This is sort of a contentless post.

Certainly the EPA performs a valid role, however that is not to say that any attempts to constrain its increasing creep of scope and overreach of power is automatically bad.

Is it possible to find pictures from the late 60s showing pristine beautiful nature shots?

Is it possible to find pictures from late 60s showing clean and tidy small town streets?

Is it possible to find pictures from 2018 showing residents holding dirty water (ie. Flint, Michigan)?

Is it possible to find pictures from 2018 of dirty filthy slums?

Therefore, whats really the message? Let me guess....someone wants more money for their budget?

The EPA didn't create this mess. They did screw up handling it, however. What happened was that the EPA accidentally released the waste products from an abandoned mine that had been accumulating in a reservoir for decades all at once. What do you think would have happened without any regulation at all? That shit would already be everywhere.

> Well, it's a reasonable translation - what precisely makes this vote a "blockchain" and not just a giant Excel spreadsheet?

This was my thought also. I could implement what I understand they did just using git. One vote = one line appended. With an append-only merge driver and Github push for publication. No blockchain needed for equivalent functionality and equivalent resistance properties.
"past this point your car is going to lose control and kill everyone"

Actually that is one of the reasons for the speed limit being what it is. Part of the speed limit is determined by the reaction time and stopping distance of a typical driver. That's not you per se, but it has to work for everyone. While a fit young person driving a 2017 Mercedes might feel they can safely drive much faster with all the modern safety features of their car like ABS, traction control, ESP, etc, the speed limit has to also work for an 85 year old in a 1981 Toyoto Corolla that has no safety features, tyres 0.1mm above the legal minimum, and the reaction times of an asthmatic snail.
How about the same money as last year (not a 25% cut):

I don't think it's fair to equate accidents with the deliberate dumping of pollutants, especially when the accident partially stems from damage caused prior to the EPA.
I consider myself a really pro market guy, but I can't agree with the statement:
> free enterprise will work to protect the environment, as anything that hurts the market will hurt profits

I mean, isn't the environment the prime example of a situation where externalities and the tragedy of the commons describe the problems for the free market to solve the problems at hand?

Further, free enterprises exist to maximise their own profit and not to protect the "market".

The only circumstance under which I expect the free market to freely solve any environmental issues is if the consumer demands more (truly) environmentally friendly products and services, moving the demand and hence the profit from polluting products.
I am really to see this finally going in having hard about this in last JavaOne. My biggest hope is to see other build on top of this.

E.g. - frameworks, libraries, web-servers exposing their metric through this. Some building other ways to consume the metric from a running recorder. Right now you have to dump it in file and pull that to JMC. But imagine a monitoring tool pulling the data out of the recoding engine on the fly and provide storage, live visualization/analysis.

A lock free low overhead in-memory collector inside the JVM seems very useful even without considering some of the very useful metric that JFR have right now.
The original quote by Alanis Obomsawin, an Abenaki from the Odanak reserve, was about Canada:

"Canada, the most affluent of countries, operates on a depletion economy which leaves destruction in its wake. Your people are driven by a terrible sense of deficiency. When the last tree is cut, the last fish is caught, and the last river is polluted; when to breathe the air is sickening, you will realize, too late, that wealth is not in bank accounts and that you can’t eat money."

I tried my hand at algorithmic trading. It was an interesting experience because I have no experience with stocks, only trying it with digital currencies as a possible platform to eventually move to my portfolio. I found that the bot was just dominated by larger overall market movements. For example in the bull market, nothing I can do wins! It was an interesting lesson and I like how the markets run 24 hours. But I wonder what the end game of algorithmic trading is. Everyone can't run the same algorithm can they? My naive approach was moving average crossover, and using neural network or random forest, to train based on what the market looks like, to pick the "windows" for the EMA. Anyone else tried that?
Are we on a sustainable path? Should the EPA get more money or less? Right now they are getting a 25% cut. The reduction in regulations will help big corporations, it may even create a few jobs, but it's not in the best interest of the general public, including future generations.

A society isn't free (and neither are its markets) if there isn't a strong rule of law preventing aggression. Polluting non-localized/public resources aggresses against others and therefore reduces net freedom if there are no protections and countermeasures. This is all very consistent with a free market ideology, although some do not see it that way.

Imbued in your statement is an even more difficult knot to undo. "Tragedy of the Commons" is caused by the very existence of the modern state.

Common land = public land. In a truly private system, one in which all land was owned, every parcel of land would have some advocate who cared very deeply about the environmental quality of their land. You producing pollution on your land that negatively affected mine would result in a lawsuit.

It is really the very existence of the legal-fiction of "public land" (ie. land that everyone owns), which gives rise to many of the real environmental abuses.

Regex's are awesome as a swiss army knife.

Though in my experience, outside some edge cases where the format never changes (like matching a domain name in a URL) a regex is hell to maintain when you come back 3 years later.

There is also always the fun of people trying (and failing) to use regex in emails.
The next battle is plastic. Consumers and corporations both love the convenience but we cannot go on producing endless steams of virtually unrecyclable, non biodegradable waste from a finite resource.

Disclaimer: I'm the CEO of jClarity - a Java/JVM APM vendor.

You'll see plenty of APM vendors building on top of this technology. For years we've all tried to build lightweight mechanisms to get vital metrics out of the JVM with regards to Object and Execution profiling and although some strong progress was being made (Honest Profiler, Async Profiler et al), none of them are as comprehensive as Flight Recorder (Oracle did have the advantage of owning Java there).

Our own plans will be to refactor our ML diagnostic engine on top of Flight Recorder data. We're really, really looking forward to this!

Russia targets critical American infrastructure with ‘malicious cyberattacks’
Well, American Indians and probably most of the indigenous peoples of the Earth would thoroughly and fundamentally disagree that the invented concept is "public land", but rather "private land".

In a world where corporations buy land, pillage all of its natural resources, then sell off a smoking crater, the loser is always the environment, as corporations and people downcycle real estate constantly, extracting their profits, destroying what was there before, dodging externalities, and then often defrauding the next investor. Look what was there before and what is left over after the whole cycle. It's shit.

You should take a look at the forests of New Zealand and the movement to make logging on public lands illegal.
It's important to tell a balanced story. Parts of America was like this. Most of it was not.

Civil suits failed to curb industrial emissions in built-up areas, which then spilled over everywhere else. The EPA was a godsend.

I didn't understand the problem until the first time I visited L.A. Wow, what a mess. The air was so thick. It was disgusting.

It's amazing the progress we have made. But the EPA, like so many other agencies (I'm looking at you, TSA) is an agency without a limiting factor. You come up with a devil, you pass a bunch of rules, then you spend the next few years issuing press releases about how you're saving the world.

What's happened to American politics in many areas is that there are no feedback loops. When I look at the smog in LA back in the day and how the skies look now? That's a feedback loop. My government is doing something I want them to do. But when they talk about parts per billion versus parts per trillion? It's not evidently clear to me as a voter that we're not just continuing to expand our empire, just like the rest of the agencies.

I love what the EPA has done and I support them. But without some kind of limiting feedback loop my support really doesn't mean much. It's just a platitude. I don't support any agency that just runs off on their own taking more and more control over things for reasons I don't understand (or reasons I do understand but disagree with.)

So sure, EPA yay! So what the hell does that actually mean?

ADD: No matter what the group, big corporate governance groups, local town councils, Non-profit boards, or federal agencies, political groups exist for political reasons. We may laud their goals and love some of the things they've done, but when you are chartered because politics, and you get funding because politics, and people love or hate you because politics -- your primary concern is political. That's not a knock on anybody, that's just the logic of how these things work.

Very similar except Amigas had major market adoption as well as tech and cultural great points. But tech wise, Archimedes was a beast.
I generally agree with this, but then, I would also take into consideration that driving at, say, 70MPH with a Camrys is not the same that doing it with a BMW. All other things being equal, you are way less dangerous for others drivers in the latter case and this should also be used to "equalize" the fine for speeding.

Or is this too unfair for the people that cannot afford a BMW ?

I'm the head Cat Herder (so to speak) for the AdoptOpenJDK OpenJDK binary build farm. The OpenJDK builds we are producing pass the regular OpenJDK tests, a series of system tests and the official TCK/JCK. The quality bar is high and once we've stabilised this process for Java 8,9,10, 11+ and all of the platforms (AIX, ARM 32/64, Windows, Mac, Linux, z390, zOS etc) then we'll be broadly advertising its service. Whether or not we earn the trust of enterprise, we'll have to see :-).
It's also what makes the vulnerabilities not-that-bad. It's just another "peripheral not properly handling firmware updates" thing, which are all over the place.

The US has a trade deficit towards China, so China has more to lose in a trade war than the US. Therefore the US can try to impose a limited amount of trade sanctions on goods from China without getting punished for it. It seems just common sense economics to me.
Exactly this. FR will allow APM vendors (and individual teams) to build solutions on top of a continuous lightweight, always on profiler. It's actually a bit of a game changer for Java / JVM performance
This is maybe off topic, but it also may pave the way for us to use nuclear energy to produce electricity without greenhouse emissions. I think the problem we have yet to solve with nuclear, is safety diligence. Maybe some automation can help with modern tech? Or maybe with efficient manufacturing like 3d printing, we could tear them down and rebuild them each year?
They aren't reluctant, but you have to speak their language. You may be eager to see a government agency placing limits on businesses, but that won't go over well at all.

A better approach is to speak in terms of paying for what you damage. The economy matters, and you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet... but you pay for anything you break.

So you end up charging a price, preferably to be paid to those who are affected, and the market responds by cutting pollution. It's almost like fine or cap-and-trade, but without the arbitrary limit that would cause offense. The result may even be better, since you won't always end up exactly at the limit.

Tainting and spoiling are usually bad to the conservative mindset, but watch out for property rights. You get to mess up your own stuff. If you bought it and you own it, you can ruin it. Arguing for restrictions that infringe on a person's property won't get you very far at all.
The preconditions to this bill sound all too familiar though:

>By the late 1920s the economy of the United States had made exceptional gains in productivity due to electrification, which was a critical factor in mass production. Horses and mules had been replaced by motorcars, trucks and tractors. One-sixth to one-quarter of farmland previously devoted to feeding horses and mules was freed up, contributing to a surplus in farm produce. Although nominal and real wages had increased, they did not keep up with the productivity gains. As a result, the ability to produce exceeded market demand, a condition that was variously termed overproduction and underconsumption.
I guess my main point was that in some cases, like in my example, arguably harmless offence can result to relatively high punishment, because personal income doesn't often translate directly to disposable money. Of course irrational speed limits are also to blame.

In exreme cases this can result to absurdly high fines, e.g. as a real-world example from Finland, overspeeding at 82 km/h in 60 km/h area have resulted to 34,000 eur fine.
Thank you for making an eloquent and nuanced post. When it comes to things like "the environment" people lapse into simple morality tales and paint the world as all black / white.

I think RH is great for experienced investors and newcomers like my GF. She always wanted to get into investing but though learning curve is too steep with all the terminologies etc. Anyways, I told her to try RH.She loved it. It's one of the best and simplest trading apps ever designed IMHO. Anyways after using RH for 1 years she ended up opening Betterment and 401k account last year.

I think RH is great way to learn and enter into stock markets. You only learn by trading and losing money.

I also think they shouldn't have entered crypto now. Its too early and it just makes RH look more of YOLO traders/gambers targeted app.
If you're talking about the pre-colonization state of these cultures, they would disagree with a lot of concepts we use now. For example, zero and negative numbers.

Does it mean that zero and negative numbers are morally bankrupt?
As GP posted, this is a problem of profit maximisation over certain timeframe and tragedy of the commons illustrates that very well. Maximising profits over a quarter, year, and decade require different strategies. Given increasing uncertainty over longer timeframes and limited lifespan of executives/shareholders there is decreasing incentive to maximise profits over longer timeframes.

> The only circumstance under which I expect the free market to freely solve any environmental issues is if the consumer demands more (truly) environmentally friendly products and services, moving the demand and hence the profit from polluting products.

I believe both you and GP are correct as there is very little incentive to protect externalities affecting current business model over extended periods.
The problem with "as anything that hurts the market will hurt profits" is that while capitalist idealists believe the market is capable of long term thinking required for this to work, it very much isn't and probably never has been.

There are many environmentally damaging actions that offer short-to-medium term gain, and many of the changes necessary for long term gain have costs in the short term so are not attractive to the short/medium term thinkers.

The problem isn't even constrained to issues that will come to a head after our lifespans. There are many issues that are going to start biting hard in our lifetime, but to "the market" even that is long term: companies are thinking about profits/costs over the next five or ten years and individuals are thinking about maximising what they can get out of their current company in the next year or two before they move on.

Heck, many (both companies and individuals) are just thinking about how they will maximise (or in some cases, simply survive) the next quarter and anything else is too far in the future.

The state is the entity that owns all land - prior to states land was simply not owned - and state organs like the EPA are the advocates who care deeply about the environmental quality of public land.

You can't address environmental issues on a smaller scale - indeed even individual states are too small a scale be able to address inherently global problems like CO2 emissions. Any "private" owner of the entire planet, or even of a large enough region to address issues like fishery management or water table pollution, would have to function like a state and share the same problems (e.g. lack of competing alternatives).
Markets are a powerful tool that have been used to solve environmental problems cheaply and effectively before.

Unfortunately there's so much propaganda that effectively argues that corporations should be allowed to do anything they want and it'll all work out for the best that the whole thing has been tainted.

You're just describing negative externalities and the tragedy of the commons issues, well explored in economics. It also has little to do with the limited lifespans and more to do with the minimal negative impact any one person has on the environment, but with great gains that can be realized by not caring (hence, tragedy of the commons issue).
