Don't worry, this is roughly the opposite of what has been observed. The growing seasons are getting longer, the earth is greening. [0]

And looking back at previous warm periods it looks like things mostly got better during warm ages and nose dived during the cold. https://imgr.search.brave.com/v3hRyzU6Mm1ShpkX2Z4SEYasQRtDD-...

[0] Global Greening

Greening of the globe and its drivers - Nature 2016 https://www.nature.com/articles/nclimate3004 "Satellite records from 1982–2009 show a persistent and widespread increase of leaf area (greening) over 25% to 50% of the global vegetated area, whereas less than 4% of the globe shows decreasing leaf area (browning). Ecosystem models suggest that CO2 fertilisation effects explain 70% of the observed greening trend, followed by nitrogen deposition (9%), climate change (8%) and land cover change (4%)."

Elevated CO2 as a driver of global dryland greening - Nature 2016 https://www.nature.com/articles/srep20716 "Recent regional scale analyses using satellite based vegetation indices such as the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), have found extensive areas of “greening” in dryland areas of the Mediterranean, the Sahel, the Middle East and Northern China, as well as greening trends in Mongolia and South America. More recently, a global synthesis from 1982-2007 showed an overall “greening-up” trend over the Sahel belt, Mediterranean basin, China-Mongolia region and the drylands of South America."

Global Greening Is Firm, Drivers Are Mixed - Harvard 2014 http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2015AGUFM.B31A0515K "Evidence for global greening is converging, asserting an increase in CO2 uptake and biomass of the terrestrial biosphere. Global greening refers to global net increases in the area of green canopy, stocks of carbon, and the duration of the growing season. The growing seasons in general have prolonged while the stock of biomass carbon has increased and the rate of deforestation has decelerated. Evidence for these trends comes from firm empirical data obtained through atmospheric CO2 observations, remote sensing, forest inventories and land use statistics."

Rise in CO2 has 'greened Planet Earth' http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-36130346 Prof Judith Curry, the former chair of Earth and atmospheric sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology, added: "It is inappropriate to dismiss the arguments of the so-called contrarians, since their disagreement with the consensus reflects conflicts of values and a preference for the empirical (i.e. what has been observed) versus the hypothetical (i.e. what is projected from climate models)

I don't think so, because the departure was at 3:10AM local time (23:10Z). It would have been too dark to perceive.
This is a fairly ridiculous thing to bring up right now.
Yes. And it shows up as a massive hole in the feature set of git. Had it been a first class citizen together with other centralized workflow features, then obviously lfs would have worked over ssh.

git is that it’s a tool written to solve distributed version control for Linux which is nearly the only project that’s effectively using distributed version control.

Everyone else uses git for centralized version control. And it’a not a perfect fit.
Are you really straw manning the poster? to say "racism" cannot be compared to covid discrimination and that making the comparison makes him or his argument any “less than” is an emotional character assassination based argument not merits based one.

If you’re looking for a response to your numbers that you pulled out, we still have many worse diseases and our leaders economic policies during covid impacted and hurt more people than the “5 million dead”

I also didn’t see you or anyone complaining about the obesity; diabetes, car crashes; depression and other far worse epidemics that we’ve had induced by our same shitty health agencies that sell us the covid cure today.

I prefer this to SimpleWall, but it's kind-of heavy (both the UI and the service) resource-wise - so I don't run it always, just after big Windows Updates to make sure they don't add new "phone home" "functionality". OSS is also a super nice plus.

As multiple times already. I'm saying that e-commerce interest for crypto sad payment option is almost zero compared with other payment options.

I've shown you multiple sources with stats.

You've come up with limited edition virtual goods ( collectibles) and fan based investing which I've already stated is the only thing hodlers would spend there money on ( = 'investing', ugh).

The latest stats found are from 2020, not 2017. You've shown none.

No one in real life cares about crypto payments, because the 20 procent that have a median amount of 191$ did it as a bet/investment.

The US is one of the richest countries where people would buy things with crypto, you haven't given a better country.

Nobody cares in rl cares. Come on with real stats or proof. Then I could consider it for my e-commerce clients where there is 0% interest in crypto ( yes, outside of the US).

Perhaps you are living in 2017 where there was a hype and it went away. It's 2017 all over, but now because of a pandemic..

This is really funny: NFT vs OpenSea vs crypto.

Bitcoin interest in 2017 was even miles ahead of all the current useless FOMO going on.

Mobile development (for iOS or Android) is very big too. But, more relevant for you, both web and mobile development require a lot of back-end development where you don't need to have any contact with UI/UX.

Russets (in apples and pears) tend to have a more crunchy nashi type flesh. The brown skin can be a bit sandpaper and thick. It has a distinctive mouth feel as a fruit all of its own which somehow sets off perfectly with the chalky white crumble which Wensleydale and some Cheshire has.

a lot of leaps and equivalencies being made there that weaken the comparison.

Training for driving a car is common place, use of force and threat of violence, aviation disasters are many times larger scale than automotive accidents, cars have a fairly limited passenger capacity compared to certain aviation options , list goes on.

I don't think that the message is "any and all means must be executed", but rather that gambles being made for the judged 'greater good' should be a human faculty rather than an automated decision making process that has taken the human factor out of the question completely.

The desmos calculator is great! And very much in line with what I would want to do. Maybe it's just me being shy to approach someone on the project or the stupid "I want to do it myself" but I haven't tried to join any existing project.

I accept that statement but also the people we do know that have died are several orders of magnitude. While I'm sure there are plenty of people that have died from radiation that we don't know of I'm sure this number isn't in the millions but rather in the dozens or hundreds. It'd be pretty difficult to hide so many deaths.

As a counterpoint, learning the basics of a good OAuth library or service like oauth2-proxy, auth0, next-auth or keycloak is well worth your time as a developer. Once you get over the initial learning curve, it’s almost as easy to add to a project as basic auth. You don’t need to reinvent the wheel with each project, building login pages and database code - other people have done the work for you - and you can create a more usable and professional experience for your users.
The internet exists because of equipment and software that costed money, time, physical labor, intelligence, etc. to make. Nothing is free in this world. Everything has a cost.

Otherwise, getting rid of idiots would fix the internet. But poverty, not winning the genetic lottery, and tyrants cause idiocy. So, it is hard to fix the internet. The rise of Orwellian online surveillance, elite-owned media platforms with dehumanizing censorship, creepy phone verification systems, brainwashing social credit scores, and so forth will cause closed-minded idiocy for most people rather than open-mindedness. This is what happens when cut-throat idiots get involved in monopolizing the internet. So, it is harder to fix the internet now.

Independent journalists are literally getting attacked on the internet for exposing terrifying things that the ruling class is trying to hide with oppressive censorship, banning websites, blood money, etc. It is to silence victims while the ruling class lives in luxury during this COVID pandemic.

Most North Americans, South Americans, Africans, Europeans, and Asians do not have much money nor power. They are more powerless and less rich because of taxes, tax evasions for the ruling class, dumbed down education systems, dehumanizing censorship disguised as political correctness, social credit scores, Orwellian online surveillance, elite-owned media companies, government-tracked devices (like smartphones or Windows 10 computers), abusive international trade policies, occupational licensing, child labor laws, etc. The ruling class has successfully turned most people into dumbed down serfs internationally. They do this by monopolizing the internet for example. They monopolized the internet by making websites prey on people who are not part of the ruling class through anti-adblockers, V.P.N-blockers, geoblocking, dehumanizing censorship disguised as political correctness, and luring idiots into buying things from oligarchical businesses that keep them drowning in impulsive consumerism. Unconventional art, intellectual music, black comedy, investigative journalism, serious debates, and other things have been increasingly replaced by a false sense of security on the internet from this oligarchical monopoly.

I was about to post the same reaction to this article, because morels are even more distinctly identifiable than chantrelles, and of course, I've know for 40 years that they're safe to eat.

That's what I've always heard, at least. I realized that I've never challenged the common knowledge and assumptions I've carried around for my entire life. It was worth the effort. I've (unintentionally) never eaten morels without cooking them, and now I know that I shouldn't.

In regard to wild-sourced foods especially, it's good to acknowledge that safety knowledge is stocked with heaps of just-so stories and context-dependent tradition. I'll still snag a few morels when I seen a bunch, but now I know that my collection of common knowledge about them isn't comprehensive.

When I was your age – you could delete your social media accounts
This is just a rant, but I'm sure HN would have some kindle to throw on the fire.

As a part of my new-years-eves-goals-that-I-likely-won't-achieve I promised myself to delete all my social media.

I found all the small hidden buttons to delete my account, but in recent years, unbeknown to me, apparently I am not allowed to delete™ my account.

Essentially all the platforms have only let me deactivate my account but have promised™ me that they will delete it after 30 days.

I'm no luddite nor am I naive, I well-know that most apps will just archive my data and make me live on as some ghost user.

Though the reason I wanted to quit-for-a-while is because of addiction. I wanted to turn over a new leaf, a fresh start.

But now I still have a few weeks to resist the urge to log back in, ugh.

I've emailed a bunch of support teams, here is the last reply I got from a company.

> Thanks for reaching out to the Community Support Team. To maintain the integrity of our process, there is a 30-day period before the account is permanently deleted. Unfortunately, we are unable to fulfill your request. If our policy changes, we'll let you know right away.

Integrity.
You're probably right. We'd need a new type of vaccine that is more effective for that to be realistic. There is still hope for that though.
That's because hospitals are still too full. If my grandmother has a heart attack, or your brother gets hit by a drunk driver around New Years, that person will need healthcare.

And while ~80% of the eligible population has been vaccinated, the 18% of the population that's unvaccinated is responsible for 67% of hospitalizations, and nearly 80% of ICU admissions [0].

To a first and second approximation, no one in America has ever eaten an Antonovka. But strangely, it's also one of the more common apples planted in America! The explanation for this apparent contradiction is that Antonovka is one of the most common "standard" (ie, full size) apple rootstocks. So they are planted, but almost never allowed to fruit. Instead, the tops are chopped off and a different apple is grafted on top as a replacement.

They are used as rootstock because they are deep rooted, drought tolerant, and very cold hardy. Conveniently, Antonovka are also one of the few apple varieties that tends to grow true from seed. This makes propagating them as rootstock much easier, since it's very fast and easy to plant seeds rather than making clones.
Here's an article that talks up the use of Antonovka as a rootstock: http://www.kuffelcreekapplenursery.com/rootstocks.htm.

I've got 20 Antonovka ordered for next spring that I'm planning to graft to. Perhaps I should leave one whole and see what it produces --- like most Americans, I've never eaten one.

OpenAir is a volunteer group focused on Direct Air Capture (DAC) of CO2. There are two sides to it: Advocacy and research. The research side is currently working on open-source hardware for doing carbon capture at home. There are two projects (called Cyan and Violet) that you can follow along.

I'm working on something that I hope will become a third project. Briefly, I think that electrochemical methods to absorb CO2 and convert it to useful products could be really promising for at home DAC. I'm inspired by the quinone-based approach laid out by the Hatton lab at MIT[1], and the ORNL research on nanospike catalysts[2].

Right now I need help with designing experiments and sourcing precursor chemicals. I'd also love to know more about how computational chemistry might solve some of the problems we're probably going to face with overpotentials.

I'm surprised commercial planes don't do full software reset before each flight, and especially before a new crew takes over. Checklists only get you so much.

Ground speed is speed over the ground. This includes when the aircraft is in the air. Airspeed is the speed of the plane through the air. These are not the same thing. Both are reported in knots.
Isn’t there some sort of reset settings button when you start a new flight? Like is there any setting set by the previous crew that should be left as is by the new crew?

> Add a button to log out. Logout never really worked across browsers with basic auth.

In my experience, the way to logout is to close the browser. Is this standardized anywhere?

I think that this would be nice, but most anyone who wants customization will want to control everything, and wouldn't be a fit for the limits of basic auth.

As others have mentioned, TLS helps with this, but I agree that it would be a good idea to hash it anyway.

But engineering/mechanical problems can be identified, analyzed, and eliminated (or mitigated). Human error still finds a way around our many attempts (training, checklists, standardized procedures, etc) to prevent it.
Its dead easy to fix it though: for politicians to ban the purchase of Proof of Work cryptocurrencies. All of the major exchanges are centralized now anyway. Tank the price (via basic supply-demand microeconomics) and you solve electricity and chip supply issues.

The fact that this easy step hasn't been done suggests a broader conspiracy to destabilize Western nations and sow chaos, perhaps to usher in a transfer of global power from West to East. Note that China has banned the mining and trade of these cryptocurrencies long ago.
That is pretty absurd anti-authoritarian double talk also. Comparing being fired with being executed.

The government isn’t punishing you because you broke a law - your employer (who happens to be the government) fired you for failing to adhere to conditions of employment.

There is literally nothing the government (in any of its capacities) can do to you which would toggle your vaccination status without your consent. Your employer will (dis)incentivise you accordingly towards exercising their freedom of association, but they can’t stick a needle in your arm.

Irrespective of how we define “medical freedom” (because I don’t particularly care about definitional combat) the government NOT handcuffing me and sticking a needle in my arm against my will is precisely how I expect my medical autonomy to work in practice.
