No they do not create more pollution, at least on a per-unit basis. As it states in the article 2-stroke motors create a ton of air pollution.

It is also much easier to ban 2-stroke motors, which have cheap electrical alternatives than ICE cars in a car dependent US city.

I think even in a larger town this is viable to see plenty of people that you know. Part of the problem is the car centered infrastructure in America that makes it impossible to walk places and makes it seem normal to have to travel 20 miles to get groceries or a haircut.
Scaling False Peaks
Will a weaker euro lead to greater US investment in European startups?
I worked in a room next to a public library in the late 2000s and since the work was not that demmanding, I had plenty of time to read and explore the library. Someday I found a room full of old books that were not catalogued, it was a donation from the family of the town`s main doctor that had recently died. I spent a few weeks exploring his collection and when I went into a science fiction book, I dont remember exactly but I think it was Arthur C Clarke Profiles of the Future, I found a receipt dating beginning 60`s, it was a receipt from an airplane company. The doctor had been the mayor in that time and had paid the company just to have a plane flying low over the town.

I could never exactly figure out his motivations but I like to think that there was some sort of commemoration going on in town and he hired the flight just to have people know what a plane was like. It happened in a very rural area of Brazil, in a town that by time that had not more than 1000 habitants, no television, no paved roads, almost nothing.
CEOs have been clamoring to outsource devs since the 90s. I'll let you guess how that's worked so far.
Bypass all this by having an inflatable front and back that auto-inflate to make a pointed front and back when going over 40 mph on a straight road

In the U.S., many tractor trailers have something similar, but they fold out on the back and underneath the trailer to make the rig more aerodynamic.

Example: https://www.fleetequipmentmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03...

I've never seen any fold-out attachments for the front, so there's probably not much to be done there, except for the roof of the cab, which often has a built-in fin/wing/whatever to help air get over the trailer.
I agree with the GP that it's very difficult to get contributors if the project is not usable. Reading the post in reddit, it looks like just a call for help for an empty project.

But looking at the repo linked in the post https://github.com/kaveh808/kons-9 and the demo, it looks like you have something that is already working.

Also, what does this mean in the readme?

> If you're brave enough, change the pathnames in main.lisp and eval the buffer.

I see no pathnames in https://github.com/kaveh808/kons-9/blob/main/main.lisp I don't use CL, so perhaps I'm missing something, or it's an outdated instruction.

Another important thing to get users (and later contributor) is a complete idiot proof method to install the project and run the demo [1]. something like "git clone & make demo" or whatever is the correct syntax for that spell.

For anyone considering zero-calorie fasting for more than 1 day, please read up on it first. Pay special attention to the need for salt. You need to start every day of the fast with a glass of saltwater, on the order of 3 teaspoons of salt. If you take hot baths, you will perspire and need more salt. Take a glass of saltwater to the tub with you. Because if you sweat in the tub there is a good chance walking to the kitchen will be a panic-inducing challenge. Also, it is best to do extended fasts, at least after day 3, on vacation/holiday. You may not feel like doing much.

It seems like it rate hikes would reduce demand, and I think policymakers believe a reduction in demand will force the price reductions.

For example, in the US, recent interest rate hikes led to even larger mortgage rate hikes. The increase in mortgage rates had the effect of making it more difficult for people to afford homes. Once mortgage rates started rising here, I started to see a reduction in homes sold and it has started to lead to a slight reduction in home value.

I LOVE the iPhone SE. Excellent phone for the value. I had the OG one (the one with the iPhone 5 form factor) and finally framed it on my collection of iPhones once Apple deprecated it.

I love the Mini even more. I'm only using the Pro for the wide angle lens, but I'm ditching it once the Mini gets the triple camera array, if it ever does.
Can you elaborate on this a bit further?

Suppose that I have encrypted ZFS datasets. Naturally, sometimes the process of working with datasets is interrupted (due to, eg, power loss and so on). Is it known how much plaintext could potentially leak to disk outside encrypted ZFS datasets, possibly accessible by forensic analysis?

That would violate the confidentiality guarantee in the event of an accident.

Related to this, if I recall correctly, if the encryption key is changed, ZFS may not destroy the old wrapped key and may keep it stored on disk outside the dataset. This is apparently due to the copy-on-write system.
Yeah. Tests are broken :-)

Your statement on preferring "open maybe evil, maybe sometimes accountable power" holds true for me too. However it is not black-or-white; The powerful could vary in their transparancy. Some things must always be convert, e.g. military operations/strageies, others such as the consequences both good and bad of gain-of-function (GoF) research should be open to the public imo.
Powerful actors may believe that the public is not capable of having a measured discussion about gain-of-function research. Seeing Germany close their nuclear power plants does point in that direction.

However I am not going to trust some scientist who's career depends on GoF to be impartial either. Any discussion about GoF should realisticly include the cost of covid-19, saying otherwise I would consider effectively lying -- as long as they cannot find a convincing alternative source. Even then GoF research might still be worth it. I have no idea how many lives it has saved.

The damage to the trust in public institutions from lying about this continues to be a massive cost on society.

There is now fuel injected 2-stroke engines which will pass the current Euro4 emissions rules for dirt bikes and motorcycles. There's no reason that a small 2-stroke can't have lower emissions today. It's clearly more expensive to make a fuel and oil injected 2-stroke engine than a simple pre-mix 2-stroke, but it's possible and then you get all the benefits (and even more!) of a traditional 2-stroke in terms of power output, you just have a little computer and some injectors instead of a carburetor.
To go from "most of the people in congress support X" to "therefore X was popular to the left wing" makes quite the leap, first of all that congress evenly represents its constituency. Left wing of US is tiny and has little representation in congress and mainstream media (including NYT). This is true today as well as back then.

I think you're also overstating the bi partisan support the Iraq resolution had. Of the Democrats, only 39% representatives and 29 out of 50 senators voted for it. Among the bloc who voted against the Iraq Resolution were politicians like Bernie Sanders, Lynn Woolsey, Barbara Lee, Peter DeFazio, et al., who at the time, represented even your definition of "left wing".
Thank you for your response.

Euclidean geometry is a vast subject with many theorems. Those theorems are logical consequences of the 5 axioms of Euclidean geometry. Just 5 statements are the basis for a large number of logical consequences. Imagine then how many logical consequences are possible from the many statements of the U.S. Constitution.

There is no explicit right to an abortion stated in the U.S. Constitution but courts 50 years ago said that this healthcare procedure can’t be completely outlawed. They enshrined it as a right. It has been a right for 50 years. Now it is not. I talked with a conservative justice on a state Supreme Court many years ago. He told me that the legal basis for Roe had slowly been established by precedents over the years. He did not say whether or not he agreed with those precedents. I’m just pointing out that the expansion of the rights of women to an abortion was not without a well reasoned path. Sort like how after enough theorems one can see that then sum of the degrees of a triangle is 180 degrees.

There have been historical variations in laws between states. Slavery is the quintessential example of this and it led to the Civil War. If there is too much variation on the legal protections between the states this can lead to chaos. The Court should be in the business to equalizing rights across the nation and not diminishing them. The Court is in the process of trying to equalize the rights to guns across the nation. While I oppose the interpretation of the 2nd Amendment most people have it should be equalized across the nation. This is particularly true since travel is so much easier now than in the past.

We will soon live in a country where an act is legal in one city and a death penalty offense in another. The last time that happened we ended up in a civil war. I don’t believe we will end up with a civil war over abortion but I can see liberal states telling Texas to go ahead an secede when Texas declares their right to do so (as they have done at various times over the past 40 years).

The Court’s action is extremely divisive and I don’t think state legislatures should have to right to limit medical procedures. Let’s assume we both agree that at conception the embryo is a human being with all the accompanying rights. I don’t think state legislatures should able to force a person to risk their life to save that embryo. Should legislatures have to the right to force me to donate blood to someone or donate a kidney to save someone? I think not. Legislatures should not have the right to force women to risk their lives to save an unborn child.

We disagree strongly on this issue. We disagree on the role of the Court. There are major power imbalances with regard to the power distribution among the states. These structural problems are coming to the fore due to results like overturning abortion. Such is my view.

I hope you have a good day too. I will read any response you make but won’t respond further. I doubt you will convince me my position is wrong and I doubt I’ll convince you but it is fruitful to read other peoples’ opinions.
Here in NL, leaf blowers are used by munipical park service employees. I can attest that the constant whining noise of these things can really drive you up the wall when you're trying to get some difficult work done from home.

More news at 5. People seem to forget that Google is still a marketing company. This is precisely their business model.
I live in DC, a few bits of info about why it makes sense here, and may not make sense in your home:

1. They didn't ban leaf blowers, the banned _gas_ leaf blowers. Electric ones are quieter, inexpensive, and work just as well nowadays. My building has an electric Milwaukee that was 200 bucks and lasts all afternoon on a battery or two.

2. This isn't about people wanting to manicure their lawns out in the burbs at 7am on Saturdays and using a gallon of gas per decade. DC is relatively dense with mid-rises and office buildings, it's the grounds crews and landscapers running them 9-5.

3. Coincidentally now with the age of work from home it's an extra boon not to have your neighboring building's super blasting a leaf blower below your window at 11am during your zoom meeting.

With any policy you have to look at the downsides -- people and companies have to buy new leaf blowers and batteries, what's the cost in money and environment? But I think they're fairly minor compared to the upsides in pollution and peace and quiet.

The main people who get hurt by this policy are small business landscapers, who are eligible for a subsidy to help replace equipment, which I think is a nice compromise.

There's a lot of hype and misinformation. For one, there haven't been any quantum computers built that could be remotely considered “powerful”. The theoretical basis is solid, and there have been plenty of proofs of concept, but nothing has yet been built which solves actual real-world problems any better than any analog computer would (let alone better than the digital computers we're having this conversation over).

The combination of the massive asymptotic-scaling potential, the subtleties of just what that scaling could and could not accomplish, and the engineering difficulties in actually implementing that scaling, make a wonderful soil for the weeds of know-it-all skeptics and know-nothing enthusiasts to grow and choke out the slower growing… ‹gives up on the terrible metaphor› :p
How is this any different to working with a human artist? If I wanted the real world Salvador Dali to draw me a picture of a kebab being eaten by a badger I'd have to tell him that's what I want. I'd also need to educate baby Dali first, feed him all the art and information he can take so that he has a model of the world he's operating in. I'll need to supply Dali with context of prior art, educate him on styles, literature, language, and all the other things that shape a human mind.

As for the humans that don't use their imagination, maybe they never want to talk to an AI artist, just as many humans don't care about art at all. Millions of humans don't care about social news, and yet FaceBook algos pump out content for people all day long.

Federal Reserve has limited options to deal with inflation. It all boils down to too much money chasing too few goods. The Fed Funds rate is an awkward tool, but the only option once inflation gets out of the bag is to suppress demand. Inflation can be far more destabilizing than unemployment. Of course, it would be nice if the congress could excercise prudent fiscal policy.

You fogot the what if scenario where an asteroid is headed towards the earth. I'm being sarcastic, because your comment is so ridiculous.

In all seriousness though, everything you pointed out is literally inconsequential to the question asked. It would 100% be more secure, requiring a state issued id card to reset your password. Plenty of people lose all forms of identification at some point in their lives, and while it sucks and take a bit of time, it's not an insurmountable obstacle, and will eventually be resolved.

A lot of comments here sound like they're saying these cutesy messages are what non-technical users would like to see. I don't think this is true.

He uses a lot of strong language, so if that's not your thing I would advise not watching it https://youtu.be/k5FcL99NuB8 :)

One of the major benefits of a two stroke engine is the simplicity of the design, which lowers cost, reduces size, and increases reliability. Your proposal is a net loss on all these factors.

A far better solution is to replace these sorts of things with battery powered electric solutions.
Globally, perhaps, but even then supply is, let's say, constrained, currently, and can probably be further constrained to meet demand. I don't see Russia altering their output to accommodate UK consumers becoming poorer.
