Unfortunately that is a wrong impression. Electricitymaps is correct regarding Germany's CO2 emissions.

It has nothing to do with the country's population and industry size, because these figures are the CO2 emitted per kWh of electricity.

The problem is simple : Germany chose to shut down nuclear power and to invest massively in renewables (€500B in wind and solar)
Wind and solar are of course intermittent and, because you can't store electricity at scale, you cannot run a country's electricity grid on these alone, especially a country with heavy 24/7 industry. That is the central lie of the German Energiewende.

In reality you always need some more stable energy sources to handle the "base load", they can be :
- Hydroelectricity (if you have the right geography)
- Coal
- Gas
- Nuclear

Of these four, only hydro and nuclear are low CO2.
You can see on Electricitymaps that some countries like Norway are doing great because they have Hydro for their base load. Germany doesn't have the geography for that, unfortunately.

The only low CO2 choice remaining for German base load is nuclear, but we know what happened to that...

There was a focus on (mainly Russian) gas, which is slightly better than coal, but Putin is using this as a geopolitical weapon now.

So that leaves you with coal, and there are two big problems with that :

1. Coal emits SO much more CO2 per kWh than renewables or nuclear that it completely destroys Germany's average CO2 emissions score. With coal in the mix, you would need not 50% but maybe 90% of renewable electricity to compensate for the insane emissions of the small % of coal. Unfortunately as I mentioned, 90% of renewable electricity isn't possible because of intermittence. Which means Germany won't ever solve this problem unless A. a breakthrough in energy storage is discovered (good luck) or B. it restarts its nuclear power plants and builds new ones.
That is the embarrassing reason why many German politicians would rather talk about the % of renewables in the mix (which is completely meaningless for climate), rather than the CO2/kWh figure (the only thing that counts for climate) where Germany is doing so badly (on average 6-7 times worse than France)

2. Air pollution from coal power plants causes over 10.000 premature deaths in Europe every year
Most of the coal plants in the European top 10 are located in Germany.
Imagine the reaction if a neighbouring country operated another source of energy (say, nuclear) that caused 10.000 deaths / year in the region ? Fukushima was one (1) direct death by radiation, btw (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_Daiichi_nuclear_disa...)

It's great news that apparently, 60% of Germans are now in favour of nuclear power. I hope that the generation of 1970s Die Grüne activists that caused these disastrous energy policies in Germany are voted out of power asap.
It’s in principle possible to detect if a model has been trained on private data, e.g. if it can recite random data such as UUIDs that are not public. So if OpenAI were to break that promise, someone would notice and make it public. This is enough of a disincentive that I trust OpenAI will not do it.
There would be a step anyway between the user selecting even a regular binary executable (via pressing enter after writing its name on the shell, by double-clicking on it in a desktop file manager, by running a shell script which on some line invokes it, etc) and it starting to execute (the shell or GUI would have to interpret the action and tell the OS to execute the binary).

So adding an intermediary to do a choice of executor and/or handover in between (whereas at the shell/file-manager level, or at the OS call level), but still before execution, is quite easy.

And in the century that followed 1900, history's first two world wars occured.

If anything, interdependence creates more destructive wars because countries group themselves into (global) blocs who now go to war.
Single processors interleave threads using very coarse "quantums" of execution, where each thread runs for many milliseconds at a time. Dual processors will run the instruction streams truly in parallel.

From a correctness perspective, they're "identical", because even on a single core a context switch can occur anywhere. In theory, even one core can interleave individual instructions, it's just not done for performance reasons.

So if multiple cores causes a crash, then that crash bug was always there, and could have occurred even on a single core. It's just much less likely to be triggered.

Thankfully now every mainstream computer and practically all phones are multi-core, so software has to be written properly. The early 2000s were a mess though, with a lot of heisenbugs that were maddening to track down.
In the case of the alarms they were trading off the alarms potentially saving lives vs the alarms potentially costing lives. It was a tough call.

In the case of the water they were trading off the water potentially saving lives vs the water being available to grow taro. It was not a tough call and the dude got it wrong.

Hey, haven't looked at it yet, but what does this have over streamlit-folium, which can also do OSM?
That page also specifically calls out wildfires as one of the uses of the sirens. I agree it wasn’t a clear decision, but still a mistake not to use them.

The all-hazard siren system can be used for a variety of both natural and human-caused events; including tsunamis, hurricanes, dam breaches, flooding, wildfires, volcanic eruptions, terrorist threats, hazardous material incidents, and more.
There has been quite a lot of reporting on the origins of the iPhone since then, and from that work it is clear that they really did not intend to allow native apps on the phone. They had to reassign resources to make it happen in a hurry once they changed their mind, which resulted in shrinking and delaying that year’s OS X release.
Infinisil has over 600 commits in the Nixpkgs repo alone, and is also active in other codebases in the ecosystem.

This comment on Discourse has a lot of likes in part because people in the community recognize his username from his contributions even if they haven't worked with him.

He's not some random passerby throwing out an opinion about a project he has no stake in. He's a longtime, highly active contributor in the Nix ecosystem who cares about projects he's involved in and other efforts related to them.

You don't have to agree with his take but this is disrespectful and lame.
That's awful. I assume you didn't remove yourself from the class action, because you didn't have or want to invest the time and resources into suing them yourself? $625 is a laughable amount of money for the amount of bullshit they put you through.
What does Apple get from not making their laptops the most performant portable gaming machines out there?

Ok, so don't use that specific siren.

What about all the other emergency communication systems that exist?

We get Amber and Silver alerts directly on our cell phones. Heck, I've received "poor air quality" alerts even. There's also the classic emergency frequency stuff for radio/tv.

Why were none of those mechanisms used? Or were they, and they're just not being reported on?
Ok, I misunderstood, this is quite different
Section 8.2 seems to talk about how you send plaintext email via SMTP to users who aren't using Skiff.

But that's not what I'm talking about with respect to end-to-end encryption. The white paper refers repeatedly to "browser" users. Your server can feed arbitrary Javascript to browsers and subvert encryption in a variety of ways, can't it?

I'm still not clear why you designed a new, simplistic cryptosystem at all here; can't you do everything you're trying to do here on top of Matrix? Again: the cryptography promises you're making only work between users of your system.
>I wonder if support for OpenGL, Vulkan, etc will improve now that Apple is partnering with nVidia, Adobe, Autodesk, Microsoft, etc around the OpenUSD rendering/animation/CAD/3D-scene format?

I'd say it's totally orthogonal matter (having a standard 3D scene format, and what graphics api will render it), and Apple's participation on that will be minimal anyway.

>I would be surprised if Apple doesn't use it as a means to cement more 3D software vendors into macOS land. It's really hard to render consistently if the underlying drivers are all wonk and proprietary.

There's an easy fix though Apple can suggest: just use the official macOS engine.

Why would the even opt for (1)? To burden themselves with supporting different 3D engines? They already support and maintain their own.
China won't stop at anything to have a semiconductor industry that's not dependent on Western powers.

Why won't the US?

I truly become the time for decoupling from China has come. It will require a massive economic cost. China's economy will suffer greatly and many millions will be prevented from overcoming poverty.

And, it's worth it. It's absolutely necessary to ensure our country's security. We just can't depend on an adversary for critical goods.
No that's not what I mean, ha, I am aware of that. (Though it was never much of a thing in my non-US country, fwiw.) I meant having a phone number there struck me as unusual (for this sort of company/organisation).

It's actually a pretty common line of thought that Turing machines, Lambda Calculus and/or Neural Networks give general insights into human thought/ consciousness. These are three different approaches that are mathematically equivalent. (The first two come from philosophy of mathematics, and the third is inspired on the field of biology, to wit neurophysiology. )

Lambda Calculus is associated with the first AI spring, and Neural Nets are of course associated with the current AI spring.

theoretically this is a job for branded zones too, BSD actually solved this problem better a long time ago! just write a shim that hooks whatever linux layer to the kernel layer.

smartOS and proxmox both fill that niche for "hyperv, but it's application containers" niche perfectly. Or full VMs if you want too!

but for both the "making docker work with BSD" and "making BSD work with docker" approaches, the question is how much time a company will spend on an alternative, upstart tech for something as foundational as their container deployments, without a really compelling reason. the answer is likely "zero" and justifiably so. it doesn't matter that you can run a linux vm, it won't matter that zones work with docker or that docker can use OCI. nobody wants to discover a whole new set of bugs and footguns with a niche technology stack.

netflix really ran with it, but even they did not put application servers/containers on BSD, they just used it as a NAS store. which is fine, and that's something that can be encapsulated without letting BSD escape into the rest of your ecosystem. but even though the linux ecosystem is in a state of constant meltdown and rebirth, it's at least the enemy you know.

I wonder if that will change now that redhat has slammed the door on non-commercial users. like where do you even go after that? ubuntu is clownshoes (and the snapd stuff has offended a lot of users). Debian I guess, or OpenSUSE. But SUSE is quite niche as well. Debian is probably the "sufficiently boring" answer, but freebsd could be a good alternative too if places gave it a chance.

as I said it's very impressive how boring freebsd is. Most likely the thing you are trying to do will be either building/loading some module in /etc/rc.conf, or editing some config file in /etc/, or copying some template from /usr/local. And you just do it, there's no surprises, and you move on.
So what's the major version bump about? The "World Wine News" wasn't particularly useful.
The sirens are only along the coast. Not mountain side.
@sogen put it pretty well below, but I'm not so familiar with arrested development. His typecast character in most roles though is one who's always draining his personal life in hopes that one day he'll become partner of the lawfirm or be chosen by the woman who only thinks of him as a friend, but usually ends up being passed over for someone else, and divorced in the process.
Though it's not perfectly analogous, and at-best a fanciful exaggeration, to me it exemplifies this hopeful idea of "if I try super hard at whatever I'm assigned—more than I'm asked—I'll eventually be rewarded", but it's not a calculated risk if you don't control the outcome of that stress and you're robbing yourself of your own time and energy, the company just accepts it. It might pay off, and it might be due to the merits of the work you've done, but the value you're adding should be very clear, and it should definitely end up in your pocket. There's no worse feeling that putting in those extra hours, stressing yourself off, and then arbitrarily being laid off when times are a bit tougher. Even if you're in a management position, or maybe especially so, you should be paid sufficiently for devoting time outside your regular hours to deal with the bullshit of that job, ideally in clearly defined terms.
Sure.

If the workplace allows for it then that's how it is, though I think it's a bad idea to go out and talk about it. I think this person feels pretty proud about his slacking off, which I'm not saying it isn't an accomplishment... but you're better off keeping it a secret.
I believe there is more going on than meets the eye here.

the biggest issue for me in situations like this is having to change my routine, so i can totally feel the unease of not having a working phone like you used to. things that you did automatically (like getting notified of emails) you now have to make an extra effort to check. but you can find a new routine, and eventually get used to it.
That page also says:

I must admit: I'm not a huge fan of structured logging, beyond simple use cases like tagging messages by the thread that produced them. If you want something machine-readable, use a dedicated metrics system, analytics database, or document store. If you want something human-readable, structured logging will only make things worse.

I am from India and the credit bureau world here is Kafkaesque.

Even to get the attention of a credit bureau you’ve to be their paid customer. A new loan in your name which didn’t even turn up in your dream? They helpfully tell you to contact the org that issued the loan. A card that’s not yours? Nope, not your problem. You can’t even tell them to delete your data altogether even if you’re fine working zero credit history.

Even to get your own data that they got without your informed consent you’ve pay!

There seem to be no venue! And suddenly one day I realise there’s yet another credit bureau and they have all my data! Amazing!

Their infra even feels so sketchy that you kinda know it can be hacked the moment someone tries.

As for freezing as some suggest, unfreezing is even worse. Besides it just doesn’t protect in case of data breach in any shape or form.

This is one field where I hope government regulates deep and hard into their collective bottom.
I think there is something to the fact that drawing the diagram in front of someone - the performance of drawing - communicates something in itself. The way you place boxes initially to set out spatial relationships. The direction in which you draw the arrows. The speed at which you draw them - clearly and deliberately, or swiftly and as an aside. The things you drew and then had to erase and redraw bigger. The way you're able to augment the diagram as you go to elaborate on or clarify your audience's points of confusion. All of that is part of what you're communicating when you draw a diagram in front of someone.

None of that is part of what you capture in a static diagram in an architecture document.

That's one reason why I suspect that the diagrams in documentation shouldn't necessarily look like the ones you draw in a collaborative session.

Unless the sirens can produce different sounds that are easily distinguishable, then you can't have one alarm with two meanings when the meanings are absolutely not the same. If you hear the siren, how do you know if you need to pack your things to get out of the way of a fire or to seek higher ground from a tsunami where both of them might not be visible to you at the time of the siren?

Unless the response to the siren is the exact same thing, you can't use the siren for more than one thing.

>The principal problem was that a huge proportion of Flash applications, games, and websites used mouseovers as crucial methods of interactions, and Apple simply had no way to allow users to mouseover an element on a touchscreen.

It's more about control and all the other reasons.

Mousovers is a dead herring. They could still give Flash not to run existing stuff, but new apps, that would take iOS into account.

And legacy flash movies and animations and games that just needed click and not mousovers would still work. To be frank, mouseover interaction weren't really that big in many (most?) Flash games anyway.
> Most of the early Christian texts were suppressed and destroyed. In the 1940s some ancient texts that had been buried for nearly 2000 years were found in Egypt and not realizing their value, a family member used many of them for kindling.

But they didn't do that because they were trying to destroy heretical thought. They did it because they didn't realize what they had, they were poor, and needed kindling to stay warm or cook food. That's an important difference. Many ancient texts have been lost this way not out of malice, but just because that's what happens throughout the ages.

Note this is a general thing in the media: after any event, attempt to find the proximal cause and concentrate the blame there (often using the "evil corporation narrative"). Some articles are slightly better in that they attempt to identify root causes and advocate for policy changes to address them.
