Use of disposable plastics is actually _accelerating_ as China develops. The most developed cities are the ones where the most plastics get thrown away.

In Shanghai, for instance, almost everything is delivered. Meals, products, groceries. Every single item is wrapped in layers and layers of disposable plastics. You buy a coconut, it’s wrapped in styrofoam, then wrapped in plastic. This all ends up in the ocean.

A billion plastic bags are thrown away every day in China. This has nothing to do with lack of development, and nothing to do with importing recyclables. It is lack of education, disregard for the environment, and poor government policy wrt recycling and waste reduction.

Non-techies that are my age don't get the value of let's plays.

When I was a kid, it was NES and then Sega. You'd go over to your friend's house and would take turns playing Mario, Ninja Gaiden, Contra, etc.

When you weren't playing, you were watching your friend play. Sure, some games were multi-player, but not all of them.

Let's plays capture that same feeling of watching your friend play the game.

Highly recommend reading Stratchery's take on this: https://stratechery.com/2019/disney-and-the-future-of-tv/
You can use the concept of criticality to revise and revive the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis.

In the blunt form: language limits what we can say; Sapir-Whorf runs contrary to every-day experience. Sure, if ones native language contains le mos juste, it is easy to speak ones mind. But if not, the burden is not great. One must speak at greater length, using more words, and forming the intersections and unions of their meanings, to obtain the exact nuance that you intend. This is the routine craftsmanship of every wordsmith.

Early in the essay Kevin Simler posses a challenge "Here's an SIS network to play around with. Can you find its critical threshold?" What is most interesting is not the numerical value, lets just call it x. What is most interesting is that it is fairly sharply defined. If two idea are both fairly hard to transmit, and hence both close to x, we could easily have a situation in which the burden imposed by a missing mos juste makes all the difference. One idea has a transmissibility just above x and becomes an established staple of the culture. The other idea has a transmissibility just below x so it crops up from time to time but always dies out.

One looks around, admiring the cultural landscape. One idea is present, one absent. Why? Language! While it is wrong to claim that "a person's native language determines how he or she thinks", we have to take account of network criticality.

The much weakened Whorf-style claim that "a person's native language burdens their communications with trivial inconveniences" is plausible and unimportant at the individual level. But we may never-the-less find that "a social network's native language determines which thoughts die out and which ones take over most of the network."

Compare and contrast with Beware Trivial Inconveniences https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/reitXJgJXFzKpdKyd/beware-tri..., which claims that trivial inconviences have real world potency without needing the leverage provided by network effects.
SQL itself is a leaky abstraction. You're essentially hacking a sql expression and permuting it in different ways so it executes a specific imperative search algorithm.

AN ORM is like a backwards abstraction. SQL abstracts imperative instructions into an expression. An ORM abstracts a SQL expression into imperative object oriented instructions. I get the reasoning though. It's to keep the developer from having to write foreign code within code.

Sometimes, the ORM abstraction just isn't expressive enough. So I have this idea for an ERM. Expression relational mapper. Basically it compiles an expression based language into ORM methods. So like "SELECT * FROM TABLE" becomes table.all().
I spent part of my childhood in a similar place in far northern BC. The north-south orientation of the valley we were in prevented much winter sun from hitting the town. On top of that, there was an asbestos mine nearby and sometimes when they were blasting up at the mine site, dust would settle on the town. Once the mine closed, the town was basically erased and everyone left.
Don’t go this route. If you don’t have a network, team up with local agencies looking for contractors and do staff aug with them to get your name out there.
Branding. With the Fox deal, Disney now owns multiple
Networks (FX, FXX,etc), a ton of studios that make content, and huge back catalogs of content that is all super popular and valuable but is not aligned with the traditional Disney brand. Think: The Simpsons, Family Guy, The American Horror story series, etc.
I got a chance to check out some of the cabs in the big machines.

So now the ageism bar gets down a little bit lower, a few people that shouldn't, start having problems.

But this has been going on for a long time in this industry, in particular, and not much was done and only a little said.

> USPS continues to bleed money but that's due to the mandate from Congress about pre-funding pensions. That's a requirement that nobody else has[.]

This is misinformation that unfortunately has become quite widely spread.

Private employers generally are required to pre-fund their pension obligations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Employee_Retirement_Income_Sec.... FedEx and UPS both have around a 90% funded pension fund: https://www.investmentnews.com/article/20180509/FREE/1805099... https://www.pionline.com/article/20190221/ONLINE/190229950/u....

What the 2006 postal reform legislation did is require the USPS to pre-fund its retiree health benefits as well. While it's technically true that private employers don't have that same requirement, that is only because their employees are eligible for Medicare. Like other private employers, FedEx and UPS, and their employees, pay the employer/employee Medicare taxes. Postal employees, by contrast, do not pay into Medicare and are not eligible for Medicare benefits.

There is some crazy idea out there that Congress somehow required the USPS to fund its employee health benefits to make government services look bad. That is complete nonsense. When the reforms were enacted, the postal service had a $75 billion unfunded liability for health benefits: https://taxfoundation.org/primer-postal-service-retiree-heal.... Congress saw the impending disaster, and (pretty much unanimously) voted to impose the funding requirement.
In the context of this discussion, I read it as more of an argument that requiring a cleanup cost bond or some mandatory specialist insurance before mining operations can begin is a better solution than removing unlimited liability.
I only have anecdotal evidence, but for myself and those in my office we've switched over to really any BenQ with low blue light (or eye-care monitors).

They are super cheap, decent enough quality, and so far everyone has reported less eye-strain.

Also switching to a dark UI wherever possible has been a huge boon for my eyes.

My personal preference is for Honda as well, but when you sit down in the drivers seat and survey what is in front of you in a Honda or a Toyota, you'll find they have more or less the same things. Perhaps Hondas being set up to be more agreeable to "car guys" is similar to the CLI of Hg not being so obtuse, but both are still nevertheless capable of more or less the same feats. They'll both see you through your commute and either is a bad choice for off-roading.
This is why Disney started the Touchstone Pictures label in the 1980s, so it would hardly be unprecedented for the company to maintain separate streaming brands for family and mature content.
They probably want to convert iPhone users to Android and are willing to pay for it. Galaxy S7 was released a year and a half after iPhone 6 and only has a trade in value of $75. It looks like market prices are similar for both at around $100 used.

100% Renewable Energy
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100%25_renewable_energy

> The main barriers to the widespread implementation of large-scale renewable energy and low-carbon energy strategies are political rather than technological. According to the 2013 Post Carbon Pathways report, which reviewed many international studies, the key roadblocks are: climate change denial, the fossil fuels lobby, political inaction, unsustainable energy consumption, outdated energy infrastructure, and financial constraints.

We need to make the external costs of energy production internal in order to create incentives to prevent these fossil fuel deaths and other costs.

Should I point out the obvious that you aren't friends with the youtuber doing the Let's Play? You can't form a real two-way bond with one another, and that is the foundation of friendship. Real friendship could bloom in many other ways and you guys could go get a pizza, go climb Everest, help them work on their car, etc.

In a nutshell, that describes my fears and reservations about the way the current age is going. It's all watching and commenting and not enough back and forth interaction and doing.

The end of WW2 saw the Americans and Soviets rushing to take over Germany so we could acquire as much Nazi tech and scientists as possible. Our ICBMs technology was based upon this Nazi technology, and now SpaceX and NASA tech is based upon that as well. While the origins of it are based upon a destructive goal, they have enabled the Mars rovers, Moon landing, Hubble telescope, etc. Technology should be evaluated on its own merits and not its origins.

Then the issue is yours, and not the search engines, for not going directly to your trustworthy sources to answer questions that you only trust be answered correctly by those sources.

Search engines have become so central to daily life that people forget they are just products offering a service. If they occasionally anticipate your needs, it doesn't mean they always should, especially when you're objective as a user is to reinforce your own political echo chamber.

Easier to just restrict limited liability to enterprises that operate as worker cooperatives or commons trusts. If investors want to limit their liability, that should mean giving other stakeholders the defining voice in corporate governance.
It is easier to control, and it's cheaper if you don't want all of it. That's the whole point of a-la-carte. Not that it will be cheaper than a bundle if you wanted a bundle in the first place. But that you can pay for what you want. At some sub-bundle size (90%? 80%? 50%?), you'll pay less money. You'll direct your dollars towards services you actually value, rather than whatever sports entertainment commentary complex strong-armed the cable companies the most aggressively.
Thats a little too much to ask, perhaps if they were grep'able I could have obliged, unfortunately I dont have a photographic memory.

More concretely its just another name for conditional expectation. I am assuming you are aware that conditional expectation is a random variable obtained via conditioning (equivalently as a piecewise approximation in L_2). If you arent familiar with that view point that would be the place to start. Kolmogorov, Neveu, Dudely, Billingsley will all cover that view point.
Given all of the data presented here is true, does this change the current conclusion that there are less deaths per TWh for nuclear? Or would the inclusion of the increased cancer rates tip the scales?
Disney Plus will be an add on to Hulu. It will have only the stuff a lot of people see as premium.

Look at Netflix. There’s no way to tell where any particular show fits without looking into it. Netflix needs some kind of sub branding to slit out the different niches of shows. Disney is going to get that out of the gate. And they will let just subxniches of people subscribe to just the part they want.

I don't quite understand how this relates to ageism. I simply view it as a skill that can be developed by anyone with practice.
Exactly. All the plastic shit made in China can end up back in China.
For sure it is. In fact, it's as good as it's ever been.

One caveat though...you gotta know your shit. The days of babysitting websites and charging fairly outrageous fees are mostly over, and good riddance.

I've found that true LAMP or MEAN-full stack dev is really in demand now...so much so that I recently raised my hourly to a once-only-dreamed-about $100/hr US on Upwork, and I'm getting more interest in my services by the day.

Sometimes I actually have to pinch myself to believe this work environment is real...I often tell my friends, as sincerely as possible and with true humility, that I work in an absolute dream world that, up to now, only Rock Stars inhabited.

I mean...who else gets to work their own hours?...do whatever I really want while working?...travel the country/hemisphere on a whim?...goto music festivals and get paid while doing so?...live on the beach one month and on a mountain top another?

Well..I do. And man, am I grateful.
Not to detract from your point since gasoline is amazingly useful, but there's a gap between energy density and usable energy density. An Otto cycle has a maximum theoretical efficiency of up to 61%, but in practice, friction and powering auxiliary system result in closer to 35% efficiency for a gasoline engine. VERY rough spitballing not to be cited: ~4500 usable Wh/kg.

Permanent magnet motors achieve upwards of 92% efficiency under optimal load, from the numbers I can find with quick googling.
So I'm unfortunately unable to access that paper - well, without paying $32 which is a bit steep - but does it have anything on the difference between people who transitioned and ones who did not? That's what matters after all, not the base rates. (Base rates being high tells us we really need to find a treatment, but it doesn't tell us what that treatment might be)
Questioning one's credulity without any factual basis to discredit the argument at hand is a form of ad hominem attack. I've noticed these are common when the topic of nukes comes up. Everyone who disputes any industry claim is labeled an idiot, a whacko, etc. Not a great debate technique, IMHO.
Oh yeah, and our kids don't really need all these plastic toys we buy them. Maybe it wouldn't be a terrible thing for them to have to go outside and play like we did?

> Why can't I drag a commit or set of commits from one branch to another?

GitKraken might be for you, there is a nice drag-and-drop feature demonstration at https://www.gitkraken.com/git-client.

I don't think you can drag commits because a commit itself is a snapshot that describes changes to a branch so it is the branch itself that can be merged, rebased, pushed, etc. by drag-and-drop.
Walmart is the reason vast numbers of people can no longer buy anything good locally. They were killing local stores before Amazon was.

I'm rooting for their death, as I have since I first heard about them in the mid 90s, pushing out local music retailers so they can sell the censored, watered-down crap they strongarmed labels into producing.

Never spent a penny there, never will.
You are correct about the cost of storage. However that is not the cost of storing these videos. When you set up a server you just buy a hard disk and some other hardware correct. But Youtube also has to buy staff to maintain, update and services and networks, offices for them, legal stuff, free food, insurance, electricity and every other thing a huge business needs of course.

Google after 2007 has been about doing things that make business sense. Just storing these videos is a cost. It's why there's been a glacial pace in new features, APIs and support in youtube for over a decade - it's not a financial priority.
