Our climate is changing and we need research like this to ensure that we can still grow food productively in regions where weather is causing crops to fail.

actually it appears as though the House voted today to change the definition of anti-semitism to include criticism of the state of Israel, so in fact it now is anti-semitic to point out those things.

You get a qualified tradesperson to wire it properly into your electrical distribution.

Russia needs to cede that territory in the interests of peace.

geo engineering is a stopgap solution. it enables the continuation of fossil fuel burning, and rampant over consumption. it does nothing to prevent ecosystem collapse in our oceans, decline of breathable air or extinction of native species.

when you hear “geo engineering”, think of “clean coal” and “sustainable aviation fuel,” because they are one and the same

it’s pro hoc, not cum hoc. which is to not say that it is not objectively, very funny.

surely the real loophole is just to rip the video to a torrent and endlessly seed it, then you’ll never die

I feel like capitalists are waiting on some magic solution like some chemical we spray into the air or a miracle new fuel source.

The established suggestions from scientists (“fly less, stop buying SUVs/Trucks, eat less meat, consider a heat pump and solar panels” etc) doesn’t support the narrative that we can continue unabated infinite growth with no consequences.

illegal where? do you think a website hosted in Russia or Pakistan is going to care about an american family whose details get listed there?

Compliance person here. Background checks are run by a third party who we contract to gather information from authoritative sources like state agencies, governments and credit reference agencies.

No serious company would purchase profile data from a data broker.

i don’t think there are any. priority is based on how much you think you could take rival vehicles in a fight.

i thought he was doing a poo

in order to get his extreme version of Brexit through parliament, he purged everyone in his party who didn’t bend the knee. as a result quite a bit of stupid legislation was passed that made for good tabloid headlines but ultimately is piss poor quality because all the real politicians with experience were kicked out.

hundreds and hundreds of hours squashing people with the Manta

IMO yes, but true of men too. If someone is interested in dating then they are on one or more dating apps or sites, and that is the safe front door they have created to date on their terms.

i’m quite into:

  • competitive cooking shows where the chefs are regular folks who have real personalities (example: netflix barbecue showdown)
  • shows where people restore rusty cars and then try and sell them, often focusing on the economics of running a garage and the things that can go wrong when buying ancient vehicles. (example rust valley restorers)

the closest you’ll get is probably SOC II Type 2 or ISO 27001. While nowhere near perfect, those certifications validate that organisational controls such as change management, employee background screening, SDLC and production access controls functioned over the past 12 months. An external audit by an accredited specialist is required to obtain those certifications.

quite aside from the question of how you hack thousands of pagers to make them explode, what are we carrying around in our daily lives that are one internet command away from blowing up?

yes. in great numbers. and then they go on to purchase things they see. otherwise companies wouldn’t invest in them.

fuck me i tried to read this and instantly developed cancer in both my eyes

a pretty grafana dashboard? peak web traffic looks a lot nicer than i thought!

yeah. That kind of money is top 5% of homes in most of Europe outside very wealthy areas and districts like Zurich. In the UK the average house price is about £300k ($400k)

you make that comment, in a week where we have had a megacorp public assassination of a whistleblower and cypherpunk crypto money has risen to a record high value versus government money?

Hey when you have dual citizenship then it’s legal for one country to revoke that citizenship.

If this is okayed then the next government will presumably be the last. So if that’s not Biden then he is comfortable handing over the torch to whomever wins. That doesn’t seem like a particularly nice choice to have to make.

$100k

that’s ten times what it costs to install domestic solar, battery storage across all of Europe including major cities. Why is it so expensive? Panels are ~$200 each online and an inverter is $5k for a really good one.

A quick google search shows prices more in line with my expectations (sources: https://www.forbes.com/home-improvement/solar/solar-panel-costs-texas/ and https://www.energysage.com/local-data/solar-panel-cost/tx/)

an aide on the other end of the phone will greet you and then advise they are transferring you to speak to the president.

Yup, but you have to think “how would malicious software/spyware/whatever get in our source code and if it does, how would we detect it?”

that’s where ISO and SOC II add value and give some assurance that detective, preventative and corrective controls exist and are working to prevent an issue.

If the company maliciously inserts back doors into closed source code and sells it like that, no amount of external audit is going to defend against that because they’ll just hide the code from the auditors.

In the first mission of Battlezone, it’s possible to travel out of the map and find a 1960s lunar lander that you can enter and pilot. It’s equipped with a one of a kind super weapon that plays trance music as you fire it.

Unfortunately it’s only available in the first mission and you can’t take it with you to subsequent missions.

I’d love a small box with a button that literally just calls my phone, has a mic and speaker and nothing else, no screen, no software, no proprietary lock-in. just a button.
