Can we use it to put the CO2 back in the ground?

I guess there are some irreversible effects once warming reaches a certain threshold however.
This was linked elsewhere in the thread and is a response to your assertion about China’s knowledge and shame about its racial outlook.

https://www.gwern.net/docs/genetics/selection/2013-anonymous...

As far as I can tell you’re simply wrong, but I’m happy to see evidence to the contrary.

As to the racial gap, I don’t doubt that gains have been made and that large gains could continue to be made with improvements in childhood nutrition, education, stimulation, etc. That, to me, is more a function of just how large the initial gap was than it is a suggestion that intellectual equality at the population level can be achieved. To piggyback off your comment about the Koreans, they very quickly indeed caught up to (and surpassed, in some respects) the Japanese and Chinese. Blacks have never surpassed intellectually either white or Asian populations, nor are they close to doing so anywhere (to my knowledge, but I’m happy to be proved wrong). That is so notwithstanding that societies have spent (in some cases) 70 years trying to do with blacks what took the Koreans less than a generation. At some point a rational society would make decisions based on the data - humans are not intellectually comparable racially.

The early Asian-American populations were treated no better than African slaves, yet 150 years later the outcomes couldn’t be more different. At some point, blaming it on slavery, or Jim Crow laws, or white devil racism just tires the listener because of the plethora of obvious counter examples where chronic horrible mistreatment didn’t set an entire race back 20,000 years and render their collective IQ 1-1.5 standard deviations lower than the rest of the world (besides Australian aborigines): see, for example, the Jews up to 1945, or the American Chinese and Japanese up to ~1950.
* A very simple but effective technique is to take a short walk immediately after eating/drinking (this is the cue) anything. Coffee break? Short Walk; Lunch? Long walk. Always Outdoors if possible.

* Loosen and relax the joints in the order Neck, Shoulder, Elbow, Wrist, Waist, Knees and Ankles using rotations. In particular; rotate/loosen the Waist along all three axes regularly.

* Shake and vibrate the Arms, Legs and Waist repeatedly like you are Shivering.

That's it. This hardly takes any time/effort (you can do it in office attire easily) and the benefits are immediate (you should feel a slight warmth throughout the body). Try doing these throughout the day. This will break your Sedentary lifestyle and introduce Whole Body Motion into your everyday habits. Once this is established you can start with any heavy-duty regimen; i suggest Yoga and Martial Arts.
No, you don't get to hide in the back of the train when you wrecked the front.

You asked cpsns a bait question. Your "rational argument" was a setup, and it's dishonest in conversation. You had no intention of engaging in conversation, you wanted to prove your point no matter what was said.

Even knowing it was bait I forced myself to respond with the little good faith I could muster with "seems like".

You ignored the entire context of what I said, focused on the sentence that you seem to have misunderstood, and tried to snap that trap shut with a weird response where you repeated my own abstraction point back to me for some reason. You then ignored the last line, which was a list of actions that are in no way inherently political. You started off disingenuous, and continued to be.

No, the physical action that I was intentionally clear on, is not political. Tipping the glass, and swallowing the fucking water is not political. Nor is laughing, tying my shoes, pulling my socks up, seeing a bird fly by, etc.

All things make up everything, afterall.

My water came from the well I had dug in a rural area, that I had tested to make sure it was safe for my own consumption. There was no governmental involvement; not local, nor state, nor federal.

Outliers are included in everything.

At least we're lucky that the government keeps the moon in orbit and the sun burning.

As I said, be right, enjoy it, that seems to be important to you. I find your approach to conversation in this subthread dishonest and myopic. Do your thing, but miss me entirely with all of that sketch.
I went for the matte screen. I saw in the LTT tear-down that that the SSD is upgradable by removing ~10 screws to get to it.
I apologize, I appear to have just been totally wrong, I think I crossed like three wires and ended up turning a recent article not in the NYT into an NYT oped in my head. My mistake, it wasn't my intention to mislead.
Please write a bit about the secrets-infrastructure at fly.io! The cert store, the token store, the trade-offs, the protections around it (though, I'm sure we will judge you for it, especially if it isn't "secure enough" for any made up definition of "secure").
They’re likely the Chinese gov themselves. Nobody with a sane mind outside of Chinese control can claim xenophobia when the subject is China.
What was the response rate? In my experience companies don't like "critical" questions like these. Not a culture fit.
Yours is a really valuable perspective on this issue, and probably gives you more clarity than those of us who have grown up immersed in the values of the West like fish in water. I had a Muslim friend who used to comment on how "Christian" my country was, whereas I'd always seen it as highly secular.

The British historian Tom Holland is very good on this topic. His recent book "Dominion" is basically an examination of how Christianity so pervasively shaped the West. He's got some good interviews on YouTube if anyone wants a shorter introduction to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIJ9gK47Ogw,https://www.yout....
It looks more like a hole to me. Maybe a punch hole?
> It’s an objectively ridiculous claim for anyone who has experience in the real world where, yes, even “normal” men can find partners. It doesn’t even stand up to the most basic tests of logic.

> Are only attractive people getting married and having kids? Of course not.

Have you considered that men are just having less partners than women? Many more men go childless (25%) than women (14%). As far as we can tell - men are having less sex overall. It's obvious that the majority of men eventually get a partner and settle down with someone but that's generally less than the number of partners a woman has before she settles down.

Here's a fun source - and this is BEFORE COVID. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/03/29/share-ame... I cannot imagine how much more grim it is post-COVID.

I find it weird that you didn't think about that. Men and women generally have very different journeys to their destination. One is usually more consistent in sexual experience whereas the other is wildly varying. The amount of men who have 50+ sexual partners completely dominates the amount of women who do. This doesn't mean that men are having more sex than women though. This means that a few men are having more sex than most women.

This is what feeds into the whole online discussion. It's obvious to anyone who has done online dating or talked to the women. They'll be like, "Oh yeah, I matched with that guy too." It's clear that many women are sleeping with the same select group of men. I don't know how this is a surprise to anyone...
Civil aircraft generally do not carry their own radars capable of seeing other aircraft. They rely on communication with ground radar, air traffic controllers and other aircraft. Even aircraft that do carry radar may not have a clear picture when low to the ground due to terrain or for safety reasons.
That is overstating it a bit; there are mentions decades (but not centuries) after his reported death.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_Jesus has a good overview of the non biblical sources.
To be fair there’s some truth in even the most outlandish conspiracies. That poster is undeniably an incel with distorted views on women and social justice causes. I think it would serve the boy well if you could pitch in and save him from the conservative propaganda he’s been fed, not to mention his views on women and that common whining that echoes in the halls of the Joe Rogan sphere about divorce. Divorce court is a common trope amongst reactionaries. He has clearly never talked to a woman let alone heard of the concept of a prenup? Should we get the ball rolling on the wildly delusional nurses comment or the random Patriot Act comment or oddly enough the Epstein comment that he stitched in there for good measure? I’m sure they would make for good discussion, just not in the rambling context.

I think I did decently on the front of taking his post in good faith, that’s why I didn’t ask him if he listens to Jordan Peterson (hint: he probably does).

The guy is in pain, that much is clear.
Sure. My data is the same study that Yang cites. Being born to an unmarried woman != raised fatherless.
I was lucky enough to catch Bill Hicks at the Punchline SF in '90 or '91.

It was a great show, but it would be a few years before I could fully appreciate how fortunate I was to have been there.
If you're from an affluent background - being married in your 20s is weird. If you're single in your 30s - you should be worried but it's too late. By then - most of your friends will likely marry.
I asked to see these at the offer stage. They said nobody had ever asked for this before and didn't give it to me. Company with 100k employees globally.
I also run windows 10 and have never seen a single ad, anywhere in it. Definitely worth noting that this is on a homebuilt computer, and I paid for a windows 10 pro license. Definitely seen ads on my wife's store-bought windows 10 home laptop.
I've just looked at this recently, boarding school in Spain is around 12k per year
Exercise regimen isn't much at the moment. I'm still 400 lbs, and my doctor said I needed to be careful what I try to do right now because I could easily hurt myself. So for now I've been trying to stick to a 3 mile walk every day, which takes about an hour. Work still being remote has been helpful in that regard. It took a bit to find shoes that didn't cause my shins to hurt when walking every day.
Like playing the "guess your weight" game with everyone else piling into an elevator
Thanks! I feel a little sheepish not realizing the obvious...

One other question that might have an obvious answer: how did the pilots become aware of the other plane?

It would be interesting if it was due to radio comms. It implies that this was a shining example of multiple failsafes -- the other plane was coming in for a landing, had already reported that they were landing, but reported it again, and this pilot heard it went "Oh shit."

It would be equally fascinating if the pilot saw the other plane out the window. It implies that if this had happened at night, everyone could have died.
kind of surprised that tail strikes are even possible on airbus, tbh.

i thought the whole idea was that the computer maintains safety margins and clamps pilot input if it would result in a stall, collision, etc
> If somebody comes up with a cool network service to plug flyctl (or any other tool someone wants to write) into, it will just work.

Sure, just how many distinct WireGuard configurations would the gateways be comfortable with per-Fly app? 1K+? 100K+? 1M+?

A $17 bench supply: Worth it? (PS-1502DD)
The lack of emphasis, in both this and the article's comments section, about the cultural messaging we send boys is very alarming. As a kid, we were told to sit down and be quiet when all our psyche was limitless energy and activity. Now it seems like just slap on a medical addiction and drug young boys into inactivity. Girls on the other hand are told "you can do anything", "break the glass ceiling", and flourish in a social environment (which is good!).

It's time we focus more on how do we appeal to boys, and how do we get the most potential out of them. The cultural messaging is "girl power" while the counterpart is "toxic masculinity". The great heroes of the past (even the present, see how Arnold Schwarzenegger was cut down for the affair with his maid) have been merely reduced to "misogynists" or "terrible fathers" rather than reflecting on both their merits and weaknesses.

Liberal philosophy does not even try to understand what motivates and drives young men to success: it's building, exploring, and accomplishing. Instead it blindly assigns any flaw as a result of "toxic masculinity" while also ironically applying the same "toxic masculinity" it preaches against: "you need to grow up and get over yourself, things are so easy for men because we are in a patriarchy". And then when studies like the above are cited, we go around in the same circle: "men are so pathetic, they need to stop embracing toxic masculinity" while being blissfully unaware that we are the least "toxically masculine" that we've ever been in society, and yet men are suffering emotionally far more than they ever have in the past. Hint: it's the culture. We are driving innocent young men into depression, purposelessness, and masochism -- and it's shameful to see such a lack of care or empathy for it. Seriously, shame on everyone in this and the orginal article's comments that are pointing fingers and blaming this on men, rather than trying to root-cause why this is happening and working towards helping innocent young boys.
There's a pretty big spread between google-scale and needing to use a "real" queue instead of a RDBMS though. I honestly think you're better off using something like SQS to start with and taking the very minimal ops burden of the extra dependency.
By "two such viruses", I meant two novel, unpublished viruses. I don't think that requires any great conspiracy from the WIV, just the normal delays between sampling, sequencing, and publishing. RaTG13 was sampled in 2013, but the full genome wasn't published until after the pandemic.

And interesting odds. In your p = 24% case where it's natural spillover but a lab had seen the virus before people got sick, are you assuming that a researcher got infected with a naturally-evolved virus, whether directly from an animal on a sampling trip or from a culture in the lab? It's hard to see why they'd be concealing their prior knowledge of the virus otherwise.

I'd personally bet maybe 20% lab-manipulated (by a DEFUSE-like path), 50% naturally-evolved but accidentally released by researchers, 30% true natural. I'm less sure that SARS-CoV-2 needed a non-bat animal host given BANAL-52's spike, though that leaves the question of how BANAL-52 got so closely-adapted to human ACE2 rather mysterious. (I wonder if SARS-CoV-2 but with the BANAL-52 spike would infect humanized mice? I guess that's exactly the kind of curiosity that might have started this pandemic...)

As to the abundance of coronaviruses, I assume you're aware that the closest bat viruses have been collected far from Wuhan, and Dr. Shi herself didn't expect spillover in Wuhan:

> We have done bat virus surveillance in Hubei Province for many years, but have not found that bats in Wuhan or even the wider Hubei Province carry any coronaviruses that are closely related to SARS-CoV-2. I don't think the spillover from bats to humans occurred in Wuhan or in Hubei Province.

https://web.archive.org/web/20201206204844/https://www.scien...

SARS-1 emerged far from the bat caves too, but wildlife trafficking there was quickly identified as the likely conduit. I understand there's some debate as to whether civet cats (and not some other animal) were actually the proximal host for SARS-1, but that's still much stronger evidence of zoonosis than we have for SARS-CoV-2.
I believe this all depends how you're using Cloud. You have to pick the right tools for the job at the end of the day, and my choice is: all of them.

I have a small book I'm going to be releasing soon. It's going to be self published as it's an entirely online mixed media book (text, videos, quizzes, etc.) and I'm going to be packing it all into a Go binary (minus the videos, those will be on YouTube) to make deployments insanely easy.

(The binary will be less than 50MB in size - smaller than most Docker images. It can also be made to run on any OS I care about without a third party tool. Just sayin'.)

I have a 100/100 fiber line here at the office with an SLA. I have plenty of hardware too. I could self host it here, but instead I'm going hybrid.

It's simply too easy to spin up an EC2 instance fronted by an ALB, TLS being handled by ACM and DNS by Route53, all "as code" (Terraform is my weapon of choice.) I can buy that instance as a reserved instance and pay up front for the year too, reducing its cost by 45-50%.

Then I can attach that instance to an AutoScaling Group with a minimum of '1'. If I get traffic influx it will scale out to meet the demand at per-hour costs. It's more expensive but it shouldn't be for long.

If the (static) instance goes down the ASG brings one back up at "full fat" per-hour fees... but at least I'm up and running.

The landing page is static and delivered via CloudFront, and that's what most people will be hitting. The application won't even see that traffic at all.

As for on premise: I'll be self-hosting analytics here and also logs from the application and servers. Why put them on expensive compute in Cloud when I can just do it here locally on a cheap quad core with 16GB of RAM and TBs of NVMe storage? It's a no brainer really.

So you have to pick your weapon correctly. For this project, here are the weapons I'm selecting: AWS EC2, ACM, ALB, Route53, CloudFront, S3; YouTube; on-premise hardware for analytics and logs.
> I personally see a minimum of three jobs, done well, at 30 hours a week.

Concur!

It isn't that enough people arn't wildly smart enough/don't have the mental capacity to be a full-stack developer AND a penetration tester simultaneously.

It's that it just don't make sense to enough of these wildly smart people to take on what's essentially three jobs, that when done well, individually consume 30+ hours a week each.

Businesses that hire these frankenstien's monster as employees instead of contractors just don't have a clue.

It's also extremely likely these frankenstien's monsters will burn themselves out as employees essentially juggling three jobs as a salaried flat rate employee.

The only scenario in which being this frankenstien's monster make sense is to bootstrap a consultancy as a founder or a contractor, sign up enough clients and scale out by hiring specialist employees.

The only reason why these frankenstien's monsters happen (outside being a founder or a contractor and I am talking exclusively about employees here) is that employee started off as one type (full-stack developer OR a penetration tester), failed to find employment and cross trained into the other, where they found employment.

For example, without knowing any details, it's likely the full-stack developer AND a penetration tester started off as a penetration tester, failed to find employment and cross trained into full-stack developer. Of course, devil lies in the details, so if the full-stack developer failed to find employment as one but noticed significant demand for penetration testing, they could very well have become a penetration tester.

Empirically a penetration tester doesn't have either time or energy to be an effective full-stack developer or vice versa, especially outside a founder or a contractor role in a bootstrap stage.

AFAIK civilian jets don't have radar. They do have TCAS which uses radio transponders but both aircraft must be using such a system and it isn't required in aircraft that carry less than 10 passengers apparently.
"It doesn’t have high up front engineering costs like geothermal."

You are commenting on an article about how scientists had to build a reactor out of berillium and tungsten.

Have you ever touched those materials? Is there any berillium in your car, or your washing machine? If you go around your neighbourhood looking for someone who can weld or work tungsten, will you find anyone? Can you buy a tool on amazon that will cut tungsten?

The number of facilities that can produce precision-enginered thousand-ton vacuum vessel with exotic materials, are counted with fingers on one hand.

> Tritium is very exotic, and fuel cost is a small and irrelevant cost to fission powerplant

This is downright delusional, solar is the only technology that you can go and buy off the shelf and it is much cheaper than an MRI machine, any joe with basic electrical education can put together a solar power system and poor people in developing nations do it. Anyone who thinks that fusion will be easier than slapping solar panels together is smoking some serious dope

First, anyone with under $100K per year of cloud expense should probably just suck it up and keep going. You have more important fish to fry than to worry about cloud lock-in.

Second, if you've got more than $10M per year of cloud expense you most likely should be thinking about switching to a hybrid model. You have the resources to manage your own computers as well as analyze your expenses and should be using the cloud companies when it saves money. The biggest problem at this level is that your employees probably use "cloud" as a way to bypass your IT department because they're not responsive enough because everybody with an MBA thinks of IT as a "cost center" and shortchanges it.

Third, I think this gives WAY too much credit to the competence of modern large enterprises. The fact that Oracle isn't bankrupt demonstrates that competence and technical execution really don't dominate the enterprise business cycle. And Microsoft really didn't have all that much control until Office365--I've never heard anybody talk about losing control of their desktop spend as all they had to do was slow down the refresh cycle on their desktops to control that cost. It's only been since Office365 that things have changed--and the mid-tier businesses love Office365 because now they don't have to deal with managing Outlook anymore.

In between $100K and $10M cloud spend, however, is a tough spot. I suspect that answer is still "just keep going" and that delivering features requested by marketing and sales is more important than reducing cloud spend.
FWIW, I went through the exact opposite progression of what you described (Fusion->FreeCAD->OpenSCAD), and I liked OpenSCAD the best. I feel like I've gotten good models out of it, and have done elaborate enough stuff in the process.

I suppose there's no accounting for taste.
To me, the people in these pictures look absolutely normal and natural, unlike the ridiculously "enhanced" (often by the camera itself) photos which are far more common today.

More opportunity to adjust one’s appearance with disposable income today?

These are from The Depression, so there'd certainly not be much in the way of wearing cosmetics. Frankly, I think the modern trend of making people's skin almost plastic-like in appearance looks very weird and unnatural.
