Did you know that the famous Carnot efficiency of an ideal cyclic heat engine does not require this engine to run on a Carnot cycle? It holds for *any* reversible cyclic engine!
Curious to know why? Then buckle up for a short but fun thread!

I've been interested in ocean-based biological carbon capture for a while, but never gone too deep into the current tech status
Just came across a really good summary of the state of play from @Ocean_Visions:

Daily Affirmation: End to end encryption provides some safety, but it doesn't go far enough.
For decades our tools have failed to combat bulk metadata surveillance, it's time to push forward and support radical privacy initiatives.

re: life on mars (i know i'm late)
if it turns out being real, we'll have many interesting answers!
if it shares the same base molecules as earth life (nucleotides, amino acids, carbs, phosopholipids), then i think it is warranted to guess that either:

The most horrifying thing though is to read the comments on news articles and the discussions well-educated Australian friends are having on social media--only a tiny minority seem to be concerned with the expansion of authoritarian control in Australia during the pandemic.

This paper presents seven global #pinchpoints where a clustering of global critical systems converges with regions of volcanic activity, presenting a new landscape for catastrophic volcanic risk.

mapping jk to escape in nvim worked great until I decided to write some code involving dijkstra's algorithm
This is the first actual data I've seen from the the Nauka incident, and it's... quite a ride
pretty sure the ISS is not supposed to do that

I had forgotten I have a little old @Raspberry_Pi beside my desk creating timelapse videos of the ISS Live stream. It created this little masterpiece of the start of the #Nauka shenanigans yesterday. More info to follow /1

the whole "mask discourse", shitty studies about effects of "mask mandates", the prevalence of the cursed virus -- all downstream of the fact that WHO/CDC/etc *explicitly recommend against* wearing N95 masks (which are actually effective). Buy and wear an N95. Grainger has them. https://twitter.com/gojomo/status/1421215934958608385
thinking about this more, the real cypherpunk answer is "all markets should be black markets"
that was kind of the point of the original technology, no?

what is the most impressive collective action that has been organized via crypto or smart contracts other than black markets?

This whole exchange is really interesting, but this is a really core point. Most of the conversation from outside the space sector is just so disconnected from the physical reality that their predictions aren't worth much

@Aelkus @nils_gilman People who think the billionaire space race is just a coat of paint on foundations laid by the NASA-Cronyist era of space... they basically don't understand space tech. SpaceX, Blue Origin, Vi…

Well, it's not going to de-orbit just yet, but the new Russian ISS module isn't going... great

New SpaceForce tracking data shows Nauka has manuevered to a 224 x 347 km orbit, consistent with the 15 m/s delta-V reported by Roskosmos.

When a company gets hacked, they can’t leak information they don’t have.
