>why you think we "are simply not there yet", which is a really big claim that I would say you are almost hilariously wrong about

Actually he is hilariously right about it. Renewables are nowhere near adequate to replace conventional (fossil, etc) fuels.

Even if everything was great (costs, externalities, energy storage, etc), the cost and scale of replacing existing fossil fuel based infrastructure would be ginormous. It's simply not possible in any scale smaller than 3-5 decades...

Aside from other problems, we are nowhere near the capacity of producing the required number of renewable units (turbines, solar panels). And that's for a steady target, whereas energy demands increase. Solar and wind still provide a tiny amount of total energy, and even that with
fossil fuel backups (due to intermittency).
Any company that does business in the US, or with another company that does business in the US. Not just US based companies are subject to these restrictions (if they want to sell into the US)
What about the constraints of what the power grid can support in terms of mass EV rollout?

What about the charging infrastructure itself?

The first point in particular doesn't seem to get the attention it deserves.

As an example some places (try to) ban crypto mining because the extra power load effectively makes power more expensive for everyone.

The residential grid is built with a particular established demand for power. EV charging would significantly change that in many places.
No they don't! The sanction is against the country, not nationals. So if you are a developer from the U.S. with U.S. nationality and move to Cuba the sanctions would also apply to you.

Actually there is a very good wikipedia page "United States sanctions against Iran" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_sanctions_agains... about this, if you want more info.
>Asbestos kills people. What plastic risk are you referring to, environmental pollution?

Plastic likely has all sorts of medical complications, that we will probably start to see manifest here in the near future now that it is now in the food and water we consume [1], now in the air we breathe [2] and even in our poop [3].

>Ingested microplastic particles can physically damage organs and leach hazardous chemicals—from the hormone-disrupting bisphenol A (BPA) to pesticides—that can compromise immune function and stymie growth and reproduction. Both microplastics and these chemicals may accumulate up the food chain, potentially impacting whole ecosystems, including the health of soils in which we grow our food. Microplastics in the water we drink and the air we breathe can also hit humans directly.

> I doubt anybody in Boeing’s offices woke up and thought “what a nice morning! Time to go to work and build some dangerous airplanes that will kill people, so that I can get slightly richer”.

It's been thought for a while that the suits of McDonnell Douglas have "ruined" the engineering company that Boeing once was:

> Where on earth did Boeing go? Directory assistance does list an aerospace concern by that name in Chicago, but surely it's not the American icon that boldly launched the world into the jet age. That company's president once received a standing ovation from a Senate committee. This "Boeing" has boldly violated Pentagon rules, broken new ground in industrial espionage, and somehow made an enemy of the U.S. government--all while falling behind its foreign rival. Besides, everybody knows that Boeing is in Seattle.

[...]

> Now that Condit has pulled the ripcord on yet another bad relationship, the "reverse takeover" theorists seem prophetic: Harry Stonecipher, 67, is Boeing's CEO. While he might be the man to mend fences with the Pentagon, his pit-bull routine seems unlikely to mend Boeing's broken culture. "We have the right strategy," he declared at a news conference. "The task before us is to execute."

> If there's one bright spot, it's that Boeing finally looks poised to launch its first new plane since 1990: the hyper-efficient 7E7 "Dreamliner," so dubbed after a global naming contest. If it gets the go-ahead, the $7 billion project might restore some of Boeing's once-famed esprit de corps--maybe even enough to lure its severed head back to Seattle. If, on the other hand, the company loses its nerve, it might consider another naming contest--this one for itself.

> May we suggest McDonnell Douglas?

You make a great point, plus in the US we use fast food as a substitute for a lot of meals. It’s been eye opening once you start looking at ingredients, made me rethink what we feed our kids.
We've already seen a thread today with a similar narrative and I expect to see more to follow in the same fashion:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20551615

Linking the 2 hot topics of our time, the mass movement of people and climate change? Makes perfect sense as now they can accurately be described as refugees, not just immigrants. Now if you express doubt not only are you an ignorant science denier but probably also a facist!
You're not forced to make your torrents private, so I'm not sure how that's related.
What about collecting the "waste" IR emissions from the heated water vapor?
If you actually wanted to know, all you had to do was click on the link to the underlying study.

Ultra-processed food is food that meets the criteria according to the NOVA
classification system.

"Processes enabling the manufacture of ultra-processed foods include the fractioning of whole foods into substances, chemical modifications of these substances, assembly of unmodified and modified food substances, frequent use of cosmetic additives and sophisticated packaging. Processes and ingredients used to manufacture ultra-processed foods are designed to create highly profitable (low-cost ingredients, long shelf-life, emphatic branding), convenient (ready-to-consume), hyper-palatable products liable to displace all other NOVA food groups, notably unprocessed or minimally processed foods. A practical way to identify an ultra-processed product is to check to see if its list of ingredients contains at least one item characteristic of the NOVA ultra-processed food group, which is to say, either food substances never or rarely used in kitchens (such as high-fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated or interesterified oils, and hydrolysed proteins), or classes of additives designed to make the final product palatable or more appealing (such as flavours, flavour enhancers, colours, emulsifiers, emulsifying salts, sweeteners, thickeners, and anti-foaming, bulking, carbonating, foaming, gelling and glazing agents)."

By the way, I always maliciously infer that this is the actual depth of the understanding of the author. You just grasped some very high level concepts and have a very pratical knowledge of lower level details — but just chaos in the middle.

I may be wrong, obviously.
Exactly.

There is a major, qualitative difference between Reduce, which is strategic and lowers pollution, and Reuse and Recycle, which are tactical and mostly just shuffle pollution around.

If your strategy is in place and people support it, use all the tactics you can. But if your strategy is not in place, tactics often backfire. As this article points out, people think they're being virtuous by recycling so they buy plastic profligately -- the opposite of the strategy. I'm starting to think we should change the phrase "Reduce, reuse, recycle" to "Reduce".

I treat this more in detail in my Leadership and the Environment podcast episode 183: Reusing and recycling are tactical. Reducing is strategic http://joshuaspodek.com/guests/rants-raves-monologues-volume....

On another note:

We can each reduce our consumption and therefore demand significantly, while improving our lives. When I cut out nearly all my packaged food, my food costs went down and quality of life and food went up. The last two times I emptied my garbage were September 2018 and July 2017.

Some might say it's hard or only one person, as I would have before experiencing the change, but it was rewarding and improves my life, as it will yours. That it reduced my garbage by about 90% is a side effect. http://joshuaspodek.com/year-emptied-garbage.

I'm not saying only individuals should change or suggesting not doing other things. I support institutional change and pricing extraction and waste with taxes since the public pays for the cleanup. But everyone right here right now can cut their consumption and waste, which will lead to faster implementation of institutional change, legislation, etc.
Ya know what was actually disgusting? The war in Iraq, or any other recent regime change the US executed. If economic warfare is the way it’s done now, then that’s great. Let the casualties be inconvenienced github users, rather than ya know, actual casualties...
They wouldn't. You would, that's fine, and I made a site with it in the distant past, or I tried. I checked, but if I did actually publish it, archive.org doesn't have that version.

I say tolerance because much more recently I had problems trying to make a chart and tripping over colspan and rowspan stuff. I really just need to sketch the contents out on paper, first...
So the rights of society trumps my own ability to self-determination? If society can dictate that, then there is no basis for any sort of personal freedom.
Temperature and comfort is one thing, but the other dangerous issue that is looming is food production. If, because of climate change, it dips for a few percentage point, that will create food shortage and price increase, that will lead to revolutions or wars.
To me it seems obvious that you can write any application using any Turin-complete language. So the question seems more like "how convenient would it be to write a kernel or a game using Julia and with which performance impact?"

For games, it will highly depends what kind of game, of course. Assuming cutting-edge 3d-graphic intensive video-game, it will be probably not be your language of choice, especially regarding available out of the box libraries. For implementing Tetris, I guess you make it in any language for sufficient performance. :)
Are there currently any serious competitors to Github/Gitlab (or instances of the latter) outside the reach of US politics?

I wonder if a deposit system or similar could help. In some ways I'm reminded of glass bottles, littering, and encouraging the collection and reuse of them. The core of the problem is that producers are blind to a significant portion of the lifecycle cost, so they'll package something in plastic, inside cardboard, inside another cardboard, inside another plastic. That's pretty much the standard packaging for small electronics these days, and it's insane. The only way I think we've come to accept this is that much of it is pretty recyclable.

Which they'll use to advertise the Porsche Taycan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohHEdaRhF1k

Volkswagen is investing a lot in electrics. They're doing it to clean up their image from the diesel emissions scandal, to meet the new emissions standards being set by the EU and others, and to avoid being locked out of markets which have already set timetables for banning ICE cars (like Norway and the city of Paris).
In fairness, we aren't even mining landfills for valuable metals yet. That seems like it will probably happen first?
Ultra processed or not does not matter. What does matter is that beside raw ingredients most food is somewhat processed. i.e a lot of ingredients were added, especially sugar (even in food where the least expect it).

A lot of these ingredients are nefarious, including sugar, especially if too much is consumed. (most people consume several time the recommended dose of sugar a day, even without eating very sweet - courtesy of the food industry for putting sugar everywhere).

> would only vote for it if there are tax releases in other areas because tax rate is already enormous in my country.

A carbon divided, which is to say redistributing the income of the carbon tax equally and directly to the people should at least in principle be uncontroversial because it is both socially equitable (richer people live more carbon intensive lives and thus contribute more), and it sets the right consumption incentive without taking money out of people's personal pockets (which should please conservatives).
Yes ok initial parameter passing and gathering results may be considered a message bus. I was going to mention that, but I got lazy.
The problem with this technique is that is useless

We live in cultural bubbles, tending to cluster close to people like we (People that speak the same language, with similar points of view, economic levels, cultural answers engraved for solving the same problem, eating the same food, cooked in the same way, exposed to the same publicity, popular songs, sport teams and ideological propaganda). People make most of their friends in the same school whereas being teached the same things by the same teacher.

Therefore, we are notoriously bad guessing what other people think... out of our cultural bubble.

If you ask people questions like "Will your neighbors enjoy doing pig meat barbeques?", "Are this mushrooms poisonous" or "Is ok to put soap directly in your bath water?" they can provide a reliable answer, but the results can't be extrapolated out of the cluster. Are useles to find the truth. All cultures choose to ignore big chunks of human knowledge or do some things plain wrong. A poisonous mushroom can be made edible after cooking by an obscure technique culturally spread. Many jews will dislike pig meat. Many japanese will not find ok to put soap in the bath. The majority of people in the planet don't know and will not care about what is the capital of Guangdong, Entre Ríos, or Philadelphia.

If your starting variables are unconstrained (the people answering the question is anonymous and from an unknown pool) the technique is a sociological dice that will return different results each time (AKA pseudoscience)
A lot of pages have. Or at least they don't take payments from them. Larger CDN providers will maintain "US sanctions" blacklists which you can enable with one click. A lot of companies just don't care.
> Do these requirements really come from the users? Or do they, in fact, come mainly from tech people?

I think a lot of them come from the "expectations" about computing created by the world of web applications. And those requirements themselves come from, most importantly, the advertising industry. In one way or another, by varying but important degrees, advertising defines how we create these interactive systems and worsens the user/developer divide

The UN doesn't have any legal authority and even if it did it wouldn't be able to enforce it without the US and it's allies.

It's unfortunately not that easy. Iranian students studying in the UK for example, currently have a lot of trouble to pay their tuition fees. Because the U.S. insists that any bank (from the EU or wherever in the world) that wants to do business in the U.S. must comply to U.S. sanctions, which means an U.K. bank has to choose if it wants to block Iran or get blocked itself in/by the U.S. for doing business with Iran. More about this can be found on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_sanctions_agains....
Don’t make it too hard on yourself. If you want to use your own economic clout to take a swing at the US, then just stick to boycotting US companies. See if it’s even possible to operate your project like that. You’ll be taking a step back in time by at least 10 years.

You realize that sanctions also kill people through lack of supplies like medicine being available, people being unable to economically support themselves, and, if the sanctions cause the government to collapse, all the death that results from that.

So let’s not pretend sanctions are somehow nonviolent.
Glad to hear it. Nihilism is rampant in these conversations and must be stomped on hard. Far too many believe that "extremely difficult" is the same as "impossible" so we should give up and do nothing.

It was clear from the rest of your comment that you aren't one of those, but I fear they would find support in your comment. Confirmation bias would lead them to emphasize the "voting doesn't matter" part and ignore your call to action.

I read "voting doesn't matter", hitting one of my hot buttons leading me to misread your comment. We're obviously in fairly close agreement, yet my response was to spout off an angry denunciation...

I'll add Goulet Pens to that list.

They maintain a Youtube channel where they break down pretty much anything you'd ever want to know about how to intelligently buy a fountain pen.

They've got a usable site where I don't have to worry about getting scammed or even creating an account -- last time I bought a pen from them, the package even came with a handwritten note; it was just a really nice experience.

Pretty much all of my ink/pen related needs go through Goulet, specifically because I trust them more than Amazon.

This is great, yes. Unfortunately, they don't address the economics of foundry latency though. Monolithic 3D means way more layers which means way more production steps, which means it takes longer for the wafer to make it through the factory. We're already talking about production latencies on the order of months as it is today... so this is clearly cool tech, but scaling further may be difficult.

EVs are a clear winner for jobs like that. Has the prediction of EVs being low on maintenance bore out? If so, its further incentive for commercial and public use. Municipalities benefit greatly from predictable, constant expenses.
