Shortage of charging stations to become a bottleneck to mass adoption of EVs?
The big cycle is caused by the reaction of magnesium silicate with carbon dioxide. Mg silicate is the chief component of Earth's mantle. As temperature increases, silicate rocks are worn away faster by rain and wind, and absorb more CO2. This CO2 eventually sinks down into the mantle as magnesium carbonate, where it is very slowly re-released by volcanoes (the majority of Earth's carbon is in the mantle). As CO2 is sequestered, the Earth cools, and the weathering of silicate rocks slows, especially when they are covered by glaciers. Then the release of CO2 by volcanoes starts to outpace the absorption by olivine, and the atmosphere warms up again.

Eventually as the Sun gets brighter, the equilibrium amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is expected to drop below the requirements for plant life, and the Earth will die. By heating the atmosphere, we hasten the arrival of the next glacial cycle, but we are (thankfully) at low risk of starving the biosphere.

It sounds like you’re missing some things.

Of course, substance possession and other victimless crimes are the useful place to begin.

And it’s crucial to differentiate between privatized prison labor and state prison labor. Privatizing human rights raises a major moral discrepancy as it stands. Profiteering of human rights with forced labor is a fair definition of slavery in my view.

Your argument concerns justice, though. Following emancipation, no time was lost in instituting the strong prison labor system the South known for. When there’s a profit motive, the entire system of justice becomes contentious. If seeking to get murderers off the streets (something I support) it’s critical we not conflate that civic duty with profiteering motives, lest we become the demon, or at least hypocrites. Of course, we popularly criticize the Soviet Gulag system on these same terms, among others.

There’s more, too. Getting a murderer off the streets is a categorically different goal from inflicting punishment or vengance. Getting a murderer off the streets is an easy decision. Punishing them is also widely supported, but still categorically different. If we intend a moral system, we must differentiate and actively acknowledge the difference.

To end on an up note: if temperatures rise, the atmosphere will become (much) wetter, probably turning the Sahara into a fertile greenhouse again.

Built-in functions currently consume 700 KB in each Isolate (an Isolate roughly corresponds to a browser tab in Chrome). This is quite wasteful, and last year we began working on reducing this overhead. In V8 v6.4, we shipped lazy deserialization, ensuring that each Isolate only pays for the built-ins that it actually needs (but each Isolate still had its own copy).

Also known as Autoload. What’s old is new again... http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Aut...

Embedded built-ins go one step further. An embedded built-in is shared by all Isolates, and embedded into the binary itself instead of copied onto the JavaScript heap. This means that built-ins exist in memory only once regardless of how many Isolates are running, an especially useful property now that Site Isolation has been enabled by default.

Inb4 security vuln in a builtin is used to pivot across tabs or reveal state in other tabs. Like, say, a timing attack on regex exec to reveal whether the word “Facebook” appears in some other tab. </baseless>

If you think you can legislate the world away from big data and data mining through legislation you are terribly naive. At most it will punish a few surface level players like FB while the massive industry continues to flourish at every single major consumer company with a modern marketing dept. Not to mention the many billion dollar companies you've never heard of who trade in this data, all the consumer financial companies, the government itself (IRS and security agencies), etc etc.

This rabbit is not going back in the hat. We need better tools which respect users, behaviour change via a new common sense, and decentralization. Not flashy legal theatrics that is out of date well before its written in law.
Flutter is probably the last attempt to get some Dart popularity.

When Dart came out, Google build it to improve on JavaScript, by replacing it with a whole new language. Microsoft built TypeScript to integrate with JavaScript. I thought, "MS, right? Cobbling together some JS add-on, who will use that? Better get a whole now language that doesn't carry around that baggage from JS :D"

I think Dart brought not enough new/better on the table, while having a worse JavaScript-interop than TypeScript. I mean it doesn't even have non-nullable types, which seems to be a standard feature in modern type-systems (Rust, Flow, TypeScript, Reason, etc.)

My feeling is, some people will hype it a bit, because Flutter has a better architecture than alternatives like React-Native, but with projects like Fabric and Reason, nobody will care about it in a few years.

But well, I also was wrong with my TypeScript prediction :D
I wonder if we can abuse copyright in a similar way to protect our privacy. Eg have our address contain a verse from a poem we've written thus anyone sharing our against our express permission is in violation of distributing our copyrighted content.

Unfortunately the real problem isn't so much the concept but rather the cost of hiring lawyers skilled enough to take on multi-million dollar companies.
I believe this is a cultural problem with Microsoft. Probably similar to other companies but it was very evident at Microsoft. People responsible to allocate resources (The management chain) rarely dogfood the product.

While the Engineers and PM would complain a lot about quality issues, management wants to prioritize more features. It was a running joke at Microsoft: No one gets promoted for improving existing things, if you want a quick promo, build a new thing.

So when you see a bazillion half baked things in Azure. That’s because someone got promoted for building each of those half baked things and moving on to the next big thing.

Going from 0-90% is the same amount of work as 90-99% and the same amount of work as 99.0% - 99.99%. Making things insanely great is hard and requires a lot of dedicated focus and a commitment to set a higher bar for yourself.

This description is full of hyperbolic generalities. The available land example may or may not be comprehensive, but at least it's specific.

I think the biggest problem that I have about everything climate change / global warming is that we are making laws to force (don't forget that force means pointing guns at people regardless of the warm and fuzzy intentions used to sell it) entire populations and their economies in the absence of so much specific knowledge. That doesn't make me a denier because accept / deny is not really the issue. Just because I accept the general premise doesn't mean that I trust the depth of the understanding to the point that I am willing to turn a gun on my neighbor to either reduce their liberty and / or confiscate their personal property in the name of said premise.
I'm not sure how you can claim there isn't evidence of tampering with elections in a "direct" manner, and then claim there's tampering without evidence.

I've definitely felt like I'm in the stages of grief. This feels accurate. We're collectively facing our own mortality, in the way that everyone who lives long enough must eventually. And just like that personal mortality, the future is unknown. Our world could end next year, or in a hundred years. I can't save myself or my family any more than I can stop them getting a fatal disease or being hit by a truck. All we can do is spend all the time we've got together, and hope it's longer rather than shorter.

I hope that doesn't sound too morbid. It's a good philosophy to live by regardless of whether or not the end is nigh.

To put it another way, the world is going to end in our lifetimes. And that's ok. Because the world ends for everybody, at the end of their life.

> But many people seem to think chlorine isn't toxic because it's so common.

> Note: There is _no_ known antidote to chlorine poisoning. (an example of how there is a toxin around us everyday, in our drinking water, in our pools, on our clothes, cleaning products, etc...) Why is there no outrage over this?

There’s probably no credible outrage for two major reasons:

- Chlorine in water is not actually a meaningful problem. Unlike, say, asbestos, there are many, many chemicals that are problematic in high concentrations and very safe in low concentrations. As extreme examples, water and sodium chloride will both kill you if taken in excess. Chlorine at ~4 ppm in tap water is a bit stinky but won’t hurt you even after a lifetime of exposure. And Chlorine at ~3 ppm in a swimming pool with an appropriate level of cyanuric acid added is barely perceptible.

- There aren’t credible alternatives. We can chlorinate our water, or we can add monochloramine, or we could let pathogens grow in our municipal plumbing. The latter will sicken people on a large scale.
‘Survival of our democracy’ depends on banning websites, Dem senator says
If there is one thing I fail to understand it is the impulse to electronic-ify our elections.

Why? Do we have a history of securing computers and keeping them secure over time? No.

Are computerized elections understandable to laypersons? No. Worse; even if the election was tallied faithfully by a computerized system, a demagogic candidate can whip up fervour and call the election into question.

And without bug bounties there is no legal way for whitehats to pentest these things. We're stuck with shitty scans and guessing at best. Even so, from what I've seen I fail to see why we should trust these votings systems.

But the public doesn't care. They don't understand that code is just data and it can alter itself. The voting machine industry has lobbyists. The paper ballot industry doesn't exist.

I agree, but it should also describe what Scheme continuations are, compared to the delimited function object continuations that are used in practice elsewhere.

However, the notion is technically subsumed within the notion of a "simplified" language, as Scheme continuations are a low level operation quite often used to construct what other languages have out of the box.
Lisp: Differences Between Common Lisp, Racket, Clojure, Emacs Lisp
I had a crush in high school. Ended up going to the same college and were semi-close friends during that time.

One day I heard she had broken up with her boyfriend, and lo and behold I get a text from her that she wants me to come over urgently. It's almost midnight. She says she needs help with her Google account from a tech pro.

The thing is, this woman has a very unique name. Such a beautiful name. Not one I have ever heard before or since. So for all of her online accounts, her username is just her first name. @firstname on Twitter, firstname@yahoo.com, etc.

When I got there she told me she'd decided to finally take my advice. I'd been telling her for years to switch from Yahoo to Gmail. But there was a problem: when we tried to register it, Google told us "this account name is taken".

"This will be simple," I thought. She must have registered it and forgotten about it, we'll just send the password reset to her Yahoo email. But when we went to the password reset page Google told us "this account does not exist".

Seemingly contradictory. It must be a bug!

I told her I would need to do some research and hurried out. I remember the confused look on her face, I don't think she wanted me to leave. Surely a bit of Googling and emailing and I could get her the coveted email address and be the hero! Stupid me.

After digging for hours I did find some mysterious @google.com email addresses and I tried those. I think I found a Google employee via my extended Facebook network and reached out. A week went by, I never heard back.

One day I decided to try to get into the Google campus in Cambridge. Unsurprisingly, I was not granted entry. The doorman was amused by my attempt at a romantic gesture so he said maybe he'd tell my story to somebody inside.

I even applied for a job at Google so that I could hopefully speak to a recruiter. Someone, anyone at Google. My time was running out. But at the time I had no experience and was a sophomore in college. No calls.

I'm still friends with that woman but nothing ever happened. She's now engaged.

I know it wasn't Google's fault that I lost my college crush. If I hadn't been so socially inept at the time it may have gone differently.

But if anyone from Google ever sees this, please get in touch[1]. The bug still exists. I just know she'd be really happy to have that email address.

If we lost them all tomorrow, sure. But sea level is rising slowly enough that we can go quite a while just abandoning the land right on the coast that is becoming unusable as it becomes unusable. People will see the writing on the wall and either move farther inland or to some other city, without the apocalyptic aspects. Some cities without higher ground nearby will have a harder time, though.

I'm curious if anyone knows of a source of statistics for land area that has been abandoned due to rising sea levels. How quickly is this happening now?

Look beyond the face value and see the implication
couple things:

1. There's still a lot of uncertainty in the science. I'm not denying climate change, I'm saying that newspapers love to report the worst of all possible scenarios as fact. I used to work in one, I know how they think. Go read the actual papers and take note of the error bars. Try looking at the best of all possible outcomes (which is just as likely), and see where that would leave us.

2. If everything you fear is true, it will happen over a hundred plus years, not the next 10. We will have plenty of time to knock down the building that is now flooding and convert the next one behind it to be the new coast. If you doubt we can do this, go visit Venice. Every building there is built on the one beneath it that sank. If you can find some, talk to some people who have lived through a war. They coped with things that we think of as intolerable. Humans are very adaptable.

Finally, you still have to live your life. Make climate change your life's purpose, or shrug and accept it, your life will carry on. You will live another day, and you have to decide what to do in that day. Just keep breathing.

The EPA has not approved any new uses of asbestos. Quite the contrary:

https://www.epa.gov/asbestos/federal-register-notice-propose...
