Given how few of us Firefox users there are out there, I'm sadly not surprised.
I have seen this exact sentiment way too many times. The details of the accident don’t matter. It could be the fire department needing to get by to rescue an old lady’s cat from a tree. Yes, there is irony a human hit someone with a car. No, it is not material to the actual issue at hand.

The real problem is that tech companies are moving faster than infrastructure and governance can keep up. This is a mark of hubris that, if unchecked, will ultimately result in self-inflicted knee jerk regulations that have the potential to all but cripple to the self-driving car industry.

I don’t agree that self-driving cars need to be regulated into the ground because of little mishaps like this. It doesn’t upset me much that there was a mistake. But what is significantly more distressing is the general impression that these companies don’t give a fuck about taking responsibility for this. I don’t think it is unreasonable at all to say “you fucked this up, your fleet is grounded until our investigation is over and you can prove safeguards have been put into place to prevent this from happening again”.

To the above point about treating this like plane crashes etc, the NTSB doesn’t skip out on analysis because of the actual impact, it considers what is the possible impacts of something going wrong. So if your jet engine blows up mid flight but you still manage to safely land, they treat that with the same due process as if it killed a plane full of people. The same applies to these self-driving car companies, and why it’s such s ridiculous distraction to even bring up what business the ambulance had to why. It doesn’t matter. These cars need to yield. And until they can they need to be immediately pulled from the roads.
Thanks for sharing your experience.

It's a stupid argument because PRC unemployment is 5%, meaning youth get jobs eventually. There's just mismatch between jobs they want/think they deserve but they still eventually work. In mean time, high home ownership rate, high % of kids live at home, low student debt means youth can just chill / fuck around / be unemployed for a bit to explore options.

In terms of attrition, at PRC scale, even with shit TFR generate way too many bodies to burn for modern war, hence arguments that demographic crisis would eat away at PRC war making potential even more retarded. And most of the wars on PRC horizon are air/naval, requires very technical personel that are expensive to train. Which is why PLA modernization had dramatic personal reductions over the last few years. This piece is extra stupid because is it assumes increase in defense spending, which btw is still modest ~2%, is correlated to increased personel, when most of the money is going into hardware/acquisitions. A country with actual serious security delimma would spend much higher % of GDP on defense. PRC in the 80s was spending over 6%, or US/USSR during cold war was 6-10% for US, and 10-20% for USSR.
By that metric, the vast majority of non-checkmark comments are also garbage.

You could make the same argument for blocking people without checkmarks. With the checkmarked people also blocked, there's nobody left.
The short answer is "no".

Carbon offset schemes that involve planting trees or, even worse, not chopping down trees, are notorious for the additionality problem. Much of the time, the payments are made to plant trees that would have been planted anyway.

The second problem that these schemes have is accurate measurement. This is particularly the case for "soil carbon" rather than forestry, but it's still true for forestry. All the incentives are to overestimate the amount of CO2 sequestered.

The third problem these schemes have is permanence on geological timescales. Let's say you buy land to regrow rainforest in a developing country. Then there's a coup and the new government decides that a quick buck flogging off the timber is more important than contracts signed under the old legal system?

The 220k is the value of the mortgage and not the original purchase price; there was most likely a downpayment at time of purchase. Or, they recently renewed their mortgage and the remaining amount owing is 220k.
That is indeed the best you can do, as an individual, for carbon capture. It is also entirely useless, as the amount of carbon a tree sequesters are completely irrelevant at the scale of the problem. The largest tree in the world weighs less than 600 tonnes. That means it captured at best 2200 tons of CO2 - and that is the lifetime total, over 2200-2700 years.

That broadband map is garbage, I frequently see regions where it says there is fiber, but in reality there is none. Maybe it is some other very high percentage and not 95%, but I have spent a lot of time searching for houses and looking up specific addresses on fiber ISP websites, and they pretty much only exist in 2 cases.

One is if the housing development is ~2010 or newer, and they installed fiber in the underground utilities during initial build. The other is super old neighborhoods with overheard wires that maybe get wired up.

Otherwise, any area with underground utilities built before 2010 is very, very unlikely to have fiber to the home.

>It is a very useful metal, and if it is electricity intensive to define, I wonder if it would fit the use of excess renewable electricity.

No, absolutely not. Aluminum refining, like all industrial processes at scale, takes a long time to get going and needs to run (hence be fed electricity) continuously, not just whenever the wind feels like blowing.

While it is an excellent business opportunity for electricity that is cheap because it is renewable- and why Canada produces more refined aluminum than any other Western country thanks to its electric generation being overwhelmingly renewable for the entire time it's even had a grid- it's not something you can turn on and off whenever you want and not a good candidate to burn off excess power ("just not using as much naturally-pumped stored power" is not an "excess" of power by definition).

The downside is that you lose the original and can't refer to it anymore. If (like OP) you are writing a compiler, you may need to spit out error messages, and will want to be able to say "line X, column Y", or even just print out the original line itself.

And no, you can't re-escape your unescaped text, as you can't do so losslessly in all cases. For some, the unescaped text might not obviously need re-escaping (e.g. the original text had a unicode escape for an emoji; you'll "forget" that after you unescape it).
If I remember right, you can stop the electricity to an aluminum smelting plant. But only for a while.
It’s not really that long, but I guess it depends on how old you are (perception of passing time speeds up rapidly after 40).

If they're doing that, that seems like a move intended to prevent forwarding rather than one that's actually necessary for DKIM? Again, I don't see why DKIM isn't enough here. Like you said, replay attacks only work if you don't do DKIM properly, i.e. if you avoid signing some of the initial headers. So how about just... require them to be signed? Sign the message ID, sign the date, sign the addressees, sign the body... sign everything. If you don't, you're assumed to be risky, just like with http://. Problem solved, no?

We are sitting on a huge pile of matter, the earth. We have enough of every mineral to last us more than just 'decades'. (Remember the 'peak phosphorus' panic a few years ago?)

Your second point is the more interesting question: what are the costs of extraction? Is available supply keeping up?
It’s not a misery contest. I wouldn’t use the word either and concur it’s hateful.

This has all been discussed before but...

For the vast majority of applications, it's cheaper to not emit in the first place, or capture the emissions during whatever process releases it, than capturing from the air.

However, just the greenhouse gases that are already in the atmosphere are more than sufficient to cause unacceptable climate impacts, and it will take centuries to get back the pre-industrial climate. As such, we will almost certainly want to artificially remove CO2 from the atmosphere - go "net negative" rather than "net zero".
I can tell you from experience, they really do not care. It's not even something that crosses their minds. You can see for yourself, ask 100 non-technical people you know about stuff like ads and popups. I bet over 50% of them simply do not care. It is a technical person's bias to think they do.

Yeah, I meant figuring out how to do it so efficiently that it becomes preferable to batteries for powering cars. We talk like it is certain that battery-powered cars will win out, but I haven't seen a proof that that is how it must turns out if we learn to create nanomachines that use solar energy to suck carbon from air.
Afaik the fundamental mechanisms governing superconductivity are not known, which means any machine learning guess can only tell you which materials would be statistically likely candidates.

At least the physicists I heard talking about that problem don't see any AI inventing a superconductor directly. Maybe it can help discovering the fundamental mechanisms tho.

> At the start, cutting is much easier. But each percent is harder to cut than the last.

That isn't necessarily true. Solar panels are less than 5% of the price they were in 1990. Economies of scale reduce costs. There is a clear path to fully decarbonizing the power grid without raising energy costs using some combination of renewables and nuclear -- France has already done this. Nearly all of transportation and heating could be electrified.

You don't get into significantly higher costs until you get near the end. Biofuels would function for aviation but would raise the price if no one can come up with anything better. Cement emits CO2 and it's not currently obvious what to do about it. But if you would e.g. institute a carbon tax, it's not implausible that the market would find a more efficient alternative that isn't currently known.

It doesn't make sense to spend resources on capture until it costs less than the alternatives, and it's not implausible that it never will.

> ^^Spot on, which is why "subsidizing" renewables is vital to our country's future.

That seems like a silly conclusion. It might still be vital for your country's future to subsidise renewables, but it doesn't follow from the observation.

If China wants to spend taxpayer money to give foreigners cheaper renewables (or cheaper anything), that's nice of them, but doesn't mean anyone should imitate them.

If you have insufficient local workers for a task, and you are the US, you can always open the floodgates of (skilled) migration.

Also you don't need to subsidize renewables. That's a sore game of trying to pick winners and introducing extra bureaucracy. Instead you can hit the same policy goals simpler by taxing fossil fuels (or carbon emissions). Distribute the proceeds amongst all voters, if you want it to be revenue neutral.

With a tax, someone can react by just driving less (eg by moving closer to work) and benefiting from that choice. With a subsidy, you'd actively have to go and buy eg a subsidised electric car to benefit.

I definitely think that something is very whack about about the Japanese canned coffees. I assumed it was some chemical process to get more use out of already used grounds or some flavor additive.

Finding good coffee in Japan, particularly cold brew/dutch coffee, was hard for me. Finding it at a cafe that doesn't also allow smoking was harder.

I'm still not sure if it was my lack of skill in finding coffee/cafes that I liked or if the coffee/coffee culture was different and not as good.

I found Taiwan and Korea both had high quality and familiar coffee, at least to the US perspective. They also had very nice cafes. Vietnam does great coffee too, but Vietnam is more innovative than refined with their drinks and has a very distinct and unique coffee culture. In Vietnam cold brew was harder to find, but I didn't miss it because the other options were novel and great.
>shunting surplus energy into the forces

The thesis of article is retarded because the opposite is happening considering PLA modernization under Xi dramatically reduced military personel (~10%) to trade quantity for quality needed to man modern platforms. Is there going to be more surplus technical talent flowing into PLA due to youth unemployment? Yes, which is good considering one of the primary impediments to PLA modernization since 2010s has been LACK of technical talent. Finally redirecting relevant tertiary overproduction that would prefer to go to civilian industry to PLA is good side effect. But we're talking about growing active personel from current 2M to 2.3-2.5M of 00s-10s under most aggressive expansion, not 3-4M of 80s-90s. Even absorbing 2M youth barely dents at the youth unemployment problem, absorbing a few 100k is rounding error. Meanwhile defense as % of GDP Is still ~2%, security states where defense drives substantial portion of economy is 10%+.

As you said the only human capita redirection that makes sense is DURING WAR, but it would mostly be drafting a few million youths who don't want to work in factories to finally crank out 100,000s of drones, missiles etc, while a few 100,000s drone operators and technicians bomb remote targets in their mainland bases. The primary media diet are going to be missile/gun cams of autonomous weapons blowing up TW wedding parties or Japanese LNG terminals interspliced with footage of PLA youths in their air conditioned drone booths. Ultimately, there simply isn't enough platforms to man/crew during modern war to meaningfully attrite PRC youth/population.
Or I can just say whatever I want, as can anyone. You can only contain your own words, if you would like to "wisely abstain," then do so.
Producing synthetic fuels for internal combustion engines doesn't really makes sense for cars: electric cars are good enough.

But it might be necessary for 'green' planes, if the energy density of electric batteries does not improve enough.
Efficiency for industrial chemistry is massively dependent on the processes being continuous. The processes often don’t work, or work poorly, until you reach a stable equilibrium, which can take many hours. An enormous amount of effort is expended to ensure this in real industrial processes. Otherwise, you are just burning resources for negligible output.

The idea that we’ll do industrial chemistry with intermittent energy surpluses is unrealistic unless we are okay with yield per unit of energy being very poor relative to continuous processes.
I found the napkin math for getting green hydrogen to 1 USD per kg pretty interesting.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37155241

The primary assumption is that solar energy is going to be almost free within a decade because we will massively overprovision it to balance yearly variation.

Then you need to find a cheap industrial process which uses electricty to do something which has a positive climate impact.
