Yeah it's great. Although I love the automated approach of fixed intervals in which you ideally focus on being productive. With scheduled breaks inbetween. I find this takes the friction out of starting that first pomodoro as you have the system already in place.

Note that this is "lifestyle consumption emissions" not total emissions.

> Emissions associated with consumption by governments, capital and international transport are therefore excluded. The proportion of total consumption emissions attributed to the lifestyle consumption of individuals varies by country, but globally accounts for around 64% of the total.

> Oxfam’s estimates should only be considered indicative of the orders of magnitude, but also as conservative...

The report then goes on to say that women are hit harder by climate change than men and rails against "carbon baron billionaires" (the increase of which seems to be due to economic growth, not petroleum companies growing faster than the rest of the economy).

The effect this report had on me was to erode my trust in Oxfam.

> By overcharging, the US may well cause the UK to balk.

I think you're severely underestimating the level of coordination that has gone into this.

The current government of the UK will do what the US wants.
> I do not believe we have enough control over our government.

And that's probably something that needs to be argued in front of the Supreme Court. It is vital in a democracy that a government can be held accountable. The government should not have a carte blanche to break the law in secret. There has to be some way to address this, and at the moment there clearly isn't.

Manning, Assange and Snowden provided a public service to the American public by showing them what their government was doing.

This is not a good understanding of Extradition. Extradition before the age of the internet involved identifying people who had in the past committed a crime in a certain jurisdiction and transporting them back there to face justice. So for example, I murder someone, I flee to the UK, the USA asks the UK to extradite me back. Or indeed JA (allegedly) rapes someone, flees to the UK, Sweden asks for extradition.

What's at question here is: Given Assange was never in the US, how has he committed a crime in the US and the answer is that the US has a funny idea jurisdiction.

It will never mean a thing and will never change until those in leadership positions in corporations suffer criminal penalties for lack of oversight and protection of data.

Unfortunately, the federal government has no appetite for holding corporations criminally responsible for actions in this day and age. The belief in too big to fail and campaign donations are monumentally hard to overcome.
"... Therefore while Oxfam’s estimates strictly relate to the shares of total global emissions associated with individual consumption, they are also sound proxies for the shares of all global emissions."
> ... but where he was charged with rape.

This statement is not accurate. There were not, and are not, any charges in Sweden against Assange. There is only an investigation.
Then probably the whole US population is at fault
It's still not great. Linux native caching keeps fighting with the ZFS cache and it's not quite as freeable as native cache. If you try to launch some applications that allocates big chunks of memory quickly, it may fail due to ZFS not freeing its memory fast enough. I had this issue before limiting the max ZFS cache size. If ZFS could integrate the caching better with Linux it would be perfect to me.
This is the typical programmer misunderstanding of law.

In countries whose legal system is based on that of England (including most of the US), ambiguity is a design goal of statutes, not something meant to be eliminated. Statutes are supposed to be specified in broad strokes and then have the details hashed out by intelligent judges to work in particular circumstances that the legislators didn't envision.

And "the law" is not just statutes. Statutes are one small part of the law. Most of the law is the tradition of judicial interpretation of those statutes.
Of course fire prevention measures can and should be taken in old buildings. Installing unobtrusive systems with the goal of protecting an authentic structure is routine, as is finding any and all possible ways of mitigating fire hazards without changing the character of the building.

This is a totally separate issue from the bizarre hylomorphic idea of replacing limestone and marble with granite(?!) and porcelain.

Here's an example of unseen functional reinforcement of an historic roof with a modern steel truss: https://www.julianharraparchitects.co.uk/st-annes-limehouse. This is a case of pragmatism and economy. It's a long way from completely replacing the roof structure with a modern solution.

The idea that is going around of rebuilding the roof of Notre Dame with diamond/Kryptonite/carbon fiber as a way of trumpeting how advanced we are is annoying. The consensus these days about restoration is that it should be about making humble, minimally invasive, economical changes. Just put things back in order. Put in a sprinkler system. This is not an occasion for making a tacky gesture that will only reveal how mediocre 21st C architecture is in comparison to medieval Gothic.

That's what the government that handed Assange over, and which is now cooperating with his persecutors, claimed - without any evidence, of course. That government also happens to be pursuing friendly relations with the United States, and also just happened to receive a large IMF loan, not that those things could possibly be related to the decision to revoke Assange's asylum.

Political asylum is not normally revoked because someone is a bad house guest, and one former embassy employee has gone on the record stating that the new Ecuadorian government did its best to make Assange's life in the embassy living hell, and that he was actually a courteous guest. It is in the interest of the Ecuadorian government to defame Assange and to make excuses for their sudden cooperation with American authorities.
Cargo can work offline. It’s a requirement of the Firefox and Debian build systems, for example.

You can also use rustc without cargo if you really want, but Cargo is really good, so I don’t particularly recommend it.
How many people go to the UK to escape the US? This is a very strange argument.

I mean, that's pretty nuts to sign up for in the first place as a commercial office lease. Unless you're in an incredibly hot area and really have no choice operationally but to acquire office space in a class A tower in a major downtown. In commercial telecom leases a common escalator is to peg things to the consumer price index, or 2.5 percent.

We. Unless you are a extreme outlier here. The top 1% globally make 32k USD a year and up. I'd assume the vast majority if not all of the people reading this are in the top 10%.
Well, presumably most people reading this think of this niche tech forum as their own community. And looking at the opinions of the most prolific members of that community is likely a good way to get an idea of the opinions held there in general
I think it's extremely unlikely that Sweden would extradite him to the US. The UK is far more likely to do that. In Sweden, however, he runs the risk of getting imprisoned for rape.
How useful are these discussions? In the end, boats still prefers prefix and others still prefer postfix. This is pretty fake discussion. Everyone already has a position and pretend to be open to discussion.

Legal question: if Charlie steals classified files and gives them to Ann, and then Bob gives Charlie $1M (no known connection between Bob and Charlie), can Bob be prosecuted for post-facto "encouraging sources to (i) circumvent legal safeguards on information; (ii) provide that protected information to Ann for public dissemination; and (iii) continuing the pattern of illegally procuring and providing protected information to Ann for distribution to the public"?
Encrypting your own information, or providing information is clearly not the same as "here's how to hack someone's computer" (again blunt example but it is the gist of the difference).
The amount of light per area at the sensor is directly proportional to the area of the aperture and inversely proportional to the focal length. That's why we use the f-number, which is a ratio of focal length to aperture diameter.

Please note that the f-number doesn't indicate total light hitting the sensor. It indicates total light per unit area at the sensor. Thus, for the same f-number, a larger sensor will gather more light.

All of this info can be found in the wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-number
Somehow I get the feeling that building software is easier than changing laws around here
Wow, I'm trying to decide if it's oppressive or sci-fi (on the inside): maybe a little of both.
Exactly right. I can give you a perfect example from a project I'm working on: http://openinsulin.org/

We're working to make medicine more affordable, focusing on insulin in particular. Insulin has been around for decades, it's easy to make. Technology has been improving, things should be getting cheaper. Instead, insulin continues to rise [1]. People with diabetes need this stuff, if they don't have it they'll literally drop dead.

The left wing "solution" to this problem is to force taxpayers to subsidize it, and perhaps impose price controls. The right wing "solution" is to puke some cookie cutter line about the "free market" and America's incredible "innovation" in drug development, exposing his skin-deep understanding of what those terms mean. (Later, he'll throw a fit about how so many millenials want socialized medicine).

So our startup idea is to create cheap small-scale insulin production hardware, except the second we try to pay back investors and become "for profit", we get regulated like any other drug manufacturer. That means we need to hire an army of lawyers, go through a multi-year multi-million dollar FDA approval process for all the production equipment etc., and open ourselves to patent lawsuits and other weapons of corporate thuggery that the big-time drug companies are so willing to wield.

If we manage to make it through that gauntlet of fuckery, god knows if we'll actually be able to sell it for any cheaper than the status quo. I'm open to being told I'm wrong about this problem, but from my understanding there's simply no way to solve this problem without massive regulatory reform.

It's obvious that EV does nothing for end users these days, which is why I think these "EVs are useless" articles from Troy and others are kind of silly, like dunking over a person with two broken legs.

I think the far more interesting question is why EV certs do nothing for end users, and why browser makers have not introduced any new features to replace what EV certs were intended to do: help end users understand which websites they can trust on first visit.

The entire Internet industry has absolutely punted on this problem. It's a hard problem, but no one is trying to solve it!

And it is absolutely striking to compare against how well this problem has been solved in real life, at least in the U.S. You can walk into any retail establishment in the nation and reasonably expect to have a safe, productive interaction with a proprietor you don't know--even on the first visit.

It's the exact opposite on the Internet, and it's insane that everyone just accepts that.
Some politicians in one US party do agree it's worth the costs. A few are even running for president.

Do you really expect I mentioned this example, mentioned I wrote some code that solves this issue, and still never looked up or came across an explanation of why most programming languages behave this way?

> If you are ever calling == on floating point numbers, you are doing something seriously wrong.

Not sure if the 'you' is actually directed to me or if it could be replaced with 'one', but since I mention that it would be nice to do so, I guess I should feel addressed. Thanks for saying I'm doing things seriously wrong, that really helps.

Your comment completely steers any further comments down this thread towards explaining to me why floating point addition is fast but imprecise, rather than what I mentioned that I am actually wondering about: is it that much slower to do arbitrarily large integers by default (separate from the decimal issue), and secondarily solve the decimal issue at the same time (given the example I mention of the method that solves it, at least for addition, in roughly O(2))?

But those are not things that Sweden would extradite him for. They'd lock him up for rape, yes, but not extradite him to the US.
He found himself stuck in the UK, and didn't want to go to Sweden, which has a habit of allowing the CIA to kidnap people.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repatriation_of_Ahmed_Agiza_an...

I'm sure he'd prefer to leave the UK too if he could, but between Sweden and the UK, when facing this amount of scrutiny from the US, the UK is his obvious choice since they don't allow extraordinary rendition starting from their soil.
Are the startups listed actually fixing these problems, though? You say that Promise, for example, is attacking mass incarceration — but it's basically just a dashboard for lawyers. Maybe lawyers could be more efficient, but that's a way easier problem to solve than radically changing our justice system so that fewer people get pulled into it in the first place.

What's worse, given that Promise appears to be a for-profit company and you're investing in it to make money, you now have a financially incentive against fixing the systemic issue. It's better for you if the justice system is bigger and less efficient, because you'll make more money selling us a band-aid.

So count me in with the GP and Andrew Yang: it's not that the problems seem too hard for startups to tackle, but because they are fundamentally not problems that the free market rewards solving. YC mostly funds profit-seeking companies. That's okay! But I am skeptical that there is profit to be made in e.g. dismantling the justice system.
It really is a fucked up world we live in, where a whistle-blower exposing Western governments for acting illegally is arrested and the persons who were spying on people have little to no consequences. I hope these charges get dropped, he has done and continues to do a great service to the world. The West got caught with their trousers down and they just need to deal with it. If you don't like get caught, stop acting in bad faith against the people.

I think Assange's self-imprisonment should also be considered in any punishment, there's no doubt that it took a toll on his mental and physical well-being.
He only just now got out of the embassy.

The claim, all along, was that as soon as he is out of the embassy that the US will bring out their espionage charges.

And he just got out of the embassy,and guess what happened? He recieved espionage charges. Exactly as predicted.

The reason why is because there is no training data of the sort you describe out there.

By using MVS-based approaches, they are able to get over the data hurdle by compiling a dataset of your average YouTube video, instead of creating 3D renderings that include dynamic people. Importantly, MVS is really quite accurate, and in many cases can be considered ground truth.

Being able to forgo 3D renderings to use video only is almost certainly a reason why their results are so good.
The HIG is utter garbage, objectively wrong on many topics and Apple never even follows every aspect of it themselves.

Here's all the desktop UI research you need to know: Apple has the worst UI of any desktop OS by far. It's full of undiscoverable functionality, icon-only buttons that you have to click first to find out what they do and lacking many features for basic things like window management... But it certainly is hilarious watching people operate it, swiping furiously to find that full-screen app that they lost because there's no real maximize button and the dock is now hidden or having to use the mouse pointer to do just every operation because the keyboard acceleration sucks.

Their mobile OS UI is very similarly meh, lacking options, hiding things and so-forth...the only thing really good about it is that it's more stable than Android.

And actually your own ignorance has been displayed here. There's nothing about the alleged superiority of one-button mice in the HIG. Look it up.
If you make more than $25k USD you are in that top 10%. This shows just how unsustainable our lifestyles have become and how in need of de-growth we are. But how do you make people step back from owning cars, taking flights, or eating imported food? People are not going to do so willingly, and our infrastructure in many countries was built in such a wasteful spread-out way that we will have to burn even more fuel to reinvent it.
This has been happening since at least the late 90's when I started to get involved in open source.

Heck, I've sponsored a number of projects back then as a teenager with a fledgling Internet business - with the express purpose of advertising to highly technical users I wanted to potentially sell to.

I'm not sure if it was terribly effective at sales marketing, but it was highly effective at marketing towards the types of employees I wanted to work with. I see sponsoring open source projects as more of a recruitment thing than sales thing these days.
