I personally do not see the problem.

Physically Based Rendering: From theory to implementation (2016)
This is the main reason I’ve been watching Star Trek TNG recently. If anyone could recommend some vaguely optimistic sci-fi books that would be amazing.
Nah, I'm once removed.

I had professors who were active during the time and gave me the rundown. I have touched EPROMs and all that good stuff, still part of the labs at my college and my professor liked talking about "the good ol days". But I've never in fact used them in any practical manner.
Lunch meat manufacturers do the same thing, so this goes beyond bacon (which everyone knows is unhealthy and shouldn't be eaten all the time).

I'd be very interested to see a review of this article by someone who's familiar with the history and pace of Bell Labs' innovations. The central idea sounds plausible to me: that Bell was extremely innovative because it was focused on a single problem (make phones more profitable) that had a great many areas for incremental improvement (like interference, usability, durability, etc).

... innovation comes from exploring the adjacent possible.

The adjacent possible is an idea that comes from Stewart Kaufmann and describes how evolutionary systems grow - at any given point you’ve got the set of things that already exist, and the adjacent possible is the set of things that could exist as the next generation from the current possibilities.

Could that help explain why some of the current tech majors aren't particularly good at innovation? Taking Google as an example: they've innovated a lot in all the adjacent areas of search. But outside of search, their results have been pretty mediocre; the problems weren't adjacent.
That’s weird. Unsubscribe is supposed to automatically “log you in” with one-click. By law. See CAN-Spam.
Maybe we need a compulsory license for all kinds of streaming just like we have for radio in US.

Sodium nitrites are a sinus headache trigger for me. I tried the uncured stuff and got a headache. After a little research I learned about celery powder naturally having it. Really disingenuous way to market it. I still eat pork belly (actually uncured bacon) regularly.

It took reading it a few times to figure out that you can slam antiprotons into liquid helium and end up with a shelf stable helium/antimatter hybrid atoms.

That is the part that amazes me... I had no idea that was even possible. I wonder what other atoms this would work with?
I have it right now, got it from my wife. The whole family has it - 10yo and 17yo daughters. Three of us are "fully vaccinated", the youngest is of course not vaccinated. Here's the current status:

- my 52yo wife, started to show symptoms last Sunday with headache, cough and fever. Still has around 38°C fever, muscle and stomach pain, headache, spaced-out feeling. She's using paracetamol against the headache, no further medication.

- my 17yo daughter, started showing symptoms on Monday. Fever is on its way out, current 37.3°C. She had a headache and a sore throat but those are gone now.

- my 10yo daughter. Woke up yesterday morning with a 39.8°C fever and a slight headache but was remarkably bright given her temperature. Today her fever is gone, she's mostly fine but we'll keep her home this week out.

- me, 56yo, got symptoms on Tuesday with a 38.8°C fever. Took 0.2mg/kg Ivermectin and sat in the bright sun for an hour to get Vitamin D up (at 3°C air temperature), no further medication. Today the fever is going down, this morning it was 38.4°C, now 37.5°C. Still coughing a little bit every now and then, taking it easy to allow my body to tackle the infection.

Conclusions are that the vaccines do not help against infection (which was known already), that children sail through this easily (which was known already) and that Ivermectin may be effective (which was known already).
As someone who semi-regularly looks around to consider upgrading my monitors I have to say this article seems pretty terrible. Finding a monitor that is the right size, has the right resolution, connects via a cable/standard you want, has the right refresh rate, etc is hell, especially if you want 4-5K+. I ended up settling on 3x2K 27" about 3 years ago but was interested in the Apple Studio Display. I think it's a little outside my budget to grab 3 of them but the way this article brushes it off as uninteresting is astounding to me.

> The real issue is that $1,599 is a lot of money, and here, it’s buying you panel tech that is woefully behind the curve.

Behind what curve? It's $300 more than the LG UltraFine's I can find online and has about the same panel tech as far as I can tell. While the LG UltraFine is older it's still unmatched from what I understand listening to various tech podcasts. It's damming to me that the Verge couldn't/didn't mention a single other monitor that has all this better tech they allude to.

> For those of you that don’t care about pixel-perfect macOS with no scaling, $1,599 will sound frankly ridiculous, and there are lots of other fascinating displays to think about, including a number of OLEDs, some neat ultrawides, and plenty of displays that support higher refresh rates.

Links please? When I search for "27" OLED 5K" I'm not finding much at all. I don't want an ultrawide/curved/>27" display.

* LG UltraFine 5K 27" [0] for $1,319

* I see mentions of "Iiyama ProLite XB2779QQS" [1] but it's unavailable [2] and I've never heard of this brand

> There are $379 TVs with more advanced local-dimming backlights than this.

This is such a silly argument, show me a 5K TV with local-dimming for $379. I don't know much about display tech but I do understand there are tradeoffs between refresh rate, resolution, LCD/IPS/OLED, monitor size, monitor price. You cannot simply adjust those various value to what you want (like taking them all to the max) and find a monitor that exists. There are tradeoffs all over the place when it comes to monitors. Finding a semi-related (no, TV's are not the same as monitors) product that has 1 specific feature and using that price point is disingenuous at best.

I understand the arguments about the webcam but it feels like they hang a lot of the article on that feature and I, for one, don't care. You could remove the camera/mic/speakers and it would still be attractive me even at the same price. Would I like it to be cheaper? Always, but if wishes were horses...

The numbers seem to indicate some challenges. This is just back of the envelope and this isn't my field so I may be misinterpreting the data, but it looks like extracting 1 million tons of CO2 per year has the following costs (at lab scale values):

* > 1 Billion dollars

* > 5 Million MWhr

Assuming 200 Kg/MWhr of CO2 emissions produced by electrical generation (I believe the average carbon intensity in the USA is over 400 Kg/MWhr) the emissions produced (just for the electricity to do the extraction) is 1 Million Tons of CO2.

Thus, it looks like with the current estimates the process costs 1 Billion dollars and doesn't reduce CO2 at all. Like ethanol, I wonder if this process will be worth it in the end. I don't know what raw materials it requires and how much CO2 is generated in their extraction and production. It's possible that your belief that at industrial scale the CO2 intensity and dollar cost will go down, but are you even accounting for the CO2 cost of manufacturing the facility, transportation of raw materials, etc.

Based on what you've said, you really should give org-mode a shot. (And org doesn't even have to be text only!) Given that word-wrapping is a priority for you, be sure to turn on org-indent mode and visual line mode. This gives you traditional outliner formatting with the indentation you'd traditionally expect (similar to how OneNote indents blocks) and proper word-wrapping.

Although org has a huge ecosystem (org-roam is quite good), you don't need to go beyond plain org-mode if all you want is the features and general working model of OneNote. It's basically all there, batteries included.
> assuming its a distributed service vs one server for a multi-billion$ company also group of humans built this service, so its not gonna be perfect :shrug:

Regardless of any of that, it still is proven to be unreliable. It is also not an excuse to go all in and risk being fully dependent on GitHub (and their services) and tolerate such downtimes and run to HN and complain about it each month.

> companies that use such tools and in trust all the business process to a provided service and do consider an event like this is a blocker should build in contingency plans or accept that there is no real 5-nines of availability more like 90-98%

Then I should see no-one being surprised or complaining about 'GitHub having issues' or 'GitHub is down again' whilst also using it for GitHub actions, pages, issues or pushing their changes and they are not paying for GitHub Enterprise or some higher plan; especially serious open source project like Mozilla, Chromium, etc. That's why they self-host.

Until the next time GitHub goes down again (hopefully that won't be in another month's time).

You mean how much more stuff have we bought with the same amount of money.

In term of pure environmental impact I suspect environmental protection is easier to push for domestically when you can move the high impact but environmentally damaging industries to other countries.
no one uses Debian on s/390 for anything important anyway
In short, there is always that risk. We are exploring with partners how to minimize it.

Subterranean mineralization is a fascinating path too and may help with some leakage concerns.

We believe that CaCO3 can work in some small-scale contexts but it takes up a lot of volume/mass when done at industrial scale -- finding somewhere to put all the CaCO3 is a challenge, as is moving it there and avoiding negative impacts that come with it. Someone else in this thread made a good comment about this too.

>For images, there's a finally successor to jpeg

We've heard this a few times... JPEG2000, WebP, HEIF, AVIF. I bet JPEG XL will finally be it!
Sure they're free. I can get them for $0.

If that statement is wrong, then 'open source just means source-available' is also wrong, for the same reasons. People who release OSI 'open source' software call it open source, people like GitHub who talk about licenses use OSI's definition, and people who release closed-source-available software clarify that it's not 'open source', using those words. The only people who treat 'open source' as meaning 'source available' are people who say 'free software' and want you to too.

And when you say 'free and open-source', the 'free' in that phrase does mean $0 - you wouldn't need 'open-source' if free meant FSF 'free' and open-source meant source-available, because FSF 'free' software requires source availability, so 'and open source' would be redundant.

Therefore you can either interpret FOSS as meaning $0 and source-available, or $0 and OSI 'open source'. The former would not have been false advertising, as it is in fact $0 and source-available. Therefore the interpretation the court is going with almost certainly involves OSI 'open source'.
Not all crashes in C or C++ can give you a meaningful stack trace. Lots of time there is heap corruption, or stack corruption.

Safe Rust has the same properties as a managed language, one is going to spend an order of magnitude less time hunting for bugs.
Two confusing ones I hear are:

“It’s my right, your left” (not common but has occurred multiple times).

The more frequent one is where someone is trying to say “medial side of left leg” and say “it’s the right side of of my left leg”.
We do that. While it's good, it's not as good as cured meats, where spices have had the time to soak in, the surface saltiness only stay for a few bites. I'd try marinating it, but I'm unsure about possible health risk in leaving opened raw pork in unprotected air for any amount of time.

Actionable depends on your needs. As always the typical answer you receive from an analyst is: It depends.

Sorry, couldn't resist the in joke of the team I am part of.

But let me try an example. Visits as a global metric don't tell you much. They go up, they go down. And even if you do different marketing things (like SEA, newsletters, social media marketing, organic social and so on) and only look at visits from NY of these channels that doesn't tell you much (except for the volume).

But if you look at what a visit from every one of these channels costs you on average we are getting somewhere. Add into the mix the conversion rate for every one of these channels (depending on your goals it could be e-commerce conversions, newsletter sign-ups, sign-ups for a platform and so on). Now you can already see cost per acquisition/visit and cost per conversion.

So now you can answer the question about what marketing efforts bring more bang for the buck.

That is one example of how I define actionable metrics. Metrics that help you/enable you to make better business decisions.

How I would structure and report things depends on the business. But maybe this gives you an idea already.
I think it’s referring to this definition from a 2018 paper:

https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.10143

“An extended type system with lambda-typed lambda-expressions”

If I understand it correctly, it implies that a type itself may be a function.
I think backing companies like Google and Netflix don't care about that. They need hardware decoding support in phones and TVs, and they will serve av1 from their platforms and save a lot of money. It might become the dominant codec without you even noticing it.
Great write up. I learned plenty for upcoming private reverse engineering projects !

Any idea why this cabinet uses EPOS?

My point was that the EU commission has a much better reputation than the American one for actually caring about anticompetitive behavior, and even they said that Amazon can buy MGM unconditionally.
You are right that amines are great at removing CO2 and other acid gases from input gas streams and has been used in submarines/natural gas/many other industries. Can't speak publicly to our process just yet!
Doctors who use Google Translate to talk to patients want a better option
You abuse the pronoun “we” - I consider him a heroic figure, highly flawed, plus - for better and worse - symbolic of the opening of the new world, totally acknowledging the negative impacts. ..And have zero problem with statues of the guy.

I think that’s more the norm with people, if they even think about Columbus at all.

The problem with contemporary dialogue is the refusal to allow for grey zones, for nuanced and balanced viewpoints. Who is this “we” that you project upon? Do you consider that this presumption and projection may by symptomatic of a neuroticism unique to a overly loud illiberal subculture in the US? I do, it’s all that gives me faith in the survival of the greater whole.
And the government happily agrees because a) more scope creep, more budget, more better and b) easy political brownie points from the portion of the population that think the government should be involved in everything. When was the last time you heard a government agency say "no we don't want to be responsible for managing the definition of some already somewhat nebulously defined industry product, doing that is not an effective use of resources in light of our mandate"?
there is a big distinction to be made here... netplan solves host network configuration where openconfig solves router network configuration, the latter being much more complicated.

>I honestly don't care which page gets more traffic — I don't get paid for traffic to web pages. I get paid by customers who subscribe and pay for using my software because it brings them value (continuously).

If you apply that thinking to other areas it doesn't make as much sense e.g. 'I don't care if my site takes 2 minutes to load. I don't get paid for how fast my site loads. I get paid by customers who subscribe and pay for using my software because it brings them value.'

Like sure, that's not what you are directly paid for but it doesn't necessarily mean the data can't help you increase signups.

If you think of it in ML terms - that's extra data that would likely increase a theoretical model's accuracy as it's not fully covered by your other (more important) metrics. Except in this case the model is you and it's possible the extra work isn't worth it for the benefit which could be tiny.
I bet Apple or Android will probably include adding emojis the same in their photo/crop edit tools in a year or two.

I guess you may not remember the a.out to ELF transition, which was a "Big Bang" event. Before ELF, shared libraries did not use position independent code and so load addresses had to be globally coordinated (with extra space left for a library to grow in size!). That was libc.so.4 (old libc, a.out) -> libc.so.5 (old libc, ELF) and Linux 1.2. I don't recall if there were libc < 4. Google says this happened in around 1995. The libc.so.5 (old libc, ELF) to libc.so.6 (glibc 2.0) transition happened a little later in 1997.
point in time data doesn't really help as you mentioned. But if one can segment this and compare and contrast with other cohorts there could be other items that could be work taking some action on.
No, what I mean is that producing great art usually has a high cost. A particular work of art might have been created just in the spur of a moment, but the artist getting to that point usually had a cost, too.

Consuming art often is free indeed, but this should not be confused with the cost of producing it, and I had the feeling that the comment I originally answered to did just that.
Routing is money, ISPs need to pay more for better routing

Trade associations do this, too [EDIT: directly, that is, not just via lobbying]. I once saw someone on this very site (weakly, to be fair to the poster) defend Google's poor labeling of their ads on the search screen with something along the lines of "they're just following the guidelines set forth by [trade association]".

Which is exactly the reaction they try to get by laundering their preferences through trade associations. That's the point. An illusion of some kind of authority keeping companies in check, while actually it's those very companies setting the rules, to deflect criticism and stave off actual regulation.
Nitrates are in everything. That's part of the point of this article: you can cure bacon with celery extract. Anyways, this subthread begs the question. What we're debating is the health risk of nitrates. The parent comment asks, essentially, "do nitrates matter? bacon is already unhealthy".
I agree with your thermodynamics, I'm just concerned about finding a volume big enough to store climatically meaningful amounts of CO2 in that form. 40 billion metric tons per year of CO2 in the form you describe is around 30 billion cubic meters, and you need to find that much storage volume every year just to keep things from getting worse. If you want to actually make a dent, like rolling things back to the year 2000 (which likely isn't enough, but is a real impact), that's more like 600 billion metric tons or 450 billion cubic meters. That's roughly equivalent to 400 mountains 5000 feet tall. It's a huge volume of material we're talking about finding a place to store if we're actually trying to make a real dent in climate change.
Ok and the fact remains, that the vast majority of experts in the field dismiss MMT as something that doesn't provide much of value to the field.

Thats the important part here. Whatever your opinion is on any of this, basically all the actual people who know what they are talking about, disagree and think that MMT is basically valueless.

I bailed after the second episode because of this. A character sacrificed himself by closing a door from the outside to stop an air leak, shortly after they discovered remote controlled flying robots. I figured if they were already making everyone into idiots to force conflict and crisis I was better off rewatching SG-1.

Not to mention that you get at most as much kinetic energy out as you put in, minus losses to atmospheric drag and what's needed to drop the orbit (you have to burn retrograde to return from orbit).
