How is not the same thing? You can’t use the land for anything else. What just because you didn’t use heavy machinery to extract minerals, but instead covered the land with panels that is somehow morally superior? The land can’t be used for anything else, so it’s essentially “destroyed”.

Changing an email address seems like a solution totally out of proportion to the pesky problem of spam. I can see many ways for the system to work effectively:

1. Have this "official" email only for communication with "state" entities, or some such filtered allow-list. It would be fantastic to have a high-SNR electronic channel for "all the important govt bureaucratic stuff". Folks could always forward mail to a unified inbox if they wish, but regardless they get an effective filtering tool.

2. For non allow-list entities, charge some trivial amount for every incoming mail that goes unread or gets flagged by a user as spam (or some such). I suspect this will quickly change the economics to make most spray-and-pray crap to become unviable.

In essence, as with any communication system, I think the most important design goal is to have high SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) channels which we can suitably label for specific delineated intents. We shouldn't be treating the inbox as a monolith with all pieces of uniform importance (or dictated by the shiny content of emails); we should be able to leverage IT to have the system work in the user's interest -- it's a matter of setting up incentives/responsibilities.
It's almost like you can't connect an energy crisis, food crisis, monetary crisis, and war crisis with the agenda set forth. It's almost as if you have no memory or ability to strategically connect trend dots on a function.
Battlefield nukes have almost no benefits with an incredible number of downsides. Russia would become a pariah to the few allies they have left, and the fallout would hurt the territory they want to capture.

I have made a small webtool to help calibrate various EQs by ear. It kind-of mimics a graphic EQ in the browser which can also play tones around the EQs frequency bands, which should sound about the same loudness as their neighbors according to the ISO loudness curve. I increase or decrease my laptops EQ bands until the tones on the webtool play without obvious difference. This is sure to be an unsatisfactory process for technical purposes, and I couldn't even guarantee that I implemented the loudness curve well, but I have a lot more success using it to help tune EQ than without it.

I suspect a lot of the toxic discourse originally comes from folks not understanding each other's use cases and priorities.

For some, memory safety is a means to an end: delivering value. In this perspective, one must weigh the benefits of improving memory safety against the complexity costs of proving memory safety. In some situations, the improvement is too small and the added complexity is too much. Some apps and some embedded situations come to mind. Languages like Odin and Zig can be stellar in these situations.

For others, memory safety is a responsibility, and upholding it is a basic requirement of modern software no matter what costs we need to pay for it, and if the world would just accept that, then we as a society could move past the days of rampant vulnerabilities and odd memory bugs.

Both sides are equally compelling, to me at least. What I hope people can learn is that it really depends on the situation. There is a place and time for both approaches. Once we can accept that, I think the toxicity will dissipate.

As far as being instrumental, it's the usual suspects. Better role, salary, respect, job satisfaction, confidence, etc. It doesn't happen overnight, you still have to consistently perform. It's also what you make of it. If you get a degree that you never use and no one knows about, your life might not change much. I personally used my degree to help me tackle more challenging projects and work towards being an authority in my field. I found success in that, not everyone does.

It took about 3 years to complete the degree.

They have to follow ICANN rules for registry operators, just like everyone else. Google can't simply shut down their registry operations: management would be moved to another registry operator.
Whoa. That's a lot of examples.
This is not novel. Look through the tzdb news and you will find many instances of similar and considerably shorter periods of notice.

Just to pick a couple from last year that are unambiguous and well-documented (most you’ll have at least a bit more trouble finding first-party announcement of):

2021d: Fiji gave a month’s notice on suspending DST for the season.

2021b: Samoa gave less than a week’s notice on cancelling DST.

I have a feeling there was a less-than-two-days’ notice a few years ago, but can’t be bothered hunting for it. But there are many more of things like “eh, we’re shifting the start or end by a day or two or a week or two, with less than ten days’ notice”.
I'm not sure why you'd think things you do have such little impact on the world?

In reality, it doesn't matter what you are doing if it can survive for a long time then it will eventually have a relatively high impact on humanity. Think of the things we see in museums: shaped rocks, ceramics, rudimentary art, bones. Anything that has survived for hundreds, thousands, millions of years is worth very much to us as humans because we are junk collectors.

In that regard, what's more durable than our genes being passed on? Reproduction is one of the easiest way to ensure some bits of your information are conserved. But in reality, anything you do has some kind of impact in the world; though I would say it's impossible to quantify and it's impossible to tell if what we do has a positive or negative impact.

With this in mind, why would anything matter? In reality, first we need to ask ourselves if we think our own present experience is valuable. Not everyone will agree. But if you think that you existing right now is desirable then you may agree that others existing right now is also valuable, from here, it's easy to think that others existing in the future is valuable. This, coupled with, the work of others in the past has been valuable to me in the present will give you that the work of people in the present will be valuable to other's existence in the future. And because it's not possible to really quantify whose work is how valuable at which point in time it's easy to say "my work, regardless of what it is, may become valuable to someone's existence in the future".

But as I said, if you think of things from this perspective, you might want to try and do things that will live through as many years as possible in order to maximise the chance of them directly influencing people's lives in the future. I think the digital age might prove very useful, if we build these repositories and we manage to keep them alive for as long as humanity exists. I mean, right now people's work are being used to train all kinds of artificial intelligence that do all sorts of cool stuff. They're data points, each almost as useful as the next one.

So yeah, the real pain point of nihilism is actually thinking the present matters; rather than the future. We can't tell what's going to happen in the future, but we know the past is valuable for the present and so it's very easy to concede that the present may be valuable for the future.

KYC is by definition a form of centralization - the government endows a well known private entity with the authority to run financial transactions on behalf of individuals, subject to certain constraints and information gathering. Since any form of practical KYC involves centralization, my proposal is to have an open system where brokers can join and compete amongst themselves, and where hopefully you might find one that does not sell your data.

There is no logical compromise between a KYC value transfer system and a non-KYC system, you either have auditable customer identity or you don't, in which case all is lost due to the Sybil attack: the money launderer can create a limitless number of pseudonymous identities (for example in Bitcoin, wallets) and transfer value both om chain, and off chain, by selling those funded identities (see for example the method used by Chipmixer, where the actual value transfer happens after the "clean" coins have been injected into the blockchain, sometimes months after).

That fiat converters are obliged to follow KYC is irrelevant to the issue being discussed here: blockchains as money laundering machines. The police will never ask a successful criminal for their tornado proof because police will most often be unable to follow the proceeds of crime through the pseudonymous value mixer that is the blockchain.

> the data does not support that money laundering is a bigger problem as percentage of transactions in crypto than traditional finance. The AML laws have been largely ineffective in practice in traditional finance

Anti-money laundry coverage is spotty in the traditional financial system. Where it is employed, it's very effective in exposing criminals, curbing their profits, thus motivation for crime, or pushing them into risky and noisy beheaviours (ex. truckloads of cash). Current blockchains are by design unable to comply with the most basic AML requirements and it's sheer lunacy to brush that problem aside or claim that crypt is in way comparable to physical cash; it's crack cocaine vs weed.
Exactly. It's so predictable that the top comment is complaining about regulation on this site. But what's the alternative? "The free market regulates itself?" No thanks, that's how we got in this mess.

Under many circumstances, even most, this is generally true-ish. However, experimenting with Stable Diffusion in recent weeks has shown me that when you need to load something in memory that's greater than 8GB, only physical memory greater than 8GB will do!
Cirrus had a bad safety record when the aircraft first came out (this was the SR series). In essence it was a similar story to the “doctor killer” mantra that plagued Bonanzas early on… essentially pilots with more money that flying skill. The SR series are nice aircraft but also not “docile” relative to other single engine pistons. One can get into trouble real quick if flying outside the numbers and envelope.

Cirrus really revamped their training and that had a big impact. They also changed training to really emphasize chute pulls, which had probably led to some hair trigger pilot pulls but has also saved lives.

Will be interesting to see what happened here when all the details come out.
Well you better "reel in" the entire internet then. Can't put the genie back in the bottle, and turning a profit running a retail establishment is dying in most cities, and already dead in some (NYC for example). Where do you expect these pay raises to come from? The robots are coming, they are coming fast, and they will replace all of us (perhaps even the ones who program the robots).
As an engineer I got into logic through the philosophy department. It was very eye opening for me.

Engineers are not models of logical thinking that they assume they are. Illogic is everywhere and it takes constant vigilance to avoid always going with your gut feelings.
Overcrowding isn’t an issue because it’s a subjective opinion? What? By every measure cities are more crowded than suburban areas.

Every big city I’ve been too has been dirtier than low density suburban areas of equivalent wealth.

Cities are definitely louder than suburban streets, if they’re in cul de sacs and not next to a main throughway.
This incident looks like it may be one of those cases. The pilot was on the glide slope to the airport when he runs into a microburst and decides to pull the lever before getting pushed down into the lake.
not really, human memory is surprisingly non-linear, and temporal ordering is pretty poor. even for important events.

more importantly, making someone aware of their inaccuracy of something so close to them could quite possibly make them feel ashamed, or embarrassed, perhaps even disrespectful. but it’s just how memory works.

Most households in the U.S. already had mobile phones by 2001. Market penetration was even higher in Europe. You're right about the smartphone thing, since they didn't really exist until 2002. In 2001 BlackBerry, the most popular smart-thing with its own mobile radio but no phone, had fewer than 200k subscribers world-wide.
Usually, longstanding hoax articles are moved to a new location where they are clearly identfied as hoaxes. Example:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_hoaxes_on_Wi...

This retains the editor history but hasn't happened in this case (yet; I'll ask for it to be done).

Meanwhile, some older versions of the article can be seen here:

It’s interesting to me that this story does not try to argue that vaccines and boosters inhibit infection or transmission. At one point this was a key benefit claimed by health authorities and the news media. I think it would be more credible to acknowledge this was wrong (if it was) and explain why the mistake happened.

The article does state that the new booster, like other vaccines, will make hospitalization and death less likely. As someone not at much risk for an Omicron death or hospitalization, I read this article wondering what the takeaway was. It was not very clear. Reading between the lines, it seems to be that older folks and others who are vulnerable should get boosters, including this new one. It doesn’t explicitly say that it is OK for me to skip it, since lack of the booster doesn’t increase (I guess?) my chance of infecting a vulnerable person. But I hate having to guess about these details. Every time I read a muddled article like this I’m less likely to read or trust the next Covid story. I used to be glued to the coverage but now I actively avoid it. I think the media and CDC have handled themselves pretty poorly in terms of clear and well grounded messaging.
I'm increasingly keen on such a system. If nothing else, it removes the massive costs & uncertainty of paper delivery, and allows a searchable archive of the "important" bureaucratic stuff. Among other things, this also means that you don't have to update addresses in a hundred registries every time you move. This will obviously be a target for spammers, so I don't mind controlling inbox access very strictly (suggested a couple of mechanisms down the thread).

Basically, a high SNR channel which can be delineated for specific intent. This can be controlled through allow-lists or whatever.

Even from the state's perspective, this seems like a very cheap solution to what must be a great administrative burden.
You know lithium ion batteries were developed in 1980, and practical versions didn't come out until almost 10 years later, right? Battery tech does not move quickly.

Founder of paces.com (YC S22) here, our software identities the best places to build their projects and so this topic is very close to my heart! Some quick thoughts:

>We take an all of the above approach and support the siting of all decarbonized energy from solar to nuclear. The renewables vs nuclear arguments is something people working in the industry don't really think much about, as everyone is trying to execute and build as fast as possible across the board.

>Grid capacity followed by permitting/nimbyism are way bigger limitations than land availability for decarbonizing the grid in the US for at least the next decade.

>Rooftop solar and C&I battery storage are going to be a single digit but crucial part of our energy mix as they bypass issues with transmission.

>Offshore wind will be bigger than many think and it bypasses the land use issue.

>I grew up on a sheep farm in Ireland and am a big fan of Agrovoltaics which also help with land use issues when considering livestock.
I have run a software product business solo (apart from my wife helping with bookkeeping and proof reading) since 2005. I really like having complete control over the products I write and the complete absence of alarm clocks, commuting, ties, meetings and bosses in my life. Also you can do a lot on your own, it just takes time. But I rely a lot on feedback from customers as to where the products should go.
“Stevie” because it’s so real and even almost quits half-way through because the filmmaker had a personal relationship history with the subject. Set in one of the poorest parts of the United States. I saw it at the Angelika where I worked and warned everybody: this film will test and possibly scar your heart and emotions.

For non-US folks, it’s set in a place that you probably don’t imagine really exists here, but it’s a level of poverty and despair on par with any urban slum or containment area in its own right…
I have to disagree with the Typescript part. Granted, it's not a bad suggestion, and there's a lot that's good about TS, but this isn't what I would consider a good place for it for a few reasons.

TS, in my experience, has limited benefit when it comes to building a UI, and frontend JS is heavily married to UI programming. For guaranteeing UI functionality, writing years is a better use of one's time. What's more important with UI development is the ability to change visual components fast, and TS often gets in the way of that because it's strict as a feature.

Someone who is deep into TS may have the experience such that they are an exception, and can really benefit from using TS across the board. Since the OP is asking for a frontend framework, I would not assume they are one of these exceptions.

Where TS really shines, IMO, is in business logic and library code, because that's where concrete expectations and promises typically lie. TS is also really good for writing backends for similar reasons.

This might be most appropriate for the OP:

Frontend: Some TS for logic that's well separated from the UI, but don't try to make TS work within code that is rendering stuff. Major frameworks put in lots of effort to support TS in the view layer and, with some exceptions, it usually comes with caveats

Tests: Use JS. Your tests should not be an app in and of itself.

Shared libraries: Use TS only if you prefer it or if other entities are using it, in which case TS helps your code fulfill it's promise to third parties.

And if the OP really ends up hating Typescript, then they should just not use it. TS is not a requirement.

This is a common psycoacoustic effect and probably not due to the loudspeakers or the room acoustics (which are linear): the (perceived) loudness of a tone is frequency and level dependent [1]. This makes sounds more bassy at large sound pressure levels.

I wouldn't trust anything from Toyota about EV's since they're fighting the change teeth and nails, but what I take away from this is Toyota plans on having hybrids with solid state batteries in only 3 years.
It’s hard to see this as unironic. The predictions read about the same as predictions of the 1980s from 1972, 1990s from 1982, etc. All of the ideas seem tired because science fiction has done them to death so the apartment building is the one in Ballard’s High-Rise, the edible wrap comes from an M.F. Doom song, etc.
To OPs point, a .TXT would work just as well.
The point of the C11 memory model is that it gives formal bounds on what optimizations the compiler is and is not able to do. In particular, it is free to reorder memory operations as if the program was single-threaded, unless the memory operations are explicitly marked as atomic. My assertion is that if you do these optimizations and then have a data race, it's functionally equivalent to undefined behavior, even if you call it something different and loudly proclaim that your language doesn't have UB.

I only see Hoop Dreams mentioned once, without comment, so:

It's a 3-hour doc about two urban black teenagers who are basketball phenoms, and are recruited by a white suburban high school to play for them. Three hours is long enough for an extended meditation on what their lives were like, and what they hoped to get out of basketball.

Read the Roger Ebert review of it.
