I disagree with your contention that water is an earth scale problem.

In fact, as someone charged with building and maintaining not only my own water sources and infrastructure, but community water resources as well, I would put forth that water resources - and their responsible usage - are governed by very unique hyperlocal conditions.

We all know that, for instance, the water resources and usage are different between New York City and the Colorado River Basin - and we wouldn't expect usage and sharing agreements between those two locales. But are you aware that similar scale differences in water resources and usage can exist within the same county ? Physics and economics make them just as impractical to share and manage.

There may indeed be drivers of global governance - and I typically find them distasteful - but I don't think this is one of them.
Other species have the ability for tool making, some of it relatively complex. So clearly there are other factors. Language is obviously one of them. The differentiator described here is PFS secondary to a genetic (evolutionary) change in the prefrontal cortex. Tool making to me implies sequential processes, not the juxtaposition of mental objects. I'm not clear on what you mean by toolmaking as a recursive process.
I recently
switched from Syncthing to Unison, after getting tired of Syncthing either taking forever to sync anything or getting stuck altogether, with very little visibility or control over what it was doing. So far Unison (with fsmonitor) has ‘just worked’, with files updating immediately on save as I’d expect.

(That said, one of the problems I encountered with Syncthing seemed to be that it wouldn’t properly reconnect when I switched networks, which is necessary since it runs as a persistent daemon. With Unison, so far I’ve been starting it up in the foreground in a terminal as needed, so it hasn’t had to provide the same functionality. But I expect I’ll eventually set up some type of auto-reconnect, which will hopefully work better than Syncthing did.)
We're using seL4 as the basis for one of our products which is focused on characterizing components, systems, and their failure modes. Mostly targeting critical "Cyber-Phyiscal Systems" and "Software-Intensive Systems of Systems".

We have a little operating system, or enough of one to facilitate building the rest of our product atop of it, that goes along with seL4. We'd planned to open source parts of it fairly soon, but prioritizing hiring a few more folks (BD, PM, Eng.) has put that effort on-hold temporarily.

Building things with seL4 is easy to do wrong, despite being given a variety of very low-level verified primitives to work with. You still need to put it all together just right. CAmkES is supposed to make this easier, but our experience with it wasn't very good, so we took the hard road and created a Rust-based application framework to go over the top of everything.

Unison has been an indispensable tool for me for many years. I keep my desktop and laptop in sync by using an always-on Linode as a sync server.

Something I love about Unison is the fact that I can sync files from anywhere on my filesystem without having to move them or replace them with symlinks.

I can also sync subsets of my files by defining multiple profiles. I have Unison set up to default to a "common" profile that includes nearly everything, but I can explicitly request a sub-profile if I want. I also have a separate profile that syncs the profiles themselves, so I can make profile changes on one machine and run `unison profiles` to upload them.
1. Yes, it's a normal credit card.
2. Yes, you can generate a new virtual card number with a CCV and expiration date in Wallet.
3. Yes, probably. Though most places don't actually verify that info, or they only care about the zip.
Be that as it may, by jumping ahead, you miss out on the younger computer-illiterate, and alienate the older computer-literate.

There is zero benefit to over-generalizing that I can see, and it is very likely to lead to errors.
The answer to your second question is into the link:

It is very likely we can introduce single cell organisms to at least a few planets or moons in the solar system and they would take, if not at the surface but maybe underground.

Very slick.

I refuse to replace my NVMe for this reason alone. That screw is going to get stuck somewhere and I'm going to have to take the motherboard out completely to get it, hoping the whole time I didn't fry anything.

Why. Why make a screw that small. It's torture.
On Macs before 2001, that used to work! We didn't used to cram pieces of file metadata into file names. File type was stored its own slot. The hidden-ness of a file was stored in its own slot.

I find it amazing that despite the industry's trend in recent years away from string-typing and towards static-typing, metadata-in-file-name just won't die.

I'm all for removing old ways of doing things that were bad, when we have a better way to do them. What we have here, with type-in-extension (and visibility-in-prefix), is a legacy system for which there is so far no workable substitute (on any system, much less all systems). A person can't be fully computer literate and not know what extensions are.

UTI has some nice features, but it's still based on extensions (which are keys into the database with the information you really want). This weird halfway point, where every user has to be a "power user" of the filesystem in order to not break their own files, will live on until either types are made primary again, or until we're all reduced to using standalone "apps" with app-specific storage and we can't share any data except as the app author decided to allow.
I think the big hole in the conspiracy theory is "why not just pretend they were both still alive"?

One of them was definitely dead and inheritance taxes were very high at the time. There's a good motive for the daughter to claim to be her mother.

It also explains why the son-in-law happily lived with his departed wife's "mother" for the next several decades (she was actually his wife pretending to be the mother).

Quite frankly, there's a lot of silly logic required to justify a lot of bizarre things Jeanne did after this census, which all make sense if Jeanne was really Yvonne by then. Occam's razor: is it more likely that the mother kept calling her husband her father for a few decades in casual conversation and lived with her son-in-law but not her husband, or is it more likely the daughter kept slipping up while trying to maintain the facade and lived with her own husband?

Banking in the states must be pretty awful, because as someone living in the UK, I don't think there's anything here I don't already get with my existing bank accounts.

I can pay with my phone or a tap of my card pretty much everywhere, most banks have pretty advanced apps and APIs now, I don't think credit cards (or credit card debt) is as much of a "thing" here either.

I'm not saying it's bad, it looks nice and convenient, but it's not really a world changing banking disruption either. It just looks like an Apple branded version of what I've already had for years.
The land where you are might be uplifting due to glacial rebound or for some other reason, or sediment is being deposited, lots of things can cause the sea level to drop in one place which has little to do with rising average sea levels globally. I encourage you to do some research and find the reason the coast is farther out now in your area- I’m confident you’ll find a good reason and it will probably be pretty interesting!
> make money on ads on the web?

well yeah, but a local app can get a more detailed fingerprint off the user, which includes location visited, app installed, habits etc. an app can do a lot more things when installed and closed compared to a closed browser tab.

> the Yelp app I don't get any ads

the profile is sent upstream and aggregated. ads served from other apps and on web pages you visit have a chance of using information collected by yelp even if yelp itself is not showing the ads, that's the point of it, a seemingly innocuous "ads free" app collects telemetry and third parties use that info to build a profile and serve personalized ads on other apps and web pages, correlating sidechannel info (last seen position, ip and other) to unmask your browser/app session and pin it to your "shadow identity" in the advertisers' system.

“Domain marauders swept in”?

“Swiped it”?
One oddity regarding characters is that the only thing that becomes public domain is the character as portrayed in that public domain material. In the case of Mickey, that means only his appearance in Steamboat Willie would become public domain in 2024, with more material being released to the public domain each year. What that entails is... sort of confusing, I think, and will come down to individual cases. Depending on how it is used, a post-2024 portrayal of Mickey might be a copyright violation or might not be.

Additionally, Mickey is also trademarked, which lasts forever as long as it is used commercially by the owner. So the mouse's likeness is not likely to be public domain as long as the Disney company exists and continues to use it.
Reddit and HN don't bump threads on activity. HN actually penalizes threads with too much activity. The anonymity is a big factor too; I think it's the combination that helps make things bad. It could also has to do with the way replies are shown: Reddit and HN's branching style causes discussions to fork off in a hundred different directions and focus on different details. Classic bulletin board forums make it difficult to really follow a thread as it gets too busy as you have to click and wait to load a new page for every 10 or so posts. Imageboards often show replies in a single quickly-scrollable auto-updating page in a very compact manner. This might make bandwagon effects much easier.

Maybe I'm wrong about how the specific details play into it exactly, but I think the differences between site structures is not considered nearly enough when trying to understand the differences between site cultures. I hope it's apparent to most that Reddit+HN, classic forums, Twitter, and imageboards each strongly influence discussions to work in different ways, and I don't think it's just because of their different communities. I think if you swap out the people or make multiple sites with the same structure, you see that each structure reinforces its own set of behaviors.

>perhaps anonymity has the opposite effect, allowing people to be more willing to have thoughtful discussions and change their minds, instead of having to stick to their guns for fear of losing face.

I can see the logic of that, but the "thoughtful" part has rarely been my experience on any anonymous places. I think people are more willing to change their minds, but in the direction of being more willing to change their mind to follow the "hivemind"/community or change their mind in a way that's more able to provoke others.
Speaking from the other side, my advice is to over-communicate, especially if you haven't built up a deep trust and reputation with your team and your manager.

Here's what your manager is worried about:

1. Will the job be done well?
2. How long will this take?
3. Are you on-task, or are you stuck, overwhelmed, going rogue?

You can help your manager answer these questions by communicating these things:

1. I have a plan, and here is the plan.
2. Here is my progress in executing this plan.
3. I have made these findings so far. I anticipate
these difficulties and challenges.

How this is communicated to the team, and your manager, depends on your team culture and workflow. But something typical might be:

1. Two sentences in standup. Think through what you are
going to say, read a prepared statement from a sticky
note if necessary.
2. A short email (<100 words) answering any questions
people have regarding your research. Use your own
judgment as to audience size and email frequency.
3. A document or wiki page that is the final work
product of your research.

"A slip of the tongue can easily summon a career-ending mob on Twitter. (Or, at least, it seems that way.)"

I understand this concern and I ask you instead- how common is this realistically? How much are we potentially following how things feel rather than how they really are? Can we justify how we feel with genuine data about our environment?

For example, worrying about a microaggressive joke. Do we have evidence that justifies this worry (ie. this specific joke or a joke similar to this has offended someone)?

"But the way progressive culture enforces those values socially is pretty intense. There seems to be little room for human error, personal growth, or misinterpretation."

I feel this way about 'normal' culture a lot of the time, honestly, it's just so normalized that no one really notices it without coming off as 'too sensitive', which is itself a cultural enforcement of allowing cultural enforcement. "Progressive culture" seems too harsh because it hasn't been internalized the way "normal" culture has, and so adaptation to a new paradigm requires peer correction. For peer correction in "normal" culture look at schoolyard bullying and children taking on the bigotry of their parents.
Just because you happen to always download mobile apps doesn't negate the fact that many people don't, and deliberately crippling a mobile site to coerce people to download an app they otherwise wouldn't is an extremely clear case of being user hostile.
> This is likely an unpopular opinion

no, just an opinion of a unrealistic dreamer. why wouldn't the govt be more corruptable by money than the current?

The real unpopular opinion: the solution is simply less people. we need less infra, not more, and the problem will sort itself out.

By overvaluing life, we have forgotten the value of life. We're killing everything, even the human spirit.

Local communities need to start fending for themselves and stop importing/exporting everything.

CO2 did increase a lot. The ratio of CO2 in our atmosphere got up by more than 40% since 2 centuries ago. And that's despite effects which slow down the CO2 increase, like absorption by the ocean.

> OK, so you are unwilling to grant or share social, political, or professional rights with the people that don't meet those requirements, and who happen to have been born outside of your country. Sounds to me like you're intolerant of them, according to the second definition. Do you disagree? Would you like to revise your definition once more so that it more narrowly refers to the right people?

You're deliberately misconstruing what I'm saying. I have no problem with a country instituting an immigration policy, nor am I intolerant of people not born in my country. You're trying to put forth that I cannot both respect the rule of law of a civil society while still respecting human rights on a larger scale. These ideas are not at odds, and won't be no matter how many times you try and make it sound that way.

At it's core your example is bad because there are tons of other variables involved in an immigration process that have nothing whatsoever to do with culture, speech, views, religion, etc. (and, taken further, a properly designed immigration policy in my mind wouldn't take any of those into account anyway.) In short, it's apples and oranges.

> I know very well why I dislike the idea that some of my countrymen should be suppressed under the law for expressing their genuinely held beliefs and advocating for what they see as their own interests, whether or not some dictionary definition calls their ideas intolerant.

"Genuinely held beliefs" are a terrible basis from which to derive law. We don't make murder illegal because people think it's mean to kill people, or because a divine deity said not to. We do it because it infringes on their right to live.

If 2016 should teach you anything, it's that genuinely held beliefs by large amounts of people, no matter how large they are and no matter how much they believe them, do not constitute reality. End of. Reality is reality and beliefs are beliefs, and while they occasionally agree, one is real, and the other is not.

Drip irrigation is not foolproof. If there isn’t enough water the salinity of the soil increases until eventually it can’t support plants anymore and you end up with something that looks more like Iraq. I’m not sure what that means for greenhouses.
Management debt is when you create social or organizational policies that solve the immediate problem but will create morale, personnel, or legal issues later. The concept comes from an a16z essay:

https://a16z.com/2012/01/19/management-debt/

Other examples might include tolerating an aggressive status-based "brogrammer" culture, institutionalizing long working hours, or instituting gatekeepers that can block launches to avoid specific issues that have bitten you in the past.

I've worked at two startups that were killed by technical debt, and founded one. The way it usually manifests is that the startup fails to get to product/market fit before the complexity of its codebase prevents any further progress. These failures usually happen early in the startup's lifecycle (before many people have heard about them) and are often chalked up to failure to find a market, but the reality is often that if they could've iterated in days instead of months they would've found a winning product. Frequently a competitor started a few years later comes in with a simpler approach, leveraging building blocks that have already gotten mainstream vetting, and takes the market. (For more prominent examples, there's projects like General Magic, Apple Copland, Windows Longhorn, Chandler, and Friendster.)

> And the heat gets trapped in the atmosphere?

That's what CO2 does. It is a greenhouse gas, meaning it traps heat that would otherwise have escaped into space.

It is literally impossible to turn heat, by itself, into anything useful. That's the 2nd law of thermodynamics, and it's a cruel mistress.

It's nice to think about alternative solutions to these problems, but you need to have at least a basic understanding of basic level physics if you want to discuss this sort of thing.

At a certain scale they will hire from the same pool as the ISPs. Labor is never saved, it's just moved around. Cooperatives are always better than traditional for-profit companies because you dont have an executive class that does nothing but soak up value generated by the laborers.

At very worst, this sort of volunteer operation will not change the relationship the workers have with their labor and only change who's paying them to do it.
Google, Facebook, Twitter jump out as examples. These are completely banned from operating due to censorship. Baidu, WeChat, and Weibo are the domestic equivalents, arguably dominant only because of this protectionism. WeChat has outgrown facebook though I think and FB could not win in China now. Corps which sell products in China (as opposed to those who buy manufactured goods that are exported from China) operate only crippled subsidiaries with 51% Chinese ownership for Chinese domestic sales due to their laws.
