We don't necessarily need to recreate the bonds to sequester CO2. My understanding is that CO2 can be pumped underground in locations that used to hold natural gas. It does take lots of energy to pull the 400 ppm of CO2 out of the air. It is possible there are better sequestration methods than direct capture from the air.

If want to make green fuel from the CO2, that takes the same amount of energy as the fuel contains. Using green fuel in existing cars, trucks, and trains won't work. It only makes sense for things like shipping or airplanes that go long distances. And other fuels like hydrogen, methane, or methanol that are easier to produce might work for those.

> You can take out $50k per year

Try buying a house with 50k a year... This is exactly what the "scheme" solves. You have new immigrants who have (in many cases) legitimate money (e.g. by selling property back in china) but cannot move it out of the country quickly due to capital controls on the chinese side.

Since mortgages are meant to spread out costs over time, it's the perfect solution. However, banks (understandably) care about income rather than existing capital. So you have a lot of "safe" customers who are unlikely to default
and less sensitive to interest rates (compared to the local borrower pool), and banks looking for customers amidst high interest rates... You can see how something like this can easily arise from these conditions...

> you don’t need money laundering to get money out of china into the USA

I cannot comment on what your situation was (maybe through a business?), but AFAIK it is very hard to move capital out for regular individuals. Your realistic options to wire out capital are just "education" and "tourism". While technically you can claim "investment", it will almost always not be approved and cause a watch to be put on all your accounts.

That being said, usually documentation of the funds outside of china is completely legitimate and above board. There is no need to fake this. The only paperwork magic that needs to happen is towards the chines government... However, it still _looks_ like money laundering because you can only wire $50k a year, so many need to resort to wiring from accounts of different individuals (friends and family) to different individuals, despite the funds already being fully documented and reported outside china.

I have several gizmos which use Bluetooth. They're a little bit slower to connect to than the WiFi ones, but they work fine, and "a bit slower to connect" seems fine for a toothbrush.

I also have several gizmos, including lightbulbs, which use WiFi. To my chagrin, I've had internet outages which meant that I can't turn on a given light until the Internet comes back. I put up with it, because telling my computer to change the lights is too much fun, but when the internet goes out, I'm embarrassed both personally and professionally.

Somehow we've failed as a profession to provide people with a home network which continues to function as long as the router has power, and that sucks.
Exactly! I know naming is hard, but there had to be a better choice here.

I've been using HSBC in Canada and the USA for 15 years, they're great for exactly the reasons they shouldn't be. Their tooling basically lets you do whatever you want with no oversight. It's kinda weird, but I liked it. Sad they sold their Canadian business to RBC (even though they sold their USA business to Citizen Bank, they allowed high net worths to stay but the Canadian arm did not, wondering if this news is the reason for their exit)
That video gets cited regarding every discussion about the current Canadian immigration disaster. It pushes two basic ideas-

1) If Canada had housing, services and infrastructure that met any growth in population, there would be no problem!

2) Look at all these problems occurring, isn't it wonderful‽‽‽ It's going to force a revelation and everything will be super fixed and it'll be better than ever! The future is now! Things that don't kill you make you stronger or something.

That covers 100% of the video, and the delusional, pie in the sky notion pushed by the creator. If that video were presented as farce it would actually be funny. Instead it's depressing and sounds like the dope-fueled meanderings of someone absolutely decoupled from any semblance of reality.

Nothing is being fixed. Housing starts have dropped. Housing projects are moving slower than they did before this influx (but wait, isn't the video holding that there has been some amazing, wonderful transformation? Where?). The health system is in shambles. Demographics ghettos grow. A whole generation are going to be living in their parent's basements indefinitely, and anyone looking for a future is moving out of Canada.

Canada is poised for a very unfortunate hard turn to the right due to the policies of the very minister quoted and his peers who pushed the same "no problem here!" dismissals to growing concern. Busy making excuses as problem because disaster became catastrophe.

It is very unfortunate that some of the anger and outrage about government policy is reflected in racist or xenophobic outbursts as described in the root post, but it was basically inevitable: This government basically declared war on a demographic of Canadians and they're "fighting back". I'm lucky to work in a high skill position and live in an affluent area, but I can recognize the absolute disaster that is occurring: When coffee shop chains are buying up apartments and evicting the residents to bring in an army of TFWs, something has gone profoundly awry. When international students don't actually go to classes, get a worthless diploma, and are buying a work permit and a path to residency, something has gone wrong.

Canada needs immigration. Canada was built on immigration. Canada is a multicultural nation. What has been happening is a perversion of that and has put a country on edge.
> Huberman episode on Canabis/THC.

You mean the same episode where he claimed that something like 25% of pregnant mothers use Cannabis without providing any sources?

I'm not saying Huberman has to be right about everything, but I think he just cherrypicks too many studies, sometimes overestimates the value of animal research, and, once in a blue moon, just completely makes up stats to fit his narrative.

His on wikipedia page even says,

> Huberman has promoted anti-sunscreen views on his podcast, saying he's "as scared of sunscreen as I am of melanoma", and claiming that sunscreen molecules can be found in neurons 10 years after application; without providing any evidence.

I think his intentions are good, but I sometimes question his intentions when he never fails to mention that you can also use the code Huberman to get 25% off your first order of Athletic Greens.
You're not alone. After years of no issues and enjoying the intoxication, I had a really bad trip that caused an "anxiety attack" specifically existential anxiety. While intoxicated I would rarely but sometimes feel paranoid, however, this was my first ever time experiencing anxiety at this scale, and it persisted while I was sober.

It was (and sometimes is) really bad!!

It took 4+ months of therapy to get back to "manageable", and over 2 years later I felt back to normal and in control. I've now stopped any intoxicants (alcohol included) almost entirely. I sometimes will participate with a good group of friends, but I'm far more cautious of any intoxicant.

I have 2nd this. I've been using weed for a very long time and have seen so many people try to take a lung full of smoke as opposed to a small sip.

I don't do "vapes". That stuff is so highly concentrated that it makes me cough with even a tiny sip. Same with "gummies". I can't really know how the dose will affect me and I don't want to get "stoned".

I do think that if you're wanting weed to help with anxiety you should probably look into CBD too. That probably works better for anxiety.

Why does no social network try to take the HN route towards post ranking and moderation where bad posts simply get faded and eventually [dead] by user votes and moderator flagging?

This would be very cool. Thank you to the team for exploring in this direction.

> The problem is the policy driving it is bad. Rather than high-skilled workers, we're letting in low-to-mid-skilled young people.

The US has been running its immigration system this way for many decades. It's a disaster. With low to modest economic growth, lifting tens of millions of poor, low education, low skill, non-english speakers up out of poverty is almost impossible. You need persistently rapid economic expansion to do that. The US is getting a long-term under economic class of non-English speakers with low education levels: forever low income laborers. There are large special interests (business and political) in the US that like this and have kept our immigration system this way on purpose for decades despite the mess it has caused. Canada should avoid replicating this failed approach to immigration. The US also has a lot of sprawl space to live in, Canada for the most part does not (most of Canada isn't reasonably inhabitable obviously), so you just get ever more intense density problems in Canada with bulk immigration.

The other huge problem for Canada's immigration change, is that the low skill workers won't contribute enough in taxes net to make a difference in the fiscal demographic problems of the coming decades. The net tax contribution of a low skill worker is between zero and very low across their lifetime. Whereas with Canada's former policy of focusing on high skill immigration, you get a large tax surplus per person, which pays for expensive social programs.

> The only weed induced anxiety I've ever experienced was caused by knowing I could get arrested for possession

As a Swede I can confirm. It really feels like an 1984 situation when you sneak outside around the house blocks, knowing the angles that reduce the risk of possible "witnesses", understanding wind directions and speeds. Mostly just weed-induced paranoia, but having friends got caught really puts one on edge.

I don't think this argument is all that great - most rational people have already internalized that luck plays a role for everyone in the world.

To start with there is the "i was born healthy, wasn't malnourished, wasn't in a war zone" kinda luck.

Then there is the "being at the right place at the right time" kinda luck - which is part luck, part perseverance and persistence. You won't be in the right place if you never try or want it.

Then there is the "my direct reports did all the work, but I took the credit" kinda luck - which is pretty much any manager in the world.

Then you come to the "i have the title & power to affect change, the high standards/insight to enforce certain ideas or create certain products, and the financial backing to work through failures" kinda luck, which is where everyone wants to be, and thinks they can execute better then the other guy - but they're almost always wrong. The person who got there was self-selected by the system, and fought their way to reach the spot. The kinda of personality traits, qualities and other attributes that got that person the job, are not simply borne out of luck. Its the combination of their life experience and working through difficult situations, taking a collection of people of varying ability, personalities, etc along for the journey and getting a a large chunk of people to agree with them, etc. Its not that easy to hand-wave this away. The seeming counter-examples of people who were just gifted the role through nepotism or what have you, are not really examples, because they don't have the respect and don't play in the same league.

> But even Chinese citizens can also pool those $50k yearly allocations, it doesn’t take a lot of friends and family to do that.

So as an observer of this, you will see money coming out of one place, spread to many accounts, wired overseas to different recipients, then re-aggregated...

What do you think that looks like...? Surely not money laundering?
It happens, it can be more annoying than one thinks since people with wealth to exfiltrate correlated with other family members who also have wealth to exfiltrate, graft is family business. Nephew/niece studying abroad? That's 100k gone per year for next 4-5 years. Meanwhile living well is expensive, annoying to be dependant on personal capital flight group. And post crackdown, it's more risky to drag family/friends into pooling. Especially if they're public sector/public sector adjacent. Frequently, it's easier to pay someone commission to move money for you.

In my experience, middle class aren't buying million+ RE, they pool together savings to send kids abroad, and maybe put a down payment on a condo that the kid pays off once they get decent job in west. And by middle class we really mean upper flat out highincome top %5-10 relative to all PRC house holds who are middle class tier1/2 regions.

But agreed, domestic non gov investment ecosystem pretty trash, hard to beat investing in your kid(s) and saving for retirement until a mature system develops. Which IMO hard goal since focus isn't to further wide wealth disparity by giving that 5-10% more consumption/investment abilities but to bring up the next quantiles of households - the actual middle class. This is where my assessment departs from most, I think "common prosperity" for PRC is getting more households richer, but at PRC development levels, that diminishes the households with enough savings to retire and surplus to invest. And this has all sorts of implications on inflation/FX rate.
The heap growing towards the stack is a property of the heap segment (used by brk/sbrk). mmap is not bound to this model, and unless used with MAP_FIXED can associate the allocation with virtual addresses anywhere in the address space.
Not sure about this, as the 2 World Wars in 20th century and colonialism were a great source of deaths and disasters. But anyway, even if this is true, the point is that climate crisis probably will change this score, provoking lot more disasters and wars in the future.
> since Asio was effectively kicked out of standardisation

I saw that that happened but didn't have time to dig into it. Asio has been in use for a couple of decades so was surprised it didn't pass muster. Could anyone summarize what went wrong?

Admittedly what Nebler is talking about does look a lot simpler, but is it a reasonably full replacement for the functionality of Asio?
Or with how they shut out third party clients for paid customers by deprecating libspotify without ever providing a playback-capable replacement (despite promises otherwise).

I’m sure paid Spotify users would like freedom of choice just as much as the Apple customers they’re supposedly advocating for. Until they address this, as well as support for devices that aren’t Spotify Connect™ devices (like HomePods), they’re being hypocritical.
To maybe offer a different perspective:
I think the Canadian mortgages linked to Chinese accounts will likely all be paid.
What may be happening is that there is a lot of underground chinese financial activity that is not recorded in Canada and part of this 'network' is utilized to get money out of china.
If you wrote like 20 similar papers, I think it is not even near that. If you already have the exploit, you can easily and lazily throw this together in a week. I presume.
I've got nothing but anecdotal evidence but I had the same thing happen to me as have at least a half dozen other people that I know.

Regular smokers for years, at some point something changed, after that point almost any amount of smoking caused enough paranoia and anxiety that they decided to stop smoking entirely.

About once a year, I think, "I'll take a quarter of an edible and watch this movie at home". 9 times out of 10 I end up having an awful night due to anxiety.

Recently, I got a P14s with the AMD Ryzen PRO 7840U. Its CPU and GPU are a different architecture than the Ryzen PRO 3700U in the my old T495.

The P14s seems very fast and stable with Fedora 39. I tested OpenCL as well as Steam games and general desktop usage with Firefox.

But to be honest, I didn't have as much trouble as you describe with my T495 either. I ran it exclusively with Fedora since right before the pandemic. My main problem was that I could not use OpenCL at all. But for desktop usage and even Steam games, it worked well enough.

I'll admit I rarely use suspend/resume, so if your problems were related to that, it might explain my different experience. I've noticed the T495 is very slow to resume compared to most other machines I've used including the P14s and lots of Intel-based Thinkpads.
This seems to conflate the idea of a nation (ie a people) with that of a country or state, which I find pretty odd. Many countries are composed of many constituent nations, many of which will cross state borders.

Yes this is in general the rule my wife & I have observed throughout our careers.

By and large companies that don't want to pay individuals appropriately also don't want to hire enough people, so everyone is stuck underpaid, overworked and miserable. They also tend to collect people in leadership roles who would not be hired anywhere else.. leaving their ICs all the worse.

My best paying jobs generally all had the best benefits and nicest people.

There are some examples of companies that are known in their industry to pay a premium "hazard pay" for working you to the bone, but they are something of an exception.
