Tree farms are not at all the same environment as old forest growth. I'm all for the critique of S-curves in other responses but this resembles dog-piling.

Or would you say an old meadow full of species of bird, foxes, rabbits and insects, is equivalent to a wheat field?

Planting trees is better than not planting trees, but it's not going to restore the ecosystem that came before it.

There's also the big question, if being exposed to that much advertising as an individual has other (psychological) side-effects as well, rather than just decreasing the effectiveness those ads have on you?

After all, ads are intentionally designed to drive compulsion and to manipulate your (purchase) behavior. And personalized advertising is all about knowing and exploiting everyone's weaknesses for more effective manipulations, isn't it?
We are working on a curated library of independent electronic music called Formaviva (https://formaviva.com).

The library contains ambient, deep, meditative, techno, rhythmic and dub music that we find productive for passive listening, meditation and productivity.

You can find lots of underrated and undiscovered secret talents and music not available on Spotify and other platforms.

The traditional music recommendations algorithms are very limited for deep music discovery as they extensively depend on music history where the best high-quality independent music often times unnoticed by those algorithms where creators have different motivation for music production.

El S. is in a pretty strange place because they don't have their own currency. They have no control over their economy in that regard, so adopting a separate currency which frees them from singular dollar dependence is quite useful.

Revenue != profit. Storing zettabytes of videos across the whole world, with the massive CDNs required to be able to serve that whole world isn't cheap. I can easily see YouTube being among the most costly things Google do.

I took a language class with a large number of immigrants. Over the course of the semester, I'd ask each student about their favorite music from their home country. It's been fantastic. I've learned about whole genres of music, and expanded my listening horizons considerably.

Since it's not mentioned by any other comment: Bandcamp - https://bandcamp.com/

I follow a bunch of artists and labels there, and get notifications when new stuff get published by them. If I find a new artist, I usually look them up on Bandcamp, and follow the label too, looking through whatever other stuff they published.

If I find a really small artist on Bandcamp, I usually look through which Bandcamp users have supported the artist, and look through what else they follow/collected, been finding some gems this way too, but takes a bit more effort.

Bandcamp also has something called "Bandcamp Fridays" (https://daily.bandcamp.com/features/bandcamp-fridays-update) where more of what you pay go to the artists. I usually save up what I want to buy until next Bandcamp Friday and then go on a shopping spree based on my list.
That still doesn't answer why this needs to be solved by added SSH signing format to git (which everything in the ecosystem needs to adapt to) instead of creating a better gpg-keygen.

LXD snap had caused some issues for me. I didn't have any issues with it when it was packaged as a distribution package. Plus I briefly considered it again when VM management came out, but Proxmox still won over it.
Java is a programming language and computing platform first released by Sun Microsystems in 1995. It has evolved from humble beginnings to power a large share of today’s digital world, by providing the reliable platform upon which many services and applications are built. New, innovative products and digital services designed for the future continue to rely on Java, as well. While most modern Java applications combine the Java runtime and application together, there are still many applications and even some websites that will not function unless you have a desktop Java installed. Java.com, this website, is intended for consumers who may still require Java for their desktop applications – specifically applications targeting Java 8. Developers as well as users that would like to learn Java programming should visit the dev.java website instead and business users should visit oracle.com/java for more information.

In the Java programming language, all source code is first written in plain text files ending with the .java extension. Those source files are then compiled into .class files by the javac compiler. A .class file does not contain code that is native to your processor; it instead contains bytecodes — the machine language of the Java Virtual Machine1 (Java VM). The java launcher tool then runs your application with an instance of the Java Virtual Machine.

Great discussion, thank you for bringing this up!

I used to find a lot of interesting new music on Facebook, but I've given up on the platform a few years ago, which now actually leaves quite a gap in my ability to discover new music.

Lately, I'm following nodata.tv and exystence.net in my RSS reader, which is somewhat hit and miss, but connects me with a lot of very eclectic stuff. Also, I find the Bandcamp recommendation algorithm at least acceptable, so I discover some new stuff there. And then there's the DJs and producers I follow on Soundcloud.
worth pointing out, that while the timing of these two articles might make you think that, cost increases in light of the broadcom acquisition seems far more likely.
Same with some of the Union Pacific industrial spurs I'm familiar with here in Silicon Valley.
i've really struggled with this for a few years now - spotify's algorithm has bubbled me and just recommends the same half a dozen albums and artists no matter what I listen to. NTS radio has been fantastic though.
Don't you think in the 90s, Celtic first names in general came back? I knew a lot of 'guillian', 'kevin' (and alternative graphie like 'kevan'), and even Bleuen, Marwen ? I felt like my parents generation celtics name were Yann and Patrick, and in mine it was much more diverse.

I never heard of the expression 'kevin' to talk about annoying or oblivious kids until I left Brittany (then internet arrived and everything changed).

It might be because of the invasion of us tv shows, but don't you think there was regionalism also in the area?
95% from music playlists I follow on Spotify. Check "Discovered on" section on your favourite artist page, look for playlists that seem to align with your taste. Avoid official Spotify playlists and look for ones created by actual people.

Also "Right Now" playlist from Ryan Schreiber (Pitchfork's founder) if you're into that style. Try looking for playlists created by music journalists you enjoy.

Algorithmic recommendations never worked for me.
I mean an amp with only: HDMI eArc in, 5 speakers out, sub out, power button. And <$500. I don't actually want or need the Sonos ecosystem. I also don't want or need a huge, visually intrusive box with dozens of knobs and seemingly hundreds of rear connectors - as is the case with the AVRs. I guess it's too niche for Apple to make one.
It really depends on the company. It sounds like you were working at a B2B/enterprise company? But yeah, getting new business and/or funding is often a big part of the job. It doesn't meant they don't also make decisions - but I guess the bigger the company the fewer different roles the CEO is filling.
Turning the hips does a lot of subtle things, it impresses a rotational force to the rear wheel helping it to pivot on itself, and a rotational force into the pedals to further help the frame to rotate on itself. Further than that, it forces your head to turn into the direction you are heading and your shoulder line to stay parallel with the handlebar.

Man, bike-human mechanics are complicated.
What are the practical applications of CH?
But if I've bought a fridge from Amazon, and it doesn't work, surely the first thing I'm going to do is try to return it to Amazon?

Most people, after all, don't really have the spare money to buy two fridges at once, so they're going to want their money back from the first one before they buy the second.

Once they've started the return process, then Amazon can start recommending new fridges to them.

Again: this is all data Amazon totally has access to. Whether they are failing to gather it, failing to recognize its value, or simply choosing not to use it when they know it's creating a lot of bad recommendations, is unclear.
Just got me thinking - how does such an amount get actually transferred from company to state (EU) coffers?

Do they wire it in parts from their presumably multiple accounts in various banks? Which entity do they send it to? Does the fine allow paying it in installments? How does it pass AML clearance?

And what happens should they theoretically fail to pay? Does law enforcement show up at their door? Does a collection agency handle it?

> Although looking at the UK map makes me sad, all those abandoned lines.

Germany is just as bad. Between 1994 (the begin of the privatization) and now we lost 6.200km of rail infrastructure [1] - something like 15-ish percent.

My s/o and I went on a two week railroad trip through the whole of Germany. Seeing rotting or half-ass dismantled rails, former shift yards and smashed-in former other infrastructure just hurted to watch. Everything has gone downhill, there was barely any investment in upkeep of tracks and buildings, only in new construction of expensive billions-euros high speed rail... the reason is simple: DB Netz, the privatized infrastructure operator, has to pay for upkeep on their own (from usage fees) while the federal and state governments (and in some cases like the Munich S-Bahn also the counties and cities) pay for all the high-profile projects.

We had so, so many industrial areas served by rail as well: in 1994, over 11.000 companies and industrial zones had their own railway attachment - today, it's barely 2.300, a reduction of 80% [2]. No wonder our highways and side roads are overcrowded with trucks. The reason for that is that unlike the US, Europe still has chain-link and buffer couplers, which means shunting yards are extremely staff-intensive to run, and shunting from and to the industrial areas is expensive as well... which means that, thanks to privatization, DB Cargo was more or less forced to shut down the industrial zone supply because the absurd losses this branch brought in could no longer be cross-subsidized by passenger rail.

I think it should be

Say you have a sample worth billions that is about to expire and you do some speeding to get it delivered and analyzed in time. Then the fine should be in the hundreds not in the billions.
> Nope: demonstrating that (the opposite of Goldbach’s conjecture) is unprovable is logically equivalent to demonstrating that (Goldbach’s conjecture) is unprovable. It means we’ll never know either way.

I think this is false. If you find a number N that is not the sum of two primes, you did disprove Goldbach's conjecture. Any such number would be smaller than infinity, and so there would only be a finite set of primes smaller it to check for.

So basically, if Goldbach's conjecture turns out to be false it IS going to be PROVABLY false.

Only if Goldbach's conjecture is actually true will it be the case that it is impossible to prove its negation. But if it is ALSO unprovable (but STILL true) you will NOT be able to prove that the negation is unprovable, because that would mean that there doesn't exist ANY number N that disproves the conjecture, so would prove the unprovable original conjecture....

Consider the statement "All swans are white", but you live in a universe with an infinite number of swans.

Lets assume that there exists at least one black swan. Proving the statement false is trivial once you find the first black swan.

However, if all swans in the given universe ARE white, and you have no way of inspecting every one, you can never PROVE that they are all white. Also you can NOT prove that it is impossible to prove the negation.
In EU motorbikes fall under a different license then cars, so it involves both practical and theoretical test. What I know from the Swedish licenses is that the motorbike one is considered the more difficult test to pass.

There is a "high speed" slalom course you have to do as part of the test and it's impossible to do it without counter steering through it.
The tragedy of the written word between people that don't know each other. One could say "Could you clarify a few things?" in anger or "I don't think the story adds up" smiling and with a friendly tone. In writing the intention of the writer is in the mind of the reader.
I haven't been able to find a link recently, but I recall from a few years ago that that's much harder on GitHub's servers. One of the newer package managers that uses GitHub for hosting (brew maybe?) tried to be helpful and default all their users to shallow clones. GitHub people wanted them to push an update ASAP to go back to full clones, and there was an issue thread laying it all out.

If I recall correctly it has to do with the way they cache git. If you request shallow clones they have to run a git process each time to make a custom download with only the data you need. Full clones get served from a cache.
That signals an extraordinarily inefficient use of land.

Before Google Play Music was shut down in favor of YouTube Music, they had a feature called “Playing Near You”. I discovered so many fantastic, relatively unknown/new artists that became my favorites. I also went to many more live shows because of it. Was the golden age of music for me.

Still waiting on YTM to migrate the feature.
The main issue with critical and complex code is that most if not all of your peers who are going to review your code are actually hackers..........
Hmm no I think that's not quite it. I think it's more likely that you would be a fan of toasters and then, via exposure to the toaster community and various group identity salience maneuvers, find yourself aligning with the sexual subniche; and then failing to recognize that you were just falling into a new social role and instead concluding you joined this group due to an independently and organically formed attraction to toasters.

I'm relatively certain this is how the porny subculture of the brony community occurred. I'd wager that it's largely responsible for the furry community as well.

The thing is, people are extremely malleable and subconsciously willing to change if they see an opportunity to join a warm and welcoming group. I don't think there is any malice or even intentional manipulation in it from any party. But it'd be nice if people could do the attribution analysis a bit better than the post truth "I have always been this way" kind of thing.
