One that concerns me in North America is the Pine Beetle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_pine_beetle) and its native, but affected by recent climate events.

The current infestation is actually causing the BC forests to be nearly a net carbon negative! (edit: to clarify I mean negative as in they're increasing the carbon output of the forests compared to the carbon sink. May be wording it wrong)
Yes it covers a bit more than what people tend to see in Machine Learning which is the model training part. From the code base it looks to cover:

1) feature preparation and model training as part of notebooks

2) Creation of a Flask API to interact with the trained models. This includes feature enrichment based on APIs input, so as to match the expected inputs by the model

3) Creation of an UI to interact with the API/Model

4) Setup of NGinx and docker to surface that application

Each part is covered in a minimal manner compared to most enterprise data products, and only cover 1 of the approach for end to end ML, but I think it does the job well to demonstrate the scope of work that is needed to put ML data products into production, and could be used as good introduction.

The first paid programming contract I got, back in the late 70s, was writing a records management system for a water company .. we wrote the Forth interpreter too, for a 6502 CPU, to get low-level access to hardware such as water level sensors. A major obstacle was getting British Telecoms' permission to send data over the POTS line, but it all worked well for years. I love Forth.

That is a very bad idea. The protestors are already against one powerful actor. If they are against a second powerful actor, and something sinister happens to protestors, it will be easy to cast doubts on who did the sinister act.

IIRC Signal doesn't send message contents over GCM because of that - it just sends a ping that wakes the app to retrieve the data.

(The app of course also has a choice of encrypting the payload - it's free form after all.)
Plants did all of these, but they did the minimal amount necessary for them to survive. We can use existing plants as a huge library to mix and match behavior to get what we need. Unfortunately "just replacing" won't produce a very good results, as in many places normal forests won't survive, and in many other places they won't produce enough food compared ti single crop fields. But with gene engineering we can change that.
Great point re money laundering. Hanging out in those Wan Chai circles would invariably lead one to crossing paths with people with dirty money.
If that’s the case you can reduce parking and incentivize reduced car use regardless of automation. It’s just an urban planning matter.

It doesn’t follow that automation reduces the need for parking which then causes people to not own a car because there is reduced parking.

>The hyperbolic use of “destroyed” to mean adversely impacted,

There was no hyperbole there. It was at best clickbait. I would accept clickbait; but my default understanding on that article is that they are proposing the end of pensions.

>Though, I would argue, it would also literally destroy pension funds, but as a more distant effect of causing them to be perceived as not delivering value, but that's entirely outside the focus.)

Pensions are pyramid schemes. It's a valid argument to be made. The author for sure is going down that route.
I presume by 60/40 you mean the pension funds should lower risk.

If they lower risk, they are not going to get close to their presumed 7-8% growth. Expected stock market growth rates is around 5%(https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/11/vanguard-cuts-expected-retur...) Rate of return on bonds is even worse.

Assuming this is correct, the choice is either increase contributions, or decrease payouts.

iMessage pressure is real for me too. I was considering switching to an iPhone for a while but found air message and have been using it for a few weeks. It doesn't have all the features of iMessage, but core messaging works pretty well and I haven't felt a need to switch to an iPhone.

> I'd love to see a standardized IM/Text protocol instead of 1000 fragmented platforms. I've got on the order of 10 chat apps on my phone right now, all used in different contexts.

Apple could easily open the protocol, but they won't. They also won't use any of the other ones so as long as you'll be using iOS, you'll be in the iMessage garden and everyone else will be in another garden.

I don't mean to intrude or otherwise question you but have you looked into weightlifting as a solution? I used to get RSI pretty bad, and had back problems until about four years ago when I did heavy (two-hours a day, six days a week) weightlifting for a few months. Haven't had it since.
You really should not cheap out on something you will literally be spending thousands of hours of your life using.
I believe there is an API for hooking into notification text prior to display, which allows the Signal app to decrypt the message. The Signal server doesn't have access to the plaintext message in order to send it in a GCM.

The only difference is that my behavior is under my control, while what others do is outside of my control (yes, I can have an influence on people, or I could use force, etc. but this really is besides the point).

My question still stands. As an individual, what can I do to stop contributing to say, deforestation? How do I become "unconnected"? If you want, you could also answer this question not in terms of the individual, but the group of people (collective). What should I do? What should we do? These two questions are different, and they may have two entirely different answers. If not, then what does it matter if I asked it from the POV of the individual? Feel free to answer both of them if you wish.

For the sake of the discussion, please do not assume individual guilt. I did not ask what to do to exculpate myself from it.

Think about learning to drive a car. You come to an intersection, and you check very carefully to make sure that there aren't any other cars moving in a way that you have to avoid. Then you proceed.

After a while, you don't drive that way. While you should still maintain caution, you just see the other cars. You are now a better driver, not a worse one.

In the same way, you grow as an engineer partly as you grow the number of situations that you can just "pattern match" on. It doesn't mean that your logic is somehow failing you! Instead, it means that when you see that situation, you "just know" how to solve it (typically, by seeing similar situations a few times). The logic still works for the situations you don't know how to "just see" the solution to.

If you're solving all your problems on autopilot, it means you're ready to step up to harder problems.

And, a caveat. "Autopilot" can produce wrong results from time to time. It's worth taking a bit of time to think through whether the solution is actually right (the more important the problem, the more time is appropriate).

No iOS user thinks its "Android's" problem, but they do know that being on Android is the problem.

iOS = 1 ecosystem.

Android = infinite ecosystems with no cohesion.

One has native capability and consistent user experience which is now better for social interaction. The other has people rationalizing how a non-native app can be used which also wouldn't solve the aforementioned problem of receiving a random type of message, because nobody wants that experience, they want the rich experience that is native to iOS.

The android native experiences described even in OP's blog post won't be available for AGES on most people's devices, and even in that age they won't be reliable features because of custom OS' and devices won't be allowed to support it, based on the preference of those distributors.

iOS users aren't confused about that shitshow, iOS users know that it doesn't matter why, there is simply no consensus to fixing it on android, no path to consensus on fixing on android, and a group of hopeful technology enthusiasts that missed the memo on how android cohesion will never get better.

Why wouldn't you use a more quality keyboard every day though? You're literally spending thousands of hours of your life using it, why cheap out? It's not even comparable to cars like that. It's not like mech keyboards are practically unusable in any conditions like how high end cars are somewhat unusable in adverse weather conditions.
Personally, I would much prefer a company that offered a match that allowed me to get the full 401k amount pretax ($56k) over one that offered the equivalent in salary. Might want to look into it. If you don’t have a 401k at all, you should really look into it. Time in the market, and all.
My favorite keyboard is a silicone roll-up keyboard. I first got one probably fifteen years ago as a result of my brother getting in a fight with me and pulling the cord out of the keyboard we had. The Radio Shack in town only had this odd blue silicone roll up keyboard, so we bought it.

Turns out it's basically silent to type on, which was very nice at the time because my dad would always wake up from the keyboard noise and get after us to go to sleep.

Served the same useful purpose in college when I had roommates.

The thing these days that I like most about it is that it's completely flat, which means I can rest my wrists on the desk and not get weird RSI issues from my wrists being out of alignment.

The main complaint people have ever had about using it is that it forces you to learn how to hit the keys exactly on center because just hitting them on the edge will cause the silicone to buckle without hitting the switch. Really I think it's made me a better typist overall.

They do tend to break maybe every five years or so. More often if you pick it up or attempt to at all take advantage of the "roll up" feature.

Also it's sealed, so if something spills on it, you just needs to wipe it up and no harm done.

Ya, anyone "winning" at gambling is not what you think. I have a relative who always won at the OTB. I mean, always. When I was a kid I would ride around with him and he would got to 2-3 different OTB parlors and come out with a wad of cash from each one. Turns out he was collecting money from some illegal gambling operation that they ran out of the back that he was a partner in. His cover story was always that he was good at picking the horses.

You need to throw out your fossil-economy preconceptions. Efficiency is irrelevant when you're running off direct solar energy. Sure, you could drop the price of a complete unit if it can run on a smaller panel, but the significant variable is not energy efficiency, its resilience to intermittent insolation.

Android 10 Is here [things to know about Android 10]
I heard of Realtek,and took a look at it. It still comes with fever RF accessories on package, and thus grows your BOM. And their wireless docs and SDK as a whole are kind of obscure/"Taiwan style"

Plus, since it comes from "another China" it's subject to Chinese customs duty which negates whatever cost advantage it could have.
The way they show and demonstrate gestures, along with the UI at the bottom, strongly suggests that they intend to eliminate the semi-"hard" buttons in favor of gestures. That would save space, give people a bit more control over fullscreen apps, and provide a less "modal" UI where the same gestures always work even if the buttons aren't available (such as when playing fullscreen video).

Also, "Get security updates faster." is huge; this is effectively saying "no matter who makes your phone, you still get updates".

Deprecating "Device admin for enterprise" makes it much safer to access work resources from an otherwise personal Android device, without giving your IT department the ability to remote-wipe your entire device.

The efficiency and environmental impact from delivering a single $5 item in a large cardboard box, possibly multiple times a day, several days a week via gig economy couriers is disgusting. I literally cannot leave my apartment complex without driving around Amazon vans parked in the middle of the street every single day.

At a minimum, without even shipping more items, the result of gig couriers vs. fedex/ups is 2.7x the number of vehicles on the road (due to size difference).

It also gets around legal liability costs, since you can just create and destroy hundreds of gig courier corporations around the country when issues arise from "pushing the envelope" in terms of safety and policy.

Can you imagine the world we would live in if 90% of current retailers went to the Amazon ecommerce + gig courier model? Our infrastructure (primarily roads) would immediately fail.
