As noted in the article, it makes no sense to compare human CO2 emissions to an object.

An object which requires CO2 to operate and have original works to steal.
Here is a study from 2008 that seems to agree with the author’s opinion:

https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Robert-Bjork-2/publicat...

From the abstract:
We conclude therefore, that at present, there is no adequate evidence base to justify incorporating learning-styles assessments into general educational practice. Thus, limited education resources would better be devoted to adopting other educational practices that have a strong evidence base, of which there are an increasing number.
However, given the lack of methodologically sound studies of learning styles, it would be an error to conclude that all possible versions of learning styles have been tested and found wanting; many have simply not been tested at all.

> "Learning Styles" thinking was based on the idea that step one was the most important. However, without conceptual understanding, learning devolves to rote learning. Without practice and repetition, long-term in-depth learning is impossible.

This is something that hampered my progress in music and learning instruments until I understood it. Just learning an instrument without looking at theory behind it wasn't really motivating to me after a while. On the other hand, learning theory without having an instrument to use it on doesn't really click. However, putting these two together and in parallel results in a much more motivating and whole situation for me. Suddenly it's very interesting to understand what a song does at a deeper level, and a desire to be good enough with the guitar to do that, or similar things.

> As far as approaches to learning, by far the best methods involve a fair amount of one-on-one attention. The quickest way to learn something is to have it directly explained to you by another person, with questions allowed. Similarly, the best way to test your own understanding of a subject is to explain it to someone else.

I'm pretty happy how Spectre Academy does it. The main bulk is a bunch of video lectures and they have a discord server for course owners to ask questions to the lecturers as necessary. Though, as the article said, you need to treat these video lectures as... lectures. Get out that notebook and start writing down the important parts.
You missed the second part:

No. This is well proven.
1) it is exponentially easier to generate bullshit than to refute it
2) the prevalence of misinformation can sway public opinion and the opinion of those without sufficient experience to refute

The correct approach is to lay out the facts clearly, outlining the chain of reasoning so that anyone can follow it if they choose. Identify known purveyors of bullshit and shut them down so they stop polluting the idea space.
And carefully, with intellectual humility consider opposing but well reasoned ideas.

Shutting down known bullshiters is necessary for preserving public discourse otherwise they just spray bullshit at all hours of all days and overwhelm well reasoned discourse.

If someone is shouting nonsense in a debate, interrupting, and not listening you have no obligation to keep them in the debate. In fact if they’re arguing in bad faith that alone is enough to stop listening to them, stop amplifying them, stop talking about their ideas.

No it isn't a great use case. It is a pandora's box. Mass manufacturing of nuclear devices used at sites with fewer or no top-notch experts, less stability because of the smaller volume, much more pressure on costs (because some things don't scale with the power output) and many, many more units where something can go wrong.
Microsoft isn't even able to secure their Azure cloud or their products. Why do you think they will do so much better with nuclear energy? Will they automatically insure the whole region against an incident? Will they automatically pay all the damages such a case? How about the things that money cant buy such as stillborn babies, early death, mutations, the effects of extreme stress during a catastrophe?
And if they contain an incident, will they pay the full clean up and permanent storage of the mess? Also, nuclear reactors tend to have a long life-time. What will happen at the end or should Microsoft as a company go out of business?

I really think we need to be a lot more humble with nuclear energy. The last cost savings caused Chernobyl to be such a disaster. Even the Japanese couldn't handle the power of nature, which was to some degree foreseeable.

>Solitaire (...) was featured in Neal Stephenson’s book Cryptonomicon under the name “Pontifex”.

It was introduced under the name "Solitaire", "Pontifex" was used initially as a temporary code-word when characters couldn't speak freely.

I've always wondered if just using plain RC4 (adapted to a card deck) would be simpler (and probably more secure). Adding two-digit (0..52) numbers by hand is easy for almost everyone, and RC4's swap step is no more involved than the `cut` operation of Solitaire. The only downside is that it requires user to keep track of `i` and `j` - two additional two-digit numbers (in memory, because writing anything down is against the threat model of characters in the story). I agree it's error-prone. But, assuming temporarily writing things down with pen and paper is OK according to my threat model, I think RC4 would work nicely.

Of course Bruce is the world-class expert in cryptography and I'm not, so you should probably ignore my grumbling here :).

How are certificates distributed to computers before the TLS session begins? How does a user trust an untrusted certificate and it's chain, say from Let's Encrypt?

You only distribute public keys to the end user - and private key signed hashes that can be verified by those public keys.

The user is given an option to trust a key for a new repo, when it's not in their list of trusted keys. The installation already comes with a list of trusted keys when it begins. If you trust it, then you run it - just like you should be trusting the root certificates in your system to really benefit from TLS, even. That includes Government, Telco and Company issued certificates. :-)
When in an input field, you simply tap to place the cursor. If you need finer placement you use the spacebar. The tap works 90% of the time since you’re usually editing whole words.

Also, iOS has kept a software implementation of force touch around, even after removing the hardware: a hard press goes directly into cursor placement, it takes a bit more force than it used to. I imagine it’s a mix of gyroscopes and detecting a growing touch surface.
Shaken baby syndrome is very unlikely to be the result of malicious abuse though. It’s almost always a deeply frustrated parent or caregiver who is desperate, trying to assert control over a screaming infant, and does not understand that this could kill them, or at least thinks they will not. It is child abuse, but hardly of the same nature as most people assume with the term.

That’s a very different problem from shaken baby syndrome. See adjacent reply.
A passport is only used for international travel, which was already under the purview of the feds. It is also only used for travel, which means that many people don't have one.

Drivers licenses (/IDs) are used for everything else pertaining to someone's daily life. In this way it affects how/who/where/when people drive, vote, buy and sell controlled things, engage in some financial transactions, travel domestically, obtain social benefits, etc.

It allows local authorities to be gatekeepers. A commonly used and carried federal ID would shift that gatekeeping authority to the feds. It could also enable additional gatekeeping which is not currently possible in the absence of this ID, which is a primary concern of the people who are against this.
Sesame Street premiered when I was eleven years old, so I didn't ever watch any episodes. Me and my buds were outside kids and didn't have much time for TV. My children, however, loved it and I did too whenever I could watch it with them.

My grown children now all use streaming services, so their kids hardly ever see Sesame Street. How times change.
I didn't intend to minimize the child's concern from GGP's post, I remember all the terrible things that children are capable of. but I remember those things happening in the hallways, bathrooms, and locker rooms more than in the actual classroom. never leaving the room during class seems kinda arbitrary when there are so many opportunities for the students to harm each other.

a better way of asking my question might have been: is there something special about never leaving the classroom specifically, or has the expectation evolved to "students will absolutely never be unsupervised during school hours"? given that teachers also need time to physically move between their office, the cafeteria, bathroom, and classroom, this seems hard to achieve.
> I'll concede that it's not well thought out.

It doesn’t take into account whether there’s a victim or not. In a free thinking liberal society we don’t punish thought crimes because the concept is absurd. It’s what allows us to have diversity of art, literature, thought, etc. Fantasy != reality.

Today we allow all manner of “unspeakable” acts to be portrayed and imagined: war, murder, sexual abuse, speeding, gambling, fraud, you name it we can write, draw, think, and talk about it. There’s nothing fundamentally special about portraying a minor in a lewd way in that sense.

So I think any call to heavily punish people for a new crime should be framed in the context of: who’s the victim and what harm are we preventing? If there is no victim then it’s much harder to build a case that there’s harm.
An easy selling point to at least start is that universally using accessibility labeling makes automated app testing phenomenally easier to write and maintain.

> most mainstream programming languages store unicode strings in memory as UTF-16

This is increasingly frequently false. For stupid historical reasons, far too many languages adopted potentially-ill-formed UTF-16 semantics (never well-formed, sadly), but this makes for such a bad representation that they’ve mostly abandoned it as a sole representation, in favour of more complicated arrangements. For example, Java strings can internally be single-byte Latin-1 or two-byte UTF-16. JavaScript engines do similar tricks these days, and although Python 3 just never did UTF-16 at all (it uses code point semantics, which is almost worse than UTF-16 semantics) it does a 1-byte/2-byte/4-byte hybrid representation thing too.

For one of the most extreme examples of becoming unglued from UTF-16, the Servo browser engine manages to use WTF-8 (UTF-8 plus lone surrogates, to allow representing ill-formed UTF-16) despite being forced by these historical reasons to expose UTF-16 semantics, and although the performance of some operations are harmed by it, others are improved, and in the balance it was a pretty convincing win when they tested it (which many people did not expect).

PyPy is also a great example of changing your encoding to one that has mismatched semantics: it applies UTF-8 (or I suppose it must actually be UTF-8 plus surrogates) to Python, and likewise they found it surprisingly good for performance.

These things give me hope that even environments like the JVM and .NET CLR might eventually manage to switch their internal string representations to UTF-8 or almost-UTF-8.

But also I emphasise that these are historical languages that are stuck with the horrendous 16-bit decisions of the early-to-mid-’90s. When you look at newer languages, they almost always choose something more sensible, and UTF-8 is almost always at the heart of it.

How Microsoft Does Quality Assurance
It was embellished a little, and there were some procedural flaws, but it was an order of magnitude more realistic than subsequent L&O shows.

For the cops, prosecutors, and defense attorneys, the show doesn't give the proper sense of immense caseload. Each episode feels like they're focused 100% on a single thing, when in reality they're probably juggling dozens, and stretched thin.

The cop side of things in L&O is fairly unrealistic, but imo in more minor ways for pacing than anything egregious.

The prosecutors of course don't get called on 4th/5th amendment violations as they normally would, and my memory is the defendant testifies way too frequently (for homicide cases, in that time priod). And it doesn't do a realistic depiction of the rate at which people get completely screwed over by corruption. And it doesn't do a great job pointing out how often prosecutors will take cases prioritized for their own political careers.

I am not a lawyer, and the lawyers I watched L&O with were civil litigators not criminal litigators, so some of my perspective is probably off (though I suspect in ways that are more favorable to the show). Also it was like 25 years ago? Lol

That's what they may claim, but their actions speak much louder than their words. Just look at what happens whenever they take political power. They profess "local control" when they only have control of the localities; when they achieve power at the state or federal level, they immediately place restrictions on the ability of localities to set their own rules and laws. (I've seen this happen over and over.) And traditionally over the decades, conservatives have been and continue to be the biggest proponents of censorship: in schools, in the media, in businesses, etc.

I think the fairest thing to say, from that Wikipedia article, is this: "Conservatism in the United States is not a single school of thought." "The history of American conservatism has been marked by tensions and competing ideologies".

I would claim that these apparent contradictions all make sense if the goal is to preserve and promote a social hierarchy.

One might wonder how Christianity and capitalism are even compatible. Read what Jesus said about money! Sometimes it appears that most contemporary conservative Christians in the US have not read The New Testament at all, and in some other countries, such as in South America, Christian social movements tend to be (more naturally IMO) explicitly anti-capitalist. I have this strong impression that US conservative Christians have come to believe that the so-called Invisible Hand of the market is actually God sending reward and punishment, which is why it's now ok and even praiseworthy to seek after and accumulate wealth.
To quote the article: That does not count the numerous residential projects that have already been sold but not yet completed due to cash-flow problems, or the multiple homes purchased by speculators in the last market upturn in 2016 that remain vacant, which together make up the bulk of unused space, experts estimate.

Maybe give the article a slower and calmer re-read.

Could you point to the difference you believe is important? What on earth is “heavily engineered” supposed to mean in the context of mRNA?
Leaking 0.0005 bits/character means that you leak a full bit after 2000 characters. This may already be a problem - for example if you know the (2000 characters long) message starts with either "Victory" or "We lost", you can use the information leak to make an educated guess which one it is (with significant, but not 100%, certainty).

A better motivated and more precise example comes from the linked paper itself:

>As another example, suppose a suspected dissident is accused of leaking a government document using Solitaire and that the document is 10,000 characters. In their defence the suspect produces an innocuous document of the same length. A cryptographic expert witness could derive the key stream under each claim and count the repeats. The causal case would be expected to have about 444 repeats in the key stream and the non-causal around 385. The difference of 60 would represent more than 2 standard deviations, which may constitute reasonable doubt dependent on the legal system and the member of the judiciary
