spending.

So for me the earth ecosystem which needs to sustain is as a species is in as much of distress as the financial system was back then. It warrants the same sense of urgency and resource allocation.
This is how I've always played until last month. Made a mistake? Fumble through but never really focus 20 times perfect on a single bar like I do now.
Revenue growth is financed by earnings, so you would expect P/E ratio to be higher for companies that are still scaling regardless of their size. A high P/E does not indicate an over-valued company prima facie, which is accounted for by investors. P/E ratios are more indicative of value when revenue growth is hovering around 0%.
We had some 'new colleagues' try this in the past months; the problem is, in a team setting, it is incredibly hard to pull off depending on your work. These were (we parted ways obviously) developers and in a team setting, you, as the fraudster, would need to be on top and deep into the details of everything your 'staff' delivers. When we pop on zoom to talk about work, you cannot come across as not knowing, intimately, what you did. And that is where it crashes; you will be busy keeping up reading chats between your 'staff' and your 'colleagues' and reviewing source and doing calls. You'll be defending mistakes your staff made as if they are your own etc. If you survive longer than a few weeks of not getting caught, I think this is a good way to burn out fast. Of course if you tell your company, you are going to create a small new consultancy outfit and they can hire this company from now to do your work and your employer agrees, that is another and quite a good story. That is how many start out. And then it is expected that you make profit on staff as that is suddenly your job.
Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit, eh?

I suggest you go back and re-read what I actually wrote.

Because you apparently weren't able to retain the stuff from the beginning and middle of my comment by the time you got to the end, or just read the last sentence, I'm not so sure you'll be able to figure it out.

As such, I'll explain. And I'll use small words so you'll be sure to understand.

If you're a selfish piece of shit and only care about yourself, then only N95 masks are useful.

However, if you're a normal, decent human being, you understand that non-N95 masks help to keep you from infecting others. What's more, if enough of us do so, non-N95 masks can absolutely help.

I also want to take this opportunity to tell you to fuck off. Have a nice day!
The irony of thinking files and folders are too much for simple app and also praising a feature that is in direct relation to php’s MO of conflating codebase folder structure with requests’ path.

Edit: this reminds me, I was like this too at the beginning of my dev career, I also was completely in favor of this supposed “simplicity” of php, only much later, thanks to hickey’s nice talk I realized that I was confusing simplicity with ease.

Whenever I read articles like this one, I try extremely hard not to view it through an Orientalist lens. But sometimes it's extremely hard to do. I was born in the US, but whenever I'd visit Asia or relatives in India, I couldn't help but notice there is something "broken" about the psyche of Asians. The upper echeleons of society are typically the most degenerate, at least from what I've observed. They like to drink, gamble, do drugs, etc...but God forbid if the lower classes even do a fraction of what they do. They will thrown down the hammer of social and moral superiority. The modern Asian is still chained by the shackles of colonialism.
I stand by my claim that “No sane or influential people are calling for compulsory sterilization programs”, and later on, the article makes the same point you have made about racists.

There’s value in being able to write code without the ceremony of types or declarations or compulsory exception declarations and the like, just like there’s value in having tools like a REPL.

The problem comes in that it takes a lot of discipline and understanding of both your code and dependencies to successfully manage projects without those safety rails. They are also extraordinarily difficult to add-on later.

I’ve written small reverse proxies in say Node.js which saved me days of time over doing so in something like Rust. I’ve also hit errors in Node.js code which have made me want to give up on technology and live in a cave.
> what I believe should happen with abusive contracts is the courts should make them counter-enforceable. Meaning, all the rights and dignities the signature-demander wanted me to forfeit to them, and all the obligations and basic liability the signature-demander wanted to be exempt from, are turned around 180 degrees.

This is a terrible idea because it presumes both sides of the contract are equally valuable to both sides.

You know how much it's worth to me that Lyft will have to enter arbitration if they want to sue me? Nothing, because there are very few courses of life where Lyft ends up suing me

Likewise with any privacy terms. I don't have any spyware installed on their computers, and no sane judge is going to grant you authority to randomly distribute crapware to Lyfts computers.

Lyfts terms are of no use to me, and me having them isn't a real risk to them. Likewise with the prenup. The prenup isn't useful to her, and her having one doesn't threaten him. In both cases, the problem for the contract writer is that their end is now void.

If you want to penalize them, fine them. If you're not happy with how paltry fines have been, base them on % revenue like Europe and remove a lot of the judicial discretion.
