> But that also means that it is on us who have benefitted the most to work harder and invest to address some of these troubling issues. We are doing that with our first climate fund

I’m a bit disappointed with statements like this. “Here is what’s wrong with the world: Climate change and COVID”. It’s such a limited view of the world and unfortunately shared by most of my colleagues and friends, that will likely lead to a lot of suffering when we get punched in the face by a war or human rights tragedy.

For example, no mention of the biggest events in 2021 in “What happened in 2021”, such as the authoritarian and increasingly dangerous China dismantling democracy in Hong Kong, no mention of the complete takeover of Afghanistan by the Taliban in the Middle East. No mention of broken supply chain or the economic catastrophe we are facing, inflation, or the energy crisis in Europe.

While I’m a believer in combating Climate Change, there are real world crises happening right now that people should care about. Not in 10, 15, or 20 years… but standing up for them would take some personal conviction. Ah but hey, look on the bright side, at least crypto is up.
My wife has been reading a book on mushroom foraging. This section on different types of mushroom poisoning was particularly terrifying.

Trichothecenes, symptoms: Multi-organ failure, which can commence soon after exposure (such as through drinking an infusion), particularly bone marrow failure and lamellar desquamation (shredding and reddening) of palms, soles of feet and face. Death may occur.
They’re a danger to themselves and others. I have family members that work in health care that are affected by this. I don’t see why any further justification is necessary.

I don’t agree with those equating this with crimes and prison. Those are not equivalent, these people aren’t criminals and rounding up or imprisoning them is abhorrent. But to participate in society is about obligations as well as rights, and I think withdrawing certain privileges in the face of wilful disregard of one’s obligations is reasonable if it is necessary to protect others.
What “other things” depend on cryptocurrencies which are about something other than selling cryptocurrencies? NFTs are the most common example but their valuations depend on people using the art as a loss leader to sell tokens.

Particularly as there still seems to be quite a disagreement over the dangers of Caesium-137 across the pond.

The English, American sources dominated, Wikiarticle makes it sound mostly benign.

Yet European language articles, like French and German, will be quite a lot more skeptical.

This even goes up to an official levels where afaik the EU has associated more dangers and risks with lower Caesium-137 than their US counterparts, thus the "tolerated levels" of it also vary greatly between the two.
I was replying to your claim that "a street name, a city, a city name etc. are determined by who currently has control on the ground [...] the sole exception to this is the Crimea".

The linked page specifically addresses this, and shows that you're wrong about that.

If the Russians update a street sign in Crimea it's OSM general policy that the data should be updated to reflect that.

You then moved the goal post to there being some specific exception to general policies relating to Crimea.

That's true, but nobody in this thread claimed that wasn't the case. I'm saying that you're misrepresenting those exceptions.
Sorry I said "class level" since that is what I remember specifically but I think it's actually everything. Classes, methods, types - also I mis-remembered that this was built in. It's actually resharper which I always used.

It's been a hot minute since I used it, but it really is exceptional.
I tried but quickly realized that teaching is a different skill than coding itself. i also got overwhelmed with the choices and did not know how to start. Scratch did not really grab his interest. And "dad, teach me how to make a minecraft mod" was not possible. I also did not see the patience necessary to learn it.
I disagree with so many things in this post…

1. Commercial airline travel is significantly safer than driving on a per mile or per hour basis

2. This flight was from Dubai to Washington. I don’t think there’s any train routes between these two cities.
Honestly, it's ridiculous that you claim that this basic client-server architecture "does not scale at all" and then proceed to recommend IPFS or "some sort of DHT", which are the things that were never tested at scale and theoretically cannot scale and will not scale past some thousands of users or tracked resources -- ever.

It's also ridiculous that you cite attacks at the infrastructure level that were not used to censor anyone so far -- because censorship happens always at a much higher level -- and then you just proceed to recommend an IPFS solution that is also subject to attacks at the infrastructure level, because everything is!
Yours is a bit of a strange comment.

The "supermarket" white mushroom ( Agaricus bisporus ) is the same as: white mushroom, button mushroom, champignon mushroom, cremini/crimini mushroom,[4][5] chestnut mushroom, And the portobello/a.

Just because you can eat a few species raw doesn't contradict the statement the virtually all require cooking.
Not sure what your point is: once no fossil fuel is used to heat Europe (which has to be very soon), something else will. The replacement could be anything but it seems unlikely to be coming from Siberia.

Europe need a to take some quick and uncomfortable decisions here. It can’t be acceptable to have homes heated with fossil fuel anywhere in the rich part of the EU at least, even just a decade from now. This was just a climate issue up until the annexation of Crimea. Now it’s a question of what western democracies can and can’t do (such as: would if Finland wants to join NATO and Russia threatens Germany with gas shortages unless they veto).

The grants for switching fossil burners for heat pumps in single family homes have existed (at least in Sweden, Finland etc) for what, 20 years now? What’s happening on that front on the continent? Are there no grants? Are they not attractive?
The biggest innovation, IMO, is lowering of moment arm (which reduces vibrations and inaccuracy due to twisting of the frame) by locating gantry close to the floor and hotend design. Portability, author seems to focus on, is not important to me.
Yes, it's oddly specific but apparently intended to allow countries to classify energy from such plants as "green" and treat it as such when buying/selling or taxing it. That is important because a lot of companies that are interested in buying green energy in order to reduce their carbon emissions would care about their energy being labeled as green. There is a lot of book keeping that is happening related to this and some big financial interests across the EU. Demand for non green energy is going to be dropping as companies shoot for being carbon neutral and are incentivized to switch to green energy.

The Germans are going to have to build a lot of new capacity until 2030 because their new government just committed to closing all their coal plants by then. Inevitably, that's going to involve building some new gas plants. And those won't be green unless they meet those criteria. So, that construction permit end date is interesting here. This clearly is a stop gap solution so Germany can get rid of coal and build some "greener" replacement plants without creating a demand problem for energy produced by those new plants. If they weren't green, lots of companies would end up buying their energy from other suppliers.

After 2030, the attention will shift to getting rid of natural gas completely; hence the further restriction of having a plan for switching to something else. Natural gas is already a bit on the expensive side and lowering the carbon output won't help with that. But it's going to take a bit longer.

Nuclear is in there because lots of countries in the EU are still building new nuclear plants and they don't actually emit carbon. So, calling that green is a lot less controversial.

So, odd but I can see the logic. I don't necessarily agree with it though. If it emits carbon, it's a problem and as a consumer I would not want to be tricked into buying "green" energy like that. People are going to notice this and call bullshit on that.
And, let's not forget that public health is about a collective, community- or population-wide approach. In other words, a system.
This is misinformation in both paragraphs.

The “bad grade” takes a lot into account and between all the exceptions it is primarily aimed at new constructions.

As for your second paragraph, I have no idea what you’re smoking. We’re Europe’s largest exporter of electricity, thanks to our nuclear power.

At least if one ignores the hundreds of thousands of people who were directly killed by nuclear weapons.
There are forks of Ethereum already running PoS consensus (e.g. Binance Smart Chain, Songbird and an upcoming fork called PulseChain to name a few). I hear the difficult part is getting the sharding to work.
Wow this looks like a classic corporate response, though in a place where it may actually affect lives.

Let’s not fix the actual issue (not following the proper procedures) but something further down the line which looks like the cause if you have no clue what’s happening.
right, I used to have a firewall that could whitelist apps in the 90s on Windows (can't remember the name)... iptables can't even do that as far as I know... but there is https://github.com/evilsocket/opensnitch that I still need to try (I no longer use Windows).
Fallout is evident in nearly everything made with atmospheric air. It's possible to tell the difference between steel made before 1945 (low-background) and after due to radionuclide contamination. Items made prior to the end of WWII are unlikely to have such trace impurities.

This has not been the case since 1889, when the metre was formally defined as the length of a prototype metre bar. So the metric system has not suffered the same error for more than a century.

Of course, the metric system has not been in use since 1960, but this is also true for the SI.
>airlines should be completely firewalled from regulators for very obvious reasons.

Then we need to be prepared to fund the regulators appropriately. I think part of the problem is they are stretched so thin it becomes impossible to know enough about each system an individual regulator is expected to verify/certify.
What options do you feel are closing?
I'm curious on why you're pessimistic on hydrogen. I agree that cars are likely not the best use of fuel cells (heavy vehicles are able to utilize H2's strengths much more), but in a future based on renewables hydrogen allows you to store energy in a very dense way. Lithium batteries are acceptably heavy/expensive at small scales, but how do you think will supply vary to meet demand in the medium-long term without a chemical fuel (hydrogen/ammonia)?
> We're seeing evidence for a preference for PoS already

This isn't evidence of proof of work going away. I'm not sure why you think it is. More coins will be made with PoW and the ones that have PoW today likely will stay PoW. There's no reason to believe PoW is going to shrink, just because PoS is growing.

> Would you trust PoW in the case of Ethereum Classic

No, but I trust PoW with coins that have ASIC/FGPA resistant hashing algorithms.
PoS isn't without trust issues either. What do you do if/when defi starts offering greater returns than staking? Obviously there will be a large exodus in staking making it more vulnerable to majority attacks as well.
For the first 24 seconds, the plane didn't leave the ground. Then, while a "normal" departure goes from 2000ft to 2875ft in 30 seconds, this flight went from 1050ft to 3000ft in the same amount of time. Not only the take-off was scary for being to slow to gain altitude, when it started gaining altitude, it did so very quickly.

For passenger who are knowledgeable, this was certainly frightening. Ignorance is bliss for most of us.
I mean, you say that as if it were a joke, and yet I can't fathom any other explanation for this kind of event but that the pilot flying assumed the automation "knows where it's going". Unfortunately, without Rainn Wilson as the PNF...

I bought a programming magazine in the 1980s and copied a game to my Commodore 128. It didn't work, and I failed to debug it, so I set the magazine aside and starting writing my own games. In retrospect I think it was a great educational lesson. My first attempt to copy/paste code was a complete failure, so I was forced to think up stuff on my own. Man, youngsters nowadays can copy/paste in milliseconds, whereas back in the day it took us hours!
Who were these people then? To say that they weren't scientists is to say that scientists can never be held accountable because every "actual" experiment is morally and ethically righteous.

Both are driven by systems so they're both effectively simulations, but dwarf fortress is much, much more in depth. It's basically a "real life" simulator but set in a fantasy universe, where you control a colony of dwarves. The interplay between systems is unheard of in any other game*, the closest you get is some roguelikes.

I don’t live there, but I’ve driven around it. Just saying, it’s possible to get by without absolutely having to drive to get a cup of coffee or a bite to eat at least in some parts of LA. If that’s important to you, you can live in those parts. Most people actually don’t care about that at all. So, having to drive everywhere is not a problem for them.
Okay that's neat. There's a slashdot thread from 21 years ago discussing this. People were just as bewildered then as I am today. :)
I'm just saying that I have never heard that cooking was required/recommended to make any mushroom safe to eat. I had assumed they were either safe, or not, and cooking them was a separate matter, mostly of preference.
I suspect that 192k vorbis and 128k opus would also be transparent for you as well (unless you listen to techno/industrial and have really good speakers). Might save you a bit of space.
That depends on the airline. El Al used to require them to be closed for ground operations (I assume from some I’ll-conceived “security” reason.)

It’s common for daytime ops from desert airports for the cabin crew to ask you to close them at the gate to minimize heat gain on the aircraft.

Dwarf Fortress goes into depth to a truly magnificent, ridiculous degree. (I guess also in the non-ridiculous degree of having a 3D world instead of 2D ;)) It simulates a lot more, and thus more is possible in game and more weird and wonderful chain reactions can happen.
If I'm not mistaken I saw that beast at Boeing Field in Seattle a couple of times during the 90s or early 'Oughts.
I hadn't considered this before, but that's a really compelling reason that a 51% attack would not be worth anyone's while. Seems like a successful 51% attack would just wreck bitcoin, and there wouldn't be any way to cash out.

Initially, yes. The story itself is quite fascinating, and the Wikipedia page on the metre is a good starting point.

This was a hot topic during the 19th century as different improvements in the techniques and devices used to measure the Earth showed that the first measurements were imperfect, however good they had been at the time, and that the whole idea is not workable because the Earth is not a sphere. This lead to the formal definition of the metre as the length of a prototype in 1889.
> I'd never pick mushrooms from the wild

Some of the tastiest mushrooms are also the most recognizable, like morels. If you want them foraging is the only option for most people. Morels have no reliable farming methods as far as I know
Auto pilots disengaging and sounding an alarm in unexpected situations have lead to multiple crashes, also the autopilot wasn’t engaged at the time, but the pilot was following a computer created flight path.

Commercial aviation is designed around highly trained people following defined procedures. Auto pilots are not supposed to second-guess the inputs because that adds to confusion and cognitive load on the pilots. Pilots tell the computer what to do, not the other way around.

What _should_ have happened here is the pilot monitoring should be watching the instruments and calling out flight stages. When the pilot flying didn’t initiate a proper climb they should have called this out, or taken over control until a safe altitude was established. This wasn’t an autopilot issue, this was a breakdown on crew resource management.

That's interesting. We use a Sierra Wireless EM 7455 (IIRC, not in work mode now...) with generic global firmware. I am 100% sure our software performs no 4 to 6 translation. So it would need to be in the modem. But that would mean it needs to be a standardized operator-independent protocol. Never heard that such thing exists.

That sounds the most likely option to me.

I'm just saying what the author of the book said because it stuck in my memory. This guy has hitchhiked through Asia, Americas and Africa - from south to north. He was just describing his experiences with people in the countries he's visited. I'm not sure what's your point.
Theway government grants work in UK is, the richer you are, the more you get from the government. They freauently are offset against your taxable income, so they are most effective if you are in highest tax bracket.

Conversely, poorest people rent the shittiest and least efficient homes, but they don't have the choice to replace the heating system - that's the landlorsa decision. But he doen't pay the utilities, the tenants do, so why would he care?
Yeah, I agree with the reasons. Though I did suggest several times that I want to delete my account and willing to approve it via MFA. At that point I imagine it's probably too costly for that level of support. Hence why I put "rant" in my preamble.
> Not sure what your point is: once no fossil fuel is used to heat Europe (which has to be very soon), something else will. The replacement could be anything but it seems unlikely to be coming from Siberia.

Thank you for putting this more clearly than I could.

Europe's got to move to more heat pumps and more industrial use of electricity to be greener. Then the question becomes: where is the best source of that electricity?

Maybe some of it can be very efficient natural gas plants-- especially if power-to-gas provides viable to eat up solar surpluses during the day. But nuclear is a good thing to have in the mix, too.

I was introduced to programming by the book that came with The Apple IIGS, "A Touch of Applesoft Basic." http://www.apple2.pl/books/applesoft.pdf

I've always wondered if it was one of the most influential books, ever. It certainly influenced me!
> How you get to this level of incompetence flying a 777 is far beyond my understanding.

The article said--it's the smallest plane Emirates flies.
Roughly speaking, if you push forward hard enough the plane goes down. There are limits to that of course, but in this case the FD wanted to maintain an altitude of 0 so it was "suggesting" a downwards pitch to the pilot, and the pilot was doing as told. The FD is only an advisory system, it basically lets the pilot choose a goal and then it shows on the attitude display where to point the nose to achieve that goal. It helps pilots to be more efficient and precise and, in theory, avoid errors. In this case though it was misleading and apparently the pilot did eventually realize that and stop following it, but very very late, after other indications like high airspeed and the view out the window would have strongly suggested that the climb was not going as intended.

You don't need outward collective action, really.

We remade our cities in favor of cars, mostly through applying changes to engineering standards. We could do it again, but the current engineering establishment doesn't want to change in many cases. (They had an easier time applying their standards, because by and large no codified standards existed before them.)
