I'm not sure that explanation is plausible.

Canada's housing stats show a drop in total investments in building construction, and a drop in housing starts.

If supply was catching up with demand to ride that gravy train, we would see in the very least an increase in investments. Why would anyone refuse to invest in a venture that's handing out free money?

Also, labour costs don't account for more than 30% of the build cost, which is far below the current real estate prices. Even if they doubled salaries of construction workers, selling apartments in today's market would still be very profitable.
I definitely think his movies with Doyle are worth watching, but without . . . he just seems lost. Chungking Express, Fallen Angels etc. through to 2046, are cinematographic first with anything else a very distant lower priority.

What seems so unusual is the reverse is also true. Doyle without Wong Kar-wai is not the same.

> > Not everything, just things that can kill hundreds to thousands of people if they go wrong

The original Al Quaeda plan for the WTC was to detonate explosives to tear it down, they tried in the 90s but of course they were so inept that they just made a huge mess in the parking lot.

However let's say they succeded. Do you think we'd have checkpoints looking for explosives (or even components to make explosives) while entering Manhattan and all the 1000 odd major global cities which exceed 1M population?

There is a thing with flight. Planes look so big and so gross and like they should not be able to fly and so people are scared of them, fear of flight is one of the most common fear.

In the post 9/11 world add to that being under a plane, in the proximity of a plane or in a builing from which a plane can be seen.

None of this stuff happens with trains and they too can kill thousands.
Is Ubuntu Linux spying on you?

It has in the past but I would be somewhat surprised if they did not learn from the blow-back unless they have entirely new leadership.

One small suggestion, instead of creating a systemd unit file on the host your are monitoring I would suggest doing your captures on your router and also force all DNS through that router using the nat table to capture 53, 853 and blackhole all the commonly used DoH/DoT servers. Despite theories suggested on here in the past none of the common DoH servers use shared CDN IP's. After blocking those IP's then reboot the host to clear application DNS cache.

Boot up all the mainstream distributions to see which ones are being chatty. Another one that may be fun to play around with is the latest Fedora beta. No [Spoilers]. Have fun with it, don't just use tcpdump. Instead give bogon IP's for some of the names you see being requested after rebooting the VM and watch what breaks then add that to your blog. Some apps may have hard coded IP's to fall back on like Windows has done since at least XP. QubesOS is one good way to try each of them out including their beta versions and release candidates. The testing should be after a clean installation from the ISO and then again after a OS update and reboot otherwise it could be applications you installed creating red herrings. The reason for testing after ISO and then again after OS update is to see if someone changed their minds about telemetry or to see if people are playing cat-and-mouse when people document findings.

> Longer term the same processes that turned algae and other life forms into oil are still happening

This is unfortunately not true.

The vast majority of our fossil fuels are formed from carbon that was sequestered into cellulose in plants, before anything had evolved the ability to digest cellulose. It piled up, and eventually compressed into coal. Look up the ʾCarboniferous Period" for more details.

These reserves are no longer being formed because we have fungi that break down these materials and return the CO2 to the air.

Planet Earth will never again have oil and coal reserves of the size it did 200 years ago.

I think the fact that they're being developed at all speaks volumes about FLOCS developer's lack of scruples provided FAANGs continue to shovel fistfuls of cash in their pockets.
I do like that they're funding actual carbon sequestration. Obviously this isn't a lot, it's something like 1000 business class flights saved (I'm sure MS buys at least that many every day). Still, funding technology like this early can have an outsized effect.
Probably one of the more viable options because just about anything worth playing in the last 10+ years doesn't have LAN support.

Google is slowly moving to reject mail that doesn't pass DMARC no matter the domain settings; it sounds like they are currently rejecting a percentage of messages that fail DMARC.

https://support.google.com/mail/answer/81126

The issue mentioned in the paper related to SPF is due to adding third parties to the SPF record who then allow spoofing (see table 3 at the top of page 9 in the paper for a summary of the four issues they describe). Hopefully, those third parties will fix that and more mail admins will be aware of the potential negative effects of adding a third party to SPF. It doesn't seem like SPF causes much trouble and if it was possible for DMARC to specify that both SPF and DKIM must validate then that would help in the case of issues with the DKIM signature cryptography. DKIM has a replay issue, although that is not as bad if the to and date fields are signed.

Basically all the coal we have burnt was at one point peat bogs. They seem to have been a great success at sequestering carbon for us to eventually release. We've done so, proving your point, but it took a while.
The best way to sequester carbon is to leave it in the god damn ground.

Please go google climate town talking about clean coal. Carbon capture is a scam.

Some people with good jobs have that. The huge majority of Americans don’t, and average out of pocket healthcare costs are around $1600 yearly per person.

Before I moved to Canada I never had a company that covered all my deductibles and only one that covered my entire premium. That kind of benefit is extremely rare. It is truly a privilege of the rich to not have to think about the cost of health care in America.

Meanwhile in Canada I can go to any doctor in the province and know that I will never see a bill, and never be told that my insurance won’t cover the cost, and never have to argue on the phone about whether a procedure ordered by a doctor was necessary. It doesn’t matter if I am employed by Facebook, unemployed, or taking a few months of paternity leave.

One of the biggest differences is that oil is all _primarily_ the same stuff and the difficulty is pulling out impurities. This means it can be quite cost effective to ship it where it needs to go to be processed. Crude oil is considered sour for example if it contains 1-2% sulfur.
Ores on the other hand are usually mostly not the actual mineral you're looking for, and you're lucky if you're hitting double digit percentage concentrations, Lithium being "high concentration" if you're reaching 6%. This means that you ideally need to be doing most of (and usually all) of the processing at or very near the mine. One of the only minerals we regularly ship raw ore of is iron, since it tends to be in relatively high concentrations. Some Lithium mines might ship some ore but this is usually only done as an initial source of revenue while the processing is being built.

The end result of this is that it's harder to take advantage of economies of scale where you can have a handful of processing facilities working on a very specific type of ore.

I don't suppose a mathematical Platonist would limit the possibilities to conceivable universes, as they suppose the math exists regardless.
The first thing to understand is that money at this stage is mostly investment: the goal is to develop the technology and try to scale it up, not to just offset the carbon in the short term (in much the same way as investment in solar was not just to generate electricity but to enable economies of scale to actually get it to be a serious contender for replacing fossil fuels).

Why is such technology important to invest in? Two main reasons: firstly it could very well be the most economical means to make certain carbon-emitting processes carbon neutral, for cases where there is not currently a good means to eliminate the carbon emissions. Think aircraft emissions, for example. Secondly, even if we completely eliminate net carbon emissions, global warming will still continue for a fair few decades, as the climate takes a long time to actually reach equilibrium. If we want to avoid that equilibrium being too hot, we will need to remove carbon from the atmosphere. And while planting trees is generally a good thing, it's not really a feasible way to actually remove enough carbon from the atmosphere to make much of a dent (only growing new forests generally removes much carbon: mature forests are mostly carbon neutral, and the carbon capture process is slow). Technology like this, if it can be scaled and use renewable energy, has a chance of being able to make this difference (though the biggest question, apart from whether the technology can actually work, is who will pay for such removal, if it's not for carbon credits).
