Twitter/X is such a cesspool. The end of nitter is an occasion to completely stop using Twitter, and instead go to the fediverse, subscribe to a newspaper.
Taiwain's giving everyone a democracy lesson. They're properly countering misinformation, and doing so without endangering free speech.
Notably, Taiwan has resisted calls for tougher laws that would require social media platforms to police their sites; a proposal to institute such rules was withdrawn in 2022 after free speech concerns were raised.
Could a decrease in population be a factor leading to China having a lower environmental impact?
Less people and lower GDP would probably mean lower energy consumption (or at least slower growth), which China produces in large part with coal. Less overall consumption in food and other products could lessen environmental impact in other ways.
This article focus on GDP. The earth isn't shrinking because human population shrink. If the pie is earth's carrying capacity, it means a bit more pie for each inhabitant.
The amount of effort and resources that's required to collect taxes and catch cheaters is mind-boggling.
Many countries would benefit from simplifying the tax code, scrubbing a few loopholes. ie make it harder to cheat, cheaper to collect, so the resources get spent somewhere else.
Finally! I wish OpenSSH also plan making RSA optional at build time, and set a timeline for removal shifted 1 or 2 years after DSA.
We are also likely to start exploring a post-quantum signature algorithm soon and are mindful of the overall size and complexity of the key/signature code.
That's great news, if OpenSSH contributors commit to adding post-quantum cryptography, it's bigger news than DSA removal.
That's promising but also very, very early development. It's too early for the hype and such headlines. This treatment still have to succeed in preclinical trials, then multiple clinical trials.
The research is still in its early days and the next step will be pre-clinical animal trials.
It'd be great if proven effective, but most treatment as this stage of development fail because they're either ineffective in human trials, or have bad side effects. A small minority succeeds and improve patients life.
Drinking a little isn't necessarily an issue. It's good to be mindful of quantities as you are.
The goal of Dry January is to either take a break or reduce consumption for a month, everyone can pick a goal. A periodic break helps manage consumption. People who participate often end up drinking less for the remainder of the year.
That's why there need to be carbon (import) taxes.
Selling oil and gas should be less profitable. Selling manufactured products built using old and gas should be less profitable.
