That's interesting about the 2 stroke engine being the issue for pollution.

"In 2014 a study published in Nature Communications found that VOC emissions (a variety of carbon gases that can produce smog and harm human beings) were on average 124 times higher from an idling two-stroke scooter than from a truck or a car"

Though this quote does make me wonder, what about when each vehicle are in transit?
>t least in the UK, they were realistic and honest about it and not immediately hiding with spin doctors and releasing reality distortion spells onto the general public unlike in other places.

TLDR:
«through the centuries, the biomechanics that make birds’ maneuverability possible have largely been a mystery.»

Until this study offers an explanation. They «found that most birds can morph their wings mid-flight to flip back and forth between flying smoothly like a passenger plane and flying acrobatically like a fighter jet.»

Ergo, these findings could go into improving aircraft design and aerodynamics of aircraft.

There's a reason various late night comedy show segments on it went viral. Running different anchors from different outlets reading the same script without any indication it's not their own one after the other is hilarious because it's surprising. Every single one saying the same thing, word for word. Segments discussing products with no indication it's paid. Fake products intentionally put through this system by comedians to point out how absurd it is.

I think if you polled a random sample of people you would find most don't actually know this. Or didn't, and don't think it's okay now that they do.

There are many types of email notifications and for some read access is different than setup access.

Consider an outage email containing a diagnostic report. You might be the relevant person on call for that email and based on the diagnostic you forward it to who should be most competent to fix the issue. This person/team has now read access to the email, but they should not be able to unsubscribe you from these notifications.

In general unsubscribing should not be unduly harder than it needs to be.

For marketing email the effort required should be zero; for critical security issues (like certificates) it should be more.
Off-topic, but isn't that a normal (non-reverse) leaky bucket? When the bucket gets full the rate limiting engages. An empty bucket allows for a burst without getting full. It slowly leaks over time at a rate that allows a normal amount of traffic without filling up.
I visited TU Delft a few years ago, having unfortunately lost my debit card a few days prior. It was only a single overnight stay, so I just took a few hundred Euros cash with me and hoped for the best.

It was a nightmare. Cash was wildly impractical to use. The first hurdle was the inability to buy a bus pass from the machine at the airport with cash. Hell, you couldn't even buy a coffee from a vending machine. With every restaurant I had to check beforehand to see if they would accept cash - and the vast majority didn't. I survived, but I'm glad it was only a day.

I don't care if the stats say only 3% of retailers are cashless - in Delft, at least, if all you have in your pocket is a wad of cash, you are a second class citizen and barely able to function in society. If you don't agree, I suggest you try the experiment yourself :)

I would actively avoid such a service. The recovery process sounds outlandishly punishing without addressing a real issue. Any email service competing with, say, Fastmail would first have to offer feature parity and even then a marginally better password recovery would be a secondary feature.

My country offers several national digital identification services and if you can use one of those for password recovery, well that's a feature I would find interesting with my existing mail provider.
He covers this in the article. He manually moves an email to a different folder, maybe about 2 seconds worth of effort, which then triggers everything else and it is hands-off from there.

Not a networking guy. I'm curious if packets have priorities, and if so does everyone get greedy and claim to be high priority? They talk about delay reduction in the article, but a lot of the internet bandwidth today seems to be video which doesn't need to have low latency once it's got a bit in the receive buffer. It just seems like gamers packets should be prioritized for delay while streaming stuff should be (maybe) prioritized for bandwidth, possibly with changing priority depending how far ahead of the viewer the buffer is. Not sure where regular web traffic would fit in this - probably low delay?

Here's a quote from the article:

> In 2017, the California Air Resources Board issued a warning that may seem incredible but has not been seriously challenged: By 2020, gas-powered leaf blowers, lawn mowers, and similar equipment in the state could produce more ozone pollution than all the millions of cars in California combined. Two-stroke engines are that dirty. Cars have become that clean.
The beauty of the food world is that if you're willing to choose a restaurant that doesn't use a delivery app, or if you're willing to do takeout, you save money and get a way better experience. The first time I tried using a delivery app I saw that the service fee was something like 20%, whereupon I laughed and never went back. I'd rather pick up the food myself and pay nothing more than the cost of food itself, or get delivery from a local place where I can ensure the only extra cost, i.e. my tip to the driver, goes directly to the driver, cash in hand.
Having to show up in person would be a non-starter, especially if I had to travel far or had to show up during business hours.

I'm sceptical that it would provide much more security. Do you have the skills or technology to validate physical identification (drivers' licences, passports)?

What happens if somebody has lost their laptop and identification (fire, flood, theft etc)? They don't remember their password, and they are having a difficult time proving who they are?

The point is to cool down investment and maybe to manufacture a small recession to reduce inflation expectations.
Another point is to show that the Bank reacts to inflation, so that people (such as the Trusses of the world) know what happens if they decide to contribute to an inflationary spiral.
Price is set at the margin, it's set by the least expensive product necessary to meet demand. Demand in England is more than can be met by cheaper internal energy, so the price is set by the more expensive fossil energy. If demand falls enough that it can be met by the cheaper sources, the more expensive sources would be locked out and the price would be set by the internal sources.

In the mean time anybody who can produce cheaper than the marginal price books a profit on the difference. In this case, a lot of it.

The article seems to suggest a relatively good bill shot down by a weak or corrupt government that serves the interests of big companies with bad practices who don't want to be sued, actual data predators, etc.

> mCaptcha is basically a rate-limiter

This is a much better explanation of what it does than captcha where I expect "proof-of-human". A PoW based rate-limiter is a really interesting idea! Usually, the challenge with unauthenticated endpoints (ex. signups) is that the server has to do more work (db queries) than the client (make an http request) so it is really easy for the client to bring the server down. With PoW, we're essentially flipping that model where the client has to do more work than the server. Good work!

The paper is about delay-based congestion control algorithms such as BBR, Vegas, etc. From their conclusion:

"We offer three key conclusions for CCA designers, who should model (or better estimate) non-congestive delays explicitly in delay-convergent CCAs. First, to utilize the link efficiently, a CCA must maintain a queue that is larger than the non-congestive delay on the path; second, this alone is not enough to avoid starvation, but in addition the variation in the queueing delay in steady state must also be greater than one-half of the delay jitter; and third, if we have a prior upper bound on sending rate, we may be able to avoid starvation while also reducing the queueing delay variation."

So what non-congestive delays are the problem? A key one is the way modern WiFi agregates multiple packets into AMPDUs for transmission to reduce the number of medium acquisitions it needs to perform. When WiFi is under heavy load this gives good throughput, at the expense of per-packet jitter. If I understand correctly, their conclusions mean delay-based congestion control loses the signal it needs to converge when the target queue size is similar to the non-congestive jitter. Many of us working on congestion control have wondered about this in the context of BBR, and it's great that this paper formalizes the issue.

The implication is that such delay-based schemes need to add perhaps a few tends of milliseconds to their queue delay targets to avoid potential starvation. Doesn't seem like a real roadblock, as per the article title, but the desire to reduce latency further does perhaps increase the incentive for more ECN/AQM research. It's perfectly possible to return ECN congestion marking before a queue starts to build, so this latency cost isn't fundamental.
Do you think they think you don't have trees and lawns in Europe? Why are you acting like this is hard to understand?
Nice! I had written a little algorithm that one could use to implement something like this (maybe interesting if you want to understand how it could work): https://github.com/fabiospampinato/crypto-puzzle

I think there's something to this, it costs you next to nothing to generate these puzzles and you get a guaranteed, tunable, slowdown factor on attackers (or cost increase for them I guess).

AFAIK the spray-in bedliner is a physical component.

Tonneau cover, depends on the model. Mine, there was a slight delay, but FWIW was a 'rolling' (i.e. no electronics) style.

Mud flaps, pretty sure are not electronic.

As another 'ancillary' item, wiring harnesses have been hard to come by, which has an impact on both ICE and EVs. Electronic, but not a silicon supply constrained component per se.
What am I shopping for? A new phone - give me the Apple store a few hours after the new iPhone is announced so I can order it (or 1 generation behind) and have it magic its way to my front porch in a couple days

Stuff that i "always" get and doesn't matter so much about timeliness (shelf-stable staples, paper products, etc) - probably gonna be online (or combined with an in-person trip to Costco etc)

Clothes? Have I bought them before? Yes? Order them online over and over. No? Probably gonna have to go in person to try them on (ugh).

There are plenty of ways they can have humor that don’t compromise technical docs.

> I think it will likely be over by then

So... you agree it's transitory? Why jump in to argue the opposite then? This sounds a little like a strawman, where you pretend that the "other side" meant "transitory" in the sense of weeks instead of a year or two. And no one did.

> won't reverse the damage of two years of inflation

And this is a misconception. Inflation isn't "damage", it's just a change in units. By definition (!), inflation numbers represent no change in total value of assets as a percent of macro numbers like GDP.[1] Your argument seems like it's deliberately trying to conflate the idea of inflation with "recession", when that's simply not correct.

[1] It's true that there is some disruption and relative movement of assets, though. If you're a bank who's written a bunch of dollar-denominated loans, inflation is very bad for you. If you're a credit card user carrying a balance, it's good. On the whole inflation represents a net transfer of wealth from loaners to borrowers, and in the modern US that's actually not entirely a bad thing.
Hmm, yeah, that's actually true now that I think about it.
only be password reset in person

I like that idea. I could see something like this being partnered with brick-and-mortar banks or grocery chains. Many banks already deal with validating ID's and in some cases have free or discounted notary services for their customers. Or at least some national / international chain store. Some grocery stores already partner with banks and have a bank in a percentage of their grocery stores. I'm in the middle of nowhere but my near-by town has a bank and a grocery store.

The more I think about it, this would be more useful and scalable if it were not strictly an email service but rather an identity provider. Think SAML/Oauth provider that is highly extensible to email providers, app providers, SaaS /misc cloud providers, etc... A distributed LDAP managed by banks or grocery stores with simple and secure web front-end API's. By distributed I mean highly fault tolerant active-active in many regions and with many hourly backups in every region. LDAP can store email addresses, aliases, phone numbers and more. The management API would have to contain a distributed and highly detailed journal of who changed what, using some type of cryptographic proof.

If a person changes their email provider, app provider, cell phone provider, or anything else for that matter... then their identity follows them. They would already have in place that which they wish to share publicly and that which companies can use privately to ID them.

With retail on the way out, and lots of open space

I not so sure about the idea of picking up unused buildings. That would be a monumental cost for a single service and probably quite challenging to get funding for. Real-estate is a good investment but comes with a high burn rate insurance, maintenance, security, code compliance, etc... I think this aspect would require a remarkable business plan for investors to not be highly skeptical.
