Remember there are costs on both sides. The US had ~35k traffic fatalities each year. If you put a 5mm value on a life (roughly what the insurance companies do) then that is 185 billion in cost every year. Cutting that in half saves nearly a trillion dollars and almost 200,000 lives. It’s a huge moral and economic imperative to do this.

But because I don't believe we have "12 years" or that we're on the cusp billions dying off if we don't buy Teslas doesn't make me a denier.

I will typically upvote comments that elaborate, translate (DSL>English), or opine with corroborating evidence. The last I will try and do regardless of direction. I especially will upvote where one person offers a well written comment and another offers a well written rebuttal. I will upvote both as I want to promote what I consider a “healthy” discussion. I will sometimes downvote based on (poor) form irrespective of content. That’s because there’s always a way of getting your point across with being a jerk. Given that one can make a point without being a jerk, the choice to be a jerk is therefore a gratuitous attack in the person, and whether you’ve also attacked the substance becomes almost irrelevant at that point.

> If insetcs ever become a staple protein source, you can rest assured that they will be consumed by all the poor people. Rich people will keep eating as much beef as they please.

Yeah, so what? The rich have always done as they pleased. This will only change when the revolution comes.

> [...] to disenfranchise and humiliate the majority of the population, by throwing them scraps.

Protein is protein. I happily eat heart and intestines and liver and brain and tongue and whatever parts of an animal there are. Just as almost all my ancestors (and yours, for that matter) did. As long as it's free of disease and contaminants, I'm fine with that.

You have to understand that this picking of choosing of "better" or "worse" food is only possible because of an incredible, unsustainable exploitation of our natural habitat. We are killing our own biological support system. This has to stop.

> At the same time, perfectly good food goes to waste because market forces, rather than any taboo about consuming certain types of food, demand it.

I don't propose we let any food go to waste. I propose we use more efficient means to produce enough calories for everyone on this planet, so we can all prosper without the predatory exploitation of the ecosystem that is required nowadays.

That said; beef and mutton and pig is way too cheap. How about we actually include all the externalized costs in the price and let the market work it out?
Do you allow inbound traffic from your home network to your IoT network in order to control IoT devices or do you have to switch WLAN connection when you want to do so?
Just left big tech after seeing an entire branch of the company go this direction. Zero management skills, either you didn't hear from them for weeks at a time or they'd be on you aggressively... nothing in-between. Also, zero training when being on-boarded.

The problem was everyone on an H1B visa would work any hours, pick their phone up 24/7 etc. Effectively they were always on-call and for a lot of the local/US engineering talent we disagreed with the "always-on" culture they brought. They also contributed to that "always-on" culture by never finishing work, pushing deliverables out the door with zero security review, no documentation etc. It's also worth mentioning these budget teams of H1B "engineers" come in and create their own cyclical work by constantly fixing problems they caused. This is what happens when you treat engineering and management as a "cost center" :(

Mostly though, it was insane to hear how blatant they were with bigoted comments, like "we don't hire _those_ kind of Indians", and "if it wasn't for foreign talent we'd have none at all." I felt the need to speak up on this one but when you're a middle-aged white male you're not afforded the right to speak up on any of this without being IMMEDIATELY labeled a racist (hence the throwaway!).
What You Lose When You Gain a Spouse
In my previous company we had one Indian employee. He had been in the company for years and did very solid work. When my boss hired another Indian group manager, he assigned the employee in question to that guys project. First the new group manager was not shaking hands with him, not communicating with him properly etc. We found out that the previous employee was from a lower caste, and that the new group manager refused to work with him. The group manager was then fired.

However this requires that the person in charge actually nips this kind of behaviour in the bud. And the group manager had a 15 year career in a very big company. So apparently he could do what he did without a problem for 15 years.

Of course the other employee (that we kept) was not happy about this "system".

There was. And it was really bad there, and deserved to be called out. Likewise women in programming, etc... For the same reason, it's bad here, and pointing out the bias is certainly not "a hit piece against Indians".

Can you define often? It seems quite rare actually for a malware to be distributed online without user intervention, with the recent Firefox 0-day being one of theses cases and only touched a small proportion of people.

The web is quite secure already and sure ads network is a good vector but so is Hacker News, Reddit and Facebook, which nobody cares about (have you ever not clicked on a link on any of theses platforms and looked at the URL first?).

I seriously hate that argument of security, it's just wrong.

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. If you want to support an alternative source of funding for content, then this appears to be a great positive step towards an internet without tracking and invasive advertisements, promoted by the only alternative to Google in the browser market.

If you want to take a philosophical stance, you should reject the tracker and leave websites that don't adhere to your strict criteria.
Left wing politics has had marginal effect on California relative to the huge destructive power of Prop 13. Its passage immediately led to the local governments needing to be subsidized by the state government and a massive transfer of wealth in the ensuing years from renters to landowners. That Prop 13 also tied the hands of the legislature in changing tax code led to most subsequent programs being funded by ballot initiatives that earmarked all funds for specific programs, even if those programs later became lower priority, and those ballot initiatives that were funded by bonds tied up the general fund to leave very little left over for your Boogeyman left wing politicians to affect.

I think it's impossible to make an objective judgement about whether more key travel is better or worse. Personally I got used to the new keyboard in a couple of hours, and never thought key travel again. I do like the "clickiness" of the keys, but I don't really care how far I have to press it.

I would say the toucbar is a completely useless liability, and the poor durability of the keyboard is an issue, but if they were able to produce a butterfly keyboard which worked reliably and had a physical escape key it would be more than fine for me.

"This made up myth about the parties switching because of the CRA is completely bogus."

The USA's two major parties had previously flipped alignment every 70 years. We're overdue.

Contemporaries conflate liberal / conservative, left / right, Democrat / Republican (nee Whig). A less wrong mental model is that parties are coalitions.

LBJ understood this and correctly predicted that CRA would result in the white supremacists switching from Democrat to Republican.

The big political science mystery now is why each party's coalition has become more homogeneous. Where a voter's position on one issue (abortion) is a very strong predictor for many other issues (climate crisis). Stated another way, the need for an explanation for why so many policy issues have become partisan issues.

Why am I being down voted? All I did was point out a bias they have. It's a serious concern that certain groups of people are being shut out of technology and society. I probably shouldn't have used The Daily Stormer since it's a little controversial, but I used it since it has a history of being censored. I think all people should be able to have equal footing from neoliberals, to Islamic clerics, to Nazis. inb4 paradox of tolerance, Popper himself said "suppression would certainly be unwise."

I also never said Mozilla has to support The Daily Stormer or any other right wing outlet, I only ever pointed out their bias.
In my experience, US$5/CPM is about right for general content focused on an industrialized market, but:

1) it’s based on page views where ads are rendered. So ad-blocked users aren’t in the denominator.

2) most of that revenue is driven by clicks, not ad views. So users like me, that rarely click on ads, ever, probably earn publishers about 50cents/cpm.
>Unless you’re Indian, don’t even think about applying to Microsoft, Hewlett Packard, Adobe, many federal and state gov’ts, Google, Apple, T-Mobile, Dell, etc.

That's it guys. Pack it up, this Quora commenter is omniscient. To solve this problem at Microsoft, fire Satya Nadella because he's from Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh. After all, he's a no-talent and was only hired by a board of Telugu speaking Brahmins because he belonged to their caste, right?

Wonder what other narratives can be built from cherry picked frog-in-the-well anecdotes on Quora? Pretty much anything you want to.

Here's the truth: A high percentage of resumes you normally get are Indian. Plus, the green card situation has made it hard for such folks to switch jobs, so they are almost guaranteed to work for several years reducing training costs. Some anecdotes in the article may be true but apply to only very specific cases. Trying to apply this to a broad set of people from one region in India is a conspiracy theory with no footing.

Infosys, Tata, HCL etc. will recruit anyone as long as they can pay them less, and make more money from them. Also, the courts have ruled that workplace discrimination based on immigration status is legal. i.e You can legally dump more work on someone that's not a citizen, because they're not a citizen.

As an aside, all the grammatical mistakes in the article don't inspire confidence in the author.
What are you referring to by the word "we"?

If by "we" you're referring to those like the parent comment (no pun intended) who aren't having children, it's presumably to help save the environment for those children that will grow up in the world that we leave behind.

If by "we" you're referring to a hypothetical scenario where the entire human species stops reproducing and hence ceases to exist, then I think you're in the wrong place because (as far as I'm aware) this is a discussion about actual people taking individual actions in the real world.

Is it possible you were thinking you had to bottom out the keys on a mechanical keyboard? Good switches have a fairly long travel, but it's important to note they're not designed to be bottomed out, they're designed to be pushed to the activation point and then released. Where that activation point is may be harder to detect on some switches, but "clicky" switches like Cherry Blues have a strong tactile indicator.

If I had filed a bug report I would have then had to gather logs and other such things to get the developers whatever information they need to fix it, and frankly I just don't care about helping them fix it enough to bother with that.

I generally agree with you - I don't think that you can survive well on just plants. At the same time I think that modern people eat way more meat than people used to eat in any other period of history, and probably much more than is necessary.

For example, the way I understand it, how people used to eat where I'm from (Greece) in the past is that they fed themselves very well on pulses, legumes, vegetables, fruit, plenty of fish, metric shittons of olive oil, and then only ate red meat in religious feasts, where a lamb or an ox would be sacrificed in ancient times, or just roasted on a spit and eaten whole, offal and all, in more modern times.
A cultural change is one way to do it. But another way is to offer compelling technology that, as a side benefit to the average consumer, is also more environmentally friendly.
Examples could be Tesla (many people buy Tesla cars because they like the car, but they can reduce CO2 emissions), Loop (packages look nicer, and are reusable) or pretty much every energy startup that promises lower electricity costs without using fossil fuels.

I actually run my setup in clamshell mode while connected to the eGPU and just use one big display. So I'm not a great person to provide a testimonial there. But I have periodically run with the MBP display open and enabled. The biggest difference is a subtle but noticeable improvement in user interface latency, which is interesting given the video signal is going out over an additional cable.

My understanding is that for the 15" MBPs, the built-in discrete GPU would always be used to drive an external display. So the following doesn't apply for them. But the 13" MBPs have the built-in Intel graphics and you can definitely feel a difference driving even one bigger external display using Intel graphics vs something more substantial like an AMD Polaris (RX580/RX590) or Vega cards.

Your inflammatory rhetoric is completely unwarranted. Terrorism is "the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes", per dictionary.com. This isn't that. This is more pretending that there is nothing to be afraid of for economic reasons. That is, it is something almost totally unlike terrorism, even if it eventually results in a large number of deaths.

That said, greed and incompetence can be just as deadly as malice. And that's what this is - legislative greed and/or incompetence. It would be lovely to get rid of politicians for that. Unfortunately, you'd have to get rid of almost all of them...

Steve Jobs used to constantly claim that Mac’s RISC processors were much faster than Intel, until the day Mac adopted Intel, then without blinking he said they are now much faster and never looked back.

Same for me, if your website cause excessive bloat with their ads, then I'll just avoid it (unless that content is worth the excessive bloat, like Youtube ads).

As soon as I can pay for the content instead, I do it.

Ads is just another way to pay... if it's too bloated (thus too expensive) you just don't get it, or go find something less bloated (aka less expensive), that's it.
People should really stop complaining about the dongle situation.

Just about any portable device can be bought with USB-C or wireless. For fixed desk hardware (keyboard, mouse, monitor, ethernet) you should use a TB dock anyway.

Yes, if you do presentations you probably need a dongle for the projector, but that has always been a mess anyway (VGA, HDMI, DP, DVI, it's never the same connection as your laptop).

Yes, if you use a camera you'll need an external SD card reader, but you'll need that for many other computers too.
