> BYD will soon start deploying its 1000 kW ultrafast charging stations in China. The first batch of 500 chargers will begin operating in early April

> ZEEKR unveiled a 1.2 Megawatt EV charger

So it's possible. Hard to do though, 1-10MW of available capacity is hard to come by, infrastructure is not ready. Well, gas station infrastructure was built over more than a century of gas domination
> China hold sway on some critical part of the supply chain like minerals…

And industry personnel - skilled and otherwise, who are willing and able to staff the U.S.-based factories. (Which apparently will very shortly be booming.)
This article is centered around Hetzner as a cloud provider but I'm not sure I'd trust Hetzner for anything actually important. It's been known to boot regular, paying customers off the platform without appeal, without prior announcement and without giving proper time to back up data and move the service elsewhere.
Sweetener saccharin shows surprise power against antibiotic resistance
Took a trip to Canada with my brother in his new EV. Trying to get an EV spot at the hotel was a nightmare and when one finally opened up, the charger was incompatible. Most charging stations weren't in convenient locations and the ones that were, were slow and required you to pay through an app. I'm not anti EV at all, but the experience of dealing with charging issues outside of the day to day routine was pure shite.
I don't necessarily agree with GP's comment but they do have a valid point.

> We could solve this problem in a few years with technology if we really wanted to.

Everybody wants to solve the problem with technology. What if, the solution is just plain old hard work like planting trees, conservation, better recycling, better laws that help in saving ecosystem. But who would do that. So let's keep on creating problems with technology and then solve them with more technology.
Zeihan as a source? That's... optimistic. More entertainer than analyst.
Premature to write off 1B+ on the birth rate issue. Remember peak oil? We adapt. Alternatives exist (and will).
you phone literally knows when you're going to sleep, when on toilet, what cake did you have on your birthday. so you can ask it to tell you exact trips you took, and you can calculate when and how you can charge and for how long, from that data.
And to your point, if you are watching this, and trying to cynically use a one-off example to discredit years of reliable journalism, that too is a moment of character, and I think as important as the story itself.

A lot of people just talk a lot. Even when she's alone, I'm near someone who probably talk on the phone 1-2 hours a day. That's in addition to all of the work and actual physical socializing.

Also, families talk a lot, and many couples are fairly chatty.

I meant to comment on you being on the low end of the range, but after typing that all I can think about is how hard it is to properly isolate variables when doing this study. Quite a lot to control for!
TikTok only succeed because it came from a large country then? A country that doesn't even speak english, nor any european language. Oh, that was because the Chinese government was behind it with much money and influence says the EU.

So Nestle can only succeed because it comes from Switzland? A non-european country within the EU. ARM succeeds because it is British and outside the EU.

Lets face it, the EU cannot create a) global cloud services (aka AWS), b) global search engine (aka google), c) global social media and d) global tech infrastructure (i.e. GPU chips). Only everyone else can do those things because .... well because the EU has so many separate cultures and languages. So cooperation is impossible.

EU can build giant particle accelerators, a space agency and a bureaucracy to stifle any innovation that isn't lead by some large established european consultancy company. EU can organise a huge increase in military spending. The EU can build fences around europe to ensure refugees don't get in.

But the EU cannot build a single search engine of global note. Yeck Google is simply too good. Even DuckDuckGo has managed to become a competitor but the EU? Too hard. Too fucking hard for the EU.

Fuck I'm sick and tired of hearing the poor EU complain about technology. It's been long enough and yet the EU cannot seem to compete. Remember when it came clear that the NSA was spying on European leaders? Well what has happened since? Nothing. Nichts. Rien. Niente. Nada. Nic.

The EU is rapidly becoming a giant open-air mueseum for tourists coming from countries that can do tech.
I’ve been thinking about your second point. Some speculation:

Assuming that Trump, Musk, and Putin each need something from one of each other. Assuming that the siloviki want to quietly rule Russia.

A mercenary uprising would be convenient cover for Putin to endure exile in, say, the Caribbean. Security by FSB, siloviki split up their rule across Russia, etc. Operating from Guyana, Putin could deprive ESA of access to the French Guiana spaceport, handing it over to Musk.

The entire Caribbean fell into 10% tariffs except for two: Guyana (38%) and Cuba (0%).
Yes. 80-97% reduction in vehicle-animal collisions, per: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00063...

You're being obtuse. With those points I could argue the US isn't a single market either!

1. California has 10 million Spanish speakers
2. Every state has its own regulations and legislation (and taxes!)

But I don't think you would try to make that argument... right?

Free movement of labour and goods make a single market. The other stuff is just normal operational costs of doing business.

Also, and you know this: most of the EEA uses the Euro; the countries that don't are exceptions
I have a couple use cases in mind and am excited to give it a whirl. Thanks for creating this!
Dark clouds are only dark from below. Look at a satellite feed for comparison.
I'd be interested to know what search query you actually used. It's also been a while since I compared DDG and Google result quality. Maybe I'm getting poorer results than in the past. Queries on the theme of "child sexual abuse statistics US by year" don't get me anything very useful from DDG, much more advocacy around headline prevalence figures than anything relevant to incidence. (Statista does reflect a drop, but I didn't want to make an account to see their sources. Fair, my fault, I can't evaluate that well.)

The bibliography is interesting and useful but not immediately evaluable, and seems mainly Canada-focused. The Stop It Now/D2L data is very clear up front that it relates to prevalence and not incidence, a distinction that matters for reasons to which we'll return in a moment. The UNH data substantiates some level of decrease since the early 90s, as does every other source, but disagrees with itself on magnitude in different places and comes out of one researcher's shop, which does not invalidate it but does mean I'd like to see someone else produce something similar before I weight their novel results too heavily.

I guess maybe we have differing definitions of "reliable," but I think you and I have clashed on this subject before. I don't blame anyone for assuming that a victim of such abuse would tend to overestimate its prevalence, and I try to watch out for the tendency in myself, but what's all the anger about?

The difference between prevalence and incidence matters because the former tells us how many people have been abused as children, and the latter tells us how frequently children are abused over time, which is the thing we're actually talking about. How we count multiple instances of abuse against the same person confounds everything, and intuitively I would expect prevalence by victim (ie for a given victim how frequently they themselves were abused) to follow something like a power-law distribution, but in general if we just take the headline number of "X total kids" it's hard to see how that gets us to a nuanced understanding of incidence rates that lets us talk knowledgeably about how and to what extent the shape of this problem is changing over time.
Why don’t you listen to the scientists? The scientists are more inline with the left.

I’m saying this as someone who hates leftist bs.
Fortunately real scientists do believe this stuff so the comments from some random climate denialing bloke on a forum are irrelevant.
What technology specifically has caused the clouds to shrink?
I know this comment is just a list of fully-general counterarguments that can be dropped (with small modifications) on any scientific article, but you've invoked Poe's law. If this is parody, then it's an excellent parody; but if it's not, it's an almost maximally-uninsightful comment.
I'm not disagreeing, but we don't even need technology, all we need is the political will to truly stop subsidising fossil-based energy.

Mike Daisey, the fabricator in question, had a completely headspinning excuse:

>Everything I have done making this monologue for the theater has been to make people care. I’m not going to say I didn’t take a few shortcuts in my passion to be heard. But I stand behind the work. It’s theater. I use the tools of theater to achieve its dramatic arc, and of that arc and that work, I am very proud, because I think I made you care, Ira, and I think I made you want to delve.

It's reminiscent of Hasan Minhaj's 'emotional truths'. Just such a casual abandonment of objective reality as if that's not going to set off nuclear-level alerts.
Light cars like Honda civic hybrid have much better MPG yet it’s EPA range is 519 miles vs 510 for that lucid air.

There’s a few outliers as a Toyota Prius at 644 miles, but gas is heavy so tank sizes adjust with fuel efficiency.
My pet theory is that we are only a few decades away from turning earth into venus 2.0 at this point. It feels like we keep finding new catastrophic tipping points every few months at this point.

It is worth mentioning that we are already in the last few hundred million years of earth's lifespan -- the sun was much dimmer last time the planet had this much GHG and warming going on. We may have already set the conditions for the oceans to boil away and the heat death of our planet without massive geoengineering.

I mean the topic of the article here is Tariffs Can Help America, and my comment was in relation to that idea. The topic was not "Trump's Ideas Are Always Smart," or "Trump is Good at Execution," or "The World Will Benefit from Donald Trump." I have not taken and therefore don't have to defend any of those positions. The tariff on the Falkland Islands may have some point or it may indeed be super dumb, but this is immaterial to my point.

The position I have taken is, I have already seen reports of countries that are willing to negotiate, and it's a good guess that Trump will ask them to buy more American stuff, and some of them will be able to. This will lead to improved earnings at US companies. Moreover, many of those companies are trading at a discount to their usual valuations right now. That's all.

I don't disagree which is why playing out a rape fantasy is generally called "consenting non-consent." There are rules, boundaries, safe words, lots of aftercare, just generally good communication all around is a necessary condition.

Yeah anyone criticizing the mass incarceration in El Salvador as unjust should really familiarize themselves with the crimes of the gangs down there. The obliteration of a social scourge in a single presidency was nothing short of miraculous. That's why Bukele was re-elected at the highest levels in history - his people genuinely love him for it. The right to a fair trial is great in places that have law and order, but when you witness beheadings, mass executions, torture, etc. daily, you won't miss that right at all.
Interesting article but not one of much substance. The parallels they point out between current events and historical ones are undeniable, but so are the holes in the narrative surrounding the relationship between quality of life and globalization.

To be clear I do not support the Trump administration in any way - but the attitude I see in this article, that the inequalities and issues that lead to fascism and isolationism are small problems to be solved once everything is back in proper order and the dumb rabble has lost momentum, strikes me as a very privileged perspective. If we don't look deeper into why things have reached their current state and only decry the symptoms we're bound to be here again sooner or later.

No, though HMACs can play a role. It was a protocol developed specifically for establishment of secure, encrypted, authenticated, and integrity-protected sessions.

I've been racking my brain trying to remember (rarely accessed memories from ~27 years ago). The basic challenge is that unless authenticity, key exchange, and integrity are managed simultaneously during session establishment, there are attacks possible against whatever was omitted. There was a protocol developed at that time that did all of the above as part of session establishment, but I don't remember it really taking off (IIRC, it was patent-encumbered, and that was an obstacle to adoption).
Is there a repository to reproduce this?
Your comment still reads like watts are energy, which they are not. Maybe you mean "watt-days instead of joules". Watts/day is nonsense, and joules/day are watts. (With some coefficient)
> My pet theory is that we are only a few decades away from turning earth into venus 2.0 at this point. It feels like we keep finding new catastrophic tipping points every few months at this point.

Given that the glaciers should’ve all melted by now, and that we can’t even predict with certainty whether it will rain tomorrow, I wouldn’t pay much attention to predictions.
On the other hand batteries energy capacity is commonly rated in Watt hour.

Watt*day is a perfectly cromulent energy statement although a bit misleading.
The funny thing is,
Daisey was not the first time narrative journalism – aka documentary media – has waltzed down the path to fiction.
Famously, we have the film Nanook of the North and the book Wisconsin Death Trip,
case studies I covered when I was in journalism program, before TAL.
Today, we might call these works docudrama,
but the blurring of the line between drama and journalism remains.
As a neutral reader, it read more like a dismissal.
> You may be overgeneralizing here, only the US has enshrined freedom of expression in their constitution.

Sounds very progressive considering voting for the African American population came about in 1965, and having McCarthyism in the 50s (which was basically persecution of free speech and freedom of expression, the same thing the Trump administration is doing atm).

Freedom of expression being "enshrined" in the Constitution sounds good, but if it comes with no voting if I am black, and with being persecuted for leaning left, maybe that's not exactly "freedom of expression".

Ooo. I want to be able to do an expression in a format string.

Instead of:

format!("{}:{} wasn't able to connect to host {}.", file!(), line!(), db_opts.hostname);

I'd rather do:

format!("{file!()}:{line!()} wasn't able to connect to host {db_opts.hostname}.");

Yes, expressions in format strings can be abused, but knee-capping a pretty standard case (`instance.field`)to prevent outlier bad behavior seems like a premature optimization.
I'll respond in good faith too: note that I said "anecdote" - maybe I should have said something like "exclusively personal experience"

I'm not even using Docker. I use Podman in rootless mode installed using the system package manager. Even if an app found a way to break out of the container, it wouldn't have elevated privileges.

I'm not saying security is about perfection, but encouraging people to curl something to the shell with sudo is poor practice. I get that it is a newer piece of software, so I am forgiving. But getting it packaged into Homebrew, WinGet, Nix, etc. is more ideal. Some of them may verify a signed package, ensure reproducible builds, track changes for proper uninstalls, etc.
This seems to be an issue in the PaaS space. The guy who runs CapRover illegally changed the license on it to be nonfree, without copyright assignments from any of the contributors who worked on it when it was free software.

https://github.com/caprover/caprover/blob/master/LICENSE

It’s deceptive, because it starts out saying APACHE LICENSE but then adds a bunch of nonfree provisions to it, making it NOT Apache licensed.

It’s especially galling when all of these people are trying to nickel and dime their users with this open core nonsense while their business wouldn’t exist if not for docker, k8s, postgres, mysql, node, php, all being open source.

Personally, I think the issue is affordable housing. Whether it is renting or owning is another discussion.

High taxes will definitely encourage people to utilize their housing stock.

But encouragement is not really enough for foreign investors.

Instead the local government should be able to use housing with no registered occupants and rent it out to people in need. naturally there will be a due process, and the owner should be able to collect their rent payments at the municipality offices and take over the lease themselves.

This would generate realistic housing prices.

But then again - the oligarchy wouldn't like that an asset it made less speculative for them.

> Which benefits Mexican workers and by osmosis the US: the richer MX is, the more likely they'll become consumerist, and the US companies tend to sell a lot of consumerist goods.

I was taking a specific example to illustrate why a general rule makes sense. It may be that your view of the specific example might be right, but that doesn't do anything to explain why the general rule isn't necessary. Suppose it's Vietnam instead of China. There's no similar type "osmosis" there. The particular country doesn't matter when you're trying to stop playing "whack-a-mole." At most, your argument might justify leaving very specific countries out while it still makes sense to keep the general rule for everyone else, and lo and behold Mexico wasn't on the list of new tariffs.
There’s an even more surface-level commonality between these published fabrications: they’re all narratives in service of US State Department approved talking points, it’s like one level above stenography. And mainstream media is just repeating the same pattern today with coverage of Gaza.
There are always people for whom renting is a better idea than ownership. Especially younger people and many single people, but also those who want to be able to move easily for career or family reasons.

Also, capital upkeep and repairs are difficult to save for for those living hand-to-mouth. (And some people just like not having the logistical responsibility for said capital upkeep and repairs.)

Clouds have two main impacts: reflect incoming, shortwave radiation back to space and absorb (and re-radiation up and down) outgoing, longwave radiation from the surface. The interplay and relative proportion between these two impacts has long been a challenge and depends upon the cloud altitude (low/high), composition (water,ice), and optical depth.

My dad actually did a form of this, at the encouragement of a teacher.

He was working out the proof to a problem in college and got stuck half way through. He had the problem and the answer, so he worked it from both ends and got stuck in the middle. He had to present the process in class, so he went to the professor for help.

His professor (who had done it originally) couldn't remember how anymore, and told him when he got to that point, he should say "and from this, it's obvious that..." and just jump to the next step.

That's exactly what he did, and no one in class (half hour into the class) even noticed.
