Yes, there are lots. I would say Mike Bostock of d3 fame is an example of someone who does that well, as so is Yi Shen (https://twitter.com/pissang1).
The good thing about AC is that it generates heat as a by-product but in most cases, this is not used. Imagine if local air-con could provide all of a hospital/school/government building's hot water (and heating since they tend to roast in the UK).

Perhaps there is a market for a company that links the air-con user and local large users of hot water or even factories that need heat for their work.

Whether or not the bias is intentional, this reminds me of the fairly recent accusations that claimed twitter was deliberatley preventing republican congressman from showing up on the front page. They said it wasn't deliberate, it was all done by an algorithm...that just happened to be written in a way that only flagged members of one political party.

Looking at the bigger picture, this may be a case of big tech companies not caring about political diversity while hiring, creating a cultural bias in their products. Just like the Usenix talk by the Harvard professor citing a study that facial recognition developed by a Japanese company had trouble recognizing non-asian faces, if a company's culture is mostly homogenous and leans heavily toward one end of the political spectrum, the developers could be adding an unconcsious bias to their algorithms that ranks people and websites at the other end of the political spectrum as untrustworthy or malicious. Normally political bias doesn't matter when it comes to products, a chair functions the same whether a liberal or conservative made it, but when the product is a list of relevant and trustworthy sites in response to a query, political bias can be very evident in the product.

An example I've seen of the news bias was shortly after Trump was elected, their was a covert raid on an Al Qaeda compound in Yemen. On CNN, the headline was something like "Trump authorizes covert raid that results in multiple Navy SEAL casualties." The Fox headline was something like "Trump authorizes covert raid of Al Qaeda stronghold that results in trove of intelligence data". Both are true, but the focus and tone of the articles was wildly different. If Google's algorithm results in only sites with a negative bias against Trump being pushed to the top of search results, I don't see why it shouldn't be investigated for the same reason that pro-Trump Russian influence is being investigated on social media sites. I think everyone can agree that covert meddling in politics, whether intentional or not, is a threat to democracy and fair elections.

> I'm also transgender. But my transition so far has been really difficult (social isolation, lack of support.. etc), my voice is still really manly and I don't really pass at all (which probably weirds people out.. so I would rather say it upfront so I don't need to have anxiety about it, I have alot of anxiety issues). I also have not been able to change my name yet, legally its still "Thomas".

w.r.t. the 0-day release: Well that's some seriously irresponsible stuff right there.

I think she has a tough time (she's transgender and doesn't have support from her peers). It's sad that she hasn't found a way to live a happy life although she clearly has serious skills. I hope she'll be fine.

I encourage you to look at things from the perspective of someone new to LDAP, or maybe someone new to directory services in general.

LDAP already introduces its own terminology which is a little confusing at first. And it is an object database, which will be less familiar to many people than a relational database. Add to that the 'database number' thing when it might not be clear to beginners what is going into which one and why.

Really great idea. In the awkward spaces city-dwellers like myself have to contend with, finding a desk that uses space well is a massive pain. For my current desk I ended up ordering countertop and building it myself. If this had been around I would have used it. Love the customisation options. As others have said it's a little expensive, but frankly paying an extra hundred quid for a desk (something I use a lot) that's perfect isn't a big deal.

Nobody is going to listen to people in heated homes asking other people to stop cooling their homes. It's not going to happen.

According to https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S030142150... cooling will exceed heating in 2060. So the real problem here are rich cold countries.
Wouldn’t installing PV on people’s homes be more similar to building the power poles/ infrastructure that already exists for coal, and not just running a plant?

From my University US history class, this is how my professor described how slavery was allowed by the Constitution: the founding fathers were generally against slavery (at least some of them), but they knew that Americans would never agree to the terms of the Constitution if it included abolishing slavery. From what I understand, the founding fathers decided to just let the system work itself out.
Actually, that's a great idea - being able to publish the whole document as JSON (a bit like Google Doc's Publish to Web feature which Arcentry is using to load its component data from a spreadsheet). It definitely makes sense to add that to the export options, thanks for suggesting. In regards to embedding, I'm afraid there's currently only image download or the embed as the 3D viewer available (which is about 500k, granted)
Check out the Rail API gem. It's default in Rails 5 and makes JSON and HTML the default.
Censorship isn't the best word for this, but he's certainly not promoting free speech here. Promoting free speech would mean acknowledging that Google can do whatever it wants, and say whatever it wants to say via its search results, whether the government likes the results or not.

Regarding the media, there's nothing wrong with the president and the media having an adversarial relationship and in fact I think that's the norm. But I wouldn't describe a president attacking the media as promoting free speech.

plus there is still a lot of heating done with oil and even coal in some places. the temperature difference alone should point to heating being more expensive. (going from freezing to acceptable is a lot more energy than from hot to the same temperature).

Proven method for organizing personal knowledge
I'm a prolific documentarian. I write all meeting notes, organize all projects, write all docs for our products. I write daily lists and items and every damn thing; everything is markdown.
Used to use emacs org-mode, now use vs code. Having trouble organizing, need your help.

- File naming conventions: What works and how?

I typically create and name a new file for each project, meeting, etc. I have no naming convention for file names and end up with a huge list of files.

- Outlining: What works and why?

I sometimes follow the correct markdown hierarchy for outlines. Sometimes not. I have trouble knowing when to just use bold or when to use `####`. As such, my docs are not consistently outlined.

- Connecting content: This is the biggest painpoint.

I have notes from 100 meetings this year. How do I connect them in a logical way ON THE FLY? I have meetings in conjunction with projects. How do I connect the meeting to the project?

High level workflow responses are valued. Thank you for sharing. Time.
Please, let's lose this Elixir = Ruby.new nonsense. Once you get beyond the superficial syntax similarities between Elixir and Ruby the 2 languages couldn't be further apart. Ruby is mutable/OOP whilst Elixir is immutable/FP. Diametrically opposite so anyone who is heavily invested in Ruby's OOP mindset is going to have a shock if they dive into Elixir.

Bond funds churn. Not only does this create tax implications, it also means instead of earning 2% (when prevailing rates are 3%), you lose 1%.

Bond funds are better bets for foreign, high-yield and other creditors where the credit component dominates the rate component. Paying someone to buy your Treasuries, on the other hand, is wasteful.

I think one aspect that is forgotten is that the artist/programmer of generative art still provides value in curation. One of my favorite corners of the internet is http://kingjamesprogramming.tumblr.com/ . On the face of it these are just Markov chain sentences. However, the author still had agency in choosing not only the source material but also the chains he/she chose to publish. I'm sure for each post there are dozens of sentences discarded.
Parents are the authorities given the responsibility of oversight over their own kids in order to protect them from predators. 99.9% of the time anybody else who tries to stick their nose in will not know better than the parents what is best for the kid.

Its a hueristic so its expected to fail, but obviously I’d argue most good games do have ignorable if not good menu transitions. But regardless, I think I would’ve better described it as targetting how much power the aesthetics designer had versus the gameplay designer (this is an inherit conflict: aesthetics wants control and a limited set of interactions, so that they can each be designed to fit the aesthetic best, while gameplay calls for an expansive/free set of interactions, so the player can explore the world and mechanics). Menus seem to be one of the first to go, as soon as aesthetics become important.

As an example, monster hunter world has substantially slower menus than its predecessors. Its also clearly very excited about its new graphics (as it has every right to be, this is the first in the series in over a decade to have a real hardware upgrade; it started from the ps1 to ps2, and from there it was all handhelds and one on the wii), with fancy cutscenes, scripted monster interactions, and big fancy finisher moves. In most fashions, the gameplay survived fine, but there are clear regressions, like the game does the map exploration for you, because of the difficulty of parsing the environment (a result of making it lush, thanks to having an actual graphics card), an annoyingly large and maze-y town using an auto-travel bandaid (because it looks better than the previous smaller towns).

The game is still good but notably along with all the regressions in favor of graphics was the menu transition speed. The graphics designer clearly had a bigger say in this game than in the previous titles.

Most workers in solar are needed to install new systems. Once a system is installed it will require only minimal scheduled maintenance for the next 25 years. After installation the system is wealth.

Further, building lots of small generation systems (e.g., rooftop solar) will inherently require more labor than building a few large generation systems (e.g., traditional power plants). One can argue that distributed power generation is a benefit, as it reduces the need for increased distribution capacity.
Of course we can, but I prefer taking out the easy tasks first. Changing the AC habits of billions of people is a bit more work, than turning off crypto nonsense.
I have one "problem" with airconditioning: it's a "cure" for cooling down a building after it heats up too much, but the more cost-effective, sustainable solution is prevention.

If we prioritize battling the urban heat island effect first, the remaining temperature problems can be tackled at a much lower energy cost with with airco.

You can also just buy a bond fund and "hold to maturity" exactly like a ladder does. That is, if you buy an intermediate bond fund, you need to hold for the 5-7 years in order to receive the stated return.

The only difference is a bond fund allows you see the true value of your holdings at any given time, where the ladder approach blissfully ignores the increasing/declining value due to interest rate movement and simply holds everything to maturity.
You can't buy them yet, which made the system barely usable for me. It comes with an empty frame that accommodates round lenses. I popped the lenses out of an old pair of glasses and ground them to the right size and shape with a belt sander, and it works OK. You can eyeball the size accurately enough to fit snugly in the rubber frame.
The problem with energy efficiency is that it paradoxically tends to increase consumption.

There’s a basic economic aspect we mustn’t forget - supply and demand. When energy prices drop, consumers often buy more if it.

I’m on mobile so I don’t have a link at hand, but I recall reading that people drove a lot less when gas prices were higher. When they went back down, people went back to driving more.

If you really want to lower energy consumption- just raise the price.
I don't know of many malls that still exist, but I often find that most large enclosed spaces set a temperature and leave it at that 24/7 365. It is often about 70-75.
This might even make sense as "a great (but evil) business strategy" except Let's Encrypt isn't a business, it's provided by a charity, ISRG, the Internet Security Research Group, set up for exactly this purpose by people from Mozilla (a charity) and the EFF (another charity)

I suspect that the people behind ISRG weren't as paranoid as the Free Software Foundation about being corrupted by some hypothetical evildoers (the FSF has a whole mechanism to try to ensure that if you somehow take over the Foundation you can't use its resources to counter its original purpose) but you're going to need a bit more than a vague idea that people are capable of evil as an explanation for why good things are actually not good.

I think the point about value / story / theme is the same in all mediums of art. I'm a traditional artist and I can tell you there are a million oil painters out there producing work that no one will pay money for or consider valuable.

Personally, I think there's a market for generative art out there but it'll be the 1% that you'll hear about and it will take the right blend of personality, aesthetics, theme, and timing to get right.

Graduating without debt has affected my outlook and early career much more than I realized it would have. I paid for school with a combination of sports and acting scholarships and some money my parents had been saving for school since I was a child.

Getting out without debt allowed me to move to a city right after school with some meager savings, take a few months figuring out what I wanted to do, and take a job that paid very little upfront but had a large potential payoff.

I can count on one hand the number of people I know my age without any student debt. It's insane. It's also limiting with dating. It's odd to think I may inherit (in some way shape or form) 25K-100K of student loan debt from a significant other.
Seattle may be over air-conditioned in offices, but when it comes to homes the story is quite different.

33.7% Seattle

> Filtering what you see and share with others isn't inherently wrong.

Totally agreed, but the mischaracterisation of networks supporting free speech as a place where "It's OK to be a Nazi" is. It's also not particularly original, with similar arguments being commonly used by most totalitarian regimes.

That said, the 'nazism is OK on those instances' may have been accidental (or perhaps just unthinkingly partisan) - I've sent a PR with a fix: https://github.com/tootcafe/blocked-instances/pull/22
