Rules? Sure. Strong agree with “Just buy one”.

I’ve come to different conclusions about the specifics of the bikes themselves. From a different premise and position, surely. I’m a bicyclist and a a motorcyclist, and I tend towards taut, supple, reasonably lightweight, comfortable things. Vehicles that feel good to ride, ride well and predictably and smoothly and go anywhere and do everything. Get out of the way. Disappear.

An E-bike should:

• Take up to 2.25” wide tires to be able to use Schwalbe Ice Spiker Pro tubeless winter tires. Studded 27.5x2.25” in icy seasons, 29x38mm or so for most everything else. (This might sound strange; idk. I was surprised by the unreasonable effectiveness of this setup.)

• Should have carbon fiber rims because the ride is so, so nice. Tubeless. Tubes are a failure point. Tubeless or GTFO.

• Should have drop bars with an “open” ergonomic flare. Most natural hand/shoulder position. Allows comfort while minimising drag and wind resistance in a tucked position as desired.

• Should be a good bicycle – should ride well overall and be reasonably light. For me this rules out hub motors.

(From these reasons I may conclude that E-bikes should be electric gravel bikes.)

• Should have some form of controlled suspension. Just a little though. A cheap suspension fork isn’t worth the weight. A Lauf fork with flat glass-fiber springs would be excellent. That leaves the rear wheel non-suspended though. This means that the rider’s spine and the bicycle’s frame are coupled to the road surface, besides the tires’ squish. Good tires do make a big difference but I for one have made up my mind – modern materials allow for super lightweight controlled suspension and I want it and will seek it out. It’s worth it, not just for comfort: Bumps jolt the rider, and the weight of rider and bike are forced to move over bumps; Both cost energy. (Jolts and vibration are not physiologically trivial; Subtly draining.) So: Ideally the frame should have some form of rear suspension. Very few electric versions of nice-to-ride bicycle frames have rear suspension. Some carbon fiber frames have suspension designed into the flex of the frame but I haven’t found anything I like in e-bikes. I think Shimano make an aluminium gravel e-bike with some form of suspension in the rear triangle? There exist suspension seatposts. This is kind of clever. Should be pretty effective. The bike’s frame is unsuspended but the rider is suspended and decoupled and that’s where most of the mass is.

And so.

I stand to believe that Cairn bikes are the e-bikes to get. (And swap a few component out on.) Compared to bicycles they aren’t cheap, but compared to the full cost of a car they are. Even without externalities.

It's not dumb as long as you ask questions (and are interested in the answer).

The global ice sheets currently melt at a rate of 1.4 trillion tons per year. Biomass of all living things is about 500 billion tons C. Let's pretend all of that is plant mass on land (most if it isn't), and let's just say there's 5 times as much water as carbon in plants (an overestimation at least for trees), and we arrive at only 2.5 trillion tons of water bound.

So, if I my estimations aren't wildly off, increasing tree biomass even by a large factor won't help us significantly. Add to that that the rate of the ice melting is accelerating, and that the sea levels are also rising due to thermal expansion, and I don't think we can more or less discount the bound water in trees.
The best way to gain support is to extrapolate from your own situation. /s

Don't get me wrong: I believe your case, and I believe it's roughly on the path to reducing the effect we have on the planet. But you are missing few practical considerations.

The immediate case that you are obviously ignoring is parents with babies. Babies are known not to regulate their body temperature well, nor to have strong immune systems, nor can they walk long distances on their own. So what do parents do? Move between places with temperate climate and clean(er) air (home with AC/heating, cars, malls...). How do they do that? Driving cars (you've also got your mobile "locker" where you can put a stroller or any other necessities in).

At the same time, parents with small children (as a category) probably spend the most time outdoors walking in our society today, but that's usually walking "without a purpose." When they live in non-walkable areas, they'll drive to a walkable area first.

(Sure, we could subject our babies to all the extremes, but we'll have a higher infant/child mortality rate. We've long stopped subscribing to the "only the fittest survive" mantra.)

Since having a baby is a big investment today, if you are at the same time investing in a house, you'll look for (slightly) cheaper housing options. So, walkable neighbourhoods — I can't imagine anyone not wanting to live in one — are usually priced out of their range.

You are right that this is a loop: parents can't tell when they can stop being so vigilant, especially as children (and parents) are now unused to extreme climates, so they easily fall sick (parents included). And if they've invested in a home outside a walkable area, it's costly to move.

While you say breaking that loop is easy, I don't think it is. Moving places is hard and expensive (and harder and more expensive with children). Accepting higher sickness rates while your kids and you develop your immune and cardiovascular (to better manage body heat) systems is costly too (leave from work, paid help...). You should consider yourself privileged to have been able to do so!

This points at a number of problems: financial incentives for home builders are misplaced, missing regulatory requirements... and sure, insufficiently motivated people. And this is only when constrained with one thing (having a baby): there are plenty other constraints people might have (job availability, care availability, friends proximity...). Basically, people might have to compromise a lot.

If you only focus on insufficient motivation, I don't think you'll get many to "sign up".
Think about it. People going the extra mile do it because they want to go beyond what they do. They risk burn-out - in which case they can't do their job anymore - or they move on - in which case you lose an employee and have to find another one.

"Intern-like conditions" has an undertone of exploitation to it; nobody should be exploited.

I've always been able to buy groceries for a whole family while walking (back when going to a supermarket was still normal), what exactly do you see as the major roadblock for something like that? Bring bags or maybe a (large) backpack and some packing skills, you will be fine. You can even take one of those bag on wheels type things if you cannot or will not carry heavy weights - I certainly have if I knew I needed a lot of drinks for a party or something similar.

The source of main problems (including rearmament, hunger and wars) are systemic problems in Marxian sense. That is, while humanity as a species have the technical and material conditions of solving most of the problems (hunger, most of diseases) and this is called "productive forces" (i.e. the social production in the global scale) in Marxian terminology, the "production relations" (i.e. the private ownership of the means of the production) impeding these productive forces. So, we have the anarchy in the global market. We have tensions between big groups and states. The capitalism, especially in its maturity phase called imperialism (articulated scientifically and clarity by Lenin), is not efficient enough anymore. Don't talk about USSR and China or Cuba, since in reality they were and are all state capitalism. Go back and read Marx, Engles and Lenin, not cheap talk by academic so-called Marxists or radical chic gauche buddies.
I'm sceptical of most of the claimed benefits of crypto but I have to admit that it seems useful for cross-border remittances, bypassing companies like Western Union who have traditionally charged unreasonable rates. Even with processing fees it's usually cheaper to do it via crypto.

Of course not. They've been creating new societal, political and economic problems instead. It's a problem that more energy is wasted on fantasy gold than some decently sized countries. It's certainly messed with GPU sales and creates more e-waste as parts are pushed to the limit 24/7 and need to be replaced more often than they were originally designed. And now companies like GitHub have to deal with scammers trying to abuse free services to mine crypto and consumers have to watch out that the free app they downloaded won't mine crypto in the background using their power and hardware to do it.
Popularity is a huge factor, but so is infrastructure. You need both to make it happen, in my opinion.

I saw it happen in Paris over the last 10 years. Infrastructure used to be bad or inexistent (though not quite bad enough to have 0 cyclists). Then, with a push from the mayor, incentives it started to get better. The real turning points were the 2019 public transportation strike, then the pandemic.

I'm pretty sure the infrastructure came first (though it's still an ongoing project), but the popularity is not to be dismissed. There is something magical about an intersection I used to consider dangerous (because I was cut-off about half the time by a driver not looking) transform into not dangerous without any infrastructure change, because of popularity (drivers now look and stop for cyclists at this intersection).
This is not a promotion, this is making you to do something you have no experience with and making you do the job what the fired person done besides yours. Also being responsible for the whole IT infrastructure alone is definitely what I would not do without any experience.

If that’s how the company handles this, I would start to look for a new job immediately.

It helps to put some perspective in when saying they are heavier and more powerful. A typical cyclist can put out around 250w of power for a short duration, a US street legal ebike will do 250-750w. An average American male weighs ~200lbs, a typical mountain bike or cruiser will be 20-25lbs, a commuter type ebike will be 65lbs. A road bike, or road style ebike would be lighter, a cargo bike would be heavier. So an ebike weighs ~15% more overall, but combined with someone pedaling has 2-4x the power of a regular bike.

Compared to a Tesla model 3 performance, it weighs 4250lbs, 16x as much, rated for 350kw, 350x the power. Even a Smart car one of the smallest cars in the US weighs ~8x as much and has 60x the power of an ebike.
In 99% of cases, people who pretend they are solving the "global money problem", in fact, are solving their personal money problem.

I think the equivalent for the majority of Australians really is Christmas. Americans tend to see extended family on Thanksgiving, whereas Christmas (for those who observe it) tends to be a smaller affair more likely to be spent with immediate family only. By contrast, Australians are much more likely to see extended family at Christmas. Also, our traditional equivalent to the Black Friday sales is the Boxing Day sales, which is another way in which Australian Christmas = American Thanksgiving. Very many secular Australians celebrate Christmas in a completely secular way, with no religious component.

Of course it is not entirely equivalent, in that Thanksgiving is a more religiously inclusive holiday than Christmas is. While there are people with a religious objection to both, there are many more with a religious objection to the later but not the former.

In some places not a lot. Some parts of the great plains have basically swapped Bison for cattle, and keep a vaguely similar ecosystem. However much more of this area is degraded due to have far too much cattle there too often. Bison used to graze and migrate, churning up the ground and adding fertilizer, and then letting things re-grow.

Other livestock land is completely different from its 'wild state'. Cattle ranching in what used to be the Amazon. Sheep herding in European uplands, also takes place on land that used to be forest and temperate rain forest.

Another feed in to the large percentage of land that goes towards livestock, is growing animal feed. The majority of cattle in the US is not just eating grass. It is eating crops that are grown specifically for feeding to cattle. So those fields of corn, that are then fed to cattle could also go back to their 'wild state'.
Hi, maintainer of the crate

The formal verification comes from [fiat-crypto](https://github.com/mit-plv/fiat-crypto), which generates the Rust code of the underlying Curve25519 field arithmetic. Correctness is checked by Coq.

Mention of fiat-crypto was included in the original posts on Reddit/Lobste.rs but seems it was missed in this cross-post.
Here's what to do in the first few weeks:

1. Require not 1, but 2 people, for hire, right now. It will take a long time until it gets approved, HR does their thing, and you (or someone else) hire people to help you.

2. Document, as fast as you can, all of the assets in your environment. Don't waste time on looking for software. Plain text or spreadsheet will do for start.

3. Identify the most important assets (servers, network devices, etc) - and try to understand what are your priorities for each. For example, availability for your frontend servers. Confidentiality and integrity for your server storing PII. Based on this, you'll understand what are your biggest risks. Would it be a business disaster if your website is down for few hours? Likely not. What about if the PII is compromised and you get huge fines and be in the news? More likely.

4. Find out who has the access to the most important assets, and cut off anyone who doesn't really need it.

5. Establish some sort of monitoring for the most important assets.
I don't view backups and DR as wholely distict things.

DR is a set of policies and procedures that cover backups. That are inextricably linked

It's not hard, it's just not what you're talented towards and what you absorbed as a child.

You can absolutely learn it, just like a people person can learn machine learning: Slower, methodically and with lots of repetition. And IMHO it's generally worth it even if you won't ever be a master. Nerds with social skills do have a superpower there.

- Never eat alone (Keith Ferrazzi)

- Conversation Tactics (Patrick King)

Speaking only for Bitcoin, that's a leverage against state monopoly on money issuance.

Regardless of the church you subscribe to (deflationary spiral of death VS austrian hard money libertopia), the fact remains that people:

- want to save value for later,

- want it to be liquid,

- want it to be secure

Govs' monopoly on money and ad-hoc issuance policy does not make fiat currencies a good fit. Physical gold is hard to secure, transport and partially liquidate. Gold certs and all sorts of funds are subject to counterparty risk that we begin with (see the history full of abuses in that realm). Real estate is expensive, comes with high taxes and is very far from being liquid.

Bitcoin solves all these issues because it's far more liquid and easier to secure than gold or real estate. That creates a leverage against how much gov could inflate their money supply or tax other assets: they more they do, the more value flows out into Bitcoin. Today Bitcoin is a tiny slice of the pie, but in the future it may be very visible and offer real competition and make all the people who do not even use Bitcoin find themselves in a more stable fiat environment as a result.

I wouldn't contest that no crypto engineer "seriously believes NIST P-curves are backdoored", but I know some high profile crypto engineers who seriously think and demonstrate how they might be flawed and could have been backdoored since day one. [1] [2]

It's almost impossible to prove they were backdoored, but considering the sensitivity of the subject, I understand why many consider this unknown a reason to distrust NIST P-curves.
