Why don't you read an article or two. It'll help keep you from making a fool of yourself.
Amtrak is weirdly a company that will suffer from climate change and could actually start addressing it (they end up shipping the vast majority of coal and could at least tax the movement of that good to recoup this expense) but most companies that will be hit by the effects of climate change won't be significantly contributing to it.

Industries that see ever more profit in fields with high externalities won't have direct a motivation to address those externalities even if they're aware of them - assuming they're unaware in any way.

(aside, coal isn't actually that terrible in terms of contribution to climate change, but reliance on it is definitely contributing, there may be bigger fish but this one has a good bit of meat on it)
Yea, that argument makes perfect sense, if you totally ignore that the speed of tunneling isn't dictated by the drill but by installing the support structures as you tunnel. The actual tunneling aspect is not the bottleneck (unless you're doing certain mountain ranges). The bottleneck is making sure what you just drilled doesn't immediately collapse on you. Along with evacuating the material out of the way. That's the reason tunneling takes so long. You have to support the new section of hole so it does't collapse due to pressure or a damn random earthquake happens to hit. To do that too, you need to properly get rid of the material out of your way so the structure is stabilized. The drills normally (80%-90% of the time) outpace the support structure building process already. You can only go so far until you have to wait for them to catch up.

Do I agree that electricity would potentially help? Yes. Mostly for exhaust. As long as you can equal out the torque as well. Motors that large don't always have the same amount of torque as their fuel counter parts. But massive batteries overheat as well and are an explosive risks. Diesel at least needs to be well aerated to pose as an extreme fire risk. Running a large battery for that long would be an issue. You still have the heat, but at least the exhaust problems are potentially not there. Even though large lithium batteries still produce fumes when run hot. But I'm not sure as to what ppm until those fumes are dangerous/equal to carbon monoxide.

Perhaps everyone has a strong opinion of headline candidates, like senators, presidents, governors and such. However, I think small group concensus would really improve the voting for everything else: state constitutional amendments, bonds, school board and other local administrative positions.
As a counterpoint to your counterpoint, at least Facebook's default setting is friends and friends of friends (I believe, it's been a while since I've had mine on the default setting). By default a personal website is public, and it'd be pretty difficult to setup authentication and user accounts for the people you want to be able to see your content, keeping it secure and preventing it from leaking. That is a pretty huge difference. Not arguing Facebook has been perfect, obviously they've had huge blunders, but it is vastly simpler and more secure (most of the time) for the average person compared to them trying to do it themselves.

> Companies will start constructing systems so that more data is "required" so they can legally collect and share more of it.

This is exactly what companies do. They decide what data they want, and then set out to find a way that each of those data elements is necessary.
> That idea was never put forward. Again, a nation is a people.

"A nation is a people" does not say anything. It's a totally empty phrase given that the notion of what makes up "a people" is totally fluid, and changes dramatically over time, as I pointed out. You won't find anyone in England who consider themselves Germans, for example, but most of them are descendants predominantly of Germanic tribes. And despite "British" as an identity is even more of a fabrication you'll find plenty of people who see no distinction between English and Scottish people, for example

And it changes rapidly: Even surveys of what nationality people in the UK consider themselves to have shows massive shifts over even the last 30-40 years. These things can not be measured meaningfully in "hundreds of generations" - they often change dramatically in as little of 1-2 generations.

The irony of what one finds in such surveys is that contrary to your earlier attempt to paint this as something lasting, families of recent immigrants to the UK tend to show much stronger feelings of national belonging than "ethnic British" people, and are largely accepted as British. Unsurprisingly given how much of the culture of many of these immigrants have become an integral part of British culture.

> It seems rather arrogant to tell other people what their beliefs are and what they are about.

Not when there is plenty of evidence.

> Would you tell Indians that they were evil racists for being "afraid" of the British invaders?

I wouldn't tell anyone they're racist for being afraid of people who are actually invading and taking their country. That you even try to equate this with immigration says enough.

> dictate to them who is allowed in their country?

You're the one assuming I am suggesting I should have a right to dictate to them. People are free to be xenophobes and bigots if they wish. That does not make them any less so, and I'm equally free to call them out on it.

> being so much more wise and experienced know better than they do

In terms of the UK for example, as I pointed out, it is not at all about my experience. It's about the fact that anti-immigration sentiments linked to opposition to the EU was strongest in the areas where people have the least personal experience with it, and in fact opposition to the EU in general was largest in areas with the least immigration. If they had actual experience of it, I'd have slightly more sympathy for their position, but most of this xenophobia is linked to lack of experience.

Living in London, as an immigrant, the vast majority of British people I meet are equally exasperated over the xenophobia in "Middle England", because most people here know immigrants, work with immigrants, or are in relationships with immigrants.

Right, I'm not saying that's a bad idea, just that it only seems tangentially related to what the Boring company is doing. If you want to store water then those tunnels don't seem very appropriate. If you want to transport water then they seem too large.

Of course it's not like I have any expertise in the domain, I'd gladly be proven wrong.

Maybe you should read them. Neither remotely supports the point you're trying to make.

Unless all you're trying to say is "people have been digging tunnels for a while". Which is about as useful as pointing out that people had been riding horses for a while so transportation was probably as efficient as it was going to get.
This whole thing is just a large amount of click bait. Ok, 1 in 4 adults check the phone less than a minute after waking up. 1 in 4 adults probably use the bathroom within 5 minutes of checking their phone!

This is just to offend those who do check their phone (which is also their alarm) when they wake up (which generates clicks), and to make those who don't check their phone when they wake up feel superior (which generates clicks).
You are incorrectly stating the Fallacy of the False Appeal to Authority. Citing an expert in their area of expertise is not an argumentative fallacy.

I have no views as such on the study in question. I just know that there is a study by an expert and there are bko’s objections to it. Which one is more believable? I think it is much more likely that you are wrong and he is right.

I’m guessing you haven’t read the professor’s work. The academic work he published and not an article in a magazine. So you don’t know if your objections have been accounted for in his work. You won’t take an expert’s claims at face value and instead trust your judgments on an issue you have no expertise on? This reminds me of Asimov’s famous quote.

Threads have been super useful for us, we have a few channels that are forums by social agreement where long running discussions are recorded to make it easy to reference. We found this style to be easier to review then breaking off separate channels per topic and we generally use it for initial feature exploration. Once something moves into the category of "We're doing this" we split off a channel and isolate the discussion.
This is meaningless drivel. 1MB of data a second by 2020, that utter bollocks. 1MB doesn't seem like a lot, but its a million characters.

What seems crazy to me is running this type of antivirus on servers. It's kind of a hacky drag on the desktop, but I can at least see the tradeoff - you're going to be visiting websites that could be hacked, downloading and testing software that could have been modified or malicious, etc. There have been plenty of cases of very safe mainstream ordinary websites getting set up to serve ads that install malware.

Servers, though. I get defense in depth and all that, but running antivirus seems like a step too far. Your servers should be locked down and only running well-tested software. Least permissions for all web processes, etc. Why risk slowing down or corrupting your server processes for a small increase in protection in an unlikely scenario?
For reddit you can get a feed for the top posts only, and for HN you can set a score threshold. I even follow newsletters over rss (killthenewsletter), which if you subscribe to some daily digests you get exposed to stories from a variety of sources on many topics. I can still run through like 250 headlines in about 30 minutes, reading or saving what I like to pocket and skimming over the rest. There is definitely set up and optimization with RSS, getting the right mix of feeds that you want, but I don't see any targeted posts or advertising when I browse the internet now.

Its also really good for following journal articles in my field. Pubmed has active search RSS, for instance, and every journal pushes their new articles to RSS.

I don’t understand how this problem of “human error” happened at a company like Amazon/AWS. Perhaps requests for Alexa info are rare enough that the internal interface for servicing such requests isn’t fully automated.

Controversial opinion incoming: decentralization isn't going to be a silver bullet that fundamentally solves anything. These services are still going to depend on large amounts of expensive hardware and infrastructure that must exist in the real world, much like cryptocurrency. That hardware is still vulnerable to control and influence from strong corporate or state actors, so the decentralized stuff running on them is always going to be under influence as well. Even with strong crypto, methods to manipulate it either directly or through side channels will be developed. It's absolutely inevitable. Somebody controls the power plants generating and pricing all that electricity, somebody owns the internet backbone hardware, somebody can afford a much higher hashrate, somebody controls tech legistlation, and somebody is on the bleeding edge of cyber-warfare with a DOD budget. Sure, some of the hardware will be in private ownership, but not the majority. If it ever becomes widespread enough to be of great significance, traditional power structures will absolutely contrive a way to seize it.

What this all really does in the end is create a technical caste system and obfuscation of ownership. People fortunate enough to have access and be up to speed on the latest technology (or hire people who are) will reap the rewards of decentralized systems which still belong to authoritarian actors, yet it will be extremely difficult to prove that ownership--especially to laymen. It will always have a nice hazy deniability, and it will be almost impossible to hold anyone accountable for their actions, or prevent or even identify exploitation.

This is absolutely the future of the web. Perpetual and stealthy non-neutral manipulation by the technically advanced and financially powerful is here to stay. I think that as engineers our tunnel vision and intellectual hubris have given us a false sense of security as we developed this hideous system, because we thought it was some kind of purely digital realm where we have real control and real comprehension of what we are doing. But nothing is purely digital. Everything is built on top of the real, analogue world where strong actors have already divvied up and taken ownership of everything.

If the page shows up as blank blue for you -- as it did for me -- try turning off CSS styles (e.g. View->Page Style->No Style in Firefox). I was able to get the images to load fine that way.

I have my phone plugged in on a table that's close to my bed (within 3 feet), but far enough away that I have to get out of bed to use it while plugged in.

Since starting the day with an out-of-battery phone isn't very pleasant, it's been very effective at preventing phone use before bed. It still works fine for alarms, or, if I'm on call, pages.
I use VirtualBox myself.

I started out using Parallels at first, but can't see having to continually pay to upgrade, especially when I'm mainly using Linux images although I do run a copy of Windows periodically.

Yes, I know that, and that's why I know and use SQL instead of MongoDB. But that's a very similar reason to why I've resisted learning Rust, and Ruby, and React, and Docker, and Scala, and many more. I know I could learn the utter basics in a weekend, but I also know that those basics are utterly useless in a real-world context, and I would prefer to spend the weekend hacking on my open-source project in Python or C, which I've already invested the years into. And that's how engineers age into irrelevance..

I'd be fairly comfortable using #7 or so birdshot in a suburban environment in limited quantity if people were evacuated or indoors (risking property damage is much better than injury or death). It won't break skin at 100-150 yards. I assume you'd either shoot from the ground or, if it's out of that range, from a helicopter.

Actually pretty curious about shotgun-vs-drone best practice, now. Most of the shotgun data I have is for horizontal ranges. This might be a good way to use up some cheap drones out in the desert next time. The other question is how much damage various kinds of shot with various levels of energy will do to different drones.
