Actually it's even easier to do nothing if you throw up your hands and say it won't work anyway.

The earth will warm more than 2°C from "baseline" no matter what. Now the 1 trillion ton additional CO2 is an interesting benchmark, but I would guess staying under it has very little to do with energy consumption, and almost everything to do with advances in carbon-neutral and carbon-negative power generation technologies to be invented and scaled over the next century.

But not generating the power in the first place just isn't a choice. If it's a hard-line ultimatum I think a billion people could die trying to fight/enforce it.

The takeaway from OP is that climate changes. It changes quite dramatically. And it changes with or without humans in the mix. Maybe we need to spend that $100 trillion getting more adaptable to changing climate rather than entertaining some fantasy that we can control Mother Nature within some sliver of a temperature range relative to her broad historical performance.

Why on earth would I or anyone advocate for either of the extremes you're proposing here?

Acquiring skills is valuable (not just by reading books - there are lots of ways to acquire skills; yes, including watching TV) but relaxing is also valuable. Partying is valuable.

And it's fun, too.

Likewise, rewarding achievement is a good idea, but so is comforting your son if he's upset that he performed badly at something he tried hard at.

And I'm assuming we're all reasonably familiar with the idea that neither 100% hard work (120+ hour weeks, 52 weeks of the year) nor 100% indolence are great ideas?
Not free, but if you don't mind paying the cost of 2x pizzas you can get life time access to a 10 hour self paced video course that will teach you how to build a large real world application with Flask and Docker.

Instead of building a watered down application, it concentrates on building a production ready application. Instead of a Twitter clone, we build up a payment processing application that protects a game behind multiple tiers of pricing plans.

Some students are building their next start-up based on the code examples used in the course. One student even landed a $5,000+ contract a few weeks after taking the course.

Details (along with a demo video showing exactly what we'll build) can be found here:

The only bit i'd quibble with is becoming ineligible for other assistance programs - one concern pro-UBI economists raise is that if it replaces social programs, the cost of necessities like childcare and housing will just increase proportionally. There's a good argument to be made that certain social goods are actually better when there is no profit motive for the people providing it.

Aside from that, I really like your idea. Given the number of people who want to see a UBI, this might be one celebrity endorsement away from getting crowdfunded.
Maybe you are right. Re-watching, it can also be explained that way.

I am still very skeptical. If there's one place you don't want to "announce" your new robot project, it's on the social media pages of a guy who specialises in 3D graphics rendering projects of robots.
Now that there's a second player in this world, maybe we can standardize the hardware? Great the satellites are online...but how many devices have been manufactured with the requisite hardware?

Exactly. This isn't X.org. The author has an itch to scratch, and scratched it in exactly the right way.

Trying to funnel someone with an itch into a project is a bit like making someone on meth fill out paperwork: kills the buzz and works out poorly. And if just one human understands the nightmare of date handling a bit better, it is a positive thing for the humans.
> Usually all the basic concerns have been accounted for in the actual study.

No. It's an observational study. If they'd account for the basic concerns they'd do an RCT. Yes, that's more work and takes longer.

> It's seldom an issue of "those stupid PhDs and experts in their field, they didn't think of a confounder a random internet person can come up with in 5 seconds".

No, you don't understand the problem. Confounders everyone can come up with can be controlled for (although it gets complicated the more you consider). But the major problem are unknown confounders. You can't control for things you don't know.

> Learn [Vue.js] after you have learned React or Angular.

Hugely disagree with this. I really like Vue - but in my (very limited) experience, its appeal is that even though it's not as powerful or flexible as React or Angular it's way easier to learn and get moving with. Fewer new concepts, less new tooling, no ecosystem of related stuff to consider, etc.

I'd have suggested learning Vue first, and sticking with it until you outgrow it. If you start with Ng/Rx, and get to where you're comfortable and have a tooling/workflow around them that works for you, then sure you could still learn Vue afterwards but I'm not sure what it gets you.

What I notice (since we're talking about 'Projects' it seems relevant) is that there is a very low take up of the Tiny House concept among the black population which mostly inhabits social housing schemes similar to the Projects. The next smallest group is working class whites but this group is still influential in the movement.

This is curious because a self built Tiny House is very affordable. You can build one of these for less than 10k: https://www.tinyhomebuilders.com/images/products/simple-livi...

This is important because any social housing policy designed to decrease poverty requires a large amount of 'buy-in' or goodwill by the residents or it shall fail.

There is of course the question of land for THs, but that thorny issue has already been overcome by most Tiny House people in a variety of ways I won't list here, although I admit it is a serious concern.

I went in search of a black person who lived in a Tiny House. She had immediately understood the nature of the question and said a bunch of things on the subject, what stood out is that you might be able to sell the idea of being frugal, minimalist, eco-friendly, outright home ownership i.e. autonomy, practicality and economy to the majority white population that makes up the Tiny House movement e.g. poor students and downsizing retirees, but selling the same ideas to the black population is a very difficult sell.

http://tinyhousetrailblazers.com/2016/07/where-are-all-the-b...

She said while many of the whites are coming from the suburbs i.e. been there, done that, the American Dream for blacks remains to have a big house with its associated trappings. That is when they know they have 'made it'. It follows that a re-imagining of the American Dream is necessary for the black population, just as has been happening for the people in the Tiny House movement, but different.

Where I don't concur with Miss Pearson, is that I think this is regression. For individuals it is a good adaption, yes, but the net affect on a society is indeed regression. Big Questions need to be asked about why that's happening.
Where is the data for the point about making psychotic chronic? Because there is peer-reviewed medical literature (meaning double-blind clinical trials) about their effectiveness in reducing symptoms, and "longer lasting symptoms" would have been a reportable adverse event that could/would have been seen.

Additionally: to advance this model, you have to think that the people caring for these individuals (both families and doctors) are either unable to see that the treatments make it worse, or that they see it but are motivated by something other than the patient's best interests. My uncle had schizophrenia. In my experience, neither of these were true.

Finally: these symptoms are chronic and intractable by nature, if you talk to people that have them. Look at the homeless people who are clearly mentally ill: they react to things we can't see all the time; not episodically.

Asking iconclastic questions like Whitaker does is important; we need to have a discussion about it and make sure we're not completely off base, but when you look at a persons total ability to function and their global quality of life, antipsychotic medications are helpful.
The great thing about a free market country is people can form workers' collectives if they want to. The only thing is they can neither force anyone to join nor prevent anyone from leaving.

It's a speaker talking about the ethos they'd like to see the hacker community adopt. If you want to call that "pushing an agenda" or "disingenuous" then it would help if you'd clarify what you thought the speaker said they were going to do. They were up front about the fact that they were discussing the values they think are important to adopt – that's exactly what the talk is about!

The talk is a direct response to the "old" hacker ethos. Each point addresses the same topic as the original, so there's a pretty strong relation. It's hard to "abuse the recognition of the original" when you're making a point by point response.

And, those values and approaches the speaker describes in that response are different from the ones in the original. So in comparison to that old version, this is new.

In short, it's completely unclear to me where your criticisms are coming from.

A woman (Hamilton) was unable to work for a couple of hours, therefore hacker ethics suck.

On the other hand, millions of people were enabled to work because of hacker ethics.

Hamilton is of course the most important programmer of all time. Not only is she female, but her work will one day be considered as a turning point in the evolution of mankind. It is the foundation for exploration of the stars, which will secure the survival of the human species.

To overlook her work and instead praise pathetic hackers being a nuisance to other people is obviously sexist, like the whole tech industry.

So, let's calculate this: I pulled an image from a private facebook group, and the URL is of this form (although this particular URL is bogus, of course):

https://scontent-abc2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-0/p600x600/35938454_4896129300617330_9044691654193995233_n.jpg?oh=cbfe497e1191ff4669103957691ba34b3&oe=92AC4028

We have a section of length 43 that can vary in the range [0-9] (that is, 10 possible values):

35938454_4896129300617330_9044691654193995233

A section of length 33 that appears to be in the range [0-9a-f] (that is, 16 possible values):

cbfe497e1191ff4669103957691ba34b3

A section of length 8 in the range [0-9A-F] (that is, 16 possible values):

92AC4028

So how many different URLs are possible?

10 ^ 43 * 16 ^ 33 * 16 ^ 8 = ~ 10 ^ 92 ~ 2 ^ 306

This is a HUGE space, just to get a sense of it, adding 100 billion images a day,
it would take ~ 10 ^ 80 YEARS for facebook to exhaust it!

By the way, that's also how much it would take you to examine all of it while hunting for user's images (assuming this facebook endpoint does not even have rate limiting on it, which it almost certainly does).

Satellite navigation systems broadcast signals on a specific frequency. Anyone listening, should be able to pick up the signal. Therefore I assume infinite capacity.

At best if you're "successful" then you merely take all the current Bitcoin users and scatter them into a hundred different competing and more anonymous cryptos. Oops.

In the south we have fire ants. The thing about fire ants is that if you disrupt the nest you had better kill them all, because if you mess with a nest today, in a few days you'll have 5 nests to deal with. And so on.

Crypto is like fire ants in this regard.

To echo the answers of others: It's bad for their reputation and it impacts the business of the future.

I'm currently involved with a business transitioning their content from Flash to HTML5 and they are adamant about completely removing any Adobe software from the stack.

This means that they won't be using the HTML5 backend of Adobe Animate (formerly Adobe Flash Pro) out of principle, even though in this case it would be acceptable to keep it around as an authoring tool.

By the way, the same is true for any Google software, they won't be using (for instance) Google Web Designer because of Google's extremely poor track record of supporting software in the long run.
What are you talking about? Did you even read the OP? I was SUMMARIZING the talk (as per the request).

> The mention of Margaret Hamilton in this passage is one of maybe three instances in the entire book in which a woman appears who is not introduced as the relative or romantic interest of a man. And even in this rare instance, Levy’s framing trivializes Hamilton, her work, and her right to the facility. She was “a beginner programmer” who was “officially sanctioned” but also just “showed up.” And she “complained” about it, leading to repercussions and reprimands. Levy is all but calling her a nag.

I don't know what other way to characterize that as a focused topic (tacit misogyny). It was not further discussed. I think you (along with a bunch of other people debating some nonsense about feminism) are having some weird kneejerk because you choose to interpret that part of the talk differently. The meaning was clear to me.

In order to be entryism, the speaker would have to be an outsider, right? But that's not the case here. It's a member of the community speaking up about the values they care about.

Presumably, that care is genuine, right? Or do you have some reason to suspect the speaker is being disingenuous?

I'm not sure what else you want from a directory server but a "distributed user authentication store." Maybe you're referring to file and print services? Email server integration? All of these kinds of things should be available, regardless of what platform the directory server is running on.

I'd make some long argument about the Linux market longing for an easy-to-use directory server, but I see that Novell Directory Services still lives on as NetIQ, and I've never heard of anyone using it, so maybe the market just isn't there. (Another victim of Microsoft's monopoly.) So maybe it doesn't matter that AD isn't platform independent.

Serious question: Why are these considered "DSLs"? To me, these are just libraries with functions. Are they considered DSLs just because Lisps are basically an AST to begin with? Because when I think of a DSL, I think of something like SQL, or HTML, that is definitively different syntax, with it's own interpreter, for a specific purpose.
