Is this really better than producing something like synthetic methane (ie, natural gas?) We have vast experience using this as a fuel already.

It does contain carbon (methane is CH4) so you’d need to produce it using carbon from the atmosphere in order to achieve neutrality.
This reminds me of the two most annoying error messages of all time [for me].

The first one is from PayPal. Whenever I try to add a US bank account to my PayPal account, it says something like "You cannot add this bank account at this time, period"

After more than a year, it turned out that there was no way to add such an account for a foreigner, despite my friends [from the same country] being able to do it easily a couple of months before.

The second one is, poor me again, trying to edit a Facebook page URL I created for a side project, that should read FB.com/[SIDE_PROJECT], where FB keeps rejecting my request with a generic/ unexplained/unhelpful error message despite the page URL name was available.

About a year later, I got it working by, SIMPLY, having my phone number verified! How bad!!

I use gorhill's uMatrix (author of uBlock).

uMatrix is awesome as it disables any 3rd party domains and only loads content from main domain that author controls.
it also allows blocking by content type. Like iframes.

I believe some blockers designed for telemetry blocking, like ghostery or privacy badger, will come with js shims. So they will block google tag manager, but will load a replacement JS to make sure the page doesn't behave in a broken way.

uMatrix is more general purpose and does't do shims. Saying this, website should detect telemetry didn't load, and either still work, or display error saying why it can't proceed.
You're right that the trees will eventually grow back and replace that carbon (presuming they do not burn again), but it takes many decades. Am I misunderstanding your question?

>If nobody thinks things are worth looking into again then stuff stays in a very nebulous state which is no worse than where things where before a paper was published.

I don't think so, because of the aforementioned idiots who take a study that can't even be replicated but then cite the paper as evidence for something. If it can't be replicated, logic would say there is a very good chance it's inaccurate. Yet it's treated as being "settled science" which is worse.

Also, many times it isn't that nobody thinks it's worth looking into again, it's that coming to "the wrong conclusion" on some things will end their careers so they'd rather play it safe and just keep sucking up grant money to pump out more of the same garbage.
You've got the ideas right, but a few technical corrections :) (unless I get them wrong as well!)

> At around noon, when the Sun reaches the zenith

The sun approaches zenith, but unless you're at specific places and times of year (under the tropics, at specific time of year for each latitude), it doesn't really reach zenith. At its peak, I believe the Sun is towards Earths orbital pole[1], which is offset from the geographic north/south pole, although those directions coincide at solstice.

> Doing this other than noon is going to get more distortions,

Indeed, the sun approximately describes a circle around the north/south celestial pole at 360 degrees per day, or 15 degrees per hour. Near the equator the circle tends to be larger and follow direct east-west discussed earlier (in particular at those times when it reaches zenith, that near equinox in tropical regions, i.e. less than Earth's inclination latitude). This can be accounted for if you know your latitude and day of year. (I'd love to dive into the math of this)

> Thinking about this, this is probably how the clock and the sextant lets people navigate on the open ocean during the age of sail.

Indeed, very fascinating to me :) If you take measurements very precisely, you can approximate both your bearing and latitude position very well. If you have an accurate clock you can also infer your longitude, i.e. a celestial based GPS!

Another useful thing to know: in the northern hemisphere, satellite dishes point south. In the southern hemisphere, they point north.

This is because geostationary orbits (where satellites that communicate with fixed satellite dishes are located) are all above the equator.

So, these dishes are aimed at a point above the equator (possibly with some eastward or westward component, but mainly southward).

It is not 15% mark up. It is 50%.

Over 50% of the rise in prices for groceries during the pandemic are from corporate profits. Raises in input costs (38%) and labor (7%) made up most of the rest. When the price raise is 50% increased profit during a time where a large fraction cannot afford enough to eat this is price gouging. It is extremely clear.

All jewelry signals status. Wearables just add some functions to the ancillary time telling.

One thing I think it interesting about the status marker of wearables is that it is a bit tied to its origin at the moment. Maybe that will wear off in time, but as of now, they have a whiff of "white collar drone" to them. The really wealthy people I know wear (very expensive) analog watches, or nothing on their wrist.
It's sales and value added taxes that are the issue. Some places are really easy, others are difficult, the rules depend on your location, your business other potential nexuses, and the location of the customer. Once collected, the taxes must be remitted properly before the due date. You may need a tax account for every nexus. To submit the returns electronically either requires scraping websites or convincing the government to let you send them another kind of method, perhaps using EDI formats or their own XML or other weird formats.

I knew a 70 year old man who played raquetball at the Y. He could compete with younger people and had other hobbies as well.

The guy said he was pleased he never had kids. He considered himself 'younger than his years' and lived like it.

He was kind of obnoxious and wasn't really a happy person. I pity the guy, outside his hobbies I don't think he had much to look forward to.

Oddly I have found that switching nearly entirely to video meetings has helped me participate better, because it gives me "license" to interrupt. I'm culturally a hard-line non-interrupter. In person I will always wait until the other has finished speaking, collating a list of items to address with them (often forgetting them along the way). In video calls I have experienced a new sense of permissiveness where I find it's much easier to jump into the middle of a conversation. I'm not sure if it's because everybody is waiting that extra few hundred ms due to latency, or if it's purely a psychological difference of not being face to face with them in person, or knowing that people will be judging me less harshly because it's plausible I'm interrupting due to latency rather than out of disrespect for what they are saying.

I know this is opposite to the experience for many others who I assume have an easier time with in-person interactions because they feel very natural going with the conversation flow.

Fire is a natural part of the landscape. We are seeing today the consequence of 100 years of aggressive suppression combined with forty years of failed management. There are those arguing today that we should accommodate fire, harden our homes, and live with the consequences, including terrible air quality. But there's another way. We can actively manage our forests. Mechanical thinning combined with fire in the shoulder seasons can return our overstocked forests to healthy condition. While we could let nature run its course, it will take decades of catastrophic wildfire to get there, with the attendant loss of life and livability. We should support active management of our federal forests to produce better outcomes more quickly.

What grows in a dessert?
Posted this because I just bought some shoes at this store at my mall.

Unlike most mall stores, these people are on the ball and the store is a well thought out machine to get you a pair of shoes that fits your needs which is just an alien experience to what you usually get at the mall.

So I think it's a great marketing case study.
Typically the parents conducting this experiment can't tell the difference, but people can who know them but not well enough to be emotionally invested in that family succeeding.
I have a strong habit of "autocompleting" people's thoughts in my head before they're done saying them. I'm only right maybe ~60% of the time, but it comes with a strong urge to interrupt them and let them know where I think they're going. This is especially true if I can tell that it will take them multiple sentences to finish their thought. It does not come from a place of "you're wasting my time, I get it, jeez", but more from a "I understand the point you're making and I am eager to hear the next thing you have to share."

What I've noticed is that my habit of interruption is received wildly differently by different kinds of people. It drives some people absolutely crazy, and in these settings I've learned to be a little more mindful and try to restrain myself from interjecting so frequently. However, for other people, it works wonderfully and we'll get into a really fast-moving conversation where less redundant information is shared.

My theory is that two well-intentioned interrupters can have a pleasant conversation, and two well-intentioned waiters can have a pleasant conversation, but any pairing of an interrupter and a waiter will be disastrous unless both are very mindful of how they participate in the conversation.
I think you’re omitting one of the most important nuances in the article: Wait (interrupt-averse) culture works well when turns speaking have short time spans. It’s effectively built in interruption.

What’s interesting about your preference—that’s what it is, none of this is objective—is how much it reinforces my own interruption aversion, and how much that reflects your preconditions. I just generally prefer communicating with the yields being the prevailing assumption and that the interruption signals deviate to make them more rare.

It’s not, to me, a question of efficiency but with the question posed, I find communication much more efficient when there aren’t N+1 speakers (the interruption queue being the additional participant), particularly when N queues get saturated.

Granted all of this, either approach or any blend of both, takes patience and active effort when preferences don’t match. And granted my preference is also just that, it’s not objective. But I definitely have better communication with people who generally agree to yield communication space without prompting and who generally agree that not yielding automatically is a good indicator that their thoughts are more complex than fit in a tiny contained space.

In contrast to your last paragraph, I get frustrated until I let myself get bored when I’ve got a stack of interruption-paused thoughts that might have addressed any dozens of things said, but which I’ve lost track of entirely by the time the stack unwinds.

And… that was a lot of words, sorry about that. I yield both implicitly and explicitly.

Severe Covid can have systemic effects (as can a lot of viruses), but mild and asymptomatic cases (in which people are developing T cell immunity following proximity to a person who has been infected, without the need for antibodies) typically aren't, because the immune system is functioning properly and presenting an effective barrier to the virus at the epithelium and preventing the disease from progressing to viraemia.

Our immune systems have great methods for stopping the progress of pathogens at natural entry points, but this protection is circumvented when substances are injected into people's muscles, and a varying proportion of them (depending on whether the vaccinator hits a blood vessel) then enters the bloodstream.

It would be interesting to see how many of the patients at your facility had severe cases of Covid and how many had also been vaccinated; of course it's difficult to make comparisons (as I'm sure you're aware) when "Unvaccinated" status lasts until the 14th day post-injection.

The atmosphere is approximately 78% nitrogen and 0.04% carbon dioxide. That means that separating pure nitrogen from the atmosphere is relatively simple while separating pure CO2 is more complex and energy intensive. The additional complexity and energy requirements are such that it may be worthwhile developing ways to use ammonia as a fuel, as in this work, even though methane is more well established.

Absolutely agree again. But you still haven’t addressed my core argument: that climate change is an affront on the public’s ability to view art. Like I said: “what’s the point of art if you don’t have a habitable environment to view it in?” Hell, I’ve been saying this next one since 2013: “what’s the point of WAR if there’s no habitable environment to conduct it in or claim victory over afterward?”

> every wifi ONVIF camera

I haven't tried a lot of wifi cameras, but I'm not surprised you're having trouble, particularly with multiple simultaneous streams talking directly to the camera.

* Wired should be much more successful. To be clear, wired cameras still have crap firmware [1] but you should be able to get a stable stream.

* If the camera must be wireless, try using an RTSP proxy server so that there's only one direct client. The proxy server can multiplex so you can have several things connecting to it, and ideally they go over the wired LAN. Even if they don't, the wifi hardware/software on anything that isn't a cheap camera is probably a lot more stable. Also, the RTSP implementation is probably a lot better at handling mixed network conditions. I've noticed several cameras' RTSP/TCP support (aka RTP over RTSP interleaved channels) will truncate RTSP data messages when the TCP send buffer fills, throwing off the framing. Nothing good happens after that. And UDP has its own problems (single lost packet => seconds of video questionable/useless, but still sent, and there's no real congestion handling unless they've done a miracle in application code with infrequent RTCP reports). Edit: also, some cameras have a particular bug [2] in which they will continue sending RTP-over-TCP data to a file descriptor after it's closed. The file descriptor is often reused while this is still happening, which causes all sorts of problems, not the least being sending sensitive data over an unauthenticated channel.

[1] In particular, I have very low expectations for their security. Poor software quality, backdoors. Firewall them so nothing can connect to them other than your proxy server / NVR and so that they can't connect out either.

One could possibly apply the VPN label because you go through layers of connections on a private network to go back onto the internet. I did a cursory search of the TOR website and can't find anything labeling it a VPN. But that is one of the big projects that kinda started all of this.

In fact, TOR describes an overlay network, and that's how projects like Nebula also describe their functionality. Granted, Nebula is more like a VPN than "VPN providers" also.

"VPN providers" provide a service for accessing the public internet as proxies, tunnels, etc, for evading region blocks, getting around privacy destroying things, and all that stuff. I won't knock their value. I've use them when needing internet over an open WIFI access point. I'm generally not involved in activist activities nor otherwise in harms way, so I don't have much else use of them.

But I do have use of a virtual private network. As in the core idea of it. I have a private network at home. It's not publicly available. I use Tailscale, currently, to access it when not connected directly to my home network (as in, not at home). My portable device becomes a member of a private network that has access to my private home network. This is a VPN.

I really think VPN was (incorrectly) chosen for secured proxy services because it's a simple and familiar name. The marketing using the terms "virtual private network" came far later to describe a way to secure your privacy. But it's diluted the actual technical term.
But it's not JSON or HTML. And it's not meant for browsers. It's clearly a dataset as a text file and not meant as "web(page) content". What's nonsense about that when it's completely accurate?
