Yes, the taxes are used in that way but they must be instituted by the government.

However, even a tax doesn't necessarily helps with the conservation of non-renewable resource. Since the tax is typically a percentage of the price, price going to 0 will still incentivize use of the resource despite tax being arbitrarily high. The same goes for cap-and-trade - which is how they actually failed - the emission quotas got very cheap and so everybody bought what they needed for business as usual.

The only way the carbon tax can work in case of carbon is that it becomes high enough that it's no longer efficient to produce energy from carbon sources compared to energy from renewable sources.

So the tax isn't really a punishment that would encourage conservation, it can just encourage substitute of different resource. If there isn't different resource.. you still won't conserve it even if you tax it a lot.

It's a shame because Slack is so painful. Reminds me of Twitter fighting 3rd party clients.
I haven't run into this problem yet, but I certainly expect to at some point. Especially since my last name is even a bit more suggestive than simply 'butts' or 'weiner'.
I don't really get the thesis. He ruined jazz? Or he took it as far as it could go? I think Ayler is probably more atonal and challenging than A Love Supreme, for instance. And jazz lives on in both more traditional forms and in the more popular "smooth jazz."

Ultimately I can't play music so I can't really speak to the author's argument that I'm cowed by being impressed and don't know what I'm talking about. But I enjoy listening to experimental jazz. A Love Supreme was the album that made me start enjoying jazz.
Definitely agree about the Alice Coltrane part. She's great. Now I'm not into Yoko's material but one could argue that her work has artistic merit other than just musical ones...
Yes, he sure doesn't know a dn thing about jazz...

Alice and Joe Henderson were doing great stuff in the 70's together too.

Beyond the chaos of the late 60's era in jazz, there are a lot of new directions jazz has taken since then. Jazz doesn't stand still, and I think that is core to it's nature. If this guy was looking to continue second wave bop for all eternity, he should just throw on some Branford/Wynton Marsalis and pretend like the 60's never happened.
And this applies how?
Folks, use IRC, XMPP, Matrix, etc. Using proprietary protocols is dumb.
Slack is no longer for "hackers". It's mainstream now. My company of 500 with only 30 devs uses it.

These are power moves by Slack. They want to have greater control over the communication medium and presentation

I do remember taking a while to work out which things needed single clicks and which needed double clicks when I was first introduced to Windows 95. It was basically undiscoverable for me and I needed someone to tell me a) that double clicking existed and b) to start a program from the desktop I needed to double-click on the icons.

I think until then I'd only ever used a Mac desktop, which didn't do the click-to-select thing.
I mean, Wynton Marsalis and those kind of players are around if all you consider jazz is the most classic kind.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this make Lerna incompatible with the GPL? Seeing as this adds additional license restrictions that aren't in the GPL, and the GPL is pretty clear about not permitting that.
> The fact that this 55-year-old recording is the year’s most significant jazz release tells you all you need to know about the health of jazz in 2018.

Writer has a point. As much as I like jazz, it's ossified badly as a genre. Love to see some forward motion that isn't free jazz or other noise.
A Love Supreme is still my favorite Coltrane album. But, I wanted to say that I can listen to Eric Dolphy (briefly mentioned here) on anything. Out to Lunch!, Andrew Hill's Point of Departure, and Mingusx5 are the places I'd start.

You realize California thought that different levels of funding was the problem and now almost all schools are funded by the state based on the number of students. More recently the state doubled down on this "we need more money for poor students" philosophy and now disadvantaged students get more funding. Castro Valley schools probably get less funding per student than Hayward. What people don't want to realize is that the most important component of if a school is "good" or not is the student population itself. You can't change this with funding or changes in teaching styles, or testing, etc. You can with forced busing, but that only works for a little while as parents who want a great school for their kids move to locations where busing is not in effect.

The only foolproof-ish way of knowing what is inside a tablet is tests done by some rather precise, expensive equipment that separates elements into their component parts (chromatography), and then analyzes the mass of the separated components (spectrometry) and compares them to a database of known components. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is also an option.

It is unlikely most people will have access to equipment with the precision necessary at home. There is an organization out there (https://www.ecstasydata.org/) that does anonymous GCMS tablet tests of MDMA in particular for $40 (and other substances for a higher price).

The typical tests out there for most people are reagent tests -- chemicals known to react with a desired substance to turn a certain color. Reagent tests are not foolproof -- the main thing you know is that if you do not get the desired color, you most likely don't have the correct product. It is possible to fool a reagent test. They are better than nothing for sure.

Taste, color, and crystallization are not really reliable ways of identifying the product.
It seems a bit weird to use the word "death" or "end" for music that's still being played by musicians and discovered by new listeners.

Careful if you google it. You'll find some bizarre stuff that had nothing to do with my treatment. It's really weird when you read about something that changed your life dramatically for the better and others trash it and talk about it using a description that sounds nothing like your reality. Really makes one wonder about other things getting blasted publicly.
I dont see any legal reason why you can't publish the extension under a different name. Your extension is under no legal obligation to follow their acceptable use policy, only the users that use your extension.
Great tech questions. Right now, in our beta/test network, we're receiving DIA service to a remote server location and that's it. No peering, no CDNs. Our next steps are to increase the bandwidth of our DIA, since that's more cost effective at our current scale than we'd benefit by peering. The step after that is to swap that DIA for transport and then colocate in DTLA to find peers. CDN caches often require a minimum number of customers on network, something like 5000 for Netflix, if I recall, so we'll have to grow before we can take advantage of caching.
I get that.
But clearly there are records there, records etched into stone in fact, that show that these events have occurred previously. That everyone turns this point into climate change denial is ridiculous.

The article mentions human moderators as a solution. Maybe, unless they're part of a pathologically awful system like Wikipedia.

You have a username policy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Username_policy

You have a notice board for blatant violations of policy (although it gets used for a lot of other stuff): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Usernames_for_admini...

You have a holding pen for usernames that have been reported but not yet blocked, for further monitoring: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Usernames_for_admini...

Because the username policy isn't enough policy the UAA and UAA Holding pen have their own instructions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment...

And because two different pages to report usernames to isn't enough there's yet another for things that aren't as blatant as UAA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment...

Good summary. For those who want to learn more, here's a more in-depth reply to the "Are running out of Helium?" questions. I'll just quote the definition that he uses, which in itself sheds light to teh matter:

"a mineral reserve is that amount of some mineral that we have identified the location of, weighed, measured, tested the extraction of and proven (and the proof is the extremely important part here) that we can, with current technology, and at current prices, make a profit by extracting it."

Perhaps a loose analogy would be with TAM/SAM/SOM.

> All the time, but it's not annoying because I don't care about being in front of everyone - I have left for my destination with ample time to make my appointment. I'm on the road to reach a destination, not to win the race. I don't care if people cut in front of me, because I have chosen not to and give them the safe room to do so.

> Driving aggressively is stressful, you [not specifically you] are fighting with everyone else on the road. You're going to risk your health in order to be directly ahead of me at a red traffic light two minutes later? I'll just pull to the right and give you room to pull in front of me. I try my best to get out of the way of aggressive driving; the further those drivers are away from me, the better.

the problem here is that you are (socially) forcing more cars to overtake in what sounds like nonstandard manners (from "I'll just pull to the right and give you room to pull in front of me" I can't tell if you're moving out of the left lane or pulling into the shoulder). by driving slower than other cars, you're impeding the ability for traffic to flow evenly which results in more frustration and more lane changes. both of these increase the likelihood of accidents occurring as they lead to more dangerous maneuvers occurring more frequently and with more emotion.

or rather, do you not see how your slow driving could be the cause of their aggressiveness? which doesn't really fit the adjective "courteous".

>Are you sure that belief is as widespread as (c) things are always getting worse?

Depends on the era, society and demographics. In the US, and in the geekier communities, it's usually (b), and sometimes (a), seldom (c).

>Do you find that regardless, this is subjective and saying things are a near certainty like it's objective is just reinforcing the parent's point?

No, I don't believe it is subjective. It might be fuzzy, and some might disagree, but e.g. quality of art output for a period is not subjective, in the way e.g. color preferences are.

>Not sure it's fair to take an average and compare it to an individual and pretend there is no middle ground.

The average mentioned is not like averaging mine and Bill Gates wealth. The standard deviation is quite low. If anything those that use their phones just say 10 minutes per day are the outliers.

Can I plan on running a green? Because greens turn into yellows abrubtly.

If someone slams their breaks in the middle of a clear road and I rear end them, then I am at fault. That doesn't mean it was safe to do so.

Hunger strikes are a form of protest to affect social or political change. Social and political issues are often slow, endemic, and creeping. Cleverly, hunger strikes transform these issues into something that is visual, easily empathized with, and quickly escalating.

Indeed, this illustrates quite well that physiological needs are the most important needs - if they were't, then they couldn't serve as a tool to escalate the stakes of the protest.

If spiritual needs were more important, you would have spirit strikes instead of hunger strikes.
In those cases, the user is not the customer. The old saying goes, if you're not the customer, you're the product. Google, FB and the like monetize users through advertising. The product is not Gmail or Facebook. It's advertising to their audience. You are the audience. Advertising is the product. And so the broadly applicable advice is still relevant. But you know this. In that light, ask the question - who is the customer and what do they want from the product? The customer is the advertiser, and they need to want what FB and Google and Twitter have to sell. You're confusing the value that the users get (which is how they build and maintain the audience) with the value that the customers get (advertising to that audience).

And besides, how many startup founders are REALLY building the next Google or Facebook right now? Most are building something much more modest, in which case, in those cases the user is most likely the customer and so building something they want to buy is important.

You’re right, I’ve found the article about that: https://duck.co/help/results/rduckduckgocom And also found “Redirect (when necessary)” setting.

I’ve switched off the setting and tested with web debugger. Apparently MS Edge respects the “referrer-policy: origin” HTTP header i.e. it only sends “Referer: https://duckduckgo.com/” without query strings attached.

However, duckduckgo treat MS Edge the same way as IE, i.e. it doesn’t believe it’s not an older browser. I’ve wrote their support, hopefully they’ll fix soon. Meanwhile, I’ve switched off “Redirect (when necessary)” setting and it works OK on this PC.

> If there isn't different resource..

There's always a different resource that you can substitute if you look widely enough at the big picture.

E.g. for party balloons, sure, maybe only helium works, but it's only there as an entertainment option, of which there are many substitutes.

Same for say, helium for scuba diving—sure, there might not be an alternative, but the purpose of most forms of scuba diving may be fulfilled by alternatives (submersibles / robots / snorkeling depending on whether for practical or enjoyment purposes).

A tax would drive people to fulfilling the wider economic and societal need without using a product that requires helium.

> which is how they actually failed

Cap and trade did not 'fail', it succeeded in capping emissions at the number of credits + allowances. If you want to reduce emissions more, then reduce the total quantity.

Price targeting and quantity targeting are just different ways of stating what your goal is.
That is not what’s being done. “The record” is a defined set of data that’s considered to be reliable. In this case, it covers the period starting when consistent, scientific meteorological observations were being regularly recorded.

I'm honestly glad you are now aware of that fact.

Now that we are both aware, let's talk about their license. Is it now a non-free license? How does it affect their current non-Palantir user base? Is it enforceable? Was it meant to be enforceable? Are there ways in which a license written by people who aren't themselves lawyers can come back to bite them?

This entire digression goes away completely if they put the relevant information nearly anywhere else. Their front page, README.md, change log, etc. Hell, they could even put it as a "did you know" comment in the body of the code.

They could do any or all of them and get just as much or more notoriety as they did by ruining their open source/free software compatible license.
>I would say that many things we consider (early) literature today were hand written on scrolls and not typeset on pages.

That's not the distinguishing point though. It's the form (of the story), not the medium. It could be clay tablets or bits on an SSD too.

But if we say "Breaking Bad" is literature then we lose distinguishing characteristics, which is not just "telling a story".

In we call TV or games "literature", we we could just go on an call "Breaking Bad" architecture or music too, why not? Like music, it evokes emotions and is shifting. Like architecture it has a structure and certain tolerances, etc.

We give more restrictive names for a reason, to not lose track of concepts and things in an amorphous blob.

>My point is that extension and experimentation with form are part of any creative tradition. It's really hard to create a useful and consistent definition of literature that includes everything that's similar to War and Peace and excludes everything that's similar to Breaking Bad.

Actually it sounds very easy, and every literary criticism magazine for example has managed to achieve it in its review section...
