I like to keep an open mind about these things. But they tend to be metaphysical arguments based on asking lots of questions and just pondering the issue, rather than on testable empiricism. If there is no physical test to prove the point, then it would equally valid for me to say we’re all video game characters, or living in a dream, or conjure up innumerable scenarios, no matter how ridiculous they could all be equally valid. It’s not scientific if it can’t be tested at some level through reproducible experiment. The point Carroll is making is that the atoms in our brain don’t magically float away after we die, and there is no scientific model that would allow that to happen, even through currently unexplained phenomena (like dark matter or weakly interacting particles).

It’s an argumentative fallacy to simply say we don’t know what we don’t know, therefore anything is possible. Rather than on what we currently do know.

How exactly did you arrive at that conclusion?

Why would a consumer product that I can get for $800 would be worth $100k for me, thus justifying overpaying for it? Am I supposed to buy $50k wallet because I take it everywhere now? Or $250k glasses because I wear them all day?
It's hardly unique to Africa, and the opposite exists, too. People do their best to tear down past accomplishments that were previously hailed as special.

Why? I think it's to make themselves feel better in comparison. They get some kind of happiness or satisfaction from elevating their own ancestors, or degrading others'.
Neat paper, but: "Gnomes know each other, to start with, so the problem itself is non-existant, not to mention the price of the solution. Similarly, the Byzantine generals problem was found to be irrelevant at first. Gnomes know who their friends are."

That makes it useless for real world coordination outside of systems run by closed vertically integrated organizations like companies, governments, etc. In the real world you don't know who your friends are. That's the point of Nakamoto consensus, which is AFAIK the only known partial real world solution to this problem. Unfortunately it's grotesquely inefficient and still has failure modes when you assume "irrational" actors willing to burn resources just to destroy the system. That's why I called it a partial solution. I still wonder if an efficient general solution with no subjectivity and no assumption of a sentient or AI operator who can intervene is possible.

This could potentially be better than Raft and friends for geographically distributed consensus or extreme scalability. Raft based systems ultimately end up being limited by the ability of the leader to lead a sufficiently large cluster. In practice with modern server-grade hardware this limit is quite high but it still exists.
Is it possible to design hexagonally laid out keys with the current layout system? It's very hard for me in my late 30s to relearn a keyboard layout, to be honest. I don't think I would have the patience. But this is a very cool idea, and I have never seen it in practice.

Not sure what to think about that one, though.
If we take cars as an example however:

Toyota sells the right to be the exclusive Toyota dealer for my area (city in this case, sometimes smaller or larger areas depending on population) to Joe the Car Dealer. I'm sure Toyota would love if I couldn't get a used Toyota from elsewhere and bring it to my city, as it increases the value of what they're selling to Joe the Car Dealer.

But legally Toyota (and Joe the Car Dealer) can suck it, they can't make it a term of buying a car that I don't bring it cross region, or even that I don't import it from another country entirely (where they may set prices lower as an attempt to maximise marginal revenue from people of different incomes).

I feel media should work more like cars here. Indeed it did, in the past. Disney couldn't stop me buying DVDs from eastern europe, nor could they shut someone down for selling region free DVD players - the most they could do is have the DVD forum not provide DVD standard documentation and licensing stickers to the manufacturers.

Writing Intel SGX Unit Tests with GoogleTest
It's a mathematics of chaos paper/number:

"Two competing effects determine the vertical motion and concentration of particles in this region—gravity pulling them down to the ground and turbulent air that generates drag forces that can lift them up. Researchers often quantify these competing effects by a non-dimensional settling number, Sv, which is the ratio between how fast the particles settle in the absence of turbulence and the characteristic speed of the turbulent air flow near the surface. The conventional wisdom is that when Sv is very large, the effects of turbulent winds on the particle motion can be ignored, while when Sv is very small, the effects of gravitational settling can be ignored."

"our numerical simulations revealed something very surprising; gravitational settling strongly affected the particle concentration profiles in a turbulent boundary layer even when Sv was very small."
This article is just factually wrong.

It alleges repeatedly that Facebook, Apple, Microsoft etc “employ nobody in the OSM community”. They do. Microsoft even employed the founder of OSM, Steve Coast, for a while.

If your criterion is ‘involved in OSM prior to current employment’, I could name a bunch of people currently working for Facebook, Amazon, Snap etc of whom that’s true. (One such person even stood for election to the OSM Foundation board this month.)

But, as others have pointed out, I’d hope we’re more welcoming than that. As far as I’m concerned, if you’re editing OSM you’re part of the community.

The reality is that nobody is paying a subscription to use a chat app. So they have to monetize the same way as always: ads and company bots. And that's at odds with the third-party ecosystem where they'll just block the ads and the company bots. This is just the same thing as always. It just hasn't been ruined yet.

Yes there are jobs that require you to be onsite but you might have to consider switching and I am hiring though for a relatively junior role. I work in the molecular diagnostic industry( COVID test) and you absolutely have to be at work if you want to interact with hardware. There are plenty of other companies out there in the medical/ biomedical/ space(astranis)/ auto( Tesla/Ford) that require you to be present at least 50% of your time( hybrid). I can help you guide you in that regards if you would like. This is assuming your are a software engineer employed here in the us. All other cross functions(Marcom, accounting) is still remote.

Operating at such deep levels and high temperatures presents many challenges that can be avoided with lower overall temperatures and shallow wells.

Eg: My residential well is at least +32F whilst the ambient outside temperature is -40F. I know this through observation of water flowing out of my tap and an outdoor thermometer. This provides a temperature difference of >72F which can be extracted through simple heat converters and then multiplied by compression to achieve temperatures sufficient for steam production. By exploiting the physical properties of steam condensation vast amounts of energy can be produced during this state change.

I understand this report is directed towards large scale energy production with 30 year+ timelines but believe smaller decentralized solutions have many benefits over these large projects.

I also do not understand why "Closed-loop" terminology is implying that this system is something new or distinct as all geothermal systems to my knowledge use closed loop systems to prevent environmental damage.(Other than possibly a water wheel at Yellowstone?)

new thread by using goroutine to "fork" the current process, so it could spawn the notepad.exe safely.

Gen-IV forum is a worldwide consortium with a long-standing effort in making nuclear fission viable for the second half of this century. It is less glamorous than fusion but much steadier, and at least three of the six Gen IV reactor designs under development are now approaching the technical readiness level for demonstrators. China and Russia are a bit ahead, to be fair, but the European Union is also doing well with their sodium and lead fast reactor concepts. This white paper just shows they care about more issues than blunt commercial viability. Also consider that they cannot rely upon Russian gas for much longer, and that the C02 zero emission target for 2050 is going to be tough, without nuclear (if they put it into the incoming tassonomy). United States are more pragmatic, and with a dual path: big national laboratories + commercial startups.

The post claims both that some companies contribute to OSM and that they do not employ anyone from the OSM community.

There is some level of gatekeeping here, as the blog implies is that that employees at those companies are not part of the OSM community although they contribute to OSM.

With this attitude ("no true OSM contributor unless I approve of"), it is hard to grow the community by welcoming new people.

Black Panther...was a good movie? And people liked it? I'm a little confused about your "in the media" comment--wouldn't the box office receipts represent, you know, what the market actually liked?

I'm not sure what any of this has to do with revisiting _actual_ history, which (as https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2019/06/27/medieval-africa-... points point) had been often significantly misrepresented.

There's a painting of the Congolese ambassador to the Dutch Republic in the Danish National Gallery (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portrait_of_Don_Miguel_de_Cast...). The history of this painting reflects the significant political power held by West African kingdoms--I for one (having had a standard American historical education) was struck by how little I knew about the complex cultural and political institutions in sub-Saharan Africa before and during the early slave trade.

In a way, it's not surprising; as David Graeber wrote in "Debt", it was culturally convenient for Europeans--who at the time in many ways appeared quite culturally backwards!--to misrepresent the power and cultural dynamics and justify their own barbarism. In that light, while we certainly should hold research everywhere to the same evidentiary standards, we shouldn't be surprised to learn about more sophisticated cultural histories in Zimbabwe as well, or other places skipped over by the standard history.

(Another odd aspect of my American education: I was given the distinct impression that civilization went from Greece to Rome to Enlightenment Europe to America. Strange how nobody questioned who preserved the thinking of all those Greek philosophers after the fall of the Western Roman Empire.)

But just because you don't know something--just because the history you were taught must be revised--doesn't make it revisionist history.
Thanks for the feedback. We will definitely introduce our own review system in the future, but I still think that there is room for a trusted review aggregator. Most people spend hours doing product research and visit many different websites before they have the confidence to buy.

Take Honey as an example of what we want to do:
People use it to run coupon codes as it's faster than going through all the websites and copy/pasting themselves.

We're doing a similar thing for product research: Instead of visiting many websites to do all the tedious work yourself, you can check our analysis of what the internet thinks about a product.
Is that a rhetorical questions or you genuinely seek to expand your knowledge?

In case it’s the latter, then your slant of:

> northern Mediterranean/Nile influenced groups

is weird. Many European cultures were influenced by the Romans, who were influenced by the Greeks, who were influenced by other cultures. The flow of ideas across time and space is what actually gives rise to civilizations.

So what if an African civilization was influenced by another civilization? Does that make it less meaningful?

As for what civilizations Africa had, you can read about Kerma/Napata/Kush/Nubia, Aksum, Kongo, Swahili coast, Ghana/Mali/Songhai, Kanem-Bornu, Egypt, etc. However, I suspect you have your mind made up, hence the dismissive “Or was it primarily tribal conquering/uniting?”
