It's not just any artwork, it's a piece of WPA art by an independently-notable artist. Yes, it's ugly (if only in the way it freely uses stereotypes that are considered at least somewhat offensive today). But so what. The school district can cover it in a non-destructive way if they don't want the schoolkids exposed to it, but destroying the work altogether would be out of question in a sane world.
I see big privacy concerns with this, because most likely the only practical way to make this work is to log every purchase any citizen does and store it for several years. It would also be very unlikely to incentivise those people who don't already care about climate change, and might actually serve to disincentivise them because being more wasteful makes them look better among their peers. For a case study on this, consider the Rolling Coal movement.
"Men Who Stare at Goats", by Jon Ronson is a terrifying tale, if read carefully, of PSYOPs agencies and the ops they run against the American public.

The machinery is very expensive and DIYing something with those pressures is very dangerous, since you're building a bomb. That's about 2000x the pressure inside a champagne bottle and 20x the pressure of a bomb.

TBH I see a lot more grousing over men prioritizing their careers in the advice columns and popular media today while women are exalted for going into the same soul crushing rat races (ie in this article) that men are told to spurn for the more important things in life.

The rides since the 1990s with TV screens and shaky chairs are rather boring compared to earlier animatronics like Pirates. I generally never have done them a second time. You'd think with modern assembly line motion capture, robotics and computers that animatronics would be a cinch.

Disheartening.

I grew up with absentee parents. This is an unwelcome spin on that situation. I can't even give an opinion on this that doesn't immediately fly into rage. I just hope I don't try to pair off with someone who ends up getting hoodwinked by articles like this. This is disgusting.
Definitions are always tough. Are text adventure games "video games?" How about games with no visuals at all like A Blind Lengend http://www.ablindlegend.com/en/home-2/
What about things like Mattel Football? When I've taught videogame courses I ask my students these questions and they often fall back on the old "I know it when I see it" rational.
That's the claim, and I tend to believe it's true. But I'd like to see some convincing data.

> This research examined the association between parenting style and life satisfaction in adulthood (N=112). Participants responded to an online survey, called the Parenting Style and Life Satisfaction Survey, which included questions pertaining to parenting style experienced in childhood, parenting style used in adulthood, and levels of life satisfaction. A chi-square test was conducted to determine if there was a relationship between parenting style experienced in childhood and the adult's own parenting style. Analysis of variance tests were conducted to determine how parenting style experienced in childhood was connected to life satisfaction in adulthood and how the adult's parenting style was related to their life satisfaction. Correlations revealed that there were no statistically significant relationships between parenting style and life satisfaction. Results were interpreted and implications were discussed.
Sure, but I expected a per-artist feed, so that I could be alerted of new tracks from by favorite artists from my RSS reader.
You totally left off corruption at military level. The "Revolving Door" of the Pentagon where the big ones keep hiring the very people that issue them contracts and letting them go back. They get cozy six-figure jobs or other perks for issuing contracts starting in the millions. Last write-up with lots of detail I saw here was this one on SAIC:

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2007/03/spyagency200703

There's also the Congress side where the contracts they're pushing bring jobs to their districts. One joke, which might be true, about the B2 was that the ridiculously-expensive project kept getting support since part of it is made in every state. I never confirmed if that one was true, though. Just remembered it as a funding strategy. ;)
Thanks very much! But someone else worked out the maths and the base kernel --- I just did the implementation (and loads of other people chimed in on microoptimisations). I _do_ think it may be the fastest 8-bit Mandelbrot in the world, although some of the stuff the C64 people have done is completely insane, so I'd want to check there first.

NSA knows they need the storage, they didn't just figure out they needed to store a lot of data to perform a massive buy. It would much easier for the manufacturer to disguise 5% of constant purchases through various techniques, they could hide it in all sorts of ways. Also the NSA could set up shell companies to consistently buy output (frequently done during the cold war when USA needed to buy supplies from Soviet aligned nations, USSR itself). The NSA could hide behind major buyers like Google and Amazon. If the plant shut down for false reasons literally thousands of plants workers would know if was false. That wouldn't accomplish anything.
You need to look at the size of the fire and how much spit everyone can produce. It might not be a viable solution. If so we, we should focus our energies on other solutions.

If we want to to beat climate change, we have to do the math. And then check it twice.
To be fair, most products and practices in the 1950's would be considered wildly dangerous by today's standards. Hell, we were still using leaded gasoline (gasoline with
tetraethyllead additive) up until the 90's. Think about how dangerous lead poisoning is and now imagine that we used to add it to gasoline and every gas powered motor was spewing vaporized lead. Good times.
Fully agree. And this is actually a well known fact. People following the rules perfectly as seen as losers in business. You are expected to break the ice with a more personal non textbook approach and therefore showing you are "street smart".
Probably not. If we could get rid of everyone except subsaharan Africa and Amazon people then that would really help.
Where do I attack the legitimacy of science? Could you please quote me?

The phrase, 'scientists say...' is often connected to hypotheses scientists have, which are partly backed up by models or proof. Often popular media falls back to "Johnny said X" to dumb down the complex findings for their ignorant viewership.

The following statements show that there is a proof:

- <person> proved <statement>
- <person> discovered <statement>
- <person> found <statement> evidence

Too many times I've looked up scientific results based on 'X said Y', only to find that the effect was more marginal than claimed, or purely hypothetical based on other findings. This is not isolated to climate change, but all of popular science.

> The current state of file encryption, which is practically the "hello world" of encryption problems, is a travesty.

Do you know of any projects that are aiming to solve this? It feels like all that is needed is a halfway decent standard file format, and some tools to bootstrap it.
That seems to be how we got TLS and SSH, which are the two successes of encryption.

I suppose those two protocols have the advantage of interactive negotiation. Whereas software encrypting a file does not get to negotiate any parameters with the software that will later be decrypting it.

Moreover, those protocols had some decent weight behind it. Secure data transport is a problem that matters to essentially everyone these days. Whereas secure and portable file encryption really does not. E-mail is a significant use-case, but only tangentially, and optimal E-mail solutions are not really optimal portable file solutions.
I suggest you read David Epstein's recent book Range: https://www.amazon.com/Range-Generalists-Triumph-Specialized...

His basic point is that our culture highly values the Tiger-Woods-style success story, where a person just beavers away at one thing their whole life. But there are a lot of successful people who specialize later or not at all. It definitely made me feel better about my similarly diverse resume, and has given me some good ways to think about what I want to pursue next.
There is a difference between parents who are absent because they don’t care, and parents who are absent because they have a lot of work to do. My dad worked overseas and was gone for 30-40% of the year when I was a kid. Grew up to have a great relationship with him, because when he was here he was always attentive. (Not in the sense of spending a lot of time with us—he worked 60 hour weeks stateside. But in the sense of always calling when we got home from school and generally being loving and supportive.)
Health clinics rarely trumpet themselves as solutions to brain injuries they clearly aren’t capable of working on.
The reasons I have a small number of smart bulbs are:

1. I want to be able to turn them off without getting out of bed to use the switch on the wall or the lamp, for the case where I fall asleep reading in bed.

2. I want good dimming. The dimmable LED bulbs I've found that work with regular incandescent dimmers have not been very good--they don't go as dim as I'd like and they often flicker a lot when dim. There are dimmers specifically designed for LED bulbs that may work better, but I don't want to replace my lamps.

The Philips Hue bulbs dim excellently. The TP-Link/Kasa bulbs and the Merkury Innovations bulbs, which I first experimented with (they are a lot cheaper than Hue, so I used them to check out the basic idea of smart bulbs) don't dim as well as Hue--their dimming is smooth and free of flicker, but they don't dim as much. 1% on an 800 lumen Kasa is quite a bit brighter than 1% on a Hue.

3. I want to be able to change the color temperature to match what I'm doing and the time of day.

Getting a smart switch, as opposed to a smart bulb, would only address #1.
Staging That Scene from ‘Eyes Wide Shut’
You're absolutely right that in the scheme of it all the impact may be small but there is climate change and there is also a huge problem of waste which needs addressing.

I agree that a single individuals actions will have minimal impact, but isn't it the individual that makes up the whole?

"Individuals changing their lifestyle isn’t going to accomplish anything."

Why do you say that?

Does any evidence exist that individuals making changes doesn't do anything?

For example, my partner and I no longer own cars, that's hopefully two whole cars off the road for practically a lifetime. Does this have zero impact ?

Also think of it this way, imagine if all of the people in the world right now who couldn't afford to fly, own cars and consume as much as you, could afford to do so and proceeded to do so without thinking about the consequences, it would be 2050 pretty quickly.

I agree legislation and emissions trading schemes etc are important but i don't see it happening fast enough just yet. So why not take some ownership of your own and do your best in the meantime ?
A solution to the IP address problem might be to write the IP address to the Linux file system when Linux boots, then read it from Windows as part of your SSH launch.

It's both. You can always invest in companies that make money and do less evil. Even better, mandate that they form as public-benefit companies or non-profits chartered to act like a profit-seeking business but minimize known forms of harm. Can get us some of the way. On buyer side, buy from ethical suppliers or just more ethical ones. My easy example is getting stuff from Costco vs Amazon if available at both. AFAIK, Costco isn't putting anyone in ambulances to avoid air conditioning or other major evils.

If executed properly, sure, but nobody was realy in charge and the politicians (not chosen for their qualifications for the task) didn't know how to this (or to do at all).
Instead of worrying about domestic production, how about entangling the two economies such that they can't afford to attack each other. Canada, USA, and Mexcio aren't going to start shooting at each other because any attack would ruin the attacker's supply chain -- and customer base.

This is similar to the NATO principle: entangle the countries' military objectives together but don't make it worthwhile for them to invest in actual military power -- essentials bribing them to not be able fight wars (this is why complaining that they don't pay "enough" is potentially destabilizing and could cost more later).

> So, it's hard for (very) small businesses to get a secure foothold,

While I can't speak to the what the big guys do, the government itself is an enemy of the smaller businesses from what I have seen.

Every government contract I have seen always has the equivalent of "We can cancel this contract and quit paying you money at any time."

That misaligns the incentives immediately.

1) A small company can't commit a significant fraction of its resources and risk getting yanked. Any small company that does is run by an idiot.

2) From the small company perspective, the primary useful goal is to do nothing as long as possible while collecting as much money as possible and deliver as little as possible to fulfill the contract. The ideal outcome is to do nothing and have the government actually yank the money and default on the contract. The secondary outcome is to collect all the money and do all the work in the last month of the contract.

3) The small company will pile everything into change orders and charge the government a fortune up front on those.

The problem here is that those are rational behaviors when the government behaves that way in its contracts.

It feels like we're at a point where simply dropping emissions down to 0 wouldn't be enough, we need to outright start pulling CO2 out of the atmosphere and have negative emissions. Given the way politics is right now, catastrophe feels inevitable.

Unless I am misunderstanding something, I would argue that belief is incredibly harmful if it is not true, as it will lead people to avoid trying to solve problems that they may actually be able to solve.
Doing the prototypes is one thing. Creating reliable machinery with the kind of duty cycle required by a Disneyland is still exceptionally hard with interesting animatronics.
I made the opposite choice. I'm a single father and I've prioritised my children over my career. I'm not going to pretend it's an amazing lifestyle. If you're intellectually driven then looking after two young children isn't fascinating. However, I love them and they rely on me. I made a choice to bring them into the world and I'm not going to neglect them. I have the kids more than their mother does, and I also pay significant child support as I earn far more than her.

It's affected my career choices. I started studying Comp Sci, as I felt it's a field where I can have more flexibility than my current field. This degree is getting closer and closer to completion and it's looking 95% likely that my career will be changing in January.

It's affected my love life too but I won't go into detail here.

One thing this article misses the mark on is the quote " I also remind myself that if I were a dad, I would be getting accolades for all the times I scheduled a doctor’s appointment or arranged a play date.".

My experience as a dad is that people simply don't trust my parenting skills or assume I'm simply helping the mum out. It's incredibly sexist and somewhat hurtful. There has been times I've been battling with my workload and then people drop innocent comments which feel like a knife in the back.
IANL but AFAIK, they have to pay 50% if they chose to enforce the non compete, i.e. you want to work for a direct competitor in the exact same field but now you can't. Otherwise they don't have to pay anything and you are free to work on whatever else you like.
Fuzix is amazing. I did a port to the MSP430, a Texas Instruments single-board computer with 66kB of RAM; it feels just like a Unix, despite having no MMU and no multitasking... http://cowlark.com/2015-10-27-fuzix

I find CP/M interesting because it's provably the minimum viable product for an operating system. It was the personal computer desktop operating system that really worked. It came with full documentation, a full development systems (an assembler and a debugger), and a full set of tooling to allow you to port CP/M to new systems. It was portable, too, and you could run the same program unmodified on nearly any hardware which supported CP/M. So it was this great open-ended system, cheap enough to get into the hands of ordinary people, simple enough that you could understand it all, and yet sophisticated enough that, with enough time, you could achieve _anything_ on it...

The CP/M kernel is 3.5kB of 8080 machine code. I think each frame of that video consumed more space than that.

Yeah, it would be. You want the user to stick their hand up in a lamp, with the power on? And try to poke a button with a sharp metal object?

I suppose you could add a big capacitor or battery so that it could be reset when not in the lamp, but that is non-trivial.

Not everyone needs to have kids. We've got more than enough humans already!

Parenting would also be easier on people if the US had sensible maternity/paternity policies and free childcare like we ought to have.
This is exactly the kind of story I'm taking about. I'm sorry about your experience, I don't doubt that you're real, but this is the kind of confirmation/hindsight bias that makes people misjudge risks. I expect you are an outlier, but I have no idea.

Might be interesting to poll random people that have websites with <100 unique visitors a month for this sort of thing to get us any sort of idea of how necessary an invasive CAPTCHA like Google's is.
