We could convert the plant material to a carbon rich form, and bury it deep in the ground. Luckily, in some of the post industrial west we have holes prepared, which used to contain this form of carbon so we know they're suitable. That said, they sometimes leak methane. So we probably need to breed a bird of some kind, to be used to the idea of living in methane athmosphere and sing, if the methane levels vary. And since we cant use petrol engines to put the carbon blocks there, we maybe need to breed special little horses,pulling wooden carts, to work in this dark environment. The holes may be small due to local compression. It might be best if we also got kids involved, and used to confined spaces.

If we do this right we may wind up with a small amount of carbon we can store in pits. If we can find the pits that the romans and post romans dug.

I think this is generally agreed on. Most super tall buildings are heavily state funded and used more of a show piece demonstrating the prosperity and ability of the city. Commercially they just aren’t reasonable.

China for example has stopped building these super tall sky scrapers because it’s far more economical to build lots of 40 level buildings than a few 100+ level ones.

I got one not too long after the official launch and I've used it a decent amount (granted I am in cybersecurity and have a more real-world use cases then the average person). My favorite use case is the IR remote since phones no longer have IR blasters. It's saved me twice so far in having to buy/find a remote for something.

One thing people don't realize is that the custom firmware [0] that you can run allows you to receive and transmit on a wide range of frequencies under 1Ghz. Lots of things use that range (garage doors, gates, fan remotes, etc.) and are not very secure. I think that this will be a time looked back on where it's possible to interact with those devices without having to buy a custom PCB transmitter or somewhat expensive and complex SDR.

If alternative stores equated to better software, then Android would have easily outpaced Apple by now.

The only people who would benefit from forcing Apple to allow alternative stores are the unscrupulous middlemen who would run them.

The ToS isn’t law and we desperately need to stop pretending it is.

A ToS a “shrinkwraped” contract. In Apple’s case, it’s enforceability was yet to be tested. We can agree to a lot of things in a contract, but in general, we cannot consent to letting a party break the law at your expense. A judge determined that Apples practices were unlawful and therefore the problematic stipulation of the ToS was struck.

This is an important tool to combat runaway shrinkwrap contracts that can say literally anything and attempt to enforce it.
To be honest, I don't think seats and rusted iron railings should be things we strive to just retain so that they can be considered historic.

This is something I saw a lot of with certain immigrant families. The incoming generation would generally be quite poor, but there was some other property they had that made a big difference: they were educated, stable, capable, loving, etc. It's as if you transported a well-off family somewhere else while only taking all their money away but leaving everything else. They would live modestly but then the first generation would end up quite well off.

While it's true that in Rust most operators (eg. all arithmetic operators, as well as !, &, |, ^) are just syntax sugar over some trait methods that you could call directly, this is not the case for boolean "and" and "or": && and || have to be special due to their short-circuiting properties (in "false && b()" b never gets called, same in "true || b()").

There's value to be had in more competition the "middleman" market, too!

At the moment, on PC there's a healthy competition between the Microsoft Store, Steam, GOG, Epic Games, EA Origin and probably at least a dozen other smaller platforms, some of which are also available on macOS and Linux.

On Android, there's the Play Store, some of the device manufacturers have their own additional stores (Samsung), even carriers have app stores (Vodafone Germany), and enabling a completely independent store like F-Droid is three taps away. The only thing that's unhealthy is how much AOSP functionality got shifted over to the Play Store Services which means that competitors on the OS level (e.g. Amazon's Fire series) have to do a lot of work on reimplementing that to even get basic apps running.

The only platforms where app/game vendors are completely dependent on the mercy of the device vendor is Apple's iDevices and game consoles (Xbox, PS5, Nintendo Switch) - and it's high time for that to end. Users should be free to run whatever they want to run on their devices, and they should be free to decide upon another curator for trustworthyness if they so desire. If the price of that is marginally more expensive hardware, so be it - it should not be allowed to sell stuff as permanent loss leaders anyway, it's unfair business practice.
Interesting how these generally accepted principles among “real” engineers are still poorly understood by software engineers. I always knew something like Heroku could never work reliably at a certain scale. The limits and tradeoffs of building something like an S3 are rarely even discussed.

The lifespan is kind of a complex issue. I think generally they can last for a very long time if maintained. But that often the maintenance costs can exceed the point that it’s worth doing.

Australia has a situation where a lot of public housing buildings are 60+ years old and while still structurally sound, they require refurbishment to keep running well. But the problem is living and buildings standards have progressed so much since construction that even if they were restored to like new conditions, they would still be sub standard.

So it makes more sense to demolish and rebuild.

> you can feel more “seams” between components

That's it. I've been struggling to figure out what I can't stand about iOS and it just clicked. It's the lack of seams. When something breaks I can never figure out what specifically broke, so I can't reason about my mistake (or know who to contact if it's not my mistake).

I like seams so much that I'm running google play services in a sandbox (Graphene OS) so google has to grovel for my permission like everybody else whenever they want to do something. It's a little annoying, but it's teaching me where the seams are.

It is a problem of personal finance. One of the best things to do when fixing personal finances is to get organized. Having many subscriptions in the same place is a big step towards that.

The fact that not all subscriptions can be found there doesn’t take away from the ones that are. Perfect should not be the enemy of the good.

And that doesn’t even begin to touch the security aspect of it. Apple isn’t perfect but I trust them a heck of a lot more than the median no-name app developer out there.
How about the rules that you do not have an example to observe from?
I have led efforts building Chinook style tandem rotors with 2 sets of blades from a size like the Trex 800, powered by a 2 stroke engine, as well as 40kg max takeoff quad-planes with both electric quadrotor and 2 stroke engine (for forward motion).

But because I was the main lead and pushing the pace so fast, I wished I did it with a more rigorous aero-engineering to it. I started both projects with barely any experience developing aircraft.

Thinking about your question, here are my 2 cents:

The biggest thing I stugged with is how the vibrations and the accompanying harmonics on the sytem as the rotors spin up and down. I could see it on the logs as the rotors spin through certain Hz, there's would spikes in virbational ampiltudes at predictable frequencies. As the blades get bigger the forces (probably) goes up. Sometimes, these frequecies (especially the lower ones) are at the range where its very hard to find the right materials to damp it out of the control and sensing electronics. Ingenuity probably deals with a virbration range that well into the hundreds/thousand of Hz and I do remember that renge is not a difficult range to damp out, vis a vis the low tens of hertz.

Also, the harmonics is related to ground resonance. I had built my tandem with "skids" that are rigidly attached to the rest of the frame. When the system made contact with the ground on just one skid, that one skid becomes a pivot, the vibration has no where to go and I witnessed first hand, first time, what ground resonance can do to mechanical systems. I can never forget seeing M4 through to M8 hex holt beads being sheared clean off after the resonance event. Only later did I find out that in full scale systems, they have dampeners between the main body and the skids of the aircraft. See https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IIC-oBzLYhQ ;

Staying in flight is not as hard. But getting the ssytem to land and spin down proerly was big pain without understanding ground resonance and its effect on mechanical design. When I saw the little puny legs of Ingenuity, this experience of mine came into mind and I was glad they had legs like to damp out vibrations as it came down to land.

Then there is the relation between the mechanical vibration regimes of the system, the polilng rates of the foundational flight sensors and the freqency of the main flight stability and movement control loop itself.

With bigger systems, the cables (for signal and power) could run longer too (becoming long long antennas), which means you can run into problems with noise of various origins. If I'd do it again, something like CAN bus would probably be something I look at seriously. Bigger systems also draws more power, and that can have an impact on how much management is needed for noise. Bigger power draw usually also means heavy power store & delivery system, which affects CG management, when then means you can't move things around to management noise. At some point, I felt like I was doing dancing a multi-factorial show.

I wished I could be clearer. Perhaps someone more qualified can chime in.
In these cases the bulk of such institutions is a bureaucratic apparatus, which serves as a tool. You cannot judge a tool for being used for evil purposes, and in the charge of those with different intentions, it may be used for better purposes in the future.

In the more general case (i.e. communities rather than kingdoms or corporations), judgment can perhaps be passed on the principles or aesthetics that keep it together. However changing it would probably require a change in its environment that rendered such principles or aesthetics obsolete. This is a much more difficult task that can require legislation or sociological advancement or something of that sort.
How about the rules that you do not have an example to observe from? Someone had to test the rules for you to observe the test.
The point of the flipper zero is to have one good supported gadget that has a lot of people hacking away with it.

It's the same thing with the raspberry pi, sure you can get some cheap clone off less than ideal places, but you're gonna pay with your time. That's basically it.
There's a difference between a school writing up its own set of conduct rules and plagiarism.

Any two entities can agree to any set of terms they want. If a school says you have to sign a code of conduct to go there, and it prohibits submitting the same work for more than one course, fine. If someone breaks that rule, accuse them of violating the code of conduct.

But that's not plagiarism. "Self-plagiarism" is a contradiction in terms.
If you want to go deeper with RFID and can spend a bit more (~$50), I am pretty happy with my knockoff Proxmark3 Easy [0] I got on ebay. (Do some research to find a good seller as I have heard some sellers ship bad units). It can do both 125khz and 13.25Mhz RFID/NFC and is easier to use then some of the Android apps for cracking Mifare keys.

For the price, it is great for more complex attacks and almost has all the features of a full Proxmark RDV4 (minus BLE and a battery).

We used to have a piece of Java software called Scout - it did a lot of small memory allocations... Led to runtime of multiple days for some datasets. I was reading the book Solaris Internals. The edition I had was updated for the ultrasparc 3's, and I was reading that section that talked about memory pages and the new support for huge pages, eg 4GB pages. We switched on 4GB pages and the week long runs of Scout went to only a few hours. That performance gain was real money and time.

That was an interesting trip down memory lane.
> * For very short distances the so-called spectral dimension is theorized to get reduced from four to two in certain approaches to quantum gravity, see this post by Sabine Hossenfelder([…])

FTFY.

Hossenfelder's blog post says:

> The notion of dimension that is relevant for the effect of dimensional reduction is not the Hausdorff dimension, but instead the “spectral dimension.” The spectral dimension can be found by first getting rid of the Lorentzian signature and going to Euclidean space. And then to watch a random walker who starts at one point, and measure the probability for him to return to that point. The smaller the average return probability, the higher the probability he’ll get lost, and the higher the number of dimensions. One can define the spectral dimension from the average return probability.

(The Hausdorff dimension is what we typically mean when we say "spatial dimension.")

Moreover, all the papers cited are "approaches to quantum gravity", as she says, i.e. attempts at finding a theory of quantum gravity that works. No one has found one yet, though.

> Apple can not be forced to give you their SDKs, Services etc for free and help you sell that product on their marketplace for free.

The argument is we wouldn't need their marketplace and services if they allowed users to easily download and install software downloaded from regular websites.

you know... the way it always worked and still works in Linux/BSD.

There are obviously security implications to this, but I believe if I own the device I should be able to take the risk.

As far as their SDKs they actually do need to provide those for free, otherwise nobody will develop software for iOS and they won't be able to sell devices.
I think this kind of complexity is not the reality of most developers. They just stop all old services, update them and re-start them during a maintenance window.

This doesn’t really seem to translate across at all. Widely in software it seems it really is easier and more cost efficient to have a few super platforms than thousands of small ones.

Like Facebook, Reddit, and Discord were able to absorb the hundreds of thousands of old school forums. And they still run faster and cheaper than the sum of all those individual run sites.

For buildings it’s tricky because the additional height and weight create lots of new problems.
