> But why would you control for population?
Because the atmosphere does not care about arbitrary political boundaries. If we take whatever total amount of CO2 emissions per year we decide the world needs to stay under and divide that up giving each country an equal share you get an unstable result.

For example let's say we agree on 4 x 10^10 tons of CO2/year. There are around 200 countries, so each country gets 2 x 10^8 tons per year.

Under that each person in Liechtenstein could live a lifestyle that required 5 000 tons of CO2/year.

In the US each person could only live a 0.6 ton CO2 lifestyle, which would require each person on average to cut their CO2 by a factor of 25. That's around what they use in Zimbabwe today.

In China each person could only live a live a 0.14 ton CO2 lifestyle, and would have to cut emissions by a factor of almost 60 to do that. That's around what Ugandans use today.

But wait...what if the US holds a constitutional convention and reorganizes? It could dissolve and each of its 50 states could become an independent country, and those countries could form a strong trade and defense alliance by treaty to make it so that they effectively share the CO2 shares.

Under that the world has around 250 countries instead of 200, so the per country share drops to 1.6 x 10^8 tons per year, but the American Union collection of 50 countries together has shares totaling nearly 8 x 10^9 tons. The people of the American Union can now enjoy a 24 ton lifestyle which is about 60% more than they have now.

China could do the same with their 33 provinces. In that world the share per country is 1.4 x 10^8 tons and the 33 countries that form the Chinese Union would have 33 shares giving them 4.6 x 10^9 tons, or 3.3 tons per person.

But why stop there? China is pretty good at tackling big things, so instead of turning each province into a separate country and putting together a 33 country Chinese Union, why not make each prefecture a country and put together a 333 country Chinese Union?

In that world, with ~200 countries not in the American Union or Chinese Union, 50 American Union countries, and 333 Chinese Union countries the per country share is 6.3 x 10^7 tons. The Chinese Union would have 333 of those shares giving them 2.1 x 10^10 tons or 15 tons per person which is a current US-level amount.

The American Union would have 50 shares giving 3 x 10^9 tons or 9.6 tons per person.

The EU would have 3.8 tons per person.

Liechtenstein would have to make do with 1600 tons per person.

In this system any country can get a bigger share of the world's CO2 emissions budget by splitting and forming alliances among the newly formed countries.

The limit of this would be a world of thousands or even millions of micro-countries, and where the CO2 allowance per person is about the same in all of them.

That's why mathematically per capita is the correct way to allocate.

I simply can't trigger a downward diagonal swipe on my phone. It starts immediately as a horizontal swipe, and then the downward component scrolls the whole game area downward, while not affecting the swipe angle.

And many of them are being bilked as well. The fitness industry is notoriously filled with hucksters and scams, and "trainers" rarely have any real training in kinesiology or exercise science.

> I'm curious, it's considered the norm to regularly see a doctor or dentist, do you think they're preying on their patients?

Once a year for a health checkup. Is that the norm for therapy?

> Mental health. There's obviously a more involved answer

The more involved answer is that "mental health" is not well-defined, so it's not developing anything. The only therapies that have shown to have any empirical validity, like CBT, train the user in tools to change their own behaviour and thinking, then it's on the user to employ the tools. Does a family doctor call you in once a week and watch you take the pills that address your physical ailment?

The best analogy for psychiatric therapy is physical therapy for recovering from an injury or surgery, except physical therapy has a well-defined end condition, which is when you understand how to do the exercises yourself. Then it's on you to do them. This is just not the norm for "mental health" therapy.
Indices are no good if you constantly do large amounts of inserts or updates (say, entire clickstream of a popular global site) - keeping them up to date will massively slow down the inserts/updates. Wheresas, in NoSQL, you can do as inserts as quickly as your disk can write data, and still query the dataset as if it had an index.

I just released my first SaaS as a 22-year-old CS student. It’s a free AI CSS animation generation service with a paywalled editor.

It would be curious to see UX timeline of what PS influenced, and what influenced it, in mouse age. A lot of desktop derivative products seem to hold on PS-like UI, it's all very mutually reinforcing. I'm not sure what iPad UX is like. I remember autocad products also adding ribbon system and it wasn't end of the world, but also very few ppl that I know end up migrating.

Part of me feels like it's... either very optimal for masses to learn because very few PSers (outside of photography) I know have professional peripherals (some have hotkey stickers on keycaps), vs lots of other creative fields have specialized decks/hardware to make streamline workflow.

Like part of me feels like there is a better physical hardware implmentation to manipulate all the curves/histograms other than moving around with mouse, but mouse+keyboard is... good enough.

Ehh, I tried it, like 15 years ago, but had to stop taking it for the reasons mentioned here:

https://medicalxpress.com/news/2024-04-qa-xylitol-teeth-swee...

What is the recommended daily dosage of xylitol for oral health?

"The recommended amount for cavity protection is 6 to 10 grams. And it's best to spread doses out throughout the day. So, if you want dental benefit from chewing xylitol-added gum, you should chew the gum for at least 20 minutes to extract the xylitol. That can be a lot of stress on the temporomandibular joints (in the jaw), so if you have problems with your TMJ, it's not a good idea to excessively chew gum."

That's a lot of Xylitol. It got expensive quickly, and I was heading towards TMJ dysfunction. Xylitol is also considered a high FODMAP, so if you are on a low FODMAP diet its best to avoid.
I think the "Jail everyone" reaction is some cases useful (my opinion changed recently, but i can't explain it shortly. And english isn't my best language), but this isn't the US issue. The US incarceration rate is 531 per 100.000, which is honestly a rate i thought was USSR level, and its youth incarceration rate is the worst in the world. Worst than Salvador or countries with real Cartel problems, worst than communist countries.

Easiest way to determine whether some health fad is dangerous snake oil: search for it on Twitter and determine the overrepresentation of blue checks.

Since my real identity is known to them via gmail, I pretty much lose all anonymity here as well (in their eyes at least).

Think about who your competitors are.

YouTube has (non-live, granted) courses on everything. And then there are the specialized course-ware sites. Many of them have a subscription model of "all you can eat" for a fixed price.

Your unique feature is that your courses are live. That is great for interaction with your audience, but can be a risk if you have a one or a few people that like to hear themselves talk, you know what I mean.

Live has also a drawback of necessarily being a scheduled event. How many potential clients do you leave out because their schedule doesn't fit with your lecture times?

All in all, I think it's a good idea, and can be very lucrative, if you find the right subjects and audience. Find that niche and you're golden.

GP's not saying that, what GP is saying is "good luck trying to talk to your therapist if you stop paying $$$".

I do think therapists are one of the professions that will be naturally displaced by LLMs. You're not paying them to be your friend (and they are usually very clear on that), so any sort of emotional connection is ruled out. If emotions are taken away, then it's just an input/output process, which is something LLMs excel at.

Glad you're enjoying it, thanks for playing.

Great comments and some new bugs on my list.

The "scroll down" is definitely odd, I haven't quite decided how to handle that.

The reason for it is the floating address bar on mobile browsers- the only way I can find to minimize them is an authentic scroll of the page body. window.scroll() methods or anything I try to do that doesn't literally display an overflowing body requiring a scroll, and it won't retract.

To have the address bar full height while I'm trying to play just kills it for me. I've got some great animations from the original version I haven't brought in yet; the scroll down might "reveal" the puzzle with an animation that feels more natural.
If you noticed, the article talked about aerodynamics in terms of frontal area and side fairings - on other words, the parts of the tractor interacting with the airstream.

The trailer's leading edge is, well, a large, flat, un-aerodynamic rectangle. Lots of potential for aero improvements there. I sometimes see boat-tails etc attached to trailers, but my understanding is that they are usually attached (an unattached at destination) by tractor owner, as trailer owner doesn't pay for fuel costs. Could be wrong on that though.
How's the glow on those petunias in pitch black? Those look absolutely amazing and the ad is hilarious enough to make me want to pick some up.

Yeah but you can do the calculations yourself.

I'm gonna use the most expensive storage technology I know (lithium-ion) and forego cheaper alternatives like pumped hydro just to make a point.

I'm gonna use data from lazard, because it looks like the most recent study[1].

- Cost of Lithium-Ion Battery Packs 139$/kWh [2]
- 139000$/MWh
- We want the levelized cost of electricity, so let's assume, again to make a point, that we have to throw the battery out after 500 cycles instead of it only operating at 80% charge. That's 139000$ / 500 = 278$
- The EU estimates that in a 80% renewable grid you need approx 30% storage capacity. So let's assume we need 40% storage capacity for a 100% grid.[3] That's 278$ * 0.4 = 112$
- Cost for solar 24–96$
- Cost for wind 24–75$
- Cost for solar + storage 136$ - 208$
- Cost for wind + storage 136$ - 187$
- Cost for new nuclear: 141–221$

So you can combine renewables with the most expensive/deluxe storage technology available today and it's still cheaper than nuclear.

They didn't really do a very good job of selecting marketing examples. The only good one, that shows off creative possibilities, is the knit elephant. Everything else looks like the results of a (granted fairly advanced) search through a catalog of stock footage.

Even search, in and of itself, is incredibly amazing but fairly commoditized at this point. They should've highlighted more unique footage.
how is this even possible? this feels like beyond a bug so maybe a hidden feature?
its not about ONE, but more about specialization and focusing to certain areas of some interest. Its better to have and to be able to monetize a lot of products, than having ONE, that is pretty difficult to press into a lot of products. Diversification is, like in stock trading, important. As Alphabet is already a horizontal business, it would be dumb for them not to do so and not to use synergies.

What are you talking about? Using sales tactics is not the same as abusing your market position or unfair competition. As for the "Only X rooms remaining", those numbers are not lies. I could easily confirm that by comparing with my backend system when working as a hotel manager. Just because you (or the EU) don't like those texts, doesn't mean they are lies. Some people might even find them useful.

> precluding hotels from offering cheaper rates is also a problem for consumers.

Then you don't understand the industry. It is impossible for booking or any third party sellers to exist if they can not offer the same rates to customers for the same rooms. People would just use booking.com to find availability and reviews, and then book with the hotel more cheaply. Then you have to ban all third party selling of hotels or actually anything at all. Hotels have always been free to not use booking.com and to not offer all rooms on booking.com

I find it very Soviet to state that a crime has been committed without mentioning what it is, and it's impressive that people here swallow it wholesale.

People use middle men such as booking for increased confidence in their travel reservations. Trust is something very important when dealing with distance sales, which is the entire travel industry. Consumers will not benefit by taking away those platforms.

I agree, and I would add that I think this IPO is the beginning of the end of what we were used to.

Are there any plans for a conditional way to enable/disable modules that doesn't use "count"?

For example:

# current method
module "foo" {
count = var.enable_foo ? 1 : 0
}

# better?
module "bar" {
enabled = var.enable_bar
}

Preconditions and postconditions fail the apply run if their condition doesn't validate, so those can't be used.

I'd also really like to be able to say in an output block, "this value doesn't have to exist, only display it if its parent module is enabled", again without the "count" attribute.
