No. These aren’t disabling attacks.

It could be a warning from the Kremlin; a false flag operation; internecine warfare; interference by the U.S., Gulf or private actors in Norway; or a pipeline built by the same corruption that shipped cardboard armour [1] doing what Russian-involved infrastructure does.

Which means, since this is cloak-and-dagger stuff, we could add to the list of suspects "anyone who could get access to that Pipeline and wants to destabilize relations between the United States and Germany."
Great idea but the microphone just wouldn't work for me. Also, in one statement, the AI chose a name that sounded like jirybadjirybadjirybadjirybadjirybadjirybad — repetitive. I'm not judging but I thought it was broken for a moment. Shame the microphone hangs.

This is all just a distraction.

We either de-carbonize energy in which case air-conditioning doesn't contribute to CO2, or else we fail.

There is no world where we convince the vast majority people to forgo air-conditioning. Billions of people in India, China, and Africa want air-conditioning.

Energy austerity is not going to save us.

It does not shrink in volume, it does not compress, it only speeds up so the debit remains the same. If anything it would expand as an effect of the Venturi, because the pressure drops.

I’m a fan of the monotone delivery. My brain understands the words better when it’s like that.
I strongly disagree. People in Germany couldn't care less about Ukraine because it is far away. Most assume that Putin will win this war anyways. However, they care strongly about cheap Gas because it directly influences their lives.
China seems to want this war to end sooner rather than later based on recent comments from their politburo.
Very soon you won't be able to buy a computer with a modern processor from either Intel or AMD that doesn't include code written by Microsoft designed to prevent your computer from booting at all unless it's got Windows installed. Currently they allow you to toggle a switch in software that will let you bypass that restriction, but no promises that it'll stay that way (https://www.wired.com/story/microsoft-pluton-secure-processo...) and (https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/59931.html)

DRM is in every browser, and even in the HTML5 spec.

Every computer/monitor that supports HDMI already has DRM included in it designed to prevent you from making unauthorized copies of high quality video content. Like all DRM it's illegal to bypass that.

Starting with Windows 10 (although a windows update later added it to 7 and 8) Microsoft collects your filenames. Apple already wanted to scan their customer's personal files for illegal content.

We're much much closer to that reality than I'd like. There's already very little hope of getting away from DRM.

You are saying someone crawled inside the pipelines and punctured them from within?
I'm not an expert on the layout of those pipelines, but it's unlikely that catastrophic explosions damaging all three pipes stemmed from the same root maintenance cause.

Not impossible without further information, but in general the whole point of having multiple pipelines would be to isolate them from this kind of shared failure.

One of the best lessons that I've been taught in my life is to never overestimate people's rationality and cognitive coherence. The same works for organizations.

Companies not matching significative individual value with significative salary is not necessarily part of a meaningful strategy on their side. They might just do it because that's how slow the job market has moved for X years before the boom of IT, but there's no guarantee that it makes the slightest sense.

I've worked in so many orgs that ended up on the verge of crashing just because they couldn't hire/retain talent. This problem coexisted with their attempt of fixing it by working with consulting companies, which charged 10x what an employee/contractor would've charged. Why not hire someone able to match their expectations you ask? "It costs too much money/time/attention" has always been the answer. In the meantime, consulting shops needed constant monitoring because of their usual tendency to overpromise and underdeliver.

IMHO the most successful companies happen to be the ones which defy common salary negotiation/adjustment practices, and that's not a coincidence. They just think about it and see that paying skilled people a decent amount of money makes sense. And then they can focus on their product/services without getting lost in turnover hell.

Side note: high salary means that an employee costs too much to get him to work on minor stuff. Sometimes you outgrow a team, and if the company doesn't have enough high level problems to throw at you, and they don't care too much about it, then you might peacefully negotiate a goodbye agreement.
For the last 20-30 years social sciences have absolutely figured out what makes people prosper and it has caused quite the upheaval. It's not that we know shockingly little, maybe the author knows little, but the discoveries are either counter intuitive or damaging to certain political worldviews. Nytimes is quite front and center on this one, obviously the wrong side.

Inky: a sloppy command line for the web with rich visual feedback

Abstract: We present Inky, a command line for shortcut access to common web tasks. Inky aims to capture the efficiency benefits of typed commands while mitigating their usability problems. Inky commands have little or no new syntax to learn, and the system displays rich visual feedback while the user is typing, including missing parameters and contextual information automatically clipped from the target web site. Inky is an example of a new kind of hybrid between a command line and a GUI interface. We describe the design and implementation of two prototypes of this idea, and report the results of a field study.

Decarbonizing the grid will be much easier if we have less of a "grid" to decarbonize. The article mentions this aspect, if you had cared to read it. Modern buildings can use this lattice to reduce the load on their air conditioners.

Although I do agree with you in principle. One of the lasting impressions I got from the early Covid lockdowns was that even though we stopped a good chunk of the world from driving to work, flying, running factories, etc., we didn't come close to reducing our energy use enough to prevent more warming. Those lockdowns were a huge exercise in "energy austerity", and they weren't enough.

Barring a change in the political structure in Russia, Germany IS off Russian gas.

There are no political alignments that would reverse that given that other options, such as allowing fracking again in Germany, are not even contemplated.
I think I do mostly look at the top half of the screen, but I somehow reach a different conclusion from you :)

There's nothing interesting on the taskbar, so it makes sense to keep it down there. The most commonly used programs like Firefox, IDE, Slack are pinned to the taskbar, so I can invoke them with Win+[1-3]. When multitasking in full screen, there's Alt+Tab. Overall, I feel like the taskbar doesn't have that much use most of the time, but it's nice to have it on the screen just so I can use it as "shortcut cheatsheet".

Yep, and putin has said that he'll close the valve (well, not him personally).

EU gets cold, and the only way to heat up is to sit down with putin and make some sort of an agreement.

Now, someone destroyed the pipeline, and there's no incentive for EU and putin to make any negotiations, since the pipeline won't be fixed before the winter is over.

But the USA will get to sell overpriced gas to EU

In a way, it's sort of astonishing how much damage Putin has done to his legacy in Russia with this foolish invasion.

One of the most impressive feats of pipeline engineering in the world and his inability to cooperate with other nations has catalyzed its destruction.

In some poetic fashion, it makes sense. A pipeline like this is symbolic of interstate cooperation. Not surprising it would not survive the breakdown of such cooperation that he instigated. When a state engages in medieval-style aggression, it can't have nice things.
But there have been zero indications that Germany is interested in any such deal. Germany is fine with buying gas from Russia for euros, but they have displayed zero interest in offering anything else in payment. If Germany made such a deal I see mass protests and lets of criticism from the rest of the EU which would lose them tons of political clout within Europe. And for what? I do not think it would be worth it for German politicians.
Evidence? I don't see that in any surveys etc. that a majority or even plurality thinks that way.
You can punish people for past cheating. But you can't say "he cheated before, therefore he's cheating now and that's why he won." I've seen that sentiment a bit too often.
It's interesting that this quote in the abstract points out that the dynamic the authors consider bad actually leads to a good outcome: self-sufficiency.

> “While quite young,... Vronsky had experienced the humiliation of a refusal when, having got into debt, he had tried to borrow money, and since then he had never again allowed himself to get into such a position.” (L. Tolstoi, Anna Karenina)

Self-sufficiency has some downsides and inefficiencies but so does its opposite. A better paper would explore that side also, and the balance.
We’ve got really loose penalties in Au. Aus regulation on data protection is quite lax compared to US/EU.

This made me chuckle a bit. The polish government can hardly contract appropriate levels coal so that people who burn it to heat their homes have trouble replenishing their supplies before winter.

I would love to support American manufacturing and buy a Steinway or M&H piano, but it's hard to imagine ever being in that position financially. Who knows, maybe in 10 or 20 more years. My other instruments (trumpet and bass guitar) are from small American makers, but a 6'4" M&H costs $80k and a Steinway more than that.

In the price range that I was comfortable with (a bit less than half of American made), the options were Japanese or Eastern European. Still very fine pianos. The next step down in price from there would be Chinese/Indonesian.

This is a much bigger issue than people realise in our technological
society.

Once, interaction with any doctor would be considered confidential.
Today surveillance capitalism and so-called "big data" creates a new
problem for everyone, young or old, male or female.

We've long known that many men "die of embarrassment", because they
won't go to the doctor. Pride/shame aside, that now affects everyone.
People stop reporting symptoms because they don't want the stigma or
economic penalty resulting from data being "shared" (increasingly
without consent for "research" etc) - potentially to employers,
insurance companies, and various gatekeepers popping up in the digital
world.

It's ironic at many levels.

The information age should give us better health through ease of
communication and access to data. However, the research benefits to
the many that accrue from big-data are a burden upon the
few/individuals. Searching on Google for medical ailments is a sure
way to let the advertising world know all about your health
complaints, real or imagined, and invite spam, inappropriate and
intrusive insinuations. And, as we know recently, for women seeking
abortions it can lead to violence or imprisonment.

So there is an odd communistic utilitarianism at play that defeats the
very benefits our technologies should bring.

Those things do not take long to fix. In fact that's exactly what Putin needs right now: an excuse to stop the gas flow for a few weeks, until the pipeline is repaired. Then of course there will be some time until they test it, and then some bureaucrat in Moscow needs to sign off the certification and allow resuming pumping - which allows Putin to drag this out for as long as he needs.

This is interesting, but it's a tech solution that decreases person-to-person contact which is bad because isolation breeds hatred and anxiety. Just go talk to someone, there are so many people who want to do language exchanges. The problem with language learning is usually consistency and engagement/interest, you don't need tech. This app is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist, and that creates more problems.

However, it is impressive and probably has application elsewhere. I think this should be pivoted to law, customer service some other target market.
