If I tell you that I give you a billion dollar to quit your job, and find a solution to this, you will try to do so. Not knowing what to do is something that happens all the time in life: we try anyway. Stopping at "I don't know what to do" is just the first clue that you can see a cost and not a reward sufficient to dig and try.

I'm not taking a moral stand here. I don't think anybody not doing anything is a bad person. But let's not pretend ignorance and inability. We don't even try. Reading HN is much more comfortable, besides life has many challenges already.

People used to access printed materials largely because, well, there was no other choice. Today digital is the native medium of authoring and creation. Sharing, copying, and indexing come “for free” where historically those were high-cost.
It took me several years of exposure to see the point of the internet. I had been running my own BBSes for quite a while by then.

We already had email more or less, at least in ways that mattered. And the experience was non-commercial and personal, with operators putting a lot of time and effort into their quirky online worlds.

Some of it's still around if you go look for it, but I can't shake the feeling that we lost something worth keeping.
Things like this are always interesting to me.

It's interesting that people who were subject to this sort of treatment created the constitution limiting the US govt.

It's interesting that people who aren't subject to this sort of treatment are trying to change the constitution and give the govt more power.

It's interesting to me that democide is the number 1 cause of death in the 20th century and everyone ignores that fact.

Its also interesting to me that the internet allows people to communicate and learn how much all govts lie.

Change is coming as govts try to control the internet and the communication people have with each other.

The 400 PPM is a target that is easy for humans to discuss. The general idea that increased atmospheric CO2 leads to accelerated methane releases due to thawing of arctic permafrost still holds true, and humans need to set CO2 targets to mitigate this issue.

Carbon tax is just money. More money doesn't solve global warming. In fact I would say money is the reason we have global warming in the first place.

"My big picture view of this is that broad access to the facts is empowering to everyone who can get it. The broadening of that power base to include more people comes at the expense of the oligarchs of the world, who are always going to be able to reap power, wealth, and benefits from keeping everybody else in the dark."

This is a very interesting quote to me because it's the type of quote that "the oligarchy" uses to label those like Alex Jones wing nut conspiracy theorists.
You can absolutely just run a recursive resolver on your laptop use that resolver in every[+] network. There is literally nothing special about a recursive resolver except it doing some legwork that a stub resolver / filter resolver (like glibc or dnsmasq) doesn't do.

If you run e.g. Linux or BSD, you'd just install knot-resolver, enable the service and put "127.0.0.1" in your /etc/resolv.conf. That's it.

Similarly if you run something like pihole it is very easy to have it run a recursive resolver as well, I bet pihole has a page on how to set that up, and I doubt it is hard in any way.

If, of course, all you have now is a router provided by your ISP and you want to run your own intranet DNS resolver, then, yeah, you'll probably need some hardware for that. Obviously.

Let's also look at greenhouse gases in general:

"According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the largest sources of U.S. GHG emissions in 2016 were electricity production (28 percent of total emissions), transportation (28 percent) and industry (22 percent). All of agriculture accounted for a total of 9 percent. All of animal agriculture contributes less than half of this amount, representing 3.9 percent of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. That’s very different from claiming livestock represents as much or more than transportation." [0]

Global direct greenhouse gas emissions from transportation versus livestock represent 14 versus 5 percent respectively. [1]

Also consider: "According to the FAO, as much as 70 percent of all agricultural land globally is range land that can only be utilized as grazing land for ruminant livestock." [1]

The wonderfully mad thing about UK politics is that the socialists are very much against the EU and for leaving, but their nominally socialist party, the Labour Party, is Remainer while their leader is a capitulating Brexiter, and grassroots conservatives are Brexiters while the Conservative Party is significantly Remainer with a (now ex) Remainer primeminister and remainer Chancellor of the Exchequor.

What makes a lot more sense it that while the ideological Economist Magazine and academic economists are Remainer (of the same 125 who jointly wrote to Thatcher telling her how wrong she was in 1982; that didn't turn out so well, haha!), Money Week (which is only interested in making money) and the capitalist pundits at the Daily Telegraph are essentially Brexiters.

If it's all a mess, why not pick a build system that lets you compose a dependency DAG correctly?

Not that the problems in the paper here are not specific to make. They describe deficiencies in a certain kind of mathematical model. It is possible (and common) to have the same problems in a non-make build system. Make is not special in this regard, just popular.

The soy/phytoestrogen scare is not scientific/fact-based.

https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/soy/

> Results of recent population studies suggest that soy has either a beneficial or neutral effect on various health conditions. Soy is a nutrient-dense source of protein that can safely be consumed several times a week, and is likely to provide health benefits—especially when eaten as an alternative to red and processed meat.

By the way, the reason @jaxr is talking about eating lots of soy is not because we'd need to be heavily reliant on soy for protein if we gave up meat - there are lots of other protein sources, of course. They mentioned eating lots of soy because we currently feed something like 70+% of soy to livestock, so there'd be a lot of it "laying around" if livestock suddenly didn't exist. Of course, it wouldn't actually play out like that.
Companies don't pay taxes for fun, either. What I think that comment is referring to is the fact that corporations have a history of being really good at weaseling their way out of paying taxes, and the bigger companies are the best at it.

A carbon tax, in particular, looks like it would be very easy for a multinational to escape. It's reason #{xyz} to move your facility across the border and out of American jurisdiction.

If we can't get them to pay taxes already, won't a carbon tax simply be yet another tax which is disproportionately paid by small businesses and individuals, and not the actual biggest polluters, while driving more manufacturing jobs overseas to countries which don't have such laws?
Are they seriously counting Joe's car's CO2 as Exxon's responsibility? Can I ask for a reference/quote on that?
Yes. One can absolutely see things in a nuanced way, and acknowledge that there is much wrong in the USA, and quite a few things going right in China, but obviously political freedoms are in much better shape in the USA (and, say, Europe) than in China.

This identification of knowledge stocks and flows is key:

> business has “been organized around stocks of knowledge as the basis for value creation. The key to creating economic value has been to acquire some proprietary knowledge stocks, aggressively protect those knowledge stocks and then efficiently extract the economic value from those knowledge stocks and deliver them to the market. The challenge in a more rapidly changing world is that knowledge stocks depreciate at an accelerating rate. In this kind of world, the key source of economic value shifts from stocks to flows.

> “The companies that will create the most economic value in the future,” Hagel says, “will be the ones that find ways to participate more effectively in a broader range of more diverse knowledge flows that can refresh knowledge stocks at an accelerating rate.”
> First of all, communism and in general left-wing politics are viewed with a significant bias in the western world, even more in the US.

They are not being viewed more favorable in former East Block countries either. So what what is left there?

> While there have been many societies claiming to be socialist, none would actually qualify from a political theory perspective (it was something more akin to propaganda, e.g. look, we achieved socialism!).

Nonetheless those are the societies that are being cherished by the remaining fans of Socialism in the West. Especially in countries like Germany where there is a generation of kids who hear only the good things (everybody had a job!) about the DDR making it look like some kind of paradise (it actually was one in the East Block since everybody else was working to make the DDR look like one).

> Even then, it's worth noting that those societies developed in an environment of extreme hostility from other nations

Oh please. You can say that about every society. It depends on how much you reach backwards or how much you are ready to ignore.

Just like we see the growing ignorance of the evil that was fascism, there will come a time where a growing ignorance of state socialism will become mainstream and I'm afraid of that. I fled this madness once already and since the fans of state socialism today are not even ready to come up with new solutions to the issues this idealism had, there won't be new ideas later.
How? Chinese folk don't hang around western internet sites, if they can even access them and read English.

> with absolutely no fear of repercussions from the govt, credit agencies, etc.

As corporations grow more and more important (it's getting harder to do things without a credit card, for example), the government isn't the only important factor here. If the government outsources the punishment to corporations, what difference does it make that the government doesn't punish you for calling them incompetent but the corporations will terminate your accounts, cutting you off from much of modern society? You're getting cut off, because you said something.

When people talk about non-violent crimes, they are almost always talking about drug crimes.

But specifically about your question, serious financial crimes are violent. Violence on this case is done by proxy, but abusing the State's position of power to help you on a crime shouldn't clean your hands of the violence.

Higgs is absolutely a more familiar name than the others, and stain too, whether you think his contributions were proportional to that recognition or not
It's all just habit.

Don't overthink the methodology. The more you run from problems, the more likely you run from that problem next time. Whatever choice you pick when dealing with a problem is more likely to be the default choice next time.

The most common mistake is to not recognize the problem or escapism when it happens. Or rather, to see it but pretend it isn't there. That's really where all forms of therapy come in; they help you to admit the problem and stop avoiding it. After all, avoidance is a form of escapism.

There's a reason why we do this though. Most problems go away. And some problems get worse while you're tackling them. So like our addiction to sugars and fatty food, it's by design.

I wish I had your optimism. I'm almost certain that even a revenue-neutral bill would be presented as a tax increase in the right-wing media.

And, of course, even something that is revenue-neutral overall will have some winners and losers: SUV owners will pay more than those commuting with public transport. Poorly isolated single-family homes in the south relying on air conditioning through the summer will be more expensive compared to flats in northern brick houses, etc.
I think it's fair to count the number of missions (it's at least consistent across engine types), though I'd probably prefer to also see the number of engine-missions as well.

But in defense of counting the number of missions, each mission has similar "external" characteristics: ambient temperature, sunlight level, burn duration, wind shear, humidity, etc. A combination of these environmental characteristics could cause a failure (Challenger failure was caused by excess cold). Since the environmental characteristics are the same for the mission, the number of distinct missions an engine has performed is a decent proxy for robust performance throughout the space of environmental conditions.
The claim is a) that things have be put in relation to the size of the country, and b) that having less than 0.1% of the population in prison for relatively minor offences can't be that huge of a problem if that is the case in many countries, including the USA.

Pollution is an externality of the oil industry. Might be better if today's consumer paid for that at the pump rather than future generations dealing with it in the environment.

The artificially low price of oil due to postponing / offloading these external costs significantly slows free market innovation of alternatives and efficiencies.

So... what's the best way to pay for these negative externals so we don't simply pass the buck to our kids?

We don't have to throw executives in jail for addressing the market, we just need a more comprehensive (and truer) price (via taxes) applied to oil.
> that lets you compose a dependency DAG correctly

Gah, that's exactly the fallacy I mentioned above! That's not the requirement, as shown by decades of make's refusal to die. The requirement is that it work simply and easily for the simple tasks needed to get new projects built in their early days where their structure is changing rapidly.

Other stuff tends to force you into a world view, which is why we have separate build systems for Android apps, and Rust modules, and cross-platform C++ code, and Java projects, and Linux command line tools, and...

That said: I don't know what you're talking about here. Make does a perfectly general DAG via its routine and simple dependency syntax. Recursive make invocations do not, which is what the linked article about. But make works fine for arbitrary dependencies. Go build a kernel to see.
