> wrong side of common sense

I fear such a complex issue such as energy production for billions of people is not really something which can be rated by 'common sense'.

> nuclear generation for 64 years now

and still no path for insurance/storage/reprocessing etc. Sellafield is one of the prime examples what can go wrong even in industrialized countries: it's a toxic and costly mix of military and commercial nuclear industry waste.

In the Western countries nuclear is mostly dead and investments are allocated only mostly for longer lifetimes of existing reactors. And this is not because of 'Greenpeace'. You need to find an answer why there is so little acceptance, why the industry is in such bad shape (examples: lack of reactor safety culture in the Japanese nuclear industry, lack of financial health in the French nuclear industry, Sellafield, ...) and why its only thriving with full-government support/finance (see China with its authoritarian structure or smaller countries who are keen to get nuclear technology to then also build up nuclear weapon technology/material like Iran).
License and copyright are different things. You hold the copyright to your own work and offer it to others to use under the license of your choosing. If they contribute, then their contributions come back to you under license as well (typically the same one). This is why relicensing is such a pain in the ass— you have to get basically everyone who's ever contributed to agree to it.

The escape hatch is if contributors are asked to assign their copyright, which then centralizes decision making with the entity holding the copyright. Which works if you trust that entity (eg, the FSF), but it most definitely has the possibility to go wrong if the copyright holder makes license changes down the road which you disagree with.

I find it amusing just how many people make this assumption up-front. Probably because its one of those "problems" that seems simple on the surface, until you start digging deeper. This gets especially true once you take into account offline delivery, presence management, delivered/read receipts, group/broadcast use cases, efficient use of the network, complexities of reliable/efficient cross-platform media transfer across a variety of formats, and... robust end-to-end encryption.

You don't need a lawn to stand outdoors if you live in a mild climate zone. You don't even need a lawn to have an open, walkable front-yard. If you regularly walk on a grassy area, it adapts. You might need to use a scythe on out-of-control patches once in a while (much more rarely than a lawnmower), but that's about it.

It's interesting you would label this as such.

In what is ostensibly the best country in the world, and a massive proponent of free speech and human rights, you think it's bold to write a letter on the internet to your extraordinarily famous employer?

If it's considered bold in the USA involving Google, I shudder to think about anyone else doing this anywhere else.

In the year 2018 I would hope it's very much not bold to do so.

The first example that comes to mind is Angus Young, who has said that he considers his wireless rig to be part of his "sound". If any rock musician qualifies as "old", well, Angus ain't running around on stage like he used to. Anyway, that's just one example. Pros use wireless rigs all the time. They're not BT, though.
> HIPAA is not for individuals

It is. I don't even understand how it couldn't be unless you are trying to state that doctors themselves are somehow not individuals.
That's an interesting point and one I haven't considered or seen any significant research on.

My gut take is that insects will be fine and would likely return to previous densities given a reduction in pesticide use and restoration of habitat. They reproduce frequently and in large numbers, accelerating natural evolutionary processes. There is no chemical control agent that insects haven't demonstrated resistance and adaptation to, given enough exposure time. History has also shown us that arthropods are the most successful animals of all time, emerging mostly unscathed through major climate shifts and extinction events that have decimated other animals. Insects have been flying on earth for over 400 million years (some today in almost the same form as then) and will likely be here long after we're gone.
People enjoyed watching criminals be torn apart by lions in ages past. That people enjoy something is hardly sufficient.

As a society we have to consider the amount of resources we put into, and damage caused by, all our pasttimes. Particularly for things which don't appear at all innate - maintaining lawns is by no means popular around the world, it's mostly a European diaspora thing. If it were stopped, it's doubtful most people would even remember them in a generation or two.
In Ulangi, you can click "add" to add specific vocabulary you want to learn. You can also click "add all" to add all of them from a deck (or set). This way you only choose to learn what is essential to you. I mean it's really painless to manage your own decks (or sets). Moving things around are also easy in Ulangi. Although I only watched the AnkiDroid app from youtube, I'm sure there are many significant differences between Anki and Ulangi.

You completely missed the point and failed to address any of the serious ethical problems they raised in the letter. We would be living in a dark dystopia if everyone's biggest priority was penetrating markets.

Tech workers are in high demand and have great salaries. Their livelihoods are not in jeapordy; they have their pick of where to work.
There's always a break even point on where keeping an employee is worth less than letting them go.

It truly depends on the company and employee though. For many people that point can be extremely high so they have the power to push for ethical (or not) choices.

That power of course multiplied by the number of such people.

When I bought my house last spring, I went for an electric mower. Unfortunately, my spouse's budget for yard tools made me not go for the best, and I got one that doesn't cut evenly(twin blades is a terrible design), and the batteries die too quickly for my 1/3 acre lot. I should have gone with a corded one. Since my neighbors were getting annoyed with how much I neglected my lawn, I bought a used gas mower. I look forward to when I can afford a robotic mower to deal with it, but in the meantime I'm going to turn a large portion of my lawn into garden, and build a fence so my neighbors aren't such busybodies about how long it is getting.
I created this little PHP project to help me to publish some pages and small web applications on my server, but keeping it private.

But no-one was forcing you to use wired headsets before either. There were options for wireless available.

I think the question remains whether making wired headphones harder to use had zero benefits. That's a different question than whether making wireless headphones easier to use had.

You made an economic argument for the former question - but you can't make that argument and say "no one is forcing you" at the same time.
> Unless you construct that environment in a way that's 100% isolated from anything on Earth, it disrupts something in nature. Again, by definition.

You limit your outlook by reading simplistic language such as "live like animals" - as definitive. Language is not truely definitive in this respect - reality is definitive and it is not simple. Humans are to a large extent animals and do live to extents like animals. There are many ways to live less like animals (humans can design and compute) some are helpful to other animals and some are harmful. Humans can be helpful or harmful. Be like one animal or another or like no animal yet seen. Definition is symbolic.

Ecosystem services[1]

> Humankind benefits in a multitude of ways from ecosystems. Collectively, these benefits are known as ecosystem services. Ecosystem services are regularly involved in the provisioning of clean drinking water and the decomposition of wastes. While scientists and environmentalists have discussed ecosystem services implicitly for decades, the ecosystem services concept itself was popularized by the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment in the early 2000s. This grouped ecosystem services into four broad categories: provisioning, such as the production of food and water; regulating, such as the control of climate and disease; supporting, such as nutrient cycles and crop pollination; and cultural, such as spiritual and recreational benefits. To help inform decision-makers, many ecosystem services are being assigned economic values.

I think the government's job is to provide the goods and services that the free market can't effectively provide or wouldn't provide to most citizens. Roads, military defense, healthcare, etc. I'm no anarchist but I very much disagree the government should be deciding what is best for people. Areas where it tries to are a mistake.
I’m arguing for discrete mathematics in physics because it better represents (I think/wonder) the physical universe and doesn’t suffer from loss of fidelity as you point out.

That's the point. The original lawns were attached to mansions as a demonstration that the owner had fertile land that he didn't need to grow food on.
I once heard a broad transition to electric was tried, but they went back because people perceived the workers were just waving/pushing them around and not doing work without the gas engine noise. Electric tool companies need better sound designers.
>> a massive proponent of free speech and human rights

Yeah, 'human rights', right, so that's why they're so[1] focused[2] on separating families[3], and I guess 'free speech' is what allows the POTUS to be a racist[4], fear-mongering, corrupt[5] liar[6]?

Or is 'free speech' the thing that allows denial[7] of climate change[8] even while California burns to the ground?

And I guess with 'human rights' that goes along with the USA's tendency to start senseless[9] wars[10], often ignoring[11] civilian casualites?

It seems as though 'make America great again' is almost an open confession that it no longer is, or was.

> Business don't decide that kind of things, consumers do.

This is a cop-out. Businesses have a responsibility for the decisions they make, and "it's profitable" should only be one factor.

> If there were clear intention from the majority of Western people to stop using every Google product the same second Google launch the censored search service in China, then Google would never do it.

I think you underestimate how much Google has become not just the default choice, but the only choice for a lot of people, who have never heard of alternatives and who use Google because it's what their browser defaults to (we even call the very act of running a search on the internet "Googling it"), and might not know how to switch, much less reasons why they should.

I find the "market forces will take care of it, and if they don't then people don't care" argument more than a little disingenuous, because it ignores the huge number of variables that account for why people choose product A over product Y that have nothing to do with the quality of the product or the company that makes it.
Some basic heuristics I use for determining the capability of other programmers and myself:

1.) Does the code have a good bus factor i.e If the maintainer dies tomorrow by being knocked down by a bus, can other people pick up where he/she left off? Further research into the Bus Factor can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SARbwvhupQ

2.) Is the code well documented? This is so obvious that it is painful to write this comment, but it is a very simple heuristic for determining capability. Documentation can include code comments.

3.) Is the code resilient to weird input? The code should perform well under heavy fuzzing and where possible, sanitize different input. It should be tested against this: https://github.com/minimaxir/big-list-of-naughty-strings
A font doesn’t require continuous maintenance.
Where would it end, if we just kept inventing pronouns? Everyone getting their own pronoun? Like, perhaps a unique name? In the end, there'd just not be any pronouns. Problem is, pronouns are useful. They compress text.

One time I wrote a paper in high school where I didn't use any pronouns and always referred to Abraham Lincoln as "Abraham Lincoln", just so I could pad the paper as much as possible with the full length of Abraham Lincoln's name.

"Abraham Lincoln, in Abraham Lincoln's famous Gettysburg Address, suggested that Abraham Lincoln could..."
...and insects have no interest in plants.
And then there's the effort put into making us even more squeamish. Kinda like you can't sell pointless cleaning products to people who aren't paranoid about "germs" etc. Yes, nobody wants insects in their home, but there's still a difference between that and finding them "gross" when they're outside doing their thing IMO. I wouldn't assume that our distance from insects is just a result of our "natural" being grossed out by them, it might also be the other way around. Probably a bit of both. I'm sure there's a lot baked in for good reason evolutionarily, insects do transmit diseases after all. But still, we also have a lot of great ways to deal with that without outright having to turn everything into a wasteland.

Maggots and fruit flies and spiders are one thing, but if people are grossed out by a butterfly, the problem is with them. Yes, I also jump when a big fat spider crawls on me when I don't expect it, but other than that, it's a matter of practice and perspective. ("it's even more scared of you than you of it" and all that). If we can't grow up to even that level we're truly hopeless.
I wouldn't say logistics is completely ignored, but yes it is under represented.

I'm sure I've come across contemporary lists of what lords would have to supply for a mediaeval campaign, (something like each lord shall supply X archers, each with Y arrows, also Z men at arms) so you could work backwards from there.

Things are too conflated in society to really get around gene vs societal/circumstantial-pressures on success.
However, I can see animal models with random assignment uncovering genes that help animals solve tasks. Comparing identified genes from animal models with frequencies in human populations would seem a fruitful path (even if we may not like some of the answers), that I am sure is being done already.

I think it was mainly a status thing, in that you could afford to have vast amounts of land that weren't producing anything, and the workforce to maintain it. Like, it's something a French king would do at a Chateau to complement their rose gardens.

It's just crazy to think that now it can be against the law (or at least against HOA rules) to not have a lawn. Like it's illegal to plant a vegetable garden in your front yard.

Sad broken heart quotes
I understand that this is his position, what I don't see is his reasoning.

If everyone is free to do what they want with their own time and money, they are also free to condition their participation in the project. As far as I can tell that is not what he is saying though. What he is saying is that you are not entitled to anything, meaning that you can't expect anything for your participation.

If he had just said that he runs the project how he want and people can "take it or leave it" that would be another thing. But as I read it he is specially questions the right of others to question the project. Essentially saying that they don't have that right. It is this position I don't see him backing up with an argument.
