I read it. If you disagree with the assertion that "finite resources do not support infinite future growth" then the entire argument falls apart.

Finite resources do not support infinite resource exploitation, that much is obvious. humans, however, have access to vast sums of energy via the sun and internal earth processes, as well as the capacity to reach out to the solar system if the shortage of any other resources were depleted on earth. We could already do this but for the niggling fact that the cost to exploit extra-terrestrial resources is higher than the current value of those resources.

Regardless, raw material extraction and manufacturing is only a portion of overall economic activity, and a fairly small portion at that. The majority of growth over the past 50 years is in non-resource-dependent industries, which theoretically is not tightly bound by finite resource constraints.

In fact, what we are finding now is numerous Western industries determining that their primary operational constraint is not natural resource availability but the lack of accessible human capital. There are too few humans for the available jobs.

Or do whatever you enjoy! I've done the whole list (including roasting beans in a popcorn popper! when living in an area where good beans weren't available), and what I've settled on for myself is a hand burr grinder and a small french press. I have an aeropress (with a separate hand grinder set finer), but I don't like the idea of brewing in plastic. I have a pourover, but I don't enjoy the flavour as much. I have a large french press, but I find it gets a thinner filter bed and ends up grittier (plus I'd rather just make two small press pots and have them fresh). I've tried espresso, but I always end up making an americano anyway so why bother? I've used cotton filtered pourover, but the filter kinda grossed me out. I've used automatic drip pot and they aren't bad sometimes (but most people who use them buy cheap pre-ground, which sets you up for failure). I've used vacuum pot (they're a neat gimmick but not an everyday thing in my opinion). I've tried making turkish coffee, cowboy coffee, electric percolator, manual percolator... always wind up back with the small press pot.

Good catch! Thanks for the heads up, I will get right on it!
That CPU is set up by the kernel at boot time, given the code to run, then some hardware bits are toggled such that the main CPU can't write later, it can only access the separate CPU via a defined API.

The kernel could do the same with an in-kernel process. It wouldn't have quite the same depth of defense against userspace sandbox escapes, but could be done. That's roughly how /dev/random was implemented for many years.

Look at the APIs provided — it's nothing new. It's nothing OSes haven't provided before, it's just further removed from a Chrome/FF/Safari sandbox escape, because overcoming the write-once hardware toggles is harder than getting kernel read/write primitives for a sandbox privilege escalation.
I kinda agree, but at the same time this seems like an exceedingly pessimistic take. Maybe this can be the devil on one shoulder while you have an angel on the other pointing out that papers already go through peer review, that overt fraud is rare, and that the biggest problem we have isn’t bad science, it’s taking scientific results out of context, misreporting them, overgeneralizing the results, and painting lines where none exist. The actual observations in a paper are usually real and legit, the problem is that humans seek to explain those observations as a pattern, and describing that pattern and assuming it even exists, that’s where we fail so often. More often than the paper’s conclusion being wrong, people cite a paper as evidence for something “related” or “similar”, where the paper’s observations don’t actually apply.

This article makes many claims which are demonstrably not true. For example, this claim, used in many articles like this, is simply wrong:

>Borrowing money and the ability to pay it back depends on an economic system with future growth,

The common "argument" for this type of thinking is that if you borrow $100 and have to pay back $110, then in the future there has to be more money. This ignores the time value of (labor/money/invention...) as follows:

Fix money in the world at $200, owned by B (representing the external system to actor A).

A borrows $100 from B, owes $110 in a year. Now A,B = 100, 100

A then works (say even for B), earning $50 over the year, and used $40 to live on (spent wherever, say to B if you like). Now A has 100+50-40 = $110, B has 100-50+40 = $90.

Now A pays off B, returning the 110, and the state is back to start A,B = 0,200.

There is no need for more money to pay off interest, because time and labor and other things have value.

This articles uses this misunderstanding as proof for needing infinite growth then extrapolates to the system has to fail.

It's simply not true. Over the years I've had to explain this to many, many friends under the same thinking, and most of them get it and stop the "we need infinite growth!" mindset (at least for this type of argument).
> photograph anything visible from public land

From public land I can see people sunbathing in their gardens.

For a photographer, there may exist an excuse such as "yes but the landscape in the background"...

For data such as the routes of a car¹, there is no excuse.

(¹Which does not overlap with "what enters or leaves a territory" - monitored in many administrations.)
It's not about the privacy policy itself, it's about the company having one that's suitable. I understand where you're coming from, but there are additional red flags to be drawn from beyond that.
If you mean "legit" as opposed to using false data, well, you can't. That is one of the issues that replication solves, so you can look for replication, but it's missing for most papers, whatever their quality.

If you mean "legit" as in a high quality work that you can trust the conclusions, the things that I see people get wrong most of the time are:

- Make sure what you understand the conclusion is is exactly the same thing the paper concludes. That is the one I see people doing wrong most often, if you are not an academic, usually papers don't say what you think they say. One of the things to do here is taking your list of fallacies, and looking if you have fallen for any of them.

- Make sure the paper's conclusion is supported by its body. Yep, once in a while the above problem affects the scientists themselves, not only outsiders. And peer reviewers are not immune to it either.

- Take into account the paper's (predictive or explanatory) power. For more complex experiments, it's summarized as the p-value. Keep in mind that there may be many papers out there not published because they got the boring result, so the odds that you are looking at an statistical oddity is higher than it seems. It's usually good to ignore a single paper with low p-values (like 0.95, but if it's a popular research topic, maybe even 0.995) and wait for a trend to appear between papers. But also here, try to answer how the hypothesis would apply to different populations, and if there is any reason the paper got a biased result.

- If you can, look at how any experiments were conducted, and if (and how) the author corrected for confounding elements. But this one already requires a lot of know-how.
This is not a joke. The horrors of that time and place are stuck with the author. I have relatives who were peacekeeping there later, and they were completely changed by the experience. He (and they) are doing what he feels is right telling us to prepare, and we should listen as long as there's no harm to the preparation.

I'd love to own a vacation home, enjoy HAM radio and small firearms, and don't mind keeping a month of food and water around if I can manage it.

Does this have an impact on CSIDH? I couldn't find it mentioned in the paper.
It's confusing to me too because if the blood is 99% saturated with oxygen is there only 1% CO2? Is hyperventilating getting to 100% or further?

Are we talking about the same numbers as a (calibrated) O2 optical saturation monitor reports or something else?

Compare visual compression schemes such as .jpg - they too produce nasty artifacts if you compress an already compressed file. Something plenty of people don't realize. (You need to go back to the .raw file or at least a really big .jpg and compress that more strongly.) Sure, .jpg and .mp3 could have a bit of AI to recognize already-simple or compressed files, but that's another chunky feature that doesn't affect their main use case; and .mp3 was a commercial venture. Every program can always be better, but as the old quote about art goes, no painting is ever finished, only abandoned (in a good-but-imperfect state.)
Ah yep. I guess you could do http polling with a durable object - would have to do the math to see if that had lower expected costs. Websocket are prohibitively expensive.

Your music tastes are not representative of the larger population, nor is your hearing ability.

For example, in all the MP3s I've listened to I have heard a pre-echo only once: in a pre-echo demonstration on Wikipedia (where the pre-echo was even amplified).

Shortcomings exist, but were never relevant to the masses.

Besides, the alternative to MP3 back then wasn't using another format, it was "I cannot download music at home".
If you're like me, then you are constantly making media for different social media platforms. I know it's not always easy or straight forward when trying to create something that looks good on different social platforms and devices.

That's why I decided to create this comprehensive framework for creating and structuring beautiful, mobile-ready images, videos, graphics and other social media content - all in Figma!

The purpose of this framework is to help you create consistent, beautiful social media images for any platform. There are many of the most popular sizes for social media posts ready to go, just choose one and start designing. This framework is organized so that it's easier to find sizes for different types of posts. You can easily see how your design would look on all the different platforms you are creating content for.

With this framework you'll be able to easily create beautiful posts that work on all platforms, so you never have to worry about sizing again!

If you found this useful and would like to support me, you can check my Twitter or my Github. I’m always open to feedback and requests, so if there’s anything you want me to cover in the future, let me know!
Borrowing and repaying with interest are growth. You don't need growth to renovate your home while working for the same wage for 30 years, if you can afford to pay back on those wages.
For generating electricity, in dollar terms the Levelized Cost Of Electricity (LCOE) of PV is definitely much less than CSP. I don't know the current numbers, though. However, it is not clear to me if in terms of impact on environment, which technology is better. Even more unclear is if it makes sense (in terms of environmental impact) to scale either of the technologies to double digit percentage of the world's electricity requirements.

However, when I last did the calculations, passive CSP is much better at hot water generation for industrial applications - leather/textile factories need a lot of hot water or steam. CSP can at least cheaply pre-heat if not fully heat or boil the water.
>So in the end the number is less than 1/20th.

even for fully-grown adults it is an extremely alarming figure.

How can we make robotics more like generative modeling?
Right! I got to this part and I thought, why am I reading a blog from someone this dumb. He could say, I don't know much about economics but recessions and depressions happen. But no, I have a friend who explained the world economy to me..

Later there is a section by person who survived the collapse of Bosnia, but even the blogger can't confirm it is authentic.

I kind of hate read stuff like this because people who want to convince you the world is ending often are secretly hoping that the world will end as some sort of validation. Be prepared for natural disasters and power outages, thrive in the world as it exists.
I think problem here is one of trying to limit the "pre-crime" instead of the crime itself. We have a problem with companies using mass data surveillance to keep track of the movements, generally of large amounts of people. Trying to stop this by creating laws that prevent taking pictures is almost doomed to fail.

Along the same lines, if an office follows someone (they believe might be related to a crime, etc) around town to track their whereabouts, that seems within reason. If the police force (using advances in technology) tracks the whereabouts of all people at all times, it's unreasonable. It's the same thing, just at a different scale.

We need to find an effective way to allow the "components" of something that isn't allowed, without allowing the thing itself.
The fix should be up now.
Why can't you just remove bounced addresses manually (with a one-off script, etc) from your list before importing it?

The study actually shows the exact opposite. It looks at levels by country, and the US levels were less than 1 ngE2/L, meaning "no risk".

I think niche app stores will be able to engage is much stricter moderation. For example, a kids only store could focus on knowing their developers and forbidding in app purchases.
Wouldn't this be illegal under GDPR? A license plate number can be linked to the owner and therefore can be a PII, as well as car serial number or other identifier.

Also, this shows that no matter if you pay for the product or not, you become the product for squeezing the data anyway.

Also, this could be a national security issue everywhere except US if US government would be able to track the cars all around the world. For example, what if they will track the cars used by defence industry employees or military personnel?

Such tracking equipment should be banned for import, but it is more likely that local government will just ask to provide the data to them too.
Unfortunately, neither the first nor the last way is customiseable (and I consider changing the locale pretty brute-force …), or at least not according to the Mac experts I asked when I did a deep dive (which, to be fair, was long ago, before iOS even existed). You can always use the Unicode picker, but, if you never use, say, Opt-Z for Ω and want to re-bind it to something else, or if you wish the 'o' long-press menu included ő … too bad!

(I admit I am engaging in the rhetorical tactic of confidently asserting that something is impossible in the hopes that someone will be lured to come along and correct me, so that I can be happily wrong.)

I don’t think there’s any evidence in the least.
> safer drivers paying less is perhaps equivalent to dangerous drivers paying more

That’s not what happens in practice: drivers concerned about their privacy don’t use those apps, not those who drive the most carefully. Subscribers remain a minority. This is a shame because careless driving requires very little information, nothing that is genuinely affecting privacy.
I think you have a point. Rust is primarily focused on being a systems language, and memory safety is the killer feature it brings to the table in that domain. But we know that Rust is being used in areas where its qualities as a systems language are less important.

Why, for example, would a Python developer pick up Rust? Probably because of the really strict typing addressing a major pain point for most Python developers and the trait system being somewhat analogous to Protocols, which any Python developer who has chafed with the dynamic typing is almost certainly already familiar with. With good library support for interfacing between the two, it's a more natural coupling than most people would think on the face of it.

That said, while I don't think a Python developer reaches for Rust because of memory safety, I do think it's still an important factor as it provides the guard rails that make it so someone who has primarily used a GC language and not had to concern themselves as much with managing memory can start using Rust knowing that the compiler is not going to let them accidentally shoot them in the foot when it comes to memory management.
I would also like to point out, though without citation because I am lazy / uninvested, that in the past (1800's and back) money was lent to the friends of the wealthy at no interest.

Profiting through interest was usually considered in poor taste, and generally lending was done primarily for business ventures and not something the average person utilized.

This means that an economic system that permits lending without infinite future growth can and has existed.

This is second hand knowledge conveyed to me by a banker acquaintance and, of course, everyone should do their own reading on the matter if it is important to them.

His doomer porn has been circulating since at least the oil price shock of 2008 ($147/barrel) and the financial crisis of 2008-2011. It might make for fun video games and striking dystopian movies, but I wouldn't start excavating tunnels under your property just yet. Have some faith.

Besides, making bets that only pay off in TEOTWAWKI is pretty stupid because nobody wins in those scenarios. A better use of time and energy might be to work together to figure out solutions to the big problems we currently face.

Well, if you want that way, then bracket notation can be used like this too, which in the end will hold a higher number than factorial one.
Would you mind elaborating? I don’t know what you mean by ‘excuse’ in either example. You don’t need an excuse as a photographer to capture people sunbathing in their gardens, if you’re standing on public land. And law enforcement doesn’t currently need an excuse for tracking location. In both cases, the real issue is that there is currently (as far as the law is concerned) no “reasonable expectation of privacy” when you’re outside and visible to others.

Yes, and they are.

The retailer should be, and is.
Do you happen to have any resources/tools/ideas on how to troubleshoot this? I’m having issues with mDNS sometimes just not working on a network I maintain. I can run Wireshark on two devices and see that one is sending out mDNS queries and the other isn’t receiving them at all.

It’s not just mDNS though; all multicast traffic is affected (sometimes ARP doesn’t even work, and I can’t ping the other device by IP).
Totally agree. Also, Kopi Luwak will likely by very stale indeed unless you buy it from a specialist.

A much better version of poop coffee is Jacu Bird coffee. They tend to live around good quality coffee plantations and they have a discerning eye for the coffee cherries. Still more of a novelty thing though as it's so expensive. AFAIK Jacu birds aren't force-fed in captivity, so that's much better.

I think you hit the nail on the head mentioning monoculture. If there's only one way to be successful and accepted, anyone who doesn't fit the mold simply drops out. In a more varied society there are more alternative "acceptable" paths available to those people who didn't fit the mold for the primary path.
I think you meant thanks to a sane(r) macro system? Both Rust and C++ use monomorphisation for generics, I believe shitty compiler errors are due to C++'s templating.
