There is a detail missing in your Calculation.

Global Warming Potential of Methane over a 20 year Time period is a bit more than 80 times that of CO2.
https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/understanding-global-warmin...

So, redrawing your path by your method, if we remove ALL of the Atmospheric Methane today, we would be reducing GHG concentrations by about 160ppm CO2 equivalent, which takes the overall CO2 concentrations to less than that of pre-industrial levels(280ppm), 260ppm.

This negates your conclusion that we would hardly observe ANY difference.

If we remove literally all of the Methane today, we would have solved Global warming from the perspective of concentration of Green House gases and will just have to wait and watch for the Global Temperatures to catch up (meaning they will go down).
I've never had much trouble finding compatible JAR/JAD files from legitimate sources. Usually, either your phone's model was auto detected to serve a compatible file, or you could select an appropriate version for apps that had resolution limitations.

Pirated JAR/JAD files were definitely hit and miss, but I don't think those are a great example.
No, my interpretation is that Apple either increases their fees or decreases prices for an app that is also distributed elsewhere.

I don't see a problem with that.

If a producer grants exclusive distribution rights to a seller, the typical consequence is that the seller gives the producer a greater profit share in return.

On ending those terms, the seller may rightfully reduce the profit share, in my opinion.
> The downsides are the obvious; security and privacy are better protected, malware is much harder to distribute and easier to shut down, fraud is more difficult.

Is that so? https://lifehacker.com/great-now-the-apple-app-store-has-mal...
I wonder how the apple store operates in the EU on devices that have sideloaded apps. Theres a bunch of liability apple can effectively shift to the end user everytime without question “sorry you sideloaded this app which may have given your malware, we cant help you”. It’s ridiculous i know but also seems plausible.

I did, and you conclusions are completely wrong. I updated my comment. Do you seriously think that iOS has no screen recording apps? It's a phishing attack, you can ask the user to screen record using an app-store app and send you the recording.
I've enjoyed the growth of expert blogs like this one in the last few years!

I've generally felt that traditional news falls into several traps of writing style that turn me off completely:

- an insufferable mixture of informational coverage with character profiles (e.g. I come to read about the Sahel gold rush but I am confronted with paragraphs of vibe-setting introduction as the author interviews a person of interest).

- coverage that assumes the same level of contextual knowledge for complex and distant conflicts as for recent national news.

- dull "long reads" that I just don't feel like spending a hour on.

On the other hand this piece is just informative, concise, and engaging :)

I read this comment in the voice of Johnny Rico from "Starship Troopers".
I don’t think it’s accurate to say you are conferred no ownership in the current model - this reads as typical tech binary thinking.

It’s either fully under my control or I have nothing!

For most people the ownership aspect is covered by being able to buy and sell the devices freely, and decide what apps to put on them.

They are (and before I’m accused of being patronising, I am in this group) happy with a device that is capable but more or less on rails and has the sort of security provided by third party vetting. And we don’t care at all that it’s the device vendor doing it.

I get the arguments about monopolies and the whole thing being damaging to business, which is in the end damaging to consumer choice.

But honestly “I should be able to do whatever I want at all layers of the stack on my phone” is waaaay down the priority list compared to “I want a secure device that does bank stuff, generates tokens and whatever else without me having to be vigilant like I am on an open system”.

So to me the rights argument is the red herring.

And yes, “choice” quickly becomes an avenue of exploitation for the less tech savvy.

> While it may seem logical that the king has a queen by his side, that’s not how things started out. In the Indian original, this piece was the king’s “counselor” (mantri in Sanskrit). The Arabs used wazir (“vizier,” i.e., the ruler’s minister/secretary), which was Latinized to farzia, which became the French vierge (“virgin”).

Just the other day I was wondering what a stupid name for the Queen's piece. Not at all logical. It's battlefield and not wedding/ceremony for queen to be by-his-side. Vazir is popular piece name in India as well.
You might be interested in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_amnesia, the phenomenon of native Chinese and Japanese speakers forgetting how to write. Nobody forgets how to read.

If you're interested in my abilities in Chinese:

- I have been certified HSK4, which isn't much. That was a long time ago; I haven't tried to get a higher level of certification.

- I regularly correspond with Chinese people in Mandarin.

- I can communicate orally at a rudimentary level. I have managed tasks such as renting an apartment and negotiating the purchase of an empty box from a bakery.

- Several people have expressed shock, on meeting me in person, at my inability to speak fluently. (One person went the other way, meeting me in person first, observing that I couldn't really speak Chinese, and going out of her way to write to me in English, which she wasn't really comfortable in. She seemed fairly outraged when she saw that I wrote to other Chinese people in Chinese.)

- I can read material of the kind that regularly comes up in my conversations without problems. For other material, I need a dictionary. This means that my vocabulary is a mixture of quite a bit of basic daily-use stuff, some specialized terminology that no one (including native speakers) would really be expected to know, and some gaping holes that no native speaker would have.

- I like to watch Chinese karaoke videos. I am mostly unable to understand the lyrics by ear, except for particularly simple lyrics. But I can often get a good idea of the lyrics by watching them show up (as karaoke prompts) in real time.

- I can write maybe on the order of 20-50 characters. When I corresponded in handwriting, I would have to look up how to write more than 90% of what I wanted to write.

You have the skills you use. If you need to read, then you can read. If you don't need to write, you probably can't write. Character amnesia arises for the obvious reason that reading is an important skill in Japan and China, but writing isn't and therefore many people are unable to write common words.

I have no idea what twangist is thinking, but it's certainly not connected to reality. The two possibilities I see are

(1) He is a native speaker of Chinese or Japanese, and "reading" means something very different to him than it does to a foreign speaker.

(2) He is not a native speaker of Chinese or Japanese, he's barely able to read in one of those languages, and he is not aware that he'd learn to read more effectively by reading than he can by writing.
FWIW, so inspired, I continued to write a few better prompts for all of this.

"""Explain how specific (for example Fedi and Turok's) theories of gravitons and superfluidity differ from General Relativity, the Standard Model, prevailing theories of Quantum Gravity and dark matter and/or dark energy non-uniform correction coefficients, classical fluid dynamics, and quantum chaos theory in regards to specific phenomena in the quantum foam.

Also, are is there one wave function or are there many; and are they related by operators expressible with qubit quantum computers or are qudits and qutrits necessary to sufficiently model this domain of n body gravity gravitons in a fluid field?

If graviton fields result in photons, what are the conservation symmetry relations in regards to the exchange of gravitons for photons?"""

And then (though apparently currently one must remove "must use `dask_ml.model_selection.GridSearchCV`" presumably due to current response length limits of Google Bard):

"""Design an experiment as a series of steps and Python code to test (1) whether Bernoulli's equations describe gravitons in a superfluidic field; and also (2) there is conservational symmetry in exchange of gravitons and photons. The Python code must use `dask_ml.model_selection.GridSearchCV`, must use SymPy, define constants in the `__dict__` attribute of a class, return experimental output as a `dict`, have pytest tests and Hypothesis `@given` decorator tests, and a `main(argv=sys.argv)` function with a pytest `test_main`, and use `asyncio`."""
Get it from known shops, and it is better than nothing at all.
Co2 is far from the only thing affecting temperature. The graph you're posting is clearly not a step function either. More like some kind of oscillation with an additional linear trend. Maybe the oscillation is el nino, it seems to be roughly periodic to 7 years or so, I don't know.

Edit: the bigger peaks are bang on el nino years, especially the '98 peak
That's fine, as long as they stick to the hardware warranty requirements as spelled out in the law.

If we were being very pedantic, what would you say is the test of ownership? If you buy an iPhone you can sell it or destroy it, so it meets those requirements of ownership. You can't destroy something you're renting, so you clearly aren't renting an iPhone.

How would I know if I own a device or not?

If you buy an iPhone, but don't think you own it. Why don't you think you own it? If your response is "because I can't run the software I want to on it," is that a problem with the perception of what you bought or is that a violation of the idea of ownership? If that's a violation of the idea of ownership, why?
Interesting. You say it works fine and then in the same breath you make a point to show it isn't and then choose to ignore it. What you're missing is that Safari shouldn't have that bit hard wired in.

They'll have to provide a way for edge cases like if someone moves from the US to the EU.

In General the US government will have to come up with their own version of the DMA if they or their voters deem it important.
And that amounts to 5-10%?
Rapeseed oil has alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) which can be converted into eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), but the process to convert ALA to EPA/DHA is an inefficient one where only about 5-10% of what goes in gets converted. Much of the benefits of omega 3 are found in EPA/DHA and not in ALA, though ALA may also be beneficial.

So, kind of? but not really?

> Afaik balanced plant based diet is healthy

It can be. It's just way harder to get the nutrients in the right amounts when compared to someone who is eating meat. Meat obviously has its own issues, but it's undeniable that it's an incredible source of protein that has the right composition of amino acids and has higher bioavailability in the nutrients your body needs. No one is going to accidentally eat a healthy and balanced vegan diet, you will almost certainly become deficient in B12 and potentially a lot of other essential vitamins and minerals. You'll also have issues with amino acids. Meats have a more complete profile that is easily used and absorbed by the body. Individual plant proteins may lack specific ones and the amount and quality of them is lower. Plants also can contain many different antinutrients that make it more difficult for your body to absorb nutrients. This is why plant-based protein powders are a higher quality protein source for vegans than just eating plants.
Likely because you've either disabled some of the overbearing security mechanisms at some point (smartscreen is a toggle and it's really frustrating if you're setting up a compiler toolchain) or you're running files that were produced on the local computer. If you disable all the privacy invading checkboxes during Windows setup (most don't), you partially neuter smartscreen as well.

Every browser I know uses the Mark of the Web to tell Windows that a file came from the internet. You'll have to store the file on a FAT32/exFAT drive to get rid of it. If a file comes from the internet, smart screen kicks in.

When a file is unsigned, smartscreen essentially prevents you from running the file. You can work around it, but I had to look up a tutorial myself.

If the file is signed, metadata will be extracted and submitted to Microsoft. If that fails or the exact binary hasn't been run on a certain amount of computers, smart screen will show a big scary warning
despite your $500 a year digital signing certificate. This is something developers just have to deal with every time they update their applications, but most people won't be the first x to download the executable and applications using auto updaters download updated in the background can the necessary flags to work around smartscreen.

The restrictions are there, but they're not there for (most) development environments and for most users of popular software.
I don't think you understood the author's interpretation well enough to say you disagree with it.

The problem you describe, of mapping binocular vision is an example of the topological problem described by the author. But it's not the only example: feeling nerves, for example, have the same symmetrical problem with mapping your skin sensations to the physical space, and your hearing also is "binocular" (there's actually a separate word for this, "binaural"). The visual problem you're describing is part of the topological problem. You're describing the same problem, but you're describing a part of the problem.

Where you're just wrong is on two points:

1. "When it comes to everything else, there isn't a clear benefit for having processing swapped to opposite hemispheres." Wrong. As mentioned before, binaural hearing also needs to map a 3d topology to a 2d topology from two data collection points, and skin needs to map a 3d topology from many more points (but also symmetrical). Additionally, the effect works on "outputs" as well as "inputs", mapping the 2d space to a 3d space so that you can control symmetrical tools such as your arms and legs means that the swapping is needed when sending signals outward as well.

2. "[V]isual processing benefits from it greatly, and so the rest of the nervous system goes along with it." Vision is not the evolutionary driver here. The criss-crossed neurology predates the existence of vision in our evolutionary heritage. The article mentions worms, for example: how does your hypothesis explain why their nerves crossed hemispherically given they don't have lenses and retinas?
I'm not following. So we have to keep to the locked app store-only model because if we allowed sideloading....people could jailbreak their devices and apps could extract secrets? I don't follow.

>>that'll just create a market for pre-jailbroken devices.

I don't understand - people will get pre-jailbroken devices so they can be hacked easier? The whole idea with forcing apple to allow sideloading is that you can be on the very latest, most secure iOS version and sideload apps.
> I'm also pretty confident that if apple and their services disappeared tomorrow, my iphone would keep on working just like it does today. Sure, no more updates, no more new apps, it would be frozen in the state it's in.

I think you're underestimating how much of the iPhone's functionality depends on Apple's servers being available beyond just installing & updating apps: Think push notifications, backups, iCloud, iMessage, no more Safari updates (shiver), …
Oh god that first one… It’s really nice in podcast form on the way to work or in the bathtub, absolutely terrible to keep my attention when trying to understand news in readable form, and always suspect of being mere anecdata and generally wrong.

I agree. Legal ownership rights do not guarantee a particular feature set. For example your ownership of a car does not entail a right to easily install whatever software you want on all the CPUs in it.

But I don’t think it’s right to call this binary thinking. It’s just incorrect thinking.

Spending the extra money from increased fuel and vehicle sales taxes on public transport would be great for city dwellers in general.

Reduced minimum cost of living for the poor, less traffic for those who drive for a living or have no choice or are willing to pay for luxury.

Rural poor would struggle, they'd need support through another means.

I don't like the idea of extra tax complexity when it could just be an adjustment to headline rates though. Too much admin and potential for benefits cliffs.

for a long time meaning until they were not personal computers?

of course I can't install any other software on a CAT scanner, that's the equivalent of what computers were at the beginning, they were single purpose machines, but they could be programmed by the owners almost immediately after being invented.

The computer industry started with microcomputers in the 70s, by the mid of the decade they were cheap enough that individuals could own them and write software for them.

But starting from the 60s students had the chance of sitting at a computer station and programming them to do whatever they wanted them to do, according to their at the time limited possibilities.
Not used routinely, but it is possible to shadow the BASIC ROM on the Amstrad CPC 464 (1984). That ROM is normally located at C000h, shared with bank-switched RAM storing the display at the same address. You could copy the ROM to the RAM and permanently switch in the RAM. (You had to do another trick to move the display RAM elsewhere too, but it was all possible by writing to the correct gate array registers[1])

Which allowed you to do stuff like modifying the error messages in BASIC to say rude words, not that we would have ever done that.

It's the Council that takes most of the decisions, and it's made up of the leaders of the national governments. They don't want it to be different, as that would mean giving up national power. The Commission is rather toothless in comparison, they can only carry out existing policy.
But if you don't get your well-funded company to pony up for these SaaSes, highly paid dev positions at companies like these are going to dwindle, reducing labour market demand, and dev wages will fall!

Google is able to use Play Protect in similar ways as Windows Defender, and the system can prevent malicious apps from installing or running based on signatures, profiling, certificates, etc. Just as iOS uses code signing and signatures to decide if an app was installed via the App Store, Android can do something similar, and more, to prevent malware from running.

> Right, but for Apple to take down those apps, it's much easier than taking down some random link the fraudsters put up.

Seems like the issue here is that the government has to tell iOS users not to install specific apps because Apple hasn't taken them down. I'm sure it's easy for Apple to do what it wants on the App Store, the issue is making them care. They have a history of letting multimillion dollar scams flourish on the App Store[1].

The problem is that EU law requires Apple to not restrict sideloading for selected apps. It doesn't matter if they pay or don't pay Apple. You have to be able to sideload them.
