> There would be no harm in jumping to 30% Nuclear as an interim target.

That is something we agree on. In fact, I believe there is no way we can go full electric transportation without a massive shift into nuclear energy.

With regards to the ocean article. One must understand something very important in order to understand the significance of this article. Two simple questions:

How did atmospheric CO2 increase when humanity was not around or was insignificant?

Huge forest fires over tens of thousands of years has been the primary source of CO2 released into the atmosphere.

How did it go down?

Trees grew back and weather. Again, over tens of thousands of years, trees, vegetation, grew and captured carbon. In addition to this, rain, cyclones, weather, water, precipitated CO2 into the oceans.

Absent Star Trek technology, the planet locks CO2 into trees and water.

> Co2 extraction, which would be expensive but definitely feasible

No, it is not. There isn't an single proposed solution that can show real data on CO2 extraction at a rate that would align with a reduction of 100 ppm in 50 years (1000 x faster than the natural baseline). Go look for one. Look for the math. This does not exist.

> If the US started right now, they could triple capacity and get to 60% Nuclear within 30 years. Renewables could add another 20% - and then you have 'no more Co2'.

What? Where do you think CO2 comes from? Just energy generation? In California, for example, 25% of CO2 contribution comes from forest fires.

You cannot get to zero CO2 emissions. That's another myth. Not sure who is pushing that one. It's just silly. Sorry.

> Second - your statements that 'It would take 10 000 for Co2 to all to normal levels if we dissapeared' is just not true. First of all, is false. You can't just use 'high school math' because on that timeline there are other, major forces at play. But even if it did take 10 000 years, it's not very helpful.

First of all, you are misquoting. I did not say 10K years. I said 50K to 100K.

Second. You are, quite literally, saying that 800,000 years of highly reliable ice core atmospheric composition data is false. Seriously? Please show me the data you use to base this assertion on. Really. Ice core sampling is some of the most accurate records we have on atmospheric composition. They are so accurate (I checked, years ago, because I wanted to be sure) that the data is irrefutable.

So, reliable atmospheric records going back 800K years --when humanity WAS NOT AROUND OR WAS INSIGNIFICANT-- says it takes 50K to 100K years for a 100 ppm reduction...and you say this is false? Do explain. You must have equally irrefutable scientific data at hand. All I can offer is eight hundred thousand years of accurate atmospheric composition metrics.

Sorry my friend, I am trying to tell you most people are part of a the cult of climate change rather than the scientific reality of it. Your claim that 800K years of data is false only serves to prove my point. Sadly.

Just do one thing for me and, if you are able to do this, I'll change my point of view: Invalidate 800K of atmospheric data showing how the planet behaves without humanity. I'll wait.
Punched tape, OTOH, is too easy to read.
i'm pretty certain that most of OXOs sales are due to the fact that many grocery stores just have one little section of kitchen tools and only carry that brand.

> However, it might as well happen that this is not enough to keep security issues from happening. Things are already moving in a direction where it's absolutely expected that a developer understands and takes responsibility for every line of code that is included in their prodiuct, whether they wrote it themself or not. But if that happens, it will fundamentally change the way we deal with libraries and how software ecosystems work.

That's one of the differences between coders and engineers.

Coders just import libraries to avoid re-inventing the wheel. Engineers consider each import as a dependency they'll have to maintain, buy support for or replace. Log4j just highlighted this difference, with some knowing exactly what to patch and others franctically trying to determine if one of the thousands of dependencies they imported into their app actually used it.

> Yes, free software devs can smugly repeat their stance of "it's a gift so don't complain, no guarantees about anything" - but if everyone took this serious, no one could use free software for anything critical, so the free software movement would be mostly dead.

There's a simple alternative: hire the devs.
Hasn’t it always been corporate interests in academia? Stanford was a joke when it was founded, MIT was being petitioned into becoming a tech school. Patrons of sciences have always been funded by private interests, there isn’t any corruption.

> This 'public-private' partnership situation has corrupted American academics, placing the profitability of research well ahead of the accuracy and reliability of research.

Private profitability research is no different. I don’t understand what you mean by losing accuracy, for some research corporate hardware or copyrighted work is required or the best choice.

I thought they gave the ability for other pharma to make the mRNA drugs that require incredible investment, to make it seem open.

Most of the information we mentioned is out there now. But it’s much more fun watching tiktoks and liking posts.

My city has dedicated anti suicide infrastructure and it’s one of the happiest places on Earth. It means nothing.

Why does it amaze you that companies want to keep user data when we know it's extreamly valuable?
The Indian government wanted iPhones to be made in India under Indian standards. I mean, the factory is literally in their country. If they want something to be done about it they can do it themselves.
i don't understand why people comfortable with running a vps bother with these cloud services.

i use pass https://www.passwordstore.org/ git sync'd (encrypted) to a $5/month vps that also runs many other things. you could even get a free one from large cloud providers.

pass has lots of clients for all kinds of platforms, works really well (how could it not? it's just a thin wrapper around git + gpg) and i don't have to worry about anything like the topic at hand.

what am i missing?
Without warrant or accountability?

How would they go on about infecting a PC?

Crazy that the app stores play along.
You know? I know the site by name, mostly by comments from some german sites I visit. Telepolis.de, mostly, but this controversy popped up elsewhere. I just spent about 30 minutes there, and skimmed the headlines, abstracts, and saw they published articles stating climate change is anthropogenic also. Though they stated explicitely that's not 'their' position.

Furthermore, one big fart, or many smaller belches of volcanic activity can change/tilt/whatver all the interconnected systems in other ways. Then what?

Anyone who argues this, has no place in a marketing-war of ersatz-beliefs.

Personally I prefer riding around the Georgia Guidestones on Blucifer.

Yeehaaw!

No. I bought it 25 years ago in a game store called "Games Unlimited" in Pittsburgh, PA.
No - but there are good ways and bad ways to use the VAERS data. The linked paper is a perfect example of the bad ways for all of the reasons laid out in that post. Of course researchers should be questioning the safety and side effect profile of vaccines -- but that doesn't mean that everyone who purports to do so is acting in good faith or has the capabilities/expertise to do so.
Those people then should all be scrutinized to see if they have ever viewed source in a browser. I'm betting a large portion of society including the prosecutor and the governor have viewed source in the browser themselves.
> Also, this was a web-based test, conducted at home, where the participants self-selected into the survey. There is no universe in which this should be considered unbiased data.

You know, I was kinda in agreement with you until you said this. Please read the paper (which had absolutely no information about the Covid stuff in the docs or signup forms.)

Like, one could argue that the major selection factor was whether or not the subject watched TV, which would be fair but not germane to this particular argument.

In fact, the Covid stuff was added after the study had started, and they did a follow-up survey in December 2020 and of the people who reported later Covid, they were indistinguishable from the overall population.

Like, I agree that this would have been much much better if they'd had access to the NHS data and could have joined with the cognitive test data and I personally am not convinced of their modelling approaches, but there's a tradeoff between enough data to estimate important effects, and the accuracy of said data, especially when it comes to medical conditions.

Is your argument that people would preferentially report Covid-19 and throw the intelligence test? Or something else?

Like, this paper has a bunch of problems, but the main effect is not that surprising. The real question is how generalisable the findings are to other viral infections. That's something that hopefully will get investigated more over time.

Blind to what? He was guilty.

White boys don’t do hard time for hiding in the closet to copy the library’s computer.

The judge appears to be a conservative old navy man. I haven’t dealt with him, but I think I’ve been in front of the type. Trial would go something like this: On the morning of day 3, so before the second day of testimony, the judge calls the attorneys into chambers and lays into them, sometimes loud enough for half the courthouse to hear, for wasting everyone’s time on such a stupid case, and that the prosecutor better have really good evidence of hard damages otherwise he’s going to be pissed. And then you go out, talk to your clients, and settle.
Well, it does have the feature of apparently being trivial to build (i build it with just qmake && make) as it only needs Qt5 (of course then you also need to build Qt5 if you don't have that, which will have a ton of dependencies for itself).
> Yet people who are vaccinated can still transmit the disease.

They're over ninety percent more likely than their unvaccinated counterparts to remain uninfected, in which case they will not transmit the disease.

The questions regarding reduced viral shedding among the infected but vaccinated, and how much that effects that population's transmission rate, is interesting but probably secondary, I would think. (I don't know quite whether those were all rhetorical questions or something you wanted a dissertation on :D )
He made it out! You made my day. Nah. My month! The backstabbing and minimizing and rewriting of history that happened with him and Twitter is such a trigger for me lol.

Edit: Unfortunately, that’s a different Noah Glass. Olo was founded in 2005. Noah was working for Odeo in 2005-2006. We can only imagine what the other cofounders would’ve done to Olo based on how he was thrown out of Odeo/Twitter.
Several people have reported that if you tried to log on from a new IP with incorrect master password, then you got an email saying that someone tried to log on using your master password even though that was not the case.
Ah I always assumed it was some strange data race in Arc or something.
Do you have a place I can read about myocarditis rates?
Good point, but addressable:

Simply decouple the relationship definition and referential integrity check, allowing a user to drop the referential integrity check if desired, but keeping the relationship definition.

I cannot see why you would not want to at least always store the information a certain table/column(s) references some other table/column(s) in the data model. Enforcing referential integrity is probably good in general too, but I agree you might need to disable it for some FKs, in some databases, like PostgreSQL before they got FOR KEY SHARE locks.

George Washington by all accounts was a rebel traitor (in the best way possible). Should we see whatever words of wisdom he had? What would he see in our government today?
My take: ABSOLUTELY! 74kb or image data? Probably not. But unzipping, parsing/JITting/running/whatever that large of a payload.... on crappy 3 year old low-memory Android devices... yes. That is going to lag.

Not too long ago, Google tried to push AMP on all of us because devs were getting way too careless with their bundle sizes. We're still not to a decent place just yet. Internet speeds in The United States, Europe and populated Asia may be growing but there's an entire world that are still at "slow-3G" speeds.

According to the article, charges haven't been filed yet. Likely the DA is very closely examining the letter of the law with an expert right now to see if they have a reasonable case. A judge wouldn't be involved until there's a trial. Even then, the judge doesn't have to play a role in deciding if the defendant is guilty or not (see bench trial vs trial by jury). If there is a trial, in either case, there would likely be an expert witness testifying.

‘You literally cannot pay for it. If you do, it becomes something else.’ This is mot true and imho misleading. You can pay for GPL software. Many people do pay a lot for FOSS software. You can pay devs that develop GPL software. And it will still be FOSS. Payments do not change wether software is FOSS or not.
And it sounds like he was perfectly aware of this. This feeling of being "not really a man" can be overwhelming, and I feel like this is an incredibly toxic thing perpetuated by our culture.

It's possible to spend an entire lifetime trying to prove the opposite of this statement to the world, and most importantly oneself, and fail at this impossible task. But the saddest part is that because the majority of people think in these "man/boy" terms it's easy to start thinking that all people do.

The next step is to consider oneself hopelessly broken and unworthy of affection, and dismiss any real friendship as a pity party. And yet: there was an outpouring of love and sadness following aaronsw's suicide. So perhaps living up to the stereotype of manliness is not the most important thing in the world.

If I'm understanding correctly, a whole bunch of credentials, like IAMs, DB passwords, Steam keys, and MailChimp keys were lying around in S3 buckets.

But I don't understand the use case, what would be the purpose of uploading those details into S3 buckets? Or I suppose I'm trying to reverse engineer the situation where the dev/ops team decided to do this.

Cool concept! Keeping the selections to Yes / No is a good choice. Would you consider opening up a comments section after answering so people can discuss further?

Something I noticed is that the footer leaves the bottom of the page and comes up to around the middle of the page after submitting an answer. Plenty of SO solutions for that.
Another thing, this makes things harder to reverse.

Some engines have join-order-dependent performance, so there are instances where you would want to write

```
FROM orders
LEFT JOIN customers USING (customer_id)
```

and others where you'd want to write

```
FROM customers
RIGHT JOIN orders USING (customer_id)
```

Swapping join order with current syntax is relatively easy since references in the same FROM clause are interchangeable. But in this proposal, the reference to the joined table isn't written out, so it would be pretty complicated to reverse join order.
> Numerous countries did not blink an eye, and did not panic either.

'Panic' can mean anything you personally want it to, so of course there will be countries that match your criteria.

Is wearing masks at the theatre panic? If you hate masks, yes! If you don't, no? Is requiring that foreign travelers have a negative test before admission at the border panic? Depends on where you stand. Is discouraging travel before vaccines were available panic? Well, that depends on whether or not you own a hotel! Is requiring that employers provide COVID sick days panic? Depends on your political view on labour relations. Eviction moratorium? Depends on whether you are a landlord!

> In such high numbers that you need dedicated anti suicide infrastructure?

>This very clearly isn’t some kind of regular workplace with otherwise reasonable conditions.

Or maybe "suicide + apple factory" gets clicks/comments (like this article/thread), leading apple to install preventative measures to make it look like they're doing something. I seriously would still like to see statistics before jumping to conclusions either way.
Yep, the counter-suit would be the angle I'd hope they'd pursue. "YOU exposed PII, you are in breach... no one 'broke into a system'"... but as others are mentioning in this thread, the article doesn't explicitly say the reporter is being charged. So I'm probably getting my blood-pressure up for no reason.
Never had an issue with this. Change your shell prompt to include the history line number. Remember, it's session dependent - if you have two simultaneous shells, the command number can be the same across both of them (so don't expect it to always work across different terminal sessions).
That is a possible description of their thinking, but what is it based on?
It is, but what's between your legs plus all the secondary sexual characteristics (which are extremely difficult to disguise / imitate) are a big part of it. Not sufficient, but necessary.
> What I want to know is have I been compromised or not,

They have been extremely clear that they have not found any signs of compromise. Did you miss that?

Of course no company can technically guarantee that they have not being compromised. If you are looking for someone telling you at any point they are 100% confident no user accounts have been compromised, then you will pick a company lying to you.

It was! There used to be a beginner's guide that was much easier to follow than the current installation guide.
The guy found keys in a lock, knocked on the door and said hey I found your keys in your lock you better figure out a way not to do that again since someone who had intent to do bad things could have come along instead of me.
Probably although based on my understanding maybe not as risky as it might seem based on what's been done. I agree it's an issue and I don't mean to minimize it, but at the same time there's good evidence location is much more fuzzy than it seems. At some level it's nontrivial because it has implications for actual causal mechanisms.
There's a few reasons, none of them good.

Likely the answer is gross incompetence.

If I were to give them the benefit of the doubt and provide the most defensible reason to have an image that contains AWS credentials, you could theoretically use long-term (i.e. user) AWS credentials on an on-premises VM and then export the server image to AWS. When you rehost the server in EC2, you would switch to an instance role per best practices. And then you forget to delete the image stored in S3.

Still doesn't explain why the S3 bucket is publicly available. But that's one reason a server image with long-term credentials could end up stored in an S3 bucket.

Unlikely that the image was an EBS snapshot or AMI. While those are technically housed in S3, you can't access them from the S3 console. And they didn't brag about accessing the EC2 console.
Everyone is mentioning error control for shell scripts or "don't use shell scripts", but neither of those are the solution to this problem. The solution to this problem is correctly implementing atomic deployment, which is important for any system using any programming language.

What I like to do is have two directories I ping pong between when deploying, and a `cur` symlink that points to the current version. The symlink is atomically replaced (new symlink and rename it over) whenever the deploy process completes. Any software/scripts using that tree will be written to first chdir() in, which will resolve the symlink at that time, and thus won't be affected by the deploy (at least as long as you don't do it twice in a row; if that is a concern due to long running processes, you could use timestamped directories instead and a garbage collection process that cleans stuff up once it is certain there are no users left).
Haven't checked lately but I bet Yodobashi still has a dedicated Floppy section.

Yes, but what i liked back then was how integrated it felt. Opening any html file opened inside Konqueror, opening a folder with an index.html file showed the page (with a toolbar button to toggle it), back/forward buttons worked seamlessly, being able to drag-and-drop files seamlessly, etc.

Not even Win98/ME (which introduced those features) felt that integrated.
Your data model must be a lot simpler than mine, congrats ;)
Ah, yep. This does work, and prints out both "one" and "two":

printf "echo one\nsleep 3\n" > s1;(bash s1 &);sleep 1 && printf "echo two\n" >> s1

That's interesting. And changing the "sleep 1" to "sleep 4" make it only output "one".
