All energy from log burners comes from the fuel, and some ashes remain unburnt. They're under 100% efficient at converting fuel to heat. You put in x fuel and <x heat.

A heat pump takes heat from outside the system. You put in x fuel and you get >x heat. Getting more energy than you put in makes the efficiency over 100%.

Impossible in a closed system. Extremely common elsewhere.
It’s an oversimplification. Protests that cause disruption are not a problem, but you need to keep in mind who you are disrupting. For example: some action to block/prevent private jets from taking off and disrupting wealthy users = great. Blocking the road to airport causing families that have spent years saving for their family trip to miss their flight = bad.

I also disagree that “by definition there needs to be consequences”. Marches, showing the strength of feeling via the number of participants, have been successfully many times and cause little disruption other than closing some streets in the city centre.

Regarding the climate crisis being an economic issue - that doesn’t matter to the people struggling to heat their homes, or feed their children. Those concerns are much more immediate than how we can build a new green economy over the next decades, or how we may be impacting their grandchildren who don’t even exist yet.
QEMU is great, I'm just annoyed by its UI. I'd much rather have a config file I can point it towards than an endlessly long shell script I can't comfortably use comments in (maybe this is a criticism of shell scripts in general).

I guess libvirt would be the "docker compose" front-end, but I remember considering that more complex than would be necessary.

I know Proxmox has some QEMU management tools (which I find decent), but they don't seem to be very popular outside of it.

One cool QEMU thing I recently discovered is the microvm machine type (https://qemu.readthedocs.io/en/latest/system/i386/microvm.ht...), which enables it to spawn VMs just as quickly as Firecracker!

It would be nicer yet if there was some way to say "give me a shell in this ephemeral VM" like docker does it, but sadly Kata Containers appear to have dropped docker support and I haven't been able to get it to run with the alternative runtimes.

> when you add in Islam, why do Christians and Jews suddenly become political allies?

Goes back to the Crusades, the Islamic invasion of Europe and the fall of Constantinople

It’s not like Christianity embraced Jews either, but they did not present an existential threat
Sure, that makes sense. But it's completely irrelevant: the point is that kids identity with cultural moments, and that we shouldn't mistake that for what they're actually going to do when they grow up.

For the record, I wanted to be a dinosaur.

That already happens for other medical uses of isotopes.
This makes me think of the "shark scene" from Back to the Future, and how reality has diverged from this extrapolation.

- It's still ubiquitous, like a hologram accosting you in the street.

- It's still surprising through targeted ads, the machine understands you.

- Unclear privacy concerns, your scream of fear makes it a discussion piece.

- It's short and sweet.

...but the form isn't terribly artful. It's like a surrogate video call mixed with lowest-common-denominator talent show. This may be part of the effect as well to produce the -- apparently -- rather-effective drive to engage.

This rut, and the congestion may cause things to quickly stagnate.

Plus, a horror movie with some 4-dimensional monster that views reality, places, and human connection as some sort of twisted bubblewrap ought to sort these Gen Z-ers out.
It just means there's no third party ads, they still advertise in-universe products.

Actually, that's a good thing to keep in mind. I would not use this for anything serious right now, unless for some reason it perfectly fits all requirements one might have. I see this as useful more for fun side projects and as another commenter said, it's possible to improve accessibility later. Maybe text could be rendered as actual text over the canvas?
Oh, yeah, that'd be factor for city dwellers in ancient Rome as well.

But I've read that educated Romans associated milk drinking with barbarians, so there'd be a social component to avoiding milk, too, even when it was available. Though I suppose those educated (and probably wealthy) Romans would have plenty of other sources of protein.
VC people have always been rightwing. They're not your friend.
They do its the New Product Experimentation team. They've made a dozen+ apps and none of them have been successful. It's just not in their DNA to come up with interesting products at this point.
My thought has been even more pessimistic than that. Why even pass your own legislation when your intelligence agencies can just get Australia to extract that info for you.

You don't need to actually backdoor the targets device, just the platform they use. Who cares about jurisdiction as long as your friends are willing to hand over data in the interest of international security.

Survey results show more men than women feel becoming an influencer is their only viable career path.

How bad do things have to get in your life for you to feel that "become a TikTok star" is your only option. It's one thing to think you want a fun and exciting career when you become rich and famous (I mean, who doesn't?), but another thing entirely to feel that you have no options for a fulfilling life except internet fame.

If a lot of people genuinely feel this way then that is truly terrible, and society needs to start making other careers viable and attainable possibilities.
Why don't you spend some time harangueing browser and other big tech engineers instead of blaming application developers at every turn? The tools we use are ultimately determined by the companies that make them. Complete GUI toolkits are some of the most expensive software to build. We are limited by whatever's out there. The fact that HTML is a poor framework for rich application development is no fault of your average software engineer. If you want to blame someone, blame upstream and the product managers who run the browser engineering projects.
> Dysthymia is, in fact, Greek, not Latin

Ack, of course! Thank you!!

> homonymy […] and amphiboly were taught

Yeah so maybe the issue is that it’s being taught less. Or maybe this is a symptom of having the internet combined with a huge percent of the population having some advanced schooling. There’s perhaps a lot more exposure today to technical terminology for the average person than there was hundreds or thousands of years ago. Maybe this problem isn’t new but has increased in scale.

Using regular English words has advantages though, and I feel like studies in medicine, math, music, and many others that use a lot of Greek, Latin, Italian, etc. for reason of history or in some cases of high-brow convention, might be better, could ease learning and reduce confusion and miscommunication if we stopped speaking in a foreign language.
> It's completely relevant. The point being that being anti zionist is a necessary precondition of being consistently antiracist.

Anti-Zionism being a precondition to antiracism doesn't imply that all anti-Zionists are antiracists. That's fallacious. As I've said, and provided examples for, anti-Zionists contain both principled antiracists and nationalist racist genocidal antisemitic crackpots. It's a union of two distinct sets of people. Anti-Zionism ~= {principled and commendable anti-racists}U{antisemitic neo-nazis and Arab-Muslim ethoreligious nationalists}. The first set of people arrive at their anti-Zionism because of egalitarian principles, the latter are just a broken clock that happens to align with antiracists on this one issue but otherwise they get their views from hatred and ethnonationalism. It's not hard to understand.
For me, the amount of ads and the forced non-sensical recommendations have totally killed my interest in instagram. Right now it's flooded by AI-generated imagery accounts, that if you click on such an item once, you get a ton of these forced down your feed. It's as bad as Youtube with regards to that. With TikTok I can safely venture outside of my interests without having to redo my 'flavour profile'.
Is there a direct download link to the manual?

I wish we knew which apps are contributing user location data to the Fog Feed. This is an egregious abuse of user trust, just to make a buck (or fractions of a penny per user).

Do Apple and / or the Google Play Store have policies about this? Are the app developers in breach of ToS?
Different media outlets have publicized this story by claiming that this program was just for Black and Latino buyers (pretty racist for a company to sell different products and have different policies for people based on race), while this story says that this program is in historically Black and Latino neighborhoods. Kind of a difference if it's open to all people or not. Which is it?

Personally, I'd say that the ''bankers'' are using the guise of ''helping the people of color'' to actually prey on them. This is a slam dunk setup for another government bailout (''Help us Uncle Sam, so many people defaulted on their loans, nobody could see this coming.'') as well as taking control of lots of property during the next economic downturn.
There is a simple way to avoid this. You do not have to carry a cell phone/tracker at all times. Stop taking your tracker transmitter with you everywhere. Or simply turn it off/remove the battery.

I know a lot of people will say that cell phones are too useful to turn them off. And that's fine and reasonable. Just be aware they literally are tracking devices and it is your choice. There will be no legislative solution for this. The government spying ratchet only goes one way.
The headline situation obviously needs an entry or two in the "If I Was An Evil Overlord" List.

Best that you not discover that little detail when you're trying to "seal the deal" with an ultra-powerful Eldritch Abomination, which you summoned from Far Beyond Mortal Realms, and are pulling the still-beating heart from your live human sacrifice for that kinda-critical part of the Horrific Ritual.

And it's clearly a detail which any Faithful Lieutenant should check when "procuring" sacrifice victims. And yet another reason for any survival-oriented members of the Evil Overlord's Legions of Terror to request postings in distant and sleepy bits of the EO's Empire - far from the glory and promotion opportunities...

I'll help your agency with software plumbing. Complex integrations, cloud deployment and performance, and backend code. Happy to get my hands dirty with work your people won't do.

Tech: Node.js, .NET, PHP, MongoDB, PostgreSQL... all kinds of web dev, plus desktop (.NET with WPF)

Cloud: Azure, AWS, Heroku (still a thing)

It's 2022, so yeah, I live and breathe git, CI/CD, test-driven development, all that good jazz!

More importantly, I approach all development with the clarified business outcomes driving everything I do. I won't give you any code that's useless and won't matter to your customers. Rather, I care about your ROI 24/7. You make or save money => I win a repeat customer. It's pretty simple.

I'd say that the technical books are a bit of a stretch, as most things in tech and entropy of their usefulness like apps over time, break.

I might suggest something more above the free of technology and more in the design of software. Ideas that last are the ones around approaches to design vs. actually technology that they are implemented with.

My co-worker (a younger version of me, actually and way smarter is wise beyond his years) gave me this book - which is as old as my career and has relevance on how we design software at my day job.

Not to trivialize QEMU (I use it often and I love it) but usually the challenge with console emulators are A) emulating supporting hardware such as graphics chips which are often undocumented and B) achieving cycle accurate emulation for platforms which need that. QEMU emulates relatively standard hardware for each platform. Even for x86, sometimes I find 86box or PCem more desirable for certain older hardware/software vs QEMU.
I have stepped on so many of those rocker bearings as a kid lol
Seems the buried lede in the article was this:

>>Fog Reveal refers to a company called Venntel as its “data partner,” but neither company would clarify their relationship to the outlet. Motherboard has reported extensively on how Venntel sources global advertising data from its parent company Gravy Analytics. The data itself comes from apps installed on peoples’ smartphones; app developers often enter agreements to sell their users location information to third parties. Venntel then sells its own surveillance product to government agencies, including Customs and Border Protection.

Seems this is no particular app, just apps SELLING the location data on to aggregators, who then sell it to Fog, who surface it in their Reveal product.

So, no need to identify a person or phone and phish them into installing your tracker. This is just find your crime, ID the phones in the area, and start tracking them based on location data sold into the marketplace...

While it's a great capability for the cops, it means that we really are at the point where we've all been sold a covert device to track our every move.

(And deleting our Google location history is worthless, as Google has nothing to do with this.)

Neat. It looks like we’ve found the Gen-Z boogeyman. For me it was video game hysteria. Waiting with bated breath for the next media driven hysteria.
Can confirm. Worked for an ISP. Do any of you even know how much it costs to rent a trencher for a couple of weeks? There's a reason the government has to subsidize internet infrastructure build-out (ie. via CAF, ACAM, etc.) is it's so prohibitively expensive that it wouldn't happen otherwise. As it stands, a new suburban neighborhood that's relatively dense won't see a ROI for at least 10 years (on avg).
I dont know why but many of the problems I have with podman/docker running on M1 seem to stem from QEMU.

E.g. problems suspending/unsuspending the mac, problems starting/restarting machines, etc.

Digging out logs to figure out what went wrong seems to be a pain too.
Had absolutely no problem with it in the UK, US, or Taiwan. Most places you can just pay in advance to make up for lack of credit history. In Germany it makes you suspicious. So no, it's not everywhere. Given how many expats there are across the globe and given that there is 190+ countries on the planet, I'm not sure that Germany is actually in the majority here.

It would be interesting to see the internal distribution within the survey. I'm 25 and I've been in a full-time career for 4 years, so I probably wouldn't have even answered this survey.
Once something like this leaks, we need to realize corporations and intelligence agencies have been surveilling us in an unholy alliance for profit and power for a long time. Some people may have been placated by the Snowden leaks and thinking something must have been done about that, but it has only gotten much worse. There are solutions that individuals and communities can adopt, but experience tells me that few are willing or able to rewire themselves.

I like your comment! However, isn’t it plausible that the underlying population (or the distribution resulting from the ascertainment process) is structured in such a way that N=1000 might well have over-representation of certain subgroups, whereas N=10000 would be likely to have equal representation of subgroups?

You've seriously misread that paragraph. It's not saying those ideas are absurd, but that they are not civil liberties issues. This is spelled out in the very next sentence.

I wish people wouldn't be so quick to rush to take potshots at political opponents. It lowers the quality of discussion for everyone and will eventually just turn this place into another Reddit.
Have you found any limitations to this?
>They can certainly have consequences though, and consequences can lead to meaning.

But the point is that you do need an observer capable of perceiving that meaning. It doesn't make sense that the observer would be the source of the values, but at the same time antithetical to their existence as the OP claimed.

>On one level of reality, but there are many different layers happening at the same time.

Sure, but we then operate on an entirely different basis that precludes the terms such as 'value' that we are currently using. If the layer is different, then the concepts will be different to. And if we can't point to those concepts, what exactly are we discussing?
Yea well when I was 20 I wanted to be a cool EDM party boy like my favourite 2010 era artists.

My dad had long hair in the 80s and all his friends were into metal and goth. They certainly chose to be like that for some reason too.

My grandad likes his rock n roll and folk and... surprise, he was the height of fashion back in the day too.

Who cares? Gen Z are fine doing them. If anything, they need us (now uncool) millennials to empathize with them: talk through the destructive parts of social media, while encouraging them to use the good parts to thrive.
