"Just" find "better fuels" than extremely energy-dense fossil fuels that, when you remove externalities from the equation, are already near a local maximum. D'oh! It's so forehead-slappingly easy! We should just do that!

What you're really saying--whether or not you know it, and I don't know if ignorance or knowledge is worse here--is that we should "just" come back to this in twenty or thirty or a hundred years and in the meantime now we have created a silver-platter excuse to do nothing and continue the outlandishly negative global consequences on everyone for a hypothetical future that you can neither predict nor roadmap.

Here's another one: once energy storage is solved as you posit, maybe then cruise lines should exist. If people want them. Until then, they should be priced with their externalities in and if that kills them (it probably will!) then they failed capitalism, gg no re.
I'm assuming that this will get to the front page.

Yeah, I'd much rather live in a walkable place with unpolluted air with a ton of ugly buildings, than a place with gorgeous buildings that needs ugly, polluting vehicles to get everywhere.
This. Do not try and do the problems from scratch. All you will end up doing is frustrating yourself for hours and taking far longer to get through the material than you need to. You wouldn't do this in any other field e.g you wouldn't jump into a Linear Algebra textbook with no prior experience and expect to be able to solve all of the problems without first reading the chapters. Don't expect to be able to do that with coding interview patterns either. I'd recommend NeetCode but there's also Algomonster as well.

Speaking as a former theoretical high energy physicist who has studied string theory and other BSM theories (including “extra dimensions”) quite extensively and black hole information theory to a reasonable extent, the higher dimensions talked about in any close-to-mainstream physics really has nothing to do with sci-fi “inter-dimensional travel”.

It’s quite amusing to read the sentence “Seems easier to live in a higher dimension than to break the speed of light”. The latter is well established, very precise physics, the former is a very vague, so far fictional concept with little to do with our current understanding of physics (and actually very much goes against it), yet somehow one is “easier” than another.

Of course we can’t rule anything out, including “extra dimensions” in some scifi-esque sense that’s not currently understood, but these two don’t belong in the same sentence.

(Btw, I enjoy sci-fi about traveling between alternate universes.)

Look, I have no stake in this. I don't really care what you do. But if only for your own personal development, you should recognize what you're doing here in this conversation.

Can IP geolocation be used for positive things? Yes. We agree on that.

But it can also be used for things that can reasonably be seen as creepy and/or bad. Hopefully you can agree on that.

If you're going to sell your services to all comers, then you are going to be supporting and profiting from both good and bad things. And rather than spewing paragraphs about the good bits when somebody points out the bad bits, you should own what you're doing.

Think of it like selling guns. Are there legitimate defensive uses for them? Sure, ask anybody in Ukraine. But if a gun deal just focuses on how they "enjoy talking with people and helping them with the technical [...] aspects" while being "happy to assist "any business, organization, or person" to buy a gun, then they end up morally responsible for all the other uses guns have, too.

https://httptoolkit.com/blog/frida-certificate-pinning/ has a detailed blog on it. Frida receives updates all the time, so the exact commands and scripts don't always work with the latest version, but you can start there.

As a concept, Frida works by running a gadget on the phone (as root, or as part of an app) and a client on another device (or the same device, I suppose, if you're using a terminal emulator on Android).

To install the gadget, you either download the right binary and execute it on the phone as root, or use a tool like https://github.com/ksg97031/frida-gadget to inject the gadget into an APK.

Then, use Frida (https://frida.re/docs/Android) to connect to the gadget and load any script you want. There are a bunch of scripts that can be used to patch out certificate validation, or to exclusively use a certificate authority of your choice, or you can write your own.

You can download scripts and run them directly, or you can run Frida with a command line flag to open up a remote debugging port; you can connect to that port from the Chrome dev tools and get an interactive code execution prompt. From there, you can patch out Java methods, load native binaries, patch memory, whatever you want. It's a really powerful tool for debugging and reversing applications you don't have the source for.
If inverse vaccines work, they will end the most lucrative drugs in the history of medicine.

Humira the OG biologic treatment for autoimmune conditions costs $5,000/month. There has been a gold rush by pharmaceutical companies to create humira-like drugs or new monoclonal antibodies. Enbrel, Simponi, Taltz, Rinvoq and on. They all cost thousands of dollars per month and must be taken for life.

Immune suppresant biologics has been one of the biggest profit growth areas for pharma over the last 20 years. They are all chasing it. These inverse vaccines would end that.
You seem to be using an absence of evidence as evidence of absence.

There's nothing to explicitly suggest that either is the rightsholder; that is another assumption, which is directly counter to the fact that the person who wrote the code posted it alongside an MIT license.

The idea that there’s a war against Russia in another country that they invaded tells me all I need to know about how they write.
> You at least tried to explain the scenario. However, I don't believe that the volume of dirt and rock expelled by the impact is enough to engulf the entire planet.

Have you done the math, or is this based on a gut feeling?

Because the people who have done the math disagree with you. Some of the ejecta would be thrown well out of the earth's gravitational pull, the other would end up various suborbital trajectories, coming down over the next day or so across the entire surface of the earth. Their re-entry heating will be enough to turn the entire sky incandescent, and the radiative heating will essentially barbecue the entire surface of the earth. Only swimming, burrowing or cave-dwelling animals would survive.
I'm not opposed, broadly speaking I don't really support the idea of classified or secret information at all (in like a government context, I'm not going to tell you my birthday and social#)

I think DynamoDB would be the more apt comparison.
You missed satellite. So many of them are just satellites.

One of the three witnesses at the Congressional hearing was touting getting a bunch of observations from commercial pilots, and when he finally posted his first video it was... satellites. Starlink, to be precise.

Starlink is probably singlehandedly responsible for more sightings than any other source right now.

Right, and a lot of bad urban design, is "good" architecture.

---

It reminds me of what urbanist Jan Gehl calls 'birdshit architecture', which is stuff that looks good from a bird's eye view or a rendering but is totally impractical in practice. Prime examples include gigantic plazas or lawns without any sort of trees or seating, so you can't really stay in them because they're too windy and the sun is overbearing, they're totally empty (and probably unsafe) as a result, and they just extend your walking distances.

Bonus points if the paths are totally fenced in because they're not where people actually want to walk and they end up trampling the lawn full of desire paths.
If you watch lots of disaster documentaries, you'll realize that "warnings went unheeded" or even "problems were explicitly acknowledged in formal reports over several years but not actually resolved" are incredibly common fact patterns in structure collapse.

Usually structures will give some signs of impending failure, but also repair or remediation is usually very expensive and disruptive, and there are thousands of crumbling structures that require it. Only in retrospect is it obvious where we should have concentrated our limited resources.

Yeah, but (I think?) be default they make the same notification sound as everything else and don’t vibrate. I need something else to distinguish them other than appearing differently on the Lock Screen. My phone is usually in my pocket.

It would also be nice if you could snooze them.

At this point if I really want to be alerted (leave now or you miss the train, etc) I set an alarm. But you can’t really do that any sooner than the day you want to be alerted because alarms don’t have dates (technically you can sort of do it with alarms on specific days of the week).

Personally I don't get the blowback that's shown up a couple places.

Why do we so readily convince ourselves against doing the right thing, picking good technology? "Over engineering" is a huge massive bat of a word that is applied to "correct" all kinds of spirited ambition.

Fear Uncertainty & Doubt is a dangerous default mode to adapt. I do not feel that it should be such an ordeal, require such courage, to do the good & right things. Better to try & fail than risk whiling ones time on lukewarm efforts.

What is the actual danger here? What are you afraid of? Why hold your biases against another's endeavor?
The Tridentine Mass also has a homily. I like the Norvus Ordo done in a reverent manner. However, he prescripts of Vatican II were abused. Latin was supposed to be maintained generally. Music was supposed to be primarily Gregorian Chant. Communion on the hand was allowed because people were doing it and there was a desire to prevent those people being in sin while it was corrected. Instead it was allowed to spread and become entrenched. The Church needs to focus on preaching the Truth a specially the hard controversial ones of our time, an increased focus on the Sacraments (e.g. more daily Masses, especially daily Confession, moving Confirmation to before first Communion---this last one predates Vatican II), reintroducing the mystery and reverence of the Eucharist by switching back to Latin, mandating kneeling during reception of Communion and on the tongue only.
Fun repo that uses the Shamir Secret Sharing Scheme to break a file into parts which can be recombined to get the original. From the README

Who this is for:

People who need to encrypt a big sensitive file like a diary and don't expect to remember any passwords years from now (but who paradoxically will be capable of remembering where they've hidden their horcruxes)

People who want to transmit files across multiple channels to substantially reduce the ability for an attacker to intercept

FAQ

Q) This isn't really in line with how horcruxes work in the harry potter universe!
A) It's pretty close! You can't allow any one horcrux to be used to resurrect the original file (and why would you that would be useless) but you can allow two horcruxes to do it (so only off by one). Checkmate HP fans.

That is all relevant. The immense gravity of her decision to become openly, publicly intersex, and the hours of apprehension and coaching required to go through with it, is a significant aspect.

Violating how, by drawing breath in some sacred precinct?
Doc Smith would find that assertion embarrassing, I think.

The good news is that across the world, this sort of hand-flapping is being ignored. In reality, we have already begun doing the right thing. We're already averting the worst-case scenario. But that isn't a repair job. We're slowly the rate of getting-worse. We have to do more to arrest that, to get to a net-zero state and then a net-negative state, because we can't predict that whoever we stick with the check will then be in as advantageous a place as we are to pull that brake.

This has immediate and short-term benefits even if one is too selfish to care about our grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Within living memory, rivers in the United States were too foul in which to swim and now, for the most part, they're not. Cities in the West were choked with smog and now, for the most part, they're not. And bringing it back to the topic at hand: cruise ships foul the ports they land in; you can smell it on shore and the trash they leave in their wake is obvious, and as a side benefit they also have extremely disproportionate climate impact. "What if...we didn't do that?" is not a difficult question and not one to rend one's shirt over.

Doing the right thing is better for us, now, as well as for our descendants.
Your particular life might be, but it's likely because you are comfortable.

The point of news is social change or social control (depending on who owns it), and the kind of news you lament being gone was never actually neutral. It also was in no way how news started.

You want your power company to not dump coal waste in rivers? Get some press.

You want buildings to be retired to be accessible because you are a wheelchair user? Get the press to care about it.

If you are a service member or a NYC firefighter who wants the government to be accountable for giving you cancer because of burn pits or 9/11 toxic waste? Hammer the gov in the press

I don't think there's any bait-n-switch unless you're unaware you're on fauna.com. Content marketing is well understood and at least in this case it isn't trash content someone spit out in 2 mins in order to lure you to their site. I don't see anything wrong with a company/product delivering value to you in the form of quality content and in exchange they are afforded an opportunity to run your eyes over their product offering.

I prefer not to go into too many details but most contracting I did was for medium sized companies to digitize some of their internal processes (that were previously running on Excel and email, i.e. people emailing excel files around).

In my experience cost is still a big factor. The budget for these projects is usually rather small because it is viewed solely as a cost and not an enabler. The number of users for these internal APIs is rather low and so it seems quite expensive per head.
It’s not easy. I have two children under two, a full time job and am actively interviewing. I do not have a baby sitter. It is often long hours. There is no magic solution. Keeping yourself in shape helps a lot because your brain moves faster if your body works well.

> I’ll just rent until the price bottoms out

Rent what inventory? If everyone wants to rent the monthly rent goes up until the market reaches equilibrium. Once again, look at cars. Do you see a majority of the people renting cars because "prices will be lower for the same model next year"?
This is also whataboutism, because it implies we cannot walk and chew gum at the same time.

REWE and Edeka have trained me to only buy “fancy” (Mövenpick, Cremissimo) ice cream when it’s 1,99 EUR, not “normal” price of 3,99, and to prefer whichever is “on sale”.

And I detest that decent ice cream only comes in ridiculously-shaped thick plastic that’s only good for chucking in the Gelbe Sack, not in waxed paperboard or at least a sensible container to reuse for other things.
