What is that specific thing or infrastructure that china and other developing countries are missing, that makes them unable to do this (stop polluting)?
Isn't the fact that it's small a big part of the historical significance?

My history prof used to say that Sir Anthony Eden was the last Prime Minister to believe the United Kingdom was a superpower and the first to prove that it wasn't.
Just a nitpick. According to the list you referenced, the developed country with the highest CO2 emissions per capita is Luxembourg. The US comes second.

The US is second, the spirit of your point stands though.

Another surprising thing I learned from the list, US emissions have decreased significantly from 19.6 to 16.4 (tonnes per capita) during the obama administration.
Why do we need Facebook?
What you're talking about here is an artifact of your sampling method, not an actual problem. China emits roughly double the amount that the US does, but they have four times the population. That is actually a much better number than ours.
Also from SV/CA. I think your points apply here:

> 1) Brain drain as young ambitious people leave

Tons of smart folks I know are leaving CA for TX or east coast.

> 2) Public services (education, roads, etc) decrease in quality, increase in expense

omg, this is CA. Have you driven a freeway lately?

> 3) Older folks increasingly capture all of the economic gains allowed in small towns through consolidation of local political power

CA to the letter.

I don't think you're wrong, just that what you're saying applies to us, too.
I thought Aereo TV did have DVR.

I believe the main difference between them was that Aereo "hosted" the antenna's themselves and sold you the stream, whereas Plex is a "set up yourself" service.
Seems pretty straightforward as far as fact checks go. The Paris Accord says nothing about coal, it's all about emissions. We could increase coal use too if we wanted to, as long as our emissions go down. So really, the statement from Trump is true but misleading.

"It" doesn't stop us, we negotiated this as part of a global agreement to reduce emissions. Because we're the world's biggest source of emissions and also the richest, our responsibility is greater than that of a developing country like India that can't afford new nuclear plants and whose citizens can't afford solar roofs.

nice and concise explanation.
Another key sticking point is the unbounded legal liability under the agreement, for other countries to be able to sue the US for climate change effects if the aggressive targets are not met. It's disappointing that the world sees something as serious as climate change as an opportunity to get money from the US taxpayer, and that India and China are held to such low standards.

That said, Trump has a history of not being honest. He campaigned on increasing coal usage. That alone might have been enough for him to spike the deal.
We must do this and more.

Do not let perfect be the enemy of the future of this earth.
Adding additional facts is valuable. To continue your India example, they have pledged to reduce emissions 33 to 35 percent of 2005 levels by 2030. So yes, they may increase their coal production, but now I know they are also taking other steps to reduce emissions.

I've always assumed a UBI would involve reducing (or removing) the tax free threshold, so a person on an average or greater income would actually have no net change in their position, or may even be worse off. Perhaps I'm wrong on this?

The advantage of the UBI comes from reduced administrative costs — at the moment, governments spend huge amounts of money on welfare departments to make sure welfare recipients are members of the worthy poor. By giving the UBI to everyone these costs get cut back.

It also smooths the transition from jobless welfare payments to employment with a tax free threshold, so that we don't have to worry about whether or not a particular person would be worse off if they picked up another five hours. They would always be better off (because they'll pick up e.g. 87c of every extra dollar they earn, instead of having welfare payments worth e.g $500/month cut but being able to keep $1 of every extra dollar).

I fear the advantages of a UBI go to the right-wing (neo-)liberal elites. They can get the government out of morality, cut costs, and pretend to be doing something for the poor. Whether it actually does something for the poor or not compared to welfare is, as you say, conditional. And in the absence of widespread community organisations (like churches in the olden days) throughout much of the west, it's not clear that taking the government out of morality is safe at this point. The article here wants me to believe that my concerns are illegitimate, but Iran is no secular western country.
Interesting you picked those states, of those states, all but North Carolina have been becoming bluer. Using 2012 vs 2016 presidential margin of victory, with blueness being positive, Texas went −15.78% to -9.00%, Virginia went 3.87% to 5.32%, Arizona went −9.06% to -3.55%, North Carolina went −2.04% to -3.66%, Georgia went −7.82% to -5.13%, Utah went −48.04% to -18.08%.

I think you can interpret that as, prosperity leads to bluer policies, or bluer policies causes prosperity, or possible a little of both.

If you adjust incomes for cost of living, the notion of which states are "behind" has much less correlation to political voting patterns. Here's a comparison from the Bureau of Economic Analysis: https://www.fool.com/investing/general/2014/10/05/which-stat...

According to this comparison, after accounting for cost of living the average Arkansas resident has more disposable income than the average Californian. Having lived in both states, I agree with this (but my friends in California can't fathom this).
I would limit my "expertise" to rustbelt/midwestern areas, but from what I've seen in both data and experience, things tend to be more correlated with overall density metrics than specific location, and there are a lot of microscale effects. For instance, many ambitious people in the midwest are relocating from [small town they grew up in] to [regional center], like moving from avondale MI to Grand Rapids MI. The macro effects of outmigration from MI en mass show little info, but on a micro scale, people are leaving their smaller counties and moving to more dense ones. Over time, smaller regional centers like Grand Rapids grow, but the 200 miles of 'small town America' surrounding it grow older, more disconnected, less healthy, and less educated.

1. I don't think global warming cares who emits the carbon. If climate change is really as big and life changing an issue as everyone knows it is they will sign on, there is no reason to sign away the livelihoods of Americans to benefit China, what happens when you do that is those people whose jobs you have just ended do in fact have opinions and votes.

2. We are subsidizing them with no benefit to us at all, and in turn we are also giving them the ability to outperform us in manufacturing the capability to create clean energy, if you want to help them use clean energy mandate that it comes from local companies. No one will like someone else showing up with bags full of sovereign wealth and tipping the scales. These countries per capita might be poorer, but from a global markets level they are right on par with their American counterparts.

3. Debate? We are by far the largest foreign aid donor.

4. The Paris Agreement was signed by the President without the consent of congress, partially because it didn't win over right-wing Americans.

At some point we need to be adults about this and do something, the country is not supposed to be run as a Dictatorship by either party, all its doing is slowly killing everyone
If you're a U.S. citizen who doesn't work in coal, why would you ever want more coal plants to be built here? Even besides global warming, there are some very real externalities to coal - acid rain, smog, increased asthma & respiratory illnesses.

I live in California and have been to China, and I know which air I'd rather breathe, even despite California's terrain & wind patterns being very conducive to catching air pollution in a bowl. Let them fuck up their own atmosphere...it'd be better if they didn't fuck up ours too, but if somebody's gonna pollute, I'd rather it be them.

I am not convinced that what is shown as an NFA corresponds to what is normally understood as an NFA. I don't think that makes it bad (in fact, it can do more things than a strict NFA, like capturing and back-references), but it is remarkably different to a Thompson NFA or a Glushkov NFA.

Something that can backtrack has a stack. I suspect this removes you from 'finite' territory; the 'F' in '*FA'.

I think Friedl has a lot to answer for in his muddying of the waters here. It's created a lot of headaches for us over the years, as we implement both DFA and NFA (strict) matching in Hyperscan, and people do ask us why our NFAs can't do backreferences. :-)

Where they can't afford the more efficient methods of industrialization and must resort to the dirtier methods? Powering a country by coal is one such example. China has huge reserves of coal but little oil and natural gas. So what are they suppose to do? Renewables are expensive, although it is dropping in price, but they are also not useful at all hours and their production varies on conditions. Not all of China have plentiful sunshine. Coal is cheap, plentiful, and reliable. That's an easy choice for China.

Are you saying poor countries should NOT industrialize to help save the world after the industrialized nations have had 100 years to pollute all they want and generate enormous sums of wealth in the process? Why would any developing nation sign on to that?
Seconding all your points, and especially the complaint about writing vs. maintenance. I complain about that a bit too, and spent a fair amount of time searching for tools facilitating efficient reading and exploring of code. I found nothing. The space seems to be almost empty. The closest I found to something useful was an old and probably completely abandoned Eclipse plugin that doesn't work with Java 8.

IntelliJ in particular should have such tools - the IDE has all the right information. Just no tools that would be particularly useful for exploring codebase structure.
Oh of course - interrupts. Right. Which is what [I now understand] preeemptible means; system interrupts can intercept normal execution and cause the kernel to go do something else for a minute.

Thanks so much for explaining the read-write conditions too, I now understand this perfectly.

Thanks for the recommendation about the LWN subscription, I'll file that away as a serious consideration. For the meantime, I'm curious - does the subscriber-only content go free after a certain period, or do certain articles remain subscriber-only?
Compared to the amount of health issues from coal the amount is minuscule. Personally I think nuclear is a great source of energy so long as the plants are properly maintained... which seems to be an issue.

Disappointed by your response given that I've been reading here for ages and figured I'd weigh in on something I know a lot about...but ok.

To respond to your point: I think there's probably a good reason he chose what he did -- it's what Jobs was used to (given that the fruits they planted were the commercial fruit varieties that were commonly grown in the area when Jobs was a kid). That doesn't make it an interesting orchard worthy of the press it's gotten. And I'm sure he put lots of effort into the aesthetics of it, but he didn't in the actual selection of fruits. Also, the climate of 2050 won't be the climate of 1950 (both due to climate change and the urban heat island) -- it's possible to successfully grow many fruits that only did well in Southern CA 50 years ago. (Just to highlight the lack of forward thinking: the orchard includes many citrus fruit trees, which are going to be toast in a matter of just a few years due to HLB.)
Its bad because its not a level playing field. Its tips the global economy away from Americans because they are too "Developed". Turns out there are lots of Americans in fly over country who disagree.
Yes, California is third on a list where Texas is 1st. I don't think that disproves my point. Texas produces 35% of the country's crude oil.

In March of 2017, California produced 14,907,000 barrels of crude oil. Texas produced 102,443,000. That's 7x more. Play that against the fact that Texas' GDP is 2/3rd of California's. Oil has a massive impact in Texas that it simply doesn't have in California.

Agree but the picture they paint with this _is_ a binary one. Anything less than a "his statement is 100% factual, no additional commentary needed!" is treated as evidence that Trump is a big fat liar by people like OP.
Yes but if you care about the environment it doesn't matter. Reducing the overall emissions is all that matters. And giving the biggest polluter a free pass to keep polluting is insanity.
Borrow checking happens quite late in the compilation process. It has to, because it can't know the lifetimes of the borrows until all the functions are resolved (borrows are allowed to leave the scope of the call via requirements imposed by functions, even to the point of being required to be static). If this choice was made for technical reasons, this is not why.

Considering how seriously Rust takes explicitness in general, I strongly suspect this was done purely for readability.

Agreed.

There seem to be a lot of microscale effects where people are moving from [small town where they grew up] to [moderately sized regional center], and most of my experience comes from seeing family members and friends still living in [small town where they grew up].
"China and India given their records on human rights?" Are you suggesting there is no country in the world where human rights are not violated? I am not defending the violation, but that sentence sounds naively aloof and disconnected from reality.
> Won't UBI just shift the poverty line to a value above whatever it is now(0 maybe), without changing the income inequality/wealth difference.

As far as I can tell this keeps coming up because the answer is "no" but the explanation is complicated.

The are two types of inflation.

One is industry-specific and happens when the government subsidizes something. For example, if the government provides education subsidies then the cost of education increases compared to other things like food or transportation.

The other is currency-specific. When the government prints a lot of new currency, the value of a dollar goes down. Prices go up not because there is more demand for products but because there is less demand for dollars.

A UBI doesn't do either of those things. It doesn't subsidize any specific thing and it doesn't create any new money.

The closest you can get is that there is a theory that higher income people spend less of their income than lower income people, so anything that transfers money from higher income people to lower income people is equivalent to creating new money, because the money in the hands of higher income people was effectively out of circulation.

That general form has nothing to do with a UBI. It applies equally to any government program that produces per-capita public benefits from sales or income tax revenues. The rich pay a tax and the poor get public schools and housing subsidies, which means the poor have the money they didn't spend on schools or housing and can spend it on something else.

Moreover, the effect is small (most people aren't rich enough to never spend their money), and it's simple to compensate for it -- the government is constantly creating new currency because more currency is required as the economy grows. So if you want less inflation, print less money.

And that's assuming that moderate inflation would be a problem, but in fact it's a benefit. The country is in a debt crisis. People have too much mortgage debt, too much student debt, too much credit card debt. The government itself has too much public debt. The prices of housing and education and medicine are too high, but lowering nominal prices is very difficult because everyone has mortgages and contracts that assume the existing prices. The US balance of trade has been out of whack for decades. Lowering the value of the dollar helps with all of those things because it lets the nominal price of those things stay the same while reducing their actual cost back to sane levels.
Something that has a finite stack is still in 'finite' territory. Is there an upper bound on the number of backtracking steps?
I had a similar offer. $0 pay and maybe 1% equity. Sent them a spreadsheet explaining how inappropriate the offer was.

You're right, that was an oversight on my part.

> Another surprising thing I learned from the list, US emissions have decreased significantly from 19.6 to 16.4 (tonnes per capita) during the obama administration.

This may actually be, in large part, due to the EPA. It would be interesting to see data for more recent years as well as end of this year (if it's not too soon) to see how it all changes.
The same thing can still happen with Deref coercions or type inference, so this is something the compiler already has to deal with.

This is precisely the problem with Google operating the dominant browser on the planet. They are always going to be accused of having a conflict of interest; the conversation itself is the problem.

IMO, if Google's goal is to really improve the web experience, it would be much better if Chrome was spun off into a non-profit of its own, and not controlled directly by Google.

That won't happen because Google needs Chrome to control the platform where most ads are delivered and that helps keep Google dominate.
- US, per capita, has the highest CO2 emissions of any developed country

It also has one of the highest GDP (output) per capita. Output requires energy input.

I used them for several months. They had a great site, good service and pretty tasty meals. While expensive, that is relative, and found it a good value considering I love following directions but am at a loss grocery shopping for a week of season meals.

That being said, I left them because I didn't consider them, "healthy food". Now compared to eating out, or fast food or anything yes, they are certainly healthy. But compared to shopping yourself, or healthy food places, they are not healthy. The sodium levels and calories and everything are all very high. This is mostly because healthy doesn't typically taste as good, and there is a larger market for people who want tasty over healthy.

They may eventually offer recipes tailored to low sodium, lower calories, and all like some competitors at which time I'd love to try them again.
China has a a few hundred thousand metric tons before they are close to the historical pollution we have contributed. And last I checked, they are still committed to taking action[1]... if only we could say the same.
