> 1. Fighting climate change isn't all-or-nothing

It may well be all-or-nothing if you believe in the tipping point theory. And even if that doesn't happen, there is no scenario where we do a "little bit" and get a decent result.

> 2. You do not need to not eat in-state-vegetables to be practical about climate change. This is a dishonest conversation tactic when vegetables are the tiniest fraction of a percentage of carbon generation.

Shipping vegetables across the country would be a much larger share of CO2 emissions if we were anywhere close to where we need to be on the other stuff. In a world where China added more than 6 gigatons of CO2 emissions since 2000, developed economies must go carbon neutral or carbon negative. (And even that won't keep us to 2C unless we manage to keep India and Africa from following a similar trajectory to China--i.e. ensure that those people remain in desperate poverty.) And in a carbon-neutral economy, there is no room for organic vegetables shipped from California to Maryland.

That would be great if the technology existed.
This is baffling to me. IANAL, but I was under the impression that any documents created by the government were automatically in the public domain and couldn't be copyrighted (with the exception of classified documents, of course).
You can always make x better than y by choosing the criteria that define "better".

Making plastic "better" than paper requires ignoring the plastic particles that are building up in our drinking water, the plastic bags that litter the world, etc. Blah.

EDIT: I want to rant. That comparison linked to appears to include the energy to recycle paper in paper's carbon footprint, while it has no such cost for plastic, not even an estimate of what energy could perhaps be required to recycle plastic as well as paper actually us. Sigh.

Hmm, might be more apt to say you purchased an Apple self driving car whose GPS only takes you to places apple approved and listed. It doesn’t let you drive and it doesn’t let you input your own destination but it’s pretty damn cute looking and it’s pretty safe. You can choose to use another method to reach similar destinations so long as it’s not Apple. You lose your choice by accepting the perceived benefits of the platform. The end users are the ones who can sue Apple if this ends up being ruled a monopoly.

I am for "right to repair" but one thing that has been left out of this narrative/discussion, in this article, and elsewhere is that when making payments there are insurance and/or warranty riders on these contracts when John Deere is providing the financing. They do this because they want the equipment repaired in a manner that meets JD's engineering specs. On the flip side I have seen certified JD mechanics, at a dealership, break off something as simple as the BlueDef/urea tank on a tractor because they didn't know how to fix it, forcing the tractor to remain in the shop while parts were reordered. In return they lent a similar tractor out at no charge because hay was already on the ground and rain was coming. This works well when the dealership is literally 6 miles down the road...not so good when its 60 or 160.

This is a KDD '18 paper that I implemented for benchmarking my own graph classification models. The reasons for which I decided to implement this are as follows:

0. The paper had no publicly available implementation.

1. Reinforcement learning based formulation of graph classification.

2. Featureless setting.

3. Very different from current approaches (kernels, deep learning and spectral signatures).

4. The agent-based setting described in the paper can be used with other models used for traversing the graph.

As a random suggestion from someone who did manage to not get his children killed despite ADD... look into bullet journaling as an organizational system for parenting duties.

Heavy metals can't hurt you unless you ingest them. Proximity or handling doesn't hurt people. Radioactive materials, however, vomit particles everywhere in an untraceable way. Radioactivity cannot be removed from contaminated materials without transferring the radioactivity to something else. This is the key difference. Heavy metals can also be filtered from water and segregated from other substances, while radioactivity cannot.

F2P games unfortunately fall into the dichotomy where the target market is usually the people with the least amount of money to spend, but also with the least amount of willpower/experience to resist spending it. I'm glad that when I was growing up the closest thing I had to the microtransaction hell that is F2P were MMOs that I couldn't run, and all my games came on CDs.

Overdiagnosis is real -- being a developmental disorder, ADHD people present age-inappropriate behavior -- "you're too old for this." A lot of people simply grow out of it (although, the ADHD brain typically reaches maturity around the age of 35, so, it can take a while). But many people never grow out of it, so underdiagnosis of ADULT ADHD is real.

In most countries, however, underdiagnosis is the real issue in most countries. I'm in the Netherlands and I went to a school for special children and talked to half a dozen therapists over ten years, and not one of them even considered it, while it's one of the most common disabilities, and considered one of the easiest to treat. I went to my GP and she had no idea about it, I basically had to explain the diagnostic criteria to her myself. It's possible I've just been really unlucky with the last 10 professionals I went to, but I think it's representative of the attitude in Europe -- especially the farther you go south and east.

Democracy does not mean "government listens to people". Every sane government, democratic or not, does listen to people to some extent. Democracy involves particular set procedures - like voting in candidates, referendums - through which the people do get to express their opinion, and which make that opinion binding. The government can't refuse to follow it, lest it loses legitimacy. There's nothing like that in a typical company or corporation.
Does this _really_ seem like an odd line to draw?

Like, even a multibillion dollar corporation like google, if it wanted to arrest me, it would seek the help of a government. Governments have the police and guns and stuff.

I understand corporations can influence and share information with governments, but, obviously they are different. Obviously tons of people feel considerably more unconformable with their or another government knowing things than Google.

And to be clear - I don't personally trust either of them at all. Google has shown themselves to be willing to help attempt to erase history in China and I'm sure would be all the more willing to do the same in my USA.
Sounds like a hell of a lot of work for the judiciary to sort through the morass created by never acknowledging or dealing with increasing anachronistic cruft created by "pass it once" legislation. To the point a citizen sans law degree (or to a point with one) doesn't necessarily know where they stand.

Laws are, and should be treated as maintenance items. If you can't be bothered to have a token yes vote, it doesn't belong on the books.

If nothing else, it also keeps the culture intact, and gives a more realistic rendering of your long term representatives voting proclivities and priorities. It forces politicians to take a position, and live up to it instead of taking refuge in building their career around niche special interests.

I acknowledge there are good points being made, and that yes, there has to be a willingness to change the way we approach the legislative process. I still believe it would not be as problematic as people think.

There's second and third order incentives created to have better discipline with regards to the structuring of legislation in order to facilitate easy processing by those bound by it, and those charged with reaffirming.

This manifests as a disincentive to create rider networks on unrelated bills, the ability to structure congressional committees around bundles of related subject matter (a procedure that currently works), and it allows the new voter to at least have their voice heard, and vote counted in regards to fundamental issues of the laws they are bound by. This takes it from something other people forced on you, to something you voted for. This would greatly increase the closeness of the voter to their government. Should dramatic upset happen, it represents a signal that a cultural consensus needs to be arrived at.

I doubt that the vast majority of people are so deluded to not be able to agree on the basics on a regular basis. I do, however, think that there may be a preference for less mainstream political movement in the absence of a requirement to agree on the fundamentals with regularity. Polarization becomes much more difficult when we're forced to come to a compromise to preserve what is truly important.

And what is truly important is that which can be passed no questions asked.

Deadlock is the gift of the Founders, but getting something done, even if it was a foregone conclusion, goes a long way to maintaining faith in the system.

And guess what? In X so many years, if the legislative process doesn't pan out...just let it drop, and go back to what worked.

Nothing even structurally changes. It's just default bill behavior that does.
ahh, so this only applies to the 'eval' function, and not just any functions it seems.
Why wouldn't you use it more times than that? They last years. That's ~2 years of weekly grocery trips. And each usage is going to replace 2-3 of the smaller, weaker plastic bags, maybe more.

This is a HUGE problem.

Core Data actually supports multiple backends and SQLite is only one of them (probably most popular though).
It would overlap with a lot of what you are already paying. It completely overlaps with social security and partially overlaps with the taxes that goes to social welfare.

For the rest of your tax money, there are concrete places that those are going to and if you don't like them, we can altogether as a society do something about it. And guess what, with UBI people will have a lot more time and freedom to spend on actually participating in politics.

Sure, in the end it might bumps it up from 1/3 to 1/2 maybe, but you are getting a lot of that back anyway as UBI to yourself. Even at 1/2 I don't think its unfair.
Oh, they bother everybody much, trust me. Daily, somebody whines about how bad Signal experience is.

UBI is a social security measure, not a way of maintaining a fair society. If one's job is automated, they get pushed to the lowest class of the society. UBI just guarantees that their life will be a bit less miserable.

For news I go to a small set of specific sites combined with links from an number of social media sites like Reddit and HN for wider coverage.

I think it's very different than comparison shopping - for news what someone you trust considers important and what communities you care about matters.

I usually only look at Google if I want to dive into more sources about a specific news item, which is fairly rare, and usually indicates I have reason to mistrust that something is covered properly by my usual sources, or if it's something that for other reasons will not be covered by my usual sources (e.g. let's say some local news item in a location where I don't know what the trusted local media is).

For comparison shopping on the other hand, I want to find who can sell me something cheapest - if your site shows up in Google, then I don't have a reason to go to you directly vs. going to Google and getting others too.
I mean, it's like the people automated toll booths displaced. I'm sure sitting in a small box all day doing a menial task is not good for you, yet people still lament when those "jobs" go away.

I'm pretty skeptical about complaints about when judges "interpret" the law. No law coverall the circumstances or outcomes that may happen in life or absurdities that could come from it.

I'm also skeptical about those complaints as they typically just are translated "this should be read strictly because the outcome is what I want".

> We have the research now, but people aren't changing their behavior.

They are. Clean energy mandates are being passed in many states; climate change and the Green New Deal is a front and center topic in the Democratic presidential primary race; the Paris Climate Agreement passed on a global scale; China is electrifying transportation and building as much solar, wind, and nuclear as fast a possible; India is phasing out coal as fast a possible; and on and on.

A person as an individual isn't changing their behavior to a large extent, but people in aggregate are.

> And that is what causes climate change.

No, it's not. Again, climate change is caused by injecting sequestered carbon into the carbon cycle. Previously, it just so happened that the act of driving your SUV around did exactly that. However, more and more that's not true. As we electrify transportation and clean the grid, the act of driving around becomes less and less what causes climate change.

> We don't have time to develop all that technology

We already have the technology, it's just a matter of deploying it. Every auto manufacturer is releasing major electric models by next year. Clean energy generation in the U.S. is set to surpass coal generation this year. China is electrifying transportation and switching to clean energy (including nuclear) as fast as possible. India is building more solar than ever and accelerating that deployment.

As I'm sure you've seen, my favorite climate change joke is, "They say we won't act until it's too late... Luckily, it's too late!"

Climate change is my generation's great challenge. If we lose, we die. So, many of us are fighting with everything we have. Some are trying to get people to change behavior, some are trying to make drop-in replacements. But none of us are giving up. It sounds like you've already given up.

So right now the yield curve is inverted. This means the demand for medium term government bonds is high, so their interest rate is low (lower than short term).

https://www.gurufocus.com/yield_curve.php

Historically this means a recession is coming. The reason is that investors are thinking that other investment options are not good, so they are parking their money in safe bonds.

Anyway, this is good for government dept I guess.

Government dept is held mostly in short term, so the percentage of government spending used to service dept is very quickly tied to interest rates. Things can go bad fast if interest rates go up.
If you are implementing a compiler you do what makes most sense for the target language/machine. On the other hand, if you specify exactly how each ill-defined operation should be handled you

1. restrict the freedom of compiler writers. On very small systems, for instance, array bound checking may not be implemented,

2. make programmer rely on non-obvious behaviour/results which makes programs harder to understand and maintain,

3. make the language specification more complicated.

So hundreds of thousands of app developers are conspiring to keep app prices low? That would involve coordination which is essentially impossible for the numbers of app developers. The developer of Tiny Wings isn’t calling Rockstar Games to agree on prices. Without such coordination, there isn’t any “dumping.” Standard Oil was a sole supplier, while the App Store has thousands of suppliers who all set their prices based on what the market supports. A dumping argument in this case makes no sense since Apple does not set app prices.
