Regarding "HeyLaughingBoy"'s comment - that market would be tubes of caulk and glue/epoxy.

While in the industrial space most use the common "gun" style applicator with the large tubes of product, and certain other manufacturers (3M in particular) sell custom applicators for industrial use for certain products (oftentimes at an insane markup) - there is the space for both the DIY'er and "handyman" (as well as commercial maintenance).

They will typically use regular squeeze tubes, especially on smaller projects where the larger gun-style tubes are too much or wasteful (because they may only use a small amount, and even when capped off, the tubes will dry out/cure relatively rapidly, especially at the nozzle end - making them useless and wasting product/money).

There also might be a market for automotive window glass installers for the sealants they use (and a/c repairmen?); actually tons of markets like this when you stop to think about it!
Yes.

You can instead stay home and read a book. Perhaps on a slow, eco-friendly journey every few years.
The Tragedy of the Commons prevent this. You cannot solve it solely by making yourself "use nothing" when others will abuse that to take more for themselves.

It will not solve the problem when the rich have enough resources to do the ruining themselves no matter what you do.
Founders at Work, the book, is a horrible example of that: it starts with the plainly false assertion that a sprinter is fastest leaving the blocks.

One option is to use basically any provider + prepaid visa cards. Just access the website over tor or a VPN you semi trust. Sure it's technically traceable but not without a lot of trouble.

Keep in mind that once the VPS provider is issued a subpoena they still have access to your connecting computer's IP. They then have to issue a subpoena to your ISP for your account information. The only way to hide your IP is to use a proxy or a vpn... Oh wait, yeah that's the issue. See [0]

I personally just recommend using whatever you'd like, Vultr, DO, scaleway, etc. Feralhosting isn't anonymous but they uh... don't care what you really use it for cough torrents cough.

[0] If you're REALLY trying to be fully anonymous then you'll need to put on your blackhat. I would start with planting a raspberry pi in a business, library, coffeeshop, etc. You can use that IP as a starting point. You won't want to use only that one IP most likely, so you're going to need more proxies/servers, most common method is botnets. This really isn't worth the trouble to 99.9999% of people.

Edit: I guess I'm estimating there are ~7,000 people in the world who it's worth the trouble to do.... Actually that might be accurate, cool! :D

>but it protects society as a whole.

Regulations may be a net positive overall but there are plenty of examples of bad regulation. The general case does not necessarily apply to any one case and even if it does there's still plenty of room to screw up the implementation. You can't just hand wave and say "well regulation is generally good so therefore this specific regulation must also be good". That's the same flawed logic as using demographic statistics as if they apply to individuals.

I think the point of the survey was to write an inflammatory article picking on ignorant Americans.

"numbers written in Arabic" is the same as "Arabic Numerals" because that's what "Arabic Numerals" means to Americans without any additional context. We don't have an everyday term for western-style numbers, but you can draw context for "X Numerials" from "Roman Numerals" which clearly indicates a different character set for representing numerical values.
There's also nano-hydroxyapatite (n-Ha), a bioactive form of calcium apatite that has been found to stick to dentine and help remineralize your teeth [1] [2].

Basically, everything in space is a moving target.

If you'd really like to nail home an almost intuitive understanding of orbital mechanics, I recommend Kerbal Space Program. Imagine Minecraft NASA. You plan, build, launch, and fly space missions using a simplified physics model. It's insanely fun and addictive, as long as you can get past the frustrations of early failures.

I cannot recommend this game enough. I've got hundreds of hours in, and I'm at the point where I've got huge spreadsheets carefully planning out mission parameters to spec the requirements for my new heavy launch platform to colonize the solar system. I'm even assembling a long-term research station in orbit that will eventually be parked around a gas giant.
If people loved their privacy so much they would stop using FB, Watsapp, Instagram, Google etc...None of the FB products are really even necessary (I know because i don't use any of em). They would vote with their behaviors so the corporation changes. As for the meddling in elections, it merely revealed what america is really like. Even if FB didn't exist, we were eventually going to get where we are today. As for people like me, like 98% of HN would take a job with FB if it paid them the right price, the 1 % have better offers so they can take the moral high ground without really sacrificing anything, so really where is the "morality" of all the people. FB is a scummy corp, but they are more or less just as scummy as many corporations we have in modern day america, it is just that they are easily visible as a target.

Well to most people the internet is Big Tech. And the big tech internet is arguably corrosive. The only thing Telecom does is hinder people from getting more internet cheaper, faster.

Conclusion: Big Telecom is a net good.
Perhaps there's a middle ground. Give users a range of options (say 3 to 5) that aggregate the settings, ranging from "I don't really care about privacy" to "I wear a tinfoil hat to bed", along with pointers to where and how they might wish to delve deeper into more detailed settings.

"Ethics aside, they can..."[1]

I expected nothing less from somebody who worked for Uber.

"But actually this summer, we’re going to Greece"

He does all the calculations, is more informed than the average person, and still decides to just go for it.

This is why the battle against global warming is pointless. Human population explosion (triggered by the invention of agriculture) will simply run its course, and we'll just have to live with whatever world we'll be left with in the end.

Yes, he is buying "offsets" for his family, but most of them are clearly a scam, and he also seems to be aware of that.

Trees take years to grow, and capture carbon in the ground, not in the higher atmosphere. Methane would probably be burned anyway, nice for the operators that the can make some extra bucks selling the "offsets".

As for travel: buy a big TV. There are movies from beautiful places all over the world. Then go swimming in a lake nearby. No need to travel thousands of miles for that.

What is so important about visiting Greece? I live in Europe and I have never been to Greece. Nevertheless, I have some ideas about its culture. I've seen photographs, read the Iliad, talked to Greek people, and so on.

Hey thanks for commenting! Yeah I think with CPU bound work a lot of the popular effective Python libraries are going to be mostly C-based with Python bindings.

Consider looking for an alternative that isn't as "hard", cannabis can be that once you found a good strain for you (Sativa weighted hybrids) and a reliable supplier for it.

>Ethereum also had an ICO (paid in Bitcoin) and it delivered.

According to the SEC it was also an illegal offering of a security, and its receiving special treatment bc they considered it to have matured and no longer be considered a security, therefore grandfathered its grandfathered in unlike any other ICO.

No one else is going to have the good fortune of being able to offer an unregistered security then mature into a non-security with the SEC acting first.
The Jobs case is instructive also because it was this exact lack of focus that got him fired from Apple the first time. Remember him wanting the factory machinery painted bright white? It served no engineering or business purpose, he just thought it looked nicer.

"Each additional metric ton of carbon dioxide or its equivalent — your share of the emissions on a cross-country flight one-way from New York to Los Angeles — shrinks the summer sea ice cover by 3 square meters, or 32 square feet, the authors, Dirk Notz and Julienne Stroeve, found."

Those picture-like analogies may be very effective, but I immediately call bullshit. I want to know a percentage. Let's say 100% of air travel was removed, how much CO2 is that in savings, percentage-wise?

It's two percent[1]. If you just told people it was two percent, they would immediately proceed to not give a damn. Only the most dogmatic of people would be giving up a major freedom in their life just to save a theoretical two percent on CO2.

Telecom is a different kind of problem, and it is not clear that antitrust can effectively address it. From a comment of mine a couple days ago when someone here raised a similar question:

> Wouldn't it make more sense to break up broadband ISP monopolies first?

Probably not for the Department of Justice. Some problems with that approach:

1. If you are trying to address the issue of limited choice in ISPs, I don't see how breaking them up addresses that. If you split an ISP that has a monopoly in a state, say, into separate ISPs for, say, each county...you've just gone from having one monopoly to having several monopolies. The limited choice is because there is only one cable coming into my house, and splitting up the company that owns that cable doesn't change that.

Addressing that probably requires something like making the last mile data transport a regulated utility that ISPs operate on top of. That would probably require Congressional action and a new President to do nationwide or to allow states to do individually.

2. Competition among ISPs in a region can vary dramatically city to city, and even neighborhood to neighborhood. I've not extensively researched this so maybe this is wrong, but the impression I've gotten is that an ISP's prices in a region tend to be pretty similar between those places within the region where they are the only choice, and those places within the region where there are alternatives with similar performing alternatives. That could make it hard to show that the ISP is abusing its monopoly in those parts of its territory where it does not have competition.

3. Aside from rural areas that only have DSL via the phone company, in most places there are multiple ISPs available. It's pretty common to have both cable and DSL, and in many cities there is also a fiber option. There's also wireless options, ranging from the regular consumer service of AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon, and the various MVNOs that are built on those networks, and many places also have wireless available that is not based on the cellular networks.

You might argue that, say, cellular wireless is not really a viable option to Comcast or Charter or whoever the cable company is in a given area, due to the vast difference in speed. But you will have to actually make the argument. You won't be able to just say that they speed difference makes them different markets. You'll have to actually look at how people are using these various services and show that they really are not comparable.

I think that the factors in #2 and #3 make it almost impossible to win an antitrust case against a major ISP as a whole. The DoJ would have to bring smaller cases alleging monopolization in specific regions, tailored to the specific way the factors in #2 and #3 play out in that region.

Having to do this region by region, or even city by city in some regions, would make this a very long, expensive pursuit. (And where they win, there is still the question of whether or not there is an effective remedy they can apply).

Thus, it is probably better for the DoJ to leave this issue to Congress to deal with via legislation.

This is an interesting comment; first, we have something akin to

> Web site looks fine, probably done by an engineer..."that looks like a poorly constructed phishing attempt"

...an amalgam of your's and parent's (to your's) posts, and then your's:

> Rather that than some slicked up bullshit from some “startup”

So the question on my mind is, "What does a ecommerce website look like that would satisfy both of your outlooks?"

That is, how does a designer/web developer create a website that won't look too "slick startup BS", but yet won't look like "non-designer engineering garbage"?

I'm not asking you for an answer, but posing this question for others to possibly think about what that answer might be, because too often we encounter one or the other option, and both turn potential customers away...

> The most efficient solution is a carbon tax that fully captures externalities.

I'm all for that once someone comes up with a rigorous, apolitical calculation for what that value is. It's much easier to identify the existence of unpriced externalities than it is to quantify them. I know people associated with the IMF have attempted to do so[1], but they still admit the calculations are "contentious".
