I think a blanket carbon tax at least creates a situation where everyone is paying , in some way, for the externalities they're causing. If some industries don't want to decarbonize because the tax is rounding error to them, then maybe you'd need additional rules or regulations, or maybe we need public investment in some new technology.

I can't think of a case where exempting some group from a carbon tax would be good policy. There is a pretty good argument though that a carbon tax would be regressive, and probably should be compensated for in some way so that poor people don't come out worse off, such as by reducing income tax in the lower brackets.

I think the hardest sector to decarbonize is going to be the military (with the exception of some small percentage of navy ships that are nuclear powered). I could see plug-in hybrid army vehicles eventually being a thing, though. Being able to run off of either diesel or electricity provides a lot of logistical flexibility. You can save the petroleum for when you really need to move long distances.
Given the amount of corruption, deciet, lies I have seen, I would love to see this direction proliferate. Of course, there are chances of the tech itself being gamed, however, it would be great to see action against corrupt people, most of which are able to get by as pursuing in the courts is non-scalable and there's rarely a way to prove.

The systems would need to keep improving step by step. The bad people will keep finding workarounds. It will be a cat and mouse game surely.

Public Sector Network | Senior Full Stack Developer | REMOTE with GMT+2 overlap | Full-time

We're looking for a full-stack developer with 8+ years' experience in Django/Python or similar web stacks, with an HTMX/jQuery/Bootstrap frontend.

This is your chance to lay the foundations of a platform aimed at helping government workers connect with each other, and with the solution providers that can help them.

We have high standards for quality, so you need to be able to solve challenging problems, and to solve them with clean, testable, and maintainable code. This is not a position for a code-pusher, you will be expected to think and communicate at a design and architectural level, as well as understanding the business needs to iterate on requirements effectively. Understanding everything from how to build good UX, down to designing solid data models and handling some devops, is critical.

You need to be curious: always learning and honing your craft.

If you're up for it, please apply at https://publicsectornetwork.bamboohr.com/jobs/view.php?id=28...

She cited sources for her two claims. I didn't read said sources so it is of course possible she either misrepresented them or cherry-picked, but assuming she didn't i'm not really sure what more you want from her.
I think only these comments you've made have attempted to shut down discussion. You're just bikeshedding. If an extreme example throws a point into sharp relief, rather than exaggerates a point, then that's good.
Discrimination literally means "being able to tell two things apart".
In social contexts, it generally means "treating a group of people disadvantageously because of some trait that should not be relevant".

Showing that atheists are treated disadvantageously in the US is easy. Political representation is an obvious one.
Showing that this disadvantage also takes the form of life expectancy and lifetime earnings after controlling for confounders is not easy. But that ask isn't asking for proof of discrimination. It is asking for extremely strong proof of discrimination that would only be possible through monumental effort, and would require a really strong effect, depending on the manner of discrimination, it might not be measurable through life expectancy or lifetime earnings.

Discrimination that makes you less happy whithout shortening your life or impoverishing you is still bad!
> "There's also beamforming and MIMO" No. Beamforming attempts to increase apparent power by changing parameters. One could just as easily say "moving sender and recipient closer". MIMO is also manipulation of sending and receiving antennae, and therefore irrelevant to the discussion about transmitting through a channel with a fixed noise level.

Yes beamforming changes the SNR at the receiver, by shaping the beam to be more "concentrated", i.e. focusing onto the receiver. It is highly relevant because yes by increasing the SNR at your receiver you do increase the throughput (albeit only logarithmically). MIMO is very relevant to the discussion, because instead of increasing bandwidth you increase dimensionality of your channel, which has the same effect (i.e. you increase the term in front of the log in Shannon's formula). I don't know why this should be irrelevant for a channel with fixed noise level (also it's probably more correct to say fixed SNR).
There's a good chance than almost nobody in the city knows how to farm in scale.

If it only ever runs one program, and that program is an implementation of vanilla Transformers, that might be all it needs to be useful. Sufficiently large Transformers can do an incredible variety of tasks. If someone invents something better than vanilla Transformers, then they can write a second program for that.
> Employee talent and costs are really generally not the focus of why companies setup shop where they do.

I don't think that's the case. For example, there are plenty of large, mutlinational companies opening offices in Poland and hiring hundreds or even thousands of devs there specifically because you can get competent people for a fraction of what they'd cost in the company's mother country. Also, of course it's important for them that Poland meets the sane baseline you'd expect from a civilized country, in terms of infrastructure, stability, rule of law etc. - but once these conditions are ok, I think it's mostly about the levels of pay. Most companies at the top levels are ruled by bean counters after all, and they're are always looking for ways to increase profit (and hence stock value) - and reducing wages is a great and easy fix for that.
Jesus Christ that's hilarious! I suddenly get an IT-Crowd vibe about a sitcom taking place in a photo lab.

I notice the title has been changed. I think some people have misunderstood the original title, which was talking about a new category of industrial heat pump, since the site is Norwegian and assumes audience familiarity with 'standard' heat pumps.

Most of the conversation here is about standard heat pumps so the new title suits the conversation better, just thought it worth noting.

> And why is having a data center in Germany a selling point for some of these email providers?

The EU, and Germany especially, have strong privacy regulations and laws to protect their citizens. Having a datacenter in the EU does not mean that your data can't be accessed by authorities at all, but it's harder than in other countries. At least in Germany, a judge-signed request with a specific reason is needed to get data from any email provider. Mailbox even publishes a transparency report[1] with details about said requests: in 2021 they just received 65 requests, 15% were incorrect. 61 of those requests were just about the contact data of the account owner, not even emails or any other data stored.

Around 10W I'd say.
So assuming your router is on 24 hours a day, you're looking at 10*24=240Wh, which is 0.24kWh.

With the electricity price in the EU maybe reaching EUR 0.2/kWh, you're talking EUR 0.04 a day. Even if the electricity price doubled to EUR 0.4/kWh you would be looking at EUR 0.08 a day.
Do you know what the statistically likely result of driving drunk on a single occasion? Since it takes the average drunk 80 times to get arrested the answer is you will probably get home without incident but if you keep rolling the dice eventually little timmy ends up under your wheels and you end up in the back of a patrol car.

Between her and the other lunatic that believed his AI was sentient, I think Google should review their hiring process for their AI related roles.

My hot take: eating the icecream purchased for the observant Jews does make him a jerk. If he wants a special icecream for himself he should ask for one.

Edit: adding some further thoughts. this was an action that subverted another’s intended action — here the company trying to do something “nice” for a particular subset of employees.

However, I also don’t like it when a business or institution shows favoritism. So maybe it was a valid tit for tat.
You wont be able to change their minds on a policy like this.

Could you explain where you get these undertones from? From my perspective she is representing her points in favor of meteorologists, which are scientists and critical of various organizations which are economical organizations. She is also pointing out critisizing about many of the studies that investigated 5G, which is what a scientist should do. Not every study is good. And being critical of bad studies doesn't make you anti-science, but pro-science! She said multiple times that she does not believe there are health-risks to 5G radio.

Paxlovid for vaccinated non-risk groups most likely is useless and the suggestion to distribute it like candy is simply irresponsible.

Initial studies were done with non-vaccinated risk groups and it showed a good efficiency. Since then most people have already been vaccinated and the benefit for them is probably lesser. The post-marketing studies showed that it doesn't help people under 50 y.o.

The other issue is with covid rebound when using Paxlovid. In the studies rebound was something like 2-3%, in practice it happens much more often which can also indicate that the study population that was benefitting from Paxlovid is different from the one that is taking it now.
Yes, and even with that understanding it didn't stop them making it.
The receiver is part of the channel. So if you do beamforming your power at the receiver is higher, i.e. your SNR is higher. Any other interpretation does not make sense, because it's completely irrelevant to the discussion.

My understanding is they load in weights occasionally into sram and then pump in training data on the sides of the die and have multiple cores operate on a wavefront of data. So the cores don't compete for host memory bandwidth because the same data flows (transformed) through multiple cores.
This thread is quite enlightening. It seems the engineering community predominantly would like to be able to self host email (and presumably other services). By proxy of that I guess that email hosting is not just for one user but maybe also friends and family or some community that you are part of. It's quite clear that managed centralised services accelerated the adoption of the internet, email, etc and the majority of consumers don't really care about self hosting but it also speaks to the fact that we've given up ownership of this aspect of our lives without clear understanding of how it will affect us in the long term. If no one but large corporations own all the services we use then it puts us in a pretty precarious position.

From what I’ve read on this page[0], Ghost does allow other providers which I presume includes self-hosted emails.

> I still want to use a different provider to send email newsletters, why can’t I do that?

You can. There is no requirement to use Ghost’s built in newsletter delivery feature. Before we released this feature, thousands of people sent their newsletter using all sorts of other services such as Mailchimp, Sendgrid, Convertkit, and many others. You can easily sync your members database to an external newsletter provider via Zapier, or by following our detailed integration guides.

I don’t know anything about self-hosting, but I’m curious to know if there’s no place for self-hosted email servers when it comes to integrating with Ghost.

I have no interest in the new "let's rewrite it in Go" servers but Mailcow and Mailinabox aren't part of those. They're preconfigured Docker containers running a combination of existing mail software (including postfix and dovecot) that's easy to set up and manage.

Both are terrible for anything but personal or maybe even small business use; they're easy to set up and run, but inflexible compared to a manual install. I highly recommend them for running a personal mail server without fuss though, unless you're interested in manually maintaining your email config.

> The free market competition means that spammers will come along and pay their protection money as well and there goes the service.

And the free market competition will ensure that those providers make stopping spammers (at the source -- signing up for an email service) their priority.

Spammers still use SES! Just the other day I found an SES IP blocked by Spamhaus. I'd argue smaller providers can be even better than AWS at preventing spammers from signing up -- they just need to play like smaller providers and actually vet/accept through referral/etc.

Smaller providers also must be much more careful about accepting spammers, so this helps keep them sharp -- and hopefully we get to a bigger smorgasbord of choices.

If it's actually gross negligence then it's not just potentially career ending in England and Wales, it's potentially imprisonable (manslaughter by gross negligence, max penalty life imprisonment). You're also entirely liable to being sacked and being struck off the medical register. And the victim's family can and will win a medical malpractice claim against the hospital here (albeit probably for less money than the US: the big payouts here are for cases where long term care is needed).

What we need are better staffing ratios and a proper process for designing out error. The Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch[0] has set out to do for hospitals what the Air Accidents Investigation Branch and NTSB do for aviation safety. Let's hope it helps.

> Damage from all the lockdowns was devastating.

I firmly remember all the army trucks sprinting around my home city carting dead bodies and healthcare professionals, and the local government commandeering the local ice rink to serve as a makeshift morgue to handle the huge volume of COVID deaths that all the morgues and armed forces makeshift equipment were no longer able to handle.

I also remember that only the lockdowns were effective in reigning in transmission rates, hospital admission rates, and more importantly death rates.

I feel your personal take is ignorant and uninformed. I'm sorry your life fell apart during the past year, but the things you're choosing to pin the blame on are the things that saved millions from their deathbeds in understaffed hospitals from a disease with no treatment or cure.
One potential source of traffic in LA that will be tough to meet with an EV solution as currently offered is the 'handyman' persona. Either legitimate businessmen such as plumbers or landscapers and what not, or those people who extend their truck beds with plywood to stack the scrap as high as the freeway bridges will let them, either way all of these groups of people are driving all day, at all hours, to oddball places all over the place, and are in need of cargo space. The job site of the day might not have reliable drinking water let alone a supercharger for you to tap into.

In addition to this being a cool project, I love the way the loading screens work. When I click on ‘click to load this panorama’ (which showed almost immediately), I expect that loading takes a while. Thereafter, you are kept updated on the loading progress, after which the panorama immediately loads. In this manner, it is no problem to wait a few seconds. Much better than just looking at a ‘loading…’ screen.

AMD pays for this flexibility by spending about 44% of “Zeppelin” die area on logic other than cores and cache. Dojo only spends 28.9% of die area on things other than SRAM and cores.
