There's a coffee shop near me, attached to and co-operated by a climbing gear store, called arête. The proximity to the climbing store suggests one interpretation, but it is an excellent coffee shop.
that's pretty short for a "heyday," IMO.
Namely: "KrebsOnSecurity later found that reporting the abusive Facebook groups to a quarter-million followers on Twitter was the fastest way to get them disabled."
Frankly it does seem that you don't appear to have read or understood the information presented in the link you posted.
It is obvious to me that any bad PR is orders of magnitude worse for the business than the potential benefit of having even hundreds of thousands of criminals "engaging" on the platform.
It sounds like you'd be well positioned to offer some feedback, but I'd recommend against that without your practicing some empathy for the stage he's in with his education.
> "This project started from two points: as part of my PhD, I had to become very familiar with working with NOAA forecast results. Separately, an old tablet set up as a "Magic Mirror,” and was using a weather module that relied on the Dark Sky API, as well as my Home Assistant setup. So when I heard that it was shutting down, I thought, "I wonder if I could do this.” Plus, I love learning new things, and I had been looking for a project to learn Python on, so this seemed like the perfect opportunity! Spoiler alert, but it was way more difficult than I thought, but learned a lot throughout the process, and I think the end result turned out really well!"
This work is part of a larger body of research that seeks to understand whether organisms (like these conifers) will be able to respond to changing environments in a way that avoids their extinction. It is particularly interesting to study in vegetation, where movement is limited by dispersal and reproduction.
A frequent limitation to these studies, which this one shares, is that often it is assumed that these conifers' future climatic "ideal" (known as their "niche") is static, predicted by their historical niches.
However, there are several modalities among which conifers may change their climatic niche that we may not have been able to observe yet, namely: phenotypic plasticity and evolutionary adaptation. We don't know very much about how conifer species exhibit plastic responses to environmental stress, nor about how evolutionary adaptation may enable conifers to exist in novel (to them) environments.
These studies are useful, but as usual should be taken in light of their limitations.

Current air-source heat pumps can't produce hot water at temperatures necessary to drive radiators.
There are obviously already several major players in the industry (notably, Mitsubishi, but also more "DIY"-focused brands like "Mr. Cool") offering heat pump systems with air handlers, such as this.
But this approach seems to be much more integrated in ways that actually might make a difference.
But from an infrastructural standpoint I'd imagine that just putting a bespoke Linux distro on each of the phones and connecting them to the same network would enable the same kinds of orchestration you'd do in a "regular cloud."
Sorry, but I don't think you've interpreted the study well. You're right about the lack of interior warming - that's the premise of the study. But the study attributes this to the orographic effect of the relatively high elevation of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) - not any effect of heat buffering in the ice.
To determine this, they "flattened" (e.g. removed all influence of terrain from) the AIS, and ran global climate models over this modified terrain.
They determined that the terrain _itself_, which is the progenitor of orographic effects in the atmosphere, was responsible for the lack of interior temperature rise. Orographic effects at synoptic/continental scales can have a substantial impact on latent heat transport – they showed that here.
Perhaps thermal buffering has a place in the conversation too, but it's not mentioned in this paper.
Perhaps Netflix is not _breaking_ a law, which itself may have been written by "dilettantes", but this action certainly disabuses us of the notion that Netflix has any intention to adhere to the spirit of the law, which was to reduce racial and gender-based salary gaps.
One really must examine the individuals making this decision + their track record before we make judgments about the merits of this choice for folks other than the family. Does Yvon's track record with Patagonia align with my values and make me trust his choice as being truly "beneficial" for the planet? Yes.
Did the Chouinard family also avoid $700 million in taxes by "giving away the company" (e.g. putting the shares in one or more trusts, like Hobby Lobby family will). Also yes. [0]

I did think it was strange that they obfuscated the W/m^2 statistic by only presenting W/kg and kg/m^2. I suppose focusing on watts per kilogram better aligns with a breakthrough in installations with poor structural support for heavy panels.
I might just be bad at Cities Skylines.
