You're lucky. My kids think that tiktok is the more reliable source of knowledge vs wikipedia.

Realistically, you wouldn't consider it for long. Unless you've got some huge backer, I don't think it's an easy way of making a quick buck

Given that India contributed 2.5 metric tons of CO per capita in 2018 vs 18.44 metric tons in the USA, he'd be better staying in the same place. (source)

They would probably continue to deny it! "It was just a disc"

Fortunately, the authors of the agreement put the reasons behind the agreement into the document... (from Wikipedia, and the agreement)
The aim of the agreement is described in its Article 2, "enhancing the implementation" of the UNFCCC through:
(a) Holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2 C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 C above pre-industrial levels, recognizing that this would significantly reduce the risks and impacts of climate change;
(b) Increasing the ability to adapt to the adverse impacts of climate change and foster climate resilience and low greenhouse gas emissions development, in a manner that does not threaten food production;
(c) Making finance flows consistent with a pathway towards low greenhouse gas emissions and climate-resilient development.

I don't see why not. Why can't they just be more clever about their whitelist? Presumably this isn't an issue for other networks?

I don't think knuth's 3 volumes have dated at all- they're still the definitive computer science tomes.

I understood this as the hack whitelisting malware which should have been blacklisted... So it was used correctly.

When it is refined, this is going to be such a disruptive technology that it is going to make DRM / Music piracy look like a very simple problem.

Yes - and if you had a GPS then the mapping would be almost automated - say if you could use an open map such as openstreetmap then it would be a neat application of a mesh network + the data that the people on the ground are providing - to me this could be quicker than hand drawing maps.

haha - I submitted the article and just read this - yeah, you're probably right on the last one of these! Probably right on my understanding of computers too!
I think that the clip is generally OK - my main outrage which prompted me to submit the article was the ignorance of the people going on the course, any my sympathy for the programmers they work with!
