Of course the statement is a bit inaccurate, it should probably say "burning 1 ton of biomass generates roughly 1.65 tons of CO₂"

Oxygen is a good bit heavier than carbon, to the point that about 80% of the mass of CO₂ is oxygen. Since burning fuel is generally about combining carbon and hydrogen in the fuel with atmospheric O₂, producing CO₂ and H₂O respectively, you can get numbers like these even before accounting for high-impact gases like methane.

Edit: and of course photosynthesis is essentially the same process in reverse, taking in CO₂ and energy, adding water for the hydrogen and removing some oxygen (that gets vented to the atmosphere) to get energy-rich biomass.

That's not entirely as accurate as phrased.

More accurately, researchers have discovered side-channel attacks that make an old attack effective again.

The actual "unmasking" technique here is actually not new at all. What is new is the ML-based side-channel that leaks whether images or other protected resources are successfully loaded.
Much of Texas is in severe drought. Southern Ontario, where the bulk of the hydro is produced, is also in moderate drought. Quebec is only expiring a small area of drought way up in the north where there is no human activity. Not exactly comparable.
How Caddy 2 works, a deep dive into the source
The problem for me, as a long time NYC resident, is that there's no other place in America I want to live even with work from home as a possibility.

I like mass transit. I like not owning a car. I like that the city is generally safer than the rest of America. I like that it's the center for tech on the east coast, the arts for the entire country, and finance for most of the world. I like that we generally get along in the city, across many cultures and backgrounds. I like it has some of the best food in the world.

I think a lot of people are like me. No, we don't want to live in Boston, Chicago, or Washington DC (similar cities with mass transit). Unfortunately demand will continue to outpace supply greatly.

The only alternative I have is moving further out in Brooklyn or Queens. Unfortunately the subway has decent coverage, but moves at a snail's pace, and I'm looking at 50+ minutes for 6 miles into the city.
> The average price of a rental apartment in Manhattan surged above $5,000 in June for the first time, hitting $5,058,

Key word: average. Always a dangerous - and clickbait friendly - metric.

Keep in mind...

This does not mean the top went up. Let's not be naive, the further you move up the financial / wealth food chain the less price sensitive you are. An increase on the upper end has few consequences.

On the other hand, you can move the bottom up and the average will also increase as increase. This is typically not the first thing that comes to mind but it's a reasonable idea. Unlike the high-end, the low end of the market is very price sensitive. People "living paycheck to paycheck" are far less likely to brush off increases. What happens when they can't make rent? That is The Question.

As things get uglier, those with not much will have nothing to lose. If we don't see voters react this November, they'll be primed for future Novembers. They also might decide that voting isn't going to make a difference. The number of people in this situation is significant. The math is simple.

The rest will be history.
Read up on rent control in the 70’s and landlord’s burning down their own buildings to collect insurance.

Artificially forcing prices low just reduces supply.

But no doubt NYC will head down that path.

Seems like all major cities are repeating the policies of the 60’s-80’s that causes populations to drop.

> Indeed (this is a work in progress, and may indeed not be possible), however the industry already uses huge amounts of H (therefore short-term storage for intermittency compensation is possible), and more and more vehicles do so (therefore a quite large distribution network for intermittent consumers is possible).

Incorrect. We have plenty of experience working with hydrogen produced by steam reformation. But that emits CO2, and thus cannot be used for energy storage. The vast amounts of hydrogen produced for ammonia production does not translate into usable infrastructure for hydrogen electric storage.

Energy storage is a problem that has resisted an effective solution for a long time. There's no guarantee we'll find a good storage system 20 years from now or 200 years from now.

> France launched its nuclearization in the 1970's, while very rich ("30 Glorieuses)", industrial, and it was a strategic case (continuation of the "atomic bomb" program and therefore benefiting from military credits + oil crisis), and the need (electricity consumed) was 3 times lower than it is now, using reactors existing since the 1950's. It then took 25 years to build the nuclear fleet.

So investing in nuclear yielded great reductions in CO2 emissions, and brought fossil fuel use to near zero.

> Germany isn't as (relatively) rich and industrial as it was in the 1970's (after many crisis since the 1990's), there is a quite strong "the climate crisis isn't really a strategic top-priority form most governments" (even in Germany) argument, really launched its transition in 2011, and it uses very-quickly evolving technologies.

So Germany invested in renewables and even after more than 30 years of investment it hasn't seen nearly as big a reduction in CO2 emissions.

Again you're making a very strong case for nuclear, renewables not so much.
I feel like you kinda have it backwards though, at least in regard to the parent comment.

The objective standard of "you're in public so it's fair game" doesn't care if you have ultra-high resolution footage, if you're hiding in a bush, if you're doing X or Y so it's very easy to apply. Meanwhile "someone can't be the focus without consent" is a somewhat subjective standard that could easily become hard to apply.
> The inside of the building was a train wreck. You had walls at odd angle, where you couldn't fit a standard bookcase or file cabinet.

Not sure what content people would be searching for on tiktok and IG... any theories?

YouTube has product reviews, educational videos, instructional, recreational content, news, vlogs.

Reddit has human comments and (sadly) replaced message boards. If I want feedback from an actual human Reddit is usually the place I search.

> is a crude heuristic which is that "there is nothing special about base b

In this context. Imagine the stronger statement, for all bases b, sqrt(2) is not normal in base b. This is base-independent, and we know one base for which it is true (the irrational base sqrt(2), where it's 10). I assume this has something do with restricting b. This argument sounds reasonable for integer or rational bases, but not for noncomputable bases (where presumably sqrt(2) becomes non-computable, how does that work?)

Obviously if we restrict to integer/rational bases, I follow that argument.

It's probably more common as the person becomes more familiar with the group -- at least it is for me. That'll make it hard or impossible to identify during interviews.

I've been trying not to speak at all during meetings, instead following up in chat. As a bonus, this means there's a searchable record of the details, and thus is far more valuable than any in person or video meeting could ever be.

> Objectivity holds such value that falsely pretending to be objective causes far more harm than being clear, honest and uncompromising with one's biases.

I agree that there is harm done when a news source fails to be objective, but again, objectivity isn't a binary which invalidates the implication that a media which is not 100% objective is as bad or worse than one which is 0% objective. I would also be less bothered if we had a diversely biased media landscape, such that various biases "cancel each other out", but instead we have (more or less) a monoculture among mainstream media.

Moreover, what the "the media should be biased" people have delivered is not a media which is "honest about its biases", the new activist media still pretends to be as objective as the older ethical media had ever done, but without actually making nearly the effort. This is strictly less honest. I'm firmly of the opinion that activism in our epistemological institutions is what is driving partisanship and extremism which in turn makes our government increasingly dysfunctional.

I’d love to use Nyxt, but it doesn’t work. It doesn’t work because, despite claims to be engine-agnostic, in practice it can only be used with webkitGTK. WebkitGTK displays (CSS and HTML validating) pages with loads of rendering errors. I’ve tried it on pages that look identical and are rendered correctly in Firefox, Chrome (and all Blink browsers), and Safari, but do not render correctly in Nyxt. The incorrect rendering is reproduced exactly with Epiphany, the official Gnome browser that uses the same engine—so I know that the problem is with webkitGTK. If anyone can explain how to unlock the supposed engine-agnosticism of Nyxt so that I can try it with Blink, I would like instructions.
Gold is down much less than Bitcoin year-to-date. Currently Yahoo Finance says the YTD return of GLD is -5.11%, so it has outperformed stocks and bonds. High inflation has increased market expectations of rate increases by the Federal Reserve. Higher interest on money market funds makes gold, which does not pay interest, less attractive. OTOH, inflation ought to boost the price of a real asset such as gold.

Seven buildings. That's not representative of...anything. It's not even worth talking about. And the effects are largely positive for the city, anyway. You've got a few big, empty buildings concentrated on one street where billionaires park their money, pay a bunch of property taxes, and use zero city services. That's an unqualified win.

Yep, but GoDaddy Support refused to help as it was the responsibility of Google Workspace to manage it...

Moreover the domain did not belong to my GoDaddy account (which makes sense, as I created the GW account and acquired the root domain several years before I signed up to GoDaddy). So maybe it was a hidden GoDaddy account, something like a service account for the exclusive use of GW internal tools?
It's obvious that in the absence of state funding there would be non-state funding. It won't be the same and it won't be zero. Why does the committee's judgement take precedent?

Also, some poorer people would pay to fund research in the absence of gov't funding. They actually already do, for disease research.

You can use utilitarian arguments to force people to do things that they otherwise would refuse. Isn't that a kissing cousin to indentured servitude?

Also, do you knot think I understand the riskiness of research? As if I haven't endured a few decades of poverty as a result?

For an interesting explanation of why rents are affordable in Chicago, see this post from Tyler Cowen: https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2018/02/ch...

"I would put it this way: there are many ways to impose a Georgist land tax, fiscal insolvency being one of them. Very wealthy people and institutions know that if they relocate to Chicago, they will be required to ante up for the final bill. And so they stay away. For a city of its size and import, Chicago just doesn’t have that many billionaires, nor do I think a rational billionaire should consider moving there.

In other words, there is a pending wealth tax. Either directly or indirectly, this will place fiscal burdens on Chicago land, the immobile factor. And this keeps down rents in Chicago now."

If you really like mass transit and want to live without a car, America is probably not for you. USA got rid of most streetcar systems a long time ago and rebuilding them from scratch in current NIMBY climate is basically impossible. And subways, which are much more expensive than ground transit, only make economic sense in several metropolises.
