It doesn’t matter. Literally nobody can afford climate failure.

Once you’ve got a realistic threat of civilisational collapse on one side of the equation, things look different. Not everyone being able to afford a car, or having to eat veggie burgers... These aren’t real problems in comparison.

Quite apart from the fact that we shouldn’t all need cars in the first place. I live in Europe, with kids, and I’ve never felt the need to even get a license. Trains are far more convenient.

Cars being a luxury means public transport will need to improve everywhere. Which is great for everyone, and for the economy.
I agree with the results of the majority in the empirical study.

An object that has had all of it's components gradually replaced or changed is still 'the' object that was started with as far as identity goes.

If the parts which were replaced are restored and re-assembled the same way as the original is, that too is 'the' object.

Yes, both or even maybe infinite clones/duplicates might exist at the same time. None of these are the initial object; that is lost to a moment in time.

I would conceptually draw the line at a new 'finished' object needing greater than 50% of it's conceptual measure to be comprised of an iteration of the named object to qualify as being of that object at any given time.

Once it classifies as that object by transitive properties the rest, even the new pieces, become of that object to at least some degree.

As a slightly different twist on the subject, IIRC all Hass avocados are from splicing a single tree on to others. Given the semantics I would say that while none of these is still the initial tree, "the" tree would still be the one who's roots are still original. This is both by having a unique part which was never lost from the initial instance and by being the chronologically oldest/initial instance and having an unbroken history of existence.

Instead of wasting your time trying to get this to work (and maintaining it when it inevitably breaks after a macOS update), how about just buying a Mac and using the time for billable work (which would pay for the Mac and still leave a hefty extra)?
The ideal solution would be to tip adequately so that one doesn't have to be embarassed during payment.
Because this an illegal practice in many jurisdictions.
I've only lived at 50-55° N, and 99% of my clothes are black. They seem to last much longer without fading if I don't use a dryer. On cheaper t-shirts, the dryer gradually ruins the elastic around the neck.

I use the dryer for clothes that don't matter, and line dry the nicer ones.
In Spanish, "ladino" is an adjective, and its main meaning is "shrewd" or "sly". It's what you would call Aladdin's Jafar( http://disney.wikia.com/wiki/Jafar ). I hope it's just a coincidence, but I would not be surprised to find some racism in the etymology of the word. My language has several of those.
I think the distinction between the right to repair and the ability to repair is important. I think you're addressing the latter and stretchwithme is addressing the former. As the article suggests, the lack of recognition for the right to repair is one of the phenomena inhibiting repair. Where the right isn't enforced, it's possible for manufacturers to make things repairable, while also imposing a monopoly on repair, thereby inflating repair costs and inhibiting (legal) repair.

As a population car users represent a massive amount of emmisions. Removing that would be one of the highest offenders.
I've lived in England for nearly 40 years, in various different cities. Probably lived in a dozen or more houses during that time. Not one of them had a drier. I don't recall seeing one in any of my friends houses either. Always see clothes on washing lines all over the place.

So I think you might be stretching it a bit to say that they're ubiquitous here.
Sorry for the late reply, I was away from civilization.

I think that depends on how your hiring process looks like in general. You might, for example do a benevolent (from a certain POV) discrimination and simply start filtering applicants with something like a naive 20-line Python script that matches applicant names against female names from a dictionary and pushes them to the top of your applicant stack, so to speak.

And there are less tangible or directly measurable, but nonetheless important benefits to hiring women for a business: You can get free publicity and marketing if you run a successful women-only shop, there is a significant demand in the liberal media for female success stories and you can ride that wave.

> It appears that buyers prioritize lower upfront cost rather than better warranties, a trade-off that ought to be theirs to make.

Not just an individual choice but a social choice too, therefore the State has a role to play.

In trading lower upfront cost for shorter life, consumers produce externalities such as pollution and raw materials depletion. The State must reinternalize those externalities and the mechanism to do that is either regulatory (mandatory 10 year warranty) or fiscal (recycling tax).

Ok, but my questions haven't been answered: how do we pay for websites?

There's the ad model, which people don't like, the subscription model, which almost no one uses (it's used successfully for webapps, but not by websites, there's maybe 10 or 20 successful subscription based sites in the billions of sites out there).

What else is there that doesn't involve somehow turning the browser into a product?
One of these super confusing topics. At the same time as this is discussed as some kind of heroism in Germany at least there is a discussion about cum-ex trading as the robbery of the century. In some regards both are using the complexity of the law to make a profit that they wouldn't have made without nitpicking the law. But only one is considered a crime. Why? How?
No-one I knew in the Midlands or south of England used a dryer. I lived in 10 houses in London, and never had a dryer.

(I can't comment on the north, Scotland etc; I haven't been in enough private houses there.)

There's usually a breeze, and unless it's actually raining the clothes dry soon enough outside.
> Also the majority of trips are short enough to be done via bike or ebike if you give people safe routes to do so, something the UK has been completely unwilling to do.

Just because a trip is short enough doesn't necessarily mean it's actually practical to make via (e)bike. People often need to take more than a backpack's- or pannier's-worth of stuff with them.

I love my bike, and use it when appropriate, but it doesn't come close to replacing a car.

I would question where you learned the "theory" behind modern c++ ownership semantics without ever encountering std::unique_ptr, given that it is the reason move semantics were added to the language. As far as I can tell you would have a hard time even finding a source on post c++11 ownership semantics that doesn't mention std::unique_ptr at all. So not knowing about std::unique_ptr seems like a good indication that your sources were c++98 based, making your "theory" a decade out of date.
Its interesting that the people cited aren't here commenting...

It occurs to me that a lot of these arguments revolve around the author's preferred definition of consciousness, which is essentially arbitrary. There's no physical phenomenon that is consciousness - it's a term that we came up with for the subjective feeling that we experience as we function. You don't really know if someone is conscious or not unless you ask, and you don't really know if the answer is true or not anyway (because they might be conscious but unable to communicate, or because it might be an unconscious automaton that's programmed to answer that it is conscious) - so there's no way to define it experimentally.

I can't help but think that "consciousness" is really just a modern atheistic version of the "soul" concept, nothing more. Basically, we just gave up on immortality, and accepted that there are some physical processes underneath that cause it to start and stop - but we're still clinging to that self-perception of ourselves as a singular entity that drives self, as something that meaningfully exists in the physical world. But it is recursive - we think that we're conscious as a function of conscious, basically. You can't really distinguish consciousness from unconsciousness per se, because when you're unconscious, you do not observe or reason. In others, you can only observe the lack of prerequisites of consciousness (e.g. brain activity), or the lack of its side effects (communication etc), but you can't observe unconsciousness as such.

From that perspective, the idea of consciousness has no more place in science (or criticism of science) than soul does.
> In a lot of cases it's simply more cost-effective to replace than to rebuild.

I think a lot of this is because we can choose to not factor in a lot of additional costs that will show up in other forms. E.g., unsustainable disposal leadss to environmental problems and hazardous living conditions, while the cheap chinese labour only works with far weaker labor protections than we have here.

1 - knowing this is 100% useless information, in reality I have a compiler to tell me that.

2 - Seriously? new/delete in 2018? In very rare cases when I need a raw pointer I call unique_ptr::release().

5 The question is so-so but the answer's wrong. Iterators don't need to point anywhere. You can make an iterator generating values instead of referencing container. Not necessarily a good idea but still.

6 Same. Just because it's not specified in C++ standard doesn't mean it's bad, or should be avoided. E.g.

const uint32_t n = 11;
printf( "Eleven: %d\n", n );

is UB but the code is 100% fine to my standards. Stuff like OpenMP or intrinsics is not specified either, does it mean we should avoid them?

8-9 IMO template metaprogramming should be avoided. If you want your template data structure to behave differently for pointers and non-pointers, expose another template argument for that, there's too many corner cases like handles (technically pointers, logically values) and smart pointers (the opposite).

Personally I ended up just buying a Mac Mini and upgrading it's RAM. It's unfortunate, but I was under a deadline and didn't want to risk having a technically-illegal version of MacOS prevent me from building/publishing client apps suddenly.

In the future, I'm going to just take writing iOS apps off the list of services I offer.
Mobile terminal doesn't prevent you from doing that. :-) That's what I do if I want to skip on the "no, lemme pay" banter. What I find curious though is that there are places in Germany where one can pay using plastic. ;-) It's always a complete PITA that most places I visit in Germany take cash exclusively.
Why not? I mean we don't use micro-services for what it is supposed to do. The application would perfectly be a monolith. We do it, just because it lets us experiment newer technologies in not-so-important services in a smaller scale without undergoing major re-work since when the change is big, everyone in management layer understandably becomes conservative.
We dry them on the other side. Also, we avoid leaving them in the sun more than an hour or so. The dryer stays outside during the night and is moved inside in the morning during work days or left for about an hour in the sun otherwise then moved inside.
> Require durable goods like fridges to be warrantied for 10 years at no cost to the owner.

Already a requirement in Australia, thanks to our Consumer Rights laws.

Unfortunately, its had no appreciable effect on being cheaper to replace than repair on most consumer items. The manufacturer just becomes the one doing the replacing.
What I love about microservices is isolation and forcing you to do thing well from the beginning. Monoliths tend to become horrible to maintain after few years. On the opposite change one small 50 lines microservice is a lot less risky!
“It’s important to note that the next-gen experience will not replace our classic experience, which millions of users are happily using,”

The standards would also put pressure on the consumer. It worked in the EU with Vacuum cleaners. People preferred to buy the vacuums with more wattage because they tought they would be stronger. But that just punished manufacturers that developped energy efficient motors. So some regulation was appropriate.
> If I perform a quantum coin-flip with 2/3 possibility of heads, then it creates two worlds - but I end up in one of them twice as often - why?

This question is impossible to answer until you unambiguously define "I" and "end up" first.

My answer is that there's no singular you. There's one you for each of the worlds, just as there's one coin for each of the worlds. The only difference is that the coin doesn't wonder about its "other selves", because it doesn't have the concept of self. Humans do have one, but we have no reason to believe that it is correct or meaningful in this context.
a catchy headline :D
Privacy issue with TLS session resumption
Unfortunately the UK does not have half a mind to spare, and won't for a few years at least. One of the less noticable side-effects of Brexit is that it totally dominates the entire political landscape, to the exclusion of other issues.

In a news magazine I read[1], they had an infographic where they measured the average number of comments below articles on a number of unrelated topics it took for Brexit to be mentioned. The figures were mostly below 10 (and look at me, bringing up Brexit in this unrelated issue!)

French also uses “manquer”, and there are traces in spanish (such as a manco being a person that lacks an arm).
It always amazes me why historians and researchers start with the assumption that any tale from the past is fanciful until proven otherwise. We have little to no proof that our very distant ancestors sat around making up stories for the fun of it and then passing them on to future generations, when they'd surely be more likely to pass on useful information that keeps the tribe alive. Yes there will be embelishments, but we seem to treat everything from before the last couple if hundred years as total lies.
But it's more nowadays. I notice it even on myself. On the internet I can watch whatever I like, and stick to that for hours. On the TV theres maybe only 2-3 interesting shows to watch, so I would eventually turn it off.
Hadn't noticed this redesign, looks like they've done a really good job.

I wonder if it's just been inspired by GOV.UK or if the same group of people (or just some of them) have been involved. Either way seems like they've made a real improvement.
> 1 - knowing this is 100% useless information, in reality I have a compiler to tell me that.

A clever compiler might tell you that adding std::move will make the code compile. But if you do not understand what std::move does it will lead to more bugs as you might not expect the ptr to suddenly be empty in main.
No, altering incentives is not the point of government, at least by a reading of the US constitution, history, or probably polling. Admittedly it is a method desired currently in the Democratic party.
What I love about monolith is coherence and forcing you to do things well from the beginning. Microservice mesh tend to become horrible to maintain after a few years when no one really measure which components will be impacted by a single change. On the opposite, change one small 50 line function and your IDE will happily show you all the calls to that specific function.

Except that prior to 1492, there was no language known as "ladino." It was simply Spanish, and the Jews who were exiled continued to preserve the language. Does the community auto-identify with the term "ladino"? Or was this term imposed after the exile?
25T/D Tissue Paper Machine Production Line
This isn't a Cloudflare-specific feature. It's an IETF draft standard: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-rescorla-tls-esni-00 Just as we've done with other standards in progress (QUIC, TLS 1.3) we've implemented on our network. That helps get the standard tested and adopted quickly. Literally, anyone can implement that standard, there's nothing "Cloudflare" about it.
Googled around a bit for How to disable (limit) TLS session resumption, but that did not get me further then that this is actually done in the TOR Browser (also mentioned in the article).

Not how to in Chrome or anyother common browser. Anyone with better Google Fu that has a pointer?
I think even the ability of a (even non-digital) computer to output the square root of two isn't easily asserted. Quantum theory doesn't play nice with infinite precision.

- You can't output a voltage of sqrt(2) because you output a finite amount of electrons in each timeframe, so your resolution is limited.

- We don't know if you can output a signal of length of sqrt(2) because we aren't sure yet whether time is infinitely divisible [1]

- You might be able to position gears or other physical objects with infinite precision, but reading the value with a higher precision than one plank length seems impossible [2]

Unfortunately, you are absolutely right. The tech industry is in love with complexity
I don't understand, are you talking about code hosting or simply just considering web services?

Regardless, hosting is a separate issue. You have open source projects who provide a piece of software that you're free to host yourself or pay somebody else to host for you. See for instance the Roundcube webmail.

It's similar to how I need to buy a computer to be able to run Emacs, that doesn't mean that Emacs itself is a product. Of course many web services are actual products and you pay for both the development and the hosting.

Here we're talking about a web browser though so the point is moot anyway.

Not really. Use whatever DoH provider you like. Nothing here says "You can only use Cloudflare".
I've definitely spent more time sitting in traffic (as a very infrequent driver) than I have waiting on public transport in my life. Try driving across london vs getting the tube.

I grew out of microservices because it felt like I was doing the same boilerplate REST service over and over.

So I made a modular REST API service that could load plugins. The plugins can contain anything from simple endpoints to database schemas with sqlalchemy. All this is loaded into the main app at runtime.

So the main app can handle authentication against LDAP for example while all the various deployed microservices can have their own roles.
I agree with what you're saying but they aren't asking what it does.

They're asking "What happens when?" giving code that doesn't compile.

Nothing happens.
Though keep in mind that in microservice world suddenly you have dozen of problems you would never face in monolith world. You are forced to implement a good orchestration, deployment, segregate data between services and other stuff. It's all fun, but takes time to dive into that and build the right process. For sure it is nice and sound once it's built, but you might simply lose track of your primary product if you're solo project dev :)

So the consensus is to do things well from the start. IMHO both have their merits but strongly depend on the usecase. There is no one size fits all. A lot of thought has to go into both options to make them really effective. Otherwise it's just garbage in garbage out.
