"The results suggest removing vegetarian and vegan labels from menus could help guide US consumers towards reduced consumption of animal products."

The menu items would need to be descriptive about the ingredients used for someone who is actually vegetarian or vegan to know if the ingredients used truly is or not then.

I also get that these kinds of meals are generally cooked alongside or on cooking materials that may have come into contact with meat, but I haven't found a vegan/vegetarian friend that has been sensitive to that detail (unless it explicitly states it's cooked on grills and pans that had meat on them).

Are you serious about America being the centre of thermometer recording?

Did you forget about Europe, and the measurements that also took place in the empires of Europe?

Russia also has some pretty detailed records from across the span of what was their empire.

I'm not sure about Asia, but as I said the records from victorian period are pretty good in India and nearby countrys.

I'd been interested to learn more about your statement there, as it doesn't match with my own reading.

About the shortcomings of the Wireless Emergency Alerts system, apparently cable connections to cellular towers are not buried in Hawaii and some burned and so the alert did not get through everywhere.
it might be more than that.. here in the USA I typed "Serbia News" into youtube and got only Albanian and Slovak sites.. only two months ago, I did the same and I did get TV news in Serbia.. I wanted to know more about the northern border expansion of course, from both sides.. and what I got instead is predictable and disappointing in a "free" press environment

Good suggestion. I see people already started getting naught ideas. Change is being deployed now.
That is false.

All the written texts that I have seen from the last few hundred years describe winters identical with those from when I was a child. The same is true for much more ancient texts, even ancient Latin and Greek texts, though those are more ambiguous.

There is no doubt that at least during the last two thousand years there has never been any period with temperatures as high as during the last 40 years, and during these 40 years the monotonic increase of the temperatures has been obvious, e.g. 15 years ago we still had a few weeks with snow per year, but then the weeks have become days, and then during the last few years the days have been reduced to hours.

I am living in an area with continental climate, far from the sea, which previously had large temperature differences between summer and winter. Now the average summer temperature has also increased, but that is much less obvious than the increase of the winter temperatures from below zero Celsius degrees to above zero. I assume that in areas closer to sea coasts the changes in the average temperature must be less noticeable, as they must be buffered by the water.

Besides the historical texts, the fact that during the last two thousand years there has never been such a warm climate in Europe has also been recently confirmed by the study of tree rings.
He has a point. The real question is whether it is his decision to make that this trade-off is worth it, not whether he has a cogent argument.

For me that works with shorts, maybe it’s a recent change.
It's strongly discouraged: if people drive and get badly stuck clogging the roads and exit gate, the problem will be even worse and the bulk of the people will be stuck for even longer.

"Please do NOT drive at this time. Road conditions differ based on the neighborhood. We will update you on the driving ban after this weather front has left the area.

It will hamper Exodus if we have cars stuck on roads in our camping areas, or on the Gate Road out of the city. PLEASE don’t be that person. The roads will dry. The issue is NO LONGER ruining the roads (that is the concern before we start the event), but once we are in Exodus we need the roads to be clear, and not to have vehicles blocking traffic flow."
Same in the US. Register a domain, and a few months before it expires you will get an official-looking invoice requesting payment to renew it. In small print somewhere it will disclose that it is a "solicition for services" and not an invoice. The tipoff should be that the renewal is about 10x the price of the original registration but I guess enough people are taken in that it's worth doing.

Since they send these notices by mail, there will be a disclosure in it somewhere, otherwise it would be mail fraud which is a rather serious federal crime.
It is funny, isn't it, that every single person that thought that some lives had to be sacrificed now for the greater good or something later somehow managed to exclude their own life, and that of their loved ones, out of that equation.
> And In reality all of SOHO(Greenwich village, Chelsea, Fidi etc) the interior excluding the west side and east side high way could be 90% car free with high speed mass transit to bus/electric street cars you anywhere there could work much better.

Are the high-density shops and restaurants that make those places such desirable places to be going to replenish their stock on mass transit? Or does that fall into your 10% exception?

How about vans for handicapped people? Do they also fall into the 10% exception?

What if it's just a miserably hot day in Manhattan, and you have a crying baby in a stroller and bags full of shopping, and you just want to catch a cab ride home this one time, damn it? Nobody said you had to have a baby and go shopping. Do you get a "necessity pass" then?

> just use car as a luxury instead of a necessity

Just price things accordingly and let people decide what's a luxury and what's a necessity to them. Categorical distinctions don't work very well because they're full of exceptions and ways to game the system, even without getting into the ethical question of who gets to decide what's a luxury and what isn't for everyone else.

Incidentally, common plastics (PE, PP) burn much more cleanly than these firelighters, and also charcoal. I've read about others using waste packaging made of these materials to light charcoal fires. (Don't use PS, PC, or anything chlorinated like PVC --- the emissions from burning those are far more toxic.)
That’s just insane though. People don’t care about continuity in background actors or what they look like. Many background actors will be reused in different contexts as different people.

If studios can apply their likeness to a cheaper actor, they can also apply a made up likeness to a cheaper actor. Or the likeness of a model. Or the likeness of a volunteer who thinks it’d be cool.

The only case where this applies, maybe, is for characters with speaking roles that have enough positive reception that they have negotiating power for their cost to return for future works. But that’s a tiny segment far removed from the majority of this guild. And if it’s actually sensible to do this over hiring the actor then they could probably just do this from the beginning.
Martinet is indeed the exception here, and one of the most well known voice actors ever.

But there are plenty of other examples where my post holds true. The ghosts from Luigi's Mansion 3 are voiced by Next Level Games development and marketing staff, the voice for Yoshi is Nintendo composer Kazumi Totaka, Shy Guys are voiced by Nintendo of America localisation manager Nate Bihldorff, the WarioWare cast were voiced by Treehouse (localisation) staff until WarioWare Gold, Donkey Kong 64 had Rare's staff voicing characters (like composer Grant Kirkhope as DK himself), etc.
A lot of the growth in energy actually came from local storage, not grid storage if you look at the numbers. But its true that the energy business alone is already quick big and growing very fast.

That said, people who really understand Tesla, do not think of it as an energy company. Cars are and will be the majority of Tesla revenue, profit and growth.

But its certainty good to have power infrastructure and products.

Solar as you correctly said, is not working out very well, but I think they have found the roof market to be much harder then expected.

For long-range high-capacity passenger (or cargo) travel, electric airplanes will always be a pipe dream. Battery storage capacities are too low, as well as lacking the fuel-burn-off characteristics of fuel-powered aircraft: half a long-range flight's takeoff weight is fuel, and for distances > ~3000 km, each passenger burns roughly their mass in fuel. The carbon dioxide emissions are actually greater than this as CO2 includes two oxygen atoms contributed from the atmosphere.

Mind that long-range flights are also overall more efficient,[1] as they have a longer low-fuel-burn cruise-phase, as contrasted with take-off and climb, which consume tremendous amounts of fuel.

For ranges at which electric-powered aircraft are applicable, ground-based transport (e.g., electrified, preferably high-speed rail) are even more optimal, though there are cases (e.g., inter-island travel, remote low-population regions) which might not suit those. Those tend to be outlier and marginal cases already, however.

Notes:

1. On a fuel/passenger-km or cargo-kg-km basis. Though the large overall distance makes for prodigious fuel burn regardless.

Nice find! thank you :)
I may be biased but I've visited grave sites from WWI and WWII and for some reason that seems to rule out humor around those subjects. There is something very special about standing on an immaculate war grave with thousands of little crosses in very neat rows each one of them the only evidence that someone died there to ensure that we would have our freedoms.

This is a complicated subject for me because I did not want to go into the army on account of not wanting to be someone else's pawn in wars of aggression, which NL has been on the wrong side of more than once. At the same time I absolutely recognize the requirement to defend countries against evil and I'm eternally grateful to those that made sure that we have a relatively free life here. Hard to square the two, I have always kept my balance in there by telling myself that if push came to shove I'd be more than willing to act. The Russian war on Ukraine is testing that position in complex ways.

I dont believe I or anyone else has ever suggest no accountability.

I think the cars should be ticketed, fined, even have a points system just like normal drivers.

I fail to see why that is not an option? I fail to see why we new all new regulation, all new laws when what we have can just be applied to them...
I never read papers like this so excuse my ignorance but are sentences like this the norm?

This just seems like an asinine thing to add to a technical paper. "We had to handle errors..."
> If you are in the business of carts, buy wheels.

I just don't agree with that logic. If you make your own carts, innovating your own wheels will yield cheaper costs in the long run. You have a new design and it could be something better. In conjunction you can than produce your own cart to that better design.

Sure your not a wheel business, so you don't sell your wheels as that's not your specialty but you can now provide your own wheels for your own carts.

Otherwise your vendor-locked to that manufacturer. And what then if they decide to stop selling the wheels or carts that you rely on, or increase the prices?

You don't have Amazon (Cart) selling Google's Infrastructure (Wheels).

You are living in a bubble. I don't know how large it is, but especially in non-web, non-multimedia offices, Windows is the default.

For all the criticisms of Elon Musk you could level (and there are many), this is a weird choice in that it's demonstrably wrong - he livestreamed himself driving using the newest version of FSD Beta very recently.

The link you provide below says

"When it comes to prostatectomies, urologists have found the outcomes for da Vinci robotic surgery to be much better than for laparoscopic surgery and use this method in more than 90% of these procedures [...] Robotic surgery also appears to provide clinical benefits for some, but not all, types of head and neck surgery."

It also reports negative value overall for gynecological surgeries.

The evidence you provided suggests it's better for some things and not others, which seems like the expected case.
The article says:

"We provide a reproducible, end-to-end demonstration of vector search with OpenAI embeddings using Lucene on the popular MS MARCO passage ranking test collection......This suggests that, from a simple cost-benefit analysis, there does not appear to be a compelling reason to introduce a dedicated vector store into a modern "AI stack" for search, since such applications have already received substantial investments in existing, widely deployed infrastructure."

Curious why stop there, why even use OpenAI embeddings and not use, say, LLaMA embeddings and create a truly open stack.
Signed, this is what I believe as well; I also think there are technological solutions, but technology alone won't save us this time, because of the scale of the issue. How much carbon we need to remove from the atmosphere even optimistically (it's already planned that we need to remove an astronomical amount! even for the less good projections) is frankly nuts, astronomical. Removing carbon is much, much more difficult than burning buried carbon.

I also echo the sentiment that we should both create a culture of questioning excesses, enjoying a simplified lifestyle of essentials: good health (address pollution, agriculture filled with toxic compounds, etc.), peace, arts and culture, instead of often self-destructive excesses; and that we should look at effective interventions: feeling good about it is not enough, we need actual effective change!

Some of the most effective changes you can do individually[1] is (1) reducing meat consumption significantly;[2] (2) Less air travel (3) Use alternative forms of transportation (bike, walk, public transit, live near work?).

(Of course, if you have a huge house with tons of appliances... I'm sure that's highly significant!)

I'm doing all those things personally. And as honest as I can: I think my health and wellbeing genuinely improved (I've lost weight due to better mostly-plant diet, am much more fit due to walking and public transit; I guess there's a psychological factor from knowing I'm helping too!). Public transit is the most inconvenient sometimes (other times it's far more convenient), but then I'm not absolute and take a ride faring app every now and then. Living this way isn't only possible, it's genuinely good.

Discovering places nearby to travel and connecting with local history and culture is something I also think we could do a lot more.

And by all means, be politically active on this issue! (I can't change things like energy matrix with individual habits, but I can vote well)

I'm with you dude :) Hack the planet!

Care for Environment and Don't Drive Often? Buy Gas-Powered Car, Harvard Study
There are lots and lots and lots of human drivers, and very few self driving cars.

I think it's legitimate to find it unremarkable, as an anecdata, that one of very many human drivers hit a pedestrian, then one of very few autonomous cars blocked an ambulance - something so obviously bad that even a drunken driver could avoid it.
You are quite right, we better burn more gas and coal fast to defeat Russia! /s
From the description of that article you linked:

This one has been recently lit off, as the exhaust on a fully hot pot becomes almost invisible with a mere hint of red/orange flame.

They're normally not that sooty.
I remember two things in the 80's.

People drove faster and more aggressively. That seemed to fade over 40 years but now it's back but the people doing it are reckless and stupid.

Drives in San Francisco drove fast with great awareness and competence. Now they drive fast without that.

Off by one error: Pedestrians have gotten really stupid.
If Trump wins, he will be president for lif, as will be maybe Ivanka (with the blessing of the GOP) later. That will mean the potential end of liberal democracies in the West. And yes, unless the war in Ukraine is over by then, even a potential land war in Europe, again.

And depending how that goes, who knows what China will be up to regarding Taiwan. Or Indi and Pakistan, once the stops are pulled, it will only be downhill. Or not, part of me still has hope. Not a lot, but still.
I’m all for the personal responsibility thing. In Canada if you do 50km/h over the limit they seize your car roadside, fine you $10k, suspend your license, and likely charge you criminally for dangerous driving. We also have private race tracks where you can take your Civic and put yourself into a wall at 170km/h if you so choose.

I don’t care for arguments about safety statistics or the ends justifying the means. My kids are on these streets. It’s not your autonomy test track.
Only way that realistically happens is if you bury it deep underground. Charcoal above the surface is part of the carbon cycle.
that was your literal statement, that public safety people only care about the people, and the big bad evil company only cares about their profits

so we should only ever listen to public safety people...
I do it mostly for legal purposes.
Why did it take you two years and a small fortune? It took me some reasonable number of hours over ~6 months (at the time in CA you could get your learner's permit at 15.5 and license at 16) and a couple hundred bucks for a driving instructor.
Elon was talking about Tesla car with FSD. Once Tesla does their part the car would become a valuable robotaxi capable of earning itself back in 1-2 years every year for a decade.
It's not clear from a quick read of that site how it corresponds to your characterisation of it.

Care to clarify?
No that's not at all it. 'Luxury' is not a real thing. Its a purely subjective category bad based on nothing. Tesla is already selling cars at the avg sales price of new cars.

The question that is more relevant is if they can establish themselves into the very large Pickup and SUV markets. And can they make a profitable low cost EV.
And then what should we put on our tables? And at what cost?
For Tesla solar has faded into obscurity, because they're a bit player in the solar market. But meanwhile solar has taken off in an absolutely immense way. The number of panels installed in Europe on account of Putin's empire building efforts has accelerated the energy transition quite a bit, likewise for things like heatpumps, house insulation and so on.
