The way to look at it is: there are two carbon cycles. A long cycle (proto-plankton dies, gets carbonized over millions of years, is pumped up, burned, and ends up in the atmosphere), and a short cycle (tree dies, is burned / rots, and ends up in the atmosphere).

If all we do is burn trees, there is no problem. We're not adding CO2 to the atmosphere that wasn't there before. The problem is that the stuff we pump up was not there before.

So capturing in trees is at best a temporary solution. In 20 / 30 years that tree dies and is burnt or rots, and so the CO2 is released again. At best it may buy us some time while we learn to do with less oil. But it's crazy talk to do a weekend in Thailand and then "offset it with trees". That's like saying "I was broke, but I found $100 on the street, now life can continue as before".

I won't even mention the fact that large parts of the "offset economy" are essentially fraud. People that own a swath of forrest declaring "I was going to cut these 10 km2 of forrest and prevent any new tree on it, but now I won't" just so that they can get carbon credits. Even if it is painfully obvious that they never intended to do that.

It would be carbon capture... but it feels like such a needlessly destructive method. It's up there with atmosphere manipulation in "bad ideas that we should only even consider if we're desperatre"
I should have mentioned that also: getting access to HIPAA-compliant models was the tipping point for me.

Oh. That’s bizarre. Never heard of that. Certainly not how any library I’ve used does it.

Also true of smut! Chuck Tingle recently signed with Tor, but I believe all of his earlier books (including classics like Pounded in the Butt by My Own Butt) are Kindle-only. Same for niche favorites like C.M. Nascosta
Should get paid? Or should clean it up? The problem is this is energy and resources that could be spent on actually solving the problem at its source instead of finding ways to maintain the status quo.
Nice overview.
I see there's space for some more networking tools since there's plenty of letters to go. Is there a hash table to pick the next letter?
I don't know if you can actually stitch the equations together though because they have different initial values, albeit in higher order derivatives than Newtonian mechanics cares about.

see https://blog.gruffdavies.com/2017/12/24/newtonian-physics-is... which was linked to from that new question:

> If we start at an arc length of 1/144 for example, it will run up the dome and arrive at the apex in 1 second. As we’ve seen, it has zero velocity and zero acceleration at this point, but moves off after anyway because it still has a positive value for snap.
> This is not at all the same thing as the Astros scandal. Astros didn’t break the agreed upon rules.

Sheesh, didn’t expect to re-litigate WS‘17 on HN today… I concede that there was at least some gray area in the codified official rules and the 2001 directive around electronic transmission, but it very clearly was a violation of the norms, IMO, and the Giants-Dodgers binocular incident in the 50s and its reception is good precedent.

> There is no “own notion” of ethics here, and it’s presumptuous and incorrect to suggest that exploiting games during a game exploit competition somehow reflects on ethics and makes the cheating “interesting”.

That’s not what I was suggesting was interesting to me. What interests me is the social phenomenon that is what the actual members of the community deem to be acceptable or in this case unacceptable, how the the community works to identify violations of norms, and then handle with the fallout.
The study is considering extremes, but that's not realistic.

Completely switching to renewables will be more expensive than planting some trees for instance. If we want the most cost effective methods, it will be a mix of both, maybe more on the "burning less fossil fuels" side than on carbon capture, but neither extreme make sense.

And it may turn out that a complete switch to renewables may not be enough anyways. We may need carbon capture too, and maybe some geoengineering.
To add to this, (from what I remember reading the study at the time) it was basically racing a car around a track (think lots of tyre squealing around corners), and found that the tyre wear was very high. I haven't seen a study which actually simulates somewhat "normal" driving (presumably because the wear is so low driving like that it's difficult to measure). Also didn't factor in a bunch of different stuff - tyres are effected by lots of things; compound, temperature, pressure, surface abrasion, etc. There might be an effect! But this study was very bad.
AFAIK this was pretty integral to the Calibre + DRM cracking plugin workflow that everyone used to buy Kindle books and then use them on non-Kindle platforms. In other words, it's Amazon welding shut another unauthorized fire exit.
You show me one of these that can be ridden [comfortably] in 2 degrees Fahrenheit with snow and ice everywhere and you have my money!
I've always thought of carbon capture as something you do later in the timeline, after burning carbon to get you to a society that can make the transition to green energy.

this might be the case for example if you need a certain amount of innovation and that requires a certain critical mass of brains thinking over the problem.

or maybe if you're an accelerationista, you want AI to solve it for you and burning carbon now to train it might make sense.

but I don't think the idea is to ever burn carbon to capture carbon.
Interesting that nobody every talked about tyre/brake dust until it became clear that cars aren't going away as we phase out fossil fuels, they're just going electric. Is this a serious environmental concern compared to the climate/emissions issue, or just the 'r/fuckcars mentality'?

Meanwhile, here in the UK, one of the more interesting alternatives - personal light EVs (ebikes/scooters) are being utterly demonized, and are never likely to be legal on the roads beyond the very limited 250W/15mph pedelec class of e-bikes. Wouldn't be surprised if even that is banned before long, too.
Recently I joined Tinder and Bumble and got more matches with scammers than with real people. I was not aware of pig butchering scams until I got curious about a young crypto-loving woman who helpfully taught me how buying and trading crypto works. Being inexperienced with crypto I just wanted to learn about the basics how to get started.

Long story short: After some time the woman suggested to try out some shady crypto trading website with a small amount which indeed made me about 50$ profit and everything could be successfully cashed out. In the next phase she asked me to repeat the same with at least 5k to make 100% profit.

Luckily all my alarm bells rang and I called it quits. However I can see how somebody less critical could fall for this. We need systems in place to prevent these schemes from succeeding.
That's rich of them
This is one of the truest comments I have ever read on here

For a personal network where you decide to use NAT on ipv6? Sure, go ahead.

Being forced into a CGNAT on ipv6 is just a dick move though. And I believe that's the kinda NAT that has coloured the opinions of most NAT for ipv6 detractors.

> Unfortunately, tyre pollution seems to be more hazardous and produced in greater quantities

None of your linked studies even come close to supporting this claim.

I don't doubt that tire particulates have negative health impacts on humans, but we don't really know which is worse yet.
It’s not in my head. Going back as far as 1992 George Bush was saying “The American lifestyle is non-negotiable” at an international gathering focused on climate change.

This has proven true. It’s also spread across the globe and is a major contributor to green house gas emissions.
Yes, but they had to be dragged there by Tesla and BYD.

That's true, but it's not very fun. A series of hands in which you determine how heavily to invest allows strategy to control for randomness. A single-hand five-card-draw showdown is a single decision about which cards to replace, and is largely determined by the shuffle, and the single bit of strategy "how many cards did the people before me ask for".
>His comments were all shared on Telegram too.

1. source?

2. Given the issues I outlined above with the word "shared", can you clarify what exactly is meant by that? Are we talking about the act of him posting to a group chat, or that other people made an conscious effort to disseminate his post?

>And the notes of the arrest here: https://www.cps.gov.uk/cps/news/man-convicted-intending-stir...

This doesn't provide any information to refute the points I presented in my prior comment.

>The guy in question pled guilty too. So he clearly admits responsibility for the attack on the hotel.

Don't confuse pleading with guilt. He faced years/decades in prison, along with any fines/legal bills. Pleading out could be a rational choice even if he was innocent.

>And that in itself should indicate that there’s more to this story than just “shitposting” on Facebook.

This is circular reasoning. If the thing being discussed was whether prosecutors were overzealous in prosecuting such tweets, you can't use the fact that he was prosecuted in arguing that arguing prosecutors weren't overzealous.

>The ironic thing is the biggest voices arguing that the UK is Orwellian don’t even realise that arrests have been happening in their own county for the same things and for much longer than in the UK.

>For example in America, 2 years ago: https://teslatelegraph.com/2023/11/14/a-man-has-been-sentenc...

>Or how about 10 years ago: https://www.mic.com/articles/54961/8-social-media-users-arre...

I'm not sure why you're still trying to argue such acts are criminal, when a few comments ago I specifically agreed with the possibility that such acts are criminal.

>[...] I agree such tweet might be illegal under US law (it plausibly meets the "imminent lawless action" standard) [...]
There's more variation. Every Windows system is basically alike. Anything unusual is a cheat. Every Linux system is not alike.

You could make one that works for Ubuntu.

Anti-cheat often tries to detect suspicious modules, for example. On Linux, that suspicious module could be a buggy or obscure driver for some obscure piece of hardware. On Windows, at least it's signed by Microsoft saying "this is a real driver for an obscure piece of hardware".
Still field hockey. Or for a slightly different twist, Lacrosse.
How is this surprising? He's an anarcho-capitalist, his profound belief is that people getting scammed deserve it. What's surprising to me is that he didn't do it earlier.

My bet is late 2025 for the same thing happening in the US.

Apple did NOT create the smartphone. When the iPhone released in 2007 it was a feature phone- no app store and famously missing featured like copy and paste. Besides Palm who you have mentioned there was Symbian and Windows Mobile which each had third party after market apps available.
If you wonder whether you could at least capture CO2 directly from the combustion process (instead of out of thin air), well yes that's cheaper but still too expensive.

The current CCS projects use highly concentrated CO2 sources, while the usual combustion process will generate air with only a few percent of CO2. There was an article last year about the Hammerfest LNG plant. They have a CCS project nearby, but found it cheaper to electrify the plant: https://industrydecarbonization.com/news/is-carbon-capture-a...
I think the article linked the wrong article? Because the article describes the linked study as "researchers grew human lung cells in a lab and exposed them to dust from car brakes and from diesel tailpipes", but the linked study is a cohort study of correlation, that doesn't involve any experimental manipulation and is nothing like that description (at least as presented in the abstract I have access to.)

They are quite useful as GPS/camera/general info lookup devices.

But virtue of having web browsers they also channel social media. Having social media come in through our phones does make it worse, but it was already bad even on laptops. (Writing this on a social media site using my phone is kind of funny).
Democrats and Republicans have different definitions of waste. The programs you are calling waste others call necessary aid. If you give Democrats carte blanche to cancel what they consider waste, maybe Musk’s rockets would be on the chopping block, or some program you consider crucial. That’s the problem with unilateral decision making of this sort, we live in a society of 300 million competing priorities. Can’t you see the problem with having one person decide how all our money is spent? Why can’t trans people fund trans priorities?
> with their increased weight and powerful torque, they produce a lot more tyre pollution than ICE vehicles.

This has been shown not to be true in a number of studies.
in theory, yes.

but as it is, the global net change in terms of forrest is negative. Hell, the amazon is losing 10.000 acres a day. And aside from direct human intervention, there's desertification that's not getting any better.

so in practice, no.
I tested it with several places I know very well from my "manually planed" tours. It was "aware" of them all. Even the more hidden recommendations.
My pet theory is that the "improved" technology of tennis rackets paved the way for pickleball.

"New" (to me, I'm 48 and played varsity in high-school) tennis rackets are actually now TOO light and the strings are too grippy, allowing for just stupid levels of spin and baseline control usually reserved for the pros. This severely reduces net play and increases a whole lot of court running.

Pickleball brings back that part.
Yeah, it's a pretty obvious tell that people haven't worked in any depth with large amounts of complex data when they are surprised that there are huge anomalies. Many, many assumptions do not hold at scale.

My mom's birth county's records building burned down in the 1940s. She has no birth certificate. When government agencies hear this, they ask if there are baptism records. The records from the church where she was baptized burned in the 1950s. It's been a massive pain for her, and government data systems are exposed to cases like this.

Data at sufficient scale is incredibly messy because many seemingly impossible things have a reasonable probability of being present.
It's the way it has been done since at least the 19th century, but sure.

This is a beautiful article. Absolutely fascinating.

Honestly it feels like it ought to be a coffee-table book. I'd buy it.
That is still talking about particulate counts, not health effects (the article does one study linking a particular constituent to salmon health effects.)
Did they rewrite it?
That's not true. Just like in every other time, many authors rely on multiple income streams, but book sales are an important part of that. Amazon would love for your assertion to be true, but we're not there yet.
What annoys me is that the assertion "there are no easy solutions" has become a slogan itself, often with the practical meaning that you shouldn't even attempt to understand the problem (let alone think about solutions) and instead let the people in power handle it. In the same sense, "its a complex issue" becomes a weird sort of chiffe for "it's so intractably complex that it's impossible for any mortal human to understand, so you shouldn't even try".

Another implication is also that there is no way at all to solve any of those problems, the best we could hope for is to manage them and mitigate the effects.

I think this line of thinking is ultimately authoritarian and paradoxically increases "simple solution" thinking or avoidance to think about political topics at all - because that would be all that's left to think about.

I like the approach of the OP much more, who argues that we should embrace the complexity of our currently world and try to understand it, instead of shying away from it. That's what I'd understand as "thinking for yourself".

I believe, the "simple solutions" can even have a useful role in this - as starting points. E.g. "why can't we just get more water from the Pacific to put out the fires?", "why can't the people in Gaza just go somewhere else?", "why can't we just build more housing?" etc. could be interesting questions to start tackling that complexity.
If you immediately discount the facts that Musk has been parroting Russian war propaganda on X and Trump immediately folded to Putin over Ukraine, I don’t know what to tell you.
> All you need is napkin maths. We gain energy by turning carbon into carbon dioxide. Now, we need the same energy to reverse it, but with a loss factor.

I'm of the opinion that no matter the level of cartoon villainy the oil industry is accused of - they're most likely guilty, but there's an inaccuracy here:

In hydrocarbons the majority of energy comes from the oxidation of hydrogen.

We should get rid of coal first, as it's irredeemable in this regard and methane second, as it's a greenhouse gas which tends to leak, but it's theoretically possible to burn hydrocarbons and turn the CO2 to coal and leave it like that with a net energy gain - it's just hugely impractical compared to not burning them in the first place.
The exhaust used to be really nasty until just a little while ago. Nobody was focusing on the less harmful emissions.

Now we mostly fixed it, so it's time to look at the other stuff.

Runners on 2B are allowed to try to steal signs if they can crack whatever set the pitcher and catcher have switched to (well they use pitch com now); the astros used live video feeds to pick up the signs even with no one on base as well as computer assisted methods to crack the codes, and then related the pitches to the batter via the dugout.
