Why was this downvoted? The point about the core vs the periphery is elided by media accounts of the US and China all the time. It's a crucial one.
Yes. Unfortunately, for you, it won't be easy to convince people to give up their high-end electronics, AC in the summer, and heating in the Winter, cheap vacation flights, etc. etc.

It is amazing to see how far people will go to deny the only solution to climate change - namely nuclear power.
Oh man, I relate to this feeling tremendously. I am a junior dev on an apprentice program (just shy of 1 years experience to date) and the times I have struggled with something because I let my pride, or fear of bothering people with inane questions, have been the lowest points in the last year. I always get to the otherside wishing I just talked to a senior dev - because more likely they could have saved me a stressful week.
The easiest way to reduce CO2 is to plant a forest, so look for companies that do this.

Let me take this opportunity to promote this awesome, free documentary by Jason Scott about BBSs. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBS:_The_Documentary. It’s on YouTube. I discovered it in 2005 but only watched it a few years ago. It’s so good. Looking forward to trying BBSs over Telnet.
Stealing stuff is OK because other people could also steal stuff?

I don’t think that’s a valid point.
I talked to a senior Huawei exec and he said that tappy is not a good example of IP theft. The tester literally attempted to walk out with the machine. You can't get any more sloppy then that.

Instead he said that the worker was really pressured by his bosses into delivering results.

That's not to say that there are broader problems with IP theft at Huawei though.

Build of a what of a which does what now? Why on earth do I care about that? (No, don't explain it to me. I know the answer. I just don't care.)

We're clearly talking past each other. You're still hung up over obscure minutiae that giant projects need to worry about, and you're convinced that if you just had a tool that handled all that minutiae and that if everyone used it that everything would be roses.

I'm saying:

1. Your minutiae isn't my minutiae. Your favorite tool sucks for, probably, most people. Tools designed to contorted sentences like the one I quoted tend to only work for one thing. That's how you get ant and cargo and cmake, not a better generic build system.

2. Minutiae isn't the issue. All big projects end up stuck in minutiae details and it's always a mess.

3. Tools designed to address minutiae details tend to be outrageous garbage when faced with simple problems.

4. Most build problems are simple at their root, especially in the early days when you are still figuring out what the build really wants to be doing.

5. Make is, was, and remains a better tool for people faced with #4, which is why it won't die.
Also, why cut off the pay to like, 20 guys? That’s absolutely peanuts compared to the cost of the entire South Korean army.

It’s also completely counter productive to making an elite unit. Maybe giant masses of underfed peasants might make a decent conscript army by sheer weight of numbers, but a hungry specops force is a useless specops force.

> Some engineers may use such fallacy, exposing all the technicalities of their job to cover incompetence and justify failure in rolling out feature in time.

This is certainly common, however I see more often that engineers are simply not convinced by logically sound arguments that are in fact correct and true, so you’re forced to use other methods such as authority since they’re not operating completely on reason. Despite the stereotype of engineers being logical, it’s more they’d like you to see them that way, but are really maybe just 2% more logical in their reasoning than anyone else.

Nutritional balance isn’t as well understood as many people think.

I’m all for reducing the scale of meat, but for someone like me—who’s been urged to eat more red meat as a result of my deficiencies on top of supplementation—ceasing to do so will put my health back at risk.

I don’t need to eat it every day, but it’s a near essential part of my diet.

Problems of nutrient uptake are the reason medical researchers and professionals aren’t just telling us to go ahead, subside on non-nutrient cellulose fibre cakes and just pop a pill containing all essential nutrients and calories every day.

That may partly be because a lot of r&d departments that used to be there are now long gone because Huawei put them out of business. Not just by stealing but because it was nearly impossible to compete with a company who were backed again and again by the Chinese government despite failing many times.
No, no historian thinks he will find the definitive truth. My point is that there are valid historians (I only know about a few fields, but you can see which historians are valid by how much their peers respect their work) that at least try to get as close to the the probable number of, in this case, deaths. One example: taking a look at Rummel's data on the Soviet Union, he reports 60 million deaths 1917-1987, which is laughable (he even claimed that was a low estimate!). That's the number reported by Solzhenitsyn, which is not considered a reliable source in contemporary Sovietology (probably not a source at all). Here is a relevant thread on r/AskHistorians if you're interested: https://old.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/3v5u2t/are_r...
Check the GISS Surface Temperature Maps (https://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/maps/index_v3.html) how the temperature anomalies were distributed around the world in the months of this year. In the upper latitudes you always have big patches with 4+C over the average of 1951-1980, the anomalies are not so extreme in the rest of the world.

And in those regions in particular have 2 possitive feedback loops, with less snow the land absorb more heat, and then the "unexpected" release of methane.
- pumped-hydro won't work because there are very few places that have the conditions to enable it. Hydro in general is great, but we've pretty much dammed every river that can be dammed.

- batteries won't work because there is no technology today or incoming that can a) store enough to power a city for hours, days, or weeks and b) can even main storage across weeks or months (as would be needed since wind/solar varies seasonally and yearly)

So what other storage methods are left?
Most people erroneously associate "communism" with the regimes of Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong. These were not communist. They were totalitarian and communist only in name.

These activists simply recognize that capitalism is not working for everyone, like the factory workers working those 12-hour shifts under awful working conditions getting paid peanuts, and want to give them more representation and make things more fair. On this higher level I completely sympathize with them, though I have no knowledge of the details of what specifically they are advocating.
There should be a way to actively discourage users to keep away from these old libs that aren't used.
There's a significant group of new developers coming to python as their first language and first coding use. The kind of crap (in the article) is exactly why programming used to be a total nightmare. The only tool I've found that helps with this (albeit in Java) is IntelliJ. What do people use for python?
In debates about politics I have often heard that environmental problems are transversal, independent on the left-right spectrum, that the environment and ecology can be defended from the left or from the right... and from an ideal, abstract, theoretical point, that's true, how could one deny that? There is no reason why a conservative should want to destroy the planet - in fact, the very word "conservative" is pretty much against that.

However, in practice, I am still yet to see a right-wing party that gives a damn about the environment. Be it at the European level, national level, regional level or even at the city level. Go to any random city in my region, read the platform of left-wing parties, and you will typically see bike lanes, bus lanes, pedestrianization, etc. Read the platform of right-wing parties, and you will see more asphalt, more lanes, more parking spaces. City-level elections are supposed to be much more about the candidate, and less about the party, but they still spontaneously group like that.

It shouldn't be like that, and maybe in some other countries it's not like that, I'm not claiming this is universal. But in my country, it certainly is like that.
Curious, did you actually read the article? The first paragraph alone notes much more significant issues. Later the article highlights things like Huawei stealing Cisco code, including all their bugs. I'm all for being critical and trying to stay objective as much as possible, but bluntly ignoring some of these issues won't help either.

As others have said here, the name of regular tea (without spices, etc.) in India is not "chai tea" but just "chai" (in Hindi). "Chai tea" would be like saying "tea tea" (although in two different languages (Hindi and English) in the same two-word phrase), so is redundant. I've had American friends and colleagues who made the same mistake.

I have a good, high-paying job with good benefits and even I am considering going without health insurance because I get so little from the premiums I pay. Most of my providers are out of network because all of the ones in network have 3-12 month waiting lists for new patients.

And that’s on top of the $5000 deductible — plus the fact I know if anything serious happens I’d likely have to fight with the insurance company for years and have to take out a loan to cover the treatment in the meantime (I’ve had to do this before, and conversations with others in my situation taught me I was far from alone).

Our health insurance system is officially non-functional in my eyes.
So market driven. So incentive-based. So flat. So American.

America loves to do things via tax code, which is why the US tax code is famously so complicated, but that time is gone. The answer isn't a new tax to nudge the market. The answer is not an incentive to please stop polluting. We don't need 10% reductions here and there. We need massive reductions everywhere, preferably with active capture that pushes carbon emissions into negative territory. We cannot afford to fund green energy by taxing non-green energy. Coal cannot fund solar. Coal has to stop. We need rules to say that burning coal is now illegal. We need rules that mandate solar+wind as a fixed percentage of energy generation. We need massive rewrites to the rules that limit the deployment of new nuclear technologies. The opportunity for politically-friendly market-based (ie American) approaches has passed. It is time for governments to pass absolute rules forbidding some behaviors and mandating others. If that offends political sensibilities, those political sensibilities need to be set aside.

(1) Burning more than 100kg of coal per year is illegal.

(2) All new houses must include 10m2 of solar panels per resident.

(3) Windmills are, by law, not "an eyesore". No more complaining about them spoiling your retirement view.

(4) Those who cannot articulate the difference between a millisievert and a microsievert, between fission and fusion, are not allowed anywhere near the planning meeting for any new power plant.
It's a well known fact that organic is the healthier option, and also well known that organic costs more. The idea behind organic is that no pesticides or are used in the growing process, so your produce is super clean and none of the harmful effects of pesticides are passed on to the buyer. Organic can also mean no preservatives are used so organic food doesn't last as long and perishes quickly (hence why it's so expensive to shop organic - shorter shelf life).
AFAIK going fully "under" is different from propofol sedation.

> Even if they allow you to download the underlying data, it won't contain any personal identifying information of trial participants that you could verify.

Yes, that's a problem. That's why you need multiple independent authorities to get to a usable level of trustworthiness of information.

> Newspapers get people to trust them by being reliable.

If you are an expert in any subject newspaper reports on, you should be able to find plenty of evidence that it doesn't report anything how it actually is from your expert opinion. Best case it reports one tiny thing correctly and ignores all other facts important to make an informed opinion.
If you think someone is watching your wire they will see what you connect to after resolving it. That's true if your ISP resolved it, Google resolved it or you resolved it. If this is a problem, you need a different solution altogether.

So because a snooping provider is irrelevant when we talk only about resolving DNS, that only leaves the choice of which party to the chain of entities that are able to easily snoop on your or not. If privacy is important, adding Google or any other DoT resolver to that chain is strange.
It does matter, because it makes sense to focus on the biggest contributors to emissions, where the most gains could be made.

The current thinking goes we should eat "less or no meat", when the effort could be put towards not using grain for livestock feed, and promoting other changes such as reducing methane specifically by adding seaweed to the livestock's diet. That's not to mention that grazing is essential to both prevent and reverse desertification.

Conservatives USED to be about conservation back when the wealthy typically still used the outdoors, specifically hunting, fishing, and hiking for recreation. New forms of recreation, new methods of transportation, and an urbanization of the financial elite have pretty much eliminated that aspect.
> For a given word you should have the definition and the forward and reverse translation.

Perhaps for simple/beginner words. But for more advanced words, it's important to realize that our active vocabulary is necessarily much smaller than our passive vocabulary. There are many words we can recognize but can't immediately synthesize ourselves on demand just from an idea or concept (or a translation, even). For anything beyond the most simple words, I think that having the reverse translation doesn't make a whole lot of sense and can be pretty counterproductive in developing one's passive vocabulary.

The other risk, which does really impact the book, is called "stacking".

The small business goes to OnDeck + 6 others companies and gets loans at the same time. OnDeck can't see these other loans because it takes a while for them to show up in reporting. This is technically fraud (the loan contracts say you can't do this), but most of the time, the intent of the business owner is not to outright steal. Usually they are deep in the hole and trying a last ditch effort to get their business on its feet.

When OnDeck approved the business, they approved them based on the ability to repay 1 loan. Naturally, adding so many more loans is much more likely to lead to default on the insane payments. And because there's 6 creditors, each get pennies.
People had more time to read I guess (or maybe now we do all our reading on the internet)
Methane release from cattle is largely a by-product of nitrogen fixing fertilizers putting natural methane eating bacteria in the soil into an inactive state. If we stopped using synthetic (and oil based!) fertilizers at least on where the cattle poop, a lot of that methane will get sequestered into the top soil too.

Which also explains why the flatulence of 60-100m buffalo before the industrial era didn’t warm the planet.

I skimmed through it, thanks for the link, my “rebuttal” is mostly that this report takes into account all cattle while I’m specifically talking about grass-fed. There are plenty of statements that clarify that corn-fed cattle production is much worse than grass-fed, like

> The water used by the livestock sector is over 8 percent of global human water use. The major part of this water is in fact used for irrigation of feed crops, rep- resenting 7 percent of the global water use.

And, yeah, that’s kind of my point - let’s limit cattle to grass and push it’s production somewhere out to steppes of mongolia or something, which will help recover Amazon rainforests and free-up land for more nutritious vegetables for humans.

I’m guessing this is the guy who invented the Widlar current mirror?

For anyone wondering ICs need accurate current sources to drive transistors etc and large resistors take up loads of space and vary a lot with temperature so hence so are very expensive to manufacturer, hence why current mirrors are used all over the place. In fact the 1st stage of an op-amp is usually a current mirror.

yes an no. chess is a very old, well studied game where one can improve w/ work over time. The rules don’t change and people normally agree on what are good/strong moves vs weak moves.

now, if the size of the board, how pieces move and the goal of the game would change every 3 months if Kasparov would come in and tell you that your next move is wrong it would be a pretty hard sell. Also imagine this Kasparov fellow is also into manufacturing a certain type of piece that he wants you to aggressively use to “develop” your game.
I'm not talking about biofuels, I'm talking about Syngas, a.k.a producer's gas or wood gas. Gasification is the process to create these fuels, using pyrolysis (heat) to break down organic material into tar gases and carbon (charcoal). Then using the hot charcoal to reduce the tar gases into carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The process is used for so called "clean" coal plants, but can be utilized on any organic material. All Power Labs and a few other companies are making small scale (20kW - 150kW) power plants, but mostly it's just used for running logging mills (off sawdust and end cuts) as it's a good source of heat and power.

Note: one only utilizes the unused portions of the plant with gasification, so it doesn't affect the supply of edible plant components. If anything it causes the cost to go down, as your utilizing the waste components (corn cobs, walnut shells, etc.) to produce the power and heat to run your farm, or selling it to neighbors. Gasification also helps with removing the methane that would normally be made when these materials are composted. Methane is a much greater greenhouse gas than CO2.
