Those are all options and choices for a small fraction of humans at what is effectively the top of the pyramid.

In each case, those are choices made out of ZERO economic pressure. You can do that TODAY, without the need of us discussing carbon capture costs.

However, most people DOMT exercise that choice, either through necessity or preference.

For all of those people, an increase in oil prices mean that they have to choose between working and living in an affordable place. It means more Money out of the monthly budget which is not available for other things.

This is economically defined as a reduction in their quality of life.

Do consider that, For most of humanity, food, water, medicine, clothes are decisions separated by razor sharp margins. Owning a car is a distant dream.

Simply - If the cost of everything went up, and you thus has less disposable income to use, then your quality of life by definition has dropped.

Not quite true - you have to opt-in to quorum reads in etcd. Otherwise it just returns the first read (which used to be the default in k8s and caused a lot of grief).

Read the CoC more carefully. Adherence is not mandatory.
The problem with carbon taxes are the incentives to cheat. The US is probably being the 'most honest' by simply saying we won't implement them. In China and India they would simply misreport their emissions and not pay the tax. And of course, you can't hit the carbon targets w/out getting India & China on board.

In the absence of a world governing body with teeth (e.g. space aliens with a death ray), you can't enforce a carbon tax.
I agree what the article says.

For example, if you compare the nutrition of almond and peanut, they are pretty close:

Peanut: https://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/legumes-and-legume-prod...
Almond: https://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/nut-and-seed-products/3...

They both have the same amount of total fat (49g). Other nutrients are mostly comparable too.

However, almond is often perceived as healthy food, while peanut is often perceived as not too healthy (peanut does have a little more saturated fat than almond--3.2g more per 100gram).

I think people should eat more seasonal, local, and fresh fruit and vegetables than whatever marketed as healthy food/drink that is actually heavily processed.
Why would you even entertain that thought? When has anything even remotely the size of healthcare been 100% deregulated and successful?

Why go for such far out nonsense like this when there are perfectly good examples of successful healthcare models in other countries.

It's funny how often I have occasion to say this on HN: I'm a 57 year-old working software engineer. I've never been out of work for a significant time since I started doing this professionally in the late 80's. If you want to keep working as an engineer there is plenty of demand. You simply have to stay interested enough to know the things people are looking for. If you have an active and recent resume of relevant work, you think someone is going to turn you down because of some gray hair? I'm sure it happens but I believe it is the exception, not the rule.

There are lots of ways to flame out in your 50's. Remaining engaged and actively interested in pursuing your trade is not one of them.

As a former spook with absolutely no knowledge about this incident, the whole thing sounds like:

* The Chinese supply chain interdiction / implant installation is real

* Those companies ARE aware of such events

* Those companies DID report it to USGOV

* The investigation is classified and Bloomberg didn't know or doesn't care

* The government is doing its traditional "Deny, disavow, do not acknowledge" etc.

* The companies were probably threatened with legal action / gag order preventing them from acknowledging the event

When I started working for DOD, one of the things in training was that you were always to say "I can neither confirm nor deny X". Eventually they realized that this statement itself is revealing, and suggested you just STFU.

The whole thing sounds incredibly plausible, and nooooooooobody was supposed to know about it.
I agree in general but I think "A car traveling 30 mph is absolutely as lethal as a car traveling 10 mph faster than that." is a bit weak.

The speed of cars matter, obviously. If you are hit by a car driving 50km/h you will die 8 out of 10 times. If the car is only driving in 30 km/h you will only die 1 out of the 10 times. In other words, it's not a linear scale and the idea that you can drive a bit faster without making yourself substantially more dangerous is incorrect.

But it's an interview with a specific person, focused entirely on her work. The entire content of the article is tied to who she is and what she does. Removing her name from the headline just obliterates the value of the headline as a way to determine what you're going to see when you land on the other side of the link.

This is a misguided policy and I hope you reconsider it.

Agreed. But as soon as you hit any dynamic behavior, you kind of end up wishing you could "drop" into React.

That's why I built the following project: https://github.com/silviogutierrez/reactivated

It's very early on, but essentially, completely replaces the template rendering with React components. Still regular markup, but whenever you need dynamic behaviors, it's trivial. And it's all server side rendered.

So basically, looking at https://github.com/silviogutierrez/reactivated/blob/master/c...

You can see the traditional Django context becomes "Props" in the top level component. Then it's React all the way down.

Notes:

1. The most complicated part is the initial setup. You do need to run NodeJS, webpack + Django server. Working on improving that.

2. I like TypeScript and use it here. But theoretically it'll be optional. The Django+Python part is also statically typed using MyPy.

3. No instructions whatsoever yet. But you can see a live site using this stack here: https://www.silviogutierrez.com/ . Notice it's server rendered but has dynamic behaviors that are trivial in React but harder with jQuery + Django. Example: https://www.silviogutierrez.com/blog/making-cck-fields-read-... Look at the nested commenting and moving the form around. Very easy in React.

4. Because of the architecture, adding a much-better-turbolinks style Ajax is trivial. Click around the site above (loading indicator not yet added). The page is re-rendered entirely on the client but gets a server AJAX response.

Hope that's interesting info. If you'd like to try it out, definitely let me know. Once you overcome the setup hurdles, it's amazingly productive. As in, if all you wish to do is `{{ form }}` like old school Django, here's the equivalent sample template: https://github.com/silviogutierrez/reactivated/blob/master/c...
Wow, this is really skewed towards the 1%, even if you meant it the other way.

You do know that the global middle class yearly income is 1-3k a year, right? That's probably less than a typical American food budget.

It's fine if you want the US to stop growing. But the rest of the world would desperately like to grow more. And that's 90% of the world's population.

It's also naive to think it's easier to redistribute wealth globally than it is to create technology. Redistribution only comes through bloodshed. At least with technology you can build it through hard work, effort, and ingenuity.

You're right, the issue is more nuanced than I had assumed.

Federal law (not the Constitution) prohibits non-citizens from voting in national elections [0]. However, it seems like states can establish their own rules for state and local suffrage, and non-citizens can vote under certain circumstances in states like Maryland [1].

Personally, I like the citizenship requirement for voting. It requires voters who weren't born in the U.S. to demonstrate a certain level of investment in the system they're seeking to change.

Vietnam is a special kind of stupid (maybe not the right word, but best I can do). The whole country is filled with partially finished and failed projects (not just the roads), right next to brand new construction. I actually consider all of this part of the charm of living here. Makes for excellent urban exploration!

Becamex IDC is a company founded in 1976 to build a whole city north of Saigon in Binh Duong. There is nice wide and well-paved roads, sidewalks, schools, multiple golf courses, churches, car dealerships, hospitals, power plants... it is literally sim city in real life. The only twist is that it is still nearly empty. The only people out there are factory workers. The factories even import managers from Korea and Japan, who spend their days playing at the golf courses. The locals either live in factory housing or in really inexpensive places. There is whole communities of housing built up where only a few people live. It is kind of amazing really... the whole country is full of half finished places like this.

My guess is that when the sea levels rise and Saigon is under water, Binh Duong will be hot property... in 100 years.

The disk server could conceivably fail because a disk took an absurdly long time to respond to a command --- by all means, update the firmware, but in the mean time, restarting the disk server (and replaying any pending writes, somehow) will get you back on track. At least restarting the disk server in read only mode allows reads to continue to function -- maybe even allows for an orderly evacuation of the data.
Nothing good will come of this.
> I don't even really know how to hire a lawyer or accountant, or how to assess whether the person I pick is minimally competent to give me good advice

Reputation is one proxy you can use for trying to gauge competency - ask friends, family, or coworkers if they have someone they're happy with.

Ultimately, there's a few big things they need to do, and you can try to evaluate those things instead or as well:

1) Clearly explain things you need to know. This might be making you aware of paperwork you need to file, tradeoffs between choices, rationale behind why they're suggesting you do something, or what the tradeoff is so you can make your own decisions.

Some (many? most?) lawyers are willing to do a free initial consultation, so you can get a feel for this in person, if you don't have a recommendation or don't want to trust only reputation. Basically: Can they communicate effectively?

2) Keep you out of trouble. There's a limit to what a lawyer or accountant can do of course, but a pattern of surprise financial difficulties, or getting into frequent contract disputes or lawsuits are a bad sign. The IRS frequently correcting an accountant's filings would be another.

3) Stay on top of things. Is the accountant filing taxes late resulting in IRS fines? Paperwork not ready when they said it'd be? Asking for the same information several times because they keep misfiling it? Going incommunicado for months when you have questions?

It seems simpler in practice: It came up in conversation that my friend had gotten his will done. I mentioned I needed to get my will done. He liked his lawyer, and was able to explain some about what he liked about her approach and give me her name. So I scheduled a consult with her on her website after trading some initial questions over email, showed up as scheduled, and then traded more questions at her office. I didn't know all the right questions to ask - mine were mostly of the form "uhh, so what do I do?" - but she was able to volunteer explanations about state inheritance law that put her questions for me into context. And then she had recommendations for things to do and why, as well as things she'd recommend not bothering with and why (and the contexts under which that could potentially change in the future), without being pushy.

Based on my answers, she drafted a will for me, and I was able to come back and sign it a month later when I scheduled it. I think I paid half after the initial signing but before she drafted the will, and the other half after the signing? Now I can recommend her to my friends, or ask her if she has any recommendations for an accountant, or even other lawyers for specialized needs.

Could I have done more to vet her? Sure. But I did enough for my tastes. Can't let the perfect be the enemy of the good enough and all that.

>most forest owners in the world don't know or don't have incentive to care

So why limit yourself to existing forests?

Instead of flooding deserts (using energy-intensive/land-intensive/wealth concentrating desalinization), we can re-green those same deserts[1], which restarts the "atmospheric river" that brings water to the interiors of continents. Isotopic analysis has revealed that trees powers the water cycle (by recycling rainfall that would otherwise flow off into the ocean) and causes 80% of Earth's terrestrial rainfall.[2] Compared to desalination this is far less costly (downside being, it's harder for Nestle et al. to profit off it).

Yes Virginia, rain literally comes from trees! This partly explains why deforestation leads to desertification.

Ultrasound is a quick and relatively simple procedure. They could get a few in the ER and a few technicians on staff. Then doctors are encouraged to say bloodwork is off let's do an ultrasound and there you have it - $4k / 25 minutes. Bill the insurance and keep raking in the money.

I've lost track of the literature since the early 1990's, but from what I recall of the early IRONEX experiments the problem was that net sequestration was disappointing: despite significant increases in fixation, much of this new carbon is remineralized by heterotrophs prior to burial.

Hi Berti,

We are building a tool that can extract register map from a data sheet. You may take a look at the beta version of the tool at http://exportrm.soliton.ai/. The tool supports register map table formats similar to ones found on page 14 in https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/data-sheet/PCA9685.pdf datasheet. The table format that you have mentioned in the example is not supported at this time. We would be adding it soon.
If you have any questions or would like to share any feedback, feel free to reach out to us at the email id provided on tool web page.

Why does the article keep comparing warehouse workers at Amazon with salespeople at Sears? Those don't seem like comparable positions (sales comp is often very performance based) and thus, compensation wouldn't be the same.

Maybe compare the salespeople at Sears with account managers or some similar position at Amazon?

Title is misleading: "A lot of the choices here end up being considerations on one song as opposed to whole albums, and so I prefer to see it as less of a definitive favourite albums list, and more of a piece where the records are selected to discuss other ideas."
Maybe, but I can say without reservation that the times I find my personal technologies the most frustrating are when they're "trying to help me". 99% of the time, this is the WRONG thing to do - for instance if my phone "helpfully" resizes my text, then there's a very good chance that I can no longer see everything I was trying to see on the tiny screen in the first place, as it will have reflowed off-screen!

Those crime bosses eventually want to buy a new mansion, Porche, a yacht, jewellery/stuff for their wife/gf, you know, anything to actually enjoy their life in real world. They eventually need to exchange their ill-gotten gains for real money. They can't stay in BTC forever. Basically they want to turn the BTC they got from their criminal activities to a clean cash not linked to crime. There are various way they might go about it, basically similar techniques as money launderers use.
Its not specific to those examples though. Think of it like a thought experiment: a university literally can't host everyone so there's some criteria by which a guest needs to be judged.
