If the air travel has become cheaper, why?

I'd say that combustion engines / turbines are so cheap to operate only because the cost of the fuel is the cost of drilling + refining + transportation, and it lacks the cost of exhaust.

Now that the exhaust started to have a very real cost for the environment, it should start passing that cost to the engine operation.

Estimating this cost is, of course, not very easy, but rough estimates can definitely be made. Levy a CO2 tax, and spend it exclusively on measures to fight the consequences of the global warming, like building dams around coastal cities.
When's the launch date? I couldn't find a definitive answer, as both December 18 and December 22 are listed.
eBird, iBird Pro (UK), BirdNet, Merlin, PlantNet, and iNaturalist are my go-to apps for general outdoors adventures and casual walks. I like snapping pictures and posting on iNaturalist because the community and citizen scientists will help you ID birds, reptiles, plants, flowers, insects, etc. iBird is great for bird ID from pictures and a library of sounds.

The pandemic also brought more awareness of my local flora and fauna for me as well.
If you were diagnosed clinically obese and at risk of heart disease would you carry on eating pork pies until you died, or abstain until there is a suitable pork pie alternative?

A bad example maybe, but the market isn't the solution to everything.

You sound like you're fun at parties /s.

If we're looking at the US, "already sick with chronic preventable illnesses causes by poor lifestyle choices" is >50% of our population, so I would say a majority of people care (here). Our society and businesses have done a pretty good job making sure most people don't have the time available to make the right choices.
When omicron and delta mate and produce offspring

While there can be recombinations of some similar viruses, that's not the common way that viruses propagate, and it's not mating. Point mutations are much more common. And if they do recombine there's no reason to (automatically) expect that the results will be the worst characteristics of both.
Fair enough. I suppose phpBB is kindof out of style these days. Maybe web4 will bring it back to some degree.

I suppose another solution that is lighter weight and battle hardened, assuming one just wanted identity management would be to put Lam Pro (paid app) in front of OpenLDAP. That way you can support any extensions required.
If I evades vaccines for more dangerous variants, I'm not convinced catching it will make me immune to those variants either. It might actually be different enough to be independent.
Popularity != most suitable. Might as well advocate LAMP, Java, JS/Node, and Mongo too.

It will be a bottleneck for anything real.

Plus, it's old and doesn't do what Envoy does. Nginx isn't a full-featured, live-reconfigurable L7 ingress RP. It's a toy.
With all the stuff like runahead and frame delay showing up in Retroarch I'm not convinced that the latency thing is even true except if we're confining ourselves to low-powered devices.
Are they writing papers or grant applications? I'm speaking specifically about papers.

I work for one of the OS makers and we have been making a concerted effort to get rid of memory safety issues across the codebase. I'm not sure if the open-source side of things are attempting similar efforts but as far as consumer OS's I have seen a lot of improvement over the last 10 years.

I feel bad for anyone working in an org that doesn't have the ability to proactively find bugs in their stuff. Lots of places are cheap and don't account for the debt they accrue by not updating their systems. 'if it aint broke don't fix it' doesn't apply to software. What you are shipping is always broken. 'safe' languages are written in unsafe languages. The interpreter has bugs, the vm has bugs, the virtualization stack has bugs, the OS has bugs, the libraries to do everything have bugs. What is there and what is known are both moving targets. If you are not hiring the offensive minded individuals who will find the bugs with or without your support then you will not know about the bugs until they are out in the wild. If you aren't willing to pay those people you are accruing debt that will come due later.
IIRC windows 9x would instantly bluescreen if you tried to open c:\con\con , probably because of a bug in the filesystem driver.
December 22, delays are always possible but it's not going to launch earlier than that ("no earlier than" is often abbreviated "NET" in that context).

So the 15 million impoverished white people are just lazy but the 8 million impoverished black people are systematically deprived of opportunity? It's so strange to me that SJWs feel the need to minimize the struggles of groups that are facing the same obstacles as the groups they are advocating for just because they have a common skin color with the majority of the affluent group.
December 22nd; they were aiming for the 18th but there was a small issue that required a bit of additional testing so they pushed it back to the 22nd.

Google started to go to shit around '08 or '09, allowing their results to be taken over by ad-spammers and a handful of top sites. At the same time, that's about when they adjusted search to make it extremely hard to narrow in on something obscure, even if you know for a fact it's there (this used to be a thing one could reliably do, with some guesswork about word and phrase rarity in the target page and in link text pointing at the target page).
The gish gallop of the person I was responding too, of numerous paragraphs and links, took time out of my life to parse... and turned out to be a SINGLE PERSON found with a gun on capitol grounds not even in the capitol.

It's as disengenous, demonizing of a group, and sensational as it gets.

This poster is also using the same single person as their data point for the motivations of the entire group of protesters.

This is a good example of the type of discourse social media allows by making all arguments equal no matter how accurate the argument is.
An interesting read that has a lot of face value for me, but I wonder if the "R" and "E" typings are stable through life, and how amenable are they are to change?

The article comes across like "R" and "E" are set characteristics--almost like a personality trait. I'd really like to longitudinal see data on R/E mobility, and how fluidity between R/E types might be related to team cohesion overall.
Nuclear and solar energy can get us there.

The endgame would be reproducing the plants cycle: grab atmospheric CO2, turn it into fuel (jet fuel instead of sugars), burn it, rinse, repeat.
I mostly use it for unit conversions in equations. It's very handy, though sadly requires access to the internet and is sometimes rather slow.

`units` works too, but doesn't do the same job of solving equations.

That is my main political issue, but it comes with a major cavaet: where do you put the dividing line between humans? It is not as obvious as you might think, as both sides of the abortion comes down to the rights of the individual.

This is really cool. Use of GPT-3 to augment OCR is an amazing (and, retrospectively, obvious) insight and a great immediate use case for these language models.

I wish Remarkable took this idea -- they really oversold their OCR capabilities[1]. It works great in their support and promo videos, but I found the actual performance to be absolutely terrible.

Those numbers don’t seem to adjust for population size, wonder what the numbers are per capita. Here in NL cargo bikes are extremely common for transporting kids.
At one point I lost interest in both and ML/AI in general. I think eventually I got frustrated with the insane amounts of abuses for marketing purposes and never truly delivering what was promised(I know, I know, fake it till you make it). For better or worse far too few managed to make it, so most stuck with faking. I think I lost interest completely around 2019. But even back then they were starting to seem like twins - practically identical with some minor but sometimes subtle differences. Looking at random sections of the documentation, all you gotta do is ignore the semantics...

The Clairefontaine paper used in Rhodia's Rhodiarama notebooks are also excellent. The soft cover Rhodiarama are some of the best paper for really watery inks.

It has handy feature of detachable pages too.
I’ve heard an interesting hypothesis that one of the reasons inflation had been so low in the last decade was because of the price discovery and competition that the Internet provided. Big retailers tend to offer price matching with sites like Amazon and Newegg. Not only does this make it difficult to compete on price, it has the effect of leveling the prices across the market and keeping them in sync.

Members of my extended family are small business owners and they frequently have to explain that they simply cannot match online prices. So, profit margins have been going down steadily on sales.

I sense there is a lot of pent up price hike pressure all across the economy. If you’ve been struggling with lower margins and higher costs, the obvious answer is to charge more. What better time to do so than when everyone is expecting it? And, once you have made the decision to raise prices, why not be a little more aggressive because the opportunity to do so doesn’t come along very often?

Just my two cents.
So you just presented the priorities of the US. Military and space domination.

That's the problem: evolution drives life otherwise Evolution wouldn't exist.

Now we circumvent already things evolution purports like the strongest survivies. We also compensate for errors or flaws like eye sight, mental illness etc. We question eating meat. We cook meat. We self control and we evolved evolution by inventing the internet (highspeed human interconnect) and computers. Potentially the internet itself with all it's inputs (blogs, comments, news), processing power in-between and outputs will become a new thing.

We also do not support not lifing. If I would tell my parents that I want to stop/end my life I would not be allowed.

Why? Because of course the only true answer can be that lifing is good.

Now let's question this: we have no impact (universe will disintegrate), we have a lot of pain in the world, we can't guarantee to anyone that they will ha e a good life and there is no purpose in life either besides the purpose you create for yourself.

We can't ask someone if they want to be a life before they get born either.

In my logic the most social thing would be to be aware of everything around you and stop creating new brains to entertain yours.

How many brains in agony are okay? What is the perfect ratio? 1:10000? 1:100?

Making kids is not a logical answer it's an evolutionary one.

Lucky enough for our society my type of thinking will not propagate much anyway.

This is one of the reasons why I avoid log4j and log4net like a real weirdo. People use a logging framework because they are supposed to--so we can send logs to something sensible instead of paying a billion dollars to suck files from an ec2 instance into Splunk. We use log4j and still spend a GDP on splunk sucking in files.

99% of these people running around with their hair on fire could have just wrote to a log file with three lines of code. Instead they mvn a whole fucking library for no reason.

Well, they were supposed to. It's the right thing to do, according to some blog posts.

Ponzi aside, when you need to pay someone to do something you are communicating that the task is inherently unpleasant. Otherwise why would you need to pay someone to do it?

As a producer I may be able to bribe them with tokens to do something (views, votes, followers, etc.), but I'm not buying authentic engagement.
That sounds a lot like Wikinews.
The DM screen caps in this post are beyond damning. I didn’t realize Analogue’s business practices were this shady but I guess that is to be expected from all large corporations.

The doctor who found it, isn't a psychic. She doesn't have any information the rest of us don't. She's just describing her personal experience.

And her experience is entirely consistent with Omicron appearing less virulent because it's infecting the previously infected and vaccinated who already have some degree of immunity.
The section on alternative energy storage (e.g. compressed air) was also really neat.
80% of hospitalizations and death globally or in the US specifically?

Globally that is one thing, but if that data point is in the US, then the baseline population is something like 60-70% overweight/obese to begin with. In which case, that elevation from baseline isn’t as significant as implied.
Why were they there? To support overturning the results of the vote. That's at least in intent an insurrection.

That's more understandable, at least to my retrogaming enthusiast eyes. A reproduction cart is trying to look like the original cart and provide the sense of physical connection to the work[0] that ROMs just don't give you. The Analogue Pocket does not really resemble the devices it emulates, and while it can provide a means to play original carts, one can get original devices for the same or less cost that will also do so and be more authentic.

Which is not to say there's no reason to own an Analog Pocket, it's a set of tradeoffs. I just personally find those trade offs make very little sense.

Tbf some of this is White House fluff to cover themselves politically. I have family in the beef industry and meat packing is backlogged heavily. Wait times are insane unless you're a big player. So it's no wonder profits would jump when the whole industry is log jammed. Some producers are actually running at a loss and waiting on contract renewals. So the idea that this is all about greed is nonsense.
The word "Fediverse" got some traction a few years ago, and it explicitly meant the connection/federation of disparate platforms through a common protocol (ActivityPub). Now, I couldn't really care less about some 3D dreamscape experience, but to me what Metaverse means is the total interoperability of data and digital resources. That entails decentralization and consensus-based ownership, but not necessarily blockchain tech and VR goggles. The biggest pressure point IMO is bringing down the data silos that we've created to enable people to interact with the internet however they please. Unfortunately, the majority of people investing in the scene are focusing their resources on building another VRChat/Second Life.
Winno is an iOS app that I’ve been using and it’s amazing. They don’t have a web app, however that is in the pipeline. For now you can join their discord server and there is a bot that posts summaries. (Unfortunately the read-more urls are only available within the app)

The only downsides I’ve found is that the only way they make money is buymeacoffee. I haven’t looked into their privacy policy as well.

> "somehow it has become an infosec's employee's fault that the system is not secure."

Yet, it still isn't; elsewhere someone mentioned doctors and by comparison a doctor must pass nationally recognised exams and afterwards take personal responsibility for what they do every day, hold malpractise insurance and risk being struck off medical registers and forbidden from practising again for e.g. incompetence, unethical behaviour, malpractise. What are the equivalent of these in cybersecurity?

Customers or users whose data is stolen in a hack, employees who lost their jobs to a ransomware attack shutting down a company, what equivalent of "medical malpractise" lawsuits can they bring against the infosec team that was employed and paid to keep them safe? Can it even be determined by the harmed people whether the infosec team acted unethically or incompetently vs. sensibly? What reassurance can they take when the infosec employee says "I told them I shouldn't be opening this connection and they made me, so it's not my fault"? Imagine a surgeon performing a surgery they disagree with on a patient because non-medically qualified hospital management told them to. What happens to the security teams who incompetently don't protect against those harms and they carry on to their next job without any obligation to disclose their association? What board of reasonably trusted people is overseeing them, holding them to account, what register can they be struck off? It's "mistakes were made" all the way up to the CEO.

I don't agree that it's the infosec employee's fault. (Insert popular civil engineering/bridge design comparison here, and the need for a competent qualified senior engineer to sign their name against a design which they can personally be held responsible for).

No one forced you to fact check them and you still seem like you're a bit too frustrated to have a pleasant debate with. It seems if there's one thing we agree on, it's that social media encourages divisiveness. Consider taking some time away from commenting - this is my go-to strategy when I'm hot-headed.

Doubling an offer is a red flag for me too. Blatant lowballing which, in my view as well, is disrespectful.

This “non-competition for 6 months is nothing” is also a red flag, in my view, for the whole tech scene then. It doesn’t make it right, if common as you say, just make the norm wrong.

And you left out of your comment the point that they were not fulfilling a few promises made even before the job had started. Which is a very big part of author’s reason.
I don't find any of this convincing. If there were some way to quantify what you're arguing here, I'd short it.
I'd have loved to see how well this system worked - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Cybersyn
The most frustrating part of all this is that they could afford to hire people to manually do all of this work, they just choose not to, because it saves them money.

If we pressured companies like Google to hire people to do customer support and to review flagged videos manually, it would create more jobs and make using the internet a better experience. But for now, they can just choose not to, and save a buck.
>>It's the restaurants that are doing these conversions. They want this dining space.

Taxpayers own that street. That's why it's silly to give a business that space. A flip side of this is I pull up in my "Food Truck" and park there and sit all day selling my food in front of the restaurant that's in a building just on the other side of the sidewalk. And while I'm at why not set up some tables and chairs on the sidewalk in front of that restaurant?

If it's me that's "doing these conversions" no one should object, right?
