The second study says that the economic benefits of warmer winters in terms of less energy needed for warming homes is economically positive as compared to the costs of cooling homes due to warmer summers etc.

I’m not going to try and fact check the paper, but even accepting it at face value it’s obviously a very narrow view of the overall economic impact of global warming and no one should take this paper and derive the claim that 3C of warming will be good for the economy.

The first link is a response to a criticism of a paper by Richard Tol that has had to be revised twice now and at this point is unclear if, post-correction, it truly supports the thesis, that warming may be good for the economy. Tol is an economist who has stated that warming will be economically positive at higher latitudes and economically negative below these latitudes. His math says if you live north of Montreal you should be better off due to a warmer climate. Those south of Montreal (or Munich/Paris for those of you in Europe) will be negatively affected.

If you live in Alaska, Siberia or Scandinavia you may appreciate this analysis. Myself, not so much. If this is the strength of the support for the case that I shouldn’t be worried about a few degrees of warming, I may be a little less worried than I should be!
Like BMW, you kind of have to qualify that statement by era, though.

Congratulations on the launch!

I like that it's possible to tryout the editor without login.

Could you consider adding some minimalist, text-focused, animation-free, no-framework & accessibility-friendly layouts? It's unlikely that those who are already committed to building minimalist websites would use such a tool, But those who are new to web development and use your tool could get know that minimalism is still an option.

There's a huge difference between having good relationships with your colleagues and being forced to build your social life around your job. One is a basic requirement and the other is a huge problem.

sarscov2 is already over the size threshold where it would mutate too much to survive and spread, so it has an error correcting mechanism, and as a result a much lower mutation rate than many other RNA viruses including the more prevalent smaller coronaviruses.

No, I'm saying go up from the Sea of Cortez. No mountain ranges that way. That region is an active rift zone and with that combined with sea level rise will likely cause sporadic flooding anyway. El Centro is a dozen or two feet below sea level already. The alternative is, what, a toxic dust bowl with little economic value besides a lithium farm and a geothermal plant?

Urm, Netflix is BUILT ON AWS (or at least was 5yr ago):

> I was a very early adopter of that new-fangled Internet. I been connected up since my Coherent days in 1991

If you were a very early adopter of the Internet in 1991... then how should we describe the activities of Douglas Englebert or Vint Cerf 2 decades prior?

1983-85 I dialed into BBS, which was fun, but not as interesting as dialing up and logging into UF servers without credentials, exploring lists and exploiting resources when everyone was asleep. That was 6th-8th grades for me. In Fall of 1989 I was forced to purchase an expensive A/UX license, and I am still enamored with it. Then I was lost in desktop publishing for nearly a decade before my first IT jobs using NetWare in the late 1990s, to using (not admin) RedHat servers in 2001, which happened to coincide with Win2K and Mac OS X desktops I set my team up to use. I utterly spoiled them with 2 desktops each.

+1, I was tempted to cite the 8566B myself.

I know a couple of the guys who worked on that. The in-house code name was "Doomsday." It pretty much was, for the competition.
Toyota Sienna minivan. Having driven only sedans and coupes, and grew up riding in 90s-era SUVs, I was shocked to discover what modern "minivan life" is like... as a parent. For me, my reference for modern is the past two weeks of a mundane 2010 Sienna LE. Every couple days, I notice something new and thoughtful.

The side doors are powered and can be controlled from the remote, since kids won't often open doors for themselves or you.

The last row of seats can fold down flush with the floor, since we alternate between having more cargo space and passenger capacity (like trips with grandparents or for instance, equipment for sports or music).

The car windows come tinted. One less worry/discussion about harsh glare or sunlight on our young kids.

There's a second lighter outlet right beside the first, which is handy for our electricity-dependent lifestyle.

There is a compartment on the driver's side, near your head, that reveals sunglasses.

There are cupholders upon cupholders on every interior panel, which seemed absurd to me, until I saw them used by my own family. And when you've filled them all, pop open the coin tray and a slow reveal unfolds... yet another cupholder, like digging into the hesitation before the punchline of a joke.

Newer minivans cover more use cases, like automatically popping the rear door by waving your leg, or changing the middle row positions to accommodate side-by-side car seats, and I'm curious to see which features have staying power and which don't.

We often applaud elegant solutions to a well-defined problem as a good design, or at least I feel like software engineers tend to, but I have a growing admiration for designs that solve a problem complex enough to resist being defined once-and-for-all. Those problems tend to be "human" problems that are as deep as human psychology and change as our society changes.
Not GP but personally I have found limiting caffeine consumption to help a lot with back pain. More than one cup of coffee (12g of beans) seems to result in exacerbation of any minor back pain I may have on that day. I also now take a day or two off from drinking any coffee after a few days of consumption. With this change, more sleep and some light stretching on some days I no longer have back pain. Oh, I also moved to a firm mattress.
You keep saying “instant”, but in practice ethereum takes a few minutes for finality and can only handle a maximum of 50 tps. I’ll grant that both of those may improve with as zk tech matures, but even with rollups there’s no way of having better finality than ethereum, which is unlikely to ever be better than 60s
> That's the problem with the, "I'll get over it/I'm not worried/My segment of the population doesn't die from it" mentality. The more infections - subclinical, asymptomatic, severe, fatal, undetected - the more rolls of the dice.

The vaccines we're currently using don't prevent infection as they do not provide sterilising immunity. To quote[1] Sunetra Gupta[2], infectious disease epidemiologist and a professor of theoretical epidemiology at the Department of Zoology, University of Oxford:

> The vaccines that we currently employ appear to be highly effective in preventing life-threatening illness but do not meaningfully contribute to the maintenance of herd immunity.

> …we find ourselves trapped by the superannuated conviction that vaccines must block infection as well as disease.

Given that, how is contrasting those who've had vaccines with those who haven't of any relevance? We have other comments in the thread (like this one[3]) pointing out that it could be immuno-compromised people that are the main source of new variants. Right now, they're among the least likely people to have been vaccinated.

It was down when I tried it yesterday.
I loved my Zune as well (it also got stolen, weirdly), not only because of all the reasons above but even the headphones were of excellent quality and lasted as long as the device did (in comparison, both iPod headphones I've owned broke after around 2 months).

The only major flaw it had was a lack of fonts to display unicode characters! I know it was mostly (only?) sold in the US but wanting to display artist names in Chinese or cyrillic characters must surely be a basic feature.

Actually I’d say that height is seldom a content concern in horizontal writing modes; it’s width that’s the important one for content: think the width of a table column, you will choose the width based on the content (and not padding or gap between columns, which is a layout concern).
> Then surely you will understand how an entire subindustry can exist to mop up after engineers who could otherwise 'simply' avoid most mistakes if they just spent more time Googling.

Yes, I'm sure an entire $50 billion dollar industry comes down to, like all your arguments, just lazy people and the simple fix is "Googling".
This is not mindfulness. They actually compared against a mindfulness-based treatment (MBSR) and found their method performed significantly better.

What do you mean? I predict the majority of PDFs on arxiv are generated from latex just based on the fields who mainly use it. In fact many papers contain the tex source files.
My original cast iron pans.

I bought this no-name set of three from a small family-run neighborhood hardware store in Brooklyn for $20 somewhere around 2002. The guy behind the counter was surprised by the price and that they even had cast iron pans. I've used them regularly since. They're the oldest cookware in my kitchen by a large margin.

I've taken them camping, and I cook with then in my kitchen daily. I've cooked any food imaginable in them, from crepes, to patched eggs, to pizza, to all sorts of meats and stews and sauces - on the stove and in the oven. And they still work as well and look like the day I first pre-seasoned them.
This take floats on the assumption that the writers want those that aren't a "good enough cog" replaced. Perhaps the writers want those that react inappropriately negatively to situations get help in order to both improve the efficiency of the system and for the individual's healing? This and other similar takes in the comments section seem to just be anxious projections. Do we really think the authors want to watch the world to burn, or is it more likely they want to help everyone in reality?
It's so wild. The first time I woke up to her hitting and shaking me, she was visibly disturbed by it as I'm sure you were. And here we are our whole lives not even knowing we are doing it!
I tried mindfulness for back pain and it worked, for a short while, while I kept on meditating daily. But it was a struggle. In the meantime I discovered that taking Ca + Mg supplement does away with my pains. No doctor was able to give me this hint, I discovered it by mistake when I took an effervescent pill.
I'm more talking about one company that has their deployment on multiple clouds / on-prem + cloud.
Doesn't using cryptocurrencies just mean you have even more conversion fees?

In the current reality where nobody else uses cryptocurrencies, you're going to be converting at both ends to national currencies (if anything at least to pay tax)

Even in a hypothetic crypto utopia, there's no chance that we'll get one single currency to rule them all, so you're going to have to convert every time you pay for something (every market is going to have it's own currency)

Do not question the paperclip AI.

GP does not "get to decide" but hopes to persuade. One possible grim future is that home solar panels do not displace fossil fuels, but instead suffer the same fate as GPUs: eaten up by cryptocurrencies which produce negligible economic value but have a bottomless appetite through their role as a speculative investment. This is terrible for the climate. How do we avoid it?

So sorry to hear what you were going through. My partner had something similar due to the stress from the pandemic. What helped her the most was actually a regular psychiatrist appointment.

Did you do something specific when you took your time off and saw your symptoms disappear? Curious what helped you the most.
I used to have a large dobsonian telescope made by Orion. It had a good quality mirror. It came with features like automatic tracking.

In general, a dobsonion telescope has a simple design that made it cheap and easier to use compared to other telescope setups. The dobsonion mount also allowed for a large aperture that would have been unwieldy otherwise. For me, it is an example of how complex things can be made simpler and easier to use.

> PS. This is bigger than “fractions of a percent”:

No, it isn't. If you'd bothered to read the content of the link I posted in the comment to which you're replying, you'd see that it's about the same paper.

That paper is mentioned numerous times in the thread you're commenting on, I've linked to it, as have others, and I've cited the absolute effect size: 0.09%.

The paper showed that there was an 11% drop on a baseline infection rate of 0.79%, in a fully unvaccinated population with very little natural immunity. It is the absolute best possible argument for masks, and it showed that cloth masks had no detectible effect, and that surgical masks had an effect size measured in tiny fractions of a percent.
“Magic wand” reveals a colorful nano-world
Fun Fact: UPI also allows certain other interesting kinds of transactions based on "special VPAs". These include:

- IFSC code and account number combination, resolved directly by NPCI, is
represented as account-no@ifsc-code.ifsc.npci (e.g. 12345@HDFC0000001.ifsc.npci)

- RuPay card number, resolved directly by NPCI, is represented as card-no@rupay.npci
(e.g. 1234123412341234@rupay.npci)

The following were proposed, but didn't take off

- Aadhaar number, resolved directly by NPCI using existing Aadhaar to bank mapper,
is represented as aadhaar-no@aadhaar.npci (e.g. 234567890123@aadhaar.npci)

- Mobile number, resolved directly by NPCI using proposed mobile to account
mapper, is represented as mobile-no@mobile.npci (e.g. 9800011111@mobile.npci). Instead of this, many PSPs (PhonePe/BHIM most notably) ended up using mobilenumber@psp by default because of the usability benefit, and this "centralized mobile mapper" was never built afaik.

The following are implemented at some banks:

- When bank itself is the PSP, any account identifier, resolved directly by bank as the
PSP, is represented as account-id@bank-psp-code (e.g. 12345678@icici)

- A one time or time/amount limited tokens issued by a PSP, resolved directly by that
PSP, is represented as token@psp-code (e.g. ot123456@mypsp)

PPIs (Prepaid Payment Instrument - wallets in India) were added to the UPI system quite late, but there's very few who've actually started working. This was also in the original plan:

- A PPI provider issued card number, resolved directly by PPI provider, is represented
as ppi-card-no@ppi-psp-code (e.g. 000012346789@myppi)

There's also some credit card providers that let you pay off your card by using a special VPA (cardnumber@card-issuer). See https://www.wishfin.com/credit-card-payment/how-to-pay-credi... for a list of supported issuers. Unfortunately, this makes compliance a huge hassle because every one must treat VPAs as hazardous (because they can now contain complete card numbers).

I took a trip last month(within India) with about ₹600 cash and returned with ₹560, with UPI for everything from chai to flight tickets. It's just so frictionless.

UPI was built around mobile phones, and a significant part of the trust comes from the KYC that was enforced from the beginning for mobile connections. I'm not sure how well that process will scale across countries and across currencies. Still, with the international partnerships coming up, I'm excited for the possibilities that are presenting in the payments space.
Again, that does not constitute a “Muslim” ban especially as it was portrayed in the media.
I agree. Inedible exciting and rewarding machines, worth the time investment, but it’s still very early. I’m sure I’ll be blown away by what’s possible in ten years or so. Today I’m still babying each print and the machine itself. Jams are the worst.

I don't doubt there is some SEPA fraud but 'huge amount' is something that requires some proof. Personally I haven't seen a single instance and that's with all of my banking details public and many thousands of transactions per year across 10 different bank accounts (three companies, and a bunch of private accounts).
Further, here is landmark position paper from Mayo from mid 2021 [1] on ME/CF. It’s an absolutely brutal disease: absolutely no cure, no treatments, give or take 5% chance of ever beating it, and almost 50% of people are house or bed bound for the rest of their life and even more can’t work.

Graduated exercise (run 1 mile today, 1+X tomorrow) and talk therapy (CBT, etc) have been contra indicated for a few years now and the former can actually make the condition worse.

For something first diagnosed in 1958 (but observed since 1889/1880/1917, and also medieval times) to have absolutely no progress or even a unifying theory of how it works while it’s believed to impact up to a million Americans is absolutely baffling.

ME/CF is a total beast and monster of a disease. That’s why the suicide rates are so high.

Aren't you arguing in favour of capital flight instead of crypto?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_flight

That doesn't really explain why should, say, Sweden or the EU be forced to pay, say, Turkey or Lebanon's ecological footprint of it's capital flight.
- Customer UX: This really isn't as straightforward as you put it. The main issue for customers is that if they loose their wallet, they loose everything. This has to be accounted as part of UX, even making transactions is simple and straightforward.

- Settlement/Certainty time: Blockchains combine these into one. They depends heavily on the specific chain. For some networks, its basically instant. Eth seems to be around a minute or so. Bitcoin is around 60 minutes.

- Reversibility: Agreed, although whether this is good or bad depends on the user.

I like the way it was said in the article, these are all axes of comparison. Consumers choose products based on a set of criteria. For many, irreversibility or the risk of loosing everything due to a lost wallet is a dealbreaker, even if transfers may be much faster than other methods.
That's the very sad thing, it's harder and harder to differentiate phishing from real email campaign, not only because phishing is getting better at imitating real emails, but because real marketing emails are using the same tricks as phishing to have people open the mail and click on links.
