Odd that they omit fabrication emissions of a 9000 lb vehicle, with tons of lithium, aluminum, steel, plastic and the implied water impact, from the emissions.

Experiences to learn from aren’t created equally though. Getting your steam account stolen is one thing, getting exploited by sexual predators is quite another. Some experiences are good for learning, others may lead to long term consequences or developmental or mental problems.

The point people are making here is that your child is not on an equal playing field with the predator. The predators have an overwhelming advantage.
You can simply use multiple links to send same data. The fastest one wins, so if there's a temporary hickup on one of the links, you still get somewhat bounded latency. When things work fine, you get to reap the latency benefit.

So I think it's plausible for intercontinental links.

You're making a lot of assumptions here, none of which might be true, and which are incredibly individualized.

"I have a mortgage on a house" tells you essentially nothing about a person's finances, how they financed the house, their assets, their monthly expenses or their debt-to-income ratio.

Some people might have put 20% down, avoided PMI, have no other debt and only put down 20% because they wanted to hold onto cash. They had a good credit score, and got a reasonable interest rate.

Others may have utilized any one of a number of loan programs to put down > 5%, which they financed through loans from family, or emptying their 401K, got a not great rate, have PMI, have student loans on top of that, a healthcare debt, etc.

You have zero information beyond "well, they have a house."

How about a middle ground of, can a level 7 event on the International Nuclear Event Scale happen again?

Its still kind of a bad question,because we can't rule out dinosaurs attacking the power plant. Maybe the question should be,is there a less than 1 in a million chance of a level 7 event happening when using a modern nuclear plant design in the next 100 years?
There’s a wide gap between the majority of infosec bloggers and the top echelon of experts. I don’t see a problem with that, personally, and it’s not much different than the distribution of expertise in most other software domains. Surely the more the merrier, since at least some of those new entrants will grow into experts.

Also, there’s a reason the “hello world” malware posts are popular - the techniques they’re describing might have been known for years, but they’re practical and they work. Often their longevity is only due to their unfixable nature in exploiting a design flaw. So they’re useful not only from a practical standpoint but also an academic one of demonstrating a class of attack so pernicious that it can only be eliminated with a ground up redesign.
>in any case, the grid is getting lower emissions over time and could go MUCH lower than current

This is a key point so many people miss.

Perfect World: We reduce our emissions.

Good World: We transition our infrastructure to things that can be decarbonized in the future. That Hummer EV could theoretically run on completely renewable energy (once other changes are made) the Malibu will never.
Iridium apparently had much more expenses for a few years around 2018, possibly mass upgrading their infrastructure, but before that a decade of near constant 20-30% net, recovering again now, unless I'm misreading this data.
They also "pulled out" of solar early. I have idea how anyone can make sense of German policies. They seem to be working solely on the basis of emotion. The outcome is a disastrous policy that created one of the highest energy prices for consumers for no good reason.

The Greens in Germany seem to be hell bent on de-industrializing Germany. They hate nuclear power and they hate all fossil fuels, but want to buy fracking LNG from the USA and fire up brown coal plants that were previously shut down to shove it to Putin. The outcome seems to be mass bankruptcies in what seems to be the social fabric of Germany, while getting a lot less energy for the same price.
In addition to what others have said about testnet transitions already being successful, we already have multiple active PoS networks (Solana, Avalanche, Cosmos, BSC, etc.) that have been successfully securing billions of value for multiple years.

Four or five years ago, it was tenable to say “PoS may just never be successful”, but saying that today ignores literally dozens of real world examples running in production.
While I agree that the military would be unlikely to use this civilian service on warships, it's not because of the price where $5000 would be a rounding error in the operational cost of the ship.

I see this more for commercial operators, like the Ferry between Seattle and Victoria BC - they could sell high speed internet for $10/trip and make a profit if they can sell it to 500 passengers/month.
I feel like cruise ships will use this a lot. They're one of the last things on the planet that don't have cell service or internet that isn't 25$ a minute.
Ukraine's constitution says they will try to join NATO. NATO has explicitly said its door is open to Ukraine. Putin's puppet leader of Ukraine was ousted with US involvement. For the past 8+ years, NATO had been pouring money, weapons, training and intel into Ukraine. Last year, they had held joint military exercises, with NATO troops temporarily stationed inside Ukraine.

Now that the war has started, but only is NATO pouring weapons and Intel into Ukraine, they are actually providing detailed targeting data for much of Ukraine's long-range weaponry. NATO guns are being wielded by NATO-trained soldiers deployed in positions suggested by NATO tacticians based on NATO intelligence gathering. The guns are targeted by NATO computers. Ukrainians are basically only pulling the trigger, and of course taking the bullets.

So saying "there was no NATO in Ukraine" is quite absurd.

On the other hand, Putin has clearly misjudged this invasion, and it has already become a costly mistake from all points of view. Finland and Sweden joining NATO is a major blow, in addition to the economic sanctions, while the initial failure of his all fronts invasion has surely been a major blow to the image of the Russian military.

However, while this is great news for NATO, it doesn't mean that it's also great news for Ukraine, which has already sacrificed much. And personally, I believe this invasion is Russia's last stand: that will either crush Ukraine into dust (assuming Ukraine doesn't acquiesce), or they will crumble themselves. I don't think nuclear weapons are off the table for Russia if it thinks the alternative is pulling out of Ukraine with no guarantees it will abandon cooperation with NATO.
Things might be different because of Elon Musk's announced acquisition attempt of Twitter.

Yes, rates can be much higher. We pay 37c for instance at the moment.

On the other hand: To have higher energy prices provides incentives for less use and must be part of an intermediate strategy to bring down CO2 emissions.

I'm stunned really.

I'm from the Netherlands, known for its comparatively poor pay for engineers as well as high costs of living.

Despite that, from day 1, when my salary was at its lowest and I was still single, I saved 25% of my salary. A lot of years later and no longer single, I've build up multiple years in savings. Even more than that if I add my spouse. And the funny thing is that the need to do this applies less here, as unemployment benefits are relatively generous.

It just shows the dramatic difference in culture. I'm shocked how even the best paid engineers can't even manage to save 30K. 30K...are you kidding me? A single event or large expense (construction at house, car breaks down) would bankrupt you. And if your cost of living is so enormous, what the hell does 30k even do during unemployment?

If I'd earned 200K+, I'd save so hard and retire 20 years early. The US has such a spending culture.
The Mar 31, 2022 datapoint is -0.21%.

They do make a good profit in the years they do, but my point is they also have quite a bit of volatility. I would not touch that business without the 10%+ profit margin opportunities.
I use DDG as my primary search engine, but satisfied wouldn't be how I would describe myself, because even at it's worse, Google is still better than all the competition, and I find myself using !g a lot.

DDG, Yandex, Bing, and other indie search engines just don't seem to have the broad range of Google for a lot of obscure searches. It probably doesn't help that a lot of information nowadays is behind places like Discord servers and other random blockades.

EDIT: And yes, Google UI and functionalities are getting worse and worse, but the their search results are still the best (even if you have to scroll down).

Echoing the other commenter, location filter would be a huge improvement.
> If you're openly associating with pedophiles, you're not somebody someone should entrust the safety of their children to

Retweeting art does not imply any knowledge of the "pedophilia". Also, "pedophile" is a term so general it's sometimes applied to things like finding people aged 17 attractive (which is the majority of heterosexual men). As far as I know the artist in question might just have liked some hentai that had a japanese schoolgirl in at some point. At that point the levels of indirection in your Law of Contagion are absurd even by the standards of believers in majiks!

> The head of content moderation's personal interests are way off-center. This does not paint them as someone with a good sense of what is moderate.

This would be just as accurate if the moderation head had an interest in gay sex.

> All of this is literally intuition

And your intuitions aren't anywhere near as strong as the intuitions of the 70s parents who made sure gay men weren't anywhere near their children. Should we have followed those intuitions too?

Most didn't. That's my point exactly. Even though I introduced them to git, and then later github, AND I was aware of the problem and tried to ensure they wouldn't conflate the two. It still happened.
The greatest breakthrough ever? I'd say the machine tool, a cutting tool made to follow a path by purely mechanistic guidance. There are a lot of things that were enabled once the dependence of the skill and dexterity of a person holding a tool were removed from the equation.
Right, but the alternative is rarely a native app for each platform, it's Electron in most cases.

I imagine you could make something that at least gives you as much opportunity to fit in as electron, with accessibility support, and some new ideas, be it from a development paradigm, inbuilt widget sets, or something else.
Passenger transit emissions are about 10% of CO2 overall, so you're not going to make much of a dent
Roblox is also a predator. They are exploiting children for money, through the user generated content and marketplaces. They take an incredibly large cut from everything sold and then have crazy high thresholds before you can cash out. Roblox might not be sexual predators, but they are predators.

>There are metrics which relate the amount of CO2 emitted to manufacture a panel vs the total amount of electricity it goes on to generate, and they are not 0

Yes, fair enough. Making pretty much _anything_ contributes to CO2 in some way and this argument easily devolves into one where we're saying we should just limit all human activity, and I'd say that that way of thinking is regressive. If you can generate your own electricity this pushes the burden of emissions to the manufacturer of the panels, which is a good thing because panels are tech that improves over time.

> What is currently inefficient about them?

Yeah I misspoke, what I meant to say is we should focus on reducing the emissions that they create while generating electricity. i.e. improving efficiency if you consider CO2/Watt generated to be your units. This is done by switching to renewables + nuclear.

>Who all hold government granted monopolies on their infrastructure. I'm not absurdly hopeful this will automatically turn into a win for the consumer.

This I disagree with, I think a smaller number of government-granted monopolies are much easier to control/regulate than every single US consumer.
Steam valve VR headset all the way. Not touching one thing from Facebook.
Might have worked out in their case, sure, but it is still very much confirmation bias. People who decided not to join hot startups like Google and Facebook because they didn't agree with the list of investors or the board composition aren't exactly going to be posting about it here.

Yet, all the attempts to store nuclear fuel underground in Germany proved so catastrophic that they had to scrap all of them and restart the selection process.
Great to see broadening of the discussion's cultural scope from red light districts and western tourism in Paris to parallel concepts. However, the definition I found online suggested Hindi/Urdu maṭaragashtī can also refer to aimless loitering... a much less romantic and far more prevalent activity in the subcontinent!

One of my favourite Indian flaneur moments was finding a safe-looking mushroom while circumambulating a hill near a Jain site I was visiting in Karnataka. Bored and of generally flaneurial mindset I decided to eat it. About ten minutes later I wandered past a push-cart in to a small village, and came across a fluorescent hot pink goat. I wondered if the mushroom had anything to do with it, and had to double take - but no: they'd missed a spot. The animal had been spraypainted! Only in India...

We can agree on that. But also, a 7000 lb Hummer would as well.
Thanks for pointing this out. I've submitted a PR to resolve this: https://github.com/gpujs/gpu.js/issues/757

That being said, if you're not building from source (you're running an LTS version of node on a supported platform), you don't need to worry about python or many of the build deps.
These are bad examples. "Vaccines are safe and effective" is not scientific because science can deal with comparisons, it cannot deal with absolutes.

You can scientificly say something is safe compared to something else, or define safe in some way (less then 1 in X chance of something happening statistically). But there is no such thing as 100% absolute safety. Even an injection with saline is not safe in the absolute.

E.g. if there is a 1 in a trillion chance of a side effect, you will never see it, because there arent a trillion people on earth.
In the US, the 70 cm ham band is 420 - 450 MHz. The transceiver you referenced is listed for 410 - 441 MHz. It could be used by a licensed ham to transmit data, if he/she determines how to modify or control it to avoid transmitting on the 410 - 420 MHz frequencies. It would also be necessary to send station identification[0] per Section 97.119(a) of the rules, which requires an amateur station to transmit its “assigned call sign on its transmitting channel at the end of each communication, and at least every 10 minutes during a communication.”

It would also be necessary to assure that any harmonics of 433 MHZ were within regulated limits.

EDIT: ETCI has specified 433 - 434 MHz as a LoRa band. In the US, the ARRL band plan[1] specifies those frequencies as auxiliary/repeater links, so they should be usable for LoRa, assuming no local frequency coordination disputes arise. The radio in question should be configured by the ham for that frequency.

EDIT2: In the US, and in general worldwide, hams can only communicate with other hams. So, 433 MHz LoRa would be limited to a mesh exclusively between hams, and with the necessary identification added. Unless you have specific reasons for using higher power, are a ham, and know what you're doing, it would be wise to use standard commercial LoRa radios, and stick to the 902 - 928 MHz radios in the US. (Which is shared with the 33 cm ham band - but the LoRa radios are low power.)

Interesting point! The thing with Apple that annoys me is they believe their own marketing, but if you say "Privacy is a Human Right" and deny it to Chinese citizens, you either don't consider Chinese people human, or you are full of shit. Honestly, not sure where Apple stands given their labor practices in China, the people who assemble the widgets certainly haven't been treated like human beings.
my 2c, I grew up playing video games. I've had a hard time finding content I actually enjoy. And yes I did play more in 2019-2021 for obvious reasons, but the platforms havent kept me entertained...

A lot of games I've tried tend to have a few issues for my use case

1. They're not usually casual friendly - I want to play for about 1 hour a week, and feel like I'm not entirely not progressing or left behind by friends (eg: why couldn't my wow character be locked to another character and I can play along for the ride without the level grind? And I'd even be fine with it if I couldnt play without my friend)

2. Frequently they come with timers that suck eg: games where you build a building and come back in 1 minute to 30 days with exponential scaling of levels. But pay gems to speed it up!

3. They lack familiar mechanisms, but with updated content. I really wish C&C Generals 2 got built. I really liked the first one. I wish they'd make a Grand Turismo that brought back the crappy starter car and race to earn money for upgrades or buy cars. I'd love to play a C&C style MMORTS where its 2 big teams vs 2 big teams and I can harvest Tiberium, pump out troops, send them to the front lines like creeps of ants, and eventually lose to someone who sinks more time... but just feel like I'm part of a team w/o it being a total let down that I'm a casual. Also this same idea for a MOBA, where it's not like "we 100% lose because we have a newb on our team" ...

4. They require an extreme level of skill (ie time commitment) to have a decent experience. I can wander around a battlefield in CoD, but if I encounter a skilled player the battle takes around 3 seconds and I'm dead. I dont mind a 99% death rate, but it'd feel more fun if it took, say 3 minutes of battle so my 10 minutes of wandering to 3 seconds of action ratio was better?

I wonder how much of your comments/predictions will be true after this coming winter.
In the near term yes, humans and AI will have to work together. Eventually the only limiting factor in the AI's progress will be the human component.

For stuff like these drones, where is the benefit of a human component? Picking the drone up off the ground? Being a spotter? Driving the drone to wherever you want it to fly?

Lets take self driving cars for example. The benefit there is we no longer have to drive, but you also lose millions of jobs (taxis, trucking, etc).

Capitalism isn't going to take a romantic approach to AI / human harmony. It will do what it always does, cut costs and turn profits at the absolute expense of everything that's not creating shareholder value. And to that extent, the military industrial complex will do exactly the same thing, just replace shareholder value with bloodshed.
The pressure to be successul must be intense there though
Scheme is a language I love. Chez Scheme is even fast. I don't use it because the support for parallel programming looks like 1990. In contrast, one can add a handful of lines to a Haskell program and keep 16 cores busy on a Mac Studio. Even Ruby now cleanly supports parallel execution. We're fast reaching the point where any language that doesn't support parallelism, or only via cumbersome locks and so forth, is a toy.
