Meanwhile, American scientists as part of Project Plowshare[1] were proposing to use nukes to blast a harbor in Alaska, "in the shape of a polar bear, if desired".[2]

> consumers are often the ones who apply the pressure to address climate (don't wait for the fossil fuel companies to take this on themselves)

Possibly, but equally consumers have not cried out for nuclear power for the last 40 years in most countries, which would've annihilated so much coal use. Consumers can more recently be won over by nice packaging and messages if they can afford a product that has green PR, which is great, but that's really minimal.
Yes, that would be a fair addition.
If I were Apple, I'd sell an open developer phone that allowed users to override the default settings.
So that when the inevitable "Apple has been hacked and is no better than Android" media driven hit pieces come out, Apple can point out that this is happening on the open developer phone, not the safe walled garden that most of us normal, non bleeding edge consumers carry in our pockets..

When you just want to use your phone, you don't have to read a 1000-word piece to figure out it's because some man installed some obvious spyware.

Some DALL·E Demos: https://www.aidemos.info/category/dall%c2%b7e-demos/
UK politicians, especially those on the right, were never big supporters of the European Convention on Human Rights and often express their desire to circumvent it (see the linked Guardian article in another comment), or to remove its applicability from UK law altogether.

Supporters of human rights may find comfort in the fact that the UK is actually bound to the ECHR by various international agreements, including the Good Friday Agreement. This severely limits politicians' ability to scrap its applicability altogether, despite their repeated promises to the contrary. This excellent blog post from June summarizes all this well: https://davidallengreen.com/2022/06/oh-no-not-again-the-stor... .

Most recently the UK government introduced a "Bill of Rights". Despite its name, it changed little with respect to the applicability of the ECHR, but it does make it harder (again) for litigants to rely on the Convention in practice.

(Note that the ECHR, both the court and the convention, are completely separate institutions from the EU.)
Hemp was campaigned against by "big paper" because it might do what? Big paper would switch to hemp if it was better, so why wouldn't they? Like farmers, they grow trees like they grow corn, but they might easily convert to growing hemp instead.

Not going to comment on hole digging because I am a "techie", but going to use your comment as an accretion point for a thought I've had for a while.

In software, until we acknowledge the way in which the coastline paradox[0] pertains to task estimation, we're going to continue spinning our wheels saying things like "people have worked on this area before, the estimation should be easy" and keep getting really inaccurate estimates, and the engineers will continue to be blamed.

The fractal nature of task complexity suggests that _complexity can only go up_ (more or less). This is why estimates always seem to be wrong in the direction of "too short".

Your comment about hole digging is to assert that the fractal dimension[0 again] is 1 for that particular problem. Great! Estimation is easy in those cases.

My proposal: identify the particular fractal dimension of your particular problem domain (by observing past estimations compared with their reality) and use it as a multiplicative factor in estimates.

Unfortunately, most managers call this process "sandbagging" and my proposal is considered too "mathematically complex". I believe that until this is accepted and resolved, we will continue to have unrealistic estimates.

Excuse my ignorance, but what's the reason for wanting the case made in the US? I could understand for an electronic part, but the case would seem to not present any security issues being made by an untrusted party?
It absolutely is. Often, the determining factor as to whether one rides public transportation or not given its availability is whether driving is an option or not. Driving is never an option when one doesn't have a car. Cars cost money, and money (in the US) is pretty directly linked to both race and class.
> Weiss said the recent explosion in the number of people identifying as transgender suggests that trend is “social and not biological,” so “retroactively de-sexing obscures this obvious fact.”

That's such an incredibly weak argument. The reason the number of left-handed people exploded in the 50s and 60s was indeed "social", in that a reduction in discrimination leading to more people publicly admitting to their natural state. - And "desexing" obviously doesn't seem to be the goal either, as the biological sex seems to be usually identifiable. Gender identity and its social context is indeed something that shifts across time and culture, so just applying our modern standards to hunter gatherers 8000 years ago is simply bad science.
> which is unfortunate

it is simply a.completely non sensical post.

That's why the downvotes.

Pure data vs Max/MSP is a similar situation. The former is totally free but it simply sounds worse than the latter even with oscillators alone somehow.

It's also just not clear what to do to achieve such a thing generally

> This requires a very different kind of rhetoric than degrowth, anticapitalism, or doomerism. It is not the language of sacrifice — it’s the language of abundance.

Sounds great; but you'll have to convince the "de-growth" and "anti-capitialist" factions to stop being so loud first. Many of them seem like "climate change" is not actually their first priority, more an excuse for making the extreme social changes that are their real focus.

As soon as you disagree with some of them you become their enemy, and indistinguishable from "oil company funded rapists of mother earth."

> To hear Russia tell it, Ukraine has bombed a lot of children in the last 8 years and was committing genocide in East Ukraine.

Russia likes to tell a lot of lies and half truths to muddy the waters of everything I wouldn't trust what they they also generally don't provide any solid evidence of any of there claims either, just take these examples.

"Russian State Media Claims to Discover Militarized Ukrainian Witches".

"U.S. Ramps Up Ukraine Warnings as Russia Denies Invasion Plans"

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-02-17/russia-te...

Russian state media just cannot be trusted to tell the truth, I wouldn't believe a single word they say.

> Note: I personally have no ability to determine the truth of the Russian side beyond reading the wikipedia page and noting it plausible.

This would be a mistake, the "firehose of falsehood" is a well known Russian tactic, they lie constantly just to muddy the water. All you need to do is look at MH70 (the civilian airliner that Russian troops pretending to be separatists shot down) to see it in action, before it was publicly revealed to be a airliner they where posing with pictures of the wreckage and bragging about downing a Ukrainian military plane then when it was revealed what happened a whole bunch of Russian pushed conspiracy theories started popping up regarding it.

> I wonder if you have some extra information on things like how many civilian causalties occurred in the Donbas before 2022.

Because of the way that Russia lies and muddies the water, the real numbers will never be known just look at how little casualties they are claiming on their side for the current war.

> or what the real support for Crimea joining Russia was?

Again because of the tactics the Russians use this will never be actually known. But maybe once Ukraine retakes Crimea we may know more.

Yes. But you'll have to learn a bit or two to make use of the more advanced stuff. It is indeed a great learning tool, as it offers almost everything you need to delve in.

There's good lectures out there, explaining the things you might not yet know and most of it is fun stuff to learn. Very much worth your time & effort. Hope you're fine with some advanced math concepts, though!
There's no such thing as relative comparison of "radioactivity". You cannot describe a radionuclide contamination by a single number. For starters, radioactive emissions come in three forms (alpha, beta, gamma), all with different properties. Different nuclides accumulate differently in living tissues too.

There can be almost no elevated gamma background, but nevertheless harmful to live there (e.g. Chernobyl).
You set a range when looking for someone, but you’ll hit people that request more and can anchor their numbers onto something tangible (e.g. their previous pay). You’ll be paying that + alpha if you want them.

You can also set a range (let’s say “top payer”), and find no one that matches your criteria in that range. You’ll either choose to settle for lower requirements, or increase the pay to get people who match your requirements.

The above all sound logic, but in the end it’s a made up number for subjective requirements, so you might completely be paying any arbitrary number to satisfy your criteria.

A significant drop will share price may even trigger the other shareholders to vote on changing the management in charge of defying the ESG mandate.

It does, but to a different probability of failure. A 25-year bridge extended to 35 years will have a higher probability of failing during that 10 year extension than a 50 year bridge extending life to 60 years.

The most common survivability analysis is a Weibull model which typically has a longer right tail to the failure distribution.
>It’s important for the ecosystem to have a strong competitor who isn’t dependent on google

Why ? Seriously - this competition argument gets brought up and I see 0 benefit. There is almost no innovation in the low level aspects and the foundations are opensource with several tech giants contributing.

The only thing "competition" adds at this point is fragmentation, compatibility issues and slower feature adoption.

This idea that competition beats cooperation is silly - innovation in browser rendering and JS engines is mostly done - the only real innovative effort was Servo and that died - modern variants are there just for political/commercial reasons.

If every browser out there converted to Blink/V8 and development resources were focused the web would be better.
It's all really interesting. The fact that this is only the top of the iceberg astounds me. Using the eye as if it were a separate imaging sensor is not what this is about. My heart aches for a method to grasp how other people and animals see and perceive the world. Every animal's visual input is processed in a unique way, maybe even more so than the eyes themselves.

As others have said, the USSR expanded significantly over that period, so you're counting people in '60 that weren't a part of the USSR in '39.

In Germany the agent’s commission — IIRC about 7% — is paid by the buyer, and is in addition to the cost of the property.

In Hungary the amount varies a lot, but it’s paid by the seller so not the buyer’s problem. Because of this, you always try to sell without an agent, and use an agent only if you can’t find a buyer by yourself.

Dunno about other countries.

"Criminologists have offered several explanations for the increase, including the rise in gun sales early in the pandemic"

I wonder what the explaination is here. I would think that the increase in sales would be an effect from the perception of increased violence, especially given the sales are background checked. Articles talking about the increase in gun ownership during the pandemic tend to talk about how those people were getting a gun because of the increase in violence. I hear there could be an increase in thefts, but haven't seen the numbers for that. I could see that being a feedback mechanism, but would be secondary to the original cause.
