Of course. And in a well functioning society, you'd be able to move to a competitor if you were treated badly enough.

But of course, that won't happen for much longer, because we love our monopolies (yay FAANG or utility companies etc.)
I don't see anything surprising.

To remove carbon from atmosphere it must be sequestered. Sequestration means it is no longer available to go back to the atmosphere. It means it can no longer be part of cycle of life, it must be removed and prevented from getting back in the cycle.

The reason we have more carbon in atmosphere is not that we have felled trees but that we have dug out a bunch of carbon (coal, oil, gas) that for a long time was not taking part in the cycle.

What is surprising is that supposedly intelligent people still don't get the basic facts right.
> I wonder if they're regretting not taking the 30 billion Google was offering.

I know this was Google's "we need to turn into a social thing, G+ all the way" era and everything but good god, 30 billion, that figure was insane. Even if you go with "but major social app are worth a lot" just comparing it with how much was paid for whatsapp and instagram makes it even crazier.
There’s nothing cryptographic about this. It’s a central authority that either says “yes it’s real” or not. The system revolves around trust in that central authority. Everyone can easily fake a certificate which cannot be independently falsified without asking that central authority, who will be more likely to check their books than to do anything related to the actual certificate.
Just upload stuff you might need from an unsafe area from a private gitlab repo. Encrypt it if you like. Change the gitlab password when you're back (or just delete the account if you're paranoid).
The reliance on facebook where I live now in Denmark is disgusting. I lived in SV for 4 years, and basically any information of importance reached me by word-of-mouth or mailing list. Craigslist is also used and awesome.

Worst is that information meant for public dissemination, like training times or open event details, are now de facto private and require login. I've gone from logging in once every 3 months to once a week. AND messenger on mobile requires mbasic.facebook.com. /rant
I almost bought a restaurant. Even the good ones like McDonald's aren't great. They're a lot of hard work to keep alive, very low profit margins, easily influenced by little things like 6% tax.

It's the kind of thing you put half a million dollars into and earns about $10k/month on average, loses $10k/month on a bad month, and teases you with the possibility of making $100k/month on paper.

It also requires a lot of accounting and dealing with minimum wage workers who have to be trained in basic etiquette, like not sleeping during rush hour and not throwing drinks at rude customers. Which is not really the niche for many of us.
Your examples have an interesting pattern.

> How much was a dose of penicillin, an iphone or a flight to New York in 1819? There's a very real sense in which very average Westerners now are far wealthier than Darcy.

One's wealthiness is always relative to others. The items listed here are goods that are broadly available today across wealth bands, and are therefore not markers of wealthiness.

> Conversely Darcy would have had far more power than the someone with net worth £16.8-28m would today. He'd probably have had a large say in who the local MP was, the local priest. Probably could turf a large chunk of the local population out of jobs and homes. Likely had a small army of servants.

Power is a great (the ultimate ?) example of a resource whose access and distribution can be compared over time.

Power over others has never been quantified like monetary wealth has, yet it is intrinsic to humans given we are a highly social species. For people like Darcy, such power over others was a hereditary birthright. You couldn't buy a share of that power as an investment. Therefore, there was no market that could estimate the monetary value of that power.
Do you know a good alternative?
Sounds fair on paper, but when a corporation reaches such monopolistic heights like Google, they can simply wipe you from existence, but making them utilities doesn't make sense at all.

There needs to be some level of complaints and appeals - and this needs to be mandatory via regulation. Unfortunately, not politically viable.

I can see that there is no variable of "fees" which usually applies even on a LIMIT order.
For example Coinbase Pro has Maker fees of 0.15%. Ideally this fees should be added to BUY order and subtracted from SELL order, as that will actually cost you.

"On average", no forest produces or consumes any CO2 or O2 unless the biomass is somehow sequestered, for example buried under volcanic ash or on the bottom of anoxic lake which would typically prevent it from decomposing.

The forest binds some amount of carbon and oxygen for a time being but then it is released back when it burns or decomposes, etc. It is really insignificant when compared with steady flow of carbon from fossil fuels.
If 2. breaks when you do 3., you roll back to 1. If you rolled back to the one before 1, then the values that 3 emitted may still be in the system, causing it to break. When you do 3, you're really testing 2 and 1 is the fallback. If you did 1 and 2 together, then you can't roll back just 2 on its own.
I think I was mainly trying to avoid risking that anyone reads this and thinks past performance is an indication of future performance.

Yes. Ideally this would be an automated process, since it'd be tedious to grep every time you're messing around with logging, and you may sometimes forget to do it. If you're forwarding logs to something like ELK or Splunk, you can set up an alert / scheduled search to continuously check for those canary credentials every few minutes.
They both exist for a reason. JSON is really nice for your quick proof-of-concept where you have relatively few developers working on a small system. Up to a point, this also scales well.

On the other hand, if you have many developers, and the problem space starts converging toward scale, then certainly the problem space is different. Encoding of data cannot follow the language with the weakest type zoo, and efficiency starts to matter.

The hard part is to know when to make the switch, or when to anticipate growth in advance, such that you pick the right tool for the job.

It isn't just a question of the machine. For complex messaging, the added value of a well-defined message typing, provided by protobuf, will help. It will also remove a lot of problems if you have multiple different languages in the stack, talking to each other.
"His role cannot be understated"

Is this a typo or another think you crazy Americans do backwards, like "I can hardly wait"
The one thing I’ve always wanted from a language runtime is for the data structures used by the compiler to be exposed in the stdlib. E.g. every compiler uses control flow graphs; so why doesn’t every language give me a batteries-included digraph ADT, that has every feature you’d need to implement a control flow graph, such that the compiler’s CFG is just a stdlib digraph instance? It’d be a great boon to writing your own compilers, interpreters, JITs and static-analysis tools in said language.

(One language that does some of this is Erlang, but AFAIK the stdlib data structures like digraphs, sets-of-sets, etc. aren’t actually the ones the compiler uses, but are rather there for use by static verification tools like Dialyzer. Which means that the Erlang digraph doesn’t know how to topsort itself, even though there’s a module in the Erlang compiler application that does topsort on digraphs. Still feels like being a second-class citizen relative to the runtime’s favoured compiler.)
Jackson CVE-2019-12384
Fair enough, it won't happen automatically, but maybe instead of wasting money on subsidising biofuels, building non-effective renewable installations, funding additional border patrol or helping refugees, the rich countries can focus on helping the poor countries to build irrigation infrastructure and to become rich.
For compute, during the autonomy day video they mention they use their own clusters, because they've designed their own "full self driving computer" with a custom set of neural network accelerator ASICs. So to do test runs on their own driving computers, of course, they need to build their own machine clusters.

Custom built clusters can be much cheaper than the cloud anyway.

For storage, they say they actually pull data on demand from the fleet. They have NNs that can detect similar-looking stuff to input samples, so if they want more videos of construction sites they just ask the fleet to send them more videos of construction sites. Actual storage of all video isn't required except for their test suites.

Snapchat (the app) was the only app which had stories so it was unique by definition. The main problem though is that I’m uncomfortable using Facebook‘s apps because of their disrespect for user’s privacy and data.

Also, Snapchat’s app has a unique feel (and works performant enough at least on iOS) which makes it more pleasurable to use than lets say WhatsApp which is the most popular in Europe

If that's still not enough, then sadly science is not enough either since it relies heavily on cooperation (you can't test everything yourself).

My son too has a unique and disabling mutation. As far as I know, he is the only person with this mutation, but there are more people with a mutation in the same region of the gene, that are affected in the same way.

The problem with some mutations like this, is that they have an effect on the development of the brain from the start of the development and that fixing the gene (or better its RNA transscription) will not undo that development. The results of IQ tests seems to indicate that with my sons mutation, there is a problem with the myelination in his brain. Myeliniation is a process that starts before birth and continues into adolescent. At the moment he is quite happy and functioning well within his limits. His 'academic' IQ is rather low, but in some areas, he surpases the average person by far. He has a great sense of humor and people like him. In his case, I am really afraid what would happen if we would administer him a drug that would compensate for the genetic defect. Would he go through another fase of brain development and having to cope with all kinds of changes. Could he end up being less happy, because it would remove his ignorance about certain things. For example, at the moment he has no desire for a romantic relationship, but getting such a desire and than still not being able to satisfy it, could make him very unhappy.

We also have to take into account how our society destroyed local communities and economies. People on the countryside now depend a lot more on the global economy/industry than they did a few decades back, because local production was dis-incentivized by surrounding economical structures.

Take for example food. When you're on the countryside, it's not complicated to produce more than 90% of what you eat locally (up to 100% for people willing to give up on some spices, oil and other products not grown locally). What makes it complicated is that local farms were coalesced into big industries based on monoculture (which itself destroys the environment) so the food produced on the countryside doesn't feed people locally but serves as a source for big corporations to make derived products (usually less nutritive and bad for health) which rural and urban people alike will go buy in the supermarket (because there is usually no more alternative).

So i agree the current numbers don't reflect that so much, because of the self-perpetuating circle of heteronomy imposed by capitalism. But living on the countryside relying on local production is way more eco-friendly than any industrial civilization could ever be.

Be careful with that "fascinated by psychology" justification for hanging out in toxic places. I've heard that kind of statement from people before, that they're "not really" in a subculture, they just find it "anthropologically interesting". 99% of the time it's at least partly BS, a mental self-excuse to distance themselves from something they find actually quite intriguing.

If you frequent such places, you will inevitably pick up the concepts they use, like you did with "mogging". Once you have the concepts in your brain, you will begin to pattern-match them in daily life - like you did with "mogging". It is exactly this acquisition of "new concepts with which to view the world" which is interesting. But once you start habitually viewing the world through a manosphere lens, you are on a slippery slope to becoming like them. Take a look - do you want that?

tl;dr meme exposure is dangerous and should not be taken lightly - we don't have the mental separation we think we do. This is not calling you out or anything, just a PSA to you and anyone else reading this thread - innocent curiosity is how people get radicalized!
It's not just that. Most everything you did was physical. No indoor plumbing. No ice cream. No fresh vegetables in winter. Itchy clothes. Hardly any books. Travel was difficult, slow, and quite uncomfortable. Lousy shoes. No A/C. Roasting or freezing indoors in winter. Little information about what was happening more than a day's walk away. A rotting mouth. No movies.
It is. OTOH, "these tools have been sufficient ten years ago, so I'm sticking to them forever" leads to wasting human time (by ignoring newer, potentially more efficient, tools).

> In C++ there was no way to only run type checking

gcc has -fsyntax-only. Despite the option name, this also includes type checking and template instantiation. AFAIK it reports all compiler errors, though it skips some warnings that are computed by the optimizer (e.g. -Wuninitialized).
This is a better explanation than the original article.

Is there an easy way to tell CMake or Makefiles to use it ?

I never invoke clang or gcc directly. When using cargo, I use `cargo check` instead of `cargo build`. But in C or C++ depending on the project `make check` might not exist, or it might build all tests and run them, or do something else entirely like checking the formatting using clang-format.
The rest of your arguments are valid, but the CO2 credit system is working as intended there. That's why it's called a credit. That's a lot of money that gets to be directly invested into getting electric cars in the hands of more people, which is what will actually reduce emissions in the long run.

Fiat's emissions already happened; they can't turn back time. Selling the credits to them will result in a net decrease in emissions (assuming they don't spend all the money on flamethrowers or something). If they didn't sell the credits, Fiat still put out exactly the same amount of emissions, and would be likely to do so in the future even with the fines.

If you've helped accelerate climate change, you're supposed to buy credits to offset the damage you've caused. If you've helped mitigate climate change, you're supposed to sell the credits, because the credits are there in the first place to incentivize mitigating climate change. This system obviously isn't sufficient to halt climate change all by itself, and maybe there are some other reasons it's a bad system, but it seems like the credit system is working exactly as it was supposed to. At the very least, I don't see what Tesla's doing wrong when it comes to that particular area.
Facts are good. They help to anchor people to the unfortunate reality of how hard it is to help a country (or just anyone in general).

However, the simple fact that the US went in guns blazing and left before things got better (because otherwise it would have been too costly) doesn't invalidate all forms of intervention ever and forever.
