>Despite the falling costs and growing market share of renewable energies, they still lack the killer app: a price on carbon emissions that would expose the frequently hidden costs of fossil fuels. Conventional wisdom holds that Americans, especially, wouldn’t stand for that.

This is why I desperately want a carbon tax above all else. Price in the externalities, to accelerate existing trends in the energy replacement cycle.

I don’t think government can magic a solution into existence (thought basic r snd d funding helps), but it is well within government power to price externalities. We can even lower other taxes that have negative effects but are currently needed for revenue.

We may or may not make it, but such a tax will help speed all of our efforts by growing the reward for non-carbon energy.
You aren't looking it through the lens of "all business good/all government bad" enough.

When in reality the picture is "somethings the market does well, some things absolutely should not have a profit motive - the picture is complex" which frankly these days wouldn't fit on the side of a bus so no-one this side of the pond would pay any attention.
So is this going to be a thing where only US users are affected, or is it global?
Unfortunately if your site is interactive, you still need to know if dealing with touch versus keyboard.

For touch, extra spacing is needed around click targets (allow for fat fingers).

For some touch data entry, you need to allow for different input methods, because accessing symbols and numbers is different from a real keyboard versus a virtual keyboard. Also a virtual keyboard: covers some of the page, causes scroll, causes resize, can cause zoom, loses fixed headers. Avoiding the effects of those issues often requires some compromises.

For touch, you must register onclick events on a div near to an input that can be tapped. Otherwise the browser resizes the touch zone to be bigger than the actual input, and you can't tap the div.

There are many many subtleties to how browsers treat touch events and virtual keyboards
That's a good question, I had to go poke at the original publication and tool to get some idea. This looks like a very good database, but the NYT is being misleading when it cites "high stress" and then only gives examples that are actively running out of water.

The actual definition of water stress used is:

> Baseline water stress measures the ratio of total water withdrawals to available renewable water supplies... Available renewable water supplies include surface and groundwater supplies and considers the impact of upstream consumptive water users and large dams on downstream water availability. Higher values indicate more competition among users.

So the first note is that this is measuring sustainability, not risk of water shortage; it doesn't factor in that Lake Superior has ~800x the current volume of Lake Powell. And it's meant to study competition for water rather than actual deficit, so 'high' stress is 40%-80% usage, and 'very high' stress is >80% usage. (In fairness, >80% is likely unsustainable because we don't capture water as it arrives. Drawing 100% doesn't mean a state-wide rainbarrel, so water will still reach surface plants as wells run dry.)

Second is that it's not clear how rainfall onto the lakes is being assigned. Michigan is "high" in the middle and "low" around the edges, so maybe it's being assigned to the nearest land area without accounting for piping and the usage compacts that govern where it goes? That wouldn't matter in most places, but Lake Superior in particular would distort things hugely.

Third, these are watershed-level colorations. If you zoom in on the dark red along the Mississippi, it turns out to be Jonesboro, Arkansas. That's a hilly/mountain region with flatter land on either side, and a bunch of manufacturing. As soon as it's streams hit the White River watershed, it drops back down to yellow. If they're drawing hard without pumping water uphill they might get into trouble, but things would still be ok downstream because no one on the Mississippi is relying on that area for water.

I was talking about generally accepted opinions by the population. Today, as the quote said, "Germans being killed for just being Germans are generally accepted as injustice".

Was it the case back in the day, though? I am not so sure about that. Of course there were plenty of people who thought this was a great injustice, but I don't think the general public back then would even raise a brow of condemnation towards a person claiming that this was ok and totally justified.

P.S. this is a total speculation about this specific scenario, but I had similar conversations about atrocities committed on the eastern front by soviet soldiers with my older family members who were young adults in 50s-60s in USSR. What I got was that their whole generation was pretty much on board with it, because, in their words, "Nazis deserved it" (with the implication being that every German person was a nazi, of course, even civilians). Not so much of a popular opinion these days.

It is a global governance issue since, much like your relative who's house was wrecked in a hurricane, the rest of the world will need to pick up the pieces when water availability collapses. I'm not against that sharing personally, but we as a world need to all get together and ensure global stability because otherwise a problem like this will be like falling dominoes where the additional water burden will spread and exacerbate the issue.

I think what he was getting at is that we should be selecting for people willing to work hard for long periods of time.

I also suspect that if you posed a force-choice question to most Americans, "Who would you rather have in this country: people who are willing to falsify official documents so they can work hard for longer, or people who stick to the letter of the law so that they can work as little as possible?", they would choose the former.

Credit cards are less of a thing in the uk. Cash back isn’t so common or so large because the merchant fees are much lower so there’s nowhere for the cash to come from. People also (as far as I’m aware) don’t buy as much on credit as they do in the US and they don’t accrue as interest on that debt either.

So a lot of these points are different between the US and UK (eg 1% cashback is quite a lot), and there aren’t a great number of UK credit cards that do have an annual fee (and if they do it is small).

Having no forex fee (and good exchange rates) tends to be a loss-leader for some cards in the UK (until they become known as a very cheap way to change money and start losing more and more on it).

Lots of credit-card related features (eg regarding late fees) matter less because a lot of the competition isn’t with credit cards but with debit cards (but then again banks tend to charge steep overdraft fees).

Contactless, a nice app, merchant location, and a messaging system for customer support is pretty common (for offerings like those mentioned by the GP). Messaging turns out to be a great interface because:

- the app can help guess what you want in common cases (eg moving house)

- it’s asynchronous so no one is wasting time on hold if it’s busy

- it’s text so automated systems stand a better chance of getting good quality data (like the new address) and guessing what the query is

Cards/bank accounts with fancy apps have been becoming a thing in the uk for perhaps 6-7 years and they’ve been becoming a bigger popular widely used thing in the past 3-5 years. So lots of these features can seem quite familiar to people.
Why Banning 8chan Was So Hard for Cloudflare: ‘No One Should Have That Power’
That's what google uses as an argument too and I am too familiar with the problem.

The problem here is that Google is in control of the solution and the solution is designed by them without consulting everyone else and in a way that would be advantageous to their long term dominance and prosperity.

I don't trust google and they certainly don't have my consent to shape the way I and the society I live in interact with each other.

I will say it a million times if needed. I do not trust google. Period. They ask forgiveness instead of permission and they love slipperly slops and bait-and-switch psychology tricks to get their way.
Hi, we developed a similar solution minus the handling of translations itself - fortunately we have inhouse people that can supply that.

A few questions:

- Some translations are a bit context dependant, what happens if I dont agree with the translation?
- Sometimes we do some kind of media localization, eg: users in france will see a different image than users in portugal. Are you a translation only shop, or you plan to do some kind of l10n?

Best of luck!

Things like this make me wonder: is it really worth for the airlines (I'm also talking about plane manufacturers here) to be this secure? I would assume it's not different from the automotive industry, where the security of your product depends primarily on financial reasons.

I feel like many people would be willing to trade some security for better ticket prices.

Of course there are differences with the car industry, one of them being the economic value of the vehicle and thus the loss in case of accident. I don't know if it would actually be profitable for them.

It doesn't matter if they want to share or not. Pumping water is so expensive that sharing won't be economically. Sure we can ship bottled water - for drinking that is cheap enough, but try taking a shower with bottled water.

If some areas doesn't have enough water some people need to move out to areas that have enough (this is easy to say and hard to do). Areas that are borderline need to think hard about what gets priority - much of California has been ignoring this question for a long time (climate change may or may not make a difference in the future)

Right, after which some combination of the bank and the vendor eat the cost of the fraud. This in turn drives up prices and fees.

Regarding time investment, you are just rolling the dice. Most of the time the transaction will just reverse. Some times you will have to fight it.

Also, the big thing that chips bring is related to duplication. The cards can’t be duplicated and transactions can’t be duplicated. The PIN is just a second factor. This is distinct from US Debit PINs, which are the only “secure” part of that system.

Users presumably did not pay 8chan

8chan was presumably paying cloudflare

8chan was presumably paying bitmitigate

bitmitigate was presumably paying voxility

The only part of hosting controversial content for free was the user -> 8chan relationship, which they very explicitly did for free.

Everything else was not, and if money was the problem, I don't think sudden and arbitrary cutoff was the natural result. (marking up the price seems to me the reasonable response, which would have naturally gone up the chain, perhaps to the point of 8chan charging its users [or heavier advertising]).

But this wasn't a business decision, so obviously it wouldn't be a business outcome.
