So many claiming it's adults pulling strings and getting their kids into politics or activism.

Just one point to make to that: For any kid protesting, or caring about climate, it's been an issue that's been constantly in the background their whole damn life. Longer than they've been able to read.

Things we've had longer than 18 years: Recycling bins; climate and associated environmental stories such as species loss on news, documentaries, in schools; politicians talking about, dismissing and greenwashing climate; climate related taxes; alternative lightbulbs, insulation and low-energy promotions from utility companies. [other countries may vary on details, and age of majority]

How can they possibly not be forming strong opinions, and wanting to do something?

Remember CND and the peace movements? That was part of the kid's and youth culture of the sixties - for that generation that was impossible to miss with the constant Cold War backdrop. This generation gets added trolling and conspiracy claims of it being adults pulling strings.

An ant is stepped on by a man.

Did the man act out of malice, or because he didn't notice the ant? For some reason that is beyond the ant's comprehension or awareness?

Would the difference matter to the ant?

Climate change is the only thing in my lifetime to fully horrify me. I imagine those before us feeling similar horror in the face of world war. Still. They acted. I find myself going on like normal. Why am I not fighting with everything I got, if, for nothing else, for the future of my children?
There seem to be some psychological dissonance. Is the challenge just too big, the enemy just to diffuse, for us to bother?
I'm not sure about Chucks. I originally thought the same but the last pair I had developed holes in the top and the soles wore out in less than a year. I don't think I put a ton of miles on them. I'm guessing they sacrificed quality for profit somewhere along the line.
The fact that these photos are so beautiful makes me uncomfortable. Without context, these are simply beautiful pictures of nature. With context, it's terrifying.
Although you could do it with about 17km/s if you put it into a Holman transfer orbit to Venus and used a low flyby and aerobrake maneuver of Venus and that puts you into a flyby of Mercury which changes the orbital plane such that the ellipse intersects the corona.

Sad note that also limits your launch window to once every 113 years as I recall from the last time I did the math :-(.

From a technical perspective you push into an elliptical orbit that intersects Venus, you do a slight aerobreak (skim the surface of the atmosphere) to dogleg toward a Mercury intercept, and then as you pass Mercury it tightens your ellipse still further and you head out, and come back and fly through the outer corona of the Sun (which is its hottest point). At which point you're in a degenerate orbit that will go out and come back through the Sun's corona until you've been completely consumed/burned up.
I saw that line, but I must be missing something, or the article is. When I install apps with my free apple ID, they all use the same provisioning profile: I can see as much in Settings. However, I can't install more than three apps this way.
Discord

If you are a solo founder it's a great way to problem-solve since you can drop in screenshots and links which get parsed instantly and clearly.

It's particularly useful because there can be total strangers on you there (most of them are) who can still help you even though they're not on your team or colab software.

Probably one of my most embarrassingly used features is the fact that Discord saves messages for quite a long time actually, depending on the server. I've gone back months, sometimes over a year looking for how I built something and found the thread. I would even find the screenshots I placed at the time and the solution. (and also the user who helped me so I can contact them again if I needed to)
He's an ass for sure, but his commentary is spot on. Refreshing to hear in this fake-ass world we now all live in.
Well, yeah, sort of, depending on what you mean by "tiling like stuff", I suppose. For me, tiling was all about maximising my use of the screen and minimising labour, which meant being able to easily place windows where I wanted, without space between them, and without using the mouse or otherwise laboriously moving/resizing by hand. That was the "why" of tiling for me, and while BTT doesn't do the "how" of tiling (i.e. it has no capability to force tiling as you move windows around, and doesn't maintain a tree of windows liking a tiling WM does), it does have a pretty powerful "move/resize window" action. Using that action I can scratch my itch and do everything I ever used a tiling WM for.

So I've got a whole bunch of hotkeys doing things like "maximise window", "put window in top-right quadrant", "put window on display 3, taking up 1/3 of the width of the screen at the right and at full height". That kinda thing. This allows me to quickly/easily set things up as I want (not _automatically_ but that's fine for me in practice since the world and my needs are always in flux.) If you dig into it you can do some fairly powerful things... E.g. you can set up named triggers (i.e. actions not bound to hotkeys) which you can then call from AppleScript triggered by hotkeys (or, if you want, triggered externally by, e.g. Alfred, though I don't do that); the AppleScripts can maintain state between calls, so I have some hotkeys that move windows in cycles, e.g. "maximise the window's height and push it all the way to the left, and on each call cycle its width between 1/6, 1/3, 1/4, 1/2, 2/3" - stuff like that.

It's true you don't get "real" tiling with this - but as I say, for me, it satisfies the "why" of tiling WMs, without doing the "how". Hope that makes sense.
During our research, we’ve asked developers to choose the most important difficulties that remote work entails:

Almost half of our respondents say they don’t feel boundaries between their work and personal life. Moreover, the opportunity to not go to the office creates temptation or the ability to spend more time working;

A fifth of the respondents feel detached from the team or have difficulties in communication. These aspects emphasize the importance of proper communication with your employees;

Also, 20% of experienced respondents have difficulties with self-organization and loneliness.

It’s important to control the overworking compulsion and build strong communication within your team. Don’t let your employees feel isolated and try to spot burnout, because it may lead to disastrous effects. The short-term result of increased productivity isn’t worth losing a good specialist.
There are some wonderfully artful images in this post but it is woefully short of evidence of anything. The 2010 image of the east Kenyan person in water by Andrew McConnell/Panos looks staged to me. There are endless articles with 'could' and 'may' in them which are making people very anxious.

I came here to quote the ink blot metaphor as well. It raises a great question, and earns it thoroughly I think: Consciousness may be sensed before proven. What is the basis of that feeling, and is it worthy of scie tific consideration?

Personally I think it's a brilliant metaphor. What do we see in an ink blot? What do we see in any symmetries?
Didn't Colombians vote against Amnesty for farc in 2016? How is this not mentioned in the article
No, though I understand how you could interpret it that way.

The key part is this: "and yet remain utterly convinced by their oversimplified models."

That's emotion talking. A data driven approach would accept the data of the failure, and look to improve. It's warning of people who use science or data to enact a plan, and when that plan fails, falls back on emotion and belief rather than listening to the evidence.

The web was pretty bad pre-Chrome. Browsers were much slower and much less compatible. Things started to get worse once Chrome market share got to a third, or so, and Google started driving the direction of the web.
You're thinking of misused enterprise certs. This is a bit difference. If user's are self-signing, every install has a different certificate. So Apple can't just revoke one certificate and break everything.

The big catch is, users need to resign every seven days...
Climate change is one of two things that horrify me. The second is the nuclear sword of Damocles that has been hanging over our heads for 50 years. I don't understand why everyone thinks that now that the Cold war is over, everything's fine.

I'm incredibly concerned by the inaction, and the direction of the action being taken (Especially by climate activists), but I'll give people credit - at least there is a demand for the first problem to be taken seriously.

My grandfather (born well before the 50s, but still) was a professor his entire career and I can't a single (unambiguous) publication of his online. I would not be surprised to learn there were no papers, although I believe a book chapter occurred at some point.

The reason I don't like 'right to be forgotten' laws because it feels like it's using the law as a blunt instrument to solve a problem that is cultural in nature.

The reason such a law is required is often stated as "What if I, a changed person, am still haunted by something I did 20 years ago?" which to me seems more of a problem with our culture failing to adapt to new technologies. The world changed too rapidly and the culture is too emotion-driven these days, making 'right to be forgotten' laws seem necessary when the problem should, ideally, be solved by education.

I don't have the time right now to go into in depth about my thoughts, but I think there needs to be a distinction between 'right to be forgotten' as a cultural value and 'right to be forgotten' as law, the same way there's a distinction between 'freedom of speech' as a value ("I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it") and 'freedom of speech' as law as in the First Amendment. I'm not entirely sure where the line should be drawn, though, that is up for discussion.

My thoughts on the matter can be summed up as follows: Blocking some speech from your private website or publishing old racist tweets on your private website should fall in the same category (roughly) as eating an entire birthday cake: Something that shouldn't be illegal but something that should not be seen as good, people who do it should be made aware that what they're doing is not good but that it is their right to do so.

The recent controversy about Carson King (the viral Busch Light man) and his old racist tweets and the public reaction to all that come to mind as an example.

I'm a scary far-right NRX guy, and the accelerationist idea has obviously been raised in the circles I frequent.

"Wo unto the world because of offences! For offenses must come, but wo to him by whom the offence cometh!"

You have to be pretty damn sure you can build a better new world before you burn down the old one.

Would-be revolutionists would do better to focus their energies on things that:

- even the "evil other side" could never convince themselves to call a war crime

- are resilient to and helpful after whatever collapse is foreseen

- will have some benefit if the collapse does not occur

- don't make things worse.

It is, in fact, possible to find these things.

The worst-case scenario is that there's a collapse and it brings neither a worker's paradise nor the return of kings, but pointless gang wars. You can build that worker's paradise, or aristocratic character, before the collapse, and if you're right that the system is unsustainable, you'll "start" the collapse in a much better position. Sure, there are likely entrenched obstacles in your way, but making an omelette does not justify killing a few people.

The answer seems to lie in qualia. But by definition that is something that one cannot authentically communicate. And the notion of qualia itself is increasingly convergent with DNN latent space. Is the redness of red or the warmth of sunlight just a vector in n-dimensional latent space somewhere in our brain computers?

Maybe we're not really conscious.

> You're going to be able to sail over the Guggenheim

The Guggenheim is 77 feet tall. We're not going to be sailing over it. That's my point about hyperbole.

All coastal cities will experience some flooding. I've seen projections of 4-6 feet sea rise. That's not insurmountable by sea walls.

That map is useless because it doesn't show projected depths. It gets people all riled up without also explaining, yea in mid-town Manhattan if we do absolutely nothing between now and then we'll be under a foot or two of water.

Well, there's "I want to match Mars' orbit around the Sun, so I can orbit the planet," and then there's "I want to intersect Mars' orbit just as the planet is passing through so I smack into its surface and leave a big crater."

The latter takes a lot less delta v, but it has its drawbacks. Leaving the solar system, you don't have to budget for that rendezvous.

There is plenty of evidence, but I agree that this article specifically doesn't make a very good evidence backed argument. I also didn't find the pictures particularly emotionally poignant where they might move people to action researching the problems being described. Unfortunately, articles like this often hurt rather than help, IMO.
The author concludes with the idea that it is good if China becomes democratic in the way the west is, but I don't feel so comfortable with that idea. Lately I have come to realize many flaws of the democratic system, at least as currently implemented by many western countries. I don't see the emergence of divisiveness as a good thing. When people vote because they long to belong to a group, not because it is sensible policy, it will undermine the long term prosperity of said democracy.

Don't more people worry about this? Why do I get the feeling that too many people stick to the notion that democracy is automatically good, without considering possible reforms to address its current weaknesses?

Another thought: It is entirely possible that the CCP is not keen on democracy exactly because of democracy's weaknesses. Weaknesses that traditionally kept China weak. If we want China to accept democracy we can't just keep labeling them as 'evil' and call it a day, we should actually come up with a better sell.
My guess with what happened is that they were downloading to /var somewhere and messed up a variable name when they called unlink() to remove their temporary data, which when running as root would delete the symlink of /var to /private/var. It wouldn't be caught if they weren't testing without SIP enabled, on older macOS versions, and rebooting as a part of the test suite.

E.g. I'd put a dollar on this being a variable naming bug, where they called unlink(temp_dir) instead of unlink(temp_dir_where_we_put_stuff), with the former being "/var".
Of course, this is a bunch of nutpicked scans from newspapers with no scientific value beyond making some climate trolls feel smug. The level of science and attention given to the issue today is unprecedented and the fact that there were heatwaves in the past is not controversial. CO2 emitted by human activity is demonstrably warming the Earth in line with predictions going back 40 years, the predictions without drastic action are disastrous, and the observed is generally trending worse than predictions.

"Potential victim" sounds a lot like precrime in Minority Report.

Either people are once a criminal, always a criminal and should be permanently extricated from society; or people have the ability to grow and deserve a second chance at a normal life.

I believe in the latter, as does the justice system that lets people go after their time is served (barring sex offender registries, at least). And I understand that yes, sometimes, we get it wrong and a person reoffends. Life is messy and sometimes unfair, but we have to strike a balance and take some risk sometimes.

I further believe that if a person is able to put their criminality behind them, the recidivism rate will drop. If you deny them gainful employment because Google decided a news article from 20 years ago is the most relevant thing about a person, which biases all future potential employers against recruiting him, then I believe they will have far less to lose and are more likely, right or wrong, to take upon them the mindset that, "if you're going to treat me like a criminal, then I am going to act like one!"

The C implementation (and probably most of the other implementations) of Idiom #41 (reverse a string) doesn't correctly handle UTF-8; it just reverses an array of bytes. Normally I wouldn't take objection to this, but:

1) The problem description specifies "Each character must be handled correctly regardless its number of bytes in memory.", for which the C implementation rather plainly fails.

2) UTF-8 is so ubiquitous nowadays that any string-manipulating function that fails to correctly handle multibyte UTF-8 characters ought to be considered broken.
