Yep, and then the better answer will sit at the bottom of the page, while the older one continues to be seen and gathers more upvotes.

I think there is a critical mass after which the site's focus changes from creation to protectionism, and then it becomes stagnant.
A set of forests that stays the same size, i.e. some trees fall down and rot or get cut down and burned while new trees sprout or get planted, so that the total amount of biomass in these forests is more or less stable long-term is not a carbon removal technology but simply a carbon store. To remove carbon, the amount of biomass needs to increase... so we essentially need to cut down trees and somehow store their carbon instead of releasing it back into air through decay or burning.
No it isn't. There deffo is some sort of component to it.

I have never met my Grandfather and Uncle that were thieves and another was a sex offender.

I do however like mischief and I love the feeling of thieving stuff. I used to work in Gambling and absolutely loved the idea of taking money from other people. I also have a lot of affiliate sites and I feel like I am stealing that money.

However to say it is 100% one or the other is also garbage. It is another nature vs nurture argument.

Also "Hate Speech" is another way of saying I don't have an argument. It is just a way of saying "You are bad because I don't like what you are saying". This term is destroying my country (people in the UK have been imprisoned because they have posted rap lyrics on facebook).

Anecdotally, smartwatches are quite unobtrusive and pretty quickly reach 'just there' if you wear one the time.

Mine is much closer to a keyring that you pull out as needed than a smartphone that comes out all the time, certainly closer than I'd expected. Of course, the other part may be that as with a normal watch, you tend to glance for a second and be done with it for a while.

Hmmm, I'm not sure I understand. You can't really mark `static static_map<>::Value& get()` constexpr because it returns a value which is only known at run-time - again the value is a run-time value, only the lookup (where in memory) is at compile-time. This has nothing to do with inlining.

"for this discovery of yours will create forgetfulness in the learners' souls, because they will not use their memories; they will trust to the external written characters and not remember of themselves.

There are a couple of ideas driving it, but the main one is to use AI (deep learning sequence to sequence models especially) to filter and recommend content to help busy people stay focused on their work.

If the problem of polarization is ever to be addressed, we have to figure out how to talk to people who don’t just disagree about the best way to solve problems, but disagree about what the problems are to begin with.

Available research suggests that exposing people to differing points of view (absent agreement about shared goals etc) tends to cause them to become more polarized, not less. It's all very well asking 'how do we talk to people' but the reality is that a large chunk of the population no longer subscribes to consensus reality and actively resists or interferes with the distribution of information and resources. There is a lot of money to be made in misleading people and the 'marketplace of ideas' is failing along multiple vectors, perhaps because of an over-reliance on finance as the measure of all things.

But we're also filling ourselves up with giant cups of coffee every day. And then to release the stress we get drunk. The next day we feel even worse and we drink more coffee. Meanwhile, we're more isolated than ever and thus have less of an outlet for the stuff we're worried about.

19 year old Spanish guy. Hear me clearly: YOU HAVE SO MUCH TIME!

One of the big down sides to being a millennial (maybe you're Generation Z?) is that we've grown up in an era that makes us believe that if we aren't Zuckerbot by the time we're 22 then we've failed and are slacking.

Simply not true.

Plenty of other commenters will give you advice related to other things, but let me just say again, for emphasis: MAN, YOU HAVE SO MUCH TIME TO DO EVERYTHING AND ACHIEVE EVERYTHING. In no way have you "f@ck3d your life permanently". You have so much time. Make the most, out of the rest of it :)

The fact that I thought this was a real site until the third or fourth click really shows how bad it really is.
Wow. TIL. Thanks for this comment even though people are downvoting you into oblivion.

Although the concept has existed for centuries, the term "meritocracy" is relatively new. It was used pejoratively by British politician and sociologist Michael Young in his 1958 satirical essay[2][12][13][14][15] The Rise of the Meritocracy, which pictured the United Kingdom under the rule of a government favouring intelligence and aptitude (merit) above all else, ... In this book the term had distinctly negative connotations as Young questioned both the legitimacy of the selection process used to become a member of this elite and the outcomes of being ruled by such a narrowly defined group. The essay, written in the first person by a fictional historical narrator in 2034, interweaves history from the politics of pre- and post-war Britain with those of fictional future events in the short (1960 onward) and long term (2020 onward).[17]

...because most families have a biological connection?

I don't believe it's poorly written, but the truth is closer to your third question.

Race is a very touchy subject, especially when it comes to crime, and making it known that you're looking into something that could lead to biological/genetic assertions about criminality is a good way to draw unpleasant attention.

Curious how this would work translating between a language like German where verbs sometimes are placed at the very end. Or even if clauses make things complicated. You wouldn't know the meaning for a long time -- or would you guess and amend?

To make this concrete (DE <-> ZH) with EN provided for clarity, apologies for errors:

[EN]
I didn't go out last evening, because my mother had warned me about feral cats on the street.

[FROM ZH]
昨晚我不去出因为我妈妈警告我街上有野猫。

[TO DE]
Gestern Abend bin ich nicht rausgegangen, weil meine Mutter mich vor Wildkatzen auf der Straße gewarnt hatte.

In that German sentence, the key verb in the second clause "to warn [warnen]" happens nearly at the end, but in the beginning in Chinese [警告].

So if I'm halfway through the second clause of my Chinese sentence, ...因为我妈妈警告我, the simultaneous translation in German is "weil meine Mutter [.....]" and then all at once "mich vor Wildkatzen auf der Straße gewarnt hatte" when the Chinese sentence finally ends.

I suppose you could split the clause again to give some "early" meaning in the sentence in real-time: "weil meine Mutter mich davor gewarnt hatte, dass [...]" and then the bit about the wild cats when it shows up in the Chinese sentence, but I'm sure you can construct more pathological examples so my question still stands.

> What is the excuse for the average company to not enforce a policy?

Oh, but most companies do enforce such a policy. Often, however, these policies do more harm than good such when they require passwords of a specific length and composition or demand you change those every 30 days.

Rules like that lead precisely to passwords that are easy to guess but hard to remember. I suppose nobody can even tell anymore who originally came up with these rules but they're widespread and ingrained in many companies' cultures.

Getting rid of this security cargo cult and replacing it with better practices (such as using password managers and allowing for easily pronounceable, diceware-like passwords) is surprisingly hard.
So this might be a dumb question, but if I landfill paper instead of recycling it, does it degrade? If not, is that a poor man's form of carbon sequestration? A cursory glance suggests this is correct [1], though you'd need to know a lot more to say that it was more carbon efficient than recycling.

I happen to agree with all of these, on some level they're even obvious, to the extent that 99%+ of all environmental economists would support it.

However, it's naive to think anything close to resembling this could happen politically IMO. That's why we aren't at all close to doing it, even though it's "obvious".
Remove it or not based on your company's rules and values.

I don't know how to make this any more explicit. Hate speech having a clear and defined concept (which both you and that other commenter can research on your own) gives us a way to define whether or not the comment and context is harmful or not. I'm not going to hold your hand here, you need to read about it.

Maybe I'm the exception then - I'm probably the first person in my family to get in trouble (felon, did 5 years). What you say about taking risks is so true. Once you've taken big risks, the thought of these relatively small risks is a joke.

Yeah, making an Uber-or-Lyft-like service is easy. Lots of people have done it. Uber and Lyft price-competed those services into irrelevance, but if another service has self-driving cars and Uber-or-Lyft don't, then they won't be able to price-compete effectively.

I think it's likely that if Uber-or-Lyft don't get a sustainable technological advantage with driverless cars, they will actually stick around and make a deal with the company that provides the driverless cars, but they will have a weak negotiating position and will have to accept a small percentage of the profit which will not justify their current valuations (especially Uber, which has a much higher valuation than Lyft).

My family is very large. Most aren't criminals even though we have had two very horrendous individuals.

I am sorry I just don't believe it. Even more of my iffy friends and family stopped doing things like cash in hand work and benefit fraud once they were rich enough not to bother.

It is a simply a function of circumstances and upbringing and nothing more. There might be a genetic component but I suggest that component is being more of an opportunist than actual thievery.

It may, but the last one lost by a pretty decisive margin. I have received a half dozen large glossy mailers funded by oil companies urging me to vote no on 1631, and have seen zero mail advertising for "yes."

My father is a felon, and his father before him, and most of my uncles (one is even a convicted murderer). I didn't follow in their footsteps -- never even gotten so much as a speeding ticket.

The funny thing is I can completely relate. I had to cut off my father's family from my life to escape; all police make me nervous as I think they will arrest me; every interaction I have with non-best-of-friends is "fuck you, I'm getting mine".

I'm not sure how many generations it takes to escape the mentality, but I'm hoping my sons aren't the same way.

As someone who works monitoring ad network traffic at a large ad-tech company (not FAANG, but just below), let me just say: everyone does fraud.

Some don't need as much of it (e.g., Google), but quite literally saying "there's fraud in my online traffic" is like saying "there's tomato sauce in my spaghetti". It's quite literally such a normal thing that I've become immune to even getting roused by it (and remember, again, I work to find ad-fraud daily).

Does this make it right? No, absolutely not. But is this ever going to change, absolutely not. Too many people are making too much money from this. Just you try to tell an L2 that they can't hit their Q4 Revenue OKR because "we're doing something really immoral by allowing fraud".

Don't make me laugh XD
