I am being a bit selfish - but I think that applies even to philanthropists. They do it because it makes them feel good, or to atone for past sins, or to make future generations look upon them as "good".

But I also disagree that my individual effort will have even the smallest effect. I'm one of nine billion. We frequently underestimate how big a number that is, and how insignificant the individual is when looked at as part of the whole.

You could count people at a rate of 10 a second, and still take 70 years of non-stop counting to count everyone in the world.

Fences. Walls. Snakes and Alligators. Guns. I think there are lots of ways to keep people in one side of the border. In addition to these (to be sure that my sarcasm gets passed, not just in addition, but much more importantly) Clear incentives. In the charter city you can work and study and live officially a good life. You go past the snake pit, you are not able to do any of that but are immediately brought back to charter city when caught.
Yeah you are right. The funny thing is I just had this discussion with my roommate last night. He was inebriated and stuffing his face with pounds of pork - and insisted I try some. I declined, and then he made the same points as you but less sober and cohesively (sorry Jake, but it's hard to take you seriously with all that bbq sauce on your face).

I think there is a scale, this is why I am not orthodox about it. If I went to Mexico City (and I would fly there) I would have to try the tacos. But my personal desire for meat is usually outweighed by my dislike of how the animals are treated.

That does sound weird considering how many athletes develop issues later in life due to build up of cartilage.

Just a bit of historical update - most 8-bit machines topped out at 64k of memory (8 bit data, 16 bit address space), but some could do more with extra hardware or "tricks" (paging a special 8k block using a custom MMU or similar); even then, memory tended to be limited just due to cost if nothing else.

16-bit machines usually had a larger address space; the Motorola 68000 had a 24-bit address bus, for instance. While that allowed for quite a bit of memory, again (at least for most consumer hardware) most people were limited to at first 512k to 1Mb, then as the early-90s wore on, up to about 8Mb - at which point 32-bit cpus became affordable.

So the only place you really saw larger amounts of memory (and this is more my understanding than experience, as I was just a kid then) with 16-bit machines was usually businesses and other "larger scale" computing that had the need and finances to afford it. As always, I suppose.

Qt development using Python is similarly painful, I end up drafting things up in Qt Creator, taking that code and amending it to work in Python.

I thought I hated Math till I got to university. I had to take a bunch of remedial courses on high school level math but ultimately ended up with a math minor in addition to my CS major because I enjoyed the subject so much.

I was thinking the same thing, there is plenty of apps that you can basically do this same functionality in? Why not just move to one of those to stop this from being able to happen? And FWIW, I'm still against Apple taking down the app from the store, but just also was curious why the app was ever needed in the first place (again, cause you can do literally this on apps like Waze)?

I can retract the same comment within 24 hours.

How can they keep a straight face, promoting security and privacy after such a public failure, where obviously profits come first.

I'm pretty sure that the Chinese bots, that gave the app a 1-star rating aren't banned at all.
I think you're right- the solution is going to be a combination of carbon capture, agricultural technology, energy storage, and some degree of energy austerity enforced with carbon taxes. How much austerity depends on how soon we begin addressing the problem.
That doesn't work. Many vaccines are not effective if given at younger than 18 months so they are not given at all. Since I have another kid on the way there is a large window where my kid isn't protected unless everybody else is vaccinated and thus not spreading disease. Herd immunity works only if the herd is immune.
not so much in terms of lifestyle, would be my guess
China is a big growing market and the CCP cleverly share a huge piece of the pie with Western companies. Western Democracies are growth addict and China is their dealer.

Another "problem" is that despite its corruption and autocracy, the CCP still manages to make life better for the average Chinese. On the street it is not a hopeless hell, so right now giving up some of their freedom looks like a good deal to them.

So even if Apple manage to break free from its manufacturing lock in, that's a lot of general inertia to go against. Also, considering that Apple approach to privacy is more and more at odd in the Western World, they have enough on their plate already.
I had the same thought. But when the power was turned off in my town last night, the corridor that was affected was not near us. PG&E should have known that (1) the conditions were not even close to what they had thought on the ground, and (2) except for certain transmission corridors in our area, no one would be affected. Instead they caused massive inconvenience and minor panic, with businesses closing and schools spending lots of time planning for unnecessary contingencies.
The Vim from Scratch Book (Or How to Build an IDE-Like Experience)
This x1000. The EU started to crack during the Greece financial crisis, way before the refugee crisis, since the Northern EU states didn't want to give any more money to the economically failing Southern EU states.

If European taxpayers don't want their taxes going to other EU countries then that should tell you something about their desire to aid people outside the EU.

Charity starts at home.
PG&E literally falsified maintenance records. They are not innocent victims who did what they could to prevent fires.
There's a balance between freedom of expression and security (de-platforming). Where that balance is, is different for most everyone.
I agree and I don’t think you’re an asshole.

There is a bigger problem before a one-size-fits-all-no-meat solution, climate change deniers.

If you can’t get people to acknowledge the problem is real, you aren’t going to get them to make a big life change to help address it.

I’m on the same page as you regarding meat. I love it. One of my hobbies is cooking it. That’s said, I acknowledge there is a problem and I want to do my part, despite that it may not do much in the grand scheme of things.

Three dinners a week are vegetarian/vegan from Veestro (prepared meals) so I don’t have to _work_ to have a “lower quality” meal.[1]

I moved east in LA so I could own property to start growing my own food (not fully self sustained - yet)

All the vegans still driving cars, how green are those cars? Are they getting more efficient? How green are the trucks moving the produce you buy? Why do you live in a big city paying rent instead of having a home with land that you can grow your own food?

Use a phone? Gotta get that new phone as soon as it comes out?[2] Live in a house? Look out a window? What’s the carbon footprint of processing the sand to make this things?

People need to spend more time pressuring governments and corporations and finding any way that they can personally help that keeps them happy with their quality of life and less time looking down their nose at other individuals for not following their holier-than-thou solution.

[1] veestro isn’t low quality, it’s pretty good. I meant lower quality in my eyes because it’s lacking a key ingredient

[2] I only buy refurbed phones because I know sand is a bitch.

I'm not from the US and I'm unfamiliar with the concept of charter schools.

If so, in which way would they help or improve any of the hardships associated with Middle School?

Thanks for asking. I've answered this in another thread, I'll copy paste the reply over with minor edits:

Yes, I can admit that I've created an alternate account. Because the current American political atmosphere is instilling fear for my ability to freely express the alternative that's other than the popular opinion. I'm selfish and wish to not cause damage to my credential on my main account, and leave that for non-political discussions.

I only come to hope to bring certain other perspective in peace and hoping for scholarly discussions on perspectives that I've not personally considered.

As for my life trajectory, I was born in China, studied in Canada, and now presently resides in America. I like to think that I lean towards the center, but other people may not believe so.

We're gardeners, and the whole earth is our garden. We aren't separate from the environment, it is our garden to manage, and to decide how beautiful or barren we want it to be. Every landscape on earth has been indelibly shaped by human beings, often before we were even aware of "humanity" or "the earth" as a concept in total. Some think even the amazon may have been in large part planted by us. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/pristine-untou...

There is no pristine ideal of the environment to return to, or to preserve. But our impact is so large now that we can no longer afford to have it all be accidental. We have to be very deliberate now about how we want the earth to be.
Not anymore ;)
As has been pointed out in other threads, it will take more than two generations of people for the lives of humanity to really be changed. And, in all likelihood, humanity will simply use technology to adapt to the changed circumstances.

My hypothetical grandchildren's grandchildren will be dead of old age well before humanity will have to do more than move from one city to another to preserve their way of life.

I’m in high school. The education system’s only saving grace is the small group of exceptional teachers and administrators that dare to defy what’s expected of them by the government-approved programs and curricula.

To ensure there was no way for one user’s data to mingle with another, each cloud instance had its own dedicated VM, database

No this will not protect you. Understanding the proper way to configure IAM roles with principle of least privilege will.

The author mentions that The issue here is Octopus is like a CI server - customers can run arbitrary code in the instance (not a problem most SaaS apps have). So a VM per customer was almost the bare minimum.

If you're using the same IAM role for your EC2 instances, and you're allowing your customers to run arbitrary code, well now at the very least they have access to everyone's databases.

But isn't this all the same thing? Apple made a decision: "This form of speech is dangerous, so we're going to decide what our customers are allowed to see." And so Apple blocks both dangerous speech, and safe speech that could harm Apple's revenue, and safe speech that powerful individuals dislike.

People always seem to think of this as a false dichotomy, so I want to emphasize again that I think Apple's curated App Store is great. It just shouldn't be the only way to acquire software.

The government is a firehose of money, and only government (academic) research gets reported on by the media. So yes it's entirely possible for private sector research to simply disappear, relative to the output of academia, whose papers utterly dominate the conversation.

How often do you see private sector studies be cited by the media? The sort of people who become journalists are the sort of people who immediately write off any study funded by industry without even bothering to read it.

I can't actually remember the last time I saw an industry or thinktank funded study being cited in US media, other than maybe by Breitbart. These studies do exist: go read any climate skeptic blog and you'll find quite detailed surveys, meta-analyses and the sort of content you'd find in a published paper if these people were the sorts of people who published in academic journals (they're not). But the press normally just ignores them, and on the rare occasions they don't, it's only to paint them as science-hating bogeymen.

For instance, I linked in another comment to a study on ocean acidification by Patrick Moore, who has a PhD in ecology and used to be a regional leader of Greepeace. This paper has all the same things you'd expect to find in a normal academic paper: citations, data and it says it was subject to double-blind peer review prior to publication.

https://fcpp.org/sites/default/files/documents/Moore%20-%20O...

And here's the Guardian commenting on Moore's work:

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/planet-oz/2015/apr/1...

The piece is titled "Ask the real experts" and starts with 9 paragraphs of hate-filled invective that compares Moore and the scientists who support him to UFO believers, Elvis spotters, calls them "crazyballs", claims they're "blinded by beliefs and ideology", states that their views should never be allowed into national newspapers, falsely claims Moore has not written any peer reviewed publications (but e.g. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/B978012804...), and then cites as evidence three "actual experts" who, of course, all work in universities.

The Guardian is a particularly extreme enclave of hard-left journalists who think only government-funded academics can understand a scientific topic, but the rest of the industry has similar biases.

As another example, here's a rather detailed replication and peer review of Al Gore's famous CO2 in a bottle experiment:

https://wattsupwiththat.com/gore-and-bill-nye-fail-at-doing-...

It discovers that the original experiment was fraudulent (this isn't stated to mean anything beyond Al Gore being a fraud; the author fully accepts that CO2 is a greenhouse gas).
Of course. Just to state the obvious: asking for puritan veganism is not necessary, and diplomatically irresponsible.

A friend of mine loves meat dishes, but has no problem eating vegetarian or vegan for days in a row. For him, meat is an optional ingredient, alongside cabbage and beans, not the staple of a healthy or even psychologically necessary diet.

That’s the mindset that is feasible and that we need. Not the religious zeal of that which calls itself veganism.
