> The fact is you cannot extrapolate from 100 years of human history and say everything will continue on

It's a lot more than 100 years. The invention of the scientific process, the printing press, the popularization of steel and before that, bronze, heck even the invention of agriculture radically changed human societies by increasing individual productivity and enabling specialization.

> People just a few hundred years before that could not have predicted anything about modern employment.

Right, which is why it's silly for us to look at the technology we have today and say "welp, that's the end of human employment."
There are plants of various ages beacause it was an area of active research in late 1900s, and a handful of industrial scale plants that are operating. But it's not generally happening or growing. For most used fuel there is no plan, or going to be buried underground.
Having recently had compose.io delete my data on a free tier I suggest NEVER doing this... It might seem to work well enough for smaller sites, but one day, out of the blue, when you least expect it, they will delete your data.

Can I also recommend if you are decomissioning a free tier please switch access to the server off (firewall rules) before deleting the data and the backups! You can even charge for the data if people haven't responded to any emails you have sent.
that's kind of also a really important use case. "There is no reason to trust this certificate in perpetuity, so pretending it hasn't been compromised over a long period of time would be stupidly insecure. Let's expire it after X months". There is no reason to trust a certificate that's older than a year, for instance, there's been more than enough time for someone to reverse engineer the keys if they wanted. The real part you should be questioning is why no one renewed it. It's pretty trivial to set up cert renewal, so why didn't they? Maybe the site's no longer maintained, maybe it's not actually intended to be secure. Important questions.

WiFi is okay, but having to manually connect to the button's access point is fiddly, and disconnects you from the real network.

Privately owned things have been around as long as private property: ~20,000 years. Greed predates that quite a bit more - let's cut it off at the rise of modern humans: ~70,000 years.

Yet the "greatest reduction in both poverty and mortality" is a relatively recent phenomena happening during the rise of publicly accountable civic institutions. [1]

To then attribute this with something that did not lead to this process in the first 69,800 or so years is, in my opinion, pretty poor logic.

----

[1] In fact, in Africa the greatest rise came after the decolonization post-ww2 and the establishment of states and representative governments. To say the predecessor extractive industries under colonialism weren't "capitalist" is also, quite incorrect.
Ironically, I think your claim that:

> helping your countrymen before non-countrymen on principle seems foolish and insular to me

is a bit insular =).

If you travel a bit around the world, having pride in your country, or camaraderie with your countrymen isn't that unusual a viewpoint. In fact, your view-point is a bit unusual (although that doesn't necessarily make it wrong). Many people will put their own country/tribe/family before strangers.

I'm probably the other side of the coin to you. To me, the next step is treating your country as nothing more than a business-transaction - I pay taxes, you give me services. I don't like that viewpoint.

Having a sense of civic pride - in a shared culture of history with those around you - can lead to many selfless things, and binds people together. Of course, taken too far, you get jingoism - but to my mind, there is a happy middle-ground.
I think it's the privacy and other "features" that make Facebook and Google login not work, for example.

How do you feel if a startup will actually make everything you don't want to, for low pricing, and mostly done by unemployed and college students. Can't stop mentioning that all tasks are insured, if not completed with quality all money back guarantee and has actually a laaarge margin (believe me, large) or earnings.

> Why should you really help someone who lives down the street from you over someone 10 miles away? Why someone 30 miles away over someone 300 miles away? Because circumstance led you to randomly live near them?

Maybe because you've been through hardships together, maybe your neighbors ancestors owe yours a tremendous debt of gratitude, numerous reasons that I doubt refugees from most anywhere in the world would find difficult to understand.

Also, this thing called war used to affect us in the west, where the comfortable living of the last 70 odd years seems to have completely wiped any memories from the earlier difficult periods from our collective consciousness. The very idea of forming tightly knit bonds with your neighbors, and saving in times of plenty for the inevitable times of hardship that lie down the road, is now considered not just passe, but foolish.
> Why should you _really_ help someone who lives down the street from you over someone 10 miles away? Why someone 30 miles away over someone 300 miles away?

Because it's more efficient. Because you're more likely to be able to effectively communicate and interact with a neighbor than with someone from across the world. Because of self-interest: helping your neighbor is in part helping yourself.

Like, I grew up here, but the extreme individualism in America seems weird and unhealthy to me. People instinctually work for their family, friends, and tribe first, and we should harness that instinct for good rather than trying to just suppress it.

> Python as the main language in a potentially large-scale project

This is the flaw in your thinking, the word Potentially. Good engineering means you worry about actual problems and not potential problems (within reason ofc). Your actual problem is that you haven't written the web application, so you do that first. For doing that, Python is an excellent choice.

"But what about web-scale?" Well, chances are your product will fail for some reason and never become successful therefore thinking about scaling problems now is a waste of time. In my experience, scaling problems comes much later than most people think. I've worked on an interactive site in Django that served 60k visitors per day without problems. It was the database that gave us the most performance problems not Python.

People have pointed out other problems with your comment, but I feel the need to clarify that resistance to integration/assimilation is very real in terms of lifestyle, communities, and ideology.

Well CO2's concentration went from 0.03% to 0.04% . In absolute terms that is very negligible. If we burned all our fossil fuels AND the solubility pumps of the oceans kept working, that means a maximum of 0.06% or so concentration in the atmosphere of CO2. Its effect as a greenhouse gas should be measured relative to THAT, not its rise in relative numbers.

Rust actually started with a model like this. The idea was when starting out for the first time you can use garbage collected pointers for everything and then switch to the manual model when you needed it. Problem is then that unless your standard library and all the major open source libraries work perfectly for both the garbage collected objects and for the manually managed objects then you need to learn manual memory management early on anyway, so the garbage collector wasn't helping anyone. The language design element of this is really tough to do in a usable way.

D has optional GC but their standard library is kind of fucked up.

Moved out to college after highschool, never lived home since.

Not everyone who lives at home with their parents are the same and in some cases it does make sense,

but from my observations of people who live at home:

- No skills on managing self: relies on parents to manage

- No financial management skills: using all your money for play money and not contributing to the household.

- Can't take a date home: unless you want to introduce your parents right away

- ManChild Syndrome: grown kids playing video games and watching tv.

- No drive: as long as you have parents, why try. Everything is already provided for you.

Fratlas,

What would success look like for you with this project? Since you mentioned that you're trying to create an MVP, success to me at this stage means that you've successfully validated your idea and are ready to start scaling.

Are you bootstrapping a SaaS app? Looking to get initial traction to show investors?

Your needs are going to vary wildly depending on what your business goals are. And for me, these questions are vital before starting a project.

I thought this was really cool, and you don't even need a Dash button to repeat it (just the app). I threw a mic on my desk and recorded the output real quick, and sure enough, it's pretty easy to see the waveform. I was going to post the wav file, but without knowing a bit more about how the Dash links to my Amazon account, I'm a bit hesitant.

I'm going to have a run at reproducing this in Python. Should be fun!

> Elaborate

For example, to answer questions like "What feature was this commit part of, originally". "How and where did the merges happened?". To answer these questions months after the merges happened, even after you did't think that you would need to answer these questions, something like the workflows mercurial is essential.

>Except, it doesn't completely.

Elaborate?

>Yes, because command line flags are ubiquitous in nearly every single tool

Ok. But that does not mean that it is powerful enough and can be a replacement for or better than a proper query laguage..

> arbitrary DSL that has no convention behind it

What convention? I am not getting you.

>can be easily parsed by other tools in the same ecosystem.

Parse what exactly?

>Both of those pages do not lend support to your claim that the ability to "query" (with or without a DSL) the history graph is somehow superior in Mercurial. They merely document the feature, but do not draw any meaningful comparisons highlighting what it can do that git log or even git rev-list (which git log uses) can't.

Oh it does support it plenty. Take a look at the vocabulary supported by revsets in form of intuitive and easy to remember predicates. I don't think you are really impartial if you are not convinced by it.

See my reply to a sister comment for the data I am speaking of.

I agree that currently we have some correlation of global warming and CO2 increase, but this doesn't prove causation esp considering the 70s experienced global cooling.

https://skepticalscience.com/empirical-evidence-for-co2-enha...

AND the main point is that there is a limit on how much more Co2 can be released: roughly the same amount that already has, if we reached peak fossil fuels. To put things in perspective, that's going from 0.03% to max 0.06% concentration. CO2's effect as a greenhouse gas should be measured as a function of its concentration relative to the TOTAL atmosphere. Maybe it rises exponentially, but maybe not. Like putting layers of paint on a window. We'd need hard numbers.

Meanwhile... no matter what you do, carbon credits or not, eventually ALL the fossil fuels WILL be burned up so it's only a matter of time. Better to learn to build artificial carbon sinks and methane sinks to capture the CO2 back underground. It's called forests and algae. Want to save the world? Plant forests!

On the other hand we CAN reduce the amount of methane by reducing the amount of cows we raise for hamburgers etc.

Nuclear is a mess. You either are left with a waste problem that doesn't go away or a proliferation risk. The US government or successors will be subsidizing 20th century waste for hundreds of years.

Energy storage is a problem, but a transient problem that can be addressed with a variety of storage techniques and backed up by natural gas.
> The downside of solar is approximately 0 compared to the downside of a reactor accident. ... The political capital lost in a reactor accident isn't worth it. The lost of faith in technology, the loss of trust in science

That omits what is by far the largest risk and issue, climate change. The cost of climate change dwarfs the risks mentioned above.

If solar or other renewable sources can't prevent climate change, then nuclear is a small price to pay.
Sadly it's not realistic. Even if someone were to put in the time to make it work, Vimperator would just break again within the next year when XUL addons are deprecated in favor of WebExtensions, and unfortunately WebExtensions do not support all the features of Vimperator. You can use VimFx for now, but again it is a XUL addon and would take a massive amount of work to port to a WebExtension. Hopefully someone can get Vimium or cVim ported over as a WebExtension. I have played around some with this but haven't got it to work. It seems some of the needed API's are missing from WebExtensions at the moment.
It might make sense if they assumed that they'd be successful. If the press spends all their time talking about how Uber is flaunting the rules by putting out a self driving car into their fleet and all the while this thing performs perfectly, it's fantastic press.

They probably just assumed that their cars weren't going to run red lights and terrorize bicyclists.

There is no such automated renews process for SSL Certificate. One your SSL certificate expires, you need to renew it again manually.

Again you have to generate CSR and Private key for your domain.

But, the best option to get rid of renewing SSL certificate each year is, Buy your SSL certificate multiple years (3 years), then you don't need to renew your SSL certificate for 3 years.

Note: In the case of EV SSL Certificate, the CA will allow to issue it for only 2 years.
I'm a millennial - Living with my parents after college allowed me to save a boat load of money which I then invested and now I'm in a comfortable place finally - even looking at early retirement.
While I like the sentiment, I think global warming won't make us consumption minimalists. New materials and automation will make production cheaper. Automation will also make earth cleaner and self-cleaning. We're not just on the cusp of AI, but also of nanotechnology (where we manufacture with DNA and proteins), nuclear fusion (see the amazing new REBCO tape superconductors), 3d-printing and probably a dozen other emerging tech trends.

We don't, as a society, go the way of minimalism. Technology progress happens as if it has a will of its own, not dependent on individuals, governments and even wars going on. We're witnessing the birth of a new bootstrapped entity - we had the virus, the cell, the organism and now the machine. The moment we make a self replicating factory that only uses cheap local materials, we've seen the birth of this new life form. It will be the new cell, the bootstrapped, self-replicating, self-repairing, adaptive source of everything we need and capable of improving itself by continuous optimization.

We can't stop the birth of technological life.

This is correct. I've worked in industry for about 3 years, much in a top industry lab that built a product you probably use. I've got a couple papers, including a really good one.
