Thank you for the reasonable answer.

Still, I find no harm in asking "what is it about this species that makes them stand out?" I was expecting to get factual answers along the lines of "these butterflies are tied to this specific other species and we know that this could snowball into X, Y, Z". I would've liked to hear something like this instead of the other patronizing answers and the accusative tone.

> Asking questions is fine! It's great. It's how we learn. But cavalier comments like the OP are downvoted not because they are asking serious questions, but for stinking of militant ignorance.

I'm getting downvoted just like OP. Am I being cavalier too?

I'm more concerned about our inability to have a discussion without assigning nefarious implicit meaning to questions.
I realize that denying human impact on the environment is a reality in US politics. I'm not from the US. I don't understand much of these things.

If you don't mind me asking, what exactly in OP's question made it stink of militant ignorance? Am I displaying the same ignorance as well? Or am I only expected to perpetuate the outrage and never question anything.

For instance can I ask where this comes from "The extinction rate today is 100 to 1000 times higher than geological norms." or will it sound like I'm denying all human impact on the planet?

It's not dogma but yes it could be classed as zealotry, and not in a derogatory way. There are worse things to be a zealot about than public health. I cherish one part of our country that actually has written, founding principles.

They shaped what the NHS has been for over half a century, and what many people still want the NHS to be.
This reminds me of how some studies are proven to be true but the reason they are true are not the reasons the author of the study presents. Instead, the true-ness is either a coincidence or a correlation, not causation. These people go on to write books and entire industries are formed around these hypothetical truths and it takes years to undo the damage of the original study (e.g. marshmallow test, jam experiment)
Passive describes the level of effort, not the investment. Usually passive income is rent-seeking.

Property management is a great example. I can buy a cheap house in a lousy neighborhood, make a modest capital investment, sign up with Section 8 and get pre-screened tenants with guaranteed cash flow. My marginal work output is very low - a few hours a month.

I used to lease a few acres of land to a farmer. The only work was meeting to have a cup of coffee and exchange the check and paying the taxes. :)
I don't think I am - consumer acceptance is a critical part of economic viability. A product which nobody wants to buy isn't a viable alternative, regardless of price point.

To cast some perspective, Nissan has sold about 380k Leafs - the most popular electric car in the world - worldwide over the past 8 years. Tesla has shipped over 160k Model 3s in the US alone over the past 14 months (and currently continues to sell another 20k or so per month).

The vehicle market is huge, and Tesla has by no means conquered it, but they've put a much larger dent in it than any other electric vehicle manufacturer, and have been instrumental in changing public opinion on EVs.

When you are traveling in the high desert, going without headlights is a great way to see and avoid deer. The deer aren’t going to be dazed by your headlights, and you can see them before they dash out in front of you on the road.

But this isn’t recommended because if another car came along they wouldn’t immediately be able to see you! Light makes you much more visible, and it also allows you to better see a narrow part of the road (more if wide beams are used), but it hides a lot. Of course, being in the high desert in the middle of the night off a freeway, there aren’t many other cars around anyways, if any.
Most of this stuff was possible in C++03. Newer standards only make it more convenient and (arguably) saner.
Immigration is - probably everywhere not only the US - a sort of lottery. Depending on your time of arrival (3 other flights coming in at the same time?), your passport (biometric? citizen?) and your travel class (first get's off first, and will either have their own lines or simply outrun you to immigration due to their headstart). And then there are also prioritized programs (global entry etc) you could sign up for prior.

Extradition is a normal process that happens on a regular basis when people commit acts that are crimes in both countries concerned. To describe this as "doing someone's bidding" first requires being unaware of or ignoring that extradition is a reasonably common thing in the world.

Reading about Newspack, I'm wondering what their definition of "small news organization" is... considering after the "development period", they'll start charging sites $1000-$2000 PER MONTH. Again I'm not sure on their definition of "small" but as someone who runs a small news organization and is active in groups involving small news organizations, I know a lot of small news organizations would love to make enough money that $1000/mo for web hosting would be worth it.

Neither of the pages they link to in this announcement actually states what makes this worth $1000/mo rather than the $25/mo Wordpress normally charges. In fact I don't see literally anything describing what you get with Newspack at all.

>we’re seeing a need for an inexpensive platform

Is $1000/mo "inexpensive" compared to their normal price of $25/mo? I'm extremely interested in understanding what this actually is, but I just read 5 articles from various sites and none of them actually say what Wordpress is offering that's worth $1000-$2000 PER MONTH.
The problem with stuff like uMatrix (not specifically, but in general) when compared to Google services is that large, bureaucratic services have oversight where more than one person is responsible. Small services based on 'trust' rather systematic checks and balances (maybe rotating staff, management oversight) get compromised when guy's (sole dev) buddy asks for 'a favor'. You have these niche, word-of-mouth trust system that are anything but trustworthy when there is really nothing to stop a small group of devs doing 'favors' for each other because their morality is more based on personal philosophy and personal networks than anything objective. This used to be known as corruption, but I think that term has lost all meaning.
Or Facebook to Invest $300m in Influencing Local News.

Facebook newsfeed model inherently works against local news and small guys (unless some certain piece goes viral once in a while). Local news outlet based out of some small locality does not have a huge follower base that gets Facebook's attention. This is just another PR stunt by Facebook.
>> policy by which the US is forcing its immigration enforcement on to foreign countries. This is a new thing.

Speaking as a Canadian who regularly travels into the US, Canadians much prefer to clear US customs while still in Canada. It simplifies things and means that, should something go wrong, you are still in Canada rather than trapped in the US without a visa.
The old local news model is dying because it's top heavy and has enormous overhead. Local news isn't dying though, and is as valuable as ever. It's just in the process of completely changing.

One person can now do more with 1/1000th the budget of a local Newspaper with the barrier to entry being hard work, good writing skills, social media savvy and a love of the place they are covering.

More money to these organizations will just keep them on life support longer. Now if they changed their model 100% that would be a completely different story.

The future of journalism will be a lot of small teams (1-4) of writers/journalists/personalities running their own show in their city or state.

The financial woes of the old news industry is a symptom. A change is needed.
I'm very familiar with C++ and C# and overall I find I like C++ a lot better. There are a few nice convenience features of C# but knowing both languages I tend to find whenever they differ I feel like C++ made the better design choice.

And C# going all in on OOP is a part of that. It's reasonably clear now that OOP was mostly a big mistake and a dead end. C++ is less infected by going all in on it as it has always been a multi paradigm language.

Cruelty of Call-Out Culture
you're not entirely wrong. people who aren't gun enthusiasts will call pretty much anything that looks capable of automatic fire a "machine gun".

to someone more familiar with guns, a "machine gun" is a large weapon capable of sustained automatic fire that would be mounted to a fixed emplacement or on a vehicle. a "light machine gun" is a smaller version of this that usually requires more than one person to operate effectively. I can pretty much guarantee you did not see either of these things in a US airport. at the height of post 9/11 tensions I recall seeing security personnel with rifles and submachine guns (small automatic weapons that fire pistol ammunition) at airports, but this is fairly uncommon today.
> This opening line is just all wrong. News isn't about 'what you want to see', writing news to garner clicks is basically another way of saying 'our news reporting is fundamentally biased'.

There are multiple meanings of the word 'want'. There is 'want' in the sense of what people will click on, which we have learned is not always good. But that doesn't mean that what people say that they want is similarly toxic.

For instance, if you ask me what i'd like to have for lunch today, i'll say "a nice healthy salad". But if you put a delicious burrito in front of me, I will eat that burrito instead. Does that mean I didn't want the salad? No. It means that preference is not a unitary thing. Assuming that Facebook investigated the question of "what do our users want" with this nuanced understanding of preference, and interrogated their users "higher wants" (articulated preference) rather than their "lower wants" (revealed preference), I think that line is ok.
Just thought I'd share these cheatsheets I wrote for the Python and React.js coding courses I teach in Oakland (Kickstart Coding). They are designed to look good when printed. My students have found them useful so I thought I'd share them with all.

Hopefully the cheatsheets will be useful, and perhaps even the build-scripts and templates will be useful for writing your own cheatsheets in Markdown.

* Topics covered: Python, Django, HTML, Bash, Git, JavaScript, React

* How it's built: These cheatsheets are written originally in Markdown, converted into LaTeX using pandoc and a custom pandoc LaTeX template (very messy), and then generates the PDF. All this is tied together using a (also messy) Bash script "build.sh".

> Google Mail is, for most people, the safest email service, with the most mature and comprehensive 2FA, direct connectivity to GDocs to make viewing attachments safer

> If you work with sensitive documents (this checklist was originally devised for journalists and the airport lawyers), all the cloud drive services (not just Google Drive) are a bad idea.

So is Google Drive a good idea or a bad idea? Maybe for normal people Gmail is good, but in the next point you say this list is for journalists and airport lawyers, wouldn't you advice them to use something more secure like fastmail/proton mail, or if you are serious, your own mail server or something? Why does this list not talk about TOR / PGP, the most fundamental tools for security for journalists?

> Chrome is the safest browser with the most mature and reliable anti-exploitation hardening and the most responsive security team.

I don't think this is true at all. What is wrong with Chromium or Firefox open source alternatives? Why doesn't it mention things like no-script and ublock origin?

> iOS devices are, for most people, far more secure than computers, which aren't locked down at all and for which any kind of local code execution is almost invariably game-over all the way through the kernel, and at least game over for all of the user's data. Most computer users are never more than an errant couple of clicks away from losing their whole machine to an attacker, which is not the case for someone reading their mail on an iPad.

My fundamental problem with this is that if you are going to be doing things on an iPad you are almost certainly going to be using cloud services. Weather it is Google Docs or Pages or Word or anything, it is very difficult to keep things 'local' to your hard drive on a iPad, where on a computer with dropbox it is much more clear that files in there are going to leave your computer.

The "conflicting" advice is to be expected. I can easily imagine someone putting Sony headphones on a "good options" list but the same person saying under no circumstances buy a Sony CD player. Brands are not a monolith.

In the particular case you mentioned they aren't picking on Drive, they're saying that if there are copies of your messages that's less secure in the sense that now somebody could get those copies, not the originals you have. Doesn't matter how, write an NSL, break into a server, trick a customer services agent - the problem is you allowed copies to exist, so it's not that Drive is specifically bad but that you shouldn't use anything at all.

For the iOS reliance, I personally wouldn't do this but I can see the sense of the advice. Full blown personal computers are not easy to secure against unsolicited garbage, why take the risk?

I'm not sure what you mean by generics if you think that C++ templates are not a kind of generics. Do you prefer that everything happens at runtime?

Similarly, subclasses as opposed to templates carry a runtime cost. Virtual function calls are not free. Why pay that cost if you can deduce the right code from the types at compiletime? Besides, and this is probably a matter of opinion, I find code hard to follow that uses inheritance heavily.
