>It's not ridiculous. I was taught about the carbon cycle, greenhouse gasses, and climate change in a United States public high school in 1993. 26 years ago.

Climate is a complex, chaotic system. Again, there was no certainty regarding warming without the decades of research, data gathering, and modeling that followed. Knowledge of the carbon cycle and greenhouse potential is not enough alone to prove that the planet is warming from human activities. And, again, 20 years ago the consensus was that of global cooling, to emphasize the degree of uncertainty in the historic consensus. You're underestimating the gravity of the notion that we are terraforming, modifying global climate, which normally changes over 10^4-10^6 years, on the scale of 10^2, 2-4 orders of magnitude difference. No time in history have humans even been able to do such a thing, let alone had they reason to believe that it were even possible.

>Sure, but society has provided massive subsidies (both direct and indirect) to carbon-based fuels. Had we not provided those subsidies, society would be much better off.

Much better off without fuel for local and global shipping and power generation and raw material for plastics?

> to play into stereotypes to disarm the reader

That's a nice way to put it. I'd have said it was a way of coloring the audiences' initial impression of the information with the journalist's own racist and sexist views.

Edit: And, I'd agree that it is a common practice in journalism these days.
If they are of the view that there was no clearly prevailing position on that topic, then we're in consensus and we're all done with the discussion :)

>> But I'm asking why the person posting believes that the HN community overwhelmingly believes X and their evidence for that.

My read on it is that the person wasn't making an assertion of fact on this, they were making a wry observation that their perception of a prevailing view was the opposite of their parent commenter's perception of a prevailing view, thus demonstrating the hostile media effect in action.
Bucky is absolutely available everywhere in England. I sought it out last summer on vacation in the Lakes, largely as a joke to share (via social media) with other friends of mine who are also fans of Ted Leo. (Leo has a song that references Buckfast, and has had to explain what it is at concerts for years.)

It is terrible.

Yeah, a small bit of zram with alerts or automated scaling when it starts to fill up seems like the right answer here.

zram and zswap are also a lifesaver on low memory devices like chromebooks, especially if they have anything slower than nvme storage.
That's the theory, but what happens is the companies invent small variations like length of time release and then convince doctors to prescribe the new variations.

What if you live in a monarchy and all the land and all the trees belong to the king? Do you have moral/ethical right to steal fruit from the king's trees?

There are very few private trees around where I am. This app lists a lot of trees in public spaces around me - trees I never gave a second thought before. I'm grateful for it.

Eh, best to start with stop wasting food, then go with proper calorie count diet. Food waste in America is pretty bad. The gov already does PSAs to try bringing attention to the matter.
> I don't think people will stop consuming meat if you ask them nicely.

Illuminating the moral quandary of meat consumption helps. It worked for me. Nobody had to ask me nicely, they just needed to help me to think about it and be self-reflective.

Even if you believe there to be ethical meat consumption (a notion I find dubious in modern life), people can reduce consumption and have a big impact. Modern commercial meat and dairy production is a horrible process and most people are so insulated from it that you get used to thinking meat is just this product that comes from a factory.
People aren't obsessed with it, it's just good. You ever had a cold glass of whole milk with a slice of chocolate cake? It's good for your soul.
So? Corporations, governments and other people conspire to rip off customers all the time.

Off the top of my head: Planned obsolescence is a thing. Whole companies of people in India calling your house trying to trick you into buying computer-virus protection is a thing. Entire nations conspiring to steal industry secrets from other countries is a thing. Operation Mockingbird was/is a thing. General corruption is a thing and people working together when they have common goals is a thing.

So what's your point in saying that something sounds like a "conspiracy theory" when there are clearly many, many people conspiring to do wrong all the time?

Imagine what the US government might be doing abroad today, if there had been no push back from its citizens on the Iraq war? Or Vietnam?

Or take a look at the spotlight in the US being shined on immigration and the treatment of asylum seekers, today. Imagine a version of events where there is no such spotlight. That fight is still ongoing, and the outcome is uncertain... but would their situation be better or worse?

The US is also engaged in many, many humanitarian efforts all around the world - that is in part because these efforts are supported by the people.

No one is focusing exclusively on the tool here except for you.

When someone refers to 8chan as "far-right", they are not characterizing the software itself as having a far-right ideology, as opposed to the people using it, and the characterization remains correct in the general sense, even if not every member and not every board fits the description. Colloquial language is not required to have the precision of a legal document.

And the existence of far-left boards has no bearing on arguments regarding the nature of /pol/ or its effects.

Claiming that 8chan is ideologically neutral simply because software cannot possess an ideology is a disingenuous argument to make, as the site's deplatforming was not focused on the software per se, but the userbase of /pol./

I love that Joe Armstrong's PhD thesis is on this list. I have it on my reading list for junior engineers. It's incredibly accessible and the mental model is very powerful.
> I recognize that this is a problem, but I don't really support the government saving us from ourselves. I think this is something that average person just needs to educate themselves on and make the decision for themselves.

We like to frame this as a personal issue because the individual decides to keep checking social media outlets. On the other hand, social media outlets think of people collectively: they incorporate addictive features based upon correlations between features and desirable usage patterns. This is an incredibly powerful tool since the decisions of an individual is difficult to rely upon, yet the patterns of large collections of people can be modeled and the uncertainties in that model understood. In other words, we are placing ourselves at a serious disadvantage if we insist upon looking at the issue through the lens of the individual.

In a sense, the government has to educate the collective since there is a conflict of interest otherwise. The companies that have the most control over the information that people see are also the companies that have the largest interest in keeping people glued to their screens.
It's somewhat amusing when you rediscover the tragedy of the commons and the idea of scarcity by providing free access to your fruit tree.

Funny, I was building a system that needed a way to namespace CSS classes (so I could suck in HTML from different sources and assemble it into one document) and I found that class names can contain most of the ISO-LATIN-1 characters and I chose to use the broken vertical bar to separate namespaces from short names because hardly anyone uses it.

> By the same reasoning all drugs should be legal

Yeah, that actually works pretty great for Portugal and the war on drugs shows that just changing the rules doesn't work (another example in the same vein: the prohibition). People aren't that stupid that they need someone else to tell them what's good or bad for them. They know that. They just don't act accordingly, and that's the real problem, and you can't just fix that by saying no you can't do X. Everyone already knows they shouldn't do X. Your rules aren't adding anything.
This is a waste of time. Both "sides" have done terrible things and, again, one doesn't justify the other. We shouldn't cut these companies any Slack... be it Huawei, Uber, whatever.
Another great book by Minsky is Perceptrons. It's really short to boot, IIRC. It is an especially good book for those interested in ML. In it Minsky shows that single layer neural nets can not compute all problems. I remember that he has a caveat somewhere that he hasn't thought about multi-layer neural nets and they they may still be interesting. So great was the impact of this that hardly anyone worked on neural nets for something like a decade afterwards. But it's a brilliant book presented in a really simple style. It's a piece of history, I think.
This is not because you understand the theory of evolution that you consider it a moral thing to happen.

Actually, letting the weak die and selecting only the fittest is almost diametrically opposed to the very idea of civilization. Our goal as civilized animals is to make selection an outdated part of evolution. Cure the sick, help the handicap, preserve the old, protect the young.

We don't let people die to diseases in order to strengthen mankind. We take the helm and exterminate pathogens.

> If everyone stopped traveling for fun, that would reduce greenhouse gas emissions even more.

I'm not willing to agree that it would reduce emissions more than ending meat consumption. It would help, however.

Like most problems, there is not just one solution. Multiple modest to moderate changes in behavior can make a big difference.

- redesign cities to include more and better public transport (less car/truck traffic)

- reduce general product consumption (less global shipping) - we all know there's a lot of worthless stuff that gets manufactured and shipped, such as the low-end products you find in Walmart which break or fail after a short period of time

- create permaculture food forests in and around cities (reducing global shipping of produce)

- eat less meat (reducing production and transportation emissions)

To put it into perspective, it's a bit like getting fit and losing weight. Yes you can radically change your diet, or you can do crossfit every day, but those narrow+deep efforts are usually very unpleasant and unsustainable (in terms of a human's ability to keep with the changes). Instead, some diet changes, some consistent exercise, some lifestyle changes (walking/biking in place of some car drives) tends to result in lasting health benefits.

> A carbon tax fixes this.

Not really. A carbon tax encourages projects like mass forest planting of monocultures. That will result in some problem down the road.
Liquidity and debt help societies and people. It’s just important that you pay off the card before the 18% rates kick in. But there are smart ways of avoiding these rates for a long time. For example you can roll over your debt into new cards before the interest rates kick. This could allow you to keep debt for months without paying any interest at all.

The problem with debt is when you use it purely for consumption instead of investment or increased efficiency of your consumption. But in general, debt and leverage are a very powerful thing and essential to an efficient market.

I have read "Lisp 1.5 Programmers Manual”, “The Mythical Man-Month” and “The Meta-Object Protocol” by Kiczales. These all are definitely timeless classics.

These quotes about Gregor Kiczales and AspectJ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AspectJ are good intro to MOP:

"In Lisp, if you want to do aspect-oriented programming, you just do a
bunch of macros and you're there. In Java, you have to get Gregor
Kiczales to go out and start a new company, taking months and years
and try to get that to work. Lisp still has the advantage there, it's
just a question of people wanting that." -- Peter Norvig

"I am reminded of Gregor Kiczales at ILC 2003 displaying some AspectJ to a silent crowd, pausing, then plaintively adding, "When I show that to Java programmers they stand up and cheer." -- Kenny Tilton

Thanks for this well thought out comment. It's sad that it's getting downvoted. I agree that the replacement strategy isn't going to get us anywhere. It's a novelty. It's like people going on fad diets. They'll do it for a few months, feel accomplished, and backslide into their old habits. Going plant-based is a lifestyle change, it's something to own and be proud of, just like having a healthy workout routine.
2 is a decent number for GKE. At least some hope of staying up if a node falls over.

3 is more realistic though. If you run at 66% utilization, can deal with a single node down.

Aside from that let me just remind that pretty much everyone in here is an edge case user. We're not the norm so my guess is that your question should be addressed to the general public. In that context I doubt anyone would need such processing power. It's no surprise that Apple is investing heavily in the iPad Pro product line. Most users could be fine with just a tablet.

That you can trace from each known infectee is an important part of it, you don't have to discover the exact chain of infection to achieve a decent level of containment.
