The amount of carbon in paper, cardboard, and food in existing municipal solid waste streams in the US would be nearly enough to make the current US jet fuel demand. It's not like replacing all liquid fuel use -- jet fuel is about 6% of US liquid fuel demand.

Uncharted Waters: What Pirates can teach us about equity
This whole thread is a really good example of why not to judge the past by the standards of the present. There were ways of interacting that were just expected. At my first job, if you went on vacation, you expected to return to a pranked office. No way you could get away with barricading someone's office/desk with a mountain of soda cans at most places now.

For others like me who had no idea what "OBS" in the title refers to:

It's open-source software for video recording and live streaming.

Not OP but it seemed unambiguous to me given "countries that have adopted". The countries that proclaimed themselves communist at some point -- the Soviet Union, China, Yugoslavia, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, Angola, etc. (Most no longer exist, only Cuba, Vietnam, China and Laos are governed by self-described communist parties today.)
I made initial version some 12 years ago.

The goal was to have easier discussions about SLA uptime requirements during negotiations for a client of mine. I also wanted an ability to make easy links to calculations when commenting on documents (under different domain initially).

The current stack is rather boring: OpenBSD, httpd, slowcgi and newLISP. httpd replaced Apache some years ago.

I kept adding small features here and there, most recently adding an ability to encode monitoring duration for complex and reverse calculations in the URL as a sequence of 7 letters (a=0, b=1 etc) to make URLs shorter and nicer.

Public API powered by Cloudflare Workers will be announced soon-ish. It wont’t use newLISP, but will be my very first JavaScript program.

EDIT: add info about the technical stack.
Apart from this article, do we have any visual representation [a CGI, may be] of the full activity inside a cell?

Which will make fuel much more expensive, and thus less consumed (which is really what is needed). Obviously that will also mean poor people can't travel very far, but what are you going to do about that? Maybe just hand out a universal ration of 1 gallon of biofuel per year per person.
I mean, it's not a bad engineering philosophy for things as low-level as this to be provided by the OS as a framework. Capturing screen output at a high refresh rate without introducing lag may be better implemented with lower-level access to certain system components, in a way that may require certain privileges in order to make it work.

You can provide a nice higher-level API (like ScreenCaptureKit) to access such "privileged" capabilities from normal apps, so that arbitrary open-source software (like OBS) can hook into it.

It seems like Apple already made ScreenCaptureKit for their platforms, and wanted to help OBS by hooking it up to ScreenCaptureKit to take advantage of that work.

The alternative, which is to do all the private/privileged stuff directly in OBS, means that Apple would have to give the general ability for arbitrary software to do what ScreenCaptureKit is doing, which may be a security issue (spyware that snoops on what's being displayed on screen comes to mind.) Making something like ScreenCaptureKit as the supported interface to do this kind of thing, can ensure the app triggers the proper permissions dialog/etc so that screen recording doesn't happen without user knowledge.

> Don’t forget Reddit. Reddit’s login pop-ups are more aggressive than Twitter’s for me.

Reddit's unusable with an account too. So annoying when I just want to read a thread and it want's to draw my attention every which way. Notifications and the reply text never work on Firefox and using old is getting more and more inconvenient.
Note that a huge issue I see is that Twitter is used by a lot of governments for official announcements.

Back when Twitter was open, using it for goverment communication was OK, like it is OK for governments to make public announcements on public TV.

But imagine an important announcement is only made on a private TV channel!

Even if that private TV channel were free, but you have to accept FAANG ToS, it’s still wrong and probably must be unconstitutional in some way.
That's what the author is thinking too it seems:

The thing people today may not know about McCarthyism is that there WERE a lot of Soviet spies in the State Department. It desperately needed to be addressed.

The reason people forget this is because McCarthyism itself was not actually a very good remedy. It was great for the self-aggrandizement of Senator McCarthy (until he went too far, and his target Mr. Welch called him out while being interrogated before the Senate for making a national show of a very weak question of Welch’s colleague, a question could have been raised far more timely without the spectacle). It was great for building an atmosphere of fear, too. But in the end it was a pretty bad spy eradication program.

> Maybe Im being a bit cynical.

If Apple, Intel, AMD, NVIDIA, Arm, Qualcomm, etc. would all contribute to open source to make everything work on all their devices with good perf, then that would be very good for all users.

Expecting AMD to make open source contributions to improve software on Apple's hardware or Arm GPUs is "naive", not cynical.

It would be like expecting Tesla to go to VW and help them improve their combustion engines for free.
McCarthyism boils down to someone having absolute power to destroy somebody else's life based on their own beliefs. For instance, homosexuals were also targeted by McCarthy, simply because they were interpreted as subversive. It's nothing more than a modern witch hunt, a practice that can't be reconciled with what we consider the rule of law today.

There is absolutely nothing noble about it.
On a cell phone, I can type "best driveway shovel" on my phone, and it will take me to google. Google will have an overlay that tells me searching for the best driveway shovels is better in an app. I close that overlay. The first hit is twitter. The second is reddit. I skip twitter. I get an overlay telling me to install a reddit app, or continue in the website. I click continue in website. There is an overlay telling me to get the reddit app. I close it. I have to click 'read more' to load the rest of the main content. When I scroll to the comments, the first one or two are visible, and then I get a popup telling me reddit is better in an app. If the information about shovels was rated as adult content, I have already seen the content, but then at the comments, I get a popup that tells me to go to the main reddit page, or an option to install the reddit app.

I click back. The third hit on google was also reddit. I repeat the above.

Entanglement with iFlytek alone is potentially problematic for Apple and Google, who are distributing this on their respective platforms, because iFlytek is on the BIS Entity List. US persons and businesses are prohibited from business relations with these entities without prior approval and license from the US federal government, and this process is quite onerous and expensive in terms of the specialized legal talent required.

As a casual observer on the fringes of trade and sanctions law, my gut tells me this case alone will probably not result in administrative action (and certainly not criminal) against Google or Apple by the US gov, but may contribute to opening a new can of worms with regard to app review, either self-imposed by the platforms or under pressure by the US government.
It does exist, where laws allow for it - in NZ we have Snowball effect which does this [1].

As others have said though, when there's so much early stage capital around and you could instead raise from a few angels or a early-stage VC (who will have a larger stake and may be more able to help with later rounds) equity crowdfunding isn't that attractive for most founders.

There are good businesses which for some reason can't access that funding which might show up on a platform like this, but don't see it being all that common.

very important lesson, more than that actually

there's a lot of artistry, poetry, idealism in programming, but as a daily money making activity it just doesn't cut it. You have to reach goals as easily as possible (dry,yagni) fast without painting yourself in corners as much as you can (low coupling, min interdependencies). Finding the right variability points.

You're right, that is somewhat contradictory. On the other hand those interviews don't profess to teach you a skill, but more of an outlook on life that led to success.
Yes, we did observe a large effect within the first months in an immunocompetent middle-aged population, but as we all know now, that effect doesn't last very long. The placebo group has been unblinded and vaccinated, so we wouldn't know how they fared in the long run.
There are a lot of pathogens that cause long term, sometimes minor or sometimes major ailments - mono, lyme disease, HPV, etc. There may be many many more we don't know about. Could we identify them by blending up a dead persons brain, then DNA sequencing the pulp? Any non-human DNA can then be investigated, and with data from enough people we might start to see patterns, like "this particular non-human genome causes alzheimer's" or "this causes lung cancer".

Reddit is much more usable with the "old" version of the site, which you can set as the default in your preferences.

Frankly, I'm continually amazed that they haven't killed it off yet, but for now it's a big improvement.

This. That is part of what makes strolling through European city centers fun as well: the mix of shops, restaurants and cafes with sidewalk/outdoor seating to eat and drink, watch other people. The latter is harder to replace by online stores and experiences.
It's actually some of the best software I've used for streaming. Also, the feature to record a browser tab is a life saver when I'm double booked and don't want to miss content from a meeting.
As a Dutch driver i only know about this technique from foreign media. I was never taught to do this during my driving lessons, don't do it and don't know anyone else that opens their door this way.
Oh it's still a thing from hardware companies, I recently had to warn a dev away from using a lib by ST because it didn't have a license and it created legal vuln they might have to deal with down the line. While that would have been fine in a hack project; in a commercial product (what they were working on) that was unacceptable. Hardware companies rarely understand or care about the software side of things and it makes for all sorts of fun in places like the Linux kernel where they actually have to make that fun do what the end user actually expects.
Wording this differently so you’re not guessing about a project you run would be better.

> A good prank is when the two parties can laugh about it together when it’s done.

Hm, that's now how I have the definition of a prank in my dictionary. To me it is a practical joke which usually has two required components, a prankster and the person the prank is being played on. Audience optional. To assume that they both have the same sense of humor seems to be a recipe for disappointment.

This is everyday life at tradeshows. Seriously. I've had people trying to destroy 100's of thousands of $ for kicks to see if the gear was as solid as we claimed it was. (it was).

As tradeshow pranks come this really does not register.

> at the expense of someone else

That's a prerequisite for a prank, it is quite literally played on someone else by definition, without that it isn't really a prank.

Whether you can see the humor of it or not depends on your personal make-up. People ring the doorbell here occasionally. I have a pretty badly injured right leg. So I go down a couple of flights of stairs to open the door.

Every now and then this includes neighborhood kids who will be in hiding at the end of the driveway. Usually their giggling gives the game away. Needless to say, their sense of humor is different than mine on this subject. That does not mean that I don't think it isn't a successful prank from their perspective, in fact the fact that they know this probably adds to the spice.

But then I think 'they're just kids' and leave it at that.

All the 'holier than thou' and concern trolling in this thread is completely over the top, in real life people pull pranks, some laugh, some don't. But it's not enough to go judge people to the degree that is done here.

The evidence actually shows that a natural evolution is unlikely, or hard to explain.

I agree that there should be a focus on controlling the pandemic, but that does not mean we should punt origins investigations off into the unknown future, to be swept under the carpet.

The evidence is right there in the genetic sequence. We have the capacity to analyze it, and in the case of Omicron, it's quite stark.
> Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but I don’t think any company is obligated to provide unlimited access for free without an account. If you’re trying to scroll deep into conversations or someone’s Tweets, it’s reasonable to expect that you’d need to become a user of the website.

Oh of course. But then it should have been that way from the start. Instead they were user-friendly at first, and only once they'd grown enough so they could rely on network effects for dominance, did they turn hostile. A bait and switch, tricking people into relying on them, and then turning evil once switching to a different platform becomes too difficult.

This argument makes no sense. Consumer GPU pricing (which I'm assuming is what you're referring to) has very little to do with the pro market (industry, research etc.)

The researchers are using things like the DGX or RTX A-series. These, while quite expensive, are not that unreasonable when it comes to pricing.

The clinical trials were placebo controlled, see the sibling comment for a reference to the results, or look up the protocols on clinicaltrials.gov

what says the sales person wasn't competenz? They are targeting EEs and are trying to show how to make productive use of the device when dealing with electronics. Sure, you can do more with the device and use it like a free programmable comouter, however that is not the purpose. The sales petson could have been strong in using it to analyse a broken curcuit.

Going deep on an aspect of the datasheet abd abusing it doesn't mean one understands a thing on the device (in its proper use)
In the most literal sense no, but I think it does address your point.

Honestly it’s an odd example to pick because there are paid firefighters too - why would you need to pay firefighters if enough people are willing to do it for free?
I think you are miss-interpreting this. I think they mean it can detect a source of light as small as a 24MW laser.

So if there is a planet, or any other object orbiting the star it is very likely to be picked up by this instrument.

Tweaks to make people look the right way are very effective.

When I was a child the UK had a lot of Pelican crossings. A Pelican consists of almost normal red/amber/green lamps for motor traffic, plus cross/don't cross indications mounted on the same poles for pedestrians, you press a button, you stare at the red "Don't cross" symbol on the far side of the road, eventually the car signals change to red (stop) then yours change to green (cross) and you can cross the road. Sometimes these are independent, sometimes they're tied into a junction and follow a light sequence for the junction (in which case pressing the button may not appear to actually make any difference, especially at peak times)

Today though it has a lot more Puffin crossings. Superficially the Puffin is similar, but the Cross/ Don't Cross indication is physically mounted on your side of the road such that to stare at it you're looking towards oncoming motor traffic (in the UK this often, but not always, means facing right). This means now your awareness of that traffic happens as a natural consequence of checking for the indication it's safe to cross. If some lunatic has ignored the lights and is racing towards you anyway there's a better chance you notice as you see it go green.

As well as Pelican, and Puffin, and the widely known Zebra, there are also Toucan ("Two can cross" = bicycles as well as pedestrians) and Pegasus (The Pegasus is a mythical winged horse, these are for horse riders) crossings but the principle of these rarer alternatives is the same as for Puffin.
Cyclists are supposed to follow the same rules as cars. If a car takes out another cars door, the moving vehicle is at fault.

If you are going fast enough within the arc of a door that you don’t have time to slow down, you're going faster than you are able to safely control.

You are putting yourself and others in danger. You are a missile on the road, slow down or leave more room...

It’s irresponsible to cycle that fast by doorways.
