Thanks for sharing.
As an outsider (but frequent visitor with with close connections) I never felt the US deserved the moniker "land of the free" - it very much seems to be a place where any supposed freedom you might have to a live a peaceful and safe existence is so compromised by social attitudes and economic realities as to be effectively meaningless for a huge percentage of the population.
If Trump had actually succeeded in retaining power after the last election I wouldn't have been shocked, and it's not hard to believe things will continue to slide in that direction. I think it's still capable of digging itself out of the current hole, but it's hard to see the US being any sort of beacon of hope and light for the rest of the world anytime soon.
From their FAQ:

> Q: Should the Z-Library collection be added to Library Genesis?

> A: Yes! However, it is tricky. Library Genesis splits out its collection between non-fiction and fiction. They also have relatively high quality standards. If you are interested in organizing all the books to meet their requirements, let us know.
I am not familiar either, but I imagine the answer is similar to the vegan argument against grazing cattle: not all water sources are made equal.
Yeah. Because relapsing happens to almost everyone. And even if your "sober streak" resets to zero you haven't lost your motivation to stay sober, the experience of being sober (and knowing you can cope), and the tools you've learned. You're still in a better position than before, all you need to do is get back on the horse. Fixating on a streak just makes it harder to do that.
What is hard with storing hydrogen? I've heard that they plan to use tanks that currently are used to store natural gas.
> Or maybe I'm wrong and somebody comes up with an easy and cost effective way to store significant amounts of hydrogen. That would be a wonderful way to be wrong.

Liquefaction is the way. We already do it for natural gas (LNG), we just need to build similar infrastructure for LH2.
As a very rough approximation (just to get a proper order of magnitude), to make enough hydrogen fuel through electrolysis to run a car, you need about as much water as you would need gasoline. Compared to daily household needs, it’s insubstantial, and compared to agricultural needs, it’s less than rounding error.
Those are problems too, but they aren't exploited nearly as often as MITMing cleartext has been historically. The solution you mention is already becoming widely-supported, as are newer protocols like QUIC that discourage snooping.

There's no reason to ignore a good solution just because it's not 100% perfect.
I think it's mainly that was is messy and hard to report on in the moment. There's propaganda coming in from all angles, of course, muddying the water further.

FWIW Washington Post reported on Russian success in Lysychansk just this morning.
US farmland occupies 895 million acres (3.6M km^2) [1]. Average solar irradiance on most US farmland is about 200 W/m^2 [2]. By being generous and assuming vertical farming is 100x more efficient than natural photosynthesis, the energy requirements come out to 7.2 terawatts of generating capacity. In contrast, the US currently has 1.1 terawatts of generating capacity. [3] Vertical farming isn't just uneconomical: it's completely absurd.

I had some illness for much of 20 years. Doctors were uncertain about what it was. They eventually called it Lyme disease because they weren't sure what else to call it. But I was stuck taking antibiotics for 20 years. I tried several times to quit the antibiotics, but I always got badly sick when I did. I eventually managed to achieve a complete cure, by fasting with only water for 2 weeks. I describe this whole saga in detail here:

Because its an over-engineered pile of shit. The only thing required was an increase in the address space, but we got IPv6 instead, which everyone sane resists to this day. Defaulting to hex addressing only a sheltered engineer would do.
Personally if I drank once or twice within a 10 year period I'd still count it as 10 years sober. There's a big difference between a one-off 'lapse' and a 'relapse'. And I suspect a large number of '10 year sober' people have had the occasional lapse and just don't want to admit it.

Put it another way, is 10 years with a few lapses worth significantly less than 10 years completely sober? Of course not. It's still a huge achievement. So why punish yourself?
I don't think ever had been suggested as a source of energy, only as a form of storage.
I don't trust the whole "mainstream news" narrative. It implies that there are news sources that somehow aren't driven by some $#^holes' ideological or corporate motives.

It would depend on how they use the funds. I wouldn't be surprised if bandwidth expenses made up a majority of what it cost to run Z-Library and that money has to come from somewhere.
I've always found it funny that oxygen, commonly pictured as the benevolent stuff of life, is actually such so dangerous biologically. It's really a change in perspective when you realize that the reason we can't survive for five minutes without it is that we're running countless tiny power plants that use volatile chemicals and constantly struggle to dispose of the toxic byproducts.
You don't have to beef up your v4 infra as much though. Think 4 powerful v4 routers instead of 5 or something. If the traffic to the big streaming providers doesn't have to run through these routers, you can save a lot. Same goes for the ipv4 address space you have to rent/buy. The more connections are on ipv6, the less public ipv4 addresses you need to have.

So ipv6 support might be saving you costs already in a dual stack setting.
That too, but I was thinking more along the lines of building TSR programmes and diving into the DOS system programming interna.
Most smart watches are actually providing a lot of information that is useless for the consumer. Yes, you can track your heart rate and step count - but then what? What does that mean? Do you need to walk more? Sure, but you could do that without the watch.

There is some gamification aspect to it, but it creates the illusion of "caring about your health" while doing the bare minimum. Let alone the constant distraction with notifications that now buzz your wrist and you get distracted by.
Below ground has trade offs, it's easier to use gravity flow designs but you lose all natural sunlight. Most of the time rain catchment systems on roof top vertical farms or free standing green houses are easier to design. There are already a bunch of vertical farms in commercial operation. The Netherlands in particular is leading the science here but in the US a number of farms exist. Vertical farming uses around 90% less water and solar/wind/hydro power for LED's is extremely doable. You are wholly incorrect about the amount of work required and amount of resources. It does take smart design to work however.
Thank you, I then need to keep PDFs available on my web site. I will do that in the next day or two.

And "they" isn't just your ISP. It's also that free wifi hotspot you connected to, or the hotel service, or your company's network. Even if you trust your ISP (and you probably shouldn't), there are other bad actors to be aware of.
Right. There are enough cases of extreme neuroplasticity following lobotomies, even hemispherectomies, that this case doesn’t seem too surprising. It is still fascinating though, that our brains are so malleable and self-reconfiguring.

I've seen it too, and it's a weird mistake to me because I am certain that at least one of my friends who makes the mistake did not make it in the past.

I wonder if there's a kind of memetic effect happening online, where people who lack confidence in their English spelling ability see somebody make this mistake and somehow think that it's correct, so they switch how they write it.

Perhaps I'm not as disciplined as all the other die-hard Zettelkasten practitioners, but no matter what tool/software I adopted, I almost always end up abandoning them.

Since this article talks about using renewable electricity to produce hydrogen, the H2 storage and distribution has to be more efficient and safer than transmission lines + Li ion batteries. Note Li ion battery technology is likely to keep improving for the next decade as well
Yeah terminal A was quick and easy if everything went perfectly. If security ever got backed up, as happened often with flights to the US, you'd have long lines spilling into the main circular hall. More amusingly, the lack of table space on which to unpack your computer/toiletries/etc resulted in people hurriedly extracting possessions in an awkward crouch and then clutching the unwieldy bundles to their chest while waiting their turn. Quite a spectacle.

Just wondering... do they actually understand that (for instance) coal hasn't been replaced by solar and wind but by solar + wind + natural gas peaking plants and pressure-points related to natural gas are actually under more stress? Or that the regulatory changes in the pipeline business actually make the swings in natural gas shipment more volatile?

So it just makes it very unlikely, right? If I think about the universe as a spreadsheet, there is a large number of formulas, but they are never cyclic, and only look “up” and to the sides, through some lorentz addressing so to say. And dependencies in it are massive, every cell looks at everything up-around it.

We could definitely make a spreadsheet that is circular in parts, e.g. make it find low, middle and high solutions to some cyclic equality group that only resolves to e.g. 1, 2 and 3. But then we have to include all other parameters from up-around and it is ~~ unlikely to solve, makes sense. But I’m curious if that’s correct or provable. The universe seems to have no trouble solving things which we struggle with even at the basic level. Maybe there are coincidences in this spreadsheet that lead to possible dependencies on the future, and then they become a true dependency? We just have no idea how to catch these events.
GitHub Copilot AI Pair Programmer: Asset or Liability?
[PDF]: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2206.15331.pdf

"...In this paper, we study the capabilities of Copilot in two different programming tasks:

(1) generating (and reproducing) correct and
efficient solutions for fundamental algorithmic problems,

and

(2) comparing Copilot's proposed solutions with those of human programmers on a set of programming tasks.

For the former, we assess the performance and functionality of Copilot in solving selected fundamental problems in computer science, like sorting and implementing basic data structures. In the latter, a dataset of programming problems with human-provided solutions is used...

...The results show that Copilot is capable of providing solutions for almost all fundamental algorithmic problems, however, some solutions are buggy and non-reproducible. Moreover, Copilot has some difficulties in combining multiple methods to generate a solution. Comparing Copilot to humans, our results show that the correct ratio of human solutions is greater than Copilot's correct ratio, while the buggy solutions generated by Copilot require less effort to be repaired...While Copilot shows limitations as an assistant for developers especially in advanced programming tasks, as highlighted in this study and previous ones, it can generate preliminary solutions for basic programming tasks...."

Hydrogen leaks much more easily than bigger molecules. It's entirely possible that existing storage systems designed for natural gas would be completely unusable for H2.

You've also got to account for hydrogen embrittlement, where the small size of the hydrogen molecule means that under pressure it works its way into the crystal lattice of the metal of the container itself, and changes its mechanical properties.
I think "women of the peerage" here means daughters of peers not peers themselves.

Only the eldest brother would sit in the House of Lords and only after their father died. It was very common for a son due to inherit a peerage to go in to the commons before they inherited their title. Once a title was inherited one could only sit in the House of Lords until Tony Benn.
Probably they used it to feed counter-intelligence. Hence, all the precautions to substitute the devices without alarming the soviets.

From that thread:

> If we want to count these emissions from moving fertilizers, tractors etc. around as 'food miles' then the logical conclusion would not be 'eat local'.

> Instead, 'eat from countries that manufacture fertilisers & pesticides' so they don't have to export elsewhere.

When I walk to the farmer's market by my house, I always shudder at all the cars that have driven there and parked. The quantity of emissions from driving a personal gasoline vehicle is really staggering compared to any food related emissions.

And it's really shocking that people are so ignorant of the toll their personal vehicles take. I think that if people had to manually lift all the fuel that they pumped into their cars, maybe even for one filling per year, they would get a better feel for just how bad driving is. And the CO2 is far heavier than even the fuel, pre combustion. A 20 gallon refill of a tank is 400 pounds of CO2, a fifth of a ton.

If we even legalized corner stores for US neighborhoods, we could probably start driving down emissions.

“Wage suppression.
Because foreign STEM graduates are concentrated in certain occupations, their impact on wages is stark even if absolute numbers aren’t huge. In 2018, some 53,000 foreign students earned degrees in computer science or related engineering fields, two-thirds of which were master’s degrees, according to calculations by Hal Salzman, a professor at Rutgers University’s John J. Heldrich Center for Workforce Development, and Khudodod Khudododov, a research analyst, using data from the National Center for Education Statistics. That year, the U.S. had between 96,000 and 143,000 openings in IT occupa­tions that typically went to candidates with a bachelor’s degree or higher in computer science or engineering, they found. So, OPT participants accounted for anywhere from one-third to one-half of new hires. If you add H-1B candidates, up to two-thirds of openings went to guest workers, according to Salzman.”
How much are you taking? 5000~10000mcg per day may not be too much, also there are no side effects or overdose risks.

I think you should do a blood test and ensure you're at least over 500 pg/ml.

Closest PoP (Point of Presence)
I have never been able to find any consistency in the data around food sustainability in general. Some meta studies using the same data rank GHG per 100g of protein vastly differently. Milk in particular moves pretty far up or down the list. Somehow cheese always stays at the bad end. Shrimp moves up and down a lot too. Fish and chicken swap around a lot. Pork is usually right above those two. And eggs are always at the bottom of the animal proteins as far as impact. Beans and pulses are always at the bottom. I keep meaning to get some red lentils, I have troubles with all the beans and pulses I've tried, but red lentils supposedly lack whatever it is that messes with some people.

No serious company is using Storyboards. Only toy apps or small companies do, or junior devs. SwiftUI might be ok for them as well.
> Developers, don’t put streak counters in these sorts of apps.

This definitely deserves a deep discussion. Get to the bottom: is it good, bad, is there a better way to implement?

I can speculate that, for many people, just getting a triple-digit streak is a big win.

Even if they drop for a year, or even forever, after losing it.

They wouldn't have accomplished the feat without the streak metric.

I don't have any data. As I said, it's speculative, but perhaps reasonably possible to be the case?
I mean, if the claims hold up and _only_ work for this particular interaction, it will still be workd-changing. Methanol production underpins an embarrassingly large chunk of the modern world.
These things are truthy, though to disappoint you, you and most others are in the dark.

Roughly one sixth of the world hear “the voices” and it is taboo to speak of this.

One one thousandths of these are able to manipulate and travel among the minds of others (through consciousness). One of a thousand among these can completely manipulate thousands at a time (power is non-linear).

A secret society of power cults already have the power of god in mens minds and they like to keep it that way.

Consider how people behave on the internet when they are anonymous and have the power to mess with others.

It is a thousand times worse with thought control powers.
The opportunity cost of 2% credit card rewards isn't a rate, but you can convert it to a rate by dividing by the time period. If you forego $200 in rewards to keep $10k for an extra 3 months, you're paying $67 or 0.67% per month for that money. If you instead forego that same $200 in rewards but get to keep your money for 6 months, you're only paying $33 or 0.33% per month. Converting those monthly rates to annualized rates of ~8% and ~4% respectively is just a matter of convenience, the math still works out the same if you keep everything on a monthly basis instead.

>They can choose to be ignorant. I can pretty much guarantee no woman I know would downvote that comment, it clearly comes from the place of male privilege that got us into this mess.

As an American male, I'm pretty appalled by this too. If men could get pregnant, abortion would have been legal as soon as (probably before) such procedures were safe to do. Which turns my stomach. A lot.

As I (and many folks I know) think, terminating a pregnancy is (or rather should be in the US) a personal, private decision to be made only by the pregnant person.

In fact, as I stated previously here[0], if you don't have a functional female reproductive system, you need to shut the fuck up.

And even if you do have one, if it's not you that's pregnant, you also need to shut the fuck up. It's not your business or concern.

I'm mad as hell about this even though it won't affect me personally. But as you describe, it gives the lie to the idea that this is a society based in liberty.
