> Methane has accounted for roughly 30 per cent of global warming since pre-industrial times and is proliferating faster than at any other time since record keeping began in the 1980s. In fact, according to data from the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, even as carbon dioxide emissions decelerated during the pandemic-related lockdowns of 2020, atmospheric methane shot up.

Unrelated but I am getting so sick of this cliche.

I'd agree normal people don't have those things, but also add that things not mentioned — e.g. TVs, ovens, and fridge/freezers — will add up. At such a low average, even lighting will contribute non-negligibly.

Two questions though: how common are TVs in Germany? And how common is electric hot water for showers/baths? My sample size is pretty small (and mostly limited to Berlin).

This should absolutely be litigated to stop the blatant laundering of copyright under the guise of fair use.

Copilot's API is surfacing snippets of work without licensing information attached alongside. It can be shown in discovery that Copilot does access the origin work.

The sooner this is slapped down, the sooner we can avoid addressing the even more troubling question that exists today: is someone who used Copilot to throw together a bunch of code infringing copyright of works where those portions originate?

This is a complex problem with no satisfying conclusions... how could one be violating copyright if they never accessed the 'copied' work to copy? Copyrights aren't patents. Infringement requires copying.

Using Copilot launders the user's awareness of the origin works, yet making the Copilot users liable for widespread "accidental" copying would be troubling.
Yes I was not referring to the Byzantine empire because as culturally interesting as they were, their economy was no match for the complexity of Rome.

'Hugged to death' is a term I use, and doesn't refer to any particular platform. Typically some sites get linked to by high-traffic news sites using the site/page as a form of reference for backing up the news site's claims.

The thing is, these high-traffic sites spend thousands per month on hosting and have elaborate beefy setups with CDNs, and are renting fat pipes to serve traffic, which in turn DDoS'es the linked-to site in question, and the smaller site is probably running their site off a $5.00/mo Digital Ocean instance and just can't cope with the traffic.
Sounds amazing! How do you avoid the "oh, one more minor thing that is absolutely needed or the entire project will be a failure" that happens 75 times at the end of every project?

Do you just waterfall the requirements and don't start working until every i is dotted and every t is crossed in the requirements?
That statement directly contradicts the claim made in that article:

Methane accounts for half of the average 1.0 degrees C of warming the world suffered over the past decade and reducing methane is the fastest strategy available to reduce warming.

Why do you think this claim is wrong?
"Lifestyle creep" is a great term! Not to be confused with the creep lifestyle of course.

My own lifestyle creep has become problematic, but thankfully not yet crippling, and I'm working to claw back some of that creep. But not in a creepy way.
"Conditional update" requires consensus to be fault tolerant, and regular Cassandra operations don't use consensus. Cassandra has a feature called light-weight transactions which can sort of get you there, and they use Paxos to do it. It unfortunately has a history of bugs that invalidate the guarantees you'd want from this feature, but more modern versions of Cassandra are improving in this regard.

>Realizing this, textile manufacturers (we’re talking about factory owners, at this point) first use watermills, but there are only so many places in Great Britain suitable for a watermill and a windmill won’t do

It might be prudent to interject at this point that the windmill itself did not appear until 9th-century Iran, and the more common horizontal-axis version is first seen in the 12th century in the Low Countries. The possibility of a vacuum and thus the fact that air is a substance (rather than a quality of the world) was first conclusively shown by Torricelli in the 17th century. It's very hard to imagine not knowing things that we have taken for granted since early childhood. Even if you could make things spin by manipulating gases (which is what a steam engine does), it's very hard to improve your design if you have no idea what's going on inside it!
> the vendor, or their bank, can easily determine you gave them a privacy.com number

evidence for that, please?

There are numerous advantages to a privacy.com number besides cancellation:

* you're sure that your real credit card will not leak out when (not if) they get hacked.

* You get notified every time the card is charged (or declined).

* You can set dollar limits so they can't pile on other charges.

* You have a complete record of all the charges on that card. You know that no other vendor can use it.

So refusing a privacy.com card, if they can even do it, would be a consumer-unfriendly act.

Methane has a pretty easy resolution as well. Capture and burn it. Even if you simply emit the resultant CO2 in the atmosphere you've drastically decreased the impact.

> Methane is generally a secondary byproduct in the industrial processes from which it is emitted. Coal mines, for example, seek to vent methane from the mine workings because it can cause explosions. Historically, mining companies have not viewed the associated methane as an energy resource in its own right.

It's mostly associated with fossil fuel extraction so the other solution to the methane problem is decreasing fossil fuel consumption in general.
My Kindle says I'm 45% in (including footnotes), but honestly I'm struggling a little bit with said repetitiveness. It's fascinating stuff, but the real exciting insights are far and few in between. I have a limit for how many dates/places and names I can take and I'm almost there.

As far as cherry picking evidence I understand your concern but it didn't bother me as much of it was used to dispel previous conclusions and assumptions based on an even more limited understanding.

A lot of it is like:

"We thought humans went from A, to B to C but really humans went from A, to B back to A and then to D and here are some great examples".

I'll probably pick it back up in 6 months. Happy reading!
I noticed that twitter.com also has no <title> tag, the title gets set once the JS loads. Kinda surprising to me that such a popular site like Twitter doesn't have such a basic HTML tag.
You're spamming this post, that complains about spam from your product.
If your EQ is low you need to avoid focusing on the person or identity factors. For like a million reasons starting with the fact that it's not your strength.

Instead focus on individual ideas and their merits. If you have to criticize, focus on the objective materials and stay away from the personal aspects.

Over time this will help you evaluate things like the level of prospective risk a person is willing to take, which is a good swap-in for BS given that the latter could mean just about anything and is an emotional word, while the former is less of a harsh judgment and more objective.

Good luck

It is a big surprise to me that TR requires 50% ownership by locals. Unless it is a very new requirement, I think you are misreading it or something. I know quite a few foreigners which had no problems with opening companies in TR, in freezones and outside.

Edit: I just asked, my friend has no idea why you think it is impossible to open a company being a sole founder. It takes just 3 days and it is a straight-forward process.

Standard rate is 30% for placement of permanent positions (e.g. recruiters) and 10% for contract.
That is very difficult to achieve though. Most contracts through recruiters top out at £700 or so in DevOps and Cloud and it’s tough to go direct with large businesses for consultancy type rates.

It sounds as though you did it by combining the skill set with an enterprise app and negotiated hard by owning that niche?

Despite your deserved success, UK contracting rates are on average poor compared to east coast and west coast US.
Martin's goal was clearly a sort of political realism (e.g. a lot of what's going on is heavily inspired by the War of the Roses, a real historical scenario), so complaints about how something was politically unrealistic are probably most relevant. He's very concerned with "people really act this way" or "people really fight over things like this", and not as much with "people can really build a 700 foot tall wall with medieval technology".

(That said, the specific article danso linked to is actually one where being nitpicky about logistics makes plenty of sense, because the show chose to make the entire episode about logistics. Once you make a topic the centerpiece of an episode, you'd better get it right. :D)

It's also worth separating Martin's goals and the TV showrunners' goals. In some ways this is where a lot of the criticism of the last seasons of the TV show come from, as the showrunners had to break out on their own without Martin's plot to rely on. This changed the implicit priorities of the show, and the audience noticed and weren't thrilled. Perhaps best exemplified by the last part of the show where the surviving lords of Westeros elected Bran as king "because he had the best story". (Though there was also the way that armies started basically teleporting around, because although Martin didn't care that much about logistics, he still did care a bit.)
I made fx at Flexport, which hosted many of our CLI tools. I liked it a lot, so I made one for myself when I left: https://github.com/jathu/fx

It's nice not to have to provide external references to renew your passport. Canadian passport holders have to provide two references to renew their Canadian passport. I'm a birth citizen and have never lived anywhere else. And my reference couldn't be family members. As an introvert, it wasn't easy, but I managed to find two people.

The Canadian government should abolish the requirement to provide references to renew a passport. It's pointless and creates a burden for people who are not extroverts with dozens of friends.
Yesterday we launched open testing of the MVP of our timesharing platform. So far, the product is a database that stores parameters of participants such as name, time zone, profession, competencies, experience, fields of interest, learning needs, teaching abilities, and expert's contacts for the public.

But the main version will become an all-in-one tool for time management with the following features: - Task management - Sale of meetings from personal schedules - Employee scheduling and time tracking - Dialogues and group chats - Reviews and ratings system - Internal hiring and recommendations - Project’s newsfeed - Transparent reward system

Now we really need your feedback on the registration process on the platform. Basic questions are:
1. Do you understand the value of MVP?
2. What additional value would you like to get from using MVP?
3. Do you understand the concept of the main application?
4. What strengths and weaknesses of the main application have you identified for yourself?
5. Did you have any problems during the registration process? If there were, which ones?
6. Should we allow users to check the database before the email address is confirmed?
So TL;DR: you produce a mailing list software, and someone used it to spam 88 HN users

Obviously there is a limit -- for instance, we all agree that deciding not to change your plans to drive home when you get shit-faced is and should be illegal -- so where does that limit occur, and why there?

In most modern languages today you can just return a tuple, not needing to mess with TLS.. whereas old times didn't really like passing results in out parameters (by ref) (which makes sense, it's less ergonomic).
Agreed.

Note how babel is presented, by the way (last point in particular):

Babel augments Org code blocks by providing:

interactive and programmatic execution of code blocks;

code blocks as functions that accept parameters, refer to other code blocks, and can be called remotely; and

export to files for literate programming.

That just seems like the birthday paradox rather than anything truly eerie: as you add more shows, the odds that two won’t have something going on at the same second decreases.

True, although there is also the advantage of convenience - all the time recovered from NOT having to go either fetch the materials and do teh maintainence yourself or bring the vehicle to the dealer/service station and wait. Count it as two hours each time, and it's easily 20 hours saved, more than half a work week that you are now free to do something else
Climate Change is a perfect scapegoat. Inflation? Climate Change. Energy Shortage? Climate Change. Unemployment? Climate Change. Wealth Inequality? Climate Change. Draconian Measures to suppress social unrest? Climate Change. Capital Controls? Climate Change. Extreme Taxation? Climate Change. Failing Infrastructure? Climate Change.

It's much better scapegoat then the Jews, the capitalists, the burguasue, the kulaks that were popular last time around the system collapsed, because it's more complex, more abstract and timeless.

I saw a list of acceptance rate here: https://github.com/lixin4ever/Conference-Acceptance-Rate.

Is 18% or so acceptance rate really low, though? Almost 2 in 10 submissions are accepted, and I thought "the top" meant something like 2% or less.

BTW, is there any resources that catalogs which ideas in papers may work well in industry? As someone outside of academia, I find there are simply too many papers, even from top conferences, for me to consume. It's hard for me to know which paper's ideas can help me or not, and this 18% acceptance rate is not a good enough filter any more.

It's not a meta analysis but rather an attempt to counter widely held but incorrect (in the eyes of the author) assumptions about human societal evolution. Much of the book was "We used to believe this, but now we have evidence that shows that to be at least partially incorrect". Many times he pauses and says "we really don't know but..." and I feel that's honest because much of it is conjecture.
I'd take the manufacturer's efficiency claims with a grain of salt; they are not going to be individually reproducible, let alone comparable to each other for those models. You can drive a manual for fuel efficiency, and be assiduous in doing so; there is intent and skill involved.
How’ve you managed that? I’m a test engineer in the Bay Area but when I move back to the UK, if I can’t carry on with my current role, I’ll go into contracting.

I'd argue that, in the case of stable diffusion (and AI in general), the pivotal year was 2017, not 2022. 2017 is when that team of Google researchers invented transformers, and AI (including stable diffusion) has been zooming at light speed ever since. I don't think I've seen a single cutting-edge generative AI since 2018-ish that didn't include a transformer somewhere in its architecture. (Except, I guess, NeRF techniques.) They're even being used to create, effectively, robots that think and plan and communicate those thoughts and plans in natural language.
Reading that, it's a scroll with unknown provenance (many wildly inconsistent stories were told about where it was found) from a guy who promulgated other frauds and all we have left is apparently a drawing of it.

I don't think you can meaningfully authenticate a scroll from just that, especially not one with a dubious history like this.
I don't really see the distinction here (other than in an uber pedantic sense).

All efforts to combat global warming about reducing or eliminating the acceleration. If one of those methods is both cheap and has a fairly high impact (which, methane reduction appears to be) then why are we focusing on "but this doesn't eliminate global warming"?

Adding renewables and nuclear to the grid won't eliminate global warming, but they slow it down. Eliminating methane appears to be a route where we can more aggressively stomp on the breaks.
The only sensible thing is to keep the carbon (and methane) in the ground, which is the only thing we _won't_ do. The only reasonable conclusion I can draw from the fact that we intend to keep polluting is that the problem will get worse. I'm happy to be wrong, but there's nothing I'm seeing in mainstream media to suggest we're doing anything to actually reduce pollution (like implementing a global carbon tax, which is the easiest and most effective thing that should have been done 20+ years ago).

The hard truth is that capitalism (and infinite growth) is at odds with a stable climate. We've enjoyed a goldilocks period in the Earth's history of unusually stable climate, and now humans have decided to upset the balance.

We might be able to adapt, but we might not. This is the 6th mass extinction event in Earth's history, and I'm not convinced we're so special that we can somehow engineer our way to survival, especially since our ability to engineer depends on doing the things that have all but guaranteed our demise (i.e., most economic growth is powered by fossil fuels).

In VSC, you can open a preview tab which will show the rendered Markdown (including images) and put that side-by-side with your text editor tab.
