> Regarding sucking all of the atmosphere through a machine, it is unclear why that is either impossible or necessary for this to be useful.

The only atmosphere being cleaned is that which passes through the machine. It's like a hepa filter for your house. Place the filter in a clean room, and it'll still work, but it'll take an exceedingly long period of time to circulate all the air in your home. The real-world atmosphere isn't stagnant like that in your home either... with currents and what-not, meaning this machine needs to be all over the globe to make meaningful impact.

> I challenge you to actually do the napkin math here, rather than continue to state your claim that it achieves "nearly no results" without anything quantifying what that means.

Others in this thread have already done so. But here it goes again:

Total estimated global CO2 emissions (according to the article) are 36,000,000,000 tons per year. This machine is advertised to extract 36,000 tons per year (which likely means less since this is clearly a puff piece, but we'll use this number anyway).

This is 1/1,000,000th of global CO2 emissions - meaning we'd need 1,000,000 more identical machines to achieve CO2 neutrality - which assumes zero net increase in emissions over whatever period of time it takes to manufacture and install all of these machines (which isn't reality).

We don't know the emission cost of producing these machines - but it certainly isn't zero. We also don't know the emission cost of the energy being produced to power these things (which even with geo-thermal, is not zero either).

We also don't know how large the footprint of these machines are - but given the rendering they do look to be huge.

Lastly, we still don't know if it's a good idea to just deposit possibly billions of tons of carbon into the earth every year anyway, making this contraption more of a fantasy than something productive.
So a man who had never fought in a battle and owned slaves thought other people's lives were cheap. Jefferson made significant contributions to both America and the world, but that doesn't mean he never got it wrong.
first time I've heard of nim! anyone using nim in prod care to share their experience?
I feel like it is the opposite. I just bought Levi's jeans. There is so much sustainable/green washing on the labels, it is insane.

I've heard from friends who believe that we should depopulate the planet by 100x. Anti-human arguments all over the media.
Yes exactly. Our company works remotely so often times I want to share something that I have read with my friends and talk about it later.

Do you see yourself using sudopad then?

Anything which would make it even better?
How the Pope shall choose which one of the insultee's 524,288 candidate ancestors, that's not clear.

You make a lot of assumptions about some people's family trees. What if the 17th grandmother is also your 16th grandmother on the other side?

Eg, small village, grandmother has 6 daughters, they have 6 daughters, out of the 36 daughters 20 could be lineage grandmothers.

In fact, the further back you go, the greater chance of overlap.

(Note: growing up in a small town has no bearing on me thinking of this! None!)
> the terminal provides a very fast feedback loop where I can iteratively examine the output of a command and refine the filters I apply

An IDE would be used to develop those commands, more than compose them.

> text to be the only format for exchanging information

For this to work, with non-text data, you end up using the file system as a buffer, then passing filepaths between commands. For many contexts, this isn't performant enough.
The point stands: comparing nation-level statistics. Of course, one is free to choose an arbitrary level of granularity.
The link above to the definition of shitgibbon specifically says that the second word should be a trochee (first syllable stressed, second unstressed). I do think "tuba" works better than "trombone".

But I also think that consonant clusters probably help. "banjo"? I think homophones probably dilute the effect so "organ", "cymbal" are out.
Other countries also have groups who have historically been discriminated against and the numbers show they do a much better job at solving these crimes than the US
I think Nim does DSLs particularly well and is the performant option for the Python class of scripty general purpose languages. I personally prefer more state controlled languages (Clojure, Rust) but I've considered pushing for Nim on shared/work projects. The main reason I haven't is network effects. The language niceties compared to other scripty general purpose languages aren't going to make up for the time spent writing all the libraries from scratch and I can't point to being able to control state as a motivation.

Also I feel like this chart is inspiring me to experiment the next time I'm in the kinds of discussion where these compound words get used.

(And also, remember that "trump" is UK for "fart".)

No. It doesn't solve the problem at all.

Billions of tons of carbon will need to be extracted from the atmosphere. But removing it will do no good as long as even more is released. 100kt/y is like breathing on somebody who is thirsty. Yes, there is moisture in your breath. No, it didn't help.

Creating a carbon tax such that emitting carbon costs as much as they spend extracting it, and then handing that over to extractors, could enable scaling up to the point where it could do some good.
I've been dying to replace my Echos with an open source smart speaker but half of them use AWS or Azure for test to speech and speech synthesis so really all you are in control of is the software that runs on the device itself. So this is a coo step in the right direction.
Sigh.

There are things like PMICs that gets little to no benefits by moving to 28nm. I doubt that will happen. But there are also plenty of designs that are stuck using older mature node, that gets some benefits but has no financial incentive in doing so. Or will require some specialty nodes that is not on offer, which TSMC are currently working on. ( Compared to what comments here suggest they dont give a toss about it. )

So the whole thing is basically about balancing Fab capacity. And there is no better time to do it. You are either stuck waiting for capacity in a node or you move to 2xnm node where new GigaFab are being built and has much better capacity planning. Do you want your $thousands to even $million product to be on hold because of a ( what used to be ) $2 chip cant be Fabbed?
Got it! Still I object to the "just" - this illusion makes it cooler :)

Interesting, this is probably why I never heard of straddles in a futures context

They are wildly popular in the options (including futures options) market, but what is described here would be called a calender spread or an unbalanced strangle of some sort. No tax benefits from closing long dated contracts early aside from losses offsetting the gains
> Git is really a contents addressable archive disguised as a version tracking system.

This is a great take. I think I got lucky that I went from "copying whole directories to save my work before a refractor" directly to git without leaning svn or anything else first.

Treating it as a snapshot management/copy-on-write content addressable storage + diffing utilities is a perfect way of thinking about it. I always wished LVM snapshots had git's CLI.
You can read a print book without wasting electricity every time you open it and the toxic materials used to produce a e-reader.

Reading print is still a much more enjoyable experience (except in the tub -- a waterproof Kindle is still great and lightweight for that!), especially with the slow speed of e-ink screens.

I can't defend ebooks compared to the reading, sharing, and the later selling at a used book store my cast-off print books.

I've even gotten O'Reilly books from a decade ago at used book stores that are great to read and look great on my shelf, and I love finding some old novel by some forgotten author instead of whatever the latest Amazon bestseller is.

And I don't have to worry about the Orwellian deletion of my books from my e-reader: https://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/18/technology/companies/18am...
That is definitely a different thing though - it's well known China was playing games to artificially manipulate their GDP and currency. The coal plants are actually being used because they have demand for the produced power.
As of right now that's roughly the amount of excess in the atmosphere. So if we remove that (and a bunch of other GHGs) and stop emitting we'd roughly be done.

It's not as simple as I state above, but that gives you an idea of the size of the problem.
Because that would be a stupid, factory floor mentality?
I think India does it better— “Go suck/fuck your mom’s/sister’s dick” is about as good as it gets.

OpenOnload supports user-space acceleration of pipes. For our custom applications, we initiate connections over unaccelerated UNIX sockets and then "upgrade" them to accelerated pipes. It's like setting up pairs of shared-memory queues, but all operated via POSIX calls including the ability to watch them with epoll.

This a real old example of this technique using boost::asio [1]. We adapted that from the one in our own reactor library to Onload-pipe-accelerate some OSS that used ASIO.

> Just the time it takes to correctly construct an ethernet frame is not negligible.

For that reason, Onload/TCPDirect (and other vendors too) have APIs that allow you to pre-allocate and prepare packets (headers and payload), then you can do some final tweaks -- like choosing a ticker and price in an order packet -- and then send it out with minimal latency.

Absolutely! I think being able to host it locally on our own server resources and domain would be nice for not having the uptime in the hands of a third-party. Not that I don't trust that it'll be there, but as a way of guaranteeing availability and long-term permanence of data, is quite important.

Offline browser caching would be nice, even if that needs to happen via a browser extension, which might make sharing even easier, especially if you could pick a pad to add it to.
I've done similar, except I still have a phone with sim card (and a number I don't even know) for the odd chance I need to make a call when out and about and for things like mapping walking/driving routes, etc. I'll probably get rid of the sim, like you, in the coming months.

I used the recent spat of telemarketers bombarding myself, friends and family all day to finally make the move. It's been really amazing because of all the benefits you listed. Now I communicate when I'm ready, keeping my phone on DND 24/7, not at the behest of other's whims.

I ported the number most people have to Voip.ms. All calls now go directly to voicemail, where the message says that due to telemarketers, I no longer answer, so leave a VM or message me on a messenger app if we know each other.

If I need to make or return calls for business or services, I either use VOIP.ms SIP settings on GS Wave for my old number when I'm on wifi or use the number my sim has attached to it, which I don't know or give out.

All calls to or from family or friends are either done through Telegram, Signal or Facetime. 99% of the time though, I communicate through text on those apps. 1% of the time someomeone will send an sms, which I see in my email app and reply at my leisure.

There's only been 2 issues so far:

- One of my friends is oldschool and prefers to call my number eventhough I've trained him to use Telegram. However, I don't get back to his calls quickly since I only check email twice a day, where his transcribed voicemails now go. Like training a puppy, I reinforce him messaging me on Telegram with quicker answers, so as of a few a weeks ago, he's started to solely message or voice/video call me through Telegram.

- My partner was at the grocery store and was annoyed they couldn't call and have me pick up instantly for a quick question. They brought up the, "What would happen in an emergency?" I told them that since there's a .01% that a call to me in the moment would make a lick of difference, it's not worth keeping the floodgates open for that one, minute edgecase. They actually agreed after thinking it over a few minutes.
I think sometimes we get used to doing things a certain way and its difficult to change bad habits.

Fossil fuels were never a good idea environmentally and even socially as it concentrated power massively... we just didnt know. You know how romans used to put lead in their drinks because they had become accustomed to the taste? I think our situation is similar.

I think this is due for a much longer discussion but it seems really silly to think we simply ought to repair externalities when theres just so many of them.

Poor countries should spend more in education for sure but, realistically, under our current economic and social systems: is it even desirable? I think the answer is no. Why would you want people who are mining cobalt, young men in many cases (an euphemism for kids) to be educated? Who would want do such an onerous task? If you give these people knowledge then how will that affect the price of these materials?

I mean, as I said in another comment, the inertia of this machine is too much. But, yeah, ideally we could just get rid of externalities and I think in many ways we try to hide them... but it seems to me (and i live in a mining country) the externalities really are much more difficult to deal with than it might seem at first glance.
Yes, as djokkataja points out, and as I pretty clearly alluded to in my post - it's not an assumption. These structures exist and are successful. They are successfully competing in the global markets against more traditional hierarchical corporations.

Mondragon is the canonical example of this working at scale, but there are many others. A more familiar name, if you're in the United States, is Equal Exchange - you may have come across their coffee and chocolate at Whole Foods. There are many, many, many smaller ones (housing cooperatives, small cooperative cafes, collectives, and so on).

They are more common than most people realize, but still rare enough that the vast majority of people probably won't have had experience with successful ones.

If the list just matches the default font of the OS, is there a difference between using such a stack vs. not specifying a font? Wouldn't the browser naturally use the OS's default if font-family is unset?

Flat sun

It will help to keep this kind of news in perspective if you remember that mask mandate studies are very blunt instruments. You identify (preferably large) communities experiencing an outbreak, some with and some without mask mandates, then compare contagion rates. We have over a century of this kind research and the results are very consistent that mask mandates make no overall difference. However, more focused research appears to support that masking does have some positive effect in situations of close contact and limited ventilation. This topic has been done to death over the past couple years, and you can find references in previous HN threads.

What plant life? We're talking about the pelagic ocean, which was more fertile before we broke the back of the ecosystem,* but even then didn't have the wild growth of coastal waters.

we did build a massive, efficient train system: for freight trains. We also have a Massive system for moving people: interstate highways. Those decisions were made years and years ago. Introducing a third system is hard to justify outside of highly obvious congested corridors like the Northeast
Existing rail is owned by the various freight transit companies. Those companies have absolutely zero desire to improve the infrastructure as high speed rail requires modifications that does not benefit freight rail. Then there’s the problem of land ownership, good luck getting the necessary route at a decent price (and governments won’t eminent domain property for rail anymore because of Eisenhower’s highway system). The last reason is why Acela only averages about 8mph faster than a regular train. In the NE corridor, the existing route is so windy that the Acela cannot really hit its max speeds. There is a short area where the Acela travels above 90mph, which I believe is between Delaware and DC. Once you get to NJ you are sharing tracks with various commuter lines which further adds congestion.
Places like Texas and California it makes sense but the Northeast is a quagmire of epic proportions

Going from having slavery as a global institution, entrenched since the beginning of man, to the abolishment of slavery, is not a trivial problem.
I feel like this captures only the novice redditor troll. Those who advance to the next level don't merely use "shitlord" or "assclown" but instead combine the two for increased effect. Call is a second order compound pejorative, e.g.:

That's the kind of comment I'd expect of some shitlord assclown who doesn't know where their opinion stops and reality begins. Get out of your mom's basement and maybe you'll upgrade your personality to piss stain

I don't speak from experience on levelling this sort of insult though so I may not have got it quite right. I welcome both constructive & unconstructive criticism of my technique.

Firstly, so sorry to hear it. I am bald but probably on the attractive end of things, so have it comparitively easy. I feel for your tough position.

Some things facts that may help assuage your discomfort:

1. Male weaves are becoming all the rage. Could be worth a shot.

2. I'm sorry you don't have a beautiful bald head, but the good news is- you're a guy! We aren't expected nor do we need to be beautiful to be successful in life and love. Just go out to dinner at a nice restaurant and you'll likely come across one or more ugly oafish looking men with a vastly more attractive or even extremely hot companion by his side. Character + ability to provide a good life > looks.

3. Self-assurance and self-confidence are sourced from within. Not from hair fibers.
You should edit your comment, it comes across as being in poor taste. There's this idea that people of one race have a very hard time seeing differences in other races:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-race_effect

Just because you can't tell the difference between a variety of women of one race doesn't mean they have no features.

The good news is that this effect is easily reversible (even being aware of it helps tremendously).
Reducing emissions simply delays the endpoint (death). As a friend of mine quips, "the Paris agreement is a suicide pact".

Even if emissions went magically to zero today we have the accumulated emissions CO2 since 1775 lingering around and trapping all the heat we want to radiate away. We have to get rid of that as well

FWIW Comparing the United States to Micronesia is also a bad idea. Or to say, Life in moscow is sure different than in Kamchatka
Of course the power dynamics never completely go away. There are a myriad of kinds of power dynamics - gender, race, and class up bringing all bring their own forms of power dynamics, to say nothing of just basic interpersonal interaction styles. The point of these structures isn't that the eliminate power dynamics entirely, but that they do not codify additional power dynamics into the structure of the organization. The organization's structure is intentionally formed to level the power dynamics as much as possible to allow the most input from the most people. It's just democracy, applied to business organizations. And there's quite a bit of sociological evidence - *empirical* evidence building that it is just as effective, and possibly more effective than the hierarchy.
