only available to those who are by any reasonable standard quite wealthy

What reasonable standard? A shotgun or small game rifle is < $300 at Walmart and a license is about $20. I have a really hard time seeing that as needing to be "quite wealthy."

I agree with your other points, but I have to take issue with this one. I've let people we know, who live in the suburbs, hunt on our land and while I'm not a hunter, they certainly derive a great deal of pleasure from it.
"accept large scale engineering efforts aimed at adjusting our environment."

While these are interesting technologies, it's very difficult to see how they make sense economically. The cost/benefit ratio is invariably much worse than simply investing in emissions reductions.

If we have $X to invest in climate mitigation, it's always going to be better to spend it on technologies that reduce carbon emissions: replacing fossil-fuel power plants, electrification of transport, etc. To my knowledge there is no technology that removes a ton of carbon from the atmosphere that comes anywhere close to being competitive with what it costs to not emit that ton of carbon in the first place.

Of course, the day may come when all the easy carbon reductions have been made. If the climate is still not stabilising at that point, then we can start looking at all the climate engineering mega-projects.
>Quitting in protest is overrated. It assumes a level of economic stability only available to the very wealthy.

That would be "quitting in protest without that costing you anything special".

As for "quitting in protest" period, well, tons of people have quit in protest and risked their "food on the table" for ethical reasons...

Heck, tons of people have risked their lives (and even repercussions against their family), and quit or refused to do things they were ordered to for ethical reasons.

It doesn't take financial stability to do so -- just having a spine.

And here we're talking about sought after engineers at a major company (that can always get another job), and that already make cool 100,000+ a year and most have some savings in the bank.

It should be even easier for them to step down than to some poor guy with 3 kids and hand-to-mouth wages - that might even be blacklisted. And yet many people did the right thing under those circumstances.
Two wedding cakes it is.
I have seen some projects write their own documentation generating scripts, like RxJS, it may be worth writing your own home grown document generator if you can't customize Doxygen to your liking?

Here is an AMA we did on reddit which can answer some questions for you: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/4wb6up/we_are_blue_or...
> I don't care if they are Brazilians or Norwegian. If you leave an open hole for someone to fall down you are being negligent.

We agree then.

> _Brazilians_ don't leave uncovered holes in the street because of something entirely logical within their own culture. _They_ leave because they are lazy...

I guess it is fair to say that your point was quite hard to grasp based on your last sentence, seeing the other comments as well. If you say "Brazilians don't leave uncovered holes because of...", then it seems you are making a point about the whole population in a generalized sense. Therefore "they are lazy" also refer to this generalization.
I have this vague feeling that perfect contracts or laws would somehow contradict Gödel's incompleteness theorems.
Why are you imagining me saying they must be? I'm talking about the headline, not the article.

Highlighting his age in the headline tells us nothing, whereas highlighting that this is a grad student tells us why this is remarkable. You age doesn't say anything about what your skillset is, whereas your academic level is a damn fine indicator in this context.
For what it's worth, children from at-risk families achieve better education when the father ends up incarcerated. So we can absolutely make a case for "ripping families apart" and against supporting "families as they are".

> My findings suggest that on average, parents who are on the margin of incarceration are likely to reduce the amount of schooling their child attains if they instead remain in the household. This can be explained because the removal from the household of a violent parent or a negative role model can create a safer environment for a child (Johnson, 2008; Jaffee et al., 2003). Incarceration is also a mechanism that can limit the intergenerational transmission of violence, substance abuse, and crime to children. This result also relates to findings in other fields that conclude that See Kling (2006), Aizer and Doyle, 2013; Di Tella and Schargrodsky (2013), Mueller-Smith, 2015; and Bhuller et al., 2016, among others. For example, using data from Sweden, Hjalmarsson and Lindquist (2007) report significant father-son correlations in criminal activity that begin to appear between ages 7 and 12, and are 3 the positive effects of being raised by one’s parents depend on the quality of care they can provide (Jaffee et al., 2003).

true words.
Further,a successful ddos attack does not necessarily do physical damage.it succeeds by overwhelming the recipient's ability to deal with requests. Thus can cause large amount of "damage" to software systems and underlying business through outages etc,but again,not necessarily any physical damage per se.

i thought nominal typing was only for the classes?
they will take care of themselves if they can afford to sponsor their children aboard
I too was thinking along these lines but I think these are inflated numbers.

Average class room size is 21.6 for elementary schools that are self-contained (26 for departmentalized). https://nces.ed.gov/surveys/sass/tables/sass1112_2013314_t1s... I think the desire is for 20 or less. When you're dealing with children, a lot of teachers are required.

So let's say LeBron is going for 20:1. Then it's now $200k per class. Let's say half of that goes to the teacher due to competitive pay and payroll tax + healthcare + benefits. You're looking at $5k/student for 3 healthy meals a day, facilities, and everything else.

Doesn't seem like very much anymore. You could dock teacher pay more but it won't probably be enough to outweigh the cons.

One could also try to up the ratio of students:teachers but then you're just going to give the kids a worse education and the teachers a much worse teaching environment. I think having a small classroom size is pretty important for kids who are struggling as they need more attention. And this school is literally for struggling kids - so there's gonna be a lot of competition for attention.
It takes a socket handle.
Downvoting my comment does not answer the question. Either there is evidence, or there is not. You might not like the implication of the evidence, but you don't get to ignore it and call it a "cult".

The summer break is also often when the weather is the hottest. Many schools don't have air conditioning, but would need it to provide a conducive learning environment in the heat of the summer. A schedule change combined with a few degrees of climate change turns a few rather hot days a school year into weeks of being too hot to learn.

I'm excited to see a high-profile project like this in Nim :)

Any challenges with getting Nim on mobile? Do you compile to objective-C for iOS devices?
Are they though? As a TypeScript user with very little Flow experience it seems like they are about the same:

https://flow.org/en/docs/lang/nominal-structural/

"For example, Flow uses structural typing for objects and functions, but nominal typing for classes." This statement also applies to TS.

Flow does have nominally typed Opaque Type Aliases[1], which are essentially newtypes from what I've gathered. However, you can build similar zero-cost newtypes in TypeScript using union types, casting and "unique symbol"[2].

Django won't let you name a model field with a double underscore, I believe. Not sure how this would work with a Postgres JSON type column though, but it would probably throw an error.
In your original post you listed out a bunch of issues that never amounted to anything.

Did it occur to you that they never amounted to anything because people did shit about them? It wasn't the economy that stopped the Ozone hole from expanding. It wasn't technological innovation that brought down the Soviet Union and ended Red Scare.

Did it occur to you that just because you live an insulated life, that these disasters are actually happening right now?

It doesn't seem like you're as bad as a denialist, but you're worse than a geopolitical isolationist. You're an individual isolationist and your mantra seems to be, "Fuck you, I've got mine".
Also consider dual licensing as a solution. For instance, you can release code under a restrictive open source license (such as GPL or AGPL) and also offer the code for a fee under a non-open license that allows it to be used in closed-source projects.

Ask HN: Help me find an online hangout for freelancers and remote people?
I am working solo on my little projects at home.

Sometime back, I came across a site, styled like stackoverflow, where freelancers posted casual questions and chatted. It was more like an virtual water cooler.

If anyone knows a site like that, pl post it here. Thank you
I did a back of the envelope calculation or maybe better a guesstimate on this awhile back. At perfect conversion efficiency you could turn emitted CO2 back to carbon using 15-20 average sized nuclear power plants. If you realistically get 10% overall efficiency then maybe you need 200 of them. All that assumes you can actually build chemical cells that don't need continuous replacement. It also just compensates for current emissions, and doesn't turn the clock back. My numbers could be very wrong in either direction.

My takeaway was just like losing weight. It's more effective to eat less than to exercise. Here, it's bound to be better to burn less.

This was an electrochemical approach however. It's possible some bio guy will figure it out using photosynthesis.
Interesting that the data accessed was very specifically only limited to:

* A complete copy of an old database backup containing very early Reddit user data -- from the site’s launch in 2005 through May 2007

* Logs containing the email digests we sent between June 3 and June 17, 2018

Also of note:

"Already having our primary access points for code and infrastructure behind strong authentication requiring two factor authentication (2FA), we learned that SMS-based authentication is not nearly as secure as we would hope, and the main attack was via SMS intercept."

If this doesn't put the nail in the coffin of SMS-based 2FA, I'm not sure what will.
>there's still considerable (and, I think, reasonably rare) skill involved in making something that the general public wants to pluck off of the paperback shelves

Is there? The general public can be sold any kind of crap that takes minimal effort -- and in the same way, don't buy masterpieces that take tremendous effort and skill to create.

>It might be tawdry, silly, and factually inaccurate, but those qualities are orthogonal to whether or not you can write a story that people want to buy.

This isn't an argument on actual writing skill though.

It's like you measure a new category like "skill of writing best-selling stuff" that's not necessarily connected to the skill of writing itself -- just to the degree of sales.

But one can sell bad stuff or skilless stuff too. Sales don't show anything more than a skill in sales themselves.
