You acknowledged that the Chinese government is operating ideological internment camps that happen to contain almost exclusively Uighur people who were taken there against their will and held without trial.

You refuse to condemn this, and you've provided justification for why they are necessary.

My original interpretation of your comment that was therefore correct with that caveat that you take issue with the term "concentration camp".

>You may condemn the inevitable abuses carried out by individuals with authority within these camps, which occurs not as a matter of official policy but as a matter of human nature

When there are systemic injustices it is appropriate to condemn the system. The vast majority of racial injustice in the US isn't a matter of official policy either, yet it's absurd that you would refuse to condemn the Justice system for the end result.

>editorialized headlines designed by the mainstream media to advance a political narrative.

Many non media groups have made similar allegations including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, The Government of Turkey, and The US State Department. This isn't a media conspiracy theory.

Amnesty international interviewed over a hundred people who claim that their relatives are missing. They interviewed people who claimed to have been tortured in the camps. To me, that alone is enough evidence for the world to demand answers.
We'll need a lot more wind and solar, so Prometheus will drive the expansion of these. We'll start out taking intermittent power that's low cost (wind at midnight, for example), but will soon have resources built for us to expand. This will be good for displacing other fossil fuel use (other than transportation), as we will be increasing the availability of renewable power, and also solving the problem of being able to use the excess (we can be seen as a kind of grid storage).

You can't? I've never done it but I'm pretty sure I know this: in bash, you can get it from pkg-config. If you aren't using pkg-config, you're kind of swimming upstream in the first place, but CentOS and Fedora (the only distro I use, but I think Ubuntu uses the same) look at /etc/bash_completion.d.

In zsh, it's just $FPATH. Your canonical location can also be gotten from pkg-config.

This seems very googleable. Doubly so if you're doing the right thing and...using pkg-config.

(Please use pkg-config. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.)
The core work is done, yes, draft-ietf-jmap-core-17 and draft-ietf-jmap-mail-16 [edit: fixed draft name] are in the RFC editor's queue, how long it takes to get through that queue can depend on a lot of variables. At the end it goes to "AUTH48" which is notionally 48 hours long but a few weeks is more likely in practice, and then it gets cut a number and becomes an RFC.

The Working Group still has open items, including calendaring (because people never can build a mail system that doesn't involve calendaring for some reason), handling "read receipt" type features and because this is Current Year a mechanism to involve WebSockets. Either those will eventually also be polished into standards, or they'll be abandoned at some point and undelivered.
With Terraform's import functionality, you might be able to migrate into Terraform without any downtime. I believe there are even utilities to translate CloudFormation code straight into Terraform, though I've never tried them.

It would definitely be an annoying migration, even if import works for your use-case, but honestly, dealing with CloudFormation is so irritating on a day-to-day basis for me that I'd consider it worth it.
Probably for the same reason they adopted Chromium as base for their browser.
The other part that is really lacking is security, in particular 2fa. The proposed standard says that obtaining credentials is out of scope, which means it will remain in the realm of vendor-specific implementations.
Neat! When working with Options/Results/Iterators, you can use `.map` [1] for exactly this purpose. It would sometimes be convenient to have something like `.map` / `.let` on unwrapped values as well.

How would they know they would be temporary? The Cold War lasted more than 40 years without stopping and no clear way out. People grew up knowing nothing but the Cold War. They had children who knew nothing but the Cold War. Each and every day people woke up realizing there was a very real chance this could be their last one on Earth. And in several instances we came extremely close to that becoming true. For instance a single man, Stanislav Petrov [1], is likely single-handedly responsible for stopping nuclear war at one point. We certainly wouldn't be here concerning ourselves over climate change had there had been a lesser man in his role!

And wars of time past were not like today's proxy wars or petrodollar warring. See Generalplan Ost [2]. Hitler planned to colonize central and eastern Europe by engaging in the mass genocide of native Slavic peoples, people who numbered in the hundreds of millions. And it's extremely unlikely he'd stop there. This is the sort of war where if you lose, the suffering has only just begun. And this was the reality of life for people in one way or another, for centuries.

'Irreversible' is somewhat misleading as used in climate discussion. It's used in the same sense as saying that the above consequences would be irreversible. And in that sense it's completely true. But many people interpret it, as you seem to be implying, to mean impossible to ever reverse. What it really means is that the expected return to a climatic equilibrium, through entirely natural processes, would take a length of time outside the scale of a human lifetime - hundreds to thousands of years. It does not mean permanently irreversible nor does it mean we go full Venus. And perhaps most importantly, technological changes such as carbon scrubbing [3] - which already exists but is not yet economically viable as a solution, altogether negate the notion of 'irreversible'.

What used to be behind firewalls oftentimes became accidentally public through the many, many blunders of publicly available S3 buckets that people started to use because they were frustrated with AWS IAM. This is ironic because IAM was supposed to help you secure your data and such, not make things worse for your security profile. Even with all the tooling that exists to help people write better IAM policies and figure things out, cross-account IAM permissions and roles, S3 bucket policies, etc. are a nightmare for most people beyond fairly seasoned engineers in AWS and that's a problem. Secure-by-default is not quite 100% true with most AWS services in practice unfortunately.
And the result is that the comments are really of very little use anymore. Time was they used to be enlightening.

Can you elaborate how gasoline is 'dirty' if the outputs were converted back into the fuel via carbon neutral means?

Such technology would make gasoline have no output, since the ouptuts would be reabsorbed. If anything, electric cars, due to the massive environmental damage due to rare earth mineral mining, would be more of an environmental disaster.

The problem, is how do you identify which of your "whales" (industry term, and useful to identify the mindset of the industry) legitimately have that extra disposable income, and which of them are maxing out credit cards and spending money they don't have?
It's not a hard problem. The problem is that the less common use case is being given the nicer UX. I use copy and paste 100x more often than the interrupt codes produced by CTRL+V/C. Put those interrupts in the context menu instead of copy/paste. If the use case needs to be inverted, make it a user preference.
This year's macOS update is expected to include a framework which makes it easy to port iOS apps. That will likely be exciting for developers, because there are _a lot_ more iOS developers than Mac developers.

The Mac is already a unix, so a lot of the things you list aren't necessarily things that Mac developers are clamoring for. WSL was a big deal because it brought the unix-like ecosystem to Windows, but Macs already had the ability to natively run a lot of unix utilities.
The only real option is carbon capture.

Everything else has the wonkiest side effects in the models, eg concerning atmosphere/ocean circulation, which heavily affects local and regional weather patterns, and the cooling is still not sufficient.

Given the embracing of other platgforms, and the convergance aspect of one .NET to rule them all. WHy they didn't rebrand it is a mistake they will probably end up doing if they want to pull in dev's on other platforms. Many who's exposure to .NET will be of a legacy flavour and maybe left a sour taste. A taste that will stick with them upon anything .NET.

I'd vote for .ONE, one API to rule them all.

Though convoluted does sell books, I'm sure we will see a title "When is .NET not .NET" soon.
You would think, but so far they don't seem to have figured that out.
>If we replace fossil gasoline with renewable gasoline, that reduces CO2 emissions

Nitpick: It will leave carbon emissions unchanged, but may reduce the amount added to the carbon cycle.

What kind of production quantity are you looking at? Small batch aviation fuel for a niche "green" airline? Every semi truck on the road in America? The neighbor kid's go-kart?

You give an "efficiency" of 60ish %, but I don't know how to interpret that. How many megajoules (or kilowatts) are required to produce a gallon of 86 rated gasoline?

Hey konschubert, first off thanks for your feedback and poking holes into our product, it really helps us with our planning especially in the early stages of our company.

We are building this product as an alternative to what exists in the the market today. One of the problems we solve with not giving cash to the consumers like alternative lenders is that we can kind of control where the money is spent. Illicit goods have to be purchased with cash and with a card method, our consumers will be spending with reputable retailers where CCs are accepted.

Another problem is that the primary method for these consumers to solve their money issues include loans and credit cards with high interest rates, fees that make money when a consumer carries a balance. With our 30 day payback, we want to make sure those fees don’t happen, we strictly want to focus on monetizing through the interchange fee and once we grow, partner offers similar to how seated and freebird work. Also, regarding the limits, since we have transparency into their bank accounts, we will grant limits that are within the means of being paid back by our users.

Lastly, regarding the privacy issue, totally understand that point of view. This card is built for someone that has no other option because they are new or have bad credit. We want to bring them into a world of manageable credit that helps them grow into the next level of cards whether that is with us or another company.

How does your expected 50-60% energy efficiency compare to the current energy efficiency of oil extraction? Extraction and especially refinement must be pretty inefficient. How do the end to end costs compare, and why do they fall the way they do?

It is way too early to worry about manually driving a car becoming illegal. For that to even be a possibility, self-driving cars will have to be perfected and then become completely ubiquitous. If that happens, I think it should be up to the society that exists at that point to decide whether manual driving should be banned (for example if self-driving cars are much safer by then).

Requiring cars to have wheels is also premature, because there are currently no cars that are safe to operate purely in self-driving mode with no backup driver, but once (if) there are fully self driving cars, people who can't manually drive will probably want to buy them. At this point, it initially may be necessary to at least disable the manually driving functionality in this case, if not outright remove the steering wheel, for safety (e.g when the car is being operated by children, people without licenses, seniors, etc.) and once this is possible it would be somewhat absurd for manual car aficionados to argue that simply making cars available in these configurations is somehow restricting people's freedoms.

Honestly, I suspect that 99% of drivers don't actually enjoy driving and will adopt self-driving cars as soon as they are inexpensively available, and in the long term removing the manual controls will probably provide more room for making self-driving cars more comfortable (making the seats recline like beds with a suitable safety harness, etc.).
The article said the minimum wage is after expenses. I think the minimum wage is high compared to other ride share wages in other areas. It also above the minimum wage in New York, despite being more flexible than other jobs. My wife is a driver for doordash in the Bay Area. She willingly takes compensation below minimum wage (if you take into account expenses), because she can drive any time she wants.
It appears to be opt-in via group policy. This isn't something you'll run into on the web at large.

Okay, let's take your argument to the extreme.

You say that choices whose primary consequences are to be born by the family ought to stay with the family.

With that logic established, do you believe violence against family members is permitted? How about psychological harm or abuse?

Your logic doesn't hold up because we've established that certain things are Bad regardless if it's self-contained within a family unit. Ergo, vaccinations should be included as something that should be included. Avoiding vaccinations I argue is tantamount to child abuse.

WSL 2 is a (lightweight magic) VM.
This vision structure paints Mono as "merging" into .NET 5 where the MonoVM will be a optional switch with CoreRT and the goal of MonoFX entirely dropped for CoreFX. It also sounds like they want to converge the hosting APIs so that products such as Unity may easily switch between MonoVM and CoreRT. At that point, if Mono is .NET 5 and Core is .NET 5 (embedders like Unity would move to embed to .NET 5), there maybe isn't really a need for .NET Standard.

> I also like that they make their products available on other platforms. I know that if I switch back to MacOS my OneNote, word docs, and C# code can be brought over without issue. The same equivalents for macOS don’t provide any cross platform equivalents.

This is what essentially kept me off from adopting Apple's walled garden or Google's web only systems (except for Google Photos and YouTube). I've had devices from either of these firms but I always restrain myself from investing into their platforms because one day I'll find something better but they'll hold my data as a ransom. Google will let me "export" the data, but in that form it is almost useless to me.

I also game a lot, so no other platform comes even close and now Windows has shipping support for:

- Mixed Reality / VR

- Raytracing (not just a tech demo)

which no other platform at the moment does.
I currently run on Windows servers, some of which are Core. Tried nano but its terrible as there is no package manager and no support for msi files. If you install anything in docker it takes GB's so we used VM's for bakcend/frontend running Windows Server 2016 behind IIS/kestrel/nginx and every other supporting tech on Linux (not core). One of the reasons to use Windows was Sql Server but mostly PowerShell which we do all automation in. Backend service is used to register invoices for entire country and it has 1M+ users, we have 60-100 logins per minute and 500+ concurent actions. Backend is served by single server (!) and never gets more then 10% CPU load and 20% memory with that load. I am amazed honestly. Zero dev fucktitude (once we ditched Angular, but that is another story). Almost zero downtime (30-50s to build and deploy with db migrations).

Now, we use Linux alpine docker containers, use postgre instead Sql Server and pwsh with Invoke-Build to run CI/CD stuff. Sworm for orchestrations and compose for local.
Have 2 incoming country-level services this year for production. Currently on dev/stage it works really fast but load is trivial.

We did a lot of performance test on Windows and achieved 1.5-2K req/s with hello world and our setup on IIS/kestrel. Did no test for linux variant so far.

> I've thought about going with Java,

Java compared to latest C# is like ... Clojure to VBA. No brainner really, plus Oracle (sure, there are alternatives).

Also, entire Java enterprise stack is overengineered beyond repair. I need 77 classes for basic stuff. Take .NET core you wont regret it.

If the inputs are truly CO2 and electricity, and 100% gets converted to usable hydrocarbons, then there's no waste water; the catalyst and water remain behind.

Assuming some water is lost due to electrolysis, you can top it off over time.

If the catalyst breaks down, or some undesired reaction limits efficiency (i.e. generation of perioxide or other undesired chemicals that degrade or react with the membrane, electrodes, catalyst, etc) then I think there might be some treatment or maintenance necessary.

However, none of this sounds remotely as bad as the treatment needed in the production of petrochemicals or lithium batteries or recycling.
Most advanced economies are phasing out coal. Worldwide it's less than 30% of power generation.

Also, fuel is fairly transportable. You can produce the fuel wherever renewable electricity is most available, and sell it worldwide. The economics are comparable to aluminum, where a large fraction of the world's supply is produced adjacent to geothermal power stations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Iceland#Aluminium
I hope it will be possible to run docker seamlessly without a virtual machine and lots of extra setup once this ships. That will be a big advantage over MacOS where you need to run a fat VM that gobbles your memory and takes time to start-up.
Compactness and readability are related, in the sense that your working memory also works somewhat in terms of lines of code.

There's a natural trade-off in the sense that in order to make something more compact, you have to rely on the context to provide whatever information you remove. For example, the ternary pattern of chaining ?:'s. You have to be used to it. However, once you know it, the more compact pattern works fairly well.
I can't help but think that this is better late than never. Every few years over the last 15, I attempt a move to *nix and every time I am disappointed for various reasons (drivers, package versioning, documentation and support, users experience when not using a command line, etc). However, I am always jealous of the tools available and if MS can bring those to the Windows world, I honestly don't know that I will ever bother looking elsewhere again.
