When you use a Tor hidden service you don't use an exit node, your connection ends within the Tor network. As for the internal communication attack there is no reason at the time of writing to believe one has occurred, and it's unclear if their statistical attack on Tor's crypto would work or if it is possible: https://blog.torproject.org/rumors-tors-compromise-are-great...

Logging is actually only a tiny fraction of why the Amazon is being cleared: https://www.internetgeography.net/what-are-the-causes-of-def...

It's mostly being used for agriculture.

The University of Colorado has a research group that has been working on evaluating the efficacy of cloud seeding to increase winter snowpack in mountains. Here's one of their papers: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1917204117

No, but there is a use case for people whose threat model allows for identifying themselves to Snapchat but not for being identified by their ISP or government. Access has also been blocked in various countries over the years and a Tor service restores access.

Now that they have a web client they should consider making an official Tor service like Facebook and Twitter have. It has been used for activism in the past.

If this looked familiar to you but isn't quite the program you remember, you might have used Storybook Weaver (1994) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storybook_Weaver

I wonder if there's a market for a new word processor for children? When I volunteer in schools students seem to be made to use Google Docs or Office, which I imagine is initially overwhelming.

What they're really signaling is that they think people need to die.

It's never occurred to me that there are places that don't get lightning storms. I'm guessing that also means you've never had the joy of getting your garden or car paint ruined by hail?

The version I played was the CDX, which bizarrely you could put batteries in and carry around like a Discman: https://retroconsoles.fandom.com/wiki/Sega_CDX/Multi-Mega

Like something out of a Jules Verne novel! Looking forward to updates if they find the new species they expect down there.

This is hilarious. I love the "whitepaper".

Here's the original post on Reddit where an employee rescued this machine. Includes additional photographs: https://www.reddit.com/r/Denver/comments/ugdlnb/i_now_have_t...

For the third year in a row, every chick born at Antarctica's second largest Emperor penguin colony dies.

Very exciting if this means PWA support on iOS can now reach parity with Android.

Now if only someone could replicate the fan noise and that old computer smell.

I love Yaupon. I found it was an easy swap when I looked for a sustainable replacement for my coffee habit.

I wish we had built a bunch of Cassinis- one for each gas giant. There's so much about the outermost planets we don't know. Voyager missed the weather changes as Uranus and Neptune changed seasons- a flyby just isn't enough!

Meteors from our own solar system impact the atmosphere every day. One estimate for the frequency of an interstellar meteor hitting Earth is about once per decade: https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucedorminey/2019/04/17/inters...

Your title is fine! I just didn't know the context of what was going on with the project and its dependencies.

Thank you for this breakdown. It wasn't clear to me at first what was going on from OP's link.

I wish this page elaborated on what "Additional domains used to enable parts of site functionality" means. What additional functionality is available when I use the different links?

I removed ", says IPCC" because it didn't fit in the character limit for titles, not for any political reason.

To me a sustainable lifestyle would be one where if every person alive today's annual consumption was at the same level humanity’s demand for ecological resources and services could be regenerated over the course of that year- effectively balanced. I'm a fan of Earth Overshoot Day and their approach to this problem so I am using their definition: https://www.overshootday.org/about-earth-overshoot-day/. A sustainable way of life therefore looks like the average life of someone in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal etc. I'm not holding up the average lives of people in these places as ideal (and I'm not considering anything other than consumption) but instead realistic about what level we can consume at with our current level of technology. Within that consumption envelope we need to figure out how to improve healthcare and education outcomes.

That's why I expect we're headed for tragedy- we can't and won't collapse everyone's consumption to that level. The people who consume the least will be the most hurt by the ecological consequences of what we in the high-consumption regions of the world do.

"Salvaging a decent future requires keen awareness, quantitative assessment, deliberate preventive action, and—above all—recognition that prevailing assumptions about human identity and destiny have been cruelly misshapen by the profoundly unsustainable trajectory of the last 150 years."

Brilliantly said. I believe a lot of resistance to the idea that our way of life is unsustainable stem from grief that the future that we were "promised" by the last century of media and marketing isn't coming. The first step towards adapting to the imminent collapse of the high-consumption lifestyle due to energy and resource limitations is to process this grief.

Not OP but I imagine they mean TRAPPIST-1 and perhaps Proxima Centauri.

"The blow to young people’s confidence appears to be more profound than with previous threats, such as nuclear war, Dr. Clayton said."

Something that is missing when comparing anxiety about climate and nuclear war is that there is always a chance nuclear war won't happen and cooler heads will prevail. Climate change is already happening.

This is awesome. How cool must it be to come back to a beloved project 20 years later and add all the stuff you wish you could have the first time around?

I see the wiki says this was the Mega Drive version but the one I'm familiar with was the Saturn one. Does anyone know if they are different? The screenshots are familiar.

If the logo and sound effects of this game sparked some nostalgia for you but this wasn't the game you expected, you might have actually played the sequel instead like me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sting!

Will the reactors be mothballed, converted, or torn down? Ideally if political winds change and the reactors are mothballed, could they be restarted?

I live near the Fort St. Vrain Generating Station, a nuclear plant converted to gas in the 90s, and I often think about what could have been if it had been made commercially viable earlier in its life.
