> what if we had a "green" open source license? It would mandate that the companies that use the software, offset their pollution, and become climate neutral?

it'd need a bit of work to clearly define what this means.

suppose there's a climate-neutral-licensed plant optimisation tool T. maybe company A operates a coal mine (or whatever), and could save $1m / year by using the tool T. But company A currently doesn't offset any of their pollution, and doing that would cost them $10m, which they would be required to do by the licensing terms of tool T. So, assuming the license terms were enforceable, it wouldnt make purely financial sense for company to use T as the costs of complying with the licensing would exceed the cost reduction of using the tool.

But, could company A stand up a second tiny company B, which is a 1 person operation that has a contract to apply tool T to company A's operations, as an ongoing service? Then the (direct) pollution from company B would be tiny (1 person, 1 office, a network connection and a coffee machine or whatever), so it might only cost $5k / year to offset. But then company A could receive the $1m benefit of T without directly using it, without needing to offset $10m pollution, but perhaps with some additional cost of $50k/year of overhead required for the additional structure of company B.

i.e. in this example in the sense of the productive physical economy, essentially the same thing is happening, in terms of overall environmental impact, but by performing non-productive financial/legal gerrymandering company A might be able to comply with the license without really doing anything.

this could be avoided if the calculation used to figure out a company's environmental impact accounted for the indirect environmental impact of how company's revenues are obtained and costs are incurred -- perhaps through relationships with other companies or other parties that are heavily polluting.

but that'd get complicated! one way to figure this out in an objective way would be to have the state regulate it and estimate the environmental impact of each firm. bureaucracy required would be similar to taxation, but accounting for "how did you make this profit? was it from a productive environmentally sustainable activity, or a non-productive or non sustainable activity?"

then, assuming this bureaucracy was already in place to estimate the climate impact of each organisation, your license could refer to that
I had a similar experience with a mechanical keyboard so loud I could hear it through my Bose noise-cancelling headphones. Fortunately a spot opened up in a different room and I jumped on it.
>As for breaking your stack, this actually is not that hard. All you have to do is not tie your application to the system.

My point is the opposite, I want to tie my application to a reliable system so I don't have to deal with something else (pip, gem, npm, mvn, etc.) because those things break, I can't rely on them being available, I can't rely on packages always being there, I can't rely on the security of what is out there.

I can rely on the system python and associated packages, I can trust that security issues will be patched, and I can trust that compatibility will be maintained. Doing that I would be stuck with an aged and aging upstream perhaps blocking adoption of new technologies, but it buys me stability and peace of mind. There are tradeoffs, for sure.

I think you can get a 1 Bedroom in Manhattan for less than a million - maybe $800k or so. But it will be further away from the subway. So in a neighborhood like Yorkville.

As always, it's all location, location, location, so it depends.
Other commenters are linking to _studies_, I think parent is asking if GP had a _test_ done for them that specifically showed them their brain structure. Big difference between a study and a consumer-/patient- ready product. At least, studies could mean the product is forthcoming.

When I search "brain structure test" I get IQ/personality quiz web pages. "brain structure medical procedure" gets me general information on brain anatomy and glossaries of neurosurgical terms. "{gender|trans} identity brain structure procedure" similarly returns scholarly information.

Nothing on a procedure I could schedule with my doctor, but maybe it's easier to ask my doctor than use Google. Maybe someone with better Google-fu could suggest better keywords. Has anyone done this or asked their doctor about it? I know I'd be interested in what my brain looks like in this regard!
Similar, but not exactly the same. My car goes when I want to go. The train goes when it goes even when I'm not there. I ride the bus to work, I am often annoyed to arrive at work 20 minutes early when I really wanted to sleep in those 20 minutes, but the bus runs on a half hour schedule - too bad for my preference. Traffic jams, road closures and parking restrictions are an issue for some, but I'm lucky enough that for the places I go they are not (between living in a small town and alternate routes I can get around by car with no problems).

I take the bus, I'm trading a bit of time for the convenience of having someone else drive, and a forced exercise program walking to the bus stop. Several times a month I need to go someplace where the bus doesn't go without an unreasonably long walk.

I believe you are genuinely trying to help solve the problem. However I think your plan of action is misguided, and is making things worse. Your ideas only appeal to certain personality types in rich countries. They make an enemy out of everybody else.

Your framing of the solution as "Humans need to change from growth to enjoying what we have" is wrong. This is diametrically opposed to human nature--you're literally swimming upstream on this one. It's not going to happen.

If we look at the solution in a way that harnesses the natural tendencies of humans to compete with each other and seek better lives for their children--you could describe it as the following: We need to find newer, more environmentally friendly technologies, faster. This is the Elon Musk approach, and he's proven it works.

Instead of spending billions of dollars on public education programs to eliminate plastic straws, why not direct that money toward inventing bio-degradable straws that are cheaper than plastic? This is absolutely doable.

Instead of telling people to stop flying to visit their family, why not work toward creating more fuel efficient forms of air travel?

You're misguided if you think wrapping yourself in the self-satisfied flag of "do-gooder" and shouting loudly at people to join you is going to have any meaningful impact.
this is very surprising, considering that you can actually see it with your own eyes at night and it is not spherical at all. There are also countless panoramic photos of the whole thing, which always look more or less the same, and there is no way it can be spherical.

Does that matter? If we're talking in terms of annual salary, the fact that they "don't get paid" over the summer is irrelevant; it's just the same amount of money distributed on a weird schedule, isn't it? All things being equal, you'd rather have the $60k job that had "an unpaid summer off" than the $60k job where you got paid all summer, right?
Ah, I didn't realize how specific your use of "your" was, perhaps because she didn't make any claims about the structure of her own brain.

I'm pretty sure my K-12 education (public school) and college (private university) were both above average, but I definitely learned _something_ from at least a few classes every year in K-12, and at least could tell you what sorts of things I've forgotten from them. Meanwhile, I couldn't tell you what about half of my college classes were even _supposed_ to have taught, shortly before graduation, despite passing all of them with (almost all) high marks.
You implied that the actions werent illegal, by bringing up things that Boeing said, and implying that Boeing is biased, and also wrong.

This is misleading, because the WTO has already ruled on this Airbus stuff.

And the WTO thinks that the stuff that the EU did is illegal. Therefore it is illegal, and you shouldn't imply that it is not illegal.

So yes, the stuff that the EU did is illegal. Full stop. It is illegal according to the WTO, and therefore it is irelevant to say that Boeing is Biased, because the authorities agree with Boeing and the authorities have ruled that it was illegal.

I think a lot of Amazon's internal tooling is sort of "unpublished" - I've not found a great reference for a lot of the really excellent dev support they had.

The AWS story is particularly interesting because a lot of the internal setup I was doing at the time was on old fashioned metal. There was an internal project called Move to AWS (MAWS) that encouraged using newly-developed integrations with the AWS systems that the public was using.

In other words, AWS lived alongside old-fashioned provisioning practices up until even the early 2010s.
I think everyone should be accountable for their role. If you're on the "customer success team" but you can't help customers, that probably feels pretty bad.
On the other hand, the chances of an innocent memory block having a random 8-byte magic value is vanishingly small, so that would work even better. If free() took only 1ns to run and you called it 2^64 times, that would take >500 years.
Like I said, it depends on density. If the home-to-station time is short enough then it already exists (like in New York) but in other places it's faster to just drive to the location rather than to/from a station on both ends (like in Los Angeles).

Density and last mile is the critical factor. Most cities in the US are too spread out currently.

Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.
It has a lot to do with corporations given that corporations actively lobby for policies that have adverse affects on the general public, collude with each other to fix prices/wages, and monopolize industries to push out competition, among other things. All of this due to them carrying out their "fiduciary responsibilities".

> The problem is that people don't have infinite time or attention.

Exactly this. Furthermore, we should be thinking about these issues in terms of ROI; how much time/effort/political capital does this intervention cost? And how much utility does it yield? Banning straws vs. sending them to landfill - not much difference in utility there as I see it.

Unfortunately a lot of movement environmentalism (every movement, really) is just virtue signaling ("Look at me, I fit in to this community, I don't use plastic straws!") rather than actions that are rationally constructed to make a difference.

Those solutions are not dead-simple at scale: they consume resources (such as file handles) on the server and they have to be supported by middle-boxes (such as proxies and reverse-proxies).

Google gets to see the actual error rates when these solutions are deployed in production. If you want traffic to get through to end-users, then it has to look like what network administrators expect to get to the long tail. The end result: QUIC is encapsulated in UDP, DNS-over-HTTPS, and MPEG-DASH live streaming (making streaming video look like HTTP, and making a new request every few seconds).

If you are not at Google scale, please, yes, use the newer, simpler technology.

I currently live in both New York and Los Angeles. The subways in NY work because of density, but they won't work in LA. Lightrail can be improved, and more lines added, but you're not going to get NY mobility in LA with trains alone. Not until someone solves the last-mile reach with something other than cars.
Yeah I'll second that. This game -- on hard mode -- is hitting exactly the same notes as Desert Golf but even better. Super relaxing and very strong on the "one more hole". I've been playing on and off throughout the day, up to level... 58. And now 61 because of course I couldn't just put the phone down.

Extremely impressed that this is your first game. There's a ton of polish in there. Love how pleasing the animation between holes is; you can just tell that went through many iterations until someone with the exact vision said "Yep, there it is".
Are you in the target demographic? Maybe the style appeals to them. I'm sure OP have done their market research.
I wonder if something like an MRI could allow medical professionals or diagnostic systems to automatically categorize this non-invasively?

The Colour of Magic is an early parody of the fantasy genre and isn't really all that representative of his later work. Pterry got better as he wrote more. Try some of the other books.
I totally agree, nuclear bombs don't kill people, people kill people. There is no reason people should be unable to build their own weapons and bombs. And don't even start with the WMD slippery slope.

More seriously, limiting speech should not be necessary in a good society were people don't let such stuff spread. But that doesn't seem to be how humans work. The marketplace of ideas does not necessarily prevent bad outcomes. And pretending that a root cause analysis for a genocide doesn't include speech as a vital segment in the chain leading to that atrocity seems illusory to me.

So yes, having reasonable rules doesn't seem that wrong to me. It certainly comes with all the usual problems of gov/regulation. I'm kind of fine with what we have here in Germany. Not that its perfect... but it kind of reminds me of that saying about aerospace rules... they are written in blood.

> but they are wasting the users' bandwidth as well. If the page was kept open for some time on e.g. a metered connection, this could cause some annoying surprises.

Over a 5 minute window we're talking 68KiB before compression. The article made the (poor imo) decision to omit compression, claiming it will affect all endpoints. But of course it won't affect all endpoints equally, since the payloads themselves are not equal. But let's go with this 68KiB for now as the worst case. That means if you left this open for a solid 2 hours it'd consume a grand total of less than 1.7MiB. Even on a metered connection it'd be damn hard to single this out as anything but a rounding error.
Quantum mechanics and waveforms collapsing when they're "observed" still sounds like a rendering trick in a videogame to me, like having objects that aren't in your field of view not be drawn.
Wikipedia has a chart of past deliveries, for comparison:

How long can we keep giving China, India etc a pass? And ourselves in allowing this level of irresponsible trade to happen?

We're busy panicking about "climate change" in terms of something that is going to end the world in a dozen years, it probably isn't... That said, pollution in and of itself should be a goal in terms of not doing it, and not trading with nations that do. As it is, there are cities in the U.S. I pretty much avoid or won't go to because the air quality is so bad that I can't stand being there. People need to stop with the boogie-man scare tactics pushing a political agenda and actually start concentrating on the very real issues that should be higher order priorities.
Right -- if you want to get above that wall, you need a Masters. And many then go on to get an Ed.S (specialist) and even a Ph.D.

As you say, there is a whole cottage industry of online accredited places (Liberty University, which I don't even consider to be the level of University of Phoenix, is accredited/recognized (unlike University of Phoenix) and used by MANY teachers in the state of Georgia, for instance -- I have a hunch there is some sort of financial relationship between the state and Liberty but I have no proof) -- some counties even offer easy access to loans/do tuition reimbursement.

Well honestly I have had a lot of sleep problems in the last 2 years. It seems I have CPPS[1], where I am up all night with an overactive bladder. The result is 5 or 6 out of 7 nights I get very little sleep.

I am in a role where I'm in leadership of a startup. I got there by being ambitious and pushing my capabilities. Now that we've experienced some success because of that, the company needs me to maintain a high level of performance. Further, I have a lot of equity tied up in the company. I feel stuck from the perspective of wanting to support the team, because of my equity, and honestly because when I'm normal, this is what I WANT to be doing.

I would love to be "fired" and just spend time with my kids until I figure this out.

Yes, I will still be here when you emerge, to the rhythmic sounds of Reach Extra-Firm bristles on flawless enamel. Each stroke brushing away any illusion of equality between us.

This is not about teeth. The teeth are merely 32 gleaming ivory towers from which to look down on you. This is about what the teeth represent. It’s about what else we both might surmise from this moment: That I am likely far better positioned for retirement. That my houseplants enjoy regular watering and seasonal fertilizer. That I have enviable cholesterol and triglyceride levels. All of that with which you struggle in life, that which eludes you? These things are effortless for me.

I feel cognitive liberty is underdiscussed. Not just in the context of consumption, but also in the context of mental autonomy. One of these days, if we don't have a strong cognitive liberty protection, they'll end up developing technology to "read" people's minds (which of course will be unreliable at first), and if we're not careful then the idea of having privacy in our own minds will be a thing of the past. If that happens, I fear we'll slip into a dystopia within a quarter century.
