> what is the "emissions deficit" of a small electric scooter?

I'm sure it's unintentional but it's not clear to me what you're asking. So a range of possible answers:

1/ I don't know because they don't tell us what it is.

2/ It's the sum total amount of emissions directly caused by its production divided by the number of units produced. See also: carbon offsetting on planes.

3/ It's a number greater than zero and given that the electric scooter in question does not appear to be obviously replacing a car but walking or cycling, it's a meaningful question to ask.

> Even combined with mass transit, surely the power consumed is miniscule compared with driving alone in a car, and the car is many times the initial manufacturing cost in metal parts, motors, even batteries.

This is totally true, but I don't think it's anything to do with my point, which is:

> It should be mandated that if you want to appeal to green-fingered consumers with your marketing, you have to state the emissions deficit from which your product operates and how many years it would take to recover from it with typical usage.

I don't disagree with anything you say about your Boosted Board being better for the environment than your Mazda 5. But it's nothing to do with my point.

> but honestly your comment sounds a lot like concern trolling to me.

I legitimately care that people are allowed to market goods as being environmentally friendly or "low emissions" without having to substantiate the emissions which go into their manufacture. Especially when they seem to me to be marketed as an alternative to cycling or walking, which seem to be obviously low-emission.

> If there's anything out there which needs an "emissions deficit" sticker to help dissuade conscientious purchasers, lets start with private automobiles.

Again you're not really arguing the point, but sure, I think this is a good idea (?). Especially for cars marketed as environmentally friendly but which come at a significant creation cost.
> But my next phone will be an iPhone.

I'm seriously considering my next phone to be one I build.

The hardware is available - cheap 4G LTE modules that plug right into a Raspberry Pi Zero exist; that and a cheap touchscreen will get you around 90% of the functionality most of us need, hardware-wise. You won't have a camera, or motion sensors. You will have GPS, voice, data, a screen, storage...

Basically everything you need for most purposes. And adding a camera and an IMU isn't that difficult, either.

The difficult part is - as always - the software. But people out there are building those pieces. Quite a bit can be done using plain-old Raspbian and Python on top, because the cellular module is essentially a virtual serial port device, and everything else has simple drivers or is otherwise easy to interface to.

Where I'll probably start, though, is with the idea of a custom "cyberdeck"; I already have most if not all of the parts, I just need to find the time to do it. It's form factor will be close to what the TRS-80 Model 100 was, though the screen will be...well, different. I'm considering a few options; probably a standard 800x600 HDMI screen along with a secondary 128x64 monochrome serial GLCD.

The ultimate thing about the whole project is independence (well, as independent as I can get - still have to pay some piper - aka T-Mobile - but maybe voip over wifi could be done in the future?) - and customization.

I may not have everything I want in the beginning, but what I want may only be a bit of extra coding, a tad bit of soldering, or likely a bit (or a bunch!) of both. I'm honestly tired of the games Google and pals are playing; kicking them to the curb may be the best thing to do.
Yes, but it could be a lot of work.

Trading on a brokerage account is one thing. Selling the fund to investors is another thing. If you are running an overgrown family office and you have a few outside investors that are an easy sell you might not have to work that hard at marketing, but if you want to get a substantial A.U.M. from many investors, then selling the fund is a full time job I think.
How much of this improved network code made it back into the original Quake engine, and therefore into Half-Life 1? To this day, I have yet to find a multiplayer engine for an ego shooter which feels as perfect as the one in HL 1. For lack of a better description, the Half-Life 1 (and mods) multiplayer game-play just felt (and still feels) crystal clear. This has to be one of the major reasons why Counter-Strike became so big.
As long as you let them know upfront it shouldn’t be an issue.

Why Software Is So Bad (2002)
I think a lot of what makes the game weird is the combination of fairly realistic characters with such obviously silly animation and gameplay. It's very counter to expectations and makes the game feel very sterilized, if they had gone for something more weird and stylized (like Splatoon) it wouldn't seem strange.

Also if they made a game about UN Peacekeepers shooting people and called it Peace-Keeping Elites it would still be pretty funny to a US audience. They they might be called Peacekeepers but if you made a game about them shooting people and called them that no one would miss the irony of that.
Let's not forget that there are humans making these decisions, and their names are...?

I would like to see their evidence that the Chinese government would actually harm CBS employees over the airing of this clip in the US. The international shitstorm that would create pales in comparison to Saudi Arabia's assassination of Jamal Khashoggi. And unlike with Saudi Arabia, the current US government isn't too keen on being best buddies with China.
It’s not just rural areas. There are vast swaths of low density suburbs all over the country. And getting to the city isn’t the primary concern—it’s getting between all these low density suburbs. I grew up less than 15 miles from DC and went there maybe a dozen times from ages 5-18. 90-95% of all jobs in the DC metro area are outside the city.

(That’s a big difference from Germany, where even in relatively rural areas most people live in villages that are pretty dense.)
>Compare this to GNOME, on the other hand, which regularly removes popular features and ignores all user complaints.

The fact that GNOME is the dominant DE for Linux, despite this fact you cite, really is confounding considering that the whole point of FOSS is supposed to be that it empowers the users. It almost feels like the entire existence and adoption of GNOME by many prominent distros was a conspiracy to prevent FOSS desktops from succeeding.
Agreed, and adding on: DADT was basically a non-enforcement policy. LGBT people were disallowed from military service for decades before 1993. Bill Clinton actually tried to remove that restriction entirely, but ran headfirst into political opposition. DADT was a "temporary workaround" that he could impose at the executive level to make some amount of progress, signify a successful compromise, and make the issue go away.

This was a theme of Clinton's early administration: he interpreted enthusiastic political support for him personally as enthusiastic political support for the sorts of progressive reforms he was trying to enact and ran full-speed into a brick wall trying to pass those reforms. Another example was the attempt to pass universal health care. After Clinton faced one of the biggest midterm electoral backlashes of all time in 1994, he changed strategy and never returned to the issue.

Clinton's legacy on LGBT issues (and many others) has to be addressed within the context of the times. Clinton faced a heavily resurgent Republican Party for 3/4 of his administration after spending the first 1/4 of his administration pushing for progressive reforms that were too far and too fast for most Americans. Clinton is unfairly remembered and blamed for the compromises he made at the time; in the greater context, Clinton's compromises were calculated holding actions that stemmed the tide of conservative reaction long enough for American public opinion to come around on these issues.
> China isn't even in the same league when it comes to the harm of US hegemony.

No need to pick one or the other. There's plenty of hegemony from both to go around:

"The Communist Chinese invasion in 1950 led to years of turmoil, that culminated in the complete overthrow of the Tibetan Government and the self-imposed exile of the Dalai Lama and 100,000 Tibetans in 1959.

Since that time over a million Tibetans have been killed. With the Chinese policy of resettlement of Chinese to Tibet, Tibetans have become a minority in their own country. Chinese is the official language. Compared to pre-1959 levels, only 1/20 monks are still allowed to practice, under the government's watch. Up to 6,000 monasteries and shrines have been destroyed. Famines have appeared for the first time in recorded history, natural resources are devastated, and wildlife depleted to extinction. Tibetan culture comes close to being eradicated there."

I totally forgot about YouTube, but that is a great point.

There is no good alternative to Google maps on Android IMO.
I've tried

- HERE: the app is not great and I'm not sure it's any more private than Google.

- OsmAndroid: as a map it is fine. It doesn't do address searches very well which makes it useless when you need to get somewhere you haven't been before.

If anyone has a suggestion I'd greatly appreciate it.
Re Lambda, I think the closest analogy is renting unfurnished office.

When our company moved into next office, it had bare walls with old ugly wallpaper. We paid for the new wallpaper, carpet, interior walls, wiring, etc... And we also kept paying the rent to the building owner, and were at their mercy when they eventually decided to stop renting out that space.

Even then, this made perfect sense for business. All-new construction would have been way longer and more expensive, even taking limited lease time in the account. Why would software equivalent of this (Lambda) be different?
Yes please

or lets just have it all and stop worrying so much (so lets have these ungendered ones, sure, but lets also have a real gun emoji)
I'm saying that the act of raising minimum wage DOES NOT EFFECT how much land owners win / loose. It DOES cause the price of everything to go up however, so it has the net effect of wrecking the middle class.

To actually increase //quality// of life, the good things must cost less to buy; that is achieved through taxing profits, increasing supply, and well designed market regulation in general.

No, it doesn't. Third party keyboards have two levels of access and they come pre-installed with the much more limited one (no access to internet whatsoever, no matter if you're on WiFi or 3G/4G).

Doesn't stop Google's keyboard to periodically pester you to give it full access "to get the full experience" (or something along the lines) but if you don't, it will never get or send a single byte to Google's servers.

Trust me, I researched. I too didn't want the huge irony you mentioned to hit me. And it doesn't.
If you reuse the base image, the libc files will be shared anyway.
How much consent is needed though? IIRC Cline said in most cases that the sperm was from a medical intern. Given that he was not a medical intern, this is a lie which arguably negates consent.

Other possibilities get more murky; given that frozen sperm was not yet a solved problem, it's clear that the donor would be nearby, so what if Cline had instead said that the sperm was "From someone who works in this office" that would be factually true, if misleading. What if he didn't claim any particular source for the sperm at all?

>Professional setup has much tighter tolerance than 3dB.

To comply with CISPR (as an example), a lab only has to validate <4.5dB (in the 30 MHz to 300 MHz range), and up to 5.2 dB (from 30 MHz to 1 GHz). See for instance [1].

By the way, if you are doing this kind of testing routinely, you need to check your PCB layout process. This fine grained tweeting should be a last resort option.

God I fucking hate the nonsense "range vents" on the bottoms of microwaves that is typical of many American homes (mine included). They do literally nothing. It's infuriating that in my new-construction, rather nice, home I get this pretend bullshit in my otherwise lovely kitchen.

I'm tempted to get a proper range hood just because this infuriates me so much, but the cost of redoing the whole cabinet above the stove is steep.

Can you cite any firsthand account of this sort of thing happening somewhere in the US? Given the ease with which people can reach millions of people with their tale of woe/outrage the fact that such stories are not readily available on social media makes me think this is mostly urban legend.
I have several things to say here.

I see we are still debating the same points as many years ago (GIMP vs Photoshop, Visual Studio, paid vs unpaid labor, chicken and egg, convenience...). It’s like we haven’t learned anything.

About the end of general computing, I don’t see it as a bad thing. In some way it has always existed. Right now we have server computers, desktop computers, smart phones, mainframe, cloud... even on a single class of computer we have some segmentation. It just means we’ll have even more specialization. And FOSS still can have a place there.

Speaking about that, I believe FOSS is stronger at the foundational layers.

Maybe the future is kind of and hybrid model in which we have lots of new computer classes with FOSS as their foundation. Not very different from what we have now, just much more diverse and, I hope, more open.

That's accurate description of their business interests.

Free Software enthusiasts can't advocate against copyright, because it's the only thing that gives the GPL any meaning at all. In a copyright-free world, any company could make a proprietary GCC fork, lock its code up behind many layers of physical and digital security, make all its developers/employees sign NDAs and other legal agreements ensuring they don't leak any of the new code, et voila. Hardly sounds like a Free Software utopia.
Isn't that the purpose of Google Takeout? If Google isn't providing the most value for your data, you can take it elsewhere.

That's how I use Internet services. If they don't do anything useful with my data, I don't use them. If they do something useful with my data, I use the one that does the most useful thing with my data. Thus, Gmail over other email services and Slack over whatever nonsense Google's messaging product managers are pushing today. And Apple services for nothing — collecting data and not being helpful with it is stupidity, not "privacy."

Not sure how widespread that view is, but that's never the association I would have made.

"Xless" is just a different way of saying "without X". "fearless" = "without fear"; "serverless" = "without a server" (yes, I know, not really); so "distroless" = "(comes) without a distribution"

So in my opinon the name correctly suggests that it's "just the package" and comes "without a distro", and not "was built without the help of a distribution".

I think I'm not understanding if you really answered the question you quoted - what specifically is the concern with having that information extracted? Is it just "it feels creepy"?
