As someone who is strongly wants to "get rid of cars and switch everyone to public transit and cycling" -- no one is talking about doing this in rural areas. Should we decrease reliance on cars in cities and focus more on alternative forms of transport? Yes. Will this work in rural areas? No, of course not.
This is an interesting lab setup, but...

Are underwater cables ever not paired? HVDC are always coaxial, so... No field.

Edit: paired but not always coaxial, so it's possible to get a small field.
Yes, honestly, a good aluminium frame is preferable to carbon for 90% of people. The small tradeoff in weight and vibration/stiffness characteristics is really not worth the loss in structural integrity, money, and peace of mind.
See my other comment about CO2, with enough energy all things are possible.

There is something called the "phosphorous cycle" but its a lot like oil and does not replenish anywhere near the rate we consume it.
Please do! B6 and Zinc! They both play a role in the pathways that make catecholamines.

I don't want to have to keep track of charging yet another device, esp one as important and frequently used as headphones. Heck, some days I forget to plug in my phone to charge let alone headphones. Not worth the headache esp when there is another version of the device available with "infinite battery life". If some people prefer wireless and don't mind having to deal the potential inconvenience of always having it charged then more power to them... my problem is when companies try to push wireless headphones on us by taking away the 3.5mm jack.
To speak to Troika just a bit as someone who read the rule book and played like one session:

A lot of the Troika book is character profiles/archetypes/etc. if you tell someone this is a wild game, make up your craziest character, they will probably not be as “out there” as the provided archetypes. You roll 2d6, and get a refined alien cannibal (well, not exactly a cannibal, I guess, someone who wants to eat other characters) or a character that has become “enlightened” (chemically, surgically? I can’t remember) to the point they have very little thought. So anyway, between wacky characters and wacky skills, that’s what in the troika book. Some simple rules, No setting aside from a one session adventure, but flavorful skills and character ideas.
Out of curiosity, are there any institutions that meets a “pure” research standard? NIST?

Or is that standard unattainable because undue influence exists everywhere?
This is why we need a federated protocol. Most people can just trust a major player. More technically inclined people can host their own.
Similarly, a sure-fire way to tell someone hasn't lived in a place where you haven't needed a car for every aspect of life is when they criticize anti-car policy without engaging with the deeper reasons behind it :)

I think a lot of the pushback against cars have to do with the popularization of human-centric design movements that question the assumption that cars are the pinnacle of transportation that American cities have operated from since about the 1950s. An easy example is the idea of "induced demand" [1] that shows even from a pure engineering perspective that the cost-benefit math for cars has long been unfairly weighted towards cars by outside forces.

We're seeing a lot of pressure around housing and energy and social policy in general which in turn is making us question decisions we've made, culturally, in history, like can we really sustain the building of less dense housing for our growing population? Does it make sense to give every family 0.75 acres of grass, 400 sqft of driveway and a 2 car garage, when those things are only used some of the time? Might there be better ways to approach the utilization of that space as a population?

I'm rambling now, but I get frustrated when people dismiss concerns like that out of hand. Can the US ever totally get rid of cars? No, not for a hundred years at least. Having a good 80 years of city planning being focused around every adult having their own vehicle is of course going to e difficult to move away from, and there are certain lifestyles (rural living, farming, regions where building trains is more impractical) that it'll just never be a great idea... but I still think it's worth interrogating these assumptions we've carried to see if there's a better way we could be living life.

The way my UK employer handles this is to add N extra days to your holiday/leave allowance, where N is 80% (or whatever % of fulltime you work) of the number of public holidays in a year; then they require you to book any public holidays which would be on your usual working days from your leave allowance. The net effect is that everybody gets the pro-rata fair number of extra days whatever their part-time schedule is, and nobody is in the office on a public holiday.
Perhaps the elegance is more in the concept of the spreadsheet and less in the Excel implementation of the concept.
We desperately need a qubes equivalent for Android. People must run apps to live a normal life these days but have no tools to compartmentalize which apps get what data.
Unfortunately I can’t

> Get back to us with real numbers for non-farm use of water and you may have an argument.

E.g. urban water use was about 6 million acre feet in 1970 and is about 8 million acre feet now-- +33%, but a small share of the total. Agricultural water use was about 30 million acre feet in 1970 and is about 37 million acre feet now-- +23%.

So, agricultural uses of water have increased a big fraction of urban increases on a percentage basis, and 3.5 times as much on an absolute basis.

> If they've indeed moved towards more water intensive crops

Almonds have grown from 100 million pounds a year in 1970 to 3.1 billion pounds in 2020-- +3000%. This is a change in allocation that no one rational would make with the scarcity of water in California, but artificially cheap agricultural water encourages it.

> as noted elsewhere taking their water rights away will not be cheap as it's a "taking" as used in the Bill of Rights

While occasionally a court has agreed with this argument, for the most part federal judges have rejected this line of argument.
Run of the mill narcissism.

I didn't take incompetent as an insult, but in its straightforward, descriptive sense: the people were not competent at the jobs they were assigned to (and, presumably, weren't given sufficient help in becoming competent)
I mean it's worse from several points of view from the best-case implementation, other than just the grossly-insufficient iteration count.

First of all, every single devices shares a common, constant salt. Although that doesn't simplify a single instance of an attack on the key-derivation function, it permits the construction of rainbow tables to trade off storage against time and attack all devices simultaneously.

Secondly, the key-derivation function has a flawed construction. In PBKDF2, if you need more key bits than the hash function outputs, you repeat the process varying a value that's concatenated to the salt as the initial input. This means the cost to generate a key to test scales with the length of the key. In this implementation, the salt + constant is not actually an input in the hash function at all, but instead XOR'd against the result of the hash.

As a result, you get no increase in work factor at all.

There are other problems in the implementation of the actual cipher (AES-CTR is malleable, not authenticated; keys longer than 128 bits are only actually using half of the additional key bits - "AES-1024" only uses 576 bits of the generated key) but the KDF is the real problem.
Sounds like you want to DM rather than play. Build that world! Get some friends together who might have an interest.

Smaller and simpler was the comment.

The current option is to use industrial farming technology until the raw inputs run out or become cost-prohibitive. Or until tillage soil for field crops becomes nutrient-depleted and barren.

Also, the comment was about using intellectual capital to work on the Markets problem of agriculture, not the act of farming itself
>I can’t imagine there’s a lot of well-trained RNs looking to be hired

I think this is an assumption we have to accept. The implication is that there are not enough nurses. Which means we need to protect the ones we have, and incentivize people to join. And we need to be creative / strategic / tactical about it because it is not a problem we can just throw money at (and as you mentioned, the money doesnt exist anyway).

Step 1: protecting the nurses we still have.

a) Increase denial of care. Nursing seems to be in need of triage. Or rather, "the system" needs to bear responsibility for triage instead of putting the weight on nurses and simply forgiving them for reasonable mistakes as a result of being overloaded

b) Reduced workload for nurses. Formalize the maximum acceptable workload for a nurse. Maybe provide compromised solutions that patients can agree to for any work beyond the maximum (less documentation, less liability, etc - an acceptance akin to treating a soldier on the battlefield. ie "do whatever you can, i'd rather something than nothing")

c) Increase usage of care workers (cheaper workers that RN's can delegate some responsibilities to)

d) Make a public awareness of how loaded a healthcare locations workforce is (so patients can self-manage in the moment; ie. my urgent care is very busy right now, let me go a couple towns over)

Step 2: Incentivize new nurses

a) Measure how many RN's exist that are not working as nurses. Do a case study to see what would bring them back

b) promote the profession to the youth like we did for STEM in the 2000's

c) reduce training needs. break apart the responsibilities of an RN and group them by categories that non-RN's / care workers can become certified in. allow RN's to delegate more work to "nursing category specialists" like IV management, medical history relevance, cleaning up shit, covid testing, etc. (whatever categories make sense)

Step 1 will support step 2, as it will be easier to recruit new nurses if nurses are better protected.

the important thing to remember is that we cannot control the demand on the healthcare system. We need to protect that system from collapsing if demand becomes too high. We must also provide a means for providing some treatment instead of no treatment in situations where full treatment is not possible due to excessive demand.

Personally, I think we coddle patients way too much. I understand wanting to protect people from their own stupidity, but we really need to stop trying to make the healthcare system a pleasant customer service experience. Let them be busy level-4 service technicians who do not have time for our bullshit.

Hire a much cheaper dedicated friendly person to provide friendly interaction. have them relay anything medically relevant if it pops up. Let them be the first person to show up to the room and decide if a nurse is really necessary, etc.

Basically, i think we need to evolve / progress RN's to be more like Doctors and prop up a less qualified class of healthcare worker underneath the RN's
> (insanely oversized “trucks”) are hardly ever necessary.

As someone with a truck constantly having to lend it for friends to use, I disagree.

Not sure exactly what you meant by insanely oversized, but a lift kit and tires aren't abnormal, they have use for off-roading / mudding which is fairly popular.

It's both a style preference and lifestyle preference. Good luck using a car if you have a lot of outdoor hobbies or work.

Kind of strange to tell a whole population what is or isn't necessary in their life, especially without knowing their reasonings.

In case anyone else was confused wtf aes-1024 was. The tl;dr is they were chaining aes-128 multiple times.

The bruteforcing is about bruteforcing pbkdf2 w/ only 1000 iterations being used with user passwords, and doesn't have anything to do with aes

Wormhole and Pyth and two projects they contribute quite a lot to all in the open.
There is insufficient information here to make any judgement.

It’s clear that the journalists involved want us to make a set of suppositions that support their narrative about Timnit, but the reporting doesn’t support that conclusion — or really, any conclusion at all.

It’s vapor — outrage bait.
If your topic area aligns with your government funders interests but your conclusions do not, it usually means you were working on a scientific dead end anyway
He's on a bender.
There is no such thing as AES-1024 specified by NIST. AES is a NIST standard, it has three (and only three) variants: AES-128, AES-192, and AES-256. If you see something other than those three, it's almost certainly proprietary junk.

Note that AES is always used in a "mode of operation" to provide any sort of secure encryption. AE-secure modes are AES-SIV, AES-GCM-SIV, AES-OCB, and AES-GCM in decreasing order of safety/performance (possibly others, but those are the most well reviewed and most used). Those sometimes get noted with the key length, eg AES-256-GCM-SIV, sometimes not.
If it is a open source code that uses blockchain for the sake of blockchain without actually providing anything new, no.
It's all a matter of spectral density. Frequency is meaningless. The lightbulb over your head is currently irradiating you at a rate something like 100 times more energy than your cell phone. Yes microwaves are dangerous at high power. But the inverse square law means that anyone not literally holding their head up against a 5G tower transmitter is not going to be affected in any way.

For example, sargassum seaweed, which floats freely in the ocean, is rich in both phosphorus and ammonium.

There are already efforts in the Caribbean to turn sargassum into compost, because there's so much of it washing ashore that it's become a nuisance.

Medieval Irish farmers relied on seaweed fertilizer to turn much of the island into rich farmland.

Influence exists everywhere because without influence the studies wouldn't exist in the first place.
I bought one about 2 years ago for my wife with a dvd drive, it was a feature she wanted. It's a brand new HP/Dell touchscreen laptop. It probably depends on the intended use of that laptop. Hers is focused on media use so it includes the cd/dvd drive as a way to watch movies. My 6+ year old gaming laptop does not include one.
How would that be different than what happens with email? Getting email through to major providers is a challenge.
I'm well aware China have their own nukes, and their policy around them.

Would they invade Taiwan, and use a nuclear threat to cover it? Almost certainly not. Yet.

But Russia would, and have, in the case of Ukraine, and it has worked, in terms of preventing direct military intervention, whether it's 'credible' or not.
Doesn't that mean we have extra corn that can be used for human/animal consumption if shit hits the fan? Right now we're growing a bunch of crops that don't feed anyone, but it would not be hard at all to have that be the case. Much easier than the whole process of starting from scratch to get new farmland ready for growing corn.
It’s important to realize that Catholicism as practiced by a given culture is influenced by prevailing beliefs.

The puritan(ical) genesis of the United States has resulted in a mostly Protestant practice of Catholicism in the U.S. (polls of US Catholics show that over half diverge with Catholic teachings).

Catholicism in my experience is very pro-sex, and many teachings are dedicated to it: https://www.vatican.va/content/paul-vi/en/encyclicals/docume...
You're right. It is four only vaguely related topics that don't come together into a real thesis besides 'online identity feels a little noisy and precarious'. The fact that I couldn't come up with a better title than 'Online Identity' maybe should have been a clue that what I was writing was a little unfocused.

Thanks for reading though!
