> If both temperature and CO2 levels set new records every single year, then it's stoping sensational - it becomes expected.

The increase isn't the sensational part, the acceleration is. That the acceleration is happening despite emissions plateauing is even more sensational, it may be the first indication that we've hit a limit in the earths ability to absorb excess CO2.

> Am I so wrong in the assumption, that if someone claims to love something, he won't hurt it?

Not directly relevant to farm animals, but how many married couples don't have fights? I don't think that assumption is right.

And when considering raising and killing an animal vs. never having any animal at all, consider the quote "'tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all".

Unless you have the cure to aging, that's going to happen no matter what. In fact, slaughtering means that more of them die at the same time and don't have to go through this suffering.
I'd recommend taking a look at Common Lisps condition system, which does exceptions right.

The most important feature is that catch blocks are executed before the stack is unwond, providing the ability for a handler to signal back to the context where the error occurred how it should be handled.

It's sad that no other languages implement this and instead simply decide that exceptions are bad.

What book database do you use? I've been looking into this as well... but its' problematic getting book summaries from somewhere that isn't wikipedia.
Yes, but there is the major problem that charging electrical car batteries today still requires burning of fossils to create the energy in the first place.

Beside, that's controversial, Musk has got both electrical cars and space rockets.

Germany afaik wants to have predominantly electrical cars driving around in the next decade. Forcing a ban on exhaust cars might create some incentive on producing renewable energies due to the demand, so companies can invest in that. Of course, banning exhaust cars should go hand in hand with banning coal power plants (by way of regulating CO2 limits by law/tax, so that it is expensive to create CO2). Then the demand has to be covered by solar+wind and mainly nuclear energy (the latter not being very popular and the former too space-needy), way to go for clever businesses to come up with solutions (one of them might even be to develop ways to convert created CO2 to solids).
Actually, you are be sorely wrong. Aviation is ~2% of human CO2 emission, and 12% of transport CO2 emission, versus 74% from roads. Judging from the streets and highways, most of that 74% is coming from household vehicles, and most of the rest is pretty much driven by household consumption.
> As the string vibrates, the air molecules around it bounce to and fro, creating a wave of jiggling air molecules that we call sound. If you could watch the air carry out this periodic dance, you’d discover a smooth, undulating, endlessly repeating curve that’s called a sinusoid, or a sine wave.

That's a remarkably poor description, I think? It could make a young reader imagine the sine graphs are there in the air, but very hard to see. I guess to construct the wave you'd do something like measure density changes at a single point in space?
You're missing the part where they're being aggressively replaced by Java at every turn and will eventually cease to exist and also these jobs are temporary consulting gigs more popular with retired experts going back to the same bank that fired them years previously.

If you want to be well employed, learn Java and move to the American south where a nice house with a 1/2 acre backyard sets you back less $130k - $200k and they can't find enough qualified IT people. No it isn't a startup or Google, but the pay compared to the average income of $30k lets you live far better than San Francisco as long as you don't mind less things to do in town.
If the content you write has inherent value, why not host it yourself?

Because of the risk. A 100MB video file that "goes viral" and gets 5,000,000 downloads in a month would cost approximately $30,000 hosted on S3 (calculated using https://calculator.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html). I can't afford that. Obviously I could take the content offline if it suddenly blew up, but instead if I put it on Youtube it would cost me nothing (less in fact; they would pay me.)

How to Get Rid of Limiting Beliefs by Grant Cardone
All of those points are moot without adoption and maturity, something a new language by definition won't have.
There is also electrons actually flowing. As far as movement of mass goes, the pneumatic system analogy is a good one. It is not a mathematically identical system.

Look, you can just look at how this stuff works. Electrons move randomly, and when there's a current they move on average in a certain direction because the electric field leans that way. That's it. See my link I pasted above, it describes what happens when a current is flowing.

A capacitor encoding '0' will have the same number of electrons as when it encodes '1' because that's the way capacitors work. You can read about it at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor

> their estimate for a very minor change added up to several months...

It sounds like they had an issue with technical debt (and that had led to a lack of trust from the rest of the company) and thought they could fix it with a process, correct? I don't think you can help someone that won't recognise the root cause.
Great stuff.

I asked one Agile coach about how and when one should do software architecture decisions for a larger project, he said you can take an extra sprint/spike at the start to do software architecture if necessary.

At another place, the testing members of the team always tested the previous sprint's work (otherwise they'd be doing nothing for the first 80% of the sprint, if they tested that sprint's software).

So if you had a requirements sprint, a software architecture sprint, a development sprint, then that gets tested on the next sprint, what process does that remind you of? :)

Just wanted to add my experience with intermittent fasting. I'm 38 yrs old now. I started in May 2016. My rules are:

1) from 8pm until noon next day - eat nothing, drink lots of water and 1 cup of coffee when I get up. On training days BCAA during the training and whey shake afterwards.

2) from noon until 4pm - eat 2 meals of proteins, fresh veggies and fats. Important here is no carbs!

3) from 4pm until 8pm - eat everything, and lots of it :)

Results are great! I am close to max strength now, my concentration is better than ever, sugar cravings are next to none. I lost 5kg of mostly fats. Subjectively I look better than ever.

To conclude, the best is to try - maybe it'll fit you, maybe it won't. You have nothing to lose :)

>... though I fear that system would suffer the same problems. It could be corrupted by a desire to receive ongoing funding ...

Emphasis on massive amounts of money. For example, let's say USG dumps 80 billion into YC Research with the expectation of being able to sustain research for 16 years. I'm pretty sure YCR would struggle to spend 5B/year, and I'm really sure they wouldn't give a single shit about trying to ingratiate themselves at the expense of their work's integrity for the purposes of receiving ongoing funding. There would be no reason to, because their funding interval would span at least two administrations, possibly four.

That example of course changes if you assume YCR would be picking up responsibility for critical science previously overseen by government agencies. However, the point is that ample, lump-sum funding of private non-profit organizations can completely destroy any perverse political incentives that would normally plague a government agency.

>By relying on private money, the special interests can be diversified automatically, which seems more healthy to my mind.

Sure, but what's the point if the research output is some company's IP or even trade secret? Private money doesn't have the obligation of serving the public interest. Government money does, at least in spirit. Philanthropy is of course nice, but you can't rely on it.

The problem with nuclear (at least in countries like the UK and USA) is not so much public perception or misinformation but the cost, particularly once eventual decommissioning and long-term waste storage costs are accounted for.

It's increasingly difficult for nuclear projects to compete with things like renewables, inter-connectors, and carbon-taxed gas turbines. The one project that has gone ahead recently in the UK (Hinkley C) did so only with a significant government subsidy (ie guaranteed inflation-linked strike price).

Renewables (wind turbines, solar panels, storage technologies, etc) all tend to benefit from commoditisation and economies of scale, so their costs keep coming down. Nuclear costs, on the other hand, keep spiralling upwards.

I feel the need to add my feeling of horror and revulsion at what United did here. I'm British and cannot think of a single justifiable reason to violently remove a passenger who has paid for the right to fly, and is obeying the rules.

Purchasing a ticket creates a contract between the individual and the airline; so long as the passenger upholds their end, which from what I can tell this passenger did, the airline is violating their end of the contract, and worse is getting the police involved in what is essentially a contractual matter. This is dangerously totalitarian, getting officers who are employed to protect the population to enforce the whims of the corporation. I simply cannot believe anyone along the chain of communication here didn't stop and say, 'this is wrong'. The lack of humanity is simply astounding - I am at a loss for words.

I sincerely hope he sues both the airline and the police for this, it's assault and breach of contract. I'll echo what others are saying, this is a dangerous situation to allow to quiet down. We need to keep pressure on United until the responsible parties are made to answer for their decisions.

CO2 levels is just one of a myriad of indicators that are off the scale now.

By lifestyle I mean supermarkets and restaurants and iPhones and planes ... all the stuff that we're so proud of as a society.

Scale relative to what, or when? I mean, yeah, we are certainly 'off the scale' for supermarkets, iPhones and planes compared to, say, the ancient Romans. But in fairness, they've got us well and truly beat on the ignorance, slavery and infant mortality scales. How do we rank in 'spiritual' terms relative to the Romans?

But taking your assertion as a given, what specifically do you suggest we do about this problem? My concern is that, in the near future, we may find ourselves climbing down a few rungs of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, leaving 'self-actualisation' / spirituality way out of reach.

I guess they do drop packets (it's the best - easiest/cheapest/cleanest - way to backpropagate pressure - aka backpressure), but they watch for it a lot more vigorously. Also as I understand they try to separate long lived connections (between DCs) from internal short lived traffic. Different teams, different patterns, different control structures.
> By lifestyle I mean supermarkets and restaurants and iPhones and planes ... all the stuff that we're so proud of as a society. Winning, getting ahead, being number one, outcompeting, etc. All those ego-centric values that are the basis of our socio-economic systems - focused on disconnecting the `self` from `other` - are wrong on a fundamental level. By 'spirituality' I mean the deep realisation of the larger context in bio-space and bio-time that I as a creature exist in

Man this pseudo spiritual hippie bullshit annoys me to no end. This philosophical shift toward absurdism is infuriating and every time I read something like this my blood boils. I have nothing against you personally but lets be honest here; the ONLY reason you can say this crap is simply because people competed, lost, got ahead and in process elevated your living standard so much that you can now sit behind a computer screen today and be pretentious and ungrateful about what society have achieved so far.

You being an observer of what is does not lead to anything meaningful. And if you find meaning in that, then great. More power to you! But to claim that iPhones, planes and supermarkets are not things to be proud of is a sign of nothing other than ignorance. You clearly can't see the level of pain and suffering that had to be endured for us as a species to get to this point. That's why you can make such claims. You simply lack perspective.

If overcoming your own biological limitations (flying) is not enough of a miracle for you, then... I dunno wtf is.

Edit:

Just take a look at the replies below to see what I mean. People lack perspective. Most haven't read enough history to understand that we are making one of the BEST trade-offs humanity has ever seen. The question never was IF environmental degradation is okay, which they think it is. Instead, the question has always been HOW MUCH is okay and what do we get back in return?

In these people's minds, virtue signaling far outweighs the alleviation of human suffering. They do not understand that the trade-offs we are making is what allows them the freedom to speak their mind and gives them the ability to effectively communicate using the medium they are currently utilizing.
Rather than focusing on solving a problem, they instead praise mushroom eating as the way forward.

The problem with the green movement as a whole is that they do not understand economics or trade-offs. If they could communicate and argue from a reasonable and realistic position, there is no doubt in my mind that the green movement would have been embraced by all.

Of those 2 it's generally more effective to send an email or update the issue so I don't forget about it 5 minutes later.
