It’s also a problem too large to place solely at the hands individual consumers or decision makers. The political economy is rigged against the 99.999999999%. Look how hard he US is fighting against changes to simply decrease gun mass killings and violence. Even if all the voters in the democratic-ish countries voted as a bloc, it wouldn’t be enough. Countries like Russia, Saudi Arabia, and China and the international mega corporations can/will override those choices with their choices and endowments.

“All I need you to do is want a livable future. This is your planet, and no one can advocate for it like you can. No one can protect it like you can.”

It would take a Herculean effort to make a dent in this. Every act of the industrial revolution through to today has contributed to the carbon in the air. It will literally take more than all of the energy expended over all that time and those actions to sequester the carbon released since the industrial revolution. And not even that would get us back to where the planet was before we started releasing carbon.

That’s wrong in many jurisdictions for speeding issues by an actual officer. Red light cameras are indeed civil penalties, which is my point. It’s extra legal and you have zero recourse.
one reason that prices did not increase to fill the void immediately is that systems have an information lag between events, thus I expect a few years of mismatch. Furthermore some resources are going to increase in cost no matter what because external pressures - climate change - are going to drive up the costs of those resources (primarily food) no matter what.
We also have a banking system to deal with these kinds of issues. The client should have payed.

Cryptocurrency wallets use the BIP32 scheme which provides an even neater ability: from a root public key alone you can generate a series of children public keys, no private keys are involved in the calculation. (And whoever posses the root private key can generate the corresponding series of children private keys.) The technical aspects are described in https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0032.mediawi... But that's overkill given the simpler requirements of Find My. Each device stores the private key so they don't need something with the feature set of BIP32.

Jack Ma is a massive hypocrite IMO. In another speech Jack Ma said:

"Independent thinking, teamwork, care for others, these are the soft parts. Knowledge may not teach you that. That's why I think we should teach our kids sports, music, painting, art -- making sure humans are different from machines."

Yeah, the FIRST thing you need to do to do that is to end this 996 horror. 996 IS treating humans like machines. People already have kids and parents to care for; if you want them to engage in sports, music, painting, art, they need normal work hours.

I would listen to a podcast episode or read a book about this. It sounds like an interesting story!
I have the opposite problem. Too many ideas. And mostly they are non-commercial "open source" kind of ideas. So hard to justify working on with work/family commitments. But these ideas have come as a result of doing side projects.

This is my main pet idea, feel free to do it:

I am very interested in the idea of sites that provide cloud functionality (e.g. a budget app, a todo list, a calendar, a document editor etc.) but the user controls where and how the data is stored.

I was thinking of making an app that does a lot of those things (budget todo etc.), and you log in via Dropbox - USING THE CLIENT SIDE API. So there is no middleware server, just a static site and then Dropbox API connected via XHR requests.

The next step is to integrate 10 other Dropbox-like services, and eventually open it up to be extendable so anyone can bring their own service if they want full control over where there data is stored.

Then other people can write more apps for the eco system. Eventually you will be able to say "I want this mail client, and I want to store my data in Azure", or "I want this todo list, with my data stored on my server" and it will be super easy to do. And by easy I mean the app developers don't think about storage other than a call to .store(json), and the user doesn't need any technical knowledge to make their choices.

This is to bring the spirit of desktop apps to the web. Just because we use the web for convenience it doesn't mean we need to be tracked and have it in a nice schema with other people's data for spying on.

The gold plating is to integrate with some work that has been done recently on a document format for collaborative editing of documents. It was posted on HN a few weeks ago but I don't have the link to hand.
A sensible way for things to work is that traffic engineers interested in safety and flowing traffic work out a rule for how yellow lights work, and that's the rule for the entire country.

Usually your goal is that the yellow lasts long enough that any vehicle which isn't speeding and has brakes at least as good as those required by law, will either pass through the junction while it's still yellow or could easily stop before it goes red. Since even though some drivers will be speeding, anyone who isn't driving a way out-of-specification heap of junk has _much_ better brakes than required by law, this gives plenty of slack. The engineers need to know speed limits on approach roads, the size of the junction (remember, pass _through_ the junction, it's no good if your fast vehicle is still in the middle of the junction when it goes red) and slopes (which affect braking) and various other factors.

However the US is not, on the whole, a country where the sensible way of doing things has much sway. I'd be astonished if there's a Federal Law in the US that sets usable requirements for their whole country, and frankly it wouldn't surprise me if individual towns get to have local politicians just pick a number out of a hat for how long the yellow lasts for the one junction in that town.
The stackoverflow link I included says that the FileSystem API is disabled in incognito mode so its absence suggests the user is connecting via an incognito tab.
Yep this behavior has been normalized by our industry, much to the embarrassment of everyone involved. Move fast and break (other people's) things?

> In which country?

America.

> Isn't there some soft of a regulation on the yellow light duration depending on the max allowed speed on the road?

Nope.

> Living in a country with yellow lights

Which? It's also possible that you have a local law.

> I was taught that yellow means ,,stop if you can do so comfortably

Unfortunately, red light cameras cause an issue with this. There is time after a yellow for those few times we make the bad call, because it's not always easy to judge in that short of a time. Red lights make this much harder, and may lead us to stop suddenly and unsafely (part-way into the intersection, get rear-ended, etc.).
Based on your description of your priorities one could argue that older workers are the ones depressing wages, not younger workers. Many older workers (including you, by your own admission) value job security and work life balance over raw compensation and are less willing to rock the boat. Younger workers are more likely to go “fuck you, pay me, and if you don’t I’m going to move across the country to take up this other job offer I have”. Older employees with a spouse and kids have much less geographic mobility.
Dependency ranges mean package updates happen automatically. So a minor release could contain malicious code without anyone noticing. I still think semver is worthwhile even if it a little bit more vulnerable to this kind of attack.
This article is about 20 years too late.

Back in the late 1990's, I worked for a rural radio station -- they were in the process of moving to full automation, and was working on getting the country station in full automation: I had a background in Audio/Video Productions (and computers/electronics), so, I spent a lot of time working on the automation (old Harris Automation System, vs the rest of the cluster using AudioVault from BEI).

There was someone in the studio from 5AM Until Midnight (sometimes later if there were west coast ballgames) Monday-Friday: We'd do the news at the top and bottom of the hour (each station in the cluster got sent back to network audio at different times -- 4:15, 6:00, 6:30 after the hour, which required some really good pacing and reading skills to not let the other stations know you're pushing something back to network), cut live and recorded weather for other stations, and then answer the phone/distribute faxes/etc.

I learned a lot about RF and Broadcast engineering during this time, and it honestly was the catalyst to push me into electrical and computer engineering (admittedly, restoring a VAX/VMS with the station engineer was the biggest driver).

I can identify a "Satellite" station from a mile away. The liners sound different -- if they even match up -- the clocks at the top and the bottom of the hour are sync'ed with :30:00 and 00:00.

Sunday mornings was religious programming (the "hangover" shift), and we'd do Friday night Football for High School and Saturday/Sunday College and Professional Football games, and Basketball games during the winter months. Add in some NASCAR and Indy racing (on the country music station), and there were plenty of weeks where I had 50/60/70 hours (at 17, I thought I was financially set -- lest I know that I was completely wrong!)

To this day, the group of stations that I grew up with are still using split ownership to get past FCC rules about station clustering (but, all ran out of the same building).
Because if you don't consider SemVer as part of your threat model, you'll specify "v1.2.3 or above" instead of "v1.2.3".
It's nice to have, but it does feel super limited with tools like https://github.com/tmrts/boilr or https://github.com/audreyr/cookiecutter which allows to generate customized files/directories via variables and conditions.
What kinds of things do you do personally to promote a healthy microbiome

I'm very picky about the types of fats and oils I consume.

Coconut oil does good things for gut flora. It is high in medium triglycerides, a form of fat/oil that has long been medically recommended for serious gut issues, such as stomach cancer and cystic fibrosis.

I'm a butter fiend. I also avoid a long list of oils that wreak havoc on my system, most notably peanut oil.

The gut is lined with mucus. Salt is a major component of mucus. High quality salt can do good things for gut health.

"Glyconutrients" have helped some people with gut issues. It's a fancy term for the right kind of carbs.

When they changed the formulation of the glyconutrient supplement I was taking (added an ingredient I'm allergic to), I found that aloe vera did about 50 to 80 percent as much good. I eventually found another ingredient that had been in the glyconutrient supplement and thereafter was okay without it.

These day, I mostly rely on potatoes as my source for carbs that help me. I have always been a potato fiend.

Also, high acidity is problematic for the gut. Eating an alkaline diet helps with gut issues.
We shouldn't optimize society based on the needs of "people that rely on overtime to get by", we should optimize so that people don't have to rely on overtime to get by.

It's like someone was asking back in the day: "Abolishing child labor? What about all those 10 and 12 year olds that depend on their job to eat?"
I see no problem with this outside of the set of core Rust technologies. If you were to require the average developer to type mathematic symbols it would be a barrier. However, libraries specifically targeting mathematicians would obviously not have that same barrier. Making mathematical equations clearer to read and easier to work with within that domain may certainly be worth using syntactic tricks and non-ASCII symbols.

I've seen plenty of code bases which are not in English, since the developers did not have English as their first language. This is usually a well-contemplated decision - for instance, the Ruby language source code is specifically written so that you don't require knowledge of Japanese to understand the core libraries or the C reference implementation.
It would still be possible for you to break your screen through one minor accident. If you rely on your computer, the possible emergency repair costs should be considered before purchase, even if it's unlikely.

The leetcode angle at least makes interviews much more predictable and easier to prep for. The Google-style interview is well studied and documented by this point, like an SAT with an answer key you can study beforehand.
You’re still vulnerable if you lock down dependencies during the period the malicious code is wild though. You have to actually audit your locked dependencies to consider yourself safe.
This is a feature that (coming from Europe) I've missed when driving in the US. I didn't know that it was generally unavailable, I thought I had bad luck with my rental cars.
Because modules in the same codebase have an unfortunate tendency to cross each others' boundaries. It's just too easy for them to reach into each others' implementation classes and couple together strongly. But if they're different codebases, there's a stronger wall between them.
The assumption that there exists some price at which the older worker is preferable is assuming that all software workers have a positive contribution and the only task is to value and compensate it roughly in proportion.

My experience suggests that a fair chunk of the population of software developers are incapable of sustainably creating positive business value overall (even if they were paid nothing). If that model is the correct one, part of what you're paying for in a younger applicant is they might be good, whereas with an experienced yet unskilled applicant, they might already be the equivalent of a scratched-off lottery ticket that isn't a winner. (There's no price at which you would buy it.)

Note that I'm well into the age range where I would be discriminated against if age discrimination were rampant. I'm also not claiming that experienced workers are more likely than younger workers to have a negative value. I'm merely claiming that their value is more likely to be determined and less likely to change in the future.
I think breathalyzers would be great, but I believe the reliability isn't at all there.

Seatbelts are only a protective devices once you are already in a crash, not their root cause. Modern cars will also already incessantly beep to you, and people stupid enough to buy a defeat device for them might as well fly out the windshield for all I care, their behavior isn't likely to cause much harm for others.

But I'm not at all opposed. I'm happy to do away with speed cams if we can simply have modern cars enforce the speed limits they already know about.

Simulation hypothesis--it seems as good for explaining many phenomena and should be tested like other theories.

I’ve noticed the exact opposite. The Apple apps are surprisingly basic. If I want any real functionality, I’m forced to buy a third party app which results in Apple getting more money. They have direct motivation to avoid doing what you claim. How would they make money on their own free apps?

Still miss the larger picture. Now the genie is out, a country will have technology to monitor all things and people all the time.

The world is not just Apple. Someone will use the sane idea to do evil behind this.

And even Apple has to work inside say china and follow their law. What if they ask ...

The links to us all. The freedom to publish and share. Then someone turn it into a way to record and monitor everything you said. And e-wall the whole country and round up any people they do not like.

Good luck. Guess technology is neutral. It is not it’s fault. But beware of the gift from clever Greek. Or in that story the golden Apple.
I founded and am still heavily involved in a makerspace that's doing pretty well (8k sqft facility, 4 staff). Focusing on equipment doesn't work, you have to focus on community building. The only equipment that will draw people are the high ticket $20k+ tools, but you have to have the community first to be able to get those grants.

Seek out grants to start a scholarship fund to pay for people that can't afford memberships.

I understand the point that you are trying to make, but it's off the mark. Older workers are almost always paid more than younger workers, all else being equal. Unless there is some seismic shift in the economy, this might as well be axiomatic. So, it's just not possible for older people to depress the wages of younger people, unless older people in their prime working years for compensation (35-55+) for most sectors of the economy (including IT) started volunteering to do the same work for less compensation. As others in this thread have already made clear, even when they do that (e.g., out of desperation due to age discrimination), they're still going to be considered more "expensive" than a younger worker.

Also, let's be realistic: the vast majority of entry-level software developers just are not good enough to pull off the kind of thing you describe. They would be laughed off.
And you know, don't currently have a monopoly on iOS application distribution that it could use to strong arm developers on their platform to always make using it an option.

As a Renault driver I can say: much cheaper than German cars, the latest generation models have very advanced technology, they are reliable and they are quite comfortable. Also, some models have a really good design. The list price is medium-high, but high rebates are the norm. I never thought I would buy Renault - but the current model range has its merits.

This seems like very basic contract law 101 stuff.

The promise of payment is the consideration. A contract is literally an exchange of promises. When you go into a car dealership and buy a car, they are exchanging a promise (you get a car!) for your promise to pay them.

The refusal to pay is a failure to live up to the promise - that is what makes it a breach of contract. If not paying meant consideration didn’t exist, then nobody would be able to sue for breach of contract for non-payment. If breach meant the contract was invalid, you wouldn’t be able to enforce the contract.
That was my thought too, and God I hope so.

Someone needs to push mesh networking on a more consumer level, if it has to be Apple, so be it.
