>Many environmentalists say that even the current world population can't afford Western middle-class quality of life.

What makes you think we (we as in those of us who see reduction as a focus on environmentalism) disagree with this? We are, indeed, already too many, meaning that we should reduce further, and further, and not just be content with our current numbers, and certainly not allow those numbers to keep growing.

The city I was born in, Montpellier, grew from 100k inhabitants in 1960 to 270k in 2018. It turned from beautiful Haussmann style architecture surrounded by crops of vines and wild countryside land to a nightmare of concrete towers, oppressive modern architecture ( https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b0/Pierres_... can you look at this and not feel overly disgusted?), overgrowth of suburbs around it to the point where we need to travel much further to see any wildland and a homeless problem ala san francisco that keeps getting worse and worse as we fail to build as much as necessary to fulfill the need of our constant growth and and rents and property costs keep growing beyond more and more out of reach of the average french man living there.

It is not just about CO2 emissions like what people on the left side focus on so much. It is about quality of life itself. Or lack thereof induced by letting things go on like this.

You are right, current numbers are horrendous and more than the earth could withstand if everyone had western middle class style economy, as even western countries have too much population. It isn't solely poor countries that should reduce their numbers. Encouraging people to sterilize in France would be a great thing too.
A problem with cats is their natural reaction to a leash: they start moving backwards, where dogs move forwards. It always fascinated me how different cats and dogs are, in many ways.
Posterization is the technical term for this sort of banding.

Banding can refer to all sorts of things that form bands, like fixed pattern noise from a camera sensor.
The Perl 5 core is hack upon hack, to the point that it's been mostly abandoned due to how hard is to change things without breaking anything. Perl 6 was born as a specification, which allows for a "first make it right, then make it fast" approach.

Adam Curtis is great. He's been making films for about 30 years and has a large fimography. Early in his career he's made some 20th century history documentary series, very recommended. Lately he's been making great films about contemporary phenomenon, I loved both of his last films, Bitter Lake (2015) and HyperNormalisation (2016). Highly recommended, especially the latter.
That's assuming it can be made fast. It's been stagnant around this level of performance for quite some time now.

> I will get downvoted for this "cynical" comment, and in six months or a year, everyone will have forgotten.

No need for that. It's not an unreasonable thought. If you get downvoted now it's probably because of this second part of the comment, or because the first part doesn't contribute much.

Personally I think it's impossible to say. You could've made the same prediction for the tweet Elon made about solving Australias power problems with that battery plant. It'd be totally reasonable to be skeptical, but see how it turned out.

As I understand it, the ever-increasing interior volume of a black hole is deduced from the equations that support general relativity theory, which itself is supported by experimental evidence, so I think that's how it differs.
“‘U.S. moves against Huawei and ZTE may be intended to force China to remain a cheap supplier instead of a threatening competitor.“‘

This is what I also first thought when hearing about the arrest. This is all about economic warfare. Long term, I think this will be bad for my country (USA) because this will induce China to continue a huge national program to develop home grown tech.
Yes probably, but I wonder if that depends on the specific companion.
Whats the TFA discussion? Can you say why are deletes such a serious hindrance?
Regarding "normal" 3d printer technology, anyone who's thinking of getting a basic one to play around with, take a look at the Creality CR-10S. It sells for $369. There's lots of youtube videos of sample output from it and reviews.

The bigger version of the same thing which can print 50 x 50 x 50 cm volume, the CR-10S5 is $629.

I have no connection to the manufacturer or Chinese vendors, just throwing the name of something I'm satisfied with out there.

The problem is also that you must make the game advantageous to all party involved So if you allow a prison to run for profit you must devise incentives that allows the prison a certain "guaranteed" profit.

What is hard is not just finding good metrics (that cannot be gamed), it is finding good metrict (that cannot be gamed) that can also provide profits to good players.
I wouldn't consider that theft because it's common dealing with China knowledge that kickbacks are involved especially depending on who you work with. Being paid by both parties are not uncommon for an agent.
Yes, I am a gamer, and my wife plays occasionally too. We set limits on our kids gaming and use it as a tool for rewarding good behavior. We created a “real life battlepass” for our older kid where he gets 4 weekly challenges (chores, non-gaming learning objectives, etc.) that have to be completed by certain times in order to earn gaming time. We let him come up with one additional challenge that is non-gaming related and then another gaming related challenge (e.g. 5 eliminations in a game of Fortnite). This is all in addition to the normal expectations of keeping your room clean, school work, etc.

Managing their exposure to this type of media is important. They’re going to be exposed to it, and they enjoy it, so instead of fighting it we found a middle ground where we all win.
I find the intensity of the anti China sentiment in this forum to be quite puzzling to be honest.

> Do all these things and more and America will succeed and people will always want the USD.

From my limited understanding of the issue (emphasis on "limited"), it seems that Most countries in the world don't want the USD to be their currency of reference but are forced to out of fear of being invaded.

I may be wrong but from the oustide looking in it seems to me that a lot of people in the US live in denial and don't necessarily want to come to terms with the fact that the show is almost over.

We have definitely not observed spontaneous creation of virtual pairs in a vacuum. I do not blame you for thinking so as it is often described this way.

Almost no computation in Quantum Field Theory can be done exactly. What physicists do is using perturbation theory which is very similar to doing Taylor series in introductory calculus. Feynman, in a genius inspiration, found a way to represent the various mathematical terms that occur in these types of calculations as pictures which could be described in words. In this pictorial language, one would say things like "this term correspond to the creation of a virtual pair of particles", etc." The perturbation expansion is a mathematical "trick" done so that we can do obtain approximate results. Each individual term in that expansion has no physical meaning - in spite of the pictorial language used.

Here in Ireland, we have pretty strict legislation around surveillance in the workplace. Any monitoring has to fulfil the three requirements of being necessary, legitimate, and proportional.

It has already been demonstrated that monitoring employee email to ensure that confidential information is not being shared is not consider proportionate (in a normal workplace), so I don't believe that monitoring direct messages in Slack would be lawful here.

Like that, but exactly the opposite. I loved Myst and that era of games, can't care less about anything that came since.
I love all the films I've seen by him, but I feel like Hypernormalisation was a cut above the rest. Adam Curtis feels like a continental philosopher (yes, I know he's British) making films instead of writing books and Hypernormalisation feels like his Magnum Opus. This interview is probably a great way to get the same in writing.
There's this one https://twiddler.tekgear.com (not cheap though)
This is very insightful: "Every morning Donald Trump wakes up in the White House, he tweets something absolutely outrageous which he knows the liberals will get upset by, the liberals read his tweets and go “This is terrible, this is outrageous,” and then tell each other via social media how terrible it all is. It becomes a feedback loop in which they are locked together. In my mind, it’s like they’re together in a theatre watching a pantomime villain. The pantomime villain comes forward into the light, looks at them and says something terrible, and they go “Boo!!”. Meanwhile, outside the theatre, real power is carrying on but no one is really analysing it."

The problem with indoor/outdoor cats is that they eat all they need at home, but still hunt and kill birds. A lot of them. Some species may be risking extinction. Plus, if you live in a condo 13 stories up, that's not possible.

> he would happily peel your face off for putting a collar on him let alone a harness

Takes time and effort, but cats are trainable. I grew up with a murder-mitted beast who didn't put up with anything. My cats now, I take the time to train them rather than let them be violent.

There's only so much a person would do for themselves though. I'd like to think most people eventually would want to work on something that has an impact on at least one other person. I would say having a balance of projects for oneself and projects that provide utility to other would be optimal.

On the other hand China is already committed to undermining US market dominance anyway.

So maybe this just buys US industry a little more time.

Allowing a foreign competitor to grow to a dominant position by skirting sanctions or from profiting from state-sponsored industrial espionage is not good either.
We tried this with a cat we had several years back. He had been an indoors cat his whole life. After a few very successful outdoor walks, he would sit at the door screaming until we let him out again and he didn't stop at night either... It became so bad that we had to place him at a new home at a farm where he can be outside as much as he wants. It's a better life for him for sure, even if we do miss him a lot it would be selfish to rob him of that desire for the outdoors.
If there’s no way to reduce the number of tools, languages and environments you use. Then perhaps a memorization tool like shortcutfoo (https://www.shortcutfoo.com) could be of help.

And if you’re using many different editors, then maybe learn VIM and use a vim plugin in all of them.
A great article. This is pretty much summarises everything I an raging about on HN. Every citizen of a self respecting nation has a personal responsibility to fight wrongs, and be sensible and rational in how he treats others.

Western society has become greatly desensitised to idiocy and wrongs.

Today's popular culture celebrates the "war on reason." We should reject and destroy it.

He is trolling them, and I find it hilarious, though it’s also about keeping himself in the spotlight. I suppose a narcissist.
Author here, I had completely missed that news. It is a bit concerning, you are totally right. I have edited the article to mention it and alternatives, thank you.
Latest Trends in Men’s Street Style Fashion
Well I think the key for me was the phisical excercise - the body and especially the mind requires it to be healthy, and martial arts just gave me something that I could consider “worth it” in the long run, and has its own very deep history and practice to explore and progress.

And after I got started the whole mindfulness thing just happened naturally as it was an integral part of the training itself, so it just made sense.

And with mindfulness my mind just naturally calmed itself down, I started to appreciate the moment more, and care less about stuff I couldn’t control anyway.

I never could start doing the meditation thing before on its own, but when I put myself in an environment were it was just par for the course, it was easy. I’m sure there are other ways to do it its just what worked for me.

I think I now just try not to do exactly what I want, but rather try to position myself into environments where that happens naturally, and just let it be. Sometimes it doesn’t work out exactly, but mostly it does, and is much _much_ less stressful.

Hope this is useful and best of luck :)
Does it matter if the effect is the same?

I'm a bit confused what you mean. There is no law, but quite a bit of precedent in various U.S. jurisdictions, including from the federal appeals courts of two different circuits, as listed on Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Browse_wrap

The Vitacost case you mentioned is not listed there but, looking at the decision, seems to be a straightforward application of two of the precedents (Nguyen v. Barnes & Noble and Hubbert v. Dell); it doesn't disagree with them.

I did forget one complication when writing my previous post, which is, at least according to the aforementioned Hubbert v. Dell, there are some circumstances where a browse-wrap agreement may be enforceable:

> In 2005, the Illinois Appellate Court ruled in favor of a browse-wrap agreement in Hubbert v. Dell Corp. In this case consumers of Dell products were repeatedly shown the words "All sales are subject to Dell's Term[s] and Conditions of Sale", including a conspicuous hyperlink, over a series of pages. The court found that this repeated exposure and visual effect would put a reasonable person on notice of the "terms and conditions".

But that's fairly different from a typical browse-wrap agreement.
I agree, but next time please use * or - for the bullet points, because > is usually reserved for quotations.
Myst was predated - and for some time, outsold - slightly by The 7th Guest, which was very similar in all those respects.

Neither of them were the first graphical adventure games without an inventory, as Loom had come out three years before. Several had likewise been in a first person view, perhaps most notably the MacVenture series in the 80s. The first CD-ROM game was The Manhole in 1989, which had the same designers as Myst.

Generally speaking, none of the individual pieces were particularly innovative, but Myst pulled them off well enough and in a simple enough package to appeal to people who didn't want to _learn_ to play a game. That's a merit unto itself.
Author here, I have edited the article to note that the analogy is mistaken. Sorry I had completely missed that piece of news.
Ah, this is very useful info, thanks. Hopefully one standard will emerge, but at least we don't have one standard per manufacturer.
An anecdata on that topic.

I am working for a subsidiary of big company.

Six months ago, while other parts of the company were divested, the plan was to keep us. Evey internal communications from the top management were saying basically "we are proud to be a strong pillar of BigCo going forward"

Now, it seems the plan have changed and we are going to be divested as well. Now the same top managers have all the same discourse (literally copy paste): "This is a new chapter opening, we are all very excited, and this will open new opportunities".

I don't blame top management or internal communication, but really you cannot have two opposite strategies in six months, and in both case think that is the best thing since sliced bread because it is basically meaningless.

So, top management knows they are repeating the empty official party line, employees knows that it is essentially a smokescreen, but everyone pretends everything is planned and this is working as intended, and everything's going to be great. The reality is that no one as the slightest idea of what is going on. If you step back, this is actually quite comical.

I think everybody already does so. But right and wrong are very subjective things and this fighting the wrongs is contributing a lot to the global mess.
University friends: By chance or by design?
I'm not saying you are defending VW but I don't think anything they did was remotely defensible.

I don't think it could be considered defensible at any level, either. But I do maintain that the market really doesn't seem to care: therefore VW are still in business which is what the parent was wondering. If you had bought a VW you really wouldn't have any reason to not keep driving it, as the end-user.

Conversely, I do think people would be absolutely furious if VW had cheated in emissions and fuel mileage tests to make their cars seem to run on very little fuel but in practise the realistic mileage would be much lower for the majority of owners. And I mean much lower than the general gap between measured and actual fuel efficiency. In that case VW might really be struggling to survive if they didn't have better technology to show the market.
It would be funny if you went to say, Uzbekistan or N-Korea and explained to people there why you think France is a totalitarian nation.
I had initially considered doing it that way but deemed it too tedious. I really can't stand calculating and correcting offsets all the time.
OK I didn't know that. The article makes more sense in that context.
> I don't think Trump really cares that much about these things, it'll only be a thing if it turns into a pop-culture war in which he may choose sides.

> But if MS and a bunch of other heavyweights are in favour of it, he just might even go for it.

I remember the first time I heard about Net Neutrality as an issue, in what, 2011 or something? I couldn't have imagined it becoming politicized at all. Plus, Wikipedia, Google, basically any tech company who isn't an ISP should clearly be on the same side. And yet, it became a political issue. People who couldn't explain the first thing about what Net Neutrality is, have opinions about it. Trump's administration is against it.

Maybe it'll be different for Facial Recognition, since people can better intuit about it, but honestly, that probably just makes it easier to fear-monger about, rightly or wrongly.

It’s a bit extreme to say putting projects on GitHub is worthless when it comes to generating job opportunities. In my experience, if you’ve got a project that delivers a ton of value to a suffiently large set of people, somebody usually will reach out.
> The opposite of stability is a politics of imagination. There is a yearning that there must be something more than the repetition we hear every day that “if you like this you’ll like that”. I think it’s coming but I take your point, you are right, there is fear of that. But the job of a good politician is to say, “Yes, I understand your fears but look, it’s not right and we can do better than this”. I’m waiting for a politician on the left to come along and say that. So far, I haven't seen one.

I'm very curious why he thinks Bernie Sanders doesn't qualify. Regardless of what you think of his political views, the political story he was selling fits this description to a T.

I suspect it's not that these politicians don't exist, it's that the rest of the political establishment also is afraid of them and cooperates to keep them out. Kind of like how managers never fire themselves.
