What are some solutions for water table depletion and how comparably sustainable are they?

How much water is extracted from air by PV panels that output H2O, and what are the impacts?

Do drilling and fracking consume lots of water and create holes through aquifers? Do holes in aquifers cause aquifers to drain out to lower chambers of the earth?

Historically, people have moved to where the water is.

Is there a subsurface ocean on Earth or Mars?

Is there enough of a thermal gradient between very deep wells and surface water to generate energy?

How many humans operating humanoid robots operating construction equipment does to take to build irrigation canals?

Perhaps helpful new solar distillation tech for #Goal6 #CleanWater:

- "Desalination system could produce freshwater that is cheaper than tap water" (2023) : "Extreme salt-resisting multistage solar distilation with thermohaline convection" (2023) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39507692

Perhaps there are already sustainable salt-tolerant plants without GM; algae, kelp, sargassum

There is plenty of salt water on Earth. Does life on earth depend upon and/or derive from ocean thermohaline cycles?

I think of the web like I think about Windows. Decades of backwards compatibility. Dubious choices that get dragged along because it is useful for people who can't or won't let go of stuff that works for them. It's a for better or for worse situation.

As far as the processor goes, the M1 is in active production (e.g. for the iPad Air), and is still a very capable CPU. It may not be the fastest laptop CPU on the market anymore, but it's hardly slow.
Gonna dump some hard truths here.

You don't have a fundamental right to having someone else pick up your latte.

Food delivery has very little economic value. Yes it saves you a small amount of time but the people doing it aren't somehow more efficient at it and their labor can't then be allocated to anything that does provide an efficiency.

If you want to reduce the amount of time it takes you to get food you should stop fighting mixed zoning and start supporting the construction of walkable communities.

The problem isn't that there aren't enough people willing to make slave wages to hand deliver a burger to you, it's that the burger is in a strip mall five miles away across an eight lane highway.
That is patently wrong. I run Fedora on my Framework because it is the most supported and recommended distro for it and I mostly just need a web browser for most of the things I do on it. I've had kernel upgrades break wifi completely, the fingerprint reader doesn't work properly out of the box, 6GHz Wifi isn't supported (though neither is it supported in Windows 10), VLC (which I hate using) is the only media player that supports playing from SMB shares on Linux, Wayland isn't compatible with Synergy type software (and my web browser doesn't work well with xorg), etc.

Most of these things worked without any fuss in Windows and I can't think of any notable Windows issues I had to deal with on the laptop before I installed Fedora.

It’s a performance optimization for rendering a large amount of html. If the DOM had all the items in memory it would perform much worse. Thankfully browsers are working on a feature where you can keep the markup in the DOM for things like CTRL-F without hurting performance.

Granted the main reason such a technique is needed is designs that avoid pagination.
Isn’t this something Oracle will be fixing? Seems like it from other comments here.
Sure it does — there is a noisy optimization process, but more importantly an undeniable general trend which is the point.

Utter garbage:

>The authors worked with stakeholders and the White House and Department of Justice for months to address concerns — including concerns about whether the legislation could violate the constitution. Even after all the work, Krishnamoorthi told reporters that the 352 votes the bill received “was not predicted.”

>“That’s a testament to the power of the bill and the concern about ByteDances’ ownership of TikTok,” he said.

-

...stakeholders... <-- explicitely define and name [stakehoders]

...concern about ByteDances’ ownership.... <-- and the assumed US based owner would be whom? And where would the firehose go?

-

If the concern is that the firehose currently points to China, and we are worried that we are being syphoned for PII nationally - but the assumption is that US ownership does exactly what to the PII firehose? Who is consuming the meta off such a flow?

And is it just assumed that we what, splice off a feed?

How does this work specifically from a data, PII, protections, ownership, routing, hosting, costing, support, etc side?

I find this idea interesting ‘These are possible in JavaScript in browsers, but implementation quality varies a lot and many web devs just never bother.’

Do you have any examples that you consider good implementations? I ask because tables seem to be the biggest offenders of slow components in say Angular / PrimeNG. I am going to a legacy app soon that is being updated (Angular but not PrimeNG). Would like to see if we can build a feature rich table that is more performant than the PrimeNG one that I know looks amazing but is the cause of many headaches.

NOTE: its not Angular or PrimeNG specifically that make the tables slow/hogs, but the amount of DOM elements inside and some of the implementation details that I disagree with (functions that are called withing the HTML being evaluated every tick). Would be great to see if this idea of a ‘recycler widget’ can help us. Cheers.

You having that experience does not make it a basic fact.

I didn’t even have to do the actual installation, as it was a prebuild machine. The only thing I had to do was the ‘clicking a few things and typing out username and password’ part.

Comparing the two between Ubuntu and Windows, I’m forced to conclude that Ubuntu has the easier version, or at least faster. And windows has the advantage/disadvantage of needing my MS account to set up an operating system.

That's not a good way to make money. It's not how FAANG pays people, and if it is how your employer pays people then you should always be learning so you can change to better jobs.

A funny thing about "never work for free" advice is that a lot of highly paid jobs (investment banking, high end escorts) are about doing tons of client work for free in a way that eventually gets them to pay you way too much when they do pay you.

Do you work on a farm or do you just consume their output? Degrowth is obviously not the only option but if you have never worked on an industrial scale farm then you should do some more research before casting blame on people who are trying to educate you about the scale of the problem facing us. Resources necessary for intensive industrial farming are running out. Business as usual is not sustainable regardless of how upset that makes you.

A few years ago, I found out that I have apnea, and I never snore. It was quite a shock that I had pretty serious apnea. I did a sleep test because I was having some other issues and it was advised. I fully expected it to show nothing. I use a CPAP machine now.
In theory, lab meat could have textures and tastes that are hard to cultivate with traditonal methods that consumers might want. Also it could have environment and health benefits that people find desirable. I saw a review of lab-grown salmon that was very positive. The question is if it will get to a price people are willing to pay and that is more questionable.
Newpaper sites are notorious for this.
Depends, PubMed will happily take any article. I know for a fact that Nature does it’s own independent review of whatever is published (or did, years ago anyway). It’s not a guarantee of course, there’s been enough instances of review failure even in Nature, but it’s not the same as free access.

Ultimately what you are paying for is curation.

I still do this. Lately though I've noticed more and more places I call have an automated prompt directing me to order online.

In practice, the sphere of resturaunts I can get takeout from is steadily shrinking.

US TV spectrum has been halved in the last 20 years. Used to have channels 2-69 (minus 37, reserved for radio astronomy). Now it's just 2-36.

I’ve thought about the this too and the answer seems to be nothing. I’m working one such clone already and imo for a one man show I’ve come pretty close to achieving my goals.

It’s a conundrum for “big tech” imo because if they give you too much access to their “AI” then yes, that might pose an existential threat to their core businesses. This is likely the reason for all the regulatory capture hopes and dreams.
> Making a per order tax/fee isnt the right method to achieve their goals [...] route delivery can keep the costs down.

The Seattle ordinance doesn't call for per-order fees! It requires minimum per-mile and per-minute rates, along with a per-offer minimum of $5. An "offer" is "one or more online orders presented to an app-based worker as one opportunity to perform services for compensation that the app-based worker may accept or reject."

Delivery companies have long had the opportunity to optimize and batch deliveries to reduce costs. The ordinance only further incentivizes them to do so! Adding extreme per-order fees is not something they're being forced to do, but is more of a punitive response to the legislation instead of building more efficient and sustainable systems.

Would you mind explaining, since I didn’t read the book but saw the movie.

IIRC, the main character knew her future daughter would get sick and pass - and the conundrum was, does she tell her husband before the daughter is born (to potentially prevent pregnancy but doesn’t) … which after the daughter was born, the dad/husband learned she knew the future fate - led to their divorce. Was the book different?

Arguably the Iran argument is truthful. The US argument doesn’t really hold water (I haven’t seen any evidence of China actually manipulating the media shown on TikTok)
Any reason this is all one giant project? One of Nextcloud's IMHO fatal mistakes is it tries to be everything. So people have to choose between say, a better todo app, or the one that's integrated with their monolith of choice.

Meanwhile, if you approach each module as it's own project, but with shared code where sensible, and open standards driving your integrations, people including you, can select the parts that best suit them while mixing in software from others where appropriate.
Given that I've been using Ubuntu on the desktop since I was 11, I'm not worried.

The reason I switched was because Windows didn't work. Win11's desktop makes early-2010s KDE look like a smooth, bug-free experience. My laptop (a 10th gen X1 thinkpad) was plagued with driver problems. At least twice a month, I'd have to reboot when I joined a meeting and discovered my mic wouldn't un-mute. Switching to Ububtu solved both of these problems, and I don't have to deal with an awkwardly bifurcated environment where a couple of my CLI tools run in WSL while everything else is native. Oh, and my Zephyr build times are a good 25% faster now.

They didn’t make any less than any other service industry worker.

The scam was getting them to use their own vehicle without mileage fees for depreciation. But even that’s gone now with lots of pizza places having a fleet of delivery vehicles for the drivers.

To your snarky meta-point, yes, having people learn the market rates for labor is a good lesson. It’s really good for teenagers who don’t actually need the money because it’s about the lowest risk hands-on way to figure out that life is harsh to people who have limited skills for where society pours its money.
> If you’re already set for life it’s less risky to play the odds by investing in hundreds of startups rather than starting one.

Risky is not the word I would use to phrase that, at least not in the financial sense. There's little such risk there, "if you're already set for life" as you said.

More comfortable, for sure. Easier. PG has said as much himself on X several times when asked whether starting a company or investing was harder.
> you should do some more research before casting blame on people who are trying to educate you

Clearly these would-be educators are doing a terrible job if one must “do research” before “casting blame.”
I think it's rather a "performance is more important than functionality" philosophy.
Not exactly language but use of language, as someone that moved from the tropics (Brazil) into a temperate country (US) it was a bit shocking to have people talk about time in terms of seasons. People often talk about how they are going to do/did stuff in winter/spring/summer/fall and for someone from the tropics none of this makes any sense, as there's either a hot or a wet season with much intermingling between them all the time.

When talking about the passing of time we'd usually go for the holidays instead (Carnaval, Lent/Easter, St John's/St Peter's, Christmas) and when we were in school we'd count it based on school quarters.

The school year not starting and ending in the same year was also very surprising.

So it turns out the answer is, it depends. I studied linguistics a bit in college and Sapir-Whorf was then derided (late 90s), though we never got into it. Wiki explains the popularization of linguistic relativism was more due to Whorf (than Sapir), and that perhaps he was a poor scientist.

OTA TV has one advantage over all of the delivery alternatives: no ongoing access fees. I agree that the spectrum is wasteful, but at least it still belongs to the people in some sense. If we give it up, it will be sold as more 5G spectrum that you then have no option other than to pay for.
Big respect for this approach. It's hard but there are benefits. You can often build functionality at lower levels than a library would let you. My home automation software implemented POP3 and later IMAP both without a library. And FWIW, it was really fun seeing how those standards actually work under the hood.
> Auto loan debt increased by $12 billion to $1.61 trillion

I really can’t understand how people are so desperate to drive a new car that they’d go into debt to do it. Why would you sign up for years worth of payments on a $15k+ car when you could just buy a used one outright for like $4k, and not have to worry about it?

A house, sure, you then own real estate, you even can borrow money against the value you’ve already paid into your property, and when you’re ready you can sell it, likely for significantly more than you paid. Real estate is such a solid investment.

But a car??
Related: Too much of technology today doesn't pay attention or even care to the less technologically adept, either.

Smartphones in my opinion are a major example of this. I can't tell you the number of people I've meet who barely even or don't even know how to use their devices. It's all black magic to them.

The largest problem is the over-dependence on the use of "Gesture Navigation" which is invisible and thus non-existent to them. Sure, they might figure out the gesture bar on an iPhone, but they have no conception of the notification/control center.

It's not that these people are dumb either, many of them could probably run circles around me in other fields, but when it comes to tech, it's not for a lack of trying, it's a lack of an intuitive interface.
Lucky you, that's how much they used to charge when one could actually, no kidding, buy Snow Leopard. I paid it so that my hackintosh (on HP Mini) wasn't stolen and I still have the CD-ROM, which shows you how long ago they cared about making the OS a purchasable thing

No, no. They select based on what they know. If they’re as busy as any of the managers I know, beyond the lowest levels, they are certainly not making any time to inspect the actual work that anyone is doing, so they’ll base their decisions on what they know, and the people that shout out what they are doing or have done the most will be the ones they’re aware of doing anything.
