I find it unlikely as well and don't blame them (they have a huge brand identity to protect) but I don't think this sort of concept really works unless it's available everywhere ad revenue is. The unique value to the end user is "an ad free web" not "a web content curator".

The trackpad makes it impossible for me to use a non-Apple laptop (I particularly love the haptic ones) - if anything else comes close I would love to try it.
I remap Command to Caps, because I got used to Ctrl being there as a Sun admin, and now Command usually works where I expect Ctrl. At least Apple makes it easy to remap, though you have to remap every mechanical keyboard you own. ;-) I can't believe that it still takes a registry hack (and a re-login) on Windows.
I was suggesting Disallow to make sure Google doesn't request it ;) I don't know if any bots look at robots.txt to see potentially interesting URLs. I do when I take a better look at sites, but I usually don't qualify as a bot.

My experience is that most bots just hit the usual suspects, /wp-login.php, /phpmyadmin/ etc, regardless whether they are in robots.txt or not.
Honeybees are the only bees that live in hives. Unless this guy is European (based on his tropical forest rehab, I doubt it) then they are certainly not a central part of the ecosystem.

"Other excessive bloat" often includes malware. Less seriously, it also includes autoplay video and scams.

If ads were safe (i.e. text-only, no JavaScript, no video) and the publishers actually vetted the products, I wouldn't block them. I don't care that a physical NYT has ads. It's the algorithmic sale and distribution of ads that broke the model.

In practice, we’re trying for perfect over good. Let’s say I’m a low income family and I’m trying to buy a house. Adding 10% might price me out of the new market and into an older house. Yes, the goal was to give people more insight into recurring costs, but now you’ve pushed them into older stock that may have maintenance costs that are an order of magnitude higher than the electric bill.
Yeah, the editorial titling was definitely clickbaity. That's why I always come to the comments first on HN if an article sounds sensationalistic.
Nothing geeky. Just the basics. First, educate yourself. For example, food waste is a huge contributor to carbon output. So I don't ever throw out food anymore. Anything remotely close to going off goes in the freezer for soup. Since I buy groceries almost every day, I don't have much to keep track of in the first place. I work remote. I walk and ride my bike everywhere and rarely use a car. I avoid disposable plastic whenever possible. I'm intentionally not a very "good" consumer. For example, I have about ten t-shirts and two dress shirts. They last me years. That's my entire wardrobe for shirts. Cutting down on air miles has been hard because I love travel, but I have done it. It also doesn't hurt that I already live in a country that is over 80% renewable when it comes to electricity. I also try to encourage others to take personal responsibility. IMO, this isn't a technology problem. It's a cultural problem. We already have everything we need to fix this. It's a matter of public will.
Classic refer-a-friend scheme
Apple got their multitouch capacitive screen technology from a company called FingerWorks that used to produce keyboards. The keyboards were apparently popular with some people with RSI.

After the sale to Apple, they stopped producing keyboards and prices for anything that remained skyrocketed to $1500.

https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=3940.0

Maybe that’s an idea, simply get 2 iPad Minis and display keys on them for a full keyboard. You could angle them and redraw the keys however you want. If you really need tactile feedback, just place the keys on top. No need to wire them up.

I quit my tech job at the end of last year, and have been working since then to find the most impactful ways that I can combat climate change.

I'm currently looking into energy storage, particularly batteries, and how to effectively create grid-scale storage to improve the electrical grid and facilitate the uptake of renewable energy.

In the mean time, I started https://www.forgethefuture.com/ to compile resources for others, and I run a newsletter off the back of that to keep people up to date with policy, activism and technical changes in the space (https://forgethefuture.substack.com/ if you want to sample it :)). I want to make it easier for people to understand where the biggest problem areas are and how they can be tackled. I'm also a part of https://techimpactmakers.com/ - a community which brings together technologists concerned about the environment.

As others have said, we have almost all of the technological tools to fix this problem, but government policy moves to slowly to rely on. We need a combination of physical solutions (think the Tesla of energy/agriculture/etc - make a solution that's better than the competition _and_ greener) and activism - showing governments that we care.

Would you say that this is because the alternatives aren't as good, or because your workflow is tied towards using Mac?

In my case, I think it's definitely the latter. For Ruby dev I could switch to Debian tomorrow and probably be fine, especially since most of the stuff I work on from day to day uses Docker. That won't stop my workplace from buying MBP's, though..
>About to hit 1MM kilos of saved surplus stock,

That's impressive! You've got a good market there given the basically decades-long drought too, I imagine the impact is far greater there than it would be in many other countries.
Wow... from 'atlatl' to the fire sticks... it's like we were in Scouts together. Thanks for the memories.
I'm just another armchair economist, but in a market based system the risk IMO is that the insuree grabs the preventive offers from insurer A and a few years later wanders off to a competitor with cheaper rates for that age bracket. So insurer A has no real incentive to prevent illnesses because in the long term, all insurees will switch anyway.
If they fail to recover the first time, that would be excellent. (the pilot thinks "wow, this is hard and I need to learn..")

Pilots do not like to die. If the first attempt was incorrect, they will do it again. and again. and again.

A crew that was unsuccessful would not leave the training device until they had mastery of the situation. (and, the airline would not let them fly)

For a single crew, the simulator time is very cheap. very cheap * 10,000 crew members shows up on a spreadsheet; thus the avoidance of simulator training by management.
>...how can I judge the impact my food choices have on biodiversity?

You can't, and neither you nor anyone else in this thread has any idea what to do about the insect apocalypse. Seems like insecticides, but we really don't know! Has insecticide use really increased that much since the 80s across the west? Doesn't seem likely. Maybe it is one specific insecticide used in growing X? Maybe some other chemical? Could be monoculture, disease, something that's already in the environment we can do nothing about; maybe it's solar panels and windmills (seriously -it's possible, and it would be ironic), maybe it's a change in drainage patterns, suburbanization, some chemical now commonly used in housing (or for all we know, skincare), changes in automotive shapes (maybe streamlined cars are more lethal to bugs somehow), or maybe insects are all "eff you, stupid apes, we're leaving before the Vogon constructor fleet gets here."

As for individual choice; as difficult as it may be for people to believe after a century of "do your bit" propaganda starting from the first world war; your actions may have no bearing on the matter. Telling people what to do when you don't know doesn't help, and acts as a sort of psychological purity ritual. Like the recycling that ends up shipped to Indonesia and dumped into the ocean; you may be making things worse. FWIIW this kind of crap was often used to give people something to do and distract them from real problems: most of the WW-2 "scrap" campaigns for the war effort were useless.

FWIIW I'm pretty sure the insect apocalypse isn't happening in northern Spain. The last time I was driving around there, the number of bugs on my windshield reminded me of when I learned to drive in the 80s. It is anecdata, but it was striking enough to be worth looking into.
I'm very sorry to disagree, in my opinion this is nitpicking. Yes, you cannot live from wheat alone, insofar you are correct. But that was not the point of my reply.

The point of my reply - to flesh it out - was that you need only use about 10 percent of the area required for cattle if we instead consume these calories directly. That doesn't have to be wheat, it can be peas, beans, nuts, beets, potatoes, celery and on and on.

If you are concerned about nutrients, there's always chickens. Chickens are so vastly more efficient when it comes to land use than cattle, it's not even funny anymore. I hope that we soon have some reasonable supply chain of non-vertebrate protein (i.e. insects) at an affordable price.

Thanks for your reply!

Edit: I'm not a vegan, by the way. Not even a vegetarian. I enjoy the taste of meat and especially beef. But I'm convinced that the amount of resources we spend on meat - especially on beef - cannot be justified by anyone in good conscience.

I really don't know how one can come to this conclusion. Apple people bitch about _everything_ that changes. I think the one and only exception might be any time that they added retina screens to something.

It is a lot of noise compared to my flaretech red switches. It is a lot of noise compared to my current and previous MBPs are previous ThinkPads.

Also, I even have my TouchPad on silent (I prefer than over the < 2015 versions even though the 2014 have less design flaws).

You prefer it, I don't. Many others prefer it, many other's don't. Like the touchbar, it was a controversial change. But if it then turns out to break regularly, then it is better to return to the previous design.
I am sat here trying to work on a computer with about 8 buttons loose and two buttons which double press.

I've had the keyboard replaced once already for exactly the same problem, but I'm a contractor and Apple can take weeks to repair the keyboard so I'm probably going to be stuck working like this for a while longer - at least until I take holiday.

It's far from acceptable for a $2,000 [pro]fessional machine.

Belief in this statement requires a degree of trust in facebook.

At worst you can just run the decompression algorithm while piping the output into the void, only counting the length. If you want to be slightly more efficient you can probably write an optimized stream parser for the compressor's format and sum up the lengths of dictionary/literals/back-references while skipping any other processing, but that depends on how amenable to fast-forwarding the stream format is.

If the goal is to avoid zip bombs you can't get any more sloppy than that because then an attacker could exploit inaccuracies in your estimator.
I love my Carbon X1, especially because of it's excellent keyboard. Unfortunatly the same can not be said about it's touchpad which causes constantly accidental clicks while typing.

A combination of Lenovo's keyboard and Apple's touchpad would make a strong combination.

I don't think it's quite the same. The influencers are at least purporting to offer a trade value for value. Maybe they aren't actually offering value, maybe some of them are even knowingly not providing value, but that's fraud not begging. A beggar says give me something because I want it without even a pretense of offering anything in exchange.

Why did you apparently read "getting women into more leadership positions" and interpret it as "getting women into all leadership positions?"

For that matter, why did you read an argument predicated on masculine versus feminine leadership styles as they relate to environmentalism and social empathy (which can be reasonably argued against) and reduce it to mere exclusionism based on genitalia?

The Haber-Bosch process consumes around 1% of energy the world generates.

"Industrial farming is tapping underground aquifers faster than they can be replenished, threatening global water supplies. Nitrates from fertilizers contaminate drinking water. Agricultural runoff rich in nitrogen and phosphorus has created hundreds of dead zones in coastal waters around the world. And then there's the toll taken on the Earth from the sheer number of human beings we can now feed." https://phys.org/news/2014-06-humans-derailed-nitrogen-track...

"He concluded that 40 percent of the global population in 2000 were dependent on food production from synthetic fertilizers." https://ourworldindata.org/how-many-people-does-synthetic-fe...

I don't think telling the poor to have less children is very appropriate since the rich are the ones who pollute the most, even when they are environmentally-conscious. However, we should be aware that it is technology that is sustaining population growth, and that technology is emitting entropy into the systems life on earth depends on. It should be scaled back.

Now I'm neither of the parents (comment parents) here, but I'm myself torn on the issue.

On one hand, having children will contribute to the overall higher consumption, meaning the environment eventually will suffer from the increase in population.

On the other hand, having children and raising them as good as you can, can offset the impact (or even have a better impact on climate change as a whole, even though the increase of consumption) other people have on the environment, if you "train" your child(s) to care for the environment.
> In 2017, 47 percent of adults said they were extremely proud of the United States...The 76 percent of Republicans who expressed extreme pride in the latest survey is 10 points off the high of 86 percent in 2003. “Even when Barack Obama was in office,” Brenan writes, “Republicans’ extreme pride never fell below 68 percent.”... Lately, though, Democratic pride has fallen off a cliff. Just 22 percent of Democrats say they feel extreme pride for their country in the latest survey. That’s half the number recorded prior to the 2016 election.

https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/gallup-democrats-drive...

So when their candidate is in office, extreme pride in the US is about 76% for GOP, 44% for DEM. When out of office it's around 68% GOP, 22% DEM.

That would seem to make a 4th of July celebration a largely partisan event.

I’ve been involved in the trading of weather and catastrophe risk (I.e. trading instruments such as bonds or derivatives where the payout is linked to weather parameters, or insurance losses caused by natural hazards such as hurricanes/earthquakes). In my experience, it has become clear that there is a lot of muddled thinking about climate predictions, scenarios and the significance of single extreme events.

Also, while there is a lot of public weather and climate data out there, there are a lot of data quality or provenance issues which make it hard for professionals, let alone the general public, to confidently make use of it and trust what it says. Also, the general lack of public understanding allows non-experts to take data and generate erroneous conclusions.

I try as much as possible to educate and communicate around these issues and help clients have more confidence in data.

Another are where there is a lot of muddled thinking is with respect to the ESG factors which are increasingly used by investors to assess Environmental, Social and Governance issues. There are a lot of ESG data vendors who essentially peddle meaningless metrics which add to the confusion.
I own MacBook 12 inch with 2nd gen of this keyboard from 2017 and actually like it more than on MacBook Pros that I got from a company I worked for. It seems to be a bit different, like click is smaller and is quieter. In MacBook 12 it matches whole laptop philosophy of being the thinest and lightest and even has smaller trackpad that you doesn't accidentally touch while typing.
