> The answer is not to try to stop development

"Stop development" is a bit of an alarmist phrase. Few want that. Also, reducing demand in specific areas is still beneficial even if overall demand continues to increase. There's no reason not to address both demand and supply.
Stated superbly.

When I see "almost always being right on the underlying merits in a dispute, but going about it in a fairly obnoxious way" with regard to an editor I imagine things like finding someone doing something in violation of the policy then systematically going around and reverting them (instead of fixing the edits) and leaving them impersonal meat-bot "Your edits are bad and you should feel bad" notes, then when target flips out and starts accusing the correcting-editor of a vendetta, instead of backing off and bringing in help they just cite policy chapter and verse, escalating what could have been an education into an argument-- not because they get off on arguments, but because they suck at interacting with other humans online... Stuff like that.

There is a super wide range for potentially less than great behavior on Wikipedia much of which doesn't overlap with what you'd otherwise consider unprofessional or uncivil conduct.

I have a Zoe, the noise is soft and stops above 30 km/h. I can turn it off with a switch if I want to. I've already noticed people being surprised when I pass them without the noise, so I keep it activated.
if we want to reduce waste switching to frozen instead of fresh would help. most wastage occurs on market shelves anyway. many foods are more nutritious when kept frozen until consumption. most even. but I have no answer for the aesthetics or texture.
I have worked in health care for 15 years primarily taking care of elderly. The biggest message basically they all make is to not let time pass you by when you are young and to enjoy the time with your kids when they are young. Because before you know it they grow up and it’s never the same. I am a single dad as well. I too sacrificed my career so they got the time they needed. My love life is non existent also but I don’t mind. It won’t be like that forever. You are doing the right thing by the sounds of it so good job. When we get to our death beds our kids will be at our sides and there will be no doubt you and I made the correct choice. As for the lady in the article, the entire time I read it as her trying so hard to convince herself her choices were worth it but I fear from my experience she will later regret it. Though I truly like her cause, her own kids lost a family member much like these people going to jail away from their family. I hope she can make the balance her children seek from her.

Freeze drying is largely about removing water. No water means no bacterial action. Instant mummification, in effect.

Particularly if you live alone. Typically you can't buy fewer than 6 sausages in the UK, or in Germany finding anything less than a 2.5kg bag of potatoes can be tricky.
It's not up to them, parliament has to vote and there is no majority for no-deal. A new election with a fresh roster of MPs could change that but 2/3rds of Parliament would need to vote for an election.

If you read some far-right rag then no-deal is just around the corner. But there is some semblance of democracy preventing that.
Not my area of expertise here, but I would think that doing so would help by reducing the overall volume of your waste. As food breaks down into soil, it packs tighter and reduces its overall volume. I assume that garbage trucks are limited by the volume that they can carry, not the weight, so reducing your waste volume should help reduce your overall carbon footprint by marginally reducing the number of vehicle-trips that it takes to collect your waste.

That being said, I would have to think that reducing the amount of waste that you create in the first place will have a bigger impact than reducing the volume of a given mass of waste.
As I said, housing is cheaper in Germany - they spend about the same % on housing, but that's out of a smaller income.
What if you are visually impaired?
I have an old-ish laser printer (purchased in 2005 or so) which works fine, I really don't want to replace it because of an OS upgrade. My dad's got an even older laser printer (purchased probably in the early 1990s) which also works fine, I don't think he's going to want to replace it either.

Hopefully by "printer drivers" they mean "printer manufacturer supplied drivers" and not "all drivers that aren't AirPrint". My printer uses a driver that's built in to MacOS, hopefully it can continue to do so.
My iPhone 6 Plus force upgraded itself to iOS 12 several months ago when I had to restore my phone. Unfortunately, my Apple Watch Series 0 or whatever you’ll call it only works with iOS 11. And now I won’t be able to upgrade my 6 Plus. So my two old devices will permanently and unnecessarily be incompatible with one another forever, through no action of my own (there was no way to avoid the iOS 12 “upgrade”).

Both will permanently be in the past, but one major version away from compatibility. It’s pretty frustrating.

social media strike on July 4th?

I'm betting Facebook has a huge spike. The people I know on Facebook:

- Won't be able to resist posting gratuitous food-fest pics
Agriculture is subsidized for many reasons but one of the main reasons is national security. A nation that depends on imports to feed itself is beholden to whoever exports to it. Likewise a nation that exports food can exert control over those countries dependent on it for food.
Someone who doesn't have or is unable to obtain a job offer with much higher compensation in industry.

For example, hiring a CS or Math grad as a HS CS teacher is more competitive than hiring a French Literature grad as a HS French teacher. The CS grads have a lot of other options and at any fixed compensation you will get much better French teachers than CS teachers.
With respect I believe that's a completely different thing. In the case discussed the pressure to boob-up was external; the agents and fashion perception (bobcostas55's comment notwithstanding). With bodybuilders it's AFAIK internal pressure, a misperception of themselves.

I knew a bodybuilder once (2 PhD's, smart guy) who said that you had to be bigger, that you could never be too big. And he understood clearly it was driven by a sense of inadequacy.

> I don’t know one woman who finds that attractive

I do know a very few, but generally yes. When I was younger I just assumed women loved it until I heard a female mate of mine describing large muscles as 'disgusting'. Bit of an eye-opener, that!

ugh.

That is an interesting point I missed, thanks. I still hold the fashion industry pushes big boobs, but yes, I accept this as an exception.
"Air conditioning and heating can easily be 2/3rds or more of your usage and is trivial to reduce" its not trivial to reduce it to zero which is what we are talking about, absent other changes.

"Tumble dryers use tons of power. Hang your laundry up instead and you could save yourself 20-30kWh/week"

How much washing do you do each week?! You're right though, in the best best case this could be reduced to zero, assuming no rain, or winter.

"solar hot water" this is kind of cheating. If solar hot water were the cheapest or generally accepted option v solar electric I'd accept, but that isnt the case as far as I aware. I wouldn't accept gas heating or hot water either.

I don't deny that you could construct a scenario where you can trivially save 2/3rds of your electricity usage, but we have an OP who has done the work to identify that they can save this without too much trouble, so they have some awareness of the issue, but then we have to assume they are starting from a high base and haven't done anything to lower their usage, which doesn't make much sense, and then also assume they live in an incredibly temperate climate where they don't need heating/cooling, but simultaneously assume they they like it really warm in winter and really cool in summer. That's too many leaps for me.

I havent done these sums, so I'm less dedicated than the op?, but I already have an lcd tv, led lights, hang my washing out when its sunny, put a jumper on in winter, and don't possess aircon. I don't have 2/3rd fat to trim, and that's energy usage. If anything I'd expect my long term electricity usage to increase, my heating, hot water and hob are gas, and my cars petrol. I expect those to become electric in the medium term.

Steam app itself is 64-bit since last year. The situation is, if you want to be able to continue playing all of your old games, you better keep an installation of macOS Mojave to dual boot into. Publishers also remove 32-bit games from sale on steam, eg Aspyr and Feral Interactive. "The complete list of 32-bit Mac games no longer supported" https://www.macgamerhq.com/news/32-bit-mac-games/
I recently moved to electric as my preferred mode of transportation, and as a result ride an e-moped around a family busy city in central Europe. When I first started riding I rapidly became very aware that people just don't hear it, and are not used to looking for danger on the roads they're about to step on, if they haven't first heard it coming.

So I've sat at many a traffic light considering the viability of making an app for mobile that is essentially a motion triggered synthesiser, getting louder/changing pitches/stepping through a song sequence as the e-moped rider picks up speed. It has been a thought game I've played, at least a few times, and mostly after some near misses.

However lately this whole concept was defeated when I realised, basically, all I needed is a little bell to hang on the handle-bars ...
That is part of it. But the important point is that it is not inherent. There nothing saying that you can't be protocols for that. It is just beyond what the Internet was design for many years ago, and the de facto Internet today include proprietary infrastructure run by large tech companies. But it is generally even worse then that because today smart phone don't have external ip addresses so you can't connect to them even after the initial centralized wake up. So it is an absolute regression as well.

You contradict yourself. Google Purchase history requires a google account, they can't connect it to you if you are not logged in.

The reason google pushes the log-in in their browser is exactly because they want to be able to tie this all to your account.
Just to avoid that confusion: "certain" is not the same as "so incredibly sure that it would be world-shattering to discover otherwise", even though the former often is used colloquially to mean the latter. I'm pretty sure that that is some equivocation that's going on here.

> I do apply it to other things.

So, you are saying that there is a claim that you are absolutely certain about?

> This would result in the same infinite hierarchically regressive death spiral as above.

Except there is no such thing. There is nothing in not being absolutely certain about anything that prevents you from still coming to conclusions and acting on them, and in many cases at least locally successfully so. There is nothing in reality, as far as I am aware, that guarantees that you can be certain about anything. And as such, you are simply demanding that I make an unjustified claim because that claim is an assumption that you want to make, and you maybe will refuse to engage unless I make that claim.

But that is not a problem that I can solve. I hold the position that absolute certainty is unjustified, and I am willing to help you understand that perspective if you are interested. You can either drop your assumption for the sake of the discussion, so you can maybe understand how my perspective makes sense, or you can insist that I should be sharing your assumption, which certainly will not allow you to understand my perspective.

In particular, you may want to take another close look at the examples that you used, apparently to try and construct contradictions from my statements. What you maybe want to pay attention to is whether those are actually contradictions (that is, self-inconsistent). It seems to me that many really just demonstrate that what I said contradicts the assumption of (the need for) absolute certainty. Which I'll readily admit they do. But that is not inconsistent, because that is not an assumption that I share. As such, they are expressions of how hard you find to accept what I said, which is fair--but they do not show a problem in my argument or reasoning.
Sure, but you’ll need to file double the outraged Instagrams on the day after to make up for it.
Heat pumps are the most effective way of cooling or heating something as long as you have good insulation and the temperature range is within the effective range in which the pump can operate.

This is why you get over 100% efficiency in terms of work vs output.

Say you have a 100% efficient heater it means for every watt you put in a watt of heat is released to the environment.

A heat pump doesn’t releases anything it moves it from one side to another so for one watt of energy that it takes to operate a heat pump you can move up to 10 watts worth of heat (some pumps can be even more efficient than this) form one side to another.

I totally agree. It's an absolute privilege. But the argument around TFA is: "Is this parent making the right choice." She's not an hourly worker. She's at the peak of her profession. She has many choices which would provide a fine living and a more reasonable balance, if she chose them.

This is absolutely the question of tradeoffs between job satisfaction vs time at home. It is not a question of putting food on the table.

First It's not my thoughts and secondly Jordon has very profound deep understanding and I think I am not capable of summarising his thoughts as I am also trying to decipher and get.

He is clinical physiologist and he has good depth of this kind of subject and I'm not right person to translate his views. But what I get is this

"Life is sacrifice at every level (He quotes and decipher bibles story) and you have to sacrifice the some things for your family and loved ones"

But I feel these above lines do not do justice for the video as I said it has so much to get and everyone has their own perspective to get the things.

Sure you might disagree with me or him but you have your own perspective and you should decipher the meaning by yourself.

A Comprehensive Rust Language Cheat Sheet
In my opinion these kinds laws are of the kind that "we need to do something because we need to do something". The effects are marginal. If these laws were the result of solid scientific studies and engineering it would be different, but they are not.

Basically everybody has to pay the price of having more noise pollution to save a few people not paying attention at what they are doing.

The reason we get these kinds rules is because there is a regulatory framework for cars. which makes it easy to add additional requirements.

For example, in the Netherlands both electric mopeds and high speed electric bikes get more popular. Certainly the bikes are at high speed essentially silent (small bike tires have less friction and make less noise).

Because there is no framework to require bikes to make noise they don't have to. And needless to say, a collision with a bike going 45 km/h will do a lot of damage.

If people bumping into silent things was a wide spread problem, then yes it would make sense to require every thing to make noise.

But these types of accidents are just that, accidents. They will always happen. Taking random measures to reduce accidents with an unknown amount will just make society as a whole worse.
I hate noise pollution too but some people are blind.
Such communities are easy pickings for exploitation, which is how they get infiltrated and made toxic to hell. See also "incel", something that started out from a woman's blog and turned from self-deprecating to a bit of mutual help, to finally a toxic hell hole.
I get it, and I'm sure that if SO hadn't driven me away from contributing years ago, I might be upset too. But for me this is in the category of "cows realizing that all that grain wasn't free after all".

To be honest: I think SO is in a difficult position here. They're absolutely essential to the software dev community, but their service is incredibly hard to monetize without alienating users.

In Germany, I find that this is one of the (many) beauties of shopping at the farmer's market. If I need 3 carrots and 2 onions and 6 potatoes, that is very easy at the Samstagsmarkt. Buying sausages or meat from the butcher or the meat counter at the grocery also supports the purchase of the exact (smaller) quantities I need.
Near the very end of a decidedly lame duck film Babylon A.D. there is an incredibly beautiful and serene scene. The camera pans through ruins in the middle of still creeping wilderness, and stops in an open room where a deer is drinking water from a pool.

The scene feels so out of place, it's like from another movie.

It is. The sequence is a carefully done adaptation of the deer scene in Tarkovsky's S.T.A.L.K.E.R - itself an absolute masterpiece of slow, visual storytelling.
I think if you looked at the early years of feminism, you would a similar hatred of men. Only people who have been pushed to the absolute brink are prepared to break the social taboos. The sooner the world accepts that there needs to be a conversation about equality going both ways, the sooner that anger will be defused. Arguing about who has it "worse" is probably counterproductive now.

(All of this applies mainly to the western cultural context. Some places in the world are still at the stage of needing suffragettes)
Using the smoking analogy, this passage from the article:

> We’re going to flex our collective muscles and demand that giant, manipulative corporations give us back control over our data, privacy, and user experience.

sounds as if smokers demanded of tobacco companies for two days that they cut the amount of carcinogens in cigarette smoke (and maybe stop putting nicotine in their cigarettes as well) - and then resumed smoking after 2 days. It comes off as weak, pathetic and insincere.
The limit doesn't have to be at the point where motor stops being louder. They only have to cover the range where all car induced noise is too quiet and only to extent necessary to mitigate this for EVs.

I don't quite get this. I'm not logged into SO at the moment. I went to the home page, and the first thing I see is "For developers" and "For businesses". I clicked "For developers", and under "Public Q&A" There's a big button "Browse questions". I click that button, and I'm on a page that looks exactly like SO always looks: questions, answers, and a big blue "Ask Question" button.

To ask a question you have to log in, but that's standard practice. Am I missing something?
