It's perfectly reasonable to look at the magnet school model as a good thing. However, you now have to defend the associated sacrifices.

Well we accept deaths in cars... right now it's hard to tell the number but based on what Tesla said, it seems like self-driving cars stats are similar to normal cars.

Ignoring self-driving car is essentially accepting deaths in non-self-driving car just as much...

I sure hope you never argued that we should stop people from driving altogether...
I don't believe the CO2 levels we currently have (and are projected to have) in the atmosphere is a real threat. I don't believe the doomsday scenarios, apparently caused through cow farts and burning natural gas or from combustion engines. Energy must be expended to release CO2, and the energy is almost 0 in comparison to the energy needed to raise sea levels by say, 10 feet. We are talking millions of nuclear bombs worth of energy needed to accomplish that. There is something off with this. I don't believe the tiny amount of CO2 in our atmosphere will enable the sun to heat the planet to the doomsday levels. Predictions were made since the 80s, 90s, 00's that said our coastal cities should be literally destroyed by now... except that they aren't.

There are a lot of people who stand to profit from the climate change lobby: professors, alternate energy producers, politicians, government, media. They all want money invested in THEIR pet projects. And conveniently, it serves as a great distraction from issues on the horizon that WILL have a guaranteed negative affect on your children's quality of life, but I wont get into that, since what I'm writing is divisive enough as it is.

When it comes to the climate, you will be fine, we will be fine, our kids will be fine, the sky will not fall, the seas will not swallow up our cities (excluding regular weather), America will not become a desert (unless that super-volcano blows). It is sensationalism.

Yes. Hunting/fishing rules/regulations in most of Europe reflect a society where (until recently) only the upper classes owned land and it was illegal for commoners to take any resource from that land without the permission of the landowner

I always love seeing people discover new things about old computers. It's always fascinating the kinds of things people can get them to do. Especially ones like this without any modern day hardware mods. Just some clever programming.
The cynic in me was thinking the same thing. There's going to have to be a change of thinking with a lot of folks as well - that bike may represent $20 worth of scrap metal, $20 in a pocket now that might pay for food, necessities, habits. And that program could quickly turn dark. Anecdotally, a close friend of mine operated a pawn shop in a downtrodden area of Detroit and would frequently comment on how many brand new bikes were walked through the door, for which they paid very little.

Getting some folks to realize that it's providing freedom rather than fast cash is going to be an accomplishment. Perhaps this will even produce a positive cultural shift.
books are transient, the knowledge within is infinite in its potential as they can be transmuted back to reality in various forms (application, derivation, transference).

I'd much rather someone be comfortable enough to move the book from place to place, to adjust or bend the book to find comfort in its reading and get the words from the page to their head than I would that the book be comfortable. As I believe a human is better placed (especially today where video is king) to transfer that information than a book might be.

IMO a book is fine to be disposed if it is no longer relevant (I have thrown out books about The Compact .NET Framework for example) nor unique.
Now that the plan is out in the open that Google has an active development project that censors the web with trivial government input, India will try to shoehorn Google into putting this into production with Indian populace. It will lead to degradation of democracy, while Google should be doing opposite since they bring the whole web to the user. Honestly, very very disconcerting from Google. Indian democracy is already fickle and project like this will accelerate the process even further. Also, minorities will be threatened even more since their vernacular is not on Google and English media news is not consumed by them. They live on local language news mainly, and they remain aloof from bigger machinations of the government against them. Absolutely appalling thinking about the future with this in use because India won't be able to push this project right now, but who knows what will happen when they are $5 Trillion economy 10-15 years from now. How come Sundar Pichai having an Indian background, didn't think about this aspect? Googlers please think about this one, and not endanger minorities because English language media in India is already biased and pushes officially sanctioned lines a lot, especially when it comes to minorities. Don't murder them please.

No "need" for a separate train track, I suppose. I wonder if that would be a net savings in the long run though.
To quote Tom Swift (from Gulliver's Travels):

Judges are picked out from the most dextrous lawyers, who are grown old or lazy, and having been biased all their lives against truth or equity, are under such a fatal necessity of favoring fraud, perjury and oppression, that I have known several of them to refuse a large bribe from the side where justice lay, rather than injure the faculty by doing any thing unbecoming their nature in office.

> What about the gigantic consumption of water this implies?

The water isn't destroyed. It goes right back into the ecosystem. The planet surface is 70% water. We aren't running out of water.

> how many people could we feed?
The US could probably feed the entire world with meat, with unlimited energy / $$. People going hungry is not a food production problem, it's an economic and logistic problem.
If we use plant based food, we could probably feed 3X the world problem (or use 1/3rd the land). World hunger isn't caused by lack of productive land.

Your other point on meat requires more land use and energy than plant food is correct.

Make of it what you will, but I worked at Google for a time and I came out more convinced that my data is safer there. This was 2012 so maybe things have changed since then, but we need better alternatives than things like FastMail (and I'd argue Firefox, but that's for another thread).

Only yesterday, a coworker and I were discussing how $5.5 billion is something like 5% of Google's cash reserves. All-in-all, not the end of the world.

And because of the cost the accountants demand tight centralised control, which ends up being slow and unresponsive, and you find yourself spinning (emailing, writing business cases, managing and reporting expenditure) instead of doing. It is a huge negative.

> Longer school days, 3 meals, and a longer school year helps students stay focused.

The middle one is absolutely true, the other two I really doubt e.g. in Finland or Germany, schoolday starts around 9AM and ends around 2PM, yielding 3h30 to 4h studies a day accounting for breaks, 5 days/week, with little homework (maybe 5h/week total). Afternoon is usually dedicated to clubs.
I want to tie this in with what happened to Youtube after Google bought it but I assume its speaking to the choir at this point.
> It's not fair to expect a technology company to fight a major world economic power

Google fights major world powers every day [1, 2].

And Google doesn't have to fight to force the Chinese government to stop censoring their citizens.

Google can simply choose not to partner with repressive regimes in enabling and legitimizing censorship and mass surveillance.

I dug up the original article for some fact checking, and it seems my previous post has a few mistakes in it. There are "grams" of silver and gold (each or together? The article does not specify.) and "kilograms" of copper in a tonne of ashes. Other metals are also extracted, but their amount or value is not specified.

It further turns out that there is a monetary payment for the service, but it is low because of the valuable metals. The article also tells that the machine can sort around 100000 tonnes of ashes annually.

Not sure where you're based, but as a first step, I'd probably recommend buying a oyster mushroom grow kit locally or online. All you need to do is mist it daily and you'll get oyster mushrooms in about a week. It will give you an idea of what success looks like.

If you like that, then the next level of difficulty is creating your own fruiting kits using mushroom spawn. I'm in Australia, but you can buy it from somewhere like here if you're in the US: http://out-grow.com/live-mushroom-spawn-c-12/. You basically mix the spawn with treated straw or sawdust and put it in containers, the spawn will colonise and shortly after you'll get mushrooms. Most sites will recommend you sterilise or pasteurise the straw/sawdust (they call this the substrate), but the easiest way to grow without pasteurising/sterilising is using paper, see here as an example: http://re-thinkgreen.com/2016/02/24/mushroom-kit/

Stamets is regarded as the guru, but I think "The Essential Guide to Cultivating Mushrooms" (https://www.amazon.com/Essential-Guide-Cultivating-Mushrooms...) is a better starting point for the beginner. You don't need to be as much of a clean freak as he makes out, there are plenty of low-tech methods.

I'm in the process of writing a short guide on growing shiitake at home, it's harder than oyster mushrooms but once you get the basics it's pretty easy too. It's pretty crazy the amount of mushrooms you can grow with basically no space, you can see my son here with some we harvested recently: http://www.mushroom.guide/

If you're in a bigger city, there should also be day courses to learn the basics, search for something like "grow gourmet mushrooms [cityname]"

Ah, that force. Does this force allow VPNs, or are you just reusing existing open ports for... alternative purposes? :)

In case of the former, then Wireguard will likely be permitted some day as the status quo of VPNs. OpenVPN and IPSec appear as dead ends, so it's just a matter of time. If Wireguard is successfully upstreamed soon, I wouldn't be surprised if it rose to the throne of VPN monopoly sooner rather than later.

In case of the latter, you're out of luck without a compat mode or a bridge tool... :/

That stretch of highway seems like about 95% of the way to the place where you buried the bodies, or the barrels full of cash and/or guns. Or a good spot to pick up a supernatural hitchhiker of some sort, like your own father, but 5 years before you were conceived.

I got married in the US but had the traditional French cake: the "Pièce Montée", a tower of cream puffs that are glued together with caramel. It satisfies both the flashy tower requirement, and is relatively easy to dish out since it's just a matter of pulling it apart, serving 2-3 cream puffs per person.

And it tastes way better than the US cakes which are glorified pound cakes with tasteless super-sweet icing.

Because it will degrade democracy in countries like India. They will implement this censored version in a jiff. Government rules and laws can always change, this project means they will never change towards the better and not allow people to rake in the freedom that democracy implements. This project is certain to weaken democracy all around.
Starbucks is absolutely ahead of the curve on this one, and its a system that every major retailer should probably investigate.

What I don't want to do is have an app installed for every retailer. But if they integrate with Apple/Google Pay then I'm all for it.
Still reads as irrational to me, but at least it's technically accurate.

It's worth remembering that "data" as they say stales very quickly. Knowing that you ordered a package two months ago is far less interesting than knowing you're expecting one next week. Or that you'll be booking a plane trip soon, and wouldn't you just love to know Delta is cheapest on that date?

"Having your data" isn't a binary concept. Their services degrade substantially once you turn off the firehose. You'll still get ads, but they won't be tailored to you. Maps won't be able to show your current position. Assistant won't be able to recognize your voice.

And that's fine, if you prefer that approach. But the concept of "having your data" in a historical context is meaningless. The only thing that matters is if that firehose is still available to them.

Turn it off if you like. It isn't a lost cause.
Certainly doable, but it really looks like the unnecessary hard way to do it.

If you set up openvpn somewhere you can just handout .ovpn files and tell your relatives to install the openvpn client on windows. Then they just have to double-click the .ovpn file and iconise "that black window that appears" (the DOS prompt window).

But they're just using the Chromebooks to access Google Docs and Google Classroom for school work. The cloud ecosystem is what will matter more than the browser used to get there. Kids care even less about the hardware it's running on.
