what do you mean exactly when you say think economically, not individually? because we already know the entire world creating solar panels/batteries, as you seem to be implying is the way forward, doesn't scale:

- we know that that effort would result in an uptick in carbon production (need to produce all this new stuff: factories, ship it everywhere, etc.)

- we also know that as energy gets cheaper, people use more of it

- there aren't enough rare earths to replace all transportation with EVs, and even if there were it's like 20% of emissions; this ignores rare earths needed for outside storage batteries/grid tech/...

the only solution - happens to be economic - is massive shedding of consumption by basically the entire population of the earth, and if you think your standard of living won't decrease many-fold you aren't being realistic.
Tipping over $10 on a $20 order is not anybody's idea of a "fair tip".
But your if-then exhibits no independent action. It just is. It can't "choose", it just takes input and gives a predetermined output based on that input.

If free will does not exist, you do not have a choice. It's disingenuous to both argue that free will does not exist and to proclaim that we should do anything. Or that we can make any sort of choice.
You do you.

However, plenty of people with sedentary lifestyles, which includes many who will read this, will have mobility issues that they may not be aware of without coaching. Sure nobody is going to do major damage with the empty bar, but the bar doesn't stay empty.

That said when I say coach I don't mean some random "functional fitness" type that a chain gym will push on you. I mean a powerlifting coach, ideally one who trains people for competition.
Being able to "price" something requires existence of a functional market.

Markets can only exist when contracts can be enforced.

Being able to enforce a contract requires monitoring and ability to issue fines, you also needs appropriate laws.

All of the above does not exist when it comes to ground water harvesting - especially in India and even in a police state like China.
This doesn't answer any of the questions asked.
I was put off of these because, the first time I saw them (in Washington state), they were advertised as “bikini” coffee shacks. I had a visceral reaction to this—it felt both creepy (What kind of person would work in such a place? What kind of person patronizes it?) and gross (non-zero probability of pubic hairs in the drink). I think strip clubs are problematic too, but they seem somehow more honest and less creepy because of their transparent purpose.

I’ve heard from others that these places have good coffee, but, perhaps unfairly, I am repulsed by them.
You seem to be making an argument based on what Microsoft says. But of course, what Microsoft says is not the reason for its decision.

Microsoft offers an academic discount because it thinks that getting students to use their products makes them more money as the students continue to use them later in life. Microsoft then SAYS they are offering that discount because students/degrees/training/teaching/whatever. What it SAYS doesn't matter. It's not the reason.

Similarly, Microsoft wants CERN to pay because it thinks it can make more money in licensing fees from CERN than it can from getting people at CERN familiar with Microsoft products. (Microsoft may have gotten this wrong, if CERN pushes more non-Microsoft products into the spotlight; whether they are wrong or right isn't at issue, their reasoning is the issue.) Once deciding they can make more money if CERN pays, now Microsoft has to come up with some reasonable-sounding reason that keeps its existing academic and industry customers happy.

So they came up with that reason. But don't think for a second the REAL reason has anything to do with anything but Microsoft's bottom line. Don't let them deceive you. This decision was made by executives at Microsoft by talking about profit.
This is one of these often repeated half-truths: See, for example, [1] and many many more.

The problem is no company wants that as they would essentially be required to publicly reveal their entire web of business partners, which is generally closely guarded as a source of competitive advantage.

This is the Great Asymmetry, as it were. They want to be able to invade your privacy and capitalize on your information, but will raise all Hell against being forced to reveal anything that could give anyone else a leg up on them.

Until this is reconciled via either a return to a non-invasive business environment, I.e. companies collect only enough state to do business with you, and the norm is not to data share, or companies are forced to explicitly reveal who they are doing business with in order to get explicit permission, abusive data harvesting/sharing will win the day.
Thank you for SI units. Some of us not living in the great country run by the universal moron understand this now better.
Was about to say the same thing. TE makes great products, but those had barely any impact on the music production world.

The quality of DAWs, the availability of great free VSTs, endless YouTube tutorials and tons of avenues for sharing one's work is what created the current environment of hyper productivity.

Interesting seeing this on HN the day after I ordered their OP-1.
TE is doing some really neat stuff. I am pretty excited to be able to play around with electronic music composition without being tied to a computer. Doing more with less might help me to not get distracted by all the shiny tools I could load onto my workstation. Also, having a portable unit makes it a lot easier to go out and collect/try new samples.
It might be helpful to put in some sample questions so people can try it out without having to enter their own data.
Once we hit trigger points like permafrost melting and releasing its 1500 Gigatons of stored carbon, there probably very little we can do.

Wish list:

- international employees (US, European countries)

- better support for employees across-states (they already do many things well in this regard)

- taxes

- general accounting

- atlas-type stuff (bank, incorporation)

- maybe a specialized account manager / team to handle the above (I guess it'd be region-based CPA/lawyers?)

Some of those are sophisticated things, but having one hub to view/manage it all from the top down would save oodles of time.

Aside: Gusto's support has been very helpful, even as an employee, when I contacted them directly they went out of their way to help me solve a payment issue.
The only thing I'll say is that I get annoyed by certain knee jerk anti-American, pro foreign sentiments. It can be a bit much. Especially when other countries are wrestling with the same issues, and may even be worse in some regards.

Otherwise, I agree. Specifically, the criticism of our health care system. How people can see no issue with it is beyond me. There's conservatives that literally think the problem is us treating people in the ER, instead of letting them die. Disgusting.

OP is completely off base on this issue. The examples he gave are not an apples to apples comparison. The idea that we wouldn't criticize an EU company for making boneheaded business/engineering decisions that cost lives is ludicrous.
Here, read about one of the many people detained and tortured by the United States who turned out to have absolutely nothing to do with terrorism.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khalid_El-Masri

A different Khalid al-Masri is a suspected member of al Qaeda. So they tortured the wrong Khalid. Oops.

This is why basic things like the right to a trial, open court proceedings that journalists can attend, the Geneva convention prohibiting torture, etc etc are so important.

To trust a government to decide guilt in secret is to be ignorant of history.

Gonna take this opportunity to plug an open source project I've been following for a bit: https://github.com/topisani/OTTO. Essentially, they are trying to create an open version of Teenage Engineering's OP-1.
Are you referring to the "will" feature of the protocol (as in 'last will and testament') in which the server sends a message to a topic on the client's behalf because it disconnected, or are you referring to the client simply sending a message before disconnecting as a definition of the client's behavior?
Richard Stallman said, "My hobbies include affection, international folk dance, flying, cooking, physics, recorder, puns, science fiction fandom, and programming; I magically get paid for doing the last one."

I don't see how you could be an intelligent, creative person and only be fixated on one thing your entire life. The smartest people I know have all sorts of creative outlets. I think I saw something that said a very large portion of Nobel prize winners are musicians, too.

Personally, I exercise because if I don't my mood suffers. It's a big problem, which I have found a solution to. Don't judge people.
Shopping centres. You can even have a beer! :D
The government has a different idea of what constitutes “broken” in this case. Of course adding a third party introduces additional risks. Two parties versus three parties: All can access the clear info; neither scenario is without risk. The goal is to find a solution that minimizes the risks of providing exceptional access.

Again, simply arguing that “it can’t be done”, which is of course theoretically true if the goal is to have zero additional risk by introducing a third party, isn’t going to stop such systems from being deployed, it will simply reduce the quality of such solutions due to talent refusing to work on the problem.

An idea that comes to mind: third party can’t trivially decrypt the data (maybe it requires substantial computation to decrypt) thus reducing practicality of bulk decryption. Make the exceptional access truly exceptional.

I agree that having a trivial way for governments to access encrypted comms at scale is bad; I don’t agree that governments should be completely locked out, without exception, of all comms deployed at scale by mega tech corporations.
Can you point me to a study that shows stretching has a statistically significant positive impact on injury rates?

I know it's the common school of thought, but the studies I've read have found it was beneficial for flexibility, ROM, and soreness but no statistically significant impact on injuries or performance (data is mixed positive and negative for performance).

Anecdotal data is useless, but I've been lifting relatively heavy for years with little to no stretching with no ill effects. I do use warm-up sets but no other warm-up/stretching techniques. However, I am definitely open to changing my routine when the data supports it.

Thanks tashi. Great point!
Deniers have already switched from "It's not happening" to "It's happening but not man made". I'm seeing some already switch to "It's is man made, but it's a good thing! look, the world is getting greener!".

I was going to say "It's an endless fight", but it isn't true. The fight will end when we all die. The horrors that are coming are unspeakable. During the famines in Russia during the civil-war starving mothers ate their children. Famine is our future. In the USA, we are already locking up climate refugees, many children, in cages.

Things are already starting to get bad and we aren't at 1.5C, or 2C, or the 3-4C we are projected to hit by end of the century.
Does market economics work if there's no way to prevent the tragedy of the commons?
They’re trivial wastes of a precious resource. Toilet flushing isn’t a significant consumer of potable water, and retrofitting multiple municipal water lines is expensive for the benefit.
I had not thought of the issue of noise. Assuming you have similar tread, and a similar contact patch to existing tires, wouldn't noise remain similar?
This is exactly what happens. Each team has their metrics that need to grow. Taken individually, it probably is the right move but when multiple groups optimize their little space, they end up drowning each other.

This is true of any large organization really. It's just that the blind insistence on data at the micro level makes the effect far more profound.
"Simply put, at this pace, there soon won't be enough data storage and compute material to go by. Which is why people have been looking into alternative storage media for data for a while now."

If this is true, then why is cloud storage so cheap? What's wrong with just building bigger data centers? Does anybody know what the technical benefit of this technology would be?

In any event, there's something amazing about humans using the same data storage that living organisms use.

My suggestion is to go by size of impact:

Rent may be your biggest spend, so focus on this first. However, do not move too far away as it takes away from your time.

Food can be expensive if you are buying out and using delivery. Buy food in bulk and prep once a week to save time and money.

Ride a bike is good if you are spending too much money on transportation. However, it is dangerous in NYC. Use the subway instead of cabs or Uber. Biking sometimes can also be healthy but be careful!

Looks like there's a lot of crossover with the "bikini barista" concept, which I could picture being off-putting to some. I guess that's another plus for a national chain— your morning coffee isn't going to turn out to be something embarrassing to have to explain to the kids in the back seat.
Why Didn't Plan 9 Succeed?

It is not the case that JSON numbers are "arbitrary precision". JSON numbers are in fact "implementation defined" precision. The technical and practical implication is exactly what was described in the article: Since precision is implementation defined (not uniform and with no lower-bound), JSON numbers make a poor vessel for inter-service communication.
Exactly - there's still plenty of people calling it "global warming" mocking people who don't understand or believe the science. We've hit the point where most (or at least more) people agree with the conclusions of the scientific consensus, but they don't remotely understand it, and they're mocking other people who don't understand it, and all we're achieving is getting a bunch of strawman arguments out there that are easy to discredit.

If I may share a simpler analog, it's like when I see people on social media mocking flat-earthers and saying, "how do you think cell phones work if satellites aren't real?" Okay - you agree the earth is near-spherical. That's great. But your lack of actual understanding just gave the flat-earthers a chance to point out that cell phones don't actually use orbiting satellites, make you look like you don't know what you're talking about, and win the argument. Now somebody who also doesn't understand is questioning the scientific consensus even more strongly.

You've in fact heard lots of reasonable sentences from conspiracy theorists, if you replace the nouns. I think it's less reasonable to believe in ZOG than to have the opinion that Gamergate appeared to be more about childish mockery and hatred than the more weighty concept of journalistic integrity. By the logic you're implying, we can't accept that anything is any more or less than exactly what it's most well-spoken proponents try to present it as.
"Merchants of Doubt: How a Handful of Scientists Obscured the Truth on Issues from Tobacco Smoke to Global Warming" by Naomi Oreskes and Erik M. Conway explains how the misinformation about climate change (and other topics) unfolded.
>The alleged conditions documented at the facilities follow a Homeland Security inspector general report that found "dangerous overcrowding" and unsanitary conditions at a different CBP facility in El Paso, Texas, where hundreds more migrants were being housed than the center was designed to hold.

>The El Paso Del Norte Processing Center housed as many as 900 migrant detainees earlier this month despite only having a recommended capacity for 125.

9x over capacity. What exactly are you expecting? The implication that this treatment is intentional is pure political bias. In any case these conditions are not a secret and people continue to voluntarily make the illegal journey. Who is responsible here?

That said, the actual ACLU CBP report was enlightening, detailing abuses going back to 2014 when the CBP program lowered standards during rapid expansion. It's hard to trust other modern news sources like those you provided because of their heavy political slant and propensity for sensationalism.
Yet companies build plants on the Great Lakes, hoover up all the water, filter it, bottle it, and sell it to the unsuspecting, who happily buy it.

I never ever saw bottled water as a kid in Europe. It wasn't until I moved to the US where it appeared to be commonplace. When I went back home to England last year, they've got it in every supermarket I visited. Sad, really. I still just drink out of the tap here in Texas.
The largest water user, at least in California, is agriculture. Fortunately they're now planting fewer acres of low-value crops such as cotton. But other crops use an insane amount:

1 walnut 4.9 gallons
1 almond 1.1 gallons
1 pistachio 0.75 gallons

And it looks like Palm Springs is a big water user. Must be all those golf courses?

I had a boss that was a good programmer and would work late into the night on pet projects. A true coder. But he'd get so stressed out he'd yell at team members every time things went wrong. Communication was poor and the whole team suffered from it.

You need to devote a "non-trival" amount of time becoming a well rounded person or everything else is going to suffer, including your ability to maintain relationships in the workplace and communicate. That's way more important than knowing all the arcane details of the Java virtual machine.
… they open sourced it in THIS timeline, at least.
If it makes you feel any better, California is perfectly capable of doing all that, but they still don't, and are stuck in a tragedy-of-the-commons type water shortage where farmers will gladly waste $1 of water to produce 5 cents of crops, because the alternative is to get nothing.
Fair, there's usually a good reason they're sanctioned heh.

In many places graywater is not recycled. So we have improvements that can be done there.

Well said. In addition to simply being naive, I think there is also the self-delusion that everyone subscribes to when they convince themselves that their job (no matter what it is) is somehow helping contribute something good to the world. I had a relative that worked as a telemarketer selling predatory debt consolidation packages to people on the verge of bankruptcy and when he described what he was doing, he enthusiastically framed it like he was helping the people from going bankrupt, even though he was just helping them dig a bigger hole.

If your company is a public corporation, your only purpose is to maximize shareholder value.
Content farms. Maybe they have a vested interest in making all search results completely suck?
Somehow I have zero ads on instagram. I don't know how that happened, but I suspect it has to do with a period of time on facebook where I was just marking every ad as not relevant to me. Everytime I visited, I'd let their system know that any type of ad doesn't suit me.

So maybe that tricked the system? My only other theory would be that they somehow know I wouldn't use the service at all if it had ads. I'm a fickle user who happens to produce some quality, original artwork for their service.
Scandinavian countries as well.
