It's so funny because that comment on TechCrunch.com is true. You think you are correct because enough people have told you how to think. When you actually look at the science. When you examine the data and ask critical question the theory of man made global warming falls apart.

Do global temperatures change over time? Of course. There have been five ice ages in the history of the earth. Did you know that we are currently in an ice age? In fact we are in an interglacial period that began about 11,000 years ago.

So what drives global temperatures? Is it CO2? Let's look at the history of this planet to answer this question. Can we do that?

It turns out we can do that... We can use ice core data (and to a lesser extent tree rings) to look back thousands of years of global temperatures. We also have co2 levels from air bubbles captured in the ice cores.

So is there a relationship between co2 and global temperatures? There is. But... the relationship is the opposite of what Global Warming alarmists what you to believe. Global temperatures drive co2 levels. This means that when global temperatures rise co2 levels rise hundreds or thousands of years later. And when global temperatures fall co2 levels fall hundreds or thousands of years later.

This is a fundamental fact that any honest scientist will not dispute. And this fact throws the entire theory of mand made global warming into the trash can.

By the way what does drive global temperatures? Look up in the sky and you see this big ball of burning gas. That is the entity that drives global temperatures and not trace amounts (co2 is 0.04 percent of earths atmosphere).
No, you can't trick your mind into things. It's too smart for that.

The best thing I've found is to just accept you have the ADHD and work around it. If I know I'm going to do a tedious task that is going to be boring and require concentration, I usually give myself a 2-3 minute break every 20 minutes just to get up and walk around. It's very important to have discipline to make sure the break doesn't turn into a huge 45 minute sidetrack.

I hope you are not a wumao. The salient thing about github and other similar resources is not that they are developed by people in the US and owned by a US company. People from all over the world use it. There is nothing intrinsically 'US' about the content itself.

On the other hand, the GFW excluding much content from outside China makes the China Internet experience particularly Chinese and not the "real Internet".

it's already too late. The planet is too small to accommodate this many humans. There is no hope. I understand the need to feel like you're doing something in the face of this catastrophe, but we're doomed.

The only solution is some as yet undiscovered technology that will reverse the actions of 7.7 billion parasites, who in aggregate are too selfish to make true sacrifices for the common good (myself included)
i went to howlin rays a few times when it opened (the line was “only” 15-30 mins long then). it’s delicious but the line is way too long now to go regularly. i switched to dave’s for a while but that’s now got a long line too. luckily new options have popped up and maybe will tame those crazy lines at howlin rays eventually.
That's a simplification.

Amazon warehouses ARE oppressive.

And there's nothing superficially wrong with automating the picking and packing of boxes.

The problems come later, and it's not Amazon's "fault" but rather a much larger problem that eventually we'll all have to deal with: what happens when "enough" people get involuntarily shoved out of the workforce, with vanishingly remote prospects of securing other paying work?

To be clear, the "abuse" of "terrorism" in this case amounts to rhetoric. They called the guy's tactics (posting the text of laws online) a "strategy of terrorism".

The first half degree Celsius of human induced warming was quite probably a good thing on net. There's really no way that the fifth half degree will be anything but a catastrophe.
Of course, and with good reasons. Before you wrote your comment, did you stop to think why people work inside Amazon's warehouses if the working conditions are so oppressive?

It's because the alternatives are still worse. And now they'll lose those jobs and have to face those alternatives.

Of course those of us who perceive this as an injustice will complain. The complaint is not directed at Amazon only, it's at the injustice of systemic oppression of the working class.
It mostly is an energy problem [0]. Energy, transport and industry produce 70% of the emissions. Solutions to reduce them already exist it's just that the politicians refuse to use them.

This doesn’t do the work you
might think it does. To properly know the contents of the law, to the high standard you’re demanding, you would have to read every court case any bit related to the prohibition in question. The annotations merely include a non-binding, incomplete summary of that case law.

Fair notice is pretty narrow. I am pretty sure (could be wrong), that there is no requirement to codify even. If a state wanted, it could leave its laws uncodified and require you to go through every page of legislative records to discover what the law is. What it can’t do is pass literally secret laws and then hold them against you. There are states that still have common law crimes inherited from before the revolution. These are crimes that the state legislature has never defined, but are recognized by judicial custom (though it is widely agreed that even the courts in those states could not define new crimes in this way)
Is there evidence to say the contrary?

I imagine instead of Amazon paying 11 dollars an hour, a small business has the opportunity to pay 11 dollars an hour.

But you're building a strawman there. I don't think I've ever seen anyone claim that javascript invented these features (especially not this one! It's a reference to the global scope...).

People are excited to have these features in their language, they may like the JS implementation better than others or vice versa, they may talk about how much it improves the language or how it's a detriment to the language to have it included, but I haven't seen anyone claim that "javascript invented this".

It's fine to want to be aware that JS isn't "state of the art" in language design, but I really don't think anyone believes that it is. (and as an aside, I don't think I'd want to use a language that was state of the art as the base for a large application, because that means that there isn't much testing or prior art to build from)

But that argument also misses the point. I'm happy to talk about the pros and cons of languages, I'm happy to discuss how erlang's message passing makes some things extremely easy to develop, how python's collections make many kinds of programming much easier to read. But bringing up how other languages have had a feature "years ago" once it's arrived in javascript isn't discussing pros and cons or offering reasons to switch, it's turning tools into sports teams where you are "rooting" for your favorite.

If/when JS gets pattern matching, you can be your ass i'll be in that thread comparing it to ocaml's approach, or F#'s approach to see the differences and similarities, to see the benefits of each, to see how they all fit into each languages ecosystem. But I won't be exclaiming how it doesn't matter because "other languages had this years ago!", because it doesn't help anything, it doesn't give anyone information they can act on, it doesn't discuss tradeoffs, it is just downplaying the achievements of the people that helped make it a reality.
If it results in the elimination of oversized boxes it should save on cardboard, also reducing shipping volume. This would be financially and environmentally be a good thing. Maybe they could also include in the box sizing algorithm the optimization of shapes for efficient packing.
What wording would you suggest to refer to these kinds of operations? Replacing history?

You mentioned "altered" history, which to me isn't much different from "edited" or "modified", though maybe that was just a slip and not your preference?

There does need to be some term for it. If I push a reordered branch, I clearly did more than nothing, even if we don't want to call that modifying history.

I do question if any term will work perfectly, or if there is any full solution other than one learning git to an intermediate level before discussing it. The problem, as I see it, is that there are (at least) two concepts of history, there is the DAG of commits, where ancestors are older, and there are branch-heads where you can change what they point to in unrestricted ways (pretty much the reflog). I'm not sure English has a really good metaphor that's going to capture everything.

I'm surprised that Amazon still uses boxes. They have the market power to insist manufacturers comply with amazon-specific packaging requirements. Why not just insist that all products be packaged in postal-compatible packaging? Then the amazon warehouse robot need only slap a label on the product and throw it in the shipping bin.

Another answer would be to have products packaged in standard, or at lease square, boxes that could be thrown into larger shipping boxes.

Or do away with the warehouse altogether and have products ship directly from manufacturers. I wonder if anyone has tried that?

Actually, xe wasn't.

The legal brief from the plaintiff, hyperlinked from the NYT article, dated 2015, actually says:

> Defendant’s founder and president, Carl Malamud, has indicated that this type of strategy has been a successful form of “terrorism” that he has employed in the past to force government entities to publish documents on Malamud’s terms. See Exhibit 2.

* https://law.resource.org/pub/us/code/ga/pro_v_georgia/gov.us...

It is purporting to quote M. Malamud xyrself, describing xyr own acts. To see whether that is actually true, one follows it to exhibit 2.

* https://law.resource.org/pub/us/code/ga/pro_v_georgia/gov.us...

* https://archives.cjr.org/campaign_desk/carl_malamud_public_p...

... where we find that it is a 2009 article from Columbia Journalism Review that says:

> It was a threat to commit “standards terrorism,” as Malamud later put it;

... with "later put it" hyperlinked in the original CJR article to https://museum.media.org/eti/ and the court exhibit containing that same URL explicitly. So the question is whether M. Malamud indeed described xyr own actions as "terrorism" there.

Indeed, xe did:

> While Tony certainly sympathized with my goals, I wasn't quite sure how he was going to react to this form of standards terrorism.

* https://museum.media.org/eti/Prologue01.html

So: Back in 1992, M. Malamud describes xyr own actions as "standards terrorism". That's picked up by Clint Hendler of the Columbia Journalism Review some 17 years later and directly ascribed as M. Malamud's own words; and 6 years after that, the plaintiff points out that that is how M. Malamud characterizes xyr own actions. Then the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and others misreport that as the plaintiff accusing M. Malamud of terrorism.

And the falsehood that the state of Georgia claimed that M. Malamud was a terrorist becomes the accepted truth to such a degree that even Wikipedia's article on Carl Malamud has stated it for the past 4 years.

I don't think there's a way to know for sure. I guess we could exchange links that described opposite points of view all day long, but we wouldn't reach any meaningful conclusions.

However I fail to understand why this human shield topic seems so unbelievable to some people. Terrorist-like groups such as Hamas constantly show a very explicit lack of respect for innocent lives (even for the lives of innocents who share their same culture), the most clear example being attacks directed exclusively towards civilians. You can say "similar" things about the US (and other governments), but certainly not the same thing.

One of the obvious reasons for this is that a terrorist group usually faces an extreme disadvantage when it comes to logistics and operational capabilities in general, specially against the US military.
Using civilian installations as human shield seems to be in line with the way terrorist groups usually fight back (using civilians lives as a mean to reach their goals).

I'm not saying that the fact that it's a plausible possibility makes it a reality.
It is a possibility (an unlikely one in my opinion) that a terrorist group decides to avoid killing civilians (refusing also to use this human shields) and tries to dominate the conflict spreading terror by any other means. And it's certainly a possibility that Israel created this hoax, too. I'm only saying it's not that strange seeing terrorist groups doing this kinds of things, without the need to create any fictional narration.
I believe something called 'communism' which addresses that.

Snark aside, automating shitty jobs is a Good Thing. Finding new and better jobs for those impacted should be a major political priority. Education is one aspect, but comes too late for those already on the workforce.

Places like Japan keep unemployment low by having many low skill jobs, like mall greeters and whatnot. This may be better than unemployment, but is possibly not the best use of human versatilty..

Unofficial versions of the law are available, somewhat.

The only official version of the law is the annotated one. Thus the only official law is deemed secret without payment by the state. Thus you cannot know the true law in Georgia without paying.

Not to mention the official annotations are considered authoritative. Lawyer and judges reference them, making them part of the law.

Actually, we have both context and original source documents, going back to 1992. Consider discussions on this page, which I suspect will include lots of people arguing the accusation, as a case in point of how very few people read and do their research.

Amazon has probably wrangled massive tax discounts with the cities and states their warehouses are located in on the promise of providing jobs.

This sentiment discounts whole segments of the population with mobility or visual impairments, for starters. Why shouldn't courts become more open over time to scrutiny, taking advantage of technical advances to increase transparency and by proxy faith in the institution of the courts?
The US would rather have no collateral damage at all. Hence the expensive high precision weapons and all that. If you are suggesting that the US should not kill terrorists, that's not a realistic proposition.

They can never hope to test all products out there. There are more products available every day than they have manpower to test. And even their tests are biased in their own ways. There is no objective measure to test everything.
Just a note: the use of the word "terrorism" appears to be Malamud's own usage, though likely taken severely out of context for shock value (I cannot find Exhibit 2, which is cited as the source of the term). It does not appear as if anyone is legitimately accusing him of terrorist acts.

That said, it is absurd that materials that have the force of law (being consulted and cited by judges themselves in rendering judgements) can be controlled by a commercial entity. I wish Malamud the best.
