Indeed.

"Fighting Climate Change" is all sunshine and rainbows and photovoltaics until you realise that the messaging has been thoroughly usurped by an anti-civilisation regressive agenda. They don't want people using cleaner energy; they primarily want people using less energy; they sell that goal with promotion of "eco" and "green" etc.

I want us to use more AND cleaner energy; one without the other is a civilisation-level failure.
I mean… Russia is still a superpower that spans two continents and is a capable of encircling the defenses of mid sized European states within days.

It’s not as if Russia has no power, no population, no resources, and no economy simply because a few sanctions were placed on it.

Plus, Russia put into place hard restrictions on exchanging currency keeping the value from plummeting out of mere panic.

Not arguing your statements, they make sense, but with this logic, horrible amoral inhumane things can be done (and are done daily) to innocent civilians basically forever, anywhere... not something I can accept.

Not that my opinion makes any meaningful impact on global scale, but I do at least vote with wallet and don't buy any Israeli products. I respect their military prowess but I have much higher moral expectations from place I will anyhow support with my money.
Fascinating! I may have to read that.
The old regime in south Africa prior to 1994 was a "western ally". Reagan and Thatcher turned a blind eye to Apartheid (and sometime supported it) because the South African government was "anti-communist", or at least they dressed their oppression in that language of "total onslaught of Soviet communism" and that was more important to the west.

The new regime in south Africa has some nostalgia for the assistance offered to them by the USSR back then, that is why they abstained on the vote on UN resolution against Russian attack on Ukraine.

In some ways it was a proxy war.

Why? That doesn't make the data accurate. They are still bad data, and DMV records already allow this supposed attack far more effectively and directly. This munging of data doesn't do what it is purported to do. It is security theatre and just a pretense at security.

It landed in an area of Zagreb called Jarun. There’s also a place in Ukraine called Yarun. I think someone entered Jarun on Google Maps, selected the wrong place and entered the coordinates without looking.

More worrying is that no detection system has seen it.

I've recently fixed a VCR from the 90s, connected it to a TV from the 80s (I collect retro stuff..), put some old VHS tape and I must say that the experience is really enjoyable - the whole mechanical operation and even the poor quality. VHS tapes have a distinct look and sound that can affect the perception of a movie, especially horrors seem more scary because the picture isn't as clean and sharp which helps hide any imperfections that would otherwise ruin the illusion of "realism". It's similar to vinyls - you wouldn't want to use it daily, but from time to time it's fun to do something "the analog way" :-)
That number likely came from the 2018 IPCC report which said pretty much this: if something does not happen then by 2030 the there is no realistic pathway to stay belos 2C increase in temperature. World would not end in 2030, but irreversible change would be locked in. Obviously AOC might have been simplifying this or whoever reported on it might have dumbed it down or pushed their own agenda.
In the Nordics the baseline is triple glazed windows and mechanical ventilation with exhaust air heat recovery. I'm sure doing the same elsewhere would be a good start at least

+1 / thank you to everyone who added the conditioning causative effect to thread
the point is that these effects are difficult to predict. The challenge is that a changing climate may upset ecological balances in ways that are difficult to predict and difficult to counter.

Take the indian subcontinent as a great example. That is a region of a billion people dependent entirely on the monsoon for water. The region is surrounded by deserts to the west and north. If the monsoon is disrupted due to climate change, what will happen to those billion people? It's worse still if you consider that glacial meltwater from the himalayas also feeds China's largest rivers.

On the flip side, too much rain and there is also a disaster.

This is the point - we don't know what will happen but can be certain it will be bad.
I am not sure I agree on the natural gas idea. Methane is 28 times more potent than carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas. It can be very efficient at point of combustion vs coal or oil. The problem is the drilling, extraction, and pipeline leaks.

Many developing countries are near the equator and can take advantage of solar. The distributed nature of solar is also a benefit for countries that lack infrastructure. Why not start with a cleaner solution? Countries in Africa and South America can increase their use of hydroelectric power as well.
Now I understand your question. It is possible that because the first and second wife are not registered with the state, the men are "marrying" for the first (official) time. That could even be why this practice is usually done for the third- and forth- wife, and not the first or second. It is possible that these marriage are the "official" state-registered marriage. That's my guess, I don't really know.
The fraction of site visitors who are tourists may be low, but I expect it to be a segment with relatively more money that also is in the mood to spend on certain things. Looks like an audience google can charge more for.
I'm optimistic about Europe. I think the division we have seen in the last decade with Brexit and Fidesz and Le Pen and Farage will shrink back, when people see Russia as a dangerous example of what it leads to, and hopefully see how fragile democracy is and how hard (and important) it can be to protect it, in Ukraine. The EU and Europe as a whole has really come together. I also think that the refugee situation will be a non-issue. I wouldn't have thought so even a month ago, but now I'm optimistic about that too.

The "help from the west" I hope will come from e.g. that assets now frozen in London, Switzerland and elsewhere can be transfered to Ukraine as war reparations from Russia.
I'm more pessimistic about the future when it comes to China/Taiwan, Russia (How do we even handle having a pariah state on par with Iran but the size of Russia on our doorstep?).
Bill McKibben has an idea for fighting climate change and Putin at the same time. Basically, he has a plan to get Europe decarbonized enough by next winter that it doesn't need Russian gas or oil.

I don't condone this law, but I think people here are missing an opportunity for understanding. I see so much black-vs-white moral righteousness on HN lately when really, the world is a sea of grey. And understanding a thing does not mean agreeing with a thing. But a little empathy might soften the inflammatory rhetoric.

Israel is proud of their Jewish heritage, and are generally surrounded by millions of people from other ethnic and religious backgrounds who hate them. I mean, it is very common to hear people in countries near Israel openly calling for death to the Jews or destruction of the Jewish state (essentially advocating genocide). Hell, I remember tweets from the Ayatollah promoting violence against Israel, and Twitter just let it fly.

In light of all the historical context and current geographical situation, I can understand the motivation to have a law like this. Whether it's morally just, effective, or just openly racist is certainly up for debate, but to me it is not so clear-cut as others would say.

I'd expect them to be more creative, but energy consumption's gonna do I guess
> Electrification requires energy-efficiency savings.

I don't think it does. In principle, you could stay relatively inefficient with low cost to the climate as long as you were drawing power from overprovisioned wind and solar. Of course, that energy may be better spent elsewhere so efficiency is critical, but we can't get carbon emissions down to zero by only increasing efficiency of systems that ultimately draw power from coal and natural gas power plants.
Yes, this.

Once upon a time (a few dozen years ago at most) a company was expected to not only provide for its own longevity, but to provide tangible benefits to its community (good paying jobs that allowed their employees to support their families being one such benefit). We look back on the historical exceptions (AT&T, Standard Oil Co., etc.) because they were exceptions (and because of how they were dismantled by the government - another lesson companies should take).
> ..which is just lazy. If you're not willing to do the work to solve your problem, why should we?

Eh, don't think I agree here. The initial ask is low-effort but so is the initial response expected ("I could help, what's up?"). It seems fair to want to aim for something like:

A: low effort ask
B: low effort response
A: high effort ask now that you know someone's listening
B: high effort response

to avoid things like:

A: high effort ask
(no one's around, effort wasted)
The definitions are crime-based:

In US law it is the practice of engaging in financial transactions to conceal the identity, source, or destination of illegally gained money. In UK law the common law definition is wider. The act is defined as "taking any action with property of any form which is either wholly or in part the proceeds of a crime that will disguise the fact that that property is the proceeds of a crime or obscure the beneficial ownership of said property".
Innovation is tricky. In practice it often boils down to the ability to generate hype around bad ideas, as there is no process for reliably exchanging money for (useful) new ideas.

That's all well and good if you want to make money, the market operates on hype, but it's less good if you need to make some particular change quickly.
Don't take this the wrong way but I've had a quick glance at your website and I don't see what's different from your competitors.

Looking at the homepage all I see is "yet another" .... yet another screening tool, yet another charting tool, yet another analyst expectations tool, yet another watchlist tool.

And frankly, for a company that claims its all about "investment education for everyone", I don't know why you are selling stuff that does not work.

Screening tools don't work. They don't work as a pure concept (i.e. there's no magic screen to make money / avoid loosing money). They don't work on the basis that you are mostly screening against lagging data (company reported financials). In the right hands screening tools can sometimes give you something resembling a "shortlist", but there's still a whole load of donkey work to be done after that to verify/validate.

Technical analysis (reading tea leaves on charts) doesn't work either.

Analyst expectations ? Give me a break. Most analysts are sell-side, not buy-side.

Its like come on guys. If you're about "investment education for everyone" then you really need to do the Right Thing (TM) and explain to people there's no magic wand, there's no shortcut to hard work, and explain to people what they really should be doing, i.e. understanding what they are investing in (understand the company, understand the industry, understand the geo-political context), and explaining people how to evaluate their appetite for risk and how to invest within that risk profile.
Ultimately this is probably the key to change. As of yet Israel has had carte blanche to do what it wanted because the U.S. wants to have a proxy and looks the other way. Aid should be conditional on a sustainable solution, otherwise the U.S. is virtually complicit. This game of "we didn't make them do it" and showering them with cash and arms isn't fooling most people. I don't see how the country can go on pretending it doesn't have the capacity to strongly influence an outcome, it's just that the aggregate political will is not there yet.
You probably haven’t watched a VHS tape recently. I’ve not come across one that’s degraded by simply sitting on a shelf (or in a garage that got up to 120ºF each summer for the past nearly 20 years.
Never mentions his concern. Devolves into identity politic opinion piece.
The simple way to show that anyone on TV (besides e.g. "Democracy Now") got it right by a particular date would be to link to a recording or transcript of an example.
Thanks for the response. Your example of someone recognizing you from different comment sections is exactly the thing that concerns me.

I do think giving writers the choice to enable anonymous commenting would help to improve things, although it's a little bit closing the barn door after the horse bolted, since we can't go back and anonymize comments that we already made. If allowing different pseudonyms (including avatar) for different newsletters isn't on the cards, I think the idea mentioned elsewhere of allowing the app to compile multiple logins into a single client-side feed could make the existing workaround of creating multiple accounts a bit less painful.

Either way, despite my frustrations with the identity behavior, I do appreciate the platform you have built, and how it seems to have revitalized the blogosphere. I also very much like the focus on email, since it allows me to read whenever I want instead of just when my device is online. So thanks for helping shift the culture of online writing in this way.
IMO Restore Privacy [1] is a reliable source for VPN recommendations. For what it's worth, I use Surfshark and am very happy with them (except the lack of a kill switch in the CLI app and the lack of a Linux GUI client).

my primary alertness / relax goto these days was wholly unplanned -- swapped out a morning nasal saline in lieu of flonase to eliminate yet another medication, and turns out it also boosts alertness / relaxes -- so now just do morning and night &/or if needed during day plus sinuses way more clear in morning

Perhaps referring to:

> The Naturalization Act of 1790 (1 Stat. 103, enacted March 26, 1790) was a law of the United States Congress that set the first uniform rules for the granting of United States citizenship by naturalization. The law limited naturalization to "free White person(s) ... of good character", thus excluding Native Americans, indentured servants, slaves, free black people and later Asians, although free black people were allowed citizenship at the state level in a number of states.

Ah this is perfectly timed--many of the old garden-focused azimuth / altitude / persephone day calculators are defunct and never handled the problem of cast shadows very well in the first place. Nice work!
What I have in mind is rather different. Imagine your phone simulating a Pockit experience, except the sensor modules are what your phone already provides (e.g geolocation, gyroscope, accelerometer, etc), the I/O are simulated buttons/sliders and screens.

That's what I'm thinking.
All this stuff was made in high cost countries in the early 80s, manufacturing was still in the US Or Japan at this point and by the 80s Japan was not really a "cheap" country.

That had a lot to do with it. Consumers were not used to getting cheap electronics yet nor was collecting media normalized except LPs and Cassettes (mid-80s). Stuff was expensive and people just didn't buy as much of it.

We had a VCR really early cause my father worked at GE in the early 80s in a TV/VCR/Cable TV division. He got the VCR free I think at work. The only time we got new movies was when one of his co-workers would bring a VCR over and they would hook the two up and pirate movies. FWIW that early VCR lasted 20+ years.. it was built like a tank and I remember tearing it apart in the 2000s along with a broken Samsung from the early 2000s and comparing the two and it was pretty fascinating how things had changed.

I think a lot of us who were 80s kids who can practically recite Star Wars got that way cause we had a very small collection of movies cause they were so expensive. We had the 3 SW movies and Superman 2 and I watched those over and over.

Computer equipment was the same way, just about out of reach for most. My dad moved into network equipment and internet stuff by the mid 80s and we had a PC or Mac almost all the way through the 80s but it was always a loading dock discard that my father would grab from work before the computer went into the trash when they upgraded. I don't think he ever paid a dime for a computer till about 1993. When I went to college in 1995 I bought a laptop and it was an obscene purchase for an 18 year old, I could have bought a pretty nice used car instead.
I keep a list of things in teuxdeux (teuxdeux.com) which I quite like, but also frequently use a little "list notebook" I keep in my pocket because there's something about pen and paper I find stimulates my neurons better.
Why did they both say "Russians" and Russian Soldiers " then? They made the distinction and then included both. It's hard to take to blame people for thinking that basically means civilians too when they explicitly didn't just limit it to Russian soldiers. It's such an obviously ambiguous statement that was not even needed in the first place.

But yeah I'm sure Meta will be able to verify the military status of everyone that's being threatened or mobbed on Facebook.
Very neat! An idea that often came up amongst coworkers while walking to a lunch spot during the hot summers was being able to get walking directions that preferred routes in shadow. We had our own routes we came up with that didn't add much time to the total trip but had a massive increase in shade versus almost none on the fastest route.

This reminds me a lot of that, though you would need good data on building heights and shapes as well as which side of the sidewalk you would walk on (if walking on both is even possible). Would love to see that get created some day.
Is Israel losing its support? Hasn't quantifiable monetary support towards Israel been growing for decades?

Just look at the list of US allies and the kind of laws they pass, think of Arabia Saudi, a good US ally that had been tormenting Yemen for years now. Is the US population clamoring to stop collaboration with this country? Of course not, most people wouldn't know the first thing about this.

I think sometimes we overestimate how much governments are willing to do just because people are not fine with it, assuming they actually have any understanding of what's going on.

And if you meant moral support by the citizens of other countries I'm not sure how much Israel cares about that.
Awesome work! I'm using it to figure out the shadows cast by the Twin Towers (417 m. and 415 m., North and South towers, respectively) at different times of the day and different dates. They were truly gargantuan buildings.

I don't think it was built with the intention of subjugation, but I think it has been a consequence of its implementation and politics. I do think there is a version of a Jewish state that doesn't behave like this, but its current political consensus is not that state.
The easiest way is to just use the Flutter binding.

> Even though I am against Putin's invasion of Ukraine, he also has a "justification" like the West does (for its invasions of 84 countries). NATO has expanded 5 times to the East and now borders Russia. Placed its nukes, ballistic missiles on all the member states. All pointing at Russia 24/7.

Maybe Putin should have formed a defensive organization like NATO to give it some padding, instead of trying to take over.

> Was USA chill when Soviet Union wanted to place its nukes in Cuba? Have you forgotten the Cuban missile crisis?

Do you think the Cuban Missile Crisis looked anything like what we're seeing in Ukraine right now?
That wasn't a central bank anything like a central bank acts today. It was more a "national bank". It wasn't lender of last resort. It didn't regulate other banks. Banks didn't have an account there. It didn't play a part in settling payments like the fed does now.

You can read a little about that bank here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Bank_of_the_United_State...

By comparison, modern central banks like the Fed are very interwoven into the banking system and financial system and have a lot of power. They settle interbank payments. They set interest rates for short term lending between them. They regulate banks. They supervise banks. They do all kinds of buying and selling of securities. There isn't anything to my knowledge to suggest Hamilton was imagining something like the Fed.
