I picked up a Dell R820 with quad 8-core (E5-4650L) and 96GB (24x4GB) RAM for USD$700 in March this year. Because of the memory mezzanines, it’s only half full in this configuration. And if I find a decent deal on E5-46xx V2s at some point I could get up to 96 threads.

I even managed to get it to boot from a PCIe NVME drive with an internal USB stick running the Clover bootloader (yes, the Hackintosh bootloader) to bootstrap into Ubuntu. It makes for a great VM server.

Also helps that iDRAC 7 is aeons ahead of the horrible iDRAC 6 servers I was using before.

Increasingly beginning to think that the term "climate activism" doesn't quite encompass revolutionary nature of political change necessary to fix this existential problem.

Dark matter search yields technique for locating heavy metal seams
Presumably the site being scraped is getting some value from being included in Google's index. If they aren't, they can always opt out.
I don’t know how, or why, but I’ve bought the same Phillips toothbrush for $20 from AliExpress when my original broke.

And I buy the heads from Asia too for a fraction of the store price.
They're obviously wrong, right there in the headline. Fewer than half of Google searches now result in a click.
Sorry I wasn't clear. I meant something like a Rack mounted server designed for a datacenter. Would it become whisper quiet if you just replaced the fan? Is it that simple?
Or it's a ton of compute in a single system for just 96W. Average US rates are roughly $1/yr per continuous watt.
I am going to venture and say this is not related to the ear apparatus, but in perception processing. I believe this type of deficit has been associated with ADHD, and other neurodevelopmental disorders/variations.
Regarding the "God will save us" comment.

It's easy to be skeptical but there are plenty of rational Christians who believe humans are made in the image of God, and while humans are inherently sinful (think the greed that plays a role in accelerating climate change), this brings them further from God. They believe that the closest to God you can be is to be essentially humanitarian. Humanitarians by definition would put aside personal gain to help their fellow humans (help reduce/eliminate climate change). Also that since the earth was given to us a gift, it is our responsibility to be good stewards.

Not all religious people think this way, but there does seem to be a sizable contingent who do.

It's a near impossible battle to fight, but that doesn't make it ok to give up. You eat an elephant by taking one bite at a time (and trying to convince other people how good elephant meat tastes)
For more context, "we know" seems to imply that there is something that you know about the person that you aren't going to spell out right now, but may use in the future.
It's funny but I've been driving a Z80 with an arduino-mega recently, and I actually timed it for the first time a couple of days ago. I'm getting 6000 clock-cycles a second. 6Khz, rather than that 6Mhz it would be cable of running standalone.
I'm in agreement. I moved my kids, all under 10, to a part of upstate New York that's slightly more "buffered" against climate change. It'll come here, but my best modeling shows that it'll be a bit more stable for about a decade longer.

I don't think we can fix this problem.

The best possible solution, at this point, is to try to build "habitats" for humans to survive in for as long as it takes for the ecosystem to reboot.

That obviously won't work for long term since historically, after a mass extinction, it takes about 50 million years for a new diverse ecosystem to get established.

We'll have to evolve as a species, both biologically and socially, in order to survive the extremes and lack of resources.

The question is if we can accomplish that evolution, even with the benefits of science, within time. Do we have 100 years? 200 years? 500 years? Even if we can survive in a mad-max style dystopia for 200 years, would we even have the ability to manufacture multi-generation shelters at that point? If we manufacture them now, would people stay in them even when the ecosystem hasn't yet collapsed?

How long can we live in an underground bubble before it falls apart and we're thrown into a world that's not hospitable for regular human life anymore? Can we survive as a species with a population collapse from almost 8 billion to a few dozen million?

The only "magic bullet" I can see saving us is if someone figures out cheap and accessible fusion energy. Nearly unlimited cheap energy could power a lot of otherwise impossible "moon shot" projects to try to save our species.
Meh. I bought a $55 7" LCD screen and a $10 tenkeyless mini keyboard. Much cheaper and more flexible than iLO for how often I need to have non-network access.
I love that Microsoft is doing this.

I was an exclusive Microsoft developer for almost 20 years until I started doing cloud deployments to AWS 2 years ago. Before then, server costs were someone else's problem. Now I’m doing a combination of .Net Core, Python, and JS/Node.

I realized that everything gets worse when you add Windows to any cloud solution - licensing costs, resource requirements, (I can do at lot with a very small Linux instance, Windows not so much), performance, startup times, easy scripting and automation, etc.

It gives me more of a reason to tell companies to move as far away from Windows on the server as possible.

I still develop on Windows,C#/.Net Core is my favorite language, don’t know much about Linux, and all of my “Linux deployments” are serverless with Docker/Fargate or Lambda.

I don’t have to worry about “server administration”, the one thing that kept me on Windows. We use managed services.
I believe what you're referring to is called "keto breath" in the keto-diet community. It's due to acetone, which is one of the ketones produced while in a state of ketosis / fasting.
A better alternative to a sunshade at L1 is a swarm of autonomous hot air balloons, which can change their reflectivity. A nice thing about this is that they do not need to be built all at once for the whole earth, but rich cities in north can use them to get more sunny days, and places like dubai would use them as artificial clouds.
Deep learning for climate adaptation: predict drought from satellite images
I don't particularly disagree with anything you had to say, but the tone of your post makes me wonder if you and similarly passionate individuals are actually ready to make money meet mouth. Have you stopped eating beef? Do you use only zero-emissions transport options? Have you taken zero flights and taxi rides since 2001? Is your day job contributing to some part of the solution to climate change?

Anyone who generally participates in the modern lifestyle that most of us share is one way or another contributing to the problem. Your passion is misplaced - wasted, even - unless you yourself are making drastic changes to how you live.

My home lab system of choice is the lenovo m92p tiny (or updated version)

It's a headless system in a tiny enclosure. i5 processor with up to 16GB ram. Power consumption is nice and low. And they feature remote management via serial over IP, remote power cycle, etc.

They can be had for less than $100 on ebay, and for me have been rock solid.
Except it will be ok. Things will change, but things always change. If we can turn things back and reign in the major contributors to warming, great, but we can't change the past, and all of the doom and gloom kvetching everyone loves to do here does nobody any good.
We live in an era with a big problem: Regular people have an attention span that's way too short to ingest enough information to vote effectively for very large issues.

This leads to the politicization of everything as a means of persuading people using wit or by demonizing the other side, because those methods are effective.

Combine this with very interested parties spreading disinformation, and we are in big trouble.
One of those books[1] that are really hard to translate to another medium. The movie tried, but somehow the book can give you a better approximation about the sense of smell.

I am glad that they do not discriminate on how much they charge: significant costs should be imposed on anyone wanting to further remove endangered species. I get what you are saying, you may want the tree removed but if everyone got their "just this one tree" removed, then it would speed up the extinction of that tree. Does that tree seriously need to be removed? Does it have life threatening consequences to you or the surrounding area? I seriously doubt it.
I think what folks are missing is that a lot of these "zero-click" searches happen as a result of Google scraping your website, and displaying the results as a "featured snippet."

Yes, they link to you below the featured snippet.

No, more people don't click, because they've taken the answer from your website and displayed it right in their search results.

For example: If I'm searching for "best nail for cedar wood" Google gives me the answer: STAINLESS STEEL - and I never had to click through to the website that gave the answer: https://bit.ly/2MdovdP

• Yes, this is good for users (it would also be good for users if Netflix gave away movies free)

• Overall, the publishers who "rank" for this query receive fewer clicks

• Google earns more ad revenue as users stick around on Google longer

Ironically, Google has a policy against scraping their results, but their whole business model is predicated off scraping other sites and making money off the content - in many cases never sending traffic (or significantly reduced traffic) to the publisher of the content.
All my unifi stuff runs hot. The ERLite 3 and switches, etc. I think they count on using the cases as heatsinks.
"We understand" is worse than "we get it".

The latter implies more empathy and is less formal and patronising.

Also "unusual" hints more at "eccentric". Bjork is unusual. Brian Wilson had a mental illness...

You could go out and spell it out: people with mental issues, or disabled, or whoever you like to include.
I think another decreasing search type, going by my own example, is the programming syntax/method name search.

If I can't remember exactly the syntax I can often construct a query precise enough that the first result shows enough of the syntax in stackoverflow's accepted answer that I can just proceed from there without clicking through.

We haven't had a disaster yet, as in a showstopping, "this is the end of the world" disaster. And those may be far off. But even a small disaster can create massive problems. For instance, take New York. It's quite literally at sea level. Sandy did a number on the infrastructure. Now let's say we get a hurricane with maybe 1.5x the power of Sandy, maybe 2x. What do you think that would do to the world's economy if New York faced serious damage? Or what about power plants? Do you think Fukushima is the only power plant that has crumbling infrastructure?

This isn't necessarily validated by hard scientific evidence, but I have a suspicion that climate change is exacerbating conflict in the middle east. For one, heat is a known catalyst for violence. But also, as desertification takes effect, resources become constrained, creating conflict.
it's not just the carousel. it's organic rankings too.

> But I just. can't. stop. [...] I've tried suppressing the urge to create, but I just can't do it. Ideas, challenges, problems, unmet potential, are everywhere, and I can't unsee them. On many days I despair that I won't live long enough to build even a tiny fraction of the things I see in my mind. [...] my idea list just keeps on growing faster than I can keep up.

If you really want to stop, well, I can tell you what worked for me. :/ Basically, burn out on it. Leverage that despair to turn aside. Increase it by focusing on things whose absence badly harm people, but where external constraints make progress largely intractable. Unripe fruit; unproductive research career planning. This degrades the reinforcement of little successes. Disengage from the list. Make it something that hurts to look at; don't review it; touch it less often; set it aside; forget it. Keep two or three open-ended and intractable projects around to serve as distraction from the rest. Incrementally pull back on seeing opportunities. Sort of a twisted mindfulness: see them swarm by; acknowledge them; let them go; forget them. With time, they become less in-your-face noticeable. Let's see... Make supporting past work a resented burden. Have stuff you enjoy doing and "care about" to absorb the displaced attention and effort. And so forth. Attack the system. So the hose can be turned off. Or at least down to dribbles. Just perhaps be clear on what you hope to accomplish by doing so. "This hurts so I want it to stop" is perhaps an insufficiently nuanced objective. FWIW.

> we will hit the point of no return

We have hit the point of no return. The only options available to us right now are how to minimize the inevitable effects.
The title "Less than half..." is pretty meaningless. 0% is less than half, so is 49%.
Right? It was technically 'first found' by the first 4chan user to read it.
Perhaps the pressure could have been applied privately. Like researcher gaining access to achieved milestones. As long as Microsoft's progress would have been reasonable, no release.

This issue is very time consuming to fix and very easy to exploit, and it affects a large number of people, directly and indirectly. A full system compromise from unprivileged process or sandbox.

Even if you don't personally use Windows, this might for example be used to compromise your data processed somewhere else.

I completely agree there needs to be very strong pressure on the vendors, and 90 day response is a very effective tool at that. But there should be some kind of alternative way to apply pressure on the vendor in cases that take a long time to fix and cause devastating collateral damage.

Any script kiddie can now start to use this in hours or days.

Thus allowing your competitor to take your place
You are very simply uninformed. What you think will happen in 50 years is the present. We’re already past the point of no return (well...officially we will be in 12 years, but we don’t have even close to the political will or infrastructure to avert it, so it’s more or less a certainty). People are already complacent and refuse or are unable to understand the massive scope of the problem.

Effects of emissions take about 20-30 years to be seen, so today’s emissions are already locked in to be felt mid-century. That should help put the 1 degree C rise you mentioned in proper context.

So, yes, things are that gloomy. We need immediate, global efforts in a war-like sense to change our entire energy sector if we are to avert the worst of it, and of course we’re only headed faster and more headstrong in the opposite direction. It’s not incorrect to say that we’re most likely completely fucked, and that Gen Z will be the last generation to experience a peaceful planet.
Can one LOL harder at this idea?

> Free-market environmentalists therefore argue that the best way to protect the environment is to clarify and protect property rights. This allows parties to negotiate improvements in environmental quality.

I would not hold my breath waiting for ExxonMobil, the Saudi Royal family, or any other powerful entity to give up property rights. This outcome is worse for them than turning the planet into slag.

> Owners face a strong incentive to take care of and protect their property. They must decide how much to use today and how much to use tomorrow. Everybody is trying to grow value. Corporate value and share price is based on their anticipated future profits. Owners with the possibility of transferring their property, either to an heir or through sale want their property to grow in value. Property rights encourage conservation and defend resources against depletion, since there is a strong incentive to maximize the value of the resource for the future.

Just like a CEO would never risk the long term sustainability of the company for fat short term bonus. /s

If humans were rational and were maximizing for future value we wouldn't be in this position.

A 12 year old boy crying because he's injured doesn't strike me as inherently disgusting at all. 12 year olds are children that don't have the full capacity to make reasoned decisions around the society around them. If they force themselves not to cry it's because someone enforced the notion that they shouldn't respond to pain.

"Teaching young men to be vulnerable and emotional sets them up for failure, and weakens their position."

No, this is not what is being argued. What is being argued is that men are already vulnerable and emotional and then repressing this causes psychological damage, and teaching men to repress this also causes them psychological damage.
It's hard for me to shake the vague feeling that this feels like someone setting up on the sidewalk in front of your property and saying hey, you could have done X, Y, or Z, to stop me from being here. And you say, I did do X. And they say, oh, X was two years ago. Y was last year. Now you have to do Z. Until next year when it'll be AA. And weirdly, AA is the exact opposite of X, because what you thought would take care of things two years ago now penalizes you.

It's not a perfect analogy, because obviously people still hope for referrals from Google. But this idea that because something is published somewhere, it's okay, reminds me of Arthur Dent finding out that the notification about demolishing his house was in the third-subbasement of a local government building in a file cabinet marked "Beware of the Leopard." From rough memory; please forgive if I mis-remembered.

DDG is worse, sadly. Unlike Google, they don't tell you they ignored part of your query. And for Google forcing a term is a strong signal and it will show to in the snippet most of the time. For DDG forcing a term is a weak signal and it will often not show up in the snippet and sometimes not at all.

I love DDG because of their bangs, but their "let me tell you what you actually wanted to search for"-attitude is pissing me off.

> Which codebase will be easier to adapt - the debty one or the zero-avoidable-debt one?

I feel this is a bit of strawman, though that may not be your intent.

As I mentioned in the above comment, wanting to avoid hurting your long term for the short term is fine and admirable. However, I think the distinction between "unavoidable" and "avoidable" debt is somewhat facile and unrealistic. It's a continuum, with points scattered throughout the center. Is this decision the best one? That is debatable, and should be debated, but the result won't be "yes debt" or "no debt".

I also said that if someone is shooting for "Zero debt" they should talk with their devs and make sure everyone is using words to mean the same thing. I continue to stand by that, because however clean and rational your personal definition may be, it's worthless if that's not the meaning anyone else is using.
