Also both the Yellow Turban and Taiping Tianguo are millenarian groups that arise during bad times. They’re not all that different from political movements that seek to rebel against the state, just with less rational-seeming ideologies. But to the discontented, it’s very rational.

Also, those groups existed hundreds of years apart from each other, let alone from Aum Shinrikyo.
This feature seems to have a few limitations: You have to point the phone, perhaps for a minute or two, which means you have to be able enough to point the phone at a particular part of the sky dictated by the phone. If you are injured this may not be possible. So not as simple as just pressing a "rescue me" button. You need both satellite and GPS coverage wherever you are. GPS is not 100% available everywhere, sometimes tree cover or tall buildings can block it. Same with satellite coverage. So there are likely situations where it will not work, or it may get a message through but may not be able to send your GPS location.

Exactly, it comes from a bygone era when there was a clear separation between frontend developers (i.e. people that wrote markup, CSS, and jquery style JS) and backend developers (people that wrote PHP, ASP, java, etc. to spit out markup that frontend devs wrote). Nowadays everyone is basically full stack with specializations or focus in specific parts.
> The researchers also warn that the actual planting of trees can have major negative effects. A heath or tundra-like land is a good carbon sink as it is.

That's just one person's opinion - an adviser to a pro-business group - and that article clearly says it's disputed. I wouldn't take that as a firm conclusion.

The data behind the 1.8MTCO2 figure comes from a survey that explicitly asked about how people changed habits [1] and the CO2 figure is "Based on the journeys shifted from cars to buses and trains" [2] not total usage.

Trimming the fat primarily means trimming the fat off a piece of steak or pork, which makes sense because there the fat is tasteless and so completely useless (unless you need lipid calories for some reason).
The headline reads like a reddit post so I'm going to assume the same still holds true.
Even if proposed for vicarious motives, the technology as such may still be the right way to go.

From an environmental perspective, CO2 sequestration for EOR (enhanced oil recovery) makes little sense, other than reducing the carbon footprint of production a bit, demonstrating the storage principle and further developing key technology.

What makes more sense is to use geological storage for CO2 captured from industrial processes other than power generation - production of cement, steel and chemicals, in other words processes that would release large amounts of CO2 even if switching 100% to renewable energy.

Also, we need some place to store all that CO2 that purportedly would be captured using DAC (direct air capture) in the future.
The Data Warehouse Is Dead – Long Live the Lakehouse
I am skeptical of WebAssembly and component-model myself, but that AssemblyScript page seems alarmist and as can be seen in several issues linked from that page, dcodeIO (from the AssemblyScript community) was definitely not behaving in good faith: https://github.com/w3ctag/design-principles/issues/322

It seems most of the complaints are that selecting UTF-8 as a primary string encoding is "against the practices of the web", which seems patently absurd, but also, just plain boring. I was definitely expecting more along the lines of incompatible object models integrating into component‐model, rather than mass-tagging people over string encodings.
In addition to this, it's a belief of mine that we need to make shipping quieter too, so that we don't bother large sea creatures so much.

The deep irony of this is that Apple's approach to the digital ecosystem is to only have this type of model within the Apple universe.

The point is, plant matter is not geologically sequestrated in the present world. The oceans are oxygenated and circulation is pretty strong, and permafrost is decreasing, not increasing. Hence, any photosynthesized carbon material will be returned to the atmosphere as CO2 relatively quickly.

The only way to sequester carbon is to make something like limestone (Ca/Mg + CO2 + H2O -> (Ca/Mg)CO3) and that requires calcium or magnesium ions. There are some sources of those ions, but not that many. Another option is production of something like carbon fiber material, or even better, blocks of diamond.
The "system dependency" wrapper crates are unfortunately dependent on the environment outside of Cargo's view. The Rewrite-In-Rust Strike Force is working on eliminating this problem ;)

Cargo/crates.io has a publicly available index of every crate with every dependency. `cargo tree` lists everything in your project. `Cargo.lock` contains inventory of every package used in the build, including their checksums.

The concept proposed is "pay people in the developing world to be a lifelike NPC", which makes no sense - from the game developers' POV you want to automate the NPC because it's not worth even paying 10 cents an hour for what could be free.

Players farming gold or items are fulfilling scarcity for other players, essentially trading on the value differential of labor in the developed versus the developing world. That's something completely different.
To provide a concrete example, TFA said that 'product' was a 'concept'. Another concept could be 'part'. Another concept could be 'package'.

(You buy a product such as a bookcase. You then go and pick up one or more packages which make up that product. When you get the packages home and open them up, each contains several parts.)

There are lots of different systems at IKEA, which work somewhat in parallel but sometimes have to interoperate. For example, point of sale, returns, warehouse management, showroom design. Some of them care about all of product/package/part, but many of them care more about one of those levels than the other. Point of sale just needs to know what products you bought, not what parts are in the packages. Warehouse really cares about what packages there are, but also wants to be aware of which sets of packages are products.

Suppose that one system doesn't make a distinction between product and package, or uses 'product' to mean either product or package. That system might work perfectly fine on its own, but when it has to interact with another system which cares a lot about that categorical distinction, things will go wrong. So you want to have one place where all those concepts are defined. Then when you create a new system, you can confirm that you are using the same categories with the same meanings as everyone else.
> the tone of the mainstream media narrative around central bank actions is always technocratic.

That's true, but I don't think anyone outside of finance actually pays attention to the MSM narrative around central banks. Rather they get all their information from memes that have little basis in reality.

> I don't believe that central bankers are brilliant economic engineers with deep insights into the ideal economy

They aren't supposed to be. They're just supposed to make sure the money in the economy is circulating in a way that keeps it from spiraling to a point of no return, much like an ER doctor ensures that oxygen is circulating in a patient's body to keep it alive. Most criticism of central banking is akin to criticizing an ER doctor for helping the fat cells more than the heart muscles.

If you exclusively rely on technology then yeah, it's a recipe for disaster. We can't simply ignore technology because of its flaws, it can also bring some positive improvements to the democratic process if combined with multiple layers of verifications. Each of these layers should be interdependent to ensure the integrity of the process.

I found this a while ago https://github.com/microsoft/electionguard, this seems like a good step forward to improve transparency in the process and would allow everyone to confidentially verify that their vote was effectively counted.
I think its mostly because of piracy. While the battery life argument is valid, iOS is ruthless when it comes to killing apps in the background that are using a lot of battery.
The flying private example in the first section misses the entire point (or 99% of the point) of flying private. Flying on a set schedule, arranged long in advance, with 30 strangers, from one major airport to another major airport, is not the point of flying private.

Flying on your own schedule, to/from more conveniently located airports, bringing family pets along, having private conversations among the pax, having exactly the catering you wanted, and otherwise having the airplane to yourself is the advantage that makes private jet travel appealing. Just skipping parts of the TSA checks isn't nearly enough.

The problem with that is that cores are very expensive. They require 100s of kgs of enriched uranium. If you run them at half power, you need twice as many and your cost goes up dramatically.
Primary energy isn't a good measure. You want "final energy" the energy used to actually do something of use. Most of the Primary Energy is wasted, so anyone who is sensibly rolling out cheap renewables (or even expensive nuclear) will see their primary energy go down, even as their final energy goes up. Ideally efficiency improvements also make final energy go down.

Also, EVs help the grid and prevent petro states, like say Russia, from making as much money.
I just have one question - have you looked at GiveWell and the type of work they are doing, or are you armchair philosophizing?
That O2 price seems very expensive - I just walked into a Vodafone shop and got a free SIM and 20GB 30 day plan for £10.

That Truphone deal is not bad but outside of Europe the plans are much more expensive. Mexico is US$24 for 5GB whereas a local SIM works at US$10 with 6GB and unlimited Facebook/WhatsApp/Twitter.

Edit: looking at O2 it seems to be £15 for 20GB. Not sure where your figure is from.

It's very interesting to me that, as an absolute amateur at electronics, I find the Amazon/AliExpress approach infinitely more usable, even though Digi-Key has a better selection of products. Of course, this is because my needs are usually something extremely generic and simple like "I need some 400ohm resistors" or "I need an 8-bit shift register," with a strong emphasis on the "anything goes" aspect.

On Digi-Key I get absolutely lost. There are thousands of options, with different form factors, costs, availability, specs, and more. Can I buy 5 of them? What's the lead time? Is it SMD or through? How much is shipping? Which vendor do I choose?

On AliExpress, I get a bunch of "5 8-bit shift registers for electronics projects" listings, check a couple of them, look up some info, and purchase one in a few minutes.

Of course this means I end up with mediocre, sometimes outright broken parts, but it feels like it's worth the time I save. I wish there was a curated list or an "easy mode" on Digi-Key.
It's alarming how much ignorance there is about forests being carbon neutral in steady state. The sooner we can get cars and power plants off fossil fuels the better.
Yeah, the problem with passenger rail is, as you said, "the government won't let them fail as a group." In other words, they don't have skin in the game.

It's also true that freight is a much more attractive business for a railroad, AFAICT. If you fuck up, you just compensate the owners; no one gets killed (most of the time). But the railroads don't have the option of just giving up passenger service, so they can make it so crappy that people leave

An adjacent mental leap is to recognize how much power workers and the poor can have over corporate and politician behaviors (doesn't have to be violent assassination like this, that's besides the point - what was effective came from the resulting widespread awareness of the subject matter brought to attention). Hopefully LDP isn't able to whitewash it through mild reform.
I worked as a software engineer in bio and am building a company adjacent to this. There's a subset of popular software – especially in computational science and machine learning – that doesn't package well with pip or conda. For those tools, containers are actually a good solution.

Once things are containerized, it's still annoying to cycle between testing code locally on a laptop vs. running in the cloud. I hit this recently with Stable Diffusion on my laptop vs. running on an AWS GPU – I spent most of my time shifting execution between the two.

Lug is a semi-sane interface for running commands in a container and deploying briefly to the cloud: it reroutes Python system calls (like subprocess.run) to the Docker container. It pickles the function and its dependencies, so it's a single argument to switch between local and remote execution.

My experience without zram has been that running out of ram almost always crashes (without a swap partition) or locks up (with a swap partition) my entire computer. My experience with it has been that running out of ram almost always slowly degrades performance, but keeps the system responsive.

I haven't noticed any noticeable CPU overhead when not running out of ram - nor should there be any.

It is the default on windows and mac for good reason. I'm a pretty strong believer that nearly all desktop linux users, and most server users, would benefit from it as well.

The outrage is that people are under the assumption that these wait staff in the US are NOT earning minimum wage. That is incorrect. Wait staff will earn the minimum wage for the time worked, because if tips+pre tip wage is less than the legal minimum, the employer makes up the difference. They have a real benefit over the other minimum wage earners because they can earn more…much much more in some places.

The question of should their employer pay them more per hour? Well, I think the market does a pretty good job of managing that, especially now that in many places in the country restaurants are having a hard time finding the help they need. If I need a server, and my offer is I’ll guarantee them at least $10/hour…that is going to attract workers to me over the restaurant next door offering only $7.5/ hour. If I am fully staffed with good servers, I can attract the customers who will pay my tip earners for me compared to the place next door with lousy service.

I've used torrents to download software so that the provider didn't need to pay bandwidth to share their software.

There are completely legal and reasonable reasons torrenting exists. They're excellent at making huge downloads possible with the more efficient bandwidth. Instead of that, we have an ecosystem of "installers" that exist purely to download massive files to install.

> How is "debt" defined if we're defining money as debt?

When you obtain a loan from the bank, you are conveniently paying back in the form of fiat currency, which you have earned through your labour. But if you fail to meet the payments, then the real debt emerges - the collatoral (your house, car, etc).

In this sense "debt" is just reinterpreted as "owing an agreed resource" which, for the most part, is conveniently valued in USD/EUR/etc.

The short film "Money as debt" was the eye-opener for me. It's probably still available on youtube somewhere. I urge anyone looking for a light-hearted, but apparently factual, introduction to start there.
That says it has a brightness of 2400 ISO Lumens, which roughly translates to about 600 nits according to this site[1], (although my back of the napkin math of 3.426 nits to lumens would give a worse 408 nit rating, but I think this page probably did a better job, so we'll go with that). This seems pretty low compared to even OLED TVs, which are of course worse than LCD TVs. I may be comparing peak brightness to average brightness though, hard to get a clear idea here. But, if my understanding is correct, with a project you'll also miss out on true blacks, right?

Like with some areas of medicine, many people are opinionated on economics because they're suspicious they're being exploited and questioning the system seems like a way to push back.

In medicine, though, I have more confidence (overall) that establishment views are scientific.
I've had some bosses/clients that were "involved at a technical level". Let's just say that their being "involved" in a successful project is not a perfect indicator that they are particularly skilled innovators.

For example, consider Steve Jobs. He was hugely involved, but not particularly technical. He was very strong at marketing, and also very strong at understanding certain kinds of user need and then berating people until he got something that met his high standards.

> how can politicians be directly to blame for everything bad

I didn't say this, ofc. I think you meant to say, how can they be to blame for the implementation. I think "the why" is obvious in that context. They craft the legislation and vote on it.

> Surely majority people are electing this person to do what he/she/they are doing.

Surely not. Elections are not physical handcuffs, where everything that an elected official is elected for is performed or all expectations are met. Voters largely have to make compromises based on all kinds of circumstantial conditions, like the range of candidates and their records and their sentiments on related issues. You probably know all this, but the phrasing makes me think you don't understand the way democracy works in a practical sense.

Rent control is a niche issue for most people. The result of a rent-control policy is usually nothing a voter can directly notice or measure over a relatively long time, say multiple election cycles. That's why most analyses of rent control are sampled over a years and large populations.
